So an alien walks into a bar, says "6EQUJ5"
I love this image of a radio signal reading found on Futility Closet, mostly because it belongs in a movie:
As the post explains, this was a signal seen by astronomer Jerry Ehman, coming from Sagittarius in 1977, but never replicated.

Health Numbers in Context
As a continuation of this project, we've just finished a second health visualization (also built with Processing) using GE's data. Like the first round, we started with ~6 million patient records from their "MQIC" database. Using the software, you input gender, age range, height/weight (to calculate BMI), and smoking status. Based on the selections it shows you the number of people in the database that match those settings, and the percentages that have been diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or have had a stroke:
For people reading the site because they're interested in visualization (I guess that's all of you, except for mom, who is just trying to figure out what I'm up to), some inside baseball:
On the interaction side, the main objective here was to make it easy to move around the interface as quickly as possible. The rows are shown in succession so that the interface can teach itself, but we also provide a reset button so that you can return to the starting point. Once the rows are visible, though, it's easy to move laterally and make changes to the settings (swapping between age ranges, for instance).
One irony of making the data accessible this way is that most users — after looking up their own numbers — will then try as many different possibilities, in a quick hunt for the extremes. How high do the percentages go? If I select bizarre values, what happens at the edges? Normally, you don't have to spend as much time on these 1% cases, and it would be alright for things to be a little weird when truly odd values are entered (300 lb. people who are 4′ tall, smokers, and age 75 and over). But in this case, a lot more time has to be spent making sure things work. So while most of the time the percentages at the top are in the 5-15% range, I had to write code so that when one category shoots up to 50%, the other bars in the chart scale down in proportion.
Another aspect of the interface is the body mass index calculator. Normally a BMI chart looks something like this, a large two-dimensional plot that would otherwise use up half of the interface. By using a little interaction, we can make a simpler chart that dynamically updates itself based on the current height or weight settings. Also, because the ranges have (mathematically) hard edges, we're showing that upper and lower bound of the range so that it's more apparent. Otherwise, a 5'8″ person steps from 164 to 165 lbs to find themselves suddenly overweight. In reality, the boundaries are more fuzzy, which would be taken into account by a doctor. But with the software, we instead have to be clear about the way the logic is working.
(Note that the height and weight are only used to calculate a BMI range — it's not pulling individuals from the database who are 5'8″ and 160 lbs, it's pulling people from the "normal" BMI range.)
For the statistically (or at least numerically) inclined, there are also some interesting quirks that can be found, like a situation or two where health risk would be expected to go up, but in fact they go down (I'll leave you to find them yourself). This is not a bug. We're not doing any sort of complex math here to evaluate actual risk, the software is just a matching game with individuals in the database. These cases in particular show up when there are only a few thousand individuals, say 2,000 out of the full 6 million records. The number of people in these edge cases is practically a rounding error, which means that we can't make sound conclusions with them. As armchair doctor-scientist, it's also interesting to speculate as to what might be happening in such cases, and how other factors may come into play.

Pirates of Statistics
Article from the New York Times a bit ago, covering R, everyone's favorite stats package:
R is also the name of a popular programming language used by a growing number of data analysts inside corporations and academia. It is becoming their lingua franca partly because data mining has entered a golden age, whether being used to set ad prices, find new drugs more quickly or fine-tune financial models. Companies as diverse as Google, Pfizer, Merck, Bank of America, the InterContinental Hotels Group and Shell use it.
R is also open source, another focus of the article, which includes quoted gems such as this one from commercial competitor SAS:
"I think it addresses a niche market for high-end data analysts that want free, readily available code," said Anne H. Milley, director of technology product marketing at SAS. She adds, "We have customers who build engines for aircraft. I am happy they are not using freeware when I get on a jet."
Pure gold: free software is scary software! And freeware? Is she trying to conflate R with free software downloads from CNET?
Truth be told, I don't think I'd want to be on a plane that used a jet engine designed or built with SAS (or even R, for that matter). Does she know what her product does? (A hint: It's a statistics package. You might analyze the engine with it, but you don't use it for design or construction.)
For those less familiar with the project, some examples:
…companies like Google and Pfizer say they use the software for just about anything they can. Google, for example, taps R for help understanding trends in ad pricing and for illuminating patterns in the search data it collects. Pfizer has created customized packages for R to let its scientists manipulate their own data during nonclinical drug studies rather than send the information off to a statistician.
At any rate, many congratulations to Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka, the original creators, for their success. It's a wonderful thing that they're making enough of a rumpus that a stats package is being covered in a mainstream newspaper.
Arrrr!

