In Profile: Ireland Canada Centre for Commerce, Calgary
In the latest of our special series of profiles, Laureen Regan, President and Founder of the Ireland Canada Centre for Commerce, Calgary, talks about doing business in Calgary and the province of Alberta.
Can you tell us a little about the ICCCC?
The Ireland Canada Centre for Commerce in Calgary works to promote and support bilateral trade between Alberta and Ireland. We create collaboration opportunities and business connections between Irish and Canadian professionals through networking and industry-specific events featuring key business leaders and diplomats.
What originally brought you to Calgary?
Waterford born, my family immigrated to Alberta for work many years ago. Here they found many opportunities, a strong entrepreneurial spirit to match their own and a welcoming community.
What advice would you give Irish companies about business in Alberta?
Irish Companies looking to start or set up a business in Alberta can see success if they are committed to maintaining a permanent presence here. It is difficult to gain traction when visits to Alberta are monthly or only every few weeks. Relationships are very important in the business community. It takes time, in market, to build connections and foster and grow the relationships needed to succeed.
Why Calgary? Top three things that make it a great place to live and do business
We are ranked in the top 5 most liveable cities in the world. The pool of highly qualified workers has made Calgary a global talent hub that is home to innovators and entrepreneurs.
The City has the benefits of having a large metropolitan centre, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, clean and safe environment, abundant green spaces and parks, longest urban pathway system, and an hour's drive from the Canadian Rockies.
Calgary is ranked #1, out of Canada's 100 largest cities for the sunniest days year-round – over 2,300 hours of sunshine annually!
Connected to the World
Calgary has the highest head office concentration per capita in Canada. It has ready access to global markets through a highly integrated transportation and logistics system moving people, products, and services. Calgary also provides access to the rapidly expanding markets in Asia by air and via the Port of Vancouver and is also regarded by many European companies as a gateway to North America.
Low cost of doing business
Compared to other Canadian jurisdictions, Alberta has no provincial sales tax, no health care premiums, lower personal income tax rates and the lowest fuel tax among provinces.
Calgary businesses also benefit from the fact that Alberta has no inventory tax, no machinery and equipment tax and no payroll tax, which are common in many other provinces and U.S. states.
Albertans. across all income ranges, will generally continue to pay the lowest overall taxes compared to other provinces.
If you could give one message to the Irish government about how to improve the Ireland Canada relationship, what would it be?
Canada is a large and diverse country, with much to offer. Alberta has strong, established markets in many sectors including agriculture, advanced industries, energy, renewables, forestry, water, manufacturing and more. Alberta also has leading university and research institutions.
Direct access through WestJet is opening up the Alberta market to Irish businesses and Canadian businesses are eyeing up the Irish and European markets.
Building awareness of the market opportunities in both directions is a crucial first step.
Is the future bright for Irish companies operating in or exporting to Canada?
The future is very bright for Irish companies looking for market access into Canada. Alberta has a strong focus on market diversification and a history of successful partnerships with many countries around the globe.
The Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, direct flights and a vibrant province that is 'open for business' all work together to create a solid foundation for opportunities in multiple sectors.
Alberta opens the doors to Canadian, American and Asian markets.
Anything else you would like to mention…
The time has never been better for Irish and Alberta businesses looking for new markets. Businesses and visitors alike will find a world of opportunity, an affordable business climate, young and educated workforce and a warm welcome in Alberta.
Gerry Mongey – A Tribute
Image from left to right: Kate Hickey, Deirdre Giblin, Gerry Mongey, and Suzanne Drisdell
The ICBA recently presented Gerry Mongey with an honorary lifetime membership as she retired from her role as Trade Commissioner at the Canadian Embassy in Dublin. Here is the tribute paid to her on the evening.
The growth of Ireland's relationship with Canada in tourism trade and in terms of the sheer number of young Irish people who leave Ireland every year to work in Canada is one of the great success stories in international relations. It encompasses the recent appointment of an Honorary Consul in Vancouver and the fact that five airlines now direct flights between Ireland and Canada. But it also but goes beyond this, spanning a wide range of areas from education, government, innovation, business to culture and tourism.
While many individuals and bodies can take credit for this great success, in both Canada and Ireland, it is widely recognised that one individual stands out. This individual's contribution can be traced back to one morning in February in 1981 when a young Gerry walked in to the Embassy offices. Gerry Mongey is often described as the central 'common thread' in the success of Ireland Canada. For the last 38 years and 8 months she has nurtured the relationship and has steered and guided many who came to work on the relationship down the years.
Gerry has worked with many ambassadors and trade commissioners in promoting Canada in Ireland. She has helped literally hundreds and hundreds of Canadian companies come into the Irish market to become established and employ many Irish people. She has lead trade mission after trade mission and brought Irish journalist's and industry experts to conferences in Canada to witness best practice. As a tribute to Gerry's outstanding contribution Gerry received a letter from PM Justin Trudeau upon her retirement last week.
Steve Jobs said "Choose to do something you love if not keep looking". It is fair to say that Gerry's love of her job made her a joy to work with. Her enthusiasm for Canada is infectious and her professionalism always impressed.
In today's roller-coaster world, the terms 'champion and visionary' are often mis-used and over-used. In the case of Gerry Mongey, they are completely apt. Since 1981 Gerry has more than delivered on her job in international business development. For Ireland and Canada over the last four decades a great gift has been bestowed, providing inspiration and models for many others in Canada and Ireland.'

In Profile: Ireland-Canada Chamber of Commerce Ottawa
For the second in our series of ICCC profiles, we catch up with Jackie Gilna, President of the Ireland Canada Chamber of Commerce Ottawa
Describe ICCCOTT and what its all about…
In cooperation with the Irish and Canadian business community, ICCCOTT established in 2010 promotes and supports programs that focus on trade and investment including sports, culture, and education as they relate to economic growth. We provide networking opportunities for members by organizing events with high profile speakers. Additionally, we support the business community representing member's business views before the Irish and Canadian governments in Dublin and Ottawa.
We are committed to resourcefully connecting people and helping foster relationships to further business opportunities and help deepen economic ties between our two countries.
Please describe one of ICCCOTT's members
We are fortunate to have one of Canada's most decorated Irish entrepreneurs and leader in our community, businessman Pat Kelly (Galway), Director Community Affairs ICCCOTT. Pat is a recipient of the inaugural Presidential Distinguished Service Award 2012, and founder of the Gales. His success with the Heart and Crown group, construction group Bradley-Kelly and many other business interests is an example to all that hard work, focus, drive, and ambition drive results.
From the beginning of his journey in Canada Pat helped so many who came to Ottawa with a roof over their head, a job to get them started and introductions to help create their opportunities. He is a true example to all. It is often said the Irish abroad do not support each other in business. Not Pat Kelly, he set the bar and leads by example!
What originally brought you to Ottawa?
I spent many of my adult years in the Netherlands. Before leaving I was involved in the Dutch Oil &Gas, Aviation, Marine and Fire Fighting training sector as Managing Director and sat as Director on the Board of Directors for Merger& Acquisitions.
I thrive on challenge and felt ready for a change. It was a family decision and so we moved from the Netherlands via Ireland (nine months) to Ottawa, my Canadian husband's hometown where his mother, a west-coaster, still lives.
I had no thoughts other than to take a sabbatical and see what inspired me on the next step of life's journey. The journey subsequently morphed into two acquisitions ripe for management restructuring and two start ups in the tech sector.
Ottawa is a very safe city with a growing international community, tech hubs, talent and home to the largest employer in the country, the Federal government. We have access to great health care, housing and activities. Yes, the winters get very cold, but the warmth of our great Irish Canadian and local community compensates for the long weeks of boots and tukes!
Why should Irish companies consider Ottawa?
Ottawa has affordable housing costs in comparison to other major Canadian cities. We are a tech hub with over 1.3m people and 1,750 knowledge-based business employing over 68k people. We boast innovative talent, highly competitive business costs, incubator hubs such as Invest Ottawa and L- Spark, and access to the Embassies of the world to establish international opportunities. Not bad for our small Nation's capital! And did I mention, it's only 16 km to the ski slopes?
What are your key pieces of advice for Irish companies starting to do business in this city?
As we are in the nation's capital Ottawa, a few simple rules to follow are: take the time to build relationships. Be punctual, give a firm handshake, maintain eye contact and opportunity will follow.
What's next for ICCCOTT?
ICCCOTT continue to grow with representatives from predominately three sectors: Legal, Financial Services and Tech. We enjoy and are grateful for the support of the business community, the Embassy and our Chamber colleagues throughout Canada. We are excited and look forward to a unique event happening in this fall, an ICCCOTT initiative which will bring together the first Pan-Canadian Chamber meeting with guests ICBA and other parties in September 2019.

