Poodles and "prey" animals
What kinds of animals does your dog consider prey? I am very relieved that, through much training, my dog Sammie now behaves perfectly around chickens. He will, however, chase squirrels. I don't know how he would react to cats, but I'm sure he could be taught not to chase them.
rmillstein
Definitely squirrels and birds, though I've never seen Marley around a chicken. Oddly enough, flies. (He tries to catch them in his mouth). We think that he sees cats as potential friends rather than prey, because he had a cat in his former household. However, the cats don't see his overtures in quite the same way.
Our squirrel story today: We were eating outside at a restaurant. Normally, we put Marley in a downstay and he is extremely good... he has stayed down for a couple of hours, no problem. He usually falls asleep. But just in case, I always tie his leash to my chair. Today a squirrel ran close to our table, and it was just too much temptation. He bolted after the squirrel so hard and fast that he broke out of his collar -- we had been told that it was designed to do that, but not being able to break it ourselves, we didn't really believe it. Somehow Marley's 14.4 pounds of determination did it. Luckily nothing bad happened -- he quickly ran himself into a corner (I don't know where the squirrel went) and we got him back to the table without incident. Let's just say he was in the doghouse for the rest of the meal. (ha ha).
Squirrels.
Ducks.
Geese.
That's all I've noticed so far.. probably anything similiar in size.

lol That is a cute story. It's a good thing he wasn't strong enough to knock you out of your chair. I think the squirrel ran close to Marley on purpose.

Heh... now that would be impressive.
I think the squirrel ran close to Marley on purpose.
I agree! They are wily little creatures, and they love to taunt dogs.
Purple Poodle
They are all good with the cats but Tuesday like to pester them until they run she was around Geese before I got her and was punished for getting close to them (part of some issues I'm working on) but she is very interested in big birds. The little ones that come into the yard, not so much. She would chase a squirrel if she had the chance.
Sam I Am
Sam will catch small birds that come into the yard. He doesn't know what to do with them once he has caught them though. He will chase rabbits and squirrels, but he doesn't look like he really wants to catch them. He has a thing about flies also, he stalks them and snaps at them.
Oh yeah, rabbits. Marley is definitely interested in the rabbits.
Mourningdove
Being in sagebrush-juniper, Donner's and Molly's favorite is Jackrabbits. This time of year, they wake me up at the crack of dawn to go hunt. I let them out for 15 minutes or so, then round them up with a whistle. They are usually good about returning (60 acres) but I have to go get them sometimes on a golfcar. They also love to corner Bushy-Tailed Woodrats in the woodpile. Harley tries for the smaller rabbits that get under our hottub. Molly also likes to chase Western Fence Lizards and scarab beetles that will hiss if disturbed.
Oh yes, Sammie does like to chase flies and other insects. Even bees.

Sam I Am said:
haha, that's how Paris is, She chases things but if she were to catch it she wouldn't know what to do with it! She chases the cat, if she catches it she stands there like... "now what?"
Anything that MOVES... but KaJ is really good about it. He never crosses the yard line, even tho our "yard line" just goes into our other farmyard driveway, and the yard of our sons home. Once he catches up with whatever he is chasing..the fun is all over for him. Its so cute to see him sitting at the edge of our yard..with a barn cat sitting on the other side just having a staredown with each other. Now Angel, she will chase and chase and try to tree everything. She goes crazy when there is a bug around, she does the stalking and snap also.
starkeeper
Star is very much a bird dog.
I also don't trust her to not run down and chase and drag her maltese brother or our house rabbit.
I keep my eye on her interactions with them.
Purple Poodle said:
Yes Enzo loves our cats but he likes to pester them too lol I just tell him leave it and he will stop chasing or pouncing at them. He has not really gotten the chance to see other small animals. He seen ducks but does not care for them

Oh, geez...
Just about anything but other poodles.
When Alex was a struttin' young lad, he saw a gaggle of geese on the shore of a lake where we live. Since he was off leash, he made a bolt for them. The geese simply waddled out into the lake and paddled away. Alex lunged in after them. Since he'd never been in the water before, he got this panicked look on his face, as he realized... he couldn't swim!!!
I was already kicking off my shoes (aw, crap am I going to have to jump into the lake and save my dog?) when he put it all together and realized all he had to do was paddle back in. He shook himself on the beach and just danced around!! We both had BIG laugh about that. He's never been swimming since.
Cleo will bound into the brush after deer. Alex loves to herd cows with his mighty voice (which of course can get him shot some places here... ). Cleo has discovered ground squirrels, and will chase them into their burrows until she's completely spent, and looks like this....

From the smallest little acorn lots of delicious cookies will grow! So plant some yummy seeds with our mini-acorn cookie cutter and wait for the acorns to fall. They'll scatter themselves along autumn tables or pile up into pretty centrepieces. Just decorate with melted chocolate, caramel and crushed nuts or sprinkles then enjoy with hot cocoa and a roaring fire. Add in some mini-mushroom and oak leaf cookies for a charming, woodland collection.

