Derek Smith, who responded to the scene, says he thought Floyd was dead when he approached and noticed Floyd wasn't moving
April 1, 2021 Edgepage122
Paramedic describes what he saw when approaching Floyd at the scene: "I thought he was dead"
Paramedic Derek Smith is testifying now in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who is charged in the death of George Floyd.
Smith testified that on May 25, 2020, he arrived on the scene, and saw Floyd on the ground and three officers on top of him.
"I walked up to the individual, noticed he wasn't moving. I didn't see any chest rise or fall on this individual," Smith said.
When asked to describe Floyd's overall condition he said, "in lay terms, I thought he was dead."
Smith said that when he checked Floyd, his pupils were "large" and "dilated," and he did not detect a pulse.
He said he did all he could do to try and revive Floyd.
"[H]e's a human being and I was trying to give him a second chance at life," Smith said.
Smith is the second paramedic to testify today. Paramedic Seth Zachary Bravinder, who also provided medical assistance to Floyd, said that when he arrived at the scene, he could tell from a distance that Floyd wasn't breathing.
Watch here:
What's happened so far today in the Chauvin trial
Witness testimony has resumed in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who is charged in the death of George Floyd.
Earlier today, jurors heard testimony from Floyd's girlfriend and a Minneapolis paramedic who provided medical aid to Floyd.
If you're just reading in, here's what's happened today in court:
Courteney Ross, Floyd's girlfriend, testified she has been in a relationship with him since August 2017 and they were together until his death. Ross, who was the 13th witness for the prosecution, provided details about Floyd and their relationship. She described Floyd as "a momma's boy," saying he was devastated and "broken" when his mother died. Ross said he tested positive for Covid-19 in "late March" and that he had been quarantining. She added that his roommates also had Covid-19.
Ross testified that they both struggled with opioid addiction. Prosecutors were the first to ask about opioid use during the trial to get ahead of some of the defense team's arguments. Defense attorneys plan to make the case that Floyd died of unrelated medical issues and drug use, and they have argued Chauvin was following proper police protocol.
Paramedic Seth Zachary Bravinder, who provided medical assistance to George Floyd, told the court that when he arrived at the scene, he could tell from a distance that Floyd wasn't breathing. He also said he stopped the ambulance en route to the hospital so he could assist his partner in giving Floyd aid after he "flatlined" — a term he used to describe when "your heart isn't really doing anything at that moment."
Witness to invoke the Fifth Amendment: The man who was sitting in a car with George Floyd when police approached and removed them from the vehicle says he will not testify in the trial. Morries Hall will invoke the Fifth Amendment and not testify if he is called to the stand, according to a filing submitted by his public defender Adrienne Cousins.

The court is in a lunch break
The jury is now taking a one hour lunch recess.
Paramedic Seth Zachary Bravinder, who provided medical assistance to George Floyd, testified before the break.
He told the court that when he arrived at the scene, he could tell from a distance that Floyd wasn't breathing.
He also said he stopped the ambulance en route to the hospital so he could assist his partner in giving Floyd aid after he "flatlined" — a term he used to describe when "your heart isn't really doing anything at that moment."
Paramedic says cardiac monitor showed Floyd "flatlined" on the way to the hospital
A paramedic who responded to help George Floyd after former officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck said that on the way to a hospital, he stopped the ambulance so he could assist his partner in giving Floyd aid.
Seth Zachary Bravinder, a paramedic in Minneapolis, said that after he stopped the ambulance, he realized Floyd has "flatlined."
"I remember walking in and the cardiac monitor was showing asystole," Bravinder said.
He explained that asystole is the medical term for "flatlined" — "basically tells us your heart isn't really doing anything at that moment."
"It's not a good sign," Bravinder added. "Basically just because your heart isn't doing anything at that moment. There's not — it's not pumping blood. So it's not — it's not a good sign for a good outcome."
Paramedic who responded to scene says he could tell from a distance that Floyd wasn't breathing
Paramedic Seth Zachary Bravinder, who provided medical assistance to George Floyd, testified that from a distance, he could tell Floyd wasn't breathing.
After arriving to the scene, he got out from the ambulance and headed to the back, and said "from what I could see where I was at I didn't — I didn't see any breathing or movement or anything like that."
Asked if Floyd appeared unresponsive, Bravinder said, "from what I could tell just standing from a distance, yes."
Bravinder said that he had his hands near Floyd's head to prevent it "from slamming down on the pavement" as they moved him unto a stretcher and into the ambulance.
The paramedic described Floyd's state and head when he was being transferred.
"I guess limp would be the best description. He wasn't — he was unresponsive and wasn't holding his head up or anything like that," Bravinder said.
A Minneapolis paramedic is now testifying
The trial has resumed after a 20 minute break.
The prosecution is now questioning Seth Zachary Bravinder, a paramedic in Minneapolis.
Courteney Ross, George Floyd's girlfriend, finished her testimony just before the break.
Floyd's girlfriend said they both suffered from opioid addiction. Here's what to know about the US epidemic.
Experts say the United States is in the throes of an opioid epidemic.
It was already a national crisis but experts fear Covid-19 could be making things worse.
Walk-in clinics and syringe exchange programs have been closed. Community support groups are meeting virtually.
Some who struggle with substance abuse are homeless or incarcerated and can't comply with social distancing guidelines, while those who can are left isolated and at risk. On top of all that, the pandemic is causing massive stress — a primary driver of relapse.
Some facts about the opioid epidemic:
An estimated 10.1 million Americans aged 12 and older misused opioids in 2019, including 9.7 million prescription pain reliever abusers and 745,000 heroin users.
Opioids are drugs formulated to replicate the pain-reducing properties of opium. Prescription painkillers like morphine, oxycodone and hydrocodone are opioids. Illegal drugs like heroin and illicitly made fentanyl are also opioids. The word "opioid" is derived from the word "opium."
In 2018, there were 67,367 overdose deaths in the United States and 46,802 of those overdose deaths involved opioids.
Common opioids include:
Opioids such as morphine and codeine are naturally derived from opium poppy plants more commonly grown in Asia, Central America and South America. Heroin is an illegal drug synthesized from morphine.
Hydrocodone and oxycodone are semi-synthetic opioids, manufactured in labs with natural and synthetic ingredients.
Fentanyl is a fully synthetic opioid, originally developed as a powerful anesthetic for surgery. It is also administered to alleviate severe pain associated with terminal illnesses like cancer. The drug is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Just a small dose can be deadly. Illicitly produced fentanyl has been a driving factor in the number of overdose deaths in recent years.
Methadone is another fully synthetic opioid. It is commonly dispensed to recovering heroin addicts to relieve the symptoms of withdrawal.

