point and call in the Prometheus data:
 app.get('/metrics', function (req, res) {
 res.set('Content-Type', prom.register.contentType);
 res.end(prom.register.metrics());
 });
Counters
00:06:25
Lesson Description:
The most common metric we've come across thus far, we already know counters measure how many times something happens or how long something happens — anything where we have to record an increasing amount of something. This can be useful for tracking requests, page hits, or how many times someone has used one particular API function — whatever we need to track. In the case of our application, we're going to use the Prometheus client library to create a counter that will keep track of how many name tasks are added to our to-do list over the course of its life. To do this, we first need to define our metric and give it a name, then we need to call that metric in the part of our code we want to keep track of — such as our app.post function that adds our task. Steps in This VideoOpen up the index.js file:
 cd forethought
 $EDITOR index.js
Define a new metric called forethought_number_of_todos_total that works as a counter:
 // Prometheus metric definitions
 const todocounter = new prom.Counter({
 name: 'forethought_number_of_todos_total',
 help: 'The number of items added to the to-do list, total'
 });
Call the new metric in the addtask post function so it increases by one every time the function is called while adding a task:
 // add a task
 app.post("/addtask", function(req, res) {
 var newTask = req.body.newtask;
 task.push(newTask);
 res.redirect("/");
 todocounter.inc();
 });
Save and exit.Test the application:
 node index.js
While the application is running, visit MYLABSERVER:8080 and add a few tasks to the to-do list.Visit MYLABSERVER:8080/metrics to view your newly created metric!
Gauges
00:05:51
Lesson Description:
We know gauges track the state of our metric across the time series — whether that be an amount of memory being used, how long a request or response takes, or how often an event is happening. Within our own application, we want to use a gauge so that we not only track how many tasks are being added (as we did in the previous lesson), but also how many tasks are being completed, giving us a look at how many active tasks are left and the velocity at which our users are completing their to-dos. Steps in This VideoDefine the new gauge metric for tracking tasks added and completed:
const todogauge = new prom.Gauge ({
 name: 'forethought_current_todos',
 help: 'Amount of incomplete tasks'
});
Add a gauge .inc() to the /addtask method:
// add a task
app.post("/addtask", function(req, res) {
 var newTask = req.body.newtask;
 task.push(newTask);
 res.redirect("/");
 todocounter.inc();
 todogauge.inc();
});
Add a gauge dec() to the /removetask method:
// remove a task
app.post("/removetask", function(req, res) {
 var completeTask = req.body.check;
 if (typeof completeTask === "string") {
 complete.push(completeTask);
 task.splice(task.indexOf(completeTask), 1);
 }
 else if (typeof completeTask === "object") {
 for (var i = 0; i < completeTask.length; i++) {
 complete.push(completeTask[i]);
 task.splice(task.indexOf(completeTask[i]), 1);
 todogauge.dec();
 }
 }
 res.redirect("/");
});
Save and exit the file.Test the application:
node index.js
While the application is running, visit MYLABSERVER:8080 and add a few tasks to the to-do list.Visit MYLABSERVER:8080/metrics to view your newly created metric!
Summaries and Histograms
00:12:24
Lesson Description:
Both summaries and histrograms are where our more advanced metric types come in. Both work similarly, working across multiple time series to keep track of sample observations, as well as the sum of the values of these observations. Each summary and histrogram contains not only the metrics we want to record — such as request time — but also the amount of requests (_count) and the sum of the total observations (_sum). Steps in This VideoMove into the forethought directory:
 cd forethought
Install the Node.js module response-time:
 npm install response-time --save
Open the index.js file:
 $EDITOR index.js
Define both the summary and histogram metrics:
 const tasksumm = new prom.Summary ({
 name: 'forethought_requests_summ',
 help: 'Latency in percentiles',
 });
 const taskhisto = new prom.Histogram ({
 name: 'forethought_requests_hist',
 help: 'Latency in history form',
 });
Call the response-time module with the other variables:
 var responseTime = require('response-time');
Around where we define our website code, add the response-time function, calling the time parameter within our .observe metrics:
 app.use(responseTime(function (req, res, time) {
 tasksumm.observe(time);
 taskhisto.observe(time);
 }));
Save and exit the file.Run the demo application:
 node index.js
View the demo application on port 8080, and add the tasks to generate metrics.View the /metrics endpoint. Notice how our response times are automatically sorted into percentiles for our summary. Also notice how we're not using all of our buckets in the histogram.Return to the command line and use CTRL+C to close the demo application.Reopen the index.js file:
$EDITOR index.js
Add the buckets parameter to the histogram definition. We're going to adjust our buckets based on the response times collected:
const taskhisto = new prom.Histogram ({
 name: 'forethought_requests_hist',
 help: 'Latency in history form',
 buckets: [0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10]
});
Save and exit. Run node index.js again to test.
Redeploying the Application
00:04:43
Lesson Description:
In this video, we're updating our Docker image to use our newly instrumented version of our application. No Docker knowledge needed — just follow these steps!Stop the current Docker container for our application:
 docker stop ft-app
Remove the container:
 docker rm ft-app
Remove the image:
 docker image rm forethought
Rebuild the image:
 docker build -t forethought .
Deploy the new container:
 docker run --name ft-app -p 80:8080 -d forethought
Add the application as an endpoint to Prometheus:
 sudo $EDITOR /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
 - job_name: 'forethought'
 static_configs:
 - targets: ['localhost:80']
Save and exit.Restart Prometheus:
 sudo systemctl restart prometheus

Managing Alerts
Recording Rules
00:09:29
Lesson Description:
With our monitoring set up across multiple levels of our stack, we can now go ahead and start doing more things with the metrics we're recording. Namely, we can begin to use these metrics to record "rules" in Prometheus — this essentially lets us pre-run a common PromQL result and record those results. We can then alert on these results as needed. But what metrics do we even want to alert on? We've already discussed that in an ideal world, we'll be alerting on the issue itself, not the symptom of the issue. But chances are we won't have the insight to know what the issues are until we have our monitoring up and running for a bit and learn the nuances are our system. Instead, in instances where we aren't sure what to alert on, we want to alert based on what the end user experiences. Steps in This

Pune: After bringing smiles to thousands of children across the country, Sesame Street Preschool- leading preschool chain in India will celebrated a fun-filled weekend with energetic children and their families. Sesame Street Preschool in Pimple Saudagar made a set up set up of "Grover's Café"at two premises, at Park Royale, Rahatani Road, Pimple Saudagar and at Royal Emperio, Rahatani Road, Pimple Saudagar.
The Grover's Health Café is a showcase of one of the unique ways children are taught at Sesame Street Preschool. This is a regular activity where kids are encouraged not just to eat healthy food but also taught about basic table etiquettes and hygiene, making healthy choices, sharing food, eating postures, etc. A restaurant style set up was arranged in the school and educators dressed as chefs welcome kids to the restaurant. The food comprising of healthy, delicious dishes were offered to kids as part of the menu.
Mona Singh, Vice President, Sesame Schoolhouse said, "Going by our group's mission – to help kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder we are dedicated to encouraging healthy habits among children through various awareness activities organized by the educators. The Grover's Café was reflection of the kind of healthy eating habits that we encourage at our school. We are looking forward to welcoming kids on the weekend and expose them to the world of healthy habits."

