Minnesota is not just a great place to live and study but also a place with a fascinating history and many historical landmarks.
Minnesota became the 32nd state in the United States on May 11, 1858. Over the course of the decades that followed Minnesota has been the stage for cultural development, technological advancement and the home of great leaders. It is where the first successful open heart surgery was completed, it was at the forefront of America's industrial development, and it is/was the home of leaders in culture, business and the sporting world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (author), Roger Maris (athlete), Bob Dylan (musician), Josh Hartnett (actor), Judy Garland (actress), Lindsey Vonn (Olympic gold-midlist in skiing), Laura Ingalls Wilder (author), Greg LeMond (winner of the Tour de France), Charles Lindberg (aviator), Joel and Ethan Cohen (film directors), Walter Mondale (politician and former US Vice President), the Mayo brothers (physicians and founders of the Mayo Clinic) and Prince (musician) are all native Minnesotans. As you will see during your studies at Minnesota, we are a state with a colorful past and a bright future.
Minnesota Historical Places
An interactive museum with both permanent and changing exhibits, the Minnesota History Center hosts concerts, lectures, family days and other special events throughout the year. The building is also home to the Minnesota Historical Society library and archives, a research destination for schoolchildren, family historians and academics.
Rugged stone, massive scale, fine detail and ingenious mechanical systems recall the powerful presence of James J. Hill, builder of the Great Northern Railway. Guides lead tours that help you imagine family and servant life in the Gilded Age mansion, the setting of the public and private lives of the Hill family.
Built into the ruins of what was once the world's largest flour mill, Mill City Museum is located on the historic Mississippi Riverfront. Here, visitors of all ages learn about the intertwined histories of the flour industry, the river, and the city of Minneapolis.
Shipwrecks from a mighty 1905 November gale prompted this rugged landmark's construction. Completed by the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1910, Split Rock Light Station was soon one of Minnesota's best known landmarks. Restored to its 1920s appearance, the lighthouse offers a glimpse of lighthouse life in this remote and spectacular setting.
Built in the early 1820s, Historic Fort Snelling is a great place to learn about military history from before the Civil War through World War II, fur trade history, slavery in Minnesota, the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, and much more! Its location – at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers – has been significant for centuries to many American Indian communities.

With the new updates in CS5 and 5.5, you're now able to distribute layout elements, resize gaps and customise frame corners faster using the interactive Gap tool and Live Corner Effects.
These intuitive features enable you to manipulate objects without having to leave the spread or constantly switch tools – shaving valuable seconds off repetitive tasks.
01 To get started, first switch your screen workspace to the Typography setting under Workspace or through the drop-down menu. Typography is a good option when you're working with magazine layouts because it gives you all of the tools you need, enabling you to work very efficiently.
02 Let's start by creating a grid of frames within your layout. Before dropping your images into each one, select all the frames and hit Object>Fitting>Frame Fitting Options. Set Fitting to Fill Frame Proportionately and set Align From in the centre by clicking on the centre square. Finally, select Auto-Fit, which will enable your images to scale to fit the frame automatically. This will come in handy when you start changing the size of the frames. Now click OK and go back to your layout.
03 It's time to load your images into the grid of frames you've created. Click on File and choose Place. Select all the images you'd like to bring into the layout and hit Open. This will load the images into a brush and you'll simply need to click on each frame to load them.
04 When hovering over an image you'll notice the content indicator – a transparent circle in the middle of the picture. If you place your mouse in the centre of the circle, the cursor will change to a hand symbol. This enables you to reposition images easily by clicking and dragging them to look exactly as you wish.
05 You can use the Gap tool to adjust the space between two or more objects without having to individually size the elements on the page. Select the Gap tool. Hover it between the frames you'd like to adjust and a highlight appears with two directional arrows. By dragging the highlighted space left, right, up and down, you can simultaneously manipulate the spaces between the objects.
06 You'll notice that by default the shared gap boundary is affected and therefore all images within the same row or column will scale together. If you'd like to select only two objects to be resized, hold the Shift key and drag between the two images.
07 Let's say that you want to change the size of the gap between the objects. Hit Ctrl/Cmd and drag to make the gap bigger or smaller.
08 The Gap tool can also easily be used to measure the gap between two objects. Place the Gap tool between the objects, and then click and hold. The Smart Dimensions feature displays the width and height of the gap.
09 Now that you have a grid of images positioned the way you want, let's make the layout more dynamic by changing the shape of the frames. Switch back to the Selection tool and click on one of the images. You'll notice a yellow square on the right edge of the frame. Click on this square and all four corners now have yellow diamonds.
10 Press Shift and start dragging one of the yellow diamonds on the corner to change the radius dynamically to 15pt. In order to adjust all four corners at the same time, simply click on one of the yellow diamonds and drag until you have your desired radius on all four corners.

LA Clippers' victory ensures LA Lakers' worst record in team history

By Mark Medina | mmedina@scng.com | Daily News
PUBLISHED: April 7, 2016 at 1:07 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 12:55 p.m.
The humbling experiences did not just involve Kobe Bryant's ongoing fight with Father Time. Or that the Lakers looked disjointed offensively.
The Lakers lost to the Clippers, 91-81, on Wednesday in a designated home game at Staples Center, a game that ensured the Lakers will end the 2015-16 season with their worst record in franchise history. Bryant posted 17 points on only 6-of-19 shooting in 27 minutes. The Clippers' J.J. Redick (15 points), DeAndre Jordan (15), Chris Paul (13) and Blake Griffin (13) punished the Lakers' flimsy defense.
Julius Randle tied for a career-high 19 rebounds, while D'Angelo Russell eclipsed Nick Van Exel for most 3-pointers made by a rookie in Lakers history. But those are just footnotes in an otherwise dour season.
"There aren't different degrees of losing, not in my mind," Bryant said. "You either win a championship or you're (bleep). It's very black and white to me. So whether you set a franchise record for losses or you get to the playoffs and lose in the Western Conference Finals, those are the same damn things to me. A lot of people probably don't understand that."
Perhaps not for obvious reasons.
The Lakers also finished last year with their previous worst mark in franchise history with a 21-61 mark, a milestone that did not become official until incidentally losing in a double-digit loss to the Clippers in early April.
This time, the Lakers (16-62) at best will tie with the Phoenix Suns for the NBA's second-worst record behind the Philadelphia 76ers. If the they lose any of their four remaining games, however, the Lakers will have the league's second-worst mark with 55.8 percent odds of keeping their top-three protected draft pick.
This only sparks more questions besides if the ping-pong balls will bounce their way.
How did the Lakers fare worse than last year's team when they have fielded a relatively healthier Bryant and a crop of young players, including Russell, Randle and Jordan Clarkson?
"You take away some of the veterans we had last year and plug in these young guys that haven't played at this level, it's a different story," Scott said. "They're learning and it's hard. When we had the veteran guys, they know how to compete every single night. They've been in the league for a while. These young guys don't know how to do that every night. That's what they're learning how to do in bringing that intensity earlier today. You have to bring that intensity level every single night. For the young guys right now, their attention to detail that they don't have on a night to night basis is tough. But they're learning. They're getting a hard lesson this year for learning what not to do."
Scott believes he has learned a hard lesson, too.
"I'm very critical of myself. I think I could've done better," Scott said. "I still think I can do better. But the other thing I look at is I have a bunch of young guys that also at times you have to treat with kid gloves."
Scott has often questioned his players' effort following debilitating losses. He also yanked starting positions from Russell and Randle 20 games into the season after becoming frustrated both with the Lakers' slow starts and their inconsistency.
Scott revealed that Bryant recently told him "he'll continue to call me and prevent me from jumping off the ledge every now and then." Earlier this week, Scott lamented the 37-year-old Bryant and 36-year-old Metta World Peace have played with more intensity than his younger players.
"With our young guys, could I probably have done a better job? Probably so," Scott said. "I have to look at that this summer and how can I help them next year to get even better?"
Scott has two years left on his contract, including a team option in his final year. But the Lakers will not determine until the 2015-16 season ends whether Scott fits in their long-term future.
Scott had garnered some sympathy on the challenges in managing a newly assembled roster, young players and an aging Bryant. But the Lakers obviously are not happy with their record and want to see continual development in their young players.
Scott said he has learned to communicate more with his players and explain the thought process behind his decisions.
"You don't have to give up who you are, which is not what I'm going to have to do," Scott said. "But you do have to adapt and understand now the communication level has to be much better. With these young guys, I've definitely done a better job of understanding this is a different generation."

