With the festive season right around the corner, it's time to spend some quality time with those closest to you. Braais, movie nights and beer tasting parties. That's right, not wine tasting, beer tasting. If this is the first time you've heard about it, don't worry, by the end of this you'll know exactly what they're all about!
Denis da Silva, SAB Trade Brewer at Newlands Brewery in Cape Town believes that beer is more versatile than wine because "beer is food". Beer has many different characteristics thanks to its varied ingredients, with hundreds of malted barley varieties, yeast strains and hops.
Once you have the number of guests that you are catering for, you'll know the number of beers you need to purchase (and food to accompany).
TIP: Da Silva suggests a six-pack of each of the beer types below for a party of 20 people.
gentle lingering bitterness, like Castle Lite.
from Newlands Spring Brewing Company with earthy and peppery notes.
Clean, somewhat dry, somewhat bitter, never sweet lager like Castle Lager or some roasted, caramel, toffee notes from Jacobs Pale Ale.
Rich and smooth with roasted full mouthfeel, like Castle Milk Stout or some chocolate and coca notes from Choc Stout.
Low bitterness with a distinctive fruity aroma and taste, like The Newlands Spring Co - Passionate Blond with its distinctive passion fruit aroma or Carver's Weiss & Mountain Weiss with a zesty banana aroma with hints of clove and vanilla.
There is a variety to select from – the Flying Fish range of low bitterness fruit flavoured beers (orange, lemon and apple), Castle Lite Lime or the most recently-launched Liberado, a tequila flavoured beer with fresh lemon notes.
There is a reason it's called a cold one! Make sure you serve chilled beers to optimise the tasting experience. Remember that chilling them isn't instant. Be sure to put them in the fridge at least an hour before your guests arrive and put them in an ice bucket until they are served.
In between beers, it is recommended to cleanse your palate with water.
Mix things up with a variety of glassware styles per beer style – standard/classic, snifter/goblet, tulip, flute, pilsner/ weizen or stange.
It is best to use smaller glassware in a beer tasting as you will only be pouring the beer into a third of the glass. Remember it is a taster only.
It is important not to overwhelm the pallet of your guests during your beer tasting party. Have an assortment of low flavoured foods like unsalted pretzels or crackers and raw vegetables (carrot and celery sticks).
If you really want to wow your guests, host your beer tasting with a food pairing. See some suggestions below.
TIP: Take your time serving each dish because a beer and food pairing is best enjoyed slowly.
Have fun setting up the décor for your beer tasting party. Label ice buckets with the various beers you will be tasting and give your guests a quick history about the beers you will be serving. You can even go as far as printing beer score sheets and asking your guests to score the beer tastes for themselves.
If you are into party games, you could build a blind tasting into the evening's proceedings. Away from eyeshot, pour a beer of your choice into jug and then serve to guests with the notion they need to guess what beer it is.
You can even have a prize for the correct guess – a six pack of their favourite beer or dinner on you.
TIP: Because you want your guests to drink responsibly, ensure everyone has booked a driving service to get them safely home.
Encourage discussions among your guests so they are having fun while learning about the tastes of beer.
To help you create the perfect beer and food combinations, we've given you an easy to understand SAB beer paring chart below.
Braai meats (e.g. grilled sirloin) – it is a South African tradition to drink Castle Lager at our typical braais.
Mild curry – it acts as a "semi-fire blanket" against mild curries only.
It also worked really well prepared in sorbets as a palate cleanser between dishes.
Now you have everything you need to throw the perfect beer tasting party! So send out an SMS, email or smoke signal and get together with your friends to enjoy a night to remember. But remember to never drink and drive!

New-look Flyers start season in Calgary
ROB PARENT
Oct 4, 2007 Updated Nov 9, 2018
CALGARY -- Hockey's preseason, a mundane and mandatory financial exercise for season ticket holders, is a thing of the past for another year. Ready or not, the longest of the NHL's three seasons begins for the Flyers tonight in Calgary's famed Saddledome.
It comes with a mandate of its own.
"We have something to prove to ourselves," Simon Gagne said. "Upstairs, they did what they had to do. Now it's up to us to take the challenge and really turn the page from last year. I can't wait for the season to start."
Haunted by the memories of that worst season in franchise history, the Flyers toiled through a 3-5 exhibition slate that showed freewheeling front-office spending doesn't necessarily buy you a quick turnaround. Then again, that is yet to be determined.
"I think it's getting better and better for us," said new No. 1 center Daniel Briere, the Peter Forsberg replacement who will earn $10 million in this, the first season of an eight-year, $52 million deal. "There were periods here and there where we got away from it, but overall our team improved over the course of the eight games. There was a lot of stuff thrown at the players over the first three weeks of camp."
Lesson 1: Get better everywhere. Lesson 2: The Flyers were 28th in the league in the power play last season. That's a good place to start working on Lesson 1.
With Briere snapping passes from behind the net and Kimmo Timonen orchestrating from the point, the Flyers will have a new power play approach. But they also have to kill the memories of that last, lost season.
"We wanted to make sure we put it in the back of everybody's head and say that it's in the past," said Briere, who was winning a President's Trophy in Buffalo while the Flyers explored the NHL basement. "We've got to learn from it, but we also have to move on."
They'll be following the trail set by Paul Holmgren, who found himself as the general manager after Bob Clarke retired on the same day coach Ken Hitchcock was fired. Before the spring, Holmgren ripped off four February
deals to change the shape of the team.
Forsberg went to Nashville for Scottie Upshall, defensive prospect Ryan Parent and a couple of draft picks. Then Holmgren swung three deals in four days that added defensemen Braydon Coburn and Lasse Kukkonen, and goalie Marty Biron.
After watching the playoff from afar, Holmgren sent the first-round pick Nashville had handed over in the Forsberg deal back to the Predators for pending free agents Scott Hartnell and Kimmo Timonen. And on July 1, hot free agent Briere signed on, and enigmatic Joni Pitkanen was traded to Edmonton for forward Joffrey Lupul and defensive captain Jason Smith.
The Flyers thus added speed, scoring, defensive toughness and a long-sought reliable presence in net. Along the way, they ponied up a stack of million-dollar bills to pay for new contracts. The paybacks probably won't come right away.
The Flyers still lack defensive mobility and have yet to prove all the newcomers can bond with the holdovers. Moreover, injuries are already a factor.
Upshall is out for about five weeks after breaking the navicular bone in his wrist. R.J. Umberger, out with a broken finger, likely won't play until next week. And Lupul, on the right side of center Mike Richards and rookie Denis Tolpeko, will be in the lineup tonight against the Flames despite a chip fracture in his left wrist.
Described Wednesday by Flyers athletic trainer Jim McCrossin as a "fleck fracture," it isn't expected to present much of a problem for Lupul, who declared himself ready to go.
Ditto the top two lines, with Briere bonding well with Gagne and Mike Knuble; and second-line center Jeff Carter anchoring the physical Hartnell on the left and veteran Sami Kapanen in place of Upshall on the right side.
Tolpeko, 22, a Moscow native with one Phantoms season on his resume, is here because of the aforementioned injuries, but Flyers coach John Stevens says he, "skates really well, shoots the puck well and is just a raw talent."
Also new and with a two-way (Phantoms and Flyers) contract - and only 16 years Tolpeko's senior - is fourth-line center Jim Dowd. The 38-year-old veteran from Brick, N.J., has punchy players Ben Eager, Jesse Boulerice and Riley Cote around him.
Defensively, new captain Smith will have the pleasure of working with Timonen, this team's first true point quarterback since Eric Desjardins waved goodbye.
Derian Hatcher and Coburn present a physical defensive pair, and Kukkonen will try to tutor either Randy Jones or Nate Guenin as a third pairing.
That defense will have its misadventures, which means that Biron - the former Sabres goalie who hasn't been a bonafide full-season starter since before the NHL lockout - would do well to continue a terrific preseason performance. He figures to be quite busy.
"To me, it doesn't matter whether you play 50 or 60 games, or 65 or whatever," Biron said. "You just play the games you're asked to play."
A three-game road trip against the likes of Western powers Calgary and Vancouver, with a Saturday stop at Edmonton in-between, is a daunting start for this rebuilt Flyers team. Considering where it left off, however, any place is better than that.
NOTES: Umberger will join the club this weekend and is hopeful for Wednesday against Vancouver. ... Holmgren said Mike Rathje's comeback never really got going because of a return of the painful piriformis syndrome that aborted his 2006-07 season: "As the intensity and the speed of (preseason) ramped up, I think it became clear to Mike that he was walking down the same road he walked down last year," Holmgren said.

