With all the food, time off from work and dreams of all sorts of summer fun; let's not forget what this weekend really means. This is a weekend for all Americans to REMEMBER the armed service members that have given the citizens of this nation their lives so that we can live free and enjoy backyard grilling with our family and friends. Please remember all who have given the ultimate sacrifice as well as those who have offered or are offering their lives as protection for Americans. Thank you to each member of the Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard and family members who have loved and supported our military.


This is the story of how I got a new baby brother, 50 years late.
Ever meet someone and immediately you know you've made a connection? There's chemistry, some say. Others claim it's finding something in common that binds you. I don't claim to understand. All I know for sure is that as I sat there talking to this bright young man, I wanted to know him better.
As a married woman, these particular experiences can prove a bit daunting. Fortunately, the fact that Gary is gay – and happily married to Carlos–eliminated that awkward sexual tension that can really mess up a budding friendship, never mind a marriage.
The happy couple, somewhere cool.
There was this line, from Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas In Wales, that I had sung in a few concerts, which kept running through my mind.
That is the kind of relationship I sought, without realizing it. And Gary fit right in.
Me with my younger brother; I get to boss him around.
Feel free to add others you've experienced in the Comment section below.
Have you ever had a friendship with someone whose education or income level is vastly different from yours?
Ever wish you could befriend that young college student you met the other day, but held back?
Ever sought out someone with a different sexual orientation than yours and engaged them in conversation?
As I write these out, I realize some of my favorite movies are based on these themes of crossing expected barriers.
You've undoubtedly heard "birds of a feather flock together." It's a simple metaphor that emphasizes how we are drawn to those most like us. Familiar often means safe. Comfortable.
But by limiting ourselves to the familiar, the comfortable, life becomes insular, leading often to the inevitable "us" vs "them" mindset which permeates our country today. I hope you'll give this some thought.
But let's get back to Gary. His innate kindness shown through that entire week as I watched him interact with other "campers." His musicality was truly impressive. But it was his laughter, I think, that clinched it. I loved his exuberance. He was fun. I laughed when we got together and if you've read my memoir, you know I love to laugh.
Gary, simply, would have to be my brother. My adopted brother. It was the start of something new; it was exciting. And, best of all, Gary agreed.
He calls me his "sister from another mister," while I say "brother from another mother." Together, we share absolutely no genetics at all.
Here's Gary with the aftereffects of those lobsters.
It's especially fun to think of myself as an older sister. What kind of older sister I will be, though, only time will tell.
How about you? What constraints does your culture place on friendship? Do you see any metaphorical brothers on your horizon?
For more on my take on FRIENDSHIP, I offer this link to an earlier blog post series.
Janet we are definitely tribe mates. I found my first trans friend yesterday.
Right now I'm hoping to go home from Austin's Heart Hospital after a few days of miserable pericarditis (look it up and pray you never get it!).
Chatting with staff has been a welcome diversion — a virtual world tour. One aide is an adorable mature woman from Panama, a tiny person of indigenous descent. The cleaning woman is from Croatia, complete with rich Slavic accent, masses of curly black hair and passionate engagement with life. A night aide is a quiet Mongolian who looks like a princess. Then there's the gay Filipino nurse who leaves tomorrow for a trip home to see his mother and brother (the later works in Dubai). The woman from Food Service is African American. I've seen many other people from other shores walk by in the hall. I've seen an Indian doctor and a Russian one here. (My own doctors are Chinese and Indian. My dentist from Syria.) The staff even has a few token Texans for balance.
To confirm I'm not the only one fascinated with this colorful parade, last evening I heard a flurry of excitement as a young man in white scrubs (doctor garb) walked past my door. A cluster of shift change nurses flagged him down.
"You're new!" My first day. "Where you from?" Korea. "How do you like Texas?" I look forward to having a great time here.
I'll miss this place, but not enough to stay as a patient. Maybe I'll come back as a volunteer.
Three cheers for Austin's Heart Hospital (and making you well). It sounds like a veritable UN, which must have made your stay at least more interesting. I imagine you'd have a blast there as a volunteer and hospitals, of course, need all the help they can get. Thanks for starting us off this morning. I loved meeting your various support personnel.
Janet, how lovely that you've found the brother you've always wanted (even if you didn't know it)!
I suppose cultural constraints can change over time.
I have a dear friend–we say we're twins. I'm not even sure how that started. 🙂 She's African-American, but it's not really something I think about it, except that she's had to deal with it and have "the talk" with her sons. We've known each other since college. Her husband and my husband were college roommates. My friend's husband is white, and his parents would not accept her for many years. There were some of my husband's relatives who were not happy that he was marrying a Jew.
I think it was much more difficult for my sister to come out as gay than it was for my daughter–in terms of cultural acceptance.
Hi Merril. Yes, you make such an important point: these cultural constraints do change over time. I think the research is most clear in the increase in interfaith marriages over the past forty years. I also think geographic location plays a big roll, urban vs. rural anyway. Though even here, where the population is small, we can find diversity. Lots of Libertarians among us. We also, I should add, have the largest per capita population of Buddhists in the country (per capita being the operative adjective).
Thanks for weighing in. I'd love to join you and your gym buddies one of these days (vicariously would be best).
Brothers (and sisters) can be found anywhere, at any time. So pleased you found the perfect brother!.
How very true, Darlene. You remind me of the Chief Joseph quote, "All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers." And sisters.
Same but different. I have been "adopted" by a Portuguese family since I bought a second home in the Algarve some 9 years ago. It started by just being friendly and enjoying the food in their restaurant. Then we progressed to being invited to the "matassa" or pig-killing party where I was introduced to all the village and ended up helping in the kitchen. From there, I have graduated to working in the restaurant kitchen every time I go and am about to become Tia/auntie to the chef's baby due in October. It is a wonderful way to be absorbed into a totally different community where the policeman kisses me on the cheek if he sees me walking down the street.
Thank you, Carolyn, for this great "view from the other side." I'd love to have been kissed by the local policeman the other day, instead of getting that $144 speeding ticket! Congratulations on the new niece or nephew come October.
My son and son-in- law claim that they are brothers from another mother. Very enlightening post and comments, Janet.
Thanks, Marian. And particularly thanks for tuning in while on vacation. Always good to have you.
I have a sister…met her in college…still great friends. In our younger days we looked enough alike to be real sisters, then she began to look older. Once someone asked if we were mother/daughter…I laughed, she didn't. These days we're back to sisters again. We just spent almost two weeks together…bliss.
Oh…she grew up quite poor, I didn't. No, it doesn't matter.
Thanks, Terry. And you recognize how fortunate you are to have such a friend. Isn't that just the best!
Well, if I needed another brother, Gary would certainly be in the running. He is a dear person, funny, smart and neat. I like neat. The kind where your clothes are clean and your hair is combed. I like the other kind of neat as well… the cool neat… Gary is both. Missed you at camp and loved the news that Gary had paid you a visit.
Thanks for weighing in, Susan. Didn't "neat-o" cover that second meaning?
Yes! How could I have forgotten?
Quite a story! Keep us updated on being an older sister!
Thanks, Nurken. Perhaps you'll meet at next year's 70th?
I just have to make sure to bring my copy of "At home on the Kazakh steppe" to get an autograph from the author!
Just looked it up and my birthday next year falls on a Saturday. So, big party day up here in the north woods.
Great story, Janet. Sounds like you're both lucky to have found each other. Funny, but I was just thinking of some of these themes last week, after my daughter broke her arm in gymnastics and we found ourselves in the emergency room waiting room. I had struck up a small conversation with another man who was also waiting. More accurately, he struck up a small conversation with me. This guy looked pretty rough around the edges, and I realized afterward that a part of me had judged him in some ways. I was even a bit tentative when he first started speaking to me. But he turned out to be a really nice guy, and I got something from our conversation. It made me really think about the ways in which we sometimes tend to judge others based on appearances, and filter our engagements based on assumptions, expectations, and biases. I've always preferred to think of myself as above this type of thinking, and yet, there it was, plain as day. Consciously or not, I've been guilty of sliding into the perceived safety of my own bubbles in certain ways over the years, and I realized then that this is something I need to work on.
Hi Tim. First, my very best wishes for a speedy recovery to your daughter. May she at least have the kind of cast her friends can autograph.
Alas, no. 'Not even a little hospital jello. (I told you I have some work to do) ;).
Once again, Janet, you made me laugh-out-loud. I especially got a kick out of your mom saying that Gary might very well be her "son from that night of fun." LOL! I'll have to remember that one!
Is it just me, or do you and Gary even resemble each other? Looks like you both have the same smile in your photo. So happy you found a kindred spirit, they are fun to have around.
That would be fun, Cathy, to find out we actually are related. Some day we'll have to compare genealogies. I don't even know (yet) if Gary has worked on his. Thanks for adding your voice here.
It is nice that you have found a new brother from "another mother". I supposed you have found a friend soul mate. A friend is a family we choose for ourselves.
I couldn't agree more, Thelma. And welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
Thank you Carol. It is pretty neat. I was glad to read how being enmeshed in your new culture there in Thailand has impacted members of your own family. I'm always impressed by the powerful tug that culture has on us, often without our being aware. And congrats on your expanded family. I'll have to work at finding me a sister next.

