Q: Cassandra inconsistencies in batch inserts/updates I am getting the following error message:
Cassandra timeout during write query at consistency ONE (0 replica(s) acknowledged the write over 1 required)
I am using Cassandra with an replication factor of 3.
Everything is working like as it should. But lately, I found an error. Maybe it occurs in Cassandra or in the datastax c# cassandra driver I am using.
To be 100% sure, I set in my tests all ConsistencyLevel-possiblities to ConsistencyLevel.Quorum. But I also tried ConsistencyLevel.Two.
The Problem occurred with both settings.
My problem is not the timeout, this is something I can solve.
I am concerned about the fact that I get an error message saying that 1  acknowledge (consistency ONE) is required. Although I set everything to ConsistencyLevel.Quorum or ConsistencyLevel.Two.
Without the WriteTimeoutException I never would have noticed, that maybe there is an consistency problem.
I also used tracing and got the following (deeper) error:
Cassandra.Session:  RequestHandler received exception Cassandra.WriteTimeoutException: Cassandra timeout during write query at consistency ONE (0 replica(s) acknowledged the write over 1 required)
Here is some test code:
var cluster =  Cluster.Builder().AddContactPoints("192.168.0.1", "192.168.0.2", "192.168.0.3", "192.168.0.4", "192.168.0.5")
.WithQueryOptions(new QueryOptions().SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum))
.WithCompression(CompressionType.LZ4).Build();
var session = cluster.Connect();
insertStatementTableX = session.Prepare(
   "INSERT INTO keyspace.x (a, b, c) VALUES (?, ?, ?);").SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum);
insertStatementTableY = session.Prepare(
   "INSERT INTO keyspace.y (a, b, c) VALUES (?, ?, ?);").SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum);
var batch = new BatchStatement();
batch.SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum);
batch.Add(insertStatementTableX.Bind(1, 2, 3)).SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum);
batch.Add(insertStatementTableY.Bind(2, 3, 4)).SetConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Quorum);
session.Execute(batch);

Can I assume, that all other inserts/updates now are also done with consistency level ONE although I set it to quorum?
Or is just the error message wrong?

A: In Cassandra, for write operations, a timeout is not a failure.
It means that time passed for the coordinator waiting for the actual replica to respond that the write succeeded.
It is not yet available for read but it was written to the batch log and you should not make the client retry. If you are looking for low latency and a guarantee that a write never fails (highest availability), you can change the write consistency to ANY.

Q: Use mean value theorem to prove the following Use the mean value theorem to prove that:
$$\cos(x)>1-\frac{x^2}{2}$$ for all $$x>0$$

A: I thought there may be better way than my answer... But I'll stick on my answer.
apply mean value theorem on $ f(x)= \frac{x^2}{2}+ \cos x $
since $f(0)=1$, we have some $ x_0 \in (0,x)$ such that
$ \frac{\frac{x^2}{2}+ \cos x -1}{x} = x_0 - \sin x_0 >0$
since $x>0$, we get the results.

A: okay...so this is my contribution
let $h(x)=cos(x)+((x^2)/2)$
the derivative of $h(x)=x-sin(x)$
for all x>0, the derivative of h is greater than 0.
i.e. $x-sin(x)>0$
let a,b be subsets of x>0, then there exist an number c such that the derivative of c is
$(f(b)-f(a))/b-a.$
let b=x and a=0 from the interval x>0.
hence, we have $(f(x)-f(0))/x-0=(cos(x)+((x^2)/2)-1-0)/x-0=$the derivative of c
but the derivative of c is greater than 0.
therefore, (cos(x)+((x^2)/2)-1)/x>0
           (cos(x)+((x^2)/2)-1)>0
this implies that cos(x)=1-(x^2)/2).PROVED.

3053 Phase Jitter Transfer in High Speed Data Links
Authors: Tsunwai Gary Yip
Phase locked loops in 10 Gb/s and faster data links are low phase noise devices. Characterization of their phase jitter transfer functions is difficult because the intrinsic noise of the PLLs is comparable to the phase noise of the reference clock signal. The problem is solved by using a linear model to account for the intrinsic noise. This study also introduces a novel technique for measuring the transfer function. It involves the use of the reference clock as a source of wideband excitation, in contrast to the commonly used sinusoidal excitations at discrete frequencies. The data reported here include the intrinsic noise of a PLL for 10 Gb/s links and the jitter transfer function of a PLL for 12.8 Gb/s links. The measured transfer function suggests that the PLL responded like a second order linear system to a low noise reference clock.

3052 Jitter Transfer in High Speed Data Links
Phase locked loops for data links operating at 10 Gb/s or faster are low phase noise devices designed to operate with a low jitter reference clock. Characterization of their jitter transfer function is difficult because the intrinsic noise of the device is comparable to the random noise level in the reference clock signal. A linear model is proposed to account for the intrinsic noise of a PLL. The intrinsic noise data of a PLL for 10 Gb/s links is presented. The jitter transfer function of a PLL in a test chip for 12.8 Gb/s data links was determined in experiments using the 400 MHz reference clock as the source of simultaneous excitations over a wide range of frequency. The result shows that the PLL jitter transfer function can be approximated by a second order linear model.

3050 Robust Stabilization against Unknown Consensus Network
Authors: Myung-Gon Yoon, Jung-Ho Moon, Tae Kwon Ha
This paper studies a robust stabilization problem of a single agent in a multi-agent consensus system composed of identical agents, when the network topology of the system is completely unknown. It is shown that the transfer function of an agent in a consensus system can be described as a multiplicative perturbation of the isolated agent transfer function in frequency domain. From an existing robust stabilization result, we present sufficient conditions for a robust stabilization of an agent against unknown network topology.

