"Digitze or Die - How to attract young professionals to rural areas?
What are the advantages of digitisation? What impact does digitisation have on the labour market? In concrete terms: How can digitisation stop the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the South Westphalia region? International and national politicians as well as regional economic experts discussed these questions at the Iserlohn Economic Conference "Campus Symposium" at the beginning of September. Among those present were the former President of the EU Commission José Manuel Barroso and Minister of State Dorothee Bär.
Digitalisation can no longer be stopped. But compared to other countries, Germany is lagging behind in terms of digital progress. If Germany took advantage of the opportunities offered by digitisation, it would have many advantages: Above all, the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the regions could be stopped. The Internet makes it possible to exchange information with stakeholders from any location and to work from anywhere.
The German regions are still strong, especially characterized by a high level of small and medium-sized enterprises. The South Westphalia region alone is home to over 150 world market leaders and is one of the three strongest industrial regions in Germany. And "just because we are now a strong industrial nation doesn't mean that we can't even become a successful digital nation," Bär is convinced. But there is still a long way to go.
Digitization makes it possible to work from any location
"I have the impression that we have got stuck in the Prussian authoritarian state," says NRW Digital Minister Pinkwart, deploring the digital development in Germany, "NRW has a thorn in its flesh when it comes to digital start-ups. But that is about to change, the state of NRW wants to develop a digital strategy together with the citizens. In addition to infrastructure, education and health, the focus will be on small and medium-sized businesses. "We have something that other countries do not have. We have an outstanding middle class that no other country in the world can boast of. We have to strengthen them and make them fit," Bär proudly announces. In order to make even better use of the opportunities offered by digitisation for the regions, we need to join forces and build networks. It is no longer necessary to move to the capital cities. Digitisation makes it possible to work from anywhere. "The future will not take place in Berlin or Hamburg", says Bär, "but in Iserlohn".
Networking is the be-all and end-all for young professionals in the digital world
In an interview with the Iserlohner Kreis-Anzeiger, Kim Höhne, founder of the first Coworking Space in Iserlohn, provides concrete ideas on how the shortage of skilled workers in South Westphalia can be remedied. First of all, the needs of the target group had to be addressed, the needs of the young digital professionals. In addition to soft location factors, companies can also contribute a lot: "It's not just about working for a hot brand, but also about the corporate culture that prevails with these brands. What this means is an open work culture where flat hierarchies prevail, where responsibility can be assumed and where networks can be built. "Especially those who want to and can help decisively with the digitization appreciate the flexible working.
One approach to networking young people and creating flexible work opportunities is coworking. "It's about building a community that attracts others who follow these approaches and are at home in the digital world. The Coworking Space in Iserlohn is a first step into a digital and networked South Westphalia.

Q: newsequentialid() creating non-sequential IDs when inserts are 8s apart I'm using SQL Server 15.0.4236.7 and have noticed that GUIDs are consecutive if the row inserts are <8s apart.
Here are some examples:
Inserts were 8s apart:

Inserts were <8s apart:

Why is this?
sql server 2008 newsequentialid() problem does not answer my question.
The answers there fail to mention why the GUIDs are consecutive in some cases, and non-consecutive in other cases. They only talk about how the GUIDs generated are sequential in that the value increases.
I would like to know why the GUIDs are consecutive when the inserts are within 8s of each other.

Front Page Projects SCHOOLISAM.DK
schoolislam.dk: Project on Islam, Muslims and Danish Schools
Kids of Gellerup.
© Paul Galipeau,
These pages show completed projects. Note that the pages and descriptions have not been updated since the project ended.
"Islam, Muslims and Danish Schools" is a multidisciplinary collaborative research involving anthropology, the sociology of religion, and Islamology. It is based in the Faculty of Arts at Aarhus University, involving researchers from the Islamic Cultures and Societies Research Unit in the departments of Culture and Society and of Education.
Nordre Skole, Fyn. © christian svanes kolding, 2005
The objective of the project is to investigate the encounter between Muslim children, their families, and the Danish folkeskole (public schools). Existing research and informal observation suggest that this encounter is more complex and far-reaching than is often realized. The project seeks to investigate the encounter and explore how it affects public schooling in Denmark, Danish educational content, the conduct of Muslim minorities in Denmark, interpretations of Islam and the construction of diaspora Islam in Denmark.

Aims and methodology
The project is funded by the Forskingsråd for Kultur og Kommunikation (the Danish Research Council for the Humanities) and Aarhus Universitets Forskningsfond (the Aarhus University Research Foundation).
We also with to thank the Dansk Folkemindesamling (Danish Folklore Archives) for their cooperation.

As you can see i have arguments text1, text2, text3. However in my Service i pass same argument to all of them like:
repository.findByLabelRuContainsOrLabelKzContainsOrLabelEnContainsAllIgnoreCase(searchText, searchText, searchText, paging);

So, how can i create a query which accepts only 1 argument exept Pageable. Thanks)

A: You could try making a helper method which takes the two parameters that you want and then feeds them into the query:
Page<Counterparty> runQuery(searchText, paging){
    return repository.findByLabelRuContainsOrLabelKzContainsOrLabelEnContainsAllIgnoreCase(searchText, searchText, searchText, paging);

Take a Rwandan singer-songwriter , a Peter Tosh enthusiast , mix it up with a Moroccan drummer-percussionist , a Senegalese guitarist-producer , a pianist teacher from Biel and a French-Swiss bassist-producer and you'll get a good original roots reggae , with African accents , and a Swiss precision !
The new Determination album by Ras Ngabo and Iwacu Rock Reggae is a pure treat for the ears of music lovers.
Think it over : It took them 3 years to craft songs and it shows !
So RESPECT ! we do not often see nowadays true original compositions , songs with more than two chords , which last more than 3 minutes ... and that sound !
In 2015 , the band started performing on world-reggae festivals in Switzerland (Monde Des Couleurs , Lakesplash , Plein les Watts) but we did not have much opportunity to see them on stage while they were preparing their album , but now, they are making their comeback with banging tracks !
Oh yes, by the way, Iwacu means "At home, where you feel good" in Kinyarwanda.
So come and relax while tasting their good homemade music !

AT THE recent European Union summit, some changes in internal rules were approved, as proposed by Great Britain. The compromise agreement defines relations between the EU and the UK based on the requirements of British Prime Minister David Cameron. Some of the agreements concern Slovaks in the UK.
In the UK, the referendum to take place June 23 threatens to send the country outside the EU, and thus British Prime Minister David Cameron travelled to Brussels for February 18-19 with a set of drafts for various measures.
Among other steps, the agreement signed enables the UK to restrict paying child benefits to people from other countries of the EU who work in the country but whose children are raised elsewhere, the Sme daily wrote. This measure also involves Slovaks and, according to new rules, they will be paid the amounts they would receive as child benefits in their homeland (usually much lower sums than currently paid in the UK).
This currently goes only for those Slovaks (and other central and eastern European nationals) who arrive in Britain starting now. From 2020 on, the rule will be applied flatly, to all Slovaks working there. The monthly child allowance in Slovakia is €23.52, in the UK it amounts to €82 at present, the TASR newswire wrote. Currently, 2,000 Slovaks receive this benefit, and after the four-year transitory period is over they will lose it.
The proposal still has to be approved by the Council of the European Union and will also be discussed in the European Parliament.

