One of the biggest challenges in the development of medical devices is the reduction of physical size of the devices and instruments. One technology area that has met this challenge is neuromodulation. Neuromodulation devices may be applied to affect the five senses, muscle control and other functions within the body. These devices included an array of evolving technology, such as computer chips, electrodes, hardware, electrical signals and other synthetic items that interact with the human body. The problems facing entrepreneurs and start-ups and established medical device companies are myriad, the physical size being only one factor.
Technological developments have blurred the line between traditional electrical, chemical, mechanical, biological and applied physics academics. Accordingly, the material science integrates into physics, the chemistry integrates into electronics and the biology integrates into computer algorithms. Medical devices for neuromodulation are pushing the boundaries of technology to produce safe and effective devices beyond traditional physiological areas, such as into the brain, spine and peripheral organs.
Example technological breakthroughs currently being commercialized include a bionic eye having a retinal implant providing electrical stimulation of the retina to induce visual perception in blind individuals with severe to profound Retinitis Pigmentosa. Although the resolution does not match that of a CCD camera or CMOS image sensors popular in camera phones, the pixel array in the bionic eye is sufficient for the user to see and recognize another human, traverse a predefined walking path and even snow ski. Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. of Sylmar, CA has made significant strides in this area.
Interesting examples can be found in two videos about patients using their new bionic eyes and a captivating interview with a blind skier.
Other technologies are focused on the design and development of devices to help restore function and movement in patients with paralysis, for example, non-invasive spinal cord neuromodulator systems. NeuroRecovery Technologies, Inc. is at the forefront in this area, providing patients the ability to restore voluntary movement to their hands and legs and to stand on his/her own feet after catastrophic spinal injury.
Other companies, such as Boston Scientific, are using advanced micro stimulation technologies to develop devices related to spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of chronic pain and deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.
Related research at the University of California, Irvine is being directed to neural engineering, biomedical signal processing and pattern recognition, biological neural network modeling, and biomedical devices and sensors.
As a result of the technological advancements in neuromodulation, companies are developing medical device products and technologies that transform patients' lives – in our view, a laudatory goal of medical device innovation and a major benefit to society. We commend these researchers, entrepreneurs and medical device companies in bringing their passion to advance technology that surely excites us all and provides hope for a better future in applied medicine directed to neuromodulation.
In November 2017, the Caltech Entrepreneurs Forum in Pasadena produced the program "Neuromodulation – Changing Lives with Direct Nerve-to-Device Connections". The program explored the near and intermediate term prospects for researching, developing and implementing devices that interact with the body's neural network. The speakers shared their views on the opportunities and challenges of the field and provided their views of the future in medical devices directed to neuromodulation.
There is much work to be done to bring neuromodulation devices into the mainstream of medicine. Barriers still exist in size reduction, doctor adoption and recommendation, patient acceptance and financial reimbursement. At Steinfl+Bruno, we will be monitoring and participating, as the occasion arises, in this and other exciting technological fields of medicine.

Fonzie's Triumph Auctioned In USA
January 10, 2022 8:36 AM AWST
1949 TR5 Trophy, customised for 'Happy Days' TV show, sells for almost double pre-auction estimate.
A motorcycle that played a role in Happy Days, one of the most popular TV series of all time, sold at auction in December with Bonhams.
First aired in 1974, Happy Days was one of the most popular TV series of its time, with 40 million viewers per episode at its peak. The family comedy/drama centred on the Cunninghams, an all-American family from Wisconsin, but what set Happy Days apart was its historical setting - the late 1950s – a time when America was still enjoying post-WWII prosperity and before internal divisions, race riots, political assassinations and the Vietnam War transformed the country.
Over 11 seasons and 255 episodes, Happy Days became a TV staple, led to two spin-off shows (Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy) and has continued to find new fans via re-runs, DVD and streaming since the last episode aired in 1984.
'The Fonz' was one of TV's most popular and recognizable characters in the 1970s and '80s.
One of the key characters in Happy Days was Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard, while the other was Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli, played by Henry Winkler.
Added as a rebellious contrast to the Cunningham's wholesomeness, The Fonz was originally a minor character in the show, but his look and quotable lines meant his role rapidly grew. With his greaser hairstyle and leather jacket, Fonzie's character was inspired by bikers seen in The Wild One and 1950s exploitation movies, which meant he had to have a motorcycle, too.
Modifications made to the stock TR5 Trophy for the TV show were minimal, mainly confined to the handlebars, front mudguard and seat.
Calling on Bud
To provide a bike suitable for the character and the era, the producers of Happy Days called on stuntman Bud Ekins. An experienced rider who had won a gold medal at the 1962 International Six Day Trials, Ekins was also one of the founders of off-road desert racing in the USA and appeared in the seminal motorcycling documentary, On Any Sunday, alongside his friend – and Hollywood's most famous motorcycle enthusiast - Steve McQueen. As a stuntman, Ekins did the iconic motorcycle jump in The Great Escape in place of McQueen, as well as stunt driving in Bullitt.
To cover mechanical problems and accidents on set, three bikes were built.
For Happy Days, Ekins built three motorcycles, all based on late 1940s/early 1950s Triumph TR5 Trophy scramblers, and rented them out to the production company. It's believed that a Harley-Davidson was sought originally, but when production on the show began, Winkler couldn't ride a motorcycle and found the Harley too heavy and hard to handle, hence the switch to the smaller and lighter Triumph. It could be argued that a second-hand British bike would have likely been more attainable for a high school dropout of limited means like Fonzarelli in the late '50s.
The irony of using a Triumph for a show set in Milwaukee, the home of Harley-Davidson, was probably lost on Happy Days' producers at the time, but regardless, the Trophy TR5 proved a good fit and went on to become a key part of Fonzie's character.
Ekins modified all three to reflect custom bikes of the period, with the addition of mini ape hanger bars, a custom seat, repainted tank, deleted front mudguard and a handful of other minor changes.
Although it wears California registration here, Fonzie's custom Triumph carried fictitious Wisconsin plates for the filming of Happy Days.
Mystery Machine
All three bikes featured on screen throughout Happy Days' eleven seasons, but shortly after production ended, two of the Fonzie bikes disappeared. It's unknown whether they were stolen or lost, but there is some conjecture and myth regarding this, including the emergence of a '52 Trophy in 1996 that's alleged to have been used on the show.
The third Fonzie bike, based on a 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5, has a more traceable, but not definitive, history. Soon after Happy Days finished in 1984, it's believed Ekins sold the bike to Marshall Ehlers of California motorcycle shop, Mean Marshall's Motorcycles, but other sources say it remained in Ekins's possession until 1990 and when it went to Mean Marshall's, it had been returned to stock appearance.
Eventually tracked down by a writer for US motorcycling magazine, Cycle World, the TR5's "Fonzie" provenance was apparently established and despite numerous offers from buyers, Ehlers resisted selling it until 2011. Auctioned through Bonhams back then, as it was again this past December, Fonzie's '49 TR5 Trophy sold for US$87,500 (AU$170,000 approx.).
The bike has popped up for sale occasionally since, including in 2016 when the seller was asking US$100,000, but drew no takers.
In 2018, the Triumph was auctioned again, this time through Hollywood memorabilia specialists, Julien's Auctions, where it sold for US$179,200 (AU$240,000 approx.)
Since it was sold by its creator, Bud Ekins, this bike has been auctioned multiple times.
A New Record?
This past December, The Fonz's TR5 Trophy was consigned with Bonhams for their 'TCM Presents Hollywood Cool' auction, which also featured a genuine Fonzie outfit of leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans and boots used on Happy Days, as well as numerous other items from Henry Winkler's personal collection.
The bike's guiding range for the 8 December auction seemed conservative at US$80,000-120,000 (AU$110,000-160,000), especially given the 2018 result.
As it turned out, that estimate proved to be conservative as the motorcycle ultimately sold for US$231,562 (AU$323,900 approx.) including buyer's premium. While unconfirmed, this is believed to be a new world record price for a Triumph motorcycle sold at auction.
Against a US$120,000 high estimate, the Fonzie bike sold for over US$230,000 at Bonhams Hollywood Cool auction.
The new owner is Richard Rawlings of the well-known Gas Monkey Garage in Texas. Rawlings admits he probably paid too much, but the popular custom car builder and YouTube content creator said the bike has a very strong family connection for him.
As a kid, Rawlings used to watch Happy Days with his father, whom he described as being very much like Fonzie in his attitude and passion for motorcycles. Rawlings actually called him 'The Fort Worth Fonz'!
With his father now suffering the advanced stages of Alzheimer's Disease, Rawlings hopes that showing him Fonzie's famous TR5 Trophy will trigger some memories, not only of the bike and the show, but also of the times they spent watching it together.

