Makes troubleshooting even faster: the ZF-TESTMAN car diagnostic tool for motor vehicles. Benefit from the expert among the diagnosis tools and find faults quickly and reliably.
Everything running smoothly? If that is what you are aiming for, you do not need additional delays in the workshop. ZF-TESTMAN tests all electronically controlled ZF products online via telemetry or laptop, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. To that end, a notebook equipped with the diagnosis software for motor vehicles is simply connected to the vehicle electronics system via an interface during the next repair. ZF-TESTMAN keeps you constantly up to speed with your vehicle status for effective, targeted troubleshooting.
Integrated ZF Aftermarket measuring tool: Pressure and temperature measuring technology to scan hydraulics and pneumatics.
The monitoring function provides both statistical and dynamic measurement data and enables vehicle error diagnosis under real conditions during travel, with clear graphics for straightforward data interpretation and accurate conclusions.
Product error memory readouts provide you with unfiltered data on vehicle errors. The appropriate circuit diagrams and search guides are also linked to each error, enabling you to implement the correct repair measures quickly and efficiently.
Vehicle-specific data can be copied and easily transferred 1:1 onto the new control unit when the old one is replaced, eliminating the additional costs of purchasing via third parties and getting the vehicle back on the road quickly.
ZF-TESTMAN enables you to teach in ZF products (e.g., clutches or transmissions of your passenger car).
Changes to the passenger car require subsequent reconfiguration (e.g., transmission configuration after the installation of a stationary/nonstationary power take-off). ZF-TESTMAN vehicle diagnostic software makes this a straightforward task.
Should a product not perform as expected, this may be because certain pre-conditions are missing. The software allows you to query conditions that have not been met under function locks, which in turn determines whether the issue is due to an application error or a defective vehicle component.
Guided Troubleshooting (GTS) enables systematic fault finding for passenger car products without diagnosable electronics and also compiles a record of each step you perform.
For some ZF passenger car products there are special features that support the analysis of complex systems. For example, you can check the functionality of the range selector or more easily find loose connections in wiring harnesses.
Every edition of ZF Testman comes with a one-year license, which is easy to extend online once you order and receive your software. You can make your license period as long as you wish by adding multiple extensions.


MARANA, AZ (Tucson News Now) - Due to the Thursday evening's rain and inclement weather, the Marana Holiday Festival has unfortunately been canceled.
Town of Marana staff worked hard to try to save the event, but most of the grounds the parking lots and entertainment zones are on are too wet and muddy and cannot accommodate foot and vehicle traffic for the thousands of people anticipated to attend the event.
Monday to Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday to Sunday at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

"Equal" K–12 State Funding Cuts Could Disproportionately Harm Low-Income Students
State budget shortfalls resulting from the pandemic mean education funding is likely to suffer. To mitigate the harm of budget cuts, state legislators must think strategically. How cuts are made can have dramatically different impacts across different schools and students, and implementing equal-percentage cuts across districts is likely to further inequity.
Educational spending improves students' educational attainment, increases wages, and reduces incidents of adult poverty. Further, research shows cutting education funding lowers test scores and rates of college going. In most states, state funding provides the bulk of the money spent on K–12 education, with federal dollars accounting for around 10 percent of total funding and local property taxes making up the rest.
During the pandemic, many advocates have called upon the federal government to allocate additional funds to help fill the gaps in state funding, as they did with the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. But given current uncertainty about how much, if any, additional aid will come from the federal government, it is critical to examine the equity impacts of different types of state funding cuts.
Using a measure developed for earlier Urban Institute research, we modeled how different types of state funding cuts affect progressivity of state and local education funding in 49 states, excluding Hawaii, which is a single district. Our progressivity measure for each state is the difference between the average funding for poor and nonpoor students. (We focused on how funding flows to low-income students relative to others, but you can see similar analyses looking at students of color and students living in rural versus urban areas in the appendix.)
In the 2016–17 school year—the most recent year for which data are available—33 out of 49 states sent more state and local money to poor students than to nonpoor students. Many state funding formulas are designed to send more money to districts with low-income students to counteract often regressive local funding across the state. For example, Alaska, Wyoming, Ohio, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Massachusetts all spend more than $500 more per student in poverty than per nonpoverty student. Conversely, Connecticut and Illinois spend more than $500 more per nonpoverty student than per student in poverty.
To understand how progressivity for poor students may change with state funding cuts, we model three different types of state cuts:
an across-the-board percentage cut of each district's state aid (we model a 10 percent cut)
a per student cut (we model a $650 decrease per student, decreasing state funding to $0 if states already provide less than $650)
a cut targeted at low-poverty districts (we model the effect of cutting 20 percent of state aid from the weighted quartile of districts with the smallest shares of poor students, 15 percent from the second quartile, 10 percent from the third quartile, and a 5 percent cut from the quartile with the highest shares of poor students)
We compare the ratio of funding per student in poverty to the ratio of funding dollars per nonpoverty student before and after the funding cut (a value greater than 1 means students in poverty get more funding, on average, than their nonpoverty peers). In our graphs, the diagonal line is where states would fall if the cut had no effect on progressivity. States that would see a regressive effect fall below this line, and states that would see a progressive change are above the line.
We only model the first-order effects of these cuts on state and local funding; we do not model how local funding, or other aspects of state funding formulas, may change in response to these cuts or the effects of federal funds on progressivity.
We find percentage cuts have regressive effects on total state and local funding in almost all states and even move several states from allocating more money to low-income students to becoming regressive. This is likely because districts with higher shares of low-income students tend to get higher levels of state aid, so a percentage cut hits them harder. Percentage cuts do not have a consistent effect on the distribution of funding to white students relative to students of color. Similarly, there are contextually specific effects on rural and urban students. (More details are available in the appendix.)
Per student funding cuts have virtually no effect on our measure of funding progressivity. Targeted cuts—cutting a higher percentage from districts serving fewer students in poverty—made funding more progressive in every state and even caused some states to move from regressive to progressive funding (although, as with all cuts, every district would see less this year than they did previously). In practice, this may be politically challenging but could be done by cutting certain state aid programs but not others. Ohio recently responded to budget shortfalls by making larger cuts to affluent districts than to districts serving higher proportions of low-income students, such as the Cleveland School District.
Any reduction in K–12 funding harms students' academic and labor market outcomes. If policymakers must implement cuts, the data suggest that to protect the most vulnerable populations, they should not just cut across the board.
Teachers, students, and members of a teachers union gather and rally against budget cuts and under funding of District of Columbia Public Schools at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC on April 25, 2019. Teachers protested the under-funding of the District of Columbias low-income schools. This followed protests around the country over school funding and teacher pay.

