One of the many, many things that I'm curious about is the Blog Subscription function. It's easy for us to see what blogs we have subscribed to, but we don't know who, or how many Active Rainers, have subscribed to our blog.
which shows I believe the most subscribed blogs in descending order.
I was pleasantly surprised to find myself at number 24 overall before my month long hiatus from Active Rain, and I now seem to be bouncing around the mid 30 mark - all without having solicited any other Rainers to subscribe to my Phoenix Arizona Real Estate blog. I have started to place a link in posts this week which has the same effect as the Subscribe to Blog "button" above my head toward the top right of the screen - which I must confess I often overlook when reading other blogs of interest, in part because the button has scrolled off the screen as I'm reading the post.
I think I would subscribe to many more blogs if the option presented itself at the end of the post (such as the button below) rather than having to remember to scroll back up and go to the top right for the button.
Hi Missy - Tis True - I do know that you subscribe - and I appreciate it very much! Keep blogging!
How did you get the red blog link into your blog. This is a wonderful idea and I agree with you that it would make responding more simple and less time consuming. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jody - Thanks for the comment. I uploaded the image - then created a hyperlink to the image.
I subscribed to your blog a long time ago. I panicked this weekend when my Subscribed blogs were nowhere to be found, but now they're back. Glad your hiatus is over and you're back blogging. Looking forward to meeting you next week in Vail!
Good idea, but I'm already subscribed! Thanks for giving us the heads up though. I will bookmark and add this to my ever growing list of new things to try.
I like that idea. Many times you read or write a great blog post and having a button there would make it easier to get more people to subscribe.
Sharon - Thanks for checking in - and thanks for being a subscriber!
Fran - I knew you probably were due to how fast comments appear from you on some of my posts. Thanks!
Thesa - Thanks - I look forward to seeing more of you!
Cyndee - Glad to hear it's helpful!
One caveat to all - obviously the link needs to be modified to identify YOUR blog - otherwise it will work - but the subscriber will be subscribed to MY blog.
I'll post on how to find the info needed for the link.


Apple was named the world's most valuable brand by Millward Brown's annual survey and I am not surprised, because Apple is a case-study example of several of the key pillars of customer loyalty 3.0.
Product: Apple's cutting edge innovation, functionality and design build loyalty right into their products. That's why from iPhones to iPads, people line up around the block to be the first to get their hands on a new product release.
Community/Affinity Group: A short second to product, Apple has created an affinity association with its brand. Think of the commercials- I'm a Mac; I'm a PC. Being an Apple user is more than just a casual relationship, it's a brand identity wrapped in community/affinity. If you want to be identified as cool, hip and indie, you want to be using Apple's product.
Other: Apple even touches on some of the other Customer Loyalty 3.0 pillars, creating experiences at their Apple stores and bridges with apps developed by others.
Apple is a fantastic example of leveraging customer loyalty pillars, but the most important takeaway is that it is relevant to their customers. They know who their customers are, what they want and how to make them feel like Apple understands them. You can't just try to mimic Apple- you need to know what pillars are important to your own customers in order to generate loyalty.

This webinar will provide tax professionals and advisers with an in-depth and practical guide to the accounting and tax disclosure requirements to correct and adjust capital account balances. The panel will focus on the mechanics of both book entries and tax reporting and will offer concrete examples of corrective entries and form reporting as illustrations. The webinar will also cover the interpretation of partnership agreements and provide guidance on how to apply partnership provisions to corrective entries and tax disclosures.
Maintenance of capital accounts is one of the more challenging tasks for tax professionals advising partnerships. Due to inexperience, changes in advisers, and errors and omissions, capital accounts are often not maintained accurately. Absent corrections and adjustments, such items can lead to misallocation, phantom income, and basis errors.
Even more frustrating is that in many cases the corrective adjustments to bring the accounts back into balance are not always clear. Moreover, these issues will become even more challenging with the advent of the new partnership audit rules.
Partnership accounting is by its very nature complicated and some transactions and events will cause difficulties in maintaining capital accounts. Provisions such as allocations of nonrecourse liabilities, minimum gain chargebacks, and multistate filings are areas that can create problems for tax professionals. Advisers must be able to identify and correct capital account discrepancies from both compliance and reporting standpoints.
Listen as our experienced panel provides an overview of common—and not so common—capital account errors and scenarios that need corrective measures, and will outline the book and tax reporting adjustments to remedy the situations.
Prerequisite: Three years+ business or public firm experience at mid-level within the organization, preparing complex tax forms and schedules. Specific knowledge of partnership taxation, accounting and tax disclosure requirements, capital account maintenance, correcting capital account mistakes and partnership audits; familiarity with book and tax corrective adjustments, compliance post-TEFRA, and substantial economic effect.


