In this blog post, I'll guide you through the most important characteristics that define a 'link' in packet-switched networks, how they can impact your application, give some examples of real world parameters and how to use NetEm to emulate them.
In every packet-switched network, you will notice characteristics that are intrinsic to them and that varies depends on the communication channels being used. Such characteristics are bandwidth, delay (including jitter), packet loss, packet corruption and reordering.
Bandwidth probably is the most known one, though still often wrongly blamed for poor online experiences. Actually, any of the characteristics above will impact the user experience, to some extent depending on how big they are.
The available bandwidth of a given path on a network with multiple hops such as the Internet is given by the smallest bandwidth available in it, pretty much like highways between two cities. If some specific hop is congested, it may affect the user experience more than his/her connection itself even if it seems small.
Delay is the sum of all delays imposed by the network. There are 4 kinds of delays on the network: transmission delay, propagation delay, processing delay, and buffer delay, and they happen on each and every hop of the network, to different levels.
Transmission delay is how much time the system needs to actually transmit a packet. Consider that a packet with 1500 bytes is output serialized, so it needs at least 12us to output it at 1GBps rate, not considering overheads, no matter how far the other endpoint is from it.
Then we have the propagation delay, which is how much time that outputted signal takes to travel to the other endpoint. On a rough example, the time delay for traveling 2km in fiber optics is close to 10us. From San Francisco to New York, ~4700km, gives ~23ms, if you had a straight fiber connecting the two cities.
Then there is processing delay, which is how much time the node in the hop needs to identify the packet that is arriving and knows where it should be sent. Some nodes may even do some other work on it, like NAT or firewalling, which is also accounted here.
Finally, there is the buffer delay. A system must have at least some level of receive and transmit buffers in order to operate at full capacity, but some have (way) more than that. If your packet arrives and there is no other packet in its buffer, you're next in line. But there can be some in there already, and you may have to wait a bit before continuing. The usage of excessive buffers is currently not recommended as they will likely trigger the BufferBloat effect.
On cabled connections, the first three delay sources, transmission, propagation, and processing, are generally considered constant, especially when compared to the buffer delay. Some may call their sum as 'latency', or just 'delay'. That last one, the buffer delay, is considered as the main component of jitter. This gets more complicated when you consider Wi-Fi connections, for example, on which the transmission delay can also float, due to signal strength and/or collisions and/or interference. That is because the PHY layer protocol used on Wi-Fi will attempt to retransmit a packet up to 6 times by default, causing additional delays to that retransmitted packet and all others on queue. So regardless of the actual source, the delay is the constant part and jitter is the variable one. Usually two times the delay results in the Round Trip Time: how much time it takes to go, and go back.
Packet loss can have multiple sources, all of which causes packets to be simply lost. One very possible situation is that, when arriving on a hop, the packet had to be discarded because there was not enough space in the buffers. There is some active queue management such as RED (Random Early Drop) being used which can drop packets even before so, so it starts to signal everyone that it is reaching its limit. Packet loss can also be a result of interference, especially in wireless communication.
Packet corruption is either a result of a bad processing or some interference, which mangles some bits on a packet. Link layers such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi have built-in checks to avoid letting such corrupted packets to continue on the network, so nowadays when this happens it is more likely that the packet was badly processed.
The last characteristic is reordering. Reordering can happen, for example, when a hop decides that now it is better to send packets through another path other than the current one. If this new path has less delay, the first packets sent just after the switch are likely to arrive before the last ones sent on the old path.
Now back to the user experience. Say you are developing a website that will be used by other employees in your company but they are based on another continent. When you test the website, it seems "fast". When they test it, it is "slow". Why, bandwidth? Probably not. Loading a webpage, as simple as it seems these days, is a very complex task for a browser.
Assuming DNS is already resolved, it connects to the web server and downloads the first part of the page, like the index.html file. To download this, it had to open a TCP connection, issue an HTTP request and get the reply. All this takes at least 2 RTT (Round Trip Time). Then the browser parses the HTML file and notices it has to download a CSS file. With HTTP/1.1 it can reuse that same TCP connection, and short the time to download the CSS file to at least 1 RTT.
Then, when parsing the CSS, it notices it also has to download an image, which is hosted on another server. So it opens this new TCP connection, issues the HTTP Request and downloads the image, consuming at least 2 RTTs again. So just for this, it took at least 5 RTTs. Note how we did not consider how big the files are, so bandwidth is irrelevant here. Now, if the two servers are downstairs, that is quick. But if you have an RTT of 200ms, which is common for intercontinental links, that is a whole second!
Even if you decide to put the CSS part inline, that would save only 1 RTT, and it would still be facing a page load time of 800ms.
You probably can understand now how delay has a big impact on Request/Response protocols such as HTTP.
The example above also did not consider possible packet drops, which can cause TCP to wait a bit more for getting your data through, and this waiting can also be RTT dependent.
This brings us to a known problem, called Head-of-Line blocking: it is when a packet (or a request) is held waiting on the current one to complete first. For TCP, as it has to delivery data in order to the receiving application, it can happen because of packet drops or out-of-order delivery. On HTTP level, when a browser issues 2 or more requests on the same connection and the first one is considerably bigger than the others, it will block them until it completes. There are multiple ways to solve or workaround this, like with HTTP Pipelining and/or by using HTTP/2, which allows interleaving of the replies.
Things change if you have a streaming application, such as video. Watching security cameras in real time requires at least a certain amount of bandwidth, but if the RTT is 10ms or 1s, you may not even notice.
Video streaming such as Netflix or Youtube uses a protocol called DASH, which builds on top of HTTP. DASH downloads the video in chunks and does buffering to some level, enough to give you time to download the next chunk at least. By this time, it will decide if it should download it from a higher or lower quality stream, considering the amount of buffer left and how long it thinks it will take to download the next ones. So delay and jitter affects the experience by very little but packet drops or corruptions may cause a chunk to take longer than expected to download, leading to degradation.
For VoIP, if the delay gets on any path gets above 250ms, it gets annoying because you don't know if it's silent because the other person is waiting for you to speak, thinking or what, so you start talking and suddenly the other person is also talking. It's recommended that it shouldn't be bigger than 150ms in any way. Jitter above 40ms will also cause degradation. VoIP applications will usually use a buffer only as large as to compensate the jitter that was detected during startup, so it keeps as real time as possible, though further jitter variations bigger than it will cause pauses on the stream. Packet drops will also cause degradation but the codec used will say how tolerant it will be to some drops.
Online gaming. Depends on which kind of game it is. If it is online chess you're probably just fine anyway, minding the web page itself. For first person shooters, you want to have the lowest delay as possible, preferably with a low jitter too.
Can I emulate this on a lab?
To that purpose, Linux has the tc queue discipline 'netem' for quite some time now. Netem is capable of emulating all the characteristics above and can be used even with veth tunnels between net namespaces, so testing can be very handy. Its manpage is very detailed and contains command examples on how to use them. There is also a good tutorial on the command line parameters at Linux Foundation website, to the point that it's not worth duplicating it here.
But which values should I use??
That is something that probably was left out of the manpage on purpose. Each link has its own characteristics, leading to specific values to be used. Then you have the multiple hops, which is nothing more than multiple links connected together, and you can have some pretty complex scenarios. Luckily, if this is your first time with such type of emulation, it probably means you don't need anything fancy. You can/should start with a simple configuration and evolve it as you see fit.
Below are some values, based on my experience, for WAN links that can be used as a starting point. Once those grow insufficient for you, it's recommended to look for scientific papers for more recommendations and/or do your own measurements. Note that you should also account for the remaining of the path, these are just for the last mile.
You can also use the information provided by AT&T here. They make available the current status and some past data too[3,4]. In  we can see that from New York to San Francisco it actually takes 64ms, with currently 0% drops.

