Gemeindegliederung

Es gibt 152 Gemeindeteile:

Geschichte

Bis zur Gemeindegründung
Eine erste Erwähnung findet der Ort um das Jahr 1000. 1308 wird Vilsbiburg erstmals als Markt und gleichzeitig Stadt benannt, hatte damals also schon sowohl Markt- als auch Stadtrechte. Nach 1340 blieb nur noch die Bezeichnung Markt bestehen. 1648 fiel mehr als die Hälfte der Bevölkerung der Pest zum Opfer. 1760 wurde die Verwaltung des Pflegamts Geisenhausen auf Vilsbiburg übertragen. Es gehörte zum Rentamt Landshut des Kurfürstentums Bayern und besaß ein Marktgericht mit magistratischen Eigenrechten. 1803 erhielt es einen Teil des Landgerichts Teisbach mit Frontenhausen. Im Zuge der Verwaltungsreformen in Bayern entstand mit dem Gemeindeedikt von 1818 die heutige Gemeinde.

Herkunft des Ortsnamens
Erstmals wird der Ort zwischen 990 und 1000 als Pipurch erwähnt, vor 1253 als Vilspiburch. "Biburg" ist eine alte häufig vorkommende Bezeichnung für "umwallte Burg", dieser Bezeichnung wurde später – zur Unterscheidung von anderen ähnlich benannten Anlagen – der Flussname "Vils" hinzugesetzt. Woher der Name "Vils" kommt, ist nicht ganz klar, als Deutung wird auf indogermanisch *pel-, was so viel heißt wie "gießen, fließen" angeführt, aber auch auf westgermanisch *felu-, was so viel wie "Sumpf" bedeutet.

19. und 20. Jahrhundert
1862 wurden aus dem Landgericht Vilsbiburg das Amtsgericht, Bezirksamt und Notariat. Seither prägten mehrere Textilbetriebe Vilsbiburg, was zu einem starken Bevölkerungswachstum führte. 1864 wurde die mechanische Weberei und Wäschefabrik Carl Zollner gegründet. 1919 entstand die mechanische Weberei und Wäschefabrik E. Siegelin.

1929 wurde die Marktgemeinde Vilsbiburg offiziell zur Stadt erhoben. 1950 ließ sich die ursprünglich aus Eger stammende Gebr. Seiler Kammgarnspinnerei und Textilwerk in Vilsbiburg nieder. In den 1950er Jahren kam das Werk der Firma Rank & Sohn hinzu, 1963 nahm die Firma Hudson ihre Produktion in Vilsbiburg auf.

In diese Zeit fallen auch die Ansiedlungen der heute größten Industriebetriebe Vilsbiburgs: Flottweg nahm seinen Produktionsstandort 1943 in Betrieb, Dräxlmaier wurde 1958 gegründet und Hiller entstand 1971.

Bei der Gebietsreform in Bayern am 1. Juli 1972 wurde der Landkreis Vilsbiburg beinahe zur Gänze dem Landkreis Landshut zugeordnet.

Eingemeindungen
Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern wurden am 1. Juli 1972 aus der aufgelösten Gemeinde Bergham die Orte Baumgarten, Dasching, Falkenberg, Frauenau, Goldbrunn, Lernbuch, Lofeneck, Oed, Rieberseck, Rombach, Stadel, Stadelöd und Wald eingegliedert. Am 1. Mai 1978 wurden die Gemeinden Frauensattling, Gaindorf, Haarbach und Seyboldsdorf sowie große Teile der Gemeinde Wolferding nach Vilsbiburg eingemeindet.

Religionen
Bekannt ist Vilsbiburg durch die katholische Wallfahrtskirche Maria Hilf am südlichen Ortsausgang, die sich aus einer Kapelle vom Jahr 1686 entwickelte, in welcher ein Maria-Hilf-Gnadenbild verehrt wird. Zusätzlich malte in dem Klosterkomplex der bayerische Redemptorist Max Schmalzl 1872 eine Kopie des berühmten römischen Gnadenbildes "Unserer Lieben Frau von der immerwährenden Hilfe", was der örtlichen Marienverehrung noch weiteren Auftrieb gab. So entstand eine überregional bekannte "Maria-Hilf-Wallfahrt", die nach dem Weggang der Redemptoristen vor allem durch die Kapuziner gefördert wurde.

Die imposante Stadtpfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt befindet sich einige hundert Meter nordöstlich des Stadtplatzes. Sie wurde im 15. Jahrhundert im spätgotischen Stil erbaut und ist dank ihres 75 Meter hohen Zwiebelturms weithin sichtbar.

Die evangelische Christuskirche wurde im Jahr 1958 erbaut. Ihre Glasfenster stellen die sieben Ich-Bin-Worte Jesu dar.

Einwohner
Gemäß Bayerischem Landesamt für Statistik  haben sich die Einwohnerzahlen jeweils zum 31. Dezember eines Jahres wie folgt entwickelt:

Seit 1972, dem Jahr der Gemeindereform, hat sich die Einwohnerzahl bis 2015 um 2004 Personen erhöht. Das entspricht einem Wachstum von 18,93 Prozent. In den letzten zehn Jahren schrumpfte sie um 0,13 Prozent. In den letzten fünf Jahren ist aber ein Wachstum um 3,84 Prozent festzustellen.

Im Zeitraum 1988 bis 2019 stieg die Einwohnerzahl von 10.034 auf 12.203 um 2.169 Einwohner bzw. um 21,6 %.

