Will taming Google and Facebook change the ad landscape?
In this exclusive MartechAsia, Bench Media CEO, Ori Gold, explains why APAC governments and regulators have not challenged Google's ad dominance and how the ad landscape will change should giants like Google and Facebook be tamed.
The news of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's calls to curb Google's use of internet data to sell targeted ads and the US Justice department's imminent anti-monopoly lawsuit against Google have driven marketers in a frenzy.
MartechAsia caught up with programmatic solutions company Bench Media's CEO, Ori Gold on Australia's challenge of Google's ad dominance. In this interview, Ori shares his insights on how Google's ad dominance has affected ad tech players and consumers in Australia, US and Asia and why regulators are beginning to consider laws to limit ad dominance by large players like Google and Facebook.
Google dominates Adtech. Now that Australia has challenged Google's ad dominance, how do you think it will affect Google's business?
Google has pioneered the ad tech and digital advertising space. Yet their dominance became an area for concern around data privacy for consumers. I am proud of the Australian government for taking the necessary steps towards protecting consumers and businesses.
Google was highlighted mainly due to the increasing regulatory pressure both in Australia and overseas. The company has already made deals with 50 publishers in Australia, and over 500 in the world currently as part of its News Showcase. Google has been signing deals with Seven West Media, Nine, News Corp and in the last few months also with ABC, SBS, The Guardian and other smaller players including Junkee Media. This is a direct effect of the Australian bargaining code and the five-year Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) watchdog inquiry into the digital platforms.
The move by Australia is a great start and will allow brands and agencies to examine their ad and marketing channels and platform in a more holistic way. The last thing that a CMO or an agency wants is to put all their eggs in the Google (and Facebook) basket as such a move would be against their strategic interest.
If Google is tamed, how do you think the ad landscape will change? Will it lead to a level playing field?
Though Google has completely disrupted the ad and digital landscape, over the last few years their dominance has had an effect on the pace of innovation and competition for other players in the industry. I expect this to change in the next few years as we'll see lots of innovation including new areas such as CTV, DOOH and OTT, local media publishers fueling their own first-party data, and the rise of digital and programmatic audio.
How should marketers prepare for the future of ads?
Digital transformation has been a major catalyst for the rapid change in advertising, and we've seen a few significant changes. One upcoming change is that companies will begin to incorporate programmatic advertising as part of their growth and marketing strategy.
To make this happen, brands will need better tools and connectivity. When data is moving in real-time to stakeholders, platforms will need to adapt and offer seamless campaign management in order to capitalise on the real-time movement of data to consumers.
The rise in digital consumption is strong. With a strong digital presence, people are also consuming products and services digitally, leading to the booming rise of the e-commerce industry in Asia. As the e-commerce industry grows, so will the need for programmatic advertising, which is already very well established in Asia and will continue to grow rapidly in response to this need.
As such, organisations should begin to assess their marketing and advertising strategies that they currently have in place and ensure they have the right digital tools and infrastructure enabling them to respond to these trends and to take advantage of the various digital and ad technologies available.

Save yourself! Groups create a sturdy emergency shelter out of bamboo. The shelter must be large enough to fit one person. Now the most important question: Which member of the group gets to use the shelter in an emergency?
Students explore dome shape construction. In this dome shape construction lesson, students explore the history, strength, and endurance of the dome shape design.


Electronics giant Samsung appears to be turning its direction towards cryptocurrencies as it continues to develop the next generation of phones.
This time it is targeting the UK market, with an application already filed with the U.K. Intellectual Property Office for its 'Samsung Crypto Wallet'. The suggestion is that Samsung is planning to begin building cryptocurrency facilities into its popular range of phones which retail at around $750 in the US.
Speculations have been circulating for some time about whether the South Korean giant plans to take the cryptocurrency route, particularly since its filing of three EU trademark applications for blockchain- and cryptocurrency related software in December of this year.
The area of blockchain is one as yet which has been little explored by major phone developers and manufacturers. The first move into the sector was made by Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC recently when the company developed a decentralized bowser called Brave on its HTC Exodus phone calling it the "the first native blockchain phone." The Exodus provides support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) networks.
Also in November of this year, Sirin Labs' developed its new smartphone, Finney. The smartphone will compete with the likes of HTC's Exodus DLT phone and other non-blockchain phones for a market share of the trillion-dollar-plus smartphone industry.

With the advent of the latest blockchain smartphones in the market, more clarity is now expected on their workings and features. Latest news now being reported is that the decentralized browser Brave will now be the default internet exploring option in the new HTC's blockchain smartphone named Exodus 1.
Brave is an open-source decentralized browser which has built-in ad blocking and website trackers that are a mainstay in conventional browsers like Chrome and even Safari. The browser will come pre-installed and on default in the new HTC Exodus blockchain phone because of its various useful features. The Exodus 1 itself, launched in May, will have support for multiple blockchain networks including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Brave itself had an ICO back in June 2017 with its Basic Attentio Tokens (BAT) and raised USD 35 million in just 30 seconds. These tokens can be used to pay for premium content on the Brave platform. Other competitors of Brave include a new Opera browser for Android that had a built-in crypto wallet and encrypted communications.
HTC is struggling to become relevant in a smartphone industry increasingly being dominated by Apple, Samsung and Huawei. The Taiwanese tech giant is now working with a number of innovative ideas to make its smartphones more appealing to the end user.
The partnership comes at a time after the first blockchain-based smartphone is already in the market: Sirin Labs based in Israel launched the Finney last week. It is yet to be seen how the market will respond to these blockchain phones.

Call me high maintenance, but I love a good spa. From chocolate manicures to open-air massages, I can't resist a little rest and relaxation. And if R&R is what you crave, The Lodge at Woodloch is the perfect destination. This secluded spot, nestled in the quaint town of Hawley, has been the definition of peaceful for 12 years and counting.
With a gated entrance and valet parking, arriving at The Lodge at Woodloch feels like something out of a celebrity vacation. Inside, the royal treatment continues. If you're considering a weekend getaway, this adult's only, all-inclusive resort is the perfect escape. All guests of The Lodge at Woodloch must be 16 years of age and older, so if you're looking for peace and quiet, you've come to the right place. Lodge guests have first dibs on spa appointments and will enjoy three meals a day at The Lodge's farm-to-table restaurant, Tree. (More on that later!) If an overnight stay isn't in the cards, purchase a day pass to access the spa, fitness classes, and a first-class lunch or dinner.
Whether you're receiving massages on the regular or are new to the spa scene, The Spa at The Lodge at Woodloch is sure to leave you in a state of nirvana. And listen up, gentlemen, contrary to popular belief, spas are not just for the ladies!

