E-Commerce Growth Drives Collaborative Innovation in Automated Bin-Picking and Packaging
Productivity 22. September 2017 / by Universal Robots Share
Online sales show no sign of slowing and the growth is driving demand for fulfillment operations to pack and ship all those ordered goods. The work is repetitive, however, and requires high accuracy to reduce costly errors or returns. That means that jobs in picking and packaging items for shipping aren't particularly desirable, especially in tight labor markets. These tasks are ideal for automation, but there are challenges. While repetitive, packaging applications are also highly variable, requiring the ability to recognize and pick a wide range of items, in different sizes, weights, and materials. And human workers are typically still needed for upstream and downstream processes that are often performed right next to the packaging operation.
With that combination, collaborative robots fit the bill perfectly.
Cobots offer low upfront costs, flexible implementation, and easy programming for developers who are rapidly creating innovative new systems to optimize bin-picking and packaging. And with no need for safety guarding (after risk assessment), they are ideal for collaborative operations next to human workers.
Watch the innovative bin-picking and packaging solutions from RightHand Robotics, Accutech Packaging, and Eurosort:
E-Commerce Growth Drives Collaborative Innovation in Automated Bin-Picking and Packaging.
RIGHTHAND ROBOTICS FINDS THE "HOLY GRAIL" OF FLEXIBLE GRIPPING
RightHand Robotics, based in Somerville, Massachusetts, has created a complete solution that includes a Universal Robots (UR) robot arm, computer-vision, and machine-learning systems, as well as an innovative gripper that can pick up a wide range of objects in an unstructured environment such as a bin or tote. Co-founder Leif Jentoft refers to this flexible grasping as "the holy grail" in robotics research: piece-picking that delivers "The Three 'R's" – range of items, rate of picking, and reliability of the customer getting what they ordered."
RightHand Robotics team member Nadia Cheng explains that robots have traditionally been used in manufacturing to perform the same task millions of times. In the supply chain industry, however, with millions of different items in the warehouse, the robot might be doing each task just once, but for a million different things. "It's not reasonable for a warehouse to have 3D models of all the items in the warehouse. The real challenge is to enable robots to pick things that it's never seen before, just as a person can."
The RightHand Robotics system can run on any robot arm, but Cheng says that many customers prefer UR robot arms because they are collaborative and safe to work side-by-side with humans in warehouse environments. "To have collaborative arms that are as easy to work with as the UR arms give us a very accessible solution," Cheng says. She adds, "I was blown away by how easy it was to use, and how elegant the whole process was."
ACCUTECH PACKAGING INCREASES FULFILLMENT PRODUCTIVITY BY 8-10X
The RightHand Robotics technology has also been incorporated into multiple other logistics systems, such as the Autofulfillment™ SPrint™ System from Accutech Packaging in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The system automates the outbound bagging, labeling, sorting, and shipping of merchandise such as health and beauty aids, electronics, and office products.
Mike Keneally, vice president of Accutech Packaging, explains the advantages of automating these processes for e-commerce retailers or pharmacies. "They are manually opening bags, loading product into it, printing a packing slip, putting it in the bag, and then applying a shipping label. All of that is very time-consuming. On average, a packer can operate at 65 to 85 packages an hour. With our technology, we are able to increase the productivity of an individual packer to something like 600 packages an hour." That's an 8X to nearly 10X improvement in productivity, which is critical to meet consumer demands for fast product fulfillment. The RightHand Robotics system combines a fingered gripper with a suction cup along with a UR robot arm to provide a system that is reliable and fast to meet the 600 packages-per-hour goals.
Accutech's Keneally says that the market demand for this system is phenomenal. "Everything is moving online, and so they're looking for better ways of packaging their items, particularly when it is so difficult to find many people to work for them," Keneally states. "Adding that robotic technology is significant to enable our customers to really fulfill their customers' requirements."
Nadia Cheng, a team member with RightHand Robotics, explains how her company has developed a complete piece-picking solution for the supply-chain industry.
Vice president of Accutech Packaging, Mike Keneally, explains how a tight labor market makes Accutech's solution even more appealing to e-commerce retailers.
EUROSORT ADDRESS LABOR SHORTAGE WITH COLLABORATIVE ROBOTIC SORTING
Eurosort—based in Amsterdam and with North American operations in Baltimore, Maryland—is also using the RightHand Robotics system with its Bomb-Bay sorter (also known as a flatsorter or split-tray sorter). The system is used for high-throughput applications for lightweight items under 25 pounds, such as apparel, books, pharmaceuticals, polybags, and more. It can sort from 7,000 items to 30,000 items an hour.
Scott Eisenberg, a key account manager for Eurosort, is very familiar with the challenge of filling material-handling jobs, and how collaborative automation can help. "In the whole material-handling industry, there's a labor problem—either a labor shortage or quality of labor—and having robotic induction helps with that," he says. That's especially true when warehouses are located far from areas where workers live, and during peak seasons when it can be difficult to find and train workers.
The Rightpick system, inducting onto the EuroSort Split-Tray sorter, is designed to work alongside people. That makes the collaborative robot arm important. Eisenberg explains, "With a lot of other arms, you have to have a big cage, you have to kind of keep them away from the rest of the inductors. By using the UR arm, we can stand right next to it." Human workers can be inducted along with the robot, and not have to worry about their safety. "It's a really great collaborative effort between robot and person," he states.

Manufacturing Labor: The Crisis Continues
After wreaking havoc on our families, the economy, and the overall social fabric of countries around the world, COVID is abating. Or at least we are learning to live with a pandemic hanging over our collective heads. According to an article in Deloitte Insights, the North American economies are recovering, and demand is ahead of pre-COVID levels. All good – but what about manufacturing labor? When COVID exploded in March 2020, we were struggling to find workers, skilled or entry level, for manufacturing jobs in all industries. And where are we today? Deeper in the hole!

Hannover Highlights: Meet the most innovative human-robot collaborators
As German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mexican President Peña Nieto visited booths at the Hannover Messe, they echoed the now predominant tone at the world's largest industrial fair; when asked to greet a robot - instead of a formal handshake - both went for the casual fist bump, a symbol for the interaction of humans.


Can't say enough great things about this bag! It's everything I hoped it would be. Love that even though it's relatively small there are a ton of zipped pockets to keep all of your things organized. The price was perfect, color is great & I'm considering getting it in other colors as well!


Amazon Kindle Oasis Hiding Its Secret Bluetooth Audio Powers?
It might not be waterproof, but the Amazon Kindle Oasis does come with some ridiculous battery life and a grippy single-handed design. And while it rocks Wi-Fi like practically all the other e-readers in the Kindle family, it might also be boasting some other secret wireless connectivity in the form of Bluetooth, including possible support for Bluetooth audio.
Filings through the FCC have been unearthed for the Amazon Kindle Oasis, which was formally announced last week. The documents themselves may not name the Oasis specifically, but it seems pretty clear that they're talking about Amazon's newest ebook reader. They've got the same model numbers.
It's possible that the Bluetooth function has simply been disabled and Amazon could "flip a switch" with a software update to enable it. If this is the case, it means that you'd be able to use the text-to-speech function far more conveniently, even tapping into Audible audiobooks as a very real possibility. That or Amazon is just going to leave it dormant, because the WiFi chip they chose might happen to be one of those WiFi/BT combo chips. For now, we have no idea.
The Amazon Kindle Oasis is available for pre-order now for $290, including the leather charging cover. It starts shipping on April 27.

