More Teen Sex Less Pregnancy Disease And Drama
Last Updated on Mon, 26 Aug 2019 | Teen Pregnancy
Revive Her Drive
Are more teens having sex, getting pregnant, getting diseases, and suffering debilitating emotional consequences from sexual experimentation? We begin with an interesting conundrum. Teens today do report having more sex at younger ages than their parents or grandparents did (or admitted to), but today's teens appear to suffer far fewer consequences from sex than did past generations.
A trend often cited as confirming cultural degeneration is reported in the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), whose latest survey finds around 25 percent of 15 year-old girls say they have had sex at least once, compared to fewer than 5 percent in 1970.12 Among all girls age 15 to 19, the proportion affirming their own nonvirginity rose from 29 percent in 1970 to nearly half today. A small part of this increase might be due to the falling age of puberty.
Alternatively, all that maybe occurring is that today's teenagers are more likely to report on surveys that they have had sex. If you do not automatically take surveys at face value, you would find some puzzlers in this trend interesting. For example, in 1970 more than twice as many 15-year-old boys than girls that age told the NSFG they had had sex, a proportion which fell to 1.7-to-1 by 1988,1.1-to-1 in 1995, and dead even today. There are several contradictory and implausible explanations for such a trend, but the most reasonable is that boys were exaggerating and girls, at least on earlier surveys, were minimizing their experiences. To borrow from Tom Wolfe, girls' shamelessness now matches boys'.
But Pipher, Elkind, the Media Education Foundation, and other shockees immediately blamed "toxic" modern culture of salacious images luring ever-corruptible young teens to defy their wise parents to sink into unheard-of debaucheries. More plausible correlates, such as the enormous growth in divorce, extramarital sex, and unwed birth rates among adults over the last 40 years have been too uncomfortable for the pop commentariat to engage.
Yet, taking the NSFG at face value, virtually all of the growth in sex among young teens occurred during the 1970s and early 1980s. That is, it was sparked by the mothers of today's teen girls long before the advent of the post-1990 "toxic culture" blamed for sexing up modern teens. Whatever junior-high sexual revolution there was happened from 25 to 40 years ago, in an era politically dominated by the Reagan presidency and culturally dominated by videogames such as Pong and the cartoonish Super Mario Brothers and mostly-innocuous television programs led by Happy Days and The Cosby Show.
Indeed, after peaking in the late 1980s and early 1990s at around 30 percent, teen sex then declined during the 1990s and 2000s. By 2007, 25 percent of girls said they had sex before age 16. For all girls, the most recent (2009) Centers for Disease Control report points out that "the percentage of high school students who ever had sexual intercourse (i.e., sexual experience) decreased from 54.1 percent in 1991 to 47.8 percent in 2007." That is, as nearly all of the objectionable cultural trends proliferated over the last two decades, the proportion of teens having sex decreased.
The most important trend, if the NSFG figures are accurate, is that the rate of pregnancy among sexually active younger-teen girls has fallen by over 80 percent since the 1970s. That is, as the rate of sexual activity among girls age 15 and younger supposedly multiplied several-fold, the rate of pregnancies among girls that age fell by half. That trend would make the young-teen contraceptive revolution even more astounding than the so-called sexual revolution.
One fascinating development drawn from combining the best measures available, as discussed in the following chapters, is that girls' higher level of acknowledged sexual activity accompanied dramatically increased academic, job, and leadership status of young women and dramatic decreases in self-destructive behaviors. These developments all seem to be part of the larger girl revolution detailed in Chapter 7.
If more teens today have sex at younger ages, what would we expect to result? The consequences experts claim are connected to younger-teen sexual activity include more pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), exposure to sexual violence such as rape, and emotional trauma. What do real outcomes show? Just the opposite.
Table 6.1 shows the trends since 1930, around the time when the national birth registration system first became reasonably complete.14 Teen birth rates (the only outcome consistently reported) are at their lowest levels today since the first national statistics compiled 90 years ago, while pregnancy rates are at their lowest level since first reliably reported in 1973. Regardless of what teens say they do, clearly measurable outcomes from teenage sex stand at all-time lows, and the youngest teens show the biggest declines. A good case could be made that Boomer and older Generation-Xer teens had trouble with sexual activity, but younger Xers and Millennial teens have dramatically fewer outcomes.
In any case, we might as well toss sex surveys aside and deal with the outcome measures. After all, it is the outcomes that are important, not the yes/ no marks teens make on pieces of paper.

Upon the realization that 50 percent meant "half," Paul Simon terminated his wildly successful partnership with Art Garfunkel. Anyone who was paying attention to the quality of the writing on those Simon & Garfunkel albums shouldn't have been surprised by Simon's rapid emergence as a solo artist of the first order. His self-titled solo debut is a vibrant, eclectic affair that expands on the artistic developments of his former work while exploring new musical horizons.
The elliptical "Mother and Child Reunion" is surely one of the first American pop flirtations with Jamaican music. "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" is similarly groundbreaking for its time in its use of Latin rhythms (a move Simon would eventually repeat on "Late in the Evening"). These cultural excursions foreshadow the road Simon would take decades later on GRACELAND. There are also some good old neurotic singer-songwriter tunes, like the sardonic "Run That Body Down," which stands up with the best work of Randy Newman, whose approach it recalls.

I am trying to define via in substrate, but in metalization tab the via button is always grey. It never gets colored to let me add via. I can only add strip or slot in metalization layer. I have no idea how to make via. Could somebody please tell me what can I do ? I am using ADS 2004A.
For my case, which I open RT_durroid_5880 substrate and use that, I can get a via by modifying the duroid substrate. Once the substrate's been opened I go to create/modify, and select Default_0 in the layer mapping list. Then I set the layout layer to 'hole' and then via is un-greyed. I think the problem is that you may be using the same layer as the top conductor. As a results the via is never allowed.
to define a via correctly you have to map a layout layer (e.g. "diel") to the substrate layer through which the via is drilled and metalized.
When defining your metalization layers you have to click directly onto the substrate layer (in this case line 3), then you should be able to map a layout layer (in this case "diel) for the via into the substrate.
Also have a look at the examples, e.g.
There you can find the correct layer setups for structures containing vias.

