Music While Riding A Motorcycle Are Beneficial
We all that one song, which when we listen, makes any significant problem in life look small. Listening to music is one of the proven ways to bring stress levels down.
While many people think like a reputable blogger for headphones and as what we believe this blogger has his own motorcycle too! this website (Iron Horse Trading) says that listening to music while riding a motorcycle or driving a car is risky, we would like to tell you; it isn't.
The research mentioned that chances of getting into an accident at 20 percent lower while listening to music while riding a motorcycle. It improves creativity and helps concentrate better.
High level of physical activity saves you from clinical depression later in life. E-Bikes are the best option to exercise outdoors, in the open greenery, in the park, and on the nation – congested roads. Applying outside helps to reduce your tension, confusion, anger, and depression.
And listening to music while you ride your bike and go to work or even go out on an adventure is something you'll love.
Top 10 reasons for listening to music while riding a bike is a good idea
riding with earbuds
Here are ten proven facts that encourage you to listen to music while riding a motorcycle:
1. Better alertness when you listen to music
all your senses are heightened because it has a positive effect on your brain. You are more alert to what's going on around you, without being too aware of it. Multitasking becomes easier your conscious mind is focused on the road, while your subconscious mind is busy finding something attractive.
2. Faster reaction time you ride your motorcycle on one route
it becomes muscle memory, and your focus reduces. It is natural and happens to anyone. If a speeding truck or car comes your way, you won't be very attentive. However, if you are listening to music, your subconscious mind is vigilant, so you react to a threat faster and take the necessary action.
3. Improved mental stability
Let's say, there's a car in front of your motorcycle and it isn't moving ahead. On any other casual day, you'd keep honking unless it runs but when you are listening to music, your reaction is going to be a little different. If the car isn't running, you'll want to get down and check if there's something wrong with the driver. That's the calming effect music has on your mind.
4. Soothing effective you are in a bad mood
leave it to your favorite genre of music to change it. Music generally has a soothing effect on you, which helps you to relax and let go of the negative or angry emotions and feelings. If you are feeling uncomfortable while riding your motorcycle because the weather is too hot and humid, listen to music and it won't be as bad.
5. Reduce environmental noise pollution
Listening to the loud sound of vehicles and their horns can be intimidating if you are a new driver. It can get you stressed, which can make things a lot worse. When you listen to music, this noise is replaced with songs that you love. You are aware of somewhere honking, but at least, it is a lot lower.
6. Better mood while going on a motorcycle ride is fun
it can get stressful if there is traffic the entire ride. Long wait at the signal and closed roads along with the truck can put you in a bad mood, which will ruin your trip and you will carry that mood for the rest of the day. Listening to music will make you a better judge of the situation, so you don't unnecessarily spoil your mood because of others.
7. No boring long rides
Long, dreamy rides with friends are enjoyable but traveling alone, especially for work can be boring. You know it well that nothing good is going to come out of procrastination. While talking to someone through the best earbuds for motorcycle is not the safest option, listening to your favorite playlist is.
8. Improved social status
Let's say you are on a road trip with this motorcycle group you found a few days ago. You don't know anyone but also don't know how to approach them. You would've definitely heard that music brings people together. Play the songs you like on your motorcycle's stereo system and you'll start making friends.
9. A boost in creativity you are working on a creative project but can't think of how going forward with it
go on a ride on your motorcycle while listening to music to clear up your mind. Take a couple of rides and you'll get the idea and if you still can't think of anything, just relax because the best ideas come to the mind during the most unexpected situations.
10. Reflection of their personal music lovers
it is essential to express their personality. Also, others can tell a lot about your character depending on the genre of music you play. For example, you are playing pop music, your co-riders will think you are a cheery person. Playing angry or sad music reflects that you are upset and trying to let go off the anger.
Additionally, you build on your leg muscles like quadriceps muscles, hamstrings, calf muscles, hip flexors, Gluteus Maximus, and plantarflexion of the foot and dorsiflexion of the foot.

If you brine chicken in a high saline solution and and then cook it using a dry heat method it will come out salty. IF however you do the same thing and then cook it with a wet heat method e.g. soup it doesn't come out salty or seem affected by the brine. Why is this?
Salt dissolves in water. Brining is simply the process of soaking something in a saline solution so that either it absorbs saltwater, or the salinity of the pre-existing water approaches equilibrium with that of the brine. The end state is just a lot of water, some on/inside the meat and some outside, all with approximately the same salinity.
If you roast the result, you're evaporating most of the water but keeping the salt. If you boil it, then you're just reversing the brining process you followed in the first place, by diluting whatever salt (not to mention any other minerals/flavour) it has.
The salt in a brined chicken is not reacting with the meat, it's just dissolved in the water (which is in/on the meat). Give it a good enough "rinse" and the salt water will be gone.
In a Dry Heat method (such as smoking) the air around your meat is incredibly, well, dry. This dry air is therefore prone to absorb any moisture it comes in contact with, like the brine. The water is absorbed into the air and the salt remains. This results in a higher concentration of salt and is what is causing your bird to be'salty'.
If, however, the air is moist already or there is a'more available' source of moisture (wet method) then the humidity of the air surrounding your meat is already at (or near) it's capacity, that is the air is at it's maximum humidity or it's saturation point. The result is that the already moist air does not draw out the moisture leaving your dish moist and flavorful. In this case the broth will have a more balanced flavor.
Using a brine for a dry method is often a good thing, like a smoked turkey. But the remaining moisture and seasoning will be concentrated through the smoking process and so it requires the right balance of seasoning to get the desired result.
A good example you can look at to compare this is Pastrami vs. Corned Beef. They both start as a brined brisket, but pastrami is either dry roasted or smoked where corned beef is boiled.

