Q: Showing that a property $\implies$ Lipschitz Suppose $f$ has the following property on $[a,b]$: For any $\delta>0$, whenever you choose a countable collection of pairwise disjoint intervals $\lbrace (a_k,b_k) \rbrace_{i=1}^{\infty}$ such that $\sum_{i=1}^\infty b_k-a_k < \delta$, you get that
$$\sum_{i=1}^\infty |f(b_k)-f(a_k)| < \sum_{i=1}^\infty b_k-a_k < \delta $$
I am motivated to show that $f$ is Lipschitz because of the form of this last line. It is remarkably similar to $|f(b)-f(a)|\leq C(b-a)$.

A: First observe that the condition you give implies that $|f(x) - f(y)| \le |x-y|$ whenever $x,y \in [a,b]$ and $|x-y| < \delta$. Also observe this implies $f$ is bounded.
Let $M$ be an upper bound of $|f|$.
Let $x,y \in [a,b]$. If $|x-y| < \delta$ then $$|f(y) - f(x)| \le |y - x|.$$On the other hand, if $|x-y| \ge \delta$ then $$|f(y) - f(x)| \le 2M = \dfrac{2M}{\delta} \delta \le \dfrac{2M}{\delta}|x-y|.$$
It follows that $f$ is Lipschitz with constant $\max\{1, 2M/\delta\}$.

Q: No output in console This sounds like a trivial question but I googled about it and found nothing that helped me.
Nothing gets printed in my console. It was working just fine yesterday. I haven't made any changes to my RAD.
Even the system.out statements do not get printed in the console. I debugged to make sure it hits the system.out statement.
I have confirmed that the console I am looking at for output is the console for the websphere as shown in the picture.
I am using RAD 8 and websphere app server7.

EDIT 2: Solution
I couldn't figure out what was causing this problem. So I ended up deleting the server and recreating it. This solved the issue. So I guess there was some kind of configuration change to the server that was required.
Any answer will still be appreciated.

A: The console view can display more than one kind of console. In your screenshot, it's displaying the Websphere server console. The output that you're expecting to see may be on a different console. There are some buttons to the right of the console tab which you can use to switch to a different console.
This page describes the console view and the buttons which you can use to switch to a different console.

A: I solved this problem in two ways:

*

*Initially, I just deleted the server instance and recreated it all over again.

*Rick clicked the RAD/Eclipse icon and selected "Run as administrator".
If you want to start your Rad or eclipse instance as an administrator by default, do the following:
Right click on the shortcut > Properties > Advanced > check the box "Always run as

administrator > OK > Apply > OK

A: I just closed the "console" 'view' and chose Window>Show View> Console, and it fixed for me.
This answer is given based on the first image i saw here, which has the console view which is empty.


→ It's been a year of change for Sesen Bio — or, until three months ago, Eleven Bio — and they are now adding a new CEO to that list. Merck vet Thomas Cannell is stepping in to steer the company through a Phase III trial they hope will take their bladder cancer treatment, Vicinium (VB4-845), to regulatory submission in 2019. Cannell jumps from a stint as COO and president of global commercial products at Orexigen, the bankrupt diet pill maker that just sold to Nalpropion. He replaces Stephen Hurly, the former CEO of Viventia Biotech who took the reins when Sesen acquired Viventia and switched its focus from ophthalmology to oncology. Marking the beginning of the new era, two board directors — Third Rock partner Abbie Celniker and eye disease expert Paul Chaney — are also leaving their role.
→ Remember when Rockwell Medical CEO Robert Chioini unfired himself after getting ousted by the board? After weeks under the radar, it seems like the Detroit biotech $RMTI is ready to turn a new leaf with the appointment of Stuart Paul to the top job. A court had barred Chioini, a founder of the company, from any contact with his former colleagues outside of mediation. Now Paul, a life sciences vet with stints at Baxter, Gambro, Quest Diagnostics and Abbott Laboratories, has the tall order of putting the commercial operation back on track. "While there remains significant work ahead to strengthen the business and enhance value, I believe the Company benefits from a unique market position due to its two innovative renal drug therapies," he said, referring to Triferic and Calcitriol.
→ Boulder, CO-based i2 Pharmaceuticals has tapped David Stover to lead its nascent operation. Not much is out there about i2's antibody-based immuno-oncology assets, but chairman Bruce Eaton said Stover's arrival coincides with a "strategic growth-phase." While this will be Stover's first time as CEO, he brings experience heading an Astellas affiliate called Agensys, which also focused on antibody and antibody drug conjugate development.
→ Following a deal spree, Adlai Nortye has wooed Lars Birgerson from Bristol-Myers Squibb to guide clinical development for its beefed up pipeline of cancer treatments. As president and CEO of the Chinese biotech's US operations, as well as its chief development officer, Birgerson inherits a portfolio that includes an immuno-oncolytic virus and a PI3K drug cast-off from Novartis.
→ After helping drive Agios' two acute myeloid leukemia drugs — Idhifa and Tibsovo — through the clinic to approvals, Samuel Agresta is starting fresh at Infinity Pharmaceuticals, where he's been named CMO. Agresta is tasked with overseeing global clinical development and regulatory affairs for the Cambridge, MA-based company, which is still in early-stage studies for its sole asset IPI-549. The drug is being tested as both a monotherapy and in combination with Bristol-Myers' Opdivo.
→ BioXcel Therapeutics has brought in a former Pfizer director to lead the company's neuroscience efforts. Michael De Vivo will serve as vice president of neuroscience, aiding the company's CSO Frank Yocca in executing BioXcel's neuroscience strategy. De Vivo was director of neuroscience at Pfizer, where he led translational research and preclinical studies, and oversaw a Parkinson's disease project, according to BioXcel's statement.
→ Robert Lee has been promoted to president at Particle Sciences after 10 years at the contract development and manufacturing organization.
→ Belgium's CAR-T cell therapy player Celyad $CYAD has tapped Wells Fargo investment banker Filippo Petti to fill the CFO seat vacated by Patrick Jeanmart.
→ As Oncopeptides moves beyond its Stockholm base to expand its organization into Europe and the US, Birgitta Ståhl is passing the CFO baton to Anders Martin-Löf, formerly of Wilson Therapeutics and medtech company Raysearch. Ståhl, who helped prepare and execute the cancer drugmaker's recent IPO, will continue to work in the company.
→ Casma Therapeutics has recruited two new executives: Jeffrey Saunders as senior vice president of drug discovery, and Daniel Ory as senior vice president of translational medicine. Saunders comes from Nuvalent Therapeutics, where he worked as vice president of chemistry. Ory is joining from Washington University School of Medicine, where he served as a professor of medicine, cell biology, physiology and cardiology.
→ Portola Pharmaceuticals has hired Ernie Meyer, a former Celgene HR exec, to serve as the company's vice president and chief human resources officer. At Celgene, Meyer most recently served as VP of human resources and corporate services.