In small workplaces, it is often easy for every member of the office to be quickly alerted to the presence of a fire. Yet, in large buildings that have many floors, it requires a working fire alarm system to properly alert residents and workers in every room that an evacuation is necessary. While most buildings have some sort of fire alarm systems in place, many landlords and property managers unfortunately neglect the maintenance of such systems. Simply having these systems installed in the first place is not doing enough to protect the employees and residents of a building. To successfully fulfil their moral obligation to the people in their building, managers must schedule a fire alarm and fire sprinkler inspection to ensure that they are truly prepared for a fire. Luckily, Fire Protection Group Inc., offers thorough inspections of all types of fire safety equipment to ensure that local buildings and businesses are prepared for the worst.
In addition to inspections, Fire Protection Group is also one of the city's most trusted designers and installers of these systems. With a variety of multi-disciplinary experts on our staff, Fire Protection Group has both the academic expertise and valuable field experience necessary to truly know how to contain a fire. We can design either fire alarm or fire sprinkler systems that are individually catered to match the aesthetics and the needs of your space. We believe that since no two buildings are the same, fire protection systems should not be pre-packaged in their design. With a partnership with Fire Protection Group, you can be sure that your service will be individualized, every step of the way.

Daniel and Larry Lennox-Choate, first gay couple married at West Point, attacked in NYC
The first gay couple to be married at West Point was attacked in New York City over the weekend by a man shouting homophobic slurs, police said Tuesday.
West Point graduate Larry Lennox-Choate, left, and Daniel Lennox-Choate, leave church following their wedding ceremony on Nov. 2, 2013, at the U.S. Military Academy's Cadet Chapel in West Point, N.Y.
Aug. 4, 2015, 8:31 PM UTC / Updated Aug. 4, 2015, 8:39 PM UTC
By Elisha Fieldstadt
The assailant, described as a man in his 40s, got into an physical altercation with Larry Lennox-Choate and Daniel Lennox-Choate after yelling gay slurs at them at a deli in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan Sunday.

The situation escalated when the man punched Daniel Lennox-Choate, 30, in the face, according to police.
The suspect fled on a bicycle, but not before a witness snapped a picture of him, NYPD Det. Martin Speechley told NBC News.

Daniel Lennox-Choate refused medical attention on the scene, according to police.
"Aside from one fat lip and a sore punching arm, we are fine," Larry Lennox-Choate wrote on his Facebook page.
"It's hard to believe that in 2015 we would have to deal with anti-gay hate crimes in SoHo of all places," he wrote. "Idiots like this guy might not pick two guys who went through Plebe Boxing (military training) next time."
In 2013, Daniel Lennox-Choate and Larry Lennox-Choate became the first same-sex male couple to marry at United States Military Academy at West Point, their alma mater.
Their relationship was documented by a New York Times photographer, and their wedding was covered by The Associated Press.

Citation: OJ EPO 2016, A66
Online publication date: 31.8.2016
Notice from the European Patent Office dated 2 August 2016 concerning the handling of enquiries as to the processing of files
In specific cases, parties to proceedings before the EPO may have an interest in enquiring about the progress of the file and thus obtaining information on when the next Office action is to be expected.
Further to the revision of the conditions applicable to the PACE programme, the implementation of Early Certainty from Search (ECfS) in July 2014 has revealed the need to enhance and clearly define the procedure for the filing and handling of such enquiries.
The revision of the previous practice is aimed at improving the effectiveness and responsiveness of the service provided by the EPO. This is to be achieved by means of a dedicated filing tool and enhanced monitoring of the time frame indicated in the reply to enquiries.
The new procedure is available to all parties to proceedings before the EPO's departments of first instance. [ 1 ]
Unlike the PACE programme, [ 2 ] however, the filing of enquiries does not imply a general acceleration of the prosecution of European patent applications.
A. Filing of enquiries
1. An enquiry is processed and replied to according to the present notice only if it is filed online using EPO Form 1012. It may be submitted for only one application or patent at a time.
2. The EPO will promptly issue an acknowledgement of receipt.
3. Both the enquiries and the replies from the EPO form integral parts of the file and, as such, are open to public file inspection.
B. Handling of enquiries
4. Specific parameters may have an impact on the handling time for enquiries. For example, the non-payment of the renewal fee by the due date under Rule 51(1) EPC may delay the EPO's handling of an enquiry.
5. In general, the EPO will reply to enquiries by indicating the period within which the next Office action is to be expected, taking into account the workload in the technical area concerned and the internal deadline for the completion of the pending action. The EPO will strive to produce the subsequent examining communication within the period indicated in the reply to the enquiry.
6. Nevertheless, in the following cases an enquiry will automatically cause the EPO to issue the next action within
one month from receipt of the enquiry
where the extended/partial European search report in respect of European patent applications filed on or after 1 June 2014 (including PCT applications entering the European phase where the EPO did not act as (S)ISA) has not been issued, under ECfS, within six months from the filing date or from expiry of the period under Rule 161(2) EPC; or
where an Office action in respect of an application which is being processed under the PACE programme or for which a previous enquiry has been made has not been performed within the committed period;
six months from receipt of the enquiry
where the extended/partial European search report in respect of European patent applications (including PCT applications entering the European phase where the EPO did not act as (S)ISA) filed before 1 June 2014 and which do claim priority (second filings) has not been issued.
7. Delivery of the next action by the committed date will be closely monitored by the EPO.
8. If the applicant is not satisfied with the time frame indicated in the reply to the enquiry, prosecution of the application can be accelerated by requesting application of the PACE programme.
C. Entry into force
9. The new procedure applies to enquiries filed on or after 1 November 2016.
[ 1 ] For the accelerated prosecution of appeals, see OJ EPO 2008, 220.
[ 2 ] See notice from the European Patent Office dated 30 November 2015 concerning the programme for accelerated prosecution of European patent applications ("PACE"), OJ EPO 2015, A93.

