Love it Jean, grand idea!
LOL no time like the present - go for it Madeleine!
I will, really soon!!! I promise!!
Looking forwards to reading your post about Shivon!
We'll hold you to that!!!!!!!!! Shivon is feeling VERY deprived! Poor gal, no profile, how embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL you should feel very ashamed, no click/treat for you!!!!!!!!!!
Please create one thread in this forum for each of your dog. Try to name the thread as: DOG'S NAME - BREED if at all possible.
- And anything else you'd like us to know!
You are able to edit your post anytime that you want, so feel free to come back often to edit your dog's thread/profile.
Taught your dog a new trick? Then don't forget to update your dog's trick list.
Likes cheese and dog food.
Has a toy we call the Bird.
Bear can sit, come, lie down, roll over, play dead, beg, fetch and fetch the leash.
Likes to dig a lot and sometimes gets out.
Very obedient. Likes to please me. He knows when he is in trouble and learns from it.
Very sweet. Has a good tolorence of little kids.
Has a bone, a ball and a kong.
Buddy can come, sit, and we are working on lying down.
Likes to puppy bite and beat up Bear.
Very sweet and adorable. Has a short attention span.
I'm 19 months old, male.
I loves all type of food but i have some skin reactions sometimes so my owner keeps me on specialized food and treats.
I don't know that much tricks. Not really my fault but i'm willing to learn.
I love every chew toys available and my kong.
My owner says i love the cats too much. What i love to do is grab a kitty, bring it in my cage and wash it. I don't do anything wrong. I just want to make sure it's clean.
I have all kinds of problems but less than 4 months ago. Again not my fault. I wasn't well socialized b my first owner. He wanted me to become a fighting dog. I wasn't mean enough so he wanted to get rid of me. Someone got me out of there, and here I am. At first, i was scared of cars, people, umbrellas, wind, rain, big stuff on the side of streets lime furniture, garbage cans, anything that was strange looking to me. She had to hold me tight so I run away. I pulled a lot on the leash. Nobody ever told me how to walk on leash.
I'm a very nice dog that loves to be hug and ti cuddle with my owner in bed. Just love kids.
I don't know that much tricks but I know the basics.
I had the bad habit to chase the cats. I finally understood that they were as important as me to my owner. But as for the stray, that's another story.
I have a tendency to be dominant with small dogs I don't know. At the dog park, I often have time out to calm down, and on walk I want to go see them. On walk I overreact sometimes when Buddha starts playing with the leash and then I get all excited. With the cold weather and the snow, I'm walked with Buddha but I thinking my owner will try walking us one by one when the weather will be more clement.
I'm good with children. I love them.
LOL We'll hold you to it, it's in black and white now!!!!!!!!

Would it surprise anyone that Vincent Harris, a Texas-based political consultant who helped the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party (AfD) achieve 12 percent of the vote and 94 seats in the Bundestag in the recent German election, has also consulted for the campaigns of US Senator Ted Cruz, (briefly) Donald Trump– and Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party in Israel.
Anyone with an interest in Israeli politics should watch this report by Israel's Channel 2 about how Netanyahu and Likud won their victory in the 2015 election largely through a social media campaign of anti-Arab fear-mongering.
But like many other far-right anti-immigrant parties in Europe, AfD claims to be a great friend of Israel.
As with other such parties, I suspect this has less to do with any love or respect for the Jewish people than it does with a belief that Israel is a bulwark against the Arabs and other Middle Eastern types whom they see as a threat to German identity.
Interestingly, while the website of Harris's consulting group proudly features its work for Likud (and the American Jewish Committee), as well as a number of Republican candidates and US business interests, it does not mention the work for AfD.
However it did retweet a link to an article about its work for the German party.

A series of gales in the first half of the month reduced opportunities for getting out and about but pushed large numbers of gulls inshore to roost between Ainsdale and Birkdale. On 13th, while studying a flock on Ainsdale beach from the car, I found several of the Scandinavian sub-species of both the Lesser Black-backed and Herring Gull. There was also a large dark-mantled, pink-legged Herring Gull type that I couldn't immediately identify. Photographs were widely circulated, the general consensus being that it was probably a hybrid between Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gull, rather than an unlikely Vega Gull from eastern Siberia. It certainly caused me a lot of head-scratching.
Although it was a relatively damp month, a visit to Cabin Hill National Nature Reserve hoping to find wintering Snipe was disappointing. I counted only seven in the big slack which was almost entirely dry, the water-table being at least 30cm down on the normal winter level. About 55 Herdwick sheep and five Shetland Cattle were doing a great job grazing off the coarse vegetation. A primitive-breed, the Shetlands also love to browse large Grey Willow bushes, many showing signs of their activity, though they hadn't touched the rare willow hybrid Salix× doniana, its bright red stems standing out vividly in the gloom.
Cattle are also being used for conservation grazing on Ainsdale Sandhills Local Nature Reserve. I went to see how the 15-strong herd of young Shorthorns and Belted Galloways are getting on. They are certainly having the desired effect, opening up the vegetation in the slacks and even creating small areas of bare ground on dune crests. These placid beasts largely ignored me, though to avoid any possible disturbance, I used a long lens to photograph them.
Calmer weather towards the month's end saw me at Marshside, trying unsuccessfully to spot two Marsh Harriers reported on the saltmarsh. A Great White Egret was showing far out on the marsh, while a Sparrowhawk dashed past me. In front of the main hide, the long-staying Ross's Goose, now in adult plumage, competed for my attention with a close-range Little Grebe. Then, a hulking Greater Black-backed Gull began to harass Wigeon on the inner marsh, their spectacular wheeling flocks flashing black and white in the low sun.
Back home, I was much entertained during the month by a flock of up to 15 cheerful House Sparrows coming to food just outside my lounge window. Once abundant, this charming bird declined by about 70% between 1977 and 2008, though populations seem to have levelled off since 2009. The reasons for their decline are complex but seem to include loss of nest sites and a shortage of insects to feed the young.
Purchasers of the otherwise excellent "fully revised and updated" edition of the Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Great Britain & Ireland by Brooks and Cham will find some dramatic changes in distribution since the book first appeared 17 years ago. Many of these are well established, with new arrivals in the country and other species spreading north, probably as a result of climate change. However, readers may be surprised to see that, according to the maps, Beautiful Demoiselle and Hairy Hawker are now found across a broad swathe of central Lancashire. Of course, this is complete nonsense! As confirmed by the regional recorder, Steve White, there have only been two acceptable records of Beautiful Demoiselle in Lancashire, both extra-limital vagrants, while Hairy Hawker has never been confirmed in the county. This problem has arisen because the national Dragonfly Atlas, published in May, included unsubstantiated claims of both these species in Lancashire. They have simply been copied into the new field guide, showing how easy it is for incorrect information to be enshrined in the literature. Hopefully, the new Lancashire Atlas, to be published later this year, will correct these mistakes.

