KOLD UNVEILS HD STUDIO
It didn't take long for Raycom-owned KOLD Channel 13 to construct its high-definition studio for local news broadcasts: The
CBS affiliate finished the new digs in just a couple of weeks.
In addition to studio improvements, the KOLD upgrade includes enhanced weather graphics that KOLD general manager Debbie Bush promises will better display patterns that affect specific neighborhoods. KOLD has also upgraded its camera equipment to broadcast in the HD 16-by-9 format.
"This is a big investment in our equipment, and will bring our audience the best viewing experience available combined with our dedication to keeping them informed," said KOLD news director Michelle Germano.
KOLD is the second station in the market to upgrade its studio to HD. KVOA Channel 4 made the transition in 2007 (mistakenly reported as 2008 in a Media Watch a few weeks ago). KGUN Channel 9 is scheduled to complete the move by year's end. KMSB Channel 11 is in the process of a studio upgrade as well for its new local morning news offering, which is set to hit the airwaves this fall.
KOLD has also announced it will add a half-hour to its morning news programming. As of Sept. 20, KOLD News 13 This Morning will begin at 4:30 a.m. and run until 7.
"We believe this will better meet the needs of our audience. It's a growing time period," said Bush in a press release. "More and more people are getting up early and searching for more information."
KVOA and KGUN provide similar morning offerings from 5 to 7 a.m. before joining network fare. KMSB plans to produce a four-hour local morning show.
HOWELL GIVES FITNESS MAG A SECOND SHOT
Tucson MOVE magazine hopes to make a splash when it debuts in October. The glossy publication will reportedly get a distribution of 80,000, with much of that in schools throughout town.
Lucy Howell published the short-lived Tucson SPORT magazine, which focused on athletic accomplishments and fitness-related functions for school-age children. MOVE has many of the same goals, but hopes to expand the concept a bit more.
"It's a full-color, high-gloss magazine, six times a year with a target audience of third through eighth grade regarding issues in sports, recreation, family and life. Art, sports and sciences will be the key drivers of the editorial mission," Howell said.
"If you look at the national education model, it's moving toward sports, arts and science. When we had the sports magazine, 80 percent of kids K-8 were involved in some kind of sport: AYSO, Little League, cheerleading, dance. ... But there was some resistance from non-sports people like librarians and counselors to that title: 'Why would I open that? It's called SPORT.' This is very broad-based. It covers a physical and social movement level toward healthier living, public policy and public health."
Howell returned to banking once Tucson SPORT went south. In January, she formed a company in Athens, Ga., to build upon the MOVE concept, with eyes on a publication model that operates in a number of communities. Tucson is the launching pad.
"The CEO on the project has magazine-franchising experience for the largest franchiser in the country," Howell said. "I'm working with ... (numerous) global, national, and local community leaders, from the public, private and non-profit sectors to prove a model for healthy community living and educational enrichment. It's pretty significant the team we've compiled to put Tucson to the test, so we'd better step up."
Launching projects in Pima County can be daunting. Southern Arizona does not always answer the bell when it comes to supporting entrepreneurial enterprises. However, Howell notes that Pima County has received good marks for health initiatives and hopes to parlay that mentality into success with the magazine model.
"In April, Pima County, alongside Activate Tucson, was awarded a $15.8 million (obesity-prevention) grant from the CCPW, Communities Putting Prevention to Work. We're one of 10 communities in the country that received a grant of this size. Of the nine markets that received a million dollars or more, all are much larger markets—New York, Boston, Chicago. We were granted the largest per-capita grant in the country based on the progressiveness and collaboration of public health issues and initiatives in Pima County," Howell said. "Nobody gives Pima County credit for any of that stuff. The writers of that grant are the same writers of Tucson SPORT. Now, we're not just going to do what we did (before) ... Even though it's very tough, and people are cynical of my pulling this whole thing together, I have a key sponsor on board, and we're looking to preview the first week in October. If anyone wants to talk education enrichment, here's a perfect opportunity. This is how we can help our schools shine. It's up to us to step up and do it or not."
MOUNTAIN CHARITY EVENT RAISES $223K
KWMT FM 92.9's annual charity fundraiser brought in $223,000 for the Tucson Medical Center's Children's Miracle Network. The event covered a three-day period from Aug. 25-27 with live broadcasts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
"Over the past seven years, our work with TMC and the Children's Miracle Network has become some of the most important and gratifying work we do," said Clear Channel Tucson operations manager Tim Richards in a press release.
In its eight years, the Mountain of Miracles radiothon has raised close to $2 million, with all proceeds remaining in Tucson.
Also, a quick correction: In last week's Media Watch, I had a bit of a radio flashback and mistakenly ID'd The Mountain's call letters as KWFM. That was the old 92.9 FM; the new call letters are KWMT. KWFM has long since switched to 1450 AM. Both are owned by Clear Channel.

Jordan operators barred from sending promo SMSs
TRA warns that legal action will be taken against any company found violating the new directive
By Vineetha Menon Published February 13, 2009
Jordan's Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) has banned all four mobile operators in the Kingdom from sending promotional bulk SMS messages to its subscribers.
TRC chief commissioner and CEO Ahmad Hiyasat said the decision was made in response to an increasing number of complaints from subscribers, according to state daily Jordan Times.
Under the new directive, operators Zain Jordan, Orange, XPress Telecommunications and Umniah will not be allowed to send promotional text messages to any customer without prior approval.
Additionally, all four operators are now required to provide customers with a free and simple solution to reject unwanted messages.
The TRC also warned that legal action would be taken against any company found flouting the rule.
Spam text messages have been a topic of concern for mobile subscribers across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates where a recent surge in raffle scams has hit Etisalat customers.


