Pipeline Integrity Assessment
Pipeline integrity is an ever expanding theme.
New pipelines and piping are continuously being added to the worldwide set. And for this vast set of pipelines and piping: the clock is ticking. Conditions are continuously changing and pipelines are susceptible to various types of threats. Generally, these threats are corrosion, geohazards, third party damage, design flaws and incorrect operations. Even though it might be safe to operate now, what about next year? How long can it stand the test of time? What is the remaining quality of a pipeline; in other words: what is the integrity of the pipeline?
Key question of pipeline integrity is: Can we safely operate this pipeline?
Our operations consulting team builds on many years of experience in the field of pipeline and piping integrity.
The following keywords give an impression of the range of pipeline integrity services we offer:
- Pipeline Data Management (PDM)
- Defect Assessment
- Corrosion Risk Assessment

text: © 2013, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc. All rights reserved.A design optimization method based on three dimensional Euler equations is developed. A finite volume method is implemented to discretize the Euler equations. Newton's method is used to solve the discretized form of Euler equations. Newton's method requires the calculation of the Jacobian matrix which is the derivative of the residual vector with respect to the flux vector. Different upwind methods are used in the calculation of flux vectors. Numerical and analytical methods are utilized in the evaluation of Jacobian matrices. The efficiency and accuracy of the analytical and numerical Jacobian evaluations are compared. In order to improve the accuracy of numerical method, detailed error analyses are performed. The optimum finite difference perturbation magnitude that minimizes the error is searched. The computation time of numerical Jacobian evaluation is reduced by calculating the flux vectors with perturbed flow variables only in related cells. The performances of different sparse matrix solvers are also compared. The effects of errors in numerical Jacobians on the accuracy of sensitivities is analyzed. Results show that the finite-difference perturbation magnitude and computer precision are the most important parameters that affect the accuracy of numerical Jacobians. Approximately the same optimum perturbation magnitude enables the most accurate numerical flux Jacobian and sensitivity calculations.

Restricting Symbolic Links (UNIX/Linux)
You can limit the use of the file system links in your server. File system links are references to files stored in other directories or file systems. The reference makes the remote file as accessible as if it were in the current directory. There are two types of file system links:
For more information about hard and symbolic links, see your UNIX/Linux system documentation.
File system links are an easy way to create pointers to documents outside of the primary document directory and anyone can create these links. For this reason you might be concerned that people might create pointers to sensitive files (for example, confidential documents or system password files).
To restrict symbolic links, perform the following steps.
ProcedureTo restrict symbolic links
 2. Click Symbolic Links.

Hartford Hospital has recently discovered an original "Mrs. Chase"… (STEPHEN DUNN, Hartford…)
Long before there was "Annie," the iconic doll used for CPR-training classes, there was "Mrs. Chase."
Created in 1911, the lifesize Mrs. Chase doll is the first known doll to have been designed specifically for training health care workers. The original was built in Rhode Island for Hartford Hospital, which — to the surprise of just about everyone at the hospital — still has it.
A few weeks ago Steven Donahue, director of the hospital's Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation, was putting together a brochure about the hospital's training mannequins. A Google search he did revealed that simulation mannequins began with the Mrs. Chase doll and that Hartford Hospital had the very first.
It was the first that Donahue ever had heard of Mrs. Chase, and he doubted the doll was still in the hospital after 101 years.
"I figured, no way could we still have it around," he said, but he mentioned it to Steven Lytle, the hospital's archivist. Lytle confirmed that there was a Mrs. Chase in the hospital's archives and retrieved it, which was wearing an original, hand-stitched Hartford Hospital gown.
Aside from a few paint chips, the mannequin is surprisingly well-preserved. It will be part of an exhibit at the hospital on the history of medical training mannequins. Rebecca Stewart, spokeswoman for the hospital, said the exhibit is tentatively scheduled for May.
The mannequin was created by Martha Jenks Chase, of Pawtucket, R.I., who went into business making dolls as children's toys in 1901. Her dolls were popular because they were lightweight and sturdy but still had some of the realistic features of porcelain dolls sold in stores. Within a few years, Chase's dolls were advertised nationally and sold at Macy's and FAO Schwartz.
At the request of A. Lauder Sutherland, principal of the Hartford Hospital Training School, Chase made an adult-sized mannequin for nurse training in 1911. Sutherland, who had gotten tired of the makeshift, straw-filled dummies her nurses had been using, was impressed by Chase's lightweight and durable dolls.
Chase jokingly named the doll Miss Demon Strator, but eventually the handful of training dolls she made became known as "Mrs. Chase." In 1914, Chase created "Arabella," an upgraded version that allowed nurses to practice arm injections. Chase died in 1925, but the M.J. Chase Co. continued in business until 1981.
Most of what is known about the origins of Mrs. Chase is from the research of Eleanor Krohn Herrmann, a professor emeritus of nursing at UConn. She started researching the doll about 15 years ago after she happened to mention Mrs. Chase to a nursing student.
"She looked at me like I had four foreheads," said Herrmann, who lives in Wallingford. Although the Mrs. Chase doll was once ubiquitous in nurses' training classes, Herrmann said very little was known about the doll or her creator.
"So I wanted to know where this Mrs. Chase came from, and began looking," she said.
Mrs. Chase was used to train nurses how to dress a patient, turn her over and transfer her from bed to bed. Outfitted with movable joints at the hips, arms and legs, the dolls were designed with some help from Chase's husband, who was a doctor.
Next to today's simulation medical dolls, Mrs. Chase is decidedly low-tech. You can't give her CPR or injections. Compare that to SimMan 3G, better known to Hartford Hospital staff as "Tommy," who can sweat, bleed and have seizures. In the next room is "Jennifer," another state-of-the-art mannequin who "delivers" a simulation of a newborn baby. The robotic mother-to-be even screams to make the scenario more realistic. Donahue said the next-generation software might include cursing as well, "although we're trying to be sensitive about it."
These medical training mannequins all were made by Laerdal, a Norwegian company, which has dominated the market for decades. Jon Laerdal, a strategic marketing manager for the company, got a chance to see the Mrs. Chase doll when he visited Hartford Hospital last month to present some new software. As amedical mannequin cognoscente, Laerdal long had known of Mrs. Chase but had never seen one of the dolls.
"It was unbelievable how good look she looked for a 100-year-old doll," he said.
The Laerdal company began in the 1940s, with the creation of Resusci Annie, now the well-known CPR doll. Legend within the small community of CPR historians has it that Annie's likeness was based on the death mask of a young woman from Paris who drowned herself in the Seine River after a love affair went sour.
"My grandfather, the founder of the company, saw the death mask hanging on the wall of his parents-in-law when he was searching for the face of Resusci Annie," Laerdal said. "Now she's referred to as the mannequin that went from the mask of tragedy to the kiss of life."

