An emergency summit aimed at bringing peace to the troubled Central African Republic is in its second day in the Gabonese capital, Libreville.
Central African President Ange Felix Patasse is continuing talks begun Tuesday with heads of state from Chad, Gabon and Congo Brazzaville, behind closed doors in Libreville.
The emergency summit is part of intense diplomatic efforts to stop resurgent fighting in the Central African Republic. It comes in the wake of similar talks Monday in Sudan, where African leaders agreed to send a peacekeeping force to maintain security in the CAR.
A resolution issued at the close of that summit said the force would be made up of troops from 16 nations in the region. But it did not specify how many peacekeepers would be involved, or when they would be deployed.
Delegates in Libreville say the resolution, which has not yet been signed by the African heads of state, is central to the ongoing talks aimed at diffusing the crisis in the Central African Republic.
Fighting flared in the CAR after Mr. Patasse fired army chief, General Francois Bozize, on October 26. The general was sacked after the government linked him to a foiled coup attempt in May.
General Bozize fled north to Chad last month. The Chadian government has refused to extradite him, saying it considers the Patasse government's case against the general, to be political not judicial.
Soldiers loyal to General Bozize have been fighting government forces in the north of the Central African Republic, close to the border with Chad.
Two weeks ago, soldiers loyal to General Bozize temporarily seized control of two towns, but were driven away by Libyan-backed government forces.
Leaders in the region are concerned that the fighting may spread beyond the Central African Republic's borders.

Well you're in for a treat – we're getting all of the Agile Admins in on making DevOps courses, and Karthik and I did a course that's just released today – DevOps Foundations: Lean and Agile.
After James and I did DevOps Foundations, the "101" course, we were focused on building out courses for the three major practice areas of DevOps – Continuous Deployment, Infrastructure Automation, and Site Reliability Engineering (in progress now). But our lynda.com content manager said there was interest in us also expanding on the use of Agile and Lean especially as it relates to DevOps.
Karthik is our agile admin Agile expert; he's presented at several Agile conferences and the like, so he and I decided to take it on. But how would we bring a DevOps specific take to it? We started outlining a course and realized it could turn into a giant boring encyclopedia of every Lean and Agile term ever. Most of what we have to add isn't reading definitions, it's sharing our experiences actually doing this (my Scrum for Operations series on this blog is perennially popular).
So we decided to take a tip from both Eliahu Goldratt's The Goal and Gene Kim's The Phoenix Project by framing the course as a fictional story! By stitching a narrative together of a Lean, Agile, DevOps transformation of a hypothetical company out of our real world stories from a variety of implementations, we figured we could explain the concepts in context and make them more interesting. Let us know what you think!
By applying lean and agile principles, engineering teams can deliver better systems and better business outcomes—both of which are crucial to the success of DevOps. In this course, instructors Ernest Mueller and Karthik Gaekwad discuss the theories, techniques, and benefits of agile and lean. Learn how they can be applied to operations teams to create a more effective flow from development into operations and accelerate your path of "concept to cash." In addition to key concepts, you can hear in-the-trenches examples of implementing lean and agile in real-world software organizations.
New DevOps Courses In The Can!
Well it was busy week last week – James, Karthik, and I were all in lovely Carpenteria, CA at the lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning HQ to film some new DevOps Foundations courses!
We have two out already – James and I did DevOps Foundations, which lays out the basics of DevOps from culture to containers. It's a three hour course, and should suffice to orient someone in all the ways of DevOps and defines Continuous Delivery, Infrastructure Automation, and Reliability Engineering as its three practice areas. (There's a course handout under the Exercise Files that has links and bibliography, as well.) It's DevOps 101 if you could use that!
And then we started to flesh out the major DevOps practice areas we defined in that course as 200-level courses. These focus on concepts but illustrate with tool demos. So we filmed DevOps Foundations: Infrastructure Automation in March, which released the end of April. It's two hours, and covers infrastructure as code concepts and the basics of creating infrastructure from specs with e.g. CloudFormation, provisioning systems with e.g. Chef, and going immutable with Docker.
But now we have an irresistible urge to do more, so in a double shot that took about a year off my life, last week James and I recorded DevOps Foundations: Continuous Delivery, which goes over continuous integration and delivery and shows you how to build a delivery pipeline – we used Jenkins/Nexus/Chef/go/abao/Robot Framework but again we focused on concepts and did just enough implementation to illustrate it.
James went home mid-week and Karthik came out, and we also recorded DevOps Foundations: Lean and Agile! Lean and Agile are integrally related to DevOps and especially to being successful at DevOps. Our content manager actually asked us to do this one; we were kinda bulling ahead on our three main practice areas, but we said sure! We cover some Agile and Lean basics, and then we take a tip from The Goal and The Phoenix Project, and the bulk of the course is a fictional implementation stitched together from real experiences we've both had doing these at various companies. It was fun! Here's a look at behind the scenes.
Both of these should drop in about 5 weeks, so keep an eye out.
James and I have been talking lately about the conjunction of Lean and Security. The InfoSec world is changing rapidly, and just as DevOps has incorporated Lean techniques into the systems world, we feel that security has a lot to gain from doing the same.
While we were there we were interviewed by Derek Weeks. Read his blog post with a transcript of the interview, and/or watch the interview video!
We'll be writing more about it here, but we wanted to get a content dump out to those who want it!
So given the problem of DevOps being somewhat vague on prescriptions at the moment, let's look at some options.
One is to simply fit operations into an existing agile process used by the development team. I read a couple things lately about DevOps using XP (eXtreme Programming) – @mmarschall tweeted this example of someone doing that back in 2001, and recently I saw a great webcast by @LordCope on a large XP/DevOps implementation at a British government agency.
To a degree, that's what we've done here – our shop doesn't use XP or really even Scrum, more of a custom (sometimes loosely) defined agile process. We decided for ops we'll use the same processes and tools – follow their iterations, Greenhopper for agile task management, same bug tracker (based off HP), same spec and testing formats and databases. Although we do have vestiges of our old "Systems Development Framework," a more waterfally approach to collaboration and incorporation of systems/ops requirements into development projects. And should DevOps be tied to agile only, or should it also address what collaboration and automation are possible in a trad/waterfall shop? Or do we let those folks eat ITIL?
Or, there's "create a brand new approach," but that doesn't seem like a happy approach to me.
What have people done that works? What should be one of the first proposed roadmaps for people who want to do DevOps but want more of something to follow than handwaving about hugs?

Domestic airlines seek $50m grant from CBN's special forex window
By Ikenga Chronicles November 2, 2016
Domestic airline operators have pleaded with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to allot the local industry at least $50million grant from the foreign exchange (forex) special intervention programme.
