These individuals tend to emerge because they are well-liked and masters in the art of office politics. However, decades of data and research prove that people with these characteristics are extremely ineffective leaders, and… Read more »
Conventional wisdom suggests that the most charismatic leaders are also the best leaders. Charismatic leaders have, for instance, the ability to inspire others toward higher levels of performance and to instill deep levels of commitment, trust, and satisfaction. As a result, they are generally perceived by their subordinates to be more effective, compared with less charismatic leaders. But our research shows that… Read more »
When it comes to who we want to work for, everyone thinks they want the same thing: a charismatic leader whose engaging personality and sweeping oratory inspires his or her followers to greatness, like every coach in every sports movie ever made, ever. Including this one by Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday. | 54psychology

The aging reservoir and pump station are critical water storage and supply facilities for the area. Both facilities need replacement to enhance seismic resilience, protect water quality, increase storage volume, and maintain a high level of reliability for drinking water and fire protection to the neighborhood and surrounding area.
The graphic below shows the proposed reservoir and pump station building layout that will replace the aging and undersized facilities. This project is part of Utilities' rehabilitation and replacement program, established to maintain the area’s water service infrastructure.
Please refer to the preliminary schedule below for a snapshot of what to expect over the next few years. The City will provide further communication about project status and anticipated impacts at later stages. | 29hydraulic_engineering

California-based electric carmaker Fisker's Ocean SUV has achieved 707km on the official WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) test in its range-topping Extreme specification. That 707 kilometres will be the highest range offered by any electric SUV when it goes on sale later this year, putting the Ocean far ahead of its rival electric SUVs such as the Tesla Model X (565km range) and the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV (587km range).
- Fisker Ocean EV SUV gets a 17.1inch touchscreen
- Available in three trim options
- Battery specifications not revealed
Fisker Ocean trims and power
Three trim levels will be available for the Fisker Ocean, which rivals the Audi Q4 E-tron. Sport brings a 271hp motor on the front axle for a 0-96.5kph time of 6.6sec, while Ultra gets a motor on each axle, boosting output to 533hp and cutting the sprint time to 3.9sec. Extreme brings 542hp and a 3.6sec 0-96.5kph time.
The Sport gets a ‘touring’ battery pack capable of 443km. Key features include a 17.1-inch touchscreen, a ‘big sky’ roof, an electric tailgate, cruise control and automatic headlights. The mid-range Ultra specification is fitted with a ‘hyper range’ battery, which ups the range to 628km. An open-sky roof, automatic emergency braking, remote vehicle finder, ‘doggie windows’ and a California mode are touted as standard features.
Extreme trim includes smart traction for improved stability in rough weather, a 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, lane-changing assistance and a rotating central infotainment screen.
Fisker Ocean battery
Fisker hasn’t publicly detailed battery specifications for the Ocean yet, but entry-level models feature a smaller battery pack giving up to 443km of range. They have also claimed that it's still testing the model’s charging speeds.
Alternatively, drivers can choose the limited-run One spec, based on the Extreme, but the model will be limited to the first 5,000 units produced. The standard kit includes 22-inch wheels and a commemorative signature.
Top models also gain solar panels on the roof to provide more power in sunny conditions. Fisker says the roof is able to produce up to 2,414km of range per year.
Fisker in India
There is no statement on the launch of any Fisker vehicle in India yet. However, last year, Fisker opened its India headquarters in Hyderabad, Telangana with the branch of the company named Fisker Vigyan India Pvt Ltd. The India branch, in tandem with the company’s California headquarters, focuses on engineering and product development, software development, embedded electronics, virtual vehicle development, data analytics and machine learning.

The Netatmo, Well known, consists of two sleek aluminum monitors you could display on your counter tops. And not only does this seem fine, but it’s stacked with features that are advanced.
The indoor monitor has a CO2 detector to measure quality of air. And considering we spend roughly 80 per cent of our own lives inside, it’s crucial to understand our air will be and make alterations that are necessary. Netatmo additionally monitors data such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and sound, all which are visualized graphically in the mobile app. Our favourite part? The Netatmo supports Amazon Alexa, so you can ask for local weather forecasts without having caught in a rain storm without an umbrella.

Tomorrow a portion of my heart will be replaced by that of a different species. I'm not afraid of the surgery. My reluctance to proceed has a deeper source.
I am an environmental biologist and ecologist - a very good one. I have an extraordinarily intuitive and intimate understanding of the natural world. Years of travel and living knee-deep in nature at our off-grid cabin in the woods, sans mortgage and watch – taught me more about deep ecology than all these years in academia.
Ecology is more than my specialty, and certainly more than my profession. Simply, I love nature's dance of imperfect perfection. I know its rhythm better than my own heartbeat. This is why every experience of purposeful destruction is like the desecration of my religion. Or more graphically, like a punch in the gut. Through deep ecology, I can make sense of the world, I can predict the future, or better yet, predict its unpredictability. When I bother to slow down, I marvel at it's complexity and I realize that it is the source of all of the greatest beauty I have ever witnessed.
So tomorrow I will contradict all of this in the most personal way. My heart suffers from a congenital defect, another simple perfect imperfection.
Ecologically, this means I should be culled from the population.
In a very general way, the society that will probably extend my life is the one that I battle against every day. It will be like sleeping with the enemy. Knowing all this gives me near-paralyzing sadness.
In sum, to undergo the surgery that will patch my heart - and for only a few years - is a true defeat. It is counter to all that I believe.
It is no matter that the doctors say I have the coronary arteries of a ten year old and the cardiovascular system of an athlete (oh, except for that one little bit that is killing me). It is no matter that I ran my last trail marathon just a few months ago at 7000 feet, and that my diet looks like an advertisement for Whole Foods. The doc says I will be running a marathon within a year, in addition to all sorts of other outdoorsy stuff. Even if that is true, and even if some of it is truly noteworthy, it all -for me- will be followed by a little qualifier. I will be a person living his beliefs, but with a footnote. Life with an asterisk.
Forget choices. I will have the surgery. I am swept along by the sum of all the decisions I have ever made, as well as the decisions and actions of those around me. It is equivalent to being stuck in six lanes of rush hour traffic while your immediate exit is five lanes over. The shift would cause extraordinary wreckage.
I will buck up and deal with this for who-knows-how-long. And you can believe I will push it, because after all, now it is just life*. I will post the journey here, from invalid to marathon trail runner, even if it's only for nostalgia. Because today feels like the last day of my life. | 50philosophy

by Staff Writers
Moscow (Sputnik) Mar 26, 2020
Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos said on Thursday that it sees no need to delay the return of the International Space Station (ISS) crew to Earth due to the coronavirus pandemic and the closure of borders between Russia and Kazakhstan.
"Roscosmos does not think that it makes sense to delay the return to Earth of the ISS-62 long-duration mission crew. Yes, there are some restrictions from the Kazakh side, caused by the quarantine measures. But Roscosmos is cooperating with colleagues and looking into options for solving the problem," Roscosmos said.
The ISS crew is expected to return to Earth on 17 April. Russian experts and equipment should be brought to the landing area to meet them.
The ISS crew currently comprises Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka and US astronauts Andrew Morgan and Jessica Meir.
On 9 April, Russian cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, and US astronaut Christopher Cassidy are expected to replace them.

How Space Station research is helping NASA's plans to explore the Moon and Beyond

Almost 20 years of human habitation aboard the International Space Station and a growing body of research conducted there are contributing important insights into how to meet these needs for ... read more

Finite Element Method is utilised for the solution technique mainly using thermal and surface effect elements. Numerical results obtained from the current approach are compared against other existing finite element based solutions and newly introduced peridynamics theory. For numerical analysis, reflow soldering stage is simulated for a multi-material system having time dependent saturated moisture concentrations. Different solubility activation energies and temperature conditions are considered. Numerical results demonstrate that the developed methodology can make accurate predictions under different conditions and it is much general than some other existing models which are limited to certain conditions.

The Butterfly Dream
“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”
The Importance of Dreams
Dreams are a fascinating and important aspect of our lives. They offer unique insights into our thoughts and emotions, and provide a safe space for our imagination to thrive.

A dream is never just a dream
A symbol is a vital element in dream interpretation, serving as a critical bridge that connects different aspects of the dream. It represents a connection between a past memory and a current life event, revealing the interplay and overlap between the past and present.
The emotional impact of a symbol is significant and can color the interpretation of the dream. As a symbol is associated with a past experience, it has the potential to evoke emotions and feelings that can deeply influence the message conveyed by the dream. The impact of a symbol on your emotions is due to the direct link between the symbol and your emotional state.
Furthermore, a symbol is also linked to your memory, providing a gateway to your unconscious mind, which contains forgotten experiences, desires, goals, and suppressed traumas. This connection between the symbol and your unconscious mind can uncover a wealth of emotions, feelings, and discoveries about yourself and your past. It can be an enlightening experience to interpret the symbol and understand how the past has shaped your present.
By recognizing the connection between the past and present, you can gain greater insight into the underlying factors that influence your decisions and emotions. This awareness can be liberating, allowing you to choose your future path with greater clarity and purpose. By exploring the meaning behind the dream symbol, you can unearth valuable insights that can help you understand yourself and your past more deeply, and move forward with confidence in the present and the future.
"To what in me or in my life does the dream refer? "
"Learn the meaning of your dreams and understand your vision for the future"
"As one of the main functions of dreaming, dreams can help you make decisions, clarify questions, and resolve daily challenges."
“Dreams are a reservoir of knowledge and experience, yet they are often overlooked as a vehicle for exploring reality.”
Dream Encyclopedia, it brings profound insights to thousands of dream messages. It shows what to look for and what to ignore and teaches how to master dream interpretation.
What is the dream?
Dreams are a fascinating and unique experience that occur during sleep. They are characterized by vivid and often surreal imagery, as well as a range of emotions and thoughts. Although some may consider dreams to be just a random jumble of thoughts and images, science has shown that they are much more complex than that. In fact, dreams are often influenced by a person's experiences, desires, and subconscious mind, and may sometimes reflect their deepest fears, hopes, and wishes.
One theory suggests that the purpose of dreaming is to help us process and consolidate memories. This means that while we sleep, our brain is working hard to sort through all the information we have taken in during the day, deciding what to keep and what to discard. This helps us to better retain important information and let go of the things that are not as important.
Another theory is that dreaming helps facilitate learning and problem-solving. Studies have shown that people who remember their dreams more often are often better at learning new information and solving complex problems. This could be because dreaming allows us to practice and explore different scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.
However, dreaming is not only about practical functions. Some research suggests that it may also play a role in creativity and self-awareness. This is because dreams often allow us to explore different ideas and perspectives that we may not have considered while awake. By doing so, we can expand our horizons and come up with new and innovative ideas.
Overall, dreaming is a captivating topic that continues to intrigue people around the world. Whether you are seeking to understand your own dreams or simply want to learn more about the world of dream interpretation, there is always more to explore and discover. So the next time you drift off to sleep, take a moment to appreciate the amazing and complex world of your dreams.
‘If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.’
"Sleep is the balm for hurt minds, nature’s great second course."

Kifaru House is perhaps the loveliest of the much-revered Lewa Conservancy’s many gems. At the cutting edge of conservation and sustainability, the Conservancy is famed for its rigorously protected white and black rhinos, along with its full repertoire of free-ranging African beasts. Serene and private, Kifaru House’s thatched cottages, each a safari villa of its own, are splendid, intimate, and classically scenic places (glorious Mount Kenya rises just to the south) for a quintessential African experience.
Kifaru’s five thatched-roof cottages reflect Lewa’s tradition of understated, warmly comfortable luxury. One of the cottages has two bedrooms, making it ideal for families, and all include the most modern of amenities, not to mention four-poster king-sized beds, two-washbasined bathrooms, a lovely sitting area, a spacious tiled lanai, and those glorious, ever-changing views of Kenya’s eponymous mountain.
Dining and sitting rooms, a well-curated bar, two large fireplaces, and inviting, contemplation-inspiring nooks make up the main house, and a large library—reflecting the founding Craig family’s deep engagement with East Africa—is nearby, along with a heated infinity pool with sitting and dining areas and a massage room with shower facilities.
We come to Kifaru for its superb game viewing, of course. Game drives led by our Micato Safari Director take us down from the House’s hilltop, into a wonderful medley of landscapes: highland forests, spring-fed copses, classic acacia-dotted grasslands. The air is lively with 440 bird species, all the Big Five are in residence, elegantly designed zebras flow on the landscape, and Lewa’s rhinos roam dinosaurically.
Activities at Kifaru House aren’t limited to classic game drives, of course. Well-guided evening horsebacking is a lovely way to appreciate Lewa’s landscapes and animals, as are Maasai-led camel treks in the rolling hills (a sight you’ll never forget: a stoic camel calmly chomping down on knife-sharp thorns, as if the spiky bush were a parfait). And a Canopy Walk in the Ngare Ndare Forest Conservancy—followed by a grandly arranged picnic—gives us an eye-level view of a very African montane forest, with monkeys and dozens of bird species untroubled by our presence.
The Lewa Conservancy wouldn’t exist without the enthusiastic engagement of the local Maasai people, who benefit from the conservancy’s Community Development Programme, which offers healthcare, micro-financing, water projects, and supports a number of local schools. Micato guests enjoy school visits, and some have spent part of their safari time volunteering at one of the conservancy’s programmes—a great way to expand and enrich the safari experience. | 64travel

You can enjoy the low maintenance benefits because there’s no wax, epoxy, acrylic, or any other shiny coverings applied that will eventually fail. Polished concrete floors provide higher levels of co-efficient friction than any other coating on the market.
Wet or dry polished concrete floors can meet OHSA standards. So if you’re tired of stripping and waxing floors, a polished concrete floor might be the way to go over a decorative epoxy flake floor system.
Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete is a mechanical grinding & polishing process that utilizes industrial diamonds to grind the concrete surface down. From there hardeners and sealers are used to level, densify, polish and seal the concrete floor from within the interior of the floor’s concrete surface.
In heavy industrial, commercial or institutional use, an inexpensive re-polish may be needed years down the road, depending on your maintenance. There are many ways for concrete floors to break as they age: rain damage, surface stress, delamination, improper curing, curled cold joints, joint shoulder failure and several more.
The dry concrete polishing process actually removes the top part of the surface of the old concrete floor (including any patchy, partial, or whole coatings) and hardens the exposed concrete surface beneath. Old, deteriorating, or weak concrete is strengthened and its impact and abrasion resistance is increased.
Polished Concrete Flooring Pictures
Polished concrete works great as a flooring solution in warehouse and industrial facilities while cost-effective and abrasion resistance.
Benefits of Polished Cement Floors
The versatility of Concrete Polished Floors make it so that business owners can choose from different levels of sheen from stain to high-gloss. This makes for better maintenance control and aesthetic requirements. Benefits of commercial and retail polished floors include:
- Cost savings using existing floor surface
- Resistance to high foot traffic
- Easy to clean (no more messy waxes and coatings)
- Resistant to moisture transmission issues
- Increased light reflectivity, this helps project a better professional image.
- Environmentally friendly, no hazardous coatings or adhesives required.

