Do you love pizza? Craving with different kinds of cheese.
Last Sunday, while busy working on my articles, I got to taste the newest addition to Angels Pizza's menu: Creamy Garlic and 5 Cheese Pizza from their Angels Pizza Pasta Combo treat .
I love Angels Pizza because it was freshly-baked dough pizza. On the 5 Cheese Pizza, topped with garlic and loaded with 5 classic cheeses; cheddar, pizza cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and feta.
Been a cheese and pizza lover, 5 Cheese Pizza spice up my tastebuds that day. Though with the strong flavor of garlic, Angels Creamy Garlic changes my craving satisfaction! I ate at least 4 slices of the said flavor. My fambam love it and I was able to share the goodness of the cheese delight of these pizza.
Aside from the two heavenly, yummy pizzas delivered into my doorstep, I love Angels' Classic Spaghetti with Garlic Bread Stick and Angels' Apple Turnover.
Angels' Creamy Garlic and 5 Cheese Pizza is available in Medium Pizza – a 9′ inch thick good for 2-3 persons at Php299, Family Pizza – 12'inch thick good for 4-5 persons at Php429 and Big Family – a 14'inch thick good for 6-7 persons at Php529 and Thin Crust Pizza 14'inch thin good for 6-7 persons.
Angels' Classic Spaghetti with Garlic Bread Sticks is a hefty serving of pasta for only Php80. And Angels' Apple Turnover's tender and flaky puffed dough with apple filling glazed with butter knocked out my hunger pangs, with a reasonably priced at Php70 per piece.
Got to taste this Angels Pizza Pasta Combo by calling their hotline: 922-2222 or order online .

Q: Calculating sub-total in each group I need report from multi table I use this query (SQL Server)
Select  CASE When ([bills].[BT] ='0' and [bills].[T] = 1 )Then 'Purchas1'
When([bills].[BT] ='0' and [bills].[T] = 3 ) Then 'Output'
When([bills].[BT] ='0' and [bills].[T] = 4 ) Then 'Input'
When [bills].[BT] ='1'  Then  'ٍSales'
When [bills].[BT] = '2' Then  'Prch2'
When [bills].[BT] = '3' Then  'ٍSales2'
When [bills].[BT] = '4'  Then 'SInput'
END AS BillType,
[mat].[Name] as Product,
[mat].[Code], [store].[Name],
SUM( [billInfo].[qty]) as Qtys
from [mat],[billInfo000],[store],[bu],[bills]
Where [bu].[TG] =[bills].[g]
and [billInfo].[ParentGUID] =[bu].[g]
and [billInfo].[StoreGUID] =[store].[g]
and [billInfo].[MatGUID] = [mat].[g]
Group by [bills].[BT],[bills].[T],[mat].[Name],
[mat].[Code],[store].[Name] ,[mat].[qty]

what i want is adding one row after each group with Calculating
If it's same Product and same code and store i need
collect purchase1+Input+Prch2+SInput minus Sales, Output, Sales2
Like This:

BillType | Product | Code | Name | Qtys
--------   -------   ----   ----   ----
Purchas1   Pro1      001    Main    150
Output     Pro1      001    Main    10
Sales      Pro1      001    Main    30
Purch2     Pro1      001    Main    50
Balance    Pro1      001    Main    160
Output     Pro1      001    Branch  10
Sales      Pro1      001    Branch  10
Balance    Pro1      001    Brabch  -20

Thanks

A: Not a ROLLUP but using a WITH statement and a UNION could do the trick just as wel.
The gist of it is to