The airlines, while commending the take-off of the programme, said domestic operators deserved equally wider forex window like their foreign counterparts, given their more important role in development of the local economy.
The CBN,had, following agitations by stakeholders, in October intervened in the inter-bank forex market, granting concession to some sectors, through forward settlement.
Besides aviation, raw materials and machinery for manufacturing companies and agricultural chemicals are other beneficiaries.
The CBN's Special Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS) is, however, a one-off exercise dedicated to the clearance of the backlog of matured forex obligation for airlines, especially the international carriers that have funds stuck in Nigerian.
Report says at the forex bidding processes opened about two weeks ago, with invitation sent to the airlines to place their request.
Some airlines, however, could not meet the deadline as the invitation allegedly came without prior notice and closed too soon. For airlines that made submission, on the basis of naira, they could immediately pool their forex grants expected within 60 days.
Chairman of Arik Air, Joseph Arumemi-Ikhide, said considering the need of the local airlines, they deserved more than what they had been given in the short period that the window was opened for bidding.
Arumemi-Ikhide stressed that all activities of the airlines, from maintenance to fuel and other services are denominated in foreign exchange.
He said while the foreign airlines were being given more forex grants on account of their funds stuck in the Nigerian economy, the domestic airlines are more important to the economy since the money remains in the Nigerian system.
According to him, "That is why we are asking for better allocation that should also be a regular programme instead of one-off and the sudden approach. CBN should give us between $40million and $50million to grow the economy."
"Foreign airlines are collecting the money to take back to their country and pay salaries of their people overseas. We are the ones that remain here to benefit the system."
"We also have money stuck everywhere, we are not making noise about it. Arik's money is in Angola and West African countries, why didn't the International Air Transport Association (IATA) speak for the repatriation of our funds? It behoves upon us all to support our own and stop favouring foreign airlines against those that are ours," he said.
The chairman noted that since former President Olusegun Obasanjo, no other administration has been bold enough to support and promote domestic airlines, but often quick to unfairly condemn them as weak.
Executive Vice President of Arik, Chris Ndulue, said while the forex intervention is good for the industry, it should be made available on continuous basis to the beneficiaries.
Chief Executive Officer of Med-View Airlines, Muneer Bankole, had also commended the initiative, with optimism that its implementation would upturn the fortunes of the aviation industry.
Bankole said: "The currency is actually the backbone of airlines, as it is all over the world. It has to be dollar denominated and the situation here has not helped the sector."
"We have cried out to the government to build an environment and a window in the Central Bank for the airlines to access, for relief. So, it is good that the intervention is coming but has to be properly done to benefit all," he said.

"I am pleased to announce that fourth quarter trading has been broadly in line with expectations. At the same time, the traditional batch capture market remains under pressure from the continuing trends of consolidation and commoditisation, thereby rendering it a segment with diminishing long-term opportunity. Our further shift towards transactional solutions positions DICOM Group well for future growth. We are confident that these changes will position us to grow our business over the next few years into one of the most successful providers of integrated content capture, transformation and exchange solutions globally."
The scribe lives in a perpetual fear and perverse admiration of what the spin meisters of his holdings will unleash in the place of straight talk. The entirely rational basis for this paranoia is that the PR artistes of this morning's Dicom announcement above, Financial Dynamics, also advised a pre-Weston iSoft plc during its recent near-death trip on a series of pronouncements that collectively might be described kindly (but inaccurately) as disingenuous.
Nonetheless, Dicom is a different case. It is jammed in the spit-roast position between an investment public yet to be convinced of its current "new" strategy; and a management indecisive (or incomprehensive) as to how to invest a cash pile of £35m or 40p per share. For a firm worth £158m calls for special dividends are not far away - especially if the touted double-digit earnings fail to materialise. And 10.01% will probably not count.
Dicom has improved an array of liquidity, productivity and profitability ratios since 2005 and remains an impressive cash machine in spite of the operating discomfort its regulatory announcements and analyst presentations gloss over. A £3m investment (if that is indeed what it ought to be called) in "more attractive growth areas" (as the update terms it) thus looks eminently reasonable and sensible. If only the owners knew precisely what it was for they might react encouragingly instead of with puzzlement at an announcement of lamentably opaque quality.
Does the bulk of public company history not caution against communications strategies that issue the bare minimum information demanded by exchange disclosure requirements? Spirit, please, not just letter.
Addendum: a small idea of one source (Open Text Corporation) of likely M&A interest here in case readers thought the reference was a complete joke.


The maintenance of a hybrid pitch is similar to that of a natural grass surface and will vary at different sites, with 'closed' stadia and 'open' training grounds having differing needs. That said, grounds managers must always consider a number of factors, such as the availability of natural light, air movement, climatic/micro-climate conditions and frequency of use. Annual renovation and professional pitch consultancy are also mandatory if a stable pitch quality is to be maintained.
Grow lights offer photosynthetic lighting and can be used with heating systems to provide the correct combination of temperature and light.
Mowing, aeration, scarifying/raking, irrigation, plant nutrition, disease and pest management are also important maintenance procedures to be carried out regularly.
Establish a healthy new grass sward.
Continuous monitoring is essential to assess pitch condition and determine issues concerning maintenance, performance and playability. GrassMaster Solutions provides professional pitch consultants for such a task, and the company's Solutions Team trains, guides and assists the people responsible for the pitch with the aim of maintaining a perfect pitch – anytime, anywhere.
We changed to GrassMaster five years ago and the surface stability has been a saviour – for example, we had 67 scrums from November to December and I could sleep at night knowing that the surface would hold up!
GrassMaster Solutions is the hybrid grass division of Tarkett Sports. The stitched hybrid grass system GrassMaster is 100 per cent natural grass reinforced with 20 million in-house produced PP fibres. PlayMaster is a carpet-based hybrid technology that ensures instant playability.

Yuengling Awards 2 Orange County Choppers™, donates over $50,000 to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund
Pottsville, PA, November 5, 2010 – D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America's Oldest Brewery, recently held an event at Orange County Chopper™ headquarters to award one consumer and one wholesaler sales representative the prize of a lifetime.
From May through August, 2010, throughout the 13 states where Yuengling is sold, Yuengling and OCC™ fans 21 and older entered to become semi-finalists for a custom Yuengling Chopper, made by OCC™. Over 38,000 consumers entered the program via text-to-win format. 95 were randomly selected to become semi-finalists, and along with their guests, were treated to a weekend celebration at OCC™ Headquarters in Newburgh, NY, on October 23rd, 2010.