During my visit, my guy and I opted for The Lodge Massage, a classic Swedish massage with your choice of aromatherapy oils.
After 50-minutes of pure bliss, we spent the afternoon enjoying all the spa has to offer, including a variety of relaxation lounges, saunas, and steam rooms. Don't miss the outdoor Horizon Edge Whirlpool – think infinity pool meets hot tub. This experience is a must-do during the winter!
Remember that delicious meal I mentioned? Look no further than Tree. With an ever-changing menu of naturally-raised meats and fish and organic vegetables, Tree does fine dining right. FYI, the salad bar is incredible. I know, I know, "salad bar" – eek! But this is no ordinary salad bar. You'll delight in the array of toppings, with everything from beets and beans to cucumbers and cranberries. Don't leave without sampling the soup and checking out the serious spread of breads. Did I mention there are baked goods, too? I could live off of this salad bar. While you dine, indulge in a glass of wine from an award-winning wine list, or treat yourself to a seasonal margarita. It's five o'clock somewhere, right?
Activities abound throughout the 400+ acre property, including hikes along the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack, snowshoeing, and even ice fishing. The Lodge also offers forest bathing and is one of only two locations in the United States with a certified instructional team.

Q: What does this command of class mean in kotlin? I'll be direct, my question is what mean ::class in kotlin? I also want to know what means ::class.java.
I see a lot of this commands but i never understand what this really mean. E.g: MyClass::class.java

A: Web search for "::class" in kotlin finds Class references in the Reflection chapter of the Kotlin Language Guide:

The most basic reflection feature is getting the runtime reference to a Kotlin class. To obtain the reference to a statically known Kotlin class, you can use the class literal syntax:
val c = MyClass::class

The reference is a value of type KClass.
Note that a Kotlin class reference is not the same as a Java class reference. To obtain a Java class reference, use the .java property on a KClass instance.

No matter how rich web content becomes, HTML lies behind it all, pushing string-based content out to web browsers. It is no accident, then, that PHP provides many functions with which you can format and manipulate strings. Similarly, dates and times are so much a part of everyday life that it becomes easy to use them without thinking. However, because the quirks of the Gregorian calendar can be difficult to work with, PHP provides powerful tools that make date manipulation an easy task.


Poverty remains one of the key global challenges. Entrepreneurship has been widely acknowledged as an important driver for economic growth and poverty alleviation. As traditional employment in big companies wilts, small companies and start-ups are becoming more important. This means headcount growth will mainly come from small scale and medium enterprises (SMEs). Experts predict that 70%-80% of jobs created in the private sector will come from these two groups.
SA has a high unemployment rate and is suffering from poor economic growth. Only about 1% of microenterprises that have started with less than five employees have grown to employ 10 people or more. A negative consequence of this fact is that these businesses are not helping solve the unemployment issue, and hardly contribute to the taxation base of the economy. Given the vital role of SMEs for job creation in developing and transitional countries, understanding the drivers of their growth is an important research challenge.
A team of international researchers, in co-operation with the school of business and finance at the University of the Western Cape, has done extensive research on success factors of SMEs during the last 15 years. Results show that we partly have to rethink how best to support business owners in SA. About 40%-50% of small business success depends on the business owner.
The person is the most important success variable. This is not surprising in a business of one to 50 employees, but has often been neglected in research. In such a small businesses the owner is typically the source of action. He or she is the one making important decisions on products and ways of production, as well as offered services. The business owner deals with important customers, suppliers, and employees — the business can rise or fall based on his or her decisions.
Our research shows that the variable with the highest correlation to entrepreneurial success is personal initiative (PI). PI has a positive effect on entrepreneurial outcomes, which includes firm growth, number of employees and innovation. The definition of PI is being self-starting, proactive and persistent, with a strong future orientation. By being self-starting, business owners can initiate changes or do something new to grow their business and differentiate from competitors. Being persistent means being resilient in overcoming barriers and dealing with uncertainty and failures on a day to day basis.
Other factors strongly influencing the success of small-scale entrepreneurs were innovativeness, learning orientation and achievement orientation. Furthermore, planning strategies, including goal setting, have a high and positive correlation to success. Interestingly, we found almost the same results in our research in Zimbabwe and Namibia.
What lessons should we learn from these results? We have to follow a partly new approach to make SA entrepreneurs more successful and reduce the failure rate in future, because up to now important factors contributing to success, such as personal initiative, were not part of entrepreneurial training. It is important that every intervention, such as training, be evidence-based. Too much money was wasted in the past.
Entrepreneurial training aimed at developing and enhancing small-scale businesses to allow them to grow and become more profitable must include the development of PI skills. Other training components should include learning how to be proactive, how to actively set and implement goals for one's business and plan with a long-term focus, and time management — as well as being innovative and generating and implementing new ideas.
This approach focuses on "concrete actions" of concrete individuals in the market and looks at resources and barriers for these actions, and how to improve them. A condition for a proactive approach is to develop a mindset as well as action strategies for effective implementation.
We compared the business success of the entrepreneurs who participated in such training with a control group. The training group improved their turnover and profit and employed more employees, while the control group (no training) stayed the same. The training showed, for the first time, that with the right entrepreneurial development one can not only improve the business success of small-scale entrepreneurs but also create employment — a win for the economy as a whole. On average one trainee created one new job within 12-18 months.
Based on our research, it is obvious that we need to start a broad entrepreneurship training initiative in all nine provinces. The training should deal with aspects of personal initiative, innovation and action strategies, with an action learning and action training approach, because we now know that this strengthens the business performance of entrepreneurs and will create more employment.
A precondition for improvement would be that politicians and civil servants understand why it is important to use evidence-based best practice as a starting point for change and that every intervention should be evaluated properly. A lot of money could be saved by this.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the government has shown no interest in the results of our research.

