GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
A ground fault circuit interrupter, called a GFCI or GFI, is an inexpensive electrical switchgear device that can either be installed in your electrical system or built into a power cord to protect you from severe electrical shocks.
Electric shocks can cause severe injury or even death. Even exposure to current as low as 100 ma current for only 2 seconds can cause death. GFCIs have played a key role in reducing electrocutions.
GFCIs protect you from electrocution by sensing minute leakages of current and shutting off the flow of electricity in 1/40th of a second. They are one of the low voltage switchgear just like a miniature circuit breaker.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are now required in many locations where you might be using electrical devices in moist conditions: bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages, and outside your home.
Greater use of GFCIs could further reduce electrocutions and mitigate thousands of electrical burn and shock injuries still occurring in and around the home each year.
Since GFCI detects ground faults, it can also prevent some electrical fires and reduce the severity of other fires by interrupting the flow of electric current.
GFCI is known by different names all around the world. The table below shows some of these names and where these names are used.
GFCI Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter	 North America
RCD Residual Current Device Europe / Australia
RCCB Residual Current Circuit Breaker Europe / Asia
RCBO Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent Protection Europe
ELCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker Asia
Charles Daiziel the professor of the University of California invented the modern ground fault circuit interrupter in 1961. Before that, a form of imbalance detector is used. That too in special applications such as mining operations. However, the switchgear device designed by Daiziel became the basis of residential GFCI.