"Magic" alloy will allow solar cells to capture near-infrared light
08/12/2018 / By Frances Bloomfield
A team of researchers from the University of Michigan has taken the next step in solar energy technology. Specifically, they've developed a new semiconductor alloy that can capture near-infrared light. In addition to being easier and cheaper to manufacture, ScienceDaily.com reported that the semiconductor alloy is also compatible with the semiconductors utilized in concentrator photovoltaics.
This type of photovoltaic technology is known to be far more efficient than conventional, store-bought solar panels. However, concentrator photovoltaics are incapable of harnessing near-infrared light due to how they're made: three different layers capture different parts of light, with the next layer catching what the previous layer couldn't. Infrared light slips past all these layers with ease, and has presented scientists with the unique challenge of coming up with an alloy that is sensitive to infrared light yet matches the atomic structure of the three other layers in the solar cell. Until recently, they've been turning to expensive and limited formulas to bypass these restrictions.
Fortunately, the researchers found the perfect combination in arsenic, gallium, arsenide, nitrogen, bismuth and silicon. This mixture of chemicals can be sprayed onto photovoltaic cells to significantly increase their efficiency.
Speaking about their findings, which have been published in Applied Physics Letters, professor of materials science Rachel Goldman said: "'Magic' is not a word we use often as materials scientists. But that's what it felt like when we finally got it right." (Related: These Amazing New Solar Cells Are the Future of Energy.)
This discovery follows an earlier innovation by Goldman's team: simplifying the process of making semiconductors. Apart from silicon, gallium arsenide was routinely used as a semiconductor. Although more effective a semiconductor than silicon, the problem with gallium arsenide lay in the dopants, or the substances used to produce desired electrical characteristics. Gallium arsenide needs silicon and beryllium as its dopants. Using beryllium is problematic due to its toxicity and its cost being 10 times that of silicon dopants. Goldman and her team worked around this simply by lowering the amount of arsenic in the dopants of gallium arsenide, which in turn resulted in silicon dopants performing the same role as beryllium with none of the hazards and at a fraction of the cost.
"Since you are using less material to basically do the same thing, it would cut the cost down," said Richard Field, a University of Michigan graduate student who worked on the project with Goldman.
Regarding their work, Goldman and Field told Seeker.com that they hope their findings will create a new generation of better, cheaper, and more efficient solar energy collectors.
"Once you have silicon and you optimize it, you optimize it. With gallium arsenide, you can add more things, you can tweak things. There is a lot more you can do," added Field.