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringe patterns usually have poor contrast so it is important to enhance fringe contrast for the extraction of phase from a single fringe pattern. We present new enhancement methods based on differential equations (called DE enhancement methods) to electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringes. The DE enhancement methods transform the image processing to solve differential equations. With the proposed methods, the visibility of the correlation speckle fringe patterns can be improved significantly. We tested the proposed methods on computer-simulated speckle correlation fringes and experimentally obtained fringes, and we compared the new method with other contrast enhancement techniques. The experimental results illustrate the performance of this approach.

This paper explores the potential of a series of urban landscape interventions to engage people in physical activity. Online surveys were conducted with 595 participants living in the UK by inviting them to choose between conventional pavement or challenging routes (steppingstones, balancing beams, and high steps) using photorealistic images. Across four experiments, we discovered that 80% of walkers claim they would pick a challenging route in at least one of the scenarios, depending on perceived level of difficulty and design characteristics. Where a challenging option was shorter than a conventional route, this increased the likelihood of being chosen by 10%, and the presence of handrails by 12%. This suggests that people can get nudged into physical activities through minor changes to the urban landscape. We discuss implications for policy makers and urban designers…(More)".

Proton beam writing
This article does not cite any sources. (January 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Proton beam writing (or p-beam writing) is a direct-write lithography process that uses a focused beam of high energy (MeV) protons to pattern resist material at nanodimensions. The process, although similar in many ways to direct writing using electrons, nevertheless offers some interesting and unique advantages.
Protons, which are approximately 1800 times more massive than electrons, have deeper penetration in materials and travel in an almost straight path. This feature allows the fabrication of three-dimensional, high aspect ratio structures with vertical, smooth sidewalls and low line-edge roughness. Calculations have also indicated that p-beam writing exhibits minimal proximity effects (unwanted exposure due to secondary electrons), since the secondary electrons induced in proton/electron collisions have low energy. A further advantage stems from the ability of protons to displace atoms while traversing material, thereby increasing localized damage especially at the end of range. P-beam writing produces resistive patterns at depth in silicon, allowing patterning of selective regions with different optical properties as well as the removal of undamaged regions via electrochemical etching.
The primary mechanisms for producing structures in resist materials is, in general, bond scissioning in positive resists such as PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), or cross-linking in negative resists such as SU-8. In positive resists the regions damaged by protons are removed by chemical development to produce structures, whereas in negative resists the development procedures remove the undamaged resist leaving the cross-linked structures behind. In e-beam writing, the primary and secondary electrons create the scissioning or cross-linking, whereas in p-beam writing the damage is caused by short range proton-induced secondary electrons. The proton fluence required for exposure varies from 30-150 nCmm−2 depending on the resist material, and is around 80-100 times less than that required by e-beam writing. Remark: The unit of the fluence in proton beam writing is usually given in "charge/area". It can be converted into "particles/area" by dividing "charge/area" by the charge of a proton, Q = 1,602·10−19C.
P-beam writing is a new technology of great potential, and both current experimental data and theoretical predictions indicate that sub-10 nm 3D structuring is feasible. However, the lack of a user friendly commercial instrument with a small footprint is currently holding back the potentially wide range of application fields in which p-beam writing could make a substantial impact. Hopefully, this will be addressed in the near future.

Knowledge is the key to riches. Is the law (or anything else) protecting it adequately?
Authors: D van der Merwe
Journal: Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal
Information has brought about a new way of thinking and trading and a new concept of what is really valuable. In the present article the author explores whether efforts to catch up in various areas of law have kept pace with these developments. In the process some nice distinctions have to be made between data, information and intelligence and the various senses in which these terms are being used, depending on the context. In the end, one has to turn to legal philosophy and concepts such as post-modernism and empiricism in order to try to find a satisfying answer. PER/PELJ Vol. 4 2008: pp. 2-30

Showing results for tags 'crystalline glaze'.

Crystalline Glaze Chemistry Several have inquired about this specialty glaze in recent months, so I thought I would post an introduction into crystalline chemistry. The very first thing to do with this glaze is: throw out your glaze calculator and UMF spreadsheet: they do not apply to this glaze nor can you bring it into unity. Basic cone 6 through 10 crystalline recipe is: 50% ferro frit 3110, 25% zinc oxide, 25% silica 325m, and a seeding agent (see later). ^ Lithium carbonate flux additions discussed later. This is the basic crystalline glaze recipe, regardless of what cone you are firing to. However, crystalline glaze requires high fluidity of the glaze, so a high cone five is the minimum temperature level. It can be fired under five, but it takes a fair deal of chemistry to achieve it; so perhaps later it will be discussed. The reason you see so much variation in this basic recipe is because so many variables effect its outcome. Most of the variations are artistic preferences being inserted to control crystal size, population, and growth patterns. Likewise, the wide variance in firing ramp holds are due to kiln size, crystal development, peak cone temperature, and in many cases because the kilns were never calibrated by using cone packs or pyrometers to adjust thermocouple readings. An example: a ramp hold is stated as 2002F, but that same temperature could be 1992 or 2018F in your kiln. Frit 3110 is the standard and most reliable frit used in the crystalline recipe. There are frits used such as Fusion Frit 644, and others. If Ferro Frit 3110 is not available in your region, then use the chemical analysis of 3110 as a guide to compare available frits. Match the chemistry of your available frit as closely as possible to the chemistry of frit 3110. 50% of the basic recipe is frit, it alone makes up the glassy matrix of the glaze. Although silica is being added to this recipe, that silica addition serves a specific function other than being a glass former. Yes, the silica will add to the glass content, yet it is being added for feedstock for crystals to form. Frit is ground up glass that has already been melted at high temperatures; so the chemistry required to form glass in a glaze is not a consideration. Crystalline glaze requires a thick application of glaze, and crystals require a thick layer of molten glass to grow in. So lowering the frit level in this basic recipe also means you are restricting the glass level in which they grow. You rarely see the level of frit deviate from this basic recipe, and when it is adjusted: those adjustments are minimal. Crystalline glaze or crystals are chemically known as zinc-silicate crystals. Crystals form an ionic bond between zinc and silica: which is why equal parts of each comprise the basic recipe. Yes zinc adds opacity to the glaze and silica is a glass former: but neither addition is present in the recipe for those reasons. Zinc and silica are added and adjusted to form crystals, the additional glass formed or opacity added are secondary reactions. So the adjustments you see in various recipes are to manipulate crystal growth and population, and secondary â€œglaze chemistryâ€ is not a consideration.

