As conventional von-Neumann architectures are suffering from rising power densities, we are facing an era with power, energy efficiency, and cooling as first-class constraints for scalable HPC. FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier to use high-level programming models for FPGAs.
Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now in its third year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on legacy and new high-level programming models, optimizations specific to scientific computing and data analytics, tools for performance/energy improvements, FPGA computing in the cloud, and popular applications for reconfigurable computing such as machine learning and big data.
H2RC is a half-day Friday workshop. It will be comprised of a keynote, invited talks and talks selected from paper submissions.
Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance computing architectures and, at a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity, cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data centers and supercomputers. Submissions may report on theoretical or applied research, implementation case studies, benchmarks, standards, or any other area that promises to make a significant contribution to our understanding of heterogeneous high-performance reconfigurable computing and will help to shape future research and implementations in this domain.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions as a ONE PAGE EXTENDED ABSTRACT in ACM SIG Proceedings format.


Tis the Season to Expose Thyself to Inspiration !!!!
I know, I said that I would not email, till after Winter break. But the following is just too good to miss!!!! Thank you for telling me, Jena !!!!
Wednesday through Sunday. Phone number: 619-233-7963. I think the following exhibit is FREE.
Behind the Glamour: The women who built the industry: 1920-1940.
This exhibit will include over 100 glamorous women's compacts from the 1920s and 1930s from the Museum collection. In addition, original sketches of Edith Head and clothing of the era also from our collection.
I think the following exhibit is FREE. What a fun thing to do …… as a break from your crazy busy days before Christmas.
I also want you all to know, that there is a class on Monday, December 16, 2013, for the Using your First Commercial Pattern.
There is also a class on Thursday, January 2, 2014 for Computer Patternmaking.
Bring your sewing machines to class.
Bring 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11 inches fabric to class. MAKE SURE YOU CUT THEM ON GRAIN.
You will also need one 7 inch regular zipper.
One 7 to 9 inch invisible zipper.
One plastic invisible zipper foot kit, if your machine does not come with an invisible zipper foot. If you are going to use the school's machines, you will also need to buy this invisible zipper foot kit.
You will be learning: 2 ways to put in a zipper: Invisible and Exposed. Plus you will learn all about Thread Loops.
Computer Patternmaking: We are working on our final projects. Last Week, I brought in my Collectible Edith Head Barbie Doll for the class to see. The outfit on this doll, I am duplicating full size, so I can wear it. I am doing the project along with the rest of my students. On January 2nd, this class resumes. Hopefully, you will have had the time to work on your project at home. I know I will find the time, to work on my pattern. There are only 7 classes left for Computer Patternmaking in January.
Wish me luck: This Winter Break, my car goes into the shop to repair the damage I did, when I ran into a pot hole. Beware….San Diego pot holes are NOT good for your alignment.
WAWAK Sewing 1-800-654-2235 or www.wawak.com Great Sewing Supply Place. Thank you Terrell !!!!!
I have been taking a fitting analysis class at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and I have learned so much about best fashion industry practices. Because the production cycle for making garments is so short and overseas communication is challenging, industry pros have developed some super-slick and efficient shortcuts for making pattern adjustments.
I will be sharing some of these in the coming weeks (I've been taking careful notes!), but today I want to pass on a really great basic tip that was hit solidly home for me when I did a tech pack project: Do your own fitting.
As part of the project, we had a fitting with a model, and each of us had eight minutes to fit a sample. For every tech pack (which are the directions to the factory on how to make the garment), we took detailed photos. These photos varied according to the alterations, but every tech pack always had three basic photos: a front, side, and back view of the garment on the model.
Now we all have had it hammered home to us the importance of making a muslin (and I admit I have often tried to short-cut this step), but do as I say, not as I do. Then try taking it a step further and put the garment on to take these three basic shots.
As you can see from my shots here, a picture tells a thousand stories, or in this case, at least a couple. It's easy to see right off the bat that the crotch is too low and needs to be adjusted (more on how to do that soon!), and that the pants are too short. While there are some other tweaks that could help for a better fit, just those two can make a huge difference in the fit and look.
So next time you make a garment, grab a buddy and stand up against a white wall and shoot the garment on you from the front, side, and back. Stand naturally, but don't slouch, shift your hips, or cross your arms. You will quickly see any fitting issues.
These fitting techniques work as well for men as for women.
See you all in class !!!!
My classes welcome anyone who wishes to learn.