Getting The Ventilation Right In Old – Or New – Livestock Buildings
by Davidsw1 | Oct 30, 2012 | News
Getting the ventilation right in old – or new – livestock buildings is critical to animal health and productivity. But finding the right balance between fresh air and a chilling draught can be difficult. As a result, cows and youngstock can suffer from health challenges like respiratory diseases, mastitis and poor growth rates.
According to Jamie Robertson, research fellow at Aberdeen University, more than half of our livestock buildings are not fit for purpose – and even new builds are often flawed in their design. "There are three key things we need to pay attention to in buildings: Moisture, fresh air, and air speed."
The first place to reduce moisture is on the floor, says Mr Robertson. "If the floor is your problem, don't expect better ventilation to sort it out. Most farmers allow far too much rainwater to get dirty, which means more slurry to handle, and a greater bio-security risk. Wet and dirty floors also result in higher bedding costs, foot problems and mastitis. Fix your gutters and downpipes, and harvest or divert water away from collecting areas."
As warm moist air rises, all livestock sheds need a hole in the roof – usually along the ridge. "As a rule of thumb, you need 0.04sq m per calf, and 0.1sq m per adult or fast growing youngster. Plus you need twice as much air inlet on the side walls – the aim is to have fresh air delivery to as many parts of the building as possible."
Solid walls up to cow height will protect animals from draughts – and air inlets should be diffuse to prevent wind cutting through the house, he adds. "Space boarding should never have more than an inch gap, and choose the best design for local weather conditions. If you can't open up the wall, you may need to install fans and ducts to get the required air flow."
The building use must also be considered. "There are additional problems when housing calves – you need fresh air to help prevent pneumonia, but too much air flow means they will get cold." Many new buildings are too large for calf housing, so farmers should install ventilated kennels to keep the calves warm, says Mr Robertson. "Often, old calf sheds are ideal because they are low and warm – you just need to open up some gaps in the walls and roof to improve ventilation."
Arwel Davies milks 250 Friesian Holstein cows with his wife Mary and son Hywel at Pantswllt Farm, Talgarreg, Ceredigion, and has reared youngstock in a number of different buildings. "We have old cow sheds at the home farm, where calves stay for the first three months," he says. "The sheds are ideally located, but aren't ideal in design, so we have to use forced ventilation to try and prevent pneumonia.
About 10 years ago, Mr Davies expanded his dairy and beef enterprise, and put up a 120ft x 60ft barn at a nearby rearing unit. "We are now rearing about 150 replacements and beef crossbreds, plus 40 dairy bulls a year. We move the calves up to the unit at three months old, and move them into the cubicle building as yearlings."
Having used wooden boarding in the past, he decided to try a perforated metal wall called Highlight instead, to improve light and ventilation at a similar cost and lifespan. "I have been very pleased with it. It gives a better flow of air, and makes the building light and airy as well. You can see straight through it to the outside."
Although the vented wall is on the South West face, 900ft up and in an exposed position, it does protect against the wind and rain, he adds. "We have got a five-foot concrete wall with 10 foot of Highlight above it. We were surprised at how little wetness gets in – the cubicles get damp maybe two or three days over the entire winter. We've never had any health problems – the youngstock do very well up there."
Mr Davies had previously tried rearing youngstock in a large clearspan building – with limited success. "It was too big – it just didn't work. We tried making a building within a building with straw bales, but the calves just didn't do well there."
About three years ago he replaced 180ft of walling on the Eastern side of the cubicle shed at home. "We had used Ventair, but replaced it with Highlight, which has brightened up the building and improved the air flow. The better the ventilation the healthier the animals – I think Highlight is a big step forward."

Ever thought about what stops a burglar from breaking into your home? Burglars can vary from what type of burglar they are. They all are different from how they act and what lengths they are willing to go through to break into your home. A good way to be prepared for a burglar is the obvious, to have a security system. That's only the first step to be protected but there are other things you can do to ensure your never really have to use your alarm system in an emergency, especially if you're in the home.
The sign usually does the trick. It lets people know that you are protected. Keep your home security yard sign visible and in from of your home. Sometimes if you have a corner lot you can place one on the side of your home as well. Protect America offers solar yard signs that are even visible at night!
Have a dog or puppy? Put a "beware of dog" sign on your fence or window. This shows that you may or may not have a dog that is vicious. Most burglars might feel threatened. It's a classic scare tactic, but it does work.
Leave a light on in your home. If you're okay with running your electric bill up slightly (this shouldn't be too bad if you're using energy efficient florescent light bulbs); you can leave a light that's visible from an out-looker viewing your home. Usually a light on means someone is home. Most burglars won't even attempt to make an entry.
Place these in the front of your home, anywhere within walking distance of entry ways to your home. Someone walks in front of one, and bam! The lights turn on, they usually walk away or don't even attempt to break in.
Don't let strangers see what valuables you have. Keep windows and blinds closed especially when you're not home.
Those are just a few of our top tips. Deterring burglars isn't always possible, but making sure you do everything you can to have peace of mind is what counts. Most of these things are probably some things that you practice but remember, always use your alarm system.

Q: Different `next` entry of ConcurrentHashMap in JDK 1.6 and JDK 1.7 In JDK 1.6, Doug Lea uses final preceding the next field.
static final class HashEntry<K,V> {
    final K key;
    final int hash;
    volatile V value;
    final HashEntry<K,V> next;

Whereas in JDK 1.7, the next field is preceded by volatile. I also notice that in JDK 1.7, the get method adopts getObjectVolatile method to read the value field, which has the volatile load semantics.
I have no sense why Doug Lea previously uses final. If there are problems with correctness, then how could he replace it with volatile in JDK 1.7(also JDK 1.8)?
Edit:
Specifically, my question is that could we replace final with volatile in JDK 1.6's implementation?

A: For your first question:

I have no sense why Doug Lea previously uses final. If there are
  problems with correctness, then how could he replace it with volatile
  in JDK 1.7(also JDK 1.8)?

It wasn't a matter of correctness. Both implementations are correct in terms of thread-safety.  What was trying to be solved was reducing the initial footprint of the CHM.  In Java 6, making the next field final required the object be created with at least a place holder.  This caused excessive empty object creation and so was changed to offer create-when-needed semantics.

Specifically, my question is that could we replace final with volatile
  in JDK 1.6's implementation?

Certainly as long as the operations continue to be sequentially consistent, which they are.

One of Doug Lea's comments touches on this design change
 /*
 * ...
 * Historical note: The previous version of this class relied
 * heavily on "final" fields, which avoided some volatile reads at
 * the expense of a large initial footprint.  Some remnants of
 * that design (including forced construction of segment 0) exist
 * to ensure serialization compatibility.
 */

So to answer another question you are probably having, why was final chosen initially? To prevent some volatile reads later on.

A: It is not a matter of replacing final with volatile. Like RealSkeptic it was changed among many other methods. The purpose might be the optimization of ConcurrentHashMap.remove(). In JDK1.6 the list that stores bucket (objects grouped by hashcode) is CopyOnWrite so inside remove() part of list is copied, in JDK1.7 only next pointer is changed.