Q: How to make a query linq check date is in month, quarter or a year I have a User table with userdateregistered field, and want to show User registered in the current month, last month, current quarter, last quarte, current year and last year (date reference is datetime.now).I need to build a linq query
For example:
2013/12/31  if is in the month December(12)
2012/01/15 if is in the first quarter (1)
2013/05/12 if is in the year 2012.

A: Here is query which select all users from current month
DateTime startOfMonth = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1 - DateTime.Today.Day);
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;

var users =
   from u in context.Users
   where EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(u.UserDateRegistered) >= startOfMonth &&
         EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(u.UserDateRegistered) <= today
   select u;

It shows you idea of filtering by date. Just calculate appropriate begin and end dates. And use EntityFunctions.TruncateTime method to compare only dates.

Actually I'd created class DateRange for holding begin and end dates, and creating some ranges:
public class DateRange
{
    public DateTime BeginDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }

    public static DateRange OfYear(int year)
    {
        return new DateRange
        {
            BeginDate = new DateTime(year, 1, 1),
            EndDate = new DateTime(year, 12, 31)
        };
    }

    public static DateRange OfMonth(int month)
    {
        var year = DateTime.Today.Year;

        return new DateRange
        {
            BeginDate = new DateTime(year, month, 1),
            EndDate = new DateTime(year, month, 1).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1)
        };
    }
}

It will allow you to create filter ranges easily:
var range = DateRange.OfMonth(10);
var users =
   from u in context.Users
   where EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(u.UserDateRegistered) >= range.BeginDate &&
         EntityFunctions.TruncateTime(u.UserDateRegistered) <= range.EndDate
   select u;

Camping. Love it or hate it, anyone who's traveling with kids will think it's a good idea at some stage. After all, kids love adventures, don't they? Think Famous Five, getting out in the wilderness and loving every second.
Of course, the reality rarely lives up to that idea. Let's face it; modern kids often need more stimulation than a campfire and a bit of mud. Instead, your children might be more concerned about the lack of wifi, and the fact they can't charge their phones. That's the way of this modern world.
But, does that mean camping should be off your list? Not at all. All you need to do is think of distractions ahead of time, and take the following action to ensure no one gets bored.
When your kids are engaged in an exciting lesson, they won't even think about their lack of phones. So, set them the task of putting up tents or starting the fire. Send them out on scavenger hunts for different types of plants or wildlife. While they may be reluctant at first, their natural curiosity will soon get the better of them. Before long, you'll struggle even to recognise your mud-covered little explorers. And, enjoyment aside, they can take lessons like these forward with them. We would say that's a pretty good justification for booking a camping site.
Of course, if you're camping for a few days to a week, those learning opportunities will soon dry up. And, the moment that happens, your kids could slip back into negative thinking. Remember; children have pretty short attention spans these days. Blame all that instant internet gratification. Either way, you also need to think about the more basic activities you'll embark on during your time away. If you like, you can think of this as a vacation itinerary with a difference. Before you even head off, you should prepare for something exciting each day. Lucky for you, we have a few ideas to keep you going.
Get sporty. Given that camping is all about getting away from electronics and such, sports should be top of your agenda. Whether you take along some footballs from your local store, or some fishing equipment as recommended by companies like Fishing Sun, this could be the ideal way to pass those lazy camp days.
Bear hunts. You know how it goes; we're going on a bear hunt, we're going to catch a big one. Seeing as most campsites are in a woodland setting, why take the chance to host a bear hunt of your own?
Day trips. Don't forget that you don't have to stick to your campsite. If you fancy, you can spend the days exploring the surrounding areas, then return here for evening fun.

Volkmar Wilhelm Kohlmeyer (known to friends and colleagues as Wally) graduated from Natal University with an BSc Mechanical Engineering in the early 1970's. He joined Department of Water Affairs and was assigned to the Vaal Dam Operations Department where he gained significant experience in all facets of pipeline operation.
In the early years, his experience included the Goldfields Water Board pipelines which were bitumen lined and bitumen coated with no cathodic protection and had suffered corrosion due to contamination from mine spillage.
Promotion to the Directorate of Operations at DWA Head Office, brought Wally into contact with the Corrosion Institute and he has remained a supporter of the Corrosion institute for over 25 years. in his capacity as Chief Engineer, Operations, he is effectively the technical head of DWA. He has exhibited leadership among water authorities and water service providers at national, provincial and local town council level. Wally has always been prepared to share his knowledge and experience with younger people. He is held in high regard by many senior role players in various government departments as well as private industry. Wally is outspoken and frank which has gained him many friends. He has never been afraid of standing up and being counted and he makes tough decisions, when necessary, without fear of criticism. His dry sense of humour has broken the tension in many a high level meeting, and his ability to see through the clutter and detail and quickly grasp the main points of a technical discussion are legendary. This acuity requires copious volumes of Five Roses tea, properly brewed.
Wally has recently been elected to chair the Water Industry Forum, This Forum sets minimum standards for corrosion protection systems implementing uniformity across a wide spectrum of asset owners.
The Institute is pleased to award Volkmar Wilhelm Kohlmeyer Kohlmeyer the Corrosion Institute Silver Medal in recognition of over 40 years of dedication to keeping the arteries of the nation flowing.


