Anytime you turn on the television you see advertisements for online or DIY (do-it-yourself) Wills and other Legal Services. I've reviewed hundreds of these types of documents and I have yet to see one that was actually valid in the clients state of residency. I've talked to other attorneys, in states all across America, and they've encountered the same issue.
So, I wanted to share the article titled "The Case Against Do-it-Yourself Wills". The author of the Forbes article has spent years researching online Wills and shares what she has found.


New rehabilitation protocols based on neurotechnology that combine targeted electrical stimulation of the lumbar spinal cord and weight-assisted therapy have made three paraplegics who sustained cervical spinal cord injuries many years ago to be able to walk with the aid of crutches or a walker.
"Our findings are based on a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms which we gained through years of research on animal models. We were thus able to mimic in real time how the brain naturally activates the spinal cord," says EPFL neuroscientist Grégoire Courtine. "All the patients could walk using body weight support within one week. I knew immediately that we were on the right path," adds CHUV neurosurgeon Jocelyne Bloch, who surgically placed the implants in the patients.

Participants of the Warsaw Uprising.
In Memory of the Warsaw Uprising
Walking around Warsaw on a daily basis, I have not become a stranger to witnessing memorials or places where something important in history has occurred. Everywhere in Warsaw it seems to be a reminder of the dark past. The oppression started on September 1st, 1939 when the German Nazis invaded Poland. The population was separated by the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto. People starved with the food rations that were issued, died of the lack of general hygiene, and tried to escape whenever they could.
During the rise of the Nazis, the Polish Secret Army formed. Everything was covert, preserving the element of surprise. The Secret Army was planning an uprising at "W Hour" or 5 pm. Although a surprise, it was a failure—killing over 200,000 people. Conditions stayed the same if not worse, and many were sent to be killed at nearby death camp Auschwitz. It was a tragedy that not even the level of pride could have helped and the Nazis stayed in power.
I woke up 73 years later on the date, to find that the city had a different mood than the other days. Every storefront had the Polish flag with red and white, and the traditional Polish flag with red and yellow, waving proudly in the wind. The city had more tourists than ever, it seemed, with all the streets buzzing even at 9 am. I continued on to my day when a coworker told me about the celebration that will be happening later that evening. It was going to start at 5pm with a minute of standing still, to honor those brave enough to take back what was theirs 73 years ago. Then after, parades and songs will be sung to showcasing the pride of the Poles.
At 4:30 pm, I left my internship to venture into Old Town. I figured that the road would be busy enough that I could see enough of everything that would be happening at 5. Three minutes of, the streets got more crowded and store workers shut down shop and stood outside. At exactly 5 pm, the busses and cars stopped driving, the people stopped walking, and sirens filled the air.
After, the streets were blocked off by police so that a parade of people could march while singing Uprising chants. People filled the sidewalks to watch the memory of the tragic event. Although I am not a native, I was able to stand and appreciate what was happening on the streets. This city and country was built on pride, and this anniversary showed that people were willing to risk everything they had to get back their country that was wrongfully taken away from them.