There are several benefits of taking online excel classes. The first benefit is flexibility. This is because the training is going to be all done online. Therefore, you will be able to learn all of the aspects of Excel on your own pace. You will also be able to learn these things in the comfort of your home or whatever you have access to the Internet.
The second benefit is that you can quickly learn everything that you need to know about Excel. This is because you are not going to have any requirements when it comes to completing the online class. Since you are going to be taking the class online, most people are going to learn about Excel from home. This means that you are not going to have to worry about ever being late for your class when you get stuck in traffic or something else happens. This is not time for the classes, you have access to them whenever it is convenient to you.
The third benefit is that the online Excel classes are going to be cheaper than if you had to go to a physical class to learn Excel. This is about the course is not going be all about e-learning instead of the topical tangible learning experience with a physical class. There are a lot of costs involved with having a class in a face to face environment compared to an online class.
The fourth benefit is that the online class is going to be very good for the environment. This means that it is going to help you to reduce your carbon footprint on the world. This is 90% less energy used when a person does the online classes instead of going to physical classes. This is because the person does not have to physically drive to a class on a regular basis. Therefore, all of the gases from the car are not going to be filling up the air.
The fifth benefit is that the classes are going to be tailored to you. This means that if you already have some knowledge of Excel, there is no need to learn certain aspects of Excel again. Therefore, you do not have to sit through a class about stuff that you already know. Instead you only have to learn the things about Excel that you need to know. It is as simple as skipping to the next module when you are confident that you know the information.
The last benefit is that the information that you are going to be learning in the online Excel classes are constantly going to be updated. This means that the course content will always be about the information that you need to know. The updates are going to be done in real time. This is so that the people can give feedback on the information that they are going to be learning.
These are the top six benefits of taking some of the Excel classes that are available to anyone who wants to learn online.

A Crash Course in Printed Log Designs | by Paul Ziino – WELCOME TO OUR INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT!
We are asked often how to edit or create a printed log design. Today we present a crash course in Printed Log Designs.
For starters, go to Dataset/Schedule/Print Logs. For testing purposes, make sure you select a few valid hours—hours that have been scheduled—at the top of the Schedule Print screen. To create a new design, click the "New" button.
An empty Log Designer page will appear. It is broken into three main sections: Fields Toolbox, the design itself and the Properties Toolbox. Basically, you'll drag fields from the Fields Toolbox into the design then tweak it in the Properties.
The center of the Log Designer page is where you build the print design. It is broken down into sections: PageHeader, HourHeader, Music, Non-Music, Fill Song, LogNote, Stopset, Traffic, Spot, Unscheduled, HourFooter, and PageFooter. By clicking on one of these sections, the Fields Toolbox will update with the fields available in the selected section.
Let's start by building our Music design. Click on the Music header in the design. All the available fields will appear in the Fields Toolbox. For our basic design, we'll drag in the following fields: Artist, Title, Run Time, and Air Time. You'll find most of these items alphabetically, except Air Time which you'll find toward the end of the list under the header of "Schedule".
Now click on Artist within the Music section. It will have 8 blue dots surrounding it. Click and drag the perimeter of the box so that it is sized as you'd like. Then in the Properties Toolbox, change CanGrow to "True". This will allow the field to get bigger if the artist's name doesn't fit in the allocated space. Do the same for Title. A good starting point is approximately two inches for each of these fields. Run Time and Air Time should fit within the default space when dropped into your design page, and shouldn't need any Properties adjusted.
You will want to go through similar steps to build a Non-Music design if you have Non-Music categories that you'd like to print on your paper log. It might be a good idea to select a different font, size, or italics for the Non-Music fields, that way they can be easily differentiated from the Music items in your printout.
PageHeader will print at the start of every page whereas HourHeader will print at the start of each new hour. When you click on PageHeader the Fields Toolbox will update with the fields available to print in this section. It's wise to include your Dataset Logo (the name of your database as established in Tools/Options/Dataset Identification) and Description (date and hour being printed on that page). You can size these fields just like you did in the Music and Non-Music sections. In our example, we've finished building the Music and Non-Music designs, italicizing the Non-Music fields and using a different font. We've set up the PageHeader with Dataset Logo as a bold 12 point font, left justified. Description is also a bold 12 point font but is right justified.
If you use LogNotes in your clocks and wish for them to print, set up the design accordingly. Stopset design is for those LogNotes you've indicated are Sweep Markers in your clocks. If you use Traffic Merges in your clocks, set up a design for them and if you import commercials into your log you can print those as well in the Spot section. For all of those sections it is easiest to print the Description field which is the text of your lognote or stopset/sweep marker, the phrase Traffic Merge and the merge times of that item, and the Spot Title and Spot ID for your commercials in the Spot section.
Should you desire to print something in place of Unscheduled positions in your log, you can set up the design for that, too. If you use the Description field, you'll see the text as it would appear in your log for the unscheduled item, something similar to "Unscheduled Fixed: A – Powers".
And if you'd like the page number, you can add that to the PageFooter or PageHeader section.
In our example below, we've used the Description field for each of LogNote, Stopset, Traffic, Spot, and Unscheduled. Note how we've placed the items in different columns within the design and adjusted the font size and made traffic and spots bold. This way these items will be easily differentiated from the rest of the log. We're not printing anything in HourHeader, FillSong, HourFooter or PageFooter.
When you have your design set up as you'd like, click the Save icon (looks like a floppy disk) and give the design a name…make sure to save it as a New design, otherwise you'll potentially overwrite another design. Now you can test it out by clicking the Print button at the top of the screen. Here's what our design looks like on paper.
Should you need to tweak your design, just Exit the Report Viewer and make adjustments in the Log Designer. Then click Print and check out the results.