An Operational 30 Channel 2 KM Fiber Optic Data Transmission System
Author(s): G. J. Wilhelmi; T. A. Eppes; J. R. Campbell
A 30 channel, 2 km fiber optic data transmission system has been installed in Hawaii for use in the DSCS satellite network. Data rates to 20 Mb/s with bit error rates less than 10-8 can be accommodated. Over three hundred (300) single fiber optical connectors were installed with an average loss of only 1 dB. Designed for a worst case signal-to-noise ratio (peak signal/rms noise) of 30:1, an average of 52:1 was achieved ranging from 34:1 to 66:1. Five, six fiber optical cable traversed the underground duct system. Multimode dispersions (FWHM) in the fibers ranged from 0.2 nsec/km to 4.8 nsec/km. Fiber/cable attenuations ranged from 4.8 to 7.7 dB/km at 0.85 μm.
Multiterminal Data Distribution
Author(s): Larry L. Campbell
Fiber optics can be used for several multiterminal data distribution applications. Some of these applications use fiber optic solutions that are cost-effective using presently available technology. These applications include intrafacility communications, electric power monitor and control, and railroad command control and communications. Intrafacility communications include telephone, data, video and high quality facsimile within a building or group of buildings. Electric power monitor and control includes both monitoring and controlling of power transmission between the power control center and substations as well as within the substation switch yard.
Fiber Optics For The Shipboard Data Multiplex System
Author(s): D. E. Altman; D. J. Albares
The Navy's commitment to the application of data bus technology to shipboard internal communication stems from the necessity of reducing cable congestion and weight. The Shipboard Data Multiplex System is a general purpose data bus system intended to take the place of most of the point-to-point cabling and associated hardware presently used for information transfer aboard ships of the Fleet. It uses both frequency and time multiplexing of a two-level set of redundant interconnections to provide a highly reliable data bus capable of distributing all forms of periodic and aperiodic signals. We report here a demonstration of the feasibility of substituting fiber optics for the coaxial cable presently used by this system. Primary concerns were whether the interface hardware could handle the FDM signals on the bus without excessive distortion and degradation of their signal to noise ratios. This paper describes methods used to demonstrate that the intermodulation distortion and signal-to-noise ratio requirements of the SDMS can be met by the necessary interface components.
Optical Information Systems Applications
Author(s): Michael H. Coden
The fundamental application of guided wave optical systems has been to communications. The principles and components which have been developed for guided wave optical communications systems are finding applications in a diverse number of information processing areas. This paper will review promising applications in these areas of information processing, including non-impact printing systems, high density memory systems, display systems, high-speed facsimile systems, and potential medical applications.
Fiberoptics In Medicine
Author(s): Richard M. Dwyer
Fiberoptics are utilized in medicine by fields which have classically used light for either diagnosis or treatment. The specialities that have adopted the use of lasers have included the light for treatment and diagnosis group and those who have a problem with hemostasis in their treatment regimen. Table 1 lists the specialities which utilizes the diagnostic applications of fiberoptics. The diagnostic applications can be divided into the use of coherent fiber bundles for visualization and incoherent fiber bundles for illumination. Endoscopy is the introduction of a tube containing both coherent and incoherent fiber bundles into body orifices either natural or man made. Peritonoscopy inspects the abdomen through a small incision and enables the physician to observe from the reproduction tract in the pelvis to the dome of the liver. Gastrointestinal endoscopy uses these techniques through different instruments to explore the upper tract through the mouth or the lower tract through the anus. Pulmonary endoscopy called bronchoscopy enters the respiratory tract through the mouth. Urology investigates the bladder in cystoscopy through the urethra. All these diagnostic applications can also take biopsies through these instruments for diagnoses of anatomical abnormalities visualized through the endoscopic instruments.
Laser Photocoagulation Of Blood Vessels
Author(s): Melvin S. Cook
The interaction of laser radiation with blood vessels is treated analytically using a model based on experimental data by considering the steady-state approached by the system. The factors controlling the relative performance of different lasers in closing vessels are uncovered and discussed. Carbon dioxide, Argon and Nd:YAG lasers are compared. An explanation of laser stimulated vessel wall disruption is found. Evidence suggests that coagulation is enhanced by the local presence of radiation energy. The theory shows why Argon laser radiation has a more destructive effect on the perivascular tissue than Nd:YAG laser radiation in closing vessels of the same size.
Optical Fiber Communications In Canada
Author(s): O. I. Szentesi; F. D. King
This review paper describes the status of optical fiber technology in Canada. Work on optical fiber communications started in 1972 at Bell-Northern Research and the Communications Research Centre. Since then several other industrial organizations, universities, and government organizations have contributed to the development of the technology. Work on optimized, compatible components and initial system studies have led to several experimental trial systems. These systems will be described and current results will be summarized.
Multiple Video Channel Transmission On A Single Optical Fiber
Author(s): F. W. Dabby; R. B. Chesler
Several, multi-video channel, transmission methods using optical fibers have been demonstrated. These use an LED or laser light source and can be either analog or digital. The current limitation on multiple channel analog transmission is light source linearity. Several methods of improving linearity are being developed. At the high signal levels needed for amplitude modulated multiple channel video transmission PIN diodes are the preferred receiver. At present, 12 channel, analog transmission using a laser has been achieved over a single fiber for a length of one kilometer.
Fiber-Optic Digital Video Systems For Commercial Cable TV Trunking Applications
Author(s): Whitworth W. Cotten; C. Richard Patisaul
The important design considerations for a fiber-optic television trunk line using both analog and digital approaches are given. The decision processes for selecting the approach for a given application requirement are discussed. Important link model parameters for an actual 12 channel, 8 km CATV supertrunk are shown with photographs of operating commercial hardware.
Bidirectional Coupler For Full Duplex Transmission On A Single Optical Fiber
Author(s): G. Bickel; J. Burbo; A. Nelson; R. Christian