A year ago, I built a Raspberry Pi based car computer to provide music, along with weather, location and speed information, while going on a road trip around Australia. At the start of the trip, the computer used an external USB Huawei K3715 3G Dongle for Internet connectivity.
The system acts as wifi access point for other devices in the car. Using the on board wifi adapter provided with the Raspberry Pi 3.
As the trip progressed though I started to get tire of suffering 3G speeds in the age of 4G networks. My other complaint was the overall quality of the network connection.
I have a large external 4G antenna mounted on the bullbar of the car with the aim of improving the connection qualit in rural areas. The Huawei K3715 does not support an external antenna connector, forcing the use of a 3G induction pad to have the two work together.
While shopping around for an upgrade, I was told that Telstra ( Australia's incumbent telco ) had recently discontinued 4G dongles. Apparently as they suffer compatibility issues with Windows 10, so I would need to either get a standalone modem hot spot or find somewhere carrying old stock.
Since the device is used in a car , switching to a standalone unit would also add the challenge of getting the device to work with a 12 volt power source. Not wanting introduce more headaches, I headed down to the local post office and was able to pick up a Telstra branded ZTE MF823 off the shelf for $39.
While the device offers 4G support and provides not one but two external antenna ports. My initial impressions of the device after plugging it in were not great.
It appears on the host system as a virtual Ethernet adapter with the user controlling the device through a web interface. I hate this approach as so many manufacturers ship their products with woeful interfaces. While going to great length to hide all the great capabilities of the hardware itself.
But first impressions can be deceiving; after a bit of time poking around the ZTE MF823, my opinion was completely turned around.
Port 80 & 23 were expected but telnet made things interesting. After some research, I found these devices ship with a default password 'zte9x15' and run BusyBox.
Looking at the results of /proc/cpuinfo, df -h and top. I discovered out the ZTE MF823 is just a standalone ARM v7 based Linux system with a 64mb file system.
The quality of the code itself for the interface is not too bad either, built with KockoutJS and jQuery.
/usr/zte_web/web/tmpl – Contains a bunch of template files for the web interface. Not so interesting in itself but ZTE must reuse this code base over a number of the devices they make. This directory contains templates for managing a wifi access point, and other features that the ZTE MF823 does not support.
/usr/zte_web/web/js/config/datacard/mf823/config.js – Continuing along from the point above, this config file in this director allows the features for a device to be set. This gives ZTE control of the functionality made available to the end user in the web management interface.
/usr/zte_web/web/js/config/datacard/mf823/menus.js – Controls what functionality menus are shown on the admin pages.
js/main.js – Line 1 has a flag window.zte_web_ui_is_test = false, changing this to true enables a debug mode in the interface. Displaying a 2G network connection and displaying 20 odd test SMS messages in the inbox.
When the system first boots, due to the lack of a hardware real time clock. The time and date will automatically default to Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 UTC 2012.
Not really a huge deal. But if the dongle is going to be constantly powered up, its probably a good idea to set the time with ntpd. This will make the debugging of logs etc a lot easier if issues are encountered at a later date.
From the factory the device ships using the 192.168.0.0/32 address space. This can can cause issues in networks where the subnet is already being used.
In my case the car computer communicates with devices connecting over wifi on that subnet so the dongle was going to have to change.
Luckily ZTE has already added the functionality to change the device IP and DHCP range. They just decided to hide it from to the end user.
Save the file, and then reload the admin interface in your browser. If you click on the "Settings", expand the "Device Settings" heading on the left hand side of the page.
You will now see a menu labeled router settings, click on the new menu item to bring up a page allowing you to change the IP of the device and subnet the DHCP service hands out leases on.
These fields are read only while the device is connected to a mobile network. So if the fields appear grey and you cannot change the values. Go back to the home page of the device and click the disconnect button. Upon returning to the router settings page you will now be able to change the settings.
Once you have changed the values click the save button. Then simple take the dongle out and plug it back in to have the changes take effect.
I have to come to love the device but I still didn't want Telstra branding staring me in the face every time I use the device. So, time to make some interface customisations of my own.
If you decide to follow in my footsteps, before you get started it may pay to make a backup of the html and image files you are going to change. On my device there is 25mb free in the /usr partition that can be used for storage just in case you want to revert the changes later.
The main large image on the right hand side on the home page in the device administration interface is defined on line 82 of /usr/zte_web/web/tmpl/home.html if you want simply delete the line and your done.
Delete line 28 then save the changes. Reload and the interface will display without the Telstra logo up the top.
After two calls to Telstra support and a week waiting for them to activate my data SIM. I decided to give up on them activating the service completely.
The path of least resistance would be to just throw their SIM card in the bin. Then focus my energy on unlocking the dongle so it could be used on another network instead.
I brought an unlock code for the device from Unlockbase.com for $10 USD, which worked. A small price to pay to avoid wasting more time dealing with the Telstra customer support team.
You may also be able to use this on-line tool to unlock the device as it generates code for free. I didn't find this too until after I had the device unlocked. So I haven't been able to test the service personally though.
You can simply alter the queries, giving you a simple API that you to can use build your own front end. This could be very handy for monitoring data usage or signal strength if the device is being used in an IOT type environment.
This will return a JSON object containing the values for the parameters requested.
From here it is just a case of writing so code to parse the JSON values and display or store as you see fit.