3048 Parameter Sensitivity Analysis of Artificial Neural Network for Predicting Water Turbidity
Authors: Chia-Ling Chang, Chung-Sheng Liao
The present study focuses on the discussion over the parameter of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Sensitivity analysis is applied to assess the effect of the parameters of ANN on the prediction of turbidity of raw water in the water treatment plant. The result shows that transfer function of hidden layer is a critical parameter of ANN. When the transfer function changes, the reliability of prediction of water turbidity is greatly different. Moreover, the estimated water turbidity is less sensitive to training times and learning velocity than the number of neurons in the hidden layer. Therefore, it is important to select an appropriate transfer function and suitable number of neurons in the hidden layer in the process of parameter training and validation.

3045 Ionanofluids as Novel Fluids for Advanced Heat Transfer Applications
Authors: S. M. Sohel Murshed, C. A. Nieto de Castro, M. J. V. Lourenço, J. França, A. P. C. Ribeiro, S. I. C.Vieira, C. S. Queirós
Ionanofluids are a new and innovative class of heat transfer fluids which exhibit fascinating thermophysical properties compared to their base ionic liquids. This paper deals with the findings of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of ionanofluids as a function of a temperature and concentration of nanotubes. Simulation results using ionanofluids as coolants in heat exchanger are also used to access their feasibility and performance in heat transfer devices. Results on thermal conductivity and heat capacity of ionanofluids as well as the estimation of heat transfer areas for ionanofluids and ionic liquids in a model shell and tube heat exchanger reveal that ionanofluids possess superior thermal conductivity and heat capacity and require considerably less heat transfer areas as compared to those of their base ionic liquids. This novel class of fluids shows great potential for advanced heat transfer applications.

Authors: Thandar Aung, Tun Lin Naing
In this paper, the DC-link voltage control of DC-DC boost converter–inverter system is proposed. The mathematical model is developed from four different sub-circuits that depended on the switch positions. The developed differential equations are combined to develop the dynamic model.

3039 Performance Analysis of Evolutionary ANN for Output Prediction of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System
Authors: S.I Sulaiman, T.K Abdul Rahman, I. Musirin, S. Shaari
This paper presents performance analysis of the Evolutionary Programming-Artificial Neural Network (EPANN) based technique to optimize the architecture and training parameters of a one-hidden layer feedforward ANN model for the prediction of energy output from a grid connected photovoltaic system. The ANN utilizes solar radiation and ambient temperature as its inputs while the output is the total watt-hour energy produced from the grid-connected PV system. EP is used to optimize the regression performance of the ANN model by determining the optimum values for the number of nodes in the hidden layer as well as the optimal momentum rate and learning rate for the training. The EPANN model is tested using two types of transfer function for the hidden layer, namely the tangent sigmoid and logarithmic sigmoid. The best transfer function, neural topology and learning parameters were selected based on the highest regression performance obtained during the ANN training and testing process. It is observed that the best transfer function configuration for the prediction model is [logarithmic sigmoid, purely linear].

3038 Multilayer Thermal Screens for Greenhouse Insulation
Authors: Clara Shenderey, Helena Vitoshkin, Mordechai Barak, Avraham Arbel
Greenhouse cultivation is an energy-intensive process due to the high demands on cooling or heating according to external climatic conditions, which could be extreme in the summer or winter seasons. The thermal radiation rate inside a greenhouse depends mainly on the type of covering material and greenhouse construction. Using additional thermal screens under a greenhouse covering combined with a dehumidification system improves the insulation and could be cost-effective. Greenhouse covering material usually contains protective ultraviolet (UV) radiation additives to prevent the film wear, insect harm, and crop diseases. This paper investigates the overall heat transfer coefficient, or U-value, for greenhouse polyethylene covering contains UV-additives and glass covering with or without a thermal screen supplement. The hot-box method was employed to evaluate overall heat transfer coefficients experimentally as a function of the type and number of the thermal screens. The results show that the overall heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing the number of thermal screens as a hyperbolic function. The overall heat transfer coefficient highly depends on the ability of the material to reflect thermal radiation. Using a greenhouse covering, i.e., polyethylene films or glass, in combination with high reflective thermal screens, i.e., containing about 98% of aluminum stripes or aluminum foil, the U-value reduces by 61%-89% in the first case, whereas by 70%-92% in the second case, depending on the number of the thermal screen. Using thermal screens made from low reflective materials may reduce the U-value by 30%-57%. The heat transfer coefficient is an indicator of the thermal insulation properties of the materials, which allows farmers to make decisions on the use of appropriate thermal screens depending on the external and internal climate conditions in a greenhouse.

3037 An Extension of the Kratzel Function and Associated Inverse Gaussian Probability Distribution Occurring in Reliability Theory
Authors: R. K. Saxena, Ravi Saxena
In view of their importance and usefulness in reliability theory and probability distributions, several generalizations of the inverse Gaussian distribution and the Krtzel function are investigated in recent years. This has motivated the authors to introduce and study a new generalization of the inverse Gaussian distribution and the Krtzel function associated with a product of a Bessel function of the third kind )(zKQ and a Z - Fox-Wright generalized hyper geometric function introduced in this paper. The introduced function turns out to be a unified gamma-type function. Its incomplete forms are also discussed. Several properties of this gamma-type function are obtained. By means of this generalized function, we introduce a generalization of inverse Gaussian distribution, which is useful in reliability analysis, diffusion processes, and radio techniques etc. The inverse Gaussian distribution thus introduced also provides a generalization of the Krtzel function. Some basic statistical functions associated with this probability density function, such as moments, the Mellin transform, the moment generating function, the hazard rate function, and the mean residue life function are also obtained.KeywordsFox-Wright function, Inverse Gaussian distribution, Krtzel function & Bessel function of the third kind.

