Thomson Medical Group returns to profit; new initiatives to drive growth

27 Feb 2019 05:15PM (Updated: 27 Feb 2019 05:20PM)
SINGAPORE: Mainboard-listed Thomson Medical Group said on Wednesday (Feb 27) that it returned to profit in 2018, and unveiled a series of plans to drive growth through an integrated service platform at Orchard Road and its first major digital foray.
Full-year net profit was S$4.06 million, compared with a loss of S$19.3 million in the previous year. The turnaround was driven by the group's acquisition of the healthcare business in 2018, it said.
"The group's strong return to profitability comes as we mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of Thomson Medical. We have much cause to celebrate and be optimistic as we look towards the future of the group," said Thomson Medical Group chairman Ng Ser Miang.
The group - which is now a pure healthcare platform following the divestment of the real estate business in January 2019 – saw healthcare revenue increase 7.5 per cent to S$215.6 million last year.
The growth was driven by higher patient volume, new clinics and larger average bill sizes at the group's two hospitals - Thomson Medical Centre in Singapore and Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara in Malaysia.
"We have been seeing year-on-year increases in revenue and patient loads despite the highly competitive healthcare landscape and sluggish overall economy," said Mr Ng.
He added that the group is focused on developing and growing its healthcare business, and diversifying its range of specialty services and regional footprint to achieve its "vision of becoming a Pan-Asian Health System of Choice".
NEW INITIATIVES TO DRIVE GROWTH
At the group's results briefing, Group CEO Roy Quek unveiled several new initiatives and investments to drive growth, while also providing updates on existing developmental projects.
Mr Quek revealed plans for Thomson Medical's first integrated service platform, Nodal Centre, at Paragon Medical Centre. The Nodal Centre will house the group's new flagships for Thomson Wellth Clinic, Thomson Fertility Centre, Thomson O&G and Thomson TCM.
"The concept of the Nodal Centre is to bring complementary services together in a single location to enable us to provide one-stop services to make it more convenient for our patrons," said Mr Quek.
"Thomson Medical Group operates about 35 specialist clinics and centres across the island; there is scope for us to develop more Nodal Centres as we co-locate more of our specialist services to better serve our patrons," he added.
Mr Quek also touched on the group's newly acquired SmartParents digital platform, its first major foray into the digital space.
"SmartParents is a 100,000-strong community and it represents a valuable platform for the group to create an even bigger community of parents, parents-to-be, wannabe-parents and just about anyone else interested in parenting matters, products and services," said Mr Quek.
REGIONAL FOOTPRINT
In Malaysia, the new wing at Thomson Hospital in Kota Damansara is progressing on schedule, said Mr Quek, with completed due by end-2020.
Piling works have commenced for the Thomson Iskandar Medical Hub project in Vantage Bay, Johor Bahru, and is on target to be completed by the end of the third quarter this year. Construction that will take place thereafter is projected to be completed by 2023.
When completed, the two projects are expected to add 900 beds to the 205 the group currently operates in Kota Damansara.
Thomson Medical Group also recently opened its first Thomson TCM centre in Kuala Lumpur and plans are underway to expand two of its TMC Fertility Centres in the Klang Valley.

Q: How to pass variables from script to controller in Laravel The variable current_restroom_id in the script cannot be passed to the Controller in Laravel.
console.log('{{HomeController::getTrendingIssue('1',current_restroom_id)}}');
// but this is not passing script variable value.

Please help to resolve this.
Here is the related code in blade file:

Here is the HomeController function:
public static function getTrendingIssue($issue_id, $restroom_id)

{
   $issue_count = DB::table('ticket_manages')
                    ->where(['ticket_manages.issue_id' => $issue_id, 'restroom_id' => $restroom_id])
                    ->count();
   return $issue_count;
}

A: Do not call controller method statically from blade view!
You should pass the variable via controller to view.
Do not query mysql from controller. This is the model. You should use mysql get via model, and you have to call it from the controller.
The HomeController:
public function index()
{
   $restroom_id = 123; // for example
   $trendingIssue = DB::table('ticket_manages')
                    ->where(['ticket_manages.issue_id' => $issue_id, 'restroom_id' => $restroom_id])
                    ->count();
   return view('home', compact('trendingIssue'));
}

In the view:
{{$trendingIssue}}

But you tried to get via javascript. You cannot call directly PHP from JavaScript. If you want to do it dynamically you have to use AJAX.
            "dislikes"  :'{{HomeController::getTrendingIssue('1', current_restroom_id)}}'

It is never will works, because you cannot pass to PHP the JS variable. The PHP code run SERVER SIDE before the javascript run CLIENT SIDE. This PHP code will try use current_restroom_id const variable, which is not exists.

Jimbo-laya: The power of hope
People can handle so much more than they think they're capable of.
By Joshua Smith
Jessica Vanhook shows off her new skills in a wheelchair after her family arrived for a visit at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab in Chicago, Nov. 2, 2019. Vanhook is currently going through physical therapy and learning to adapt to a new lifestyle. Josh Smith, DN
Joshua Smith is a freshman graphic design major and writes "Jimbo-laya" for The Daily News. His views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper.
"The power of hope" is a phrase you would imagine coming out of an inspirational movie during some overused, heartfelt situation where someone is told they can't do something, but through hard work and determination, they actually do that thing and prove all the haters wrong.
Even though it's overused, it doesn't make it any less true. The capacity we have for pain, both physical and mental, is astonishing. The fact that we can hit rock bottom and come back better, faster and stronger is incredible.
On Sept. 26, my oldest sister Krystyn called and told me she and our parents were at the hospital.
My other sister Jessica had been shot during a home invasion.
She was shot through the shoulder, the bullet nicking her lung and hitting the base of her spine. She was paralyzed from the waist down.
I went home to LaPorte, Indiana, that weekend, and while I was there, my parents told me she had a slim chance of walking again. Not only that, but covering the costs of the mountain of bills wasn't going to be easy. We had to start a GoFundMe for my sister because otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to pay for what she would need to walk again.
As grim as this was, I was trying to focus on the thin line of hope that was still there: She would walk again, and she would be OK. After all, doctors will normally give you the worst-case scenario so they don't get your hopes up.
This meant there was still a chance.
As I thought about Jessica's situation, I accepted the world was a bad place and people do bad things. She always tries her hardest to put some kind of good into the world, yet this happened to her.
I could have just stopped caring about everything around me and grown bitter toward the world, but I didn't. Throughout my life, I've become more of a realist, but because of how I grew up, it's second nature for me to still focus on the best possibilities.
That was a personal experience that will always stick with me and remind me to question the impossible, just like Rocky Balboa did.
Jessica Vanhook waits with family at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab in Chicago, Nov. 2, 2019, where she was learning how to adapt a new daily routine with her family. Smith was shot and paralyzed during a home invasion in late September and is currently going through physical therapy. Josh Smith, DN
Rocky is just a guy from from Philly who wanted to be a boxer. He knew where he wanted to be and poured his heart and soul into everything he did to get there. He never gave up, no matter how many times something tried to stop him, and my sister has done the same.
In the movie, Rocky is a hot shot boxer, and everyone knows his name. Jessica is just a girl from LaPorte; she moved away, got shot and now she's doing everything she can to get back to where she was.
She and Rocky are similar in one crucial way: They don't give up.
Jessica is a perfect example that we mainly see our strength when something extreme happens, like a natural disaster, an act of terrorism or a random event, like what happened with Jessica. The further we fall, the more obvious it is when we rise back up and fight. A star shines brightest in the darkness, just like my sister.
Jessica's lungs are completely healed at this point, and she sent a five-second video in a family group chat of her flexing her thigh muscles. As weirdly specific as that sounds, it's a huge accomplishment for her to consciously and purposely move any muscles below her waist.
It was incredible to see because my sister had fallen so far and was given such a slim chance to walk again, and already she is moving a part of her leg.
Jessica knows she has a long way to go, and I can tell she wants to. Any time someone pushes hard like her, it reminds me of my favorite quote from Balboa:
"Let me tell you something you already know: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving."
Regardless of what is thrown at you through life, as long as you can keep moving, you'll make it eventually. It shouldn't take a devastating event like this to bring out our strengths, but sometimes that's just what we need, and that is OK.