LV= Cup Launched At Kingsholm
12 October 2011 12:09pm
The 2011-12 LV= Cup was launched on Tuesday at Kingsholm Stadium, home of current title holders Gloucester Rugby.
Following a convincing 34-7 win over Newcastle Falcons at Franklin's Gardens on May 20, Gloucester will kick off their new season campaign against Pool 2 opposition Sale Sharks.
Credited for playing a crucial role in the development of elite players, the LV= Cup is now entering its third season and has seen the likes of Charlie Sharples and Courtney Lawes progress through the competition and into the international set-up. Speaking at the 2011-12 season launch, Sharples, who narrowly missed out on Martin Johnson's World Cup squad, spoke of the opportunity the LV= Cup has given him:
"The LV= Cup was a massive highlight for myself and the other Gloucester boys last season as it was the first trophy we'd won for a number of years. For me personally, it resulted in my first winners medal at senior level and I think that the exposure I got through the semi-final and final really helped push my England claims."
Off the field, the LV= Cup has undergone various changes to reflect its position as a tournament that actively encourages the development of young up and coming players looking to compete at the highest level.
Speaking on behalf of LV=, Head of Sponsorship Claire Jeromson said:"LV= is very pleased to extend its commitment to the LV= Cup for a further four years. This tournament offers an excellent platform for young, up and coming players to shine and foster the next generation of talented players. We're proud to continue our involvement in this unique tournament which has established itself as an integral event in the Rugby Union calendar."
Sophie Goldschmidt, the Rugby Football Union's (RFU) Chief Commercial Officer commented:
"The further commitment from LV=, along with the continued involvement of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and Premiership Rugby is another positive development for the Anglo-Welsh competition. The level of rugby and talent on display continues to develop, providing great excitement for fans."
On behalf of the WRU - who are represented by Ospreys, Scarlets, Newport Gwent-Dragons and Cardiff Blues in the competition - Group Sales and Marketing Manager Craig Maxwell said, "We are very much looking forward to the start of the LV=Cup campaign. It is always an exciting part of the season when many rugby players in Wales get the opportunity to mark themselves against their English counterparts in this exciting Anglo-Welsh competition. It's fantastic to have LV= on board in support of the tournament again and we look forward to working with them and all the major stakeholders of the competition."


Whether B2B or B2C, by now all brands have some kind of content strategy in place. But the real issue when setting up strategy, is proper placement of the "brand" in the content. From non-existent to pervasive – where should your brand stand?
In spite of their name similarity, Brand content and content marketing should not be lumped together. However, many brands still get the two mixed up. Thank goodness you've got me to sort it out!
Branded content is a term created by advertisers who realized that their strategies needed to evolve … or they would wither and die. Branded content tends to be campaign-based. This means there's no ongoing editorial product serving an audience. Instead, it usually employs a heavy dose of product placement.
On the other hand, content marketing is about relationships. It's serving the interest of your target audience by providing valuable information while the actual product remains invisible. Basically, you don't talk about yourself, you create content that gets your audience fired-up to do the talking for you.
I don't believe there's a right or a wrong way to do this. It all comes back to your strategy and the objectives you have, but it's a good idea to start with a clear definition of your strategy.
Many campaigns start out as a typical branded content campaign, but end-up being content marketing instead. And that's part of the reason it's so difficult for people to see differences between the two.
The brand Sanofi, won this year's "prix du brand content" in France for their campaign "team de nuit" (night team). The campaign started in standard fashion with a dedicated website that promoted their sleeping product, "Novanuit". They followed this by creating a digital nighttime community attended by managers who worked to teach people how to sleep better. Eventually, a trusting relationship grew between the people in the community. As a result, the brand itself became less prominent. The key takeaway here, is that Brand mention should not be linear. It should pop-up only at the right time and then withdraw once the impression is successfully delivered.
According to marketing expert, Andrew Davis, communicators should forget branded content altogether, and concentrate on creating new content brands instead. And that in an "opt-in world," the future belongs to marketers and PRs who can harness the power of subscribers, and, who value long-term relationships over views, impressions, and likes.
By targeting niches and exploiting content holes, communicators can build content brands that speak to consumers in their own language. This requires meaningful context that sometimes courts controversy, but creates value for everyone involved.


What time it is? Adventure Time! Jazwares decided that we needed a scale in between their 5 inch posable and their 2 inch static figures. I have to agree. Jazwares gives us a slightly articulated figure and a static figure per package plus accessories and stands. Fionna's little feet are so pointy that she needs a clip stand to remain upright. She is packed with the crystal sword "Prince Gumball" gave her. Cake has no articulation and stands up perfectly.
The designs are solid (they also seem durable, unlike the early Jazwares Sonic the Hedgehog figures) and they are painted great. These are must have figures for Adventure Time fans. Is it too early to hope for Prince Gumball, Ice Queen, and Marshall Lee? I found these at Toys R Us a few weeks ago and Entertainment Earth has them by the case here: Adventure Time 3 inch figures Unfortunately, Fionna and Cake are packed one per case.

Q: Is it recommended to std::move a string into containers that is going to be overwritten? I have the following code
std::vector<std::string> lines;
std::string currentLine;

while(std::getline(std::cin, currentLine)) {
  // // option 1
  // lines.push_back(std::move(currentLine));

  // // option 2
  // lines.push_back(currentLine);
}

I see different costs for the two

*

*The first approach will clear currentLine, making the getline need to allocate a new buffer for the string. But it will use the buffer for the vector instead.

*The second approach will make getline be able to reuse the buffer, and require a new buffer allocation for the in-vector string.
In such situations, is there a "better" way? Can the compiler optimize the one or other approach more efficiently? Or are there clever string implementations that make one option way more performant than the other?

A: Given the prevalence of the short string optimization, my immediate guess is that in many cases none of this will make any difference at all -- with SSO, a move ends up copying the contained data anyway (even if the source is an rvalue so it's eligible as the source for a move).
Between the two you've given, I think I'd tend to favor the non-moving version, but I doubt it's going to make a big difference either way. Given that (most of the time) you're going to be re-using the source immediately after the move, I doubt that moving is really going to do a lot of good (even at best). Assuming SSO isn't involved, your choice is being creating a new string in the vector to hold a copy of the string you read, or move from the string you read and (in essence) create a new string to hold the next line in the next iteration. Either way, the expensive part (allocating a buffer to hold the string, copy data into that buffer) is going to be pretty much the same either way.
As far as: "is there a better way" goes, I can think of at least a couple possibilities. The most obvious would be to memory map the file, then walk through that buffer, find the ends of lines, and use emplace_back to create strings in the vector directly from the data in the buffer, with no intermediate strings at all.
That does have the minor disadvantage of memory mapping not being standardized -- if you can't live with that level of non-portability, you can read the whole file into a buffer instead of memory mapping.
The next possibility after that would be to create a class with an interface like a const string's, that just maintains a pointer to the data in the big buffer instead of making a copy of it (e.g., CLang uses something like this). This will typically reduce total allocation, heap fragmentation, etc., but if you (for example) need to modify the strings afterward, it's unlikely to be of much (if any) use.

