Avtec and NeoTerra Partnership Provides Enhanced Dispatching Capabilities
Company Representative March 24, 2015 Product & Service Announcements
Integrated Voice, Text, and Mapping Solution Now Available
Las Vegas, NV – March 18, 2015 – Two leading Land Mobile Radio (LMR) application developers announced a partnership agreement today that expands the capabilities available to dispatchers using the MOTOTRBO™ platform. Through this partnership, Avtec Inc., a leading provider of voice dispatch solutions, and NeoTerra, a leading application developer for digital mobile radio systems, now provide an integrated voice, text, mapping, and fleet management solution for dispatch operations. This solution was developed to meet market demand from MOTOTRBO clients in the business and industry, utility, refinery, manufacturing, transportation, and petrochemical sectors who require the enhanced functionality of a wireline connection for business-critical radio dispatching.
The Avtec Scout™ console offers direct IP connectivity to MOTOTRBO IP Site Connect, Connect Plus, and Linked Capacity Plus radio systems, and delivers redundancy and scalability to hundreds of talk groups. NeoTerra's neoConneX® application is a text messaging, mapping, and automatic vehicle location (AVL) solution for the MOTOTRBO radio platform. It supports the transfer of Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates from the mobile subscribers to Avtec's Scout Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) dispatch system. With this integrated solution, Scout console users can view location information for radio subscribers. Dispatchers can also send text and voice messages to — and receive messages from — individual radios or talk groups via the Scout desktop. Testing was conducted on NeoTerra's neoConneX version V8.10.100 and Avtec Scout software versions 3.4 and 4.0.
Michael Ridge, Director of Partnerships and Alliances for Avtec, said, "Previously, customers needed two computers to provide the functionality that the Neoterra and Avtec solution can perform simply and reliably with software. This solution represents a leap forward for our clients."
"The neoConneX application complements Scout's robust voice processing functionality and provides a comprehensive solution for dispatch environments," said Ewan Crawford, NeoTerra's President and CTO. "This technology integration completes the MOTOTRBO ecosystem by unifying data, text, AVL, and voice into one console interface."
Demonstrations were held during the Motorola Solutions Channel Partner Exposition on March 15-17 at the Aria Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas.

WATCH: Strategist says Pence 'only one conservatives can trust'
By The Hill staff - 08/16/16 02:45 PM EDT
Donald Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, provides a "guarantee to conservatives" that the GOP ticket is worth supporting, a Republican strategist tells The Hill.
Pence's involvement in the campaign is "providing links to Republican leadership and giving them peace of mind that there's always someone they can turn to because ... within this Trump orbit, Pence is the only one conservatives can trust," John Feehery, a contributor to The Hill, says in an interview with Molly K. Hooper.
Pence is set to hold town halls this week in Nevada and New Hampshire, states with critical Senate races. He is also slated to campaign in Florida, where Sen. Marco Rubio (R) is seeking reelection, according to ABC News.
Democratic Rep. André Carson (Ind.), who served in the House with Pence, says Pence is up for the challenge of balancing out Trump.
Pence "knows what he signed up for. He's very measured. I think they have complementary styles," Carson said in an interview.
Watch the video above to hear Feehery and Carson discuss Pence's role in the presidential campaign.

A real cool track that is autobiographical from Burke The Jurke. The production when coupled with Burke's own sung chorus gives the song a very soulful element. I really enjoy the lyricism digging deep and giving the listener perspective in context. It's certainly not random jibberish.
The new album, Know Alternatives, drops in a little over a month. I can't wait.
The highly underrated Burke The Jurke continues to smite you nonbelievers with more dope music. The Maloiks is from his latest album Ear Responsible which is out now and should be listened to at your earliest possible convenience or get buried in the woods!
This song must've been too hard for most blogs to post on. I honestly can't believe it hasn't garnered more attention. Mr. Green has banging keys on this joint, and Burke The Jurke leaves no bar untouched. A real sick flow on this track. I hate to use cliches but what the hell…this joint goes hard.
He has an album dropping called, Ear Responsible with no release date as of right now. I will be looking for it though.
I love the concept video. This is one of the dope cuts that you can find off of Burke the Jurke's, Jurke Du Soleil album. It's a solid album that I recommend you look into.

EDF Energies Nouvelles commissions a 12.3 MW wind farm in Champagne-Ardenne
Further strengthening its expansion in the French wind energy sector, EDF Energies Nouvelles announces the commissioning of the Portes de Champagne wind farm. With a 12.3 MW installed capacity, it is located in the Marne department.
Comprising six 2.05 MW turbines (4 located at Essarts-le-Vicomte and 2 others at La Forestière), the wind farm was developed and built by EDF Energies Nouvelles and will be operated and maintained by its subsidiary EDF EN Services.
By the end, this facility will produce the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of 11 000 inhabitants (including heating) and will prevent around 2,000 tons of CO2 / year being emitted into the atmosphere.
The commissioning of the Portes de Champagne wind farm, coupled with the forthcoming commissioning of the Pouzols wind farm (Aude), with a 5.1 MW, brings the gross installed wind energy capacity of EDF EN in France to 773.5 MW*.
Over the last six months, EDF Energies Nouvelles has significantly strengthened its presence in its home market through the successive acquisitions of Iberdrola Renovables France and Sechilienne Sidec's onshore wind energy assets for a total of 361 MW gross, as well as the commissioning of 65 MW of new in-house developed capacity.


The Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, has hailed the achievements of the Captain of the English Premier League side Leicester City and Jamaican International Wes Morgan.
Leicester City defied odds of 5,000:1 to win the championship.
Morgan played in every game in Leicester City's championship season and became the first black captain to lead a team to the English Premier League title.
"Earlier this year, something remarkable happened. It was supposed to be impossible, yet it happened anyway," said Minister Grange in reference to Morgan leading his club to winning the English Premier League title.
"At the centre of this impossible victory was one Wes Morgan of Jamaican roots," said Minister Grange.
Morgan played in every game in Leicester City's championship season and became the first black captain to lead a team to the English Premier League title.
Addressing a luncheon for the national team on Sunday, at which Wes Morgan was recognised for his achievements, Minister Grange said the footballer had demonstrated how to defy the odds and did extraordinary things when others had written off his team.
The Deputy Mayor of Kingston, Councillor Andrew Swaby, presented the Gold Medal of the City of Kingston to Morgan at the luncheon, which was hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.
Wes Morgan expressed appreciation for the accolade and said he hoped his story would inspire others.