In addition, 30 wholesaler personnel and guests were invited to attend the event, based upon sales merit. A second, identical chopper would eventually be awarded to one lucky sales representative.
"The affiliation with Orange County Choppers™ certainly garnered a great deal of attention all summer," stated Lou Romano, Marketing Manager for Yuengling. "Although only one semi-finalist and one sales representative would win a chopper, the goal was to give everyone a memorable weekend, and also to help benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund."
During the program, the Yuengling Brewery and several wholesalers committed to donate a portion of their sales to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Radio stations also organized local events to raise money, and a raffle for various Yuengling memorabilia was held at the OCC™ Event.
"With the help of many, we were able to raise over $53,500 to help benefit a cause we all believe in," commented Romano.
The evening culminated when Dick Yuengling, president and owner of Yuengling, randomly selected Eric Ward of Mid State Beverage (Williamsport, PA) as the wholesaler winner, and Michael Euless, of Franklin, PA, as the lucky consumer winner of the custom choppers.
"Awarding those choppers was an exciting moment for me, and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone who came," said Dick Yuengling. "It was a once in a lifetime event!"

Skateboarding While Gay
By: Jeffrey Arlo Brown
The language of skateboarding is all about compression.
Take the nollie frontside flip. An image of a young man performing this trick off a loading dock, both arms raised and wrists pointed down like the beaks of swans, used to hang taped above my bed. Its constituent parts are: the ollie, which is a jump. A nollie is a nose-ollie, a jump performed with the front foot. The flip is a kickflip, where the skateboarder slides his foot off the skateboard to make it rotate. Frontside refers to the direction of the counter-clockwise 180 degree turn.
Memory, too, has a way of compressing experiences, made up of many discrete parts, into a smaller image, feeling, smell. I was a skateboarder for about a decade, from the ages of nine to 19. I remember lonely childhood afternoons at the basketball court near my house, and sweaty teenage nights on the mini ramp in a friend's basement. Then, about the time my interest in men was waxing, my weekends skateboarding waned.
I spent the next decade away from the skateboard. It had come to seem foreign to my identity. Gay men might lust after skateboarders; they don't often participate in the sport themselves.
But last summer, I found my eyes lingering on the handrails, ramps and ledges of the skatepark near my home. I showed up at a local skate shop far too early in the morning. Entering the shop and preparing my speechI used to skate, I was prepared to admitI found I didn't need to say a thing. The tall employee, immediately sizing me, said, "Let me guess. You used to skate, and now that the weather's nice, you want to start again, and you don't know what kind of skateboard to buy." I nodded dumbly.
My new skateboard, chosen for its neutral size, was decorated with motives that looked like shit. I took the train to my city's largest skatepark, getting off at the wrong side of the park and walking for nearly an hour through the flat grass under the exposed sun.
Those first few hours felt like encountering an old lover again after years of separation. They were physically awkward, fraught with danger, exhilarating for the small kernels of familiar memory that revealed themselves in time. I was the only person there, and so I made conversation with imaginary skateboarders under my breath, trying to unpack the compressed terminology of my teenage years, which remained just beyond my synapses.
A few days after my first reencounter with the sport, I went out again, and met a boy from New Hampshire. "Little nollie frontside shove-its after you land your trick are really in right now," he told me, and I nodded along politely, barely comprehending. As the summer lengthened, sentences like this began making sense to me again. The tightly coiled phrases of skateboarding language were reconstructed in my mind, like a trauma victim who, through occupational therapy, rebuilds the myriad connections in his brain. Long-dormant muscles in my body began first to hurt, then to regain their strength. And I remembered the beautiful low stakes of skateboarding, where, like Mozart's opera "Così fan tutte," the defining moments are often incidental.
For the first time in a decade, I also remembered what sheer physical mastery could feel like. A good ollie was in the toes and effortless. A kickflip down stairs, the distillation of courage to an angle of posture. (If I leaned back even a little, I knew I wouldn't land it, even before I jumped.) A smith grind, a diagonal positioning of the skateboard's axle along a rail, was all in the readiness to lean back. A normal manual, like a wheelie on a bike, was decided the moment I landed on the curb; a nose manual, not until I was off it.
As the motions and words returned, so did my capacity for imagining skateboarding. I'd sit on the bus like I used to as a teenager, looking at the ledges, stairs, curbs, railings, inclines, grass gaps, hills, and loading docks of my city, and think about the way some ideal skateboarder could make use of them. It was a relief to have something new to think about in moments of boredom or anxiety.
There was a time when I felt that the only place for a gay man to practice a sport was the gym. But the gym is unappealing to me because it lacks danger and adventure. Riding my skateboard on a sidewalk, my left foot stabilizing my body over the grip tape, or sandpaper, the right pushing me forward like an oar, I feel the city opening up.
Virgil, in "The Aenid," writes of youthful athletes competing "Like a storm cloud driven before a storm wind, all / Intent upon the goal." That is the unique, invigorating atmosphere of the skatepark on a crowded weekend afternoon: children swooping down inclines to impress their parents; stick-thin teenagers, "soaked and slippery," performing tricks of unimaginable complexity; men past their prime, like me, some trim and stylish, others heavy-set and jowled, staggering and slipping, and following down, faces flushed red with the endorphin rush of their occasional success. I'd often stop to admire the beautiful male bodies in motion, but, perhaps because skateboarders are always watching and appreciating one another, it hardly occurred to me that this should make me feel out of place.
Whether it's because of the fear and discrimination we face in puberty, or a chance result of the hormonal imbalances in pregnancy that allegedly create us, gay men are prone to crippling anxiety. I'm no different. Each person deals with this in different waysand this winter, as I've waited for the temperature to rise and the rain to stop, I've been thinking about the ways skateboarding has helped me. Sure, it's a sport, and exercise makes you feel good. I also think it goes deeper.
Part of being gay is feeling vulnerable and fragile, like others might see through you at any time. Skateboarding, on the other hand, requires an arrogant assumption of invulnerability. A great skateboarder is like the Prince in Elfriede Jelinek's satirical retelling of the fairytale "Sleeping Beauty," from her Death and the Maiden: Five Princess Dramas: "Maybe I already am the Eternal One, since I haven't died yet."
Skateboarding, that sport of straight men, allowed me into that protective confident aura that these men seem to carry with them from their birth.
What is any sport but a make-believe version of war that sublimates courage in a game? Gay men I know search for adventure and belonging in all kinds of ways: rugby, compulsive travel, long days and nights in clubs.
After a summer on my skateboard, I realized how badly I was missing this. Virgil understood that the need to show bravery, no matter how pointless, is embedded somewhere in the our psyches. (And the heroism in skateboarding is pointless, with nothing to ever win except the sound of others smashing their skateboards on the ground in appreciation.)