Aggravated assault in Florida is an assault where the defendant used a deadly weapon but did not have an intention to kill their victim or is an assault where the defendant intended to commit a felony. Assault comprises one element of the crime and is defined as an intentional and unlawful threat by words or actions to perform a violent act upon the person of another. This threat must be coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and there must be present some act that creates a well-founded fear in another person that the violence is imminent. An aggravated assault will always be considered a crime of violence and can not only result in prison or jail time for an individual charged, but the after effects can haunt an individual for the rest of their life should it go on their record. Tampa aggravated assault attorney Jason Mayberry has long counseled our clients that if one is charged with a violent crime, it is imperative that they do all they can to avoid it form going on their record. Our criminal lawyers have handled all kinds of violent criminal allegations and have enjoyed a great amount of success helping our clients to avoid the scarlet letter on their record a crime of this nature provides. If you've been charged with this type of crime contact our office and put our expertise to work.
As serious as this kind of allegation is, depending on the classification of the "deadly weapon" element of this crime, a person can face significant sentencing enhancements including minimum mandatory prison terms even if they merely possess a firearm or destructive device pursuant to Florida Statute 775.087. If during an aggravated assault a defendant possessed a firearm or destructive device they will face a 3 year minimum mandatory prison term. If that firearm is discharged, the minimum mandatory prison term rises to 25 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. If that firearm possessed in the act of an aggravated assault is a semiautomatic firearm the minimum mandatory prison term is 20 years and if that semiautomatic firearm is discharged the minimum mandatory prison term is 25 years. Troubling as it is, the only way to deviate below a mandatory minimum sentence is through the decision of the State Attorney pursuant to Florida Statute 27.366 as sentencing departures under Florida Statute 921.0026 are not available. Similar to many Federal charges, the Judge assigned to your case has no power to deviate below the minimum mandatory. If he does, the sentence will be reversed and the minimum mandatory applied, should the Prosecutor appeal the original sentence.
Violent crimes will haunt an individual for the rest of their life should it go on their record. Employers, lenders, and renters all tend to shy away from those considered violent and if that violence is centered around a firearm it can make life extremely difficult. Our criminal attorneys in Tampa specialize in helping our clients avoid their violent crimes becoming a permanent part of their criminal record. Whether it's through mounting a self defense argument to earn your acquittal at trial, convincing the prosecutor to cease to move forward on this kind of charge, or ultimately earning your charge reduction or the avoidance of a minimum mandatory prison term, our success is proven. Our hard work is guaranteed. If you're facing a Tampa aggravated assault charge, contact our office today at 813-444-7435 for a free consultation.


People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes are no exception to this and these are both excellent ways to be more active and take better control of blood sugar levels. However, people with diabetes do need to take a little more care and unfortunately, we have found that some people with diabetes are not aware that they need to take the extra care of their feet.
To try to reduce the risks of foot damage and amputations, the InDependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) has published a FREE booklet called 'Diabetes – Looking After Your Feet'.
A more active life in the spring can also mean a change in eating habits, so our booklet, 'Diabetes – Everyday Eating', which contains 28 days of menus of everyday, affordable meals and much more, is also useful to help people manage their diabetes.

Elevated Neopterin Levels in Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Further Evidence of Immune Activation
Shalini Bansil, MD; Francis A. Mithen, MD, PhD; Bhim S. Singhal, MD, FRCP; et al Stuart D. Cook, MD; Christine Rohowsky-Kochan, PhD
From the Department of Neurosciences, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, Newark (Drs Bansil, Cook, and Rohowsky-Kochan); the Department of Veterans Affairs, John Cochran Medical Center, St Louis, Mo (Dr Mithen); St Louis University, School of Medicine (Dr Mithen); the Department of Neurology, Bombay (India) Hospital (Dr Singhal); and the Neurology Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, East Orange, NJ (Dr Cook).
• Neopterin is a by-product of guanosine triphosphate metabolism and is produced by macrophages in response to lymphocytic activation. We have studied serum neopterin levels in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome to obtain further evidence of immune activation in this disease. Serum neopterin levels were significantly elevated in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome compared with patients with other peripheral neuropathies and multiple sclerosis and with healthy control subjects. Serial analysis demonstrated that as neopterin levels fell, the clinical status of the patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome improved and soluble interleukin 2 receptor levels dropped. Thus, lymphocytic and macrophage activation may play a role in the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Lastly, this omega-6 oil is shown to raise metabolic rate. Your body burns much more calories throughout the day without you having to do anything aside from taking a simple pill.
Numerous researches have actually been carried out to establish the effectiveness of CLA safflower oil when it concerns fat burning.

Outside of liposuction surgery, there is no other way to decrease body fat than the 3 techniques from above, and CLA Safflower Oil achieves all three.
It's very easy to get confused when CLA Safflower Oil is referred to as a fatty acid. Consuming nutritional fat is not what makes a person gain fat. You could eat just protein and still gain fat. The reason a person puts on weight or gains fat is that they are taking in more calories than their body can burn.
Nevertheless, foods high in fat are additionally high in calories, which is why they are to be taken in sparingly. But that does not indicate they are to be avoided. Fats are vital to practically every bodily function, and also much of them are actually useful for weight management.
CLA Safflower Oil has a superb safety profile, however there are a couple of things to watch out for.

CLA is a mixture of around 28 positional and geometric isomers of the linoleic acid which is an essential omega-6 fatty acid. CLA is primarily discovered in dairy products and meat items. CLA is recognized to minimize the total body mass which aids in the reduction of BMI. It likewise aids in maintaining insulin levels in the body.
Safflower oil, on the various other hand, is extracted from the safflower plant. The oil is mainly used for cooking objectives. The oil is drawn from the seeds of the safflower plant. Safflower is usually an excellent weight-loss supplement if you are only thinking about getting rid of the abdominal} fat, but CLA impacts your total body mass. To be effective, the oil needs} to have high quantities of CLA and so CLA must be acquired and also refined.
Despite the fact that CLA safflower oil appears to be the most effective option for managing weight, it features different drawbacks connected with careless or excessive intake of the oil.

This is the primary reason why a lot of the supplements have the asterisk (*) indicator beside their daily value.
Generally, if you are a healthy individual, the one to 3 grams of CLA is considered safe and also one of the most suggested dose for regular administration. However, if you choose to take in the CLA in its natural form as your food preparation option, then make certain that you maintain your everyday dosage to at most three tbsps.
Seek advice from your medical professional prior to taking CLA safflower supplements if you're under the age of 18 years of ages and/or have a background of medical issues such as diabetic issues, blood clotting, stomach ulcers, and also high blood pressure.