← More spinning… but just for fun.
The Bernuthsfeld Man's tunic is really a rather special affair – a very, very simple cut, but it is put together from only patches. It's not a heavily worn tunic that was patched up.
Picture from: Farke, Heidemarie. "Der Männerkittel aus Bernuthsfeld. Beobachtungen während einer Restaurierung." In Textiles in European Archaeology. Report from the 6th NESAT Symposium, 7-11th May 1996 in Borås, edited by Lise Bender Jørgensen and Christina Rinaldo, 99-106. Göteborg, 1998, p. 100.
As you can see, it's rather… patchy. The individual bits of fabric all show marks of wear from previous use, possibly in garments; there's lots of twill variations and only rather few plain weave bits. My count is 19 different fabrics, used for 43 patches. Some of them are folded double, others are used as single layer. The "cut", if you can call it that without there having been proper garment cutting, is as simple as possible.
Why that tunic looks like it does? Nobody knows – it is a singular piece (alas, like quite a few textile finds). With its patches, possibly in different colours, but at least in very different kinds of fabric, all looking old and worn, and with the very conspicuous checkered fabric #31 right on the breast in front, it would have been very obvious that this was not a "normal" member of society, though. There are a few late medieval images that show beggars dressed in very, very patched garments – so maybe this tunic was a beggar's work clothing?

This is a quick installation guide of PostgreSQL on Windows. PostgreSQL and MySQL are two of the database systems that I used for program development at home. I usually run the database servers on either FreeBSD or Linux. Recently, a project idea came up and I decided to try PostgreSQL on Windows.
"PostgreSQL is the most advanced open source database server." -- PostgreSQL: Introduction and Concepts by Bruce Momjian.
We can choose to install the PostgreSQL together with Cygwin.
The setup program needs to download packages before installing. Specify a directory to store these packages.
Select the connection method. Then pick a mirror site to download the packages.
Select the packages that you wants. Remember to select the PostgreSQL package under the Database category.
Proceed with the download and install process.
If the setup program doesn't install the packages after download, you can execute the setup.exe again. This time, select "Install from local directory". Then select the director where the packages are downloaded. Proceed to install the packages.
PostgreSQL depends on an utility package called cygipc. It provides IPC (shared memory, semaphores etc) functions.
Extract files from the package.
Check the availability of the ipc daemon installed. Then execute the daemon in background.
Before we can start the PostgreSQL server, we need to initialize a database storage area on disk.
Create the directory /usr/local/pgsql/data for storing PostgreSQL data.
Now we can start the server. Note that we need to use the -i option so that the server will listen to TCP connections. Otherwise, it just listens on Unix sockets.
We first create a new user clarence and grant it the right to create databases. Then using this user account, we create a database with Unicode encoding.
CREATE DATABASE test WITH ENCODING='UNICODE';: Create a new database test with Unicode encoding.
There is no special trick for using PostgreSQL with JDBC.
To install PL/pgSQL into a database, execute the command "createlang plpgsql dbname"