A Golden Cane for the visually impaired
By Zhang Zhouxiang | China Daily | Updated: 2021-10-05 10:52
Share - WeChat
Emerging from the Golden Cane program, my colleague and I took the subway. There we saw Chen Yan, a visually impaired piano tuner, being led by her guide dog, Jenny. Quite a coincidence, one must say, given that there are just 200 such dogs guiding the visually impaired in China. To get a perspective, there are over 1,800 pandas in the wild alone.
A security official who was passing by stopped once to look at Jenny before moving on. That's a positive development. But the transition did not happen overnight. Chen and Jenny had been refused entry into the subway 11 times before they were finally let in once the rules changed in 2015.
A lot more has changed. Since the 1980s, the visually impaired could only try entry into a college that taught music or massage, till they were finally allowed to sit for the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, in 2014.
Now several visually impaired people have cleared gaokao and are studying in universities, majoring in subjects of their choice, ranging from education to economics to political science. And after a good academic performance, they are also landing good jobs.
The policy progress apart, the social environment too has improved for the visually impaired. Golden Cane's latest workshop was conducted in a residential community in Beijing's Fengtai district. The visually impaired trainees were put up at a hotel across the road, and they had to cross a footbridge and then walk 300 meters to reach the classroom.
Initially, vendors blocked the path meant for use by the visually impaired. They refused to budge even on seeing the visually impaired trainees arrive. But they gave in and cleared the way on seeing their determination as the visually impaired kept trudging on despite the obstacles. Soon the community residents chipped in to ensure the path was clear for the trainees.
At the hotel where they were putting up, the waiters initially feared the visually impaired trainees might hit something and hurt themselves, apart from damaging something.
A week later, however, they were amazed to see how independent and confident their visually impaired guests were. The hosts had just to step aside to make way for them sometimes, while dissuading anyone who tried to help them by reminding them to treat the visually impaired guests as equals.
Equal access to education, fair treatment while applying for jobs, and acceptance in society are helping the visually impaired people overcome difficulties and live normal lives in China. However, a lot more remains to be done. Around 17 million people, or 1 percent of the total population, are visually impaired in China, yet they are seldom seen at public places.
Many paths initially meant for use by them remain blocked, many companies still refuse to hire them, and many people still do not treat them as equals. All these make it difficult for them to step out and face the world.
That's why it made sense to highlight Golden Cane's efforts to help the visually impaired join the mainstream. Only when more people learn of the problems the visually impaired face will they help in their assimilation in society. That is when being visually impaired will cease to be an obstacle for so many.

Joseph Fogerty, CE, FRIBA, was an Irish civil engineer, architect, and novelist active in mid-to-late-nineteenth-century Limerick, London, and Vienna.

Born in Limerick, he studied under his father, engineer John Fogerty in Limerick before entering the University College, London in 1856, later working in London for Sir John Fowler.  He was elected Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 9 February 1880 after being proposed by Henry Currey, Edwin Nash and Charles Barry.  Three of his novels, Lauterdale, Caterina and Countess Irene, were published. He died at his house, Enderby, in Sydenham.

He was the brother and uncle of architects William Fogerty and John Frederick Fogerty, respectively. He married Hannah Cochrane (d. 1910), of Limerick and they had a daughter, Elsie Fogerty (born in Sydenham on 16 December 1865), who became a notable teacher of speech.

The Age of Predictive Simulation has Arrived
This is an exciting time of change for businesses in every industry. The urgency to drive improved customer value at lower cost through the use of new disruptive digital technologies, including Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), is forcing the rapid creation of new operating models in every sector and every geography. Static spreadsheets and rear-view business measures are no longer valid for assessing such complex change options, Industry now recognises that predictive analytical methods are needed.
To be the global leader in developing and deploying, scalable simulation applications to deliver smart business.
- David Jones, CEO -
Lanner has been working with visionary companies since its inception in 1996, deploying predictive simulation capabilities and model assets that support decision making and enable smart business processes that best balance service delivery and cost. We understand the issues facing organisations in an increasingly complex and digitally connected world. We're passionate about connecting people to their business, its data and processes, empowering them to make smarter choices for a better future. Our predictive simulation models and technology inspire confidence in change and outcome certainty across the full design, create, operate and improve lifecycle.
We remove the costs in developing new concepts and risk from greenfield developments
Virtual models simplify coordinating developments and managing project communication
Real time visibility into business processes provides the insight needed for agile business planning
Simulation provides analysis of existing operations so that costs and performance can be optimized
In January 2019, Lanner was acquired by Royal HaskoningDHV, a Dutch Engineering and Project Management consultancy, as part of their strategy to expand their digital capabilities and offer clients greater support when making critical business decisions.
With both company cultures and vision aligned, Royal HaskoningDHV and Lanner are able to add additional value to their customers operating in diverse sectors across the world. The predictive simulation technology provided by Lanner supports and strengthens Royal HaskoningDHV's focus on building its digital twin offering.
Lanner's WITNESS software provides optimisation capabilities, together with scenario management functionality. When combined with Royal HaskoningDHV's broader digital capabilities, clients can be supported with a predictive digital twin that is able to hunt for the optimum balance between customer service levels and operational costs.
Lanner's Mission
From inception, Lanner has been seen as a visionary, through our leading predictive simulation technology and for the innovative assets delivered to our ambitious customers. Our mission has been consistent - to enable smart dynamic businesses with smart dynamic processes. We've developed a powerful and agile capability to deliver on this mission across many different industries, having created value for every sector within which we've engaged.
We are neither a software nor a consulting company. The capability we've developed is a blend of both. This is a balance that many firms will strive for as they seek to bolt on data science and analytics into business-as-usual operations. Many leading consulting firms are now looking to blend decision-support technologies into their expertise-driven business models for the same reason. Being seamlessly agile on the technology, analytics and people front will be essential for many firms in the future.
To drive greater senior-level engagement and collaboration we've invested in technology developments to enable us to perform this virtual world business process gamification at a fully immersive level. Firms such as Hayward Tyler have used this to support strategic business transformation and subsequent intelligent business operations management. Highly visual engagement with the end-to-end business process owners secures collaborative engagement across all stakeholders, including management, customers, investors and employees. This style of collaboration will drive the agile, adaptive business of the future.
Lanner was formed by a management buyout from AT&T in 1996, and is now recognized as the world's leading predictive simulation and optimization technology company. Our mission remains to pioneer predictive simulation, empowering people to create a better future for their business through smarter decision making.
We deserve our strong reputation and track record of creating customer value. We've spent years repeatedly delivering simulation-based planning and decision support to customers and partners, across many different industries and business processes.
Our ability to solve a wide spectrum of business problems is a result of the agility and flexibility that has been consciously built into our technology and team. We are a safe pair of hands with the experience, technology and skills to deliver model assets that improve decision-making, enhance revenues, reduce costs, and optimize operations.