Sebelas Maret University Surakarta Faculty of Agriculture (Fakultas Pertanian UNS), established in 1976, is one of the leading state educational institutions in Central Java that produces professional and academic personnel in the field of agriculture.
Sebelas Maret University Faculty of Agriculture Surakarta was formerly known as Faculty of Agriculture Private University which was incorporated in the Joint University of Surakarta. Furthermore, it was inaugurated as a State University on March 11, 1976 by Republic of Indonesia Presidential Decree No. 10 of 1976, dated March 8, 1976 formerly named as Surakarta State University Eleven March shortened into UNS.
At the beginning of its birth, the UNS Faculty of Agriculture had two departments: Department of Agricultural Cultivation (Budidaya Pertanian) and Agricultural Socio-Economic Department (Sosial Ekonomi Pertanian). The Department of Agricultural Cultivation had two study programs: Agronomy and Soil Science (Ilmu Tanah), Agricultural Socio-Economics also had two study programs: Agricultural Economics (Ekonomi Pertanian) and Rural Sociology (Sosiologi Pedesaan) (Based on the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education No. 39 / Dikti / Kep / 1984, issued on June 20 1984). In subsequent developments in 1996 through the Directorate General of Higher Education Decree No. 222 / DIKTI / Kep / 1996 dated July 11, 1996, UNS Faculty of Agriculture was decided to have 4 Study Programs: Agronomy, Soil Science, Agricultural Socio-Economics (Agribusiness), Agricultural Counseling and Communication (Penyuluhan dan Komunikasi Pertanian); and since 1997 with the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education No. 446 / DIKTI / Kep / 1997 issued on December 5, 1997, added a Study Program: Livestock Production (Produksi Ternak). In accordance with the letter from the Directorate General of Higher Education Number: 2782 / D / T / 2004 which issued on July 16, 2004 regarding the permit for the implementation of the Agricultural Product Technology Study Program (S1) at UNS, then on Academic Year of 2004/2005 UNS Faculty of Agriculture opened a new study program: Agricultural Product Technology (Teknologi Hasil Pertanian).
To provide opportunities for Diploma I, II, and III graduates and to accommodate high school graduates who did not have the opportunity to take the State University Entrance Examination, students who have a strong desire to continue at Strata-1 level. Furthermore, since 1995 the Faculty of Agriculture has held Non-Regular Programs based on the Directorate General of Higher Education Decree No. 119 / DIKTI / KEP / 1996 and No. 443 / DIKTI / KEP / 1996, issued on 26 August 1996 for the Agricultural Agronomy and Socio-Economic Study Programs, and the Rector's Decree No. 128 / J27.PP / 1997, issued June 6 1997 for the Soil Science Study Program.
Along with the dynamics occurred in education world especially higher education or university level, started on 29 November 2007, the government through the Director General of Higher Education, Ministry of National Education issued Decree No. 163 / DIKTI / KEP / 2007 which explains the Structuring and Codification of Study Programs at University, therefor Faculty of Agriculture which previously had six Departments / Study Programs with the process of became four Study Programs, namely the Agrotechnology / Agroecotechnology Study Program (the result of merging Agronomy and Soil Science Study Programs), Agribusiness Study Program (the result of merging Agribusiness and Agricultural Counseling and Communication Study Programs).The rest were renamed, Agricultural Product Technology Study Program renamed to Food Science and Technology Study Program (Ilmu dan Teknologi Pangan) and Livestock Production Study Program renamed to Livestock Study Program (Perternakan).
In the 2013/2014 Academic Year by the Ministry of Education and Culture Decree Number: 115 / E / O / 2013 about the Permits Reestablishment to Operate Study Programs at Sebelas Maret University Surakarta, therefor Agricultural Counseling and Communication; and Soil Science Study Programs at the UNS Faculty of Agriculture was re-established and started to accept new students in the 2013/2014 Academic Year. Up to 2015, UNS Faculty of Agriculture had six undergraduate study programs: Agrotechnology, Agribusiness, Livestock, Food Science and Technology, Agricultural Counseling and Communication; and Soil Science. While, the Diploma III Study Program consists of two study programs: Agricultural Product Technology and Agribusiness study programs.

Walk - Land's End Hostel - Sennen Cove and Land's End
Land's End Hostel,Trevescan Land's End Hostel,Trevescan
Easy -
A walk with spectacular views and both wildlife and historical interest. You can vary the length and difficulty of the walk to suit your needs.
Lands End Hostel and B&B
Family run boutique Hostel and B&B, 1/2mile from Lands End. Great for walkers, cyclists, Lejog. Close to The Minack, St Just Airport & Sennen.
Sea View House
Long standing B&B offering comfortable accomodation, conveniently situated for Coast Path.
The architect designed Studio is located on the west side of Penberth valley in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 8 mins walk from the Path
Treen House B&B
Newly renovated vegetarian/Vegan, eco-friendly B&B in an unspoilt, magical location. All rooms en-suite. Use of guest lounge.
Bosavern House
Quality B&B accommodation on the dramatic Lands End peninsula. Close to the historic mining town of St Just. An ideal base to explore the beautiful surrounding area.
The Old Post House B&B
The Post House in St Just retains many original features. The rooms are comfortably tranquil with a classic vintage style. Facilities include free wifi, flat screen TV, hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities and bottled water.
Leave Land's End Hostel in Trevescan along the B3315 towards Land's End. Take care as there are no pavements on this section of road. At the junction with the A30 carefully cross the road and follow the public footpath, down a track past Treeve Moor House, through 3 fields towards Sennen Cove.
Nearing Sennen Cove, the path passes some houses and then changes to a tarmac surfaced road. When you reach the junction, turn right into Maria's Lane.
Follow the road and turn sharp left into Stone Chair Lane. Head down to the tiny granite fishing harbour at Sennen Cove.
Sennen Cove still has a small fishing fleet as well as a few pleasure boats, but it does not offer anchorage to other seafarers, because the frequent heavy swells make it a hazardous destination. Visit it on a windy day, and you will see why!
Leave the harbour through the car park above the slipway. Take the South West Coast Path climbing westwards towards Land End.
There are stunning views over Whitesand Bay northwards towards Cape Cornwall and the Brisons. At the top of this moderately steep section, rounding the headland of Pedn-mên-du, the National Trust has refurbished a former Coastguard Lookout. This is open from Easter to October and contains displays and information about the local area as well as a telescope available for use.
The walk continues along granite clifftops criss-crossed by well-preserved prehistoric field boundaries, past Maen Castle, an impressive Iron Age cliff castle and a number of Bronze Age burial cairns. The heathland in this section is spectacular when in flower, and is home to a variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife, whilst the cliffs are popular nesting sites for fulmars, shags and other seabirds. Peregrine falcons and kestrels can often be seen hunting here, and during the summer it is worth scanning the water below the cliffs for basking sharks and other cetaceans.
A mile and a half out to sea, the Longships Lighthouse guards the busy shipping lanes around Lands End and there are usually some interesting ships to be seen making their way up or down the Bristol Channel.
The granite around Land's End was formed some 275 million years ago.
Cornwall has always been an important mining area. Tin mining made Cornwall one of the world's biggest mineral traders even as long ago as the Bronze Age. Copper, for which it was particularly famous during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, lead, zinc and silver were also mined in the county. China clay which is still one of Cornwall's main industries is also derived from an altered form of granite.
Granite in this area has very large white feldspar crystals in it: a sign that the magma cooled down very slowly after it was formed.
The action of the sea on the hard granite has resulted in the large rectangular blocks and long narrow buttresses in the cliffs here, forming a classic castellated coastline, the best and most spectacular of its type in Britain. As the Atlantic hurls its massive breakers at the cliffs, air is compressed from the impact. This is forced into lines of weakness in the rock, resulting in new caves, fissures, blowholes and zawns.
The Coast Path continues through the remains of further prehistoric fields to Land's End with its wide-ranging views.
Refreshments and other facilities are available all year round at the nearby hotel and visitor centre.
Land's End is England's most westerly point, and looks out over the mythical Arthurian lost lands of Lyonesse. It is a great place for wildlife. In spring and summer it is a riot of colour when the gorse and heather are in bloom, and the pink thrift and white sea campion grow in banks between them. Dolphins and basking sharks can often be spotted offshore, and sometimes a chough, Cornwall's "national" bird. In early 2001 three Choughs arrived on the Lizard peninsula in south-west Cornwall. Two of the birds paired up, the third left the area. The pair nested successfully in 2002, the first breeding in England for fifty years. They have bred annually since, raising a total of 20 young.
Reaching Land's End you can simply return to Trevescan directly along the A30 and B3315. You may choose to turn around and walk the way you came via Sennen Cove back to Trevescan.
Alternatively you may wish to follow a route that uses part of the National Cycleway route. This section is well surfaced and level enough for wheelchair access as it winds its way back towards Sennen Cove.
At the old Coastguard cottages at this end of Maria's Lane, turn right back onto the tarmac road. Follow the path back across the fields to the A30 and thence on the B3315 to Trevescan.