2 00:00:06,936 --> 00:00:10,900 Welcome back to Know Thyself: On the Value and Limits of Self-Knowledge. Today our second class will be entitled Descartes' Essence and as you can guess, it will be about the philosopher named Descartes. Rene Descartes was a philosopher whose dates were 1596 to 1650. And he was a French philosopher, scientist, as well as a mathematician. He was the inventor of Analytic Geometry. He is the person who after whom the Cartesian coordinate system is named. If you've done any graphing you've probably used Cartesian coordinate systems. And he had interests in optics and meteorology as well. And he's commonly credited with inventing what we now refer to as the Modern era of philosophy. In philosophy, things move pretty slowly, so that in other fields what's referred to as modern, might refer to the last ten or fifteen years. Whereas in philosophy what we refer to as modern tends to be about the last four centuries! And Descartes was, it seems, wary of the fate of Galileo down in Italy, who had been subject to the Inquisition for having challenged some authoritative teachings of the Church. Descartes might have been trying to be careful not to get in similar kinds of trouble in the course of trying to pursue his own ideas. And if you want to read some of the writings that Descartes produced that will help you understand some of the things we're talking about here in this course and deepen your knowledge, you will find online a website called Early Modern Texts (earlymoderntexts.com). I'll also be posting a URL for you on the course website. And Jonathan Bennet, the distinguished philosopher, has translated Descartes, as well as many other philosophers, into contemporary idiomatic English. And in the case, in particular, of Descartes, he has embellished the text a little bit in order to make it a bit more accessible to readers who are new to the material. So what is he about? What is his enterprise? What is he trying to accomplish? Well Descartes had a number of aims in this essay called The Meditations. He wanted to use reason as opposed to, for example, divine revelation in order to establish Theism. Theism is the belief in the existence of God, usually defined in the western Judeo-Christian tradition as the being than which there can be no greater. And that's usually in turn defined as a being that has all possible perfections such as omniscience, omnipotence, omnibenevolence, etc. So any perfection that God has, that God might be thought to have, God in fact has by that definition. Descartes wanted to argue for Theism in that sense that a God so defined does in fact exist. Descartes just as importantly wanted to establish a new foundation for the sciences. The science of his day that he was raised in and his early education was heavily influenced by scholastic philosophy. This was in turn heavily influenced by Aristotelian science. And although there is a great deal to be said for Aristotelian science, it tended to, so to speak, posit a level of mindedness, of animacy, in what we now think of as inanimate objects. So, to put the thought very simply, in Aristotelian and thereby scholastic science, it was not uncommon to explain why, for example, a rock fell towards the surface of the earth when thrown up into the air. On the basis of the hypothesis that the rock had a kind of, the term was conatus, something like an implicit unexpressed desire to end up at what it took to be the centre of the universe. Descartes though that that was positing a level of mindedness in what he thought was an otherwise mindless nature. And he wanted to come up with more rigorous, scientific explanation of natural phenomena and, as we just saw a moment ago, the developer himself of a powerful new set of mathematical tools. He wanted to, as we now describe it, mathematize nature as much as possible. To explain how it is that things happen in the world outside of our minds in a way that can be clearly and rigorously expressed in mathematical terms and also explained by means of mathematically expressible laws. Descartes also wanted to prove that the mind's a distinct kind of substance from the body. He took it that the mind is not something that can be fully explained in purely physical terms and he gives an argument for that that we'll see in just a moment. Part of Descartes' method will be to demand that as much as possible our mind, in the course of inquiry into ourselves and the world around us, be free from prejudices and withdraw as much as possible from association with the senses. And in the course of arguing for this position, Descartes' going to be championing what he thinks of, or we now think of as an alternative to Empiricism, namely, Rationalism. Whereas Empiricism is the view that all knowledge comes from, and only from the senses, Rationalism is a view that opposes that. And while it's not always clearly and precisely defined, roughly speaking, Rationalism is going to be for our purposes the doctrine. That proper use of our reasoning faculties will give us the information that we need about our nature about what is right and what is wrong, about mathematics, about the world around us, and perhaps even, and hopefully as well, even about God. And as I mentioned, Rationalism's ancient rival is Empiricism. When you first hear Empiricism, you will probably find that it seems obvious, that it seems it's hard to deny that all knowledge come from and only from experience. But if you reflect more on Empiricism you might begin to have some questions. For example, we take it that there are two kinds of knowledge roughly speaking, one kind of knowledge is a posteriori. That knowledge that's got from experience, but there seems to be other kinds of knowledge. That we might think of as, a priori, prior to experience. So think about your belief, which in some cases you might also consider to be a case of knowledge that, for example, certain mathematical claims are true, that two plus two is four, that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Those are things that I doubt you'll be able to verify to establish by empirical means. It's not clear what tests you could undertake to determine conclusively that two plus two is four. That the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Claims of mathematic seem very secure, very certain, but they don't look like the things that we can know by means of empirical investigation. The empiricist owes us an answer to how do we know such things. That's one kind of case. Another kind of case that seems to be at least prima facie challenge to empiricism is the confidence that we seem to have, many of us take ourselves to know that there are certain things that are right, other things that are wrong. Think about various forms of behaviour that you feel sure are absolutely immoral. And other forms of behaviour that you feel sure are absolutely moral. For example, for the former case, taking pleasure in torturing a small child, for example. Most of us will feel not just that it's a matter of opinion that such a thing is wrong, but that we feel sure that that's just a fact. Now, as far as we think that, we take ourselves to know probably that such a behaviour is wrong. But what empirical investigation could establish that? What empirical inquiry could determine that such a thing is immoral? After all, there are plenty of cases in which we cause young children pain, for example, when we give them shots to vaccinate them that we don't take to be wrong and don't take to be immoral. So, just the sheer fact that we're causing someone pain doesn't make it wrong. What is it about, for example, torturing a child for your entertainment that makes it wrong. And if we can explain that, it's not clear how we can explain it in empirical terms. The rationalist wants to come back with an explanation of those kinds of knowledge. And then will in turn try to generalize the method to account for, in a sense, how it is that we need to use our rational faculties to get even knowledge of the external world, that a posteriori knowledge that I mentioned a moment ago. Among other famous philosophers who were rationalists besides Descartes were Spinoza, Leibniz, and Malebranche. Rationalists emphasized the use of reason, but few would deny that we get anything at all from the senses. The issue is rather what the senses provide. Do the senses provide information of a sort that can be turned straight away into knowledge? Or does what the senses provide, more like the way in which food provides calories, which indirectly enables us to think. And indirectly enables us to produce knowledge, but there's no direct link between caloric intake and knowledge. And so, to the rationalists, might want to say there's no direct route between sensory and experience and knowledge as well. You can find roots of rationalism in Socrates himself who we discussed in our last lecture. So, for example, in the dialog known as the Meno, Socrates uses what we refer to recently as Socratic Method. Asking someone questions without telling them anything, but in the process, getting them to come to a realization on their own. In the Meno, Socrates has a discussion with his friend, Menos, one of his slaves, a boy. And he gets the boy to see without, Socrates claims, any suggestions or any statements or any implicit leading of the questions that he asks him. He gets the boy to see the truth of a geometrical theorem. And Socrates says, this boy came to see that a certain theorem in geometry is true but I didn't tell him anything. And furthermore, it's not likely that he learned this theorem of geometry on his own in the course of his ten years on this earth as a slave on Meno's estate. So Socrates infers he must have had it in him already, it must have been innate inside of him. Socrates suggests therefore that the, Meno's slave boy, and generalizes it to the rest of us, must have had a soul that pre-existed the embodiment of that soul in our physical body, firstly. And secondly, that soul must have been something in which there is some kind of reservoir of information. If not actually knowledge, then what Socrates will refer to as true opinion. In the Phaedo, another dialogue that is the description of the very last moments of Socrates before he actually drank the hemlock, Socrates tells his friends that death is the separation of the soul from the body, and makes the surprising claim that what the philosopher does for most of his or her life is freeing the soul from association with body as much as possible. He says at one point that the soul reasons best when none of the senses troubles it. Neither hearing nor sight nor pain nor pleasure, but when it is most by itself, taking leave of the body, and as far as possible having no contact or association with it in its search for reality. So Socrates suggests that there's a sense in which thinking is done, can be done, and probably will be done best, when you detach yourself from sensory experience and think on your own. And if it all possible, do so in a way that is completely separated from your physical being. In that respect you will be engaging in thinking at its best, you will be most likely to acquire knowledge, but doing so requires pushing away sensory experience. This point of view, therefore, is Socrates' way of expressing a rationalist position that will be dormant for some centuries, and then come to resurface in the work of Descartes.