3036 Doubly Fed Induction Generator Based Variable Speed Wind Conversion System Control Enhancement by Applying Fractional Order Controller
Authors: Abdellatif Kasbi, Abderrafii Rahali
In an electric power grid connected wind generation system, dynamic control strategy is essential to use the wind energy efficiently as well as for an energy optimization. The present study has focused on decoupled power regulation of doubly fed induction generator, operating in wind turbine, in accordance with the vector control approach by applying fractional order proportional integral (FOPI) controller. The FOPI controller is designed based on a simple method; up such that the response of closed loop process is similar to the response of a specified fractional model whose transfer function is Bode's ideal function. In this tuning operation, the parameters of the proposed fractional controller are established analytically using the impulse closed-loop response of the controlled process. To show the superior action of the developed FOPI controller in comparison with standard PI controller in different function conditions, the study is validated through simulation using the software MATLAB/Simulink.

3035 Stability Analysis of Single Inverter Fed Two Induction Motors in Parallel
Authors: R. Gunabalan, V. Subbiah
This paper discusses the novel graphical approach for stability analysis of multi induction motor drive controlled by a single inverter. Stability issue arises in parallel connected induction motors under unbalanced load conditions. The two powerful globally accepted modeling and simulation software packages such as MATLAB and LabVIEW are selected to perform the stability analysis. The stability investigation is performed for different load conditions and difference in stator and rotor resistances among the two motors. It is very simple and effective than the techniques presented to obtain the stability of the parallel connected induction motor drive under unbalanced load conditions. Approximate transfer functions are considered to model the induction motors, load dynamics, speed controllers and inverter. Simulink library tools are utilized to model the entire drive scheme in MATLAB. Stability study is discussed in LabVIEW using control design and simulation toolkits. Simulation results are illustrated for various running conditions to demonstrate the effectiveness of the transfer function method.

Authors: John Kabuba, Antoine Mulaba-Bafubiandi, Kim Battle
In this study a neural network (NN) was proposed to predict the sorption of binary mixture of copper-cobalt ions into clinoptilolite as ion-exchanger. The configuration of the backpropagation neural network giving the smallest mean square error was three-layer NN with tangent sigmoid transfer function at hidden layer with 10 neurons, linear transfer function at output layer and Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation training algorithm. Experiments have been carried out in the batch reactor to obtain equilibrium data of the individual sorption and the mixture of coppercobalt ions. The obtained modeling results have shown that the used of neural network has better adjusted the equilibrium data of the binary system when compared with the conventional sorption isotherm models.

Authors: José Carlos Rodríguez, Mario Gómez
The aim of this paper is to get insight on the nature of university-industry technology transfer (UITT) and technology transfer offices (TTOs) activity at universities in the case of emerging economies. In relation to the process of transferring knowledge/technology in the case of emerging economies, knowledge/technology transfer in these economies are more reactive than in developed economies due to differences in maturity of technologies. It is assumed in this paper that knowledge/technology transfer is a complex phenomenon, and thus the paper contributes to get insight on the nature of UITT and TTOs creation in the case of emerging economies by using a system dynamics model of knowledge/technology transfer in these countries. The paper recognizes the differences between industrialized countries and emerging economies on these phenomena.

3031 Enhancement of Impingement Heat Transfer on a Flat Plate with Ribs
Authors: M. Kito, M. Takezaki, T. Shakouchi, K. Tsujimoto, T. Ando
Impinging jets are widely used in industrial cooling systems for their high heat transfer characteristics at stagnation points. However, the heat transfer characteristics are low in the downstream direction. In order to improve the heat transfer coefficient further downstream, investigations introducing ribs on jet-cooled flat plates have been conducted. Most studies regarding the heat-transfer enhancement using a rib-roughened wall have dealt with the rib pitch. In this paper, we focused on the rib spacing and demonstrated that the rib spacing must be more than 6 times the nozzle width to improve heat transfer at Reynolds number Re=5.0×103 because it is necessary to have enough space to allow reattachment of flow behind the first rib.

3030 Heat and Mass Transfer of Triple Diffusive Convection in a Rotating Couple Stress Liquid Using Ginzburg-Landau Model
Authors: Sameena Tarannum, S. Pranesh
A nonlinear study of triple diffusive convection in a rotating couple stress liquid has been analysed. It is performed to study the effect of heat and mass transfer by deriving Ginzburg-Landau equation. Heat and mass transfer are quantified in terms of Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers, which are obtained as a function of thermal and solute Rayleigh numbers. The obtained Ginzburg-Landau equation is Bernoulli equation, and it has been elucidated numerically by using Mathematica. The effects of couple stress parameter, solute Rayleigh numbers, and Taylor number on the onset of convection and heat and mass transfer have been examined. It is found that the effects of couple stress parameter and Taylor number are to stabilize the system and to increase the heat and mass transfer.

3029 Supporting Technology Transfer with Communities and Social Software Solutions
Authors: G. Schuh, S. Aghassi
In order to bridge the gap between research and industry, promoting technology and knowledge transfer becomes increasingly important. Especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, having only little R&D resources themselves, depend on external technology development activities for remaining innovative. Academia research on the other hand needs potential industrial partners, who are capable and willing to commercialize their technologies as most public funding programs require some sort of technology transfer or dissemination activities. Modern web technologies offer more and more "social" functionalities and open up new ways of user interaction. In the past years several technology transfer platforms were developed, making use of modern web technologies in order to enable and support technology transfer. In this paper we report on the results of a state-of-the art analyses of existing technology transfer platforms, point out their advantages and deficits and give a perspective to the development of an improved technology transfer platform.