A jog dial is a controller that can step through options or regulate the speed of media playback. It consists of a wheel or disc that spins freely or can move through a series of individual stops, known as detents or clicks, depending on the design. Electronics like cameras may have jog dials, and they can be attached to mice or external controls for a computer to control programs. For example, transcriptionists, video editors, and audio mixers may use an external jog dial to work more efficiently with media.
The design of the dial can depend on the device. Some are aligned vertically to create a spinning wheel, while others are horizontal. Textured edges are common to make a jog dial easier to grip and these may have markings to allow the user to see the appropriate setting. On a digital camera, for example, a dial can allow the user to select from several detents, each representing a different shooting mode. Another dial may control aperture or shutter speed when the user is on a manual or semi-manual mode.
For controlling media playback, a jog dial spins freely. It can be activated to fast forward or reverse, pause, and slow media. This can be critical for editing and transcribing, where one-touch control increase efficiency. Disc jockeys can use jog dials for fades, record skips, and other effects both in recordings and live performances. Jog dials also provide a quick method for reviewing footage in the field, useful for sound technicians and videographers.
Some computer mice come with a jog dial, sometimes known as a scroll wheel, which can be used for scrolling, clicking, and other functions. External jog dials can also be connected separately. These are usually designed for quick installation; some come with compact discs loaded with software for full feature functionality. They may be designed to coordinate with specific software programs to add features and make the software easy to use.
In addition to responding to spinning, some jog dials also respond to pressure. The user can push down to click or select, and may be able to selectively exert pressure on either end of the jog dial to access additional features. This increases the capacity of the device, although the learning curve can be steeper as people learn to control it effectively. Accidentally putting pressure on one end while operating the device, for instance, may inadvertently trigger an unwanted function.


Malic acid
Malic acid
is a white, crystal powder with sour taste, that was found 1785 in apple juice. It is a chemical compound that occurs as left-turning L-malic acid and right-turning D-malic acid. In nature the L-malic acid occurs in unripe fruits to prevent to be eaten. During ripening malic acid is degraded. It is obtained by a chemical process from fumaric acid or maleic acid and is a mixture of D- and L-malic acid. The malic acid is soluble in water and in ethanol. The product results as an intermediate of the energy metabolism of every living cell. For humans it is one kg a day. The esters and salts are called malates.

A newly released report Solar Energy Use in U.S. Agriculture. Overview and Policy Issues published by USDA's Office of Energy Policy and New Uses, serves as an overview of solar energy use by farmers and ranchers in the U.S. that identifies trends and future potential. According to USDA's 2009 On-Farm Energy Production Survey, ninety-three percent of farms with on-farm renewable energy production produce solar energy and 8,000 farms have installed a solar energy system on their farm.
On-farm solar energy production has increased significantly in the last decade. Sixty-three percent of solar panels in agriculture were installed from 2005-2009 and the growth rate was almost five-fold from 2000-2009. Solar energy projects funded under USDA's Rural Energy for America Program also experienced a five-fold increase between 2007 and 2009. The report reviews the regulations and incentives that are available to farmers and ranchers, which has recently boosted installations, and also examines major financial influences.

Water-hydraulic vehicle built by Purdue students
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A group of Purdue University undergraduates built an industrial riding lawn mower that's a cut above the rest.

The students created what is thought to be the first vehicle that uses water in all of its hydraulic systems, including power steering, power brakes and transmission.
Recent advances in water hydraulic systems have allowed them to perform as well as petroleum hydraulic systems. Because water offers several environmental and economic advantages over petroleum hydraulic fluid, the students teamed up to demonstrate that such a vehicle is now possible.
Recent graduates Jason Brown of Pendleton, Ind.; Dan Sellers of Bourbon, Ind.; and Dan Pitstick of Rensselaer, Ind., worked through their final semester at Purdue to build the machine. Nathan Schoonover, of Evansville, Ind, who graduated in December, also worked on the project.
Although the mower was redesigned to prove a point, it does have a practical purpose. Mowers leak some hydraulic fluid, and on golf courses that fluid can kill grass on greens that often cost tens of thousands of dollars to construct and maintain.
Jacobsen, a division of Textron Inc. of Racine, Wis., donated the Greens King IV mower, which is a 31-horsepower, front-wheel drive mower with three sets of gang mowers that are raised and lowered hydraulically.
Gary Krutz, professor of agricultural and biological engineering and the students' advisor, says water hydraulic systems only would be practical in vehicles that use high-pressure systems, such as heavy equipment used in construction, agriculture, forestry and mining. (Automobiles have hydraulic brake and steering systems, but these are not typically highly pressurized.)
Using water in hydraulic systems currently costs twice as much as using petroleum products, but that could change as more applications are found for water hydraulics.
"If all of the research and development were done, all of the major companies would be using water instead of hydraulic fluid," Krutz says. "Because the industry is in its infancy, mass production hasn't lowered the cost. But once you start mass producing the necessary parts from ceramic, fiber-reinforced plastic or stainless steel, the prices will drop."
Research at Purdue on water hydraulic systems currently focuses on hydrostatic bearings. Hydrostatic bearings would be used in cars or industrial or agricultural equipment. "These would work well with cars in the future that use fuel cells, because you would be able to use the water in the fuel cell and in the gear box," Krutz says.
The water used in the mower isn't straight from the tap; ordinary city water contains too many minerals and impurities and could cause build-up and corrosion. Instead, the system uses distilled water that has been de-ionized to remove any electrical charges that could cause corrosion.
Corrosion also is the reason parts for water hydraulics systems have to be made of stainless steel, plastic or ceramics. But the more expensive parts would be worth it because using water in hydraulic systems makes machinery more energy efficient, saving money.
The boost in energy efficiency is due to water's lower viscosity. Viscosity is the measure of how fast a liquid flows. Water flows up to 1,000 times faster than hydraulic fluid at normal air temperatures. Once the machine is warmed up, water is still less viscous.
Improved viscosity means less energy is required to push the hydraulic fluid through the system, making it more efficient. An engine that uses direct gearing is 95 percent efficient; one that uses hydraulic systems is 60 percent efficient. (Hydraulic systems are used in place of gears because they offer variable speed and can be placed in different locations around the vehicle.)
By using water instead of heavier petroleum fluid, Krutz estimates the efficiency could be boosted at least 10 percent.
"That doesn't sound like much, but that would mean a savings of 500 million gallons of gasoline in the United States each year," he says. "I'm also willing to predict that the lower friction will result in less wear for the equipment."
Replacing hydraulic fluids with water won't be without problems, however. Because tighter fittings and higher quality parts are needed to prevent leaks and corrosion, water systems are more costly. Also, the reduced viscosity of water means that turbulence within the system could reduce efficiency if the parts aren't engineered properly.
Krutz predicts that costs could drop quickly if even one manufacturer decided to focus on water hydraulic systems. "All we need is for one major lawn mower company to decide to use this technology in a premium machine, and the cost would drop significantly," he says.
Stainless steel and ceramics are among the expensive materials most needed for water hydraulic systems, and as the cost of these materials drop, replacing petroleum hydraulic fluid comes closer to becoming cost effective.
"Do you remember how you used to have to replace the muffler on your car every three years?" Krutz asks. "Steel producers figured out how to make stainless steel cheaper, and the auto manufacturers began using it to make mufflers. Now mufflers last as long as most people own a car.
"This price reduction in stainless steel is also making water hydraulic systems affordable, but steel materials still require a lot of engineering work to eliminate turbulence in the system."
Additional equipment for the project was donated by Danfoss Nessie, Milwaukee, Wis.; Fairfield Manufacturing, Lafayette, Ind.; Indianapolis Valve and Fitting, Indianapolis; Parker Hannifin, Cleveland, Ohio; and Swagelok Co., Salon, Ohio.

