The 2011 war in Libya
The United States responded to the eruption of revolutionary upheavals in Egypt and Tunisia in 2011 by stepping up its intervention in the region through the stoking of civil wars, first in Libya, and then in Syria.
In both cases, CIA intervention and the arming of Islamist forces—including groups associated with Al Qaeda—were accompanied by a campaign among pseudo-left groups aimed at fraudulently presenting these imperialist interventions as a continuation of the "Arab Spring" movements in Tunisia and Egypt.
The Gaddafi regime in Libya had collaborated with the United States since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, including by permitting the US to use the country as a destination for "rendition flights" and torture. Nevertheless, Washington and its European allies saw that protests in the country could be used as a cover for the installation of a government more directly under their control. This would facilitate the seizure of Libya's oil resources at the expense of their rivals, China in particular.
During the weeks leading up to war, the WSWS outlined the basic aims of US and European imperialism in Libya, opposing any US intervention and explaining that the overthrow of Gaddafi was the task of the working class and could not be entrusted to imperialism. In a Perspective published March 1, "Imperialist hands off Libya!", the WSWS wrote:
As in every US operation in the region, the driving forces are twofold: a grab for the resources of one of the major oil-producing countries and the pursuit of the broader strategic interests of American imperialism in the Middle East and North Africa. Imperialist military forces on the ground in Libya would be in a position to influence the future course of events in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, all now in turmoil, as well as across the Sahara in Sudan, Chad, Niger and Nigeria.
Opposition to the US-NATO war did not mean political support for Muammar Gaddafi. The WSWS made clear that only the working class could overthrow Gaddafi and replace him with a democratic and genuinely popular government, in alliance with the masses throughout North Africa.
Once the NATO bombing of Libya had begun—symbolically, eight years to the day of the Bush administration's criminal invasion of Iraq—the WSWS analyzed Obama's justifications, which became the occasion for a vast extension of the grounds for US imperialist intervention all over the world.
The war in Libya was part of a new scramble for Africa. All the imperialist powers of Europe—Germany, France, Spain and Britain—as well as Australia and Canada supported the war as a means of advancing their own interests in the region. This included Italy, Libya's former colonial ruler.
Throughout the six months of military action, including saturation bombing, the creation and arming of a council of imperialist stooges in Benghazi, and the ebb and flow of ground combat until the ultimate collapse of the Gaddafi regime, the WSWS exposed the barbaric atrocities being carried out in the name of democracy, as well as the rapacious motives of the imperialist powers. The Libyan campaign culminated in the murder of Gaddafi and members of his family in October.
Pseudo-left and liberal groups throughout Europe and the United States backed the war, claiming that US-NATO bombing was necessary to protect the Libyan people and promote democracy. These included the Left Party and Greens in Germany, the French New Anti-capitalist Party (NPA), the Italian ex-Stalinist "lefts", the Catalan Greens and Canada's New Democratic Party.
The WSWS denounced the attempts of these groups to portray the imperialist war against Libya as an extension of the mass popular revolts in Tunisia and Egypt. Of the NPA's conference with its sister parties around the Mediterranean, the WSWS wrote:
As workers in North Africa enter into political struggle with dictatorial regimes, the social content of [the NPA's] orientation is ever more clearly exposed. It is bourgeois and counter-revolutionary. It defends the basic class interests of the capitalists and of imperialism against the threat of an independent revolutionary movement of the working class leading all of the oppressed masses.
Particularly significant was a polemic between the WSWS and Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan, a prominent liberal critic of the war in Iraq under the Bush administration who became a cheerleader for war in Libya under the Obama administration. On March 27, Cole published "An Open Letter to the Left," in which the professor declared that the left should "avoid making 'foreign intervention' an absolute taboo."
In "Libya, imperialism and the prostration of the 'left' intellectuals: The case of Professor Juan Cole," the WSWS noted that Cole was representative of a layer of intellectuals that, through the mechanism of the Obama administration, had reconciled itself to imperialist war:
Among the most striking features of the US-NATO onslaught against Libya has been the widespread support that this "war of choice" has evoked among left-liberal parties and the affluent middle-class milieu that comprise an important part of their constituency. Waving the banner of "human rights"—the most hypocritical and deceitful of all justifications for imperialist war—the liberal left embraced this war as their own. One would imagine that this was the first time in history that imperialism had proclaimed the cause of "human rights" and democracy as a cloak for its predatory interests!
Cole attacked the WSWS publicly on his widely read blog Informed Comment, equating opposition to the US-NATO war with support for Gaddafi. In "An open letter to Professor Juan Cole: A reply to a slander" and a subsequent comment on Cole's response to the WSWS critique, Bill Van Auken explained the role of liberal and pseudo-left elements in providing a cover and justification for imperialist war.