Home > Newsroom > Mayor of Poole meets decorated naval veteran
The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Xena Dion, welcomed Lieutenant Commander Haskins Retired, a decorated naval veteran, to a private reception in the Mayor's Parlour.
During the visit Lt Cdr Haskins Retired regaled the Mayor with details of his naval exploits that earned him two medals of honour.
Lt Cdr Haskins Retired joined the Royal Navy when he was about 13 years of age starting out on their training ship HMS Conway. He remains a member of The Conway Club. At the age of 17, he found himself sailing along the Normandy Beaches on a top secret mission for which he was subsequently awarded the French Legion of Honour, the highest French order for military and civil merits.
At 18 years of age Lt Cdr Haskins Retired was on another secret mission way above the Arctic Circle protecting an important convoy of supply ships as they sailed into Russian waters. He was delighted earlier this year to receive a visit from the Russian Ambassador who awarded him the Ushakov Medal, their highest honour reflecting the importance of this mission.
Lt Cdr Haskins Retired, said: "I was very surprised by the visit from the Russian Ambassador as it came completely out of the blue. I was absolutely delighted to be decorated for my services after all these years."
After leaving the Royal Navy, Lt Cdr Haskins Retired joined the New Zealand Navy and led their navigation teams for 10 years. During his illustrious career he has seen the incredible evolution of navigational equipment and technology and his expertise in navigation is world renowned.
Councillor Xena Dion, Mayor of Poole, said: "It was a total honour to have met Lt Cdr Haskins Retired and to have listened to his fascinating stories. We talked a lot about pre-technology navigation and particularly the abilities of the Pacific Islanders whose navigation expertise from the stars and seas is phenomenal."
Lt Cdr Haskins Retired lives in Branksome Park with his wife. They are about to celebrate their 70th anniversary after meeting in Bangor at a dance he had organised.