Sovy's affordable subscription services enable a MSME to get compliant and stay compliant with privacy, conduct and anti-fraud regulations for a fraction of the cost of bringing in high-priced experts.
Why did you decide to set up a base in Ireland?
We chose Ireland as our base of operations in the fall of 2017 because of the great support system for high-tech start-ups and deep professional talent base. Crucially, Ireland also has a wide array of international trading partners, so having a base here can create major opportunities to do business with SME's in several other countries, including Canada.

Ireland is both people and business friendly, and there is a general positive can-do attitude that makes growing a business quite exciting.
What has been your single greatest challenge to date (of operating in Ireland), and how have you approached overcoming it?
The landscape is complex in terms of where to set up operations, and weigh the different areas, talent pools, partnerships and the like. We have been working with Enterprise Ireland (EI), the Local Enterprise Office in Meath County and trade groups to make informed choices. EI has also been invaluable when it comes to learning about Ireland's key trading partners and opportunities to scale Sovy by working with companies internationally.
What key piece of advice would you give to a Canadian company thinking of setting up in Ireland?
Take the time to meet the government and public-private partnerships that are set up to help your business become established and known and avail yourself of the many supports those organisations offer. Key organisations that you will want to connect with include Enterprise Ireland, the IDA, and groups like the Ireland Canada Business Association.

In Profile: Ireland-Canada Chambers of Commerce Vancouver
For the first in our series of ICCC profiles, we're joined by Lar Quigley, President of the Ireland-Canada Chamber of Commerce Vancouver (ICCCVan).
Describe ICCCVan's genesis and mission
The founding members recognised there was limited support and networking opportunities for the growing Irish community here in the city and sought to address this by establishing a formal chamber.
The Ireland-Canada Chamber of Commerce Vancouver (ICCCVan) was subsequently incorporated in late 2017. Initially we had three board members and have since expanded to ten with an all island approach and mandated gender balance.
We support our members by providing them opportunities to hear from senior leaders in the community as well as participate through networking events, roundtables and educational sessions.
ICCCVan maintains close links with our sister chapters across Canada, as well as the Irish Embassy in Ottawa.
Tell us a bit about your membership
We have so many amazing members here at the Chamber, but some interesting entrepreneurial ones have come from Bia Foods (Siobhan Young) and Donnellan's (William Donnellan) whom both spotted opportunities to better serve the Irish community and have grown impressively in the food and hospitality sectors over the years.
From a general overview, our member's industry breakdown is reflective of the economy here in the province with remainder mostly composing of professional services.
• 30% Technology
• 25% Natural Resources
• 15% Construction/Engineering
Can you point to an example of a member that started out very small and has grown successfully in Vancouver?
Moving2Canada.com is a great example. Since launching in 2012 by Ruairi Spillane, the website has been a one-stop shop for free impartial information and resources to make the transition to Canada enjoyable and simple for prospective immigrants and the recently arrived.
They offer job postings, a 'getting started' guide' and articles covering every step of the journey. Their social forums service thousands of community members.
Ruairi's accomplishments were recognized on a broader scaler recently when he took home the Immigrant Entrepreneur at the Small BC Business Awards here in Vancouver. Ruairi recently launched Moving2Ireland.com with the idea of bringing the same concept to help both new immigrants to Ireland and returning emigrants.
What brought you to Vancouver?
I had made the decision to leave Ireland when I saw some of the early signs of the recession in 2008 and on a whim applied for a Canadian working holiday visa.
I had visited Ontario/Quebec on a vacation in 2006 so that had planted some seeds and gave me a sense of what to expect from a cultural perspective.
Toronto was my original focus as it's the country's financial hub and I had a background in treasury banking from Dublin. It was my mother who randomly recommended Vancouver, she had been here at a conference in the 80s and so I opted to start here – ten years later I'm living two blocks from where I started.
What advice would you give to an Irish company starting to do business in Vancouver?
Vancouverites value relationships and the city has a village like feel to it with a compact downtown core. The work style, whilst focused, is more laid back than you'll find in Dublin and this is driven by having such easy access to the mountains and beaches in the city.
Why Vancouver? Top three things that make this city so great.
Vancouver is Canada's fasted growing and most diverse metropolitan economy. There are significant opportunities for growth and development in the region. British Columbia has a long history of pioneering technological innovation and has a world class creative and digital media sector.
From a top three perspective:
1. Most liveable and healthiest city in North American.
2. Number 5 on KPMG's most tax competitive world cities
3. Canada's number one start-up ecosystem
We're excited to build on our launch momentum to host an upcoming ministerial visit (Ciaran Canon) for the St Patrick's week festivities.
A special note of thanks to our friends at the Embassy in Ottawa and the new Consulate team here in Vancouver for all their invaluable support.