Crops grown in Mars-like soil are safe to eat
Dutch scientists have announced that crops of four vegetables and cereals grown in soil similar to that on Mars are safe to eat.
Credit: Joep Frissel, University of Wageningen
Scientists at Wageningen University & Research Centre in the Netherlands are working on growing crops in Mars and Moon soil simulants. Just like the real Mars and Moon soil, these contain heavy metals in the same quantities. Four of the crops grown were tested for heavy metal content, and none were found to have concentrations that would be dangerous for human health. The plants are therefore safe to eat and, for some heavy metals, the concentrations were even lower than in crops grown in normal potting soil.
Earlier research by the Wageningen scientists had already demonstrated that crops are able to grow quite well on Mars and Moon soil simulants if organic matter is added to the soils. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and copper are known to be present in the soils. If they are taken up in the parts of the crops that may be eaten, they can make the vegetables inedible for humans.
"For radish, pea, rye and tomato we did a preliminary analysis and the results are very promising," says ecologist Wieger Wamelink. "We can eat them and I am very curious as to how the tomatoes will taste. Unfortunately, we have not been able to test all ten crops yet, which is why we set up a crowdfunding campaign through which people can feel a genuine participation in this research. Donors will receive a variety of potential gifts of which my personal favourite is a dinner based on the harvest that will include potatoes grown on Mars soil simulant."
Nearly €13,000 has been raised so far. A total of €25,000 is needed to test the remaining six crops, including potatoes. With additional funding, the team will not only look at heavy metals, but also vitamins, flavonoids (they play a big role in determining the taste) and alkaloids that may be poisonous.
"It's important to test as many crops as possible, to make sure that settlers on Mars have access to a broad variety of different food sources," adds Wamelink.
In these latest experiments, the radishes had the highest amount of metals overall, with a relatively high amount of aluminium, iron and nickel. It is still unknown if the contamination only comes from the outside of the plant or also from the inside. If the radishes were properly washed, the content would probably be lower. It was very odd that the crops grown in Earth potting soil had higher contents of lead, arsenic and copper than the Martian soil simulant in particular.
It is still unknown if the take up of heavy metals is the same on Earth as it would be under the lower gravity conditions found on Mars and the Moon. Only research 'on site' is likely to solve that question. NASA is planning to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s, while billionaire Elon Musk hopes to achieve that during the 2020s.

NASA confirms largest ever haul of exoplanets
NASA's Kepler space telescope has verified 1,284 new exoplanets – the single largest finding of planets to date.
NASA's Kepler mission has verified 1,284 new planets – the single largest finding of planets to date.
"This announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler," said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth."
Analysis was performed on Kepler's July 2015 planet candidate catalogue, which identified 4,302 potential planets. For 1,284 of the candidates the probability of being a planet is greater than 99 percent – the minimum required to earn the status of "planet." An additional 1,327 candidates are more likely than not to be actual planets, but they do not meet the 99 percent threshold and will require additional study. The remaining 707 are more likely to be some other astrophysical phenomena. This analysis also validated 984 candidates previously verified by other techniques.
"Before the Kepler space telescope launched, we did not know whether exoplanets were rare or common in the galaxy. Thanks to Kepler and the research community, we now know there could be more planets than stars," said Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director. "This knowledge informs the future missions that are needed to take us ever-closer to finding out whether we are alone in the universe."
Kepler captures the discrete signals of distant planets – decreases in brightness that occur when planets pass in front of, or transit, their parent stars – much like the recent Mercury transit of our Sun. Since the discovery of the first planets outside our Solar System over two decades ago, researchers have resorted to a laborious, one-by-one process of verifying suspected planets.
This latest announcement, however, is based on a statistical analysis method that can be applied to many planet candidates simultaneously. Timothy Morton, associate research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey and lead author of the scientific paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, used a method to assign each Kepler candidate a planet-hood probability percentage – the first such automated computation on this scale, as previous statistical techniques focused only on sub-groups within the greater list of planet candidates identified by Kepler.
"Planet candidates can be thought of like bread crumbs," said Morton. "If you drop a few large crumbs on the floor, you can pick them up one by one. But, if you spill a whole bag of tiny crumbs, you're going to need a broom. This statistical analysis is our broom."
In the newly-validated list of planets, nearly 550 could be rocky planets like Earth, based on their size. Nine of these orbit in their sun's habitable zone, which is the distance from a star where orbiting planets can have surface temperatures that allow liquid water to pool. With the addition of these nine, 21 exoplanets are now known to be members of this exclusive group.
"They say not to count our chickens before they're hatched, but that's exactly what these results allow us to do based on probabilities that each egg (candidate) will hatch into a chick (bona fide planet)," said Natalie Batalha, co-author of the paper and a Kepler mission scientist. "This work will help Kepler reach its full potential by yielding a deeper understanding of the number of stars that harbour potentially habitable, Earth-size planets, a number that's needed to design future missions to search for habitable environments and living worlds."
Of the nearly 5,000 total planet candidates found to date, more than 3,200 have now been verified, and 2,325 of these were discovered by Kepler. Launched in March 2009, Kepler is the first NASA mission to find potentially habitable Earth-sized planets. It has monitored 150,000 stars over a range of 3,000 light years, measuring the tiny, telltale dip in the brightness of a star that can be produced by a transiting planet.
In 2018, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will use the same method to monitor 200,000 bright nearby stars and search for planets, focusing on Earth-sized and Super-Earth-sized.

Are we alone? Setting some limits to our uniqueness
A new paper suggests a way to simplify the famous Drake equation, based on observations of exoplanets discovered in the past two decades.
Are humans unique and alone in the vast universe? This question – summed up in the famous Drake equation – has for a half-century been one of the most intractable and uncertain in science. A new paper, however, shows that the recent discoveries of exoplanets combined with a broader approach to the question makes it possible to assign a new empirically valid probability to whether any other advanced technological civilisations have ever existed.
The authors show that, unless the odds of advanced life evolving on a habitable planet are astonishingly low, then humankind is not the universe's first technological, or advanced, civilisation. The paper, published in Astrobiology, also shows for the first time just what "pessimism" or "optimism" mean when it comes to estimating the likelihood of extraterrestrial life.
"The question of whether advanced civilisations exist elsewhere in the universe has always been vexed with three large uncertainties in the Drake equation," said Adam Frank, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study. "We've known for a long time approximately how many stars exist. We didn't know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbour life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilisations might last before becoming extinct."
"Thanks to NASA's Kepler satellite and other searches, we now know that roughly one-fifth of stars have planets in habitable zones where temperatures could support life as we know it. So one of the three big uncertainties has now been constrained."
The third big question – how long civilisations might survive – is still completely unknown. "The fact that humans have had rudimentary technology for roughly ten thousand years doesn't really tell us if other societies would last that long, or perhaps much longer," he said. But Frank and co-author, Woodruff Sullivan at the University of Washington, found they could eliminate that term altogether by simply expanding the question.
"Rather than asking how many civilisations may exist now, we ask 'Are we the only technological species