The Fall of Trust, the Rise of Populist Action
Tonia Ries / January 15, 2017
Post right
The 2017 Edelman TRUST BAROMETER documents a direct link between trust in institutions — or the lack of it — and the populist movements that have led to the overthrow of established governments and treaties in multiple countries over the last year.
The global Trust Index fell three points in the last year, the steepest decline we have ever documented. It is also the broadest decline: 21 of the 28 countries we survey lost trust in the four institutions of government, business, media and NGOs to do what is right. Government and media are both distrusted; business, at 52 percent trust, is barely above the line of distrust; NGOs at 53 percent have lost their long-held substantial lead as the most trusted institution.
Once our trust in the institutions that comprise the societal and economic system erodes to such low levels, it brings the whole system into question. Do people believe the system is fair? No. Do they believe that their hard work will be rewarded, and that their children will have a better future? No. Do they have confidence in their current leadership to solve problems and address these systemic problems? No.
Do they want change? Yes.
The majority of the global population today — 53 percent — does not believe the system is working for them. Only 15 percent believe the system is still working, and one-third are uncertain. In some countries, more than two-thirds of the population believe the system is broken. France, Italy (both 72 percent), Mexico, South Africa, Spain (all at 67 percent), Poland (64 percent), Brazil, Colombia, Germany (62 percent) are all at these elevated levels.
Once the people have lost faith in the system that is supposed to regulate a well-functioning society and protect us against a variety of economic and societal concerns, they become more vulnerable to fears. And in a kind of vicious cycle, these fears, in turn, can further erode their trust in the institutions that are failing to address them, which further undermines their faith in the system.
The 2017 Trust Barometer found a significant relationship between those who held fears — fear of corruption, globalization, immigration, the pace of change and innovation, and changing social values — and those who believe the system is broken. For example, among those who fear the effects of globalization, 79 percent also believe the system is broken, leaving them with a sense that not only are they being left out of the benefits of globalization, but also unprotected against its potential downsides.
If you look at the list of 10 countries where a majority of the population believe the system is failing them, and where an above-average percentage of the population hold multiple fears, the list reads like a "who's who" of countries where the people have taken action against established systems. The list includes the U.K. (Brexit), the U.S. (the election of Trump), Italy (the rejection of reforms and a change in government), Brazil (an impeached president), and Colombia (the rejection of the government's peace treaty). The loss of belief in the system provides the context in which a variety of fears can spur people to act.
In Poland, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands (colored yellow in the chart), people have lost faith in the system but have not yet developed above-average levels of fears around multiple issues. These countries are on notice, since a population that feels unprotected also becomes more vulnerable to the fears that can ultimately lead to some kind of populist action.
Note that this phenomenon is specific to Western-style democracies, with the most intense levels in Western Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. In some less-democratic areas of the world, distrust is being expressed through the emergence of dissent and opposing voices.
Unless institutions and their leaders in these countries work to restore people's trust as well as their belief that the system is serving their needs, populist movements will continue to flare and intensify.

The Petitioning System in Iran
State, Society and Power Relations in the Late 19th Century
Iranica
pages/dimensions: XI, 246 pages, 18 schw.-w. Faks.
binding: Book (Hardback)
dimensions: 17.00 × 24.00 cm
Oriental Studies » Iranian Studies » Law
Filing petitions to the ruler was a common practice in the history of the Middle East. But despite its social and political importance, the institution of mazalim, the so called "Investigation of Complaints," has still not been subjected to adequate investigation, neither its normative regulations and regional settings, nor the petitions themselves, as a source for political, economic, social and administrative history, the petitioning system in pre-modern and modern Iran being no exception. In contrast to royal decrees or official historiography, these petitions reflect complaints of people from all social strata, men and women, farmers, religious people and state officials, urban and rural population, including nomads. The petitions thus express the perspective of common people, their desires and grievances about tax collectors and governors, about the malfunctioning of the legal system and the royal administration. This book is based on a sample of petitions which were submitted to Nasir al-Din Shah between 1301/1883 and 1303/1886 and contains the texts of a selection of these petitions pertaining to the year 1301/1883–1884 as well as their classification and an analysis of the role and functioning of this institution.