FIFA World Cup 2018 Match Predictions: Who will win today's Nigeria vs Argentina match?
By GQ Staff 26 June 2018
Argentina needs a win. But is Messi the answer?
Though, in our Argentina vs Croatia match preview, we estimated that the fixture would be the most important game in Lionel Messi's career, we stand corrected (having witnessed the results of it). This is the most important game in Messi's career as Argentina face Nigeria in the last round of group fixtures in the FIFA World Cup 2018. The Latin Americans have had a horrendous World Cup campaign so far. They drew their opener against Iceland and if they thought that was disappointing, La Albiceleste succumbed to a 0-3 loss against Croatia which further dented their World Cup hopes. Lionel Messi and Argentina, who were a facing an embarrassingly early exit, got some much-needed hope when Nigeria beat Iceland which has made the group dynamics really interesting heading into the last round of fixtures. Let's take a look at how the two teams stack up before we make our FIFA World Cup 2018 match predictions on this all-important match:
FIFA World Cup 2018: Nigeria vs Argentina
The equation for Argentina is simple, win today and they are virtually in the knockout stages. After two rounds of fixtures, Group D is well poised with Croatia, the only team that has secured qualification. Nigeria are second with three points while Iceland and Argentina are tied with a point each. A win for Argentina will take them above Nigeria and place them second on the group table. But they will be keeping a close eye on Croatia vs Iceland, which will be happening simultaneously. Argentina needs anything but an Iceland victory in that fixture to make sure that they keep their World Cup dreams alive.
The bottom line is that Argentina's squad looks down and out, which is actually ironic considering the talent that they have among their ranks. With players like Sergio Ag?ero, ?ngel Di Mar?a, Gonzalo Higua?n, Paulo Dybala, Cristian Pav?n, Maximiliano Meza and Ever Banega, Argentina should be terrorizing opponents on the attack. But let's address the problem. Unfortunately for Argentina, it is none other than Lionel Messi.
Now, don't get us wrong. We are not saying Argentina is in this situation because of Lionel Messi. Probably the greatest player to have ever played the game, Messi's only fault this World Cup is that he hasn't been able to turn a game on its head. But we expected that, considering the fact that there would be at least more than three defenders marking him whenever he receives the ball. Yes, he's capable of beating them all but that's where the problem lies. Even the rest of the players wearing the blue and white expect the same from Messi.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli was supposed to be the antidote to Argentina's 'Pass to Messi' problem. He was going to integrate the squad and play as a unit, something the team has forgotten to do since the rise of Lionel Messi. But what we saw right after Argentina conceded that silly first goal against Croatia was 10 players (10 world class players) buckling under pressure and running aimlessly as Messi tried to wriggle his way around four sometimes five Croatian defenders.
Agreed that it has worked for them sometimes, but is that really how a team which aspires to win the World Cup should play? The results speak for themselves. While we are at it, another problem that Argentina needs to address stat is its defense. The backline is almost embarrassing to watch and looked really under-confident against Croatia. Either Sampaoli must make some tough decisions and give the players the dressing down they deserve or Argentina will be well on their long ride home.
While the spotlight will be on Lionel Messi and Argentina, Nigeria will hope to be the ultimate party spoilers. If form plays any role, expect the African team to make it really difficult for Argentina as they showed in their glittering win against Iceland. Striker Ahmed Musa, who was on fire against Iceland, will be a headache for Argentina's considerably weak backline. Will Argentina finally step up or is Nigeria going to do the unthinkable? Here are our FIFA World Cup 2018 match predictions:
FIFA World Cup 2018 Match Predictions: Nigeria vs Argentina
The common tradition is to predict an Argentine victory. No matter what the previous results and form are, you would always back Lionel Messi and Argentina to win against Nigeria. But this is something even an Argentina fan would agree, there is a little bit of anxiety. Argentina needs some confidence building and if it doesn't happen now, it probably won't happen at all.
There is no better opportunity than now for Argentina's players to step up and maybe create a legacy of their own. We predict Argentina to win this match but we expect that there will be some nerves towards the end of the game, either in this fixture or the other one. Argentina are odds-on favourites to snatch a victory at 11:20 while Nigeria has odds of 11:2 stacked against them.

Why do the Ford MAFs have to be recalibrated for bigger injectors, but GM MAFs don't?
Its not really "calibrating" the MAF as much as its NOT calibrating the PCM. You're basically accomplishing the same thing, without having to dig into the PCM code. With the EEC-IV, that means not having to tear apart your kick panel, and install a module into the J3 diagnostic port of the PCM.
For all intents and purposes, you're merely tricking the PCM into thinking less air is entering the engine. Thus, the PCM commands shorter pulse widths to the injectors. The "right" way to do it would be to alter the injector flow rate table in the PCM, just like GM guys do it.

Thanks for the info guys. That's exactly what I thought they were doing. Just wanted to make sure. If I do any serious mods like that, I'll just pick up the SCT Pro setup.

Microsoft states that the government is taking advantage of the growing adoption of cloud storage in order to search the private data of citizens in secret. In making its secrecy demands, the government is relying on The Electronic Communications Privacy Act, a wiretapping statute from 1986. Microsoft argues that the law is outdated, and was never meant to be applied to cloud storage. Microsoft states that, if the government doesn't back down in its unreasonable application of the law then it falls on Congress to amend the law with more acceptable privacy protections.
The first is that people are entitled to know as soon as possible if service providers have turned over their data to the government.
The second principle is that people are not entitled to less notice of a government search just because they stored their data on the cloud.
The third principle articulated by Microsoft is that secrecy orders should only be used when absolutely necessary.
Microsoft acknowledges that in some cases it may be necessary to maintain secrecy for the sake of the investigation. However, due to the sheer volume of gag orders the company has received, Microsoft suspects that gag orders have simply become routine for the government, and are not being done out of necessity.
Is Microsoft right to sue the government over gag orders? Leave your comments below.

Why Do You Feel Worse At Night When You're Ill?
It's all in the rhythm – the circadian rhythm, that is.
Jack Dunhill
Social Media Coordinator and Staff Writer
Jan 5 2023, 12:57 UTC
The mornings can also suck when you're ill. Image Credit: polkadot_photo/Shutterstock.com
If you are currently suffering from an unending state of sickness that seems to have engulfed almost everyone, you are certainly not alone. Whether it be COVID-19, the flu, or any of the other cold-like viruses that are currently surging in the winter, it seems that the feeling of bunged-up noses and scratchy throats may not be going anywhere for now.
You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better and worse depending on the time of day, and others are reporting the same thing. Most commonly, you wake up with worse symptoms, which then partially clear up throughout the day, only to get worse once more as you get to bed.
But why does this happen? Let's find out.
Why do I feel worse at night?
Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm, which is the innate ability of our cells to essentially tell the time. The circadian rhythm is incredibly important for daily cellular processes and can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each day. It also plays a critical role in the regulation of the heart and immune system.
While resting, the body uses the downtime to do a huge number of reparations, which is why sleep is so important after you've been to the gym. This also applies when you are ill – the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, which result in a coordinated immune response against a disease. This can typically be seen in chronic diseases in which symptoms can get worse at night and better during the day, likely due to the immune system fighting infection (or being overactive, in the case of autoimmune disorders).
This, therefore, explains why our cold symptoms get worse as we settle down for a night's sleep or wake up from rest – those symptoms are a result of an active immune system trying to stem the infection. Immune cells recruit other immune cells to the local area (for example, the throat), causing a wave of inflammation and cell death. Cells that are infected by viruses are killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus floods the nose to join the fight. It's a good thing, but it really doesn't feel like it, and you wake up feeling like death because of the battle that is happening within.
There are other reasons you might feel worse at night. The first is simply gravity – when laying down, mucus builds up in the sinuses, causing pressure and headaches. As you stand up and clear your nose, you start to feel better and gravity helps out a lot more when you are upright. Alongside this, hormonal imbalances can be caused by lack of sleep at night and could also link to immune function, which can lead to a vicious cycle of sleepless nights and then feeling worse as a result.
So, be sure to get as much sleep as possible when ill, and when you next wake up feeling like your body hates you, try to remember it's actually a good thing.

