PBSP supports TB control in BARMM
PR Jun 07, 2019 577 views
PBSP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Reynaldo Antonio D. Laguda recognizes the efforts of healthcare providers who work hard to implement the TB program in the BARMM region, during the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between Philippine Business for Social Progress and the Ministry of Health at the MOH-BARMM office in Cotabato City.
The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the Ministry of Health in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MOH-BARMM) reaffirmed its partnership to strengthen the implementation of the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP).
PBSP and MOH-BARMM recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that enables them to continue to work together to support the Department of Health (DOH- NTP) in the execution of the Philippine Strategic TB Elimination Plan.
WORKING TO END TB PBSP has been supporting the MOH-BARMM through the provision of laboratory supplies and equipment, the hiring and deployment of competent medical and non-medical staff; and the conduct of regular monitoring and random on-site verification and validation of both programmatic and financial reports.
The organization also provides technical and funding support in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Programmatic Management of Drug Resistant TB (PMDT), TB-HIV and TB Community TB Care and Prevention (TBCP) activities, and gives feedback and recommendations based on the results of these activities.
The MOH-BARMM, on the other hand, performs services as a Regional NTP Manager, a PMDT Treatment Facility, an Xpert Site, a TB Culture Center, an HIV Treatment Hub and an Administrative and Finance Overseer. It also ensures the continuous implementation of the TB Program and safeguards all equipment, fixed assets, office supplies, medical supplies, and other properties of the Program.
BARMM Minister of Health Dr. Saffrullah M. Dipatuan lauded the partnership, which he believes signifies renewed action to fight the challenges and he reiterated the Ministry's commitment to address the TB problem in the entire region.
"We cannot just sleep at night comfortably or sit in our offices knowing that hundreds and even thousands of people are getting ill, or worse, dying with this condition," Dr. Dipatuan said.
In 2018, there were over 170 notified TB cases and more than 100 MDR-TB cases in the BARMM. The challenges in the implementation of the TB program include low case detection, increasing rate of lost to follow-up cases, and the low utilization of GeneXpert machines.
MOH-BARMM's Technical Division Chief Dr. Sadaila K. Raki-in expressed gratitude to PBSP for the partnership which helps contribute to the country's overall goal to end TB.
"PBSP through the years have helped us and never abandoned the MOH-BARMM. PBSP has been with us in supporting the TB Program even before 2015…Our focus is to end TB and there will be a time that TB will only be part of history. We must be thankful that we have been part of the legacy to end TB," Dr. Raki-in said.
Meanwhile, PBSP Executive Director Reynaldo Antonio D. Laguda recognized the efforts of the healthcare providers in the implementation of the TB control program.
"Our work in TB control began in 2015. And in the last four years, despite it being challenging, we are also happy to say that the people under Dr. Ampatuan have really been trying to beat the odds in the BARMM. The challenge for us is the way we expand the work we do," he said.
PBSP INTERVENTIONS IN BARMM
TB Control is one just of the many initiatives of PBSP in the BARMM. Among its other projects include the conduct of Safe Motherhood Caravans to teach women of reproductive age life-saving maternal and child health information, as well as the Creating Spaces Project with Oxfam Canada, which helps change attitude, behavior and systems to reduce violence against women and girls, including child, early and forced marriages. For the past 18 years, PBSP has served as one of the key players in TB control management in the Philippines, having cemented its solid experience and expertise in managing projects as subcontractor and later as principal recipient through funding from major donors like the United States Agency for International Development, United Way Worldwide and The Global Fund. To date, PBSP continues to partner with the DOH-NTP in its goal to end TB in the country

'Essence of Cessna' | on success
By pinklightsabre on September 13, 2017 • ( 12 )
Thirty-one years ago the film Pretty in Pink came out. We watched it on Netflix but didn't remember anything: not Andrew McCarthy's flickering eyes, nor Molly Ringwald's quivering lips. Nor the scene with the two of them in a library on a computer where she doesn't realize it's him writing to her until his picture appears onscreen and the two of them stand and smile (he was sitting opposite her the whole time!), and they make plans to go out. It was the '80s, it felt safe. The internet was just another toy, more of an idea. We had some halo from the '70s still.
I was stringing together low-skill jobs managing tills at 16, restocking shelves. I graduated college and avoided traditional ideas of success. I thought to do art you had to suffer, so I temped in factories, flagged for construction crews, delivered pizzas, quit when they offered me advancement, moved away. My success was a precious, personal thing: a fortune cookie promise I imagined but couldn't put into words.
I moved to France after they offered me a promotion at work. I stalled out in Pennsylvania temping again, tried to grow a beard. I hand wrote love letters to a girl I liked but didn't love, because she liked my writing. And then I came back and got tired, settled into a job, began a career, bought a house…sold it, went back to Europe, returned to the States to work, quit, went back to Europe again.
We drove down to the fair, in Puyallup. We hadn't been to the fair since Lily was in first grade: we'd either been too busy in past years, or were in Germany. As we pulled into town and followed the signs for parking, I asked the girls if they remembered it and they said they did, but I wasn't so sure.
Lily bought a T-shirt of the Walt Disney princess Ariel flexing her bicep, but the T-shirt designs are perversions of the Disney characters so Ariel's got spider web tats and she's wearing a Tennessee Whisky shirt that says something about mash. (She wanted the one with Snow White, who looks like she's holding a bomb, but it's an apple fashioned as a bowl/pipe she's trying to light.)
Dawn and I stood off to the side while the two of them waited in line for the wooden roller coaster. The wait time is deceptive; you get into the queue and think it leads right up to the ride, but there's an area around the back that winds tight like a small intestine and stretches out for miles, and it took a good hour for them to get through.
We only had three hours planned to be at the fair and the ride took maybe 45 seconds, but they'd use an hour just waiting to get on. And I thought with their instant gratification mindset it would drive them nuts but it didn't, and when they got off they were exhilarated, and went off to buy cotton candy and lemonade.
There was time for just one more ride and Charlotte wanted me to go with her on the spinning, upside-down thing. We got in the air and it sped up, and I thought about the blind bourbon tasting from the night before, all we ate and drank, the Taiwanese Scotch…and my stomach turned, I blanched as we made our way off, and felt markedly older.
Dawn seems out of sorts with her work, wants more recognition or status, needs to find a place to park her success. The need for success gets co-mingled with identity, ego, pride, and self-worth. As a consultant mine is now split, to where my success is in my client's ability to feel good about her work and me supporting her: and my ego/pride/identity can park itself elsewhere, in my writing. Our idea of success should grow with us, and vice versa.
Lily and her friends got tossed out of the Sherwin-Williams for playing with the color wheel. They said if you're not going to buy anything you have to leave. The divisions start early: the demarcations and crude lines of authority, commerce, caste, the reality of fools in charge, the injustice. Our success is a sliver of a dream we keep like a talisman, ours to protect and enjoy.
In that movie, the scenes with Molly Ringwald working the record store, there's posters in the background of UB40, The Smiths…bugs trapped in amber, the moment: we cherish our time and bottle it like a wish, a message on a distant shore we hope someone will answer. Our success is both enjoying what we have now and imagining what we will later.