If you're like me — screenshot-mad and playing Battle for Azeroth — then you've been filling up your World of Warcraft image folders like crazy over the past few weeks. So many beautiful and striking sites to see!
And also horror beyond imagining!
Or if you're looking for a more cheery vision, you might like Little Bugbear's self-professed "favorite spot" in the expansion. What do you think? It's like the most pleasant place ever to contract malaria and swamp rot!
Not everyone is playing the new expansion, however. There are always the lower caste — the lowbies — who are making their way slowly but surely to the endgame.
Not everyone's playing World of Warcraft these days, of course. Hirku brought us this important piece of advice that has a superhero stamp of approval.
What's your favorite fantasy beastie? Assuming that you're not killing them too quickly to take a picture, the screenshot challenge this week is to show off an in-game beast or critter that amuses, delights, or captivates you for some reason.

Sometimes I like to pet a pig in fancy underwear and a crown as the sun sets…..don't judge meh!
For me, it has to be the The Filth in Secret World Legends.
More than your stereotypical creeping evil, it is the thing that crawls in your skin and destroys your mind. It, They and Them thinks and are alive, but are merely the dreams and nightmares of a greater unknown. It seeps into every thing, every wavelength, every thought. They eat stars for breakfast… and we are all made of stars.
Same for my pics, now I'm hopeful that it wasn't just a fluke and it'll work that way from now on.
Ok, Justin. I know how you feel about Dragons. They are an overused trope, blah, blah, blah. I get it.
BUT, if we are talking about my fave beasties? Then the answer is Dragons. Breathtaking and vast power never go amiss in a villain. And slaying Dragon, against all odds, is still what these fantasy games are all about. Heh.

Q: What does "\.00" in mathematica equal to? When I type in:
"\.00"

in a notebook, the frontend automatically converts it to:
" "

on the screen it seems like there is only a white space.
When I type a boolean query after the previous, but using the space bar to enter the white space:
" "== " "

Mathematica returns

Syntax::tsntxi: ".00= " is incomplete; more input is needed.

What is the meaning of \.00 in a string in Mathematica?

TRUNCHEON-wielding Russian fans wearing gum-shields and balaclavas left 19 British people in hospital after "frightening and coordinated" attacks in Marseilles last night.
Four England supporters were left in a critical condition after being battered by thugs wearing bum bags containing fighting equipment including mixed martial art gloves.
The Independent reports that Three Lions fans 'ran for their lives' after being outnumbered by Russian hooligans who were sporting black t-shirts branded with the names of club sides Lokomotiv Moscow and CSKA Moscow sides.
British police, who have no jurisdiction on foreign soil, were also caught up in the violence in their role assisting French authorities.
A UK officer provided medical assistance to the first supporter injured in the brutal attacks.
Violence also marred England's opening Euro 2016 match with Russia with hooligans even firing a flare gun into the Three Lions fans.
The major security breach comes after tournament organisers promised 'unprecedented' levels of security to protect stadiums against possible terrorist attacks.
Earlier this week, intrepid Sun reporter Ross Kempsell uncovered the woeful lack of security at the stadium by easily breaching the security perimeter.
French police have also been slammed for their heavy-handed tactics in Marseille in dealing with England fans who have been to attacks by both French and Russian gangs.
During the match last – which finished 1-1 – Russians supporters set off smoke bombs, fireworks and flares.
And when hooligans carrying weapons charged fleeing England fans – the stadium's stewards, and not the police, were left to deal with the ensuing chaos.
Speaking with Sky News, supporter Mark Leader said the Russian fans started 'smacking everyone they could'.
He said: "We had to run, jump down seats, (we) jumped over a fence, people (were) jumping 10-foot just landing on their heads and their backs just trying to get away. People just had to run.
Another fan Ian Lane, 40, described the moment the flare was thrown.
He said: "A flare was thrown at us before the Russians charged inside the stadium."
A fan who only wanted to be identified as Liam, 32, said the gum shield wearing thugs looked like they came ready to fight.
European football's governing body, UEFA, has confirmed it will investigate the violence within the stadium.
In a statement it said: "People engaging in such violent acts have no place in football'.
Whittle called on French police "to identify those involved in the troubles and deal with them appropriately and quickly".

Kevin De Bruyne has criticised Belgium manager Roberto Martinez's tactics and urged him to "find a solution" to their struggles after Friday's 3-3 draw against Mexico.
Belgium's six-game winning streak that saw them finish top of their World Cup qualifying group with a nine-point lead came to an end in the friendly with El Tri.
With the likes of Manchester City star De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Dries Mertens, Jan Vertonghen and Thibaut Courtois in the side, a lot is expected of Martinez's team in Russia next summer.
However, the disappointing start to their preparations for the tournament has worried De Bruyne, 26, who feels their tactical set up is not working with the players at Martinez's disposal.
"Mexico were just tactically better. Their system made our five defenders sit deep and we were swimming in midfield - it was five against seven," he told Het Laatste Niewus .
"Look, we still put too much on our talents. As long as we don't have a good tactical system, we will have difficulties against countries like Mexico. It's a pity that we have not yet found a solution.
"Of course we play with a system that is in principle very defensive, but it is filled with many attacking players who want the ball.
"Then you have a bit of a problem, like against Mexico. It was a match in which we had very little possession and everyone in a system that doesn't really fit. We now know that something must be changed against such teams.
"But eventually Martinez decides. I think the trainer has to find a solution so that we can avoid such situations as against Mexico in the future."
The Rode Duivels continue their preparations for the 2018 World Cup on Tuesday when they host Japan.

