ThinKing December 2017 – Fast and low-cost simulations "at the touch of a button"
Renumics automates CAE processes with the aid of artificial intelligence – the innovative software platform makes complex simulation technology accessible and easy to use
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) with the aid of simulation is extremely important in lightweight technology for optimising structures on the PC. The problem is that it is usually extremely expensive, time consuming and personnel intensive. So why not just automate simple numerical simulations with the aid of machine-learning methods and artificial intelligence and then let a clever algorithm do the work? That is precisely what the three founders of the Karlsruhe-based company Renumics GmbH thought before developing a software platform which not only makes it a easier but also considerably less expensive to use the simulation technology.
The Development Agency for Lightweighting Baden-Württemberg presents this innovation in the December edition of its ThinKing. Leichtbau BW GmbH uses this label to showcase excellent lightweight technology products or services from Baden-Württemberg every month.
Crash tests play an indispensable role in the development of a new motor vehicle. However, there are many simulations to perform on a computer before a prototype is subject to a crash test and impacts a solid wall in a test laboratory. This requires that the CAD model is transferred to a simulation model, which can very quickly make use of several hundred hours of work, because the procedure is extremely complex: there are numerous manual steps and individual "clicks" that have to be made on the PC to assign the specific physical properties of the components and materials to the model. A huge amount of know how is also required and a complex simulation consequently needs to be performed by numerical analysts.
"The large-scale input of human resources and financial costs involved meant that in many cases simulations were only performed in large corporations. SMEs tended to do without them", explains Dr. Stefan Suwelack, one of Renumics' three founders. The software platform created by the Karlsruhe-based start-up is specifically intended to enable small and medium-sized enterprises to make use of simulation technology. "Our form of machine learning involves people teaching the computer how to understand geometries, for example, or how particular workflows must be performed so that previously manual processes can later be automated," says Suwelack.
The computer takes on the processing of geometry data
This not only takes some of the strain of numerical analysts. The really big advantage which Renumics' software solutions offers is that automation enables significant time and cost savings for the development of a simulation. "We are also making these processes and the technology more accessible for SMEs," continues Suwelack. The software can be used by non-experts who do not have a specialist background in simulation. "Our philosophy for the Renumics platform is to provide a kind of modular system. The software currently in use is usually highly complex. We prefer to use far more streamlined simulation apps which are specialised for a specific application field."
Digitally mapping production processes
It is possible, for example, to teach the algorithm to interpret measurements and to decide whether they are "good" or "bad". Dr. Stefan Suwelack believes that the software also has great potential for design to cost and the digital mapping of entire production processes. Simulations can be used on the PC to determine and monitor quickly and simply how manufacturing costs, for example, change when a particular material or component is swapped for another one. It could also conceivably be used for topology optimisation in mechanical engineering. Lighter components not only allow manufacturing costs to be reduced, the drives of moving parts could also be made smaller if less mass needed to be moved. This would reduce both the amount of energy consumed and the amount of CO2 emitted.
Optimisation at the touch of a button
"I also have additive manufacturing in mind: for example, our software could help to calculate automatically whether a model is suitable at all for additive manufacturing or whether there is perhaps a better way of processing the material – fully automatically and, as it were, at the touch of a button," explains the Renumics's founder. Optimisation through simulation is now indispensable in lightweight engineering. "As we often come up against the limits of both the material and the structure in lightweight engineering, it is essential to keep on testing and trying out whether the parts really hold so that the results can be fed back into the original design process. This brings about incremental improvements in design structures. Digitalisation enables this process and the requisite feedback loop to be sped up enormously," explains Dr. Wolfgang Seeliger, Managing Director of Leichtbau BW GmbH.
Suwelack believes it would also be perfectly conceivable for the software to be used to simulate the entire product lifecycle, such as the maintenance of components. The measurement values may be compared with the "digital twin" and the values from the virtual sensor to identify any hidden damage, such as cracks or vibrations. "The big difference is that the algorithm later works in precisely the way it has been trained. Users all train the algorithm with their own data so that user A ends up using a different version than user "B", says Suwelack. Several pilot customers, including from the automotive and plastics industries, are already using the Renumics software. "The subsequent processing of the simulation results of vibration analyses has been automated for the first time, for example," explains Suwelack.
About Renumics
Renumics GmbH was founded in February 2017. The name is an acronym of "rethink numerics". The three founders have known each other from the day when they all worked on medical technology research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Today the team draws on experience and research in the field of numerical simulation and cognitive computing and has specialised in software development and CAE.

 - deployment/deployment-service-1-db is ready.
Deployments stabilized in 22.23 seconds

I can't figure out what went wrong. Followed this and this.

A: The "pod has unbound PVC" suggests that the PersistentVolumeClaim associated with your Pods are ... not bound. Meaning your volume provisioner is probably still waiting for a confirmation the corresponding volume was created, before marking your PVC as bound.
Considering your last log mentions deployment being ready, then there isn't much to worry about.
One thing you could look for is your StorageClass VolumeBindingMode:

*

*If "Immediate", then your provisioner would try to create a PV as soon as your register a new PVC.

*If "OnDemand", then Kubernetes would wait for a Pod to try (and fail) attaching your volume once, and only then the PV creation process would start.

Although if you're creating both your PVC and Deployment relatively simultaneously, this won't change much.
There's nothing critical here. Although if such error persist: maybe something is wrong either with your volume provisioner, or even more likely: your storage provider. Eg, with Ceph, when you're missing monitors: you won't be able to create new volumes - though you may still read/write existing ones.

edit, answering your comment:
There isn't much that can be done.
First: make sure your StorageClass VolumeBindingMode is set to Immediate -- otherwise, there won't be any provisioning before you create a Pod attaching that volume.
Next, you can look into the Operator SDK, or anything that can query the API (Ansible, python, ... shell script), such as you may implement something that would wait for your PVC status to confirm provisioning suceeded.
Then again, there's no guarantee your deployment would always be applied to clusters that offer Immediate volume binding. And there's nothing wrong with OnDemand -- on larger clusters, with lots of users that don't necessarily clean up objects, ... it's not unusual.
Those events you mention arguably are not errors. Even with Immediate binding. It's perfectly normal for the Pod controller to wait for volumes to be properly registered and ready to use.

