To start off I would like to mention that I was tagged by the lovely lady Maggie to write this post(which rarely happens though) and be it by her order :D "LET IT RIP."
Blogging and me goes long way back, it took off when I was in middle school and was slowly getting exposed to the blogging culture. Firstly, I wanna really make it clear that time I had no interested in writing or anything else that I can blog about but the very idea of having a blog thrived me from very long. Back then the only known blogging platform(or at least to me ) was Blogger and with great enthusiasm I started my own blog. The time when it was hard to go with a particular email-id maintaining a blog was a big deal and there was my blog somewhere down begging me to update it regularly. The relationship between me and my blog (rather say blogs :D) was ON-OFF for several years and it was only in my second year of Engineering that it was completely into me. There is a mockery that In India you come an engineer first and then figure what to do with your life, it was no different for me (but I was not an Engineer fully) as I discovered my inclination towards writing. I rejuvenated my interest in blog again and started with Blog.com(which I guess no longer exist) at first It look good and I published couple of article at first. After some more blog post I felt that I was missing on something and then decided to migrate to Blogger again :P. I started with RANDOM VARIABLE: To Infinity and Beyond(not copied from Buzz Lightyear though) and ever since it has been a pleasant journey with some up and down.
1.I have been lethargic for most of the time and as result something the blog goes not being updated for over a month and so.Its time to update the blog more frequently, say 4-5 post a month.
2.I had been writing some post but they had been not that up to the mark as they had been way off-topic and less appealing to the masses. So its time to post some more trending and quality stuff along with the usual stuff.
3.Recently I had been getting some reads and comments over my posts and its time to be more interactive with the readers be it with post or by following them with their comments.
I know there are far more accomplished blogger and for some taking their blog to the next level would be spreading their wings across internationally. For me its now single step at a time and my priorities are the one mentioned above and accomplishing them in a 6 month time will be like one level up.
"With a story to tell, everyone is a Storyteller"
Keeping up with the trend, I now tag Srijal to write his take on the topic.
I want to take my blog to the next level with Blogchatter.


The box below shows Horwood's Plan annotated with all of the site's current markers drawn from guides to London. These are Samuel Fores's New Guide for Foreigners (the green and brown markers), Richard Phillips' Modern London (the grey and orange markers) and Rudolph Ackermann's Microcosm of London (the blue markers). More information on each of these guides can be found in their respective sections of the site (linked from the top toolbar). The different sets of markers can be added to or removed from the map using the control box in the top right. Full screen mode (activated using the button under the zoom controls) is particularly useful for getting a good perspective on this map.


The recent history of efforts to tackle climate change by the international community tells a story of mixed achievements in a rapidly changing world. Can COP21 succeed where predecessors have failed?
More than 20 years ago, most countries in the world signed and ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which aimed at the "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".
Since then, the world has changed dramatically. In 1990, the developed countries listed in Annex I of the UNFCCC accounted for over 60 per cent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel use and developing countries (i.e. those not listed in the annex) less than 40 per cent. Now the situation is almost reversed: in 2012, non-Annex I countries accounted for approximately 55 per cent of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use.
For example, China has outstripped both the EU and US to become the world's largest emitter of CO2. Indian emissions are also growing rapidly, though in per capita terms they remain well below the world average. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in its most recent review, reducing climate risks will require substantial and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (mostly CO2, but also other gases such as methane and nitrous oxide), meaning action will be needed from all emitters.
The approaches taken under the UNFCCC have also changed to reflect this new reality. The legally binding but modest quantified emissions-reduction targets for developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol (by at least five per cent by 2012 compared to 1990) proved inadequate to the task. The US never ratified and Canada failed to meet its obligations and pulled out. Global fossil-fuel-related CO2 emissions grew much faster after 2000 than in the 1990s. Participation has shrunk under the Kyoto Protocol's second commitment period to 2020, leaving only 14 per cent of global emissions covered.
However, Kyoto was an important driver of flexible, market-based approaches to climate policy. The development of the EU GHG emissions trading system and of robust accounting rules for GHG emissions, as well as a global GHG offsetting programme – the Clean Development Mechanism – are all part of Kyoto's legacy.
Faced with gridlock at the Copenhagen UNFCCC conference in 2009, the US, China, Brazil, India and South Africa drafted the Copenhagen Accord (2009) that catalysed a new bottom-up approach based on 'nationally determined' mitigation pledges and began to bridge the sharp division between action by developed and developing countries.
This was mainstreamed into the UNFCCC process in the 2010 Cancún Agreements, along with an enhanced transparency regime to track implementation and commitments on financial support. More than 90 countries, including all major emitters, put forward pledges that took a variety of forms, mostly covering the period to 2020. In aggregate, they are not, however, thought to be ambitious enough to be consistent with a cost-effective emissions-reductions pathway to the long-term target agreed in Cancún in 2010 of keeping the increase in global average surface temperature to below 2ºC. Countries' plans for emissions reductions beyond 2020 are now being established.
Financial support is a key element of this new approach. Developed countries pledged $30 billion of so-called fast-start finance for the period 2010-12. They also committed in Cancún to mobilise $100 billion each year by 2020 to support climate change actions in developing countries. The UN established a new facility under the UNFCCC for channelling climate finance, the Green Climate Fund, to provide balanced support for both adaptation and mitigation activities. As of early April 2015, it had received pledges of $10.2 billion.
Continued emission of GHGs will cause further warming, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems. Not surprisingly, therefore, the focus on and support for adaptation actions has increased over time.
Starting in 2001, a series of processes under the Convention has resulted in tools, methodologies, greater expertise and the provision of financial and technical support for adaptation. There is greater emphasis on ensuring sufficient resources for adaptation as well as mitigation, and for countries to take stronger action to enhance resilience and a more strategic approach to adaptation planning.
Cooperative and collaborative activities outside of, but reinforcing, the UNFCCC process have also gained momentum. Participation has greatly increased: attendance at Kyoto was under 10,000 participants, while Copenhagen exceeded 27,000. Paris this year may be larger still. Events such as the UN Climate Summit in September 2014 have helped to highlight the potential and necessary contribution of non-state actors to tackling climate change.
In 2010, 20 countries were responsible for 80 per cent of CO2 emissions. The US and China between them were responsible for about 40 per cent. Decisions taken by a smaller group of countries can therefore have an important impact where they align with and reinforce the UNFCCC process on mitigation issues.
The US-China announcement in late 2014 was important in injecting momentum into the global climate negotiations in advance of COP21. But it was also important at a practical level since both countries set out their respective emissions-reduction intentions beyond 2020 and agreed additional measures to strengthen and expand bilateral cooperation in areas such as clean energy R&D and advancing major carbon capture, utilisation and storage demonstrations.
Within the UNFCCC process, the annual Conference of the Parties (COPs) has become a focal point for knowledge-sharing outside the formal negotiation process. The momentum of the 2014 UN Climate Summit has been maintained and built upon by the current and upcoming presidents of the COP: Peru and France. They have launched the Lima-Paris Action Agenda, and view the collaborative and cooperative pledges and projects stemming from it as an integral part of the COP21 outcome at the end of 2015.
So how significant is the COP21 meeting? Paris could and should be the beginning of a dynamic and flexible process that allows all countries to contribute, in different measure reflecting their national circumstances, to reducing climate risks and building resilience to climate impacts. It aims to finalise a new multilateral agreement for tackling climate change that has been under negotiation for the last four years. This agreement should be universal, have legal force and come into effect from 2020. It is expected to cover mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology, capacity building and transparency.
COP21 will also allow the international community to review and take stock of the aggregate effect of the intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) to emissions reductions post-2020. At COP19 in Warsaw, countries had agreed they would propose their INDCs before the Paris COP. The EU, US and China were the first to announce their intended mitigation efforts. Apart from China, these countries have also formally submitted their INDCs to the UNFCCC, as have states such as Switzerland, Norway, Mexico, Russia and Gabon.
The UNFCCC will provide a first assessment of these contributions in November 2015. Many other organisations will be poring over the details to assess the implications for the governments' stated ambition to limit warming to 2ºC. There is likely to be a gap in ambition.
The Paris agreement therefore needs to build in flexibility and strong review mechanisms to increase and update the ambition and effectiveness of mitigation action over time, for which the UNFCCC process is vital. Adequate and timely financial support from developed countries will be critical to secure this.
Some developing countries will also require immediate support for adaptation, as well as longer-term support to build resilience. These calls for greater financial support come at a time when public coffers in developed countries remain under pressure. This places a premium on the need to mobilise significant private finance and improve the enabling conditions for investment.
If these complex issues can be successfully negotiated, the COP21 agreement has the potential over time to make a decisive shift in our collective efforts to limit climate risks. The long-term challenge is clear: GHG emissions reaching the atmosphere from energy, industry, transport and land use will have to decline towards around zero or below on a net basis by the end of this century.
The costs of both action and inaction on climate change will continue to increase the longer that action is delayed. While there remains a gap between action and ambition on emissions reduction, COP21 should help countries shape their near-term policies and actions into a cost-effective and credible pathway to the low-emission, climate resilient future we need.

