5G networks hold enormous potential for IoT applications. But escalating security concerns threaten to stifle performance before 5G even deploys.
The challenges start with IoT device density. 5G can support 2.6 million devices per square mile, and every connection must be secure. And the list of security functions keeps growing. Packet inspection, key generation and storage, and end-to-end encryption are just a few issues network architects must consider.
These security requirements can create serious bottlenecks that hamper performance. For instance, a single SSL/TLS handshake can consume up to 2 percent of a processor's resources and add 5 ms of latency.
Security demands can also increase system costs. Deep packet inspection (DPI), for example, often requires the addition of a dedicated multicore processor or hardware accelerator.
CSPs looking to capitalize on 5G should be wary of the ways security can impact their systems, as well as solutions that can offset those limitations.
Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors offer one possible solution. The new processors support as many as 224 cores and 12 Terabytes of memory in an eight-socket configuration (Figure 1), delivering the packet processing and control plane resources required for secure 5G network operations.
The new chips offer impressive performance gains across a range of 5G tasks. These include a 1.77X boost in L3 packet forwarding, a 2.5X acceleration in IPSec performance, and a 2.4X improvement in SSL Web Proxy transmissions (Figure 2).
The Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors also support 1.5X more VMs per server than previous-generation processors. As a result, CSPs can consolidate multiple server platforms, reducing the cost and complexity of 5G rollouts.
New Intel® Xeon® processors include several significant architectural enhancements that enable them to achieve the above benchmarks. In particular, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512), a revamped chip architecture, and updated interconnect and fabric interfaces benefit 5G network security.
Intel® AVX-512 is a new set of instructions designed to optimize ultra-wide (512-bit) vector operations such as those used to generate cryptographic primitives. The instructions are supported by two 512-bit fused multiply-add (FMA) units per core, which help deliver double the FLOPS per clock cycle of AVX-512 over its predecessor.
This performance increase results in 3.1x faster hashing of SHA algorithms and 2x faster processing of Reed Solomon Erasure Code when leveraging Intel® AVX-512.
To prevent the powerful new Intel® Xeon® from becoming I/O bound, the 14 nm Skylake-SP microarchitecture has also been redesigned in a mesh topology (Figure 3). The on-chip mesh interconnect facilitates higher bandwidth, lower latency core-to-core communications. This helps optimize task scheduling/transfers and reduces energy consumption in network servers and UTM systems.
Off-chip I/O has also been updated to extend performance beyond a single processor. For starters, the new Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors include up to 48 PCIe 3.0 links and six memory channels that support 2666 MHz DDR4 DRAM. The latter equates to a 50 percent increase in memory bandwidth over the last generation.
But the main I/O enhancements for massively scalable 5G network infrastructure are in socket-to-socket and system-to-system connectivity.
Between sockets, the Intel® Ultra Path Interconnect (Intel® UPI) provides a cache-coherent, 10.4 GTps data path between CPU sockets (Figure 4). The interconnect can scale to support up to eight processors per system under a single shared address space, with each Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor, including two or three native Intel® UPI links.
To enable and secure 5G deployments that consist of millions of devices per square mile, the Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Intel® OPA) fabric supports 10,000 or more nodes for each high-performance computing (HPC) network cluster.
Intel® OPA is integrated in the package of Xeon® Scalable Processors to ease the deployment of HPC networks and security applications.
In addition, the chipsets incorporate Intel® Key Protection Technology (Intel® KPT). Intel® KPT is a new feature that helps protect sensitive private keys stored in hardware from software and probing attacks (Figure 5).
Intel® KPT works with Intel® QAT to enable near-zero encryption overhead for data-at-rest and data-in-motion, reducing the need for dedicated hardware security modules (HSMs).
Intel® QAT also supports all standard device virtualization models. This extends the features of Intel® QAT and Intel® KPT to all virtual machines (VMs) running in a system.
5G network architectures are hallmarked by "converged" infrastructure. In this paradigm, dedicated network appliances are replaced with systems that handle multiple network functions simultaneously.
As a result, network equipment providers (NEPs) are bringing standards-based hardware platforms to market that support networking, storage, security, and other functions in a single package.
For instance, the ADLINK Technology MCN-2610 is a compute node based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (Figure 6). It provides 4×10 GbE lanes to maximize the performance benefits of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors in UTM systems and 5G network servers.
The MCN-2610 adheres to the Open Compute Project (OCP) OpenSled specification. OpenSled is derived from ADLINK Technology's Open Compute Carrier-grade Edge Reference Architecture (OCCERA), which emphasizes NFV and SDN principles on top of modular industrial design standards.
The standards-based approach of OpenSled allows modules to provide on-demand resources in converged infrastructure platforms. For example, an MCN-2610 module in a UTM system could dynamically switch between DPI and general-purpose routing as demands change.
Such architectures will help ease the transition to 5G network architectures.
5G networks have the potential to enable entirely new ecosystems and services, thanks to significant increases in performance. These benefits apply to burgeoning IoT opportunities in addition to traditional networking applications.
CSPs looking to capitalize on 5G benefits should be wary of the ways security can impact the performance of their systems, as well as solutions that can offset that overhead.
With Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and compute nodes like the MCN-2610, they need look no further in the transition to converged 5G infrastructure.

When M is divided by 5, the remainder is 3.
When these numbers are divided by 20, the remainders are different.
When M is divided by 8, the remainder is 3.
The general form is 40n+3; n is greater than or equal to 0.
Now, when 40n+3 is divided by 20, the remainder will always be 3.
This is a yes value question. We need a specific value of the remainder when M is divided by 20.
St1: M can be 3 or 18; giving us 2 different remainders when M is divided by 20 hence not sufficient.
St2: M can be 3 or 27; giving us 2 different remainders when M is divided by 20 hence not sufficient.
Combining the statements; M can 3, 43, 83 etc; giving us a specific remainder when M is divided by 20.