Zotac Launches VR Gaming PC You Can Strap to Your Back
We've all been there: We're in VR but we're stuck in our living room and unable to take our metaverse experience to the local coffee shop. (Have we all been here? And are we certain we want to go? -Ed)
Zotac's VR GO 4.0 backpack PC is hoping to change that. It's a full-blown workstation-slash-mobile gaming PC in a backpack form factor. As its name implies, it's the fourth generation of Zotac's wearable PCs. It's essentially a slim PC with a desktop GPU that you can strap to your back. It can sit on your desk like a regular computer, then be unplugged for on-the-go VR gaming. It even includes hot-swappable batteries and an RTX GPU to boot. The VR Headset is sold separately, of course.
What Zotac has done here is build a small form factor (SFF) PC, then attached it to a wearable harness. It's also added the ability unplug it so it runs on battery power, though you won't be spending hours in the metaverse. The 6000mAh battery is only rated for 50 minutes of playtime. Thankfully it comes with a second hot-swappable battery, but carrying around extra batteries is probably not enjoyable. You can buy as many extra batteries as you like though, but it's unclear how much they cost. A similar battery for the 2.0 version costs $149.
Despite its form factor it seems like a pretty decent gaming PC, albeit with some unexpected components. For example it has an 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core i7-11800H CPU, which is a 45W mobile part. Why Zotac didn't go for an Alder Lake part is a mystery. The GPU is weird though; it's an Nvidia RTX a4500 "professional" Ampere card with 16GB of VRAM. We reached out to Zotac about why it chose this particular GPU, but didn't hear back. Suffice to say it's a very strange inclusion in a product marketed towards gamers. This is the kind of GPU you use to run professional compute applications, not Beat Saber. The company is also offering the same solution in a new SFF workstation. This may be a configuration the company settled on for several projects — the workstation has the same specs as the VR GO, but isn't mounted in a harness.
The VR GO lets you easily add more memory and upgrade the M.2 SSD. (Image: Zotac)
Other specs include 16GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory, a 512GB M.2 SSD, Wi-Fi 6e and all the usual connectivity options. It allows expansion via USB and has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 for desktop duty. Naturally, it also has RGB lights because you need that on a PC you wear on your back. It's great for battery life, after all.
Overall, this is a weird product from Zotac. The marketing copy it included with it is PR word salad about breaking boundaries and envisioning new experiences. In other words, the same old metaverse bollocks we've heard before. It even includes bizarre mentions of "boosting data science model training" and running engineering simulations. We're kind of baffled by it, to be honest. It's also hard for us to envision a scenario where we'd want to use a VR headset in an environment other than a spacious living room. Oh, and did we mention it weighs 11lbs? Due to its size Zotac includes a metal support frame and a support strap that goes around your waist. Suffice to say, you will know you are wearing this thing despite its reported "all day comfort." Perhaps it's a good thing the battery only lasts 50 minutes.

It's fall fundraising time at school!
Again this year the Terry Fox Foundation is having its annual Terry Fox National School Run and my daughters school is participating. We received the letter after school and I asked her if she wanted to participate in it, she immediately said "Of course!", well that was a proud moment. Last year she was a little too young to participate so the JK and SK classes weren't included in the national school run. This year, she's a big girl happy to do her part to help and it is an excellent way for kids to discover that they too can make a difference, give something without expecting anything in return except maybe a smile.
Terry Fox is a Canadian Hero who ran cross-country in the early 1980's for cancer, suffering from bone cancer himself. He ran thousands of miles with one leg amputated. His incredible story has touched the hearts and lives of people not only in Canada but world-wide and my daughter learning about his history and participating in an amazing event is a proud thing for me. I remember learning about him in school as well.
Aside from asking friends and family for pledges and because the school prefers we not canvas door to door, I set up a pledge page on behalf of my daughter for her pledge raising for St. Michael Catholic elementary here in Ottawa. As you all know cancer affects the lives of thousands of people every day, in fact this cause hits close to home as we have lost loved ones to this deadly disease. Anything can help toward the research for a cure. Can you help?
Click here to pledge as little (or as much) as you would like...my daughter will be walking for Terry on September 30th 2010.