Raynard Jackson says that most Americans are totally clueless as to how they are being manipulated in their everyday lives by both domestic and foreign entities.
As I often say, weak people take strong positions on weak issues. Look no further than the lying mainstream media that has willfully ignored the context surrounding President Trump and his alleged Russian connections.
Anyone who has a base understanding of how intelligence works knows that the U.S. is in the middle of one of the most public psychological operations (PSYOP) ever unleashed on America.
These operations have been part of the American fabric for decades, but never this public; and yes, America does the same thing all over the world.
Please don't be fooled by the deceitful media in this regard. Russia has already won and has already achieved their desired objective—to destabilize America by greatly decreasing American's faith in our institutions.
This is the main objective of most PSYOP programs by foreign governments. The Russian program didn't just start with Trump, but it started with the Obama administration, because Putin saw Obama as being a very weak president.
While Russia was creating various diversions within the U.S. that caused us to question our political leaders and our institutions; Putin was busy annexing Crimea to Russia. Many of the recent computer glitches with our airlines and utilities were Russian and Chinese cyber-attacks to further divert our attention.
If you want to get a real clear understanding of the whole notion of PSYOPs, watch the movie "Swordfish" with John Travolta. The whole premise of the movie and PSYOPs is misdirection. Misdirection is the one word that adequately defines PSYOPs.
Obama threatened Syrian president Assad that if he crossed some imaginary "red" line that there would be consequences. Not only did Assad cross the red line, but he used chemical weapons on his own people. What was Obama's response? The same as it was when it came to doing things for Black folks: nothing.
Once Putin saw how weak Obama was, he put his destabilization plan in America on steroids!
All of the noise about who and when Trump and his people met with are all irrelevant. All of the mainstream media articles about Russia hacking the Democratic National Committee, Hillary's email server and Wikileaks are just as irrelevant.
Putin knows that if he can destabilize America by causing Americans to no longer believe in our institutions or at least to begin to doubt them, then he will be free to drastically expand the global influence of Russia.
America is playing right into the hands of Putin.
Most Americans are totally clueless as to how they are being manipulated in their everyday lives by both domestic and foreign entities.
Most Americans would be stunned to learn of the symbiotic relationship between our media and the CIA in the area of intelligence collection and PSYOPs.
The most recent public acknowledgement of journalists operating as spies for American intelligence was the case of German journalist Udo Ulfkotte. In his 2014 book, "Bought Journalism," he reveals that he was paid by the CIA for over seventeen years as one of their non-official covers (NOCs). That means if your true identity is ever revealed, the CIA will deny any knowledge of your existence. This is typical for agents working undercover.
The American media has gone from legitimate questions about the role, if any, of Russia meddling in our elections to charges and counter-charges by Democrats and Republicans as to who met with Sergey Kislyak, current Russian ambassador to the U.S.
In the labor movement, the mere threat of a strike, in many ways, is more powerful than the strike itself in terms of leverage; the same threat tactic works in PSYOPs.
No one needs to prove definitively that Russia affected our elections; the mere fact that they have caused "doubt" about our elections and our relevant institutions is the nirvana of any PSYOP strategy.
So, while we are arguing about whether Trump's election was legitimate, because there can be no way in hell, according to liberals, that Hillary could have lost without Russian interference, Putin's poll numbers are steadily rising throughout his country. While we are arguing about what Trump aides met with who from Russian, North Korea is testing missiles off the coast of South Korea. China is continuing to annex disputed lands for military purposes off the coast of Japan.
Again, distraction in full effect.
We are seeing our global enemies expand their reach and influence worldwide while we are being distracted by all this chatter about meetings with Russians. This is leading Americans to believe somehow that the Russians are responsible for Trump being elected president, while all along this is the distraction the Russians wanted to create.
Americans are saying things like, "How can we believe Trump without an investigation into his connections with Russia." Americans no longer believe in either political party.
Most Americans have little to no understanding of world events. Survey after survey have shown for decades that Americans are the most ill-informed when it comes to global affairs and that we are easily manipulated.