Protesters Called Minneapolis Officials' Bluff on "Investigating" George Floyd's Killer
After four days of dragging his feet, the Hennepin County attorney has filed murder charges against officer Derek Chauvin.
By Aviva Shen

Protests and riots broke out across American cities this week to demand justice for George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was killed by Derek Chauvin, a Minneapolis police officer, while three other officers watched. The four officers involved were fired after video of the officer kneeling on Floyd's neck went public. But for days, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office maintained that it would wait for an investigation to conclude before deciding whether or not to prosecute. On Friday, after protesters burned down a police precinct and pressure mounted, Hennepin County Attorney Freeman announced he was charging Chauvin with third-degree murder and manslaughter. "I didn't want to wait any longer to share the news that he's in custody and charged with murder," he said.
This was a rapid shift for the attorney, who less than 24 hours earlier had warned that he did not yet have the evidence he needed to indict Chauvin, and warned repeatedly that the investigation would take time. "We're going to investigate [Floyd's death] as expeditiously, as thoroughly and completely as justice demands," Freeman said in a press conference Thursday. "Sometimes, that takes a little time and we ask people to be patient. We have to do this right."
The statement raised eyebrows for good reason. The video clearly shows a homicide. Even if, somehow, investigators discovered Floyd had threatened the officers in some way before the cameras had started rolling, what could possibly justify kneeling on his neck until he died?
Too often, the promise of investigation serves mostly to buy time until public outrage quiets down.
On Friday, reporters pressed Freeman, asking him what had changed between Thursday and Friday, and if public outcry had influenced his decision. He maintained simply that on Thursday, his office did not have all the information it needed, and today it did.
It may well be true that there was some key piece of evidence that clicked everything into place; Freeman would not specify what evidence he had been waiting for to bring charges. What's more likely is that Freeman had unsuccessfully deployed a script used by many a city official facing anger over police brutality: Urge calm while promising a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of what exactly happened, and then take long enough to get to the bottom of it until public anger has, to some degree, dissipated.
The Minneapolis police force has a well-established record of using excessive force and killing people who pose no threat. Chauvin himself has been involved in multiple police shootings and has at least one other death under his belt, but this is his first indictment.
Freeman insisted this was the fastest his office has ever charged anyone. A reporter quickly called out that she had previously seen the attorney bring charges much more quickly than the four days this case took. He clarified that this was the fastest indictment of a police officer. "Normally, these cases can take nine months to a year," he said.
So what, exactly, needed to be investigated before making an arrest in this case? As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey noted, if a video surfaced showing a civilian committing such violence, they would be arrested immediately. The video was more than enough to establish probable cause for an arrest on its own. Another point of comparison is how quickly police arrested a black CNN reporter, Omar Jimenez, early Friday morning, surely knowing there was no case against him. (His press badge was visible, and he was live on camera.) The police are still arresting other people involved in the protests and booking them in jail, likely with much less evidence in hand and before conducting substantive investigations. Typically, the bulk of investigations continue, both by the prosecution and defense, after a charge has been brought.
It's not that investigations never reveal new information. They are valuable and important. The Department of Justice investigation into Ferguson, Missouri, determined that the early, iconic narrative of Brown's death—that officer Darren Wilson shot him while he had his hands up—was not true. There was no video of the shooting, and conflicting witness statements were one key reason why a grand jury declined to indict Wilson. That same investigation also detailed how the people of Ferguson and the surrounding region had been living under an unconstitutional extortion scheme that threatened nearly every resident with jail time if they did not pay any number of fines and fees.
But too often, the promise of investigation—particularly in cases like this, where video exists and eyewitnesses are plentiful—serves mostly to buy time until public outrage quiets down. Minneapolis protesters showed they're not falling for that anymore.
They're right to be skeptical. After police officers killed Jamar Clark in November 2015, Black Lives Matter demonstrators camped outside the 4th Precinct for 18 days and sustained regular protests well into January. Freeman took four months to investigate before announcing he was not charging the officers on March 30, 2016.
The investigation into the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014 was among the most egregious examples of this tactic. Protests erupted after the release of video showing police officers driving up to the child as he played with a toy gun, exiting their car, and, within seconds, opening fire on him. The officers then tackled and handcuffed his 14-year-old sister rather than try to administer first aid to Rice. Cleveland prosecutor Timothy McGinty handed the decision to indict the officers to a grand jury, and the county sheriff took on the investigation, declining to set a deadline. A municipal judge determined there was probable cause to prosecute the officers for a slew of charges, from manslaughter to negligent homicide, but McGinty dismissed that recommendation. It took him nearly a full year to conclude that shooting the preteen was an "objectively reasonable" thing to do.
When Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police officers killed Alton Sterling in 2016, bystanders' videos showed officers using a stun gun on Sterling multiple times and forcing him against a car before shooting him. The East Baton Rouge district attorney quickly recused himself, saying he had worked closely with one of the officers' parents, who were also police officers. The DOJ took 10 months to investigate before they ultimately decided not to bring federal charges. Only then did Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry take up the case, claiming he needed time to review investigative materials collected by the DOJ. He dragged his feet for another 11 months before declaring that the killing had been justified.
One reason these investigations and outcomes are so frequently slow-pedaled is because officials know how unlikely it is for the cops in question to ever end up in prison. Yes, the delays bring the wrath of the people—but quick action that doesn't end in conviction might have other political consequences. Others have pointed out that the cozy relationship between prosecutors and police makes it impossible for the former to conduct a fair investigation; prosecutors depend heavily on police to do their jobs and typically aren't willing to alienate them. Law enforcement cannot fairly investigate itself. It's also very difficult to secure a guilty verdict against a police officer. The Supreme Court has cooked up permissive standards that justifies police use of deadly force so long as other police officers would see the action as "reasonable." Stringent police union contracts pile on requirements to allow officers to get their stories straight before being interviewed, or refuse to be interviewed at all.
Judging by his office's statements this week, Freeman is keeping all of this front of mind. "In order to bring charges and obtain a guilty verdict, there are very specific parts of the law which must be met in prosecuting any crime of violence," the county attorney's office tweeted Wednesday. On Thursday, Freeman reiterated, "That video is graphic and horrific and terrible, and no person should do that. But my job in the end is to prove that he violated a criminal statute."

SCOTUS Had No Legal Reason to Block Biden's Vaccine Rules. So It Made One Up.
This statement is revealing. Not only does it hint at the cost-benefit analysis that slowed down prosecution—it shows how prosecution and indictments are driven not by who is actually guilty of a crime but how easy it will be to convict them. The results are visible in the convictions the Hennepin County Attorney's Office churns out, which look like its counterparts all across the country. Sure, sometimes there's a strong case with a mountain of evidence. But more often than not, the people who are easiest to convict are those with the least protection, not those with the most evidence. The vast majority of convictions in the U.S. arise from people pleading guilty long before they get to face a jury of their peers. The easiest person to convict is someone who is sitting in a cell awaiting trial because they can't afford bail. Studies have found that pretrial detention increases the likelihood that someone will be convicted or plead guilty. People in jail also tend to receive longer sentences than people who are able to fight their case from home. If you can't pay your way out, you plead your way out. Or you hope you survive jail to make it to trial.
These same people tend to be brutalized by the police. Their convictions rarely look like justice. They have reason to be skeptical of the calls for careful investigation before making an arrest—that's not how it works for them. And they have reason to doubt that a system set up like this can deliver justice to the people it's victimized so thoroughly. The arrest of Chauvin doesn't guarantee he will be convicted, or that the city will do what's necessary to prevent another murder like Floyd's. But this week, so many residents of the city of Minneapolis demonstrated they won't be easily satisfied this time.