Lignite-fired power plant
Frimmersdorf power plant
Power plant location Grevenbroich, North Rhine-Westphalia
Power plant type Large-scale lignite-fired power plant with 2 units
Commissioned in 1955-1970
Electrical output (gross) 635 MW
Number of units 2 units (300 MW)
Capacity reserve on stand-by
Construction work on Frimmersdorf II power plant started in 1953. It was intended as the successor to a plant built in 1926 and long since demolished. Between 1955 and 1970, two 100-MW, twelve 150-MW and two 300-MW power plant units were completed in quick succession. However, most of these units have by now also been decommissioned on account of their age. The two 300-MW units, built in 1966 and 1970, are the sole ones still available today, providing reserve capacity only.
Ten days' notice
On 1 October 2017, the P and Q units, known locally as "Paula" and "Quelle", began a 4-year period of acting as reserve capacity. At the end of the 4 years they will be decommissioned for good. Until then, the systems will be maintained to such a standard that they can be ready to generate power within 10 days in cases of emergencies in the German power grid. Therefore, they remain powered down, do not burn coal and thus do not produce CO2 most of the time. The climate-policy objective of providing reserve capacity has thus been achieved.
Fixed schedule
RWE Power will transfer a further three 300-MW units to reserve capacity in October 2018 and in October 2019 at the Niederaussem and Neurath plants. The Group is thus following a fixed schedule towards further reducing CO2 emissions in power generation from lignite. By 2020 the emissions will be 15 per cent lower than in 2015. With the Weisweiler plant due to be decommissioned around 2030, overall CO2 emissions will almost have halved. With the continued expansion of renewables, lignite use will decline further. Around the middle of this century, once the opencast mines in Garzweiler and Hambach are exhausted, lignite-based power generation will come to an end.

Henry Wetherbee Henshaw (* 3. März 1850 in Cambridge, Massachusetts; † 1. August 1930 in Washington, D.C.), kurz Henry Henshaw oder Henry W. Henshaw,  war ein US-amerikanischer Naturforscher und Ethnologe.

Leben
Henshaw war das jüngste von sieben Kindern von William and Sarah Holden Henshaw, geborene Wetherbee. Seine Leidenschaft fürs Vogelsammeln begann mit 10 bis 12 Jahren. Er besuchte die Cambridge High School, um sich auf die Harvard University vorzubereiten. William Brewster, der später selbst ein bekannter Ornithologe wurde, war einer von Henshaws Freunden auf der High School. Brewster besaß ein größeres Wissen über Vögel als Henshaw und er hatte bereits eine größere Sammlung von Vogelbälgen und Eiern zusammengetragen. Zusammen perfektionierten sie die Präparation von Studienbälgen. Aufgrund seiner empfindlichen Gesundheit war Henshaw nicht in der Lage, sein Harvard-Studium zu beginnen. Stattdessen wurde er zu einer Exkursion an die Südküste von Louisiana eingeladen, wo er seine Karriere als Naturforscher begann.

Henshaw unternahm anschließend zahlreiche Reisen, wo er viel Felderfahrung sammelte. Im Juli 1872 begleitete er als Sammler eine Expedition des Wheeler Survey nach Provo, Utah. Im Herbst 1872 lernte Henshaw Clinton Hart Merriam kennen, mit dem ihm eine lebenslange Freundschaft verband.

1874 absolvierte Henshaw seine erfolgreichste Feldexpedition, die ihn von Santa Fe in New Mexico zum Gila River ins südwestliche Arizona führte. Hier traf er auf Apachen und er sammelte über 600 Vogelbälge für die Smithsonian Institution. Nachdem der Wheeler Survey 1879 aufgelöst wurde, erhielt er 1880 von John Wesley Powell das Angebot, für das Bureau of American Ethnology zu arbeiten. Er begann seine ethnologische Arbeit, indem er Informationen über die Indianer der pazifischen Küstenstaaten sammelte, die für die Volkszählung von 1880 verwendet wurden. Henshaw studierte die Indianer nördlich von Mexiko, um die Sprachfamilien zu klassifizieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit wurden 1891 veröffentlicht. In den Jahren 1907 bis 1910 wurden zwei Bände des Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico vom Bureau of American Ethnology herausgegeben. Henshaws frühere Arbeit und das fortlaufende Studium von Indianern lieferten die Grundlage für diese Bände.

Im September 1883 gehörte Henshaw zu Gründungsmitgliedern der American Ornithologists' Union (AOU), wo er einer der ersten Ausschussmitglieder war, die einen Nomenklaturcode und eine Checkliste der nordamerikanischen Vögel vorbereiteten. Er diente zwei Amtszeiten (1891–1894 und 1911–1918) als Vizepräsident der AOU, lehnte jedoch das Angebot für eine Präsidentschaft ab. Ferner war Henshaw Gründungsmitglied des Nuttall Ornithological Club (1873) und der National Geographic Society (1888) und er half bei der Organisation des Cosmos Club.

1888 wurde Henshaw Nachfolger von John Wesley Powell als Leiter des Bureau of Ethnology und Redakteur bei der Zeitschrift American Anthropologist. Diese Positionen hatte er bis 1893 inne, bevor ihn ein schwerer Influenzaanfall für sechs Wochen ins Krankenhaus brachte. Die Genesung verlief sehr langsam und schließlich war er gezwungen, eine unbefristete Beurlaubung zu beantragen.