The court is on a break
Courteney Ross, George Floyd's girlfriend, finished her testimony and the court is in a 20 minute break.
The defense attorney, Eric Nelson, cross-examined her, and the prosecuting attorney then asked follow-up questions.

The prosecution's strategy in addressing Floyd's opioid addiction, according to a CNN legal analyst
From CNN's Aditi Sangal
As Courteney Batya Ross testified that she and George Floyd struggled with opioid addiction, CNN legal analyst Laura Coates explained the prosecution's strategy behind addressing this fact — even though it may seem to cast Floyd in a negative light.
"It's because as the prosecutor, you want to present and address and resolve these bad facts. You don't want to have the defense be able to say, 'Hey, jury, why didn't they tell you about this? Here are the things they don't want you to know.' Sprinkling seeds of doubt," Coates explained.
Coates added that the prosecution is addressing it so they can "package it essentially" to say, "'So what? He has an opioid addiction.' And of course in America, we view opioid abuse very differently than we did even decades ago. How does this actually impact Chauvin's decision to act?"

Public health implications from COGS and potential for risk stratification and screening.
Burton H1, Chowdhury S, Dent T, Hall A, Pashayan N, Pharoah P.
The PHG Foundation led a multidisciplinary program, which used results from COGS research identifying genetic variants associated with breast, ovarian and prostate cancers to model risk-stratified prevention for breast and prostate cancers. Implementing such strategies would require attention to the use and storage of genetic information, the development of risk assessment tools, new protocols for consent and programs of professional education and public engagement.


A sensor measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or an instrument. Fiber optics are very often an essential component of sensors in environments with high temperatures or in explosive surroundings. We also offer custom tailored software, an additional key component for any sensor. Lighting and Imaging is your professional contact when it comes to design sensors that are easily to install and operate. We focus on fiber optical systems to determine temperature, flow or pressure.
For the quality control of print products like newspapers it is necessary to precisely determine the position of the paper and the quality of the print in the printing lane. For this purpose a test pattern on the processed paper is illuminated and the reflected light is analysed. Due to the lack of space and fire protection requirements this analysis often takes place in a external analysing unit. Flexible light guides from SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging provide the ideal illumination of the test patterns and the transfer of reflected light to the external analyzing unit.


Few of us are ever as dedicated to a goal as the addict is to seeking an alternative to abstinence.
Compulsion is ordinarily defined in terms of an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way, even against your conscious wishes. Compulsive use of a substance is characterized by the potato chip syndrome– once you begin, it's increasingly difficult to stop. That's followed by loss of control and from there on to continued use in the face of mounting problems. Thus the 12 Step maxim about one being too many and a thousand not enough.
When your substance use is compulsive, it'll be easier to abstain altogether from certain substances than it will be to do a little bit, reassert control, and stop. There may be periods of apparent remission in this process, but sooner or later, signs of addiction re-emerge. It's mostly a matter of time.
Given that simple reality, abstinence is the logical remedy. But alcoholics and addicts are reluctant to renounce substances. As far as they're concerned, drinking or drug use still 'work', on some level. Or at least there's a fund of memories from the good old days when it did.
Every addict is tempted to search for an easier, softer alternative to abstinence. And there are plenty of folks out there willing to support that effort.
It's something of a Holy Grail in the pharmaceutical field: A medication that will restore the addict's control over substance use. Same with behaviorists: They're convinced it's just a matter of coming up with the correct protocol for reconditioning. Psychotherapists are often willing to help alcoholics 'understand' the causes of their drinking, presumably as a path to restored power of choice.
Do these strategies work? For a while, perhaps. Where they do, it's generally with those whose addictions can be characterized as comparatively mild. With more severe cases, they tend to bounce off, the way the alcoholic's own efforts did.
This does little to dampen the enthusiasm for further attempts. Few of us are ever as dedicated to a goal as the addict is to seeking an alternative to abstinence.


If you travel semi-often, there is a good chance that you had a connecting flight that you were worried about. Maybe your day started off perfect, but due to weather or mechanical issues at your departing airport, you are suddenly now in a time crunch to make your next flight.
While there isn't much you can do about the departure, there are some items you can do to help improve the odds of catching your connecting flight.
If you initially had a 3 hour layover, and suddenly you are facing a 10-15 minute layover, you will want to notify the flight crew. Most flight crews (on larger planes) will announce for all passengers to remain seated upon landing, and those passengers with short connections to deplane first. While many passengers don't follow these rules, it still helps avoid the mad rush towards the front door.
Almost every airline offers some form of inflight magazine, which usually contains a map of their hub or hubs. Chances are that the connecting flight you are on is through one of that carriers hubs. If you ask the flight crew what gate you should be arriving at, you can look at your ticket for the next flight, and determine the distance between the two gates. This way, upon exiting the plane, you know to turn left or right, and then RUN.
This is rare, but you can ask the crew to radio that you are on your way to the next flight. Sometimes gate agents will hold the flight for a few minutes (if they know the passengers are enroute to the gate area), which takes far less time than removing them from the manifest, removing their bag(s), and finding them new flight details for the one they missed.

Defence cluster ignites engagement
The University of Newcastle Defence Security and Innovation Cluster showcase has highlighted how the work of the University's top defence researchers is being applied to solve real life challenges.
The annual event encourages greater engagement between University of Newcastle (UON) researchers and the established defence industry in Newcastle and the Hunter region.
Through the development of a framework for collaboration, the Cluster aims to create an environment where new opportunities for innovative solutions and research breakthroughs can be translated into practice for the benefit of the defence sector.
Leading expert on Australian foreign and defence policies, Associate Professor Wayne Reynolds, said that UON had become a key player in the development of defence and security innovations and was working towards establishing some of Australia's largest collaborative defence research projects.
"The University of Newcastle has long been involved in teaching and research in the area of Australian defence," he said.
"Our impact includes recent citations of Newcastle research by the US Congressional Research Service, which influenced a renewal of cooperation in nuclear research; as well as a joint international project into Australia's role in the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and another on the history of terrorism.
"We have also had an official volume published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and a recent article about nuclear submarines and the Royal Australian Navy in Security Challenges, Australia's leading strategic studies journal.
"It is also important to note that the current head of mission to the UN and member of the Security Council, Gary Quinlan, was a history graduate of this University."