Fast forward to last month when I used one of the light meters in a robot I made as a gift for my buddy Lisa's daughter (she is a photographer ). I loved the way it came out so this week I grabbed the other two and went to work. This is what I came up with.
I love the way these look. These are on swivel bases, an idea I got from my wife, and creative consultant, Lori. The GE light meter serves as a great base to work with, the size is nice, about 6 inches tall, and they have great personality. I already found a few more meters on Ebay and ordered them yesterday. These are fun to build and will make a great robot army!

Q: Trigger Azure Function once on bulk upload I have a Azure function that I want to trigger when I upload multiple images at once. The problem is that the blob trigger triggers on upload of individual files. Which means my function triggers for the x amount of files that I upload in that chunk. I would like to only trigger my function one time per bulk upload.
Does anyone know a solution to this?
Best Regards,
R

A: reduards Glad to hear that you resolved your issue.
Thank you joelforsyth Posting your suggestion as an answer to help other community members.

"The trigger doesn't know when the last file is uploaded because
though it is a bulk upload for you, it's still just a collection of
individual files.  You can upload a sort of manifest file after each
bulk upload and have the trigger based on that"

Another summer comes to an end as another school year starts.
Another year where nothing has really changed inside my home.
Another year where not one project has been completed anywhere.
Instead walls, pictures, tables, chairs, sofas, floors, rugs, shelves, door trim, and baseboards wait patiently to be redone, repainted, recycled, reupholstered, refinished, hung, cleaned, dusted, and/or polished in every room of the house.
My family and I have lived in our home since April 2008. The house was built in the late 1970s and had some updating in the early 2000's. The previous owners had the popcorn ceilings removed downstairs, the kitchen cabinets and appliances replaced, a tile floor laid in the kitchen, and fresh paint throughout the house.
For us, it was move in ready. We saw things we wanted to change to reflect our taste but nothing was pressing enough to get done before we moved in.
Fast forward to the present day (7 years later) and not much has changed except for the amount of stuff in our home. (See the About Me page for the kind of stuff I mean.) My husband and I have started many projects but haven't completed any of them. The rooms in our home are all functional but lack a sense of completion, continuity, and aesthetic appeal.
I have spent too much time envisioning and not enough time doing. There are many excuses for the stagnate state of our home and I am ready to face them head-on as I begin the process of making our visions a reality.
Resting comfortably in her crate is Caramel, our 14 year old Australian Shepherd/Lab mix. She was our son's dog until he went off to college. Now, she is very attached to me. Her favorite place to hang out is our bedroom, so her crate is there. A piece of linoleum under it keeps it from sliding along the floor.
She has some arthritis in her back legs and has started having a little trouble getting traction on the laminate flooring when she stands up. We bought an inexpensive carpet to lay by my side of the bed because that is her favorite place to sleep. In addition to her crate and the area rug, Caramel's contribution to the master bedroom is all of the fur that she sheds… it is everywhere!
My nightstand is next to her crate and is an old Singer sewing machine cabinet with a working machine still inside. We picked it up at Goodwill for $25! In my mind it was a great deal because I could repurpose a a part of history. My plan was to learn how to refinish then stain it a lovely oak color. That was several years ago and it is still the worn stain that it was when I bought it. Now, though, it is covered with books, Caramel's treats, dust, and dog hair.
This is our bed and the light from the window makes the floor look really clean! (In reality, there are dog-hair dust bunnies and dried dog drool all over the place. In fact, we picked that color of laminate because it was the color of Caramel's fur. (Cleaning is not high on our list of priorities.) I don't know if it is her age, the summer heat, or the fact we don't Swiffer the floors frequently, but she seems to be shedding a lot!
This is the nightstand on Douglas's side of the bed. I love the shape, however, the top is missing part of the veneer cover, and the paint is warped and peeling in some places. I found it at a large flea market over 10 years ago with the intent to fix and repaint it.
To the right of the nightstand, you can see the corner of a pillow for Caramel to lay on. She likes to lay on it in the morning and look out the window. As a result, his nightstand is covered in hair, too.
The chair is one I picked up at an estate sale. It has good bones, no odor, is comfortable to lounge in with a book, but has torn fabric on the back from where a cat scratched it up. It just needs to be reupholstered. (Something I told myself I would do when I bought it.) This chair sits in front of the window to the right of the dresser in the previous picture. Behind the chair is a beautiful framed print that I bought over 3 years ago. It still has the protective corners on it from the store.
The trunk next to the chair is an old Army trunk from a neighbor that lived next door to me in Michigan when I was 18. His name was Alvin and we had many good conversations at his kitchen table. When he passed away, I lived in Texas. My dad called to tell me he had died and that Alvin wanted me to have his Army trunk. It has served many purposes over the years. Now it is being used as an end table. It is not the most attractive piece, but seeing it brings back good memories.
The blue armoire used to belong to one of my good friends. She redecorated her home and didn't want it anymore. It was made to be an entertainment cabinet, but we use it to hold all the quilts and afghans my mom has made and given to us. I love when I can repurpose something!
That's the master bedroom – BEFORE… now I need to plan for the AFTER!
I love this! The descriptions are perfect and I can't wait to see what you iccomplish. Audrey, however, cannot stop laughing.
Thanks, Michelle! I'm really excited to get started and bring about changes to all the rooms in my home. As my sister and living next door to me, you know more than anyone how I pour my heart and soul into my work during the school year and then take weeks to decompress during the summer. As a result, I've been unable to make the ideas I have for my home into a reality. Tell Audrey to stop laughing…this is the year her aunt will iccomplish many things at home!