With a range of choices available, from the level of language proficiency through to when you are available to study, GAC will tailor a package perfect for you.
Chinese classes are usually separated into three main categories: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels. Within in these groups, for example, the beginner level might be broken down into two further subgroups: an absolute beginner group for those who've never been exposed to Chinese before and a higher beginner group for those who've previously learned some basic Chinese but who are still not confident enough to speak Chinese. Our students all get placed in the classes that suit their level for the best results.
Your learning experience can be tailored to helping you with Business Chinese, day-to-day Chinese or preparing you for HSK test examinations. Before you start, we'll assess your proficiency in Mandarin so we can ensure you get the right level of teaching for your ability.
There are generally three levels of study. However, these are flexible depending on your skill level and goals and contain many sub-levels.
For students who haven't started learning Mandarin yet, or have just started learning. The Basic Chinese level will help familiarize you with the basic Mandarin language. You will learn basic pronunciations, tones, and rules and start gaining a vocabulary of Chinese words. You'll learn enough to be able to hold basic conversations in Mandarin to hold short conversations and express yourself in day-to-day or business situations. You'll also learn some simple Chinese characters and some Chinese culture.
For students who already have a basic grasp of Mandarin. The intermediate Chinese class level is for those who would like to advance their Mandarin proficiency, so they are better at reading Chinese, speaking Chinese and writing Chinese. In this level, you improve your ability to differentiate between the four tones, further review Mandarin phonetic symbols and characters and examine basic sentence structures with regard to application and appropriate use. You will expand on your sentence structures and enlarge your vocabulary, further improving your ability to easily participate in short conversations at work or taking part in daily activities.
For people who have intermediate proficiency in Mandarin, but want to advance their skills, especially for business use. In the advanced level, you will improve your comprehensive through improved listening, reading, writing and oral skills. You will add idiomatic expressions, complex sentence structures, complex language patterns and topic-specific vocabulary to your repertoire. Your language proficiency will become more sophisticated, enabling you to communicate in-depth on a wide range of business and social topics and express your opinions.
The HSK, known as "Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi" in Chinese, is the standard Chinese Language Proficiency Test for non-native Chinese speakers, such as foreigners and overseas Chinese. The main objective of the HSK is to evaluate the level of standard Mandarin that one has learned.
For professionals who already have a sound knowledge of Mandarin, but who'd like to enhance their proficiency in Mandarin specifically for business settings, or who are looking for a curriculum based on business Mandarin. In this class, your language course material is customized to your business goals, enabling you to be able to use Mandarin for your business area, including specialized vocabulary. The Chinese lessons are designed for business people within any industry who need Chinese for work. Lessons could include, for example, vocabulary for meetings, negotiations, and presentations, legal vocabulary, financial vocabulary or Mandarin for business correspondence.
Go Abroad China has a variety of housing options to suit every individual who has selected any of our China study abroad programs. Our best and most popular options include: homestay with a Chinese family, a shared apartment and private apartment. Accommodation is guaranteed based on the duration of your stay in China, and if you wish to extend your period, we can help you arrange longer-term accommodation with a bit of price adjustment.
Please note that the housing fee will depend on the type of accommdation you have selected, as well as the length of your stay.
Many foreign students have wondered 'how much does it cost to live in China?' Well, if you are one of those people, then a homestay accommodation offers great value for your money! This type of housing is about living with a Chinese host family in their home; it is especially beneficial to those enrolled in the study abroad China programs. Our selected Chinese host families are thoroughly selected; we make sure that they are friendly, they have a good and reliable background, and that they are ready to receive an international visitor.
Our participants will have their own bedroom and furniture: bed, desk & chair, closet/wardrobe, etc. They will have access to the apartment's amenities such as 24-hour water heater, western style toilet, washing machine, television, wifi, air conditioner, etc. At Go Abroad China, we always strive to meet the needs of our clients who study abroad in China, those doing internships and the volunteers to ensure that they are comfortable.
Many of our study abroad participants in most cases have shown that they prefer the shared apartment housing type. A shared apartment gives you the opportunity to live with a young Chinese professional. Selecting a shared apartment as your housing option is most suitable for applicants who like to be in a more silent environment with few people around. With a shared apartment our participants will have their own private bedroom and will share the living room, kitchen and bathroom with a flatmate. The apartment is fully furnished and has all the basic amenities one might need.
* We will ask deposit when you move in our apartment. The deposit will be about 1 month's rent and returned at the end of your stay in China, unless you have caused damage in the apartment.
The private apartment option is more suitable for individuals who prefer to have absolute privacy.
Again, if you choose this option, we will choose an apartment that is conveniently located. We will make sure your apartment is near your work area and also close to a bus or a metro station. Our private apartments are usually spacious and include: a bedroom, a living room, a dining area, a bathroom and a kitchen. The apartments that Go Abroad China choose are already all furnished. We make sure that the apartment you will live in has: a washing machine, a television, wifi, 24-hour water heater (hot & cold), air conditioner, etc.
Please be advised that the monthly bills for gas, electricity and water (approximately US $30 per month) are not included in the program fee. The participant will have to pay its monthly bills.
* We also ask deposit when you move in our apartment. The deposit will be equal a month's rent fee and returned at the end of your stay in China, unless you have caused damage in the apartment.
Dinner get together, learn about Chinese food with usually an impressive menu of traditional cuisine. We know that some Chinese food tastes more authentic on the Mainland.
Shopping trips to Silk Market, Antique Markets and other local places.
Attend shows/performances like Peking Opera or Chinese Acrobats.
Visit traditional teahouses and learn about Chinese tea ceremonies.
Visit the art district and exhibitions and view interesting art pieces both from Chinese and international artists.
Lounge bars, karaoke and birthday parties should any of our clients have a birthday to celebrate.
Our program applicants can take part in Chinese language elective classes, Go Abroad China provides arts and cultural options such as Chinese Calligraphy, Painting, Taiji Quan (a slow paced form of exercise that is traditionally known to lower stress and improve concentration) Martial Arts, Chinese cooking, traditional handicrafts, etc. All these choices have proven quite popular among our clients! In addition to that, we arrange Mandarin private tutoring classes for those who need extra lessons. Basically, the idea is to vary your Chinese course in China and include many more cultural options to enhance your understand about China.
Historical places like Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Ming Tombs, The Great Wall, Lama Temple, Drum Tower, etc.
Recreational areas such as Hutongs, Beihai Park, Hou Hai Lakeside, etc.
Contemporary sights: CCTV tower, Bird's Nest & Olympic area, Botanical Garden, etc.
or any participants willing to do some volunteer work during their stay in China, Go Abroad China is happy to arrange this, especially since as an organization, this is also part of our charity work section. Normally we organize for our clients to teach basic English at a poor school for migrant workers' children. There is something quite extraordinary about helping those in need and putting a smile on somebody's face. The reason we choose migrant children schools is because their conditions are very poor, lack funds and material as some of these schools do not qualify for government aid. These experiences start out small but by the time our participants return home, they are left with a heart-warming feeling and get changed by the experience.
To ensure a professional and complete experience in China, we like to encourage our clients to meet with other fellow participants and attend business and networking events. We try to connect our interns with different chambers of commerce so they can attend some of their networking events.
One of the most important types of networking sessions involves our participants mingling with successful and knowledgeable people from the Chinese business community. This is a chance for our Go Abroad China program participants to learn useful information regarding the Chinese business culture, as well as build a business network. For those doing business internships in China, this will be a valuable opportunity and a great way to spend a weekend evening.
We also encourage our participants to attend any other events/dinners that are organized by the companies that they intern at. This is a chance for the participants to interact with other employees outside of the usual office atmosphere. This truly helps to strengthen relations in the workplace! We believe networking is an important aspect to learn about if you want further career advancement opportunities! It is never too late to start attending networking events!
For those taking a Mandarin language course, it is perfectly acceptable to attend such events as you to can observe how career oriented people get together in China.
Go Abroad China's business networking events and seminars allow you to grow your global network while hearing from top CEO's, entrepreneurs and other business professionals about their professional journey and career highlights. You'll get to meet influential business people and hear their stories about how their career developed after university. You will also get the opportunity to attend regular networking events organized both by us and other business organizations such as the local Chamber of Commerce.
Our networking events and seminars give you the opportunity to meet fellow interns, local and international business people and grow your connections. The seminar series will allow you gain insights from successful business people and apply these within your career. Be inspired by what others have achieved, and know that you can achieve great things too!
Go Abroad China welcomes back all former program participants to form our alumni network. We hope that experiencing China with us has been one of the most memorable trips abroad for you.