Hide the bipolar data, here comes bioinformatics!
I was fascinated a few weeks ago to receive this email from the Genome-announce list at UCSC:
Last week the National Institutes of Health (NIH) modified their policy for posting and accessing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data contained in NIH databases. They have removed public access to aggregate genotype GWAS data in response to the publication of new statistical techniques for analyzing dense genomic information that make it possible to infer the group assignment (case vs. control) of an individual DNA sample under certain circumstances. The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium in the UK and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston have also removed aggregate data from public availability. Consequently, UCSC has removed the "NIMH Bipolar" and "Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium" data sets from our Genome Browser site.
The ingredients for a genome-wide association study are a few hundred people, and a list of what genetic letter (A, C, G, or T) is found at a few hundred specific locations in the DNA of each of those people. Such data is then correlated to whether individuals have a particular disease, and using the correlation, it's possible to sometimes localize what part of the genome is responsible for the disease.
Of course, the diseases might be of a sensitive nature (e.g. bipolar disorder), so when such data is made publicly available, it's done in a manner that protects the privacy of the individuals in the data set. What this message means is that a bioinformatics method has been developed that undermines those privacy protections. An amazing bit of statistics!
This made me curious about what led to such a result, so with a little digging, I found this press release, which describes the work:
A team of investigators led by scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) have found a way to identify possible suspects at crime scenes using only a small amount of DNA, even if it is mixed with hundreds of other genetic fingerprints.
Using genotyping microarrays, the scientists were able to identify an individual's DNA from within a mix of DNA samples, even if that individual represented less than 0.1 percent of the total mix, or less than one part per thousand. They were able to do this even when the mix of DNA included more than 200 individual DNA samples.
The discovery could help police investigators better identify possible suspects, even when dozens of people over time have been at a crime scene. It also could help reassess previous crime scene evidence, and it could have other uses in various genetic studies and in statistical analysis.
So the CSI folks have screwed it up for the bipolar folks. The titillatingly-titled "Resolving Individuals Contributing Trace Amounts of DNA to Highly Complex Mixtures Using High-Density SNP Genotyping Microarrays" can be found at PLoS Genetics, and a PDF describing the the policy changes is on the NIH's site for Genome-Wide Association Studies. The PDF provides a much more thorough explanation of what association studies are, in case you're looking for something better than my cartoon version described above.
Links to much more coverage can be found here, which includes major journals (Nature) and mainstream media outlets (LA Times, Financial Times) weighing in on the research. (It's always funny to see how news outlets respond to this sort of thing—the Financial Times talk about the positive side, the LA Times focuses exclusively on the negative.) A discussion about the implications of the study can also be found on the PLoS site, with further background from the study's primary author.
Science presents such fascinating contradictions. A potentially helpful advance that undermines another area of research. The breakthrough that opens a Pandora's Box. It's probably rare to see such a direct contradiction (that's not heavily politicized like, say, stem cell research), but the social and societal impact is undoubtedly one of the things I love most about genetics in particular.