Обо (Старый Ветреный) — посёлок в Тенькинском районе Магаданской области России.

История
Изначально получил название Ветреный по одноимённому ручью, который в свою очередь так назвали геологи, проводившие здесь шлиховое опробование, во время которых в долине дул сильный ветер.

Был основан в 1937 году на левом берегу реки Обо между устьями ручьёв Ветреный и Журавлиный как база золотого прииска «Ветреный» и носил тоже название. Большую часть жителей составляли заключённые Теньлага. В 1957 году посёлок переименовали в Обо, а Ветреным назвали посёлок, находящийся в 12 км западнее. Оба посёлка стали относится к вновь созданному прииску «40 лет Октября».

Особенностью Обо была его крайне тяжёлая транспортная доступность. Полноценная автодорога появилась здесь только к концу 1960-х гг. В 1991 году в посёлок из Усть-Омчуга была построена новая 104-километровая дорога, так как часть старой дороги попадала в зону затопления Колымским водохранилищем.

В Обо действовали начальная школа, фельдшерский пункт, клуб, баня, магазин, столовая. Численность населения составляла около 300 человек.

В 1995 году прииск прекратил работу. Посёлок признали неперспективным, почти все жители покинули его. На 2013 год в посёлке фактически проживало 4 человека. В летнее время на период промывочного сезона сюда также заезжают старатели.

Developing a Better, Faster Diagnostic for Cryptosporidiosis
July 12, 2019 by Guest Post | 0 comments
The UA is partnering with Kerafast to license reagents that offer the opportunity for the development of a rapid, highly sensitive diagnostic test for a common and costly zoonotic disease.
Through Tech Launch Arizona, the University of Arizona is partnering with Kerafast, a Boston-based reagents company, to license reagents that offer the opportunity for the development of a rapid, highly sensitive diagnostic test for Cryptosporidiosis, the leading cause of waterborne diseases among people in the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that U.S. outbreaks of Cryptosporidiosis linked to swimming pools and water playgrounds doubled from 2014 to 2016. Image courtesy of Pixabay
Cryptosporidiosis, or Crypto, infects almost 750,000 people each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Globally in 2010, nearly 100,000 cases were fatal. The disease is of particular interest to Dr. Michael Riggs, a veterinarian and professor in the Department of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences who researches the immunobiology and molecular pathogenesis of parasitic protozoal diseases of zoonotic importance including Crypto.
The tiny bug is spread through any contact with infected feces and is frequently contracted via water sources such as mountain streams, public pools or contaminated municipal drinking water. It can be found on babies' changing tables and in the pens of newborn calves.
For its victims, Crypto creates a multitude of problems. What starts as nausea can quickly bloom into abdominal pain and full-blown diarrhea, followed by a fever and dehydration. In most instances, healthy people recover within two weeks. But for people with weakened immune systems, Crypto can be much more dangerous, causing rapid and sometimes life-threatening weight loss and dehydration.
Given the dangers of infection and how quickly the parasite can spread, early diagnosis is key in keeping Crypto under control. To that end, Riggs and UA research specialist Deborah Schaefer have developed a panel of monoclonal antibodies that have proven useful for detecting Crypto.
To maximize the impact of their work, the team has been working with Tech Launch Arizona, or TLA, the office of the UA that commercializes inventions stemming from research. As a result, the UA has licensed the first group of reagents to Kerafast, a company whose primary mission is to make unique laboratory-made research tools easily accessible to the global scientific community. Plans are to continue to add additional reagents in the future.
"Ultimately, the goal is to get this technology out into the world where it can help the most people," said Tod McCauley, senior licensing manager for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at TLA. "Kerafast will be a great partner to make that happen."
Toward Faster, More Accurate Diagnosis
Riggs' research concentrates on characterizing immune responses to Crypto – specifically on the development of recombinant vaccines, immunotherapies and drug discovery for Cryptosporidiosis – and improved methods for diagnosis.
Current means of detecting and diagnosing Crypto present challenges including cost, performance, clinical significance and assessment of co-infection with other pathogens.
In addition, the use of a wide variety of diagnostic methods and the inconsistent application of techniques makes it difficult to compare results from clinical and veterinary studies. Microscopy, for example, requires simple instrumentation and inexpensive consumables, but the process is laborious and lacks sensitivity and specificity. Molecular methods of detection such as polymerase chain reactions can be used identify the parasite at the species level, but testing for Crypto is not routine in most laboratories.
The reagents developed in Riggs' laboratory offer the opportunity for the creation of a rapid, highly sensitive diagnostic test for Crypto.
"We are now making a characterized panel of mouse monoclonal antibodies available to the community for a variety of applications including rapid, simpler diagnostic assay development, antigen characterization and immunotherapeutic development," Riggs said.
"These antibodies are a useful resource for a broad range of research and development purposes," he continued. "After years of development and characterization, we decided to make them available to others for a variety of applications which are expected to advance the field. TLA has been the perfect liaison to partner with Kerafast and allow this to happen."
McCauley says the university-industry arrangement is doing much more than getting this specific technology out into the marketplace; it represents a relationship and a pathway that will continue to serve both organizations going forward.
"We are exploring ways we can work with Kerafast long term to add additional value to particular reagents and create new research avenues for antibodies through technologies available to create customized antibody sequences."
Kerafast's Director of Business Development Matt Takvorian is likewise optimistic about the opportunity for impact.
"At Kerafast, we are committed to accelerating scientific progress by facilitating access to the unique and useful research reagents developed by academic laboratories," Takvorian said. "We are excited to partner with the Riggs lab to make these antibodies more easily available to scientists worldwide to advance research toward better Crypto diagnosis and treatment. We look forward to continuing to expand our relationship with the University of Arizona to bring more of its lab-made reagents to the wider scientific community."

