COMPANY PROFILE: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors - LEDs combine impressive economy and luminous intensity
For a long time the use of LEDs was restricted to indicator lights on electrical equipment, effect lighting and a few experimental light fittings for the home. Now, however, these tiny light sources are being used more and more in general lighting applications.
New high-intensity LEDs can compete with conventional lamps in terms of their luminous intensity and completely outclass them in terms of economy. In many areas in which fluorescent, halogen and incandescent lamps have traditionally been used, such as architecture lighting, illuminated advertising and signage, security lighting and shop decoration, LEDs have now become a real alternative. The light emitting diode offers impressive economy, aesthetics and technology.
Imagine a room that is brightly lit but with no visible light fittings. Easy to do on a bright sunny day, but at night-time that is precisely what LED lighting can do – a real vision of the future. Although up to now a larger number of LEDs have had to be used to achieve the brightness levels of conventional light sources, their small size makes them extremely versatile and provides the impetus for new luminaire designs.
OSTAR Lighting LED
Even large LEDs are significantly smaller than fluorescent lamps or light bulbs. The Ostar from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, for example, is hexagonal in shape and can be used to create either two-dimensional or three-dimensional arrangements. It produces lots of light (420 lm at 700 mA) in a very small space.
Powerful effects can also be achieved in furniture lighting. LEDs such as the 0.3 mm-high SmartLED or the slightly larger SideLED from OSRAM can be incorporated unobtrusively in furniture designs to produce small but impressive lighting effects. In such applications the LEDs themselves are no longer seen as light sources.
Excellent heat dissipation means that the LEDs are extremely safe. Their long life of up to 50,000 hours and therefore their low maintenance requirements enable LEDs to be fully integrated, and there is no need to make sure they can be easily accessed. Glass cabinets can be lit more effectively with LEDs than with fluorescent lamps. OSRAM MultiLED, for example, has three individually controllable colour chips in red, green and blue which can be mixed to produce any colour.

LEDs are driving forward a revolution in so many different areas, particularly in luminaire design. Up to now, most people have associated artificial light with relatively large light fittings. With high-intensity LEDs, however, a table light with a light source measuring just a few square centimetres is all that is needed to provide enough light to work or read in comfort. The largest version of the high-output Ostar Lighting LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, for example, offers 420 lm at an operating current of 700 mA, which is more light than a standard 20 W low-voltage halogen lamp can provide. Economy is therefore another important aspect. The values for Ostar are better than those of any energy-saving lamp.
The right white for any situation
LEDs can do much more than provide light year after year after year while consuming very little electricity. They can create moods with crisp cool spotlighting or by simulating the cheering effect of natural sunlight – both are possible with modern converter technology.
The OSRAM Golden Dragon LED, for example, offers three different white tones with colour temperatures of 3250 K, 4200 K and 5600 K corresponding to warm white, neutral white and daylight white.
Turning Torso tower
With appropriate lighting control, a single table light can adapt to the various needs of users throughout the day and night. If the table light is equipped with LEDs such as Golden Dragons with different white tones, it can be used throughout the day with cold white light, making it ideal for working, and then switched to warm white LEDs in the evening to provide atmospheric background lighting or a pleasant light for reading. Coloured LEDs can also be combined to make the light more red or more blue for example.
This is a useful option not only for the domestic market but also for shop windows. During the day, the white light ensures that products appear in their natural colours. In the evening, coloured LEDs can create an eye-catching display all of their own. White LEDs such as the Golden Dragon or the Power TopLED from OSRAM can be mixed with coloured LEDs of the same type, which can be switched on and off as required.
Museums are another ideal application for light with different colour temperatures. Works of art can be highlighted without a spotlight to be seen. Thanks to the optimised heat dissipation of the SMT package there is no thermal stress on the illuminated objects, and sophisticated lighting solutions can be set up so that the lighting mood can be actively changed.
Use in outdoor lighting
As soon as the sun goes down, spotlights come on in every major city to bathe important buildings in light. Up to now this has involved high maintenance costs. The long life, low maintenance costs and low power consumption of LEDs make them particularly attractive not only indoors but also for outdoor applications. Compared with neon tubes they can save up to 80 percent of operating costs.
Nutcracker at Boston Ballet
With LEDs, there are virtually no limits on how "creative" lighting designers can be. The small size of LEDs and the ease with which they can be installed means that they can be used in innovative lighting concepts in areas of building facades where access is difficult. Whatever the application, suitable LEDs are available. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors offers products that cover all levels of brightness and all colours. During the day, there is little or nothing of the LED lighting system to be seen because it is so inconspicuously integrated into the fabric of the building. Thanks to their low weight, LED systems have a negligible effect on building loadings. This means that these innovative lighting systems can be installed in existing buildings with no problems at all. Another benefit of LEDs is that they are so robust. They will operate reliably at temperatures from minus 20 to plus 60 degrees Celsius.
It is not just on façades that LEDs can be used outdoors, they could revolutionise street lighting. Because LEDs are so small and weigh so little, the fittings do not have to be as bulky, either to accommodate the LEDs or to protect them from the weather. If equipped with a photo-voltaic system, LED path lighting need not be connected to an external power supply. This would also have an impact on operating costs. Again, the long life of LEDs would mean that there would be little or no need for maintenance work.
New technology for more light
Despite the many benefits, LEDs have only recently come into the reckoning for general lighting applications. For a long time, LEDs were not bright enough to warrant their use for room or façade lighting. A combination of new technologies has now overcome this weakness.
Travelling Light
The problem was that the substrate used for growing the semiconductor crystal in the LED remained in the diode and swallowed up much of the light generated. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors developed thin-film technology to counter this.
The process uses the substrate exclusively for growing the crystal and then it is removed. All that is left is a thin light-generating layer that is so close to the surface that almost all the light escapes at the top. With thin-film chips, numerous LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors have been given a huge boost in brightness. The Golden Dragon for example achieves a typical luminous efficacy of 40 lm/W in the cold white colour, 36 lm/W in neutral white and 32 lm/W in warm white, in each case with an operating current of 350 mA. This and the Ostar are two high-power LEDs that are now suitable for general lighting.
New technologies alone are not enough however to achieve maximum performance. The right combination is needed. Several chips connected in series ensure a much higher luminous efficacy. If a lens is then added to the LED, performance is improved still further. The best example is the Ostar Lighting high-power LED. This has six chips connected in series, producing a luminous flux of 300 lm. Combined with a suitable lens, peak output is boosted to 420 lm.
Producing coloured light the direct way
As in the case of conventional light sources, LEDs can bring colour to general lighting applications. The benefit of LEDs in this respect is well documented. They produce colour directly without having to filter them out of the visible spectrum. The result is much higher colour saturation than with other light sources, which in turn means more brilliant vibrant colours. Unsaturated colours, in other words white and mixed colours such as magenta and ice blue, can be created by a process known as luminescence conversion.
Bostonian shoe store
In this process, for example, the light from a blue LED excites a fluorescence phosphor that then emits yellow light. The mix produces white light. For luminescence conversion, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors uses a blue chip in manufacture in combination with red, green and yellow phosphors. Luminescence conversion can be used to create all the colours of the spectrum – including custom colours.
The light source of the future
In just a few years, LEDs have managed to gain a firm foothold in the general lighting market. Their enormous flexibility and impressive economy mean they can be used in an extremely wide range of areas and applications. What's more, they are particularly kind to the environment. They contain no lead or mercury and comply with RoHS and WEEE directives.
New developments have not only closed the gap in brightness between LEDs and conventional light sources, they have given LEDs properties that surpass those of their rivals. However this is just the start for LEDs. Over the next few years they are expected to get better and better and better.