Recent Perspectives on Women's Suffrage
By Lukie Marriott
The 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was passed 100 years ago, in 1920. The library has a wealth of books and movies documenting the 80+ years of struggle leading up to the ratification. But what's special about the following, recently published titles, is that they include the often overlooked stories of minority women--Black, Native American, Mormon, and others--who actively campaigned for equality all across the country.
The Women's Suffrage Movement
An intersectional anthology of historical texts from the women's movement, this book recognizes the importance of including minority voices from that time. Edited by Sally Roesch Wagner, a preeminent scholar of the diverse backbone of the women's suffrage movement, and with an introduction by Gloria Steinem, this is a comprehensive and important book.

Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote
2019 by Ware, Susan
The history of how American women won the right to vote has been, for too long, presented as the work of a few iconic leaders, all white and native-born. Ware shines a light on the racism and eurocentrism of this narrative and instead gives us the stories of 19 women of different races, religions, and socioeconomic status who fought for equality all across the country.
Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All
2020 by Jones, Martha S.
It was mostly just white women who benefitted from the passage of the 19th Amendment. Black women would have to keep fighting for another 45 years until the 1965 Voting Rights Act afforded them full protection of their right to vote. Jones illuminates the work of Black women who called on America to realize its best ideals.
Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists: A Graphic History of Women's Fight for Their Rights
2019 by Kendall, Mikki

The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote
2018 by Weiss, Elaine F.
Though Weiss focuses elsewhere, she does include the too-often sidelined fight for racial equality and the nascent civil rights movement in this blow-by-blow account of the final showdown to achieve ratification. Ms Magazine calls this book "a genteel but bare-knuckled political thriller." You may indeed be surprised by the dirty political tactics attempted by different factions of the movement.

And as always, if it weren't for the endless moral support provided by @Tugster, @Miya and @Saint, and the constant derision from @Billdoor none of this would be possible.
Neverfire7 Is the list going to be updated? At least one novel I'm following is not on the list.
It would be helpful if the index is alphabetical (it's arranged by first letter, but under each letter it's all jumbled together).
Neverfire7 when will it be available on phone or ipad? Or can u make it available? Sry.
So you wants to replace novelupdates too..?
ace_cap Yes it'll definitely be updated. Just let me know which novel is missing and I'll add it.
PerpetualPhoenix My novel, links isn't on the list. Great job compiling everything.
PerpetualPhoenix That was fast. Thanks for the quick response.
"The Sage Who Transcended Samsara" is not on the list.
"The Adonis Next Door" leads to "Back Then, I Adored You." I'm not sure if I'm just missing something and maybe that's an alternative title? Anyway, it is listed on webnovel as the latter so that's the title that should be listed, I think.
BotwaCazador The stats are only for translations, not for originals.
Oh, I also noticed FMHM is listed simply as Hidden Marriage (HM) - that might cause some confusion. Just thought I'd bring that up.
Anyway, thanks for the compilation. Good job.
ace_cap Ah I see. I'll add those.
Well the titles used are the ones on Novel updates, but if that doesn't work too well I can get them changed. Also, the abbreviations are just the ones supplied on each novel's page on Webnovel.com; so new users can easily search if they didn't know them. For some though, yeah, I can manually change those.
Neverfire7 The stats are only for translations, not for originals.
SuperSilentSin Ah the number of views can be added soon.
PerpetualPhoenix per chapter or total?
reinesse It would be total views per novel (not per chapter).
Selege01 Peerless Martial God isn't on webnovel.com, so that wouldn't be on there.

Google Adwords Data Gone from Analytics?
Did your Google AnalyticsAccount suddenly stop reporting your Google Adwords Data?
Chances are you missed an announcement in February.. Need help? Give us a call.
On March 4th, we will be updating how Google Analytics imports AdWords data to improve security and provide greater control and convenience. This update will require that your AdWords and Analytics accounts are linked and that you have "Apply Cost Data" selected. We are proactively notifying Administrators of Analytics accounts that will be affected by this change (you either have auto-tagging enabled and/or have a linked account without cost data applied to some or all of your profiles).
If you are receiving AdWords traffic (e.g. Visits), but the AdWords reports in Google Analytics do not contain impression or click data (e.g. CPC, Impressions, ROI), then it is likely that AdWords and Analytics are not linked or the cost data option is turned off for that profile. The cost data import option is selected by default when linking your accounts; however, new profiles created after the linking process may not have cost data implemented.
Sign in to AdWords and click the Analytics tab.
When linking your accounts, keep the default "Apply Cost Data" box checked. AdWords cost data will now be applied to all of your current profiles.
From the Overview page, select an Analytics account to display all the profiles for that account.
Select desired profile and click "Edit".
View the Main Website Profile Information box to see if cost data is already applied.
If cost data is not applied, click 'Edit' from the upper right hand corner of the Main Website Profile Information box.
In the Edit Profile Information page, select the checkbox that says 'Apply Cost Data'.
Repeat these steps for each profile you wish to continue receiving AdWords cost data.
Please remember that you can only link one AdWords account to one Analytics account. If the Analytics account you wish to link to is not available, it is possible this Analytics account is already linked to another AdWords account. (If this is the case you can always unlink them and then link the desired ones.) Currently, due to auto-tagging, your Analytics account may be receiving data from more than one AdWords account although they are not linked. With the March 4th change, if you need to receive data from multiple AdWords cost sources these must all be applied to your profiles. If this is necessary, please read this FAQ. With cost data applied, please note that you will receive full AdWords cost data (visits, impressions, CPC, ROI, etc.) in your Analytics report.
We recommend that you make the changes outlined in this email to your Google Analytics account by March 3rd, 2009 to ensure your Analytics reports continue to receive AdWords data.