Years ago, soon after we started raising children, my husband, a school teacher at the local junior/senior high school, noticed that the farm kids at school were the best citizens of the school, i.e. they contributed the most in positive ways…taking part in extra-curricular activities, studying hard, treating other students decently. He thought it must have something to do with their upbringing as farmers' children. He wanted the same for our children. He had been born in the city and I had been raised on a dairy farm in central Vermont.
Talking with one's daughter is a total delight. For me, at least, and so often I learn a lot while conversing. Today she shared some knitting, some health, some blog topics with me. She is knitting a beautiful Fair Isle purse, which she will felt. She is using Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride yarn and US size 10 needles. I think it is beautiful. It makes me want to do some color work soon. I must not. I must not. I MUST NOT…at least until I finish the vest, the socks, the leggings, the hat, the shawl, the afghan…you get the picture.


A second passport isn't just for spies, diplomats or the super rich. In fact, anyone can obtain a second passport whether it's from another country or a duplicate by satisfying certain conditions. If you want to benefit from all the positives that another passport can bring, here's how to get one.
If you can prove that your parents, grandparents or sometimes even great-grandparents come from another country, then you may be eligible for a low cost second passport. You'll need to make an appointment at the nearest consulate and provide the necessary paperwork to prove your heritage.
You'll need birth, marriage and death certificates for yourself and your children plus certificates going back through the maternal and paternal lines. You'll also need passport photos for your new passport. Countries like Ireland and Germany are popular choices for these kinds of secondary passports.
If you're prepared to wait, you can generally apply for residency and then get a second passport after living in your chosen country for a set period of time – for most countries it's five years before you can get your new passport photos taken and apply for your second passport. However, requirements can change so keep checking the website for your country of residency.
You don't have to be super rich, but economic citizenship programmes effectively allow you to buy that all-important second passport. The cost can be exceptionally high, however, with some Caribbean countries charging a six figure sum. It's probably worth considering residency rather than this type of deal.
There are also ways to get citizenship and a passport through marriage and birth, but residency doesn't always apply to parents. For example, a child born on French soil is eligible for a passport but only if they have one French parent.
If you travel often for business, then you might want to apply for a second passport in case anything happens to the original. You'll need proof of business travel, your existing passport and birth certificate plus of course your new passport pictures – just remind the passport office not to cancel your original passport!
However you intend to get a second passport, Paspic can help you get your online passport photo right first time!


Position is the key to playing this hole, and not being too greedy by trying to cut out the dog-leg down the right, as the Out of Bounds eagerly awaits those wayward shots. With a series of three bunkers on the corner of the dog-leg, it is wise to hit a long iron into position and then a mid iron into the heart of this tricky green. Beware of the subtle mounds on the green.