If you haven't begun to integrate AI into your law firm's marketing strategy, make it a priority in the coming year. Despite all the hype, it's still the early days of the artificial intelligence boom, and you'll gain a distinct advantage over the competition by becoming an early adopter.
Artificial intelligence marketing leverages customer data and machine learning to automate and elevate your marketing strategy. While many of the creative elements of marketing are still best handled by humans, some can be completely carried out through databases, algorithms, and deep learning.
AI is already being used to support lawyers in research activities, analytics, litigation forecasting, and even document automation. In much the same way, artificial intelligence can handle the capture and analysis of customer data, predictive forecasting of customer behavior, and some marketing content automation on law firms' websites.
AI can take customer segmentation to a level that no human marketer is logistically capable of. While marketers can draw up a general overview of your customer segments at any given time, AI can segment your site visitors in real time, mapping each individual customer's journey. This dynamic micro-segmentation paired with predictive algorithms creates an optimal customer experience for each visitor to your website.
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming more adept at anticipating human behavior than humans are. AI predictive analytics can assess customer's past and current behavior patterns and predict their motivations, needs, and future actions. All of these insights can be used to supercharge targeted marketing campaigns and personalize the experience of individual site users.
Deep learning architecture uses layers of artificial "neural networks" to mimic the activities of the human brain. Like the human brain, deep learning works on a trial-and-error basis, but much more rapidly. Using deep learning, AI can process and analyze enormous quantities of customer data without human operators. This capacity empowers legal marketers to respond quickly to changing trends and customer expectations and to continually optimize marketing campaigns.
Like many traditional business sectors, law firms have been slow to adopt AI as part of their marketing strategies. There's a steep learning curve that most busy firms simply don't have the time to undertake. Morgan & Co. has been steeped in data analytics and intelligent marketing for years, and we've worked with diverse industries to make the most of cutting-edge tools and strategies.

The NDP and the SPP
Unfortunately, by the time this paper is published, Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper will already be engaged in a new round of secret talks on the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) in Montebello, Quebec with U.S. President George Bush and Mexican president Felipe Calderon.
Since this meeting was announced in June, my constituents have been letting me know through increased calls, e-mails, letters and personal contacts about their grave concerns about the SPP and its implications for Canadian sovereignty. I share those concerns, as does the rest of the NDP caucus and our leader Jack Layton. That's why we've consistently and clearly opposed the SPP since it was announced by then Prime Minister Paul Martin in the spring of 2005.
According to its boosters, the SPP is simply a commitment to greater cooperation among Canada, the US and Mexico, with the aim of increasing our mutual security and prosperity. Is that all there is to it? Not likely. Thanks to leaked documents and hard investigative work by the NDP and groups such as the Council of Canadians and Canadian Labour Congress, it's become clear that the SPP is just the latest version of the deep integrationist agenda we've too often had pushed on us by right-wing governments and multinational corporations.
The mainstream media does not often cover the NDP's efforts to expose and oppose this agenda, so I'd like to outline some of them here:
In June 2005, NDP trade critic Peter Julian put our party's SPP position on the official record, saying in the House of Commons, "maintaining Canada's cultural diversity and strength is not negotiable. Maintaining social services that are integral to the lives of all Canadians cannot be traded away. Maintaining Canada as a free and sovereign nation is fundamental to our future…. The NDP will fight this threat to our nation with all our heart and all our soul."
And so we have. United as a caucus we have continued to press the often secretive Conservative government for transparency and full disclosure on the SPP. Last fall, after Conservative cabinet ministers and government officials from Canada, US and Mexico quietly met with North America's top executives behind closed doors in Banff, we spoke out together with the Canadian Labour Congress and the civil society group Common Frontiers. Peter affirmed our commitment to uncover the secret negotiations and again raised the alarm, saying: "What this means for Canada is lower standards and quality of life in many areas, such as food security, air safety, environmental norms, health care and labour rights. It's a recipe for lowering standards in our country."
In February 2007, when Mexican and US officials visited Ottawa for another SPP meeting, we upped the pressure again, using the NDP's time in Question Period to draw media attention to the issue, and publicly calling for the Harper government to pull out of further talks on continental integration. We condemned the sellout of Canada and put the Conservatives on the defensive. As Peter said, "Canadian sovereignty is not for sale to the highest bidder and the federal government has no authority to push for a North American Union without a mandate from Canadians."
In March, the NDP again brought attention to the subject by submitting a dissenting opinion to the Standing Committee on International Trade, saying its report on Canada's Trade Policy "lacks balance because it fails to represent the views of many of the progressive groups and associations that came and presented to the Committee on issues of fair trade. The perspective and hard work of groups such as trade unions, associations for fair trade, experts and economists, who in total represent millions of Canadians and hundreds of thousands of workers is ignored."
Probably our most significant victory so far was in April, when we forced the first ever parliamentary hearings on the SPP, including three days that were televised. The hearings took place at the Standing Committee on International Trade, and the transcripts are now online. See here .
While only a first step, securing these hearings was a significant victory. It's also one that would never have happened without the efforts of our NDP caucus, because we have been the only party in Parliament to consistently oppose the deep integration agenda. Despite the Conservatives' attempts to derail the hearings (with the help of their manual of obstructionist, anti-democratic tactics), we still succeeded in airing important questions and information about the threat the SPP poses to our energy and water security, drug policies, and labour standards, among other topics. Those concerns are now part of the official public record. We asked experts from the Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and the Council of Canadians to present at the hearings and they provided some welcome and necessary balance to evidence given by business and industry groups.
Meanwhile our caucus has also been continuing to collaborate with our friends in the labour movement and civil society groups. Earlier this summer we were appalled by the curtailment of these groups' freedom of speech when the government made it impossible for them to organize a peaceful public forum in Papineau Quebec, in conjuction with the nearby SPP meetings this August. In support of them we registered an official objection with Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day. Peter will be representing our caucus at a Council of Canadians public event in Ottawa during the Montebello meetings.
Most recently the NDP has submitted a motion to the International Trade Committee which we expect to be debated there in the fall. It reads, in part, that the Government of Canada should, "stop further implementation of the SPP… until there is a democratic mandate from the people of Canada, Parliamentary oversight, and consideration of its profound consequences on Canada's existence as a sovereign nation…" Our caucus has also filed numerous federal access to information requests to uncover further SPP details, and we will make the results of those public as we're able.
Our goal in all this work has been to secure a full parliamentary debate and review of this agreement. And while we've been very effectively and ably led by Peter Julian as the critic for trade, the SPP is so wide-ranging that it requires a team effort to address the various policy implications. At least a dozen members of our caucus have been involved.
One of the policy issues that particularly concerns me about the SPP is the regulation of pesticides. During my time as a city councillor and board member of the Capital Regional District, as well as MP, I've worked to enact bans on the cosmetic use of pesticides because of my concerns about the unnecessary health risks these toxins pose. But in a 2006 SPP report, stricter residue limits were identified as a barrier to trade. If the SPP proceeds will we be forced to accept weaker pesticide regulations for the sake of harmonization with the US. We know that US pesticide limits are frequently higher than the ones in place in Canada's or European Union countries so clearly, this is not the direction we should be headed. The worthwhile goal of increasing trade should not override the obvious risks to human, environmental and animal health. This is just one of the many reasons I'm so concerned about the SPP.
Thankfully, we are now seeing a new level of awareness about the SPP and the threat it poses. The NDP, along with its labour and civil society partners, has been a vital part of creating that awareness. There is much more to do, and we will continue to play a significant role in this fight, including when we return to Parliament in the fall. As a New Democrat you should know that the caucus you elected is aware of the dangers posed by the SPP and is working hard to expose and defeat Harper's pro-corporate and deep-integrationist agenda.

