Q: Is it possible to add UI to a node.js application? or is there any UI library for node.js I am using 'bleno' (https://github.com/sandeepmistry/bleno, node.js module for implementing Bluetooth low energy peripherals) on my raspberry pi. It works great on terminal but I am looking to make a GUI/Desktop application. I have searched for hours but couldn't find it. there are couple of related threads on SO but none seems to answer this.

A: I am also looking into this - I know this question is old but it's very valid.
Currently I have found:

*

*Node-QT

*PiGUI (Is just a PoC)

But both are over 3 years old. You may have more luck on the Raspberry Pi stack exchange
UPDATE
So what I eventually went with in my own application is NodeJS and Socket.IO - and connected an HTML page to the web socket. This gives me the power of HTML5 for my UI. I feel this is the best solution.

The Buffalo Bills received the news every NFL team fears during the preseason: an injury to the starting quarterback.
According to Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News, AJ McCarron suffered a hairline fracture of the collarbone during Friday's 19-17 preseason victory over the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. Carucci noted the injury occurred during the first quarter and before McCarron gave way to Josh Allen.
The Bills signed McCarron this offseason after they traded last year's starter, Tyrod Taylor, to the Browns with the hopes of shoring up the quarterback position. During the majority of his first four seasons in the NFL, McCarron sat behind Andy Dalton on the Cincinnati Bengals after a successful collegiate career at Alabama, but he appeared in seven contests in 2015.
McCarron threw for 854 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions in that campaign and appeared to be set to challenge for his first extensive role as a starter given he started Friday's contest ahead of Allen.
Buffalo can turn toward either Allen or Nathan Peterman while McCarron is sidelined.
Peterman was a rookie last season, and in his first game as a starter, he threw five interceptions in a November loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Meanwhile, Allen was the No. 7 overall pick in April's draft. Accuracy questions have surrounded him, considering he completed just 56.2 percent of his passes at Wyoming, but a strong arm enticed the Bills to draft him as highly as they did.
Allen flashed his potential Friday, going 9-of-13 for 60 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, and he figures to see a more significant role after McCarron's setback.

Kent Bush: Clinton's nomination a watershed moment in U.S. history
Kent Bush More Content Now
The year was 1992.
I was 21 years old and a political science and economics major at Oklahoma State University. A former teacher who played a big role in my academic success in high school had just asked me to manage her State Senate campaign.
That same year, Hillary Clinton was headed to the White House. Clinton was following a path dozens of other women had traveled as first lady. Now she is blazing her own trail as the candidate for one of America's two major political parties in hopes of returning to the White House.
It has been 24 years and a lot of things have changed. That summer's campaign gave me no reason to believe that a woman would have a chance to be elected President in America — at least not only 24 years later.
Working on behalf of a female candidate in 1992 was no small chore. She was a demonstrably superior candidate to the five men in the contest. To say it was an uphill fight is an understatement.
From the older women who didn't think it was her place to run for a spot in the State Senate to the men who didn't think a woman should be elected, there was a lot of resistance that had nothing to do with her education, work ethic or leadership skills.
But no woman has ever represented Senate District 23. Not before 1992 and not since.
I will never forget the anger that rose inside me on a hot evening in Tuttle, Oklahoma, when we were knocking on doors and trying to win votes. I stood on a porch in the southern part of the city and a man in his late 50s or early 60s opened the door. I would have a better guess at his age now, but I was 21 — everyone over 30 looked old.
I told the man what I was doing and how excited we were to be talking to people about the woman I was working for. His answer made me recoil.
"Why should I vote for a power hungry (word that rhymes with ditch but isn't appropriate for a family friendly publication)?" he asked with a huff.
My first reaction was to get angry, but I had knocked on his door and interrupted his evening so I tried to keep my cool.
"Well, sir, I don't think she is power hungry or a (deleted again)," I said. "In fact, she is running because she cares about people and wants to help."
"Well, she should have saved her time and left politics to the men," he said, shutting the door in my face. We have come a long way in the past 24 years. Now that guy would just not answer his door and say that stuff on Facebook or Twitter.
Everyone didn't have mobile phones in 1992. I walked back to my Pontiac Sunbird and tried to process what had just happened. When the campaign began, I braced myself for people who would support another candidate, but somehow my idealism was still alive at that point — don't worry, 22 years in the newspaper business has done a number on it.
I was entirely unprepared for that kind of venom in a local race.
Lesson learned.
Why do you think Sarah Palin could never get enough support to be a candidate herself? Do you remember how Hillary Clinton was treated as recently as 2008 when she shed a tear on the campaign trail? What about just this week? How many of the criticisms of her style are merely sexist dog whistles delivered in politically more appealing packages?
You don't have to love Clinton. Some do. Some don't. Some watch Wheel of Fortune and would have to buy a vowel to solve a puzzle with her name in it.
But Thursday's formal acceptance of the presidential nomination from one of the two major parties in America was a watershed moment.
Women have legally been eligible for the Presidency. It has been possible.
But after Thursday night, every woman and girl in America can see that goal as truly achievable.
The glass ceiling is gone.
We have about 100 days until we find out if she will be the first female leader of the free world.
Regardless, Thursday night was historic and important.
Hopefully people from both sides of the political spectrum can appreciate that.

Seven hundred smallholder farmers in the famed Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia produced this coffee and sold their individual lots to a cooperative mill called the Gelana Abaya Coffee Station. The coffee cherries were stripped of their skins and fermented for two days before being washed and dried by the sun. I bought this coffee from one of my brokers, Royal Coffee in Oakland. It is a striking cup with pristine aromatics. In fact, nowhere else in the world are coffees produced that have such strong floral fragrances, and this one keeps giving with a distinct coriander note that balances the cup and makes it unique.

What is the Electric Flow path to Self Service Catalogs?
We had defined some Self Service Catalogs on our development server. We would like to export these and move them over to our production server.
However, I cannot find where they are. We use ectool commands "export" and "generateDsl" to find procedures, properties, pipelines, and can move them over to another server. But, are Self Service Catalogs stored in a project? What is the path to find them?
Same question for Dashboards -- is there a path to these, any way for us to migrate them to another server?
Does emake support the GMake export directive?
How do I export applications/components/pipelines?
How can I export ElectricFlow project data as source code?

