«Трал» — многоканальная радиотелеметрическая система ракеты Р-7 и её последующих модификаций. Также, использовалась для телеметрии искусственных спутников Земли, первого пилотируемого корабля «Восток-1» и других космических аппаратов. Включает в себя комплекс бортовых устройств и наземных станций приёма и регистрации информации. Имеет большое количество модификаций. Разработана ОКБ МЭИ во второй половине 1950-х, выпускалась Кунцевским радиозаводом в Москве. Радиотелеметрические системы семейства «Трал» эксплуатировались до начала 2000-х годов.

История

Предшественники
Во время Второй мировой войны для ракет ФАУ-2 в Германии была разработана 12-канальная телеметрическая система «Мессина» с частотным разделением каналов. В СССР под названием «Бразиллионт» она была воспроизведена в НИИ-10 и использована для отработки ракет Р-1.

В конце 1948 года в НИИ-885 под руководством Е. Я. Богуславского была разработана и начала применяться на ракетах Р-2 более совершенная система СТК-1 «Дон», которая позволяла передавать 24 канала с частотой опроса 50 Гц. Одновременно, с 1947 года к разработке системы телеметрических и траекторных измерений баллистических ракет приступил созданный при Московском энергетическом институте «Сектор специальных работ». Инициатором создания и первым руководителем «Сектора» стал заведующий кафедрой основ радиотехники В. А. Котельников, который уже имел опыт создания систем телеметрии самолётов и лично был знаком с С. П. Королёвым.

Система телеметрических и траекторных измерений, получившая название «Индикатор», была разработана в Секторе специальных работ МЭИ в очень короткие сроки, но производство не успевало к началу испытаний новой ракеты Р-2 и было решено выделить из проекта систему траекторных измерений — «Индикатор-Д», подготовив её первой очередью для установки на ракете. Работы над телеметрической системой, получившей название «Индикатор-Т» и ставшей прообразом «Трала», продолжались.

В 1951 году «Индикатор-Т» впервые был испытан на борту Р-2 в имитационном режиме, параллельно со штатной радиотелеметрической системой СТК-1 «Дон».

«Индикатор-Т» воплотил в себе последние достижения радиотехники того периода, он имел 36 информационных каналов с временным разделением и частотой опроса 500 Гц. Применение запатентованного Ф. Е. Темниковым метода динамической компенсации обеспечивало высокую точность передачи параметров.

Создание «Трала»
Телеметрическая система «Трал» появилась в результате развития РТС «Индиктор-Т» и была разработана специально для ракеты Р-7 в Секторе специальных работ МЭИ (будущем ОКБ МЭИ) под руководством А. Ф. Богомолова, выдвинутого на это пост В. А. Котельниковым. Решение об установке её на ракету Р-7 было принято в январе 1955 года, в марте 1956 года система, созданная молодёжным коллективом МЭИ, в острой конкурентной борьбе выиграла государственные сравнительные испытания у телеметрической системы РТС-7, также разработанной специально для Р-7 влиятельной «электронной монополией» М. С. Рязанского (СКБ-567, главный конструктор Е. С. Губенко) и была принята в качестве основной для ракет Р-7. В системе применялись самые передовые достижения электроники своего времени: время-импульсная модуляция, фазовое разделение и электронная система распределения каналов. Компенсационный метод преобразования амплитуды сигнала во временное положение импульса обеспечивал высокую точность передачи параметров.

Разработчики системы: В. А. Котельников, А. Ф. Богомолова, Л. И. Кузнецов, С. М. Попов, М. Е. Новиков, Л. А. Куракин, А. Г. Николаев, П. Ж. Крис, Б. М. Мальков, В. П. Бычков, А. С. Альтман, Н. А. Терлецкий.

Испытания «Трала» на ракете Р5РД, играющей роль летающей лаборатории по отработке бортовых систем Р-7, развернулись на полигоне Капустин Яр в 1956 году. В начале 1957 года систем была развёрнута в районе Байконура и испытана с борта самолёта Ли-2. 15 мая 1957 г. в 19:01 МСК «Трал» впервые отработал при первом (неудачном) пуске Р-7 и обеспечил подробную информацию о причинах аварии.

На ракету Р-7 устанавливалось 3 комплекта бортовой аппаратуры, находившиеся в головной части, на центральном блоке (2-я ступень) и на одном из боковых блоков первой ступени. Комплекты работали на разных частотных каналах и обеспечивали передачу на землю до 1000 параметров.

Решение проблемы плазменного участка
В ходе испытаний телеметрической системы головной части (ГЧ) «Трал-Г», была выявлена невозможность передачи информации сквозь плазменную оболочку, возникающую вокруг ГЧ при движении в атмосфере на конечном участке полета. Плазма фактически экранировала передающие антенны, затухание радиосигнала достигало 100 дБ. В ходе решения задачи в ОКБ МЭИ были разработаны две усовершенствованных телеметрических системы:
 «Рубин», совмещающую функции радиолокационного ответчика РЛС «Бинокль» и передатчика телеметрии в коде «Трала» на длине волны 10 см. (П. Ж. Крисс).
 «Алмаз»-«Трал-Д», модификацию с повышенной энергетикой радиолинии за счёт сокращения количества каналов до 4 и уменьшения частоты опроса до 30 Гц (С. М. Попов).
Проблема была решена только частично. «Слепой» участок траектории сократился до нескольких десятков секунд, но не был преодолён полностью. При этом и той и другой системой удалось принять телеметрию в течение нескольких секунд перед столкновением ГЧ с землёй. Радиосвязь улучшалось за счёт частичного срыва плазмы в плотных слоях атмосферы. Испытания проводились в 1957-58 гг. Окончательно плазменную «дырку» удалось закрыть созданием запоминающего устройства с быстрым сбросом телеметрической информации в течение нескольких секунд перед падением ГЧ, получившего название «Яхонт». Система была создана в короткие сроки под руководством В. С. Баринова и работала на основе бортового магнитофона, записывающего информацию на проволоку диаметром 20 мкм и способного работать при перегрузках до 100 g.