On Monday evening I attended Zoe's ZOMG lipstick launch - a perfect collaboration with Rockalily. It was such a wonderful evening, held in a pub near St Pauls: with a cupcake stand, craft tables and a wig and vintage hair accessories stall. There was a great turn out with a bar full of bloggers out in force to support Zoe, making the evening a great opportunity to meet some of my favourite bloggers and make some new friends! The evening finished on a high with an exceptional burlesque performance from my new thinspiration Miss Banbury Cross; who has the most phenomenal costumes, talent and abs.
I'm now really looking forward to TOWIB, whose going? It'll be so alovely to meet some more of you guys!
Apologies for the delayed posting, I've had such a nightmare with my phone (it completley died and thankfully resurrected itself) and so much reading for Uni. I'm just finishing off Racine's Athaliah which is actually great. I truly love Ancient Greek Literature - it reminds me of my A level Theatre lessons where we used to laugh over references to Argos and the term 'concubine' lols.


That is the answer to the age-old debate over whether to buy a real Christmas tree or an artificial one — at least according to research done by the David Suzuki Foundation.
"With everything that I found out a real tree is better by quite a wide margin than an artificial one," said Justin Smallbridge, who spent several days researching the issue for the Suzuki Foundation.
At the root of the conclusion is that it is better for the environment to buy a real tree. For the most part they are grown and sold locally, produce 10 to 12 years of oxygen and carbon dioxide removal before being cut, are fully recyclable, provide habitat, and once cut are replaced with at least two more seedlings.
"Definitively real trees are better," said Smallbridge, who bought his own this past weekend as a result of his findings.
To be even more environmentally responsible its best to use LED lights on the tree, as they use less energy. And if you decorate it with strings of popcorn and cranberries they can feed the birds later.
It has been estimated that there are about 550,000 acres in production for Christmas trees in Canada and the U.S. and each acre provides the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people.
Real trees are also an important part of family Christmas traditions, said Arthur Loewen, of the Canadian Christmas Tree Growers Association.
"We have a lot of families who come out and say this is our tradition, we are making memories here," said Loewen who has been selling trees from his Pine Meadows Tree Farm in Chilliwack for 37 years.
Loewen has seen sales of real Christmas trees go up in recent years. This year he expects to sell 3,000 from his farm and at least that many to other retailers.
According to Statistics Canada, sales of real Christmas trees were worth $73.9 million in 2005. About 2.4 million Christmas trees were exported from Canada to places as far away as Ireland and Thailand. Up to six million trees are grown in Canada each year.
Whistler's Garden Centre is also doing a brisk business.
"They smell beautiful and they look gorgeous," said owner Shelley Fraser, adding that buying live potted trees is also becoming more popular.
But not everyone wants to get real.
"I bought an artificial tree this year because I didn't want to buy a tree that had been cut down," said Elise Donnelly of Whistler, whose family always moved a live tree in and out of the house for the holidays.
She is not alone. According to Statistics Canada $36.6 million was spent importing artificial trees from China in 2005.
"Our sales just keep going up, up, up for trees," said Mark Hansen of Richmond-based Hansen's Christmas Stuff.
The wholesaler said the modern artificial tree is luxurious and natural enough looking that one customer even had a bird nest in it while it was outside on a deck waiting to be stored.
"And for many people who buy them it is about convenience for the customer," he said.
They also do not cause allergies, cannot contribute to the spread of pests and, said Hansen, are a wise choice for the environment even though they cannot be recycled.