Oak Grove resident Johnny Maitland, 14, a freshmen at La Salle Prep in unincorporated Milwaukie, placed first at the American Water Ski Association Western Regional Water Ski Championships on July 26 in Colorado.
The following weekend, Aug. 5, he broke the Northwest Region slalom water-ski record at a tournament held at Warman Lake in Vancouver, Washington.
Getting aroung ball obstacles in the water becomes more difficult as the water-skier's rope is shortened. After maneuvering all six balls at 35 feet of rope, he rounded two balls at 38 feet. The previous record was set in 1991 at Warman Lake when a skier completed two balls at 35 feet.
Maitland's great scores at these two tournaments moved his ranking to No. 1 in the world and the top seed going into the 76th Water Ski Goode National Championship held at Mystic Lakes Ski Club in Maize, Kansas. In the final round, he and the No. 2 seed had to ski again to determine who placed second, which the young man from Orlando, Florida, won. In a sport dominated by the south it was exciting to see a teen from the Northwest in the hunt for the championship.


This past year my wife and I home-schooled our eighth-grade son. One school day, he and I decided we would make fire the old way — out of nothing but plant materials and our own hustle. Our son watched a seemingly endless series of instructional survival videos on YouTube as part of his research. He chose the bow method based on our physics class about friction. He then constructed a bow from a branch in the woods, carved a stick for the spindle and added a fiber string. It was mighty tough going. We spent hours refining the apparatus. He was surprised by the enormous amount of bodily energy required to focus onto a very small spot, and how a minuscule, nearly invisible bit of fuel, once sparked, can quickly amplify into a flame and then a fire. Chemistry, physics, history and gym all in one lesson. And, man, when you are 13 years old and Prometheus, it's exhilarating!

One day our student would dissect and diagram the inside organs of flowers; the next he'd write short stories or poems and then revise them; and the next day we'd solve logic problems with algebra, then he'd work on plans for a chicken coop and maybe we'd do a field trip to a car factory. He also went through eighth-grade textbooks in history, grammar, geometry and the like. This type ofhome-schooling is really nothing special. Our son was merely one of more than a million students home-schooled in the United States last year. Our reasons for home-schooling were not uncommon, either. We wanted to create an ideal learning environment. For the previous seven years, our son was enrolled in challenging schools. His grades were excellent, but the amount of homework was grinding him down. The intense high school he was planning to attend promised even more work. He asked if he could be home-schooled for his last year before high school, and by a quirk of life, this was a year our schedules would permit our role as home-school teachers.
Now that the year is done, I am struck that the fancy technology supposedly crucial to an up-to-the-minute education was not a major factor in its success. Of course, technology in the broadest sense was everywhere in our classroom. There was an inexpensive microscope on the kitchen table and an old digital camera to record experiments. There was a PC always on for research. Our son was also a big user of online tutorials. Of particular note is Kahn Academy, which offers nearly 1,600 short high-quality tutorials on algebra, chemistry, history, economics and other subjects — all created by one guy, and all free. The Internet was also essential for my wife and me as we researched the best textbooks, the best projects, the best approaches.
But the computer was only one tool of many. Technology helped us learn, but it was not the medium of learning. It was summoned when needed. Technology is strange that way. Education, at least in the K-12 range, is more about child rearing than knowledge acquisition. And since child rearing is primarily about forming character, instilling values and cultivating habits, it may be the last area to be directly augmented by technology.
Even so, as technology floods the rest of our lives, one of the chief habits a student needs to acquire is technological literacy — and we made sure it was part of our curriculum. By technological literacy, I mean the latest in a series of proficiencies children should accumulate in school. Students begin with mastering the alphabet and numbers, then transition into critical thinking, logic and absorption of the scientific method. Technological literacy is something different: proficiency with the larger system of our invented world. It is close to an intuitive sense of how you add up, or parse, the manufactured realm. We don't need expertise with every invention; that is not only impossible, it's not very useful. Rather, we need to be literate in the complexities of technology in general, as if it were a second nature.
I don't think my son mastered all those principles in one year, but he got a start. For the most part, learning at home is more demanding than learning in a classroom because it requires more self-direction. On one particularly long day, with books piled up and papers spread out, my son was slumped in his chair.
"Is everything O.K.?" I asked.
He had learned the most critical thing: how to keep learning. A month ago he entered high school eager to be taught — not facts, or even skills, but a lifelong process that would keep pace with technology's rapid, ceaseless teaching.
If we listen to technology, and learn to be proficient in its ways, then we'll be able to harness this most powerful force in the world. If not, we'll be stuck at the bottom of the class.

Physician Group Cited For Sharing Patient Data Without Business Associate Agreement
A group providing hospitalist physicians on contract has learned the hard way that sharing PHI with vendors is a no-no unless the vendor has signed a business associate agreement. The group, Advanced Care Hospitalists, which serves west-central Florida, has been fined $500,000 for this oversight along with other derelictions of its HIPAA duties.
Between November 2011 and June 2012, ACH farmed out medical billing to an individual identifying himself as a representative of a Florida-based company named Doctor's First Choice Billings, Inc. (In an unusual twist, this individual apparently signed the ACH deal without knowledge or permission of First Choice's owner, which raises other questions beyond the scope of this article.)
Later, in February 2014, a hospital let ACH know that patient information was viewable on the First Choice website, including name, date of birth and social security number. Of course, ACH's first move was to ask First Choice to take the data off of the website. Then, it surveyed the damage done.
After assessing the situation, ACH notified the HHS Office for Civil Rights about the breach. The group eventually concluded that more than 9,000 patients could have been affected. In response, OCR conducted an investigation into the breach — and reviewers weren't exactly happy with what they found.
The OCR concluded that ACH never entered into a business associate agreement with the individual, which HIPAA requires.
What's more, it found that despite being in business since 2005, ACH didn't have a policy requiring that it sign business associate agreements with relevant vendors until April 2014 (another HIPAA foul) and had neither conducted a risk analysis nor implemented security measures or other written HIPAA policies before 2014 (additional, major HIPAA fouls).
Given the extent to which its HIPAA compliance, well, didn't exist, OCR is asking for more than the $500K. ACH has agreed to a corrective action plan including the adoption of business associate agreements, a thorough risk analysis cutting across its entire business and the development of comprehensive policies and procedures needed to comply with HIPAA rules.
Perhaps if ACH had demanded that the unnamed medical billing contractor sign a business associate agreement, it might have avoided the patient data breach, or perhaps not. If nothing else, though, the hospitalist group might have stood a better chance of knowing with whom it had actually contracted with, which certainly wouldn't have hurt.