Introduction Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a member of the Solanaceae family and is of significant importance as a source of edible starch. It is native of South America and is primarily a temperate crop. In India potato has been in cultivation since its introduction in the early part of the 17th century (Choudhury 2003). Starch is one of the most abundant carbohydrates present in nature. It is widely distributed amongst the plant kingdom from seeds and stems to leaves and roots. It is a major industrial raw material. It is used in diverse products from papers, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, prepared foods and plastics (Nand et al. 2008; Mweta et al. 2008). Cereals, roots and tubers are major sources of industrial starch production. In most parts of the world maize provides the cheapest source of starch and in India starch is mainly extracted from maize and cassava. Starch from tuber crops have specific quality characteristics which may be used to for processing of different food products which require unique properties of the processed products (Fuglie 1998). In India there is problem in storing large quantities of potato during periods of high temperatures, due to shortage of cold storage space in many states, erratic electric supply and costly cold storage facility. Properties of native starch is also altered during storage which makes them unsuitable for certain use (Ezekiel et al. 2010). Starch can be extracted from potatoes which can find specific uses in food and other industries and also alleviate the problem of storing large quantities of potato during periods of high temperature (Marwaha 1997). The high water content and other morphological similarities of tuber crops require a familiar technological process of starch extraction from these crops (Kallabinski and Balagopalan 1994).
The starch granules present in the roots and tubers are embedded in cellulosic fibers and held together by pectin substrates (Rahman and Rakshit 2004). In industrial processes potato starch is mainly extracted by mechanical disintegration of the cell wall and washing out of the starch granules by water (Joshi and Kulkarni 1993). Such methods are energy intensive and may result in a lower starch recovery; also the starch granules are damaged which affects the properties of the starch. Enzymes can be used to get higher recovery of starch from tuber crops. The most distinctive feature of enzymes is that they can effectively operate at mild physiological conditions, at atmospheric pressure, temperatures up to 100 °C and pH of 3–10 (Klacik 1988). Several investigations showed that enzymes can be used to get higher recovery of starch and to reduce the protein content of extracted starch from cereals (Johnston and Singh 2004; Serna-Saldívar and Mezo-Villanueva 2003; Zheng and Bhatty 1998). It can also be used to reduce the steeping time of cereals (Johnston and Singh 2004; Steinke and Johnston 1991). Several authors have reported that recovery of starch from tubers can also be increased by using enzymes or by fermentation (Dzogbefia et al. 2008; Gayal and Hadge 2003; Padmanabhan et al. 1993; George et al. 1991). The present study was taken up because during times of overproduction much of the potatoes go waste in spite of having cold storages. If the starch from these excess potatoes can be extracted, the starch can be used for other purposes and also storing the extracted starch is convenient. In the present study the effects of cellulase concentration, incubation time and addition of water on recovery of starch were investigated. The main aim of the work is to examine whether cellulase treatment facilitates better recovery of starch from potato tuber as compared to conventional process.
0.4 g/100 g potato; Addition of water (BD) of 10 and 50 ml/100 g potato; and incubation time (IP) of 1 and 6 h. The response for the treatments was increase in starch extracted (SEI) in percent (%) from the control. In the present study control treatment means starch extracted without adding enzyme and without diluting the ground potato. Extraction of starch Starch was extracted as per the method described by Benesi et al. 2004 with modifications. The potatoes were washed under tap water so that any dirt adhered to it may be removed. After washing the potatoes were peeled and cut into small pieces of approximate 1 cm3. 100 g of cut potatoes were weighed and again washed in water and grinded in high speed commercial blender (Philips HL1632) for 2 min. The ground potato was then transferred to a conical flask and appropriate amount of water was added for addition of water. Enzyme was added to the ground potato as per the experimental design. The flask was cotton plugged and kept for incubation in incubator-shaker at 45 °C with a shaking speed of 125 rpm. The pH of all the samples was between 6 and 7 and cellulase enzyme is effective between pH 3 and 7. So, the pH of the broth was not changed. After incubation the resultant slurry was suspended in 500 ml of water and filtered through a double fold muslin cloth into a beaker. The filtrate was allowed to settle for 1 h to separate the starch from the other components. After sedimentation the supernatant was discarded. The top brown layer of the sediment was removed carefully by scraping and the settled starch washed with water and again kept for sedimentation for 1 h. The separated starch was dried in hot air oven at 50 °C for 24 h to reduce the moisture content of the starch to 12%.
Materials and methods Increase in starch extracted (SEI) Materials In the present study the material obtained after drying is referred to as starch extracted. The starch extracted is determined as starch extracted (SE)=(weight of the material after drying×100)/(weight of ground potato).
Potato variety 'Kufri Jyoti' was used for the experiments. The variety was collected from the farm of G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. The average starch content of the variety was found to be 13.36%. Cellulase enzyme procured from Bionic Naturals Pvt. Ltd., Delhi, India was used for all the experiments. The Filter Paper Activity of the enzyme was found to be 1300 IU/g of cellulase.
Moisture content of the dried materials was measured by hot air oven method (Ranganna 1997).
The measurement of weights was done on Mettler AE 166 balance (Capacity 150 g, Least count: 0.0001 g).
Data analysis All the experiments were conducted in triplicates. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Design Expert Software was conducted to see the significance of the main effects as well as their interactions on the response. The Least Significant Difference (LSD) method was used to determine the statistical difference between the eight treatment results for the response.
SEI- increase in starch extracted; EC- Enzyme concentration; IP- incubation time; BD- Addition of water Enzyme concentration (EC) of 0.1 and 0.4 g/100 g potato; Addition of water (BD) of 10 and 50 ml/100 g potato; and incubation time (IP) of 1 and 6 h. The response for the treatments was increase in starch extracted (SEI) in percent (%) from the control.
ences in SEI when IP and was BD low for different levels of EC and when EC was low and IP was high for different levels of BD. The reason may be at low EC and high IP all the enzyme molecules get sufficient time for contacting the substrates and also as the concentration was already low the SEI was not affected by addition of water. From Fig. 1 (c) it can be seen that SEI was not much affected by BD at high IP and it is also not affected by IP at low level of BD when EC was low. But, significant differences in SEI existed between different levels of IP and BD when EC was high showing that IP and BD are significant only at high concentration of enzyme.

During the sixteenth century, all universities, both Catholic and Protestant, taught mathematics. From on, the secondary schools of the Society of Jesus, founded in the part of Europe still faithful to the Roman Church also did so, and this new religious order played an important role in the teaching of mathematics during the period of the Author: Louis Châtellier.
Political culture can be thought Century of contrast as a nation's political personality. It encompasses the deep-rooted, well-established political traits that are characteristic of a society. Political culture takes into account the attitudes, values, and beliefs that people in a society have about the political system.