Why Do The Weeds Stay Green?
August 07, 1988
The dormant, drought-burned grass looks like straw, but the weeds perversely remain green and lush. Why? Paul Sorensen, associate professor of biological sciences at Northern Illinois University in De Kalb, explains that weeds' long roots reach down to deeper soils and moisture.
''They have survivability,'' he says. ''That's why they're weeds. Those we recognize as nuisance plants have a great range of tolerance for adverse conditions, such as wind, pests and drought.''
Plants that have a kind of photosynthesis called the C-4 photosynthetic pathway have built-in drought resistance, he explains. Most plants follow the C-3 pathway.
''Many C-4 plants are found in desert environments, closer to the equator, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn,'' Sorensen says. ''Corn is a C-4 plant. That's why even when corn's leaves curl in the drought, they're still green.
''Crabgrass also is a C-4 plant. We usually get a midseason drought, not as bad as this, but you'll notice that crabgrass always stays green, even when the bluegrass lawn around it turns brown.''
Sorensen points to bluegrass as ''the greatest weed we have. Its adaptability is beyond belief. It's found everywhere except on high cliffs. It's present in woods where there is deep, deep shade. You don't find crabgrass in the woods.'' -

text: An adequate reproducibility in the description of tissue architecture is still a challenge to diagnostic pathology, sometimes with unfortunate prognostic implications. To assess a possible diagnostic and prognostic value of quantitiative tissue architecture analysis, structural features based on the Voronoi Diagram (VD) and its subgraphs were developed and tested. A series of 27 structural features were developed and tested in a pilot study of 30 cases of prostate cancer, 10 cases of cervical carcinomas, 8 cases of tongue cancer and 8 cases of normal oral mucosa. Grey level images were acquired from hematoxyline-eosine (HE) stained sections by a charge coupled device (CCD) camera mounted on a microscope connected to a personal computer (PC) with an image array processor. From the grey level images obtained, cell nuclei were automatically segmented and the geometrical centres of cell nuclei were computed. The resulting 2-dimensional (2D) swarm of pointlike seeds distributed in a flat plane was the basis for construction of the VD and its subgraphs. From the polygons, triangulations and arborizations thus obtained, 27 structural features were computed as numerical values. Comparison of groups (normal vs. cancerous oral mucosa, cervical and prostate carcinomas with good and poor prognosis) with regard to distribution in the values of the structural features was performed with Student's t-test. We demonstrate that some of the structural features developed are able to distinguish structurally between normal and cancerous oral mucosa (P = 0.001), and between good and poor outcome groups in prostatic (P = 0.001) and cervical carcinomas (P = 0.001). We present results confirming previous findings that graph theory based algorithms are useful tools for describing tissue architecture (e.g., normal versus malignant). The present study also indicates that these methods have a potential for prognostication in malignant epithelial lesions.

Top 10 Least Stressful Jobs in Healthcare 2019
Top 10 Least Stressful Jobs in Healthcare 2019
Many associate the healthcare industry with high stress levels, but its not without its holdouts. While medical practitioners and positions in nursing are very demanding, there are still many career paths in the industry that are among the least stressful of any occupation!
CareerCast recently assessed the stress level of over 200 occupations based on 11 key factors and, as it turns out, several healthcare careers made the list!
10. Optometrist
Optometrist - Least Stressful Jobs
Optometrists diagnose and treat visual disorders and prescribe glasses or contacts. They have a stress level of 17/100 because many of them own their own practices and have the stress of being a business owner and managing employees.
If not for those factors, they might come in higher on the low-stress list because of their placid and comfortable work environments, great yearly salary, and normal business hours. For those wanting to own their own business and work in the health industry, becoming an optometrist may be the right path for you.
10. Physical Therapist
Physical Therapist - Least Stressful Jobs
Physical Therapists help improve mobility and alleviate pain of disabled persons. They have a stress rating of 14/100, but come in #7 on the list because of their tiring, trying jobs. Not only do they go through their own stresses, but they usually become involved in the emotional trials of their patients.
Also, they are on their feet all day and physically assist their patients. Their work environment is relatively good, however, and physical therapist job growth and salary potential are high, so it's a field worth considering, especially if you like working with others and helping people.
9. Occupational Therapist
Occupational Therapist - Least Stressful Jobs
Occupational Therapists help various types of impaired persons develop skills to achieve self-reliance. Coming in at 13/100 on the stress scale, they have a lower stress job because most of them like their jobs and gain a sense of purpose and enjoy helping others gain a level of freedom most people take for granted. It also helps that the job market for an OT is pretty solid, so they don't have to worry about not being able to find a job.
8. Speech-Language Pathologist
Speech Language Pathologist - Least Stressful Jobs
Speech Language Pathologists provide treatment to those with hearing, speech, and language disabilities. They have a stress level of 12/100, but come in #4 on the list because their job can get trying at times and many work at schools and travel a lot for their jobs.
Still, there is a strong sense of purpose and a love of helping others among SLPs. With an above average job growth outlook, they don't have to worry about their jobs disappearing any time soon.
7. Dental Hygienist
Dental Hygienist - Least Stressful Jobs
Dental Hygienists examine teeth and provide preventative care and education to patients. They have a relatively low stress job coming in at 12/100 on the stress scale, which is due in-part to their comfortable, quiet work environments and good potential for job growth.
Dental Hygienists also enjoy a comfortable salarymaking this one of the best choices if you're looking for a relaxing position.
6. Medical Laboratory Technician
Medical Laboratory Technician
Medical laboratory technicians work outside of the typical direct-care, clinical setting to evaluate the accuracy of tests and interpret them. They use state-of-the-art biomedical instrumentation to analyze bodily fluids, tissues, microorganisms, and others.
CareerCast puts medical laboratory technicians at a stress rating of only 10.31, likely due to the nature of the job not directly dealing with patients. Although these techs play a fundamental role in the healthcare system, they do not experience the stresses that come with direct patient care.
5. Dietitian
Dietitian - Least Stressful Jobs
Dietitians come in midway on our least stressful healthcare jobs rankings. They're responsible for instructing patients about proper nutritional care and helping to develop meal plans and strategies to manage weight and achieve a healthy lifestyle. They have a stress rating of 10/100, but come in at #5 because of their relatively busy work life and interaction with clients.
Most say they have a pleasant and drama free environment, but they have to deal with emotional stresses tied with weight loss and people's vulnerabilities--people being hangry.
There is good job growth for dietitians because their position is increasingly in demand with today's progressively health-conscious population. Additionally, running a practice as a dietitian can be highly rewarding if the career draws your interest.
4. Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacy Tech
Pharmacy technicians work alongside pharmacists to answer patient questions about particular drugs, prepare prescriptions, stock the pharmacy's inventory, and maintain patient profiles.
Their position is of relatively low stress due to the environment they typically work in, outside of the hospital and clinical setting. They are not responsible for the direct care of patients, and thus don't harbor any of the mental or emotional stress that comes along with it.
CareerCast gives pharmacy tech's a stress score of 9.10.
3. Medical Records Technician
Medical Records Technician
Medical records technicians are responsible for managing, organizing, and analyzing the medical data collected by healthcare providers, including information about diagnoses, x-rays, lab findings, and treatment plans.
According to CareerCast, they're rated among least stressful jobs at a score of 8.57. Due to the nature of the job, records techs aren't as emotionally invested in patients as other healthcare professionals an don't feel the stresses that a nurse or primary care physician feels.
2. Audiologist
Audiologist - Least Stressful Jobs
Audiologists diagnose and treat patients hearing and balance problems, and enjoy the lowest stress job in the healthcare industry. With a stress rating of 6.3 (out of 100), it is a very low stress job for any industry.
Reasons for audiologists' low stress quotient include the fact that they usually work in quiet environments, and have a great deal of control over their schedules. If you're looking for one of the least stressful healthcare jobs, Audiologist is definitely the way to go.
1. Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
Diagnostic medical sonographers come in at #1 with a stress score of only 5.11! If you're for a low-stress option to work as a fundamental member of a healthcare team, this may be the career path for you!
Sonographers are primarily thought of in reference to maternity and pregnancies, but they use also use their skills to diagnose patient traumas and in cardiology to detect blocked arteries or issues with the heart.
While any job carries with it anxieties and baggage, these jobs have some of the best work environments, salaries, work loads, and job growth. It's impossible to touch on all of the complexities and challenges that come with specific patients and job duties, so we listed the positions that are involve lower stress than others and that exist in a field where tension and demand can be high.
It's also worth noting that most of the jobs on CareerCast's least-stressful list were distinguished by high levels of anticipated growth because nothing reduces workplace stress levels quite like job security.