Yesterday, we headed out of town with our friends, Angela and Santi. Our first stop was a Jaguar Zoo. The only way to visit the zoo is with a guide. The first animals we saw are animals that Jaguars eats, ie raccoons, hogs, monkeys, etc. We also got to see and touch a python! Holly and Greta were thrilled about this, but Maeve absolutely would not touch it - she was afraid! We also saw a couple of black bears, tigers and a lion. And then we saw the jaguars! They put on a little show for us with raw meat around the enclosure. There was a chicken hanging from a rope and the guide pulled the rope as though the chicken were a piñata. Maeve thought the jaguar jumping was pretty funny. We had a great time!

Noodles & Company Leveraging Expanded Delivery and To-Go Service Options in Response to COVID-19
March 21, 2020 · ·
Company Increases Cash Reserves
Broomfield, CO (RestaurantNews.com) Noodles & Company (NASDAQ:NDLS), known for serving classic noodle, Zoodle and Caulifloodle dishes from around the world, has announced it now offers free direct delivery through Noodles.com and the Noodles & Company app. Historically, over half of Noodles & Company's sales have been through to-go and delivery offerings, and our expanded delivery options will allow the company to leverage this strong capability during this uncertain time.

The increased borrowing was taken as a precautionary measure to provide enhanced financial flexibility considering the uncertain market conditions arising from the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic.
As previously announced, due to the current unprecedented market conditions, Noodles & Company has withdrawn its financial guidance for fiscal year 2020 and expects to provide an update on the business on its first quarter 2020 earnings call.

After successfully login into OpKey Web, select the appropriate Project in which you want to create a Model.
Click "End Tour" to proceed with the process of creating a Model file.
How to create a Model File?
After clicking on "End Tour" , you may "Click to Create New Artifact".Select Model.
The "Model" text will appear highlighted.
The fields marked with * are mandatory. Enter the Name of the Model. You can also enter the Description.Click OK.
Go to Project Workspace > Select the root Folder > Click Create New file icon > Select Model.
Right click on root folder > select Create New > select 'Model'.
A model file will be created in the root Folder of the project Workspace.
The Model window will open up displaying a blank draft model with Start and Stop nodes.
This Dockable panel gives you the details about the Model such as the name of the OpKey user who has created it, the date on which the Model was created, the name of the user who has last modified the Model and the date on which it was last modified.
You can add comments/description about the Model in the right-hand side of the Details window.
This Dockable panel reflects the details about all the changes done by user irrespective of the Model which includes Task, Field, Old Value, New Value, Time Stamp, and ByUser.
Task detail specify what activity has been performed by the user.
Field provides the name of the Data field being modified.
Old Value and New Value describes the previousand currentvalue of the Field being modified.
Time Stamp denotes the Dateand Timeon which the field was modified.
By User indicates the name of the user who has performed the task.
The Report Name is auto populated with the default Value.The Fields "From Date" and "To Date" is to define the duration for which the records are required. You can Just select the "From Date" and "To Date" values from the calendar control. Clicking on "Export" will export the details of the Audit Trails to an Excel file.
Tags are key-value combination added in the tags panel that allows the user to provide any important detail/information related to the Model.
For example, the browser or environment on which the artifact has been created. A user can add as many number of tags as possible in a particular component file.
Click on the Add Icon. A blank row will get added having a Key Name as "NewTag-1" and Value as "Value-1" by default. The Key and Value fields are editable and can be updated as per the requirements of the OpKey User.
Nodes are the building blocks of a Model. They are also referred as Vertices.
One Node is connected to another with the help of connectors called Edges. An edge is drawn as an arrow directed from the Current Test Step to the next Test Step.
Let's have a look at the Model window having a Blank model with just Start and Stop nodes in it.
How to create a Model?
There are two Approaches to create a Model in OpKey.
The Drag and Drop approach is the easiest, fastest and most appropriate method to create a Model. Also you need to do is -Go to the Add Existing Node window placed at the right hand side of the Model window.
Add Existing Node window consists of all the Pre-built Components in OpKey. Select the appropriate Folder from which you wish to Drag and Drop the Components.
Expand the Function Library tree till you reach the smallest unit from where no further Expansion is possible.
You can also Search for a specific Function Library or Selected Step or Folder by typing their name in the Search bar and clicking on the search icon. Refresh icon allows to refresh and update all the pre-built components.
Now, Just Drag and Drop the Appropriate pre-built component from the Add Existing Node window to the Draft Model.
Once done, Select the Start node and drag the Connecting Edge to the other vertex. In this way, you can easily connect the two Vertices.
Similarly, you can add more vertices to the model and connect them via. edges to complete the Model.
The process of Manually creating a Model is easy but quite lengthy. Here , You need to go to Add New Node window placed at the right hand side of the Model window.
Now, drag a blank vertex in to the draft model.
You can enter the Action in the Vertex say : Go to the Salesforce Application.Now, Select the Start node and drag the Connecting Edge to the other vertex. In this way, you can easily connect the two Vertices.
The Vertices are usually used to represent the "Verification Process". The Edges can also be used to represent the "User's Action" in the Model.
How to Link the Vertices & edges to the Function Libraries?
The Edges and Vertices of the Model can be Linked to the Function Libraries by any of the following method.
Select the Edge or the Vertex to which you wish to associate/Link the Function Library.
Copy : Copies the Selected Edge/Vertex.
Paste: Pastes the Copied Edge/Vertex.
Open in New Tab : Open the Selected Edge/Vertex in a new window.
Link Function Library: Opens up a pop up window to associate the Selected Edge/Vertex to the Function Library.
Unlink Function Library: Used to Unlink the Selected Edge/Vertex from the Function Library, if previously associated.
Delete : Used to delete the Selected Edge/Vertex from the Model.
Select Link Function Library .
Method 2 :Click on the "Create all Component" icon.
Go to the Add New Node Window > Click Create all Component icon.
Getting Familiar with the Buttons of the Vertex/Edge Associator window.
Search icon allows you to Search for a specific Folder/Function Library.
You can select an appropriate folder and click on Create button to create a blank FL and that created FL will automatically get linked to the Selected Vertex/Edge.
Here, you also have an option to expand the Function Library Tree and select the appropriate Function Library which you wish to link to the Selected Vertex/Edge. The Select button will get enabled. Click it to associate the Function Library with the Selected Vertex/Edge.
Click on Cancel button, if you do not want to associate any Function Library to the Selected Vertex/Edge.
If you have created the Model only with the pre-built components in OpKey, then you have the option to skip associating the Function Libraries with the Vertices/Edges of the Model.
How to create Test cases from the Model?
Well, creating a complete model might seems to be a little time taking or complicated process but OpKey will prove its worth by creating a number of Test Cases, all just by a single click.
Oh yes, you heard it correctly, you can have either the complete coverage or the Edge Coverage or the Vertex coverage of the Model, all by a single click.
Before Generating the Test Cases from the Model, it is mandatory to download and run the MBT Utility on your system.
The MBT Utility will get downloaded on your system in the Zip file. Extract the files on a specific location on your system.
Double click on the highlighted file with the .bat extension. The following window will get open and the MBT Utility will start running on your system.
Now, to generate the Test cases, Click on the Publish Model.
"Edge Coverage" is the value selected by default in the dropdown. You may also select either "Vertex Coverage" or "All" from the dropdown.
Let's Select "All" from the dropdown and Click on Analyse/Publish Button.
The Analyze Model window will open up and the compilation process will begin.
The Published Model : The model that has been created and published previously.
The Draft Model : The Recently created model after modifying the published Model.
New Test Case(s) : The Test case(s) that has been compiled will be generated after publishing.
The Impacted Test Case(s) :The Test case(s) that has changed due to the newly created Test Cases.
The Unchanged Test Case(s) :The Test case(s) that has not been changed due to the newly created Test Cases.
Now, to generate the Test Cases, click on Publish. The Test case Associator window will get open.
Click on the "Create New" Folder icon to create a New Folder. Let the Newly created Folder remain selected so as to save all the Test Cases that will be generated after publishing.
The Process of creating Test Cases will begin and the progress status will be continuously displayed in the status bar. Once it is completed, you may close the"creating Test Case" window by clicking on the Close button.
All the generated Test Cases can be viewed in the Specified folder of the Project Workspace where you have saved them.
Now, you may modify the Draft Model and adding some Test steps in to it and then associate it with the Function Library.Click Save to save the changes made in the model.
Click on the Show Difference icon in the Publish Model window to view and compare the two models side by side.
It can be clearly seen that the New Vertex/Edge, Deleted Vertex/Edge and Unchanged Vertex/Edge are denoted by different colors in the show difference window.
Now, You may generate the Test Cases for the newly created Draft Model in a similar manner as done for the Published Model.
Once the Test Cases for the newly created Draft Model are generated, you can have the impact analysis of the models by viewing the list of Impacted Test Cases and Unchanged Test Cases.
Wow, we have generated a number of Test Cases with 100% coverage of the Application by just a Single Click.
So, what are you waiting for? Start Creating your Model Now..
Enter all the mandatory fields and Click on Finish.
The Execution will begin and the logs will get generated.
You may download the reports as per the requirements.
Congratulations! You have successfully created and Executed a Model in OpKey.


