Q: How to find cluster node ip address Minikube has the specific node ip address (192.168.99.100) for single cluster, if I using kubeadm to create many nodes cluster, what should I do to find this ip address?

A: To get informations about Kubernetes objects you should use kubectl get <resource> or kubectl describe <resource>.
In docs

Display one or many resources
Prints a table of the most important information about the specified resources. You can filter the list using a label selector and the --selector flag. If the desired resource type is namespaced you will only see results in your current namespace unless you pass --all-namespaces.

If you will check manual for kubectl get you will get information about -o flag.

-o, --output='': Output format. One of:
  json|yaml|wide|name|custom-columns=...|custom-columns-file=...|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=...
  See custom columns [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/#custom-columns], golang template
  [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template
  [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jsonpath].

Thats mean you can get output in YAMLs or JSON format. Detailed information can be found in this doc.
As @Bernard Halas mentioned, you can just use kubectl get nodes -o wide.
Another option is use describe with grep. -A will print number lines of trailing context. Its helpful if you need to get list about information per node.
$ kubectl describe node | grep Addresses: -A 4
Addresses:
  InternalIP:   10.164.0.63
  ExternalIP:   35.204.67.223
  InternalDNS:  gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-g44z.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
  Hostname:     gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-g44z.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
--
Addresses:
  InternalIP:   10.164.0.61
  ExternalIP:   35.204.63.113
  InternalDNS:  gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-gtpj.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
  Hostname:     gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-gtpj.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
--
Addresses:
  InternalIP:   10.164.0.62
  ExternalIP:   35.204.202.107
  InternalDNS:  gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-r4dw.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
  Hostname:     gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-r4dw.c.composite-rune-239911.internal

You can also use YAML or JSON format. Output will be similar to previous one.
$ kubectl get nodes -o yaml | grep addresses: -A 8
    addresses:
    - address: 10.164.0.63
      type: InternalIP
    - address: 35.204.67.223
      type: ExternalIP
    - address: gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-g44z.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
      type: InternalDNS
    - address: gke-test-default-pool-d11b1330-g44z.c.composite-rune-239911.internal
      type: Hostname
...

In addition if you will need some specific output (only information you need and ar not print as default) you can use custom columns. It's based on YAML format.
$ kubectl get pods -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,NS:.metadata.namespace,HostIP:.status.hostIP,PodIP:status.podIP,REQ_CPU:.spec.containers[].resources.requests.cpu
Name                          NS        HostIP        PodIP       REQ_CPU
httpd-5d8cbbcd67-gtzcx        default   10.164.0.63   10.32.2.7   100m
nginx-7cdbd8cdc9-54dds        default   10.164.0.62   10.32.1.5   100m
nginx-7cdbd8cdc9-54ggt        default   10.164.0.62   10.32.1.3   100m
nginx-7cdbd8cdc9-bz86v        default   10.164.0.62   10.32.1.4   100m
nginx-7cdbd8cdc9-zcvrf        default   10.164.0.62   10.32.1.2   100m
nginx-test-59df8dcb7f-hlrcr   default   10.164.0.63   10.32.2.4   100m

A: generally, there is no such thing as a single IP of a kubernetes cluster. Minikube has it, because it's a special 1 node case. Most production clusters will be one way or another operating with many network-internal, cluster-internal and external IP addresses. For example each node is usually deployed on a separate (virtual) machine that has it's own IP address, either external or network-internal (like 10.x.y.z or 192.168.x.y) depending on your network setup. Moreover, many kubernetes objects, like pods or services have their IPs also (cluster-internal or external).
Now the question is what do you need the IP for:

*

*if you are looking for the address of your kubernetes API endpoint server (the endpoint to which kubectl talks) then in case of clusters created manually with kubeadm, this will be the IP of the master node that you created with kubeadm init command (assuming single master case). See this official doc for details. To talk to your cluster using kubectl you will need some authorization data except its IP: see subsequent sections of the mentioned document how to obtain it.

*if you are looking for the IP of a LoadBalancer type service, then it will be reported among lots of other stuff in the output of kubectl get service name-of-your-service -o yaml or kubectl describe service name-of-your-service. Note however that clusters created with kubeadm don't provide external load-balancers on their own (that's why they are called external) and if you intend to setup a fully functional production cluster manually, you will need to use something like MetalLB in addition.

*if you are looking for IPs of NodePort type services then these will be all the IPs of worker node (virtual) machines that you assimilated into you cluster by running kubeadm join command on them. if you don't remember them then you can use kubectl get nodes -o wide as suggested in the other answer.

A: This command display the nodes name, private and public IP addresses.
kubectl get nodes -o wide | awk -v OFS='\t\t' '{print $1, $6, $7}'

A: This should be fairly straightforward: kubectl get nodes -o wide

A: Here's a command that should show the internal IP addresses of each node in the cluser:
ubuntu@astrocyte:~$ kubectl get nodes -o yaml | grep -- "- address:"
    - address: 192.168.1.6
    - address: astrocyte
    - address: 192.168.1.20
    - address: axon2.local
    - address: 192.168.1.7
    - address: axon3.local