One day in the autumn, I leaned forward too early on a ledge and my uneven weight heaved me down several feet. There was blood in implausible places. I staggered over to a bench and sat down. The only other skateboarder there came other, rolled a cigarette, and made small talk to distract me. In the Aenid, two male lovers compete against each other in the Trojan races. When Nisus falls flat, he trips up another competitor, allowing his lover Euryalus to take first place.
That day, like the injured Nisus, I still felt pleasure. Gay or not, I had finally rediscovered the human need to play at games of camaraderie and danger.

From cancer to coffee, the recipients of the 2015 Presidential Award of Distinction have portfolios of research accomplishments that separate the scientists from many others in their fields.Both Patricia Crown and C. Jeffrey Brinker, have dedicated their lives to studying culture and health in anthropology and engineering, respectively.
UNM President Robert Frank will honor and recognize Brinker and Crown with the 2015 Presidential Award of Distinction at the Dec. 11 fall commencement ceremony at WisePies Arena aka The Pit. Brinker and Crown are the fifth and sixth awardees of the Presidential Award of Distinction, established by Frank in 2013.
Frank established the honor to recognize outstanding career achievement, scholarly excellence, leadership in a profession, noteworthy public service or humanitarian endeavor. It is commemorated with a bronze medallion displaying the UNM Presidential Seal on one side and a howling lobo on the other.
C. Jeffrey Brinker is a Distinguished and Regent's Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering with an appointment in the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology. A member of The UNM Cancer Center, and a fellow at Sandia National Laboratories Brinker is also a distinguished affiliate scientist in the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, (CINT) created by Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Brinker is inspired by the natural systems which have evolved over billions of years to solve difficult engineering problems like water collection and purification, self-cleaning and repair, energy harvesting, and selective cellular delivery. He says emulating proven natural designs in robust engineering materials using efficient, processing approaches that can be manufactured represents a fundamental current grand challenge in materials science and engineering.
Over the past two decades Brinker's research team has developed self-assembly as a robust and efficient means to create porous and composite thin film and particulate nanostructures with optimized properties with complex functionalities. Recent work has focused on mesoporous silica nanoparticles whose huge internal surface area and variable surface chemistry enables loading with diverse cargos and whose external surfaces can be engineered to avoid or enhance binding with specific cell and tissue targets.
Brinker joined SNL as a member of the technical staff in 1979 and was appointed distinguished member of the technical staff at Sandia and National Laboratory Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the University of New Mexico in 1991. Since 1999, he has been jointly employed at Sandia, where he is one of four Sandia Fellows and a distinguished affiliate scientist at CINT.
Brinker has received some of the highest honors in the materials research field including the U.S. Department of Energy Ernest O. Lawrence Memorial Award in Materials Science and the Materials Research Society MRS Medal. In 2002 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Brinker is also the recipient of the 2015 STC.UNM Innovation Fellow Award.
His impact on technology is evidenced by four R&D100 Awards and 43 issued U.S. patents. Brinker's graduate students have won five MRS Graduate Student Awards (three Gold), the American Chemical Society Victor K. LaMer Award for best Ph.D. dissertation in colloid and surface chemistry, the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering, and the 2015 Kavli Award from the Materials Research Society.
Brinker grew up in Easton, Pa., and attended Rutgers University where he received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in ceramic science.
Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2014, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Patricia Crown has conducted field investigations in the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon and Hohokam areas of the American Southwest. A UNM faculty member since 1993, she recently directed the re-excavation of a room in Pueblo Bonito at Chaco Canyon that builds upon previous research. The paper, titled "Ritual drinks in the pre-Hispanic U.S Southwest and Mexican Northwest," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, studies how widely caffeine was used at different time periods. Crown says it is probable the caffeine was consumed as part of rituals or in political contexts, as they were in Mesoamerica. Part of that theory is based on context.
With collaborator Jeffrey Hurst, she identified the first Prehispanic cacao (chocolate) north of the Mexican border in ceramics from Chaco Canyon. It was the first actual scientific evidence of the use of Black Drink in the south central United States and the first demonstration that Black Drink was consumed prior to European contact.
In her original research on the consumption of cacao in Chaco Canyon she used sherds of pottery that came from cylinder jars. One hundred eleven of them were found in 1896 in one room of Pueblo Bonito, a large ruin in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. Most of the cylinders are now in the collections at the American Museum of Natural History. Crown says it documents the use of the plants far north of their natural habitats, implying some trade activity and suggests the beakers may have been created especially for their role in the ritual ceremonies featuring Black Drink.
Crown received her A.B. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974, and her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Arizona in 1981.
Previous recipients of the Presidential Award of Distinction include inaugural recipients Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics Steve R.J. Brueck and Emeritus Professor of Computer Science Cleve Moler. Last year, Dr. Howard Yonas, Distinguished Professor and chair of the UNM Department of Neurosurgery, and Gov. Susana Martinez, were honored.

This Body Is Alive is the first solo exhibition with the gallery by Los Angeles-based artist Suné Woods. As a complete installation encompassing the main gallery, This Body Is Alive applies an optical foundation to the body using both the aquatic and the corporeal to address topics of humanism and global resource. Through depictions of visual intimacy Woods presents an unassailable reality of humanist evolution as a complex interdependence between all species.
As the narrative on movement and materiality evolve, predominantly concerning bodies of water, sculptural photographs emerge as actualized objects. Constructed as images on photographic paper and substantially reconfigured to become a larger oceanscapes, Woods expands the definition of photography beyond a physical frame. The result concerns notions of intimacy and its transmission through interpersonal relationships, herein most succinctly expressed as ecological.
Suné Woods (b. 1975, Montréal, Canada) lives and works in Los Angeles.

Neal Huntington committed to striking balance between 'now and the future' in trade market
By David Manel Jun 14, 2015, 4:23pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Neal Huntington committed to striking balance between 'now and the future' in trade market
Huntington anticipates tight market; philosophy remains the same
As the Pirates look forward to again being potential buyers this year, Neal Huntington is bracing for another very tight trade market.
"I wish these markets existed when we were on the other side of it, when we were sellers," Huntington said. "This is absolutely a sellers market, at this point in time. Now, there may be a dozen teams that go on hot and cold runs and it clarifies some pictures, but there are a lot of teams that are within striking distance. ... I think it's awfully tough to get those teams to take away from their major league team."
Echoing a philosophy that we've heard the last two years, Huntington's said the organization's approach is to cautiously walk the line between upgrading this year's team, while preserving the resources necessary to remain competitive in the future.