«Трал» при запуске первых спутников и корабля «Восток-1»
При запуске первого спутника Земли система «Трал» работала только на ракете-носителе. По моменту прихода сигнала отключения двигателей, полученных посредством телеметрии, определялась точность вывода спутника на орбиту.

Во время запуска второго спутника аппаратура центрального блока ракеты — «Трал-Ц» — была использована также и для передачи телеметрической информации со спутника. Чтобы обеспечить работу в условиях космоса, бортовая аппаратура была модернизирована, введён коммутатор, переключающий датчики от ракеты носителя к спутнику, умформер в цепях питания заменён полупроводниковыми преобразователями напряжения и формирователем трёхфазного опорного напряжения частотой 500 Гц. Телеметрическая информация со спутника передавалась в течение недели.

«Трал» третьего советского спутника, запущенного в 1958 году, выполнен полностью полупроводниковым. В состав бортовых устройств был добавлен блок запоминания объёмом 2 мегабита, обеспечивающий хранение данных при отсутствии связи с наземными станциями. Аппаратура работала около года. Преданный с орбиты объём информации оказался столь велик, что институты Академии наук СССР обрабатывали его в течение нескольких лет.

По итогам работ 8 марта 1958 года Сектор специальных работ МЭИ, выполнивший разработку системы «Трал», преобразуется в Особое конструкторское бюро МЭИ. Руководитель сектора А. Ф. Богомолов стал его главным конструктором и директором.

На первом пилотируемом орбитальном корабле «Восток» в составе комплекса работали две бортовые системы «Трал». «Трал-П1» с запоминающим устройством ЗУ-О передавала на Землю информацию о состоянии космонавта, систем жизнеобеспечения, систем и агрегатов корабля и т. п. «Трал-Т», разработанный совместно ОКБ МЭИ и Ленинградским институтом телевидения, обеспечивал передачу телевизионной картинки с борта корабля в кодировке «Трала» (комплекс «Селигер»).

Наземная аппаратура системы, использовавшейся для отработки ракеты Р-7, была выполнена в подвижном варианте и размещалась в КУНГах на базе автомобилей ЗИС-151, которые, как правило, разворачивались в районах наземных измерительных пунктов (НИП) или на палубах НИС космического флота, расположенных по трассе полета. Впоследствии появились и стационарные наземные аппаратные. В 1963 году была также разработана малогабаритная приёмная станция «Трал-К» для использования на атомных подводных лодках.

Модификации
Впоследствии для различных космических аппаратов были разработаны модификации системы — «Трал-П2», «Трал-ИОК», «Трал-П1МА», «Трал-П1МБ», «Трал-П1МВ», «Трал-Яхонт» и другие.

Характеристики

Состав
На первых ракетах-носителях Р-7 (8К71) устанавливалась бортовая система «Трал-П1», которая использовалась также и для отработки головных частей ракеты. В её состав входили:
 «Трал-В» — устанавливался на один из четырёх блоков первой ступени
 «Трал-Ц» — блок центральной ступени
 «Трал-Г» — головная часть ракеты (работал на участке падения).

Наземная станция была выполнена в передвижном варианте и размещалась в 3 КУНГах на базе двух автомобилях ЗИС-151. КУНГ с мобильной электростанцией 8Н01 мощностью 12 кВт размещался на двухосном прицепе, на шасси автомобиля устанавливалась аппаратная с внешней антенной. Ещё одна машина использовалась как вспомогательная. Расчёт станции состояли из инженера, техника и 4 солдат.

Радиоканал
 Диапазон рабочих частот — 60…80 МГц (наземная станция имела 3 рабочих частоты для работы с тремя бортовыми блоками телеметрии).
 Дальность — до 10 тыс. км. в пределах прямой видимости.
 Модуляция — Время-импульсное кодирование с амплитудной модуляцией радиоканала (ВИМ-АМ).
 Чувствительность приёмника — 15 мкВ.
 Наземная антенна — У подвижного комплекса штатное АФУ содержало спиральную антенну бегущий волны с рефлектором, устанавливаемую на аппаратный КУНГ автомобиля. Сборная спираль из прямых трубок, позволяла монтировать антенну как на правое, так и на левое направление вращения. Ориентация антенны производилось вручную. В стационарных комплексах применялись стеки из 4 антенн с автоматическим наведением.
 Бортовые антенны — Различные типы, в зависимости от конструкции и назначения космического аппарата. На Р-7 применялись щелевые антенны, на первых спутниках и космических кораблях петлевые вибраторы сложной конструкции.

Информационный канал
 Количество измерительных каналов — 48 (из них 1 может использоваться как калибровочный)
 Точность измерительного канала — 1 %
 Количество каналов от контактных датчиков — 44
 Частота опроса — 125 Гц

Информация передаётся телеметрическими кадрами, повторяющимися с частотой 6 кГц. Каждый кадр разделён на 48 канальных интервалов. В пределах канального интервала передаётся 3 импульса: опорный (стартовый), измерительный (временное смещение импульса определяет значение параметра) и сигнальный (передаёт состояние контактного датчика). Благодаря гибкой системе коммутации и кроссировки, имеется возможность объединения 4 информационных каналов в один с частотой опроса 500 Гц, передачи по одному каналу данных от 6 — 7 датчиков с низкой частотой опроса и передачи по одному информационному каналу дискретной информации от 4 контактных датчиков.

Таким образом по 144-м основным каналам трёх бортовых комплектов «Трала» на ракете Р-7 передавалось 900 (на некоторых пусках до 1000) датчиков разных типов, что позволяло иметь детальную картину работы всех систем в полёте.

Регистрация информации на первых моделях производилась с электронно-лучевых трубок на фотоплёнку, в последующих на магнитную ленту при помощи ЭВМ.