Eak-tai Ahn(1906-1965), a composer of the Korean National Anthem is more famous as a conductor than as a composer. In his only about ten more pieces, we can find frequently the same melodies. Arirang theme, a theme composed by Eak-tai Ahn, based on folk song Arirang. He used this theme in the 1944 edition and in the 1950 edition of his Symphonic Fantasy, 'Korea'. He eliminated this theme from the 1952 edition of `Korea`. But he reused this theme in his song The White Lily in 1962 and in his piano solo Meditation of unknown composition year. Eak-tai Ahn composed another song based on folk song Arirang, Arirang Hill, in 1935. But this piece is characterized by activeness and cheerfulness with Allegretto gioco ben ritmo. He shows a strong attachment to Arirang theme. His Arirang theme is derived from Bonjo-Arirang. It is a theme song of movie Arirang by Un-Gyu Na in 1926 with a topic of anti-Japanese movement. Eak-tai Ahn expressed a national identity and a love of his country using Arirang theme in his own pieces.

We all have 'em. Old pictures; faded, sometimes folded, maybe ripped, missing a corner, rudely marked with a ball point pen, scratched, poked, stained. Sometimes the only remaining physical image of a loved one long gone, sometimes a favorite snapshot taken on the spur of the moment (and if only that guy in foreground hadn't been there). Legacy images are hard prints that have no ancestry… no negative, certainly no digital file; wispy figments that give our memories some substance.
And there is the artwork left behind. Watercolors, oils, and pencil drawings of people and places that suddenly take on new meaning when the artist has passed. Images hung for years in forgotten corners, stored in the back of a closet, under a bed, or stacked in the attic. Suddenly, everyone in the family wants it.
Legacy images frequently come with a lot of baggage. Many times, they are part of an inheritance; a singular treasure sought after by those left behind. Sometimes they become the symbol of a sibling rivalry still unresolved. After years of working with these type of images, I think we've seen all of the above.
In order to reproduce any image, it needs to be digitized. So, the first consideration for reproduction of legacy prints (images which have no negative or digital file available) is size. Most easily accessible flatbed scanners max out at about 12″x18″. If the original is larger than this size, it will most likely have to be photographed. I'll talk about that process and its pitfalls in a later post, so for now let's assume you've got a print that fits into the 12″x18″ space.
Next question we're likely to ask is what the original is printed on? Is it an old photograph that's loose or a photo that was mounted and hand painted? Is it framed, was it matted, can we take it apart? The best results in flatbed scanning require that the image lays perfectly flat on the glass. Many old images are printed (or mounted) on curved surfaces. These types of curved surfaces are never going to scan perfectly on a flatbed.
Many old photos have simply been placed in a frame under glass with no matte. This is a red flag for scanning. If any moisture has manged to get between the image and the glass, there's quite possibly mold feasting on the emulsion. If it's a photo that is pressing up to the glass, even without any moisture, a chemical reaction is possible between the glass and the print. It's one of the reasons we always recommend using a matte for any print going under glass, to keep the surface of the print from contacting the glass.
We frequently see a photo stuck to the glass. I recently was asked to reproduce an old color photo stuck to the glass in a frame. The proper way to handle this is to add a little liquid detergent (I used Photo-Flo) to some warm water and soak the glass with the print attached in that solution in a flat tray. (Have patience.) In this case, we not only freed the print from the glass, we discovered two other prints stuck to the back of the original print that the customer didn't realize were there. Seems Mom just kept putting a new print over the old one. All the prints were in amazingly good shape after allowing them to dry on a flat surface.
As long as we can put the image flat on the scanner, we probably can get a decent scan. For images that can't be taken out of the frame, a camera shot will have to made. It's possible to flatbed scan through glass but the process is a bit tricky.
The first time you take your prints out of the envelope and look at them, you are probably damaging them. Each time you flip through them, like a deck of cards, you are causing little specks of the emulsion to flake off. Most aren't readily visible to the naked eye, but they will show up on a scan, especially if you elect to make the image larger. Put it in your wallet and you are asking for trouble later on when you want to make a copy. The combination of heat, abrasion, and pressure can ruin the image. So keeping your old photos in a stack is a sure way to gradually make them worse. And for goodness sake, don't write on the back of your photos with a ballpoint pen. This writing will invariably show up in a scan as if you wrote on the face of the print, backwards. If you must write on the back of a print, use a felt tip marker or very soft pencil with a light touch.
Polaroid prints pose a special challenge. Many were unevenly "fixed," some were never "fixed" (that's the wet swipe you were supposed to make on the print after you separated it from the backing). How well they were handled after that separation will determine how well they will scan.
I'm often approached by someone with a box of prints they want to "put on disc." Maybe 50 or 100 or more. My advice is always the same: buy a scanner. If you have a lot of prints that are in good shape (not faded or damaged, too dark or too light), any good quality scanner (many of which are available for about $100 or so) will do a reasonable job of digitizing them. Granted, it will take you a while, but it will still be cheaper than paying someone else to do it. If you have some prints that don't fit into the "good quality" framework; prints that have color that needs to be corrected, are too dark or too light or that you plan to enlarge, those are the ones you might want to have someone like me scan on a more robust scanner.
Scanning on a device like our Scitex Eversmart Pro is a complicated, time-consuming process. While any scanner can scan at a high enough resolution for reproduction, what makes our scanner more effective than what you might purchase at your local Best Buy is it's ability to discern a greater number of shades of color, and thus detail, in very light or very dark areas. This measurement of a scanner's ability, often referred to as "D-Max," is the reason some scanners cost hundreds and others cost in the 5-figure range. The other big advantage of the Scitex is the very robust software interface it uses, allowing a broad range of quality enhancing operations as part of the scanning process.
These days most people have moved to digital platforms. But many of the photos we took decades ago are starting to fade and disappear. As the price of film and processing dropped, the quality and permanence of the prints we got dropped as well. It's time to take a look at those pictures of mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, and assess how they are faring. Scanning them while they are still in good shape can save the image and money at the same time.

