U.S. Tour-Operators Attend Cuban Tourism Fair for First Time
Ciego de Avila, May 6 (RHC) -- For the first time ever, more than 129 U.S. travel agents and tour-operators are attending a Cuban tourism fair, said Tourism Minister Manuel Marrero during the inauguration of the 35th edition of the International Tourism Fair FITCuba 2015 that runs until May 7th in central Ciego de Avila province.
Marrero said that a growing number of U.S. executives have visited the island since the United States and Cuba announced on December 17th their intention to re-establish diplomatic relations. However, he stressed that the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba continues to be the main obstacle for U.S. citizens to freely travel to the Caribbean nation as tourists.
Cuba welcomed more than three million tourists in 2014, a 5.3 percent growth compared to the previous year.
At present, the local tourist sector has 5,492 hotel rooms in four and five-star facilities, including 26 joint ventures. At the same time, Cuba maintains hotel management contracts with 18 international hotel chains in 69 hotels, with Spain's Melia Hotels International being the main partner. The Spanish group manages 27 tourist facilities and will soon mark its 25th anniversary of operations in Cuba.
As to the growing private initiative, the tourism minister referred to 1,574 restaurants and 11,504 private homes offering tourist accommodations.
Cuba operates 10 international airports, which serve 54 foreign airline companies flying to more than 60 cities of the world. The island is making efforts to increase the number of arrivals by those companies, said the minister, who noted that Spain's Iberia airlines will resume flights to Cuba in June.

Getting rid of a political millstone - Obamacare waivers to end - American Thinker

Getting rid of a political millstone - Obamacare waivers to end
By Rick Moran
It appears that even the appearance if impropriety on waivers for Obamacare is enough to get the administration to cease granting them.
AJC:
Political considerations were "absolutely not" part of the decision, said Steve Larsen, head of a section of the Health and Human Services department that oversees President Barack Obama's health care law.
Sure. But you might want to do something about that nose. It appears to be getting bigger by the minute.
Larsen said no new applications for waivers will be considered after Sept. 22. Approvals or renewals received by the deadline will be good through 2013. Starting in 2014, the main coverage provisions of the health care law will take effect, and such waivers will no longer be needed.
The waivers address a provision of the law that phases out annual dollar limits on coverage by health insurance plans. Starting this year, plans could not impose a limit below $750,000. But some plans, offered mainly to low-income workers, currently provide $50,000 a year in coverage, and in certain cases much less.
Those plans would have been forced to close down or jack up premiums significantly, leaving more people uninsured.
The waivers were established to avoid disrupting existing coverage. In 2014, taxpayer-subsidized insurance will be available to most of the people now covered by the affected plans.
What isn't mentioned is that there is a distinct possibility that once the 2012 election is history, the political pressure will be off so that extending the waivers past 2014 might be in the offing.
A GAO report that came out earlier this week claimed no political favoritism in granting waivers. Begging your pardon but asking the GAO to ferret out political shennanigans is like asking the Commerce Department to take charge of the next moon mission. They aren't equipped to make those judgments, largely because the GAO only looks at process. That it's "fair" and that no obvious political enemies were turned down for waivers doesn't mean that administration allies didn't have a reasonable certainty that if they applied, they would get one.
We'll see how accurate the GAO is when 2014 rolls around and some of the waivers are up for renewal.

I have a file I use over and over to make .jpg face textures for my 3D cartoon figures.
I have it set to a base setting no expression.
Is there a simple way after exporting as well as saving to revert back to the original base file?
Perhaps there isn't a way to do this, but maybe someone knows a tip or too. or possibly it can be done somehow.
P.S. the entire file is 62MB. a Designer file.
I'm not sure this is what you're after, but after I have exported/saved a file, I use file>close and choose not to save the changes.
Why not put each changes into a separate group - you can toggle on off for export and have all progress in one file - no?
This sounds like a perfect use for Snapshots.
If you use both AD & AP, you may not have realized AD has a snapshot feature that is a more limited version of the one in AP, since there is no Document > Add Snapshot menu item or an Undo Brush tool in AD.
To use Snapshots in AD, first open the Snapshots Studio Panel (View > Studio > Snapshots). That panel has icons for the Add & Restore Snapshot missing from the main menus, plus Rename & Trash icons for managing the list of snapshots you make with the Add icon.
This should allow you to save & restore not just the base settings but also any other expressions (or whatever) to use as a starting point for new ones, & keep everything in the same document.
Not sure how this would be done without duplicating objects which I guess will increase the file size.
Will the snapshots be available in other documents or only the one you did the snap shot in? I'm guessing just the one.
If you create a snapshot from the initial object and name if base or something you can then select it and click on New Document From Snapshot icon on the Snapshots panel to create a new document from it. It's not exactly what you want but it may help a little.
There's improvements planned for the Media Browser that will let you save your own objects for reuse - see designer's roadmap - (in whatever documents you wish), and eventually templates will be also available at some point.
I think snap shots are going to be the answer. Thanks.
"There's improvements planned for the Media Browser that will let you save your own objects for reuse - see designer's roadmap - (in whatever documents you wish), and eventually templates will be also available at some point."
Yes, just the one document but you can revert the document to any of them at any time (there is a list in the Snapshots panel) & like MEB said, you can use the "New document from Snapshot" option to generate new ones, although they will not 'inherent' the snapshots of the original (I think).
So as long as you name each snapshot appropriately (like base, happy face, sad face, etc.) you should be able to consider the snapshot doc as the "master" & use it to create multiple new docs for JPEG exports -- you don't even have to save the new docs if you don't edit them beyond their snapshot version, if that makes any sense.
Thanks everyone. The snapshot is a nice feature.