An analysis has been made of several bi-directional coupling schemes that allow duplex transmission over a single optical fiber through the use of wavelength separation. Three basic generic types of couplers have been considered: prism, grating, and dichroic mirror. Included in the analysis is a detailed comparison with respect to throughput loss, internal crosstalk and external crosstalk rejection of two potential implementations of each generic type. The throughput loss calculation includes the effect of scattering and absorption from component surfaces and volumes, and an approximate calculation of losses due to basic diffraction limitations. A detailed crosstalk analysis based on the estimated scattering mainly from component surfaces has also been performed.
Coupling Of Multimode Fiber Structures
Author(s): C. Yeh
The key component for any fiber data bus system is the fiber coupler. Since multimode single-strand fiber is used as a communication link in a data bus system, multimode fiber couplers must be designed and used. The simultaneous presence of many modes in multimode fibers renders the powerful coupled node theory which is based on the concept of phase matching among single modes, useless in predicting the coupling length of the multimode fiber coupler. Because of the close proximity of the coupling elements, results obtained according to other perturbation techniques are also questionable. In this presentation we shall first mention the available theories and experiments on multimode couplers, then a new technique based on the computer solution of wave equations will be introduced and applied to various realistic multimode couplers made with graded-index fibers. Practical aspects of the problem will be emphasized.
Fiber Optic Rotation Sensor (FORS) Signal Detection And Processing
Author(s): Willis C. Goss; Raymond Goldstein
The recent development of low loss single mode optical fiber waveguides for light has made possible a new class of inertial reference devices built on the principal of a closed loop interferometer. Light circulating through the loop in both directions experiences a relative phase delay proportional to rotation rate about the loop axis. This paper derives the phase delay and discusses signal detection, signal processing techniques and error sources. It is concluded that synchronous modulation and demodulation and an active gain control at the signal calculational level are required to eliminate drift errors. Potential performance is extraordinarily good; rotation rate sensitivity of a few milli-arc seconds per second and angular position random walk errors of an arc second per square root hour appear feasible.
Fresnel Drag In Single-Mode Optical Fiber Waveguides
Author(s): V. Vali; R. W. Shorthill; M. F. Berg
One of the quantities to be determined in building low noise fiber ring interferometer gyroscopes is the temperature sensitivity of the dispersion term in the Fresnel drag coefficient. Some experiments have been performed to show that the Fresnel drag measurement is useable for determining the size and the temperature dependence of dispersion in single mode fibers. The limits of accuracy of such an experiment will be discussed.
A Fiber-Optic Time Domain Reflectometer
Author(s): M. A. Nelson; T. J. Davies; P. B. Lyons; J. E. Golob; L. D. Looney
An optical time domain reflectometer is described which combines in one instrument the basic capability to analyze several important fiber characteristics. The device uses the polarization properties of light to enable high sensitivity fault detection close to the fiber input end; its probe pulse temporal characteristics and high gain photodetector in combination provide excellent discontinuity location resolution in long lossy fibers, and give an indication of fiber dispersion at large bandwidths.
Fiber Optic Laser Gyro Signal Detection And Processing Technique
Author(s): J. M. Martin; J. T. Winkler
A technique using an electro-optic phase modulator has been developed to add a ±90 degree phase shift to the Sagnac interferometer gyro. The introduction of the phase shift produces maximum sensitivity at low angular rates. The modulated output of the gyro is detected and processed by a single channel ac coupled sample and hold amplifier. The amplifier output is normalized to compensate for laser output and preamplifier gain drift.
The Future Of Integrated Optics
Author(s): C. M. Verber
There seem to be no technological or material problems impeding the development of integrated optical circuits (IOC's) which cannot be overcome. Instead the largest stumbling block is the lack of clearly defined application areas in which IOC's can perform in a unique or clearly superior way. In the long run, high data-rate optical communications may be the driving forces. In the near term, we must look to specialized signal- and data-processing tasks.
Applications Of Guided Wave Optics
Author(s): D. J. Albares; H. F. Taylor
Considerable progress has been made in thin film optical devices and optical fiber waveguides over the past few years. Most of the research and development effort to date in fiber optics and "integrated optics" has been directed toward communications applications. Recently, it has been realized that there are also important potential uses for these technologies in military systems for processing wideband information and for sensing physical quantities. This paper reviews these anticipated applications including signal delay, matched filtering, A/D conversion, rf spectrum analysis, logic, pressure sensing, and rotation rate sensing.
Integrated Optics Research At Bell Laboratories
Author(s): E. A. J. Marcatili
Directional couplers, filters, modulators, switches, sources, etc., are being built either in ferroelectrics or in semiconductors. These devices make more likely the incorporation of integrated-optics technology into the rapidly growing field of optical communication.
High-Brightness Lasers Using Integrated Optics
Author(s): H. M. Stoll
Monolithic, integrated optical designs for high-spectral-radiance, GaAs/GaAℓAs laser sources are discussed. The sources described are designed to emit up to one watt of power in a CW, room-temperature operating mode. Specifically discussed are integrated optical techniques and devices for minimizing source spectral linewidth, maximizing source power, and achieving optimal output beam apodization.
Integrated Optical Components In Semiconductor Injection Lasers
Author(s): D. R. Scifres; R. D. Burnham; W. Streifer
In this paper we discuss the integration of various optical components into semiconductor injection lasers in order to improve their properties, thereby enhancing the utility of these lasers. These optical components include 2-dimensional waveguides, optical gratings, prisms and interferometric structures. The paper is divided into four sections; the first of which is a brief review of heterostructure waveguides and laser diodes. Successive sections then describe the utility of integrated optical techniques to control transverse modes, the longitudinal modes and the radiation pattern of lasers.
Advances In Heterojunction Lasers For Fiber Optics Applications
Author(s): C. J. Nuese
Reductions in power consumption and improvements in reliability have made AlGaAs stripe-contact hetero-junction lasers well-suited for many fiber-optic data systems of present interest. Although the beam pattern of some of these lasers is in the form of a stable single lobe, instabilities in the lateral direction are often observed, and require further attention for fibers with small acceptance angles. For long-distance, high-data-rate fiber systems, heterojunction lasers with emission wavelengths beyong 1 μm are being developed. Such lasers of InGaAsP/InP have many attractive properties, but suffer from carrier leakage at short wavelengths (1.0-1.2 μm) and elevated temperatures.