can
 check the "New Server Window" checkbox and press the OK button.
 Added "New Server Window" menu item to options toolbar button
 holding down the Shift key when you select a server from the
 popup menu.
 Added multi-server dialog to connect/options dialog.
 New commands and identifiers:
 $cid - returns server connection id for current script
 $wid - returns window id for current script
 $status - returns server connection status. Also returns
 "closing" during the on disconnect event if the
 status window being closed is the cause of the
 $activecid, and $lactivecid.
 You can also specify a property which is a command name
 and it will be called using that server connection.
 /scid <-rsatM | N> [command], where N is a $cid value
 /scon <-rsatM | N> [command], where N is the Nth connection
 original id for that script.
 -a - perform the command on all connection ids.
 -tM - where M is an or'd value of 1 = server connected,
 The command is only performed if N matches the connect
 status of the connection id.
 you want the identifiers to be evaluated in the target
 connection, you must pass them as $!identifier to prevent
 them from being evaluated first in the current connection.
 Also added new properties to $window():
 .type - returns window type name
 and $timer():
 .cid - server connection id
 .wid - window id
 .hwnd - window handle
 and connects, -n creates new server window without connecting.
 Misc. notes:
 Windows whose server connection has been closed are placed
 at the end of the switchbar list. This includes things like
 DCC send/get/chat, and custom windows.
 server connections, DCC sends/get/chats, etc.
 The tray icon displays the animation for the current active
 server connection, same goes for the Connect toolbar button,
 and File menu.
 Each server connection has it's own /play list, and the play
 dialog shows the play list for the current active connection.
 Urls list "Send To" menu, and Tray popup menu, show the network
 and nickname for each status window.
177.Added /timer -i switch, makes a timer auto-associate with the
 currently active server connection.
 /timer now shows the associated network name for a timer.
178.on PLAYEND is now triggered at the end of each played file.
179.Extended /ignore, /protect, etc. handling.

 ignores. When connected, it lists all ignores that apply to
 that connection.
 Also note that isaop, isavoice, isignore, and isprotect all
 apply to the current connection.
180.Added /window switches:
 When a _USER_ is created, it is automatically associated
 with the current connection. If that connection is closed,
 the _USER_ is associated with the next available connection.
 You can change this behavior with /window -ivz:
 -i - makes a _USER_ dynamically associate with the currently
 if this setting is active.
 -v - closes window when associated status window is closed
 The on close event is triggered for the window.
 If this switch isn't used and the status window is
 and is associated with the first available status window.
 -z - places window button at end of switchbar
181.The. prefix now makes /debug quiet. Extended /debug to allow
 output to a custom _USER_ or filename.
 /debug -c off closes associated _USER_

Much has been written about the challenges churches faced in maintaining corporate worship during the pandemic, but little has been reported on the changes brought about in religious education.
Yet a new national study from Hartford Institute for Religion Research shows key elements of church-based religious education suffered greatly and have not rebounded to pre-pandemic levels.
While these challenges affected all age levels, the greatest changes appear to have been in programming for preschoolers, children and youth. As one indicator, vacation Bible school took a severe hit and even this year will not return to its pre-pandemic levels.
Prior to the pandemic, 36% of churches offered VBS or some similar form of church day camps during the summer. In 2020, the first year of the pandemic, only 17% of congregations offered VBS. That number rebounded back to 36% in summer 2021, but this year, only 31% of churches say they plan to offer VBS in 2022.
Across the board, however, churches responded with creativity to the limitations on in-person gatherings created by COVID-19.
"Religious education leaders showed considerable originality using online tools, strengthening at-home DIY efforts, hosting intergenerational activities with COVID precautions, and creating novel approaches like Pizza Church or Dungeons and Dragons clubs," said principal investigator Scott Thumma.
The new study, Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations: Innovation Amidst and Beyond Covid-19 study is a collaborative, five-year research project funded by Lilly Endowment and led by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford International University for Religion and Peace.
While most U.S. churches shut down all in-person religious education and worship events during the first months of the pandemic, worship came back online much sooner than religious education, the study found. One reason is that worship services are more easily offered in an online or hybrid format than children's Sunday school, for example.
"Our earlier studies from summer and winter 2021 provided an indication that although worship was being held in person in at least 90% of churches, religious education was still far from normal," the researchers noted. "It is precisely these types of religious educational programs and activities for children and youth that dramatically shape the next generations of church participants, suggesting that these pandemic challenges and adaptations will have much longer-term consequences for religious communities."
In short, the researchers said: "It is clear that religious educational programming has been slow to adapt and recover from the pandemic. Our initial survey of the study conducted in summer 2021 showed that the participation of children and youth had decreased for 60% of churches and adult involvement in religious education dropped in 51% of congregations. As the most recent March 2022 survey shows, while 46% of congregations surveyed agreed that their education programming had continued without major disruption, half had faced major disruption."
But as with nearly every other pandemic-related trend, these challenges were not felt equally by all congregations: "Smaller churches, those in the mainline tradition, and churches that did not quickly return to a modified in-person education program suffered more during the past two years. It is also clear that virtual religious education did not work well for younger children and youth, though it has benefited adult education efforts. Based on open-ended comments, religious education is being reconceptualized for a significant group of churches, discontinued for a smaller percentage, and is back to 'business as usual' for the remaining congregations."
The net effect, two years later, is that the number of congregations reporting a "strong emphasis" on children's religious education has dropped from 57% before the pandemic to 43%.
Notably, nationwide involvement in children's programming at U.S. churches has dropped 30%, while involvement in youth education has declined 40%.
Among multiple factors, a key driver is less availability of volunteers to teach or lead these classes.
"Overall volunteering has been significantly down since the pandemic, from roughly 40% of the membership in early 2020 to 20% in March 2022."
"Throughout the pandemic, many congregations have struggled to cultivate consistent and reliable volunteers for ministry programming," the report explains. "Overall volunteering has been significantly down since the pandemic, from roughly 40% of the membership in early 2020 to 20% in March 2022.
"Given this pattern and the fact that lay volunteers make up the bulk of children's and youth education programming, it is not surprising that 57% of churches agreed they had volunteer challenges in the education program during the past two years."
Again, the situation has been more severe in smaller churches than in larger churches, which have a larger pool of potential volunteers.
Adult religious education has proved more flexible and has endured the storm better, researchers found.
"In our pre-pandemic 2020 survey, all but 4% of congregations reported offering religious education for adults and 60% of faith communities gave this activity 'a lot of emphasis.' Based on our most recent survey, churches were better equipped to carry this support of adult education into a COVID situation than the aforementioned programming for younger audiences. Fewer churches put their adult education programs on pause compared to their children's programs, with roughly two-thirds of congregations moving classes online or to a hybrid context.
"By the summer of 2021, adult religious education participation had declined for about half (51%) of the churches surveyed, but only 18% stopped outright. Sixteen percent of programs even saw an increase in participation. In our November 2021 survey, adult programs looked relatively the same as they had six months before, with 17% growing and 50% having decreased.
"Our March 2022 survey showed that adult education participation as a whole had the smallest losses compared to pre-pandemic levels, and many churches' adult programs remained even (23%) or grew (25%) since 2019."
Most comprehensive study yet of COVID's impact on churches finds uneven results
In a world of haves and have-nots, America's churches should capitalize on their strengths, religion researcher says
Another major study confirms: Most American congregations are small, but most churchgoers attend large congregations