Skills as Numbers
BusinessWeek has an excerpt of Numerati, a book about the fabled monks of data mining (publishers weekly calls them "entrepreneurial mathematicians") who are sifting through the personal data we create every day.
Picture an IBM manager who gets an assignment to send a team of five to set up a call center in Manila. She sits down at the computer and fills out a form. It's almost like booking a vacation online. She puts in the dates and clicks on menus to describe the job and the skills needed. Perhaps she stipulates the ideal budget range. The results come back, recommending a particular team. All the skills are represented. Maybe three of the five people have a history of working together smoothly. They all have passports and live near airports with direct flights to Manila. One of them even speaks Tagalog.
Everything looks fine, except for one line that's highlighted in red. The budget. It's $40,000 over! The manager sees that the computer architect on the team is a veritable luminary, a guy who gets written up in the trade press. Sure, he's a 98.7% fit for the job, but he costs $1,000 an hour. It's as if she shopped for a weekend getaway in Paris and wound up with a penthouse suite at the Ritz.
Hmmm. The manager asks the system for a cheaper architect. New options come back. One is a new 29-year-old consultant based in India who costs only $85 per hour. That would certainly patch the hole in the budget. Unfortunately, he's only a 69% fit for the job. Still, he can handle it, according to the computer, if he gets two weeks of training. Can the job be delayed?
This is management in a world run by Numerati.
I'm highly skeptical of management (a fundamentally human activity) being distilled to numbers in this manner. Unless, of course, the managers are that poor at doing their job. And further, what's the point of the manager if they're spending most of their time filling out the vacation form-style work order? (Filling out tedious year-end reviews, no doubt.) Perhaps it should be an indication that the company is simply too large:
As IBM sees it, the company has little choice. The workforce is too big, the world too vast and complicated for managers to get a grip on their workers the old-fashioned way—by talking to people who know people who know people.
Then we descend (ascend?) into the rah-rah of today's global economy:
Word of mouth is too foggy and slow for the global economy. Personal connections are too constricted. Managers need the zip of automation to unearth a consultant in New Delhi, just the way a generation ago they located a shipment of condensers in Chicago. For this to work, the consultant—just like the condensers—must be represented as a series of numbers.
I say rah-rah because how else can you put refrigeration equipment parts in the same sentence as a living, breathing person with a mind, free will and a life.
And while I don't think I agree with this particular thesis, the book as a whole looks like an interesting survey of efforts in this area. Time to finish my backlog of Summer reading so I can order more books…

Derek Jeter Probably Didn't Need To Jump To Throw That Guy Out
Derek Jeter vs. Objective Reality is an entertaining article from Slate regarding a study by Shane T. Jensen at the Wharton School. Nate DiMeo writes:
The take-away from the study, which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, was that Mr. Jeter (despite his three Gold Gloves and balletic leaping throws) is the worst-fielding shortstop in the game.
The New York press was unhappy, but the stats-minded baseball types (Sabermetricians) weren't that impressed. DiMeo continues:
Mostly, though, the paper didn't provoke much intrigue because Jeter's badness is already an axiom of [Sabermetric literature]. In fact, debunking the conventional wisdom about the Yankee captain's fielding prowess has become a standard method of proving the validity of a new fielding statistic. That places Derek Jeter at the frontier of new baseball research.
Well put. Mr. Jeter defended himself by saying:
"Maybe it was a computer glitch"
What I like about the article, aside from a objective and quantitative reason to dislike Jeter (I already have a quantity of subjective reasons) is how the article frames the issue in the broader sports statistics debate. It nicely covers this new piece of information as a microcosm of the struggle between sabermetricians and traditional baseball types, while essentially poking fun at both: the total refusal of the traditional side to buy into the numbers, and the schadenfreude of the geeks going after Jeter since he's the one who gets the girls. (The article is thankfully not as trite as that, but you get the idea.)
I'm also biased since the metric in the paper places Pokey Reese, one of my favorite Red Sox players of 2004 as #11 amongst second basemen between 2000-2005.
And of course, The Onion does it better:
Experts: 'Derek Jeter Probably Didn't Need To Jump To Throw That Guy Out'
BRISTOL, CT—Baseball experts agreed Sunday that Derek Jeter, who fielded a routine ground ball during a regular-season game in which the Yankees were leading by five runs and then threw it to first base using one of his signature leaps, did not have to do that to record the out. "If it had been a hard-hit grounder in the hole or even a slow dribbler he had to charge, that would've been one thing," analyst John Kruk said during a broadcast of Baseball Tonight. "But when it's hit right to him by [Devil Rays first-baseman] Greg Norton, a guy who has no stolen bases and is still suffering the effects of a hamstring injury sustained earlier this year… Well, that's a different story." Jeter threw out Norton by 15 feet and pumped his fist in celebration at the end of the play.
In other news, I can't believe I just put a picture of Jeter on my site.