Pankstraße is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U8. It was opened on 5 October 1977 (Rümmler) with the line's extension from Gesundbrunnen to Osloer Straße. The station's name derives from its location: It sits under the intersection of Pankstraße and Badstraße.

The actual spelling of the station's name is under debate. The German orthographic rules call for the spelling "Pankstraße", but the signs inside the station spell "Pankstrasse", acceptable if in capital letters, but not in lower case as used.

Like the station Siemensdamm (Berlin U-Bahn), the station is constructed as a "Multi Purpose Facility". It is prepared and partially stocked to be used as an NBC shelter. It has an emergency kitchen and a filtered ventilation system.  It is specified to sustain 3339 people for 14 days.

Tears. Hot, passionate, hurtful tears. Each one of my children struggled today, from the first little one walking home from the bus to my oldest crawling in bed at 11:00 p.m. I listened to each one's story. Each one wrestling with their own trials.
Compassion has not been a strong suit in my life. I started reading a book yesterday called "Discovering your God-given Gifts" and I am pretty sure compassion won't be one of mine. I often approach problems with a "stuck it up and get through it" attitude. But yesterday, that is not what my children needed. They needed me to hug them and ask if I could call and chat with a teacher. They needed me to to hug them and get out a calculator and try to figure out math problems that I haven't done for 30+ years. They needed me to listen as they poured out their heart of a teenager in a toxic society – a world gone mad. It is so easy for me to get wrapped up in my world – the goings on in my day – and look right past the pains of those who silently carry their backpacks; backpacks sometimes filled with anxiety, stress and fear.
Lord, help me today to "carry one another's burdens" like Galatians 6:2 calls me to. Help me to pray, hug, listen, kiss and remember what it is like to be one of your's in the thick of the battle of growing up. Lord, help me to remember the tears that fall on my shoulder and not forget to hold them up today.

The IOSH Magazine did an exclusive interview with Mr Kevin Myers (IALI President), where he shared his experiences and insights on OSH. He was interviewed as an individual covering his experience and career in the UK Health and Safety Executive as well as in IALI. Read the article here!
The 15th IALI Congress and General Assembly was held on 7-8 Sept 2017 at Village Hotel Changi, Singapore. Heads and representatives from close to 30 countries and international organisations attended this two-day event.
ILO is inviting interested parties to submit their applications for the following Call of expression of interest: Chief, Labour Administration, Labour Inspection and Occupational Safety and Health Branch, (D1), ILO Geneva (Call/D/2013/12).
For further information and details on how to apply, candidates are encouraged to visit the ILO recruitment website.
The job description is available online to download.
The closing date for applications is 22 September 2013.
IALI is pleased to announce that our President Ms Michele Patterson, Secretary-General Mr Kevin Myers and IALI Vice-President Mr Ho Siong Hin will all be speaking at the Singapore Workplace Safety and Health Conference 2012. We are delighted to be contributing to this premier platform for workplace health and safety (WSH) stakeholders across the region. the Singapore WSH Conference is poised once again to bring together WSH professionals, business leaders and government officials to learn about latest trends and developments impacting WSH and its practice.
The conference is expected to bring together more than 700 delegates from across the region and industries as businesses and organisations partake in the paradigm shift and embrace WSH as a value-add for the business instead of being merely compliance with regulation.
With the theme "Changing Landscapes, Shaping a Progressive WSH culture", the Singapore WSH Conference 2012 endeavours to be a dynamic congregation of thought leaders who will share their insights and experiences, and contextualise the impact of changes in the industry. There will also be a focus on how to uncover unlimited business opportunities by progressively instilling and developing a strong, pervasive WSH culture within businesses.
The IALI Forum 2011 has just been published and is now available to view on the IALI website. It contains news of IALI members' activities and initiatives to promote good standards of occupational health and safety and effective labour inspection worldwide.
For the first time, the IALI Forum has been produced as an online exclusive, interactive publication. Users can follow links in the articles to further information and other items of interest.
The International Association of Labour Inspection is pleased to once again have the opportunity to participate as a welcoming partner in The 6th China International Forum on Work Safety to be held in Beijing in September 2012, co-hosted by the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The theme of the 2012 conference, People First, Safe Development will provide a forum to consider healthy, safe and decent work practices with a particular focus on topical issues associated with social and economic development. It will present the opportunity to explore the impacts – both positive and negative - such progress can have on working lives and to exchange knowledge and examine examples of good practice from around the world.
This year, the 6th International Forum on Work Safety will also include a technical session on OSH Inspection Practice—in collaboration with IALI and ILO, featuring speakers from China, IALI and the ILO. IALI is very pleased to have the opportunity to work in cooperation with SAWS and the ILO on presenting this session where we will examine the importance of good governance over the implementation of OSH standards. Effective inspection provides the means by which each country can have confidence that these standards are being implemented successfully.