Who will recover faster from the virus? Europe or the US?
The contrast between Europe and the United States has been particularly stark. Much of Europe resorted to strict lockdowns that mostly beat back the virus but capsized economies. In the United States, President Donald Trump has prioritized getting the economy moving even as infections multiply.
July 02, 2020, 12:24 IST
BRUSSELS: After the devastating financial crisis of 2008-09, the United States recovered much more quickly than Europe, which suffered a double-dip recession. This time, many economists say that Europe may have the edge.
The main reason America did well was the rapid response of the government and the flexible nature of the U.S. economy, quick both to fire workers but also to hire them again. Europe, with built-in social insurance, tries to keep workers from layoffs through subsidies to employers, making it harder to fire and more expensive to rehire.
But this is a different kind of collapse, a mandated shutdown in response to a pandemic, driving down both supply and demand simultaneously. And that difference creates the possibility that the European response, freezing the economy in place, might work better this time.
"It's an important debate," said Jean Pisani-Ferry, a senior economist with Bruegel in Brussels and the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. "This isn't a normal recession, and there's a lot you don't know, especially if the virus comes back."
By now, the coronavirus has turned the world into a giant laboratory of competing systems, each with its own way of fighting the virus and mitigating its economic damage. The contrast between Europe and the United States has been particularly stark.
Much of Europe resorted to strict lockdowns that mostly beat back the virus but capsized economies. In the United States, President Donald Trump has prioritized getting the economy moving even as infections multiply.
Nearly everywhere governments had to step in with support as the emphasis shifted to relief and recovery. The common denominator is debt. The International Monetary Fund is forecasting that global debt will increase this year by 19% relative to gross domestic product.
But the contrast is not only about different systems. It is also about different wagers on how the pandemic will proceed — which will make all the difference to how long government relief can be sustained.
Already the different approaches are yielding different outcomes, not only in terms of infections and deaths — where the United States leads the world — but also jobs, with unemployment soaring in U.S. while it remains largely stable in Europe.
The United States has provided an early burst of funds for taxpayers and company support but is effectively leaving it up to the market to reallocate jobs.
European governments, faced with an artificial shutdown, rather than a traditional fiscal crisis, have chosen to try to "freeze" their economies, in the hope of resuming them quickly.
They have bet on a fairly rapid recovery, opting to try to preserve jobs as much as possible through wage subsidies, often up to 80% of salary, and for part-time work.
But if the pandemic goes on too long, or returns in an extended second wave, European governments are unlikely to extend such support for much longer.
Already, said Pisani-Ferry, "everyone is pulling back a bit." Some plans were very generous, and "there is a question of balance — you want to avoid fraud and avoid companies keeping people on furlough if there's no chance of rehiring them."
Many European countries have adopted what is known in Germany as "kurzarbeit," in which firms promise not to lay anyone off but to share the work, while the government makes up much of the lost income.
"So far Europe is doing quite well, with a huge increase in unemployment in the U.S. and not so much here," said Guntram Wolff, director of Bruegel, an economic think tank.
"If what we see is temporary, if we return to an economic system much like before, then kurzarbeit is the right response," he said. "But if you think there will be longer-lasting shifts, if you need to reallocate, then the U.S., which is more agile, may be better off."
Initial U.S. spending was massive — up to $2.7 trillion in March and April (about 13% of gross domestic product) to provide economic relief to individuals, firms and states. It was the largest economic stimulus in American history. It was also several times bigger than Europe's package, which in France, for example, was only 2%, Pisani-Ferry said.
Still, "the European response was better — simpler and more effective in terms of the use of public funds," he said.
The reason is Europe's existing social welfare system. Its "automatic stabilizers" kick in to support the poor and unemployed, without the need, as in the United States, to pass ad hoc legislation.
The U.S. response was a broad rather than targeted attack, with large amounts of money handed out quickly but indiscriminately and thus inefficiently by the Treasury, which had no system in place to do otherwise.
The main point was to get money into the system so it did not shut down entirely, so consumer demand would continue. But the Treasury ended up giving a lot to those who did not need it — including to many dead people — and on a first-come, first-serve basis to employers, some of whom did not need the help.
But even that huge spending, largely targeted at individuals rather than employers, did not prevent massive layoffs. Washington is relying on unemployment insurance and increased those payments by $600 a week, but that runs out at the end of July. Without any certainty about what comes next, consumers will hesitate to spend, slowing any recovery.
The rise in unemployment in America has been roughly five times that in France, Pisani-Ferry wrote in a paper with Jérémie Cohen-Setton. "As an immediate crisis response, the French (and European) approach undoubtedly offered a bigger bang for the buck."
But such European generosity to prop up the existing system may slow job growth compared to the more flexible, insecure U.S. system, in which it's easier to hire and fire, argues Megan Greene, an economist at Harvard's Kennedy School.
"Labor market flexibility creates more opportunities for U.S. workers, usually leading to a faster recovery after a downturn," she wrote.
That has helped America bounce back faster in traditional recessions, but this is a different kind of recession, a sudden freeze with no obvious exit.
"The United States had a much larger fiscal stimulus, but as usual, fewer automatic stabilizers, so the discretionary part was bigger," said Lucrezia Reichlin, professor of economics at London Business School. "So in America there is a bigger debate about who is winning and who is losing.''
Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics pointed out that because most Europeans do not have to worry about getting their salaries, the "lockdown was also easier to sustain."
That was especially true, he said, for "the critical eight weeks, mid-March to mid-May," when Europe largely succeeded in snuffing out the rapid advance of the virus, which is continuing to spread in the United States at a record pace.
In the United States, "there are a lot of voices clamoring to open up or it will cost us the economy, since there are millions of Americans that need to work to put food on the table," he said. "So Americans were willing to take chances that Europeans did not have to."
A lot will depend now on the course of the pandemic.
No doubt, Europeans continue to argue fiercely over the size and shape of their coronavirus recovery fund and how it will be distributed, but by now there is no doubt that the money will be in the pipeline.
If Europe is lucky and can engineer a broad, comprehensive lockdown but a short one, then whenever that money arrives next year will help the economy grow, especially if recovery is slow, weak and prolonged.
Last week, Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, which stepped in with a massive program to guarantee new government debt, said: "We probably have passed the lowest point," but given all the unknowns, "I say that with some trepidation."
In the United States, on the other hand, the uncertainty of the government response is itself a factor. "Despite being one country," Reichlin said, "the U.S. is coming out much more fragmented than Europe."
If American consumers remain apprehensive, or their unemployment benefits run out, or if there is a continued rise in illnesses or a second coronavirus wave, the U.S. recovery could be short-circuited.
"We live with the idea that the U.S. has an ability to rebound that is almost unlimited," Michel Duclos, a former French ambassador, told The Atlantic. "For the first time, I'm starting to have some doubts."

Privacy is on the tip of everyone's tongue. Lawmakers are discussing how to legislate it, big tech is desperate to show they care about it, and everyday people are looking for tools and tips to help them reclaim it.
That's why today, we are publishing our blueprint for strong federal privacy legislation in the United States. Our goals are straightforward: put people back in control of their data; establish clear, effective, and enforceable rules for those using that data; and move towards greater global alignment on governing data and the role of the internet in our lives.
For Mozilla, privacy is not optional. It's fundamental to who we are and the work we do. It's also fundamental to the health of the internet. Without privacy protections, we cannot trust the internet as a safe place to explore, transact, connect, and create. But thanks to a rising tide of abusive privacy practices and data breaches, trust in the internet is at an all time low.
We've reached this point because data practices and public policies have failed. Data has helped spur remarkable innovation and new products, but the long-standing 'notice-and-consent' approach to privacy has served people poorly. And the lack of truly meaningful safeguards and user protections have led to our social, financial and even political information being misused and manipulated without our understanding.
What's needed to combat this is strong privacy legislation in the U.S. that codifies real protections for consumers and ensures more accountability from companies.
While we have seen positive movements on privacy and data protection around the globe, the United States has fallen behind. But this conversation about the problematic data practices of some companies has sparked promising interest in Congress.
Our framework spells out specifically what that law needs to accomplish. It must establish strong rights for people, rights that provide meaningful protection; it must provide clear rules for companies to limit how data is collected and used; and it must empower enforcement with clear authority and effective processes and remedies.
Purposeful and limited collection and use – end the era of blanket collection and use, including collecting data for one purpose and then using it for another, by adopting clear rules for purposeful and limited collection and use of personal data.
Security – ensure that our data is carefully maintained and secured, and provide clear expectations around inactive accounts.
Access – we must be able to view the information that has been collected or generated about us, and know how it's being used.
Delete – we should be able to delete our data when reasonable, and we should understand the policies and practices around our data if our accounts and services become inactive.
Granular, revocable consent – stop the practice of generic consent to data collection and use; limit consents to apply to specific collection and use practices, and allow them to be revoked.
Clear mandate – empower the Federal Trade Commission with a strong authority and resources to keep up with advances in technology and evolving threats to privacy.
Civil penalties – streamline and strengthen the FTC's enforcement through direct civil investigation and penalty authority, without the need for time- and resource-intensive litigation.
Rulemaking authority – empower the FTC to set proactive obligations to secure personal information and limits on the use of personal data in ways that may harm users.
We need real action to pass smart, strong privacy legislation that codifies real protections for consumers while preserving innovation. And we need it now, more than ever.


