Macon County Schools has registered two events for the NC Science Festival – Mountain View Intermediate School's STEM Career Fair on April 7th and the 6th grade Earth Day/STEM Activities on April 20-21. Check out all the events across the state at www.ncsciencefestival.org.
Attention Macon County High School Students!
maybe discover your future career.
During each coffee house we will be joined by a different STEM professional. They will give a short presentation about their job and then conduct an experiment or other hands-on project related to that profession.
Learn about the solar eclipse from an Astrophysicist or become a biopharmaceutical engineering team and perform tests for an experimental treatment for hemophilia with scientists from the Bionetwork. Each month is a different topic and a different experiment.
February 6th – "The Royal Disease" with BioNetwork! Whenever an individual suffers an injury, the body produces a fibrin polymer clot to stop the bleeding. Hemophilia, also known as "the Royal Disease," is a genetic disorder characterized by the low production of blood clotting factors necessary for the formation of the fibrin clots. In this activity, student will explore X-linked recessive traits, learn about the process of scab formation, and become a biopharmaceutical engineering team performing testing on an experimental treatment.
March 13th – Engineering! Learn about different careers in engineering and participate in a fun engineering challenge with engineer Christopher Hanners. More details to come!
April 17th – Black Holes with Dr. Enrique Gomez from WCU! Learn about the physics of black holes and then learn how to identify the signal of ripples in space-time that indicate black holes merging together! You will be participating in a real research project at the forefront of science! Bring your Ipad or laptop for this session.
Light snacks will be served and the cost is free (unless you want additional food or beverages served at the Rathskeller).
Space is limited to 30 participants so register early!
All participants MUST have a ride from the Rathskeller at 5:00. This is a private event and the Rathskeller will be closing at 5:00 after the STEM Coffee House.
Macon Middle Science Fair Winners!
Congratulations to Macon Middle School students!
Mrs. Hornsby's Experimental Design class from Macon Middle School competed at the regional science fair held at Western Carolina University. Three students won first place: Analee Webb, Olivia Pressley and Blaine Doolittle. Jasmine Cruz-Rios won 2nd place. These students will be advancing to the state Science Fair Competition in Raleigh.
3rd place was given to Muhammad Patel and Honorable mention went to Dillon Higdon.
Congratulations to all students who participated and good luck to those advancing. Four students will go on to compete and the State Science Fair in Raleigh next month.
Mrs. Clark's Class at Iotla just completed a winter themed STEM challenge. The whole unit is called The Arctic Stem Challenge…the premise is that they are an Arctic team of explores who get trapped by a storm and they must survive by making a blanket, shelter, snowball shooter to keep away polar bears, watch out tower and a parachute.
This was our newest challenge …. they were given a spoon, 2 rubber bands, craft stick, papertowel roll, and they had to create a "snowball shooter" to keep the polar bears away. That was the only direction and it had to shoot over 5 feet. I was impressed to say the least. Some used the stick as a stabilizer – so amazed by the minds of these young people!
Students in Mrs. Lipan's class have been working on fractions over the past couple of weeks. Each Lego brick was given a fraction value and a monetary value. After constructing buildings with their various bricks, the students added and multiplied fractions to find the total value of the bricks they used but also counted how much it would cost to build based on the value given to each brick. The students were so engaged in this lesson when I had the pleasure to visit their classroom! If you want to know more about this lesson, Mrs. Lipan is always willing to share!
STEM students uncover water issue!
STEM at work in our community!
Engineering a Musical Instrument with Mr. McMahan's class!
Students in Mr. McMahan's 6th grade science class learned about the science of sound by inventing their own musical instrument. These instruments are outstanding and have been on display in the media center for everyone to experience. Students had to demonstrate their knowledge of amplitude (volume) and frequency (pitch) while playing their newly invented instrument.
Aquatic Studies Equipment available for teachers!
STEM Materials for checkout by Macon County Teachers – Materials have been purchased through the NASA Smoky Mountain STEM Collaborative grant and the STEM-E grant funded through the Cherokee Preservation Foundation. Please contact Jennifer Love if you are interested in checking out any of these materials.
Mountain View Intermediate STEM Challenges – Students in Mr. McMahan's Science class and Eagle time class have been experimenting, engineering and learning about heat energy and insulators! Here are some of the winning designs! Check out the winning tower from their engineering challenge!

EE Announces Tariffs, Plans & Pricing for 4G in UK
Oliur
4G has been a long time coming to the UK and it looks it's finally here...sort of. EE (Everything Everywhere) has just released it's pricing for its upcoming 4G and as expected it isn't exactly cheap, what new technology ever is?
EE is launching the 4G mobile service on the 30th of October for the UK market. However it unfortunately won't be everywhere, as their name suggests. The service will only be available in major cities including, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Sheffield. It'll then spread to Belfast, Derby, Hull, Newcastle, Nottingham and Southampton by the end of this year.
They say they will be bringing the service to the rest of the UK but it will take a time, two (long) years actually. They say they will have 98% of the UK covered by the end of 2014.
Check out the table below listing all the plans, pricing and what you get in each one. Thankfully they are chucking in unlimited calls and texts but you'll be tied to a 24 month contract.

RESEARCH ROUNDUP: Anosognosia
Anosognosia
Topic Overview:
Anosognosia, a term first coined in 1914 by M.J. Babinksi, is the lack of insight or awareness of impairment. For example, a patient with anosognosia who fractured both legs in a motor-vehicle accident might be seen frequently trying to get out of their wheelchair to walk. Though anosognosia has long fascinated clinicians and researchers, the underlying causal mechanisms remain unclear. Because anosognosia is associated with a wide variety of psychiatric or neurologic disorders, research findings are typically more applicable to the particular associated disorder (e.g., schizophrenia, stroke, hemiplegia) rather than being representative of all patients with anosognosia. Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AH) typically occurs following lesions in right-sided or bilateral frontal, temporal, and/or parietal areas (Moro et al., 2011; Pia et al., 2004). Specifically, AH appears to be related to lesions in the right inferior frontal cortex, temporal cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, hippocampal formation, insula, and white matter (Craig, 2009; Orefi et al., 2008; Vallar & Ronchi, 2006; Vocat et al., 2010). When subcortical areas are not involved, damage to parietal and frontal structures appear to cause anosognosia more frequently than damage to temporal areas (Pia et al., 2004).
Unawareness of hemiplegia was first called anosognosia by Babinski one century ago. This paper reviews some of the major theories that may account for this disorder. Weinstein and Kahn posited that anosognosia was a psychological defense mechanism; however, clinical as well as studies using transient hemispheric anesthesia reveal anosognosia for hemiplegia is more commonly associated with right than left hemisphere dysfunction, which is not entirely compatible with this denial hypothesis. Discovery is dependent on sensory feedback. Some patients with anosognosia will recognize their hemiparesis when their paretic hand is placed into ipsilesional hemispace suggesting that de-afferentation and inattention-neglect may be important mechanisms. Some patients with anosognosia have asomatognosia and hence being unaware that their paretic arm belongs to them they do not recognize that they have a deficit. Some patients have phantom movements and some may confabulate because they have a hemispheric disconnection. The feed-forward hypothesis posits that without an attempt to move, there is no expectation of movement and in the absence of arm movement there will be no discord that leads to discovery. Thus, motor neglect may be another cause of anosognosia. A defect in a theoretical comparator where expectations are compared to feedback may also be a cause of anosognosia, but further evidence is needed to support this postulate. Based on the studies of anosognosia for hemiplegia we have reviewed it appears that normal self-awareness depends on several modular systems. Further research of these possible mechanisms is needed to discern their relative importance and treatment. If these mechanisms do not fully account for anosognosia, investigators will need to develop and test new hypotheses.

