Q: 64-bit ALU outputs are showing high impedance on TestBench waves I have to make a 64 Bit ALU that takes in A and B 64-bit inputs, a carry_in input and outputs a 64bit result along with a 1-bit carry_out. There is also a 5 bit function-select FS. Where FS[0] controls whether B is inverted or not (using a 2to1 mux.) F[1] does the same for the A. And FS[4:2] determines which operation (Adding, subtracting, logical operations, etc) using an 8to1 Mux. Below is the code for the ALU and Testbench.
I'm pretty sure my testbench is good and so is all the separate components for the ALU. I'm not too confident about my top-level where I instantiate and connect all the inputs/outputs. What is causing the high impedance in the waveform?

input [63:0] A, B;

A: Unexpected high impedance (z) values are typically the result of undriven signals, and that is the problem with your code.
adder u6 (firstoutA, secoutB, cin, sum, cout);

In the line above, you connect the 1-bit signal firstoutA to the 64-bit addA input port.  This connects firstoutA to addA[0], leaving the other 63 bits undriven.  Thus, addA[63:1] are all z.
firstoutA is a 1-bit signal because you did not explicitly declare it.  Also, undeclared signals are assumed to be of type wire, which default to z.
It is good practice to declare all signals.
To find all undeclared signals, add this to the top of your code:
`default_nettype none

You should get compile errors like:
Error-[IND] Identifier not declared
  Identifier 'firstoutA' has not been declared yet. If this error is not
  expected, please check if you have set `default_nettype to none.

Error-[IND] Identifier not declared
  Identifier 'secoutB' has not been declared yet. If this error is not
  expected, please check if you have set `default_nettype to none.

A: First you need to define signals (wire) for connections between modules. For example, you have left and right as outputs of Alu_shifter module and they are connected to firstmux and secmux modules; however, they are not defined in your top module. You should add following signal definitions to your topmodule:
wire [63:0] left,right;
wire [63:0] firstoutA;
wire [63:0] secoutB;
wire [63:0] sum;

Also, eight_one_mux module takes eight 64-bit inputs. However, you set the last two of them as 1'b0. You should change them to 64'b0 as below.
eight_one_mux u7 (firstoutA & secoutB, firstoutA | secoutB, sum, firstoutA ^ secoutB,
left, right, 64'b0, 64'b0, FS[4:2], result);

Finally, !A does not invert all bits of A (same for B). It applies a reduction operation and generates a 1-bit signal (and firstmux module expects a 64-bit signal in its second input port).

Mortals – Cursed To See The Future (Relapse Records)
Wednesday, 2nd July 2014 By David E. Gehlke
It shouldn't matter, but it does; it does because metal's a dude-dominated field – Mortals are the semi-official blackened sludge pile(r) on(er) of the female sort. Not that we need another band like this (we don't, definitely), but hey, getting a different angle on the matter can sometimes be refreshing. Naturally, if one listened to the band without reading their bio and taking a gander at their promotional pictures, one would assume Cursed to See the Future is an all-dude affair. Alas, it's not, and even if it was, then it would still be an above-average offering that is very 2014.
High-five to whomever recorded and engineered the album – the guitar tone of Elizabeth Cline is that of sonically devastating proportions. It really enables her occasional deft chord guitar to shine when she's not getting bogged down in generic sludge-ville. So when there's the prominent black metal elements showing their face (see: "Epochryphal Gloom" and "Devilspell"), it really starts to click with Mortals in a sort of USBM, but less ugly fashion, all thanks to Cline's flexibility with plain 'ole heavy riffing, and the winding, savage chord usage often found within black metal.
Beware that the six jams here can be a little long, some of which going for the throat right away ("Series of Decay," which happens to be the album's best jam), while others not quite there in terms of full-on catchiness. Also, one would be advised to not listen to Cursed to See the Future in consecutive listens, something DR did, only because he's a glutton for punishment. The album is so sonically loaded and bombastic, that a certain feeling of being worn down and worn out will take effect. But don't let these be a deterrent, as Mortals should get some attention for how thoroughly heavy they are, which as simpleton as it sounds, is the truth.

