Newington WWII Veteran Awarded French Knight of the Legion of Honor
More than seven decades after he served in World War II, John Faenza of Newington has received the highest possible military honor an American can receive from the French people.
With his wife, children, friends and former co-workers by his side, the 93-year-old Cedar Mountain Commons resident was awarded an honorary French Knight of the Legion of Honor.
"I'm speechless," said Faenza, who was a sergeant in the U. S. Army during World War II, assigned to a bomber wing in France that helped liberate the country near the war's end.
"The mission (of the bomber wing) was to conduct bombing missions throughout France and Germany," said Wayne Rioux, veterans liaison for Hartford HealthCare. "His job was to fly into enemy territory while they were receiving flak, be successful in the mission and come back home,"
French Consul General Anne Claire Legendre traveled from New York to personally pin this medal on a tearful and surprised Faenza.
"I'm here to express our deepest gratitude for the risks that you took and the sacrifice that you were willing to make to liberate my country," Legendre said. "This is the highest honor, created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the French emperor at the time. The support of the Allied forces coming from the U.S. was critical not only to our nation but to our lives personally."
Faenza is a regular at the monthly veterans coffees held at Cedar Mountain Commons, led by Rioux – himself a veteran. It was Rioux who helped Faenza navigate the lengthy medal application process, which included approval from the French Defense Ministry, and required the signature of the sitting French President, Emmanuel Macron.
Faenza – who is also a 30-year veteran of the Hartford Police Department – was overwhelmed to the point of tears, yet modest and grateful for the recognition.
"I didn't expect it, and I don't think I deserve this much honor. But I appreciate everyone that came here to see this very much," he said.

Bodies recovered from Russian plane crash in Jakarta
Rescuers comb wreckage of Russian jet that crashed on Indonesian mountain
Grim search under way in Indonesia
Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) — Bad weather hampered recovery efforts Friday as rescue teams combed a forbidding slope of an Indonesian mountain where a Russian jetliner crashed on a demonstration flight this week.
Rescuers found 12 bodies early in the day, according to Vice Marshal Daryatmo, head of the National Search and Rescue Agency, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.
It will take at least two weeks to identify the victims through DNA tests, Indonesian authorities said.
All 45 on board the Sukhoi Superjet 100 are feared dead.
The Superjet 100, Russia's newest passenger plane, slammed into Mount Salak, a volcano south of Jakarta, after disappearing from radar screens Wednesday.
Most of the wreckage is on a steep slope about 6,000 feet high, making it difficult to reach.
The cause of the crash remained unclear. The Russian Investigative Committee said it has launched a criminal probe into possible safety violations.
"We can understand how the families are feeling right now, and we want to do this evacuation as fast as we can, but the problem is the crash site terrain is unreachable by parachute," Daryatmo said at a news conference Friday.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced a joint investigation Friday after a phone call with his Russia counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
"I welcome the offer from Russian President Putin because the goal is to investigate what could have caused the plane crash," Yudhoyono said.
The Russian Investigative Committee had said 48 people were on board the plane, including eight Russian crew members. But the Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti said the number was 45, citing Sukhoi Civil Aviation President Vladimir Prisyazhnyuk as saying three of the people on the passenger list did not board the flight.
The plane was on a demonstration flight for Indonesian Ministry of Transportation officials and representatives of Indonesian airlines, the Russian Embassy in Jakarta said before the crash.
Indonesia's Sky Aviation signed a $380 million deal in 2011 to buy 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100s, and press reports said a number of Sky employees were on the plane that went down. Sukhoi employees are also among the missing.
It was the first crash of a Sukhoi Superjet 100, RIA Novosti said.
The plane was on its second demonstration flight Wednesday when it lost contact with air controllers at Jakarta's Halim Perdanakusuma Airport.
The Sukhoi jet arrived in Jakarta as part of a demonstration tour of six Asian countries. It had been to Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan, and was scheduled to visit Laos and Vietnam after Indonesia, RIA Novosti said.
Sukhoi manufactures military aircraft and is known especially for its fighter jets. Its civilian aircraft is narrow-bodied with a dual-class cabin that can transport 100 passengers over regional routes.
It flew its maiden flight in 2008 and has had encountered problems in the past.
In March, a Superjet 100 operated by Russia's Aeroflot Airlines was forced to abandon its flight to Astrakhan, Russia, and return to Moscow because of problems with the undercarriage, according to RIA Novosti.
A similar defect in another Aeroflot-operated Superjet 100 plane had to be fixed in Minsk in December. However, Russia's state-run United Aircraft Corp. said the defect did not affect passenger safety.