3027 Analysis of Combined Heat Transfer through the Core Materials of VIPs with Various Scattering Properties
Authors: Jaehyug Lee, Tae-Ho Song
Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) can achieve very low thermal conductivity by evacuating its inner space. Heat transfer in the core materials of highly-evacuated VIP occurs by conduction through the solid structure and radiation through the pore. The effect of various scattering modes in combined conduction-radiation in VIP is investigated through numerical analysis. The discrete ordinates interpolation method (DOIM) incorporated with the commercial code FLUENT® is employed. It is found that backward scattering is more effective in reducing the total heat transfer while isotropic scattering is almost identical with pure absorbing/emitting case of the same optical thickness. For a purely scattering medium, the results agrees well with additive solution with diffusion approximation, while a modified term is added in the effect of optical thickness to backward scattering is employed. For other scattering phase functions, it is also confirmed that backwardly scattering phase function gives a lower effective thermal conductivity. Thus the materials with backward scattering properties, with radiation shields are desirable to lower the thermal conductivity of VIPs.

3026 All-Optical Function Based on Self-Similar Spectral Broadening for 2R Regeneration in High-Bit-Rate Optical Transmission Systems
Authors: Leila Graini
In this paper, we demonstrate basic all-optical functions for 2R regeneration (Re-amplification and Re-shaping) based on self-similar spectral broadening in low normal dispersion and highly nonlinear fiber (ND-HNLF) to regenerate the signal through optical filtering including the transfer function characteristics, and output extinction ratio. Our approach of all-optical 2R regeneration is based on those of Mamyshev. The numerical study reveals the self-similar spectral broadening very effective for 2R all-optical regeneration; the proposed design presents high stability compared to a conventional regenerator using SPM broadening with reduction of the intensity fluctuations and improvement of the extinction ratio.
Keywords: All-optical function, 2R optical regeneration, self-similar broadening, Mamyshev regenerator.
3025 A CFD Study of Heat Transfer Enhancement in Pipe Flow with Al2O3 Nanofluid
Authors: P.Kumar
Fluids are used for heat transfer in many engineering equipments. Water, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are some of the common heat transfer fluids. Over the years, in an attempt to reduce the size of the equipment and/or efficiency of the process, various techniques have been employed to improve the heat transfer rate of these fluids. Surface modification, use of inserts and increased fluid velocity are some examples of heat transfer enhancement techniques. Addition of milli or micro sized particles to the heat transfer fluid is another way of improving heat transfer rate. Though this looks simple, this method has practical problems such as high pressure loss, clogging and erosion of the material of construction. These problems can be overcome by using nanofluids, which is a dispersion of nanosized particles in a base fluid. Nanoparticles increase the thermal conductivity of the base fluid manifold which in turn increases the heat transfer rate. In this work, the heat transfer enhancement using aluminium oxide nanofluid has been studied by computational fluid dynamic modeling of the nanofluid flow adopting the single phase approach.
Keywords: Heat transfer intensification, nanofluid, CFD, friction factor

Poco F1 is cool as a cucumber!
August 27 2018: Imagine your smart phone as an automobile engine. The more you let it cool, the smoother it will run. After all, your phone is the most -used piece of electronic equipment in hand or home. If you indulge in smart phone gaming, you are flogging the processor for sustained computing power, generating substantial heat. Gaming laptops are carefully created with optimized thermal performance and designed in such a way that the processor fans out excess heat without interrupting game-play. But as more and more users are indulging in casual gaming on their smart phones, there is an urgent need for a device that does justice to thermal performance. Poco has released a phone that does just this.
This is a new Xiaomi sub-brand for no-frills, performance-optimized smartphones and the Poco F1 had its global launch in India, last week. For a first device, it packs in flagship specifications, while keeping Xiaomi's value proposition. It features proprietary 'LiquidCool', to dissipate CPU heat swiftly, making the processor 3-times more efficient. The F1 also touts a 'turbocharged' engine that starts-up your apps faster, responds faster to your swipe actions and achieves less buffering on multimedia content.
All this is under-the-hood. Outside, it comes in a 20 MP front and a 12 MP + 5 MP AI-driven dual back camera setup. With dual pixel autofocus and AI face beauty, the clicker churns out good low-light images and ensures that your landscape photos have good depth and colour. Powered by a 4000 mAh battery with quick charge, the Poco F1 comes with infrared face unlock, which means you can unlock your device simply by staring at it even in complete darkness.