PM urges citizens to send messages to jawans this Diwali
As part of the campaign, the Prime Minister has shared through social media, a special video, featuring his appeal to the people to send messages to the brave Armed Forces personnel.
By PTI | Published: 23rd Oct 2016 11:00 amUpdated: 23rd Oct 2016 1:14 pm
File Photo: Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
New Delhi: Amid heightened tension on the border, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a campaign through which people can send their Diwali greetings and messages to soldiers guarding the nation's frontiers to boost their morale.
People can send messages under the #Sandesh2Soldiers campaign on the Narendra Modi App, through MyGov.in, and also through All India Radio. Doordarshan shall also be mounting a programme to share people's emotions with the Armed Forces.
PM inaugurates country's second green airport
PM to raise NSG issue with NZ PM next week
The Prime Minister, who is leading the campaign, said in a tweet, "I sent my #Sandesh2Soldiers. You could also do the same. Your wishes will certainly make our forces very happy. "This Diwali, let us remember our courageous armed forces who constantly protect our Nation. Jai Hind," he said. "When 1.25 crore people stand with the soldiers, their power increases by 1.25 crore times," the Prime Minister said.
Within hours, the video has generated tremendous interest on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.The great respect and admiration that the nation has for our Armed Forces, will find expression this festive season, through the campaign being led by the Prime Minister, the PMO said in a release.
A special module has been launched on the Narendra Modi App, which enables people to send greetings or their hand-written messages to the Armed Forces.
The #Sandesh2Soldiers campaign is expected to generate increased interaction between the people and the Armed Forces. The campaign comes against the backdrop of the surgical strikes carried out by the Army on terror launch pads in PoK and the heightened border tension.
Earlier this month, at an event in Bhopal, the Prime Minister had focused on the human element of the jawans. His appeal to people to applaud jawans when they meet them, has also created a buzz on social media.
This is not the first time that Modi is focusing on the armed forces. He spent his last two Diwalis as the Prime Minister with the Army.
This Diwali, let us remember our courageous armed forces who constantly protect our Nation. Jai Hind. pic.twitter.com/uXf6Or3xsQ