New hope for patients with macular degeneration
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in Australia, affecting one in seven people over the age of 50.
The impact of this disease that impairs the central field of vision is profound but thanks to research being conducted by QUT scientists and students a new treatment for macular degeneration is under development.
Associate Professor Damien Harkin of the School of Biomedical Sciences at QUT has spent the last seven years developing innovative ways to repair the eye in collaboration with scientists and clinicians at the Queensland Eye Institute (QEI).
A novel aspect of this work has been to explore the use of proteins found in silk as materials on which to grow and transplant new eye tissue.
Having successfully applied this concept to corneal stem cells, Professor Harkin and his QEI-based team have now turned their attention to the challenge of treating diseases of the retina and in particular macular degeneration.
"The ultimate goal of our research is to develop an effective, affordable and accessible treatment for patients afflicted with age-related macular degeneration," Professor Harkin said.
"The use of stem cells in conjunction with silk proteins is just one of many good ideas worth investigating."
Supported by The Macular Diseases Foundation of Australia (MDFA), Professor Harkin and his team were recently awarded a prestigious grant to explore the potential of silk proteins as materials for repairing the retina.
QUT students past and present have played a vital role in Professor Harkin's important research including Dr Laura Bray who was awarded the inaugural Prime Minister's Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award in 2012 to continue her studies of corneal tissue engineering using silk proteins in Dresden, Germany.
More recently, the group's studies of the retina have been driven by the efforts of Ms Audra Shadforth, who is exploring the use of silk proteins as a scaffold for retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.
"RPE cells are responsible for maintaining the survival and function of the retinal cells that are required to sense light (rods and cones)," Ms Shadforth said.
"As the retina ages, the RPE cells in some people appear to become 'tired' and can eventually die, leading to vision loss.
"Damage can also occur within the surrounding tissue, resulting in bleeding into the back of the eye. Our goal is to produce a patch of healthy retinal tissue that repairs the damage while also supplying new healthy RPE cells."
Professor Harkin's team will move in early 2014 to a purpose built eye research facility within the new Queensland Eye Institute and South Bank Day Hospital at 140 Melbourne Street, South Brisbane.

How somewhere along the way in college I stopped writing to the "sound" of the sentences in my head and started writing to the "sound" of the philosophy books and papers I was trying to emulate. It had generally good results in school but I think it will be good to get back to a less stilted, more flowy kind of writing, while hopefully retaining the rigor and logic and other skills I picked up there.
A Writing note to self: Don't read back what you've written until the end of the sitting; just keep going. Reading back can be a form of procrastination. You tell yourself it's necessary for getting a bird's-eye view of the piece, but really it's a way of avoiding the hard mental work of finding the next step.

About FIRES
Jan Luiten van Zanden
Home / Jan Luiten van Zanden
Jan Luiten van Zanden is Faculty Professor Global Economic History at Utrecht University and Honorary Professor at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
He was Secretary-General (1998-2006), Vice-President (2006-2009) and is currently President (2009-2012) of the International Economic History Association, the most important international organization in this field, which organizes the World Economic History Congress. The XVth World Economic History Congress was held in Utrecht, in August 2009 (about 1300 participants).
He is or has been member of the editorial board of Journal of Economic History, Economic History Review, and European Review of Economic History.
In 2011 he was awarded the prize 'Akademiehoogleraar' by the Royal Academy of Sciences. In 2003 Van Zanden was awarded the Spinoza premium, the highest distinction in Dutch sciences, by NWO.
His research can be summarized by referring to two large research projects he has set up recently. The project 'Agency, Gender and Economic Development' (funded in open competition by NWO) analyzes the complex links between economic development and 'agency', defined as 'the capacity for autonomous social action'; it aims to test what he calls the Sen hypothesis, that agency (or freedom) enhances economic development, and vice versa. It focuses on the one hand on agency at the micro level – at the consequences of (arranged or consensus) marriage, and different family systems – and on the other hand on agency at the macro-level, at political participation and democratization. It is inspired by institutional economics and development studies (for example concerning female empowerment) and tries to link these approaches. It has resulted in papers on 'Girlpower' (the genesis of the European Marriage Pattern), on institutional determinants of long-term patterns of urbanization (From Baghdad to London), on the economic consequences of European parliaments between 1188 and 1789, and most recently on the effects of dictatorship on growth (and a book on the 'long road' to the Industrial Revolution).
The second projects concerns Clio Infra, a large research infrastructural project (also funded by NWO) aimed at putting together and standardizing the economic, social-political and demographic data about the world economy between 1500 and 2010. Part of it is the Maddison project, which aims at continuing the work done by Angus Maddison in the field of historical national accounting. Clio Infra broadens the scope and includes data on other aspects of economic performance (such as biological standard of living), institutions, demographic and social indicators. Its goal is to provide a research infrastructure for the study of global inequality. Work on this has produced papers on global income distribution (1820-2000), real wages in Asia, Europe and Latin America, GDP of Holland between 1347 and 1800, GDP of the Cape Colony in the 18th century, the GDP of the Yangtze Delta in the 1820s or a book on Indonesia between 1800 and 2010.
The central role he plays within the economic-historical community (a.o. as President of the IEHA) gives him access to scholars and their data worldwide, necessary for Clio Infra. Part of the research strategy is to set up projects with colleagues from abroad, to organize regular conferences (we organized the XVth World Economic History Congress in 2009, and we set up the Centre for Global Economic History to institutionalize these activities), and work with those colleagues on projects and papers (co-authored recently with colleagues from China, Argentina, South Africa, Germany, the UK, Greece). The Utrecht research group also has become truly international 'workshop' with PhD students and postdocs from all over the globe. The ultimate goal is to understand why some countries became rich and others remained poor.