This tale is a perfect summer read for families. Driven by fate, or perhaps by the greedy landlord that sold their usual summer house, the Penderwick family ends up staying in a cottage behind the Arundel estate. The four sisters (Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty) are brimming with life. This book relives their adventures with their newfound friend, Jeffrey Tifton. Jeffrey just happens to be the son of Arundal's owner, Mrs. Tifton, who thinks that the Penderwicks are not at all suitable playmates for her son. With spirit and good intentions, the Penderwicks cause quite a stir in this small town and manage to turn life at Arundal upside down for three weeks one summer!
Two boys, James and Eamon, spend a week with Eamon's grandparents and have the best week ever! They go to nature camp (which should be named Camp Sweat-Alot), eat lots of banana waffles (yum!), and play video games (quiet meditation). James and Eamon have so much fun together they practically become one person; in fact, Grandpa Bill starts calling them "Jamon." Kids will enjoy this hilarious picture book that shares the fun week of two crazy boys!
Sisters Kylie and Cameron (ages eight and nine, respectively) chat with Emily about the Penderwick sisters and those two crazy boys who could be brothers (but aren't). Kylie recounts how much she enjoyed the hilarious escapades of James and Eamon and the author's clever juxtaposition of words and pictures in A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever. Cameron gives many insights into the thoughts and feelings of the Penderwick sisters. In Cameron's words, The Penderwicks is "a perfect book!"
Marla Frazee, the talented author/illustrator of A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever and many other hilarious children's books, takes time to chat with Emily over the phone. She discusses the origin of A Couple of Boys and her secret to making the characters seem so real.

Nonprofit Governing Board Mission and Vision Statement
Nonprofit Governing Board Position Statement
A Nonprofit Governing Board oversees the activities of a nonprofit entity, and ensures that the organization engages in activities that help further its purpose. The Board must issue statements describing the organization's mission, vision, and values, and at times, its position on its policies and procedures or issues of relevance to its mission. These statements are called governing board statements. To write a nonprofit governing board statement, follow the steps below.
A mission and vision statement is as important to a nonprofit organization as it is to a for profit business. It is what will guide the organization in all of its activities and decisions. Writing the mission and vision statement, or rewriting an old one, is the job of the governing board of a nonprofit organization, and can be a daunting task. However, it does not have to be one that is overly complicated. Following the simple directions below will help you write a governing board mission and vision statement.