PinkyPiggu: Alley On 25 @ Andaz Singapore Hotel ~ A Look At All Its Dining Concepts Have To Offer!
Alley on 25 sits on level 25 of the hotel, offering sky high dining with panorama city views.
Inspired by the surrounding neighborhoods of Kampong Glam, Little India and Bras Basah Bugis, its layout aims to mirror those intimate shophouse-filled alleyways which are full of nooks and surprise finds at each turn.
While interesting, it can be a tad confusing especially for first-time visitors. Walk through the entire premise before locating the restaurant you're looking for? Not an unlikely situation unfortunately.
But view it as an exploration, you'd discover dining concepts that are out-of-the-norm. Instead of the typical cuisine classification, each restaurant specializes in a particular style of food preparation.
To provide affordable, value-driven options for the office crowd, Alley on 25 will serve sets lunches that include appetizers and mains for $25.
Let's take a look at what Auntie's Wok and Steam, Plancha'Lah, Smoke & Pepper, The Green Oven, Icehaus, Bar Square and Sunroom has to offer.
An ode to Singapore's tze char food culture, with Szechuan influences.
Offering a host of dim sum, as well as rice, meat and hand-pulled noodles dishes with a Szechuan twist, the menu at Auntie's Wok and Steam certainly satisfies our appetite for variety. Highlights include Ma Po Silken Tofu with Alaskan King Crab ($30), and the Double-boiled Beef Short Rib Noodles ($18) which we love for its robust spicy Szechuan broth, tender beef chunks and springy egg noodles that are made in-house.
The Steamed Eggplant with Silken Tofu ($14), Crispy Organic Cucumbers ($9), and Jiao Zi Dumplings filled with Tiger Prawn & Chicken ($12 for 8pcs) are also not to be missed. Diners can also choose sustainably-sourced live seafood from fish tanks, and watch as chefs prepare their catches at wok and steamer stations in the open kitchen.
Up-close-and-personal culinary action over hot plate.
"Plancha" means flattop grill in Spanish, while "lah" is an endearing Singlish touch to the restaurant's name. Specializing in dishes prepared on the hot plate, Plancha'Lah grills up a wide repertoire including Japanese Fruit Tomato with pine nuts in balsamic dressing, Atlantic Cod en Papillote with shimeiji mushroom, and Kurobuta Pork Chop paired with Fuji apple purée.
There are three 5-course sets available for dinner service only: Vegetarian Set $108++, Set Dinner 1 $118++ and Set Dinner 2 $148++.
Modern-Asia barbecue fare prepared over an open charcoal grill.
Smoke & Pepper is the largest dining destination at Alley on 25 that focuses on Asian-inspired barbecue specialties such as Black Angus Beef Skewer ($35), Spiced Fish Burger ($17), Squid with green chili and shiso pesto ($18), and Diver Scallops with garlic-sesame butter ($15 per piece). All are prepared from a show grill kitchen.
Though the few recommended items that we've tried appeared to be crowd-pleasing favorites, the food was generally lacking in execution (too salty, less-than-ideal texture), making this our least favorite outlet. Hope with some time and tweaking, improvement will come.
Comfortable, hearty meals with a twist, prepared from a single green Beech oven.
Classic international favorites such as Braised Osso Buco ($35), Half Spring Chicken ($25), Braised Lamb Shank ($35), and Violet Eggplant ($20) rules at The Green Oven. These are the kind of family-style dishes which are comforting, generous in portion and best for sharing (which we did hehee).
Besides the above-mentioned dishes, my dining companions were also singing praising of the Lobster Mac & Cheese ($35) which I was too stuffed to fully appreciate its goodness. Looks like I must make a return trip soon!
For breakfast, the menu offers an array of egg dishes prepared in various styles, and served with Tiong Bahru Bakery's signature sourdough toast. Eggs used are fresh, cage-free chicken eggs.
Light and easy dining, including cold cuts and sustainable seafood.
Inspired by the kitchens of a bygone, pre-electricity era when food was kept cool in wooden cabinets filled with ice slabs, Icehaus showcases dishes prepared in a cold kitchen, offering a selection of charcuterie, seafood, salads, sandwiches and desserts.
One thing which I feel you shouldn't missed here is the Andaz Chendol Pop ($10). A special collaboration with Neh Neh Pop that is owned by local celebrity Chef Bjorn Shen, the popsicle is a lovely concoction of gula melaka coconut ice cream and red-bean caramel in a coat of pandan-flavored white chocolate. Super duper enjoyable!
Another of Icehaus's signature desserts is the Pandan Chiffon Cake (small $4.50 / medium $12 / large $32) which is a tribute to the unofficial national cake of Singapore. Combined with velvety mousse and dressed in vibrant colors, chiffon cake flavors include pandan, bandung, chocolate, banana, durian, coconut, black sesame, yam and coconut.
Handcrafted cocktails with a touch of local flavor.
A place of relaxation in a fluid, residential-inspired environment. Guests can order a variety of signature dishes from the various outlets of Alley on 25.
I have tried chinese food several times but never tried japanese and singaporian food ever before but now this time i am thinking to try it.No doubt sea-food is very healthy and good.