This is an excellent practicing game for students who are learning to skip count by 5's!
It can be used in groups of 2-3 players or individually. There are different variations and intervention possibilities also included.
Easy and fun to make, use, and teach!


With observers blocks introduced, farming automation can be done much more easily.
Question is, are there any specific limits on amount/usage of observer blocks, in addition to existing rules?
Well, as with everything, it's hard to tell you an exact limit. As a rule of thumb, do it for your own consumption. If you farm enough to sell hundreds of stacks, you are overdoing it.
Got it. My farming can barely fill a chest at a time. Since observer can only trigger redstone circuit when someone's on the plot, it will unlikely create much load.

The governments of Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador provide many programs and services to support your efforts to take care of your family, whether your children are newly born, in preschool or daycare, elementary or high school and beyond. Browse through the list below and see how your government can help.
Federal program titles are preceded by (CAN), while provincial program titles are preceded by (NL).
Basic preventive dental care is available to all young children in Newfoundland and Labrador through this program. Older children and adults may also qualify for some preventive and emergency services if they meet income guidelines.
Private insurance will always be billed first. If coverage is not available through private plans, then the provincial government will become payer of last resort.
In all cases, you should verify with your dental provider that the services to be rendered are covered before assuming that they will be.
For children under 12 years of age, the Dental Health Plan offers universal coverage for preventive dental services such as examinations, cleanings, fluoride applications, some X-rays, and routine fillings and extractions.
For older children (13-17 years), family income under $30,000 may qualify them for annual exams, some X-rays, routine fillings and extractions, and emergency exams if they meet income guidelines.
Adults receiving Income Support are eligible for emergency examinations.
Services must be received in Newfoundland or Labrador to qualify for coverage.
Children under 12 are automatically covered.
For older children, call 1-888-859-3535 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-888-859-3535 end_of_the_skype_highlighting for more information. In this case, application is made via the Newfoundland and Labrador Prescription Drug Plan.
This program helps parents care for a disabled child and the attendant extra expenses. The child's disability can be physical or developmental, and assistance is available for expenses directly related to the care of the child, or for services to enhance the child's potential for development and improvement.
The goal is to help the family keep the child at home in the family setting, without becoming overwhelmed financially or emotionally by the child's extraordinary needs.
The child must be younger than 18 years, and the family will submit to a needs analysis to confirm they qualify by income.
Contact your regional health authority for application information.
This benefit is for low-income families with children under age 18. The benefit amount is based on income and family size, and receiving it does not affect any Income Support entitlements.
Current income threshold is $22,630 for families with 1-3 children, and $22, 629 for families with 4 or more children. Maximum monthly benefits range from $28.08 to $124.25.
This benefit is automatically calculated with your last year's tax returns (yours and your spouse's, if applicable), along with the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB). Qualifying for the CCTB is a prerequisite for receiving the provincial Child Benefit.
Your family with children under 18 years of age, receiving the CCTB.
There is no application for this benefit—if you are receiving the CCTB, your provincial benefits will be included in that monthly payment. If you are not yet receiving CCTB, you should apply now.
The Department of Child, Youth and Family Services coordinates a network of Family Resource Centres, community-based programs organized around the needs of participating families. The activities and resources emphasize early childhood development and parenting support.
In a friendly, informal setting, parents and parents-to-be can find classes and programs ranging from drop-in playgroups and parenting workshops to clothing exchanges and community kitchens.
Parents or parents-to-be are welcome to stop in and review the programs offered. There may some eligibility requirements for certain programs, such as the prenatal nutrition support program.
Contact the Family Resource Centre most convenient to you.
This programs helps parents pay for quality care at an approved facility. Depending on family income, some or all of the cost of care may be covered. You get to choose the facility, and the subsidy is paid directly to the care provider.
In addition, if transportation is required to reach the nearest approved facility, you may be eligible for assistance with transportation costs.
To be eligible, you must need child care due to the fact you're working or attending school, or your child has developmental issues that require a special environment for delivery of services.
Income limits for a full subsidy are $27,500 for a single parent, or $27,840 for a two-parent family. After that, a sliding scale applies to the subsidy amount.
Low-income pregnant or new mothers may qualify for assistance from this program, which is intended to help pay for the cost of quality, appropriate food to encourage proper prenatal and infant nutrition.
The benefit—paid monthly by either direct deposit or mailed cheque, is $60 per month, with an additional $90 payment in the month of your child's birth. Therefore, it is to your benefit to apply as soon as you know that you are pregnant.
Pregnant mothers and families with a child under one year of age qualify, if the family's net income does not exceed $22,630.
If you are pregnant, contact the program coordinator at 1-800-508-4788 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-508-4788 end_of_the_skype_highlighting .
If your baby has already been born, apply for the Canada Child Tax Benefit, and the Mother Baby Nutrition Supplement will be bundled together with other assistance to which you are entitled through the Canada Revenue Agency.
If you are in the position of planning for the future of a disabled child requiring special support and services, a Support Trust may help bridge the gap you foresee between continuing government services and the supports you provided to the child when he/she lived at home..
The Support Trust assets and income are exempted when determining eligibility for Income Support or Home Support. The maximum exemption limit is $100,000. If your child moves from living independently to living in a group home or personal care home, the exemption is reduced to $25,000. If your child should have to move into a nursing home, the exemption will cease to exist altogether.

MeV Ultrafast Electron Diffraction and Microscopy for the Scientific Frontier
D. Xiang
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China
Historically particle accelerators are instrumental for high energy physics (accelerator based colliders) and photon science (accelerator based synchrotron source and FELs). Now there is growing interest in applying accelerator technology to solve the grand challenges in probing matter at ultrafast temporal and ultrasmall spatial scales. In this talk I will discuss how one can use MeV electrons produced in accelerators to study ultrafast dynamics at atomic scale through ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy techniques. This is made possible with the recent progress both in ultrafast lasers and in the generation and control of high-brightness electron beams used in modern accelerators. I will focus on advanced techniques such as THz streaking and THz compression that may push the resolution to the attosecond regime. Complementary to x-ray FELs, such facility is expected to enable access to new sciences by giving researchers unparalleled power and precision in examining the fundamental nature of matter. A comparison of performance reach to other methods is included.