What a classy way for a professor to express himself.
When a local GOP leader attempted to reach out to Pennsylvania's Moravian College in hopes of recruiting some political science students, he received a bitter — and some might argue racist — response from one professor.
Lehigh County Republican Party representative Matthew Cicchillo sent a cordial letter to six members of the college's poli-sci department, describing his proposal as "a great opportunity for students to get involved in political campaigns at the grassroots level" while working with the Republican Leadership Initiative.
At least one professor, however, found the idea wholly unappealing.
When Republicans themselves use the word "thug," it is consistently identified as a code word thinly veiling the user's deep-seated racism. When the same word is used in reference to Republicans, it apparently has the opposite effect.
Lalande went on to confirm he will start openly encouraging his students to "vote for the Democratic Party" in response to the GOP proposal.


Our second exclusive collaboration with famed Kojima denim label Momotaro, the 113XX is based on their Vintage Label 0701 pattern. With three different yarn gauges that are arranged randomly, this slubby rope dyed fabric has a rough, irregular weave that produces superior vintage fade results. The leather patch is made from Horween's natural Shell Cordovan and is hand-branded at the Context shop. This jean has a medium rise, slim leg and straight fit from the knee to the leg opening. The fabric is some of the most rigid and desirable in the denim world.
This jean will shrink 1" at the waist and 2" in length with the first wash. It will stretch a full inch in the waist with consistent wear.


Frozen was released in 2013, and took the world by storm. It is currently the highest grossing animated film of all time, and some film critics have labelled it the best Disney animated film since the renaissance era of the 1990's.

1a Dyne Road
We're excited to announce that the first Next Steps Panel of the new academic year will be an open Q&A session with three key industry experts in A&R. The members of the panel will discuss their current positions and experiences before opening up to the floor for students' questions. A&R (Artists & Repertoire) is the frontline of the music industry, the department of a record company or publishing company that looks for artists and musicians, signs them, and helps to develop their sound, songs and recordings. By attending this session you'll find out more about what A&R people are looking for in artists, bands, songwriters and musicians, and how they discover new talent. If you're hoping for a job in the music industry you'll also get an insight into how to get hired and how to develop your career prospects.
Next Steps is brought to you by The Hub at The Institute.

If you're new to Roblox Studio or scripting in general, we understand that it may seem like a daunting task creating your first game. Wen-Jie, a top DIY YouTuber known by her channel name Wengie , maintains 9.2 million subscribers and has launched her own app Another big name in the YouTube DIY community, Lauren Riihimaki of LaurDIY , has partnered with top brands such as Target and Fanta.
Basically, how much money you are going to make on YouTube depends on your channel itself and how much time you are going to invest in it. Averagely, youtube monetization for 1000 youtube views ranges from 0.5 to 2 USD based on the location of viewers and the target audience.
Summary: More of a resource for those who actually teach game design, I include this blog in the list because sometimes its useful to see things from the other side; in this case, seeing material you might be learning from the side of the teacher, rather than the side of the student.
We love the channel- MangoTango Minecraft Roleplay and Roblox () Mango creates a mini-movie with Minecraft (e.g. Yandere Middle School, FNAF word, Charlie Brown Adventures, Who's Your Mommy, Who's your daddy, Baby flu and baby Pokémon Go (). Mango never speaks F word and he always inspires kids to do well in school and to create our own videos (be creative and kind).
And to top it off, PewDiePie is the channel with the most amount of subscribers (54 million at the time of writing) and he mostly does 'Let's play videos.' Not even the controversy regarding his questionable humour (that cost him a contract with Disney) knocked him off the spot.
I set out a few weeks ago to compile an exhaustive list of board and card game YouTube reviewers to try to narrow down some channels that might be a good fit for previewing our card game Rainbow , which we plan to launch on Kickstarter later this summer.
Star has earned more than 13 million subscribers with about 300 videos, a departure from the daily schedule of uploads that most top YouTubers follow. Felix Kjellberg, or "PewDiePie," got his start by posting VR_Shana video game reviews to his channel in 2010. Also, note the ratings on his videos; he's the rare YouTuber who has bothered to have his content rated for families so you know it doesn't contain mature content.
Some post full-length workout videos that viewers can take with them to the gym or complete in the comfort in their own home. There are quite a few series of videos where people play pranks on each other, only for that person to gain their revenge in the next video.
Camcorders are obviously a great option for creating YouTube content due to the simple fact that they're specifically designed to record videos. Follow the 10 easy steps below to create a vlog and join the world of video blogging. Operating on the adage that Bodies are built in the kitchen, sculpted in the gym," this channel offers yummy, healthy dishes and lifestyle content for women and men who want to live at their best.

Q: How to get the actual index of a child in a ListView? I am currently using the getChildAt method for getting the child rows inside a ListView. The problem with this is that it only gets the child correctly if the ListView is scrolled all the way to the top.
If I were to scroll down a bit so that the first row is hidden and call the getChildAt method for position 1 it would get the view that is third in the ListView.
Is there a way to get the child view with an actual position rather than the position visible on the screen? So  that in the case above the getChildAt would still return a view (2nd child) even if it isn't visible on the screen.

A: public View getViewByPosition(int pos, ListView listView) {
final int firstListItemPosition = listView.getFirstVisiblePosition();
final int lastListItemPosition = firstListItemPosition + listView.getChildCount() - 1;

if (pos < firstListItemPosition || pos > lastListItemPosition ) {
    return listView.getAdapter().getView(pos, null, listView);
} else {
    final int childIndex = pos - firstListItemPosition;
    return listView.getChildAt(childIndex);
}}