Refugees Who Lost Their Fingers Thank God For the Prosthetics Science Created May 25, 2018 David Gee
Refugees Who Lost Their Fingers Thank God For the Prosthetics Science Created
Two men from Ghana were turned away by refugee centers in the U.S., forcing them to make the cold trek to Canada. That walk (yes, they walked) exposed them to frostbite, which caused them to lose all their fingers, but now they say God has answered their prayers through prosthetic replacements.
Seidu Mohammed and Razak Iyal, asylum seekers who haven't been able to perform basic tasks for more than a year, now have prosthetic hands that help them function. That's certainly great news, but it's also important to understand that scientists and doctors are responsible for that, not God.
That's not the way these two men see it, though. Mohammed, speaking on behalf of both men, hailed their new functioning hands as a testament to the power of prayer.
"We've been praying for it and God has answered our prayers and things are getting better always every day," said Mohammed Tuesday afternoon. Just hours earlier, he said, he had dropped change on the bus and couldn't pick it up.
Tuesday was the first time he used his new prosthetic hands — called M-Fingers — which bend when a patient flexes his or her wrist. The moment brought tears to at least one person in the room.
To be clear, I hold no ill will again these men. Their ordeal sounds horrifying, and I can understand why they would look to religion and spirituality to get them through it. They can thank whomever they want for their recovery.
The rest of us, though, should understand that these marvels of medicine — while incredible — weren't just handed to us on a silver platter from a divine deity. Scientists and doctors worked very hard to create these prosthetics.
Fortunately, these two admirable men actually did take the time to thank those who paid for their prosthetics, including the local hospital.
Both men said they wanted to thank Manitoba Health, which covered the cost of the prosthetic hands — about $10,000 a hand.
"We are very, very grateful for everything that they do for us," said Iyal.
Okay, so they're not mentioning the scientists, but I'll take it. I wish more religious people could do the same thing: Thank your god if you want, but don't forget to recognize the people who worked to make your life better.

Figure 1. Exponential Hermite Snake at initialization.
Figure 2. Exponential Hermite Snake after convergence.
This software implements an active contour (a.k.a snake) constructed with new exponential B-splines inspired from the cubic Hermite splines. It provides a direct control over the tangents of the parameterized contour, which is absent in traditional spline-based active contours. The new basis functions have been designed to perfectly reproduce elliptical and circular shapes, which makes the model well-suited to outlining blob-like objects.
V. Uhlmann, R. Delgado-Gonzalo, C. Conti, L. Romani, M. Unser, "Exponential Hermite Splines for the Analysis of Biomedical Images," to be presented at the 39th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP'14), Florence, Italy, May 4-9, 2014.
We introduce a class of active contours built using a novel kind of exponential B-spline basis functions. The snakes family that stems from them have two main features that make it well-suited to the analysis of bioimages. Firstly, it is built using two complementary basis functions, a construction inspired from Hermite interpolation that grants direct control both on the curve and on its tangent field. Secondly, it has ellipse-reproducing capabilities. Our model actually uses the shortest possible functions that have the Hermite property, satisfy the partition of unity, and reproduce ellipses.
Active contour algorithms consist of two steps. The snake is first initialized by the user, and then the curve is made to evolve on the image through the optimization of a cost functional (or snake energy). In the present example, the snake energy can be tuned to be attracted to edges or ridges.
To install the plugin download the ExpHSnake.jar file and put it in the plugins folder of ImageJ (ImageJ/plugins/). The Exponential Hermite Snake plugin also requires some external libraries that have been regrouped in the following archive file. The archive should be uncompressed, and the elements it contains should be placed into the jars folder of the plugins folder of ImageJ (ImageJ/plugins/jars/).
Figure 3. ExpHSnake settings window and open image.
If a ROI is present in the image, the Exponential Hermite Snake will try to use it as a initialization. Otherwise, the snake is initialized as a circle with evenly spaced anchor points in the center of the image.
The Exponential Hermite Snake can then be manipulated thanks to a revised set of tools from ImageJ's toolbar, which we discuss below. ImageJ's toolbar is restored as soon as the Exponential Hermite Snake Snake dies or is killed.
To select a point, click anywhere in the image. The point closest to where you clicked will be highlighted. To move points, drag within the image. The point closest to where you clicked will be moved to the position where you release the mouse. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard arrow keys to get a finer control over the position of the points; for this to work, the image window must be frontmost. The latter manipulations are possible with anchor points on the curve as well as with tangential controls. Note: in any case, it is not possible to interactively move a point outside of the image frame.
Figure 8. Tool to launch the optimization.
Figure 9. Available tools during snake optimization.
The 'stop' button (a black square) is used to manually abort the optimization. If hit, the resulting snake will be returned in the state where it achieved the most favorable configuration so far during the course of optimization. If left to its own devices, the snake will converge to some (possibly local) optimum.
Figure 11. Tool to leave the ExpHSnake plug-in and adding the ROI to the ROI Manager.
This tool is used to gracefully return to ImageJ adding the ROI to the ROI Manager if selected in the settings windows.
Figure 12. Tool to leave the ExpHSnake plug-in without adding the ROI to the ROI Manager.
Like the previous one, this tool is used to return to ImageJ, but without adding the ROI to the ROI Manager.


