Collaboration on Water Treatment & Salmon Hatchery in B.C.
Todd Westcott
The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and the Courtenay and District Fish & Game Protective Association (Fish & Game Association) have reached an agreement that will see the CVRD acquire a key piece of land and statutory rights-of-way needed for the construction of key infrastructure for the new Comox Valley Water Treatment Project. In exchange, the CVRD will provide the raw water needed for the Fish & Game Association's proposed hatchery project.
"This land acquisition marks a significant milestone for the Comox Valley Water Treatment Project following the recent federal-provincial grant funding announcement," said Bob Wells, chair of the Comox Valley Water Committee. "This agreement is a win-win for the community, enabling construction of key infrastructure for the project while providing the Fish & Game Association with the means to move its environmentally significant hatchery project forward."

The agreement provides a location for the raw water pump station, marine pipeline, and raw water pipeline for the Comox Valley's new water system. In lieu of receiving money for the property and rights-of-way, the Fish & Game Association will receive raw water from the pump station for their proposed hatchery project and fire protection system, as well as an emergency access point to their campground and boat launch area.
"Our plan is to produce 100,000 Coho annually once our hatchery is operational; half for the Trent River and half for the Puntledge River to provide sports fishing opportunities for the Comox Valley long into the future. Access to the cool water from the depths of the lake is crucial to this program," said Wayne White, chair of the Conservation Committee for Courtenay and District Fish & Game Protective Association.

The Fish & Game Association has been a long-term partner on the Comox Valley Water Treatment Project. The Fish & Game Association hosted CVRD water testing equipment on its property for over eight years, which has been critical in developing the specifications for the new water treatment plant. The CVRD has stated its pleasure in continuing this partnership by providing raw water to the new hatchery. After twenty years, the Fish & Game Association will assume responsibility for the cost of raw water and any maintenance or replacement of infrastructure required to supply the hatchery and fire hydrants with water.
"We are members of the Comox Valley community and are pleased to assist in the stewardship of the watershed while promoting conservation practices that will benefit the community," said Fred Bates, president, Courtenay and District Fish & Game Protective Association.
The CVRD Water Committee approved the agreement in principle in July 2018. The necessary legal agreement is now executed, which allows the CVRD to complete the necessary surveys to officially transfer the parcel of land and register the rights-of-ways.