The 113 MHz superconducting gun is used an electron source for the coherent electron cooling experiment. The unique feature of the gun is that a photocathode is held at room temperature. It allowed to preserve the quantum efficiency of Cs2KSb cathode which is adversely affected by cryogenic temperatures. Relatively low frequency permitted fully realize the accelerating field gradient what in in turn helps to achieve 10 nC charge and 0.3 microns normalized emittance. We present the achieved performance an operational experience as well.

A multipacting electron gun (MEG) is a micro-pulse electron source, based on secondary electron emission in a resonant microwave cavity structure, for the generation of low emittance electron bunches in continuous wave operation. Based on numerical simulations, an experimental test setup for low-energy electron beams at 3 GHz has been established. In this contribution we show a detailed description and characterization of the RF test stand, supported by first results on charge collection measurements of the output current with respect to important operational parameters like power transmission and modifiable mechanical dimensions in the assembly of the experiment. This is a milestone in the development of a MEG setup for higher energetic electron beams and subsequent investigation of essential beam characteristics like emittance and energy distribution for the optimization with regard to best possible beam quality and future fields of application.

High gradient rf photo-injectors have been a key development to enable several applications of high quality electron beams. They allow the generation of beams with very high peak current and low transverse emittance, satisfying the tight demands for free-electron lasers, energy recovery linacs, Compton/Thomson sources and high-energy linear colliders. In the paper we present the design of a new full C-band RF photo-injector recently developed in the framework of the XLS-Compact Light design study and of the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB proposal. It allows to reach extremely good beam performances in terms of beam emittance (at the level of few hundreds nm), energy spread and peak current. The photo-injector is based on a very high gradient (>200 MV/m) ultra-fast (RF pulses <200 ns) C-band RF gun, followed by two C band TW structures. Different types of couplers for the 1.6 cell RF gun have been considered and also a new compact low pulsed heating coupler working on the TM020 mode on the full cell has been proposed. In the paper we report the design criteria of the gun, the powering system, and the results of the beam dynamics simulations. We also discuss the case of 1 kHz repetition rate.

A novel Bimodal Electron Gun is designed to apply microwaves at two harmonically-related frequency in a 0.6 cell RF gun to increase the RF breakdown threshold and enhance the beam quality. This stratagem is intended to allow the RF gun structure to support a high accelera-tion gradient as well as to manipulate the emittance evolution in the half cell. By selecting a proper ampli-tude ratio and phase relationship between the first and second harmonic RF field components in the gun cavity, the superposition of the harmonic field components can provide a flat-top like RF profile to omitting the RF emittance component in the gun, while increase the RF breakdown threshold. The recent status of the Bimodal Electron Gun R&D is presented, including the designs of the novel two frequency RF structure and the simulation of the beam dynamic.

Planar nitrogen-incorporated ultrananocrystalline diamond, (N)UNCD, is a unique and attractive field emission source because of the capability to generate high charge beam, the simplicity of production without shaped emitters, and the ease of handling with moderate vacuum requirement. In the presented study using an L-band normal conducting single-cell rf gun, a (N)UNCD cathode has been conditioned to 42 MV/m with a well-controlled manner and reached a maximum charge of 15 nC and an average emission current of 6~mA during a 2.5 us emission period. The systematic study of emission properties during the rf conditioning process illustrates the tunability of (N)UNCD in a wide range of surface gradients. This research demonstrates the versatility of (N)UNCD cathode which could enable multiple designs of field emission rf injector for industrial and scientific applications.

At Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), we have recently established a capability to fabricate diamond array cathodes for electron beam sources. Our fabricated diamond field emitter arrays (DFEAs) are the arrays of micrometer-scale diamond pyramids with nanometer-scale sharp tips and produce high per-tip current (> 15 μA per-tip) in DC testing. For the beam divergence measurements, we designed and assembled a test stand consisting of a DFEA cathode, a mesh aperture of 0.375-inch for an anode, and AZO (ZnO:Al2O3) screen coated on a sapphire substrate for beam visualization. A negative voltage of about 40 kV is applied to the cathode, and the mesh and the screen are kept at ground. We measure a size of the electron beam on the AZO screen at different mesh to screen distances at a fixed cathode-mesh gap in order to calculate the beam divergence angles. We also perform the beam dynamics simulations with Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Studio and General Particle Tracer (GPT) using a single pyramidal shape with a nanowire tip model. In this presentation, the measured experimental results of the beam divergences will be compared to the beam dynamic simulations.

We present the design of a high-gradient electron gun. The goal of this gun is to generate relativistic electrons using GV/m accelerating fields. The initial design is a standing-wave field-emission gun operating in the pi-mode with a cavity frequency of 110.08 GHz. A pulsed 110 GHz gyrotron oscillator will be used to drive the structure with power coupled in through a TM01 circular waveguide mode. The gun is machined in two halves which are bonded. This prototype will be used to characterize the electron beam and study RF breakdown at 110 GHz.
TUPTS079 Overcoming Multipacting Barriers in SRF Photoinjectors 2105
V. Litvinenko, G. Narayan, I. Pinayev, F. Severino, K.S. Smith
Superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjectors are considered to be a potential breakthrough in the area of high brightness electron sources. However, there is always the very important question of the compatibility of SRF cavities and high quantum efficiency (QE) photocathodes. A deposition of active elements from high QE photocathodes on the surface of a cavity makes it more vulnerable to multipacting (MP) and could affect the operation of an SRF gun. On the other side, MP can significantly reduce the lifetime of a photocathode. It is well known in the SRF community that a strong coupling, high forward power and sufficient cleanliness of cavity walls are the key components to overcome a low-level MP zone. In this paper we present a theoretical model of passing a MP barrier which could help estimate the desirable conditions for successful operation of an SRF gun. We demonstrate our results for the 113 MHz SRF photo-injector for Coherent electron Cooling (CeC) alongside with the experimental observations and 3D simulations of the MP discharge in the cavity. The results of the theoretical model and simulations show good agreement with the experimental results, and demonstrate that, if approached carefully, MP zones can be easily passed without any harm to the photocathode.

