Question: Are Travertine Pavers slippery when wet?
Answer: Our Travertine Pavers have been independently 3rd-party tested and were found to be less slippery when wet, as indicated by the Co-Efficient of Friction test results; usually an average dry 0.60 to an average wet 0.74.
Our Travertine Pavers are considered "Conditionally Slip-Resistant" meaning that if no other factors come into play, only Travertine and water, it is slip-resistant. Many cities and counties nationwide consider 0.6 as the minimum to be called "Slip-Resistant."

Needless to say, all seven edifices are in the modernist style, but given that the architectural profession is dominated by modernism, one would surely expect its leading exponents to mount a compelling defence.
With the partial exception of Foster and Levette, they fail to do so. However, their arguments are still instructive, revealing a great deal about the modernist mentality.
Abstraction has its place – in modern art that no one is forced to look at or an experimental novel that no one has to read; but when applied to a building, the experiment is carried out on people who must live with it (or in it).
Are the "typical" museums of, say, Kensington really so uninviting?
In his defence of the Tour Montparnasse (another Parisian blot on the townscape), Daniel Libeskind admits that it is "not a work of genius", but insists that "we have no choice but to build good high-rise buildings that are affordable." Yet we do have other options. The work of Create Streets shows that we can provide the space we need using traditional and harmonious patterns of development.
That is indeed unfortunate. It's also an extreme example of a familiar pattern: modern architecture that looks fine on the drawing board, and even when newly built, but which doesn't stand the test of time. This can't be blamed on bad management alone – disorder is inevitable and modernist buildings, with their blank faces and unforgiving lines, are inherently vulnerable to it.
Some of us would regard that as less of a hopeful sign and more of an ample warning.

Coal seam gas is a form of natural gas promoted as an alternative fuel to coal.
The gas lies deep under the ground and secured in coal beds by water pressure. The search for alternative and greener fuels has led to this growth in coal seam gas as an interim alternative while renewable industries are further developed and marketed.
'The rationale for the use of natural gas has been because its combustion produces less carbon dioxide than coal,' says Dr David Shearman, the honorary secretary of Doctors for the Environment Australia.
But new studies undertaken by Professor Robert Howarth of Cornell University show that the impacts of methane leaks make the life-cycle greenhouse gas footprint of coal seam gas worse than those of coal and fuel oil.
Dr Shearman suggests that these fugitive methane emissions, along with other environmental effects of coal seam gas mining such as water contamination, loss of productive land and disruption of communities, mean that there are more adverse effects of the gas when compared to coal.
Professor Howarth argues for a rapid move toward an economy based on renewable energy rather than to one dependent on the gas industry.
Nevertheless, the rush to mine CSG is set to be the next big mining boom – this time it's taking place in the eastern states of Australia.
In our energy-hungry world, coal seam gas provides a vital source of fuel, and resource-rich Australia has vast deposits of it.
Queensland is already home to 3,000 wells, with a total of 40,000 wells to be constructed across the state – often on very valuable agricultural land.
But the $60 billion industry, promoted as an alternative to dirty coal, is anything but clean. Health experts, landowners and environmentalists are raising the spectre of serious social, health and environmental impacts, and calling for a moratorium on the industry that threatens the livelihoods of farmers, scarce water sources, and food supplies.
Pollution levels are increasing due to the escaping methane that is released during the extraction of coal seam gas. Toxic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene are used in the extraction process. Then there are the heavy metals and radioactive isotopes – also damaging to health. There is also the risk that up to 40 per cent of the toxic chemicals remain within the structure of the seam and can move through the groundwater polluting the Great Artesian Basin – water used for agriculture.
Residents are reporting strange body rashes, with some suffering from ongoing headaches. There are stories of stomach problems and many residents affected by the coal seam gas industry are now wondering if their water supplies are safe to drink and bathe in. The National Toxics Network (NTN) is calling for a moratorium on the use of drilling and fracturing chemicals used in the hydraulic drilling and fracturing of coal gas seams. It wants these chemicals fully assessed for their potential health and environmental hazards by the industrial chemicals regulator, the National Industrial Chemical Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS).
Dr Shearman says he is concerned about how the CSG industry will affect Australia as a food producer both for the nation and as an exporter.
'Large swathes of prime agricultural land are being degraded to facilitate gas wells. A recent federal government report from its Science, Engineering and Innovation Council, warns that Australia could become a net importer of food in the future,' he says.
There are billions of dollars to be made and 18,000 jobs created but the community, environmentalists and landowners have come together to fight the gas companies all the way.
Last year, representatives from over 40 community groups formed the Lock the Gate Alliance calling for a moratorium on the coal seam gas industry. The rural way of life is under threat with many farming families leaving their land as the intrusions caused by the mining process become too much to bear. And it's not just the rural communities who are fighting the imposition of coal seam gas mining. It was recently reported that residents of the suburb of St. Peters in Sydney were rallying to stop mines being built in their area following the New South Wales government's approval for an exploration company to drill a well searching for gas.
The Australian Greens are calling for a moratorium on all coal seam gas extraction in Queensland and promise to introduce environmental laws to protect productive farmland and precious water supplies. The Greens believe that in this time of global food insecurity, any threats to Australia's food bowl should be treated with great caution.
According to David Shearman, there is little chance that the industry will stop as the government has signed coal seam gas contracts worth billions of dollars at a time when moratoria have been called in several other countries.
However, a Senate inquiry has been announced into the impacts of CSG mining.
However, neither the coal seam miners or governments are questioning the cost of this relentless cycle of economic growth that continues.
And the fears are that this will continue to be the case unless communities and other supporters fight back.

Machines & Equipment Used in the Office
by Jessica Davis
Proper office machines and equipment help businesses run like well-oiled machines. Although each business may have specific equipment determined by industry, there are universal technologies for all office spaces. Each item works together to ensure duties can be performed in-house, which can save time and money.