Real plane curve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In mathematics, a real plane curve is usually a real algebraic curve defined in the real projective plane.
Since the real number field is not algebraically closed, the geometry of even a plane curve C in the real projective plane is not a very easy topic. Assuming no singular points, the real points of C form a number of ovals, in other words submanifolds that are topologically circles. The real projective plane has a fundamental group that is a cyclic group with two elements. Such an oval may represent either group element; in other words we may or may not be able to contract it down in the plane. Taking out the line at infinity L, any oval that stays in the finite part of the affine plane will be contractible, and so represent the identity element of the fundamental group; the other type of oval must therefore intersect L.
There is still the question of how the various ovals are nested. This was the topic of Hilbert's sixteenth problem. See Harnack's curve theorem for a classical result.

These subterranean caverns were discovered accidentally in 1879 by two boys at play who fell through a hole. In 1931, explorations continued where tunnels led further into the depths. Now you can explore these depths too aided by a trained guide. One of the highlights of the cave is the underground stream of crystal clear water. You can also mine for gems and fossils - although the baubles are not native to the cave.

PaperCut includes Find Me printing which solves the problem of locating the closest printer from a host of available devices. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find users based on their physical location. It is sometimes referred to as "Pull Printing", "Push Printing" or "Follow Me" printing. It is an ideal solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.
Users simply print to a single global virtual queue then go to a print release station and release their print job(s).
Printer Load Balancing
Printer load balancing automatically distributes print jobs between two or more printers. Load balancing is generally used to equally distribute print jobs across a pool of printers saving valuable time in document output for the user and at the same time balancing the wear and tear among printer devices. Load balancing can be implemented in PaperCut as part of Find Me Printing or separately without the need for release stations in a direct printing environment.
Clustering allows your organisation to ensure your printing services are not affected if anything should happen to your main server. PaperCut is a cluster compatible application and is supported under Windows (Microsoft Cluster Server / MSCS, Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager / MSFCM, Vetitas Cluster Server / VCS) and Linux (Novell Cluster Services / NCS, Linux-HA) at all levels of the application, including:
- Clustering at the print spooler service layer by integrating with clustering services
- Failover based clustering at the Application Server layer using clustering services
- At the database layer by utilising cluster aware databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL or Oracle

Summary Article: Rusk, (David) Dean (_PHONE_) from The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia with Atlas and Weather guide
US Democrat politician. He was secretary of state to presidents J F Kennedy and L B Johnson 1961–69, and became unpopular through his involvement with the Vietnam War.
He was prominent in Korean War negotiations. Convinced of the need not to appease communist expansionism, he played a key part in the US decision to defend South Korea against invasion by North Korea. However, he advised President Kennedy against the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961.
Early career Rusk was born in Cherokee County, Georgia, the son of a Presbyterian minister, and studied politics at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. He taught political science on his return to the USA, before military service during the World War II, where he was involved in intelligence and guerrilla operations in Burma (now Myanmar). He joined the US State Department after the war and progressed to becoming assistant secretary for Far Eastern affairs 1950–51. In 1952, when the Republican general Dwight Eisenhower was elected president, Rusk left the State Department to become president of the internationalist Rockefeller Foundation.
A hawk Despite criticism from peace campaigners, Rusk never wavered in his advocacy of a firm interventionist line in Vietnam in an effort to halt the perceived spread of communism. Having been appointed secretary of state by Kennedy, he continued in that office under Lyndon Johnson, before retiring in 1969 to teach international law at the University of Georgia. Liberal on social issues but hawkish and internationalist on external matters, Rusk was an archetypal 'defence Democrat'.

We investigated detailed conditions for synthesizing the tubular form of MCM-41 mesoporous aluminosilicate. The method is the delayed neutralization method in which the rate of neutralization is one of the controlling factors. Rapid neutralization results in the particulate form while gradual neutralization leads to tubules. It is found that the tubule morphology has several sub-categories. There are thick-walled, think-walled hollow tubular MCM-41 and solid core tubules. There are void structures in the channel framework that makes the nanochannels to be effectively interconnected.

Climate change and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Photo: US EPA
JANRUARY 2011 --The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (IDNL) is identified as one the top 25 US National Parks in peril due to climate disruption, according to the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization. On January 27th, 2011 more than 25 researchers, scientists, and natural resource managers convened at the IDNL training center to discuss recommendations for a strategic plan being developed for the National Lakeshore by the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). Topics included natural resource management, research opportunities, and how climate change might be considered in this plan. Scientests from Ecologists from The Field Museum's Division of Environment, Culture, and Conservation (ECCo) presented information on projected climate change impacts to the region and facilitated the discussion. Recommendations will appear in the NPCA strategic plan due to be completed in Summer 2011.