Guided-Wave Acousto-Optics-Fundamentals And Wideband Applications
Author(s): Chen S. Tsai
The fundamentals of noncollinear coplanar guided-wave acoustooptics and some of the more recent progress on application of the resulting devices are summarized in this paper. First, basic interaction mechanisms, configurations, and key acoustical and optical parameters are discussed. A number of wideband device configurations which employ isotropic/anisotropic Bragg diffractions and multiple surface acoustic waves together with the results obtained using optical waveguides in Y-cut LiNb03 substrate are then described. Finally, typical performance figures that have been obtained with applications using the resulting wideband devices, emphasizing those being carried out at the author's institution, including high-resolution light beam deflectors, very high-scanning rate light beam deflectors, spectrum analyzers, convolvers, pulse compressors, and tunable optical filters are given. Further improvements in performance figures as well as implementation of other types of signal processors are possible. These applications constitute some of the attractive ones in future wideband multichannel integrated/fiber optic communication and signal processing systems.
RF Frequency Sorting In Electronic Warfare Systems With Integrated Optical Circuits
Author(s): Michael C. Hamilton
Military radar environments require wideband, high resolution, high probability of intercept RF receivers for signal sorting. An Integrated Optical RF Spectrum Analyzer utilizing the Bragg diffraction of guided optical waves by surface acoustic waves has great potential for furnishing that capability. Besides having projected performance competitive with other technologies, Integrated Optics offers reduced size and cost. The state-of-the art of optical waveguide componentry has now progressed sufficiently to make possible the development of a feasibility model of such a circuit.
Development Of An Integrated-Optics Multichannel Data Processor
Author(s): D. W. Vahey; C. M. Verber; R. P. Kenan
An integrated optical system for comparing one set of voltage signals to a reference set will be described. The processor utilizes a hologram written in an outdiffused LiNb03 waveguide to effectively subtract the input signal voltage set from one or many reference sets as a means of pattern recognition. Parallel processing in a one-dimensional format should make possible comparison rates of 100 MHz for data sets containing as many as 100 information channels. The envisioned system contains the following components: A end-fired laser, a metallized-photoresist grating beam splitter and two polished-edge mirrors to form an integrated interferometer, a waveguide hologram in the area of beam recombination, and a lens to project the processed beam onto a butt-coupled detector. In the reference arm of the interferometer, a simple electrode pair is utilized to generate the phase shift required for holographic subtraction, while in the signal arm, a more complicated N-channel electrode structure is employed to electrooptically convert voltage information to spatial phase information on the guided wave. Efforts to build and characterize a three-channel system with integrated beam splitter, mirror, electrodes, and hologram are presented.
Performance Limits Of Integrated Optical Signal Processors
Author(s): G. B. Brandt; M. Gottlieb
Signal processing applications for integrated optical devices which have been proposed and currently under active study include rf spectrum analysis, analog to digital conversion, heterodyne optical reception, pulse compression, digital logic, and correlation filtering. For these applications, integrated optics offers the potential of improved performance due to the lower power consumption and higher speed which results from miniaturization. Once fabrication problems have been solved, several fundamental effects must be considered as limits on performance. For example, acoustic velocity and attenuation taken together determine the achievable time-bandwidth product for integrated optic acoustic devices just as they do for their larger bulk equivalents. Power requirements of integrated optical devices can present problems of optical or electrical damage caused by the increased energy density resulting from miniaturization. In devices such as the spectrum analyzer in which signals are represented by deflected light beams in the plane of the waveguide, the quality and design of the various components such as lenses and couplers and the guides themselves, set performance limits on application of integrated optic processors.
Integrated Optoelectronic Silicon Devices For Optical Signal Processing And Communications
Author(s): J. T. Boyd
Integrated optoelectronic devices will be considered in which optical fibers are coupled to optical channel waveguides and in which both optical slab and channel waveguides are coupled to detectors. Use of Si02/Si substrates allows formation of low loss waveguides, smooth V-groove channels for both channel waveguides and fiber support channels and sophisticated detector configurations such as charge-coupled device (CCD) linear arrays. We will discuss a slab waveguide-CCD detector coupling structure which has been experimentally characterized by a high degree of uniformity along the linear array, minimal excessive optical scattering and very low charge transfer inefficiency. Coupling of light from optical fibers to channel waveguides and from an array of channel waveguides to a CCD linear array is demonstrated. Applications of the various device structures considered to integrated optical spectrum analysis, optical transversal filtering, and time multiplexing of a number of fiber optical communication channels are discussed.
Bistable Optical Devices For Integrated Optics And Fiber Optics Applications
Author(s): E. Garmire; S. D. Allen; J. Marburger
A review of bistable optical devices is given, along with a description of a new class of devices which do not require Fabry-Perots.
Integrated-Optic Modulators-A Review And An Assessment
Author(s): Chin-Lin Chen; Talal Findakly
Modulation and defelction are two basic functions needed in any optical communication and data transmission systems. High speed modulation may be accomplished through various physical mechanisms, only modulators based on linear electrooptic effects (Pockels effect) and acoustooptic effects are of practical use in the visible and near infrared regions. A brief review of the physical principles and schemes to achieve intensity modulation are presented, leading to the establishment of the basic device parameters. Various integraed electrooptic modulators are discussed.
Polarization-Independent Switches For Use With Single-Mode Optical Fibers
Author(s): W. K. Burns
Four-port switches which operate independently of the polarization state of incident light are necessary for use with optical fibers which do not preserve polarization. We will review the present state of development of such a switch in Ti-diffused LiNb03 and the progress of end-fire coupling experiments between the switch and single mode optical fibers. Likely applications of such a switch in future optical fiber systems will be discussed.