Exomotive is proud to announce a collaboration between James Hayward, the gentleman responsible for bringing Kit Car content to the Autosport International UK show, and Team MEV to run the Exocet Lightweight in selected Time Attack rounds throughout this season. With Adam Wilkins of Complete Kit Car Magazine running the car in a few rounds of the 750MC Sports Specials, it makes perfect sense to introduce the car to the Club NA Class of the Time Attack series.
After a full day of testing in the pouring rain last friday to give the car a thorough shakedown, James reported that the car is running sweet as a nut and is VERY, VERY quick. Based on the excellent power to weight ratio of the Lightweight Exocet, he believes they have a good chance of winning!
Be sure to come out to Brands Hatch on July 8th to support Team MEV as we attack this new series. As always, we could not have done this without massive help from our sponsors that have made this possible. A big thanks go out to Mills Extreme Vehicles, OMEX, SuperPro, Gaz Shocks, Auto Finesse, FatFish Motorsport, Nicholas Horne Photography and Complete Kit Car Magazine.

Educating for reproductive health
Myths and misinformation: Educating for sexual and reproductive health.
Rural women participating in the workshop
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), sexual and reproductive health is understood as a general state of physical, mental and social well-being. It is related to the reproductive system, entails the ability to enjoy a satisfactory sexual life without risk, to procreate, and have the freedom to decide if, when, and how often.
To maintain sexual and reproductive health, people need access to accurate information and a contraceptive method of choice that is safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable. They must be informed and empowered to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections. And when they decide to have children, women must be able to receive care from health professionals, experts and must have access to services that help them have a proper pregnancy, a safe delivery and a healthy baby.
Within the framework, and during the most recent cycle of the Capacity Training Program, a new workshop entitled Reproductive Sexual Health and Education was held with the aim of providing information and guidance on STDs, provide general knowledge, forms of transmission, symptoms, prevention and resources for the treatment of infectious diseases.
Karla Tellez:
''In our community, talking about sexuality has long been a taboo subject. I have heard women who are already adults say that they had never known of condoms until years later. In the health center or in this type of training we have learned about different methods of family planning that exist. In my opinion, I think it is important that these workshops, so important for women and, adolescents, be brought to our communities today''.
The educational system in rural schools of Nicaragua are generally deficient and do not have a specific subject where sexuality is included as part of the curriculum. Not knowing about aspects of sexuality leaves adolescents vulnerable to starting an early sexual life, translating into early pregnancy, risks of sexually transmitted infections and in the worst case, HIV.
We also know that the majority of adolescent mothers do not finish their secondary or university studies, and have 30 percent less income than women who become mothers after adolescence.
''Thanks to ViviendasLeón for bringing us all these informative pamphlets, so that women know more about our bodies, know how to prevent some infectious diseases and educate our sons and daughters to know that talking about health is talking about our lives and our bodies''.
ViviendasLeon considers that sexual health education is a component of personality and we cannot speak of health education and community empowerment if we do not include the approach to sex education since it is an essential and vital component in people's lives.

An Interview with HCT Coordinator, Cris Rojás
"I first liked social work because in my community I saw the difficulties and lack of resources within the school system. Another challenge was the distance (from residents' homes to school) that limits good attendance in the school. I always dreamed of having knowledge in helping communities…to contribute to helping the poor especially in the city of León"

A data logger is an electronic device or instrument that records data over a period of time. It allows the user to record time or location stamped data which can be viewed at a later time or real time.
Irrespective of the type of data being logged or the kind of data logger, these devices usually contain two main units, the sensor unit and the storage/communication unit. The sensor unit may involve the use of an external instrument or a sensor embedded within the device. Increasingly, but not entirely, data logging devices are becoming more based on micro processors and microcontrollers, which has opened up a whole new level of data gathering and storage.
For today's tutorial, our focus will be on building an Arduino based data logger that reads the temperature of the environment every few minutes and saves the data in a micro sd card.
The Project is based on the Arduino nano and the DS3231 RTC Module which has a temperature sensor and a real time clock on board.
Connect the components as shown in the circuit diagram below.
The data logger is made up of the Arduino Nano, the Ds3231 RTC Module, and a micro SD card module. The micro SD card module communicates with the Arduino over SPI as explained in a detailed tutorial here, while the DS3231 module communicates with the Arduino over I2C. A detailed tutorial on the DS3231 module can also be found here.
To simplify the connection further, a pin map of the connections in the schematics is done below.
With the connections all done, we can then move to write the code for this project.
To better understand this project, it is advised that you take a look at two of our previous projects that talked about DS3231 RTC module, and the Micro SD card module.
To jump into writing the code, its important before proceeding to totally understand what you want it to do. For this project we will measure temperature, and storing the data alongside the time at which it was read, delimited by comma, in a text file on a SD card. The goal will be to remove the card after a while and insert it into a computer, to import the data into Microsoft's Excel software to plot and perform other analysis on the data.
As usual, the first thing we do in our code is to include the libraries that will be used. For this project, we will be using the rtc_ds3231 library attached in the zip file which is available in the download section of this post, the wire.h library, the SD.h library, and the SPI.h library.
Next, we declare our variables. The first variable is the maximum buffer size BUFF_MAX 128 after which, we declare the pin to which is the Chipselect pin of our sd card module connected to the Arduino, which is D10. We next create an object file, then declare the variable to store temperature, time, and date, followed by an integer to serves as ID for the entries.
Still on declaration, we declare an array to hold time, and set the amount of milliseconds the device has to wait before logging the next data. This could help preserve the battery life of the device in the long run asides other things.
We then move to the setup function.
We start by starting serial communication and enabling wire, after which we move to initialize the SD card module followed by the DS3231 module.
Do note the quotes are not included, it was just used for explanation.
After running this code for the first time, it should be commented out before uploading to deploy the system.
With the Void Setup out of the way, we now move to the void loop() function. The void loop function majorly contains commands to get the temperature and date and save it on the sd card.
Other functions in the code are functions that were called within the void loop.
The full code for the project is given below.
Copy the code above and paste in your arduino, ensure you have the libraries and hit upload. Don't forget to set the time when you run the code for the first time.
If you follow the steps carefully, wait for few minutes then remove your sd card. If you did everything correctly, you should see something like the image below on your computer screen when the SD card opens. The amount of data stored would depend on the amount of up-time the logger had before you removed the sd card. For example, for this project, we left the device running for a day, logging data every 5-minutes and at the end of the 24 hours, we had logged over 300 data(image below).
Excel makes it super easy to plot your data and do analysis.
To generate a plot of the temperature against time for this project, open a new excel spread sheet, select data at the top, select from text, and navigate to the file on the SD card, and click OK, excel will prompt you to ask for details about the file, select delimited, then select by commas, after which excel will automatically import the data into your spread sheet.
To Plot the data after the import, select the two columns, time and temperature (by holding the ctrl key) then go to insert tab and click on insert chart. you should see the chart pop up like the image below.
That's it for this tutorial guys, I hope you learn something from it. As usual, feel free to share your questions and contributions via the comment section.
The tutorial video for this tutorial is available on youtube here.
Until Next time, Keep Making.