Q: Change background color of Material Ui datepicker I want to change the background color of my material ui datepicker modal
import { createMuiTheme } from "@material-ui/core";
const materialTheme = createMuiTheme({
    overrides: {
        MuiPickersToolbar: {
            toolbar: {
                backgroundColor: 'red',
            },
        },
        MuiPickersDay: {
            day: {
                color: 'black',

            },
            daySelected: {
                backgroundColor: '#33abb6',
            },
            dayDisabled: {
                color: '#ccc',
            },
            current: {
                color: 'red',
            },
        },
        MuiPickersModal: {
            dialogAction: {
                color: '#33abb6',
            },
        },
    },
});

export default materialTheme

In the above code i was able to change colors of date and few others but not the total background color
Are there any documentation from which i can get these class names or any other option

A: Try in CSS:
.MuiPaper-root {
  background-color: #eaea87;
}

A: In recent version of MUI (v5.3.1) I resolved this issue by adding sx={{ backgroundColor: 'white' }} to TextField in renderInput prop as below:
<MobileDatePicker
  label="Date"
  value={date}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
  setDate(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={(params) => (
    <TextField
      sx={{ backgroundColor: 'white' }}
      fullWidth
      {...params}
    />
  )}
/>

A: You can use createTheme to provide component overrides (see docs):
const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    // Name of the component
    MuiInputBase: {
      styleOverrides: {
        // Name of the slot
        root: {
          // Some CSS
          backgroundColor: "white",
          // add variant styles like so
          "&.Mui-disabled": {
            "backgroundColor": "#cccccc"
          }
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

You can see the name of the component to use by inspect element and looking at the class names, and you can find the slots in the component definition, e.g. this is the slots for the MuiInput component.
Also see this source on combining class names to target disabled, hover, active etc.

A: MuiPickers is using Dialog Material Ui, so override all dialog component that be used in this pickers. I'm not sure with this solution below. You can try this, hope it's worked.
   const materialTheme = createMuiTheme({

I think the good way is send style in DialogProps

https://material-ui-pickers.dev/api/DateTimePicker (section modal wrapper)

so then you can override all dialog modal.

I am an urban artist. I work in a documentary style outside on city streets.
In the theater of urban life I give equal emphasis to the stage and the actors, the streets and the people. I show what the city looks like—really looks like—because if it isn't there, I can't show it. My style of art is not conceptual: I find pictures; I don't make them. I don't use Photoshop and I don't need to because the world is strange enough right off the shelf. My work reflects both a Texas upbringing and years in West Africa, India, and Europe where my Texas roots were challenged, resulting in a jaundiced eye and an odd sense of humor. In my work the world's foibles often result in images that lie between a giggle and a guffaw. Influences include Cartier-Bresson, Lee Friedlander, Martin Parr, and Elliott Erwitt.
Documentary photography has not been a popular medium in Austin artistic circles. I don't know why. In the speed and confusion of urban life there is little opportunity to appreciate small moments briefly glimpsed. By isolating subjects in a photograph we can examine them in detail—sort of like looking at a stuffed lion in a museum—in a way we could not in real life. Sometimes something ordinary needs an artist's touch to get it noticed and appreciated, which my photographs try to do. Documentary photography also possesses a veracity not available to other plastic arts, and reality-based art rich in detail can be refreshing in an era of fake news and alternative facts.

I've posted before about my admiration for Bill Bryson's writing, in both "Renewing my Visa with Bill Bryson" and "Good Photographers, Bad Writers". My favorite all-time book – the one I'd want if I could have only one – is A Short History of Nearly Everything. One clue that he's a great writer is that the subject matter of the book can be completely uninteresting – the very essence of boring – but he makes it enthralling. I cite as example his books on hiking the Appalachian trail (A Walk in the Woods) and on growing up in the 50s (Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid).
I've also read his books on traveling in Australia (In a Sunburned Country) and on the history of the English language (The Mother Tongue), both excellent! His compilation of short magazine articles, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, written for a British audience after having returned to The States after 20 years in England, is perfect for when you don't have a lot of time, because each article is just a few pages.
My enthusiasm, sadly, has taken a downturn with the book I just finished, The Lost Continent. This book, subtitled "Travels in Small-Town America", recounts a long trip by car on the back roads of America.
I was headed for Cairo, which is pronounced "Kay-ro." I don't know why. They do this a lot in the South and Midwest. In Kentucky, Athens is pronounced "AY-thens" and Versailles is pronounced "Vur-SAYLES." Bolivar, Missouri, is "BAW-liv-er." Madrid, Iowa, is "MAD-rid." I don't know whether the people in these towns pronounce them that way because they are backward, undereducated shitkickers who don't know any better or whether they know better but don't care that everybody thinks they are backward undereducated shitkickers. It's not really the sort of question you can ask them, is it? At Cairo I stopped for gas and in fact I did ask the old guy who doddered out to fill my tank why they pronounced Cairo as they did.
"Because that's its name," he explained as if I were kind of stupid.
"So I've heard," agreed the man.
"Not in Kay-ro they don't," he said, a little hotly.
There didn't see to be much to be gained by pursuing the point, so I let it rest there, and I still don't know why the people call it "Kay-ro." Nor do I know why any citizen of a free country would choose to live in such a dump, however you pronounce it.
Of course, we all know it's great fun to ridicule people who speak differently than you, or look differently than you, or are in any way not "you".
At least, it seems that Bill Bryson thought that, because the book is 300 pages of pure, unadulterated arrogance (expressed in a witty prose of otherwise excellent caliber). At first I thought that he was just racist, because the early part of the book covers The South and his observations of Blacks. But it quickly became apparent that anyone who had the same color skin, or different, more wealth than him or less, more education or less.... or the same... anyone that wasn't him... was a complete moron, in his opinion, worthy of the most florid disdain.
Starting this book having been a huge fan of his writing, I grew more and more distressed and disappointed as I went. Eventually I noticed that the copyright was 1989, a full decade earlier than what I had already read from him, and I realized that the Bill Bryson that I had come to know prior to this book was one whose youthful self-righteous had already been tempered by the wisdom of maturity.
Yikes. That really is bad. 'Think I'll avoid it.
I wonder if this attitude doesn't come across in his later works because he gained some maturity, or because he simply doesn't run across people he considers himself superior to.
I think it must be maturity, because his biggest laughs in just about all his other books come at his own expense. I've read a lot of his books, and he's a riot. His biography is an absolute scream. But if I had read "The Lost Continent" first, I doubt I'd have read another by him again.
Like Jeffrey, I'm disappointed in that book. But since everything since has been so, so good, I'd like to think that's evidence that he's just grown up since that early work.
Yes totally racist, like the societies he observes but not necessarily the individuals and given the calibre of his books I can't help but think it was somehow clever and a study in irony.
I found "A Walk in the Woods" to be much the same and never read anything else of his. Seems he has (or had) broad disdain for anybody not from his part of the world.
Jeffrey's post and some of the comments seem to me as if you miss a good portion of irony and humor. It looks like US Americans are a little over-sensitive when some one is making fun of their habits, language, etc.
Some German comedians describe the lower bavarian dialect as dog barking, but I dont no anyone who really feels offended by such jokes.
That's funny: Lost Continent was the first book of his I read. It drove me to hysterics, and nothing of his since has been quite as funny (although they have had their chuckles). Short History was decent, but it didn't lend itself to his type of humor.
Like you I moved to Japan. Unlike you, I'm still here. And I didn't return to the U.S. for a visit for five years after I moved here, and in just that amount of time I found I had lots of problems when returning. Because 100 yen was about a dollar, and because a quarter looked like a 100 yen coin, I would pay for things costing a dollar with a quarter, getting puzzled looks. The open friendliness of Americans kind of creeped me out for a bit. And my ears were not attuned to English, so I needed to ask for things to be repeated. And I constantly was saying "Hai" in the middle of conversations, sounding like an idiot.
After a couple of decades away, I bet Bryson had similar difficulties. I found the book funny and charming, and not insulting at all … except maybe for the part comparing Iowa girls to inflatable life rafts. But on the other hand, the disgusting obesity in the U.S. is really the main thing you notice as a returning expat, is it not? So I can give him a pass on that.
I thought Walk in the Woods was his second best after Lost Continent, because I'm a backpacker, so it wasn't boring to me. The bear stuff was absolutely on target: you freak yourself out with worry, for no real reason.