Once upon a time, there was a television channel called the SciFi Network. On this channel, you could view some of the trashiest pulp garbage that a young mind could ever want. Beyond Skyline, starring Frank Grillo, is a return to those halcyon days.
This is what happens when a director gets some money to play with, and technology democratizes previously unreachable special effects. Basically reading like a Halo fan fiction with a little bit of Body Snatchers thrown in, Beyond Skyline wastes no expense bringing Battle for Los Angeles graphics to a story written by someone who was once told what a story was, and acted by people who are only tangentially familiar with the concept of acting.
This movie is what would happen if a Fifth Grade assembly play were given a special effects budget.
Geostorm may have shown us just how good truly bad can be, but Beyond Skyline will make you long for the acting chops of Kevin Sorbo in Andromeda. I'm glad to see there's an interest in every day science fiction, but you should definitely go knocking on all of the other available doors first.
Damien gives this a ONE – RUN AWAY SCREAMING.

Tonight's your opportunity to tune in live as Wilton's top governing Board fills an open spot. The Board of Selectmen are holding a special meeting tonight, Monday, July 30 at 8 p.m., to fill the open seat vacated by Michael Kaelin in June. The meeting will air live on Ch. 79.
For policy wonks, this is transparency. For entertainment lovers, think of it like "Wilton Municipal Idol."
First Selectwoman Lynne Vanderslice suggested that instead of interviewing the candidates in executive session, the BOS members should interview them during the public portion of the meeting. "Since this is normally an elected position, that we do the interviews in public, since it is a vacancy." She referred to a similar, public interview process that the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted to select new members of the Village District Design Committee.
There are two candidates that the BOS will consider–the Republican Town Committee candidate, Josh Cole, and the Democratic Town Committee candidate, Ceci Maher. No unaffiliated candidates petitioned to be considered.
The board will then deliberate and decide in executive session before returning to open session naming its choice.

Wilton Heights
With multiple applications in front of P&Z, the proposed Wilton Heights Development project for 300 Danbury Rd./Rte. 7 (at the Ridgefield Rd./Rte. 33 intersection) is still ongoing and once again the public hearings were open for resident comment on the first two applications–one for a zoning change from R1-A to Wilton Center District; the second for regulation text change regarding Area and Bulk requirements.
The five residents who spoke did so mostly in opposition to proposed changes. The hearing was left open and will continue on Sept. 10 (the next meeting of the commission).
The third application–for a special permit to allow mixed use retail stores on the ground floor and residential units on higher floors–was withdrawn and will be reopened on Sept. 24.
New Childcare Business Approved
The commission approved an application for a new child daycare facility to be built at 213 Danbury Rd., just north of the new assisted senior living project on the former Young's Nursery property. The childcare business will be called The Learning Experience.
Zone Change for 255, 261 and 265 Danbury Rd.
Commissioners approved a zone change for the properties at 255, 261 and 265 Danbury Rd. from Design Retail Business to General Business. This zone change will allow the applicant, Joseph Tomas, to plan to build a new building combining retail on the ground floor and five apartments on the second story l.