Another fine piece. Living on the bubble. And, of course, one can never go wrong with a roller-coaster, metaphor-wise. Our school is doing a run today after classes, and I was tempted to wear the T-shirt my son gave me, I think as a joke. It says "LIT." But I'm getting too old for this shirt.
Right, good, thanks. I know, on the rollercoaster metaphor, could say the same for waiting in the queue, and it all goes by so fast! Ha! Enjoy the day, thanks for reading. Happy almost-fall. Bill
I don't remember no internet in the '80s … but I do remember Molly's quivering lips.
She does that little tremor well, and is a convincing crier.
and what we have now is the upside down spinning thrill ride and we imagine and then realize the return of the bourbon and thai food not that much later –
Just not as young no more, not able to take those rides the same. But didn't spew at least!
I remember internet in the 80s, you had to put the phone into the rubber thingies on the modem and call the bulletin boards directly, and you could punch in pretty much any four numbers as a Sprint access code to avoid the long distance charges. Those were the days. Don't remember that in the movie though. Just a young, creepy James Spader at his youngest and perhaps creepiest, and the Psychedelic Furs. That's definitely a movie trapped in amber. I like looking at it and hearing the music but I can do without the movie part of it, if you know what I mean.
The movie was pleasing as seen through the eyes of our kids, I'll say that. And what you could imagine as a reflection of who we were then, in a manner of speaking. Man Spader is good. And Harry Dean Stanton! And Dice Man! And cameo by…Dweezil Zappa!?
It's true, isn't it? Art = suffering. Why is that? How did we get here?
Maybe that's the perversion of the mind necessary to want to.
Dave Ply
I've never really bought into the idea that you have to suffer to create art. Sure, suffering creates grist and art an venue to grind it, but inspiration and creativity do not require suffering. Likewise, success is more a question of personal perspective than whether the throngs lay adoring at your feet (unless you have a ridiculous ego).
Yes, to the suffering: I think it's a younger definition of that, is what I felt at the time. There's an element of the blues to that too I wanted to convey (that's genuine I think, and related). And that also depends on your spectrum of art, and where you fall. I identified with a quasi-beat persona that was blue collar and "rugged." So I tried to garner that without any credible reason, to try it on and see if it would yield similar results as writers who lived that life or feigned it. I think your view of success is advanced and what I aspire to, of personal perspective:as again younger, we put our definitions of it in others' view of us, and relinquish our power/potential that way. God, that's enough. Have a beer with me in the back yard Dave.

The VIHASA programmes are generally well received in India but the feedback this time was even more enthusiastic than usual, the participants asking for more and regular sessions.
Jointly organized by The Global Hospital and Research Centre (GHRC), Mt Abu and the Brahma Kumaris Medical Wing, the modules Positivity and Values were delivered to a group of 120 students and tutors of the Sanjeevani College of Nursing in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
"This is a new experience for me and it helped me to understand myself and to know the spiritual values."
"I will definitely apply these qualities in my life and always think positive..."
"We learnt the importance being cheerful in any situation whilst caring for patients."
On the 24 March 2012, trainers from The Global Hospital and Research Centre (GHRC) ran the Values and Co-operation modules to a mixed group of 40, students and tutors from The Vispute Nursing College and nursing staff from The Neel Endoscopic Clinic, Panval, Maharashtra.
The next day the team ran the Values module for another 60 students at the Vispute Pharmacy College. Some tutors who had attended on previous day,enjoyed the programme so much that they decided to join in again.
It was the first time they had experienced putting values into practice in their day to day routine: "I learnt how to teach in a playful manner and I will do the same with my students so that the studies become easy for them."