Schneier, Terrorists and Accuracy
Some thoughtful comments passed along by Alex Hutton regarding the last post:
Part of the problem with point technology solutions is in the policies of implementation. IMHO, we undervalue the subject matter expert, or operate as a denigrated bureaucracy which does not allow the subject matter expert the flexibility to make decisions. When that happens, the decision is left to technology (and as you point out, no technology is a perfect decision maker).
I thought it was apropos that you brought in the Schneier example. I've been very much involved in a parallel thought process in the same industry as he, and we (my partner and I) are coming to a solution that attempts to balance technology, point human decision, and the bureaucracy within which they operate.
If you believe the Bayesians, then the right Bayesian network mimics the way the brain processes qualitative information to create a belief (or in the terms of Bayesians, a probability statement used to make a decision). As such, the current way we use the technology (that policy of implementation, above) is faulty because it minimizes that "Human Computational Engine" for a relatively unsophisticated, unthinking technology. That's not to say that technologies like facial recognition are worthless – computational engines, even less magic ones that aren't 99.99% accurate, are valid pieces of prior information (data).
Now in the same way, Human Computational Engines are also less than perfectly accurate. In fact, they are not at all guaranteed to work the same way twice – even by the same person unless that person is using framework to provide rigor, rationality, and consistency in analysis.
So ideally, in physical security (or information security where Schneier and I come from) the imperfect computer detection engine is combined with a good Bayesian network and well trained/educated/experienced subject matter experts to create a more accurate probability statement around terrorist/non-terrorist – one that at least is better at identifying cases where more information is needed before a person is prevented from flying, searched and detained. While this method, too, would not be 100% infallible (no solution will ever be), it would create a more accurate means of detection by utilizing the best of the human computational engine.
I believe the Bayesians, just 99.99% of the time.

The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source software toolkit for performing registration and segmentation. Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying data found in digitally sampled representations. Typically the sampled representation is an image acquired from such medical instrumentation as CT or MRI scanners. Registration is the task of aligning or developing correspondences between data. For example, in the medical environment, a CT scan may be registered with a MRI scan in order to combine the information contained in both.
Role in NAMIC
ITK is a core software component used by major applications such as Slicer.
Numerous advanced image analysis methods have been contributed to ITK by members of NA-MIC. Many of those contributions have been featured in articles that are referenced in NA-MIC's Publications Database.
Typical Usage
ITK is a toolkit, meaning that there is no application per se. Rather, the developer uses ITK to build applications by assembling the many classes available in the toolkit.
ITK is written in C++ but has bindings for Java, Python and TCL. These bindings are produced automatically during the software build process using the CableSWIG software system. Java, Python and Tcl are powerful languages for rapid software development and provide many modules for creating applications (GUI builder tools, numerics packages, etc.).
ITK runs on most Unix, Linux and Windows platforms. See ITK Platform Suppport for an up-to-date list.
Software Dependencies
All platforms require CMake to build. CMake is a cross-platform software build tool. It uses hardware, compiler and operating system neutral configuration files to generate Makefiles, workspaces or projects particular to a particular development environment, so developers can use standard development tools on their target platform.
Documentation, Tutorials and Examples
A complete, online PDF Software Guide is available. Printed books can be purchased from Kitware or through Amazon.com. The theory book Insight into Images: Principles and Practice for Segmentation, Registration, and Image Analysisis is available from AK Peters and Amazon.com.
Installing ITK using the online Tutorial Getting Started I. This tutorial includes how to download, configure and install ITK, as well as how to run the first minimal examples.
On-line manual pages (documenting individual ITK classes and their methods) are also available.
File:ITKExercises.tgz associated with Dec9-10 Boston NAMIC Workshop.
File Formats Supported
ITK reads and writes the following file formats: png, jpeg, tiff, bmp, nrrd, meta, analyze, DICOM, GIPL.
Additionally, ITK reads the following formats: GE Signa, Siemens Vision, IPL.
ITK uses CVS to manage the source code. The ITK cvs repository is online.
Size of Community
There are over 800 subscribers to the Insight-users mailing list.
The Insight Copyright is an open-source, Berkely-style license. It allows unrestricted use, including use in commercial products. (The only exceptions are software modules found in the patented software directory.)