*

*Store your original query in q using the WITH statement

*SELECT all from q

*Further refine the GROUP BY again from qto calculate the balances

*UNION the results together

The Never-Ending Halloween
Alex Aloi	November 4, 2018
I went to work yesterday, and they were playing Christmas songs. Christmas decorations were everywhere, and I had to assemble a cardboard replica of Santa's mailbox to hang gift cards on. And yet just a few days ago, I posted this on Instagram. Halloween hasn't been over for a full week, and already Christmas is dancing on it's dessicated corpse.
Of the two holidays, I have to say that I'm more of a fan of Halloween these days. Oh sure, I don't go trick-or-treating, and I spend more time with friends and family on Christmas than I do on Halloween. But I feel closer to the spirit of Halloween than Christmas. Maybe it's because Christmas has been commercialized out the wazzu (not that there isn't a huge commercial element to Halloween as well), or maybe it's because I'm sick of hearing about the War on Christmas from the more conservative side of the family. But honestly, I think it has more to do with Halloween being steeped in fantasy and horror, my two favorite genres both to write and to read.
Anyone who reads my blog should know I'm a fan of the macabre. I think I've posted more horror stories on this blog than any other genre. The same goes for the stories I post on my Patreon. I could make up some pretentious artistic explanation for why that is, such as horror being able to expose our underlying primal anxieties or whatever, but the truth is that I just find it fun to read scary stories and to write my own. I have ever since I was a kid. Seriously, you have no idea how many Goosebumps books I checked out of the school library.
A lot of my current projects revolve around horror, as well. Wednesday marked the premiere of the podcast TerrorTop, a Dungeons and Dragons Actual Play with Gothic and Lovecraftian elements. I've been working real hard on DMing the game and working together with my players to create a believable and terrifying world. We plan on releasing a new episode every other week, alternating with out sister podcast Quips and Crits.
In addition, I have been working on an urban fantasy/ horror themed indie tabletop RPG, which I hope to eventually be able to publish. Working on developing the rules has been really fun, especially since I decided to work on my own system instead of piggy back off of someone else's work. Unfortunately, that means I could very well screw up and create something unbalanced and not at all fun to play. But that's the basic risk that comes with making any game.
Finally, I'm continuing to write horror stories. I'll be posting a short flash fic later today, and I'm spending time that I'm not working on the RPG writing a longer story that I eventually hope to have published. if I can't publish it, I'll throw it on the Patreon and work on the next one. Eventually, I'll get good enough to be a published horror author. Halloween may be over, but I will never stop celebrating the spirit of the macabre.
WolfNut of Red Larch
Alex Aloi	October 26, 2018
The following is a parody Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. The lyrics are inspired by Acquisitions Incorporated: The C-Team. For best results, sing loudly while accompanied by a classic piano with an occasional guitar solo.
I saw WolfNut with a Draconic menu in her hand
walking through the streets of Red Larch in the rain.
She was looking for a place called the Yum Yum Hut.
Gonna get big plate of beef and romaine.
Hawooo! WolfNut of Red Larch
Hawoo!
See her howling round your dungeon door,
better not let her in!
Tiny little goblin got mutilated late last night.
WolfNut of Red Larch again!
She's that hairy handed creature
who ran amok in Nemezir.
Lately she's been overheard in Neverwinter.
Better stay away from her:
she'll rip your lungs out, sir!
Heh, I'd like to meet her armorer.
I saw Jim Darkmagic Walking with Omin Dran
dancing the WolfNut of Red Larch.
I saw Jim Darkmagic's clone walking with Omin Dran
I saw WolfNut drinking an ale at the Dran and Courtier.
Her hair was perfect.
Heh, draw blood!
Asexuality: My Story
I guess you would call this a coming out post. Doesn't really feel like coming out. A lot of other people already know about my sexuality. For instance, I list myself as asexual on Twitter and Mastodon. But I've not really talked about my sexuality much here on the blog. Well, this week is Asexual Awareness Week, so it seems like a good idea to talk about what being asexual means to me. And the best way I can do that is by telling a story.
I've always known there was something different about me when it comes to sex. Every dude I've ever known has been obsessed with sex and romance since middle school. I wasn't. I had the occasional crush, but I never fantasized about anyone sexually. Still, I felt tremendous pressure to lose my virginity. But this never happened. I never really asked anyone out, and the one time I tried to have a relationship, it was really awkward. Sex and romance just seemed so complicated and terrifying to me. I remained a virgin all through high school and into college.
At this time, I had no idea what asexuality was or that it was even an option. I knew gay straight, and bi were options, and I had had a couple crushes on girls, so I thought I was straight. I thought romance and sex went hand in hand. I had no idea there were people who didn't feel sexually attracted to anyone. I didn't really understand asexuality until I read Girls With Slingshots by Danielle Corsetto. One of the Characters, Erin, was asexual. The comic explored her romantic relationship with Jamie, a woman who was sexually attracted to men. The two of them ended up entering into an open relationship so that Jamie could continue to have sex without Erin having to be a part of something she didn't want to be in.
Girls With Slingshots did a great job of introducing th subject of asexuality to me, but unfortunately also left me with the assumption that asexual people don't like sexual contact of any kind, something that actually isn't true. This in turn led me to believe that asexual people don't masturbate, and that because I had masturbated before, I was disqualified.
Then, in Senior year, I had a bad episode of depression that lasted for several months and almost took me out of school completely. While i recovered from this, I decided that I definitely wasn't ready for any kind of sexual or romantic encounter. I started referring to myself as "happily single." Not long after, I got a job and was able to donate to artists via Patreon for the first time. I discovered the webcomic Beefpaper, which is drawn by Shane Sheenan, who is asexual. Not long after, I discovered Hoi Butt a comic by Shane's then-partner-now-spouse Tasha Dancy, who is on the Asexual spectrum as well. More importantly, I began donating to shane on Patreon and, as a result, I got to hang out with him and Tasha online. Reading their comics and talking with them helped me to understand that Asexuality is a spectrum, and that there was room for me on it. They helped to dispel some myths, including the myth that asexuals don't masturbate.
Discovering my asexuality helped me to understand myself better. It freed me from the trap of believing that sexuality is compulsory and put a name on the feelings I had been having all my life. And in the process, I had met people like myself, who I could relate to. I no longer feel strange or alone. I feel valid and real.
I wouldn't have found this, however, if it hadn't been for my habit of reading obscure comics. I didn't know asexuality existed before I read GWS, and i couldn't be sure I was asexual until I had talked to Shane and Tasha. Asexuality is very unrepresented in media. Many people don't know it exists, and even when it is represented, it often is stereotypical in certain fashions. That is why things like Asexual Awareness week are so important: they help let people know that the asexual spectrum exists and that asexuality is a valid identity.
Nikos the Younger, Asexual Eladrin Warlock, as drawn by Tasha Dancy.
For my part, I'm doing what i can as an artist to change that.Nikos, the character I play on Quips n Crits, is Asexual. I made him that way specifically for the purpose of representation. He fulfills a few stereotypes, but he is based on myself in certain ways, so I feel he at least brings a bit of representation into the realm of D&D Actual Play. He won't be the last character I make that's asexual, either: I plan on putting quite a few asexual characters in my writing from now on. Expect to see a couple in some upcoming stories.
I hope sharing my story helps people to understand asexuality a bit more, as well as highlights the importance of representation in media. felling seen and valid is important to the human experience. Everyone deserves that feeling, no matter who they love – or who they don't love, as the case may be.
World Mental Health Day 2018
I've talked on here before about my struggles with depression and anxiety. I've dealt with these diseases most of my adult life. I nearly had to drop out of college because of them. Luckily, I was able to find help for my condition and begin treatment. So far, especially recently, it's been incredibly effective. I'm more positive than I have been for years. I'm able to deal with my anxieties in a more effective manner. I'm even able to work through my frustrations more. But I'm privileged in this regard. not everyone has access to the kind of help that I have been able to get. So today, instead of doing a story or a poem, I want to share a few things you can do to fight the stigma against mental illnesses and help out those who suffer from them.
The first thing you can do, if you have the money, is donate to a charity or organization that helps people with mental illnesses find treatment and support. The National Alliance on Mental Illness is one such organization. They provide help and support to many people throughout the United States. If you are a gamer, a good organization to donate to is Take This, which works to fight the stigma in the gaming community and provide resources to help people with mental illnesses at gaming conventions.