All 9 Victims in Kobe Bryant Helicopter Crash Identified
NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among those who died Sunday
Rosemary Rossi and Sean Burch | January 27, 2020 @ 8:10 AM
Ethan Miller/Getty Images
The identities of all nine victims who died with Kobe Bryant aboard a downed helicopter on Sunday morning have been identified by the Los Angeles Police Department and multiple reports.
Among those who lost their lives along with Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri and their daughter Alyssa, who was a club basketball teammate of Gianna's. Also aboard the helicopter was Christina Mauser, an assistant girls basketball coach at an elementary school in Orange County, California.
The remaining three passengers were identified on Monday as pilot Ara Zobayan and Sarah Chester and her daughter, Payton, 13.
Riley Chester, the son and brother of the victims, said on Instagram: "Rest In Peace to the most amazing Mother and sister. I love you Pay Pay and Mom RIP," accompanied by two heart emojis and pictures of them, per the New York Post.

Zobayan was an "instrument rated" pilot, according to KTLA 5 reporter Christina Pascucci, which "means he was rated to fly in fog/clouds." Several of Zobayan's friends have identified him as the pilot of the helicopter, per Pascucci.
The Sikorsky S-76 helicopter carrying everyone aboard was traveling to basketball practice at Bryant's Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks, California, when it went down in the nearby foggy hills west of the San Fernando Valley Sunday at about 10 a.m. PT, officials said.

The crash caused a wildfire that was contained to the Calabasas crash site, which was not near any homes or major roadways. When authorities arrived at the mountainside area, they found no survivors in the fiery wreckage.
Investigators from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner quickly arrived at the scene and personnel from DMEC's Special Operations Response Team recovered the bodies.

The site is still being preserved for federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
As of Tuesday morning, all nine bodies were recovered from the scene.
Goodbye, Kobe: Bryant's Coolest and Weirdest Off-the-Court Moments (Video)
Was it real or fake? Well, duh, of course it was fake. But everyone was asking that question for a week when Kobe released a viral video of himself jumping over an Aston Martin to promote some shoes.
The last video was so popular that Bryant did a sequel with some of the guys from "Jackass." This time, he jumped over a pool filled with snakes.
In 2008, Kobe whipped out his best Tom Cruise impression for a "Guitar Hero" commercial that parodied the famous dancing scene from "Risky Business."
In 2011, Kobe became the first athlete to leave his mark in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
This week, Kobe did a commercial with "Creed" star Michael B. Jordan in which he gives the actor tips on how to play him in a biopic. Jordan's input showed that while Kobe may be at peace with his age, he certainly doesn't want to be reminded of it.
On the other side of the Pacific, Kobe starred in a Taiwanese pop music video as part of a charity project to build basketball courts in underprivileged schools. The results were interesting to say the least.
Kobe has done countless interviews over the years, but no one has been able to get a better conversation out of him than Jimmy Kimmel. Here's a full segment that the two did together at the Nokia Theater back in 2013.

On Thursday night, American Jews will celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime holiday of Thanksgivukkah. During this month of November, the lighting of the second candle of Hanukkah and the celebration of Thanksgiving will coincide. This hasn�t happened since 1888 and it won�t happen again for another 78,000 years.
Many parodies and songs have been written to mark this unique occasion. Food connoisseurs far and wide have been creating recipes to highlight the culinary traditions of both holidays, including cranberry glazed brisket, sweet potato latkes (potato pancakes) and pumpkin-filled doughnuts (in Israel, people eat doughnuts to celebrate Hanukkah).
Throughout the eight days of Hanukkah, we recite Psalms and a prayer thanking God for the miracles, expressing gratitude to G-d for the miracle of the holiday. And although we are grateful for this wondrous miracle, we do not forget the smaller miracles wrought by God bestowed upon us every day. For me, Hanukkah celebrates how miraculous it often is just to get through the day. There are so many challenges, whether the economy or illness or even the general anxieties of life. Hanukkah is a reminder that every day is worth celebrating.
As we sit around the Thanksgiving table this year with our families and friends, let us look around the table and realize that what we have, though perhaps different or less than what we hoped for, is truly enough. May we be cognizant that both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah reflect the values of religious freedom and liberty. In our fast-paced lives, we rarely pause to reflect on the miracle of religious freedom. People of faith here in America are able to observe and practice our respective religions as we see fit.
�Coincidence,� stated Albert Einstein,� is God�s way of remaining anonymous.� Thanksgivukkah is far more than a coincidence. It is an opportunity to rethink the meaning of both holidays. We have both the calendar and God to thank for that.
May this Thanksgiving and Hanukkah � and Thanksgivukkah � be a holiday of light and gratitude for one another and for all that we cherish and hold dear. May we remind one another of the miracles that are granted to us each and every day.