UIKit vs. SwiftUI - A general discussion

UIKit vs. SwiftUI - A general discussion
UIKit vs. SwiftUI
UIKit and SwiftUI are two different frameworks for building user interfaces on Apple platforms.
UIKit
UIKit is the older of the two frameworks, and has been around since the early days of iOS development. It is a mature and powerful framework that provides a wide range of tools and APIs for building user interfaces, and is widely used by developers to create iOS and macOS applications. We can either use XIB, Storyboard or code to generate the user interface with the help of UIKit.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI, on the other hand, is a relatively new framework that was introduced in 2019 with the release of iOS 13. It is designed to make it easier and faster to build user interfaces for all of Apple's platforms, using the concept of declarative programming and a modern design philosophy. SwiftUI is built on top of the same underlying technologies as UIKit, but it offers a different way of thinking about and building user interfaces.
Which one should I choose
When deciding whether to use UIKit or SwiftUI, the main factor to consider is the platform and devices you are targeting, as well as your personal development preferences. UIKit is the older of the two frameworks, and it is the primary framework for building user interfaces on iOS and macOS. It is a mature and powerful framework that provides a wide range of tools and APIs for building user interfaces, and it is widely used by developers to create iOS and macOS applications.
If you are building an app for one of these platforms and you are comfortable with UIKit, then it is probably the best choice for your project. UIKit also has the advantage of being well-established and well-documented, so there is a wealth of information and resources available to help you get started and overcome any challenges you may encounter.
On the other hand, if you are building an app for one of Apple's newer platforms, such as watchOS or tvOS, or if you are looking for a more modern and efficient way to build user interfaces, then SwiftUI may be a better choice for your project. SwiftUI is designed to make it easier and faster to build user interfaces for all of Apple's platforms, using a declarative syntax and a modern design philosophy. It is built on top of the same underlying technologies as UIKit, but it offers a different way of thinking about and building user interfaces.
Ultimately, the choice between UIKit and SwiftUI will depend on your specific project requirements and your personal development preferences. Both frameworks have their strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to carefully evaluate your options and choose the one that is best suited to your needs.
Summary
In general, SwiftUI is seen as a more modern and efficient way to build user interfaces, and it is likely to become increasingly popular among developers in the coming years. However, UIKit is still a powerful and widely used framework, and it will continue to be a valuable tool for developers who need to create complex user interfaces or integrate with older technologies.


text: ||Abstract In the study of animal emotions, emotional valence has been found to be difficult to measure. Many studies of farm animals' emotions have therefore focussed on the identification of indicators of strong, mainly negative, emotions. However, subtle variations in emotional valence, such as those caused by rather moderate differences in husbandry conditions, may also affect animals' mood and welfare when such variations occur consistently. In this study, we investigated whether repeated moderate aversive or rewarding events could lead to measurable differences in emotional valence in young, weaned pigs. We conditioned 105 female pigs in a test arena to either a repeated startling procedure (sudden noises or appearances of objects) or a repeated rewarding procedure (applesauce, toy and straw) over 11 sessions. Control pigs were also regularly exposed to the same test arena but without conditioning. Before and after conditioning, we measured heart rate and its variability as well as the behavioural reactions of the subjects in the test arena, with a special focus on detailed acoustic analyses of their vocalisations. The behavioural and heart rate measures were analysed as changes compared to the baseline values before conditioning. A limited number of the putative indicators of emotional valence were affected by the conditioning. We found that the negatively conditioned pigs showed changes that were significantly different from those in control pigs, namely a decrease in locomotion and an increase in standing. The positively conditioned pigs, however, showed a stronger increase in heart rate and a smaller decrease in SDNN (a heart rate variability parameter indicating changes in autonomic regulation) compared to the controls. Compared to the negatively conditioned pigs, the positively conditioned pigs produced fewer vocalisations overall as well as fewer low-frequency grunts but more high-frequency grunts. The low-frequency grunts of the negatively conditioned pigs also showed lower frequency parameters (bandwidth, maximum frequency, 25% and 50% quartiles) compared to those of the positively conditioned pigs. In any of the statistically significant results, the conditioning accounted for 1.5–11.9% of variability in the outcome variable. Hence, we conclude that repeated moderate aversive and rewarding events have weak but measurable effects on some aspects of behaviour and physiology in young pigs, possibly indicating changes in emotional valence, which could ultimately affect their welfare. The combination of ethophysiological indicators, i.e., the concurrent examination of heart rate measures, behavioural responses and especially vocalisation patterns, as used in the current study, might be a useful way of examining subtle effects on emotional valence in further studies.

Have you ever wondered what happens when a copper wire is stretched? The answer may surprise you. It turns out that stretching a copper wire can have quite an impact, from changing its electrical properties to influencing its magnetic field. Let's dive into the science behind this phenomenon and explore why it happens.
What is a Copper Wire?
A copper wire is simply a piece of metal made out of copper that has been shaped into a thin strand. Copper wires are often used in electronics for their low-resistance properties, making them ideal for transmitting electricity. Depending on the gauge of the wire, different amounts of current can be carried by the wire safely and efficiently.
What Happens When You Stretch It?
When you stretch a copper wire, it changes its electrical resistance, which means it will require more voltage to carry the same amount of current as an unstretched wire. This also means that more energy will be lost in the form of heat when electricity is passed through the stretched wire. Additionally, stretching a copper wire will cause its magnetic field to weaken, as well as cause it to vibrate at higher frequencies than normal. This vibration can cause interference with other nearby electronics and should be avoided if possible.
Why Does This Happen?
The phenomenon of stretching a copper wire and having such an effect on its electrical properties has been studied extensively over the years. It all boils down to how electrons interact with each other inside the material being stretched—in this case, copper atoms. When the metal is stretched, these electrons become less mobile and thus require more energy to move through it than they would in an unstretched state; hence why more voltage is required for the same amount of current flow after stretching occurs. Furthermore, since electrons are negatively charged particles, their movement also affects any magnetic fields present near them; thus causing those fields to weaken when they are unable to move freely due to stretching.
If a copper wire is stretched to make it 0.1% longer, What is the percentage change in its resistance?
If a copper wire is stretched 0.1% longer, the resistance of the conductor will increase by 0.2%, according to Ohm's law. This is due to the increased length of the wire resulting in greater electron collisions with atoms along its path and thus more electrical resistance. The 0.1% change in the length of the wire will cause a 0.2% increase in its resistance, demonstrating that its resistance increases proportionately with its length change.
In conclusion, we now know that when you stretch a copper wire, it changes both its electrical and magnetic properties significantly due to how electrons interact within its structure. These effects can range from slight increases in voltage requirements up to complete interference with nearby electronics depending on how much force was applied during the stretching process itself. While this knowledge can help us understand why certain problems arise in our circuits or wiring systems over time due to stress or wear and tear on them, it can also help us design better products that are able to withstand long-term wear or strain without failing prematurely due to these changes in electrical/magnetic properties caused by stretching forces over time. Ultimately, understanding how these materials react under pressure will lead us toward better designs and more reliable products overall!