World Leader in Delivering Premium Quality Hand Protection Solutions for Healthcare Professionals [Interview][Transcript]
Guest: Dr Monica Sagardoy Ph.D.
Presenter: Wayne Bucklar
Guest Bio: Dr Monica Sagardoy Ph.D. has worked at Ansell for 11 years and is currently the Director of GAMMEX® Surgical Gloves for Ansell's Medical Division. Dr Sagardoy has held various roles with Ansell including Marketing Director for the APAC Region and Brand Director for an emerging markets glove brand. A resident of Australia for 12 years, Dr Sagardoy currently lives in Melbourne with her husband, with whom she enjoys the "good Spanish hobbies" of eating, socialising and dancing.
Segment overview: In today's Health Supplier Segment, learn more about Ansell's wide array of products as we are joined by Director of GAMMEX®, Dr Monica Sagardoy Ph.D. In her current capacity, Dr Sagardoy works very closely with the Research and Development as well as their Manufacturing teams on the development of new products, and with the Regional Marketing and Sales Teams on understanding market needs and introducing new products. With innovation and clinical relevance at the heart of the GAMMEX® philosophy, Dr Sagardoy thoroughly enjoys the role diversity and the opportunities to interact with people around the world and understanding different healthcare systems around the globe.
Wayne Bucklar: You're listening to Health Professional Radio with Wayne Bucklar. Today my guest joins me from Australia in Melbourne, it's Dr. Monica Sagardoy. Monica's Ansell's director of Gammex surgical gloves, a brand that I'm sure is well known to all of you in the clinical space. Monica welcome to Health Professional Radio.
Monica Sagardoy: Thank you very much and thank you for inviting me to participate in your program. It's a pleasure to be here.
W: You're very welcome. Now Monica I guess that everyone's heard of Gammex gloves. But tell us a little bit about the products from your perspective?
M: Yes, that's a very good question. Ansell Healthcare is the leader in barrier protection and have various divisions that serve the healthcare industry. Ansell's "industrial division" which is the biggest division that we have, offers a range for example of chemical and heat protection gloves, which may be used in hospitals in areas such as CSSD department. The second division that may also serve products to the healthcare industry is our "single use division" which offers gloves for critical environment, that may be used for the example in research – laboratories, or in pharmaceutical manufacturing. And finally the "medical division" which is the one I work in and is the main one for everything in the health industry. The medical division offers a full range of surgical and examination gloves, including dedicated dental range that have also options of this range, options to prevent both the latex and the chemical allergies. Ansell has a range of healthcare safety devices that includes sharp safety devices which are designed to prevent staff, injuries in clinical settings – protecting the healthcare workers and the patients.
W: Now I have to confess. It's a 40 years or so since I have worked in a hospital that I didn't realize there was such a range of gloves these days.
M: Yes, it certainly has changed quite significantly. For example if I take you on that question, this year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary of the Gammex brand. And the first Gammex product started as the first single use product that it was introduced by Ansell. And the name Gammex comes from "Gamma radiation" because it was the first Gamma radiated glove in hospital. And that obviously was introduced 50 years ago when disposable gloves were kind of a foreign notion. The gloves were rewashed, re-sterilized and then reused after surgery. So certainly the used of gloves and its technology have come forward quite a lot in the last 30 years since you have worked in hospital, yeah. We include now for example antimicrobial gloves which has gloves coated with antimicrobial. This technology was introduced a few years ago and the objective is to help minimize the surgical site infections by providing this antimicrobial coating that will help quit the transmission of microorganisms from the healthcare worker to the patient and the other way around in the event of a glove breach which is quite frequent.
W: Yes, gloves breaches have always been a problem.
M: Yes. They have always been a problem. Some people are double gloving more frequently these days, but still the double gloving at the ER is not a very high in some countries. So Australia it's quite good but still not at the level that it should be. And that's obviously to protect against the unnoticed breaches.
W: Monica gloves are much more complex than I had imagined. They're really a piece of clinical intervention now about the sound of it based on what glove you choose.
M: Yes. There's a lot of research and development that's involved into gloves. And that's something that a lot of clinicians do not realize. And even myself I didn't realize this when I started working in Ansell, how much technology really goes into the gloves. How different one gloves may be from the next. So yes, it's certainly true that there's a lot of differentiation between the gloves.
W: I assume Ansell is a global provider of product. Is there a difference between countries or is it universal across the world?
M: There's a slight differences, like for example as before we were talking about double gloving or as we talk about non-latex options and gloves that protect you against allergies. Some countries especially in the emerging market maybe have less range in terms of double gloving options or non-latex option or gloves that doesn't have has half chemical accelerators, for example, that are certain components that are used in the gloves to give elasticity and the strength but so which are very good for that, but it can also cause some type IV allergic dermatitis so some might have adverse effects in your hands. So in some of the emerging markets, the variety of the range doesn't exist as much in countries such as Australia for example.
W: Interesting. Now Monica most of our audience are clinicians in hospitals or in aged care. Is there a take away message you'd like them to get today as a result of you having a chat with us?
M: Yes. I think what I would like probably as a take away is a misconception I guess
about the latex allergies and their adverse effects cause by gloves. Most people including some clinicians mistakenly believe that the majority of that reactions in the gloves are caused by latex and that's going latex people would fix this issue. And going latex free is so very important. Do not get me wrong especially for example for children with multiple surgeries that may have latex incidence up to 50% and we know if they are treated only with non-latex gloves from birth, this can be significantly reduced. But if we talk about our healthcare workers that are spending many hours of the day s gloving up, latex allergies also a big incidence for them. But the majority of the adverse effects that they find with the gloves is due to the chemical accelerators that are present, not only in the latex gloves but also in some of the non-latex gloves. So I think that using non-latex gloves is the way to go, but it doesn't go far enough. I think the best way to really offer the best possible protection for our healthcare workers and also for the patients is to use a non-latex chemical accelerator free.
W: Ah, now that's a very interesting point. So it's sometimes the latex allergy is given the blame when it's in fact the allergy to other things.
M: That is correct. So chemical allergies are causing around 33% or so of their glove reactions encounter with gloves. So it's quite important to be aware of these issues. And as we were talking before about research and technology we introduced a little ago a new formulation which is called "sensoprene formulation." This formulation is encountered in our neoprene range which is both latex free and chemical accelerator free. And the beauty of this technology is that it allows us besides this latex-free and accelerator-free, also to have very durable gloves that it will withstand the rigors of surgery but also is very, very good sensitivity. So the surgeons and the healthcare workers can perform at their best because their sensitivity obviously is another critical point.
W: Now Monica I missed the name of that, was it Sensoprene?
M: Sensoprene, yes that's probably my accent.
W: I'm sure the people want to look out for it, that's why I mentioned it again.
W: Now Monica, in every industry there are misconceptions. What's the biggest misconception about your world that drive you nuts and keep you awake at night?
M: I think I have two misconceptions, and I have already talked about them. One of them is this assumption that a glove is just a glove. I must say that I had the same when I worked in my past life as a researcher, I didn't understand all this difference. So this is one thing that drives me nuts. And the second one is this misconception about the causes of allergic reactions and sensitivities. And another thing hospitals are sometimes on the offering protection after they develop an allergy rather than offering a bit more pro-active solution of offering and non-latex and accelerator-free glove before anyone develops an allergy or a sensitivity. I think that would be my two key pieces.
W: That's prevention is eminently sensible, isn't it?
M: Exactly.
W: Monica it's been a pleasure having you with me. If people want more information, is there a website they can go to?
M: Yes. The website is medical.ansell.com.au. But before we go will you allow me a couple more minutes, I would like to highlight the fact that we are celebrating our 50th anniversary for Gammex this year. And we have partnered with Direct Relief, but I'm not sure whether all your listeners will be familiar with this, not for profit organization. But they specialize in providing essential medical resources for people in need. So what we are doing we have this special website for the 50th Anniversary, which is gammex50.com. And we have there an eCard, for every eCard that we have signed, we are donating 50 pairs of gloves to Direct Relief. And we are targeting 50,000 pairs of glove donations. So I would like to ask your audience to please visit the site and I will repeat the URL it's gammex50.com. And if they can sign the eCard so we can proceed with the donations and together we can make a difference for people in need.
W: What a wonderful gesture on behalf of Ansell for their anniversary. Listeners if you head off to gammex50.com, sign the eCard no toss doesn't hurt you. And as a result 50 pairs of Gammex gloves will be donated through an independent charity to people in need.
M: Thank you very much.
W: What a wonderful gesture. Dr. Monica Sagardoy, Ansell director for Gammex surgical gloves thank you for your time today.
M: Thank you for having me. Have a very good day Wayne.
W: Thank you very much. If you just missed my interview with Monica, the good news is we have a transcript on our website at www.hpr.fm and that includes all those URLs that we've mentioned. You can also hear the interview again on YouTube or on SoundCloud. This is Wayne Bucklar you've been listening to Health Professional Radio.