These red and black plaid print kick flare pants have a similar look to Jennifer's, and are so on-trend right now. Wear them with a basic white t-shirt and a faux leather biker jacket for an edgy feel.... Gigi wore a pair of plaid pants featuring red and gray hues with a burgundy turtleneck sweater and some chunky black patent lace-up shoes. She wore a lighter red jacket with an oversized fit over top, along with some matching round sunglasses.
I practically despise plaid but my boyfriend is super into it. Every time he spots a person wearing a red and black plaid shirt (which he also has) he likes to joke that he�s so fashionable lmao ??... 2 What to Wear With Plaid Shirts 3 Outfits with Flannels Ideas The flannel shirt is probably the most loved (by both men and women) layering piece of clothes that can be easily transformed for any time of the year and occasion.
The plaid pants we�re seeing for fall 2018 fall are vastly different from the boring, uptight plaid pants we wore to work years ago, or the funky colored plaid bell bottoms of the 70�s. Fall�s plaid pants come in fresh new styles and have a more relaxed vibe, which means you�ll look anything but dowdy. how to get inspired to write a song I wouldn�t call myself the most colorful person, but I do like pops of color every once in a while. So, this black, white and red plaid top is the perfect color combo for me.
2 What to Wear With Plaid Shirts 3 Outfits with Flannels Ideas The flannel shirt is probably the most loved (by both men and women) layering piece of clothes that can be easily transformed for any time of the year and occasion.
Wear an oversized flannel shirt with deeper hues such as red, black, or blue. Now grab a pair of skinny distressed rocker denim and a basic t-shirt in a dark hue which contrasts with the plaid. Finish the look off with a pair of boots or sneakers and you've got yourself a rebellious fall look.

City sues owner of Commercial Street building over loan payments
Thomas Gounley
TGOUNLEY@NEWS-LEADER.COM
The city of Springfield has filed a lawsuit against a company that owns a building on Commercial Street, saying it stopped making payments on a city loan earlier this year.
The Lofts @ 315 LLC — which owns 315 W. Commercial St. — borrowed $214,000 from the city through the small business development loan program in July 2005, according to the lawsuit, but stopped making payments in April. City Director of Planning and Development Mary Lilly Smith told the News-Leader on Tuesday that approximately $165,000 of the original loan remains unpaid.
In addition to the company, the lawsuit names Robert Pilkington, the company's registered agent, and his wife Vi Pilkington as defendants.
According to the lawsuit, in June, Robert Pilkington sent an email to a member of Springfield's loan committee that read: "I have notified The Bank of Missouri that I will no longer be able to make the loan payments on the building. Neither will I be able to make the City loan payments."
The city subsequently "accelerated the note and declared it due and payable" on July 30, according to the lawsuit. The Bank of Missouri now owns the property after foreclosing on it Aug. 6, Smith said.
The city asks the court to require immediate payment of the balance of the loan, along with interest and attorney's fees.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the company and the Pilkingtons had not filed an answer to the lawsuit, and online court records did not list an attorney representing them.
The building at 315 W. Commercial St. is three stories tall, with commercial space on the first floor and lofts above it. The Pilkingtons had operated their carpet cleaning company All Seasons Chem-Dry out of the building, but an individual who answered the company's phone Tuesday said the Pilkingtons were not at the number and no longer own the company. A message left Tuesday at another number believed to belong to the Pilkingtons was not returned.
Pilkington's LinkedIn page indicates he previously served as president of the Commercial Street CID board and on the board of directors of the Commercial Club.
Smith said the city tries to work with borrowers who fall behind on loan payments but that no solution could be found for this situation. She said the city has issued more than 550 current loans — with almost $40 million in principal — and that the loan loss ratio is less than 1 percent. The program is operated with income from the loans and doesn't take any money from the city's general fund.
"We have infinitely more performing loans than we have non-performing loans," she said.

Dr. Blossom also conducts research within the Section of Birth Defects Research by studying the role of the maternal immune response and congenital heart defects in humans.

Our laboratory has been investigating the role that increased mitochondrial oxidant production has on the early events leading to renal dysfunction following renal preservation and warm ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in vivo. Previous studies have suggested that inactivation of the major antioxidant within the mitochondria, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), plays a pivotal role in inducing renal injury during I/R injury. Using both cell and rodent models we are also assessing the therapeutic potential of known and novel antioxidants to alter I/R and transplantation induced renal dysfunction.

Q: Why are some of my characters surrounded by a grey swirl? Sometimes I have noticed that Sora (or anyone else in my party) will be walking around with this odd grey wispy swirling thing around them. What does it mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

A: It is a good thing. Someone cast an Aero-family spell. The spells have the following effects:

*

*Aero - Halves damage taken. Duration is determined by adding 18 to your max MP.

*Aerora - The above + damage on contact with enemies. Damage is determined by doubling your max MP value, and adding 6.

*Aeroga - Above + it will deflect some attacks.

Below is a picture of Aeroga in action.

Please help re-seed if needed, thanks.
Thanks a lot for sharing this documentary including the video footage.