\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Describe the organization's purpose. The purpose of the organization should be described in one or two sentences, absent of any jargon or language the average reader would not understand. The purpose of the organization is usually the reason it was established. For example, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America was established to provide children with positive role models and the local animal shelter was established to provide for homeless animals.
Describe the population the organization will serve. For example, a local animal shelter located in Madison County may serve homeless animals in Madison County, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America serves disadvantaged children throughout the United States. Follow these guidelines when writing the description of the population:
Be brief but thorough. While the description should be less than a few words, it should be long enough to fully describe the population. For example, describing the population served by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America as 'children' may not be a complete enough description, 'disadvantaged children throughout the United States' however, tells us which children specifically the organization serves.
Consider including it in the same sentence as your organization's purpose. For example, "Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America was established to provide disadvantaged children throughout the United States with positive role models."
Describe the activities in which the organization will participate. For example, if your organization helps poor people, tell the reader how it does this. An organization may help poor people by providing them with free or inexpensive medical care, awarding college scholarships to them, or providing job training. When describing the activities:
Keep it simple. You do not need to list every specific task that will be completed by the organization's employees and volunteers, just the general actions it will take. For example, instead of describing how an animal shelter's employees feed, water, walk, bathe, play with, and pet the animals in the shelter, you may wish to simply state that the shelter 'provides love and care' for the animals.
Make it brief. Your description should be between a few words and two sentences in length. If your organization participates in many activities, you may need to combine them into categories that are more general. For example, if your organization helps poor people by providing them with free or inexpensive medical care, college scholarships, job training, housing, new or used clothing, school supplies, inexpensive or free groceries, household supplies, and other items, you may just want to say, "Provides various services and free or inexpensive items to the poor."
Combine short or single activity lists with the purpose and population descriptions. For example, "Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America was established to provide disadvantaged children throughout the United States with positive role models through a one-on-one brother/sister relationship with an adult."
Outline the organization's values. Describe the values that led the founder of the organization to form it and the values partners, board, employees, and volunteers will exhibit while working towards the organization's goals. Common values mentioned in non-profit mission statements include integrity, peace, understanding, and respect for nature and the environment. Your organization's values should be outlined in no more than one or two sentences.
Describe what the organization wishes to accomplish. This is the organization's 'vision' of what success looks like. For example, an animal shelter serving the Madison County area may have a vision of a Madison County, which is free of homeless pets, and where all cats and dogs in the County live in warm loving homes. Describe your vision in no more than one or two sentences.
At times, the Governing Board of a non-profit organization may need to release a position statement, detailing the organization's position on an issue of relevance to its mission or on a specific policy of the organization. To write a nonprofit governing board position statement, follow the steps below.
State the issue upon which the Governing Board ("the Board") will offer an opinion. When constructing your issue statement, keep these things in mind:
You should describe the issue completely and thoroughly, but in no more than a few sentences. Issue statements that are too long can confuse the reader and the issue.
Each position statement issued by the Board should cover only one issue. If you have more than one issue upon which to release a statement, prepare separate statements for each one.
When the statement is concerning one of the organization's own policies or procedures, you should specify what the policy is, where the full text of the policy may be found, and why the Board is issuing an opinion on it.
State the organization's position. This should be done in one sentence. For example, "ABC Organization believes that destroying the woodlands south of town will displace a number of wildlife species and disrupt the balance of nature to the detriment of the town's environment." For situations in which the Board has been asked to support another's position on an issue, the position statement can be a single sentence that says whether it supports the position or not. For example, "ABC Organization supports the position offered by XYZ Corporation regarding the destruction of the woodlands south of town."
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8e\/Write-a-Nonprofit-Governing-Board-Statement-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Write-a-Nonprofit-Governing-Board-Statement-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8e\/Write-a-Nonprofit-Governing-Board-Statement-Step-8.jpg\/v4-760px-Write-a-Nonprofit-Governing-Board-Statement-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570,"licensing":"

License: Creative Commons<\/a>
\n<\/p>

\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Describe the values considered in forming the opinion. You may choose to list the values in one or two sentences, or combine them with the position statement. An example of the value of respect for nature and the environment, combined with a position statement is, "Consistent with ABC Corporation's respect for nature and the environment, it believes that destroying the woodlands south of town will displace a number of wildlife species and disrupt the balance of nature to the detriment of the environment".
Offer support for the Board's position. Provide facts, statistics, and references for the position that the organization has taken. If there are facts and statistics that appear to support the opposite position, provide those as well, along with the organization's reason(s) for discounting them or interpreting them in a different way.
Do not overwrite. A nonprofit governing board statement should be no longer than one page.
Use clear and concise language and avoid industry jargon.