You'll appreciate its safety and technology features! Hyundai prioritized fit and finish as evidenced by: power door mirrors, cruise control, and a split folding rear seat. Smooth gearshifts are achieved thanks to the efficient 4 cylinder engine, and for added security, dynamic Stability Control supplements the drivetrain. Both high fuel economy and flexible performance are assured by the 6 speed automatic transmission.

The Style Show: 4 Sneakers I am eyeing for lately!
4 Sneakers I am eyeing for lately!
If there is one type of shoes that I want to purchase as of the moment, it will be a pair of sneakers. Having a summer vibe, dress shoes and loafers are not best for a hot weather condition. Some wearers often have "a sweaty pair of feet" in which a combination of socks and sneakers will aid one's day. Lately, there is a lot of shoes release which makes me go crazy. Since I am enticed to save and purchase these awesome pairs, let me go ahead and share what I found online!
New Balance M998BMG "Boston" x Concepts. The classic New Balance 998 conceptualizes the idea of getting its hues from from the brown and green colors of the red clay of most baseball or softball fields. The upper portion of the sneakers is finished with a classy red rust and green suede with a leather lining and its traditional customized footbed.
Nike Air More Uptempo. The classic Nike Air has been revamped to look more appealing in its traditional white and black colors. This pair has been made popular by Chicago Bull's Scottie Pippen during 1995-1996 season and has taken a fresher look with black nubuck upper with white accents all throughout. The coolest feature includes the word "A-I-R" which is spelled out on each side of the panel.
Adidas' Ultra Boost Black. If one is contemplating of purchasing this pair, I think it must be the right to do it. It features a full Primeknit and mesh upper with plastic/rubber midfoot stripes. Its darker color palettes make the entire ensemble grunge yet classy. Another way of increasing the level of one's game.
4. K-Swiss 50th Anniversary Collection. If there is one legendary sneakers' brand that most people should know, if it will be K-Swiss. The brand's golden anniversary set is a bomb. With an all-white ensemble plus the golden metal accents, one will go crazy about this.
As much as I want to include all the sneakers that I have seen on the web, these kicks will be enough for now. Although the aesthetics is important for fashion, the entire matching outfit is a necessity for one to stand out.


One of the pairs scheduled to release is this "Taxi" colorway. Dressed in a Black, White, Tour Yellow, and University Red color scheme. It features a full Black-based upper paired with Red contrasting accents. A Taxi-like Yellow and Black midsole atop a White rubber sole completes the theme.

Henderson County High School junior Dalton Hinkle claimed a NASP archery tournament championship in Louisville.
HENDERSON - Lightning rarely strikes twice in the same place, they say. But Henderson County High School junior Dalton Hinkle pulled it off on Saturday in Louisville.
Just two weeks after winning first place in the 2018 Kentucky High School Athletic Association Archery State Championships, Hinkle once again shot a near perfect round and claimed the National Archery in the Schools Program boys championship title.
Just like in the KHSAA Championships in Lexington, Hinkle -- the son of Jeff and Sue Hinkle -- shot a 299 out of 300 to claim the title.
To put that in perspective, that means when Hinkle shot his NASP tournament round Saturday -- he hit the bullseye 29 out of 30 times.
This time, unlike in Lexington, he didn't have to undergo a tie-breaker shoot-off with another competitor.
Hinkle is an old hand with a bow and arrow, starting his NASP journey on the Cairo Elementary team.

Q: Java formatting GMT Date I'm not finding a way to do edit GMT Date
I receive "params.date" one string in this format "yyyyMMdd", so this is my flow:
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMdd').parse(params.data)
System.out.println(sdf.parse(params.data))

output:
Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022

And I need it:
Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-00:00 2022

Can someone help me?

A: A few important points:

*

*Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022 is not equal to Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-00:00 2022. The date-time of Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022 is equal to the date-time of Fri Nov 18 00:00:00 GMT+00:00 2022 which you can obtain by adding 3 hours to Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022.

*Your time-zone has an offset of -03:00 and therefore the java.util.Date object is being displayed with the default time-zone offset. Note that java.util.Date does not represent a real date-time, rather, it gives you the number of milliseconds from the Epoch and then the Date#toString implementation applies the system's time-zone to render the string.

*The java.util date-time API and their formatting API, SimpleDateFormat are outdated and error-prone. It is recommended to stop using them completely and switch to the modern date-time API.