Stampin' in the Sun: Christmas Cards in August! Two Cards for you!
Today's cards are two of my favorites (I am quite sure every card is my favorite!). Both are cased from Stampin' Up! catalogs and changed up to my liking. I like these because they remind me of images you can "color" like when I was a kid! Both cards use the Ornate Tag Topper Punch. If you haven't used this yet, you need to get one! It makes tags quick and easy!
I used the new Whisper White Thick Card Stock (I guess it's not that new anymore). It makes watercoloring a snap! I have recently become quite the watercoloring fool. Once I learned to really water-down my colors and start super light - I have LOVED watercoloring. As my friend Lisa says, you can always add more color but you can't take it away!
Doesn't this set remind you of the Precious Moments dolls that were popular in the 1980's? I love this stamp set! I wasn't too happy with all the extra dots on the tag but it still looks cute. I added the dots using the new precision glue in the Holiday Catalog and then added the gold glitter. The background stamp I used is included in the stamp set. I embossed it using the gold embossing powder.
I never thought I'd be saying this but I am in love with all of the gold I am using!
Come back tomorrow for some more holiday sneak peeks!
Thanks so much Kathy! Which do you like better!?

Born in London, he was sent to the prestigious Heatherdown Preparatory School from where he was expelled due to his mischievous nature. He proceeded to attend the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and embarked on a military career as a second lieutenant in the British Army. He did not like the army life and gained notoriety for his rebellious behavior which angered his seniors. Tired of the military, he quit his job and moved to the United States in search of a better future. Venturing into Hollywood in the mid-1930s, he soon established himself as a reliable supporting actor in films such as 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' and 'The Prisoner of Zenda.' A successful actor by the time the World War II broke out, he chose to return home and rejoin the army. He resumed his acting career after the war and was even more successful than before.

He then went to Stowe School, following which he attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He graduated in 1930 with a commission as a second lieutenant in the British Army.

David Niven was assigned to the Highland Light Infantry (HLI). He served with the HLI for more than two years but did not enjoy his job. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1933, but did not see a future for himself in the military. In addition, his rebellious streak was also causing problems in his career.
He quit the army and travelled to different places in search of a more interesting profession. After spending short terms in Bermuda and Cuba, he finally arrived in Hollywood in 1934.
He struggled a lot initially, though eventually he was able to find minor acting roles in films. In 1935, he was cast in 'Mutiny on the Bounty' and his performance gained the attention of independent film producer Samuel Goldwyn, who signed him to a contract.
Over the next few years he appeared in several supporting roles in major films like 'Rose-Marie' (1936), 'Dodsworth' (1936), 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' (1936), and 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1937).
His reputation as a reliable and talented supporting actor led to leading roles in 'The Dawn Patrol' (1938), 'Three Blind Mice' (1938) and 'Wuthering Heights' (1939). A popular actor by now, he shared the screen with legendary performers like Errol Flynn, Loretta Young and Laurence Olivier.
Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, and Niven returned to his homeland to fight in what became the World War II. He was re-commissioned as a lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade in 1940 and took part in the Invasion of Normandy. He ended the war as a lieutenant-colonel.
He resumed his acting career after the war and played the leading roles in highly successful films such as 'A Matter of Life and Death' (1946), 'The Bishop's Wife' (1947) and 'Enchantment' (1948).
His career flourished throughout the 1950s as well. In 1956, he starred as Phileas Fogg in producer Michael Todd's 'Around the World in 80 Days', and portrayed Major Pollock in 'Separate Tables' in 1958 for which he won an Academy Award.
The 1960s saw him acting in 'The Guns of Navarone' (1961), 'The Pink Panther' (1963), and 'Where the Spies Are' (1965). In 1967 he played the role of Sir James Bond 007, a legendary British spy, in 'Casino Royale.'
A highly active individual, he continued acting well into the 1970s even though he was aging by now. Some of his later movies were 'Murder by Death' (1976), 'Death on the Nile' (1978) and 'The Sea Wolves' (1980).
David Niven played Major David Angus Pollock in the drama film 'Separate Tables' which also starred Rita Hayworth and Deborah Kerr. His role of an army man accused of sexually harassing several young women was well received by the audience and the film critics.
He portrayed Phileas Fogg, a refined and well-dressed Victorian gentleman, in the action adventure comedy film 'Around the World in 80 Days.' The movie was a critically acclaimed hit which won five Academy awards.
He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy in 1953 for the film 'The Moon Is Blue.'
In 1958, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Major Pollock in 'Separate Tables.'
He met and married Primula "Primmie" Susan Rollo in 1940. The happily married couple was blessed with two sons in quick succession. Tragedy struck the family when Primmie died in a freak accident in 1946.
A few years later he married Hjördis Paulina Tersmeden, a Swedish fashion model. The couple adopted two daughters, one of whom was rumored to be David's secret love child with a teenage girl.
David Niven began suffering from health problems during the early 1980s. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 1981 and after ailing for several months he died on 29 July 1983, at the age of 73.