Professional Standard, Tom Cleary: Portfolio - This is what sue said after the lesson: "they used the verb 'vivir' and we labored on that inside the previous lesson, then nowadays they've used the article to study after which to jot down their personal piece. ?great consequences which we truely wouldn't have were given without the mags for proper assist. ?exceptional result turned into a 4b, which, 4 weeks in and best four proper instructions is pretty precise don't you think? ?and all the usage of the five minute plan too!??.
On tuesday, sue used the object '¡vivimos aquí!?? with her top set year 7h. The format she used became the 5 minute lesson plan from instructor tool package and the cream & b rule is from a book she bought some weeks ago, the best evaluation for mastering by claire gadsby.
No, the 5-minute plan become by no means designed for ofsted inspections and was not designed to belittle the cognitive system used within the lesson planning. It became in the beginning designed for brand new teachers to the career, to help formalise the method had to improve practice inside the classroom – to recognition on studying, rather than the activity – even as aiming to reduce planning time that such a lot of instructors document as a burden of their early years. This seems outstanding! I like the usage of the magazines to reveal college students to extra vocabulary as well as assist them construct their incidental vocabulary lexicons. Right here are some other activities i've tried or am deliberating boom the interaction. One of the activities i have covered with the mag is developing a pin board inside the class with index playing cards. The students study something inside the mag, take notes after which choose what sticks out to them the maximum. They write it on an index card and that card goes on a in board (created in elegance) or a faux elegance twitter account. Edmodo will be suitable for this as well if you have ipads or mini computers. Additionally, i've businesses read one section of the magazine, create sports that includes vocabulary including cognates and further questions- they then deliver the activities to different organizations to complete. It's pretty interesting to look what they arrive up with!.

O Sistema europeu de controlo ferroviário (em inglês: European Train Control System, ETCS) é o subsistema de sinalização e controlo do Sistema europeu de gestão do tráfego ferroviário (ERTMS). É um substituto para os antigos sistemas de proteção de comboios (trens) e está projetado para substituir os muitos sistemas de segurança incompatíveis atualmente usados pelas ferrovias europeias. O padrão também foi adotado fora da Europa e é uma opção para aplicação em todo o mundo. Em termos técnicos, é um tipo de Controlo positivo ferroviário (em inglês: Positive train control, PTC).

O ETCS é implementado com equipamento padrão de via férrea e equipamento de controlo unificado dentro da cabina do comboio (trem). Na sua forma avançada, todas as informações do lado da linha são passadas para o maquinista dentro da cabina através de comunicações sem fios, eliminando a necessidade do maquinista observar os sinais ao lado da linha. Isso fornecerá a base para uma Operação Automática Ferroviária (em inglês: Automatic Train Operation, ATO) a ser definida posteriormente. O equipamento eletrónico ao lado da via férrea visa a troca de informações com o veículo ferroviário para supervisionar a segurança da circulação do comboio (trem). As informações trocadas entre a via férrea e os comboios (trens) podem ser contínuas ou intermitentes, de acordo com o nível de aplicação do ERTMS/ETCS e com a própria natureza das informações.

A necessidade de um subsistema como o ETCS decorre da existência de comboios (trens) cada vez mais longos e em maior quantidade, resultante da integração económica da União Europeia (UE) e da liberalização dos mercados ferroviários nacionais da Europa. No início da década de 1990, havia alguns projetos nacionais de comboios (trens) de alta velocidade apoiados pela UE que careciam de interoperabilidade ferroviária. Isso catalisou a Diretiva 1996/48 sobre a interoperabilidade dos comboios (trens) de alta velocidade, seguido pela Diretiva 2001/16, estendendo o conceito de interoperabilidade à rede ferroviária convencional. As especificações ETCS passaram a fazer parte ou são referidas nas Especificações Técnicas da Interoperabilidade (em inglês: Technical Specifications for Interoperability, ETI) para os sistemas de controlo-comando (ferroviários), peças da legislação europeia geridas pela Agência Ferroviária da União Europeia (ERA). É um requisito da legislação europeia que todas as novas vias férreas e todo o novo material circulante, atualizados ou renovados no sistema ferroviário europeu devam adotar obrigatoriamente o ETCS, possivelmente mantendo, em simultâneo, os antigos sistemas nacionais para permitir a compatibilidade com as versões anteriores. Muitas redes ferroviárias fora da UE também adotaram o ETCS, geralmente para projetos ferroviários de alta velocidade. O objetivo principal de alcançar a interoperabilidade plena teve um sucesso misto no início da implementação devido a alguns percalços entretanto superados.

