In the absence of PE Philip, the meeting was chaired by VP Rucina.
Secretary Cat reported that she will be visiting Sumba later this month on the first monitoring visit for the Global Grant which was designed by our club and is being executed by RCB Kuta. About 22 toilets and 6 water catchment tanks have been installed and will be inspected.
RTN Rich told us that on Saturday June 20 there will be a completion ceremony for the Aas water program which is now completed. It will take place at the village wantilan so there is no need to walk up the hill.
Annie, who has applied for club membership, told us about the Rumah Sehat project (initiated by Sue and Ray Bishop) which she recently visited. There is a health clinic in Culik outside of Amed and there is outreach to isolated villages. The clinic is open daily and has a permanent nurse and visiting doctor. Soon they will have some mobile dental equipment delivered and also have some mobility aids. Patients are transported to specialists in Denpasar. There is much malnutrition and inbreeding so there are lots of challenges. Sue and Ray have done a fine job over the past 5 years. Anne is helping them develop a 5 year strategic plan and a business plan to provide structure and direction and make it easier to apply for grants. This is just one initiative in an area where many more people have no access to services. Joe suggested that they liaise with UCP United Cderebral Palsy / Roda untok Manusia.
Jane talked about one of her club projects, starting an Earlyact Club in an elementary school which involves 22 younger children in community service. The kids have raised $500 to put toward a Shelterbox. The kids know already what they want to fund raise for. She will start another Earlyact Club next year and also an Interact Club in a nearby high school.
Rucina reminded us that the Bill and Melinda Gates Fnd has been working with the RC to help eliminate polio and showed us a brief video by Bill Gates. Rotary has been prioritising polio since 1985, vaccinating over 2 billion children. The incidence of polio has plummeted by 99% in that time from 350,000 cases a year to fewer than 300. The disease is still endemic in Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan (with most of the cases).
Members are reminded that the final reminder to pay dues for the forthcoming year are due on June 20.
Chris Kemp from the RC Richmond, Victoria, is looking for projects of between Rp 20 and 100 juta rupiah for health, sanitation, water and environment. Please contact him with ideas.
Rucina and Joe worked together on a project in 2002, a shadow puppet play for the survivors of the Bali bomb. The resulting video was shown to many family members.
Kopernik (http://www.kopernik.ngo/) provides appropriate alternative technologies to remote communities. Their shop stocks a new bag which allows partially cooked rice to finish cooking while the women work elsewhere; it also saves a lot of fuel. Kopernik crowd funded for simple water filters and solar lamps for earthquake victims in Nepal. Joe talked about the Kopernik project in NTT, working with women's coops selling Kopernik technologies which allow women's income to rise by as much as 30%; this is the Wonder Woman project. This model has many positive spin offs. Jane reported that she had visited Kopernik because her club is involved in microfinance and hopes to work with them in the future. See www.kopernik.ngo for details of their work.
Susan talked about 2 projects in her club. Its World Community Service Team of 7 is in East Timor, 7 hours from Dili. For 5 years they have been working on a community house, which has been restored and is now a health clinic with Timorese doctors trained in Cuba working out of it. Second is to maintain the building and an infection control nurse will be doing some basic education. Her club has just set up a sister club relationship with the RC Colombo. A friend of hers who is a physiotherapist teaches at the university there and this may become a club project.
Dian talked about his social and environmental projects with Bumi Hijau TV. One program is Green Earth News which does a range of stories.
Richard Llewellyn from Enviropallets (http://tcreativearts.com/demo/enviropallets/) addresses the massive waste problem in Bali. Uses shopping bags to turn into shipping pallets, replacing wooden ones. Wooden pallets use about 40% of global timber production. The factory in Tabanan produces about 15,000 a month (world demand is 4 million a year). They have been asked to open plants in the Middle East, Philippines, Malaysia and elsewhere in Indonesia.
As palletised shipping becomes more common in Asia the demand will be huge; 8 million pallets are used in global trade every year. The Enviropallet solution was developed in Christchurch and uses thermofusion which allows plastics with different melting points to be fused together and moulded in a single piece. There is no effluent from the process and no chemicals are involved.
Most of the plastic comes from industries in Java but a program offering Rp 1500/kg to purchase plastic bags and bottles is being launched in communities to increase the amount from Bali. The pallets are sold for $10, which is still profitable and much cheaper than other plastic pallets. Because it's the same cost of wood, there is a compelling reason to use them instead.
The raffle was won by Randy.


While nearly all commands in Outlook 2003 are performed from the keyboard, toolbars can be a impressively flexible repository of tools.
Outlook lets you completely customize your toolbars; not only can they be repositioned anywhere on screen, they can also contain any command you want.
To learn about more advanced Outlook toolbar customization, and the creation of custom toolbars, see our Customize Dialog - Toolbars tutorial.
First, know that you can place your toolbars anywhere on screen, even outside Outlook's main window.
Notice that each toolbar (like the menu bar) have a "grabber"; when your move your mouse over them, the cursor becomes a four-head pointing arrow.
The four-headed pointing arrow cursor indicates that you can start dragging the object, in this case the toolbars.
Drag them and release them where you want them; you will notice that Outlook makes them snap near a corner if you hover over that region; it will automatically put the toolbar into place.
In this screenshot of Outlook, the Standard Toolbar was dragged outside the main window and floats on screen when Outlook is visible.
To reposition the floating toolbar where it belongs, simply double-click its gray Title Bar.
Note that it is possible to remove "on-the-fly" buttons from a toolbars (standard or custom) in Outlook 2003. Hold down the Alt key and drag the unwanted button away from the toolbar.
Note that the Customize command is not available for custom toolbars you created in Outlook 2003.
To customize custom toolbars using Outlook's Customize Dialog, please see the Custom Dialog: Toolbars tutorial.

Q: Numpy tutorial - Boolean indexing Reading Numpy quick tutorial, I cannot understand this sentence.
a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)
b1 = np.array([False,True,True])
b2 = np.array([True,False,True,False])
>>> a[b1,b2]
array([ 4, 10])

Why a[b1,b2] is array([4,10]) instead of array([[4,6],[8,10]])?

