Wikipedia – The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology & Education, Inc.
The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education (NIPTE) is a non-profit scientific and research and development organization that was established in 2005 and incorporated in June 2007 in the State of Indiana. Its offices are currently located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
NIPTE's current membership includes 18 leading schools and colleges of pharmacy and chemical engineering from the following universities: University of Mississippi, Duquesne University, University of Rochester, Illinois Institute of Technology, Purdue University, Rutgers University, University of Puerto Rico, Long Island University, University of Connecticut, University of Texas at Austin, University of Iowa, University of Kentucky, University of Maryland, Texas A&M University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Kansas and University of Wisconsin.
The pharmaceutical industry is currently facing increased pricing pressures globally and rising manufacturing costs. Cost of Goods (COGS) for Brand-Name pharmaceutical drugs can be higher than 30% of the total sales revenues of these companies. In comparison, the percentage of sales revenues spent on R&D by these pharmaceutical companies is only 10-15%. For generic drugs, COGS can be as high as 50% of their total sales revenues. Traditionally, pharmaceutical companies preferred to manufacture their own products internally. They were keen on "making" what they "sold" because it provided them with more control of the quality of their products. However, since the pressures to reduce cost these days are high, to save money, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly outsourcing manufacturing to countries in Asia – where the regulatory standards are evolving and sometimes could lag several years behind the U.S.
The science required to transform a new discovery to a marketable new drug has definitely not kept pace with advances on the drug discovery side. Pharmaceutical product development today is more of an art than science. Once the new drug discovery is made, product development and manufacturing are left to traditional "tried and true" practices. Marked advances in chemistry, chemical engineering, computer modeling & simulation, instrumentation, analytical science, and product formulations that could be used to increase efficiency may also be more gainfully applied in pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing. The cost savings achievable by outsourcing can be easily exceeded by improving the science and technology for developing and manufacturing pharmaceutical products. Other industries, such as the semiconductor industry have examined their manufacturing technologies and have modernized them. This has allowed these industries to become more competitive and to have products of superior value.
Manufacturing is a critical step in the chain of very complex events before a drug reaches the pharmacy shelves. When that critical link is broken, it opens the door for something like the heparin crisis. And heparin may just be the tip of the iceberg. The ultimate answer is not costly inspections of foreign manufacturing sites. If that remains the answer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will need a lot more resources and millions of dollars from the United States Congress to ensure that all drugs and drug components manufactured in foreign countries are safe and effective. Our goal should be to improve the quality of pharmaceutical manufacturing such that drugs can be produced safely and cost-effectively no matter where they are produced. We need to build in manufacturing quality with front-end design – not back-end inspection. If the U.S. wants to increase medication safety and reduce the cost of drugs, it must invest in the basic science of drug development and manufacturing.
The public/private partnership model for drug discovery (known as the NIH Roadmap) shows success by spurring advances with strong basic science research investment. Between 1999 and 2006, research and development investments in the United States grew 5 times the initial investment while in Europe it grew 2.9 times. However, since 2006 Asia has markedly outpaced the U.S. in the opening of new research sites for pharmaceuticals.
Create and deliver educational and training programs that will prepare the technical cadre needed by the industry and the FDA to implement and regulate these new technologies.
NIPTE has developed Strategic Roadmap for Research and Technology which outlines current and future challenges and proposed solutions in pharmaceutical science.
NIPTE's membership includes leading schools and colleges of pharmacy and chemical and pharmaceutical engineering, and has overlapping scientific interests with pharmaceutical scientists (e.g. American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences).
Current academic programs in pharmaceutical technology are disappearing despite the continued and growing needs of today's industry leading to too few good teacher/mentors and very few qualified graduates. NIPTE comprises leading educational institutions in the pharmaceutical science and engineering, NIPTE's goal is to create a "pipeline" of diverse talent that commences at the undergraduate level and continues throughout graduate, postgraduate, and continuing education, augmenting the available workforce in academia, industry, and government. This goal is being addressed by developing and implementing an integrated Education and Training plan which incorporates NIPTE research programs. By that, NIPTE will create and deliver educational and training programs that will prepare the technical cadre needed by the industry and the FDA to implement and regulate new technologies.

Divorce Attorney in Johannesburg | Raichlin Attorneys – HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS: ARE YOU STILL AT RISK ON INSOLVENCY?
If the arrears aren't recovered, you and the other homeowners will have to chip in to cover the shortfall.
Fortune has however smiled on HOAs and their members in the form of two recent Supreme Court of Appeal decisions which have made collection of these arrears a whole lot easier.
In a nutshell – when the liquidator/trustee of an insolvent owner's estate sells the property, the HOA can block transfer to the buyer until the arrear levies are paid. The arrears, held the Court, have to be paid to the HOA as a "cost of realisation of the property" – in other words, before bondholders and other creditors are paid. With the happy result that (provided of course the sale price is high enough) the HOA will be paid in full.
Keeps a close eye on any levy accounts going into arrear.
Acts immediately to collect outstanding levies, taking legal action if necessary. Slow, ineffective debt collection processes will not only put unnecessary strain on the HOA's finances, but they ultimately risk a defence of prescription being raised by the debtor.
Bondholders – your risk just increased!
There is a lot at stake here. The overall problem is a huge one – the Court heard that "just 35 members of NAMA [National Association of Managing Agents] are owed fees in excess of R28 million in respect of members whose properties were subjected to forced sales". And where the liquidation sale price is low and the arrears high, you could be writing off a substantial debt.


Southeast Asia is rich in healing concepts and practices. This series documents various types of healers and the therapies and herbal medicaments they use in Central Java, Indonesia. These indigenous options can be classified in two broad categories. The first category includes secular and technical options, application of ilmu lahir (outer, technical, natura! knowledge) such as self-medication with herbs and massages, and healers such as midwives (dukun bayi), masseurs (dukunltukang pijit) and herbalists (tukanglpenjual jamu). The second category includes healers who apply ilmu batin (inner, spiritual or magical knowledge) such as 'wise' persons (orang tua) and mediums (dukun prewangan, dukun kebatinan). The photos, documenting ealers and methods from both categories, were taken in 1989, but up to these days we can find the same practices in Java and other parts of Indonesia, a testimony to the resilience of tradition notwithstanding the greater expansion of biomedicine.

The Special Relationship: Michael Sheen
Michael Sheen as Tony Blair
COULD Michael Sheen star as Tony Blair in a fourth film about the former prime minister?
I met up with Michael at a round table interview in London last month for a feature – still under embargo – to be published next week.
And also attended a special UK preview screening this week of The Special Relationship, the third in writer Peter Morgan's trilogy about Blair after The Deal and The Queen.
Followed by a late night Q&A with Michael, Peter, producer Tracey Scoffield and Creative Director of BBC Films Christine Langan.
You can read my report from that event in MediaGuardian here, including Michael's thoughts on a possible fourth appearance as Blair.
Sheen is typically brilliant in the epic and perceptive film, which is broadcast on BBC2 a week tomorrow after its American screening earlier this year.
