Biz & IT —
Fed up, US cities take steps to build better broadband
Increasingly, cities control their broadband future—with both low- and high-tech methods.

Welcome to Ars UNITE, our week-long virtual conference on the ways that innovation brings unusual pairings together. Today, a look at how once low-tech city governments are actively involved in high-tech broadband projects across the country. Join us at noon Eastern for a live discussion on the topic with article author Jon Brodkin and his expert guests; your comments and questions are welcome.
Controlling Cities' Broadband Future
[ COUNTDOWN ]
State and local governments aren't typically known for leading the way on technology. Remember that West Virginia library that uses a $20,000 router for a building the size of a trailer?
But all that's changing fast, at least at the municipal level—and the demand for broadband is what's driving this shift. No longer content to let residents suffer from poor Internet access, cities and towns saw a need to boost their tech savvy. Now many are partnering with technologists in order to take matters into their own hands.
While some municipalities have taken on the extraordinarily complex task of building their own networks, others have succeeded with lower-tech methods. Streamlining permitting processes and readying public infrastructure has helped some draw in new ISPs such as Google Fiber. Other cities and towns are taking advantage of legal processes to pressure incumbents into offering better and cheaper service. And still other cities are laying fiber conduits every time construction workers dig up the ground for unrelated projects, allowing quicker upgrades from cable and copper. In all these ways, cities and towns are showing that smart management can be just as important as high-tech systems when it comes to making broadband accessible and affordable to everyone.
"Hundreds [of cities and towns] have done something already and hundreds more are evaluating it now and are likely to take action," Christopher Mitchell, director of the Community Broadband Networks Initiative at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, told Ars. "I think thousands recognize a need but aren't committed yet."
Driving fiber fervor
It's been obvious for years how important Internet access is in modern life and business. But a few new factors have helped convince municipalities that they have to take action now or risk being left behind.
Google Fiber has had an impact far beyond the few cities where it actually exists. "Google gives something credibility. I think all the cities that are not going to get Google investments are recognizing that they need to do something," Mitchell said.
Besides the Google effect, growing frustration over a lack of competition is fueling city efforts, with the pending Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger having "set off alarm bells in recognizing that things are getting worse in terms of monopoly," according to Mitchell.
More than 1,100 cities applied for Google Fiber in 2010, but only Kansas City; Austin, Texas; and Provo, Utah were successful.
"Having world-class bandwidth is maybe even more important than having an NFL football team."
"We all competed for Google Fiber," Raleigh, North Carolina CIO Gail Roper told Ars. "That got our heads going in terms of potential benefits and we just felt like we were the right region to push it forward." After losing out on Google Fiber, Raleigh teamed up with Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Winston-Salem to form the North Carolina Next Generation Network. The area now has a deal with AT&T to bring gigabit fiber to residents.
Cities and towns have come to understand that "having world-class bandwidth is maybe even more important than having an NFL football team," said Blair Levin, a former FCC official who oversaw development of the National Broadband Plan under President Obama and is now executive director of the Gig.U fiber initiative.

Levin has gone around the country helping cities understand why action at the local level is so important. While Internet service providers often don't compete against each other in individual cities and towns, the cities and towns are in effect competing against each other because broadband infrastructure fuels growth.
"I was in front of College Station, Texas, and I remember a city councilor saying something to the effect of 'Oh I get what you're saying—our cable company doesn't compete with South Korea Telecom, but we compete with Seoul, Korea,'" Levin told Ars.
Communities are recognizing that broadband "impacts their ability to do everything, whether it be traffic control or schools or civic engagement," he said. "The biggest change is people are starting to notice how things they do today affect the network they have 10 years from now. You can't do this overnight. Networks take a lot of time to plan, engineer, and build."
One problem, many solutions
So what strategies are cities and towns using now to build for that future network? There are a handful of reoccurring approaches.
"Dig once": Municipalities with "dig once" policies require workers to install conduit for fiber cable any time the ground is dug up for electrical and sewer projects or other work. This dramatically reduces the price for laying fiber and speeds up deployment. While cities can deliver service over the fiber themselves, it's a valuable asset even if they don't because it can be leased to private telecoms and help lure new providers. Boston and other cities have been doing this for years—San Francisco is just getting started on it now.
"'Dig once' is a bare minimum," Mitchell said. "Cities need to recognize that even if they don't want to be an ISP they have to make it easier for other entities to deliver services, and that means 'dig once.'"
Christopher Mitchell.
Playing hardball: Comcast is going city to city to get approval for its purchase of Time Warner Cable, but not every local government is giving in easily. In Lexington, Kentucky, officials are demanding commitments to improve customer service in the cable franchise agreement, which has lapsed and must be renewed before it can be transferred from TWC. In Worcester, MA, the City Council has declared that it doesn't want Comcast coming into town. These actions won't prevent the merger on their own, but they could give the federal government more reason to block it or require extensive customer protections as a condition for approval.
Changing the law: Community-owned networks have helped in cities and towns that couldn't attract sufficient investment from private ISPs, but they've been held back by laws in 20 states that restrict their growth. EPB, a community-owned electric utility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the City of Wilson, North Carolina, have asked the Federal Communications Commission to preempt state laws that prevent them from offering Internet service in surrounding towns that have requested it.
Getting infrastructure ready for fiber: Cities are ticking off the items on Google's "Fiber Ready Checklist" to get their streets ready for a big upgrade. This is as simple as "provid[ing] accurate information about local infrastructure like utility poles, conduit and existing water, gas and electricity lines so we'd know where to efficiently place every foot of fiber." Google also asks cities to simplify permitting processes and provide access to existing infrastructure to minimize the need for duplicate utility poles and roadwork. The Google Fiber checklist is helpful for attracting any ISP, not just Google.
RFPs: You don't get what you don't ask for, so cities have issued RFPs (requests for proposals) and RFIs (requests for information) to get the attention of ISPs and find out what cities need to do to lure a new provider. Louisville, Kentucky; College Station, Texas; Los Angeles; and numerous others have gone this route.
Public Wi-Fi: While perhaps less crucial than a fast, wired connection to every home, Wi-Fi in government buildings and public places offers a convenience to many and can help poor people who can't afford home Internet service get online. Boston and New York are among the cities setting up Wi-Fi networks aimed at low-income areas.
Teaming up: Cities and towns from across the country are meeting with each other to share best practices. The latest example is Next Century Cities, a coalition of more than 30 cities trying to upgrade to gigabit service. Cities from Idaho, Indiana, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Kentucky, Washington, California, Oregon, North Carolina, Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota are involved.
"Cities are looked at to make sure there is sufficient infrastructure and quality of life," Levin said. "Broadband is going to be one of those things. You can't have a world-class city without world-class broadband. But the market dynamics don't necessarily drive that, and they have to figure out a way of changing those market dynamics."