A ground fault is one type of fault which is created by an unintentional electrical path between a power source and a grounded surface.
Ground faults most often occur when equipment is damaged or defective, such that live electrical parts are no longer adequately protected from unintended contact.
If your body provides a path to the ground for this current, you could be burned, severely shocked or electrocuted.
The severity of the shock depends on the amount of current passing through your body. Exposure to currents as low of 100 milliamps (ma) for only two seconds can cause death.
Larger currents can cause death in much shorter times and currents as low as 10ma may temporarily paralyze muscles preventing the person from being able to release the appliance or source of the electric shock.
The low currents and short times cannot be emphasized enough. It takes very little current for a very short time to kill someone.
National Electrical Code requires GFCI devices intended to protect people to interrupt the circuit if the leakage current exceeds a range of 4-6 mA of current (the trip setting is typically 5 mA). GFCI devices which protect equipment (not people) are allowed to trip as high as 30 mA of current.
You can read more about the current limits in the Effect of Electric Current on Human Body.
A ground-fault circuit-interrupter is not an overcurrent device like a fuse or circuit breaker. GFCI's are designed to sense an imbalance in current flow over the normal path. The GFCI works on the same principle as of residual current protective devices.
Just like any Residual Current Device, a GFCI constantly monitors the current flowing through a circuit.
A current transformer (toroidal or differential transformer) inside the GFCI measures the current difference in hot and neutral conductors.
If the current flowing into the circuit differs by a very small amount (as little as 0.006 amperes) from the returning current, the GFCI interrupts power faster than a blink of an eye to prevent a lethal dose of electricity.
The figure explains the working of a GFCI
GFCIs are designed to operate before the electricity can affect your heartbeat. A ground fault circuit interrupter works even on two-slot receptacles.
Here's an example that explains how ground fault circuit interrupter works:
A bare wire inside an appliance touches its metal case. The case is then charged with electricity. If you touch the appliance with one hand while another part of your body is touching a grounded metal object, such as a water faucet, you will get shocked. If the appliance is plugged into an outlet protected by a GFCI, the power will be shut off before a fatal shock can occur.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is an electronic device that can operate quickly to prevent electric shocks from electrical shorts.
During normal operation of an electrical appliance, the current flowing through the conductors into a GFCI generally equals the flow of current returning from the appliance to the GFCI.
However, if a "short" occurs in the appliance, or the cord, an imbalance is created between the current going to the device from the GFCI and the current returning to the GFCI.
A GFCI is a device that can detect this imbalance in current flow, and, once the imbalance is detected, the GFCI opens the circuit to that no electricity can flow through the circuit, preventing electric shock or electrocution.
National Electrical Code requires GFCI devices intended to protect people to interrupt the circuit if the leakage current exceeds a range of 4-6 mA of current (the trip setting is typically 5 mA.)
GFCI devices which protect equipment (not people) are allowed to trip as high as 30 mA of current.
It is interesting to note that GFCI's provide protection whether or not the house wiring is grounded.
Now one question that comes to your mind and people often ask is how does a GFCI work without a ground? Let's look into it the details in this section.
The reason why a GFCI does not require an equipment-grounding conductor (green wire) is that GFCI protect the circuit by only detecting an imbalance between the "hot" (live) conductor and the "neutral" conductor. Ground wire has nothing to do with it.
However, a GFCI circuit breaker cannot remove all risk of electric shock or fire. In particular, a GFCI alone will not detect overload conditions, phase to neutral short circuits or phase-to-phase short circuits. For these conditions, over-current protection such as a fuse or circuit breaker must be provided.
Circuit breakers that combine the functions of a GFCI with overcurrent protection respond to both types of fault. These are discussed in the next section.
Please remember that while a GFCI will help to protect against electric shock where current flows through a person from a phase to earth. However, it cannot protect against electric shock where current flows through a person from phase to neutral or phase to phase.
For example, if someone touches both live and neutral wires the GFCI cannot differentiate between current flows through an intended load from flows through a person.
There are three types of GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) in the market for residential, commercial and industrial application. They are,
GFCI Circuit Breaker
Wall Receptacle
Portable GFCI
The receptacle type of GFCI is a special outlet that you install in place of your existing receptacle, to protect that outlet and all other outlets "downstream" on the same circuit.
The GFCI breaker is another kind of GFCI which is a special circuit breaker that you can install in your service panel to protect all the outlets on a circuit.
The portable type GFCI is the one you can use where the above two types are not practical.
Ground fault protection is integrated into GFCI receptacles and GFCI circuit breakers for installation into your electrical system, especially for circuit outlets in particularly vulnerable areas such as where electrical equipment is near water.
Portable GFCIs are also available to provide on-the-spot ground fault protection even if a GFCI is not installed on the circuit.
A circuit breaker with a built-in GFCI may be installed in a panel box to add protection to the circuits it supplies.
GFCI Breaker Protects against both a ground fault and a circuit overload. It protects the wiring and every outlet, lighting fixture, or appliance on the branch circuit that it supplies.
GFCI and AFCI Circuit Breakers
The ground fault circuit interrupter is used in homes equipped with circuit breakers rather than fuses. The GFCI breaker can be used as a replacement for a standard circuit breaker and can be installed in an electrical panel box to protect all receptacles on a particular branch circuit.
Some homes are wired so that all bathrooms, for example, are on the same circuit. Installing a GFCI breaker in the electrical panel box means that multiple GFCI's do not have to be installed.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter breaker (GFCI breaker) serves two purposes:
it shuts off electricity when there is a "ground-fault"
and will also "trip" when the circuit is overloaded or shorted.
Electrical sockets with included GFCI is termed as Wall Receptacle GFCI. It is used in the place of a standard duplex receptacle.
It fits into a standard outlet box and protects against ground-faults for whatever is plugged into the outlet and other electrical outlets further "downstream" in the branch circuit.
GFCI Receptacle
You can even replace older ungrounded, two-slot receptacles with new GFCI receptacles. Must use supplied label "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND GFCI PROTECTED" to identify that the receptacle is not grounded.
Electrical sockets included GFCI's are becoming common. In the United States, they are required by law in wet areas.
In North America, GFCI sockets are usually of the decora size, which is a style that harmonizes outlets and switches, so that there is no difference in size between an outlet cover and a switch cover.
For example, using the decora size outlets, GFCI outlets can be mixed with regular outlets or with switches in a multi-gang box with a standard cover plate.
Therefore, a wall receptacle GFCI is similar to a common wall outlet and is used in place of the standard duplex receptacle found in homes. The Wall receptacle GFCO protects any appliance plugged into it or any other outlets that might be connected to it.
The wall receptacle GFCI has the same two outlets as common receptacles. Also, it has two additional buttons, one with the word "test" and the other with the word "reset". The connection diagram of a wall receptacle GFCI is shown below.
The portable ground fault circuit interrupter is used where the above installed GFCIs are not practical.
Different types of portable GFCIs are available.
One type contains the GFCI circuitry in a plastic enclosure with plug blades in the back and receptacle slots in the front. It can be plugged into a receptacle, then the electrical product is plugged into the GFCI.
Plug Type Portable GFCI
Another type of portable GFCI is an extension cord combined with a GFCI. It adds flexibility in using receptacles that are not protected by GFCIs.
Portable GFCI with Extension Cord
Portable GFCI's are frequently used in construction and outdoor settings where electric tools and appliances are being used. Electrical plugs which incorporate a GFCI are sometimes installed on appliances which might be considered to pose a particular safety hazard, for example, long extension leads which might be used outdoors or garden equipment or hair dryers which may be used near a tub or sink.
Occasionally an in-line GFCI may be used to serve a similar function to one in a plug. Putting the GFCI in the extension lead provides protection at whatever outlet is used even if the building has old wiring.
In this section, we will discuss the installation of different types of Ground fault circuit interrupters. The installation of GFCI covers where to install and how to install.
The circuits that require GFCI protection are designated by the National Electrical Code (NEC).
The NEC typically only applies to new construction/major renovations. The coverage of GFCI protection has gradually increased over the years.
NEC GFCI requirements (and effective date):
Underwater pool lighting (since 1968)
Receptacles:
Outdoors (since 1973)
Bathrooms (since 1975)
Garages (since 1978)
Kitchens (since 1987)
Crawl spaces and unfinished basements (since 1990)
Wet bar sinks (since 1993)
Laundry and utility sinks (since 2005)
Also, consider portable GFCI protection:
Whenever operating electrically-powered garden equipment (mower, hedge trimmer, edger, etc.).
With electric tools (drills, saws, sanders, etc.) for do-it-yourself work in and around the house.
Circuit breaker and receptacle-type GFCIs may be installed in your home by a qualified electrician.
Receptacle-type GFCIs may be installed by consumers with adequate knowledge and skills to conform to proper electrical wiring practices and the instructions accompanying the device.
When in doubt about the proper procedure, contact a qualified electrician; do not attempt to install it yourself.
A portable GFCI gets plugged into a receptacle just like any other cord-and-plug-connected device.
Ground fault circuit interrupter is now a routine part of updates to your electrical system (new construction or remodeling).
But, because they provide such important protection, homeowners may be required to replace existing outlets with GFCIs in certain locations.
Installing GFCI outlets is usually a simple procedure. Here is the step by step procedure to follow.
First, make sure that the power to the circuit is off. (Test with an electrical tester.)
Remove the existing outlet, noting the "hot" wire (usually black) and the "neutral" wire (usually white). Connect the feed wires to the terminals marked LINE, black to black and white to white.
If there are ongoing wires which continue to the next outlet on the circuit, connect them to the terminals marked LOAD, again black to black and white to white. (It's important to maintain the correct "polarity" to prevent the GFCI from cutting out, even when you are not using an electric appliance.)
Splice together the ground wires (bare or green) and connect them with a pigtail to the screw at the back of the box.
When you have secured the GFCI to the receptacle box and restored power, check the device by pushing the "test" button, which simulates a leak in the current. The power should shut off. You can then push the "reset" button to restore power.
Testing GFCI is important for the continuous operation of GFCI.
When to test a GFCI?
You have to test every GFCI:
After installation of GFCI
At least once a month
After a power failure
Testing should be done according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If you do not have the instructions to test the GFCI, follow this procedure:
Plug a lamp into the outlet and turn the lamp on.
Press the GFCI's test button.
Did the light go out? If not, the GFCI is not working or has not been correctly installed.
Contact a qualified electrician to correct the wiring and/or replace the defective GFCI.
Press the reset button.
Did the light come back on? If not, replace the GFCI.

