The DAP-3310 is a low cost outdoor Single Band Wireless Access Point with PoE Pass-Through. Ideal for expanding the coverage and signal strength of any wireless network. Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-3310 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined physically using traditional medium.
The DAP-3310 Wireless N PoE Outdoor Access Point with PoE Pass-Through is the ideal solution for expanding the coverage and signal strength of any wireless network. Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-3310 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined physically using traditional medium. Multiple operating modes, network management tools, and security features gives network administrators a wide range of choices for deploying the device, allowing for the addition of increased connectivity to wireless network-enabled devices.
Expand current wireless network capacity with the latest 2.4 GHz 802.11n wireless connectivity. In addition, two 10/100 Ethernet ports (one supporting PoE) allow for further physical expansion using traditional wired medium. The built-in 10 dBi sector antenna has a high power output5 ensuring that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations. Whether you want to connect additional wireless devices such as smartphones or laptops, or bringing connectivity to networks separated by short distances, the DAP-3310 has it all covered.
The DAP-3310 features seven multiple operation modes, allowing it to adapt to any situation. As a standard wireless access point (AP) the DAP-3310 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11n/g/b compliant. In wireless distribution system (WDS) mode it can expand current wireless coverage without the need for a wired backbone link*. As a wireless client it can connect to an existing AP and expand the network physically with the two built-in 10/100 Ethernet ports. Repeater mode will extend current wireless coverage eliminating dead spots and weak signals. WISP mode functionality includes the ability to function as a client or repeater.
Fine-Tuned Control Over Network Resources.
The DAP-3310 supports up to 8 SSIDs, allowing the administrators to logically divide the access point into several virtual access points all within a single hardware platform. Rather than having separate networks with several access points, administrators can deploy one single AP to support more than one application, such as public Internet access and internal network control to increase flexibility and keep costs down. The DAP-3310 supports 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, operating with multiple SSIDs to segment traffic to enhance performance and security. The DAP-3310 provides WLAN partitioning, a useful function for deployments such as wireless hot spots. With station-to-station partitioning enabled, security is enhanced, as wireless users cannot see each other, and the possibility for data theft is greatly reduced.
The DAP-3310 supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and WPA/WPA2 security functions. In addition, it provides MAC Address Filtering to control user access, and the Disable SSID Broadcast function to limit outsiders' access to the internal network. Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-3310 including HTTP and HTTPS. For advanced network management, administrators can use SNMPv1, v2c, v3 to configure and manage access points.
The DAP-3310 is powered by PoE** which allows for convenient installation, especially in places where a power supply is not reliable or power cables are not available or easily set up. Also, the DAP-3310 can supply power to a connected D-Link surveillance camera through PoE, including the DCS-3716, DCS-6113, and DCS-7110 cameras.
** Maximum power output varies in each country depending on local power regulations.

Blue Hill has two big business clusters. Two groups are trying to connect them.
by Nick Sambides Jr. November 24, 2018 Updated November 26, 2018
A Blue Hill-based organization wants to extend this sidewalk on South Street in Blue Hill and build another on the opposite side to make the area safer.
BLUE HILL, Maine — A Maine town wants to make it easier for pedestrians to travel the 1½ miles between downtown and South Street, where there are a growing cluster of retail shops.
Blue Hill is in the running for a $500,000 grant to lengthen South Street's sidewalks, said John Burns, a member of the board of directors of Blue Hill Community Development. Meanwhile, the Blue Hill Heritage Trust is seeking to raise more than $60,000 to upgrade its existing Parker Point-South Street trail and extend it north to Tenney Hill Road, an area of downtown near the town library, said George Fields, the trust's associate director.

Better connecting South Street's two schools, supermarket, pharmacy and fitness center to downtown's harbor, post office, hardware store and nearby George Stevens Academy will make South Street safer by getting pedestrians out of the street, Burns said.
"It is pretty well known that people drive faster than they should on South Street," Burns said Friday.
Burns co-wrote the $500,000 grant application with Blue Hill residents including Scott Miller, Jennifer Traub, Amy Visentin and Cheryl Boulet.

"One of the things I really love about this plan is that it could be an enticement to the community and also to invite summer visitors to walk a beautiful trail from downtown to commercial places on South Street," Burns said. "It adds more charm to a town that is already incredibly charming. It creates separations between pedestrians and vehicles, and it gets people briefly out in nature."
A volunteer economic development agency, Blue Hill Community Development members wrote the $500,000 bicycle and pedestrian grant. Under its terms, the Maine Department of Transportation would award $400,000 in federal funds, and the town of Blue Hill would add $100,000.
The money would pay for new sidewalks and road shoulders from the traffic circle on South Street near First National Bank southward to The Bay School, an independent pre-K-8 Waldorf school, and Blue Hill Harbor School, according to a 27-page grant application filed by the development group.
The director of Bay School, Marcia Diamond, said the increase in development in the area and the road's vehicle traffic make sidewalks necessary.
"Although we allow the older students (with parent permission) to walk to their next location, we don't encourage it. We think it is risky for our students to be out on South Street," Diamond wrote in a July 2018 letter supporting the project.
[Blue Hill Co-op prepares to leave downtown next year]
Blue Hill Heritage Trust is seeking a $32,000 recreational trail grant from the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands for work on its existing Parker Point-South Street trail, which can be accessed from South Street. In addition, the trust has already received $9,900 from AARP and seeks to raise another $10,000 as part of its participation in the AARP grant program to create the trail extension to Tenney Hill Road, said George Fields, the trust's associate director. The organization has already raised $10,000 for that work from a private donor.
As of last week, the trust owned 5,578 acres on the Blue Hill Peninsula and held conservation easements on another 3,633 acres, Fields said.
The existing trail, which ends downtown near Northern Light Blue Hill Memorial Hospital, is a largely wooded area, rocky and studded with rock walls and bluffs, Burns said.