The NASD reminds members that the NASD By-Laws require a statutorily disqualified person who wishes to obtain a controlling interest in, or become a controlling person of, an NASD member firm must, before assuming such a position, apply to the NASD for approval through the Eligibility Proceedings described in the NASD By-Laws and Code of Procedure. In addition, the NASD By-Laws require members and their associated persons to make timely filings of amendments to Form BD and Form U-4 when changes occur in the information contained on the original applications.
The NASD Board of Governors has become aware that, in several instances, a statutorily disqualified 1/ person has obtained a "controlling interest" 2/ in an NASD member without approval through an NASD Eligibility Proceeding. The Board is also concerned by the failure of these registered persons to timely amend Form U-4 to reflect disciplinary actions taken against them by federal or state agencies or self-regulatory organizations, or to reflect certain criminal convictions.
Article II, Section 3(b) of the NASD By-Laws prohibits a member firm from continuing in membership if the firm has an associated person who is disqualified. Article II, Section 4 of the By-Laws specifies the conditions that disqualify a person. Section 3(a)(21) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 defines "associated person with a member" as ". . . any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such member, or any employee of such member." Therefore, if a disqualified person obtains a "controlling" interest in an NASD member, that person is considered an associated person of the member.
Before a disqualified person can obtain a "controlling interest" in an NASD member, that person must apply to the NASD for approval through the NASD's Eligibility Proceedings, found in Article II, Section 3(d) of the By-Laws and Article VII of the Code of Procedure. Failure to receive approval by the NASD Board of Governors prior to obtaining the "controlling" interest will result in the immediate institution of a Revocation Proceeding under Article VI of the Code of Procedure against both the disqualified person and the NASD member that allowed the disqualified person to obtain the "controlling interest."
Associated persons of NASD members have an obligation to keep current and accurate the information on Form U-4 (Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer) on file with the NASD. Similarly, member firms are obligated to ensure that Form BD (Uniform Application for Broker-Dealer Registration) is amended to reflect current information.
Article IV, Section 2(c) of the By-Laws, which relates to registered representatives and associated persons, requires that "Every application for registration filed with the Corporation shall be kept current at all times by supplementary amendments to the original application."
The instructions to Form U-4 provide that "amendment filings are required to (1) correct deficiencies in a previous filing; (2) update and keep current the information required on the form. . . ." Form U-4 is signed by the registered person and a representative of the member firm and both have the responsibility to update Form U-4 in a timely manner.
Article III, Section l(d) of the By-Laws, which relates to membership applications, provides that "Each member shall ensure that its membership application with the Corporation is kept current at all times by supplementary amendments to the original application."
The instructions for Form BD provide that "... the applicant must update the Form BD information by submitting amendments whenever the information on file changes."
If a registered person becomes subject to a statutory disqualification, this fact must be reported promptly on an amended Form U-4 (and Form BD, if appropriate). The NASD Board of Governors has interpreted "promptly" to mean "within ten days of the occurrence of the disqualifying event." (The NASD must be notified so it can carry out its responsibilities under Section 15A(b)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 19h-l.) Failure to file, or late filing, of an amended Form U-4 (or Form BD) may warrant disciplinary action with significant sanctions. In addition, failure to file, or failure to file in a timely manner, may be grounds to deny the application of the disqualified person to remain associated with the NASD member firm.
Questions concerning this notice may be directed to Craig L. Landauer, Attorney, NASD Office of General Counsel, at (202) 728-8291.
1/ "Statutory disqualifications" are defined in Sections 3(a)(39) and 15(b)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the NASD By-Laws.
2/ SEC Rule 19h-l, which governs the NASD's handling of applications from disqualified persons and firms, in paragraph (f)(2) defines "control" as, "the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a company whether through ownership of securities, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) any person who, directly or indirectly, (A) has the right to vote 10 percent or more of the voting securities, (B) is entitled to receive 10 percent or more of the net profits, or (C) is a director (or person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions) of a company shall be presumed to be a person who controls such company."


A new movie about serial abortionist Kermit Gosnell doesn't release until early February, but the DVD is already a major best seller on Amazon.
"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer," which debuts Feb. 5 and chronicles the story of Gosnell's arrest, trial, and ultimate conviction, is currently the No. 1 best-selling movie in the drama category on Amazon and the No. 3 film in overall DVDs.
How did the movie perform in theaters?
On its opening weekend, the "Gosnell" film, which premiered in theaters Oct. 12 and starred Dean Cain, earned $1,162,988 in 673 theaters across the country, according to Box Office Mojo. "Gosnell" ranked No. 12 in the list of top-grossing movies during the weekend of its release.
Overall, the film brought in $3,679,893 in the domestic box office.
"It is an impacted fall, no doubt about it, but the fact that we've been dropped from theaters where the movie is the No. 6 or No. 9 movie is just something you don't see," he added.

(BIVN) – The U.S. Coast Guard and Hawaiʻi County Fire Department searched for a 47-year-old missing fisher, two and a half miles northeast of Punaluʻu Beach on Hawaiʻi island on Saturday.
"We are currently searching for Mark Lowery, 47 years-old, who was camping with friends and last seen at 10 p.m., Friday, wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt, tan shorts, and a headlamp," said Mark Zienkiewicz, a Sector Honolulu watchstander, in a USCG media release. "We request waterway users transiting the area to keep a sharp lookout for signs of distress. Anyone with information that might aid us, please call 808-842-2600."
According to the U.S. Coast Guard:
Hawaii County Fire Department Air 1 helicopter and ground crews are conducting searches of the area and nearby coastline. An Air Station Barbers Point MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and HC-130 Hercules aircrews are searching the surrounding waters. The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter William Hart (WPC 1134) is scheduled to assist.

The Coast Guard says Lowery was on a camping trip with seven friends. "When they went to bed for the night, Lowery reportedly stayed up to go fishing," the USCG reported. "At 5 a.m., Saturday morning, the friends woke up and realized Lowery was missing. His backpack, as well as several fishing rods, were also gone."
Lowery's friends contacted the Hawaiʻi County Fire Department, who deployed the helicopter and ground crews to search the area. At 6:53 a.m. on Saturday morning, the County contacted USCG Sector Honolulu watchstanders to report the situation. The Coast Guard issued an Urgent Marine Information Broad-cast notice to mariners and deployed the Dolphin helicopter and Hercules crews to assist.
We will update this story with new information.

I'm looking to purchase the DCS-932L and would like to know from other owners whether the on-board wireless is adequate for streaming or gets bogged down. If I make this purchase, the DCS-932L will connect wirelessly to a DIR-615 approximately 7 feet away with no significant obstructions.
If we assume a single camera and no other wireless traffic. . . will the FPS for wireless differ significantly from wired?
At 640x480@20fps you would get about 4.5 Mbps on wired. On wireless, depending on interference, security-settings you should be able to get same throughput, but experience tells me you probably will get something like 3.5-4.0 (wireless-n, WPA2, 'noisy' area and some local non-camera wireless access).
I myself, at start-up of this process, was able to get 3 920's on wireless-g no better than 320x240 with acceptable footage or 640x480@5 fps (horrible quality if you need it as video-proof after the fact).
So, single camera, no other wireless whatsoever, free channel (use INSSIDER to find free/low usage channel), wireless-n, WPA2-PSK and no major obstructions between camera and router, you should get 640x480@roughly 15 fps.
WPA2 is quite a throughput-killer... But safety comes at a price.


The Rock of Gibraltar was settled by Moors in 711 ; they named it after their chief Jabal Tariq, 'the Mountain of Tarik'. In 1462 it was taken by the Spaniards, from Granada. It was captured by Admiral Sir George Rooke on 24 July 1704, and ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht, 1713. The cession was confirmed by the treaties of Paris (1763) and Versailles (1783).

National Poinsettia Day
Image credit: U.S. Department of Agriculture [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
I'm unsure how poinsettias came to be associated with Christmas. I do know, however, that the name comes from Joel Roberts Poinsett, a botanist—and the first ambassador to Mexico from the United States—who first introduced them to the U.S., having brought cuttings from southern Mexico. Poinsett died on this day in 1851, which is why Congress chose this date, in 2002, as National Poinsettia Day. But here's where it gets weird. Even though Poinsett's expiration date was chosen for the observance, the day is actually intended to honor the contributions of the late Paul Ecke, Jr. (and, to a lesser extent, his father and son) to the poinsettia industry—at one point, Ecke Ranch grew the vast majority of poinsettias sold in the U.S. (The business has since changed hands a couple of times, and a lot of the production has moved elsewhere.) So it's kind of about the plant, but really, it's all about the money. And poinsettias are big business, producing annual revenues of hundreds of millions of dollars. Ah, maybe that's the real Christmas connection!