How Grocers Could Combat Barriers to Selling More Produce
By Karen Buch, RDN, LDN - 09/19/2018
Eating fruits and vegetables regularly is a common element of some of the most healthful diets in the world when it comes to promoting longevity, increasing cognitive and emotional well-being, and preventing chronic diseases — including reduced risk for coronary artery disease, stroke and certain cancers. As an added bonus for retailers, when produce lands
in the shopping cart, overall basket size is 44 percent higher on average.
Though 39 percent of consumers say they're seeking more plant-based foods, only about 10 percent eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, and fewer than half of shoppers recently surveyed report eating fresh produce each day.
What stands in consumers' way of eating enough produce? Intake barriers include convenience, preparation time, spoilage and variation in family member preferences. Food retailers can help combat barriers by offering value-added products and services.
Boost Convenience
Fresh, pre-cut and prepared produce delivers time savings that can make all the difference in getting fruits and vegetables onto the plate.
Single-serve packs; snack box combos; family meal-starter kits that include on-trend, seasonally relevant salads and side dishes; and party platters offer grab-and-go solutions for time-pressed consumers.
Whether eating alone, feeding the family or entertaining a crowd, consumers want easy and convenient produce options that look and taste fresh.
Expand Local
According to IRI data, having locally sourced fruits and vegetables makes shoppers feel like the retailer cares about the welfare of the local community and is a contributing factor for where consumers choose to shop for and purchase produce.
Food Marketing Institute's (FMI) "Power of Produce 2017" report revealed that 54 percent of shoppers are hoping for an expanded local selection, with the attribute local often trumping organic when directly compared.
Use signage to call out local produce offerings that support local farms and agriculture and signal a halo of superior freshness.
Increase Trial
Half of all shoppers are creatures of habit, buying the same produce items over and over. Yet more than 80 percent would like advice on ways to prepare unfamiliar fruits and vegetables.
Introduce an unfamiliar produce item via your sampling program and ready-to-eat salad bar.
Provide descriptive messaging about its healthfulness, preparation, and optimal methods of serving and storage at the point of purchase, as well as via social media channels and your web and print ad, with an overlay of promotional savings to drive new purchases.
Tap Latest Resources
Retail dietitians can help amplify the healthfulness of eating produce and provide credible, science-based messages to inspire consumers to eat produce as part of an overall healthful diet.
Tap the following resources to support these efforts:
The Produce for Better Health (PBH) Foundation's 190-page "Health and Wellness Resource Guide for Fruit & Vegetables" (2017) highlights research findings and product-specific promotion tools for 75 fruit and vegetable varieties.
FMI's 40-page "Best Practices and Excellence in Fresh Department Health & Wellness" (2018) outlines how to use educational selling techniques and merchandising to leverage health and wellness to reduce customer confusion, build trust and drive growth in sales of produce.
The American Institute for Cancer Research's (AICR) 12,000-page "Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer: A Global Perspective" (2018) reinforces the goal to eat at least 30 grams of dietary fiber and 400 grams of fruit and vegetables daily, among other healthy habits.
Further, deliver produce-promotion messages throughout the year during National Family Meals Month and Fruits & Veggies More Matters Month (both in September); New Year, New You (January); American Heart Month (February); National Nutrition Month (March); National Cancer Control Month (April); National Grilling Month (July); and more.

L'esclave est un problème clivant au Delaware pendant les années qui précèdent la guerre de Sécession. L'opposition à l'esclavage au Delaware, qui plonge ses racines chez les Quakers de Pennsylvanie, pousse beaucoup de propriétaires d'esclaves à les émanciper ; la moitié de la population noire de l'État est libre en 1810, et plus de 90 % sont libres en 1860. Cette tendance amène aussi des législateurs conservateurs à restreindre les organisations de noirs libres, et la police de Wilmington est accusée d'application rigoureuse de la loi à l'encontre des  alors que beaucoup de Delawariens enlèvent des noirs libres parmi les grandes communautés dans tout l'État et le vendent dans des plantations plus au Sud.