Im Dezember 1894 zog Henshaw auf die Hawaii-Inseln, um seine Gesundheit wiederzuerlangen. Dort machte er sich einen Namen als Fotograf von Freiluftaufnahmen sowie von Kostümen, Häusern und indigenen Personen. Er interessierte sich auch für die hawaiische Avifauna, worüber er 1902 die Monographie Birds of the Hawaiian Islands veröffentlichte.

1904 kehrte Henshaw nach Washington, D.C. zurück, wo er 1905 zum Verwaltungsassistenten und im Dezember desselben Jahres zum stellvertretenden Leiter des Bureau of Biological Survey des Landwirtschaftsministeriums der Vereinigten Staaten ernannt wurde. 1910 übernahm er von Clinton Hart Merriam die Leitung des Bureau of Biological Survey. Mit neu gefundenem Eifer arbeitete Henshaw für den Vogelschutz. 1913 erschien sein Buch Fifty Common Birds of Farm and Orchard, von dem über 200.000 Exemplare verkauft wurden. Im selben Jahr setzte sich Henshaw gemeinsam mit dem Kongressabgeordneten George Shiras für eine Verabschiedung des Weeks–McLean Act, auch bekannt als Migratory Bird Law, ein, der im März 1913 vom US-amerikanischen Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson unterzeichnet wurde.

Am 1. Dezember 1916 trat Henshaw aus gesundheitlichen Gründen in den Ruhestand.

Henshaw beschrieb die Unterart Eremophila alpestris insularis der Ohrenlerche, den Hawaiisturmtaucher (Puffinus newelli), den Inselhäher (Aphelocoma insularis) sowie die Unterart Melospiza melodia montana der Singammer.

Dedikationsnamen
1882 benannte Robert Ridgway die Unterart Chamaea fasciata henshawi der Chaparralgrasmücke nach Henshaw.