What We're Up To In the Democratic Republic of Congo
As a global connectivity service provider, Africa is a key focus for Telecom26 and we provide connectivity - including IoT networks - across the continent with customers and partners in almost every country.
We have previously looked at how our Global SIM cards are providing IoT connectivity to digital healthcare programmes being rolled out by Big Pharma customers, Healthcare diagnostic partners and NGOs, including SystemOne.
These programmes help diagnose and treat infectious diseases such as Ebola, HIV, TB and, most recently, COVID-19 in South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Ghana, Malawi and Tanzania.
This week we take a look at the Democratic Republic of Congo aka Congo-Kinshasa and not to be confused with its neighbour, The Republic of the Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville.
Located on the west of the continent with a small coastline, the DRC is the largest country in Sub-Saharan Africa with a surface area equivalent to the whole of Western Europe - but with less than 3,000km of paved roads, which is around 1% of the total roads found in the UK.
Despite the country's extensive natural resources including gold, copper, arable land and rainforest, its turbulent past and present has resulted in the third largest population of poor globally with one in six of 92 million residents living in extreme poverty (on less than $1.90 a day).
When most IT techies think of the DRC, they think of cobalt - essential for producing the batteries in electric cars, computers, and cell phones - and the industry's controversial mining industry detailed here by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Telecom Infrastructure in the DRC
The development of the country's internet and broadband market has been hampered by its poor national and international infrastructure. However, recently, investment has been coming into the country from a number of different African and international operators. A landing station is being built for Google's "Equiano" subsea cable which connects Africa with Europe, fibre has been lit between the DRC to Angola and more fibre is coming inland.
The country boasts a multitude of mobile, fixed and satellite operators including
Vodacom Congo, Bharti Airtel, Millicom, Congo Chine Telecom (CCT, Orange Congo), and Africell. You can see a longer list here.
DRC, Healthcare and Connectivity
This article in the UK's The Guardian newspaper writes that the DRC "had officially recorded 50,529 cases and 1,045 Covid-related deaths by 4 August (2021)". However, the country continues to brace itself against new waves as the population are somewhat wary of vaccines.
Of course, the country has been waging much longer battles against other lethal infectious diseases. An Ebola outbreak in the eastern DRC in 2018 killed more than 2,200 people.
Key to the success of digital healthcare programmes in the DRC is reliable connectivity; speed of diagnosis and treatment is often the difference between life and death.
The traditional route is to buy local SIMs to provide device connectivity. Unfortunately, this limits users to one MNO - and adds juggling multiple SIMs across devices to find a local network to a long list of headaches, especially in country border areas.
Telecom26 is a global connectivity service provider and our IoT global SIM cards and our IoT connectivity solutions were developed with the specific goal of improving connectivity in remote areas where coverage can be patchy.
Our IoT global SIM cards enable devices to automatically access and switch between multiple networks both in-country and across borders thus removing the need to worry about the coverage of a single MNO, or the existence of roaming alliances.
If you have any questions about telecoms in DRC, or need help with connectivity - including IoT Connectivity - there, or in any other country in Africa or around the world then please Get In Touch to learn more about Telecom26's work as a global connectivity service provider.


We assume aid is 'helping people'. But the 2006 White Paper on Australian Aid specified its purpose to help countries 'reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development, in line with Australia's national interest'. We'd be mortified if a church agency came out with such a self-serving clause.
When Switzerland scored with a crazy goal against the heavily favoured Spain, I could almost hear my father leaping from the couch and cheering. Before he died, he was a football fanatic. I have learned to love it. It's my way of communing with him.
In the Olympics, the countries with the biggest populations win the most medals. Not in the World Cup. The United States' underdog status is one of the unifying pleasures of football fans around the world.
Whether grotesquely augmented, stricken with cancer or tumbling unbidden from the frocks of soccer wives, breasts guarantee rapt attention. But never are these appendages more hotly debated than when they are being used according to their very purpose and design.
After my first child was born I was overwhelmed by a new appreciation for the work required to grow a single human being. History's catalogue of achievements now mean little to me. Man Walks on Moon? Big deal. Each day the headlines should shout, Woman Gives Birth!
Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi looked like Michael Jackson when he landed in Rome. During his first ever visit to Italy, he said Islamic forms of government should not be criticised since the Vatican is a theocratic State.
Jimmy was a high school basketball superstar, who went to war after graduating and had both his hands blown off by a mine. Imagine a world where instead of violence, international disputes were decided via epic sports tournaments.
It is time we stopped allowing football administrators, advertisers and television stations to set the standards for ethical behaviour. The only way that the current unethical rugby league culture can be removed is for the code itself to disappear.
If Shakespeare had dabbled in cuisine, dishes such as 'eye of newt' and 'fillet of fenny snake' may have been a sensation. As the first 'foody' to emerge from the obscurity of Stratford-upon-Avon, he would have an unlikely successor: Gordon Ramsay.
Jestina Mukoko was a television presenter, but left to become director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, which has documented many atrocities and crimes of Mugabe's regime. Last week she was abducted by a group of armed agents.