CHILE DOES NOT HONOR BOLIVIA FREE TRANSIT, failing the treaty they themselves impossed by force!
• Justice Minister Héctor Arce asked Chile to understand that the Customs' strike could generate a humanitarian disaster at the border.
In the face of the damage to Bolivian exports via Arica and Antofagasta, by the blockade of customs officials against the country's transporters, the Agent before the International Court of Justice, The Hague, and former president (2005) Eduardo Rodríguez Veltzé, lamented the ill-treatment of the neighboring country and said that the Government of Chile does not honor the free transit, provided in article six of the Treaty of 1904.
"Chile does not honor the obligation to guarantee free transit to Bolivia," Rodriguez said, through his tweeter account.
Then published a video showing a huge line of vehicles stopped at the border crossing between Tambo Quemado and Chungará. "Images for the incredulous," he quoted.
The diplomatic authority added to the denunciations of the Bolivian transporters and of the national Government, on the damages caused by the customs' strike of the neighboring country and that to date is not solved by its authorities.
Bolivia had to sign the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1904 against its will, after the invasion of the Chilean army to Bolivian ground. This ended the War of the Pacific.
In previous hours, Chilean Foreign Minister Heraldo Muñoz referred to a similar video broadcast by President Evo Morales through his tweeter account, which shows an endless line of trucks waiting to cross the Chilean border, due to the Customs' strike, a solution that is in the hands [responsibility] of the Chilean government.
Muñoz said that video has no credibility and questioned the number of vehicles stopped on the road.
"The Bolivian government has no credibility, it turns out that officially they said that there were 18 thousand trucks, but the minister of the Presidency has said that there are about 140 to 180, which is normal at the border," asserted the Minister of Foreign Affairs From Chile.
For his part, the Minister of Justice, Héctor Arce, asked the Chilean government not to generate a humanitarian disaster on the border.
"The #Chile government should understand that the customs' strike and the inclemency of the climate could generate a humanitarian disaster on the border," he published through his tweeter account.
The workers of the Chilean Customs are exerting an indefinite strike until yesterday [05/31/2017] for six days, causing immense damage to the Bolivian transporters and the exports.

Schedule A Free Consultation 619-567-4462
Unwavering Commitment To Helping Injured Workers
Social Security may provide benefits for multiple sclerosis
On Behalf of The Law Offices of Cory A. DeLellis | Nov 15, 2021 | SSD Benefits
A person with multiple sclerosis may be afflicted with symptoms that range in severity and eventually make it impossible to perform their job duties. Although employers may offer short- and long-term disability benefits, a worker may need to consider applying for Social Security Disability Insurance.
MS is a chronic condition which impacts the central nervous system. The immune system attacking a healthy body part causes MS.
MS can cause numerous symptoms. These include numbness, fatigue, paralysis, and blindness. Some workers with MS may qualify for benefits while others may not.
SSDI usually provides long-term disability. To qualify, applicants have to undergo the Social Security Administration's eligibility process. Applicants must also meet the SSA's definition of a qualifying impairment which is anticipated to or already exceeded 12 months.
The SSA defines MS and other qualifying impairments in its listing of impairment document. According to this listing, a person with MS may qualify for SSDI if they meet one of two conditions.
First, they have extreme motor impairment in two of their extremities which limits their ability to stand, balance or use their arms. Or the person has a definite limitation in physical functioning with at least one of the following conditions:
Trouble with interacting with others.
Difficulty with remembering, understanding, or applying information.
Difficulty with managing themselves.
Concentration issues.
Other SSDI qualifying conditions may include:
Difficulty with sight.
Walking difficulty.
Impairments with speech, swallowing or breathing.
Extreme fatigue limiting the ability to think or engage in physical tasks for long periods.
Persistent and severe pain.
MS has a listing under number 11.109. But, according to the National MS Society, the listing of 2.00 special senses and speech may apply if MS causes visual impairments or speech issues. The listing of 12.00 mental disorders may be used if MS causes cognitive disorders or mood swings.
Before applying, an applicant should consult with their doctor about the process. Applicants must have contact and demographic information about their doctor, test dates and results and a list of their medications, their use and who prescribed them.
The SSA will also seek information and proof about the applicant's medical condition, test results, employment history, direct deposit information, education and job training and their date of birth, children, spouse, and military service. Returning to work during the application process will disqualify applicants from SSI benefits.
SSA will consider an applicant eligible if they have an impairment that last or could last up to 12 months. Applicants must also have a physical or mental impairment restricting their ability to work. These can include vision issues, fatigue, walking trouble or other severe MS symptoms.
A SSA office will review this information. Their decision on approval or denial will be mailed to the applicant.
According to SSA data, 22 percent of first-time applicants are denied benefits. Reasons for denial include the impairment being insufficiently severe, that the applicant may continue working at their current job or another profession, the impairment is not expected to last 12 months and the applicant provided insufficient medical records, did not follow treatment plans, has impairment from drug or alcohol use or returned to substantial work before the eligibility decision was made.
Applicants have 60 days to appeal a denial. The SSA has four appeal levels:
Reconsideration.
A hearing before an administrative law judge.
Appeals Council review.
Proceeding before a federal court.
Applicants may unknowingly lose important rights during this complicated process. Attorneys can help them complete their applications and appeal denials.
How does backpay work in Social Security disability claims?
How do you gather evidence of your anxiety disability?
Should I appeal my denial or file a new claim?
The stages of appeal when an SSD claim is denied
Can I receive SSD for depression?

AAA is urging North Dakota lawmakers to exercise caution as they consider raising speed limits on certain highways.
As introduced, HB 1264 would increase the speed limit on interstate highways to 80 mph and on multi-lane divided highways to 75 mph. Current requirements are 75 mph and 70 mph, respectively.

A: Important Apache webserver information
Try to run AjaxThread.php through command line and see if it works with (exit() in ForkHandler.php). Because you do an ajax request I suppose you run this through an apache webserver. In this case the exit() does not work, you should use instead:
posix_kill(getmypid(), SIGKILL);

A: Check if this helps

A: Change this line:
for($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) {