Meet Rachel Dodd | AUA Career Stories
Rachel Dodd MAUA
The AUA
We are delighted to announce that Rachel joined us in the AUA office on 1 April 2019, as our new Head of Professional Development.
How long have you worked in HE and what was your first position?
Nearly 20 years (ouch!) and I started as an Assistant Alumni Development Officer at the University of Newcastle.
What three words best describe the AUA?
Relevant, open and connected
What advice do you have for prospective AUA members?
Get involved! There is something for everyone and, if you want to see something new, let us know and we can make it happen together.
What do you value most about working in HE?
The possibilities to influence change, even in the current environment of challenge and change. This can be on an individual level as well as a much grander scale, and the importance of making an impact on someone's career or a student's experience and their future opportunities should never be under-estimated. I value greatly the people I've met during my HE career, and the influence and impact they've had on me.
If you could do another HE job for a day, what would it be?
An early career academic lecturer to experience the sector from their perspective.
What do you think is the most overused phrase in HE?
"Engagement" as it's used without real meaning attached to it. What do we mean when we ask colleagues and teams to "engage"? "Reaching out" is another one…have we stopped simply talking to one another?
What does professionalism mean to you?
Someone once told me it's doing the right thing even when no-one's watching, and I'd agree with that definition.
What can't you start your day without?
A big mug of tea and my bullet journal. I am a new convert to this way of organising ideas and plans, and I love it!
What work accomplishment are you the proudest of?
I have worked with numerous students over the years and seeing them through their academic and student journey right up to graduation, having their achievements recognised, is brilliant. Supporting colleagues, particularly those early on in their careers, to realise their potential has also been hugely satisfying.
What is your personal philosophy?
I'd have to borrow from Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz"…."you always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn for yourself". I firmly believe we have all our capabilities within and they sometimes need a nudge to get them out there. As a runner, the mantra "deal with the mile you're in" is just as applicable to a tough day at work as it is to a long run!
Where is your favourite place to be?
Outside, preferably by the coast. If there's sunshine too then so much the better.
What has been the most important innovation you have witnessed in your lifetime?
The power and reach of the internet, particularly social media, is undeniable although I do wonder if something has been lost as a result.
What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?
Don't listen to the careers advice you'll get in sixth form and do it anyway….I was meant to be the next Kate Adie!

The Reverse Chronological Format is the most common format used when writing a resume. However, it is not for everyone. Take a look at the key elements to this format and find out if this layout is right for you.
This format is best for individuals who have a consistent history of employment (or mostly consistent), without gaps, and generally within the same field or industry. This format showcases your experience and a consistent climb through your field or industry ladder. Even if you are looking for a similar position and not necessarily looking to make a step up in your career, this format would still work for you if your experience has been consistent and within the same field.
If you do not have a consistent employment history or are switching fields, don't worry, there are other formats for you. Check out our article on resume format examples to find out which one is best for you.
If you have a gap (more than a few months) in your experience, if you are changing fields completely, or have a recent change of industry, consider using another format instead. The Reverse Chronological Format highlights your experience while other formats will highlight your capabilities first, helping hiring managers see the qualities that you bring to the table right from the start and minimizing the attention to the employment gap or career change.
Every resume should start with your name and contact information. This should be followed by either a professional profile or an entry-level objective. Next you want to list your experience in… yep, you guessed it… reverse chronological order starting with your most current experience. After listing the experience section, include any education and/or training that you have received. Some find it helpful to also include technical skills that are unique to the industry that you are targeting.
The order of your resume is somewhat flexible. Here are a few common ways to organize your information.
These options are not hard and fast rules. You can really adapt them to fit your needs. However, remember that the goal of a resume is to get you in the door for an interview. If your information is not orderly, concise, or clear… hiring managers will quickly pass on to the next resume.

\section{Introduction}
Quantum theory is not yet understood as well as e.g.
classical mechanics or special relativity. Classical mechanics coincides well
with our intuition and so is rarely questioned. Special relativity runs
counter to our immediate insight, but can easily be derived by assuming
constancy of the speed of light for every observer. And that assumption may be made
plausible
by epistemological
arguments \cite{1}. Quantum theory on the other hand demands two
premises. First, it wants us to give up determinism for the sake of a
probabilistic view. In fact, this seems unavoidable in a fundamental theory
of prediction, because any communicable observation can be decomposed into a
finite number of bits. So predictions therefrom always have limited accuracy, and probability
enters naturally.
More disturbing is the second premise: Quantum theory wants us to give up the
sum rule of probabilities by requiring interference instead. However, the sum
rule is deeply ingrained in our thought, because of its roots in counting and the definition of
sets:
Define sets with no common elements, then define the set which joins them all.
The number of elements in this latter set is just the sum of the elements of
the individual sets. When deriving the notion of probability from the relative
frequency of events we are thus immediately led to the sum rule, such that any
other rule appears inconceivable. And this may be the reason why we have
difficulties accepting the quantum theoretical rule, where probabilities are
summed by calculating the square of the sum of the complex square roots of the
probabilities. In this situation two views are possible. We may either consider
the quantum theoretical rule as a peculiarity of nature. Or, we may conjecture
that the quantum theoretical rule has something to do with how we organize
data from observations into quantities that are physically meaningful to us.
We want to adopt the latter position. Therefore we seek to establish a grasp of
the quantum theoretical rule with the general idea in mind that, given the
probabilistic paradigm, there may exist an optimal strategy of prediction,
quite independent of traditional physical concepts, but resting on what one
can deduce from a given amount of information. We will formulate elements of
such a strategy with the aim of achieving maximum predictive power.

\section{Representing Knowledge from Probabilistic Data}
Any investigative endeavour rests upon one natural assumption: More data from
observations will lead to better knowledge of the situation at hand. Let us see
whether this holds in quantum experiments. The data are relative frequencies of
events. From these we deduce probabilities from which in turn we derive the
magnitudes of physical quantities. As an example take an experiment with two
detectors, where a click is registered in either the one or the other.
(We exclude simultaneous clicks for the moment.) Here, only one probability is
measurable, e.g. the probablity $p_1$ of a click in detector 1. After N runs we
have $n_1$ counts in detector 1 and $n_2$ counts in detector 2,
with $n_1+n_2=N$. The probability $p_1$ can thus be estimated as
\begin{equation} p_1 = \frac{n_1}{N} \end{equation}
with the uncertainty interval \cite{2}
\begin{equation} \Delta p_1 = \sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{N}} .
\end{equation}
From $p_1$ the physical quantity $\chi(p_1)$ is derived. Its uncertainty interval is
\begin{equation}
 \Delta\chi = \left| \frac{\partial\chi}{\partial p_1}
\right|\Delta p_1 =
 \left| \frac{ \partial \chi}{\partial p_1} \right|
 \sqrt{\frac {p_1(1-p_1)}{N}} .
\end{equation}
The accuracy of $\chi$ is given by the inverse of $\Delta \chi$.
With the above
assumption we expect it to increase with each additional run, because we get
additional data.
Therefore, for any $N$, we expect
\begin{equation} \Delta \chi (N+1) < \Delta \chi (N) . \end{equation}
However, this inequality cannot be true for an arbitrary function $\chi(p_1)$.
In general
$\Delta\chi$ will fluctuate and only decrease on the average with increasing
$N$. To see this take a
theory A which relates physical quantity and probability by $\chi_A=p_1$. In
an experiment of
$N=100$ runs and $n_1=90$ we get: $\Delta\chi_A(100)=.030$. By taking into
account the data from one
additional run, where detector 2 happened to click, we have $\Delta\chi_A(101)
=.031$. The differences
may appear marginal, but nevertheless the accuracy of our estimate for $\chi_A$
 has decreased
although we incorporated additional data. So our original assumption does not
hold. This is
worrisome as it implies that a prediction based on a measurement of $\chi_A$
may be more accurate
if the data of the last run are not included. Let us contrast this to theory B,
which connects
physical quantity and probability by $\chi_B={p_1}^6$. With $N$ and $n_1$ as
before we have $\Delta\chi_B(100)=.106$.
Incorporation of the data from the additional run leads to $\Delta\chi_B(101)=.104$.
Now we obviously
don't question the value of the last run, as the accuracy of our estimate has
increased.