There are different type of fruits and vegetables available in various parts of the world. They may be same in shape with each other but their taste and nutritional affect is different from each other. Sometimes, these fruits and vegetables are mixed up with each other to prepare weird recipes. Pickles, Courgette, Gherkins, Cucumber and Zucchini are one of these special recipes. Let's have a look on difference between cougette, gherkin, zucchini and pickle.
In British English zucchini is also called courgette. It is a vegetable which is served in cooked form. In sweet dishes zucchini is used as an ingredient.
It is a fruit look like cucumber in shape. Gherkin and cucumber are from same species. There are no difference between both in form and nutrition. They are normally used in sweet dishes.
A zucchini is a summer squash. They are normally grown in a half meter length. Basically it is hybrid of another vegetable cucumber. It is cooked and served as vegetable.
A cucumber can be pickled with vinegar or brine. In Australia, Canada and United States, they are known as pickle and generally gherkins in UK.
Cucumber is a ground plant in cylindrical form. It is safe to eat fruit, but also used as vegetable. It is one of the mostly grown plants all over the world. The three major varieties of cucumber are pickling, slicing and purples.
Pickles vs Courgette vs Gherkins vs Cucumber vs Zucchini
The difference between zucchini and cougette is, in American English courgette is also known as zucchini. They are almost same in shape and taste. They both use in sweet dishes but they are different in length. Gherkin is like cucumber in taste and shape. The difference between gherkin and courgette is that, gherkin is a fruit while courgette is used as vegetable. Pickle is made from cucumber with vinegar and brine.

Downlink Transmission of Distributed Antenna Systems in High Building Environments
Over the last few years high data rate wireless transmission has gained considerable attention in hot spot areas, including high buildings. It has been described that Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs) improve the performance of the indoor environment by covering dead spots. In this paper, a DAS architecture for high buildings is investigated, proposed and analyzed. The goal is to provide high data rate for indoor mobile users by exploiting spatial diversity and reducing the distance of radio transmission. In this system, the frequency is reused among floors. The radio signals in high buildings can propagate vertically and reach the neighbouring floors. Therefore, the performance of the system is limited by co-channel interference.

How To Read Your Propane Gauge
One of the most important things to understand about your propane tank is that the fuel gauge shows you the fuel level as a percentage of the capacity of your tank, not the total amount of gallons in the tank.
While not all propane tanks have the same gauges, their purpose remains the same: to show you how much propane is left in the tank. Most gauges are "float gauges," (like the fuel gauge in a vehicle), which reads the level of liquid propane in the tank via a floating arm. As the level drops, so does the float gauge.
If you have a propane tank for home energy usage, then you've probably noticed that after a propane delivery, the tank gauge reads 80%.
Don't worry, you're not being scammed and there is nothing wrong with your tank or the gauge. Although you use propane in gas form, propane is stored as a liquid in your tank to allow it space to expand and contract as the ambient temperature rises and falls. The maximum fill percentage is always going to be 80%.
You can perform some simple math to determine how much gas is in your propane tank. Just multiply the tank's capacity by the reading on the tank gauge.
For example, if your 500-gallon tank is showing a gauge reading of 60%, that means you have 300 gallons of gas remaining in your tank (500 x 0.6).

In this study, the experimental and theoretical vibrational frequencies of a newly synthesized tert-Butyl N-(thiophen-2yl)carbamate have been investigated. The experimental FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) spectrum of the molecule in the solid phase have been recorded. The theoretical vibrational frequencies and optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) have been calculated by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP: Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr) and DFT/M06-2X (the highly parametrized, empirical exchange correlation function) quantum chemical methods with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set by Gaussian 09W software, for the first time. The vibrational frequencies have been assigned using potential energy distribution (PED) analysis by using VEDA 4 software. The computational optimized geometric parameters and vibrational frequencies have been found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data, and with related literature results. In addition, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies and the other related molecular energy values have been calculated and are depicted.
Keywords: FT-IR spectra; HOMO–LUMO; Thiophene; Vibrational study.

1 January 2015 - THE FIVE-COLOUR RIVER
G'day folks,
Happy New Year to you all. Let's hope it has everything that you wish for.
Now, here is something different. The Cano Cristales river, or the five color river, as the locals call it, starts its journey at the foot of a Colombian mountain range - Micarna. It continues flowing eastward to meet with the Guivero river. A traveller happening upon the crystal river may find five different colors in its waters: yellow, blue, green, black and red.
The reason for this fiesta of colors is actually biological. It is caused by the materials the many types of algae living in the river produce. The hue of the colors depends on the time of year and the swiftness of the current.
The river, which does look as if it was a path to paradise, is truly an ecological wonder, and while most of the year it hides behind a costume of dim greens and cool blues, for a short time each year it blooms with a rainbow of dazzling colors.
During the Colombian wet season, the water flows too quickly to hold the color, and during the summer there isn't enough water, but for a short few months between these two seasons, there are many types of algae colonies that for thousands of years have continued to give the river its name.
 Now, check out these shots:
Clancy's comment: Nature is amazing, eh? Many humans imagine that they are the greatest inventors.
I'm...
Think about this!

 HONOURS
A typical honours would be as follows:
Lady Asteria, Watcher of the Heavens.
She is 140 years old, having been born on the 6th of Severin, year 89 of
the Midnight Age.
She is ranked 413th in Aetolia.
She is a Vagabond in the Fellowship of Explorers.
She is a member of the clan called 'The Ohmsford Clan'.
She has written a personal background.
She is considered to be approximately 50% of your might.
The first line shows the person's name and title. The second shows her
age, as well as the date that she was born. Next comes her overall rank
in Aetolia. This is based solely on the amount of experience she has
gained, and a full list of the experience rankings can be seen in
RANKINGS (or RANKINGS [#]).
Then is her rank in the Fellowship of Explorers. This is a measure of
how much of Aetolia she has explored - when you compare to HELP
EXPLORERS, she hasn't explored very much at all!
Afterwards come any clans she has joined, or that she might be in
possesion of, that are available to public view. She appears to be in a
family clan and nothing more, though there may be hidden ones!
The next line shows that she has written a background. If she were a
real character, you could VIEW BACKGROUND ASTERIA to try to read it.
After that is an approximation of her might compared to your own. This
is based solely on how many lessons both you and she have spent learning
your skills. Someone who is 0% your might has probably learned very
little, and someone who is 3000% your might obviously has spent a lot of
time on their backside learning.