however he we be working as a designer for a very famous toy company so we don't mind letting him go for a little while.
Uncle Mat is Daddy's best friend and another of your awesome uncle's.
Last week we had some food together and Uncle Mat brought a Nerf gun to play with.
You absolutely loved it and laughed your head off at the darts flying about the room.
I know a lot of people say that children are forced into gender stereotypes by their parents and peers but I can honestly say You have been into boy type things since you were old enough to sit up.
You love cars, tractors, trains, footballs and, more recently, big guns that fire foam darts.
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for you to be into whatever interests you have, and should you one day want to do ballet or wear pink socks I'll be supporting you..
You just love playing with other boys and kicking footballs at the moment.
It was such a special moment as it will be a long time before we see Uncle Mat again and you had such a laugh playing together.
A simple moment but one I don't want to forget..

Holy Fawn
Through an otherworldly conjuration of heavy guitars, soothing dissonance, and textural space, Holy Fawn invoke music from seen and unseen corners and crevices of the wilderness. Like an ancient culture exalting the sacred spirit of nature, the music mirrors the onset of night in the woods, a delicate push-and-pull of ominous sonic omens and blissful vocal calm. The Phoenix quartet—Ryan Osterman [guitar, vocals], Evan Phelps [guitar], Alexander Rieth [bass], and Austin Reinholz [drums]—hint at such sorcery in their chosen moniker.
"We wanted a name that was going to represent the sacredness of nature," says Ryan. "In a lot of instances, a fawn is representative of psychic abilities, connections, premonitions, and otherworldly influence. It's relatable, because of a lot of the lyrical content is paranormal or based on nature. Then, nature will fuel music, and music will fuel our fascination with the vantages of nature."
Existing within the same musical ecosystem, the members started jamming in 2015. They bonded over a similar aesthetic. It's informed by minimalist indie films a la the documentary Horizon and the stark simplicity of literature, including Cormac McCarthy's The Road and No Country for Old Men.
Evan notes, "Those books stuck with me because they're really heavy on imagery and description with little dialogue. They made me realize I could paint a world in my head with very few words, which is what we try to do."
These gatherings eventually gave birth to their independent EP debut Realms. Throughout the next three years between intermittent gigs, the group hunkered down and recorded their first full-length album Death Spells. The ten songs assumed a wild spirit by juxtaposing untamed noise with sweeping melodies as if untethered to the reason, rules, and logic of the civilized urban world and beholden to an internal compass. The title proved apropos.
A quiet launch landed Death Spells in the hands of a few tastemakers during 2018, and it took up residence in the minds of fans and critics alike. Stereogum lauded it as one of the "Top 50 Records of 2018." New Noise described it as a "sonic adventure," and Heavy Blog Is Heavy called them, "wholly unique." Additionally, they earned the fandom of Thrice's Riley Breckenridge and Lamb of God's Randy Blythe who promised, "listening from top-to-bottom will take you on a trance-inducing journey." In 2019, it receives a proper full release on Triple Crown Records. This new phase begins with the music video for opening track "Dark Stone," which completes a triptych begun by previous visuals for "Arrows" and "Drag Me Into The Woods."
"I want listeners to make a personal connection with Death Spells," Ryan leaves off. "When I was a kid, I'd pick up a CD, go home, take out the artwork, and literally digest the album. It's how I listen to music today and how I hope others might experience our band."
"The album is meant to be heard like that," concludes Austin. "It's laid out to be loud and in-your-face with a million thoughts going through your head. You're questioning yourself. Then, it's calm. It's unpredictable."