NPs typically come to the attention of investigators for the Board of Nursing in one of two ways.
In the first scenario, the Board learns of a malpractice damage award against an NP through the National Practitioner Data Bank. A malpractice award against an NP will not necessarily be investigated by the Board of Nursing. However, if the damage award is large, or there is some other indication that the NP may be incompetent or grossly negligent, the Board of Nursing may choose to investigate.
In the second scenario, an audit of a facility, such as a nursing home, turns up irregularities involving an NP. It is the second scenario which is most common.
NPs working in nursing homes and hospitals--settings where care is audited by state agencies-- are advised to ascertain that progress notes 1) reflect appropriate follow-up of diagnostic work-ups and therapy and 2) detail the NP's thought processes when ordering unusual treatments. The auditors often are not NPs or MDs, and may not appreciate the gray areas of clinical judgment.
This tip is exerpted from The Gold Sheet, a monthly newsletter on quality issues for NPs, produced by the Law Office of Carolyn Buppert. To subscribe to The Gold Sheet, or to its companion newsletter, The Green Sheet, which addresses compensation issues, send a check to Law Office of Carolyn Buppert, 1419 Forest Drive, Suite 205, Annapolis, MD 21403.

Ever wondered what it would be like to dive off a 14-storey building? Ok, that sounds a little suicidal, but that's the kind of sensation you get when you're sliding down Insano, the highest water slide in the world.
Part of a water park near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, Insano is known as one of the most thrilling water park attractions in the world. Constructed in 1989, it still holds the record for the highest water slide on Earth, at 41 meters high. That's as tall as a 14-storey building, in case you were wondering. What makes Insano "the most extreme equipment of this type on the planet" (according to the beach park's official site) is the very steep slide that really lets gravity do its number on anyone crazy enough to try it. Apparently, the whole decent takes just 4 to 5 seconds but during that time you can reach speeds of up to 105 km/h. That's as fast as a Ferrari.
Luckily, there's a nice big pool at the bottom to bring you to a halt, but I wonder what would happen if you ran before sliding… This thing looks so steep that you might actually miss the slide and jump to your death. Everyone commenting on photos and videos of Insano seems to want to try sliding on it themselves, but I can barely stand to watch others doing it. For once, I think I might NOT be the one with a problem. Oh and if you're thinking about all the crazy positions you'd like to slide off Insano, you should know they only allow the classic water slide position, to avoid any injuries. Also, people with special needs, pregnant women and children under 1.40 aren't allowed to use it.


PUNE: City-based Sajag Nagrik Manch has demanded cancellation of a tender to install CCTVs in Pune Municipal Corporation's new building at Shivajinagar, alleging that the bidder had quoted highly inflated rates which would make a dent of Rs 35 lakh in civic coffers.
The group members claimed that the electrical department of PMC has issued tender for surveillance system. PMC plans to install HD camera control, LCD monitor and digital podium system in the new civic administration headquarters. The tender price was supposed to be Rs 74 lakh.
The cost of the camera quoted in the tender is around Rs 5.25 lakh. These types of cameras can be bought in the market for around Rs81,899. Even the price of monitoring system is around Rs 7.20lakh, while the tender has quoted Rs12.69 lakh. The civic administration wants to by four such cameras and monitoring units, said activists. "The difference between market price and tender bid is alarmingly high. It appears that the deal is shady. The civic administration should make sure that public money is not wasted in this tender," said Vivek Velankar, founder of the group.
He said that the group has written a letter to the civic administration, demanding an inquiry into the tendering process to find out whether it was rigged. "Observations made by the citizens' group will be studied. Action will be taken if any irregularity is found," said Shrikrishna Chaudhari, head of PMC's electrical department.

The Growing Importance of the Network Edge
By Lior Mishan
As so much attention shifts to the network edge, there is a growing realization of the potential of edge computing to improve performance, scalability, reliability, and regulatory compliance options for critical applications.
One key to achieving the edge's potential is in accelerators, such as Smart NICs. That's one of the points made in a new, comprehensive report on the current edge computing landscape.
The State of the Edge 2018 report (available for download here), a collaborative effort of Arm, Packet, Vapor IO, and others, points to the "central role" of these accelerators, "due to an emerging distributed architecture, as well as power constraints and workload requirements."
The report notes that device edge (user side) resources are often constrained by power and connectivity, while at the infrastructure edge (service provider side), the environment is ripe for dynamically scalable resources that can deliver a centralized cloud experience, just on a smaller scale.
So how can a provider best deliver these dynamically scalable resources? Through an edge data centers approach, with many small but powerful centers located close to users to assure minimal latency. This model can help to provide the cloud-like experience.
The report anticipates that a typical infrastructure edge deployment will provide enough computing, data storage, and network capacity to support elastic resource allocation within a given regional area. Done correctly, it accomplishes the right balance and tradeoff between latency and resource density.
"Importantly, edge data centers will be capable of supporting the wide array of computing hardware that is quickly defining distributed architectures, including specialized accelerators such as FPGAs… and SmartNICs," the report says. Our ACE NIC40 and ACE NIC100 are prime examples.
Edge nodes, located in sites such as virtual central offices, will be capable of supporting the same types of hardware and services as a centralized cloud data center. Importantly, the report sees them containing hundreds or even thousands of specialized accelerator devices in order to provide the high-performance and low-latency foundation for applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Clearly, acceleration will play an increasingly important role in the future of the edge. But we believe that just as important as acceleration is the programmability that an FPGA architecture enables. In an increasingly virtualized environment, service providers require the maximum flexibility in configuring their equipment to meet dynamic, ever-changing customer needs.
The report backs up our contention, noting that "Edge computing will require a very different supply and service chain, one that is facile at deploying and managing a wide variety of unique resources in thousands of locations." It adds that the edge workload will certainly benefit from custom low power systems-on-chips (SoCs) and programmable SmartNICs.
That is why we at Ethernity Networks emphasize all-programmable platforms, whether the requirements involve mobile telecom, enterprise security, or data centers. It's why we incorporate hardware, FPGA firmware, and software applications into a complete offering that enables full programmability at the pace of software development.