Study says research data is lost at alarming rates
June 5, 2014 at 8:02 pm, by Dx
Electronic Laboratory Notebook - ELN / Products
Availability of research data fell by 17% per year after initial publication.
Researchers from the University of British Columbia identified a striking decline in the accessibility of original scientific data over time. The team requested data from authors of more than 500 papers that had been published in the previous 2 to 22 years to determine the percent of data reported as extant at the time of the study. Their disconcerting results lead the team to the pointed conclusion that "research data cannot be reliably preserved by individual researchers" and prompted them to call for changes in the way such valuable data is archived.
"I don't think anybody expects to easily obtain data from a 50-year-old paper, but to find that almost all the datasets are gone at 20 years was a bit of a surprise." – Lead author, Tim Vines
Read the original article or the UBC news brief.
Outdated Storage to Blame
Not surprisingly, a primary reason that data was lost is due to outdated storage devices. As the pace of technological change quickens, it is entirely plausible that data will be lost at even faster rates without a major shift in the ways that data is captured and stored. The authors of this study are calling for increasing storage of data on publicly accessible archives, but such a suggestion ignores the very real need to protect intellectual property, especially in fields where technology development is a priority.
A well designed ELN, however, solves both problems, especially if integrated into the institution's long-term archiving infrastructure. A good quality enterprise ELN solution can store data using industry standard formats like .xml and .pdf that will be supported for decades to come. Additionally the data in a properly implemented ELN is far more likely to be professionally backed-up so that data will not be accidentally lost by lax practices of individuals. If stored on scattered drives and file cabinets in the lab, project data can become fragmented as members transfer from one lab to another.
Intellectual property is ironclad where it's necessary,
yet scientific collaboration is enabled where it's beneficial.
An ELN will assure that a centralized copy remains accessible to authorized members within your institution. Controlled access to that data is entirely manageable and can be as public or as private as the authors and project managers want it to be. Moreover, authorship of each item is securely recorded, along with date and time-stamps. Lab supervisors can easily sign-off on the work of staff members and documents can be digitally locked against any future editing. Intellectual property is ironclad where it's necessary, yet scientific collaboration is enabled where it's beneficial. Some ELNs, can even pass appropriately formatted data bundles off to long-term archiving systems like DSpace, where it can safely reside under the supervision of the institution's dedicated archivists.

The ELN Revolution
October 28, 2013 at 3:28 am, by Dx
Electronic Laboratory Notebook - ELN
The winds of change are blowing in the electronic laboratory notebook world.
The first ELNs were developed in the 1990's in the private business sector, as a response to the conflicting needs of an increasingly digital, paper-free workplace and the legal necessity to securely document patentable innovations in a tamper-proof way. The primary adopters of these early ELNs were the "Big Pharma" companies, looking to protect their corporate intellectual property. Thus, the first wave ELNs were Windows-based software packages that would be installed on an individual PC workstation. They were very complex tools, highly specific to a particular domain, that required lengthy training on the part of users and system administrators. Not surprisingly, these systems were extremely expensive, which placed them well outside the reach of any other potential customers. By the early 2000's, the ELN landscape shifted; academic researchers recognized the value of a quick, computer-based method to capture the day-to-day data generated in their laboratories that also provide a way to engage in scientific collaboration across the globe. Without the resources to afford the existing ELNs used by the pharmaceutical industry, individual academics began using and modifying widely available generic tools, such as Dropbox and Evernote. These were fairly flexible, easy to use, and just about as cheap as can be. Yet, this cheapness came at the cost of security. A more secure method was needed to capture the scientific records that could also reliably track the various versions of a document over the course of its history. To fulfill this need, a second wave of ELNs arose, aimed at deployment within a single laboratory under the supervision of a Primary Investigator, who could determine the amount of sharing permissible within and among groups. Examples of such ELNs include eCat, Lab Archives, and Ruro. They were designed to be more generic and less domain specific, allowing cross-disciplinary collaborations and the potential for completely novel innovations. Taking a tip from the self-adapted internet tools, the second generation ELNs began to be web-based, freeing academics from being bound to specific computer platform. These ELNs made improvements in usability as well. However, they were limited in scale, being suited best to single laboratories.
Enter the 2010's.
An ELN revolution appears to be brewing on the horizon. Beginning in 2011 and 2012, a handful of large universities have begun to seek out affordable data management systems that could be deployed across their entire institution, allowing inter- and intra-group collaboration, version tracking, security, and ease of use. These newer solutions must be platform independent, support data publishing, accommodate data in a variety of formats, and must not only allow archiving but must retain sufficient metadata to allow searchable retrieval. ELNs will most certainly need to be fully mobile to take advantage of tablets and other mobile devices. Above all, these systems must be scalable to thousands of users. Pilot trials of such enterprise ELN solutions, such as RSpace, have taken place from 2012 to 2013. The ELN revolution is certainly beginning, as more institutions recognize that digital data capture is rendering traditional recording methods more and more inefficient. At the present, a few major U.S. institutions are poised to enact the largest deployment yet seen in academia, with others sure to follow soon.