Fraudulent Holocaust claims about magical gas chambers and miraculous survival in wartime German camps are all too familiar. Occasionally, though, we come across a claim so breathtaking in its mendacious effrontery that it deserves special notice.
How was such horror possible? In Peer's view, the "rest of the world stood by and let the Holocaust happen." The evil Germans, he says, "had the permission of the world" to kill Jews. Although Peer claims that "Bergen-Belsen was worse than Auschwitz," he acknowledges that he and his younger brother and sister, who were deported to the camp in 1944, all somehow survived internment there.
According to at least one former inmate of Auschwitz-Birkenau, conditions today in Sarajevo, the capital of wartorn Bosnia, are worse than in the notorious German camp during the Second World War.
Danica Bagaric, an ethnic Croat, was a 17-year-old partisan fighter with Tito's Communist forces when she was captured by the Germans in April 1943. During the next two years, she was interned in four German camps, including (she says) 14 months in Auschwitz-Birkenau, perhaps the most notorious German wartime internment centerBagaric's statements are reported in a Reuter news agency feature article dated July 27, 1993. This item has appeared in a number of daily newspapers, including Australia's Sydney Morning Herald of July 30 (reproduced here).
Yehuda Bauer is head of the Institute of Contemporary Jewry at Israel's Hebrew University. As one of the world's most prominent Holocaust experts, it has been his unenviable task to announce awkward but unavoidable concessions to truth — and thus to revisionist critics of the Holocaust story. In April 1990, he publicly acknowledged that the widely-repeated Holocaust tale that the Germans had manufactured bars of soap from the bodies of murdered Jews is a myth. A few months later, he had the equally unhappy task of acknowledging that the long-standing allegation that the Germans killed four million people at Auschwitz — a claim that was supposedly proven at the Nuremberg Tribunal — is likewise not true.
"Producer of the video is the Institute for Historical Review," Bauer inaccurately goes on to say. (In fact, the IHR had nothing to do with the video's production.) Israel, Bauer said, "lags behind the rest of the Western world" in producing video material to counter Holocaust revisionism.

\section{Introduction}
Accurate evaluation of the induced currents and the resulting magnetic fields is very essential in the design of equipment, working on electromagnetic induction principle.
Among such equipment, this work basically concerns with the ones involving a rectilinear movement of conducting media under applied magnetic field.
The ready examples are electromagnetic flow meters, linear induction motors and eddy current brakes. The governing equations for steady state electromagnetic fields in such devices are \cite{reducedb} \cite{fmbase},
\begin{equation} \label{eqge2}
\nabla \cdot (\sigma \nabla \phi) - \nabla \cdot (\sigma ~ {\bf{u}} \times \nabla \times {\bf{A}}) =  \nabla \cdot (\sigma ~ \bf{u} \times \bf{B_{a}})
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{eqge1}
\sigma \nabla \phi ~-~  (\nabla \cdot \dfrac{1}{\mu} \nabla) {\bf{A}} - \sigma~ {\bf{u}} \times \nabla \times {\bf{A}} = \sigma~ {\bf{u}} \times {\bf{B_{a}}}
\end{equation}
 where,  $\bf A$ is the vector potential associated with reaction magnetic field $\bf b_r$, $\phi$ is the scalar potential field arising out of current flow, ${\bf u}$ is the velocity of the moving conductor, $\sigma$ is the electrical conductivity,  $\mu$  is the magnetic permeability and $\bf{B_a}$ is the applied magnetic field. The source of the applied field is considered to be unaffected by the reaction field.

 The analytical solution of the governing equations (\ref{eqge2}) and (\ref{eqge1}) is rather difficult and hence numerical techniques are generally employed. For this, the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM), which is a widely employed numerical method across different disciplines, appears to be the best suited option. It is known to give accurate results, when the Peclet number, $Pe = \mu \sigma |{\bf u}| \Delta z /2~<1$ ($\Delta z$ is the element length along the direction of the velocity) \cite{cdbook}\cite{quada1}. However, as the velocity of the conductor/conducting-fluid becomes high, a very fine discretisation involving large number of elements needs to be employed. This would be a practically difficult exercise.

 For $Pe > 1$ on the other hand, GFEM is known to suffer from numerical instability along the direction of the velocity. This issue of numerical instability  has been adequately addressed in the fluid dynamics literature \cite{cdbook} mostly for the nodal formulation. Among the methods suggested, the Streamline upwinding/Petrov-Galerkin (SU/PG) scheme \cite{up1}\cite{supg1} is commonly employed in the electromagnetic literature \cite{mc6tf1,mc1lim1,mc2av1,mc2av2,mc3eb1,mc3eb2,mc4ge1, mc5mc1, mc6tf2,mc6tf3}.

It is reported in fluid dynamics literature that, while SU/PG scheme is successful in ensuring stability of the solution, it can lead to localized peaking/distortion  at the boundary transverse to the flow  \cite{discop}. This is a serious issue, which needs careful attention. Numerical experiments carried out in the 2D and 3D version of the flowmeter problem, have clearly confirmed the existence  of such an error at the conductor-air interface transverse to the flow. Remedial measures such as, `discontinuity-capturing' scheme \cite{discop}, Finite Increment Calculus (FIC) \cite{fic2} have  been suggested in fluid dynamics literature, which will overcome this issue.
 However,  these numerical schemes are non-linear and hence demands more computation. In addition, efforts towards applying them for electromagnetic problem is rather scarce.

In view of these, it was deemed necessary to seek within the framework of GFEM, a stable scheme, which is free of errors at the transverse boundary. At this juncture, it will be important to note that the problem under consideration involves rectilinear movement of the conductors. In such problems, at least the conducting region of the problem can be and usually be discretised with graded regular mesh along the direction of the velocity.  In other words, the resulting mesh would be like a stack of layers of different thickness along the direction of the velocity. This aspect will be referred in the later part of the work.
Further for discretisation,  quadrilateral elements for 2D and brick elements for 3D will be considered for the analysis.

Classically, any analysis of the stability is generally carried out with the one-dimensional version of the problem, which is discretised with a regular mesh. For that, the GFEM equation turns out to be difference equation, which is generally solved analytically to investigate on the numerical stability of
the solution. In our earlier work \cite{su1}, this difference equation was translated into Z-transform domain and was analyzed by borrowing tools from the  control system theory. In that, the ratio of the applied magnetic flux density and the reaction magnetic field was defined as the transfer function. A pole of the transfer function was traced to be the source of numerical instability. Then zero in the numerator was brought in for the required pole-zero cancellation, by simply restating the input magnetic field in terms of its vector potential. It ensured absolute stability even at very high velocities.
 This approach however was found to work well, only when the input magnetic field varies along the direction of the velocity.
In practice, as the input magnetic field can have variation orthogonal to  the direction of the velocity, it is necessary to overcome the above limitation and this forms the goal of the present work.

In this paper, firstly a novel stable scheme is devised for the 1D version of the problem. It is then directly applied to the 2D version of the problem and the existence of the stability is analytically shown using the 2D Z-transform analysis. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the scheme.

\section{Present work}
\subsection{Analysis with the 1D version of the problem}
Following the footsteps of the earlier works \cite{cdbook}, \cite{up1},  \cite{quadp1}, investigation will be carried out first with the 1D version of the problem. The conditions that permit the reduction of the physical problem to its 1D version has been described in \cite{su1} and the corresponding governing equation is,
\begin{equation}\label{eq1d1x}
~~-\dfrac{d^{2}A_{y}}{dz^2} + \mu \sigma u_z \dfrac{dA_y}{dz} = \mu\sigma u_z B_x ~
\end{equation}
where, $A_y$ is the $y$ component of the vector potential, $u_z$ is the velocity of the moving conductor along the $z$ direction and $B_x$ is the input magnetic field. Clearly, (\ref{eq1d1x}) has the same form as the convection-diffusion equation dealt in fluid dynamics \cite{cdbook}, \cite{supg1},\cite{fic1}.  Application of the GFEM  to (\ref{eq1d1x}) leads to difference equation  \cite{cdbook}, \cite{mc6tf2}, which for $n^{th}$ node takes the form,
	\begin{equation}\label{eq1dd2}
	 (-1-Pe)A_{y[n-1]} + 2 A_{y[n]} + (-1+Pe)A_{y[n+1]} = 2Pe\Delta z \Big( \dfrac{B_{x[n-1]}+4B_{x[n]}+B_{x[n+1]}}{6} \Big)
	\end{equation}

It may be noted that, in the early part of \cite{su1} instead of GFEM, the difference approximation was directly employed which results in a slightly different RHS.
	Also in \cite{su1}, it was shown that the use of Z-transform can simplify the analysis of instability.  Following the same, the required analysis will be carried out on the transfer function, defined as the ratio between the vector potential $A_y$ of the reaction magnetic field and the input flux density $B_x$, can be written as,
\begin{equation}
 \dfrac{A_y}{B_x} ~=~ \dfrac{2Pe\Delta z~}{6(-1+Pe)}~~ \dfrac{Z^2+4Z+1}{Z^2~+~\dfrac{2}{-1+Pe}Z~+~\dfrac{-1-Pe}{-1+Pe}}
\end{equation}

	when $Pe >> 1$
\begin{equation}
 \dfrac{A_y}{B_x} ~\simeq~ \dfrac{\Delta z}{3}~~ \dfrac{(Z+0.27)(Z+3.73)}{(Z~-~1)~(Z~+~1)}
\end{equation}
As discussed in \cite{su1},	the pole located at -1  is responsible for the oscillation in the computed result \cite{debook1}, \cite{dcbook2}.  It may be recalled that, the above observation is valid for any input magnetic field. Further, $Pe$ forms the true independent variable and not its constituents taken in isolation \cite{cdbook}, \cite{quada1}, \cite{quadp1}.