to
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {

God Parts the Sea for Livingstone Academy
August 27, 2015 | Joel Reyes
The Livingstone Academy building committee has been working hard drawing plans and carefully looking at all the logistic challenges of building a new school.
Livingstone Academy had to resorted to the only source of strength: prayer. Everybody prayed.
Sometimes it's hard to believe. You know how it goes. We all believe God can do anything. "Nothing is impossible to God," we say, yet deep inside we filter our own belief influenced by our personal experience.
A story in the book of Mark comes to mind, in which a father brings his epileptic boy to Jesus. This man loves his boy, and there is nothing he would not do to see his boy laughing and running around like any other normal boy. He has tried everything, but nothing has worked. Even the disciples had failed to drive the evil forces from this boy's life. The father had finally come to the terminal conclusion that there was nothing anybody could do for his beloved child. Oh what a fatal condition to be in! In chapter 9, verse 21, the father says to Jesus, "… if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."
"If you can?" Sometimes the struggles of life are so debilitating that faith fades away and reasonable skepticism takes over. For the last few years, Livingstone Adventist Academy (LAA) in Salem has struggled under the weight of a growing debt. It came to the point where drastic changes had to be made. This past school year, the staff operated under a new project of financial responsibility, including paying the debt that had accumulated.
This could not be done without deep and painful cuts to all programs. Like many schools around this union, LAA has a very aged campus, and major repairs are needed. As rain began to fall, soon after school started, the staff realized their challenges were larger than imagined. They needed a new roof for the gym, then the roof in the cafeteria followed. One day the staff had six large trash cans strategically placed in various locations around the cafeteria, and each can was collecting large amounts of rain. Then in November a windstorm tore a section of the roof in the library. Then the staff discovered that two of the large water heaters serving the gym and cafeteria had critical cracks and could blow up at any moment.
The staff knew there was no money allocated in the budget for any of these repairs. The repairs were not optional however, if they wanted to continue operating a school. The staff began to get estimates for all the imperative repairs. The projected cost was astronomical, nothing close to what school resources could provide.
The principal sat in the solitude of his office late in the evening after students and staff had gone home. "This is too much," he thought. "It cannot be done." The staff resorted to the only source of strength: prayer. They prayed as a staff. They prayed as a board. They prayed as a community of churches. The students prayed. Everybody prayed.
Then the sea opened.
In early April, the school had begun drawing projections for the following school year, mostly by faith because the reality wasn't too bright. But collective faith can be an extremely powerful tool in the hand of the weak. It was then that the Lord sent the help they had been praying for. Often we pray for solutions to our immediate needs. We pray for drops of blessings, unaware of the flood the Lord is willing to unleash if we will only believe. As the staff were collectively praying and grappling with the reality of their facility, they were not aware that the Lord had already sent a savior for their school. But the Lord's plans for Livingstone Adventist Academy went even farther than the most faithful had been able to envision. Not only was the entire debt (which was not small by any measure) completely paid off, but a plan is now in full swing to replace the old, rotting structure. No more does the school family need to worry about crumbling structures and leaky roofs.
This was a summer at LAA, but the staff could not be happier. The building committee has been working hard drawing plans and carefully looking at all the logistic challenges of building a new school. Livingstone Adventist Academy staff have seen the Red Sea open before their very eyes. They can yell from the mountaintop, "We believe! Yes, Lord, we know You can."

Energize your spirit with this deliciously bold cup of morning tea.
Created in a style historically preferred by the Irish, our blend features the full body and malty richness of Assam black tea from India.
Assertive and hearty with a robust character, this invigorating tea is destined to motivate.