Beats' $200 wireless headphones are incredibly popular — here's what's great, and not so great, about using them
Jun. 25, 2019, 12:46 PM
Beats headphones are incredibly popular, and the Solo3 wireless are no exception.
Beats was kind enough to send me a pair of Solo3 Wireless to see if they live up to the hype.
While these headphones do have some less attractive features, they justify their $200 cost because of how good they sound.
If you walk outside, and particularly if you live in a city, there's a great chance you'll spot someone wearing Beats' Solo 3 Wireless headphones.
The Solo3 Wireless are one of Beats' most popular designs, and for good reason: At $200, they're some of the most accessible and affordable headphones you can buy from Apple-owned Beats.
But despite their reputation, just how good are they?
I thought I would put the Solo3 Wireless to the test, and see if they live up to the hype. Beats was kind enough to send me a pair, and I've been using and testing the Solo3 Wireless for a few weeks now.
Here's what I love, and don't love, about the Solo3 Wireless.
LOVE: These things sound really, really good.
Sound is incredibly crisp and clear on the Solo3 Wireless, especially at higher volumes. The bass is strong, which is no surprise, but it's not overpowering at all.
LOVE: Battery life is great.
These headphones will last you a long time. They charge via MicroUSB, and give you 40 hours of life off a single charge.
The Solo3 Wireless also come with fast-charging, so five minutes connected to power will give you around three hours of life on your headphones. It's a nice touch — if you're rushing out the door in the morning but you forgot to charge your headphones the night before, you can plug them in as you're putting your shoes on to give you just enough juice for your commute.
LOVE: Controls are intuitive.
Unfortunately, the controls are only on one ear cup — but at least they're easy to remember.
On the left ear cup, clicking the Beats logo controls play and pause, double-clicking the logo skips a song, and triple-clicking goes back one song.
There's a plastic ring around the Beats logo — that controls volume. You click above the Beats logo to increase the volume, and under the logo to lower the volume.
LOVE: There are lots of colors and styles to choose from.
Right now, Beats is pushing its "Beats Club" collection, which comes in an array of bold colors. But you can buy the headphones in traditional colors as well — mine came in black-on-black.
LOVE: Instant pairing with iPhones thanks to the W1 chip.
If you have an iPhone, the W1 chip inside the Solo3 will instantly find it when you power the headphones on for the first time. This allows you to pair the two devices with just a single button press on your iPhone. It couldn't be easier.
This instant-pairing feature is also available on a handful of Beats' other offerings, including the Beats X, PowerBeats Pro, PowerBeats3 Wireless, and Studio3 Wireless.
If you have an Android phone, or are pairing the Solo3 with any other device like a laptop, you'll simply find it under your Bluetooth settings.
DON'T LOVE: They're not very comfortable to wear, especially for long periods of time.
Unlike Beats' premium Studio3 Wireless headphones, which have an over-ear design, the Solo3 Wireless' on-ear design feels like they're squeezing the sides of your head.
As the name implies, these headphones sit on your ears instead of around them, which gives this uncomfortable compression feeling on your ears and head. I would get used to it after maybe five to 10 minutes, but after an hour of listening, I was ready to take these things off and let my head breathe.
DON'T LOVE: I'm not a huge fan of the plasticky look of the Solo3 Wireless.
Dave Smith/Business Insider
To be totally honest, the plastic coating on the headphones makes them look cheap — like they're a toy. Some people might like it, but it's not for me.
DON'T LOVE: The carrying case is a nice touch, but also feels cheap.
The Solo3 Wireless headphones collapse so they're easy to carry around in a bag or backpack, but Beats threw in an extra carrying case for storage. I just think the case is totally unnecessary.
Unlike Beats' carrying case for the more premium Studio3 Wireless headphones, which is a hard, durable shell, the carrying case for the Solo3 Wireless headphones is made of a flimsy material that doesn't provide much protection for the headphones, though it might save them from surface scuffs and scratches.
Overall, these headphones are a solid choice for $200 — but you can do better, particularly if you like Beats.
You're getting good value from the Solo3 Wireless because they sound great, pair and charge quickly and easily, and have intuitive controls — even if the make of the design feels a little cheap. But some compromises are to be expected if you're shopping for headphones at the $200 price point.
At the $300 range, headphones start getting vastly more competitive. If you're willing to spend more, I'd personally recommend Beats $350 Studio3 Wireless: They have everything the Solo3 Wireless have, but with a gorgeous premium-looking design, significantly improved comfort on and around the ears, and active noise-cancelling. They're great headphones to have on a plane, or just while lounging at home.
But if you're dead-set on spending no more than $200 on a pair of headphones, the Beats Solo3 wireless headphones are an excellent pick. Comfort could be better, and the plasticky look may not be your cup of tea, but you can't deny the sound quality, which is the most important factor to consider.