Commuter Rail Announces Spring/Summer Schedules Effective May 21
Adjustments intended to improve reliability, more service added to Boston
BOSTON – May 15, 2018 – Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis), the MBTA's partner that operates the commuter rail, today announced that spring/summer schedules go into effect on Monday, May 21. These minor changes are designed to utilize new or improved track infrastructure, eliminate freight conflicts and minimize train traffic that can cause congestion and delays.
Schedules are adjusted twice a year in close coordination with the MBTA to meet changing passenger needs, reflect investments and upgrades to the system and further improve on-time performance (OTP).
"Whether through investments made by the MBTA and Keolis or through minor adjustments to the schedule, we're always seeking to improve the passenger experience and reliability on commuter rail," said David Scorey, General Manager and CEO, Keolis. "This spring/summer schedule change seeks to achieve those goals with minor timing adjustments and to reflect the increasing demand at the new Boston Landing Station. Many passengers won't notice this schedule change, but we encourage all riders to check schedules before May 21."
Four additional trains will stop at Boston Landing Station on the Framingham/Worcester line, responding to increased ridership since the station opened one year ago. As part of the build-out for this new station, Keolis and MBTA teams installed a new switch and added double track to further improve service and in preparation for increased service. Similarly, Keolis and the MBTA successfully executed a program that significantly improved service on this line, turning it from one of the lowest-performing into one of the best performers, regularly above 90 percent OTP.
Other schedule changes include off-peak Train 118 on the Newburyport/Rockport line departing 10 minutes later to reduce potential train-to-train conflicts that can impact performance. On the Providence line, Train 8805 will combine with Train 801, an adjustment that continues the same service and schedule but on a different train. Passengers who previously took Train 8805 will now ride Train 801.
Kingston/Plymouth line Trains 060 and 061 will run outbound to Plymouth and then Kingston before proceeding to Boston. This change is in response to customer feedback and will reduce trip times to Boston from Kingston. Train 085 on the Greenbush Line will stop at Quincy Center to accommodate passengers affected by the Wollaston Station project.
Trains on all other lines will only see adjustments between one and two minutes, which helps in many cases to improve performance. The 10-year commuter rail OTP average is 87 percent, and for 2016, 2017 and year-to-date 2018 Keolis operations have exceeded that level by 2 percentage points.
The spring/summer MBTA Commuter Rail schedules can be viewed by browsing individual lines at https://www.mbta.com/schedules/commuter-rail. Customer service teams and Passenger Assistants will be available at major stations to answer questions leading up to May 21 to help ensure passengers are familiar with these changes. They will also have printed schedules available upon request at Boston's major stations. As a part of Keolis' ongoing efforts to instill environmentally-friendly policies, passengers are encouraged to "click, don't print" and download the newly updated Keolis Commuter Rail app to plan trips.

In 2010, Nadia Lopez founded Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a public middle school which is located in Brownsville, one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in New York City. Nadia's new book, The Bridge to Brilliance: How One Principal in a Tough Community Is Inspiring the World (Viking 2016), tells the moving story of a determined school principal's journey to help her students succeed against impossible odds.
The story has motivated others to explore what else can be done to support the thousands of other educators trying to reach children in difficult communities. Nadia has appeared on numerous national media shows. She was invited to the White House, to speak at Harvard and Yale, and has given a TED Talk on the "Revolution of Education." She was a top 50 finalist in the 2016 Global Teacher Prize. Additionally, each month she shares her perspectives on the critical issues in our education system as one of The Global Search for Education's Top Global Teacher Bloggers.
What does it take for principals and teachers to reach children in our most troubled communities? It is my great pleasure to welcome Nadia Lopez to The Global Search for Education.
You founded a school to strengthen a community. Your work has inspired a nation. What would you like readers to take away from your book?
I want readers to walk away understanding that education requires a holistic approach and should not be solely measured by assessments. There are beautiful challenges faced when teaching children, especially those who live in disadvantaged communities, but with conviction, faith, and ingenuity we can cultivate brilliance and provide hope for the future.
Brownsville is notorious for being a difficult environment for educators. What are the factors that make it challenging to raise children successful in academics?
There are a myriad of issues that present challenges to children achieving academic success in Brownsville. This community has the highest rate of unemployment, teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and various health risks (hypertension, asthma, cholesterol, cancer, diabetes). Post-traumatic stress issues related to abandonment, abuse, and poverty exacerbate mental issues that go untreated such as depression, schizophrenia, bi-polar, and anger that can make the focus on learning extremely difficult.
The students of Mott Hall Bridges are almost all Latino or African-American; they are often growing up in environments of poverty and violence. What made you driven to work with young people who are too often neglected and forgotten?
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where poverty and violence was just as normal as it is in Brownsville. But I had the privilege of being taught by passionate and dedicated teachers, who saw beyond race and socio-economics. They were always in pursuit of providing a quality education that would empower and inspire children. They were the examples in my life that drove me to work with young people who have been neglected and forgotten, and believe that they are invisible in this world.
How do we do better nationally to inspire young black and brown students to believe in their own capacity for success?
Black and brown students view their capacity of success based on what they are exposed to in school, their community, and the media. Changing the narrative from poverty, crime, and violence associated with black and brown children, to inventors, pioneers, and creatives responsible for starting business, impacting the tech industry, and developing inventions, reinforces their potential of success. And offering 21st century classes such as social justice, horticulture, entrepreneurship, coding, and arts programs. Children must also be able to see themselves in other people and taken to places where they should know they belong, which is why our scholars take field trips to college. I have also designed programming that connects professionals to our classrooms throughout the year. For instance, Digital Day allows people of color in digital and tech spaces to share their journey to their career and how they have overcome adversities to lead within their industries. Our young men participate in 'I MATTER' that gives them access to mentors who are men of color pioneering within law, fashion, entertainment, STEAM careers, and entrepreneurship. For our girls, we offer 'She is Me,' a program that provides a safe space for sharing personal stories, networking with women who are successful within their communities and their careers, as well as conferences on topics that impact their social well-being.
What can we do to close the school-to-prison pipeline? What are ways that our system reinforces the failures of these wonderful young people?
Children from disadvantaged communities who are assessed with culturally and socio-economically biased exams are likely to reflect low achievement, which impacts their promotion, opportunities of taking advance placement classes, and preparation for colleges and careers. As a nation, we should focus on the pre-K to college pipeline, which sets the pathway for our children and their future. Taking children on field trips to visit high schools and colleges plants the seeds of where they can go and where they belong. This would also bridge communication amongst educators across grade levels to analyze the gaps that exist within our education system, to identify the resources that are needed at each level to ensure the success of children and to prepare them for college and future careers. We need a holistic approach to measure the whole child, not just an assessment that does not take into consideration growth and progress over time.
What needs to be done outside of school and outside of the classroom to support students in unstable financial situations to succeed in the classroom?
Children from unstable financial situations need to be taught financial literacy to better understand the value of and how to manage money, along with saving while they are young. Because the average income in Brownsville is $28,000, all scholars in seventh grade at Mott Hall Bridges Academy take a year-long entrepreneurship program. The purpose is to ensure that they learn how to create their own goods and services that have the potential of becoming a business that can provide income for the scholars and support their families. Lastly, mentorship is essential to providing access beyond the classroom and surrounding community. Children who are exposed to careers and landscapes of opportunity can see possibilities beyond the limitations they have been conditioned to accept as normal.
What would you impart to young teachers from upper/middle class backgrounds who are coming into places like Brownsville, Bed-Stuy, and the South Bronx? What do they need to know about the young people they are working with that they might not immediately understand?