He was originally a Liberal, contesting North Lanark for that party in 1918, but identified with the Unionists by 1928, speaking at a large number of party meetings. At the time of his election in Edinburgh North he was Advocate Deputy to the Lord Advocate and the standing junior counsel to the Department of Agriculture in Scotland.

He was created a baronet of Quothquhan in the County of Lanark on 22 June 1945.

To do this you must keep your head down over the ball and your body still. Move only your shoulder to stroke the ball. This will in turn move your arms with the putter through the ball.
Keep your head still and don't look at the hole at all. Practice this with two tees placed on either side of the putter head (outside), with at least one-fourths of an inch of clearance on each side. This is called a gate.
Now place the ball in the center of the gate and putt through it to the hole. If the putter strikes the tees, your stroke was not pure. Practice, back and through, until your stroke is pure and you make the putt. If you practice this indoors, use two golf balls as your gate.

Here are a few: Delphi: DELL-FEE; not DELLF-EYE Gaea: GUY-AH; not G-UH Hera: HAIR-UH; not HERE-UH Oceanus: O-SHION-US; not O-C-ION-US Aegis: AY-GUS; not AY-JUS maybe because they're British....

Ancient Greece Declassified
In this subject we explore Greek and Roman mythology, with particular reference to some core narratives and themes. Greek mythology is very focused around hero myths, and this is a central aspect of our study. Heroes studied in the subject include Heracles, Jason, Perseus, Bellerophon and Odysseus. We also examine some key thematic elements of Classical mythology- the figure of the monster, the sexual conduct of gods and mortals, conception and birth, fire, images of the underworld and life after death. The adaption of Greek myth in Italy (Entruscan and Roman) to meet the needs of different cultures will be explored. Sources dealt with in the subject include epic poetry, drama, painted vases, tomb paintings, and architectural remains. We conclude the subject with some modern cinematic adaptations of mythic themes from the ancient world.
Rank #1: Heroes in the Underworld.
A trip to the home of the dead is a specific kind of 'quest narrative' carried out by Greek mythology's greatest heroes, as a rite of passage and a demonstration of a great hero's power. To journey to the underworld and return is the most extreme inversion of mortality which a hero can achieve, and the Greek underworld is the last, inescapable location for even great warriors like Achilles. The most renowned underworld visitors are Odysseus, who meets figures from his past and finds out what he needs to do in the future; Herakles, who retrieves Cerberus, the fierce guard of the underworld, as one of his quests; and Orpheus, a musician of such skill that he can pacify wild beasts with his music who manages to persuade the gods of the underworld to allow his dead wife, Eurydice, to return with him. This lecture investigates the heroes who visit the home of the dead, as well as exploring Greek conceptions of where the underworld was and how it appeared.

Rank #2: Thebes I: Foundation.
Thebes, in central Greece, had its own distinctive foundation myths, which combined divine origin, autochthony and immigrant stories. There are several myths of foundation: the walls were built by sons of Zeus, while the territory was laid out by Cadmus, a refugee fromAsia Minor, who peoples Thebes with the offspring of the Spartoi ('the Sown Men'), warriors who grow from the ground when Cadmus plants the teeth of a monstrous snake. Featured in several Athenian tragedies, Thebes has been seen as a displaced location on which Athens enacts dangerous and confrontational ideas. This lecture investigates this idea by looking in detail at the anarchy wrought by Dionysus in Euripides' Bacchae. Copyright 2013 Rhiannon Evans / La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
A retelling of the legends of King Arthur, Robin Hood and many others, for all the family.
Rank #1: Norse Mythology: Who Were the Norse?.
Welcome to the world of Norse Mythology. In this brief introduction we'll take a quick look at who the Norse actually were.
Rank #2: Chapter Four: Heimdall the Watcher.
Loki finds a cunning way of rebuilding Asgard's wall and Heimdall goes on a productive journey.
Silver footed, fair haired Thetis, Ares the God of War, Nike the Goddess of Victory, The Furies and The Muses, Zeus the presiding deity of the Universe and the magical, mysterious Olympus, are some of the amazing, mythical Greek and Roman deities you'll encounter in this book. Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by EM Berens was originally intended for young readers. Written in an easy and light style, the author attempts to bring the pantheon of gods into a comprehensible format. He organizes them into different dynasties and chronologies to make it easier for the reader to understand the labyrinthine relationships and connections between the various gods, heroes, minor divinities, mythical figures and legendary creatures. Greek and Roman legends form the base of all European art, literature and civilization itself. Since the advent of Christianity, the so called Pagan religion which dominated all of Europe for thousands of years were eclipsed but the study of the Classics as part of the education in Greek and Latin kept them alive. Today there's hardly a serious student of English or art who does not encounter some reference to an ancient Greek or Roman myth or deity somewhere in literature and the Western languages. A visit to any of the museums or classical art galleries in Europe would be one that's filled with allusions and depictions of Greek or Roman legends. For modern day readers, the book is a mine of information about the lineage of the gods, forms of worship, festivals and temples devoted to them. It is interestingly chronicled, right from the primordial legend of Uranus and Gaia to the Creation of the Earth, through the dynasties of the Gods, heroes and divinities of the Night and the Sea, right up to the Trojan War where the Gods played a most important role in the destiny of humans. The section on temples and worship is especially interesting for students of archeology and history. It also includes statues, augurs, soothsayers, temple architecture, altars, priests and sacrifices. The extensive footnotes and author's notes for each chapter add value and interest while the charming illustrations make it attractive for younger readers. Anyone who is interested in exploring the ancient legends of two of the oldest Western civilizations would certainly find Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E.M. Berens a source of hours of reading pleasure and a valuable addition to their bookshelf.