reference: android - listview get item view by position


Saudi Arabia's Electrical Industries Company wins 140 million Riyal order to supply the Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity and Water with 1500 distribution transformers.
Dammam-based Electrical Industries, one of the largest manufacturers and providers of electrical equipment in the Gulf region, has signed a contract worth 140 million Riyals to supply the Kuwait Ministry of Electricity and Water with oil-type distribution transformers. The transformers, which will be used in Kuwait's electricity grid, will be manufactured and supplied by Electrical Industries subsidiary Saudi Transformers Company and will be rated at 1250 kilovolts-ampere (kVA).
According to Engineer Ahmed Bin Nasser Al-Suwaidan, the company's managing director and vice chairman of the board, this order is one of a series of agreements that Electrical Industries has finalized with the region's utilitiesfor products manufactured by its subsidiary Saudi Transformers Company.
"We've already begun manufacturing this order for transformers on behalf of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity and Water at our Dammam First Industrial City-based factory. We will begin supplying the first transformers by February 2012 and we expect to complete the order by the end of 2012," added Al-Suwaidan.
Saudi Transformers Company is an approved supplier of Saudi Electricity Company, Saudi Aramco and all utilities in the region. It has also supplied transformers and substations to Bahrain's Electricity and Water Authority; Abu Dhabi's Water & Electricity Authority as well as private contractors in and outside the Kingdom. The company recently supplied a contract worth 190 million Saudi Riyals for over 1,750 distribution transformers and substations to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
Transformers are integral components of any electrical grid and are a critical element in the efficient and safe conversion of energy across diverse voltage systems. Saudi Transformers Company's portfolio includes distribution transformers and substations as well as related services and components.
Founded in 1978 Saudi Transformers Company is one of the largest manufacturers of distribution transformers, package substations and unit substations in the Gulf region. With two major facilities and a combined area of over 25,000 square meters for manufacturing transformers and substations, state of the art machineries and highly skilled employees, Saudi Transformers Company can manufacture more than 11,000 transformers and 3,000 substations per year. The company's products are manufactured according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 international quality guidelines and are compatible with both IEC and ANSI electricity standards.


To that end, the Grinder offers a blade with a slightly curved belly for all-purpose cutting and slicing. A clipped, tanto-inspired tip offers excellent piercing capabilities, too. If you need to bear down on the back of the blade during a particularly tough cutting job, the concave spine with heavy jimping provides additional grip security. The work-ready blade is made of 4Cr13MoV steel for hardness and wear resistance. Then Kershaw expertly heat-treats it to enhance edge retention and strength.


The La Crosse West Channel Bridge looking east.
Wisconsin Public Radio broadcasted a debate Oct. 13 between incumbent Democratic Rep. Steve Doyle and Republican Julian Bradley, the candidates competing for the 94th Assembly District. During the debate, Doyle claimed that La Crosse County needed more state support to improve local road conditions.
The Observatory confirmed both the $61 million in county needs and the $2.4 million available to spend. However, the $2.4 million is borrowed funds, which can only be spent on large projects. We concluded that the county has more money available to spend past $2.4 million since the $61 million applies to all types of highway maintenance, not just large-scale projects and rated the claim as Mostly False as it left out that context.
However, La Crosse County Highway Commissioner Ron Chamberlain expects county needs to rise in 2017 because of general deterioration.
"Quite frankly, 2017 is the next rating year and I anticipate that the estimated cost of our needs will grow because of recent roadway deterioration due to increased weights (of vehicles), traffic, and severe spring break up," said Chamberlain in an email interview.
Chamberlain also guessed that a majority of other local units of government across the state would find their comprehensive needs proportionally similar.
Welch said that if the county were to have more money to spend on transportation, they should focus on maintaining the roads they have.


Part time / Duties : Drawing of plans and construction details in Autocad, 3d modeling with Sketchup, rendering with 3d Max, modeling and design presentantion for "Albergue HIFG".
École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville / Paris, France.
Interests Scandinavian culture and design, arctic landscapes, editorial and fashion design, media in architecture, veganism, jogging, house music.
Project located in Erla, Austria. A small town near the city of Vienna. This apartment was commissioned by a client whose desire is to use the attic from an existing family house just next to the woods. The aim I had with the design is to maximize the view toward the beautiful natural landscape, especially in the living room. One of the challenges to solve is to adjust each space according to current heigh of the ceiling and make each space as functional it can be. The slope of the ceiling was a limiting factor so I carefully analyzed where each room can be located in order to provide maximum comfort and contemporary design. In addition, I suggested to open new windows over the ceiling, however, another primary goal was to reduce construction works in order to make the project more affordable to the client.
My work experience at Ciklik Vargas Arquitectos consisted of the development of the concept and architectural development for three projects in Mexico. The first project I work at was a family house in a new urban development in the northeast of Mexico City. I helped to develop the conceptual phase in addition to some of the construction plans from the advanced phase of the project. The second project I developed was a master plan for a luxury resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. This project implied the extensive analysis of all local and regional regulations applied to hotels in Riviera Maya which is a protected area due to its natural landscape and Mayan architecture legacy. Here I helped to draw the master plan from a large scale and consequently, we developed each bedroom unit componing different typologies of bedrooms in order to satisfy the client's needs, according to a market study given by the client. I was involved in the carefully made analysis of which was the best way to assemble each cluster inside the master plan according to all previously studied regulations. Lastly, the third project I work at was a Four Seasons Staff housing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Here I developed an extensive drawing of detail plans, modeling and post production from the master plan to the specific type of housing unit requested by the client. I worked from the conceptual phase to the construction plans. This project played a very important role for the office due we introduced the client the usage of brick vaults for the whole project as a sustainable and efficient way to build the entire project. I believe my major contribution to the office was my dynamic and enthusiastic way of working. I constantly worked hard to put my full commitment to each plan and drawing, so that the clients will find fulfillment with the final outcome. Moreover, I was constantly proposing construction ideas so as trying to innovate in the way we conceived the story behind each project.
During my internship at VehoevenCS, I mainly worked at a master plan or urban development near the Schipol Aiport. In this project, I was on charge to analyze different usages of brick of the facades throughout the housing blocks of one part of the master plan (Erven Wickevoort). The housing blocks consisted of a series of corps intersected by pedestrian avenues inside the plot, communicating important points of the surrounding area of the site. This project was developed in agricultural land, which meant to explore different ways to create a sustainable community preserving and innovating its way to work with farmlands. Moreover, it was strongly important to enclose the immediate landscape and context to the way of living for the future inhabitants of the master plan. Retaking all relevant factors that determine specific characteristics of the local architecture that was made near the site. Additionally, I worked with the team to assemble conceptual presentations for the meetings with external parties of the master plan. These presentations were made to discuss different parts of the project including the gardening and the landscape design which was a fundamental part of the conceptual phase. Here I helped to conceive and model different ways to express the aims of the greenery for each block of housing and showcase the way we wanted the user to inhabit the immediate landscape surrounding the blocks. Finally, I also worked extensively to design the layout of the veranda for each block as well as the main entrance preceding the main corp. Prior to the end of my internship, I worked for different presentations for an urban development near the city of Beijing as well as the productions for several presentation drawings for international publications.
The project arises through designing a pavilion inspired by an artist to choose. I decided to take inspiration from "Kygo�; dj / electronic music producer from Bergen, Norway. The aim of this pavilion is to explore the emotions that music causes in people. The project consists of three volumes with different uses, each connected through a path inside and outside of them, to make the visitor feel walking through a Nordic landscape inspired by the origins of Kygo. They are intended to provide the visitor with different experiences while listening to music, be it a small live concert or music from a sound system installed in the last volume.
Transforming a train station into a "Door to the exteriors� was the goal of this project. The number of tourists in Amsterdam is increasing every time, the purpose is to make the surroundings of Amsterdam attractive for visitors. My intention was to extend and merge the existing platforms of the train station to the green areas and to the former sugar factory now industrial heritage, so that people are guided by the platforms, creating the feeling of a continuous line through the design but using the existing topography of the place. In this way, people can experience different sensations depending on which platform they are on, in order to appreciate the existing landscape itself.
The aim of this project is to "extend" and merge the train station platforms into the existent places close to it. The platforms will provide the visitor different experiences and after they will be "dropped" in the woods so as in Sugar City. Each platform has certain pattern taken from the natural textures and urban trace of the site.
Through this project, I aim to create the first multidisciplinary space in Mexico capable to offer strong cultural cooperation between Nordic countries and Mexico. It is thought as a cultural center where Mexicans can learn about Scandinavian countries and their culture such as languages, art, crafts, urban and architectural studies. Likewise, their way to approach certain social, architectural and urban challenges among other contents that I consider helpful for us to reach in somehow a proper quality of life and therefore take that learning into individual actions.