«Справедливая Армения» () — центристская политическая партия, созданная в Армении в январе 2021 года перед досрочными парламентскими выборами 2021 года.

История
«Справедливая Армения» была создана 20 января 2021 года во время своего учредительного съезда, состоявшегося в Ереване. Являющийся основателем партии юрист Норайр Норикян был избран её председателем.

В марте 2021 года партия подтвердила своё намерение участвовать в предстоящих досрочных парламентских выборах в Армении. Набранных в ходе выборов 0,31 % голосов избирателей не хватило «Справедливой Армении» делегировать в Национальное собрание страны своего представителя. Партия объявила, что признает результаты выборов и будет стремиться к сотрудничеству с другими политическими группами.

Идеология
Активность партии «Справедливая Армения» направлена создание сильного и влиятельного государства, улучшение социально-экономического развития, ликвидацию политической коррупции и всех форм дискриминации, укрепление верховенства закона и социальной справедливости, защиту окружающей среды, борьбу за международное признание геноцида армян.

Рассматривая международную политику государства, партия выступает как за евроинтеграцию Армении, так и за то, чтобы страна оставалась членом Евразийского союза. Партия считает, что Армения принадлежит к «европейской семье» государств и должна в полной мере выполнять Соглашение о всеобъемлющем и расширенном партнёрстве с ЕС и в то же время должна поддерживать прочные экономические связи с Россией.

«Справедливая Армения» признаёт право непризнанной НКР на самоопределение, верит в сохранение членства Армении в ОДКБ и нормализацию отношений с Турцией и Азербайджаном путём мирного урегулирования Карабахского конфликта. В то же время партия решительно осуждает соглашение о прекращении огня в Нагорном Карабахе в 2020 году.

Кроме того, партия выступает за развитие более тесных отношений с США и НАТО, Индией, Китаем, Грузией, Ираном и другими странами.

Деятельность
22 марта 2021 года представители «Справедливой Армении» провели встречу с президентом Армении Арменом Саркисяном, чтобы обсудить политическую ситуацию в стране.

1 апреля 2021 года «Справедливая Армения» совместно с 4 другими политическими партиями подписала общую декларацию, призывающую правительство страны обеспечить свободные и справедливые предстоящие выборы на фоне политических беспорядков в Армении, вызванных подписанием Николом Пашиняном соглашения о прекращении боевых действий в Нагорном Карабахе.

A sought after feature in our cloud has been something to support Hadoop/Spark functionality. So far our I/O performance hasn't been anything to write home (or to the internet) about, but let's hope that will change soon.
What we basically want to do is provide high IOPS capable temporary data processing VMs. On the hardware side we have 2-socket servers with 256GB of memory and 6 * 400GB SSD disks in a raid-0 configuration.
We were wondering how to best make use of these servers and their disks in OpenStack. One option would be to go with the default QCOW2 file-backed VM images. That sounds like driving a Ferrari with snow-chains on, so no.
We wanted to see if raw image backed VMs are fast enough, or does LVM have significant advantages over that? If we use LVM, we don't want to use straight LVM volumes. Sanitizing the environment between customers by having to zero all disks after each VM is terminated takes time, and there are better options. The better options are sparse and thin volumes. Sparse volumes are supported in OpenStack, but we've had issues with them previously. Thin volumes seem like the way to go, and we've had good experiences with them in general. To make it work in OpenStack, I made a few line patch into the nova code so it creates all LVM volumes as thin volumes (Yeah, no you don't want it, it falls more into the "hack" category).
So we ran a test on two compute hosts. One of them had raw file-backed VMs on an XFS filesystem, the other used thin volumes for its VMs. Each compute host ran 4 VMs, and each VM ran fio randrw tests. The total job size was 64GB, and we ran 1-64 threads. We ran the tests with the fio flags --bsrange=4k-1M. These tests were run 4 times per VM, so we got a total of 16 results for each of the compute hosts.
We took the average of the results for each thread amount. And well, see for yourself.
I think we'll go with LVM thin volumes.


WHISKI is pleased to announce that the famous WHISKI Wednesdays will be back as part of Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight (SFDF). SFDF is Scotland's annual celebration of Scottish food and drinks and runs from the 5th to the 18th September 2010 with events taking place all over Scotland.
Every year we support this initiative and hold WHISKI WEDNESDAY's whereby everyone who orders a main meal in the bar from 5PM onwards on either Wednesday gets to sample a FREE nip of whisky with their meal. This year it will be Baillie Nicol Jarvie whisky and as always we serve the very best and freshest Scottish food – why not come on down and sample some favourites like Cullen Skink or our award winnig MacSween's Haggis – our food menu is here and we will have something you will enjoy.
Later on at 10PM as the evening gets darker, the live music starts up and either Bowfain or The Whistleblowers will be playing live Scottish music – so come and enjoy the ultimate Scottish experience that is thet WHISKI bar.