The second thing you can do is listen and be there for people in your life who have mental illnesses. If you know someone who suffers from a mental illness, try and be there for them to talk to. Listen to their experiences and try not to judge them for what they've been through. Let them know that you are there for them and that you want to understand and help however you can.
The most important thing you can do, if you yourself suffer from a mental illness or think you might have one, is to take care of yourself. If you think you might have an illness talk to someone. If you are scared of talking to a professional, talk to a friend or family member. If you need time by yourself, take it. If you have a creative pursuit, work on it a bit. Do whatever you can do to try and keep yourself going, because you are valued and wonderful just for being alive.
I hope this post helps people to understand how they can do something productive to help a person with a mental illness. I'll post something more creative soon. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and each other.
Alex Aloi	October 5, 2018
In a small coffee shop in Cleveland, Ohio, not far from Playhouse Square, two men were discussing the state of the war. One of them, a redhead with glasses and a flat cap, seemed particularly agitated. "The president said he wasn't ruling it out," he said. His friend, a tall bald man with a long beard, just shook his head. "They already used them in the Middle East," continued the red-headed man.
"There is a significant difference," said the bearded man, "between using nuclear weapons on foreign soil and using them against American citizens. Even if they are rebels."
Jared listened to the two men as he swept the floor behind the counter. He knew eavesdropping on them was rude, but he couldn't help it. It was that time of evening when hardly anyone showed up. Not many people needed coffee after six o'clock. He and Kelly barely needed to do anything. Jared looked around the shop at the customers. Apart from the two politically-minded individuals, there was a middle-aged couple a few tables away. The husband had on a Cavs jacket and an Indians baseball cap. Every so often he would turn away from his wife and look over at the two men discussing politics. His wife, meanwhile, was trying to keep him engaged in their own conversation, which had to do with school choices for their children and how they were going to pay for college. The only other person in the coffee shop was a young woman, around college age, who was pretending to study a calculus textbook but kept checking her phone every few minutes.
Looking around, Jared realized that, once again, everyone in the coffee shop was white. This wasn't surprising: people of color hadn't been coming to the coffee shop for a long time. Jared recalled one particular Middle Eastern couple, neighbors of his named Aleah And Brahim, who used to be regulars. Aleah would get a medium latte and Brahim enjoyed a large black coffee. One day, while Jared was driving to work, he noticed a couple of black vans parked in front of their house. They stopped showing up to the coffee shop after that, and the next time Jared drove by their house there was a for sale sign in front of it.
Even the staff of the coffee shop was now completely white. Jared's friend Jamal had left the coffee shop a little over a month ago. Rumor was that he'd run away to New York City, deep in rebel territory, with one of the regulars, Marcus, who he had been dating. Jared liked Marcus. Marcus would come in and order a latte with a shot of pumpkin spice every fall, and Jamal would laugh. "You're such a little white girl, Marcus," he'd say. But if Jamal and Marcus had been planning on fleeing to New York, they had never told Jared. Sometimes Jared wondered what had really happened to the two of them. Were they really going to New York? If so, did they make it there? Did Jamal join up with the rebel army, or were they living peaceful, civilian lives?
"Would you really put it past the president to go that far?" the redheaded man asked his friend. "He's always said that we need to get tough on them."
"But what happens when the war ends, and there's a big radioactive crater where New York used to be?" replied the bearded man. "Think of all the money that would need to go into the rebuilding effort. Do you really think that the president wants to spend that much, especially with the national debt as high as it is?"
"I suppose not," conceded his friend. "God, can you just imagine, though? All that destruction, thousands of people dead. And not just troops, but civilians, too." The bearded man nodded, a grim look on his face.
The man in the Indians cap leaned towards the two gentlemen. "Hey," he said. The men ignored him.
His wife put a hand on his shoulder. "Jack, don't," she admonished. Jack ignored her.
"Hey," he said again, louder. Again, the two men ignored him. Jack got up from his seat.
"Hey, you ginger fuck," he said, "you some kind of rebel sympathizer?"
That got everyone's attention. Even the woman in the booth stopped pretending to study and was now looking up at the scene unfolding a couple of tables away from her. The red-headed man turned to face his accuser. "I'm sorry?" he asked, a bewildered look on his face.
"I asked," said Jack, "if you and your friend were a couple of rebel-loving traitors."
"Of course not," said the redheaded man. "I wasn't—"
"Because it seems to me," said Jack, interrupting him, "that any real American wouldn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for these traitors. If they wind up dead in a crater, then I say they got what's coming to them."
"But what about the civilians?" asked the redheaded man.
"Anyone who's over there with the rebels is just as guilty as any rebel," said Jack. "They're just as guilty of abandoning American values as the rest of them, and they deserve to die just the same."
"Even the women and children?" asked the bearded man.
"Everyone," said Jack. "Which brings us back to you two rebel-lovers."
Jack's wife stood up and put her hand on his shoulder. "Jack, stop," she said. "They're not worth it."
"Shut it, Martha," barked Jack, pushing her hand off him. He stepped towards his two targets. "I think we should have a look inside your houses," he said. "I'd bet we'd find some interesting stuff." He inched closer. "Stuff like letters to rebel soldiers. Maybe even a prayer rug or two."
Jared could see where this was going, and he knew he needed to put a stop to it. "Hey," he said.
Jack turned to look at him. "What?" he asked, annoyed.
Jared swallowed a lump in his throat. Jack was at least six feet tall, and he had a chest like a barrel of whiskey. Standing across from him, Jared felt like a housecat that had just picked a fight with a mountain lion. He shook himself out of it. It was too late to back down now. "If you're going to continue to harass our customers," said Jared, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Jack turned towards Jared, directing his fury at the barista. "Oh yeah?" he said. "You a rebel-lover, too?"
Jared pointed at the flag by the door. "You see that?" he said. "I put that there myself." He hadn't, but Jack didn't need to know that. "Now, do you see the sign next to it? The one that says 'We reserve the right to refuse service to anybody?'"
Jack didn't say anything. He just stood there, his eyes going over every inch of Jared's face as if he were memorizing it. Jared felt a sinking feeling grow in the pit of his stomach. He knew what happened to the people who spoke up. Everyone did. One day a friend or acquaintance of yours would be running their mouth off. A few days later, they were gone without a trace. No one ever wondered where they had gone off to. Not aloud, anyway.
Finally, Jack broke his gaze from Jared's face and sat back down at the table with Martha. A haze of tension seemed to drain away, and the coffee shop returned to a level of normalcy. The woman in the booth went back to her textbook. Jack and Martha tittered away about the educational prospects of their children. Jared continued sweeping the floor. And the redheaded man and his bearded friend began conversing again, albeit in more hushed tones. The malaise of a lazy Ohio evening began to take hold once again.
A few minutes later, the woman in the booth got up and asked for a refill on her mocha. Kelly rung her up at the register while Jared began making the drink. As she waited, the woman once again whipped out her phone and began scrolling through what must have been status updates. At last Jared finished her drink and brought it over to her.
"Here's your drink, miss," he said, holding the cup out for her to take. The woman didn't respond. Jared struggled not to roll his eyes. "Miss, your drink," he said again. The woman still didn't respond. She was staring at her phone, her face completely pale, as if all the blood had rushed out of her at once.
"Oh my God," she said, her eyes glued to the screen.
Jared was becoming a bit impatient. "Miss," he said again, more forcefully, "your drink."
"They did it," said the woman, her voice shaking. "They actually did it."
Something in her tone unnerved Jared. He began to feel that something was wrong. "What did they do?" he asked.
"New York just got hit with a nuclear missile strike."
Every eye in the shop shifted towards the woman. For what felt like hours, no one said a word. Slowly, Jared put down the mocha in his hands. Then he began taking off his apron. For a moment, he just stood there with his apron off, not doing anything, not saying a word.
"Kelly," he said finally, "I'm not feeling very well. I'm going to go home." Kelly didn't say anything. Jared went to get his coat from the back of the shop.
"Am I just going to be here by myself, then?" Kelly asked suddenly, as if she had just awoken from a trance.
Jared almost told Kelly to call Jamal, but he stopped himself before uttering it. "Call Brent," he said instead. "He owes me a favor, anyway." He heard Kelly sigh.
"OK," she said.
Jared grabbed his coat and walked outside. The sun had just finished setting, and a cool night breeze wafted through the air. There was a National Guardsman patrolling the street, his eyes scanning up and down the sidewalk on both sides. Eventually those eyes came to rest on Jared. Jared kept his head down and didn't say anything.
I wrote this story about a year ago. I tried to get it published in a punk zine, but that didn't work out. I didn't try to get it published elsewhere. I was afraid it would be seen as "too political."

