World Cup 2010 prediction — here comes the science
Filed under: Science, Sports — Tags: FIFA, futbol. Spain, mathematics, Netherlands, predictions, soccer, University of London, World Cup 2010 — David Kirkpatrick @ 3:43 pm
(drumroll …)
And sophisticated analysis of Netherlands' and Spain's tactics predict a Spanish win this Sunday at Soccer City Stadium.
Mathematicians and football supporters Dr Javier López Peña and Dr Hugo Touchette from Queen Mary, University of London have collected ball passing data from all of the FIFA World Cup games and analysed it to reveal the nations' different styles of play.
Using the mathematical technique called Graph Theory, they have revealed the gaping holes in England's tactics against Germany game and made predictions about the Netherlands-Spain final that could rival the psychic octopus.
For each national side, Drs López Peña and Touchette have drawn up a 'network' of passes between players throughout the tournament and analysed how these networks compare between teams. Dr Touchette explains: "Each player in the network is given a score called centrality which measures how vital they are to the network. The higher the centrality score, the bigger the impact if that player wasn't there. This method is most commonly used to make computer networks more robust, but it can also be used to plan football strategy."
Multiple choice theories of everything
Filed under: Science — Tags: E8 symmetry, Garrett Lisi, mathematics, physics, string theory, the mind of god, theory of everything — David Kirkpatrick @ 5:30 pm
Back in January I blogged about "the most beautiful structure in mathematics," the basis of a physics theory-of-everything proposed by Garrett Lisi, That theory is part of an article on "Knowing the mind of God" at NewScientist outlining seven different theories of everything.
From the last link, more on Lisi's concept"
In 2007 the physicist (and sometime surfer) Garrett Lisi made headlines with a possible theory of everything .
The fuss was triggered by a paper discussing E8, a complex eight-dimensional mathematical pattern with 248 points. Lisi showed that the various fundamental particles and forces known to physics could be placed on the points of the E8 pattern, and that many of their interactions then emerged naturally.
Some physicists heavily criticised the paper, while others gave it a cautious welcome. In late 2008, Lisi was given a grant to continue his studies of E8.
And here's the article's synopsis of string theory, one of the better known ideas out there:
This is probably the best known theory of everything, and the most heavily studied. It suggests that the fundamental particles we observe are not actually particles at all, but tiny strings that only "look" like particles to scientific instruments because they are so small.
What's more, the mathematics of string theory also rely on extra spatial dimensions, which humans could not experience directly.
These are radical suggestions, but many theorists find the string approach elegant and have proposed numerous variations on the basic theme that seem to solve assorted cosmological conundrums. However, they have two major challenges to overcome if they are to persuade the rest of the scientific community that string theory is the best candidate for a ToE.
First, string theorists have so far struggled to make new predictions that can be tested. So string theory remains just that: a theory.
Secondly, there are just too many variants of the theory, any one of which could be correct – and little to choose between them. To resolve this, some physicists have proposed a more general framework called M-theory, which unifies many string theories.
But this has its own problems. Depending how you set it up, M-theory can describe any of 10500 universes. Some physicists argue that this is evidence that there are multiple universes, but others think it just means the theory is untestable.

Most beautiful math structure appears in lab for first time
New Scientist Physics & Math, Jan. 7, 2010
A complex form of mathematical symmetry linked to string theory has been glimpsed in the real world for the firsttime, in laboratory experiments on exotic crystals.
The structure is also the basis for another proposed theory of everything advanced in 2007 by surfer-physicist Garrett Lisi, who refers to E8 as "perhaps the most beautiful structure in mathematics".
Read Original Article>>
From the New Scientist link:
Radu Coldea of the University of Oxford and his colleagues chilled a crystal made of cobalt and niobium to 0.04 °C above absolute zero. Atoms in the crystal are arranged in long, parallel chains. Because of a quantum property called spin, electrons attached to the atom chains act like tiny bar magnets, each of which can only point up or down.
Strange things occurred when the experimenters applied a powerful 5.5-Tesla magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of these electron "magnets". Patterns appeared spontaneously in the electron spins in the chains – in a simplified example with three electrons, the spins could read up-up-down or down-up-down, among other possibilities. Each distinct pattern has a different energy associated with it.
The ratio of these different energy levels showed that the electron spins were ordering themselves according to mathematical relationships in E8 symmetry.

Invisibility cloak, part six
Filed under: Science, Technology — Tags: invisibility cloak, mathematics, PhysOrg.com, SIAM Review — David Kirkpatrick @ 7:53 pm
I've done plenty of blogging on cloak of invisibility tech, and here's the latest news from PhysOrg.
From the second link:
A paper published in the March 2009 issue of SIAM Review, "Cloaking Devices, Electromagnetic Wormholes, and Transformation Optics," presents an overview of the theoretical developments in cloaking from a mathematical perspective.
One method involves light waves bending around a region or object and emerging on the other side as if the waves had passed through empty space, creating an "invisible" region which is cloaked. For this to happen, however, the object or region has to be concealed using a cloaking device, which must be undetectable to electromagnetic waves. Manmade devices called metamaterials use structures having cellular architectures designed to create combinations of material parameters not available in nature.
Mathematics is essential in designing the parameters needed to create metamaterials and to show that the material ensures invisibility. The mathematics comes primarily from the field of partial differential equations, in particular from the study of equations for electromagnetic waves described by the Scottish mathematician and physicist James Maxwell in the 1860s.
One of the "wrinkles" in the mathematical model of cloaking is that the transformations that define the required material parameters have singularities, that is, points at which the transformations fail to exist or fail to have properties such as smoothness or boundness that are required to demonstrate cloaking. However, the singularities are removable; that is, the transformations can be redefined over the singularities to obtain the desired results.