Allah withholds a portion of what is desired to keep you needy, to keep you at His door.
To keep an empty place in your heart.
The slave keeps begging for what is desired, not knowing that His Lord is preparing for him what is greater.
And then when Allah gives, there are different types of currencies.
And they are not equal.
Some people are paid their recompense in Dunya currency.
And this is from among the favors of Allah.
But there are others who are paid in a different currency: the currency of Divine nearness.
Remember about 'that somewhere' (I mentioned it in an earlier post).
So let's address 'that somewhere' as P.
So today I got an interview phone call from P.
It was a last minute ordeal.
Shooting me an e mail 4 hours before they actually called.
Believe me, there's a lot of information to digest about P and what they're doing.
That's the reason why I'm dying to join them; the things that they do, the changes that they bring along.
The interviewer were two Malay women in charged of Internship Recruitment.
It's in English, of course.
I had this one characteristics whereby I'll be bubbly and all excited if it's a phone interview.
From the conversation, it is safe to say that it turned out fine.
But, but. Knowing Uniten, it will be a bit tough because they are really strict about the internship placement. Hampir tak lepas okay, ke Accenture.
Since Accenture offered me a place in the IT/System department.
Reading the job description, interning at P wouldn't have anything to do with accounting, auditing or even taxation. Hmm.. It will be tough convincing the Committee.
I have another option, of course. Spending only 2-3 months in P before the 'actual' internship commencing in October.
Even if I do that, another problem will arise.
Those 2-3 months were supposed to be spend at 'O'.
Either way, it will be difficult to intern at PwC because they ONLY accept the intern at certain dates. And my offer letter stated that I'm going to start on 2nd September.
Unless, unless I contact them to change the date to 21st October instead!
I just thought of that!!
Lagipun I haven't signed anything yet.
That is, assuming they will entertain my request.
Macam confirm nak ke PwC.
Whereby today I feel confident that I wanted to do Tax in PwC.
Then, the next day I would be propelled to intern at Accenture.
But most probably, I won't be working in Accenture HQ.
Instead, I'll be going to Menara TM, Bangsar since I've been assigned to TM if I went to Accenture.
Do I really want to do Tax?
PwC gave me until 9th June to reply with the answer.
Meanwhile would appreciate it if P and O gave me the final verdict before that.
And kalau P and O is a go?? Gonna go crazy choosing one of them.
Short backpacking trip to Amsterdam. Alone!
I went there by IC train, super comfy, super fast (300km/h). It took around 5 hours from Mainz but honestly, you wouldn't feel the distance because the scenery was superb! Tips - Plan your trip in advance and book the ticket earlier on for super savings!
So I was staying at the Stayokay Hostel near Vondelpark. The hostel was vibrant, super clean and best of all it's cheap! Very worthy! Believe it or not, I had the best sleep in months.
The perks of staying in a hostel is that, you'll get to know a lot of new people. Well, at least, the other 5 person in your room. We had a nice chat and ended up touring Amsterdam together. Fun!!
Stroop waffles. *heavenly* Thanks Mya for the tips!
Weed everywhere. Everywhere. It's legal. Here, at least.
No visit to Amsterdam would be complete without experiencing the Red Light District.
Bicycles are everywhere! This is the bike 'parking' spots near Amsterdam Centraal. You can find bicycles coming from all direction in the city. Super hectic!
Another 'must-do' in Amsterdam, the canal cruise. It was a 75 minute ride around the city, with breathtaking scenery.
One of the 88 canals in Amsterdam.
Giant chess board. Sat here, admiring their skills.
The demonstration. Funny, fun, packed with info.
The weather was to die for!
Fresh seafood at the fisherman village.
Took a cruise to an island. Freaking nice!!
Did I regret travelling alone?
It's nice and everything but packed with tourist.
Most of the attractions in Amsterdam are within walking distance. Well, 'walking distance' definition for me has changed a lot since I'm in Germany. Rasanya kalau dari Harmoni ke Wisma tu, standard lah walking distance. :D For those yang kurang gemar berjalan, buy yourself a day ticket which will entitle you for a free 24 hours ride with the trams, trains or the buses. It cost only 7.50 Euro.
Or better yet, buy the 'iamsterdam' card. More info, click here.
I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was so soaked with the beauty.
People should learn taking pictures with their heart, don't ya think?
Makanan halal kat sini, tak ada masalah.
I had a lot of fun, kalau ada rezeki mahu ke mari lagi.
Berlin trip was cancelled at the very last minute.
Never mind, I'm not easily deterred.
Pray for my safety ya!
And I'm washing the dishes.
But that's not what I wanna share.
While I was doing the dishes, happily humming to the tunes of Westlife's 'If I Let You Go', somehow along the lines, it got me thinking to the fate of my internship.
I can't make the decision yet.
Suddenly, and I kid you not.
I feel something in my heart.
It's like something in me telling me what I really want and should do.
I was shocked at first, literally.
But soon after, my insides felt warm and fuzzy.
At the moment, that 'something different' is Accenture.
Unless, other opportunities comes knocking.
Accenture is a great company.
Plus, it's real close to home.
It's a no brainer, looking from a 3rd person POV.
Sesiapa yang Allah keluarkan dari kegelapan kepada cahaya, akan mendapati betapa terangnya kebenaran tersebut. Kerana cahaya tersebut akan menyingkap untuknya hakikat kebenaran, sehingga ia dapat mengetahui bahawa yang hak itulah yang hak dan yang batil itulah yang batil.Asy-Syaikh 'Abdullah al-'Ubailan (Ulama Hadis 'Arab Saudi).
Harus lah istikharah untuk mendapat petunjuk.
I've been dying to skydive. Ini tak tipu.
Found a few places in Germany.
Mahal tu! But yes. It is once in a lifetime chance.
Now, I have to make a decision between skydiving or travelling.
200 Euro can bring me to a lot of places, ya know?
InsyaAllah kalau ada rezeki, will squeeze in skydiving.
Or at the very least, bungee jumping.
Well, that being said; I'm going for a backpacking trip to Amsterdam and Berlin this Sunday.
Travelling alone in foreign country.
Makanya, di sini dua tempat termakbul.
So far, Munich and the castle seem a bit impossible.
Haih.. Back to back assignment, exam and presentation.
Mana nak kejar lagi pergi holiday.
The week after, will be going to Rome.
Now, that I've chosen travelling over skydiving where else should I go?
Let's resume with the Microsoft Project mega assignment for now, shall we?
I bought a Cabin Zero cabin bag.
Since I'm going to travel with RyanAir (low cost airline) soon, this is must-have item. This airline is VERY strict with the hand-carry allowance.
Yeah, the ticket is VERY cheap if you plan in advance but the downside is, they charge ridiculously high for the checked-in baggage.
According to their rules, every passenger is only allowed ONE bag, (55x40x20cm) weighting not more than 10 kilos. Okay.
The weight limit is nice. Air Asia only permits 7 kilos.
No handbag or anything else allowed.
Cuma diri anda dan sebuah beg.
The size of the bag is very important. If you fail to comply, you'll need to pay the luggage fees or you will be denied flying rights. And it's not cheap, I tell ya.
There are not many bags out here that comply with these strict rules.
It's custom made to suit the strict requirement of the airlines. (55x40x20cm) No need to worry again !
It is massive with 44L capacity. Enough for a holiday getaway. Pack away, pack away!
It is very light (750grams). Which means even more space to put in all your belongings unlike travel bags with wheels.
It comes with 10-year warranty. BUT, here's the awesome part! It can be extended to 25 years! Just go to their FB page and click 'Like'. It's that easy! Really!
The material is of high quality. Put your hands on one and you'll understand why the company offered such warranty scheme. It is made of polyester and the lining is 100% nylon.
It comes with a Global Luggage Tracker so that you can track it anywhere, anytime. Super duper cool!! It's a service by Okoban. On your Cabin Zero bags, you can find a tag with a series of number. Just register the numbers online, and your bag is in the database. In any case of missing bags, log on to the website and track away! It's all free, too!
A review on MICPA - The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountant.
Yet another route to qualify as a chartered accountant.