Online Computer Library Center
Libraries used to be their own little kingdoms of knowledge. If you needed to research something, you'd go to the library and hope that they had what you were looking for. If they didn't, you were out of luck. The Internet has changed everything. Now we live in a world where our libraries are interconnected and information resources can be shared instantly between institutions. And even there is a resource that can't be shared electronically, you can track it down instantly. A big reason that this is possible is Dublin, OH based Online Computer Library Center. They started in 1967 as "a regional computer system for 54 Ohio colleges;" however, they have since grown to serving "more than 71,000 libraries of all types in the U.S. and 112 countries and territories around the world." They're better known as the OCLC, and they've very much an Information Technology focused non-profit.
You Down with OCLC?
OCLC's vision is very simple: "The world's libraries. Connected." They do this through WorldCat (a global network of library content and services), a Membership Association, a wide array of Products and Services, Support and Training, and Programs and Research. Basically anything that helps libraries do their job better by networking with other libraries is OCLC's realm. If you're into Information Science, then this is the place to be. That's also true because OCLC has been named by Computerworld as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in IT for the past 4 years, which is why you should check out their Careers page and job postings. You'll want to check out jobs like Training and Support Coordinator (Washington, DC) and Software Engineer (Dublin, OH) among others. You can apply online, so get to it!

It's finally happening. The LARP I've been wanting to bring to Pi-Con for three years.
When Kate Farb-Johnson first asked me if I wanted to run LARPs at Pi-Con two years ago, I immediately thought of Time Travel Review Board. It's easy for both experienced LARPers and total newbies to get into, and it's low-commitment: horde players don't need to spend the entire time there if they don't want to. Thus, it's very well-suited to a diverse convention like Pi-Con.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to make TTRB happen due to hotel restrictions about taping things to the wall. This year, those restrictions have been relaxed to an extent that will finally allow this game to run.
So if you'd like to play Time Travel Review Board, please come check it out at 6Pi-Con!