The Innovation Ecosystem
So Many Innovation Hubs, So Hard to Find Them
This article originally appeared in Government Executive on Sept. 11, 2019
By Anne Laurent
It's still too hard for emerging companies and the agencies looking for them to find each other.
I recently met a vice president from a hot artificial intelligence startup that found its way into a deal with a U.S. intelligence community agency. The company's product uses AI to enable the rapid identification of elements on video, so you can imagine why the IC agency was interested.
But the story the young executive told me about how this vital capability eventually got into the hands of the IC should give us pause.
Like so many startups with great new capabilities and not much experience selling to government, the AI company was increasingly frustrated at its inability to break in at the IC agency. The staff either didn't know about or was unable to tap the vaunted and rapidly expanding ecosystem of government innovation brokerages created by the Pentagon, IC and civilian agencies. These innovation hubs came into existence precisely to ease the way into the government market for nontraditional suppliers with bleeding-edge products and services.
Instead, the AI firm's VP took an old-fashioned, circuitous route.
He went to an alumni event at his college hoping to snag a few minutes with an IC leader who was speaking to the group. He polished his elevator speech, jammed business cards in his pocket and muscled his way into the line of alumni awaiting a word with the speaker after the speech.
And he scored.
The IC leader connected him with an internal innovator at the agency. That fellow sent the startup guy to the agency's Silicon Valley tech scouting organization. Folks there helped the company break into the target agency, and finally, the firm hit pay dirt.
Potholes and Detours
Though it ended well for this small firm, the story points up potholes and detours in government efforts to pave a superhighway for innovators directly into the government market. In predictable bureaucratic fashion, would-be federal innovator sherpas have inadvertently become a convoluted, siloed maze.
The new buying methods these brokers employ truly are easier and faster and designed to attract firms that heretofore eschewed government's rule-laden, slow, intellectual-property-endangering, and expensive procurement process. Congress has provided remarkable new authority for the Defense Department and other agencies to waive procurement rules, test before buying, and get innovation fielded quickly.
National security agencies are bristling with tech scouting organizations attempting to broker connections between the makers of edgy technology and a government badly in need of an edge on near-peer U.S. adversaries who are catching up with and even exceeding our capabilities. Yet, the startups, emerging tech companies, inventors and other nontraditional government suppliers for whom the new authorities and brokerages were created now must navigate a labyrinth.
The welter of types, shapes and approaches is becoming nearly as daunting as the Federal Acquisition Regulation-laden, slow-twitch system that tech trailblazers rejected in the first place.
I know how overwhelming the ecosystem appears to outsiders because to understand it, I've begun mapping it. I am identifying government innovation brokers and the sponsors that fund them and charting the interest areas for which they seek innovators. So far, I've found 25 currently active other transaction (OT) authority consortia, 16 Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) organizations, and nearly 100 government innovation support agencies, ranging from the Marine Corps Rapid Capabilities Office to the Army Applications Laboratory to the National Geospatial Information Agency's GEOworks, with many in between.
All of them are in one way or another reaching out to the commercial market in search of innovators and innovations, often to address the same problems. For example, searching my map for the interest area "artificial intelligence," brings up nearly 20 widely differing organizations.
Among them are:
Other transaction authority consortia
An office devoted to running prize challenges
A federally funded research and development center
A website communicating IC needs to innovators
Technology scouting outposts
Several Defense Department research and rapid response procurement officesSmall business innovation and research (SBIR) programs
An office that evaluates, tests and develops emerging technology for federal agencies
A university-affiliated research center
Searching "cyber" calls up another 20 organizations, while "sensor" and "unmanned" each net almost as many. Each type of broker operates differently and serves different programs within the military services and defense and civilian agencies. So, for innovators from outside the government market, and even for some within, it's tough to divine what each variety of brokerage seeks on whose behalf, how they work, and how to interact with them.
This isn't to say no overlap should exist among innovation hubs or that a single office should be put in place to dictate innovation swim lanes or cap participants in the ecosystem, as the Congressional Research Service appears to favor for Defense. Innovation is messy and relies on unpredictable, serendipitous collisions among ideas, inventors, practitioners, and experts. Sometimes, utterly unexpected folks make conjectures about combining unconnected innovations that result in unimagined new capabilities.
Nonetheless, millions are being spent. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people are employed. Dozens of new organizations have sprung up, joining dozens more already in existence. All of it to make sure that every startup with a great product that might have a national security application gets hooked up with government. Yet many still remain undiscovered or too overwhelmed to bite.
Certainly, there is outreach. Some brokers hold design sprints and meetups at conferences and events. Some scour LinkedIn and other social media and websites and conferences where product and service pioneers congregate. Others tail venture capitalists or run hackathons, demo days, prize competitions and the like to draw in makers, tinkerers and masterminds. But getting to and into events costs time and money that lean young companies often don't have. And hearing about them still is more by happenstance than design.
Each OTA consortium charges a fee for membership, and most only show paid members the solicitations their sponsors issue. So, if the best solver hasn't paid up to join, the best solution goes wanting.
No 411 for Government, Either
Just as there's not a directory where emerging companies can look up matching government innovation hubs, there's no 411 for government to find them all either. This means not only that innovators who want into the ecosystem struggle, but defense and civilian agencies also are in the dark about each other's innovation brokers.
A promising prototype funded by one broker's sponsor might, with a tweak or two, be perfect for another's. But because neither knows the other exists, the opportunity for collaboration and savings is lost.
Many within the ecosystem believe innovation effervescence will subside and consolidation will reduce the size and complexity of the broker playing field. But with 2019 Defense OTA spending already exceeding last year's record and set to nearly double to more than $7 billion this year, the froth doesn't appear to be evaporating yet. More than half of last year's OTA spending went through consortia, and a new one, the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium, was born this summer. In addition, a Blue Force Tracking Consortium is due soon from the Army Futures Command's C5ISR Center. PIAs, incubators, accelerators, pitch days, and rapid capabilities organizations continue sprouting as well.
The challenge now is to get a handle on the innovation ecosystem without throttling it. That requires making it easier for innovators and innovation brokers to find one another and ensuring that government programs know about each other's innovation support organizations and their activities so collaboration and piggybacking become common.
As the solution emerges, I'll continue mapping—highlighting the highways, byways, scenic routes and can't-miss attractions across the network. Watch this space!