Pendant la guerre de Sécession, le Delaware est un État esclavagiste qui reste au sein de l'Union. Le Delaware vote le  de ne pas faire sécession. Le Delaware avait été le premier État à embrasser l'Union en ratifiant le constitution et sera le dernier à la quitter, selon le gouverneur du Delaware de l'époque. Bien que la plupart des citoyens du Delaware qui ont combattu pendant la guerre de Sécession, l'ont fait dans des régiments de l'Union, quelques-uns ont servi dans des compagnies du Delaware du côté de la Confédération dans des régiments du Maryland et de Virginie.

Le gouvernement du Delaware n'a jamais formellement aboli l'esclavage pendant la guerre de Sécession ; cependant, une grande partie des propriétaires d'esclaves de l'État ont libéré leurs esclaves.

Deux mois avant la fin de la guerre de Sécession, le , le Delaware vote le rejet du  amendement de la constitution des États-Unis et vote en vain la poursuite de l'esclavage après la guerre de Sécession. Le Delaware ratifie symboliquement l'amendement le ,  après la proclamation d'émancipation d'Abraham Lincoln. L'esclavage au Delaware se termine seulement lorsque le  amendement prend effet en décembre 1865. Le Delaware rejette aussi le  amendement pendant la période de reconstruction.

Élection présidentielle de 1860
Dans la décennie qui précède l'élection présidentielle de 1860, le Delaware voit une forte augmentation de sa population. Cette augmentation de la population renforce les liens sociaux économiques avec les États du Nord sans toutefois rompre les liens agraires avec les États du Sud. L'augmentation de la population entre 1850 et 1860 est de 22 % pour l'ensemble de l'État et est de 52 % pour la seule ville de Wilmington.

En 1860, si dans les États du Nord, le parti républicain a absorbé le parti whig et des Know Nothing, dans les États limitrophes, les sympathisants whigs et know nothing préfèrent le nouveau parti de l'Union constitutionnelle qui nomme John Bell pour la candidature à la présidence. Certains des délégués démocrates, dont James Bayard et William Whiteley tentent de s'opposer à la nomination du sénateur Stephen Douglas à la candidature démocrate. Cela aboutit à la présence de deux tickets démocrates, celle de Stephen Douglas et celle de John Breckinridge.

Lors de la course au congrès, le parti républicain et le parti de l'Union constitutionnelle s'unissent face au parti démocrate divisé, parviennent à faire élire  et obtiennent une faible marge à la chambre des représentants et au sénat.

Maintien dans l'Union
Le Delaware, comme le Maryland, est géographiquement intégré au Nord mais a un tempérament sudiste. Si les mouvements minoritaires pro-sécessionnistes tentent de faire pencher la balance vers la cause confédérée, les mouvements de troupes fédérales vers Wasington D.C. participent à maintenir l'État dans l'Union.

Le gouverneur de l'État, Willam Burton, sympathisant des États du Sud, tente de faire tenir une convention spéciale pour décider du sort du Delaware et le faire basculer dans la sécession. Si la législature nouvellement élue a des sympathies pro-sudistes, elle est néanmoins en désaccord avec lui sur le sujet de la sécession. Par un vote, à l'unanimité dans la chambre basse et à cinq contre trois au sénat, la sécession est désapprouvée.

Élection présidentielle de 1864
Lors de l'élection présidentielle de 1864, le Delaware est toujours divisé. Les élections se déroulent comme en 1862 et 1863 sous la supervision des troupes de l'Union, et les soldats de l'Union reviennent voter. Le parti démocrate tire les conclusions de son boycott aux élections de 1863 et participe activement aux élections. Le parti démocrate remporte les élections grâce aux comtés de Kent et de Sussex. Le Delaware fait alors partie des trois États qui donnent leurs voix à George McClellan. Lors de l'élection présidentielle de 1864, le Delaware, avec le New Jersey et le Kentucky, n'est pas remporté par Abraham Lincoln. À la fin 1864, le parti démocrate est alors majoritaire aux deux chambres de l'assemblée générale de l'État ce qui empêchera la ratification du treizième amendement de la constitution. Seul, le gouverneur reste républicain.

Le Delaware rejette le  amendement, comme il le fera en 1868 pour le  amendement en 1868 et le  amendement en 1870 qui étendent les droits civils des anciens esclaves.

Contexte
Selon le recensement de la population de 1860, l'État du Delaware compte  dont  soit 1,6 de la population. La population blanche compte  et la population de couleur compte  à laquelle il faut ajouter les esclaves.

En avril 1861, le président Lincoln lance un appel pour lever  contre les sept États confédérés, à ce moment, et garantir les propriétés fédérales. La circulaire du secrétaire de la guerre aux gouverneurs fournit les indications pour la levée de  de . Le Delaware doit fournir un seul régiment. Néanmoins, si le gouvernement, en tant qu'État à esclaves, refuse de fournir ce régiment, les habitants du Delaware en organisent un de leur propre initiative.

Esclavage
Avant la fin de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, le Massachusetts et la Pennsylvanie avaient voté l'extinction graduelle de l'esclavage dans leur État. Le États au Nord du Delaware suivent au cours du temps l'exemple de ces deux États, mais le Delaware reste un État esclavagiste. Cependant, la population en servitude décroît progressivement passant de  (soit 6 % de la population)  en 1810 à  (soit 4 % de la population) en 1830, et à  (soit 1,6 % de la population) en 1860. En 1860, le nombre de propriétaire d'esclaves s'élève à  dont  de moins de  et  de 10 à .