A Dance at the End of the World
Take up your lyre and strike up the band.
Dance all you want, for the end's close at hand.
The world that we know will soon be no more.
Its refuse and debris shall wash up on the shore
of a darkly lit island at the end of all things,
where the Lord of the Void and the Judge of True Kings
will tally our faults, our sins and our crimes,
and weigh them against our more innocent times.
They will judge if we're fit to dwell in the sky
or to be ground into dust and finally die.
So although we can't know our ultimate fate,
let's take pleasure from life before it's too late!

Has it really been July since I've updated this blog? Man, I really have been in my own head, haven't I?
I'm still getting the hang of juggling my OfficeMax job with the other things I want to do, but the good news is that I'm more happy and motivated than I have been in a long time. Having a steady job gives me a bit of financial security, so I can focus on other things and not have to worry about paying my student loans. It of course helps that my parents have been letting me stay with them, so I am privileged int his regard. Still, it's a load off my shoulders and has greatly reduced my anxiety.
I've been doing a lot of work on various projects, most of which are related to role playing games in some form. The first one I should mention is Quips n Crits, a Dungfeons and Dragons fifth edition actual play podcast with some homebrew rules. I play Nikos the Younger, an Eladrin Warlock who has become the firs of his kind to step onto the material plane in generations. He joins an eclectic cast of characters including Breeze the Tabaxi bard, Tribute the Tiefling Paladin, Cas the Half-Elf Eldritch Knight, Talos the Half-Orc Cleric, and Adela the Water Genasi Druid. Their current quest: figure out how to stop a pirate captain from killing everyone while also tracking down Breeze's long-lost family and there's also this thing about a war between the elementals and the gods and…you know what? It will make more sense if you go listen to it.
The second major project goes off of the first. On Halloween, a new 5e actual play podcast will premiere. With myself as the Dungeon Master, and a number of my friends as the players, the new podcast explores the Gothic city of Godsfall, a plce where monsters stalk the streets at night and strange conspiracies intertwine. Pray you are one of the lucky ones who can sleep at night in the city without worrying about what's lurking down below. The podcast is called TerrorTop, and it brings Gothic/Lovecraftian horror to the realm of D&D actual play. It is legitimately the best campaign I have ever run and I am so excited that I get to share it with the world. Head on over to the facebook page, or follow Quips n Crits, as TerrorTop will be premiering on the same podbean channel.
Also, check out this amazing cover art by Evan La Medica:
The final project is still in development. I am talking with an artist friend about a collaboration. Specifically, a webcomic, one that I will write and they will draw. We are still working on character designs, so don't expect anything soon. Suffice it to say there is still a lot of work to be done. But we are both very excited about the project and cannot wait until it goes live!
And that is what I'm up to. Hopefully I will get a chance to post something again relatively soon. And I definitely plan to post once TerrorTop goes live.

Albania's 2008 Eurovision singer Olta Boka is taking to the stage again. However this time she is not going to sing one note! She is a contestant on the Albanian dancing show called 'Dance With Me'.
It is similar to the BBC show 'Strictly Come Dancing' where celebrities are partnered with dancing experts – in this case Devis Mukor. Olta began her campaign last week on the show and she proved that she can dance just as good as she can sing!
Olta certainly has a passion for the Latin dancing. You may remember that it was this time last year that Olta performed the amazing Tango inspired song "Zemrën E Lamë Peng".
It was 2008 when Olta came to our attention when she took Albania to the Grand Final of Eurovision with her song "Zemrën e lamë peng" that placed 17th in the contest.
Yet another Eurovision singer that has taken to the dance floor this year with Blue's Simon Webbe taking part in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing at present.


Longmen, Guangdong, China – C&C DESIGN CO., LTD.
The Bamboo Villa sits hidden within the Nakun Mountains. It is surrounded by a lush forest with a delicate stream nearby. The design focuses on the use of bamboo as the principal material.
Bamboo Villa stands on stilts, supported by 32 wooden stakes.
The architects avoided using concrete as much as possible, highlighting the intricacies of bamboo. Conventional building techniques were utilized as they stay true to local architecture and culture. River stones, roofing tiles, and puddle walls were used in the building process.
Bamboo Villa, eight structures in all, stands on stilts – 32 wooden stakes in all. It has an open courtyard toward the back, with wet and dry areas.
Simple, charming, and charismatic – a beauty on its own.
The structure is simple yet charming – exuding a charisma all of its own. Backed by a stunning landscape, Bamboo Villa is the perfect escape away from the harried life.
The beauty of coexistence is about life and also death; it is about eternity and also instant; it is about scenery and also us in the scenery.
The Eight Bamboo Villas in Nankun Mountain are half hidden in green mountain by a stream, they are just like the eight sages in the bamboo forest accompanies by faint flowery fragrance and birds' tweet. In here bathing in hot spring and watching the changing world, it enables people to feel the low-profile leisure and the beauty of simplicity "from the nature and returning to the nature".
Aesthetics, is not merely visual, but more of care, which includes not only respect to human beings, but also veneration to the Nature.
Bamboo villa's interior design was designed by C&C DESIGN CO., LTD. The design director Peng Zheng has localized the initial plan, blended local architectural culture and elements into it and added the backyard in the style of Hakka house based on understanding on the master's architectural design.
The interior and exterior design of bamboo villa is inspired by Hakka house. The space layout contains stilted structure in the front with open courtyard in the back and dry and wet areas. The front part is stilted building supported by 32 wooden stakes, including guest room and viewing balcony; the back part is the hot spring area in the style of open courtyard, including wet area, hot spring pool and outdoor terrace. Thanks to reconstruction of the hot spring area, the function and artistic beauty of the architecture have been improved.
The bamboo resource in Nankun Mountain has provided abundant construction material for us. From construction to decoration, bamboo is not only an architectural element, but also an interior decoration element. We try to avoid using concrete as far as possible, for example we have absorbed inspiration from local houses and invited local craftsmen who can construct puddle wall to build puddle wall for our backyard. This is a type of construction for folk architecture which is almost lost in history. Bamboo, puddle wall, roofing tile, river stone and bamboo forest form a low-key but unique architectural landscape with local characters.
Speaking of bamboos, check out The Yoga Pavilion at Four Seasons in Bali, Indonesia.