What Are The Benefits of Polished Concrete?
When a forklift burns out on a coated floor the friction caused between its tire and the concrete surface leaves a mark. This does not occur on a polished concrete floor because there are no resins to burn on the concrete’s surface.

https://www.electronicdesign.com/components/breakthrough-technology-creates-mems-inside-standard-cmos-wafer | 2019-07-19T15:27:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526254.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719140355-20190719162355-00458.warc.gz | 0.943837 | 527 | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-30__0__70942985 | en | An entirely new technology that is expected to drastically cut the costs of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) has been pioneered by Spanish company, Baolab Systems. Key to this breakthrough technology is the way in which the company can construct nanoscale MEMS within the actual structure of a CMOS wafer using standard, high volume CMOS lines, which is both a rapid and easily controlled process.
Using a standard CMOS line is where the big product costs savings are made and the company is predicting that the savings could be as high as 65% over traditional MEMS manufacturing methods.
The Baolab NanoEMS technology uses the existing metal layers in a CMOS wafer to form the MEMS structure via standard mask techniques. The Inter Metal Dielectric (IMD) is then etched away through the pad openings in the passivation layer using vHF (vapour HF). The etching uses equipment that is already available for volume production and takes less than an hour, which the company says is insignificant compared to the overall production time. The holes are then sealed and the chip packaged as required. As standard CMOS processes are used, NanoEMS MEMS can be directly integrated with active circuitry to suit specific applications.
Baolab has successfully created these MEMS devices using standard 0.18µm 8in. volume CMOS wafers with four or more metal layers, and has achieved minimum feature sizes down to 200nm. This is an order of magnitude smaller than is currently possible with conventional MEMS devices, bringing the new NanoEMS MEMS into the realm of nanostructures, with the subsequent benefits of smaller sizes, lower power consumption and faster devices.
Baolab plans to make a range of discrete MEMS including RF switches, electronic compasses and accelerometers, along with solutions that combine several functions on one chip. The prototype stage has already demonstrated that NanoEMS technology and evaluation samples will be available later this year. These are aimed at handset designers and manufacturers and power amplifier and RF front-end module markets.
In mobile phone applications, NanoEMSTM have multiple uses, from higher performance, lower cost replacements for GaAs FETs for RF switching applications, to enabling tunable active RF components such as power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers. This tunable capability is expected to change the RF section of mobile devices by significantly reducing the number of components needed in a mobile phone. NanoEMSTM are also being developed for sensors in the mobile phone, such as electronic compasses, accelerometers, and several other functions in a single chip. | 38mechanical_engineering

Here’s a look at how the live TV ratings looked for Batwoman, CSI: Vegas, and more.
The only show that didn’t air a new episode last night was The Conners on ABC. It’s not 100% clear why that was the case, but it could be linked to some big episodes recently, including the live episode and Dan’s wedding.
The rerun may have caused problems for episodes that ran after it. Home Economics fell by 21% in both the demo and audience. There wasn’t an episode of A Million Little Things, but ABC opted for a new episode of Superstar. The demo was up 7% from the last new episode in September, but the audience was down 8%.
It’s clear that Superstar is more of a filler show and nothing to be overly concerned about. Home Economics‘s drop is concerning.
The Wonder Years did drop 25% in the demo and 26% in the audience, but this is a show just finding its feet and its audience. It’s a strong performer in comedies on the network overall, so I think we’ll see it renewed.
Batwoman up, CSI: Vegas down in the live TV ratings
Most TV shows saw dips in the live TV ratings on Wednesday, Oct. 20. The only show to see an upward tick in both the demo and the audience was Batwoman, ticking up 25% in the demo and 3% in the audience. This is a good sign for the future of the series, and I think it’s going to be renewed.
Legends of Tomorrow was up 11% in the demo, but it was 7% down in the audience. I’m not concerned about this show, though. If you look at the actual numbers, they are on the low side for The CW, but everything has been down this season for the network so far. It’s going to be interesting to see how things are next week when the straggler fall shows are back.
The three One Chicago Shows were all down in both the demo and the audience. Chicago Fire was down the least and it was still the top show in the audience. It was also the top drama of the night in the demo. The dips will be disappointing, but we’re not worried about the One Chicago shows. They’re all renewed for next season already.
CBS started the night with mixed results. Survivor was up 8% in the demo but down 4% in the audience. It did have the top performer overall in the demo, and I’m sure the series is going to be renewed. Tough as Nails and CSI: Vegas were both down. They’re just not holding onto the numbers that Survivor initially brings to the network, and that’s certainly concerning. I don’t think either will end up being renewed.
Alter Ego is another show I’m sure is going to be canceled. It’s dropped in both the demo and audience again, with the demo down by 11%.
The Masked Singer in the hour before it was down, but the demo was still at 0.9, so a good amount that will lead to the show likely being renewed. Alter Ego dropped to 0.4 in the hour after. This is a bad sign suggesting the new reality show isn’t going to be renewed.

Moore's ruling Wednesday was in response to a lawsuit filed July 1 by six gay couples.
Richard Adams and Tony Sullivan’s fight to get their marriage recognized began in 1975. It continues today, a struggle for both the rights of gays and of immigrants.
Judge Raymond P. Moore says he will issue a ruling Wednesday.
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers is asking the state court of appeals to overturn a ruling that allowed the Boulder County clerk to continue issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
The state's high court on Friday ordered Denver's clerk to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Colorado's ban on same-sex marriage appears headed for defeat, according to even its legal defender. That means different things to many people in the state.
Lakewood baker Jack Phillips was sued by a gay couple after he refused to make a cake to celebrate their wedding in 2012.
U.S. District Court Judge Raymond P. Moore says he will decide by July 25 whether to order Colorado to immediately allow gay couples to marry.
The attorney general's office says Coloradans "deserve better than the chaotic legal uncertainty last week’s events have given them." | 53politics

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, efficient call routing plays a crucial role in optimizing the performance of call centers. Call centers, also known as contact centers, are the frontline of customer service for many organizations, handling a significant volume of incoming and outgoing communications.
These centers serve as the central hub where customer queries, complaints, and sales inquiries are addressed. To ensure smooth operations and seamless customer experiences, implementing effective CC routes is imperative.
Definition and Explanation
CC routes refer to the process through which incoming calls or contacts are directed to appropriate agents or departments within a call center. It involves establishing an intelligent system that efficiently handles call distribution, ensuring that callers are connected with the most suitable agents equipped to handle their specific needs or concerns.
The fundamental objective of CC routes is to streamline communication flows within a call center environment. By employing strategic routing strategies and leveraging modern technological advancements such as VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), call centers can optimize their operational efficiencies while enhancing customer satisfaction levels.
CC (Call Center) Routes – An Overview
In practice, CC routes encompass various methodologies and technologies aimed at managing incoming calls effectively. The process involves steering callers through different stages within the calling infrastructure until they reach an appropriate agent or department that can provide them with the required assistance. This routing may involve interactions with an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) system or Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system before connecting callers with live agents.
ACD systems play a significant role in managing CC traffic by intelligently distributing calls among available agents based on predefined criteria such as agent skills, previous caller history, language preferences, or other relevant factors. On the other hand, IVR systems provide callers with voice prompts and menu options to direct them to the appropriate department or self-service options, minimizing the need for agent involvement in routine inquiries.
Importance of Efficient Call Routing in Call Centers
The significance of efficient call routing cannot be overstated when it comes to achieving operational excellence and delivering exceptional customer experiences. By implementing well-designed CC routes, call centers can experience numerous benefits:
Enhanced Customer Satisfaction
Efficient call routing ensures that customers are promptly connected with agents who have the necessary knowledge and skills to address their specific concerns. This leads to quicker problem resolution and higher customer satisfaction levels.
Optimized Agent Utilization
By intelligently distributing calls based on agent skills, availability, and workload, call centers can ensure that agents are effectively utilized. This prevents overburdening certain agents while others remain underutilized.
Reduced Call Abandonment Rates
With proper CC routes in place, callers experience shorter wait times and are less likely to abandon their calls. Reduced abandonment rates contribute positively to customer retention and overall contact center performance.
Better Resource Allocation
By accurately forecasting call traffic patterns and aligning agent staffing levels accordingly, call centers can optimize resource allocation. Consequently, they can minimize costs associated with idle time or understaffing during peak periods.
Actionable Analytics Insights
Effective CC routes allow for accurate measurement and analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average handling time, first-call resolution rates, or customer satisfaction scores. These insights enable data-driven decision-making for continuous improvement within the contact center ecosystem.
Understanding the importance of CC routes is essential for any organization seeking to maximize its call center’s performance. By implementing efficient routing strategies and leveraging appropriate technologies, call centers can enhance customer satisfaction, optimize resource allocation, and achieve operational excellence.
Understanding the Basics of CC Routing
Call Center Infrastructure and Components
In order to comprehend CC routing, it is crucial to familiarize oneself with the fundamental components of a call center infrastructure. One essential element is the Automatic Call Distributor (ACD).
This system serves as the central hub for incoming calls, intelligently routing them to available agents based on predefined criteria such as agent skills, availability, and customer priority. The ACD ensures efficient call handling and helps reduce customer wait times.
Another integral component is the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. This technology allows callers to interact with pre-recorded voice prompts and use touch-tone responses or voice recognition for self-service options before being connected to a live agent.
IVR systems play a vital role in enhancing customer experience by providing quick access to relevant information or automated tasks without engaging an agent unnecessarily. Queue Management Systems are also essential in CC routing.
These systems are responsible for managing incoming call queues, prioritizing calls based on predefined rules, and ensuring fair distribution among available agents. Queue management systems enable effective control over call traffic by monitoring waiting times, assigning priority levels, and providing real-time statistics related to caller waiting times.
Types of CC Routing Strategies
Skills-based routing is a popular strategy utilized in CC routes VOIP that aims to match caller needs with agent skills effectively. By using intelligent algorithms and predefined criteria such as language proficiency or technical expertise, incoming calls are directed towards agents who possess the necessary qualifications to address specific customer concerns efficiently.
The benefits of skills-based routing are manifold. Firstly, it ensures that customers receive accurate information from knowledgeable agents, leading to higher customer satisfaction rates.
Secondly, this approach optimizes efficiency by minimizing transfers between agents or departments since calls are initially routed directly to competent individuals. However, there are limitations to skills-based routing.
If agents with specific skills are engaged in lengthy calls, it can lead to longer wait times for customers with similar needs. Additionally, constant training and updating of agent skills are necessary to ensure compatibility with the routing system.
Time-based routing is another significant CC routing strategy that focuses on optimizing agent availability based on factors such as time zones or shifts. By aligning call distribution with agent working hours, this approach ensures that customers receive timely assistance from available representatives. One advantage of time-based routing is its ability to balance workload and improve efficiency within a call center.
It prevents agents from being overwhelmed during peak hours while maintaining a consistent level of customer service throughout the day. Additionally, this strategy enables international call centers to accommodate customers across different time zones effectively.
To implement time-based routing successfully, call centers need accurate information about their agents’ schedules and availability. Coordination between various departments and effective communication channels are crucial for seamless implementation and maintaining optimal customer support.
Understanding the basics of CC routing is paramount in optimizing call center operations. Call center infrastructure components such as ACDs, IVR systems, and Queue Management Systems form the backbone of efficient CC routes VOIP.
Skills-based routing matches caller needs with agent expertise, enhancing customer satisfaction while ensuring efficient utilization of resources. Time-based routing optimizes agent availability based on shifts or time zones to balance workload and provide consistent service levels throughout the day.
Advanced CC Routing Techniques and Technologies
Intelligent Routing Algorithms
Intelligent routing algorithms are a boon to call center efficiency. One such technology is predictive dialing systems, which leverage the power of predictive analytics to anticipate agent availability and reduce idle time. By analyzing historical data, call center managers can accurately predict peak call volumes and distribute resources accordingly.
This enables them to schedule agents optimally, resulting in reduced wait times for customers while simultaneously maximizing agent productivity. Predictive dialing systems ensure that agents are engaged in meaningful interactions rather than sitting idle, leading to improved customer satisfaction and increased operational efficiency.
Another aspect of intelligent routing algorithms is geographic routing. By utilizing caller location data, call centers can assign calls to the most suitable agents based on geographical proximity or language skills.
This approach not only enhances customer experience by providing localized service but also reduces communication barriers caused by language differences or cultural nuances. By connecting callers with agents who understand their specific needs better, geographic routing ensures a personalized and efficient support experience.
Omni-Channel Routing Solutions
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, customers seek seamless support across multiple communication channels such as voice, email, chat, and social media. Omni-channel routing solutions enable call centers to integrate these diverse channels into a unified platform for efficient customer support management. By adopting an omni-channel approach, call centers can provide consistent service across various touchpoints while maintaining context and history for each customer interaction.
The benefits of omni-channel routing in modern contact centers are manifold. Firstly, it allows customers the flexibility to choose their preferred mode of communication without sacrificing quality or convenience.
Secondly, it empowers agents with a holistic view of customer interactions across different channels, enabling them to deliver personalized responses tailored to each customer’s unique needs. Furthermore, omni-channel routing facilitates quicker issue resolution by eliminating the need for customers to repeat information when switching between channels.
However, implementing omni-channel routing comes with its own set of challenges and considerations. It requires a robust technological infrastructure capable of seamless integration and data synchronization across various channels.
Additionally, call centers must invest in comprehensive training programs to equip agents with the necessary skills to handle diverse communication channels effectively. Overcoming these challenges is essential to reap the rewards of improved customer satisfaction, higher agent productivity, and increased brand loyalty that come with successful implementation of omni-channel routing solutions.
Niche Subtopics in CC Routes
When it comes to CC routes, there are niche subtopics worth exploring, such as overflow routing strategies. Overflow routing refers to the process of managing excess call traffic when call volumes exceed available agent capacity. One type of overflow strategy is priority-based overflow, which ensures that high-priority calls receive immediate attention by bypassing regular queues and directly connecting them with specialized agents or supervisors.
This approach is particularly useful for urgent or critical issues that require prompt resolution. Another type of overflow strategy is load-balanced overflow, which distributes excess call traffic evenly across available agents based on their workload.
This technique helps prevent bottlenecks by ensuring workload distribution in a fair and systematic manner. By evenly distributing calls during peak periods, load-balanced overflow optimizes agent utilization while maintaining service levels and reducing caller wait times.
This section on advanced CC routing techniques and technologies: intelligent routing algorithms leverage predictive dialing systems and geographic routing for efficient call assignment and enhanced customer experience. Omni-channel routing solutions integrate multiple communication channels for seamless customer support management across various touchpoints.
Additionally, niche subtopics like overflow routing strategies further refine the efficiency of CC routes by handling excess call traffic effectively. Overall, these advanced techniques empower call centers to optimize their operations while delivering exceptional customer service in an ever-evolving digital landscape dominated by multi-channel interactions.
Efficient call routing is critical for call centers to deliver exceptional customer experiences while optimizing operational performance. As highlighted in this article, CC routes encompass the technologies, strategies, and processes aimed at streamlining call distribution and enhancing resource utilization within contact centers. By leveraging solutions like ACD systems, IVR technology, and advanced techniques such as predictive dialing, skills-based routing, and omni-channel integration, call centers can route each customer to the right agent at the right time. This enables quicker issue resolution, reduced wait times, and higher satisfaction levels. For call centers to stay competitive and maximize productivity in a rapidly evolving landscape, investing in robust, intelligent CC routing capabilities is no longer optional – it is an imperative. With insightful management and continuous innovation, CC routes will continue empowering contact centers to achieve service excellence. | 12communication_engineering