Please explain the appropriate uses of a semi-colon, colon, and dash in laymen's terms.
A semi-colon is used when there are two coordinating ideas that are closely related, but are too long to be used in a single sentence. A colon is used before introducing a list (i.e.: I will be buying five things at the grocery store today: fruit, bread, meat, yogurt, and milk). A colon can also be used to provide emphasis on a single word after a description (i.e.: There is only one president who has shown bravery in the face of extreme fear and duress: Abraham Lincoln). Finally, a dash is used to provide additional detail to a sentence that is not necessarily needed, but provides additional information that may be of interest to the reader. Typically, if the words encased by the dashes are "covered up" by the reader, the sentence can still very easily be understood.
Please explain the phenomenon of the bystander effect in society. How does could this effect day to day life? What is a case that exemplifies the ramifications of the bystander effect?
The bystander effect is, put simply, the belief that someone else in a crowd will take care of an emergency or provide assistance so that you do not have to. For example, if a man is lying on the ground in pain and yelling for help, the bystander effect would tell those passing by that someone else will help him, call emergency services, etc., and that they have no obligation to provide assistance. This poses problems, as very real issues may occur that may not be addressed by those observing these instances. For example, it is taught to young children that you must point at someone and directly instruct them to dial 911 instead of just yelling out to the crowd to dial 911- when individual instructions are given, the person is more likely to follow through and provide assistance, whereas in the other instance, the crowd would simply assume it would be taken care of by someone else. An example is the case of Kitty Genovese, in which a young woman was raped and murdered with no intervention despite 38 witnesses being present.
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, there are multiple parental figures portrayed. Please pick two of these figures and explain why they could be considered to be parental figures in the story. What is their significance?
In Romeo and Juliet, two figures that could be considered parental include Juliet's nurse and the Friar. Juliet's nurse has known her since she was just a baby, and arguably knows Juliet better than her own mother. She provides encouragement to Juliet regarding her choices for Romeo and to find love, and ultimately contributes to the final tragedy that really creates the core of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar is arguably represented as a father figure to Romeo, as he, like Juliet's nurse, provides encouragement for Romeo regarding the relationship, and also acts as the catalyst for the tragedy. Through both of these characters the tragedy is able to take form, and the readers are also able to very much see the young age of both characters and the tragic love that takes hold of the story line.

IEX Exits Corporate Listings
IEX Exits Corporate Listings to Focus on Trading and New Technology Businesses
Streamlining business portfolio while on track for record year in market share, revenue and profit
September 23, 2019 08:10 AM ET
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IEX today announced that it is exiting the corporate listings business in order to focus on its exchange trading business, as well as the launch of three new technology ventures which revolutionize data access, messaging and transparency. Exiting listings has no impact on the types or number of securities that IEX can trade – IEX already trades over 6,000 National Market System (NMS) stocks and ETFs daily, and has grown to 3% market share, transacting more in notional value than the London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
"IEX is on pace for a record setting year in terms of market share, revenue and profits – so some might question why we are exiting any business. But with a thriving trading platform plus the launch of three new technology ventures this year, listings is no longer a business that makes sense for us when considering our strategy and the best use of our time, resources and capital," said Brad Katsuyama, Co-Founder and CEO of IEX Group.
"Interactive Brokers (IEX: IBKR) Founder and CEO Thomas Peterffy is an industry icon who I have great respect for," continued Mr. Katsuyama. "And after discussions with him about the future of listings, we jointly made the decision to announce IEX's exit from the listings business and IBKR's switch back to Nasdaq. We are extremely grateful that IBKR was our first listing as they were the first retail broker to trade on IEX and will continue to be a leading Member of our exchange."
Streamlining its businesses enables IEX to focus more resources on its trading product pipeline where the company expects to launch multiple new products in the next twelve months. These new offerings leverage the IEX Signal – patented machine-learning technology which has already benefited over 113 billion shares traded on IEX – and are designed to increase the types of participants and situations protected from predatory trading. As an example, new offerings this fall will be targeted towards corporate and retail participants:
"Corporate D-Peg" (C-Peg), an enhanced version of IEX's signature order type D-Peg, is powered by the IEX Signal: predictive analytics designed to protect brokers' corporate clients from certain types of aggressive trading strategies when buying back their own shares.
Two new order types designed to provide retail investors greater access to IEX's unique midpoint liquidity.
2019 has also been a landmark year for IEX's expansion beyond its stock exchange. IEX is launching three new businesses that leverage its proprietary technology to improve performance, fairness and transparency:
IEX Cloud: a developer platform designed to democratize access to financial data.
IEX Astral: a data platform built in collaboration with the world's largest asset managers to help them store, protect and use their complex trading data.
IEX Event Stream: a data messaging platform that utilizes IEX's core technology in areas outside of finance.
"The exchange trading landscape is on the precipice of major change and IEX stands to benefit as investors, brokers and regulators are more focused than ever on performance and transparency. And our team continues to expand with many key hires on both the technology and business side which gives us the talent to take our company to the next level and expand beyond capital markets," said Mr. Katsuyama. "Our goal is to never become complacent but to disrupt from a position of strength, and IEX has never been in a stronger position both strategically and financially."
Mr. Katsuyama also published an opinion piece on today's announcement: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-we-chose-exit-corporate-listings-business-bradley-katsuyama/
IEX will continue to serve as the primary listings exchange for Interactive Brokers (IEX: IBKR) until they switch to Nasdaq on October 7th.
About IEX Group, Inc.
IEX is a technology company committed to raising the bar for performance, fairness and transparency. In 2016, we launched the Investors Exchange, a stock exchange working to protect investors. In just three years, the Investors Exchange has grown to be one of the Top 10 largest exchange operators, globally, by notional value traded.