VeriSilicon's Artificial Intelligence Engine Delivers Multi-Sensory Experiences in NXP's i.MX 8 flagship Applications Processor
Vivante GC7000XS/VX Vision GPU brings artificial intelligencecapability to NXP's i.MX 8
Shanghai, China,Jun 7,2017 -- VeriSilicon Holdings Co., Ltd. (VeriSilicon) today announced that NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) has selected its Vivante GC7000XS/VX Vision GPUs for use with NXP's latest flagship i.MX 8 applications processor.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon be a part of everyday lives thanks to NXP's latest i.MX 8. AI can solve problems much the way that the human brain does by detecting and classifying patterns in audio, video and sensor data. This problem-solving ability allows i.MX 8 to do things considered impossible by a SoC only a few short years ago like natural language processing and image / object detection. This ability is powered by the VeriSilicon Vivante GC7000XS/VX Vision GPUs that has built-in AI engines.
While AI has been deployed in software for years now, i.MX 8 marks one of the first instances of an AI engine being represented in silicon and enables a whole host of new practical AI applications in the embedded device market.
"When we started planning for i.MX 8 -- we knew that we wanted to include the ability to go beyond just sophisticated graphics and audio," said Geoff Lees, senior vice president and general manager of microcontrollers at NXP. "We wanted i.MX 8 to be able to understand what it was seeing, hearing and sensing and the Vivante GC7000XS/VX brought us that unique capability in a powerful, yet power efficient IP package. We are excited about the prospects of helping our customers exploit this groundbreaking technology inside of i.MX 8 with their products."
"We are delighted that NXP chose the GC7000XS/VX Vision GPU for their i.MX 8 product family.