Registration Now Open for Hike the Hill® 2024
Virtual Issue Briefings Week of January 22
In-Person Hike the Hill® in Washington, DC February 11-15, 2024
American Hiking works on a range of issues that affect public lands, hiking, and trails. The links below include information about a variety of policies, bills, and issues that have immediate or significant impacts on trails and the hiking experience. Do you have questions or suggestions about issues that affect the hiking experience? Email us!
The nearly 1,000,000 square miles that comprise U.S. public lands are our most treasured natural resource. Whether you’re a hiker enjoying the 193,500 miles of trail or one of the total 145 million recreation users, these lands are of enormous personal value to you. Public lands are also an economic driver for the recreation economy, generating 508,740 jobs and an economic output of $52 billion each year
The most pressing threats to public lands protections include shrinking National Monuments and expanding energy development. Such erosions, rather than expanding access, usually deprive hikers, anglers, hunters, campers, and all other permitted users the opportunity to enjoy their desired form of recreation, and, at best, obstruct views and generate noise and air pollution.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is America’s most important program to conserve irreplaceable lands and improve outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the nation. The program has funded nearly one thousand trail projects and thousands of other projects ranging from National Parks, Forests and Wildlife Refuges to community parks and ball fields in all 50 states. Legislation is pending in Congress to permanently reauthorize and provide dedicated funding to the program.
Our public lands are facing a $21.5 billion and growing maintenance backlog. When annual maintenance needs go unaddressed, long-term problems arise, impacting the public’s ability to access outdoor recreation. Closed trails, out-of-service restrooms, campgrounds in poor conditions, and impassable roads are only a few of the barriers that hikers face. Currently 193,500 miles of trails on federal lands need $1.71 billion of estimated maintenance.
Efforts to amend the Wilderness Act threaten the continued protection of our most untouched and wild lands. American Hiking Society opposes the use of mountain bicycles in designated wilderness areas and areas under consideration for wilderness designation.
Completing our National Trails System
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails System and realizing the goal to achieve a completed and connected system is just as important today as when the law was enacted. Legislation before Congress including the National Scenic Trail Parity Act and the North Country National Scenic Trail Route Adjustment Act work towards that goal.
Trails are the gateway to nearly every facet of outdoor recreation, including fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, camping, and more. A failure to maintain and manage our nation’s trails stymies economic growth and access to healthy outdoor recreation.
The Every Kid Outdoors Act congressionally authorizes the Every Kid in a Park program, providing every fourth grader and their family free access to all federal public lands and waters. The act will introduce the next generation to outdoor recreation and foster lifelong service to and enjoyment of our most treasured natural resource. Hundreds of thousands of students have taken advantage of the program since it began
The mission of the bipartisan House Trails Caucus is to provide a forum for interested members of Congress to work together for the creation and conservation of our natural landscape and recreation activities through the preservation of trails.
Concerns Affecting the Hiking Experience
Funding for Trails
Funds for trails come from various sources, including federal appropriations, state funds, grants, and private donations. Regardless of funding source, most trails are founded on public-private partnerships and include some form of cost-sharing or leveraging, including volunteer support.
Mountain Biking on National Scenic Trails
In recent months there has been an upsurge of organized mountain biking groups attempting to gain access to sections of National Scenic Trails where mountain bikes are currently prohibited. These trails – or in some cases, sections of these trails – were neither designed nor built for mountain bike use. Due to concerns about safety, sustainability, and the displacement of hikers on trails with heavy bike usage, AHS believes that the sections of National Scenic Trails, where mountain bikes are currently prohibited, should remain closed to bikes.
Government Programs and Policies
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)
LWCF balances the extraction and sale of federal natural resources – offshore oil and gas – with the permanent protection of important lands and waters and access to recreation for all Americans.
America’s Great Outdoors (AGO)
AGO is an effort to promote America’s connection to the outdoors and to bolster current conservation practices nationwide. The Initiative includes a series of listening and learning sessions are being held this summer and early fall around the country for engaging recreation and conservation community partners in developing a 21st Century conservation plan.
RTP utilizing a “user-pay/user-benefit” model, uses just a small portion of the taxes from the sale of fuel purchased by nonhighway trail users such as off road vehicles and snowmobiles. These funds are used for all sorts of trail projects: projects that benefit not just motorized trail users but also hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians. These RTP funds are distributed to the states which subsequently awards grants for various trail projects.
Travel Management Planning – Protecting the Hiking Experience
The hiking experience on America’s public lands will be profoundly affected by a series of “Travel Management Plans” currently underway by the USDA Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The agencies recently enacted policies intended to address the problem of increasing damage from unmanaged off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation, which includes all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes, and 4-wheel drive vehicles. | 19environmental_science

However, recent years has seen increasing militarization of space. The militarization of space means placement and improvement of military hardware and military technology in the outer space.
NAM has recognized the common interest of all mankind and the sovereign rights of all State in the exploration and use of outer space for exclusively peaceful purposes, and emphasized that prevention of an arms race in outer space, including a ban to deploy or use weapons therein, would avert a grave danger for international peace and security. NAM leaders have further emphasized the paramount importance of strict compliance with existing arms limitation and disarmament agreements relevant to outer space, including bilateral agreements, and with the existing legal regime concerning the use of outer space and also the urgent need for the commencement of substantive work in the Conference of Disarmament. In the Cairo NAM Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1964, the movement welcomed the agreement of the Great Powers not to orbit in outer space nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction and expresses its conviction that it is necessary to conclude an international treaty prohibiting the utilization of outer space for military purposes.
Currently, NAM has expressed its full support to the prevention of an arms race in outer space and in this context has taking note of the joint Russian-Chinese initiative of a draft treaty on the “Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use of Force Against Outer Space Objects” (PPWT) presented in the Conference on Disarmament on 12 February 2008. Article II of the Treaty states that” States Parties undertake not to place in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying any kinds of weapons, not to install such weapons on celestial bodies and not to place such weapons in outer space in any other manner; not to resort to the threat or use of force against outer space objects; and not to assist or induce other States, groups of States or international organizations to participate in activities prohibited by this Treaty.” Article VI of the Treaty mentions that “With a view to promoting confidence in compliance with the provisions of the Treaty and ensuring transparency and confidence-building in outer space activities, the States Parties shall implement agreed confidence-building measures on a voluntary basis.” The Non-Aligned Movement has noted that the initiatives undertaken as per the relevant parts of the PPWT Treaty are indeed a constructive contribution towards achieving the goal of disarmament and also form a good basis for further discussion toward adopting an international binding instruments in order to establish peace in the outer space.
In 2012, Indonesia speaking on the behalf of NAM at the Thematic Debate of First Committee in an Outer Space disarmament debate stated that “the Movement continues to be concerned over the negative implications of the development and deployment of anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defence systems and the threat of weaponization of outer space which have, inter alia, contributed to the further erosion of an international climate conducive to the promotion of disarmament and the strengthening of international security. The abrogation of the ABM Treaty brought new challenges to strategic stability and the prevention of an arms race in outer space”. The Indonesian representative reiterated the apprehensions of NAM that the movement remained seriously concerned at the negative security consequences of the deployment of strategic missile defense systems, which could trigger an arms race and lead to the further development of advanced missile systems and an increase in the number of nuclear weapons.
NAM has underscored that space science and technology and their applications, such as satellite communications, Earth observation systems and satellite navigation technologies, provide indispensable tools for viable long-term solutions for sustainable development and can contribute more effectively to efforts to promote the development of all countries and regions of the world, to improve people’s lives, to conserve mitigation of the consequences of disasters.
In this regard and while underlining the importance of the availability of space science and technology to all interested countries, NAM stresses that they should be utilized in accordance with the international law and the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, in particular promotion of international peace and security. | 0aerospace

The inverter section is comprised of IGBTs that create sinusoidal output current using pulsed dc bus voltage, or pulse width modulation (PWM). The VFD's PID algorithm uses mathematical properties to determine reaction to changes between the system setpoint and its actual state as measured by feedback. Regeneration: A motor can become a generator and send power back to the main line whenever the rotor is rotating faster than the stator field. A two-contactor bypass allows the motor to be run directly from the incoming line, bypassing the VFD; it can be used to run the motor at a constant speed directly from the incoming line in case of VFD failure. Voltage loss results from voltage that is dropped across the motor conductors, yet produces no flux to link stator and rotor. 1. For optimum performance, the position or deflection of the motors rotor must be known or accurately estimated. Slip: The speed difference between the motor's rotating magnetic field (created by the stator) and motor-shaft rotation. 35. Motor poles: In an induction motor, the stator is used to create the magnetic fields inside the motor that magnetize its rotor and cause shaft rotation. A line reactor reduces discontinuity of the current drawn by a VFD's converter section. 17. © 2020 Endeavor Business Media, LLC. use a transformer to couple the phase to phase voltage from the vfd to the scope. Leakage current: The derivative of common-mode voltages over time (dv/dt) generated by PWM pulses interacting with parasitic capacitances found between motor cables and the ground conductor, and between the motor's stator and rotor. 19. When a VFD chassis ground is connected back to this ground, a safe conduction path is created in case a conductor accidentally shorts to a metal portion of the enclosure. 38. 18. This high voltage can exceed the voltage rating of the motor's insulation. IGBT switching rates in VFDs range from 2 to 15 kHz. 28. This allows for VFD servicing while the motor is being run from the incoming line, and can also be used to run the motor at constant speed at a higher efficiency than with the VFD in circuit. At low output frequencies a low output voltage is required. Two-contactor bypass: A VFD accessory that allows motor operation across the line or through the VFD. This offset causes the fifth, seventh, eleventh, and thirteenth harmonics to be eliminated. 2. 12-pulse rectification requires a dual diode bridge input (six pulses each) and a multi-phase transformer. 22. 10. kVA: The effective size of a VFD based on the output volts and amps it supplies. Dynamic braking: In VFDs, this refers to connecting resistors to the dc bus through a transistor. Intelligent power module (IPM): Used in the output section of some VFDs. Common busing: A method for connecting the dc bus sections of separate VFDs, or operating multiple independent inverter sections from a common dc source. V/F mode: Also known as volts-per-hertz mode, this is a simple control method for ac induction motors via a VFD. The real current (I r) is supplied by the electric grid and the reactive current (I q) is supplied by the DC bus capacitor inside the VFD-See figure. This pulse width modulation scheme works because the motor is a large inductor that does not allow current to pulse like the voltage. Control board: The control board is a printed circuit board (PCB) that is the main interface component used to connect external equipment and operator interface components to and from the VFD. 21. The control PCB generally interfaces to the VFD's main circuit via the gate drive board. 10. kVA: The effective size of a VFD based on the output volts and amps it supplies. A third is installed between the VFD output and motor. Because the line reactor is installed in front of the VFD, it also helps protect the drive from most voltage transients by dropping voltage by an amount proportional to the current flowing through it. These high dv/dt pulses interact with cable inductance and capacitance and produce a reflection of the incoming voltage pulses at the motor terminals. At high output frequencies a high voltage … (kVA = Volts ¡Á Amps ¡Á ¡Ì3 for a three-phase output.) 18-pulse rectification: Used to lessen the input-current THD. Sequenced correctly, PWM outputs motor current in a nearly perfect sinusoidal waveform. An IPM is easier to include in a VFD package and takes up less space than if the IPM components were individually laid out on an external PCB. PNP transistors are usually associated with sourcing circuits. In a single-phase motor, each of these electromagnets is matched by another one located 180¡ã away with the opposite polarity, thus creating a magnetic field. One contactor is installed between the incoming line and motor, while the other is installed between the VFD output and motor. 31. 16. Closed-loop vector: A complex but highly effective method for motor control that allows VFDs to realize dc drive control benefits without the physical limitations of dc motors. Benefits include four-quadrant operation in a small footprint, low input current harmonic distortion, and lower common mode voltage and common mode current.

The land between the two underpasses will be raised to create an artificial hill rising to a peak of around 36 feet, roughly the height of a three-story building.
In a letter to the planning authority supporting the application, Dart wrote: “This underpass is essential infrastructure to create future sea-to-sound connectivity in Camana Bay that is core to the principle and development intent of a pedestrian-friendly town with a lively street level at every turn.
“This application represents an important phase in the master planning at Camana Bay to facilitate expansion towards Seven Mile Beach. It includes ramps which will facilitate safe access from the Camana Bay Town Centre on a pedestrian overpass, allowing vehicular traffic to flow unimpeded.”
Dart says it is still in the process of master planning how it will use the land between the two highways. The elevated section will start west of the Cayman Mac Store.
Permission for the work was granted on condition that Dart ensures unimpeded access along West Bay Road during construction through a temporary pedestrian path. | 25geography

spectral resolution. The sensitivity will determine how long it will take to record a spectrum with a given signal-to-noise
ratio. In turn, the grating reflectivity will determine the optical throughput of the instrument. The spectral resolution
will determine how easy it will be to extract subtle information from a spectrum. The spectral resolution is determined by
the focal length of the spectrograph and the groove density of the grating used to disperse the light, and will also affect
the apparent sensitivity. Note that in many cases, spectral resolution may be improved at the expense of sensitivity. Because
many new users of Raman equipment are not familiar with these grating–spectrograph properties, we thought it would be useful
to summarize the physics, in simplistic terms, that determine how the instruments work.
Over the past 20 years Raman spectroscopy has gained popularity because instrumental innovations have made it easier to use
them for problem-solving, providing spectra in 1% of the time that it took prior to the Raman revolution following the introduction
of the holographic notch filters. In addition, new graduates of chemistry and materials science are taking jobs in industry
without any graduate education in spectroscopy or the operation of spectroscopic instrumentation. Consequently, the new user
is faced with myriad choices in configuring a new instrument or in optimizing an existing instrument for a given experiment.
Understanding how the spectrograph core of a Raman instrument works will aid the novice in producing quality, defensible results
for solving industrial problems or characterizing new materials.
A spectrograph is designed to accept light with many wavelengths, separate the wavelengths in space, and then "detect" each
wavelength on a multichannel detector, which today is synonymous with a charge-coupled device (CCD). Figure 1 is a schematic
of a spectrograph.
Figure 1: Schematic of a dispersive Raman spectrograph.
Figure 1 shows a typical Raman spectrograph. The collected Raman light is focused onto an entrance slit. After passing the
slit, it diverges until it reaches a concave mirror whose focal length corresponds to the distance between the mirror and
slit; after being reflected by the mirror, the light is "collimated." When the light hits the grating, which is an array of
finely spaced lines on a reflective surface, there is constructive and destructive interference, which is wavelength and angle
dependent. Consequently, each wavelength is reflected at a different angle (1). As each wavelength is then reflected from
the camera mirror onto the array detector (CCD), it is focused at a different position on the array. The wavelength of the
light on each array pixel can then be calculated from the known equations of grating physics, as shown in Figure 2 (2).
Figure 2: Schematic showing how a pixel position is converted to a wavelength.
It is not the purpose of this article to derive the equations that determine the conversion, but only to indicate to the new
user the origin of the "magic" inside the software that enables the spectral "image" on the camera to be converted to a spectrum,
that is, a plot of intensity (counts or counts/s) versus Raman shift (cm-1). The physical quantities determining the separation on the camera of two wavelengths will be the incident angle of the light
on the grating, the diffracted angles, as determined by these equations, and the focal length of the focusing element (2).
When a Raman instrument is designed, the spectral dispersion at a given wavelength is selected, and then the angles and focal
length are calculated to produce the desired result. In addition, there is optical software that enables asymmetrizing the
geometry so that the images are kept as tight as possible on the surface of the detector, which, of course, is flat.
Of course, the Raman spectrum is only meaningful when the wavelength values are converted to Raman shift units, also in the
software, according to equation 1:
where ν is derived from λ according to equation 2:
Typical widths of lines in a Raman spectrum are between 1 and 10 cm-1 full width at half maximum (FWHM). If parameters are selected that produce 1 cm-1/pixel, then about 1000 cm-1 can be covered on a CCD that has 1024 pixels in the long direction, which is the spectral dispersion direction. In principle,
the selection of the grating would be straightforward, but as we will see, there are important characteristics that have to
be acknowledged in the choice.
Just to get oriented to these effects, examine the behavior shown in Figure 3 of the 155 cm-1 line of sulfur that was recorded with the 633-nm line of a HeNe laser on instruments whose focal length varied between 150
mm and 1920 mm. Depending on the goal of the measurement, it may or may not be important to resolve the components in the
spectrum; how much will be necessary to resolve will determine the selection of gratings as will be discussed in the following
Figure 3: 155 cm-1 line of crystalline sulfur recorded with instruments whose focal length varied between 1920, 640, 460, and 250 mm (from top
to bottom). (Courtesy of Sergey Mamedov of Horiba Scientific.)
The important grating characteristics that have to be matched with the desired instrument characteristics are
- the dispersion, which is a result of the groove density (g/mm) and focal length, and
- the reflectivity, which is a complicated function of the groove density, the groove profile (including the blaze angle), the
angle at which the grating is used, and the metallic coating (3,4). | 30instrument_science