Boards & Commissions P Through Z
What is M.G.L. Ch. 40B?
Ch. 40b is Massachusetts law went into effect in 1969 (widely known as the "Comprehensive Permit" law or "Chapter 40B") that establishes a mandate for all communities in Massachusetts to have a minimum of 10 percent of their housing stock be affordable to middle- and lower- income households. To count toward this 10 percent, affordable housing units must have a permanent or long-term restriction requiring the unit to be sold or rented to households earning less than 80 percent of the median income in the local area (Area Median Income or AMI). The 10 percent minimum is based on the total number of year-round housing units reported in the most recent decennial census; for Dover, this currently means that 195 units out of a total of 1,950 must be deed restricted as "affordable" (Census 2010). It is expected once the 2020 decennial census data is released this number will rise to approximately 213 housing units. The state tracks the units on what is known as the Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI). Dover's current status is 0.9% affordable.
The intent of Chapter 40B is to provide a fair-share distribution of affordable housing throughout the Commonwealth. In order to address zoning and permitting barriers that make it too expensive to build low- and moderate-income housing, Chapter 40B supersedes zoning and other local regulations. M.G.L. c. 40B, Sections 20-23 authorizes the Zoning Board of Appeals to grant a comprehensive permit to qualified affordable housing developers. A comprehensive permit is a single permit that replaces the approvals otherwise required from separate city or town permitting authorities. The Zoning Board of Appeals may approve, conditionally approve, or deny a comprehensive permit, but in communities that do not meet the 10 percent minimum, developers may appeal to the state Housing Appeals Committee (HAC). Although comprehensive permits may still be granted after a town achieves the 10 percent minimum, the HAC no longer has authority to overturn a local board's decision.
Dover currently has 18 units of affordable housing listed on the Subsidized Housing Inventory, which will increase to 23 units when the next SHI is published (several units were constructed that were not listed - this has been corrected). All 23 units are ownership units rather than rental units. Comprehensive permits issued for rental developments allow the town to count every unit in the development on the SHI, while only affordable ownership units within ownership developments are counted on the SHI. This is to incentivize the production of rental housing.
Housing Production Plan
The Planning Board is currently in the process of preparing a Housing Production Plan (HPP). The HPP guides local affordable housing policy to meet the housing production targets in the table above. Once the HPP is approved by the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen, it is sent to the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) for certification. Once Certified, the town has the ability to obtain "Safe Harbor" if it approves 11 units of affordable housing eligible for inclusion on the SHI for a one-year time period. If the town approves 21 eligible units, the town may obtain "Safe Harbor" for two-years. When a community is in "Safe Harbor", the Zoning Board of Appeals has the ability to deny unwanted 40b projects.

Jai (Ma) means victory. Jai is a feeling of redemption. It's both the heady elation of triumph and the sweet sigh of relief to follow. Curriculum AUM celebrates the magic and wonders of humankind to encourage The Secular Self to rejoice in being alive! A.pplied N.eo Y.ogic A.wareness or Anya plays the role of "MAA" (Inexhaustible Grace as the Divine Mother) who champions victory over Avidya of all kinds.
When habituated homeostasis seeps in the cracks and old patterns promise more of the same struggle, take a moment to simply notice the pattern and declare: JAI!. There's no pressure to change it all at once – just arrive to celebrate the mystery of being in the questions. Pierce the calloused covers and project into the conditioned unconscious the potential of empowerment, realization and ultimately, liberation.
Need inspiration? Just listen to the song Across the Universe by the Beatle's and dedicate the mantra: "Jai guru deva om" (Sanskrit: जय गुरुदेव ॐ) to the Wisdom (the inner guru) within.
Eastern Prayer, often called Namaste or Anjali Mudra, joins hands as one at the heart center. Considered a sacred gesture of balance and composure, Namaste Mudra is also used as a greeting. It combines the calm of the Left and the stimulation of the Right and engages these opposites at a major feeling center (Anahata Chakra). With thumbs resting gently at the breastplate the felt sense awakens and a spirit of compassion expands with each breath. Practice Namaste Mudra to invoke a journey of paradoxical proportions!
Feel the hands as the seers of the felt sense. Visualize the Tibetan paintings of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Envision the palm centers of the hands depicted as eyes. Before drawing an eye or hand, Tibetan artists create an intricate grid. This solid foundation organizes and frames the alignment and expression of the whole body. The slightest variations in the positioning of a finger can change the whole context of the figure. Be in the whole shape, reflect on the overall contour of seated meditation pose- but see/feel/hear/know IT from the perspective of the omnipotent hands.
Sit comfortably in an upright position.
Place hands in Eastern Prayer Mudra: Join left and right hands together at the heart center. Seal the Heels, bases, stems and blades of each hand as one. Maintain a space about the size of a small pearl between the palm centers. Pressurize thumbs onto breastplate and position fingers to point northbound toward the sky while stretching elbows east and west.
Without crushing the pearl, begin pushing the hands together with even more Soul-Force.
Try to keep the unification of the hands, but now start to pull the elbows more east and west – lengthening the forearms in opposite directions and level with the floor.
On the next 3 breaths, Exhale to push hands & Inhale to pull elbows.
Bow the head to the hands take a moment to honor the goodness within.
Take a deep breath in and hold at the fullness of the inspiration for 10 seconds. Then sigh, release the hands and place them on the inner knees.

Q: Manipulating layout on a previous activity in Android
*

*I have an application that has a list of buttons created dynamically in the code. When one of these buttons is clicked, a new activity containing a similar list of buttons is added on top of the stack.

*These lists of buttons each have a different view for portrait and landscape, so I am overriding OnConfigurationChanged to lay update the existing buttons because it is faster than letting the view recreate itself.

*When the second view changes orientation, even though the previous activity is in the background, it performs the changes to the buttons in its list.

*The second activity is also transparent and you can see the previous activity through it. Normally you won't see the first activity from the second activity, but the entire second activity is in a HorizontalScrollView and the user can slide the view off the screen which then finishes the activity and goes back to the first activity.

*The problem is that when there are hundreds of buttons on each activity and both activities are being updated on orientation change, things slow down considerably.

In all my cases, I have noticed that things go smoothly if only one activity is being updated on orientation change. Is there any way I can postpone the previous activities changes OnConfigurationChange or speed this up in general?