"A friend is a gift you give yourself."

The take off
Isro's heaviest rocket is ready but is it enough for the load that lies ahead?
GSLV Mark III, which blasts off today, will lift Isro's capacity to launch bigger commercial satellites. Yet the agency needs more. It has even been secretly preparing for it
Gopal Raj, 5 Jun 2017
The Mark III uses a very different cryogenic stage than the one on the GSLV, simpler in design and two and a half times more powerful than the latter. So far, this stage and its engine have only been tested on the ground
Today will see the rocket's first developmental flight, with all its stages operational. A successful flight means it'd be able to launch communication satellites that were being launched abroad at a considerable cost
But given the evolving nature of space requirements, GSLV Mark III may not suffice. Isro certainly needs to improve its ability to put higher and higher mass objects into space for multiple reasons
Turns out, Isro has been secretly working on another technology with some Ukrainian help
Want to read this story instantly?
At the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India's sole spaceport in Sriharikota, a hulking metal form looms over the Second Launch Pad. Isro's newest rocket, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III, is ready to take to the skies this evening.
Isro officials will be keeping their fingers crossed. The performance of the rocket's cryogenic stage, running on liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, will be of particular concern. Very much on their minds will be the memory of what happened when the Mark III's older sibling, the GSLV, flew with the first domestically made cryogenic stage in 2010. The cryogenic stage malfunctioned, and the flight ended in failure.
The Mark III uses a very different cryogenic stage than the one on the GSLV, simpler in design and two and a half times more powerful than the latter. So far, this stage and its engine have only been tested on the ground.
A successful flight will be a momentous step forward for the space agency. For one thing, it will now be able to launch communication satellites that were being launched abroad at a considerable cost
In an experimental mission in December 2014, the performance of Mark III's other stages—a large liquid propellant core stage flanked by two huge solid boosters that are among the largest in the world—were tested in flight. On that occasion, a dummy cryogenic stage was used.
Today will see the rocket's first developmental flight, with all its stages operational. Onboard is a 3.1-tonne communication satellite, GSAT-19, the heaviest the space agency has attempted to launch from within the country.
A successful flight will be a momentous step forward for the space agency. For one thing, it will now be able to launch communication satellites that were being launched abroad at a considerable cost. In the longer term, the Mark III opens the door for a transition to much more powerful rockets that Isro intends to build. These rockets can carry heavier spacecraft and will allow India to contemplate challenging missions in space exploration and human spaceflight. But looking at the evolving space requirements, the Mark III may soon require a major markup.
The step up
Even after the GSLV first flew in 2001, initially with a Russian cryogenic stage and then with an Indian-made equivalent, a dozen of Isro's communication and meteorological (met) satellites have been launched on Europe's Ariane rockets. These satellites need to ultimately reach a specific orbit about 36,000km above the equator, the geostationary orbit.
Just eight such satellites have thus far successfully gone on the GSLV.
The reason is simple. As the graph indicates, the GSLV's heft has been inadequate for several of the satellites Isro needed to send to space.

Why you need to apply for a new cheque book
Considered to be a major milestone in the history of Indian banking, Cheque Truncation System (CTS) aims to make cheque clearance more efficient and reduce the clearance time of cheques to one day, thereby trimming down the floating time considerably. India processes as many as 1.2 billions cheques annually and therefore, the implementation of this system would drastically cut down the waiting period involved. The system will be implemented nationwide from April 1, 2013.
An online image-based cheque clearing system, the collecting bank branch would deploy scanned images along with the magnetic ink character (MICR) of the cheque which will be sent out electronically using their Capture System, removing the need for physical/manual transfer of cheques. The captured images and the data is then signed and encrypted and sent to the Clearing House or the central processing location and thereafter forwarded to the drawee or paying bank.
This helps speed up the cheque collection process that eventually helps provide better and faster customer service.
Key Features of Cheque Truncation System
User friendly graphic user interface
Automated coding and endorsing of cheques
Encryption of data file before transmission to the clearing house or the service branch
Employs a unique transaction follower process to confirm the status of cheque
Improved and efficient settlement and prevention of fraud
Equipped with enhanced archival procedure that stores images and data facilitating report generation along with future enquiry
Alerts RMs in case of return of cheque due to insufficient funds
Impact of CTS on Customers
Handling of EMIs with the Introduction of CTS
In cases where customers have issues post-dated cheques (PDC) for payment of monthly installments towards an ongoing loan, they would need to issue fresh cheques to the bank or service provider as per the new directive on CTS by the RBI. The replacement of these cheques needs to be done latest by April 1, 2013 and is applicable on all banks and NBFCs.
Encashment of Old Cheques
Customers may need to surrender their old cheque books or cancel them and show proof of cancellation. No replacement fee will be charged by the bank for issuing new cheque books
Apart from these aspects, the system does not, in any way, affect the way things function for a customer. They would continue using cheques as they do currently; however, cheques that have been altered or modified will not be permissible under the new system. The other precautions that need to be taken while issuing or writing a cheque are:
Ensure that all details are clear and readable, using black or blue ink
Write the name of the payee, amount and the date and sign the cheque correctly.
In case you use seals on the cheque, ensure that they are imprinted in a manner that they do not mask or hide the other important fields of the cheque.
Benefits of CTS for Customers
There are many benefits of the cheque truncation system from the perspective of a customer.
Clearance cycle gets shortened - As this system is being implemented, the physical or manual movement of cheques for clearance has ceased. With cheques being transmitted electronically, the settlement process becomes quicker, facilitating reduction in the clearance cycle.
The fear of loss of cheques during transfer from the collecting bank to the drawee or payee bank is eliminated.
Limitations of the current clearance system with respect to jurisdiction and geography are eradicated. This enables integration and consolidation of several clearing locations across various banks offering different service levels into one standard clearance system applicable throughout the country.
CTS helps reduce the scope of fraud significantly. Moreover, the electronic transmission is quick and allows early detection of fraud or any alteration with respect to the payee, amount or the issuer of the cheque. CTS prescribe minimum security features under 'CTS-2010 standards' along with superior verification process that further facilitates in the reduction of frauds.
The operational efficiency of both the bank as well as the customer is enhanced with the introduction of this system.