"A couple years ago there was an argument that we had two legitimate holes that we had to fill and we didn't at the trade deadline. We heard it a lot," Huntington explained. "We wanted to see how it would progress and where it would go from there. We were able to add Byrd and Morneau. We gave up a lot to get Marlon Byrd, in hindsight. We knew it the day we did it. Those are the types of trades that unravel an organization if you do those too frequently or too many of them. They unravel a smaller, mid-market team very quickly.
"It will be interesting to see where the trade market plays out. We always walk that balance between now and the future. We want to do everything we can to put this club in a position to make the playoffs this year, win a World Series this year. At the same time, we want to be able to be in that position as many years in the future as we can."
Where's Lambo?
There have been conspicuously few updates about Andrew Lambo since he went on the disabled list with plantar fasciitis. Huntington said that Lambo is still dealing with pain associated with the condition.
"The plantar fasciitis injury is a hard one," Huntington said. "Some guys respond quickly and are able to come back. Andrew's had lingering pain, he's had lingering discomfort."
Huntington added that It may be some time before Lambo starts playing in games again.
"He's frustrated, he's disappointed. He wants nothing more than to get back to helping this club but he's just not far along yet right now."
Taking it slow with Glasnow
Tyler Glasnow is slowly working through the return-to-play regimen. Currently, he is making his way through "bullpen progression," and the Pirates are committed to continuing to take it slow with him.
"When we got him out in the game he still felt it so we decided to just go ahead and close things down completely, get that ankle as healthy as he can," Huntington said. "He's now working back through his throwing program, and because we shut him down, even from throwing, there will be a longer time period to get him worked back up again."
Hanson sticking at second?
Alen Hanson was named the International Player of the Month for May. He hit .302/.403/.595 for the month.
"His one strength is that he can barrel up the baseball, which also leads him to expand the zone at times," Huntington said. "Working with him to understand what he does well and what it means when he stays within the zone and how much damage he can do when he stays within himself."
After playing shortstop for much of his career, Hanson is playing second full time this season, and that is unlikely to change in the near future.
"We wanted to let him stay at second base to let the bat play and the bat is playing better," Huntington said. "We left him there to simplify the process for him, to let him focus on one thing, and it seems to be working so far. We'll see where we go big picture. We think he can be a dynamic offensive second baseman as a pretty good player."
Broxton's deserved promotion; Garcia waiting
Keon Broxton was recently promoted to Triple-A, and Willy Garcia may get the call soon. Huntington said that in Broxton's case there was no doubt he belonged in Indianapolis and that he was blocked by the depth of the organization. Garcia has a few more things to work on, but is getting close.
"Willy and Keon Broxton both probably deserve to go to Triple-A," Huntington said. "The challenge is when you're a playoff-caliber team you're looking at depth options in Triple-A, sometimes you block a prospect that's maybe ready to go to the next level. In Broxton's case, absolutely is ready to go to the next level. In Willy's case, we challenged him to command the zone better, something similar to what we just got done talking about with Alen, and he's been doing that. ... Willy's getting very close to being ready to take that next challenge as well."

What Is Video Gaming?
Posted on November 30, 2021 by domtoreto88
Video games are interactive games that involve the use of input devices, such as a keyboard or a joystick. Users interact with the interface and generate visual feedback. An example of an input device is a video game's user interface. These input devices include a motion sensing device, which is a common part of the video gaming industry. The controls are used to control the movement of the player's character in the game. It is important to note that the game interface can also be accessed by other people, which makes it possible for other people to play the game.
Although the term "gaming" has been criticized for its content, many people find this form of entertainment useful for a wide variety of purposes. While it may seem like a waste of time, most people enjoy the time they spend on gaming. It can help with visual and motor coordination in educational settings, and can be a great way to relax after a long day. Furthermore, the use of video games can help improve your concentration and increase your level of productivity.
Gaming has been a popular pastime for many people throughout history. However, there are still some differences between hardcore and casual gamers. Some players spend hours playing games on their phones. These individuals are known as hardcore gamers. Regardless of the type of gaming, the most common type of players is the casual gamer. This is a subgroup of people who spend a lot of time gaming. If you're looking for a more intense gaming experience, you can check out our website and learn about the various types of games available.
In the case of video games, gaming is more of a hobby than a hobby. If you want to experience this type of entertainment, you must make sure to learn more about how it works. In addition to being a hobby, you can try out online multiplayer video games. When you're not a novice, you must be careful not to get distracted by the many different types of games available. In addition, it's important to learn about the different types of games.
As the gaming industry is becoming more popular, more people are making video games. But in addition to this, gaming has become a more important part of the media. Besides being a fun way to pass time, it can also be a risk. As you can see, the industry of video games has spread to other parts of the world, which is a plus for both the players and the creators. While there are some risks associated with playing video games, you can also experience the benefits of it.
A gamer is often antisocial. A gamer's personality is shaped by the type of games they play. He or she has no social skills, and is likely to be highly competitive in the virtual world. A video gamer may be able to play multiple games, depending on the genre. A video gamer's lifestyle is defined by the type of videogames they're playing. While a person can enjoy many types of videogames, it's not possible to become addicted to one.
Understanding the Definition of Health
There are many different definitions of health. For example, the World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete well-being without disease or infirmity." Other organizations use a more individualized definition, referring to health as a state of complete well-being. However, whatever definition you use, it's important to understand the basic difference between these terms. There are many benefits to knowing these differences. In this article, we'll explore the many different aspects of health and explain the various types of disease.
The first thing to understand is that health is defined as a physical and emotional capacity. This ability includes the capacity to adapt and maintain homeostasis. Mental health refers to the ability to develop skills and maintain relationships. Some health measurement tables emphasize psychological and social resources, such as resilience. In addition, the WHO defines physical health as a state of complete physical well-being. The next step is defining the term in terms of resilience, which are two different categories.
The World Health Organisation's founding constitution also focuses on the social and psychological components of disease. As a result, the WHO considers health to be a state of complete well-being, rather than a single disease. It aims to create a new model for understanding disease. A biopsychosocial model takes into account the social and psychological aspects of disease. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and transformative understanding of the term "health".
The World Health Organisation's definition of health is consistent with the biopsychosocial model of health. The WHO has found that the traditional definition of health does not capture the full scope of human well-being. While health is an essential component of a healthy life, there are many other factors that play into a person's health. One of these is social and psychological support. The last is the physical ability. It is important to note that a biopsychosocial model of health is a broader concept of wellbeing.