It also shows hostnames, if you have them configured

Prof. Jean-Francois Etter Interview: Long-Term Vaping is Not a Public Health Problem
A new study looking at the long-term behavior of vapers was published in Addictive Behaviors last month, surveying users on both their vaping and smoking habits to provide insight into how vapers change over a 12-month period.
The research comes from Prof. Jean-Françios Etter (Professor of Public Health at the University of Geneva) and Dr. Chris Bullen (Clinical Trials Research Unit, University of Auckland), and you can read a detailed summary here. We caught up with lead author Professor Jean-Françios Etter for a short interview about the study, its findings and the wider implications of the research.
What would you say was the most important finding of your study?
JFE: This is one of the very first studies of vapers with 12 months follow-up. We found that very few ex-smokers relapsed to smoking, and that many smokers (i.e. dual users) either reduced or quit smoking after 12 months.
You acknowledge in the paper that the recruitment methods used may have led to an unrepresentative sample, do you think their increased motivation to quit smoking as a group impacts on the weight of the findings?
JFE: Yes, it is quite possible, these results should be considered as exploratory, and preliminary. Studies in representative samples of vapers are warranted. But because this is one of the very first studies of this type, the results are valuable, and encouraging.
Do you think vapers in general are inclined to exaggerate the benefits of e-cigs in surveys like this?
JFE: It is not impossible, in particular because many participants were recruited on e-cig forums, where many participants are pro-e-cig activists. But my experience with surveys suggests that most people are honest.
Your findings show that dedicated vapers don't really decrease their consumption over time – would you say that this shows that e-cigarettes merely prolong addiction, as many anti-smoking groups allege?
JFE: Our data (and other studies) suggest that e-cigs are not very addictive, much less addictive than tobacco cigs. The conventional definition of addiction has two components (compulsive use in spite of harm). Because e-cigs do not cause harm, it is more appropriate to talk about compulsive use rather than of addiction in the case of e-cigs. There are thousands of ex-smokers who use the nicotine gum compulsively, several months or years after quitting smoking, and this is not a public health problem either.
If further studies confirmed that most vapers continue to vape for extended periods of time, would this mean e-cigs are ineffective for their intended purpose? What would the consequences be for future safety research?
JFE: Even if there are long-term vapers, this is not a problem, as long as they quit smoking. The problem is combusted tobacco, not nicotine. At the dosage used by vapers or users of nicotine gums or patches, nicotine is not toxic. Long term vaping is not a public health problem; not any more than long term use of nicotine gums.
From your sample, it appears that dual users are actually fairly likely to quit smoking within a year – do you think the concern from anti-smoking groups about the potential risks of dual use is justified?
JFE: Dual use seems to have two consequences: reduced smoking, and eventual smoking cessation (in about half the dual users after one year in our data). This suggests that dual use should be considered positively.
No ex-smokers in your study who were vaping relapsed to daily smoking – why do you think the relapse rate is so low? Do e-cigs really seem to be that effective, or is it likely to be just a quirk of the sample selection process?
JFE: Both elements played a role here, But the effect is so large (normally 95% of ex-smokers relapse within one year) that it cannot be attributed only to selection problems, there must be a real effect here. E-cigs most probably prevent relapse in former smokers.
Is there any aspect of the behavior of vapers which you think particularly warrants further investigation?
JFE: Yes, their behavior change over time is almost undocumented; many hypotheses need to be tested (whether they switch from cig-a-likes to tank systems over time, whether they change nicotine concentrations in liquids over time, e.t.c.). Many questions remain unanswered.
We'd like to thank Professor Etter again for his time – and hope to see more interesting research like this in future! He has another long-term survey in the pipelines, which hopes to offer further insight into vapers' long-term behavior, but it's currently in need of more participants. If you're over 18 and have vaped before, you can participate in the research by following this link!

It is clear that brain functions are not determined by individual neurons but by many coherent networks interacting. Our lab focuses on understanding the balancing act between cells and circuits that integrate cognitive and motor control of behavioral functions. To do this we use a range of electrophysiological, genetic, anatomical and behavioral techniques in rodent models. We are particularly interested in how modulatory clusters, such as locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons, alter activity in distal target networks and modify behavioral output. We are also interested in how the loss of specific neural populations in neurodegenerative disorders impacts broader neural networks and motor function. Our overarching goals are to characterize the neural and physiological mechanisms underlying cognitive and motor behavior and apply this information in identifying treatments for circuit dysfunction in disease.

15 Rule Based Architecture for Collaborative Multidisciplinary Aircraft Design Optimisation
Authors: Nickolay Jelev, Andy Keane, Carren Holden, András Sóbester
In aircraft design, the jump from the conceptual to preliminary design stage introduces a level of complexity which cannot be realistically handled by a single optimiser, be that a human (chief engineer) or an algorithm. The design process is often partitioned along disciplinary lines, with each discipline given a level of autonomy. This introduces a number of challenges including, but not limited to: coupling of design variables; coordinating disciplinary teams; handling of large amounts of analysis data; reaching an acceptable design within time constraints. A number of classical Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) architectures exist in academia specifically designed to address these challenges. Their limited use in the industrial aircraft design process has inspired the authors of this paper to develop an alternative strategy based on well established ideas from Decision Support Systems. The proposed rule based architecture sacrifices possibly elusive guarantees of convergence for an attractive return in simplicity. The method is demonstrated on analytical and aircraft design test cases and its performance is compared to a number of classical distributed MDO architectures.
Keywords: Multidisciplinary design optimisation, rule based architecture, aircraft design, decision support system.

13 Algebraic Specification of Serializability for Partitioned Transactions
Authors: Walter Hussak, John Keane
The usual correctness condition for a schedule of concurrent database transactions is some form of serializability of the transactions. For general forms, the problem of deciding whether a schedule is serializable is NP-complete. In those cases other approaches to proving correctness, using proof rules that allow the steps of the proof of serializability to be guided manually, are desirable. Such an approach is possible in the case of conflict serializability which is proved algebraically by deriving serial schedules using commutativity of non-conflicting operations. However, conflict serializability can be an unnecessarily strong form of serializability restricting concurrency and thereby reducing performance. In practice, weaker, more general, forms of serializability for extended models of transactions are used. Currently, there are no known methods using proof rules for proving those general forms of serializability. In this paper, we define serializability for an extended model of partitioned transactions, which we show to be as expressive as serializability for general partitioned transactions. An algebraic method for proving general serializability is obtained by giving an initial-algebra specification of serializable schedules of concurrent transactions in the model. This demonstrates that it is possible to conduct algebraic proofs of correctness of concurrent transactions in general cases.
Keywords: Algebraic Specification, Partitioned Transactions, Serializability.

Authors: Ahmet Tekcan
Let p be a prime number, Fp be a finite field and t ∈ F*p= Fp- {0}. In this paper we obtain some properties of ellipticcurves Ep,t: y2= y2= x3- t2x over Fp. In the first sectionwe give some notations and preliminaries from elliptic curves. In the second section we consider the rational points (x, y) on Ep,t. Wegive a formula for the number of rational points on Ep,t over Fnp for an integer n ≥ 1. We also give some formulas for the sum of x?andy?coordinates of the points (x, y) on Ep,t. In the third section weconsider the rank of Et: y2= x3- t2x and its 2-isogenous curve Et over Q. We proved that the rank of Etand Etis 2 over Q. In the last section we obtain some formulas for the sums Σt∈F?panp,t for an integer n ≥ 1, where ap,t denote the trace of Frobenius.
Keywords: Elliptic curves over finite fields, rational points onelliptic curves, rank, trace of Frobenius.