A: It's because you are performing integer array indexing there.
Internally, the indices are computed from the boolean arrays -
In [72]: idx1 = np.flatnonzero(b1)

In [73]: idx2 = np.flatnonzero(b2)

In [75]: idx1
Out[75]: array([1, 2])

In [76]: idx2
Out[76]: array([0, 2])

Then, the integer array indexing is performed on each group of indices using each element from the indexing arrays -
In [77]: a[1,0] # 1 from idx1[0], 0 from idx2[0]
Out[77]: 4

In [78]: a[2,2] # 2 from idx1[1], 2 from idx2[1]
Out[78]: 10

To achieve that MATLAB styled block extraction, we need to use open arrays and index into each of those axes/dims. To create such open arrays in NumPy, we have np.ix_ -
In [89]: np.ix_(b1,b2)
Out[89]:
(array([[1],
        [2]]), array([[0, 2]]))

In [90]: a[np.ix_(b1,b2)]
Out[90]:
array([[ 4,  6],
       [ 8, 10]])

Q: Sliding time window for record analysis I have a data structure of phone calls.  For this question there are two fields, CallTime and NumberDialled.
The analysis I want to perform is "Are there more than two calls to the same number in a 10 second window"  The collection is sorted by CallTime already and is a List<Cdr>.
My solution is
List<Cdr> records = GetRecordsSortedByCallTime();
for (int i = 0; i < records.Count; i++)
{
    var baseRecord = records[i];
    for (int j = i; j < records.Count; j++)
    {
        var comparisonRec = records[j];

        if (comparisonRec.CallTime.Subtract(baseRecord.CallTime).TotalSeconds < 20)
        {
            if (comparisonRec.NumberDialled == baseRecord.NumberDialled)
                ReportProblem(baseRecord, comparisonRec);
        }
        else
        {
            // We're more than 20 seconds away from the base record.  Break out of the inner loop
            break;
        }
    }
}

Whis is ugly to say the least.  Is there a better, cleaner and faster way of doing this?
Although I haven't tested this on a large data set, I will be running it on about 100,000 records per hour so there will be a large number of comparisons for each record.
Update The data is sorted by time not number as in an earlier version of the question

A: If the phone calls are already sorted by call time, you can do the following:

*

*Initialize a hash table that has a counter for every phone number (the hash table can be first empty and you add elements to it as you go)

*Have two pointers to the linked list of yours, let's call them 'left' and 'right'

*Whenever the timestamp between the 'left' and 'right' call is less than 10 seconds, move 'right' forwards by one, and increment the count of the newly encountered phone number by one

*Whenever the difference is above 10 seconds, move 'left' forwards by one and decrement the count for the phone number from which 'left' pointer left by one

*At any point, if there is a phone number whose counter in the hash table is 3 or more, you have found a phone number that has more than 2 calls within a 10 seconds window

This is a linear-time algorithm and processes all the numbers in parallel.

A: I didn't know you exact structures, so I created my own for this demonstration:
class CallRecord
{
    public long NumberDialled { get; set; }
    public DateTime Stamp { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var calls = new List<CallRecord>()
        {
            new CallRecord { NumberDialled=123, Stamp=new DateTime(2011,01,01,10,10,0) },
            new CallRecord { NumberDialled=123, Stamp=new DateTime(2011,01,01,10,10,9) },
            new CallRecord { NumberDialled=123, Stamp=new DateTime(2011,01,01,10,10,18) },
        };

        var dupCalls = calls.Where(x => calls.Any(y => y.NumberDialled == x.NumberDialled && (x.Stamp - y.Stamp).Seconds > 0 && (x.Stamp - y.Stamp).Seconds <= 10)).Select(x => x.NumberDialled).Distinct();

        foreach (var dupCall in dupCalls)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(dupCall);
        }

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

The LINQ expression loops through all records and finds records which are ahead of the current record (.Seconds > 0), and within the time limit (.Seconds <= 10). This might be a bit of a performance hog due to the Any method constantly going over your whole list, but at least the code is cleaner :)

A: I recommand you to use Rx Extension and the Interval method.

The Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences and LINQ-style query operators. Using Rx, developers represent asynchronous data streams with Observables, query asynchronous data streams using LINQ operators, and parameterize the concurrency in the asynchronous data streams using Schedulers

The Interval method returns an observable sequence that produces a value after each period
Here is quick example :
    var callsPer10Seconds = Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

    from x in callsPer10Seconds
           group x by x into g
           let count = g.Count()
           orderby count descending
           select new {Value = g.Key, Count = count};

    foreach (var x in q)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Value: " + x.Value + " Count: " + x.Count);
    }

A: records.OrderBy(p => p.CallTime)
    .GroupBy(p => p.NumberDialled)
    .Select(p => new { number = p.Key, cdr = p.ToList() })
    .Select(p => new
    {
        number = p.number,
        cdr =
            p.cdr.Select((value, index) => index == 0 ? null : (TimeSpan?)(value.CallTime - p.cdr[index - 1].CallTime))
            .FirstOrDefault(q => q.HasValue && q.Value.TotalSeconds < 10)
    }).Where(p => p.cdr != null);

A: In two steps :

*

*Generate an enumeration with the call itself and all calls in the interesting span

*Filter this list to find consecutive calls

The computation is done in parallel on each record using the AsParallel extension method.
It is also possible to not call the ToArray at the end and let the computation be done while other code could execute on the thread instead of forcing it to wait for the parallel computation to finish.
var records = new [] {
    new { CallTime= DateTime.Now, NumberDialled = 1 },
    new { CallTime= DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(1), NumberDialled = 1 }
};
var span = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);

// Select for each call itself and all other calls in the next 'span' seconds
var callInfos = records.AsParallel()
    .Select((r, i) =>
        new
        {
            Record = r,
            Following = records.Skip(i+1)
                            .TakeWhile(r2 => r2.CallTime - r.CallTime < span)
        }
    );

// Filter the calls that interest us
var problematic = (from callinfo in callInfos
                where callinfo.Following.Any(r => callinfo.Record.NumberDialled == r.NumberDialled)
                select callinfo.Record)
                .ToArray();

A: If performance is acceptable (which I think it should be, since 100k records is not particularly many), this approach is (I think) nice and clean:
First we group up the records by number:
var byNumber =
    from cdr in calls
    group cdr by cdr.NumberDialled into g
    select new
             {
                 NumberDialled = g.Key,
                 Calls = g.OrderBy(cdr => cdr.CallTime)
             };

What we do now is Zip (.NET 4) each calls collection with itself-shifted-by-one, to transform the list of call times into a list of gaps between calls. We then look for numbers where there's a gap of at most 10 seconds:
var interestingNumbers =
    from g in byNumber
    let callGaps = g.Calls.Zip(g.Calls.Skip(1),
        (cdr1, cdr2) => cdr2.CallTime - cdr1.CallTime)
    where callGaps.Any(ts => ts.TotalSeconds <= 10)
    select g.NumberDialled;

Now interestingNumbers is a sequence of the numbers of interest.