Lastly, health is a critical part of life. It is the foundation of our ability to participate in society and live a full life. The three main definitions of health are: (1) the physical condition of a person. A community's health is defined as "a state of well-being". The second is health. In the world, "health" is a state of health. The third is a condition of health. The fourth is the physical behavior that contributes to the well-being of a community.
In a modern world, health is defined in several ways. Some define health as being free from disease and being in an optimal state, while others define it as the ability to cope with daily demands. In a more traditional definition, health is a person's ability to function in the physical environment. A person's physical condition is defined as a "normal" individual. A person's physical condition is a "normal" condition.
The Benefits of Sports
Sports provide a wide range of activities for individuals of different ages. Some of these sports involve physical exertion and are considered pastimes, while others require a great deal of skill and skillfulness. Some people go to stadiums to watch their favorite team play, while others simply watch the game on television. Whatever the case, sports are a great way to get the body moving and keep away from disease. Here are some examples. In addition to physical exercise, sports can also help reduce diseases.
Sports are often governed by rules and customs. There are many rules and customs in sports, which help ensure fair competition and discourage cheating. These can be objective or subjective, but they are all meant to improve one's physical fitness. Several sports involve hundreds of competitors, while others are contests between two teams or single contestants. Even if there are no rules, participating in sports can be a great way to stay healthy and improve physical ability.
There are many different types of sports. Most of them involve intense physical activity and may involve sweating. They may also result in physical exhaustion. The purpose of these competitions is to enhance a particular body part. In a way, sports help people of all social classes. They also improve the health and fitness of a particular body part. While the term "sport" implies an intense physical activity, it is important to remember that it can be a form of entertainment for non-participants as well.
While some sports involve physical activity, others are more mental in nature. For example, mountain climbing is a sport that involves a competition between climbers. Both types of sport involve skill and knowledge, and are often played in teams. The main difference between these two is that one involves two people or a team. The other is a game involving two individuals. There are hundreds of other forms of sports. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors and stay fit.
Apart from physical activity, sports also promote good mental health. In addition to being active, sports are an excellent way to stay active and improve mental health. In fact, it has been proven that a healthy mind can lead to a successful career. Therefore, sport participation is a great way to stay fit and positive. However, the benefits do not end there. It can also improve relationships between participants, which is beneficial for the overall well-being of a person.
Ancient Greeks also used sports as a way to worship the gods. They would travel to the Olympiad to watch the events. They also participated in these events to show their devotion to the gods. In 1582, the city of Istanbul hosted 50 wrestling matches in honor of the child of Murad III. The sport is a great way to keep fit and maintain good health. There are many different types of sports, from golf to swimming, and there is a sport to suit everyone.
What Types of Games Are Not Considered Games?
While there are a wide variety of games, not all of them are considered games. Some examples of games that are not considered games include Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. These games have no real purpose other than to entertain. Neither of these two types of games is actually art. Despite this, there are a number of games that are not considered to be art. The following list will provide you with a clearer picture of the difference between the two types of work.
Game Etymology. The word game comes from the Greek gamanan, which means "to play." In addition, the term can refer to a contest between two or more people. In fact, the oldest game pieces were discovered in Turkey, about 5,000 years ago. It is estimated that people around the world spend more than 3,000 million hours each week playing computer games. The goal of these games is to beat other players. The objective of these games is not only to win, but to learn and improve at the activity.
Origins. Games have been played by humans for centuries. Some games, such as Go, have evolved in recent years to incorporate the Internet. They were originally developed to enhance motor and visual coordination, and some even feature sexual content. Today, these games have become an integral part of our culture, and they are played by people of all ages. While some people consider games to be just playthings, they can actually be quite useful in a variety of professional and educational situations.
A common misconception about games is that they are only for kids. They are for adults, and are not considered true entertainment. They are not. They are simply entertainment. Some people have a hard time figuring out the rules of a game and end up losing interest. Other people might find them to be a form of social connection. For many people, a game is an escape from the real world. This is the primary reason they are a popular form of entertainment.
Most games are played by more than one person. They are characterized by rules and tools. Some games are played with real baseballs, while others are played with wiffleballs. But regardless of the type of game, they all require some form of writing material. Other games may have a specific goal and can be competitive. However, games should not be forced on players. This is because they can not be played against an opponent. It is not only the players who define the rules, but also the opponents.
A game can be defined as a game that involves multiple players. Multiplayer games are more challenging than traditional games. For example, video games are considered to be "multiplayer" games. A player can play as a single character in a single game or as a whole team. If a game is considered a "game" it can be classified as a multiplayer one. If the players are competing against each other, they are unlikely to form alliances.
Types of Video Games
Video games are electronic games that involve interaction with a user interface and an input device such as a joystick, keyboard, or motion sensing device. These input devices generate visual feedback and enable players to interact with the game. There are many different types of video games, each with their own unique set of characteristics. Below we look at some of the most popular types of video games. Whether you're interested in classic arcade games or the latest high-tech arcade titles, there's a game out there for you!
While some gamers use gaming as a way to fall asleep, some say it negatively impacts their eating and sleeping habits. Some even use it as a way to avoid physical pain, and some forgo sleeping altogether so they can continue playing their favorite games later. Nevertheless, some people find it hard to resist the appeal of video games, and the addiction to video games is increasing. For those who have trouble deciding between gaming for fun or serious purposes, here are some of the most common gaming problems.
The term "gaming" is a generic term used to describe specialized applications that run on personal computers. Although some forms of gaming are based on gambling, most electronic games are not associated with gambling in the traditional sense. They can enhance cognitive skills, such as memorization, visual-spatial cognition, and arithmetic. Some of the most common types of video games are role playing, simulations, and action games.
The growth of the gaming industry has been rapid. Today, it is one of the largest, most innovative, and inclusive industries. It is a form of art, which has reached its potential. With so many different genres and platforms, there is a game for nearly every human being. Regardless of background, gender, and interests, there's a game out there for you. The gaming industry is one of the most widely accepted and popular forms of entertainment, and has become an integral part of contemporary culture.
Traditionally, gaming was an activity that was reserved for a few elites. These days, it has become a social activity that attracts a wide range of people. In addition to being an important industry, it is also a popular hobby. In addition to being a fun pastime, gaming has many other benefits. It helps us relax and unwind. As a result, we can enjoy the game without worrying about our work or our health.
The growth of video games has spurred the development of several different types of games. The first generation was primarily centered on board games. However, it has now become an important cultural and commercial activity. The growth of video games has led to a variety of different subtypes, such as arcade gaming, and the most popular of these are called hardcore. For example, there are two main types of video game playing: casual gaming and hardcore gaming.