CNI Fall 2015 notes
tags: cni, digital humanities, libraries, software
As per usual, this week's CNI meeting offered a surfeit of updates and reports on a number of interesting and emerging projects. After making the hard choices about what to skip and what to see, I tried to take detailed notes on the talks below.
I've been doing this for a number of years–taking extensive notes and publishing them via this blog–and have heard from many of you via various channels that the notes are useful. They certainly help me with remembering what I've heard, as well as when and where and from whom. Please share any suggestions or requests with me through whatever channel works for you or via the comments below.
Digital Dissertations in an Increasingly Welcoming Landscape
Amanda Visconti, Purdue; Matthew Kirschenbaum, Maryland
Noted that she wants to move beyond a discussion of whether digital dissertations are 'equal' to written chapters to a broader discussion of the many ways that one can achieve scholarly goals. Interested in the work that takes public digital collections and makes them "truly" available to all, not just to specialized scholars. In other words, public humanities in a participatory vein.
Her dissertation asked what would happen if one created a text edition and invited everyone to read it and work with it. Created InfiniteUlysses.com, an open edition of Joyce's Ulysses. This work involves building the edition, research blogging, and a whitepaper as debriefing (written in the last month before her defense). She set up her own eponymous Website to host all of the pieces of her dissertation. A zipped version was deposited in the institutional repository.
As she put it clearly one a slide, the major challenge was how to evaluate the dissertation. Need a Joycean and an interface critic, in simple terms, among other expertise. As she noted, this takes some time and effort to organize, but it leads to a conversation between the parties. She noted that working with graduate students doing such work is time intensive and faculty doing it need to have consideration both in terms of credit for this work and release from other work to enable it.
Matt commented on her work and noted that she had taken the notion of a digital dissertation further down the path of moving away from traditional dissertations. She is not the first to include digital components in a humanities dissertation, but the scope of her work and the multiple platforms used made it a broader and more complex project.
Preparing for New Roles and Transformed Libraries: Models and Implementation
Kristen Burgess, Ted Baldwin, Leslie Schick – U of Cincinnati; Greg Raschke, North Carolina State U; Deanna Marcum, Ithaka
Transforming Roles for Transformed Libraries – Deanna Marcum
Started out by attempting to define what a "transformed library" might be. Noted an ALA definition that she found that discussed engaging in new behaviours and supporting communities, but found that didn't go far enough. Offered her own attribtutes:
user focus
services, not collections
agile, experimental
fluid teams solving specific problems
measure outcomes and impact
evidence-based decisions
Continued by outlining more specific services and roles a transformed library fills, including the notion that technical support becomes as important as content. Other aspects that relate to teachers and researchers are familiar: data management services, supporting online teaching, tool and technology assistance, data analytics, etc. There were more, but these are the ones that popped out at me.
Preparing Research Librarians for Transformed Libraries: Creating a Community of Practice – Greg Raschke
His talk focused on the Hunt Library as a major "evolutionary driver" in their organizational development. Moving from providing materials to being a collaborative partner presents a number of opportunities. Noted their guiding principles:
engaging research enterprise at all levels
foundation for expert consultancy
pole into the future
mosaic – informal, organic, formal, credentialed
He noted that it's not helpful to be negative in tone about subject librarianship. A positive approach helps.
Noted the formal components of a community of practice, which include:
organizational job expectations – it has to be part of the job, with all the rewards and assessment that that entails
time and resources – put money and time into this, explicitly
organizational expertise – hiring experts: copyright, coders, etc. – key is to engage them in teams and projects, not let them cordon themselves off
peer-to-peer learning – he didn't expect this to happen, but found that the librarians made it effective
formal training opportunities – put out calls for participation and got overwhelming responses
engagement for purpose and mastery – intrinsic motivation, in other words, works better than extrinsic efforts such as money
Preparing for New Roles – Kristen Burgess, Ted Baldwin, Leslie Schick
The new role they've created is an informationist. Why informationists? It reflects a U.S. trend in academic health sciences libraries. They also identified a number of new work areas they needed to address: data services, GIS, grant support, etc.
When first used, the term meant "information specialists in context." UC created and filled a number of informationist roles: clinical, science, and research (informationist, in each case).
Showed a bit about how they have adapted some spaces in their various locations to accommodate this newer work. More open, flexible, technology-rich, etc. They also plan and host events, such as a GIS Day.
The Great VCU Bike Race Book: Visualizing the Mind of a University
Gardner Campbell, Virginia Commonwealth U
Started with the unusual notion that a data visualization of the 'mind' of a university would be far more informative than all of the reports and statistics we generate. How would one do this, he asks. The Great VCU Bike Race Book is an attempt to move toward such a thing.
In conjunction with the UCI World Championships, VCU ran a series of one-credit, $50 courses related to topics inspired by the racing. It worked out, and led to some outcomes that they didn't expect. One interesting thing to note is that it all happened very quickly. There had been a debate about whether to keep campus open during the race or just close down to avoid the traffic and other issues. In February 2015, they decided to keep campus open but cancel classes and call them "reading days." Was still being cast as a "bike apocalypse" in many ways. In March they put out a call for courses; in April they set up WordPress sites that were intended to be aggregated in a central site. Developed the courses from mid-August to mid-September. Gardner hired a project manager, a postdoc in behavioural genetics; noted that her efforts were key to keeping things on track. The work was coordinated and steered by VCU's ALT Lab.
They made some very attractive images–cycling jerseys–to advertise the courses. The names on the jerseys were "Cycling and Film" and "Anthropology of the Crowd" and so forth. Really graphically catching.
Had to teach students a bit about copyright, so they asked students to apply a Creative Commons license. Most granted it, with only three refusing. As he noted, this was a stellar learning opportunity. Also enabled deposit into VCU's IR, Scholars Compass, which was also another teaching opportunity (and told them that their output was scholarly and valuable).
Archivportal-D: The National Platform for Archival Information in Germany
Christina Wolf, Nadine Seidu – Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg
This was this year's "DFG" talk about a national portal to archival resources that the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg manages for the nation. There are 16 such state archives in Germany, one for each federal state.
They posed the question: why does one need such a German archives portal. The division of materials across 16 archives means that users would theoretically have to know where materials are held to know where to search, and given the federal structure of Germany, this kind of distribution is inevitable. The Archivportal-D, as one would expect, is meant to aggregate the collections and make them available via a single search interface. This project is not the first attempt to achieve this but others have failed to achieve the goal for a variety of reasons.
All archives in Germany may participate, and it includes content from the existing German Digital Library. There are about 11 million records in all. Content is not homogeneous. There is digitized material, but also finding aids, guides to holdings, and information about the archives themselves. They currently have 80 partners and references to ~600 archives.
The German Digital Library (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek – DDB) collects broadly, not only from libraries, with the goal being to offer everyone unrestricted access to Germany's cultural and scientific heritage. It currently stands at 18 million objects. As with many such projects in Germany, it received substantial federal and state funding (9.5 million Euros, for example, as startup funds from the federal government). They outlined how it operates, with the German National Library acting as the technical coordinator with service centres operating around the country, including their home archive.