What if I told you that you could grow your own salad (or, at the very least, a leafy base of arugula) inside the comforts of your kitchen? It's true, you can! Usually when it comes to indoor gardening, people tend to think of herbs or, well, just succulents. But it's actually super easy to grow arugula on your windowsill.
A member of the Brassicaceae or mustard family, arugula is considered a cold-weather crop and does well in the cooler temperatures of early spring and fall. People often ask me why their arugula didn't do well; more often than not, it's because they waited to long to sow seeds and the weather was already too warm. If it's already hot where you are, consider bookmarking this story and revisiting it in the fall.
Arugula excels in north-facing windows — a rare trait for a house plant. The cooler temps keep arugula from bolting or going to seed. In the winter, move the container to sunnier spot in a south-facing window, but be sure to keep planters away from heat sources which will dry out the soil and stress the plant.
If given the room, arugula plants can grow to well over two feet. In a small container, however, the leaves grow to the perfect size for salad. I like to use a long, narrow planter for growing arugula. This type of container fits perfectly on a windowsill or ledge and does well for any shallow-rooted salad green.
Arugula does not need deep soil to grow, although the deeper the soil the larger the leaf. If you have a container that is at least four inches deep, that will work and produce baby arugula leaves — the same size you usually find in bagged salad bags at the grocery.
Sow (plant!) arugula seeds in the top layer of potting soil starting as early as February and all through early summer. Again, if it's pretty hot where you are, hold off until late August, September, or October. If you're using starts (mini plants that have already been started for you), transplant them into the pot, leaving about one inch between each plant.
Fun tip: With arugula, I like to use seeds and starts, sprinkling the seeds on the top layer of the potting soil around each plant start. (See the photo above.) This fills in the gaps and ensures a continuous harvest. If you want to impress your friends, this is technically called succession planting.
Each arugula seed produces one thin stem, which leaves grow out from. You can further your crop by cutting them back — the leaves will regenerate once or twice before getting too spicy, woody, or bitter.
To harvest, cut arugula at the base of each leaf off the main stem. You can decide for yourself when the leaf is big enough. For a mellow, spicy flavor and a tender green, harvest when the leaves are young — about three to four inches. If you prefer a stronger flavor and a thicker, crunchier stem, allow them to grow to five to six inches and cut the entire stem at its base. Arugula will grow back once cut, so don't pull the stems.
Remember, arugula bolts (goes to flower) quickly in the heat. If this happens, strip the stem of its leaves and use both the leaves and flowers in your salads. The stems can be chopped and used to make a pesto.
Arugula is an annual plant and will need to be planted year after year, which means you'll get plenty of practice at least!