At the time of writing this article I cannot really recall why I started out on this project in the first place. Maybe, because some time ago I was experimenting with the built-in analogue-digital converters of some PIC micros and was thinking that they could be used easily to interface the analogue output of an accelerometer… Maybe I saw something similar on a web site and thought I could make a better one… I don't know. What I do know is that I like projects that involve LEDs (especially blue ones, preferably flashing most of the time :) ), interfacing with real world, and projects that teach me something new. So… one day I decided to make a 3 axis accelerometer – to see if I can make it – that could be used (as is or with slight modifications) in real life applications. I tried it in a car - it works great there, but at the moment I just have it sitting on my desk to entertain visitors.
If you like this project and would like to build it yourself all the necessary information on it is below. If you don't feel adventurous enough to build it yourself but still would like to have it I can prepare you a kit or a fully built unit – drop me a line for more info.
The direction-sensing is accomplished by Freescale's MMA7361L, which is a three axis low-g micromachined accelerometer in a tiny (14 pin LGA) package. The advantage of this chip is that it's super simple to use: just connect the three directional output pins to an analog-digital converter input of a microcontroller and you're ready to go. With a few more pins connected straight to some further microcontroller IO pins you can enhance its operation with functions like SLEEP, 0g detection, sensitivity selection, etc. The disadvantage of this chip is that it's in a tiny package that's a bit difficult to solder at home. In fact, I tried to make a breakout board for it, but it doesn't seem to work. I think I made the solder pads too small for the IC and this is why it doesn't work, but I still have to find out why. In the meantime, I got a breakout board complete with the sensor on eBay for a few euros to keep me going. That worked like a charm for the very first try.
The processing is done in Microchip's PIC16F887. I chose this micro for this project because I had worked with it in the past and I could get my hands on a few of them in a 44 pin TQFP packaging – another challenge for me. I had never soldered this small pitch ICs before and wanted to try my hands at them. It turned out it was not difficult at all – I used the some-solder-and-a-lot-of-flux method with superb results.
Bottom side - it containd a socket that is aligned with the display module's connector.
Coming up with a nice way of displaying the directional data was not an easy task. I came up with several different layouts – all had pros and contras. Finally I decided having a cross (showing up/down and left/right data) and line (showing forward/backward data) combo made up of blue SMT LEDs. (I just love blue…) The resolution of the displayed data is 8 LED in every direction which adds up to 48 LEDs total. The resolution of the measured data is much higher, but it is not necessary in my application, so in firmware I simply discard the extra information. Since I made my design modular I can later design a new display module for the same "CPU board" without redesigning the whole board or changing the firmware. If you can think of any layout that would look better please let me know in the comments section.
Only the 48 LEDs and the realted resistors (all SMD) on this side of the board.
The 48 LEDs in the current formation are driven by 6 daisy-chained serial-in-parallel-out shift registers (one for each segment) using only 3 pins of the microcontroller. This is a very efficient use of microcontroller IO lines and easy to program since it doesn't need constant refreshing.
I also added a buzzer (recycled from an old motherboard) to the design – its sole purpose is to beep when the device is in 0g, or free fall. I really don't expect to hear it very often when this circuit is mounted in a car… but in other applications this might get useful. Anyway, I put it in the design because I could :-).
The circuit doesn't contain any stabilization for input voltage – I planned on using a 12V DC -> 5V DC converter. I put a standard USB micro socket on my board, so any USB car charger for mobile phones or GPSs would be OK to power this device.
Finally, the mandatory ICSP header is also aboard for easy development.
As I consider myself a beginner with PICs, programming was done in assembly so that I learn the most about the microcontroller. The source and/or the hex file is available upon request.
As usual, making a nice and useful enclosure for the circuit was the most difficult part of the project. Originally, I wanted a dark plastic panel for the front so that the circuit is not visible only the lit up LEDs. After an extensive search on the internet as well as local stores I realized this is not going to happen. I still don't understand what is so special about this material – it is used in millions of common everyday items, such as car dashboards, TV/video/dvd player displays etc. If you can recommend a place to me that sells these dark, semi-transparent pieces of plastic sheets in small quantities (and ship to Greece) please let me know.
Back of the display module - all parts soldered in.
From bottom to top: Display module, control module, MMA7361 breakout board - all sandwiched together.
I will not see comments left on other sites that might feature this article, so if you want me to read your comments, please leave them here. I love receiving comments on my projects and I always answer them.
Nicely done Vitya! Do you make your own PCBs or send off for them? I was initially put off by SMT as being too hard but I'm starting to warm up to it.
I used to, but not anymore. I find it difficult to get all the chemicals I would need these days and I can also get more consistent quality and more features (like silk screen) when I outsource it to professionsals.
To do SMT work you only need a good set of magnifying glasses and a steady hand. I switched to SMT because it's a lot cheaper than TTH as the parts and the necessary PCB area are both cheaper.
How much does it cost to get the boards made?
Please send me a private mail or leave your e-mail address here for details.
can u provide ur program?
can u provide ur e-mail?
sir,thanks 4 ur reply... we are working on a gps gsm based project.. Is there a command for writing a character array using UART in mikroC pro for pic16f877a???
Sorry, I don't use MikroC. Why don't you check out its documentation?
Hi, I am currently doing a project about wii motion plus to control servo.
can i have your source code for refering?
I can sure send you the sources for this project but I can sure you that there is nothing in it about I2C.. Are you sure about it?
sir do you have code in c??
Nope, I wrote it in assembly.