Adam's Apple
Remotely Control Your OS 9 or OS X Mac
Adam Rosen - 2008.02.01
Remote control of your Macintosh allows you to access a remote (host) computer across a network or the Internet from a local (client) system. The screen of the shared host computer appears locally, and you use your mouse and keyboard to control the other system from afar. Historically there have been fewer options to accomplish this for Macs than PCs, but the situation has been improving steadily.
Part 1 of this covers general considerations and Apple-supported methods available for remote system control that will generally work on any version of Mac OS X (Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and Leopard). Part 2 addresses some commercial solutions that also support multiple OS versions, along with how to force-reboot a remote Mac. Part 3 looks at on new options provided by Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Apple Remote Desktop (ARD)
Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
Remote control capabilities vary by method used and include remote desktop control (screen sharing), file transfers, and system management (patches and updates). With any remote desktop method, access to the remote system is slower than when you are sitting in front of that computer. The method used, network bandwidth available, and types of traffic will determine the "sluggishness" factor.
Minimizing the amount of data you need to transmit for screen sharing will make the process run more quickly. Closing unnecessary windows on the remote system and using a flat single-color desktop (instead of a complicated picture or pattern) will speed up response. Patience is a must, but remember it's usually faster than traveling there!
Needs and realities often dictate your options. Some remote control methods work across different versions of the Mac OS (or cross-platform), while others require the same OS version on local and remote machines. Some methods require you to know the IP address of the remote system to connect and may require special firewall configurations, while others will work without any special settings or knowledge – usually!
It's often helpful to use two remote control methods simultaneously (if possible), especially if you're running a server or access is otherwise critical. Programs crash, network and Internet conditions vary, and you may find yourself locked out at a critical time. Sometimes method B works when method A doesn't; then you can fix method A or reboot the machine from afar.
Apple's native remote control solution is Apple Remote Desktop (ARD). ARD server software has been built into Mac OS X since 10.3 Panther and was available as an optional install for earlier versions of OS X. ARD provides the full gamut of remote system control: scalable screen sharing, file transfers to and from the remote systems, and remote software updating of individual machines and whole networks at a time. On a LAN, network admins with multiple Macs to manage will find this tool indispensable.
To enable an ARD host (server) in Panther and Tiger, go to System Preferences –> Sharing and turn on Apple Remote Desktop, then click Access Privileges and enable all desired services for one or more users. In Leopard you also enable ARD via System Preferences –> Sharing, but control capabilities have been split into separate Screen Sharing and Remote Management sections; click Options for choosing Remote Management services. ARD access from afar is via your host Mac's account password.
To control an ARD-shared host computer, you need to use the Apple Remote Desktop administrator software. Apple sells two versions, a 10-client version for $299 or an unlimited client version for $499. The client limit dictates how many remote systems you can manage simultaneously; most home users and small business will be fine with the 10-client version. Bonjour support is available to find systems on your local network, or you can add them by IP address.
Across the Internet you must know the IP address of the remote computer or network gateway to establish a connection; this requires either a static IP address on the remote end or the use of a dynamic DNS locator service (like DynDNS) to find your remote system in times of need. ARD requires forwarding TCP and UDP ports 3283 through firewalls. Traffic can be routed across VPNs if one is available.
ARD is a powerful tool, but power comes at a price. Fortunately for home and small business users there are other options.
VNC is an open source software effort to provide cross-platform remote screen sharing capabilities. Long an option for Windows, VNC support was spotty on Mac OS 9 but is solid on Mac OS X. It has become my primary method of controlling remote Macs and PCs from other Macs (and PCs) when static IP addresses are available.
The remote Mac needs to run a VNC server; starting with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger the built-in ARD software has included the option to use VNC for screen sharing. Go back to System Preferences –> Sharing –> Apple Remote Desktop (Tiger) or Screen Sharing (Leopard) and click the Access Privileges or Options button (as applicable). Enable Share Screen with VNC clients and use a strong password.
A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and can include numbers, upper-case and lower-case letters, and "special" characters (including punctuation, math symbols, currency signs, etc.). It should never be a dictionary word, your name or user ID, a number identified with you (birthday or anniversary, phone number, Social Security number, employee ID), or a sequence of keys on the keyboard (such as ASDFG). Never use password, secret, admin, myspace1, password1, or blink182 as a password (these are among the ten most common passwords and thus the easiest to guess), and avoid names of sports teams.
The most secure passwords are random, which makes them the most difficult to memorize and most likely to be written on a PostIt note on or near your monitor. The best password is both secure and memorable, such as AppleWorks6.2.4 (which the Microsoft password checker (Windows app) gives a "best" rating).
On pre-Tiger Macs or as an alternate option for all Macs, the free Vine VNC Server (for OS X and OS 9) and it's older precursor, OSXvnc, offer excellent VNC server packages with more options than Apple's built-in server. In my experience the Vine and OSXvnc packages are more stable and resilient than Apple's built-in server – I've had onboard VNC stop working many times and require a reboot to fix, while the standalone server rarely fails. I use Vine VNC Server on many of the business systems I support.
A VNC client viewer application is required to view your remote Mac on your local system. Apple did not provide a VNC viewer in Mac OS X until 10.5 Leopard (see Part 3 of this series), but the open source market came earlier to the rescue. Chicken of the VNC is a good free VNC viewer with a silly name, and it runs on Mac OS X 10.3 Panther through 10.5 Leopard.
For a step up, $30 will get you the Vine VNC Viewer; this software is faster and more stable than Chicken of the VNC, and it offers screen size scaling (invaluable when controlling a big screen from a small laptop) and clipboard sharing. Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard is required.
Both Vine and Chicken of the VNC will find local network systems using Bonjour. Across the Internet you will need to know the IP address of the remote computer or use a dynamic DNS locator service. VNC uses TCP port 5900 for control and, as with ARD, requires port forwarding through firewalls and routers. VNC works fine across VPNs.
VNC provides screen sharing capabilities without file transfers. To work around this limitation you can use a network and/or Internet-accessible resource that both systems can reach: an FTP server, a shared Mac disk using AFP (AppleShare), a shared Windows volume using SMB, or a webserver with upload/download capability. Post the software or document from one system and grab it from the other via your shared disk or server.