A implementação tem sido lenta, já que não há justificação clara para a substituição dos antigos sistemas de proteção de comboios (trens) existentes, especialmente na Alemanha e na França, que já tinham sistemas avançados de proteção de comboios (trens) instalados na maioria das linhas principais. Embora esses sistemas legados tenham sido desenvolvidos na década de 1960, eles ainda fornecem um desempenho semelhante ao ETCS Nível 2, daí a relutância dos gestores da infraestrutura (em inglês: infrastructure managers) destes países em substituir rapidamente esses sistemas pelo ETCS. Existem também problemas significativos em relação à compatibilidade dos últimos lançamentos de software ou dos equipamentos da infraestrutura ferroviária com os equipamentos de bordo mais antigos, forçando, em muitos casos, as companhias operadoras dos comboios (trens) a substituir o equipamento ETCS após passados apenas alguns anos da sua aquisição. A Suíça, um dos primeiros países a adotar a Supervisão Limitada do ETCS (em inglês: ETCS Limited Supervision), introduziu uma moratória sobre a implementação planeada do ETCS Nível 2 devido a preocupações com os custos e a capacidade, além de preocupações sobre a obsolescência do subsistema GSM-R a partir de 2030.

Níveis do ETCS

O ETCS é especificado em quatro níveis numerados:

 Nível 0: as locomotivas ou o material circulante motor em conformidade com o ETCS não interagem com o equipamento junto à linha, por exemplo porque não cumprem o requisito de conformidade com o ETCS.
 Nível NTC (antigo Nível STM): os veículos ferroviários compatíveis com o ETCS são equipados com Módulos de Transmissão Específicos (em inglês: Specific Transmission Modules, STM) adicionais para permitir a interação com os antigos sistemas de sinalização nacionais. Dentro das cabinas, há interfaces do maquinista ETCS padronizadas. De acordo com as definições da Linha de Base 3 (em inglês: Baseline 3), ele é denominado de Controlo Nacional Ferroviário (em inglês: National Train Control, NTC).
 Nível 1: o ETCS é instalado ao lado da linha (possivelmente sobreposto aos sistemas antigos) e a bordo. Transmissão pontual de dados da via férrea para comboio (trem) (e vice-versa) via Eurobalizas (em inglês: Eurobalises) ou Euroloops.
 Nível 2: idêntico ao nível 1, mas as eurobalizas são usadas apenas para a deteção exata da posição do comboio (trem). A transmissão contínua de dados via GSM-R com o Bloco Central de Rádio (em inglês: Radio Block Center, RBC) fornece as informações de sinalização necessárias ao mostrador (em inglês: display) do maquinista. Há mais equipamentos necessários ao lado da linha, ou seja, para a deteção da integridade do comboio (trem).
 Nível 3: idêntico ao nível 2, mas a localização e a supervisão da integridade do comboio (trem) já não dependem mais de equipamentos da via férrea como os circuitos da via (em inglês: track circuit) ou os contadores do eixo (em inglês: axle counter).

Equipamento transportado a bordo
Todos os comboios (trens) compatíveis com o ETCS serão equipados com sistemas de bordo certificados pelos Organismos regulatórios. Este equipamento consiste numa comunicação sem fios, sensores de deteção da via férrea, unidade lógica central, mostradores da cabina e dispositivos de controlo para a ação do maquinista.

Interface Homem-Máquina
A Interface Homem-Máquina (em inglês: Man Machine Interface, MMI) é a interface padronizada para o maquinista, também chamada de "Driver Machine Interface" (DMI). Consiste num conjunto de mostradores (em inglês: displays) coloridos com entrada por toque (em inglês: touch input) para ETCS e mostradores separados para a comunicação GSM-R. Isto é instalado com dispositivos de controlo específicos para o tipo de comboio (trem).

Módulo de Transmissão Específico
O Módulo de Transmissão Específico (em inglês: Specific Transmission Module, STM) é uma interface especial para o EVC para comunicar com os antigos sistemas ATP Classe B como, por exemplo, o PZB, o Memor e o ATB. Consiste em elementos de deteção específicos para as instalações ao lado da linha e uma interface para hardware, e uma interface de adaptação lógica para EVC. O EVC deve incluir um software especial para a tradução dos antigos sinais para a comunicação interna unificada ETCS. O maquinista utiliza equipamento da cabina padrão ETCS também em linhas não ETCS. O STM permite, portanto, o uso do veículo circulante motor equipado com ETCS na rede não equipada e é hoje essencial para a interoperabilidade.

Módulo de Transmissão da Baliza
O Módulo de Transmissão da Baliza (em inglês: Balise Transmission Module, BTM) é um conjunto com antenas e a interface sem fios para ler telegramas de dados das eurobalizas e para a escrita nas eurobalizas.

Sensores Odométricos
Os sensores odométricos são importantes para a determinação da posição exata. Nas instalações do ETCS Nível 2, são raras as instalações das eurobalizas como marcadores definitivos. Entre esses marcadores, a posição é estimada e medida em relação ao último marcador superado. Inicialmente provou-se que, em condições de aderência difíceis, os transmissores das rotação do eixo não dariam a precisão necessária.

Computador Vital Europeu
O Computador Vital Europeu (em inglês: European Vital Computer, EVC), também chamado de Eurocab, é o coração dos recursos da computação local no veículo circulante motor. Está conectado com a comunicação dos dados externos, controlos internos para a regulação da velocidade da locomotiva, sensores de localização e todos os dispositivos da cabina do maquinista.

Eurorádio
A unidade de comunicação Eurorádio (em inglês: Euroradio) é obrigatória e é usada para a comunicação de voz e dados. Como o ETCS Nível 2 todas as informações de sinalização são trocadas via GSM-R, o equipamento é totalmente duplicado com duas conexões simultâneas ao RBC.

Unidade de Gravação Jurídica
A Unidade de Gravação Jurídica (em inglês: Juridical Recording Unit, JRU) faz parte da EVC e regista as últimas ações do maquinista, os últimos parâmetros da sinalização e as condições da máquina. Este gravador de eventos do comboio (trem) é funcionalmente equivalente ao gravador de voo (caixa negra) numa aeronave.