Answering the Biggest Questions About
Windows 7 End of Service
Answering the Biggest Questions About Windows 7 End of Service
Dan Ortman
Publisher Advisory
On January 14th, 2020, Windows 7's end of service will officially begin. Following this date, Windows 7 will no longer be supported on laptops, desktops, and many other devices – meaning no more bug fixes, and no more critical support updates. This is a solemn moment for many people and organizations that deploy Windows 7 – despite being over a decade old, it's the second most popular version of Windows on the market, with 37 percent of Windows devices running Windows 7 at the end of 2018.
With more than a billion Windows users in the world, this translates into hundreds of millions of people being effected by Windows 7 end of service. To fully understand the risks and impact associated with Windows 7 end of service, let's take a look at some frequently asked questions.
What Does Windows 7 EoS Mean For Your Organization?
When Windows 7 end of service occurs, Microsoft will cease to provide support to those who continue to run the operating system. This means that if your organization encounters any bugs or security holes, they will be unable to call on Microsoft for assistance without purchasing extended support. Instead, Microsoft will shift resources to their existing product offerings such as Microsoft 365 and Windows 10. This will apply to every device, including PCs, tablets, and laptops, that run most editions of Windows 7, including Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Ultimate.
However, some specialized systems – such as gas pumps and ATMs that run Windows 7 Embedded – will continue to receive support following Windows 7's official end of service. To verify any details about when the end of service will occur for specific versions of Windows 7, consult Microsoft's product lifecycle search tool.
What Should I Expect When Windows 7 Support Ends?
When Windows 7 support ends, organizations should expect absolutely no official support for their entire operating system – including security patches. Organizations should also consider that many third-party developers will begin to phase out support for their Windows 7-based applications, too. As a result, many organizations will be left with little to no support for these systems at all, which can result in compatibility issues, delays in scheduling software, data loss, and costly data breaches.
However, organizations should expect a large security patch shortly before the official end of service date. This final update typically strives to patch all security holes that the Microsoft team is aware of, and ensure any last-minute bug discoveries are squashed. However, immediately after this update rolls out, hackers will know there are no more updates coming, and immediately begin working on finding exploits. With the immense popularity of Windows 7, organizations should anticipate that hackers are already readying attacks on organizations that do not upgrade in time.
Can I Still Use Windows 7 After January 2020?
Technically, yes. Short of experiencing a serious bug or security event, your Windows 7 devices will enjoy complete functionality following the official end of service date. However, it's certainly not recommended to use Windows 7 due to the gaping vulnerabilities caused by an out-of-date operating system.
If your organization can't upgrade all of their devices with a new operating system before January 2020, Microsoft will be offering extended support for Windows 7 extended support. However, this comes at a hefty financial cost and leaves you at risk for vulnerabilities caused by third-party applications that stopped supporting Windows 7.
How Much Will Extended Support Cost for Windows 7?
The charges associated with extended support depends on how long the system has been expired for, with the expense doubling every year. Here's a quick breakdown of Microsoft's pricing for Windows 7 extended support:
Between January 2020 and January 2021 – $25 per device for Windows 7 Enterprise; $50 per device for Windows 7 Pro.
Between January 2021 and January 2022 - $50 per device for Windows 7 Enterprise; $100 per device for Windows 7 Pro.
Between January 2022 and January 2023 - $100 per device for Windows 7 Enterprise; $200 per device for Windows 7 Pro.
If your organization doesn't have a firm migration plan in place yet, be aware that you may need to sign up for these updates in the short-term to ensure your network's security. Alternatively, if only a few devices running mission-critical applications need support, this pricing structure will give your IT team three additional years to find up-to-date alternatives.
How Do I Ensure Compliance After Windows 7 End of Service?
There are a few paths that will allow your organization to maintain compliance with regulations and software vendors following Windows 7 end of service. The first option is to purchase extended support directly from Microsoft, which will allow your organization to stay compliant for three more years at a significant cost. The second option is to upgrade your operating system – most organizations will choose to upgrade to Windows 10, but others may choose alternatives such as Linux or Windows 10 Virtual Desktop.
However, compliance isn't one-size-fits-all. To fully ensure compliance and get the most out of your existing and future Microsoft assets, organizations should partner with experienced consultants that understand Microsoft products and licensing. Since many organizations find Microsoft's licensing terms difficult to understand, leveraging the support of experts will ensure your organization is following the best path for Windows 7 end of service.
To consult these experts and learn more about how to prepare for Windows 7 end of service, take a look at our Microsoft Advisory Services page. Or, if you would like to speak to an expert, contact us today.
On January 14, 2020 Microsoft will end support for Windows 7, which is still one of the most widely used versions of Windows in the corporate environment. After that date, no more updates for Windows 7 will be made with no more security gaps. Read our guide to creating a detailed plan for the far-reaching impact this will have on your environment.