El Paso County Commissioners on Monday approved a countywide truancy prevention program that poses possible fines and sanctions if students aren’t kept from skipping school.
The program — to be implemented at all nine El Paso County school districts in January and at least 20 charter schools as required under a new Texas law — went into effect Sept. 1. Private and religious schools are exempt.
County Judge Veronica Escobar said the county had until the end of the year to produce its own program under the new law, which she considered to be a better approach to truancy than previous measures.
Officials began putting the plan together after commissioners approved the creation of a task force in late August. District Attorney Jaime Esparza heads the task force.
Constables, justices of the peace, El Paso’s public school districts, Commissioners Court and other stakeholders also were involved in the plan.
Esparza said that, under the previous law, public school students with a truancy issue — at least 10 unexcused absences in a six-month period — found their truancy cases heard by justices of the peace.
"That was not a good plan," he said. "Now, schools have to handle the truancy issues themselves. They will be responsible for doing more intervention before sending truant students to the courts."
The new law requires schools to do more to proactively address chronic absenteeism.
Esparza said the prevention truancy program in schools consists of working with students for 45 days, ,along with the parents. If the student keeps missing school despite completing the plan, the school can file a complaint, which no longer carries a criminal charge. However, parents could still face a fine of up to $500, officials said.
Truancy cases will first go to the District Attorney's Office before going to a justice of the peace, Esparza said. All school districts, particularly El Paso, Socorro and Ysleta, were receptive to the plan, he said.
Once the plan is in place, Esparza expects his office will see fewer truancy cases.
"The plan will keep students out of the courtrooms and in the classroom," he said.
Prosecutors handle about 1,000 truancy cases annually, said Matt Moore, assistant district attorney.
Despite the fact that the plan was not ready, school districts began to implement some of its measures in September, which have resulted in only two dozen truancy cases to date.
The task force will meet quarterly to evaluate the measures. The first meeting is set for mid-February with results to be presented to County Commissioners later that month, Moore said.

Most creditors can’t write, call or sue you after you’ve filed. However, even if you declare bankruptcy, the courts can require you to pay back certain debts. Each bankruptcy case is unique, and only a court can decide the details of your own bankruptcy.
In 2011, the Superintendent of bankruptcy reported that trustees in Canada filed 127,774 insolvent estates. Consumer estates were the vast majority, with 122 999 estates. The consumer portion of the 2011 volume is divided into 77,993 bankruptcies and 45,006 consumer proposals. This represented a reduction of 8.9% from 2010. Commercial estates filed by Canadian trustees in 2011 4,775 estates, 3,643 bankruptcies and 1,132 Division 1 proposals. This represents a reduction of 8.6% over 2010.
Bankruptcy in the United States is a matter placed under federal jurisdiction by the United States Constitution (in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4), which empowers Congress to enact "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States". Congress has enacted statutes governing bankruptcy, primarily in the form of the Bankruptcy Code, located at Title 11 of the United States Code.
The most common types of personal bankruptcy for individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7, known as a "straight bankruptcy" involves the discharge of certain debts without repayment. Chapter 13, involves a plan of repayment of debts over a period of years. Whether a person qualifies for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is in part determined by income. As many as 65% of all U.S. consumer bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 cases. | 33law

Approximately 23% of incomplete abortions in Zambia are among women younger than 20 years, and 30-50% of gynecological admissions at the University Teaching Hospital result from unsafe abortion-related complications (Standards and Guidelines for Reducing Unsafe Abortion Morbidity and Mortality in Zambia-Ministry of Health). For every 1,000 women ages 15-29 in Zambia, there are over 30 deaths per year resulting from unsafe abortion, thousands more suffer injuries.
Findings on girls aged 13 -19 years old aimed at describing adolescent girls’ circumstances underlying the decision to resort to unsafe induced abortions found that most of the girls who resorted to unsafe abortions were single, in school, nulliparous with inadequate information on contraceptives. It was further found that the adolescent girl’s reasons for resorting to an unsafe abortion were fear of stigma and discrimination due to premarital conception such as parental disapproval, expulsion from school, and abandonment by the person responsible for the pregnancy.
In 2019, Contact Trust Youth Association (CTYA) conducted a mapping exercise to explore abortion stigma, its root causes, and related values, norms, and culture in the community in order to identify and document important community characteristics and issues that need to be addressed. Although most interviewed girls and young women were well aware of available medical abortion services in health facilities, they preferred using unsafe methods to going to clinics as they felt altitudes among health practitioners were a ‘let-down’.
“I tried drinking undiluted Mazoe drink and Muzwezi (local plant) boiled water but the pregnancy did not come out but left me sick for a couple of weeks, I could not come to the clinic because I was shy and have heard nurses shout at people before they can attend to them.” (Focus group discussion participant).
There is good evidence to suggest that adolescents (10–24 years) are at a greater risk of experiencing ‘illegal’ or ‘unsafe’ invasive procedures than older women, and are thus worthy of special attention. Illegal abortion in adolescents is linked to earlier onset of sexual activity, earlier pregnancy, and greater ignorance of contraception as compared with women seeking legal abortions. | 57sociology

https://www.spaglaw.com/blog/2024/02/pinch-points-on-an-oil-platform/ | 2024-02-21T17:27:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473524.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221170215-20240221200215-00479.warc.gz | 0.953839 | 825 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__110259537 | en | Oil platforms represent an incredible achievement of human engineering. However, the complex machinery and tight spaces inherent to these facilities introduce significant safety risks, particularly pinch points. Pinch points on oil platforms are areas in which workers or parts of their body can get caught or squeezed between moving parts of machinery, equipment and fixed objects.
Pinch points are present in various operations on an oil platform, from drilling equipment, rotating parts, and automated machinery to seemingly benign areas like hatches, doors, and storage areas. These points can cause injuries ranging from minor bruises to severe, life-altering injuries such as fractures, amputations, or even fatalities if body parts become trapped. The complexity and confined spaces of oil platforms, combined with harsh environmental conditions, exacerbate these risks. This makes it crucial to identify and address pinch points proactively.
The primary danger of pinch points is their potential to cause injury without warning. Workers may be unaware of a pinch point until an incident occurs, especially in high-traffic areas or where visibility is low. The use of heavy machinery and equipment, often operated remotely or automatically, increases the risk, as does the need for manual handling of materials in tight spaces. Injuries from pinch points not only affect the health and safety of workers but also impact operational efficiency, leading to downtime and financial losses.
There are many ways to mitigate pinch points and the associated danger, however, the first step is conducting a thorough risk assessment to identify potential danger zones. Educating workers about these risks and training them to recognize and avoid pinch points is critical. This includes instruction on the proper use of machinery, awareness of moving parts, and understanding the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE). Wherever possible, redesigning machinery or workspace layouts to eliminate pinch points can significantly reduce risks. Installing guards or barriers around moving parts, using safety devices like emergency stop buttons, and ensuring adequate lighting and visibility are also effective strategies.
While not a solution to eliminate hazards, PPE serves as a critical last line of defense against pinch point injuries. Gloves, safety goggles, and other protective gear should be selected based on the specific risks associated with each task and area on the platform. Further, ensuring that machinery and equipment are in good working order can prevent malfunctions that lead to pinch point incidents. Regular inspections and maintenance should be part of a comprehensive safety program, along with protocols for reporting and addressing potential hazards promptly. Finally, clearly marking hazardous areas and pinch points can alert workers to potential dangers. Signage and floor markings should be used to designate safe pathways and remind personnel of the need to exercise caution.
Even though mitigating pinch points is relatively cheap and easy to do, many offshore companies still fail to complete this basic task. When this happens, workers can suffer injuries, or even worse, death due to pinch points. The owners and operators of oil platforms owe a duty to their employees and contractors to ensure that they are working in a safe environment. If the owners and operators of a platform fail to perform this duty, accidents may occur. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in a workplace accident, it is important to contact a lawyer to discuss your legal options. A lawyer can help you investigate the accident to determine who was responsible and what safety measures were in place. They can also help pursue compensation for your injuries or the loss of your loved one.

Sean Yeats, LG’s UK & Ireland technical manager in the air conditioning and energy solutions business, said: "LG is renowned for its cutting-edge solutions that prioritise consumer needs. With unparalleled features enabling sophisticated control and greater compatibility, the ACP 5 delivers the convenience and integration our customers demand. Importantly, achieving operational efficiency is made simpler thanks to a user-friendly interface with easy to monitor energy consumption information.”
A key component of the ACP 5 is its intuitive control setup. Rather than having to be on-site to operate the system, users can control it remotely from a PC, tablet or smartphone. Compatible with HTML5, the user interface (UI) is optimised for a range of devices.
Users can monitor and control a variety of functions via the intuitive UI, including operating status, energy usage trends and environmental conditions. As users can visually identify a unit that is working sub-optimally, they can easily adjust energy consumption to minimise inefficiency and lower running costs.
The ACP 5’s integrated control is said to allow for easier management of up to 256 indoor units and other equipment spread out over an extensive area. In addition to the integrated control of multiple units on an individual basis, it’s possible to control units as a group. Users can create multi-level grouping comprised of several zones, floors and buildings. They can also assign custom control groups for high traffic areas such as board rooms. Furthermore, by recording operational/usage trends, the ACP 5 enables users to quickly view and assess the performance of each unit.
Increased compatibility claims to offer more efficient control and integration with a diverse range of HVAC products. As the Building Management System (BMS) system is embedded in the ACP 5, there is no need for an additional BMS gateway to enable communication with the BMS protocol, BACnet IP and Modbus TCP. With the combined capabilities of the ACP 5 with built-in BMS, users will experience more efficient management than ever before.
To expand the range of available control options from previous models, LG has enhanced the interlock function on its new solution. The ACP 5 can handle multiple complex tasks, conducting them in a designated sequence. It offers a ‘holding time’ post input of up to 60 minutes. For instance, the user can set up pre-determined actions for specific occurrences, such as ceasing operation if an alarm indicating refrigerant leakage sounds continuously for three minutes. In addition, the user can control the settings to delay each output by up to 60 minutes. LG has also bolstered network accessibility for the ACP 5 by offering support for the most recent version of Internet Protocol, IPv6.
Efficient energy management
Thanks to the smart energy navigation function, users can effortlessly adjust energy consumption to reduce costs and save power. By analysing past usage, the solution can help predict energy demand. In addition, accurate simulation software helps to prevent the system from exceeding consumption targets in the future. | 12communication_engineering

+41 61 280 8138
Ref no: 4/2019
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is seeking feedback from stakeholders for its evaluation of the effects of financial regulatory reforms on the provision of financing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The evaluation forms part of a broader FSB examination of the effects of post-crisis reforms on financial intermediation. More details on the evaluation and a summary of the views expressed by some stakeholders can be found in the note with the key takeaways of a roundtable held by the FSB on this topic in December 2018.
As part of this evaluation, the FSB invites feedback from stakeholders including SMEs, financial institutions and trade associations on the following issues:
What have been the main trends in SME financing (i.e. types of financing, volumes, prices and maturities) since the financial crisis? How do these trends differ across jurisdictions (e.g. advanced vs emerging market economies) and sectors (e.g. high-tech vs traditional firms), as well as by firm size (micro vs small vs medium-sized firms) and age (e.g. start-ups vs mature firms)?
What have been the main drivers of the observed trends in SME financing in recent years? How do they differ across jurisdictions, sectors, size and age of firms?
Have financial regulatory reforms such as Basel III affected bank financing to SMEs (e.g. in terms of loan volumes, prices, maturities and collateralisation)? If so, how? How important have been their effects vis-à-vis other types of bank lending and compared to the main drivers identified in question 2?
How does the impact (if any) of financial regulatory reforms vary across banks operating in different geographies and with different size and business models?
What other G20 financial reforms or other domestic financial regulations (if any) may have impacted financing to SMEs and how?
Have financial reforms prompted a shift in the provision of SME financing, e.g. between banks and other financial institutions (substitution effects)? If so, how?
Are there any other issues or relevant factors that should be considered as part of the evaluation?
Feedback, including evidence in support of the responses, should be submitted by 18 March 2019 to [email protected] under the subject heading “SME financing evaluation”. Responses will be published on the FSB’s website unless respondents expressly request otherwise. The feedback will be considered by the FSB as it prepares the draft report, which will be issued for public consultation ahead of the June 2019 G20 Summit. The final report, reflecting the feedback from the public consultation, will be published in October 2019.
Notes to editors
Following the global financial crisis, the G20 launched a comprehensive programme of financial reforms to increase the resilience of the global financial system, while preserving its open and integrated structure. With the main elements of the post-crisis reforms agreed and implementation underway, an analysis of the effects of these reforms is becoming possible. To that end, the FSB published in July 2017 a framework for the post-implementation evaluation of the effects of the G20 financial regulatory reforms.
One of the first two evaluations under the Framework is an examination of the effects of the G20 regulatory reforms on financial intermediation, which is chaired by Klaas Knot (President of De Nederlandsche Bank). The motivation for this evaluation stems from the need to better understand the effects of those reforms on the financing of real economic activity, and hence their contribution to the G20 objective of strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive economic growth. The evaluation consists of two parts: the first part, published in November 2018, examined the effects of reforms on the financing of infrastructure investment. The second part involves an evaluation of the effects of reforms on the financing of SMEs.
The FSB coordinates at the international level the work of national financial authorities and international standard-setting bodies and develops and promotes the implementation of effective regulatory, supervisory, and other financial sector policies in the interest of financial stability. It brings together national authorities responsible for financial stability in 24 countries and jurisdictions, international financial institutions, sector-specific international groupings of regulators and supervisors, and committees of central bank experts. The FSB also conducts outreach with approximately 70 other jurisdictions through its six Regional Consultative Groups.
The FSB is chaired by Randal K. Quarles, Vice Chairman for Supervision, US Federal Reserve; its Vice Chair is Klaas Knot, President, De Nederlandsche Bank. The FSB Secretariat is located in Basel, Switzerland, and hosted by the Bank for International Settlements. | 55public_administration

Right out of the gate, it’s important to know that the USPS does in fact deliver on Saturday! Weekend delivery is available for standard mail, packages, and parcels, pretty much anything sent through the USPS that has been dropped off at the post office ready to go for weekend delivery.
Did the post office used to deliver twice a day?
Carriers walked as many as 22 miles a day, carrying up to 50 pounds of mail at a time. They were instructed to deliver letters frequently and promptly — generally twice a day to homes and up to four times a day to businesses. The second residential delivery was discontinued on April 17, 1950, in most cities.
When did the USPS deliver twice a day?
Mail service has been deteriorating for decades. Up until 1950, residences received mail delivery twice a day.
Do packages get delivered separately?
Check your mailbox again as some packages come separately from your regular mail. Check with others in your house that may have accepted it. In rare cases, package may show as ‘delivered’ but could take additional 24 hours.
Why is my package still in transit USPS?
Your package could be stuck in transit for many reasons: loss, damage, or even a USPS tracking system failure. More likely, though, the short-staffed US Post Office has misplaced, mislabelled, or simply overlooked your package. This means it can be located easily enough once you call attention to its absence.
Does UPS deliver on Saturdays now?
UPS delivers on Saturdays to homes in more than 100 U.S. metro areas. Sometimes faster delivery – even just one day – makes all the difference. With Saturday delivery* from UPS, you can receive your orders up to two days faster than before, and at no extra cost.
Do Amazon deliver on Saturdays and Sundays?
UPS and USPS both receive packages from Amazon, and then make the “last mile” delivery to your doorstep. But don’t expect them to deliver any other kinds of packages — Amazon is the only company that they deliver on Sunday for (aside from the occasional USPS Priority mail).
When did the United States postal service stop delivering Saturday mail?
In February 2013, the USPS announced that in order to save about $2 billion per year, Saturday delivery service would be discontinued except for packages, mail-order medicines, Priority Mail, Express Mail, and mail delivered to Post Office boxes, beginning August 10, 2013.
How long does it take to get mail from USPS on Saturday?
First-class mail, retail ground (Standard Post), and media mail items’ delivery are not specified. It says that Priority Mail items are delivered within 1-3 business days (not a guarantee). This service is starting at $6.65 online and at post offices, but as said before, USPS is going to end its Saturday delivery very soon.
Is the post office still open on Saturdays?
How End of Saturday Mail Would Work Under five-day delivery, the Postal Service will no longer deliver mail to street addresses – residences or businesses – on Saturdays. Post Offices will remain open on Saturdays, though, to sell stamps and other postal products. Mail addressed to post office boxes will continue to be available Saturday.
When was express mail first delivered on Sundays?