This document describes the differences between NaviServer 4.99.4 and the experimental version named naviserver-connthreadqueue (turned into 4.99.5). The new version shows significantly improved response times of a monitored sample website (http://next-scripting.org). The queuing times are substantially reduced and more stable through various measures like an asynchronous log writer or by converting the synchronous SSL driver to an asynchronous and also by delivering content outside the connection threads.
The request dispatch on NaviServer 4.99.4 (and the AOLserver family) works via (a) adding an incoming request into a queue and (b) send send a signal to an unknown number of connection threads of a pool which are assumed to wait for this condition. If there are multiple connection threads waiting for the conditions, the thread which is waked up is determined by the Operating System. Usually, this leads to a round-robin behavior. As a consequence, the thread idle timeout is pretty useless on somewhat busy sites (when request come in at a rate where each thread is waked up before threadtimeout). Furthermore threads terminating based on the connection count die more or less at the same time leading to a "mass extinction". To address this problem, the stochastic spread factor was introduced.
The new dispatch mechanism is maintaining the list of idle connection threads per pool. and can therefor control the dispatch explicitly. The implemented policy assigns the jobs in a LIFO manner to the connection threads. When there are several threads available, the requests are not evenly distributed, the least used thread (at the end of the LIFO queue) can properly time-out. The likelihood of the "mass extinction" is greatly reduced. The spread factor is not needed and has been removed.
In the new architecture, jobs can be directly assigned to threads and the single thread is activated with a signal. The job queue is just used for cases where no idle connection thread is available. The new implementation uses separate locks for waiting queue (wqueue) and thread queue (tqueue) per pool. The changes lead to significant finer lock granularity and improve scalability.
I have tested this new version with a synthetic load of 120 requests per seconds, some slower requests and some faster ones. This load keeps about 20 connection threads quite busy on my home machine. The contention on the new locks is very little: on this test we saw 12 busy locks on 217.000 locks on the waiting queue, and 9 busy locks out of 83.000 locks on the thread queue. These measures are much better than in NaviServer 4.99.4, which has on the same test on the queue 248.000 locks with 190 busy ones. The total waiting time for locks is reduced by a factor of 10. One has to add, that it was not so bad before either. The benefit will be larger when more threads and maybe multiple pools are used.
The new version implements connection thread scaling via the number of entries in the connection queue. The term connection thread scaling refers to automatically create additional connection threads between the minimal and the maximal number of threads (minthreads and maxthreads). Connection thread scaling is useful when a site master does not know how many connection threads should be created to keep up with the expected load. This is increasingly important when the load varies over time. In general, the server is allowed to grow up to maxthreads connection threads and can shrink again the number of threads vis the idle timeout or the number of jobs per connection thread. in practice, newer web applications tend to have today higher number of embedded resources than a few years ago. When a page contains e.g. 50 embedded resources to be requested from the same web server (e.g. css, js, images), current browser open several pipelines in parallel to the server (the default for firefox are 6 persistent connections). The arriving requests are parsed and dispatched to the available connection threads. For high number of embedded resources it is quite likely that some requests are queued. When requests are queued this is a good sign that maybe more connection threads should be created. The server uses to parameters to control this behavior which are defined as percentage of the queue size.
When lowwatermark is set to 0, this means that every queue operation might create a new threads. The variable highwatermark controls concurrent thread requests, which can cause problems when certain c-level extensions are used in the C code. Setting these value 100 turns this feature off. Both parameters control the aggressiveness (or willingness) of the server to create additional connection threads.
Although not directly related with the new request dispatch mechanism, the new implementation was a good opportunity to look closer on request latencies. Frist a small example from a real world website to clarify the problem (most synthetic benchmarks would not show this).
Consider a server with two running connection threads receives 6 requests, where requests 2-5 are received in a very short time. The first three requests are directly assign to connection threads, have fromQueue == 0. These have queuing times between 88 and 110 micro seconds, which includes signal sending/receiving, thread change, and initial setup in the connection thread. The runtimes for these requests are pretty bad, in the range of 0.24 to 3.8 seconds elapsed time.
Requests [4, 5, 6] are queued, and have queuing times between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds. The queuing times are pretty much the runtimes of [2, 3, 4], therefore the runtime determines the queuing time. For example, the totalTime of request  was 0.493454 secs, half of the time it was waiting in the queue. Request  can consider itself happy that it was not scheduled after  or , where its totalTime would have been likely in the range of 4 secs (10 times slower). Low waiting times are essential for good performance.
This example shows pretty well the importance of async delivery mechanisms like the writer thread or bgdelivery in OpenACS. A file being delivered by the connection thread over a slow internet connection might block later requests substantially (as in the cases above).
At the same time the example shows the importance of async receive operations, since when these packages are handled in a connection thread, the blocking time of the connection thread will be larger as well. NaviServer distinguishes between asynchronous and synchronous drivers, where e.g. nssock is defined synchronous and nsssl is defined asynchronous. For asynchronous drivers, the receiving of the request and the parsing of the request happens in the driver, where for synchronous drivers (which might block on read or write operations), the driver just accepts the request and delegates all further work into the connection threads, leading to higher latencies.
The analysis of the latencies lead to several extensions in the new version of NaviServer, which are described in the sequel.
NaviServer 4.99.4 as very little introspection facilities for timing measurements, which consists essentially of the start time of a request, which is actually the time a request is put into a queue.
Based on these time stamps, one can determine e.g. the queuing duration (which was shown already above), or one can measure the duration of NaviServer filters or the pure runtime. From these times, the accept time is the least interesting for performance tuning, since the accept might have happened already at some earlier time in an persistent connection. The queuing time is very important for analyzing latencies and can be influenced by the server settings. Often, just the pure runtime is what might me optimized by a user of a framework like OpenACS.
Furthermore, most web-servers have the problem that analyzing the access log is often problematic since the access log is (a) sorted by the request end-times and (b) the time granularity of one second is rather crude.
The new version of NaviServer allows to track optionally the partial times together with a high resolution time stamp (micro second resolution) in the access log. This can be achieved by setting logpartialtimes in the nslog parameter section to true. In addition, the new NaviServer version tracks the aggregated times and makes these available via ns_server stats. This command returns an attribute value list containing the aggregated durations, but as well the aggregated number of spool operations, the number of requests, the number of queued requests, and the number of connection threads created. All these values are measured since the start of the server.
The command ns_server stats can be used to monitor the system response behavior. The graphic below shows the development of the website next-scripting.org which uses the new NaviServer version in various development states.
The blue line is showing the queuing time which was at the beginning often in the 0.1 seconds range. The reported values are the averages taken from a 5 minutes interval. By improving various factors (which will be addressed below), the current values are in the range of hundred microseconds. One can see as well the tendency, how the total response time decreased (although this is shown on an exponential y scale).
Another new feature is the ability to link NaviServer threads to the OS-specific IDs. This (currently Linux only feature) allows to query the operating system for several informations about a thread. One can for example query the user and system time used per thread. The OS-specific IDs are returned as last entry in ns_info threads. If there is no OS support available, the value 0 is used as a place holder.
The chart below shows what amount of CPU time is used by a web site for what kind of NaviServer thread. We can see here, how e.g. the driver thread nssock looped due to a bug during development (while the server was fully functioning).
The next graph shows the total response times of the server on a metric scale. Notice, how the perceived response time was reduced in week 49, where the asynchronous SSL driver was introduced. The traffic patterns were very similar in weeks 45 to 49, around 4,000 request per day from 40 to 60 visitors.
The last chart displays the memory consumption over the test period. At the begin of week 47, we switched from Tcl's default malloc (zippy malloc) to TCMalloc (the change requires a modification of the Tcl sources). At the end of week 46, we restricted the number of connection threads to 2 (parameter minthreads and maxthreads to 2). In the begin of week 47 we set minthreads to 5 and maxthreads to 10 and switched to TCMalloc. The peaks in week 48 are short runs of the server without TCMalloc.
When we started to analyze a day's traffic on next-scripting.org, we used the previous (synchronous) version of nsssl. For synchronous drivers, the accept time is always zero. By analyzing the traffic of the day, the queue time was on average 54 ms (milliseconds), which is huge, while the median is 0.1 ms. The reason is that we can see a maximum queue time of 21 secs! As a consequence, the standard deviation is as well huge. When one looks more closely to the log file, one can see that at times, when the queuing time is huge, as well the runtime is often huge, leading to cascading effects as described above.
The causes for the "random" slow cases are at least from two sources: slow network connections (some clients are slow in retrieving data, especially some bots seems to be bad) and system specific latencies (e.g. backup running, other servers becoming active, etc.). To address the problem with the slow network connection, i moved first more file deliveries to the writer thread (reducing writersize) and activated TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT. By taking these two measures, one can observer nice improvements: the average queuing time for a day is now 4.6 ms, but still the standard deviation is huge, caused by some "erratic" large values.
A typical source for system specific latencies is the file system. When the latency for writing an entry to a log files (e.g. access log or error log) is high, the thread performing is operation will be blocked for this time. At earlier times we observed on a different website write latencies in the seconds range caused by ext3. This site is much better in this regard, but we see there as well maximum latencies in the range of 200 ms (which is actually an acceptable value).
To address the problem, i have implemented asynchronous writer thread for log files. This causes logging operations from connection threads to be faster and independent from the write latencies of the operating system. The table below shows again a full day with the Async-Writer thread on the same site. The avg queueing time dropped from 0.0547 to 0.0009, the standard deviation from 0.7481 to 0.0211. This is a noticeable improvement.
But still, the sometime large values are worth to investigate. It turned out that the large queueing above time came from requests from a site with a probably bad internet connection (Taipeh), where for an error message the writer thread was not used. Funny enough, the log file analysis showed that the delivery of the error message blocked the connection thread longer than the delivery of an larger image. The reason for this is that the image had a size abover the writersize and was therefore using the background writer.. It turns out that allowing deliveries of error messages over the writer thread requires some refacturing of the infrastructure, which i have not done.
The problem in such cases is not only delivery of the files, but as well latencies caused for incoming packages by the sync driver. When a synchronous driver is used, all receive operations for the incoming request block the connection thread.
Therefore the next logic step to address the problem is to make nsssl asynchronous. Below is again the analysis of a full day of next-scripting.org with the asynchronous implementation of nsssl. The average queue time is lower by again a factor of 4, the standard deviation is as well much better.
After running the server a few days, we observed still some unexplained slow calls. While in the day below, the figures for queue are even better as for the day above (see e.g. stdev), a few requests took quite long.
Some digging revealed, that this were requests for a mobile user with a bad bandwidth. The delivery time for an adp page counts as "runtime". Therefore a slow delivery could still block a connection thread. The writer threads where implemented in NaviServer 4.99.4 just for file deliveries (and the manual invocations via ns_writer).
A dependency of the servers availability on on the client connection speed is a serious problem it this opens a vulerability for DOS attackers minicking slow connections. This was a further motivationto implement as well asynchronous delivery for adp pages (and all other dynamic content) and as well for streaming HTML output (sent e.g. via multiple ns_write operations) when enabled.
Below are three Figures to show the differences between older versions of NaviServer (and AOLServer) and NaviServer 4.99.5.
The simplest case it the architecture with a synchronous driver (Figure 5), which was used e.g. in NaviServer 4.99.4 and before for connections over nsssl. In this case, the driver thread is just responsible for handling the incoming request (accept) and for handing it over to the connection thread. The connection thread is responsible for receiving the request, processing the request (computing the results) and delivering the content to the client. Once the connection is established the connection thread is handling all IO operations, which can be blocking IO, since the blocking affects only the single thread. The yellow background denotes spooling activities, which are activities involving receiving and sending TCP packages from and to the client. While the CPU requirements for spooling is very little, the elapsed time of these operations are hard to predict and depend on external factors.
in this case a connection thread is occupied in this case for a long time which is hard to predict. Since the connection threads are a scarce ressource, the scalability of the server is limited. The connection threads require much more resources since they are are responsible for the heavy-computations (in OpenACS often several thousands of procs/objects/classes); therefore they require much resources and are available only in small quantities.
When an asynchronous driver (Figure 6) is used (e.g. nssock under NaviServer 4.99.4, or nssock and nsssl under 4.99.5) the driver is responsible for the full receipt of the HTTP request. Fot this kind of architecture, the driver has to support asynchronous (non-blocking) IO for receiving the request. Since the CPU effort for handling every incoming packet is little, a single driver is able to handle multiple receive operatons at the same time. The big advantage of the server with the asynchronous driver is that the time spent in the connection thread is significantly reduced. By reducing the elapsed time span in the connection threads, the server is able to improve throughput and to reduce latencies (see above).
NaviServer 4.99.5 favors the model of Figure 7, where the elapsed time-span in the connection thread is reduced further by delegating the output spooling the one or more writer threads. One writer thread is able to handle a high number of simultaneous output spooling tasks. 4.99.4 supported just a limited forms of writer deliveries (file-deliveries with open fd handles and string deliveries, no partial write support in writer thread, every block-write operation blocked a writer thread) where 4.99.5 supports as well ADP-deliveries, HTML streaming deliveries (via ns_write), and mmapped deliveries with full asynchronous output handling in the writer threads.
Optionally a spooler thread can be used to take some load from the driver when many uploads are performed, but this has typically little influence on the latencies. The spooler threads are identical to 4.99.4.
By delegating the various processing steps to multiple threads, NaviServer 4.99.5 is able to benefit much better from multi-core architectures and improves throughput via pipelining and using asynchronous IO-Operations for spooling activities. Depending on the needs, the server can be configured to use multiple (lightweight) spooler and writer threads.
New commands ns_writer size /driver/ ?value? and ns_writer streaming /driver/ ?value? to query/change writer configuration values at runtime.
Track partial times in accesslog together with high-resolution timestamps for determining the request order (the entries in the access log of the server are traditionally in the order of termination on a second granularity, which is often too coarse).
Determine OS level thread-ids if possible (Linux only) and report it via ns_info threads. This can be used e.g. by a monitor (like nsstats.tcl) to list user-time and system-time per thead.
New subcommand ns_server stats to return aggregated statistics from the server.
ns_deprecated can be used for procs which are deprecated.
Reform of ns_info / ns_server: Previously, ns_info returned various information from the "main" server of the nsd process, but there was no interface to obtain this information from an second (e.g. virtual) server or from a connection pool (every server might have multiple pools). These commands were moved to ns_server and the previous ns_info commands were marked deprecated. Also, passing optionally the (sometimes ignored) pool as second argument was deprecated in favor of an explicit -pool option.
New command ns_server ?-server s? ?-pool p? minthreads to query or set minthreads from the specified server and pool.
New command ns_server ?-server s? ?-pool p? maxthreads to query or set maxthreads from the specified server and pool.
Previous versions of nsssl could be attacked via several measures. In particular the server could be attacked via the BEAST and CRIME attacks, it was as well endangered via client-initiated renegotiation which is an attack point for DoS. Part of the problem could be fixed via different configuration values. With the new code and the provided recommendation, nsssl returns better results than e.g. current nginx.
New command ns_conn zipaccepted to query, whether the client accepts gzip-compressed content. This eases Tcl-level handling of such cases.
New command ns_fastpath_cache_stats obtain usage info from the fastpath cache.
Allowing to call "nsd -c" without config file.
Bug-fix for rolling access log when rollfmt is specified. Previously the log file was closed but not reopened, log data was lost.
Fixed all known range request bugs from regression test.
To add logging of partial times in the access log, set logpartialtimes in the nslog section to true. Per default this feature is turned off.
To activate the asynchronous logfile writer, set asynclogwriter to true. Per default this feature is turned off.
The new version of the SSL driver nsssl is implemented asynchronously. The driver has as an additional new feature the ability to use the TCP performance option TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, which is per default turned off. When defer accept is activated, the handshake is simplified and the accept function is only called at the time when data arrives.
Note that TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT is available in linux, bot not on all platforms. FreeBSD has a similar mechanism called an acceptfilter. If the the server is compiled on a platform where SO_ACCEPTFILTER is available, this will be used when deferaccept is activated.
The SO_ACCEPTFILTER change was also implemented for nssock.
The server can now stream HTML output optionally via the writer thread. When sending server responses over slow connections, this option reduces the blocking time of the connection threads and can therfore reduce the damage of slow-read attacks.