Nagauta is a genre of Shamisen music. After the Chinese Sangen was popularised in the Ryukyu Islands, it was originally introduced into Japan as the Shamisen around 1550, after which it was modified into diverse forms in accordance with usage, environment and occasion. In particular, Nagauta evolved as the musical accompaniment to Kabuki dance. Since the Nagauta genre developed by way of incorporating the fortes of other popular art forms of the times, it was able to assimilate a wide range of different artistic worlds. Eventually, Nagauta came to be appreciated as a genre in its own right and independent of Kabuki.
Nagauta is music that is produced from a combination of song and the shamisen instrument. Chanting may also feature. The composition of the orchestra can range from a minimum of two shamisen players and one singer (nicho ichimai) up to a maximum of ten shamisen players and ten singers (jiccho jumai). The shamisen instrument used in Nagauta has the smallest body of all other types of shamisen (hosozao). It is played by placing the body on one's right thigh, supporting the neck with the left hand and holding the notes with the fingers of the left hand whilst strumming with a pick held in the right hand. It is normal to strum the strings by slamming down the sharp corner at the end of the pick against the body but other methods also exist.
Nagauta pieces include sections called the Aikata. This part has no concomitant song bearing musical meaning but is performed solely with the shamisen instrument. Most Aikata are composed with reference to a certain image, and therefore, are often given individual titles, for example, "The Aikata of Insects" in the piece "The Colours of Autumn". Within shamisen music, Aikata is categorised as Utaimono (not a narrative) largely due to its airy and melodious rhythm.
Thank you very much for visiting Isojiro Yoshimura's website. This website covers a wide range of topics from the history of "Nagauta" (a representative genre of the traditional Japanese Shamisen music) to information about myself, my professional activities and Shamisen lessons.
As one who continues the tradition of classical Japanese music, I have made it my lifework to explore the academic foundations of Nagauta. Arguably, such a cause contradicts the "theatrical taste" of Nagauta but I believe that to revisit and investigate the origins of Nagauta is the only way to hand down traditional music to posterity.
First received an induction to the Nagauta Shamisen from Eitomi Kineya in 1995 on graduating from Nihon University Buzan High School.
Apprenticed to Isoshichi Yoshimura from 1998 whilst studying at the Nihon University Department of Japanese Language and Literature and was given the stage name Isojiro Yoshimura in February of the following year.
Professionally debuted at the National Theatre of Japan in April 1999.
Thereafter, performed in concerts, dance performances and Kabuki plays at the National Theatre of Japan and Kabuki-Za in addition to appearing in NHK programmes. Currently presiding over Yayo-kai. Member of the Nagauta Association. Instructor at the Yomiuri NTV Culture Center. Lately engaged in Japanese music songwriting.

We are all now becoming more aware for the need to save our environment and resources such as water, amongst the many products that we sell at UK Bathrooms more emphasis in now being put onto systems such as dual flush cisterns and showering products that are environmentally and eco friendly.
Grohe has been at the forefront in many of the eco friendly items that can be found at our web pages, so it comes as no surprise to us that they have been named for the prestigious German Sustainability Award 2014. As a market leader, Grohe has always recognised that importance of saving resources, water energy and of course sustainable production.
We illustrate a whole range of Grohe products over 170 and one example is the Grohe Adagio Concealed Dual Flush Cistern. This uses the Grohe EcoJoy technology cited as just one reason for their nomination; the system uses 50% less water through their technology.
The Adagio is also insulated against condensation, so you will no longer see unsightly water around the toilet area. Our discounted price for this item includes all the fixing brackets and flush pipe need for a neat efficient toilet system.
The jury has placed the Grohe Company into the top three shortlisted for the "Resource Efficiency" 2014 special award.