Why are experts inferior to algorithms? This is the question posed by Daniel Kahneman in his influential book Thinking Fast and Slow. Kahneman argues that in many cases mechanical procedures provide better decisions than human experts, a view that ostensibly challenges the tenets of philosophical hermeneutics. The hermeneutical thesis is that expert judgement involves taking a whole situation into account. It's a very human process that can't be reduced to method.
The book provides a humbling account of how often experts seem to get it wrong. More precisely, an expert prescribing a course of medical treatment, appointing someone to a job, awarding a music prize, or deciding how to invest money, on average performs no better than when someone with moderate expertise blindly follows a procedure.
You can assess success in terms of whether and how soon the patient recovers, the new recruit goes on to be promoted, the prizewinner produces a series of hits, or the investment yields a return.
The procedure adopted of course is designed from a base of expertise, but once formulated can be trusted to perform at least as well, often better statistically, and with much less cost, than relying on case-by-case judgements made by individuals or teams of experts.
According to Kahneman, supporters of expertise claim that in dealing with individual cases they are treating the interpretive situation holistically, taking account of the whole person or situation under investigation, and looking for marginal clues that would go unnoticed by non-experts or algorithms.
For Kahneman such holistic talk simply acquiesces to the dictates of "fast thinking," that crucial but error-prone human capacity to make rapid judgements — often described as "intuition." He argues that claims to holistic expertise obscure several limitations of human judgement.
Here are some of the ways Kahneman thinks fast thinking lets us down.
Fast thinking is not very effective in unfamiliar circumstances.
We humans have a built-in tendency to be overconfident about the information we have to hand or need in making a judgement.
In complicated and difficult situations we default to fast thinking mode and confidently jump to conclusions on the slimmest of evidence, i.e. we treat complex problems as if they are simple problems.
We are prone to the halo effect, e.g. if someone is physically attractive, in the absence of other information, we'll assume they are also good at their job.
When taking decisions most of us are biased to be optimistic, e.g. in setting up a business we'll ignore the statistics indicating just how low the chances of success are.
The main setting in which the dispute between the exercise of holistic case-by-case expertise and a more algorithmic approach is in clinical reasoning as explained in a seminal book by psychologist Paul E. Meehl. Should a doctor predict a patient's recovery on the basis of the doctor's own optimistic assessment or recall the statistical likelihood of recovery? Kahneman, following Meehl, says you should put more trust in statistics and mathematical statements about probabilities than in the "holistic" judgement of a clinician.
Kahneman's position is engaging, with many helpful insights about the foibles of human nature, but the limitations of his argument are fairly obvious.
People don't necessarily want or need the best decision. They want accountability, which often involves consensus. Looked at cynically, people want to know who to blame when things go wrong. Procedures are a great way of avoiding accountability.
Decisions that are sub optimal for an individual may be beneficial for the community at large. It's good that would-be entrepreneurs exist, even if most of them fail. Without the risk-takers and failures we wouldn't have those who succeed and innovate. As well as entrepreneurship perhaps we should have courses in how to deal with failure in business, as statistically that's what most entrepreneurs specialise in.
We are sociable creatures. Not only do we make decisions collectively, but meetings, dialogues between clinicians and patients, employers and prospective employees, amongst recruiters, and on judging panels are crucial for the life of any community, including among experts. I sometimes think that the outcome of a meeting is less important than the fact that people came together and exchanged views, feel involved in the process, and sign up to an outcome even if they disagree with it, or the decision turns out to be sub optimal. Solidarity trumps optimal decision making.
Outcomes are not simply the result of a lone decision. A selection panel may fail to recruit the "best" candidate for a job, but it's sometimes the work environment that determines how successful the new recruit turns out to be. Entrepreneurial decisions are also multi-faceted involving a cascade of sound and unsound decisions. In any case, how can we ever be so sure about what constitutes a successful outcome?
According to Kahneman, when confronted with a difficult question we convert it into something simpler with which we are familiar, and answer that question: e.g. Q: Is David Cameron an effective leader? A: Well he sets a good example by riding a bike. A wicked problem (questioning a politician's performance) gets converted to a tame problem (something we can see and identify with). But Kahneman's book is subject to the same accusation. It is full of highly important, but tame, decision making problems, for which we have little difficulty recognising the quality of an outcome: a cure, a promotion, a hit song, a higher profit. Most problems are wicked, and not like that.