The evaluation of the Joint German Strategy on Occupational Safety and Health (Joint OSH Strategy) enters into its operational phase. The contract for the implementation of the evaluation was signed and the scientific and socio-political advisory council convened for its first meeting on 1. July 2010 in Hamburg.
The advisory council is asked to critically reflect the implementation of the evaluation and to advise the bodies of the Joint OSH Strategy - the German government, the Federal States and the Statutory Accident Insurance Institutions – from a national and international perspective.
"An external view is indispensable for the successful evaluation of our OSH Strategy. Therefore, we appreciate it very much that you accepted your appointment as members of the advisory council and are willing to support our ambitious project with your expertise and international experience", Mr Ernst-Friedrich Pernack, chairman of the evaluation steering group, explicated in his opening speech.
The advisory council is composed of seven nationally and internationally recognized experts in the fields of social policy, occupational safety and health, and evaluation methodology.
The objectives of the evaluation of the Joint OSH Strategy as well as the requirements for the evaluation implementation plan have been the main subjects of the councils meeting in Hamburg. As the evaluation will be carried out by an external contractor, the drafting of the implementation plan is a key element for a proper implementation process and will be due in September.
Responsible bodies for the Joint German OSH Strategy as the national strategy in the field of safety and health at work are the German Federal Government, the Federal States, and the Statutory Accident Insurance Institutions. The mission of the Joint German Occupational Safety and Health Strategy is to maintain, improve and promote the safety and health of workers by means of an efficient and systematic implementation of occupational safety and health supplemented by workplace health promotion measures.
By evaluating the achievement of the strategys objectives Germany follows the example of other EU Member States which also have implemented evaluation procedures for their OSH strategies.

Q: On the construction of an angle bisector only with an straightedge
Given only an angle and a straightedge, I was wondering if it is possible to construct the angle bisector. Please think of the straightedge as a line/segment rather than the normal ruler.

This problem seems easier in the projective plane (no issues regarding parallel lines). The problem could somehow be related to Pappus's Theorem, although I doubt it. There is something, however, that sounds more promising: the construction of harmonic conjugates, and we can definitively deal with that using only a straightedge.

This image taken from Wikipedia is the one that made me think that harmonic conjugates could be helpful. (Moreover, as I said before, they can be constructed with a straightedge.) Of course, I accept other methods and viewpoints ;)
Notwithstanding, please note that I do not even know if this construction is possible, so you might also find some contradictions to its constructibility.

A: Construction with straightlines is preserved during the affine transformation. However the bisector is not preserved, otherwise bisector in triangles would coincide with medians.

WHAT IS THE POLYFORMER INSERT FOR?
All aquabocci drains include a high density polyformer foam insert inside the PVC drain base.
This will keep drain base clean during tiling.
Allow you to pour concrete around the drain base on driveways.
HOW DOES THE JOINER WORK?
Do not use silicon to glue the joiner, end caps or spigots to the PVC drain base.
Use PVC solvent cement to glue the joiner into place and allow the glue to set.
The U-Shaped joiner has one open side which should be installed face down to allow the water to pass through.
The purpose of the joiner is to link together straight sections of the drain base and to link corner pieces to the straight sections.
Push together 2 sections of the drain base and then use PVC solvent cement to glue them together.
Once this is done place the joiner inside the drain base so it is overlapping between each section.
After the glue has set it is recommended that you check the exposed joint between each length is correctly sealed to allow the water to pass through.
When installing the joiner on the A100 drain use the packing bar to push the sides of the joiner against the outside walls of the drain base. This will hold the joiner in position whilst the glue is drying.
HOW DO I GLUE ON THE END CAPS?
Use PVC solvent cement to glue the end caps into place and allow the glue to set.
The purpose of the end cap is to stop water from passing out the end of the drain.
The end cap is not water tight and should be properly sealed with PVC solvent cement.
CAN I USE AQUABOCCI DRAINS ON A DRIVEWAY?
For more info GO to the MENU at the top of this page and select PRODUCTS to view the CSIRO Vehicle test results.
Throughout the design process we use technologies which have enabled us to develop cutting edge products such as the Aquabocci WunderGrip, a slip free lid that is available on all of our lineal grates. Aquabocci's innovative WunderGrip achieves the R13 slip-rating from the CSIRO. The lid of the drain has been treated using a unique technology to create a special, slip-free surface that's perfect for bathrooms, swImming pools, driveways and balconies.