Some fairly frightening news is coming out of a new survey regarding the future of health care. Nine out of 10 physicians say they wouldnt recommendand in fact would discouragehealth care as a profession.
I'm sure you've heard about the doctor shortage. And you're probably familiar with the old "apples" saying. But have you heard the one about how talking to a doctor today keeps new doctors away?

A prophecy came forth, spoken into the earth under the unction of the Spirit: "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son…" God set it in motion and called it into being through His prophet Isaiah. In the fullness of time, it was necessary that a woman would receive and accept that Word in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled.
God's Word spoken by the angel became the Seed, the physical manifestation of a promise of God. He declared it would come to pass and centuries did not hinder the ultimate fulfillment of His spoken Word.
Joseph himself had to exercise faith and accept the Word that Jesus' conception was the Word spoken by the Holy Spirit. How much faith did that take? Have you ever encountered an unusual circumstance in your life and the Spirit of God spoke to you and told you to move forward in spite of your mind and logic?
The Word is to be written in our flesh.
The promises of God will be turned into facts.
There are many today who say it couldn't have happened. They approach it biologically, when it was both spiritual and biological. Mary conceived the incorruptible seed of God's Word through an act of the God-kind of faith, and it caused a miraculous conception.
LET IT BE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD!
Mary conceived God's Word in her spirit. Once it was conceived in her spirit, it manifested itself in her physical body. The Bible said, "The Word was made flesh…" The embryo in Mary's womb was the Word of God – and it took flesh upon itself.
The Word of God was conceived by an act of the God-kind of faith and was born on the earth. Jesus was the Living Word of God – the Word in flesh form! He was the seed of righteousness that God planted in the earth. Mary dared to believe and receive the seed sent from God.
God's Word will get you healed, or filled with the Holy Ghost the same way that the miraculous conception took place! Any believer that will conceive God's Word concerning healing in their spirits, it will eventually manifest itself in their physical bodies! If you conceive God's Word concerning prosperity then prosperity will manifest itself in your business affairs. Conceive God's Word concerning the Holy Spirit and He will manifest Himself in your spirit. You can conceive peace, joy and love in the same manner. God's Word has the ability to produce whatever you need in your life!
How much more shall the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? When you receive God's Word into your spirit, it will manifest itself in you in one way or another.
The faith of God in Mary's heart caused her to speak and conceive that Word in her spirit, and then it manifested itself in her physical body.
What is incorruptible? All physical things are corruptible (subject to death or decay) but that which is incorruptible is everlasting and not subject to death or decay. The Word of God is seed that is spiritual and wherever it is planted it will always bring forth fruit.
I Peter 1:23 states, "Being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible. By the word of God which liveth and abideth forever." The seed that the woman conceived was the incorruptible seed. When God prophesied about Eve in Genesis 3, He referred to the seed of the woman. The seed Mary received was the Word. The incorruptible seed took flesh upon Itself and dwelt among us.
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin through a miraculous conception by faith. It was God-kind of faith. Jesus came to earth, was born of the everlasting Word and there was no death in Him.
After Adam sinned, every child born from Adam until now, was subject to death; spiritually and physically. Death reigned on earth because of Adam and Eve believing satan and receiving his word. Now, it was reversed! God gained entrance into the earth by being born of a woman. The Light of the world became flesh! This was the only means God could gain legal entrance into the world to destroy the works of the devil.
God and man are working together in order to destroy the kingdom of darkness.
He couldn't do that, because God had given dominion of the earth to man. Jesus had to come in the form of man, with the body of a man. This made it perfectly legal for Jesus to destroy the work of the devil.
Just as Jesus was the Word made Flesh, the Word can become flesh in you. If you will receive the Word in your spirit, it will manifest in your flesh and in the material world where our bodies exist. The promises of God will be turned into facts in your bones, muscles, organs, brain and tissues in your body. The Word will drive out depression and hopelessness that has locked itself in your tissues as you renew your mind to the Words of Jesus. The Word is to be written in our flesh for all to read for Psalm 42:11 says that He is the "health of our countenance." When people look upon us, they should see Jesus the Word manifest in our flesh. For we are now His Body and His Representatives in the earth.
God and man are working together in order to destroy the kingdom of darkness. Man's earthly authority is needed to go along with God's ability to perform the work. What God spoke in Genesis 3:15, "The seed of the woman shall bruise your head" has now been manifest because Jesus was made flesh. The Spirit of the Living God now dwells in our flesh and the Word is alive in us!