This cool installation Composition at Music City Center in Nashville by American artist Aaron T Stephans takes inspiration from small model kits in which pieces are snapped off a central grid. But instead of small parts, Aaron T Stephan's unique work consists of over a hundred life-sized musical instruments. The stark white instruments made by painted aluminum and plastic are organized in a similar grid-like form and create a rhythmic dynamic with the surrounding architecture. Love the contrast between the industrial look and the vivid musical instruments. Via Lustik.

Succeeding in the era of shared project oversight
With LOBs increasingly driving technology spend, IT and business leaders must learn how to share authority over projects effectively without killing them.
By Minda Zetlin

A life sciences company needed a new project lifecycle management system for the maintenance of one of its products. It seemed important to involve all stakeholders, so a cross-functional steering committee was formed. It included the top leaders from IT, engineering, quality, and operations. All four functions had equal ownership of the project.
These four very senior leaders couldn't agree on anything, not even how to structure the work. "They were using a stage gate mode [i.e. waterfall] process in the business," recalls Srini Datla, practice vice president of digital manufacturing at Sogeti, the technology and engineering division of Capgemini. "They liked running things that way, but when you have an IT project owner, there's a different methodology and a different mindset. There was a clash over 'How do we do this?' and a clash of egos, too."

Part of the problem, he says, is that the four executives did not agree at the outset about how difficult decisions would be handled. "How do you call the shots?" Datla says. "If you're voting, you cannot do a tie-breaker." No one had anticipated that these very senior leaders would not be able to come to an understanding among themselves. Because they all held the top role in their respective disciplines, the only authority who could act as referee was the company's CEO — who was in a different geography and not available for that task. With no way forward, the project was eventually scrapped.
This is the kind of thing that can happen when LOB leaders and IT share authority over technology. Yet more and more projects and initiatives are being managed exactly this way. Our recent State of the CIO Survey revealed that when lines of business or business departments purchase technology with funds from their own budgets — which happens at 87 percent of the responding companies — IT and business leaders share oversight of those projects nearly half the time.
This is partly due to the explosion of software-as-a-service offerings, and business' growing understanding that there are drawbacks to purchasing these services on their own. "Because you can consume the public cloud and SaaS, it's led businesses to do that really quickly and not necessarily involve IT," says Ryan Douglas, CIO of ecommerce services company Digital River. "They got the business benefit but there were also pitfalls." Meantime, he says, "IT teams have become better at filling that role of delivering things quickly." As a result, he says, "Business and IT are sharing responsibility for a lot of projects."
Chris Hunt, CTO at Bankers Healthcare Group, which provides loans to the healthcare industry, estimates that 70 to 80 percent of the projects his team works on are co-sponsored by a business department and IT. "That's a lot more than when I started here six years ago," he says. That's a good thing, he adds. "The No. 1 thing we're seeing is a lot more project success overall. It's no longer just IT trying to implement something."
Whether they embrace the benefits or fear the challenges of sharing authority over a project with business leaders, IT leaders are likely to find themselves in that situation more often in the coming years for one simple reason: The overwhelming majority of organizations now make technology purchases from LOB budgets and not just IT's budget.
"Business leaders want value for their money," says Satya Sachdeva, vice president for business information management at Sogeti. "They don't want to just give money to IT to go run a project and see us next year — a lot of IT projects fail when they're solely run by IT. In a lot of organizations, business does not trust IT, so business wants a stake in the ground and to run the project. That is a whole factor behind joint ownership of these projects."
Given that shared oversight is a fact of life, how can IT leaders and business leaders work together effectively to jointly manage a technology project? Here's some advice from some who've been there.
1. Begin by agreeing on goals
Bob Bruns, CIO and CISO of global consulting company Avanade, recently completed a project to move the company's entire website to a new platform. The first step was for him and CMO Stella Goulet to agree on how the project's success would be measured.
"Marketing came up with their success criteria," he says. "And from a technology perspective we agreed on some combined metrics, and that we would share accountability for them." For example, he says, there were goals for increasing actively engaged visitors, which went up 33 percent, and for click-through rates for target visitors, which went up 72 percent.
One reason the project was so successful, he says, is that he and Goulet had a good relationship right from the start. "Due to that strong partnership, there was this natural viewpoint that if it was more of a technology decision, she would default to me, and if it was more of a marketing decision, I would default to her," he explains. He adds that the good relationship between the CIO and CMO "cascaded down" to the IT and marketing teams. "I think not having those shared metrics or common goals would be a mistake because then people have an incentive to focus on their own area and not something else."
That's exactly what happened to a company where Hunt once worked. "There were discrepancies in plans for the rollout of some manufacturing software. The operational VP didn't want to concede on a certain path, and we got to the point where the ultimate decision was made by the CEO, and it wasn't favorable to the operational part of the company. So that trickles down to the operational team and the technology team," he says. "And now you have teams working against each other's success. If you don't have a cohesive top level, you get that environment."
Seventy percent of that project had been completed in the three months before this conflict erupted, he adds. Six months later, when Hunt left for a different job, no further progress had been made on the remaining 30 percent. "The overarching message is: Align your leaders and align your goals," he says.
You might have to align goals and agree on procedures with leaders from several different disciplines or departments rather than just one. "Take the example of a medical device company looking at performing robotic surgeries remotely," Datla says. "You need to know how to use a surgical instrument, but you also need mechanical engineering skills, you need someone who knows how to operate a robot, potentially across the globe, so you need cloud expertise as well."
Having all the stakeholders involved from the start gives the project its best chance of success. "To turn digital investments into business successes requires hunting in packs," he says.
2. Assign IT employees to specific verticals within your organization
Both for specific projects and for ongoing work, IT leaders are finding it's smart to assign specific IT employees to focus on the needs of a particular line of business or department.
"They're what I call business relationship managers, so we have a person who's responsible for the success of each of the groups — marketing, HR, and finance," Bruns says. "What are their business outcomes and how are we empowering them to be successful? That has gone a long way to form relationships. I'm thinking of changing the name to success managers."
These employees work closely with LOB or department employees who focus on technology for that discipline. "In marketing, most of their primary knowledge is marketing, but some might have a secondary knowledge of IT," Bruns says. "And the relationship managers have a primary knowledge of IT but a secondary knowledge of marketing. So they can talk in a mutual language."
At Bankers Healthcare Group, using a similar approach made all the difference. "Our biggest challenge has always been that we have different geographic locations," Hunt says. "Our core development and business analyst teams reside in Florida. We had a pool of developers who would take on whatever projects came in, so they were jacks of all trades and masters of none. We found that model was kind of failing, so we said, 'Let's start aligning these resources with the verticals themselves.'"
Hunt and his team rearranged the IT offices so that developers and other techies were grouped with others working for the same vertical. "We started mandating travel to other offices, just in the beginning, because it's hard to trust each other if you don't have that personal relationship," he says. "It's a very interesting thing — I've been in IT my whole career and what we're starting to see is, there's a big people component. We hadn't established relationships with the business, and the business hadn't established relationships with us."
One result is that the LOB executives working on projects began embracing the agile method more than they previously had. "That was actually the turning point," Hunt says.
3. Make sure to share both rewards and risks between business and IT
Managing risk together is essential for the success of joint projects, Sachdeva says. "Having common risk assessment sessions, mitigation strategies, and reviewing the impact of risk is very important. Business should understand what could go wrong in IT and how that could affect the project costs and timeline."
And it goes both ways, he says. "We need to understand both sides. There could be risks associated with the business as well. Do they know exactly what they want? Are they getting ready to change business processes while IT is getting ready to give them new technology? Changes to business processes is a risk people underestimate and it comes back to bite you down the road."
That can lead to shelfware, where a new technology is implemented and working, but users don't adopt it, Sachdeva says. "I've seen $25 million projects meet that fate."
This sort of thing is one reason Sachdeva is a big believer in business and IT managing projects together. "Shared oversight is critical for preventing that, in my mind," he says. "Without this joint oversight, projects, especially large projects, will fail or not give you the desired ROI."
When things go right, it's just as important to share successes and celebrations as it is to share risks, experts say. "Something which I think is hugely important — when we talk about this program we share the credit," Bruns says.
At Avanade's largest monthly executive meeting, both Bruns and CMO Goulet make joint announcements about their work to the rest of the organization. At a vendor conference, they took the stage together to talk about their project and receive an award.
"It's this notion that we're accepting the award together, we're accepting the successes and failures together," he says. "And Stella is always the first one to say, 'In partnership with our technology group we were empowered to get this done.'"