Our brand new Lumiso Expert photometer ensures accurate and consistent results using the Lumiso optical engine, which is now standard across our entire range of handheld and benchtop photometers. To support accurate drinking and wastewater testing further and prove the instrument is performing within specification for auditing purposes, the Lumiso Expert features new and improved check standards.
Check Standards are available for all Palintest photometers and are used to check the calibration of the instrument to ensure it is performing correctly. This is particularly useful for auditing and compliance purposes, as check standard test results are automatically saved on the instrument along with the exact date and time of testing, proving the instrument was performing within specification at the time the measurements were carried out.
Lumiso check standards are Neutral Density Filters (NDFs). A Neutral Density Filter is an optical filter that absorbs light of all wavelengths to the same extent. Therefore, they are very predictable when used as check standards in optical instruments such as Lumiso. The standards are made of a piece of coloured glass rather than a liquid like our previous multiparameter photometer check standards.
We have simplified the check standard procedure for our Lumiso Expert photometer. Lumiso Expert check standard kits consist of one blank and one standard, which enables a simpler and quicker testing procedure. NDF check standards absorb a similar level of light at all frequencies. Therefore, a single NDF can perform the same checks as the three liquid colour standards used with earlier Palintest photometers.
As the Lumiso check standards are NDFs, this means they are non-hazardous and are stable for longer than a liquid check standard, meaning a longer shelf life. As the NDF is in a protecting casing, fingerprints or marks will not affect the reading in the same way they do when present on the glass tubes of liquid standards. NDF check standards are also not temperature dependent in the same way that liquid standards are calibrated for use only between 20–25 °C. This all leads to a simpler, quicker and more user-friendly procedure for confirming your photometer is performing within specification.
The blank standard is used first, followed by Standard B. The values assigned to your specific check standard set can be quickly entered into the Lumiso Expert via a 16-digit code provided on their certificate. This code only needs to be entered once, and the values measured by the instrument are then compared to the assigned values automatically, and a simple pass or fail result is shown on screen.
As the Lumiso Expert check standards are testing the %T measurement at each wavelength, the blank and Standard B must be tested at every wavelength on the instrument. The label on the top of the standard indicates how to align the standard depending on the wavelength being measured, and the instrument shows illustrated instructions on-screen to make this procedure quick and easy.
Lumiso Expert and the Check Standard Kits are available now. If you would like to find out more about the Lumiso Expert photometer or check standards, or have any queries about how they work, please contact our team.
Currently the contact form is under maintenance, please use the below contact details to speak to your local Palintest branch where a member of the team will be happy to assist.

In summer, Product Manager for our Wagtech product range, Shaurya Sheoran, visited a WaterAid field site in India to discuss the current challenges on water quality faced by rural parts of India and how our kits are helping them achieve their mission of providing safe drinking water.
31st October 2022
Last month Product Manager for our Wagtech range Shaurya Sheoran and Technical Support Specialist Jessica McKenna provided some water quality training sessions as part of the RedR/ Cranfield University borehole drilling course. The event is a week-long training course covering well siting, drilling supervision and water quality sampling.
31st October 2022
Last month we closed our offices globally for one day to allow our employees some well-deserved rest. Our designated wellbeing day took place on 7th October 2022 and was day off work for all Palintest employees to relax and recharge in whatever way they felt appropriate. We have received some great stories of how our employees chose to spend this extra time away from the business to relax and focus on their physical, mental, and emotional state.

Zusammenfassung
Measurements in classical and quantum physics are described in fundamentally different ways. Nevertheless, one can formally define similar measurement procedures with respect to the disturbance they cause. Obviously, strong measurements, both classical and quantum, are invasive—they disturb the measured system. We show that it is possible to define general weak measurements, which are noninvasive: the disturbance becomes negligible as the measurement strength goes to zero. Classical intuition suggests that noninvasive measurements should be time symmetric (if the system dynamics is reversible) and we confirm that correlations are time-reversal symmetric in the classical case. However, quantum weak measurements - defined analogously to their classical Counterparts - can be noninvasive but not time symmetric. We present a simple example of measurements on a two-level system which violates time symmetry and propose an experiment with quantum dots to measure the timesymmetry violation in a third-order current correlation function.

Plant Pest and Agriculture Commodity Certification Act
The Kansas Plant Pest and Agriculture Commodity Certification Act was first enacted in 1907. This act serves four basic functions:
To protect the state from outbreaks of dangerous plant pests and diseases by locating plant pests and taking appropriate regulatory action when necessary
To provide for the licensing of live plant dealers
To provide for the inspection and certification of Kansas-produced commodities to facilitate shipments to domestic and international markets
To grant quarantine authority
This act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to quarantine and treat or destroy infested or infected plants or plant products to prevent the movement of dangerous plant pests into, or spread within, Kansas.
In addition to protecting the state's plant resources from unintentional or accidental introduction of plant pests, the authority provided in this law will assist in the state's homeland security effort to detect, identify, and respond to bioterrorism activities involving plant pests that may be intentionally introduced into the state.