ALERT: In light of the directives on March 17th, 2020 from the County Public Health Official, all city public counters will be closed to the public for in person business until further notice after the close of business on March 18th, 2020. Online services may still be available during this time.
Projects may still be applicable for intake via email to DE@cityofsacramento.org
Payments may still be available via our online portal at https://aca-prod.accela.com/SACRAMENTO/
Figure 1: GIS Rendering of Subdivision through Final Map
The Development Engineering (DE) Section of Engineering Services is located at 300 Richards Boulevard. They work very closely with building plan review staff and review projects that are being implemented by private developers or individuals. These types of projects are called "private development projects," and are categorized in three general categories:
On-site – The on-site work is any work that is being performed on private property. Generally, on-site work is submitted through the Building Division and issued a building permit.
Off-site – The scope of work is within the public right-of-way (ROW). Generally, this includes curb, gutter, sidewalk, utilities, street lights, landscape strips, roads, medians, etc. Work that takes place within public utility easements on private property is also considered off-site work. DE will intake the appropriate application and is responsible for getting the permits issued.
Mapping - Property line changes that are required for lot subdivisions, adjusting the boundaries between existing lots, and vacation/abandonments of ROW or easements to adjoining property owners. Such property line changes are often needed prior to the issuance of on-site building permits.
DE is responsible for managing plan review and permit issuance for two types of permits for off-site work:
Residential Plan Check (RPC): Projects in which a final map is required. It should be noted that a large commercial development would be given the RPC record if a map is required for the project. An RPC will require the owner to enter into an agreement and post payment and performance bonds for the off-site improvement work per the requirements of the subdivision map act.
Commercial Plan Check (CPC): Projects where NO final maps are required for the project. A CPC will require the owner to enter into an agreement and post a performance bond for the off-site improvement work. A CPC is to be used rather than a minor encroachment permit when the scope of work is such that large public works requirements are necessary, such as large scale wet utility improvements, new street lights, or large amounts of curb, gutter and sidewalk and driveway replacements are proposed.
Construction Encroachment Permits are used to process minor improvements in the public right of way. Work can be performed under an Encroachment Permit if the scope of work is determined to be small enough that a major permit (plan check) is not necessary.
Driveway Permits (and review of associated Driveway Variances).
Revocable permits are used for semi-permanent appurtenances that are to remain in the public right of way, such as outdoor seating areas, bike racks, building awnings, etc..
DE is responsible for processing various types of property line changes/maps and other documents that are recorded in the Office of the County Recorder for private development projects:
Parcel Maps are for subdividing a property into 4 parcels or less.
Final Parcel Maps are for subdividing a property into 5 lots or more.
Certificates of Compliance (COC) are to certify that a lot is legal per state law requirements.
Lot Line Adjustments are to adjust parcel lines between 4 or fewer parcels.
Lot Mergers are to merge multiple parcels into one parcel.
Public easement documents are the dedication of various types of easements from a property owner to the City.
Grant deeds are for the granting of fee title property from a property owner to the City.
DE is also responsible for processing:
Vacations/Abandonments are processed for the abandonment of public easements and public road easements to revert the abandoned area back to the property that originally dedicated the easement.
Temporary alley closures to alleviate criminal activity and illegal dumping.
Development Engineering Work Groups
DE is organized in three work groups – Plan Check, Map Check, and Public Counter:
Public Counter
Development Engineering has a Public Counter located on the 3rd Floor at 300 Richards Boulevard. The DE Public Counter is open during the normal building counter hours of 9am – 4pm on weekdays, except for holidays and special events. Advanced notification is posted by the building department when the counter will be closed.
The DE Public Counter is where people can go to request research on a property or for questions about processes when they need to perform work in the ROW. Typical topics that we can provide information and services on are:
Driveway Permits and Driveway Variances
Encroachment Permits and Revocable Permits
Off-site Permits (RPC/CPC) and project intake procedures
Research on recorded maps, recorded easements and old permits within the public road easement
Archived/as-built street improvement plans
Street ties and elevation benchmarks
Other private development related questions within the public road easement
The Plan Check group performs civil engineering plan review and project management of all off-site permits. Most building permits with site work (work outside the structure) are also reviewed by the Plan Check staff for on-site civil design features and to ensure the proposed improvements are not in conflict with known public easements, and that any changes to the access (driveways, parking re-design, adding fencing, etc) are in compliance with city standards and codes. The building permit work is generally conditioned so that the offsite plans have been approved, and an agreement with bonds received, prior to the building permit being issued. During the building permit review, DE staff also informs the applicant of any offsite work conditions that may be required by the ROD for the project.
Other permit applications that plan check staff processes include Driveway Variances, Encroachment Permits, Revocable Permits, Sign Topper Permits, and Banner Permits.
Map Check
The Map Check group processes the various types of property line changes/maps and other documents that are recorded with the Office of the County Recorder for private development projects. Included in processing are: working with private individuals and developers for application for document review; review documents for compliance with City requirements, City Code and State law; and document recording. The group also ensures that all conditions of approval associated with Parcel Maps, Final Maps, Certificates of Compliance, Vacation/Abandonments and other documents have been fulfilled prior to guiding the documents through the recording process.
Public Works Forms
A directory of forms which includes documents for plan check, map review and vacation/abandonment.
Engineering Fee Deposit Calculator
Calculates an estimate of the initial engineering fee deposit for a proposed project, based on the value of the improvements to be made.
For general questions, you can submit an email to DE@cityofsacramento.org, call 916-808-8300, or visit the Public Counter at:
300 Richards Boulevard, 3rd Floor