Are you ready to take on a relaxing and intense underwater adventure? Then there are certainly a lot of diving spots you must explore around the world. Diving is a one-of-a-kind experience, and it's something anyone should not miss out on. Check out the best diving in the world and you'll definitely have the most fun all year round with these spots:
Almog Beach, Isreal as the Best Diving in the World
Almog at Eliat would be one of Israel's sought after coral reefs in the world. At present, there are over two hundred fish species, which divers can gaze at as they go into the deepest blue waters of this diving site. If you'd like to see cascading mountains and clear blue waters, you must definitely check out Almog. This spot is one of the best diving in the world, and there are also professional instructors who will walk you through the process of diving safely and properly. The Coral Beach is also a stop over every diver should not miss out on. This nature reserve may be one of the reasons why Almog is the best diving in the world. Along with the colorful fishes, the plants and well-preserved corals showcase Israel's beauty in the deep blue sea.
The Tropical Palawan, Philippines
For divers who would like to see the sun's rays even at the deepest levels of the sea, they should visit Palawan. This area is a favorite among divers, as its clear waters also have scenes of the World War II shipwrecks. These may already be the homes of fishes and anemones, but divers can explore its safer spots and see traces of the war, which took place in the Philippines. Some professional divers would say this area is one of the best diving in the world. When divers reach the blue waters' surface, they can also see the lush, green bushes of the mountains, along with the caves' splendor. These are just a few reasons why Palawan is considered as one of the best diving in the world. There are hotels, which surround the diving spots, which make this spot quite relaxing and rejuvenating for divers to see.
The Challenging Sipadan Malaysia
For divers who would like to see a bit more intensity and traffic of fishes underwater, then they must definitely check out the Barracuda Point in Malaysia. Those who would like to see the best diving in the world, with a little more level of difficulty can see schools of fishes swim swiftly past the divers. Barracuda fishes are quite abundant here, and they're the highest cause of wondrous fish traffic in Spiadan. You can also see turtles on the other side of the ocean. It would be the divers' choice whether they would like to peacefully swim along the high concentration of barracudas, or simply observe them a few feet away while still underwater. These factors are what makes Sipadan the best diving in the world.
USS Liberty Wreck in Bali, Indonesia
Aside from its temples and beaches, divers would be mostly fascinated by this area's wreck site during World War II. Divers who find themselves equally fascinated by historical heritage and adventures will certainly find this spot as one of the best diving in the world. Aside from a crashing cargo ship, which was hit by a Japanese torpedo, more action took place in this dive site. A volcanic eruption took place, several years after the crash. The remnants of the wreck have led to schools of fishes and formations of their homes under the sea. This should also be ideal for group diving, so divers would feel like the swim would be more of a full team effort. All these and more can be seen despite few spots can be considered as the best diving in the world.
Huge Fishes at Richelieu Rock, Thailand
Divers can certainly see peaceful whale sharks as they check out one of the best diving in the world. Aside from the crystal blue waters, colorful fishes and interesting mixes of corals, the Richelieu Rock site is also home to whale sharks and sting rays. This place is quiet and harmless for wondrous sea creatures to surface and swim with divers. It would be important for divers of all levels to still thoroughly listen to their diving instructors, so they can fully enjoy one of the best diving in the world. Beginners should not also worry much about the diving difficulty of this site since it's fairly considered a leisurely type of swimming area.
The Belize Barrier Reef for the Most Advanced Divers
This next site is among the best diving in the world, but for a different set of reasons. The Great Blue Hole is located in Belize and up until now, it leaves a lot of mysteries for extreme divers. What used to be dry land ten thousand years ago sunk and became home to stone formations, stalactites, sharks, deep sea crabs, and other sea wonders. It takes professional and advanced divers to entirely explore the Great Blue Hole. What makes the exploration even more fascinating would be how it would take heavy duty speed boats to reach the site. This best diving in the world has dark blue waters, which indicate how deep the barrier would be. Expect to dive as deep as 130 meters while exploring this site.
For those who would want to keep questing for challenging dive sites, this second largest marine reserve is another must-see. Divers can see the Darwin and Wolf site, which has sharks swimming along. Since this is a marine reserve, divers can take advantage of seeing hundreds of fishes, turtles, and other marine animals in just one dive. The Galapagos is one of the best diving in the world because of how it has been naturally preserved, and commercial fishing is not allowed in this site.
If you're going on a diving expedition soon, list up these best diving in the world sites. Have the most exhilarating and refreshing dive. Explore the wonders of the world's seas today.