Maybe the time has come for a neighborhood crime watch for the Internet? University of Michigan School of Information professor Jeffrey MacKie-Mason, PhD and graduate student Rick Wash think so. The pair are designing a "social firewall" that would let home computer users help each other with safe surfing. MacKie-Mason, director of U-M's Socio-Technical Infrastructure for Electronic Transactions (STIET) research program, likens the concept to community-submitted Amazon book reviews. "Some home computer users are sophisticated, and if their information is collected and summarized, it might help unsophisticated users … to set up good firewall rules," he explains. He imagines the tool, if successful, could be added to existing firewall systems that people use to protect their computers.
With the building of our first computer --the monster-sized ENIAC-- in 1943 for $500,000 (about $3.5 million in today's dollars), a new communication path was forged. And it's long been apparent that the real power of computing lies in the ability to connect with other computers. As technology giant Sun Microsystems, Inc. articulates in its vision statement: "The network is the computer."
Along with good data shooting through the networks, however, info-cooties like spam, viruses, and malware can corrupt home and business computers, triggering information leaks and lost productivity. Thus, the worldwide market for network security software has grown from $8.3 billion in 2006 to a forecasted $13.5 billion-plus industry by 2011, according to Gartner, Inc. research analysts.
Security starts at home; MacKie-Mason cites the increasingly powerful, unprotected home machines that are unwitting partners in crime – often because the owners have clicked on links that download hidden programs.
Reasonable estimates in the last two years suggest that web-delivered robots or spambots are using hundreds of thousands of home PCs to send over half of the spam in the USA and to propagate viruses and denial of service attacks, which can shut down busy websites such as Yahoo or eBay, he explains.
Business machine infections also have a big bang. "Typically and historically the threats have been generic, kind of blasted to everyone that had the same vulnerability on their networks – vulnerability in an operating system or in an application," Greg Guidice, president, CEO, and co-founder of Royal Oak-based network security company RazorThreat says.
Now specific companies are targeted, often by organized crime groups seeking to profit from the black market for personal information such as banking records and social security and driver's license numbers. Guidice goes on to explain that "the CIO of [IT security solutions provider] McAfee said the whole cyber crime market as a business itself has surpassed the illegal drug trade business in terms of the amount of revenue that's generated from cyber crime."
And these crimes are immense. Last year, major retailer TJX Companies, Inc. disclosed that nearly 46 million customer credit and debit card account numbers were unlawfully obtained from its records.
"When we move to new ways of doing old things, a typical and very natural social mistake is not to pay attention to recreating the infrastructure to support these activities that took hundreds of years to develop," says MacKie-Mason. The TJX incident illustrates that as the typical retail transaction has evolved from cash payments to the transmission of credit and debit card data via wireless devices, security measures can lag behind efficiency.
Guidice estimates the breach has cost TJX $5 billion to investigate and fix systems, address the legal and public relations ramifications, and notify those affected. He also figures that targeted companies can lose up to 7% of their customers and up to 4% of market value. "It's not about IT, it's general business risk. When you look at what's happened in these large organizations that have been breached, it affects the whole entity – the shareholders, employees, customers, the whole food chain," he states.
But it's not only bandits that are chinking the armor; Virginia Rezmierski, PhD, a professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan and national speaker on security issues, says that often poorly trained personnel are the unwitting culprits. Her 2006 National Science Foundation-funded study, "Computer Incident Factor Analysis and Categorization", found over 430 security incidents at 36 colleges and universities and 20 corporations. Rezmierski recommends increased training and more explicit procedures for IT staff, the use of auditors to monitor IT policies, and analysis of security logs as some good defenses.
Additionally, a host of regulatory compliance requirements, from Payment Card Industry standards for businesses with a high volume of credit or debit card payments to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for publicly traded companies, has heightened the demand for network security tools, says Sandy Kronenberg, president and co-founder of Netarx, a Farmington Hills-based computer network solutions provider. But system monitoring can be overwhelming for any mid-to-large sized organization; with "one firewall and the logs that would output from that, you're talking a million lines of information on a daily basis, and it's just impossible to comb through that regularly," he claims.
To make for more expedient data analysis, RazorThreat --named Emerging Technology Company of 2007 by both Automation Alley and IT security magazine SC-- launched the Threat Analysis Console, which analyzes information allowed to cross the barriers of security equipment on the market.
"Our product is fundamentally based on 'from a security perspective or information perspective, who's allowed to talk to whom?' And that can be a person, network, business, division, or application," Guidice explains. The company's customer base consists of Fortune 500 retailers and financial services firms, insurers and health care providers, and military and civilian branches of the federal government.
With the accelerating business and government propensity to aggregate reams of personal data, Rezmierski sees the desire to mix disparate information sets together as problematic for network security. The implications for this are frightening. For instance, the Real I.D. Act of 2005 requires that everyone have a government-issued ID or an enhanced driver's license. "It's been pushed into the states to pull this off through enhanced driver's licenses, which is the perfect example of mixing these databases in ways that shouldn't be done. If it's ID you're trying to establish, that's an identification and authentication function, and has nothing to do with your authorization to drive a vehicle," she contends. "Just because we can connect all of these various databases, everybody is enamored by the idea of doing it, but it means you're opening a bigger target for malicious behavior and your exposure is huge. So it's the exact opposite direction of what good security management should be."
As technological capability and the desire to access ever more information online grows apace –take Internet search leader Google's recent creation of a new online health record repository– so too will the network security industry, which Kronenberg says is still a "nascent" space.
"You'd be shocked how many [companies with over 1,500 employees] there are that don't have dedicated security professionals. … Now there's the visibility of those things like TJX, but at the end of the day it very often just doesn't create budgets unless there's actually been a breach or some sort of problem that's occurred with the organization – very little proactive, and a whole lot of reactive."