History of Advent
Over 140 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. William Babb realized that the children in the neighborhood had no Sunday School to attend. They decided to rent a store room at Barret and Broadway and open such a Sunday School. Little did they dream that it would develop into a parish. On Advent Sunday of 1870, the Rev. Doctor James Craik named it "the Sunday School of the Advent." After rapid growth, it became evident that the school should have its own building. In spite of facing many obstacles, the Rev. Doctor John N. Norton (husband of the founder of Norton Hospital, Mary Louise Sutton Norton) consented to pay the rent for five years for a lot at 1119-21 East Broadway, if funds could be raised to erect a building. That building was completed in December 1872, and the first service held on the third Sunday of Advent. A parish organization was effected in December, 1873, and the parish admitted into union with the Council of the Diocese in May, 1874.
The modest wooden chapel on East Broadway served its purpose well. The mission Sunday School had become a parish, but for the parish to be permanent and continue the work begun, a larger and better building was needed.
The congregation had little money but much faith. Through kind and generous friends, a lot was purchased and plans were prepared by Frederick C. Withers, of New York City. Ground was broken, and the first spadeful of earth was turned by Mrs. Mary Tyler. Through her contribution to the building fund, supplemented by generous gifts from other members of her family, the building of the new church was assured.
The first rector of the parish, the Rev. Mortimer M. Benton, was largely responsible for the architecture and design of our present church. It is said that he watched almost every stone set in its place. He continued as a faithful and devoted rector for nine years. The cornerstone of the church was laid by Bishop Dudley in 1887, and the first service was held on the second Sunday after Easter, April 15, 1888. By dint of hard work, loving sacrifice, and by a generous gift of Miss Roberta Tyler, the debt of the church was paid off, and the church was consecrated on November 29, 1903.
Soon the need of a Parish House was felt, and the first steps to fill that need were taken by leasing the dwelling next to the church. The late Mrs. Dudley purchased the lot and presented it to the church as a memorial to Bishop Dudley. In 1909 the Vestry and the congregation decided to build a Parish House. They constructed the auditorium and lower floor and retained the front rooms of the dwelling for class rooms and Guild rooms. In 1924, the new front and ambulatory were added. The stained glass windows in the ambulatory depict St. Hilary of Poitiers and had belonged to Bishop Dudley. This is an irreplaceable work of art from the collection of Mr. Willement of London, author of an heraldic history of Canterbury Cathedral.
In 1974, Cherokee Triangle was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and Church of the Advent was listed as "the architectural and historical cornerstone of the district."
The founders of the Church of the Advent established – over 140 years ago – a good and strong spiritual tradition. We the members are privileged to continue this tradition. Let us renew the spiritual leadership of the founders and provide more opportunities for our children and youth to grow through work and worship in the church.
The Church of the Advent is named for the season of Advent which begins the liturgical year four Sundays before Christmas Day. The word Advent is derived from the Latin word Adventus, which means "coming."
Inscribed above the doors at the Church of the Advent is a Latin text from Isaiah 7:14: "Ecce Virgo concipiet et pariet Filium" which translates "Behold! A Virgin shall conceive, and bring forth a Son." These words remind us of the anticipation of the season of Advent, during which we await the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ into the world. Isaiah continues: "et vocabitur nomen ejus Emmanuel" (and his name shall be called Emmanuel).
The season of Advent calls us as a community to wait expectantly, even without knowing exactly what is coming tomorrow. We have faith that Christ's coming will be the essence of sanctification for all people.

Statement from L'Arche, following the verdict at the inquest into the death of Joe Ulleri
Speaking outside the Coroner's Court in Manchester, Kevin Coogan, Community Leader of L'Arche Manchester, read out the following statement on behalf of L'Arche.
Jean Vanier: Biography
Jean Vanier founded L'Arche in 1964, after becoming aware of the plight of thousands of people with learning disabilities who were institutionalised in France. He was an inspiring teacher whose life was testament to a radically different way of living and being in the world. He created a Community where people with and without learning disabilities were living together.
Summer in the Forest is a full-length feature film about our founder Jean Vanier and the L'Arche communities in Trosly, France and Bethlehem. It tells how two L'Arche communities, though quite different from those in the UK, share our common values, and shows how people with learning disabilities and assistants / care workers that support them are living together.
L'Arche statement following the recent BBC Panorama documentary and the release of the CQC report into the detainment of people with learning disabilities
The Panorama programme aired by the BBC on Wednesday 22nd May showing the abuse of people with learning disabilities, and the recently published CQC report revealing the detainment of people with learning disabilities and autism in ATUs (Assessment and Treatment Units), once again reveals the appalling mistreatment and abuse experienced by some of society's most vulnerable people.
Jean Vanier interview: belonging in a time of loneliness.
We interviewed Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche, at his home in the L'Arche Trosly Community in France. Listen to Jean as he reflects on ageing and fragility, loss and loneliness, and the mystery that compels people to L'Arche.
While some individuals wish to live in a home with other people, others prefer to be supported to live independently. At L'Arche we help people to choose a way of life that feels right for them, and for their families.

Legislating Under The Influence: Bar and Restaurant Group Opposes Drunk Driving Measure in Congress
There is an interesting story out of Washington where a powerful industry group is lobbying to kill legislation. Nothing new there. Lobbyists routinely kill bills in Congress and write other bills. However, this effort has raised a few eyebrows because the American Beverage Institute is opposing a drunk driving measure in the House Transportation bill — a measure calling for states to require in-car Breathalyzers for people convicted of drunk driving. So far, however, to the chagrin of the ABI, Congress has refused to yield to demands to eliminate the provision.
There are many good-faith reasons for such measures to be criticized, including the encroachment of federal authority on state rights. For many years, there have been objections over the practice of Congress collecting taxes with the sole purposes of returning the money to the states with federal mandates or conditions. The Supreme Court has upheld the practice while preserving a very limited (and unused) exception in extreme cases. I have previously testified against the expansion of these federal bills with conditional funds. The American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act contains $493 million for federal highway safety grants.
However, this law does not deny highway or transportation funds to states unwilling to pass the laws. It simply offers $25 million per year to states that require the devices to be installed for anyone convicted of driving under the influence — even first-time offenders.
This should be the last group to be arguing against drunk driving provisions. The group representing more than 8,000 U.S. restaurants insists that these laws do not distinguish between cases of high and low alcohol levels. As such, they argue, the law denies judges to make tailored sentences.
Fifteen states require all convicted drunk drivers to use ignition interlocks and studies show a sharp decline in drunk driving deaths, with Oregon and Arizona experiencing a fall of 52 and 51 percent, respectively. I am not sure of the cause and effect but it would seem that such laws would have an obvious impact on drunk driving. I actually do favor giving judges more discretion in such matters. However, the ABI shows little judgment in ignoring its obvious conflict of interest in such matters while publicly campaigning against the measures. It leaves the impression of bars and restaurants working to ensure that drunk drivers will be able to return to their establishments. The optics are perfectly horrible and it is hard to see why these 8000 businesses pay to create such a public relations disaster.
Yet, the ABI has previously fought these measures despite the bad press. Like many industry groups, there is little fear that customers will blame individual members for the actions of their lobbyists or think tanks — particularly when there are over 8000 of them.

children are fascinated by colors. before they are relatively other to this world, and are exceedingly keen and perceptive, they adjudicate each extra hue and shade to be exquisite and exceptional, unlike us, who have hypothetical to agree to every the colors in the world for granted, and don't even see twice at any new shade as such, believing it to be just option share of the surrounding environment.