A computer can be considered the most important office equipment. The Internet has made it possible to connect people around the world, thus a well-equipped computer system is imperative to running a business. Companies can choose either PC or Mac systems, based on preference. The important thing is that one system is chosen for the entire office, which allows for office networking. Laptops are more expensive than desktops, and are often used for working from home.
Copy Machines and Printers
Whether an office needs a full-sized copier or just a three-in-one printer is determined by the size of the business. Most large companies have a heavy print and copy load and need the durability of a full-sized copier that can print remotely and make large scale copies. High-quality copiers may be a necessity, but that depends on the business. Small businesses can save money and buy a small printer with copying and scanning functions, if it's determined that large quantity print-outs won't be a daily occurrence.

The role of the fax machine has decreased in the office with the introduction of email and scanners, but standard fax machines remain an office staple. Fax machines make it possible to transmit documents, rather than waiting for mail. Standard functions of an office fax machine can vary by company. Start up businesses and those sending over 15 faxes a day often need a high capacity memory and sending speed.
Offices have telephones that often feature multiple lines and caller identification. A speakerphone option makes conference calls possible. While not every office has a secretary, answering systems make sure that customers never hear a busy signal. These are messages that play when calls come into the office and give callers options on how to direct their call.

Represented by: Mr.A.K.Sharma & Mr.C.M. Sharma, Advocates.
Represented by: Mr.Arunav Tiwari, Advocate with respondent in person.
1. The appellant/wife is in appeal impugning the judgment and decree dated January 30, 2016 whereby the respondent/husband has been granted a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty. For the sake of convenience we shall be referring the parties as 'the wife' and 'the husband'.
3. The marriage was consummated. The couple was blessed with two sons – elder one born on July 12, 2003 and younger one born on September 09, 2005.
5. The husband sought divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion.
6. In the written statement the wife denied all the instances of cruelty and desertion alleged in the divorce petition. She pleaded that her husband was not a bachelor at the time of his marriage with her. His first wife committed suicide by jumping into the well because of the harassment and torture caused to her. After her marriage she was also severely beaten by her father-in-law Sh.Ram Sahay and brothers-in-law Sh.Ranjeet, Sh.Parbhas Dayal, Sh.Ram Gopal and Sh.Ram Babu. She also claimed that she was harassed on non-fulfilment of the dowry demand. While pleading that the parties were having normal conjugal relationship till the period March 28, 2007 to June 18, 2007, when the husband had gone to attend the marriage of her sister on June 19, 2007 at Alwar, Rajasthan, he returned without attending the marriage.
7. While raising preliminary objection about the maintainability of the divorce petition but admitting relationship of husband and wife between the parties, the wife pleaded it to be a case of she being harassed on account of dowry demand. She also pleaded that the husband had relations with other women. He always came late at night in drunken state and did not share bed with her in the same room for sleeping at night and had been neglecting not only her but also his matrimonial obligations.
8. While the husband examined himself as PW1 he also produced two more witnesses as PW2 – Kishan Lal and PW3 – Bhagwan Dass who visited them and were insulted by his wife.
9. The wife examined herself as RW1.
10. After considering the evidence adduced by the parties, learned Judge, Family Court dismissed the divorce petition on the ground of desertion for the reason that the divorce petition was filed before expiry of statutory period of two years from the date of desertion.
(i) The allegations regarding demands of dowry by the wife are general, vague and ambiguous.
(ii) There was no evidence of her husband being earlier married or the wife committing suicide on account of dowry demand.
(iii) The wife has tarnished the reputation of the husband by assassinating his character that he was having relationship with a school teacher.
(i) The husband was under graduate at the time of marriage. The fact that he not only completed his graduation but also got a Government job after one year of marriage reflects that the wife provided a peaceful and healthy environment at home.
(ii) The persons who were allegedly defamed or insulted by the wife have not been examined and even PW2 and PW3 did not depose about any rumour being heard by them which had the effect of adversely affecting the character of the husband.
(iii) The wife is only 8th Class pass and there is no question of she getting any job in place of her husband if something goes wrong with him.
(iv) Birth of two children out of this wedlock indicates her dedication and love for the husband.
(v) The allegation against her of making long calls from PCO on the false pretext, that she was calling her family, has not been established.
(vi) Name of the Tantrik who performed the puja is not disclosed.
(vii) No complaint was made to the police when the husband was allegedly tried to be strangulated by her.
(viii) She always expressed her desire to live with the husband which has not been considered by the Family Court.
(ix) The legal recourse taken by her by filing petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and FIR No.901/07 under Section 498A/406/34 IPC at PS Uttam Nagar against the husband and his family does not amount to cruelty.
'the only grievance of the appellant is that the child is studying in a village and he wants that the child should study in Air Force School at Palam, Delhi where he was earlier studying. The appellant/husband has also agreed to bear the school expenses of the child apart from maintenance of `6,000/- which he is already paying to the respondent/wife.
16. It is an admitted fact, recorded by the Family Court, in the order on application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 that the house which was purchased by the husband in Delhi is in use and occupation by the wife since beginning and it is the husband who is residing in a rented accommodation. Thus the allegation made by the wife that he intended to dispossess them from the house, which was purchased by the husband by availing loan facility, is contrary to the factual situation noted in the two orders (i) by the Family Court while disposing of an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955; and (ii) by this Court in MAT Appeal No.10/2012.
17. Testimony of PW2 and PW3 proved that when they visited the house of the appellant, they had to face insult and humiliation at the hands of the wife. They were produced by the husband not to prove that his character has been assassinated but to bring on record the conduct of his wife even with the guests visiting their house.
18. So far as character assassination of the husband is concerned, it is a matter of record that such accusations have been made not only in the written statement filed on August 23, 2007 but also thereafter in the FIR registered on December 07, 2007. It may be relevant to refer here that after taking the plea in the written statement that the husband is not only a drunkard but also lives in adultery and failed to perform matrimonial obligations, she pleaded of being harassed after the marriage and physically assaulted for not meeting the dowry demands. The written submissions are just contrary to that. Wherein she projected herself to be a good wife providing right kind of environment to the husband for study and preparing for competition for government job, she could not have done so had she been harassed and physically tortured on above grounds. It may be relevant to mention here that the marriage was solemnised on May 01, 2001 and FIR making such types of allegations was lodged on December 07, 2007, almost after a period of six and a half years of marriage.
19. The averment made in the written statement that the husband and in- laws tried/threatened to set her on fire by pouring kerosene oil on her is conspicuously absent in the FIR. Making such type of accusations in the written statement in itself amounts to causing mental cruelty to the husband especially when his entire family has been blamed for giving beatings on non-fulfilment of the dowry demand. The wife has not examined either her father or her Fufa to establish that the alleged demand of `50,000 was fulfilled for arranging a job for the husband nor this fact is pleaded in the written statement. It is a matter of record that he got the job on merits. The husband has education to her sons in a reputed school in Delhi even after the wife left him and continue doing so even after litigation started. Even if all the pleas by the wife are considered to be proved, she could not establish herself to be a victim of matrimonial offence.