The Irony of the "No-Result" Result in Herbal Medicine
As herbal medicine progresses back to its former position of popularity, there is an increasing inclination on the part of the media to do "herbal exposés" that tend to be deceptive, sensationalist, and sometimes irrational.
Fortunately, as you venture deeper into your study of the subject, you will be able to distinguish these hype pieces from informative journalism.
One that rears its ugly head every now and then is the myth that: "If a herb has the power to heal, then it can harm." Technically, this is probably true as almost every natural healing system has an adage akin to "The dose makes the poison."
But as herbalist Robyn Landis (1997) explains, it's important to recognize that this is true of all drugs and all foods as well as herbs. It is not especially true of herbs. To the contrary, herbs are much more difficult to misuse than drugs because of the synergy of all the ingredients they contain.
Landis also explains that:
"Doctors and scientists often assume that any active substance must have side effects, because their experience is with drugs, and drugs by their very nature will have side effects. Indeed, any rational decision regarding whether to use a drug begins with the acknowledgement that there will be side effects, and weighs that unavoidable cost against the potential benefits of the drug. But the activity of a whole plant, with all its compounds intact, simply is not comparable to the action of a single concentrated compound."
As herbalist Michael Moore puts it:
"A physician's biochemical tools are drugs. By extension, docs may rightly presume that any agent capable of promoting change probably has similar potential for side effects…"
Ironically, the expectation of side effects for drugs is such a given that side effects can come to be seen as a necessary sign of value, a warped sort of status symbol says Landis. Thus a corollary myth is: "If a herb doesn't have the power to harm, then it can't heal."
Observes herbalist Moore: "Carried to an irrational extreme, some medical folks feel that anything without potential side effects is quackery. This, of course, leaves any alternative approach in a Catch-22 bind."
A good case in point can be found in the realm of preventative medicine. It is a phenomenon herbalist Robyn Landis coined the "no-result" result:
"One of the ironies of taking good care of yourself in [herbal medicine] is what I call the "no-result" result. We are not accustomed to measuring our success by what doesn't happen. We want to see something take place, even if it means being very ill and getting heroically "cured". A shift in thinking is in order here: No news is good news. There are countless all-too-common health catastrophes whose absence in your life will confirm your success."
Take a few minutes to think about the above. Does a "no-result" result make sense to you? Write down your thoughts and feelings or leave a comment below.
Article by 88 Comments
Maxime Keever says
No results, means results …since going vegeterian with limited dairy, upping my ginger and peppermint for my stomach i have not been sick with my twice yearly bronchitis, asthma, constant colds and flu.
Touch wood no Covid on my household.
I still have issues with eczema on my hands. Still trying to find a solution other than cortisone, i do believe citrus/tropical fruit is part of the cause but I cannot help myself and definetly cleaning products.
Erin Brinkman says
I guess it's a difference of prevention versus suppression. I think people only take an Advil if they're already in pain to block the feeling. I'm sure there are herbs for pain suppression too, but they also prevent.
Adriana Jensen says
I totally see the "No news is good news" irony but at the same time if it were me as the client with the healthy body I would be stuck in the paradox of finding it odd that I DIDN'T have anything wrong with me in my old age and that in itself is a miracle to me!
patricia. [email protected] says
No results results means even if nothing happens something happened. Taking herbs is like planting a seed that will grow later. The benefits will be there. You don't need to see something to be well.
debbieadedeji says
1. 'No Result'Result makes sense to me in that even when side effect is achieved after the use of herbs or drugs, it is a testimony that the herb has potent and has powerful properties that caused that but we are not interested in mere side effect but people being heroically cured. This is so because we do not measure success by what was does not happen but the success achieved and the huge transformation and healing accomplished. ButI know that all herbs will give desired result if appropriately used and if used in the right proportions.
Tammy Ancheta says
To me the no result result is basically not having the side effects that you normally get with conventional drugs. Every type of medicine, natural or compound has side effects. It's just the natural medicine's side effects is your body getting better.
Mari Van Wyngaard says
Yes it does. I would rather use something that would make me feel better without side effects. Why do people want to torture themselves, when there is something that will make you feel better without the consequences of side effects.
Maureen Duvenhage says
Everything has side-effects, so if you don't need the meds don't drink the meds……only when needed. Use meds responsible…..
tracey howard says
yes it dose
i have had bad time with some meds the doc gave to me for pain and when i started using a natural one the side of effect went away
Renata Reck says
What seems "no result" is just a balanced out come and the desired outcome
Johan Nel says
Sometimes no immediate result may actually be a good thing as well. It may give the body the time necessary to kick start the "self heal" process. By reacting to quick, it may have non desired effects thats not always good.
Barbara Britz says
Quite simply when someone is ill on occasion there is much experimentation by the doctor to find a recipe that 'works'. Prescriptions are changed, upped, downed to acquire a 'result'. Is it all that different from herbalism? prevention is definitely better than cure
Linda Adams says
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure! It's so interesting that as the population has moved more and more to pre-processed foods, humans as a whole have gotten sicker. Many people don't even know what they are eating.
Alison Gonzalez says
no result results is what we all need to strive for because that means our insides are healed and balanced we just need to keep them that way
Olivia Moore says
Results really depend on what it is you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to cure a fever than a reduction of that fever would mean a success.
However, if you are trying to prevent the flu and you do not get a flu that season, that would also be considered a success even though nothing changed in your body (that is what you wanted to happen).
Ilyn Steyn says
No result is just an indicator that the problem has not been solved.