Nominated for five Emmy Awards, the BBC / HBO co-production looks at how the relationship between Blair and US President Bill Clinton developed and changed, eventually turning Blair into a political superstar.
Dennis Quaid plays Clinton, with Hope Davis as wife Hillary Clinton and Helen McCrory reprising her role as Cherie Blair.
There will be lots more from Michael both in the MEN and this blog next week.
But, for now, I thought some of those interested in Sheen, Morgan and the film who were unable to get to the British Film Institute on London's South Bank on Wednesday might like a few more extracts from the Q&A, chaired by journalist Simon Hattenstone.
Sheen spoke about his 2009 meeting with Blair at Rupert Murdoch's house in Los Angeles, before he filmed The Special Relationship.
"He gave me a good old look up and down when I first met him. And he says he hasn't seen the films. But he has an incredibly good working knowledge of the films. In fact, I understand that he now quotes from the films in his own book, which I haven't read."
Earlier this week Morgan said he suspected Blair's account in his memoir of what was said when he went to kiss hands with the Queen in 1997 was actually taken from his film The Queen.
Asked if he believed Blair when he said he had not seen the films, Sheen replied:
"No. But I understand why he says that, because he says that he's seen them, then people can ask him whether various things are true or not and he just wants to bypass the whole thing. So it's fair enough. I don't find it ridiculous that he said that he hasn't seen the films. But he clearly has because he talked about them with me. I think he probably likes The Queen best. I wouldn't imagine that he likes The Deal very much."
Doe he have to have empathy or sympathy with Blair to play him?
"Yes, of course. Cards on the table. He's a character that I play. I love him, because I love every character I play. It would be ridiculous if I didn't. I'm not going to sit here and go, 'I don't like Blair.' It's gone way beyond a politician or a leader. It's a character I played three times. The whole point of my job is that I have to connect with this character. Now I don't know Tony Blair. I've met him once. I can't say anything I know about him. But I know this character that I play and that character has developed and evolved and changed and gone in different directions. How much similarity it bears to the actual Tony Blair, I've no idea. And I don't really care."
Morgan said: "That's exactly how I feel about it. When I'm asked about Blair, I go, 'What do you mean?' There's this bloke that I write about who happens to be called Tony Blair and I don't know if it's like him at all. In the end, when an audience watches, they're a much better judge of whether we're doing it right or not than we are."
Speaking about why he felt the urge to write about Blair, Morgan added: "He was the first prime minister that didn't feel like an alien. And he was somebody that I really had high hopes for and investment in. I celebrated when he was elected. I'm sure if I met him, I'd like him. I haven't ever met him."
Sheen said: "In America, certainly, people think of Blair as being this really great guy and really intelligent and we all loved him. And then he did this weird thing that we never really quite understood. It was actually very consistent, everything that happened. Just plotting all the things that empowered Blair and that gave him a sense of right and wrong and that he was justified and why he made the choices he made. Nevertheless within that, it's not like trying to put across a point of view about him. I'm still looking at playing a real living person, who's three-dimensional and flawed and as much a mystery to himself as anyone else. I can only really play myself through the mask of somebody else."
Michael Sheen as Blair and Dennis Quaid as Clinton
Asked why his portrayal of Blair in The Special Relationship contained fewer "mannerisms and voices," Sheen explained:
"When we did The Deal that was the first time I'd ever played a real person that people were very familiar with. And when I watch it now, I cringe, just for what I'm doing, because it's seems so 'much.' I just want to go, 'Calm down.' And then on The Queen it started to settle a little bit. And then by this one…having met him made a big difference. Just being in the same room as him and just seeing how he moves the air and how he is with people, physically. Something just shifted for me. And so generally through the three films, I've backed off a lot. Also I think I've got better at playing him. I'm focusing in different areas. I think I've just got better at playing real people. I've settled into that more."
Morgan spoke of how Blair had changed over the years, along with his urge to write more about him:
"I think there was much more social democratic secularism in him early on and that it grew and changed. He was a bit like a paint chart. I don't think we've…the increasing removal away from Cabinet government into sofa government and instinct government. I kind of feel this is what I've got to do. This is just the way I feel and I'm unapolagetic. It's a conviction."
Would Morgan's script have been ruder if the film had not been a British-US co-production?
"They see the world through their prism," he replied. "They have a noble tradition in journalism of fact-checking far more thoroughly than we do. It's absolutely extraordinary. We were fact-checked to death on this. I'd have been ruder…mischievous. That's just what it is to be English. I felt some bits were missing."
Helen McCrory as Cherie Blair
Did Morgan think he had been too kind in his portrayal of Cherie in this latest film?
"I think we probably, on balance, are too nice to Cherie. I don't mean that cruelly. I think I probably write her more as an interrogating foil to Blair and Blair's conscience. And so she is written a bit like Rosa Luxemburg."
"Cherie, I regret sometimes, fulfils a narrative function that I think is probably not entirely true to her character and I think, in the end, paints a rather more flattering picture than is perhaps the case."
Sheen added: "She's always good value comedy-wise."
Asked to name his favourite film of Morgan's that he's been in, Sheen replied: "The Damned United. Clough's my favourite character. I like them all. I mean, I'm brilliant in them all," he laughed. "They're all brilliantly written. But that's my favourite."
Whether or not he makes a fourth film, Morgan insisted he will not be returning to Downing Street after the Blair years.
Asked by an audience member if he saw similar dramatic potential in the emerging relationship between David Cameron and Nick Clegg, he replied: "It doesn't interest me in the slightest."

INDIANA – As reported by the Indy Star: ``Cheating dealers and drunken gamblers are things that every casino needs to watch for. But who should police Indiana's 10 riverboat casinos is the subject of debate.
``A state lawmaker has proposed replacing the Indiana State Police troopers who now patrol the boats with gaming officers specially trained to spot casino crimes, and auditors to keep track of money on the boats.
``But police officials and a gaming analyst question the need for the separate force, saying the troopers already are trained by Las Vegas experts to patrol casinos.
```It's working now, why consolidate it?' said I. Nelson Rose, a law professor at Whittier (Calif.) College who studies gambling.
``The shift is needed, says the author of House Bill 1231, because the training that officers receive is inadequate given the high-stakes nature of the industry. Indiana's 10 riverboat casinos generated $2 billion in revenue in 2002…"

Instructions on how to recharge your iPhone 4 with a South Korean power outlet using a 30-pin Apple cable and a Type C USB charger and recharging the iPhone 4 using a Type F USB plug.
Different combinations of region codes and voltages can all be confusing when planning on staying in another country if you've never visited before. These instructions have been specifically written to stop people worrying if they'll be able to charge their iPhone 4 when staying in South Korea.When you are visiting South Korea these instructions show how to supply power to the iPhone 4 by using their standard F or C type South Korean 220 volt 60Hz plug outlets, you will discover a majority of South Koreans typically use Type F plug outlets. Power sockets are different depending on which area you are visiting therefore please read the travel power supplies page for a complete list of regions and countries. When travelling to South Korea from a different region ensure your iPhone 4 can be charged using a 240v supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110v check that the device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional converter to avoid the device from over-heating when powering up. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 4.