Bush ship surges, but it still drags Quayle anchor. Why Vietnam specter haunts politicians
By Peter Osterlund Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Following are two questions a lot of baby-boomer politicians don't want to hear: What did you do during the Vietnam War?
Should we care?
Those questions have been sparked by the furor over Sen. Dan Quayle's military record. Senator Quayle, the GOP's nominee for vice-president, served in the Indiana National Guard during the war - at the time, a sure-fire way to avoid combat in Southeast Asia.
The controversy has swirled mostly around the issue of whether Mr. Quayle used the considerable clout of his well-connected family to avoid war duty. But the ensuing debate has raised complicated and still-confusing questions about the duty of '60s generation men to serve in Vietnam and the duty of society to honor those veterans who survived the conflict.
``With a few exceptions, every politician in America wants this subject to go away,'' says John Wheeler, a Vietnam veteran and the director of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. Adds Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, a former Navy pilot who spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam: ``Frankly, I'm worried this debate could reopen a lot of old wounds.''
Indeed, the finger-pointing has already begun. Conservative supporters of Quayle, smarting from the public flogging their candidate has endured, have begun to rally to his defense by highlighting the modest service records of his peers.
``It's gotten a little hysterical,'' says Senator McCain.
On Monday, for example, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal suggested that Sen. Bill Bradley (D) of New Jersey decided not to run for president, in part, because he did not want his six-month active-duty tour in the Air Force Reserve held up to ridicule.
Instead, the editorial pointed out, Senator Bradley signed a four-year contract with the New York Knickerbockers, a professional basketball team, in the 1967-68 season worth more than $500,000, at the time a record sum.
``We can imagine the questions,'' the Journal editorialized. ``How did you feel about soldiers dying in Vietnam when you were being paid a half million to play games?''
The next day, the Washington Times ran the results of a survey showing that 126 of the 203 representatives and senators of draft age during the Vietnam War did not serve in the military at all. The survey claimed that 30 of those lawmakers joined the National Guard or Reserves and that 47 were drafted or enlisted for active duty. Of those who did not serve in any capacity, the study added, 29 sit on congressional committees that oversee United States military policies.
Vice-President George Bush, too, has joined the fray. He told a Chicago convention hall full of cheering war veterans Monday night that, although his running mate might not have served in Vietnam, ``He did not go to Canada, he did not burn his draft card, and he damn sure didn't burn the American flag.''
Mr. Bush's statements inflamed many Democrats, who believed he was reopening an old debate and, at the same time, subtly tagging Quayle's political opponents with the stigma of anti-Americanism.
``It was the most intellectually shabby kind of argument,'' fumed one Democratic strategist. ``It's like taking the credentials of a philanderer and saying, `He didn't beat his wife, he didn't abuse his children, and he paid the mortgage.' It's just all beside the point.''
Democrats and many Republicans argue that the point is not whether Quayle should have served in the National Guard or whether others should have behaved differently than they did during the Vietnam era.
``Quayle performed valid if not heroic service - he certainly did as much in Vietnam as Ronald Reagan did in World War II,'' says former Navy Secretary James Webb, Jr. (Reagan made military training films in Hollywood during World War II.)
The central and only questions in the controversy, these individuals insist, are whether Quayle pulled strings to shirk his duty then, and whether he has been truthful in answering questions about that time now.
``My first response to the stuff on Quayle was `I understand 100 percent.' I was completely ready to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hell, I didn't want to be there, either,'' says former Nebraska Gov. Bob Kerrey, a Vietnam veteran who lost a leg and won the Congressional Medal of Honor while serving his Navy tour of duty. ``But then when he started saying that he would have been ready to go to Vietnam at any time, my reaction was `yeah, right.'''
Still, the controversy has been taken up by press and public with an intensity suggesting that the Quayle affair has unearthed some deep seated anxieties about the Vietnam war and a generation's responsibilities in it. ``This thing has been floating underneath the waterline for years,'' says Mr. Webb, a Vietnam veteran himself and author of several books on Vietnam. ``I think we're seeing a symbolic vetting of it.''
In a 1975 article in The Washington Monthly entitled ``What did you do in the class war, Daddy?,'' author James Fallows wrote of his own guilt over the fact that he and his upper-middle-class peers had avoided participation in a war that had ended the lives of their less well-off countrymen. Mr. Fallows said that this ``mainly white, mainly well-educated'' class succeeded in transferring its sense of guilt onto those who served.
Consequently, Fallows argued, the class that stayed home did not hail returning veterans as heroes, but as individuals who had chosen to go to Vietnam to satisfy some perverse element in their own character.
``The reaction was, `Why did you go to Vietnam? Are you stupid? Are you a baby killer? Do you get off on killing people?''' recalls Webb. Concluded Fallows in the magazine article: ``Vietnam has left us with a heritage rich in possibilities for class warfare.''
Over time, Webb observes, what Fallows referred to as ``transferred guilt'' has been transferred back to those who stayed home. A number of conservative politicians who did not serve in Vietnam echo the sentiments of Rep. Newt Gingrich (R) of Georgia, who had a student deferment during the war and now says that ``a big part of me'' wishes he had gone.
``It's ridiculous, unnecessary emotional baggage for people to feel guilty about having served in Vietnam,'' says Mr. Wheeler. ``But it's there anyway.''
One result, Webb argues, is that Vietnam service has become ``an affirmative element'' on r'esum'es - particularly those of politicians. ``It's not a sine qua non,'' says Webb, ``but it's not like it used to be where people would hide the fact of their Vietnam service altogether.''
Indeed, Wheeler notes that there are six Vietnam veterans among the 26 Vietnam-generation members of the Senate - twice the statistical average, he says. ``That could be three times [the average] after the next election,'' says Wheeler, particularly if such favored Vietnam veterans as Governor Kerrey and former Gov. Charles Robb win their Senate races in Nebraska and Virginia, respectively.
No one is suggesting that Vietnam service will become as essential for successful baby-boomer politicians as service in World War II was for an earlier generation. ``That's not the way it should be,'' says Mr. McCain. ``You've got to judge someone on the basis of their entire contribution, their whole record.''

Adam Grant (Author)
Silicon Valley's best-kept secret is not a piece of hardware, a bit of software, or a hacker. It's a former football coach named Bill Campbell, who became so indispensable that Steve Jobs went on a weekly Sunday walk with him and the Google founders said they wouldn't have made it without him. We all need coaches to improve, and this book explains what made Bill such a great one—it's a playbook for bringing out the best in others, being simultaneously supportive and challenging, and giving more than lip service to the notion of putting people first.
Tim Cook (CEO/Apple)
Bill's passion for innovation and teamwork was a gift to Apple and the world. Trillion Dollar Coach has captured his tireless spirit so future generations can learn from one of our industry's greatest leaders.
Sundar Pichai (CEO/Google)
Whenever I saw Bill, he gave me great perspective about what really matters. At the end of the day, it's the people in your life. Bill had such strong principles around community and how to bring people together. We used those principles - detailed in Trillion Dollar Coach - to form the foundation of Google's leadership training, so all of our leaders can continue to learn from Bill.
Sheryl Sandberg (COO/Facebook)
Bill shared his wisdom generously, expecting nothing back but the joy he got from teaching others. I was privileged to have him as my coach for several years. Many times since then, when asked for advice by others, I think of Bill and try to live up to the example he set.
Amazon description
The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.
Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016.
Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth—even in those at the pinnacle of their careers—inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.
Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach's principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies.