Ex-soldiers angered by 'unconscionable' treatment of Afghan war adviser
Some of Canada's former top military commanders and soldiers - among them a Liberal MP - are rallying behind an ex-Department of Defence adviser who was denied PTSD benefits after serving seven tours in Afghanistan. They are calling on the federal government to take action.

Former top military commanders and wounded veterans say it's "unconscionable" that an ex-cultural adviser who served alongside special forces in Afghanistan has been reduced to pleading with the Department of National Defence for treatment to cover his post-traumatic stress.
Mohammad Amin served as a civilian contractor for seven deployments at the height of Canada's war in Kandahar, between 2006 and 2011, but was denied benefits because his application was made outside of a three-month window following the end of his last tour.
The defence department, which became aware of his case over two years ago, recommended he seek help through the Ontario Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB), a provincial agency which deals with on-the-job industrial and construction accidents.
"I think it's unconscionable what they've done," said retired major Mark Campbell, who lost both legs to a Taliban booby trap in Kandahar in 2008.
"I'm shocked nobody is stepping up to give this guy some form of help. To me, it's shocking to see this guy is running around, knocking on doors and running into brick walls. It's [expletive] unconscionable."

CBC News first told Amin's story on Monday. (Amin conducted a number of high-risk missions that are classified and, because of security concerns, CBC News has agreed to to identify him only as Mohammad Amin and to not publish his full name.)
New Democrat veterans critic MP Rachel Blaney raised the issue in the House of Commons Monday, saying civilians who shared the same risks as soldiers are not being treated equally.
"That is wrong," Blaney said during question period. "Surely the government can support this gentleman in his desperate time of need, and all of the other civilians who put their lives on the line for Canada."
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said he appreciates the work of both military members and civilians during the war, adding he has directed his officials to "look into this case and find a solution."
It's not clear what that might mean, though — and Amin's lawyer, retired colonel Michel Drapeau, said Tuesday that neither he nor his client had heard from the defence department following the CBC News story.
Retired lieutenant-general and soon-to-be former Liberal MP Andrew Leslie said Amin, an Afghan immigrant, was a Canadian citizen when he answered the call to become a language and cultural adviser — and the country owes him a duty of care.
"The philosophy of 'leave no soldier or team member behind' applies," said Leslie, who served as NATO commander in Afghanistan and was in charge of the army when Amin first deployed.
"Mohammad is and was a valuable member of the team, who helped as part of an integrated force. He's suffering. We have to do more for him. And shunting him between a variety of departments for years is not the solution."

Earlier in the week, the Department of National Defence said it was working with Health Canada and the WSIB to address the plight of people like Amin — but Leslie suggested the responsibility rests with the department that hired him as a contractor.
"He deployed under DND leadership and I would expect DND to take the lead in sorting this out," he said.
Amin was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) for service over five years, notably for dangerous intelligence-gathering missions among the Afghan population — missions that could not be conducted by non-Afghans.
The medal was mailed to him after the war, an act that both Leslie and Campbell described as callous.
"They should have not treated the guy the way they have," said Campbell. "He should have been feted, not turned away. He should have been celebrated for his service."
Retired major-general Dave Fraser, who was the NATO commander in southern Afghanistan in 2006 and remembers Amin, said there is an important, wider debate to be had because the case raises questions about how prepared and how serious the federal government is when it agrees to an overseas mission.
Maj.-Gen Dave Fraser (now retired) in 2006, when he was commander of the Canadian Task Force and NATO's southern Afghanistan command. (Murray Brewster/The Canadian Press)
"This a non-partisan debate," said Fraser. "There is a social covenant that the government has and the country has with the women and men who are put in harm's way — period."
Despite all the political attention paid to the plight of former soldiers and the host of benefits now being offered to them, Fraser said, there has not been a real debate in Canada about what it means to be a veteran and who should be considered a veteran.
It would be a sobering discussion, he said, when you consider how much of the country's foreign policy is executed today by soldiers and civilians working together.
Leaders, he said, would have to ask themselves the question: "If this country is not prepared to support the women and men who go into harm's way, why are we engaging in any of it to begin with?"

Survey Shows Mexican Consumers Unsatisfied With Their Carriers Call Protection Features - First Orion Corp.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – January 18, 2018 – First Orion, provider of data and phone call transparency solutions, today announced the results of a new study that shows Mexican consumers want more features to block phone scammers.
To better understand the kinds of calls Mexicans are facing, First Orion commissioned a survey of mobile subscribers in Mexico and found a growing number of users are willing to change from their current cell phone carrier to one that offered protection from fraudulent calls.
Over 70 percent of those surveyed would be willing to pay monthly for a service that identifies callers and blocks fraudulent and nuisance calls compared to just 58 percent of consumers in the United States. Compared to respondents in the US, Mexican consumers received three times less scam calls in the past month, but are three times more likely to change from their current carrier to one that offered call identification and protection features.
Unsurprisingly, 72 percent of Mexican consumers do not believe there is such thing as a good robocall. However, 67 percent said that an automated call from their pharmacy would not be considered a nuisance.
Over 95 percent of respondents feel it is important to know who is calling before answering, and nearly 90 percent believe it is the responsibility of their cell phone operator to block scam and fraudulent calls or text from coming to their phone.
In addition to providing PrivacyStar applications for Android and iOS users, First Orion offers FONES for carriers and service providers to deliver the highest level of confidence and flexibility in protecting subscribers from scams and other unwanted calls. FONES enables carriers to easily and seamlessly deploy settings to protect all customers from identified malicious callers, such as known scammers that use robocalling.
First Orion provides call transparency solutions across multiple platforms, world-class data solutions, in-network call control and its PrivacyStar powered application solutions. First Orion Network Enterprise Solutions (FONES) currently provides call control, call blocking, call transparency and call management solutions to millions of mobile handsets. First Orion's CallerYD® technology tells mobile subscribers who is calling and why, empowering them with the ability to take action. With branded and white-labeled applications as well as in-network solutions, First Orion assists phone carriers in protecting mobile and fixed line subscribers from unwanted calls and identifying unknown calls, including identifying and stopping millions of scam calls every day.