"How many days until our trip?" and "When are we going to Disney World?" are questions you are likely to hear again and again as soon as you let your family know you are planning a Disney vacation. Having a way to count the days can make it easier on everyone — kids can check the number of days at a glance, and mom and dad won't have to answer the same question each day. Read on for some great countdown ideas, and enjoy the time leading up to your Disney vacation.
Mark the calendar: It sounds silly, but simply having the date marked on a calendar in plain view will help. Let the kids decorate the week with Mickey Mouse and Disney themed stickers, and post the calendar in a busy room like the kitchen. Older kids will be able to count the days, and little ones will be able to have a better visual of just "when" you are going as well.
Make a chain: Make an old fashioned paper chain using Disney themed papers (look in the scrapbook section of your local craft store for some great papers). Make one link for each day of your trip, and tear a link each night before you go to bed. If you have small children who are learning their numbers, count the links each night. Hang the chain in a visible area for a great visual reminder of just "how many days" are left.
Make a "thermometer": Draw or trace a thermometer image onto poster board, and color in a little each day, so that everyone can see at a glance how far off your trip is. You don't have to use a traditional thermometer — you can use Disney paper and cut any shape you'd like to represent your trip.
Fill a balloon: If you are feeling crafty, trace or print out a balloon shape onto poster board and hang it in a visible area. Use a Mickey Mouse paper punch to cut "Mickey Heads" from colorful paper. Cut one head for each day until your trip. Each day, attach another "head" with glue. When the balloon is full, it is time to go!


preserved if they are for nodes being created. However, when a name
 label is input for a node that already exist in DNS data being
 augmented or updated, the situation is more complex. Implemenations
 may retain the case first input for such a label or allow new input
 to override the old case or maintain separate copies preserving the
 input case.
 For example, if data with owner name "foo.bar.example" is input and
 then later data with owner name "xyz.BAR.example" is input, the name
 of the label on the "bar.example" node, i.e. "bar", might or might
 not be changed to "BAR" or the actual input case could be preserved.
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT DNS Case Insensitivity
 Thus later retrieval of data stored under "xyz.bar.example" in this
 case can easily result is obtaining data with "xyz.BAR.example". The
 same considerations apply when inputting multiple data records with
 owner names differing only in case. From the example above, if an "A"
 record is stored under owner name "xyz.BAR.example" and then a second
 "A" record under "XYZ.BAR.example", the second MAY be stored with the
 first (lower case initial label) name.
 the results of inconsistent capitalization in a Master File are
 unpredicatable output capitalization.
4.3 Wildcard Matching
 There is one additional instance of note, which reflects the general
 rules that output case reflects input case unless there is
 conflicting capitalization in the DNS database or the output case is
 hidden by name compression. This is when a query matches a wildcard
 in the DNS database at a server. In that case, the answer SHOULD
 reflect the input case of the label or labels that matched the
 wildcard unless they are replaced by an indirect label which MAY
 point to a name with different capitalization.
5. Internationalized Domain Names
 A scheme has been adopted for "internationalized domain names" and
 "internationalized labels" as described in [RFC 3490, 3454, 3491, and
 3492]. It makes most of [UNICODE] available through a separate
 application level transformation from internationalized domain name
 to DNS domain name and from DNS domain name to internationalized
 domain name. Any case insensitivity that internationalized domain
 names and labels have varies depending on the script and is handled
 entirely as part of the transformation described in [RFC 3454] and
 [RFC 3491] which should be seen for further details. This is not a
 part of the DNS as standardized in STD 13.
6. Security Considerations
 The equivalence of certain DNS label types with case differences, as
 clarified in this document, can lead to security problems. For
 example, a user could be confused by believing two domain names
 differing only in case were actually different names.
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT DNS Case Insensitivity
 DNS. It could be used as a case sensitive index into some data base
 system. Or it could be interpreted as binary data by some integrity
 or authentication code system. These problems can usually be handled
 by using a standardized or "canonical" form of the DNS ASCII type
 labels, that is, always map the ASCII letter value octets in ASCII
 labels to some specific pre-chosen case, either upper case or lower
 case. An example of a canonical form for domain names (and also a
 canonical ordering for them) appears in Section 8 of [RFC 2535]. See
 also [UNKRR].
 expectation that case will always be preserved. For example, although
 this would be quite rare, on a system with case sensitive email
 address local parts, an attempt to store two "RP" records that
 differed only in case would probably produce unexpected results that
 might have security implications. That is because the entire email
 address, including the possibly case sensitive local or left hand
 part, is encoded into a DNS name in a readable fashion where the case
 of some letters might be changed on output as described above.

Follow-up: almost nobody understands mirrors
A study on pigeons (3) found that, while pigeons likely did not process the image in the mirror as an image of themselves, they could use the mirror to determine the location of objects in the real world. That is, they understood that the mirror provided information about the space around them, rather than being its own separate space.
The gold standard of understanding mirrors is self-recognition, which is tested by putting a mark on the body of the animal somewhere where it cannot see it, then giving it a mirror. If the animal uses the mirror to figure out where the mark is, it's thought to understand that the mirror image is of itself. Evidence for this has been reported in several species of primates, elephants, dolphins, and the European Magpie (4). Only one bird! (So far. Many species haven't yet been tested.)
So, was the junco I saw "dumb" for not understanding the mirror? Of course not. Juncos have had no reason to learn about mirrors, and have lots of company in their confusion. However, was the junco maybe a little bit foolish to continue to attack the mirror after crashing into glass three, four, five times? I think so.

6 thoughts on "Follow-up: almost nobody understands mirrors
 1. Thanks for the research! I knew that pigs understand mirrors, because I read somewhere that they used them to locate food (and looked behind themselves, and not behind the mirror). I was not aware that so many other species, including pigeons have some sort of understanding of how mirrors work.