—Okinawa gubernatorial election already has about 35% voter turnout because a historical record high number voted early, many of them anticipating the possibility that the typhoon might strike on Election Day. Tomorrow evening the next Okinawa Governor will be known.
—Voter turnout low on Election Day, largely because so many people voted in advance. By 2pm the total combined voter turnout was close to 47%.
—Voter turnout likely to be lower than the 64.1% turnout in 2014 when Takeshi Onaga was elected governor.
—Denny Tamaki declared winner of Okinawa gubernatorial elections!
—The immediate calling of the election is due to exit polls which apparently weren't even that close in that they revealed.
—Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga left his disaster management post three times this past month to personally campaign for Atsushi Sakima, but neither he nor Yuriko Koike nor Shinjiro Koizumi could convince Okinawans.
—Exit polls make clear that about 20% of voters who identify with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and even Komeito voted for Tamaki. However, where Tamaki really shone was among independents, getting about 70%.
—NHK, which had been more cautious than other news organizations, now agrees that Denny Tamaki won the Okinawa gubernatorial race.
—Tamaki himself looks like he didn't really believe he had won until NHK called it. The banzai moment has come.
—Always charming about Okinawa elections is that after the banzai the winners perform a traditional Okinawan dance. That tells you the place isn't exactly the same as the rest of Japan.
—This had been a very tough year for the All-Okinawa movement. Susumu Inamine was defeated in the Nago mayoral race, the Abe government kept its hard line, and Governor Takeshi Onaga fell sick and died. Denny Tamaki's race, however, was the main event, and they have won it.
—The conservative candidate, Masanori Matsukawa, won the Ginowan mayoral race, preventing an All-Okinawa sweep and maintaining the same balance of power as existed before Takeshi Onaga's death.
—Kansai International Airport will be closed for the rest of the day due to the arrival of Typhoon No. 24. This is the first major typhoon to hit the area since Typhoon No. 21 massively flooded the airport and stranded its passengers for a couple days.
—Shinkansen and many train services being suspended in the Kansai region due to the arrival of Typhoon No. 24.
—JR East announces that it will shut down all train services in the Tokyo metropolitan region at 8pm today due to the expected impact of Typhoon No. 24.
—Much of the Tokyo region will be shut down by 8pm, so it is very wise to be safe at home by that time. Trains and buses will not be running. Probably taxis will be the only public transportation option after 8. Pro baseball games, etc., have been cancelled.
—Note that power outages are also possible. Okinawa still has about 200,000 homes and buildings with no electricity. Power has been knocked out to about 140,000 more homes and buildings in Kagoshima Prefecture.
—The most intense part of the typhoon expected to be felt in Tokyo around midnight and then tomorrow will be a beautiful blue skies day. It is possible that Tokyo won't take a direct hit.
—Heavy rains starting to fall in central Tokyo. Estimates are for about 350 millimeters of rainfall in most of the capital region, but it could be higher than that.
—Services on the Tokaido Shinkansen will be entirely suspended within the next 90 minutes. Most other Shinkansen lines to be shut down as well, if they haven't been already.
—This typhoon may produce wind gusts that break Japanese records in some areas. There is a possibility of 50 meter per second (110 mph) winds in the Tokyo area overnight. Opening and closing doors can be especially dangerous.
—Reported casualties rise to 1 person missing and 71 serious injuries nationally.
—This is the last hour for all JR line trains to run in the Tokyo region.
—JR East confirms that it is planning to run most trains tomorrow morning in the Tokyo region on a normal schedule. Only a few of the earliest morning trains from outlying areas will be suspended.
—Typhoon makes landfall near Tanabe city, Wakayama Prefecture.
—Typhoon has led to the cancellation about almost 1,300 passenger flights nationally.
—JR East will inevitably be facing complaints that it jumped the gun in shutting down the Tokyo train system at 8pm. It is now 10:30pm and the region is so far feeling few effects other than intermittent light rain and small gusts of wind.
—The most direct threat to Shinzo Abe in the coming months is his dream to revise the Constitution, which is not shared by his big business allies. If he uses up too much political capital on his pet Constitution schemes, they may start looking for a new horse to ride.
—House of Representatives lawmaker Manabu Terata has joined the caucus of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan after meeting with Yukio Edano. Terada says the need to fight the Abe regime is urgent.
—Graffiti getting national attention. Shincho publisher's ad slogan of "Have you read it?" changed to "Have you read the hate book?" It is criticism of Shincho 45's publication of Mio Sugita's anti-LGBT prejudice and then decision to defend prejudice in its latest issue.
—Shinchosha Publishing Company announces indefinite suspension of publication of Shincho 45 after editorial decision to defend anti-LGBT discrimination. Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Mio Sugita's essay and the botched response ended up sinking the entire magazine.
—Rightwingers go nuts as Takashi Uemura becomes president of the company that publishes Shukan Kinyobi. As an Asahi Shinbun journalist, Uemura's articles about Comfort Women were particularly controversial.
—Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan commits to running at least twenty candidates in next House of Councillors election who are either openly LGBT or people with disabilities. This is meant to reflect the progressive party's embrace of a diverse, tolerant Japanese society.
—The Abe Cabinet reshuffle to take place on October 2. Yoshihide Suga and Taro Aso will definitely remain in place, according to the latest word.
—Keiichi Ishii tipped to remain as Land Minister in spite of his weak performance in debates in the last Diet session. Komeito decides they want Ishii to continue for now and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is apparently fine with that.
—Abe critic Seiko Noda tipped to be replaced as Minister of Internal Affairs. We will know soon, but it looks like Shinzo Abe planning to sweep all critics out of Cabinet and install flunkeys and supporters only. There's still time for a surprise however.
—Abe government requesting Komeito to meet and discuss Constitution revision, but so far Komeito is rejecting such talks.
—Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan to run lawyer Michiko Kameishi as a House of Councillors candidate in Osaka. She is being touted as a potential political star for the future.
—Tetsuo Saito replaces Yoshihisa Inoue as the Secretary-General of the Komeito party. This appears to have been done mainly because Inoue is 71 years old and Saito is 66, five years younger. This is what "handing to the young generation" looks like in Japanese politics.
—Natsuo Yamaguchi officially elected to another two-year term as leader of the Komeito party. He has held the position since September 2009.
—One point that's not sufficiently understood is that the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's first political imperative is to wipe out the other opposition parties to show that they are the only viable alternative, and only then to seriously contest the Liberal Democratic Party for power in the 2020s.
—Continuing to show its innovative nature, Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan holding its "festival," a casual-style talk show, to mark the anniversary of the progressive party's foundation and to explain its policies to the public. This party keeps demonstrating an evolution missing in its rivals.
—US President Donald Trump claims that Japan doesn't contribute enough to the US-Japan Alliance. In this case, he's echoing the mantra of the US Establishment which has made the same argument ad nauseam since 1990.
—One thing we haven't seen in mainstream commentary is the likelihood that US President Donald Trump's insistence that a "Red Wave" is coming is just a prelude to his future claims, after the 2018 Midterm Elections, that Democratic victories were based on massive voter fraud.
—Conservation groups and Okinawa residents appeal the adverse August verdict in San Francisco in order to prevent the construction of the US Marine airbase at Henoko.
—Philippines, Myanmar, Russia, Turkey: Abe diplomacy shows a distinct tendency to ignore or downplay the human rights records of other nations. Of course, that's hardly surprising when he seems unenthusiastic about democratic checks-and-balances at home in Japan as well.
—US President Donald Trump on North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un: "He wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love." Thus Trump proves again that flattery will get you everywhere with a narcissist like him. Just say you worship him, and he loves you.
—South Korea asks Japan not to use the Rising Sun flag at joint naval events because it is closely associated in many people's minds with Japanese Imperialism of the wartime era. The Abe government refuses, claiming that they are legally obliged to do so.
—Aung San Suu Kyi expected to visit Japan next month, including a tour in Fukushima Prefecture.
—China says that Donald Trump has launched "the largest trade war in economic history" with a third round of punishing tariffs on US$200 billion worth of Chinese goods. Beijing to retaliate. Collectively, Trump tariffs against China now apply to over US$250 billion of Chinese goods, which is more than half of what China exports to the United States. In return, Beijing has so far retaliated with tariffs against US$110 billion in US goods. Talks have broken down.
—The anti-nuclear movement suffers another blow as the Hiroshima High Court reverses its injunction against the restart of the Ikata No. 3 nuclear reactor.
—Shinzo Abe buckles and suddenly agrees to talks with the United States toward a bilateral trade agreement, reversing his stance up to this point. Probably Abe's team became intimidated by the trade war Trump launched against China and want to stay off Trump's hit list.
—Right now US$1.00 = 113.69 Yen.
—Cryptocurrency firm Tech Bureau in the doghouse with regulators. Even before the recent theft, they had received two warnings from the Financial Services Agency over a lack of security measures. Now they have been slapped with a third warning.
—JAXA releases photos from the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft that were taken by the rovers that have landed on the surface of the asteroid Ryugu. As for that asteroid, it might be a nice to visit, but you sure wouldn't want to live there!
—Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, herself a former Environment Minister, may take the lead nationally in replacing plastic straws with paper straws to help reduce plastic waste. An experiment now beginning at Tokyo Metropolitan Government headquarters' coffee shops.
—Former Yokozuna Takanohana submits application to retire from the Japan Sumo Association.
—In what must be classed a pretty smart move, Tokyo Medical University appoints its first female president, Yukiko Hayashi, after the embarrassing revelation that they long had an appalling policy of secretly lowering the scores of female applicants for admission.
—Times Higher Education World University Rankings suggest that Japanese universities are starting to become more competitive after years of stagnation. University of Tokyo now put at No. 42 ranking in the world, still quite low for the world's No. 3 economy.
—Nintendo has apparently won a lawsuit against the operators of the MariCar business for allowing its participants, mostly foreign tourists, to dress up in Nintendo-like costumes as they go-kart around Tokyo.
—Kumamoto City Council kicked out member Yuka Ogata from a plenary session for the offense of having a cough drop in her mouth while speaking. She is the same councilwoman who gained global attention last year for bringing her newborn baby to a council meeting.
Note: There were no separate "Today in Japan" reports issued between September 24 and September 29.