Freedom and Flourishing: Does homeostasis explain the stability of life satisfaction in high income countries?
Does homeostasis explain the stability of life satisfaction in high income countries?
The theory of subjective well-being homeostasis proposes that life satisfaction is controlled by automatic neurological processes in a manner analogous to the maintenance of body temperature. The theory has been proposed by Professor Robert Cummins of the Australian Centre on Quality of Life (ACQOL), Deakin University. The basic idea is that positive and negative experiences can cause temporary changes in life satisfaction, but homeostasis normally brings it back within a set-point range. The exception occurs where chronic failure of the homeostatic system results in depression.
resilience tends to restore life satisfaction to the set-point range following strong negative challenges.
Resilience depends on external resources, particularly intimate relationships and wealth, and internal buffers designed to minimise the impact of personal failure on positive feelings about the self. The internal buffers can operate at an unconscious level - e.g. assisting an individual to cope by enabling positive emotions to become accessible. They also operate at a conscious level by altering the way individuals see themselves in relation to the challenge (e.g. denying personal responsibility or viewing the failure as unimportant).
The distinguishing feature of the homeostasis theory is not the existence of adaptation and resilience – which are widely acknowledged in the happiness research literature – but the idea that these processes tend to restore emotional systems to unique set-points for each individual.
When I first read about homeostasis theory, a few years ago, evidence that some individuals experience long-term changes in life satisfaction seemed inconsistent with the idea of constant individual set-points. However, as Bob Cummins has pointed out, changes in life satisfaction do not necessarily imply change in an individual's set-point (or homeostatically protected mood). If initial measurements of life satisfaction are higher than, or lower than, the set-point, then subsequent measurements can be expected to show a return to the set-point range.
My remaining doubts about homeostasis theory centre mainly around the question of how it can be reconciled with the international evidence of lower average life satisfaction in low-income countries. I find it hard to accept that a high proportion of the people in low-income countries who claim to have relatively low levels of satisfaction with their lives are suffering failure of their homeostatic systems. In some low-income countries, e.g. China, relatively low average life satisfaction seems to be accompanied by relatively high positive affect and relatively low negative affect.
Perhaps set-point ranges remain constant – if we think in terms of hypothetical neural correlates – but the relationship between set-point ranges and life satisfaction scales may change with changes in perceptions of what might be possible. As discussed in a recent post, individuals who move from a remote village to a major city might feel that their lives have improved, even though they become less contented with their living standards after moving to the new location. Does that mean they have become more vulnerable to homeostatic breakdown? I am not qualified to make informed predictions in relation to such matters, but my guess is that there would not be an increased risk of breakdown if the people concerned remain optimistic about their prospects in the city and retain the option to return to the village for family support if they need it.
The predictions of homeostasis theory seem to stand up well to tests that have been conducted so far. For example, homeostasis theory predicts that there will be greater variation in subjective well-being among people with low incomes than among people with high incomes. This is because people with low incomes (or low wealth) are more vulnerable to changes in circumstances. Analysis using data from the Australian Unity Wellbeing Index indicates that the standard deviation of subjective well-being is indeed substantially higher for people with relatively incomes, and declines as household incomes rise to around $100,000.
Homeostasis theory seems to provide a more plausible explanation for the stability of average life satisfaction in high-income countries than a rival theory, advanced by some economists, that this stability reflects evaluative judgements of life by the people in those countries. Evidence that life satisfaction is influenced by genes, and strongly related to self-esteem, optimism and feelings of being in control of one's life, suggests that it is more appropriately interpreted as reflecting the moods (or frames of mind) of respondents than evaluative judgements.
Researchers who want subjective well-being measures to reflect evaluative judgements that individuals make about the quality of their lives should consider an approach which requires greater cognitive inputs e.g. the ACSA question which asks people to assess their current well-being relative to the best and worst periods of their lives.

I'm Ash, my friend got me into RC years ago when he was working on his game and I picked up CE a fair few years back. For some reason my copy stopped working when I went back to try it a few months back and with the CE website down I hadn't had much luck. But nice to find an active community. Def want to pick RC up and play around again!
thanks getting memory access violation when i try to test it? Am i doing something wrong?
That's strange, I have just downloaded this version to test it again and it works fine for me?
could you detail what you have done exactly please?
If I remember correct, CE has a bug where if you don't have a water plane in the zone then you'll get a MAV. Does the zone you're trying test have a water plane?