Four Young People in Crash 'Touched Many Lives'
Posted by Brian Williams | Jul 9, 2020
Car crash on June 29 outside of Templeton, kills four local youths
The four young people who died in a car crash outside of Templeton on June 29 were friends "who touched many lives."
At approximately 9:23 p.m. June 29, Kegin Dakota York, 22, of Creston, according to the California High Patrol, was driving his 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan too fast on the backroads east of Templeton and lost control. The car left Neal Spring Road and slammed into an old oak tree, killing Kegin and his three friends in the car — Shelby Lynn Biaggini, 23, Taylan Elaine Perez, 22, and Karen Montes-Cabrera, 21.
Kegin and Shelby worked together for a short time at 15 degrees C Wine Shop and Bar in Templeton.
"Kegin and Shelby were extremely friendly, outgoing, happy people who touched many lives," said 15 degrees C owner Ali Carscaden. "They were a joy to have at work and quickly became friends with everyone.
"The weight of their passing is something that affected the entire staff, as well as customers," she added.
Kegin York
Shelby Biaggini
Karen Montes-Cabrera
Taylan Perez
Kegin worked at 15 degrees C for the past year, while Shelby started there in 2020 after moving back to North County from Bend, Ore.
Carscaden said Kegin loved children and animals.
"Whenever my son was here, he would play with him and encourage him to do tricks on his bike and scooter," Carscaden said. "Kegin's middle name is Dakota and my dog's name is Dakota. He would always play with her and ask if he could take her to the park for a walk."
Shelby and Karen worked together at Joebella Coffee Roasters of Atascadero. They were scheduled to work Tuesday, June 30, said owner Joseph Gerardis.
Karen, of Paso Robles, started working at Joebella when she was 18. She quickly became a popular barista.
"She was the barista that was the shining star," Gerardis said. "Everybody liked her. She was really steady. Her big thing was being positive and she wanted people to have a positive experience. She tried to brighten people's lives each day."
Earlier this year, Karen talked with Gerardis about wanting to work on a farm in a foreign country.
"She showed me her plans," Gerardis said. "She was going to work on a farm in Spain and was planning to leave in April, but COVID hit and she had to put that on hold."
With her plan stalled by COVID-19, Karen was going to work the upcoming wine harvest for Niner Wine Estates, said Gerardis.
Shelby was a relative newcomer to Joebella and was blossoming as a barista.
"She grew into the role of a barista. She was a little shy at first," Gerardis said. "She was for lack of a better word, a real spitfire, a go-getter. She had initiative. She was willing to take things on.
"We definitely had great plans for her," he added.
Taylan, of Paso Robles, had big plans for the future, said sister Cameron Ayala-Perez.
"She had a love for wine and adventure, which she combined the two earlier this year and traveled to New Zealand to work abroad at a winery," Ayala-Perez said. "She made friends wherever she went and always surrounded herself with those that made her laugh."
Her sister said Taylan was a "free soul," who had a knack for making people laugh.
"She was kind-hearted, courageous, spontaneous, and cared for others like no other," Ayala-Perez said. "Her presence would change your mood and put the biggest smile on your face. She would make us laugh with her goofy personality. Taylan taught everyone to be yourself and to not take notice of what others thought of you."
Family and friends have come together to offer support, both financially and emotionally, since the accident occurred. "Go Fund Me" accounts for each of them has raised almost a hundred thousand dollars for their families, all donated by our community members.
As one community member shared, "This is why our community never ceases to amaze me, so much love in a time of crisis. This is such a tragedy for the four families who lost a child last night, two of whom worked at one of our favorite Main St. businesses. Amazing to see everyone come together to help them through this unimaginable time."
Memorial services are scheduled individually, starting this week.
If you would like to share some of your memories of Kegin, Shelby, Karen, or Taylan, you can write a letter to the editor and email it to us at editor@13starsmedia.com.

We're pleased to introduce London-based 5-piece, Sleepovers with their single release, 'I Am Me And You Are You'.

Sleepovers have a wide range of influences but sway to indie, lo-fi, and Brit-pop genres and have been described as having a sound that crosses between Mac Demarco and Blur.
'I Am Me & You Are You' is a great first single from Sleepovers keeping true to indie lo-fi sounds with it's reverb drenched melodies and day dreamy laid back vibe but adds a touch of Brit-pop with it's catchy lyric hooks and strong out in front Brit-styled vocals. The track has lyrics that reminisce of the days with a special lady which seem to be a prominent subject in their lyric writing. 'I Am Me & You Are You' is available to stream and download through Sleepovers Soundcloud page.
Sleepovers most recent track 'I Wanna Be In L.A.' carries over much of the same instrumental qualities of their first release with reverb heavy guitar sounds and steady post punk style drum and bass. The lyrics are clever while also referencing the companionship of a women as it tells of how a girl and him want to get out of town and go to L.A. The latest release by Sleepovers, 'I Wanna Be In L.A.' Is also available to stream and download on the bands Soundcloud page.

Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl Announce They Won't Run In Next Election
14 Mar 2011 Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl Announce They Won't Run In Next Election
Posted at 15:58h in Blog	0 Comments
What follows ar e letters from two well-know Christian cabinet ministers who have endured a lot of hardship in their service through the years. You can find their contact information here and here.
Stockwell Day, West Kelowna, BC March 12, 2011: It will be exactly 25 years ago on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, that I was honoured with my first nomination to public office. Now, after 14 years in provincial government and almost eleven years at the federal level it is time to move on. I hereby announce that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of this mandate.
Though there would be exciting and satisfying days ahead in public office, after prayerful consideration, Valorie and I feel at peace with our decision. Along with memories which I will forever cherish, I will also forever carry a debt of unrepayable gratitude to so many people;
To my wife, who more than any person on earth is responsible for each and every success I have been allowed to experience. Her unlimited inner strength, unfailing love and untold reserves of grace have seen us through the most incredible challenges and the most wonderful breakthroughs.
To our dear family members, who have been arm in arm with us every step of the way, we would have been lost without them;
To so many supporters, workers and colleagues through the years who gave so unselfishly in too many ways to mention;
To constituents in the cities and towns from two of Canada's most beautiful provinces, for their input, guidance and trust in electing me on 9 separate occasions to represent them;
And to Prime Minister Harper for allowing me the privilege to serve under his outstanding leadership. That leadership has led our nation through the most troubling economic times in over half a century.
His belief (and insistence within his caucus) that every MP must be allowed equal ground to speak up vigorously for their constituents is the foundation of decision making upon which we develop the policies for our nation.
I wish the Prime Minister full success in the days ahead in the efforts on behalf of all Canadians in maintaining a Canada that stands strong and free.
And I pledge my ongoing, whole hearted support in that shared pursuit.
"They desired a better country."
Stockwell Day, M.P.
Statement from Honourable Chuck Strahl: "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under the sun." – Ecclesiastes 3:1
The author of these words knew a thing or two about human nature. In my political career, "everything" came together to launch what still seems surreal at times – a 17 year run as the Member of Parliament for Chilliwack and the Fraser Canyon. Even the occasional difficult moments encountered along the way just added to the sense of purpose. While I am healthy, and though I still feel honoured and privileged to be a Member of Parliament, I have decided I won't be seeking re-election when Canada next goes to the polls.
When I was first elected in 1993, I was 36 years old, and all four of our children were still at home. Now they're all gone and married, and Deb and I have 10 grandchildren! We're empty nesters, with the ever-growing joy of having the kids make regular pilgrimages back to our homestead. I vowed I would leave politics one day with the one thing that mattered most when I entered into it – the love and respect of those closest to me. Thanks to Deb (mostly) and the rest of the family, that's going to happen. It's my life's greatest accomplishment.
I was elected first as a Reformer under the leadership of a great man, Preston Manning. He taught me in those early years that listening to constituents and serving the public has its own, unique rewards. It's true. People in our electoral district are often passionate about their issues and politics, and working with them has been an ongoing inspiration and motivation. Not that everyone is – or should be- always in agreement with me! Yet I will forever be grateful for their encouragement and support. They are wonderful, common-sense people.
One of the best parts of political life is the friends you make along the way. A whole new world of people we would never have met otherwise have become near and dear to us. Not just partisans, either, but interesting, thought-provoking folks from all kinds of backgrounds, religions and regions. Like the rock solid friends we've always had in our own hometown, these new friends have become an integral part of our lives. We're richer and better people for their loyal companionship.
Of course, these past few years when I've served in Stephen Harper's Cabinet have been extra special. I'll always be grateful to the Prime Minister, who went out of his way to assure me that he wanted me to be a government Minister and was confident I could do the job. He appointed me right on the heels of my serious brush with cancer, and his encouragement to me was, "Don't let people tell you that you can't still contribute – don't let them push you aside." Cancer survivors need to hear things like that, and know in their hearts that it is true. The PM's words were prophetic, in a way, and my health has never been an issue since that time.
Throughout it all, my staff have been exceptional. The work load, high expectations and public pressure on these people is enormous, but they have consistently risen to the occasion and they have all served Canada with distinction. Any good reputation I may have garnered over the years is due in large part to their efforts. The same can be said for so many of the professional civil servants I've worked with in three separate Ministries. Our country is fortunate to have these people toiling on our behalf. I feel lucky they put up with me!
In all ways, large and small, my experiences these past 17 years have reinforced the conviction that Canada is one of the most blessed countries in the world. Full of abundant natural resources and a generous, stoic people, consistently peaceful and generally prosperous, we are amongst history's most fortunate. What a great country!
I plan to stay on as a Member of Parliament and a Cabinet Minister until the next election, whenever that happens. I hold out a slim hope that it might be another year or more away, though the Opposition seems determined to force one soon. Whenever it happens, I will leave this role with mixed feelings, because I love serving our country and its people. But for everything there is a season, and I am convinced this is the right time for me and Deb to seek out the next, wonderful purpose that God has in store for us.
I know I can count on you to stay involved in the political life of Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, and in Canada. It's business as usual until the next election, and I and my staff will continue to be here to serve you until that time.