DO I DRILL OUT THE HOLE TO INSTALL SPIGOT?
Do not use silicon to glue the spigot into the drain base.
CAN I INSTALL DRAINS ON COMPRESSED SHEET?
If you are installing the drain against the wall then cut off one of the plastic wings on the PVC drain base to allow you to push the drain closer to the wall.
Once the tile has been installed it should finish 4mm above the top of the PVC drain base. The reason for this is because the alloy drain lid is 4mm thick and it sits on the edge of the PVC Channel For more info GO to the MENU at the top of this page and select PRODUCTS to view the installation guide drawings.
CAN I INSTALL AQUABOCCI DRAINS WITH VINYL?
Installation on Vinyl with waterproof membrane.
You will need to use packers under the vinyl so that it will finish 4mm higher that the PVC channel.
Use silicon to seal the joint between the PVC drain base and Vinyl.
HOW DOES THE CORNER PIECE WORK?
All of our corner pcs are cut on a 45 degree angle ( mitre ) for fast installation.
To link the corner to the straight sections simply use a joiner to link it together.
DOES CORNER PIECE HAVE A MITRE CUT?
WHAT SPIGOT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
40mm and 70mm are our standard size spigots.
HOW DOES SPIGOT GO INTO FLOOR WASTE?
A connector should be used to seal the spigot to the floor waste or stormwater pipe.
HOW DO I JOIN EACH LENGTH TOGETHER?
To Join each length together you should push the lengths together and use PVC solvent cement ( plumbers glue ) to glue the joiner over the joint between each length inside the tray of the drain. The Joiner should have the open section at the bottom side which will allow the water to pass between each length.
CAN I CUT THE ALLOY LID TO LENGTH?
The Alloy drain lid and the PVC drain base are designed to be cut to size on site. The alloy lid is easily cut with a drop saw with an " aluminium blade " The PVC drain base can be cut with a drop saw that has a" timber blade or aluminium blade " attached and also with a hand held hacksaw.

VIRTUALITIES AND REALITIES is the theme of this year's RIXC Art Science festival in Riga, Latvia, that aims to establish a space for artistic interventions and conversations about the complex implications of immersive technologies.
RIXC Festival is internationally renowned gathering for artists and scholars working at the intersection of arts, digital humanities and science. This year's festival programme features Public Keynotes, the 2nd Open Fields Conference, Exhibitions, Performances and AR/VR Showcases.
The main festival events will take place from October 19–21, 2017, on the main axes of in Riga's art venues – the Conference will take place in the Art Academy of Latvia, and the Latvian National Museum of Art, while the exhibitions – in kim? Contemporary Art Centre and RIXC Gallery spaces.
Immersive technologies coupled with superior virtual environments, artificial intelligence algorithms, faster processors, and biometrics are launching a new era in virtual experiences, entertainment and story-telling. At the same time these technologies have the potential for reinforcing stereotypes, contributing to massive economic and social disruptions, and implementing new systems of invasive monitoring and control.
What do these new developments in VR/AR mean for education, entertainment, social policy, and systems of codified knowledge? Like their predecessors the telephone, television, and mobile phone, what are the impending new vistas and reduced horizons?
Biometrics and the uploading and tracking of personal data spans areas from healthcare to advertising, with implications for law, criminal justice, entertainment (gaming), education and sports. Machine learning and algorithms are harvesting and making use of big data in new and startling ways. Some of it allows pinpoint accuracy in determining issues of public health, economics, climate change, story-telling, political leanings and the migration of populations. What does all this data combined with new technologies mean? What are some current and future artistic strategies that deal with this? Combined with the acceleration of VR/AR and technologies of immersion, how will societies react?
Taking place in the framework of RISK CHANGE EU Creative Europe's project, various festival events will explore relations between "virtualities" and "realities" in our post-media society. The Open Fields conference will discuss the socio-cultural and neurobiological impacts of virtual and augmented reality, and other immersive technologies. The conference participants will also look at the places and movements from a socio-political perspective, the mapping and charting of migrating cultures particularly people and their data traces.
The conference will be complemented by the festival exhibition that will explore the changing role of art in society, its transformative potential, and its relations to the sciences, especially focusing on neomateriality, new aesthetics and other critical qualities of the post-digital.
Venue: The Art Academy of Latvia / Address: Kalpaka bulvaris 13 (from the park side).
17.00 – Closing Session: OPEN FIELDS BOOK-REVIEW, presentations by authors (Pecha Kucha format), and "RENEWABLE FUTURES" (Acoustic Space Vol. 16) book discussion.