Proving that a specific language is a CFL, and that another language is not a CFL
I have two languages $C_1$ and $C_2. \left(\Sigma=\{0,1\}\right)$:
$C_1=\left\{xyz\mid x,z \in \Sigma^*, y \in \Sigma^*1\Sigma^*, \text{ where } |x|=|z| \geq |y|\right\}$, and $C_2=\left\{xyz\mid x,z \in \Sigma^*, y \in \Sigma^*1\Sigma^*1\Sigma^*, \text{ where } |x|=|z| \geq |y|\right\}$
I want to show that $C_1$ is a CFL, while $C_2$ is not a CFL. I'm trying to create a grammar / pushdown automata that accepts $L(C_1)$, but the $|x|=|z| \geq |y|$ part is throwing me off. I plan on using the pumping lemma for $C_2$, but I'm not sure which string to pump.
formal-languages context-free pumping-lemma pushdown-automata
Ran G.
$\begingroup$ 1. Use the non-determinism of PDAs (if you use a PDA) 2. If $x'1z' \in C_1$ and the $1$ is the middle $1$ mentioned in the definition, what do you know about $|x'|$ and $|z'|$.? $C_2:$ Consider a long word with few (not to close) $1$s. If you found a solution, consider answering yourself. $\endgroup$ – frafl Mar 10 '13 at 23:17
$\begingroup$ I like the question! Harder than the usual ones. $\endgroup$ – Yuval Filmus Mar 10 '13 at 23:26
$\begingroup$ @frafl, for the PDA, $|x'|=|z'|$, right? I'm not sure how to keep track of the length of the middle section though. If I use the stack to keep track of the lengths of the left and right sections, how can I make sure that the length of the middle section is shorter? The moment I start popping off the stack to test the middle section's length, I lose information about the left section's length, which I need for the right section. $\endgroup$ – user1526710 Mar 11 '13 at 2:55
$\begingroup$ No, they don't have to be equal (see the answer below). Using this extremes you don't have to count the length of the middle part, because their is no middle part anymore, only left and right. Now let your PDA guess, which part is longer and whether a $1$ is the one you search. $\endgroup$ – frafl Mar 11 '13 at 6:53
First you have to realize that the extremes of the strings are of the form $0^n10^{2n-1}$ and $0^{2n-1}10^n$. You can get a language similar to that by the grammar $S \to 1 \mid 0S00 \mid 00S0$. From this some fine-tuning is needed. First to get $1$'s at the places where now only $0$'s are. Then to get the boundary conditions exactly right.
For the non-context-free other language I would also consider an "extreme" string, similar to $0^n10^n10^n$. That is not exactly one from the language, but close enough for a start.
(Nice exercise, that problem 2.48a in Sipser)
Yuval Filmus
Hendrik JanHendrik Jan
$\begingroup$ Brilliant, didn't think of using extreme forms of the string to achieve desired effect! I'll try it out. $\endgroup$ – user1526710 Mar 10 '13 at 23:47
$\begingroup$ That is wrong. The description of $C_1$ only says there is a 1 somewhere near the middle (and two for $C_2$), so $1111 \ldots 11 \in C_{1,2}$. $\endgroup$ – vonbrand Mar 11 '13 at 1:11

I love Spring, Easter time, the renewal of all the colours outdoors and saying goodbye to winter. I also love to entertain and getting together with loved ones, and Easter is no exception. That's why I was super excited to be able to put together this fun Easter tablescape.
In this post, I'll share how I put together this quick and easy tablescape for our Easter dinner.
Next, I added this fun boxwood garland (found at the dollar store) around each charger. I love how this turned out, as it ties together all the green tones of the season.
Next I busted out my clear glass plates and wine glasses. My late grandmother-in-law's gorgeous silver was displayed proudly for the occasion, and I love how it makes everything feel sparkly and elegant.
For the centrepiece, I added my vintage farmhouse toolbox that I built earlier this month. You can read all about that project here.
I added some faux tulips (but real ones will work just fine too) to my toolbox centrepiece with floral foam, along with some spanish moss to fill in the gaps along with some painted Easter eggs.

Illinois' US Senators, Reps. Respond to Trump's Executive Order on Refugees
Alex Ruppenthal | January 30, 2017 1:39 pm
Protesters and immigration lawyers rushed to O'Hare International Airport this weekend in response to President Donald Trump's executive order temporarily banning immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
By Monday morning, a majority of Illinois' congressional members had reacted to the order through written statements and/or social media posts. We've compiled their responses below.
NOTE: As of noon Monday, Chicago Tonight had not received statements from U.S. Reps. Bobby Rush (Democrat, 1st District), Peter Roskam (Republican, 6th District), Danny Davis (Democrat, 7th District), Rodney Davis (Republican, 13th District) and Darin LaHood (Republican, 18th District).

U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth
U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth
The two issued a joint statement Sunday calling on the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General to investigate DHS' "potentially illegal implementation" of Trump's executive order.
"We are deeply concerned by [Customs and Border Protection's] failure to respond to time-sensitive Congressional oversight inquiries and allegations that the agency refused to permit attorneys to meet with detained LPRs at O'Hare and other airports across the country," Durbin and Duckworth said in the statement.
Read their full statement here
The senators also issued separate statements on Friday, when Trump signed the order.
"As a child, I witnessed the refugee crisis borne out of people fleeing the Khmer Rouge and Pathet Lao in Southeast Asia with my own eyes," Duckworth said. "I'm proud that our nation acted during that crisis to take in refugees, but I remain motivated by the knowledge that we could have done much, much more ... The America that I know is not one that slams its doors on families and children fleeing barbarism and terror, but one that shines brightly as a beacon of hope for all human beings. Giving in to our fears, as the President has done, is not the action of a strong country."
Read Duckworth's full statement here
Durbin's statement called on congressional Republicans reject Trump's executive order.
"History will judge where America's leaders stood today," Durbin said. "Faced with the humanitarian crisis of our time, the United States cannot turn its back on children fleeing persecution, genocide, and terror. During the Holocaust we failed to fulfill to our duty to humanity. We cannot allow mindless fear to lead us into another regretful chapter in our history."

U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (Democrat – 2nd District)
Kelly joined protesters Sunday at O'Hare and denounced Trump's order on Facebook and Twitter.