Insights on the security and privacy of healthcare information.
A Look at Calif. Breach Report
AG's Review Highlights Where, Why Breaches Occurred Marianne Kolbasuk McGee (HealthInfoSec) • July 8, 2013
A new breach report by the California attorney general's office re-confirms an ongoing problem.
The major culprit in the 131 breaches that affected 2.5 million total individuals in the state last year was unencrypted data. And lost or stolen unencrypted devices has been a major problem in the healthcare arena throughout the United States for years.
Physical breaches that involved lost and stolen unencrypted devices tended to be larger and affected more people on average.
In 2012, companies and state agencies in California were subject for the first time to a law requiring the reporting to the state's attorney general's office any breach involving more than 500 Californians. Although not mandated by the state, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris recently issued the state's first public report detailing those breaches.
"Data breaches are a serious threat to individuals' privacy, finances and even personal security," Harris said in a statement announcing the report. "Companies and government agencies must do more to protect people by protecting data.
"First, companies should encrypt digital personal information when moving or sending it out of their secure network," Harris said. "In 2012, encryption would have prevented reporting companies and agencies from putting over 1.4 million Californians at risk."
Of course, California isn't the only place where breaches involving unencrypted data are a problem. Month after month for the past few years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' infamous "wall of shame" of breaches has been dominated by incidents involving unencrypted data, and most often mobile devices.
While only 27 percent of California's 2012 breaches - 36 in total - involved unencrypted data, those incidents were responsible for impacting more than half of the people affected, or 1.4 million individuals. Those incidents include breaches that involved lost or stolen devices, as well as misdirected e-mail that contained unencrypted personal data.
But it's the "physical" breaches that involved lost and stolen unencrypted devices that tended to be larger and affected more people on average, according to the report.
"Breaches caused by a failure to protect physical information assets affected 40,223 people on average, nearly three times the 15,656 affected in an average intrusion," the report says.
In fact, two of the five largest breaches were in this "physical" unencrypted category. We're talking about the California Department of Social Services reporting in March 2012 a lost computer storage device containing information on 845,000 parents, children, and caregivers, as well as a May 2012 breach at Emory Healthcare, which reported missing storage disks containing financial and medical information on 318,000 patients, including Californians.
Other health-related entities reporting breaches in 2012, according to the California report, included Apria Healthcare, California Department of Health Care Services, Kaiser Permanente, L.A. Care Health Plan; St. Therese Medical Group and Stanford Hospital & Clinics and School of Medicine.
Stanford's incident in August 2012, which affected 2,500 patients, involved the theft of an unencrypted computer from a physician's locked office. But that's not the only unencrypted data breach that Stanford's affiliated medical units have had over the last several years. Those other incidents include two in 2013, also involving unencrypted devices.
In fairness, Stanford appears to be learning from the mishaps. The organization has an aggressive program under way to ramp up security and privacy efforts in a number of areas, including encryption, says Bill Lazarus, information security officer at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (see: Fewer Health Breaches, But Same Culprit).
The good news for healthcare providers is that while they were involved in a few of California's larger breaches last year, they weren't responsible for the largest number of incidents. In fact, the retail industry led the pack, with 34 breaches, or 26 percent of the total. Next was finance and insurance with 30 breaches, or 23 percent. Healthcare came in third, with 19 incidents representing 15 percent of the total.
Rounding out the remaining incidents were 11 breaches in education, and 10 breaches in government, for 8 percent each. Meanwhile, professional services had 7 incidents, or 5 percent of the total. All other sectors combined accounted for 20 breaches, or 15 percent of the total.
The lesson from this report? Healthcare entities in California and elsewhere must be aware: If you haven't found a good enough argument to get moving on your encryption programs, there are at least 1.5 million good reasons to do that soon. Under the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, HIPAA non-compliance penalties rise to a maximum of $1.5 million per violation. The compliance deadline for the rule is Sept. 23 - just over two months from now.
It seems California state enforcement and regulations related to encryption could be getting tougher soon too, by the sound of the AG's report:
"The Attorney General's Office will make it an enforcement priority to investigate breaches involving unencrypted personal information, and encourages our allied law enforcement agencies to similarly prioritize these investigations," the report says. "We also recommend enacting a law to require the use of encryption to protect personal information on portable devices and media and in e-mail."
So, really, it doesn't matter what state you're located in; healthcare entities everywhere need to make encryption a top priority if they can't justify another sound way to prevent data breaches, especially those involving mobile gear.
Let this 2012 report be a fair warning about how to keep your organization's name out of 2013's breach totals.