We hear the reports; many police departments are unwilling to answer calls to homes and businesses that have excessive false alarms. Or, they will answer, but assess a fat $100 to $1,000 fee for any false alarm responses over two or three. This can get expensive real fast. And if you don't pay the fee, they just won't come out any more.
Security providers are feeling the squeeze too, because many of them depend on police departments to provide the response to the calls. Without this reliable call-response system working, the whole machine gets mucked up.
From a purely business and financial viewpoint, this false alarm situation is giving the security industry a real headache. But for homeowners and business owners, it is more than a headache, it is destabilizing. We may be without response-security in the event we need real emergency help because of a break-in, or robbery.
Why All The False Alarms?
But why, all of a sudden is this happening now? Why all the false alarms when it seemed there were not so many before, at least not enough of them to bring this issue to such a problematic point?
There are two reasons: One is dirty power. Because of the deregulation of power across state lines some years ago, supply and transmission issues are creating problems for sensitive electronic gear like computers and alarm systems. Aging facilities, not totally compatible transmission capabilities and grid switching are now sources of voltage spikes that were not present to this degree prior to deregulation.
According to a published report by DITEK, a surge protection manufacturer, "Hundreds of transient voltages enter the typical home daily through power, phone, and cable lines, as well as satellite dishes." And the volume of transient voltages has escalated dramatically since deregulation.
Most alarm systems do not have adequate surge protection, nor do many of them re-set after a surge. Some do not even indicate that they are no longer set in the "on" position. Even if somebody did break in, it would not go off and you would never know your alarm was not set.
Luckily for most of us, burglars are not particularly astute to this technical breakdown, nor do they know when power surges might strike. So, it's still hit-and-miss for them when it comes to picking a home or business to target.
But unless you check your alarm, you don't know whether you are protected or not. Is your burglar alarm on or deactivated? Will it be that way two hours later when you and your family have gone to bed for the night? It is a bit unsettling.
The bottom line is that our burglar alarm systems cannot give us the level of security that we feel we need. Factually, any real security along this line can only come from our own personal certainty that we can defend ourselves in our homes. As a start, if you have an alarm system you should have surge protection on it.
More importantly, whether that alarm goes off or not, if there is an intruder in your home you are in extreme danger. Because of the epidemic of false alarms, unfortunately even neighbors usually do not pay any attention to them. So most times, that alarm is not going to do you a bit of good at that point. It is up to you to protect yourself and your family from the imminent crisis. How well you survive is totally dependent upon your own skills to orchestrate your self defense.
There is no better place in the world to learn the skills to defend every member of your family, than Front Sight Resorts.

Diverse Designs
6210.3 - Expressive map design: OGC SLD/SE++ extension for expressive map styles

In the context of the personalization of map design, cartographic needs have been highlighted considering the handling of more artistic and expressive tools, in order to design stylized and expressive maps, in existing carto-graphic pipelines. Based on previous works on style formalization, an approach of the specification of the style of a map has been proposed and experimented for some use cases. A first step concerns the analysis of inspiration sources, in order to extract 'what does make the style of the source', i.e. the salient visual characteristics to be auto-matically reproduced (textures, spatial arrangements, linear stylization, etc.). In order to mimic and generate those visual characteristics, existing and innovative rendering techniques have been implemented in our GIS engine, thus extending the capabilities to generate expressive renderings. Therefore, an extension of the existing cartographic pipeline has been proposed based on the following aspects: 1- extension of the symbolization specifications OGC SLD/SE in order to provide a formalism to specify new types of Symbolizers and their related rendering methods; 2- separate specification of each rendering method and its parametrization, as metadata. The main contribution has been described in (Christophe et al. 2016). We focus here on the extension of the cartographic pipeline (SLD++ and metadata) and the diversity of map design capabilities that have been experimented for many topographic styles: old cartographic styles (Cassini), artistic styles (watercolor, impressionism, Japanese print), hybrid topographic styles (ortho-imagery & vector data) and finally abstract and photo-realist styles for the geovisualization of costal area. The genericity and interoperability of the approach is promising and has already been tested for 3D visualization.

Chinese Climate Negotiator Provides Candid Take on What Happened in Copenhagen
If emissions increase "I say, 'So what?' The people have a right to a better life."
Third, the Copenhagen talks did not collapse. China made an active, important and decisive input. Wen Jiabao engaged in three days of constant diplomacy, telling all sides that the Copenhagen talks had reached a crucial stage – that it was necessary to seek common ground but accept differences, to bridge divides and to form a consensus on which to found future cooperation. Towards the end of the conference, as Wen was about to leave for the airport, he decided to stay for a final attempt at an agreement. He urgently contacted the heads of state of Brazil, India and South Africa, some of whom had to turn back from the airport. Five nations [including the United States] gathered…and got down to discussing the core problems.
The talks focused on two issues. One was long term goals. As disagreement over atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations and 2050 emissions targets was too great, these were not covered in the agreement, which specified only a goal of limiting any temperature increase to two degrees Celsius [above pre-industrial levels].
Second was the issue of "measurable, reportable and verifiable" cuts. Developed nations wanted to expand verification to every aspect of developing nations' economies, including development plans and carbon pathways. What right do they have, I ask? These are plans that we will implement based on our own capabilities – what qualifies them to verify them? Who has given them this right? In the end a compromise – "international consultations and analysis" – was reached. China will report the measures it takes to the international community, and the international community is welcome to discuss them.
Copenhagen triggered some fierce reactions in Europe – one of the reasons being that, despite their leading role in the response to climate change and promotion of the Copenhagen meeting, the European leaders were marginalised on the crucial issues. They were unhappy that, at the critical moment, they had not played their rightful role.
I personally feel that, after Copenhagen, all parties adopted a more peaceful, pragmatic and rational attitude. No longer was there manipulation of the kind seen in the lead up to Copenhagen, when expectations were raised and a single international conference was presented as something that would determine the fate of humanity.
If expectations are lowered, there is a greater possibility of achieving what is expected. If we get a result, great, but if we haven't finished negotiating, then there is still the South Africa summit next year. In this situation, strategies may change. For example, dialogue and communication may replace the constant pressure on major developing nations to compromise and back down. But there are some things that will not change:
1. The search for cooperation. Although disagreements and conflicts of interests will remain with us in the long term, the global nature of the climate-change issue requires global cooperation. All parties need to seek a basic level of consensus as the foundation for that cooperation. This will not be abandoned.
2. The main disagreements are still over "common but differentiated responsibilities", and this is particularly apparent when cooperation is actually happening. Developed nations will continue to attempt to pass on their responsibilities, and developing nations will continue to resist.
3. Developing nations will continue to defend their development rights and opportunities. They are not willing to combat climate change if the price is continued poverty
Overall, the post-Copenhagen era will be one where consensus and disagreement, cooperation and conflict, coexist. This will remain the case in the long term.