10 Kernel Matching versus Inverse Probability Weighting: A Comparative Study
Authors: Andy Handouyahia, Tony Haddad, Frank Eaton
Recent quasi-experimental evaluation of the Canadian Active Labour Market Policies (ALMP) by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) has provided an opportunity to examine alternative methods to estimating the incremental effects of Employment Benefits and Support Measures (EBSMs) on program participants. The focus of this paper is to assess the efficiency and robustness of inverse probability weighting (IPW) relative to kernel matching (KM) in the estimation of program effects. To accomplish this objective, the authors compare pairs of 1,080 estimates, along with their associated standard errors, to assess which type of estimate is generally more efficient and robust. In the interest of practicality, the authorsalso document the computationaltime it took to produce the IPW and KM estimates, respectively.
Keywords: Treatment effect, causal inference, observational studies, Propensity score based matching, Kernel Matching, Inverse Probability Weighting, Estimation methods for incremental effect.
9 Localizing Acoustic Touch Impacts using Zip-stuffing in Complex k-space Domain
Authors: R. Bremananth, Andy W. H. Khong, A. Chitra
Visualizing sound and noise often help us to determine an appropriate control over the source localization. Near-field acoustic holography (NAH) is a powerful tool for the ill-posed problem. However, in practice, due to the small finite aperture size, the discrete Fourier transform, FFT based NAH couldn-t predict the activeregion- of-interest (AROI) over the edges of the plane. Theoretically few approaches were proposed for solving finite aperture problem. However most of these methods are not quite compatible for the practical implementation, especially near the edge of the source. In this paper, a zip-stuffing extrapolation approach has suggested with 2D Kaiser window. It is operated on wavenumber complex space to localize the predicted sources. We numerically form a practice environment with touch impact databases to test the localization of sound source. It is observed that zip-stuffing aperture extrapolation and 2D window with evanescent components provide more accuracy especially in the small aperture and its derivatives.
Keywords: Acoustic source localization, Near-field acoustic holography (NAH), FFT, Extrapolation, k-space wavenumber errors.
8 Variable Step-Size Affine Projection Algorithm With a Weighted and Regularized Projection Matrix
Authors: Tao Dai, Andy Adler, Behnam Shahrrava
This paper presents a forgetting factor scheme for variable step-size affine projection algorithms (APA). The proposed scheme uses a forgetting processed input matrix as the projection matrix of pseudo-inverse to estimate system deviation. This method introduces temporal weights into the projection matrix, which is typically a better model of the real error's behavior than homogeneous temporal weights. The regularization overcomes the ill-conditioning introduced by both the forgetting process and the increasing size of the input matrix. This algorithm is tested by independent trials with coloured input signals and various parameter combinations. Results show that the proposed algorithm is superior in terms of convergence rate and misadjustment compared to existing algorithms. As a special case, a variable step size NLMS with forgetting factor is also presented in this paper.
Keywords: Adaptive signal processing, affine projection algorithms, variable step-size adaptive algorithms, regularization.
7 AINA: Disney Animation Information as Educational Resources
Authors: Piedad Garrido, Fernando Repulles, Andy Bloor, Julio A. Sanguesa, Jesus Gallardo, Vicente Torres, Jesus Tramullas
With the emergence and development of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), Higher Education is experiencing rapid changes, not only in its teaching strategies but also in student's learning skills. However, we have noticed that students often have difficulty when seeking innovative, useful, and interesting learning resources for their work. This is due to the lack of supervision in the selection of good query tools. This paper presents AINA, an Information Retrieval (IR) computer system aimed at providing motivating and stimulating content to both students and teachers working on different areas and at different educational levels. In particular, our proposal consists of an open virtual resource environment oriented to the vast universe of Disney comics and cartoons. Our test suite includes Disney's long and shorts films, and we have performed some activities based on the Just In Time Teaching (JiTT) methodology. More specifically, it has been tested by groups of university and secondary school students.
Keywords: Information retrieval, animation, educational resources, JiTT.
6 Impact of ISO 9000 on Time-based Performance: An Event Study
Authors: Chris K. Y. Lo, Andy C. L. Yeung, T. C. Edwin Cheng
ISO 9000 is the most popular and widely adopted meta-standard for quality and operational improvements. However, only limited empirical research has been conducted to examine the impact of ISO 9000 on operational performance based on objective and longitudinal data. To reveal any causal relationship between the adoption of ISO 9000 and operational performance, we examined the timing and magnitude of change in time-based performance as a result of ISO 9000 adoption. We analyzed the changes in operating cycle, inventory days, and account receivable days prior and after the implementation of ISO 9000 in 695 publicly listed manufacturing firms. We found that ISO 9000 certified firms shortened their operating cycle time by 5.28 days one year after the implementation of ISO 9000. In the long-run (3 years after certification), certified firms showed continuous improvement in time-based efficiency, and experienced a shorter operating cycle time of 11 days than that of non-certified firms. There was an average of 6.5% improvement in operating cycle time for ISO 9000 certified firms. Both inventory days and account receivable days showed similar significant improvements after the implementation of ISO 9000, too.
Keywords: ISO 9000, Operating Cycle, Time-based efficiency.
5 Advanced Micromanufacturing for Ultra Precision Part by Soft Lithography and Nano Powder Injection Molding
Authors: Andy Tirta, Yus Prasetyo, Eung-Ryul. Baek, Chul-Jin. Choi , Hye-Moon. Lee
Recently, the advanced technologies that offer high precision product, relative easy, economical process and also rapid production are needed to realize the high demand of ultra precision micro part. In our research, micromanufacturing based on soft lithography and nanopowder injection molding was investigated. The silicone metal pattern with ultra thick and high aspect ratio succeeds to fabricate Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro mold. The process followed by nanopowder injection molding (PIM) by a simple vacuum hot press. The 17-4ph nanopowder with diameter of 100 nm, succeed to be injected and it forms green sample microbearing with thickness, microchannel and aspect ratio is 700μm, 60μm and 12, respectively. Sintering process was done in 1200 C for 2 hours and heating rate 0.83oC/min. Since low powder load (45% PL) was applied to achieve green sample fabrication, ~15% shrinkage happen in the 86% relative density. Several improvements should be done to produce high accuracy and full density sintered part.
Keywords: Micromanufacturing, Nano PIM, PDMS micro mould.
4 Using Mean-Shift Tracking Algorithms for Real-Time Tracking of Moving Images on an Autonomous Vehicle Testbed Platform
Authors: Benjamin Gorry, Zezhi Chen, Kevin Hammond, Andy Wallace, Greg Michaelson
This paper describes new computer vision algorithms that have been developed to track moving objects as part of a long-term study into the design of (semi-)autonomous vehicles. We present the results of a study to exploit variable kernels for tracking in video sequences. The basis of our work is the mean shift object-tracking algorithm; for a moving target, it is usual to define a rectangular target window in an initial frame, and then process the data within that window to separate the tracked object from the background by the mean shift segmentation algorithm. Rather than use the standard, Epanechnikov kernel, we have used a kernel weighted by the Chamfer distance transform to improve the accuracy of target representation and localization, minimising the distance between the two distributions in RGB color space using the Bhattacharyya coefficient. Experimental results show the improved tracking capability and versatility of the algorithm in comparison with results using the standard kernel. These algorithms are incorporated as part of a robot test-bed architecture which has been used to demonstrate their effectiveness.