Of course giving priority to algorithms succumbs to the criticisms advance by phenomenologists and critical theorists against the insidious nature of calculative reason: it marginalises whatever is not susceptible to calculation, it bureaucratises knowledge, supports acquisition and conspicuous consumption as indicators of success, and becomes a tool used by the powerful to subjugate the weak.
Note that Kahneman's idea of algorithms is loose. Algorithms are human-designed simple heuristics. For example he recommends that in deciding candidates for a job you could do worse than formulate a list of requirements, score each candidate against the requirements and pick the candidate with the highest score. Once decided then stick rigorously to the procedure. It's a human process, but less prone to being swayed by extraneous factors, such as appearance, mannerisms, and performance under formal interview conditions.
In the preface to the 1996 reprinting of his book, Meehl is at pains to point out that he's not saying as his critics assert that "objective psychological tests predict better than clinical interviews" (p.ii). It seems the critics cannot get it quite right. There might be another heuristic in play here about demanding greater precision from your critics than you do from your own presentation of the case.

I wonder if you know that Daniel Kahneman is sometimes known as Mr Treisman because he is married to the psychologist Anne Treisman responsible for the "Feature Integration Theory" of attention.
That�s handy to know, and he was the one who got the Nobel Prize. Thanks for the reference.


– Do you remember Chris Waskevich? I do. Not the person, but the name. Somehow I raced through the 90's then the '00's and never saw Christian Vande Velde filed under 'Chicago pro success story.' But Chris Waskevich? He seemed to race everywhere in America and the gnarlier the slugfest, the better his results. I couldn't pick him out of a lineup of two people, but I can tell you who he raced for: Turin. Not the ancient Italian city, but the Chicago bike shop whose sponsorship embodied a whole city no less than GS Mengoni did New York. Where have you gone, Chris Waskevich, a city turns it's lonely eyes to you?
– More Turin here. Watch it and forget about the sweet, innocent youth of Jim Ochowicz and Mike Neel. Instead hold your breath until about 6:20. Dig the glimpse of Gerald Ford-era Chicago. Title it 'Scenes of Metropolitan Leprosy' and thank God it wasn't you racing in the 70's and thank God again if you weren't yet alive. This isn't the Chicago of Wilco pop and Intelligentsia coffee. It's Eastern Bloc. It's the near end of civilization.
– Another pro I couldn't ID is Ken Hanson of Optum-Kelly Benefits. He won the 2012 US Pro Criterium Championships which means he got a stars and stripes jersey. But I regret to inform him that since the race is now held in Grand Rapids, Michigan after its 100-year long stint in Downers Grove the victory is hollow. The only thing that redeemed the sketchy prestige of the designation of 'pro crit champion' (does any other country hold such a race? Does Belgium have a single-day Kermesse championship?) was the pilgrimage to the holy Chicago suburb of Downers Grove itself.
– I don't know whether Wilmette counts as Chicago or not. But the somewhat-recently-opened shop Velosmith is clearly the city's promised land for unordinary brands, extraordinary service, and good-humored roadie pretense. If BKW could have a physical manifestation, Velosmith would be it.
– It's late November. Isn't it track season? Do Six Days still exist? Here's a nice history lesson.
– It's to be expected that the search for a new AWD wagon inevitably leads to SUV temptation. For anyone with a nose for Euro bikes, naturally the study of SUVs ends up at the Porsche Cayenne. It's a vehicle that arouses opinion as strong as Shimano v. Campagnolo, with some friends telling me 'sensational' and 'perfect', while others claim that driving one is culturally indistinguishable from leathered-up CPAs roaring through the 'burbs on Harleys.
A brief exploration of the Cayenne revealed two things to me. First, the E350 I covet has more cargo room. Then there's the subculture of Porsche 911 worship, a world that makes puddles of otherwise thoughtful men. The web-wide, tongue-tied praise for the 911 barrel-rolled my brain about what car I need. Victim to my own materialistic acrobatics, I spent a furious day this weekend immersing myself in an education on the wundercar of Stuttgart.
What amazes me the most isn't the car itself, but rather the universality of the lust for it. The absence of controversy about what car is best, that's what's most remarkable about the 911 (going under the presumption here, as many do, that Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys, etc. aren't so much cars as reflections of the people who own them.) The 911 appears to be the connoisseurs' car, the driver's car. Consensus like this exists about nada in the world of bikes. Certainly not about bicycles themselves. Not even about chamois cream. There's an irony that in the supreme realm of design-meeting-engineering, there is unity.
And just as I was about to make my first ever visit to a Porsche dealer I was stung by an inconvenient thought. It was a focused on bikes, not cars. As I've gotten older there's been one clear change in how I ride. Yes, I'll still pinball between cars in traffic. I'll still call aggravating drivers cunts and bang their windows and unzip my body through waves of pain to hold a wheel up a climb. But I've adopted absurd caution on descents. I don't know what worries me more: the presence or the lack of guardrails. A single case of speed wobble last year had me sell the bike and the wheels that spawned it. I've become a late-life expert in brake pad technology now that my practice isn't to tap or feather brakes but to grab fistfuls at every bend. With an attitude like that about high speed, what business do I have shopping for a 911 or its SUV sibling? None. And, like that, the fascination ended.