Home Veterans The California Mystery Missle
The California Mystery Missle
An epic American failure
Gordon Duff
The submarine launch of an ICBM off the California coast on November 8 is a milestone in American history. The immediate denials that it was an American test were a public relations disaster.
America's government does little but lie to its people, 9/11, Osama bin Laden, we could go on forever. In fact, nothing coming out of Washington or the press is remotely credible and it has finally been proven. This is a private confirmation we received:
REDACTED: Finally, there is something that has occurred, in which I am actually an expert and qualified to give a real answer. I am a retired U.S. Navy Fire Control Technician, who is platform certified in missile systems XXXXXXXXX, I have also worked with the Navy's Harpoon, Tomahawk and ASROC missile systems. Anyway, what I saw in the recent video concerning the object 30 miles off the coast of CA is blatantly a foreign-made, Large Cruise or ICBM missile, being launched by a sub-surface aquatic platform.
First I know its a large missile because it did not exhibit the typical "corkscrewing" trajectory of a beam riding missile as it tries to acquire the targeting beam. This tells me its a Big Boy with a complete guidance system installed in it, what is nicknamed a "fire and forget" missile, as once its launched its internal guidance system takes over and there is no real need for external guidance.
I'm fairly confident it's not one of ours, as the vapor trail appears "dirty" it looks brownish. I have personally been involved in (5) SM2 missile launches, and (2) ASROC missile launches, and have been on safety observation for at least 15 more launches of Harpoons, Tomahawks and other missiles. We put a lot of sweat and money into our "birds" and part of that is the fuel cells, they burn very clean, a whitish-blue in fact, not a dirty blackish brown. That missile had rather crude fuel cells, which tells me its not one of ours.
A submarine comes approaches America's heavily guarded coast, through a network of defenses costing billions, and launches an ICBM capable of carrying up to 10 hydrogen bombs, launches the missile 2 minutes from Los Angeles, and we are utterly unaware? This is the same military we trust our children's lives?
This is the same military that spent 9 years hunting for Osama bin Laden, knowing he was dead, hundreds of millions of dollars, endless lives lost, all over a lie. Keeping bin Laden's death secret is a deception not unlike the phony Yemen bomb scare and the "crotch bomber" last Christmas, "third rate boogeyman" ploys to justify wasted money and airport passenger abuse.
This is the same military that killed 5000 Americans in Iraq over more lies, always known to be lies. Behind the flag-waving and patriotic blithering is a pack of greedy incompetents, many religious extremists, most up to their necks in right-wing politics and too many willing to send us to war for their own personal reasons. A patriot wouldn't last 5 minutes in America's military.
They would tear the place down around them, screaming "thieves, liars and cowards" as they did it. This, however, this last insult, is just too much. The America people expected a decent lie. It is now nearly 10 days later and the military believes they can simply put their pointy little heads in the sand and the rest of us can go to hell? Not hardly!
Laid bare is the level of post-Cold War leadership in the Pentagon, accustomed to wasting money, fabricating war news and trying to lie their way to empty victory in wars without plan or purpose, long proven unwinnable.
Wayne Madsen, says the missile was fired from a Chinese submarine. Madsen has a fairly good track record on such things. There are 5 nations, all permanent members of the UN Security Council, that have such capabilities. (India soon) Madsen's claim that China launched the missile just prior to announcing the lowering of America's credit rating from A+ to AA, just above "junk bonds" is part of the story and certainly explains the timing. America's ability to play world bully with someone else's money is at an end.
However, it is more than economics, the move by the Federal Reserve to buy up its own debt, a shady currency manipulation aimed at China, or the push to continue the Bush-era "free ride" tax breaks, all make America an unreliable investment. There are 5000 criminals in Wall Street that, if they lived in China, would have gotten a bullet in the brain. Instead, America gave them 2 trillion dollars it borrowed from China and jailed poor old Bernie Madoff. There are other reasons for China to mistrust America, a nation they clearly see as under the control of gangsters and extremists.
Thus the warning.
IS IT REALLY CHINA?
There is only one reason that the United States didn't announce the usual "weather balloon" or "box cutters" cover stories. It means that the nation responsible, assuming it is China, warned us that they would go public and that the American military had to live with the humiliation as a punishment.
There is no other explanation. There also is no other "suspect" than China, who has the interests in the Pacific region, the technical capability and the complex "love-hate" relationship with the United States. China finances America's debt, they are our largest trading partner, certainly our primary business partner in the world today in every way and are still continually presented to the American people as an enemy. Our homes are filled with Chinese products, without China, our local Walmarts would stand empty.
Assuming China, and without a denial from the Pentagon, we must assume China, what could the United States have done to push them this far? Is China telling the United States that we are 'mad dogs' ready to be "put down?"
WHO IS CHINA?
America's ignorance of history will continue to assure that America remains a victim of history's lessons. China forgets nothing.
The Opium Wars of the 19th century were an announcement to the world that China was open for business, not trade, certainly not development but for crime and exploitation at the hands of the colonial powers of Europe, Russia, and Japan. Over the next half-decade, culminating in the Boxer Rebellion, China was carved up, a piece at a time, humiliated and crushed. Nobody stood up for China, nobody but the United States. American missionaries were in every region of China, running schools, orphanages and earning the trust and affection of the Chinese people. It is one of those bright spots in American history.
McKinley's Secretary of State, John Hay sided with China against the ravages of the colonial powers with his Open Door circulars. America's policy toward China was one of open and free trade, something impossible under the system of "treaty ports" and "externality" being used to subjugate China into a checkerboard of "interest zones."
China learned to hate the west but not America. Americans were raised on the books of Pearl Buck who presented the countless generations of suffering and perseverance of the Chinese people in an idyllic manner. These were the books I read as a child, before that, read by my mother, who grew up with them in a coal mining camp in Kentucky. Millions of Americans knew more of China than they did their own country, felt a bond, a kinship and a partnership of spirit.
With the Japanese invasion and its endless atrocities, America was divided on China. Franklin Roosevelt and the majority of the American people sided with China. Wall Street and the oil companies sided with Japan and kept sending oil, scrap metal and other vital resources which allowed Japan to build a military machine to control, not only China but huge portions of the Pacific as well. This would lead to a period of unpleasantness between Japan and the United States culminating with the incineration of most of Japan's cities.
Every child in China is taught about the AVG, the American Volunteer Group, the "Flying Tigers." American pilots, under the leadership of General Claire Lee Chennault, provided the only resistance to Japanese bombing attacks on Chinese cities. To the Chinese, Americans are heroes who stood by China during its darkest hour. Ask any American who travels to China.
Describing the tumultuous period of Chinese history during the 20s and 30s is a task best left elsewhere. Suffice it to say, the struggle between the Nationalists under Chiang kai-shek and the communist forces under Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai are filled with twists and turns. During the 1920s, they were forced to work together for awhile but Chiang turned on the communists who escaped his trap in what is now called "the Long March." Later, when America entered the war, the Nationalists and communists joined forces under the supervision of American General Joseph Stillwell.
It is noted that the communists under Mao made far better allies than Chiang's nationalists. A recommended read on this is Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China.
With the advent of the Cold War and American misconceptions about the nature of Soviet and Chinese communism, America chose the disastrous policy of supporting the hopeless Nationalist cause and, eventually, a direct military confrontation with a fully communist China during the Korean war. China could just as easily have been an American ally against the Soviets, even with its communist government, if it weren't for the McCarthy witch hunt and the leadership failures of the Truman administration, some being deeply paralleled by President Obama today.
China had never been America's enemy. It took "ping pong diplomacy" and Richard Nixon to restore balance and sanity to American policy after decades of childish blithering about the menace of "Red China," an imaginary threat, being continually harped on by neo-cons even today, whenever the public tires of the fictions about Islamic extremism.
Today, China's friendship for America is all that is keeping the United States afloat.
IS AMERICA A "RABID DOG?"
China, once a country where, in famine years, baby girls were abandoned in fields to die, is now the richest country in the world. Where millions had starved each year, Chinese tourists can now be seen anywhere in the world. Their progress is a marvel and one of the greatest success stories in the history of mankind. China's government is a hybrid of privatization and communism, ruled by a "technocracy" that manages the economy and maintains an unaligned position in world affairs.
China's policies are based on both the security of its borders and people and the assurance of access to natural resources, oil, and minerals in particular, without which China's "bubble" might well burst.
America, on the other hand, seems to be moving backward, hopelessly in debt, continually embroiled in military adventures and clearly a failed democracy at home, moving inexorably toward totalitarianism and extremism. Sound far fetched? This is how the world sees America, not just the Islamic world but Canada, Britain, Western Europe, and Russia. The question now, does China see America as a threat, a "rabid dog?" Are America's adventures in the Middle East and South Asia, which have killed hundreds of thousands, maybe more, a threat to China?
IRAN AND PAKISTAN
China and the world have seen Iraq and Afghanistan destroyed. They are watching Pakistan be destroyed by an American policy that can have no purpose other than to see Pakistan dismembered and crushed. America's covert war against Pakistan, a nation that has been an American ally since its inception, is a senseless policy. Now, with the "sea change" toward increased Israeli influence in America's government, the onset of the new extremist "Tea Party" wing of "Israeli firsters," an attack on Iran, one of China's closest allies and largest suppliers of crude oil, is expected at any time.
China has no doubts that America, as it is currently "misgoverned," stands ready to do anything as a pretense for war even though its last two military adventures are both "unresolved," a generous term for "failed."
It is also clear to China and others that America's ruling cabal, calling it a government is a certain misnomer, no longer functions in the national interest. If the Chinese missile launch, providing it was the Chinese, was a warning of something, it was a warning based on this knowledge.
"If America can't be trusted to take care of its own people and exercise its position as a world superpower with sensibility and restraint, "there's a new sheriff in town."