The RHS of (\ref{eq1dd2}) can also be viewed as a weighted average of the nodal flux densities, where the averaging is according to the Galerkin formulation. By restating the input magnetic field in terms of vector potential, it was shown in \cite{su1} that necessary zero can be introduced to cancel out the pole. Taking queue from this idea, a consistent modified  weighted average of the input nodal flux densities is sought so as to introduce necessary zero.

The RHS of (\ref{eq1dd2}) with general weighted nodal flux density can be written as,
\begin{equation} \label{gnrlbavg}
 \tilde{B} = \dfrac{\alpha B_{x[n-1]}+\beta B_{x[n]}+\gamma B_{x[n+1]}}{\alpha+\beta+\gamma}
\end{equation}
	where $\alpha,~\beta,~\gamma$ are the unknown parameters, which needs to be determined imposing the appropriate constraints.
Firstly, total flux into the element must be closely represented. Secondly, the two elements, spanned by the weighing function of the node under consideration, should have equal influence. The last constraint is to obtain the necessary zero (i.e. $Z+1$ term) in the RHS. With these restrictions,  the values of parameters can be evaluated for the linear element as $\alpha=1$, $\beta=2$, $\gamma=1$. Tracing this back to the elemental input, the required averaged input nodal flux densities for the  element $e$ with nodes $n-1$ \& $n$, can be identified as,
\begin{equation} \label{ip1d}
B_{e} = \dfrac{B_{x[n-1]}+B_{x[n]}}{2}
\end{equation}

With the above weighted input nodal magnetic field, the equation for the weighing function associated with the $n^{th}$ node reduces to,
\begin{equation}\label{eq1dd3}
	 (-1-Pe)A_{y[n-1]} + 2 A_{y[n]} + (-1+Pe)A_{y[n+1]} = 2Pe\Delta z \Big( \dfrac{B_{x[n-1]}+2B_{x[n]}+B_{x[n+1]}}{4} \Big)
	\end{equation}

The relation  between the reaction field $A_y$ and the input field $B_x$ now takes the form,
	\begin{equation}\label{eq1da1}
		\dfrac{A_y}{B_x} = \dfrac{2Pe\Delta z}{4(-1+Pe)} \dfrac{(Z+1)^2}{(Z-1)\Big(Z-\dfrac{(-1-Pe)}{(-1+Pe)}\Big)}
	\end{equation}

	when $Pe >> 1$ the above reduces to

	\begin{equation}\label{eq1da3}
	 \dfrac{A_y}{B_x} ~\simeq~ \dfrac{\Delta z}{2}~~ \dfrac{(Z+1)}{(Z-1)}
	\end{equation}

	\begin{figure}

		\label{fem1d1}
	\end{figure}
It is evident from the above equation that, for $Pe>>1$ the proposed scheme is absolutely stable. Referring to (\ref{eq1da1}) it can be verified that for $Pe<1$, there is no  oscillatory pole. However, for $Pe $ in the range $1$ to $10$ there exists imperfect pole-zero cancellation, leading to small oscillation in the solution. These have been verified with suitable FEM simulation. Sample results are presented in fig. \ref{fem1d1} with  input field ($B_x = B ~when~a \leq z \leq b$) and  boundary conditions $A_y(0) = 0$ and $dA_y/dz | _L = 0$  \cite{su1}. Here, the reaction magnetic field is calculated from  $b_x=-dA_y/dz$.

 In order to quantify the peak amplitude of the small oscillation/error found in the result for the mid-range of Peclet numbers ($1<Pe<10$), analytical solution of the FEM difference-equation is deduced. Details are presented in the Appendix. The error in the simulation result for three different approaches are presented in fig. \ref{errplot}. The peak error in the solution is quantified by (\ref{errp}) and (\ref{errg}) of the Appendix for proposed and Galerkin schemes respectively.

 A maximum error of about 3.7\%  is found to occur at $Pe=2$  in the proposed scheme, which is lower by a factor of 3 with respect to `A-input' scheme  \cite{su1}. This better performance can be attributed to the presence of double `$-1$' zeros in the numerator of (\ref{eq1da1}).

Following the general trend in the pertinent literature on the stability of numerical schemes, required analysis was carried out first with the 1D version of the problem  \cite{cdbook}, \cite{up1},  \cite{quadp1}. However the  main concern in this work is the input magnetic field, which varies even in the direction transverse to the velocity. This calls for suitable analysis with the  2D version of the problem, which will be dealt in the next section.

\subsection{Analysis with the 2D version of the problem}

		\label{fig2dztr}
	\end{figure}
Consider an infinite conducting slab moving along the $z$-axis. A localized, $x$ directed magnetic field, which varies in both $y$ and $z$ direction is applied. Two profiles as shown in Figs. \ref{2dipsqr} and \ref{2dipcrc}  have been considered. For the first one, input field is given by $B_x = B; ~\text{for}~-a \leq z \leq a~\text{and} ~-b \leq y \leq b$ and
for the second one, $B_x = B; ~\text{for}~ r \leq R$ and $B_x = Be^{-((r-R)/0.5R)^2}~ \text{for} ~r > R$
 with  a smooth Gaussian fall to zero is considered, where $r = \sqrt(y^2+z^2)$.

 The governing equations now take the form,
\begin{equation} \label{ge2dphi}
\dfrac{\partial^{2}\phi}{\partial z^2} + \dfrac{\partial^{2}\phi}{\partial y^2}+u_z \dfrac{\partial^{2}A_y}{\partial y \partial z} - u_z \dfrac{\partial^{2}A_z}{ \partial y^2}= u_z \dfrac{\partial B_x }{\partial y}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{ge2day}
 \sigma \dfrac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}-\dfrac{1}{\mu}(\dfrac{\partial^{2}A_y}{\partial z^2}+ \dfrac{\partial^{2}A_y}{\partial y^2}) + \sigma u_z \dfrac{\partial A_y}{dz}- \sigma u_z \dfrac{\partial A_z}{dy} = \sigma u_z B_x
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{ge2daz}
 \sigma \dfrac{\partial \phi}{\partial z}-\dfrac{1}{\mu}(\dfrac{\partial^{2}A_z}{\partial z^2} + \dfrac{\partial^{2}A_z}{\partial y^2}) = 0
\end{equation}

The Z-transform approach will be employed and for this, a regular 2D FEM grid with quadrilateral elements  shown in Fig. \ref{2ddisc_sq} is considered. The corresponding GFEM equation is obtained and for brevity the expanded form is given only for (\ref{ge2daz}),
\begin{equation} \label{2dazdiff}
\begin{split}
\dfrac{Pe}{6 u_z}\big(\phi_{[n+1,m+1]}-\phi_{[n-1,m+1]} +4\phi_{[n+1,m]}-4\phi_{[n-1,m]}+\phi_{[n+1,m-1]}-\phi_{[n-1,m-1]}\big) ~-~~ \\ \dfrac{1}{3}(A_{z[n-1,m-1]}+A_{z[n,m-1]}+A_{z[n+1,m-1]}+A_{z[n-1,m]}-8A_{z[n,m]}\\
+A_{z[n+1,m]}+A_{z[n-1,m+1]}+A_{z[n,m+1]}+A_{z[n+1,m+1]})  = 0
\\%[8pt]
\end{split}
\end{equation}
For this 2D problem, following the literature on multi-dimensional signal processing \cite{2dhb}\cite{2dsi}, Z-transform is applied for both $y$ and $z$ co-ordinates.
Then (\ref{2dazdiff}) reduces to,
\begin{equation} \label{2dazz1}
\begin{split}
\dfrac{Pe}{6 u_z}\big(Z_nZ_m-Z_n^{-1}Z_m +4Z_n-4Z_n^{-1}+Z_nZ_m^{-1}-Z_n^{-1}Z_m^{-1}\big) \phi ~-~~ \\ \dfrac{1}{3}(Z_nZ_m+Z_m+Z_n^{-1}Z_m+Z_n-8+Z_n^{-1}+Z_nZ_m^{-1}+Z_m^{-1}+
Z_n^{-1}Z_m^{-1}) A_z = 0
\\%[8pt]
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where, $Z_n$ and $Z_m$ corresponds to $z$ and $y$ directions respectively. Multiplying (\ref{2dazz1}) by $Z_nZ_m$
\begin{equation} \label{2dazz2}
\begin{split}
\dfrac{Pe}{6u_z}~(Z_n^2Z_m^2-Z_m^2+4Z_n^2Z_m-4Z_m+Z_n^2-1)~\phi~-~ \\ \dfrac{1}{3}(Z_n^2Z_m^2+Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2+Z_n^2Z_m-8Z_nZ_m+Z_m+Z_n^2+Z_n+1)~A_z~=~~~0
\end{split}
\end{equation}
which can be written as,
\begin{equation} \label{2dazzc1}
\dfrac{Pe}{6u_z}[Q2]\phi- \dfrac{1}{3}[S1]A_z=0
\end{equation}
where,
\begin{align}
[S1] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2+Z_n^2Z_m-8Z_nZ_m+Z_m+Z_n^2+Z_n+1 \label{S1} \\
[Q2] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2-Z_m^2+4Z_n^2Z_m-4Z_m+Z_n^2-1 \label{Q2}
\end{align}