Meet "Leiwia from Mere-Sauwia"
By Lynda Mae Wilson
In April, I received an email from my country director notifying me that Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet would be visiting Vanuatu and wanted to stay overnight with a Volunteer: "I volunteered you, I hope that's okay."
I was happy to oblige – how often do you get to share your village with the director of Peace Corps? Not to mention, no trip to Vanuatu is complete without an outer island experience in a traditional village with no electricity, no running water and, up until a few months ago, no cell phone coverage. I was excited to return to my village with the good news and begin the preparations.
Tourism has long been a dream for my village. I first introduced myself to the community in February 2014 and once they learned I had a tourism background, they quickly identified tourism development as one of my secondary projects.
In January 2015, Peace Corps Vanuatu chose our village as a training site and the community built 10 bungalows from local materials (bamboo, thatch, nantangora and other leaves) to accommodate the trainees. This gave our village island-style accommodations for visitors to experience traditional Vanuatu, as well as providing an income-generating opportunity for families.
Upon Director Carrie's arrival and with life jackets in hand, we boarded the metal ferry boat and took in the crystal blue water, fresh wind and stunning views of Moso, Kakala, Pele and Nguna Islands in Undine Bay. We discussed the impact of Cyclone Pam, the chiefly system, the village customs and the Ni-Vanuatu livelihoods on our way to my island.
We arrived on the beach and Elder John escorted us towards the nakamal, the local meeting house. A painted Ni-Vanuatu man, half dressed in leaves, stopped us on the way. His purpose: to ensure we were "okay" to enter the nakamal, per island custom. After a few moments of silence with his handmade spear in hand, he lifted his arm and motioned us to follow him. We then met the Paramount Chief and other local leaders in the village and enjoyed a few snacks before hiking into the bush.
Dusk was upon us as we made our way through the village to the newly cleaned uphill trail. The remnants of Cyclone Pam were evident: trees stripped of vegetation, fallen branches littering the ground and trees cut with borrowed chainsaws to unblock the path. At one time, bamboo reached for the sky but it now bends with an arch. Fruit and vegetable gardens that once flourished in rich soil are finally starting to take life again.
Near the top of the island, we waved as young men on the futbol team stretched before afternoon practice. Just behind the field, the health dispensary awaits the arrival of two new 6,000-liter water tanks to provide access to clean water to patients and nearby villages. We made a small right turn at the primary school where I often teach health classes and continued down the steep hill to be met by my favorite breathtaking view of the Shepard Islands.
We finally arrived in Mere-Sauwia and I was excited to see what the community had planned. We were welcomed with the sound of the traditional conch shell in honor of our special guests, a customary dance and the mamas adorned us in the official colors of Mere-Sauwia: bright yellow and green island-style dresses and shirts.
My papa, the Paramount Chief, welcomed our special guests in Bislama, Vanuatu's national language. Director Carrie addressed the community with sincere appreciation for the warm welcome, collaboration as a training village and for upholding my safety, one of the primary responsibilities of hosting a Peace Corps Volunteer. U.S. Ambassador to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu Walter E. North inspired the group with a message of gender empowerment, encouraging women to take on leadership roles and noting Director Carrie's role as a woman leading Volunteers in more than 60 countries across the world. I was delighted the men, women and children heard those words of encouragement as I have invested a significant amount of time increasing the capacity of the women in the village.
We then took part in a kava tasting, the traditional drink of Vanuatu, followed by dinner. The night's activities lent itself to "storian" about roles in the village, past health workshops, the future internet cafe and then the children proudly sang their climate change song (a previous volunteer's work) all while sitting on locally made mats.
After dinner, the mamas gave Director Carrie her custom name: "Leiwia from Mere-Sauwia." The string band fired up and we laughed and danced the night away on the foundation where our community hall stood before Cyclone Pam.
The next morning, we sat outside my family's beautiful "sunrise bungalow" enjoying coffee and local bread as the chickens pecked nearby. "Leiwia from Mere-Sauwia" and my mama exchanged stories about their children and "Leiwia" shared stories about her host family in Samoa.
Before returning to the mainland, "Leiwia" and Ambassador North planted the first trees at the entrance of our soon-to-be-fruit tree planting area.
I am so proud of my community for their hard work to prepare for Director Carrie ("Leiwia from Mere-Sauwia") and Ambassador North's visit. It was a whirlwind trip and I am so grateful to have had another opportunity to share my culturally rich life on a tiny island in the South Pacific.
We are fortunate to have such a down-to-earth, inspiring, genuine, charismatic Peace Corps Director. Director Carrie shares our challenges as Volunteers and reminds me that although some days are difficult, I am proud to be a part of an amazing organization promoting peace and friendship across the globe.