The Trump Administration's proposed expanded "public charge" rule would undermine access to health care, nutrition, housing, and economic security for low-income immigrant families. It would put "wealth" in front of fair access to family reunification.
TAKE ACTION NOW AGAINST TRUMP'S EXPANDED 'PUBLIC CHARGE' RULE!
We face an immediate deadline - Dec. 10 - to submit "comments" to the Public Charge rule published in the Federal Register, before a final rule will be published. Some 95,000 comments have already been submitted!

What is the Public Charge Issue?
On October 10, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed to change this long-standing policy by excluding anyone who is likely to use certain health care, nutrition or housing programs in the future. The proposed test adds specific standards for income, health, age and even English proficiency, and expands the forms of public assistance that are counted in a "public charge" determination.
If finalized, the proposal would fundamentally change who we are as a nation—transforming us from a country that welcomes people who plan to work hard and achieve a better life, to one rigged in favor of the wealthy. It would also put the health and wellbeing of millions of people at great risk and violate our core American values. How you live your life and contribute to your community should define you in this country, not how you look or how much money you have.
The proposal would make—and has already made—immigrant families afraid to seek programs that help them stay strong and productive and raise children who thrive. With about one in four children having at least one immigrant parent, this issue touches millions and is critical now and for our nation's future.
Cash assistance, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and comparable state or local programs.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Tehran Wants Gazprom to Join Iran-Oman Gas Pipeline Project - Deputy Minister
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iran is interested in Gazprom's participation in the construction of the Iran-Oman gas pipeline, Iranian Deputy Petroleum Minister and Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Ali Kardor stated in an interview with the Gazprom magazine, published on Friday.
"[NIOC and Gazprom] are considering a possibility of the joint implementation of a number of absolutely new projects, including Iran LNG, Farzad-A, and Farzad-B, North Pars. Besides, there has been huge interest in the prospects of the joint construction of Iran-Pakistan-India and Iran-Oman gas pipelines," Kardor said.
In November, Gazprom and the NIOC signed a memorandum of understanding, which opened the way to a study into the prospects of cooperation in the development of gas fields in Iran, gas transportation and monetization. Among them was a project to supply gas from Iran to India through Pakistan.
In December, Gazprom, the NIOC and Iran's Oil Industry Pension, Saving and Staff Welfare Fund signed a memorandum of understanding on the Iran liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.

The first phase of the Iran LNG project envisages the construction of two technological lines for liquefying gas with a capacity of 5.25 million tonnes per year. The second phase provides for an increase in productivity of up to 21 million tonnes per year by creating two additional processing lines.
The Iran-Oman gas pipeline project is expected to connect Iran's gas reserves with Omani consumers and LNG plants so that Oman could re-export the gas. Following the talks between Iranian and Omani officials back in February, it was reported that Iran would export 28.3 million cubic meters of gas per day to Oman through a direct pipeline, which would bypass the United Arab Emirates.

In KDE preferences when you change styles it doesn't effect GTK apps such as CinePaint. You still see the ugly Geramik GTK button style. Here's how to change that on a Debian-based distro (MediainLinux). The approach for an rpm-based distro should be similar except for using urpmi instead of apt-get.
Picking Smokey-Blue is a good choice. To change the appearance of GIMP or other GTK2 apps run gtk-theme-switch2.


It's crucial factor for coating line setup. The bigger rate required, the bigger coating line will be needed and overall costs will go up accordingly. We can also evaluate if a manual, semi-manual or full automatic technique could be applied for economical choice.
It refers to your coating technical details and number of coatings required to spray on products. It's crucial for most line setup, especially for those coatings require high temperature curing like ceramic and enamel, temperature control is very important in order to get the best effect. Some products requires two layers coating while another product requires three layers. The difference will decide how many spray booth and ovens on coating line. And the most important "price" will be different.
It includes your workshop size and internal design like height, electricity and water supply. Most of the time you need to arrange some areas for other service like warehouse, office but not only for painting line installation. For this we need to learn how much available space you have. Your workshop design file is required for final plant installation because we need to follow it to configure various pipes/tubes.
Many products like mobile phone shell has to be sprayed in clean room for guaranteed quality, any dust pollution can affect good product rate. So we must know if you have clean room ready or if we need to design based our coating line requirement. Different dust-free clean rooms are configured by different techniques.
The last important question is about waste gas/water treatment. In order to be environment frindly, strict treatment is necessary. Lots of coating fogs are harmful if we drop into atmosphere directly. Currently we can only handle waste gas treatment, for waste water, you have to contact your local company provider since they are very familiar with local governmental requirement and have all necessary equipment ready.
Have question or need coating line tech support? Feel free to contact us for solutions.