Can you use the iPhone 4 in South Korea?
What is the best travel charger for recharging the iPhone 4 in South Korea?
You can use the iPhone 4 in South Korea by using a power adaptor.
If you are travelling to multiple countries and bringing along more than your iPhone 4 the best international travel adapter for South Korea is a multiple USB port charger which includes compatible plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger . South Koreans use two different types of power outlets (types F and C) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for type C.
Because these types of chargers are supplied with interchangeable pins and can handle 100 volts - 240 volts it makes them ideal for over 100 countries around the world just by switching the supplied plugs over. If your type of iPhone 4 supports Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much quicker recharging times by using one of these USB power adapters along with compatibility with more power demanding devices like tablets. This means you can charge multiple devices simultaneously without needing to bring seperate travel chargers on your trip or using up additional power sockets. Because you are only packing a single lightweight travel charger will also keep the size and weight down, making it perfect to store in hand baggage and on hand for recharging your iPhone 4 at an airport or on the flight. Due to their space saving flexibility these types of power adapters can be used back at home so when you're not travelling they can sit overnight charging multiple tablets, phones and e-readers without using up an additional wall outlet.
For those travelling to South Korea we suggest searching for an adaptable travel charger of this nature at your preferred electronics retailer - the travel charger illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger  which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous foreign countries.
BESTEK Portable International Travel Voltage Converter - The BESTEK international travel adaptor has 4 USB charging ports with 3 AC power outlets and is the most popular portable power adapter for travellers originating from North America going to South Korea using 3 pin type B plug sockets.
ORICO Traveling Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip - Also having 4 USB ports but only 2 AC power outlets the travel adapter from Orico is also aimed at travellers originating from the US using type B plugs. This is a much more cost effective alternative to the BESTEK with only one less AC outlet at almost half price.
BESTEK International USB Travel Power Strip - This power strip has 2 AC outlets but offers 5 USB charging ports. This versatile power strip is compatible with both American plugs and popular plug types A, D,E/F, G, H, I, L and N making it ideal for most travellers from around the world visiting South Korea.
Using a 30-pin Apple cable and a Type C USB charger to charge your iPhone 4 with a South Korean power outlet.
To charge the iPhone 4 from the South Korean power outlet you will need to use a Type C USB power adapter  and a USB to Apple 30 pin cable  (Apple usually include this USB cable with the iPhone 4).
Start by taking the Type C USB power adapter and plugging it in the wall supply. This ungrounded power supply (known as a Type C power outlet ) can be recognised by 2 circular holes next to each other where the two plug outlet pins slide into. Type C electrical outlets in South Korea are less common as Type F outlets.
Then connect one end of the USB cable into the bottom of the USB power adapter and the other end into the dock connector on the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 dock connector is found at bottom of the iPhone 4.
The battery icon that you'll find in the top right corner of the phone will display a charge icon to indicate that the iPhone 4 is powering up which typically takes roughly 60 to 240 minutes to fully recharge to full capacity.
Using a 30-pin connector and a 2 pin Type F power adapter to power the iPhone 4 from a South Korean power outlet.
If you want to power the iPhone 4 using the South Korean power outlet you will need to use a Type F USB power adapter  and a USB to Apple 30 pin cable  - this USB cable is normally already included with the device.
Start by taking the Type F USB power adapter and plugging it into the wall supply. You can identify the power outlet by the two large adjacent holes where the plug outlet pins sit along with a pair of thin grounding clips at the top and bottom. Type F plug outlets are the most commonly used outlets in South Korea.
Plug in one end of the Apple cord into the bottom of the USB charger and the other end into the dock connector on the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 dock connector is found at bottom of the iPhone 4.
The battery icon that you'll find in the top right hand corner of your iPhone 4 screen will display a charging icon to indicate that the mobile is charging taking around 1-4 hours to recharge to 100% capacity.

     As 1993 drew to a close, movie-goers in search of light
entertainment were treated to the delightful (if formulaic) GRUMPY OLD
MEN, a reunion of the often-paired odd couple of Jack Lemmon and Walter
Matthau.  Now, two years later, John Gustafson (Lemmon) and best enemy
Max Goldman (Matthau) are back at it again.  Only this time, their barbs
lack the zing of the previous outing.  And that's not all that's missing
in this ill-advised sequel.  GRUMPIER OLD MEN isn't as fun, spontaneous,
or amusing as the original.  In short, it's a poor retread that can't be
redeemed by the pleasure of seeing Lemmon and Matthau together.

     GRUMPIER OLD MEN picks up some six months after the end of the
first movie.  It's Autumn in Minnesota, and normal fishing has replaced
the ice variety for John, Max, and John's father (Burgess Meredith).
John's daughter Melanie (Daryl Hannah) and Max's son Jacob (Kevin
Pollak) are busy planning their wedding while newlyweds John and Ariel
(Ann-Margret) are settling down into a comfortable routine.  Meanwhile,
Max does his best to hide his own loneliness, but his stated preference
of a TV dinner in front of GERALDO doesn't fool his son, who encourages
Max to start dating.  As luck would have it, a very eligible Italian
divorcee (Sophia Loren) moves into town around this time, and her
eventual pairing with Max seems inevitable.

     Maybe the actors aren't having as much fun this time around, or
perhaps the jokes are just too flat, but GRUMPIER OLD MEN is uninspired.
Even Burgess Meredith, who easily stole the first film, isn't as good
here.  The movie seems like something made exclusively because its
predecessor was a box-office success.  Whatever magic GRUMPY possessed,
GRUMPIER lacks.

     As was the case in the 1993 movie, the best part arrives during the
end credits.  If you bothered to come at all, this series of bloopers
and outtakes is worth staying for.  Meredith's list of creative double-
entendres is easily GRUMPIER OLD MEN's comic highlight.  Unfortunately,
the competition for this honor is pretty feeble.  The sequel has only
about a third as many legitimate laughs as the original.

     While this may not be the final on-screen teaming of "putz" Lemmon
and "moron" Matthau, hopefully this is the last time we'll see them as
John and Max.  It's not difficult to recognize that there's still
chemistry between the actors, but they need a new behind-the-scenes
creative team.  These particular grumpy old men have had their day.

The International Correspondence School started in 1891 as a question-answer column in the pages of the mining journal Colliery Engineer and Metal Miner, also published by Foster. This column was a response to the in-depth tests required of miners and inspectors by the Pennsylvania Mine Safety Act of 1885.

The I.T.C. merged the Colliery Engineer School of Mines, School of Mines, Correspondence Schools, and the International Correspondence School as the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton, Pennsylvania, under the new International Textbook Company.

Several Scranton correspondence schools had textbooks printed or published by I.T.C. as direct subsidiaries of the school, including the Institute of Business Science and the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences.