Nirvana 'Nevermind' Baby Suing Band for Child Pornography + Sexual Exploitation
Joe DiVita Published: August 25, 2021
Spencer Elden, the man who was photographed as a nude, four-month-old baby and pictured on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind album, is now suing the band for child sexual exploitation and also claims that the image is deemed child pornography.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in the Central District of California "for damages arising out of each of the Defendant's violations of federal criminal child pornography statutes," per court documents that were uploaded to Scribd by Pitchfork News.
Elden, who posed for photos in 2016 to recreate the album cover for its 25th anniversary, is being represented by Robert Y. Lewis of Marsh Law Firm PLLC, an attorney who specializes in the areas of child pornography, crime victim's rights, criminal restitution, copyright and Title IX.
The totality of the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit include Nirvana LLC, Universal Music Group, Inc., The David Geffen Company, Geffen Records, Warner Records, Inc., MCA Music, Inc., Kirk Weddle, Kurt Cobain (deceased), Courtney Love (as executor of the Estate of Kurt Cobain), Heather Parry (as manager of the Estate of Kurt Cobain), Gus Oseary (as manager of the Estate of Kurt Cobain), Krist Novoselic, Chad Channing, Dave Grohl and Robert Fisher.
Elden is seeking to recover $150,000 in addition to the cost of the action of the lawsuit, which includes attorney's fees and other costs. "The Court may also award punitive damages and grant such other preliminary and equitable relief as the Court determines to be appropriate," states the documents.
The papers also note that the band and its affiliates knowingly produced "child pornography" by using the image of Elden seen on the cover of the landmark 1991 record and had intent to distribute it internationally and receive value in return and that no steps were taken to prevent "widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking."
The album covers of Scorpions' Virgin Killer, Blind Faith's self-titled album and Van Halen's Balance were also used as a point of reference to other instances where "sexually explicit material depicting a child or outright child pornography" were used in concept and creation of "controversial campaigns" used as a vehicle for promotion.
It is alleged that neither Elden nor his legal guardians signed a released authorizing the use of the images taken during the photo shoot that resulted in the Nevermind cover art. Cobain is also said to have agreed to partially cover up the nudity on the photograph with intentions to place a sticker over the genitals that read, "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile," but the sticker was never applied to the cover.
"The permanent harm [Elden] has proximately suffered includes but is not limited to extreme and permanent emotional distress with physical manifestations, interference with his normal development and educational progress, lifelong loss of income earning capacity, loss of past and future wages, past and future expenses for medical and psychological treatment, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses to be described and proven at trial of this matter," states a portion of the lawsuit.
Read the full 35-page lawsuit here.
Nevermind was released on Sept. 24, 1991, and has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