The lesson to be learnt from the two examples is that the specific functional
dependence of a physical quantity on the probability (or several probabilities
if it is derived
from a variety of experiments) determines whether our knowledge about the
physical quantity
will increase with additional experimental data, and that this also applies to
the accuracy of
our predictions. This raises the question what quantities we should be
interested in to make
sure that we get to know them more accurately by doing more experiments.
From a statistical
point of view the answer is straightforward: choose variables whose uncertainty
interval
strictly decreases, and simply {\it define} them as physical. And from a
physical
point of view?
Coming from classical physics we may have a problem, as concepts like mass,
distance,
angular momentum, energy, etc. are suggested as candidates for physical
quantities. But when
coming from the phenomenology of quantum physics, where all we ever get from
nature is
random clicks and count rates, a definition of physical quantities according
to statistical
criteria may seem more reasonable, {\it simply because there is no other guideline
as to which
random variables should be considered physical.}

Pursuing this line of thought we want to express experimental results by
random
variables whose uncertainty interval strictly decreases with more data.
When using them in
predictions, which are also expressed by variables with this property,
predictions should
automatically become more accurate with more data input. Now a few trials will
show that
there are many functions $\chi(p_1)$ whose uncertainty interval decreases with
increasing $N$ (eq.(3)).
We want to choose the one with maximum predictive power. The meaning of this
term
becomes clear when realizing that in general $\Delta\chi$ depends on $N$ and
on $n_1$ (via $p_1$). These two
numbers have a very different status. The number of runs, $N$, is controlled
by the
experimenter, while the number of clicks, $n_1$, is solely due to nature.
Maximum predictive
power then means to eliminate nature's influence on $\Delta\chi$. For then we
can know $\Delta\chi$ {\it even
before} having done any experimental runs, simply upon deciding how many we
will do. From
eq.(3) we thus get
\begin{equation} \sqrt{N} \Delta\chi =
\left|\frac{\partial\chi}{\partial p_1}
\right|\sqrt{p_1(1-p_1)} = constant, \end{equation}
which results in
\begin{equation} \chi = C\arcsin( 2p_1 - 1 ) + D \end{equation}
where C and D are real constants. The inverse is
\begin{equation} p_1 = \frac{1 + \sin( \frac{\chi - D}{C} )}{2} ,
\end{equation}
showing that the probability is periodic in $\chi$. Aside from the linear
transformations provided
by $C$ and $D$ any other smooth function $\alpha(\chi)$ in real or complex
spaces will also fulfill
requirement (5) when equally sized intervals in $\chi$ correspond to equal
line lengths along the
curve $\alpha(\chi)$. One particular curve is
\begin{equation} \alpha(\chi) = \sin(\frac{\chi}{2})
e^{i\frac{\chi}{2}} ,
\end{equation}
which is a circle in the complex plane with center at $i/2$. It exhibits the
property $\left|\alpha\right|^2=p_1$ known from quantum theory. But note, that
for instance the
function $\beta =
\sin(\chi/2)$ does not
fulfill the requirement that the accuracy only depend on $N$. Therefore the
complex phase
factor in eq.(8) is necessary \cite{3}\cite{4}.

\section{Distinguishability}
We have now found a unique transformation from a probability to another class of variables
exemplified by $\chi$ in eq.(6). These unique variables always become better known with
additional data. But can they be considered physical? We should first clarify what a physical
variable is. A physical variable can assume different numerical values, where each value
should not only imply a different physical situation, but should most of all lead to a different
measurement result in a properly designed experiment. Within the probabilistic paradigm two
measurement results are different when their uncertainty intervals don't overlap. This can be
used to define a variable which counts the principally distinguishable results of the
measurement of a probability. Comparison of that variable to our quantity $\chi$ should tell
us
how much $\chi$ must change from a given value before this can be noticed in an
experiment.
Following Wootters and Wheeler \cite{5}\cite{6} the variable $\theta$ counting
the statistically
distinguishable
results at detector 1 in $N$ runs of our above example is given by
\begin{equation}
 \theta(n_1) = \int_0^{p_1(n_1)} \frac{dp}{\Delta p(p)} =
 \sqrt{N} \left[ \arcsin ( 2p_1 - 1 ) + \frac{\pi}{2} \right]_{ {p_1} =
 \frac{n_1}{N} }
\end{equation}
where $\Delta p$ is defined as in eq.(2). When dividing $\theta$ by $\sqrt{N}$
it becomes identical to $\chi$ when in
eq.(6) we set $C=1$ and $D=\frac{\pi}{2}$. This illuminates the meaning of
$\chi$: It is a continuous variable
associated with a probability, with the particular property that anywhere in its domain an
interval of fixed width corresponds to an equal number of measurement results
distinguishable
in a given number of runs. With Occam's dictum of not introducing more entities than are
necessary for the description of the subject matter under investigation, $\chi$
would be {\it the} choice
for representing physical situations and can rightly be called physical.

\section{A Simple Prediction: The Superposition Principle}
Now we return to our aim of finding a strategy for maximum predictive power.
We want to
see whether the unique class of variables represented by $\chi$ indicates a way
beyond representing data and perhaps affords special predictions. For the sake of
concreteness we
think of the double slit experiment. A particle can reach the detector by two
different routes.
We measure the probabilty that it hits the detector via the left route, $p_L$, by
blocking the right
slit. In $L$ runs we get $n_L$ counts. In the measurement of the probability with
only the right
path available, $p_R$, we get $n_R$ counts in $R$ runs. From these data we want
to make a prediction
about the probability $p_{tot}$, when both paths are open. Therefore we make the
hypotheses that
$p_{tot}$ is a function of $p_R$ and $p_L$. What can we say about the function
$p_{tot}(p_L,p_R)$ when we
demand maximum predictive power from it? This question is answered by
reformulating the
problem in terms of the associated variables $\chi_L$, $\chi_R$ and $\chi_{tot}$,
which we derive according to
eq.(6) by setting $C=1$ and $D=\frac{\pi}{2}$. The function
$\chi_{tot}(\chi_L,\chi_R)$ must be such that a prediction for
$\chi_{tot}$ has an uncertainty interval $\delta \chi_{tot}$, which only depends
on the number of runs, $L$ and $R$, and
decreases with both of them. (We use the symbol $\delta \chi_{tot}$ to indicate
that it is not derived from a
measurement of $p_{tot}$, but from other measurements from which we want to
predict $p_{tot}$.) In this
way we can predict the accuracy of $\chi_{tot}$ by only deciding the number of
runs, $L$ and $R$. No
actual measurements need to have been done. Because of
\begin{equation}
 \delta \chi_{tot} = \sqrt{ \left|\frac{\partial \chi_{tot}}
 {\partial \chi_L} \right|^2 \frac{1}{L} + \left|\frac{\partial
\chi_{tot}}
 {\partial \chi_R} \right|^2 \frac{1}{R} }
\end{equation}
maximum predictive power is achieved when
\begin{equation}
 \left|\frac{\partial \chi_{tot}} {\partial \chi_j} \right| =
 constant,\mbox{\hspace{0.5cm}}    j=L,R.
\end{equation}
We want to have a real function $\chi_{tot}(\chi_L,\chi_R)$, and therefore we
get
\begin{equation} \chi_{tot} = a \chi_L + b \chi_R + c, \end{equation}
where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are real constants. Furthermore we must have $c=0$ and
the magnitude of both
$a$ and $b$ equal to $1$, when we wish to have $\chi_{tot}$ equivalent to
$\chi_R$ or to $\chi_L$ when either the one
or
the other path is blocked. So there is an ambiguity of sign with $a$ and $b$.
When rewriting this
in terms of the probability we get
\begin{equation} p_{tot} = \sin^2( \frac{\chi_L \pm \chi_R}{2} ).
\end{equation}
This does not look like the sum rule of probability theory. Only for $p_L+p_R=1$
does it coincide
with it. We may therefore conclude that the sum rule of probability theory does
not afford
maximum predictive power. But neither does eq.(13) look like the quantum
mechanical
superposition principle. However, this should not be surprising because our input
were just
two real valued numbers, $\chi_L$ and $\chi_R$, from which we demanded to
derive another real valued
number. A general phase as is provided in quantum theory could thus not be
incorporated.
But let us see what we get with complex representatives of the associated variables
of
probabilities. We take $\alpha(\chi)$ from eq.(8). Again we define in an equivalent
manner $\alpha_L$, $\alpha_R$ and
$\alpha_{tot}$. From $p_L$ we have for instance (from (8) and (7) with $C=1$
and $D=\frac{\pi}{2}$)
\begin{equation} \alpha_L = \sqrt{p_L} \left( \sqrt{p_L} + i\sqrt{1-p_L}
\right)
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation} \Delta \alpha_L = \left| \frac {\partial \alpha_L}
{\partial p_L}
\right| \Delta p_L = \frac {1} {2 \sqrt{L} }.  \end{equation}
If we postulate a relationship $\alpha_{tot}(\alpha_R,\alpha_L)$ according to
maximum predictive power we expect
the predicted uncertainty interval $\delta\alpha_{tot}$ to be independent of
$\alpha_L$ and $\alpha_R$ and to decrease with
increasing number of runs, $L$ and $R$. Analogous to (11) we must
have
\begin{equation}
 \left| \frac {\partial \alpha_{tot}} {\partial \alpha_j} \right| =
 constant, \mbox{\hspace{0.5cm}}    j=L,R,
\end{equation}
yielding
\begin{equation} \alpha_{tot} = s\alpha_L + t\alpha_R + u, \end{equation}
where $s$, $t$, and $u$ are complex constants. Now $u$ must vanish and $s$ and
$t$ must both be
unimodular when $p_{tot}$ is to be equivalent to either $p_L$ or $p_R$ when the
one or the other route is
blocked. We then obtain
\begin{equation} p_{tot} = \left| \alpha_{tot} \right|^2 = \left|
s\alpha_L +
t\alpha_R \right|^2 = p_L + p_R + 2\sqrt{p_L p_R} \cos(\phi),
\end{equation}
where $\phi$ is an arbitrary phase factor containing the phases of $s$ and $t$.
This is exactly the
quantum mechanical superposition principle. What is striking is that with a theory
of
maximum predictive power we can obtain the general form of this principle, but
cannot at all
predict $p_{tot}$ even when we have measured $p_L$ and $p_R$, because of the
unknown phase $\phi$. So we are lead to postulate $\phi$ as a new measurable
quantity in this experiment.