This is a collaboration program between MICPA and ICAA (Institute of Chartered Accountant Australia). Upon completion, you'll get dual membership - CPA Malaysia and CA Australia. Cool eh? One exam, two qualifications.
There is two level to be completed; Professional and Advanced. Basically students with accredited Accounting Degree will go straight to the Advanced level.
For the sake of discussion, these are the list of modules in the Professional level.
Now let's delve into details on the Advanced level modules.
Passing rate seems promising. But a friend told me that MICPA is as tough as ACCA.
Besides, the passing rates are inconclusive. It depends on the individuals.
Like me myself, I tend to score higher on the final year of my studies which is 'perceived' as very hard.
For the assessment, 20% is from online assessment and another 80% is from final examination - open book.
Technical modules are offered 3 terms per year. But the students are only allowed to sat for one module per term. Each module lasted for 12 weeks.
Capstone Module on the other hand is 14-week long, held twice a year. The final exam for this is a written case study.
There is only one tuition provider for MICPA at the moment.
Most of the students undertaking MICPA is part time student, sponsored by their employers.
Hence, the class are conducted during weekends.
5 completed modules + 3 years relevant working experience = Chartered Accountant.
PS * Pacifism is the belief that killing (or any other kind of violence for that matter) is not tolerable in ANY circumstances.
You have potential for greatness. Never let anyone pull you down.
You are and will be of somebody important. Find a cause and fight for that cause.
You are destined for greatness. That, I know.
Words may be only words but the essence and 'doa' of a teacher is equally important.
All my prayers and love also goes to Teacher Izawany and family.
I am who I am today because of you.
A hospital needs doctors, a factory needs engineer but both need accountants.
These past few days I've been doing some reading on the different professional accounting bodies.
The decision of choosing which one to pursue is a challenge by itself.
Stop aiming for ACCA just because it's the most well-known and heavily promoted in tertiary learning institution.
Instead, do your research to know your interest, your future planning, the costs etc. And these qualifications are not restricted to Accounting graduates, you can have whatever degree backgrounds; law, engineering, computer science, physics. It does not matter.
Rafizi Ramli, Degree in Electric and Electronics Engineering, member of ICAEW.
Nazril Idrus is a ICAA member.
With that being said, I'm gonna share what I learn about the various accounting bodies.
It's for my own reference, initially.
But why not share it, eh?
Hope someone somewhere will benefit from this.
Globally recognized with the title of Chartered Global Management Accountant.
More than just pure accounting. CIMA helps develop skills for strategic advice, managing risk and making key decisions.
Gives more career options since it focuses on the practical side of management and accounting including applied management accounting techniques, marketing activities and resource management.
2. Where can I study for CIMA?
3. What is the syllabus structure?
It is a bit complicated.
There are two levels; Certificate and Professional.
For a Degree holder (business/accounting) , we'll start with the Professional Papers.
Without any exemptions, the total papers to be taken is ten (10).
As you can see, there are three pillars with three different levels.
Operational and Management exams can be taken in any order.
Strategic level exams can only be taken after you have passed all the papers in the two previous levels.
You can sit for either Financial Management (F2) or Financial Operations (F1) first (or both at the same time).
Wanna seat for F3 -Financial Strategy? Passed all the 6 papers in Operational and Management level first.
Dan juga, for Strategic level exam, (E3,P3, F3) MUST be taken concurrently at the first seating.
At any subsequent examination attempts, these papers may be taken in any order or combination.
It is also advisable to sit for 3 papers per sitting.
** Passing rate for November 2012 exam (globally).
Out of the 10 papers, the highest passing rate is for F1- Financial Operations with 59%.
And the lowest is 44% P2 - Performance Management.
In average, the passing rate for CIMA exam is 51%.
100 orang amek exam, 49 orang gagal.
Selepas itu, masuklah bahagian terakhir yakni T4 - Test of Professional Competence.
Dan most of the exam is a 3 hours ordeal with a 20-minute reading time.
Is the exam very difficult that you allocate 20 minutes for the students to study the question beforehand?
Looking at the passing rate, yes it is!
4. Can I get some exemptions?
Mungkin antara sebab mengapa ACCA is so famous is that it offered exemptions up to 9 papers for UNITEN and UiTM students. (Bercakap berdasarkan pengalaman since I'm quite familiar with these two uni).
You can check at CIMA database here.
Bear in mind that different uni offers different exemption and even from the same uni; contohnya UiTM. Those yang graduate tahun 2010, yang diserap from diploma, those yang graduate after 2010 semuanya berbeza.
But for my friends yang sama-sama dari diploma UiTM and sambung Bachelor in Accountancy (Hons) di UiTM yang bakal graduate minggu nie, anda punye exemptions adalah seperti berikut.
Makanya tinggal lagi 6 paper.
Untuk Uniten, since we are using the new syllabus (batch 2010) we have to individually apply the exemption from CIMA.
Exemption fee sama je dengan exam fee. Meaning even if we got exempted from the papers, we still need to pay GBP48 (Certificate level), GBP81 (Operation and Management level) and GBP87 (Strategic level) for each papers ye.
Maka rakan-rakan UiTM, exemption fees anda ialah GBP564.
Go to CIMAGlobal, register as student. The registration fees is GBP72.
For the new students, annual subscription fee is waived for the first year.
The next year however, sila mula membayar annual fees of GBP100.
For May exam, the dateline is 31st January.
For November exam, the dateline is 31st August.
Exemption process may take up to 20 working days. Makanya, plan well.
On average, students complete the ten professional qualification exams in four years. Most students attempt two or three exams at each sitting but they can be completed in three sittings.
Ingat ye, 3 years experience before becoming a full fledged CIMA member, with the title of Chartered Global Management Accountant.
Few months back, I've been offered a place for internship at Astro Awani. I think I've mentioned that in my blog.
If I had accepted it, I'll be doing research on politics and the general election. How fun is that?
But, you know things came up and my internship is deferred.
So, a friend of mine yang apparently has no idea I'm in Germany send me a text.
Untunglah intern kat Awani, muka pun ada kat laman web diee!! Sayang betul Awani dengan student praktikal!
Eh? Blur sekejap di situ.
Twitterjaya : Debaran menanti saat #bubar.
Nasib baik tak de tweet benda-benda sensetif.
Thanks Astro Awani for the Live TV during GE13.
Most of the movie theaters in Germany dubbed the movies into Deutsche.
It's the same case as in Thailand. (Even Running Man is dubbed into Thai Language).
Thankfully Cinestar Metropolis in Frankfurt offered the movies in the original version.
It's not that far from Mainz. Plus, the ride is very smooth and comfortable.
The trip from Muadzam to Kuantan is longer; in comparison.
Things I would do to watch movies (rolling eyes).
Here, the viewers are to buy the 3D specs themselves for 1 Euro.
Bring it again ya, the next time.
Melainkan kalau rasa nak menderma another 1 Euro and buy another pair of glasses.
Since it's the original version (English), the hall is quite empty.
Well, ada lah dalam 30 orang.
The hall is VERY big, so the number seems immaterial.
30 orang pun rasa macam sikit sangat.
Everyone knew there's a bonus scene after the credits. So we all waited.
Tak nak lama pulak credits tu kan.
Siap bagitahu siapa Finance Controller.
This is my fourth time in Frankfurt and every single time I promised myself that the next time I will plan my visit properly. But being me, I just love to walk and wonder around. Every time, I stumbled upon something new, something interesting.
I love Frankfurt because you'll find a park everywhere!
Ada je port-port menarik untuk menenangkan jiwa gitteww.
Sat here for a long, long time. Haha!
My previous post on Frankfurt, I'd mentioned the Zeil right?
The busiest shopping street in Germany.
Like Bukit Bintang area. Only better!
On the Zeil (please keep in mind that it's a one long street) there's THREE H&M outlets.
Walked along the road. Went into every store to find some outfits.
Lebih kurang duit belanja dua hari.
Apa lah salahnya puasa sehari dua.
But I didn't buy it after all.