Boundaries of Faith
Catholics and Protestants in the Diocese of Geneva
Jill R. Fehleison
"Fehleison offers a rich and compelling account of the revitalization of religious conviction and devotion in the Catholic areas bordering the Reformed city-state of Geneva. Her analysis of the people, structures, and rituals associated with Catholic reform in the Diocese of Geneva is exceptional and accomplished. She carefully elucidates the gradual emergence of confessional identity and the "boundaries of faith" among both clergy and laity. In the process, the dynamics of early modern Catholicism emerge in vibrant and robust tones."—Raymond A. Mentzer,
At the political and religious crossroads where John Calvin and the Protestant Reformation had taken hold, the Catholic Diocese of Geneva struggled to convert their Protestant neighbors back to the Catholic Church while maintaining a tradition of piety and a firm disciplinary hand. This critical study examines the success of Catholic counter-reform in key rural villages and looks at the significant role played by Bishop François de Sales, who had the unusual challenge of dealing with the two political authorities of Savoy and France. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, including visitation records of bishops and other diocesan documents, Jill Fehleison contributes to our understanding of early modern Catholicism as it addressed the challenges of coexisting with Protestantism.
"In Boundaries of Faith, Jill Fehleison explores the Catholic Reformation that sought to revitalize the church through the conversion of Protestants in the diocese of Geneva, the implementation of Council of Trent's recommended reforms, and the restoration of pre-Reformation boundaries in the formerly Catholic diocese. As Fehleison makes clear, such goals were complicated by secular and religious authorities, the shifting of political boundaries between Savoy and France, the poverty of parishioners that made support for the parish churches difficult, and the rugged topography of the region, which rendered frequent oversight impractical. Using ecclesiastical records and correspondence, Fehleison brings to life the complexities that made the complete reform of the region ultimately impossible.... The parishioner's simple faith, hardscrabble life, and enthusiastic embrace of spirituality (although not necessarily through practices endorsed by a visiting bishop) come through in Fehleison's book, enlivening her study as it comes to a close. Here, we glimpse the face of earnest, hardworking humanity, clinging stubbornly to life even as the world around them totters."Sixteenth Century Journal
"Boundaries of Faith: Catholics and Protestants in the Diocese of Geneva offers a fine survey of religious conviction and devotion in the Catholic areas bordering Geneva She combines a social analysis of these people and their customs with assessments of rituals associated with Catholic reform in the Diocese of Geneva, providing a scholarly, in-depth analysis perfect for any college-level Catholic history and spirituality collection."Midwest Book Review, California Bookwatch
"This is a carefully researched and well-written case study of the diocese during the Catholic Reformation...[r]arely is the Catholic Reformation treated so positively with such intelligence and verve."Renaissance Quarterly
"Fehleison produces a vivid and intriguing picture of the process of Catholic reform and reconversion at the local level. Her book is exciting both for the information it presents and for the possibilities it suggests for future research on Catholics and Protestants in the region around Geneva."H-France Review
"Jill Fehleison's study of the Diocese of Geneva in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries is a fine addition to a lengthy list of books examining the Catholic Reformation in French, German, Italian, and Spanish dioceses. However, the Diocese of Geneva presents a particularly interesting example of the reform program. Since its former seat was now the center of Calvinism, it was on the front lines of the battle against heresy. The diocese also crossed a national boundary between the Duchy of Savoy and France. Among its bishops was one of the most famous figures of the Catholic Reform—the future saint, François de Sales."Catholic Historical Review
"This excellent book examines how three bishops in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries—Francis de Sales, his predecessor, and his successor in the diocese of Geneva—were successful and/or unsuccessful in promoting and restoring Catholicism... The work also nicely complements other recent studies on how bishops received and implemented prescriptions of the Council of Trent for making bishops and parish priests effective agents of Catholic reform."Religious Studies Review

No matter how many times you throw the stick, Grace (my poochie niece) always runs off the dock full throttle with the same level of effort and enthusiasm at the beginning and at the end.
The stick is out of reach but only if you don't pursue it with all of your heart, soul and being. Yet again, our four-legged friends teach us two-legged over-complicating wanderers how to live well and completely by pursuing the stick and never, ever giving up.
It is in the effort and action of reaching that we are simultaneously pulled and pushed. Motion transforms to momentum. Dreams released to unfold. The effort soon becomes effortless and the action natural.
Change is our friend not foe. Growth is our calling. And reaching our potential is not only for oneself but is the gift that the world needs from each one of us. Our purpose is to leave this world with no regrets or doubts that we became our best and most sacred self. And the world is better for it.
It's been a month when words have meant so much and so little all at the same time. Indescribable really. Sometimes, many times, a picture, a song, a scent, a sound capture what words could never harness.
Here are a handful of photos from my Lake Tahoe vacation last week with my best friend Sharon. We don't see each other as much as we did when we were in college, yet each time we get together, there's a silent connection that needs no words.
Be present with yourself and others. Words will come or they won't need to. Look around, listen. Say what needs to be said and let silence enter too. In the silence, we hear what we need to, what we must. A picture, more than a thousand words.
Darkness hovers, to overwhelm and crush. But light remains, breaks through and triumphs. Three days – from 30 silver coins, despair and denial to hope and deep, everlasting love. Easter returns again and again, never to be defeated.
Be drawn and pulled into the Light. Love always wins. The gravity of it all.
May you rise and set as easy and sure as the sun. Grateful for the day that has passed, moving softly into rest to prepare for the next. Renewed and ready to receive the gifts of a new day. Deep and steady in each moment, each day, confident that it is enough, more than enough.
Amidst the cold days that have arrived early in the season, I am vividly reminded that all things pass quickly. Seasons come and go. People move in and out of our sight. We wake up feeling like we're 24 and we're 49.
So as we dread the "15 degrees below days" that come all year round, there is beauty to be found even in these days. If we base our happiness on the weather, a compliment or a list of "rules" that we put on ourselves and others, we are passing by instead of passing through our lives. Each day has its gifts often disguised as inconveniences and interruptions. Get interrupted, wake up and let not this day pass without notice and deep appreciation of the fullness of each moment. Find summer in each day.
There are 10080 minutes in the week. As you begin this week, what's your plan? Anguish or anticipation? We waste a lot of time deconstructing the past instead of constructing the present. Patiently, we wait for the "perfect" moment to make changes, do something different, pursue what we really want. Be impatient and move, only 9660 minutes left.
Put those "now-points" to good use this week and enjoy your life while you're at it. And be kind along the way.
Everyday is filled with opportunities for fun and frolic, despite chaos that may surround you. Lighten up and simply enjoy those moments that remind us of the many blessings that we overlook. You need not look far to find fun, just to be open to it.
Mom, Dad, Lily and I celebrated Molly's seventh birthday today with a lot of toys and a few frosty paws ice cream cups. I can remember driving with Dad to Elkhart Lake Wisconsin to pick Molly up like it was yesterday. Time flies. Joy is ours if we choose it. If you can't find fun, let it find you.
Venture past the obvious, dig deeper and look again, longer. See the light beaming through the clouds. See the blue behind the passing gray. See the angel in the marble. New eyes, new perspective. Our world is carved out by us, not our circumstances. Our life is a blank canvas that we paint, a sculpture we create. We are the author and artist of our life, unfolding a day at a time. Find your angel and set him free.