On March 17, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gave Google permission to conduct its Project Loon experiments in the U.S., despite evidence it will violate human rights and harm human health and the environment.Based on details in the application, the experiments may take place at any location and any time or continuously, will pollute public and private environments indoors and outdoors in the U.S. with microwave radiation, and do not include any requirement to notify people in the area who will be exposed to an altered experimental environment.
Eight companies are planning to launch more than 11,000 satellites for global wireless coverage – a microwave radiation based technology. An action group composed of citizens worldwide – Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS) – contends that these projects, which include projects by SpaceX, Facebook, and Google's Project Loon, violate important human rights conventions due to the serious biological effects and non-consenting microwave radiation exposures which will result. This global union contends that decades of congressional corruption has resulted in a lack of protections for the public.
Are 11,000 more satellites set to severely affect public health and the ozone layer?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted the request of OneWeb to launch and operate its proposed constellation of 720 satellites to cover the United States market.
Calling it the first-of-its-kind, new generation of large, non-geostationary-satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) systems, FCC said in its declaratory ruling that OneWeb's network of satellites will "provide high-speed, affordable broadband connectivity to anyone, anywhere" in the United States.
Prior to launching satellites, FCC ordered OneWeb to secure from the United Kingdom Space Agency an authorization for deployment and space operations in the 10.7-12.7 GHz, 14-14.5 GHz, 17.8-18.6 GHz, 18.8-19.3 GHz, 27.5-29.1 GHz, and 29.5-30 GHz frequency bands, among other requirements.
OneWeb is planning to launch 720 satellites into low earth orbit, at an altitude of approximately 1,200 kilometers, beginning in 2018, with a full launch by 2019. The company has set ambitious goals of "connecting every unconnected school" by 2022, and "bridging the digital divide" by 2027, according to The Verge.
Currently available satellite internet service is slow, expensive, and largely out-of-reach for individual consumers, who can be charged up to $200 a day, noted The Washington Post. Low-earth orbit satellites closer to earth promise smoother and faster internet service.
"The goal of this non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) technology is to provide global, high-speed broadband service — and its use case is particularly compelling in remote and hard-to-serve areas," said FCC Chairman Ajit Pai in a statement.
OneWeb is competing with SpaceX, which is planning to launch a 4,425-strong 'constellation' of its own, as well as several other companies planning satellite-based, gigabit-speed broadband and communication services globally. OneWeb was the first to apply to the FCC for its satellite network's approval on April 28, 2016. Noting that other companies filed their own requests shortly thereafter, Pai said the granting of OneWeb's petition is the first of many.
"This Order lays the foundation for deployment of future low-Earth orbit satellites while establishing carefully measured standards to ensure that these NGSO constellations will not interfere with their terrestrial or geostationary counterparts. And the Order provides that OneWeb will need to accommodate in-line interference avoidance and spectrum sharing with other NGSOs in the future," said Pai.
Other conditions specified by FCC for OneWeb to meet include protecting geostationary-satellite orbit (GSO) operations by meeting equivalent power-flux density limits, protecting terrestrial operations by meeting power-flux density (PFD) limits, and certain restrictions to avoid conflict with operators of the Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) and the 17.8-18.6 GHz Frequency Band.
Pai said FCC also has an ongoing rulemaking proceeding that seeks to update the Commission's current NGSO Fixed Satellite Service rules to better accommodate this type of satellite system.


Is Your Multi-Tasking Talent Doing You Harm?
Is your multi-tasking talent doing you harm? You've heard the old saying, 'Work smarter, not harder." Everyone today is trying to get an edge—do more in less time. Unfortunately, some of the advice we're getting from the 'seminar gurus' just isn't proven in reality. Latest statistics and studies show exactly what we're doing that's hindering our productivity. In my next three blogs, I'll give you three surprising areas to look at in your own life that will get you better results—and a better life.
I know. I know. We are compulsively 'multi-tasking' our hearts out—trying to get more done in less time. We exercise and listen to our iPod while we're watching a video! We're proud of being able to do 2-3 things at once. We just don't know how that's hurting us from actually achieving our goals. Here's the problem. When our brains are busy, we don't retain information. The brain needs 'down time' to translate a pattern of new activity into a persistent memory, according to University of California scientists.
University of Michigan scientists showed that people learned significantly better after a walk in nature than after a walk in a dense urban environment. So, exercise, but do it without the media stimulation—and exercise outside, if you can.
Observation: Have you noticed how some people are 'gadget junkies'? They spend all their time gathering the newest gadgets, learning them, and using them. The end game: Gadgets rule their lives, not their goals and achievements.
One danger I see today is people's inability to think in a linear fashion. Oh, I know—it's great to be creative and 'fire' on all brain cylinders. But, what about those times when you want to think through a problem? When you want to create a plan? The ability to focus and think through complex issues is really important to real estate success today. So, before you multi-task and gadget yourself to death, stop, look, and listen. You'll get further faster—ultimately.

Wendy Fine's Exhibit
Twinning "Mom" Raises School's Awareness of Ethiopian Jews
DISPLAYS SHOWCASING TZEDAKAH PROJECTS
The four PTA display cases around Maimonides School's Saval Campus and Brener Lower Elementary Building may become landmarks of inspiration and motivation, through exhibits of students' bar and bat mitzvah tzedakah projects. "Ideally, to have a tzedakah project writeups and materials and to share them with the school could be part of the Maimonides educational experience," said Wendy Fine, who is working with Iris Frisch to coordinate the outreach for PTA. Mrs. Fine established the model with displays of crafts, photographs and historical and cultural descriptions representing the Ethiopian community that also were exhibited at her son Stevie's bar mitzvah. Stevie Fine included in his bar mitzvah last fall a (NACOEJ) "twinning" with an Ethiopian-Israeli boy, arranged through the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry, said Mrs. Fine. Last summer Stevie and his mother traveled to Israel and not only visited Stevie's "twin" but also delivered school and recreational supplies to the child's school classroom. They also had the opportunity to visit a nearby absorption center for new Ethiopian immigrants.
"We learned a lot about the different challenges facing Ethiopian immigrants as they learn to live independently in Israeli society," said Mrs. Fine. As part of his dvar Torah for Parashat Bereshit, she said, "Stevie wrote about how participation in this project helped him understand our obligation to all Jews, especially those in need." From Maimonides School newsletter "KOL RAMBAM", January 2006 Tevet 5766, Boston, MA