3 Fiction and Reality in Animation: Taking Final Flight of the Osiris as an Example
Authors: Syong-Yang Chung, Xin-An Chen
This study aims to explore the less well-known animation "Final Flight of the Osiris", consisting of an initial exploration of the film color, storyline, and the simulacrum meanings of the roles, which leads to a further exploration of the light-shadow contrast and the psychological images presented by the screen colors and the characters. The research is based on literature review, and all data was compiled for the analysis of the visual vocabulary evolution of the characters. In terms of the structure, the relational study of the animation and the historical background of that time came first, including The Wachowskis' and Andy Jones' impact towards the cinematographic version and the animation version of "The Matrix". Through literature review, the film color, the meaning and the relevant points were clarified. It was found in this research that "Final Flight of the Osiris" separates the realistic and virtual spaces by the changing the color tones; the "self" of the audience gradually dissolves into the "virtual" in the simulacra world, and the "Animatrix" has become a virtual field for the audience to understand itself about "existence" and "self".
Keywords: The Matrix, The Final Flight of Osiris, Wachowski sisters, simulacrum.
2 Controlling Water Temperature during the Electrocoagulation Process Using an Innovative Flow Column-Electrocoagulation Reactor
Authors: Khalid S. Hashim, Andy Shaw, Rafid Alkhaddar, Montserrat Ortoneda Pedrola
A flow column has been innovatively used in the design of a new electrocoagulation reactor (ECR1) that will reduce the temperature of water being treated; where the flow columns work as a radiator for the water being treated. In order to investigate the performance of ECR1 and compare it to that of traditional reactors; 600 mL water samples with an initial temperature of 350C were pumped continuously through these reactors for 30 min at current density of 1 mA/cm2. The temperature of water being treated was measured at 5 minutes intervals over a 30 minutes period using a thermometer. Additional experiments were commenced to investigate the effects of initial temperature (15-350C), water conductivity (0.15 – 1.2 S) and current density (0.5 -3 mA/cm2) on the performance of ECR1. The results obtained demonstrated that the ECR1, at a current density of 1 mA/cm2 and continuous flow model, reduced water temperature from 350C to the vicinity of 280C during the first 15 minutes and kept the same level till the end of the treatment time. While, the temperature increased from 28.1 to 29.80C and from 29.8 to 31.90C in the batch and the traditional continuous flow models respectively. In term of initial temperature, ECR1 maintained the temperature of water being treated within the range of 22 to 280C without the need for external cooling system even when the initial temperatures varied over a wide range (15 to 350C). The influent water conductivity was found to be a significant variable that affect the temperature. The desirable value of water conductivity is 0.6 S. However, it was found that the water temperature increased rapidly with a higher current density.

1 Localizing and Recognizing Integral Pitches of Cheque Document Images
Authors: Bremananth R., Veerabadran C. S., Andy W. H. Khong
Automatic reading of handwritten cheque is a computationally complex process and it plays an important role in financial risk management. Machine vision and learning provide a viable solution to this problem. Research effort has mostly been focused on recognizing diverse pitches of cheques and demand drafts with an identical outline. However most of these methods employ templatematching to localize the pitches and such schemes could potentially fail when applied to different types of outline maintained by the bank. In this paper, the so-called outline problem is resolved by a cheque information tree (CIT), which generalizes the localizing method to extract active-region-of-entities. In addition, the weight based density plot (WBDP) is performed to isolate text entities and read complete pitches. Recognition is based on texture features using neural classifiers. Legal amount is subsequently recognized by both texture and perceptual features. A post-processing phase is invoked to detect the incorrect readings by Type-2 grammar using the Turing machine. The performance of the proposed system was evaluated using cheque and demand drafts of 22 different banks. The test data consists of a collection of 1540 leafs obtained from 10 different account holders from each bank. Results show that this approach can easily be deployed without significant design amendments.

What will remain of us? – Joe Ort '21

Oval with Points, 1969–70
The John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection, Princeton University
An intriguing shade of green more evocative of psychedelia than academia resides at the heart of Princeton's campus. Feet from the warm, earthy hues of Morrison Hall and backlit by the slate-grey of Blair Hall stands the striking turquoise sheen of Henry Moore's Oval with Points (1969).
This color is likely familiar from a mutual appearance on the Statue of Liberty. In both cases, the phenomenon of verdigris is the culprit. Extended exposure to the elements allows deposits of copper carbonate to accumulate on copper and bronze (which compose the Statue of Liberty and Oval with Points, respectively), encapsulating the original metal in a green-pigmented patina.
When we call attention to it, Oval with Points' current color does seem incongruous with the campus' usual palette. Nonetheless, a macroscopic sort of sensory fatigue has ensured that the disparity goes unnoticed. Over the decades, we've seen enough pictures of Liberty Island to be unperturbed when the same signature green pops up elsewhere (Alexander Phimister Proctor's regal tigers in front of Nassau Hall are another example). Importantly, though, this change in color implies an alterability and dynamism inherent to the sculpture.
Of course, Oval with Points' surroundings are dynamic. In contrast to the highly contrived viewing experience of a painting in an immaculate gallery, Oval with Points is by design incorporated into an imperfect, changing environment. Shadows shorten and lengthen with the day, students commute to class and are gone, withered leaves litter its base in autumn but scatter in the face of winter's winds. Its installation embraces the variability of the setting.