Q: How to use ".find()" with an array in vuejs I have the following code on my project components:
<template>

    <agent
      v-for="agent in agents"
      :uuid="agent.uuid"
      :key="agent.uuid"
      :socket="socket">
    </agent>

{{error}}

</template>

It seems everything is working fine, however, when I get an agent connected the following line is complaining...
 const existing = this.agents.find(a => a.uuid === uuid)

message in the console sais 'Uncaught TypeError: n.agents.find is not a function'
I don't see where is the bug... any help?
Thanks a million
UPDATE -> this is what I have in "result":
{…}
agentMAC: (...)
agentName: (...)
connected: (...)
createdAt: (...)
id: (...)
lastAccess: (...)
loginDate: (...)
pid: (...)
updatedAt: (...)
userId: (...)
__ob__: Ae {value: {…}, dep: fe, vmCount: 0}
get agentMAC: ƒ ()
set agentMAC: ƒ (t)
get agentName: ƒ ()
set agentName: ƒ (t)
get connected: ƒ ()
set connected: ƒ (t)

set loginDate: ƒ (t)
get pid: ƒ ()
set pid: ƒ (t)
get updatedAt: ƒ ()
set updatedAt: ƒ (t)
get userId: ƒ ()
set userId: ƒ (t)
__proto__: Object

A: From your update it looks like result value is an object and when you assign it to this.agents now it is also just an object. If the results will either be a single object or an array of objects, then it would be better to assign results as below which would make sure that it would be an array.
this.agents = result ? [].concat(result) : []

note: ternery check above will also make sure to assign empty array if result is undefined/null.

A: This should be the correct method you want to use.
userobjectbyid: function(id) {
  var userobject = this.users.find(user => {
      if (user.id === id) {
        return user
        }
        });
  return userobject;
}

'Death' occupies a significant place in the spiritual Hindu religion. The spiritualists never agree that 'Death' is the final form of existence. According to them, the spirit remains unaltered, only the physical body, which is nothing else but just a container, transforms. But this idea antagonizes the Indian materialistic philosophy. According to these materialistic philosophers, the earlier referred conception of death is a shrewd and tactical ploy propagated by Brahminism. In this book, the two scholars have discussed about the synthesis of death with life and the material world.

Filmmaker Spotlight: Seven King of Eden's Garden
By admin August 27, 2015 April 1, 2019 Events / Info / Press / Spotlight
Gender Reel's 2015 fall festival circuit kicks off September 30th in Boston and continues throughout the months of October and November in Minneapolis, Durham, Omaha and Houston.
This year, Gender Reel features 21 amazing films exploring a range of issues related to the trans and gender non-conforming experience, including premiere screenings of Eden's Garden — a short film created by Filmmaker Seven King — which features an all trans male cast and focuses on socially relevant issues impacting black and Latino trans men.
Seven, is a 28-year-old, African- American, trans man director, writer, film producer, documentation, advocate and filmmaker born and raised in Bronx, New York. Over the past 10 years, Seven has wrote and produced many screenplays specializing in the drama genre.
Earlier this month, Gender Reel caught up with Seven for a short, yet personal interview. This is what he had to say about his work in the film industry, what he hopes his professional future will look like and what others can do to accomplish their dreams.
Joe: How long have you been making films?
Seven: I have been a visionary all my life. Art has been apart of my life since I was a child. Creativity is effortless for me. I embrace that part of me. Expressing myself in other ways that has to do with creating has always been my language. Film making is vision and a visionary, I am. I have been writing screen plays since I was a teenager. I have been making films since I was sixteen.
Joe: What inspired you to get into the film making industry?
Seven: I am inspired in putting different messages on the screen. We live in a world influenced highly by technology, I believe in creating films for the brain to think. I am about creating revolutionary films. I have a revolutionary spirit. I think outside the box and I can create a story regardless if I been through it or not, I believe in the power of the message. The power of the message is what inspired me to take on filmmaking. I like to create impactful drama related films. I believe it's tied to my journey. Life's circumstances will take you to different experiences. An artist creates from different inspirations, I create from experience or exposing different conversations, topics and views that may have not been focused on before.
Joe: What makes the content and story line of Eden's Garden a unique and important one?
Seven: I'm an artist. I am a visionary. I am a revolutionary at heart. I am also a transgender male. Expressing the story of my own personal experience which also represents the story of millions of transgender people, regardless of color is an intimate project to produce alone. I wrote an explicit, heart felt and honest show, regarding the trans male experience and I hope this show opens a window for the world to understand our realities and struggles through this scripted drama. I hope this show connects people, I hope this show brings respect to people who choose to transition and live their life as any other person. I hope it brings understanding and clarity to people who still have narrowed views of the transgender experience. I hope it helps people see the perspectives of some Black and Latino trans men.
Joe: As a trans man yourself, were there personal reasons or interests behind creatingEden's Garden?
Seven: Personally, filmmaking is my career. I want to show the world when we create outside the box, the impact in energy it will send out in the air. Eden's Garden is helping to open the minds, conversations and perspectives of people who may not be of trans experience. The connection of being human is what I personally wanted to put onto the forefront. I believe the personal is always political. It's a political statement for me to call myself black and trans in the same sentence. It's a statement of my somebody-ness. What it means to be black, trans and human. It is my radical subjectivity. I feel this series is personal, intentional and political. Throughout life we will experience all of the above. I'm intentionally bringing the story of trans men to the forefront for the media and world to see the visible face and story of human beings who also happen to be trans man.
Joe: If you could decide on one message someone watching Eden's Garden could walk away with, what would that message be?
Seven: Being yourself is an action of choice you have to decide to live everyday. Be true to what you feel, think and want to be, that is the ultimate freedom.
Joe: What is in store for Seven King's future? Are you planning more films? Projects?
Seven: I plan to expand my production company "Seven King Entertainment" and produce films of different focuses, not just LGBT based. I am also in the middle of writing a book, there's allot in store!
Joe: As a successful filmmaker, who is also trans and a person of color, do you have any advice to offer other young people who may be interested in getting involved in visual or media arts?
Seven: The advice I can give to people inspiring to be filmmakers is to have "tunnel vision" for your goal. Learn how to master starting and finishing something. Many people, have multiple ideas but do not know how to finish what they start. Believe in your idea and vision when no one else will. Learn that everything is a process and that nothing comes overnight. You will be so focused, by the time you look up, your goal will be accomplished.
You can catch Seven after the screenings of Eden's Garden @ Gender Reel Boston on October 1st and Gender Reel Minneapolis on October 8th. During these events, he will participate in a short Q&A as well as larger panel discussions regarding issues impacting TMOC.