Mass Effect TV series idea cringes former BioWare screenwriter
One of BioWare's former lead writers has revealed that he doesn't like the idea of a new TV series based on the Mass Effect franchise at all. Over the past week, a new report has emerged indicating that Amazon is currently in the process of developing a TV show that will take place in the world of Mass Effect. And while this idea at first glance is one that has many fans excited, this former BioWare writer believes this project would give away the source material somewhat.
In a lengthy Twitter thread this week, David Gaider, who was a former senior writer at BioWare primarily on the Dragon Age franchise, revealed all of his thoughts on this proposed Mass Effect TV show. Put simply, Gaider said he didn't like the idea at all to the point that it made him "cringe a bit." Going into more detail on why he felt this way, Gaider said that much of the history of Dragon Age and Mass Effect is meant to focus on a character who is informed by the decisions players make over the course of the game. game. "For starters, Mass Effect and Dragon Age have a custom protagonist. That means this TV show will have to choose whether said protagonist will be male or female. Boom, right off the bat you've just alienated a whole bunch of fan base who had hope, "Gaider explained.
I'm relieved that the Mass Effect / Amazon deal is for a potential TV series, not a movie. Even so, the possibility (and likewise for Dragon Age) makes me cringe a little, unlike many fans who seem… excited?
Let me explain. (Thread)
– David Gaider (@davidgaider) 25 November 2021
Gaider also discussed how the Mass Effect video game franchise also relied heavily on its supporting characters for storytelling purposes. If these secondary characters were then cast aside in the TV series, it could cause the main protagonist of the series to be much more of an integral part of the plot than they would have been in video games.
At the end of his thread, Gaider admitted that he thought the best way forward for a Mass Effect TV series would be to not adapt the video game story. "In many ways, it would be wiser not to just adapt the history of the games," he said. If that were the case, the writers could have a lot more flexibility and not face some of the issues that Gaider fears.
What do you think of Gaider's own thoughts on this Mass Effect TV show? Do you agree or disagree with him that such a project could be very difficult to carry out properly? Let me know either in the comments or hit me up on Twitter at @ Mooreman12.

Some settings in the php.ini control how PHP interpretes your scripts. This can lead to unexpected behaviour when moving your application from development to the productive environment. The following measures reduce dependency of your code on php.ini settings.
Do not use the echo shortcut <?=.
I recommend that you include code in a global include file which is run before any $_GET or $_POST parameter or $_COOKIE is read. That code should check if the gpc_magic_quotes option is enabled and run all $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE values through the stripslashes function.
Never rely on this option beeing set. Always access all GET, POST and COOKIE values through the 'superglobal' $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE variables. For convenience declare $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; in your global include file after the gpc_magic_quotes quirk.
As PHP does not have a namespace facility like Java packages, you must be very careful when choosing names for your classes and functions.
Avoid functions outside classes whenever possible and feasible. Classes provide some extra namespace for the methods and variables that live inside them.
If you declare global functions use a prefix. Some examples are dao_factory(), db_getConnection(), text_parseDate() etc.
In PHP there are no database-independent functions for database access apart from ODBC (which nobody uses on Linux). You should not use the PHP database functions directly because this makes it expensive when the database product changes. Your customer may move from MySQL to Oracle one day or you will need an XML database maybe. You never know. Moreover an abstraction layer can ease development as the PHP database functions are not very userfriendly.
VOs are actually a J2EE pattern. It can easily be implemented in PHP. A value object corresponds directly to a C struct. It's a class that contains only member variables and no methods other than convenience methods (usually none). A VO corresponds to a business object. A VO typically corresponds directly to a database table. Naming the VO member variables equal to the database fields is a good idea. Do not forget the ID column.
DAO is actually a J2EE pattern. It can easily be implemented in PHP and helps greatly in separating database access from the rest of your code. The DAOs form a thin layer. The DAO layer can be 'stacked' which helps for instance if you want to add DB caching later when tuning your application. You should have one DAO class for every VO class. Naming conventions are a good practice.
The DAO may define additional methods as required by your application's needs. The should only perform actions that require the database (maybe only for performance reasons) and can not be implemented in a different mannor. Examples: isUsed(), getTop($n), find($criteria).
The DAO should only implement basic select / insert / update operations on one table. It must not contain the business logic. For example the PersonDAO should not contain code to send email to a person. For n-to-n relationships create a separate DAO (and even a VO if the relationships has additional properties) for the relation table.
Write a factory function that returns the proper DAO given the class name of a VO.Caching is a good idea here.
99% of the code for your VOs and DAOs can be generated automatically from your database schema when you use some naming conventions for your tables and columns. Having a generator script ready saves you time when you are likely to change the database schema during development. I successfully used a perl script to generate my VOs and DAOs for a project. Unfortunately I am not allowed to post it here.
Business logic directly reflects the use cases. The business logic deals with VOs, modifies them according to the business requirements and uses DAOs to access the persistence layer. The business logic classes should provide means to retrieve information about errors that occurred.
When a page is called, the page controller is run before any output is made. The controller's job is to transform the HTTP request into business objects, then call the approriate logic and prepare the objects used to display the response.
1. The cmd request parameter is evaluated.
2. Based on the action other request parameters are evaluated.
3. Value Objects (or a form object for more complex tasks) are created from the parameters.
4. The objects are validated and the result is stored in an error array.
5. The business logic is called with the Value Objects.
6. Return status (error codes) from the business logic is evaluated.
7. A redirect to another page is executed if necessary.
8. All data needed to display the page is collected and made available to the page as variables of the controller. Do not use global variables.
Note: it is a good idea to have a utility function that returns a parameter that is sent via GET or POST respectivly and provide a default value if the parameter is missing. The page logic is the only non-HTML include file in the actual page! The page logic file must include all other include files used by the logic (see base.inc.php below). Use the require_once PHP command to include non-HTML files.
The top level page will contain the actual HTML code. You may include HTML parts that you reuse across pages like the navigation etc. The page expects the page logic to prepare all business objects that it needs. It's a good idea to document the business objects needed at the top of the page.
The page accesses properties of those business objects and formats them into HTML.
b) removing all hardcoded strings from your HTML.
So finish the project in one language first. The copy the HTML pages that need translation. Use a naming convention like index_fr.php to designate the French version of the index page. Always use the ISO two letter language codes. Do not invent your own language codes.
While a) seems a lot more easier than c) it may be subject to session timeout. Option b) should only be implemented as an extension to a) or c).
Strings in a database must be localized too!
PHP has problems in some situations when include files are nested and reside in different folders and it is unclear at which directory level the file will be included. One can solve this by using absolute path names or using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] as a starting point. However this makes your code location dependent - it will not run anymore if you move it down your directory structure one level. Of cource we do not like that.
Let's define a global variable called $ROOT in an include file in every directory that contains toplevel pages. The include file (call it root.inc.php) must be included by the page logic before any other include files. Now you can use the $ROOT variable to reference include files with their exact path!
We have toplevel pages in /admin/pages/. The $ROOT variable must therefore be set to $ROOT = '../..';. The page logic included by pages in that folder would reference their include files like require_once("$ROOT/lib/base.inc.php");.
In my suggested folder outline (see below) we don't even need that, since all toplevel pages reside in the webapp root directory anyway. So the webapp root directory is always the current directory.
/ Webapp root directory. Contains the pages that are actually called by the browser.
/lib/common/ Contains libraries and tools reusable for other projects, like your database abstraction classes.
/control/ Contains the page logic.
For larger applications you may want additional sub-directories for the individual parts (e.g. /admin/, /pub/) of your application to make the root directory a little lighter. Each of them would have their own control sub-directory.
Of course you will have additional directories for your images, uploaded files, ... etc.