Experts at the Table, part 1: What kind of processing is required for inferencing, what is the best architecture, and can they be debugged?
July 17th, 2018 - By: Ann Steffora Mutschler
Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about what is needed today to enable artificial intelligence training and inferencing with Manoj Roge, vice president, strategic planning at Achronix; Ty Garibay, CTO at Arteris IP; Chris Rowen, CEO of Babblelabs; David White, distinguished engineer at Cadence; Cheng Wang, senior VP engineering at Flex Logix; and Raik Brinkmann, president and CEO of OneSpin. What follows are excerpts of that conversation.
L-R: Manoj Roge, Ty Garibay, Chris Rowen, David White, Cheng Wang, Raik Brinkmann
SE: How do we get AI into use as quickly as possible? Obviously inferencing is a huge part of it. What is the best way to understand it?
Rowen: The relevant things about understanding the basic idea of deep learning or neural networks is that you have a large, trainable, mathematical model of some hidden system and instead of programming the behavior of this complicated function, you train the behavior of this complex function by providing lots of examples. Typically millions of examples for a large number of inputs. What's the right answer? What is the way the function should behave? The mechanisms of deep learning automatically train that function so that it becomes a very effective mimic of whatever it is you're trying to model: the human brain, the behavior of physics, whatever it is. And, there are really two distinct dimensions of such a thing in real use.
First, there is the training process where you iteratively and exhaustively keep exposing this network to those inputs and gradually evolve the mathematical function so that it matches as closely as possible. That typically is a very compute intensive task. It requires heavy duty compute under most circumstances. It's often done in the cloud, today it's often done on a GPUs because the software's there and the compute resources are there. But when you put it to work, you don't need to iteratively train it, you just evaluate the function. So you just provide the inputs, its already trained, and it produces its best approximation of the right answer. It's deterministic. It is a computational function, which is actually conceptually very simple. It's usually a kind of a layer cake of multiplies and adds and nonlinear functions and you go through layer after layer of this, but it's highly deterministic. It's conceptually simple, computationally hard, but it is something that you can run now in real time on lots of different kinds of hardware though enormous progress is being made on the hardware to make it even faster and even lower power and even cheaper.
Garibay: That's the key. What we're here to talk about is the rapid evolution of inference hardware in terms of, most critically, reducing the power consumption, given that a lot of inference where the real opportunity for dramatic growth in inference is at the edge where there's either battery constraints or thermal envelope constraints, the limitations for the most part on deploying inference in the millions and billions at the edge is in power efficiency.
White: I've been working in and out of the AI/machine learning space since the early 90s and there's a huge graveyard of products that people tried to apply machine learning and AI and that graveyard is a curse because it's fairly easy to come up with a great idea, and an algorithm, and to create cool prototype. And then you have this big chasm between there and scalable deployment of the product that uses machine learning. At least my observation, one of the reasons for that huge chasm — and there's a chasm with everything that you buy, especially with machine learning and AI — and it's because a lot of the solutions are very deterministic, and I think the key to success is being able to build in flexibility and adaptability and learning into these approaches. If you take the example of IoT, I've talked with IoT vendors and they can make a number of IoT sensors work perfectly in a lab. But you take them out of that lab and put them in a factory in the Philippines and all of these unforeseen environmental conditions impact those sensors that they never really envisioned. So, in general, building flexibility, adaptability into those systems is something that machine learning and deep learning have a lot of problems to do. At the same time, we have to get past the sort of thinking of learning as deterministic in terms of how we build real time learning and adaptive systems. I think that's going to be the real key parts of being able to better bridge that gap.
Wang: Are you saying to train at the same time that inference is performed because inference by nature is a non-deterministic outcome? Training, on the other hand, is hugely complex.
Garibay: One of the things that I think is going to have to happen is we have to be able to tune the training, to some extent, on site. There's algorithmic work being done to figure out how I do the base-level training and then add on without having to redo it all.
Wang: If you are wrong, how do you correct and add to the training?
White: There are two different ways to do it. There are people that will do a local calibration or retraining onsite to the environment conditions, but the conditions in the factory, for example, are always going to be changing. So I see there's larger promise of building systems that can expand adapt.
SE: Where should these algorithms be run? On the edge, or in the cloud?
Roge: First, as has been said already, there are two components, training and inference. Then you've got to add another dimension which is, do you do it in the cloud, where you'd get a lot more compute power, or do you do it on the edge? For edge, there would have to be two criteria why you'd want to do it on edge. One is availability of the network bandwidth, and second, is the real-time aspect. Like in autonomous driving, you can't wait. You have to sense the real-time traffic conditions; even a fraction of a second could lead to an accident so even the training would need to happen at the edge. Another good example is the factory. All of these mission-critical systems must be trained on the edge. The way we look at it, and we will get into the architectures, is there will be use cases where you need to do training on the edge that will get into the precision requirement, and things like that. You may not need a double precision floating point and things like that, whereas for a lot of complex in the cloud, you may need that kind of precision, and GPUs are good at it.
Today's landscape is that GPUs are primarily used for training, and CPUs for inference in the cloud, but that's going to change, we'll get into the next topic, which is on the architecture, and what you need for inference.
Brinkmann: You touched on the choice for inference between being on the edge or being in the cloud. I want to add there is one more vector that you need to consider why you would perform the inference on the edge is privacy and security. It is a big concern that the data actually the leaves your premises and goes through whatever channel into some other premises. You may want to keep the raw data local for that reason, not just because of bandwidth limitations or latency, which is a big concern. It's also the privacy and security of the data this is the primary problem in some applications, so one more reason maybe to look at the edge.
Garibay: It's definitely the marketing case for our friends at Wave Computing. We'll see if it takes.
Rowen: There's also fundamental bandwidth reasons, and cost reasons that, especially when you look at high data rate sensors, and cameras are the poster child for high data rate. You simply cannot imagine that the world's 20 billion CMOS sensors are all going to send their data to the cloud. You do the arithmetic on it, whether it's network bandwidth or cloud storage or cloud compute, you definitely get the wrong answer. So it's quite clear for all of the reasons: latency, privacy, security, cost, power that at least some of the process, and in fact most of the computational cycles have to take place closer to the edge for these high data rate devices. If you have a thermometer that produces a byte every minute, it doesn't matter where you do it. But when you talk about video processing, and to a lesser extent audio, you have a have a whole force of gravity which is pulling that back towards the edge.
Roge: I just wanted to give some statistics on a point that Chris made. There will be 30 to 50 billion connected devices by 2020. And today, less than a percent of that data is analyzed, that these connected devices spew out. There is going to be a lot of data; it is doubling every two years; and it's just not economical to send it to the cloud to process when there are processors at the edge.
Brinkmann: One interesting trend that I wanted to add on this inference side is that you see inference being performed on the same data in different ways. If you're going to the edge as an example, if you have a particular sensor to prevent someone breaking into your house or a sensor that should actually recognize specific people, you don't want to run the inference algorithm of recognizing a specific person all the time, for power reasons, for example. So what you will have is a camera image sensor and you analyze the data to see if there's any movement there; it's a very simple thing. Once that is true, you kick off the next algorithm: is there actually a person, which is another algorithm which is maybe a little more power intensive than the first one. Once you see there is someone there, you run the face recognition, which is a lot more compute intensive and power intensive, but if you layer that up, you can actually run things like that on a battery for a very long time because you're not running constantly the very heavy influence algorithm; you layer that up, and that's an interesting approach where you can make this AI edge computing really something that you can deploy on a battery-based device. As there are so many billion connected devices, you have to power them, so I can't imagine having 20 million or 20 billion wires going all around the world to patch up all these little IoT devices; most of them will be battery powered, and that's where you come up with these kinds of solutions to say, okay, how can we extend the lifetime from a few days of battery life to a few weeks to 5 or 10 years.
SE: This relates to the architecture. Will there need to be specific architecture choices depending on where an algorithm is processed? What are the choices? What is the best way to think about the architecture approach?
Rowen: I have sort of a model, and it builds exactly on what Raik saying, which I would call cognitive hierarchy, which really says that at the bottom, you want as simple processing as you can because that's the always on part of it. Then, if that finds something of interest, where something of interest might be as simple as movement, it escalates to the next level which may be another process or another processor in the same chip which has a more sophisticated process that consumes more power per bit of data that goes into it, but it's called far less often. It then does a level of processing and so, even today, you may have three or four levels of that kind of process. The top of the pyramid may well live in the cloud because if it's face recognition, you only identify if something is really a face maybe twice a day, and even your battery powered device may be able to afford actually communicating with the outside world twice a day so you can have something where the goal is that you want a system that behaves as smart as the smartest element, and dissipates power like the smallest element, and hopefully not the other way.
I think this is the natural way that you think about the architecture. Then you get into the details of, for your given algorithm, what are those layers that you can identify and how obsessed are you about power? Because clearly today the hierarchical system is more complex to design than the monolithic system. And so if you're really pushing the envelope on either intelligence or power, you're going to be inclined to take special action, but especially if you're trying to save power or cost at the edge, I think this investment in building hierarchy is going to pay off and you'll see a lot more of it.
White: To Chris's point, the data that's most valuable will have to make its way to the cloud.
Garibay: From the hierarchy point of view, there's a hierarchy of the data as well. Part of the smarts, and one of the reasons that Intel bought Mobileye is that Mobileye is able to gather a large amount of driving data given their installed base, but how do they know which data is worth saving? It's the same problem Tesla has. There has to be enough processing in that car at the edge to say, 'Oh, that was interesting. Let's send that back to HQ because you can't be dumping the entire data set anymore so there's a hierarchy of data — very high bandwidth, close to the sensors, process, process, process, and then at each level, getting to lower and lower bandwidth and then making a choice to say, 'high bandwidth this or that' example of information that for some reason this edge device decided might be useful for the rest of time. Now the data center, the cloud may decide, 'I've seen that before. I don't need it.' But the edge device will make its own choice and try to optimize its use of the local bandwidth.