Summary of the Virginia lunatic anti-gun law recently voted into law
Prohibiting sale, transport, etc., of assault firearms, certain firearm magazines, silencers, and trigger activators; penalties. Expands the definition of "assault firearm" Defined as what? Assault weapons are fully automatic military grade firearms that require special permits to own and the permits aren't easily obtainable so where are the Lunatics going with this? Maybe they are suggesting that a scary looking semi-automatic hunting rifle originally designed by Armalite Rifle (AR) back in the 1950's is an "assault weapon". and prohibits any person from importing, selling, transferring, manufacturing, purchasing, possessing, or transporting an assault firearm. So that when a person dies the "assault weapon" must then be confiscated instead of a law-abiding family member inheriting it. A violation is a Class 6 felony. I suppose it's imperative for the Anti-gun Lunatics to attempt to make law abiding citizens Felons to reduce the number of potential gun owners in the future. The bill prohibits a dealer from selling, renting, trading, or transferring from his inventory an assault firearm to any person. Got to keep those scary looking semi-automatic hunting rifles out of the hands of law-abiding citizens that can pass background checks as opposed to criminals that actually commit crimes. Maybe all gun shop owners should simply surrender their inventory of "assault weapons" since they can no longer sell them. LOL, like that's going to happen. The bill also prohibits a person from carrying a shotgun with a magazine that will hold more than seven rounds of the longest ammunition for which it is chambered in a public place; under existing law, this prohibition applies only in certain localities. Anti-gun Lunatics have a wild imagination. After all, they've got to stop those hunters from hunting doves and ducks in heavily populated areas. LOL. The bill makes it a Class 6 felony to import, sell, transfer, manufacture, purchase, possess, or transport large-capacity firearm magazines, silencers, and trigger activators, all defined in the bill. The Anti-gun Lunatics have got to build a larger criminal database to limit future gun ownership. Any person who legally owns an assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator on July 1, 2020, may retain possession until January 1, 2021. During that time, such person shall (i) render the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator inoperable; (ii) remove the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator from the Commonwealth Excuse me idiots running Virginia. See above. You made the selling, transfer, and transportation of an "Assault Weapon" illegal and a Class 6 Felony. ; (iii) transfer the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator to a person outside the Commonwealth who is not prohibited from possessing it See last comment.; or (iv) surrender the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator to a state or local law-enforcement agency Yeah, not going to happen.
The bill further states that any person who legally owns an assault firearm on July 1, 2020, may retain possession of such assault firearm after January 1, 2021, if such person has obtained a permit from the Department of State Police to possess an assault
firearm in accordance with procedures established in the bill What does "shall not be infringed" mean to Anti-gun Lunatics?. A person issued such permit may possess an assault firearm only under the following conditions: (a) while in his home or on his property or while on the property of another who has provided prior permission, provided that the person has the landowner's written permission on his person while on such property; (b) while at a shooting range, shooting gallery, or other area designated for the purpose of target shooting or the target range of a public or private club or organization whose members have organized for the purpose of practicing shooting targets or competing in target shooting matches; (c) while engaged in lawful hunting; or (d) while surrendering the assault firearm to a state or local law-enforcement agency. So a person can still own an "Assault Weapon" (as defined by Lunatics that don't know anything about guns) if they get a permit, i.e. register it so the state can tax your gun ownership. What happens when you die? How is the "assault weapon" transferred to your son? What is the permit process for that application? Another means of confiscation, no doubt. And since it's registered, the state knows where to find it. A person issued such permit may also transport an assault firearm between any of those locations, provided that such assault firearm is unloaded and secured within a closed container while being transported. The bill also provides that failure to display the permit and a photo identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer shall be punishable by a $25 civil penalty Got to build some revenue like the good police state Virginia has become. It's all about that MONEY., which shall be paid into the state treasury. The bill also requires the Department of State Police to enter the name and description of a person issued a permit in the Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) so that the permit's existence and current status will be made known to the law-enforcement personnel accessing VCIN for investigative purpose Lunatics want mandatory registration of your really mean looking semi-automatic hunting rifle. They've been saying it for a long time so I'm not shocked.
I have asked Fuzz and others this and the other gun grabbers who have been on this board in the past and they won't answer
Which is the assault rifle and why is it one?
or B
They have no clue. But they've learned a lot about nothing from CNN, MSNBC, folks that weren't raised around guns, and folks that don't know the difference between a bolt action, semi-automatic, and automatic. But they know enough to feel comfortable with trying to limit or take our Rights away. Why? Because they were elected so they have a mandate, they have ivy league educations, they are the elites, and in their minds we are their peasants.
I hope Virginia rises up and raises absolute hell with their elitist in any fashion they see fit so that they will hear the voices of our Founders loud and clear. I hope they rise up in a fashion that will absolutely strike fear in the hearts of the Lunatics in other states that are contemplating the same idea.

I think it is much sinister than that

Over the last couple of days, we filmed and edited " The Public Service Announcement". It's a long-gestating idea, suggested by my focus group/work colleagues (who all vociferously use hand sanitizer several times a day). It took some time to find a way in – I didn't want to do a bland direct to camera monologue, and eventually found inspiration in Mr. T's PSAs and raps, intended to "reach the kids".
In these irony-drenched postmodern times, the cringe factor is almost unbearable. We tried to capture its tone, to keep it as sweet and sincere as possible. If ours has its share of irony, it's only what the viewer brings to it – on face value, it's just as genuine and heartfelt.
For our shortest video, there's several firsts. In particular, we experimented with green screen effects – I wouldn't say completely successfully, but we learnt a lot. If we can bring down the amount of time they added to the shoot, I'd like them to become a regular fixture.
We're taking a short break from filming, and exploring some promo opportunities (a photo shoot, vinyl stickers, a live cooking demonstration, as well as further "online penetration"). I'll also use this time to script the next two episodes in conjunction, allowing us to set-up gags in one episode that pay off in the next (which we do now, but the possibilities are greater with a little premeditation. There's times we've thought, "if only we had this extra bit with a guest chef" or the like).

Q: PostgreSQL: Hard max_wal_size or replication slot timeout is it possible to configure something like a timeout for inactive (logical) replication slots or a hard max_wal_size, which is applied even if there is an inactive replication slot?

A: Before v13 there is no such thing, and you have to use wal_keep_segments instead of replication slots.
From v13 on, you can set a limit with max_slot_wal_keep_size. If that is exceeded, the primary will remove WAL segments even if a replication slot says that someone still needs them. That will of course break replication for the standby that uses this slot.