20. With a view to examine the correctness of the finding returned by the learned Judge, Family Court that the husband was subjected to cruelty, we have re-appreciated the entire evidence. First of all we may note that plea of the wife that her husband was already married and his first wife committed suicide by jumping into a well, which was concealed at the time of her marriage to the respondent, has not been substantiated by any material – oral or documentary. Suffice it to note here that a case of unnatural death of young bride and that too in a village can never be kept a secret. Such type of unnatural deaths invite penal action. We restrict our discussion only on the under mentioned four grounds for the reason if these grounds are substantiated by the respondent/husband, we need not delve any further:- (1) The wife insulting and humiliating not only the husband and in-laws but also the guests visiting their house.
Apart from the version of PW-1 – the husband, PW-2, Kishan Lal has also stated that on his visit to the house of the parties whenever the appellant/wife was asked to prepare tea, she used to abuse without caring for the presence of the guests. PW-3, Bhagwan Dass visited the house of the parties on the occasion of the birth of their younger son. He has also stated that without bothering for the presence of other guests the wife was abusing the husband that he had not properly invited her parental family. (2) Assassinating the character of the husband as leading an adulterous life and projecting him as drunkard.
'Levelling disgusting accusations of unchastity and indecent familiarity with a person outside wedlock and allegations of extra-marital relationship is a grave assault on the character, honour, reputation, status as well as the health of the wife.
Such aspersions of perfidiousness attributed to the wife, viewed in context of an educated Indian wife and judged by Indian conditions and standards would amount to worst form of insult and cruelty, sufficient by itself to substantiate cruelty in law, warranting the claim of the wife being allowed. That such allegations made in the written statement or suggested in the course of examination and by way of cross-examination satisfy the requirement of law has also come to be firmly laid down by the Supreme Court.' In the instant case the spouse making such allegations is wife who has branded her husband as a drunkard and leading an adulterous life. The effect of such allegations on the state of mind of the husband is reflected in para No.44 of the divorce petition. The husband has pleaded that he felt like committing suicide when his wife made such type of accusations despite he being a non-smoker and teetotaller but desisted for the sake of his son. (3) Accusing the husband and his entire family of treating the wife with physical and mental cruelty on non-fulfilment of the dowry demand.
The marriage between the parties was solemnized on May 01, 2001. For more than six and a half years they lived together initially at his native place, then in Delhi. There was no averment in the written statement of any specific dowry demand being fulfilled. For the first time at the stage of registration of FIR in December, 2007 the allegations were made of fulfilment of the demand of Rs.50,000 to arrange a job for the husband and the money being sent by her father through her uncle (Fufa) Sh. Madan Lal, without even specifying the month/year of meeting the demand. The husband has qualified SSB just after one year of the marriage and is employed as a teacher in MCD school. This shows that he has qualified the competitive examination and got selected on merits. Absence of any such pleading in the written statement filed just four months prior to the registration of FIR is indicative of the falsity of such allegations. We are not informed about the fate of the investigation in the above FIR No. and whether the trial has been concluded or not. In this case we are dealing with the matrimonial offence which is required to be proved on probability and not on the standard of 'proof beyond reasonable doubt' as required in a criminal trial. We have drawn the above inference on the basis of averments made in the written statement dated August 23, 2007 and in the FIR dated December 07, 2007.
(4) Performing 'Tantrik Kriyas' through a Tantrik and herself, the acts under the evil spell i.e. attempt being made on the life of the husband repeatedly to strangulate him and attack him with a knife.
In para Nos.38 and 39 of the divorce petition the husband had pleaded about the 'Tantrik Kriyas' being performed by the wife through Tantrik as well herself. In para No.45 of the petition the husband has pleaded that one night his wife tried to strangulate him which filled him with terror and shock. In para No.46 of the petition he again pleaded that he was spending sleepless nights worrying about his life and of his son. Another attempt made on his life by his wife was also by trying to strangulate him. His wife appeared to be under some evil spell and was having the knife in her hand at mid-night. He got out of the house and kept roaming on the street, feeling haunted. In the morning when he returned he found his wife missing with both the sons. He informed the incident telephonically to his father-in-law.
21. In the written statement the above averments have been simply denied by the wife.
22. We do not want to delve about motive behind such 'Tantrik Kriyas' or the intention behind keeping clove, cardamom and beetle nut under his pillow cover. The question to be decided is whether such acts by the wife constitute mental cruelty. A detailed analysis is available in a well reasoned decision reported as AIR 1961 P&H 125 P.L.Sayal Vs. Smt.Sarla Rani, in which numerous decisions have been cited and discussed on this subject. In the above noted case, it was conceded by the wife that some kind of magical charm or tawij or potion was administered by her to the petitioner/husband sometime in the end of 1951. Thereafter, the husband became ill. Apart from nervous breakdown he suffered various other complications. This was pleaded as an act of cruelty to seek judicial separation under Section 10 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The petition was dismissed and impugned in appeal bearing FAO No. 72-D/1957 (decided on September 22, 1960).
'6. Considering the state of mind, the status and the prevailing notions of the strata of society to which the parties belong, the conclusion appears to be irresistible that a state of tension exists between the husband and the wife and the husband, at any rate, is afraid of living with his wife lest such a thing should happen again. Admittedly, the parties are not living together and their marital life has ceased to exist from 1953. It is to be seen in this context whether the conduct of which the petitioner complains comes within the ambit of legal cruelty according to the meaning attached to this word by eminent authorities.
24. Reverting to the facts of the instant appeal, we find that the acts of cruelty attributed to the wife have been proved by the husband not only by his own testimony but also by examining two other witnesses who visited their house and left insulted and humiliated. The allegations of dowry demand, physical and mental harassment made by the wife in the written statement and even going to the extent that she was threatened to be set on fire by putting kerosene oil on her are of very serious nature. Most of the allegations made in the written statement including threat to set her on fire are missing in the FIR No.901/07 under Section 498A/406/34 IPC, registered at PS Uttam Nagar just after four months of filing the written statement. The wife has been assassinating the character of the husband by accusing him of having illicit relationship with his colleague or projecting him as an alcoholic without there being even an iota of evidence to establish the above fact even on probabilities. We have unrebutted testimony of the husband that he is a non-smoker, teetotaller and was compelled to walk out of the house fearing threat to his life because of the 'Tantrik Kriyas' being performed by his wife. This is sufficient to create fear in his mind about his safety. The husband cannot be made to spend sleepless night fearing for his life.
25. The admitted fact that he purchased a house in Delhi after availing home loan facility and has given to his wife to live there by shifting to a rented accommodation, bearing the maintenance and education expenses of both sons and even ensuring that his children study in a good school in Delhi i.e. Air Force School Delhi reflect that he is a caring father having no intention to sell either the house or intend to dispossess them to settle in life with another lady.
26. The disgusting accusations made by the wife against the husband of he being in illicit relationship, referring him as a drunkard are serious in nature assassinating his character and harming his reputation as a teacher. She has failed to prove any of the above but yet resisting the divorce which if accepted, would make life of the two even more complex and unbearable. The allegations made not only in the written statement but also in the FIR against the husband and his entire family have the effect of causing mental cruelty to him and his entire family. It is now beyond cavil that if a false character assassination allegation is made by either spouse it would invariably constitute matrimonial cruelty to entitle other spouse to seek divorce.
27. The findings recorded by the learned Judge Family Court in our opinion are fully borne out from the material on record and cannot be faulted with. Therefore, the decree of divorce granted by the Family Court has to be upheld.
28. The appeal is dismissed.
29. LCR be sent back alongwith copy of this order.