Future of Kerala lies in the tourism sector: Minister
Monday 11 February 2019 11:21 am IST
Union Minister Alphons Kannanthanam on Sunday launched the Sivagiri spiritual tourism circuit with facilities like a craft bazaar, bus shelters and an audio-video virtual reality show and said that the future of Kerala lies in the tourism sector.
The inauguration of the much-hyped spiritual circuit around the Sivagiri Mutt near Thiruvananthapuram was marred by controversy as the state-central ministers sparred over the project.
While Alphons, the Minister of State for Culture and Tourism, asked the state government to change its approach towards the Centre, State Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said that Kerala was 'ignored' in the project due to the involvement from certain quarters.
"This (state) government had given a comprehensive proposal of Rs 99.09 crore for development projects at Sivagiri Mutt and temples related to Sree Narayana Guru.
Just a few days before the sanctioning this amount, due to the involvement from certain quarters, the state government was ignored. The chief minister had criticised the same," Surendran said during his address in the event.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had earlier written to the Prime Minister against the Centre's decision to inaugurate the spiritual circuit without consulting the state government.
The state government alleged that the Centre ignored its proposal to entrust the project with State Tourism Development Corporation.
At present the project has been undertaken by the India Tourism Development Corporation.
"The state's approach must change.We are now constructing walls around us. Instead of lighting lamps, people here are confining themselves inside the walls. This is a conservative thought process," Alphons said, in an apparent reference to the Women's wall initiative by the state government.
He, however, said that the state and the Centre should work together and praised Kerala's efforts in making the spiritual circuit around the Sivagiri Mutt a reality.

New research from The Vegan Society shows some surprising results as to people's attitude towards vegan food and veganism.
Every vegan in the UK now cannot deny that the times are definitely changing and veganism is growing at such a huge rate: we have more vegan food options, vegan menus, vegan festivals, etc. So it makes sense that The Vegan Society would conduct some research so we start seeing some data on this huge rise.
We think you will agree that the survey has some fantastic and promising results. However, the research also shows that 46% of the people said they would never think about becoming vegan, even if they knew the benefits. This is shocking and just shows what the vegan movement is up against.
What are your reactions to this survey? Are you shocked by the results? What surprises you the most about them? Please leave a comment below.


"Charter School Boards in the Nation's Capital" is one of the first attempts to use quantitative survey data to explore the relationship between charter boards and school quality. In partnership with the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Bellwether authors Juliet Squire and Allison Crean Davis queried charter school board members in Washington, D.C. — a city with one of the highest percentage of public charter school students in the nation — to determine who serves on District charter boards and which board practices are associated with school quality.
Charter school board members in D.C. tend to be affluent, highly educated individuals with liberal or moderate political leanings. Three-quarters of them have served fewer than four years on their board. A slight majority is white, and one-third are African American. They are fairly evenly distributed by age and have a wide range of occupational backgrounds, although almost one-third work in education.
Board members of high-quality charters are more knowledgeable about their schools and more likely to know their school's quality ranking from the DC Public Charter School Board. These board members are also more accurate in estimating the percentage of their school's population that is eligible for free or reduced-priced lunches and indicating whether their school finished the previous fiscal year with a budget deficit.
Board members of high-quality schools are more likely to engage in strategic planning, meet monthly, and participate in specific trainings on budgeting, strategic planning, and legal and policy issues.
Board members of high-quality schools are significantly more likely to evaluate their school leaders and use staff satisfaction as a factor in such evaluations.
Regardless of school quality, charter school board members have much in common, including beliefs about the importance of academic achievement, similar school finance practices, and an understanding of their role and responsibilities.
While focused on charter board members in Washington D.C., the report nonetheless offers valuable insights for charter advocates in other cities. By recruiting informed and dedicated volunteers to lend their time to these boards — and nudging them to implement sound practices — advocates may be able to replicate some of the successes from one of America's most robust charter sectors.