This is how patents help in the fight against COVID-19
A patent gives you protection over what you have been working on for years. It is a useful tool to toy with your competitors' capabilities and it increases the value of your company. In essence, the purpose of the patent system is to stimulate technological advances by sharing knowledge about new inventions in exchange for a temporary patent monopoly. Right now during the COVID-19 crisis, I am very pleased to see that the key objective has come even more to the fore.
COVID-19 in patent databases
The first patent applications aimed at symptom control, disinfection and detection of COVID-19 have started to appear in patent databases in recent weeks. That in itself is quite remarkable. Normally, there are 18 months between an application being filed and it being published in a database. In these cases, accelerated publication was requested This is always possible, but rarely happens, because you generally do not want to provide your competitors with more information than you actually need to. However, in the case of remedies against COVID-19, accelerated publication and granting can be crucial.
Patent database source of knowledge and inspiration
It is also good to see that the European Patent Office is highlighting patent publications on its website that could be relevant in the fight against COVID-19. The patent database appears to be a great source of inspiration, for example when it comes to treatment methods against coronaviruses, ingredients that make vaccines more effective, methods of administration and the production of face masks.
Role patent system
New technologies often build on old ones, but it is not always visible how the patent system plays an important role in this. With the accelerated patent publications and overviews from the European Patent Office, this added value may become apparent to a wider audience. Hopefully, the patent system can play a role in curbing COVID-19 as quickly as possible.

Q: Can you install LXDE or XFCE without altering non-desktop aspects of Ubuntu? I love Ubuntu, and I love the Unity desktop environment. But sometimes I just need to do something fast and I don't need the extra flash of Unity, or I just want a different look and feel for awhile. So in the past on Ubuntu I have tried installing LXDE or XFCE for any number of reasons through the commands:
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

and...
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

respectively. Afterward I would come to find that odd changes had been made to Ubuntu that I had not wanted: such as Plymouth changing from the standard Ubuntu logo to the Xubuntu/Lubuntu logo. I am aware that you can manually change this back; but my concern is that other things/settings might also be getting changed or added in the process.
So my main question is if there is some method of installing LXDE or XFCE, with only the absolute most necessary changes or additions to Ubuntu.

A: Both LXDE and XFCE (LXDE, XFCE) are in the universe repository.
So you can just install either of the two in place of the correspondent full environment:
sudo apt-get install lxde
sudo apt-get install xfce4

Flaming Zombooka Walkthrough
Flaming Zombooka is an addictive and engrossing physics based zombie game that will challenge you to not only kill all the zombie in each level, but also to use your mind to do it. This game isn't about being fast on the draw. It isn't about shooting as many zombies as you can as fast as you can. Instead, this game is about looking at the obstacles standing between you and your goal of total zombie annihilation and figuring out how to either get around them or use them to your advantage. It isn't always easy to see the solution but the solution is always there. As you play, you'll learn what certain obstacles do and how you can use them to help you. You'll learn how to aim your weapon to get over other obstacles to hit the zombie on the other side. In other words, in this game, experience is your best friend. It can be frustrating but if you stick with it, you'll get much better and you'll be able to solve even the most difficult puzzles in the game.
The greatest benefit Flaming Zombooka offers is that it's unique. The zombie game genre is one full of games that follow the same basic premise. They have the same rules and offer the same goal. If you love games that allow you to take out your aggressions on an army of the undead, you have fairly limited options. This game seems to recognize that and offers an alternative. This is something experienced zombie game players are especially going to appreciate. You still get to kill zombies which is always fun, but you aren't just standing on one side of the screen with a gun, trying to take out the zombies attacking you from the other screen so you won't have your brain eaten. Instead, you are standing on a platform with a bazooka surrounded by zombies in various locations. They don't attack you. Instead, they just stand there and wait for you to put them back in the grave. You'll need to assess the puzzle and determine what factors are working in your favor and what factors are going to serve as a hindrance. The key is to look at the puzzle as a whole instead of as a series of singular obstacles. Often times, you'll be able to take out more than one zombie with a single rocket if you play it right. That will help you finish the level more quickly with a better score, but if you're only looking at the puzzle one zombie at a time, you're likely not going to see that shot.
Different obstacles do different things in Flaming Zombooka and that's really something many newcomers to the game have a hard time figuring out. The instructions don't exactly explain what all of the different items do so you're more or less going to have to figure that out with trial and error. Some of the obstacles move when you hit them. Others will swing from one corner. Others will stay still when you hit them but will allow your rocket to bounce off while others will cause your rocket to blow up as soon as contact is made. Spikes are pretty straight forward. If your zombie hits the spikes it will die. Figuring out how to get the zombie to hit the spikes can be a bit tricky though. Sometimes you'll have to use the swinging platforms to swing and hit the zombie onto the spikes. Other times, you'll have to use boxes to push the zombie off the edge of the platform and onto the spikes if you're not able to get a direct hit on the zombies. The only problem with using boxes is that if you hit them too many times, you'll blow up the box. Sometimes that can work in your favor as you'll get a direct shot at the zombie. Other times blowing up the box will eliminate any chance you have at hitting the zombie and you'll have to restart the level.
What makes Flaming Zombooka so difficult is that you only have a limited number of rockets to complete each level. On easier levels, you'll have less rockets, but you'll be able to finish easily without even using all of the rockets you're given. More complex levels will often give you a greater number of rockets but solving the puzzle without using all of those rockets will be much harder. If you don't kill all the zombies before you run out of rockets, you'll lose and will have to start over from the beginning of the level. The number of rockets available to you is shown at the bottom of the screen. That should be the first thing you check when you start a new level. See how many rockets you have and then chart out how you will use those rockets. Formulate a plan before you even take your first shot. When you first start playing, it's almost guaranteed your plan won't go exactly as you envision, but as you play more and get more familiar with aiming, shooting and the different types of obstacles, your plan will become a lot more accurate. Look at the angles you'll need to use to hit zombies and should you make a mistake, try to correct that mistake based on your last shot. Learn from your mistakes and you should do fine. If you make a lot of mistakes and its clear to you there is no chance you're going to be able to finish the puzzle with the rockets you have left, hit the 'replay' button (at the bottom right of the screen) and start over. It takes a little longer, but it will be worth it. Try to remember where you went wrong the time before and try a better plan. There's no time limit and there's no limit on how many times you can retry a puzzle. Take your time. Rushing will get you nowhere.
Overall, Flaming Zombooka is an excellent physics based zombie game that gives you the chance to kill zombies without the typical mindlessness that's so common in this genre. Zombie games don't have to be all about killing. They can also challenge your mind and this game proves it. With forty-five levels that increase in difficulty with each new puzzle, you'll definitely find the challenge you're looking for. Be patient and take your time. For those zombie game fans that are also familiar with physics games, this one might be a bit on the easy side and a bit too short. If you find yourself still wanting more at the end of the game, try playing again for a high score. This is a game for newcomers to zombie games and experienced players alike. If you want to do well, you're going to have to forget everything you know about zombie games and prepare your brain for an exercise in logic and physics. Combining the fun of killing zombies with the challenge of solving puzzles, this game offers something for everyone and is well worth checking out.