This image gallery named as Stainless Steel Commercial Kitchen Hood Grease Filter Soak might be ideal solution for your decoration. As the author has insert this image into Commercial Kitchen Filters post section, would ease you to find the perfect match of you decor desire.
When it has to do with classic style dining table and seats, you want to however the complete set. Unity is a very important thing in classic design. And because the furniture is old, you will have trouble finding the match in case you don't buy the complete collection.
White round kitchen table and chairs have been exceptional kitchen place for your minimalist property. This furniture design is really going to reflect minimalist and cleanness concept of your home. Its white and round design actually shows elegant and exceptional look, right? You're able to select them for the kitchen decoration. Someone will feel great to have a seat there.
You have to be quite careful with the plan. If you would like to set the dining table in the center of the space, you have to take into account the round contour layout. The little round dining table is elastic. It leaves you an extra space for one seating. However, if you wish to put the table at the corner from the side of the wall, a tiny square shaped table would be perfect. Though it leaves you just three or possibly four seating space, the dining table will match the location flawlessly without leaving inefficient space between the round form and the firm wall shape.
Outdoor seat needs better remedy to fight from the weather, therefore it is advised to use specific outdoor cushions. Kitchen chair seat cushions can also be known as dry-fast memory foam or open cell foam. When it is wet, the cushions will absorb the atmosphere, but the open mobile will circulate it outside immediately so the cushions won't be ruined.


>It's that time again! I've got a new pattern I've been working on- this one a reproduction of a mid 1930s one piece dress. It's now available for pre-order on my website! Patterns will start shipping mid next week!
I just love this pattern to pieces! It's feminine but it's not fussy- it has all those little tailored details I love so much in mid 1930s clothing!
I started sewing this for myself last fall and tucked it away to be finished later once winter sat in. I made my version up with 1930s Collegiate inspiration- I even used a vintage football belt and leather buttons! The fabric is a linen/rayon blend. I know, I tend to use this fabric a LOT but it's so easy to work with and I love the vintage feel.
>Oh my, I love this new pattern. With you release it in size group B? Also, can you recommend a source for linen/rayon blend fabric.
>I sure will! It will be in both normal size packs :)I get my linen/rayon blend at Joann Fabrics. They often have sales so you can get it quite inexpensively. It's called "Sew Classic Linen Look".
>Oh wow the dress you made up is gorgeous!!! This pattern is fantastic! Great job as always!
>Amazing pattern, but I have to say, your version tops it all! It's simply perfect – those buttons, could it get any better? Nope, don't think so. Congratulations, and don't go looking too far for that excuse, just wear it any old day and be special!
>Gorgeous pattern! Too bad the sizing is a tad too small for me. It makes up into a garment that is truly lovely.
>Wow, neato! I love the patterns you choose to repro and you make them up in fabrics that would never occur to me. I wonder how View 1 would look in a flowery rayon, though I don't think I'd use their red, white and blue colors… Hmm….. One dress at a time!
>I want to see it on you!! I agree with Patricia my bust size is so much bigger then the average pattern sizes I find on-line or in antique shops. It's super cute though.
>Okay, swoon!I need a few more hours in the day so I can sew everything I want to sew!

Q: Retrieve data from MySQL database after jQuery autocomplete
I have implemented on my site the jQuery autocomplete function which works well. However, I would like to use the result from the autocomplete to retrieve the selected person's telephone number from the database.
The database structure is this;
id | name | type | tel | mobile | email | level
===============================================
1 | John Smith | judge | 01234 567890 | 07812 345678 | jsmith@example.com | BS Two Star

Here is my updated code so far
Autocomplete function
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#inputChiefJudge').autocomplete({
        source:'lookups/shows-sj-searchforjudge.php',
        change: function (event, ui) {
            $.ajax({
                type: POST,
                url: 'lookups/shows-sj-findtel.php',
                data: 'id='+ id,
                success: function(data) {
                    details = $.parseJSON(data);
                    $('#inputChiefJudge').text("hello");
                    $('#chiefjudgetel').text(details);
                },

            'label' => $row['name'] .', '. $row['level'],
            'value' => $row['name'],
            'id' => $row['id'],
        );
    }

Thanks in advance,

A: You have one issue at least in the code, which is that in getChiefJudgeContactDetails() you're mixing javascript with php. Mixing the two works fine if it's the first time you output a page and the code is on a PHP page. But if you're expecting the javascript to run PHP code every time a change event is triggered from the auto-complete, then that won't work.
Use the select event as others have stated, inside that, make a ajax request to a similar end point as your autocomplete but send it the value of your option (e.g. the ID value 2). Then use SQL in a PHP script to fetch the row for that id and return it as a json object. Parse the result and update UI in the jquery ajax call result handler.
update:
Change your autocomplete to look like this
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#inputChiefJudge').autocomplete({
        source:'lookups/shows-sj-searchforjudge.php',
        select: function (event, ui) {
            $.ajax({
                type: POST,
                url: 'lookups/shows-sj-findtel.php',
                data: {id:id},
                success: function(data) {
                    details = $.parseJSON(data);
                    $('#inputChiefJudge').text("hello");
                    $('#chiefjudgetel').text(details);
                },
            });
        },
        minLength:2});
});
</script>

Instead of using the change option of the autocomplete, use select (as stated by other answers to your question). Also, instead of using a string ("id="+id) as your data, use a js object ({id:id}). jquery will handle serializing it correctly before sending to the server, the result being that it actually shows up as a post variable in your php script.
Also, as more of a side note, I would suggest looking into using the PDO driver (http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepare.php) to access your database instead of using the mysql_* commands. It's object oriented and also automatically provides safety features that are not available in the old commands, such as prevention of SQL injection attacks.