Football: Leicester's Jamie Vardy named football writers' player of the year

May 2, 2016, 6:06 pm SGT
http://str.sg/44Gp
LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has been voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association (FWA).
The 29-year-old has scored 22 league goals to help fire his team from 5,000-1 outsiders to odds-on favourites to win the Premier League title for the first time this season.
Vardy, who built his career away from the spotlight at Stocksbridge, Halifax and Fleetwood Town, became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches earlier this season.
"The Jamie Vardy story clearly captured the imagination of so many writers," FWA Chairman Andy Dunn said. "His record-breaking feat of scoring in 11 consecutive matches is the jewel in what will surely be Leicester City's Premier League crown.
"And the Footballer of the Year award is not just a reflection of his fantastic season but recognition of a remarkable journey from non-league to the international stage."
Vardy, who won 36 per cent of the vote, is the first Englishman to win the award since Scott Parker in 2011 and the first Leicester player to win it since it was started in 1948.
In winning the award, he beat team-mates Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante, who finished second and third.
Danny Drinkwater, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson were the other Leicester players who received votes.
Leicester, who lead the top-flight by eight points ahead of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, need two points from their last two games to lift the title. They could also be crowned champions if Spurs fail to beat Chelsea on Monday night.

Season resumes for girls water polo
The Mercer Island girls water polo team has had a tough time finding consistency. But it is not in their offense, defense or practices. It's all in the scheduling.
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 4:59pm
Islander Stephanie Hammond winds up just before firing a bullet past the CAP goalkeeper.
Mercer Island played its first game in three weeks on April 21, losing to CAP 8-6. But the team got back into the flow on Friday, when they trounced Roosevelt, 12-5, at Edgebrook.
"Not playing games has hurt us," said Islander coach Bekki Lyon. "We had to reschedule because of snow."
The conflicts have not just been weather-related. Many of the games had to be canceled due to the Mercer Island and Bellevue school districts having spring break during different weeks. The conflict led to many teams not having enough players. But for some girls who play a lot of water polo, the break was not necessarily all bad.
"It was kind of nice to not have so many games," said Haley March. "But we do need more games together to prepare for the state tournament."
Last year at this time, the Islanders had played 13 games. This year, the team's record sits at just 5-2.
With less than a month before the Islanders will try to win back the state title, the win against the Roughriders came at the right time.
The Islanders dominated from the opening whistle, building a 4-1 lead through the first quarter. Three goals by Christina Weed and one more from March set the tone.
But Roosevelt came back during the second period, narrowing the gap to 5-3.
A long bullet shot by Laura Horton blasted the goalkeeper's hand out of the way as Mercer Island regained the momentum.
"I want to get more of the team involved so that they feel like they have something to contribute when we head into state," said Lyon. "We have been focused on a lot of repetition in practice, and I want them to put that to good use in actual games."
The Islanders coasted to the win but know that bigger opponents loom on the horizon.
The Islanders will play defending state champion Newport on Friday at Edgebrook.
"We need to work on our consistency and game technique," said Weed. "The scheduling conflicts have taught us to be flexible, and I think that will serve us well in the long run."
New book tells how to raise parents