SA Labor calls for lifetime ban on carer
Tim Dornin
The South Australian opposition has written to the state and federal governments calling for a lifetime ban on the carer charged with the manslaughter of disabled Adelaide woman Ann Marie Smith.
Rosa Maria Maione was last week banned from working with disabled people for five years and from providing disability support and services, directly or indirectly to National Disability Insurance Scheme participants.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission said the ban would allow for adequate time for the criminal proceedings to be completed and would be reviewed at that time.
But Opposition human services spokeswoman Nat Cook said the governments should intervene now to ban Maione for life.
"Nothing short of a permanent ban is acceptable in the eyes of the community," Ms Cook said on Tuesday.
"The quality and safeguards commission must review this decision and send a strong message that the treatment Ann Marie Smith received will not be tolerated."
Ms Smith, who had cerebral palsy, died in hospital in April from septic shock, multiple organ failure, severe pressure sores and malnourishment while under the care of the NDIS.
Police allege the 54-year-old died of serious criminal neglect and her death was preventable.
Maione will return to court in April next year when prosecutors will make a final charge determination, with the Director of Public Prosecutions given until February to prepare the initial brief of evidence.
She was granted home detention bail in September with a condition of her release that she not seek to work as a carer.

Der EDIWHEEL-Standard (engl. Electronic Data Interchange und Wheel = "Rad") wurde als Branchenstandard für den Reifenhandel entwickelt. In einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen Händlern, Software-Herstellern und der Reifenindustrie wurden zuerst auf Basis des EANCOM-Subsets die spezifischen Anforderungen für die Prozesse von der Bestandsabfrage über die Bestellung bis hin zur Rechnungstellung analysiert und in EDI-Prozessen dokumentiert. EDIWHEEL umfasst zusätzlich zu den klassischen asynchronen EDI-Prozessen auf EDIFACT Basis auch synchrone System-zu-System-Prozesse, die über verschiedene Kommunikationswege bis hin zu XML über HTTP abgewickelt werden können.

Einsatzgebiet
Der EDIWHEEL-Standard wird in der Reifenindustrie für Geschäftsprozesse zwischen Reifenhandel und der -industrie genutzt. Der Standard wird von vielen Reifenherstellern unterstützt. Voraussetzung auf Seiten des Reifenhandels ist eine der zahlreichen Warenwirtschafts-Software, die den Standard unterstützt.

Entwicklung
Die Arbeiten an dem Standard wurden in einem Arbeitskreis erstmals 1999 auf Initiative des BRV (Bundesverband des Vulkanisierungsbetriebe) und des wdk (Wirtschaftsverband der deutschen Kautschukindustrie) aufgenommen.

There are more than 15 million commercial trucks transporting over 70% of all U.S. goods every year. This high number of commercial trucks on the road experience a lot of unfortunate accidents.
Despite FMCSA's best efforts in implementing rules and regulations to avoid such incidents and improve driver/vehicle safety, there's been a 20% increase in the number of commercial truck accidents over the past decade.
In this post, we drill down why do these accidents happen and is there a pattern to it.
The Truck Crash Causation Study reported over 12,000 commercial truck crashes over a span of almost three years, which resulted in more than 249 deaths and 1,654 injuries. 73% of those crashes involved a large truck colliding with at least one other vehicle.
"An action or inaction by the drivers of the truck or the other vehicles involved were important reasons leading to crashes in a large majority of the cases", the study reveals.
And several other factors that could contribute to the accident.
According to the 33-month long survey, there were approximately 12,000 fatalities and injury crashes nationwide that involved at least one large commercial truck. The most commonly recorded critical reason behind the crash was driver error. As shown in the following table, the top four critical reasons were non-performance, failure in recognition, indecision, and bad performance.
The driver fell asleep, was disabled by a heart attack or seizure, or was physically impaired for another reason.
The driver was inattentive, was distracted by something inside or outside the vehicle, or failed to observe the situation adequately for some other reason.
The driver was driving too fast for conditions, misjudged the speed of other vehicles, or followed other vehicles too closely.
The driver panicked, overcompensated, or exercised poor directional control.
Falling asleep or experiencing driver fatigue can lead to unnecessary risks and and can often lead to accidents. Unrealistic schedules and expectations of trucking companies that encourage drivers to hurry, despite safety risks involved, are the main culprits behind these crashes.
Although the exact causes can be manifold and the crashes are usually a result of many interlinked factors, the most common reason is still the driver's physical or mental exhaustion. According to the survey, major factors behind these crashes are fatigue and speeding to meet the deadlines. These factors combined with other factors, such as driver experience, highway condition, poor weather conditions, and vehicle design, etc. can increase the risk of a crash.
The following table shows a total of 19 associated factors that were coded most frequently for large truck accidents.
Of the 19 factors listed in Table 2, 15 are driver-related factors. Those 15 factors can be divided into two major groups.
One group — fatigue and illness — reflects the condition of the driver before the crash.
The second group — excessive speed, inadequate surveillance, illegal maneuver, inattention, distraction (outside the truck and inside the truck), and following too close — reflects driving mistakes. We see that most of the crashes involve more group-one problems, in which drivers' are suffering and are not to be blamed.
Other associated factors involved problems with trucks, such as brake problems, traffic flow interruptions like congestion and previous crashes, prescription drug use, traveling too fast for conditions, unfamiliarity with roadway, over-the-counter drug use, inadequate surveillance, and fatigue.
The job of a commercial truck driver can be very stressful and the long hours are exceptionally hard. Some fleet managers often exploit the drivers' hours of service and pressurize them into working longer shifts without little to zero breaks. It's also tragic that most fatalities involve the truck driver himself, which is tragic and horrible.
Driver fatigue and illness is also the main reason behind crashes that occur between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle (car, van, pickup, sport utility vehicle etc.) Most of the data indicated that the commercial truck drivers were subject to adverse physical conditions more often, before the crashes occurred.
As the truck drivers rush to meet their tough deadlines, they are more prone to meet accidents. The loss of lives and the physical, emotional, financial pain associated with such accidents can be avoided if simple precautions and adjustments are made associated with the commercial trucks, their drivers, and the fleet managers.
Federal regulations limit the amount of time a commercial truck driver can log driving per week. There is a maximum 11-hour driving limit allowed for truckers carrying cargo after a consecutive 10 hours off duty. This is to help prevent driver fatigue and give drivers a chance to get the adequate amount of sleep or the rest they need. Often scheduled routes included hundreds, if not thousands of miles, and this can wear on even the most experienced drivers.
An even simpler solution to avoid such tragic accidents and to decrease the stress on the commercial truck drivers is to shift to electronic logging devices, which make the process of logging very easy. The fatigue caused by filling and maintaining a proper paper log will be immediately eradicated, and the process would become automatic with the help of an ELD. So drivers will have one less thing to worry about. ELD providers like KeepTruckin have extra features that make drivers' jobs much easier and also warn them if they are approaching a violation, which significantly decreases the risk of an accident.
The KeepTruckin mobile app can help you avoid such accidents. Drivers who use the KeepTruckin mobile app have features that warn you when you are approaching a violation that may cause an accident.
You can download the free KeepTruckin app for Android and iPhone.
As a fleet manager, you can also request a demo for the KeepTruckin ELD, and a product specialist will get in touch with you with all the information you need. The KeepTruckin ELD system has many amazing features that make fleet managers' lives easier.