Q: Matlab's MultiStart runs fine, but GlobalSearch bugs out I'm trying to run a global optimization in Matlab using the global optimization toolbox.  I am using the fmincon local optimizer as an input.  I am able to successfully run the fmincon local optimizer, as well as the MultiStart global optimizer with this problem.  However, when I try to set it up as a GlobalSearch, I get an error message.
Below is the code I am trying to use for the GlobalSearch:
%the functions is f(w) rather than f(x)

%constraints:
A = [1,0,0; 0,1,0; 0,0,1];
b = [.80, .80, .80];
Aeq = [1 1 1];
beq = 1;
lb = .10 * [1 1 1];
ub = .8 * [1 1 1];

w = [weight1, weight2, weight3];
wstart = randn(3,1);

options = optimset('Algorithm','interior-point');

% function handle for the objective function (note that variables
% aa through hh are additional parameters that the solver does not modify):
h = @(w)Difference_in_Returns(w(1),w(2),w(3), aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff, gg, hh);

% problem structure:
problem = createOptimProblem('fmincon','x0',wstart,'objective',h,'Aineq',A,...'
'bineq',b,'Aeq',Aeq,'beq',beq,'options',options,'lb',lb,'ub',ub);

gs = GlobalSearch;
run(gs,problem)

When I try to run this, Matlab bugs out and prints:
Error using  -
Matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\globaloptim\globaloptim\private\
globalsearchnlp.p>i_calcConstrViolation (line 593)

Error in GlobalSearch/run (line 330)
        [x,fval,exitflag,output] = ...
Error in Optimization_Setup (line 62)
run(gs,problem)

I believe the problem is outlined by the lines:
Error using  -
Matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in GlobalSearch/run (line 330)
        [x,fval,exitflag,output] = ...

Any tips are highly appreciated.  Please let me know if you have any questions.


I'm Joia. I'm starting up a new online video interview show called The Thinking Exchange filmed here in NYC in which I bring on thought-leaders from a variety of fields for honest, in-depth conversations that explore not only the content of the guests' ideas and the projects they're promoting, but also the how's and why's behind their approaches.
I'm currently looking to build partnerships with creators who would benefit from having a high-quality, professional, long-form video in which they're interviewed about their work.
-- a professional quality interview video about 50 minutes long that can be used for free online promotions, including on websites, social media etc.
-- plus I'll be launching a dedicated YouTube account for The Thinking Exchange, so each video will potentially reach a growing audience as the accumulating guests bring their own networks.
The Indiegogo campaign is running through the end of February, and I'm planning to film the interviews here in NYC in March.
I would really appreciate any recommendations of people who might be interested in partnering as a guest (maybe even you?) And, of course, if you can help me spread word of the campaign to anyone who might be interested in supporting it, that would be great too!

In this note, a simplified model of the Booster LLRF open loop transfer function is analyzed using MATLAB and Simulink Simulations, and the simulation results are compared to measured data. The MATLAB model simulates the mathematical transfer functions of phase in the s-domain. The gain, delay, and phase shift of the model can be adjusted to best match the measured data. The Simulink model is simulated in the time domain and is designed to simulate hardware components where possible. The response of the Simulink hardware model is shown to agree with the mathematical MATLAB model, giving increased confidence in the models.

A reunion of friends or allies for one last job, catching up with each other after a time apart: not an uncommon theme in fiction, but one proven effective across all media of storytelling. It's proven again here in The Builders, Daniel Polansky's fantasy novella featuring a one-eyed mouse, an injured owl, a stoat, and an opossum (among other intelligent, talking animals). This reunited gang of adventurers is out for revenge against the enemy that split them apart.
The story begins in a bar where the Captain (just the Captain, no other name is needed) awaits the return of his allies. As each of the players are introduced, Polansky reveals small details about each character. After the Captain, we're introduced to perhaps the most over-the-top character: Bonsoir the stoat. Because a talking mouse with an eye-patch named simply the Captain isn't enough. As the narrative indicates, there are many animals like a stoat, but stoats are unique. To say the stoat has a flair for the dramatic is to say the sun gives off light; the sun is unavoidable in life, and Bonsoir is unavoidable in this story. As it should be.
Polansky goes about bringing in the other players (a mole, an owl, a salamander, and more) apace, connecting them to the Captain or to the events that led to the group's separation in a very clever fashion. He also accomplishes a fine balancing act with the characters, doling out in equal measure details from the animals themselves as well as showing us how others view them. Each member of the crew has a specialty, and in many ways, the Captain's gang is an elite forces team.
Polansky's story has the twists and turns of a crime thriller like The Usual Suspects and the casual violence of a Joe Abercrombie novel… with a cast of talking animals. The brilliance lies in the straight-forwardness of the plot, and in the utterly serious nature of the story that the otherwise absurd premise might lead one to view as suspect, under any other circumstances.
There's a philosophical question at the heart of this story, too: Can people change? Are we always going to revert to our baser natures? Can an individual who was once a killer ever escape that violent past and eschew their violent impulses? The Captain is hoping his former team members can't, because that is what is required to see this revenge plan to its end. Polansky brilliantly brings life to that essential question through the characters, as some give in easily to their past behaviors, while others struggle against it.
The Builders is a brilliant revenge tale, striking a perfect equilibrium between over-the-top premise and the plot and characters taking themselves completely seriously—unsurprisingly, there's a thick cord of black humor throughout the tale as well. This story is the perfect length, and if it is any indication of what to expect from Tor.com Publishing, then I've got some more reading to do. This was also my first experience reading Daniel Polansky's fiction and it will not be my last.
The Builders is available now from Tor.com Publishing.