It is hard to believe that I have been going to the BlogHer Conferences for almost 10 years. BlogHer was one of the first communities of women online and a great transition from my traditional work network. The blogging community was a powerful network that gave me the opportunity to meet creative women with inspirational voices. Now that community has expanded to sharing their voices across social media platforms.
Years ago I decided to focus TechMamas.com on technology, business, lifestyle, and travel. I stayed away from covering some parenting topics because I had stories, like many online parents, that I could not share online. For years, it felt like our family was in the middle a journey in the dark and with the true path unknown. Our challenge was focused on desperately trying to find the right learning environment and support for our twice exceptional child . Twice Exceptional is used to describe children that are "considered intellectually above average, and formally diagnosed with one or more disabilities". In our situation, that included learning disabilities and anxiety disorder. Twice-exceptional adults are some of the top innovators across industries. You read articles and books about how they struggled as children, but until you have a child of your own in that situation it is hard to understand what that challenge is all about.
Our local and online community of parents helped my husband and I learn valuable information, shared stories and inspired us to remain positive while never, ever, ever giving up. The "in real life" friendships I made online included parents that were also going through similar challenges. When we saw each other at BlogHer or other conferences, we talked, we shared, sometimes we cried and many times we lifted each other up with support. There were so many in my community that I would like to thank, but one that has been along for the ride with similar family challenges was TheGoToMom. Luckily, she had a professional background that offered invaluable perspectives along with her daily inspiration.
So why, years later, did I feel ready to start sharing the journey? It is because we finally found "the light" that included a mix of mindfulness, the power of nature, therapy, learning to balance protecting your child while not becoming an "overprotective" parent and empowering independence in your child in as many ways as possible. Most of all, the other twice exceptional kids we met trained us to view things in new ways.
This post is in honor of parents managing all types of family challenges with their own powerful stories to tell. Some of their stories are happening behind the blog, some are ready to be shared online. This is a toast to their strength, resilience, patience. determination and commitment. I hope this blog post makes them feel like their voices are not only important but also being heard and celebrated.
OMG How have I never heard of "twice exceptional"?????? That totally would describe my son so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PL preview: Cardiff City v. Crystal Palace
By Kyle BonnMay 3, 2019, 1:50 PM EDT
Cardiff City has not scored a single goal in 3 PL meetings vs CPFC
Crystal Palace has the 2nd most PL away points in 2019 with 16
Cardiff has just 9 first-half PL goals all season
Cardiff City needs a win or relegation is all but complete as they host Crystal Palace on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET live on NBCSN or live online at NBCSports.com.
Thanks to a far superior goal differential, the magic number is two for Brighton & Hove Albion to secure Premier League safety and relegate Cardiff City, meaning any combination of two points dropped by Cardiff City or gained by Brighton would complete the bottom of the table. With Brighton taking on Manchester City in the final week of the season, Cardiff could significantly boost their hopes of survival with a result this weekend.
WATCH LIVE, ONLINE, HERE
Still, Neil Warnock is staring down his third Premier League relegation with a third club, and he will be without a host of injured players at his disposal. Sol Bamba, Callum Paterson, Joe Ralls and Matthew Connolly are all confirmed out injured for the remainder of the season, while Aron Gunnarsson and Harry Arter are questionable for Saturday's critical match.
Crystal Palace sits 12th in the Premier League, above the classic 40-point threshold teams often target for safety. They are limping to the finish line like their opponents, with Mamadou Sakho, James Tomkins, Jeffrey Schlupp and Pape Souare all out for the season plus Christian Benteke who is sidelined at least this weekend with a facial injury suffered last time out.
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock on relegation fight: "We've got to win this game. If we don't we can forget it, so we've got to concentrate on that really. We always give effort and sometimes we are a bit limited. But with two games to go we're still in it."
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson on playing a desperate side: "We have to expect a very motivated team, a team that will give its all to cling to the last chances of staying in the league, and hoping they can win while Brighton don't. We have a desire to win the game as well."
Cardiff City needs a result in the worst way, but they are dangerously thin, and Crystal Palace is a quality road opponent, having topped Arsenal last time away from home. The Bluebirds will come close to earning a hard-fought draw, but they will throw everything forward at the end in desperation and concede late for a 2-1 loss to seal their relegation.

Premier League Sunday preview: Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool all in play
By Kyle BonnApr 20, 2019, 7:28 PM EDT
The battles at the summit of the Premier League table continue as three of the top six teams take the field on Sunday.
The title race is still white hot, with both Manchester City and Liverpool swinging back and forth with every positive result. City jumped back into the lead with the win on Saturday over Tottenham, a point in front with four matches remaining on both the dockets.
WATCH LIVE, ONLINE HERE
The fight for the Champions League places also looks a good one, with four teams battling for just two places. Tottenham sits precariously in third on 67 points, while Arsenal and Chelsea are level on 66 with the Gunners holding the goal differential tiebreaker by five. Manchester United is in sixth on 64 points, still in the mix.
Everton v. Manchester United — 8:30 a.m. ET, on NBCSN and NBCSports.com
The Red Devils are the first of the Champions League contenders to take the field as they visit Goodison Park. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's honeymoon period in charge of Manchester United is over and it's time for him to prove he belongs. The Norwegian boss was given the permanent position after a record start to his interim tenure, but the timing was still odd and as the season winds down, the Red Devils could be left out of the mix for Europe's biggest competition. Luke Shaw is suspended for the match for yellow card accumulation, but otherwise the injury news is good with Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, and Alexis Sanchez all reportedly available.
Everton, meanwhile, sits in a similar position as Manchester United, battling for a European place but bringing up the rear. The Toffees sit in 10th, back of the pack among a crowded fight for the last Europa League place. Everton is still just three points back of Watford who currently holds that spot, and while they can break everyone's hearts by upsetting Manchester City in the FA Cup final, a loss would give the Europa League position to whoever finishes seventh.
INJURIES: Everton — OUT: Yerry Mina (hamstring), Andre Gomes (suspension). | Manchester United — OUT: Luke Shaw (suspension).
Cardiff City v. Liverpool — 11:30 a.m. ET, on NBCSN and NBCSports.com
Liverpool yet again has to put pressure on Manchester City to have any hope in the Premier League title race. Ahead of the midweek Manchester derby, the Reds have the opportunity not just to take the lead but to stay there should City slip up at all against the Red Devils with their game in hand.
They'll need a result against a team fighting for its life. Cardiff City is in 17th in the Premier League table, three points shy of safety. A shocking win would put Cardiff in much better position, while a loss would see them potentially fall two games out. They've lost three straight and haven't scored in their last two, so Liverpool will be licking its chops.
INJURIES: Cardiff City — OUT: Souleymane Bamba (knee), Callum Paterson (ankle), Matthew Connolly (ankle), Harry Arter (calf), . QUESTIONABLE: Aron Gunnarsson (back). | Liverpool — OUT: none. QUESTIONABLE: Dejan Lovren (illness), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee).
Arsenal v. Crystal Palace — 11:30 a.m. ET, on NBC Sports Gold and NBCSports.com
The Gunners will know Manchester United's result before taking the field, to see whether they will be looking to strengthen their Champions League position or hoping to recapture it. Arsenal is currently in fourth, clinging barely to its spot in the top European competition, but they have been strong of late and have a soft schedule to finish the season, so there is no reason not to lock the spot down. Still, the injuries are rampant and there are fears that Aaron Ramsey's Arsenal career will end with the thigh injury he picked up midweek in Europa League play. Coupled with the three long-term injuries to Bellerin, Welbeck, and Holding plus Sokratis' suspension, the Gunners are thin.
Crystal Palace has little to play for at this point, sitting in 14th on 39 points but unlikely to be sucked into the relegation battle. Roy Hodgson has led the squad to five wins since the start of February, good enough form to keep them out of the maelstrom at the bottom of the table. They put up a decent fight against title leaders Manchester City last time out, and kept two straight clean sheets in the matches before that. However, they lost two important players recently in James Tomkins and Jeffrey Schlupp who both will miss the rest of the season after long-term injuries.
INJURIES: Arsenal — OUT: Aaron Ramsey (thigh), Hector Bellerin (knee), Rob Holding (knee), Danny Welbeck (ankle), Sokratis (suspended). QUESTIONABLE: Granit Xhaka (groin). | Crystal Palace — OUT: James Tomkins (groin), Jeffrey Schlupp (ankle), Mamadou Sakho (knee).