Missoula City-County Board of Health adopts cloth face covering recommendation
To protect the health of essential workers and members of the community, the Missoula City-County Board of Health adopted a recommendation on Thursday that all members of the public and employees and volunteers serving the public wear a cloth face covering over their nose and mouth when in public and unable to social distance.
The recommendation does not replace the need for social distancing, but rather provides additional protection to members of our community from pre-symptomatic spread. The recommendation applies to members of the public when doing essential shopping as well as to employees or volunteers who serve people in stores, pharmacies, and other such settings. The recommendation would not apply to those who cannot wear cloth face coverings if contraindicated for their health or cannot wear them properly due to their age or ability.
The Board hopes that the community embraces the recommendation so that an order is not needed.
"The goal is to normalize face coverings to protect others in our community, including those essential workers who are at risk," Cindy Farr, Incident Commander with the Missoula City-County Health Department's COVID-19 response, said in a news release. "It's about being a good neighbor."
The health department reminds the community that they can fashion cloth face coverings out items easily found at home, such as scarves, Buffs, and bandanas. Face coverings do not need to be sewn or specifically made for this purpose. Cloth face coverings should not be confused for surgical or N95 masks, which are needed for health care workers and first responders.
"The important part is that people wear them and wear them properly," said Farr. "The cloth must cover the mouth and nose. It's also important not to touch the covering or take it on and off in the store. Put it on, don't touch it, and then take it off without contacting the front of it."
Information on how to make, wear, and clean cloth face coverings are available on the health department's COVID-19 page: http://missoula.co/cvirus.
In addition to the Board's move today, the COVID-19 response team encourages businesses to explore additional measures for customer and employee safety. While each organization is a little different, making uniform recommendations difficult, entities should consider the following:
Daily employee wellness checks, including sending employees home with fever or coughing.
Flexible employee sick policies that allow staff to stay home when ill.
Providing access to handwashing facilities and encouraging staff to use them.
Providing hand sanitizer, if possible.
Providing dividers between customers and staff, such as cashiers.
Cleaning and sanitizing shopping carts, baskets, and grocery belts.
Providing reminders to shoppers about social distancing by marking six-foot increments at check stands, posting signage, or providing employee prompts.
Limiting customers if social distancing measures cannot be maintained.
The health department also asks the public to help out essential workers by limiting visits to stores and only doing necessary shopping, rather than using shopping trips as something to do. They also encourage sending one adult to stores when possible to decrease the number of people in stores.
"These are difficult times, and we all need to do our part to make this happen. Let's protect our essential workers and our community," said Farr.

Still wondering about major donors?
Posted on January 27, 2016 January 27, 2016 by Chris
If you had any doubts about "major donor" fundraising – at Factary we use the term "strategic donor" – then today's article by Martin Wolf should help dispel them (Wolf, M., 2016. The economic losers are in revolt against the elites. Financial Times).
In the article, Wolf reviews the work of Branko Milanovic, previously Lead Economist at the World Bank's research department, who showed in a 2013 paper (Milanovic, B., 2013. Global Income Inequality by the Numbers: In History and Now. An Overview. Global Policy (May 2013), pp.198–208.) how personal incomes for the majority of people in Europe and the US have stagnated whilst the incomes of the wealthiest 10% have grown. This we knew from other studies of the wealth gap. But what makes this chart so interesting is that there is another group of people whose incomes have stagnated – the poorest 10% globally.
Change in real income between 1988 and 2008 at various percentiles of global income distribution (calculated in 2005 international dollars)
Notes: This is global income, so the middle class in Europe is in the 70%-80% range. The vertical axis shows the percentage change in real income, measured in constant international dollars. The horizontal axis shows the percentile position in the global income distribution. The percentile positions run from 5 to 95, in increments of five, while the top 5% are divided into two groups: the top 1%, and those between 95th and 99th percentiles.
So here is a demand and a supply argument for strategic donor fundraising. On the demand side (of the non-profit world) the poorest of the poor are staying poor or getting poorer. Non-profits have more to do, must raise more to help more.
On the supply side, the "normal" donors (or "consumer donors") who provide the bulk of donations to Europe's non-profits are earning the same as they earned in 1998, or less. Perhaps this is part of the reason why regular fundraising has been struggling for so long; middle income donors (in Europe) have been taking home the same wages for the last ten years, so they are unable to increase their gifts, despite the best efforts of fundraising. As Prof Adrian Sargeant never tires of telling us,
'In the UK, charitable giving is estimated to be around one per cent of gross domestic product and while there are annual variations, this figure has proved remarkably static over time. Despite the best efforts of governments, philanthropists and a generation of fundraisers, the needle hasn't moved much on giving since data were first recorded.'
(Sargeant, A. & Shang, J., 2011. Growing Philanthropy in the United Kingdom. A Report on the July 2011 Growing Philanthropy Summit, Bristol, UK: University of the West of England. Available here.)
But up there among the elites the picture is very different. The top ten percent of earners enjoyed real-term income growth over the period 1998-2008 with the top 1% winning increases of 60% on average, world-wide. Yes, the subsequent recession may have taken a little off the top of that, but as the annual European wealth lists show us, wealth has survived the recession in remarkably good shape.
So at both ends of our work as fundraisers there is a case for strategic donors; at the poorest end where we have to do more and more for people with less and less, and at the wealthiest end where we can see a significant segment of the population heading up the income ladder.
Time to chase after your well researched prospect pool…with a strong, well-researched, case statement.
Which leaves me – and many fundraisers – in the ethical soup. I joined fundraising as a means to an end – the end of social inequalities, of poverty, of human suffering. So while I celebrate the growth of the strategic philanthropy market…I disapprove of the system that makes a few rich and leaves the rest poor.
Difficult dilemma.
But there is a lot of potentially philanthropic money out there, and a lot more people who need it; so stop wondering about major donors and get on with it.