Q: Jquery Mobile datepicker event not working Hi Everyone i created an mvc application with datepicker using jquery.For example when i click a particular date the corresponding events on that will be displayed as list.The Following code snippet works fine but when i run the same page using opera mobile emulator the click event was not firing.
jquery:
jquery-ui-1.8.20.custom.css

Note:I used the following link as reference

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jquery-ui-datepicker/

If anyone give the solution,it ll great helpful to me.

@model IEnumerable<WazUpDataServicesMVC4.Model.EventViewModel>

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Calendar";
  }

 @section Header
  {
 Events

@ViewBag.Title

 <link href="@(Url.Content("~/Content/datepicker.css"))" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  $(function () {
      $('#datepicker').datepicker({
          inline: true,
          //nextText: '→',
          //prevText: '←',
          showOtherMonths: true,
          //dateFormat: 'dd MM yy',
          dayNamesMin: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat'],
          onSelect: function (date, obj) {
              if (date) {
                  $("#listLayers").find("a:[data-date!='" + date + "']").parent().parent().parent().slideUp();
                  $("#listLayers").find("a:[data-date='" + date + "']").parent().parent().parent().slideDown();
              } else {
                  $("#listLayers").find("a").parent().parent().parent().slideDown();
              }
          }

      });

  });
 </script>

}

  @foreach (var item in Model)

  {
    string display = "none";

    if (DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") == item.DateEventTo.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"))
    {
        display = "block";
    }

            @item.Description

   }

A: Your problem is most likely that jQuery mobile has used different markup for opera from whatever browser you have tested it on and it was working. I would recommend changing the lines
if (date) {
    $("#listLayers").find("a:[data-date!='" + date + "']").parent().parent().parent().slideUp();
    $("#listLayers").find("a:[data-date='" + date + "']").parent().parent().parent().slideDown();
} else {
    $("#listLayers").find("a").parent().parent().parent().slideDown();
}

To use the closest() function. If you know what element $("#listLayers").find("a").parent().parent().parent().slideDown(); should be, for example is it a div or has a class or some other known identifier you can use $("#listLayers").find("a").closest('div')

DEVN releases new "WILD" video.
Charlotte, North Carolina's R&B newcomer DEVN introduced his singular sound with the release of his debut EP St. Luke St. in July, 2021. Since then, the singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist stayed relatively quiet until the recent release of his latest single "WILD." Today, almost exactly one year since his guest feature on Dreamville rapper Lute's record "Myself", DEVN shares the official Cinecerly-directed music video for his new single. Produced by Arnold Obonyo, "the song is about being wildly in love, and romantically obsessed with someone", says DEVN. The video plays out over the track's subdued instrumentals, complimented by tinted lighting, and capped by an unexpected twist.
DEVN Releases New "Foreva" Video
"I wanted to capture that feeling on this record. I was inspired by patterns that I observed in relationships, whether that be my own or some else's… We all experience that moment of obsession and I wanted to play with that idea. We must acknowledge the fact that relationships have highs and lows, and realize that the romantically obsessive parts are passing moments, and grow with our partners past that. The video depicts what happens when we don't get past those unhealthy feelings." – DEVN

and

*IFS=: read user x1 uid gid x2 home shell < <(grep :root: /etc/passwd | head -n1)
Is there any difference between these two? What is more efficient or recommended?

Please note that, reading the /etc/passwd file is just for making an example. The focus of my question is on here strings vs. process substitution.

A: In herestrings, bash reads in the entire output of the command substitution ($(grep :root: /etc/passwd | head -n1)) to create the contents of the herestring, and then you tell it to read it again with read.
On the other hand, with process substitution, bash sets up a pipe, and then you read in the output once.

You're running bash (and two other external commands) to read in one line. At that point, efficiency has long since been defenestrated.

While we're at it, GNU grep has a -m option:

-m num
--max-count=num
Stop after the first num selected lines.

A: First note that using read without -r is to process input where \ is used to escape the field or line delimiters which is not the case of /etc/passwd. It's very rare that you would want to use read without -r.
Now as to those two forms, a note that neither are standard sh syntax. <<< is from zsh in 1991. <(...) is from ksh circa 1985 though ksh initially didn't support redirecting from/to it.
$(...) is also from ksh, but has been standardised by POSIX (as it replaces the ill-designed `...` from the Bourne shell), so is portable across sh implementations these days.
$(code) interprets the code in a subshell with the output redirected to a pipe while the parent at the same time, reads that output from the other end of the pipe and stores it in memory. Then once that command finishes, that output, stripped of the trailing newline characters (and with the NUL characters removed in bash) makes up the expansion of $(...).
If that $(...) is not quoted and is in list context, it is subject  to split+glob (split only in zsh). After <<<, it's not a list context, but still older versions of bash would still do the split part (not glob) and then join the parts with spaces. So if using bash, you'd likely want to also quote $(...) when used as target of <<<.
cmd <<< word in zsh and older versions of bash causes the shell to store word followed by a newline character into a temporary file, which is then made the stdin of the process that will execute cmd, and that tempfile deleted before cmd is executed. That's the same as happens with << EOF from the Bourne shell from the 70s. Effectively, it is exactly the same as:
cmd << EOF
word
EOF

In 5.1, bash switched from using a temporary file to using a pipe as long as the word can fit whole in the pipe buffer (and falls back to using a tempfile if not to avoid deadlocks) and makes cmd's stdin the reading end of the pipe which the shell has seeded beforehand with the word.
So cmd1 <<< "$(cmd2)" involves one or two pipes, store the whole output of cmd2 in memory, storing it again in either another pipe or a tempfile and mangles the NULs and newlines.
cmd1 < <(cmd2) is functionality equivalent to cmd2 | cmd1. cmd2's output is connected to the writing end of a pipe. Then <(...) expands to a path that identifies the other end, < that-path gets you a file descriptor to that other end. So cmd2 talks directly to cmd1 without the shell doing anything with the data.
You see this kind of construct in the bash shell specifically because in bash, contrary to AT&T ksh or zsh, in:
cmd2 | cmd1

cmd1 is run in a subshell¹, so if cmd1 is read for instance, read will only populate variables of that subshell.
So here, you would want:
IFS=: read -r user x1 uid gid x2 home shell rest_if_any_ignored < <(
  grep :root: /etc/passwd)

The head is superfluous as with -r, read will only read one line anyway². I've added a rest_if_any_ignored for future proofing in case in the future a new field is added to /etc/passwd, causing $shell to contain /bin/sh:that-field otherwise.
Portably (in sh), you can't do:
grep :root: /etc/passwd |
  IFS=: read -r user x1 uid gid x2 home shell rest_if_any_ignored

as POSIX leaves it unspecified whether read runs in a subshell (like in bash/dash...) or not (like zsh/ksh).
You can however do:
IFS=: read -r user x1 uid gid x2 home shell rest_if_any_ignored << EOF
$(grep :root: /etc/passwd | head -n1)
EOF