Q: Using `push` to create a field array in laravel I want to add a field array to mongoDB in laravel. I use push to create an array field. And I did it the following way:
public function addFieldByUser($id)
    {
        $product = Product::find($id);
        if (empty($product)) {
            abort(404);
        }
        if (!isset($product->image['productC'])) {
            $product->push("image.productC", []);
        }
    }

I have successfully added the field productC in mongoDB, and here are the results:
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("6295eb7210b4ec7cb72c9426"),
    "name" : "test",
    "image" : {
        "productA" : [
            {
                "_id" : "6295eb6c8e88fb54231e66c3",
                "link" : "https://example.com",
                "image" : "dc1c94e421d4ab6a592bcae33ec97345.jpg",
                "externalLink" : true
            }
        ],
        "productB" : [
            {
                "_id" : "6295eb957cb6f9350f0f0de5",
                "link" : "https://example.com",
                "image" : "1ccd4b1d7601a3beb213eb5b42c5d9bf.jpg",
                "externalLink" : true
            }
        ],
        "productC" : [
            []
        ]
    }
}

But inside productC there is one more sub-array. But my original intention was to add field productC as an empty array
I would like to have a result like this:
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("6295eb7210b4ec7cb72c9426"),
    "name" : "test",
    "image" : {
        "productA" : [
            {
                "_id" : "6295eb6c8e88fb54231e66c3",
                "link" : "https://example.com",
                "image" : "dc1c94e421d4ab6a592bcae33ec97345.jpg",
                "externalLink" : true
            }
        ],
        "productB" : [
            {
                "_id" : "6295eb957cb6f9350f0f0de5",
                "link" : "https://example.com",
                "image" : "1ccd4b1d7601a3beb213eb5b42c5d9bf.jpg",
                "externalLink" : true
            }
        ],
        "productC" : []
    }
}

Anyone please give me any suggestions, I'm new to mongoDB so it's really giving me a hard time. Thank you very much

A: Push doesn't make sense here. push implies that you have an array that you want to add a value to. But here you just want to initialise an array, so you'll have to use another method.
(Also notably if you use push on an eloquent model it'll also save it to the database)
You could do something like $product->image['productC'] = []
And then $product->save() if you want to save it


If you want to read Japanese, you need to start by learning hiragana, the 46 characters that make up Japanese's basic 'alphabet'. And there are a plethora of apps to help you on your way. The problem is...well, lots of them are quite boring. Hiragana Pixel Party breaks that mould with an addictive little rhythm game that is actually good fun.
As kana characters appear on screen, you listen to the sound of each character, and then tap in time with the beat to successfully jump over obstacles. So it's a musical running game that also happens to be teaching you to read the characters.
I'm going to go out a limb here and say Hiragana Pixel Party is probably the most fun you can have learning hiragana (and katakana). Unless you don't like chiptunes, I guess...?
Mindsnacks is a series of smartphone learning games for different foreign languages. You start with a couple of games, and unlock more by completing tasks.
The games themselves are pretty fun, and easy to get the hang of. You spell vocab words in hiragana by tapping on squeaky little chipmunks in the right order, or match words and meanings by spinning the cubes of a totem pole. So, it's basically vocab matching, gamified.
You can also choose between romaji, kana, and kanji when learning words, which is a nice touch.
The only downside with Mindsnacks (apart from the fact it's for iPhone/iPad only - sorry...) is that I do find it a bit repetitive. To try it as a beginner, I downloaded the Mandarin app too, and felt like I was being tested too many times on the same words before the app was satisfied that I'd "mastered" them.
It is a fun set of games, though, and worth checking out. You can try out one lesson for free - to unlock all 50 lessons is £3.99.
Dr. Moku claims to be able to teach you hiragana and katakana in one hour, through mnemonics and quizzes. I like the illustrations - they're cute (and sometimes creepy, but in a funny way, which is helpful for committing the images to memory).
The Dr. Moku app is pretty slick, and gets bonus points from me for the interface and character design, but you'll need to get the full version (£3.99-£5.99) if you want all the characters.
Less of a game and more of a learning aid, this app from the Japan Foundation Kansai has mnemonics and varied quizzes to test yourself on the reading and sound of the hiragana. There's a separate app for katakana too - but the best part though is that they're both FREE!
Tae Kim's grammar guide is a comprehensive reference to (you guessed it) Japanese grammar. It started life as a website before taking flight in app form for iOS. Having this app on your phone is like carrying around a searchable textbook that you can look things up on at any time. And it's free! Yay!
Don't be scared by the kanji - you can tap on underlined words and the reading and English meaning appear in a nifty pop-up.
↓ It's pretty nifty generally, actually.
What I like about the guide is that it attempts to explain grammar "not from English but from a Japanese point of view". So, instead of translating Japanese sentences into natural, long-winded English, it tells us what the sentence is saying (and no more).
↓ You go Tae Kim!
You probably won't want to read it from start to finish (although some people do), but it's great for double-checking something you're not sure on, or for when you need a quick refresher. For looking things up on the go you can't get much better than this.
I read in the front of a dictionary once (a paperback one) that all you need to learn a language is a good teacher and a good dictionary. And that's why essential app number 5 and a half is...a dictionary!
Sure, you could just fire up a web-based dictionary like jisho.org - but if you've got the space for it, having offline access to a dictionary is more useful than you might think. It won't eat all your data, and you can still use it on top of Mt. Fuji.
There are loads and loads of free Japanese dictionaries for smartphones. Imi wa is deservedly popular for iPhone, or you could try JED or Akebi on Android. The best thing to do is just download as many free ones as you can, figure which one you like and delete all the others.
Just don't use google translate to do your homework, unless you want a string of garbled directly-translated text and a disappointed teacher.
Apps won't teach you everything - you're not going to get much speaking practice from playing with hiragana all day - but they're a great way to add in a bit of extra practice and complement your language learning.
So there you have it - five-and-a-half apps to get you started on the road to learning Japanese! What do you reckon of my selection? What did I miss? I'd love to know what you think, so please let me know in the comments!