Hippolyte-Lazare Carnot écrit sur la situation des esclaves dans le Delaware :

Néanmoins, le témoignage de Mistris Ellis tempère ce constat :

Par ailleurs, le premier paragraphe de la  de  de la constitution des États-Unis du  met fin à l'importation d'esclaves après 1808. L'une des conséquences de cette interdiction d'importation est l'enlèvement d'Afro-Américains libres qui sont vendus en tant qu'esclaves dans les États esclavagistes. La majorité des enlèvements a lieu dans les États frontaliers de la Pennsylvanie, le Maryland et le Delaware. L'avocat et pamphlétaire anti-esclavagiste Jesse Torrey a déclaré qu'il faudrait un livre pour enregistrer le nombre d'enlèvement de noirs libres au Delaware. Les raisons avancées pour lesquelles la Pennsylvanie, le Maryland et le Delaware sont des États avec un grand nombre d'enlèvements sont qu'il y a une grande communauté d'Afro-Américains libres, qu'ils sont proches de la ligne Mason-Dixon et l'anonymat des ports de Philadelphie, Wilmington et Baltimore favorisent les enlèvements.

You will need Xamarin iOS Bussiness version for iOS development. Click here to purchase a license or download an evaluation copy.
Emgu CV for iOS is available as a commercial product. You can purchase Emgu CV iOS Commercial License 3.0 from our web store. Once the license is purchased, the receipt, download url and login credential will be emailed to you.
The System.Drawing namespace is provided by OpenTK package on MonoTouch.
MonoTouch does not contains the implementation of the "Bitmap" class. As a result, the Image<,> class does not have constructors that accepts Bitmap, it does not contains the Bitmap property nor ToBitmap() function. Instead, the Image<,> class contains a constructor that accepts a "CGImage" that converts a CGImage to Image<,> object, It also contains an ToUIImage() function to convert the Image<,> object to native UIImage object.
The Emgu.CV.GPU namespace is only provided for compilation against shared code developed for desktop system that optionally use GPU computation. The function GpuInvoke.HasCuda will always return false on iOS. If you are doing a fresh development for iOS you can skip this reference.
We will show you how to create a new MonoTouch Project for iOS.
First, download Emgu CV for iOS and extract it to a local drive. From Mac OS, open the file "Solution/MonoTouch/Emgu.CV.MonoTouch.sln". You will find a MonoTouch solution with some sample projects. In this case we will walk you through creating a new face detection sample.
We need Emgu.CV.GPU.MonoTouch here because we are going to share the engine source code with Windows and Linux, which can take advantage of GPU if CUDA compatible one is presented. If you do not plan to reuse source code that take advantage of GPU on desktop/server platform, you can skip this reference. We will also need to reference OpenTK because this reference provide System.Drawing namespace on MonoTouch. We add MonoTouch.Dialog-1 because we want to use it for GUI development.
Now go into project configuration and make sure Linker behaviour is set to "Dont' Link" for both debug and release, for both iphone simulator and device. Otherwise you may get a compilation errors.
Go to advance tab of the configuration, for supported architecture, you may wants to select ARMv6+ARMv7 for both debug and release, for both iphone simulator and device. This allow the compiled program to run on all versions of iPhone and iPad. Enabling ARMv7 also means if the iOS device contains an ARMv7 CPU, it can take advantage of the ARMv7 CPU architecture. For release mode on IPhone Device, you may wants to enable "Use LLVM optimizing compiler" for best performance.
Next we will need to add the data files to the project. We will add the image "lena.jpg", the haarcascade files "haarcascade_eye.xml" and "haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml" file as project content. We will also add the "DetectFace.cs" file from our windows Face Detection example as a linked file, such that the computational routine is shared by the desktop version and the mobile version of the Face Detection program.
The code above will create a "Process" button, such that once it is clicked, it will load "lena.jpg", perform face and eyes detection and draw it on iOS. The function DetectFace.DetectAndDraw is the same function that is provided in the Windows Face Detection example that we re-use for mobile development.
We are ready to test the face detection program on Simulator. Just click the "run" button in MonoTouch and the program will be build. The simulator will open up to install the program and run it from there. Just click the "Process" button on the simulator and the result of the face detection will be displayed.
The simulator run the application on a mac mini with a dual core 2.3GHz i5 cpu, so the computation is done relatively fast compares to a physical device.
At last, we will run it on an iPad 2 in release mode. you will need to register your device for development under the Apple's developer program before going to the next step. If you have already done so, just connect the iPad to your Mac, select "Release|iPhone" in MonoTouch, rebuild "Emgu.CV.MonoTouch" project and the "FaceDetection Project". What is left is "Run" the project. For more information view here.

This is my first blog entry, ever.
A bit about my creative process: I can guess how long a piece will take, and it generally takes me less than that in actual hours, but more in cumulative time, because I need pad and buffer time. I need to know a piece of writing or a drawing can sit and breathe. A piece may take 15 hours if we add up the punches on the clock, but doesn't mean that if I started it on Monday morning, it was done Tuesday evening. It most likely means that it was started Monday morning and completed 2 to 3 weeks later, with a total of 15 hours within those weeks.
I tend to feel stressed when I don't give myself breathing time for a piece. And I find that work with no deadline tends to be the best work. With All Over Coffee, published once a week, I find that deadlines are helpful for creating structure, and I've learned how to dovetail pieces so that one is finished each week. Some sit on the table for months, while others sit only for days, but with the weekly deadline I must always stay in motion and bring pieces to completion. The deadline keeps me working, and by working on several pieces at once I can give a piece time to breathe if it needs it, rather than force it to wrap up prematurely. It's a rare day when three finish at the same time, mostly because I'll let them breathe until I think I'm overworking them. Also, becuase All Over Coffee is a series, it's about working out ideas and continuing to make pieces, whereas a short story or a one off piece is summed up in its singularity, and doesn't necessarily have the benefit of a group context.