Demo with java.time API:
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Main {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                String data = "20221118";
                LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(data, DateTimeFormatter.BASIC_ISO_DATE);

                ZonedDateTime zdt1 = date.atStartOfDay(ZoneOffset.UTC);
                ZonedDateTime zdt2 = zdt1.withZoneSameInstant(ZoneOffset.of("-03:00"));

                DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss 'GMT'xxx uuuu",
                                Locale.ENGLISH);
                System.out.println(formatter.format(zdt2));
                System.out.println(formatter.format(zdt1));
        }
}

Output:
Thu Nov 17 21:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022
Fri Nov 18 00:00:00 GMT+00:00 2022

One of the Caribbean's most entertaining and all-encompassing countries – with world-class beaches, outstanding resorts, and friendly hosts – the Dominican Republic is also a great vacation value!
The Dominican Republic's white, golden, and even black sands stretch across its 800 miles of coastline, with the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. But make no mistake, the DR is no one-trick pony. Sure, its biggest draw may be its beaches and postcard-perfect waters, but there's a lot more to this energetic land, like professional baseball and hand-rolled cigars; Spanish Colonial cities and sleepy fishing villages; lazy, palm-shaded afternoons and diving between shipwrecks.
World class resorts
The DR is especially known for its lively resort scene. Head to Punta Cana, La Romana, Puerto Plata, and Samana, where numerous resorts – many of them all-inclusive – invite you to indulge in virtually every water sport, from snorkeling and windsurfing, to jet-skiing and sailing. Add in lagoon swimming pools freckled with swim-up bars, gourmet dining, tennis courts, golf, and more, and you'll see this is a destination that knows its way around a resort!
Punta Cana tantalizes you with emerald waters, palm-shaded beaches, and resorts dedicated to luxurious indulgence. La Romana is a fabulous resort area highlighted by Altos de Chavon, a replica 16th-century European village perched high on a cliff. And Puerto Plata's Victorian style in Old Puerto Plata and modern offerings on Playa Dorada give visitors the best of yesterday and today.
Our favorite beaches
For families...
Tourists love La Romana's string of immaculate beaches including Bayahibe and Minitas Beach, which are kid-friendly thanks to calm, shallow waters. Popular with Santo Domingo residents, Boca Chica is also kid-friendly with shallow offshore waters. The beach has immaculate fine sand, and there are plenty of bars, restaurants, pizza stands, and souvenir stalls close by.
Adventures on the water...
The action is non-stop on golden Cabarete Beach, one of the globe's top windsurfing and kiteboarding venues (and home to World Cup championship events in both sports). Surfing and scuba diving are also top diversions here.
For romance...
Powdery beaches, towering palms, azure waters, and the occasional sand bar at low tide make Isla Saona one of the island's most romantic destinations. This small island is part of the Parque Nacional Del Este.
Popular Punta Cana
Punta Cana has long been a top Caribbean haven for tourists, and with good reason. Its gorgeous beaches face both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and its waters are calm thanks to protection by a stunning reef (which also makes for great snorkeling). Punta Cana is often referred to as the "Coconut Coast" due to the swaying coconut palms that line its 30 miles of super-fine white sand. Bake in the sun, go horseback riding along the shore, or swim and dive into every imaginable water sport in the turquoise water!
Punta Cana also features a thriving resort scene that promises countless activities for all types of vacationers. Families can splash at a range of water parks, shoppers will find arts and crafts both on resort properties and within plazas along Punta Cana's main roads, and the area boasts some of the DR's best spas for those who need to unwind and relax. At night, Punta Cana comes alive with discos, live entertainment, and casinos at many resorts.
Santo Domingo: the New World's oldest city
In addition to sun, sea, sand, and beautiful resorts, the DR offers a unique cultural experience, as a colorful mosaic of Spanish, French, Haitian, and African influences suffuse the island. This is evident in the many historic aspects of Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the New World, and the largest city in the Caribbean.
Modern Santo Domingo is a bustling, cosmopolitan capital city with great nightlife, dining, and shopping, as well as museums, ballet, opera, and world-class sports. Make time for strolling the lively waterfront of the Malecon, home to sleek hotels, cafes, restaurants, clubs, and shops.
Meanwhile, Old Santo Domingo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of cobblestone streets and traditional architecture. The oldest cathedral in the New World is just one of the beautiful sights here.
Nearby Boca Chica fronts the largest reef-protected ocean lagoon in the Caribbean. Juan Dolio, more tranquil and less hectic, is a haven of challenging golf and excellent cuisine.
Typical Dominican meals tend to be heavy in meats such as chicken, beef, pork, and goat, centered on a stew of brown beans, plantains, and rice flavored with very mild spices. Local dishes you are likely to encounter include:
Sancocho, a thick stew blended with meats and vegetables;
Mangu, mashed green plantains;
Arepa, a sweet cake served with your main dish.
Presidente is a high-quality local ale and a jugo is a refreshing fresh fruit drink made with crushed ice and sugar.

Q: Set this countdown timer to specific time I have a Javascript code for a countdown timer on a date. I want to use this code in a online shop order process. However I don't want to edit the date every day manually. I want that the timer counts everyday to the same target time.
Note: the variable responsible for that is: deadline
function updateTimer(deadline){
      var time = deadline - new Date();
      return {
        'days': Math.floor( time/(1000*60*60*24) ),
        'hours': Math.floor( (time/(1000*60*60)) % 24 ),
        'minutes': Math.floor( (time/1000/60) % 60 ),
        'seconds': Math.floor( (time/1000) % 60 ),
        'total' : time
      };
    }

    function animateClock(span){
      span.className = "turn";
      setTimeout(function(){
        span.className = "";
      },700);
    }

    function startTimer(id, deadline){
      var timerInterval = setInterval(function(){
        var clock = document.getElementById(id);
        var timer = updateTimer(deadline);

        clock.innerHTML = '' + timer.days + ''
                        + '' + timer.hours + ''
                        + '' + timer.minutes + ''
                        + '' + timer.seconds + '';

        //animations
        var spans = clock.getElementsByTagName("span");
        animateClock(spans[3]);
        if(timer.seconds == 59) animateClock(spans[2]);
        if(timer.minutes == 59 && timer.seconds == 59) animateClock(spans[1]);
        if(timer.hours == 23 && timer.minutes == 59 && timer.seconds == 59) animateClock(spans[0]);

        //check for end of timer
        if(timer.total < 1){
          clearInterval(timerInterval);
          clock.innerHTML = '0000';
        }

      }, 1000);
    }

    window.onload = function(){
      var deadline = new Date("august 26, 2017 17:15:00");
      startTimer("clock", deadline);
    };

Q: jQuery datepicker not submitting so this is my first try of fiddeling around with ruby and i am trying to do a blog type of entry, where i am given the current date by default and then i can enter text into another textfield.
I created a datepicker, and set the date to select the current date. It automatically shows the current date and when clicking on the field, i can select another, but when submitting the post, the date is not being processed.
If i create a text field and enter the date manually, it works.
This is my _form.html.erb
    <%= form_for(gym) do |f| %>
  <% if gym.errors.any? %>

<%= pluralize(gym.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this gym from being saved:

      <% gym.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>

<%= message %>

      <% end %>

  <% end %>

   <%= f.label :Date %>
 <input id="Date" type="text" size="10" >

    <%= f.label :Workout %>

    <%= f.text_field :Workout, size:"30x10" %>

    <%= f.submit "Submit a  Workout" %>

<% end %>

This is my new.html.erb
   <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

New Workout

<%= render 'form', gym: @gym %>

<%= link_to 'Back', gyms_path, {:style => 'color:#FFF'} %>

And this is the index.html.erb that displays the data.