Yet, I think there's also a point to be made about transformation as it pertains to the sculpture itself. Perhaps not apparent at first glance, Moore was actually influenced by an elephant skull while designing the Oval with Points series, a gift from the evolutionary biologist Sir Julian Huxley after a trip to East Africa. What an improbable, striking, and unorthodox source of inspiration! I can't say that the two are dead ringers, but Moore's bronze unmistakably imitates the organic form of an elephantine cranium. There is a shared essence between them. I'm fascinated that an object that should have been perishing to nothingness amid tall savannah grasses was transported, in a sense, to the vibrant and robust campus of a modern university. There's something profound and almost perverse in such a drastic rupture in the skull's natural history.
Oval with Points is on one level a stylized rendition of that very skull, juxtaposing a quintessential symbol of decomposition and entropy with the organization, activity, and structure of a flourishing university. Today, Princeton's existence seems assured; as an institution it is both iconic and influential. But that elephant was once monumental too. To me, Oval with Points evokes the transitory and perishable nature of all things on Earth.
If this all seems a little dour, hang on.
One peculiar feature of Oval with Points is that the tips of the points and the base of the oval are shiny. Over the decades, the thousands of hands and feet that have touched the same few square inches while climbing on or posing for photographs within Moore's creation have rubbed off the green patina on those spots. Our palms have quite literally changed the piece. I'm reminded of a stanza in Pablo Neruda's wonderful poem "Ode to things",
not because they are
or sweet-smelling
but because,
I don't know,
this ocean is yours,
and mine:
these buttons
and wheels
and little
treasures,
fans upon
whose feathers
love has scattered
its blossoms,
glasses, knives and
scissors –
all bear
the trace
of someone's fingers
on their handle or surface,
the trace of a distant hand
in the depths of forgetfulness.
Moore's sculpture concurs with Neruda's sentiments. Even if Oval with Points is destined to be forgotten one day, it will expire with the indelible imprint of human hands upon it, just as the Chilean says. Maybe all human creation is vanity. But I'm not so sure. After all, verdigris may be an ineluctable consequence of the passage of time, but the wearing away of that same patina most certainly is not. Time transforms all things, but so too do our own hands.

Q: Simplifying a Trigonometric Expression I need to provide a simplified version of this expression for a homework:
$$
\frac{\cos^{3}x - 2\cdot\cos x + \sec x}{\cos x \cdot \sin^{2}x}
$$
Basically, there aren't restrictions. The simpler the final formula, the better. I've been trying to reduce this expression with the main idea of replacing trigonometric function with $\cos$ equivalents (as it appears more frequently, thus could be simplified), but this led me to nowhere.
$$
\frac{\cos^{3}x - 2\cdot\cos x + \frac{1}{\cos x}}{\cos x (1 - \cos^{2}x)}
$$
I've also tried other substitutions with no success.
Any tip on direction to take from here are really appreciated. I see there is a lot of work to be done, and I know I haven't walked so much in direction to finishing it. The problem is that I don't have any idea to continue this.

A: Try multiplying the numerator (and denominator) by $\cos(x)$.  Then the numerator will be a fourth degree expression of the form $t^4-2t^2+1$. (where I have used $t$ in place of $\cos(x)$).  This expression is a perfect square and can be factored.  You should then be able to cancel some terms from the numerator and denominator.

A: We can multiply the numerator and denominator by $\cos(x)$ and get,
$$\frac{\cos^4(x) - 2 \cdot \cos^2(x) + 1}{\cos^2(x) \cdot \sin^2(x)}$$
$$= \frac{\left(\cos^2(x) - 1 \right)^2}{\cos^2(x) \cdot \sin^2(x)}$$
$$= \frac{\left(-\sin^2(x) \right)^2}{\cos^2(x) \cdot \sin^2(x)}$$
$$= \frac{\sin^4(x)}{\cos^2(x) \cdot \sin^2(x)}$$
$$= \frac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos^2(x)}$$
$$= \tan^2(x)$$

A total of 17 motor insurance claims relating to uninsured or untraced drivers were recorded in Kilkenny last year according to new figures released by the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI). This represents a drop of 39% from the 28 claims recorded throughout the county in 2016.
The claim figures were also lower than the 2015 levels, when a total of 18 Kilkenny claims were recorded.
Nationally the MIBI outlined the raised number of claims received throughout the country during 2016 was sustained in 2017. In total 2,758 claims were made throughout the Republic of Ireland in 2017, which represents a jump of 242 more claims than in 2015. On a countrywide basis there was a marginal 2% decrease in received claims between 2017 and 2016, when a total of 2,802 claims were submitted.
While the national claim figures were broadly similar between 2016 and 2017, some significant regional variations did arise on a proportional basis. Leitrim had the highest percentage increase in the number of claims (70%), followed by Roscommon (60%), Carlow (43%) and Monaghan (42%). The 39% drop recorded in Kilkenny was the largest percentage reduction in claims in the country, followed by Offaly (-34%) and then Wicklow (-33%).
Speaking about the figures, David Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of the MIBI said, "Last year the MIBI received a total of 17 claims from Kilkenny. This was a decrease on the 2016 figure and slightly lower than the number of Kilkenny claims made in 2015. Unfortunately, at national level, since the beginning of 2016 the MIBI has witnessed a significant step up in the number of claims we receive. There has been a marked increase from the previous level of claims which would have been in the region of 2,400 to 2,500 per year on a national basis.
"There are a range of factors behind this step up in activity, including the number of uninsured drivers operating on Irish roads. As the MIBI outlined in late 2016, at that time there were over 151,000 uninsured private vehicles in the Republic of Ireland. We are continuing to work with the Gardaí, the State and the rest of the motor insurance industry to bring forward measures that will help combat this problem.
"The MIBI has also outlined our determination to tackle fraudulent claims around the country, including in Kilkenny. We estimate 1 in 8 of all claims we receive are suspicious. As we detailed in our Fighting Fraud strategy we are now making it much more difficult for claims of this type to succeed and we believe this more aggressive approach will lead to the decline in bogus claims over time, reducing the overall number of claims received in future," Mr. Fitzgerald concluded.