When we are asked if we can build mobile applications (we can and do!) I like to enquire about the reasons behind this request. Often the solution is better suited as a Progressive Web App.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are websites that use features available in modern web browsers to provide functionality similar to native applications.
A PWA has these defining characteristics:
Reliable: Network-independent; application is usable regardless of whether your device is online or offline
Linkable: You can share a link to a specific page or content, just like a website
Progressive: Provides full set of functionality to capable devices and an acceptable level of functionality to less capable devices
Responsive: Looks great on any screen size
Re-engageable: Notifications re-engage users when new content is available
Safe: Runs on your device and loads content with industry-standard protections (HTTPS)
Discoverable: Application information is published in a standardized, machine-readable way. Users can find applications with search engines and other indexes
Installable: Can be added to your device's home screen for access later
(list sourced from MDN)
PWAs provide the following benefits:
Cross platform, runs where ever a web browser runs
While exact functionality might differ depending on the vendor, hardware and operating-system of the device, a PWA will address all of the features listed above. Apple, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft and Samsung have all committed to supporting PWA features in the latest versions of their web browsers and operating systems.
Enhance your existing systems or processes
Fetch data from your website or content management system (CMS) or send data to it. Take advantage of your device's hardware; GPS, camera, accelerometer and push-notifications.
Network independent, functions offline
We have built PWAs that allow users to collect and record data while in remote, offline conditions and synchronize/share with existing systems when they come back into connectivity.
Flexible but familiar distribution and deployment
PWAs are websites; they can be hosted on a private server or in the cloud. Accessible with with public URLs or behind authentication systems. There are no fees, moderation queues or gatekeepers to control publishing and distribution.
Fast and barrierless or gradual installation
Installation involves just visiting a URL. Some devices will offer an optional step to add the PWA to the homescreen for quick access and extra functionality. This can be performed on first load or at a later date.
Examples of PWAs
Try some of these out on your phone, tablet and desktop:
Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps?force=pwa
Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com
Starbucks: https://app.starbucks.com
Lyft: https://ride.lyft.com
Uber: https://m.uber.com

Consider a PWA
Like any technology, Progressive Web Apps do not fit every situation, but by building on top of web technologies they benefit from existing infrastructure and familiarity. The defining characteristics of PWAs add to these benefits, providing an experience similar to a native mobile application. Talk to us if you're planning to add a mobile application to your product, system or service — we'll help you figure out if a PWA would work for you.
**Update (06/02/18)** - Microsoft have just posted an announcement detailing their commitment to PWAs and their integration into upcoming versions of Windows 10 and their Edge web browser, excellent timing! Definitely worth clicking through for a read.

Rutgers hoping to spoil Barrett's 2015 starting debut
Who: No. 1 Ohio State vs. Rutgers
When: Saturday, 8 p.m. ET
Where: High Point Solutions Stadium, Rutgers
TV: ABC
Spread: Ohio State -21.5
Matchup to watch: Leonte Carroo vs. Vonn Bell
No B1G receiver is playing at the level Carroo is playing at right now. He has nine touchdowns in 14 quarters of football this year. That's absurd. Nobody can match up with him one-on-one and for some reason, he's been able to get behind defenses. Well, a midseason All-American safety will look to change that. Bell can make a one-on-one matchup on the outside all but disappear with the way he helps out over the top. The former five-star recruit has emerged into a bonafide star on the Buckeye defense that ranks fourth in the country against the pass. Carroo is considered a game-time decision because of an ankle injury, but it would be surprising to see the senior sidelined for a challenge against the nation's best. Carroo will need to be at full strength to win battles against a safety like Bell.
Thing I'm excited to see: J.T. Barrett start at quarterback
The time has finally come. Barrett is starting once again — eight weeks too late if you ask some — for the high-powered Buckeyes. It was a move that Urban Meyer had to make after Barrett stole the show in each of the last two Buckeye victories. With the ground game rolling like it was, the Buckeyes looked like the team we all expected them to be. Maybe Barrett finally felt 100 percent operating on the ankle he broke at the end of 2014. Whatever the case may be, the Buckeyes now have the mobile threat at quarterback that best fits Meyer's offense. With it being Barrett's first start in 11 months, expect the Buckeyes to establish the ground game before they start airing it out. Barrett might be understandably over-amped for this one.
Number to remember: 1
Ready for a stat that will blow your mind? The Scarlet Knights are the B1G's best converting third downs. That's a credit to Chris Laviano, who has looked rock solid since coming off the bye. It also helps that Rutgers has three capable backs in Josh Hicks, Robert Martin, and Paul James, all of whom have flashed big-play ability this year. That means Ohio State, which has been susceptible to allowing long runs in recent weeks, can't assume a third down is automatically a pass. Sure-tackler Joshua Perry will still be battling an ankle injury, so Raekwon McMillan and Darron Lee will have to do a better job of containing the run than they did last week.
Prediction: Ohio State 42, Rutgers 24
When Carroo is on the field, the Rutgers offense actually looks better than advertised. Unfortunately for the Scarlet Knights, they don't have anywhere near the weapons Ohio State has. With all the attention on Barrett, Elliott eclipses 200 yards and gets a couple second-half scores. Joey Bosa and Tyquan Lewis continue their harassment of opposing quarterbacks and keep the pressure on Laviano. I do expect Rutgers will make enough plays in the running game to keep this close in the first half. But the Buckeyes, as they've done all year, will turn on the burners in the second half and cruise to a three-possession victory.

Charles Netter (; 14 September 1826 – October 2, 1882), was a founding member of the Alliance Israélite Universelle. In 1870, Netter founded Mikveh Israel, the first modern Jewish agricultural settlement in the Land of Israel.