<%= notice %>

Workouts

      Date
      Workout

    <% @gyms.each do |gym| %>

        <%= gym.Date %>
        <%= gym.Workout %>
        <%= link_to 'Show', gym %>
        <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_gym_path(gym) %>
        <%= link_to 'Destroy', gym, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?'} %>

    <% end %>

<%= link_to 'New Workout', new_gym_path, {:style => 'color:#FFF'}%>

A: When you use form helper to create text_field, rails will create a text field input with id is model_name_field_name
Example: When I create a form for user
<%= form_for(user) do |f| %>
  <%= f.text_field :name %>
<% end %>

Rails will create a text field:
<input type="text" id="user_name" name="user[name]">

When add datepicker:
$("#user_name").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy', defaultDate: new Date})

By another way, you also can create a text field input with custom id:
 <%= f.text_field :name, id: "my_input_id" %>

And
$("#my_input_id").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy', defaultDate: new Date})

Hope I can help.

AZ Turkey Volunteers Take Action!
Turkey has a major Type 2 Diabetes problem, with a prevalence more than 20% higher than in any other country in Europe1. Diabetes shortens lives, reduces their quality and is a major strain on health resources. Volunteers from AstraZeneca Turkey decided to tackle the roots of the problem head-on by working to combat obesity and inactivity in young people under its 'Hey Youth-Take Action' schools-based programme.
The volunteers came from throughout the company but all were united by the desire to make a difference – after all, as Gizem Şenyurt, a Corporate Communications Specialist, puts it, 'these students could be our friends or family'.
The project is taking them into schools nationwide and aims directly to impact 11,000 students, with a mix of workshops and physical activity. The aim is to equip them with the knowledge and experience to help them make choices to become, and remain, healthy adults. By working with young people they are following the science which shows that this non-communicable disease is strongly linked to obesity and physical underactivity2 and that the underlying factors are often there in youth and childhood. Overweight children are at least twice as likely to become overweight adults compared with normal-weight children3.
For some of the volunteers, who are very familiar with the issues, it came as something of a shock to find that the students often knew little about healthy diet and physical activity. As Gizem noted 'most of them are under-informed. They showed great interest in the information which makes me think that the program content was an important need in their education', but the lively presentation moved this away from boring 'chalk and talk' to something truly interactive and motivating.
It was priceless to see that the youth is genuinely eager to change and learn
said Tolga San, a Congress & Meeting Executive.
The activity that volunteers and children enjoyed most was undoubtedly the parkour, in which teams used their coordination and agility to contest to complete a challenge course that was taken from school to school. 'Most of them participated in such activities for the first time', according to Hakan Şatana a Sales Manager 'I enjoyed students' excitement while working together for parkour activities and the effort they put in to compete'.
The volunteers also learned from the students: for example Pinar Kurt, a Senior Product Promotion Leader, saw that it was important to reach beyond the sporty children and to 'encourage the ones that didn't want to participate', and aother noticed that 'students were more participative during interactive content and games'. Gizem was particularly impressed by 'the way students participated in the video contest, with encouragement from AstraZeneca mentors who helped them to identify content they could use in the videos'.
The initiative has so far produced evidence of its effectiveness through surveys carried out with students, before and after the events, to track progress. It has also demonstrated how well-known problems such as childhood obesity can still be tackled in new and interesting ways. Gizem concludes that 'to make other such projects successful, they should be gamified and interactive', Pinar agrees 'I believe it is also very important that our partners are open to take feedback'.
Some of the feedback to AstraZeneca management was equally clear 'making such major-scale projects for social responsibility made me feel proud to be an AstraZeneca employee' said Pınar.
Hey Youth Take Action! Is just one of twenty-six on the ground programme that have been set up globally through the Young Health Programme since it started in 2010. As Helen Seibel Associate Director, Global Community Investment at puts it
every society and every opportunity is different, but we are committed to finding and delivering the interventions that help young people to live longer happier and more productive lives. Hey Youth Take Action! is a great example of innovation in practice and of the brilliant volunteering spirit we have here in AstraZeneca

We continue by establishments that call to city's past as well as recount it, notably the Royal British Columbia Museum, the Oldest Church, and St. Anne's Academy. We then enter into one of the capital's most beautiful attractions: Beacon Hill Park.
Experience the melodic hoof beats as your eyes indulge in the natural ecosystem of Vancouver Island, along with a plethora of beautifully landscaped garden beds. We then take a quiet walk through the heritage homes of James Bay - the neighbourhood of Victoria's past and present - before heading up Government Street into the downtown core. Here you will see the Old Town, with displays of former banks and places of trade, along with the unique Chinatown. We proceed along the inner harbour and past the majestic Empress Hotel, soaking in views of the original steamship terminal, waterway, and Legislative Buildings before returning to the carriage stand.
Our Very Best (90 Minutes)
Our Very Best tour leaves from the side of the Legislative Buildings in the Inner Harbor passing by the Royal British Columbia Museum, Fairmont Empress, Victoria's oldest Church and the restored St. Anne's Academy. We then continue into Beacon Hill Park 62 acres of flowers, duck ponds and a wonderfully fragrant rose garden.
Our next view is of the spectacular Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. From here we meander back through James bay to the Inner Harbor, up Government Street to Chinatown and the Gate of Harmonious Interest and back through the Old Town of Victoria with its original waterfront buildings.
Your next breathtaking view is of the majestic Empress Hotel and our landmark Legislative buildings & inner harbor, ending back at the carriage stand.