Car Trapped Under Big Rig In Crash On 5 Freeway; 1 Killed
Filed Under:5 Freeway, Sigalert
SANTA CLARITA (CBSLA) – A freeway collision involving a Mercedes-Benz and a big rig left at least one person dead, authorities said Tuesday.
The crash was reported just after 1 p.m. on the transition from the northbound Golden State (5) Freeway to the northbound Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in the Santa Clarita area.
Paramedics pronounced the driver of the Mercedes dead at the scene, according to the county fire department, but there were no details on the victim's identity.
The transition road was closed as investigators pored over the scene, triggering a several-mile traffic backup.

Q: Bytes Command Function Not Working for PySerial I have a function which takes a set of values and converts it into a bytes string. For example, I need:
input_array = ['E9', '01','06','57','4A','01','F4','01','01','EF']
## needs to become b'\xE9\x01\x06\x57\x4A\x01\xF4\x01\x01\xEF'

The function I have is:
def string_to_command(inp):
    new_string = ''
    for i in inp:
        new_string += r'\x' + i
    return new_string.encode('latin-1')

When I print both commands:
print(string_to_command(input_array))
print(b'\xE9\x01\x06\x57\x4A\x01\xF4\x01\x01\xEF')
# OUTPUT b'\\xE9\\x01\\x06\\x57\\x4A\\x01\\xF4\\x01\\x01\\xEF'
# OUTPUT b'\xe9\x01\x06WJ\x01\xf4\x01\x01\xef'

I am not sure what is going on here. The last one with b"" actually commands my output device properly, the other does not. How do I fix this problem?

A: You can convert to int first, then to bytes.
>>> a = ['E9', '01','06','57','4A','01','F4','01','01','EF']
>>> bytes(int(x, base=16) for x in a)
b'\xe9\x01\x06WJ\x01\xf4\x01\x01\xef'

A:
The last one with b"" actually commands my output device properly, the other does not. How do I fix this problem?

I think what is going on here is that you are trying to add \x to every value and then encoding it from there. The problem with that is 'E9' and \x'E9' are not the same:
>>> 'E9'.encode()
b'E9'
>>> '\xE9'.encode()
b'\xc3\xa9' <-- Not the same
>>>

One method I like is bytes.fromhex(s), where s is your 'hex string'.
input_array = ['E9', '01','06','57','4A','01','F4','01','01','EF']

# use "".join(input_array) to get all values combined
# into one string
res = bytes.fromhex( "".join(input_array) )

Outputs :
b'\xe9\x01\x06WJ\x01\xf4\x01\x01\xef'

A: You can join a list of bytes converted from the original array with latin-1 encoding. So adding \x as join sequence, it will output the desired bytes object:
input_array = ['E9', '01','06','57','4A','01','F4','01','01','EF']

print(b''.join([bytes.fromhex(x) for x in input_array]))

Output:
b'\xe9\x01\x06WJ\x01\xf4\x01\x01\xef'

The Code Coverage is a profiling tool used to determine the coverage details of Tizen native applications. It finds the parts of code that are executed during a particular scenario. A program with high code coverage, measured as a percentage, has had more of its source code executed during testing. This suggests it has a lower chance of containing undetected software bugs.
The Code Coverage tool is based on the llvm-cov tool. With it, you can detect parts of code that are not covered by a scenario and make sure that the uncovered code does not cause errors at runtime. Functional, statement, and branch coverage are supported in the Code Coverage tool.
In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select Profile As > Profile for Code Coverage.
The profiling instruments the code and compiles the project for Code Coverage. Finally, it launches the application on the connected target or emulator.
To get the coverage report, press the Stop/Cancel Operation button in the Progress view of the Tizen Studio.
The Tizen Studio shows the code coverage information in the editor after the application has closed. A Code Coverage view also opens to give a summary of the code coverage percentage for each file.
The code covered during the scenario has a green highlight and the uncovered code has a red highlight.
Each row of the Code Coverage view can be expanded to show the function level coverage information.

Q: What's the most efficient way to get a sorted, human-readable du output on Mac OS 10.6? I used to have this sweet alias for du I called dusort that would print out a human-readable list of sizes for the top-level subdirectories+files sorted by size. It was like a mini-filelight for mac that runs in terminal.
But now my alias is broken after I copied it to my new mac running Mac OS 10.6. Apparently the sort I used either came from fink (which I am trying to avoid re-installing on my new mac) or the one shipping with 10.6 has less features than the one shipping with 10.4 (far less likely.)
Here is the old alias that's a bit kludgy because it has to run du twice to get both the machine-readable and human-readable file sizes (I actually have this saved as a script in ~/bin with a #!/bin/bash but that shouldn't matter):
sort -n +1 <(paste <(du -hd1|cut -f1) <(du -d1))|cut -f1,3
Any ideas on:
A. Making it work again?
B. Making this command more elegant using bash wizardry?
I know I could fix this by copying the du output to a temp file or fifo or some such nonsense, but this is getting ridiculous. I decided to come here to get assistance in kicking my kludgy bash habits. Please advise. :)
Edit:
Now that I think about it, this works:
sort <(paste <(du -d1|cut -f1) <(du -hd1))|cut -f2,3

Still, seems like a giant kludge, especially calling du twice which could make the difference between 5 minutes and 10 minutes on a large file tree... any advice on cleaning it up?