How do the two work together (DDB and Archivportal-D)? The latter uses specific software components of the DDB but adds other elements that are specific to the presentation and description of archival materials. In other words, they didn't have to completely recreate the wheel, which saves resources. Archives can prepare their materials and push them to both platforms in one step, which is critical. The core argument for the archives platform is the need to reflect archival practice and requirements.
The project started in 2012 and runs to spring 2016. DFG put in money, and there are six major partners: three archives, the German Archives School, the National Library, and FIZ Karlsruhe, an IT infrastructure organization. The original version went live in September 2014 at Europe's major archives conference.
More work to do, of course. They still need to add more content, improve ingest structures and processes, optimize display for mobile devices, etc. Many goals remain, it seems.
The idea of Archivportal-D is not to replace its component archives, but connect these individual archives with larger European initiatives via the Archivportal-D (e.g.- Archives Portal Europe, Europeana). In other words, access to an archive's collections can be via their own interface all the way up to an international aggregation such as Europeana.
The challenges they face are not insignificant. Participation for smaller archives is a problem, as one would expect. It's also surfaced the need for persistent identifiers that work at scale, not just at the local level. Authority files are also a bit troublesome. The Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND) exists and is maintained by the National Library; they want to integrate it into the portal in the future to help push this forward.
Emulation as a Preservation Strategy
David S.H. Rosenthal, Stanford
Started by noting emulation and virtualization have a long history. Notwithstanding the demonstrated feasibility of emulation (thought to be impractical by many), format migration has been the preferred method for enabling access to legacy materials. Noted the work done at Freiburg and Carnegie Mellon and elsewhere that is showing that emulation isn't such a bad alternative.
Showed an example using Theresa Duncan's feminist CD-ROM games from the mid-1990s. Started a Mac emulator to show this working in a modern Web browser. Mentioned Freiburg's bwFLA, which we heard about at a previous CNI meeting (talk by Webster and Cochrane, notes here). It's emulation as a service, which means no need for a user to install anything or use wonky ports, etc.
Showed another example where old Web browsers are emulated, pulling content from the Internet Archive and other Web archives and rendering it in period-appropriate browsers. As he noted, even in those browsers, the content doesn't always render uniformly, let alone in modern browsers, as we know. Also showed a 1997 version of TurboTax running on Windows 3.1; it runs in Chromium on Ubuntu (his platform). Gave the technical details, noting that it relies on Olive Archive software developed at Carnegie Mellon. The details were hard to follow, but gist was that not much network traffic is required and that by virtue of caching, most of the work is done on the local machine. The downside is that it takes a specific environment, but it's not one that is hard to establish.
Tried to show an example of the world's first spreadsheet program VisiCalc using the MESS emulator developed by gamers and available via the Internet Archive. The IA has over 36K software packages available for emulation, some of which work well, others less well, as he noted.
There are concerns in this area, some of them around emulators. The developers of QEMU, for example, do not prioritize preservation. Other emulators, particularly those from enthusiasts, work well in many instances but from a preservation perspective, they are unreliable. Metadata concerns are also an issue. Emulation requires technical, bibliographic, usability, and usage metadata. Tools exist for technical metadata, but bibliographic and usability metadata have no tools. It's hand created and crowd sourced (works well, as he noted, for games).
Fidelity is also a concern one hears around emulation. CPU and memory can be exactly emulated, but other devices may not be so fixable. As he noted, playing Space War in the 1960s involved loading paper strips, pressing buttons, and staring at a large, round CRT. Using modern hardware simply isn't the same. Load and scaling are also concerns. Currently emulation isn't a major infrastructure problem, but as it becomes popular, problems arise and costs increase. For example, Rhizome's release of Duncan's games created a usage spike and increased their AWS hosting costs.
He shifted the topic from emulating artefacts from the 20th century to current artefacts, which are more fluid (not fixed code, but Web programs) and far vaster in scale. This makes preserving current artefacts much more difficult, which neither emulation nor migration can entirely solve. We also have seen an evolution in end-user devices, not least the rise of smartphones. As he noted, sales of "traditional" desktops and laptops are in free fall, while tablets have plateaued. The shift in computing from the CPU to the GPU and the lack of Moore-scale speed gains in the former have changed the landscape.
Not surprisingly, there are also legal issues. Emulation is constrained by copyright and end user license agreements. As he noted on his slide, "emulation almost certainly violates EULA." When confronted with takedown notices, complying with them is the path of least pain. This conflicts with how memory institutions collect, where instability is anathema. National libraries, he noted, have collection permission, but these rights are not being exercised with regard to software. Even if they could not distribute online, they could offer access on-site. He asked whether lending could solve the access issues, as they are with e-books. The IA lends e-books and has faced little resistance, so perhaps it could work with software.
Experiences with High Resolution Display Walls in Academic Libraries
John Brosz, U of Calgary; Josh Boyer, North Carolina State U; Patrick Rashleigh, Brown U
NC State showed their visualization facility in the Hunt Library, as one would expect given the exposure it's gotten in recent years. Their screens wrap around the room and are quite visually intense. Brown has a Digital Scholarship Lab with a 7'x16′ wall made up of 12 tiled displays. As Patrick noted, the most important asset in the room is the flexible furniture. Calgary also has a large wall, as well as a touch table.
Calgary noted fairly quickly that they had a fair bit of usage from humanists, who were viewing manuscripts, images, etc. They had expected mainly visual analysis coming from the sciences. They ran a study, inviting people to come to the room and use it to see how they took advantage of it. The subjects came from all disciplines across campus. From the sound of it, just having any kind of displayed data or image at that size and scale engages people. They see new things, whether visual details or numerical quirks. It also allows many people to look together at one computer screen, which solves an inherent issue with desktop machines. Calgary's conclusions:
size may not matter, but size plus resolution does
aids discoveries and improves design processes
helped observation
Going forward, they might want a larger space (it's too small for classes). Also could use more input devices beyond keyboard and mouse.
Patrick noted that the displays are beautiful and make a strong impression. He remarked that, as at Calgary, their display is in a room, and the difference between having them in open spaces or rooms really determines, to a great extent, how they are used and perceived. Pointed out the inherent flaw in projected technologies: shadows.
One can use these displays using various modalities. Simplest is using it as one big display, i.e.- projecting a single image onto it. Another way to use it involved showing multiple similar artefacts, e.g.- pages from a document. Going further, one can display multiple distinct artefacts, which he referred to as a 'dashboard effect.' One can show source material on the left, say, and a timeline on the right. Or a Google Hangout screen and a document. Last, but not least, they can do multiple artefacts from multiple sources. This can be as simple as having multiple computers (say, students') connected and displayed.
He noted, as did John, that for interaction you need more than a mouse and keyboard. He said they have work to do in this area.
Josh showed their spaces briefly, then a bar graph of the user demographic. Engineering leads the pack (they are close to Hunt), while Humanities and Social Sciences come in second and are nowhere near Hunt. Use is mostly from faculty and graduate students. It occurred to me while he was speaking that I had missed in the introduction that their large 270 degree space is projected, not display screen technology. That explains how it can be so large.