"Transfers of technology

"Transfers of technology have not been effectively carried out, with some developed nations even hoping to use the technology they control to turn a profit."
Are you kidding me? They ALL are trying to control green tech in order to turn a profit. Al Gore's company is positioned to become the biggest green investment firm in the world. This is going to be achieved by controlling the technology, not giving it away. Where have you ever seen countries give new technologies away for free? I have not seen any country, developed or undeveloped, do this. There is no habit in human nature which would indicate that this will ever happen. The habit is to give it away for money, lots of money.

South Shields on Saturday 12/03/1994 15 Km (Senior Men)
Pic credit:Phil Cole/Allsport
The one hundred and seventh English National Cross-Country Championships took place at Temple Park, South Shields. Mrs Vera Duerdin of Bury AC, the first president of the English Cross Country Association, welcomed the runners to the event saying "For over a hundred years The English National Cross Country Championships have been the ultimate in cross country running with the winners receiving just accolade all over the world. Cross Country running, however, is not just about the first one to finish, every finisher today will in his own way be a winner - no doubt having achieved some personal ambition be it scoring in his club's team, beating his own previous best performance or even just "finishing in the National". Jim Alder president of the North-Eastern Counties Cross Country Association in its centenary year said "To have the nationals on my doorstep in the year of my NECCCA presidency is something I regard as very special. We have carved out a great reputation in the North-East and I'm confident that South Shields will add to that."
The course was 15km in length and covered three laps of the park.
Dave Lewis (Rossendale AC) and John Downes (London Irish AC) were considered the men most likely to win. Southern champion Downes, fifth in last year's race was in good form said: "I'm not going there to jog it, I'm going there to win. Ever since I came back from America my aim has been to win the National." Downes had packed up his building job the year before to concentrate on running. Kevin Lamb (Tipton Harriers) the Midland champion was also expected to feature in the medals as was Midland runner-up Steffan White (Coventry Godiva Harriers), last year's National junior winner. Inter-Counties champion Andrew Pearson (Longwood Harriers) was not in action after twisting his ankle in training. Richard Nerurkar (Bingley Harriers) had been hoping to chase his fourth National title but missed the race with a trapped nerve.
In the team event local boys Morpeth Harriers were hoping to add the title to their two successive National Cross-Country Relay victories. Tipton Harriers stalwart Ron Bentley was course-side for his 43rd consecutive English cross country championship hoping Tipton would add to their unique collection of medals. Bentley said: "Bingley must be favourites while Blackheath and Shaftesbury Barnet are up-and-coming, but I certainly think we can win a medal at least." Tipton have dominated the championship in the past 20 years, failing only four times to be amongst the medals.
Rain started to fall as the starter's pistol fired and after the race settled down half way through the first lap, the first to show were Chris Robison (Omega RC), Lewis, Glynn Tromans (Coventry Godiva Harriers), John Nuttall (Preston Harriers) and local runner Ian Archbold (Morpeth Harriers).
John Nuttall - 3026 (Preston Harriers) and Dave Lewis - 3157 (Rossendale AC)
A second group consisted of Adrian Passey (Bromsgrove & Redditch AC), Mark Hudspith (Morpeth Harriers) and Steffan White (Coventry Godiva Harriers). At the start of the second lap Lewis had edged in front with Kevin Lamb, Colin Moore (Bingley Harriers) and Larry Matthews (Salford Harriers) in hot pursuit. By the end of the second lap Lewis and John Nuttall (Preston Harriers) had pulled clear with the chasing pack consisting of Tromans, Mark Hudspith, Andy Leach (Bingley Harriers) and John Downes. Halfway into the second lap the lead for Lewis and Nuttall was 60 metres over Tromans, with Mark Hudspith, Chris Robison and Noel Berkley (London Irish AC) all in medal contention. Into the final lap four appeared to be chasing bronze John Downes, Keith Anderson (Bingley Harriers), Robison, and Tromans. With a mile to go Lewis had a gap of 25 metres over Nuttall and went on to win by 16 seconds in 42:35. Nuttall picked up a silver medal despite two months out with a stress fracture and only his second competitive race that year.
John Downes (London Irish AC) third
Downes came in for bronze despite suffering a stitch and said "I had a stitch from the word go. I've never felt like that since I was young. I had a sandwich at 9.30am, and a bite of a sandwich 12.30pm. I think that's what must have done it."
After the race 32-year-old Dave Lewis said "I was pretty confident, although I wasn't sure about my fitness after my food poisoning. I thought I'd struggle at the start - I thought food poisoning would hit me in the first quarter-of-a-mile or so - but I had a great start and got right up there. John was so good. He looked really bouncy; he's obviously very fit, and he looked like he'd got a lot of track speed in his legs. I knew the only way I was going to beat him was from a long way out. I knew if I didn't then coming into the last mile I was going to have a real problem. So the aim was to get rid of him with three or four miles to go, and go even if it meant really killing myself. I had to drop him and that's why I made a long run for home. In the last mile I had nothing left, and I think if he'd drawn level with me there's nothing I could have done about it." Lewis's coach Norman Poole encouraged him to run and pull out if he felt unwell. This was Lewis's third National triumph after wins in 1985 (Milton Keynes) and 1989 (Epsom).
Blackheath Harriers picked up their first ever National team golds with a 32 point victory over Bingley Harriers. Spencer Newport led the team home in 8th place, other counters were Dave Taylor (14th), Darrell Smith (16th), Steve Dodd (38th), Jeremy Barton (41st) and Mark Colpus (54th). Team manager Mark Watling said about Dodd "He ran a blinder" and added "What pleases me is that most of this team have been with the club for seven or eight years, and most of them ran PB positions." Morpeth Harriers picked up the bronze just 11 points adrift of Bingley.