Andrew Blum: What is the Internet, really?
Watch what you say on social media, say lawyers
To avoid hassles while using the social media network, lawyers say social media users should exercise 'some level of care and caution'.
High court lawyer Jamshed Mistry said, "On a larger social platform, one has to ensure that he/she does not put up content that is blasphemous or abusive in nature.
It is better to err on the side of caution."
He, however, added, "The principle of natural justice demands that a person who has put up a comment on a networking site be allowed to give an explanation for it. You cannot immediately book and arrest a person after a complaint, as it would be short-circuiting the procedure of law."
He said, "If the issue is not handled with care, maybe the time will come when one would need to put up a disclaimer with every post on a networking site."
Lawyer Arfan Sait said, "While Article 19 of the Constitution gives you freedom of speech, it is not absolute and has some limitations."
He said, "While putting up something on a networking site, one needs to have basic civic sense and social sensitivity. Also, youngsters should be given basic training about the Information Technology Act that will help them know what content can land them in trouble."
IPS officer turned lawyer YP Singh said that while on most occasions there is 'abusive discretion' - where a complaint is filed for some ulterior motive - something that cannot be stopped, when it comes to objective discretion, one has to tread carefully while putting up something about a religious community or caste.
"There are issues such as religion, caste or even jokes of a sexual nature that need to be handled carefully. One should refrain from using abusive or filthy words on social forums. Also, care should be taken to not share unfounded information or sexually explicit content," Singh added.

Cure for Dengue - Papaya leaf juice
PASS THIS INFORMATION TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN, IT MAY SAVE LIVES.
Dengue Fever Remedy
I would like to share this interesting discovery from a friend's classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion.
His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of
the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet
count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised.
After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap.
It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it works.
*Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue*
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.
A friend of my friend had dengue last year.. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood
transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered
after 3 days!!!
Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.
Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases.
It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.
Furthermore it's so easily available.
Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!
How Mobile Will Change Business
In the near future, developers say car apps will be big and Facebook may be the social network of the past.
How do you unseat a Goliath like Facebook? The strategy in a nutshell: Think mobile.
According to a survey conducted by Appcelerator and research firm IDC, more than 66% of mobile developers believe that start-ups have a fighting chance against Facebook--if they go mobile first.
"Developers are highlighting a cautionary note that all businesses should pay attention to: Mobile has the power to reshape entire industries and these changes will be swift," the survey reads. "It is not enough to port elements of your existing business model over to mobile. Staying competitive in the era of mobility requires fundamentally re-envisioning traditional business models through a mobile-first lens."
It's worth noting that there have been some attempts already to chip away at Facebook's dominance via mobile apps: fast-growing social network Path is one, which the survey doesn't mention. But these are still early days. The survey's larger point is that every business--not just those in the social media space--will need to take a mobile-first approach in the coming years.
The report surveyed 5,526 mobile developers from August 22-28, 2012 on their perceptions of the mobile space and its future integration with social media and the cloud. According to Appcelerator and IDC, this report compiles the world's largest mobile developer survey conducted to date.
Respondents also weighed in on future mobile predictions: 84% believe they will be building apps for television by 2015 and 74% of developers say they will be building apps for cars by the same date. Above all, most respondents acknowledged the speed at which mobile development is growing and highlighted its importance in the small business community.
"Mobile provides enterprises with an unprecedented opportunity to transform their relationships and build towards competitive advantage--even faster than was possible when Web technologies emerged," the survey says.
But be warned: Mobile "will also leave a wake of casualties among companies that underestimate the speed of disruption."

New 4000-mile bus route will connect Birmingham to Kashmir
Mirpur in Jammu and Kashmir will now be directly linked by road with the United Kingdom through a direct bus service, says a report.
A new 4,000-mile bus route connecting the city Birmingham, will pass through seven countries, including Iran, before finally reaching its destination, also known as 'Little Birmingham'.
Passengers embarking on the epic 12-day journey are likely to be charged 130 pounds for a ticket, the Daily Mirror reports.
The service is definitely a good news for the people of Birmingham, which is home to the world's largest population of Kashmiri expats.
According to the report, security concerns have, however, been raised about the route, which will stop over at Quetta, Pakistan.
Top Taliban commanders are said to be hiding in the volatile city, near the Afghan border.

Apple iPhone 5 Official Trailer
iPhone 5 Releasing on September 21st 2012!!! Hurray!!! Features and Photos
Get set tech fans, Apple is about to reveal the new iPhone 5.
Rumours across the web suggest this latest version will have a bigger screen, better battery life and be ready for 4G.
It's also thought to have a new dock connector which would mean that old iPhone accessories like docks or speakers won't work on the new version.
The launch is today at about 6pm UK time but the new iPhone probably won't be available in the UK for a few weeks.
The smartphone market is getting pretty crowded, with Samsung, Nokia and Apple all competing to be top of the gadgets.
The tough competition from other companies has put more pressure on the iPhone 5 to wow customers and to bring in more money for the tech giant.
Some people are saying that Apple has lost its edge and is playing safe - so it seems tonight's launch will need to be pretty impressive to make an impact.