June 19, World…
Today June 19, has been set aside for the celebration of World Sickle cell day. But really is there anything to celebrate? What does Sickle cell really mean to the rest of the World? How many people, especially here in Nigeria know their genotypes? Even those who know their genotypes, how many really make a conscious effort to know more about genotype pairing for the sake of marriage and birthing children?
Even some of you educated and should know better, how many have created awareness of sickle cell disease just in their own corner of the world?
Currently Nigerian has the largest number of people living with sickle cell disease. And until we start making conscious effort to reduce this number through creating awareness we will still hold this unenviable title in years to come.
The Sickle Cell Support Network, an NGO, says Nigeria records about 150,000 sickle cell births annually but 75 per cent of this number never get to see their fifth birthday.
The President of the group, Dr. Deborah Onokpono, made this known on Wednesday in Calabar as part of efforts to sensitise people about sickle cell condition.
She said: "Sickle is a medical condition and not inflicted upon us by one spiritual force or deity, people are born with it and it is not contagious but inherited.''
Onokpono said though we have what we call bone marrow transplant, which gives a patient a 50:50 survival chance, the condition had no cure yet.
She advised those who were about getting married to know their genotype and that of their spouses to be, as prevention was the best way to control sickle cell.
"Sickle cell is preventable if people with the AS genotype do not get married to spouses who also have the AS genotype," she said.
She noted that the awareness is still low in Nigeria when you compare it to HIV and stigmatization is high as the victims are seen as people who would die soon.
Similarly, a haematologist, Dr Ufon Esien, said the condition is prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, so countries around this region should enhance the awareness of the condition among their citizens.
"Children with sickle cell normally had hand and foot syndrome, joint pains as they grew older, they may also have kidney problems, acute chest syndrome and even anaemia, these conditions were not curable but manageable,'' the expert said.
Dr Esien however advised parents not to begin with analgesics that were highly addictive because the sickle cell patient may become addicted and that would take a difficult and long process to remedy.
Also, the President of the Medical Women Association of Nigeria, Cross River chapter, Dr Jacinta Okoi-Obuli, said they came to let people know that there was nothing to be ashamed of if someone had sickle cell.
"Sickle cell is not something to be ashamed of because we have doctors and other professionals who have the condition but have succeeded in different spheres of life," she said.
She added that MWAN was partnering with different laboratories in the state, so, they could simply take blood samples of people that wanted to know their genotype and provide credible results.
She advised people who wanted to check their genotype to find out the credibility of the laboratory as there were many quacks around.
"We have cases where people have done their genotype in three different labs and have three different results and they go ahead to get married only to give birth to children with sickle cell," she said.
She stated that the notion that love was blind was no longer tenable, and advised would be couples to endeavour to know their genotype to prevent a future of pain.
On his part, the President, Association of Resident Doctors, Cross River chapter, Dr Antigua Cobham, called on the Federal Government to invest in researches to discover a cure for sickle cell.
He noted that sickle cell was more in the tropics as Nigeria had the highest number of people living with sickle cell in the world while Cross River had the highest number of carriers in Nigeria.
"We must not always wait for the white man to carry out researches for us, this is more our problem now than theirs.
"Nigeria has the highest number of persons living with the condition in the world and Cross Rivers has the largest number of people with this problem in Nigeria," he said.
Responding, Dr Inyang Achibong, the state Commissioner for Health, who was represented by Mrs Magdalene Nka, Director Medical Laboratory Services, Ministry of Health, said the state government was aware of the high rate of sickle cell in the state.
She said the idea of having a sickle cell centre in the state was not a bad one as such centre would subsidise the cost of the tests or even make it free.
"Now that the awareness is increasing, there could be policies made because looking at our policies, there is nothing specific about sickle cell, it is just general health, we can start looking into this as the awareness is growing,'' she said
She added that medical personnel should know that when they saw a carrier, they would have to give their all, both love and expertise, as the victims did not make themselves that way but were born into it.
it was reported that the world Sickle Cell Day is marked annually on June 19.
This year's theme is "Sickle Cell: Past, Present and Future''.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Announces He's Quitting The 'Celebrity Apprentince' – Says It's Because Of Trump
by Nii Smiley Byte, Managing Editor
Arnold Schwarzenegger just completed his first year as host of the New Celebrity Apprentice but, according to the legendary actor, he's not going to be back for a second.
Schwarzenegger has announced that this season would be his last, and his reason is quite straightforward – Donald Trump is the cause.
The US President hosted the show for decades before leaving for politics, but he has constantly been feuding with Schwarzenegger ever since the latter took over, even though he still serves as one of the show's Executive Producers.
Schwarzenegger acknowledges the feuds, but notes that Trump's association with the show keeps hurting it and thus, has led to his decision.
"I loved every second of working with NBC and Mark Burnett. Everyone – from the celebrities to the crew to the marketing department – was a straight 10, and I would absolutely work with all of them again on a show that doesn't have this baggage," Schwarzenegger told CNN on his decision to leave.
"NBC did everything they could to promote the show and [producer] Mark Burnett did a fantastic job. No one really knew that this was going to happen and I think that everyone was caught off guard…" he elaborated in a later interview.
"When people found out that Trump was still involved as executive producer and was still receiving money from the show, then half the people [started] boycotting it.
"Even if asked [to return] I would decline." Schwarzenegger added. "With Trump being involved in the show people have a bad taste and don't want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show. It's a very divisive period now and I think this show got caught up in all that division."

The Hippie Trail: The Legacy Of The Asia Overland Route
By: Mark Johanson
Ken Klein left Philadelphia in 1973 with the $800 he'd saved from his bar mitzvah. He wanted to see the world but ran out of money in Istanbul and went back to the United States to work in telephone sales with the goal of raising $5,000 and buying a one-way ticket back to Europe. A year later, at the age of 24, he set out east from Istanbul along the overland route through Asia. Five years later, still in Asia, he proposed to his Dutch traveling companion, Marjon. They wed on Jan. 1, 1979, in Kathmandu, Nepal. The "hippie trail," he said, changed his life.
Like Ken, thousands of rebellious Europeans, Americans and Aussies in the 1960s and 1970s threw caution to the wind and traded their suburban upbringings for sarongs, sandals and the allure of the East, marching along the overland route on a journey that would forever alter the course of history.
Jack Kerouac, father of the Beats and grandfather of the hippies, may have had something to do with it. He published "On the Road" in 1957, inspiring a generation to hit the road on a journey of self-discovery. Then Beat poet Allen Ginsberg moved to Varanasi, India, in 1962, heralding the wonders of Eastern philosophy and calling it "my promised land" and "a new earth."
Soon, The Beatles were in Rishikesh, India, with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Cat Stevens — who would become Yusuf Islam — was in Kathmandu. Dylan said the times were a-changing, Peter, Paul and Mary were leaving on a jet plane, and Ray Charles told a generation to hit the road and don't come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
The seed was planted, and the overland route through Asia quickly became the journey of a generation.
The Hippie Trail
There were fashionable precedents for the pilgrimage. Coming out of the conformist 1950s, the hippie movement galvanized youth in the United States and quickly spread through Europe all the way to Australasia. Its fundamental ethos — communal living, harmony with nature, experimentation and recreation drug use — found an ideal match in the East.
The hippies cut ties with their jobs and rejected materialism and money. Their objective was to know themselves, and the deep spirituality of the East provided the perfect outlet for self-discovery.
"Previously, people had been somewhat fearful of the unknown: the unknown cultures, food, people, and customs. But the hippies put themselves into situations where they could only experience the unknown. It was almost a grounded form of astral travel," said Dr. Robert Muller, who received his PhD in sociology at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia. He's done research in the field of global trends as a sociologist since 1993 and maintains several blogs about hippie culture.
"The 'overlanders' changed perceptions of travel to one of people being able to take their adventures into their own hands and see, and more importantly, to experience life on their own terms, and to their own guidelines," Muller said.
Generally, the term "hippie trail" describes a popular, though varied, route through parts of Asia from the edge of Europe to India and Nepal. For many, Istanbul, Turkey was the starting point and Goa, India, or Kathmandu, Nepal, was the end, depending on the season. Aussies and New Zealanders began their route in Bali, Indonesia, and worked their way across in the opposite direction, but the idea was the same.
It was part Silk Road and part caravan tracks, but it became a cultural freeway.
Inspired by the British overland scientific expeditions of the mid-1950s, the Indiaman Bus Company, established in 1957, is considered the first commercial operator to have carried passengers to Bombay (Mumbai) and back from its location in Kings Cross, London. Swagman Tours (dubbed the Asian Greyhound) and Magic Bus were among other operations that soon followed, arranging buses from various points in Europe for the wild roads of the "mystic East" through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and into India and Nepal. These buses shared the road with a motley crew of private cars, vans and minibuses, many of which puttered out amid the scorching deserts and high-altitude mountain passes of the over 12,000-mile round-trip journey.
"Overlanders," as they were known, spent months, even years on the trail. Some of these latter-day Marco Polos sought adventure and spiritual enlightenment. Others sought drugs and an escape. Whatever the reason, their journey through Asia was one for the history books.