Business & Efficiency Leaders Praise Portman, Shaheen Legislation to Reduce Emissions & Spur Economic Growth
July 18, 2019 | Press Releases
WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), along with Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Chris Coons (D-DE), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Mark Warner (D-VA), introduced the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act (ESIC), which will improve energy efficiency in three key sectors – buildings, industrial, and the federal government. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, residential and commercial buildings accounted for about 40 percent of total U.S. energy consumption in 2018. In addition, reports from the U.S. Department of Energy have found that the federal government is the largest single energy consumer in the country. By improving energy efficiency in these three key sectors, this legislation will help reduce emissions, protect the environment, and create jobs. The legislation also includes important initiatives to reduce water usage and promote water conservation. The following are supportive statements from business and efficiency leaders who are backing the legislation:
"Senators Portman and Shaheen have revamped their bill to use some of the best tools available to use energy more efficiently. These policies would strengthen the economy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It's a better-than-ever plan to accelerate energy efficiency, and it's time to get it across the finish line. It's too expensive to keep leaving these energy savings sitting on the table," said Alliance to Save Energy President Jason Hartke.
"In the midst of scorched-earth partisan battles, we commend Senators Rob Portman and Jeanne Shaheen for introducing an energy efficiency bill that stands out as a commonsense, bipartisan solution. The Portman-Shaheen bill uses technology and best practices to save energy in homes, commercial buildings, and industry. The bill would result in better building energy codes, more aid to small manufacturing plants, and mortgage lending that recognizes the value of efficiency in homes. These are tangible energy efficiency solutions that transform waste into wealth by saving Americans money on their bills, all while improving the environment and the economy," said Steven Nadel, Executive Director, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
"When it comes to sustainability and climate change, manufacturers believe in effective action to move our country forward and Portman-Shaheen is a great example of serious legislation that will help do just that," said Ross Eisenberg, vice president of energy and resources policy at the National Association of Manufacturers. "Technologies produced by U.S. companies that reduce energy consumption are readily available today, and this bipartisan legislation reduces barriers to their implementation. Portman-Shaheen is incentive-based legislation that has enjoyed broad support in the Senate and in the business community. It should be considered and passed swiftly in Congress so manufacturers across the country can better leverage energy efficiency technologies to improve their operations and their continued environmental stewardship."
"For decades, homebuilders have struggled to find a way to help home buyers afford the upfront costs of energy efficient features which will save them hundreds of dollars on their annual utility bills. This bill is transformational because it solves that problem by allowing homeowners to more easily afford energy efficient features, it will save them money every month and it will significantly reduce overall energy consumption," said Ken Gear, CEO of Leading Builders of America.
"Energy efficiency in the building envelope is a critical to saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and it should be part of any energy bill that seeks to balance environmental and economic priorities. We believe the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act achieves that balance by enabling and promoting the use of high-value insulation materials to achieve these important objectives," said Robert D. McArver, Head of Government Affairs, North America, Covestro LLC.
"The Energy Savings and Industrial Competiveness (ESIC) Act is exactly the kind of smart, forward-looking policy that will help building owners respond to our modern, evolving economy," said Jeffrey D. DeBoer, President and CEO of The Real Estate Roundtable. "The needs of business tenants have changed dramatically since the turn of the century to power the data centers, IT, and communications systems upon which our workforce depends. Building owners are meeting their tenants' 24/7 energy demands while constructing and managing their assets more efficiently – and reducing their carbon footprints. The ESIC Act will allow our sector to reach even higher levels of building performance. The bill will bring greater transparency and import consideration of small business impacts to the energy codes process. It will encourage appraisers to account for energy efficient investments when determining a building's fair market value. And importantly, the ESIC Act will drive the collection of reliable national data on energy consumed by U.S. real estate and the people who live, work, play and heal in our commercial building infrastructure."
"The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act will foster reduced emissions and operating costs, a win-win for business. The Chamber strongly supports its enactment and we applaud Senators Portman and Shaheen for their continued dedication and steadfast leadership on this issue. Increasing our energy efficiency ultimately means producing more with less, which in turn reduces emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gasses. Efficiency gains improve U.S. productivity, benefiting all sectors of our economy while simultaneously addressing climate change," said Christopher Guith, Acting President of the Global Energy Institute at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"Energy efficiency is the most effective action that can be taken to address climate change and reduce toxic air emissions. An energy efficient building also means lower utility bills and increased comfort for occupants. ESIC provides the roadmap for improving how the Federal government helps states, local governments and the private sector more fully take advantage of the benefits provided by improving the efficiency of our nation's building stock," said Curt Rich, President and CEO, North American Insulation Manufacturers Association
"ACC applauds Senators Portman and Shaheen for continuing to champion this important, bipartisan legislation. The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness (ESIC) Act will help drive energy efficiency improvement across the economy. The chemistry industry is part of the solution: Using our products, manufacturers are creating the technologies that empower Americans to save energy. It's one of the many ways chemistry is the science behind sustainability. In addition, energy efficiency is one of the cheapest ways to help manufacturers be more competitive in global markets," said Cal Dooley, President and CEO, American Chemistry Council.
"We want to thank Senators' Portman and Shaheen for their continued leadership in promoting this energy efficiency legislation. If enacted, it will move the nation and our states forward to increase our efficiency in homes and businesses and help advance solutions that leverage our energy efficiency resources and innovation. NASEO wants to see this legislation move forward in 2019. This is a bipartisan issue," said David Terry, Executive Director of the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO).
"BOMA International is proud to support the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act, which serves as a testament to the intersection between commercial real estate and energy efficiency," said BOMA International President and Chief Operating Officer Henry H. Chamberlain, APR, FASAE, CAE. "We commend Senators Portman and Shaheen for working across party lines and for bringing a wide range of stakeholders together, proving that business interests and environmental objectives are not mutually exclusive."
"American homes, buildings, and industrial facilities are electrifying, and doing so efficiently. Using energy wisely allows our economy to produce more value at a lower cost with fewer emissions. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) applauds Senators Portman and Shaheen for their leadership in introducing the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2019," said NEMA President and CEO Kevin Cosgriff. "The 21st century future will be digital, connected, and electric, as the two sponsors wisely surmise. This bill will promote important energy programs and activities to ensure that U.S. buildings and infrastructure are safe, reliable and efficient in this modernized future."
"The National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) thanks Senators Portman and Shaheen for the introduction of Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness (ESIC) Act. We support the bill because we believe that it will deliver benefits that are multiples of its modest cost. We take particular notice of the provisions to continue the effort to reduce energy waste in federal buildings, to improve the energy performance of America's schools, to establish the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) in law, and to mandate that the EPA and the EIA coordinate their efforts to develop a comprehensive database of the energy use of US commercial buildings. We look forward to working with Senators Portman and Shaheen, as well as the other Senate sponsors of ESIC, to encourage the Congress to pass this important legislation" said Timothy D. Unruh, Ph.D., PE, CEM, LEED-AP, Executive Director, National Association of Energy Service Companies.
"The Federal Performance Contracting Coalition is pleased to support the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness (ESIC) Act, introduced by Senators Portman and Shaheen. We are particularly glad to see strong federal energy performance provisions in Title IV. As a coalition of companies engaged in Energy Savings Performance Contracting for our nation's federal buildings, we support provisions that encourage efforts to make our federal facilities more energy efficient. More efficient buildings save not only on energy consumption, but on energy costs, too, which translates taxpayer savings. We also support the authorization of the Federal Energy Management Program, which provides important assistance and guidance to agencies that carry out Energy Savings Performance Contracts," said Jennifer Schafer, Executive Director, Federal Performance Contracting Coalition.
"The Business Council for Sustainable Energy commends Senators Portman and Shaheen on their strong bipartisan leadership in promoting energy efficiency legislation to improve our nation's energy productivity. The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness (ESIC) Act encourages the use of energy efficiency technologies in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of the economy and will cut costs, spur economic growth, and foster job creation," said Lisa Jacobson, President, Business Council for Sustainable Energy.