The cost of obtaining a death certificate in England and Wales has nearly tripled in the last month - and the Home Office has revealed why.
Registering a death is a statutory responsibility, but it can also be a costly one, particularly following the recent price change.
Whilst the process of informing local authorities that a loved one has died is free, it's obtaining the certified copies of this registration that costs those left behind.
Until recently, each copy of a death, birth or marriage provided was priced at just £4 - but the figure has now almost tripled to a staggering £11 each.
Family members and will executors must provide proof of death to utility companies and financial institutions, such as banks, in order to receive their loved one's money - so it's likely they'll require more than a few copies.
Although approved by Parliament, the announcement has been met with criticism by business experts - like Ian Bond, chairman of the Law Society's wills and equity committee.
Discussing the price rise on BBC Radio 4's Moneybox, he said: "The Law Society's reaction is that we are disappointed that the increase has taken place in such a way.
"It puts an increased burden on bereaved families at a time when they're trying to deal with the deal of a loved one."
Mr Bond further explained that, to the surprise of many, they'll need to provide an original document to each financial institution, for example, as they don't typically accept photocopies due to the potential for fraud.
This means, he added, that most people will likely need at least 10 certificates - which previously would have cost £40, but is now priced at £110.
But why has the price been increased so rapidly?
A Home Office spokesperson told North Wales Live: "Civil registration certificate fees have remained unchanged since 2010.
"The new fees, as agreed by Parliament, ensure that the costs of delivering these services are paid for by those who are using them, thereby reducing the burden on the taxpayer.
"The fees are set at cost recovery levels only, and registration officers have power to waive or reduce fees on grounds of compassion or hardship."
They added that decisions to waiver or reduce the fee are for registration officials to make based on circumstances presented to them at the time - with each case considered on its own merits.
Claims of an increased cost of production however were dismissed by Mr Bond, who explained: "The cost and the service hasn't significantly changed since 2010."
He noted that there hasn't been anything to cause a huge increase, such as a security update or new software.
"There is no additional cost in reality to asking for 1 certificate or 10 certificates, [so] we would have hoped that there would have been a reduction for subsequent copies of the document itself," Mr Bond added.
North Wales Live put this to the Home Office, though the spokesperson however declined to comment on such a claim.


In the late spring of 2012, there was a buzz in the biblioblog world about a new book by Ben Witherington III called A Week in the Life of Corinth (InterVarsity Press Academic), a fictional work about a character named Nicanor who converts to Christianity after meeting the apostle Paul. Seminarians, pastors, preachers, interested Christians, and not a few professors of New Testament blogged the book—so frequently that by August I had declared AWLC the hit Corinthian book of the summer. One may not find many academic reviews of this work in the principal New Testament journals, but AWLC has perhaps reached a broader audience than the typical academic monograph on Corinthian churches, or even the excellent commentaries on 1 and 2 Corinthians. Compare, for example, the dozens of book reviews (now 55 at Amazon alone) with whatever your favorite book on Corinth happens to be.
AWLC, then, is not written for Corinthian archaeologists, classicists, or bible scholars per se, who will find plenty of things to quibble about. It is, rather, written to encourage undergraduate students, new seminarians, and readers of the bible to think about Paul's Corinth in context. With its numerous photograps of Greco-Roman contexts, including Corinth, and its sections devoted to taking "A Closer Look," it acts as introduction.
Since the book is necessarily cursory in its discussions of background context, and controversial in its particular picture of Corinthian churches (the Corinthian assembly, which includes elites like Erastus, seem to me to be too saintly!), I would hope that the use of such work, whether in bible studies or seminary classes, would move quickly on to serious commentaries or some of the good scholarship on archaeology, texts, and ancient religion in Corinth such as Corinth in Context, Urban Religion in Roman Corinth, or Corinth in Contrast.
The book is available in Google Books for preview.

UPDATED 2:33 PM: Texas electors secured for Donald Trump the Electoral College win, with all but two votes going his way putting him over the 270 vote threshold. Despite pleas to electors from some Hollywood celebrities, and Michael Moore's offer to pay the fines of any jumping ship, it was a day of few surprises on the domestic front, though much drama and violence on the international stage.
"It's a relief tonight, certainly. Rep Chris Collins/Trump Transition Team surrogate told CNN. "It's a shame it's overshadowed by all the tragedy in Germany. Certainly our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those. But we are going to be moving on now. Donald Trump's cabinet is all but full."
Collins did mention the other big news that had pushed Trump's victory lap to the wings in today's news cycle. But, after hitting the 270 threshold, Trump issued a statement:
Michael Moore Offers To Pay GOP Electors' Fines If They Vote Their
Today we offer our condolences to the family and loved ones of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov, who was assassinated by a radical Islamic terrorist. The murder of an ambassador is a violation of all rules of civilized order and must be universally condemned."
Previous: Electors in Texas were poised to push Donald Trump over the threshold to officially be named our next POTUS, but bloody developments internationally pushed Trump's headline into the TV news cycle side wing.
At 12:42 PM PT, NBC News broke in to its network schedule with a special report when a truck that plowed into a Christmas crowd in Berlin, killing at least nine and injuring at least 50 more. That mass killing had followed by a few hours the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey at an art gallery in Ankara by an off-duty police officer. Video of the incident showed the gunman shouting, "Do not forget Aleppo, do not forget Syria!" after shooting Ambassador Andrey Karlov multiple times.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said of the attack, per Reuters' translation, "A crime has been committed and it was without doubt a provocation aimed at spoiling the normalization of Russo-Turkish relations and spoiling the Syrian peace process which is being actively pushed by Russia, Turkey, Iran and others,"
Berlin authorities quickly told U.S. cable news outlets the truck slaughter was being investigated as a terror incident, though they cautioned it had not yet been officially classified as such. A suspect believed to be the driver quickly was apprehended, cable news networks began reporting at 12: 52 PM PT. TV news networks bailed on other stories to focus on the scene, which was packed with ambulances and holiday shoppers. By 12:30 PM PT, CNN intelligence and security analyst Bob Baer already was describing it as a "Nice-like attack."
In July, France extended its state of emergency for three months after what French President François Hollande said "was obviously a terrorist attack" in Nice, perpetrated by a driver in a truck. That attack left at least 84 people dead and hundreds injured, 52 of those critically, per French prosecutors, after a truck smashed through barriers and accelerated into a crowd gathered for a fireworks show to celebrate Bastille Day.
Meanwhile, at least three others were injured in the art-gallery assassination in Ankara. The assailant was killed by other officers in a shootout. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement calling it a "despicable attack, which was also an assault on the right of all diplomats to safely and securely advance and represent their nations around the world."