Helen Chapman has been a mainstay at Transport for London for a number of years. Occupying various roles within the taxi and private hire department, Helen is now TfLs director of licensing, regulation and charging. TaxiPoint's UK Editor Steve Kenton would like to welcome Helen Chapman and you the reader to an EXCLUSIVE two part interview covering all things taxi related.
Today we talk about the politics surrounding the trade, private hire and Uber.
Last year it was revealed that over 13,000 PHV drivers, predominantly on the Uber platform, were operational with flawed DBS checks. How many of the 13,000 drivers have had fresh DBS checks and are there currently any drivers working without one?
The first thing that I would like to make clear is that the figure of 13,000 drivers is a myth.
When we first identified that there may be an issue with some of the DBS checks, we were asked by representatives of the taxi trade as to what the potential figure may be. We said there could be as many as 13,000, but that we were checking the actual figure. Once we had completed our checks, we identified the true figure was in fact 2,600 drivers that we wanted to obtain new DBS checks for. We did update trade representatives with the correct figure at that time. To put things into some context, the DBS checks themselves on the 2,600 drivers weren't flawed. Only the Disclosure and Barring Service carries out DBS checks and they liaise with the relevant police force (usually the Metropolitan Police Service) to determine what information to release to TfL. Our concern was that the ID check at the front end of the process, prior to it being sent to the DBS, hadn't been carried out by our appointed and independent service provider. We wanted to be absolutely sure that our own service provider was carrying out the ID part to verify the individual, right at the front end of the process. Therefore we wrote to all 2,600 private hire drivers to ensure their DBS checks were redone, using our service provider, so that we could be absolutely sure that the ID check was carried out independently.
How many PHV drivers were allowed to continue operating with flaws found on their DBS checks?
We allowed a set period of time for the 2,600 drivers to provide evidence they had applied for their new DBS check and took licensing action on those who didn't provide evidence.
As the original and subsequent DBS checks were all carried out by the DBS, no additional information was identified between the two different checks, other than those which might ordinarily come up in the course of a licence. For example, if the driver had gone onto commit a crime after the first check but this would be the case for all taxi and private hire drivers.
What has been the Government's response, more specifically Chris Grayling's, to TfL's lobbying for controls on capping, cross-border hiring and defining plying for hire, given that there has been a stalemate between both TfL and the Government over these issues?
The Mayor and TfL been actively lobbying the Government on these issues for some time. For example, even in our response to the Law Commission report from 2014 we were asking for a statutory definition of plying for hire which we believe is vital to maintain and make clear the distinction between the two tier system.
We were very pleased, when, last year, the then Transport Minister, John Hayes, set up a taxi and private hire Task and Finish Group to deal with these issues in response to Wes Streeting's Westminster Hall debate in July 2017. The remit of the Task and Finish Group was to look at the taxi and private hire industry and how legislation can be reformed. TfL were invited to be part of that Task and Finish group and I have represented TfL. Other working group members include The LGA, taxi and private hire trade representatives, public safety groups and other government departments. As you can appreciate there are differing views around the table on topics with members having different ideas. What we have found is that everybody agrees that cross border hiring is a serious problem, although there are naturally differing views as to how to solve that problem. Ultimately the Chair will now produce the report with his recommendations going to Government to be considered. Separately TfL published a policy paper in February looking at the detailed issues of cross border hiring and contained our key legislative asks of Government. We provided this paper to the Working Group and we hope that our recommendations have been taken on board.
John Hayes is no longer in his position, he resigned last year, will his successor Nusrat Ghani continue with the process that John Hayes started?
Only time will tell on that one, but we are hopeful Nus Ghani will continue with the work that John Hayes started. What I can say is that the chair is quite clear that these proposals are going to be his recommendations based on him listening to all the feedback.
His report will go to Nus Ghani and it is then up to her to consider the proposals and decide the next step forward which we hope will include primary legislative change in the areas we have been lobbying for.
Given the lack of a relationship between the Mayor and Chris Grayling, will any proposals be willfully scuppered by the Government in what may be seen as a points scoring exercise between a Conservative Government and a Labour capital?
We feel that the proposals we have put forward are sensible proposals aimed at addressing issues not just in the capital but across the country.
A rumour has emerged on social media that you may be leaving TfL permanently, are you able to confirm or deny this.
I will be returning to TfL in October this year, after I have taken some of my maternity leave.
Does TfL accept Uber's decision to define their own areas in relation to cross-border hiring, for example putting an area such as Windsor into their London area.
Changes to cross border hiring arrangements require changes to primary legislation and we are lobbying for this through the Task and Finish Group. This issue was raised in the recent court proceedings and the magistrate chose not to consider cross border hiring because it will require the Government to change the law.
If Uber fail to uphold any aspect of the conditions of their operator's licence over the next 15 months, is there a one strike and you're out policy or will it be accumulation of non-compliance that could see Uber's licence rescinded?
Like all other operators, Uber are required to fully adhere to their licensing obligations. The Magistrate agreed with our decision, as did Uber themselves, that they were not fit and proper at the time we refused them a licence. They have subsequently made a number of commitments to change and the Magistrate considered, at the end of the appeal process, that they are now fit and proper but has placed 14 stringent conditions on their 15 month licence. It's now down to Uber to operate within the rules, including meeting the strict conditions. TfL will be closely monitoring them throughout the 15 month licence period. If we determine a condition has been breached we will need to consider the appropriate licensing action, depending on the nature of the incident.
PART TWO OF THE INTERVIEW WILL BE OUT ON MONDAY!