Illinois Wesleyan Again Named A Best Value by Kiplinger's
BLOOMINGTON, Ill.—Illinois Wesleyan moved to 37th in the Kiplinger's Personal Finance 2008 listing of the top-50 best values in private liberal arts colleges. Kiplinger's ranking combines the quality of a school's education with its cost to come up with its value rating.
"Rankings may or may not be a true measure of any institution, but what's nice to be considered in any of the 'best value' lists that are put together is this is based on a combination of the quality of the education and the average cost per student," said Illinois Wesleyan Dean of Admissions Tony Bankston.
The annual private school rankings appear in Kiplinger's April 2008 issue—on newsstands Tuesday, March 11—and online at: www.kiplinger.com/money/collegevalues. Kiplinger ranks 100 private institutions, with 50 being large private universities and 50 small private liberal arts colleges, like Illinois Wesleyan. These best values are selected from a pool of more than 1,000 private institutions. Each is ranked according to academic quality and affordability—with quality accounting for two-thirds of the total. Rankings, methodology and other specifics are available at: www.kiplinger.com/tools/privatecolleges/.
Kiplinger's editor Fred Frailey said, "Families fearing that private education is out of their financial reach should know that there are some outstanding deals to be had. Our list showcases a range of schools with strong academics, generous financial-aid practices and, in some cases, a decent price to begin with. You can receive a top-notch education without breaking the bank."