Archeologists, during an ongoing excavation, have unearthed two ancient theater masks belonging to Roman period in southeastern Turkish province of Mardin.
An archaeological team conducted by the Museum of Mardin in Ilisu Dam excavated the masks revealed to be made of bronze and iron.
The experts suggest that the masks belong to a travelling theater group, which came to Mardin at the time of Roman Empire about 2300 years ago.
"It is revealed that this historical artifact from Roman Empire have been brought to Mardin by the travelling theaters as there has been no theater here at that time. This travelling theater is presumed to come from west to east," said Mardin Culture and Tourism Director Davut Beliktay.
Many other relics have been uncovered during the excavation, though they are less important than the masks as rare ancient treasure in Turkey, Beliktay added.
The newly found artifacts have an historical importance to Mardin, as they confirm the city's rich history, said the Director of Mardin Museum, Nihat Erdogan.
The masks were immediately taken for restoration in a laboratory in the Museum of Mardin. When the restoration comes to end, they are programmed to be protected at the museum.

HeLa cells (a strain of human cells cultured in the laboratory) have a mitotic cycle of about 24 hours, of which about 11 hrs is spent in G1, about 8 hrs in S, about 4 hrs in G2, and about 1 hr in mitosis. If you took a sample of HeLa cells from a culture, and looked at it through the microscope, in about what % of cells would you expect the chromosomes to be visible?
The answer is about 1 cell in 24, or 4.2%, would be expected to have visible chromosomes.
I have been doing this prolem several times now and I can't figure out how to do it. I am so confused. Can you also explained the number of chromosomes you get from mitosis?

Looking for Holistic/Spiritual University Degree Programs?
Your Path to Earning Holistic/Spiritual Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctor of Divinity Degrees
Are you trying to find a divinity degree that recognizes abilities that are overlooked by mainstream educational system? Then Awakenings' degree programs may be right for you. Awakenings offers programs that could be seen as a new paradigm in higher education.
Here are some key points that may help you to understand Awakenings' approach to earning divinity degrees:
- You can attend in your local community. Rather than having a campus and classrooms, Awakenings is a community-based university, where your own city or town is the "campus." This means that you can attend Awakenings Institute wherever you are. Awakenings honors the community, its resources, and existing educational institutions as viable learning environments.
- Awakenings regards learning as a lifelong process and helps you to integrate your most relevant spiritual/life experiences into your degree program. This integrates your studies into the broader and more profound context of your spiritual journey.
- There are no predetermined curriculums. With Awakenings, you as the learner design your own degree program with the guidance of your provost.
- You have the power to determine the direction of your program. Awakenings' approach is based on self-initiated learning and you are known as a "learner" rather than a "student." The distinction points to the difference between being an involved and empowered participant in the learning process and being a passive participant following a standardized curriculum.
- You receive individual guidance through the entire program. Rather than teachers, each learner works with a provost, who is his or her primary facilitator. Awakenings' provosts personally guide you through every aspect of your learning experience. The communication is done in person for those who are nearby, by phone from any location, and by e-mail.
Learners may also work with mentors for learning in their chosen fields. Mentors offer special expertise the learner wishes to acquire as part of the degree program. Awakenings highly qualified instructors also serve as mentors for those who seek degrees in fields that relate to their expertise. As the designer of your curriculum, you can likewise choose to have mentors in any spiritual/holistic field that serves you in your degree program.
- All of the courses offered by Awakenings are approved for university credits toward a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctor of Divinity degree from Awakenings Institute. Degree programs in Holistic Healing, Spiritual Counseling, and related studies incorporating EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Spiritual Kinesiology, Reiki, Holistic Hypnotherapy, and other healing modalities may be built around these courses.
How Long Are the Degree Programs?
Awakenings maintains high standards that you can be proud of. We generally enroll learners for one academic year (two semesters) each for Divinity Bachelor's and Master's degrees, and two academic years (four semesters) for Divinity Doctorate degrees. With the emphasis on individual attention, the exact length of your program is determined during the enrollment process.
What Are the Benefits of a Degree From Awakenings Institute?
Awakenings offers a unique opportunity for those seeking degrees that have personal meaning and are representative of the special abilities you have to offer. Some considerations:
- You will earn a reputable, legal degree. Though Awakenings Institute is not accredited like traditional universities, its divinity degrees receive the same legal recognition.
- You can help to forge of the future of education. Since Awakenings is not subject to the limitations placed on accredited universities, you have immense freedom and choices in relation to what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. This makes Awakenings Institute a good avenue for those in holistic/spiritual fields that are not currently represented in traditional universities. At the same time, it is worth noting that traditional schools may be more appropriate for those who are seeking licensing that requires an accredited degree or where specific technical training is needed.
- You can use credits from traditional colleges and universities as part of your degree program.
- As mentioned earlier, life learning is highly valued. You can receive credit for the valuable things you have learned throughout your life outside of a traditional classroom.
- You will receive individual guidance throughout your degree program. In fact, it is designed to bring out your unique approach to learning and integrate your educational experience into the larger context of your journey.
- There are no grades, which can impose artificial standards and sometimes negative influences on the learning process. Awakenings' learners are nurtured and guided to achieve their personal best and to achieve a level of excellence that is representative of the desired degree.
Awakenings Institute is recognized by the state of California as a nonprofit religious entity. As such, we are granted the authority by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education to offer Bachelor of Divinity, Master of Divinity, and Doctor of Divinity degree programs.

Parallel solution of systems of linear equations generated by COMSOL 3.2 using the Sun Performance Library
Publication: Research › Report – Annual report year: 2006
This note investigates the use of the Sun Performance Library for parallel solution of a system of linear equations generated by COMSOL 3.2. In many engineering disciplines this is a computational bottleneck for large problems which are often met in research practice. Most researches are primarily concerned with developing a proper (COMSOL) model rather than developing efficient linear algebra solvers which motivates this investigation of the efficiency of the coupling COMSOL + SPL. The technicalities of making such a coupling is described in detail along with a measure of the speedup for a testproblem run in 2D and 3D. Moreover this note quantifies the performance of COMSOL running on a Sparc ULTRA III processor. The study shows that for small problems such as debugging tasks, teaching exercises etc. the Sun computer is not competitive compared with a standard PC.