Big savings going begging
Find out more
As the new financial year begins, occupiers will be asking themselves how their business can make savings. Many could enjoy a more profitable year by reducing occupational costs, whether the savings come from rent, rates or service charges.
Here Ben Steer, Senior Surveyor in our Property Management team, explains how checking and challenging these costs can sometimes reap surprising rewards.
Big savings, sometimes running into millions of pounds, are going begging.
Why? Simply because thousands of occupiers fail to fully explore their options when it comes to reducing costs such as rent, rates and service charges.
As the new financial year begins, and the economic turmoil across Europe continues, many businesses will be analysing their costs and wondering where they can make savings.
The good news for occupiers is that the answer lies in their property, whether it's a shop, an office, an industrial/warehouse unit, or any other commercial premises. As is often the case checking the small print is a great place to start. The devil is in the detail, as they say.
The bad news for landlords is that occupiers are becoming increasingly savvy when it comes to reducing costs, and with good reason – the potential savings are often enormous.
Service charges represent a significant proportion of total operating costs for most office occupiers, running into millions of pounds for some major companies. They are also one of the main sources of conflict between landlords and tenants.
So why is it that when negotiating a lease tenants often focus heavily on rent payable, but then almost sign a blank cheque for their service charge liabilities?
The devil is in the detail
By checking and challenging service charges even small businesses can make savings that could be vital to their continued survival or greater success.
The first question a company needs to ask is 'are we being over-charged'? To help identify cost savings opportunities, it is important to check the following common scenarios:
- Is there vacant space?
- Has your service charge liability or insurance premium increased?
- Has your landlord run into financial difficulties or even entered into administration?
- Are you aware of any planned refurbishment works or environmental upgrades, or have any recently taken place?
Occupiers should ensure that they are charged in accordance with their lease obligations and that: landlords are spending their money wisely; they are not paying to upgrade their landlord's premises; charges are fair and reasonable; they have sufficient information to budget wisely; and that landlords are complying with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Code of Practice.
We have made substantial savings for our clients through challenging service charge liabilities and recovering incorrect payments, recently saving a Government department over £1million and a staggering £3.5million in service charges and insurance premiums for another major corporate occupier.
While representing a Plc client, in one case alone we were able to identify savings of £410,000 in backdated payments for the previous five years. On another asset, we saved £141,000 at the end of the service charge year through identifying inconsistencies and miscalculations with the lease. As a result, no extra sum was due.
Occupiers must take control and check liabilities
Mark Clapham, Director in our Rating team, enforces the message to occupiers to take control and check their occupancy charges. He adds: 'Through the provision and delivery of a comprehensive service covering appeals, rates mitigation initiatives in respect of underutilised space, and a specialist rate management service, we have saved clients millions of pounds over the course of the last five years.'
And the savings don't stop there. With rents forming the largest overhead after staff costs for many businesses, it makes sense to explore opportunities to restructure leases. With landlords keen to retain tenants they are often open to negotiation. To a large extent, it's a tenants market.
Even if your lease end date isn't imminent there are still opportunities to restructure your lease on more favourable terms and savings, once again, can be significant. Lease expiries, breaks and rent reviews can provide further opportunities to negotiate potential rent reductions, rent free periods, future break options or the removal of future liabilities such as dilapidations.
It is all money that rightly remains within the business, allowing for further investment, job creation and innovation, rather than going to landlords or into the Chancellor's coffers.

With the recent passing by parliament of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, 1998 (Act 120 of 1998), it is now possible to increase the coverage of registered marriages and divorces in South Africa. In the past, since certain unions were legally not recognised, the marriage statistics collected by the Department of Home Affairs excluded a large proportion of marriages, for example customary marriages among Africans. However, the passing of legislation on its own is a necessary but not sufficient condition to ensure that customary marriages are indeed registered. The aim of the paper is to explore ways of making sure that these marriages in particular and marriages in general, are adequately registered. The paper starts by outlining the relevance of statistics on marriages and divorces, drawing from published literature. This is followed by a discussion on registration issues and the challenges to be faced in trying to improve the registration of marriages and divorces. The paper ends with a discussion followed by a conclusion.

Reading Text Messages Secretly
You can read text messages on any phone, be it Android or iOS, without the knowledge of the target user. All you need is a phone spy service for it. Such services are not rare nowadays. There are so many apps that advertise phone spying solutions with top-notch services.
How can I read someones text messages without them knowing?
So you can read text messages from another phone without them knowing. While for Android phone you require a one-time app installation, the app always runs in stealth mode. Once the app is installed, the app icon vanishes from the menu list.


It has become common to find a convenience store that also sells gas. These data describe the sales over time at a franchise outlet of a major U.S. oil company. Each row summarizes sales for one day. This particular station sells gas, and it also has a convenience store and a car wash. The column labeled Sales gives the dollar sales of the convenience store, and the column Volume gives the number of gallons of gas sold. Formulate the regression model with dollar sales as the response and number of gallons sold as the predictor. When checking the conditions for using the SRM, remember that these data are sequential.
(a) Give a confidence interval for the difference in average sales in the convenience store between days on which the station sells 2,000 gallons of gas and those on which the station sells 3,000 gallons.
(b) Is $1,800 an unusually low level of sales in the convenience store on a day that the pumps record having sold 3,000 gallons?

Using thinner layers will prevent the edges of the stuffed pasta from becoming too thick. The pasta dough for stuffed pastas should not be allowed to dry before beginning the preparation process. It is best to have the pasta moist so that the layers will stick together better when sealed.
- Fillings can be as simple as one or two ingredients to several ingredients used in special recipes. Ingredients, such as meats, fish, cheese, vegetables, and herbs, are used in preparing fillings for stuffed pastas. It is common for eggs to be used in fillings to bind ingredients together.
- The filling used should be as free of moisture as possible to prevent the pasta from becoming soggy. Remove as much moisture as possible from all ingredients before mixing together.
- If using a moist filling, do not let the pasta set too long before cooking because the moisture from the filling may cause the pasta to stick to the surface where it has been placed.
- Be sure the filling is completely prepared before starting to work with the pasta so the pasta does not dry out while you are preparing the filling.
- When adding filling to pasta, do not over fill because too much filling will not allow enough room for the edges to seal properly.

Clear and Colored Acrylic Contact Balls
Clear and Colored Acrylic Balls
The most common type of contact ball is made from acrylic plastic. It comes in three types: clear, colored or ultraviolet (black light-activated). The Renegade acrylic balls are made to a high-quality standard. Perfectly round, without inclusions, scratches or blemishes. Contact jugglers often select colored acrylic balls or stage balls if they are going to be used outdoors. A clear acrylic ball can act as a magnifying glass and burn your hands if used in direct sunlight.
- Clear and colored acrylic balls made in small sizes (41mm, 52m, 64mm 70mm) are mostly used for multi-ball contact juggling or by people with small hands.
- Clear and colored acrylic balls in larger sizes (76mm, 82mm, 95mm, 100mm, 120mm) are for singlehand manipulation.
- Ultraviolet (UV) balls are made with a special pigment so they illuminate when under black lights. The balls glow with a bluish tint.
- Stage balls are a great way to learn contact juggling. They are cheaper than acrylic balls and do not make a noise when dropped.
Pro tips (advanced and intermediate contact juggler)
There is a big quality difference between brands of acrylic balls. The vast majority of contact balls are made of recycled acrylic. This affects the clarity of the ball. Using lower-grade material will result in a ball with a slight grey tint, which is from dust or dirt from the factory. The best balls are made from recycled acrylic produced by a Japanese automated factory that molds with new material. The worst balls come from Chinese factories, which are dirty and use recycled source material. Balls made with new acrylic are have the best clarity by far but cost at least twice as much. Our acrylic contact balls are made from Japanese regrind.