The handicap system as deployed in the game does not yield good results.
I really like that you have implemented the real slope system in game - but the implementation has one fatal flaw.
That flaw is that you are still using the 113 "average rating" in the formula to calculate the handicap differential, but you cannot employ the same course rating methods as used IRL.
IRL a course is judged on a number of factors and if it is "average" the slope will end up around 113. In the game, you use plays of the course to determine slope. This means that your "average" is a lot less than 113 in almost all cases. An improved formula would be to use the average slope rating of all courses instead of the "113" in the calculation.
How about making it better suited to the video game environment?
An alternative is to employ community members or employed staff to actually rate courses according to a similar method as in real life, but that seems to be a less feasible improvement?
Also should only count back tees i reckon as well,no idea how the HCP works,but i have noticed when i check some of the scores on my courses 30-40% play front tees,no idea if thats because they don't know how to change tees,poor at game or just like to score,but i think back tees would help also.
Got to be honest it's a video game no need for HCP mode to be in there,one of AK few mistakes.
Yeah, the slope rating is for a certain set of tees. Hole distance has a huge weight in the assessment of a course.
Don't really get how they passed this broken implementation as viable without any further modifications.
Yep. So broken it's not even funny.
Use back tees only or have a different course/slope rating for each tees.
Only thing that can be done is to as a designer not use multiple tees of different difficulty on a course. That is why I only have one set on Baltusrol, as an example.
Slope rating needs fixing HB. I always try and use the back tees to get a proper handicap. Just played the blues instead of the back tees at Copperhead by mistake. Hit a 63 (tst style with putting marker only - #nosweeping ) and it made my handicap jump up to +6.7 from +5.0. If I played the back tees I probably would have shot a 65/66 and remained a similar handicap. Sort it out HB!
My biggest issue with the handicapping, like others have touched on, is that there should be a different stroke index/ slope rating for each set of tees on a course, and not just one for all of them, which doesn't make any sense. It's not fair to calculate players handicaps with the same, "one size fits all" stroke index/ slope rating regardless of whether you're playing from the shortest tees, longest tees, or anything in between.
Real courses have a different stroke index/ slope rating for each of the tees listed on the score card. So why isn't it like that for this game? It should be.
I also think there should be seperate course leaderboards (the ones for all rounds, not just tournament) and stats for the different tees. It's not fair to compare rounds played from different tees.

The Wisconsin Home of the Ingalls Family
Dear members and friends of the Sodality of Charity,
I write to you on the First Wednesday of August. I remember our Sodality members always especially on First Wednesdays and on the feasts of St. Joseph. His patronage has brought us and all the members of St. Gertrude the Great so much grace and protection in our trying times.
I had little time off in July, and one of the places I went to visit was Stockholm, Pepin County, Wisconsin. It was established in 1854 by Swedish immigrants, and it is now known as the place where the famous author Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867. At her birthplace there is now a wayside cabin, which is constructed exactly in the way it was described in her writings. This tiny cabin, which now is surrounded by fields, was then in the midst of a thick forest, and Pa and Ma Ingalls shared it with their three girls Mary, Laura, and Carrie. It really shows the bravery and endurance of the old pioneer families, and the hard but happy life of the Ingalls family was charmingly described by Laura in her first book Little House in the Big Woods (1932).
One of the memorable scenes from that book is how Laura and her Ma Caroline, on one dark night, met a bear!
Laura was surprised to see the dark shape of Sukey, the brown cow, standing at the barnyard gate. Ma was surprised, too.
It was too early in the spring for Sukey to be let out in the Big Woods to eat grass. She lived in the barn. But sometimes on warm days Pa left the door of her stall open so she could come into the barnyard. Now Ma and Laura saw her behind the bars, waiting for them.
Ma went up to the gate, and pushed against
it to open it. But it did not open very far, because there was Sukey, standing against it. Ma said:
"Sukey, get over!" She reached across the gate and slapped Sukey's shoulder.
Just then one of the dancing little bits of light from the lantern jumped between the bars of the gate, and Laura saw long, shaggy, black fur, and two little, glittering eyes.
Sukey had thin, short, brown fur. Sukey had large, gentle eyes.
Ma said, "Laura, walk back to the house."
So Laura turned around and began to walk toward the house. Ma came behind her. When they had gone part way, Ma snatched her up, lantern and all, and ran. Ma ran with her into the house, and slammed the door.
Then Laura said, "Ma, was it a bear?"
"Yes, Laura," Ma said. "It was a bear."
Laura began to cry. She hung on to Ma and sobbed, "Oh, will he eat Sukey?"
"No," Ma said, hugging her. "Sukey is safe in the barn. Think, Laura – all those big, heavy logs in the barn walls. And the door is heavy and solid, made to keep bears out. No, the bear cannot get in and eat Sukey."
Laura felt better then. "But he could have hurt us, couldn't he?" she asked.
"He didn't hurt us," Ma said. "You were a good girl, Laura, to do exactly as I told you, and to do it quickly, without asking why."
Ma was trembling, and she began to laugh a little. "To think," she said, "I've slapped a bear!"
In the town of Pepin one can find Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and the town also hosts the annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Days in September. This year's event is cancelled but they hope that the festival will be held again next year; it's scheduled for September 10 and 11, 2022.
I also stopped at the town of Bloomer, which has made itself into America's "swinging-est" town. This because it has, since the year 1960, hosted the annual rope jump contest. Each year students from Grades 1 through 8 train hard and come to Bloomer to compete. Many schools are sponsoring speed jumping contests and sending their winners to the big world championship in Bloomer, which has been called the "jump rope capital of the world". In Bloomer I visited a local farm to watch how shrimp is grown. The gentleman who owns the farm used to have cows, but when he got older, he chose to move to shrimp business. In his fields he still cultivates berries, tomatoes, potatoes, and many other things, including popcorn.
Besides vacationing, I also went to say Mass at Fr. McKenna's mission at Park Falls, WI. This little town has about 2,000 inhabitants, and the director of its only funeral home is the coordinator of our mission. Because he is a funeral director, the mission is dedicated to St. Joseph of Arimathea, the saint who arranged the burial of Our Lord. His daughter also comes to the mission. She has two young daughters of her own, and the older one is named Laura because she liked the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder so much when she was a child that named her own girl after the author (and supposedly also after St. Laura of Cordoba, who was martyred by the Muslims in 9th century Spain). She also liked very much my Laura Vicuña book and the heroic story of this brave young girl.
You can see some of my travel photos in my newsletter. I also put more Girls Camp photos in a separate post on our website.
Friday, August 13, will be our lucky day. St. Gertrude the Great Church will again have her monthly Rosary procession at West Chester. Plan to attend, if you are able. Father Robert Hugh Benson, whose father was a Protestant bishop, and who was a Protestant minister himself before converting to the Catholic Faith, gave a beautiful explanation of the Rosary in his first novel By What Authority? (1904). An old nun was trying to tell about it to a young Protestant girl named Isabel. The girl asked: "How can prayers said over and over again like that be any good?" The nun said: "I saw young Mrs. Martin last week with her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her mother's neck, and was being rocked to and fro; and every time she rocked she said 'Oh mother'." "But," said Isabel, "she was only a child." The nun answered: "You see, my Isabel, we are nothing more than children with God and His Blessed Mother. To say, 'Hail Mary, Hail Mary,' is the best way of telling her how much we love her. And, then, this string of beads is like Our Lady's girdle, and her children love to finger it, and whisper to her. And then we say our Our Fathers too; and all the while we are talking, she is showing us pictures of her dear Child, and we look at all the great things He did for us, one by one; and then we turn the page and begin again."
Of course, the greatest feast of the summer will be the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady on Sunday, August 15. Our next Sodality meeting will be on Saturday, August 21. It is the day of the apparition of Our Lady of Knock, and with Her appeared also St. Joseph, making one of his few appearances in visions.
Yours in Christ and Mary,
Fr. Lehtoranta