Hardentools: make Windows more secure by disabling features
by Martin Brinkmann on February 24, 2017 in Software - 9 comments
Hardentools is a free open source program for the Microsoft Windows operating system that will harden the system by disabling features.
The Windows operating system ships with a broad range of features. Some of these features are enabled for compatibility reasons on all editions of Windows.
While these features have their uses in certain environments, Enterprise for instance, they may not be used by the majority of home users.
The main idea behind Hardentools is to turn off these features to make Windows more secure in the process.
Note: You need to make sure that you don't require the features that Hardentools disables on Windows, as you won't be able to use them afterwards anymore. Read on to find out which features get disabled when you run the tool.
Hardentools review
Hardentools is a simple program. While it does ship with a graphical user interface, it does not provide users with many options however. In fact, the interface has only one button -- harden -- that users can click on to initiate the process. A restart is required to finalize the changes made to the operating system.
Note: The program features a restore option. You get it after you have applied the changes to the operating system, restarted the PC, and ran the tool again. This enables you to restore the features that the first run of the tool disabled.
It needs to be noted that the tool is not meant for public distribution yet according to the developers.
The developers plan to add a selection menu to the program in the future. For now, that one button is all you get.
Here is the list of features that Hardentools disables when you press that button:
Disables Windows Scripting Host.
Disables AutoRun and AutoPlay.
Disables powershell.exe, powershell_ise,exe, and cmd.exe execution via Windows Explorer.
Disables Microsoft Office Macros.
Disables Microsoft Office OLE object execution.
Disables Microsoft Office ActiveX.
Disables JavaScript in PDF documents in Acrobat Reader.
Disables the execution of objects embedded in PDF documents.
As you can see, the changes can have wide reaching consequences. Especially the disabling of PowerShell and Cmd need to be mentioned in the context.
This is obviously not a big issue for users who never run PowerShell or Cmd. All users who do however cannot use Hardentools right now because of the missing selection options.
Hardentools main feature currently is that it is dead easy to use. Users who want more control over the process can make individual changes manually instead.
While this requires a bit of research, it is usually not that hard, and it gives you more flexibility when it comes to hardening the operating system.
The biggest issue right now for home users is to determine whether a feature is needed or not. While you can simply go ahead and apply the changes, and see where that takes you after the restart, it is usually better to know beforehand.
Hardentools is an interesting project that may already be useful in certain situations and environments. Most users may want to hold off for now though because of the program's all or nothing approach to things right now.
This will change over time according to the developers, and that will certainly increase the application's reach significantly.
Now You: Have you hardened your operating system?

I use this tool to harden my systems….
"Our Simple Software Restriction Policy utility overcomes that. As the name suggests, it turns a complex piece of group policy editing into a simple matter of installing the utility and selecting a few options. What's more, if you need to suspend the policy, that is only a few clicks away and it takes effect immediately, no reboot needed.
A SRP has other advantages besides hardening the computer against malware. For example, it allows you to control the launching of programs from USB key or DVD, other routes by which unwanted software may find its way onto your computer.
Perhaps one of the best features of SSRP is that during normal use of the computer you hardly know it's there. No screen dimming, no continual nags. About the only time you need to interact with it, is if installing or removing software. In which case you can allow yourself 30 minutes to do the work, after which the policy will reinstate itself.
SSRP also offers a means of launching specified programs with limited rights. On legacy systems where the standard user is an Admin, this can very usefully restrict the damage that a compromised Web browser or email client can do to the system. (This feature is turned off by default since later Windows versions have their own means of achieving this, UAE. )"

'SBGuard Antiransomware' discussed on these pages is the best small utility to block all things nasty. When installing & updating certain programs you might have to temporarily disable it. Thats just a slight inconvenience though.
Tom Hawack said on February 25, 2017 at 11:03 am
Disables Windows Scripting Host : done with a simple Registry setting;
Disables AutoRun and AutoPlay.: done since always;
Disables powershell.exe, powershell_ise,exe, and cmd.exe execution via Windows Explorer : I need cmd.exe and disabling PowerShell isn't a priority;
Disables Microsoft Office Macros : no Office here;
Disables Microsoft Office OLE object executions : no Office here;
Disables Microsoft Office ActiveXs : no Office here;
Disables JavaScript in PDF documents in Acrobat Readers : no Acrobat Reader here;
Disables the execution of objects embedded in PDF documents : seems interesting, I wouldn't know how to do that with a Windows setting.
"The developers plan to add a selection menu to the program in the future." : seems required.

The Company dates back to 1958 when two textile artisans with the exact same name "Mario Cecchi", met. They shared a passion for home design and in order to decorate living areas with new products rooted in their cultural heritage, they established Cecchi& Cecchi- which in turn was acquired by Forte srl in 2007- and launched a home collection, remarquable in taste and quality, which has ever since told wonderful stories about Made in Italy Luxury items. The Company produces all kinds of home textiles: blankets, bedspreads, plaids, in a variety of natural and precious materials: cashmere, wool, alpaca, mohair, linen, cotton, silk, metallic threads. A selection of scarves and smart fashion accessories completes the offer. All lines, presented in the most important international trade fairs and followed with interest by home and fashion editors, are distributed in selective specialty and department stores in Europe, the USA and Japan.