It's that time of year again: the temperatures are dropping and that means rising heating costs are on New Brunswickers' minds.
The decision to install a heat pump is based primarily on staying warm at an affordable price - although no one would deny these units make a great air conditioning alternative for the hot months.
Alas, a cold winter stands between Fredericton residents and summer 2017.
Here's the good news: Heat pumps have lower annual heating energy costs than both electric baseboards and oil furnaces. They use far less electricity to produce the same amount of heat.
Ductless mini split heat pumps could be the answer to staying warm & toasty this winter in Fredericton. By investing in a heat pump (aka a HVAC unit), you can save hundreds of dollars per year!
Ask Current Solutions Electrical's licensed and insured electrician about the benefits of installing a heat pump with our partner, The Climate Guys.

Big Story 10
July 4, 2019 / 1:25 AM / 16 days ago
Chinese developer Future Land says chairman detained, removed from role
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Future Land Development Holdings Ltd said its chairman has been detained by mainland police and that the firm has removed him from his position with immediate effect, sending its shares into a tailspin.
China's eighth-largest property developer by sales said late on Wednesday the Putuo Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau informed it that Chairman and Executive Director Wang Zhenhua had been detained for "personal reasons".
Future Land's Hong Kong-listed shares fell as much as 18.5% in early Thursday trade, hitting their lowest since Feb. 15.
Property management unit S-Enjoy Service Group Co Ltd was down 16.2%, while subsidiary Seazen Holdings Co Ltd fell the maximum-allowed 10% in Shanghai.
Wang's detention was not related to company operations and business remained normal, Future Land said in Wednesday's filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange. It gave no further details.
Putuo police declined to elaborate when contacted by Reuters.
Wang controls about 70% of Shanghai-based Future Land. His son, 31-year-old non-executive director Wang Xiaosong, has been appointed chairman of the board with immediate effect, the firm said.
Ahead of the announcement on Wednesday, rumors of the incident sent Future Land stock closing down 23.9%, its biggest daily percentage decline since listing in November 2012. That left it with a market value of HK$47.4 billion ($6.09 billion).
S-Enjoy, formerly Xinchengyue Holdings Ltd, in a separate Wednesday statement said Wang Zhenhua, who is also a non-executive director at the firm, had been detained and that operations remained normal.

Mumbai: The annual contracts for Indian cricketers were announced by the BCCI on Thursday. Players like Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were downgraded from the top bracket and youngster Rishabh Pant got rewarded with an entry into the A category.
Only three players in the A+ category, who will receive Rs 7 crore, include captain Virat Kohli, ODI and T20 vice-captain Rohit Sharma and paceman Jasprit Bumrah.
Both Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar are now in the A category along with the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Cheteshwar Pujara, MS Dhoni and others. Players in the A category will receive Rs 5 crore.
The other players in the A category are Mohammad Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Ajinkya Rahane.
Dhawan's contract getting downgraded does not come as a surprise. He is no longer a part of the Test set-up and his performances in the limited overs format has also not been of the highest standard of late.
Wicket-keeper batsman Pant, on the other hand, has been rewarded for his good show in Test cricket and has jumped directly into the A group after being ignored last year. The southpaw has been rewarded for his hundreds in England and Australia and he is ready to take on the mantle from Mahendra Singh Dhoni once he retires from limited overs.
Left arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who has become India's front line spinner in limited overs cricket and also pushing for a permanent place in the Test team, has been promoted to A from the B category. Murali Vijay, who was in the A category until last year, has been dropped altogether after a dismal Test tour of Australia.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya and opener KL Rahul continue to remain in the B category where a player fetches Rs 3 crore. The others in the same category are leggie Yuzvendara Chahal and pacer Umesh Yadav.
The C category, where a player receives Rs 1 crore, comprises Dinesh Karthik, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Hanuma Vihari, Khaleel Ahmed, Kedar Jadhav and wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, who missed the most of the season due to an injury and last played for India in January 2018.

Abstract - Cited by 2290 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
We present Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR), a novel routing protocol for wireless datagram networks that uses the positions of touters and a packer's destination to make packet forwarding decisions. GPSR makes greedy forwarding decisions using only information about a router's immediate neighbors in the network topology. When a packet reaches a region where greedy forwarding is impossible, the algorithm recovers by routing around the perimeter of the region. By keeping state only about the local topology, GPSR scales better in per-router state than shortest-path and ad-hoc routing protocols as the number of network destinations increases. Under mobility's frequent topology changes, GPSR can use local topology information to find correct new routes quickly. We describe the GPSR protocol, and use extensive simulation of mobile wireless networks to compare its performance with that of Dynamic Source Routing. Our simulations demonstrate GPSR's scalability on densely deployed wireless networks.

Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm signal). Because radio signals are likely to overlap with others in a geographical area, a straightforward broad-casting by flooding is usually very costly and will result in serious redundancy, contention, and collision, to which we refer as the broadcast storm problem. In this paper, we iden-tify this problem by showing how serious it is through anal-yses and simulations. We propose several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroad-casts to alleviate this problem. Simulation results are pre-sented, which show different levels of improvement over the basic flooding approach.