The new iPhone will be made entirely of glass and aluminum, said Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller. iPhone 5 will be 18% thinner than its previous model Apple iPhone 4S.
Cook announced the opening of an Apple store in the 13th country on Friday. Cook told the audience at the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco that its apps store now has more than 700,000 on tap - the industry's largest library.
Apple also is making a lot of headway in a corporate market that has been dominated by struggling Canadian smartphone maker Research in Motion. Cook said almost every Fortune 500 companies was testing or using its iPhones and iPads.
The announcement at a Berlin electronics show comes amid expectations that smartphone makers may turn increasingly to Windows devices after a US jury decided many of Samsung's Google Android-based phones infringed Apple Inc patents.
Samsung's Windows-based smartphone, introduced on Wednesday, marks the first in a 'big lineup of new hardware' from the South Korean company based on Microsoft's software, Microsoft executive Ben Rudolph said.

Windows 8 spurs new touchscreen hybrid PC designs
PC-makers are showing off a range of new computers aimed at convincing users to upgrade after Windows 8 is released.
Microsoft's operating system features a touchscreen interface prompting manufacturers to restyle their laptops.
HP, Toshiba, Dell, Asus and Lenovo are among those showing off new products.
Efforts are split between models in which keyboards detach from screens, ones in which the keys remain attached but can be hidden behind displays, and traditional fixed clamshell designs.
The hybrid tablet/laptop concept had been championed by Intel at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year.
Apple - which makes the bestselling tablet on the market - later suggested that mixing the different types of computer together risked a situation in which "you wind up compromising in both and not pleasing either user".
But some analysts say Windows 8 is specifically designed to work in both modes, so the designs may make sense. The operating system has been scheduled for release on 26 October.

PNB eyes wider global exposure to exploit weak market
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's largest fund manager, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) will continue diversifying its asset portfolio in the overseas market, viewing the tough financial market downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as a good opportunity to accumulate good quality stocks.
Group chairman Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said as a long-term investor, PNB focuses on the fundamentals; avoiding market congestion while identifying mega shifts in the financial market.
"Market weakness is in fact an opportunity for us to accumulate good quality stocks at lower valuations, and our current cash pile — about 13.4 per cent of our total asset — puts us in a good position to take advantage of this prevailing market mispricing," she said.
Speaking at the virtual media briefing on PNB's 2019 Annual Report and Strategic Plan for 2020-2022 here today, Zeti said that PNB has outlined its way forward in Focus 4 — a strategic plan which aims to ensure that the company is well-positioned to navigate through these tough times.
More importantly, Focus 4 aims to ensure that PNB will be in a state of readiness, with expanded capabilities to ride on the recovery when it occurs, she said.
President/ chief executive officer Jalil Rasheed said the three-year approach would provide PNB with the flexibility to be more responsive and agile to harness opportunities against the current fast-paced backdrop.
He said with Focus 4, PNB would continue to accelerate its portfolio diversification via investments into new asset classes and geographies, including global real estate opportunities with attractive yields.
PNB also plans to increase its global exposure to 30 per cent by 2022 from 8.5 per cent as of end-2019, he said, adding that PNB would strategically diversify its investments over a spectrum of global assets, while increasing capital efficiency and crystallising a more vibrant investment process.
"We have made significant progress in diversifying our portfolio last year and we will continue to build on this momentum. The goal is to optimise overall risk-adjusted returns in a persistently low-yielding environment.
"Not only will we be diversifying asset classes, but also sub-classes underneath to capture specific sectors and geographies," he said.
Jalil added that PNB is looking at online shopping private equities — especially the ones in Asia — as a potential investment, as the fund manager aims to diversify its assets away from developed market.
Meanwhile, commenting on the 2019 performance, Zeti said despite the volatile and challenging global economics, PNB recorded a resilient financial performance, making good progress in its portfolio diversification efforts as well as liquidity management, while enhancing unit holders' experience./
She said PNB was able to sustain the growth of its Assets Under Management, which surpassed the RM300 billion mark to reach RM312.0 billion, with units in circulation increasing by 7.3 per cent to reach almost 254 billion in 2019.
PNB has also disbursed a total of RM13.2 billion in income distributions and bonuses to its unit holders in 2019, bringing its total cumulative income distribution to RM200 billion for all of its 14 funds since its inception.
"This was very much driven by PNB's prudent investment approach, in tandem with its recent diversification into new asset classes and global financial markets," she said.
Going forward, Zeti said 2020 would indeed be a very challenging year for companies worldwide, including PNB, as most countries are not immune to the economic impact of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic.
She said volatility in the financial market would likely continue, with businesses being heavily disrupted, earnings adversely affected, and unemployment expected to increase.
However, there is some room for optimism amidst the bleak financial and economic conditions, she opined.
"While the necessary economic pain to contain the spread of the pandemic may be intense and immense, it will, however, be temporary.
"Once the economic shutdown is lifted, economic activities can be reignited. In the immediate time frame, a recession may be felt before the recovery occurs. We therefore need to look beyond the immediate term," she added.
Asked on whether PNB could perform better this year than last year, Zeti said several factors would determine the company's performance; namely, that the world would not experience a second wave of COVID-19 and the resumption of consumer spending.
She also said that the effectiveness in the implementation of policies by countries, especially those related to small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as the rising unemployment rate were also factors that would affect its outlook.
Zeti added that PNB's performance would also depend on the diversification of its portfolio and managing the risks so that it would be mindful of the developments that it would encounter, as well as the performance of the companies that it had invested in.

Charlotte woman accused of stealing identities through mail pleads guilty
March 02, 2022 at 5:30 pm EST
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte woman pleaded guilty on Wednesday to bank fraud in a multistate identity theft case.
Prosecutors say Charles Morgan Harrell, 58, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from residents and banks across three states, beginning around January 2020 and continuing through at least February 2021. She operated the bank fraud scheme in and around Charlotte, and also in Georgia and Virginia.

Harrell allegedly stole mail from streets in South Park, including Greencastle Drive and Honors Court.
Sandy Benjamin believes she stole from his mailbox. "We got a couple late notices on our accounts and we never received that mail," Benjamin told Action 9′s Jason Stoogenke.
Fortunately, he does not think anyone stole his identity.
Prosecutors say Harrell used people's personal information to make fake identification documents such as drivers' licenses and used them to open bank accounts at Bank of America, Fifth Third and Truist.

Prosecutors also claim she opened mail looking for checks. Then she would alter them and deposit them into those new accounts.
The U.S. Attorney's Office told Stoogenke there were at least 10 victims and that Harrell stole more than $150,000.
Harrell faces up to 30 years in prison.

Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is an amorphous transparent thermoplastic polymer. PMMA is recognized as an optical polymer based on its refractive index of 1.49. Hence, it is used in optical fibers.It finds uses in biological applications because of its lower water absorption capability and biocompatible.The maximum moisture content of PMMA is 1.71% and SBF absorption is 1.96%.Simulated Body fluid test (SBF) is a method to characterize the in vitro bioactivity of ceramic materials, by immersing the materials in an aqueous SBF solution.
PMMA/HA (Hydroxyapatite) composites have been used in biomedical applications such as dentistry, orthopedic retainers, and bone replacement. It is used as substrate for graphene growth.

Torrential rains leave swollen rivers, downed trees in South
Heavy rains fell Monday leaving the Tuscaloosa, Ala., area with high water and washed out roads, Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2020.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Days of torrential rain across the Southeast left residents to deal with rising rivers, falling trees, weakened dams and mudslides Thursday as storms finally subsided.
An Alabama town asked residents to cut back on water usage after a pumping station flooded, forcing officials to shut down schools, and multiple vehicles plowed into trees that fell across a highway in Mississippi.
But with rivers and creeks out of their banks across Alabama and Mississippi, forecasters said the region should dry out some before rains return next week once storms finally move eastward out of south Georgia.
Hartselle schools canceled for the day because water from a rising creek in north Alabama flooded a water pumping station, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted on Facebook. Utility officials in the town of about 14,000 people asked residents to conserve water.
"With the current flooding along the Tennessee River, TVA is doing everything to try and manage the water levels in the rivers and creeks," said a statement from Bob Sittason of Hartselle Utilities.
Along the Mississippi River in Vickburg, Mississippi, part of the parking lot at WaterView Casino and Hotel was covered with soil and grass after a soggy hillside collapsed, but no one was hurt and the gambling hall remained open.
Near Vicksburg, one person was taken to a hospital after seven 18-wheelers and a minivan collided with two trees that fell across Interstate 20 overnight, news outlets reported.
Officials in Starkville, Mississippi, were worried that around-the-clock pumping wasn't doing enough to relieve pressure on the rain-swollen Oktibbeha County Lake, where part of the dam collapsed in a mudslide last month.
"We encourage residents to make preparations now in the event they are required to evacuate," county emergency management director Kristen Campanella said in a statement. "Gather important documents and have a 'go bag' readily available in the event they must leave their home quickly."
Elsewhere, transportation officials shut down a major highway leading to Huntsville because of a crack that developed in the road after days of heavy rain. Crews were repairing both sides of U.S. 231 near Lacey's Springs, forcing commuters to take detours.
Flood warnings cover much of north and west Alabama. Workers had to clear roads in Lawrence County after strong winds overnight knocked down trees that toppled over in saturated soil.
A flood warning for the Tennessee River at Florence, located in northwest Alabama, is in effect until Feb. 20.
Parts of central Alabama have received more than 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) of rain since Tuesday, and rainfall totals in excess of 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) were common.

Palm Beach Villas at Metro Park unveils Panglao Tower
More families can look forward to a happy home near Manila Bay as Horizon Land, a subsidiary of real estate developer Federal Land, launches the second residential tower of Palm Beach Villas located in the Bay City's Metro Park.
Homebuddy: Panglao Tower offers an exciting neighborhood
The 18-story Panglao Tower—together with the earlier launched Boracay Tower—comprises the resort-style condominium community that promises more fun to residents. It offers studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units amid an amenity-filled neighborhood that is conveniently so close to everything the family needs in the city.
HomeComing: More fun in Palm Beach Villas
The towers are named after some of the country's popular tourist destinations as Palm Beach Villas truly replicate each island paradise's unique ambience and atmosphere. Palm Beach Villas is a virtual vacation home, with refreshingly elegant lobbies and reception areas to welcome residents and guests on their daily leisure experience. The L-shaped towers simulate a cove, within which are amenities such as a lap pool, a kiddie pool, landscaped garden, al fresco dining area and playground. Boracay Tower hosts a function room while Panglao Tower houses the fitness gym/game room.
HomeCourt: Year-round staycation
With all such amenities, families can expect a lifetime of staycation. They can make that short trip to the pools and splash for a day of fun and relaxation. Palm Beach Villas also provides a play area where kids can happily slide and swing with their playmates. After a tiresome swim and indoor or outdoor games, the family can regroup and reenergize by feasting on home-cooked meals at the al fresco dining area.
HomeBase: Happiness at home
Panglao Tower's units are ideal for singles looking for a place of their own or for start-up families. With a satisfactory size complemented by a balcony giving a good view of the community, the Bay City and the sunset, every homecoming at Palm Beach Villas is surely filled with happiness.
HomeConnect: Connected family
Inside the home, the family is sure to bond more not only while dining or watching TV together. Each unit comes ready with a TelPad, which PLDT Home touts as the world's first telephone-and-tablet-in-one. The TelPad adds the joy of sharing photos or chatting with friends and family from one room to another room, from home to the lounge areas served by Wi-Fi, and from Palm Beach Villas to the rest of the country and the world right from the comfort of your home.
HomeCenter: At the center of everything
The Bay City, which hosts the Metro Park where Palm Beach Villas is located is more fun already being an emerging CBD. But the fun is expected to increase at the already popular destination, residence and investment location as there are plans to improve its accessibility. One of these plans is the construction of a mass transit system loop that will connect the fast-developing CBDs of Bonifacio Global City, Makati and the Bay Area of Pasay City.
What's more, living within the masterplanned Metro Park provides priceless access to a myriad of other lifestyle and entertainment options right within the vicinity, such as the retail and dining destination Blue Bay Walk, events venue Le Parc and the Blue Wave complex. Immediately outside its main boundaries—EDSA, Macapagal Boulevard, and Roxas Boulevard—are other recreational hubs, the Manila Tytana Colleges and business process outsourcing (BPO) buildings like the Metropolitan Technological Park Building. Transportation centers and international and domestic airports are also just a few minutes away.
HomeCare: Homemade happiness for the family
A family can own a blissful home from Horizon Land, which caters to middle income homebuyers, as Panglao Tower's studio and 1-bedroom units are affordable starting at P11,500 per month.
The value of one's property at Palm Beach Villas comes with convenience, safety and comfort, given features and services such as 24/7 security, fire detection alarm system, automatic fire suppression system, three passenger elevators, stand-by power generator, podium parking, mailboxes and ground floor shops. Property and rent management staff will also be on hand to help residents maintain their units.
Palm Beach Villas is located in a flood-free central business park of the bay area. Its flood control system is effective during heavy rains so there is no worry of wading or driving in floodwater.
The Panglao Tower is estimated to be completed in December 2018.
With more choices for recreation and enjoyment at Palm Beach Villas and just about everything the family needs outside the community plus the exciting future developments that will transform the township of Metro Park, Palm Beach Villas truly makes for a happy home by the bayside. For more information visit its showroom located at the ground floor of the Royal Palm Tower at the Bay Garden Club and Residences, Metro Park in Pasay City; or call 225 6848 or (0937) 371 8170.