Top 10 Trophies Killers Took from Victims
by Steve Etherwood
fact checked by Rachel Jones
Ah, murderers. There's just something so interesting about the worst people in history. We're obsessed with what motivates them and how they work, especially with the weird little quirks that all the major ones seem to have.
There are calling cards left on the scene, cryptic notes to authorities, and others, but the best serial killer quirk is the trophies (and we're talking about killers here, so best actually means worst). Whether to relive their crimes, prove them, or just to build a human skin suit, killers sometimes take from those they've killed—and some of what they take is insane. More insane than usual, even. This list ranks ten of the weirdest, wildest, or most gruesome trophies killers have ever harvested from their victims.
Related: 10 Creepy Photos Of People Unaware They Are With A Serial Killer
10 The Eyes: Charles Albright
The Insane Story Of How The FBI Caught The "Eyeball Killer"
The media has always had a habit of nicknaming every killer they possibly could, and if the killer has ever taken trophies, then there's your name. That's certainly true of our first entry, Charles Albright, known as "The Eyeball Killer."
Albright spent most of his adult life hopping from one crime to another. Theft, illegal weapons, assault, fraud, and his transgressions only escalated. By the time he sexually molested a minor, it was clear that his mental state was degrading. He then moved on to murder, even mutilating the victim's bodies. His trophies were their eyeballs, which authorities never found despite his arrest and conviction.
9 Camping Gear?: Ivan Milat
Australia worst serial killer: Ivan Milat's family reveal his darkest secrets | 60 Minutes Australia
You may know Ivan Milat as the "Backpacker Murderer" or as "Australia's worst serial killer," but what you might not know is the unusual trophy collection he amassed from his seven victims.
Milat targeted backpackers, offering them rides and then driving them into the forest, where he shot and/or stabbed them. His victims were apparently on their way to or coming from a camping trip, as he chose to take their camping supplies as trophies. When police searched Milat's home, they found, in their own words, an "Aladdin's Cave" of camping gear. Sleeping bags, a portable stove, canteens—you name it. And, for some insane reason, Ivan Milat killed for it.
8 Their Baby: John Edward Robinson
The Internet's First Serial Killer: John E. Robinson
Over his lifetime, John Edward Robinson earned no shortage of cruel accolades. He was a scam artist, embezzler, and forger, and his most famous title was "the Internet's first serial killer" due to his habit of luring victims via chat rooms. Yet another dark deed of Robinson's came in the form of one possession he stole from one of his victims: their four-month-old daughter.
Robinson met Lisa Stasi in 1985 while she was down on her luck and staying at a women's shelter in Kansas City. Under a fake name and posing as someone more successful and less murder-prone, Robinson offered Stasi a job, a home, and a better life. Instead, Robinson killed Staci and stole her daughter. Stasi's body was never found, but the child fared better, thankfully. Robinson only kept her for a short while before giving her to his brother and sister-in-law. Evidently, they were unaware of her kidnapping. They raised her like they would have their own daughter in the end.
7 "The Screaming Boy": Chris Busch
Local 4 Oakland County Child Killer full-length TV special (WDIV-TV)
This entry is a weird one because the trophy in question came only from a serial killer suspect, and therefore could be no trophy at all.
The identity of the Oakland County Child Killer, who killed at least four children in 1970s Michigan, was never conclusively determined. However, one of the suspects, Chris Busch, stood out, if only for the possible trophy. Busch allegedly committed suicide (which is debatable and worth looking into further), and at the scene, taped to the wall above his dead body, was a hand-drawn picture. It showed a young boy, seemingly screaming in pain, who bore a striking resemblance to one of the confirmed victims, a young boy named Mark Stebbins.
6 Bathtubs of Blood: Elizabeth Báthory
Elizabeth Bathory – The 'Blood Countess'
Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed was a Hungarian noblewoman whose misdeeds have become legends. Over the years, the stories of her cruel and cannibalistic acts have grown, to the point where she has been hypothesized to be a possible inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. But there is very likely a true core to her legend. Elizabeth Báthory tortured and killed hundreds of young women. The real question is whether or not she kept containers of their blood for drinking and bathing.
Historians disagree on the legitimacy of those claims, citing them as either propaganda, fear-mongering, or just idle gossip. It is true that, as a child, Báthory's doctors prescribed rubbing on and drinking healthy, young blood to treat her seizures. Combined with her targeting of healthy young virgin women and her extreme sadism, it seems possible that the blood remained a part of Báthory's life through adulthood, too.
5 37 X's Mark the Spot: Robert Hansen
Hunter's Game | FULL EPISODE | The FBI Files
How Robert Hansen murdered a possible 37 women sounds like it could only happen in a movie. After kidnapping and torturing his victims, Hansen would fly them out into the remote Alaska wilderness, release them into the frigid wilds, and hunt them for sport. The trophy he kept? A map, hidden behind his headboard, with little X's on it everywhere he dumped one of their bodies.
The most chilling feature of the map is that Hansen had written 37 X's on it, while only 17 of his victims have been confirmed. Some of the 17 were found at locations the X's denoted, including bodies that were previously unknown as Hansen's victims. This strongly points to the legitimacy of the map, then further suggesting that potentially 20 more of Hansen's victims await discovery to this day.
4 Their Voice: Eddie Leonski
Inside the mind of a serial killer, ( episode 4 ) – Eddie Leonski
At first mention, it may seem like killer Eddie Leonski shouldn't make this list. After all, after three murders, he never once left the scene with a trophy. Instead, Leonski earns his spot because he carried out every murder for the sole purpose of obtaining trophies—he simply failed every time. He failed because it was impossible to harvest the desperately desired trophies, namely women's voices.
In 1942, while Leonski was an active service member in the U.S. Army during World War II, he strangled three women. From witness reports, it was clear that he had attempted to murder several others similarly. When picked out of a lineup by multiple women, Leonski confessed to his crimes. His reason? Like Ursula the Sea Witch, he was desperately jealous of women's singing voices and only killed to "get at their voices" himself.
3 Feet, Socks, Shoes: Jerry Brudos
Jerry Brudos – The LUST Killer | SERIAL KILLER FILES #20
If Jerry Brudos were just into feet, he would be off this list and instead featured in "Top 10 Kinks that You Should Stop Shaming. Who Cares, Anyway? I Mean, Come On" (Name still in alpha). But Brudos loved feet too much. Far too much.
Brudos loved feet so much that he would murder women, cut off their feet, and keep the rotting appendages as models for his shoe collection—also partially taken from his victims. Though feet were by far Brudos's biggest fetish, it's worth noting that he also kept victims' breasts to make plastic molds of them for use as paperweights.
2 Just Everything: David Parker Ray
David Parker Ray: The Toy Box Killer (Full Documentary)
Suspected of more than 60 murders, David Parker Ray, also known as the Toy-Box Killer, is one of history's most prolific serial killers. If even half the allegations against him, many by his closest friends and accomplices, are true, then Ray was an abnormally twisted, wicked individual. As befitting such a rare beast, the trophies he took from his victims are horrifying, both in content and in quantity.
The FBI maintains a website that lists, with pictures, every trophy of Ray's thought to have come from a murder victim. The many trophy pictures are heartbreaking especially knowing the inhuman amount of torture he subjected his victims to. Many are jewelry, but some are personal and intimate. Worst of all, some of them clearly came from young children. Scroll through the collection at your own risk.
1 The Dog: John George Haigh
The Acid Bath English Serial Killer – John George Haigh
You don't get the nickname "The Acid Bath Murderer" because you're a great guy. But there are even worse things than killing and dissolving people. Specifically, there is stealing someone's dog, which is as bad as it gets. That's why John George Haigh, The Acid Bath Murderer, makes it to the top of this list.
In a nutshell, Haigh's original story revolves around him going to prison for fraud and realizing that the best crimes leave no witnesses or evidence. Hence, when he was released and returned to his life of crime, he started tying up loose ends and throwing them in vats of acid. However, his worst crime came after he murdered Archibald and Rose Henderson to steal their possessions and sell them off. Though he sold most of their estate, he decided to keep and raise their dog for some reason. That's a tremendous insult to add to an already immense injury.