The proposed electron source relies on the enhanced high electric field gradients at the cathode to simultaneously extract and accelerate electrons. The system will be tested in a conduction-cooled superconducting radio-frequency cavity recently demonstrated at Fermilab. In this paper, we present electromagnetic and thermal simulations of the setup that support the feasibility of the design.

Field-emission electron sources have been considered as possible candidates for the production of bright or high-current electron bunches. In this paper, we report on the experimental characterization of silicon-based field-emitter arrays (FEA) in a DC high voltage gap. The silicon cathodes are produced via a simple self-assembling process. The measurement reported in this paper especially compares the field-emission properties of a nanostructured and planar diamond-coated Si-based cathode.
TUPTS088 A Normal Conducting RF Gun as an Electron Source for JLEIC Cooling 2127
F.E. Hannon, R.A. Rimmer
The baseline design for a magnetized injector for the bunched-beam electron cooler ring, as part of the Jeffer-son Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) uses a DC photo-cathode electron gun as the source. A challenging aspect of this concept is transporting a 3.2nC electron bunch at low energy and preserving the angular momentum. An RF gun source has been investigated to gauge the potential advantages of high gradient on the photocathode and higher exit energy. The design is presented and compared with the baseline results.

We present the results of experimental observation of emission from single diamond field emitter tips when triggered by an ultra-short laser pulse. Diamond field emitter array (DFEA) cathodes were originally proposed for applications that require large current densities. DFEAs represent periodic arrays of diamond pyramids with micron-size dimensions and tips with diameters of the order of tens of nanometers. DFEAs are known to produce significant currents in field emission regime under direct current (DC) fields and in radio-frequency (RF) guns. It has been proposed that single diamond tip emitters can be employed for production of small tightly focused electron beams for dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) that accelerate particles using the energy of light produced by infrared lasers. To generate short electron bunches required by DLAs diamond pyramids may be triggered with a laser. We have recently observed emission produced by a single diamond pyramid when triggered by a laser at different wavelengths from 256 nm to 2020 nm. We have conducted studies with the goal to understand mechanism of the emission. We clearly observed the change in emission mechanism when the wavelength changed from 256 nm to 512 nm. We believe that while the emission at 256 nm is a clear photoemission, the emission at longer wavelengths is likely the field emission caused by intense electric fields of the laser.

Further experiments are being planned and work on the cathode design optimization to produce higher quality beams will be discussed.

Many applications such as compact accelerators and electron microscopy demand high brightness electron beams with small beam size and low emittance. Electric-field-assisted diamond emitters manufactured from semiconductor processes are strong candidates for cathodes in such sources. The micro-scale pyramid structure of the emitter has the desirable attribute of significant field enhancement at the sharp interfaces (apex and edges) to facilitate electron emission. We use the LSP particle-in-cell code to simulate the diamond emitter in a diode setup and obtain the beam size and divergence. An empirical fit of the fields around the apex is extracted for detail study. The trend of the beam divergence observed in the simulation is further corroborated using electron's trajectory in the empirical field model.

The study of magnetized electron beam has become a high priority for its use in ion beam cooling as part of Electron Ion Colliders and the potential of easily forming flat beams for various applications. The demand for high average current for effective ion beam cooling has caused consideration of using bunched magnetized electron beam produced by a gridded thermionic electron gun. This paper presents the design of a potential electron source for JCIEC first measurements characterizing the beam properties of a magnetized thermionic gun.

The high current and high bunch charge polarized electron source is essential for cost reduction of eRHIC. It aims to deliver electron beam with 10 mA average current and 5.3 nC bunch charge. We analyzed the mechanism of cathode degradation and proposed using a large strain superlattice GaAs photocathode in a high voltage DC gun to increase the charge lifetime above kilo Coulomb. The gun has been designed and fabricated and expected to start commissioning by the mid of this year. In this paper, we will present the modeling of ion back bombardment and cathode degrading. We proposed an anode offset scheme to increase cathode lifetime. Also, we will describe the details of gun design and the strategies to demonstrate high current high charge polarized electron beam from this source.

Photocathode laser shaping techniques to generate temporally shaped electron bunches are appealing owing to their simplicity. Such technique is being considered to form shaped electron bunches to enhance the transformer ratio in beam-driven accelerators. At low energy (i.e. during the emission process) the transverse and longitudinal space charge effects are coupled so that attaining a low beam transverse emittance require the laser to be spatiotemporal shaped. In this paper, we explore the generation of a linearly-ramped bunch with optimized transverse emittance by temporally and radially shaping the laser pulse to provide an adequate initial distribution. We discuss a possible implementation of the optical shaping technique and describe a planned experiment.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prepared to play off the ball for Thunder
Credit: Jesse Johnson - USA TODAY Sports
As much as Chris Paul remaining on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster isn't necessarily ideal for a team looking to rebuild and get under the luxury tax, having a future Hall of Fame point guard on the team does present Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — an important part of the franchise's future — with a unique learning opportunity. At the same time, it's probably not in the Thunder's best interest to limit Gilgeous-Alexander's minutes for a player who's not part of the team's plan to climb back toward the top of the league.
He might lose some minutes playing the point, but Gilgeous-Alexander may be able to actually share the floor with Paul. Because he's comfortable playing off the ball. His skills coach, Olin Simplis, explained to Brett Dawson of The Athletic how Gilgeous-Alexander playing the two is a non-issue.
He's used to playing off the ball. He played off the ball a lot last year. He'll be able to play with Chris and play off the ball. That's something he started to get more comfortable with as the season went on last year. He's comfortable at that. We don't want him deferring. We don't want any internal issues, but we don't want him deferring either.
Since Gilgeous-Alexander is comfortable in the off-guard role, he and Simplis are working on ways to further develop his offensive game, spending time on the pick-and-roll, incorporating different ways to finish around the rim, drilling threes off the dribble and, perhaps most importantly, getting his shot off quicker.
I had the same issue with Spencer Dinwiddie; so tall guards with long levers. Biomechanically, they're built differently, right? Long arms. They don't do a lot of bending the hips and knees to get their shot off in the first place. By the time the ball gets from pickup (point) to (shooting) pocket, their legs are gone. They're already at the top of their jump. So we worked on pounding the ball through the floor viciously to get it from pickup to pocket a little quicker. This summer we did it even more.
Simplis continued:
Now instead of just that hard dribble, we did a drill where we had the ball at his hip and exploded to his pocket — hip, pocket, hip, pocket and release — to get it off a little quicker. You just have to speed it up a little bit, without rushing the shot. They have to know, 'We're not telling you to rush the shot. We're just trying to get it to the pocket a little quicker, with still a nice, fluid release.' That's something we're still working on this summer as well.
Sam Presti already thinks highly of Gilgeous-Alexander. But there's a chance the sophomore guard exceeds even the Thunder general manager's expectations.