Articulation: Hinged ankles, hinged knees, swivel thighs, swivel/hinge hips, swivel waist, mid-torso hinge, swivel/hinge shoulders, bicep swivels, hinged elbows, swivel wrists, and a balljointed head.
Accessories: Removable chest plate and a pistol.
Figures Needed to Complete the Rookie: The Atom, Batman (Rebirth), Batwing, Duke Thomas, and the Reaper.
DC Collectibles released their own version of the Rookie/ GCPD Bat-bot last year as part of a two-pack with the Jim Gordon Batman. It's a nice looking figure but the articulation was definitely below average. Mattel's release is a little shorter but it's also a bit bulkier and includes the Rookie's pistol which DC Collectibles didn't include. Honestly, I find myself preferring Mattel's version better.
* Mattel did an impressive job of capturing the look of the Rookie. It's a somewhat bulky and tough looking mech that nicely shows off the design aesthetic of being both a law enforcement tool and a Batman inspired device. Looking at this, you can really believe that an action figure could conceivably fit inside of it due to the proportions. It's a decent sized build-a-figure and the fact that you only need to purchase five figures to build it is a real plus.
* The articulation is surprisingly good. While it's only as articulated as your average Mattel Multiverse figure, the articulation works well for a mechanized bot like the Rookie. He can take quite a few poses and feels very sturdy and well made. While he may have fewer joints, he definitely seems much more poseable than the DC Collectibles version due to having actual hip motion.
* The upper body looks great! I love the large weapons launchers on the shoulders, the glossy black visor, and the Bat logo across the chest. I also like the white "GCPD" markings on the chest.
* The chestplate is removable so you can see the chest of Gordon in his GCPD Batsuit underneath. It's a cool feature that becomes useful if you have the Gordon Batman from Mattel. More on that in a moment, though.
* The arms feature these bulky gauntlets that look both menacing and very, very cool. I like the size and the white paint applications over the metallic blue body.
* On the back you can see what might be a huge power pack for the Bat-bot as well as some painted on red and blue lights.
* The Collect & Connect Rookie comes with a pistol that fits it's massive hands. It's a cool looking weapon that the Rookie can hold easily. It's a cool accessory.
* The Rookie's head is removable allowing you to place on the head of the Jim Gordan Batman figure if you own it. Again, this alternate head does not come with any of the figures in the series but was one of the two interchangeable heads included with the Gordan Batman from the King Shark wave. Still a cool feature, though.
* The bunny ears on the Rookie's head came out of the package a bit bent. They're a little rubbery which is good because it keeps them from breaking but they still look just a tad off.
If you're looking for more figures of Batman, check out my Batman review archive. If you're looking for more Jim Gordon reviews, I've looked at the Greg Capullo styled Commissioner Gordon and GCPD Batman, the Arkham Knight Commissioner Gordon, and Mattel's Jim Gordan Batman.

Sony Pictures Television is bumping two more executives up the corporate ladder. Lauren Moffat will be the new SVP of comedy development at the studio, while Jordan Feiner nabs the same SVP title for scripted programming.
Moffat had previously been VP of comedy programming, having worked on NBC's "Marry Me" and ABC's "Happy Endings," among others, and guided the development of Netflix's upcoming "One Day at a Time" remake staring Rita Moreno and Todd Grinnell. "Her fantastic taste and great relationships make her an invaluable member of our team, and she has been instrumental in expanding our business with cable and streaming networks," said Glenn Adilman, EVP of comedy development.
Feiner was an exec on NBC's "The Blacklist" and had been working on the spinoff ("The Blacklist: Redemption"), in addition to helping shepherd Netflix's hotly anticipated Baz Luhrmann series "The Get Down." "Jordan's impressive track record here at SPT, having guided some of our most ambitious and successful programming, will help us continue to move forward as the leader in television today," said Kim Rozenfeld, EVP of scripted programming.
The two are being moved up not long after the elevation of SPT presidents Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, who share the responsibilities of recently departed studio head Steve Mosko, along with three other execs.
Sony TV had five series picked up this broadcast development season: The "Blacklist" spinoff, "Imaginary Mary" and "Notorious" on ABC, "Kevin Can Wait" at CBS, and "Timeless" on NBC. That's one more than lsat year's orders for the independent studio.


Whether you intend to vacation is at a land-based resort or on a cruise through the islands, you need to compare insurance polices issued by a variety of reliable companies. On this page you can do it with just a click to SquareMouth, Quote Wright or Insure My Trip. Policies typically cost 4-7% of the trip cost based on its length and the traveler's age.
The three following sites are the recognized leaders. They all offer the chance to compare the terms, coverage and cost of policies. One isn't cheaper than the other since it's illegal to discount insurance.
The New York Times says Squaremouth offers "the most comprehensive list" of insurance products to choose from. Squaremouth sometimes finds policies the others don't.
Each policy is different in terms of what coverage it provides. You can examine and compare policies online or download and print them for comparison.
Hopefully, you'll never have the need to use your travel insurance. But if you do, you'll find it a smart investment. I personally have needed insurance to cover the cost of canceling a trip due to unexpected reasons.
Don't overlook the protection you may already have through your credit card or cruise line.


Instead of latching on to the armed forces and their achievements, the BJP should focus on governance, which was what India was getting ready to vote for, Captain Amarinder said. The people of India already know what the armed forces had done or were doing, what they now want to know is what the BJP has done in the last five years to deserve another term, he asked.
Rather than find fault with the scheme announced by Rahul, the BJP should concentrate on responding to this question, which was on the lips of every Indian at this crucial juncture in democratic India's progressive journey, the Chief Minister said.