(here restoring the head to avoid the whole of grep's output to be stored in memory and in the tempfile/pipe).
Which is standard even if not as efficient (though as indicated by @muru, the difference for such a small input is likely negligible compared to the cost of running an external utility in a forked process).
Performance, if that mattered here, could  be improved by using builtin features of the shell to do grep's job. However, especially in bash, you'd only do that for very small input as a shell is not designed for this kind of task and is going to be a lot worse at it than grep.
while
  IFS=: read <&3 -r user x1 uid gid name home shell rest_if_any_ignored
do
  if [ "$name" = root ]; then
    do-something-with "$user" "$home"...
    break
  fi
done 3< /etc/passwd

¹ except when the lastpipe option in bash is set and the shell is non-interactive like in scripts
² see also the -m1 or --max-count=1 option of the GNU implementation of grep which would tell grep itself to stop searching after the first match. Or the portable equivalent: sed '/:root:/!d;q'


'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas and Abd b. Zam'a (Allah be pleased with them) disputed with each other over a young boy. Sa'd said: Messenger of Allah, he is the son of my brother 'Utba b. Abu Waqqas as he made it explicit that he was his son. Look at his resemblance. Abd b. Zam'a said Messenger of Allah, he is my brother as he was born on the bed of my father from his slave-girl. Allah's Messenger (way peace he upon him) looked at his resembl-. ance and found a clear resemblance with 'Utba. (But) he said: He is yours 0 'Abd (b. Zam'a), for the child is to be attributed to one on whose bed it is born, and stoning for a fornicator. Sauda bint Zam'a, O you should observe veil from him. So he did not see Sauda at all. Muhammad b. Rumh did not make a mention (of the words):" O Abd."
A hadith like this is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Uyaiyna and Ma'mar (and the words are): The child is attributed to him on whose bed he is born; but they did not mention this:" For a fornicator there is stoning."
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The child is to be attributed to one on whose bed he is born, and for a fornicator there is stoning.
A hadith like this is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira.

I dont even remember when my last visit to a Concert in the December music season was... All i know is it was lost in the past, and this concert i attended 2days back was a whole new experience for me!
There were quite a few seats empty around the hall, but they had names stuck on them. N told me those were reserved for members, who invariably either came late or dint show up at all... Dont understand this attitude of people!! Do they become high and mighty???
And then there were the hoards of elderly who could barely walk, leave alone climb stairs and they were forced to walk up and down, squeeze into a filled row to get to that one seat available at the other end... felt really bad...there was this elderly man, who had a walking stick and was made to walk literally all the way to the other end, he was shaking all the way through... Since there were no seat numbers, it was all First come first serve basis!!
The violinist had us mesmerised.... "konjithu" as we say in tamil, it was caressing our souls.... The Gatam, Mrudangam were no less.... Before we knew it, time had flown and it was 6.45 when she ended her last number..
The music lovers were so visible through the evening.. the hand movements, head nods, some armed with books on raaga, songs, and compositions.. The aunties with brochures of various concerts, already planning their next day agenda... Was quite amusing to watch..
There were a few who i am guessing are regulars, armed with their shawls, cloves[to pop in to avoid coughing or as mouth freshener], notebook pen to write down song names, and binoculars [yes, saw quite a few]..
Wait,the evening isnt over yet... How can we leave without a stop at the canteen to sample a few of the yumm treats... Ordered for Mysore bonda, but had to settle for Dosas & hot filter coffee, since the bondas were all sold out..


"Does anyone have any experience with FM systems? My son is in the first grade, and he has bilateral BAHAs. The school ordered the Amigo for him over the summer, at that time he had the slightly older model Ponto (the Pro I believe). He had surgery to place abutments over summer and to our surprise we received two new hearing aids with the surgery. I also got a Streamer. The Amigo isn't wireless and doesn't seem to be as compatible with the Ponto Plus as the Streamer.
Does anyone have experience with the different FM systems especially in the classroom setting?

The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as a "government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care." (America's Health Insurance Plans (HIAA), pg. 232). Medicaid also has enrollment programs for children with specific conditions, depending on state policy. Medicaid programs are funded jointly by the federal government and each state and the programs are administered under this partnership on a state by state basis.
Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with low income in the United States. The system can be quite complex. States establish their own systems for delivery of services under their programs. Add the fact that states have their own policies regarding coverage, and it's more than a full-time job to keep up with federal and state regulations—especially because they're constantly changing. It takes the time and care to look into each individual's case to fully understand and utilize coverage.

CEI Joins Coalition Urging President Trump to Support an Improved Trans-Pacific Partnership
Dear President Trump:
We agree with the 25 United States Senators who recently urged you to secure reforms to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that would make it a substantially better deal for the United States, leading to our ultimate participation in the agreement.
Your successful efforts to reduce taxes and regulations have made it clear that the United States is "open for business." An improved TPP could build on your success by reducing taxes and regulatory burdens that impede international commerce.
Specifically, reciprocal eliminations of tariffs — taxes on trade — and non-tariff barriers between the 11 TPP countries plus the USA would spur economic growth and create new jobs in the United States.
In addition to creating export opportunities, an improved TPP agreement can strengthen supply chains and create new opportunities for U.S. businesses and consumers to benefit from international trade.
We agree that U.S. economic interests should take priority, but believe TPP can also be an important tool to counter China's growing influence in the region and encourage market-oriented reforms.
We urge you to address any flaws in the current TPP agreement, and secure a deal that lowers the cost of consumer goods, increases the productivity of American manufacturers, and opens up new international markets for U.S. products and services.

Since heavy metal pollution is a significant aspect to aquatic ecosystems, the objective of this research work was to investigate adsorption characteristics of chitosan as an alternative adsorbent material. In this study, chitosan, synthesized from locally available shrimp type "penaeus monodon" was used to observe adsorption characteristics of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) heavy metals from aqueous solution. Batch kinetic experiment studies were conducted for changing initial pH, initial concentration of metal ions, particle size and degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan. Simplified models such as, pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra-particle diffusion models were used to analyze the experimental data. The result showed that the adsorption capacity strongly depends on pH and DD. It was clearly seen that higher adsorption of heavy metals occur at comparatively high pH and high DD. Equilibrium experimental data were analyzed by using two different isotherm models namely, Langmuir and Freundlich. The characteristic parameters for each isotherm and related correlation coefficients were determined by using mathematical modeling software. Isotherms show that adsorption process of Cd and Pb is a heterogeneous process.