Throughout history, different definitions of health have been used. In today's world, health is often defined as "a state of complete well-being, free from illness, infirmity, or disability." According to the World Health Organization, "health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being." However, in other countries, health is more broadly defined as an absence of disease or infirmity, or as the absence of pain, discomfort, or other ailment.
Although health can be seen as a general concept, it is primarily a resource that allows people to survive and function in life. It can be described in terms of personal resources, social networks, and emotional capacities. Many of these factors are caused by structural factors, such as age, gender, or gender. Other aspects of health are more subjective and are based on individual choices and circumstances. Healthy living requires a variety of activities and habits, including healthy eating and physical exercise.
There are many types of interventions available to improve health. One such example is the World Health Organization constitution. It is based on the idea that health is a total physical and mental well-being. This view of health is outdated and can lead to a medicalized society. This is the reason why the WHO has a constitution that focuses on resilience and self-management. If you're looking for an effective way to improve your health, read on!
Another popular way to measure health is through the use of a scale of values. While people's observations and feelings are important, the definition of health is largely based on a population's societal values and behaviors. Taking preventive action and promoting healthy lifestyles are essential elements of a successful health program. It is important to remember that a lack of a specific value in an individual can also affect their ability to live productively in society.
In contrast to the traditional medical model, a biopsychosocial model integrates social, psychological, and cultural factors that determine health. This approach identifies health as a person's capacity to adapt to their environment. A doctor's role is to help them adapt to the circumstances. The World Health Organization has a mandate to promote the health of all its citizens. It also aims to ensure the well-being of the people. The objective of a physician is to maintain a patient's health.
Having a good health is a key element to living a meaningful life. A healthy lifestyle is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. It will ensure that individuals can live a life full of meaning and purpose. If you're a person who values health, a healthy environment is important for your happiness. It is essential for an individual to live a life in a way that is healthy. It will also improve the quality of their lifestyle and make them feel better in general.
There are many benefits to sports, from the physical health benefits to improving the skills of the participants. For starters, most sports require intense physical activity, burning calories, and developing skills. Moreover, they can improve an individual's ability to participate in future activities. In addition, most people who play sports improve their personality and social lives as well. Therefore, it is important to get involved in a sport. If you want to improve your social life or develop your athletic abilities, consider taking up a sport.
Apart from traditional and motorised sports, there are non-physical sports, such as chess, bridge, and wrestling. Some of these games also rely on the help of trainers and inyanga. But aside from the physical activities, these games have religious functions. For example, in a Zulu football game, the players use their trainers as their "inyangas". Some of these ancient activities include jousting and wrestling.
There are hundreds of different sports, and some of them are considered pastimes. Other sports require high physical fitness and endurance, and can be played by a single person or team. Some of them involve thousands of participants. Observers can enjoy watching these activities and improve their overall fitness. Some of them also promote friendship and camaraderie. There is a wide range of activities that are considered a sport, and there are even games that involve hundreds of players.
As the name suggests, sports can be divided into two categories, organised and unorganised. Although many of them may appear similar, there is a significant difference. In general, both sports are defined by the presence or absence of organization. While some sports are played for purely physical exertion, others are more social, which means that their rules are different. In other words, some have a broader scope and can even be categorized as social.
Most sports involve conflict and a struggle between individuals. This conflict is an inherent aspect of sport. In some cases, it involves a competitive nature that fosters a competitive nature. For instance, the term "sport" can mean anything from soccer to basketball to baseball. The word "sport" is generally defined as any physical activity. Among these, there are a number of definitions of sports. The most common is that a game is a form of competition, and a sport can be a recreational activity.
Whether a sport is played for fun or for competition, participation in sports can help a person's mental health. It is an excellent way to learn how to communicate with other people, and develop a positive self-esteem. Unlike other activities, sports are fun and can help you improve social skills. It helps to learn the basics of the sport, and it can improve your social skills. You can also improve your mental health and physical fitness.
Different Types of Games
Video games are the most popular type of games, which are played on expensive gaming consoles. These games are a lot of fun, and some of them even have competitive elements. They can also be played on other devices, like smartphones and tablets. These games are often noisy and distracting, but they are also a great way to keep your mind occupied. Depending on the game, you can either play it competitively or for pure entertainment.
These games are fun for both adults and children. These types of entertainment are also a way to decompress and feel better after a stressful day at work or school. People of all ages can find enjoyment in playing these games. While many people are prone to a rushed lifestyle, they can play a game to relieve stress. Some people even get a sense of accomplishment from playing games. So, you can also spend time with friends and family, a good way to pass the time.
Gammon is a popular example of a video game. In this genre, players manage different resources and aim to reach a specific goal first. It can be a game where cooperation is required, or a competitive game that requires a certain level of skill. But there are other types of games, such as role-playing and board games. Whether you're playing with a group or alone, it's a great way to spend time with friends.
As you can see, games vary a lot. They can be fun or serious. They can be fun for children or adults. If you're looking for a game that can improve your skills, consider the different genres. You can start by looking at your favorite games. In addition, you can explore new ones to find out which one is your favorite. If you're an adult, you can consider learning a new skill with these kinds of games.
A game is an interactive entertainment that involves several players. It is also a form of physical exercise. Some games are played with multiple people, like soccer or ludo. In these, the object of the game differs by type. Some of these games involve multiple players, so if you're a fan of a particular type of game, you should consider playing a few. If you enjoy a variety of games, you should find one that matches your interests and abilities.
Unlike real life, games are fun. You can experiment and learn with them. They can be useful in a wide variety of professional scenarios. For example, professional sports activities are an example of a game of reality. In these cases, the outcome of a game directly affects the real world. In the end, games are just entertainment. But you can also make money through them. If you're a game player, you can also use these games to earn money.
What Is Gaming? And How To Make It More Attractive
Gaming is the activity of playing video games using a computer or other electronic device. In a video game, you interact with the user interface via a keyboard, a joystick, or a motion sensing device. The input devices generate visual feedback. These input devices are used to play the game. Unlike other types of games, video games usually involve interacting with a human being. For this reason, it is important to learn how to control the input devices properly.
The term "gaming" was originally used to describe gambling, but nowadays the term has a broader definition. For example, the word is used for playing electronic games. However, the modern definition of gaming includes computer-based video games and other specialized applications. It has a number of applications in education, business, and military settings. It can be useful in assisting with motor coordination and visual coordination. But not all video games are gambling.
Today, gaming has become a popular form of entertainment. It is a popular hobby and is incredibly lucrative. It is so popular, in fact, that it has become one of the world's most profitable entertainment industries. It is a booming industry. With a thriving mobile industry, more people than ever are becoming involved in this industry. But what is gaming? And what are the best ways to make it more attractive? There are plenty of ways to improve gaming experiences.