When the nerve of your tooth becomes infected, a root canal treatment allows you keep the tooth rather than having to pull it out. Keeping your tooth helps to prevent your other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems. Saving a natural tooth avoids having to replace it with an artificial tooth.
Root canal treatment is the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from your tooth. The pulp of the tooth is made up of nerves and blood vessels that help your tooth grow and survive. When bacteria enter your tooth through deep cavities, cracks, or flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed. An abscessed tooth is a tooth with an infection in the pulp. If pulp becomes infected, it needs to be removed. An abscessed tooth may cause pain and/or swelling, The dentist may notice the infection from an x-ray or from other changes in the tooth. If left untreated, an abscessed tooth can cause serious oral health problems.
During a root canal treatment your dentist will give you local anesthetic(freezing). To protect your tooth from bacteria during treatment the dentist will place a rubber dam around the tooth being treated. The dentist makes an opening in the tooth to reach the root canal system and the damaged pulp. Using very fine dental instruments, the dentist removes the pulp by cleaning and enlarging the canals. After the canals have been cleaned the dentist fills and seals the canals. The opening of the tooth is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling. After your root canal treatment your tooth has to be restored. The dentist may put a permanent filling or a crown to restore your tooth. The choice of restoration will depend on the strength of the part of the tooth that is left. A back tooth will likely need a crown because chewing puts a great deal of force on back teeth. If there is not enough tooth left, posts may be used to help support the crown. Root canal treatment may be done in one to two appointments. After root canal treatment your tooth may be tender for the first week or two. You can still get a cavity after root canal treatment. Root canal treatment does not protect your tooth from other types of damage. Most root canal treatments are successful. In some rare cases, a second root canal treatment is needed. This is called retreatment. When retreating a tooth, the canal filling is removed, and the canal is cleaned, reshaped, and refilled.


CMP-001-002 is a Phase 1b study of CMP-001 administered to participants with advanced melanoma who are either receiving pembrolizumab, or who have previously received an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy for advanced melanoma, and who have not responded (that is, immunotherapy resistant).
Part 2 will assess the safety and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of CMP-001, administered both SC and intratumoral (IT) when given in combination with pembrolizumab.
Participants will continue treatment with CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab as long as they do not experience unacceptable toxicities and when continued treatment, is in the participant's best interest according to the Investigator.
Participants will receive up to 3 escalating dose levels (5 milligrams [mg], 7.5 mg, and 10 mg) of CMP-001 via SC injection once a week for 3 weeks and every 3 weeks thereafter until discontinuation of treatment in combination with pembrolizumab at its labelled dose and schedule.
CMP-001 will be administered as per the dose and schedule specified in the respective arms.
Pembrolizumab will be administered as per the schedule specified in the respective arms.
Participants will receive RP2D (as determined in Part 1 dose-escalation phase) of CMP-001 via SC injection once a week for 3 weeks and every 3 weeks thereafter until discontinuation of treatment in combination with pembrolizumab at its labelled dose and schedule.
Participants will receive CMP-001 via SC injection once weekly for 2 weeks, then IT injection once weekly for 4 weeks, and SC injection once weekly for every 3 weeks thereafter until discontinuation of treatment in combination with pembrolizumab at its labelled dose and schedule. CMP-001 planned IT dose level in Part 2 will be up to 10 mg and the SC dose will be the RP2D determined from Part 1 dose-escalation phase of the study.

Artist Bio – Robert Crumb
{mosimage}For four decades, Robert Crumb has shocked, entertained, titillated and challenged the imaginations (and the inhibitions) of comics fans the world over. In truth, alternative comics as we know them today might never have come about without R. Crumb's influence — the acknowledged "Father" of the underground comics could also be considered the "Grandfather" of alternative comics. Crumb's earliest cartoons were inspired more by the work of Carl Barks and Walt Kelly than the superhero comics enjoying their first wave of popularity at the time of Crumb's childhood in the late '40s. The man who once admitted to being "sexually…

He began his career as an "alternative" or "underground" cartoonist in 1985 with the short-lived comic book series Lloyd Llewellyn, a feature loosely based around the adventures of a private detective which, in its gleeful embrace of the detritus of post-war pop culture (1950s science fiction, bad detective fiction, Russ Meyer movies, EC comics, etc) predated many of the popular art trends of subsequent decades. He ended the series in 1987,…

Please, help

A: This is wrong:
<Directory /var/www/SpinnerApp/SpinnerApp/>

it should be:
<Directory /var/www/SpinnerApp>

That it worked at all suggests your overall Apache configuration may be mucked up as the access controls shouldn't have allowed the WSGI script in that location to be used at all with that being wrong.
Other implications of this mistake were that the code was running in embedded mode, which is not preferred arrangement. That is, wasn't using the daemon process group created. Also, the WSGIApplicationGroup directive wasn't being implied. This specific one is why you likely see the issue you do. That is, you are using a third party Python module which doesn't work in Python sub interpreters correctly. That directive avoids use of sub interpreters.
Also, the ServerName directive value shouldn't be an IP address but a hostname. Set it to the value you are using for ServerAlias and then delete the ServerAlias directive line.