Foster's unethical business practices bankrupted the school and the book company. Philanthropic Scranton bankers and businessmen who saw the potential impact this school would have on their workforce and community reorganized it under receivership in 1905.   Many men and women who didn't have the means for schooling past grade 8 in the first half of the 20th century can thank them for their vision.  I.C.S. and other later schools such as The American School of Correspondence in Chicago, Illinois, provided a way to gain practical knowledge that could better their earning potential without quitting work for 3–4 years.

The International Library of Technology was published by I.T.C. These books were bound volumes of the course materials for the more than 240 courses offered.  These books were used and made available in at least 184 colleges, including the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and Cornell University, and at least 649 public libraries.

The NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago is supposed to be routine — a workout, a physical, and then the interview. It's a breeze for most of these kids. They sit down with a dozen teams and tell them what they want to hear, how they want to hear it, and throw in a few yes-sirs and no-sirs to give the pretense of modesty and cooperation.
Some of them couldn't care less: When Austin Rivers or Harrison Barnes walked into the room, teams knew they were not so much conceited as convinced that they were destined to be stars. They've known it since they were preteens. Everything about them — personalities, rote responses, body language — broadcast one message: I'm going to be great, I know it, and now you know it.
The rest of them follow a standard script. It's stupid, but that's what their agents have programmed them to recite. No sir, I don't have a girlfriend. No sir, I never go out at night — I stay home a lot, play video games. Twitter? Only if you want me to.
Then there was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who was snagged by Charlotte with the second pick in the 2012 NBA Draft tonight.
As you already know, our Jersey kid has a moderate to acute stuttering issue, which makes sitting in a room with a half-dozen strangers and being bombarded with 30 minutes of questions a very difficult proposition. For weeks, there had been rumors throughout the NBA that he tumbled down the draft hierarchy because of that experience in Chicago in late May, and he knew about plummet scenarios himself.
"The interview was painful, but if you just give him the time, you realize that this is just one of the most engaging kids you'll ever meet," said a longtime NBA executive, who requested anonymity so as to not speak of another team's players. "You just had to say, 'Mike, take your time, we're not in a rush,' and he got the words out with less trouble.
His personality won't make Kidd-Gilchrist a great player. But the fact that a teenager with an unrefined offensive game was chosen second in a very top-heavy draft probably speaks well of the impression he left on teams in Chicago, speech impediment aside.
Of course, Michael Jordan's impression is a complete mystery: The Bobcats owner, facing the most important decision of his undistinguished career as an exec, never interviewed Kidd-Gilchrist before investing the No. 2 pick on him, the kid revealed.
The truth is, he is merely a piece — but a great piece. You already know that nobody in the wing group is better than this guy in five crucial areas: physical readiness, rebound fundamentals, defense, rim attacks, and motor.
Sure, he's a few summers away from being a shooter. But when you consider the numbers on Draftexpress.com — 70.5 percent shooting at the rim, 56.3 percent efficiency in the post — there's not exactly a great need for a jumper: He's explosive, powerful, and slippery — even on the gallop — and one of these days, he'll add a jumper and a better handle to become a regular offensive contributor.
But we've seen him enough that you can wind him up every night and tell him to shut a guy down, run all night, get into seams, contribute in small ways. He'll do all of that from Day 1, if Mike Dunlap (uh, he's the new head coach) has a clue.


Concentrating closely on a conversation can leave us 'deaf' to other sounds, reveals Dr Polly Dalton from the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Participants in her experiment – the first of its kind – completely failed to notice a clearly audible 'gorilla man' when they were paying attention to a different conversation.
Dr Dalton and research associate Nick Fraenkel created a lifelike, three-dimensional auditory scene, containing one conversation between two men and another between two women. Halfway through the recording they introduced a 'gorilla man', who walked through the scene repeating the phrase "I'm a gorilla!" for 19 seconds. People who were concentrating on the men's conversation were much better at detecting the 'gorilla man', but most of those listening to the women's discussion completely failed to notice him at all.
Dr Dalton says: "The 'invisible gorilla' effect, where people fail to see a person in a gorilla suit walking through a basketball game, is now quite well-known. Our study provides the first demonstration of a similar 'silent gorilla' effect in hearing.
The research, funded by the ESRC, is published in the journal Cognition. It has received widespread media coverage including on BBC Breakfast news, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and BBC radio stations.
The audio recording used in the experiment is available to listen here. Note that you must listen on headphones to experience the 3D effect.

Nausea and vomiting have many possible causes, some benign and some serious. No matter what's at the root of nausea and vomiting, it can feel awful and even be debilitating—and a sudden episode can be unsettling. The first step to getting better is narrowing down why you got sick in the first place.
It's important to know whether to get medical attention or focus on nursing yourself back to health at home—or a combination of these. The following suggestions can help you make that call.
Whatever the cause, prolonged vomiting can cause dehydration, which can become a medical issue on its own.
Verywell / Ellen Lindner
Possible Cause
Possible dizziness or headache
Fever (possible)
Viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
Watery diarrhea
Abdominal cramps
Alcohol ingestion, intoxication, or hangover
Sensitivity to light and sound
Hoarse voice
Swelling face, lips, tongue
Possibly anaphylaxis
Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD)
Heartburn pain in chest
Sensitivity to light, noise, and odors
Medications (including chemotherapy)
Abdominal pain (becoming sharp and severe)
Poison or medication overdose
Other symptoms depending on the substance, including rash, diarrhea, trouble breathing, seizure, loss of consciousness
Intestinal blockage
Abdominal pain and cramps
Can't pass gas
Vomiting (may be green from bile or brown from feces)
Chronic nausea
Vomiting (may be red or coffee-ground appearance from blood)
Bloody or dark, tarry stools
Heartburn or chest pain
Sudden high fever
Stiff neck
Concussion or brain injury
Cyclic vomiting disorder
Cyclic attacks
Feeling of impending doom
Signs You Can Likely Use Self-Care
If you are in motion (car, bus, train, boat, plane, etc.) and had no symptoms prior to starting your journey, your nausea and vomiting may be motion sickness. Self-care is appropriate, as are over-the-counter motion sickness medications.
If you had nausea or diarrhea prior to vomiting, these are signs that your vomiting is most likely due to a stomach bug. It could be a virus such as gastroenteritis or bacteria such as E. coli or salmonella. While most cases get better on their own, children and those with weak immune systems can develop complications.
Food poisoning can be suspected if others who dined with you in the past few hours are also having symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. You may also have painful abdominal cramps and could have a low-grade fever.
Most cases of food poisoning will resolve with self-care so long as dehydration or more concerning symptoms do not develop, or any cramping or fever do not become progressively worse.
Starting a new medication or treatment (such as chemotherapy) may produce nausea and vomiting. Self-care is usually appropriate if there are no other symptoms, but you should call your healthcare provider to report your symptoms and get advice about whether to change medications.
Signs such as a missed menstrual period and new onset of nausea and vomiting may indicate morning sickness common to pregnancy. If you could possibly be pregnant, take a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, self-care is appropriate for morning sickness, but you should see a healthcare provider for prenatal care.