Q: How to replace a value with the output of a command in a text file? I have a file that contains:
<?php return 0;

I want to replace in bash, the value 0 by the current timestamp.
I know I can get the current timestamp with:
date +%s

And I can replace strings with sed:
sed 's/old/new/g' input.txt > output.txt

But how to combine the two to achieve what I want? Solutions not involving sed and date are welcome as well, as long as they only use shell tools.

A: In general, do use this syntax:
sed "s/<expression>/$(command)/" file

This will look for <expression> and replace it with the output of command.

For your specific problem, you can use the following:
sed "s/0/$(date +%s)/g" input.txt > output.txt

This replaces any 0 present in the file with the output of the command date +%s. Note you need to use double quotes to make the command in $() be interpreted. Otherwise, you would get a literal $(date +%s).
If you want the file to be updated automatically, add -i to the sed command: sed -i "s/.... This is called in-place editing.

Test
Given a file with this content:
<?php return 0;

Let's see what it returns:
$ sed "s/0/$(date +%s)/g" file
<?php return 1372175125;

A: When the replacement string has newlines and spaces, you can use something else.
We will try to insert the output of ls -l in the middle of some template file.
awk 'NR==FNR {a[NR]=$0;next}
    {print}
    /Insert index here/ {for (i=1; i <= length(a); i++) { print a[i] }}'
    <(ls -l) template.file