You need to dig deeper.
Lynne Stone says
A person living healthy life can have "no result" compared to someone e.g. recovering from some medical trauma.
Gerda Van Breda says
I believe that even if there are no results, your body is becoming healthier and starting to heal itself.
risingsoulswithmanisha says
We have forgotten the connection with our own body, and coz of that we don't focus on healing the body. We have been under influence of allopathy and we want immediate results… this we need to understand… the body has the capacity to heal, we need to provide that support and environment.
we don't need to wait for the illness, we can give our body what it needs so stay without illness.
such beautiful learning … gratitude to all who are making this beautiful knowledge become our knowing.
Vanessa Meintjes says
So deeply embedded in today's society, the view that allopathic medicine is 'scientific and effective' and age-old medicine is 'backwards'. This mechanistic world view has led to more ills than ever before, that's how Big-pharma got so BIG
Mari Stebbing says
Yes, it does. By keeping the balance I know when my body needs something more than other things. Even if I have to change to something else.
Michiel Welgemoedt says
It is so true that we have positioned ourself in such a way of thinking that if there are no side effects, then there's no work.
Brandon Watson says
Couldn't agree more. Bringing it back to the mechanic vs gardener analogy, if we only take our car into the mechanics shop when its not working and do not take the necessary maintenances and services set to keep it running we will have a big problem on our hands a few years down the road. Like the constant gardener who tends to weeding and watering on a daily basis, we too need to be preventative in potential ailments that can rear their ugly heads!
Nhlanhla Mthize says
Makes very perfect sense, my wife believes that if it's a herb it's medicine and one should only drink or eat medicine to treat an illness. Why eat herbs if one is perfectly healthy?
kristi Flores says
My family always says if its not broken don't fix it. If we can prevent the need for mechanics by regular maintenance then no result is what we are looking for.
Maddy Helwig says
Yes that makes a lot of sense to me. It's really funny how so many people want to get sick and then feel themselves get cured when it is so much more logical and practical to prevent the sickness from happening in the first place (at least as much as possible).
lizposthumus says
Sure, it makes sense. A healthy life style is key to having (bad) "no-results". It also falls in to what I said in the previous section; prevention is better than cure.
Cara Reynolds says
Yes, I think this does make sense as prevention of illness makes the most sense when it comes to health.
Lori Kostek says
I literally just explained this to my family last week!!
stephan tait says
herb will never die
Joy Hoskin says
No result is the beauty of herbalism. It is based on being without illness. It is the basis of health and well being.
Tebogo Pooe says
yes cause it means perfect health
Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. The absence of illness is proof to me that what I'm taking in is helping to keep me healthy. If you are living a healthy life it is the key to good health. Prevention is better than cure.
Cornelius Foord says
If i use turmeric, ginger and cinnamon and dont get sick then it will be the no result result. because i did not get sick during the winter
Ida Horn says
Yes, a lot of sense, no news is good news
Amy Barnett says
Yes, this absolutely makes sense to me. As conventional medicine begins at and targets illness and limits itself to the place of that illness, and the only cure is symptom management, we have been conditioned to believe that health only happens as a result of treating illness. Weve been encouraged to forget that our "normal" is supposed to be perfect health and illness occurs in disrupted or ineffective proccesses of bodily systems.
Duduzile Mashinini says
"no-result" result makes sense to me because there is no way of physically measuring health where one was not ill, from the beginning. No news is good news.
Peter Van Coller says
Yes it does when you have no result with a herb you keep trying till you get the result even if you need, to use a different herb.
Elaine Langdon says
"No result" simply means that good health is maintained. If a plant is growing healthy in the garden, it is not because the gardener has been neglectful. Quite the opposite. If our good health is maintained, it's because we have been good gardeners of ourselves.
Juanitha Gouws says
It does. I for example do not have a medical aid. Not because I think that I wont need one. The reason for this is as follow. We do not really fall ill. And for us to be paying a medical aid never going to see a doctor, is a waste of money at this stage. I would rather invest in my herb garden.
Louise Kock says
yes it does – If you can stay healthy and your body in balance it is much better that being sick and falling apart and different medical doctors trying to diagnose your symptoms and not healing t he the problem – you only get worse-
If not getting sick by taking herbs or having going wrong in my body them I am good with it
Julie McCaslin says
Yes. If I am not getting sick then that speaks volume.
Tammy Warner says
Yes, it makes perfect sense. I want to be there where I get healthy through food and herbs, that if I do get a cold or something taking some herb medicine will help me to feel better without side effects.
Dawn Stevens says
very interesting, new thought for me. always wanting to prove why natural is better. i suppose our family getting common colds etc and then recovering without antibiotics and quicker than others who caught the same thing etc is a testimony in itself.
I like it… no news is good news 🙂
Michelle Jasen says
yes it makes perfect sense, you can't fix what is not broken and preventing the body from breaking is better than trying to fix it when it is broken
Marinda de Klerk says
"No results" make sense to me, every year with my medical my vitamins and iron level tests come back normal although I don't take anything for it except starting my day with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice as well as juicing twice a week.
Joanne Madgwick says
Yup no illness means its working but many won't believe that as they say nothing happened – but that's the point.
Lora Lepley says
I agree with no result result because that means you are doing something right to which keeps you healthy, or as I like to call it "Medically Boring"!
Abby Milligan says
No results results makes perfect sense to me the whole absence of illness is proof enough that what you're taking in is helping with keeping you healthy. It's like eating fresh chili every day, I haven't had a good dose of flu that would keep me home for the past 5 years simply because of the few things i add to my meals everyday.
Anthony Smida says
Prevention is better than a cure. Living a healthy life is the key to health.