"Welcome to the City Theatre of the Future": Invitation to NTGent's Season Presentation 2018/19 on Friday, 18 May
Never before has a production by Milo Rau been so hotly awaited as "La Reprise / The Repetition", which premiered at the National Theatre in Brussels on 4 May 2018. The play, which deals with the murder of homosexual Ihsane Jarfi in 2012 and culminates in a 20-minute torture scene, was celebrated by the public and the press alike. "Cruel murder becomes a theatrical masterpiece", wrote the Standaard, Bruzz saw a "hammer blow", Le Soir a "homage to all the possibilities of theatre", Belgian television RTBF a "new 'great' Milo Rau, that puts all drama at distance to move us deeply", DIE ZEIT a "grandiose reconstruction (…) of glistening beauty", La Libre Belgique finally a "masterpiece (…) that will shape theatre history".
At the same time, the depiction of senseless violence, with which Rau ties in with his classical re-enactments such as "The Last Days of Ceausescu's" as much as with the metatheatre etudes "Five Easy Pieces" or "The 120 Days of Sodom", led to rejection, especially in its celebration of theatre means: "No matter how much meta Rau expands his theatre, he does not question his own position", the magazine Et-cetera wrote. Form your own opinion: Starting Wednesday 16 May, "La Reprise" will be shown at NTGent (some tickets are left for Saturday, 19 May), then the production will move on to the Théâtre Vidy Lausanne, Kaserne Basel, the Berlin Schaubühne, the Festival d'Avignon, the Romaeuropa Festival and the Paris Festival d'Automne, among many other venues.
Milo Rau's first season as artistic director will also be presented in Ghent this week in the context of the guest performances of "La Reprise / The Repetition". On Friday, 18 May 2018, at 7 pm, the "Ghent Manifesto" will be read out in the NTGent's Schouwburg and the artists and productions of the 2018/19 season will be presented. A "City Theatre of the Future" is to be created in which local and global production methods of the independent scene are blended with those of a large city theatre with four stages: a free, open production house with an international ensemble and guests, school and workshop of the theatre – which, not least of all, continually questions its own position and vision.


The past two decades have witnessed the revolutionary development of optical trapping of nanoparticles, most of which deal with trapping stiffness larger than 10−8 N/m. In this conventional regime, however, it remains a formidable challenge to sort out sub–50-nm nanoparticles with single-nanometer precision, isolating us from a rich flatland with advanced applications of micromanipulation. With an insightfully established roadmap of damping, the synchronization between optical force and flow drag force can be coordinated to attempt the loosely overdamped realm (stiffness, 10−10 to 10−8 N/m), which has been challenging. This paper intuitively demonstrates the remarkable functionality to sort out single gold nanoparticles with radii ranging from 30 to 50 nm, as well as 100- and 150-nm polystyrene nanoparticles, with single nanometer precision. The quasi-Bessel optical profile and the loosely overdamped potential wells in the microchannel enable those aforementioned nanoparticles to be separated, positioned, and microscopically oscillated. This work reveals an unprecedentedly meaningful damping scenario that enriches our fundamental understanding of particle kinetics in intriguing optical systems, and offers new opportunities for tumor targeting, intracellular imaging, and sorting small particles such as viruses and DNA.