Pete Skjold had been playing bass for several years when he realized that to get what he wanted, he would have to design it himself. Eleven years after his first design, he began building full-time under the moniker Skjold Design Guitars, producing around 35 handmade basses annually.
A bass enthusiast to the core, we first caught up with Skjold at the Gerald Veasley Bass Boot Camp, where he taught a class and talked with just about everyone. We recently got to catch up with him again to get his story and opinions on the bass.
I have been playing bass since 1987, which led me on a quest. I was playing Tobias basses and was wanting to move to a six string. In 1990 Tobias Guitars was sold to Gibson, which left me searching for a replacement. I started designing basses in 1992 when I met a luthier named Chris Pearne in New Hampshire. This bass became my Standard '92 design.
After moving to Las Vegas in 1994, I showed the bass around to several players who really liked it. This got me thinking in terms of producing an instrument under my own name. I was originally going to have other luthiers build them for me since I had no idea as to how it was done. I came to the realization that it was going to be very costly, and I was going to have to do it myself if I wanted to keep the price down and keep the quality up. So in 1996 I started building the bodies. I had the necks for two basses built for me, but both of them had faulty truss rods, so I had to begin making necks too. It is hard to believe that the standard 92 will be twenty years old next year!
The concept is to have a comfortable bass that is designed to balance well. Weight is also a consideration for the professional who has to hold the bass for several hours on a gig. I also strive for flexibility and versatility in the tone department. I want the player to be able to get the tones he or she is wanting for any particular situation. That is why I use East preamps and my own custom designed pickups. They allow a lot of ability to reach specific tonal goals. One major objective though is to make a bass that sounds great passively before any preamp is applied. This way the preamp compliments the tone and works with the bass.
Besides building, you are a professional player. What styles do you gravitate to, and how do you think that affects your basses?
Being a professional player for many years, I was always trying to be as versatile as possible both in terms of my playing styles and the tones I could get to match the situation. I have played a full range of styles from country, rock, blues, old-school funk and R&B (soul) and jazz. This has all directly affected my design and build goals as I strive to build a bass that can handle all of these styles convincingly. Having that first hand experience has been my greatest asset as a builder.
You seem to be pretty available to anybody, via forums, email, etc. What is it about the bass community that keeps you engaged?
I love the bass guitar!! I love the music, the players and the sense of community that bass players enjoy. This is a great time to be part of all of it. This is something I truly enjoy doing and feel very fortunate to do so. The fact that other players care about what you have to offer just makes it that much better.
The process begins with finding out what the customer needs tonally. This gives us an idea of the tone woods we will be selecting. We then select pickup and preamps according to that.
After we have got all that in place we select top woods and other options based on the aesthetics the customer is after. This is usually done via emailed pictures of topwoods and fingerboards for the customer to choose from.
Finding out what the customer really needs and wants is what it is all about so this can be a involved process at times but it is worth it!
I use bolt-on exclusively because as a player who only played neck-through basses in the beginning, I realized there were certain tones or types of tones I couldn't get on neck-throughs. Because I wanted super versatile basses, that is the path I have gone down. There is nothing wrong with a neck-through bass of course, it just does certain things tonally which make it less flexible at times. It can be very hard to get a scooped tone on a NT bass because the NT design accentuates the midrange quite a bit, which usually means you get a great fingerstyle tone but slapping can be difficult. The high-end is also different on NT basses because of this. I have found that you can still get that great fingerstyle tone on a bolt-on bass if it is made properly and they can be EQ-ed to a greater extent and still sound natural. One misnomer is that a bolt-on is inferior to a neck-through as a rule. This simply isn't the case.
How did you hook up with John East to design the electronics for your instruments?
I was made aware of John East in early 2004 and right away was impressed by the versatility (there's that word again!) that his preamps were capable of producing. We have since worked closely to develop and customize preamps for my basses. I now have four unique preamps from John East which further enhances my ability to tailor the basses to the customer. He is a great asset.
Active pickups and passive pickups are fine, depending on what you are going for tonally. Active pickups generally are a low impedance, which make them lower output with a broader range of frequencies. Because of the lower volume you typically need to add a gain stage and buffer to them so you can bring up the output. When I first designed my basses back in 1992, I was made aware of Lane Poor and his pickups. They were basically passive pickups but worked best with a gain stage buffer, which then made them active. You could do this with any pickup. Typically passive pickups use stronger magnets and more winds to achieve output, but this does impact the tone of the pickup by enhancing usually the midrange and then the top end and low end of the tone. It is important to know what the passive pickup is giving you tone-wise when building a bass so it does work against the natural tone of the bass. At the end of the day either design is totally valid if it gives you the results you want when combined with the electronics and the natural tone of the bass.
I guess my favorite part is when the customer receives the bass and is really happy with it. That makes the whole process worth it. I also really enjoy selecting the woods and the finishing process. Plugging the bass in for the very first time is also a unique experience all it's own. I am very fortunate to say that the whole experience of building a bass is still a very gratifying one.
I have built around 250 basses, not including the batch I have now which is 30-plus and growing. I started building full time in late 2003, and for the first three years I did small batches as I was still refining and developing my processes. Since 2007 I've put out an average of 35 basses annually. I am a one man operation, and I dedicate a good portion of time to each individual customer, so this factors in. I continue to refine my processes and have acquired new tools that should allow me to push my output up into 45-50 basses annually.
The most recent basses have been refined as much as possible in terms of consistency and efficiency. The first ones varied a bit from batch to batch, because I also had a partner doing many of the processes up until the middle of 2005. After he left, I spent much of 2006 just standardizing my methods. With any good builder, you should see a noticeable difference in the earlier work to the present, and I have always admired the builders who have made to biggest strides in the shortest time. With every batch I try to improve upon something. I am finally at a place where that is getting harder and harder to do.
Wow, this is a hard one. I get some strange requests from time to time, but one thing I had a request for that was definitely unique was a bottle opener. It actually worked quite well in the end.
I would say go for it, but be careful, it is addictive!! Haha!! You might find yourself wondering where twenty years went!