Forerunner Ventures founder Kirsten Green records an episode of the "No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis" podcast.
Kirsten Green is the venture capitalist behind Jet.com, Glossier, Warby Parker, Outdoor Voices, Birchbox, Away, and many more well-known companies. As the head of Forerunner Ventures, a venture capital firm, her job is to spot ambitious entrepreneurs who are seeking to be a part of the next generation of commerce.
Numbers and practicality always came easy to Green, but her passion for people and relationships was the driving force behind her decision to start Forerunner. After being laid off during the banking industry consolidation of the early 2000s, Kirsten was at a loss of how to move forward.
"On a practical level, I said, 'Geez, no matter how good of a job I'm doing, my opportunity here changed. It got taken away from me for one reason or another, I'm not going to put myself in that situation again,' and I think that really unearthed the entrepreneurial side of me, which was taking things into my own hands," Green told ABC News' Chief Business, Technology and Economics correspondent, Rebecca Jarvis on an episode of the "No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis" podcast.
Hear Kirsten Green on episode #113 of "No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis"
Green began her career immediately after graduating from college. She accepted an auditor position at Deloitte & Touche, a major accounting firm, while many of her friends opted to take the year off and explore the world.
"In retrospect, I think I should've done that because I think there's so much to be had for being open-minded about what your path and your journey looks like and embracing experiences," Green said.
While many would have jumped at the opportunity to ski snow-covered mountains or sunbathe in the Greek islands, Green was too overwhelmed with the excitement of having a business card to think about much else.
After three years with Deloitte and getting her accounting license, Kirsten decided to try her luck in the world of investing. She ended up at Montgomery Securities, which later merged with Bank of America. The team Kirsten was working on was eventually dismantled, leaving her feeling completely upended. However, it was also during this time that Green was able to take a step back and discover who she was outside of her career.
Instead of looking for a set and structured plan, Kirsten spent the next five to six years seeking a variety of opportunities and taking things along the way that she felt were fostering her development. She worked on consulting projects, helped different investment firms, made her own investments and took time to enjoy writing, photography and painting classes for her own personal growth, something she had never made time for in her previous roles.
Throughout her years of internal exploration, Kirsten was able to pinpoint exactly what it was she was passionate about, aside from numbers and strategy.
She realized investing in private companies was a way she could combine her strategic side with her personal side to create a business that allowed her to engage with others and form relationships while also allowing using spreadsheets.
And that's how Forerunner Ventures began.
Of course, there were people along the way who voiced their doubts, but Kirsten chose to ignore the negatives and focus on the people giving her good advice instead.
"There were plenty of people that told me along the way, 'you can't start your own venture firm when you haven't been in venture.' Good thing I didn't listen to them," she said.
You could say Kirsten has come full circle from raising capital to start a business she was passionate about, to now funding others who also have aspirations of becoming their own boss.
And if you're wondering what matters most to Kirsten when pitching an idea, it's to just be yourself.

Q: Quickest way to read network data? What are the alternative methods I have for reading a packet of data in the quickest time possible?
Writing a driver in user-space?
I have never written a driver for a network card (although if it wasn't as difficult as writing a whole operating system I'd be interested?). Could I obtain the already-existing driver code which must exist in Linux somewhere and literally "porting" this in to the user space? Would both Linux Kernel driver and my driver try to compete for same packets?
Not writing a driver, but accessing the network data immediately after the stack from the C/C++ application?
I do not know much about this approach- so if someone could help here I'd be interested.
I am interested in implementing my own zero-copy techniques to get the packet data as fast as possible. This computer doesn't need to use normal internet- it could be a proprietary network connection between two computers (for TCP and UDP).
EDIT:
I mean latency, not throughput

A: The lowest latency for receiving packets in Linux is, as you say, to bypass the Linux kernel, which requires special drivers.  High-end network adapters from Mellanox, Solarflare, Myricom, Chelsio, etc. provide kernel bypass software.  For example, Mellanox claims you can receive a packet in under 2 microseconds with their ConnectX-3 card and VMA 6.0 software

This week Mellanox announced the newest version of its VMA 6.0
  Messaging Accelerator, which includes enhanced TCP and UDP
  acceleration support over ConnectX-3 VPI adapter cards. With ultra-low
  UDP latency under 1.4 microseconds and TCP socket latency under 1.7
  microseconds, this messaging technology is reportedly more than two
  times faster than competitive offerings.

http://insidehpc.com/2012/01/10/interview-mellanox-vma-6-0-tackles-latency-for-high-frequency-trading/

A: I would say that using PCap should be fast enough. They have also modified version for linux with improved performance - PF_RING / PF_RING DNA.