\section{Introduction}
Group-III nitrides are of considerable interest for applications in
 laser and light-emitting
diodes\cite{Nakamura96v35,Nakamura97,Taniyasu06v441}.  Alloying
different group-III elements in nitride compounds (e.g., Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N or
In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N) provides a means of tuning
the band gap over a wide spectral range
(e.g., from blue to infrared in the case of In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N).
The growth of high quality group-III nitride compounds can be a considerable
challenge and a barrier to the successful transition of these materials into
applications.  The connection between vapor phase growth
processes and film quality can usually be traced back to the interplay of growth
conditions and surface structure. While there have been several
theoretical studies on the surfaces of group-III nitrides, these have largely
focused upon AlN and
GaN\cite{Northrup96v53,Northrup97v55,Smith97v79,Rapcewicz97v56,%
Fritsch98v57,Wang01v64,Lee03v68,Timon05v72}.  Relatively little
theoretical analysis has been devoted to the surfaces of InN, largely
because the level of interest in this material has been limited by
difficulty in producing this material.

InN is an attractive material for electronic and opto-electronic applications
because it possesses a series of outstanding
properties\cite{Bhuiyan03v94}, such as a small effective mass\cite{Mohammad96v20} (leading to a large electron
mobility and a high carrier saturation velocity).  The steady-state
drift velocity in InN is $4.2\times 10^7$ cm/s is significantly larger than
that of many III-V competitors, GaN ($2.9 \times 10^7$~cm/s), AlN
($1.7\times 10^7$~cm/s), and GaAs
($1.6\times 10^7$~cm/s)\cite{Foutz99v85,Bhuiyan03v94}.
Since InN exhibits a high peak overshoot velocity\cite{Foutz99v85}, it is a good
candidate for high-performance heterojunction field-effect
transistors.

The growth of high quality InN is difficult compared to other
III-nitrides, such as AlN and GaN, because it has a relatively
low dissociation temperature and a high equilibrium
N$_2$ vapor pressure\cite{MacChesney70v5,Ambacher96v14}.
The lack of suitable
substrate materials also hinders the use of InN as a heteroepitaxial thin film.
Nonetheless, several groups\cite{Davydov02v229,Wu02v80,Nanishi03v42} have
successfully grown good quality InN single crystals.  Interestingly, they have
reported bandgaps of approximately 0.9~eV, which is quite small
compared to the commonly accepted values of 1.8~eV to 2.1~eV.

Since InN does not possess a center of symmetry,
the (0001) and $(000{\overline 1})$ surfaces are different.  The first is
In-terminated, while the latter is N-terminated.  Experimental evidence
suggests that polarity (termination) is an important consideration in the growth of
high quality group-III nitride semiconductors\cite{Saito01v228}.  For example,
surface with opposite polarity exhibit different morphologies\cite{Daudin96v69}.
Radio frequency molecular
beam epitaxial (rf-MBE) growth of InN on sapphire\cite{Saito01v228} produces
different polarity surfaces depending on growth temperature (N-terminated at
low temperature, In-terminated at high temperature).  This demonstrates that growth
conditions can modify the relative growth rates of surfaces with opposite polarity.
The observed change in the relative growth rates of surfaces with opposite polarity
with temperature
may be associated with different activation energies for growth or may be
indicative a change in surface structure with growth conditions.
In this work, we determine the equilibrium structure of the important
(0001) and $(000{\overline 1})$ surfaces of InN as a function of growth conditions.
In particular, we examine the role of In (or N)
chemical potential on the equilibrium surface structure.  We vary chemical potential
rather than temperature, since the range of chemical potentials that are
experimentally accessible is much larger than that for temperature in
the most common group-III nitride growth methods (i.e., MOCVD).

\section{Theoretical models}
The present calculations are performed within the  local
density approximation (LDA) framework, as implemented within the Vienna Simulation
Package (VASP)\cite{Kresse96v54}, employing ultrasoft
pseudopotentials\cite{Vanderbilt90v41}.  The
important\cite{Wright95v51} 4d states for In are included as valence
electrons in the pseudopotentials.  Throughout this work, we employed
a relatively high cutoff energy of 435~eV.  We first optimize the bulk
wurtzite InN structure, yielding the following lattice parameters\cite{Gan06v73}:
 $a=3.518$~\AA, $c = 5.690$~\AA, and
the internal parameter $u=0.379$.  These lattice parameters are in
very good agreement with those found from
experiment\cite{Davydov02v229}; $a = 3.5365$~\AA\ and $c=
5.7039$~\AA.

For the surface calculations, our supercells contained six (0001) bilayers
in which the lower four bilayers were fixed in the bulk
configuration.  The upper two bilayers and any adatoms or adlayers
were allowed to relax. Our system is larger than those used by
many others in studies of other group-III nitride surfaces, where typically four
bilayers\cite{Smith97v79,Rapcewicz97v56, Wang01v64,Lee03v68} were
employed.  To prevent unphysical charge transfer between the top and bottom
slab surfaces, pseudo-hydrogens with fractional charges are used. For the
In-terminated (0001) surface, the dangling bonds in the N layer are
saturated with pseudo-hydrogens with a fractional charge of 3/4.  For
the N-terminated $(000{\overline 1})$ surface, we saturate the
dangling bonds in the In layer with pseudo-hydrogens with a fractional
charge of 5/4.  We employ a $2\times 2 \times 1$ Monkhost-Pack set
sampling scheme for the surface supercell, which gives two irreducible
$k$-points.  The structural optimizations were terminated when the
magnitude of the Hellmann-Feynman force on each ion is less than
1~mRy/Bohr (25.7~meV/\AA).  We perform calculations with vacuum
thicknesses of both 12.9~\AA\ and 15.7~\AA.  These two sets of calculations
yield almost identical
results, showing the appropriateness of the vacuum thickness employed.
Hereafter we present the results obtained with a vacuum thickness of
15.7~\AA.

We consider various vacancy, adatom, trimer, and
monolayer surface structures that satisfy the electron
counting rule\cite{Northrup97v55}. It is useful to refer to Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a),
which shows two (0001) layers of atoms in a $2 \times 2$ surface unit cell,
in order to understand the structures.
The surfaces considered include a
perfect surface [as shown by the black circles
in Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a)], a monolayer of In (or N)
atoms directly above each In (or N) terminating atom  [i.e., this is 4 atop
atoms in the $2 \times 2$ cell of Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a)], a quarter-monolayer of
adatoms with the adatoms directly atop one of the In (or N) atoms (T4 sites)
in the $2 \times 2$ cell, a quarter-monolayer of
adatoms with the adatoms centered between three surface atoms
(H3 sites), a single vacancy in the terminating plane of the
$2 \times 2$ cell, and a triangle of three In (or N) atoms on H3 or
T4 sites (i.e., a trimer). The relaxed structure of a representative case of
an In trimer on the T4 sites is shown in Figs.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(b) and \ref{fig:h3t4}(c).