Similarly, the $Z$-transform of the GFEM approximation for (\ref{ge2dphi}) and (\ref{ge2day}) can be reduced to,
\begin{equation} \label{2dphizc1g}
\dfrac{1}{3}[S1]\phi+\dfrac{u_z}{4}[S2]A_y-\dfrac{u_z}{6}[S3]A_z=\dfrac{u_z \Delta z}{12} [Q1]B_x
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{2dayzc1g}
\dfrac{Pe}{6 u_z}[Q1]\phi+\big\{-\dfrac{1}{3}[S1]+\dfrac{Pe}{6}[Q2] \big\}A_y-\dfrac{Pe}{6}[Q1]A_z=\dfrac{Pe \Delta z}{18} [M1]B_x
\end{equation}
where,
\begin{align}
[S2] &=Z_n^2Z_m^2-Z_m^2-Z_n^2+1  \label{S2} \\
[S3] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+4Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2-2Z_n^2Z_m-8Z_nZ_m-2Z_m+Z_n^2+4Z_n+1  \label{S3} \\
[Q1] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+4Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2-Z_n^2-4Z_n-1  \label{Q1}\\
[M1] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+4Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2+4Z_n^2Z_m+16Z_nZ_m+4Z_m+Z_n^2+4Z_n+1  \label{M1}
\end{align}

The above three, (\ref{2dazzc1}), (\ref{2dphizc1g}), (\ref{2dayzc1g}), describe the nature of the numerical solution of independent field variables ($\phi, A_y, A_z$). For the intended analysis, however, it will be convenient to deal with one equation. It may be recalled that the numerical oscillations are always due to the dominance of the  first order derivative term over the second order derivative \cite{cdbook} and equation for $A_y$ (\ref{ge2day}) possesses this feature.
 This is further confirmed by the numerical experiments, wherein oscillations in the computed $A_y$ is much more dominant than that in the other two variables. In order to obtain equation involving only $A_y$, $\phi$ and $A_z$ are eliminated from (\ref{2dayzc1g})  using equations (\ref{2dazzc1}) and (\ref{2dphizc1g}). For brevity, the intermittent steps are avoided here however will be provided later for the proposed scheme. After simplification for $Pe>>1$, the final equation relating $A_y$ to $B_x$ for the GFEM scheme can be found as,
  \begin{equation} \label{2dgfemtf}
\begin{split}
\dfrac{A_y}{B_x}  &\simeq \dfrac{\Delta z}{3}\dfrac{ (Z_n+0.27)(Z_n+3.7) ~f_1(Z_m)}{(Z_n-1)(Z_n+1)~f_2(Z_m)}\\
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where, $f_1=2(Z_m^2-2Z_m+1)(Z_m^2+4Z_m+1)-3(Z_m^2-1)^2 $; and $f_2 = -(Z_m - 1)^4$.

The numerator and denominator of (\ref{2dgfemtf}) are found to be in \textit{separable form} \cite{2dsi} \cite{2dsb},
therefore it is possible to isolate zeros of $Z_n$ and $Z_m$ polynomials. It can be verified that only the polynomial in $Z_n$ appearing in the denominator has a zero at `-1', which is responsible for the numerical oscillation.

For the proposed scheme, dealing with the first order elements, the philosophy adopted earlier for 1D problem can be directly extended to the 2D case. {Recall that the present investigation will be restricted to quadrilateral elements.}
 Accordingly, in the evaluation of the elemental matrices, the four nodal flux densities are replaced by their arithmetic average. {For illustration, consider the element $e_1$ in Fig. {\ref{2ddisc_sq}}, the elemental averaged flux $B_{e1}$ is given by }
\begin{align}
B_{e1} = \big(B_{x[n-1,m-1]}+B_{x[n,m-1]}+B_{x[n-1,m]}+B_{x[n,m]}\big)/4
\label{2dbe1}
\end{align}
With the above modification, the RHS of ({\ref{2dphizc1g}}) and ({\ref{2dayzc1g}}) will get modified to the form,
\begin{equation} \label{2dphizc1}
\dfrac{1}{3}[S1]\phi+\dfrac{u_z}{4}[S2]A_y-\dfrac{u_z}{6}[S3]A_z=\dfrac{u_z \Delta z}{8} [R1]B_x
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{2dayzc1}
\dfrac{Pe}{6 u_z}[Q1]\phi+\big\{-\dfrac{1}{3}[S1]+\dfrac{Pe}{6}[Q2] \big\}A_y-\dfrac{Pe}{6}[Q1]A_z=\dfrac{Pe \Delta z}{8} [N1]B_x
\end{equation}
where,
\begin{align}
[R1] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+2Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2-Z_n^2-2Z_n-1  \label{R1}  \\
[N1] &= Z_n^2Z_m^2+2Z_nZ_m^2+Z_m^2+2Z_n^2Z_m+4Z_nZ_m+2Z_m+Z_n^2+2Z_n+1   \label{N1}
\end{align}

 Following the steps described earlier for GFEM, equation for $A_y$ is deduced as follows. Equation (\ref{2dazzc1}) can be rewritten as,
\begin{equation} \label{2dphiz}
\phi=\dfrac{2u_z}{Pe} \dfrac{[S1]}{[Q2]}A_z
\end{equation}
substituting (\ref{2dphiz}) in (\ref{2dphizc1}),
\begin{equation} \label{eq:zt2dbi_phired_f_04}
\begin{split}
\bigg\{ \dfrac{4u_z[S1]^2-u_z Pe [S3][Q2]}{6Pe[Q2]} \bigg \} ~A_z~+~\dfrac{u_z}{4}[S2]~A_y~=~\dfrac{u_z \Delta z}{8} [R1]~B_x
\end{split}
\end{equation}
For $Pe >> 1$, the above can be reduced to,
\begin{equation} \label{2dazz}
A_z \simeq \dfrac{3[S2]}{2[S3]}A_y-\dfrac{3\Delta z[R1]}{4[S3]}~B_x
\end{equation}
For $Pe >>1$, substituting  (\ref{2dphiz}), (\ref{2dazz}) in (\ref{2dayzc1}), the relation between $A_y$ and $B_x$ can be written as,
\begin{equation} \label{2dptf1}
\dfrac{A_{y}}{B_x} \simeq \dfrac{3\Delta z}{2} \dfrac{(~[S3][N1]-[Q1][R1]~)}{(~2[S3][Q2]-3[Q1][S2]~)}
\end{equation}
Expanding the numerator and denominator of (\ref{2dptf1}), we get
\begin{equation} \label{2dptfnm}
[S3][N1]-[Q1][R1] = (Z_n^2+4Z_n+1)(Z_n^2+2Z_n+1)~f_3(Z_m)
\end{equation}
where $f_3(Z_m)=(Z_m^2-2Z_m+1)(Z_m^2+2Z_m+1)-(Z_m^2-1)^2$ and
\begin{equation} \label{2dptfdn}
2[S3][Q2] - 3[Q1][S2] = (Z_n^2+4Z_n+1)(Z_n^2-1)~f_2(Z_m)
\end{equation}

Similar to the GFEM case, the polynomials in $Z_n$ and $Z_m$ are in separable form and it can be simplified to,
\begin{align*}
\dfrac{A_{y}}{B_x} &\simeq \dfrac{3\Delta z}{2} \dfrac{(Z_n^2+4Z_n+1)(Z_n^2+2Z_n+1)~f_3(Z_m)}{(Z_n^2+4Z_n+1)(Z_n^2-1)~f_2(Z_m)}\\
&\simeq \dfrac{3\Delta z}{2}\dfrac{ (Z_n^2+2Z_n+1) ~f_3(Z_m)}{(Z_n^2-1)~f_2(Z_m)}\\
&\simeq \dfrac{3\Delta z}{2}\dfrac{ (Z_n+1) ~f_3(Z_m)}{(Z_n-1)~f_2(Z_m)}
\end{align*}
It can be seen that the oscillatory pole arising out of $Z_n=-1$ has been canceled by one of the repeated zeros introduced in the numerator polynomial by the proposed scheme.