POLICY WATCH: Tax relief for small firms begins to pay off
An initiative from the Chinese government to waive business tax and value-added tax for small and micro enterprises that have monthly sales of less than 20,000 yuan has drawn positive response from the community, with the policy seen encouraging more people to start their own businesses.
Shandong, for example, has announced that a total of 65.5 million yuan of tax was waived in the first month after the tax cut policy took effect from August, benefiting 130,000 registered small and micro enterprises in the province.
The local government said it has streamlined the administrative procedures for enterprises seeking qualification for the tax cut, which should help more small and micro firms. Authorities expect small and micro firms to save as much as 800 million yuan on tax over a full year under the new rule.
Thanks to the new policy, Shandong saw robust growth in the number of small and micro enterprises. A district of Jinan city, for instance, is said to have seen a 63 percent increase in small and micro enterprises since August. The newly registered enterprises, which are mostly with registered capital of less than 10,000 yuan, are in online service, e-commerce, retail and trading industries, according to a statement from the Shandong government.
In Weifang, another city in the Shandong province, small businesses have shown improved business confidence after the tax cut. More than 60 percent of 120 firms surveyed have said that will boost their production capacity, the government said. Enterprises plan to add one to 10 machines to boost their manufacturing output.
The new tax cut will also encourage more job creation and help ease the nation's employment situation. Officials in Weihai said 67 interviewed small firms were seeking to recruit more than 100 new workers in August, as the tax cut policy offered room to hire more people.
A network equipment firm said the company was actively expanding its business and seeking to add 5 new employees on top of the existing seven. Many firms are using the saving from the tax payment to boost manpower for business growth.
Wenzhou in Zhejiang province, which is well-known for its large number of entrepreneurs, also saw more than 40,000 small and micro enterprises benefit from the tax cut, with estimated annual saving seen at 34 million yuan. Qualified small and micro enterprises accounted for more than 82 percent of the total, fueling their business momentum.
The tax policy came as the nation's new leaders pledged more support for small businesses after taking office in March this year. The State Council has canceled or decentralized a total of 167 items that required central administrative approvals. The gradual cancellation and adjustment has positive and practical significance to reap the reform dividends and enhance the basic role of market forces in allocation of resources.
The special SME development fund has seen its budget being hiked to 15 billion yuan this year, from last year's level of 14.17 billion yuan. The central government has supported 20 provinces and cities to start building small and micro enterprise service platforms and offer more support to the firms for transformation and innovation.

The Niasviž uprising, or Nieśwież uprising (Polish: Powstanie nieświeskie, ) was a failed anti-Soviet pro-Polish insurrection residents of the town of Niasviž (, now Belarus. It took place on March 14–19, 1919, during the Polish-Soviet War. As a result, the victorious Bolsheviks shot five leaders of the uprising. The Niasviž Uprising was later commemorated by two monuments, one of which still exists.

Background
In early 1919, Niasviž was captured without fight by the Bolsheviks, who advanced westwards, behind German troops of the Ober Ost. In February 1919, the Polish-Soviet War began, and Polish forces moved eastwards, clashing with the Red Army. The residents of Niasviž, who anticipated the arrival of Polish troops any day, decided to start an anti-Bolshevik rebellion, headed by principal of the local grammar school, Mieczysław Wolnisty.

In the night of March 14/15, 1919, the rebels seized key buildings in the town, and liquidated local council. Some Communist leaders were killed, including commissars Rozenblum and Grynblat. Other Bolsheviks abandoned the town and headed towards Minsk, requesting help along the way.

On April 19, the Red Army re-entered Niasviž without fighting, as rebel forces were too weak, and Polish Army troops still were too far away. Soon afterwards, the Cheka arrested five Polish leaders: Mieczysław Wolnisty, Polikarp Kolenda, Józef Januszkiewicz, Konstanty Szydłowski and Stanisław Iwanowski. All were taken to the complex of former Bernardine monastery, which was used by the Soviets as a prison. On March 24, they were shot in a forest near Niasviž.

Aftermath

Following the Polish-Soviet War, Nieswiez became part of the Second Polish Republic, and two monuments, commemorating the rebellion, were built. One was located in the center of the town, and was destroyed during World War II. The other one was erected on March 24, 1926 at a local Roman Catholic cemetery, on the tomb of the five shot Polish leaders. The monument, which was founded by students and teachers of the local school, still exists. After 1944, the inscription pomordowani przez bolszewików ("murdered by the Bolsheviks") was removed by the Soviets from the tombstone. After 1990, it was renovated.