A few of my friends have been telling me lately that I need to get into building basses and guitars. I just wouldn't know where to begin, but it is WAY intriguing. I'm tempted.


Ambulance services hire most of EMTs but they also offer the lowest wages. While the need for EMTs and paramedics in ambulance services is huge, this is probably the toughest jobs available on the market. EMTs are required to drive ambulances during emergency situations while obeying traffic safety laws. They are also the ones in contact with violent patients and exposed to contagious deceases.
EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is coordinating EMTs across local governments. EMTs are part of their emergency response system. EMTs can also pursue their classes and reach supervisors and EMT trainers license.
We would believe that EMTs and paramedics are all working in hospitals. However, only 20% of the workforce is hired by them. Cheaper than nurses, paramedics are very useful due to their level of knowledge and skills to operate complex health care equipment and EMT supplies. That is why they can be hired as medical assistant.
Other EMTs will work for private companies such as recreation companies and amusement parks. While you may have to travel, this is where you will get the highest EMT wages. However, private companies will usually hire paramedics over other EMTs. There are also positions available at retirement homes.
Private companies are also mostly the ones operating flight medic teams.


The Museo Archeologico Virtuale [MAV] at Herculaneum has carried out a virtual reconstruction of the House of the Gladiators at Pompeii, making it possible for visitors to see the building again via digital technology. The "real" House crumbled into the ground in September, giving rise to much debate about the preservation of Italy's architectural heritage and to calls for the Minister of Culture to resign.
The reconstruction, a project in 3D computer graphics by Raffaele Gentiluomo, allows visitors to view the building as it would have been before that fateful day in AD 79 and they are also offered a virtual tour of the cupboards where gladiators would have kept their arms.
Opened in 2008 the MAV, which occupies an area of 1,500 square metres, also offers visitors an opportunity to see reconstructions of daily life in Pompeii and other towns in Campania during the Roman era. There are over 70 multimedia installations which reproduce scenes and sounds from houses, theatres, schools and public baths.
The Museum is situated about 70 metres from the ancient site of Herculaneum and is open every day except on Tuesdays from 09.00 – 17.00. Entrance fee: €7.50.

The Kinematic Anomaly
The Kinematic Anomaly was an abnormal event that occurred at some time in 2016 in southern Wales. Several people were supposed witnesses of the event, but afterwards only one member of the party could recall any details of it, although even their recollection was self contradictory.
As far as can be reconstructed, the party were located indoors somewhere in southern Wales when the senior and most trusted member of the party (witness 1) threw an object across the room. According to the sole witness who could remember the event afterwards (witness *), that object "moved slightly" in the air. According to Witness *, this movement astounded Witness 1 and a third party to the anomaly (witness 2). As far as Witness * could remember afterwards, the reaction of Witness 1 did not merit the movement of the object, however, by their own sketch of the incident afterwards, Witness * drew the following:
In particular, the investigation ascertained that the object's motion both before and after the anomalous motion was in consonance: approximately aligned in trajectory and otherwise expected motion for an object in free fall. However, during the section of interest, the object moved anomalously. As far as the testimony of Witness * could be used to reconstruct the event, in written testimony they could not deny that the motion was extraordinary and could not be explained; however, curiously, they insisted in oral testimony that the motion was trivial and that Witness 1 was "dumb" for having been astounded by it.
Witness 1 had no recollection of the event at all afterwards. On repeated interrogation they insisted they could not recall either the event or their reaction to it. Witness 2 also professed no recollection of the anomalous event, although the investigators could not determine whether they were a direct witness of the event itself, or was a witness of any reaction to it, or was just present during the anomaly.
Witness * could not be convinced that their testimony was contradictory.
No explanation for the Kinematic Anomaly was proffered that was satisfactory to all the investigators, or indeed the witnesses. The basic facts themselves could not be verified and the sequence of events that was reconstructed was only the most probably ones given the testimony. The null hypothesis was that no anomalous motion occurred, and it was recollected incorrectly by the witnesses. However, the fact that Witness * both recalled the extraordinary reactions of those present and presented written drawings of the incident would indicate that something anomalous occurred. What the investigators could not explain is why Witness *'s written testimony contradicted their verbal testimony, and why all other witnesses to the anomaly could recollect no memory of it afterwards.

Q: Is it possible to use an Array object as a parameter in Spring Repository @Query annotation? Is it possible to use an Array object as a parameter in Spring Repository @Query annotation?
I'm trying to retrieve all rows in a table whose column node is present in an String array. Is it possible to do it at a time using the @Query annotation in Spring repository?
Here is my Location Entity:
@Entity
@Table(name = "LOCATIONS")
public class Location extends Measurement{

    private String latitude;
    private String nsIndicator;

    private String longitude;
    private String ewIndicator;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="node")
    private Node node;
}

Where node references the Node class, and it is mapped in the database as a BIGINT.
I have a repository like this:
public interface LocationRepository extends CrudRepository<Location, Long>{

    @Query(value=
            "SELECT l1.node, l1.id, l1.latitude, l1.longitude " +
            "FROM LOCATIONS l1 WHERE l1.node IN (:ids)",
            nativeQuery=true)
    List<Location> findMeasureByIds(@Param("ids") String[] ids);
}

There you can see the query that I'm trying to execute, but it's not working. I don't know if it's possible to use an array there, or parameters must be just Strings and/or Integers, I couldn't find it anywhere.
I've tried several combinations like using a simple String with the right format or a long array.. but nothing has worked so far.
Thanks in advance.
SOLUTION:
@Query(value="SELECT * FROM LOCATIONS l1 " +
             "INNER JOIN (SELECT node, MAX(id) AS id FROM LOCATIONS GROUP BY node) l2 " +
             "ON l1.node = l2.node AND l1.id = l2.id " +
             "WHERE l1.node IN :ids", nativeQuery=true)
List<Location> findLastLocationByIds(@Param("ids") Set<Long> ids);

I've added more functionality to the query because I needed to retrieve the last row inserted for each node identifier. So there's the MAX function and the INNER JOIN to do that work.