Try to imagine this – your instructor is sitting in the back seat, you and a collegue are sat at the controls ready to take an 80 ton, 250mph airliner into the air with just a little back seat advice from your instructor! You will complete a full circuit of a major airport before attempting to bring the aircraft back in to land again. For more information read below.
Upon arrival you will be met by one of our fully qualified, commercial pilot instructors. Over refreshments they will give your group a brief overview of how the session works a safety briefing followed by a more in-depth 20 minute briefing on how to fly the Boeing 737 800 aircraft, hopefully with crashing or getting lost! You will also have a chance to select from over 24,000 airports around the world that you want the virtual session to be based at. Some favourites are, JFK, Hong Kong Kai Tak, London Heathrow, Las Vegas and Dubai, but the choice is yours.
Although not compulsory we always find the best sessions are those with a bit of friendly competition. Our instructors mark each pilot on such criteria as, accuracy, not getting lost and being able to land on the runway. At the end of the session the marks are tallied up and a small prize if presented by our instructor.
If a member of your group has some real flying experience you should inform the instructor who will add a handicap based on experience to keep it all fair.
To give each pilot the maximum time at the controls the instructor now sits in the jump seat which is directly behind the captains seat where he will offer gentle advise! Each pilot then gets a chance to both fly as pilot in control as well as co pilot, or navigator where they will help operate the many buttons and levers needed to operate the Boeing 737 as well as help the pilot flying not to get lost. This means two people in the group are in the front of the aircraft at any one time giving maximum time at the controls.
Shoreham, Manchester and Sywell simulators have mock cabins so you can relax in a real aircraft environment, perhaps you can even get your boss to act as cabin crew and supply the coffees on our real cabin trolleys…!
Films are usually £25.00 but for group bookings this is reduced to £20 per film for those that want a keep sake of their epic flight.
This simply MUST HAVE Addition to your experience producing a keep sake you will spend hours watching and re watching, time and again! We have positioned 3 HD cameras in our cockpit to capture every second of your flight experience. From the moment you strap yourself in we start recording from 3 different angles.
Rearward Facing – to capture your expressions throughout the experience.
Our headsets also capture every sound and discussion held in the cockpit.
At the end of the session you will receive a USB drive in our branded gift wallet to immediately take away.
THIS IS A SIMPLY MUST HAVE ADD-ON !
Ever wondered how to start and prepare an airliner for departure? Or want to taxi to the runway? For just £25.00 extra you can add this MUST HAVE 15 minute add-on to your session and really get that full airline experience.
Once your briefing is complete you will enter the cockpit to find it completely shutdown and parked at the Gate – or cold and dark as we describe it, this is how real pilots find it when they turn up for the first flight of the day. Guided by your instructor you will slowly bring the aircraft to life, you will follow real world checklists, program the flight computer and prepare the aircraft for flight. You will then be pushed back from the gate, start the engines and configure the cockpit for taxi. With both engines started and the pushback truck out of the way you will taxi the aircraft to the holding point at the runway. With final checks complete and lined up on the runway you are ready for your session time to begin.
This add on is a MUST HAVE addition to all our flight simulator experiences. The level of realism this adds cannot be underestimated totally immersing you in the world of the big jet pilot.


Wheal Owles Mine (pronounced 'Oals') lies on the cliffs on the north coast of Cornwall, adjoining Botallack Mine in the St. Just mining area of Penwith.
Wheal Owles was an amalgamation of several smaller and more ancient mines including Wheal Drea, Wheal Edward and Wheal Gendall. There is known to have been a mine in this general area from the 1700's but Wheal Owles' best years were during the decade 1860-70.
By the late 19th Century work was concentrated on the West Wheal Owles or Cargodna section.
On January 10, 1893, around 40 miners were working in the undersea level of Wheal Owles and some 400 feet below adit level. They accidentally holed into the flooded old workings of Wheal Drea Mine due to errors on existing plans. The miners thought that they were about 40 yards away and quite safe from breaking into the workings of the old mine but were tragically mistaken. They holed into the workings of Wheal Drea at a depth of some 900 feet (148 fathoms) below the surface. The head pressure on this volume of water must have been enormous and the sea thundered into Wheal Owles trapping over 30 men. There were some heroic deeds on that day and some miners were saved by quick thinking of their colleagues but 19 miners and one mine boy were lost.
In 1993 a commemorative plaque was erected as a memorial to those miners lost in the disaster. It proved impossible to recover the bodies and they remain in the flooded workings to this day. The mine closed following the disaster.
In the 1990s the buildings were conserved and consolidated and the mine has appeared briefly in the 1970s and more extensively in the 2015/16 BBC TV / Mammoth Screen Poldark drama series based on the novels of Winston Graham.