The relative formation energies of the different surfaces are calculated
within the thermodynamically allowed range of the In
chemical potential $\mu_{\rm In}$.
The chemical potentials of In and
N are related through\cite{Qian88v38}
\begin{equation}
\mu_{\rm In} + \mu_{\rm N} = \mu_{\rm InN(bulk)} .
\label{eq:1}
\end{equation}
Operationally, we can define the chemical potential
$\mu_{\rm InN(bulk)}$ as the total energy per
cation-anion pair $E({\rm InN}_{\rm bulk})$ in  wurtzite InN at 0~K.  The
chemical potential of In is bounded above by that of the pure, tetragonal
In metal\cite{Graham56v84}, denoted by $\mu_{\rm In}^0 = E({\rm In})$.
Similarly, the chemical potential of N is
bounded above by that of a nitrogen molecule N$_2$, denoted by $\mu_{\rm N}^0 = \frac{1}{2}E({\rm N}_2)$.
The enthalpy of formation of  InN is simply
\begin{equation}
 \Delta H = \mu_{\rm InN(bulk)} -
\mu_{\rm N}^0 - \mu_{\rm In}^0
\label{eq:2}
\end{equation}
where $E({\rm In})$, $E({\rm N_2})$, and $E({\rm InN_{bulk}})$ are determined
from total energy calculations within LDA.
The calculated enthalpy of formation of InN, $\Delta H=-0.376$~eV, agrees reasonably well  with the
experimental value\cite{Harrison89,Kittel96} of $-0.28$~eV.  The fact that
these calculations suggest that InN is more strongly bound than in experiments
is not surprising since the LDA tends to lead to overbinding.
The small enthalpy of formation implies
that InN has a low thermal stability compared with other group-III
nitrides such as GaN and AlN where the experimental formation
enthalpies\cite{Harrison89,Kittel96} are $-1.23$~eV (i.e., 4 times
larger than for InN) and $-3.21$~eV (i.e., 11 times larger than for InN),
respectively.

The formation energy of any structure is calculated from
\begin{eqnarray}
E_{\rm form} &=& E_{\rm opt} - n_{\rm In}\mu_{\rm In} - n_{\rm N}\mu_{\rm N} \nonumber \\
&=&E_{\rm opt} - \mu_{\rm In}(n_{\rm In}-n_{\rm N})-\mu_{\rm InN(bulk)}n_{\rm N},
\label{eq:3}
\end{eqnarray}
where $E_{\rm opt}$ is the total energy of the structure resulting
from the optimization of the structure with respect to atomic positions
and $n_{\rm In}$
and $n_{\rm N}$ are the number of In and N atoms in the structure, respectively.
We have used Eq.~(\ref{eq:1}) to eliminate
$\mu_{\rm N}$  to arrive at the second line of
Eq.~(\ref {eq:3}).
Equations (\ref{eq:1}) and (\ref{eq:2}) show that
the  thermodynamically allowed range of the chemical potential of In is
$\Delta H + \mu_{\rm In}^0 \le \mu_{\rm In} \le \mu_{\rm In}^0 $.

\section{The $(0001)$ Surface}
The relative formation energies for the $2 \times 2$  InN $(0001)$
unit cell of Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a) are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:1-bar1}(a) for
the surface structures described above as a function of the In
chemical potential.  In this figure, we reference the energy
to that of the $2 \times 2$  InN $(0001)$ unit cell with a single In vacancy
in the surface atomic plane. This simplifies
the comparison of energies between the different structures,
as well as leads to the  cancellation of
the contribution to $E_{\rm opt}$ in
Eq.~(\ref{eq:3}) from the chemical potential of pseudo-hydrogen atoms.
We omit the curves for the structures
of energies greater than 0.25 eV.
Note that the slopes of the lines in Fig.~\ref{fig:1-bar1} simply follow
from the fact that the different structures have
different numbers of In
and N atoms (see Eq.~(\ref{eq:3})).

The surface with an N adatom on the H3 site has a lower energy
than that with an N adatom on the T4 site by
0.70~eV/$2\times 2$.  This is largely due to a stronger electrostatic
repulsion between the T4 nitrogen adatom and the nitrogen atom below.
Similar behavior has been observed for the AlN\cite{Northrup97v55} $(0001)$
and GaN\cite{Rapcewicz97v56} $(0001)$ surfaces.
The surface with an In adatom
on the T4 site has a lower energy than that  with an
In adatom on the H3 site since there is an electrostatic attraction
between the In adatom on the T4 site and the N atom below. The
surface with a full In monolayer with atoms on the atop sites has
a relatively high energy compared with the other (0001) surfaces.

Under N-rich conditions (low In chemical potential), the bare
$1\times 1$ (In terminated) surface [as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a)]
has the lowest energy.
Our calculations also show that surfaces in which the In trimer resides
on either the T4 or H3 sites yield essentially the same energy,
despite the fact that In atoms are directly above N atoms in
the T4 In trimer model. Similar behavior is observed for the
AlN$(000{\overline 1})$\cite{Northrup97v55} surface
where Al trimers on the T4 or H3 sites have the same energy.
This shows that arguments based solely on electrostatic interactions
are not sufficient to explain even the qualitative behavior of
many of the adatom reconstructed surfaces.
Figure~\ref{fig:1-bar1}(a) shows that under In-rich (large
In chemical potential) conditions,
the stable (0001) surface have In trimers, located on either
T4 or H3 sites.
The present results for the stable (0001) InN surface are
significantly different than the same surface in other group-III nitrides
across the entire range of chemical potentials.
For AlN$(0001)$ \cite{Northrup97v55} and
GaN$(0001)$\cite{Rapcewicz97v56} surfaces, the surface with an N
adatom on the H3 site is found to be energetically favorable under
N-rich conditions, while the surface structure with a metal atom
(i.e., Al or Ga) on the T4 site is energetically favorable under
metal-rich conditions.

Examination of the unreconstructed InN $(0001)$ surface
[as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a)] shows that
the In-N bilayer spacings for the first and second bilayers are
0.654~\AA\ and 0.655~\AA, respectively.  These are slightly smaller
than the ideal, bulk spacing of 0.688~\AA.  The spacing between
In-In atomic planes are 2.862~\AA\ and 2.825~\AA\ for the first and
second pairs, as compared with a bulk spacing of 2.845~\AA.
This shows that the spacing between the first In-In
layer expands, while the second contracts, relative to the bulk spacing.
Similar oscillatory surface relaxations are observed in other systems
(e.g., see Ref. \onlinecite{Sun03v68}).

For the InN $(0001)$ surface with a single In vacancy on the surface layer,
we find that the top-layer In atoms undergoes
$sp^2$ bonding configuration by relaxing vertically. This reduces the
bond length between the threefold-coordinated In and the
threefold-coordinated N atoms from the ideal value of 2.145~\AA\ to
2.050~\AA.  This 4.4~\% reduction in length is comparable to that for
the case of AlN\cite{Northrup97v55}, where a 6\% contraction in the
distance between the Al and N atoms in the vacancy model of AlN$(0001)$
surface was observed.  The vertical movement of the top layer
atoms reduces the top In-N bilayer spacing from the ideal value of
0.688~\AA\ to 0.350~\AA.