Cardiff City 2-1 Wolves: Hoilett stunner caps Cardiff comeback
By Kyle BonnNov 30, 2018, 4:57 PM EST
Cardiff City came back from a 1-0 first-half deficit to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers at home 2-1 for a massive three points in the relegation battle. Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett were the goalscorers who gave the home fans the day's excitement, striking 12 minutes apart for the victory.
Wolves struck first 18 minutes in off a corner, the seventh goal Cardiff has conceded from a set-piece this year. The ball swung in and came to the head of Raul Jiminez at the near post. His header was destined for the far corner, but Neil Etheridge made a diving save to push the ball away. His touch fell to a streaking Matt Doherty at the far post, and he roofed the effort from point-blank range.
Cardiff came incredibly close to an equalizer past the half-hour mark after a mad scramble in front of net led to a long-distance volley by Harry Arter that rattled the post, nearly producing a stunning strike.
After the break, Gunnarsson took advantage of poor defending from Wolves to bring Cardiff level. Arter pumped the ball into the box with a clumsy swing that popped it high in the air. Sean Morrison got his head to it, and with Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio indecisive and the rest of the defense nowhere to be found, Gunnarsson lept into the air and scissor-kicked the ball into the net from close range.
That set Cardiff up for the moment of the match came the hosts as Hoilett put them into the lead with 13 minutes to go. Morrison chested down a deep cross into the box, laying it off for Callum Paterson right on the penalty spot, but he whiffed. The ball trickled to substitute Bobby Reid whose wild swing was blocked, and eventually the ball landed at the feet of Hoilett at the top-left corner of the box. He produced what the others could not, a moment of perfection that sailed effortlessly into the top corner of the net, past a helplessly outstretched Rui Patricio.
WHAT A GOAL! A beautiful curler from Hoilett! pic.twitter.com/XDp9QRcYxj
— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) November 30, 2018
That strike against the run of play set Cardiff City up for all three points, as the home side kept Wolves off the scoreboard the rest of the way and earned the three points. It was the perfect 70th birthday for Neil Warnock, as his side moved out of the relegation zone with its third win of the season.
For Wolves, it's a disappointing result against a team they were expected to beat. They miss the chance to jump into the top half of the table, instead sitting in 11th, two points back of Leicester City.

PL Preview: Tottenham vs. Cardiff City
By Kyle BonnOct 5, 2018, 8:21 PM EDT
Winless in the league through the season's first seven matches, Cardiff City will look to take advantage of a banged up Tottenham Hotspur as they meet at Wembley Stadium on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. live on NBCSN or live online at NBCSports.com.
[ WATCH LIVE: Tottenham vs. Cardiff live on NBCSports.com ]
Tottenham will be without defender Jan Vertonghen who has picked up a hamstring problem and could miss as much as six weeks. Along with the Belgian defender, Spurs will miss Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele who are all sidelined with various injuries. Spurs will especially miss the creativity of Eriksen, who has been out since suffering what Pochettino called an "abdomen problem" he picked up after the 2-1 victory over Brighton in late September.
Spurs have been all over the place with results of late, but they've done enough to put themselves into fourth place in the Premier League table. They fell to Barcelona in midweek Champions League play, carved up by Lionel Messi and company. However, they've been perfect through Premier League play aside from a two-game losing skid back in early September.
For Cardiff City, manager Neil Warnock is fearing the sack if the Premier League new boys can't pick up points, and fast. With just two points through the first seven matches, Cardiff sits in 19th, level on points with Huddersfield Town and Newcastle. They are without midfielder Aron Gunnarsson this weekend who is on his way back from a knee injury, while Junior Hoilett is reportedly fit and ready to go.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino on playing a weaker team: "The most difficult game is the game that everyone believes, outside of the team, that you must win. For us it's so important to be motivated at the same level. If not we're going to struggle."
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock on the possibility of being fired: "If we don't get results, no doubt it will become someone else's problem. Every manager is under pressure. You do find every big agent is pushing managers' names. I have heard two or three be mentioned already for my job, but that's not just me, every manager gets that."
This Tottenham team is banged up, but right now Cardiff City is just not scoring enough to be trusted against such a disciplined team like Tottenham. An early goal will put Cardiff out of its comfort zone, and it will be elementary from there in a 2-0 Spurs win.