Parasolid has proven to be remarkably effective in meeting our needs to offer advanced capabilities like direct modeling and surfacing control in our mix-and-match modeling environment. James Dagg, Chief Technology Officer Altair Parasolid offers exciting future possibilities for software vendors like Altair who offer solutions for additive manufacturing. James Dagg, Chief Technology Officer Altair Licensing Parasolid has ensured Altair offers exceptional data interoperability across the broad number of applications we have developed and acquired. James Dagg, Chief Technology Officer Altair
Simulation-driven innovation
Altair is a global technology company that provides solutions in data analytics, simulation, and high-performance computing. Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, Altair serves its global customer base through 83 regional offices and a global network of sales teams and technology partners.
Altair's simulation-driven approach to innovation optimizes design performance across multiple disciplines encompassing structures, motion, fluids, thermal management, electromagnetics, system modeling, and embedded systems, while also providing data analytics and true-to-life visualization and rendering.
Mix-and-match 3D modeling in a single intuitive application
Altair recognized that a leading simulation-driven design application needs to offer a comprehensive geometric modeler to capture the diversity of form in manufactured products across a broad range of industries, and the range of preferred methods used in their design. At the same time, the modeling tools need to be intuitive enough for design engineers to master quickly and easily.
Altair selected the Parasolid® software geometric modeler, part of the Xcelerator™ portfolio of solutions and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, because it offers Altair Inspire™ users the widest array of 3D modeling capabilities available. Users develop models quickly and easily by taking advantage of Parasolid's extensive mechanical CAD modeling functions, such as adding, subtracting, intersecting, hollowing, tapering and blending solid geometry.
Engineers can intuitively fashion complex organic shapes with non-uniform rational b-spline (NURBS) surfaces created along user-defined guide curves or automatically fitted between existing surfaces. In both cases, Inspire users benefit from full control over the shape using visual controls or precise numeric constraints, for example by constraining the degree of continuity between adjacent surfaces.
Defeaturing for structural analysis and topology optimization
Structural analysis and topology optimization are core components of Altair Inspire that enable users to create more efficient designs and reduce costs. Topology optimization automatically computes an ideal shape for the structure in a design space that optimizes for properties such mass or stiffness under user-defined loading conditions.
The original geometric model that is subject to analysis and optimization may include features such as holes, pockets and blends, added by the designer using conventional interactive modeling techniques. Engineers often remove such features prior to analysis and optimization to improve performance. Altair uses Parasolid to support this defeaturing operation with an extensive set of model simplification tools that identify and delete specific features in a model prior to analysis.
Altair also implemented direct modeling, a more recent and advanced editing technique developed in Parasolid. Direct modeling enables Inspire users to push and pull faces interactively. This capability can be used, for example, to modify the design space that is subject to analysis and optimization.
The results of topology optimization are usually organic shapes that often bear little resemblance to the original CAD geometry. In cases where such shapes are not aesthetically pleasing or suited to manufacturing methods, Altair users can leverage advanced surface modeling capabilities in Parasolid to wrap these complex shapes in NURBS surfaces to create smooth 3D solids that are suitable for export to downstream applications.
"Parasolid has proven to be remarkably effective in meeting our needs to offer advanced capabilities like direct modeling and surfacing control in our mix-and-match modeling environment," says James Dagg, chief technology officer at Altair.
Parametric 2D sketching
Sketching is fundamental to one of the most universal 3D modeling techniques in CAD, whereby a 2D sketch is extruded or revolved out of its plane to create 3D geometry. The underlying sketch can be defined very precisely using a geometric constraint solver. Designers apply geometric constraints – such as parallel, perpendicular, tangent and symmetric – to organize the sketch geometry, which may consist of lines, arcs and more complex curves. Furthermore, when quantitative parameters such as distances, angles, and radii are applied to the sketch geometry, it is possible to remodel the 3D part by editing the parameters in the underlying sketch and regenerating the 3D solid.
To implement this powerful design technique, Altair needed to complement Parasolid with a geometric constraint solver that would support parametric 2D sketching for its most demanding users, while generating stable and predictable outcomes when sketch parameters are added or modified. Realizing that such a technology requires specialist knowledge and many years of in-house software development, Altair chose instead to license the leading geometric constraint solver, D-Cubed™ software 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager (2D DCM) from Siemens Digital Industries Software.
Altair has taken advantage of a high proportion of the 2D DCM's feature set – including advanced functions such as constraint-based solving of NURBS curves, enabling Inspire users to benefit from state-of-the-art 2D sketching tools that are seamlessly integrated with the 3D modeling environment.
By licensing Parasolid and D-Cubed components to handle these sophisticated geometric modeling operations, Altair was able to allocate more of its own expertise and resources to developing an intuitive user experience. The result is a versatile design environment that can be mastered by design engineers in hours.
Parasolid interoperability and standardization
Altair Inspire is often used early in the product development lifecycle for conceptual modeling and optimization. Many models are developed from scratch using Inspire's broad suite of solid, surface and polygonal geometry creation tools. In addition, users may import models that have been developed in other CAD applications for further design optimization and analysis. In both cases, products that are designed or refined with Inspire are typically exported to other applications for additional analyses, manufacturing and other processes.
Altair realized that supporting the reliable exchange of 3D product data between applications would benefit from choosing a standard 3D modeling format that is common for the broadest possible range of product lifecycle applications. This is another reason why the company selected Parasolid, a geometric modeling technology and format that is shared by more than 350 software applications. In addition to choosing Parasolid for design functionality in Inspire, Altair chose to standardize on Parasolid for data interoperability across its portfolio of solutions.
"Licensing Parasolid has enabled Altair to offer exceptional data interoperability across the broad number of applications we have developed and acquired," says Dagg. "Parasolid enables products like Inspire to offer translation-free data exchange with Parasolid-based applications from other vendors, such as NX and SolidWorks."
Altair recently licensed an additional D-Cubed component, Profile Geometry Manager (PGM) that will soon be available to Inspire studio users. D-Cubed PGM enhances productivity in the 2D sketching environment by computing offset profiles that have numerous applications in design. For example, they can be used to create a 2D profile that extrudes into a solid shell or applied to the cross-section of a sheet metal structures to define a thickness.
Altair is also keeping a close eye on several recent advances in Parasolid. For example, Parasolid has recently implemented the functional foundations to support lattice structures. Lattices offer increased strength-to-weight ratio compared to solid material yet were difficult to manufacture prior to additive manufacturing techniques.
"3D printing is making the design benefits of lattice structures a reality," says Dagg. "Ongoing development of direct support for these data structures in Parasolid offers exciting future possibilities for software vendors like Altair who offer solutions for additive manufacturing."
Altair is also evaluating Parasolid Convergent Modeling™ technology, which gives designers and engineers the ability to perform design operations on models that mix boundary representation (B-rep) and polygonal geometry formats. B-rep models are 3D solids that are the basis for many design and engineering operations, where polygonal (facet) models are associated with 3D scanning, topology optimization, and 3D printing. By enabling modeling operations on any combinations of the two formats, Convergent Modeling offers some promising applications for the Inspire product line, which provides integrated solutions for design, topology optimization, and additive manufacturing.