The jam'r can store three trays of fruit (each earning 1 XP) and three jarfuls of honey (each earning 1 XP). It produces one jar of jam in 60 seconds if both ingredients are in place and there are no more than two finished jars on the output bench.
One jar of jam sells for 113 coins; profit 13 (after allowing for the sale prices of honey and fruit forgone): that's 2.60/h if you harvest the fruit as soon as it's ready. It's the most profitable berry jam, which may be why you have to wait until level 27 to be able to plant the berries.
If you find that bedtime is less than 5 hours away, you can plant:
- blueberries, which take only 3 hours to grow and when turned into jam produce 7 coins of profit, i.e. slightly fewer coins per hour for the same amount of work (and the same number of XP).
- clover, which grows in only 4 hours (earning 1.25 per hour if sold but 2.50 if fed to a cow) and will add to your honey supply if your beehive is operating to pollinate it;

Using Spring Connectors in SOLIDWORKS Simulation to Reduce Complexity in Your Analysis
By Paolo Olmos
I recently worked on a customer project which involved answering the question, "How can I represent complex sub-assemblies or components that are part of a larger assembly using SOLIDWORKS Simulation?" The customer wanted to include ball screws and linear rails. These sub-assemblies include bearings, threads, and complex mounting geometry that would require a significant amount of time and effort to setup - and a significant amount of time to solve. Additionally, if I were to miss an element in the setup, the analysis could fail or the results may be invalid. One way to simplify an analysis that involves complex sub-assemblies or components is to replace them with spring connectors. Replacing components with spring connectors allows you to:
 - Reduce the number of components that need to be meshed, improving solve time
 - Simplify the analysis setup, reducing the overall time necessary to execute the analysis
While maintaining the inherent stiffness of the components you remove by replacing them with an equivalent spring stiffness. As an example, let's take an assembly made of 2 plates with a spring in the middle. Including the spring in a linear static analysis with a 100 lbf load applied, the results show a displacement of 0.282 inches. To use a spring connector in this situation, the spring component is suppressed and replaced with a virtual spring that uses the stiffness data you have for the modeled spring. As you can see in the screenshots below, we can get the same displacements as the analysis that included the modeled spring.
Spring Connector
Right: Results With Spring, Left: Results With Spring Connector.
Comparing the setup and solve time between the two studies:
 - The setup time was short for both studies, but imagine if the spring was a more complex sub-assembly or component. It would require time to define contacts, material, and fixtures for all the elements in the sub-assembly or component. The setup time could be substantially longer.
 - The solve time for the actual spring took 6 seconds to solve versus 2 seconds for the spring connector analysis.
A couple of other things to consider when using spring connectors:
 - Make sure that the face selected for one body shares a common projected area on the face selected for the other body. If you don't, SOLIDWORKS Simulation cannot create the spring and will display an error when you try to run the analysis. In the example above, the faces selected had the same area and were directly overlapping when looking at the top view.
 - You can create split lines to separate the faces of each body in order to create a common projected area between them. In the example above, this technique would have been required if the spring was significantly smaller than the plates.
As you can see in this brief overview, spring connectors can help you obtain accurate results, while saving you time to setup and solve your analysis. Keep a look-out at this space for a follow-up blog article that covers using spring connectors to represent the ball screw and linear rail assemblies mentioned earlier, or watch my webinar: SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Representing Ball Screws and Linear Rails in Your Analysis.

ConnectWise SLA Implementation
## How to use Connectwise SLA Statuses
ConnectWise SLA questions are one of the most frequently asked questions by our customer base. In order to help address the questions we have put together this slide deck and video to walk you through how the SLA statuses are set up and impact your SLA reporting. The video will walk you through topics like
- Where SLAs are set up within ConnectWise
- SLA Status Definitions
- Sample Ticket & SLA Flow Process
- How A Two Step Ticket Close Impacts SLA
- BrightGauge Sample Visuals
Instruction video below!
## **Deeper Dive into how ConnectWise implements the SLA numbers in the actual database.**
In April of 2014 we had some issues calculating the SLA time statuses for ConnectWise customers. After some troubleshooting and playing some ping pong between our support staff and that of ConnectWise, we finally got to an understanding of how things worked, implemented an update on our end, and then pushed it out to everyone. We then took a look at what was happening and then decided we should relay it to our customers so that anyone designing their own SQL datasets off this data is not as confused as we once were. Below you will find a summary of some information which you can find at ConnectWise university here:
When you create SLA statuses in ConnectWise you have the following options:
1. Response
2. Plan
3. Resolve
4. Waiting
You can set various ticket statuses to correspond to each SLA status, but they boil down to these four. Unfortunately when looking in the SQL database, ConnectWise stores numbers in the following ways:
1. Responded\_Minutes
2. Resplan\_Minutes
3. Resolved\_Minutes
4. Waiting\_Minutes
5. Minutes\_Before\_Waiting
6. Responded\_Skipped\_Minutes
7. Resplan\_Skipped\_Minutes
The first four fields seem reasonable enough, but in reality they're not so straight forward.
When a technician works on a ticket, ConnectWise expects a ticket to go from Response -> Plan -> Resolve. You cannot go backwards and more importantly, skipping a status has implications. When you skip the response and/or planning phase, the time value for the phase you start with then gets applied to the skipped statuses as skipped minutes and the actual minutes get a value of 0. This of course is only in the database, on the front end ConnectWise just shows you the values summed up. Take a look at the following animation to help get a grasp on what is happening:
As a result, you would need to do some math to match the values from the database with the views in ConnectWise. Here's an animation to explain the math:
For our default datasets, we have already implemented the mathematical changes required to match what our customer see in their ConnectWise views. For those that wish to see the old values, they're still there, it would just require an easy SQL query. The old values could be really helpful, for example looking to get values for the average time to get from plan to resolve.
Minutes Waiting and Minutes Before Waiting
These two values are something else entirely. Minutes Waiting is a value you will only see if you have it set up in the SLA statuses and Minute Before Waiting is a value you should never see when looking at a completed ticket. This is because Minutes Before Waiting is a temporary status that exists when you set one status, spend some time in limbo and then set the ticket to Waiting. Those minutes between the first status and the Waiting status are then assigned to Minutes Before Waiting, however whenever you apply the next non-waiting status, then that status takes the Minutes Before Waiting value and Minutes Before Waiting is set to 0. Confused? So were we, so here's an animation to hopefully help:
Got a grasp on it all? Great! Amazing! Still lost? You're normal. It took us some time to understand it and we'll be more than willing to help you at BrightGauge Support.
Code Summary:
Responded Minutes = Responded\_Minutes + Responded\_Skipped\_Minutes
Plan Minutes = Resplan\_minutes+ Resplan\_Skipped\_Minutes + Responded\_Minutes
Resolved Minutes = Resolved\_Minutes + Resplan\_Minutes + Responded\_Minutes

However, there's a trick to it. If you just run the properties file like so:
The assignments will be made at the sub-level, then discarded when the properties file (script) ends execution.
So to get the properties in a calling script, you need to use the "source" command:
Note that the space after the initial dot is very important!
To reference shell variable assignments, you use the "$" to indicate variable substitution.
So, to put it all together:
This solution is good because it's simple, but it will only work if you have Java properties file that doesn't have any property names or values that have special characters (to shell) in them. For example, if there is a property with a '.' in the name, then this solution won't work. That's the case for most Java properties files I've used, especially those used with ANT.
Here is a properties file that Java can read, but bash can't:
The second property is going to cause problems because it has a dot in the name, as well as having spaces in the value. Java and ANT can read this in just fine, but bash can't:
You're quite correct, and that page is a very useful resource.
It does, however, leave out 1 important method:
When I use a properties file in the shell, I normally only put the coarsest properties in that file (which may include paths to finer-grade properties that the Java code itself reads). So it's no particular hardship to follow that rule. For me, anyway.