Both honey and sugar are comprised of a combination of glucose and fructose. In sugar glucose and fructose are bound together to form sucrose while in honey glucose and fructose exist independently of each other.
Certain foods and drinks. Foods that cling to your teeth for a long time — such as milk, ice cream, honey, sugar..
Research from Dr. Peter C. Molan of the University of Waikato, New Zealand, showed that certain types of honey are helpful in preventing cavities because of their antimocrobial potency.. The antibacterial properties of the honey will effect the flushing of the bad bacteria.
I found one study that compared the effect of consuming sugar vs. honey and found a smaller PH drop in the honey group than in the sugar group. The report also says that honey reduces the amount of harmful bacteria in our mouth. However, the study did not directly compare the amount of tooth decay in both groups - so it is difficult to draw a conclusion about the main question in this thread - if honey promotes tooth decay or prevents it.
So, without further ado: Does honey promote tooth decay or prevent it?
Chapter 99 – Microbiology of Dental Decay and Periodontal Disease. Loesche. Medical Microbiology. 1996.
The tooth surface normally loses some tooth mineral from the action of the acid formed by plaque bacteria after ingestion of foods containing fermentable carbohydrates. This mineral is normally replenished by the saliva between meals. However, when fermentable foods are eaten frequently, the low pH in the plaque is sustained and a net loss of mineral from the tooth occurs. This low pH selects for aciduric organisms, such as S mutans and lactobacilli, which (especially S mutans) store polysaccharide and continue to secrete acid long after the food has been swallowed.
So, we know that pH plays a major role in tooth decay. Extended exposure to an acid environment has two main effects on the oral cavity. The first is mentioned in the excerpt above: "low pH selects for aciduric organisms... which store polysaccharide and continue to secrete acid long after the food has been swallowed." This holds true for people who have low pH in their mouth from a lack of saliva production (for example, from radiation therapy), who are at a higher risk for dental caries (cavities). The second effect of low pH is alluded to in the article you cited: "the pH in the honey group rapidly recovered 10–20 min after exposure and did not drop below the critical decalcification pH of 5.5." This critical decalcification value, as it turns out, is more variable than those authors might want you to think.
What Is the Critical pH and Why Does a Tooth Dissolve in Acid? Dawes. J Can Dent Assoc. 2003.
Therefore, a tooth will dissolve in saliva or plaque fluid only if the pH is reduced to less than the critical pH. In people with low salivary concentrations of calcium and phosphate, the critical pH may be 6.5, whereas in those with high salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations, it may be 5.5... Thus, the critical pH is not a constant, because the levels of calcium and phosphate in plaque fluid vary among individuals. The more calcium and phosphate that are present in a solution, the lower its critical pH.
Clinically, there are 2 situations in which dentists place acid in contact with enamel and in which enamel dissolves... The second situation is the use of acid fluorophosphate gels, which usually contain 0.1 mol/L phosphoric acid in addition to the sodium fluoride and which have a pH of 2.3. Again, these gels contain essentially no calcium and the Ip for HA is zero, which means that the tooth will begin to dissolve. Hence, to avoid excessive enamel loss, it is important not to exceed an exposure time of 4 min with these gels.
Patients, of course, may also introduce acid into their mouths, where it can cause erosion of enamel. The most devastating acid is gastric juice, which contains hydrochloric acid and low concentrations of calcium and phosphate and which has a pH of about 1. Other sources of acid include fruit juices and soft drinks, which have great potential to cause erosion because many of them have a pH of less than 3.
Effectiveness of three mouthwashes – Manuka honey, Raw honey, and Chlorhexidine on plaque and gingival scores of 12–15‑year‑old school children: A randomized controlled field trial. Singhal et al. J Ind Soc Peridon. 2018.
Among the three types of mouthwash tested, 0.2% CHX was most effective in reduction of plaque and gingival scores. About 40% MH and 20% RH mouthwash also effectively decreased the amount of plaque and gingivitis from 0 day to 22nd day. Within the limits and scope of the study, it can be safely concluded that both RH and MH may be used as an adjunct to mechanical therapy for achieving a significant reduction in inflammatory periodontal changes.
An important element of these trials is that they were very short-term and do far more to show inhibited bacterial growth than inhibited tooth decay. Remember – the low pH-environment itself can erode enamel, and we can see that the purported pH of the honey rinses falls below the upper threshold named in the "Critical pH" paper, meaning that some individuals will experience dental erosion from >5-10 minutes of exposure to the honey rinse (I'm estimating this duration from the 4-minute acid fluorphosphate gel treatment at pH 2.3).
Evaluation of Antimicrobial Action of Honey on Cariogenic Bacteria - An in vitro Study. Rakshanaa et al. J Pharm Sci & Res. 2017.
The present study concluded that honey has antimicrobial effect on streptococcus mutans after a definite time interval. Results can be due to production of hydrogen peroxide, inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity or presence of polyphenols in honey. All these factors are responsible for antimicrobial effect of honey on streptoccocus mutans.
Effects of honey, glucose, and fructose on the enamel demineralization depth. Ahmadi-Motamayel et al. J Dent Sci. 2012.
In this study, we used fresh natural honey extracted from the honeycomb. However, different honeys from various sources may have different properties.
This study had a few limitations. First, the measurements were done by one observer rather than two observers, and the results might thus have been prone to a measurement bias. Second, the study was conducted in vitro. This may limit the generalizability of the results to clinical applications.
In conclusion, results of this study demonstrated that honey had lower caries activity than fructose and glucose. However, further evidence is required to demonstrate whether this food has any clinical application for preventing and reducing dental caries.
After this relatively comprehensive review, we know that honey is anti-bacterial and less cariogenic than other sugars (at least in vitro), but how cariogenic is honey itself? This was tested in desalivated rats to determine similar effects in human infants (breast/bottlefeeding recreates this low-saliva environment, but we can extrapolate these findings to an adult human's mouth, since the described enamel effects are consistent regardless of age).
Comparison of the Cariogenicity of Cola, Honey, Cow Milk, Human Milk, and Sucrose. Bowen et al. Pediatrics. 2005.
Results. Cola, sucrose, and honey were by far the most cariogenic. In addition, cola and honey induced considerable erosion. Human milk was significantly more cariogenic than cow milk probably because of its lower mineral content and higher level of lactose.
In surprise, tooth decay afflicts hunter-gatherers. Gibbons. Science. 2017.
Hadza men in the bush hunt large and small game and gather honey and bee larvae. The women gather baobab fruit, berries, figs, drupes, and legumes, and they dig up fibrous tubers. In contrast, the Hadza who live in or near villages eat rice, maize, and beans, along with whatever meat and plants they can hunt and gather. They also drink homemade maize alcohol.
By comparing the teeth of 25 Hadza adults who live in the bush, 25 who live in villages, and another 25 who split their time between locations, Crittenden and Ungar found that 52% of the teeth of full-time male hunter-gatherers had cavities, compared with just 35% of the village men's teeth. The reason? "Men in the bush are consuming tremendous amounts of liquid honey," Crittenden says.

One month after his memorable stage win at Volta a Catalunya Thomas De Gendt has conquered another magnificent victory.
Pretty soon after the start of the stage in Delémont five riders escaped the bunch; among those riders Victor Campenaerts and Thomas De Gendt. The Lotto Soudal duo was accompanied by Nathan Brown, Matteo Fabbro and Andriy Grivko. The break got more than seven minutes advantage. After first Fabbro had been distanced due to a mechanical, Grivko was dropped uphill; that way only Brown was left at the side of Campenaerts and De Gendt. A few kilometres after the first crossing of the finish line in Yverdon-les-Bains, which was the start of one lap of 34.3 kilometres, Campenaerts had to let go of his companions.
About five kilometres further De Gendt left Brown behind. The peloton was no threat anymore by that time. De Gendt, atop on his Ridley equipped with Campagnolo Super Record EPS electronic groupset and with Campagnolo Bora Ultra full carbon wheels, finished solo with 2'04" advantage over Sonny Colbrelli. After today's breakaway De Gendt is the new owner of the sprint jersey, and he was also awarded the prize of the most combative rider of the day.