— Robin Kelly (@RepRobinKelly) January 30, 2017
U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (Democrat – 3rd District)
On Twitter, Lipinski said he opposed the executive order and said his office was "open to assist all individuals and families with immigration-related issues."
While we need policies to keep us safe, this hurts #Muslims and others whose help we need to fight #terrorism.
— Rep. Daniel Lipinski (@RepLipinski) January 29, 2017
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Democrat – 4th District)
Gutierrez issued a statement Friday responding to Trump's order.
"Man up, Mr. President," he said. "Have faith in the strength of your own country and the vitality of her citizens and culture. A nation of 300 million people that has blazed a trail for the world for more than 240 years can withstand 50,000 moms, dads and children fleeing for their lives. We always have and we always should."
Read his full statement here
U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley (Democrat – 5th District)
Quigley issued a statement Saturday.
"President Trump's executive order creating a Muslim ban undermines the foundational ideals of the United States, a nation founded by immigrants," he said. "I call on the Administration to immediately rescind this shameful order, which will have very real and dangerous consequences."
U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (Democrat – 8th District)
On Saturday, Krishnamoorthi joined protesters at O'Hare.

Schawkowsky joined protesters at O'Hare on Sunday after participating in a rally and "Know Your Rights" event for Iraqi and Syrian immigrants and refugees.
"If the President wants to kick out our immigrant brothers and sisters, we'll link arms and stand in the doorway," Schakowsky said on Facebook. "If the President wants to block legal residents and visitors from entering our nation of immigrants, we'll be at the airports to bring them home."

U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (Democrat – 10th District)
Schneider issued a statement Friday denouncing the order.
"Today's executive order is a disgraceful and callous attempt to ban members of one religion by instituting a de facto religious test for entry," he said. "This discriminatory order does nothing to target the root causes of terrorism, does not make our country safer, and undermines the very values that define our nation."
U.S. Rep. Bill Foster (Democrat – 11th District)
Foster responded Saturday on Twitter.
.@POTUS - we are a nation of immigrants, and we reject any ugly attempt to divide us. #MuslimBan
— Bill Foster (@RepBillFoster) January 28, 2017
U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (Republican – 12th District)
Bost issued a statement through a spokesperson but did not denounce Trump's order.
"Congressman Bost believes the top priority of the federal government is to keep the American people safe," said Bost's Communications Director, George O'Connor, via email. "It has become clear that we need a top-down review of our vetting process, and that it can be conducted in a manner that respects the rights of law-biding citizens. In the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere, Congressman Bost voted for bipartisan legislation to pause the intake of refugees from certain high risk locations until our screening systems are improved. Given the world we live in today, taking steps to strengthen our national security is simple common sense."
U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren (Republican – 14th District)
Hultgren said it's "prudent" to review and strengthen the country's visa screening processes but called Trump's executive order "overly broad," noting "its interpretation has been inconsistent and confused."
"I believe that the vetting within the refugee program is already extensive and thorough—it is currently the most difficult and lengthy process to get into the United States, typically taking 18 months or more for a vulnerable family to survive while they wait approval to enter our country. I expect the rigor of the vetting process to be confirmed during the 120-day review of our current visa policies regarding refugees," he said.
U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (Republican – 15th District)
Shimkus issued a statement Sunday that was mostly in support of Trump's order.
"This temporary halt will give Congress and the new Administration time to evaluate and improve the vetting process, and in the meantime gives Secretary Kelly authority to grant exceptions to the restrictions as needed," he said.
U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Republican – 16th District)
On Sunday, Kinzinger responded with a statement stressing the importance of national security in the "generational fight against radical Islamist terrorism." But he also called on the administration to provide clarity on the order and said the reported detention of green card holders was "unacceptable."
"I support a comprehensive look at our vetting process, and I believe it's something every new administration would be expected to do," he said. "However, reports of green card holders and those who assisted us in the war on terror being denied or delayed entry is deeply concerning. Such detention is unacceptable and must be remedied immediately."
U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos (Democrat – 17th District)
Bustos published a statement Saturday rejecting the executive order.
"Once again, President Donald Trump's impulsive behavior has put lives at risk – this time it's innocent victims fleeing ISIS terrorists and Iraqis who stood with our military," she said. "Donald Trump's hastily drafted executive order diminishes America's superpower role as a global example for democracy while undermining our national security by breaking the trust between American troops in the field and the foreign fighters they count on every single day."