What a week in Southwest USA! A double dose of national park adventure sandwiched between three unforgettable cities. This Arizona & California, with a pinch of Nevada tour promises cacti, canyons, epic waterfalls, bright lights and fun times on the iconic Route 66.
Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best overnight stops, highlights and included experiences, with plenty of optional activities to choose from. No two California tour holidays are the same, with stops at some of your tour leader's favourite places and occasional changes to the itinerary, so get ready for one awesome adventure!
Mark the start of your trip in Los Angeles before leaving city life behind as you travel through California to the vast cactus-prickled desert of Arizona. Take a dip in the Colorado River and spend the evening in nearby Parker. It's your first night with your new-found friends, so get that campfire roaring and the s'mores toasting.
Today you drive along a section of the original route 66 to Seligman. A town frozen in time and a great place to pick up some fab Route 66 memorabilia for your friends and family back home. Perhaps treat yourself to an ice cream at the Snow Cap Diner?! Once you've had your fill of pure Americana, next up is Las Vegas for the ultimate party pit stop! The Strip, the shows, the over the top hotels; Sin City's glitziest and hottest spots are sure to impress as you cruise the Las Vegas Boulevard on an included party bus! If heights don't scare you, head to the top of the Stratosphere to ride some of the world's highest roller coasters or take a helicopter flight down The Strip and see this neon city from the sky. It's also possible to get married in Vegas…don't worry, it's not legally binding - unless you want it to be - so live for the moment!
Today is the final day of your Trek adventure, but that doesn't mean the fun is over, oh no! Your next and final stop is the awesome city of San Francisco. Famous for its waterfront full of tasty seafood, and what is probably one of the world's most iconic landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge, which you'll have the opportunity to walk across. If you have extra time here, explore the quirky bars and cafes where the beatnik generation hung out, or grab a bite to eat in Chinatown. You'll never be bored in San Francisco!
This trek has everything! Cities and sight seeing, hiking in Yosemite and Grand Canyon oh and camping on both places too. Camping in Arizona is also awesome, also did you know Arizona has it's own London Bridge? Yups literally shipped over from London and you will get to see it! A London like me found it funny. VEGAS!!! Be prepared for some awesome surprises! Of course can't not mention LA/Hollywood! And also San Francisco isn't a shabby place to finish a trek! I would recommend a a day in LA before hand to get over jet lag but also to have trip to Santa Monica and see the beach!
Jumping on a plane on my own to travel the west coast with a group of strangers was the best thing I ever did. Honestly places like Yosemite and Grand Canyon you really do have to see to believe how incredible they are, Vegas is a whirlwind and the party bus is hilarious. Our tour leader Bryson was both leader and a friend and made the whole trip way better. We went running into Colorado river at midnight on our first night together, we all gelled so quickly. The camp sites were amazing, the bus is really comfy, the feel of the whole trip is just fab.


help. These are really great folks with the best intentions.
way we have seen people inspired into action by Occupy Wall Street.

In Robert Kirkman's Thief of Thieves, world-renowned thief and conman Conrad Paulson gives up his life of stealing in favor of a new life of stealing... from other criminals. Naturally, Paulson's former colleagues don't take kindly to his new lifestyle and he's forced to go on the run.
Ongoing monthly since February 2012, Thief of Thieves has followed Paulson on his journey to win back his estranged family and finally settle down into the sort of simple life he's always dreamed of. In the books, Paulson hasn't quite achieved his goal yet. In a new video game from Skybound Entertainment and Finnish indie studio Rival Games, he'll look back at the time he spent training Celia, his former apprentice.
From the looks of it, most of Thief of Thieves' mechanics use stealth and information-gathering, while the story itself will fill in some of the history between Celia and Paulson that's missing from the original comic. Early demos of the game will be available to play at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, and the game is planned for release sometime next year. Take a look at the first gameplay trailer below.