Home > Used Vinyl Grading
Flip Side uses the universal standards developed through Goldmine and expanded through Discogs for grading the condition of used items listed in our store. We do our best to grade conservatively and most used records are cleaned with a Spin Clean.
Here are our standard grades for used vinyl records, from best to worst:
Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Sealed records are presumed mint unless otherwise noted.
Near Mint (NM) – A nearly perfect record. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The vinyl looks glossy and has only been played a few times. The vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.
Very Good Plus (VG+) – A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects are more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Signs of wear,slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences are ok, as are slight warps. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG) – Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc, but it is visually and audibly USED. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
Good (G) – A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.

Q: Sync two mysql db, but not all rows via cron php script I have a database that needs to sync to another but not all the rows inside the db.
I have just wasted money and time posting a project on freelancer as the project winner wanted to edit the files of the site that drives the DB but was unable to as they are encrypted.
I need 2 databases to sync excluding one (table/row)
For example:
1 <-> 1
2 <-> 2
3 <-> 3
4 <-> 4
5 <-> 5
6 no 6

I would like it to be run by a cron job both database be on the same server
I'm asking not for a solution, but a better way to write this project as I'm not clued up in all the jargon.
Even if it's possible, how much work would it be?

Q: Seating four people next to each other probability problem The following problem is from Carol Ash's The Probability Tutoring Book
If $4$ people are assigned seats at random in a $7$ seat row, what is the probability that they are seated together?
My approach:
We can choose $4$ from $7$ seats: $_{7}C_4$ ways,
We can permute the people in $4!$ ways.
So, my answer was $\frac{4!}{_{7}C_4}$
However the answer in the book is $\frac{4}{_{7}C_4}$. did they miss the factorial? Or is this the correct answer?
Why is the numerator just $4$?
Is it because if I permute the numerator, I also have to permute the denominator? Can someone explain why this is logically so?

A: What is your logic in using 4! ? If you choose 1 to 4, ..., 4 to 7, you can place the people in different permutations in the same consecutive seating. $$A-B-C-D$$ $$1-2-3-4$$ Or $$A-C-B-D$$ $$1-2-3-4$$ and so on but this is technically the same seating. $1-2-3-4$ or 2 to 5 and so on is applicable.

A: You have to be clear whether you are using permutations or combinations.
If you want to use permutations, $Pr =\dfrac{4!\cdot4}{7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4}$
whereas if you want to use combinations, $Pr = \dfrac{4}{\binom7 4}$
Whenever probability is asked for, it is generally simpler to use combinations

A: You can notice that all 4 people must be seated in a row, so all the possible outcomes are : the seats from $1$ to $4$, from $2$ to $5$, from $3$ to $6$, and from $ 4$ to $7$.
Hence, there are 4 possible configuration, then they can be permuted $_{7}C_4$ ways, hence the total result is :
$$\frac{4}{_{7}C_4} $$

Foreign exchange student battles cancer far from home
Italian teen attending Ozaukee High undergoes surgery, faces chemo with the support of Belgium host family, parents
FOREIGN EXCHANGE student Edoardo Campus (front, center), who managed a big smile despite recently being diagnosed with cancer, posed Tuesday with members of his Belgium host family (from left) Rick and Mary Kay Heinold and Brent Hoffmann, and his parents Claudio and Vittoria. Photo by Sam Arendt
MITCH MAERSCH
Foreign exchange student Edoardo Campus was eagerly soaking American culture while staying with his Town of Belgium family.
His dark eyes enlarge and his face lights up when he talks about how excited he is to experience all his host country to offer.
The Italian played soccer and basketball at Ozaukee High School, likes making new friends, school dances and the atmosphere.
"Everyone has been really kind with me," Campus said of the school.
Campus also got to delve deeply into one part of American society he wished he wouldn't have needed: the health care system.
On March 17, Campus developed back pain, and his host mother Mary Kay Heinold wanted to take him to the doctor.
Campus said to wait, but when the pain moved to his side and stomach two days later, he went to the hospital.
Heinold thought it might have been appendicitis, which her son Garrett had last fall right before he left for college. Kidney stones were another possibility.
The hospital did blood work and sent Campus home. A doctor later touched him near the intestines, which led to an ultrasound and CT scan.
Campus had 4-centimeter and 2-centimeter masses.
A trip to a pediatrician and then an oncologist at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa led to more X-rays and a biopsy.
The results showed that Campus has stage 3 embryonal carcinoma.
It was shocking news for the young adult — he turned 18 on Saturday — his host family and his parents back home, who had been kept in the loop the entire time.
"Children's Hospital was amazing," Heinold said. "They Skyped the parents in on every appointment."
Campus' parents Claudio and Vittoria moved up a planned trip to America and flew in on April 7. They are staying with Mary Kay and Rick Heinold.
Tests showed scarring in Edoardo's right testicle. He had surgery at Children's Hospital to remove it on April 11.
The two masses remain. Edoardo is scheduled to undergo four cycles of aggressive chemotherapy to try to remove them. It will be five straight days of treatment, then two and a half weeks off, followed by another round of treatment.
The plan then is for Edoardo to fly home and finish the final two cycles in Rome, a one-hour flight from his home city.
The prognosis for survival is 98%, and Edoarado is even more sure than that.
"I know I'm going to make it. I'm confident," he said.
Health insurance has been another story. Edoardo was automatically put on his exchange program's plan, which paid for everything through surgery. It is not covering chemo.
"It's strange for us. A completely different system," Claudio said.
"In Italy, maybe we pay more taxes but everything is covered by national insurance. You pay, but very little."
The Ozaukee community has stepped up to the plate. Fundraisers are in the works.
Ozaukee High School has been supportive, putting homework online or sending it home with Edoardo's American brother Brent Hoffmann, Mary Kay said.
While the experience has been an awful shock, the timing may have been fortunate, given the quality of medical care Edoardo has received.
"With this hospital, it was probably a blessing to have it happen here," he said.
Edoardo was already planning to become a doctor, and now he's leaning toward studying oncology.
"The day after the biopsy, he told us that the staff at the hospital were amazing and he was surprised at the technique they used," Claudio said.
The ordeal has also bonded the two families from different continents.
"We feel to be the same family," Claudio said.
Through it all, Edoardo has maintained his disposition, his American dad said.
"He always has a smile on his face," Rick Heinold said. "He doesn't feel good sometimes, but he still gives you that smile."
Edoardo's other new American experiences include the weather, which received a mixed review.
"I like the snow. I've never seen snow before coming here, and I've seen a lot," he said.
His home city of Sassari is on an island in the Mediterranean Sea and has a warm climate. Temperatures there now are higher than 70 degrees.
"I like snow but cold, that was pretty rough," Campus said. "I miss the sea."
Favorite American foods include eggs, bacon and steaks with barbecue sauce.
"I'm not used to it, but I love it. Everything is bigger," he said.