Conspiracies create revolutions, fortunes, policies and shifts in "society's accepted norms." It's how the super wealthy create and maintain their wealth. It's how slavery was ended in America. It's how neighborhoods gentrify. It's how Apple launched its iPhone.
Conspiracy is how we quietly and slowly win whatever game we're playing. It's how we achieve our most lofty goals. We must create a secret plan -either on our own or within our trusted circle of conspirators. We must strategize and create contingencies. We must consider inner and outer risks and rewards. We must identify opportunities and threats. We must conspire for our own success.
Wolves and shepherds conspire. Sheep do not.


My current iPhone wallpaper is a photo of a stencil I found on the sidewalk in Portland. It's a 90 degree yellow triangle with the word #RESIST in white.
I've spent a lot of time in America. I live on the Washington border (most Canadians live near the border). But since the election, my trips have felt different. Seattle might be decidedly blue, but the rest of the state is firmly red. It's not uncommon to see signs of GOP support and, more alarmingly, pro-life. My first trip across the border in 2017 was only a few hours in Seattle between disembarking a cruise ship and boarding a train home.
In June, I spent a week with friends at a resort in Palm Springs. It felt like a vacation bubble away from the rest of the world. Exactly what we all needed.
But this past weekend in Portland, I found something different. I found the resistance.
Online, the news of the world is overwhelming. Most days, I avoid it, and I own up to the privilege which allows me to do so. As Canadians, we have often described our current situation as the younger child torn between a parent and an older sibling. England and the USA are dealing with problem which affect us, but which Canada cannot change.
And because we feel like there's nothing we can do, we don't. I don't see signs advertising safe spaces in my local shop windows. I don't see mocking cartoons on telephone poles. I don't see #RESIST stencilled on the sidewalk as I walk by. I know protests are happening elsewhere because I see them online. But I underestimated the feeling of seeing it in person.
Being in Portland, where visible resistance on every single street, felt like the world reaching out and taking my hand. It's OK to feel like this. We all do. We're doing whatever we can.
The city directly across the border from my own is Blaine, WA. It's a traditional small town, with single story houses and flags on every porch. Last summer, on one of my frequent hikes around the bay, I wrote the word RESIST on the sidewalk until my pink chalk was gone. I felt silly doing it. And then I felt angry. It wasn't nearly enough, but it was something I could do. I wish I had brought more chalk.

COVID-19 Scientific Leaders Share Expertise in New MIT Class – Available to the Public Online

MIT course on the Covid-19 pandemic, available to the public online, brings together top experts to educate students on up-to-date science.
As the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the globe, bringing everyday life to a screeching halt, researchers at MIT and its affiliates ramped down much of their lab work and stopped teaching classes in person, but refused to come to a standstill. Instead, they changed tacks and took action investigating the many unknowns of Covid-19 and the virus that causes it (SARS-CoV-2), organizing pandemic responses, and communicating with the public and each other about what they knew.
One result of this period was the advent of a new course, aimed at providing MIT students with information on the science of the pandemic. The MIT Department of Biology tapped two scientists with experience working on pandemics to spearhead a course, 7.00 (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and the Pandemic), which began on September 1, 2020. Whitehead Institute member and MIT Professor Richard Young, who had been quick to organize Covid-19 related research efforts, and Ragon Institute Associate Director Facundo Batista, a resident expert on immunology and infectious disease, agreed to lead the course.
The class meets virtually on Tuesday mornings, and a public livestream and recordings are available for anyone who wants to watch the lectures. Students who are taking the course for credit also gain access to a weekly session led by Lena Afeyan, a teaching assistant and MIT graduate student in Young's lab at the Whitehead Institute. The session provides relevant background information on the science before the lectures.
Getting students up to speed on what is and is not known about the pandemic is no easy task. The science is complex and, in these early days, full of unknowns. Experts in many fields must pool their knowledge; virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, public health researchers, clinicians, and more are focused on important pieces of the puzzle. Therefore, Young and Batista reached out to the leaders in all of those fields to give lectures in the course. Students will hear from experts that include Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as well as David Baltimore of Caltech; Kizzmekia Corbett of the National Institutes of Health; Britt Glaunsinger of the University of California at Berkeley; Akiko Iwasaki of Yale University; Eric Lander of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard; Michel Nussenzweig of Rockefeller University; Arlene Sharpe of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital; Bruce Walker of the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT, and Harvard; and others at the forefront of Covid-19 efforts. The course faculty agree that the best way to get accurate information to students is to have the experts provide it directly.
Designing the course
For many of the students, Covid-19 may be their first serious encounter with a pandemic, but a number of the lecturers have worked on the AIDS pandemic or other widespread infectious diseases, which they draw on when teaching.
"I like to put the coronavirus in the context of viruses I know better, like flu and HIV and polio virus," says David Baltimore, the Nobel laureate professor of biology and president emeritus at Caltech who was previously the first director of the Whitehead Institute and a professor at MIT. However, the scientists' relevant backgrounds can only help so much. The new coronavirus is a unique and difficult research subject.
"It has no obvious evolutionary relationship to other viruses. It's got a much longer RNA, many more genes, so more complexity of function, more complexity of genetics, and it's received relatively little study up until recently," Baltimore says. "There is a lot more work that needs to be done."
When planning the class, Young wanted to give all of the information needed to understand what is likely the first pandemic to powerfully impact the lives of the undergraduates taking the course. His motives were pedagogical — and practical.
"If we give people knowledge of what's known and not known about the virus, provided by experts whom they trust, they can help us come up with solutions," Young says.
Young and Batista expect that some of their students will soon be conducting their own Covid-19 research. Batista hopes that this experience will encourage students to think even beyond the scope of the current pandemic.
"I think the U.S. and the Western world have underestimated the risk of infectious diseases because the big pandemics have been happening elsewhere. This class is about bringing people together on Covid-19, and more than that, [it is about] creating a consciousness about the threat of future infections," Batista says.
The first lecture was given by Bruce Walker, director of the Ragon Institute. Walker provided an overview of the available information, including how the pandemic appears to have started, how the virus causes disease, and what the prospects are for treatment and vaccines. The level of the science is aimed at MIT undergraduates, but because the livestream audience may have different science backgrounds, Walker made sure to define basic terms and concepts as he went. The lecture was attended by 250 students, with more than 7,000 people watching the livestream.
Registered students can ask questions during a Q&A at the end of each lecture. Walker addressed students' concerns about the U.S. response to the pandemic, the risk of reinfection, mutability of the virus, and challenges with new types of vaccines. With the aim of providing accurate information, his answers were not always reassuring. However, in spite of the many uncertainties that the scientists are grappling with, the course faculty's message for students is an optimistic one.
"People have felt powerless in this pandemic," Afeyan says. "A course like this can help people feel like they have the tools to do something about it. There is a plethora of problems that will stem from the pandemic, so there are lots of ways to get involved regardless of your field."
Researchers have banded together across MIT, Whitehead Institute, Ragon Institute, and around the globe to address the pandemic. For students who want to join the research effort, the content of the lectures is paired with discussions during Afeyan's sessions with researchers earlier in their careers, who can talk to the students about next steps should they choose to pursue one of the fields presented in the course.
As for students and audience members simply looking to understand the public health event that has so strongly impacted their world, the faculty hope that the course will provide them with the answers they need. Scientists are not the only ones dealing with lots of uncertainty these days, and there is value in learning what the experts know as they know it, straight from the source.