Sick Canard out of Supercross
- March 31, 2017 March 31, 2017
KTM Factory Team rider Trey Canard will miss the remainder of the AMA Supercross Series after struggling with a virus the past few weeks. Given that Canard is not in championship contention, his KTM team and he feel it is best that he sit out the remainder of the Supercross season in order to focus on getting healthy for the outdoor series which will start in May.
Canard said: "I am extremely saddened to sit out the rest of the series; it has been a disappointing season for me to say the least. I've been dealing with severe fatigue issues and need to figure my body out so that I can race at 100% not only for myself, but for everyone who continues to support me. Competing at the level we do requires you to be at your healthiest in order to remain competitive and safe on the track. I just don't feel like I'm there and I think its best I fully recover so I can give the outdoor series my undivided attention. I want to thank everyone for being so understanding and assure those who continue to believe in me that I will do everything within my power to be at my very best as soon as possible."
Red Bull KTM Factory Team Manager, Roger De Coster stated: "We fully support Trey's decision to focus on getting healthy and turn his effort toward being ready for the motocross season. We look forward to being able to get an early start on motocross testing with Trey to make sure he along with his teammates have their KTM 450 SX-F's dialed-in from the start of the series."

Gri: A Language for Scientific Illustration
by Dan E. Kelley
Like other computer users, scientists sometimes find themselves torn between simple tools and complex tools, between ease of use and power.
Take writing, for example. The simplest tools for writing are those of the office-suite variety, because they are GUI-based. If you can click and point, you can produce results quickly without climbing a steep learning curve.
However, you might also pay a price for this shallow learning curve. Many technical writers who make extensive use of mathematical notation find GUI-based products to be both limiting and annoying when used for anything but a one-pager. For example, graduate students in our research field (Physical Oceanography) often write hundreds of equations in their dissertations. Almost without exception, these students use markup languages (mostly TeX and LaTeX) for this work. It must be admitted that markup-based writing tools are harder to learn than GUI-based tools, but the effort of learning is rewarded with precise control over output that is aesthetically pleasing and flexible enough to meet all reasonable demands.
What goes for words also goes for pictures. For quick jobs, it's lovely to use a GUI-based graphing package or a spreadsheet. However, many users prefer a markup-based system for complicated illustrations, for the same reasons they prefer a markup-based system for complicated text. An additional factor is that GUI-based systems cannot help with illustrations that must be generated automatically without human intervention.
An interesting example is provided by storm-surge forecasts prepared by oceanographers at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada. Storm surges are unusual elevations in sea level that are driven by anomalous wind stresses and low atmospheric pressures associated with storms. These surges can cause considerable damage to low-lying areas. Since damage is worsened if a surge happens to occur at the time of a high tide, it is important to make precise predictions of surge arrival times. Surge-induced damage can be greatly reduced if people are given sufficient warning of impending storm surges. Dalhousie researchers have developed numerical ocean models, akin to numerical weather models, for predicting the incidence of storm surges in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The goal is to provide advance-warning systems that display surge forecasts graphically on the Web. Gri is used for the graphics in this system, because it can be run without human intervention. It is so flexible, researchers can tailor the illustrations to be quickly understood by non-technical users.
We mention this storm-surge example mostly because we find it interesting. Many folks use Gri, so we could have picked other examples of Gri applications in different disciplines of science and engineering. To help you decide whether Gri might help you in your own work, we will explain how to use Gri for some basic scientific illustrations (line graphs, contour graphs and image graphs). This will be enough to get you up and running in a few minutes. After that, we'll outline a few examples from our own work and that of colleagues. In this second part, we won't be hesitant about explaining the scientific background of the work, since we've enjoyed reading such things in this magazine.
One feature scientists like about Gri is that it provides fine control over nearly all aspects of the appearance of the output. This is relevant because scientists have diverse needs, ranging from complicated working plots to pared-down and elegant diagrams for use in proposals, conference presentations and publications. Many Gri users report it is flexible enough to satisfy the full range of applications, removing the need to learn one tool for working plots and another for "publication-quality" illustrations.
Gri achieves its flexibility by being highly configurable; it has many knobs you can twiddle. Just because the knobs are there doesn't mean you need to touch them, since the Gri defaults are reasonable for many applications. The reasonableness of the defaults may well result from the fact that Gri was designed by a scientist for his research work, not by a committee or a corporate structure that had surveyed (or imagined) a market.
Line Graphs
Perhaps the best way to illustrate the defaults and the simplicity of Gri is to show how one would produce the most common form of scientific illustration, a line graph describing x,y data. To be specific, let's suppose we have an ASCII file named linegraph.dat, containing the following x,y pairs:
Creating a line graph then takes just three Gri commands:
open linegraph.dat
read columns x y
draw curve
If these commands were stored in a file called linegraph.gri and if Gri were invoked as gri linegraph.gri in a UNIX shell, the result would be a PostScript file named linegraph.ps as shown in Figure 1. Gri does not draw to the screen, because screen-drawing libraries are more limited than PostScript and high-quality PostScript viewers are freely available on all platforms.
Figure 1. A Simple Line Graph Produced by Gri
The example illustrates a few things. To begin with, Gri syntax is simple, being patterned on English and purposefully using a minimum of punctuation. For example, the open command takes as an argument the name of the file containing the data. This file name is not enclosed in parentheses, as it would be in a subroutine-based language. We think the lack of parentheses makes Gri easier to read than some languages. Nor is there any need for the file name to be enclosed in quotation marks, although these are required for file names with spaces in them (and for pseudo-file names created by UNIX pipe commands, which are supported in the Perl style).