The gaming industry has seen a meteoric rise, largely due to the popularity of mobile devices. The industry has spread to Southeast Asia and is now the most significant technology sector. In the early 1970s, it was dominated by niche forums, but today, the industry has evolved. Whether you prefer playing games in a social environment or on your own, the benefits of gaming are obvious. It has become the industry of choice for almost everyone.
The first time I played a video game, I found it very difficult to quit. This was the only way I could continue my game addiction and still make money. As a result, I was never able to quit. Even though it was a very rewarding hobby, I found it extremely stressful. Luckily, I had the opportunity to play video games for hours on end. This was my introduction to the gaming industry. I would recommend playing games online.
If you love video games, it can be a great distraction. It's not only fun, but it can be very addictive. The most popular online games allow you to interact with other players and earn money through online auctions. There are many options for playing video games. They offer thousands of features, such as loot boxes, and other bonuses. This makes gaming very addictive and can affect your health. It is a proven fact that playing video games can affect one's ability to focus.
Several definitions have been developed over the centuries of the term "health." The World Health Organization describes it as "the absence of disease or infirmity and a state of complete well-being." The most commonly accepted definition is that of the absence of pain, suffering or discomfort." While these may sound rather simplistic, these definitions have served different purposes throughout the years. To make matters more complicated, health may be defined in different ways according to different cultures and ethnicities.
A common mistake people make when defining health is thinking of it as a purely physical condition. This is a mistake. It can be considered a mental and emotional state. Regardless of what definition you choose, you need to consider the fact that you're not just looking for a good mood or energy boost. You'll be able to cope with day-to-day life if you are healthy. By avoiding unhealthy situations, promoting healthy activities and making sure that your social circle is strong, you can promote your mental and physical health.
The World Health Organization defines "health" as the state of complete mental and physical well-being. The term "health" was first used in 1948 and has since expanded its definition to include people who don't have any chronic conditions. However, it has recently been suggested that the world's definition of "health" no longer reflects the reality of today's aging population. Instead, it focuses on the ability to adapt to the environment and satisfy one's needs.
It's time to think about your own health. You're not only responsible for your health, but you're also responsible for your own well-being. If you're suffering from a health condition, you may want to seek help from a healthcare professional. The best way to ensure you're getting the right treatment for your particular needs is to visit your doctor. You'll find a good one to help you with your problems.
The World Health Organisation has a definition for "health". The definition of health can be expressed in terms of physical and mental well-being, and can be defined as the absence of disease. Similarly, the term "health" can also be a concept that relates to the social and cultural aspects of health. If you're concerned about your health, you should seek professional help if you are suffering from a health condition. If you're not feeling well, you should visit your doctor.
There are many ways to define health. The World Health Organisation's founding constitution outlines the definition of health as the absence of disease. A healthy person has a positive outlook. In general, people with healthy attitudes are happier. If they have a positive attitude, they will feel more satisfied in life. If you're unhappy with your current health condition, you might be unable to make the necessary changes in your lifestyle. But by embracing the concept of health, you will be able to live a healthy life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

A lesson in AV technology at Utrecht University
The University of Utrecht installs Panasonic displays, including 4K videowall.
In the new Victor J. Koningsberger-building at Utretch University, which houses Natural Sciences, Engineering, Earth Sciences and Medical Sciences faculties, audio-visual firm JNV has installed a 4K videowall.
The videowall, hung at the top of the stairs at the large main entrance, comprises 16 TH-55LFV5W displays and is approximately 2.8 by 5 metres.
Informal auditorium
The biggest challenge was to provide a videowall with 4K image quality for both digital signage as well as presentations. This was especially difficult as the University needed the ability to show images from a 4K laptop onto the videowall. This resulted in one of the first videowalls of this size with 4K image quality in the Netherlands.
"Opposite the screen there is a wide stairwell leading to the second floor, giving the impression of an auditorium. This was a conscious choice by the architect." said Peter Janssens, AV domain specialist at Utrecht University.
"We often use the videowall to show television or videos. The space for the videowall and the staircase then mainly function as an auditorium, but in a much more informal atmosphere.
"Next to the videowall there is a small cabinet used for connecting a notebook for presentations. Usually, the content on the videowall is directed centrally. The screen then also functions as a giant information panel, on which information about the University, the various faculties, and current activities are being shown on a continuous basis."
In addition to the videowall, JNV has installed a series of 55LFV5W displays on the first floor. These displays are used as a digital notice board. They show general news, University news, information on public transport and the University's twitter feed.
The student societies manage the content, along with the communication department. The communication department is also responsible for the corporate design as the information screens and videowall are seen as important tools for the branding of the University for its students and employees.
"The videowall is divided in four quadrants on four screens", explains Daniel Kerkhof, Regional Manager of Crestron Benelux, which creates operating systems for AV applications.
"Our DM-hardware is our operating force behind this. This assigns a specific piece of information to each individual quadrant on the screens, so that it is displayed accordingly. In fact, we use four separate videowalls to provide the complete image."
"these images connect and complement each other seamlessly to provide a perfect viewing experience"
"Because of the excellent image quality of the Panasonic displays and their thin bezel, these images connect and complement each other seamlessly to provide a perfect viewing experience. When this system was delivered, this was the only possible solution to create a 4K videowall."
4K image quality
"4K image quality was our most important requirement" said Peter Janssens. "It is definitely not the case that, because we are an AV-department, we automatically want the newest technology. However, we regard this system as the type of signage that will be the template for the future for all of our 40 University buildings."
"We like to communicate with our students. A part of that is 'push-information', which we offer at waiting areas, such as the canteen, the halls or elevators.
"A number of years ago all AV-services were organised per faculty,which has now merged into one central AV-service, which provides a service for the entire University. As an AV-service, we now have more influence. We are also more involved in the design, construction and accommodation of new buildings or spaces. This results in the use of standardised equipment, which has a significant cost reduction due to the central purchase and a more efficient way for maintenance and management."
JNV has been collaborating with the University since 2004 and has fitted more than 200 rooms.
"The Victor J. Koningsberger building is an example of the very latest IT-infastructure" says Jan Zwanenberg, digital architect at JNV.
"We regard this as the template for all of our University buildings."
"So to make sure that there will be enough network bandwidth in the future, all AV-equipment in the building is connected to a framework, so that remote monitoring of the equipment and support of the users is possible.
"In all spaces a touchscreen has been installed so that when users encounter problems they are helped by a self-service menu. Reality has shown that 90% of the problems with AV-equipment are caused by user errors. The AV service can also report on lighting times, user intensity and technical problems, in order to optimise the maintenance."