Aircon Servicing in Boon Lay
Boon lay – an epic neighborhood of Jurong West
There is some the neighborhood in Singapore and boon lay is the famous one. Jurong West town consist boon lay. It has roughly corresponded border to the subzone of URA. Besides this, many people confused boon lay with boon lay planning area. This planning area is situated in the South of this neighborhood.
Chew Boon Lay was a famous businessman, and he inspires the name of this subzone. From the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, he owned most of the land of this neighborhood. But later on, it was captured by the colonial government and later on used by them war department. Previously it was a village, and in the year 1940, it had a population of 420. In 1969, boon lay began to develop and after that various building, and GBF flats were built in 1974. Also, West Coast GRC had divided, and this subzone is the part of that divisions.
About neighboring areas
Taking about its neighboring areas then they are seven in numbers. These following neighbors surround Boon Lay:
- Hong Kah
- Kian Teck
- Chin Bee
- Taman Jurong
There are very few estates which are built by the private sector. Otherwise, government officials made rest of the buildings. Here are the streets of boon lay:
- Avenue of Boon Lay
- Boon Lay place and,
- Boon Lay Drive
About transportation facilities
Taking the main roads of boon lay then here are their names:
- Boon lay way
- Jurong West and corporation road connects different islands around this neighborhood. Besides this, the island is linked to PIE.
Public transport of this precinct let its citizens travel comfortably. Here are the transportation options available here:
- Night bus service: This bus service is meant for those who want to travel at night i.e. during non-operational hours. There are two buses for this purpose named NR5 and 5N. SMRT operates the first one, and SBS transits operate the second one.
- Interstate bus services: This will offer services to their passengers who want to travel from one state to another. One can, but its tickets from the shopping center of Boon Lay.
- Besides this, this precinct is even connected to MRT and areas like Joo Koon, Hong Kah, Nanyang, etc.
There is only three schools in this precinct i.e. Boon Lay Garden( primary school), Secondary school of boon lay and River Valley i.e. high school.
Population of Boon Lay
Taking about the subzone population then it is 31,000, and in the planning areas, it is around 30, and it is increased from the past years.
This neighborhood contains two churches, and there is only one temple here. Besides this, they all are situated at the center of the town. There is also a shopping center here, and HBD managed it.
What boon lay is now a developed precinct plus it is upgraded by the HBD officials time to time. It also has a community center.


FAQs Welcome to the Antioch-Chichibu Sister City Program
Antioch-Chichibu Sister City Organization Logo
Home | Our History | Visiting Japan | Culture | Be a Delegate | Be a Host | FAQs | News
Q: Where is Chichibu (秩父市)?
A: Chichibu City is located in Saitama prefecture (roughly equivalent to a State in the US), on the main island of Japan (see map). Present population of Chichibu city is approximately 69,000. The city was formally "incorporated" in 1950, but Japanese have lived in this area for thousands of years.
Interestingly, like Antioch, there is a river that runs through Chichibu – the Arakawa River - and Mount Buko rises south of the city center. These geographical similarities are part of what initially prompted Chichibu to be proposed for a Sister City in Japan. For more information see this wikipedia link.
Q: How old does a student have to be to visit Japan through this program?
A: The minimum age is 16. Please see information for interested delegates for more information.
Q: Are vaccinations needed to visit Japan?
A: No vaccinations are needed, although making sure you are up-to-date on your regular vaccinations is recommended. More health information can be found online through the CDC Travelers Page.
Q: What is the time difference between Chichibu and Antioch?
A: Chichibu is 17 hours "ahead" of Antioch, that is, at 7:00PM Monday in Antioch, it is Noon Tuesday in Chichibu. Communication between the two cities is convenient from 3:00 PM Antioch time (8:00AM the next day in Chichibu) to 7:00 PM Antioch time (12:Noon the next day in Chichibu).
Q: How difficult will it be to "navigate" in Japan; do many Japanese speak English?
A: Delegates are most often with their host family and/or the delegation who will help them navigate about Japan.
Delegates should also always have the contact information for the group leader on hand in case the need for additional help should arise.
Smart phones with translator aps are very useful, however, due to the radical difference in sentence structure between the Japanese language and English, these aids are often not as easy to use as one would hope.
Many Japanese we meet in our visits speak some English, as English is taught starting in the third grade. Interestingly, their written English is generally superior to their spoken English, as English is often learned from books, with less stress on verbal communication. Sometimes communication between delegates from Chichibu and their hosts in Antioch is easier by writing notes.

Q: How can I get money in Japan?
A: Currencies can be exchanged at either airport. In the visit of 2015, the exchange rate was more favorable at the Narita Airport in Japan.Note that most of the costs to delegates (food, lodging) will be covered by our host families. For personal spending (Ice cream? Souvenirs?) Yen will be needed.
Japan is a cash-based society so you will want to have cash on you at all times.
Once in Japan, you can get cash 3 ways:
 - Use your Visa Delta/Cirrus/Plus (check the back of your card for these logos) debit card to get from a CashPoint/ATM machine. These can be found at the local post office, some 7Elevens, and there are some Citibank ATMs as well. There is usually an English option on the menu once you enter your card. Make sure to notify your bank that you will be withdrawing money from Japan, or they may freeze your card.
 - Use Travelers Checks and exchange at the airport or at the local bank counter.
 - Exchange cash at a JUSCO store (big grocery and department store). They often have money exchange machines (dollars to yet) on the first floor.
Most large businesses and restaurants will accept credit cards, but you will use cash for smaller businesses
Keep in mind that any time you exchange dollars for Yen, you are selling your dollars and buying Yen, and there will be handling fee for this service (often 3% of your purchase or withdrawal) in addition to the exchange rate, which is "bundled" into the nominal exchange rate. This bundled fee results in the difference between the nominal rate of yen per dollar and dollars per yen. You can view the current exchange rate online through Google or Xe.com and your credit card and bank will let you know their additional service charges
Here is a link to interesting information regarding costs in Japan.

Q: Will my cell phone work in Japan?
Example: AT&T Pay-per-Use
 - Without international package: $2.50/min
 - With international package: $1.69/min + $5.99/month
A: Maybe. Most newer smart phones will work in Japan on international roaming. Check with your cell provider for rates and prices.
Renting an international sim card before you depart will allow you to use your phone in Japan. There are several options online for this, including PicCell Wireless. However, for trips less than 2 weeks, International roaming and calling cards may suffice. You can use a calling card bought in the U.S. or buy one in Japan. Often you can find calling cards at the airport or at 7-Eleven in Japan.
Example: Mobil 1
 - Using WiFi: free text, calls to the US, internet surfing.
 - Using WiFi: calls to non-US numbers, including Japanese numbers: $0.20 per minute.
 - Non-WiFi calls to the US: $0.20 per minute
International Data roaming plans are for a very small amount of data, and you can rack up VERY large bills quickly if you use it too much. It is recommended that you ONLY use data when connected to WiFi; you can disable data in your phone settings. It does not cost anything to connect to WiFi and you can do that from any hotspot.
3G service is standard in Chichibu.
Texting will likely be at no charge.
"Being Smart About Phone Fees Overseas" NY Times
Q: How do I call to Japan from the U.S.
A: The Country Code for Japan 81. From most phones, dial 011+81+phone number.
For example, the City of Chichibu phone number is 0494-22-2211. From the U.S., you would dial: 011+81+274+494-22-2211. As you see, you drop the "0" from the number given in Japan. When calling a Japanese number from inside Japan, you would use that "0." Toll-free numbers in Japan begin with 0120 or 0088. See _URL_ for more information.
How do I call to the U.S. from Japan?
A: The international access number when calling from Japan is 010; and the US code is 1.
From most phones, dial 010+1+area code+phone number.
For example, the City of Antioch phone number is _PHONE_. If you are using a Japanese-based calling card in Japan, you would dial: 010+1+_PHONE_. See _URL_ for more information.