Gary Haggarty to stand trial over 'catalogue' of murders and paramilitary crime
The so-called loyalist supergrass appeared in court to have 202 charges put to him
Lesley-Anne McKeown
Security outside Belfast Laganside Courts for Haggarty's court case
A so-called loyalist supergrass is to stand trial accused of 202 offences including five terrorist murders.
Gary Haggarty, 44, who is also charged with five attempted murders, 25 counts of conspiracy to murder, directing terrorism and membership of a proscribed organisation appeared before a judge at Belfast Magistrates' Court.
It was the first time the suspected Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) commander, turned police informant, has appeared in the dock in almost a decade and there was a significant police presence both inside and outside the Laganside complex.
District Judge Fiona Bagnall said she was content there was enough evidence for the high-profile case to proceed to the Crown Court.
"I am satisfied that there is sufficient to proceed at this stage," the judge said.
Haggarty, whose address was listed as c/o of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), spoke a number of times during the brief hearing confirming he had received a file detailing the litany of charges and that he understood them.
He replied "no, not at this stage" when asked if he wished to respond to the allegations, give evidence or call witnesses.
Haggarty, who is believed to have been living at a secret location in England since he signed an agreement to become an assisting offender under the terms of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA) six years ago, was escorted into court through a side door by two specialist police officers.
Dressed in a dark suit, grey shirt, grey tie and poppy, he kept his arms by his side, stared straight and showed little emotion ahead as details of the charged were read out during the preliminary enquiry.
Senior prosecutor Ciaran Murphy QC submitted that he had a case to answer.
The lawyer said the number of charges was so voluminous that a "short form" statement of complaint would have to be used. He also indicated that a number of allegations had been dropped while others had been amended.
The catalogue of alleged offences stretch over a 16-year period from 1991 to 2007 and include the loyalist murders of John Harbinson, Sean McParland, Gary Convie, Eamon Fox and Sean McDermott.
The lengthy charge sheet also includes aiding and abetting murder, kidnap, possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives as well as hijacking, false imprisonment, arson, intimidation and conspiracy to riot.
Relatives of some of the alleged victims were in court for the brief hearing.
A number of well-known senior loyalists were also in the public gallery. Outside there was a significant police presence.
Releasing Haggarty on continuing bail with undisclosed conditions, the judge said he would be returned to trial at the Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
He was escorted out of court by a number of armed police officers and did not glance at the public gallery or make any further comment.

Depois de criar cardeais em treze consistórios em menos de oito anos, Pio esperou mais que nunca para realizar seu próximo consistório em março de 1933, mais de dois anos e oito meses. Ele, no entanto, trouxe os membros do Colégio de 52 para apenas 58, nomeando seis cardeais: quatro italianos, um austríaco e um canadense. Isso deu aos italianos uma maioria na faculdade pela primeira vez em vários anos. Pius anunciou que estava fazendo mais dois cardeais como prelado, mas reteve seus nomes, o que a imprensa especulou que significava que eles eram muito importantes em seus atuais cargos para serem transferidos de posições normalmente não ocupadas por um cardeal.

Paihia. We have a highly professional, experienced and friendly crew, which can look after all your diving needs. Never dived before? Then learn to dive with Paihia's only Padi 5 Star Dive Centre. Paihia Dive is also the only full service dive shop in Paihia, so for all your diving needs visit the team at Paihia Dive!
Paihia Dive is fully accredited through New Zealand Underwater Association, Tourism Association of New Zealand, Padi, and OSH compliant Instructors.
Dive trips from $140.00 to $279.00 depending on gear hire and experience.
This was my first dive after getting certified and I couldn't have felt better taken care of! The staff at the shop were helpful in fitting me with gear, including setting up my computer. On the way out to Deep Water Cove we had dolphins swimming along the boat. We did two reef dives with a lunch break in between. Clear water and a lot to see. Craig and the rest of the crew on the boat were so friendly and engaging. Definitely a worthwhile day!
Got to try my first diving experience...... which I did not like but the guys on board were really cool about it. I have finally signed up for my open water class. The instructor was really great!! Made me feel comfortable underwater and I like it now!
Amazing! The dive instructors/dive masters knew what they were doing and made us feel comfortable.
Glad you had a great time out diving with us! We hope to see you back soon for some more.
Did two dives with them = Canterbury wreck and reef. Good and helpful staff, good rental equipment. Overall a great diving experience.
Nice staff, friendly, good safety standards and two absolutely beautiful dive spots for beginners.
I learned to dive with Craig and his team here four years ago and have gone out diving with them periodically over the past four years. They are a great team, well organised who really know the area they are diving in. Each dive location we've gone to, whether it be one of the two fantastic wrecks, or one of the many reef sites around the Bay, Craig and his team have made the day great, showing off the local fish life, taking stunning photos and offering advice to any who needed it. Regardless of the weather, the diving is always fantastic and even in the winter the water is blue and clear. I couldn't recommend them highly enough - if you're up in the Far North, this is the company to dive with.
Had an awesome weekend with the guys at Paihia Dive doing my advanced course. All the staff and crew were very friendly and obviously love what they're doing. This goes a long way when they have such a passion for diving and their enthusiasm was instantly transfered to everyone of us that joined them. We visited some amazing sites- including the Rainbow Warrior wreck and the HMNZS Canterbury wreck. The Canterbury, still laying perfectly upright on the sea bed, is seriously a site worth visiting, with plenty of penetrating opportunities to see things like the sonar room and the command room and even a couple of giant washing machines!
Stu, my instructor for the weekend was top notch. Couldn't have asked for better. He was laid back enough in his approach, but everything had to be done correctly and safely. Perfect balance! He's also a very good photographer and, as a photographer myself with hardly any underwater photography experience, he had plenty of tips and was very knowledgeable about the latest gear.
Definitely worth visiting this family run dive shop and experience the sites they have on their doorstep.
Hope to visit again if I'm ever back in the area.
I spent two days diving with Craig and the team at Paihia Dive. From the moment I walked into the centre I knew this was the place for me.
Day 1 diving on the HMNZS Canterbury and local dive sites. We even went scallop and crayfish hunting.
Day 2 up north to the Rainbow Warrior. A thoroughly pleasant day with lunch on an island.
Definitely two great days diving, and will definitely return next time I'm in Northland.
Cheers for the review mate! It was a pleasure taking you diving, we hope to see you back again soon for some more adventures. Craig.