PL Sunday preview: 19th hosts 17th when Cardiff, Burnley meet

Only one game on the Premier League docket for Sunday, but it's one that carries much weight in the 2018-19 relegation battle…
[ MORE: What did we learn in the Premier League, Week 7? ]
Cardiff City vs. Burnley — 11 a.m. ET, on NBCSN and NBCSports.com
Cardiff came into the season as the overwhelming favorites to be relegated from — if not to finish dead last in — the PL, and the Bluebirds entered the weekend right where everyone expected them to be: bottom of the table, with just two points to show for their first six games. Then, a funny thing happened on Saturday: Neil Warnock's side rose to 19th without having yet played this weekend, thanks to Huddersfield Town's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Given Cardiff's inability to score goals, they might have already experienced the highlight of their week.
For all of Burnley's struggles to start the season — and there have been plenty, as the Clarets collected just one point from their first five games before picking up their first win last weekend — Sean Dyche's side has still put together a defensive record which ranks in the top half of the PL (10 goals conceded in six games, 9th-fewest). That likely spells trouble for Cardiff, who have scored a PL-low three goals thus far.
The only possible silver lining for Cardiff — one that Warnock will be desperately hoping to realize — is that while they conceded a dozen goals in their last three games, they did so against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. They're hardly the only side that'll ship a large number in consecutive games against top-four hopefuls, and perhaps that challenge will have prepared Warnock's men for the more realistic challenge that is a fellow relegation battler.
INJURIES: Cardiff — OUT: Aron Gunnarsson (knee), Peltier (shoulder) | Burnley — OUT: Ben Gibson (abdomen), Nick Pope (shoulder), Robbie Brady (fitness)

Denmark has a new Queen.
Queen Margrethe was proclaimed sovereign of Denmark on Saturday (5 Jan)?
Background: Denmark has a new Queen.
Queen Margrethe was proclaimed sovereign of Denmark on Saturday (5 Jan) in a simple ceremony at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen.
She is the first woman to ascend the Danish throne.
More than fifty-thousand people were outside the Castle to watch the ceremony high on a balcony.
Earlier, the body of her father, King Frederick the Ninth was carried from the hospital where he died, to Amalienborg Castle.
There the coffin will lie in the Knight's Hall until it is taken to the Christiansborg Palace Chapel for three days of lying-in-state.
SYNOPSIS: Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen -- to where on Saturday the body of the late King Frederick the Ninth was carried. Flags throughout the Danish capital have been lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect to the King who had ruled the country for nearly a quarter of a century. Thousands of people watched silently as the coffin carrying the King's body was taken from the hospital where he died, through the streets, to the Castle.
The King's body will lie in the Knight's Hall until it is carried to the Christiansborg Palace Chapel, where it will lie in state for three days.
And it was at Christiansborg Palace on Saturday that fifty-thousand people gathered to watch a simple ceremony at which Queen Margrethe was proclaimed Denmark's first woman sovereign.
The Queen is daughter of the late King, and is 31.


A national program to reduce rehospitalizations may have increased death rates for heart failure patients, researchers reported Nov. 12.
A study published in the medical journal JAMA Cardiology found heart failure mortality rates increased during the federal Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, which incentivizes hospitals to avoid excessively hospitalizing patients within 30 days of their previous hospitalization. Gregg Fonarow, a UCLA physician and a senior author of the study, said the researchers were concerned that strategies hospitals take to reduce readmissions could ultimately be harmful to patients.
Congress established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program to reduce health care costs as part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, Fonarow said. The program fines hospitals a portion of their Medicare payments for excessively rehospitalizing Medicare patients. This year, the program penalized more than two-thirds of hospitals in the U.S., resulting in millions of dollars in fines for some hospitals.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance to Americans aged 65 and older. Fonarow added that the Medicare officials and health care policy experts who designed the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program believe it benefits patients by incentivizing hospitals to improve quality of care and prevent unneeded repeat patient visits.
Patients with heart failure had the highest readmission rate within 30 days of discharge – about 25 percent for Medicare patients – before the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program came into effect, said Michael Ong, a UCLA cardiologist.
Some heart failure experts are concerned the program could worsen patient outcomes because hospitals with the highest readmission rates for heart failure tend to have the lowest mortality rates, Fonarow said.
The researchers analyzed data in a heart failure patient registry from the American Heart Association, which includes roughly 100,000 Medicare patients from more than 400 hospitals, Fonarow said. They found that after the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was implemented, the readmission rates within both 30 days and one year of discharge decreased for heart failure patients while the mortality rates increased, after accounting for the patients' illness severity.
"When you see that there's a potential tradeoff with mortality, it should give you pause," Ong said.
The program also does not account for many socio-economic factors that affect patient outcomes for heart failure, he added. Hospitals could be unfairly fined for readmitting patients requiring hospitalization because they live alone, far away from their hospital or lack the resources to obtain their medications.
Boback Ziaeian, a UCLA cardiologist, said heart failure experts believe the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program does not accurately predict which patients are likely to need readmission, and might incorrectly determine that a hospital's readmission rate was higher than expected.
Ziaeian said that inaccuracy could disproportionately penalize hospitals with vulnerable patients who have high readmission rates, many of whom depend on government resources.
"How do we expect hospitals in already low-income regions to respond to getting more of their Medicare dollars cut because of their high readmission rates?" he said.
Fonarow added financial considerations could put undue pressure on hospitals to avoid penalties. For example, hospital administrators may advise emergency room physicians to send home returning heart failure patients, no matter how sick they are, to avoid readmitting them within 30 days, he said.
Fonarow said the study does not prove the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program caused the increased heart failure mortality in recent years – the researchers only observed that mortality changed along with the program's implementation and reduced readmissions. However, he added that the researchers believe the program should be suspended for heart failure patients until researchers can further study on its effects.