3. Hearing about the stuff that drives other pregnant women crazy. Sure, I've got my own gripes, but other people's problems are so ... funny! One lady on my podcast was complaining that, while at the Starbucks the other day, the barrista exclaimed "wow! When are you DUE?!" Well, this lady was like 13 1/2 months pregnant and, judging by the reaction, apparently as big as a bus. What do you expect?!
4. That long dark line that develops along the bottom side of the belly. I don't have it. Finally something good comes from being insanely pale-skinned!
5. Emotional outbursts that don't make any sense. Well, sometimes they make *some* sense. Like when I see a baby and I tear up. Or if I'm so hungry I turn into a fussy child. But one time I was taking this new class at the gym - it basically entails hitting large exercise balls with drum sticks to music. The song "Its Raining Men" came on, and I was having so much fun drumming away and jumping around and singing along, I almost started to cry. Out of happiness. That's some weird hormones.
6. Water aerobics. I love the weightlessness, the easy exercise...but mostly the nonstop belly love from the older ladies. I feel like a celebrity in there! Tonight I turned around in the locker room to this series of awesome comments, "oh cute suit!" "oh look at you, you are ALL baby!" "so cute!" "you are absolutely adorable" "glowing!!" "when are you DUE?!"

BACKGROUND: Methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL) photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves selective accumulation of a photosensitiser, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), primarily in tumour tissue, which in combination with visible light and tissue oxygen results in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and thus cellular destruction. METHODS: A non-invasive fluorescence imaging system (Dyaderm, Biocam, Germany) has been employed to acquire colour (morphological) and fluorescent (physiological) images simultaneously during dermatological PDT. This system had been previously utilised for fluorescence diagnosis, however, here changes in PpIX concentration within the skin lesions and normal tissue were followed after MAL application. Measurements were also recorded from a synthetic PpIX standard. RESULTS: Results indicated that imaging distance, imaging angle, position of the region of interest and light conditions all altered the PpIX levels acquired from the synthetic PpIX standard. The imaging system was therefore adapted and a standard operating procedure developed allowing reproducible images of dermatological lesions to be acquired. Different concentrations of synthetic PpIX were analysed with the system and a linear relationship was observed between the PpIX concentration and the mean greyscale value calculated for the images acquired up to 10 microM. CONCLUSIONS: The Dyaderm imaging system can now be used reproducibly with confidence to semi-quantify PpIX (within the range of 0-10 microM) within dermatological lesions using the standard operating procedure derived from this work.

ANU hackers built 'shadow ecosystem' to stay hidden for six weeks
By Ry Crozier on Oct 2, 2019 5:13PM
Identity and amount of data exfiltrated still unknown.
The attacker that infiltrated the Australian National University's enterprise systems built up a "shadow ecosystem" of compromised machines - physical and virtual - that allowed them to stay undetected for six weeks.
The university released a 20-page post-incident report [pdf] on Wednesday that shone new light on the attack, which was publicly announced in June.
The intrusion was only detected in April "during a baseline threat hunting exercise". ANU said it engaged defence contractor Northrop Grumman to lead the cleanup effort and forensics.
ANU said the attack was initiated in November 2018 via a spearphishing email that was previewed by a senior staffer.
Its report lays out a detailed chronology of the attack.
"Based on available logs this email was only previewed but the malicious code contained in the email did not require the recipient to click on any link nor download and open an attachment," the university said.
"This 'interaction-less' attack resulted in the senior staff member's credentials being sent to several external web addresses.
"It is highly likely that the credentials taken from this account were used to gain access to other systems.
"The actor also gained access to the senior staff member's calendar - information which was used to conduct additional spearphishing attacks later in the actor's campaign."
The attacker is thought to have first used the stolen credentials to access a web server, and then moved internally to a "legacy server hosting trial software" that was scheduled for decommissioning in late 2019.
"Unfortunately, the server was attached to a virtual LAN with extensive access across the ANU network," ANU said.
ANU is uncertain how the attacker managed to access the legacy server, but suspects a "privilege escalation exploit was used to gain full control".
That server was then set up as an "attack station" over a period of two days. It was used - among other things - to sniff out other credentials on "monitored or redirected network traffic", and as a base to move laterally into other parts of the ANU network.
More spearphishing campaigns followed, along with the use of malware and password cracking, as the attacker searched for credentials that could be used to access databases and temporary storage underpinning key enterprise systems, such as HR and finance.
ANU inadvertently cut the attacker off from accessing the 'attack station' following a "routine firewall change".
This was fortunate for ANU in more ways than one. The attacker had "exhibited exceptional operational security during the campaign and left very little in the way of forensic evidence", but did not have time to clean up the first 'attack station' prior to being cut off from it.
"Analysis of attack station one is still underway at the time of this report," ANU said, noting it is the biggest source of forensic evidence available.
It took the attacker a fortnight but they were able to re-establish an entry point and create another 'attack station' using different infrastructure.
The attacker then tried to phish 40 staff with privileged accounts, sending an email called "New Planning for Information Technology Services".
A "handful" of account credentials were harvested, but ANU IT also detected the new 'attack station' and cut it off.
"At the time, however, this activity was treated as an individual event, by ANU IT, rather than part of a broader campaign," the university noted.
The attacker appeared to try again to re-establish a connection into the university's core enterprise systems in February this year, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
ANU said it is still unsure how much data was exfiltrated, and the nature of it, but said it "is highly likely" to be "much less" than the 19 years' worth of data first thought to have been lost.
"Despite our considerable forensic work, we have not been able to determine, accurately, which records were taken," vice-chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt said.
"However, our analysis has been able to establish that while the hackers had access to data up to 19-years-old, the hackers took much less than the 19 years' worth of data we originally feared.
"We also knew the stolen data has not been further misused.
"Frustratingly this brings us no closer to the motivations of the actor."
ANU said it was conducting a sweep of its IT environment to locate legacy gear and systems.
It is also segmenting, zoning and otherwise hardening its network, expediting the rollout of two-factor authentication, and reworking its risk management strategies.
Additionally, the university plans to run simulated attacks on its environmnent in future as part of ongoing preparedness.