Some supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at New Ningo in the Ningo-Prampram Constituency, Greater Accra Region, have hit the streets to register their anger at an NPP banner on a billboard some unidentified persons have torn.
The billboard is the property of DDP, a private advertising company, and it had been advertising the banner of Enoch Teye (ET) Mensah, outgoing Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, for the many years he had been MP until he was given a resounding beating by his trainee, Samuel George Nartey, in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primary.
The billboard is sited on the Aniamorsi Road, from Prampram, and Seth Kwasi, spokesperson for Friends of Sylvester Tetteh, a support group for the NPP parliamentary candidate for the constituency, said the banner had the pictures of Nana Addo, NPP 2016 presidential candidate, and Sylvester Tetteh.
Displaying NPP miniature flags and a poster of Sylvester, the demonstrators peacefully marched through the main principal street of the area, singing and blowing vuvuzelas—a duplicate kind of South African loud horn made of plastic.
Seth Kwasi said the NPP in New Ningo could not understand why some faceless persons would engage in the criminal act, after their candidate had spent a little over GH₵170,000 to print the large format banner and paid for other expenses to get the job done.
He explained that for the many years the same billboard advertised ET Mensah, nobody tempered with it.
He, therefore, said the party did not understand why a week's old NPP banner would be torn apart by their prime suspect, the NDC.
Seth Kwasi told ghnewsnow.com that the matter had been reported to the police.
He said the police should investigate the act and punish the culprits.

A satellite is rotating around Earth at 0.25 radian per hour at an altitude of 242 km above Earth. If the radius of Earth is 6378 kilometers, find the linear speed of the satellite in kilometers per hour.
Access these online resources for additional instruction and practice with angles, arc length, and areas of sectors.
An angle is formed from the union of two rays, by keeping the initial side fixed and rotating the terminal side. The amount of rotation determines the measure of the angle.
An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies along the positive x -axis. A positive angle is measured counterclockwise from the initial side and a negative angle is measured clockwise.
To draw an angle in standard position, draw the initial side along the positive x -axis and then place the terminal side according to the fraction of a full rotation the angle represents. See [link] .
In addition to degrees, the measure of an angle can be described in radians. See [link] .
To convert between degrees and radians, use the proportion θ 180 = θ R π . See [link] and [link] .
Two angles that have the same terminal side are called coterminal angles.
We can find coterminal angles by adding or subtracting 360° or 2 π . See [link] and [link] .
Coterminal angles can be found using radians just as they are for degrees. See [link] .
The length of a circular arc is a fraction of the circumference of the entire circle. See [link] .
The area of sector is a fraction of the area of the entire circle. See [link] .
An object moving in a circular path has both linear and angular speed.
The angular speed of an object traveling in a circular path is the measure of the angle through which it turns in a unit of time. See [link] .
The linear speed of an object traveling along a circular path is the distance it travels in a unit of time. See [link] .
Draw an angle in standard position. Label the vertex, initial side, and terminal side.
Explain why there are an infinite number of angles that are coterminal to a certain angle.
State what a positive or negative angle signifies, and explain how to draw each.
Whether the angle is positive or negative determines the direction. A positive angle is drawn in the counterclockwise direction, and a negative angle is drawn in the clockwise direction.
How does radian measure of an angle compare to the degree measure? Include an explanation of 1 radian in your paragraph.
Explain the differences between linear speed and angular speed when describing motion along a circular path.
Linear speed is a measurement found by calculating distance of an arc compared to time. Angular speed is a measurement found by calculating the angle of an arc compared to time.


M Bobby Convey — Once expected to be the next big thing in American soccer, Convey is really producing this season. The 26 year old has five assists and got on such a hot streak that some insisted he deserved a call-up to USMNT camp.
F Chris Wondolowski — This guy has been one of the biggest surprises in the league this season. He already has four goals, a total he barely reached in his first five years of MLS. He was the other end of the trade that sent ex-Sounder Cam Weaver to Houston.
D Jason Hernandez — The Earthquakes defense has been stellar in the last few weeks earning three straight shutouts. Sigi Schmid said S.J. defends well as a group with 8-9 guys, but Hernandez has been a mainstay in the back.
Convey v. Seattle defender James Riley — The Earthquakes left winger is their playmaker. Riley has the fitness and experience to slow him down. The counterattack might be something to watch between these two.
San Jose forward Ryan Johnson v. Seattle defenders Hurtado/Marshall — Johnson is a great athletic talent up front for the visitors. He currently has less goals (1) than the team's rookie defender Ike Opara (2), but you never want to be the one that starts the hot streak (like Alvario Saborio?).
Earthquakes bunker-down defense v. Hopeful crowd-pleasing Seattle offense — Teams come into Qwest and sit back. It's something that the Sounders hate, but it's hard to blame. The strategy has generally worked. Steve Zakuani says scoring early is the key, while Freddie Ljungberg said it's staying patient and wearing the opponent down. We'll see if it works.
A long season generally evens things out. The good teams have enough time to rise to the top. The quick starters eventually find their true form and level out. That's what I think will happen in this one. I think Seattle is better than a 3-3-3 team and San Jose might be flattering itself with a 4-2-1 record.
Seattle's injuries are a concern however. There might be sure shakeup at center midfield and forward, considering the personnel available. Either way I expect the Sounders to control the run of play and produce the majority of the chances with some dynamic options up top.

The project will be the first in compliance with the Caño Martin Peña Master Plan. As such, it had to create new public streets and integrate the development into the existing neighborhood fabric; it did not have space for visitors or commercial parking. Parallel parking was added throughout the new public streets to meet this requirement; there was not enough water pressure in the area to supply the project. Potable water cisterns were added to meet the required pressure; the site required environmental remediation.
An innovative system called Cupolex was used to ventilate below the slab to vent risers that lead to the roof. To reduce energy consumption by the buildings' high-efficiency cooling systems, the project uses low-e glass and insulated windows instead of the typical economical window used for affordable housing. Rooftops sport photovoltaic solar panels to offset traditional electricity costs and minimize the community's environmental footprint.
Renaissance Square is an excellent addition to the community.


So, I'm a big fan of Justin Timberlake's. Lately, it's been more for his comedic timing than his singing because it's been SO LONG since he put something out. That's why I was pretty excited around the release of his new CD, 20/20 Experience on March 19! Let's face it, he's a triple threat,singer, actor, and cutie. That totally counts. He also shares a wedding anniversary date with me, so at this point in time he can do no wrong. None.
I went to Wal-Mart today to pick up the actual CD (no downloads for me this time, because I want to be able to take it with me in the car!) and I was a little bummed to see that there were only 10 tracks on the back. However, upon immediately opening the CD and popping it into my player, I didn't mind as much. Every single song is surrounded by a great beat and great lyrics (even if there are a couple of swear words in them – yes, I'm a bit of a prude, and still blush easily at swear words.) and had me doing the driver seat dancing that you only see on the highway. Yep, I don't mind dancing in my car. Never have, never will.
While I do love the track Suit & Tie, I happen to be drawn to Don't Hold The Wall, because I'm literally that person that does not need any persuasion to get out on the dance floor. I love moving, and a great song is all that I need to get out on the floor. I also think that the "old time" sound that he has going on with most of this CD makes it a great way to come off of hiatus. Lately, music has been so blah, that it's nice to know what artists are saying. I love his homage to the music of yesteryear, and the tiny details that he uses. Horns, the CD that looks like vinyl, and his use of tuxedoes in his photos in the CD booklet. I love the look of the CD.
This CD is definitely grown up Justin. We know he's married, he's grown into adulthood (and quite handsomely I must add.) While I know that I'd be the mom who wouldn't let her child listen to this at the moment (remember, I'm sort of a prude) this is a PERFECT CD for Mr. Houseful and I to listen to while on a date night, or nights. Ahem.
I remember when Justin Timberlake was with N'Sync and when he wore a blue jean matching outfit with a former girlfriend. I loved him then, and I love him now. The adult Justin is fantastic, and this CD has not had me skip one single song so far. I pretty sure I could get used to this type of music. Easily. I do have to say that I am pretty impressed with the sound effects he has sprinkled throughout his tracks. Especially in the song Spaceship Coupe. Just take a listen to it.