Is this plan going to affect the Township's schools?
The vision plan will not have a direct impact on schools. School officials have been part of this process to determine any concerns or needs of the district. In particular, Middle School, High School and Washington School officials have all been directly interviewed by Perkins Eastman, because of their proximity to and student usage of the downtown. If there are any recommendations for development, residential or commercial, the Township will carefully weigh any potential impact on the school system.
Show All Answers
1. How is this vision planning exercise different from others Millburn Township has done in the past? What's the plan for implementing the plan?
2. With so many vacancies, why aren't we focusing on the 500 block, "Upper Millburn Ave" in the Vision Plan?
3. Is this plan going to affect the Township's schools?
4. How is the Township going to pay for any of the recommendations that come from the Downtown Area Vision Plan?
5. In the event of construction, how are disruptions going to be mitigated?
6. How is this different from the 2018 Master Plan that also had a public survey and meetings?
7. We have no "Senior Housing" in Millburn Township. Will the vision plan address this need?

Gibbons on helium sing like sopranos
White handed gibbon
Singing is particularly important to gibbons, which use loud calls and songs to communicate across the dense jungle.(Source: plinney/iStockphoto)
Jungle divas Gibbons use the same technique to project their songs as top opera singers.
It is a skill only mastered by a few humans, yet gibbons are able to do it with minimal effort, says Takeshi Nishimura from the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University.
"Our data indicate that acoustic and physiological mechanisms used in gibbon singing are analogous to human soprano singing, a professional operatic technique," Nishimura and colleagues write in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
Fine tuning
Making gibbons sing on helium may sound eccentric, but Nishimura said it was a logical way to test how the animals controlled vocalisation when the resonance frequencies in the vocal tract are shifted upwards.
His team used a captive white-handed gibbon to record 20 calls in normal air and 37 calls in a helium-enriched atmosphere to show how the animals could consciously manipulate their vocal cords and tract (listen to the audio in the box above to hear their calls).
They worked out the gibbon's vocal tract had been adjusted by analysing the sounds it produced.

Stationary decoder
In order to switch some light circuits utilizing an old loco decoder I took an old Märklin 6080 decoder and mounted it on a small board that can be plugged into the digital signal and have two independent light circuits plugged into it.
To each output I added a diode to ensure that stray current could not go the wrong way and also a 100µF capacitor to smooth the current out.
I Initially tied both motor outputs together and both function outputs together so that no matter what direction the decoder is in, the outputs will work. However, if the decoder is set to go forward the blue (motor reverse) wire still gets some pulsed output, and if set to go in reverse, the green (motor forward) wire also gets some pulsed output. Since the motor outputs are never off, the capacitor had the effect of maintaining power no matter what direction and speed was set, even at speed step zero! I therefore decided to dedicate this decoder module to reverse-only output. This entailed cutting the gray and green wires. The picture above was taken before that cut.
This means that by default, when the layout is powered up, neither output will be on. This suites me fine for what I intend driving with this decoder.
The motor output produces 17V no matter what speed step is used. (The capacitor effectively removes the pulse modulation. Under load I may see flicker at low speed steps.)
The function output produces 12.3 Volts.
I can now solder lighting circuits onto the gray plugs, each with the appropriate resistor for the LEDs in the circuit and the supply voltage. I just have to pay attention to the polarity since the plugs I had are not polarized and will allow incorrect insertion.
I have already prepared my software for driving any events using a loco decoder and this is what my event definition screen looks like for this decoder:
It will leave the function alone, setting a high speed-step, backwards. After 20 seconds my thunder sound effects will be played.
To switch the function output I define another event as follows
This will switch the function on and leave the speed alone.
Similar events can be defined to switch the outputs off.

Two Single-Phase And One Sum of Phases
See MS-18-WNB-Pulse-Option-2N1.pdf for a detailed explanation.
Option 2N1 specifies two single-phase outputs and one sum-of-phases output. Specifically, the pulse output channels P1, P2, and P3 report the following:
- P1 – Phase A positive real energy
- P2 – Phase B positive real energy
- P3 – Positive real energy (sum of all phases: A, B, and C)
The primary application for this model is in cases where you might be monitoring two single-phase branch circuits or one multi-phase (two or three) circuit, but you aren't sure of the mixture of single-phase to multi-phase circuits and don't want to have to pre-order some regular Pulse WattNode models and some with Option P3. With Option 2N1, one WattNode Pulse model can be used for monitoring either two single-phase circuits or one multi-phase circuit, simplifying ordering, stocking, and installation.
As with other Pulse WattNode models and options, each monitoring phase can be connected to the same or different mains phases. For example, you might connect phase A to L1 and phase B to L2. Or, you might connect phase A, B, and C to L1 to monitor three different branches all powered from L1. The only requirement is that all three phases have the same nominal line-to-neutral voltage and that you make sure to match the current transformer (CT) monitored phases to the mains phases (i.e. don't connect phase A to L1, but then put the CT around an L2 conductor or vice versa).
This option is intended for use with wye models of the WattNode meter (those containing "-3Y" in the model number).

The San Pedro River emerges from just south of Sierra Vista, AZ and flows north for approximately 150 miles where it meets the Gila River. The only river left undammed in the Southwest, it is a major conservation corridor and home to hundreds of species of native and migratory birds and many diverse kinds of wildlife such as beaver and coati. Following are stories of life along this river and the effort to save it. Some of these articles are courtesy of the Friends of the San Pedro River. Please consider joining the conservation effort. If Birdwatching is your interest, please visit our 10 Best Birding Hotspots in Southern Arizona!
In addition to birdwatching, there are several places within the SPRNCA worth visiting. Fairbank is a ghost town on the San Pedro River about 10 miles west of Tombstone.The Murray Springs Clovis Site is where Paleo-Indians camped while hunting large mammals. Not far is a Mammoth-Kill site where these Stone Age people killed and butchered, not only mammoths, but also camels, tapirs, bison, and bear. This they excelled at despite themselves being hunted by such monsters as Sabre-Tooth Tigers.