Biography

Charles Netter was born in Strasbourg in 1826 to a Rabbinic family. He studied in Strasbourg and Belfort, and engaged in business in London, Moscow, and Lille. He later moved to Paris. Netter died in Jaffa on October 2, 1882, during a visit to Mikveh Israel. He is buried in Mikveh Israel, his tombstone erected by the AIU.
He is considered the pioneer of Jewish agriculture in Israel, having founded the school which educated many members of Bilu and the First Aliyah.
Several Israeli cities have named streets after him. Kfar Netter, a moshav near Netanya was founded in 1939, by graduates of Mikveh Israel.

Alliance Israélite Universelle (AIU)
On May 17, 1860, in Paris, in response to antisemitic incidents such as the abduction of Edgardo Mortara and the Damascus affair, he was one of the six founders of the Alliance Israélite Universelle. The founding members defined the organization's goals:
"To gather good-natured people to fight against hate and prejudice.
To create a society of young idealist and militant Jews that feel solidarity with all those who suffer from their condition as Jews or all those who are victims of prejudice, regardless of their religion.
To ensure that culture replaces the ignorance of fanatics, for the good of all.
If you believe that this would be an honor for your religion, a lesson for the people, a progress for humanity, a triumph for truth and for universal reason to witness all the vibrant forces of Judaism come together, small with respect to number but large with respect to love and good will, come to us, we are thus founding the Alliance israélite universelle."
Netter was appointed general secretary of the newly formed organization, and was joined 4 years later  by French-Jewish politician Adolphe Crémieux who would serve as the president of the society while holding the position of French Minister of Justice.

Mikveh Israel
In 1868 Netter visited Palestine for the first time. He was sent as a representative of the AIU, to examine the needs of the Jewish community. Upon his return he recommended that a new agricultural settlement be founded, and be used as an agricultural school for Jewish men. Netter obtained an audience with the Ottoman Emperor in Constantinople, and was rewarded with land near Jaffa. The required funds were acquired from the AIU, and Mikveh Israel () was founded in 1870.  During the first years Netter struggled with objections of the Jewish Old Yishuv leaders, who concentrated on Torah studies and relied on donations from Jews in the diaspora. The Old Yishuv opposition to Jewish manual labor in the holy land, and clashes with Arab inhabitants of nearby Yazur disrupted development and recruitment of students. The funds proved insufficient as well, and Netter donated his own money, and raised funds from other philanthropists, like Crémieux and the Baron Maurice de Hirsch. Netter managed the school until 1873. He overcame the difficulties of establishing and maintaining the settlement, but accustomed to living conditions in Western-Europe, his health deteriorated. Following his doctor's advice he returned to Europe, but continued to raise funds and support the school, and continued his activities for the AIU. He was involved in protecting the rights and safety of the Jewish community in Morocco, and was in charge of emigration of Russian-Jewish refugees to North-America following the introduction of the May Laws.

Freemason lodge
Charles Netter was one of the twenty signers of a petition sent to a Canadian Freemason leader, who subsequently agreed to the establishment of a lodge "in Jerusalem and surroundings". Only six of those who signed the letter were living in Ottoman Palestine at the time, Netter being the only Jew among the six. The initiator was the prominent American poet and Freemason, Rob Morris, while Rolla Floyd (1832-1911), a fellow American, Jaffa resident and tourism entrepreneur, and German photographer Peter Bergheim (1813-1895) were another two of the six Holy Land-based petitioners. As a result of their initiative, the Royal Solomon Mother Lodge N° 293 was consecrated on May 7, 1873.

Impact of Crude Oil on Pre-Generated Foam in Porous Media
A. A.A. Hussain, S. Vincent-Bonnieu, R. Z. Kamarul Bahrim, R. M. Pilus, W. R. Rossen
As foam is injected into an oil reservoir, the region near an injector can become oil-free due to the relatively high capillary number. Foam created in this region encounters oil further out in the reservoir. The impact of oil on foam in porous media is usually investigated by co-injecting surfactant, gas and oil, or by injecting pre-generated foam into an oil-saturated core. However, the former experiment does not give information on the impact of oil on pre-generated foam, and with the latter experiment one cannot easily obtain data at different oil fractional flows, necessary to model the impact of oil on pre-generated foam. Here we present a novel but relatively simple experimental technique for investigating the effect of oil on pre-generated foam in porous media. This allows one to compare the effects of oil on pre-generated foam and on foam generation without the experimental complications involved in using two separate porous media. We co-inject surfactant solution and gas into a relative narrow core (1 cm diameter), and inject oil into the core some distance downstream from the inlet through ports in the side of the core. The relatively narrow core allows rapid contact between the injected crude oil and pre-generated foam in a porous medium much larger than pore dimensions. By injecting the three phases into the core we investigate the flow behaviour of foam with oil at fixed fractional flows of all three phases. We illustrate the technique with a study of the effect of one crude oil with two surfactants. With this system, there is a progressive decrease in the apparent viscosity of the foam after encountering oil. Foams with a higher gas fraction experiences a more-significant weakening by oil over the length of the core than foams with a lower gas fraction. By the end of the core, the apparent viscosities of foam with a higher gas fraction approach values observed with three-phase co-injection. We present a novel, but relatively simple method to investigate the change of foam mobility as it encounters oil in a porous medium, at controlled fractional flows. We show that in our case the apparent viscosity of foam with oil can decrease by more than a factor of four over a distance of 15 cm, indicating that foam and oil reach steady-state (as observed with three-phase co-injection) almost instantaneously compared to the length of a reservoir-simulation grid-block.