The following is a press release courtesy of the University of Idaho:
Twelve swimmers and divers from across the country as well as Australia have signed letters-of-intent to compete for the University of Idaho Swimming and Diving team.
Katherin Pope, a diver from Post Falls, is the only signee from Idaho. She is a former nationally ranked level 10 gymnast. Coach Mark Sowa said the transition to the diving board should be seamless for her.
This class consists of three signees from Washington – Christine Renzini, a swimmer from Colbert, Wash.; Faith Barr from Spokane, Wash., and Hailey Kessler from Federal Way, Wash.
Renzini, a distance swimmer, comes to campus after a breakthrough year in high school. She already has times faster than the Idaho school record in the 1,000 and 1,650 freestyle events.
"She should help turn one of our weaknesses into a strength," Sowa said.
Barr competed in the breaststroke and distance events in high school and has been making huge strides to be ready for the Vandals.
"When I saw Faith race this past summer, I knew that we had to try to make her a Vandal," Sowa said. "Faith has a really bright future."
Kessler, a diver from Auburn High School, was a Washington High School state champion in the 1-meter dive.
"We are very excited about signing Hailey," Sowa said. "She is a strong athlete and has great fundamentals for the sport across all boards."
Cara Jernigan, a swimmer out of Kealakehe High School in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i, comes to the Vandals after a great senior year. She holds the Hawai`i High School record in the 100 breaststroke with a time that would have placed in the top three in the Western Athletic Conference last season. She recently has been selected to represent Hawaiian swimming in New Zealand at the Oceania Swimming Championships.
Delaney Boulo is a distance and individual medley swimmer out of Apex High School at Apex, N.C. Her high school times in the 400 IM and 1650 free would have placed in WAC last season.
"Delaney is from one of the best club programs in North Carolina and should make an immediate impact in our distance events as well as the 400 IM," Sowa said.
Alexandria Magrino is a backstroke and IM swimmer out of Dr. Phillips High School Ocoee in Florida. Sowa describes her as a talented competitior with a great deal of upside in her backstroke events.
Taylor Falk joins the Vandals as a butterfly and distance swimmer out of Batavia High School in Batavia, Ill.. She competed in the same club as Megan Venlos when she was in high school.
"Her 200 fly is going to make an immediate impact for us and we are excited to see how her distance events will improve as well," Sowa said.
Cambridge Guerrero joins the Vandals from Cimerron Memorial High Schoolat Las Vegas, Nev. She competes in the backstroke and IM events.
Georgi York is the only international athlete in the class and comes from Mudgee High School in New South Wales, Australia. Sowa said she has great raw speed that will transfer well to collegiate short course competition.
"We hope that she will add to our sprinters and challenge for spots on our relays," Sowa said.
Nikki Imanaka, a diver from James B. Caste High School at Kaneohe, Hawai`i, joins the Vandals after a great senior season. She was the state champion in the 1-meter dive and has put up great numbers on all of the boards.
Last, but not least, is Maren Seljevold, a diver from Moorhead High Schoolat Moorhead, Minn. Sowa said she has a great athletic background but is fairly new to diving.
"We have once again proven that becoming a Vandal is something that is truly special and exciting for swimmers and divers across the nation as well as simply in the region," Sowa said. "We have addressed a lot of our needs from both the distance side of our program and to graduation of three excellent divers. Most importantly, these dozen young ladies are awesome people, great students, and should make the entire Vandal community better. Our future is bright."

Mayflower delivers anti-jam antenna systems to U.S. Air Force
February 5, 2018 - By Tracy Cozzens
Mayflower Communications Company has delivered its Multi-Platform Anti-Jam GPS Navigation Antenna–Federated (MAGNA-F) to the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) in August 2017.
Mayflower's MAGNA-F anti-jam antenna system.
Mayflowers' GPS anti-jam system (MAGNA) provides protection for multiple military GPS receiver types (C/A and SAASM). The AFSOC platform has been proven in an operational environment.
MAGNA-F can provide protected GPS signals to different receivers simultaneously. It protects critical mission systems on the platform and provides unwavering position, navigation and timing (PNT).
The MAGNA-F system provides the fixed-wing platform with unsurpassed high-performance anti-jam capability.
"The MAGNA-F is easy to install as a drop in FRPA replacement, provides high-performance GPS anti-jam, and is very reliable," said Joe Thomas, director of government programs for Mayflower.
The integration and testing of the MAGNA-F began in late January and February of 2017 and was led by the U.S. AFSOC Program Team at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
The flight testing proved the Mayflower MAGNA-F provides the highest level of PNT assurance for size, weight and performance (SWaP) constrained fixed-wing and UAS platforms.
The MAGNA-F is built on an open systems architecture and can be used with multiple military or civilian GPS receivers.
The MAGNA-F enables growth capabilities across a variety SWaP constrained platforms including rotary wing, fixed wing, and small to large unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The MAGNA AJ systems are also adaptable for U.S. Army ground vehicle AJAS requirements.
Over the past five years, Mayflower has delivered anti-jam systems across multiple aircraft (fixed wing, UAS) and U.S. Navy strategic-level submarine platforms.
The Mayflower family of anti-jam systems have a wealth of military live tests (flight and ground) and "real-world" operational experience. The Mayflower SAS (NavGuard 500), SAGE (NavGuard 501) and MAGNA-F (NavGuard 502) assures a Technology Readiness Level (TRL 8/9) product. Each of these systems are software upgradable with capabilities such as direction of arrival, jammer characterization, and operational with U.S. Army pseudolites.