A Faster Path to Healing, Allscripts Connects Hospitals, Physicians, and Patients with Healthy Apps
Greatly reduced MTTR
Optimization—ability to do more with less
Increased collaboration between IT teams and facilitated DevOps culture
Agility Requires Clear Visibility
For Allscripts, the ability to stay on top of trends is key to ensuring quality experiences for all users, from doctors and patients to business and IT teams.
But all too often, efforts to be fast-moving and agile can result in even greater complexity, as new software and hardware are added to legacy systems. This is further complicated when there's a lack of visibility into a digital ecosystem—which was an issue being faced by Allscripts, compounded by a lack of ability to quickly and confidently address issues while in production.
"With classic tools and techniques, kicking off a debugging session in a production environment is a scary thing," says Brady. "We were becoming really hamstrung by our tools. If your instrumentation is wrong, you're looking in the wrong place."
So, the Allscripts team began looking for an application intelligence solution that could not just identify that there was a problem, but give them end-to-end visibility into the root cause of the issues. They also wanted a tool that could integrate into their existing tools, and create a strong, symbiotic relationship. The search brought them to AppDynamics.
"AppDynamics provides visibility we just didn't have before. "
Jeff Brady, Product Manager at Allscripts Product Manager, Allscripts
About Allscripts
Allscripts is a leading provider of healthcare IT solutions, responsible for millions of monthly transactions supporting clinical and financial data for patients, healthcare professionals, and major providers. The company serves more than 180,000 physician users, and has solutions in 2,700 hospitals and 13,000 extended care organizations, giving healthcare professionals faster access to information they need to better care for patients. In short, it's not an environment that can afford performance slow-downs.
"The people who rely on us are doctors and other medical professionals, such as labs, insurance companies, and providers. Essentially, professionals helping people who aren't doing well," says Jeff Brady, Product Manager at Allscripts. "If we have an issue, there could be a doctor or a lab tech who can't do their job on the other end."
Clear benefits
"AppDynamics provides visibility we just didn't have before," says Brady. "For example, we had an issue regarding passwords and hunted for the cause of the problem for two weeks. When we applied AppDynamics to our system test infrastructure, we found the root cause of the failure within an hour. The problem wasn't in the code but in an unmanaged library. Issue solved."
Beyond greatly reducing their mean time to resolution, the efficiency delivered by AppDynamics has also allowed Allscripts to scale back their physical infrastructure — which helps get checks signed. Brady explains:
"Any CIO knows that providing business value to the finance team is vital before they approve a spend. We can do more with less with AppDynamics because we're better optimized. We don't need as many servers or as much memory but still get twice the performance. With the visibility we get from AppDynamics, the first choice becomes optimizing the code, which in the grand scheme is already paid for, since IT is going to be here no matter what. We're actually enhancing customer satisfaction with the same, or less money."
"We can do more with less with AppDynamics because we're better optimized. We don't need as many servers or as much memory but still get twice the performance."
One cohesive DevOps team—development, to production, to business
One other substantial benefit of partnering with AppDynamics is better teamwork between all of Allscripts' IT teams and aiding in driving a DevOps culture.
"We've developed a company with a common tool set for all the IT teams to work with, so everyone is better aligned," says Brady. "It was very important that AppDynamics didn't replace existing tools and methodologies that were working well for us, but enhanced and augmented them."
The implementation gave the team the strengthening they were looking for—especially in terms of communication and working as a team.
"We've been able to integrate AppDynamics from our developers all the way to production, and experienced an overall strengthening of engineering, development, and homestay hosting. AppDynamics makes things transparent to the whole team, which is the power."
Continues Brady, "You can't have successful DevOps unless everyone has the means to work together. Before we had the blame game, but with AppDynamics in place, the hosting team can identify the exact SQL statement or line of .NET code causing problems when the CPU experienced errant behavior. The ability to provide a time slice of what was going on gives a clear and consistent message to the Dev team. It makes it easy to find root cause and take corrective language."
A healthier future
Allscripts is working to take their industry into new frontiers that will help caregivers be even more effective.
"Healthcare is in the largest industrial revolution ever. Our patient information is scattered, so right now it's all about integration, integration, integration. The ability to have that information in one view is key to helping patients. We need to make the healthcare system more efficient nationwide."
Brady gives an example that puts the situation in startling perspective.
"Diabetes, for example, takes multiple doctor visits before being accurately diagnosed. When it goes untreated, the first thing that happens is you start to lose feeling to extremities. Then you start amputating. Then it attacks the heart and eyes. You go blind. It's a slow, horrifying death. But not if you detect it early, which is what we're helping make happen with the applications we're building."
Worst case scenarios are on the decline, and Brady envisions an even brighter future.
"A full spectrum approach to monitoring allows Allscripts' users to make quicker connections and decisions. We're currently invested in working towards the integration of Genomics into patients' charts, which can help determine the effectiveness of a given care plan. The amount of data/computing required to perform something like that is enormous, which is where a solution like AppDynamics is crucial."
It's a goal that everyone can feel proud of working towards.
"I have the best job in the world. I work at Allscripts by choice. It's not a job to me. Improvements made by Allscripts-type companies help millions of people in one fell swoop. One good thing leads to those changes. This company is full of people doing great things for other people."
"We've been able to integrate AppDynamics from our developers all the way to production, and experienced an overall strengthening of engineering, development, and homestay hosting. AppDynamics makes things transparent to the whole team, which is the power."