About the detective Frederick R. Cherrill and the Lee case, account of the crime, biography of the detective.
On June 1, 1948, the milkman delivered a bottle of milk to the front stoop of Mrs. Freeman Lee's rundown mansion, only to discover that the bottles he had delivered the previous two days were still there, warm and untouched. Mrs. Lee, a 94-year-old widow, lived alone on the weed-infested estate in Maidenhead, England. An inheritance from her late barrister husband had dwindled long ago, and for some years she had been supported by a legal benevolent society. When the milkman suggested to Mrs. Lee's neighbor that something was amiss, the neighbor scoffed but agreed to investigate. After peering through the letter drop, he ran to call the police.
Mrs. Lee always kept her key ring fastened securely to her person, but the neighbor had spied the keys and a shoe on the floor next to a large, strapped trunk. When Constable Langton and Mrs. Lee's solicitor, Kenneth Thomas, arrived, Langton pried open a window and the two men searched the residence.
The old house reeked of camphor and dust, and thick spiderwebs laced most of the rooms. The single room that Mrs. Lee inhabited was crammed haphazardly with tallboys and vanities, easy chairs and cushions, all littered with personal toilet articles and condiment jars. Her bed was strewn with sheets and quilts. Next to the fireplace, on a dinner tray, had hardened the remains of the old woman's last meal.
Constable Langton and Mr. Thomas searched the entire residence and lawn for Mrs. Lee. There was not a trace of the old woman. Langton was telephoning headquarters when Thomas slowly unbuckled the straps on an old trunk. The lid creaked back on its hinges. Thomas's face knotted. Folded into the trunk was the body of Mrs. Freeman Lee.
Mrs. Lee had been tied with a woolen shawl, gagged with a handkerchief, beaten over the head with her shoe, and crammed into the trunk. But the coroner's report indicated she was then still alive. Old Mrs. Lee had suffocated in the trunk.
A portly and conservative man rarely seen without his black derby, Frederick Cherrill was the head of the Fingerprint Dept. of Scotland Yard from 1938 to 1953. In his 39 years with the Yard, he solved more murders than any other detective of his era. He could glance at an inked pattern of ridges and whorls and tell from memory the owner of the prints.
As a young man, Cherrill studied painting and wood carving in art school. But while convalescing from an operation, he met a policeman who fired his earlier ambition to become a detective.
In 1914, at 22, Cherrill was appointed to the London Metropolitan Police Force. Between walking beats, he studied fingerprinting. Cherrill was intrigued by the fact that a man could be positively identified by the markings of a single fingerprint. The chance of one fingerprint being identical with another was estimated at one in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
It was six years before Cherrill was assigned to the Fingerprint Bureau of Scotland Yard. Ten year later, he developed what is known as the Single Fingerprint System, now in use all over the world.