Phoenix FBI office warns of 'virtual kidnapping' scams
Lurissa Carbajal
The FBI said on Monday is launching a nationwide campaign to inform the public about "virtual kidnapping,'' an online scam designed to swindle people by claiming a loved one is being held hostage.
"Virtual kidnapping is when perpetrators, usually from another country, namely Mexico, are calling up subjects here in the United States and extorting them for large sums of money by supposedly threatening to kill or maim their family members," said Phoenix FBI Special Agent Glenn Milnor.
The FBI Phoenix Field Office has noticed an increase in these crimes in recent months in Arizona, officials said Monday. However, the agency did not provide any specific details about Arizona cases they've seen.
However, the FBI does not yet have national statistics on this crime available because sometimes victims report the matter to local law enforcement or victims may not even realize they should file a report, said Jill McCabe, a spokeswoman for the Phoenix FBI office.
The FBI believes that a significant number of virtual kidnappings for ransom go unreported, said McCabe.
The scam once was limited to Mexico and Southwest border states but has evolved so that U.S. residents anywhere could be potential victims, said McCabe.
Scammers typically claim that the victim's child or other relative faces mutilation or death unless money is paid. Sometimes the calls are made at random but sometimes the scammers target people using information gleaned from their social media accounts, FBI officials said.
"In this day and age personal information about you is on the internet, it's everywhere. They can locate your address, they can locate your telephone number, and they can locate your family and friends you're associated with and they will use all that to extort you for money,'' said Milnor.
In reality, there is no abduction, Milnor said, but scammers are hoping that fearful family members will agree to transmit them a ransom out of fear.
To avoid becoming a victim, the FBI advises looking for these possible indicators of a scam and steps potential victims should take:
Callers go to great lengths to keep you on the phone, insisting you remain on the line.
Calls do not come from the supposed victim's phone.
Callers try to prevent you from contacting the "kidnapped" victim.
Calls include demands for ransom money to be paid via wire transfer.
In most cases, the best course of action is to hang up the phone.
If you do engage the caller, don't call out your loved one's name.
Ask questions only the alleged kidnap victim would know, such as the name of a pet. Avoid sharing information about you or your family.
Attempt to call, text, or contact the victim via social media. Request that the victim call back from his or her cellphone.
If you suspect a real kidnapping is taking place, or you believe a ransom demand is a scheme, contact the Phoenix FBI office or local law enforcement immediately at 623-466-1999 or local police.

When it comes to looking for an elegant and attractive choice in the collection of jackets, the Dave Batista Black Leather Jacket offers being a premium choice. This jacket has been made out of the genuine leather and has the inner viscose lining which offers the comfortable feel. The front portion of the jacket is plain but very neatly finished. Moreover, it also has the two pockets on the sides slant but very simple. The jacket despite of being associated with the celebrity is a sophisticated option that is usually is hard to find. Carrying this black leather jacket with all kinds of attire may be the right choice to go for.


MOST people don't get FPGA. Hardware emulation? Right there, 'emulation' implies cheap substitute. My eureka moment was when someone detailed that all chips/instructions start as FPGAs, then finalized, and then solely to reduce costs: their instruction 'souls' are Han Solo frozen and then 'Attack of The Cloned' onto mass produced "read only" static chips on your motherboard... so FPGA is like just a more expensive 'original film negative' version of your DVD/Bluray with added benefit of playing more movies. That's it. All else is identical. So claims of FPGA not being the real thing is akin to claiming the only way to watch Star Wars is from Lucas's original camera negative... in theory.
FPGA owners know the complications: Despite hardware accuracy, the perfect clone experience depends on CORE accuracy, or Han Solo 'souls' of the original machines being carbon(ite) copy accurate of Han Solo. THIS is where FPGA may get a bad name and lumped with Windows emulators.
No one should fault the efforts of volunteer (unpaid) programmers to reinterpret the instructions of these original machines. We do need to know how advanced or accurate is the PC engine core? SMS?
Summary: there should be an online presence (Github??) that documents the accuracy of various cores for various FPGA re-implementation of classic systems. I've seen Youtube videos of the complications for USA based collectors to get a ZX Speccy working. I learned here that the MIST is spot on as a Speccy...great to know for USA based collectors. Others need work (thank you Braincell for C64), but the biggest question is this: how do we know how WELL/ACCURATE our cores are working if we never had the original hardware? I think a % based accuracy database would be great so people could contribute, and could make informed decisions between buying a MIST vs C64 Reloaded, real Atari vs 1088XEL or Eclair, or buying a Just Speccy or Mega 65.
The way I describe is that FPGA are a kit to build Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC); miniaturizing the whole hardware in a tiny box. There are two objective advantages: it's cheaper than cloning the original electronics, and it is MUCH more power efficient.
As you say accuracy is a problem, but also the fact that people are used to save states and other enhancements.
Truth is 100% accuracy is very difficult, even with software emulation.
Also, have you seen the spreadsheet linked at the top of this page?
No one is obliged to do what you want. There is a pretty simple rule: You want it - you do it.
Thanks Newsdee! That is pretty darn close to what I was hoping for. I have some original hardware and a MIST, so I hope I can do some comparison work and contribute to the spreadsheet.
... your comment reads uncharacteristically abrasive. It's understandable as when you are as good at your work as you indeed are, I'm certain a lot of people unfairly expect or demand from you. That would bug me too: so, thought you could use a boost and reminder: your work is adored and respected and I thank you for it.

@Sorgelig, for some time now I did not respond nor told anything about your replies. As I said before, this is not a chat. We are here to make a better MIST not to make a name for our selfs. Your comments are unnessacery and even destructive (abrasive).
Sorry I had do do this.
I'm certain that the MIST board wil continue to evolve, but I have already sold mine because of some replies. I am thinking of buying another one, if the community changes its perspective.
Not every developer needs to control nor take over the wonderful work of the designer of the hardware ( thanks Till). It's the community that makes this possible not a single person nor a smal team. Ideas must be discussed not placed in the trash, as they appear.
I'll be always attending this forum and watching for a better MIST.
Buy the way, you are still one of the active developers, in name of the MIST "fans" I believe a Thank You is on order.
My comment wasn't intended to destroy someone's work.
As a community of free time developers and hobbyists, it can be developed only by willing. Anyone is welcome to add whatever he wants. If you can test all cores with many games and make the spreadsheet or review - that's really good!
But requests like "We need to do this or that" aren't welcome because it won't be accomplished. That's why i've wrote that no one is obliged to do what other person wishes. Either you do what you wish and share with community, or it won't happen if you will wait for others to support.
Basically, this forum is not MiST support forum with its classic form because there is no one in charge of support. The only thing which has official support is hardware itself. So, questions about hardware failures should be addressed to Lotharek as for manufacturer.
Everything else is actually under terms of GPL(or similar license) without obligations of support.
Selling the board just because of some replies? Weirdest reason i ever saw... If i buy something then i buy it for myself and i don't care what others say.
Community will be better when more people will be adding something.