A: Use a collection instead of an array (Set<String>), and make sure it's not empty (otherwise the query will be invalid.
Also, there's no reason to use a native query for that, and you shouldn't have parentheses around the parameter:
@Query("SELECT l1 FROM Location l1 WHERE l1.node.id IN :ids")
List<Location> findLocationsByNodeIds(@Param("ids") Set<String> ids);

Bannon out at Breitbart
Published by Joshua Mercer at January 10, 2018
Steve Bannon continues a week of setbacks. He was forced to step down as the CEO of Brietbart News and he won't be hosting a show on Sirius XM as planned. Where's his next move? Fox News launched a preemptive strike: "Fox News will not be hiring Steve Bannon."
Breitbart announced the news Tuesday afternoon on its website, saying it would work together with Bannon on "a smooth and orderly transition."
"I'm proud of what the Breitbart team has accomplished in so short a period of time in building out a world-class news platform," Bannon said in a statement on the site.
"Steve is a valued part of our legacy, and we will always be grateful for his contributions, and what he has helped us to accomplish," Breitbart CEO Larry Solov said.

One of the important furniture for any kitchen is cabinets. But, it is a task to choose the perfect cabinet which meets all your requirements. Here is a guide to help you know more about cabinets to decide what to buy.
Kitchen cabinets cost almost 40% to 50% of the total project cost. Cabinets contribute majorly in the makeover of kitchen interiors. Hence, it is strongly suggested to set aside a fixed budget for cabinets alone.
First and foremost, you should decide where exactly to fit the cabinets. Once you decide on the space, take measurements all by yourself or with the help of a professional. Every salesman or the kitchen store will ask for this basic measurement. This also helps you to get precise estimates and ideas about the project.
There are three kinds of cabinets: Semi-Custom cabinets, Stock cabinets, and Custom Cabinets.
Semi-Custom cabinets – are nothing but stock cabinets which allow some alterations. These cabinets allow change of certain dimensions like increasing cabinet depth or resizing drawers and door fronts. Semi-custom is one of the best cabinets when compared to the other two – as it comes at the most affordable price with some custom modifications.
Stock Cabinets – are the cheapest of all. They are pre-manufactured and readily available. They are feigned in huge numbers based on a standard size, shape and limited styles of wood. Stock Cabinets are sold mostly in modular units and hence, no customisation is possible. However, affordable price and fast delivery make it the most preferred cabinets for many people.
Custom cabinets – are fully customised as per your specifications. However, these cabinets are costlier and demand intensive labour work. You need the assistance of a well-skilled carpenter to meet your expectations. It usually takes a week to few months for completing custom cabinets.
Invest in cabinets – depending on the house you are staying in is crucial. If you are going to stay in a house for a shorter period – you can simply select the basic style of stock cabinets. If you are building your dream kitchen and want the perfect interiors – you can go for top quality cabinets. Some of the things to keep in mind are – solid frames, door frames, doors, drawer fronts, closed backs and reinforced corners. Doors and drawers will be opened frequently and hence, should work quietly and smoothly. The wood finish can be stained, painted or laminated with different colours. Most importantly cabinets intended for longer use should assure durability and reliability.
If you are taking the assistance of an interior designer, choosing the right style for your home can be easier. But, if you are selecting the style all by yourself – you could look into magazines, visit modular kitchen stores or check online. This can give you a clear idea of the best cabinets suitable for your home. Do not forget to choose cabinets to complement the architecture and interior design of your home.

Silence on Orlando Massacre Is a Sin!
Certainly, last Saturday was a sad day for America. More than 100 people were killed or wounded by a criminal named Omar Mateen. A day before this tragedy a pop star named Christina Grimmie was killed by Kevin James. Christina had 3.2 million YouTube subscribers, yet the media soon stopped talking about Kevin James, because he was not a Muslim!
Islamic House of Wisdom was one of the first Islamic institutions that condemned the crime and expressed sympathy with the suffering families. Disagreement with homosexuality doesn't justify hate attacks and bloodshed.
We must stand strongly against the violation of people's rights, regardless of their race, religion or gender orientation.
Omar's expression of allegiance to extremist groups must make the administration consider a rapid review of its relationships with the Saudi Royal Family and other Gulf States which have been supplying the terrorists in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and other countries with money, media and military.
Also we ask Congress to rise to its responsibility to review the country's gun policy. Let's remember that those who attacked JFK, MLK and even Ronald Regan were not radical Islamists.
Since President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, more than 1.6 million people have been killed in this country by gun!
It's more than 1.4 million Americans who were killed in all wars! It's time to deprive killers like Omar Mateen access to that weaponry which enabled him to kill or wound more than 100 people in one single insane operation.
The Orlando tragedy calls to increase our national collective effort to develop better treatments for depression and mental illness, since the ex-wife of Orlando killer emphasized on the mental illness and abusive attitude of her ex-husband.
For us as Muslim Americans, Mohammad Ali of courage, truth and justice was a hero, not Bin-Laden and Baghdadi, al-Qaeda and Isis or other satanic symbols!
Extremism whether religious or political is an enemy of Islam, enemy of America and enemy of rationality!
Let's stand as one nation, with one voice, calling for compassion and love, rejecting hate, prejudice, violence and war.
This is the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, month of prayer and charity. Let's remember the victims in our prayers and their families with our support. I already scheduled to stop by at the Red Cross for a blood donation.
I would like to invite everyone to join us for a candle light vigil and prayer for the victims of recent shootings in Orlando and other victims of terrorism and oppression in the world.