Unidade de Interface do Comboio (Trem)
A Unidade de Interface do Comboio (em inglês: Train Interface Unit, TIU) é a interface da EVC com o comboio e/ou a locomotiva para enviar comandos ou receber informações.

Equipamento ao lado da linha
O equipamento da linha é a parte fixa da instalação ETCS. De acordo com os níveis ETCS, a parte da instalação relacionada com os carris (trilhos) diminui. Enquanto que no Nível 1 as sequências com duas ou mais eurobalizas são necessárias para a troca do sinal, no Nível 2 as balizas são usadas apenas para a aplicação de marcadores. É substituído no Nível 2 por comunicação móvel e software mais sofisticado. No Nível 3, ainda menos instalação fixa é usada. Em 2017 foram realizados os primeiros testes com sucesso para o posicionamento por satélite.

Eurobaliza
A Eurobaliza é um dispositivo da antena passivo ou ativo montado nas travessas ferroviárias. Principalmente, ele transmite informações ao veículo circulante motor. Pode ser organizado em grupos para transferir as informações. Existem Balizas Fixas e Balizas de Dados Transparentes (em inglês: Transparent Data Balises). Balizas de Dados Transparentes enviam informações de mudança da LEU para os comboios (trens) como, por exemplo, indicações dos sinais. Balizas Fixas são programadas para as informações especiais como os gradientes e as restrições de velocidade.

Euroloop
O Euroloop é uma extensão das Eurobalizas no ETCS Nível 1. É um Cabo radiante (em inglês: Leaky feeder) especial para a transmissão de telegramas de informação para o veículo circulante motor.

Unidade Eletrónica da Linha
A Unidade Eletrónica da Linha (em inglês: Lineside Electronic Unit, LEU) é a unidade de conexão entre Balizas de Dados Transparentes com sinais ou para o Controlo de sinalização no ETCS Nível 1.

Bloco Central de Rádio
Um Bloco Central de Rádio (em inglês: Radio Block Center, RBC) é um dispositivo de computação especializado com especificação de Integridade de Segurança Nível 4 (em inglês: Safety Integrity Level 4, SIL 4) para gerar Autoridades de Movimento (em inglês: Movement Authorities, MA) e transmiti-lo aos comboios (trens). Recebe informações do Controlo da Sinalização (em inglês: Signalling Control) e dos comboios (trens) do seu troço ferroviário. Hospeda os dados geográficos específicos do troço ferroviário e recebe as chaves criptográficas dos comboios (trens) que circulam. De acordo com as condições, o RBC atenderá os comboios (trens) com MA até à saída do troço ferroviário. O RBC definiu interfaces para comboios (trens), mas não possui interfaces regulamentadas para o Controle da Sinalização e possui apenas regulamentação nacional.

I would recommend you look into repairing it yourself if you are comfortable. There are videos and information on how to do it all over the net and the method of performing a RRoD fix is very well known now-a-days.
I cracked my case open a year ago and repaired my RRoD console. Its easier than you think - crack the case open, yank out the dvd drive and fan (and fan shroud), then take out the motherboard. Remove the 2 heatsyncs and clean all the old thermal paste off both the chips and heatsyncs. Apply new thermal paste to the heatsyncs and bolt them onto the motherboard with ~6mm to 10mm long M5 bolts (get rid of those x-clamps, they put too much pressure on the board!!!). Plug the board back in (plug the motherboard in to the power supply leaving everything else taken off of it except for the heatsyncs and the RF modulator/power button) and turn it on. Allow it to stay on until it overheats (it will start flashing 2 lights when it has overheated) - this will basically "reflow" the soldier joints (since most people dont have a reflow machine, this method must be used - a heat gun will also work if you have one). Once it overheats and you get the 2 flashing lights, unplug the board and allow it to slowly cool to room temp. Once it has cooled, slap it back in the case and connect everything back together (dont put screws in just yet tho - we want to power it on first to make sure it greens up and works). Make sure the power and video cables are plugged in and power it up. It should green up and you should be good to go.
I would also 12 volt mod your fan (splice the positive wires from your 2 fans into the 12v positive for the dvd drive) so that your fans constantly run at a full 12 volts. They will make a bit more noise but they will keep your xbox super cool - reducing the likelihood of a future RRoD (or at the very least extend the life of your repair).
Doing what I have done above, I have successfully repaired my xbox 360 and it has been running steady now for almost 3 years without issue. If you are confident working with electronics/tools, I highly recommend doing the fix. All you need is some thermal paste (use Arctic Silver-5 from Radio Shack) a Torx-8 and a Torx-10 screw-drivers, and some pliers. Search YouTube for some great how-to vids.
I had fun repairing my unit. Since then I have also repaired 3 other units for friends. Only 1 of the units would not work after performing the RRoD fix (replace the 2 x-clamps and thermal paste, and 12v mod the fan), but it was a launch console that had already been RRoD fixed once. If you have never RRoD fixed your console the odds are much greater that it will be a successful fix.
...and remember, the best advice I can give is to make sure whoever fixes your console 12v mods your fan. Good cooling is essential to prolonging your unit's life - it may be a little louder but it will greatly extend the life of your fixed console. Xbox 360's are notorious for heat problems - this is the reason you have to fix it (well, that and the stupid lead-free soldier they used that is totally unsatisfactory).
Whatever you do OP dont repair it yourself. All x-clamp replacement methods are mostly temporary at best. Plus not to mention if you screw it up, then your console is practically screwed for good.
Now if you never modded your console in the first place then maybe you oughta consider sending it to Microsoft.....That of course if it isnt modded and is still covered under warranty. Best advice you can get if your console is under warranty, and un-modded.