Thai Businessman Chatchaval Jiaravanon buys Fortune for $150 Million
Founded in 1930 at the outset of the Great Depression, FORTUNE has become synonymous with business success
Trumping financial risks in Asia
Olivier Languepin
American publisher Meredith announced on Friday that it has agreed to sell Fortune for $150 million to Fortune Media Group Holdings Limited, wholly owned by Chatchaval Jiaravanon.
Mr. Jiaravanon is affiliated with the Charoen Pokphand Group (www.cpgroupglobal.com), an international conglomerate with businesses in telecom and media; agro-food; retail and distribution; e-commerce and digital; property development; automotive and industrials; finance and investment; and pharmaceutical sectors.
Owned by the Chearavanont/Jiaravanon family, the C.P. Group operates public companies such as CP Foods, CP ALL and True Corporation, and multiple private firms.
Mr. Jiaravanon will own FORTUNE as a personal private investment independent of C.P. Group's family businesses.
Mr. Jiaravanon is involved in C.P. Group's technology, media and telecom businesses. He serves as a Board Member of True Corporation, a leading public company in Asia with more than $10 billion in assets, $4 billion in revenues, and 23,000 employees.
He intends to increase investment in FORTUNE's digital capabilities, geographic expansion, and editorial talent as part of a strategy to become the premium business content provider worldwide.
"Our vision is to establish Fortune as the world's leading business media brand, with an always-on reach and global relevance," Jiaravanon said in a statement. "The demand for high quality business information is growing, and with further committed investment in technology and brilliant journalism, we believe the outlook for further profitable growth is excellent both for the publication and the events business."
Alan Murray, a veteran journalist who will be president and chief executive of Fortune, said: "I am pleased that we have found an owner for Fortune who believes in our mission, values our editorial independence, wants to invest in our journalism … We will be doing big things in the future."
Founded in 1930 at the outset of the Great Depression, FORTUNE has become synonymous with business success.
In recent years, it has evolved from a traditional print publication into an international multiplatform, multimedia business that includes a monthly magazine with multiple international editions; a digital news and video platform that reaches nearly 20 million people each month; and the world's preeminent live event series for top executives, all overseen by a high quality editorial team.
FORTUNE's major franchises include the FORTUNE 500; 100 Best Companies to Work For; Most Powerful Women; World's Most Admired Companies; 40 Under 40; Fastest-Growing Companies; and the Change the World list. Its wide range of annual conferences include FORTUNE Most Powerful Women; FORTUNE Brainstorm Tech; FORTUNE Brainstorm Health, the CEO Initiative; and the FORTUNE Global Forum.

Thailand's Vaccine Strategy: What went wrong?
Questions are being asked, and not answered, over the decision to rely almost entirely on Siam Bioscience, a local, palace-owned company with no experience of making vaccines, for the country's vaccine needs, until an unseemly scramble began this year to procure alternatives.

Hi, everybody, my name is Gabriela and I'm from Brazil. I discovered this forum 4 days ago and since then I've been trying to keep up, but it has become increasingly difficult. I only have time to read the threads when I get home from work, it's late at night to most of you and the entire movement has passed.
it took me a while to participate in this discussion because even though I could understand everything you write, I have great difficulty writing in English, but I'll try now.
I have so much fun with you. Thanks, guys!