The bulk of the Earth is made from iron, oxygen, magnesium and silicon.
More than 80 chemical elements occur naturally in the Earth and its atmosphere.
The crust is made mostly from oxygen and silicon, with aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, titanium and traces of 64 other elements.
The upper mantle is made up of iron and magnesium silicates; the lower is silicon and magnesium sulphides and oxides.
The core is mostly iron, with a little nickel and traces of sulphur, carbon, oxygen and potassium.
Evidence for the Earth's chemistry comes from analyzing densities with the help of earthquake waves, and from studying stars, meteorites and other planets.
When the Earth was still semi-molten, dense elements such as iron sank to form the core. Lighter elements such as oxygen floated up to form the crust.
Some heavy elements, such as uranium, ended up in the crust because they easily make compounds with oxygen and silicon.
Large blobs of elements that combine easily with sulphur, such as zinc and lead, spread through the mantle.
Elements that combine with iron, such as gold and nickel, sank to the core.
This diagram shows the percentages of the chemical elements that make up the Earth. 215 Sulphur 2.7% Nickel 2.7% Calcium 0.6% Silicon 13% Aluminum 0.4% Magnesium 17%.
The Earth formed 4570 million years ago (mya) but the first animals with shells and bones appeared less than 600 mya. It is mainly with the help of their fossils that geologists have learned about the Earth's history since then. We know very little about the 4000 million years before, known as Precambrian Time.
Just as days are divided into hours and minutes, so geologists divide the Earth's history into time periods. The longest are eons, thousands of millions of years long. The shortest are chrons, a few thousand years long. In between come eras, periods, epochs and ages.
The years since Precambrian Time are split into three eras: Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.
Different plants and animals lived at different times, so geologists can tell from the fossils in rocks how long ago the rocks formed. Using fossils, they have divided the Earth's history since Precambrian Time into 11 periods.
Layers of rock form on top of each other, so the oldest rocks are usually at the bottom and the youngest at the top, unless they have been disturbed. The order of layers from top to bottom is known as the geological column.
By looking for certain fossils geologists can tell if one layer of rock is older than another.
Fossils can only show if a rock is older or younger than another; they cannot give a date in years. Also, many rocks contain no fossils. To give an absolute date, radiocarbon dating is used.
Radiocarbon dating allows the oldest rocks to be dated. After certain substances, such as uranium and rubidium, form in rocks, their atoms break down into different atoms. This sends out rays, or radioactivity. By assessing how many atoms in a rock have changed, geologists work out the rock's age.
Breaks in the sequence of the geological column are called unconformities.
The Earth's crust (see crust) is a thin hard outer shell of rock which is a few dozen kilometers thick.
Under the crust, there is a deep layer of hot soft rock called the mantle (see core and mantle).
The crust and upper mantle can be divided into three layers according to their rigidity: the lithosphere, the asthenosphere and the mesosphere.
Beneath the mantle is a core of hot iron and nickel. The outer core is so hot – climbing from 4500°C to 6000°C – that it is always molten. The inner core is even hotter (up to 7000°C) but it stays solid because the pressure is 6000 times greater than on the surface.
The inner core contains 1.7 percent of the Earth's mass, the outer core 30.8 percent; the core–mantle boundary 3 percent; the lower mantle 49 percent; the upper mantle 15 percent; the ocean crust 0.099 percent and the continental crust 0.374 percent.
Satellite measurements are so accurate they can detect slight lumps and dents in the Earth's surface. These indicate where gravity is stronger or weaker because of differences in rock density. Variations in gravity reveal things such as mantle plumes (see hot-spot volcanoes).
Our knowledge of the Earth's interior comes mainly from studying how earthquake waves move through different kinds of rock.
Analysis of how earthquake waves are deflected reveals where different materials occur in the interior. S (secondary) waves pass only through the mantle. P (primary) waves pass through the core as well. P waves passing through the core are deflected, leaving a shadow zone where no waves reach the far side of the Earth.
The speed of earthquake waves reveals how dense the rocky materials are. Cold, hard rock transmits waves more quickly than hot, soft rock.
The Solar System was created when the gas cloud left over from a giant supernova explosion started to collapse in on itself and spin.
About 4.55 billion years ago there was just a vast, hot cloud of dust and gas circling a new star, our Sun.
The Earth probably began when tiny pieces of space debris (called planetesimals) began to clump together, pulled together by each other's gravity.
As the Earth formed, more space debris kept on smashing into it, adding new material. This debris included ice from the edges of the Solar System.
About 4.5 billion years ago, a rock the size of Mars crashed into Earth. Splashes of material from this crash clumped together to form the Moon.
The collision that formed the Moon made the Earth very hot.
Radioactive decay heated the Earth even further.
For a long time the surface of the Earth was a mass of erupting volcanoes.
Iron and nickel melted and sank to form the core.
Aluminum, oxygen and silicon floated up and cooled to form the crust.
Rotation is the normal motion (movement) of most space objects. Rotate means 'spin'.
Stars spin, planets spin, moons spin and galaxies spin — even atoms spin.
Moons rotate around planets, and planets rotate around stars.
The Earth rotates once every 23.93 hours. This is called its rotation period.
We do not feel the Earth's rotation — that it is hurtling around the Sun, while the Sun whizzes around the galaxy — because we are moving with it.
Things rotate because they have kinetic (movement) energy. They cannot fly away because they are held in place by gravity, and the only place they can go is round.
The fastest rotating planet is Saturn, which turns right around once every 10.23 hours.
The slowest rotating planet is Venus, which takes 243.01 days to turn round.
The Sun takes 25.4 days to rotate, but since the Earth is going around it too, it seems to take 27 days.
The study of the shape of the Earth is called geodesy. In the past, geodesy depended on ground-based surveys. Today, satellites play a major role.
The Earth is not a perfect sphere. It is a unique shape called a geoid, which means 'Earth shaped'.
The Earth spins faster at the Equator than at the Poles, because the Equator is farther from the Earth's spinning axis.
The extra speed of the Earth at the Equator flings it out in a bulge, while it is flattened at the Poles.
Equatorial bulge was predicted in 1687 by Isaac Newton.
The equatorial bulge was confirmed 70 years after Newton – by French surveys in Peru by Charles de La Condamine, and in Lapland by Pierre de Maupertuis.
The Earth's diameter at the Equator is 12,758 km. This is larger, by 43 km, than the vertical diameter from North Pole to South Pole.
The official measurement of the Earth's radius at the Equator is 6,376,136 m plus or minus 1 m.
The Lageos (Laser Geodynamic) satellite launched in 1976 has measured gravitational differences with extreme precision. It has revealed bumps up to 100 m high, notably just south of India.
The Seasat satellite confirmed the ocean surfaces are geoid. It took millions of measurements of the height of the ocean surface, accurate to within a few centimeters.