Standard Lithium Signs MoU with Global Specialty Chemical Company LANXESS for the Development of Commercially Viable Extraction of Lithium from Operational Smackover Brine Resource
Download as PDF May 09, 2018 7:00am EDT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Lithium Ltd. ("Standard Lithium" or the "Company") (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQX:STLHF) (FRA:S5L) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with global specialty chemicals company LANXESS Corporation ("LANXESS") and its US affiliate Great Lakes Chemical Corporation ("GLCC"), with the purpose of testing and proving the commercial viability of extraction of lithium from brine ("tail brine") that is produced as part of Lanxess's bromine extraction business at its three Southern Arkansas facilities.
LANXESS' land operations in Southern Arkansas encompass more than 150,000 acres, 10,000 brine leases and surface agreements and 250 miles of pipelines. LANXESS extracts the brine from their wells located throughout the area, and the brine is transported to the three Arkansas plants through a network of pipelines. The three bromine extraction plants currently employ approximately 500 people and process and reinject several hundred thousand barrels of brine per day.
Standard Lithium has developed proprietary processes related to the extraction of high purity lithium directly from brines, including tail brine. Additionally, the Company has secured the rights to conduct exploration, production and lithium extraction activities on roughly 30,000 acres of brine leases located elsewhere in the Smackover Formation in Southwest Arkansas.
The MoU sets out the basis on which the parties have agreed to cooperate in a phased process towards developing commercial opportunities related to the production, marketing and sale of battery grade lithium products extracted from tail brine and brine produced from the Smackover Formation. The MoU forms the basis of what will become a definitive agreement and is binding until the execution of a more comprehensive agreement that the parties may execute on the completion of further development phases. Standard Lithium has paid an initial US$3,000,000 reservation fee to LANXESS to secure access to the tail brine, with additional fees and obligations in the future subject to certain conditions.
Robert Mintak CEO of Standard Lithium commented "We are delighted to be entering into a cooperation with Lanxess, a highly-respected world leader in the specialty chemical sector." Mr. Mintak added, "given the scale of the existing infrastructure and potential resource, the mitigation of project execution risks and acceleration of the Smackover project development timeline, this MoU represents an important step for Standard Lithium."
Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of the Company stated "This project provides the perfect opportunity to test modern brine processing technology on an existing lithium brine stream. We hope to move as quickly as possible towards deploying our Pilot Plant."
About Standard Lithium
Standard's value creation strategy encompasses acquiring a diverse and highly prospective portfolio of large-scale domestic brine resources, led by an innovative and results-oriented management team with a strong focus on technical skills and modern brine processing technologies. The Company is currently engaged in the exploration and resource development of the California Lithium Projects located in the Mojave region of San Bernardino County, California; the project area has significant infrastructure in-place, with easy road and rail access, abundant electricity and water sources, and is already permitted for extensive brine extraction and processing activities. The Company is also rapidly conducting resource evaluation on up to 30,000 acres of brine leases located in the Smackover Formation in Southwestern Arkansas.
Standard Lithium is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "SLL"; quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "STLHF"; and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "S5L". Please visit the Company's website at www.standardlithium.com.

Home Projects Development of a virtual laboratory for natural language processing from a functional paradigm (...
Development of a virtual laboratory for natural language processing from a functional paradigm (FFI2014-53788-C3-1-P)
The purpose of this project aims at converting ARTEMIS (Automatically Representing TExt Meaning via an Interlingua-based System) - currently a laboratory prototype which allows the automatic generation of a conceptual logical structure (CLS) on the basis of a reduced sample of sentences, into a semantic and syntactic analyser which operates in real scenarios, beyond the stage of simulation.
This project can be described as an original contribution at the following levels:
(i) at linguistic level, this research intends to compile a complete computational grammar of the English language based on the functional model of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG);
(ii) in the same vein, it provides the formal representation systems (attribute-value matrices) and specifies the mechanisms of unification (or constraints) between lexical units and constructional schemata in the framework of a computational implementation;
(iii) at the level of natural language processing, this project also offers an application based on a model of linguistic representation for information retrieval and extraction in multilingual settings, which differentiates it from other proposals founded on stochastic approaches;
(iv) moreover, it offers solutions to the ambiguity problem raised by a unification grammar, where the constraints help to determine the structural preference and the semantic plausibility. More specifically, two fundamental cases about ambiguity which will be dealt with are anaphora resolution and semantic disambiguation;
(v) and finally, it implements a virtual lab, FunGramKB NLP Lab, which helps the linguists, who normally do not possess knowledge about computer programming, to develop specific tools for their research as well as to apply the components of this virtual lab to the implementation of an intelligent system for teaching English as a foreign language.
In essence, once this project has been implemented, we will have a fully developed system capable of analyzing syntactically and semantically an input text. In conclusion, ARTEMIS can be described as the first computational system that may offer an enriched semantic representation of a sentence in the framework of a functionalist theory, as it is the case of RRG.

Our Rock Band Camp courses offer to give our students the opportunity to work alongside our other budding musicians in a band situation.
This is a completely different discipline to playing by yourself. It offers students different challenges which will develop your playing and enjoyment in many different ways.
The format of the workshops is to have drummers, guitarists, bass guitarists, singers, and keyboard students all working together to play up to three songs from start to finish.
This takes place over three, three hour sessions on consecutive days, with guidance and advice from the tutors at Right Track Music. At the end of the second session, the band will play live to an audience.
Their will also be opportunities for the band to perform live at at The Windmill Inn in Willesborough at their open mic night, also a chance to perform at the Right Track Music student showcase in Ashford.
The cost of the workshop is £85 per student taking part.
For further information or to book a place on the workshops please contact us on 01233 647474 or via email.

# APLIKASI SISTEM PAKAR DETEKSI DINI PADA PENYAKIT TUBERKULOSIS

### SISTEM PAKAR

Sistem pakar adalah suatu program komputer cerdas

yang menggunakan knowledge (pengetahuan)

dan prosedur inferensi untuk menyelesaikan masalah

yang cukup sulit sehingga membutuhkan seorang

yang ahli untuk menyelesaikannya (Feigenbaum , 1982).

## Empat Komponen Pembentuk Sistem Pakar:
> 1. Basis Pengetahuan (Knowledge Base)
> 2. Basis Data (Data Base)
> 3. Mesin Inferensi (Inferensi Engineer)
> 4. Antar Muka Pemakai (User Interface)

### Basis Pengetahuan
> Basis pengetahuan itu merupakan inti dari program sistem pakar di mana basis pengetahuan ini merupakan representasi (Knowledge Representasion) dari seorang pakar.

## Basis Data
> Basis data adalah bagian yang mencatat semua fakta-fakta, baik fakta awal pada saat sistem mulai beroperasi maupun fakta-fakta yang didapat pada saat proses inferensi sedang berlangsung.

## Mesin Inferensi
> Mesin inferensi adalah bagian yang mengandung mekanisme fungsi berpikir dan polapola
> penalaran sistem yang digunakan oleh seorang pakar.

## Antar Muka Pemakai
> Antar muka pemakai adalah bagian penghubung antara program sistem pakar dengan pemakai.

# Representasi Pengetahuan
> 1. Pengetahuan (Pohon Keputusan)
> 2. DFD
> 3. ERD
> 4. Struktur Menu Program