Secure the rapid expansion of campus wireless nets.
Drew Robb
Higher education institutions find meeting the demand for wireless connectivity a tough challenge as students, faculty and staff clamor for the same wireless capabilities on campus that they have at home. As a result, colleges and universities have been installing or expanding networks to supply wireless access on a massive scale.
For instance, Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., currently has almost 1,000 access points and has plans for 500 more. Similarly, Philadelphia's Drexel University is ramping up deployment of APs across its campus this fall. "We are moving from 400 APs to 1,000 this year and then to about 1,600 next summer," says Kenneth Blackney, associate vice president of core technology infrastructure at Drexel.
Huge increases in APs magnify the risk of a security breach for each institution. University databases, with their concentration of students' financial data, e-mail addresses and Social Security numbers, are prized targets for hackers. The more people allowed on the network, the greater the exposure to potential misuse and the greater the need for network protection.
'X' Marks the Spot
Universities rely on a range of technology — and sometimes just plain horse sense — to protect their wireless facilities. Chris Hart, a network engineer at Northwestern, found 802.11x authentication ideal for limiting access. He implemented the capability using a Juniper Networks Steel-Belted Radius server and can use it to authenticate both wired and wireless networks.
Hart refuses to operate an unauthenticated network and believes it is vital to tie every device to a specific user on the network. "Each user puts in their name and password, so you link them to a specific MAC address or IP address," says Hart. "That allows the security team to contact the individual directly concerning any issues."
The user ID and password are part of the school's central directory services for the network. The Radius server obtains the data from Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers to determine whether access should be granted, he says.
Establish Control
With so many APs to monitor, universities must maintain as much control as possible. Northwestern employs the AirWave Wireless Management Suite to manage network settings, poll both Cisco and Aruba APs and gather statistics. It also uses AirWave to detect rogue APs. Students in residence halls, for example, sometimes set up their own unauthorized wireless APs, further exposing the university's network to security risks. "We pay attention to ensure that all APs are ours," says Hart. "By adding another 475 Aruba APs to improve coverage in the residence halls, we expect to see a marked reduction in rogue incidents."
Consider the Complications
The wireless arena has diverse security standards and protocols, from the old wired equivalent privacy (WEP) to wireless protected access (WPA and WPA2). With such an abundance, changing protocols can complicate network management, especially if multiple changes are made over a short period, say university IT officials.
Three years ago, for example, Northwestern had to decide whether to move from requiring Vitual Private Messaging (WEP was not used) to WPA or WPA2. Hart opted for the more secure WPA2 instead of first transitioning to WPA gear.
Paul DeBeasi, a senior analyst at Burton Group, agrees. "A surprising number of organizations still use the insecure WEP protocol for wireless security," he says. "They should migrate their networks to WPA2."
Universities are moving away from WEP, finding ways to transition. "We tell wireless users to use Drexel's VPN to augment WEP, or to pass private data only if their applications provide another layer of security such as web browsing with SSL," says Blackney.
By moving away from WEP, Drexel had the option of selecting WPA or going directly to WPA2. Unlike Northwestern, however, Drexel chose to go to WPA, which is built into many types of wireless gear.
"Some cell phones, PDAs and gaming consoles don't yet support WPA2, and we don't want to have to tell students or faculty members they can't use such devices," says Blackney. "Our policy is no user left behind, if we can help it."
Change the Spectrum

Drexel is implementing Aruba 120-series APs as part of a broad expansion of its wireless network. The previous network operated on the 2.4 gigahertz spectrum, but Drexel is using the new APs at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. While the effective range of the higher frequency is reduced, the choice solves other problems.
"Bluetooth, microwave ovens and other sources can interfere with 2.4GHz, and it is the same wavelength used in most consumer-grade APs available in retail outlets," says Blackney. "Five GHz currently has less consumer-grade competition, so in effect we are moving to a quieter neighborhood."
Even though using the higher frequency means less power at the same distance, Blackney predicts notebook computers will be able to hear the 5GHz APs anyway because of the reduced background noise. The Aruba APs support 802.11n, boosting performance compared with the 802.11b/g network.
Blackney says 2.4GHz provides only three channels that don't overlap, whereas 5GHz offers 12 channels. "That means that we can saturate a lecture hall so that fewer students need to share each AP," he says.
Set Policy on Wireless Rights
Drexel uses three Aruba Mobility Controllers with Policy Enforcement Firewall to run its APs. This allows wireless rights to be assigned to each user ID. By setting policy at the controller level, the university is able to handle different levels of authorization with relative ease.
"Many are now using controller-based architectures with lightweight APs," says DeBeasi. "A controller provides a network management focal point that simplifies, automates and centralizes AP management."
Pepperdine University is another proponent of policy management. It uses Campus Manager by Bradford Networks to identify users before allowing them onto the network.
"We set policy on who gets onto the network, what privileges they have and what segments of the network they can visit," says Tim Chester, Pepperdine CIO. "Visitors are segmented away from our main wireless network."
Pepperdine installed 161 Wi-Fi arrays at the school's Malibu, Calif., campus. The school's network encompasses 80 buildings across five sites and about 10,000 users. The core of the network is built upon a number of Cisco Systems routers and switches.
Currently, Pepperdine manually configures all student machines at the beginning of each semester to verify wireless security settings, ensure the Trend Micro antivirus software is up to date and apply all necessary security patches.
"The next step is to tie in the Bradford authentication management software with antivirus and patch management," says Chester, "so that every time a student attempts to log onto the network, their antivirus signatures and patches are applied before they are granted access."
Many paths lead up the same mountain when it comes to wireless network security. Universities and colleges use a combination of approaches, such as authentication, network scanning and acceptable-use policies. Choosing the path, however, is not as important as deciding to make the trip in the first place.
Cooperation is Key
Tim Chester, CIO at Pepperdine University, doesn't hesitate when asked to name the most important ingredient of a successful wireless security plan: It's teamwork, he says.
"Having a collaborative, interdisciplinary team has really helped us to implement security measures and wireless changes in a seamless manner," Chester says.
The university's networking practice group consists of representatives from network engineering, information security, server management and the student body. The team is involved in product and policy implementation and ensures that a proper balance is maintained between security requirements and ease of access.
"Using a committee like this moves you from having to react to issues among the user community to dealing with them proactively," says Chester.