The realignment of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center New Orleans involves more than just a name change. It means increased economic development, high-tech jobs, and a more stable future for the Navy's information technology hub on the south shore of New Orleans' Lake Ponchartrain.
SSC New Orleans, the anchor tenant at the University of New Orleans Research and Technology Park, merged with SSC Charleston and SSC Norfolk to become SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic.
In a ceremony held at the facility Sept. 29, the outgoing commanding officer Capt. Mark Krause disestablished the New Orleans organization before an audience of employees, media and invited guests.
Krause addressed the New Orleans workforce during his portion of the SSC Atlantic commissioning ceremony video teleconference. He spoke about the opportunities that the merger with SSC Charleston and Norfolk will have for the New Orleans-based organization and about the skills and talents that the workforce brings to the table. Krause will serve as the SSC Atlantic Chief of Staff until his retirement in the spring of 2009.
The commanding officer of SSC Atlantic, Capt. Bruce Urbon, will reside at the headquarters based in Charleston, S.C. The New Orleans office will be led by Jackie Goff, the SSC Atlantic deputy technical director serving as the liaison between the New Orleans office and the SSC Atlantic headquarters.
With the merger, the New Orleans office will collaborate with SSC Atlantic to work on technology-based projects for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
With the continued success of SSC Atlantic guaranteed, the number of jobs is expected to increase in the New Orleans office, currently at 435 employees.
The New Orleans staff will collaborate with personnel from Norfolk and Charleston on the VA's high profile Chapter 33 project to accommodate increased educational benefits under the newly signed GI Bill.
The VA work performed in New Orleans "will be a great improvement to our veterans' education benefits and medical services. We are joining forces with our local universities and industry partners to identify the talent levels we will need to support our high-tech expansion," said Lt. Chris Galliano, the New Orleans director of corporate operations.
The main pillar of New Orleans' success is in the cutting edge shared services virtual computer hosting environment which has seen major growth since its post-Katrina rebuild.
The New Orleans office is also a government lead in data integration and service oriented architecture and boasts the largest quality of life customer support center help desk in the Navy serving more than 538,000 active and Reserve members on pay and personnel issues, and other quality of life programs.

What's the weather like in Calas de Mallorca in March?
Calas de Mallorca weather in March is lovely with rising temperatures and less rain than the winter months. You'll get to enjoy the warmer side of Majorca's Mediterranean weather with plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies.
March sees a steady temperature increase towards the end of the month, with warmer days and milder nights becoming more common as high season approaches. The resort's location on the largest Balearic Island means it sees a traditional Mediterranean climate with constant warmth and sunshine.
You'll have 12 hours of lovely sunshine per day in March with an average humidity of 75%. During the day, you can relax on the golden beaches along the coast with average temperatures reaching up to 18°C. At night, you may see a significant drop to around 12°C. The resort receives an average of 20mm of rainfall over eight rainy days of the month. Wind speeds can reach up to 12mph towards the coast, which often provides a pleasant breeze during peak times of the day.


Khakassia, a southern Siberian land, welcomes travelers that enjoy immersion in local cultures, traditions and atmosphere. Come here to find rare cave paintings, celebrate New Year's in spring and taste the slightly pungent taste of ayran on your tongue.
One of Siberia's most picturesque roads, the Yenisei (Road P257), stretches from Krasnoyarsk to Abakan, the capital of Khakassia and continues to the Russian-Mongolian border. If you drive slowly you can feel the quiet, calming breath of the huge Siberian steppe. Once you open the window, the car will be filled with the dry and fragrant scent of herbs, honey flowers and thyme that hide between the rocks.
Visiting Khakassia is like receiving a holographic postcard from an enigmatic land where flat objects gain volume if you look at them from certain angles and simple things become full of mystery and meaning. As you look into the distance, instead of a flat surface, which is considered typical for steppes, you'll see a three-dimensional landscape with hills carving the horizon, like woolly camels' humps and the bright ocher of stones replaced by green wild herbs and yellow feather grass.
Travelers come here to see the remains of ancient cultures, as the region counts more than 1,000 age-old steles, tombstones and petroglyphs. The neolithic carvings of Boyarskaya Pisanitsa, which depict ancient settlements with yurt-like constructions, scenes of livestock farming and food preparation, are a rare landmark for Eurasia.
The locals' preferred destination for weekend trips is the Bolshoy Salbyksky burial mound and the Sunduki Mountain range. The range consists of five mountains that resemble five sleeping giants. Once upon a time they once served as a natural observatory: Rocks, openings and holes functioned as a sun clock, while the mountain tops were used – and are still used – for shamanic rituals.
"Once we decided to spend the night on the top of the first mountain to take photos of the stars and the rising sun. The night was over in no time and the sunrise was majestic. The view from the top extended for many miles in all directions. At night a local guard was telling us his stories by the fire. Then a thunderstorm struck. We woke to the sounds of a shaman's drum and throat singing: somebody was performing rites on one of the mountain tops."
Shamanism is still alive in Khakassia. As you drive through you can see rocks or trees by the road with colored atlas ribbons tied to them. If you try to put something in your pocket to remind you of the steppe, such as a pebble or some herbs, locals will ask you to put it back, as they consider every tiny element of nature to be sacred and to possess special powers.
Lev Gumilev, the well-known Russian author and cultural geographer, wrote that everything we see has an ethnicity to it. Similarly, a trip to Khakassia is a quest for a well-preserved local ethnic identity. The Khakassian calendar is a good place to start.
The spring equinox, Chyl Pazy, is one of Khakassia's most celebrated holidays. Major festivities take place in Abakan, the regional capital. It is the Khakassian New Year. On this day, the capital is full of people from villages and small towns, who set up yurts in the main square, cook traditional dishes and sing songs in their native language.
When nomads start moving livestock to summer pastures, it is time for Tun Pairam, the feast of the first ayran, a sour dairy drink made from cow's milk. Festive activities of the holiday include charys (Khakassian horse racing), storytelling contests, and traditional costume and archery competitions.
The cuisine of Khakassia is probably one of the most conservative elements of the local culture. Traditional clothes are replaced by modern ones, old languages are forgotten and old gods are abandoned, but traditional recipes are passed on from one generation to another. Local meat delicacies are definitely worth your attention, as Khakassia has been a land of livestock farmers for many centuries. Abakan shops sell khyyma, sausage from chopped beef and horsemeat, and if you eat out remember to order mun, boiled mutton with broth, or kyoptirges, an unsalted flatbread traditionally baked on stones in a yurt.
As for traditional Khakassian drinks, you should try ayran. "Ayran is the key to good health," say Khakassians. Nomad-style tea with milk is not as popular here as in Tuva, but the locals often drink herbal infusions of black currant and lingonberry leaves, with rosehip and thyme, which is called "irben" in Khakassian. In the olden days such tea was served with oreme, boiled milk foam with ground bird cherries, which was prepared on special occasions. Today oreme is made from sour cream and you can taste it in local cafes.