The RoboCup World Championship schedule is uncertain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Falcons are optimistic that there will be a RoboCup World Championship eventually. Obviously, we want to be ready to roll when it happens.
New platform with next-gen motion
The Falcons team has been working hard on a new platform which allows for a big improvement for motion. The metal and electronics are ready. The firmware and software are almost finished. The team is eager to integrate the software with the hardware in the near future and watch the system come alive for the first time.
The new hardware consists of a new frame, a new baseplate, new ballhandlers with new motors and new sensors, new omniwheels with new drive motors and new motion boards.
The shooter box has lower priority. Nevertheless, the hardware team is following the coil gun implementation of Robot Club Toulon with great interest.
Sustaining the current platform
Our current platform has its limits, but those have not been reached yet. There is still some room for improvement today. The software team has improved the motion tuning of the current platform.
Platform-independent software improvements
The software has been now prepared for the future after upgrading all robots and development laptops to Ubuntu 20.04. This was quite an undertaking, because it required the completion of the ROS to RtDB migration and it required a migration to new software build infrastructure.
The vision team is taking big steps with a machine learning based approach to identify objects. The intermediate results look good, but the framerate is still too low. The team is now working on cranking up the FPS.
The software team has been collaborating with VDL RobotSports to test and improve the mixed team protocol.
The software team has ported the teamplay (tactics) engine onto the open source libraries BehaviorTree.CPP and Groot for improved maintainability of behavior trees. Also the team experimented with decision making based on machine learning in a high-speed simulation environment.
The long road to Bordeaux
The RoboCup World Championship in Bordeaux has been postponed to June 2021. There is no RoboCup World Championship in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This news hit us hard, because the World Championship has always been our most important milestone. The Falcons usually book an enormous amount of progress in the months before this milestone. Despite the absence of this milestone in 2020, the Falcons have been continuing some impressive robot developments behind the scenes. In this article, we show our progress since Sydney 2019 and we provide an outlook to Bordeaux 2021.
The hardware team is busy with redesigning the frame and the base plate. This allows for next-gen motion and better accessibility of components. Currently, the frame is being milled and all driving components have been finished. Also the ball handlers and the shooter box are being redesigned. A ball handler prototype is ready and the shooter box is in the concept phase.
The plan for the near future is to assemble a prototype robot and integrate all next-gen motion hardware into this prototype, such that the prototype can be tested, before volume production is started. Also the plan for the near future is to finish the shooter box design and produce a prototype.
The software team is busy with infrastructural and platform improvements. The ROS to RtDB migration is being finalized. The build infrastructure has been migrated from rosmake to cmake and the Jenkins pipeline has been completely redesigned. The software has been prepared for an upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 for all robots and development laptops. There is a lot of progress in the area of hardware-software interfacing for next-gen motion. Also functional improvements have been made to the path planning component, the ball intercept routine and the dribbling/positioning routine.
The plan for the near future is to test all the software improvements on real robots and to upgrade all robots and development laptops to Ubuntu 20.04.
Looking back at the Portugese Open
At the end of April the yearly "Portugese Open" Robotica kicked off in Porto. The ASML Falcons soccer robots participated in the Middle Size League competition. Unofficially, this tournament is considered the European Championship. Competing teams included the current World Champion Tech United, and the runner up Cambada.
The Falcons arrived with a team of 10 people, and no less than 7 robots: next to the Keeper with a new, actuated frame, the four normal field players and substitute robot, for the first time a robot based on our new motion platform was part of the team.

Photograph, World War One, Western Front (1914-1918), 1917.
Messines Ridge, high ground near the Ypres Salient, was captured on 7 June 1917 in a well co-ordinated assault. It began with a week-long artillery barrage. Allied intelligence, including captured maps, had provided the gunners with up-to-date plans of where German artillery positions were and by the time of the infantry attack around 90 per cent of German artillery guns in and around Messines had been knocked out.
As the barrage lifted the German defenders moved into their front line trenches to await the usual infantry assault, but this time the British detonated several explosive mines that had been dug underneath the German lines. Thousands of Germans were killed and many more left disorientated. In the immediate aftermath of the explosions, infantry from three corps attacked covered by an artillery rolling barrage. Within a few hours all their objectives had been taken.

*We don't rebind large runs of books . . . but we'll be happy to refer you to someone who can.
*We don't do page edge gilding and logos. We're always expanding our options, but aren't set up for this at present.
*We don't do zippers. These are best done when a Bible is new. Zippers done poorly are destructive.
*We cannot duplicate by hand what was done by computers and high tech machines that made thousands of copies at the same time.
*We do not do creative work on books that would compromise our convictions.
See our links page for referrals to reputable companies who do some of the above.
All our bookbinding is done by hand with T.L.C.–no machines, no elves. We believe you will be pleased with the results.

We will be practising the 2nd , 3rd and 4th steps in Kudhitametti today. Can you figure them out yourselveslooking at the pictures? Did you give it a try? Ok If you didn't here are the explanations.
Thai -he: Turn back straight with the right hand brought back in katakamukham.
After completing the right, repeat the movement to the left twice for 2 sets of Thai- ha-Thai-he.
Step 4: This step is similar to the the previous step 3, but here both the hands move in unison.
Now lets try practicing these steps with the audio.