The Foote Files: President Woodrow Wilson On The Radio
Filed Under:Ken Foote, radio, The Foote Files, Woodrow Wilson
(CBS 11) – Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) was the 28th President of the United States. From I can ascertain from other sources, he appears to be the first American President to have gone on the radio.
President Wilson served during World War I which resulted in an armistice with Germany in November 1918, in addition to the Paris Peace Conference and establishment of the League Of Nations.
During his second term, he suffered a stroke on October 2, 1919 that was concealed by his inner circle until February 1920 when his actual condition became public.

His wife, Edith, has been described by some historians as "the first female President of the United States" as she and two other staff members determined what the President read and who was allowed to speak with him, including the press. In today's world, some 100 years later, the occurrence of that happening might be a bit more challenging to pull off!
Today's clip is a recording of the President speaking to the country on radio from November 10, 1923.
It is one of the earliest recordings known for a radio broadcast, much less by a sitting or former President, and was delivered from his Washington, DC home. It is probably one of the first times for a radio program to air from a remote location. His address was to give the nation hope for a better world to come.
Sixty years later, President Ronald Reagan embraced radio to speak to the nation with his weekly radio addresses during the 1980's (people may remember that the President as a young man was a sports play by play announcer on radio before going into motion pictures and politics).
Unlike TV, radio is a medium of the mind and after 100 years, it still remains the most personal of all.

She recently co-authored an article in the Journal of Pain & Symptom Management, Determining Palliative Care Penetration Rates in the Acute Care Setting, in partnership with colleagues at Intermountain Healthcare. She has her Executive Masters in Public Administration from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Today is an exciting and critical time in health care for several reasons. One of the biggest areas of opportunity comes as a direct result of the industrywide shift to value-based care: Now more than ever, health care organizations are charged with holistically caring for patients in a way that aligns with their values and treatment preferences.
This is especially important for patients with serious illness, as well as those who are nearing the end-of-life. Health care and death is one of the most important conversations we're not having in our country. The number of Americans age 65 and older is projected to more than double from 46 million today to over 98 million by 2060. This demographic shift will likely affect our country in a variety of ways, but of great concern should be the enormous impact it will have on health care systems.
While medical advances have allowed many older adults to live longer, healthier lives, many are also living with multiple chronic and serious illnesses. Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. In 2014, a RAND study estimated that 60 percent of American adults now live with at least one chronic condition; 42 percent have more than one. They account for hundreds of billions of dollars in health care spending every year. This problem will require large-scale adoption of high-value, low-revenue innovations with dedicated expertise, persistence and ingenuity.
Identify the right population in need of care, and adjust services as needs change. There is general agreement that the population at-risk can be identified through a combination of three types of variables: diagnosis, functional limitations and previous health services utilization.
With the advancements in artificial intelligence and predictive models, we can now much more accurately identify and stratify target populations to provide this extra layer of support, ensuring we are providing the right level of care at the right time in a way that is personalized to a patient and their disease process. In addition, electronic health records and population health management tools are continuously improving the way patient and caregiver goals of care and values are electronically captured to better incorporate their voices and experiences.
However, there will never be enough palliative care providers to care for all the patients in need. Our country is facing a serious national shortage of hospice and palliative medicine physicians. Currently there is one palliative care physician for every 1,300 individuals diagnosed with a serious illness and one for every 20,000 patients with severe chronic illness. The shortage of palliative medicine physicians was estimated at 6,000-18,000 in December 2010, and is only expected to increase. It is more important now than ever that we train and support all clinicians, including primary care providers, to incorporate palliative medicine skills and competencies into their clinical practice. Emphasis should be focused on quality conversations around goals of care and advance care planning, which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) pay for as of January 1, 2016. This strategy has been defined by the industry as the primary palliative care approach.
We know that individuals who have conversations with their clinicians about their values, goals and wishes are more likely to receive the care they want, have fewer non-beneficial medical treatment and report better quality of life. And yet, less than one-third of patients with end-stage medical diagnoses discuss their goals and preferences with their clinicians. The conversations tend to focus on medical procedures and treatments rather than a patient's values and priorities.
One example of addressing these challenges is the creation of the Serious Illness Care Program by a team of palliative care experts at Ariadne Labs. Ariadne Labs is a joint center between Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. They have developed an evidence-based tool called the Serious Illness Conversation Guide as part of a six-part program that creates system-level support for all clinicians to have these important conversations with their patients. These structured questions are drawn from best practices in basic palliative care and serve as a framework for clinicians to explore topics that are crucial to gaining a full understanding about what is most important to patients.
One last approach is increasing quality conversations both providers and patients are having about their end-of-life wishes, and then recording the outcomes of those discussions in advance care planning documents. Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that supports patients at any age or stage of health in understanding and sharing their personal values, life goals and preferences regarding future medical care. The goal of ACP is to help ensure that people receive medical care that is consistent with their wishes. Documentation examples include advance directives, medical durable power of attorney and physician orders for life-sustaining treatment.
But how well do we incorporate these aspects into the clinical delivery of care? How well do we design our technology solutions to support clinicians in facilitating these discussions or documenting outcomes? How often do we involve patients in the design of their fate? Patients want to be asked and they want to be included in the decision-making process about their health and well-being, especially when they have a serious, life-threatening illness.
We have a responsibility, as an industry, to begin redesigning what the end-of-life experience looks like for patients. It is the one universal concept, other than birth, that unites us all; and one day, we will all go through it. What do we want it to look like?
Although 80 percent of Americans would prefer to die at home, 63 percent die in hospitals and another 17 percent die in institutional settings such as long-term care facilities. Only a fraction end up using hospice services, and those who do often are referred in the last 3-4 weeks of life.
We have the power now to re-shape this human experience before we are inundated with a rapidly aging population. We need to take the time now to reflect on our end-of-life wishes, while we are in good health, and discuss them with our loved ones, then document them in an advance directive and share them with our medical team. Together, we can shift the culture in our country and begin to embrace serious illness and our own mortality. By accepting our fate, we can truly begin living well.