It may be worth recalling here that, invariably the stability analysis of the Galerkin scheme was carried out analytically only for the 1D version of the problem \cite{cdbook}, \cite{up1},  \cite{quadp1}. The associated analysis required solution of the difference equation, which in turn demanded a structured grid in 1D. With respect to the problem in hand, it was the variation of the input perpendicular to the flow was an issue and hence a 2D analysis was required in the above. In order to simplify the analysis, however, an infinite conductor was considered. Practicality requires that the 2D domain must be finite in both $y$ and $z$ directions. Therefore, it becomes necessary to verify the applicability of the analytical findings for the practical situation.

		\label{un2dresults}
	\end{figure}
For the numerical simulation, problem described in  Fig. \ref{2dprob1} is modified as shown in Fig. \ref{2dprob2}, wherein a conducting sheet of finite thickness ($d$) and conductivity $\sigma=7.21\times10^6Sm^{-1}$ is sandwiched between air regions of thickness $5d$. The axial length is constrained to 6 times the axial width of the input magnetic field. The simulations are carried out with mesh shown in Fig. \ref{2dmesh}, wherein the element size is varied along the $y$-direction. Two different input magnetic field profiles (shown in Figs. \ref{2dipsqr} and \ref{2dipcrc}) are considered.

Extensive simulations varying almost all the parameters have been carried out. Sample simulation results for $d=1.3m$ and a few selected velocities are presented in Fig. \ref{2dresults}. The computed magnetic field along the axis are presented in Figs. \ref{2dsqr1d} and \ref{2dcrc1d}, for the two different input field profiles and velocities. For further illustration, Figs. \ref{2dpe60glrk} and \ref{2dpe60avg}, present the spatial profile of the field for $Pe=60$. It is evident from the sample results that the proposed scheme, in line with the theoretical prediction, is very stable for $Pe>>1$. However, similar to 1D case, small oscillations prevail in the midrange of $Pe$  ($1<Pe<10$) and it asymptotically vanishes with the increase in $Pe$.

(d) Proposed scheme with input magnetic field of smooth circular profile. }
		\label{2dresults}
	\end{figure}

 In order to scrutinize the efficacy of the scheme, the `Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Methods' (TEAM) problem No. 9 \cite{team9} is chosen next. In this problem, the applied magnetic field has components even in the flow direction and further induction to magnetic media is considered.

\subsection{ TEAM problem No. 9}
This problem involves an infinite ferromagnetic material with $\sigma=5\times 10^6 Sm^{-1}$ and $\mu_r=1,50$. This material has a cylindrical bore of diameter $28~mm$. A concentric  current loop of diameter $24~mm$ carrying $1A$  moves at uniform velocity in the bore. This axisymmetric problem is non-uniformly discretised with higher mesh density around the current loop. The FEM model involves 2288 linear quadrilateral elements. For the analysis, worst case involving velocity of $v=100ms^{-1}$ is considered. The resulting $Pe$, due to non uniform discretisation, varies from $5$ to $200$.

(d) Comparison of total flux density, $u_z=100ms^{-1}$, $\mu_r=50$. }
		\label{stb3d}
	\end{figure}

It can be seen from the computed magnetic field presented in Figs. \ref{oscbr1} and \ref{stbbr1} that the GFEM leads to oscillations, while the proposed scheme is free of such errors.
For the quantitative assessment of the accuracy, the analytical results for the radial and the axial air-gap  flux densities presented for $r=13mm$ in \cite{team9} are considered.
From the comparison made in Figs. \ref{team1dair} and \ref{team1diron}, it is evident that the proposed scheme gives accurate results.
It may be cautioned here that even though GFEM gives oscillatory results in the iron region, the air-gap flux densities are not seriously affected and it is also found to give quite accurate results (however is not presented here).

\subsection{{Simulation for electromagnetic flowmeter}}
{In order to demonstrate the ability of the proposed scheme in tackling the real life problems, the electromagnetic flowmeter, which is a 3D problem, is simulated for high Peclet numbers. The input magnetic field is provided by the permanent magnet assembly shown in Fig. {\ref{magasm}}. The ambient magnetic field is separately evaluated using fictitious magnetic charge method} {\cite{ukreport}} {and its peak value is about $0.0413 ~T$. The outer diameter of the steel pipe is $0.2191~ m$ and it has a thickness of $0.0164~m$. Liquid sodium at temperature $200^0 C$ is considered as the flowing fluid.}

		\caption{{Pertinent details of the flowmeter problem.
 (a) Permanent magnet assembly. (b) Schematic of the discretisation shown here for first quadrant. }}
		\label{3dip}
	\end{figure}

{Discretisation of the 3D geometry is carried out with 8 node brick elements spanning radially into the air region surrounding the pipe. Axially, analysis domain extends up to $9.5~m$, which corresponds to 21 times the length of the magnetic assembly. Totally $31211$ nodes and $29696$ elements are employed. A schematic of the discretisation in the cross section is given in Fig. {\ref{3ddisc}} and structured meshing is employed along the flow direction.}

{As per the proposed scheme, flux density averaged over the eight nodes defining the element, was employed for the evaluation of the elemental matrices (refer to  ({\ref{3dipbxyz}})).}
\begin{align}
B_{xe} = \dfrac{1}{8} \sum\limits_{n=1}^{8} B_{xn} ;  ~~~B_{ye} = \dfrac{1}{8} \sum\limits_{n=1}^{8} B_{yn} ; ~~~B_{ze} = \dfrac{1}{8} \sum\limits_{n=1}^{8} B_{zn} ;
\label{3dipbxyz}
\end{align}
{Simulations are carried out for a wide range of $Pe$ and sample results comparing the present scheme with the GFEM is provided in Figs.
 {\ref{caseA}}, {\ref{glrk100nb}} and {\ref{avg100nb}}. It is evident from the figures that the proposed scheme provides a stable and accurate results even for  the flow rates well beyond the practical operating range. }

	\begin{figure}

		\label{3dip}
	\end{figure}

\subsection{Discussion}

{Simulations were carried out for several problems, including 3D cases and only the representative ones were presented in the earlier sections. In all these cases, accuracy as determined by taking GFEM results with very fine discretisation as the reference, is found to be quite high.

But for the small modification to the RHS term, the procedure adopted is identical to GFEM. As a result, the increase in computational time with the present approach is observed to be less than 2\% for 2D and 3D cases. }

{It may be recalled that, in the definition of the problem itself, a kind of graded regular mesh involving elements of equal lengths in the flow direction was envisaged for every layer. However, layer to layer length could be different.
In order to make a quick assessment of the arbitrariness in the general FEM mesh, two kinds of numerical experiments are conducted with a 2D problem shown in Fig. {\ref{2dprob2}}. In the first, skewness is introduced for every element in the graded regular mesh and in the second, arbitrary mesh is employed. In the former, the loss of accuracy was less than 5 \%, even when the interior angle was changed to  $90\pm45^0$. In the case of the latter, accuracy was marginally affected at lower $Pe$ ($< 100$) and significant deterioration was found thereafter.}

Incidentally, successful efforts have also been  made to extend the philosophy to 1D second order elements. It is then intuitively extended to second order 2D and 3D elements. However, due to page restrictions, they are not dealt here.

\section{Summary and Conclusion}
The GFEM, when employed for magnetic problems involving conductor moving at high velocities is known to suffer from numerical instability.  To address this problem, SU/PG scheme is generally suggested. However the SU/PG scheme is known to suffer from error at the boundary transverse to the velocity. Recently a GFEM based, simple, stable scheme has been proposed. However, in that the input field is assumed to vary only along the direction of the velocity
 \cite{su1}. To overcome this limitation a simple alternative approach is proposed in this work.