Electrostatics of polymer translocation events in electrolyte solutions
journal contributionposted on 19.01.2018, 14:10 authored by Sahin Buyukdagli, Tapio Ala-NissilaTapio Ala-Nissila
© 2016 Author(s).We develop an analytical theory that accounts for the image and surface charge interactions between a charged dielectric membrane and a DNA molecule translocating through the membrane. Translocation events through neutral carbon-based membranes are driven by a competition between the repulsive DNA-image-charge interactions and the attractive coupling between the DNA segments on the trans and the cis sides of the membrane. The latter effect is induced by the reduction of the coupling by the dielectric membrane. In strong salt solutions where the repulsive image-charge effects dominate the attractive trans-cis coupling, the DNA molecule encounters a translocation barrier of ∼10 kBT. In dilute electrolytes, the trans-cis coupling takes over image-charge forces and the membrane becomes a metastable attraction point that can trap translocating polymers over long time intervals. This mechanism can be used in translocation experiments in order to control DNA motion by tuning the salt concentration of the solution.

As a record of pupil achievements
at KS2 Passport provides tangible
information to KS3 teachers to build
upon that success. A choice of investigations
and structured follow-up helps you
plan the elusive smoother transition.
Many primary and secondary schools
currently organise transition events
for pupils. Passport offers
a standard framework to make this
process easier for teachers.
Passport could also be used
as a stand alone activity in Year
6, to help pupils focus on their investigative
skills. Trial schools have found this
useful for post-SATs resources.
Passport is presented as a
colour or black and white pdf file
to print out which pupils write on.
pdf file contains an A5 twelve page
pupil booklet. The six pages should
be printed back to back.
additional sheet of visa stamps
can be printed onto sticky labels
or cut and pasted by pupils into
Page 1 - Cover
A designed cover for pupils.
Page 2 - Personal details
Name, school, class
Page 3 - Personal data
A record of personal features e.g.
height and eye colour in Year 6 and
Year 7. This gives an opportunity
to introduce variation in QCA Unit
7D, as some features change whilst
others remain the same.
A section on Good health. Pupils record
their vaccinations as they would in
a normal passport. This could be linked
to work on micro-organisms.
Page 4 - About yourself
Pupils think about the relevance
of science to their everyday lives.
When first asked to name a scientist
in their family many pupils will find
it difficult to give an answer. Pupils
think about different jobs that friends
and family do and begin to appreciate
where the science fits in.
Page 5 - My scientific skills
You choose your own criteria for
awarding 'Visas' to pupils as rewards
Practical visas. Pupils record their
skills so they can see their progression
through KS2 and 3. They learn to use
different equipment with a higher
degree of accuracy.
Page 6 - Apparatus visa
Pupils tick off pieces of apparatus
as they become competent with them.
Some can to be completed in Year 7
to show pupils their progression.
Page 7 - Vocabulary visa
Pupils keep a record of scientific
terms during Year 6 to take into Year
Pages 8-11 - Investigations visa
A choice of three investigations
to begin at KS2 and complete at KS3.
These pages are left blank for pupils
to record their investigations.
Page 12 - Where you have been
Pupils record web sites they use
for research during Year 6. They record
science visits with an official stamp
from the science centre.
The three investigation topics have
been chosen for their clear continuity
in content between the two key stages.
The Year 6 activities dovetail easily
with Year 7 units that can be covered
in September, and alternative activities
have been produced for children who
have not completed Passport
in Year 6. Choose from:
Looking at habitats and adaptations.
This activity is fun for the summer
term. The amount of fieldwork required
is flexible and options for different
habitats mean that school geography
is not a barrier. Communication, group
work and literacy are highlighted
at different points in the activity.
Uses easily resourced and much-loved
jelly dissolving to build investigative
practical skills, including predictions,
analysis and evaluation.
Focusing on their faces, pupils collect
variation data that draws them into
the world of the Ancient Greek 'Golden
ratio'. Numeracy is highlighted by
pupils calculating simple ratios.
Many primary schools trialled Passport
last term with some using their own
different investigations. We are eager
for feedback as to whether you would
find a generic writing frame useful
for the investigations. If so, what
sort of sections should be included?