The Forests Dialogue Scopes Climate Positive Forest Products (CPFPs)
By Sara Santiago '19 MF
Climate Positive Forest Products (CPFP). This is a bit of a mouthful, requiring some thought as to what these products might be and how they may or may not curb climate change. What comes to mind? For The Forests Dialogue (TFD), "mass timber," short for massive timber, is one type of CPFP with a lot of potential. A relatively new class of building materials, mass timber refers to technology where smaller pieces of wood are combined to form larger, often structural, components of a building. Mass timber has the potential to provide net climate benefits through carbon sequestration, to store carbon in wood biomass, and to deliver carbon substitution benefits through avoided emissions. The ultimate goal is to use CPFPs as a significant climate change mitigation solution, yet, what does an increased demand for mass timber materials mean for the world's forests and forest-dwelling peoples?
Like tree sap, this concept and the science around it are sticky, with both proponents and skeptics. However, The Forests Dialogue – a center housed at The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment (YSE) with 20 years of experience in convening multi-stakeholder dialogues in the forests sector– situates itself and thrives in these sticky, grey areas of potential conflict in search of shared solutions.
In 2020, the TFD Steering Committee launched the Climate Positive Forest Products Initiative(link is external). In April and May 2021, TFD held a virtual scoping dialogue over three sessions as a first step to suss out the main issues around mass timber and the "fracture lines," or areas of conflict, related to forest products as a climate change mitigation tool. This initiative folds into previous discussions on the intersection of forests and climate with a new spin and context – the desire for this dialogue originated from the building sector, asking how could mass timber work to decarbonize the building sector?
The scoping dialogue was jointly planned by TFD and the World Resources Institute (WRI) in collaboration with the Climate Smart Forest Economy Program (CSFEP), which in its own right is a partnership between WRI, the World Economic Forum, Climate-KIC, and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). The dialogue brought together over 60 stakeholders from NGOs, timber and manufacturing companies, government and sub-national entities, academia, and construction and architecture firms. Proponents of CPFPs draw upon the research of Chukina et al. (2020) and Chen et al. (2019). They are eager to store carbon in building materials and to meet the expected construction demands of India, Brazil, China, and regions of Africa with building materials that have lower associated carbon emissions than traditional building materials like steel and concrete. Meanwhile, others would prefer to dedicate energy to thinking about how to stop cutting forests as a climate solution, rather than developing more wood products.
In its first virtual – yet highly engaging – scoping dialogue, TFD and trained student rapporteurs facilitated discussion amongst stakeholders "to share current activities, agree on knowledge gaps, identify areas of disagreement, and build collaboration to align future actions." As outputs in the coming weeks, we anticipate seeing a background paper on current knowledge and gaps, an official meeting summary by the dialogue co-chairs, and identification of future collaborative research efforts to inform knowledge, themes, and key-regions where future dialogues should be focused.
Moving forward, looking back is inevitable. This scoping dialogue is reminiscent of TFD's beginnings 20 years ago during the conflicts of the timber and certification wars. Executive Director Gary Dunning '96 MF, who has been with TFD since its inception, reflects: "Initially, in the '90s, the forest sector was fighting internally about what sustainable forestry looks like. Now, the forest sector is being approached from the outside by designers, architects, and engineers who are asking how to use wood sustainably."
Many stakeholders from that time are involved in the scoping CPFPs now, drawing upon memories and lessons learned of from then to avoid recreating the same friction and conflicts, in order to deliberately move toward long-term goals on forests and climate. Dunning discussed this with participants and concluded: "While some things change, some things stay the same. We are still pondering what sustainable forestry looks like but now under climate amelioration. We don't yet have a unified answer and still need dialogue!

Discover Hamburg's best neighborhoods
The different districts of Hamburg and their characteristics
In order to find the right property in Hamburg, it makes sense to know the different districts and to know which locations are available in the individual neighborhoods. Hamburg is varied and colorful. Depending on where you stay, the city has both a metropolitan character and quiet, nature-oriented residential areas. In the districts in Hamburg and the associated neighborhoods, almost every potential real estate buyer will find a property in an optimal location.
Hamburg's districts and neighborhoods at a glance
Hamburg is divided into a total of seven districts. They are administered and managed by the district offices. The districts comprise 104 neighborhoods, which in turn contain one or more micro-neighborhoods.
1. Eimsbüttel
Eimsbüttel is the smallest of Hamburg's districts in terms of area, covering just under 50 km². It borders Schleswig-Holstein, is home to the University of Hamburg and is one of the most important locations for the German creative and media industries. Eimsbüttel is divided into nine neighborhoods. Rotherbaum and Harvestehude are characterized by their villa districts, while Höheluft-West and Eimsbüttel have a more urban flair due to their proximity to the city center. The districts of Stellingen and Lokstedt have a suburban character.
2. Hamburg-Nord
The second smallest district of the Elbe metropolis is Hamburg-Nord, which covers about 58 km². The 13 districts in Hamburg-Nord are in turn broken down into 32 local areas. These include neighborhoods close to the city center, such as Uhlenhorst or Hohenfelde, as well as more sparsely populated outlying areas, such as Fuhlsbüttel, Langenhorn and Alsterdorf.
3. Wandsbek
Wandsbek, covering an area of 147.5 km², is considered Hamburg's most populous district with its 18 neighborhoods. It marks the northernmost border of the city and is home to many cultural monuments.
4. Bergedorf
Bergedorf, which borders Lower Saxony, functions as the largest district with an area of 154.8 km². Since comparatively few inhabitants are spread over this large area, Bergedorf has a rather suburban ambience with many green and farmland areas. Single-family and two-family houses are mainly found here, built in the picturesque tree-lined streets and avenues.
5. Harburg
The most southwestern of all the boroughs in Hamburg is Harburg. It used to form an independent city before being assigned to Hamburg. Harburg is home to educational institutions such as the Technical University and the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services, as well as renowned companies such as Beiersdorf, Daimler, Shell and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen. In addition, Harburg is home to Hamburg's inland port and numerous city parks and green spaces.
6. Hamburg-Mitte
The Hamburg-Mitte district runs right through the city and is home, among other things, to Hamburg's popular new neighborhood on the Elbe: HafenCity. Together with 18 other districts such as St. Pauli, Steinwerder, Neustadt and others, HafenCity forms the most central district of Hamburg.
7. Altona
The westernmost of all districts of Hamburg emerged from the former independent city, whose division and boundaries have hardly changed since its incorporation in 1938. Popular and well-known neighborhoods of Hamburg in the district of Altona include the renowned areas of Blankenese, Othmarschen, Ottensen and the new district of Sternschanze, which was created in 2008.
Downtown and residential areas around the Alster are popular, but with high purchase prices.
Worthwhile districts for purchasing real estate
The districts and neighborhoods in Hamburg are extremely diverse when it comes to locations and architectural design. In order to identify good residential areas in Hamburg, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the district profiles and get to know their characteristics and special features. Popular, but with higher real estate prices, are inner-city and urban residential areas around the Alster, for example in HafenCity, but also in the exclusive neighborhoods of Blankenese or Ottensen. Districts in Hamburg where you can find properties with a good price-performance ratio are mostly found in the outskirts of Eimsbüttel, Altona or Harburg. In general, it is advisable to focus on the quiet locations in the districts of Hamburg.
District offices of Hamburg
All city districts are administered by the district offices in Hamburg. These authorities include various specialized offices, departments and service centers, which include, for example, the customer centers that perform tasks of the residents' registration office. Their area of operation covers the respective entire boroughs of Hamburg up to the district boundaries. The district offices in Hamburg have existed since the district reform in 1945; a district administration reform in 2008 also resulted in some of the districts being assigned to other districts, and new districts such as Sternschanze or HafenCity were created.