Workflow mapping can be used to create intelligent forms that show the user fields and information based on their responses to previous elements. For instance, your form might ask the parent how their child will be transported to school. If they answer 'Parent pickup/drop-off', that can trigger a field to appear for 'Alternative Driver' to designate who can pick the child up when the parents are unavailable; or if they select 'School Bus', you can make a dropdown appear where they can select their nearest bus stop. The idea is to minimize clutter and confusion by only displaying fields that are relevant to the user.
Enabling Workflow Mapping
In the Ecollect editor, choose the element that will become visible based on another element's value. Enable the Workflow Mapping option and then click on the icon. This will gray out most of the screen except for the elements that are eligible to be the determinant element. If the element you want is not available, try saving the form first and try again. Once you link the determinant element, it should be highlighted in orange whenever the initial element is selected.
Enter the Value for Visibility. This is the value of the determinant element that will trigger this element to appear. It can be set to multiple possible values, using the pipe (|) character. You could trigger the appearance of the dependent element for grades 1 through 4 with the value 1|2|3|4.
If the determinant element has choices this separate display and stored values (such as a grade level element with choices like Kindergarten|0 and Ninth|9) then the Value for Visibility must be set to the stored value (in this case, 0 or 9), not the visible text.
You can make multiple elements dependent on the same determinant element, and you can set a different Value for Visibility for each dependent element.
The determinant element can be almost any type of user input element, including text box, checkbox, dropdown, multiple choice, etc. If it is an element that allows multiple values, such as checkboxes, as long as one of the selections matches the Value for Visibility, the element will appear.
If the Value for Visibility is PART of the value of the determinant element, the dependent element will appear. For instance, if the Value for Visibility is day, the element will appear if the user selects Half day, Full day, or Multiple days.
Advanced Values for Visibility
The Value for Visibility works using Regex. If you know how to utilize Regex, there are many options for how you can use workflow mapping. Below are some examples of possible Values for Visibility and the scenarios that you would use them.
[^]+ - Visible if any value is selected/entered
^Sunday$ - Visible for the value of 'Sunday', but not for the value of 'Saturday/Sunday'
[0-5] - Equivalent to 0|1|2|3|4|5
^(?!.*Sunday).+$ - Visible for any value that does not contain 'Sunday'

PALMDALE – A comprehensive financial analysis by the California State Auditor (CSA) revealed that the City of Palmdale has one of the lowest risks of fiscal distress in California.
Of the 471 cities that were analyzed, Palmdale came in at the 405th lowest risk, putting it in the top 14 percent of California cities.
As part of the CSA's high-risk local government audit program, the Auditor has established a process for determining whether a local government agency is at risk of fiscal distress. The CSA launched its most comprehensive analysis of cities, and for the first time, make public an online dashboard ranking the fiscal health of over 470 California cities from highest to lowest risk, using ten key financial indicators. The dashboard is available at _URL_

California State Auditor's Methodology for Ranking California Cities Based on Fiscal Risk
The California State Auditor (State Auditor) analyzed financial information for 471 California cities to identify cities that may be at risk for fiscal distress. They assessed risk by performing various financial comparisons and calculations that they refer to as financial indicators, as discussed in more detail below. They analyzed the finances related to each city's governmental and business-type activities, including the general fund or main operating fund. Their analysis relied upon information from audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that they obtained through various sources such as city websites, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, the Electronic Municipal Market Access website, and the California State Controller's Office (State Controller). They also analyzed unaudited pension related information from the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and the State Controller.
They selected a set of 10 indicators that enabled them to assess each city's ability to pay its bills in both the short and long term. Specifically, the indicators measure each city's cash position or liquidity, debt burden, financial reserves, revenue trends, and ability to pay for employee retirement benefits. They used a points-based system to rank and categorize cities as either high, moderate, or low risk for fiscal distress. They weighted the results of the indicators by assigning varying numbers of points to each indicator based on their judgment of each indicator's relative importance. The table below summarizes the financial indicators and maximum points assigned to each indicator.

Preferences, Practices, and Virtues: An Ethical Reflection on the Universal Apostolic Preferences
The Society of Jesus has promulgated the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) for the decade 2019-29. We know what the UAPs are: to seek God, walk with the poor, accompany youth, and collaborate in the care of the earth. And we know what they are for: the ongoing conversion of persons and institutions in their commitment to the mission of reconciliation of justice. But what, exactly, is a "preference" anyhow? In this reflection, I draw on the moral tradition of virtue ethics to argue that the preferences are best understood as "practices" or, in other words, as the fundamental actions by which crucial virtues like mercy and justice are developed in persons and in institutions. I also argue that seeing the preferences as practices in the context of virtue ethics opens up fruitful possibilities for fostering engagement with the UAPs at Jesuit institutions of higher education.

Network architecture for large-scale CVE
Jiang, Bo Hong
Date of Issue2000
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This dissertation begins with a literature survey of the considerations for CVE system, data distribution and related works. A hybrid client-server with peer-to-peer audio/video communication network architecture is then proposed and implemented to address the issue of potential server bottleneck. The proposed architecture solves the Acting Server's potential bottleneck problem for including video/audio communication in CVE systems. Through directly streaming media communication between users, the workload of Acting Server is reduced tremendously. Thus each Acting Server can maintain the static and dynamic data efficiently, handle more simultaneous access to the same virtual environment, and make the system more robust and fault tolerant. It provides a solution to scalability of CVE system that supports audio/video real time communication.

 Appraiser = is the person who calculated a value the price or the rate, to a house or something.
 Appraiser = evaluador, valuador o tasador
 Appraisal = valorización, estimación, apreciación, tasación, evaluación
 In Spain I would say "tasador" and "tasación".
 We had a so big housing bubble, that everyone can understand these two words.