A: You can do it in select option of autoComplete.
All you need to do is send new ajax request to get selected person number.
select: function (event, ui)
{
   //make $.ajax request and send selected value.
   //you can send selected value using => ui.item.value
}

A: You should use the "select" event of the autocomplete:
http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#event-select


The State of Children in Serbia 2006 is a report on child poverty and exclusion, and the inter-generational transmission of poverty.
The Serbian Statistical Office and UNICEF have facilitated this first Report.
In line with Serbia's international commitments, and within the framework of the World Fit for Children Declaration, the Report could become an annual and recurrent report of the Government of the Republic of Serbia.
The purpose of this year's Report is to raise awareness of the situation of children in Serbia, especially of those who live in poverty and exclusion. Combating child poverty must be the highest priority in Government since poverty leads to the violation of the rights of children and can have lifelong consequences.
This is a call for action, not to permit the exclusion of children and the transmission of poverty to the next generation.

Q: Excluding data points based on proximity in a scatterplot I am trying to create a representation of Amsterdam's channels based on a very large data set of coordinates send through AIS. As the AIS is sometimes calibrated wrong, some coordinates are not on the actual channel, but rather on urban structures. Luckily, this happens relatively few times. As a result these datapoints are not in close proximity of other data points / data point clusters. As such, I want to exlude these data points which are do not have a 'neighbour' with a margin (say 5 meters in real life) in the most pythonic way. Would anyone know how to approach this problem? My data is a simple pandas dataframe:

Q: Optimal Filter Placement in SPARQL Queries One of the optimizations performed by JenaARQ is to: "Place filters close to where their dependency variables are defined".
This causes the following Query Plan:
  (filter (exprlist (|| (|| (isIRI ?Y) (isBlank ?Y)) (!= (datatype ?Y) <http://example.com/onto/rdf#structure>)) (|| (|| (isIRI ?Z) (isBlank ?Z)) (!= (datatype ?Z) <http://example.com/onto/rdf#structure>)))
    (bgp
      (triple ?X <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#Student>)
      (triple ?Y <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#Faculty>)
      (triple ?Z <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#Course>)
      (triple ?X <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#advisor> ?Y)

      (triple ?X <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#takesCourse> ?Z)
    )))

To be transformed into the following:
  (sequence
    (filter (|| (|| (isIRI ?Z) (isBlank ?Z)) (!= (datatype ?Z) <http://example.com/onto/rdf#structure>))
      (sequence
        (filter (|| (|| (isIRI ?Y) (isBlank ?Y)) (!= (datatype ?Y) <http://example.com/onto/rdf#structure>))

            (triple ?Y <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#Faculty>)
          ))
        (bgp (triple ?Z <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#Course>))))

      (triple ?X <http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/onto/univ-bench.owl#takesCourse> ?Z)
    )))

It turns out that while the original query plan runs in milliseconds the "optimized" query plan takes about 7 hours to be concluded.
Does JenaARQ consider any statistics for optimizing the filter placement in the query plan?
I'm using Jena 3.12.0.

Q: ActiveSupport MessageVerifier InvalidSignature error handling not working as expected All,
I have a view which, onload, executes some JQuery code to populate a select_tag box:
var request = $.get("getLocalSuites");

getLocalSuites routes to the following function in the controller:
  def getLocal
    myPass = sessionPass
    if (myPass != nil)
      puts "4"
      result = @@p4object.getLocalSuites(sessionUser,myPass)
      render :json => result
    end
  end

Where sessionPass and sessionUser functions are defined:
  def sessionUser()
    myConnectedUser = ConnectedUser.find_by username: cookies[:username]
    return myConnectedUser[:username]
  end

  def sessionPass()
    begin
    myConnectedUser = ConnectedUser.find_by username: cookies[:username]
    puts "1"
    verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new(cookies[:session])
    puts "2"
    mysession = verifier.verify(myConnectedUser[:password])
    rescue ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
      puts "3"
      redirect_to sign_in_session_expired_url
    end
    puts mysession
    return mysession
  end

So in other words - my jQuery calls getLocal, which finds a username and password stored in the DB. It then verifies the returned encrypted password against a session cookie. If this verification fails, it should redirect back to the sign in page, rather than try to continue to render the current page.
The server log is correctly showing Redirected to http://localhost:3000/sign_in_session_expired ... but rather than seeing the sign in screen, the "original" view (with select_tag etc) is rendered - with the LocalSuites select_tag populated with some sort of HTML - each character as a new row: <!DOCTYPE html> <html   etc etc
Can anyone explain what I am misunderstanding here - why my redirect appears to work (according to server log) - but doesn't actually happen?
Thanks!

A: The browser is not redirected automatically, since the redirect is received within an AJAX call, and not a regular browser GET, so the browser does not handle redirects.
See this question: How to manage a redirect request after a jQuery Ajax call

I had a similar problem to yours. I perform an ajax request that has 2
  possible responses: one that redirects the browser to a new page and
  one that replaces an existing HTML form on the current page with a new
  one. The jquery code to do this looks something like:
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: reqUrl,
    data: reqBody,
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data, textStatus) {
        if (data.redirect) {
            // data.redirect contains the string URL to redirect to
            window.location.href = data.redirect;
        }
        else {
            // data.form contains the HTML for the replacement form
            $("#myform").replaceWith(data.form);
        }
    }
});

The JSON object "data" is constructed on the server to have 2 members:
  data.redirect and data.form. I found this approach to be much better.