If you've been moving in fundraising circles over the past few years and listening to the right people, you'll have noticed an undercurrent of concern about giving.
There's a feeling, an indefinable niggle, that the Great British public's much-vaunted generosity might be starting to falter. Nonsense, others say; despite the scandals and the concerns about trust, giving is as strong as it ever was.
And at first glance, levels of giving to the biggest British charities look fairly buoyant. But dig down into the numbers, and those at other bellwether charities, and a slightly different picture starts to emerge, one that could be a bad omen for the future if the sector does not rethink its fundraising strategies.
Giving to the top-10 fundraising charities appears to have grown by 2.4 per cent over the past three years, from £1.76bn to £1.8bn. But analysis by Third Sector suggests this growth is mostly supported by a rise in legacy donations.
Between 2015/16 – or the nearest year for which the charities' accounts are available – and 2017/18, legacy income rose by 13.5 per cent, from £621.2m to £705.3m. Meanwhile, income from other types of donation, which was £1.14bn in 2015/16, fell to £1.1bn in 2016/17. It climbed slightly in 2017/18, but only by £2m, and there was still a 3.6 per cent drop across the three years. The fluctuations in the figures aren't dramatic, but they are enough to suggest that rising legacy income is masking a fall, or at the very least a levelling off, in other forms of fundraised income.
Among the 155 charities in Third Sector's Charity Brand Index of the best-known charities (see feature, pages 16 to 25), legacies grew between 2016/17 and 2017/18 (by 4.9 per cent to £1.6bn), while other donations fell (by 11.9 per cent to £3.2bn).
Meg Abdy (left), development director of the legacy consortium Legacy Foresight, says death rates and house price increases boosted the legacy market, particularly with residual gifts – bequests in which donors leave charities a percentage of their estates rather than fixed amounts – which often involve the sale of a house.
In the long term, Abdy says, this trend might continue, but she warns that the sector could be in for a shock in the short term. "I don't think charities can rely on legacy income to bolster voluntary income the way it has in the past three or four years," she says.
Brexit is beginning to have an effect on house prices already, she says, but a no-deal Brexit could have a big impact on legacy income for at least the next five years.
There are other warning signs. In March, Home Fundraising, one of the biggest door-to-door fundraising agencies, went into administration, blaming the costs of down-scaling the business to adapt to a changing marketplace. And the money raised by one of the UK's biggest giving events, Comic Relief's Red Nose Day, has fallen steadily since its peak in 2011, from a record of £108.4m to £82.1m in 2017. Its sister event, Sport Relief, had its lowest on-the-night total in a decade in 2018, raising £38m, down by £17m from the appeal in 2016.
Children in Need's appeals, on the other hand, seem stable, although the total raised in 2017 did fall slightly to £60.7m from £61m the year before. But this was still up from £56.9m in 2015.
The Charities Aid Foundation's UK Giving Report 2018, based on research that asks people how much they have given to charity in the past four weeks, concluded that giving had risen to £10.3bn in 2017 (up from £9.7bn the year before), but warned that this was driven by fewer people giving more: 37 per cent said they had donated money or sponsored someone in the past four weeks, down from 39 per cent in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Blackbaud Charitable Giving Report 2018, which measured donations actually given to 311 UK charitable organisations, said that overall giving fell by 4.2 per cent compared with the previous year. By comparison, overall charitable giving increased by 4 per cent in Australia and New Zealand and 1.5 per cent in the US.
Nick Pride, fundraising strategy director at the creative agency WPN Chameleon and former deputy head of fundraising at Oxfam, says there is a growing consensus that donations are coming under pressure. "I think most people are reaching the conclusion that we can't carry on as we have been," he says. "Well, we probably can, but we won't be able to do so for very long, and we'll reach the point at which the money will continue to decline and we won't have a better answer. We have to change."
The fall in fundraising income, Pride says, has come about because fundraising has become "divorced and separated from what's unique about the organisation" in too many charities. "It has become too focused on technique, and there's a danger of forgetting what the long-term vision is," he says.
The change that is needed is already happening in some quarters, Pride says, particularly at charities that have switched their focus from fundraising to supporter engagement, recognising that supporters' contributions can be more than financial.
"There's a lot of work still to be done on agreeing what engagement actually means," he says. "I think at the moment it's quite loose and, if we're not careful, it will become an excuse to carry on doing what we've always done, but calling it something else."
The key to more effective engagement, and thus more effective fundraising, he says, is to understand that it involves a two-way exchange. "What we have to figure out is what supporters of every kind are expecting and how we provide that," he says. "The expectations of the new supporter are very different from those of the older supporters: the fundraising they responded to is fast becoming old-fashioned."