It is common to have nausea and vomiting after drinking alcohol, as it can upset the stomach both at the time you are drinking and when experiencing a hangover. Use self-care to feel better.
Typical Appearance of Vomit
Most vomit starts out looking like whatever it was you ate last. An orange color is expected if you are vomiting hours after eating, as food that is being digested will give vomit this hue.
If you have been vomiting repeatedly, your vomit will often become clear as all of the food has been ejected and only digestive juices remain. These characteristics do not point to serious causes, but they do not rule them out either.
Self-Care Strategies
If you have a stomach bug or any other more benign cause of vomiting, lay down and do not attempt to participate in any physical activities while you are sick.
If you do not vomit for a period of 15 to 20 minutes, you can try to introduce small sips of clear liquids (water or an electrolyte drink such as Gatorade or Pedialyte). Continue clear liquids for at least six hours.
While actively vomiting, it is best to avoid eating and stick with sips of clear liquids. This will help prevent dehydration and it reduces the risk of choking when vomiting.
Once you are able to keep clear liquids down for six hours or more, you can progress to a bland diet. After the risk of vomiting has subsided, continue to avoid spicy, fatty, and salty foods, as well as those that have a strong odor, until you are tolerating food well.
How to Stop Throwing Up
When to Schedule an Appointment
Regardless of what you think is causing your nausea or vomiting, see your healthcare provider if you have these symptoms. These can point to more concerning causes that need to be further screened for and monitored:
Inability to keep down any liquids or food and have vomited three or more times in a day
Vomiting that does not stop in 24 hours (adults and children) or 12 hours (infants)
Recurrent bouts of nausea or vomiting
Stomach or abdominal pain
Nausea for more than two days
Fever over 100 degrees F in children under age 6, over 102 degrees F in children age 6 and over, or over 101 degrees F in adults
Your healthcare provider may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications that are appropriate for your age, other health conditions, and cause of your symptoms.
If you note vomiting after eating certain foods, you may have a food allergy or intolerance. In most food allergies, a reaction to the food happens soon after ingestion. However, in food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), the reaction may be delayed for hours, so it is harder to identify the trigger.
When to Get Urgent Care
Some illnesses that cause vomiting require immediate medical attention. You may need to go to an urgent care clinic or an emergency room for these symptoms:
Signs of dehydration, which can include dark-colored urine or no urination for 12 hours, thirst, dry mouth or eyes, fatigue, dizziness when standing
History of head injury in the past 24 hours
Severe abdominal pain
Severe headache and/or stiff neck
Red, black, coffee-ground-like, green, or dark yellow vomit
Hives or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
In infants, green vomit or persistent vomiting
Vomit that is shades of green or dark yellow is typically due to bile, a digestive fluid released from the gallbladder into the first section of the small intestine. For children, this can signal a blockage or torsion of the stomach or small intestine that requires immediate medical attention.
It can also occur when a person has vomited so much that there is no food or liquid left in their stomach. In this case, it may be an indication of dehydration. In adults, vomit that is green from bile may also be due to a bowel blockage.
Signs of blood in vomit may or may not be obvious. If you are vomiting bright red, it could be blood. Black vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds may also be blood.
Although there may not be active internal bleeding, vomit that looks like coffee grounds is still considered a medical emergency.
Nausea and vomiting can be signs of a heart attack, severe allergic reaction, brain injury, meningitis, bowel obstruction, or poisoning.
These accompanying symptoms and scenarios warrant getting emergency medical assistance by calling 911:
Rapid breathing or pulse
High fever with stiff neck
Signs of anaphylaxis, such as trouble swallowing or breathing
You suspect poisoning as a cause
Brown vomit that smells like feces
What does green or yellow vomit mean?
Shades of green and dark yellow in vomit are typically due to bile. Bile is a digestive fluid released from the gallbladder into the first section of the small intestine. Green or yellow vomit is a symptom of a blockage or rotation in the stomach or small intestine in children. Green or yellow vomit could indicate dehydration or a bowel blockage in adults.
One exception: If you recently ate or drank something green or yellow and this is your first round of vomiting after eating, the green or yellow hue is likely due to your stomach contents.
What does orange vomit mean?
Orange vomit typically occurs several hours after eating. Most food turns orange during the digestive process. Vomit that is orange is not typically problematic unless it is accompanied by other symptoms. Warning signs to watch for include a head injury in the last 24 hours, severe abdominal pain, severe headache, stiff neck, confusion, fever, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
Should I lie down after throwing up?
You can if it makes you feel better, but you don't have to. Many people find lying down after vomiting helps to settle the stomach.
However, sometimes lying down makes a person feel worse. People who have GERD or are experiencing acid reflux may feel better in a seated or reclining position after throwing up.
If a person is drunk or not fully conscious after vomiting, do not let them lie on their back, but instead roll them on their side to prevent choking.
Is it ok to drink water after throwing up?
Do not drink or eat anything immediately after throwing up—wait at least 15 to 20 minutes. After that, you can try to take small sips of water or other clear liquids. While water is fine, an electrolyte drink, such as Pedialyte, may be easier for your stomach to handle and help replace electrolytes lost during vomiting.

As land disappears, governments shore up climate change plans
Francis Campbell (fcampbell@herald.ca)
Published: Oct 08, 2018 at 6 a.m.
Updated: Nov 18, 2019 at 12:36 p.m.
Roderick Desmore has lost several acres of farmland due to erosion in Hants County. - Ryan Taplin
Along Fundy shore, property sliding into the bay. One farmer says 30 to 40 metres of his farmland has been lost in last several decades.
Note: Sea levels are rising at a pace unparalleled in modern times and storms are becoming more intense as a result of global warming. This story is part of a weeklong series examining our rising oceans, the impact on our region and what government, scientists and others are doing to track change and mitigate damage.
Click here to read the series.
The Bay of Fundy is a subtle but prolific property thief.
Rod Densmore of Noel Shore hasn't really caught the bay in the act but he can testify to its persistent activity.
"I can remember the fields, a hill toward the water and when you got to the bottom of the hill, the land used to level out but it doesn't anymore," Densmore said of the farm property on the north side of Highway 215 where he has lived for all of his 76 years.
"You are coming uphill at the edge of the bank now."
Protecting our coastline
Densmore says some 30 to 40 metres of farmland have disappeared over the years.
"At one point, it was kind of like a semicircle," he said. "It didn't roll down the bank, it just kind of slid down and settled. I had my ground plowed and I just took my head ridge probably 30 feet in and 100 feet across. It just slid down and sort of washed away."
The Densmore property now ends with a six-metre drop down an embankment to the bay. At normal high tide, the relentless Fundy munches steadily on the soil up to nearly a quarter of the height of the embankment. In storm surges, its voracity intensifies.
Densmore said farms all along the shore have surrendered land to the bay.
"Nothing was ever done to hold it back," he said.
With sea levels in the province expected to rise by about .45 metres by 2055 and by a metre by 2100, it's time to do something.