Now let's move on to the read line. Gri knows of four types of data: scalars, columns, grids and images. These types are what you'd expect: scalars hold numerical values or strings, columns hold lists of numbers, grids hold two-dimensional matrices and images hold pixels. Each data type has a host of associated read commands and data-processing commands. Folks who are used to programming languages should note that Gri is an illustration-oriented language, not a programming-oriented one, so it attaches special meanings to columns. Thus, the columns named x and y in the example above correspond to the x,y values in a Cartesian space. Gri also has a column named z used for gridding, a column called w used for weights in statistical operations, columns called u and v for vector fields, etc.
The draw curve command tells Gri to draw a curve composed of line segments connecting these points. You may not be surprised, given the focus on drawing, to learn that Gri has many options for draw--over 40, in fact. For example, to get symbols drawn at the data points, you could add the line draw symbol someplace after the read command. This will draw bullets at the x,y points. Bullets are the default, but Gri provides a dozen other symbol choices. The symbols are designed according to the recommendations of scientific journals and technical-drafting texts. For example, efforts have been made to ensure that the superposition of any two symbols does not result in a symbol that can be mistaken for a third symbol type. The default symbol size is a diameter of 0.1 cm (defined in the expected way for a bullet, and in a reasonable way for non-circular symbols). If this doesn't suit your application, you could issue a command such as set symbol size 0.2 to create larger symbols (in this case, 0.2 centimeters). This is by no means the only set command. It has many options, since Gri is designed to be configurable. Indeed, there is an average of nearly two set commands for each draw command.
In addition to such basic commands and a few others discussed next, Gri provides programming features such as "if" statements, loops and system calls. It also provides a simple scheme for creating new commands to complement the existing commands; e.g.,
Draw Logo
... Gri commands to draw a logo
creates a new command to draw a logo. This command is invoked by Draw Logo, just as if it were a built-in command. Many users store such definitions in a file called ~/.grirc and thus customize Gri for the sort of work they do.
Gri updates its PostScript output file step by step as it processes commands. When Gri executes any drawing command, the item is drawn with whatever settings (fonts, colors, line widths, etc.) are in place at that time. To use an artistic analogy, draw will paint with whatever color has been stored on the brush with the most recent set command. Many other scripting graphic languages follow a different approach, with some commands being able to alter the form of material that has already been drawn (e.g., axis in matlab). Such languages are meant to be used interactively in an exploratory way, so it makes sense to have this out-of-order processing. However, Gri processes commands in order, because it is designed to be used non-interactively in a planned way.
Gri scripts are not typically written in one large chunk. Instead, Gri users typically write their scripts a bit at a time, running Gri at frequent intervals to see what the results look like. Some like to keep a PostScript viewer open at all times, clicking on an update button every time they run Gri. Most Gri users run it from inside Emacs, which has a button that runs Gri and displays the output. This is but one helpful feature of the Gri Emacs mode. It also provides syntax coloring, indentation, linkage to the on-line Gri documentation, command-specific help, command completion and a search facility that lists all Gri commands containing a given word.
Contour Graphs
Whereas line graphs can be accomplished in as little as three commands, contour graphs are not much more complicated. Suppose we have a file called temp.dat that contains measurements of ocean temperature made once per decade, over the period from 1950 until 2000, at depths of 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters and so on, up to the surface at 0 meters. The natural way to store such a dataset is in a matrix or "grid" in Gri. There are three steps to drawing this in Gri.
# First, set up the x,y vertices of
# the grid ...
set x grid 1950 2000  10
set y grid  0    500 100
# then read the grid data ...
open temp.dat
read grid data
# and plot contours:
draw contour
As you can see, comments in Gri start with the pound sign, as in many other scripting languages. In this example, a uniform grid is used (i.e., time increasing by 10 years between samples), but non-uniform grids are also easy to handle. For many applications, grids are read in from data files instead of being specified in the command file. As for the drawing of the contours, that's fairly easy since Gri can determine, by scanning the grid, a reasonable default range of contours.
Image Graphs
Images are not much harder to deal with. There are many image formats in this world, and Gri handles only a few. This causes few problems, since good conversion programs are available (e.g., ImageMagick). Let's suppose we have a raw (headerless) image file in 8-bit resolution. The 8-bit pixels have 256 possible values, in the range 0 to 255. Satellite-derived measurements of ocean temperature are typically in this format. A common scale for the data is that 4.9 Celsius gets a pixel value of 0 while 30.4 Celsius gets 255, with linear variation in between. Let's say that the image is 512 pixels by 512 pixels, and that the geographical coverage spans a box with the lower-left corner at x=0 and y=0 and the upper-right corner at x=20 and y=20. We want the image drawn with blue for cold water and red for warm water. Listing 1 shows how to handle this in Gri. As you can see, it is quite easy to make Gri create line graphs, contour graphs and image graphs.
Listing 1.
A quick note about file names and other properties. In the examples given so far, we always specified the names of the data files in the script, but that means users have to modify the file for use with other data. For this reason, many scripts use a command called query to ask the user the name of the input file. This command stores a user's answers into variables that may later be used in open commands. The query command has an option to provide a list of permitted answers (e.g., "yes" and "no") so that users cannot make mistakes. In many laboratories, query is used extensively, so that novices can use complicated Gri scripts without having to edit Gri scripts they don't yet understand. This lets students dive into their research instead of getting too distracted with the tools of the work.
Radionuclides Reveal Ocean Mixing
Let's turn to a more complicated example, based on an illustration from one of our research papers. Here, and in the remainder of this article, we will show only fragments of the Gri code, to illustrate topics not already covered.