Here are the headquarters of Fabric Traders today, and we are looking a little busy! Bolts of fabric to unpack. Fabric as far as you can see. Orders to pick and send. We have been trading now for a month and have been overwhelmed with your support Australia! Thank-you!
See that little pile of pink cards on the table? They are $5 coupons. And today we would like to give everyone who reads this one for free. Just use code 5off at checkout.
Over the weekend it became apparent that "this" time of year has crept up and bit us once again. People seem to be walking a little faster. Kids are excited as they finish their last few days of school. The days are getting warmer and lasting longer. All this can sometimes lead us to feel a little tense. Short term remedy? Cut some blooms and light a candle. Doesn't take long. Looks fabulous. Feels lovely. Here is the result!
Do you know what oilcloth is? Many people don't. We get emails all the time asking what is this stuff ? So here is a brief description and some ideas we have sourced from from inspirational people.
What is oilcloth? Basically oilcloth is a vinyl that is supported with a woven cotton mesh underneath it. The pattern is on the top. It is made up of 91% PVC 6% polyester and 3% cotton. Oilcloth will not fray! Make a tablecloth in minutes using decorative scissors like pinking shears.
Sewing with oilcloth? use a denim needle or a size 16 if you have one. Best to sew on the cotton (underneath) side if you can. There are so many things you can make with this fabric. I have included some examples here today. Anything from kids bibs and aprons to lunch bags and recovering chairs.
Do you know we have the largest range of oilcloth online in Australia?
And only $14.50/m....wait.....oh that's right we are taking 20% off all oilcloth until 2.12.11.
So get sewing and have a great weekend.
School Mascot Bernie visited Beach Vintage and learnt how to sew over the weekend.
We chronicled his lesson and added it to his journal. He left one happy bear.
This year we are not going to use tacky Santa Claus napkins from the two dollar store!
Here's what we have made from some lovely heavy weighted cotton fabric for the Christmas table setting.
All we did was make a template 46cm x 46cm and cut out the napkins. A simple over locked and then hemmed edge and we are done.
So mum, this year you can concentrate on the things that we love about you. Like making roast chicken!
This may sound absurd but we ran like kids at christmas when we saw the UPS truck pull up on Monday afternoon. He had lots of new surprises for us! These are our absolute favourites of the bunch. New arrival cottons at Fabric Traders. You can click on each image to view details. Wait to see what we have made with Bisbee Bandana! Will show you Friday.
A vintage trunk makes a great side table at home today. This one was picked up at a local antique centre. Plonk all your favourite things on top.
And fresh roses are finally coming back in the Beach Vintage Garden.
Every now again....actually every more so often. Maybe just all the time!
Yes, new cushions for the sofa are always in order.
With all these new fabrics we have been busy creating new cushions.
It's easy to change the look around your place.
Here's what you can see.
Use a colourful sheet and tuck it all around the base seat (this yellow striped one was found at a charity shop for a few dollars).
Pink and White fabric found here and we used some old rectangle inserts.
Black and White Zig Zag fabric found here.
Turquoise Lattice fabric found here.
Always mismatch colours around the place and most important......have fun!
20% off ALL children's fabrics for 4 days only.
Use coupon: kid20 at checkout.
Now this is easy. Want to win a grab bag of fabric? What is a grab bag ? It's a bag of 6 random fabrics in different sizes. Here is the box we will be picking them from. Kind of like a mystery fabric surprise! The fabrics are beautiful, not just stuff we can't sell!
Write a post about why you like it, with a link to the fabric, or a link to the website homepage (http://www.fabrictraders.com.au).
But be quick, it is only limited to the first 50 people to blog!
Once this is done, email us with your blog URL, name and postal address. Once confirmed we will send you the fabric pack.
To go outside and pick your own produce. Now that's lucky. Look at these tomatoes. Picked from the Beach Vintage Garden over the weekend. Oh, and that's a new dress too. The colours go well together don't you think?
Picked up these chairs from Ebay recently. $15 the pair. And although the style was perfect, the fabric on the seats was not. Having a mix of kids and dogs around the table frequently it was time to recover them in something more "practical".
Seats were removed by unscrewing joins underneath.
Oilcloth was the decided fabric choice for the recover. Yes, just wipe it down with a damp cloth when the spaghetti sauce falls down on it.
Seat bases were laid down on top of the fabric and 2 pieces were cut. Leaving enough room around all the edges for the recover.
Using a staple gun pull the sides up and staple securely all around. Use good tension.
Re attach the seat bases.
This pattern also comes in Blue and Red.
20% off this weekend on ALL oilcoth. Use coupon oil20.
Don't you just love a house that actually feels like a home ? Take a look at what Pam from Bayside Rose has created. A beautiful space for herself and her family, Pam really has the knack of pulling things together. Last week she hosted lunch and it was fabulous to see up close all of her talents & wonderful treasures. Sorry for taking so many pictures Pam. Don't you just love the mismatched cushions, sofas covered in fabric, a simple tablecloth and all the details. Its doesn't take much, just a little thought and inspiration.

Q: Running Screen after switching users After switching users (with su) I cannot run screen:
% screen -L
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/5'.

How can I run screen after switching users?

A: The TTY (terminal) you are using is owned by the initial user you log in as, and not the user you su to.
Because screen manipulates the TTY directly, it needs write access to the device node.
You should allow the user you su to to modify the device node somehow.
You can change the ownership to a common group:
# chgrp [group] $(tty)
# chmod 0660 $(tty)

Or (if you trust every other user on the system), you can make it world read/writeable:
# chmod 0666 $(tty)

Note that on a multi-user system, the last command can be extremely dangerous, as anyone can read and write to your TTY.