Restrictive Practice Terms
Disability Royal Commission hearings sometimes use terms that most Australians aren't very familiar with. We're keeping a list of these and trying to explain them in plain language. Please feel free to email us at comms@pwd.org.au if you have suggestions for words that should be included.
These terms will come up in any hearings specifically about restrictive practices. You may also encounter them in other hearings about disability service providers, especially for disability housing.
Behaviours of concern: A very broad (and ableist) term used to describe any behaviour considered difficult to understand or manage by a service provider or health worker.It may be used to describe anything from shouting, to refusing to eat, to being naked in public, to self-harm or harming others. We do not like the use of this term, because it centres the experience of the service provider or health worker and their "concern", while framing the "behaviour" of the person with disability as the problem, rather than identifying problems with the environment they are in.
Behaviour support: Supports intended to reduce the occurrence of "behaviours of concern" and minimise the use of mechanical, chemical or physical restrictive practices.
While the behaviour support is intended to be a move away from certain restrictive practices, it is still an essentially ableist idea, as it still frames the person with disability as the problem instead of the systems around that person.
Challenging behaviours: An alternative (and equally ableist) term for "Behaviours of Concern".
Chemical restraint: The use of a medication or chemical substance for the primary purpose of modifying a person's behaviour (not for therapeutic or treatment purposes). This may include the use of antipsychotics, antidepressants or sedatives.
Environments of concern: Available research has shown that "behaviours of concern" are very often "adaptive behaviours to maladaptive environments", and "legitimate responses to difficult environments and situations."¹ These may include group homes, boarding houses, locked wards, prisons or hospitals.
OPCAT: The Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
OPCAT is an international agreement aimed at preventing torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. OPCAT was adopted in 2002 and entered into force in 2006.
The Australian Government ratified OPCAT in December, 2017.
Psychotropic medication: Any drug that might affect the mind, emotions and behaviour. Examples of psychotropic medication include antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilisers and stimulants.
Restrictive practices: Any practice or intervention that has the effect of restricting the rights or freedom of movement of a person with disability. These primarily include restraint (chemical, mechanical, social or physical) and seclusion.
All restrictive practices are a breach of the CRPD (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) to which Australia is a signatory.
The National Framework: Commonwealth, State and Territory Disability Ministers endorsed the National Framework for Reducing and Eliminating the Use of Restrictive Practices in the Disability Service Sector at their meeting at the Disability Reform Council meeting on 21 March 2014.
The National Framework focuses on the reduction of the use of restrictive practices in disability services that involves restraint (including physical, mechanical or chemical) or seclusion.


Web search engines have become often-used tools for many ordinary people today and a growing number of researcher are therefore studying how these lay-persons interact with such tools. Studies of public web search engine usage have often produced term frequency lists to illustrate the information needs the users. This study differs on several aspects from previous work. Firstly, we have analysed the logs of an intranet search engine, since studies of corporate internal search behaviour are in short supply. Secondly, we have not just used search terms but also full queries and show that single terms give a skewed understanding. Thirdly, we have analysed data from three different years - 2000, 2002 and 2004 - to be able to detect shifts and trends in information seeking behaviour.

Deaths march medic 'not told to read weather guidelines'
Edward Maher was one of the reservists who died during a selection exercise (MoD)
By Matthew Vooper
A combat medic was "not told to read" Ministry of Defence guidelines on preventing deaths from climatic injury before a fatal SAS test march, an inquest has heard.
The soldier, known by the codename 1H, said he had "not really looked at" joint service guidance advising that military exercises should be called off if a heat injury is diagnosed.
Giving evidence at the inquest into the deaths of three reservists amid "boiling" temperatures in July 2013, 1H also conceded an air ambulance should have been on stand-by during the march.
Lance Corporal Craig Roberts, Lance Corporal Edward Maher and Corporal James Dunsby died after collapsing from the effects of heat near the end of the 16-mile (26km) "selection" test in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales.
On the fifth day of the inquest in Solihull, West Midlands, soldier 1H was asked if the air ambulance and the Welsh Ambulance Service should have been put on notice due to the weather.
The medic, a member of 34 Field Hospital who was serving alongside a Signals regiment, said: "In hindsight, they maybe should have been put on stand-by, but I didn't think to then."
Questions were also put to 1H about a joint services document containing a treatment algorithm stating that military activities should be halted if a heat injury is reported.
Coroner Louise Hunt asked 1H: "Did any of your training confirm that if you had a heat-related case, the algorithm suggests that the military activity should be stopped and all personnel involved in the activity should stop if the operational environment allows?"
Giving his answer from behind a screen, 1H responded: "I wasn't aware that all activity had to be stopped.They are just there as guidelines."