A key issue in understanding the climate system is the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere. The heat capacity of the top three meters of the ocean is equal to that of the entire atmosphere, but everyone knows the ocean is more than three meters deep. In fact, the mean depth is more like three kilometers. Given this, it is not surprising that the ocean is important to the heat balance of the planet and thus to the climate system. Beyond the ability to soak up heat from the sun (or re-release it), the ocean has currents that transport heat from one location to another. The exact pathways of this transport are not fully mapped out yet, and we are still unsure of some fundamental dynamical aspects of the system. A great deal of evidence suggests that vertical mixing in the ocean is very important to these patterns of heat flow. Thus, ocean mixing is important not just to the ocean itself, but also to the whole climate system. This is a prime motivation for studies of ocean mixing, which is our research specialty.
One good way to observe mixing is to insert a tracer and see where it goes. This is not as easy as it sounds, so oceanographers also make great use of tracers that are naturally occurring or introduced without the specific intention of studying mixing. An example of the latter is a suite of radionuclides introduced into the atmosphere by atmospheric bomb testing carried out by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. in the 1960s. These radionuclides have found their way into the ocean. One radionuclide, a hydrogen isotope named tritium, is especially useful for studying ocean mixing. Figure 2 shows a plot from a paper (see Resources) in which one of us, together with a geochemist colleague named Kim Van Scoy, tried to work out the rate of ocean mixing by tracing the movement of tritium over several decades.
Figure 2. A Contour Illustration, Showing the Depth of Maximal Concentration of Tritium in the Ocean
Our approach was to do time derivatives of properties that are spatially averaged over a particular geographical area. The area is defined by the streamlines of the average ocean circulation pattern. Now, averaging gridded data is easy: just sum along the rows and columns of the grid. Unfortunately, however, our observations were not made on a grid. As Figure 2 shows, the observations are at manifestly non-uniform locations which correspond to ship tracks on cruises designed with other goals in mind. Our first step, then, is to cast these x,y,z data onto a uniform x,y grid. After reading in the columns and setting up an x,y grid (exactly as discussed above), we create the grid by using
convert columns to grid barnes
This is our first example of a convert command. Commands in this category perform conversions from one data type to another. Since contouring works on a grid, we must convert column data into the grid. In this case, we have chosen to use the so-called "barnes" method of gridding, which is but one of several gridding methods in Gri (see Resources). The method applies a Gaussian-weighted low-pass filtering (averaging) scheme that is run iteratively. Initial iterations map out the large-scale variation in the field, while later iterations fill in details in regions where the data sampling is intense enough to justify doing so.
In the previous example, we let Gri pick contours; in fact, that is how we started out with the working plots that led to the diagram shown in Figure 2. For publication, however, we ended up deciding to highlight certain contours by drawing them with thicker lines:
set line width rapidograph 00
draw contour 50 unlabelled
set line width rapidograph 2
draw contour 100
where the "rapidograph" method of naming line thicknesses by the scheme used for Rapidograph technical fountain pens has been used. Line widths may also be given in units of printer points.
At this stage, we had the scientific result we wanted. We used the Gri command write grid to write the gridded data into a file, then we integrated the values with a Perl script (called from within Gri with a system command), then we were done with part of the work. For presentation, we wanted to draw this in a map format, so we started by customizing the axes a bit:
set x name ""
set y name ""
set x format %.0lf$\circ$
set y format %.0lf$\circ$
The first two commands remove the names x and y from the axes by setting the names to blank strings. The second two set the format of the axis numbers, using the notation of the C programming language. We also added a LaTeX-like part to the format (enclosed in dollar signs) to make Gri draw degree signs for longitude and latitude. Gri can draw Greek letters and mathematical symbols in this way, although the emulation of TeX is by no means complete, since it is a daunting task.
A map isn't too helpful without coastlines. Since coastline files are quite big, our system retains the data in a binary format for quick reading. We use the format called netCDF, which is quite popular in earth science (see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/). Out of the many advantages to this format, one is quite relevant to Linux users: it is fully binary-compatible across big-endian and little-endian computers and across computers with different word lengths. It also permits naming of data entities, so you don't have to remember that the first column is latitude and the second longitude, or vice versa. Gri handles netCDF format easily:
open map_land.nc netCDF
read columns x="lon" y="lat"
is all it takes to read the coastline data. We'll fill in the coastline with a light brown color, and then draw a black coastline:
read colornames from RGB "/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt"
set color burlywood
draw curve filled
set color black
In addition to X11-based colors and a dozen or so familiar colors above like black, Gri permits you to specify colors in either an RGB or an HSV framework.
Viewing the Ocean with Satellites and Ships
Speaking of colors, a common application of Gri is generating illustrations of color images. Within oceanography, such images often fall into two broad categories: fields generated by numerical models and fields generated by satellite observation. In each case, the advantage of Gri over tools that are more image-based is that Gri invites the user to draw other graphical elements as well as the images.
Figure 3 provides a good example, showing some of the work in the ECOLAP program, spearheaded by oceanographers at the Rio Grande University in Brazil (see http://www.peld.furg.br/). This research group has a ten-year program to measure and understand the physical and biological variability of the Brazil Rio Grande estuary and the adjacent sea. Figure 3 shows a satellite image of ocean temperature, and the location of ship-based observations made on 22 February 2000. Land is colored a ruddy brown in the figure, and the palette indicates sea surface temperature as measured by the satellite. The processing of the satellite image is done exactly as described in the more hypothetical example given near the beginning of this article. The two panels are drawn simply by changing axes and redrawing. The palette was drawn with a command called draw palette, the guiding lines were drawn with the commands draw box and draw line and the labels were drawn with draw label. By now, you may be getting the impression that it's pretty easy to guess the names of Gri commands. This guessing isn't necessary; just type "draw" in the Emacs mode and press the ESC key followed by the TAB key, and the mode will display all commands starting with the word "draw", i.e., all drawing options.