Next century challenges: Scalable coordination in sensor networks

Networked sensors-those that coordinate amongst them-selves to achieve a larger sensing task-will revolutionize information gathering and processing both in urban environments and in inhospitable terrain. The sheer numbers of these sensors and the expected dynamics in these environments present unique challenges in the design of unattended autonomous sensor networks. These challenges lead us to hypothesize that sensor network coordination applications may need to be structured differently from traditional net-work applications. In particular, we believe that localized algorithms (in which simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective) may be necessary for sensor net-work coordination. In this paper, we describe localized algorithms, and then discuss directed diffusion, a simple com-unication model for describing localized algorithms.

This paper presents the expected transmission count metric (ETX), which finds high-throughput paths on multi-hop wireless networks. ETX minimizes the expected total number of packet transmissions (including retransmissions) required to successfully deliver a packet to the ultimate destination. The ETX metric incorporates the effects of link loss ratios, asymmetry in the loss ratios between the two directions of each link, and interference among the successive links of a path. In contrast, the minimum hop-count metric chooses arbitrarily among the different paths of the same minimum length, regardless of the often large differences in throughput among those paths, and ignoring the possibility that a longer path might offer higher throughput.

This paper describes two techniques that improve through-put in an ad hoc network in the presence of nodes that agree to forward packets but fail to do so. To mitigate this prob-lem, we propose categorizing nodes based upon their dynam-ically measured behavior. We use a watchdog that identifies misbehaving nodes and a patl~rater that helps routing pro-tocols avoid these nodes. Through simulation we evaluate watchdog and pathrater using packet throughput, percent-age of overhead (routing) transmissions, and the accuracy of misbehaving node detection. When used together in a net-work with moderate mobility, the two techniques increase throughput by 17 % in the presence of 40 % misbehaving nodes, while increasing the percentage ofoverhead transmis-sions from the standard routing protocol's 9 % to 17%. Dur-ing extreme mobility, watchdog and pathrater can increase network throughput by 27%, while increasing the overhead transmissions from the standard routing protocol's 12 % to 24%. 1.

We introduce a geographical adaptive fidelity (GAF) algorithm that reduces energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks. GAF conserves energy by identifying nodes that are equivalent from a routing perspective and then turning off unnecessary nodes, keeping a constant level of routing fidelity. GAF moderates this policy using application- and system-level information; nodes that source or sink data remain on and intermediate nodes monitor and balance energy use. GAF is independent of the underlying ad hoc routing protocol; we simulate GAF over unmodified AODV and DSR. Analysis and simulation studies of GAF show that it can consume 40% to 60% less energy than an unmodified ad hoc routing protocol. Moreover, simulations of GAF suggest that network lifetime increases proportionally to node density; in one example, a four-fold increase in node density leads to network lifetime increase for 3 to 6 times (depending on the mobility pattern). More generally, GAF is an example of adaptive fidelity, a technique proposed for extending the lifetime of self-configuring systems by exploiting redundancy to conserve energy while maintaining application fidelity.

Abstract An ad hoc network is a group of wireless mobile computers (or nodes), in which individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow nodes to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. Prior research in ad hoc networking has generally studied the routing problem in a non-adversarial setting, assuming a trusted environment. In this paper, we present attacks against routing in ad hoc networks, and we present the design and performance evaluation of a new secure on-demand ad hoc network routing protocol, called Ariadne. Ariadne prevents attackers or compromised nodes from tampering with uncompromised routes consisting of uncompromised nodes, and also prevents many types of Denial-of-Service attacks. In addition, Ariadne is efficient, using only highly efficient symmetric cryptographic primitives.