Watches as an investment
Clocks 1x1
Which 5 watches are suitable as an investment
Interest in tangible assets such as luxury watches is currently on the rise - what are the best investment models?
The stock markets are plummeting, and virtually all assets are in free fall. If you want to preserve your purchasing power or protect your assets from a loss in value, the safest way to do so is to invest in valuable assets - such as tangible assets like luxury watches. Luxury watches are primarily designed to be worn. They make their wearers feel good and give them a zest for life when they accompany them in everyday life or on special occasions. For about a decade, however, it has been observed that more and more people are also looking at watches as investment objects and want to earn money with them in the medium to long term. If you know which models are suitable as an investment, you can make a fairly lucrative investment with mechanical luxury watches.
Vintage watches or modern timepieces?
There are two strategies to use watches as an investment. On the one hand, you can specialize in vintage watches and find classics in this segment that have the greatest potential for appreciation. On the other hand, you can invest in modern watches and speculate that your models will increase in value over time. But which watches are best suited as an investment? Below, we present five models that you can't go wrong with.
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Chronograph
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the most famous wristwatches in the world. It gained this status as the only wristwatch to date that made it to the moon. In 1969, Buzz Aldrin wore it when he set foot on the moon for the first time. Even the rough conditions on the moon could not harm the timepiece - it survived the lunar excursion without any loss of quality. Thus, you can be sure to own an extremely robust and functional timepiece with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Last year, it posted a whopping 56 percent increase in value.
In 2020, Omega launched two new Speedmaster models to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the moon landing. These also feature the famous caliber 321 of the classic Moonwatch and come in platinum or stainless steel. A special quality feature of Omega watches is their Co-Axial escapement. This makes the timepieces insensitive to vibrations. For a vintage model of the Speedmaster Moonwatch, you should budget around 15,500 euros. The 2020 anniversary edition of the Speedmaster Moonwatch costs 44,300 euros in white gold.
Rolex Daytona and Lady-Datejust
For many people, Rolex is synonymous with luxury watches. Undoubtedly, the manufacturer sets the tone in the watch world, which is due to the excellent quality and timeless design of timepieces. Most Rolex models can be easily worn at any time of the day or night and always make the wearer look appropriate. Rolex watches have excellent potential to increase in value, which makes them an attractive investment. Nearly all Rolex models have seen their value increase over the past two years - you can do little wrong here, even if you're not a die-hard watch connoisseur.
The Rolex Daytona was able to increase in value between 40 and 67 percent in 2021. The precious metal variants of the timepiece were particularly able to increase in value. What makes the Daytona so desirable is its limited edition. The series has only been produced in small numbers since 1963 and is therefore very popular with collectors. Depending on the model, the price of a Rolex Daytona ranges from 43,900 euros to 49,400 euros for models with a black ceramic tachymeter bezel. Significantly cheaper are the Daytona models in bicolor, which currently cost around 30,000 euros. A year ago, the price was still around 19,300 euros. Those who struck then didn't have to wait long for their Rolex to increase in value.
The elegant Rolex Lady-Datejust was also able to increase its value immensely in 2021; to be precise, it was between 49 and 77 percent, depending on the model. Often, the noble timepiece with several dials is decorated with diamonds. If you like it more classic, choose the Lady-Datejust with fluted gold bezel. Compared to the Daytona, the Lady-Datejust is a bargain - the price starts at around 6,500 euros, according to the manufacturer. However, it is more realistic to set a price of 7,500 euros. For that, you'll also find an available watch. Otherwise, you have to plan for a month-long waiting period. In any case, a Rolex is an excellent choice if you value a timeless design, an outstanding manufacture caliber and a classic status symbol.
In 2021, the Patek Philippe Nautilus saw its value rise by an incredible 85 percent. In 2020, the watch still stood out as a loser in the luxury watch segment with a ten percent drop in value. A watch from the Nautilus line is ideal for people who value a high technical standard. Its characteristic design is unmistakable, with the horizontal embossing of the dial, the octagonal bezel whose corners are rounded, and the bracelet that is fully integrated into the case. The Nautilus 5711/1A managed to increase its value the most. This comes as little surprise, considering that the watch is no longer in production.
A steel version of the Nautilus with a green dial was produced until early 2022, but production is set to cease after just one year. The Nautilus with a blue dial is currently available for around 250,000 euros. Occasionally, a model can be found for 110,000 euros. Much rarer and more expensive is the Nautilus with a green dial, whose entry-level price is well over 400,000 euros. In 2017, the list price for a Nautilus was still around 25,000 euros.
Jumbo 1520ST
The stainless steel version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo is one of the biggest watch classics in the world. It's no wonder that demand has risen sharply in recent years, causing the price to skyrocket accordingly. Another factor for the price increase lies in the planned end of production of the Royal Oak Jumbo 15202, after it celebrates its 50th birthday in 2022. Possibly, there will be new newly Royal Oak Jumbo made of precious metal, the watch manufacturer let it be known. This means that the stainless steel version will no longer have a place.
Currently, prices for the stainless steel model range from 60,000 euros (white dial) to 75,000 euros (blue dial). It's quite possible that we'll see six-figure prices once production of the timepiece is finally discontinued. In 2017, the price for the Royal Oak Jumbo was still 20,000 euros.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas
Together with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, Vacheron belongs to the "Holy Trinity" of Swiss watchmaking. If you're looking for an exquisite, modern luxury sports watch made of stainless steel, you'll find it in the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V. The model is in direct competition with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus mentioned above. In recent years, the watch has become increasingly popular, but its price is currently in even more affordable ranges than the other two models. It is very likely that the price will rise sharply once the other two watches are discontinued.
Currently, the price for a Vacheron Constantin Overseas starts at a list price of 22,000 euros. The popular blue and black dial variants are priced between 35,000 euros and 50,000 euros. If you strike now, you may enjoy a bargain with strong appreciation in a few years. In 2017, the price for the Vacheron Constantin Overseas was around 12,000 euros - so the popular model has already seen a significant price increase in the last five years.
If you just leave your money lying around in the bank at the moment, you risk a sharp drop in value. Stocks are also a risky investment at the moment, as prices are in free fall. Tangible assets, on the other hand, represent an attractive investment opportunity, especially the luxury watch segment. If you choose the right model, you can soon enjoy not only a solid increase in value.

No, I'm not talking about the showdown between the Democrats and the Republicans…although there are similarities.
I mean the short-lived, but much-loved TV series, American Gothic, brainchild of Shaun Cassidy.
Wow, being Joe Hardy on the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries sure messed him up.
Or maybe having David Cassidy for a bro. Or was it Da Doo Ron Ron?
Whatever, this show was seriously hair-raising (see what I did there, back to Shaun Cassidy and his big hair) and wickedly cool.
Gary Cole was evil, but in a you're-hot-way, as Sheriff Buck.
Nick Searcy (Justified, Cast Away, The Ugly Truth).
Bruce Campbell sure got bugged.
22 episodes was not nearly enough.
This show was sadly way ahead of its time.
Replay this now and it would be a huge hit.
Supernatural amusement that should have gone on and on and on.

Designed under the direction of Howard Hughes, this 180-ton aircraft, popularly nicknamed the "Spruce Goose" (being built of plywood), was the largest flying boat ever built, and was, at the time, the largest airplane ever built. Its intended role was to ferry vast amounts of troops and cargo across the Pacific. Piloted by the eccentric millionaire, with D. Grant as co-pilot, the Hercules made only one flight. This was in a straight line measuring about one mile over Los Angeles Harbor on November 2, 1947.