Foam created in this region encounters oil further out in the reservoir. The impact of oil on foam in porous media is usually investigated by co-injecting surfactant, gas and oil, or by injecting pre-generated foam into an oil-saturated core. However, the former experiment does not give information on the impact of oil on pre-generated foam, and with the latter experiment one cannot easily obtain data at different oil fractional flows, necessary to model the impact of oil on pre-generated foam. Here we present a novel but relatively simple experimental technique for investigating the effect of oil on pre-generated foam in porous media. This allows one to compare the effects of oil on pre-generated foam and on foam generation without the experimental complications involved in using two separate porous media. We co-inject surfactant solution and gas into a relative narrow core (1 cm diameter), and inject oil into the core some distance downstream from the inlet through ports in the side of the core. The relatively narrow core allows rapid contact between the injected crude oil and pre-generated foam in a porous medium much larger than pore dimensions. By injecting the three phases into the core we investigate the flow behaviour of foam with oil at fixed fractional flows of all three phases. We illustrate the technique with a study of the effect of one crude oil with two surfactants. With this system, there is a progressive decrease in the apparent viscosity of the foam after encountering oil. Foams with a higher gas fraction experiences a more-significant weakening by oil over the length of the core than foams with a lower gas fraction. By the end of the core, the apparent viscosities of foam with a higher gas fraction approach values observed with three-phase co-injection. We present a novel, but relatively simple method to investigate the change of foam mobility as it encounters oil in a porous medium, at controlled fractional flows. We show that in our case the apparent viscosity of foam with oil can decrease by more than a factor of four over a distance of 15 cm, indicating that foam and oil reach steady-state (as observed with three-phase co-injection) almost instantaneously compared to the length of a reservoir-simulation grid-block.

20 Mar Action has been taken by US federal authorities to force New York City to cover Hillview Reservoir and make other improvements at a cost of almost $3bn (£2.25bn).
The Department of Justice and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have filed suit under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act against the city of New York and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection "for their longstanding failure to cover the Hillview Reservoir". A consent decree requiring the city to make improvements and cover the reservoir at an estimated cost of US$2.975bn and to pay a US$1m civil penalty was also lodged with the court.
The reservoir is part of New York City's public water system. It is an open storage facility and is the last stop for drinking water before it enters the city's water tunnels for distribution to city residents. The 90-acre reservoir is divided into two segments, the east and west basins. Prior to the water entering the reservoir, it receives a first treatment of chlorine and ultraviolet treatment. Since the Reservoir is an open storage facility, the treated water in the Reservoir is subject to recontamination with microbial pathogens from birds, animals, and other sources, such as viruses, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium, said the Department of Justice.
The consent decree requires construction of two projects in addition to the cover, the Kensico Eastview Connection (KEC) and the Hillview Reservoir Improvements (HRI). The KEC entails the construction of a new underground aqueduct segment between the upstream Kensico Reservoir and Eastview ultraviolet treatment facility. The HRI requires extensive repairs to the Hillview Reservoir, including replacing the sluice gates that control water flow and building a new connection between the reservoir and water distribution tunnels. The city estimates the construction cost of the KEC to be approximately US$1bn and the cost of the HRI to be approximately US$375m.
Following the completion of the KEC and the HRI, the East Basin cover will be constructed, with expected commencement of full operation in 2042, and then the West Basin cover will be constructed, with expected commencement of full operation in 2049. The City's estimate in 2009 for the cost of its then planned concrete cover for the 90-acre Reservoir was US$1.6bn.


Purewine is a dilute (<3%) food grade solution of hydrogen peroxide specially manufactured for the purpose of reducing preservatives in wine.
How do I use Pure Wine Drops?
What happens if I put in too much?
It will probably result in some increased oxidation of the wine but no other harmful effects.
What are the signs of oxidation?
Generally there is lack of fresh aroma's, the taste may seem a little flat and the colour will deepen (in whites) and brown (in reds).
When used as directed there is no noticeable change to the taste.
I am very sensitive to sulphites can I increase the amount added to be extra safe?
Yes, the addition of an extra 1-3 drops per bottle will ensure the level of preservatives is extremely low but there is a possibility the wine will show some signs of oxidation. Trial and error with your favourite wine is a good option.
Are the by products produced by removing the sulphites harmful?
Purewine changes the harmful sulphites into harmless sulphates and are in tiny quantities, similar to the level found in drinking water.
What will happen to an unfinished treated bottle of wine?
As the wine is low in preservatives after treatment it will generally start to oxidise after 24 hours.
Why does wine have sulphites?
Why did we invent Pure Wine Drops?


Numbers Lie: Hidden Bias - Outlier AI, Inc.
We have covered a number of different kinds of Metrics Bias this week including collection, interpretation and focus. However, what about the other bias that is hiding in your data, a bias that is specific to your business and the assumptions you have made? How do you find those hidden biases that might color your decisions?
Obviously, it is not healthy to be paranoid about your data and your decisions all the time. However, it's also impossible to avoid every possible kind of bias in your data. The good news is that to make data driven decisions you do not need certainty, you just need a preponderance of evidence.
If we assume our data is fully accurate and complete we would immediately drop the Fried Clams and Fried Shrimp! They make the least profit for us.
However, if we assume we might have a hidden bias in our data then we might look a little further at the Fried Clams just to be sure it's worth dropping. We might find that our cashiers were mistakenly recording an order of clams for an order of fries! Or we might find out that 90% of the people who order clams also order a lobster roll, our highest profit item. Or we might find out that customers who buy clams come back every day and are our most loyal customers. Any of those factors might be hiding in the data since the signal is not clear.
Handling hidden bias is as simple as verifying your conclusions, looking for strong signals in the data and double checking your work. By assuming there is bias in your data you'll be more likely to find it or at least compensate for it when making decisions!
Those shrimp, though, have to go.
Next week we're going to tackle a topic requested by a reader! How do I determine my customer acquisition cost, the price I pay to gain new customers? It can be a harder question to answer than it seems.