A noteworthy feature of Figure 3 is the use of symbols to indicate the locations at which ship measurements of ocean properties were made. These ship-based observations usually run from the ocean bottom to the surface, and typically involve measurements of physical properties of the water as well as biological properties, such as the occurrence of different species through the depths. In past decades, oceanographers were greatly challenged to explain patterns in ship-based observations, and Figure 3 illustrates why. Consider the ship sample near the middle of the larger image. It lies in a thin filament of cold water (green color), whereas the other samples lie in warmer water. To some extent, the biology is just "along for the ride" as currents move water from one place to another, so it might not be surprising if this middle sample had different biological characteristics (e.g., species typical of cold water) than the nearby stations. The superposition of satellite and ship data on one graph, which is so easy to accomplish in Gri, provides a powerful insight into the systems under study.
It almost goes without saying that the script-based nature of Gri is important in constructing such diagrams. Nothing about this diagram was prepared with a mouse, and nothing in the Gri script requires modification for another cruise of the ship (since query commands are used to set up all file names). As soon as the ship does an observation and a latitude-longitude pair is written in a data file, the Gri script can be rerun and a new diagram prepared.
New Ways to Measure Ocean Mixing
Understanding turbulent flow is one of the grand challenges in physics, and ocean mixing provides a good example. The ultimate goal is to be able to predict mixing, which is a small-scale phenomenon that is difficult to measure, based on large-scale properties that are easy to measure. One proposed technique is to examine vertical variation of water density on intermediate scales. If this can be done, it will greatly expand our database of ocean mixing knowledge, since density measurements are common. But can it be done? This question was addressed in the Ph.D. dissertation of the second author. Figure 4 shows a diagram patterned after a paper about this work. The illustration shows two things. The red image shows a theoretical prediction of where mixing should be occurring, through time and through depth. The blue-filled curves show where mixing actually occurred.
Figure 4. Indicators of Mixing in Surface Regime of Ocean
To be more specific, the red image shows the so-called Richardson number. Theory indicates that the type of mixing known as Kelvin-Helmholtz overturning can occur only when the Richardson number, a measurement of the competition between stabilizing and destabilizing effects, falls below a critical value of 1/4. We measured the variation of the Richardson number over depth and time on a grid. Our first inclination was to contour this, but since we wanted to superimpose other things, we decided to use an image instead for clarity. The gist of the Gri code can be guessed from what you've read so far, the only new feature being the use of the command convert grid to image to transform our grid data into an image that can be colored. We drew the image in shades of red by running the color scale across intensities of the red hue, instead of across hues as in the previous example. We did this because we wanted to superimpose another curve of a certain color, and that would be difficult to discern with a spectrum below. The image indicates that mixing should occur in a band that lies roughly at 17 meters deep and that this mixing band should bob up and down over the time of observation.
With the theory painted in red, we'll turn to the observations. Blue seemed to look pretty, so we started by drawing blue vertical lines corresponding to the times when a density-measuring probe was lowered from the side of the ship. We call the density variation with depth a density "profile". The seawater density in the ocean normally increases with depth, because heavy water sinks and buoyant water rises. However, eddying mixing motion can overturn this density profile, momentarily lifting heavy water above light water. With sufficiently precise density probes, this sort of mixing can be revealed graphically by plotting the difference between the observed density profile and an artificial profile created by reordering the density data to make density increase monotonically with depth. We keep track of the distance individual points had to be moved in the reordering process and call this the "Thorpe displacement profile". This profile gives an indication of the intensity and extent of mixing patches. We draw these Thorpe profiles with a filled curve, as in the command
draw curve filled to x 0.0
We do this once for each profile, after first redefining the axes so that x=0 corresponds to the time of the ship observation.
You may agree that the observations are in rough agreement with the theory, since the observed depths and times of high mixing rates (blue curves) appear to match with the theory (red image). The main implication of this is not that low Richardson numbers yield mixing; we already knew that, from experiments in the field and in the laboratory. Rather, the main implication is that our density probe is capable of picking up mixing signals of this particular strength. This is important, because the instrument we were using is much more common than the instruments normally used to measure mixing. For more on how and why the technique works, we encourage you to consult our paper, which, we might add, employs Gri for every figure.
Notice that the axes in this diagram lie outside the box in which the data are drawn. The second author prefers this style, while the first prefers the conventional style. In this, as in most things, Gri offers you a choice.