Why is there such a kommand as $HubIsFull when almost any hub is using it?
But that a hub don't send $HubIsFull, when full, can't be the protocols fault.
As i understand it it must be an error of them who programmed the hubsoftware and didn't send $HubIsFull when the hub is full.


Students of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda have spent the past year developing and realising a new IAS Smart Factory for IAS Industrial Automation from Zundert. The assignment was to devise a miniature concept for a realistic process that was to be equipped with new Industry 4.0 technologies, such as Profinet and IO-Link. On Friday 29 June, the students presented the result during the Grand Final at Avans University of Applied Sciences.
IAS and Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda have worked together in various fields for many years. This includes making traineeships and graduation places available, as well as supporting the courses during open days and guest lectures. The idea for the new IAS Smart Factory also began as a traineeship assignment: one Mechatronics student and one Electrical Engineering student were asked to devise and design the mechanical and electrical engineering concept for this Smart Factory. Once this was completed, the students of the Industrial Automation specialism were given the opportunity to design and realise the software for the new system at IAS.
The IAS Smart Factory demonstrates the process of a water purification plant, complete with a working screening system. Most elements of the Smart Factory were 3D printed by the 3D Pro Group from Zundert. The water purification plant is fitted with an IO-Link Master from Turck, which is connected to smart IO-Link sensors from Turck. Via Profinet, the IO-Link Master is subsequently connected to a System 800xA AC800M PLC from ABB.