Hyundai, Kia develop solar vehicle roof to generate energy for EVs
Pankaj Singh November 2, 2018 Technology
Hyundai and Kia have reportedly announced a new solar-panel roof for cars which is set to debut next year. Electric vehicle manufacturers offer consumers a number of choices when it comes to the source of energy for powering their vehicles and experts say that although adding solar panels to the roof of vehicles directly could produce energy on the go, it may not be quite efficient.
Apparently, the major problem with adding solar panels on the roof is that it cannot generate enough energy to power much of the vehicle functions. Previously, Toyota had an optional solar roof on its earlier PHEV Prius, though it generated only 50 W and powered the fans for the AC. However, a number of automakers are seemingly moving ahead with new systems that could be capable of adding some energy to the batteries for powering the vehicle.
The latest automakers to advance on the initiative, Hyundai and Kia, are allegedly developing three different solar cells for all types of vehicles, ICE to all-electric. The first-generation technology would be for hybrid cars, while the second-generation comes for the ICE vehicles with a semi-transparent solar roof system. The third generation technology will be included in a battery electric vehicles with a lightweight solar roof, the companies informed.
Jeong-Gil Park, Hyundai's Executive Vice President of Engineering and Design Division, who is also the developer of the technology, mentioned that the company expects to witness various types of energy-generating technologies integrated into its vehicles in the future. Park added that designing this technology for vehicle owners will help them to shift from being energy users to energy producers.
The solar cells in the electric vehicles would be semi-transparent and will probably enable a glass roof. The companies confirmed their plans to launch this technology in vehicles as early as next year.

If you've ever moved a business to a new office, then you know it can be very nerve-racking. Despite Houston's abundance of vacant office space and subdued leasing activity, the average asking rent price has increased a bit. This means in addition to the stress of moving, you have stressed before the move with finding a suitable location and then using that market leverage to negotiate a favorable lease price.
Overall it adds up to a lot of work and when you throw your IT resources into the mix, such as computers, phones, servers, internet, and phone service, and more..it becomes quite a daunting task.
That being said, from a provider of Houston IT services perspective, when it comes to moving tech and IT equipment—Murphy's Law is in FULL effect. Yes, everything that can go wrong will likely go wrong. After all, we've coordinated multitudes of moves for Houston companies and have seen where at least one thing goes awry every single time. How do you mitigate the risk of error when moving IT and tech? You revert to your checklist. You do have your checklist right? We do.
Don't worry, you're not the first company that completely overlooks the IT checklist when moving locations and you won't be the last—but with our IT checklist below, you will be the smartest when you move—after all, you don't want to be the Dwight Schrute of your company, do you? Then let's get on it and make sure all of these items are ready to go prior to moving in.
One of the first things you need to check before considering a new office location is the quality of the internet service providers (ISP) that are available in the area. Depending on the type of internet connection and speed you need, there might be a slight delay before service can be activated, so it's good to have all of this in place before moving. A simple phone call is all it takes to make sure you have internet up and running before you move in. You don't want to move everything over and then wait on internet—that would kill productivity.
Being in the Houston IT Services industry, one of the biggest mistakes companies make when moving, is assuming phone service and phones will be at the new building waiting and up and running. Just as with internet, you need to make sure these services are set-up, and ready for use before you even move in. Check availability and compare carrier prices and features for your area as not every carrier has availability in every office. This is where we find the value in a cloud-basedphone system. If your phone system is cloud-based, then this checklist item is covered with your internet service and that's one less thing to worry about on the list.
When moving to a new office in Houston, you've got to make sure that your new space is fully run with cabling that supports computers, phones, printers and more in a network environment. If the cabling is insufficient you will need to have a licensed cable installer run the required cables to the areas needed. You'll want to test the cabling as well before move in to prevent any surprises.
These days most offices have their own alarm system or some type of badge access system as well. Safety is important but keepin mind to have it done properly, these things can take time to install and discover any exploits or bugs. Security providers will come out to your pending office space and give you a quick estimate on the time and cost it will take to get it all done. Don't forget quotes for window points of entry as well as doors.
With Wi-Fi quickly becoming the new way to compute given itsrange and freedom—you better coordinate with your cabling installer and your Houston IT services provider and install the right amount of wireless repeaters, access points and range boosters required to keep stable coverage all over your new space.
This one goes hand in hand with alarm controls. Planning out the camera system and design layout for the building is a key step in keeping your business secure in a new location right away. Your cabling installer can run camera cables for you and create hook up points easily.
If you own your own small army of prosumer office printers then you should be fine moving them yourself. However, if you lease a large printer such as a Xerox D95A or a huge digital press, you will need to organize with your vendor to make sure they transport your machines to the new location safely and on time. With the average price range upwards of $53,500 or more—it's not something you just want to load up in a UHAUL with your employees and shimmied into the elevator. Printers that size and digital presses need to be secured and calibrated for moving so you want to leave it to a qualified Houston IT services provider—they do it all the time.
We know it's 2018—but there is always that handfulof customers that insist on hanging on to fax technology. There is an easy way around this though. Ditch the archaic fax machine and switch to digital fax providers such as eFax®. Using eFax® all you need to do is make sure your printers are in place and running as well as your internet service, everything else is cloud-basedand easier than a fax machine.
Ready To Get Moving? Skip The Hassle And Call Marimon.
If you're planning to move your office don't add any more stress to your employees and yourself than necessary. Get the help you need from the Houston IT Services leader. We can make sure your office transition is smooth and seamless. No need to worry if everyone did their part—we do it all you just follow us and get back to work in your new location.