Who said "Cradle to Grave"?
Churchill, the leader of the Conservative Party, coined the phrase 'from the Cradle to the Grave' in a radio broadcast in March 1943 to describe the need for some form of social insurance to give security to every class of citizen in the state.
In its simplest form Cradle to Grave means from creation to disposal throughout the life cycle.
A life cycle assessment, or LCA, identifies opportunities for improvement by quantifying the impacts that a product has on the environment throughout its full life cycle – from production and manufacturing to the disposal phase.
A full LCA is also known as a "Cradle to Grave" sustainability assessment.
The aim is to create befitting products, establish two-way communications, and practice appropriate promotions to maximize sales to customers at each phase of life.
Cradle-to-grave is the full life cycle assessment from resource extraction ('cradle') to the use phase and disposal phase ('grave'). Cradle-to-gate is an assessment of a partial product life cycle from resource extraction (cradle) to the factory gate (i.e., before it is transported to the consumer).
WHY THE CRADLE TO GRAVE PRINCIPLE?
What is the first thing that you think about when you hear the term cradle to grave? The cradle is where you start life, and, of course, the grave is where you end it. In business, the term cradle to grave is used in reference to a firm's
perspective on the environmental impact created by their products or activities from the beginning of its life cycle to its end or disposal.
What is meant by the Cradle to Grave principle?
This term is best understood when referred to as "From creation to disposal".
The best route to determine your cradle to grave is to establish a life cycle of the Organizational processes. Only once you have narrowed down your process will you be able to see precisely what waste streams you have within your Organization. Each waste stream will have a different cradle to grave and this is where the Organization can implement:
Proper identification of each risk.
Necessary handling procedures and,
Correct storage requirements.
The main goal of cradle to grave is to assist an Organization to determine whether the waste stream can be recycled, perhaps even re-used as the last resort will be landfill/disposal.
Kingly are well equipped to follow a cradle to grave scenario through the ISO 14001:2015 standard. This ensures all waste streams are treated with the necessary respect and that we are utilizing the cradle to grave process to optimize ecological and social benefits.
The life cycles of ISO 14001:2015 are broken up into life cycle perspective, life cycle stages, and life cycle assessments.
When applying a life cycle perspective to its products and services, we always consider the following:
The stage in the life cycle of the product or service.
The degree of control it has over the life cycle stages, e.g., a product designer may be responsible for raw material selection, whereas a manufacturer may only be responsible for reducing raw material use and minimizing process waste and the user may only be responsible for use and disposal of the product.
The degree of influence it has over the life cycle, e.g., the designer may only influence the manufacturers production methods, whereas the manufacturer my also influence the design and the way the product is used or its method of disposal.
The life of the product.
The organization's influence on the supply chain.
The length of the supply chain
The technological complexity of the product.
We consider those stages in the life cycle over which it has the greatest control or influence as these may offer the greatest opportunity to reduce resource use and minimize pollution or waste.

Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Scout's honor attacked by the 'tolerant' troops of liberalism
Opinion | June 3, 2013
Morgan Liddick
Special to the Daily
Let us pause to consider the recent death of the Boy Scouts of America, a venerable institution which did much good. It perished from a mugging at the hands of rabid liberal activists who profess to champion "tolerance," but deny others the right to hold any point of view but theirs. The Boy Scouts of America refused for years to accept the liberal vision of an anything-goes society, so it had to die.
From the date of its organization here in 1910, the BSA taught generations of American men not only to love the outdoors, but also to embrace their duty to God and country. It taught preparedness and proper behavior, respect and rectitude, civic engagement, kindness, morality. It was a powerful force for decency and honor in America, so it had to die. R.I.P.
The issue that killed this much-loved organization was an insistence that the BSA admit "openly gay scouts." To understand the lunatic nature of this demand, and the implications of the BSA's ultimate acquiescence, step back a moment and think. What is an "openly gay scout?" Are homosexuals characterized by their snappy repartee? Their stunning fashion sense? Not really. The principle identifier for homosexuals is sexual attraction to, and intimacy with, persons of the same sex. So the BSA has been pressured into accepting persons self-identifying with a behavior that, given the age of the average Boy Scout, would qualify as statutory rape in at least 40 states. This defies common sense. It also creates inconveniences with the whole "morally straight" thing.
Shock aside, the BSA's surrender has provided some useful lessons: when one's deeply-held beliefs are challenged, just change them. When involved in a moral struggle, give up. No principles are really worth defending. One day, we may regret teaching young people lessons such as these.
Nor is this the end of the affair, as homosexual activists and their political allies like Nancy Pelosi are quick to point out. The former Democrat Speaker of the House called Thursday's decision "an important first step," but noted that the scouts still ban homosexual adult leaders. The Human Rights Campaign opined "the policy doesn't go far enough," calling for immediate elimination of that ban, a theme echoed by others on the far left. Then there's that whole "God" business; it'll be the atheists' turn next.
The campaign against the Boy Scouts has always been about more than the unwise decision to allow homosexual scouts into the ranks. It is instead part of a much wider attack on organizations that are the repositories and bastions of tradition in our society. Tradition itself is really the target of liberals' gleeful, nihilistic wrecking; it is what the left is attempting to sweep away in its effort to create a Utopia — that which has never been, and which can never be.
Tradition gets a bad rap. It conjures up an image of old men in tweed jackets sitting in front of a fireplace drinking Scotch, smoking cigars and sharing an imagined past. But tradition is much more important — and more powerful — than this.
Tradition is the unseen glue that binds a society together. It governs interactions, making the trust among individuals on which business dealings are based possible. It sets the norms of behavior, separating gentleman from cad. It arbitrates fairness and equity, dictates fashion and food, celebrates thrift or profligacy; honors charity or selfishness. Tradition creates understanding about a common culture and shared goals, about what it is to be an "American." And it does all this without the interfering hand of government.
Which is the essence of the problem it poses to liberals, and those of other political stripes who see government as the solution to all our problems — despite ample evidence to the contrary. To those who think thus, Big Brother can never be too big, too meddlesome, too powerful, too present in every aspect of our lives. It must be all these so that the liberal political class, far wiser than we poor peasants, can control us. All in our own best interests, of course.
To achieve this end, traditions and the institutions that guard them must be smashed; the diligent undermining must continue in the name of the greater good, until all the props under our current racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, Muslim-hating, oppressive society have been kicked out. There must be no other thought than liberal thought, no speech but liberal speech, no behaviors that do not meet with liberal approval. To paraphrase a construct from the mid-twentieth century, everything must be within liberalism, nothing outside liberalism, nothing against liberalism … Or else.
Until the ceiling caves in.