Home Business Companies Oracle
Oracle's biggest threat: 'No changes whatsoever'
Oracle changed titles among its top three execs and tried to calm the troops by promising that nothing will change. Is that really a good thing?
Written by Larry Dignan, Contributor on Sept. 21, 2014
Larry Ellison's move to step down as CEO of Oracle to become chief technology officer as well as making Safra Catz and Mark Hurd co-CEOs was smoothed over by promises that nothing will change about the company's approach, day-to-day operations or strategy. Are those steady-as-Oracle goes promises a good thing?
Let's get real. Ellison's move to step down from CEO may not amount to much given that Catz and Hurd were effectively running the company anyway. Ellison played large roles in technology and strategic direction, but often seemed more at ease running his America's Cup team.
Enterprise software: The big trends and why they matter
Aside from title changes, Ellison, Catz and Hurd will likely operate the way they always have. The issue is that Oracle has moved from a technology company to a cross selling machine. Oracle acquires software, cloud and hardware companies, bundles them and sells. Yet Oracle is facing multiple challenges ranging from a transition to the cloud, declining hardware sales and a customer base that is likely to use the company's core relational database as well as alternatives for big data workloads. In other words, Oracle isn't the only database in town.
Oracle's Ellison steps down as CEO as Hurd, Catz take over | Larry Ellison has not left the building. For Oracle's sake, maybe he should
Here's the exchange that made me go hmm:
Karl Keirstead, an analyst at Deutsche Bank said:
My question is back to the leadership changes. And, in particular, I'd love to learn a little bit more about how these changes might trickle down into the rest of the Oracle organization. Safra, you touched a little bit on the CFO role, and how I think you left a message that really no significant change. I wanted to ask, Mark, as you transition to your new role, whether that would result in any change on the sales leadership and sales structure side as well?
Catz's response:
Karl, I just want to make sure, we are very, very clear. There will actually be no changes. Okay? Not no significant changes. I just want to clarify. No changes whatsoever.
Hurd's response:
Karl, I don't want to be short, but it's just not in my view we're pretty flat. And in terms of the way we run the place, and we want to keep it that way. So I want to stay close to the action, not get farther away from the action. So to be direct, the answer is no. But I wanted to make sure that you heard the rest of that.
Oracle's strategy — embrace cloud, win on applications and keep database customers with in-memory options — can work. But the transition will take time. Will Oracle get more or less patience from customers and investors with Catz and Hurd in charge over Ellison? It's a safe bet that Oracle's dynamic duo will get less. We'll know more about customer reaction at Oracle's OpenWorld conference that kicks off Sept. 28 in San Francisco.
To recap here are Oracle's challenges in a nutshell:
The cloud. Last week on Oracle's first quarter earnings conference call, executives knocked Workday at every turn. Hurd touted more HCM wins and noted that Oracle added more customers in one quarter than Workday has had in its history. Oracle also said it wants to be the biggest cloud company on the planet. However, cloud revenue will take away from applications licensing. Meanwhile, it's unclear whether Oracle's cloud wins are defensive to keep customers under a different business model or greenfield additions.
Database. Wedbush analyst Steve Koenig said "database results weren't as robust as we would have expected given Oracle's new in-memory and multi-tenant options." Oracle's 12c product cycle is worth watching because it'll tell you all you need to know about the company's future health. Ellison also plugged Oracle's database as a service launch coming at OpenWorld.
Applications. Oracle is moving its applications customers to a subscription and cloud delivery model. However, cloud customers aren't locked in as easily. Oracle will have to continue to deliver innovation to keep those app customers in the fold.
Hardware. Oracle's hardware business has stumbled for years. This first quarter also highlighted the hardware woes. Oracle's engineered systems sell well, but high-end servers are getting thumped. Oracle is banking on high-end systems to make its hardware unit worth talking about.
Weak performance. Oracle has missed five out of the last seven quarters. At some point, patience wears thin.
Perhaps Oracle has the perfect strategy to navigate these turbulent technology waters. Or Oracle may just have to tweak everything from its sales approach to roadmap to executive ranks. Simply put, it's far too early for Oracle to promise that nothing will change. Those promises could be downright scary to keep.