Is sand called sand because it's between sea and land?
The word sand is thought to have originated from an Old English word, which itself originated from the old Dutch word sant, which became zand (meaning, you guessed it, sand). But I like your theory better, honestly.

Is There A Difference Between An Angry Customer and A Hostile One?
Yes, there is. And, it's an important difference since you will choose to manage an angry customer in a different way than a hostile one.
Anger is a human emotion, and we all experience it. You can't eliminate it in others, and often, provided the customer isn't "acting out", or being attacking in a personal way, you let it run its course. The problem you might face isn't anger, but how the customer chooses to express the anger.
Hostile Customer Behavior From Customers Is Different
Here's a short excerpt from
If It Wasn't For The Customers I'd Really Like This Job: Stop Angry, Hostile Customers COLD While Remaining Professional, Stress Free, Efficient and Cool As A Cucumber
There is a difference between reasonable expressions of anger (angry behavior) which is short lived and not aimed at you personally, and unacceptable behavior that we call hostile or abusive behavior. Not only are they different, but we may choose to handle these two different situations in different ways.
Hostile and abusive is intended, consciously or unconsciously, to have some or all of the following effects:
 - Put you off balance
 - Manipulate and control you
 - Demean you in some way
 - Cause you to feel guilty
 - Cause you to experience other negative emotions
 - Intimidate you
It's this kind of behavior that causes the greatest amount of stress for people who serve customers, because it involves ranting, insulting, and using intimidation tactics. Abusive behavior, because of the intent to elicit a reaction, involves pushing the buttons of customer service staff, making it more likely they will do something to makes the situation worse, not better.
While you may tolerate some degree of angry behavior without being concerned, hostile and abusive is something you do not want to accept. The primary goal, with abusive situations, is to cause the abusive behavior to stop. Once that occurs then you can work to reduce the angry feelings of the customer, and address his or her problem. You cannot help a person who is acting out or being abusive. It's virtually impossible. So, first stop the bad behavior (and we'll teach you how).
There are different "containers for abusive and hostile behavior, starting with verbal abuse.

Teacher Recruitment and Retention
Launch date: 19/09/2019
Review status: Report published
What is the review about?
A review examining the successes and challenges faced by the Island in relation to recruiting and retaining teaching staff.
The Panel recently questioned the Minister for Education about the current vacancy rates in advance of the new academic year and found that 69 teachers had handed their noticed in as of 31 May 2019. Whilst most of these vacancies have now been filled, the Panel has agreed that it would be beneficial to examine the views of the teaching profession and the available data relating to recruitment and retention, to identify the successes and challenges for the Island. Whilst the review is not being carried out in direct response to the recent industrial action, it is hoped that it will help determine whether there are any underlying trends or issues that may have contributed to this.
Terms of reference
1. To examine the recruitment and retention figures for teaching staff over the past 5 years including, but not limited to:
- The number of staff that have left the profession;
- The number of staff that have retired and are due to retire in the next 5 years;
- The number of staff that have been recruited through any recruitment initiatives (i.e. Jersey Teacher Training Programme);
- The number of staff that have engaged in exit interviews.
2. To identify all Government of Jersey policies relating to the recruitment and retention of teaching staff and assess their effectiveness.
3. To gather and examine the views of stakeholders regarding the key challenges faced in recruiting and retaining teachers.

5.4.2 Input During Parallel Execution
Two processes cannot both take input from the same device at the same time. To make sure that only one recipe tries to take input from the terminal at once, make will invalidate the standard input streams of all but one running recipe. If another recipe attempts to read from standard input it will usually incur a fatal error (a 'Broken pipe' signal).
It is unpredictable which recipe will have a valid standard input stream (which will come from the terminal, or wherever you redirect the standard input of make). The first recipe run will always get it first, and the first recipe started after that one finishes will get it next, and so on.
We will change how this aspect of make works if we find a better alternative. In the mean time, you should not rely on any recipe using standard input at all if you are using the parallel execution feature; but if you are not using this feature, then standard input works normally in all recipes.


text: Using a structural dynamic programming model, we investigate the relative importance of family background variables and individual specific abilities in explaining cross-sectional differences in schooling attainments and wages. Given scholastic ability, household background variables (especially parents' education) account for 68% of the explained crosssectional variations in schooling attainments. When the effects of household background variables on ability are also taken into account, the percentage raises to 85%. However, individual differences in wages are mostly explained by abilities. Only 27% of the explained variation in wages is accounted for by parents? background variables as opposed to 73% by unobserved abilities (orthogonal to family background variables). When scholastic ability is correlated with family background variables, ability endowments explain as much as 81% of individual wages.

How to Line a Pan
This time-saving trick comes in handy when you're making brownies or fudge.
Lining a Baking Pan with Foil
This method of keeping things from sticking to the pan is used most often for brownies, bar cookies, and fudge. The additional advantage of this method is that it allows you to easily lift the bars out of the pan before cutting them.
Lining pan with foil
 1. Tear a piece of foil that is larger than the pan. Shape the foil over the outside of the pan bottom. Cut slits at the corners to make it fit neatly.
 2. Gently lift the shaped foil off the pan.
 3. Turn the pan over and fit the shaped foil into it. Leave an inch or two of overhang to use as "handles" to lift the baked goods out of the pan.


Deacons who divorce
Question: If a permanent deacon gets divorced and remarried, would he still be a permanent deacon?
Allen Eberle, Hague, N.D.
Answer: No, a man in that situation could not continue to function as a permanent deacon. However, some distinctions are necessary so as to clarify the answer.
While celibacy is not required of a married man who becomes a permanent deacon, celibacy does apply to some permanent deacons. First, if an unmarried man becomes a permanent deacon, he is required to promise celibacy at his ordination and to remain celibate for the rest of his life. Secondly, if the spouse of a permanent deacon dies, he is expected to live celibately from that point forward.
In the unfortunate situation you describe of a deacon who is divorced, he also would be expected to live celibately from that point forward.
In the thankfully rare situation where permanent deacons become divorced, the local bishop usually permits such a deacon to continue ministering as a deacon. But the bishop also needs to ensure that the deacon did all he could to reasonably save his marriage, and did not casually cast aside his marital vows, which would be a scandal. Presuming this can be assured and that scandal can be avoided, the bishop can permit a divorced permanent deacon to continue ministering. But, as already stated, he must live celibately from that point forward.
What if the deacon were to refuse to follow Church law, either by flagrantly divorcing and remarrying or by remarrying after the death of a spouse? In such cases, he would be suspended from practicing his ministry as a deacon and likely be laicized. Since ordination confers a character, he would still, technically, be a deacon but could in no way perform the ministry of the diaconate.
Origin of Lent
Question: Where does the word "Lent" come from? In my native Spanish we just call the season cuaresma, which seems more descriptive.
Anna Gonzalez, Via email
Answer: You are right. The Latin title for this period is Quadragesima and is best translated, "40th day (before Easter)" or more loosely "the 40 days." Most of the Romance Languages keep this root in their words for the season (e.g. cuaresma, quaresma, carême, quaresima) and these are, as you say, more descriptive and less abstract.
The word "Lent" seems to come from Germanic roots wherein the words lenz and lente refer to the spring season when the days "lengthen." Thus the word "Lent" describes less the liturgical time frame and more the seasonal one. So, as the days lengthen and our thoughts move to Easter, beginning 40 days before, we spend time spiritually preparing for that greatest feast of the Church's year.
The notion of 40 days of course reminds us of the 40 days Christ spent in the desert fasting and praying in preparation for his public ministry. We are encouraged to go into the desert with him spiritually and thus also be strengthened through the spiritual exercises of resisting temptation, praying and fasting. "Giving up something" for Lent is not merely for its own sake, but rather to make room for other things. Thus, if we forgo some lawful pleasure, we can perhaps be freer to pray.