Kozhikode: About 60 sovereign of gold was burgled from the house of Ashif, Chettakunnil House near Thalassery.
Police said that Ashif and his family returned home after a short holiday of two-days at their ancestral home that the stealing came to notice.
The thieves entered the house after breaking the window grille of the bedroom and escaped with all the gold that was kept inside the locker of the Almira. A cash has been registered at Thalassery town police station.
A gang had newly started theft operations meant at locked houses within the town limit and the police have now started the search to identify the persons involved in the crime.


The pear is an edible pomaceous fruit of which there are over two thousand varieties. Its flavour is mild and sweet. It is full of minerals and vitamins and has calming properties that help with digestion.
The dried pear is a delicacy for snacking. Adding a few slices or pieces into a muesli or yogurt is also an excellent idea.


A man was shot and killed Saturday night in Hampton, according to police, and officers also are investigating two other shooting incidents from this weekend.
About 8 p.m., police received a call reporting a man down near Shell Road and Greenlawn Avenue. Officers found the man with a gunshot wound in the roadway at the intersection, and police said he died at the scene.
Police identified the man as Jarrett Parker, 37, from New Jersey. Police do not have other details, a motive or suspect information in the shooting.

ETUC, Businesseurope, UEAPME and CEEP confirmed as representative European social partners
Since 2007, Eurofound has been carrying out for the European Commission a set of so-called representativeness studies with a particular focus on the European sectoral social partners. A recent study now serves to confirm also – if such confirmation were necessary – the representativeness of the European cross-industry social partners ETUC (and its Liaison Committee Eurocadres/CEC), Businesseurope, UEAPME and CEEP.
Following an analysis of the national social partners' organisations which are involved in cross-industry industrial relations within each country, including those engaged in collective bargaining as well as those which take part in consultations over economic and social policies (so-called "bottom-up" screening), and also an analysis of the member organisations of the abovementioned EU-level organisations (so-called "top-down" analysis), a total of 109 trade unions and 141 employers' organizations in all 28 EU members states are included in the study. One conclusion is that, taken together, ETUC, EUROCADRES, CEC and BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME, and CEEP, cover three quarters of the national social partner organisations actively involved in cross-industry industrial relations in the EU. These European organisations also affiliate, through their national memberships, the great majority of unionised workers and firms affiliated to employer associations. Characterised by highly specific and differing features in terms of representation, these organisations are, according to the result of this study, to be regarded as the most important EU-wide representatives of labour and management at cross-industry level.
The study will soon be available at: http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/representativeness.htm

'Arrow' Recap: The Bug-Eyed Bandit Makes For a Honey of an Episode
The Bug-Eyed Bandit is one of the stranger Arrowverse villains. Arrow has had a man whose tattoos turned into exploding playing cards and Bug-Eyed Bandit is still a weirdo. She might be described as Felicity's arch nemesis on The Flash but no one was really asking for her return on The Flash or for her to crossover to Arrow. Yet here is "Beacon of Hope" and Bug-Eyed Bandit is back. The result is surprising awesome episode that is undeniably silly but also undeniably fun. After all the Oliver and Felicity angst, "Beacon of Hope" is kind of necessary.
Bee-ware the Bandit
Felicity is trying to figure out a way to mass produce the miracle chip inside of her that allows her to walk. (Sidenote: I haven't mentioned how ridiculous it is that Felicity is walking again but it totally is and I hate it.) In any case, it proves that miracle technology is expensive and not exactly feasible to mass-produce. This does however make the chip very expensive and valuable.
Arrow: 4 Reasons Why the Oliver and Felicity Break-Up Is Really Dumb >>>
It is so valuable that Brie Larvan, the real name of the Bug-Eyed Bandit, (yes that's really her name) breaks out of prison to get it. Brie breaks into Palmer Tech, which apparently has no security, takes the members of the board hostage and traps the entire building under a cloud of robot bees. (Yes, that's really what happens.)
This hostage situation by robot bees traps Felicity, Donna and Thea inside and away from Team Arrow. This trio of ladies is a team-up I never knew I needed to this moment and it is the definition of perfect. Think the first Die Hard but with less Alan Rickman and with three very attractive funny and bad-ass ladies instead of Bruce Willis.
Under Bee Siege
While it would just as awesome to see Thea, Felicity and Donna's efforts to survive the robot bee swarm, Team Arrow has to be involved somehow. Curtis, who is off sick from Palmer Tech, finds a way to trace the location of the Arrow Cave. Curtis finds his way inside and comes face to face with Oliver, Laurel and Dig. Curtis quickly sits himself down in Felicity's chair and starts taking over Overwatch's duties.
Curtis tells Team Arrow that he can hack the bees so they are allowed to get into the building. This works … kind of. Curtis does hack the bees and Team Arrow does get inside the building but Brie's bees quickly get more advanced. They form into some kind of humanoid enforcer who promptly wrecks Laurel, Ollie and Diggle. In the fight Oliver is stung and he is rushed back to the cave.
Inside the cave Curtis discovers that the bees are multiplying inside of Oliver! He can no longer hack them but he does figure out a way to stop the robots. They need to disrupt and kill them with high radio frequency blah, blah, blah. The point is, they use Laurel's canary cry and she screams the robots out of Oliver. It's way cooler than it sounds.
Bee Takeover
Inside Palmer Tech, Felicity finds a way to use the secret elevator inside the building to save the board members and her mother. Felicity and Thea rescue these hapless civilians and stay behind with Brie. Brie then decides to reveal her master plan which is not totally selfish. She has a tumor on her spine that can only be taken out with paralyzing surgery. She wants the blueprint for the chip so that doesn't happen.
Felicity gives Brie what she wants and then tries to hack into the swarm on her own. This starts to work but Brie discovers something when grabbing the blueprint. Felicity is the hacker who took her down in Central City and landed her in prison in the first place. This is now personal.
Arrow Recap: Oliver Valiantly Tries to Win Felicity Back >>>
Curtis figures out a way to take on the robots that doesn't involve Laurel's cry or hacking them. He gives Oliver a virus payload arrow that if shot near one of the bees, it will cripple the entire swarm. It will allow Curtis to take control. It's silly, sure, but this episode wasn't really going for realism anyhow. The plan works. Oliver breaks into Palmer Tech. He uses the arrow and Curtis is able to take control of the bees from Brie and take down Brie herself.
New Bee-ginnings
As the day is saved, Felicity decompresses with Thea. Thea, as the voice of the audience, tries to convince Felicity to come back to Team Arrow. Felicity says that she isn't interested in doing that anymore though. She just wants to help people and she can do that just as well, if not better, as the CEO of Palmer Tech. Felicity reaffirms her decision to quit Team Arrow and starts a new venture as a philanthropist.
Felicity isn't the only one starting a new-ish job. Malcolm is shown talking to someone in a limo. He tells this mystery man that he heard he can help him complete HIVE's mission. It is revealed that he is talking to Diggle, Andy Diggle. This is quite possibly the lamest reveal in Arrow history.
Arrow season 4 airs Wednesdays at 8pm on The CW.