Innovation & Competence
In 1993, Professor Omid Abri, a visionary in medicine and a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery, co-founded the S+A Klinik fuer MIC GmbH. It was to become the first specialized hospital for minimally invasive surgery with an operating theatre specifically equipped to cater to this new method of operating.
In 1997 the hospital was opened and the first operation was performed.
In the following years, intensive efforts were made to perfect all processes. In 2000, this culminated in the most modern operating room worldwide, the OR1.
Whereas in November 1999 the MIC performed about 1400 operations with twenty licensed beds, today, with sixty beds, we complete more than 6800 operations per year.
Through two decades of practice and thousands of operations all MIC Surgeons and medical staff are highly trained. Operations are performed faster and safer than in any other facility.

Mum training four times a week for Relay Channel Swim
Rebecca Gowler
Polly, pictured second left, is swimming across the English Channel as part of a relay team on 14th June 2017. In a team of six, Polly will swim for an hour in rotation with her other team mates until they reach Calais.
The challenge, also known as 'the Everest of swimming', covers approximately 22 miles of sea in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Polly, who is a member of the Masters Swimming Club in Ealing, is swimming up to four times a week to prepare for the swim as well as juggling family life with two young daughters.
She says: "It's the ultimate swimming challenge. Not only will the distance be tricky, but I am having to learn to acclimatise to the cold." The English Channel will be chilly 15 degrees when Polly swims in June, compared to most indoor swimming pools that are usually 28 degrees. Her training includes a regular morning swim in the Serpentine in Hyde Park which is 11 degrees. She says "I certainly get some odd looks when the shivers kick in when I am on the tube to work afterwards."
Polly surpassed her fundraising target of £3,000 and has raised over £4,300 so far. She said: "I have had so much support from people for this swim – people really are impressed– the Channel is one of those iconic challenges that draws people from across the world."

Polly's fundraising will transform someone's life with a spinal cord injury. Her fundraising alone will help pay for a lightweight wheelchair for someone with a spinal cord injury which will enable them to regain their independence after their injury.
Polly says: "I attended the Aspire Assessment day and was bowled over at the really important rehabilitation work they do for people with Spinal Cord Injury. Meeting people who have worked their way back to independent living with the help of Aspire was fantastic. I am really proud to be raising money for their work."

This is the home page for our 23rd major research exhibit at the IEEE/ACM Supercomputing conference. The exhibit is now under the slightly changed title University of Kentucky / Aggregate.Org, but it is still really run by our informal research consortium led by our KAOS (Compilers, Hardware Architectures, and Operating Systems) group here at the University of Kentucky's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering -- hopefully, for the last time. The Center for Computational Sciences is displaying various things in the exhibit this year, and is expected to take the lead for future exhibits. We are booth #3830, a 10x20 booth; the exhibit hall essentially has two wings, and we are located about 1/3 of the way up in the right wing (Hall 2 in this map).
Our 23rd Exhibit
As usual, our research exhibit this year will be showing a lot of different things we have developed or are developing... ranging from supercomputer architecture to 3D printing technology and a new model for imaging sensors.
We kept handouts to just four topics:
TIK: Temporal Imaging from Kentucky -- for years we've been working on Time Domain Continuous Imaging (TDCI), which replaces the concept of am imager capturing frames with capture of continuous waveforms for pixel light level over time. With TIK, you can do this using conventional still and video cameras!
Making Time Tooling Around -- Perhaps you're wondering what the computer engineering research group that created PCCTS/Antlr, SWAR (SIMD Within A Register), the first Linux PC cluster supercomputer, FNNs (Flat Neighborhood Networks), and MOG (MIMD On GPU) is doing playing with machine tools? We began using these machines to make camera parts for our computational photography research, but we're really about making the hardware and systems software components of a computing system work better together, and those machine tools are computer systems. Never forget that you can use your tools to make better tools....
Performance-Engineered Computer Networks -- an overview of the many tools and technologies we have developed to improve computer networks, especially those within parallel supercomputers. AFNs, FNNs, KNITT, Netwires, and NodeScape are all briefly described. (Just last year, we learned that Google has been using our FNN work as the basis for designing much of their network infrastructure.)
A Maze of Twisty Little Passages -- an update to MOG (MIMD on GPU). The MOG core is becoming close to production quality and there are now several system calls implemented (the GPU code can now perform host system calls). We didn't bring the big wooden maze, but did bring a couple of small plastic ones that made the MIMD-can-run-efficiently-on-SIMD point as well as their giant wooden sibling used to.
Here's what our booth looks like this year:
and here's a time-lapse of the entire show:
3D printing plays a major role in the computational photography work we are doing (for 3D printing custom camera parts), and 3D printing is cool, but we didn't want to risk bringing our MakerGear M2 as airline checked baggage. Thus, we bought and brought a $400 Wanhao I3. Really quite a nice machine... more finished than the M2, and capable of comprable print quality, but at much slower print speeds.
Are website updates ever done?
The only thing set in stone is our name.