or
sed '/^Insert after this$/r'<(ls -l) template.file

Allied Chemical
Welcome to The Lawrence Register > History > Businesses > Allied Chemical
Allied Chemical & Dye Co. Semet Solvay Division
The 129-acre Allied Chemical & Ironton Coke site is in Ironton, Ohio. It consists of a former coke plant and five former lagoons, a former tar plant consisting of a Main Parcel and a River Parcel, parts adjacent to a local stream known as Ice Creek, and a section known as the Goldcamp Disposal Area. Facility operations contaminated soil, sediment and groundwater with hazardous chemicals. The site was divided into three areas, or Operable Units (OUs), for cleanup; the Goldwater Disposal Area (OU 1), the Coke Plat Lagoon Area (OU2) and the Tar Plant (OU3).
The EPA's cleanup at the site consisted of tearing down a former coke plant, placing protective coverings over disposal areas, converting a former lagoon area into a wetlands ecosystem, digging up and removing contaminated soil and coal from the property, installing a pump-and-treat system for groundwater, long-term monitoring, and limiting the use of and access to the site. The total cost of the clean-up is estimated at over $75 million.
Allied Chemical Back in Picture for Federal Plant
The Tribune was in communication with Congressman Thomas A. Jenkins at Washington this afternoon and learned that the Allied Chemical Company, which operates the local Solvay plant is "back in the picture" in the matter of the construction of the 20 million dollar ammonia plant at South Point. While I can't say definitely I'm inclined to believe that the contract will be given to Allied Chemical today," Mr. Jenkins said. :However, I've been expecting the contract to be issued momentarily for a week or more so I may be wrong in suspecting that the matter will be taken care of toady."
It is known that the present US-Japanese situation has placed a new light on maters and undoubtedly the matter will now be rushed through.
IET, pg. 3 Tuesday, Dec. 9, 1941
Allied Chemical Corporation
In 1958 the name was shortened. From time to time its divisional structure had been realigned to meet the needs of growing, more complex operations. Manufacturing was carried on by eight Divisions. Agricultural, Fabricated Products, Fibers, Industrial Chemicals, Plastics, Semet-Solvay, Specialty Chemicals and Union Texas Petroleum. Allied Chemical Canada, Ltd., managed all Canadian business. Allied Chemical International directed export sales and manufacturing interests outside of the U.S. Canada.
Origins of Divisions
The Agricultural Division was formerly known as the Nitrogen Division — renamed in 1967 to reflect the Company's broadened scope of farm products, which were consolidated in a single operating unit. The Division was initiated in 1952, to take over from the former Solvay Process and Barrett Division the production and sale of ammonia and other nitrogenous materials.
At Syracuse, New York, in 1921, Allied Chemical had been the first in the United States to develop commercially the synthetic ammonia process for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. This operation was moved to Hopewell, Virginia, where a sizable plant was completed in 1928, making America for the first time independent of imported nitrate deposits. Additional facilities for ammonia and nitrogen fertilizers were later established at South Point, OHIO, and Omaha, Nebraska. The Company's chemical/fertilizer complex at Geismar, Louisiana, provided a large new production center for the Agricultural Division's plant foods.
As the leading domestic producer of ammonia, urea, and a broad line of solid and liquid nitrogen fertilizes, the Agricultural Division to the farm economy. Other major products were phosphatic fertilizers, pesticides and liquid protein supplements for animal nutrition. The Division also marketed potassic fertilizers and micronutrients. At locations in the East and Mid-west, the Agricultural Division produced paving materials for highway construction, parking areas and other paving requirements.
This section first appeared: September 2002
Fabricated Products Division — Established in 1967. Manufactured and marketed products strongly oriented to end-users. The division operated five separate businesses. Three departments were:
Plastic Film – Caprolan (nylon), Aclar (Fluorocarbon), and PVC (poly-vinyl chloride) — made Pottsvile, Pa.
Plastic Dinnerware — Melamine dinnerware was manufactured in Port Gibson, Miss.
Unicast Products — Unicast nylon fuel tanks and other hollow vessels for specific customer needs were made at the Whippany, New Jersey plant.
Nodaway Valley Foods of Corning, Iowa produced convenience foods such as puddings, pie fillings sour cream, dressings, and cheese sauces. Nodaway's septic canning process gave products extended shelf life.
The Jim Robbins Seat belt Company of Troy, Michigan was a leading maker of seat belts and harnesses for the auto industry. Principal plants were at Knoxville, Tenn., and Mt. Clemens, Michigan.
The Fibers Division — Formed in 1963. Specialized in production and marketing of the Company's Caprolan Nylon, which had been initiated by the former National Division after almost a decade of corporate research and pilot plant study. The best known of Allied's Chemical consumer oriented products, Caprolan is, in chemical terms, a nylon-6 polyamide fiber from caprolactam monomer. Allied was the first to produce captolactam and nylon-6 in America, in 1955, building its monomer plant at Hopewell, Va., and spinning facility nearby in Chesterfield County. The caprolactam plant operated by the Plastics Division, supplied the Fibers Division with raw materials for its heavy- and medium-denier yarn made at the Chesterfield plant near Columbia, South Carolina, which began production in 1962. The heavy deniers went into tire cord, carpeting, upholstery, seat belts, cordage, conveyor belts and similar hard-wearing industrial products where unusual strengths were required. Fine-denier yarns went into hosiery, lingerie, colorful gowns, and many types of apparel including outer wear. In 1968 a new fiber combining the desirable qualities of polyamide and polyester polymers was introduced under the trademark "Source". Its principle use was carpeting.
The Industrial Chemical division — Was established in 1966, consolidating the former National Aniline, Solvay Process, and General Chemical Division — Three of the Company's original components. Their predecessor firms were prominent in the early days of American manufacture. The oldest and largest of National Aniline's predecessor was the Schoellkopf Aniline and Chemical Company, pioneer dye manufacturer, which was started in 1879 at Buffalo, NY. National Aniline itself was formed in1917 by the merger of Schoellkopf with two other dye firms.
The Solvay Process Company, responsible for the first commercial soda ash plant in the United States, was founded in 1881 on the outskirts of Syracuse, NY, near the regional abundance of salt and limestone. The General Chemical Company organized in 1899 through the merger of a dozen basic chemical firms, was the first in America to develop the "contact" process for large production of sulfuric acid. As a major supplier of basic chemicals and leader in supplying sulfuric acid essential in the production of other chemicals as nitric and hydrofluoric acid and aluminum sulfate. Soda ash the leading alkali, together with caustic soda and chlorine form the nucleus of another principal product group required by the industry. Chemicals related to this group are calcium chloride, bicarbonate of soda and hydrogen peroxide.
The above section first appeared: January 2003
Mutual Chemical Company of America was acquired in 1954. Mutual began mining chromite ore near Baltimore, Maryland in 1827, becoming the largest producer of chromium chemicals. Industrial chemicals' principal plants were located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Brunswick, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Claymont, Delaware; East St. Louis, Illinois; El Segundo, California; Green River, Wyoming; Moundsville, West Virginia; Port Chicago, California; and Syracuse, New York.
The Plastics Division –
Once part of the former Barrett Divisions' operations, was made a separate unit in 1958 for the purpose of intensifying research, customer service and market development in the plastics field. The divisions' initial title – Plastics and Coal Chemicals, was shortened to Plastics in 1960.
Barrett Division, one of the original member- firms. The Barrett Company started in Chicago, in 1854, with the first coal-tar still in America and the production of roofing for early western settlers. As a unit of Allied Chemical, Barrett was prominent in building and paving materials — as well as the coal-tar chemicals and plastics was assigned to the Plastics Division.]
In 1967, Allied sold its building materials business; and the paving materials operation, which originated in with Barrett's "Tarvia" at the turn of the century, was transferred to the Agricultural Division In 1953 Allied Chemical acquired the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company's Plaskon Division of Toledo, Ohio. In 1964 Allied acquired the Mesa Plastics Company of Los Angeles, California.
A comprehensive group of specialty products were produced ranging from nylon molding compounds to flourine-based resins. The production of phthalic anhydride and phenols and other tonnage materials for the plastics industry were manufactured at its Philadelphia complex. In Hopewell, Virginia, the division manufactured caprolactum, which was used for its nylon molding compounds. Other principal plant locations were Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Chicago, Illinois; Painesville, Ohio; and Whippany, New Jersey.
The Semet Solvay Division –
One of the five concerns to form Allied Chemical in 1920 originated in 1895. Louis Semet, a relative of Ernest and Alfred Solvay of Brussels, Belgium, had developed with Solvay a coke oven designed to recover valuable materials formerly wasted in the coking process. At Syracuse, New York, in 1892 the Solvay Process Company was the first to construct the new by-product ovens in America, and three years later formed the Semet-Solvay Company to build and operate them. The coke plants were located in Ashland, Kentucky; Buffalo, New York; Detroit, Michigan; and Ironton, Ohio. Semet-Solvay operated its own mines in West Virginia for a substantial portion of its coal supply.
Wilputte Coke Oven Division, a part of Semet-Solvay, evolved from the Wilputte Coke Ovens Corporation, which was acquired by Allied in 1940. Wilputte designed and constructed coke ovens and chemical facilities for the company and for customers in the United States and overseas.

I unexpectedly did some French today when I stumbled across famous French humor or, as the French would say l'humour. I happened to see Remi Gaillard on Youtube. He is one of the original pranksters, famous for crashing football matches, tennis open finals and Mr Universe contests. He also likes to dress up as an animal.
Language needs to be kept playful too. In class today I'll demonstrate various tricks to keep language learning light. The trick with teenagers, however, is not to let it get too much out of hand!
Today's lesson: how not to be intimidated by books.