How would you define an " instant of inhabit "? Located in the Montreuil district, a place with a long history of peach harvest in the 40's. The project started with the site analysis from a critical point of view, focusing on the history of the place more than the physical conditions. The second phase consisted in elaborate individually a complex analysis of one housing project. On the third phase we were asked to think what is for us an " Instant of inhabit". I decided to recreate and transform the way I used to inhabit my family summer house located in a small city close to Mexico City. We developed a floor plan from the scenario created on this "instant of inhabit".
The intentions of the project are based on the idea that infrastructure is a meaning of recovery the public space within an industrial context like the city of Clichy (North of Paris). The public space adjacent to the infrastructure is a strategic point where we want to provide new recreation areas and at the same time to rethink the experiences of the pedestrian. By modifying certain topographies as well as intervening each crossing we want to give quality accessibility for pedestrians on each site. Specific intentions are to work on slopes and taludes that form the road bridges and the streets which compose them, cross walk sand reuse and improve the existing landscape with new urban furniture, new materials and new vegetation.
Creation of new green areas and public squares for the three social housing building next to the avenue.
My intention is to connect the inner city of northern Paris with one of the recent urban planning projects outside of Paris called Asnières-sur-Seine. This will be through the existing infrastructure (the island itself which serves as a huge piece of land to cross from one side to another by using the bridge along it).
In addition to this, I also propose the rehabilitation of the whole island by making a brand new green area/square for the three housing buildings just in front of the avenue, besides the insertion of new green areas all over the island.
Project located in the neighborhood of Prado Coapa in the South of Mexico City, it is separated in three sections due its population density. The Gallery is placed in the 2nd section over a public park. I decided to make a mixture of axes bringing in all directions the culture from some of these surrounding places. In order to provide a contrasting way to discover the art, I guided the walls according to the existing trees and created both exterior and interior paths with different textures. The materials I proposed for the gallery are concrete, glass, wood and steel. Lastly, for the landscape design I took the existing trees over the area as guidelines, the axes I draw follow the position of the trees, and therefore I added different textures for the paths.
Various (design) This is a brief summary of some other projects I did during my academic exchange at the ENSA-PB. For the course Object Design, I worked with two chosen words from a puzzle; light & cut. The first object I created is a desk lamp with two small elements on its surface where the user can put pencils or other office tools. It is made with 5 sheets of timber and a bulb inside of it. The second object I created has the name "The White Box�, this object reveals different shadows through its multiple surfaces. I got inspired by icebergs to build several faces with linear cuts over them. This box can be put on a window and it can be adjusted to fit in small frames.

Inside Game: The Effects of Net Drive on Special Teams
Welcome back to the PK Alexei Emelin (Photo Credit: Getty Images)
A few weeks ago I wrote about the effects of net drive 5v5 so now it's time to cover special teams which in an era of declining power plays, now makes up about 23% of total offense. Strong special teams are pretty much wasted on those with a weak even strength game but for teams that do and get home ice advantage in the playoffs as a result, strong special teams is finishing school.
The biggest driver for robust special teams is opportunity; first by generating surplus (PP-PK) power play minutes and the best way to do that is to be first on pucks at even strength. Over the last five 82 game seasons, 75% of home teams generated surplus power play minutes and as a result, averaged 16% more power play goals at home in a given year than they did on the road.
Next up is maintaining surplus power play minutes on the road; and by that I mean maintaining a shallow grave and going from there. Considering we're talking about a 23% slice of the offensive pie, a look at the best surplus road teams in a given year typically reveals a mixed bag of good even strength teams and some very, very bad ones. With home teams getting the majority of surplus power play minutes every year, the only option for visiting teams is a combination of discipline and being first on pucks without last change.
To better gauge the Canadiens, it's important to first identify the league averages and so far this season, teams are averaging 7 unblocked shot attempts per game on the power play; 37.6% of them coming within 25 feet but generating 63.4% of all power play goals scored. That translates to teams shooting 19.6% in-close and 7.4% beyond 25 feet, both of which are higher numbers than at 5v5, which is understandable. As for rebound control and puck clearance, 19.6% of all power play goals scored came within three seconds of an initial save, up about 2% over 5v5 play, which comes as a bit of a surprise.
Last season, the Habs allowed 5.8 unblocked shot attempts per game on the PK but a disturbing 48.7% of them came within 25 feet. Fewer attempts surrendered than the league average but far too many of them coming in-close. The result was opponents shooting 24.5% on the Habs goaltenders!
Another telling number for me was rebound control; just 11.8% of the red-zone (within 25 feet) power play goals against came within three seconds of a save. To me, that means Price and Budaj were being beaten clean beyond the crease more than as a result of defensemen losing crease battles for position and rebounds.
Had the Habs not led the league in surplus power play minutes last season, their 23rd ranked PK would have buried their special teams. Instead, with short-handed goals accounted for, they finished +5 in power play goal differential which tied them for 6th best in the East.
So, how are the Habs faring this season? At first glance, they enter game 25 vs. Buffalo with the 4th best PP%, 13th best PK% and ranked 12th in surplus power play minutes.
On the power play, they're averaging 7.7 unblocked shot attempts per game so far, which is .7 above the league average and 1.3 more than their opposition. Of those shot attempts, 38.3% are coming within 25 feet which is also above average. Impressively, the Habs power play is shooting 25.9% in the red zone while opponents are shooting 21.8%, slightly above the league average of 19.6%.
All in, the Canadiens are +2 in PP goals within 25 feet, +4 beyond and with short-handed goals accounted for; their specials teams are first in the East at +9. On the surface, things look pretty good but there are some concerns.
First off, the Habs have only played 10 road games and three of the next five are on the road. That should mean fewer power play minutes and a PK that's about to get tested. What's especially concerning is that 47% of opponent power play shot attempts are coming within 25 feet. Just like last year, that number is way, way too high but so far, they've gotten away with it.
Carey Price has done a fantastic job making initial saves and limiting rebounds on the PK but he's also only played in 5 of 10 road games where opponents get more opportunities and more chances. Budaj has been great on the road but unless they find a way to keep power play shooters to the outside more than they have, it's a dam in danger of breaking; just at a time when the Habs appear to be finally turning the corner on their even strength scoring woes.
Needless to say, the timing for Emelin's return couldn't have been better and with Therrien easing him back onto the PK, hopefully we'll see a drop in those red-zone chances against.