Naval Clashes and Conspiracies
The love-hate triangle between the United States, North Korea, and South Korea continues.
Pyongyang has called its recent naval clash with the South the result of Seoul's meddling in U.S.-North Korean reconciliation. Referring to the incident as "deliberate, planned provocation" by South Korea, one of Pyongyang's state-run newspapers reported today, "It goes to show how recklessly crazy the South Korean government is in trying to put a brake on improving relations between North Korea and the U.S."
This is not the first time Pyongyang has accused Seoul of playing saboteur…
In its rejection of President Lee Myung-bak's "grand bargain" proposal, Pyongyang explained that the real problem was Washington's hostility and that Lee's "ridiculous proposal" was nothing more than interference: "It is evident that [Lee] seeks to meddle and stand in the way of settling the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S."
South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo explained the predictability of Tuesday's sudden clash: "The North uses the fears of its counterparts as a negotiating tactic." According to Donga Ilbo, both the 1999 Yellow Sea clash and 2002 Yeonpyeong Island clash were prompted by North Korea amidst diplomatic activity so as to achieve leverage through tension. Similarly, Tuesday's clash precedes a trip to Pyongyang next month by U.S. special envoy Stephen Bosworth.
In each confrontation, the North blamed the South. "It's a sly conspiracy," said the DPRK state-run news agency of South Korea's role during Tuesday's naval clash. But documentation of each incident tells another story. In the most recent confrontation, a North Korean patrol boat charged through a disputed sea border, ignored several warning shots from South Korean vessels, and then fired directly upon a South Korea patrol boat. North Korean vessels were also first to fire in the other two conflicts.
In what seems to be an effort to undercut Pyongyang's rhetoric, both the United States and South Korea have attempted to downplay the event, noting that it would have no bearing on diplomatic plans. Within hours of the clash, South Korea's government declared that inter-Korean cooperation and exchanges would be unaffected, while Secretary Clinton yesterday "urged calm" and noted that plans for Bosworth's trip remain unchanged.
South Korean troops are now on high alert, anticipating possible retaliation after the superior South Korean navy sent Pyongyang's patrol boat limping away in flames.

If possible, locate where midges are breeding. This may be a pool of standing water on your property or another area where water collects like bird baths or fish ponds. Midges will fly a quarter of a mile from their breeding grounds, so identifying this may be hard to do.
If it is possible, remove outside light sources to discourage the presence of midges. You may also want to replace white light bulbs with bulbs that are tinted pink, yellow, or orange, as these colors are least attractive to not only midges, but a variety of other insects. Biting Midges will actually not stray very far from their breeding grounds, so if they are present in your yard, just moving a few feet away will be all you need.

Q: Dependencies flags "module could not be found on disk" even though the DLL is there I've been using Dependency Walker's successor, Dependencies, to troubleshoot some errors with a legacy application I'm working on.  I've noticed that Dependencies flagged a DLL as missing (let's call it Foo.dll), but even after I manually copied it to the working tree and refreshed the app I still got the dependency flagged with following error message:
Foo.dll module could not be found on disk

Does anyone have any insight on what would lead Dependencies to flag a DLL that exists in the current path as "module could not be found on disk" ?

Interpretive Summary: Brown spot of soybeans is a fungal disease that can be observed on leaves of plants. It is a common disease in the areas of the United States where soybeans are grown. The disease is known to reduce soybean production. The disease is caused by the fungus, Septoria glycines, and until now has not been reported on other legume crops such as mung bean, common bean and pea. The pathogen was thought to be limited to soybeans, and did not occur on other commercial crops. Twenty nine of 30 legume species tested developed leaf symptoms after inoculation with the fungus. This study provides information about the host range of this fungus. These findings are important because they provide new information about the ability of the fungus to cause disease on other plants. These results will be beneficial to research and extension scientists when working with this pathogen.
Technical Abstract: Thirteen genera representing 30 legume species, two weed species (Abutilon theophrasti and Ampelamus albidus), and five cultivars of soybean were inoculated with Septoria glycines in the field and greenhouse. Of these, 29 legume species and A. theophrasti had leaf symptoms. Only Cicer arietinum and C. leave were symptomless. Leaf symptoms were separated into three types. All Glycine spp. except one accession of G. tabacina (PI440994) had typical soybean brown spot lesions. Ten legume species with green cotyledons had small lesions. Six legume species and A. theophrasti had atypical symptoms. Incubated leaf samples from inoculated field and greenhouse-grown plants were used to count pycnidia with cirrhi. Species with small lesions and atypical synptoms had fewer pycnidia with cirrhi than those plants with typical brown spot lesions. Two isolates of Septoria spp. obtained from leaf lesions on A. theophrasti and C. leave were similar in conidia and pycnidia sizes when compared to an isolate from soybean. Both isolates caused typical brown spot lesions on soybeans.

Study Suggests Overtreatment in End-of-Life Care Despite POLST
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 — Patients with treatment-limiting Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) are less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) but may not always receive treatment that is consistent with their wishes, according to a study published online Feb. 16 in the Journal of the American Medical Association to coincide with the Society of Critical Care Medicine annual Critical Care Congress, held from Feb. 16 to 19 in Orlando, Florida.
Robert Y. Lee, M.D., from the Cambia Palliative Care Center of Excellence at the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues investigated the association between POLST orders for medical interventions and ICU admission for patients receiving end-of-life care. The retrospective cohort study included patients with chronic illness who had POLSTs, died between 2010 and 2017, and were hospitalized within the last six months of life.
The researchers found that of 1,818 decedents, 401 (22 percent) had POLST orders requesting comfort measures only, 761 (42 percent) requested limited additional interventions, and 656 (36 percent) requested full treatment. Patients with comfort-only and limited intervention orders were less likely to be admitted to the ICU; however, 38 percent of patients with comfort-only and limited intervention orders received POLST-discordant care. Patients with cancer were less likely to receive POLST-discordant care, while patients admitted for traumatic injury were more likely to receive POLST-discordant care.
"Lee et al have provided important new information about the relationship between POLSTs and overtreatment of patients at the end of life," write the authors of an accompanying editorial. "These insights will assist clinicians in developing strategies to help ensure that patients hospitalized near the end of life receive only those treatments that are both desired and beneficial."

As we get older, the whole notion of wishes often gets put in the 'hog wash' pile. We sort desires into the can, and can't possibly happen, categories, and talk more about facing reality. "You wish", becomes a scoffing term when someone touts dreams we deem unlikely.
Our children believe more in the power of wishes. They imagine, and express themselves more freely, especially if they are not 'squashed' when they do.
We can, in fact, take wishes out of the realm of child's play, and use them as a useful parenting strategy. "I wish…", and "you wish….", can actually be really respectful ways of hearing our children.
They have so little power over many areas of their lives, and a limited understanding of what is possible, versus what is not. Many of their desires, expressed as demands, are ill-timed.
Rather than flat out denying what they want, we can try a different approach. It softens the blow of the no for them, because it is acknowledging the validity of their feelings.
"I wish I had a drink for you. You're so thirsty. Let's get you some water as soon as we can".
" You wish you could have that truck. It sure is cool"!
"That sounds really hard. I wish your friends were kinder to you at lunchtime.
"You wish you could have every flavour in the shop. Let me know when you've decided the one you want".
"You wish I could stay with you instead of going to work".
This isn't condescending, or a form of trickery. It's making a statement of how things are for them.
It's coming alongside our child, instead of just shutting them down. A dialogue is opened if our child needs a bit more. Our tone is kind, and genuine. and we've found children appreciate this approach.
We can't say yes to everything they want, but we can say yes, we're willing to understand them.
We show empathy when we can relate to their struggle, without being able to instantly solve it.
When we name what they feel, and why, we're humanising them, which is especially important in a society that often treats children as an 'other'.