Making good decisions fast is a critical skillset and a great tool to help is a Decision Matrix, especially a Weighted Decision Matrix. This tool has many names, such as a Pugh Matrix in Six Sigma speak or a Grid Analysis, but let's get straight to the point and show the value in an interactive example.
Scroll down and you'll see how each company did.
IMPORTANT: be sure to move around the sliders so you can see exactly how this tool works.
Decision Matrix Templates provide a quick and easy way to make decisions. It's particularly powerful where you have many good alternatives to choose from, and many different factors to take into account. This makes it a great technique to use in almost any important decision where there isn't a clear winner.
It's important to realize we all believe our dilemmas, and our lives, are complex. Often much more complex than they need to be, and so it's wise to break it down to a maximum of 3 factors.
List these at the top row of the template under the titles Factors and on the first column of the template you can label your Choices.
10 means the Factor is very important to you. 5 is about the lowest you want to see here as if you deem a Factor of 0 importance, then it shouldn't be on the list. Don't worry about this too much, move on, as we'll be able to play around with the weightings later.
10 is a great score, 5 is medium, and 0 is a bad score. Move quickly and don't spend a lot of time deliberating this section. It's asked often, but it's fine to have two factors with the same weighting or level of importance.
Scroll down to see the winning score out of a possible 300. The calculator multiplies each score by the respective weighting and adds each up for an overall score. In our case Jamie Smith is a clear winner for a second date.
The real power is sliding around the Factor Weightings to see how the outcome is affected. You'll be surprised how often a winner stands above the rest when put through this sort of a sensitivity analysis.


First ever cover of the New Yorker in 1925. Now published 47 times a year, it has a fine literary tradition.
There is a curious tradition in America where journals and newspapers of all kinds "endorse" (or support) one or other of the leading candidates for President.
For example, there was an amused titter the other day, for example, when a leading Utah newspaper (Utah being the "Mormon" state) came out against Romney calling him untrustworthy. Ooops.
This endorsing of candidates is a phenomenon seen around the world, but it is engaged in somewhat desultorily in other democracies, and rarely to any great effect.
Probably the only time of any great note recently in the non-US English-speaking world was when the Sun newspaper under Rupert Murdoch switched from the Tories under John Major and backed Labour's Tony Blair. But in general, it rarely means anything much except in the USA.
The New Yorker is an august production, with a fine tradition of both political cartooning and political comment, as well as a diverse range of articles on other topics. It is not, however, it must be said, hugely influential any more, although it is highly respected. Although its reviews and events listings often focus on the cultural life of New York City, The New Yorker has a wide audience outside of New York. It is well known for its illustrated and often topical covers, its commentaries on popular culture and eccentric Americana, its attention to modern fiction by the inclusion of short stories and literary reviews, its rigorous fact checking and copy editing, its journalism, and its single-panel cartoons sprinkled throughout each issue.
It is a shame, really, that it is less influential than in the past, because it has just delivered one of the finest pieces of political writing I have come across in a very, very long time. It is well-researched, sparsely written, convincing and relevant. And sure, it endorses Obama, and I have made no secret of my passion for having the President re-elected.
But that is not why I suggest you read it.
In a world bedevilled by sound bites and the dumbing down of politics it stands out as principled, erudite, and yet easy to understand by all and sundry.
What an example it sets for us all. Honestly, if anyone can find a comparable piece of writing endorsing Romney I promise I will republish it. I strongly urge you to read this whatever your political persuasion.
The final paragraph gives you an insight into its quality.
The re-election of Barack Obama is a matter of great urgency. Not only are we in broad agreement with his policy directions; we also see in him what is absent in Mitt Romney—a first-rate political temperament and a deep sense of fairness and integrity. A two-term Obama Administration will leave an enduringly positive imprint on political life. It will bolster the ideal of good governance and a social vision that tempers individualism with a concern for community. Every Presidential election involves a contest over the idea of America. Obama's America—one that progresses, however falteringly, toward social justice, tolerance, and equality—represents the future that this country deserves.
Love everything about this post, Yolly. Thanks for putting in your $0.02!
Certainly in the fifty years I have been reading it (on and off) the New Yorker has consistently maintained its style level, an impressive performance. This article was well worth reading. Thanks.
My pleasure: I am grateful, as always, that you took the time to drop by and comment – and I would urge you to share the article widely, especially to Undecideds 🙂 And also because of its innate quality.

Configure Sendmail email server to use SSL encryption for sending/receiving email. This is an example of using a CA certificate rather than a self-signed certificate. This article assumes that the CA certificate is already in place and ready to go.
Modify the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file. Find the section with similar variables that is commented out and copy this under it.
At the bottom of the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc append the following lines or something similar to meet your needs. Applying ciphers are better than leaving them at default ciphers. The ones below is one of many possible examples. You will have better ratings by any online scanner.
A note about ciphers. Determine if sendmail 8.11, 8.12, or 8.13 is compiled with _FFR_TLS_1. STARTTLS support was added in sendmail 8.11.
Make a directory and copy your certs into it. Then make sure that the certs are all 0600 perms.
On an earlier test, the 250-STARTTLS was not present. In that case, the reason, the certs had incorrect permissions. Upon setting them to 0600. All went well. I was able to track down this problem in the /var/log/maillog file.
A successful implementation should result with a 250-STARTTLS.

Spotted turkeys for £2 at Asda so caught 12
By Peter Michel On Jan 5, 2023
A SAVVY customer who bought twelve identical food items from the cut-price section of a supermarket has insisted she doesn't mind people 'blaming' her for not saving some for others.
Charlotte Webb took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group and posted a photo of many turkey crowns stacked in her shopping cart.
Charlotte Webb was delighted after bagging 12 £2 turkeys in the cut-price section of a supermarketCredit: Facebook / ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK
Alongside the image, she wrote: '£2 each to Chester Asda, got 12, and whoever wants to put my message on the slate, I don't care.'
She then went on to justify herself: "I gave 3 to my family, I saved some for my daughter who loves turkey (she has autism) and I always help the community with a pantry in my utility, so everything will serve well.
"No food waste here.
"I will put 1 in the bag when someone asks for help with food, canned vegetables and gravy for a meal for them."
It wasn't long before the post quickly garnered an impressive 3,500 likes and was inundated with comments.
"Good deal, great find," enthused one.