Howard University guard will transfer to Missouri State
Bison lose second-leading scorer James 'JT' Miller
Howard Bison guard James Miller (33) goes to the basket in the second half against the Michigan Wolverines at Crisler Center. Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
By Jerry Bembry	@Jerrybembry
Howard redshirt junior guard James "JT" Miller, the team's second-leading scorer last season, announced Monday that he is transferring to Missouri State and will play immediately as a graduate transfer.
Miller, who graduates May 13, scored 14.7 points a game last season and helped the Bison advance to the semifinals of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament. He received a medical redshirt after missing most of the 2015-16 season with a broken hand.
"I think it was the perfect move for me," Miller said Monday night. "The Missouri Valley Conference is a great league, and the school has a great coaching staff."
Other schools interested in Miller included Georgia, Georgia Tech, James Madison, George Washington and Albany.
Howard is also expected to lose James Daniel, the nation's leading scorer from two years ago, who missed all but two games last season with a broken foot. Daniel, who has received interest from schools from the Big 10, Big East and SEC, said he has narrowed his choices to Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio State and DePaul.

You there, back of the class, pay attention.
The boffins over at YouTube channel RealLifeLore have produced a history lesson that all of us managed to stay awake through from start to finish, which is a monumental achievement in itself.
In it, they draw parallels between it-actually-happened British historical events, including The Battle Of Hastings and the Roman invasion, and the nail-biting, stomach-churning, cliff-hanging stuff that happens in a little TV show called Game of Thrones. Heard of it? It's quite good. You should watch it.
Oh, there's also a cameo from Kurt Russell, which is always nice.
We'll be throwing a little pop quiz at the end of the day, so feel free to take notes.


At the end of 2009, during my annual moment of reflection, I've decided to register a domain name and start a blog. For me 2009 was a year of professional growth and new IT challenges and this blog is a great way to acknowledge the goals I've reached and start new adventures.
So with this first post I hereby 'open' this new site ….. hoping it'll reflect me and my personality ….. and offer you handy tips, tricks, insights and a laugh or two!

Если прочесть ошибку всё более чем очевидно.
Ты объявляешь цикл через for i in data, а затем обращаешься к data. Зачем тебе цикл тогда?
Надо так:
for i in data:
    name = i.find("span", itemprop="name").text  #<====== i вместо data
    price = i.find("div", class_="price").text   #<====== i вместо data
    print(name + ": " + price)

А это тебя приведёт к следующей ошибке:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Поэтому надо проверять есть нахождение или нет!

    price = i.find("div", class_="price")
    if name != None and price != None:

Is Amazon selling fake items?
Doing their research by ordering as secret shoppers, they discovered that over 70% – that's OVER SEVENTY PERCENT – of their product sold on Amazon by third-party sellers was counterfeit. Only when they filed a lawsuit did Amazon BEGIN to cooperate with them. BUYER BEWARE.


We recently featured a 1968 Chevy Camaro that I think is the same owner as this one. This one is almost a decade older and the changes in style show. I am still a big fan of this generation of Camaro because it reminds me of the styling of the Trans Am from "Smokey and the Bandit" (One of my favorite movies). Enjoy some pictures and information about the '78 Camaro.
The second-generation Chevrolet Camaro was produced by Chevrolet from 1970 through the 1981 model years. It was introduced in the spring of 1970 Build information for model 123-12487 was released to the assembly plants in February of that same year. It was longer, lower, and wider than the first generation Camaro. A convertible body-type was no longer available. GM engineers have said the second generation is much more of "A Driver's Car" than its predecessor.
For the 1978 model year, the Camaro featured a new body colored urethane front and rear bumpers. Z28s got a non functioning hood scoop with outlining decal around the intake. Sales topped all previous years with 272,631 units, of which 54,907 were the RPO Z28 "Special Performance Package".
Available models included the base Sport Coupe, Type LT, Z28, and the return of the Rally Sport. The Rally Sport (not badged RS as in previous years) featured a standard two-tone paint treatment. The Z28 models included a stripe package that was not deletable and featured a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8 with a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor that produced 185 hp (138 kW; 188 PS) and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) of torque coupled to either a 4-speed manual or a TH-350 3-speed automatic.
Another first for 1978 was T-Tops, although they were a regular production option on the 1977 Pontiac Firebird and were introduced on the 1976 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Limited Edition.


Well, finally got one. It was not actually for me but my daughter, as she seems able to break a phone within seconds.
I am fed up with replacing them, especially as I can't find the receipt for the last one. And of course borrowing her mum's phone while I sort it, she breaks that.
So, she gets an indestructible phone this time, and I don't care if it looks pretty or not.
The Sonim XP2.10 spirit looks perfect for the job.
Now, it is not a latest generation smart phone, so not touch screen or full keyboard, but is a pretty good conventional smart phone. Has email and web browsing, etc. Full colour display. 3Mpix camera. Looks like a pretty good phone.
Heck! this is a phone you could use in the shower as it is properly waterproof.
Main thing is the fact it is really tough, designed for builders to use, and has a 3 year unconditional guarantee.
Well I did not expect to be using the guarantee just yet - I have only had it since 08:15 today. But somehow my daughter has broken it before even touching it this time! (OK I can't really blame her this time). The display has gone all stripy. Arrrrg!
Well, I suppose we get to see how good their guarantee is... I'll report back.
And first response - they suggest it needs the software re-flashed? I think not - this is clearly a hardware display controller fault.
Ah, good, they will replace it.
Not to find how we do that!
They reckon it may take 24 hours for the support centre to even reply to me... Not a good start.
Well no response from Sonim support centre or handtec support. It has taken longer to get a response to a ticket than get the phone in the first place.
I think it is quite a cool phone. I am just very unimpressed with their support.