Derry bomb attack shows futility of political violence

The van bomb exploded outside Derry court house on Saturday night. Picture by Margaret McLaughlin
Twenty-six years after the IRA killing of police officer, Michael Ferguson in Derry, Ireland remains partitioned.
More than a quarter of a century on - a life time - Ireland is as divided as it was in 1993. Police yesterday morning staged a re-construction of the shooting of Michael Ferguson at Shipquay Street just yards from the wreckage of the New IRA van bomb which exploded the night before. The two scenes graphically highlighted the utter futility of political violence as a means to achieve the re-unification of Ireland.
Those behind Saturday's bomb attack at Bishop Street courthouse could not possibly have believed they were striking a blow for Irish freedom never mind grinding the Northern legal system to a halt. The bomb exploded outside the heavily fortified security entrance to the building causing it little if any damage.
What they did achieve was widespread disruption and the focus of the world on Derry for all the wrong reasons.
Derry relies heavily on tourism. Since Derry's year as City of Culture in 2013, earnest efforts have been made to build the tourism industry and there has been considerable success. However, tourists don't visit areas where there is a real danger of being caught up in a bomb attack. Derry city centre manager, Jim Roddy said Saturday's attack did not cause any serious physical damage to the city's fabric but caused major "reputational damage".
Ireland is no nearer being re-united this morning than it was on Saturday morning. Apart from the jobs that may be lost by any fall in visitor numbers, Saturday's attack also further divides Irish unionists and nationalists – it's a strange way of trying to achieve unity. Is the message of the bombers still the same; if you don't agree with them, they'll try to bomb you until you do? Is that really the Ireland they're offering?

Mars and moon exploration passing through the european precision landing GNC test facility

In the frame of the ESA Aurora exploration program, the precision landing on Mars and Moon is of strategic importance because the ability to land on sites with high scientific interest is not a straightforward task. From here is the need to provide a dedicated test facility able to test Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) techniques and technologies, both vision and LIDAR based, in a realistic environment, in real time and as much as possible in a real scale. This is a fundamental step through which the planetary exploration will pass through in order to reduce the inherent risks associated with any landing mission. The ESA project named Precision Landing GNC Test Facility (PLGTF) has been conceived with this purpose, has been successfully started and, at the time of writing of the paper, has reached the detailed design phase. PLGTF will emulate a real lander dynamics during the powered descent phase in an atmospheric and non-atmospheric planetary environment, minimising the unavoidable scale factor to be applied. PLGTF is going to be the first ever-built facility with such a performance and it will be able to validate the entire GNC chain of a planetary landing system. The paper describes the PLGTF configuration for what concerns its first implementation, mainly devoted to validate the navigation function of a vision-based landing system and the associated sensor, and will also provide some preliminary information on the planned enhancements.

Travelers to Europe and the Middle East experience a variety of cultures, languages, customs and dress that are unique and varied and yet encompassed in a relatively small geographic scale. The refinement of centuries of European culture provide a real window into Western civilization and into the cultural and psychological background of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Middle East holds for the Western mind an exotic allure. Here are the mosques of Islam, the camels of the Bedouin, the belly dancers of Lebanon, the home of the Bible, the Koran and the Torah, the land of medieval Crusades and the cradle of civilization itself. Travelers discover that as a guest, they are treated in a time-honored tradition of hospitality and warmth, and have a unique opportunity to see many of the world's real treasures encased in as authentic a culture as will be found anywhere.