Home // What We Do // November 2015 Policy Brief

November 2015 Policy Brief
November policy brief
This month we focus on the Government's consultation on the target for at least 90% of pupils in mainstream secondary schools to be entered for the English Baccalaureate and on the impact we believe this will have on creative education.
We also look briefly at:
Other government news: some good results in the spending review, parliamentary questions on the importance attached to creative education, the DCMS white paper, the Higher Education green paper, the revised design and technology GCSE content and - what we always knew! - that DCMS stats now prove that those doing craft find life more worthwhile!
Research findings which sadly show evidence of a weak link between arts education and academic attainment; yet how we're keen to make sense of maker spaces.
A snapshot of activity one year on, following the calls to action in the craft education manifesto, plus some further calls to action in a Canadian manifesto, the case for culture in the north east, and on the need for support for student entrepreneurship
How to respond to issues of resilience, challenge and ethics for museums
Guides on finance, and planning and culture
And last, but not least, some exciting invitations to apply for studentship awards in Doctoral Training Partnerships in which the Crafts Council is a partner
Department for Education consultation on implementing the English Baccalaureate (EBacc). Closing date 29 January 2016
The Government is inviting views on implementing the EBacc. It's not a consultation about whether or not we should have an EBacc - it's a consultation about implementation of the Government's goal that at least 90% of pupils in mainstream secondary schools should be entered for the EBacc.
The Crafts Council is concerned that these proposals may lead to a situation where pupils are discouraged from pursuing art, craft and design subjects in favour of Ebacc subjects, undermining the creative economy and weakening the wider benefits of a creative education. Other organisations, including the Cultural Learning Alliance, the Bacc for the Future campaign to reform the Ebacc and the RSA, have also been drawing attention to the consultation.
The Ebacc requires that pupils take up to eight GCSE qualifications across five subject 'pillars', that currently exclude any creative subjects. Pupils currently in year 7 will be the first cohort to be entered for EBacc GCSEs in 2020.
The consultation document makes six proposals:
the EBacc becomes the default option for all pupils, with schools able to determine the small minority of pupils for whom taking the whole EBacc is not appropriate
the proportion of pupils entering the EBacc will become a headline measure of secondary school performance (with a target of at least 90% of pupils in mainstream secondary schools entered for the EBacc)
EBacc entry and attainment will be given a more prominent role in the Ofsted inspection framework
EBacc entry and attainment data for mainstream secondary schools with similar characteristics and intakes will also be published by the government
information on pupils' EBacc Average Point Score to be published
for special/ist schools and alternative provision, data will be published on the numbers of pupils entering and achieving the EBacc but without expecting them to meet the 90% ambition.
The Crafts Council will be responding to the consultation.
The Government Spending Review
The Chancellor has said that it would be a false economy to cut the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The result of the Spending Review is a reduction in core DCMS administrative costs that will maintain funding in cash terms for museums, galleries and the arts and enable continued free access to national museums and galleries. This good news follows some very organised advocacy from the creative and cultural industries.
Slough MP Fiona Mactaggart challenges David Cameron over funding for creative subjects in schools
Labour Backbencher Fiona Mactaggart asked if the Government would seek to preserve the UK's leading performance in creative industries by protecting school funding. In reply (column 962), the Prime Minister said the Government wanted to ensure children are learning the basic subjects, then creative subjects can be put in place.
The People Challenge
DCMS has posted the third of its four challenges for debate to inform the content of a forthcoming white paper. Following posts on place and funding, this challenge invites discussion of ideas on how to make sure cultural activities a normal part of people's everyday life. We're developing our response to share soon.
Higher Education Green Paper
The Higher Education Green Paper, Fulfilling our Potential: Teaching Excellence, Social Mobility and Student Choice, was published on 6 November. The focus is on transforming a sector infrastructure designed for a largely publicly funded system to one that is focused on students and teaching, and promoting competition. The paper introduces:
the new Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)
a new Office for Students with powers for quality assessment in England.
reform of research funding and the research councils.
Revised design and technology GCSE content
The Government has published new subject content for design and technology GCSE . An improvement on earlier drafts, there is still concern that schools are less likely to favour subjects not in the EBacc pillars.
Arts participation and attendance – those doing craft find life more worthwhile!
DCMS have published their Taking Part Annual Report 2014/15. Some interesting findings:
'frequent dancing, drama and crafts activity are significant predictors of greater happiness. Those who perform music and do crafts frequently find life more worthwhile.
Participation in textile crafts, wood crafts and other crafts (calligraphy, pottery, jewellery making) have remained stable between 2005/06 and 20014/15.
Attendance at craft exhibitions has declined from 15.4% of respondents to 9.8%. (The only art forms for which attendance has increased are live music and dance.) The percentage of survey participants who have 'bought handmade crafts (pottery, jewellery)' has declined from 16% to 13.3% between 2005/06 and 20014/15.
Evidence of the impact of arts education on the cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes of school-aged children is 'weak'
The Education Endowment Foundation commissioned Durham University to examine over 200 pieces of existing academic research 'to identify the most promising ways in which learning through the arts can support disadvantaged young people to achieve key educational outcomes'. The report concludes that, though there are promising leads, at the moment there isn't enough robust evidence to be able to demonstrate a causal link between arts education and academic attainment. It finds that the wider attainment gains sometimes claimed for arts education are not as clear-cut as we might like them to be. It also concludes that the current state of the evidence-base linking arts education and attainment is weak.
Making sense of makerspaces
The RSA's new report attempts to make sense of makerspaces – why they are emerging, what impact they are having on their users and communities, and what challenges they are likely to face in the future. The report shows how the emergence of makerspaces reflects a nation increasingly enthusiastic about making, embracing a wide range of technologies and objectives in their making and championing new ways of living.
Go craft manifestos!
A year on from the launch of Our Future is in the Making, an education manifesto for craft and making, we've surveyed partners and supporters about activity in support of the manifesto. Here's a snapshot of what you told us, along with an update on what we at the Crafts Council have been doing.
The case for culture
The North East Culture Partnership has launched the Case for Culture, a fifteen year strategy that sets out five clear aspirations to deliver benefits to the region's people, places and economy.
Supporting student entrepreneurship
Christopher Haley at Nesta blogs on student entrepreneurship. His views echo calls in Our Future is in the Making on the importance of embedding entrepreneurship skills during higher education, as recommended by Lord Young in his recent report Enterprise for All.
Understanding the resilience of and challenges to Local Authority museums
ACE has funded a report on the resilience of local authority funded museums, in an era of austerity. Key messages include the need for development of an entrepreneurial culture and the importance of selecting the right business model and strategy.
Ethical sponsorship for Museums
Some museums and galleries have faced criticism for receiving funding from companies such as Shell and BP. A new Museums Association ethical code now requires scrutiny of the ethics of sponsors.
Creative industries - routes to finance
The creative Industries Federation has launched a guide to assist organisations to make money and build financial resilience, covering everything from venture capital to philanthropy and tax credits to Arts Council funding.
A-Z of Planning and Culture
London Mayor Boris Johnson has published a guide to planning and culture to protect London's cultural assets as the city grows and expands. He has voiced concern about the loss of "artist studios, music venues, pubs, theatres and other cultural spaces" in London. The A-Z sets out a strategic vision, encouraging local plans and proposing creation of special policy areas.
AHRC funding for Arts and Humanities Doctoral Research Students
The Crafts Council is a partner in two Doctoral Training Partnerships which are now inviting applications for studentships awards for the 2016/17 recruitment round:
The Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership will be awarding 410 PhD studentships over a five year period to excellent research students in the arts and humanities. The Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research (BCMCR) at Birmingham City University is inviting applications from students whose research interests include, amongst others, Creative Industries, Cultural Policy and Cultural Work. Initial expressions of interest to develop an application with BCMCR and research proposals should be sent to m3c@bcu.ac.uk before 30th November 2015, with a deadline for AHRC funding applications of 12th January 2015.
The South West and Wales Doctorial Training Partnership (SWWDTP) is inviting collaborative applications with SWW DTP partners. Where partners' research priorities/interests cross with a candidate's project proposal, there may be opportunities for candidates to build a collaborative application. The partnership would welcome applications for studentships related to craft. Enquiries should be made in the first instance to swwdtp-enquiries@bristol.ac.uk . The partnership will then alert the Crafts Council to areas of research interest that students may wish to discuss.