George Gresham | 2/4/2016, 10:57 a.m.
During African-American History Month, we are reminded that the struggles and victories of people of African descent are central to our nation's progress. Every step on our long journey to equality has benefited the nation as a whole.
Before the end of the Civil War, for example, not one Southern state had a universal state-supported public education system. After emancipation, the short-lived Freedmen's Bureau, established by the federal government to aid former slaves, made it possible for poor whites to attend school for the first time.
Later, although most union organizing drives in the South failed to convince white workers to join hands with African-Americans, the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, a multiracial union of sharecroppers, tenant farmers and small landowners founded in 1934, was able to make important gains.
After the Great Migration, many African-Americans worked in industries such as steel, auto, shipbuilding, meatpacking and longshore. They helped organize workers into the Congress of Industrial Organization unions. The CIO thrived precisely because it organized the entire workforces regardless of race or ethnicity and mobilized significant support in the Black community. Leaders such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson and Eleanor Roosevelt championed the CIO.
But the CIO's hey-day began to come to an end in 1946 with the onslaught of McCarthyism, which ostensibly sought to uncover communists and radicals in the U.S. It's true aim was to weaken the progressive movement and tear apart the coalition that had won major New Deal reforms.
The anti-communist witch hunts destroyed or isolated progressive artists, educators and activists, but their main target was the growing labor movement. McCarthyism's main weapon was the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act. Among its many draconian provisions was its authorization of states to pass so-called "right-to-work" laws, which meant workers could reap the benefits of union membership without paying union dues.
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right to work.' It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights," Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a labor gathering years later.
Taft-Hartley made it far more difficult to organize in the South, but its full effect would be felt later as the corporate offensive against labor, with overt and subtle uses of racism, vastly strengthened corporations and smoothed the path to globalization and deindustrialization.
Our nation freed itself from the grip of McCarthyism in large part through the advancement of the Civil Rights Movement, which put marchers back in the streets. Many African-American union leaders and activists, such as A. Philip Randolph, led those protests.

Dog Dream Meanings Full Dictionary For Dreams About Dogs
'I have a dream' by Martin Luther King Jr. is a powerful rhetorical contact for equal rights for all American men and women regardless of their race. It is a continual source of inspiration for those fighting to continue what the Civil Rights movement began. Martin Luther King gave his infamous speech, "I have a dream." This speech made a substantial impact on quite a few persons. He was capable to modify the worlds perspective, and start off a new greater society.
Some researchers, including Swiss scientist Arthur Funkhouser, firmly think that precognitive dreams are the supply of quite a few déjà vu experiences. Dunne, an aeronautical engineer who created planes in World War II, carried out studies in 1939 employing students of Oxford University. His research located 12.7 % of his subjects' dreams to have similarities with future events. Recent studies, such as a single by Nancy Sondow in 1988, have had related benefits of 10 percent. Efron discovered that the temporal lobe of the brain's left hemisphere is accountable for sorting incoming details. He also identified that the temporal lobe receives this incoming information twice with a slight (milliseconds-extended) delay in between transmissions — once directly and when again after its detour by means of the proper hemisphere of the brain.
Specifically how déjà vu functions has long been a mystery, partly for the reason that its fleeting and unpredictable nature makes it hard to study. To get around this, O'Connor and his colleagues created a way to trigger the sensation of déjà vu in the lab.

There are numerous theories of the function of dreams, Kuras says. There is no definitive proof about what dreams consist of, but it's typically accepted that dreams represent a collection of thoughts, struggles, emotions, events, people, areas and symbols that are relevant to the dreamer in some way. A single of the most efficient ways to realize what your dreams imply is to study how to interpret dreams on your own.

The 1849 discovery in California drew in hundreds of thousands of guys believing that they, as well, could pan a fortune overnight. While most did not, and in truth, many guys spent their families' complete savings to uncover absolutely nothing, quite a few males did turn out to be rich in a matter of days. Even though it has changed by means of a lot of years and distinct political and economic circumstances within the country, the belief that personal success is achievable for any person to attain is a dream that nonetheless motivates Americans right now. "Survivors of trauma may perhaps dream about the perpetrators, at initially feeling in a helpless position, but as time goes on, may well grow to be much more and more robust and able to defend themselves," Englander says. "This could mirror improvements in their mood and sense of self-esteem as they progress in therapy." You may also be obtaining nightmares for these factors.

The speech had a excellent influence on minds and visions of all Americans and "forever "legitimized" civil rights in the minds of most Amricans" (Leff & Kauffeld 1989, p. 181). "I Have a Dream" is a representation of the "America Dream" about a absolutely free and equal society. As Leff & Kauffeld mention, "Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech won instant and sustained praise and has come to be a moral compass in American political culture" (p. 181).
These with nightmares knowledge abnormal sleep architecture. The impact of possessing a nightmare through the evening has been identified to be really comparable to that of insomnia. This is believed to be caused by frequent nocturnal awakenings and worry of falling asleep. Nightmare disorder symptoms contain repeated awakenings from the key sleep period or naps with detailed recall of extended and exceptionally frightening dreams, ordinarily involving threats to survival, security, or self-esteem. The awakenings normally take place through the second half of the sleep period.

It is not uncommon or inherently unhealthy to practical experience déjà vu each and every now and then. It's most most likely to happen to people who are 15 to 25 years old, and your likelihood of experiencing it decreases progressively as you age. It also occurs additional frequently for the duration of evenings and on weekends than in the course of weekdays. "This causes a disruption of recognition memory systems, which gives you that false sense of familiarity," Dr. Khoury says. He reports high levels of anxiousness, probably both contributing to and resulting from his frequent experience of déjà vu.
Some explanations posit that déjà vu is knowledgeable when there is spontaneous brain activity unrelated to what you're presently experiencing. When that takes place in the component of your brain dealing with memory, you can have a false feeling of familiarity. Only 1 other description of prescience as an ictal feature was located in the literature. Prescience can happen as an ictal function of temporal lobe epilepsy and represents a previously underreported psychic phenomenon. The prospective lateralizing worth of this symptom is however to be determined.

Preah Khan (, sometime transliterated as Prah Khan, is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just west of the Jayatataka baray, with which it was associated. It was the centre of a substantial organisation, with almost 100,000 officials and servants. The temple is flat in design, with a basic plan of successive rectangular galleries around a Buddhist sanctuary complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions. Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins.