Finding the union of eastern classical inspiration and deep, encompassing electronic vibes is Zara Madani's 'Neer Bharan'. The song is the product of an experiment that took the pattern of an electronic track and placed the layers of an age old classically based bandish within the fold to create a story that's almost cinematic. With the elements of Teen Taal, the song finds its driving inspiration in the nighttime raag Baageshri stirring up a feeling of dark, delicate longing. The song in its carnal nature is a whirlwind of female sensuality and haunting temptation. The wordings derive from folklore of the subcontinent painting the moment of yearning set against the backdrop of the night's enchantment. As the lyrics flow, the song's progression is almost prowling in its search for the song's object of obsession – the alluring peeve Nand Laal – a character thematically portrayed in the vocals of Muazzam Ali Khan towards the song's resolution. A song that has an almost theatrical feel in its tale, the Eastern chant like rhythm is brought to life with the constant electronic groove by the Serbian house band and the percussive elements of the Dhol while the String Orchestra encircles the storm layering the depths of human angst in the face of Separation.


"A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing."- Henry Hazlitt.
Vocabulary is of prime concern, but what about other aspects of learning a language? Here is some good news: an improved vocabulary doles out a positive and direct impact on your ability to enhance your language proficiency. A rich vocabulary eases speaking, learning, writing and reading. Vocabulary, thus, behaves as the foundation of language.
Mastering vocabulary is a crucial factor when you land in a foreign ambience. Many out there believe that learning vocabulary is not as important as learning grammar or learning a new language, but it's a myth that needs to be debunked. Miscommunication happens when you falter in knowing appropriate words. Vocabulary, thus, plays a vital role in effective communication for any individual.
Vocabulary helps you to persuade others.
No matter what stream you study in, entrance exams are a norm for higher studies. Word power is one of the essential skills tested in all such exams. This is because your vocabulary indicates how well you can communicate in different situations and with different people. A good vocabulary is necessary to not just crack the written exams but also to score well in sections like reading comprehension and writing essays. The sense you make out of written material is greatly dependent on your understanding of the words in it.
An impressive vocabulary boosts your confidence. Communication skills is one of the core skills to succeed in personal and professional life. And being proficient in it definitely boosts one's confidence and personality. Coherent articulation helps confidently put forth our ideas and views. You will be confident going up to people with your proposals or stand up in a meeting and explain your objections.
Therefore, learning new English words or improving your English vocabulary is one of the most important stepping stones to getting success in life. Tell us if you agree with us!

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'N Roll (1981) (Repress)
*Reissued by Bellaphon on an unknown date. This is a reissue of the original 1981 LP release. Features non-remastered audio. Mastered by Interpress. Contains 10 tracks total.
Genre: Hard Rock, Pop Rock
© 1981 Bellaphon
I Love Rock-n-Roll, Joan Jett's first record with the Blackhearts, was a tougher, louder album than Bad Reputation, primarily because her new backing band gave her a more coherent sound. That dynamic, hard rock crunch is what made the title track into an international hit, but it also gives the album dimension -- not only can Jett & the Blackhearts tear up heavy glam rockers, but they also pull off the mock psychedelia of Tommy James & the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover" with aplomb. On the whole, I Love Rock-n-Roll doesn't have as many strong songs as its predecessor, but the band's muscular, gritty sound makes the album just as good as Bad Reputation.