Similar to our earlier work, the problem is analyzed in the Z-transform domain and the pole-zero cancellation principle is adopted to propose a new stable scheme. This involved, restatement of the input flux density as an elemental weighted average. Analytically, it is shown for both 1D and 2D versions of the problem, that the proposed scheme is absolutely stable at high values of $Pe$.
Incidentally, at the mid-range of $Pe$, the proposed scheme exhibits small oscillations, the upper bound for which is theoretically shown to be  $<5\%$.
These predictions are adequately validated with numerical exercises, which included No. 9 of the TEAM benchmark problem.

« Late term North Texas abortionist under investigation in ABQ. More 911 calls show botched and dangerous abortion complications
Houston Pastors and Black voices :"A Battlecry Against Black Genocide" »
TYPICAL: Male abortionist blames female abortion patient for botched procedure which landed him a $36 million dollar judgment
8/16/2011: UPDATE: Judge denies Orlando-area abortion doctor new trial in $36 million malpractice case
The Orlando Sentinel is asking: Will judge reverse $36M verdict against Orlando-area abortion doctor?
An Orange Circuit judge is likely to decide soon whether to reverse a $36.7 million jury award in a medical-malpractice case decided last month against a suspended Orlando-area abortion doctor and his clinic, the Orlando Women's Center.
An Orange County jury awarded $18.7 million in compensatory damages and a total $18 million in punitive damages against James Scott Pendergraft IV and the Orlando Women's Center, where he was listed in court papers as one-time medical director.Pendergraft's attorney, Robert Nesmith, filed a post-trial motion early this month to set aside the verdict for the monetary damages. He also requested a new trial. Nesmith would not comment with the case still pending.
Pendergraft, listed as founder of the Orlando Women's Center on its website and as the "business owner" by someone answering the phone at a clinic location, could not be reached for comment.
State Department of Health records show Pendergraft cannot currently practice medicine in Florida.
"His license status is currently suspended," DOH spokeswoman Jennifer Hirst said. However, it is not revoked, and all details behind the license suspension were not immediately available.
The lawsuit involves a woman, identified as C.H. in court documents, who went to the Orlando Women's Center on Nov. 15, 2001, to terminate what she thought was a 16- to 20-week pregnancy. Staff at the center determined she was 22.3 weeks pregnant, according to the complaint and other court records.
Staff at the clinic gave her 12 doses of Cytotec and a single dose of RU-486 during an 11- or 12-hour period to induce labor. Neither Pendergraft nor another physician at the facility, Dr. Randall B. Whitney, personally evaluated, examined or treated the woman, the lawsuit says.
At about 1 a.m. Nov. 16, "C.H. was instructed to and/or allowed to leave the Orlando Women's Center while in active labor," according to the claim.
She then went to the emergency room at Orlando Regional Medical Center in "active labor" and gave birth by cesarean section "to a viable female child," the lawsuit says.
That baby, identified in court documents as J.F., was "born prematurely and has suffered catastrophic and permanent bodily injuries, impairment, disability, [and] disfigurement." Expenses related to the child's care and treatment formed the basis of the lawsuit.
In his motion to set aside the verdict, Nesmith argues that "strict liability" should not have applied in this case. "This is a standard negligence case," he wrote.
His argument covers Florida's statute governing so-called partial-birth abortions, while maintaining the procedure performed on C.H. was not an attempted partial-birth abortion.
"By Florida statutes and previous cases, the fetus was not viable when the mother presented to Orlando Women's Center and thus [the statute] does not apply in this case and therefore there cannot be strict liability," Nesmith wrote. "Strict liability statutes … only apply to persons," he also argued. "A fetus is not a person."
Because the woman came to the center to have an abortion, "survival of the plaintiff's child was never anticipated under this arrangement," Nesmith argued.
He also claims the judge made an error in not allowing the defendant to show "the patient was at fault." Nesmith says C.H. was negligent "for bolting from the Orlando Women's Center." She was not asked or forced to leave the clinic, and had she stayed "the abortion procedure would have been completed …."

Q: google-fluentd and Stackdriver one entry behind on custom config I have a VM running on Google Cloud, and have installed logging via google-fluentd on it, according to the directions at https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/installation. I have set up a custom config for an application which outputs the logs to /var/log/myapp.log.
I created a configuration (as root, virtually a copy of tomcat.conf) called /etc/google-fluentd/config.d/myapp.conf which has the following:
<source>
  @type tail
  format multiline
  # Match the date at the beginning of each entry
  format_firstline /^(\d+\/\d+\/\d+\s\d+:\d+:\d+\s)/
  format1 /(?<message>.*)/
  path /var/log/myapp.log
  pos_file /var/lib/google-fluentd/pos/myapp-multiline.pos
  read_from_head true
  tag myapp
</source>

Entries are showing up in Stackdriver but it is getting into Stackdriver only after the next entry is put into the .log file and showing up as the wrong time (i.e., line-1 is getting line-2's timestamp).
Is there something that I'm missing in the .conf file that could be causing this?

A: From the documentation of the in_tail plugin:

With format_firstline, in_tail delays record emit until next format_firstline matched because in_tail can't judge multiline logs are ended or not without format_firstline trigger. If your regexps represent log pattern correctly like above Rails example, you may remove format_firstline for emitting records immediately.

Best bets of the day: Tuesday 07/07
Find everything you are looking to bet on this Tuesday!
Betting Tips for this Tuesday! A day with few football games, but with interesting bets. And attention, read the warnings below the article, in the yellow frame! There we have a bankroll division to be followed!
Football | Premier League - Arsenal vs Leicester:
Arsenal vs Leicester Over 2.5 goals
A confrontation between two teams with the same goal for this competition final seek a classification for the Champions League. Arsenal is in seventh place with 49 points, eight points less than fourth in the league. Also, it comes from an excellent sequence of four winning games, the last being against Wolverhampton, by the score of 2-0. One of the qualities presented by the team has been the offensive system since it has an average of 1.88 goals scored per game acting as host.
Leicester is in third place in the competition with 58 points, so they know that it is extremely important to continue adding points to reach their goal this season. In the last match, they beat Crystal Palace by the score of 3 to 0, as host. Like their opponent, one of the characteristics presented by the team, has been in his offensive system.
Football | Premier League - Watford vs Norwich:
Watford vs Norwich Handicap -0.25 Watford HT
Watford is in seventeenth place with 28 points, so they need to open their eyes with the relegation zone. Thus, they know that it is essential to seek a positive result in this confrontation, as they are against a direct opponent in the fight against relegation. In the last four matches, the team suffered three defeats and only one draw, being the last defeat against Chelsea by the score of 3-0. Acting as host, the home team has four wins, six draws and six losses.
Unlike their opponent, Norwich is already in the relegation zone with 21 points. Given this, it is extremely important to add points as a visitor, as they have the worst campaign, with only one win, three draws and twelve defeats. One of the difficulties presented by the team has been the defensive system, since it has an average of 1.88 goals conceded, with the majority of goals conceded in the first stages of the matches.
Football | Espanha La Liga - Valência vs Valladolid:
Valência vs Valladolid Handicap -0.5 Valência
Valencia still has mathematical chances of qualifying for the Europa League or Champions League. However, they need favourable results, as they are ten points from fourth place in the competition. In the last seven matches, the team has only won one, being a draw in the last match, against Granada, by the score of 2 to 2. Acting against a technically inferior team, they know about the possibility of returning to the path of victories and adding points to continue in the pursuit of their goals.
Unlike their opponent, Valladolid has two wins in the last seven matches, also, it also has four draws and one defeat. In the last match, they won against Alaves by the score of 1 to 0, at home. Returning to acting as a visitor, they know that they will find it difficult to achieve a positive result. In seventeen games as a visitor, the team has four wins, five draws and eight defeats, showing a terrible offensive performance, as they have an average of 0.71 goals scored.
Football | Championship - Cardiff vs Blackburn:
Cardiff vs Blackburn Handicap -0.25 Cardiff
A confrontation between two teams seeking a place in the first division of the English league, as Cardiff is in sixth place with 64 points and Blackburn in eleventh place with 56 points. Cardiff knows that they will hardly get a spot without playing in the Play-Offs, so they will have to work hard on the pitch. In the last four matches, the team had three wins and a draw, the last win against Bristol City, by the score of 1 to 0.
Blackburn is eight points away from playing the competition's Play-Offs. Thus, they know the importance of adding points, since they come from a sequence of three consecutive defeats, the last being against Leeds by the score of 3 to 1. One of the difficulties presented by the team has been the defensive system, as they have not conceded goals in four of the twenty matches played as a visitor. Therefore, we see favoritism for Cardiff in this confrontation. Due to the importance of a victory to achieve their goals, a bet on the home team is an excellent option.