Technical Announcement
U.S. Departments of Energy and Interior Partner to Explore Potential for Geologic Carbon Storage
By Communications and Publishing December 2, 2021
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the U.S. Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing cooperation between the two agencies to assess global, regional and national resources for geologic carbon storage.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important and proven global method used to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and industrial facilities by capturing the CO2 they produce and transporting it to safe, permanent storage deep underground. Capturing and storing the CO2 prevents it from being released into the atmosphere, which is critical to achieving the Biden-Harris administration's goals to produce 100% clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050, as well as assist other countries in meeting their climate goals.
"The USGS produced the first U.S. national assessment of geologic carbon storage potential in 2013," said Dr. Sarah Ryker, USGS Associate Director for Energy and Mineral Resources. "This partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy will enable us to provide technical leadership and capacity building to help other nations research safe and reliable geologic carbon storage options throughout the world. We will jointly build toward national, regional, and global assessments of the potential for geological storage options throughout the world, and for application of carbon capture and storage technologies."
"To help drive the critical energy transition needed to address the climate crisis, our federal agencies must pull together to focus and strengthen our global decarbonization efforts," said Acting Assistant Secretary for DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, Dr. Jennifer Wilcox. "Carbon capture and storage is key to delivering rapid emission reductions in our power and industrial sectors, and we are excited to work with the U.S. Geological Survey and our international partners to evaluate CO2 storage resources and identify new investment opportunities for expanding our research, development, demonstration and deployment of CCS."
Under this partnership, the two U.S. agencies will collaborate with multiple international governments, geologic surveys, and other organizations to provide technical assistance through a series of discussions, meetings, workshops and research activities that will contribute to a better understanding of current and potential resources for geologic CO2 storage. This information will be used by government, academia, industry, research organizations and other stakeholders to help identify potential investment opportunities for research, development, demonstration and deployment that will advance CCS technologies for application in power and industrial sectors. Investing in CCS advancements is essential for decarbonizing the power and industrial sectors and addressing legacy emissions to help countries throughout the world meet their climate goals necessary to tackle this global climate crisis.

The Informatics Shared Resource (ISR) of the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii (CRCH) was established as a core facility in 2004. Its goal is to promote multidisciplinary collaboration, and enhance the research excellence and productivity of CRCH by providing access to biomedical informatics expertise and computational support to all members of the Center. The prime objective of the ISR is to facilitate the management, sharing, and integration of diverse data types in cancer research, as well as the synthesis and analysis of more focused data sets from the basic, clinical, genomics and population sciences. The bioinformatics group of the ISR supports a dedicated scientific computing network for computational cancer biology,and leads the development and application of advanced algorithms and software tools that enable Center investigators to take a more integrative approach to cancer research for the purpose of accelerating the translation of basic research results into the clinic.
Lab has two of these instruments.
The ISR provides expertise in the design and programming of bioinformatics tools and algorithms dedicated to the analysis, visualization and interpretation of high dimensional, genomic data sets. The ISR has also developed and maintains a web-based suite of analytical tools (CRCHXpress) that greatly accelerates the analysis, visualization and interpretation of microarray data of all kinds through the use of an intuitive, point-and-click graphical user interface. Other software tools that are available to investigators include Ingenuity Pathway Analysis for assessing the biological significance gene lists, Pathway Studio for inferring the up- and down-stream effects of a given set of molecules, and Geospiza/GeneSifter for the multi-way statistical analysis of microarray and next-generation sequence datasets. The ISR provides consultation and support on use of genomics and proteomics data repositories such as the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) which provides access to data for almost a billion expression measurements in over 4,000 experiments from over 1,000 organisms. The ISR also conducts research and development in new analytical tools and methods that ensure that Center investigators can quickly and effectively exploit the latest technology advances in cancer genomics, proteomics and systems biology.
The CRCH has been a participating member of the NCI Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) project (http://cabig.nci.nih.gov/) since the project was launched in February 2004. The caBIG project is a multi-centered initiative to build an informatics infrastructure for the development and sharing of tools and data in an open environment with common standards. In parallel with our participation in the caBIG project, the ISR is spearheading the effort to adopt the caBIG framework to build an integrative web-based system for all informatics needs at the CRCH. The ISR will be collaborating with other shared resources (e.g. the Biostatistics Shared Resource, Genotyping Shared Resource, Analytical Laboratory Shared Resource, Pathology Shared Resource, and the Clinical Protocol and Data Management Shared Resource) on this endeavor.
The ISR reviews commercial third-party software applications and provides investigators with software recommendations to meet their specific needs. The ISR also develops customized software tools and algorithms that address specific data management and analysis issues faced by investigators in a fast changing research environment. We have extensive experience in general programming languages such as HTML, JAVA, C, C++, Visual Basic, Matlab, R/Bioconductor and ASP.net and provide access to a number of specialized third-party software applications such as Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, Pathway Studio, and Geospiza/GeneSifter.
Consultation is provided on data management issues to ensure that the complex data from diverse sources can be integrated in appropriate ways prior to analysis. The ISR will aid researchers in publishing their data for use by others, if desired. In particular, the bioinformatics group of the ISR provides consultation to investigators on appropriate ways to structure, store, retrieve/extract high-dimensional genomics data sets for downstream normalization, visualization and analysis.
The ISR provides consultation on design issues of complex relational as well as hierarchical information/database systems. Programmers within the ISR develop these systems in consultation with investigators and users and are also available for consultation to researchers developing database systems dedicated to a specific task or research project.