Lincoln Heights: What Happened to the Black Wall Street of Cincinnati?
By Jordann Sadler '18, Perspectives Section Editor
The Village of Lincoln Heights, which for most of its history has been majority black and today is still 95% African-American, went from being the "first African American self-governing community north of the Mason-Dixon line" to becoming a deprecating 'hood'. Lincoln Heights was founded in the 1920s as a suburb for Black homeowners. In 1946, it was incorporated as a village. Before the 1970s, Lincoln Height's population was around 6,000. The town's population rapidly decreased. For the past seven years, Lincoln Height's population has been relatively constant at 3,000 people, only fluctuating slightly. So, what happened to this once self-sustainable village? Red-lining. Not only is the African-American community suffering, but the poor, white community of Lockland also under the same pressure.
Just south of Lincoln Heights is the Village of Lockland. The village is 64% White and 29% African-American. During their prime and prosperous times, Lockland and Lincoln Heights were in competition with each other. Lockland, plotted in 1828 by Nicholas Longworth and Lewis Howell, thrived as it was located on the Miami-Erie Canal. The Canal was replaced during the I-75 highway construction in 1940. As a result, both Lockland and Lincoln Heights went into a state of disarray. Go on Mangham Dr. and you can see GE's Christmas lights from Taco Bell and Wendy's.
West of Lockland is Wyoming: a considerably nicer, more-organized town. Going down Wyoming Ave and passing the Wyoming Fine Arts center are a set of train tracks separating Lockland from Wyoming. The first thing you see when you cross the train tracks from Wyoming is an abandoned gas station to your right and a small fountain to your left. Farther along the road, there are abandoned buildings (which still have signs of a deserted businesses), a weave and hair shop, a bar, and a small African market/convenient store similar to a 7/11.
Cross the train tracks leaving Lockland you see a sign reading 'Wyoming', small cafés, a florist, and other community businesses. As I said before, the Wyoming Fine Arts center is also near these tracks.
Wyoming has a non-white population of 12.7%. Taken from the Wyoming, Ohio website, the Median Home Value in Wyoming is about $280,000 with the median family income being $108,000. Meanwhile, the Median Household income in Lincoln Heights is around $25,500. The relatively expensive costs of Wyoming housing make it impossible for families in both Lockland and Lincoln Heights to afford nicer living spaces. Why are its neighbors struggling? And why aren't there measures to help the neighboring places? The red-lining is not only in housing, culture, and location, but in education too.
According to the 2000 Census, 96.6% of the Wyoming population are high school graduates or higher, 68% have a bachelor degree or higher. Also, according to the 2000 Census, 82.9% of the Lincoln Heights population are high school graduates or higher. Many did not go farther than an associate's degree, as only 5.6% have a bachelor degree or higher. Lincoln Heights does not have its own high school—Princeton is the next middle school and high school. Evendale, Glendale, Heritage Hill, Sharonville, Springdale, Stewart, Woodlawn, Lincoln Heights—these places/villages have neither a middle nor a high school. All the students go to Princeton. Wyoming has an elementary school, a middle school and, of course, a high school. Lockland, having a better opportunity, also has PreK-12 schools, but they are not up to par with the nationally ranked Wyoming schools.
Want to go to Wyoming High School, ranked #2 public school in Ohio behind Walnut Hills and ahead of Indian Hill High School? Want to go a ranked #95 high school in the nation? "To be eligible for enrollment, you must reside within the school district boundaries and demonstrate proof of residence as outlined in the online registration process." Almost all public high schools today require proof of residency. Only a small handful of public high schools in Ohio have Open Enrollment. All this does is restrict students from reaching their full potential. A student who is accelerating in Lockland High School who wants to go to a better, more rigorous school such as Wyoming must either move (which is nearly impossible, due to the vast difference in home costs) or suffer through a school that does not cater to their needs. The cycle of neglect results in a population of students who mature into this world with a lack of education, leadership, encouragement, determination, progress and academic knowledge. Students in these situations must work ten times as hard to achieve their dreams. This destitution can lead to them making bad choices: drugs, dropping out, criminal activity. Stereotypes and racial profiling are created this way. It is the biggest burden to put on the African-American youth (and students of color in general), who already have a foot in the grave for having a different skin color. Now a whole generation, a whole culture must catch up before trying to further develop itself. The sadder underlying theme of this whole situation, is that these poor communities did have the ambition, the knowledge, and the leadership until taken away by higher forces.
Our black wall street was taken away from us. Disregarding whether one supports a black-owned community or not, it is still sickening to see the deprived state of Lincoln Heights today compared to what it used to be. Although, Lincoln Heights wasn't burned to the ground like Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, red-lining and racial separation certainly devastated what was once a prosperous community.

What is Twice a Stranger?
'Twice a Stranger' is a cross media project about the greatest forced migrations of the 20th century, when millions of people were uprooted and moved to new homelands.
Based on oral video testimonies, rare film archives and photos this project brings visitors face-to-face with the survivors of these traumatic events. From the Greek-Turkish exchange in 1922-24, 'Twice a Stranger' travels to the German-Polish forced migration at the end of WW II, to the Partition of India, and to the Cyprus crisis' in the 1960's and 70's.
'Twice a Stranger' is distributed online and via a multi-media exhibition, hosted at the Benaki Museum in Athens, the Leventis Municipal Museum in Nicosia and the Istanbul Bilgi University.
The project is accompanied by educational programmes, storytelling sessions, documentary screenings, a children's book, culinary nights, music events, community and outreach events.
See our CALENDAR for a detailed list of scheduled events.
"Twice a Stranger" is funded with the support of the European Commission (Culture Programme). It is created by Anemon, co-organised by the University of Oxford (Refugee Studies Centre), the Benaki Museum, the Leventis Municipal Museum, the Istanbul Bilgi University and Tolle Idee!, in partnership with ERT, the A.G.Leventis Foundation, the Goethe-Institut, the British Council, the Megaron Athens Concert Hall, the Greek Council for Refugees and the Centre for Asia Minor Studies.

Maximum Likelihood Imaging for Sensor ArraysPP
We propose the Sieved Maximum Likelihood (SiML) method for imaging purposes in array signal processing. It uses a general functional data model, allowing for an unrestricted number of arbitrarily-shaped sources. As the likelihood problem elicits many solutions, we restrict the search space dimension using an information criterion. Asymptotic confidence intervals are derived. We show that SiML is computationally very efficient, and results in much better accuracy than the traditional spectral-based methods.

Demonstrating Touch & Magnet Based Interactions with a Photo Browser (Piknik)
Abstract
This paper presents an alternative method of interacting with mobile devices. Most modern phones contain magnetometers that output the strength of the surrounding magnetic field in the x, y, and z direction. If a magnet is brought closer to the device (and the magnetometer), the values from the magnetometer will be altered. By determining the change in the altered magnetic field, we can determine the position of the magnet. With the position, we can determine the location of the magnet relative to the screen and detect gestures above the screen in 3D space. We will be building a photo browser & drawing application that will contain implementation for magnet based interactions. Users can flip through, select, and annotate/draw on photos using external magnets.

Introduction
A mobile device has a multitude of sensors ranging from GPS to a barometer. One sensor that is used daily is the capacitive sensor. Capacitive sensors detect anything that is conductive and they are used for touch input in mobile phones. We rely tremendously on touch input to interact with our devices ranging from playing games to checking notifications. However, touch input on mobile devices have its own sets of problems. We are unable to easily interact with our phone due to phones being too large, and not large enough thus limiting user interactions.
Is there a way to provide another method of interaction with your mobile device that expands the capabilities of touch? Another sensor that can be used for alternative methods of interaction is a magnetometer. The magnetometer senses changes in the magnetic field in all three axes (x,y,z) (Ketabdar 2011). If the magnetic field can be detected, would there be a way to alter the magnetic field? This can be accomplished by using an external magnet. The external magnet will alter the magnetic field thus producing different (x,y,z) values.
This new user interaction requires the use of a magnet attached or placed on a finger or embedded in a ring. The use of a magnet and a magnet sensor will increase the area of user interaction around and above the phone. Gestures and taps in 2D and 3D space can be recognized and attached to certain actions. This would allow interaction with a mobile device without physical contact with that device. For example, interacting with your phone while its in your pocket or purse. These are just a few use possibilities of interacting with your phone by using a magnet.
Using the magnet based interactions described above, we will be building a photo browser + drawing application that will allow you to flip through, select, and annotation/draw on photos using magnets and touch. Magnets also can be embedded on physical objects, such as styluses (which will represent paintbrushes). This will allow the user to have a more natural interaction with the app (Ali Mazalek).