The platter of culture: the cultural variety of india
Mitrajit December 11, 2013
When it comes to the music and movies of India hardly any other country can ever throw a challenge, except maybe for the United States in the amount of diversity that is served on a platter here. When it comes to the context of movies and India's so called soft power, many people may have a preconceived notion about Bollywood being the only film industry which involves a lot of larger than life elements. However in India there is a lot of cultural difference when it comes to the movies, music and even dancing forms.

In the context of movies there is a sharp difference when it comes to the main stream Bollywood films as it typically dominates the northern and eastern parts of India. However, the funny part is that in the context of Eastern India, the culturally rich states of Bengal, Orissa and Assam have their own film culture, especially Bengal. Boasting of master class world level directors such as Academy winner for life time achievement Satyajit Ray and also Hrithik Ghatak amongst the few in Bollywood, as the film industry is colloquially known here.
Now down south, the style of film making is absolutely different, it banks on stronger emotion often based on emotions of aggression or revenge. The dance moves are also more vibrant with the fast beats down south, which have a flavour typical catering to the local needs. Other places like Maharashtra in India, though, may be home to Bollywood but it has a strong Marathi film making fraternity there as well. It has also bagged several national awards in various categories on their own right as much like the Bengal Film fraternity.
When it comes to the context of music and dance, it is even more varied as each of them has their own identity. In Bengal you find three popular forms ranging from the compositions of world famous poet Rabindra Nath Tagore to Nazrul and even folklore or religious songs. Other places too have their own style of music, with south India specializing in Carnatic music. When you travel north east you find a special kind of musical feel connecting to the mountain and the spirit of the people out there.
Therefore when you talk of cultural difference, undoubtedly one of the most important contexts of India is the sheer amount of variety that you get here.

Q: How can I store the results of permutation in a 2D array? I need help writing this code to get the permutation of numbers.
I need to store all the permutations in a 2D array.
After output of the permutation, I then need to process 30 percent of the permutations in one method an the the rest in another method.
My code:

public class Permutation {

* @param args the command line arguments
*/

  void printArray(int []a) {
    for (int i = 0; i< a.length; i++) {
      System.out.print(a[i]+" ");
    }

    System.out.println("");
  }

  void permute(int []a,int k ) {
    if(k==a.length)
      printArray(a);
    else
      for (int i = k; i< a.length; i++) {
        int temp=a[k];
        a[k]=a[i];
        a[i]=temp;
        permute(a,k+1);
        temp=a[k];
        a[k]=a[i];
        a[i]=temp;
      }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Permutation p=new Permutation();

    int a[]={1,2,3,4,5,6};
    p.permute(a, 2);

Typhoon Haishen hits South Korea after lashing Japan - The Washington Post
"TOKYO — A typhoon hit South Korea's second-largest city on Monday, hours after the storm skirted southwestern Japan, where it carved a trail of destruction and left four people missing.
Typhoon Haishen struck the Korean Peninsula in the Ulsan area, just north of the large port city of Busan, local media reported.
Earlier, a landslide swept a building into a river, and half a million homes lost power, as Haishen battered southwestern Japan. Four people were missing in Miyazaki prefecture on the island of Kyushu following the landslide, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing officials.
Haishen is the second major storm to hit the region in a week and is bringing sustained winds of up to 90 miles an hour, devastating crops, disrupting travel and bringing heavy rains to a region vulnerable to flooding and landslides.
At least 37 people were injured in Japan's southwestern islands, NHK said, including a woman who fell down a flight of stairs in the dark and four people who sustained cuts after the glass windows of an evacuation center were blown in.
Around 580 domestic flights were canceled in southwestern Japan and Shinkansen bullet train services were suspended in the region.
Almost 2 million people had been ordered to evacuate the area, which was still recovering from heavy rains and flooding in July that killed 83 people, Reuters reported.
But many emergency shelters are accepting fewer people and turning away evacuees to prevent coronavirus infections, NHK reported.
Typhoon Haishen, which means "sea god" in Chinese, comes just days after Typhoon Maysak followed a similar path through southwestern Japan and onto the Korean Peninsula, leaving at least two people dead.
In South Korea, the Ministry of Interior and Safety said on Monday that nearly 1,000 people had evacuated out of the path of Haishen. In Busan, a city of 3.4 million, traffic lights collapsed, signboards were ripped off and roads shut down due to strong winds and heavy rain.
In North Korea, state television aired live footage of flooded streets in the southeastern province of Kangwon early Monday, and said coastal residents in the area had been evacuated out of the storm's path.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un toured coastal areas hit by Maysak on Sunday, and ordered party members to join the recovery effort, Korea Central News Agency reported. More than 1,000 homes were destroyed by Maysak, state media reported, with dozens of casualties.
But recriminations have already begun in North Korea over the damage caused by Maysak.
Kim dismissed the party chief of South Hamgyong province on Sunday, while the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said party officials in the coastal city of Wonsan would be "gravely punished" for failing to follow orders and prevent the damage.
North Korea's economy is already reeling under sanctions and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Concerns are rising that this summer's storms and floods could destroy crops in the vulnerable agriculture sector and cause food shortages.
Last week, a cargo ship carrying 43 crew members and 5,800 cows capsized off the southwest of Japan during Typhoon Maysak. Two people were rescued, and one body was recovered, but search operations have now been halted because of Haishen.
Akiko Kashiwagi in Tokyo contributed to this report."


Partial stroke test is one of the viable means to check mechanical integrity of Final Element of Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) loop. Generally, end users struggle on question of credit of PST for improvement in SIL (Safety Integrity Level).
IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 define diagnostic coverage factors (DCF), but do not provide a prescriptive way to estimate the number applied in real process applications.
Diagnostic coverage (DC) as defined in IEC 61511 is ratio of the detected failure rate to the total failure rate of the component or subsystem as detected by diagnostic tests. Diagnostic coverage does not include any faults detected by proof tests.
For safety applications the diagnostic coverage is typically applied to the safe and dangerous failures of a component or subsystem. For example, the diagnostic coverage for the dangerous failures of a component or subsystem is DC = λDD / λDT , where λDD is the dangerous detected failure rate and λDT is the total dangerous failure rate (Dangerous Detected and Dangerous Undetected).
Note: λDU is Dangerous undetected failure rate. PST is partial stroke test and FST is full stroke test.
The diagnostic coverage factor is a function of applications, process fluid, physical properties of fluid, operation history, maintenance records, environmental conditions, test philosophy, etc. A complete valve assembly needs to be considered in order to find the failure mode effect and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) to help determine type of failures, which can be established by a partial stroke test.
However, although a 70% coverage factor is very common and used by various consultants and engineering companies, it has to be evaluated in light of the application. If the valve is fully open during normal operation, then partial stroke tests will not examine for a tight shut off.
For a fully open valve during normal operation when the process fluid is such that it starts coagulating or polymerizing at the valve seat, partial stroke tests will not detect it. The type of service, dirty or clean, will also affect the DC factor. If fluid is flammable or toxic and tight shut off is a must, then the DC factor by partial stroke will go quite low.
As a manufacturer, Emerson will restrict the DC factor to a maximum of 70%, but depending upon the application specifics, it can go lower. Take a look at this typical PFDavg calculation for a better understanding of the diagnostics coverage factor effect.
Consultants generally recommend that the DC factor should be between 70 -80%, but they direct customers towards process and application related guides before making a final decision.
Using the above information, a suitable FMEDA report can be prepared for individual applications. It can provide a better guide for selecting proper DC numbers for comparison of the numbers that are based on mechanical components or theoretical generic numbers.
Generally, in the "realization phase" of the safety life cycle, after selecting the technology and architecture, the test frequency needs to be established. During this time, the FMEDA exercise will provide the DCF number, which can then be used to determine the test frequencies (offline or online).
From Jim: Visit the Digital Valve Controllers area on Emerson.com for more on their use in safety instrumented systems. You can also connect and interact with process safety experts in the Control & Safety Systems group on Emerson.com.