Dear Peter, thank you very much for your explanations. Just one thing, as I perhaps expressed it mistakable: >> So my question is: Is it correct, that a particle also creates a new >> G4Track for itself when creating new particles (e.g. a muon creating >> photons by scintillation seems to create the photons' G4Tracks as well >> as a new muon G4Track, having the same trackID, parentID,... as the >> original muon G4Track)? > > I am surprised that you are saying that the trackID has not also changed, or > the parentID? That should not be the case. You should be able to trace (if > you have saved G4Trajectories) the history of tracks from trackID to > parentId, and so on. In my simulation, I have one muon going through a scintillator. I added "cout"s in my TrackingAction::PreUserTrackingAction(const G4Track* aTrack) (-> G4cout << "TrackID " << aTrack->GetTrackID() << G4endl;G4cout << "ParentID " << aTrack->GetParentID() << G4endl;) and in my SteppingAction::UserSteppingAction(const G4Step* theStep) (-> cout << "StepNumber " << theTrack->GetCurrentStepNumber() << G4endl;). That should give me a list with the trackID of each G4Track followed by the stepnumbers of all G4Steps belonging to a G4Track. Is that correct? And I get something like this: TrackID 1 -> my muon ParentID 0 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 StepNumber 3 TrackID 73 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 72 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 71 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 . . . TrackID 2 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 1 -> my muon again ParentID 0 StepNumber 4 TrackID 256 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 255 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 254 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 . . . TrackID 74 -> one of the scintillation photons ParentID 1 StepNumber 1 StepNumber 2 TrackID 1 -> my muon again ParentID 0 StepNumber 4 . . . This brings me to the conclusion, that the muon has several G4Tracks, which have all the same TrackID and ParentID (and therefore can be assigned to the muon) but different StepNumbers (so that the full trajectory of the muon has continuous StepNumbers). Is do you agree? Because I need to know if my conclusion is correct, as my logic for assigning the G4Tracks ti the particles is based on the fact, that the TrackIDs/ParentIDs repeat. Best regards, Erik

TSH is a glycoprotein and consists of two subunits, the alpha and the beta subunit.
The α (alpha) subunit (i.e., chorionic gonadotropin alpha) is nearly identical to that of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The α subunit is thought to be the effector region responsible for stimulation of adenylate cyclase (involved the generation of cAMP). The α chain has a 92-amino acid sequence.
The β (beta) subunit (TSHB) is unique to TSH, and therefore determines its receptor specificity. The β chain has a 118-amino acid sequence.
TSHB mRNA is linked to cholesterol metabolism in adipose tissue. 2017
Subclinical hypothyroidism is known to be associated with increased serum cholesterol. Since thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) exerts an inductor effect on cholesterol biosynthesis, we aimed to investigate the relationship between TSH mRNA and cholesterol metabolism in human adipose tissue (AT). Cross-sectionally, AT TSH-β (TSHB) mRNA was evaluated in 4 independent cohorts in association with serum total and LDL cholesterol, and AT lipidomics. Longitudinally, the effects of statins and of diet and exercise on AT TSHB mRNA were also examined. The bidirectional relationship between cholesterol and TSHB were studied in isolated human adipocytes. TSHB mRNA was consistently detected in AT from euthyroid subjects, and positively associated with serum total- and LDL-cholesterol, and with AT-specific cholesterol metabolism-associated lipids [arachidonoyl cholesteryl ester, C8-dihydroceramide, N-stearoyl-d-sphingosine, and GlcCer(18:0, 24:1)]. Reduction of cholesterol with statins and with diet and exercise interventions led to decreased TSHB mRNA in human AT, whereas excess cholesterol up-regulated TSHB mRNA in human adipocytes. In addition, recombinant human TSH α/β administration resulted in increased HMGCR mRNA levels in human adipocytes. In mice, subcutaneous AT Tshb expression levels correlated directly with circulating cholesterol levels. In summary, current results provide novel evidence of TSHB as a paracrine factor that is modulated in parallel with cholesterol metabolism in human | 9chemistry

German film Getting My Brother Laid (aka Mein Bruder Der Vampir) was the big winner at the 6th edition of the Pucheon International Festival of Fantastic Film (PiFan) in South Korea.
The film, which won Sven Taddicken the best new director prize at the Hof Film Days and which took a FIPRESCI award at Rotterdam, is the story of a 14 year old girl and her handicapped brother and the girlfriend of their older brother.
In the short film section Salad Days, a romance between a fish and a mixed salad, took both the grand prize and the Citizen's Choice award. It was directed by Spain's Gustavo Salmeron. The jury prize went to The Pitch, a film about a desperate film-maker directed by Australia's Nash Edgerton.
The festival, which mixes up classic fantasy films, the horror genre and more commercial pictures which use unusual aesthetic values, was deemed a roaring success by festival director Kim Jong-Hoon. Speaking after the closing ceremony, but before the additional days set aside for audiences to catch up on missed screenings, Kim said that total spectator numbers would probably increase by 25% compared with last year. "The World Cup atmosphere of euphoria contributed to the festival. Young people wanted more. There was more audience participation and greater audience numbers."
Kim also noted that the festival is becoming increasingly local. "Our audience survey results have yet to be completed. But it seems clear that whereas in the early years of PiFan film buffs from all over the country came, Bucheon itself is providing greater audience numbers. We can see this from the help we have had in advance from the local citizens' support bodies." | 18entertainment

But since 1992, when our President agreed with other world leaders at the Earth Summit to reduce the dangerous level of greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. emissions have risen 15%.
We can expect that, as in the case of the Kyoto protocol, nations will not agree to any enforcement provisions in greenhouse gas emissions targets they accept in future agreements. Instead of endless negotiations to replace Kyoto when it expires, the U.S. should set an example by doing the many things for which we have the technology. A prompt and drastic increase in CAFE standards for vehicles, mandatory efficiency standards for appliances, and mandatory CO2 capture and underground storage (CCS) for new power plants are examples. We should supply IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) and CCS technologies and financial help to countries such as India and China for use in the many power plants they will be building.

Consider a class of MRFs,, on Recall that such MRFs have distributions such that, for any is conditionally independent of for such that given the random variables Thus, with every one can associate an undirected graph capturing the dependencies, called the Markov network structure of the distribution, , where The Ising model and the Gaussian MRF are instances of MRFs for binary and real-valued random variables, respectively, and are employed in a variety of applications.
An important problem in statistics is the inverse problem of determining the dependencies between a set of random variables given a set of samples drawn from their joint distributions. In the context of MRFs, letbe a class of MRFs as before, be parametrised by and the random vector be distributed according to . The inverse problem can be stated in two closely related ways - given i.i.d. samples , one may wish to either learn , which is the model selection problem, or to learn , which is the structure learning problem. These problems are typically studied in the “high-dimensional setting,” where
, that is, the number of samples is much smaller than the number of variables involved. A large body of work has focussed on constructing structure learning schemes for the Gaussian and Ising models, including algorithms and regularised estimators, with a particular focus on the technical conditions and the number of samples required for consistent learning (see[anandkumar2012high, meinshausen2006, ravikumar2010high] and references therein for the Gaussian MRF, and [montanari2009graphical, Bresler:2015:ELI:2746539.2746631, ravikumar2010high, anandkumar2012high_ising], and references therein for the Ising model). A relatively smaller set of papers has studied the hardness of structure learning in terms of simple graph properties, providing necessary and sufficient information-theoretic conditions on the number of samples required for reliable structure learning (see [WanWaiRam] and [SanWai, TandomShanmugamRavikumarDimakis] for the Gaussian and Ising MRFs, respectively).
Recently, the allied problem of change detection in MRFs has received attention. Let be some parametrised members of respectively. The basic question is whether, given samples , and samples one can estimate (structural change detection) or (general change detection) well. In the following, we concentrate on structural change detection, and largely suppress the adjective structural, since all results hold for the general problem as well (and also since including it makes for clunky prose). Structural change detection has both received practical interest, for instance in the study of controlled experiments [zhang2012learning]; in genetics [zhao2014direct, xia2015testing]; and in neuroscientific contexts [belilovsky2016testing], and theoretical interest focused on change detection algorithms along with the study of their sample complexities and consistency conditions [zhao2014direct, FazBan, liu2017, liu2017learning]. A related line of work is pursued in [daskalakis2016testing], which studies, amongst other things, the sample complexity of goodness of fit testing for Ising models under statistical measures of difference, i.e., given and where are Ising models, it studies the problem of estimating where is the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. We note that our proof technique also relies on analysing a goodness of fit test, but against structural distance measures.
In this paper, we take an information-theoretic approach to the change detection problem for the Ising and the Gaussian MRFs. Following the structure learning literature, we study the problem for the simple case of distributions that have Markov network structures with maximum degree bounded by , denoted , and study the same against a minimax risk of misdeclaring a change, or the lack thereof, which is denoted We allow Ising models where the non-zero are lower bounded by some and upper bounded by some , and Gaussian MRFs where the ratios of the non-zero off-diagonal entries to the corresponding diagonal entries are lower bounded by some . Our results provide lower bounds on the sample complexity in terms of and or , for any detection method that makes small, and use simple ensembles of possible changes to do so. Our proof technique is symmetric in the two datasets, and hence the results are lower bounds on . Interestingly, under mild conditions on the parameters, these bounds improve upon all the known lower bounds on the sample complexity of structure learning, and are at most separated from the sample complexity of the maximum likelihood structure learner. This suggests222but does not prove that, at least for the Ising and Gaussian MRFs on change detection is as hard, in terms of its data cost, as structure learning.
1.1 Comparison to Prior Work
Note that one can naively perform change detection by estimating the network structures of the distributions underlying the two sets of samples and comparing the same. This method is generally considered profligate, especially in the pratically important case where the underlying models might be dense, but the differences between them are small333All the applied work we have mentioned before falls into this category.. One possible justification for this comes from the compressed sensing literature, which has demonstrated that in certain model classes learning sparse changes between two models can be significantly more data efficient than learning either of the models. Thus, a widely believed “folk theorem” asserts the existence of schemes for change detection in the Ising and Gaussian MRFs that can handle wide ranges of model classes such that their sample requirements scale only with sparsity of the changes to be detected, rather than the complexity of the underlying models. The previous work mentioned, [zhao2014direct, FazBan, liu2017, liu2017learning], all develop algorithms that estimate certain functionals of the ratio of the probability densities of the underlying models via a regularised optimisation scheme, and detect change on the basis of this estimate with sample complexities that scale as , where . However, these results only hold under strong technical conditions, e.g. structural assumptions on the Fisher information matrices of the models considered, and as previously noted in [montanari2009graphical, anandkumar2012high], such conditions do not easily provide a clear description of which classes of graphs and models satisfy them in direct terms, that is, do not provide a non-trivial class such that these results hold for every . Further, as [Hein2016] points out for the case of Gaussian structure learning, such conditions can fail to hold in subtle ways for application relevant data.
The nature of our results is at odds with the conventional wisdom (e.g., the claims in[FazBan, liu2017learning]) that sparse changes can be easy to detect irrespective of the ranges underlying parameters and the graph classes they live in. We believe that this disconnect is because of the strictness of the conditions required for these results to hold, and the regimes they implicitly push the underlying models into. In particular, as previously noted, our lower bounds on sample complexity closely match all known lower bounds on structure learning in under mild conditions on the parameters. Crucially, the ensembles we construct to demonstrate these bounds have the sparsest possible changes - We note that this dependence on the parameters and is nontrivial - for instance, for the Ising model, if , then the sample complexity lower bound scales as , which is exponential in , and even if one is allowed to cherry pick to minimise the lower bound, one needs at least samples to detect change, irrespective of any incoherence or dependency conditions that may be imposed. For the Gaussian, our bound matches the scaling of the corresponding the structure learning bound. Since this is known to be tight up to constant factors in certain regimes, this shows that the naive scheme for change detection is minimax optimal in at least some contexts.
Lastly, our lower bounds on Ising model change detection sample complexity for structured models are actually stronger than those in [SanWai] in certain parameter regimes. Since change detection is reducible to structure learning, these are also new bounds for the latter. We further note that our proof technique, which is currently un-optimised, relies upon lower bounding the -distance of certain distributions, and thus differs from the Fano bounds of the previous literature. Since the technique is largely elementary and provides improvements on the previous results, it may be of independent interest and merit refinement.
Organisation: §2 defines the models considered, and precisely formulates the problem considered, while §3 states the results and compares them with previous work. §4 begins by laying out the common technical development involved in the proof, and follows this with the actual proofs.