One Simple Meaning, Multiple Meanings, Or One Complex Meaning? A Little Typology
Monday we looked at Turretin's argument for the continuing doctrinal authority of the Old Testament for Christians. Many of his answers depended on the idea that the Old Testament contains by way of prophecy, type, and shadow, the same substance as the New Testament. Today I want to look at a section in related question that may shed some light on Turretin's understanding of prophecy, types, and shadows.
In question 19 he takes up the issue of whether or not Scripture has more than one meaning. Or rather, whether the classic fourfold meaning–literal, allegorical, anagogical, and tropological–was admissable. For those unfamiliar with the distinction, Turretin explains:
In order that the Roman Catholics may force upon us another, visible, judge of controversies-the church and the pope-besides the Scripture and the Holy Spirit speaking in it, they invent a multiple meaning in Scripture, and from this conclude that the meaning is doubtful and ambiguous. So they distinguish between literal and mystical meaning, and further divide the mystical into three parts: allegorical, tropological, and anagogical. They call it allegorical when the sacred history is applied to doctrines of the faith, like what is said in Galatians 4:22 concerning the two covenants or Sarah and Hagar; anagogical when the words of Scripture are applied to events of future ages, like what is said in Hebrews 4:3 concerning rest; tropological when applied to conduct. All this is expressed in the familiar jingle:
Facts the letter teaches; what you'll believe, the allegory;
What you'll do, the moral meaning; and where you're bound, the anagogy.
Now, whether that's an accurate take on Roman Catholic usage, I'll leave it for others to decide, but it gives you an idea of what he's worried about. Turretin goes on to explain that the Reformed hold to a single meaning per text. Now, while that may initially sound like a recipe for flat readings, he goes on to explain that this single meaning might be "simple or composite":
A simple and historical meaning is one which consists of the statement of one fact without any further significance either as commandment or as dogma or as history. This can be one of two kinds, either strict and grammatical or figurative. The strict meaning depends on the exact words; the trope on the figurative language. A composite or mixed meaning is found in oracles containing typology, part of which [oracle] is type and part antitype. This does not constitute two meanings, but two parts of one and the same meaning intended by the Holy Spirit, who covered the mystery with literal meaning.
So the literal meaning is the only meaning, but that does not rule out that the Holy Spirit may have intended that same single meaning to have layers and dimensions to it. What's more, the "literal" meaning does not mean a literalistic, or idiot-literal meaning. The literal meaning can comprehend metaphors, figures of speech, differing genres, etc. Indeed he quotes Aquinas and Salmeron here:
"literal meaning" describes not only that which is based on the strict, not figurative, meaning of the words, by which it is distinguished from "figurative meaning," as was often done by the Fathers, but it also describes the meaning intended by the Holy Spirit and expressed either strictly or in figurative language; thus Thomas [Aquinas] defines the literal meaning as "what the Holy Spirit or author intends," and Salmeron "what the Holy Spirit, the author of Scripture, wishes primarily to say, whether by the strict meaning of the language or by tropes and metaphors" (1.7)
His intention is to rule out the sort of exegesis that appealed to the "mystical" meaning that included allegories that were not governed by the literal meaning. Allegorical meanings hidden underneath the literal meanings, to be revealed by the discerning or authorized teachers made it easier to twist texts to fit doctrines, rather than norm doctrines by texts:
The mystical meaning may be either sacred or ecclesiastical. The sacred is that which the Holy Spirit sets forth through the Holy Scriptures, and which is therefore based on Scripture itself. Of this sort are John 3:13[14], concerning the bronze serpent; I Corinthians 10:1 – 4, concerning the baptism of the cloud and the sea, and the Israelites' spiritual food and drink; Galatians 4:22, concerning the allegory of Abraham's two wives; and I Peter 3:[20 – ]21, concerning the ark and baptism. The ecclesiastical is that which is developed by ecclesiastical writers, either for the sake of illustration, or of embellishment, which Philo Judaeus first attempted, in two books of allegories. Many of the Fathers followed him, especially Origen, who used this form of interpretation more than any other, so that he often fell into extremes, for which reason Jerome, in his letter to Avitus and Amabilis, rightly rebuked him: "Origen thinks that the brilliance of his mind is a sacrament of the church." In the latter sense, although it can be used for illustration, [the mystical meaning] has no force for proving [doctrine], because it is a human interpretation, not divine [teaching], which can suggest probabilities but not convince (probabiliter suadere, sed non persuadere). But the former sense has the force of proof in the teachings of the faith, because it has the Holy Spirit as author and hence is part of his intention. Therefore what is said popularly, that theology is symbolic but not scientifically demonstrative (argumentivus), is true only of allegories and of parables that are of human, not divine, origin.
He clarifies:
It is not a question whether there is only one idea (conceptus) in the meaning of Scripture; we grant that the one meaning often yields several ideas, but they are mutually dependent, especially in the composite sense composed of type and antitype. The question is whether there are in the same pericope (locus) different meanings not dependent upon each other, as is the opinion of Azorius (Institutio moralis 1.82), Thomas (1.1.10), Lyra, Gretserus, Becanus, Salmeron, Bellarmine, and others.
Even more, Scripture having a single meaning does not mean that it cannot be applied in several ways, whether at one time for apologetics, others instruction, and still others for comfort. Scripture might have one meaning, but its significance in application can be varied.
So the allegorical, anagogical, and tropological are not different meanings, but applications of the single literal meaning; allegory and anagogy apply to instruction, and tropology applies to discipline.
So how does all of this cash out with respect to typology? What does this look like in Turretin's mind? Well, in a stunning passage, Turretin gives us a crash-course in exegetically- and contextually-sensitive typological exegesis.
Since Scripture, which contains much more than words, is very rich in meaning, it is not absurd to say that the Holy Spirit wanted to give many teachings to us in the same word, but [always] one subordinated to the other so that one is the sign and figure of the other, or that they have some connection and dependency. Thus the promise given Abraham concerning his descendants refers both to Isaac as type and to Christ as antitype (Gal. 3:16). The oracle forbidding the breaking of the bones of the lamb (Exod.12[:46]) refers both to the paschal lamb as a figure and to Christ in mystery (John 19[:36]). The promise given David, "I will be a father to him" (II Sam. 7[:14]), refers both to Solomon and to Christ (Heb. 1[:5]). The prediction in Psalm 16[:10] that the holy one will not see corruption applies both to David, although incompletely, and to Christ, completely (Acts 2:29 – 30). There are any number of such texts in Scripture, which have various aspects (sceceis) which must be held together in order to have the full meaning of the oracle, and they are fulfilled not all at once, but in stages over a period of time. Thus many of the ancient oracles had three aspects: for the dispensation (status) of the law in the Jewish church, for the dispensation of grace in the Christian church, and for the dispensation of glory in heaven. Thus Isaiah 9:1, about the people who walked in darkness and saw a great light, has three stages of fulfillment: the liberation from Babylon, the proclamation of the gospel (Matt. 4:[14 -16]), and the final resurrection, through which those who were living in the valley of the shadow of death will see the great light of the glory of God. Likewise in Ezekiel 37, it can be observed concerning the dry bones that the oracle had already been fulfilled when the people went out from their most bitter captivity in Babylon as from the tomb (v. 12), it is being fulfilled today in the spiritual resurrection (Eph. 5:14), and it will be perfectly fulfilled in the final resurrection (John 5:25).
Here we see Turretin's approach to typology on full display. In each case, he has a clear view of the multiple layers of meaning within the single "literal" meaning. The mystical, or typological significance is married to and dependent on the initial, contextually-defined, historical base. All the same, it rich, textured and sensitive to the Christological and redemptive-historical import of each text. Reading through a passage like this, we see a couple things worth highlighting.
Paying careful attention to the structure of types and shadows helps demonstrate the clear unity of Scripture from Old to New Testament. Yes, the Bible is 66 books and thousands of micro-stories and texts, but it is one grand drama authored by the Lord of History, recorded under the inspiration of the Spirit.
Second, once again, a "literal" reading of Scripture according to the Reformers and the tradition that followed them did not mean "flat", rough, or literalistic. This is not mere proof-texting that runs rough-shod over context. Reformed scholastics like Turretin were actually sophisticated and careful exegetes. Systematic theologians can be responsible interpreters of the text no matter the style of theological argumentation they engage in.
May we learn to walk in their footsteps.