With flat IT headcounts, getting the best data matters
Feb 12, 2021 | Video Conferencing
While no one has had an easy time managing work responsibilities during the Covid-19 pandemic, it's time to appreciate the responsibilities that unified communications teams have faced. With UC and IT headcounts staying flat, or barely changed over the past year, IT team workloads have exploded due to the need to manage a huge shift to remote work.
That change has introduced far more variables – insufficient personal equipment, home Internet connections, new collaboration and UC tools – that make it more challenging than ever to make sure call quality and overall functionality remain high. The scales have tipped heavily, and with hybrid work expected to become the norm going forward there's likely not going to be a return to the old way of doing business anytime soon.
Wayne Bolen, a sales engineer for Vyopta, said with IT headcounts remaining static teams have had to expand their knowledge base and become more flexible in a hurry while in almost all cases not adding staff amid a highly unpredictable business climate.
"The same team that's responsible for call manager and millions of dollars worth of endpoints now is responsible to make sure Zoom is up and running and functional across tens of thousands of employees, and that's a new system for those guys," he said.
"Regardless of who's responsible for that, when you go from every one of 50,000 employees on prem to 90 percent of those people being remote your usage drastically shifts. Now the guy responsible for making sure the Cisco endpoint is up, and that the touch panel works and the camera is functional for your meetings is also trying to troubleshoot a user who was on a Zoom call or Microsoft Teams call and had very poor quality."
Remote work scenarios can play havoc with the traditional decision tree and analysis for troubleshooting quality issues with a huge increase in voice and video calls. Bolen said factors such as having too many applications and browser tabs open on a home desktop can spike CPU workload and contribute to quality issues. And adding a virtual background to the mix in a remote conference call can actually make the problem worse. (No cat filters, please.)
The challenge faced by IT and UC teams in those situations, Bolen said, is it's difficult to find the cause of the problem on off-premise hardware and UCaaS platforms using OEM monitoring tools that can't look at what's happening in a multivendor environment.
"There's always going to be a learning curve, especially customers who are now multivendor. It can be hard to aggregate all that data together," Bolen said.
"Customers might be happy but not thrilled with the OEM tools they have but it's not hard to see when you add all these different scenarios and solutions together and you've still got the same team supporting everything it becomes a bit of a hurdle and a challenge to pull data from each place. There's a Zoom dashboard and then you've got Cisco and both of them used on a call, now I've more to troubleshoot when there's an issue."
Flat IT headcounts call for better monitoring
With their workloads at an all-time high, Vyopta's new Intelligent Monitoring Engine offers IT and UC teams the ability to monitor and manage multivendor environments more efficiently than ever before. Not only is troubleshooting easier than ever thanks to reports and dashboards that can examine all factors affecting a call, but the ability to create 24/7 alerts for specific scenarios offers a new level of detail to quickly address important issues.
Nick Wiik, senior product manager for Vyopta, said 24/7 monitoring is one of the pillars behind the creation of the Intelligent Monitoring Engine, as well as the granularity to aggregate only the most relevant data on quality and usage.
"You can go through and have these really granular alerts, and you customize them to send, or not send, based on the thresholds that you set," he said. "Now you can have a view of everything with one consolidated real-time status."
Wiik said amid flat IT headcounts and workplaces transformed in the wake of the pandemic, teams need the best data possible, presented in the clearest way so they can handle dramatically increased use of collaboration and UCaaS platforms. When a company with 15 offices has to shift to managing the experience for thousands of remote home offices, it's easy to get overwhelmed without the best possible monitoring and analytics tools.
"There's way less in their control, and a much bigger need for visibility. So you have to think that it really has to increase the need for a more granular monitoring agenda to look at all of the elements," he said.
"They're not getting any help. They're not getting any support in the sense of IT headcount growth. Yet their responsibilities in terms of managing who's participating in this (meeting) with the home environments complexity, all of that skyrocketed. Yet they don't have a growing headcount. It's just this weird expectation with IT. Obviously the pandemic's kind of an outlier situation but for some reason, there's this pervasive trend of not growing IT headcount. We've definitely seen that being a key driver for the increased demand for more intelligence and the ability to intelligently monitor."

10,000 Flags Planted to Honor US Nation's Heroes
Jose Harris National May 29, 2016 June 6, 2016 0 Comment
Mary Alice Horrigan lost her son who has worked and died as Army Master. She is mother Sgt. Robert M.Horrigan. He was killed in Iraq by hostile fire. He passed away while serving in the Army at 40 years. He was planning to return to his native and has already applied for retirement. In the United States, about 10,000 flags were planted in the memory of nation's heroes. Each flat represent one hundred heroes who have died while at work and in action. More than one million heroes have died since emerging of the United States.
Robert died for the mission he volunteered. When he stepped inside the mission, his team told encouraged him to step back. They did not want him to go. But Robert has told that he is the leader and he should take part in the mission. Mary was waiting for his son to return. Delta Force commando usually returns once the mission is over. It has happened several times. She has sent him on several missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. She was disappointed the last time since he did not turn back. Robert was given the Bronze Star Medal with the Purple Heart and the Valor Device. He was awarded Legion of Merit Medal.
The sacrifice of Master Sgt. Robert M.Horrigan is inspiring. It has inspired to establish Operation Honor Our Heroes which is a nonprofit Austin-based organization. It has been managed and run by a small team of volunteers. They planted flags in the capital nation to remark the Memorial Day weekend. Recently fallen soldiers were marked with photos. Mary told that she did not want to see just the flag. She and other team members wanted to see the faces behind the flag. They wanted to know who have passed in the war. Nancy Glass established this organization.