Sex attacks up a fifth in some parts of Britain as towns and cities suffer thousands more rapes and assault
SEX attacks have soared by a staggering 22 per cent in some parts of the country, a Sun investigation reveals today.
Our probe found cops in many towns and cities dealt with thousands more rape and serious sexual-assualt cases last year than in 2019.
The surge comes as the Home Secretary and our nation's most senior police officers face mounting pressure to make Britain's streets safer after Sarah Everard's murder earlier this month.
But in the wake of the death of the 33-year-old marketing executive, whose remains were found in Kent woodlands on March 12, newly obtained data shows rising numbers of sex beasts are launching attacks right across the country.
The worst increase has been seen in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands, where the number of sex-assaults recorded by police grew from 2249 in 2018/19 to 2757 last year.
That's an increase of 22 per cent – the highest rise recorded by cops anywhere in England and Wales.
RISE IN ATTACKS
Three months ago rapist Muhammed Jan, 24, was jailed after carrying out a string of depraved attacks on four women in Derby.
And just last week Sudesh Kumar, 41, was caged for eight years after being convicted of raping a young woman while taking her home from a party in the city.
Other parts of the UK have also seen a similar disturbing rise in attacks.
Police in Essex recorded an 18 per cent rise last year after offences grew from 4,274 to 5,071.
In July, a judge in the county ruled one prolific offender may never be released as he was such a danger to women.
Rory Griffin had been out of jail just 13 days – having served a five-year sentence for raping and indecently assaulting a teenager – when he preyed on his next victim.
The 23-year-old attacked a 50-year-old married woman who was sitting on a park-bench in Basildon, Essex.
As he was attacking her, evil Griffin whispered into her ear: "You're not my first – I've done this to another young girl and I did it all night long."
Meanwhile officers in Warwickshire saw sex-assaults grow by 17 per cent.
There were also large rises in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Gloucester, Cleveland, Cheshire, South Yorkshire, Sussex and the Thames Valley.
According to the data released by the Office For National Statistics total recorded sex offences fell slightly from 164,054 to 162,838 between 2018/19 to 19/20.
But the East of England recorded a rise of 8% after sex crimes grew from 15,466 to 16,711. While in the East Midlands cases grew 7% from 12,847 to 13,760.
The ONS also said that for the year ending March 2020, 773,000 adults aged 16 to 74 were victims of sexual assault, including attempts.
These statistics are extremely concerning and should offer a sharp wake-up call to the government
There were almost four times as many female victims at 618,000, compared to 155,000 men.
But fewer than one in six female victims of sexual assault in England and Wales reported it to the police.
In the year to March 2020, 207 women were killed in Great Britain.
More than nine out of 10 killers were men.
About 57% of female victims were killed by someone they knew, most commonly a partner or ex-partner.
Yesterday charities warned Britain's streets were becoming an increasingly dangerous place for women to walk alone.
Lisa King, director of communications and external relations at Refuge, said: "These statistics are extremely concerning and should offer a sharp wake-up call to the government. The time for change is now."
Diana Fawcett, chief executive of the charity Victim Support, added: "Sexual offences have a devastating and long-lasting impact on people's lives and it is vital that victims who come forward are treated with respect and given high-quality support every step of the way through the criminal justice system, from speaking to the police to giving evidence in court, in order to help them rebuild their lives.
"Sadly, for many women, this is not often the experience they have."

Exams are coming! Feeling stressed-out? AAO would like to wish you good luck as you wrap up this semester and prepare for the upcoming assessment period.
Study well, good luck and have a Super Pass!
To ensure that each student is aware of the academic options available and to strive towards good academic progress, the University requires all first-year students to meet with their Faculty Academic Advisers (FAAs) at least once EVERY semester.
In this workshop, students consider and question if postgraduate study is the right next step. Highlights of the workshop include examining the advantages and disadvantages of further studies and exploring the academic transition from the undergraduate to postgraduate level. Current MPhil and PhD students will be on a panel addressing common issues and taking questions from the audience.
How does being a postgraduate student differ from being an undergraduate student?
What determines if you are academically ready for postgraduate research?
What are important considerations for finding programmes that are a good fit?
What can you do now to help transition next into postgraduate study?
… and any questions that you bring forth.
You will find a wide spectrum of learning opportunities and student support services outside classroom such as student exchange, service learning, experiential learning, library service, health education, sports programmes, English language support, common core curriculum information, personal development and career planning, campus life and student development, academic advising, general education, internship and many more.
Tea and sandwiches will be provided.
This workshop is open to all staff interested in academic advising for undergraduate students.
The overall aim of the workshop is to provide updates on academic advising resources and to encourage sharing of practices. Come with cases and comments you would like to share with other academic advisers and staff of the Academic Advising Office during the workshop.
For enquiries, please contact Dr. Amy Lewis at 2219 4684.
This playful and interactive workshop will provide students with an introduction to assessment methods in the Common Core and focus on practical advice on how best to actively participate in class and tutorials. The Director of Common Core Curriculum will demonstrate a typical learning environment and request audience participation. AAO will highlight key academic resources and explain how to find academic support.