Beatrice Beebe
Clinical Professor of Medical Psychology
Edward McCrorie
Morton Schillinger Award (2008)
Barnard College, Columbia University, Teacher's College
College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University, New York State Psychiatric Institute
Beatrice Beebe (born June 8, 1946) is a clinical psychologist known for her research in attachment and early infant-parent communication. Her work has helped established the importance of non-verbal communication in early child development.[1][2][3] She is a Clinical Professor of Medical Psychology at the College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University and the director of the Communications Science Lab at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI).[4][5]
Beebe received the Morton Schillinger Award in 2008, along with Frank Lachmann, for their "unique and fundamental contributions to psychoanalytic theory".[6]
Beebe has co-written a number of books including Infant Research and Adult Treatment, The Origins of Attachment and The Mother-Infant Interaction Picture Book: Origins of Attachment.[7][8][9] The Institute for InterGroup Understanding said her infant interaction picture book, which depicts how early infant-parent interactions can predict attachment security, was required reading for "anyone who is concerned about the developmental future of children in this country".[10] In Infant Research and Adult Treatment, Beebe interweaves a variety of infant research, including her own, and clinical vignettes of adult treatments to demonstrate how psychotherapists can use what we know about early infant development and non-verbal communication to treat patients with psychopathology.[11]
3 Representative Publications
Beebe was born in Washington, DC.[12] In her book, Infant Research and Adult Treatment, she describes Heinz Werner and Jean Piaget as her earliest influences.[7]
Beebe received a B.A. from Barnard College in 1968.[12] She attended graduate school at Columbia University, Teacher's College where she obtained a joint Ph.D. in Developmental and Clinical Psychology in 1973, under the supervision of Daniel Stern.[12] Her dissertation examined the complex behaviors behind positive infant affect and how mothers interpreted their child's responsiveness.[13] Beebe used frame-by-frame analysis of videotapes (video microanalysis) of mother-child dyads playing to collect this data, a research method she continues to use today.[13][14]
After graduate school, Beebe continued her work with Stern as a postdoctoral fellow at NYSPI from 1973-1975. During this period she discovered the chase and dodge pattern between mother and infant, where the mother follows the child's movement and the child moves their head back and away. Beebe described this as "an early example of bidirectional influence" and evidence that the infant, along with the mother, is directly influencing the relationship.[14] After her fellowship, she worked at Yeshiva University from 1976-1992, and remained at NYSPI where she ran and continues to run the Communications Science Lab. Stern and Joseph Jaffe, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia, were her closest research collaborators until they both passed away in 2012.[15][14][5][16] In 1995 she joined the faculty at the College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University.[12]
In 2018, Beebe received a research grant from the National Institute of Health to study how exposure to endocrine disrupting pollutants in utero alters mother-infant interaction and infant development.[17] She is also conducting a 30-year follow up study that attempts to predict attachment style in young adulthood based on the research participant's attachment style from infancy.[5]
As a psychoanalyst, Beebe treated the philosopher and author Gordon Marino.[1] She received a Certificate Specialization Psychotherapy - Psychoanalysis from New York University in 1986, and is a founding faculty member at the Institute for The Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity.[18][12]
Beebe is married to Edward McCrorie, a Professor Emeritus of English at Providence College.[19]
Research[edit]
Influenced by Jaffe's book, Rhythms of Dialogue, which analyzed adult face to face speech patterns, Beebe and Jaffe set out in the early 1980s to apply the same principles of adult conversation to interactions between caregivers and their infants.[14] This project culminated in a 2001 research monograph, Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy, that linked infant-parent and infant-stranger vocal coordination at four months to 12-month infant attachment and cognition. In an autobiographical paper, Beebe described vocal coordination as "matched durations of switching pauses at the point of the turn exchange".[14] In their monograph, Beebe and Jaffe found that midrange vocal coordination between mother-infant dyads and stranger-infant dyads predicted a secure attachment, and the infant's interaction with a stranger predicted developmental outcomes just as well as their interaction with their mother. The researchers also found that a high degree of vocal coordination between infant and stranger predicted optimal cognition, as measured by the Bayley Scales.[20]
Consistent with the concept of "good enough" mothering proposed by the Pediatrician and Psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, Beebe hypothesized that mid-range coordination between mother and infant was optimal because it left room for flexibility, variability, and inventiveness, all of which could lead to the type of playfulness that is critical to development. A mother that has high or low coordination with their child, on the other hand, is likely to have an attunement defined by vigilance or inhibition.[21][14] An APA review said Beebe and Jaffe's monograph provided clear and empirically-supported evidence for some of the core ideas of psychoanalysis.[3]
In 1999, Beebe received a research grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to analyze video from 132 mother-infant dyads.[14] The research project culminated in a 2010 paper that found attachment outcomes at 12-months could be predicted by just 2.5 minutes of video microanalysis of mother-infant interactions. In addition, her paper demonstrated that disorganized attachment—characterized by an infant who has no coherent strategy for relating to their caregiver[22]—can also be predicted from mother-infant interaction at four-months.[23] According to Beebe, the infants on their way to a disorganized attachment strategy exhibited "discrepant, contradictory, and conflicted patterns of communication with their mothers, in the context of intense, sometimes frantic, infant distress".[14]

SFP optical module (Small Form-factor Pluggable) can be easily understood as an upgraded version of the GBIC optical module. SFP optical module is half the size of the GBIC optical module, which is only the thumb-size but can configure on the same panel more than double ports on the same panel. The other functions of the SFP optical module are basically the same as those of the GBIC optical module.
SFP optical modules are mainly composed of lasers (including transmitter TOSA and receiver ROSA), circuit board IC and external accessories. The external parts are mainly composed of the shell, the base, the PCBA, the pull ring, the buckle, the unlocking piece and the rubber stopper. In order to recognize conveniently, the parameter type of the optical module is generally distinguished by the color of the pull ring.
SFP optical module covers a lot of sophisticated optical components and circuit components. Therefore, the user needs to follow the specifications to operate in daily use; otherwise, it is likely to cause damage to the optical module. Next, we will introduce you about several daily maintenance methods for optical modules.
④ Choose the fiber connector meeting the network standard.
② Keep the optical connector into the optical port horizontally in the process of insertion to ensure the docking precision; Pull down the SFP optical module lock, and pull the SFP optical module in parallel slowly by pulling ring in the process of withdrawal.
③ Light to light, reduce the accidental damage to the optical module.
The SFP optical module is one of the most widely used optical modules, and its role is becoming more and more important in various networks and communication systems in the pace of increasing bandwidth demand. Not just SFP optical module, Optical modules, and optical devices all need professional knowledge and skills to maintain so as to get a truly efficient and stable network experience.