As Class 1 ADR Driver you can make some good money, however the work is ball bustin and they expect their pond of flesh. Its heavy dirty work and your expected out in all weathers. Be prepared to have a strong stomach too as some of the hospital waste is mingin especially in summer when its been sweating in plastic tubs for days on end.
Poorly run Transport dept + your face had to fit.
early starts when on hgvs but normally ment you were finished early .
management are ok quite helpful when needed ,but remember they are there to make money for the company .
good banter with drivers and plant staff .
Days can vary from home early to a very long day.
I have learned a lot about different types of waste and needs of customers ie: nhs.
The hardest part of the job would be the demands can change constantly.
Job satisfaction is a plus.
Going through organisational change quite badly. The organisation needs more focus and to harness the efforts of some great team members. It will take a while for the global approach to show any benefits.
The atmosphere they create is very enjoyable, the team efficacy is good and on the whole the managing team are incredibly personable. the only downside is the high number of temps due to the nature of their work. Not that temps in themselves are a problem but with a high turnover of staff building relations can be difficult especially if the temps are in managerial positions.
It's a great work place you learn something new everyday.
The office environment was very friendly. a typical day at work included balancing incoming paper work from the drivers, replying to cases on salesforce and other administrative duties.
working closely with managers, collegues and drivers.

Gallery Gondwana has a reputation world wide in the field of contemporary indigenous art, provenance assured.
Gondwana is the name of the great supercontinent and the vision when it was founded by Roslyn Premont in Alice Springs in 1990 was to showcase not only Australian indigenous art but of that of neighbouring countries as well. She has achieved that by recently opening a gallery in Fiji.
For more than 25 years it operated a gallery in Alice Springs along with an artist studio to support the practice of key artists such as Dorothy Napangardi, Julie Nangala Robinson, Dr George Tjapaltjarri, Barney Campbell Tjakamarra, Polly Napangardi Watson, Gracie Pwerl Morton and Fijian born multi-media artist, Rusiate Lali.
It also had a Sydney Gallery in Danks Street, Waterloo from 2002-2007 with a strong exhibition schedule showcasing art from various art centres from all over Australia.
A founding member (as the first Secretary) of Art Trade (now known as AAAA Australian Aboriginal Art Association), it was also a member of the ACGA (Australian Commercial Galleries Association.
In Alice Springs, Gallery Gondwana now operates from a beautiful Showroom which clients are welcome to visit by appointment and through their online presence.


Peter T. Wendel, Wills Act Compliance and the Harmless Error Approach: Flawed Narrative Equals Flawed Analysis?, 95 Oregon L. Rev. 337 (2017).
In the law of Wills, the testator's intent is of upmost importance. If there is clear and convincing evidence of a testator's intent, then a document intended to be his or her will should be probated, right? Not so fast—according to Professor John Langbein, in a jurisdiction that has adopted the strict compliance approach to Wills Act formalities a document will not constitute a validly executed will if all of the statutory requirements are not met, even when evidence shows that the testator intended the document to be his or her will. Langbein penned substantial compliance and harmless error proposals as alternatives to strict compliance. In Wills Act Compliance and the Harmless Error Approach: Flawed Narrative Equals Flawed Analysis?, Professor Peter T. Wendel asserts that Professor Langbein has not framed the narrative correctly and therefore the analysis of the issue is flawed. He rephrases the narrative so that the debate can continue in a less simplistic manner.
Wendel asserts that Langbein incorrectly painted a picture of strict compliance as a rigid villain that invalidates wills when there is not 100 percent compliance with Wills Act formalities. In his articles, Langbein uses conclusory language and assumes that the reader already agrees with him. Then, in each article, Langbein's proposal is pitched as the solution to the injustice of the strict compliance approach. Professor Langbein first proposed a substantial compliance doctrine, and a decade later proposed a more lenient harmless error doctrine outlining when courts should probate documents that do not meet the requirements of the Wills Act. Although Langbein's harmless error proposal has been adopted as part of the Uniform Probate Code and Restatement (third) of Property, most states have not adopted such proposal.
Professor Wendel argues that when Professor Langbein framed the narrative as a choice only between strict compliance and the Langbein proposals it was flawed. In reality, courts are creating a body of substantial compliance laws that are more pragmatic than the Langbein proposals. Wendel labels these approaches as flexible strict compliance. He says the real question is whether Langbein's substantial compliance/harmless error proposals are better than the flexible strict compliance approach.
This article reminds the reader of the importance of framing a narrative. "He who phrases the issue usually wins the debate." Professor Langbein phrased the issue—strict compliance negates the testator's intent even when there is clear and convincing evidence of the testator's intent. If the rigid formalities of the Wills Act are not absolutely adhered to there is no valid will to probate. His kinder and gentler approaches to strict compliance have been lauded and well received in the academy, However, states have been slow to enact statutes adopting the proposals because of the increase in administrative costs and the increased potential for fraud or misconduct.
Wendel walks us through Langbein's substantial compliance article, as well as his later harmless error article. According to Professor Wendel, Professor Langbein used conclusory language that was harsh and rigid to describe strict compliance; therefore, his alternatives are the saving grace. He states that Langbein's argument is flawed because most states do not rigidly apply strict compliance. He rephrases the issue as whether any benefits associated with Langbein's proposals are worth the costs, especially since most states do not rigidly apply strict compliance. He does admit that more wills would be probated under the Langbein proposals, but suggests that Langbein's holistic approach may not be a great as the academy would have us believe.
Professor Wendel rephrases the narrative—flexible strict compliance vs. Langbien and leaves us with a new narrative to discuss. He says the answer to that question is far from obvious.

Q: While downloading file from FTP Server, getting an error message from Apple I am using FTPManager code to download a file from FTP server. In my app, i am getting a request from TCP server to download a file and then play.
Sometimes FTP manager code downloads the files and then my app plays it well, but if i get a similar request again ,then  sometimes i am getting an error message in console
request (0x15598b20) other than the current request(0x0) signalled it was complete on connection 0x156aec50
After this message it doesn't play the downloaded file as well.
if i try to capture in the code, where i am getting this message, i didn't get any idea. I don't think that message is sent by code.
Code to download the file is
 server = [FMServer serverWithDestination:@"ftpserver username:@"****" password:@"*****"];

        FTPManager *man = [[FTPManager alloc] init];
        NSArray *path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

     success =    [man downloadFile:filename toDirectory:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[path objectAtIndex:0]] fromServer:server];

    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(PlayAudio) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];

I am always getting success as true even with this message.