How do I keep the new Gateway UI from switching to live TV when I finish watching a show on the PVR?
Now I am constantly pushing the STFU button every time I finish watching a show.
Hello jimbob82. When a you finish watching a recording, you would normally be presented with the option to keep or delete. Once you make the selection, it should return you to your recordings list with Live TV showing in the top right corner. Is it not doing this, just returning straight to Live TV?
With the old UI, it would remember I had pushed stop, and the right corner would be blank with no audio. Now I have to push stop after every show to get it to shut up.
Ahh I understand what you mean. There currently isn't any settings to change this. We can however pass along your feedback regarding this.
Please add my frustration to this as well - I have the exact same issue and when I hit the PVR button whatever channel I'm on in the guide starts playing. Just started yesterday (day before). HATE IT! Whoever thought to add this feature is clueless. But then again it IS Arris and I'm BEYOND fed up with them period! Might be time to switch to Telus.
kind of surprised that the gateway actually got a update is there any info on all of the changes?
If you're awake in the wee hours of the morning the Arris is always begging to restart for updates and maintenance (usually maintenance but I'll notice little changes here and there and NOT for the better. IE: now when looking through info on a show, while playing it live, the 'pages 1 of 5' or whatever COVERS the last line of the description - absolute morons) - it's annoying a.f. And it's practically every night they want to restart and they don't stop until you finally let it do its thing and occasionally it will say f.u. I'm doing it anyway and resets whatever you're watching back to the beginning of the show (pvr'd) so you have to be on top of the time you're at so you can jump ahead to where you were.

After going through all the macs I found 3 drives that wouldn't boot. And they did when I stored them. 2 gave constant restarts.........1 has come back to life - these drives were never opened and wont open them for a while. No clicking. - hoping its just bearings on the platter - took all the rest out and stored them facing the same way up as in the mac. - see what happens! - from the failures I have seen with liquefying seals and the overall age of the drives I don't think there is any method to keep these devices working for decades!
I get the same complaints for herself as well - I have to sneak new machines up the stairs when she is not looking. Picked up an IBM400 server last month - guy was giving it away and it looked like a large desktop in the picture. he was kind enough to bring it to my house. That's when I saw the true size of it.........It took 2 of us to carry it.....a massive machine. - you should of seen her face when we carried it into the kitchen! - get it, learn from it, you never know what you might learn. - every new machine is more knowledge - - just make sure you have the 'milk tray' and flowers in the other hand when you walk in with it!

If a relative, loved one or friend has just passed away, you will be feeling a great sense of loss. However, you may need to deal with a number of practical matters. We have put together some information to help you at this difficult time.
You can use the Government's service for reporting a death , which will notify the Council as part of its process. Alternatively you can contact us on 01329 236100. When notified we will pass on the details of the deceased to all of the relevant departments within the Council. You will also need to register the death with the registrar .
The things you need to do immediately after someone has died will depend on where their death has happened. This might be at home, in hospital or abroad. The Citizens Advice Bureau offers a comprehensive guide about this.
Most deaths happen in a hospital or a nursing home. Hospital staff will arrange for the body to be taken to the hospital mortuary and will contact next of kin (this does not need to be a relative). The hospital will keep the body in the mortuary until it is collected by a funeral director and usually taken to a chapel of rest. The hospital will arrange for next of kin to collect any possessions. If you wish, you may ask to see a hospital Chaplain.
When someone dies at home, you should phone their GP so that he/she can issue a certificate giving the cause of death. If they were not registered with a GP, you should call for an ambulance.
If someone dies abroad, it must be registered according to the law of that country. It should be reported to the British Consul who may be able to arrange for it to be registered in the UK. The cost of returning a body to the UK is expensive but might be covered by travel insurance. If your relative was on a package holiday, the tour operator should be able to help with arrangements.
A formal notice stating that the doctor has signed the medical certificate. It tells you how to get the death registered.
You may want to contact a Minister of Religion and a Funeral Director. If the death followed illness from HIV or Aids, there may be special rules about handling the body.
The police , who can help find any of the people above.
If you have any reason to suspect the death was not due to natural causes, do not touch or remove anything from the room. The doctor may ask relatives for permission to carry out a post mortem examination. This is a medical examination of the body to find out more about the cause of death and should not delay the funeral. The death may be referred to the Coroner.
The death was sudden or unexplained (such as the sudden death of a child).
You will be told if the death is to be reported to the Coroner. If this happens, the death cannot be registered nor can the funeral take place without the Coroner's authorisation. In these circumstances, the Coroner's Office will contact relatives. A Coroner can order a post-mortem examination without getting permission from relatives. It will try to determine the cause of death through an inquest. When an inquest is called, the Coroner's Office will contact relatives and issue a death certificate. Relatives must register the death with the Registrar but this cannot happen until an inquest ends. A certificate will normally be issued at the opening of the inquest so that the funeral can take place.
Coming to terms with your loss may be difficult but there are a number of organisations that can help, including Cruse-Bereavement Care or Counselling Directory .
Comprehensive information on the above and more is also available on the Government Directgov website .