"People want more information, they are wondering if there are any plans for them to actually start adapting to the changes they are already seeing, knowing that there are going to be more to come," said Brittany MacIsaac, who in her role with the Ecology Action Centre has being doing a series of public workshops on sea level rise across the province.
For the most part, it's up to government to glean and circulate vital sea level information.
"It's a major factor in Nova Scotia," said Environment Minister Margaret Miller, who recently returned to the department from Natural Resources. "People who were denying climate change and were denying that we would have erosion were burying their heads in the sand."
Jason Hollett, executive director of the climate change team with the Environment Department, said the province is doing a lot to prepare for the impacts that come with that change.
"Nova Scotians have a lot to be proud of in terms of our greenhouse gas emission reduction over the last couple of years but no matter what we do, we know a lot of this change is sort of locked in over the next 100 years or so," Hollet said. "A lot of what we're doing is creating or helping communities or affected organizations have access to or create the information that they need in order to plan for the impacts. For example, we work closely with the town of Yarmouth, Lunenburg, a few other coastal communities around the province to do some detailed sea level rise and storm surge mapping so that they can identify critical infrastructure or future impacts from climate change."
Hollett said Municipal Affairs did a groundbreaking program with the province's 51 municipalities a couple of years back, requiring municipalities to create climate change action plans.
"It's a detalied analysis of what impacts they foresee and the issues and opportunities for their municipalities."
Hollett said that one-of-a-kind municipal analysis in Canada allowed the provincial department to focus on "common issues that folks are dealing with in terms of climate change — sea level rise, storm surges, extreme weather events."
But all municipalities have not been created equally, especially not in a province that boasts 8,000 kilometres of coastline, jumping to 13,000 kilometres when the land around harbours, coves, inlets and tidal estuaries are included.
"It shouldn't be municipality against municipality, it should be one set of rules for the whole province," said Carolyn Bolivar-Getson, mayor of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and its 25,000 people.
By contrast, Halifax Regional Municipality is home to more than 430,00 people and it is guided by a comprehensive municipal planning strategy from 2014.
"We have a policy that effectively says we will establish a vertical buffer along coastal areas and every coastal land-use bylaw within the municipality will be updated to reflect this new vertical (buffer) ... essentially for storm surge protection," said Alex MacDonald, a climate change specialist with the city's energy and environment department.
The buffer is 2.5 metres above the ordinary high water mark.
The Muncipality of Lunenburg has no bylaw regulations about building proximity to the coast but it is working on mapping its inland flood plains to prepare for storm surges. Bolivar-Getson looks forward to uniform buffer zone regulations for new buildings that will be part of provincial coastal protection legislation to be drafted and passed later this year or in 2019.
"We don't want to continue to pay for bad decisions," Bolivar-Getson said. "We need to make sure that there are rules and regulations that help protect the taxpayer and protect our residents from losing their valuable property."
Still, Hollett said the onus will be on municipalities to produce their own climate change adaptation plans.
"Everyone is going to be dealing with similar impacts but in their own context," Hollett said. "You could be a town like Lockeport that's an island, connected to the mainland by a beach. You could be HRM, which is roughly the same size as P.E.I. and goes from urban to extremely rural. Everyone is different in their context and everyone is different in their capacity.
"That's an important thing for anything we do in the province, to recognize the differences that we have here."

This clock is based on a General Electric ammeter with a 0-15 scale, dated 1948. The case measures about 8" by 8" by 4.5" (not counting projections such as the handle) when closed. I added a single Nixie in the top right corner, replaced the original binding posts with similar-looking pushbuttons for controls, and installed a key switch on the left side to enter setting mode.
The software for this clock is basically the same as my type 1b design, modified to produce an analog output (via Pulse Width Modulation) to drive the meter, and have settings to specify what element of the time or date is shown on the meter. (One of the options is the day of the week, something none of my previous clocks have been able to display.) Somewhat more control over what the Nixie displays has been added: on this clock, it's reasonable to display only the hours, or only the minutes, if the other component of the time is being shown on the meter.

THAMIZH MOZHIPEYARPU MUNNODIGAL — Forerunners of Translating into Tamil: M. Valarmathy; International Institute of Tamil Studies, II Main Road, C.I.T. Campus, Chennai-600113. Rs.185.
We have been waiting for this book. The contribution of translators to the phenomenal and rich growth of contemporary literature has been seldom acknowledged. Valarmathy's systematic study of 20th century translators, who poured into the Tamil crucible winged thoughts, experiences and forms from non-Tamil literature, opens new passageways for the eager watcher of the Tamil skies.
At the head stands the tall figure of P.N. Appuswami (literally and metaphorically), who was a wizard with his instrument, as it could wield with equal felicity scientific literature and Sangam poetry. Appuswami had been inspired to take to translation by his legendary uncle, A. Madhaviah. The English books dealing with science that were rendered into Tamil by him include Gordon Dean's Atomic Power and H.G. Wells's Time Machine. Valarmathy gives an exhaustive list of the titles as also examples of his astonishingly appropriate translations of terms like 'endogenous' and 'exogenous'.
It is amazing to know that these translators are today associated only with very few names — as when we associate Ka. Sri. Sri with V.S. Khandekar (Marathi), and T.N. Kumaraswami with Bankimchandra Chatterjee, little knowing that their work spans a wider arc. Thus, Kumaraswami was also a creative writer who met Rabindranath Tagore in 1928 and received his blessings. In his rich career as a translator, he was able to give, in Tamil, eminent novelists like Bankim, Tagore, Tarashankar, Manik Bandopadhyaya, and Sarat Chandra.
Those who are in their Eighties now would know that they literally grew up with V. Swaminatha Sarma's works that brought the world to them and inspired patriotic feelings. He translated classics like Plato's Republic, Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War and Rousseau's The Social Contract, among others. He had none of the comforts of modern technology and financial help that today's translator gets in a big way. Even when Rangoon was being bombarded by Japanese forces and when he trudged on foot the long distance from Burma (now Myanmar) to India as a refugee, Plato kept him company. Such was his deep involvement in his chosen work.
Indeed, most of the translators introduced here were also great patriots. K.R. Jamadagni, the Marxist thinker who translated Das Kapital was a Gandhian satyagrahi and enjoyed translating Sanskrit classics like the Raghu Vamsam.
The 16 great translators who figure in this volume include M.K. Jagannatha Raja and N. Dharmarajan. They have been amazingly prolific. Thus, Dharmarajan's Tamil version of Sean O'Casey's The day the worker blows a bugle opens his roll call of translations which have exceeded 80 volumes. He continues to be active in this field. Finally, how best can we praise a translator like Jagannatha Raja? Till his last breath, he was engaged in this creative vocation that brought into easy-flowing Tamil masterpieces — like Kanya Sulkamu (Telugu), Gatha Saptasati (Prakrit), Deerga Nikaya (Pali), Naganandam (Sanskrit) and Pampa Bharatham (Kannada) — directly from the original languages. He has also given Telugu versions of ancient Tamil classics like Kurinji Pattu and Muthollaayiram. All this, and a creative writer too! Thamizh Mozhipeyarppu Munnodigal must be made required reading for all students of Tamil literature.