Mike Vaught serves as the CEO at 86HOPE, a boutique consulting agency that provides a variety of services to clients in search of regional or national branding/exposure, and B2B opportunities through elite sports partnerships. Founded in 2019, 86HOPE has partnerships with top NASCAR Teams, NASCAR Tracks, College Football, College Basketball, and 501c3's.
Prior to 86HOPE, Vaught served as Grand Canyon's Vice President of Athletics from 2014-2019. Vaught led GCU through the four year NCAA transition to division 1 status, transitioning 21 sports and over 100 staff. During Vaught's tenure the Lopes won back-to-back Western Athletic Conference Commissioners Cups, Academic Excellence Award, and 21 WAC Conference Championships. GCU also constructed 10 Athletic Facilities in 2 years under Vaught's leadership. Prior to joining GCU, Vaught held several administrative roles within collegiate and high school athletics.
Vaught joined Southern Methodist in 2006 as deputy director of athletics for a program that hadn't been to a football bowl game in 25 years and still hadn't recovered from the NCAA death penalty incurred by its football program in 1987. Vaught was involved in two key hires – football coach June Jones and men's basketball coach Larry Brown – while also restructuring all student-athlete welfare programs that resulted in improved GPAs and class attendance.
As sport supervisor of the football program, Vaught developed and implemented a plan that took SMU to a bowl game in Jones' second year and in each of the three years afterward. It was SMU's for bowl came in 25 years. Vaught also joined with SMU's director of athletics to formulate an 18-month plan that resulted in the university joining the Big East Conference (now known as the American Conference).
Before aiding the Mustangs, Vaught helped build a football program at Rice that hadn't been to a bowl game in 45 years. With Todd Graham as coach, Rice accepted a bid to the New Orleans Bowl in his first year. In just six months at Rice, Vaught and Graham broke the school record for football fundraising.
Vaught also served as athletic director for the five-school Alamo Heights High School District in San Antonio, Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, and spent 19 years as a college football coach at Arkansas, Missouri State, Texas State and the U.S. Naval Academy, where he was offensive coordinator for a team that won the national rushing title in 1999.
Before going to Grand Canyon, he spent two and a half years in the private sector as director of corporate sponsorships for a health and wellness company. In his role, he helped develop partnerships with ESPN, the Texas Bowl, FC Dallas of Major League Soccer, Texas Kickoff and Cowboys Classic football games, and with Roush Fenway Racing and Richard Childress Racing on the NASCAR Xfinity Tour, ending the 2013 season with the NASCAR Championship.
At each stop, Vaught has instituted a benchmark of striving for perfection and excellence. More than words, however, he has instituted organizational plans to achieve that success both on the field and in the classroom while also becoming active in charitable causes.
Vaught and his wife Karri have been married 32 years.

Statement from The Nature Conservancy Regarding Rollback of Auto Emission Standards, Fuel Efficiency Standards, and the California Waiver
Email: angela.campbell@tnc.org
The Nature Conservancy opposes the Trump Administration's proposal to cap federal fuel economy standards at the 2020 level and revoke the state of California's waiver that allows the state to regulate carbon pollution from tailpipes. These proposed new regulations effectively ignore the needs of our economy and communities, the continued challenges of air pollution, and the growing impacts of climate change.
"Tailpipe emission standards, including the California waiver, have for nearly half a century been one of the most successful means to improve the quality of the air we breathe," says Lynn Scarlett, Co-Head of External Affairs at The Nature Conservancy. "Emission and fuel economy standards, by continuing to ask manufacturers do better, encourage automakers to keep innovating and make vehicles run cleaner and go farther on less fuel. While less efficient vehicles might be cheaper to produce, the increased fuel costs quickly outpace those savings, ultimately reaching a total of up to $475 billion by 2050, according to estimates from Energy Innovation."
"California has been fighting dirty air since before there was a Clean Air Act. We made smog as famous as the Hollywood sign," says Mike Sweeney, Evecutive Director for The Nature Conservancy's California Chapter. "Our leaders made sure that when the Clean Air Act was passed it didn't make Californians settle for lower air quality standards than the ones we used to beat back smog. That's what the waiver is all about. Today, our air pollution problems are even more important to tackle because of their impact on climate. California is acutely feeling the effects of climate change contributing to megafires burning across our state, and more extreme weather swinging from extended droughts to destructive floods, and dangerous heat waves. The least the federal government can do is stay out of our way while we rise to this challenge."
"The Nature Conservancy has long supported durable federal action to improve air quality and address the threat that a changing climate poses to our economy, our communities, and our natural systems. That includes robust standards that address pollution from cars and trucks, which currently are significant contributors to the carbon pollution that causes global warming. We urge the Administration not to undermine one of the most effective tools for driving innovation and addressing the pollution problems caused by tailpipe exhaust," says Scarlett.
The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world's toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at an unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and helping make cities more sustainable. Working in 79 countries and territories, we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners.

Q: Showing that a homotopy fiber of a fibration is homotopy equivalent to the fiber of the base point. Assume $(E, e_0)$ and $(B, b_0)$ are based spaces with the indicated base points.
Given a based fibration $p: E \rightarrow B$. We have the respective homotopy: fiber
\begin{equation}
Fp= \{(e,\beta) | \beta(1)=p(e)\} \subset E \times F(I,B)
\end{equation}
 I wrote $F(I,B)$ as the path space for $B$ or space of based maps from the unit interval to $B$ that send $0$ to $b_0$.
Question:
The fibre $F=p^{-1}(b_0)$ has an inclusion map $\phi: F \rightarrow Fp$ where $e \mapsto (e, c_{b_0})$ is an homotopy equivalence.
What I've thought of so far:
The path mapping space $Np=\{(e, \beta)| \beta(1)=p(e)\}\subset E \times F(I_{+}, B)$. $I_{+}$ is a the union of the unit interval and some arbitrary disjoint base point.
We can replace $p: E \rightarrow  B$ with the composition of $\nu:E \rightarrow Np$ with $ \rho: Np \rightarrow B$. $\nu$ will send $e \mapsto (e, c_{p(e)})$ and $\rho$ will send $(e,\beta) \mapsto \beta(1)$.
The map $\nu$ is a homotopy equivalence since we can deform $Np$ to $\nu(E)$ using the homotopy which sends $(e, \beta(t), s)$ to $(e, \beta((1-s)t)$. We also have that $\rho^{-1}(b_0)$ is the homotopy fiber $Fp$.
It is difficult to pull off a similar deformation if there is one. This is where I am currently stuck and any hints on the matter will be helpful.