text: This paper studies platform bifurcation, the process in which a subgroup of users from an original platform launches an independent spin-off platform. We identify the effects of bifurcation using a difference-in-differences approach that exploits the introduction of spin-off platforms in an online platform incubator. We find that bifurcation leads to a strong overall increase in contributions. While contributions to the home platform decline, the two bifurcated platforms generate more combined user contributions and attract more new users compared to a single united platform. We further explore how interconnectivity and platform differentiation affect users' choice of platform. Our evidence indicates that users are less likely to migrate from an incumbent platform to a new, specialized platform when interconnectivity is strong but more likely to migrate when the specialized platform enables more differentiation. This paper is the first to empirically analyze the strategic implications of new platform entry at scale and to document the moderating role of interconnectivity and platform differentiation.


INPUT 2018
Forest Creatures Foundation is producing INPUT 2018, to be held in Brooklyn, NY. This is the first time the conference will be held anyplace in New York State.
INPUT is the International Public Television Conference, also known as the International Public Television Screening Conference. Its primary event is an annual global conference for public broadcasting professionals centered on three screening rooms simultaneously presenting some of the best and most innovative public television programming from around the world. The programs cover a variety of genres and must have been broadcast on public television. In any given year there will be sixty to one hundred countries represented at INPUT.
INPUT was founded on the principle that every culture is valuable and deserves respect and recognition. It stimulates an increased awareness of cultural, societal, and national sensibilities as it relates to public television programming from around the world.
Sometimes there is debate and disagreement regarding the merits of the program. There can be controversy, especially with programs that examine religious beliefs, cultural norms, and accepted or unaccepted behaviors. For example, INPUT has screened a program about "honor killings" that had been banned from broadcast in its country of origin.

Usage-based pricing: How does this work within Fivetran?
Written by Nicolas Beunen
Thursday 11 March, 2021
Fivetran, I've heard the name....
But what does it do?
The classic data integration tools force analysts to predict what insights they can get from a limited data set and then build a resource-intensive workflow around it that is dated and inflexible.
Fivetran changes that all, with its fully automated data pipeline built especially for analysts.
With automation extracting and loading the disparate data directly into your data warehouse, Fivetran provides a faster, better way to centralize all of your data sources so you can quickly model and obtain meaningful insights.
Pay only for the rows you consume
Pricing model of FivetranPricing is based on your Fivetran usage, simple. Consumption is based on the amount of'monthly active rows' within your warehouse. These'monthly active rows' (MARs) are only counted and thus invoiced when a row is updated or inserted in your warehouse.
Pricing scales logarithmically, which simply means, when you replicate more data through Fivetran, you'll see the value of one credit stretched across more rows. The more you use, the more a credit will be worth, the more rows can be inserted and updated per credit.
So to get a decent understanding of how many active rows you have per month, there's a simple calculation you can do:
Example of Fivetran pricing
Total amount of rows in your warehouse X the percentage of updated/new rows in your warehouse.
The resulting number will give you your total amount of monthly active rows. In this example we take into account that 10% of the rows are updated. This is an estimation. In general this percentage is somewhere between 10% and 20%.
The conversion rate of MARs to credits is determined by the consumption table. The more you use, the more a credit will be worth.
There are different pricing models
There a 3 main pricing tiers, that are especially designed to fit most use-cases/companies. In these 3 tiers, credits will be priced differently. You can always upgrade your plan if your usage has outgrown the current plan.
1. Starter - Jumpstart your data initiatives!
The starter platform gives you access to the pre-built connectors and post load transformations to get started with automating data integration to power your business insights.
This model is best fit for companies that have a small handful of web application sources that and don't really need real-time data.
1 Fivetran credit = $1.00
2. Standard - Control business logic and automate integrations
The standard platform unlocks the database connectors for your marketing, ERP, product or other data into your warehouse. This tier also grants access to the API's for programmatic management of your account. You'll also have access to 15-minute syncs for real-time reporting, which you can use to make better decisions.
This model is best fit for the biggest part of companies, as it supports all integration use-cases.
1 Fivetran credit = $1.50
3. Enterprise - Solve the most complex business requirements
The enterprise platform includes all features of the Starter and Standard models, but also includes additional support. By supporting VPN tunneling and having the possibility to use custom user roles, Fivetran can help maintain the internal security & compliance rules. This model also has a industry-unique SLA that guarantees your data access and your access to 5-minute syncs that maintain your business-critical data replication needs.
This model is best fit for companies that have advanced internal security and compliance rules/needs.
1 Fivetran credit = $2.00
So, how can we pay for all this awesomeness?
There are 2 payment options available for Fivetran at this point, monthly or annually:
1. Credit card
Paying via your credit card is definitely the fastest method. All you have to do is input your credit card details in your Fivetran account. That way, on a monthly cadence, your usage will be automatically billed. Of course you have access to detailed reports about billing in your Fivetran account to follow up on everything.
2. Contract
You can also leverage a contract by contacting the Fivetran sales team through Biztory. This method offers more possibilities to explore discounts, get best-practice advice on your use-case and get the highest possible value out of your purchase.
Does this sound like a lot of work or money? It is not.
Let's get in touch, we'll gladly show you how Fivetran will save you time and resources, make your data engineer's life easier and finally provide a stable and scalable solution to data pipelining.
You can always start a free trial, just get in touch with us and we'll hook you up!

ARTWORK > Secret Codewords of the NSA
Woodblock print by Annie Bissett depicting an X with a fingerprint inside
Japanese woodblock (mokuhanga)
6" x 6" (15.24 x 15.24 cm)
XKEYSCORE is a computer system used by the NSA to search and analyze internet data from many sources worldwide, enabling almost unlimited surveillance of anyone anywhere in the world. According to a Glenn Greenwald article in The Guardian, XKeyscore is a sort of custom search engine that allows analysts to search through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals. The data can be sorted by typing in a name, email address, or IP address, or extracted through queries, such as "My target speaks German but is in Pakistan -- how can I find him?"
One of the limitations of XKeyscore is storage. The database only has the capacity to store the massive volume of the data it collects for a few days, so essentially the XKeyscore system is best used for real time tracking of targets. In that short time frame, however, it seems to provide a very accurate digital fingerprint of any designated target in the world.