Is Volvo getting its character back?
V40 is now powered by Volvo's own engine
I've always wanted an Amazon...
The Tesla was fascinating, but my favourite car of the at the SMMT Test Day South on 25 Sept was the Volvo D4 SE (£25,770, as tested £33,620).
I used to love Volvos, and I've had a few, including an 1800S (Saint car) a 140 and a huge square (thirsty) 260 estate with leather seats that drove like a Yank tank. I've always yearned for an Amazon saloon like the little beauty I spotted in Bath recently (below right), but they're pricey these days.
I've always admired the Swedish maker's individual style and dogged pursuit of safety and quality. But I lost interest when it was swallowed up by Ford, and felt sad when it was sold on to Chinese car maker Geely.
It did cheer me up, though, that Geordie ex-Volvo designer Peter Horbury, who made Volvos curvy in the 1990s moved to Geely in 2012, so Volvo is back under his wing.
It's also good to know that, having used Ford engines while it was part of the empire, Volvo is not simply purchasing engines from another maker. It is developing its own range of engines, and they are being built at Volvo Cars' engine plant in Skövde, Sweden.
The Drive-E 'modular' engines share sections, and will allow for electrification in the future, and Volvo insists no engine in the range will have`– or need – more than four cylinders.
The new 4-cylinder engines offer higher performance than previous 6-cylinder units and deliver better fuel consumption than the current 4-cylinder generation. Fuel economy savings range from 10 to 30 per cent, depending on which engines are being compared.
The V40 D4 I drove at the SMMT day had the new 190hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, and felt lively, responsive and fun. It's also a stylish car with a high-quality interior.
I think I may be becoming a Volvo fan again.

Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Thursday cautioned members of the Oodua People's Congress
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Thursday cautioned members of the Oodua People's Congress (OPC) against taking the laws into their hands.
The traditional ruler urged the group to be law abiding in.
Ooni gave the advice when he received members of the OPC, led by its President, Prince Osibote in his palace.
The traditional ruler described the association as a great promoter of Yoruba tradition, ethics and principles.
"Do not involve yourself in extrajudicial practices that could create more problems than we are trying to solve,'' he admonished.
The Ooni advised members of the association to unite and avoid acts that could result in factions.
"For the sake of the sweet memories of your late founder, Frederick Fasehun, I am appealing to all of you to have a rallying point so that you can be united.
"You can have several leaders all over, what I am appealing for is unity of purpose and common interest toward developing the Yoruba nation.
"If you know the meaning of the name 'Oduduwa', you would place it high above all forms of selfish interests.
"I urge you all to be conscious of your words and actions, because the people out there are watching,'' he said.
Earlier, Osibote, who said that the OPC "is made up of responsible persons'', said he believed "in the one Nigeria' project''.
"I have told my followers and I will like to state it again unequivocally that I am only interested in the peace and development of the Yoruba race.
"I am not a politician and would never be involved in politics.
"We have come to greet our baba (the Ooni) to receive his blessings and also assure him that we will continue to support him,'' Osibote said. (NAN)

The opening of a new dialysis centre has marked the start of better care for more patients needing kidney treatment.
Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust launched the new facility in its clinic based at University Hospital, Lewisham.
It has replaced the smaller unit that recently closed at Forest Hill and will shave hours off patient travelling time.
The collaboration with specialist providers of kidney dialysis, Diaverum UK, comes after the Trust celebrated 50 years of providing life-saving kidney operations – including 7,600 transplants – and pioneering surgery last month.
Siobhan Morris, 44, had her life transformed after she was one of the first patients to receive a robot-assisted kidney transplant in the UK at Guy's Hospital in 2016.
She had her first transplant from her mum in 2007 which lasted nine years before her body rejected it.
After a short spell back on dialysis, she received a kidney donated by her brother using robot-assisted keyhole surgery.
"That was fabulous," she said. "When I had my first transplant the pain was excruciating the next day. I could not move and could not go to the bathroom for three or four days. I was black and blue.
The opening of the Lewisham centre continues the Trust's improving treatment and means patients no longer have to take a round-trip to Guy's Hospital which took some up to eight hours.
It features 20 dialysis stations (five more than the Forest Hill centre) and two rooms dedicated to kidney dialysis.
This means up to 120 patients can be treated on three shifts – morning, afternoon and evening – during one day. Staff hope the modern and spacious room will provide a more comfortable environment for patients.
Lee Bellew, from Lewisham, was one of the first patients to receive dialysis at the new centre and said: "My first kidney failed when I was four, the second when I was 10, so I've been having dialysis for about 30 years.
"This new unit is perfect, very open and spacious, with more room between dialysis stations. "I come three times a week for four hours at a time, so it's important that it's comfortable.
It's the same staff as the old Forest Hill unit, and they're all brilliant. "The patients from the old unit were consulted on the design of the new unit and we asked for it to be on the ground floor, to be more spacious and to be decorated in neutral colours, and we've got all of those things.
The unit is staffed by the same team and operates the same opening hours as the Forest Hill centre, from 7am to 11.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Ros Tibbles, service improvement nurse at Guy's and St Thomas', said: "We're delighted to offer this new clinic to patients.
With 20 dialysis stations instead of the 15 we had at the Forest Hill centre, we can dialyse many more patients each week.
"The environment at the new centre is much more pleasant for patients and will bring vast improvements to comfort and privacy.
This is especially important for this group of patients who require dialysis three times a week, for four to five hours at a time.