← These books won't sell themselves…or will they?
If you haven't figured it out yet, we write together or not at all. Some days it's the best thing we've ever done and other days we want to kill each other. But mostly, it works. We've managed to finish five novels and two short stories by working collaboratively.
We start with one of us proposing an idea. This might be met with excitement, doubt, or counter-proposals, depending on the day and how much coffee we've had that morning. Whichever of us is the most enthusiastic about the idea usually signs on as main writer and then we choose our co-writer or our co-writer chooses us. In this manner, we are able to work on two projects simultaneously. We've learned the hard way that we can only work on two manuscripts at a time and still keep our stories straight. Right now, Nancy is main writer on the Ocular and Eric is co-writer. Anne is main writer on Hunters of Gaia and Eric is doing double duty as her co-writer. Once those two works-in-progress are complete, we'll start the process all over again.
After identifying the who's who of the writing process, we meet to flesh out our story arcs and from there, we develop a chapter map. Each chapter of the novel is preplanned but that doesn't mean it is a static document. It changes over time as new developments and plot holes make themselves known during the writing process. All three of us get a crack at edits as the novel progresses.
Keys to successful collaborative writing that we've learned the hard way ~ leave your ego and your ownership of the story at the door. Passionate defense of your ideas and story contributions will ensue. Don't forget to give out the tough love and above all, don't kill each other.
This week we'll be uploading Holly Virginia to Smashwords now that our KDP Select enrollment has expired. Work continues on the Ocular and Hunters of Gaia. Never fear, we're making progress!

Emmanuel Bernard Builds Open Source Software
Hibernate Search in Action
The bible for Hibernate Search by Emmanuel Bernard and John Griffin, Manning editions
This book published by Manning aims at being a practical guide and a reference guide for Hibernate Search. Hibernate Search is a full-text search library for Hibernate applications.
This page will guide you through various resources.
Good search capability is one of the primary demands of a business application. Engines like Lucene provide a great starting point, but with complex applications it can be tricky to implement. It's tough to keep the index up to date, deal with the mismatch between the index structure and the domain model, handle querying conflicts, and so on.
Hibernate Search is an enterprise search tool based on Hibernate Core and Apache Lucene. It provides full text search capabilities for Hibernate-based applications without the infrastructural code required by other search engines. With this free, open-source technology, you can quickly add high-powered search features in an intelligent, maintainable way.
Hibernate Search in Action is a practical, example-oriented guide for Java developers with some background in Hibernate Core. As the first book to cover Hibernate Search, it guides you through every step to set up full text search functionality in your Java applications. The book also introduces core search techniques and reviews the relevant parts of Lucene, in particular the query capabilities.
Hibernate Search in Action also provides a pragmatic, how-to exploration of more advanced topics such as Search clustering. For anyone using Hibernate or JBoss Seam, this book is the definitive guide on how to add or enhance search features in their applications.
Buying the book
You can buy the book on Amazon in paper format, or buy the PDF (or PDF + paper) version at Manning.
You can download the source code at https://github.com/emmanuelbernard/hibernatesearchinaction.

How Much Is An Elephant Bladder? An elephant's bladder is about 1 1/2 feet tall.
How much is a full bladder? Once your bladder contains 16–24 ounces of fluid, it's considered full. Research tells us that the bladder has a direct line of communication with your brain. Your bladder is full of receptors that tell your brain how full your bladder is.
How much is a bladder? The bladder is lined by layers of muscle tissue that stretch to hold urine. The normal capacity of the bladder is 400-600 mL. During urination, the bladder muscles squeeze, and two sphincters (valves) open to allow urine to flow out. Urine exits the bladder into the urethra, which carries urine out of the body.
How many gallons does an elephant bladder hold? An elephant's bladder can hold nearly 5 gallons (18 liters) of fluid, and yet, it can pee just as quickly as a cat. A new study reveals that most mammals larger than rats urinate for about the same amount of time: 21 seconds.
You see, elephants pee a lot—some 12 to 15 gallons a day—and that urine can contain an array of chemical cues. But first, they needed some pee. So they headed to a spot along Botswana's Boteti River and waited.
A healthy bladder can hold about 2 cups of urine before it's considered full. It takes your body 9 to 10 hours to produce 2 cups of urine. That's about as long as you can wait and still be in the safe zone without the possibility of damaging your organs.
Kegels can strengthen your pelvic floor to help you hold urine longer. When the urge to go between your bathroom intervals hits, try to sit for a few minutes. Take some deep breaths and focus on something other than your bladder. Make it your goal to reach at least five minutes of waiting.
This stretching can increase the size of the bladder from about 2 inches to more than 6 inches long, depending on the amount of liquid. The typical human bladder reaches its capacity between 16 to 24 ounces of urine, but the urge to urinate comes when the bladder is about one-quarter full.
Frequent urination can be a symptom of many different problems from kidney disease to simply drinking too much fluid. When frequent urination is accompanied by fever, an urgent need to urinate, and pain or discomfort in the abdomen, you may have a urinary tract infection.
Holding your urine for too long can weaken the bladder muscles over time. This can lead to problems such as incontinence and not being able to fully empty your bladder. Holding your urine for extremely long periods of time can also cause urinary tract infections due to bacteria build-up.
The urine is then collected in plastic bags and stored in the zoo staff quarters. According to figures provided by zoo authorities, the two rhinos relieve about 10 litres of urine everyday, but investigations now reveal that racketeers could be doping the animals to make them relieve more often.
Call it the other Golden Rule: Scientists have found that all mammals weighing more than 2.2 pounds (a kilogram) empty their full bladders in about 20 seconds.
Freshwater fish will passively intake water from their environment and then, as their insides are saltier than their surroundings, will excrete a diluted urine. Fish have kidneys which produce urine containing ammonium, phosphorus, urea, and nitrous waste.
Birds convert nitrogen to uric acid instead: this is metabolically more costly but saves water and weight, as it is less toxic and doesn't need to be diluted so much. Birds therefore don't have a urethra, and don't pee – all waste leaves via the anus.
The elephant's drainage pipe of a urethra (1 meter long, 10 centimeters in diameter) has exactly the same aspect ratio as the mouse's, which is about the size of a thick staple (1 centimeter long, 1 millimeter in diameter). However, for animals as small as mice, the physics of urination are totally different.
PEEING ONCE OR TWICE A DAY: Peeing once or twice a day is not a healthy symptom. This means that you are dehydrated and your body requires water to eliminate toxins and waste out of it.
There's currently no official record set for the longest someone has gone without peeing, but holding it in is not advised. According to msn.com, no serious health problems have been linked to holding urine too long.
UTIs happen when bacteria or something else infects parts of your urinary system, which includes your bladder, urethra and kidneys. Besides frequent urination, signs of a UTI include a burning feeling when you pee, discolored urine and constantly feeling like you have to pee (even after peeing).
A healthy person may urinate anywhere from four to ten times in a day. The average amount, however, is usually between six and seven times in a 24-hour period. But it's not out of the ordinary to urinate more or less on any given day.
The following causes of urge incontinence have been identified: cystitis, an inflammation of the lining of the bladder. neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, and Parkinson's disease. enlarged prostate, which can cause the bladder to drop, and the urethra to become irritated.
A healthy human bladder can hold between 400 to 500 milliliters of urine, or about 2 cups, before it reaches capacity. Though a healthy bladder can stretch and accommodate larger volumes of urine, it's important to urinate at regular intervals.
With enough time, you should be able to do almost everything you did before. Even if you now use a urostomy bag (to collect your urine), you can go back to work, exercise, and swim. People might not even notice you until you tell them.
Any blood in the urine can be a sign of a serious health problem, even if it happens only once. Ignoring hematuria can lead to the worsening of serious conditions like cancer and kidney disease, so you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
If you're the only one using your shower, you're probably safe peeing in there, too. And if you do pee in the shower, then make sure you regularly clean it. But if you're sharing a shower with family members or roommates, find out if everyone is comfortable with how that shower is being used.