\section{Conclusion}
We have tried to obtain insight into the quantum mechanical superposition
principle and set
out with the idea that it might follow from a most natural assumption of
experimental science:
more data should provide a more accurate representation of
the matter
under investigation and afford more accurate predictions. From
this we
defined the concept of maximum predictive power which demands laws to
be such that the uncertainty of a prediction is solely dependent on the number of
experiments
on which the prediction is based, and not on the specific outcomes of these
experiments.
Applying this to the observation of two probabilities and to possible predictions
about a third
probability therefrom, we arrived at the quantum mechanical superposition principle. Our
result
suggests nature's law to be such that from more observations more accurate predictions
must be derivable.

New artwork in the Argentum wave collection :- A textured abstracted wave painting onto a deep edge canvas. Strung, ready to hang. Innovative use of mixed media, gold metallic paint, white acrylic and green spray paints have been used to create stunning visual effects resulting in a highly original artwork. The interior image is for illustration purposes only and is not exactly to scale. Signed on the reverse. Should this piece be purchased as a gift the artist is happy to include a handwritten calligraphic postcard with a description of the work, or a personalised greeting.


I made new friends, stopped for 30-minute deep conversations by the beach with strangers, walked in the waves, shared wonderful meals with total strangers, met a cousin and her friend, attended Hillsong church, prayed, meditated, ate new foods, saw movies, did everything with a heart of gratitude to God, and took TONS of pictures, videos and boomerangs. The travel blogs say the Coogee – Bondi walk is an absolute MUST to do! After experiencing it, and walking a total of 5.9 miles when I did it, I agree! I met the most people on this walk, it's now one of the best memories engraved in my mind.
I loved Melbourne! It was full of catching up with my loved ones, tasting some good ol' Naija food, invaluable conversations, reminiscing on my childhood, sharing aspirations, and receiving an insurmountable amount of love from my lovely four soldiers as I like to call them. I visited the amazing Melbourne zoo, where I may or may not have had a face off with an orangutan! I received some lovely, practical advice on life from my aunt and uncle, and I will say, I was very sad to leave – I guess sad enough that I made it to the airport with only 40 minutes to departure – haha! But I am sitting here in the plane, thinking on the lovely time I had, and putting this post together.
If you've ever said a prayer for me, sent a positive thought my way, cooked for me (this may be the most appreciated? Ain't no shame in my game! Haha), or showed me love in even the seemingly insignificant ways, I appreciate you, and I thank you deeply for adding color to my life. May God bless you, and I know He loves you, especially coz you love His special baby girl.
I have TONS of pictures attached because I have a blog and can do that! lol! No, seriously, so many people want to see pictures, and I can't individually send to everyone, so enjoy as many as you can!
If you'd like me to do a blog on saving, tips for a trip, how to pick your destination, etc… Ask your girl. I just may oblige.
I'll reiterate. Travel – it's the mind's way of rediscovering its true elements.
← Dear Leyah, with all my love.
Luvly pictures, those guys have grown. You surely had a nice time. Definitely a worthwhile break coupled with d discovery of another continent of d world for you. Thumps up!!!
I am glad you enjoyed your trip. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Welcome back to ATL, we missed you!
Yo sister, someone had a great time… It's good life's too short, thanks for sharing.

When I get this completed, it will be a display page of the graphics that I have currently listed in my directory (not counting webring pictures, La Kitty, and such). They come straight from Moyra's site and are linkware. If you use them, contact Moyra and give her the page URL so she can come see what you have done with her stuff, and also place one of the "Moyra's Web Jewels" graphics on your page with a link back to her. There are other requirements as well; go check her page for those. I do not have all of Moyra's stuff on site. Some of it just doesn't appeal to me. But I like this stuff and will be probably adding weekly as she comes up with new stuff.