GAO-19-138: Published: Dec 20, 2018. Publicly Released: Dec 20, 2018.
Efforts are underway to improve security with a government-wide approach to regulate access to controlled areas in federal buildings. Access control systems use ID cards, card readers, and other technologies to confirm identities and access rights.
The Office of Management and Budget and the General Services Administration have helped agencies move toward an interoperable system. However, OMB lacks information on agency progress and this hampers its oversight.
Agencies reported high costs and difficulty adding new equipment to existing systems.
Among other things, we recommended that OMB determine and monitor agencies' progress.
This graphic shows an ID card, validation system, and physical access control turnstile.
OMB issued several memos to clarify agencies' responsibilities. For example, OMB issued a 2011 memo citing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidance that agencies must upgrade existing PACS to use identity credentials before using relevant funds for other activities. But, GAO found OMB's oversight efforts are hampered because it lacks baseline data on agencies' implementation of PACS. Without such data, OMB cannot meet its responsibility to ensure agencies adhere to PACS requirements or track progress in implementing federal PACS requirements and achieving the vision of secure, interoperable systems across agencies.
GSA developed an Approved Products List that identifies products that meet federal requirements through a testing and evaluation program. Federal agencies are required to use the Approved Products List to procure PACS equipment. GSA also has provided procurement guidance to agencies through its identity management website.
Officials from the five selected agencies that GAO reviewed identified a number of challenges relating to PACS implementation including cost, lack of clarity on how to procure equipment, and difficulty adding new PACS equipment to legacy systems. Officials from OMB, GSA, and industry not only confirmed that these challenges exist but also told GAO that they were most likely present across the federal government. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC), chaired by the DHS and consisting of 60 federal departments and agencies, has a mission to develop security standards for non-military agencies. In this capacity the ISC is well-positioned to determine the extent that PACS implementation challenges exist across its membership and to develop strategies to address them. An ISC official told GAO that the ISC has taken steps to do so including setting up a working group to assess what additional PACS guidance would be beneficial.
A 2004 federal directive and the related standard set forth a vision for using information technology to verify the identity of individuals accessing federal buildings. The vision calls for secure and reliable forms of identification that work in conjunction with access control systems. Interoperability of these systems across departments and agencies is part of the vision. OMB and GSA have government-wide responsibilities related to this effort. ISC provides guidance to non-military executive branch agencies on physical security issues. GAO was asked to examine PACS implementation efforts.
This report discusses (1) steps OMB and GSA have taken to fulfill their government-wide responsibilities related to PACS and (2) challenges selected federal agencies face in meeting current requirements. For review, GAO analyzed documents from Commerce, GSA, ISC, and OMB. GAO selected five non-military agencies based on factors including number of buildings and geographic location. GAO reviewed relevant requirements and key practices. GAO also interviewed federal agency officials, PACS vendors, and knowledgeable industry officials.
GAO recommends (1) that OMB determine and regularly monitor a baseline level of progress on PACS implementation and (2) that ISC assess the extent of, and develop strategies to address, government-wide challenges to implementing PACS. OMB had no comment on the recommendation. DHS concurred with the recommendation to ISC.

Conservation projects in the Yorkshire Dales and Sheffield's Forge Dam to benefit from £40m Government green jobs funding
The Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and Sheffield City Council are among a list of organisations set to benefit from a £40m boost in funding for green projects creating hundreds of jobs.
By Susie Beever
Ninety charities will benefit from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund across 600 sites, announced today by Natural England.
Among the projects being backed are a floodplain conservation scheme in the Dales National Park, a project to rejuvenate Sheffield's Forge Dam and another to St Nick's nature reserve in York to expand a green corridor across the city and introduce endangered species of beetles.
Another of the winning projects is the Don Catchment Rivers Trust, which conserves wildlife in the South Yorkshire river and is set to receive just over £181,000.
Forge Dam in Sheffield is to benefit from the funding
National heritage organisations including the Canal and River Trust, the RSPB and National Trust will benefit from seven-figure slices of the funding.
Charity Trees for Cities, which has planted more than one million urban trees since 1993, will receive £1,229,600, which they will use to plant 55,000 trees across 83 coastal locations.
The funding is delivered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England, the Environment Agency and the Forestry Commission, with the hopes of opening opportunities to young people interested in working in the environment sector.
Tony Juniper, Natural England chairman, said the projects would benefit local communities as well as delivering long-term economic growth.
The Don Catchment River Project is to receive more than £188,000 from the funding
"I know from experience how this fund will be able to help a new generation of passionate young environmentalists take the first few steps in their careers," he said.
"I can think of fewer more important investments in our future than that."
This is the second round of funding of the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, with winners from the first round being announced in October 2020.
Jonathan Dent, Natural Habitats Manager at St Nick's, said: "We have been developing this project for a number of years so it is incredibly rewarding for the hard work to have finally paid off.
A volunteer for York's Green Corridor project run by St Nick's nature reserve, which is one of the nationwide projects set to benefit from Government funding
"York is blessed with some amazing natural green corridors. Much of the biodiversity interest is within its wetland and grassland habitats, mainly associated with the river corridors, Ings land or flood meadows.
"Green Corridors York will work across the Clifton Ings, Fulford Ings and Tang Hall and Osbaldwick Beck corridors to create new and enhance existing habitats to benefit endangered species such as tansy beetle and water vole.
"Through close working with local nature conservation groups, land owners and communities we will bring people together to have a bigger impact across the corridors and improve the resilience of core wildlife sites such as Fulford Ings SSSI."

Q: how to get absolute path from relative path in command line I run this command "httpd -d ./inst2 -k start" to boot Apache Server, and I can see this command line through "ps -ef | grep httpd". My question is if i don't know the absolute path, is there a way to get the absolute path of "./inst2"?
Thanks

A: You can try to GUESS what the absolute path is by examining the pseudo symbolic link /proc/PID/cwd where PID can be determined from the ps output: ls -l /proc/PID/cwd. But please note that it is just the current working directory and your path may be resolved against any other directory, so it is just a guess.
Another option, if your program opens some files using this relative path and in fact you need to determine the full path of such files, you can enumerate files currently open by some process using /proc/PID/fd pseudo directory: ls -l /proc/PID/fd. But, of course, the file can already be closed by the time of executing ls. And I don't know what it will show if the open file was moved to some other place.

A: To get the absolute path of a file/directory even you can execute following command on linux.

*

*find $HOME -type f -name "inst2" (for file)

*find $HOME -type d -name "inst2" (for directory)

this can give you absolute path for any file or directory.
If the file is not in your home then use sudo in front of commands and replace $HOME by /.


My wife was able to attend the final Mass of the 2017 Colloquium. We were discussing how it would be possible for parents of young children to attend, and she thought that the offering of daycare would be nice. However, then she realized that a camp would be a great parallel to the Colloquium, to get children singing chant. Anyone reading who's involved with planning next year's Colloquium?