Barack Obama - The Surfers' Choice?
Who says surfers aren't political? Check out what Coconut Girl Wireless has to say about the shenanigans in the States.
Of Team Hillary and Barack 'Get Involved' Obama, who would you choose? Which one knows a slash from a cutback? Or a gouge from a slab? Who would you trust to say 'no' to Monica, 'yes' to point break perfection, 'maybe' to buying a longboard when your shortboard days are over and yet still be able to be The World's Policeman?
Thanks to Coconut Girl - spotted at my local break just a couple of months ago (that's how good life is in the far west) - here's an image of Barack Obama in the surf.
Good man. He gets Coconut Girl's vote, and he gets mine.
Requiem for the Fleetwood Funnel?
One of the UK's few remaining top quality waves is under threat. This picture gives a hint - but no more - of the glory that is the Fleetwood Funnel. I first heard about the Funnel this summer, during the three week flat spell that saw grown men taking to skateboards and grown skateboards taking to pavements, rather in manner of the clerk in Pawel Huelle's intriguing novel Castorp (he pioneers an academic theory of pavements only to remain a prophet without honour in his hometown, the surf-haven of Gdansk). Anyway, during said flat spell, from which some of us have yet to recover, the talk turned to the one true gem of UK surf culture: the Fleetwood Funnel. I listened, awestruck, as seasoned funnel-surfers spoke of a reef formed by discarded shopping trolleys which, bombarded by south-westerly swell, lights up to produce A-frame lefts and rights of unparalleled beauty.
A picture exists of the Funnel and it was possibly once seen in a surf shop, somewhere. Despite its near-mythical status, funnel-surfers are not possessive - they welcome all comers to their slice of oceanic paradise in Lancashire. But they are angry. They're angry about a lot of things, from the price of cacti to the unreliability of formica desks, from Gordon Brown's pre-budget statement (where was the humour?) to the environmental, not to mention socio-cultural, impact of having John Prescott at large in Hull again, but most of all they're angry about plans afoot in Fleetwood to decimate the famous Funnel with the creation of a marina.
The marina would ruin the Funnel forever. No Mundaka miracle here: it would gone, lost, destroyed. So help the Funnel surfers now. Just say 'The Fleetwood Funnel is the best wave in the UK and must be saved' if anyone asks. And check out the charts and head to Lancs one day - this wave is a classic.


Thanks everyone for your replies. It would seem to be the obvious and perhaps even ''easy'' choice, to accept and follow Jesus. But, I strayed away from faith a few years back, and felt a sense of indifference. But, now that I'm very much into my faith again, I can't imagine leaving. I can't imagine turning my back on Jesus.
I have a few friends who are atheists, and are indifferent to the Gospel. They know it, they were once theists in some cases, but they reject the idea of Christianity, as a whole concept. They sometimes play with the idea that ''a god'' exists, but not a personal God, and Jesus is ''just another prophet,'' in their eyes. If they live relatively decent lives, being kind to others, etc...can they be saved? Or asking it another way, will all people who willingly reject Jesus, spend eternity in hell?
You could be right. My prayer is to see him as God does. Only God can do these amazing things in us.
Things got a little better this week, but sometimes, God wants us to stand up for ourselves. We see that all through the Bible, and He gave me the strength to do so. I'm happy it's Friday though lol 😍 Really? What do you see in Timothy Keller that you think is off? I'm not entirely sure what Presbyterians ''believe,'' if it's that off the path of non-denominational? I'm non-denominational.
I prayed about my work situation, and just like that...God saves the day, as always. I woke up today, refreshed and feeling renewed in Him. I called the manager who is responsible for much of our group right now, and shared my views, in a kind but firm way. It was a great call, and I'm not letting anyone make me feel small again. Have a great day!

Statement on Catalonia
Published: 16 Sep 2017 14:03
Commenting on the continued dispute between the governments of Spain and Catalonia on proposals for a referendum on Catalonia's constitutional position, Cabinet Secretary for External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said:
"The decision over Catalonia's future direction is a matter for the people who live there, and the Catalan and Spanish Governments are perfectly entitled to take positions for and against independence.
"However, all peoples have the right to self-determination and to choose the form of government best suited to their needs, a principle which is enshrined in the UN Charter.
"The Edinburgh Agreement was an example of how two governments, with diametrically opposed views on whether or not Scotland should become independent, were able to come together to agree a process to allow the people to decide. It is essential that democracy and civil rights are respected in all countries."


Harper has earned her reputation with a nine-year record of 167-128, including three NCAA Tournament appearances and four WNIT berths in that span. Her teams have historically played their best in the postseason, as she holds a collective 22-13 record in conference tournaments, NCAA Tournaments, and WNIT games. In fact, in 18 seasons as a Division I head coach, assistant coach and player, Harper has made 15 postseason appearances with a combined 415-181 (.696) record, 11 NCAA Tournament appearances and four WNIT bids.
Harper became just the third coach in North Carolina State history in 2009 and directed the Wolfpack to three postseason appearances during her four-year stint at the helm, including the 2010 NCAA Tournament. NC State joined Tobacco Road rivals Duke and North Carolina as the only Atlantic Coast Conference teams to score wins over the league's other 11 teams during that span, and earned six top-25 victories in four seasons.
Prior to her stint in Raleigh, Harper led Western Carolina to a 97-65 record and four postseason berths in five seasons, including a 70-31 mark her final three seasons in Cullowhee. The Catamounts captured the first two Southern Conference (SoCon) Tournament titles in school history while seven student-athletes captured all-conference honors during her tenure.
Before her first head coaching job, Harper spent the three seasons as an assistant coach at Chattanooga, helping the Mocs to three consecutive Southern Conference championships, three NCAA appearances and a combined 78-15 record under head coach Wes Moore. She tutored four all-conference guards while at Chattanooga, including the 2004 league player of the year. Prior to her time in Chattanooga, Harper spent two seasons at Auburn, the first as an administrative assistant before being promoted to assistant coach under Joe Ciampi for the 2000-01 campaign. She was part of the Auburn staff that squared off with the Lady Bears in the first round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament in State College, Pa.
The former Kellie Jolly played on three national championship clubs at Tennessee for the legendary Pat Summitt and earned honorable mention all-America honors as a senior in 1999.
As a junior, she guided the Lady Vols to a 39-0 record and national championship, averaging 7.6 points and 3.8 assists for the season and scoring a career-high 20 points in the national title game against Louisiana Tech. She went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc in that contest and was named to the 1998 All-Final Four Team.
Harper, 35, is married to Jon Harper, who has served on her coaching staff at Western Carolina, NC State, and now at Missouri State.