A: Thanks everyone, but this answer has better solution:
https://serverfault.com/questions/475287/gnu-screen-cannot-open-your-terminal-dev-pts-3-please-check
This peculiar problem happens bc on some high-security servers I cannot log in as root or some other user, so I have to do multiple "su - ..." sometimes. Authorizing root for multiuser screen session seems like better solution to me in this context.

UCLA Professor Earns NSF Award for Rapid Electronics 3D Printing
Xiaoyu Zheng, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of California Los Angeles' (UCLA) Samueli School of Engineering, has obtained a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award which will aid him in developing new rapid 3D printing processes for electronic components.
The award, which is the NSF's highest honor for faculty members in the early stages of their careers, includes a five-year $525,000 grant to support Zheng's research group. He joins more than 20 UCLA Samueli faculty members who have received an NSF CAREER award since 2016.

3D printing at UCLA Samueli
Zheng leads the Additive Manufacturing and Metamaterials Laboratory at UCLA Samueli and has won several other awards in the past from the likes of the US Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the US Air Force, and the US Office of Naval Research.
UCLA Samueli has conducted years of pioneering research into 3D printing materials and technologies, having previously applied its findings to help protect NFL players from head trauma injuries with 3D printed lattices, and create an artificial "brain" that could teach artificially intelligent (AI) products such as autonomous vehicles to perceive the world around them. In 2019, UCLA Samueli was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the NSF to develop environmentally-friendly concrete suitable for 3D printing, and has since investigated ways to enhance the strength of hydrogels that could be used to create artificial tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Last year, a group of Samueli researchers, including Zheng, devised a means of producing 3D printed electronics that was five times quicker than conventional means. The team's two-step method involved lining 3D printed shapes with electrostatic charges, and dipping them repeatably in resin mixed with electronically conductive materials until a 3D structure was formed.

New 3D printing processes for electronics
Zheng's research involves developing new rapid 3D printing processes that leverage multiple materials including metals, plastics and ceramics for the production of complex microstructures with a wide array of functions.
Armed with the CAREER award grant, Zheng and his research group will explore new additive manufacturing processes capable of producing multi-material components for robots that contain electronic and structural materials. Additionally, the technology developed through the research could potentially be applied to various applications within the energy, healthcare, aerospace, and automotive sectors.
To develop a new generation of 3D printing processes, Zheng's research group draws knowledge from mechanics, optics, and material science to create multi-functional materials and all-in-one devices with controlled topologies, compositions, and multi-scale features. Zheng's primary focus is to ensure the newly developed micro and nano 3D printing processes are both high-volume and scalable.
Zheng's research also aims to capitalize on the unique benefits of micro and nano-architectures to create new materials, called meta-materials, that have ordered hierarchies and possess multi-functional properties not found in conventional materials.

Additive manufacturing and electronics
Although the 3D printing of electronics still has a long way to go when compared to other 3D printing applications, new techniques and applications of the technology are being continually developed.
One early leader in the sector is Optomec with its Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) process, a technique for spraying metal-based inks that shows great promise within the consumer electronics market. The firm recently released its latest electronics 3D printer, the Aerosol Jet HD2, capable of fabricating circuit boards with better high-frequency performance for signal relaying or automotive radar applications.
Researchers based at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) recently developed a new low-cost AJP 3D printing system capable of fabricating hybrid electronic devices, in an attempt to make the technology more accessible.
Since its proprietary technology launched back in 2014, industrial 3D printer OEM Nano Dimension has built a name for itself in the world of additively manufactured electronics (AME). The company has continued to refine its flagship DragonFly LDM 3D printer and has recently increased its 3D printing of high-performance electronic devices (Hi-PEDs).
Elsewhere, 3D printer manufacturer Azul 3D has partnered with electronics firm DuPont, to introduce "next-generation 3D printing technologies" into the electronic materials industry, University of Nottingham researchers made a breakthrough in the 3D printing of graphene for new optoelectronic devices, and electronics 3D printing firm Neotech AMT is working to develop an AI-driven quality assurance system for 3D printed electronics.