Attack in University of California, Los Angeles
Jose Harris National May 2, 2016 June 6, 2016 0 Comment
Police officers rushed to the University of California after hearing gun shots. They were worried whether it could be an active shooter on the campus. They were surprised to discover controlled murder-suicide. A gunman was trying to kill his former professor. There was a note requesting the police authorities to verify the cat of gunman that was almost 2,000 miles away. It was a clean planned attack. The note helped the police officers to trace a violent and unusual plan. The police officer discovered on Thursday that the kill list included a woman. She was seen dead outside Minneapolis. The Los Angeles Police Department Chief – Charlie Beck that it was found in the Minnesota home of the shooter.
Mainak Sarkar, who is 38 years old, is the gunman believed by the police. He has traveled to the University of California, Los Angeles with a grudge on Wednesday. He was in terrific anger against William Klug. He is an engineering professor who is 39 years old. He chaired mechanical engineering doctoral thesis committee three years ago. It was also said that Sarkar was carrying extra ammunition and two semi-automatic pistols with an intention to kill another University of California, Los Angeles professor who is still not known. He was the third person on his list. When Sarkar arrived, the professor was outside the campus.
The gunman went to the fourth floor and had reached Klug's office in the engineering building. He has shot Klug, who is a father of two kids and husband. Beck said he easily shot him dead. The police arrived immediately hearing the gun shot. They followed the note mentioned by Beck and found another person dead as listed.
They found a name of woman mentioned in the list. When the officers went to her home, she was found dead. She was seen with gunshot wound.

David Stenner
Globalizing Morocco
Available at your local independent book store.
Published by Stanford University Press.
The end of World War II heralded a new global order. Decolonization swept the world and the United Nations, founded in 1945, came to embody the hopes of the world's colonized people as an instrument of freedom. North Africa became a particularly contested region and events there reverberated around the world. In Morocco, the emerging nationalist movement developed social networks that spanned three continents and engaged supporters from CIA agents, British journalists, and Asian diplomats to a Coca-Cola manager and a former First Lady. This book traces how these networks helped the nationalists achieve independence—and then enabled the establishment of an authoritarian monarchy that persists today.
Globalizing Morocco tells the story of the Moroccan activists who managed to sway world opinion against the French and Spanish colonial authorities to gain independence, and in so doing illustrates how they contributed to the formation of international relations during the early Cold War. Looking at post-1945 world politics from the Moroccan vantage point, we can see fissures in the global order that allowed the peoples of Africa and Asia to influence a hierarchical system whose main purpose had been to keep them at the bottom. In the process, these anticolonial networks created an influential new model for transnational activism that remains relevant still to contemporary struggles.
"David Stenner's sophisticated study of the Moroccan nationalists' social-political international network innovates the conversation on modern Middle Eastern and decolonization history. This rich story reflects the all-out pragmatism of the Moroccans, and culminates in an ironic twist when the nationalists' network is turned into a domestic liability. A great, well-argued read."
—Cyrus Schayegh, The Graduate Institute, Geneva
"David Stenner locates Moroccan nationalists at the vanguard of what would become a worldwide movement of anti-colonial revolutionaries—a full decade before the conference at Bandung, Moroccan activists navigated the global circuits of the Cold War world in pursuit of sovereignty.Globalizing Moroccois an important contribution to the new Cold War history and the history of decolonization."
—Paul Thomas Chamberlin, Columbia University
"David Stenner's book is the best transnational history of Moroccan independence I've ever read, including work in French and Arabic. Globalizing Moroccois as deep as it is easy to read. A masterful success."
—Maâti Monjib, University of Mohammed V, Rabat

Colts Daily Notebook: T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice; Justin Houston Prepares For Former Team
The Indianapolis Colts on Thursday held their second of three practices as they prepare for Sunday night's Week 5 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. What all did we learn on the day?
Colts.com Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts have had their fair share of injuries the past couple weeks, yet slowly, but surely, some of their key players are working their way back.
On Wednesday, the team saw All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard practice for the first time in two weeks as he works his way through the league's concussion protocol.
And then today the team saw the return of top wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who missed last Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders with a quad injury.
Both Leonard and Hilton were limited participants on Thursday, but their presence is a good sign nonetheless for a Colts team preparing for Sunday's primetime contest on the road against the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs.
Hilton had told reporters on Wednesday that he was "feeling good," but when pressed about his availability against the Chiefs, he said it was up to the coaches.
Another factor surrounding Hilton's potential return is the Colts' bye week, which follows Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Head coach Frank Reich said Wednesday the team was weighing the pros and cons associated with Hilton playing Sunday vs. getting two more weeks of rest.
"It's always a factor, but every game is so critical," Reich said. "Obviously this game is really important to us so we'll weigh all of that as we go."
Those who remained out Thursday for the Colts included wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdominal), safety Clayton Geathers (concussion) and running back Marlon Mack (ankle).
Houston's intel
Justin Houston racked up 78.5 sacks in the first eight seasons of his career with the Chiefs before being released by the team this offseason.
Accordingly, No. 99 has been a popular figure in defensive meetings this week as they prepare for reigning league Most Valuable Player Patrick Mahomes and the potent Kansas City offense.
"They ask questions," Houston said today. "They definitely are a different unit over there now that a lot of the same guys that were normally there (are gone). The offense has switched up so it's kind of new to us. But the defense definitely has been asking me a lot of questions about the guys."
The Chiefs have kept their record-setting momentum from last year going through four games this year; they rank first in the NFL in points scored, passing yards, fewest interceptions and are second in total yards, first downs and passing touchdowns.
Mahomes, of course, is leading the charge. The 24-year-old has completed 106-of-156 of his passes (67.9 percent) for 1,510 yards with 10 touchdowns to zero interceptions for a rating of 120.4.
After practicing against Mahomes every day the last couple years, Houston said it's been impressive to take a step back and try to implement a gameplan to stop him.
"He's a special guy. He's one of a kind," Houston said. "He's Pat Mahomes, the throws he makes – he can make every throw, he can see everything (and) he has eyes in the back of his head. He's a great quarterback."
Houston, for his part, says he's not thinking much about returning to his former home — it is a business trip, after all. But his former head coach with the Chiefs, Andy Reid, was singing Houston's praises on a conference call with the Indianapolis media this week.
"He's one of the best players I've ever had an opportunity to coach and he's a great guy," Reid said. "He was one of my leaders here and he was a leader here before I got here. It'll be different. I've been watching tape on him, so it's different seeing him in that uniform, but it's the same player. He plays his heart out and he's a tough kid. Great player though."
Here's the full injury report from Thursday's practice:
» DNP: WR Parris Campbell (abdominal); S Clayton Geathers (concussion); S Malik Hooker (knee); DT/DE Tyquan Lewis (ankle); RB Marlon Mack (ankle); DE Jabaal Sheard (not injury related; rest)
» Limited: WR T.Y. Hilton (quad); LB Darius Leonard (concussion); CB Rock Ya-Sin (hip)