ABP sponsors Teignmouth Carnival fun
ABP has proudly sponsored the Teignmouth Carnival for the first time. The Carnival ran from 28 July to 4 August, providing hours of entertainment in the sun for the local community and tourists alike.
One of the Carnival highlights was the 'Music Extravaganza' on the final day, funded by ABP, which was headlined by local acts, including DJ Mark Thompson and the band Harbour, and saw over 1,000 people attending.
As well as supporting the Music Extravaganza, earlier in the week, ABP ran a competition at 'The Den' on the Monday, offering visitors the opportunity to win a sea wildlife tour around the Devon coast, by guessing the number of sunflower pellets held in a jar. After many entries throughout the day, the prize went to a family who were on a visit to Teignmouth. All proceeds from the competition will be donated to Devon Air Ambulance.
An information stand was also set up to showcase ABP's South West ports of Teignmouth and Plymouth and how they operate day-to-day. It also explained how the ports work with and support local communities and wildlife.
Commenting on Carnival week, Councillor Jane Green, Mayor of Teignmouth, said: "We are proud that Teignmouth has a superb collection of businesses, which are vital to keep our town centre vibrant. The success of the carnival depends on the hard work of volunteers on the Teignmouth Carnival Committee and from kind donations from sponsors in order to deliver such a fantastic event."
Alex Chinchen, ABP's Divisional Port Manager, South West, said: "We were delighted to get involved in the Carnival this year, especially sponsoring such a huge day, and raising money for Devon Air Ambulance. The week has been a huge success, and we hope that by providing a stand at the event, we've made information about what we do more accessible for the people of Teignmouth."
Despite changeable weather, the Carnival was extremely popular, involving all parts of the community and helping to provide support for local businesses, schools and charities.

I now feel more comfortable talking to new people and visiting places on my own. It has given me connections and friends all over the world.
More about Julia
International Exchange: Melbourne, Australia
"I chose to take part in the programme as it sounded like a once-in-a-lifetime chance to live and study in a different country. I decided to go to Australia because I've always wanted to visit the country. I wanted to go somewhere that was English-speaking, as I felt I would be less nervous and that it would be easier to make friends.
"From the time I arrived I decided to get stuck in and take part in all the welcome activities and attended all the events in order to meet as many people as possible. This made me feel more comfortable as it meant I would recognise people around university and had friends to attend the first lectures and talks with.
"My favourite module was one called 'Indigenous Australia'. It taught us all about the aboriginal people in Australia, when they first inhabited and where and how they live today. This was really interesting as it is a module I would never have had the opportunity to do anywhere else. I also took a travel writing module which came under my communications course. They offer a more literature-based communication course than at NTU, so it was enjoyable to experience a different side of communications.
"My experience has made me more confident as an individual. I now feel more comfortable talking to new people and visiting places on my own. It has given me connections and friends all over the world, some of whom have already come over to visit me in England.
"Travelling with the friends I'd made once term had ended was a particular highlight as there are some amazing sights to see. We went kayaking in the sea at Byron Bay and saw whales and dolphins!
"I would definitely recommend the exchange to others. It has been the best decision I've ever made."

I'm a bit of a geek and trained as a science writer, so I subscribe to a number of science news and information newsletters. The other day this story from the Genetics Society of America came across my email box and I thought I'd share the gist of it with you.
Recent research, reported in the July 2010 issue of Genetics, shows that genes interacting with diet, rather than diet alone, are the main cause of variation in metabolic traits, such as body weight.
What does this mean? Well, it means that it is not just what you eat, but how your body interacts with what you eat that affects your ability to maintain your body weight. It also explains why some diets work better for some people than others.
The bottom line: This study strongly suggests that some individuals can achieve benefits from altering their dietary habits, while the same changes for others will have virtually no effect.
So, remember that fad diet you tried that worked great for your friend but not for you … it doesn't mean you did something wrong. It just means that the diet wasn't right for you and your individual genetic make up.
Now, this research was conducted using fruit flies … so the findings are not conclusive for humans. But it does point in a very interesting direction. There has been talk of tailoring medication to one's genetic make up. The findings of this study suggest that diets could also be much more successful when tailored to an individual's genes rather than to physical appearance, as well.
What I find also interesting is how this research intersects with the I Create My Body program. You see, your body intuitively knows what's good for you. When you participate in this program, you help your mind listen to your body, which means you will be more inclined to eat the foods that your body needs to loose and eventually maintain an healthy body weight. Basically, this program helps your mind and body work together to create your ideal body.

LogInActivity$2.onDataChange(LogInActivity.java:86)
A few days ago this login still worked, but recently I tried to login with a new account and this happened.

A: It looks like there is no node for the UID or that node doesn't have a string property userType.
Your code should probably handle the absence of the node for the user with:
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
    if (!dataSnapshot.exists()) throw new IllegalStateException("User "+uid+" not found in database");
    ...
}

It could also be that the UID node exists, but doesn't have a userType. I recommend actually validating that a user node always has a userType in security rules to validate data.