Expo opens students' eyes to emergency services careers
By Peter Elacqua
High school students from across Monmouth County recently learned what a career in emergency medical services would have in store for them.
The Freehold First Aid and Emergency Squad held its first Disaster Response Expo on Jan. 10. The expo was geared toward high school students who are part of first aid squad cadet programs and Police Explorer programs. About 90 students were in attendance. The event was organized by Freehold First Aid Squad Capt. Peter DeNicola.
Participants represented Freehold EMS, Holmdel EMS, the Englishtown-Manalapan First Aid Squad, the Howell First Aid and Rescue Squad, Bayshore EMS (Aberdeen and Matawan), the Keyport First Aid Squad, the Eatontown First Aid Squad, the Freehold Fire Department and the Freehold Township Independent Fire Company.
The event began with a tour of the Monmouth County Sheriff's Department, Freehold Township, as the cadets met Senior Public Safety Telecommunicator Dawn Dupre and Communications Supervisor Scott Nielson. The cadets toured the facility, met 911 dispatchers, and learned what the training for emergency dispatchers is like and how the communications center operates during disasters.
"Learning how our 911 calls are dispatched and what county resources get activated during an emergency was very interesting," Freehold First Aid and Emergency Squad Cadet Corps Capt. Sean Preston said. "We were able to see a different side of emergency services that we do not see when we are on the ambulance."
The cadets met Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden and learned about his experiences as a police officer, firefighter and paramedic.
The participants were then transported to Freehold Borough and given tours of emergency vehicles.
Representatives from the New Jersey Task Force One Urban Search and Rescue, New Jersey Emergency Medical Services Task Force, Army National Guard, Freehold Fire Department, Freehold Township Independent Fire Company, East Freehold Fire Company, Gordons Corner Fire Company, Monmouth-Ocean Hospital Service Corporation (MONOC) and the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office were in attendance at the expo.
The vehicles on scene were an Urban Search and Rescue Vehicle from the New Jersey State Police, a Mobile Simulation Lab and Mobile Intensive Care Unit from MONOC, a heavy rescue unit vehicle from the East Freehold Fire Company, a tower truck from the Freehold Township Independent Fire Company, a fire rehab unit from the Gordons Corner Fire Company, a Mass Care Response Unit from the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office and two vehicles from the National Guard.
Each vehicle had a representative who gave a tour of the vehicle and taught the participants how to use each piece of equipment.
"Our junior members are just beginning to explore the field of emergency services," DeNicola said. "Events like these not only have an educational component, but they also provide an opportunity for the next generation of first responders to get to know one another. I was only expecting about 50 to 60 students, so this definitely exceeded expectations. At the end of the day, it was worth it and we plan on doing more in the future.""
Subs were donated by Jersey Mike's and drinks were donated by Wegmans for lunch.


Las Vegas, NV - Series history was made Thursday evening in the Slots-O-Fun Grand Prix as Mark Walczak made a second half comeback to take the victory and become the IndySlotCar Series all-time win leader. Walczak wasted no time ascending the series winner list and with his second victory in as many races passed Phil Cianciola with win number 37 to top the list. The always statistically aware driver had the overall wins goal on his mind entering this season and knew history was made when he took the checkered flag. "I feel like I hit the jackpot," exclaimed Walczak in victory lane. "It's nice to get the record and knock Phil [Cianciola] down a spot."
The Slots-O-Fun Grand Prix at the Las Vegas' Stardust Speedway kicked off with a surprise as track owner RJ Foyt's driver Mike Kristof set fast time in qualifying and shocked the field by capturing his seventh career pole. The opening heat race exposed some of the desert tracks issues as problems in turn two affected both John Wiedemann and home town favorite Chris Spehert. Wiedemann was able to rally in the second half of the race to tie Everet Kamikawa at the finish line. Series officials and race marshalls were unable to determine the race winner and and the official results were postponed until the completion of heat racing. It was discovered later that "replacement" marshalls from New Jersey were used as a cost savings measure by the Stardust track.
The second heat race was won by TMWR driver Dean Strom and the third went to his teammate Walczak with Mike Fitzlaff in transfer contention scoring the same amount of laps as heat one competitors Wiedemann and Kamikawa. Polesitter Kristoff crashed out of his heat race, unable to capitalize on his qualifying speed. Officials decided that the three drivers vying for the heat one win and transfer position would race a short twelve lap qualifying session to determine who would race in the final. Kamikawa hit the track first and a quick spin in turn one hindered his time. Wiedemann was next and also spun in turn one but beat Kamikawa's overall time by fourteen hundredths of a second. Fitzlaff saved the best for last and turned in the quickest time sending himself and KV Racing teammate Wiedemann to the finals while a dejected Kamikawa finished fifth overall.
More drama ensued in the start of the feature as the outside lane had issues that warranted repair in the opening laps of the race. While the track issues were never fully repaired, the race went on. Fitzlaff paced the field in the opening half followed closely by Strom and then Walczak, about 10 laps back. Wiedemann fell quickly behind due to the track issues in the outside lane and would never be in contention. Following pitstops in the second half of the race, Walczak made his move. First he passed Fitzlaff, who was struggling in the outside lane, and then he set his sights on teammate Strom. While Walczak's crew seemed to hit the right setup for their driver, Strom struggled just enough to fall victim to Walczak's speed. Walczak took the lead and the checkers by a nine lap margin for his second victory of the season. "The car handled a hell of a lot better in the blue lane," said Walczak. "A big thanks goes to my crew for making the right changes during the pitstop. I'm just happy that my teammate and I could place one and two in this race."
With the Slots-O-Fun Grand Prix victory, Walczak vaults into the points lead as he chases his fifth Husarsbuilt trophy. Fitzlaff drops to second in the standings, fourteen points back, followed by Wiedemann and Strom. Matt Hayek jumped up two spots into the top five in the standings.
Mike Lack has opened a 23 point lead after opening the season with two straight wins, followed by his teammate John Weidemann, who is coming off a win at the West Bend Grand Prix. Meanwhile the points battle is tight from positions 3-6 which is covered by 2 points with Dean Strom holding a one point advantage over Ev Kamikawa, who is one point ahead of Dungeons & Dragon Racing teammates Matt Hayek and Mike Kristof.
Dean Strom has won two of the four events run at Stardust Speedway.
John Weidemann scored his first win of the season at the last race.
Mike has won two of the first three races of the season.
John Weidemann broke a tie with Mike Kristof with his pole position at the West Bend GP to move into 11th all-time for wins with 8.
Weidemann's heat win moved him into 13th all-time with 24.