The surface for with an In trimer on the T4 or H3 sites
have the same energy and are the most stable surfaces at large
In chemical potential, as discussed above.
It is interesting to note that the interlayer spacing between the trimer
In atoms and the In atoms in the next plane are 2.61~\AA\  for
the T4 site trimer and  2.60~\AA\ for the H3 site trimer.  Hence,
these two surface configurations are very similar both structurally
and energetically.

\section{The $(000{\overline 1})$ Surface}

The relative formation energies for the $2 \times 2$  InN $(000{\overline 1})$
unit cell of Fig.~\ref{fig:h3t4}(a) are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:1-bar1}(b) for
the surface structures described above as a function of the In
chemical potential.  In this figure, we reference the energy
to that of the $2 \times 2$  InN $(000{\overline 1})$  unit cell with a
single N vacancy in the surface atomic plane.
No results are presented for the surfaces with N adatoms or N trimers
since these systems are unstable.
Northrup {\it et al.}\cite{Northrup97v55} argued that the
relatively small size of the N atom makes surfaces with N adatoms or
trimers on the AlN$(000{\overline 1})$ highly unstable.  It is
therefore not surprising that our calculations also show that N trimer
or N adatom models are not stable since the single-bond covalent
radius\cite{Cotton95} of In (1.48~\AA) is considerable larger
than that of Al (1.30~\AA).

The relaxed unreconstructed InN $(000{\overline 1})$ surface
(N-terminated) has a very large  formation energy, relative to most
of the other surface structures.
We find that the surfaces with an In adatom on the H3 site has an
energy that is 1.83~eV/$(2\times 2)$ lower than that with the In
adatom on the T4 site.
This may be attributed to the fact that there is greater electrostatic
repulsion between the T4 In adatom and the In atom directly below it
than between the H3 In adatom and the more distant In atoms two
atomic planes below.
Similar argument also holds for In trimer models, where the H3 In
trimer has a lower in energy than the T4 In trimer by
1.23~eV/$(2\times 2)$.
The surface with an In monolayer with the atoms on
the atop sites has the lowest energy across the entire allowed range of
In chemical potential.
The next lowest energy structure under N-rich (low In chemical potential)
conditions is surface with a single In adatom in the $2\times2$ unit cell
on the H3 site.
These results contrast with the results for other group-III
nitrides $(000{\overline 1})$ surfaces.  In AlN and GaN, the lowest
energy surface structure corresponds to an Al
monolayer (atop sites occupied)\cite{Northrup97v55} or Ga monolayer\cite{Gan06_unpublishedB}  only under metal-rich conditions.
However, under N-rich conditions, the $(000{\overline 1})$ surfaces
with  a single Al or Ga atom on the H3 site in the $2\times2$ unit cell have
the lowest energy.

Examination of the InN $(000{\overline 1})$ surface  with an In monolayer
with the In atoms on the atop sites is the lowest energy structure over the
entire chemical potential range, as mentioned above.
The In-N bilayer spacing for the top two bilayers
are 0.519~\AA\ and 0.510~\AA, as compared with a bulk spacing of
0.668 \AA.  The In-In atomic plane separations are
2.482~\AA, 2.423~\AA, and 2.593~\AA\ for the first three pairs
(counted from the surface), as compared with the bulk value of 2.845~\AA.
This is a substantial contraction that oscillates as it decays slowly
into the bulk.

The surface structure corresponding to an In adatom in the H3 site
also has a relatively low energy.
This adatom is situated 0.808~\AA\ above the triangle of three N
atoms in the plane below.
The corresponding In-N bond length is 1.980~\AA.
The three N atoms that form this triangle (i.e., nearest neighbors
of the In H3 adatom) are displaced upward, toward the In adatom
by 0.424~\AA\ relative to the other, threefold-coordinated surface
N atoms.

In the InN$(000{\overline 1})$ surface structure with a single
N-vacancy in the $2\times2$  unit cell, the  top-layer N atoms
undergo substantial vertical relaxation.
In this structure, the N-In bilayer spacing is 0.328~\AA\ as compared
with the bulk spacing of  0.688~\AA.
The bond length between the threefold-coordinated N and In atoms
is also reduced from the ideal value of 2.145~\AA\ to 1.898~\AA.
This is an 11.5\%\ reduction in bond length, which is much larger than
the 6\%\ contraction observed in the N vacancy surface structure
of AlN$(000{\overline 1})$\cite{Northrup97v55}.
This large contraction may be attributed to the system trying to move
toward a configuration that is $sp^2$ bonded.

\section{Conclusions}
We have performed density-functional calculations to
determine the stable structure of both the  InN $(0001)$
and $(000{\overline 1})$ surfaces as a function of the
In (or N) chemical potential. We considered twelve plausible
surface structures.  Several earlier studies considered
the structure of this surface in other group-III nitrides.
While structurally similar, InN is quite distinct, as indicated
by a much lower heat of formation than the others (BN, AlN,
GaN).

For the $(0001)$ surface, we find that the relaxed,
unreconstructed InN $(0001)$ (In terminated) surface
is stable under N-rich (low In chemical potential) conditions.
On the other hand, under In rich (large In chemical potential)
conditions, the stable structure corresponds to a trimer of
In adatoms on either H3 or T4 sites (this is $3/4$ of an In monolayer).
These stable $(0001)$ surface structures differ from those
found for two other closely related group-III nitrides
over the entire range of accessible chemical potentials.
The stable structure of the InN $(000{\overline 1})$ surface corresponds
to a monolayer of In atoms directly above the surface N atoms.
This structure is stable over the entire range of accessible chemical
potentials.
In AlN and GaN, the same surface structure was only found to be
stable under metal-rich conditions.

The present results provide guidance for the exploitation of
different thin film growth methods/conditions in order to exploit the
dependence of equilibrium reconstructions on chemical potential.
Unlike in GaN or AlN, the stable structure of the important $(0001)$
surface can be manipulated by changes in growth condition.

Bitcoin is new gold for millennials, Wharton's finance professor says
15 min ago•2 min read•Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC), the world's most-valued cryptocurrency, has replaced gold as an inflation hedge for young investors, according to Wharton's finance professor.
Gold's performance was "disappointing" in 2021, Wharton School's finance professor Jeremy Siegel said in a CNBC Squawk Box last Friday.
On the other hand, BTC has been increasingly emerging as an inflation hedge among younger investors, Siegel argued:
"Let's face the fact, I think Bitcoin as an inflation hedge in the minds of many of the younger investors has replaced gold. Digital coins are the new gold for the millennials. I think that the story of gold is a fact that the young generation is regarding Bitcoin as the substitute."
Siegel has also reminded that older generations witnessed how gold soared during the inflation of the 1970s. "This time, it is not in favor," he added.
Gold, which traditionally emerged as an asset class providing a hedge against inflation, failed to meet investors' expectations in 2021, recording its worst year since 2015 and dropping around 5% to close the year at $1,800. Despite massive price fluctuations over the course of 2021, BTC surged around 70% over a year by the end of 2021.
Several prominent global investors supported BTC over gold in 2021, with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban arguing that Bitcoin was "better than gold" in October 2021. Starwood Capital Group co-founder Barry Sternlicht also said that gold was actually "worthless," and he is holding BTC because every government was printing massive amounts of money.
But despite BTC becoming an increasingly popular asset against gold, many financial and crypto experts believe that it is yet to prove inflation hedge status.