You are right no one should be "forced" to do something.
It was an idea, like many others.
But if there aren't any new developments the hardware can not support it self, if this is a product and one buys it, it is because of both not just one part.
No matter what you and other people are the ones that make the MIST, the full product.
Not to disregard The hardware part that obviously is an important part also.
You may look at MiSTer project. It's much more powerful. It's still needs a lot of work at least to port all MiST cores. Actually it's not so hard but still need some time.
Well, and why divide the community and abandon MIST Board? I don't understand... there is too much work on MiST and that's why we are here. Even in the main core, ATARI ST, there is too much to fix, to work... and to enjoy. MiST even has MIDI ports and it's a good example of custom board.
MiST is not abandoned. There are many cores on MiST board t enjoy it. But at the same time many cores hit the limits and cannot be improved beyond current state. In most cases the big problem is lack of FPGA's Block RAM. As you can see it's hard to fix the FPGAGen due to lack of BRAM. Same goes to arcade cores. Basically any multi-CPU system has separate blocks of RAM chips and in most cases you cannot put them together into one SDRAM chip due to timings.
Another (big from my POV) problem is VGA where video is not standard, so it's not a plug-and-play solution. It's more like search-and-pray solution While it's good to have original video with butter smooth video, it doesn't matter if your monitor cannot support such resolution. In Minimig you are limited to standard PAL/NTSC resolutions which is shame for such great core.
ARM memory is also full at 90%+ and no much improvements can be added there. Adding more features in bare-metal ARM code is not easy and usually require adding a lot of code.
MiST is good for its level, but if you want something more advanced, then you need a new hardware.
Thanks for your answer Sorgelig!
Well, The increased block memory would certainly help many projects instead of trying to time-slice sdram accesses.


It's time to retire! This is an exciting moment in your life. Some retirees prefer to remain in their hometown while others adventure out to other cities. If you are looking for a change, finding the right place to retire in the United States needs to be at the top of your priority list. Generally, you should begin your search before you retire to allow plenty of time for planning.

Q: Angular 2 Renderer2 - how it works I'm trying to understand the necessity of adding the renderer2 decoration in directives or in component in angular 2.
from documentaion :renderer 2 documentaion
they do not provide example that hoe it works. can anyone explain with full example.please

A: Renderer2 is just an abstraction.
If you use Universal (server-side-rendering) or WebWorkers, there is no DOM available and code that accesses the DOM directly will just cause an exception.
If you use Renderer2, Angular can provide different implementations using its dependency injection functionality, to make your code use an implementation that is compatible with the platform the code is currently running on.
Renderer2 is quite limited, because all methods only allow to update the DOM, but none allows to read any information from the DOM.
If you actually need to read you need to take special measures to make it work with Universal or WebWorker (for example check the current platform and skip the execution of code that directly accesses the DOM if it's not the browser platform, or use others provided by the current platform)

Percival Holt, President of the Indian Catholic Youth Movement (ICYM), speaks to MAGNET about his experience of the Synod of Youth held in Rome last year, as well as the preparatory work done before that. Percival holds a Master's in Biotechnology. He was interviewed by Sr Celine Vas BS, our associate editor.
MAGNET: You attended Pre-Synod Meeting at Rome in March 2018. How was your experience?
Percival Holt: It was my first encounter with so many bishops, priests and youth representatives. The best thing about this synod is we had three hundred youth representatives from all over the world.
At the outset Pope asked the bishops and young people to shed our prejudices about each other. He thanked the youth for answering the questionnaire (sent to 150, 000 youth all over the world). He thanked us for our honest feedback.
God met me. I am changed!

Sometimes an industry evolves beyond the research model that covers it. Consider the case of financial exchanges. Sell-side equity research in this area is divided regionally between Asia, Europe, and the United States, with little or no overlap. These regional boundaries, while they make sense for research specialization in other sectors, tend to ignore the global nature of many companies in the financial exchange industry. The recent history of exchange consolidation highlights this issue well.
In many cases, asset managers who bought stocks of companies shown in the 2000–2003 column of the accompanying chart before these companies merged into or were acquired by companies in the 2004–2011 column made enormous profits for their shareholders. But if in 2005 you were an analyst focused solely on European exchanges, you might not have realized that the product mix of Euronext, a pan-European stock exchange, tied in very well with that of the NYSE. Consequently, you may not have anticipated that the NYSE would buy Euronext two years later, generating a significant return for Euronext shareholders. And again, if in March 2012 you had asked a U.S. analyst whether the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) might be interested in buying the London metals exchange, he or she likely would not have been able to offer deep insight. In fact, the CME took part in a bidding war for the London exchange earlier this year, underscoring how regionally defined research on exchanges is poorly equipped to anticipate industry change.
Exchanges in less-developed financial markets in Asia, moreover, are simply less well known and less well covered relative to their U.S. and European counterparts. Of course, there are challenges, from linguistic barriers to regulatory differences and distance, but if you can get past these obstacles, international companies may offer a relatively inefficient and underexplored area of excess-return potential.

Gyldenpris is a neighborhood in Bergen, Norway in the borough of Årstad.

Geography
Gyldenpris lies on the border between the boroughs of Årstad and Laksevåg, with the Solheim neighborhood to the southeast, the Damsgård neighborhood to the northwest, Pudde Fjord to the northeast, and Mount Løvstakken to the south.

Gyldenpris has an area of  and had 1,734 inhabitants on January 1, 2015. It is divided into basic statistical units named Gyldenpris (in the Laksevåg district), Stranden, and Strandlien (in the Årstad district). It includes 274 apartments in Mûnsterbekken Housing Cooperative in the Øvre Damsgård basic statistical unit (with a Frydenbølien address). Gyldenpris contains the Parish of Løvstakksiden, part of the Church of Norway's Bergen Deanery. St. Mark's Church, the parish church, stands to the south near the border with the Solheim neighborhood. Nearby there are also the Urdi House, an example of Empire style architecture, and the Gyldenpris student housing complex.