The Conspiracy of Michael Pare's Acting Career
A while back, I got caught up in a movie-themed stream of consciousness that brought to mind several movies that would not be considered classics. Like a good blogger, I wrote a post about it. A few days ago that same movie-themed stream of consciousness hit me again as I was flipping through the guide.
It was late. Necole was asleep, but I wasn't at that point yet. That's when I came upon The Philadelphia Experiment, a 1984 movie starring Michael Pare. There is supposed to be one of those lines over the E in his last name, but I can't figure out how to do that. Anyway, Pare is a sailor during World War II, and his ship is being put through an experiment. That navy is trying to make it invisible to radar. Instead, they make it completely invisible. When the ship returns, all sorts of strangeness has taken place. Some people have become part of the ship. Pare and this other guy are luckier. They get thrown into the 1980s.
It's typical of a 1980s time travel movie except for one thing. A lot of people think this really happened. There are a lot of famous conspiracy theories out there, but this is one that flies under the radar. I suppose that's a pun. Anyway, there is this idea that a World War II experiment made a ship vanish into thin air and return with all kinds of messed up stuff, and the government has been keeping it a secret all of these years.
I watched the beginning of the movie, but my mind drifting to best of all Michael Pare movies, Eddie and the Cruisers.
Made in 1983, this movie follows a reporter who is doing a story about a long dead singer from the 1950s. She interviews the members of his band and learns some interesting things. There is a recording that has never been released, and someone claiming to be Eddie is trying to get that recording. Is Eddie alive? Is Eddie dead? It's a mystery. Wait, it's a conspiracy.
That's went it hit me. Did the navy make a ship disappear? Did a singer survive a wreck and live the rest of his life in obscurity? Michael Pare was the king of conspiracy movies, and that answers a question for which I have always wanted to know the answer. Why did Houston Knights, Pare's television series, not make it?
This show had it all. There was a Chicago cop working in a city that is strange to him. His partner is a local boy who knows his way around Houston.
They fight crime while one tries to figure out where he is and the other one laughs at him about it. How could a show like that misfire? It has to be a conspiracy. Hell, Michael Pare's career is filled with conspiracies.
There's more. An actor named John Hancock also appeared in the series, and there has to be a lot of conspiracy theories involving the original John Hancock. After all, he was a Founding Father, and everyone knows they were up to their eyeballs in the Freemasons.
There's also this. Michael Beck, who was the second part of the cop buddy system, starred in Megaforce, a 1982 movie about a secret group of elite soldiers who fight evil around the world. These guys have it all. Flying motorcycles. Cool spandex uniforms. A giant cave hideout in the middle of the desert. They have names like Ace, Dallas and Sixkiller. What else can you ask for in a movie?
I'll tell you what else you could ask for – Michael Pare. He should have been in it. That would have been three years in a row of conspiracy movies and made him the super king of the genre. Think about it.
Megaforce in 1982.
Eddie and the Cruisers in 1983.
The Philadelphia Experiment in 1984.
With that under his belt, Houston Knights would have made it past two seasons and become a classic. Instead, it fell victim to its own conspiracy. If a Michael Pare vehicle doesn't involve a conspiracy, then no one will accept it.
Anyway, that's the kind of stuff that runs through my mind while flipping through the television guide late at night.

That's a lot of stuff going through your head. Maybe too much. Beware of brain freeze!
I think you get that accent over the "e" on your keyboard using special characters. You probably have to do it in a document than paste it into WP. Which seems like way too much effort, so forget I said anything.
I'm allergic to conspiracy books and movies. They give ME brain freeze. I have a couple of friend/acquaintances who are sure Everyone Is Out To Get Us. I do not spend a lot of time in their company. It isn't good for my mental health (such as it is).
Rick December 21, 2013 at 22:21 #
I figured there was a way to get the mark over the E. As you said, that's too much trouble. I'll just go with the plain E. My colleague teaches a class on conspiracy theories in American history. He examines why we attach ourselves to them. The students, on the other hand, focus on the aliens.
El Guapo December 21, 2013 at 23:03 #
Alas, there's one thing that destroys all of Michael Pare's credibility: Eddie and the Cruisers Two.
That is an absolute fact.
jcalberta December 22, 2013 at 14:23 #
If he'da got thrown into the 60's instead he had mighta had a chance. The surf was up.
It would have been an easier adjustment. Plus, he could have seen Eddie and the Cruisers play.

DeCalon Brooks named to Wuerffel watch list
Written by FSU sports information	in Football
DeCalon Brooks contributed more than 60 hours of community service in 2018-19. (Photo by Jeremy Esbrandt)
Florida State linebacker DeCalon Brooks has been named to the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, it was announced Thursday.
Brooks has established himself as one of Florida State's most active student-athletes in the community, contributing more than 60 hours of service in the 2018-19 school year. He accrued those hours by working with various organizations and events, including the American Red Cross, Literacy Week, Purpose Build, Kickin' it for Autism, Kearny Center and Big Bend Hospice. The sophomore also spearheaded FSU's "Lift for Life" event, which was put on in conjunction with Uplifting Athletes to raise funds for the fight against rare diseases.
Following Hurricane Michael, the only Category 5 hurricane ever to make landfall in the Florida panhandle, Brooks joined 40 FSU student-athletes on a service trip to assist in clean up and repair efforts in Panama City. Brooks serves as the team's liaison for student services and helped organize the football team's efforts, which had the fourth-highest total among FSU's 18 varsity sports with a total of 706 hours. For his efforts, Brooks was awarded the ACC Top 6 for Service honor.
On the field, Brooks played in the final 11 games of 2018 and made seven starts, recording 46 tackles, including 3.0 for loss with 1.0 sack, two pass breakups, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The Tampa native made his first start at Syracuse and registered a career-high nine tackles. Two weeks later, Brooks was named ACC Linebacker of the Week after matching his career-high tackles total and adding a career-best 2.0 tackles for loss with 1.0 sack, one forced fumble and one quarterback hurry in a 28-24 win at Louisville.
The Wuerffel Trophy is named for Fort Walton Beach native and 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel and is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