It's my birthday, so what better time to share a bit of good news? If I had my way, Nebula Rescue would be out yesterday, but I am still tweaking and adding the last details. But while you wait for the game, here is the freshly released soundtrack! The two tracks featured in the game are now a mini digital album, including an extended version of the menu track, "Making Choices".
Listen to the whole thing using the embedded player, and get a copy of the entire soundtrack for $1.99 (or more) via Bandcamp.
As for the game itself, it's really down to the final details now. I had one persistent bug that took two full days to hunt down, but the game plays the way it's supposed to now, and the difficulty level is balanced how I want it. I still need to add a few sound effects, and Nebula Rescue will be ready to head to the App Store for approval.
Don't forget that you can "Like" Nebula Rescue on Facebook too – there's even an email signup, if you want notification when the game goes live (or consideration for a free promo/review copy).

All Thrivent bank clients -- more than 46,000 as of October -- will become member-owners of the new credit union when they transfer their accounts. The credit union will have nearly $500 million in assets.
The bank, meanwhile, is changing its name and charter to become a limited purpose, non-depository trust called Thrivent Trust Co., which will have $600 million in assets under management and continue to be regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
"It's good to see the light at the end of the tunnel," said Todd Sipe, head of Thrivent's bank and the credit union's new president and CEO.
In an interview Monday, Sipe said that Mike Haglin, a division vice president for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, will serve as chairman of the credit union's board.
Thrivent received the final go-ahead in a written order from the OCC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in mid-November, Sipe said. The credit union's main regulator now will be the National Credit Union Administration.
Thrivent, a Minneapolis-based fraternal benefit society, is part of an exodus from banking after the 2010 passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, which intensified bank regulation and requirements.
To avoid the additional requirements, a number of large life insurance companies such as Prudential Financial Inc. have taken steps in recent years to ditch their designation as savings and loan holding companies by disposing of their bank units in some fashion and focusing instead on trust services, according to SNL Financial. Prudential Bank & Trust, for instance, sold its deposits to Wayzata-based TCF Financial Corp. earlier this year. Others have closed or repurposed their deposit operations.
Minneapolis-based Ameriprise Financial Inc. also is in the process of turning Ameriprise Bank from a federal savings bank to a non-depository trust, a process it expects to complete by the end of the year.
But turning bank units into credit unions is not the popular option.
There's no profit motive, noted Pat Keefe, spokesman for the Credit Union National Association. Keefe said his organization thinks the last time a U.S. bank converted to a credit union charter was 1996, when a bank serving Eastman Kodak employees converted to ESL Federal Credit Union in Rochester, N.Y.
David Royal, deputy general counsel for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, said the bank could have taken other approaches, such as liquidating, but that didn't seem prudent. Plus, the credit union model fits well with Thrivent because of its common bond with the Lutheran community, he said.
"We thought it was important to continue offering depository services to Thrivent members," Royal said, describing the credit union as "sort of an elegant way of solving a problem."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez met Monday in the Spanish capital to align their left-wing governments' agendas and plan how to boost progressive policies in the 27-nation European Union.
As he fights for his career, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has one constant refrain: Wait for Sue Gray.
Credit Suisse said Monday that its chairman has resigned following an internal investigation that reportedly found he violated quarantine rules intended to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

When did music first really speak to you? For young Wellington rock quartet Bakers Eddy, it was as teenagers. Inspired by 90s/2000s rock, the foursome practiced together relentlessly. With Foo Fighters, Shihad, The Mint Chicks and The D4 as references, they became the polished band of entertainers they are now.
Over the last two years, Bakers Eddy have done substantial work to build on their talent and dedication, establishing themselves as one of the most in-demand young rock bands from the capital in the process. Of late, infectious single 'Something Outside' has been supported heavily by The Rock FM, and accumulated over 16,000 plays on soundcloud.
Dedicated and professional, their music is all lean muscle. Welding infectious melodies to classic rock themes, ascendant guitar riffs and sing-along group vocals - live and recorded - Bakers Eddy are poised to make a significant impact on the New Zealand rock music scene.

PEOPLE - Changes at Arlington:
F. Barry Bays, current executive chairman of Arlington, Tennessee-based Wright Medical Group, has been named interim president and CEO of the orthopaedic medical device company. Mr Bays previously held this post from January 2000 until July 2004. The move follows a downturn in the firm's earnings outlook and the consequent resignation of former president and CEO Laurence Fairey. James Treace, board member, will serve as interim chairman. New executives will be recruited over the following months.
Subject: PEOPLE - Changes at Arlington:


Microsoft's Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) is the Unified Communications platform of choice for many businesses around the world. Used by many for ad-hoc conferencing, instant messaging and desktop collaboration, a Skype for Businessc on-premise platform takes design, planning & integration to successfully deploy into a network, and requires solutions, endpoints & accessories designed & optimised for the platform to work effectively & efficiently.
Office 365 is a subscription service to the most up-to-date tools from Microsoft from the Cloud, and can include hosted Skype For Business, more suitable for those that do not require an enterprise setup or much customisation for their organisation. There are many collaboration solutions available for both on-premise Skype for Business and Office 365, depending upon what your organisation is looking to achieve.
Deploy MS Skype for Business?
Bring MS Skype for Business or Teams into the Boardroom?
Enable your UC platform to communicate with professional room & mobile endpoints?
Integrate your Cisco WebEx platform with Skype for Business?
Connect your Microsoft Surface Hub with standards-based video?
Improve audio & acoustics in your Microsoft based meeting space?
Improve desktop audio & IP phones, and ensure all devices are optimized for Skype for Business?
All-in-one video conferencing systems, designed specifically for Skype for Business. These systems include displays, touch panels, microphones & cameras, and can be tailored to your requirements dependent upon room size & screen size, audio requirements, control requirements and features.
There are a number of options for dedicated Skype for Business room systems, including from Polycom, Crestron and Logitech, alongside the Microsoft Surface Hub. One of VideoCentric's leading Skype for Business room systems is the Crestron RL2, which provides a S4B experience directly into the meeting room space. Offered in a range of designs and bundles including both for the huddle room and boardroom, the RL2 combines the Skype for Business software with Crestron hardware, with the additional benefits of Crestron control.
Talk to us today to arrange a visit to Crestron's HQ where you can see the RL2 in action and discuss your Skype for Business requirements with experts.
For organisations that do not want to be islanded within the Microsoft world, a Skype for Business Interoperable solution provides the best of both worlds – connect with Skype for Business when needed, connect with the rest of the video communications world when you don't.
There are a number of solutions and endpoints that can be integrated with Skype for Business from many of the world's leading Video Collaboration manufacturers, either directly or via a interoperable service.
Certain systems, however, may require specific hardware, licenses, infrastructure or services to enable full compatibility or integration, so it is important to understand the difference between the whole range of solutions offered on the market today that claim compatibility with Microsoft solutions.
Leading the way with Microsoft integration is surely Polycom (Plantronics) – VideoCentric already have the Polycom Group series, Polycom Trio, Polycom CX Series and Polycom infrastructure integrated with Microsoft Skype for Business in our own offices already today, and the roadmap for Polycom and Microsoft shows even more tighter integration on the way.
Polycom solutions such as Polycom RealConnect for Office 365 and Skype for Business enables professional Video Conferencing solutions with the Skype for Business video and content sharing experience, integrating with Outlook scheduling and providing the familiar S4B layout. Organisations can bring together Skype for Business users and any standards-based Video Conferencing systems seamlessly.
There are also many solutions, accessories and services that can be combined to enable Skype for Business interoperability with the rest of the world. Many organisations have tried (and many failed) to simply escalate the desktop to the meeting room, resulting in poor video and even worse audio.
To help our customers get this right without running over budget or implementing a poor quality solution that sees low adoption in the long run, our expert support teams have tested a full portfolio of devices optimised for Microsoft in the boardroom, put them through stringent interoperability tests, and have selected our favourites including specialised audio & echo cancellation microphones, soundbars, cameras and displays, control panels and services, to provide a much better solution than simply putting a PC in the meeting space connected to a screen, and hoping this will cut it.
As Microsoft's Skype for Business does not follow standards, and so does not directly communicate with other Video Conferencing, Audio Conferencing or Data Collaboration services deployed around the world, organisations wanting to communicate with other businesses and those outside of the Microsoft world may need to implement a solution to join these different standards together.
If you'd like to discuss how Skype for Business can be integrated with your current video conferencing deployment, hear our recommendations for S4B/Microsoft Lync endpoints & accessories, or would like to trial a system for a meeting space, contact our team today.
Need to test your environment? Want to see how it all comes together? Need a demonstration? VideoCentric have Microsoft Lync 2010, 2013, Skype for Business and Office 365 integrated in-house with Video Conferencing platforms including Polycom RealPresence, Lifesize Cloud, Zoom and Cisco VCS, and the VideoCloud 365 service, all of which can be trialed almost instantly, providing seamless interoperability with Skype for Business/Microsoft Lync and the rest of the video world.
Whether through deployment of a new UC solution, or via the integration of your UC and video network islands, VideoCentric's long-standing expert partnerships and accreditations with the world's leading hardware vendors such as Cisco, Avaya, Polycom, Snom, Jabra and Plantronics, alongside the strategic partnerships in place between VideoCentric and Microsoft Expert Voice & Data partners, provide your organisation with everything you need to succeed in the world of Unified Communications.