The Rosewater Insurrection by Tade Thompson
Tade Thompson's debut novel Rosewater was one of the most original science fiction books of 2018. In that book, Thompson delivered what can only be called a slow alien invasion story. While there was plenty of action in that book, the aliens and their plans remained a little opaque. In The Rosewater Insurrection, these plans come to the fore.
The town of Rosewater, in the heart of Nigeria, has grown from a shanty town to a city sprawled around a strange alien dome known as Wormwood. The first book of this series, Rosewater was the story of Kaaro, one of the few people who have the ability to access the xenosphere, a shared mental space created by alien spores in the atmosphere. Kaaro, a former criminal, worked for a government agency known as S45 but was also investigating the deaths of others who could access this world. The Rosewater Insurrection broadens Thompson's world out considerably. While Kaaro does get a few point of view chapters, this story is told from a number of points of view most particularly Kaaro's girlfriend and S45 operative Aminat, mayor Jack Jacques and Alyssa, a woman who is more alien than human.
The Rosewater Insurrection brings a level of chaos to proceedings. This springs from the mayor's declaration of independence for Rosewater, a move which brings the might of the Nigerian government down on him. At the same time, Wormwood itself is fighting against a threat to its own existence. Thompson deftly navigates an increasingly disintegrating landscape as the Nigerian army closes in, S45 tries to play both sides and Wormwood is left defending itself. As he does so, Thompson constantly ups the pressure on all of the characters.
If Rosewater firmly announced the arrival of a new science fiction talent, its sequel confirms that claim. Thompson answers many of the big questions left from the first book – who are the aliens? What is it they want and why? What does this mean for humanity? – while asking more questions about how this situation will play out. The African setting is again used effectively, marking this as another strong entry in a growing body of Africa-based speculative fiction.
Thompson established a tentative status quo in the first book of this series which he completely throws over in the second. He leaves his world at a tipping point, poised for more revelations and reveals in the final volume of the series The Rosewater Redemption, which cannot come soon enough.

Commodore Perry Estate Gets New Look
Moule & Polyzoides designed new-build inn on site
Apr 12, 2021 | Design, Designer, Hotel, Hotels, Independent, Industry News, Interiors, Newbuilds, News, Renovations, Restoration/Preservation
Commodore Perry Estate's owners teamed with Auberge Resorts to set about reimagining the Austin, Texas-based property through a modern interpretation of its residential past: relaxed European elegance with true gracious Texas hospitality.
The redesign, which involved a combination of renovation and new construction, was a collaboration between architects Clayton Korte and Moule & Polyzoides, interior designer Ken Fulk Inc., and Ten Eyck Landscape Architects. The design team returned the historic components of the property to their former glory and built a new restaurant to serve as a backdrop to the historic gardens.
Throughout the property, every space has been furnished with a mix of custom and heirloom vintage pieces for an atmosphere that feels collected over time. The entry features the estate's original curving wrought-iron staircase, with a new hand-painted ceiling fresco overhead.
Across from the mansion, next to the original carriage house, is a newly built three-story inn with guestrooms and terrace suites surrounding a central courtyard. The building, designed by Moule & Polyzoides, features an elegant colonnade suited to the history of the compound. Custom millwork built-ins, rounded plaster archways, furnishings based on Italianate and Spanish Revival antiques, and bathrooms tiled in a classic star-and-cross pattern were all chosen to inspire. Throughout the hotel, a collection of vintage rugs and framed artworks were carefully sourced by the design team.

Bioprinting: The new frontier in medicine that's not science fiction
Published Mon, Nov 2 2015 9:50 AM EST Updated Mon, Nov 2 2015 12:56 PM EST

A year and a half ago, Dr. Albert Chi, a surgeon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and an expert in prosthetic devices, was talking to a group of parents whose children suffered from congenital limb loss. He told them that prices don't make it feasible to fit children with advanced prosthetic devices — kids will outgrow them in months, and more money will have to be spent upsizing a prosthetic hand or limb. That's when one parent challenged Chi: Hadn't he heard of 3-D printing?
Within a month, Chi and the hospital found out about and began working with Enabling the Future, a network of volunteers across the world who 3-D-print prosthetic hands and fingers for children for free. Since the group's founding in 2013 by Jon Schull, a research scientist at the Rochester Institute of Technology, it has made more than 1,500 plastic hands for kids. At his lab at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Chi fits patients for hands and creates those hands using three desktop 3-D printers he has available.
"People all over send us pictures of a hand next to a ruler; we scale the hand, and then we'll print them the proper size," he said. "Everything is printed — there's nothing metal in the hand at all."
Ushering in a new era of medicine
Additive manufacturing, generally referred to as 3-D printing, usually involves layering extruded thermoplastic or using a laser to transform a powdered metal or liquid resin into a three-dimensional object. Large manufacturing companies use additive manufacturing to construct prototypes or end-use parts, but over the last half decade, hobbyists and those new to 3-D printing have gained greater access to the technology, thanks to the proliferation of desktop 3-D printers.
Now 3-D printing is poised to usher in a new frontier in medicine, where the toxicity of drugs can be tested on living human tissue instead of animals, and personalized treatments are delivered to patients.
The prospects for the technology are strong. Over the next 10 years the industry is poised to boom. A report from IDTechEx estimates the global 3-D printing market will be $7 billion by 2025, with about half coming from 3-D bioprinting.

"There aren't necessarily things going into people's bodies," said Danny Cabrera, CEO of Philadelphia-based bioprinting start-up BioBots. "But we're using 3-D printing for a variety of different applications."

The business of 3D bioprinting
For instance, instead of relying solely on MRI and CT scans, surgeons are now able to print accurate replicas of patients' internal organs prior to surgery and simulate complicated surgeries beforehand, guiding their surgical teams through the steps needed to be taken later in the operating room. This new process increases the likelihood of a successful surgery.
Read MoreHow 3D printing will radically change the world
And while 3-D-printed complete organs ready for transplant are a decade away, at least, there have been examples of 3-D-printed structures serving as bone replacements. In the Netherlands in 2014, doctors replaced much of a patient's skull — which was slowly thickening and causing her headaches and vision loss — with a 3-D-printed plastic one. In September of this year, doctors in Spain implanted into a cancer patient a 3-D-printed titanium sternum and rib cage, snug substitutes for bones the patient lost when doctors excised a tumor.
Manufacturing human tissue
Perhaps more life-changing are the implications of the technology at the cellular level. Bioprinting, as it's called, usually involves mixing human stem cells, water and biocompatible material to produce living human tissue that can be matured into different types of human tissue — skin, liver, kidney, cartilage and so on.
This is the part of the field that Cabrera and co-founder Ricardo Solorzano's start-up — BioBots — has targeted: A BioBot is a desktop 3-D bioprinter, a machine about the size of a '90s computer monitor capable of printing living human cells and tissue. With a price tag under $10,000, it's much easier for researchers to procure a BioBot of their own. One researcher at Drexel University, for example, is using a BioBot in her lab to try to print bone tissue.