Reblogged this on James' Ramblings and commented:
Reblogging for future reference.
A Reformed theologian quotes a medieval approvingly? I'm shocked and dismayed
I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but there's nothing shocking or dismaying about it. There's an enormous amount of continuity between the two. What's more, Even Calvin could quote certain Medievals like Bernard of Clairveaux approvingly.
I was being facetious. You often get taught a story of the Reformation in which nothing happens for a thousand years of legalism, before Luther comes and saves Christendom. I'd be interested to see where Calvin quotes Bernard, I always got the impression that the Reformed had ambivalent feelings towards contemplatives
Excellent. Yes, Calvin frequently quotes him in the Institutes. Bernard was a powerful preacher and so Calvin enjoyed his expositions. Very Augustinian.

Derek thanks very much for sharing what you find in Turretin here – very interesting indeed!
You probably know that Leithart defends the fourfold meaning of texts/Scripture in 'Deep Exegesis'.
As someone who can appreciate both the Turretins of this world and the Leitharts (and all that he and Jordan have done to open our eyes to read Scripture in a very different way), where would you say you stand on this question of multiple meanings? How can we parse this out and evaluate these positions?

If you have ever suffered from Plantar Fasciitis you know how painful this condition can be. What better way than offering your readers help on this topic. This set of 5 PLR articles will teach and inform your visitors on some very effective things they can do to alleviate the pain of Plantar Fasciitis.
If you get up from the bed with foot pain, you might be experiencing plantar fasciitis. It is a condition where the tissues in the feet get damaged due to immense pressure applied on the heel. The pain starts slightly in the beginning and accelerates over time. It is particularly important to identify this condition and undergo plantar fasciitis treatment in the initial stage.
There are different methods to treat plantar fasciitis. Firstly, it is very important to give your heel ample rest. Avoid walking bare foot. Use the right size shoe to prevent pressure on the heel. It is no good to go for running or walking for long periods of time with this condition.
If you continue to walk while still in pain, it will aggravate the pain and make it tough to treat. Applying ice to the feet can be an enormous help. It will diminish the pain to a greater extent. If you cannot avoid walking or other activities, apply ice after you come home from walking. It will surely prevent the inflammation or pain from becoming too intense.

How long ago did this hookup happen? 10 years ago
What was your relationship status at the time? Same as current status
Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? She was married, in her early 50s I believe. Reasonably good looking, not thin but not fat, probably around 5'2″. I had been traveling to the Seattle area regularly and was hanging out at a bar down the street from my hotel. She ended up sitting next to me. I had never had an affair in 17 years of marriage but had thought about it.
How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? I suppose she instigated it though I was pretty interested. After some chatting and flirting she leaned in and told me she had an open marriage and enjoyed getting together with other men. She mentioned that her husband was traveling but that she had also done threesomes (MMF) with him there. We chatted a bit more and headed over to my hotel room.
What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? We pretty quickly got into it when we got into my room. We started making out while standing up. She started stroking my cock and pretty quickly was on her knees undoing my belt, pulling down my pants, and pulling my cock out of my boxer briefs. It was pretty hot. I let this go on for a bit and then got her up, took off her dress, and pretty quickly removed her black bra and matching panties. I kind of devoured her, starting at her neck, working my way down to her breasts and then her pussy. We started off missionary, then I turned her over. I love doggy style, and I made sure to smacked her womanly ass. Then I came. We pulled apart, talked a bit and then started again. It ended with me finally pulling out, taking off the condom, and her blowing me until I came. She then left.
What happened AFTER the hookup? How did you feel about it the next day? What are/were your expectations/hopes for the future with this person? How do you feel about them now? She had my number but never contacted me. I was a bit surprised how quickly and easily it came together and also how I enjoyed the sex without really wanting anything else. I'm not particularly disappointed that she didn't contact me. Though I wouldn't have minded hooking up again.
What precautions did you take to prevent STIs and pregnancy? (Check all that apply) Condoms
What were your motives for this hookup? Fun, pleasure, horniness, Attraction to partner(s), It was easy / convenient
What was the WORST thing about this hookup? It was easy with no commitment
Has this hookup changed the way you think about casual sex, sexuality, or yourself in general? It made me realize that I enjoyed casual sex and that it could be easy at times to engage in.
What are your thoughts on casual sex more generally, the role it has played in your life, and/or its role in society? What would you like to see changed in that regard? It took me a while to engage in it. I'm pleased that women are more open to engaging in casual sex
What do you think about the Casual Sex Project? very interesting and useful project

Why nobody checks if this site renders ok on lower resolution displays?
I have 1280x768 display and ths is how this site looks like.
There are plugins for browsers that can resize your window with few clicks so this is not acceptable.
What's wrong with it besides that popup?
So it's nothing to do with the site rendering properly, but third party popups not, which are easily blocked.
I did all the work you just need to copy and paste.
Or you can decrease the zoom level, I have to on my tablet on plenty of sites.
Ctrl + - is easier.
I'm not sure if you are aware of the fact that you can simply hover over the lower portion of the social media hub and an arrow option will present itself. Select it, to close the media hub entirely. I thought it best to inform you just in case you didn't know. If you did, then please disregard my suggestion. Anyways, have a nice day.