At the beginning of the year, we highlighted how making the move to the Cloud increases flexibility, enables collaboration, reduces risks, cuts costs and promotes scalability.
Today, we want to give you a Cloud Computing update.
A study from the International Data Corporation (IDC) recently revealed that Cloud migration is very much on the radar of the majority of South African companies. They're either migrating now, or they plan to do so in the very near future. This IDC study showed that 93% of South African companies are developing a Cloud strategy and are either in the implementation or implementation-planning phase of their Cloud journey.
"The majority of companies have virtualised and a lot of companies have already moved into the Cloud, and have Cloud plans. Only about 7% of companies have done nothing towards moving to the Cloud," said Mark Walker, associate VP sub-Saharan Africa at the recent IDC CIO Summit hosted in Johannesburg at the beginning of May.
Why are some SA companies lagging behind?
Jon Tullett, research manager for IT services at IDC SA, believes that some South African businesses have been slow to adopt Cloud due to a lack of local infrastructure, data protection concerns and conservative investment strategies.
But this is set to change. The IDC forecasts that at least one major global cloud provider will establish local data centre infrastructure to service the region in 2017.
"This will address key concerns and spur competition and adoption while putting pressure on local providers. New public cloud spend will overtake on-premise in areas such as collaborative applications, application development software and platforms, and customer relationship management (CRM)," says Tullett.
While private cloud should remain an investment priority, Tullett believes that local businesses should still be working to develop the capabilities required to move workloads into the public Cloud if/when the need arises.
At Nebula, we rely on the Cloud to provide our customers with a telecoms expense and lifecycle management solution that offers access to real-time telecoms data and provides seamless integration with existing business applications. Without Cloud, this level of availability, flexibility and reliability simply wouldn't be possible.

Primary focus on delineating the key family, school, and community processes which transmit economic and social inequality to children's and adolescents' development. Incorporate longitudinal, multi-method, and evaluation methodologies to inform social and educational policies at the local, state, and federal level. Specific research foci include: family and community poverty; housing and community development; family structure and parenting; father involvement; early childhood education; and youth health risk behaviors.
By examining how our earliest encounters with families and educational systems shape development—and how inequality affects these encounters—Rebekah Levine Coley's work speaks to researchers, students, and community members alike.
Her recent research in economic inequality builds on a career of investigating areas critical to advancing the greater good: family and community poverty; housing and community development; family structure and parenting; father involvement; early childhood education; and youth health risk behaviors.
Coley is a compelling presenter on these topics, chairs and organizes multiple symposia, and serves as principal investigator on several research grants. Her work has appeared in publications as diverse as Science and Teen Vogue.
A leader with several international professional associations, Coley was recently elected co-chair of the Policy and Communications Committee at the Society for Research in Child Development. She's also co-chair of the Social Policy Committee at the Society for Research on Adolescence and a Consulting Editor with Child Development.
Students working under her leadership know they'll encounter an environment that challenges them to get beyond "academic journals that only academics read," as Coley said in an interview. They will have and create opportunities for research that translate into real-world practice that benefits communities.

Nairobi : The death toll in a ferry capsize in Lake Victoria climbed to more than 126 on Friday, as Tanzanian rescue workers pressed on with searches to find scores of more people feared drowned.
Mwanza governor John Mongella had earlier said the number of survivors was 40, but it was unclear whether any new survivors had been found since rescue operations resumed with police and army divers on Friday morning. "Operations are continuing," he said.
State television cited witnesses reporting that more than 200 people had boarded the ferry at Bugolora, a town on the larger Ukerewe Island, where it was market day when locals said the vessel was usually packed with people and goods. "I have not heard from either my father or my younger brother who were on the ferry. They had gone to the market in Bugolora to buy a school uniform and other supplies for the new school term," said Domina Maua, who was among those seeking information about loved ones.
Davita Ngenda, an elderly woman in Ukara, had already received bad news. "My son is among the bodies recovered," she said, weeping. "He had gone with his wife but she has not been found yet. My God, what did I do to deserve this?" Sebastian John, a teacher, said such tragedies had become part of life for those living on the lake. "Since my birth, people have gone to their deaths on this lake, but what are we to do? We did not choose to be born here, we have nowhere to go," he said.
It remains unclear how many people are still missing. Tanzania's Electrical, Mechanical and Services Agency, which is responsible for ferry services, said it was unknown how many passengers were aboard the MV Nyerere. The ageing ferry, whose hull and propellers were all that remained visible after it overturned, was also carrying cargo, including sacks of maize, bananas and cement, when it capsized around 50 metres from Ukara dock.
In 2011, an overcrowded ferry carrying over 800 sank off the coast of the semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar, killing 187.
In 2012, another overcrowded vessel transporting people from the same island sank and killed 145.
In 1996, a ferry disaster on Lake Victoria killed at least 800 people in one of the worst ferry accidents in the last century.