The EPL is the world's most-watched league. And it pulls in the most revenue by some distance. This despite the defection of its brightest star Ronaldo to La Liga in 2009, despite last season's faltering performances by English clubs in Europe and despite England's woeful showing at this year's World Cup - a tournament, you may remember, won by Spain.
There are plenty of other reasons for the Premier League's popularity over La Liga. I've heard arguments as varied as a greater parity of teams in the Premier League to the proliferation of English expatriates in Asia serving as walking advocates for their local clubs. But it's difficult to see past the simple fact that it is harder to watch Spanish football in Asia than its English rival.
English matches generally kick off at either 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. in Hong Kong, which is late but not too troublesome in a society geared towards late nights like this one. There's also at least two fixtures each week that can begin as early as 7:30 p.m. - and last week's early kick-offs were matches involving Arsenal and Chelsea.
Compare that to La Liga, where Real Madrid and Barcelona are almost always assigned to the late matches, and rarely begin before 3 a.m. This is Perez's problem. What's the point in parading the world's best (and most marketable) players when a vast audience cannot watch them live?
There are plans to change that. Atletico Madrid have reportedly become the first Spanish club to request early kick-offs with the intention of grabbing an Asian audience. This would be a remarkable change for a country famous for the afternoon siesta, and an interesting turning point in globalization - the point where the demands of a potentially massive foreign audience trump the tastes of the loyal locals.
Whether that will be enough to wrest Asian eyeballs and dollars away from the English Premier League and to La Liga remains to be seen. But as I face the prospect of another bleary-eyed day at the office tomorrow, it's a change that I would certainly welcome.
Ravi Hiranand produces News Stream with Kristie Lu Stout (CNN.com/NewsStream), airing weekdays at 1300 GMT on CNN International.
How arrogant can you get? La liga should change its kick-off times so that a handful of glory hunters in the Far East don't have to stay up too late! You must be joking. European clubs may want your money, but they couldn't give a damn about your beauty sleep. You'll still by the shirts and flock to the exhibition friendlies whether you see the big names live or not through the season. Instead of trying to hi-jack the game from the European locals, who are the heart of the clubs, what you should be thinking about is investing some time and money in your own teams so that you don't have live vicariously through clubs of which you have no real knowledge and with which you have no real affinity. Asia wants another World Cup last time I looked, so show you deserve it by investing in your own game instead of leaching off Europe's.
@alehandro: Lighten up over there. Being offensive, rude and bordering on racism is no way to start a civilized discussion on the development of the beautiful game outside of Europe. The tone of the article is a bit arrogant, stating that (Asian) fans are the reason for European clubs signing big name players, but he's right in saying that if European clubs want to cash in on growing popularity in Asia and the rest of the world the way the EPL has, they are probably going to have to adjust (some of) their kick-off times. In any case, it isn't Asia per se that will dictate your precious kick-off times. It will boil down to how greedy European club owners are and how willing they are to compromise local fan preferences for profit. If they want (more) Asian money flowing into their coffers, the onus is on the owners them to balance the needs of their entire fan base.
Are you kidding me? "La Liga" consists of two teams, the rest at least last year's results of #3) were a full 18-20 points behind the number two, Madrid. Any weekend I watch the Premiership, I can either get a close, entertaining, physical match or upsets (Yes, even ties), or a more world-wide representation of skills. Premiership any day, leave la liga to insomniacs who need their sleep. Any wonder why their games gamesare televisd Sunday evenings? People need to rest up for the work week.
The author of this article seems to forget that there are two mayor football markets outside of Europe... The intention of scheduleding la Liga games late probably has more to do with the fact that the largest market for Spanish football lies in South America and not in Asia.
@JP.... How is anything I wrote bordering on racism?... The author describes himself as "an Asian" fan", the whole piece is about European football catering to Asia, and the last time I looked in the dictionary calling someone "Asian" is not an insult but a demographic description. So maybe YOU should be the one to lighten up.
And as for me being rude - you call European clubs "greedy" for wanting to encorporate Asia into their market reach. Why is that greedy? Every industry in the world hopes to maximize its profits. It's called Capitalism. Why should those in the business of football behave any differently?
And as for adjusting kick-off times to suit foreign markets, that's unworkable. With so much global interest and so many different time zones the big clubs of Europe could end up kicking off in the middle of the night to cater to some markets, which in turn would affect the revenue from their domestic audience.
Look, if you're not based in Europe but love the European game, make the sacrifice and get up early or stay up late. If not, then tape the games or find a local team to follow. Simple as that. Don't try and reinvent the wheel.
The whole of Asia cannot be "a handful of glory hunters in the far east"
I am a fan of European football too, especially Spanish La Liga, English Premier League, and Italian Serie A. I regularly watch the games of Barcelona, Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal, AC Milan, and AS Roma – if and when I can. And I live here in the Philippines.
English EPL is the best and will still remain the best for now , and will still remain the most watch in any part of the world even in south american countries where la liga seems to be popular. the reason is obvious in EPL there are up to six clubs that are fighting to win the title at the end of the day , like , man united, arsenal , chelsea, totoham , liverpool, etc. But in la liga there are only two teams that always compitite for the title madrid and barcelona , no matter how valencia , villariall, Alt madrid, Alt club , español fc struggled at the begining of the leauge , the must surly bow down to either barcelona or madrid. , that is to say we have BIG TWO IN LA LIGA , while we have big six in epl, am from spain and fan of barcelona . what of the fan or crowd that comes to watch the matches it is only matches that involes bar and maf that u will see crowg or stadium will be filled to capacity , but in epl all stadium full to capacity .
Alehandro, Perez has clearly stated that he would like to capture more of the Asian market. The writer is merely highlighting the issues facing Perez. I think its a good article for its intended purpose. La Liga has to decide how serious it is about competing with England for worldwide viewership an TV dollars.
Dony. EPL is the most popular league on the planet, hands down. More money and growth potential is to be found in Asia Africa and India than in South America. Not to mention North America. When was the last time a European side toured South America? By the way, is Messi still taking English lessons?
well maybe is true, sorry I am a romantic and I enjoyed Pele, Garrincha, Di Stefano and Maradona ( and the fottballers nowadasy look pretty average in comparisson with them), also maybe in South America we have to realise that probably in anotther parts of the world prefer runners like CR than artists like Pele, but that is another issue; by the way I am pretty sure that will be really interesting look at the performance of Japan in the next Copa America (because it is the last Asian's champion), and they had a good performance in the WC 2010.
The popularity of English football in Asia has deep roots predating the Premier League. I grew up in Singapore in the 1960's and 70's and fell in love with the game by watching "Division One" football in black-and-white. I still remember the excitement when Arsenal came to town to play in an exhibition in the 70's (the other teams were Celtic and Red Star Belgrade). My schoolmates and I would spend countless hours taking about Leeds, Forest, Manchester United, etc. And yes, I'm one of those fans who has hopped on a plane to London just to watch a match.
should argentines be ashamed to play in the premier league thousands of miles from home?
Juan Sello: Well , maybe European teams will not have a tour in South America for economic reasons, but most importantly we do not support foreign teams!, we are not football's newbies, if tomorrow my River play against Barça, I want to see River trashing them, well you look down in economic terms to us, but we can look down the rest of the world in football terms (but we do not do that) because despite the fact that we are the smallest football confederation in the world (only 10 remembers!), we have won 9 WC, and in this landmass the best footballer a-ll-time (Pele , Di Stefano, Garrincha, Maradona) were born, also the currently best footballer in the world is South American; and let me tell you that nobody here is obsessed about European football and the tv channels only show some matches on weekends of Serie A , La liga and Bundesliga ( nobody cares about EPL, who want to see a rudimentary high-tempo unskillful football style?); and about the language , sorry but Di Stefano, Pele, Cruyff, Maradona , Zidane and Bochini, usually write in newspapers articles about football in Spanish not English!, and the quality of books about football is incredibly high with writers like, Valdano(WC 1986 winner), Menotti (WC 1978 winner), Zagallo (WC 1958,1962,1970,1994winner); what is more, is usually to see in football programmes (which discuss about football concepts not tactics) in the same panel to Spaniards, Italians and South American journalists (which is easy because Spanish, Italian and Portuguese and intelligible, apart from UK, which Anglophone country has a long football tradition or history?);finally, we consider that a footballer in his prime should play in La Liga or Serie A , and that is the reason that the new Pele, Maradona or Messi will play in Serie or La liga and the new Nakata and Park in EPL (that was not sarcasm only the sad true ).