Q: Rails Associations push (collection<<) Does pushing an entity to a it's parent collection causes the collection to be loaded?
e.g.:
Parent.childs << a_child

Is the parent.childs "array" now loaded with ALL the childs or just "a_child" ?  i.e. will a SQL "select * from childs where parent_id = ?" statement will be executed before adding to the collection?
EDIT:
http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.3/ActiveRecord/Associations/CollectionAssociation/concat_records seems to call "add_target" BEFORE calling "insert_record" which adds the entity to the @target array...

A: No (thank god)! Parent.childs is a Proxy and '<<' will just trigger the creation/update of a_child
More info on How do rails association methods work?
Also in the rails comments of associations/collection_associations.rb

You need to be careful with assumptions regarding the target: The
  proxy does not fetch records from the database until it needs them,
  but new ones created with +build+ are added to the target. So, the
  target may be non-empty and still lack children waiting to be read
  from the database. If you look directly to the database you cannot
  assume that's the entire collection because new records may have been
  added to the target, etc.

A quick check on my console confirmed there the children aren't loaded.
parent.children << child; nil

=> only parent and child where loaded....


Most of us know about basically two ways of saying goodbye to the dead: cremations and burials. Dig a little deeper though (pun intended), and you'll be surprised to know about some of the strange, creative and straight up bizarre funerals that different cultures around the world practise. From offering the bodies to vultures, to beating the corpse to a pulp, there's some crazy ways to dispose of the dead.
Here are some weird funeral rituals from around the world!
Many people in South Korea opt to compress the remains of the dead person into gem-like beads in different colours which are then displayed at home.
In the old days, the Melanesians of Papua New Guinea and the Wari people of Brazil would eat the dead in order to expel the fear and mystery that surrounds the concept of death. The Yanomami people also practise this.
A company in the US called Eternal Reefs compresses remains into a sphere or reef ball that is attached to a reef in the ocean, providing a habitat for sea life. Probably leads to some curious fish!
Once every seven years, the Malagasy people of Madagascar exhume the bodies of loved ones, wrap them in cloth and dance with the corpse sacks. It probably smells pretty bad, so they spray it with wine and tell stories of their families.
In Ghana, people like to be buried in something that represents their lives. These include coffins shaped like planes for pilots, fish for fishermen and a Mercedes for a businessman!
Many, especially Buddhists, sometimes cut the body up into pieces and leave them on a hill for the birds to feast on. Buddhists see dead bodies as empty vessels and consider these sky burials an act of charity and compassion.
Among the Dani People, the death of a loved one meant that any women and children related to the deceased had to cut off some of their fingers. This was done to drive away spirits, and is now banned.
With big horn band culture at the heart of New Orleans, it's not a surprise that they play music even in death. The funeral procession is led by a big horn band, which plays sad tunes at first, followed by upbeat jazz and blues numbers accompanied by furious dancing.
The Benguet of Northwestern Philippines blindfold their dead and place them next to the main entrance of the house.
The Tinguian people of the Philippines dress bodies in their best clothes, sit them on a chair and place a lit cigarette in their lips.
The Caviteño, who live near Manila, bury their dead in a hollowed-out tree trunk. The tree is selected a while before the person's death.
The Apayo, who live in the north Philippines, bury their dead under the kitchen.
In this method, you skip the embalming processes and get biodegradable, woven-willow caskets, which decompose into the ground.
The corpse is washed with bull urine, after which it is visited by a holy dog, or "Sagdid". It is then placed atop the tower of silence, where it swiftly devoured by vultures. These vultures seem to be getting pretty well fed!
The Haida people of North America had a special ritual for the death of a chief or shaman. The body would be crushed to a pulp with clubs and put in a suitcase box. The box would then be placed in a mortuary totem pole in front of the deceased person's house.

Why We Would Recommend Sedation During Your Appointment?
We know that going to the dentist can be frightening for some individuals. It's called dental phobia, and it's something millions of Americans experience. At our practice, we use sedation to help our patients feel anxiety-free and relaxed during their treatment. If you suffer from dental phobia, Dr. Abedini may recommend one of several types of sedation after reviewing your medical history.
Nitrous oxide is commonly called laughing gas. There are several reasons to use nitrous oxide rather than complete sedation. It has been the primary way that doctors have helped relieve patients from anxiety. The gas is distributed through a face mask, and you inhale it through your nose. As the anesthetic begins to work, you'll feel a bit groggy and de-sensitized. Patients who choose to use nitrous are able to resume normal daily activities by the time the treatment is finished.
Oral Sedation does not require the use of needles, which many patients are anxious about. There are a variety of different medications that we provide here at All Smiles Dental Group. It will be up to your medical history and the recommendation of Dr. Abedini to decide which one will be your best choice. Oral sedation requires that you have a ride home from your appointment. You'll want to have a trustworthy family member or friend take you home.
IV Sedation is a stronger form of sedation. If Dr. Abedini recommends this type of sedation, he would administer a liquid sedative through an IV directly into the patient's bloodstream. Like oral sedation, IV sedation requires that you have a ride home from your appointment.
No matter what your dental experience has been in the past, we are confident that your experience here at All Smiles Dental Group will be a comfortable and anxiety-free one. If you suffer from dental anxiety, please give us a call at 562-425-0545 or email us. We're confident we have a solution that will relieve you of dental anxiety and help your experience here at All Smiles Dental Group be pleasant.