John Donne Poems
A Pattern of Love's Canonization
March 26, 2019 by Essay Writer
In "The Canonization," John Donne seems to set his love apart from politics, wealth, the court life, and earthly life in general in order to align it with sanctity. He also utilizes his wit to mock commonly accepted poetic conventions, only to replace them with his own. He creates a pattern of placing love in context of birth, death, resurrection, and homage, which leads to the speaker exploring the possibility of a fantastic, metaphorical canonization into the sainthood of lovers. "The Canonization" consists of five stanzas with nine lines apiece. Each stanza serves to gradually heighten the position of the speaker's love until it reaches a canonized bliss. The rhyme scheme is abbacccd, every stanza ending with the word, "love." This is a deliberate demonstration of how the love transcends each previous position and is transformed every time it is mentioned. As a metaphysical poet, Donne uses peculiar, extravagant metaphors to display his intensity and wit, such as "We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms" (32). In the beginning stanza, the speaker is addressing an anonymous cynic of love, and particularly of the speaker's love affair. It seems that the addressee is chiding how intensely the speaker has fallen. The lover urges the skeptic to find other thoughts to occupy his mind, even if it be his physical faults: "…my palsy, or my gout,/My five grey hairs, or ruin'd fortune flout" (2-3). He then decides it is irrelevant what the addressee contemplates (the king, the arts, wealth, etc.), as long as he permits him to love without complaint. The contrast of the political and propriety-obsessed courtier, the interlocutor, serves as a valuable contrast with these unworldly and pious lovers. It is also likely that Donne is using the presence of the interlocutor as a sounding board for the sublime potential of his love, considering that the interlocutor seems to disappear after the first stanza.	Donne uses the second stanza to humorously manipulate and exaggerate the hyperbolic qualities of Petrarchan poetry. To parallel the common Petrarchan conventions, "seas of tears" and "my sighs are storms," Donne inquires, "What merchant's ships have my sighs drown'd?/Who says my tears have overflow'd this ground?" (11-12). To dismiss the common Petrarchan burning/freezing metaphors, Donne provokes, "When did my colds a forward spring remove?/When did the heats which my veins fill/Add one more to the plaguey bill?" (13-15). He then claims his love to be harmless and isolated, neither affecting nor subject to the natural world. Humanity as well seems to move forward inexorably, unaffected by his love: "Soldiers find wars, and lawyers find out still/Litigious men, which quarrels move,/Though she and I do love" (16-18). Much like a saint renounces the world for a heavenly call, Donne renounces humanity and the natural world for a transcendent love.	In the second stanza's playful parodying, there is also the implication that perhaps Petrarchan conventions have been exhausted and are now generic. After he belittles these conventions, Donne uses the next stanza to create his own fresh, imaginative metaphors for love. This stanza parallels the immensity of his love with the progression of birth, death and resurrection—that it will fulfill all of these purposes and beyond. In birth and creation, he states, "…we are made such by love" (19). In death he and his lover become insects drawn to and incinerated by the flame of love: "Call her one, me another fly" (20). He and his lover then become this flame, as two candles zealously burning themselves to their end, "We are tapers too, and at our own cost die" (21). Donne's resurrection metaphors take a bizarre twist on gender. He uses three birds, the masculine eagle, the feminine dove, and the gender neutral Phoenix, to convey how he and his lover, separated in life by sex, merge in resurrection as the same creature, "…we two being one are it./So to one neutral thing both sexes fit" (24-25). Although the female lover has no agency or voice in this poem, Donne seem to place them on an equal plane with this metaphor, creating a neutral sex in which, "We die and rise the same, and prove/Mysterious by this love" (26-27). The poetry and values of the time included the ideas that women are lesser versions of men, eventually shifting to men and women having separate natures. Therefore, this metaphor of the sexes melding into sameness is unique and radically different from Donne's usual depictions of women devoid of agency and equality. Despite this impressive gift of equality, however, Donne once again fails to give his lover a voice. Her heart and personality is not engaged. Much like the interlocutor of the first stanza, she serves as a reflection of Donne's wit. As the poem progresses, Donne's metaphorical assertions escalate until they reach their pinnacle—sainthood. The fourth stanza imagines that if the lovers' devotion is far too huge for life, only in death can its seeming limitlessness be satiated. But Donne continues to climb, for it is possible that this love is "unfit" for the morbid confines of "tombs and hearse" (29). The culmination of their love's expression will be through poetry written posthumously: "Our legend…will be fit for verse" (30). The poem becomes a full circle as it dreams of itself. The "pretty rooms" built via poesy will popularize the lovers, and the world which once scorned them will now hail them. The speaker's love expands until the only possible encompassment of it will be verse in praise of these lovers, which will inadvertently lead to their induction into a fictional sainthood of love: "And by these hymns all shall approve/Us canoniz'd for love" (36).	The second stanza of this piece tries to convey the ineffectuality of the speaker's love as a defense against those whom claim it to be a disruption. However, Donne seems to shed that argument in only 15 lines or so, for the penultimate stanza speculates that they will be canonized through verse. In addition, the last stanza claims that future lovers will one day invoke them for help, seeing them as ubiquitous and omniscient, "You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage;/Who did the whole world's soul contract…" (39-40). The speaker's vision is that of wise, saintly lovers, who are able to simultaneously view and reflect the world and are therefore able to give adequate, informed help: "…and drove into the glasses of your eyes/(So made such mirrors and such spies,/That they did all to you epitomize)" (40-43). In the first stanza, the lover seems to renounce the world and its frivolous pursuits, such as politics, wars and quarrels. This rejection of worldly preoccupations exemplifies his love as unworldly. However, once the lovers become saints, he turns back to the public sphere. He moves from referring to his love as private and meek to monumental and exemplified, "Countries, towns, courts: beg from above/A pattern of your love!" (45). The juxtaposition of love and religion in "The Canonization," a courtly love poem, along with many of Donne's other love poetry, is a subtle lead into Donne's later religious poetry, which also combines tinges of romantic love with religion to create an imitable take on holiness. In this particular poem, Donne has created a new form for sainthood, a position originally associated with chastity, restraint, and pious isolation. In the beginning of the poem, Donne proclaims the holiness of love by distinguishing it from the corruptibility of politics and wealth. Presenting love in such a holy manner lends it a sense of eternity. This love cannot be extinguished because it is as sacred and timeless as a saint's love for God. By the end, the canonized lover has equated his love with sanctity, which is created by its intensity. His unbridled, bursting love is piety's replacement, a symbol of immense devotion and fervor, which is cleansed by its own passion.

The Derby Arms was a nice old pub that was in the back streets of fallowfield.
Once inside there were a couple of small rooms,i had a drink in the bar which was quite a nice room,this pub used to be a Wilsons tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Joseph Holts bitter and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Wilsons bitter.
I thought this was a really nice pub with very nice beer and i think it is a shame that it has now closed down.