The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund has announced the first awards for its Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity in Humans Program, which will allow researchers to develop a comprehensive map of the molecular changes that occur in response to physical activity and uncover findings that could lead to people engaging in more targeted and optimized types of activity.
Nineteen grants totaling approximately $170 million through fiscal year 2022 (pending availability of funds) will support researchers across the country – including Russell Tracy, Ph.D., of the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. The awardees will work as a consortium to develop plans for recruitment into clinical trials, identification of methods to analyze tissue samples, and selection of animal models to best replicate human studies. Animal models will allow researchers to search for changes in tissues not easily accessible in human patients, such as the brain, lungs, and kidneys.
In addition to the clinical trial sites, the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) will include seven chemical analysis sites, three awards to conduct physical activity studies in animal models, a bioinformatics center to disseminate data and tools to the entire research community, and a coordination center to harmonize activities across the Consortium. The program will also provide funding to store data in a user-friendly public resource that any researcher can access to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which physical activity can improve or preserve health.
Tracy and his Vermont team will be supported by roughly $1.2 million in funding from the Consortium's Coordinating Center's $10 million award over the project period. In collaboration with the Coordinating Center, Tracy's lab at UVM will work with MoTrPAC investigators and the analytical sites to standardize biological specimen collection methods; ensure the protocols are written in a standardized manner; oversee the collection of the biological specimens; develop quality control procedures; receive the biological specimens and store them in state-of-the-art ultracold freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks; help develop ancillary study procedures and methods. His group will then distribute these biological specimens to the MoTrPAC investigators, as well as other investigators who wish to conduct studies related to this large-scale exploration of the biochemical effects of exercise.
NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

Knight Frank Establishes Residential Division in Cardiff
Leading international property consultancy, Knight Frank LLP, has announced the launch of its residential arm in Cardiff.
The new division will join the firm's well-established commercial business, based in its Cardiff Bay office at Scott Harbour.
The move will further enhance Knight Frank's already existing coverage of South Wales, which has previously been covered from the offices based in Hereford and Bristol.
Knight Frank Partner Anthony Clay, who has over 25 years of experience and knowledge of the Cardiff, Monmouthshire and Glamorgan property markets, will lead the residential sales division, having relocated from Knight Frank in Hereford.
The team is set to expand in the very near future to incorporate a sales agent for the city.
Anthony said: "At Knight Frank, we pride ourselves on identifying and responding to market activity and demands.
"Our ongoing research has shown that now is the perfect time to consolidate and strengthen our presence in the South Wales region and to be based centrally in Cardiff, where our clients need us to be.
"We are fortunate to be part of the Knight Frank network of more than 15,000 people across 411 offices in 60 countries.
"We are therefore able to truly set ourselves apart by providing a worldwide service that captures interest from both a local and global audience."
Matt Phillips, managing partner of the Knight Frank Cardiff office, added: "It is a very exciting time at which to grow our residential sales team in Cardiff, a city which has seen dramatic growth, thanks to developments in the city itself and unwavering demand for homes in the surrounding areas.
"Anthony, who lives locally to the area, has served the areas of Monmouthshire and South Herefordshire region for over 25 years, so is well placed to focus specifically on sales in this area and to expand the Knight Frank team in Cardiff."

An introduction to barcode and RFID technologyGreg2021-08-23T10:12:10+10:00
An introduction to barcode and RFID technology
Barcode Direct
A barcode is a representation of data in optical, machine readable form. The data is arranged into a standardised pattern, consisting of bars, or geometric shapes. There are a number of different patterns, known as symbologies. Barcodes are used as an efficient, way of recording and retrieving information to keep track of items – from packets of cereal in a supermarket, to books in a library, to patient samples in a hospital. International standards for symbologies ensure the consistency and accuracy that are needed for the successful use of barcodes.
Some symbologies include a check digit – a character included within a symbol whose value is based, mathematically, on other characters within the symbol. It is used to perform a mathematical check to ensure the accuracy of the read.
Different symbologies suit different businesses – for example, Code 128 and Code 39 suit Pathology as they are Alpha Numeric, can have a check digit for security and (for Code 128), can contain more data than other symbologies.
1D and 2D barcodes
The simplest barcodes, known as one-dimensional (1D) barcodes, represent the data with parallel lines of varying widths, with varying spaces. The lines represent a numeric code, which can be uniquely assigned to an item, looked up via a database. 1D barcodes can be read by optical scanners, or barcode readers and are still almost universally used in retail, as well as many other industries.
2D codes are referred to as 'barcodes' although they don't actually contain bars – they use rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions. 2D codes carry significantly more data than 1D barcodes, and can be read by any device with the appropriate reader app, including smartphone. This makes them perfect not only for tracking of items, but for marketing purposes, to tell customers more about the productby linking them directly to a website. 2D barcodes are designed to be used 'stand-alone', that is, they can hold all the required data without needing to go to a lookup database – this lends them to applications such as e-ticketing in travel, andrecords in health, where all the relevant traveller/ patient details can be accessed directly from the code.
There are several formats of 2D barcode, including the QR code, from Denso-Wave, Aztec code by Welch Allyn, MaxiCode and Semacode.
The key differences between 1D and 2D barcodes are:
1D codes hold up to 20 characters, 2D hold up to 4000 characters
1D codes have to be read sequentially, multiple 2D codes can be read simultaneously
2D codes are smaller, and therefore appropriate for smaller items
1D barcodes can only be read by specialised scanners. 2D codes can be read by a wider range of devices, including smartphone and tablet cameras, and can also be transmitted by SMS between devices.
What is RFID?
RFID is an alternative technology for identification and tracking. It uses a tiny radio frequency identification tag with encoded data and the capability to transmit that data. Tags may have their own power source (active tags) or may briefly get power from the radio frequency scan of the reader (passive tags).
Although not new, the cost of RFID technology has limited its take up in volume applications. But the benefits over barcode labels, particularly not having to have line of sight for reading and the ability to stand up to the rigours of the logistics environment mean that it has become a viable and more widely used alternative to barcode technology in the world of supply chain management.