Hi M&M community, I want to share my work in progress from its earliest roots.
I am reimplementing Might & Magic 8 from scratch using Unity. Some of you are surely saying: "Hey, look, here is another guy thinking he can reimplement a game from M&M 6-8 series, meh, he will give up eventually like all others before him".

Thanks for your interest ! I was toying with the idea of making the OpenMM8 in "pseudo-HD" mode - taking all existing textures and rescaling them using some high-pass filter to get a better look. But I think I will postpone this one until I have gameplay foundation already in place.
2) Guard - Friendly to player until damaged by player. When damaged by player, Guard acts in the same way as Enemy. If left untouched and friendly, he will patrol within his predefined area.
3) Villager - Friendly to player. When damaged by player or if nearby friendly villager / guard is damaged by player, he flees from player, he does not attempt to retaliate. If left untouched and friendly, he just patrols within his predefined area and if player comes near him, he will stop and look at player.
Sorry for the long period of inactivity. In the past 6 months there has been a huge amount of progress, nevertheless, there is sooo much more work to do.
- Working house loop videos with sound - I had to convert original smacker format to .OGV format with a bit of lower quality. Unity does not handle looping videos very well out of the box.
- Adoption of original game's data tables - for items, quests, houses, npcs, etc.
Impressive. I'm glad to see you're continuing to work on it.
Excellent work. Do you need help from a non-programmer? I know well .txt files in original MM.

Mitochondrial Therapy in Complicated Pregnancies Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Issues in Offspring
August 20, 2020 August 20, 2020 by Kim Stewart
Babies that experience low oxygen levels in the womb due to pregnancy complications often go on to develop heart disease in adulthood. A study using sheep has discovered that mitochondrial therapy with a specialized patented CoQ10 supplement antioxidant (MitoQ) may reduce the risks of heart disease, according to the journal Science Advances.
There is strong evidence that the environment experienced during sensitive periods of fetal development directly influences long-term cardiovascular health – a process known as 'developmental programming.'
Low oxygen in the womb – known as chronic fetal hypoxia – is one of the most common complications in human pregnancy. In a process termed 'oxidative stress,' low oxygen to the developing fetus can cause damage to its heart and blood vessels. Fetal hypoxia is diagnosed when a scan during pregnancy shows the baby is not growing properly.
"Many people may be predisposed to heart disease as adults because of the low level of oxygen they received in the womb. By providing a specific mitochondria-targeted antioxidant supplement to mothers whose pregnancy is complicated by fetal hypoxia, we can potentially prevent this," said Professor Dino Giussani from the University of Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, who led the study.
Chronic hypoxia is common to many complications of pregnancy. It can be caused by a number of conditions including pre-eclampsia, infection of the placenta, gestational diabetes or maternal obesity.
Oxidative stress largely originates in the cells' mitochondria – the 'batteries' that power our cells – where the processes of respiration and energy production occur. To target mitochondria the Cambridge team used MitoQ, developed by Professor Mike Murphy and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge's MRC-Mitochondrial Biology Unit. MitoQ selectively accumulates within mitochondria, where it works to reduce oxidative stress.
Having established the safety of the treatment, the researchers gave MitoQ to pregnant sheep under low oxygen conditions. They found that the mitochondrial therapy protects against fetal growth restriction and high blood pressure in the offspring as adults. Using chicken embryos they also showed that MitoQ protects against mitochondria-derived oxidative stress.
The supplement has already been used in a number of human trials to lower hypertension in older subjects.
"It is very exciting to see the potential to use MitoQ to treat a baby during a problematic pregnancy and prevent problems arising far later in life. There's still a long way to go before this can be used by pregnant mothers, but our work points to new possibilities for novel treatments," said Professor Murphy.
This is the first time that MitoQ has been tested during sheep pregnancy. Sheep are animals whose cardiovascular development resembles that of a human baby more closely than laboratory rats and mice. Chicken embryos were also used to isolate the direct effects of MitoQ therapy on the embryonic heart independent of any influence on the mother or placenta.
"This study reveals a plausible way to reduce the future risk of high blood pressure and consequent heart disease in babies from complicated pregnancies. Further research is now needed to translate these findings from animals to humans and identify the most effective time in development to give the MitoQ supplement to 'at risk' babies – whether that's a particular point during pregnancy or soon after birth. Overcoming this next hurdle will enable it to be tested in clinical trials," said Professor James Leiper, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation.
Cardiovascular disease is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels that can cause heart attacks and strokes. It claims the life of one in three people, and costs the United States and Canada US$130 billion and the United Kingdom over £30 billion every year. The majority of these costs are for treatments that improve outcomes, but do not cure the disease.
There are increasing calls within the public health community to change the focus of cardiovascular disease research from treatment to prevention. By looking at the specific circumstances that increase the risk of developing heart disease, interventions can be made as early as possible rather than waiting until disease has become irreversible.
"If we want to reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, we need to think of prevention rather than a cure. Applying this concept to pregnancy complications, we can bring preventative medicine all the way back into the womb – it's treatment before birth. It completely changes our way of thinking about heart disease," said Giussani.
Conclusion/ The researchers show that hypoxia generates mitochondria-derived oxidative stress during cardiovascular development, programming endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in adult offspring. MitoQ treatment during hypoxic development protects against this cardiovascular risk via enhanced nitric oxide signaling, offering a plausible intervention strategy.

"Agenda-setting and greening of the CAP"
Just, Fleming. (1997) "Agenda-setting and greening of the CAP". In: UNSPECIFIED, Seattle, WA. (Unpublished)
The paper is a pre-study to a broader project on agenda-setting and policy-making as regards agri-environment in EU and five member states. The main hypotheses are that: 1) traditional agricultural agenda setting and policy-making takes place in a rather closed segment characterised by a fixed institutional set-up both in member states and at EU level, despite the many differences otherwise between national and EU policy-making; 2) that environmental agenda setting and policy-making is characterised by a much weaker segmentation and firm institutional set-up and that this will vary depending upon which environmental issue is on the agenda. It is claimed that this is the situation both in member states and at EU level; 3) that agri-environmental questions--together with other new issues like animal welfare and health--will contribute to erode the traditionally strong agricultural policy segment. Both in member states and at EU-level, agri-environmental issues are usually decided upon in the ministries of agriculture and at DG VI (agriculture) respectively. The new issues are in many cases put forward with so much vigour by environmentalists, experts--and some member states in the case of EU--that the old segments have been forced to open for new agendas, new lobby groups and new institutions if the ministries and DG VI want to keep the new issues within their authority. The paper leaves it as an open question if the policy network model will be the most appropriate theoretical point of departure when looking at the EU level. As long as the agri-environmental question is relatively new, it seems that the 'garbage can model' best captures the vivid reality.