2 Definitions and Problem Statement
We begin the paper with a bit of background on Markov random fields (MRFs) and a precise problem statement, which also serve to establish notation followed in the rest of the paper. Note that while we define the problem over a general MRF, our results are restricted to the Ising and the Gaussian MRFs. We define the problem thus since we develop a single technique for establishing lower bounds on the sample complexity and apply it parallely to both the models considered.
2.1 Markov Random Fields
Recall that an undirected finite simple graph consists of a finite vertex set , here identified with , and edge set which is a set of subsets of of cardinality . For , we let be the set of neighbours of , and the cardinality of is said to be the degree of . Lastly, for naturals we let be the set of graphs on vertices such that every node’s degree is no bigger than .
For a set an -valued Markov random field on a graph is a random vector such that for every , is conditionally independent of given . The graph
is said to be the Markov network structure of the Markov random field. We define a class of MRFs as a set of probability distributions, each of which is an MRF. For a class of MRFsand a family of graphs , is said to be a class of MRFs on if every MRF in has a Markov network structure contained in .
Given a graph and a vector such that , a -external field Ising model on with parameter is a -valued Markov random field with the distribution
where is a normalising constant commonly known as the partition function. We let be the set of Ising models on graphs in such that for every either , or holds. Note that every determines a network structure, which we refer to as .
Similarly, given a graph a symmetric, positive-definite matrix such that only if , the -mean Gaussian Markov Random Field on with parameter is the -valued Markov random field with the distribution
The matrix is known as the precision matrix of . Note that the Markov network structure of the distribution is determined by the non-zero entries of . For let be the set of Gaussian MRFs on graphs in with mean and precision matrix such that all diagonal entries are non-zero, and for every
We note here that the value of actually modulates the graphical structures allowed within . For instance, if we allow graphs such that even a single node may have neighbours in the Markov network structure of a distribution as above, then the condition of positivity of the precision matrices enforces , and if we allow the entirety of unrestrictedly, the condition is required.
Lastly, for the above classes of MRFs, we frequently describe distributions in terms of their Markov network structures. In particular, we say that a distribution has the edge with weight if for the Ising model, and if for the Gaussian MRF. If all the edges of a distribution have the same weight, we say that the distribution has uniform edge weights.
2.2 The Change Detection Problem
Let be a class of -valued Markov random fields with parameters , and let have parameters and respectively. Note that the distributions/parameters are unknown to us, and are potentially equal. For , let be its Markov network structure. We consider the structural change detection problem, which may be informally stated as follows: Given samples drawn according to independently and identically, and samples identically drawn according to independently of each other and of the other set of samples, can one determine if or not with high probability?
Formally, for -valued Markov random fields let and be finite sets of samples, also referred to as datasets, drawn independently and identically from and , respectively. An -change detector for is a map Let be the set of all -change detectors. Let the risk of a detector , be
and the minimax change detection risk with samples over the class be
Note that the above risk expressions are just the adaptation of the standard binary hypothesis testing risks to our situation.
We say that an -change detector is -reliable over the class if and say that the change detection problem can be solved over -reliably with samples if there exists an -change detector over that is -reliable or, equivalently, if The parameter is occasionally referred to as the reliability level.
The main aim of this paper is to study the trade-off between the reliability level of change detection over a given class of MRFs and the sample size In particular, we provide necessary conditions on for -reliable change detection with samples over the classes and in terms of their parameters.
3 Theorem Statements and Nature of Results
As previously noted, our results are necessary conditions on the number of samples required for to be smaller than a given . The results are stated in separate subsections for the Ising and the Gaussian MRFs, respectively. A discussion comparing the results to parallel results in structure learning follows the theorem statements, while proofs are relegated to later sections. C.f. §2 for precise definitions of the models and graph class considered.
3.1 Ising Model
Let For every a necessary condition for -reliable change detection with samples over is
Let and For every a necessary condition for -reliable change detection with samples over is
Proof sketch: While the exact proof is relegated to §4, we loosely detail the strategy here. Let , and let be a set of distributions such that Suppose we are given the information that the larger set of samples is drawn according to , while the second set is either drawn from some or drawn from
. We have thus reduced the change detection problem to running a hypothesis test on the smaller dataset, with the simple null hypothesis that the same is drawn from, and the composite alternate that it is drawn according to some . Suppose further that we are supplied with a prior, for the selection on . Clearly, the average risk of the hypothesis testing problem under the prior would be a lower bound for the minimax change detection risk. However, since the uniformly most powerful tests for such problems are known by the classical results of Neyman & Pearson, we can compute lower bounds on these average risks. In particular, we do this by applying a variation of Le Cam’s method, as outlined in [arias-castro2012], and with a uniform prior on
We call the pair a change detection ensemble. The ensembles used to derive the above bounds are as follows.
Theorem 1a: is the Ising model with no edges on nodes, and is the collection of Ising models with exactly one edge with edge weight
Theorem 1b: is the Ising model with uniform edge weight on separate cliques of size each, while is the collection of Ising models on the same graph as but with one known edge from exactly one of the cliques deleted, again with uniform weight
We note that the above proof technique directly allows us to state our results as structure learning bounds in the context of the recovery criterion defined in [SanWai] as well, as will be discussed in §4.
Remark: The ensemble used for the proof of Theorem 1b most likely does not satisfy the conditions required in work such as [FazBan] or [liu2017]. This is because these papers all require an ‘incoherence condition’, and, as pointed out in [montanari2009graphical], these conditions essentially hold only if for some , while we need for the results to follow.
3.1.1 Remarks, and comparison with structure learning bounds
In the high-dimensional setting, one considers the behaviour of these bounds for large . The above bounds above can be interpreted in three different contexts depending on which of the model parameters are allowed to change. In the following we set in order to discuss conditions necessary to beat a random coin, and is some arbitrary quantity that depends only on the non-changing parameters.
If the parameters are given constants, then change detection requires at least samples from each dataset to detect changes.
If we hold as constants, and allow to grow with , then for sufficiently large , one needs samples from each dataset to detect changes.
If we allow and as well as to change with , then unless decays with we are forced into the exponential growth in regime. Suppose we impose the requirement that the bounds grow at most polynomially in . This can be done essentially by limiting for any constant , which limits the second bound, although since must hold, this affects the first bound as well. Optimising for the which gives the lowest net growth, we get that in any scenario of parameter growth, we need at least samples from each data set to detect changes.
We compare the bounds of Theorem 3.1 with two results due to Santhanam & Wainwright. Note that the statements have been modified to fit our notation.
First we consider the necessary condition:
Theorem [SanWai, Thm. 1].
Consider for If the structure learning probability of error is smaller than then following condition on the number of samples, , is necessary
Theorem 1a is the direct analogue of the first bound, and Theorem 1b is the direct analogue of the second bound. The third bound is only active when all parameters are held constant, and even then is inactive for , and thus left largely unconsidered by us. However, the other two terms are weaker than Theorem 3.1 in the regime in which the latter hold. In particular, if and , Theorem 1b has an advantage of essentially which is unbounded in for Note that while the requirement for our second bound to hold may seem more stringent than the condition in [SanWai], in the regime , the bound dominates the exponential bound in both cases, and thus this distinction is rendered moot. Lastly, observe that if we force and to decay in a manner that allows at most polynomial growth with , we see that structure learning requires samples as in our case.
In the same paper, Santhanam & Wainwright also show ([SanWai, Theorem 3a)]) that if the edge weights are given, it is possible to learn the structure with samples for
Ignoring the terms, the result above is separated from our lower bound by a factor of Now if and are at most polynomial in then this factor is at most polynomial in , which is neglegible compared to the exponential in scaling forced under . Since our bounds are computed with a change ensemble where we are aware of the edge weights, the closeness of these bounds implies that our technique cannot yield significantly stronger lower bounds in this regime. Lastly, recall that our change detection bounds can also be stated as structure learning bounds. Thus, our results close the exponential gap in the structure learning lower bounds of [SanWai], which has persisted through all subsequent work on structure learning.
3.2 Gaussian MRFs
Let . For every a necessary condition for -reliable change detection with samples over is
Remark: As mentioned before, controls the richness of the Markov network structures within that are allowed, essentially since the two together determine the positivity of certain precision matrices in the class. In particular, if we allow even a single node to have neighbours, as we rightly should when considering models in , then is forced, and if regular graphs are allowed, then is imposed. In light of this, the condition on in the theorem statement is fairly benign. For instance, enforcing for already gives us
As in the Ising case, the bound is proved by considering an explicitly stated restricted class of changes, and bounding the risk for them. Curiously, while we obtain the above bound by considering a simple ensemble of changes of the form independent versus one-edge, essentially the same result can be obtained up to constant factors444 and subject to the conditions that allow these ensembles to exists, in more richly connected classes of ensembles - for instance, by using repetitions as in §4.4.2 of the star graph versus the star graph with one edge moved, or the complete graph versus the same with a known edge missing. This suggests that there might be some uniformity to the hardness of structure learning/change detection in Gaussian MRFs.
Comparing the above bound to the corresponding structure learning bound, we note the following result of Wang, Wainwright, and Ramchandran, stated in our notation.
Theorem [WanWaiRam, Thm. 1].
Consider the class with . A necessary condition for asymptotically555as grows large reliable structure learning over this class is
Note that the first term in the expression above dominates the second when which, by the previous argument, is the range of in which at least one node can be connected to other nodes in the Markov network structure of the graph. Thus, our lower bound matches the structure learning lower bound in the parameter region relevant for . We note that this bound is near tight - for instance [anandkumar2012high] achieves, under technical conditions, structure learning for Gaussian MRFs with sample complexity .
We begin by detailing the general proof technique that we use, followed by the proofs of Theorems 1a and 2, which are of the same flavour, and are rather simple. The proof of Theorem 1b is relatively more involved and follows these sections.
4.1 Lower Bounding Technique
We first note that any lower bound on sample complexities to achieve a given risk level must hold for both and , since merely switching the labels of the two sets of samples should not affect anything. We hence set , and derive lower bounds on by considering simpler hypothesis testing problems. In the following, denotes a random sample from the dataset with the smaller number of samples.
Recall the proof strategy described after the statement of Theorem 3.1. Continuing in the same vein, we consider the average risk for the hypothesis testing problem
under the uniform prior on . Recall that the average risk under this prior must be smaller than .
By the results of Neyman & Pearson [lehmann2006testing, Ch. 3], we know that the most powerful tests for the above hypothesis test are of the form
where is a positive real number, and
is the likelihood ratio of the distribution versus a distribution uniformly at random from set . We refer to as the likelihood ratio of versus .
Note that for discrete distributions such as the Ising model, and for distributions which admit a density with respect to a Euclidean space, such as the Gaussian, we have , where and denote the respective densities.
Our main technical tool is captured by the following lemma, which allows us to compute lower bounds on required for
to be small by computing upper bounds on the variance offor well-chosen and .
Let be a class of MRFs. For every such that , and , if is the -sample likelihood ratio of versus then
For notational brevity, we let
Let be the optimal average risk for the above test with samples when is picked uniformly at random from . By the previous discussion,
Since the proof concludes with a simple manipulation of the above inequality. ∎
Remark: The above proof technique can also be applied to obtain structure learning bounds. In particular, suppose we have access to a structure learning algorithm that uniformly over all distributions in identifies the correct structure with probability greater than . Then, for such that for all , and under the distribution the above hypothesis test can be solved with probability of error smaller than by learning the structure of the distributions. However, this must exceed . Thus, all our change detection bounds, which rely on bounding , can be converted to structure learning bounds by doubling the reliability level.
4.2 Proof of Theorem 1a
Let be the Ising model with no edges on nodes, and let be the Ising model with weight on the edge and no other edges. We let the class , and consider the change detection ensemble . Lastly, we set Note that the n-sample likelihood ratio is
In order to apply Lemma 3, we need to compute the quantity Let . We note that for , , since is just
independent Bernoulli distributions together, we have
where the equality is since each of the samples are independent and have the distribution , and
comes from feeding in the moments computed before. Plugging equationinto the condition imposed by Lemma 3 we get that if the risk is smaller than then we must have
We conclude by noting that and that we may set .
4.3 Proof of Theorem 2
This result essentially follows the same arguments as in the proof of Theorem 1a. We identify the distributions of the Gaussian MRFs with their precision matrices. Let be the Gaussian MRF on nodes with no edges and unit variance, be the unit variance Gaussian MRF on nodes with the single edge with edge weight s.t. , and For convenience, we let be the matrix with the and entries equal to , and all other entries . Note that the precision matrices are and .
Again, consider the likelihood ratio. We have
We first require a few computations. For convenience, let and let and be naturals in
- simply observe that the matrix is similar to the block diagonal matrix and thus the determinant is the product of and .
since this is similar to
If , then since the two s each contribute separate blocks of .
If , then , since this matrix is similar to where
We are now in a position to bound . The first few steps are parallel to the Ising model case, and are omitted.
where is due to the Gaussian integral, and the final equality is by simple counting. Note first that . Since we are looking for an upper bound, we will set . We thus have
Taking logarithms, we directly have that for every
The stated result follows on noting that for 666This inequality can be shown for by a standard positivity of derivative argument, and can be readily shown for by any numerical equation solver., and since if we may set above. Note that the quadratic denominator in is retained as long as is bounded away from , although with a graceful weakening of the constants invovlved.
4.4 Proof of Theorem 1b
To begin with, we will prove a likelihood ratio upper bound for a specific change detection ensemble on the graph class . We will next show a technique that allows us to obtain a closely related bound on the graph class , and follow this by a small section concluding the proof.
4.4.1 A likelihood ratio bound
Let be the Ising model with uniform edge weight on the graph , the complete graph on nodes. Note that each node in has degree . Similarly, let be the Ising model with uniform edge weight on the graph i.e., the same graph as but with one edge deleted. We let be the partition function for , and be the partition function for .
Arithmetical manipulations show that for
We thus have
We first compute a bound on the sample likelihood ratio for versus , denoted . Observe that
and we thus need a bound on . This is the subject of the following lemma, the proof of which is relegated to the appendix.
If and then
4.4.2 Lifting results on nodes to nodes
Let be a MRF on variables such that , and be the MRF obtained by eliminating the dependence in between and , i.e, clipping one edge from with no change in the rest of the graph. Suppose that we have an estimate for the likelihood ratio variance of the form
where is some positive function.
Let and consider the graph on nodes consisting of singletons, and non-trivial completely connected components, each of which has exactly nodes. Observe that , where for | 37mathematics

Kashmere has competed in Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Unplugged, Combat Zone Wrestling, Assault Championship Wrestling, Premier Wrestling Federation, NWA New Jersey and in Japan, Central America, Europe and Alaska. In 2001, Kashmere dropped out of Philadelphia University to begin his Japan Tours for Big Japan Pro Wrestling. In Japan, Kashmere was featured in multiple issues of Baseball Magazine's national wrestling publications and was a special guest on a nationally televised talk show. Nationally ranked in Pro Wrestling Magazine's Top 500 wrestlers in the world 9 out of 13 years that he competed in the ring. After leaving Ring of Honor and CZW in 2003, Kashmere began promoting Pro Wrestling Unplugged in Philadelphia and successfully ran over a hundred events in the Philly area and many were at the former ECW arena. Kashmere has appeared on WWE Monday Night Raw, MTV, WWE Sunday Night Heat, Japan's Samurai TV, TNA Pay-Per-View, and many Philadelphia area local news segments. The BackSeat Boyz were assembled by NWA New Jersey writer Donnie B who also became their manager both on the road and in NWA. Under Donnie's tutelage, Acid and Kashmere were hired by ECW to start in April, but ECW went out of business in February so they never debuted on ECW TV. When his longtime tag team partner, Trent Acid, died Kashmere organized and ran "The Acid Fest" at the former ECW Arena. The Acid Fest was a benefit event to assist in paying for Trent's burial services. Kashmere was trained by ECW Stars "The Pittbulls" in South Philadelphia in 1999. Kashmere hung up his boots following his last match at The Acid Fest and returned to college to pursue a computer science degree. Today Kashmere is graduating with two degrees and beginning his career in the IT field and working on his post grad degrees. He plans on running events in the future once school is behind him.