BAR HARBOR, Maine — Life for humans on a 3-acre rocky ledge 25 miles out in the ocean can never really be called normal, but officials and students at College of the Atlantic are hoping their seasonal activity on the remote, treeless outcropping soon will resume as it has for the past several summers.
The summer programs that College of the Atlantic holds each year on Mount Desert Rock faced a significant challenge last summer when Hurricane Bill, passing by the Gulf of Maine, churned up exceptionally heavy surf along Maine's rocky coast.
On Mount Desert Island, the hurricane's waves claimed the life of 7-year- old Clio Axilrod, a girl from New York City who was swept into the ocean with others while she and her family were watching the roiling waters near Thunder Hole.
On Mount Desert Rock, the highest point of which is only a few feet above the high-tide mark, the rough seas decimated some of the college's buildings, which had been evacuated of COA staff and students as the storm approached. Entire walls of the boathouse and generator shed were washed away into the ocean. The storm surge flooded the house, tossing furniture and appliances around inside like pieces of pressed foam. Heavy equipment in some of the outbuildings such as an I-beam, a chain hoist and an air compressor simply vanished forever into the raging waves.
But not all was lost or damaged. Despite the first floor being trashed, the house remained structurally sound. The 70-foot-high lighthouse tower, built in 1847 with brick and granite walls four feet thick, was unscathed.
Because these two structures remain, and either are usable or can be made so again, the college has decided that research and classes on Mount Desert Rock can continue. For the past couple of weeks, work crews have been spending days at a time on the island, trying to make repairs to the house so research can resume in mid-July and classes can be held in August.
After assessing the storm's damage last year, college officials canceled the remainder of last year's ocean and marine mammal research programs at the field station and secured the facility for the winter while they decided how to go forward. COA knew the scientific and educational values of the facility and its programs were too great to let them fade in the hurricane's wake, they said.
The programs COA offers on the remote island are almost unheard of at the undergraduate level and are in growing demand, according to COA officials.
Running these programs on a remote island 25 miles out to sea is more expensive than running them from a conventional classroom setting, however. Even maintaining the buildings on Mount Desert Rock is no easy task.
There is no dock or sheltered shore access on the small island, so all supplies have to be taken ashore in small boats as the weather allows. The time and effort it takes in getting onto the island turns usually simple tasks such as painting into logistical challenges and expensive endeavors.
According to Todd, the college is spending between $50,000 and $80,000 just to make the house livable for the summer. The island boardwalks have to be rebuilt, as do the house's exterior stairs and porches. Everything inside the house has to be replaced, including furniture and the propane-powered appliances. The station's radio equipment might be salvageable, he said.
The destroyed generator shed and boathouse are not being rebuilt this year, Todd said. Those are considered lower priorities and will be rebuilt as time and resources allow.
The facility was insured, according to Todd, but the insurer determined the damage was caused by flooding, which was not covered in the college's policy. Getting any insurer to cover buildings that are so close to the water, he said, is extremely difficult. Todd said that if the damage been caused by wind, the college could re-cover some of its expenses in rebuilding on Mount Desert Rock through its policy.
But how the repairs are paid for is not as important as making sure the programs on Mount Desert Rock continue, Todd said. The college intends to solicit donations to help ensure the filed station and its programs have a future, he said.

Breaking barriers with break bulk cargo
Issue 11 January, 2019 SUCCESS STORY 0 Share On :
In success with heavy weightsKudos to the Mumbai team for successfully executing the movement of a massive consignment from China to Gabon!
ECU's Mumbai-based team in India has been notching up impressive credentials for itself within a short span of time. Recently, the team achieved a major success, by moving a consignment comprising trucks, trailers and parts that collectively weighed over 11,600 tons.
This is the heaviest consignment that the Mumbai team has handled till date. This massive task was undertaken for SEZ Ports SA in Gabon who requested for a break bulk movement of goods from China to Gabon, a Central African country along the Atlantic coast.
This was not an easy feat as the Mumbai team has to surmount stiff competition from other industry players. The consignment was loaded from ports in Long Kou and Shanghai in China and took 38 days to reach its destination in Libreville, Gabon.
The recent typhoon in Asia added to its challenges, as a result of which several schedules were disrupted as a number of ports were closed for a few days, thus impacting the movement of vessels. However, the team worked around the hurdles and moved the cargo within the agreed time frame.
The Mumbai team has been associated with SEZ Ports for over 10 months now during which it has worked on regular container movement from Nhava Sheva — the largest container port in India — to Gabon. However, this was the first time that the team executed a movement from China to Gabon. The team members made sure that every process was carried out smoothly within the stipulated time! This project was executed by Mihir Paleja from the Sales team. He took charge of the tasks at hand and ensured efficiency all through.
The Mumbai team has been striving for excellence with its dedicated efforts and has created a strong network of clients. It has engaged in regular cross-border shipments for prominent organisations like Jacobi Carbon, Blue Star Limited, Samsonite Limited, Sterling & Wilson, etc. It has also served major industry players like Voltas, Godrej, Bajaj, Hero Motocorp, Mat Brakes, etc.