Suze la Rousse
Suze la Rousse is a village in the Drôme Provençale, situated in the region of Tricastin between the southwestern portion of the Drôme department and the northwestern Vaucluse.
Suze la Rousse is known for its famous medieval château, a military fortress remarkable in Provence for its architecture. You will also discover the village's main wealth comprised of 1600 hectares of numerous AOC grape varieties cultivated in surroundings of scrubland, lavender, truffle fields and sun.
The old village boasts many archaeological sites and the people show great willingness to bring out the town's heritage. Don't miss a tour of the Wine University housed right inside the château.
The town of Suze la Rousse, situated at the southernmost end of the Drôme, has a population of 2029 as of 2015. The people of Suze enjoy a Mediterranean-type climate: hot, sometimes stormy summers and icy winters due to the northern wind.
Spring and autumn are quite mild, but you must expect a bit of rain in autumn.
Laid out on the side of the hill called the "garenne" (rabbit warren), the living environment is very pleasurable in all seasons. Residents and tourists can enjoy the natural riches in which the village abounds.
Built in the 12th century on a rocky promontory, the Château of Suze la Rousse is listed as a historic monument. Three big Provençal families owned this gem – the counts of Orange, then the lords of Les Baux for six centuries and finally the Marchioness of Bryas who, upon her death, bequeathed the château to an association which auctioned it off in 1963. The château was then acquired by the General Council.
Over the centuries, its geographic position dominating the surrounding areas guaranteed its owners completely tranquility in the heat of a 23-hectare park called the Garenne, a reference to the pleasures of hunting in the time of the seigneurs. Moreover, it provides views that allow you to discover and admire a rich Mediterranean vegetation made up of such trees and plants as the parasol pine, downy oak, laurustinus, the Montpellier maple, holm oak…
The houses in the village were built at the foot of the château's ramparts.
The château's architecture is extraordinary; despite its imposing and dominating form, it is a harmonious mix of feudal fortress and lordly manor of the Renaissance.
Today, the château has become a castle-museum that you can visit throughout the year.
It offers a tour devoted to history and theme tours on the world of grapevines and wine.
In an exceptional state of conservation, the château still has the moats dug out in the 13th century, jeu de paume courts (tennis) dating from 1564, a chapel and a surrounding wall fortified with crenellations and machicolations. The château's interior is just as spectacular with its Italian-style courtyard with arches, listed as one of the most beautiful in France, and a 16th century monumental fireplace that holds pride of place in the formal reception room.
You can also visit the extraordinary Wine University founded in 1978 and endowed with a laboratory. You can take part in a lecture, a themed wine tasting or a wine course in an out of the ordinary setting. An ampelographical park created in 1989 and made up 9 gardens invites amateurs and professionals to discover and observe the different grape varieties.
Today, the people of Suze la Rousse pamper their village, the old houses are restored and their true merit revealed, amenities have been created, cobblestone pavements. The old church has regained its splendour thanks to the renovation work undertaken by the mayor's office.

Following an extensive testing process, EXFO has announced that its MAX-635G Gfast, DSL and copper test set has been declared a Gfast Certified Interoperable product as per Broadband Forum (BBF) IR-337.
The MAX-635G was successfully tested by the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) against the Calix AXOS E5-16F distribution point unit (DPU) which utilized the Sckipio SCK3001 Gfast chipset, and the Nokia SX-16F DPU which utilized the Broadcom BCM65246 Gfast chipset.
The Broadband Forum's IR-337 Gfast Certification demonstrates interoperability between multiple chipsets and product combinations. This program has played a significant role in understanding and improving the implementation of Gfast throughout the industry.
"The UNH-IOL is thrilled to see the list of Gfast certified devices growing since the program launch in June 2017. Certified products conform to a rigorous set of tests, ensuring the devices interoperate and provide a level of performance and stability required for service provider deployments," said Lincoln Lavoie, Senior Engineer, Broadband Technologies at UNH-IOL.
Gfast (as defined by BBF) is an ultra-fast broadband access standard for copper local loops shorter than 500 m, with aggregate data rates between 150 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s depending on several factors (i.e. loop length, physical faults, noise, etc.). Gfast deployments typically coincide with fiber-to-the-distribution-point (FTTdp) installations.

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is an exotic yet easy-to-navigate cruise destination. Singapore has long been Asia's crown jewel, with a plethora of glitzy shopping malls, rooftop cocktail bars and fine dining opportunities. It's modern, classy and blessed with lots of sun for a day of exploring.
Things to do in Singapore:
Gardens by the Bay is a haven for nature lovers, located near the Marina Bay Waterfront in the heart of Singapore. Gardens by the Bay has hidden gems such as unique plantlife, calm gardens and unique spots to relax in, as well as its expansive conservatories.
Merlion Park
Merlion Park, named after the water-spouting Merlion statue, is an essential Singaporean landmark. The Merlion is Singapore's national symbol, with a lion's head and fish's body. The park is popular with tourists and locals alike, who come to take photos of the outstanding scenery, the famous statue and relax by the water.*
Mint Museum of Toys
The Mint museum houses a collection of the best toys from across many ages. Learn about its history and the significance of the museum to academics, artists and students on a guided tour. With so many toys to see, you'll be reliving your childhood in a wave of nostalgia.
Singapore Botanic Gardens
The Agri-Horticultural Society, in 1859, transformed plantation property into a massive botanical garden for recreational use. It has become a major element of Singapore throughout the years, to the point where it has been designated as the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Orchid Garden is a highlight, as is the ample room for jogging dining or simply relaxing.
Customer reviews for Nautica
We started our holiday in Copenhagen, where we spent 2 days prior to boarding our cruise. The hotel here was perfectly located in the city center, close to the main attractions and is highly recommended - it us the Absalon hotel. We are very impressed with the quality of the service and facilities of Oceania. We particularly enjoyed the concept of small ship (about 680 passengers) - this meant that it is never over crowded; be it in the bars, restaurants, the pool area or the theatre. You also feel the attentive service from the staff - friendly and competent. The food was one of the reasons we booked with Oceania and I feared that this might have been a bit of a marketing hype - but it is not. All restaurants, from the simple Terrace self service to the two Speciality restaurants and the Dining Room, all serve excellent food. Only one area that I would mark down; that is the size of the bathroom - it is a little tight and we had a Concierge Balcony room. On the whole, top marks for this first cruise for us with Oceania. Also and as usual, the arrangements made by Iglu; flight, transfers, hotel and cruise were perfect. Thank you Iglu.
The first time on a small ship (670) guests. This caused minor problems when using the terrace cafe when people were going on trips as there were more guests requiring seats than were available. Bad weather added to the problem as we could not sit at the outside tables. Compared with the larger ships Marina etc this ship seemed small, but had the advantage of it was quicker to get to where you needed to go. The size also meant more movement in the windy conditions. The crew were good and very friendly and the food was excellent. The ship is due for renovation as it is getting tired but was still clean. The destinations were good especially Japan and the Great Wall of China. We were suprised by the lower temperaturesthan expected so beware when travelling in March in the China sea - coats were needed.
Southampton to Stockholm with two overnights in St Petersburg was an ideal cruise and the whole experience lived up to previous cruises with Oceania. Could find no faults at all and thoroughly enjoyed every moment apart from being reminded that many Americans do not understand queueing.