Sunken motor boat listed on National Register of Historic Places
LAKE GEORGE —Deep beneath the ice on Lake George, a newly designated national historic resource awaits exploration by scuba diving enthusiasts.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has listed the lake's first-ever gasoline-powered motorboat on the National Register of Historic Places, making it part of an underwater state park called "Submerged Heritage Preserves" that includes boats from the French and Indian War.
The 45-foot long Forward, built in 1906, was owned by W.K. Bixby of Bolton Landing and St. Louis, a noted early 20th century industrialist.
"There are 80,000 properties on the National Register, only 300 shipwrecks," said Wilton's Joseph Zarzynski, an underwater archaeologist and founder of Bateaux Below, a not-for-profit group that nominated the Forward for the National Register.
"It's very rare to find something from the 20th century on the register," Zarzynski said. "It took 20 years to get this done. It's sort of like creating a fine wine. We had to wait a little extra time."
The Forward is historically significant on two fronts.
First, it marked the transition from steam to gas-powered vessels on Lake George that ushered in a "Golden Age of Tourism."
Previously, only the very wealthy could enjoy the "Queen of American Lakes." Gas-powered motorboats allowed a whole new group of people to discover its charms.
Second, W.K. Bixby was a nationally prominent businessman, the president of American Car and Foundry Co. and a friend of Adolphus Busch of St. Louis brewery fame. Bixby donated millions for a medical school at Washington University in St. Louis and his son, Harold, was the financial patron of Charles A. Lindbergh's first-ever trans-Atlantic solo plane flight in 1927.
The Forward was built by the Gas Engine and Power Co. and Charles L. Seabury & Co., Consolidated on the Harlem River in New York. That boat yard later became Consolidated Shipbuilding, one of the nation's most famous shipbuilders until it closed in the 1950s. The site produced military vessels used in the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II. The Forward was one of the company's first recreational products. Continued...
"It has a niche in shipbuilding history," Zarzynski said.
After its closure, the boat yard — with 1,500 feet of waterfront — became today's Roberto Clemente State Park, a short distance from Yankee Stadium.
After the Bixby family's ownership, the Forward was operated as an excursion boat by Leonard Irish and Alden Shaw. In 1929, its crew made a dramatic rescue of eight passengers from the Miss Lake George tour boat that caught fire from a motor mishap and then sank. It's believed that in the 1930s, the Forward went down in the lake, possibly abandoned.
Divers first rediscovered it during the 1970s and Bateaux Below members relocated it in 1989, mapped the site and began trying to get it on the National Register.
Today, the boat rests in about 40 feet of 55- to 60-degree water about four miles north of the lake's south end and 1,500 feet east of Diamond Island.
"It's lying just like it went straight down," Zarzynski said. "About 40 to 50 percent of it is left. The bow is the most intact part. Sideboards have fallen apart. The two engines and twin-screwed propeller are there. It was one of the earliest gas engines."
He said nearly 750 people per year visit the site, which includes underwater signs.
"It's the heaviest-dived shipwreck in the lake," he said. "Its location is easy to get to. It can be enjoyed by beginning, intermediate or advanced divers. It's just like swimming into a museum."
"Submerged Heritage Preserves," free of charge, is the state's first underwater park for scuba divers. Other features are a 1758 floating gun boat called the Land Tortoise, a National Historic Landmark, and seven colonial bateaux known as "The Sunken Fleet of 1758."

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?
 - Connecting to N3
 N3 is the integrated network for the NHS, a combination of broadband connections and network services which are intended to link all NHS sites in England and Wales. Our N3 Consultancy service will help you to comply with NHS security policies.

What tricks make an iOS app feel responsive? By Laitkor Infosolutions iOS App development
- July 16, 2016
- Posted by: admin
- Category: iOS app
At the point when adding to an iOS app development, it is important that your application has greater execution. Your users expect it, and it will hurt your surveys if your application seems lethargic or moderate. There are a number of ways which can make an app responsive.
Making a responsive iOS app
1. Avoid using the main thread for processes that don't really need updates on the UI like reading from and writing to files, parsing a feed, etc.
2. There must be some content on the screen at all times as far as probable, even if the content is stale, and there is a feed updating in the background.
3. You must make sure that there is never a point of time in your app that a button or control is uncaring due to any handling. You must use background threads. Apple's cocoa framework has made it justly easy for developers to couple the power of multi-threading without needful in-depth awareness of how threads work.
4. Apart from these, there are some tips you need to consider while constructing the UI:
- You must use opaque opinions somewhere probable, specifically on table view cells. For view that is condensed with vibrant color background, the system has to truly calculate its color from the view beneath it. This demonstrates down the scroll speed of table view cells to a significant range.
- It is better idea to draw content on table view cells, rather that add Subview-ing UI Laberls or any UIViews for that matter.
Competition could also take place on the basis of pricing. Cost price may be the element on the basis of which the competitors generally compete with each other. Whose price structure is relative and comparatively low would be demanded more and all these platforms are reducing their cost in order to interact with large section of society and Azure at the same time is trying its best to be Developer friendly.
5. You must use Core Animation to your maximum benefit. This is an area of the API of iOS app development that can sometimes be poorly understood by devs. Cache UI elements intelligently. The should Rasterize flag on CALayer objects is a powerful tool that takes a great deal of pain out of caching.
6. You should also understand the behavior before caching. For example, the shouldRasterize flag can cause *damaging* concert influence if used on habitually invalidated views. The firmest drawing you can do is an elongated series of Core Graphics calls. If you are in an awfully concert intensive environment, an absolutely flattened set of calls in drawRect can be several times quicker than the intuitive application of many sub-views and a proportion of compositor work at render-time.
7. You can learn from the UITableView implementation and recycle frequently nullified/produced objects. Every alloc and dealloc is a presentation adverse, so if you are working to be doing a lot of it, try to find methods to decrease this load. There are some of the following ways which can make an app feel responsive:
- Use ARC to Manage Memory
- Use a reuse Identifier where Appropriate
- Set views as Opaque when possible
- Try not to Block the Main Thread
- Size Images to Image views
- Pick the Correct Collection
- Empower GZIP Compression
- Reuse and Lazy Load Views
- Reserve, cache, cache
- Consider Drawing
- Handle Memory Warnings
- Reuse Expensive Objects
- Maintain a deliberate detachment from Re-processing Data
- Prefer the True data Format
- Background Images Suitably
- Diminish your web footprint
- Pick correct data storage option
- Speed up Launch Time
Anticipate work that will need to be done in the near future. There must also be a Limit UI complexity. An app that is impeccably enhanced and follows *all* of the above suggestions would still feel slow if it takes many compliments and changeovers to get from one anticipated place to the succeeding. Start asynchronously rendering upcoming cells before your table views asks for them. The above stated tricks and many more indeed, can make iOS app feel more responsive.

Defining quality health care
The now accepted definition of quality focuses on you. The Maine Quality Forum and The Maine Quality Forum Advisory Council have adopted and are committed to the following definition of high quality health care promoted by the Institute of Medicine:
Safe – avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.·
Effective – providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit (avoiding under use and overuse, respectively).·
Patient-centered – providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.·
Timely – reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.·
Efficient – avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.·
Equitable – providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status."
Types of quality
To achieve a clearer understanding of quality health care, it is helpful to understand characteristics of quality within the categories of service quality and clinical quality.
Service quality is the term to describe the characteristics of care such as waiting times, ease of physical access, pleasant staff and clean comfortable surroundings. Service quality also includes such things as cleanliness of your hospital room and respectfulness of the person who draws your blood.
Clinical quality is the term used to describe such things as prescribing the correct medications, performing surgery as safely and appropriately as possible and involving the patient fully in their own care. It includes attributes such as the accuracy of a laboratory test, operating on the correct leg and providing enough information so that you understand your health risks or medical condition.