I am working on a scenario Proxy -> SOAP(sync) -> File. Following documentation and blogs on scn I put RequestResponseBean and ResponseOnewayBean in the sender SOAP adapter, Message Protokoll XI 3.0.
I am working on PO 7.4 single stack.
Using SOAP-Adapter without modules works fine.
Did you try by changing the request message and passing 003 for below field?
I didn't get , why you have created sender soap channel.
As per my understanding you are triggering one proxy then it goes to soap request, after getting soap response you need to write a file . so you need one proxy channel ( as you are going to use Bean else no need ) one soap receiver channel and one file receiver channel.
since there is a big difference in configuration for Async/sync and Sync/Async and it seems you are doing Sync/Async bridge.
In above post you mentioned that its Asy/Syn bean working for REST receiver for you, but I am getting the below error ,could you please help me.

Q: How to adjust for slow sampling when animating I am getting input from a serial interface, and I am using it to move up to three digital needles.  I have three gauges, and I can sample at a rate of around 10 Hz regularly, shared between all the gauges.  When I'm only running one gauge, the needle moves very smoothly with a 10Hz input, but as soon as I add another one, the needle gets rather jumpy.
I need to figure out a way to smooth out the data so my needle doesn't jump so much when the sample rate slows down.
I am using the following code to change the angle of the needle in a more realistic manner:
def move(self):
    self.real_angle = self.real_angle + ((360 - self.value * 270/120) - self.real_angle) * 0.2
    needle_angle = self.real_angle
    if needle_angle > 360:
        needle_angle = 360
    self.needle.angle = needle_angle

self.real_angle is the angle the needle is actually at (it may be above 360 degrees).  self.value is the value returned from the serial port.  self.needle_angle isn't really important here.  I simply use that to set my angle, because the real angle may be higher than 360 degrees.
This code gives a more realistic analogue style motion, and looks great at high sample rates, but I'm trying to figure out how to make the needle move more smoothly.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.


revealed networks of old stone walls, building foundations, old roads, dams and other features, many of which long were forgotten. These features speak to a history that Katharine Johnson, an archaeologist and study researcher, wants to see elucidated.
She and others know the story in broad strokes: After European settlers arrived in the 17th century, thousands of acres of forest were cleared to make way for much more intensive agriculture than that practiced by indigenous people. In the 19th century, people began leaving for industrial towns, allowing the forests to overtake their former farms.
New Englanders have long known about these relics of the agricultural past. But Johnson and William Ouimet, her adviser and co-author, harnessed a new way to look for them, one that has proved useful in other places.
They looked at publicly available data collected by using a remote-sensing technology known as light detection and ranging (LiDAR). These scans map the surface below using laser pulses, and they make it possible for researchers to look below tree cover. LiDAR has increasingly been used in archaeology of late, with researchers, aided by the technology, finding the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor, was even more massive than previously thought. LiDAR has also revealed a lost city beneath the Cambodian jungle (near Angkor) as well as evidence of Ciudad Blanca, a never-confirmed legendary metropolis, hidden by Honduran rain forests.
In the new study, Johnson and Ouimet focused on parts of three rural towns: Ashford, Conn.; Tiverton, R.I.; and Westport, Mass. In the scans, stone walls showed up as thin linear ridges, forming enclosures that were likely once fields, lining old thoroughfares, and clustering around the foundations at the heart of old farmsteads.
The LiDAR also picks up on modern features, leading to potential confusion. Old building foundations can resemble modern swimming pools, for example. To verify what they see in LiDAR data, Johnson and Ouimet have been visiting sites.
This new information is best used in combination with historical documents, Johnson said.
"On a historical map, you might see just one dot, and a person's name representing a farmstead, but if you compare that with the LiDAR you might see all of the buildings, in addition to the layout, and the fields, and the road leading to it," she said.
Sometimes the past lives on in the modern landscape. Many stone walls that showed up in the scans of Westport, Mass., delineated property lines, both in modern times and on a map from 1712, she said.
This research will be detailed in the March issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science, and is now available online.


WHITE MOUNTAIN JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL - "I'm not Rapport"
SYNOPSIS: This delightful comedy stars the irreverent and unforgettable Walter Matthau (the Odd Couple, Sunshine Boys, Grumpy Old Men) opposite award-winner Ossie Davis. It was written and directed by Herb Gardner (best known for A Thousand Clowns). The NY Times reviewer described it well: In ''I'm Not Rappaport,'' Mr. Matthau has one of the richest characters of his career, Nat Moyer, an 81-year-old unreconstructed New York Jewish radical, fantasist and troublemaker…. Mr. Matthau's hands, Nat attains a crusty, cantankerous nobility. His rash, eccentric campaigns against injustice and cruelty are an old man's way of raging against the dying of the light, of trying to make a difference in an indifferent world. It is with an almost vengeful glee that Mr. Matthau brings home the play's message: Imagination is the best defense.
Returning Guest Speaker Lawrence Bush - Bush edits Jewish Currents, an independent, progressive magazine founded in 1946 and promotes Jewish identity as "a counterculture . . . in many ways antithetical to what drives our country today".
He is also the editor of the daily blog JEWDAYO, discussing events from Jewish life and history on the anniversary of their occurrence. In 2011, the entries from the first year of the blog, 2010, were collected into a printed daybook Jewdayo.