Firefighters have been tackling a blaze next to one of Sheffield's busiest roads today.
Witnesses said the flames spread across grassland next to the A61 Chesterfield Road South close to the junction with Lowedges Road, Lowedges, at about noon.
Fire crews were spotted at the scene extinguishing the blaze.
There has been a spate of grass fires during the recent heatwave prompting fire chiefs to appeal for members of the public to consider fire safety measures.
Tony Carlin, head of emergency response at South Yorkshrie Fire and Rescue, said: "Our crews are providing a fantastic service in what are clearly very hot, difficult firefighting conditions. We are proud of each and every one of our firefighters and control operators and they are rightly receiving praise from the public during what is a busier than usual period for us.
"But with the forecast set to remain warm and dry for several weeks, we really need people to help us, help them by taking some basic precautions to prevent fires. For example, take rubbish with you if you are out and about in the countryside as glass bottles and cigarette ends can easily start fires.
"We'd much rather people put off having garden bonfires until the hot, dry weather has subsided, but if you do insist on having a fire make sure it is sited well away from sheds, buildings and trees and don't leave it unattended.

Will 2014 GOP Success Equal 2016 Victory?
Posted by Political Quarterback 17pc on March 18, 2014
A year after trying to make sense of their 2012 losses, the GOP is gearing up for big 2014 wins.
Senate control looks within their grasp and Republicans aren't in any danger of losing the House, but their optimism could be shortsighted. Strategists say the GOP still hasn't done enough to expand and grow their party to win the White House in two years.
"I'm concerned we're going to make a lot of gains in 2014 and people are going to confuse that with success at the national level and learn the wrong lessons. It's two different electorates," said GOP consultant Ford O'Connell.
Republicans have the wind at their backs heading into the fall. A poor national climate for Democrats driven by President Obama's sagging approval ratings, an older, whiter mid-year electorate and a favorable Senate map all give them big advantages.
But in 2016, none of that will be true. In a presidential year where they need to appeal to Hispanics, women and young voters, the GOP's response to its "autopsy" a year ago has fallen short in many places. Immigration reform is all but dead, the party is still grappling with off-message remarks from some candidates.
All those faultlines were addressed in the Republican National Committee's "Growth and Opportunity Project," which celebrates its one-year mark Tuesday. The lengthy internal critique of what had gone wrong for the party in 2012 and how they needed to change in order to be able to win over an increasingly diverse electorate stressed those concerns and more.
Republicans credit RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and his staff for making great strides on data, technology and get-out-the-vote operations, the things they have the most control over. They crow about last week's Florida special-election win in a district President Obama carried twice. But some worry that on the report's other recommendations, the party has failed to follow the RNC's lead.