A second praised: 'Good on you – such a shame people have to justify themselves here.'
A third reassures: "Never explain yourself to anyone."
Meanwhile, a fourth congratulated: "Wow! That's awesome! Well done."
Another wrote, "Well done! I love it when people do great deals."
And another admitted: 'If I could fit that much in my freezer I'd be the same.
However, elsewhere, others had the same question.
"Why do people say how many they bought? asked one.
A second noted: "But you know you could save yourself the aggro of feeling like you have to explain yourself or people's comments by just posting a picture of a single turkey and not mentioning the 12.
"I would, but I won't say how many I picked up."
Another agreed: "I still don't know why people bother to say how much they bought when they know they will get negative feedback about it.
"If you don't want to bother responding to negative reviews, don't say how many you bought, no one needs to know how many you bought."

Q: Synchronization in CUDA I read cuda reference manual for about synchronization in cuda but i don't know it clearly. for example why we use cudaDeviceSynchronize() or __syncthreads()? if don't use them what happens, program can't work correctly? what difference between cudaMemcpy and cudaMemcpyAsync in action? can you show an example that show this difference?

A: Moreover, __syncthreads() becomes really necessary when you have some conditional paths in your code, and then you want to run an operation that depends on several array element.
Consider the following example:
int n = threadIdx.x;

if( myarray[n] > 0 )
{
     myarray[n] = - myarray[n];
}
double y = myarray[n] + myarray[n+1]; // Not all threads reaches here at the same time

In the above example, not all threads will have the same execution sequence. Some threads will take longer based on the if condition. When considering the last line of the example, you need to make sure that all the threads had exactly finished the if-condition and updated myarray correctly. If this wasn't the case, y may use some updated and non-updated values.
In this case, it becomes a must to add __syncthreads() before evaluating y to overcome this problem:
if( myarray[n] > 0 )
{
     myarray[n] = - myarray[n];
}
__syncthreads(); // All threads will wait till they come to this point
// We are now quite confident that all array values are updated.
double y = myarray[n] + myarray[n+1];

A: cudaDeviceSynchronize() is used in host code (i.e. running on the CPU) when it is desired that CPU activity wait on the completion of any pending GPU activity.  In many cases it's not necessary to do this explicitly, as GPU operations issued to a single stream are automatically serialized, and certain other operations like cudaMemcpy() have an inherent blocking device synchronization built into them.  But for some other purposes, such as debugging code, it may be convenient to force the device to finish any outstanding activity.
__syncthreads() is used in device code (i.e. running on the GPU) and may not be necessary at all in code that has independent parallel operations (such as adding two vectors together, element-by-element).  However, one example where it is commonly used is in algorithms that will operate out of shared memory.  In these cases it's frequently necessary to load values from global memory into shared memory, and we want each thread in the threadblock to have an opportunity to load it's appropriate shared memory location(s), before any actual processing occurs.  In this case we want to use __syncthreads() before the processing occurs, to ensure that shared memory is fully populated.  This is just one example.  __syncthreads() might be used any time synchronization within a block of threads is desired.  It does not allow for synchronization between blocks.
The difference between cudaMemcpy and cudaMemcpyAsync is that the non-async version of the call can only be issued to stream 0 and will block the calling CPU thread until the copy is complete.  The async version can optionally take a stream parameter, and returns control to the calling thread immediately, before the copy is complete.  The async version typically finds usage in situations where we want to have asynchronous concurrent execution.
If you have basic questions about CUDA programming, it's recommended that you take some of the webinars available.

Reliance Infrastructure's trust will own 10 road projects, and the company is keen to add another road project if SEBI allows.
MUMBAI: Reliance Infrastructure plans to raise Rs 5,000 crore through Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvITs) in the fourth quarter of 2016-17 to pare debt.
Infrastructures developers like IRB, GMR and IL&FS are keen to launch their infrastructure investment trust, which gives them an opportunity sell their stake in completed projects to the trust, which in turn can raise long-term and tax-free funds from unit holders. Reliance Infrastructure has already registered the trust with capital market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and will soon file a prospectus for approval.
"We want to sell at least 51% stake in the trust to raise Rs 5,000 crore. This means we will not have to take the debt of these projects on the consolidated balancesheet and the funds will help us repay dent," a senior company executive told ET.
In a press statement on Friday, Reliance Infrastructure said SEBI has granted the certificate of registration to the trust under terms of Regulation 6 of SEBI (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014 (Regulations).
The company is a developer and contractor of infrastructure projects, and has recently diversified into the defence sector. The company, through various special purpose vehicles, has executed and is currently operating eleven road projects with total length of around 1,000 kms on build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis, which will form the trust.
The Anil Ambani led-company has a consolidated debt of Rs 26,000 crore. With the repayment of debt from the InvIT proceeds and exclusion of the debt of these projects from the consolidated debt as the stake falls below 50%, the company expects the debt to reduce by Rs 7,500 crore.
Reliance Infrastructure, which is divesting in non-core assets to raise funds to pare debt, is also working on monetisation of roads and Mumbai power business in progress. It recently completed the 100% sale of cement subsidiary to Birla Corp for Rs 4,800 crore.

Each month one lucky blogger gets to host the hop and pick a a theme and then bloggers from all around the world get together and share their sweet creations. At first I was a bit stumped on a theme and then it came to me… merinuges.
This month's theme is Meringue Mania!
One of my all-time favourite desserts is a simple pavlova topped with whipped cream and berries. I could seriously eat it every day. I didn't realise quite how obsessed I was with it until I had a look around the blog and discovered five variations!
It's not just pavlova that I love though it's anything with meringue. Remember those squiggly coloured meringues with the chocolate button eyes you get at the bakery (might be an Aussie thing)?
They were my bakery treat of choice for years and years. I have gotten a bit fancier in my old age and now I'll take them however they come. Are you game to get whipping?
Do you have a family lemon meringue pie recipe or vegan meringue icing? Are you famous for your meringue cake or do you make a mean meringue melting moment? Well get in that kitchen and start creating.
Theme: 'Meringue Mania' – sweet treats made from or including meringue.