State senators call for resignation of North Carolina Lt. Gov. after he said teaching kids about LGBTQ people was 'filth' and 'child abuse'
Zach Gibson / Stringer / Getty Images
Footage has leaked of North Carolina Lt. Gov. calling homosexuality "filth."
As a result, lawmakers are calling for his resignation.
The White House press secretary has also condemned the comments, calling them "repugnant."
State senators are calling for the resignation of a Lieutenant Governor after a video surfaced on social media of him espousing homophobic views.
The videos show Mark Robinson of North Carolina saying "there's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality -- any of that filth."
Now, North Carolina Democratic state senators Jeff Jackson and Wiley Nickel have called for Robinson to resign in light of his remarks.
The video, released by Right Wing Watch - an organization "dedicated to monitoring and exposing the activities and rhetoric of right-wing activists and organizations in order to expose their extreme agenda," according to its website - shows Robinson speaking at Asbury Baptist Church in Seagrove, North Carolina, in June 2021.
—Sen. Jeff Jackson (@JeffJacksonNC) October 7, 2021
He said that the teaching of LGBTQ facts, including homosexuality and transgenderism, is "child abuse".
"I'm saying this now, and I've been saying it, and I don't care who likes it -- those issues have no place in the school. There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality -- any of that filth. And yes, I called it filth, and if you don't like it that I called it filth -- come see me and I'll explain it to you," the lieutenant governor said in the video.
"Topics surrounding transgenderism and homosexuality should be discussed at home and not in public education," his office said in a statement to CNN.
Senator Jackson has said that these comments are "open discrimination" and "it is completely unacceptable," calling for Robinson's resignation.
Senator Nickel described Robinson as a "disgrace and an embarrassment" to North Carolina, adding to the calls for the Lieutenant Governor's resignation.
"I stand with the LGBTQ Community and hope you will join me in condemning this hate speech from the most senior Republican elected official in our state," Nickel added.
—Senator Wiley Nickel (@wileynickel) October 8, 2021
White House Press secretary Andrew Bates also added to the condemnation of the comments according to the Charlotte Observer, saying "These words are repugnant and offensive. The role of a leader is to bring people together and stand up for the dignity and rights of everyone; not to spread hate and undermine their own office."

Q: What are the functions of the first and last IP address of every subnet? I am new to IPs and subnets. I can calculate it and know the basics. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an answer to this question.

A: IPs ending on 0 designate the network address. Commonly, this address defines the route which traffic will be sent to.
Imagine that you have two routers connected by serial, so you have two subnets with 2 different private IPs: 10.0.0.0/8 and 11.0.0.0/8. /8 defines the address length in bits (Class A IP). First router will route traffic to 10.0.0.0 and second router will route traffic to 11.0.0.0.
IPs ending on 255 designate the broadcast address, a special address used to deliver packets to all hosts in the network.
For example, in case of ARP is very useful to locate/query other device's MAC by sending to the broadcast address a packet where you ask who has the MAC of a specefied IP. All the devices will capture your ARP request and if any of them has the specified IP, then you'll get a response with the MAC, but notice that you can be tricked since MAC can be impersonated (ARP Spoofing).
Regards.

Duterte reorganizes body tasked with Marawi rehabilitation
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, former task force head, now shares the vice chair position with Public Works Secretary Mark Villar

SHIFT IN FOCUS. As the government shifts to full-blown rehabilitation phase for Marawi, President Duterte reorganizes the task force in charge of it
MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte has reorganized the task force responsible for Marawi rehabilitation to reflect his administration's priority to "rebuild and develop" settlement areas affected by the 5-month war in the city.
Through Administrative Order No 9, released by Malacañang on Thursday, November 2, Duterte designated housing czar Eduardo del Rosario, a retired military general, as head of Task Force Bangon Marawi.
It's an amendment of an AO signed in June, creating the task force then headed by Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana. At the time, the Marawi conflict was just around a month old.

Duterte decided to reorganize the task force "in order to reflect the government's current priority to rebuild and develop the settlement areas affected by the armed conflict," according to the AO.
The defense chief is now co-vice chairman of the task force, along with Public Works Secretary Mark Villar.
The new AO also creates two sub-committees to be supervised by the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) chairperson.
First is the sub-committee on housing, responsible for the construction of temporary and permanent shelters, and the restoration of power, water, and other public utilities. This will be headed by the HUDCC.
Second is the sub-committee on security, peace, and order, to be led by the Department of National Defense and the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
Duterte first announced the new role of Del Rosario in Marawi's rehabilitation in a news briefing in Davao City on Tuesday night, October 31, upon his return from a trip to Japan. – Rappler.com

Has Frank Gore lost a step?
Sep/14/11 11:48 PM Filed in: Frank Gore
Was Frank Gore, who had 22 carries for 59 yards Sunday, slower than normal? It's a question I received over and over again during a Tuesday chat. After re-watching the game tape the answer is both, 'No, I don't think so' and, 'It's hard to tell.'
That's because Gore, as has been the case in recent seasons, had a hard time finding running room against a defense that was intent on stopping him. His No. 1 scourge was second-year safety Earl Thomas, whom you'll recall is the safety Pete Carroll chose in the first round last year, disappointing Taylor Mays in the process.
During the lead-up to the Seattle game, both Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman were asked separately about the Seahawks defense. The first name out of both of their mouths was Thomas', and he lived up to their compliments. He finished with eight tackles - fellow safety Kam Chancellor (a one-time Barrows draft crash, I might add. Bigthroatclear) had a game-high nine stops - and continually flew in from the secondary to trip up Gore. Indeed, Thomas had a very Polamalu-like performance on Sunday.
One sequence in the second quarter typifies what happened with the 49ers run game on Sunday. The 49ers were facing 3rd and 2 at the Seattle 29-yard line with 5:54 left in the half.
3rd &2: Alex Smith pitches wide to his left to Gore. Tight ends Delanie Walker and Vernon Davis block down on Seahawk defenders and left tackle Joe Staley, who is very good at hitting moving targets, goes wide and absolutely crushes Chancellor. Gore seemingly has plenty of room to pick up the first down and much more, but Thomas, who was initially 15 yards from the play, comes streaking in, steers Gore back to the inside and then cuts him down after only a yard pickup.
4th&1: The Seahawks jump off sides when Adam Snyder, who checked in as an eligible receiver, starts to go in motion.
1st&10: On one of the few plays where he has running room, Gore looks like his old self and picks up seven yards before he's tackled by Thomas.
2nd&3: The 49ers use a play they've been working on all offseason, one in which the run is set up to go one way but in which the team takes advantage of the defense's dedication to stopping Gore by breaking it the other way. Walker comes flying in to deliver a textbook block on Thomas, taking out his legs and wiping him out of the play. But despite running room, Gore can't get around the corner, and he is tackled by cornerback Brandon Browner a yard short of the first down. It's one of the plays in which Gore seemingly should have picked up more yards than he got and likely prompted the questions of fans. Gore seems to be nicked on the play, and Kendall Hunter comes in for the next few snaps.
3rd&1: Hunter is stopped for no gain by Chancellor, one of several instances where a Seahawks safety quickly penetrated the 49ers' backfield. A final bit of evidence that Gore is fine: Hunter finished the game with a 2-yard average on two carries. Gore's average was 2.7 yards.