One of my students named Ellen Son, who was fourteen years old at the time, was told to get a scoliosis surgery; a scoliosis surgery is required when your vertebrae is bent to 39 or 40 degrees. A scoliosis surgery fuses or joins the vertebre along the curve with metal supporting frames which would correct your vertebrae and make it straightup. However, the disadvantage of this surgery is that you can not bend your vertebrae anymore, and this would ruin a girl's life when a girl can have a brighter future ahead of her and would have to get married sometime in her life in the future. This was the reason why my student's parents did not want this surgery and her parents had a tiny little hope because Ellen's vertebrae was bent to 38 degrees. Their parents tried all the other method such as yoga, acupuncture, excersices and many other method where two years later her spine became straight, and she no longer needed the scoliosis surgery.
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine where the surgery uses metal supporting frames to fuse or join the vertebre along the curve to straighten up your vertebrae.
it is very good medical record. i want take by talk with you for next time. thanks.

I am imagine that surgery is scream,.
Interesting story. So it was cured by exercise and not surgery? If so, that is very encouraging.
No long-term, prospective controlled studies exist to support the hypothesis that surgical intervention for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is superior to natural history. There is no medical necessity for surgery based upon the literature.
After i read this medical record , At first i felt so sorry for her but the end her spine became an normal spine that was so great. I just want to tell to my friends at here , I had some problems about my neck , It was not bad as her had. but It was really bother me all the time ,but after the correct exercises , it helped a lot .
Great try at making a comparison here. Try something like... It was not as bad as what she had.

> "Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie's Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.

> "Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good."

Trust me: you should believe the hype about Children of Blood and Bone.

At first, the book looks daunting due to its size, but open it and you'll discover an intricate, carefully crafted world of magic and treachery. It hooked me instantly and didn't let me go until the final cliff-hanger.

Every character in the story is memorable and strong. Adeyemi's use of multiple perspectives really strengthens the narrative and allows each character to develop over the course of the novel.

This is YA fantasy at its best: gripping, awesome and effortlessly diverse.


we will summarize advantages and disadvantages of C++, Java, and Python.
It's useful to know how your language varies against others.
so you could learn it or improve your performance with it.
It's by far the most popular language in current competitions.
nearly every team uses C++ as their primary language.
And why is it popular?
Mostly because of its performance.
Basic operations in C++ are much faster than in other languages.
So, if your program is C++ you can be very sure it will pass the time limits.
Of course, if the solution itself is optimal now.
But, there is also disadvantages to it.
You require great care and debugging skills when using C++.
Because, cases of undefined behavior could be anywhere.
you'll only see that it's says information fault without any details about it.
So it might be very hard to debug.
but people also use it with great success even on the highest levels.
like on half the times.
And sometimes, there even some problems are even adjusted for Java.
and for Java, three seconds.
And so, Java is totally equalized to C++ in terms of performance.
Java has another good standard library they're having things which you won't find in C++.
is that you need to implement fast reading by itself.
Next, code rules in Java are more pedantic than in C++.
For example, function is avoid return type must actually return something.
And also, there are additional checks.
For example, for other indexes.
And all of that makes Java sometimes less vulnerable for certain kinds of bugs.
Also, progress in Java tend to be longer.
Because it's like a little verbose language.
it will not harm you very much.
The main issue here is performance.
Problems in Python tend to be like one or two times slower than programs in C++ and Java.
So, some problems couldn't be solved with Python at all.
for example, sorted set or bitset.
programming language where it's rather convenient to write programs.
And so programs could be a lot shorter than similar in C++ and Java.
their primary programming language for you but for some problems, it will do very well.
like implementation problems of certain guides or math problems.
Let's summarize what we've learned in this lesson.
First, language feature a lot of useful tools.
And you will help yourself greatly if you learn how to use them.
Second, we've seen some common pitfalls for Java, specially in Python.
And I think you just need to know so you won't get caught.
And we've compared different languages.
and it could save some time on debugging or implementing.
So that's all for this lesson and good luck with languages.