Pills could prove COVID game changer
Harvard experts in medical therapeutics say the recent development of pills to treat COVID-19 may turn out to be a pandemic game changer for a simple reason: When it comes to treating the ailment, the earlier the better.
Mark Namchuk, executive director of Harvard Medical School's Therapeutics Initiative, said pills have some clear advantages over existing treatments — the drug remdesivir and a handful of antibody therapies — because they are by comparison easy to transport, store, and administer. The other treatments must be given intravenously and have largely been reserved for use by the sickest patients confined to medical facilities late in their illness' course.
Namchuk said that assuming the pills are made widely available, they can be prescribed soon after symptoms start at home, with nothing else required to administer them beyond possibly a glass of water.
"They're both oral, so much easier to get them distributed to folks early in their illness and make them more broadly available," said Namchuk, professor of the practice of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology. "The efficacy is very encouraging, but the route of administration opens up the possibility of using it more broadly."
The assessment comes after reports by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics that their COVID-19 pill — currently being reviewed by federal regulators — lowers risk of hospitalization and death by 50 percent, and on the heels of last week's promising results by Pfizer Inc., which said a Phase 2/3 study of its pill showed that it cuts risk of hospitalization and death by 89 percent. The Pfizer results were so promising the study was halted early, the company said. About 1 percent of study participants (6 out of 607) were hospitalized, and none died after 28 days. That compared with 6.7 percent (41 out of 612) hospitalized in the control group, with 10 subsequently dying. The company also plans to seek FDA emergency use authorization to market the pill.
"The ability to be able to get something as a tablet or a pill that you can ship everywhere, that's room-temperature stable, doesn't require any complicated intervention, is a really important next step for the current pandemic."
— Mark Namchuk
Jonathan Abraham, assistant professor of microbiology and, with Namchuk, co-leader of the Massachusetts Consortium on Pathogen Readiness' Therapeutics Working Group, said the ability to mass-produce a stable, long-lasting pill will likely mean far fewer people wind up needing hospitalization. That will enhance protection of society's most vulnerable and ease the strain the pandemic continues to exert on the nation's health care system.
"This is a game changer from the standpoint of being able to get a direct-acting antiviral in a person's system as quickly as possible," Abraham said. "There was a lot of excitement about monoclonal antibodies — and there still is — but the big issue there has been the rapidity at which those can actually be administered. I think the biology of these viruses teaches us we just need to be able to treat these types of infections as early as possible."

Abraham said vaccination will remain an important tool to fight the virus, as will public health measures that are likely to remain useful against any new variant that might emerge. He added, though, that an effective treatment will be an important boon for vulnerable people, particularly if it both eases symptoms and reduces transmission.
"The key to me in terms of the bigger question of how this changes the landscape of the pandemic is really one of how do we prevent transmission?" Abraham said. "And the biggest question is, how are we doing at protecting our most vulnerable populations, including the elderly?"
Namchuck said the pill form also means that, once production ramps up, it can make a big impact in parts of the world struggling to acquire vaccine doses or whose lack of infrastructure hampers the distribution of vaccines that need deep refrigeration to retain effectiveness.
"The ability to be able to get something as a tablet or a pill that you can ship everywhere, that's room-temperature stable, doesn't require any complicated intervention, is a really important next step for the current pandemic," Namchuk said.
The two companies' pills operate by different mechanisms. The Merck drug, called molnupiravir, inserts errors into the virus' genetic code to disrupt replication. The Pfizer drug, Paxlovid, is a protease inhibitor, a class of drugs developed in the fight against HIV and Hepatitis C with which there are decades of experience. Paxlovid also attacks SARS-CoV-2's ability to replicate, but by interfering with the process by which proteins important in reproduction are "cut" from precursor molecules, rendering them unusable by the virus. Abraham speculated that the drugs will likely need to be administered with a second drug that in combination reduces the chances of the virus becoming drug resistant.
Namchuk said the development of pills has been fairly swift, though it has lagged that of vaccines. The Merck drug had been tested earlier for flu, and Pfizer leveraged its past experience seeking treatments for the original SARS virus.
Both companies tested their drugs on high-risk adults, but Namchuk said that if the pills become widely available, they could potentially also be used in conjunction with vaccines to fight breakthrough infections and even, if their safety profiles are robust enough for wide use, as a precaution before symptoms develop among those exposed to COVID.
"When you think about the impact of a drug like that, being able to be broadly distributed and using it even in patients where they've been exposed but are not showing symptoms, that could be really beneficial," he said.

(Washington, D.C., June 26, 2013) The state of Minnesota and the city of Oakland, Calif., are the latest local or state governments to approve bird-friendly building design requirements. Oakland has adopted requirements similar to those established in neighboring San Francisco, Calif. in 2011, while Minnesota followed LEED's (Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design) "Reducing Bird Collisions" program. In Illinois, several jurisdictions—Cook County, Highland Park, Lake County, and Evansville—have existing or pending guidelines while national legislation has been proposed in Congress.
Dr. Sheppard worked extensively with officials in San Francisco, along with Noreen Weedon from Golden Gate Audubon, to develop the city's bird-friendly requirements. Sheppard has been presenting continuing education classes on the issue to architecture firms across the country upon request, and authored the only national publication on the issue: American Bird Conservancy's Bird-Friendly Building Design.
Minnesota's bird-safe building guidelines address eight major areas, including: pre-design site selection; schematic design; design development; construction documents; construction administration; construction; correction period; and ongoing occupancy. The guidelines specifically recommend such things as planning deterrent facades for areas that are bird attractants; reducing bird collision "traps"; monitoring of bird impacts during the building's first year; and incorporating Lights Out program concepts.
Minnesota building projects beginning the "schematic design" phase on or after May 1, 2013 are required to use version 2.2 of the guidelines, which includes bird-friendly concepts. Projects beginning the schematic design phase before this date are allowed to continue with their current guideline version. Projects may elect to use a specific version 2.2 guideline in lieu of an earlier version if they choose.
The city of Oakland's Bird Safety Measures have now become part of the building permit process. The measures apply to all construction projects that include glass as part of the building's exterior and where proposed projects meet any one of several criteria, including: project is located immediately adjacent to a substantial water body or recreation area; the project includes substantial vegetated, green roof, or green wall areas as part of the building, or substantial vegetation adjacent to it; or the structure contains an atrium that will incorporate vegetation.
The measures require that a Bird Collision Reduction Plan—reducing potential bird collisions to the maximum feasible extent—be developed by each project builder and then reviewed and approved by the city. That plan is required to incorporate Best Management Practices to reduce bird strike impacts. In addition, the plan must include a series of mandatory measures, such as avoiding using mirrors in landscape design; avoiding placement of bird attractants near glass; and using minimum-intensity white strobe lighting with three-second flash instead of solid red or rotating lights, which serve as bird attractants.
Notably, the measures require bird-friendly glazing treatments to no less than 90 percent of all windows and glass between the ground and 60 feet above the ground. The measures describe eight different examples of glazing treatments.
The measures also call for a reduction in light pollution that can attract night-flying migrants into the built environment. Five different examples are referenced, including lighting reductions during migration seasons, use of automatic light timers, and steps to reduce light emitted by lights inside buildings in addition to glare, unnecessary outdoor lighting, and lighting that reaches where it is not needed.
Finally, Oakland's Bird Safety Measures require the adoption of best management practices to reduce bird collisions. Examples referenced include: performing nightly maintenance during the day to reduce attractant night-time lighting; installation of appropriate blinds, shades, or other window coverings; and encouraging employees to turn of lights and close window coverings at the end of the day.
While San Francisco, Oakland, and Cook County have responded to this issue on a local level, Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley has introduced national legislation into the U.S. House of Representatives that calls for each public building constructed, acquired, or altered by the General Services Administration (GSA) to incorporate, to the maximum extent possible, bird-safe building materials and design features. The legislation would require GSA to take similar actions on existing buildings, where practicable. The terms "bird-safe building materials and design features" are defined through reference to several publications addressing those topics.