One in Christ: meditations in the week following Martin Luther King Day | Theology for ordinary people.
This last Monday was MLK day, the day our government sets aside each year to honor the life and work of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Some congregations remembered him in their prayers on Sunday; some held small prayer services or sang a gospel hymn in his honor; some did nothing at all. As with all secular holidays that may be observed in church, I think it's important to think about why we as a church care about this observance decreed by our political leaders.
So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. 6 We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; 7 ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; 8 the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. 9 Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; 10 love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
There are many divisions in this world, divisions that we see as fundamental, that so deeply permeate our society and our ways of thinking that we don't even recognize them. This was true in St. Paul's day; this is equally true today, though the categories that divide us have changed. And yet, as in Paul's day, we have all been made one in Christ. But more fundamentally even than that, every human being on this planet was created in the image of God. Christian or not, we are made in the image of God. That's an amazing thing! Every time you see a person, you see God! That image may be twisted or broken, that image may be hidden beneath layers of differences you can't understand and perhaps don't want to. But it cannot be denied. Think about that for a bit.
Do we treat one another as if that is the case? Really? It's fairly easy to do when we are dealing with people like ourselves–skin color, gender identity, orientation, class, ethnicity, etc., etc. It's a lot harder when dealing with people who don't look like us and share our cultural backgrounds. We see the differences and the divisions, and let them blind us to the image of God, created by God's loving care. The tragedy comes when people know they should do that and yet, ingrained in their mind deep down, are the prejudices that are created by and thrive on the divisions that separate us. It's so much easier to ignore those darker voices within us, to allow them free reign while believing they don't exist, than it is to face them. It's always difficult to face the ways in which we ourselves are broken by sin, both as groups and as individuals. And yet unless we can, unless you and I can acknowledge our sin, our failure to treat all of God's children as God wants them to be treated, we not only allow sin to flourish, we hurt other people through what we do and what we leave undone.
This is the duty all humans owe to God who created us in his image, to ourselves, and to our neighbors throughout the world. As Christians we owe still more, for we know that our fellow Christians–no matter how different from us they may look or seem–are truly members of the same body, the body of Christ. We are called not only to respect them, but truly love them as our brothers and sisters, to accept and cherish both the similarities that bind us together and the differences that could tear us apart if we're not careful.
It's a tall order, and we could not do it alone. Thank God for our lord and savior Jesus Christ, into whose life, death, and resurrection we were baptized and whose body and blood we are given in the Eucharist, even as we are formed into Christ's body in this world. Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the empowering and renewing wind that blows through our lives and sends us out into the world to do God's work. Thank God for forgiving us when we fall short of his commands.
And thank God for the life of our brother Martin, who lived and died for the work of God to unite us all as brothers and sisters in one holy family.

Q: Why does my debugg system on the webbrowser tell me (drawImage is not a function)? I am making a JavaScript program while I tried to draw an image. I just searched on Google how to do it and multiply sources told me the same:
ctx.drawImage(images[0],100,100);

I tried to do this so, I made an array and putted in a image in their and then a src and tried to draw the image but my Firefox debugger tells me "drawImage is not a function".
This is my code:
var images = new Array();
canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
images[0] = new Image();
images[0].src=("img/w1.png");
ctx.drawImage(images[0],100,100);

BTW this works on the program :
ctx[1].fillStyle = "#000000";
ctx[1].fillRect(x[0], y[0], 50, 50);

A: Once you define your ctx right it should work.
var images = new Array();
canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
images[0] = new Image();
images[0].src=("img/w1.png");
ctx.drawImage(images[0],100,100);


Butterflies the size of beach blankets, you guys.
Last week was a bit of a rollercoaster, to say the least… Lots of work to be done, plenty of prep for our Alt Summit panel in a few days, and then BAM! We found out that a wee little dream of ours has come true, and we'll be spending six weeks of this coming Springtime on the coast in Long Beach, CA!
The cold and rainy seasons here in the Northeast have been less than ideal for our tiny sunshine-loving-family, and much of the time – we miss the West Coast so much that it hurts! (Seriously… Embarrassing amounts of crocodile tears every time we board the plane to leave.) Instead of constantly daydreaming about life back at the beach, we decided to do something about it AND the result is going to be an extended stay in a cozy little apartment right on the sand.
Some fun things that we're excited to experience in our new neighborhood (all just a few miles away!)… The Aquarium of the Pacific // Catalina Island // The Laugh Factory // The Queen Mary // Adored Vintage // The Long Beach Antique Market // So many more!
Luckily, Mr. Pepper and I can work most anywhere that we have a strong internet connection, and I'm looking forward to keeping up with a few current projects, while still consulting and prepping for some fabulous upcoming events, as well! Not to mention: So many special friends nearby!
I'd love to connect if you're in the area, and in the meantime – let me know if you have any can't-miss recommendations or fun ideas for our new [temporary] home away from home!
Oooohhhh you are lucky! I've only had a brief visit to California – San Francisco in 2009, and I HATED it. In defence of SF, our friends, who love it, were horrified at the change it had undergone in 12 months, so I plan to give it another chance one day.
I know what you mean about physcially missing a location – every time my friends in Minden NV post a picture, my heart and spirit ache – I miss it so much! Of course, living on the other side of the world makes it difficult to remedy this situation, but one day, I plan to live on Wildhorse Lane, and visit all the places in the American states that are on up my 'One Day' US travel wishlist. Because, how could anyone not want to live on a street called Wildhorse Lane?!
Such a lovely part of the world you're in!
OMG THAT IS SO AWESOME I AM SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!
that is SUPER exciting! I just did a quick blog post about long beach. i love that city :) enjoy enjoy enjoy!
If I didn't live on the sunny West Coast, I'd be one jealous lady. There's so much to do and with weather to match you're going to have a great stay!
You'll be just around the corner from my hometown, Seal Beach. Walt's Wharf on Main St. is a must, as is El Burrito Jr. (my vegetarian friends LOVE their bean tacos). You'll want to check out Huntington Beach, too.
Second St. in Long Beach has some great restaurants, and there's a Buffalo Exchange near the end of the street. Super Mex has great Mexican food.
I'm up in Long Beach once or twice a month…my best friend lives there, and my daughter goes to CSULB. You're going to have such a great time!
It's so much fun to get to live in different places without moving permanently! Have fun fun fun!

Daniel and his team have been taking my dog Cassie for walks while I am away at work. He is very good with Cassie. When Cassie first came to stay at my house she was quite a timid dog, being quite scared to venture outside the flat. Gradually however, with Daniels patience Cassie has become much braver and is no longer afraid to go outside or into the lift. Daniel is also great at helping out at short notice and has been extremely helpful to me as I sometimes work late. On those days he will feed Cassie as well. I know I can trust my dog to be with Daniel and his team.


I love exploring the artistic details on older buildings; most of our modern buildings (while they can be striking) rarely make use of applied or symbolic ornamentation. Older buildings, designed with with that kind of ornamentation, add layers of interest and meaning about the building's intended use or occupants that survive long after the initial impressions of the building have faded. Here, on a building which originally housed the US Post Office headquarters, the architrave frieze contains bas-relief sculptures depicting forms of long-distance communication throughout history. From the left, African drumming, Roman mirror signaling, Native American blanket signaling, the use of birds for message delivery, and Native American smoke signaling.

RHB's Thai Tai
Malaysia''s RHB creates country head for Thailand after 40 years in Bangkok.
Following the recent lacklustre performance of its Bangkok branch RHB Bank has chosen one of its former troops to revive the office's fortunes. The two-year search for a country head finally came to an end with the appointment of Chong Yih Tai, who started his career with United Malayan Banking, the forerunner to RHB, in Kuala Lumpur 20 years ago.
Tai will become the first country head in the 44-year history of RHB's Thai presence. To date the business has been run by the branch manager, but the erosion of the bank's profitability in recent years prompted management in Malaysia to search for a suitable candidate to take overall responsibility for the operation. Tai seemed a natural choice. He spent three years working at the bank's head office in Kuala Lumpur, followed by another six years in the Bangkok office.
After leaving in 1993 Tai continued to cover the Thai market in various positions at Sumitomo Trust & Banking, Cathay Trust and London Forfaiting, where he was chief country representative for Thailand, before setting up on his own in 2001 to trade distressed debt. And now he's back at RHB again. "It's like returning home."
Although the branch has a full banking licence it has struggled in recent years to put its Bt2 billion capital fund to good use. Tai plans to change that. "We need to bring the bank's name to the forefront of the Thai business community once again," he says. "Our loans-to-deposit ratio is very low so we will be looking to expand on the loans and advances side."
Tai hopes to do this by shifting the bank's focus away from small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) and to grow the customer base into new, more profitable, areas. "Subject to head office consent I intend to embark on a new direction for lending to the corporate sector instead of the SMEs," says Tai.