There's a story about a little girl whose family was moving from San Francisco to Bodie; Depending on who tells it, she wrote in her diary either: "Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie"-or-"Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie".
This town was probably one of the most lawless towns in the US. A mill was established in 1861 and the town began to grow. It started with about 20 miners and grew to an estimated 10,000 people by 1880! By then, the town of Bodie bustled with families, robbers, miners, store owners, gunfighters, prostitutes and people from every country in the world.
I went there with 3 other photographers (Diane Le Fevre, Doug Turner and Jeff Schewe), and hopefully we managed to improve the town's reputation, but I'm not so sure about the other visitors.
Look at the midget i pink pushing a stroller towards the bank. Innocent? In Bodie? I don't think so!
Ordinarily when taking photographs, the limit on where a photograph can be taken is limited to where you can place your tripod, and how high or low you can get it. By mounting a camera on a flying platform like the Dji Phantom 2 quad copter, one have no such restrictions, and it's possible to take images from almost unlimited new and previous impossible perspectives.
Added a new essay about the making of "Tsegi Overlook". You can find the essay here.
I attended the Page Fine Art Photography Summit with Alain Briot and guest speaker Jeff Schewe in November 2013, and had the opportunity to photograph for several days in Page, and on the workshop following the summit, one of the places we visited was Canyon De Chelly near Chinlee in Arizona. The image "Tsegi Overlook at Dawn" was taken before sunrise one morning, and I will show you how I worked on that image back in the studio.
A page with some of my images fra a workshop in Arizona with Alain Briot and Jeff Schewe is now published here.
Added a new essay about photographing The Watchman in Zion. You can find the essay here.
Some locations and landscapes is photographed more often than others. And few sights are more photographed than The Watchman as seen from the Virgin river bridge in Zion National Park, Utah. But what few people know is that there is 3 more bridges along the Pa'rus Trail that is almost as easy to get to, and that also have a great view of The Watchman with the Virgin river as a lead in element. In addition there is a field along the Pa'rus Trail that also have a great view of The Watchman.

Q: RandomizedSearchCV does not work in a Pipeline when evaluating alternative classifiers In Scikit Learn, RandomizedSearchCV can work for evaluating different parameters in a pipeline, but only in some cases where the classifiers share similar/same parameters.  When you pass blocks of parameters for different classifiers it fails when GridSearchCV succeeds.
You will notice in the code below, the problem setup is the same for gridsearch and random search but only random search fails.
numpy.random.seed(52)
MY_RAND_SEED=numpy.random.seed(52)

pipe = Pipeline([
    ('imputer', SimpleImputer(strategy='median')),
    ('scaler' , StandardScaler()),
    ('classify', LogisticRegression())
])

X, y = make_classification(n_samples= 500, n_features=58, n_redundant=13, n_informative=7, n_clusters_per_class=2)

param_grid_linear = [
    {'classify' : [LogisticRegression(),],
     'classify__penalty' : ['l1', 'l2'],
     'classify__C' : numpy.logspace(-4, 4, 50),
     'classify__solver' : ['liblinear']},
    {'classify' : [LogisticRegression(),],
     'classify__penalty' : ['l2'],
     'classify__C' : numpy.logspace(-4, 4, 50),
     'classify__solver' : ['lbfgs']},
    {'classify': [SVC(),],
     'classify__kernel': ['linear',],
     'classify__C': numpy.linspace(0.001,200, 10),},
]

innercv=StratifiedKFold(n_splits=5, shuffle=True, random_state=numpy.random.seed(52))
gridA = GridSearchCV(pipe, param_grid_linear, scoring='accuracy', iid=False, verbose=1, n_jobs=12)
gridA.fit(X, y)
print("finished grid search")

gridB = RandomizedSearchCV(pipe, param_grid_linear, scoring='accuracy', n_iter=5, iid=False, verbose=1, n_jobs=12)
gridB.fit(X, y)

A: Apparently, usually one passes only lists of dictionaries as parameters {dict, dict, dict}, but to do what I suggested above requires passing a list of lists of dictionaries, which is currently only accepted by GridSearchCV.
RandomizedSearchCV does not accept this now but will in a future release of sklearn.  Here is a response I received on GitHub:

Trooper Zachariah Templeton succumbed to injures sustained the previous day when he was struck by a vehicle.
Trooper Templeton and another trooper had stopped in the median of I-76, near 96th Avenue in Commerce City, to help a man re-load two plastic farm chemical tanks that had fallen off a trailer. As they were loading the containers, a vehicle heading east left the roadway and struck both troopers.
They were both taken to Denver Health Medical Center where Trooper Templeton succumbed to his injuries the following day. The other trooper suffered serious injuries.
The driver was sentenced to two years probation after pleading down to a charge of careless driving resulting in death.
Trooper Templeton had served with the Colorado State Patrol for four years and was assigned to the 1D Troop in Adams County. He is survived by his 3-year-old daughter.
Zach, its hard to believe ten years have gone by. I will always cherish the moments we shared together. We all miss you. Sleep well, you earned it.