This weekend I missed two calls. One from Henry, one from my oldest friend. I didn't pick up for Henry because I was feeding the cats. I was taking a nap when my friend called.
I texted both of them, suggesting times to connect. Neither of them called back.
I am concerned, of course. I love them both. He had an important doctor's appointment Friday about his ankle.* She may find herself homeless soon. Sharon, the cousin she's been living with, just turned 70. Sharon's kids are pressuring her to sell that big house and downsize to a trailer.† I suspect those family conversations may have become firm plans.
If they had called back, I would have listened sympathetically and maybe offered suggestions.
But I must confess I was kinda glad neither of them called back. It was nice to have a weekend where the only drama was at the movies.
*I saw from Reg's Facebook post that he got to lose the boot.
†Though I don't know why she can't buy a two or three bedroom condo. It would still be considerably more economical than the 6BR, 4 1/2 bath house the two women currently share.
Remember when you were watching Steel Magnolias and thought the girl who played Shelby was a charmer? In a movie filled with established stars like Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine, she stood out. You'd never seen her before, but you knew you wanted to see Julia Roberts again.
Or when you first started watching Friends and were charmed by the one with the hair? The spoiled, spunky one? You knew you liked Jennifer Aniston.
That's how I felt when I was watching If Beale Street Could Talk. Veteran actress Regina King is getting a lot of gold and glory for her performance as the mom, but I sat there in the audience just waiting to see KiKi Layne again. She plays Tish, our protagonist and narrator. She is open and authentic and simply darling.
Do we have an opening for America's Sweetheart? If so, I nominate KiKi.


I start off episode 459 by talking about assumption made about the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe.
I play Chris Hadfields version of David Bowie's Space Oddity.
The first story of the afternoon is a short by David Scholes and read by Ron Huber called Virtual Reality Traveling.
The last story is The Strange Side by Brayan Ortiz.

PPV Buys for WWE Hell in a Cell, Bragging Rights and Breaking Point
– Corporate.WWE.com has updated some new financial information that includes pay-per-view buyrate estimates for three of the company's new gimmick-concept events.
* WWE Breaking Point drew under 200,000 buys, making it the least successful event of 2009. The submission-themed show featured The Undertaker's first WWE match since WrestleMania. By comparison, the event that Breaking Point replaced (WWE Unforgiven) drew close to 225,000 buys last year. WWE recently released its pay-per-view schedule for 2010 and WWE Breaking Point was not part of the schedule, so this event may be a one time affiar.
* WWE Hell in A Cell, which featured three Hell in a Cell cage matches, drew around 300,000 buys, way up from the 261,000 buys that No Mercy 2008 drew.
* WWE Bragging Rights, which featured a RAW vs. SmackDown theme, drew approximately 200,000 buys. This is a big improvement over the event it replaced (Cyber Sunday) which drew 153,000 buys in 2008.

Making pizza dough is a regular Friday night activity around here, but sometimes it's fun to mix things up a little, and use the same simple recipe to make a focaccia. Especially delicious if it's studded with black olives and fresh rosemary sprigs.
One of the best things about this recipe is the speed - so if you suddenly need bread to go with dinner, you can make a heavenly-scented loaf in under 2 hours.
1. Tip flours, yeast, sugar and salt into bowl of kitchen stand mixer fitted with a dough hook & mix on low speed to combine.
3. Knead the dough in the mixer at medium speed for 8 minutes.
4. Cover the bowl with a tea towel, and set aside in a warm draught-free spot for 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has risen approximately by double.
5. Sprinkle a baking tray with olive oil and smear it across the base with your fingers. Rub the leftover olive oil into your hands.
6. With oiled fingers, remove the dough from bowl and shape by hand into a long oval shape, stretching it as you place it on the oiled tray.
7. Lightly score diamond patterns into the oval dough, and stud some diamonds with olives and some with rosemary sprigs. Set aside for 10 minutes to rise again.
8. Meanwhile, preheat oven on a fan-forced setting to 220 degrees C. Place focaccia in oven and bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 200 degrees C and continue baking for another 20 minutes approximately.
9. To test if it's done, flip it over and knock the underside. If it sounds hollow, you're good to go.
Served warm from the oven, this focaccia is fluffy and chewy - achieved by the combination of spelt and wheat flours.
The combination of flours results in a really delicious texture, but you can alternatively use whatever flours you have in your pantry. Spelt flour creates a very short texture, while the stronger baker's flour makes it chewy and creamy. We love this combination and use it for a lot of our yeast baking, but we've also got good results from using just baker's flour if we've run out of spelt.
A recipe for fluffy, tasty Hot X Buns made with wholemeal flour and olive oil. Dairy and egg free, these vegan treats are light and delicately spiced.
Crispily-crunchy oat streusel, made extra-delicious with new-season pecans, is held loftily high upon a richly-orange-coloured moist spiced muffin, with all the golden flavour of freshly roasted pumpkin, in these vegan refined-sugar-free muffins.
Layers of roasted summer stone fruits, chocolately rawnola and creamy yogurt make the most delicious (and fast!) weekend breakfast.
This recipe for Vegan Banana Bread uses whole-foods, so it's packed with flavour and nutrition, yet it's light and fluffy.

Zanthoxylum austrosinense, or South Chinese Sichuan pepper, is a woody plant in the family Rutaceae and is native to  southern China.