Studio Visit: Jason Mizrahi
After receiving a degree in architecture, contemporary designer Jason Mizrahi quickly found a creative outlet in designing and making furniture. Through minimalist and fluid forms, Mizrahi blurs the lines between furniture and sculpture and approaches each individual piece as a creative breakthrough. Here, the Los Angeles-based furniture designer provides insight into the inspiration behind his brand, specifically delving into the details of his Limited Collection — made up of the Symphony Chair, Belcanto Chair and Denali Coffee Table.
Q: Could you talk a little bit about your background and how you became a contemporary furniture designer?
A: I was always a very visual person and architecture was a discipline that enhanced my ability to create on every scale. When I graduated with a degree in architecture from Pratt Institute in 2008, it was the height of the recession. With job opportunities being scarce, I found furniture design as a creative outlet that allowed me to channel my ideas into projects related to architecture.
Q: How would you describe your design style and the range of works you create?
A: My work consists of statement pieces that embody a unique balance of contemporary luxury with minimalist sculptural ambition. Each piece represents a creative breakthrough that challenges convention to become something new.
Symphony Chair
Q: What is the concept behind your Symphony Chair?
A: The concept behind the Limited Collection, which includes the Symphony, Belcanto, and Denali, was to change the perception of furniture. When one thinks of a chair, one immediately thinks of something that is linear, has four legs, is very solid, and with a strong, supportive base. Design is about creating something new and not being afraid to be different. I wanted the design to feel expressive, unrestricted by any rules or convention.
The Symphony Chair utilizes the characteristic of metal to offer different perspectives based on the relationship of an object and light. These different perspectives meld like the different movements in a symphony. The outcome is a furniture design with lines that bend and undulate with the reflections of the light on the metallic surface. The Symphony Chair is about materials expressing emotion, and creating a sense of awe.
Q: What was your inspiration behind the Belcanto Chair?
A: The goal behind this dramatic piece is to change the general perception of a chair as being static and structural. Wood was pushed to its limits by exposing its potential as fluid, dynamic and continuous. I usually focus on a particular element that speaks to me and immediately begin visualizing its potential. Traveling has provided a wealth of visual inspiration that allows me to see things not for what they are but rather for what they can become.
Q: Where do you derive inspiration from?
A: I've always admired designers and artists whose work expressed a certain emotion, edge or simplicity. I love architecture from Frank Gehry, Santiago Calatrava, John Pawson and Marcio Kogan. Artists such as Maya Lin, Rodin, Pollock and Rothko. And fashion icons such as Rick Owens, Galliano and McQueen.
Belcanto Chair
Q: Do you find that your designs often build off one another? For instance, it seems the Belcanto is a further exploration of the Denali Coffee Table?
A: It is actually the other way around. Belcanto was my first design concept, and the Denali table was built off the same curved lines of Belcanto. There are some pieces in the Limited Collection that seem to build off one another because I utilize the fluid movement offered by curved profiles.
Q: Could you talk about the process of designing the Denali Coffee Table?
A: Denali is an experimentation with materials that can be molded into different shapes to show a series of voids. Denali is made of the same polymer material that is used in making aviation parts. It is not fiberglass. Each void was constructed individually with molds that were subsequently joined and layered with this polymer material. The finish was applied by using the same process when a car is painted. The Denali table is deceptively strong but relatively light.
Denali Coffee Table
Q: Your pieces are very sculptural, artistic and at times, abstract — how do you reconcile artistic, interesting form with functionality?
A: Each design is an attempt to attain the perfect balance between form and function, negative and positive space, art and design. Some designs aspire to become more about the expression of the idea, while others become about maintaining the function of the object without losing the conceptual expression. This is what led me to create the Limited and the Home Collection. As a designer, I never wanted to be perceived as a uni-dimensional designer or feel confined to one particular style. I want the freedom to be creative and expand my ideas in various ways. The Limited collection is perceived as sculptural expressions while The Home Collection focuses more on modern luxury for the home.
Jason Mizrahi's "Anabelle" lounge chair in his Home Collection
Q: How do you imagine these pieces behind used? In what type of spaces?
A: Most of the pieces in the Limited Collection are statement pieces that draw attention when someone enters a room. If I may quote a comment from a design magazine, "It is sculpture to sit on, and brings comfort to the eyes and mind."
Q: Could you talk about your Home Collection that you launched in 2018? What was your inspiration behind these products?
A: The Home Collection is a different aesthetics from the Limited Collection. The designs are upholstered pieces that incorporate some architectural elements. In lieu of a sculptural quality, the Home Collection aims for minimalist comfort and introduces more fabric and texture to develop a tone of masculine luxury.

Hackers Can Now Use Sound Waves to Take Control of Your Smartphone
Image: Univ. of Michigan
There's an old mantra in the security world that anything can be hacked. And the more complex our devices become, the more methods hackers dream up to break into them. Case in point: A team of researchers can use sound waves to control anything from a smartphone (seriously) to a car (theoretically).
The trick boils down to spoofing capacitive MEMS accelerometers, the chips that enable smartphones and Fitbits to know when they're in motion, where they're going, and how quickly. Using a small $5 speaker, researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of South Carolina blasted 20 different accelerometers from five manufacturers with sound waves from malicious music files. The resonant frequencies tricked the sensors in more than half of the accelerometers tested, enabling the researchers to do all sorts of stuff.
"It's like the opera singer who hits the note to break a wine glass, only in our case, we can spell out words [and send commands to a smartphone]" Kevin Fu, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Michigan told The New York Times. "You can think of it as a musical virus."

The sonic cyber attack actually works almost exactly how you'd think it would. Capacitive MEMS accelerometers contain a small amount of mass suspended on springs, and the sound waves nudge that piece of mass in such a way that the chip thinks it's in motion. The team explains exactly how the method works on a new website about the project.
The possibilities of this simple attack are nothing short of unnerving. Fu and his team used these sonic cyber attacks to trick smartphones into executing whatever command they wanted. The researchers show in a video how they can take over a smartphone app that controls a toy car using nothing but sound waves. They also spoofed a Fitbit into counting steps while the device remained perfectly still. The team gained so much control over the accelerometers that they could force a Samsung Galaxy S5 to spell out words in the chip's output signal.
The output signal spells "WALNUT." Can you see it? (Image: Joseph Xu / Michigan Engineering)
But that's only the beginning. With the right knowledge of how certain apps work, a malicious hacker could potentially take over a smartphone app with the right combination of sound waves.
"If a phone app used the accelerometer to start your car when you physically shake your phone, then you could intentionally spoof the accelerometer's output data to make the phone app think the phone is being shaken," Timothy Trippel, the lead author of a new paper on the WALNUT project and a PhD candidate at Michigan, told Gizmodo. "The phone app would then send the car a signal to start."
Along these lines, it's important to highlight that these experiments were proof-of-concept exercises that exposed serious vulnerabilities in popular consumer hardware. Pwning a smartphone to drive a toy car isn't particularly dangerous, but the same kinds of accelerometer technology is used in real cars, drones, airplanes, medical devices, and other connected devices. The New York Times hinted at "darker possibilities" for a cyber attack like this, giving the example of how accelerometers in insulin pumps could be tricked into giving the wrong dosage. Just imagine the apocalyptic possibility of broadcasting a malicious music file over the radio that makes certain cars crash into each other on the highway. This is scary stuff.
"Thousands of everyday devices already contain tiny MEMS accelerometers," Fu said in a release. "Tomorrow's devices will aggressively rely on sensors to make automated decisions with kinetic consequences."
The researchers have shared their findings with the manufacturers of the vulnerable accelerometers. And accordingly, on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security issued an alert about the hardware design flaws, detailing which chips were at risk and what can be done to mitigate the risk of a real-world attack. So if you ever questioned whether or not we're living in a very long, anxiety-ridden episode of Black Mirror, wonder no more. We are, and it's nuts.

Fu and his team used these sonic cyber attacks to trick smartphones into executing whatever command they wanted.
What? No they didn't.
From the link: https://spqr.eecs.umich.edu/walnut/
With proper knowledge of the algorithms that are utilizing the polluted sensor data, adversaries may be able to control the behavior of a system that relies on the sensor data to make automated decisions.
That is spoofing sensor data, the end. Not making a "smartphone" execute "whatever command they wanted".