A: This is a very general fact about model categories and homotopy pullbacks, as evidenced by Zhen Lin's comment. It's also proven as a special case of Proposition 4.65 in Hatcher's book. Let me nevertheless spell out the argument precisely for topological spaces.
Define $E_p = \{ (y, \gamma) \in E \times B^{[0,1]} \mid p(y) = \gamma(0) \}$. There's a map (in fact a fibration) $q : E_p \to B$, $(y,\gamma) \mapsto \gamma(1)$, and the homotopy fiber is the fiber $F_p = q^{-1}(b_0)$. The inclusion $$i : F = p^{-1}(b_0) \to F_p$$ is given by $i(y) = (y, \mathrm{cst}_{b_0})$.
Define a homotopy $g_t : E_p \to B$, $(y,\gamma) \mapsto \gamma(t)$. Then $g_0(y, \gamma) = \gamma(0) = p(y)$, so $g_0$ lifts through $p$ by $\bar{g}_0 : E_p \to E$, $\bar{g}_0(y,\gamma) = y$ (i.e. $p \circ \bar{g}_0 = g_0$). Because $E \to B$ is a fibration, by the homotopy lifting property, there is a full lift $\bar{g}_t : E_p \to E$ of $g_t$ through $p$. In other words, $\bar{g}_t$ satisfies the following equation:
$$p(\bar{g}_t(y,\gamma)) = \gamma(t).$$
Now restrict everything to the fibers: let $h_t : F_p \to F_p$ be given by $h_t(y,\gamma) = \bigl(\bar{g}_t(y,\gamma), \gamma_{\mid [t,1]} \bigr)$ (because of the previous equation, this is in $F_p$). Then $h_0$ is the identity, whereas $h_1(y,\gamma) = (\bar{g}_1(y,\gamma), \mathrm{cst}_{b_0})$ is in the image of $i : F \to F_p$. And now that $h_t$ is a homotopy between $ih_1$ and the identity, while the restriction of $h_t$ is a homotopy between $h_1i$ and the identity. Thus $F$ and $F_p$ are homotopy equivalent.

Final remark: it's much simpler to prove that $F$ and $F_p$ are weakly homotopy equivalent, because the map $i$ induces easily an isomorphism on all homotopy groups. The square
$$\require{AMScd}
\begin{CD}
E @>>> E_p \\
@VVV @VVV \\
B @>>> B
\end{CD}$$
induces a map between the long exact sequences of the respective fibrations:
$$\begin{CD}
\dots @>>> \pi_n(F) @>>> \pi_n(E) @>>> \pi_n(B) @>>> \pi_{n-1}(E) @>>> \dots \\
@. @VVV @VVV @VVV @VVV @. \\
\dots @>>> \pi_n(F_p) @>>> \pi_n(E_p) @>>> \pi_n(B) @>>> \pi_{n-1}(E) @>>> \dots
\end{CD}$$
Since $E$ and $E_p$ are homotopy weakly homotopy equivalent ($PB$ is contractible), and so by the five lemma and induction, the maps $\pi_n(F) \to \pi_n(F_p)$ are isomorphisms.

\section{Introduction}
Understanding the vertical disk structure of spiral galaxies is crucial for
learning about how galaxies form and evolve over time
\citep{Samland03,Moster10}, as well as producing an accurate estimate for the
baryon content of disks \citep{Bershady10a,Bershady10b}. In the Milky Way,
with survey measurements of many thousands of individual stars, disk structure
can be examined in great detail \citep[e.g.][]{Bovy12}. When viewed as if it
were an external galaxy, the Milky Way's light distribution can be fit with just three main disk components:
the thick disk, containing old stars (scaleheight h$_{z}\sim1$ kpc); the
thin disk, the most domininant light-weighted component (h$_{z}\sim300$ pc);
and a super-thin disk, consisting mostly of young stars \citep[h$_z\sim100$ pc,][]{vanDokkum94}. The latter component goes by many names in the
literature; it is frequently referred to as the `young' or `star-forming'
disk. We prefer the term `super-thin' as it carries no assumption about the age of the disk.

The existence of both thin and thick disks in other spiral galaxies, while an
uncertainty for many years \citep{vanDokkum94}, has now been confirmed
\citep{Dalcanton02,Comeron11}. However, the ubiquitous presence of dust near
the midplane of these galaxies \citep[especially for massive ones most similar
to the Milky Way,][]{Dalcanton04} prevents easy study of any super-thin
components.

Here we present initial results from our ongoing work to map edge-on disk
structure, using a combination of
high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) imaging and advanced Monte Carlo radiation
transfer models to remove the effects of dust and probe vertical surface
brightness profiles all the way down to the midplane. Our method is
illustrated by its application to NGC 891, but is broadly applicable to all
edge-on galaxies.

  idealized model are marked by arrows indicating the additional structure
  required to fit the observed surface-brightness profiles. The light gray solid
  lines show our best fitting model including the inner disk truncation, bar,
  and nuclear disk. }
\section{Data and Model}
The following is a brief overview of our data and our radition transfer
modeling. Full details of our methodology, both for data reduction and producing our
attenuation correction, can be found in \citet{Schechtman-Rook13}.
\subsection{NIR Data}
Data were taken on the WIYN High-resolution InfraRed Camera
\citep[WHIRC;][]{Meixner10} on the WIYN 3.5 m telescope in 2011 October. NGC
891 is significantly larger in radius than the WHIRC field of view, so three
pointings were required to image out to just over $\pm$10 kpc in radius. Sky
images were interspersed with data exposures in order to compute an accurate
background estimate for such an extended object. The
images were processed using in-house reduction software, which performs all
aspects of data reduction from initial trimming of the images to creating the
final mosaic.
\subsection{Attenuation Correction}
To compute the attenuation correction we first model NGC 891 using the
radiation transfer software HYPERION \citep{Robitaille11}; a model was created
which matched the integrated spectral energy distribution of NGC 891, and
images of this model with and without dust were compared to produce a
pixel-by-pixel attenuation map. The attenuation in a given pixel was
well-predicted by the model's K$_{\mathrm{s}}$-4.5$\mu$m color.
\articlefigure[scale=0.53]{schechtman-rooka_fig2_color_compressed.eps}{fig:fastrotators}{JHK$_{\mathrm{s}}$
  false-color images of the isolated fast
  rotators (other than NGC 891) in our sample. The dashed ellipse
  indicates the inner truncation in visible in our images of NGC 4565.}

In order to use this color to correct our WHIRC data, we obtained an archival
{\it Spitzer} IRAC image of NGC 891. While this image is at significantly
lower resolution compared to our NIR data, the intrinsic smoothness of the luminosity
profile at 4.5$\mu$m allows us to preserve the resolution of our WHIRC data.