Bioprinting also opens up new ways of producing prescription pills. In August the Food and Drug Administration approved the first prescription drug developed via 3-D printing — a seizure medication for people with epilepsy, called Spritam, developed by Aprecia Pharmaceuticals. It was created from a set of biochemical inks, which means doses of the drug can be customized for each drug recipient.
And bioprinting allows for testing drug therapies on more than just animal cells.
"People have failures when they look at liver toxicity, because rat models aren't perfectly predictive," said Keith Murphy, CEO of California-based bioprinting company Organovo, which has been bioprinting liver tissue that can be used to test the safety and efficacy of certain drugs in treating liver diseases. "What we're able to show, so far, is we've been highly predictive of the true, eventual human impact of those drugs."
In April, Organovo signed deals with Merck and L'Oreal to share its 3-D-printing technology for the creation of skin and other types of cells.
Perhaps more life-changing are the implications of the technology at the cellular level. Bioprinting, as it's called, usually involves mixing human stem cells, water, and biocompatible material to produce living human tissue.
Of course, engineered cells and tissue created in a laboratory by means other than 3-D printing have already been put in patients, but completing that process by way of 3-D printing would not only ensure more precision and reproducibility but also provide a means to use a patient's own cells in the engineering of tissue.
"When we started 10 years ago, we were using a modified desktop printer. It worked, but it didn't have the right structural integrity where we could implant those tissues into patients," said Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Today, using 3-D printers and bio-inks developed at Wake Forest, Atala and others are able to 3-D-print tissues and structures, like blood vessels, with the right rigidity for implantation and the automation necessary to scale up bioprinting so that it touches more patients.
"3-D printers are really just a way to automate the process [of creating human tissue] and increase the number of patients that can benefit from the technology," Atala said.

전력 분석 공격은 공격자가 암호 알고리즘이 수행되는 동안 발생하는 전력 신호를 분석하여 비밀정보를 알아내는 분석 기법이다. 이러한 부채널 공격의 대응기법으로 널리 알려진 방법 중 하나는 마스킹 기법이다. 마스킹 기법은 크게 불 마스킹 형태와 산술 마스킹 형태의 두 종류로 나뉜다. 불 연산자와 산술 연산자를 사용하는 암호 알고리즘의 경우, 연산자에 따라 마스킹의 형태를 변환하는 알고리즘으로 마스킹 기법을 적용 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방식보다 더 적은 비용의 저장 공간을 이용하는 산술 마스킹에서 불 마스킹 변환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 변환 알고리즘은 마스킹의 최하위 비트(LSB)의 경우 불 마스킹과 산술 마스킹이 같음을 이용하여 변환하려는 비트 크기와 같은 크기만큼 저장 공간을 사용하여 참조 테이블을 구성한다. 이로 인해 기존의 변환 알고리즘과 비교해 성능 저하 없이 더 적은 비용으로 변환 알고리즘을 설계할 수 있다. 추가로 제안하는 기법을 LEA에 적용하여 기존의 기법보다 최대 26.2% 성능향상을 보였다.
Power analysis attacks are techniques to analyze power signals to find out the secrets when cryptographic algorithm is performed. One of the most famous countermeasure against power analysis attacks is masking methods. Masking types are largely classified into two types which are boolean masking and arithmetic masking. For the cryptographic algorithm to be used with boolean and arithmetic masking at the same time, the converting algorithm can switch between boolean and arithmetic masking. In this paper we propose an algorithm for switching from boolean to arithmetic masking using storage size at less cost than ones. The proposed algorithm is configured to convert using the look-up table without the least significant bit(LSB), because of equal the bit of boolean and arithmetic masking. This makes it possible to design a converting algorithm compared to the previous algorithm at a lower cost without sacrificing performance. In addition, by applying the technique at the LEA it showed up to 26 percent performance improvement over existing techniques.

Once again, America challenged to create a 'right' new normal

President Trump was speaking to the nation's governors and, among other things, was threatening to send American troops against American people on American soil.
One of the people with him was Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who added his advice about the demonstrations across the land: "The sooner that you mass and dominate the battlespace, the quicker this dissipates and we can get back to the right normal."
And what will the "right" normal look like, Mr. Secretary?
Will it be normal for the attorney general of the United States to order the use of chemical agents to clear out protesters so President Trump, brandishing a Bible, could have a photo-op in front of a damaged Episcopal church? One of the last times he used the Bible as a prop for his reality shows he embarrassed himself by referring to Two Corinthians.
Will it be normal to hear the pleas of a black man, "I can't breathe," as a policeman kneels on his neck or applies a choke hold until he is dead?
Will it be normal for the racism of hundreds of years to continue to be exploited for political gains? Will the depth of hatred that has spawned such hideous acts against people of color through the years be erased?
What will be different in the "right" normal? Those of us old enough have asked that question too many times following heart-shattering events in our country.
We asked it after the internment of Japanese Americans; after African American soldiers returned home from World War II and still faced white and black drinking fountains and were refused the right to eat in white-only restaurants or spend the night in white-only hotels and motels; after the treatment of Jackie Robinson when he broke the color line in major league baseball.
We asked it after the brutal slayings of Emmett Till, of three young civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Miss., of Viola Liuzzo, the only white woman murdered in that era, and of Medgar Evers in front of his home; after Alabama Gov. George Wallace stood in a door at the University of Alabama in an unsuccessful attempt to block black students from attending; after the violent resistance when James Meredith enrolled at the University of Mississippi; after troops had to escort the Little Rock Nine into an Arkansas high school.
We asked it after the assassinations of President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy; after the dogs and baton swinging deputies were turned loose on marchers on bloody Sunday in Selma and after four young black girls were killed in a Birmingham church bombing; after the days of rage in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic convention; after the policemen were found not guilty in the Rodney King beating and a riot erupted, leaving 63 people dead.
In more recent years we asked the same question after the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, John Crawford, Stephon Clark, Breonna Taylor and many others.
There were so many moments in history when we could have and should have made some real changes in the system of justice, in the soul of our nation, in our collective hearts.
As a child in my early elementary school years, I received some terrible news one day: A young unarmed black man in our hometown had been knifed to death by a white man over a minor argument. Many of us kids knew the victim. He made and sold us our kites, beautiful colorful kites that soared like an angel floating toward heaven.
The only question I knew to express at that age was why? How can anyone harbor so much hate to deliberately take another man's life? There were answers in my catechism book, but not in the Mississippi law books. The killer was given a six-month sentence. A mother and father were given a lifetime sentence of grief.
It will be a major undertaking to create a new normal that is "right." We have to overcome two viruses, one named corona and the other, centuries older, named racism.
Can we do it?
After Hurricane Katrina the coastal town where I was raised was broken into pieces and my wife and I went back to offer whatever help we could to loved ones.
One day a couple of family members pushed open the door to their youngest child's room, which had been jammed closed by at least 6 feet of water. And then they were startled by a voice that rang out, "There's a job to do, and we can do it." Turned out it was their son's Bob the Builder doll and the door had activated his voice box. You know, like the president "activating" his attorney general.
Bob's words were an anthem of hope, not of despair: "We can do it."
Together, we can and must create a normal that is truly "right" for all.