Now the Republican spin doctors are saying they wouldn't cut the 700 billion dollars that supposedly Obama would cut. Are Republicans saying they would spend more on Medicare? More on the military, but not raise taxes? So much for reducing the deficit.
My head spins with all the numbers being thrown around anyway. Like get this. Republicans say they wouldn't change Medicare for folks over 55. Well, nobody knows who is going to be over 55 when changes get implemented anyway. It can take years to get stuff through the process so today's college students may be over 55 before long. It's all a moving target.
Still there is the problem of making Medicare sustainable. It is hard to beat Medicare for efficiency of insurance paper shuffle. Medicare has a higher percent of dollars actually going to health care rather than administrative overhead. Higher than private insurers, so I hear.
Where there really needs to be change is where few politicians like to look; in the lifestyles of the American people. Reducing overall medical costs with better lifestyles and less obesity. Also less obesity in doctor and and insurance company executive pay.
Obesity and demographics, that's what's challenging the sustainability of our Medicare program. Things that just reorganizing the plan doesn't really address.
Most of the people main priority to medicare services, So why they are cutting down.

China plans tougher standards for imported Canadian canola
China plans to toughen its standard for imported Canadian canola from 1 April, reducing the amount of foreign material it allows per shipment, Reuters reports.
China's quarantine authority, AQSIQ, notified the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on 1 March that it would soon allow no more than 1% dockage, or the amount of foreign material per canola shipment, according to Canola Council of Canada President Patti Miller.
The current allowable dockage range was 2-2.5% and the new standard would be difficult and costly for Canadian exporters to meet, said a Canadian-based canola exporter in the Reuters report.
Foreign material can include seeds of other plants or straw that gets inadvertently mixed with the shipment.
Although China had expressed renewed concerns since December about the possible presence of the blackleg fungus in shipments, exporters suspected its motivation for slowing imports was linked to ample domestic inventories, the exporter said.
China was holding about 5.8M tonnes of rapeseed oil following years of stockpiling, the report said.
According to Reuters, China was the biggest importer of Canadian canola during the 2014/15 crop year – with Statistics Canada data showing it bought 4.1M tonnes – and Canada was the world's biggest canola exporter.

Tumbled lapis lazuli having pyrite (yellow) crystals
Lapis Lazuli is a blue, greenish blue or purple blue rock with complex mixture of several minerals. It is also called lazurite in Badakhshan, Afghanistan. It is extensively used for making beads, rings, earrings and necklaces.
Lapis Lazuli is known for its royal blue color which is the most expensive blue stone of all. The most pleasuring color of lapis lazuli comes from Afghanistan (middle-east), popularly known as Afghan blue in trade. In Afghanistan several mosques walls are decorated with this stone. Argentinian lapis lazuli is also of a high quality. A pale blue variety occurs in the former USSR and in Chile Lapis lazuli from the USA is a darker shade of blue; Canadian specimens are lighter blue.
The structure of lapis lazuli includes veins of calcite (generally white in color) and yellow metallic pyrite crystals. Price of a lapis lazuli can be determined by its natural royal blue color, with or without crystals of calcite and pyrite. Lapis Lazuli barely having any crystals / veins of calcite but having crystals / veins of pyrite generally has a higher price.
Lapis Lazuli has been imitated by dyed sodalite, stained jasper, and by paste with inclusions of copper. Imitations lapis lazuli is also produced by Pierre Gilson in France, and has a very similar composition to natural lapis lazuli.
It is believed that lapis lazuli is one of the most powerful stones; it increases awareness, creativity, the skeletal system, and thyroid, unlocks mysteries, and helps to open one's mind. It has been worn in the belief that it will protect the wearer from evil.
Lapis Lazuli Pictures
The blue color is due to a combination of the blue minerals sodalite, noselite and lazurite.

Question: If she can destroy Ares with her hands then why does she even need a sword and shield? Perhaps for merchandise?
Rob245
Answer: For the majority of the movie, Diana believes the sword to be the only weapon capable of killing Ares. She doesn't realise until she fights him that the sword is just an ordinary weapon and thus, useless against a god. She carries the shield because it is useful. She uses it in combat most prominently to block gunfire.