Q: Getting RDF parsed per Node.js The Right Way book example In the book Node.js The Right Way there is an example of getting an RDF file parsed. I cannot get this example working as described in the book.
The RDF parser is this:
"use strict";
const fs      = require("fs");
const cheerio = require("cheerio");

module.exports = function(filename, callback) {
    fs.readFile(filename, function(err, data) {
        if (err) {
            return callback(err);
        }
        let $ = cheerio.load(data.toString());
        let collect = function(index, elem) {
            return $(elem).text();
        };
        callback(null, {
            _id: $('pgterms\\:ebook').attr('rdf:about').replace('ebooks/', ''),
            title: $('dcterms\\:title').text(),
            authors: $('pgterms\\:agent pgterms\\:name').map(collect),
            subjects: $('[rdf\\:resource$="/LCSH"] ~ rdf\\:value').map(collect)
        });
    });
};

The input RDF file is this:
<rdf:RDF>
  <pgterms:ebook rdf:about="ebooks/132">
    <dcterms:subject>
      <rdf:Description>
        <dcam:memberOf rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/terms/LCSH"/>
        <rdf:value>Military art and science -- Early works to 1800</rdf:value>
        <rdf:value>War -- Early works to 1800</rdf:value>
      </rdf:Description>
    </dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:title>The Art of War</dcterms:title>
  </pgterms:ebook>
  <pgterms:agent rdf:about="2009/agents/4349">
    <pgterms:name>Sunzi (6th cent. BC)</pgterms:name>
  </pgterms:agent>
  <pgterms:agent rdf:about="2009/agents/5101">
    <pgterms:name>Giles, Lionel</pgterms:name>
  </pgterms:agent>
</rdf:RDF>

And I believe the output of the parser should look like this:
{
  "_id": "132",
  "title": "The Art of War",
  "authors": [
    "Sunzi (6th cent. BC)",
    "Giles, Lionel"
  ],
  "subjects": [
    "Military art and science -- Early works to 1800",
    "War -- Early works to 1800"
  ]
}

The code does run and parse the RDF file, but has a lot of extra "stuff" I'm not familiar with. I cannot tell whether I'm not using the example code right or whether there is a bug in the book's source code.
The command I use to run the parser is this:
node -e 'require("./lib/rdf-parser.js")("test/pg132.rdf", console.log)'

And I get the following output instead of the expected output above:
null { _id: '132',
  title: 'The Art of War',
  authors:
   { '0': 'Sunzi (6th cent. BC)',
     '1': 'Giles, Lionel',
     options:
      { withDomLvl1: true,
        normalizeWhitespace: false,
        xmlMode: false,
        decodeEntities: true },
     _root: { '0': [Object], options: [Object], length: 1, _root: [Circular] },
     length: 2,
     prevObject:
      { '0': [Object],
        '1': [Object],
        options: [Object],
        _root: [Object],
        length: 2,
        prevObject: [Object] } },
  subjects:
   { options:
      { withDomLvl1: true,
        normalizeWhitespace: false,
        xmlMode: false,
        decodeEntities: true },
     _root: { '0': [Object], options: [Object], length: 1, _root: [Circular] },
     length: 0,
     prevObject:
      { options: [Object],
        _root: [Object],
        length: 0,
        prevObject: [Object] } } }

What is the problem?

A: Cheerio has been updated since the book has been released. It is probably easiest is you use an older version of cheerio.
npm install cheerio@0.12.4

A: I just debugged it and i found for the authors that you need to call .get() .map(collect).get()
And for the subject you need to call siblings instead of ~ .siblings('rdf\\:value').map(collect).get()
I hope this helps
Cheers Ian

A: The new code for rdf-parser.js's last two lines should read:
authors: $('pgterms\\:agent pgterms\\:name').map(collect).get(),
subjects : $('[rdf\\:resource$="/LCSH"]').siblings('rdf\\:value').map(collect).toArray()

Also, as per the author at https://forums.pragprog.com/forums/301/topics/12439, the new example JSON file should read (note the change in the subjects section):
{
 "id": "132",
 "title": "",
 "authors": [
   "Sunzi, active 6th century B.C.",
   "Giles, Lionel"
 ],
 "subjects": [
     "Military art and science -- Early works to 1800"
 ]

}

Increases in Internet traffic place never-before-imagined demands on conventional 4G LTE networks and public WiFi networks, which may not be able to keep pace with the growing demand.
Wireless carriers, device and equipment vendors, and researchers around the world are looking toward the next generation of wireless technologies (popularly called '5G') and beyond to support this unparalleled growth in devices and traffic.
Over the past two years, a new Industry Consortium comprising more than 28 leading networking vendors, device manufacturers, and wireless carriers has been established to support the PAWR effort, contributing $50 million in cash and in-kind contributions.
Two years ago, the United States became the first country in the world to make vast quantities of high-frequency millimeter wave spectrum – frequencies that have the ability to send large amounts of data quickly but that don't travel as far as the lower-frequency waves used today in 4G networks – available for both licensed and unlicensed use.
This newly available millimeter wave spectrum, in combination with other spectrum already available, promises to enable faster speeds and increased capacity in future wireless networks.
Research conducted on PAWR platforms will advance robust new wireless devices, communication techniques, networks, systems, and services that will revolutionize the Nation's wireless ecosystem.
PAWR will enable rapid commercialization of promising technologies, provide hands-on practical training to a new generation of graduate students, increase job opportunities, and support overall economic vitality.
The results from this effort will sustain US leadership and economic competitiveness in wireless communications and technology for the next decade and beyond.