With over 150 million users globally, Samsung's S Health application helps users to better manage their health and track their fitness progress. Now, with a new update that was released with the launch of Gear Fit2* earlier this month, S Health offers more features and functions to make exercise fun, and fitness goals more attainable.
To motivate users to be more active, S Health v.4.8 adds an element of competition to your fitness routine with Together.
First of all, the game-like concept of Steps challenges enables you to create a one-on-one match with your friend. Simply select a friend to challenge, select a step target, create a name for your challenge and send the invitation.
Compete to be the first to reach the set steps target, while monitoring your step count and your opponent's along the way. Falling behind? S Health alerts you as to how many "steps" you need to take the lead. The Steps challenges allow you to gain a more immediate sense of accomplishment, not to mention bragging rights.
Of course, you can monitor the status of all your challenges with your new Gear Fit2 from your wrist.
But the fun doesn't end there. With the Steps leaderboard function, you can also compare your own step counts with those of your friends, your age group or all S Health users around the world.
Once activated, the comprehensive Steps leaderboard provides data from the previous seven days, such as average step count, distance and calories burned in comparison to other users. Here you can check your rank and your competitors' step counts.
With the new S Health, you also have access to more comprehensive step count information. In addition to being able to monitor step count and distance walked data from each individual source—like your smartphone or wearable device—you can also estimate your total step count with the All steps option. Should you enable All steps, your total number of steps across all devices and select third-party apps will be displayed in the Steps Tracker and the S Health widget.
The S Health update also features a faster and simpler way to record various activity data. Now, with the Detect Workouts function, the app can automatically detect and log your running, cycling, walking and hiking sessions that occur for at least 10 minutes. Turning on the Auto Pause setting will also improve tracking accuracy, as it will recognize when you stop your exercise session.
Customizing the S Health dashboard has never been easier with the more organized Trackers management list, which is now arranged in two different sections.
Exercises are now listed separately from general health measurements such as weight and caffeine intake. From the Exercises list, you can select from more than 40 types of exercise that you'd like to manage, ranging from Hula-hooping to Push-ups to Yoga. With these added exercise options, you can customize the Trackers on the S Health dashboard based on your fitness preferences, and record individual workouts more accurately.
For a more generalized overview, the updated My page keeps track of your weekly activities by displaying a detailed weekly summary, rewards received, program history and a compilation of personal bests. Using this accumulated data, the app will suggest goals and targets to work towards in the future.
You can now also measure your heart rate quickly, wherever, whenever, without having to launch S Health. After activating the Quick Measure** feature, simply place a finger on the heart rate sensor and set the device facedown to complete the reading.
Heart rate information, along with other data such as blood pressure measurements and glucose levels can be exported as HTML, XLS and PDF files with a simple tap.
Not only can you track more types of exercise, and have fun while doing it, but the enhanced layout of the app also makes it easier to personalize and navigate the S Health dashboard. The pinch-zoom function can adjust the screen grid according to your preference, improving the overall user experience.
* Gear Fit2 pairs with smartphones running on Android OS 4.4 and higher with over 1.5GB RAM.
** Quick Measure operates with Android 6.0 when activated. Not compatible with Galaxy S5 and Alpha.
*** The latest update of S Health is compatible with the Galaxy S6, Note5 and S7.
All functionality features, specifications and other product information provided in this document including, but not limited to, the benefits, design, pricing, components, performance, availability and capabilities of the product are subject to change without notice or obligation.


We offer both standard Colorado and Deep Cup Colorado blades.
Perfect for slow to medium troll speeds. Excellent flash and vibration.
Colorado blades require a little less speed to operate efficiently, so this blade will start spinning easier and at slower speeds than the Indiana. The thumping action and vibration are better too. The right combination of leader length and speed will actually make the rig run a little higher than an Indiana combo.
See our Deep Cup variety as it increases water resistance, and therefore requires less speed than a standard Colorado blade to achieve rotation.


Nor the Earth is flat ... nor the physical reality is real.
A paradigm change is something that needs a lot of time.
This is so, because there is something so inert as a belief and for this reason it´s need generations to change the reality.
A good compass to guide us would listen to what they wanted us to say the great thinkers and scientists of humanity from the last century and today as important messages to understand our existence ... are obviated ...but my camera don´t.

Британские номерные знаки (в соответствии с системой нумерации 1983—2001 гг), в 2004 году получили название Регистрационные номерные знаки транспортных средств Великобритании — являются обязательными номерными знаками в Великобритании, и существуют с 1904.
По закону почти все транспортные средства, которые используются на общественных трассах, должны иметь регистрационные номерные знаки. Одним из исключений из этого правила являются официальные транспортные средства царствующего монарха.

Регулирующий законодательный акт 1903 «The Motor Car Act 1903», который вступил в силу 1 января 1904, требовал, чтобы весь автомобильный транспорт был включён в Государственный регистр автотранспортных средств и имел регистрационные номерные знаки. Этот акт был принят для того, чтобы автомобили легко можно было идентифицировать в случае аварии, либо в случаях нарушения закона.

Номерные знаки транспортных средств в Великобритании имеют прямоугольную либо квадратную форму, точно указанные разрешённые размеры таблички номерного знака и буквами, нанесёнными в соответствием с правилами.
В пределах Великобритании сейчас существует 2 типа системы нумерации и регистрации: один — для Великобритании, он назначается Агентством по лицензированию водителей и транспортных средств (Driver And Vehicle Licensing Agency, DVLA), и вторая система — для Северной Ирландии, назначается Транспортным агентством (Driver & Vehicle Agency, DVA), обе имеют одинаковый статус. Другие схемы, которые относятся к Великобритании, также перечислены ниже.