Carnival Cruise Line Waives Cancellation Fees Through Mid-January
Carnival Cruise Line is giving passengers booked on sailings between now and January 14th an opportunity to reschedule or cancel their trip without paying cancellation fees.
Masks Required Indoors
Impacted guests received a letter from Carnival Cruise Line's president Christine Duffy. The communication goes into great detail regarding current protocols and other pressing matters.
"We are carefully monitoring the situation with the Omicron variant," it reads, "and have taken steps to strengthen our protocols."
The letter then outlines exactly what's being done onboard, as well as what's expected of guests. Clearly, the line wants to make sure those who choose to sail are aware of what life on board will look like.
"As a reminder, all our crew wear masks at all times, are fully vaccinated, and are receiving booster shots when eligible," it reads. It adds that "nearly all" passengers are vaccinated, and that anyone two or older must present a negative COVID test before boarding.
READ: Is The Casino Smoking Ban Here to Stay?
Masking-wise, the letter spells out that "guests are required to wear masks indoors at all times" unless in their stateroom or "actively" eating or drinking.
Carnival also recommends "guests use higher-grade masks indoors… that have two or more layers, completely cover the nose and mouth, fit snugly against the sides of the face and have a nose wire."
Addressing a very recent change, they remind that for now, "There is no smoking allowed in the casino."
No Compensation for Skipped Ports
Carnival Vista docked in Grand Turk
Despite the stringent protocols put in place, the letter acknowledges that "it is possible we will have some positive cases" on board.
This has, of course, proven true for dozens of ships across all of the major cruise lines. "Should that happen, we are prepared to actively manage the situation, protect guest and crew health, and operate your cruise."
One thing Carnival has limited control over is port availability. "We want you to know that we may encounter a decision by local authorities at a destination to limit or deny the ship from entering the port," the missive explains. Should a port deny entry, Carnival says they will "do our best to find an alternative destination."
READ MORE: What Cruisers Absolutely Must Do
If, however, they wind up having to spend the day at sea as opposed to visiting a port, "there will be no compensation for a missed port."
They will, of course, refund shore excursions that were pre-purchased through Carnival.
Cancellation Fees Waived
"We recognize that given the circumstances, some of our guests may want to consider sailing at a different time," Duffy concludes.
Should that prove true for anyone traveling between now and January 14th, Carnival will work with guests to rebook their trip or process a full refund.
No cancellation fees will be charged during this period.
There's no word on whether this same offer will be made to guests sailing after January 14th.
It seems likely, however, that decisions regarding future sailings will be made based on how the current health crisis evolves between now and then.
On December 29, Royal Caribbean announced that it would also be waiving cancellation fees through mid-January.

Bicycle Safety • Do not push your child to ride a 2-wheeled bike without training wheels until he or she is ready. Consider the child's coordination and desire to learn to ride. Stick with coaster (foot) brakes until your child is older and more experienced for hand brakes. Consider a balance bike with no pedals for young children to learn riding skills. • Take your child wit you when you shop for the bike, so that he or she can try it out. The value of a properly fitting bike far outweighs the value of surprising your child with a new one. Buy a bike that is the right size, not one your child has to "grow into." Oversized bikes are especially dangerous. • Your child needs to wear a helmet on every bike ride, no matter how short or how close to home. Many injuries happen in driveways, on sidewalks, and on bike paths, not just on streets. Children learn best by observing you. Set the example: Whenever you ride, put on your helmet. • When purchasing a helmet, look for a label or sticker that says the helmet meets the CPSC safety standard. • A helmet protects your child from serious injury, and should always be worn. And remember, wearing a helmet at all times helps children develop the helmet habit. • A helmet should be worn so that it is level on the head and covers the forehead, not tipped forward or backwards. The strap should be securely fastened with about 2 fingers able to fit between chin and strap. The helmet should be snug on the head, but not overly tight. Skin should move with the helmet when moved side to side. If needed, the helmet's sizing pads can help improve the fit.


I had bought my 2 year old daughter this shoe but in the color white/pink (must be discontinued) but it's such a shame that they don't have larger shoes because it only goes up to the size 23. But now my daughter wears size 24 and I really wanted to get her another pair of this style because it's perfect for when she's outdoors because they secure her foot/ankle since they are "high tops". This style does run a little big (at least for my daughter) cause she's currently a size 24 in other styles but she still fits in this style in the size 23. I'm just glad she can still wear them & hopefully (fingers crossed) Pediped can up the size in this style because I would definitely order this style again.
are these shoes stiff around the ankles to offer more ankle support?
Hi Courtney, Thank you for your question. These are snug on the ankles for great fit and support.
I'm confused...are only the blue and brown styles vegan?!
I am sending these to my daughter out of town. Guessing on size. What is your exchange policy?

Wellington, Sept 9 NZPA – A Lower Hutt man accused of stealing a car and petrol, then leading police on a high-speed chase had his sentencing delayed when he appeared in Taupo District Court today.
Regan Shannon McKinley, 20, of Petone, pleaded guilty to 14 charges when he appeared before Judge James Rota in Taupo District Court last month.
He was then remanded for sentencing this week, but today that was put back to September 23.
McKinley stole a Subaru Impreza and then $105 worth of petrol from BP Geyser in Rotorua on August 10.
He later refused to get out of the vehicle after being stopped by police on State Highway 5, north of Taupo. He sped off, striking Constable Janine O'Connor on the knee and was chased for 40km at speeds up to 170kmh.
After road spikes deflated three tyres on the car, he drove another 9km before being stopped and arrested.
Ms O'Connor suffered minor bruising and a sore left knee but did not require medical help.
McKinley was found to have a breath alcohol reading of 476mcg of alcohol per litre of breath. The legal limit is 400mcg.
He also faces numerous charges from courts in Taupo, Tauranga and Lower Hutt.
Judge Chris McGuire today indicated McKinley could expect to receive 12 months home detention, a further disqualification from driving and reparation.
He described McKinley's actions as a "Bonnie and Clyde episode which was serious, reckless, dangerous and seriously criminal".