Korbel Champagne Cellars
Monday Jun 6, 2016 | Guerneville
Korbel Champagne Cellars was bought in 1954 by Adolf Heck. The previous four years he had been president of Italian Swiss Colony Winery. Under Heck's leadership, Swiss Colony developed one of the most successful marketing campaigns in the history of spirits, using "the little old winemaker, me" tagline for its advertisements. After four years at the helm, Heck had transformed Swiss Colony into the largest American winery before moving over to Korbel. There he continued his winning ways, thinking of creative promotional stunts for the bubbly. One such venture served dual purposes when he hooked up with the producers of the 1962 T.V. series, Combat!, starring Vic Marrow. (more…)
Saturday Jun 4, 2016 | Guerneville
Korbel Champagne Cellars started off with a bang–literally. According to family lore, Francis Korbel was in Prague in 1848 and fired the shot that started a revolution against the monarch of the Austrian Empire. The young Korbel landed in Daliborka Prison. He managed to escape, however, reportedly with the help of his grandmother who provided civilian clothes that allowed him to stroll out an unlocked gate to freedom, casually smoking a cigar. He soon fled to New York City and then to San Francisco. (more…)


2012 has seen an increase in West Nile Virus (WNV) cases due to mosquito bites. Especially hard hit is the United States where there have been around 100 000 people infected. 47 deaths have been confirmed. Texas alone accounts for almost half of these cases. Although not as prevalent in Toronto there have been, according to Toronto Public Health, 18 cases confirmed and 43 probable as of September 5th.
West Nile Virus symptoms can vary wildly between individuals. Some cases can go undetected (asymptomatic). Mild cases can cause flu-like symptoms and severe cases can result in muscle paralysis/weakness, convulsions, tremors and other symptoms related to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). With summer ending it should no longer be an issue right? Wrong – WNV cases usually go up in September!
Eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites. Mosquitoes love standing water so clean or remove sources of standing water such as bird baths, ease-troughs, old tires, toys and kid's pools, plant containers, wheel barrows, outdoor animal dishes or anything else that might hold still water.
Use fine mesh screens on windows ensuring a tight fit and that no holes are present.
Use Health Canada approved insect repellant with 10 – 30% DEET. Use DEET minimally as it is dangerous in large doses. Don't use DEET on children under 6 years of age.
Protect yourself at peak mosquito times like dusk and dawn by wearing light coloured clothing, long sleeved shirts, pants, shoes and socks.

I can not thank you adequately for the posts on your web site. I know you'd put a lot of time and effort into them and hope you know how much I appreciate it. I hope I'll do exactly the same for someone else at some point.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post's to be what precisely I'm looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome web site!
I would be open to have guest writers provide content. If you are interested you can email a post to me so I can take a look at your style and see if it jives with Hybrid Health and Fitness. Thanks.
One is right to be concerned here. No one really knows why this summer's outbreak has been the worst on record, and where this all is headed. Do we all now go out and buy as much mosquito repellant and bottled water as we can? Information is the key. Stay informed; stay healthy.
whoah this blog is magnificent i love reading your posts. Keep up the good work! You know, a lot of people are searching around for this info, you could help them greatly.
I was incredibly disappointed in your recommendation that people use insecticides containing DEET considering that it is neurotoxic to humans, and heaven knows what the impact is on animals and our Earth.
I have been a GoodLife member for years and it takes a lot for me to respond to information found in their newsletters. I am continually puzzled at the rampant disconnect between so many people in the "health" and fitness industry who recommend toxic products like this or so-called health or food drinks that are laden with toxins. And I will never forget GoodLife's promo with the chocolate milk producers trying to claim it was a great post workout drink. Oh my. Really?
In any case, there are sooooooooooooo many products now available that can ward off mosquitoes that are not anywhere near as toxic as DEET. I for one, would like to leave our planet in better shape than it is now for generations to come. As a "health and fitness" expert, I hope that at some point your views broaden, become more holisitic and Earth-friendly and the entire planet.
Thank you for your comment. There is no doubt that DEET is a dangerous product if used in large doses. What I should say in my article and thanks for pointing it out is that you should never use an insect repellent with more than 10-30% DEET concentration (I have since edited it). As well kids under 6 should not be exposed at all to it. I recommended DEET as it is classified as safe by Health Canada but that doesn't mean it is the healthiest choice. If you are using a repellent with DEET use it very minimally. It is a better and healthier choice to use other methods like covering up exposed skin with clothing or netting. Sadly it is hard to avoid all toxins but your post has raised good points about the safety of using DEET.