Nintendo Direct April 2017 Announced: Where and when to watch online
By Xavier Harding
Nintendo Direct video announcements are among the best recent company traditions. Once every few months, the folks at Nintendo take to the internet to talk to their fanbase directly. Nintendo Direct livestreams in the past have brought great announcements from new Super Smash Bros characters to emphasizing what indie games we can expect on the Switch.
While the rumors of an April 1 Nintendo Direct didn't pan out for obvious reasons (Who would believe anything that happened on April Fools?), there will be an April 2017 Direct event for fans to look forward to.
Nintendo Direct April 2017 livestream: Where and when to tune in
Nintendo took to Twitter to bring us a specific date for when we can expect more Switch game details. The April 12 Nintendo Direct may give us enough news to tide us over until E3 2017, the gaming industry's biggest trade show and convention in North America, in June.
Nintendo Direct April 2017 livestream: What to expect
Judging by Nintendo's Direct image, we can definitely expect news about Arms. The Switch-exclusive fighting game that lets you use motion controls to punch your friends (in the game) is set to release sometime this Spring. We could see a clear launch day for this game come during the April 2017 Direct announcement.
This Nintendo Direct may give us more details about Splatoon 2, which is also prominently featured on the event poster. The first-party shooter game carried out its successful global beta last month and the official game will be out this summer. With some time to kill between now then, Nintendo could be looking to start that Splatoon 2 hype train in earnest.
What we'd like to see are some details regarding Virtual Console for those of us looking to play legacy games. We're hopeful that Nintendo could use the Direct livestream to announce that stores will finally receive a steady stream of stock, so fans can actually buy the system. Finally, perhaps Nintendo will hint at what we'll see at E3, where Nintendo will likely make its big announcements. We're not expecting Pokémon Stars, but we can dream.

What is the Cobb-Douglas production function?
The Cobb-Douglas production function calculator helps you calculate the total production of a product according to Cobb-Douglas production function. Briefly, a production function shows the relationship between the output of goods and the combination of factors used to obtain it.
The Cobb-Douglas production function is a special form of the production function. It uses the relationship between capital and labor to calculate the number of goods produced. To learn more about the characteristics of the Cobb-Douglas production function, read the article below where you can find more about the production function definition and production function equation. We've also presented the Cobb-Douglas production function formula, scroll down and check it out!
Development of this production function started in the 1920s when Paul Douglas calculated estimates for production factors for labor (workers) and capital (here in a broad sense: money, buildings, machines). He wanted to show how they relate to each other and he wished to express this relation as a mathematical function. Charles Cobb suggested using an existing production function equation proposed by Kurt Wicksell as a base, which Douglas and Cobb improved and expanded upon. The results they got very closely reflected American macroeconomic data at the time. Although accurate, economists criticized the results for using sparse data. Even when conducting small scale research you need a proper sample size to make your results statistically significant. It is even more important when you want to try to estimate industry-wide macroeconomic theories. Over the years, the theory was improved and expanded using US census data, and proved accurate for other countries as well. Paul Douglas formally presented the results in 1947.
The Cobb-Douglas production function is known for being the first time a proper aggregate production function was estimated and developed to be accurately used to analyze whole branches of industry. It was a cornerstone for macroeconomics, and has been widely used, adopted and improved since its inception. The importance of Cobb-Douglas production function to macroeconomics can be compared to the importance of the Pythagorean theorem to math.
Y is the total production or output of goods.
A is the total factor productivity. It is a positive constant, and is used to show the change in output that is not the result of main production factors.
L is the labor input which indicates the total number of labor that went into production.
K is the capital input which shows the quantity of capital that was used during production.
α is the output elasticity of capital.
β is the output elasticity of labor.
Output elasticity is the responsiveness of total production quantities to changes in quantities of a production factor. It is a percentage change in total production resulting from a percentage change in a factor. The more capital or labor we use, the more of a good we are going to get, but it is not a one to one conversion. It means that a 1 percent change in either factor would not result in a 1% change in total production, but is rather dependent on the level of output elasticity associated with the factor. Each of these values is a positive constant no bigger than 1 and is dependent on the level of available technology (0 < = α < = 1, 0 < = β < = 1). In practice they have to be smaller than 1 because a perfect production process does not exist - inefficiencies in labor and capital occur. Output elasticities can be found using historic production data for an industry. Suppose that output elasticity for labor - β is equal to 0.3. A 1% increase in labor would equal to approximately a 0.3% increase in total production in that case.
output elasticity, as mentioned above, is constant. It means that for a given Cobb-Douglas production function for a specific industry the value of α (output elasticity of capital), and β (output elasticity of labor) should not change.
marginal product represents additional quantities of output we get by increasing the amount of a production factor used by a unit. In case of Cobb-Douglas production function, the marginal product is positive and decreasing. It happens because output elasticity is positive. It is, however, smaller than one, so the Cobb-Douglas production function has diminishing marginal returns. It means that while increases in capital or labor will result in increased total production, each time the increase will be a bit smaller than before.
returns to scale represent the proportional change in output when the proportional change is the same in all factors. For Cobb-Douglas production function returns to scale are equal to output elasticities of both labor and capital: α + β.
If α + β = 1 you can say that the returns to scale are constant. It means that doubling the amount of both capital and labor would result in double the output. With the United States industry data available, this is what Paul Douglas observed when he was first establishing the function.
Multiplying 25.51 * 2 = 51.02 Indeed, you can see that doubling the labor and capital resulted in doubling the production. If you are having trouble calculating labor and capital raised by an alpha and beta check out our handy exponent calculator.
If α + β < 1 returns to scale are decreasing. The proportional change in factors will result in a smaller proportional change in output.
If α + β > 1 returns to scale are increasing. Likewise, the proportional change in factors will lead to a higher proportional change in output.
It means that using 30 workers and 25 dollars, you will be able to produce 215.13 units of product - in this case, glass balls.
Changing the total factor productivity or output elasticities constants in our production function example means that you will use a Cobb-Douglas production function for a different industry - you will no longer be calculating output for glass balls, but, e.g., metal boxes instead. Of course, you don't have to do all those calculations by hand. Let our calculator do the work for you!
Our Cobb-Douglas production function calculator makes it easy to observe how total production changes depending on the changes in labor and capital. The reverse calculations are also possible. If you want to find out how much capital you need for a particular amount of total production, fill in other variables and our calculator will find that value for you.