I believe the campus next year has some very strict rules involving children. More details to follow.
Any further details available on the regulations pertaining to children? Haven't attended since the nearly two-year-old was born, but would love to do so.
I agree that it would be very nice if we had the possibility of offering either daycare or some other program for children during the Colloquium. Unfortunately, we simply do not have resources for it. There are many hoops through which to jump when it comes to anything related to children and their safety. This year, at Loyola, we had to restrict the age of participants to those 16 and older for that reason. I can only imagine the type of regulations we would have to comply with for essentially running a children's camp or daycare facility... I haven't had any significant numbers requesting this type of thing and don't foresee us adding this to the Colloquium planning for the foreseeable future.
However, there have been attendees who have brought their children (and either a spouse or good friend or babysitter) along and who have made it into a sort of family vacation. Perhaps there may even be a possibility of collaboration between individuals so that outings for the children and caregivers could be planned. This would have to be done on your own, however, since we really just don't have the capability to take on this type of planning.
The forum is a really good place to make initial contact with others interested and following up by personal message for this type of plan.

Test and Measurement: FCC gives its blessing to 5G testbeds in New York, Salt Lake
The Federal Communications Commission is throwing its support behind two 5G testbeds — one in New York City, one in Salt Lake City — with experimental licensing which will let companies and universities more easily take their 5G testing into real-world urban locations.
Funding for the two 5G testbeds was announced last year by the National Science Foundation. The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology said this week that it is establishing expanded Innovation Zones in the testbed cities that will "provide opportunities for qualified licensees to test new advanced technologies and prototype networks – such as those that can support 5G technologies – outside a traditional small campus or laboratory setting."
In recent years, the FCC revamped its experimental program licenses to allow licensees to conduct testing for multiple, non-related experiments under a single authorization within a defined geographic area. "The Innovation Zone takes this concept a step further by effectively providing an extension of a Program License's authorized area of operation," the OET said — in other words, as long as the experimental license holders operate within the parameters set for a particular Innovation Zone, protect incumbents and provide advanced notice to the zone administrator, they can operate in the testbeds in New York and Salt Lake City without needing new authorization for that location.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said that the projects "will test new advanced technologies and prototype networks like those that can support 5G technologies," and that the Commission is "establishing a process to ensure new innovators can have access to this testing resource while protecting current, licensed users."
National Science Foundation funding for the two 5G testbeds under the Platform for Advanced Wireless Research Program (PAWR) was announced in 2018. PAWR was set up to provide $50 million in federal funding, plus $50 million in cash and in-kind contributions from dozens of industry partners, for the development of four city-scale 5G testbeds for wireless technology research. New York and Salt Lake were the first two announced testbeds, and the Research Triangle area of North Carolina has since been added as a testbed — though not yet as an FCC-designated Innovation Zone.
US Ignite, the organization which manages the PAWR fund in partnership with Northeastern University, has already put out a notice for competition for the fourth testbed, which will focus on "delivering fast, low-latency, and reliable broadband services to rural users in an efficient and affordable way." Proposers are expected to "create a testbed for experimenting with advanced wireless technologies and network architectures – combined with existing technologies – that could transform the existing broadband deployment cost curve" and to "envision solutions that can connect end users over a span of tens of kilometers/miles, while supporting low-cost delivery of data rates higher than achievable today."
Letters of intent to apply for the rural testbed project and $8 million in funding are due October 25, with proposals due in mid-December and an announcement of a platform winner expected in the third quarter of next year.
In other test news:
-Fresh on the heels of the introduction of the Wi-Fi 6 certification program this week, test vendor LitePoint already has a certification test solution available. LitePoint said that its IQxel-MW platform enables testing of key OFDMA functionality as part of the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification program for Wi-Fi 6, aka 802.11ax.
-Using drones to test 5G networks? Rohde & Schwarz said that it has done just that, in partnership with Ericsson. The test company said that using drones for 5G testing has significant advantages over traditional walk testing

or drive testing, because the UAVs provide "unprecedented repeatability and positional accuracy with the ability to verify beamforming and map coverage in 3D."
The drone-based test system uses mobile network testing scanners and smartphones from Rohde & Schwarz mounted on a drone which "can be programmed to execute automatic tests with considerable flexibility, for example for precise route selection and drone speed control," R&S said, adding that using drones rather than human tester "is especially valuable for industrial use cases." Rohde said that its TSMA6 network scanner is mounted on a drone and is "able to simultaneously verify important LTE and 5G NR coverage metrics such as reference signal received power and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio" and that when combined with its R&S QualiPoc Android smartphone-based optimizer, information on application quality of service, IP trace and serving cell parameters can also be gathered. The solution currently uses an LTE device, R&S noted, but it will soon support 5G devices such as Samsung's S10 5G.
The system was developed by a Finland-based project team led by Ericsson's 5G Readiness Program RAN Technical Lead Richard Wirén, together with Centria University of Applied Sciences. Read more here.
-Ted Rappaport, founder and long-time leader of the NYU Wireless research center at the Tandon School of Engineering, has stepped down and the organization has a new director: Thomas Marzetta, credited with originating the concepts behind massive multiple-input multiple-output antenna systems. Marzetta has been a professor at NYU Wireless since 2017. Rappaport said that he plans to travel and lecture, and that it is "the ideal time to bring in a new leader to direct NYU Wireless, to propose fresh new ideas, and to continue the growth and vitalization of the center. I believe that Tom will fulfill this role admirably. His unique research perspectives, combined with unparalleled industrial experience, are ideally suited to serve the needs of our students as well as those of our industrial affiliates."
NYU Wireless said that Marzetta's current research is focused on "6G," with a research initiative called "Beyond Massive MIMO" in which he is "investigating entirely new principles of operation that could result in wireless systems performing at previously unimaginable levels."
–Keysight Technologies continues to bolster its position as a leader in approved test cases for 5G conformance. The company says its 5G New Radio network emulation tools now have PTCRB-approved protocol conformance test cases for non-standalone mode (NSA) in both frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 as well as in standalone (SA) mode in FR1.

TokenCard is a project aimed at creating a way to apply crypto currency in everyday life, since now it works with regular money and bank cards. It's divided into three elements: the Token Contract Wallet, TokenCard and Token App. There are a lot of such projects, so let's look at it in detail. We could not find a prototype or MVP, and all that they have at the moment is a design. Yes, the project is prepared well, but they want to collect about 16 million dollars (the approximate size of their Hard Cap) just at the expense of the idea. There is an opinion that it is necessary to invest in the team, and not in the project. So from that side the ICO is pretty good - the team consists of 20 people, including many experienced managers and developers.
They issue a card that is connected to an online platform holding all your crypto assets. Really good idea and looks like they execute it well, but there are already projects like this that just simply feel better, for example Monaco. However, a little bit of competitiveness is always good for companies to deliver better products, so this one is a decent attempt to strike for that market of combining crypto world with fiat payments.