These plumes are loaded with tiny particles that act as magnets for water droplets sitting in clouds — the more smoky particles ejected into the sky, the more rain comes down.
So, researchers assumed that more wildfires equal more rainfall. But a new study flipped those assumptions upside down. Turns out, the murky relationship between wildfire smoke and cloud formation only holds true for clouds high in the atmosphere.
For those closer to the ground, the mingling of smoky particles may actually make it less likely that rain will fall, triggering a cascade of reactions that fuel instead of calm fire activity on land, particularly in the Western U.S.
The study was published July 26 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
“As humans have perturbed the composition of the atmosphere, there are all these feedbacks and interactions that we don’t even know about. This experiment we’re doing on planet Earth is altering clouds and the hydrologic cycle, at least regionally,” Ann Marie Carlton, an atmospheric chemist at the University of California-Irvine who was not involved in the new study, said in a statement. “I think this paper is scratching the surface of what we don’t know. … To have cloud-related findings so robust is sort of unusual, in my experience.”
Clouds are notoriously difficult to study. Part of the problem is that scientists don’t have historical data on how they used to behave during the preindustrial era, unlike they do for greenhouse gases preserved in ice core bubbles, trees and fossils. The rest lies in how complex it is to simulate clouds in scientific models that help us better understand their composition and activity.
So, Cynthia Twohy, an atmospheric scientist at NorthWest Research Associates and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with a team spent the summer of 2018 sampling mid-altitude altocumulus clouds while soaring above the western U.S. in a research plane as wildfires raged.
Special instruments on board measured gases, wildfire particles and cloud droplets; the team then analyzed their chemistry in a lab.
They found that clouds hovering above wildfires contained about five times the number of droplets than clouds free of smoky particles, yet the droplets were half the size of those in their “clean” counterparts.
This unexpected size difference, researchers say, is what could determine if we will experience a downpour or a meaningless drizzle.
Smaller droplets are less likely to grow into heavier ones that will eventually fall as rain, meaning wildfire seasons could be exacerbated by drier conditions on land that ultimately fuel more and larger blazes.
It’s a concerning finding given the area wildfires burn in the Western U.S. has increased in recent years and is predicted to grow as temperatures rise. New data released Friday shows July was the hottest month ever recorded in Earth’s history.
But it’s not all that bad, Twohy said, noting that the study can help future research in the field.
She hopes these findings will “spur detailed regional modeling studies that will help us understand the net impact of smoke on clouds and climate in the region.” | 4atmospheric_science

The Italian car maker, Alfa Romeo, began making the Giulietta in 1954 and continued production through 1965. The Guilietta underwent a number of changes throughout its lifespan and brought to market a handful of models to suit many preferences. The first Giulietta to be released was a coupe known as the Giulietta Sprint, which was introduced in late 1954. This release was trailed by the release of a sedan in spring 1955. Very quickly thereafter, in mid 1955, the open two-seat Giulietta Spider, presenting a convertible bodywork by Pininfarina was released as well. With a 1290 cc engine, a light alloy cylinder block and twin overhead camshafts, the Giulietta was sure to please drivers. Through the years the power output of the original Giulietta (of 65 PS) was increased to 100 PS, which could be found in following models such as the Giulietta Sprint Speciale and the Giulietta Sprint SZ (Sprint Zagato). The Giulietta marked a historic point in Alfa Romero's history in that they were the first truly mass-produced vehicles that the company manufactured. After the end of World War II, Alfa Romeo manufactured limited numbers of 6C and 8C vehicles in a factory that was riddled with damage resulting from the bombings that took place in the tumultuous years that preceded. Granted, the cars they were making were exceptional in quality, they had no real chance of competing in the marketplace with such a high price tag. The automobile industry had shifted to widespread ownership of cars, which would only have been possible given much lower price tags. Not surprisingly, Alfa Romeo was only able to produce 1600 cars in a five year span between 1945 and1950. After overcoming this shortfall in production ability, Alfa Romeo released the Nuova Giulietta in 1977. It is important though to note, that this model was not based off the Giulietta as the name would imply, but rather a re-creation of the Alfa Romeo Alfetta. | 27history

"Searching for Planet X"
Since beginning my PhD thesis in 1995, my research has focused on the formation of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, and the formation of planets around these objects. Why are these topics important? One of the highest priorities for research in the astronomical community is the study of star and planet formation (NRC, 2010). By bridging the gap between them, brown dwarfs can provide insight into the formation of both stars and planets. In addition, low-mass stars and brown dwarfs are valuable laboratories for planet formation because the former are the most common stars in the Galaxy while the latter offer an opportunity to test theories of planet formation in an extreme environment.
I have studied the formation of stars, brown dwarfs, and planets primarily through optical and infrared observations with ground- and space-based telescopes. The central component of my research has consisted of systematic searches for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the nearest star-forming regions (age<10 Myr, d=150-450 pc). I have used these surveys to measure the low-mass initial mass function (IMF) and to provide targets for followup observations of various aspects of young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, such as their circumstellar disks and multiplicity. In addition to work on young objects, I have searched for very cool brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood, both free floating and as companions to nearby stars.

Consistency and Strong Scoring Across all Categories for Cary
The rankings for Best Cities to Buy a Home in the U.S. show two major areas of analysis. From this research, a “total score” is then compiled. In comparing 300 cities across America, the personal finance experts from Business Insider looked to said two areas. These were, local real estate market and affordability and economic environment.
Looking at nearly 25 metrics within those two subject areas ranging from job growth to home price appreciation, each municipality scores of scale of 1-100. (100 being a “perfect” score) This score determined the final rankings of places to Buy a Home in the U.S.
A Booming Market can be Misleading
The experts at Business Insider explain that currently, “the real estate market is soaring.” While this sounds wonderful, the article featuring the Best Cities to Buy a Home in the U.S. tells a different tale.
“Falling unemployment rates and rising housing prices have led to a thriving market,” it reads. “However, rising mortgage rates mean less affordable homes.” Using the website Wallethub to help accumulate their final tally, Business Insider blogger, Hillary Hoffower further explains where the Best Cities to Buy a House in the U.S. are and why.
Where and Why are these the Best Places to Buy a Home???
“So, where are the best places to buy a house?” Hoffower continues, “the answer is about more than square footage and architectural style. It’s also about how healthy the local housing market is and whether people living there can actually afford to buy homes.” Cary was listed in the top ten of both areas used for the rankings among all 300 U.S. cities analyzed. The town had a final overall score just two points behind the number one city on the poll.
Cary, NC Rankings for Best Cities to Buy a Home in the U.S. Poll
- • Real Estate Market: 7 (out of 300)
- • Affordability and Economic Environment: 3 (out of 300)
- • Total Score: 71.07 (Top Score was 73.68)

Distributed storage systems
We are pushing the limits of today’s distributed storage systems on several fronts. Scatter, a scalable peer-to-peer key-value storage system, preserves serializable consistency even under adverse conditions. Comet is a distributed key-value store that lets clients inject snippets of code into storage elements, creating an active key-value store that greatly increases the power and range of applications that use distributed storage applications.

UTRANAZZ, the concrete equipment specialists, have supplied Isle of Wight-based house builders Shorefix (IOW) Ltd with an HM12H-E volumetric concrete mixer truck.
According to Shorefix, it is the first volumetric mixer on the Isle of Wight and the company will be the only island-based liquid screed contractor supplying and installing screed. The mixer truck will also be used to produce concrete on Shorefix’s own housing projects across the island.
Rob Bradley, director of Shorefix, explained: ‘The mixer will predominantly be used to produce Gypsol anhydrite liquid screed and will provide us with flexible on-site mixing, allowing us to stop and start our projects as needed. We can produce liquid screed for flooring, then change the design mix and switch to concrete, all on the same job site.’
Mr Bradley added: ‘We took advantage of Utranazz’s hire-with-option-to-purchase scheme, so we could try out the mixer before we committed to purchase it.’ | 11civil_engineering

It can be seen on the back windows of utes, flying above the town hall in Ballarat and tattooed to the necks, backs and biceps of thousands of Australians. But who has the right to use the Eureka flag?
The question has become part of the upcoming election campaign, with the Australian Workers' Union urging electoral authorities to prevent the far-right Australia First Party from using the Eureka image as its logo on the Senate ballot paper.
The AWU claims the Eureka flag is central to "working class values" and the union movement and should not be allowed to be "hijacked" to push the nationalism and anti-multiculturalism of Australia First.
On Wednesday, Australia First, led by Jim Saleam, issued a statement saying: "Bring it on! We are keen that the culture war over the flag be waged."
Two of the party's eight core policies are to reduce and limit immigration and abolish multiculturalism.
Australia First said it plans to use the Eureka flag as a "sign of its commitment to Australia's identity, independence and freedom" and pointed out that a similar flag was raised during anti-Chinese riots at Lambing Flat in NSW in 1861 and by seamen who stormed NSW Parliament in 1878 to protest against cheap imported labour on ships.
But the flag, first flown by anti-establishment miners at Bakery Hill near Ballarat before British troops killed 25 of the rebels in an armed confrontation, is also claimed by the left.
Italian miner Raffaello Carboni said when the flag was unfurled in 1854: "I call on all miners irrespective of nationality, religion or colour to salute the Southern Cross as a refuge of the oppressed from all countries on earth."
In a letter to the Australian Electoral Commission, AWU national secretary Scott McDine said the flag should not be free to be registered as a political logo.
"For the Australia First Party to attempt to hijack the Eureka Flag is offensive to all trade unionists past and present. It is a clear attempt for a fringe party of questionable value to associate itself with Australia's greatest founding institution – the union movement," he said.
"The use of the Eureka Flag would represent a deliberate attempt to mislead voters that the Australia First Party is somehow aligned to the values of the Australian Workers' Union and the broader union movement. This should not be allowed by the AEC."
A similar flag was flown above the shearers' strike camp at Barcaldine in Queensland in 1891 - a key event in the formation of the union movement.
The Builders Labourers Federation, one of the forerunners of the CFMEU, adopted the Eureka flag and it is permanently flown over Trades Hall in Melbourne.
The AEC can refuse to register a logo of a political party if it is "obscene; or so nearly resembles the logo of any other person that it is likely to be confused with or mistaken for that logo." | 53politics

The sensor data can be viewed locally from the sensor’s web server on your web browser, downloaded through the API, or accessed directly by removing the sensor’s SD card, without need for any additional software or service.
No. ExpressSense provides the Alert service free of charge to all sensor customers.
The only time a sensor sends information to ExpressSense is to issue an email/text Alert, in response to your programmed detection limits. This transfer of information is necessary in order to for the ExpressSense server to generate the actual email and text messages that will be sent to the email address and phone number that you have associated with your account. The sensor information sent to ExpressSense is only Serial Number, Sensor Name, Alert Key, Sensor ID, a single Sensor Value, and Time&Date stamp. Other than email log files, the only portion of this information kept by ExpressSense is the Sensor Name associated with the Sensor’s Serial Number to provide the sensor owner easy identification of units when managing Alerts.
Yes. If the Alerts checkbox is unchecked, no Sensor data will be sent to ExpressSense. If Alerts are not desired, there is no need to register an account with ExpressSense
Firstly, it must be understood that email and text messages are NOT secure protocols, that email and text message data are sent is un-encrypted formats, and are subject to interception.
That being said, Alerts only contain very limited information (Serial Number, Sensor Name, Sensor ID, a single Sensor Value, and Time&Date stamp). To receive Alerts, owners register their sensor with ExpressSense using the sensor’s serial number, to which ExpressSense provides the owner a unique Alert Key. The sensor owner, having network access to their sensor, programs the Alert Key into the sensor. When the sensor issues an Alert message to the ExpressSense server, the sensor sends its serial number and alert key. Only one owner account can match both the serial number and alert key. The server then locates the matching account using the sensor serial number and alert key, and then sends the Alert email/text message to the owner’s address/phone number. Even if another party accidentally or intentionally registers an existing serial number, they cannot alter the Alert Key on your unit, and therefore will never receive emails/texts with data from your unit.
All ExpressSensors sensors are to be installed on a company’s local network, isolated from the regular internet by a firewall. Third parties are blocked from accessing your network by the firewall and your facility’s physical security. Users within your network access the sensor from their computer’s web browser via HTTP, exactly like they would access an intranet web-server. User’s wishing to access sensors from remote locations (physically outside your local network) must first access the company’s local network by VPN (virtual private network). Sensor to web-browser traffic is then protected by the encryption algorithm of the VPN connection.
No, MINX is itself a web-server and it sends your web-browser the instructions and data to generate your control charts. There is therefore no software to install!
MINX sensors are calibrated at the ExpressSense factory. Sensors can be returned to the factory for annual calibration. Contact the factory for pricing information.
MINX sensor maximum operating temperature is specified at 65C and is limited by the capability of commercially available SD cards. Installation of MINX to any environment must not exceed an ambient temperature of 65C.
Yes, MINX will operate without any network connection, though the email/text Alerts service cannot function without a network connection. ExpressSense recommends that MINX first be connected a computer or network for initial setup (i.e. set Sensor Name, current Time, etc). MINX may then be installed in its final location and solely powered using a cat5 cable and the provided POE injector. After connecting power, MINX will log sensor data and triggers. Logging may be stopped by pressing the MINX control button. The sensor data can be accessed by removing the SD card. Re-installing the SD card will automatically re-start the logging function. Logging activity can be verified by the blink pattern of the MINX LED.
MINX does not include its own WiFi radio. For applications where wired ethernet connection to a network is not practical, MINX may be connected to a WiFi network using a ‘Wireless Bridge’ (e.g. Dlink). Alternatively, in certain environments, a ‘PowerLine’ adapter may be used to connect MINX to a network using the existing 120V wiring system.
MINX’s optical sensor has a maximum range of 2m and when no target is present within 2m, an error message will be displayed. If you are not using the optical sensor, to simply prevent the error message, you can cover the optical sensor with tape.
Whenever Trigger conditions are met, an entry is made in the Trigger History Log file on the SD card, regardless of whether or not an Alert is to be generated. This Trigger History provides a convenient way to recognize that an interesting event has occurred, and will reduce your need to ‘search’ through hours of data to visually check for such events. Recall that by double clicking on an Event in the TriggerHistory window, the control chart will be automatically zoomed to the time/date of the event.
If the manually downloaded csv data is not convenient, ExpressSense offers an API to allow your custom software to directly access a MINX sensor. Contact ExpressSense for details.
ExpressSense is constantly seeking to improve MINX. If you have an idea for a new feature, mode of operation, etc. please call us or send us [email protected] a note! | 12communication_engineering

Ever puzzled by seeing sumac in an ingredients list or on a restaurant menu? Here's how to use it.
WHAT IS SUMAC?
Sumac is a spice or, perhaps more accurately, a souring agent, made from the dried fruit of Rhus coriaria, a straggly shrub native to southern Europe and Turkey. The rusty red powder is widely used in Middle Eastern and North African cooking, where it is much esteemed for its sourness and astringency.
Premium-quality sumac is made from the seeded, dried and ground sumac fruit, while cheaper grades include the ground seeds and are conspicuously gritty as a result. Whole dried sumac is available too, but it must be ground before use or steeped in hot water (rather like tamarind), then strained to extract flavour.
The name sumac is loosely applied to many related plants, including a number of common ornamental species grown in New Zealand. However, many so-called sumacs are toxic and should not be confused with the true culinary version. Rhus coriaria plants do not exist in New Zealand (although I welcome correction on the subject), but would thrive in some districts.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
Very sour and astringent, with a vaguely metallic, wine-like flavour.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
Sumac is available from specialist delicatessens, food emporiums, Indian spice shops and at some supermarkets.
GOT ANY GOOD RECIPES USING IT?
This spicy sumac celery salt evolved in my kitchen. Use it as a dry rub for roasted and barbecued meats (particularly good with chicken), grilled fish or sprinkled over pizza bread.
In a mortar and pestle pound 1 Tbsp Sumac with 1 Tbsp celery seeds that have been lightly toasted first in a dry pan with 1/4 cup sea salt and dried chilli powder to taste. For a warm, orangey edge, add 1/2 tsp toasted coriander seeds.
Less is always more with sumac. Used deftly it brings mysterious subtlety and a flavour that's alluringly out of reach in terms of naming it. Used to excess, sumac is wincingly sour and harsh. | 22food