A ring cairn (also correctly termed a ring bank enclosure, but sometimes wrongly described as a ring barrow) is a circular or slightly oval, ring-shaped, low (maximum 0.5 metres high) embankment, several metres wide and from 8 to 20 metres in diameter. It is made of stone and earth and was originally empty in the centre. In several cases the middle of the ring was later used (at Hound Tor, for example, there is a stone cist in the centre). The low profile of these cairns is not always possible to make out without conducting excavations.
These sites date to the Bronze Age and occur in Cornwall; Wales and Derbyshire (Barbrook IV and V and Green Low) in England and in Ireland.
The cairns look like flat variants of the significantly higher Clava cairns, which are often called ring cairns by laymen. The situation is rather different on the gritstones of the Eastern Uplands. Here it is more common to find smaller stone circles and ring cairns. The patterned relationship of these smaller monuments to cairnfield systems throughout the Eastern Moors suggests that they were built and used by specific communities, probably in the centuries around 2000 BC. Although details vary from one site to another, nearly all comprise a ring of small upright stones set on the inner edge of a roughly circular bank.
Ring cairns may have had a function that lay somewhere between that of the much older henges and the contemporary stone circles. The fact that in southeast Wales there are so few stone circles could be related to the fact that ring cairns were built there instead.
Although graves have been found in some ring cairns, this does not appear to be their original purpose. In the central area, graves and pits with cremation ashes, fireplaces and sometimes, small, low cairns are found.
The slightly oval ring cairns near Arthur's Stone on the Gower Peninsula show that the inner edges of ring cairns were especially carefully constructed and were set in front of a small grave. Originally there was a passage through the ring here, about ten metres across, that was blocked when the cairn ceased to be used.

The Rider Tarot Deck
The world's most popular tarot deck! This classic deck has long been a favorite of beginners as well as tarot enthusiasts.
The cards were drawn in 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. Smith's vibrant drawings transformed the standard tarot deck.
"A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)
Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.

Miss Enwere Adaobi, an alumnus of Accra Technical University has donated educational books on various courses to the University. Miss Adaobi, a 2018(SLT) graduate and also a member of Efiiwe, a Non- governmental Organization, said as part of their organization's mission, they supply books to schools all over Africa from the United States of America (USA) to enrich their reading culture. "Students must have vast knowledge in their field of study and I therefore see it appropriate to also gather some books to give to the institution that trained me" she added.
The Dean of Students Affairs, Mr. Michael A-A Okae Adow, who received the books on behalf of the University expressed confidence that the books would go a long way to boost the knowledge of students in their respective fields of study for national development. "These books will go a long way in complimenting the knowledge acquired by the students who will in turn give back to society", he added.
Mrs. Selikem Sebuava Dovlo, a Senior Assistant Librarian, present at the event, commended Miss Adaobi for her good and generous gesture.
The Public Affairs Director, Ms. Fausta K. Ganaa, also applauded Miss Adaobi and urged her to attend Alumni meetings to see how she could contribute her quota in other ways.

Navy Commercial Access Control System Did Not Effectively Mitigate Access Control Risks
by Sabrina I. Pacifici on Sep 20, 2013
Navy Commercial Access Control System Did Not Effectively Mitigate Access Control Risks (Repot1 No. DODIG-2013-134), September 16, 2013
"FINDING A: NCACS Did Not Effectively Mitigate Access Control Risks for Contractors Entering Navy Installations – The Navy Commercial Access Control System, Rapidgate, did not effectively mitigate the access control risks of contractors accessing Navy installations. Specifically, numerous contractor employees enrolled in Rapidgate received interim installation access and Rapidgate credentials without having their identities vetted through mandatory authoritative databases, such as the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database and the Terrorist Screening Database. Furthermore, as an alternative to NCACS, contractor employees could obtain a local daily pass without having their identities vetted through NCIC and the Terrorist Screening IDatabase. This occurred because-in an attempt to reduce access control costs-CNIC did not: • follow Federal credentialing standards and DoD contractor vetting requirements and • provide 7 of the 10 installations visited with the appropriate resources and capabilities to conduct required contractor background checks. As a result, 52 convicted felons received routine, unauthorized access to Navy installations for 62 to 1,035 days since Eid Passport's initial public record checks did not identify the felony convictions. This placed military personnel, dependents, civilians, and installations at an increased security risk."