Last week, StreetEasy hosted our first-ever annual industry appreciation event: The Essys. Held at Sony Hall, the night brought together 200 of NYC's top real estate professionals from an array of brokerages and boroughs so we, the team at StreetEasy, could say thank you for the valued partnerships we've had with you this year and to celebrate the work that every agent does to find New Yorkers homes each day. Along with drinks, apps, secret rooms and tarot card readers, the event featured the head-spinningly cool mentalist and magician, Oz Pearlman, as its MC.
As part of the event, a select group of NYC real estate agents were nominated for a 2018 Essy Award – StreetEasy's first awards designed to recognize NYC real estate pros and their partners for their outstanding achievements. There were seven awards this year, including Sales Agent of the Year (re-sales), Rental Agent of the Year, Premier Agent of the Year, Premier Agent Team of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year (sales and rentals), and Community Champion.
To determine each Essy winner, we looked at a collection of StreetEasy data points to rank possible candidates for awards that were then reviewed by the StreetEasy Essys Committee. The Essy Awards were not based on one data point or dollar figure, which was important for us. Being a great agent is more than just the total value of real estate you've rented or sold — it's how well you know the market so you can price it well, how you work with your clients, and how you market a property.
There was one outlier to this approach: the Essy for Community Champion. This award recognized a NYC real estate agent who is involved in their local communities — in any notable way, large or small — to help improve the city they call home.
For this award, we called on the real estate community to nominate their peers and colleagues to help us find an agent deserving of this recognition. We were humbled by the submissions we received, making it incredibly hard to choose a winner. Helping clients find their way home is a full-time job. Learning more about how many agents are going the extra mile to help those who need it the most has been incredibly inspiring, and we'd like to acknowledge and amplify those efforts.

Congratulations again to our 2018 Essys winners. We're already looking forward to next year!

The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) is the nation's leading tissue bank. MTF designed and validated the use of isolators in the production of DBX Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBX) putty. DBX Putty is the combination of demineralized bone and sodium hyaluronate for use during surgical application. Since the DBX putty is introduced into the body, it must be produced and packaged under aseptic conditions and procedures. Aseptic technique refers to efforts to maintain a sterile field during a procedure to prevent infection. In order to maintain the highest aseptic techniques, it was decided to move the DBX Putty process to isolators for their ease of use in cleaning and decontamination. The process whether conducted in a clean room, biological safety cabinet, or an isolator is largely the same with the exception of the decontamination cycle.
In order for this process to be economically feasible, the decontamination cycle had to take less than 2 hours. If the decontamination time exceeded 2 hours, then it would not be cost effective enough to warrant the change from clean room processing to isolation processing. The choice was between vapor phase hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide gas. Both methods are registered with the US-EPA as sterilants, and both have been used in clean room environments and in isolators. The VPHP process produced varying amounts of condensation with potential for poor distribution and penetration abilities into gaps and small openings. Based on these limitations, chlorine dioxide, a true gas at room temperatures, was chosen due to its fast cycle times and evidence of its effectiveness. With the reduced cycle times, MTF's decision to move forward with isolators became feasible. The isolators eliminated the need for using 2.5 ISO 4 clean rooms and provided true aseptic processing. The chlorine dioxide gas generator and isolators worked together to provide a simple and seamless systems integration.
To learn more about the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation's selection, design, and validation of isolators for aseptic processing with chlorine dioxide gas, read Nick Barbu and Robert Zwick's article in Pharmaceutical Engineering here.


The 2017 Great Path Academy Graduation at Manchester Community College Monday evening where fifty seven students participated in the commencement exercises.
Many in the Great Path Academy Class of 2017 will return to campus this fall — almost half of the 57 graduates plan to attend Manchester Community College, where the magnet school is located.
Several of the students took college courses at Manchester Community College, including valedictorian Alyssa Duffey, who received her associate degree, , and salutatorian Cristian Osorio, who earned 26 college credits from the school.
Principal Tory Niles-Outler commended the students at Monday's graduation on working toward closing the achievement gap, and said virtually every student in the class would be continuing their education after graduating.
"Each student stepped up to the plate and assumed the responsibility to bring their dreams of academic achievement to fruition," Niles-Outler said.
Several students received various awards and scholarships from UConn , including Duffey, Osorio, and Karen Aliva.
Osorio said in his speech that he wouldn't have achieved all that he did in high school, including 150 hours of community service at Hartford Hospital, without the help of his peers and friends.
"In my eyes there is nothing wrong with asking for help," Osorio said. "We are all human, and at the end of the day we seek happiness. I get happiness from this class."
Duffey told her class that though many of the students have had to face adult situations, in college she and her class would truly be able to become adults. She gave her fellow classmates advice on finding balance and seeking out help when faced with the new challenges college would bring.
"The path to graduating college is not set, it certainly has many bumps, turns, and dips," Duffey said. "It's just our job to build strength and get through the hard parts, even those moments that make you want to quit."


Looking for Prudenville Bail Bonds? Most Prudenville bail bonds agents can bail you (or another person) out anytime day or night in Prudenville. Bail Bonds Network helps you find and get in touch with a licensed bail bond agent in Prudenville, Michigan. At your request, many bail bonds companies will come pick you up privately. Payment plans are often available depending on the situation.
Upon arrest anywhere in Roscommon county, a person must be processed at the Roscommon county jail. In order to be released from jail, a few steps must occur, including being booked and posting bail. Once the bail amount is confirmed, a bail bonds agent is sent to post the bond at the local jail. At this time the jail release process begins and typically takes anywhere from one to two hours to be completed. While cash bonds are acceptable, it is normally not frequently done due to financial limitations.