History
The name Gyldenpris is derived from a hobby farm from the 1700s, which was separated from Damsgård. The farm's main house stood until 1955.

Industry developed along the Damsgård Straits (Damsgårdssundet) towards the end of the 1800s. The municipality of Bergen municipality purchased real estate at Gyldenpris and Stranden (collectively known as Gyldenpris) in 1912 and had plans to develop urban districts there. The area was administratively separated from the municipality of Laksevåg and annexed to Bergen, with about 1700 residents, in 1921. Gyldenpris was linked closer to Bergen when the Puddefjord Bridge to the Møhlenpris neighborhood opened in 1956.

"Blood Town"

After the Bergen fire of 1916, the municipality of Bergen built a shantytown in the area where the Puddefjord Bridge now stands. It was an effort to help those left homeless in Bergen. All of the buildings were painted a blood-red color, which resulted in the place being nicknamed "Blood Town" (). Eventually, this nickname also referred to fighting and other trouble in this area. In 1977 the former soccer player Odd Frantzen was kicked to death in Gyldenpris, where he has also been born. Most of the houses in "Blood Town" were razed in connection with the construction of the Puddefjord Bridge, the Løvstakken Tunnel, and the new road on the west side of Pudde Fjord. One of the six houses remaining from "Blood Town" has served for many years as the clubhouse and dressing room for the Orion soccer club, which has its home field at the Gyldenpris soccer field (). Recently, sections of the Ny-Krohnborg IL athletic association have moved into the clubhouse. The other five remaining houses function today as municipal residential training centers for people with drug problems.

Development

In the 1950s, Gyldenpris became more densely settled because of the limited supply of building land within Bergen's city limits. The solution to the housing shortage at that time was to build higher. In 1951, the Vestbo housing company built three typical seven-story tower blocks operated by Stranden Boliglag AS (75 units). Later larger apartment blocks were built. The Münsterbekken Housing Cooperative (274 units) was built by Arne Sande AS in 1978, and housing became denser in 1980, when the BOB company built 72 units in the Gyldenpris Housing Cooperative. The most recent major expansion took place in 2004, when the Student Welfare Organization in Bergen built an apartment building with 157 units in the area between the former Høyes winery building and the Gyldenpris soccer field.

Natalee Holloway's father calls for new investigation in disappearance
Dave Holloway, Natalee Holloway's father, has called on the Public Prosecutor to investigate the tip that his daughter is buried under the Marriott hotel in Aruba, the AD reports. Natalee Holloway disappeared on May 30th, 2005 while on vacation with members of her Mountain Brook, Alabama high school graduation class in Aruba. Amsterdam resident Jurrien de Jong claims to have been an eyewitness to her disappearance. According to him, Joran van der Sloot killed the American girl on a closed construction site where a new complex of the Marriott hotel was under construction. De Jong states that he saw Van der Sloot hiding Holloway's body under the floor of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club Hotel. De Jong was at the construction site that night for illegal, drug-related activities, which is why he did not come forward with his testimony right away. In 2013 Dave Holloway spoke with De Jong several times. "His story sounded convincing on the phone", he told the newspaper. Holloway remembers smelling a strong scent of decay when visiting the construction site after his daughter's disappearance. He now thinks that De Jong's story "should not be ignored".

Recife Computer-Aided Network Management
Recife, a Decision Support System (DSS) built as an internal tool by France Telecom, manages and routes all demands for new digital and video connections in the Greater Paris network.
France Telecom is one of the world's leading telecommunication service providers, operating principally in France and Europe. At present, France Telecom has approximately 34 million fixed telephone lines, including 3 million ISDN channels. It is also France's largest mobile phone service provider with approximately 12 million subscribers.
In the past, applications similar to Recife were written in Fortran or Cobol and were difficult to use and adapt. So nearly a decade ago, France Telecom created Recife in an effort to develop a decision support system that was highly interactive, rather than a static algorithm.
They developed Recife entirely with Common Lisp, CLOS and CLIM, first on Symbolics machines and, since 1997, with Allegro CL on UNIX (Solaris 2.x).
Recife is a graphical application featuring menus and dialog boxes, with results displayed in textual or graphical forms. The application is used forthe transfer of internal information, report generation, state-of-the-network statistics, and more.
The main features of Recife include:
Capability to take into account the users' knowledge of the network (engineering rules) through an Information System tool.
Ability to quickly evolve solutions when changes occur within the network.
Luiz Burity, Senior Research Engineer at France Telecom R&D, and his team believe that the Allegro Common Lisp environment contains a rich set of tools which permit rapid development and flexibility:
Recife is updated on a regular basis. Using Allegro CL is a great advantage for France Telecom developers, allowing them to modify the application while running.
Recife is a multi-user application. Allegro CL Runtime capabilities allow a large number of users to work on the same application at the same time without interference from each other. Users can increase the performance of the application at will, by adding more workstations to the network. New users can be hired without any technical problems.
France Telecom also used Allegro CLIM to make Recife a very interactive application. It assists users, guiding them by providing several satisfactory solutions to a problem without reducing the flexibility of selecting their own solution.
France Telecom R&D, the research and development center, is the locomotive of innovation for France Telecom and its subsidiaries, in France and abroad. Its mission: to anticipate technological revolutions and revolutions in usage; to innovate to provide clients the best in telecommunications; to imagine today, the technologies that will be part of our daily lives tomorrow.
By its representation power, efficiency, flexibility, robustness and its incremental development mode, Lisp is particularly well adapted to meet Recife requirements and constraints now and in the future.
"We like to use Lisp for mainly its feasibility, efficiency and easiness as well as safety to use (can always be modified with no risks). Lisp is a very powerful language, easy to develop," says Luiz Burity.

Ava (Persian: آوا) is a 2017 internationally co-produced drama film directed and written by Sadaf Foroughi. The film screened for the first time in the Discovery section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the FIPRESCI Discovery Prize and received an Honourable Mention for Best Canadian First Feature Film.

In December, TIFF named the film on its annual Canada's Top Ten list of the ten best Canadian films. The film received eight Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Foroughi), Best Actress (Mahour Jabbari) and Best Supporting Actress (Bahar Noohian). It was named as the winner of the Canadian Screen Award for Best First Feature on 31 January 2018.

Plot
Ava is a student at an all-girl Iranian high school. She's an excellent student and good musician. But her mother hears a rumor that Ava has been seen with a boy, she overreacts and humiliates Ava. Her father is more supportive, but he often works out of the city. Her school's headmaster talks a lot about protecting her students, but she's clearly more concerned with the reputation of her school than the best interests of the girls in the school, and on several occasions threatens to expel Ava and other girls, often on the basis of unfounded rumors; she also cajoles students to snitch on each other.