India is an ethnically diverse and culturally vibrant country. If you're thinking about moving to India you'll probably need to find a job, and with a large population and booming cities this country provides a lot of options for expats. This guide can help you navigate the interview process in India so that you can land your dream job and make your relocation abroad.
You'll also want to do some research on the industry by looking at other companies in your field. Reading biographies/backgrounds of other people who have held the job may also help. It's also good do some research on the job's salary range, and you'll want to map out your route to the interview so that you arrive on time. Indian interviewers won't be impressed if you're are late to the interview.
How do I do a job interview via Skype?
The company you're interviewing with might be open to a Skype interview or other video conferencing interview, especially if you're living abroad. You should thoroughly prepare for this by doing the same research you'd do for a face-to-face interview. You'll also want to look presentable and choose a good quiet spot to make the call with no distractions. You should also test your internet connection, headset, and microphone ahead of time to ensure the interview goes smoothly.
What are common Indian interview questions?
What can you bring to the job that others cannot?
What questions should I ask in an interview?
What's a typical day in this role?
What are the key functions and responsibilities?
You should avoid asking about salary or any kind of benefits until you're offered the position. It can be seen as presumptuous before you have an offer on-hand.
What's the interview etiquette in India?
The interviewers are likely to be very formal with you and you should reciprocate this behaviour. You probably be asked direct questions in an Indian interview, and you should give succinct and formal answers. Throughout the interview you should maintain good manners and good posture to demonstrate your interest.
You should greet your Indian interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile. Be polite and introduce yourself confidently.
Generally, men in India will wear suits and ties to interviews and women will wear suits, blouses, long skirts or saris. However, you may want to research your company's dress code or culture ahead of time. Business casual is becoming the norm and more acceptable in some industries. In any case, you should limit accessories and keep make-up and hair color natural looking.
It's common practice to negotiate your salary in India after you're offered the job. These negotiations can be sensitive and difficult. You should treat any salary offer with respect before you counter it. You should do research on the salary levels for your position and industry so that you can negotiate well.
Once you accept the job and its salary, the next step will be to open up your bank account in India. This can be a tricky process if you're not already in the country, and moving money with traditional banks can be expensive. For a cheaper and easier alternative, you may want to try TransferWise to help you move your money abroad. TransferWise also offers international money transfer services that are cheaper and fairer than traditional banks, which often have hidden fees and use high exchange rates.
Sound too good to be true? Sign up for TransferWise now and see the savings for yourself.
Do I need a visa/work permit?
You probably need a visa to work in India. Confirm the employment from your company in order to apply for this visa. You should discuss visa details with your new employer after they offer you the job. For more information on visa requirements for India, check with your government or the Indian embassy or consulate in your country.
How do I end the interview?
At the end of the interview, you should thank your interviewer for their time and ask about any follow up processes. Maintain your formal and polite mannerisms until you leave the building. You should also write a thank you note to your interviewer after the interview. Indian employers regard this as a good indication of your interest, and it's the polite thing to do.
Finding the right job can be difficult, and interviewing is always nerve wracking, especially in a different country. India offers a lot of opportunities for expats looking to relocate and once you find the job that's right for you, you can use this guide to help you prepare for your interview.


Our solutions can be implemented in medical applications such as surgical operations and custom implant fabrication. Physical models can be printed prior to surgical operations and help surgeons to organize or even rehearse the procedure. Also, a 3d model can help surgical teams to communicate with each other more efficiently. This can give a boost up to their confidence which in turn can increase the probability of success. In the case of custom implant manufacturing, our technology can speed up the whole process in a cost-efficient way.

Q: Spring @Scheduled executing the job twice than the expected number of times I am trying to run some job in my Spring MVC application periodically. Based on tutorials online I set up the Scheduled Job as follows:
Here is the AppInitializer (I have no setup in the XMLs):
public class AppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        rootContext.register(JPAConfiguration.class);

        servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext dispatcherServlet = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        dispatcherServlet.register(MvcConfig.class);

        ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = servletContext.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(dispatcherServlet));
        dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        dispatcher.addMapping("/");

    }
}

Here is the configuration file:
@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.prime.tutorials"})
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.prime.tutorials.model", "com.prime.tutorials.repository"})
public class JPAConfiguration {

    @Value("${jdbcURL}")
    private transient String jdbcURL;

    @Value("${dbPassword}")
    private transient String dbPassword;

    /* The usual stuff here, let me know if you want me post that as well */

}

This is the class handling the Scheduled job:
@Service
public class ScheduledJobService {

    @Autowired
    private PrimeRepository primeRepository

    @Scheduled(fixedDelayString = "${fixedDelay.in.milliseconds:10000}")
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Current time is :: " + Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    }

}

As you can see the fixed delay is set to 10 secs but my job is running every 5 seconds. I am not able to understand why this is happening. I went through the questions posted in regards to this topic before but I havent been able to find a matching solution.
Other posts suggest that in such cases the beans might be getting initialized twice but based on my config I am not sure how that is happening.
Similar Question
This question above seems like an exact duplicate of the what I am asking but the OP hasnt posted his/her configuration or setup. Most of the answers suggest double initialization of the components which I am not sure is the case with my application.
Current time is :: Sun Jun 10 22:53:16 EDT 2018
Current time is :: Sun Jun 10 22:53:22 EDT 2018
Current time is :: Sun Jun 10 22:53:26 EDT 2018
Current time is :: Sun Jun 10 22:53:32 EDT 2018
Current time is :: Sun Jun 10 22:53:36 EDT 2018

EDIT-1
Based on suggestion from Jennifer I do see that two instances are calling the run method.
EDIT-2
M.Deinum's guess was absolutely right, my MvcConfig.java was annotated by @ComponentScan which made the Schedule Job run twice. But after removing that annotation from the MvcConfig.java my end-points stopped working. What am I missing here..

A: This typically happens when you create more than one instance of the Scheduled class (ScheduledJobService). A common cause is that the Spring context is created more than once.
Add this to the run method to see if you have more than one instance:
public void run() {
   System.out.println(this + " Current time is :: " + Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
}

You will be able to see in the output if its more than one instance.
To make sure its not the property value, try without a hard coded value of 10000.
@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 10000)

A: The problem is that you, probably, have the same component scan in both your JPAConfiguration and MvcConfig. The result is that you basically are loading your whole application twice (so unless you want to have memory-issues, weird transactional issues etc. that is the way to go).
What you want is that your ContextLoaderListener (the root context) loads everything but web related beans and the DispatcherServlet should load only web related beans (views, controllers, advices etc.).
The @ComponentScan has properties with which you can control this. In the JPAConfiguration add some excludeFilters on the MvcConfig disable the defaults and add some includeFilters.
Your @ComponentScan for the JPAConfiguration should contain the following:
@ComponentScan(
        basePackages = {"com.prime.tutorials"},
        excludeFilters = {
            @ComponentScan.Filter( { Controller.class, ControllerAdvice.class })
})

Your MvcConfig you should use the same but as an includeFilters instead and disable the default filters.
@ComponentScan(
        basePackages = {"com.prime.tutorials"},
        useDefaultFilters = false,
        includeFilters = {
            @ComponentScan.Filter( { Controller.class, ControllerAdvice.class })
})

You don't want to do different base packages as that would be quite cumbersome. It is also IMHO that you shouldn't use technical separation as a way of creating packages (see also https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/258196/java-application-structure-horizontal-vs-vertical-split/258197#258197) .