Everyone wants their battery with optimal charging capacity and long lasting especially we are using custom roms.
First of all, Why we need battery calibration?
Well, If you have installed or upgraded CyanogenMod 7.1 V1.4 from V1.3 then it is using new kernel battery driver which requires to remove old batterystat.bin system file in order to regenerate new batterystat.bin system file by OS itself which will have updated battery information to drive it.
Second question may come in your mind, why batterystats.bin file? What's in that?
batterystats.bin file store battery storage information and reflect to battery performance. Symptoms of a bad batterystats.bin include poor battery life, excessive battery drain, phone is dead within hours or minutes of charging, battery will not fully charge, etc. These problems occur as the batterystats file may not know the correct max charge of the battery, or the min charge of the battery, and thus your battery will be artificially limited between what the OS thinks is the entire battery when in fact the batterystats.bin is not telling the whole story.
This operation you can do from CWM recovery manager. Just follow to below steps.
Get into CWM recovery mode. and follow instruction as shown in screenshot?
Another related app we have is "Battery Calibration". You can download it from market for free. It basically does same job as mentioned above but only thing it dosn;t require any boot. Just look at screenshot it has pretty well defined instructions. Just follow it and then you good to go with your battery.
Other thing we recommend is do battery wipe just once when you upgrade or fresh install ROM and perform charging-discharging cycles 3-4 time.
Hope you get better battery performance. Let us know your feedback, experience , question at below in comment section.

18.11.2009 Added support for grouped views.
17.11.2009 Updated code to remove the filter in the viewheader for the field with the calculated column "Link". Noted by Paulo Sousa in the post comments. I have also added a code to use for the DispForm to format the link.
If you create a link from a calculated column it is not formatted right in the list view. Here it a small jQuery script to fix this issue.
=""&Description&""
// Disable the filter for the field named "Link"
The "group by calculated column – feature" is requested by Paulo Sousa. You can specify whether to have a clickable link or a plain text in the group header by setting the parameter "groupHeaderClickableLink" in line 14 to true or false.
In line 50 in this codeblock i have disabled the filter link in the view header for the field with DisplayName "Link" – you must insert your own field's DisplayName here.
I do not know of a way to "reformat" the filter values for a calculated column, and therefore the filter values will be like the calculated column's raw value – therefore i found that disabling the filter was he best option.
In line 6 you must insert your own FieldInternalNames!
You can add multiple FieldInternalNames, comma separated.
this solution does not work on FireFox but it does on IE.
Which version of FireFox are you using? – i have tested it with the latest 3.5.4 (on windows) and it works for me.
If you fill me in with some details i can try to fix it, but as i cannot recreate the problem, i must have some input from you.
But, … that little dropdown filter at the list header looks ugly!
Thanks for noticing it. I have only one solution – disable the filter for that column. See updated code above.
I have also added code to use in DispForm to format the link in the same way as in the list view.
Thanks! That's a way to solve the problem.
However there is another issue: this function fails if we have a List View with a 'Group By'.
Fixed – see updated code.
It works as long as you don't Group By the Link.
Keep thinking in a way of Filtering and Grouping by this Calculated Column, showing a decent text.
Maybe I'm thinking in the wrong terms, but why would you want to group by the calculated link?
If so, a click on he group header – should it expand the grouping or follow the link?
Please fill me in on the details and i may be able to help you.
It would be perfect if a click on the group header also follow the link, but it would be good enough just to show the decent text (without link). But this is not very important. What I really need is the filter in the List Header.
I have updated the code to reformat the link if grouped by the calculated column. The filter i cannot help you with.
The code for the DispForm is updated as well.
The Link in the Group Header looks nice but the URL becomes invalid, but, as I said before, this is not much important.
DispForm: still the same problem – Link looks nice but everything else is a mess.
One other smal thing: this script works for Lists with Groups but it won't work for simple List (without Groups) – it would be nice to have the same script working for both types of List.
Updated code – can you test it to see if it does the trick?
Regarding the DispForm: Did you add your own FieldInternalName in the array "arrOfFieldsToReformat"?
1. I changed the apearence of the calculated link to bold and orange.
In the list works great, but in the Group Header it looses the color attribute.
2. If have 2 group levels it fails in the 2nd one.
On point 2 i have updated line 15 to reformat both levels of grouping.
In the DispForm I was using the Column Name. I changed to the FieldInternalName and now it works fine.
All my scripts uses FieldInternalName, unless it is explicitly stated to use DisplayName.
2nd group level: header link works but it shows normal (not bold nor orange). Must important: doesn't expand.
Can you try to change the grouping – switch nr 1 with nr 2 and see? – it could be something wrong with your calculated link on level 2.
PS: I have not addressed the coloring and bold issue.
Same problem: 2nd Group doens't expand.
Must be something recent because yesterday it didn't show right but it did expand.
Now only the second grouping should be formatted. How does that look?
Could you send me some screen shots of your calculated column and your view without the script added (so that i can see the column before formatting).
Something went wrong with my view.
I deleted it, recreated it and now everything is working.
How can I update a field of the selected row instead of sending to the link ?
The solution is brilliant, thanks !
This solution is supposed to be used in unmodified SharePoint forms and views. If you have modified the form and view in SharePoint Designer you could make these changes directly in SharePoint Designer. If you still want to use this solution in your customized page, I'm afraid you will have to make the modifications yourself because no two customized pages are alike.
The js code works just fine, however, I have difficulty with the sharepoint side of it.
Using the "&Field Name&" reference to field names runs to error in SP. So I tried [Field Name] instead, but that did not work. Also, I need to construct a fairly complicated anchor tag: [Field2].
Using this solution is there a way i can create a solution where my color coded calculated field (KPI Lights) can be turned into hyperlink. Where Url of the Hyperlink will be fed from another column named [Hyperlink1].
So when user clicks on those individual KPI Lights they would be redirected to whatever url user entered in column [Hyperlink1].
If you wrap the "KPI" in a <a href="… in the calculated column this should work without modifications?
Can you please help me on this ??
Sorry for the late reply. Are you still having trouble?
Wow, that seems like alot of work for a simple task. Why couldn't you just use a calculated column with the number format to force it to calculate the html. Here is a blog I wrote on it.
I could have done it like this if I knew about this trick – than you for the tip!
Hi there, You've done a great job. I wikll certanly digg it and personally suggest to my friends.


If you have bought any dvds or blurays that have a ultraviolet or related code you may be interested in VUDU or you may already have a VUDU account. I know when I signed up they had a deal where they would give you some free movies. Check out the internet to see if those deals still are around. Not the point of my post today.
Not a big deal in itself since it seems everyone from Amazon (Fire Stick) to Google (Chromecast) are selling hdmi devices to turn your tv into a smart tv dongles or whatever. But right now they are offering a $5 a month VUDU credit for up to 5 months = $25 in movie credit if you buy a Spark. So what you ask. Well the Spark is $24.96 at Walmart so you come out 4 cents ahead if you can avoid taxes and shipping. I assume you can buy it in the store but online they will get you for shipping unless you can add some other random products to bring it up to $35 for free shipping.


The phrase 'ALL NATURAL' has been thrown around a lot recently, along with artisanal, organic and microbiotic.
Our wine comes from grapes grown in the Central Valley of California.
Our fruit flavors come from the skins of real fruit.
We then add a little cane sugar to each.
That's all there really is to say about that.


I've always loved to sing children's music. Kids' songs would pop into my mind throughout the day. I would either hum or sing them under my breath. I have some favourites which will always be with me.
Here is a list in no particular order.
Of course there are many more songs. Also, I love other songs that are not considered to be children's songs.
Last year, I was playing with my Olympus sound recorder and captured this a recording that reminded me that I loved to sing children's music. I decided to make a short video using a picture of me back in 2011. I'm not sure what is going to happen in my life but songs keeps coming up. The only thing I can do is share them.