**A multistage algorithm for fricative spotting** **A multistage algorithm for fricative spotting**
- Institiutions:	Tel-Hai College + Tel-Hai College
The task of finding all the appearances of a phoneme or a group of phonemes in a given speech utterance is known as phoneme spotting. It can be valuable in many situations in which a differential manipulation of these phonemes is required, such as improving the aesthetic quality of phonemes with bad pronunciation or recording environment flaws, or for enhancing the ability of the hearing impaired to understand speech utterances with phonemes which otherwise may be difficult to perceive. In this paper we focus on spotting of fricatives, which are known to introduce difficulties in both situations. We present a simple and efficient algorithm for detection and demarcation of fricatives in recorded speech or songs. The algorithm consists of several stages. In the first stage, a feature vector is computed for each short frame of the speech signal, composed of moments of the zero-crossing rate, spectral peaks and band energy ratio. Each frame is classified as fricative or as non-fricative, using a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) based algorithm, pre-trained on a small set of phonemes. To reduce the number of false positives, a decision-tree classifier is applied in the second stage, trained to discriminate between fricatives and stops, the most prevalent false positives. The decision-tree algorithm was compared and outperformed several classifiers such as a support vector machine (SVM), trained on the same database. Evaluation of the algorithm using hundreds of sentences with over 4600 fricatives from the TIMIT speech database yielded a high detection rate (90%), with relatively low percentage of false positive (specificity of 98%). The number of false positives can be further reduced, at the cost of a somewhat decreased detection rate. The algorithm uses only information contained in the acoustic signal, which makes it equally applicable to all languages and dialects. It is based on simple features and standard classifiers, which contributes to efficiency and reduced computational complexity. Furthermore, each portion of audio is processed independently of other portions, making it applicable for real-time implementation.

Trident – See What Unfolds: Selections
Latest Work 3 August, 2012
On June 20, as part of their See What Unfolds ad campaign, Trident Gum turned an ordinary Wednesday night into something unexpectedly FUN with the help of superstar DJ Steve Aoki and Duran Duran. Among other things "Hungry Like The Wolf: Steve Aoki vs Duran Duran – The New York Werewolf Mix" unfolded, and we asked people to join the fun by creating their own music video for it.
A huge congratulations to the overall winner, sancharoenchai (USA) who will be paid $10,000! sancharoenchai described the winning video:
"I wanted to create something kind of bizarre and colorful… unexpectedly fun and weird to watch."
Watch sancharoenchai's video!
In addition to the overall winner we'd like to congratulate:

There were some great, creative videos made for this contest so well done to everyone who entered, and congratulations to all winners and finalists!


Wash the fresh produce. Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Snap off and discard the tough, woody ends of the asparagus stems; cut into 2-3 cm pieces on an angle. Medium dice the onion. Cut the potatoes into 1cm bite-sized pieces. Cut the radishes into wedges.
Heat a large non-stick pan on medium-high until hot. Add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the radishes and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the radishes and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the asparagus, onion and garlic to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and the onion is softened. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper to taste and cover to keep warm.
Pat dry steak with paper towels and season with salt on both sides. In the same pan, heat olive oil on medium until hot. Add steak and cook until browned on outside and medium rare, about 4 - 6 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain. (TIP: We supply our meat as a thick-cut piece, as we think it cooks much better as a bigger piece. You can always cut into thinner steaks if preferred, but bear in mind you will have to keep a closer eye on it to reach your desired doneness).
While the steak rest, finely chop the parsley leaves and stems. Roughly chop the capers and almonds. In a bowl, combine the parsley, capers, almonds and parmesan. Slowly stir in 2 TBS of olive oil, or enough to create a paste; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Find the lines of the rested steak; thinly slice against the grain. Divide the finished hash and sliced steak between dishes. Top with the salsa verde. Enjoy!

Brainwashed - J.G. Thirlwell, "Manorexia: The Mesopelagic Waters"
J.G. Thirlwell, "Manorexia: The Mesopelagic Waters"
Nearly a decade ago, Jim Thirlwell released a pair of instrumental albums under the then-new guise of Manorexia on his own Ectopic Ents label. While he hasn't released anything new from the project since, he has been steadily shaping the Manorexia sound into something rather far removed from its origins through a series of sporadic performances arranged for chamber ensemble. The Mesopelagic Waters is the end result of those efforts, re-envisioning a selection of those embryonic tracks as a harrowing and skillfully rendered modern classical suite.
The mesopelagic region of a body of water is where it begins to get deep and dark, but not so much that no light penetrates. It makes for an oddly chosen title reference, as I am mystified as to where Thirlwell is seeing any light: this is an unrepentantly churning, visceral, and disturbed album. There are certainly some quieter moments strewn about, but they are never, ever placid. In fact, Jim's transition into a serious classical composer (other artists in Tzadik's composer series include Harry Partch and Luc Ferrari) seems to have only increased his disquieting power. Thirlwell hasn't settled down, he has merely replaced his somewhat garish '80s horror movie electronics with violently sawing cellos, violas, and violins.
The Manorexia aesthetic, in general, is based upon slow-building repetition and escalating tension. Most of these pieces only contain a few distinct motifs, but Thirlwell is quite adept at turning relatively simple repeating ideas into something organic and exciting. The central melodies are not where the action is—Jim's artistry lies in how the surrounding music ebbs, flows, lurches, and pounds around them and how dissonances are impishly added and subtracted in an endless chess match of tension and release.
While the eight compositions here are almost invariably haunting and wonderful, Thirlwell's most stunning achievement here is as a producer. The Mesopelagic Waters sounds massively, impossibly dense during its more cathartic moments. In fact, it sounds like the whole damn world is collapsing during the apocalyptic crescendo of "Tranque," a feat that not many people besides Scott Walker can convincingly pull off. Obviously, composing "serious" music is relatively new for Jim, but he has an intuitive understanding of dynamics and gut-level power that seems miles ahead of both his peers and his influences: music this nightmarish needs to explode out of the speakers and that is exactly what it does.