This page explores the similarities, differences, and best uses of a thermosiphon and a heat pipe.
Similarities Between a Thermosiphon and a Traditional Heat Pipe
The most basic thermosiphon shares the following elements with heat pipes:
Envelope material made from copper (most common), aluminum, or titanium.
The use of a working fluid such as water (most common), ammonia, methanol, or some kind of refrigerant.
An interior that's been vacuum-sealed to allow the phase change from liquid to vapor at lower temperatures than would occur at atmospheric pressure.
The ability to have a remote condenser with tubes that can be bent, flattened, and/or plated.
An evaporator portion of the device where heat is applied, a condenser portion that attaches to a fin stack where the vapor is cooled, and an in-between section called the adiabatic region.
Thermal conductivity 10-100 times that of solid copper.
Both devices essentially operate the same way, as seen in the figure below.
Thermosiphons & Heat Pipes Work the Same Way
When heat is applied to the evaporator portion of the device, some of the liquid turns to vapor and moves to an area of lower pressure, the condenser end. As it passes through the cooling fins, the vapor turns back to liquid. Lastly, the liquid is returned back to the evaporator where the cycle repeats itself
Differences Between Thermosiphons and Traditional Heat Pipes
Thermosiphons rely on gravity to move liquid back to the evaporator.
Thermosiphon Inner Workings
Because they have no wick structure to produce the capillary pumping action necessary to move the liquid back to the heat source, thermosiphons rely on gravity to do the job. From this perspective, heat pipes should be used anytime the heat sink assembly has the evaporator at the same level or above the condenser. In these situations, heat pipes rely on the wick structure to transport the liquid.
For a given diameter, thermosiphons have a higher Qmax than heat pipes.
The amount of vapor space available to carry a given load is a crucial factor in determining the device Qmax (maximum heat transport capacity in watts)
The sintered wick lining the walls of a heat pipe reduces the available vapor space, a key component to determining a device's Qmax. This isn't a problem for heat pipes as it's the capillary limit that determines its ability to transport heat. The chart below shows Qmax for various heat pipe sizes where the evaporator is directly below the condenser (+90 degree orientation).
Power Handling Capacity of Thermosiphon vs Heat Pipe
Wickless thermosiphons of the same diameter as heat pipes have 100-200% higher Qmax than the heat pipe counterparts, all because of the additional vapor space. See Celsia's heat pipe performance calculator.
Thermosiphons can carry heat farther distances than heat pipes
The simple reason thermosiphons operate more effectively over long distances has to do with the ease with which liquid can travel from the condenser to the evaporator. With a heat pipe, the water is transported through the wick structure which is usually porous sintered metal. In a thermosiphon, water easily flows back to the evaporator along the smooth or grooved inner walls.
While a heat pipe's practical heat transport limit is on the order to 1 to 2 meters, a thermosyphon can easily carry heat distances over 10 meters. This usually isn't an issue with electronics cooling as most applications will use these devices in distances less than a couple of meters, but worth mentioning nonetheless.
Thermosiphons are susceptible to damage caused by freezing
The fluid level required for a thermosiphon generally covers between 20-80% of the length of the evaporator, assuming the vessel is in a vertical orientation. This is significantly more than traditional heat pipes and can be problematic if water is used in conditions where they are exposed to freezing temperatures. After repeated freeze/thaw cycles, the expansion of water will form bulges in the evaporator section of the devise, eventually fracturing the enclosure wall. For thermosiphon designs using other fluids, freezing is generally not a concern.
Fluid Figure of Merit
Thermosiphon Variations
There are a couple of variations of this basic design that can improve thermal performance and/or reduce the possibility of structural damage due to freezing.
Thermosiphon with a partial sintered wick structure
Thermosiphon with a Partial Sintered Wick
Adding a sintered wick to the evaporator section lowers thermal resistance and increases the ability to handle higher power densities. It also allows optimization of the fluid charge, effectively reducing the required liquid. This all but eliminates the possibility of damage caused by freezing. In the bottom portion of the above figure, note that the wick is only used at the evaporator section of the thermosiphon.
Thermosiphon that separates the vapor section from the liquid return section
Loop Thermosiphon
Lastly, a loop thermosiphon can be used to separate the vapor flow from the liquid flow, further increasing Qmax. The vapor flow leads directly to the condenser where it cools and returns to liquid which travels back down to the evaporator. In the configuration to the right, the hollow evaporator at the bottom of the device uses a mechanism to prevent vapor from traveling up the liquid flow section but still allowing liquid to enter. The addition of a sintered wick to the evaporator allows less water to be used, decreasing the risk of damage caused by freezing.
Using Thermosiphons to Cool Electronics
Taking into account both the advantages and drawbacks of thermosiphons – when should they be used in electronics environments? Historically the number one use for these are in power electronics applications and recently some use in data centers. Power electronics would include stationary motor controllers in places like steel mills, mining, etc. Also transportation applications such as light rail and subway systems. Recently there has been renewed interest for data center applications as they move towards higher ambient temperatures and a reduced number of fans. Cooling in data centers accounts for about 33% of the operating costs, with cooling fans accounting for almost half that figure.
In summary, thermosiphons are still a relevant technology for cooling high power applications where the evaporator is below the condenser. Applications include power electronics such as IGBTs as well as radar systems, transmitters, and alternative energy generation