Philosophy deals with some of the most enduring and challenging problems and with the attempts we have made to solve them.
The following questions are typical: What do we know and how do we know it? Do we project our values onto the world or find them there? Do we invent mathematical truths or discover them? Are we responsible for what we do, or are we helpless victims of our genetic endowment, environment, and upbringing? How can we justify our judgments about the merits of novels, paintings, poems, films, and symphonies? Are we complex animals or simplified angels, minds or molecules? What are goodness, truth, and beauty? Is there anything in the world besides matter in motion?
These questions are examined in most of the philosophy department's courses, but not all courses examine them in the same way or presuppose the same degree of sophistication. The number of a course is a good guide to its intended level. The 200-level courses are intended for sophomores, 300-level courses for juniors, and 400-level courses for seniors. A qualified student, however, may gain admission to a course of any level by consent of the instructor.
Courses of interest to students of philosophy are also taught in the political science and mathematics departments in classical political philosophy, modern political philosophy, Hegel and Marx, judgment, and mathematical logic.
Some students study philosophy together with another subject, such as religion, mathematics, literature, political science, or biology. Students who wish to include philosophy in an interdisciplinary major are required to take Logic, Introduction to Philosophy, and four other philosophy courses (besides the senior thesis), to be chosen in consultation with an adviser in the philosophy department.

Tail.py
=======

This is a small `tail` like program that should be system independent (should work on Windows, Linux and Mac).

Currently it simply outputs last line of file and observes the file continuously until your press `CTRL+C`.

Usage
-----
```bash
tail.py your_file.log
```

Note. The scripts where tested on Python 2.6 and should work on any above.

If it doesn't work for you - please file a bug.

Why this script?
----------------

Because when you redirect output on Windows command line to a file you will NOT be able to observer it's output. Probably because flushing issues.

Here are some [other ways to observer file on Windows](http://www.stackify.com/11-ways-to-tail-a-log-file-on-windows-unix/) (note that I tested most of them and they didn't work for redirected output).

Q: String or binary data would be truncated with CONVERT function I've been trying to make an insert query to SQL Server using PHP PDO but getting an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException:
  String or binary data would be truncated.

I am using PDO driver for connection and trying to make a prepared statement. My login and password data are stored as Binary in the database table so I have to run the query with the CONVERT function it looks like this:
$status = DB::query("user",
    "INSERT INTO dbo.acctable (id,password,accounttype,birthdate,email)
       VALUES ((CONVERT(binary, :loginid)), (CONVERT(binary, :pass)),
      :acctype, :bdate, :email)",
    [
    "loginid" => 'testuser',
    "pass" => '123456',
    "email" => "testemail@gmail.com",
    "acctype" => "0",
    "bdate" => "1/01/1950"
]);

However I can run this query without any error in a static way like this:
$status = DB::query("user",
    "INSERT INTO dbo.acctable(id,password,accounttype,birthdate,email)
       VALUES ((CONVERT(binary, 'testuser')), (CONVERT(binary, '123456')),
      :acctype, :bdate, :email)",
    [
    "email" => "testemail@gmail.com",
    "acctype" => "0",
    "bdate" => "1/01/1950"
]);

My DB::query method looks like this:
public static function query($type, $query, $params = array())
{
    $statement = self::$type()->prepare($query);
    $status = $statement->execute($params);
}


Mexico's most populous state—unoriginally named the State of Mexico—goes to the polls today to elect its next governor. Much is at stake for President Enrique Pena Nieto's centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI); a loss today will boost his rival's chances of security victory in next year's presidential election.
Besides being considered a bellwether for the 2018 national vote, Sunday's election will also have substantial implications for the PRI. The party has controlled the State of Mexico for almost nine decades and won the 2011 election with over 61% of the vote—losing it deal a serious blow to the PRI's reputation.
This year's election will be closely contested. Recent polls suggest a neck-and-neck race between the incumbent Alfredo del Mazo and Delfina Gomez from the leftist MORENA party.
PRI's declining popularity stems from a failure to deal with rampant corruption, soaring homicide rates and slowing economic growth. If MORENA capitalises on these issues on Sunday, it will secure leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a populist, favourite status for next year's presidential election.


The University of Brighton's approach to the Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) is based on four key principles: policy, processes, pedagogy and partnerships. It is embedded into considerations of the student experience informed by an understanding of blended learning environments (Garrison & Vaughan 2008) and pedagogy (Sambell et al 2012).
The Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT) and the Learning Technology Advisors (LTAs) in Information Services have worked in partnership to take EMA forward via the Blended Learning SubCommittee. Consequently e-only Submission for all text-based assessments became policy in 2013, with eFeedback strongly encouraged. EMA processes are becoming embedded in practice, in line with other organisations (Ferrell, 2014; Newland et al, 2013), with eSubmission rising 23% in the last year and an increasing proportion of assessments given eFeedback. Institutional focus is now shifting to increasing connectivity between systems, and supporting the development of eMarking and eFeedback, through consultation with a wide range of partners including teams from Information Services, quality assurance, student records, academic and administrative staff, and the Students' Union.
i) The EMA workflow has been developed in consultation with the Quality Assurance team to represent the full range of activities that constitute and contextualise EMA, from programme approval to archiving, and from staff development to student learning activities. This allows better planning for the development and integration of digital, paper-based and face-to-face activities, for instance highlighting the importance of systems integration, and identifying activities such as agreeing marks which may be more effective in a face-to-face environment.
ii) Pilot studies using eFeedback revealed that implementation is technologically straightforward, but that the new online marking environment requires the development of new marking practices. In response the CLT and LTAs developed guidance materials in collaboration with academic and administrative staff. These covered topics such as managing second marking and external examining, and giving consistent quantities and types of eFeedback. Further work on this includes a pilot for planning eFeedback involving student consultation.
There will be a twitter hashtag for participants to post comments on the key challenges encountered in their own institutions in working with partners on EMA. These and any questions will be discussed in the final 5 minutes of the session.