Цвета и размеры номерных знаков

На выпущенные сегодня номерные знаки нанесены чёрные буквенные знаки на белом светоотражающем фоне (для переднего номерного знака) или на жёлтом светоотражающем фоне (для заднего номерного знака). Такая же цветовая система действовала и для номеров образца 1983 -2001 годов.
На более старых английских номерных знаках были серые, белые или серебристые буквы на чёрном фоне. Этот стандарт номерных знаков перестали выпускать в 1972, и сейчас такие номерные знаки могут быть использованы только на автомобилях, выпущенных до 1 января 1973 г.

Передние номерные знаки имеют размеры 520 × 111 мм (20,5″ × 4⅜″). Задний номерной знак может быть 520 × 111 мм (стандартный), 285 × 203 мм (квадратная форма) или 533 × 152 мм (большой).

Мотоциклы ранее имели двусторонний номерной знак, прикреплённый к верхней точке грязезащитного щитка, он повторял контур колеса и был виден с обеих сторон. В 1975 году было введено требование об обязательном наличии переднего номерного знака, из-за большой опасности, которой подвергались пешеходы в случае аварии.

Транспортные средства, принадлежащие штату Британских ВС, используют номерные знаки чёрного цвета с белыми буквами.

Великобритания

Действующая система номерных знаков

Символы на номерных знаках
Действующая система номерных знаков Великобритании была введена в действие в 2001. Каждый номер (индексирование номерного знака) состоит из семи знаков. Слева направо знак состоит из следующих символов:

 Код региона area code (the local memory tag), состоящий из двух букв — первая указывает регион, в котором зарегистрировано транспортное средство, второе указывает код офиса регистрации. Буквы I, Q и Z не используются в данном коде;

 Двузначный идентификатор срока службы (Age Identifier), который меняется два раза в год, в марте и в сентябре. Этот код содержит в двух последних цифрах либо номер года, (например 05 для 2005), если он был присвоен в интервале с марта по август, либо, если регистрация проходила с сентября по февраль следующего года, другую цифру, отражающую номер года, но к ней будет прибавлено 50, (то есть для сентября 2005 будет стоять цифра 55)

 Произвольную последовательность из трёх знаков, индивидуальную для каждого автомобиля. Буквы I и Q исключены, как и сочетания букв, которые могут показаться обидными, включая иностранные языки.

Эта схема имеет три преимущества:
 Покупатель подержанного автомобиля может теоретически определить год первой регистрации автомобиля без необходимости проверять его дополнительно;

 В случае, если полиция будет расследовать несчастный случай, или преступление, связанного с данным транспортным средством, свидетели обычно вспомнят начальный шифр на щитке номеров; впоследствии будет проще сузить круг подозреваемых автомобилей до небольшого числа путём проверки по базе данных, без необходимости знать полный номер.
 В соответствии с этой схемой, номеров должно хватить для регистрации автомобилей до 2050 года.

Код области (Area code or Local memory tags)

Код области (Area code or Local memory tags) (до 2001 года)

Идентификаторы срока службы (Age identifiers)

Символика регистрации в пределах Европейского союза
Английские номерные знаки большей частью соответствуют Европейскому стандарту оформления номерных знаков, с черными знаками на белом или жёлтом фоне. Стандартное оформление также включает полоску синего цвета с левой стороны номерного знака с флагом Великобритании (до выхода Великобритании из ЕС - флагом ЕС) кодом страны — этот элемент (полоска) не является обязательным в Великобритании, и многие водители предпочитают не доплачивать за эту часть номерного знака. Автомобильный код Великобритании - GB, но законы разрешают использовать и другие аббревиатуры: UK, ENG, SCO, CYM или использовать надписи вместо них: United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, Scotland, Wales, Cymru (слово Уэльс по-валлийски). Для выезда с такими номерами за пределы Великобритании требуется дополнительно прикрепить на автомобиль овальную наклейку с кодом GB.

The CIA triad is the essence of security and if anyone asks you to define security, then how will you define it?
There are basically three dimensions in which security can be defined.
Security lies between the perfect balances of all these three triad elements.
Just thinking about the information. You can say any kind of data. Let's say the password. So your password stored on a website.
Now if any attacker is able to compromise the website and then he's able to see your password. This will be called a confidentiality breach. The attacker is able to see the unauthorized data. The main word is unauthorized access. Whenever any unauthorized person is able to access some information that is called as a confidentiality breach.
Integrity is all about the alteration. Just think about the same situation where an attacker is able to compromise the website. Just take a normal real-life example that the password is not stored in the website in clear text, the password is encrypted. So the attacker may not be able to see your password but maybe he can modify your password.
It can also be applied to physical systems. For example you have a computer that has some hardware. Let's say 2 GB RAM and 1 TB Hard Disk. Now any attacker comes and he modified some of the hardware. This is also damage to integrity because your system hardware has changed.
So it's all about the unauthorized alteration.
It is like being available for something.
For example the attacker simply compromises the whole website resulting in a denial-of-service. You cannot go ahead and use that website because it is down. So the availability of that website is damaged for you. It's all about unauthorized destruction.
A physical Security example here can be that you have a computer. Now your computer gets short circuit. So the system is unavailable for anyone. You can't use that system because it is damaged. So the availability component is damaged.
So security is not only about attacking the system and compromising things, it's all about the three basic elements. The unauthorized access, which comes in confidentiality, the unauthorized alteration, which comes into integrity and the unauthorized destruction, which comes in the availability.
The opposite of the CIA triad.
Disclosure is opposed to the confidentiality, Alteration is for integrity and Destruction for the availability.
So this is how the security can be defined, either you define it using CIA Triad, or you use DAD.