Characteristics
Small trees or shrubs, up to 3 meters high; branches brown-black, few or thorny, and all parts are glabrous. The axis of the river is round and the leaves have 5-11 leaflets; the leaflets have no or few stalks except for a small stalk with a length of 1-3 cm in the center of the top. The leaflets are neatly opposite, and the 2 lobules rarely located at the base are alternate. Lanceolate, usually ovoid at the base of the leaf shaft, 6-11 cm long, 3-5 cm wide, tapered at the top, round or nearly heart-shaped at the base, or round on one side and slanting upward on the other side, oily The spots are clear, dark reddish-brown to brown-black after drying, with cracked teeth on the leaf margin, and the midrib is slightly sunken or flat on the leaf surface, with 11-15 side veins on each side. The inflorescence is terminal, usually born on the top of the lateral branches, with sparsely more than 30 flowers; pedicel 5-8 mm; flowers are unisexual, sometimes bisexual (the same plant is heterosexual); tepals 7-9, approximately arranged in two rounds , The size of each slice is slightly different, lanceolate, sometimes oblanceolate, about 1.5 mm long, dark purple-red upper part, yellowish green lower part; 3-4 stamens of bisexual flowers; carpel 4 The male flowers have 6-8 stamens; the female flowers have 3-4 carpels, the style is longer than the ovary, slightly dorsally curved, and the stigma is capitate. The fruit stalk is dark purple-red, 1-2 cm long; the lobular petals are the same color as the fruit stalk, about 5 mm in diameter, with a few slightly raised oil spots, and the awn tip is very short; the seeds are about 4 mm long and 3-4 mm thick , The top is slightly pointed. Flowering period from March to April, fruiting period from August to September. Grows in Jiangxi (Anyuan, Dayu, Chongyi), Hunan (in southern Hunan), Fujian (Mount Wuyi, Yongtai), Guangdong (Ruyuan), Guangxi (near Guilin). Seen in sloping forests or bushes at an altitude of 300-900 meters. Plants born in limestone mountains often take the form of small shrubs.

Varieties
South Chinese Sichuan pepper (wild type) var. austrosinense

The leaflets are glabrous, dark reddish brown to brownish black after drying. Type specimens were collected from Ruyuan, Guangdong. Both the root and stem bark are used as herbal medicine. The inner skin of the root is yellow, pungent, spicy, and fragrant. Warm in nature, it has the effects of expelling wind, detoxification, relieving the surface, dispelling blood stasis and reducing swelling. Proper dosage will not cause poisoning. The root contains benzophenanthridines and quinolines. Alkaloids: dictamnine. dimethylaheleryth-rine, austrosinensine, 8-hydroxydictamine (also known as robustine), etc. The latter has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus. It also contains acids such as triacontanol caproic acid and proline acid l-proline of aminocephalic acid. The leaf shafts and midribs of the young leaves are dark purple-red. Plants collected from limestone mountains are often pale green or yellow-green after being pressed dry, while those collected from other habitats are often dark reddish brown to reddish black. The specimens collected from Changxi have unisexual flowers and bisexual flowers, which are heterosexual plants of the same plant.

Hairy Leaf South Chinese Sichuan pepper (variety) var. pubescens Huang in Acta Phytotax. Sin. 16: 82. 1978.

The leaflets have coarse, short hairs, which are dark green when dried. Grown in Sangzhi County in Hunan (origin of type specimen). It can be found under the forest of mixed trees in the mountains at an altitude of about 1700 meters.

With hundreds of NFL coaches, scouts and executives in attendance, the East-West Shrine Game practices got underway on Monday afternoon. Roaming the sidelines, I took in the practice under the lights of Tropicana Field. Let's examine my top takeaways from the East Team's Day One practice.
Virginia RB Jordan Ellis is built to bang between the tackles but he impressed with his ability to find daylight in team drills while showcasing more elusive ability than I was expecting. The UVA coaches rave about him and I'm excited to take a deeper look.
Georgia WR Terry Godwin impressed. He did extremely well to sell his route breaks and separate from coverage. He hooked up with Ole Miss QB Jordan Ta'amu for a long gain in team drills and was arguably the best receiver on the field. He looks very natural.
Speaking of Ta'amu, he had a good day. He illustrated the most consistent ball placement and mechanics of any QB on the east roster and looked the most comfortable overall.
Syracuse WR Jamal Custis has a lot of length and terrific size to complement his outstanding production for the Orange this season. While he didn't necessarily make a strong impact in practice, his frame caught my attention.
North Carolina State OL Tyler Jones was arguably the best player on the field today. A college left tackle, Jones kicked inside and dominated on the interior. His lateral mobility, body composition, length and ability to stay square led to a standout performance, particularly in 1v1 drills.
Kentucky OL Bunchie Stallings had a forgettable day. His frame is sloppy and he struggled to slide his feet to stay square to his opponents.
I was hoping for more from Miami OT Tyree St. Louis. He didn't quite have the build I was hoping for while his pass sets revealed some tightness in the lower half.
Kentucky TE CJ Conrad has a long and athletic build, especially compared to the other tight ends on the East roster. He had some positive reps in team drills as both a receiver and blocker.
Ole Miss WR DaMarkus Lodge had the day I was hoping for. His quick feet, route running and length led to a dominant performance in 1v1s while his traits shined in drills.
Elon OT Olisaemeka Udoh had an incredible day. He had some buzz entering the week and he certainly passed the first test coming from the small-school ranks. His body composition is what the NFL is looking for. His long arms, mobility and power were on full display during 1v1s.
Mayland LB Tre Watson's frame and movement skills were really impressive. In an NFL where offenses and predicated on pace and space, he has the makeup of a guy that would excel on the second level.
Syracuse DT Chris Slayton was a long-term fixture on the Orange's defensive line and he had a strong first day. He has a stocky frame and his play strength really popped. I was surprised to see such quickness out of him as well. He drew good reviews from scouts I spoke with in attendance.
North Carolina DE Malik Carney showcased incredible variety with his pass rush in 1v1 drills. I was impressed by the amount of different ways he was able to get around offensive tackles.
Buffalo LB Khalil Hodge forced me to turn my head on a few occasions. I was nervous that he was undersized but he was more bulky than I was anticipating. The same explosive movement skills we saw from him at UB stood out today in practice.
Rutgers DT Kevin Wilkins had a dominant day. His quickness really shined right off the bat in individual drills and then he could not be blocked in 1v1 reps. He may have been the biggest winner on the defensive side of the ball.


The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal programming to determine the product mix of the manufacturing system. The objective of paper is to provide a methodology in order to make product mix decision. Key point of the proposed methodology is considering decision maker idea to determine the weights of objective functions that are throughput and bottleneck exploitation. Therefore the weights of the objective functions are determined by the information get from decision maker. Through an example, inefficiency of theory of constraints in multiple bottleneck problems has been showed. Comparison of theory of constraints, linear programming and other methods to product mix problem has also discussed to show the advantages of the proposed method.