Gary Lightbody is at home with his parents for the weekend and feeling like a kid again.
It's a place of refuge for the Snow Patrol frontman, who has been through the mill in recent years.
He has suffered from depression, vertigo, writer's block and a dependency on alcohol that he does not call alcoholism, but which resulted in his hand shaking if he felt in need of a drink.
But being at home lets the 42-year-old Northern Irish star feel like a teenager.
"There is definitely a part of yourself that reverts to the age you were when you left home," he says, laughing.
But it has been quite a journey for Snow Patrol to get where they are today, with numerous changes in name and line-up, as well as endless disappointments.
First founded at the University of Dundee in 1994 under the name Shrug, the band briefly flirted with the name Polarbear and released an EP before Snow Patrol was born.
Their first two albums, Songs For Polarbears in 1998 and When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up in 2001, failed to make much of a splash.
But in 2003, they released Final Straw on a major label. It blew up and the band became famous.
What came next was even bigger – the smash hit that was Eyes Open in 2006, with its anthem single Chasing Cars.
It topped the charts and was the bestselling British album of the year. Snow Patrol were global stars.
But Lightbody has also become much more reflective as he's got older, more aware of his own weaknesses, but also better at protecting himself.
"I was always a very sensitive kid growing up. I wrote poetry from an early age, I wore my heart on my sleeve a little bit, maybe too much.
"I have suffered from depression my whole life. I actually feel good these days, but I'm a serious introvert and it was years playing gigs before I could look at the audience, before I could look up past my shoes and figure out how to be a frontman.
"There is a dual life where you're trying to present the songs as best you can, because you wrote them, so you may as well give it everything you've got on stage. But then you come back to the hotel and you're eating Quavers at three o'clock in the morning, watching 30 Rock.
"There is a strange parallel to depression, because you can be the happiest you've ever felt, come off stage after playing to 20,000 people and feel 20ft tall, and three hours later I'm sitting in a hotel room, feeling completely devastated, isolated, alone.
The band's latest album Wildness, released earlier this year, explores some of Lightbody's own conflicts.
"These aren't obscure things that no-one else goes through," he says.
"These are things that most people go through at some point in their life, be it just a general sense of not feeling right in the world, which happens to everybody at certain times, all the way up to very deep, dark depression.
That includes other songwriters and Lightbody lists Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell and Prince as other artists who "dealt with the very fabric of our humanness".
He pauses for a moment. "Most songwriters, for the most part, sit on their own and stare at a blank page.
But today, Lightbody feels better than he thought was possible.
"It's a hell of a change and I'm very happy to have got to the other side of it.
"I know there are a lot of people that haven't got there. I know where they are. It's hard. I think the most important thing is reaching out to people that you can talk to.
"The first thing I did when I tried to deal with my mental problems was speak to people that I trusted.
His decision to stop drinking after a health scare two years ago – when he was diagnosed with infections in his ears, eyes and sinuses – also helped him "massively", he says.
"I was drinking for Ireland – and every day. I would do the decent thing and not drink until five o'clock, but by five o'clock, my hand was shaking.
"It was pretty much built-in. I couldn't think about a day without it, think about another way to be, because it seemed to insulate me against what I was feeling.
Does he think he's an alcoholic? "No. I have a strange way of looking at things.
"It's perhaps an Irish way of looking at things, which is if you don't drink, you're not an alcoholic.
"I don't really truck with that whole thing. I totally understand people want to get on that train, if it helps them, that's fine – it doesn't help me. It doesn't help me at all, because I feel like there is no point if you've stopped.
"I'm saying that today I don't drink, and that's enough for me.
The change was profound and Lightbody feels and looks much healthier today.
"After a month, I felt so much better for not drinking, waking up without a hangover.
It helps that Lightbody has no interest in revisiting his youth, or in growing old disgracefully.
"I don't want to be 20 again. I wouldn't want to go backwards. But I wouldn't mind seeing what I could have done with no booze and drugs from the age of 20.
"I would love to see what shape my body and mind would have been in without that.
Still, he wouldn't do anything differently.
"I would be too afraid to not be right here, right now. This is what I always wanted, I just didn't know it.

Japan's Suga urges citizens to have a quiet and distanced New Year

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Tokyo

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga urged the nation on Friday to spend a quiet New Year period without the usual social gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has been breaking infection records almost on a daily basis.
Suga also announced a package of $2.6 billion for hospitals treating COVID-19 patients which have come under strain due to the rapid rise in cases across the northern island of Hokkaido as well as large cities like Tokyo and Osaka.
"I want you to spend a quiet New Year," the premier told a news conference in Tokyo with the government's leading coronavirus expert Shigeru Omi.
"The infections aren't coming down and if we keep going like this, we won't be able to avoid further spread of the virus."
The country confirmed its first five cases of the new, faster-spreading variant of the virus in passengers arriving from the United Kingdom, Health Minister Norihisa Tamura said late on Friday.
Suga called for strong quarantine measures at airports and on those returning from the UK, Tamura said after his meeting with the prime minister.
Japan has banned entry from UK, with the exception of returning Japanese nationals and those with residence permits.
Japan does not celebrate Christmas, but the New Year period is an extended national holiday, with many people usually travelling back to their hometowns and spending time with family and friends.
Omi warned that it was critical that "all citizens move in the same direction," to get a grip on the health crisis.
"If we don't bring infections down now, once they surge again after the New Year period it won't be easy to change the downward trend," he said. "It would take time, and would probably be impossible to control over a period of weeks," he said.
Omi said shared meals were a major cause of infections and called on people to refrain from holding large gatherings and to limit meals to four people one regularly ate with, or fewer.
While Japan has avoided the huge infection numbers seen in other parts of the world, the number of new daily cases surpassed 3,000 for the first time this month. Tokyo reported 884 infections on Friday, near Thursday's record 888.
HOSPITALS, VACCINES
Underscoring the strain on the hospitals, five national groups of doctors and other medical workers made an emergency request to Suga on Friday, asking for strong anti-pandemic measures and support for the medical sector.
With hospitals equipped for treating COVID-19 filling up, other hospitals are being forced to accept patients with the disease, according to Tsuyoshi Masuda, president of the Japan Federation of Democratic Medical Institutions.
"These small and medium-sized hospitals, which have been supporting medical services in their respective regions, are facing a crisis that is threatening their survival," Masuda told reporters at a separate news conference on Friday.
He also warned that the risk of in-hospital infections was high at institutions not specialized in dealing with infectious diseases.
Japan, with a population of 126 million, has struck deals to buy 290 million vaccine doses from Pfizer Inc, AstraZeneca Plc and Moderna Inc, or enough for 145 million people.
A health ministry panel said that people aged 65 or older should get priority for vaccination against COVID-19, as well as frontline healthcare workers and people with underlying medical conditions.
It specified chronic heart disease, chronic respiratory disease and chronic kidney disease, among others, as underlying conditions that should determine priority.
The panel's recommendations would mean 36 million elderly people and 8.2 million people with medical conditions would be the first to receive shots.