Militant Video Shows Killing of Second US Reporter
Militant group Islamic State releases video it says shows the execution of US reporter Steven Sotloff.
In the News 09-02-14
Militants of the Islamic State group released a video Tuesday claiming to show the execution of a second American reporter.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said officials are investigating whether the content of the video is real. If it is, Ms. Psaki said, "we are sickened."
In the video, reporter Steven Sotloff appears in an orange jumpsuit near a man in black with his face hidden. Mr. Sotloff was on his knees in a desert area similar to that shown in the recent video of the execution of U.S. reporter Jim Foley.
The militant in this latest video made a threat against a British hostage he called David Haines. The militant warned governments to back off "this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State."
It was unclear when the video was shot.
Mr. Sotloff was kidnapped in Syria in August 2013. He was working for Time and Foreign Policy magazines at the time.
A spokesman for President Barack Obama's administration said he could not confirm the execution. But he said "our thoughts and prayers" are with Mr. Sotloff's family.
Pakistani Parliament Support PM Sharif
Pakistan's parliament opened an emergency meeting Tuesday. It expressed political support for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Thousands of protesters opposed to his rule gathered outside the building at the same time.
The protesters have repeatedly demanded the prime minister's resignation and a new election. They say Mr. Sharif's party won the election by cheating.
Three weeks of anti-government protest in Islamabad have led to fears of a military overthrow in the country.
Did US Drone Strike Kill al-Shabab Leader?
Officials are trying to learn whether a U.S. drone attack in Somalia killed Ahmed Abdi Godane, the leader of militant group al-Shabab.
Somali officials said Monday's attack targeted top al-Shabab leaders meeting in southern Somalia. Witnesses said the drone targeted three vehicles traveling on a road. They say several missiles hit two of the vehicles but the third may have escaped.
Ahmed Abdi Godane is 37 years old. The U.S. State Department has named him one of the most wanted terrorists in the world.
NATO to Meet on Russia and Middle East
The leaders of the 28 NATO member countries will gather for the first time in two years starting Thursday in the Welsh city of Cardiff.
Delegates are to talk about the possible establishment of a force that could deploy quickly in reaction to threats in eastern Europe. That discussion may center on the conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists.
NATO leaders will also discuss the threat from the Islamic State militant group that has captured large parts of Iraq and Syria. The U.S. has carried out air strikes targeting the group. And the U.S. and other NATO members have been providing humanitarian aid.

Beginning today, java-giant the Starbucks Corporation has eliminated trans fats from all baked goods in half of its stores nationwide. The announcement follows on the heels of last month's New York City Board of Health ruling to ban trans fat in restaurant food—a bid which placed New York on the map as the first large city in the U.S. to impose such a rule. The decisions come amid growing industry-wide pressure from health agencies, advocacy and consumer groups to address the surge of rising obesity and cholesterol in the United States with stricter guidelines governing its use.
Trans fats, or trans fatty acids, are a type of unsaturated fat known to increase the risk of coronary heart disease and other serious health conditions. While they occur naturally in small quantities in meat and dairy products, the majority of trans fats consumed are created as a by-product of partially hydrogenating unsaturated plant fats for use in many processed foods. Because of the serious health concerns associated with their use, trans fats are strictly regulated in several countries and are the center of several lawsuits against fast food chains in the United States.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—the U.S. agency responsible for regulating the labeling of most food products— requires the disclosure of trans fat content on the nutrition facts panel of many foods and some dietary supplements. To help consumers make healthy choices when shopping for groceries and dining out, the FDA ensures that nutrition information is accurately and truthfully represented as reflected by test results of nutrient content and fat composition analysis.
International standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) can help to determine trans fatty acids content. ISO 661:2003, Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Preparation of test sample, describes procedures for preparing test samples of animal or vegetable fats and oils for the purpose of analysis. ISO 15304:2002, Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of the content of trans fatty acid isomers of vegetable fats and oils - Gas chromatographic method, specifies a method for analyzing the amount of trans fatty acid isomers in vegetable oils and fats. Using a single capillary gas chromatographic procedure, the method evaluates the level of trans isomers formed during high temperature refining or the hydrogenation of vegetable oils or fats. The standard can also be used to obtain and report the full fatty acid composition and total amounts of saturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acids and poly-unsaturated fatty acids from the same sample.
Both standards were developed within ISO Technical Committee 34, food products, and its subcommittee on animal and vegetable fats and oils.


I drove by a yard once where the gardener was opening up a brand new soaker hose and getting themselves all tangled up in it. Looked like a one-person game of Twister. The coils had them in it's grip and they couldn't lay the thing down without snagging a leg or arm or both.
I pulled over and offered to help them with a little advice about soaker hoses. If you look at a new soaker hose, you can see that it was tightly rolled up at the factory into a coil. So the easiest way to install it is to anchor one end with a brick or something and then unroll it onto the ground down the driveway or across the yard. Once it's unwound and laying down it looses some of its springiness and relaxes enough to be installed where you want it without it grabbing your leg like a boa constrictor.
In the pic below, you can see my right hand man Howard Dunegan unrolling a coil of new soaker hose along a trellis planted with Carolina jessamine (most people pronounce that as "jasmine", but you know we southerners have to add a few syllables).
The picture doesn't show it, but he is also looping the soaker hose once around each plant as he goes. Then the soaker hose and root zone are covered with 2"-3" layer of organic mulch; shredded leaves or shredded bark, etc. Don't put soaker hoses under the soil--the pores will plug up and render it useless.
Here are a few other tips for having success and saving time, water and aggravation with soaker hoses.
1) Put a timer on the spigot--they usually cost about $14. On your way out to work, open up the spigot all the way and set the timer to an hour or two. It'll cut off on its own. You may still worry that you left the oven on (I can't help you there), but at least you can be assured that the irrigation water will turn off. And then monitor conditions; if the soil gets soggy, dial back the time, if plants are wilting in the morning, dial the time up. Freezing weather will cause timers to crack, so bring the them in for the winter. And since they're plastic they might only last 2-3 years, but until someone makes them of metal it's the best way to save money on watering and not have to stand around waiting to turn the spigot off.
2) Some of the soaker hoses come with a blue plastic disc with a tiny hole in it, instead of regular gasket. I throw the blue thing away and put in a regular gasket (they come in sets at a good garden center and every liberated gardener ought to keep a set handy--if you have hoses that leak, it's often an old gasket no longer doing it's job and needing to be replaced.
3) As you're laying the hose down, use metal landscape staples to pin them in place if they want to wiggle around. The staples should be for sale near the landscape fabric. I hook a bunch of them through a belt loop on my pants at my side. That way they're handy and don't poke me if I bend over or squat down. If the soil is very loose, they hold better if they're pinned into the potting soil.
4) To water perennials I just run the soaker hose next to the plant--over or just touching the potting soil. Water from a soaker hose is going to go straight down into the ground--it doesn't spread to the sides much at all, so you've got to get close. And since shrubs and trees need much more water, I loop the hose around them once and make sure it is placed over the root ball.
5) I try to avoid running the soaker hose uphill. I normally run the garden hose to the high part of the bed and start the soaker hose there. Since the soaker hose is leaking water as it goes, if it's running uphill too, more of the water will come out at the bottom end of the hose. If, on the other hand, the soaker hose is running downhill, then you will get more even water distribution.
6) If the house has good water pressure, I've run as many as 6 soaker hoses in a row (or connected with one or more 'Y"s, with no loss of water pressure. If the household water pipes are old and corroded though, you might be better just running one or two hoses end to end.
7) After about a year, a soaker hose's pores can get clogged, so they still deliver water just not as much. But if you've chosen plants well, you won't need to provide irrigation after that first year as the plants will be established and on their own.