Al Mahara- A Fabulous Restaurant at the First Seven Star Hotel- The Burj Al Arab
Kristen Taekman Updated: July 28, 2017
Known for being one of the most luxurious hotels in the world and often regarded as the first 7-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai is a site to see. The hotel was built on a triangular man-made island resembling a billowing sail, which makes it an iconic symbol of modern Dubai. The hotel rises over 1050ft and has the tallest lobby and atrium in the world designed with gold-leaf interiors. The Burj Al Arab sets a completely new standard for luxury hotels; all rooms are incredible suites spanning two floors with state-of-the-art appliances (such as gold-plated Ipad's) and over-the-top amenities such as a heliport, hovering tennis courts and 24/7 personal on call butlers. This magnificent destination pushes boundaries and offers as vast array of nightlife options and futuristic upscale dining experiences.
I had read exceptional reviews on one restaurant in particular, Nathan Outlaw At Al Mahara and decided to make reservations prior to arriving in Dubai. As I arrived at the Burj Al Arab, there was a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms lined up along the hotel. I quickly learned the Burj Al Arab has the worlds largest chauffeur-driven fleet of Rolls Royce's as guests have the option of arriving at the hotel either by luxury car service or dedicated helicopter transfer service. The hotel had one of the most impressive lobbies, with rich interior colors, 24-carat gold leaf pillars and vibrant aquariums, home to over four thousand fish, located right next to the escalators. This is luxury personified and something one could only imagine!
After stopping to admire the incredible décor present throughout the lobby and atrium, I made my way to the restaurant I had so eagerly wanted to try; Nathan Outlaws Al Mahara. This was by far one of the most incredible restaurants I have seen and truly offers a sensory experience from the moment you step foot inside the golden elevator. The experience starts with a simulated submarine ride from the reception area to the dining room. Al Mahara, translated from Arabic means oyster shell and upon entering the dining room, you will see a lavish gold oyster shell and the restaurants centerpiece, a cylindrical floor-to-ceiling aquarium. If you reserve ahead of time, you can request a table next to the glass tank filled with sea life. As we were escorted to our table, I was completely mesmerized by the aquarium filled with colorful fish, coral, stingrays and even sharks. At first, I was too thoroughly transfixed by the ethereal view of the aquarium to even notice the menu. The longer I stared at the aquarium, the more sea life I saw. As the waiter returned to take our drink orders, he explained to us the variety of sea life the lives in the tank. He was incredibly knowledgeable and believe it or not, I learned about a new species of shark (the guitar shark) before the appetizers even arrived. It takes a team of seven to maintain the enormous tank, including the expertise of a full-time marine biologist.
The menu at Al Mahara was equally as impressive as the décor. Chef Nathan Outlaw, who specializes in seafood, has taken the reins and runs the kitchen at Al Mahara. The seafood connoisseur is also a 2 Michelin Star chef (needless to say, the food was exceptional). The British award-wining chef is known for his signature lobster risotto and now that I have personally tried it, I understand why! It was incredible. I also ordered a seaweed and salt-baked sea bass that was prepared tableside. The food was delicious but I have to admit, the view of the aquarium was even more incredible. If you are in Dubai, I highly recommend staying at the Burj Al Arab and visiting Nathan Outlaw at Al Mahara. Both are incredibly luxurious experiences that you will forever remember.

Why are accreditation and standards systems important, and how can these can help organisations to measure, demonstrate, and report on their social impact?
A look at how our leaders can inspire a clear focus on social impact, and understand how to plan, implement and measure it effectively.
Looking at the importance of measuring and reporting on the impact your social enterprise creates for society and communities, and how you can begin this process, with examples of how Manor House Development Trust has gone about this.
In this session, Kate will look at to employ a Theory of Change approach to create the framework your organisation needs to record impact effectively, improve your programme, and communicate impact to your stakeholders. There will be the opportunity to try this out in the practical part of the session.
Many social enterprises survive on a succession of projects; they are essentially 'project organisations' and need to adopt some of the tools, techniques and attitudes of this class of organisation. These organisations need to develop a particular culture - without adopting structures and strategies that acknowledge their particular circumstances, their chances of success will be sub-optimal.
In this session, Kevin will facilitate a discussion around how social enterprises can operate as successful 'project organisations'.
Digital innovations and their impact on businesses and organisations are around us every day. We can all recognise how swiftly the advent of big data and analytics, cloud computing, social media, the Internet of Things and mobile can overturn conventional ways of doing business.
Investing in your digital skills is a must for every business at this time, but many businesses are yet to address these issues. This workshop will look at how leaders can develop their future plans and ambitions with digital at the very heart of those plans. We will look at examples of digital disruption and how social enterprises can prepare themselves well.