\section{Results}
\subsection{NGC 891}
Observed and attenuation-corrected JHK$_{\mathrm{s}}$ false-color images are
given in\\ \citet{Schechtman-Rook13}. We fit models with up to three discrete disk components, producing
best-fitting models using a Levenberg-Marquardt non-linear least-squares
fitter. For these initial models we ignored the central 3 kpc of NGC 891 to
avoid bulge/bar contamination. We find that three disks are necessary in order
to reproduce NGC 891's intrinsic K$_{\mathrm{s}}$-band surface-brightness at all
heights. These three components have very scale-heights to the Milky Way, with
the super-thin disk scale-height $h_{z}\approx$60 pc.

We then investigated the ability of our models to fit the data within 3 kpc,
and found that models with just disks and R$^{1/4}$-law bulges were
  insufficient. In all, we had to add three new features to our best-fitting 3
  disk model: an inner disk truncation for all three disk components at R$\approx$3.1 kpc; a bar, which was
  well-approximated by an exponential disk with $h_{z}\approx$400 pc; and
  a nuclear extension of the super-thin disk, which has a scale-length of only
  250 pc. An R$^{1/4}$-law bulge is not necessary to reproduce the light
  profile of NGC 891, and actually results in significantly worse fits if used
  in place of the nuclear super-thin disk. The light from the bar is roughly
  equivalent to the light lost due to the inner disk truncation, implying that
  the bar is composed of stars swept up from NGC 891's disks.

\articlefigure[scale=0.53]{schechtman-rooka_fig3_color_compressed.eps}{fig:slowrotators}{JHK$_{\mathrm{s}}$
  false-color images of the two slow-rotators (V$<$90 km sec$^{-1}$) in our
  sample. These galaxies show little evidence for dust-lane attenuation but
  have extensive star-clusters throughout the vertical range of the disk.}
\subsection{Other Galaxies}
In addition to NGC 891, we have a small sample of nearby edge-on galaxies
suitable for this analysis. We generally selected systems with properties
similar to the Milky Way and NGC 891 (Figure \ref{fig:fastrotators}); however
we have also included some low-mass spirals (Figure \ref{fig:slowrotators}) as well as a galaxy undergoing a
minor interaction (bottom panel of Figure \ref{fig:fastrotators}). In both
figures the images are not attenuation corrected.

Of special note is NGC~4565 (second from bottom panel of Figure \ref{fig:fastrotators}),
which has a clearly visible inner disk truncation. Interestingly this also
appears to be the situation in the Milky Way \citep[at least in dust
emission, see][]{Robitaille12}. While three galaxies is too small a sample to draw
definitive conclusions, it appears inner disk truncations may be a common
feature of massive spiral galaxies.

Brain's Immune Cells to Blame for Obesity-associated Cognitive Decline

Obesity leads to cognitive impairment by activating microglial cells, which consume otherwise functional synapses in the hippocampus, according to a study of male mice published in JNeurosci. The research suggests that microglia may be a potential therapeutic target for one of the lesser known effects of this global health epidemic on the brain.

Nearly two billion adults worldwide are overweight, more than 600 million of whom are obese. In addition to increasing risk of conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, obesity is also a known risk factor for cognitive disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The cellular mechanisms that contribute to cognitive decline in obesity, however, are not well understood.
Elise Cope and colleagues replicated previous research by demonstrating diet-induced obesity in mice impairs performance on cognitive tasks dependent on the hippocampus and results in loss of dendritic spines -- the neuronal protrusions that receive signals from other cells -- and activates microglia. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches to block microglial activity, the researchers established microglia are causally linked to obesity-induced dendritic spine loss and cognitive decline. The results suggest obesity may drive microglia into a synapse-eating frenzy that contributes to the cognitive deficits observed in this condition.

Life-like robot being built in Ottawa lab
Canadian scientists are developing a robot that mimics the human face's expressions and human hand's tactile processes, which they say will be useful in areas like nursing, nuclear plant maintenance, and explosive device disposal. It could even act as a companion.

Canadian scientists are developing a robot that mimics the human face's expressions and human hand's tactile processes, which they say will be useful in areas like nursing, nuclear plant maintenance, and explosive device disposal. It could even act as a companion.
Leadscientist Emil Petriu, a computer engineer at the University of Ottawa who has done work for the Canadian Space Agency, described his research in a phone interview with CBC News.
A key part of the technology is a new biology-inspired touch-sensitive artificial skin that is able to sense contact, as well as the profile, temperature and elasticity of object surfaces, ultimately raising the tactile sensitivity of robots to the human level. The artificial skin is made of elastic silicon and embedded with tactical and temperature sensors.
"We are using biology as our source of inspiration. Human beings are most comfortable interacting with devices that move and respond the same way we do," said Petriu.
In a lab, he and his colleagues are using a robot as their test subject, methodically replacing its mechanical parts with more life-like parts they are designing. They will start with the head and then the hands.
They are designing some of the mechanical and electronic sensor elements for devices, such as intricate prosthetic limbs that can covey large amounts of information through a sense of touch.
For robots to perform some of the function of humans, in a nursing or home care capacity for instance, Petriu believes they must be user-friendly in key ways.
If a robot has to come into physical contact with a person, the interaction will be more comfortable if its skin is warm to our touch and Petriu said. "It's critical that they should have a warm, fuzzy feeling or they don't feel human."
He is able to warm up the surface of the prosthesis to match human skin temperature by embedding white tubes that circulate hot water in the artificial skin.
Petriu is also mounting a set of actuators (artificial muscles embedded as tiny motors) on various parts of a newly acquired, anatomically correct model of a human skull — complete with a spring-loaded jaw that replicates the movement of the lower face.
The actuators will then be covered with an elastic skin. The aim is to produce a highly life-like face, capable of representing complex human expressions ranging from surprise to anger.
Charles Darwin was one of the first scientists to identify the value of facial expression for interpersonal communication and later scientists created a formal coding system to link various expressions with particular combinations of muscles, Petriu said.
This same coding system will provide the basis for programming the movements of artificial skin over Petriu's test skull so that expressions appear familiar and authentic.
Petriu believes robots could one day be our companions in a symbiotic relationship.
"Our society is becoming more and more disconnected," he said, pointing to a generation that increasingly spends time alone, socializing virtually.
If such people miss the physical companionship of others, the presence of a robot could meet this need without the complications of a human relationship, said Petriu.
"We are, after all, still social beings."