How do you Limit Port Usage in IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6?
ITM uses TCP/IP[Note 1] to communicate between and within ITM processes. It uses port numbers to perform this activity. Customers who monitor port usage closely have questions about what ports are used and also what options are available to control and limit those ports. This document explains all these questions. If there is a topic you know well, please skip to the end sections which explain exactly how to control the ports. The presentation uses standard default port numbers but almost anything can be configured.
In TCP/IP communications a port is a number from 0 to 65535. A process can ask to be notified if another process - on this or another server - wants to connect. A call to a "bind" routine links the incoming communication to the listening process.
A network interface is a hardware or software construction that has one or more IP addresses. That can be IPV4 or IPV6 addresses. In simple workstations there is typically a single hardware part which implements the network interface and usually a software network interface for localhost or 127.0.0.1, which is only known locally. Servers may have many network interfaces and a single hardware interface can even have multiple IP addresses.
When an external process connects to the listening port, that produces a socket connection. The connection can be read or written from either side and the TCP/IP software transmits the data.
ITM does not control outbound communication. It writes data to a target ip address and port number and lets TCP/IP calculate the best way to do that work. All TCP/IP environments have "route" commands which lets the system administrator control what network interface gets used for the communication.
By default, ITM listens on all interfaces using a BIND call. The KDEB_INTERFACELIST environment variable can be used to limit the interfaces which are surveyed. That is not often required and will not be mentioned further here.
KDE_TRANSPORT=KDC_FAMILIES="ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:1920"
This is composed from the data captured during configuration.
The initial connection supplies a Location Broker function which allows the ITM service to look up a service and the ip address, port number and other items needed for a connection. Location Brokers run at each TEMS and a hub TEMS maintains a master list - the Global Location Broker.
When a service registers, that information is added to the Location Broker data. For example a TEMS will register all the available network interfaces. If KDEB_INTERFACELIST is supplied, the ip addresses listed will be registered using that order. In this way a service can tell a user what ip address and port to use.
The important thing to remember is that services register and users look up the data. The decentralized approach makes the process more resilient and higher performing because there are fewer choke points.
1) Connection to a TEMS port 1918. The communications string defines the protocols used. The CT_CMSLIST environment variable names the servers where a TEMS is running. The initial connection at port 1918 gives access to the Location Broker data and thus indirectly to the TEMS. However from the standpoint of configuration, this is a socket to a 1918 listening port on the server running the TEMS.
2) Agent listening port at 1918+N*4096. If there is just one agent installed, the listening port will be 1918+4096 or 6014. If there are more than one agent installed, the agents contend for the listening ports. That means incidentally that there are a maximum of 15 agents using the default configuration. The listening port is used for several purposes including retrieval of real time data and receiving broadcasts about new WPA address.
3) Agent connection to Warehouse Proxy Agent or WPA. This can be at any port but recently was defaulted to 63358 or 1918+15*4096. The information is actually found from the Location Broker. The WPA registers at the hub TEMS, the Global Location Broker information is propagated to the Local Location Broker at the remote TEMS and the agent looks it up as part of the Location Broker data.
4) Internal Web Server ports. By default all Agents and most ITM processes start an internal web server. The default ports used are 1920 and 3661 [http and https]. There are several purposes including the ability to start and stop diagnostic tracing dynamically. The first ITM process owns the 1920/3661 and the others register with it. If that process stops the 1920 ownership switches to another ITM process if possible.
6) Ephemeral ports. ITM makes use of ports which are received from TCP/IP as "the next free port". These are used to communicate between ITM sub-systems.
7) Local ports. These are on address 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 which are not internet capable addresses. They are used to maintain awareness between ITM processes such as handling the internal web server switch process.
Almost every single number you see in the above description is configurable except for 4096 and local ports. So if you must make a change you can always make that change. The rest of the technote shows how to limit or control port usage.
In most ways servers like TEMS/TEPS/S&P/WPA are also agents. You use the same communications string to control.
TEMS/TEPS must have the internal web server present for normal operations.
The TEMS have an added control named gbl_site.txt which identifies which TEMS the TEMS connects to. That is unrelated to this technote.
The second is a more general technote which has been vetted by L3 and Development as valid long term.
Limiting ITM Agent Internal Web Server ports.
to the start of the communications string.
This will eliminate the 1920/3661 ports and also the ephemeral ports associated with the web server.
Alternatively, you can also eliminate specific HTTP ports by adding HTTP:0 or HTTPS:0 to the communications string.
NOTE: this cannot be done on the TEPS or the TEMS process without breaking important ITM functions.
then the agent will not use a listening port or a WPA port. There is a limitation: if historical data is going to be collected either 1) a WPA is required on the TEMS the agent reports to or 2) historical data collection must be at the TEMS. This can actually be configured at the TEMS by adding EPHEMERAL:INBOUND in to the TEMS connection string.
This also makes setting up connections through firewalls easier since only the base port 1918 needs to be permitted. There is no significant performance impact with this choice. This modifier can be made to one agent but not another on the same server.
The Universal Agent is an ITM component that lets you extend ITM by writing your own agents.
UA uses all the same ports and by default will also use port 1919 to communicate with collectors [IANA registered]. Each data collector process will use an ephemeral port to form the socket is created.
KUMP_LOCAL_DATA=Y configures non-socket communication on a single server. In a very few cases that configuration causes collection issues.
Please consider use of Agent Builder instead which is being actively developed.
This function gets used for the first install of OS Agent on a system. Linux/Unix uses SSH/RSH/REXEC from the hub TEMS to the target agent. For example, SSH usually uses port 22. During agent createNode processing the service port and port 1918 from agent to hub will be used. Afterwards the agent will usually connect to a remote TEMS.
This document describes ITM port usage and also ways you can eliminate or control port usage.
In z/OS the SNA communications can be used for communication. This document does not apply to that option. One of the Portal Client to Portal Server communication option uses part HTTP and part CORBA communications, which is also unrelated to this document. Some Portal Client options can use ports not described here. The ITM EIF facility and the LDAP facility can use ports not described here.