For my next trick, I'll need an assistant: the USB-UIRT. This is that gadget that's going to receive infrared signals from the remote. I'll also need the Girder software to learn the codes my remote is sending and actually do something with them. For now, I'm just going to be satisfied with proving that my PC is hearing what the remote is saying. Making the software do anything about it is a matter for another day.
I'll only be needing a handful of buttons here. They're all standard play controls and appear on just about any remote.
Dude. That couldn't have gone much easier. Plug in the UIRT and the Plug and Play dialog finds it. You download the drivers from the USBUIRT site and tell the PnP wizard where to find them. Done.
This was also a cakewalk. Come to think of it, it was much easier than a cakewalk. I've participated in several of those and never walked away with a thing. Here there is no cake, but at least I have something to show for my effort.
Go to File -> Settings, select "Plug-in settings," and check the box next to "USB-UIRT." Restart Girder and you're off & running.
Go to Tools -> Add Remote Wizard. Click Next, name the remote, then start programming. It asks you to press any button to make sure it detects a remote at all, then it asks you to press each button that you want to use on the remote. After you finish this, Girder will be able to get signals from your remote.
All of this only took me an hour, and most of that was poking around trying to figure out what else Girder could be used for. I went ahead and picked buttons to use for song rating too. If everything goes smooth, I'll not only be able to skip sucky tracks, but ban them for good measure. Next, I'm going to make Girder listen for the signals from my remote.
Budget update: $143.44, 8 hours.


Leena Gade, one of the most noteworthy race engineers of the present era, has been visiting with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing co-owner Bobby Rahal, according to various reports. The sportscar-turned-IndyCar professional joined the American open-wheel league in January of 2018 as James Hinchcliffe's lead engineer at SPM Honda, but after just five races and an unfortunate bump at the Indy 500, she left her post and has since become available to talks with other competitors. Now, it seems as if Team RLL could swoop in and strike a deal with Gade to join either its IndyCar program or its BMW-backed IMSA efforts.
Gade's past sportscar success, which bred three 24 Hours of Le Mans wins, influenced several IndyCar outfits to take a strong look into hiring her at the season's beginning. The British-born race engineer was faced with a steep learning curve when it came to the sport's omnipresent oval tracks, and as a result of initial struggles, she and SPM agreed to split ways at the end of May in an instance which the team described as "non-conducive for either party."
© 2018 RIP SHAUB. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
As it seems, this has piqued the interest of Rahal & Co. as a recent Motorsport report details that Gade and the team have been in talks as of late.
"We haven't done anything yet, but we are continuing to communicate," Rahal explained. "I think Eddie Jones (Takuma Sato's race engineer) was in the room with us, too, and Leena is an impressive person."
Rahal drew the comparison of Gade's experience in European competition to her recent American ventures, saying that the adjustment is inherently difficult.
"I think clearly the European model for engineering is very different from the U.S. They have performance engineers in WEC [World Endurance Championship] who report to chief engineers, whereas here there is less resource and fewer people so the engineers are in the trenches a lot more. And I think with Leena not having any oval experience, it must have made it tough. But obviously, Schmidt Peterson's performances have been good on the road and street circuits. So there's value there, for sure."
"So, no decision yet, but yes, we've had contact with Leena," Rahal concluded.
If Gade were to join Team RLL, she would have several potential options depending on the agreement. While the Midwest-based team does field two IndyCar entries, Graham Rahal and Takuma Sato driving Nos. 15 and 30 respectively, it also runs a pair of BMW M8 GTE racecars in the IMSA WeatherTech series. The latter crew is working with an all-new platform for the 2018 season, and as someone who has experience with high-tech sportscars, Gade could fill a seat to direct the still-learning squad if team officials decide as such in the event of a deal between the two parties.
When contacted by The Drive for comment, a Team RLL spokesperson replied, "there is nothing more to say at this time."
Bock began his motorsports medicine career in 1966 and served in IndyCar's medical team until 2006.