The database tab offers, under Names and Lists, aid in the search for ancestors from the towns Ober- and Unter-Metzenseifen (UM and OM) and Stoß (ST) and also from other places in today's Slovakia.
After logging on, there are several ways to search the Metzenseifen database. Using the topics, the broadest search is Searching the complete database. To use this choice, select this item. Then enter your surname or a specific year into search box. This provides a listing of all records recorded in "Old Metzenseifen Site" by volunteers. There are over 30,000 items in this database. For a more specific search of church records, the next three choices are birth, marriage, death records and also records of the cemeteries. Make your selection for type of record, then type at least the first three characters of a surname. The result will be displayed below.
The Cemeteries in Metzenseifen-link can be used to find birth and death dates and family relationships. Some photos of tombstones are available on the far right.
Another choice is the search of all parish registers, using the LDS microfilms. Due to the size of this category, you must make several selections to narrow the search to a specific film (see image below). First (1.) you must choose "UM" for Unter-Metzenseifen, "OM" for Ober-Metzenseifen or "ST" for Stoß for the city. See image which shows these choices. Second (2.), you must select which type of record you are searching "B" birth, "M" marriage, "D" death or "A" for all. Third, search down the list to year and month. Note the Image Number (4.) before selecting the link to the LDS films under film number (3.). Once the film appears, you must enter in the image number in the selection box to advance the film to the correct image. Using the forward and backward arrows by the image box, you can advance or go back to the image number you need.
Also note at the bottom of this page, there is an area where you can enter the film number and image number and a specific record and date. This information helps others find records more easily by helping to index these thousands of line items.
Please also see the link to the already digitally recorded church records of Slovakia from 1592 until 1910. This data (abt. 2,000,000) were compiled by volunteers for FamilySearch.org (LDS). Note that, if different, the baptismal date has been recorded for birth. An additional check of these entries is useful.
The Immigrants listing is similar to other searchs. Enter surname to find immigration information submitted by Old Metzenseifen Site volunteers.
The Researcher list allows you to see others who are interested in your surnames.

The first BlackBerry 10 smartphone has been unveiled at BlackBerry World 2012 by RIM CEO Thorsten Heins. The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha prototype is a fully working BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Featuring a build that is similar to that of the PlayBook the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha is running a developer build of BlackBerry 10 and will be made available to developers.
With always-on multi-tasking the Blackberry 10 OS allows users to always access their notifications by simply swiping across the screen, this can then be used to swap applications as well with a graphical UI that looks similar to turning a page.
The keyboard has been completely updated for touchscreen handsets with fluid 'swype-style' predictive text and the ability to 'throw' predicted words up into the copy.
There's no word as yet on specs but given the processor-hungry nature of the UI of BlackBerry 10 expect the Dev Alpha to be running a dual-core processor or higher.
Featuring the same touch sensitive bezel found on the BlackBerry PlayBook the Dev Alpha has a 4.2 inch screen and we can now confirm that with a 1280x468 resolution screen this thing trumps even the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
NFC is on-board with the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha able to connect with NFC-enabled devices while on the side there's a memory card slot and a series of charging and connecting ports.
At present the OS is a modified version of BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 so don't expect to see the same beautifully fluid UI that was shown off at the keynote speech.

Asian American Entrepreneurship: An Asset to the Nation's Economy
November 22, 2011 at 9:30 AM ET by Dilawar Syed
Asian American entrepreneurs are poised to play an expanding role in the U.S. economy by driving innovation in technology, medicine, and many other fields.
November is National Entrepreneurship Month. Asian American entrepreneurs can lay claim to a track record of achievement, innovation, and value creation -- entrepreneurship is core to the Asian American experience. It is the most celebrated and cherished ethos of this fastest growing community in the U.S. Taking the risk to start a business and to work hard to sustain and grow that business is the story of millions of Asian American families.
As leading actors in the U.S. economy, Asian American entrepreneurs' contributions cut across all segments. They are innovators in technology start-ups in Silicon Valley; they operate restaurants and convenience stores in neighborhoods across the U.S.; they run medical clinics, often in underserved communities. Fundamental to this mosaic of entrepreneurial success stories is a set of core characteristics: a strong work ethic, a disciplined pursuit of education, and an unshakeable faith and optimism about the country's future.
The impact of Asian American entrepreneurship is clear and increasingly significant. Today, more than one million Asian American entrepreneurs generate $300 billion in sales, providing jobs for more than 2 million workers. As the U.S. faces difficult economic times, these contributions are a vital catalyst to economic recovery.
When we began our term on the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, we set engagement and support of the entrepreneur community as our top goal. The Asian American businesses' role is critical to the success of the U.S. economy in the 21st century. Their relationships and family bonds in Asia are assets in developing commercial ties with the economies of China, India, and South Korea.
Over the course of the year, I have had the opportunity to meet hundreds of entrepreneurs across the country. The focus of our engagement is to share and disseminate information on federal initiatives and resources that entrepreneurs can utilize to build and grow their ventures. Our inaugural Summit on Entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley drew more than 700 entrepreneurs and kicked off our conversation with business leaders across the U.S. This was followed by a series of events including town hall meetings in Seattle and Las Vegas, as well as policy roundtables on topics including H1-B visas, Health IT, federal contracts and intellectual property protection.
As an entrepreneur who is running a global business, I can relate to the challenges and opportunities entrepreneurs face in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Attracting and retaining top talent is often the most critical business imperative. In recent years, the rising cost of healthcare has inhibited entrepreneurs' ability to expand their teams. Lack of health coverage, which already affects minority communities at higher rates, hampers many firms' ability to hire and retain top talent. I found widespread appreciation among my fellow entrepreneurs for the administration's efforts to reform health insurance, lower costs and boost productivity through participation in insurance exchanges and tax credits – benefits introduced as part of the Affordable Care Act. I also found widespread support from entrepreneurs for the President's proposal as part of the American Jobs Act to cut the payroll tax rate by half. For many small businesses these changes can result in significant savings, allowing for increases in investments in talent and capital expenditures.
As we move forward, the AAPI entrepreneur community has an opportunity to take a leadership role in the U.S. economic recovery. Today's difficult economic environment challenges us all to step forward and help others, to mentor those who are aspiring to be entrepreneurs, and to share knowledge and expertise with those who lack resources. The AAPI community indeed has the capacity and talent to have an impact that transcends communities, if not the world.