AFSCME filed the lawsuit initially in June of 2008 to determine finally whether or not the Governor has any basis in law to mandate the furlough of state workers in the event of a budget impasse. AFSCME contends that the Governor is not required by any federal or state law to furlough workers if a new budget is not enacted by July 1, and in fact may continue to pay the wages and salaries of all employees during the impasse.
“What we have here is governance by extortion,” Piccola said. “For the past six years, the Governor has used furloughs as a tool for leverage during budget negotiations to strong-arm the General Assembly into agreeing with unrelated legislative proposals. The Senate State Government Committee, which I chair, held a public hearing on this very issue. It was revealed conclusively that the Governor’s decision to furlough employees is not based on any law.”
“Senator Piccola and I strongly support AFSCME’s position in this matter,” Senate Labor & Industry Committee Chairman Gordner said. “That was why we felt compelled to file the amicus brief. The Governor, regardless of which political party that holds the office, should not be able to use state workers as pawns during budget or other legislative discussions.”
Piccola is the prime-sponsor of AFSCME-supported Senate Bill 1122, which prohibits the furlough of state employees by designating all state workers as “essential” employees. The bill passed the Senate unanimously on February 8, 2008, only to be stopped dead in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on June 16, 2008.
“Furloughs are entirely at his discretion,” Piccola continued. “The Governor cannot claim that he was forced into furloughing 25,000 state workers, most of whom reside in my district, based on law. To continue to do so is irresponsible, unethical, and laughs in the face of the workers of this Commonwealth.”
“We look forward to the ruling of the Supreme Court,” Gordner concluded. | 53politics

No problem. Here are the 10 great fights from the 1980s
The COVID-19 crisis has put the sports world on hiatus until further notice. No basketball. No baseball. And no boxing.
But the “Sweet Science” rivals any sport when it comes to a classic past. And being that you might be searching for things to do over the next few weeks, a little fisticuffs might be in order.
Here then is a series looking at some personal favorites over the past 40 years — including some that might have gone under the radar. We start with the 1980s. See related videos online.
Want more news like this? Click here to subscribe to elpasotimes.com.
1980: Matthew Saad Muhammad TKO 14 Álvaro "Yaqui" López, retains WBC light heavyweight title, McAfee, New Jersey: López, possibly the best fighter to never win a world title, outworks the champ early and has him out on his feet in the eighth after a blistering flurry. But he can’t put “Miracle Matthew” away, he starts to fade and falls six rounds later.
1981: William "Caveman" Lee KO 5 John LoCicero, middleweights. One of the hallmark moments of the old ESPN Top Rank Boxing series, round five of this old-fashioned brawl will live forever as LoCicero rises from the deck and tears into the Kronk Gym’s Caveman before getting knocked out himself. The ring, the crowd, the ref and the fight are very Rocky-esque.
1982: Wilfredo Gomez TKO 14 Lupe Pintor, retains WBC junior featherweight title, New Orleans: The only reason this wasn’t fight of the year was because the first Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello battle was three weeks earlier. This battle between Hall of Famers, though, might be better, as Puerto Rico’s Gomez rejects the challenge of Mexico’s Pintor, a dominant bantamweight who was rising in weight. Amazingly, this wasn’t even the main event.
1983: Bobby Chacon W 12 Cornelius Boza-Edwards, retains WBC junior lightweight title, Las Vegas. Chacon, bleeding everywhere, continues one of boxing’s most improbable comebacks after the shocking suicide of his wife a year earlier, outlasting his rival in a classic rematch. Final tally: Chacon down once, Boza-Edwards down three times, including incredible final round.
1984: Carlos Santos W 15 Mark Medal, wins IBF junior middleweight title, New York City. In a fight that one publication noted was the least likely candidate for Fight of the Year, defending champ Medal and former title challenger Santos take turns rocking and dropping each other and do indeed put on the Fight of the Year.
1985: Lee Roy Murphy KO 12 Chisanda Mutti, retains IBF cruiserweight title, Monaco. Remember how the double knockdown in “Rocky II” was so unbelievable? Well, not so unbelievable. Real life imitates reel life in the 12th round, as defending champ Murphy (Rocky) gets up in time, and challenger Mutti (Apollo) does not.
1986: Alexis Arguello TKO 4 Bill Costello, welterweights, Reno, Nevada. In his first major fight since losing for a second time to Aaron Pryor, the great Arguello comes out of retirement and looks old and slow before — bang! — a big right hand catches Costello on the chin. Arguello finishes it moments later in the last big win of his career.
1987: Julio César Chávez TKO 11 Edwin Rosario, wins WBA lightweight title, Las Vegas: Chávez, moving up from 130 to 135 pounds and challenging the hardest-hitting opponent of his career, puts on the performance of a lifetime. “El Gran Campeon Mexicano” conducts an infighting clinic, meticulously breaking down the gutsy Rosario before the fight is stopped.
1988: Iran "The Blade" Barkley TKO 5 Michael "The Silk" Olajide, middleweights, New York City. A battle between the two — one a straight-ahead brawler and the other a slick boxer — erupts into a brawl as “The Blade” is down once and “The Silk” is down twice before Barkley finishes it, earning a title shot against Thomas Hearns.
1989: Lupe Gutierrez W 12 Jeff Franklin, junior lightweights, Reno, Nevada. Fought on the Hector Camacho-Ray Mancini undercard, Gutierrez and Franklin steal the show, going toe-to-toe for 12 incredible rounds. Gutierrez gets a split decision. The 12th round is one to remember, and the crowd erupts at the bell. | 58sports

The full range of tests provided can be found in the VIDRL Test Handbook.
Virus detection is mainly carried out using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays, several of which are multiplexed (Druce 2002). For example, the herpesvirus multiplex assay is able to simultaneously detect HSV-1, HSV-2, CMV and VZV. The respiratory virus PCR detects influenza viruses (types A and B), RSV, parainfluenza viruses (types 1, 2 and 3), adenoviruses, rhinoviruses (and enteroviruses), coronaviruses and human metapneumovirus.
All PCR assays used in the laboratory have undergone extensive validation and incorporate internal controls to verify nucleic acid extraction and detect inhibitors of PCR amplification. A charge is made for most of the PCR assays provided by the laboratory.
Other activities undertaken in the Virus Identification Laboratory involve those associated with its state, national or WHO related responsibilities. Scientists in the laboratory are directly involved in the running of the National High Security Quarantine Laboratory and the WHO Measles Reference Laboratory.
The laboratory also has the designation of a National Influenza Centre within the WHO Global Influenza Program.
As well as its diagnostic function, the Virus Identification Laboratory has an ongoing research and development program. The program covers
- the study of mechanisms of drug resistance acquired by HSV
- the changing epidemiology of genital HSV infection
- molecular characterisation of human coronaviruses
- investigations of the stability of viruses under physical and chemical conditions | 39medical

The tree can’t talk and tell you what they need and when they need it so they are made to work with what they have. Trees are a very complex thing and know when the time is right to go dormant and the time to grow. The trees use the air, water and sun that they get naturally and also through the care of people to grow and flourish. If the right amount of care is not given the tree may not reach its potential and possibly even die. A big part of a tree’s health is the weather and the seasons. Depending on the temperature and the weather based on the time of year the tree may start to grow or it can lay low and go into a state of dormancy. How does a tree know what the best time of year it is to start their growing process? It has a lot to do with the amount of sun and the temperatures that each day reaches.
Milam’s Tree Service List the Factors That Wake Up A Tree And Tell it to Start to Grow.
Temperature Affects Plant Growth: The most important part of a trees growth has to do with the temperature outside. When the temperature is too low the tree will not reach the required degree to wake it up and start to grow. That is why during the fall and the winter you will not see trees growing and most of the time they don’t even have leaves on them. The moment that the spring weather sets in that trees start up again. The temperature will be warm enough to allow the tree to use the nutrients to grow and this is when you will see new branches, leaves, fruit and flowers.
Trees Grow When the Days Are Longer: Another important aspect to the growth of a tree is the amount of sun that it gets throughout a specific day. During the winter, the day is short and the sun is not out for a long time. When the spring and the summer set in the day is longer and the sun is out for more hours in a day. That is what the trees need to really take up height and reach for the skies.
Milam’s Tree Service offers tree care in McDonough, Jackson, Jonesboro, Fayetteville & Hampton as well as Fayette, Clayton & Henry Counties in Central Georgia.
The trees need to have the dormant or quiet state to get ready for the burst of growth that they will go through in the spring. Each season is important to the trees and also gives a lot to the timing for trimming, pruning and planting trees as well. Call Milam’s Tree Service for all your tree service needs! | 1agronomy

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/which-ravens-player-will-be-next-to-enter-the-hall-of-fame | 2023-09-26T13:19:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510208.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926111439-20230926141439-00270.warc.gz | 0.986576 | 1,161 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__7929959 | en | Ed Reed will officially become the third player drafted by the Ravens to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis as first-ballot selections.
Who will be the next Ravens' player enshrined in Canton? Here are five candidates worthy of the conversation:
WR Steve Smith Sr.
Smith played his final three seasons with the Ravens after spending 13 years with the Carolina Panthers. Players can't be measured by statistics alone, but Smith has the numbers. He ranks eighth all-time in receiving yards (14,731), 12th all-time in receptions (1,031) and he had eight 1,000-yard seasons. Smith played much of his career in offenses that were run-oriented, making those stats even more impressive.
His biggest obstacle may be the crowded competition at his position. Isaac Bruce was a finalist this year but didn't make the Hall of Fame, despite being fifth all-time in receiving yards and winning a Super Bowl. Other great wide receivers will become eligible soon, such as Reggie Wayne (2020), Andre Johnson (2022), and Larry Fitzgerald , who will become eligible in 2025 if he retires after next season.
If Smith could stiff-arm his way into Canton, he would. He was a fierce competitor, willing to take on all obstacles on the football field. However, Smith's Hall of Fame fate will depend on whether enough voters believe he passes the eye test at a position where great players like Terrell Owens, Andre Reed and Cris Carter all had to wait to get in.
WR Anquon Boldin
He ranks ninth all-time in career receptions (1,076), and 13th in receiving yards (13,799). He was the fastest to 400, 500 and 600 career receptions in NFL history. One would be hard-pressed to find a tougher player. Boldin retired in 2016 and spent three of his 14 seasons with the Ravens (2010-12). He was magnificent during Baltimore's four-game playoff run that was capped by a victory in Super Bowl XLVII, putting up 22 catches for 380 yards and four touchdowns during the 2012 playoffs. Every quarterback that Boldin ever played with trusted him completely in clutch situations.
Boldin will face the same intense wide receiver competition that Smith faces to gain entrance into Canton. Boldin was sometimes overshadowed by Fitzgerald, who was a teammate for six seasons in Arizona. However, a host of players who played with Boldin or competed against him believe he belongs in the hall, like Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner.
OLB Terrell Suggs
The Ravens' all-time sack leader (132 ½) is a free agent who says he will play next season, even if he doesn't return to the Ravens. That means we don't know exactly when Suggs will be eligible for induction. However, we do know that Suggs' resume is impressive. He recently took over as the all-time sack leader among active players when Julius Peppers of the Carolina Panthers (159 ½ sacks) announced his retirement last week.
Suggs is just five sacks from joining the top 10 all-time, he was Defensive Player of the Year in 2011, and he has a Super Bowl ring. In addition, Suggs isn't just a sack artist. He was an every-down player in his prime, adept at defending both the run and the pass. Like Reed and Lewis, Suggs also has a knack for making key plays in huge moments. He was a dominant player for years, and he possesses both longevity and consistency. That checks plenty of Hall of Fame boxes.
S Eric Weddle
Like Suggs, Weddle's future for next season is uncertain. He is under contract for next season, but the Ravens have not committed to bringing him back. Weddle could decide to retire if he does not return to Baltimore, or he could play elsewhere. He spent his first nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers before signing with the Ravens in 2016.
Weddle made the Pro Bowl for the sixth time this season, and throughout his career he has been recognized for his ability to orchestrate the secondary, putting his defense in the best position to make plays. With 29 career interceptions, Weddle may not have the stats to sway voters that he belongs. However, playing another season or two at a high level and winning a Super Bowl would strengthen his case.
RG Marshal Yanda
Yanda reestablished himself as one of the game's best offensive lineman in 2018, making the Pro Bowl for the seventh time after missing almost the entire 2017 season due to injury. He has spent his entire 12-year career with Baltimore and has been one of the team's most respected players since Day 1.
While the 34-year-old Yanda is under contract, he takes time after each season before he commits to playing another year. However, the Ravens have committed to Lamar Jackson as their starting quarterback, and assuming Yanda returns, his presence in the lineup will be as critical as ever.
Yanda has the attributes for Hall of Fame consideration – dependability, longevity, and consistency. However, it's rarely easy for lineman to get in. Three outstanding offensive linemen who were among the 15 finalists this year didn't make it – Steve Hutchinson, Alan Faneca and Tony Boselli. You can make a strong case for all of them, but Yanda has ensured that a strong case will be made for him when the time comes. | 58sports

At its launch in Lagos,the DPR indicated in the report that the revenue were realized from oil and gas royalty, gas flare penalty, concession rentals and miscellaneous oil revenue.
The country’s revenue from gas flare penalty hits N3,849,873,091.61 in 2012,while its gas royalty peaked at N33,173,790,789.60 last year,according to the report.
It said the total volume of gas produced last year was 2.94 trillion cubic feet ,which averages a daily production of 8.05 billion standard cubic feet . “The volume of gas produced comprised of 1.73 trillion cubic feet Associated Gas,representing 58.74 percent of the gas produced and 1/21 trillion cubic feet Non-Associated Gas, representing 41.26 percent of the total gas.Also 2.59 trillion cubic feet (88.13 percent) of the produced gas was utilized while a total of 21.02 billion cubic feet representing 0.7 percent was attributed to gas shrinkage.The remaining 11.04 percent of the produced gas,was flared”.

Advice on integrating the AT with and external safety system
Maintain your speed of test whilst ensuring operator safety
Safety Systems for the AT5600
The AT5600 integrates many types of testing, both traditional LCR style low voltage measurement, as well as HI-POT AC, HI-POT DC and SURGE testing to check product longevity, as well as a 270V class D supply for mains voltage testing under real conditions.
With this in mind, the rear panel of the AT5600 has been designed with a safety interlock connector.
This allows you to protect users from high voltages during test. This implements a triple redundant system for maximum user safety. This is identical to the interlock system used on the AT3600 Transformer tester.
Unless the three safety interlock signals on this connector are in the ‘safe’ condition, the tester will not run any tests.
The details of any safety system installation could vary depending on where the tester is being used.
In a robotic production line, for example, the tester could be in an enclosed area, and the safety switches could be mounted in the door.
With manual production, the safety system could be based on a physical barrier, for example, a ‘lid’ fitted with safety interlock switches.
However, the requirement to open and close such a barrier will give a slower speed of test, and often the reduced production throughput that follows from this may not be acceptable.
Below follows a brief description of some solutions for implementing your own safety system for use with the AT5600. More detail can be found in the AT5600 user manual Chapter 6, and the other user manual referred to below.
Banner Light Curtain system
For optimum safety, ease of use, and test speed, Voltech recommends the use of a safety light curtain with the AT5600.
The safety system uses an infrared light curtain as a barrier between the operator and the high voltages present on the transformer under test.
The light curtain is positioned in front of the AT5600, the light curtain barrier extends well beyond the width of the tester so that the operator is not impeded when he/she has to load and unload the transformer under test.
This can be purchased directly from Banner Engineering.
Voltech can supply an interface cable (our part # 250-030) that provides the connection from the AT Safety Interlock Port to the Banner control box ( Banner part number EZAC-R9-QE8)
Details of Banner OEM parts that you would need, and the simple installation of the Voltech 250-030 cable into it, are found in our manual for the interface cable. The Voltech cable already contains the 6k8 resistor needed for one of the "safe conditions" so just requires 6 connections to connect it to the Banner Control Box
Constructing your own Safety System
If you wish, you can construct your own system, similar to the above, or using a more mechanical system.
All the above methods must meet the 3 conditions for the interlock to be activated.
Please see AT5600 user manual
This shows the principles of how to construct a safety system based to meet the signal conditions on the 9-way AT Safety Interlock connector.
Voltech can supply a pre-made cable suitable for integrating the AT with your own system