A: I use this on red hat linux, maybe it will also work on BSD?:
du -sk * | sort -n | awk '
{ if ($1 < 1024) { output("K", 1) }
  else if ($1 < 1048576) { output("M", 1024) }
  else { output("G", 1048576) }
}

function output(size, div)
{
  printf "%d%s\t%s\n", ($1/div), size, $2
}
'

Or to set up as an alias some quoting is required:
alias dusort='du -sk * | sort -n | awk '\''
{ if ($1 < 1024) { output("K", 1) }
  else if ($1 < 1048576) { output("M", 1024) }
  else { output("G", 1048576) }
}
function output(size, div)
{
  printf "%d%s\t%s\n", ($1/div), size, $2
}
'\'''

If you have any terabyte files you would need to extend it...

A: alias dsize='for dir in *; do du -skh $dir; done | sort -n'

Gives output like this (where data, img and util are directories):
$ dsize
1.9G     data
4.0K     getLinkMentionCounts.bash
4.0K     img
28K      util

How To Get Dolby Atmos on Apple TV 4k
Dolby Atmos is an object-based audio format that brings immersive sound effects to movies that would otherwise play in 7.1, 5.1, or 2.1 channel systems. Mainly, Atmos brings a height element to audio environments in which sound is bounced off the ceiling (or, directly from above with ceiling-mounted speakers) in order to hear audio overhead and behind.
The audio format can be found with digital movies, Blu-ray Discs, and 4k Ultra HD Blu-rays. Apple has one of the largest Dolby Atmos libraries but you can also stream titles with Atmos from Netflix and other apps on the Apple TV platform. Here are some steps that should help you get Dolby Atmos playing on your audio system.
A Dolby Atmos Speaker System
To hear Dolby Atmos you need to have an audio system that supports it. This means your speaker system, soundbar, and/or AV receiver can all deliver Atmos. The product box and manual for your device should have the Dolby Atmos logo on it. Note: Most TVs do not have speaker systems that will play Dolby Atmos audio.
Audio systems can vary according to how many speakers are set up. This "How To" isn't a guide to setting up speakers but Atmos systems are usually configured in one of three ways.
1. A soundbar with speakers that angle upward to bounce off ceilings
2. A multi-speaker system with back speakers that bounce sound off the ceiling
3. A multi-speaker system which has speakers installed in the ceiling
Connect Your HDMI Cables
Since most TVs do not support Atmos through their built-in speakers you will need to connect the Apple TV's one HDMI output to an AV receiver or soundbar. Some audio systems have more than one HDMI input which is ideal for having more than one playback device (like an Apple TV and 4k Blu-ray player, for example). If you have more playback devices than the provided HDMI inputs consider getting an HDMI splitter to get all your devices connected to the sound device.
It should be noted there are some Dolby Atmos sound systems that don't support HDR (Dolby Vision / HDR10 / HDR10+). And, because Apple TV 4k uses a high bandwidth form of Dolby Atmos it will not work using ARC connections. That means you can't have both Dolby Atmos and HDR video at the same time, unfortunately.
Set Up Apple TV 4k
This should be enabled by default, but your Apple TV needs to be configured to playback Dolby Atmos. Do this by going into the Settings > Video & Audio > Audio Format. Make sure Dolby Atmos is turned On. There may also be an Auto option which can be turned on so when Atmos is detected it will switch without hassle. Also, be sure your Apple TV is running on at least tvOS 12.
Find a Dolby Atmos Movie
Apple TV movies will show a Dolby Atmos logo near the title. It may be right next to icons for 4k, Dolby Vision or HDR10. You can search through our list of 4k/Dolby Atmos titles on Apple TV. Netflix also has a selection of Dolby Atmos titles. Search on Netflix for "Dolby Atmos" or refer to our list of 4k Dolby Atmos titles on Netflix.
Check Your Sound Bar or Receiver
Your soundbar or AV receiver should indicate when you are playing Dolby Atmos. For example, Samsung displays a blue light on the speaker when Atmos is enabled. Sony shows the label DAtmos or Dolby Atmos on the TV or device when pressing the Display button. If your audio device or speaker does not tell you it's playing Atmos it probably isn't.
Still No Atmos? Check the Movie Info.
With the Apple TV remote swipe down on the top touch pad and you should see more information about the title. Look for the Dolby Atmos logo that indicates the movie is formatted with Dolby Atmos. If it doesn't say Atmos it likely does not play in Atmos.
We hope you are successful in getting Dolby Atmos to work with your Apple TV 4k. If you still have trouble you can always call the manufacturer of the audio system you are using for help. Look in the device manual or search online for troubleshooting questions and answers.