After the scale and formality of the launch of the Red Mansion prize exhibition in March, my emotional involvement with art school and my investigations there paused. The quiet space this left slowly expanded, as I relaxed my vice-like grip on planning for the future. But physics declares that nature abhors a void, so in this space other plans were able to take hold.
The hard work continues, conversations start, and common threads emerge. This re-examination of our practice and dominant interests are keys in to new plans and work. One such conversation has resulted in 2 by 3, a collaboration with Bex Massey and Alia Pathan, in which we think about the sculpture in our practice today, the evolution of our making as it follows these interests. Representation, display, communication, physicality, are all explored in our inaugural exhibition, which has been our first opportunity to get our work in one place.
Creating these opportunities to install work differently, and try out new things, feel key to our process. They're key to a lot of processes. The time spent curating and installing, the play that allows new things to happen, and an informal atmosphere which feels supportive, all allow for conversations, critique, experimentation. The autonomy of the exerience is refreshing. It's an antidote to the niggling hangover of the fantasy studio syndrome, the one I'm quick to warn others against, but which applies just as much to myself: that fantasy which makes it tempting to say that the perfect space/funding/time (delete as appropriate) would free me to make x y or z.
The reality is always that the work is now. It's what happens wherever it is you find yourself. Artists I have met in the past have talked about filling sketchbooks during a monotonous commute, or of presenting an MA show made entirely on the college photocopier after the money was gone and a supportive tutor gave you his credit. Louise Bourgeois began exploring her vertical sculptures on the roof of her New York appartment using wood scavenged from the streets as she walked her baby in the pram.So we continue to make work with the tools to hand, and to install it in places we are able to access. To carry on showing, talking and thinking, trying to share our investigations into where we find ourselves and what we are thinking about today. Getting feedback and new angles from new people, and each other, moving things further.


Today, my father would have been 76 years old. In years past, I would call him up, sing him 'Happy Birthday', and attempt to make plans to see him. He would laugh and thank me for serenading him on his birthday. He would ask me how Liz was doing, and how the younger two were. I would share an Addie story and send videos of the two playing together. He would ask me about work, and how my life was going. He didn't understand the concept of Blue Tooth so he would think I was in danger for talking on the phone while driving. This would lead to the goodbye portion of the conversation.
Today, I sat and thought about how much I miss the opportunity I used to have to pick up the phone and hear his voice. As I sat at my kitchen table finishing my lunch, I realized that today was not just his birthday. Today marks 30 years from the day when my life changed forever.
March 18, 1987. My stepfather, mom and I were on our way back from Mass General where I was being formally tested for ADHD or ADD at the time. The H hadn't been added yet. I knew it was my father's birthday and my parents had mentioned that we were going to stop at my soon to be former step-mom's house on our way home. "Are we stopping because it's Dad's birthday?" I asked, truly believing for a moment that he had come to his senses and moved back in with her. I was happy we were going to see them because I adored my father's third wife. Anita was so good to me and I loved my step brothers and sister. I couldn't think of any other reason of why we would stop by other than wishing my Dad a happy birthday.
I was a naive 14 year old. My parents looked at each other and my mom went silent. She didn't say anything other than "I don't know honey." Steve kept driving. I sat in the back, my heart filling with excitement over seeing my father. What I didn't know during that short drive is that I wouldn't see him again until I was 16 years old. I didn't know in that moment, that my father had done something that would change all of us forever, especially him.
My father had a few addictions. I won't go into them here but I will say he enjoyed the slot machines quite a bit. Like many with addictions, his grew out of control and he was making poor decisions based upon impulse. He left the family law practice to start his own business. He isolated himself from the rest of the family, and caused a rift between himself and his wife. I knew that they had split up, and the news made me very sad because I loved them very much. I didn't understand what was happening and kept asking him how it could be fixed during the last dinner we had together.
The last dinner we had together was when he told me that he and Anita were getting a divorce. We were at Mamma Mia's on the waterfront. He gave me a fake Rolex watch and a hundred dollars. I considered it a belated Hanukkah gift. I had no idea it was a goodbye present. Funny that he gave us watches. Did he know that time was going to forever change after that moment?
We reach Anita's house and I get out of the car. I am starting to feel as though it is a tad strange that both of my parents are here to wish him a happy birthday. What was going on? We walk in and Anita asks us to go downstairs and sit in the living room. I remember my step-sister crying and I am trying to figure out what is happening. I was told that my father was in a lot of trouble, that he had taken money that didn't belong to him, and that no one knew where he was. He had left the area and the police were looking for him. It was about to hit the news so everyone thought that I needed to know before everything hit the fan. I was speechless.
Years later, I jokingly said to my father that one thing you don't do with an adopted child is LEAVE them abruptly and disappear for over 18 months. Abandonment issues, anyone?
My story then goes on to taking 5 valium and a beer, a classmate saving my life by calling the police, and me finding myself in one of the three places alcoholics end up at the end of their drinking- only I had just started so….yeah. I landed in a psychiatric hospital for two weeks. I felt worthless and unwanted like I had never felt before. It was absolutely one of the darkest moments of my childhood. The man that I adored and would have done anything to be with, disappeared without a trace and hurt others by his actions.
Being 14, I wasn't able at the time to realize that his actions affected the entire family. I didn't know the effects his actions were on the law office or what my uncles and cousins went through. I wish I was more aware, because I think the feeling like they didn't care would have been eradicated. They cared a lot. My uncle Richard was driving me home after a Seder one night and told me how angry he was at my father. At the time, I felt like he was mad at me but he wasn't. He was angry on my behalf. They all were. No one could really say it at the time and today, I know with every fiber of my being how much the Levins care about me and my family.
That moment in 1987 took my life from one pathway and sent me down another. The man I knew as my father died that day, and Jeff came into the picture in 1989. Jeff hated himself and what he did to his family so much that he left for Florida after he paid his dues in prison. The shame eventually ate away at the man he was and this past October, it finally took him.
In spite of my father's poor decisions, I loved him. Even though he became Jeff, I loved him. He distanced himself from me a few times in my life, and I did from him, but I loved him. Not a day goes by that he isn't in my heart and today, on his birthday, I hope he was blessed with the peace he desperately looked for since March of 1987.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to Me?


Celebrity + airport + photographers. This footage from LAX airport in 2008 was a key exhibit in a California court case this week. The state passed a law with penalties for photographers breaking traffic laws, or impeding the operation of a celebrity's vehicle. If you've never seen aggressive paparazzi in action (oxymoron?), here's what it looks like. Wow. Also, be advised that there are some bad words on this clip. Language alert for sensitive ears.