Where: Celebrated the New Year at my sister's apartment with my family.
I had a relaxing New Years eve this year. I'm so happy and appreciative of this wonderful 2010 year. I managed to visit so many different cities in the U.S. and to go on all sorts of adventures with my boyfriend. Not to mention, I finished my undergraduate degree this year! It was truly a wonderful year!
Happy New Years to everyone! I hope you had a wonderful 2010 and an even better 2011 to come!
Great outfit, Marie. Love the eyelet tank. Beautiful jewelry and wonderful matching purse and shoe color . Happy New Year!
Love your pretty, bright jewellery - so fun!


Discussion in 'Merritt Island I' started by mike mac, Mar 8, 2005.
Taken at Vierra Wetlands, I caught this guy doing the Reznick flip. i noticed that he has a film that comes down over his eye when eating, wonder if this happens to Ron when he eats???
nice capture Mike. Took me a lot of tries to nail one.
I wondered why the GBH looked like he had glaucoma. Good capture Mike.
You've never watched Ron's eyes when he's eating?
How about when he's drinking a beer?
What exactly is the Reznick flip?
This is the Reznick Flip. A bird is fishing, catches something, and Ron found that they flip it in the air before swallowing. If you time it, you can catch the food mid beak. We've named shots catching that event after Ron.
Hey take enough shot you are eventually bound to capture soemthing!
Looks like is trying to spit something out he did not care for. Wonder what it is. Blow up the original and see if you can tell what it is. Don't look like no "fish"
The eye film is called a 'nictating membrane', and as you might assume, is used primarily to protect the eye, and also to assist in distributing moisture via blinks.