I've frequently discussed the concept of intersectionality in my series of columns in The New People about organizing. It's one of my favorite words and topics. Today, however, I'd like to take on another "inter" word – one that usually goes overlooked. Today, let's talk about intergenerational work.
Those of us who have been activists for a long time have experience. We've seen campaigns for social justice that have worked, and have learned (hopefully) from the ones that have not. We've marched, written letters, boycotted, lobbied, protested, and even possibly done civil disobedience and street theatre. Some of us have grown weary of having to keep doing the same campaigns over and over, as, for example, new challenges to women's rights pop up. As we age, other obligations sometimes stop us from dedicating as much time to causes.
This is where the next generation (or generations!) of activists come in. They're younger, and have fresh, innovative ideas on how to run campaigns. Not having the years behind them of protesting, they're motivated to keep trying. There's just one big problem – adults usually won't listen to them. I've even heard a story of one particular politician who wouldn't give the time of day to anyone under voting age – clearly not thinking that they may reach voting age some day!
In my recent work with teens, I have found myself being infected by their enthusiasm and passion for justice. Having been involved in various forms of activism since I was 8 years old, I see both sides of intergenerational problems. While I still consider myself young (under 35), I've been around the block more than a few times in my activist life, seeing some issues seem to make no progress over the past two+ decades. It's easy to get fed up, but the teens in our program have helped turn things around for me. I'm passionate again, and want to make a change.
So, how can we help bridge the gap between the younger activists and the older activists? The first big step is to acknowledge how valuable youth voices are in our various movements for justice. We will not be around forever. Neither will they. The more respect we give to youth, the more they will pass on to future generations. This street goes two ways, though. The youth, or those new to social justice work, also need to acknowledge the value in the voices of those of us who have more experience. This is not to say that we all need to agree! However, by respecting each other, and actively listening to each other, we create an environment of trust and openness.
Let's discuss listening for a moment by using a hypothetical situation. A meeting is called to launch a campaign against a new injustice. The facilitator sees a number of familiar faces, but also a fair chunk of new ones, mostly teenagers. It's been my experience that in this case, the facilitator tends to call on those people s/he knows, leaving out the voices of the teens. Due to this type of treatment, subsequent meetings have less and less participation by new people, until it is only the familiar ones in the room. One way to address this is to have everyone wear nametags and introduce themselves before the meeting officially begins. Being addressed by name, rather than "You there, in the back," makes a world of difference. Another tactic would be for facilitators to make an effort to call on someone they do not know to speak first, and to ensure that they maintain a good balance between familiar and new voices.
You can also show respect by asking each other what the best way to communicate with them is. The younger the audience, the more likely it is that we prefer organizing via social media rather than in-person meetings, and that we tend to prefer texts to emails. So clarify – how does the person you're talking to wish to stay involved? Be as flexible as possible in respecting each others' wishes, whether it's a text, email, or old-fashioned phone call.
Finally, learn from one another. For those of you new to the movement, those of us who have been active for years have great stories, and are a wealth of resources and experience. For us old-timers, we need to resist the urge to dismiss new tactics and strategies, and stop relying on "We've always done it this way." The bottom line? Listen to each other.

Objectives. This study compared the effect of change in action potential duration versus conduction velocity on atrial flutter cycle length to determine whether there is a fully or partially excitable gap in atrial flutter.
Background. In an excitable gap reentrant circuit, cycle length is proportional to conduction velocity. Action potential duration is not a direct determinant of cycle length when the gap is fully excitable.
Methods. Right atrial monophasic action potentials were recorded from 41 patients during type I atrial flutter before and during pharmacologic interventions.
Results. Adenosine *17 ± 3 mg [mean ± SD] shortened (p < 0.001) action potential duration but did not change cycle length. Edrophonium (10 mg) had no significant effect on action potential duration or cycle length. Isoproterenol (0.03 μg/kg body weight per min) shortened (p < 0.05) and procainamide (15 mg/kg, then 2 mg/min) prolonged (p < 0.001) action potential duration and cycle length. Alterations in cycle length were not correlated with changes in action potential duration. Procainamide's prolongation of action potential duration was reversed by adenosine without affecting cycle length. Procainamide's prolongation of action potential duration and cycle length was partially reversed by isoproterenol. Adenosine's and isoproterenol's shortening of action potential duration and isoproterenol's shortening of cycle length were enhanced by procainamide.
Conclusion. Atrial flutter cycle length is determined primarily by conduction velocity and does not depend directly on action potential duration. Atrial flutter has a fully excitable gap, and procainamide does not convert the gap from full to partial excitability. Adenosine and isoproterenol interact with procainamide such that their effects are enhanced and procainamide's effects are diminished.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Irene McCaugherty was a self-taught artist, writer, and poet. Her folk-art paintings explore the people and cultural narrative of southern Alberta's pioneer days in the later part of the 19th and early 20th century. She recorded the daily happenings of life in early Alberta with humour and colour, and invited viewers to enter her world of auction sales, musical rides, road building, small town life, and ranching. McCaugherty often painted in an unusual dimension, long and narrow. That rectangular shape reflected the view she had out the window of her pick-up truck, as she drove around southern Alberta to capture the stories of the people and the places she called home. Her watercolours do not conform to traditional one-point perspective, and she found a voice that was uniquely hers, capturing the imagined past and invented history of life on the prairie. She created more than 1,000 paintings before her death in 1996, many of which have been donated by her family to the Lethbridge College Campus where they are on display in the Founders' Square Space. For many years, McCaugherty wrote a newspaper column for the Lethbridge Herald called "Diary of a Farmer's Wife" about cowboy life on her ranch in the Porcupine Hills of Alberta. She also self-published three books and one recording of her stories, poetry, and paintings. McCaugherty received an Alberta Achievement award in 1992, and an Honourary Doctor of Law degree from the University of Lethbridge in 1995, for her work preserving the history of Southern Alberta. Her art can be found at the Galt Museum and Archives in Lethbridge, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