How to Create a Memorial Page on Facebook and Instagram
By christy.kesslerSeptember 15, 2020Estate Planning, Grief/Loss, Memorial
More and more, people across the globe are cultivating a social media presence. Some put more effort into it than others, but for many of us, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are a normal part of life. But what happens to these online profiles when someone dies? Today, let's talk about the ins and outs of creating a memorial page on Facebook and Instagram.
The Importance of Digital Estate Planning
You may associate estate planning with a will or power of attorney, but digital estate planning is an important, often overlooked part of estate planning. It's just as valuable to provide instructions for online accounts, digital assets, and social media profiles as it is to write down your wishes for physical holdings. To learn more about digital estate planning, take a moment to read Managing your Digital Estate and How to Make Digital Estate Planning Simple.
Now, let's move on to Facebook and Instagram.
Facebook Memorial Page
Option 1: Creating a Memorial Page on Facebook
With Facebook, you have two options after death: delete the account or create a memorial page. Thankfully, Facebook has clear-cut instructions on how to do both of these things.
The most common reason to turn a Facebook page into a memorial is to create a place where family, friends, co-workers, and even acquaintances can process grief together and offer condolences to surviving family members. People can post memories, offer words of encouragement and sympathy, share photos, and more. Let's start by going over a few pieces of key information!
Was a Legacy Contact chosen?
With Facebook, estate planning means designating a Legacy Contact. In other words, you tell Facebook who should manage your account after your death (often a spouse, close friend, or family member). The Legacy Contact can monitor your profile by deleting or memorializing the account, accepting friend requests, pinning tribute posts, updating profile and cover photos, and more. However, a Legacy Contact cannot log in to the account to view private messages or remove past posts, photos, or friends.
Currently, you can only add a Facebook friend as a Legacy Contact. When you select a Legacy Contact, Facebook gives you the option to notify that person right away, which is recommended so that person is in the know about your wishes. To learn how to add a Legacy Contact, go to How Do I Add, Change, or Remove a Legacy Contact?
On the other hand, if you've been added as a Legacy Contact to someone's account and aren't sure how to manage a memorialized Facebook page, go to How Do I Manage a Memorialized Profile on Facebook? for some helpful tips.
What if there is no designated Legacy Contact?
That's okay. Family members can simply reach out to Facebook directly with a request to memorialize the account. However, memorialized accounts with no Legacy Contact can't be changed in any way. To request that an account without a Legacy Contact be memorialized, go to the Memorialization Request.
What happens when you memorialize a Facebook page?
Memorialization locks the account and prevents anyone from logging in. While a Legacy Contact can't log in to the account anymore, they can still make decisions on basic functions, like viewing posts, removing tags, updating profile and cover images, etc.
Additionally, a memorialized account will no longer appear in "search" results. However, any existing friends can still view the page and share photos, memories, and wall messages. The word "Remembering" will appear next to the deceased person's name on their profile.
For a full list of links to helpful information, go to All You Need to Know about Facebook Memorialized Accounts.
Option 2: Deleting a Facebook Account
Alternatively, you can choose to have an account deleted instead. Keep in mind, if/when Facebook learns of a death, their policy is to memorialize the account if no instructions were left behind (i.e. no Legacy Contact and no request to delete the account).
If you are completing your own digital estate planning and want your account permanently deleted after your passing, go to Settings. Click Manage Account. Scroll down until you see Request that your account be deleted after you pass away and follow the prompts.
If you would like to delete the Facebook account of a deceased family member, you can reach out to Facebook directly. To learn more about the process and the required documentation, click here. Once you have your documentation gathered together, you can use the Special Request Form to begin the process of deleting the account. Please be aware, Facebook cannot provide you with login information for someone else's account even after a death has occurred, but they can either delete or memorialize the account.
That's it for Facebook – let's move on to Instagram.
Instagram Memorial Page
While Instagram has been working on its memorial options for a while, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their efforts. Now, similar to Facebook, you can either memorialize or delete an Instagram account.
Option 1: Creating a Memorial Page on Instagram
While Instagram now offers the ability to memorialize accounts, they do not currently allow you to designate a digital heir (Facebook calls this person a Legacy Contact). However, with the proper documentation, you can memorialize a loved one's Instagram account after their death.
What are the key features of a memorialized Instagram account?
With a memorialized account:
The account locks and no one can log in.
The word "Remembering" appears on the person's profile.
Any posts the deceased shared prior to death will stay visible.
You can no longer make changes to photos, videos, comments, privacy settings, or the current profile picture. Also, followers and the pages the deceased was following cannot be changed.
However, if you feel a comment or post on a memorialized profile violates Instagram's Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, you can report it to Instagram by going to How to Report a Comment or How to Report a Post.
How do you memorialize an Instagram account?
The first step is to put in a request. When Instagram receives a valid request (regardless of whom that request is from), they will memorialize the account. To ensure that the request is valid, you must provide proof of death, such as an obituary or a news article. Just like Facebook, Instagram will not give out login information.
With a validated request, Instagram will memorialize the account. To submit a request to memorialize an account, go to the Request to Memorialize and fill it out.
Option 2: Removing an Instagram Account
The second option is to remove/delete the account. To entirely remove an account from Instagram, the requester must provide evidence that they are an immediate family member of the deceased.
Accepted forms of proof that you are an immediate family member are:
The deceased person's birth certificate
The deceased person's death certificate
Proof of authority under local law that you represent the deceased person
To request the removal of an Instagram account, you must complete the Removal Request and submit the required documentation.
Thankfully, both Facebook and Instagram have made the process simple and clear. Now that you know more about how to memorialize or delete accounts, take some time to carefully consider the best way to move forward. Every person is different, so decide what's best for you and your family and do that. It may mean memorializing a lost loved one's account so that friends and family can share memories and photos. It may mean removing the account entirely because it's too painful to manage. There's no right or wrong answer – just what makes the most sense for your needs.

iQiyi CEO Denounces 'Soft Piracy' in Entertainment Industry
Categories: Industry Pandaily Posted on November 8, 2021 November 8, 2021
Gong Yu, Founder and CEO of Chinese video platform iQiyi (Source: Sina)
On November 5, at the 4th Hongqiao International Economic Forum, Gong Yu, Founder and CEO of Chinese video platform iQiyi, said that online piracy is divided into hard and soft piracy, and that the latter is the main form of piracy at present, including video segmentation, commentary and recreation.
"The emerging forms of piracy, such as through commenting and recreating copyrighted content, are accompanied by the new online business model, among which commentary is the biggest blow to the film industry. The form of piracy is still changing," Gong Yu said.
In April this year, more than 50 film and television companies, five long video platforms and film and television industry associations issued a joint statement, including iQiyi. In their statement, they called on the producers and operators of short video platforms and public accounts to respect originality and protect copyright, as well as not to edit, cut and disseminate related film and television works without authorization.
At that time, the boycott also attracted the attention of relevant government departments. The person in charge of the China Film Administration once said that the organization would intensify its crackdown on short videos' infringement of film copyright.

As for the Super Sketch Show released on October 15, Gong said over 11,000 pirated copies of the show are now online, of which the proportion of pirated short videos dropped to about 30%.