Red Assault
Soviet Airborne Forces, 1930-1941
Vladimir Kotelnikov
Red Assault investigates the Red Army Command in the 1930s using the memoirs of pioneer military paratroopers and documents discovered in archives and museum collections.
400 b/w photos & illustrations
Dimensions : 9.75 X 7 inches
In the 1930s Red Army Command maintained what was often an offensive doctrine. The plan was to fight a bloodless victory on foreign ground. An offensive by the Worker's and Peasant's Red Army was to unfold as per the classic Blitzkrieg - it was with good reason that some of the higher ranking commanders had studied at the German General Headquarters Academy. Furthermore all the technical achievements of the period were taken into account. The assault would begin with air strikes from strategic aviation: armadas of huge bombers would attack key targets deep inside enemy territory. At the same time enormous numbers of airborne troops would be dropped behind enemy lines, armed with a range of equipment. These airborne troops would capture bridges, and roads, and take communications, and transport links out of action. Heralded by a powerful artillery attack, supported by tactical aviation the tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks carrying motorized infantry would advance.
There was a basis for such optimistic forecasts. Since the Soviets were in possession of such a quantitative, and qualitative advantage (and this was certainly the case) they were definitely able to advance. In the USSR aviation was undergoing development ahead of schedule, as were armored tank technology, airborne assault troops, and chemical weapons. If the Soviets had tanks, aircraft, and chemical weapons, albeit in small quantities, any potential enemies would possess them too. The airborne assault troops however were a distinctly Soviet innovation. In this respect it was the Soviets that held an unquestionable advantage. It was here that the first groups of airborne paratroopers were dropped, and the first tanks and guns were dropped from the skies. The Red Army was conducting mass airborne assault operations during the course of exercises when no other nation on Earth had airborne assault troops.
In other field's Soviet military science and technology in many cases copied existing Western achievements. Licenses were obtained, or examples of foreign materiel were simply copied. As far as the airborne troops were concerned the Soviet military, and the designers were in unchartered territory, having come up with a number of innovative solutions, which were later adopted by the armed forces of other nations.
In this book the armament, equipment, and military hardware developed for airborne troops is described, both in terms of the actual technology, and the clearly fantastical, which only reflected the unrestrained imagination of the designers. A significant amount of attention is devoted to the aircraft, from which it was planned airborne troops would be dropped. The exercises that saw airborne troop drops are described, as well as the role airborne troops played in actual operations in the period up to 1941.
This book has been written on the basis of a number of documents that the author has discovered in the archives, and in museum collections. This work draws upon the memoirs of the pioneer military paratroopers in the USSR, some of which have never been published before.
Vladimir Kotelnikov was born in Moscow on 9 December 1951. He graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute (University) in 1975 and was engaged in research and development in the area of high-temperature strength. Vladimir defended the academic degree of the Candidate of Science in 1981 and read lectures on aircraft piston engine design at the Moscow Aviation Institute.
Since the 1980s Kotelnikov has conducted archive research on the history of Russian aviation of the inter-war and WWII period. In addition, he has paid specific attention to the history of foreign aircraft testing and operations in Russia. As the result of his work he published several hundred articles and dozens of books in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, UK, France, Germany, Spain, and US, among them - Lend-Lease and Soviet Aviation, Americans in Russia, Russian Piston Aero Engines, Early Russian Jet Engines, Air War Over Khalkhin Gol, Le Petlyakov Pe-2 and others. Being an aviation historian, he received a diploma as a professor of the Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics Science and currently acts as a consultant on piston aero engine design to Russian aviation museums as well as to different aircraft restoration groups.
Since 2003 Vladimir has held the post of an editor of the Aviakollektsiya aviation history magazine, published in Moscow.

Armstrong trial outcome could hinge on jury instructions
The basic facts are not in dispute as state Rep. Joe Armstrong's trial begins Tuesday in U.S. District Court at Knoxville, reports Jamie Satterfield, and the outcome could hinge on what the judge decides to do with preliminary motions involving jury instructions.
Armstrong has never denied in any court record that he voted for a cigarette tax stamp hike and set out to prosper from it by getting a wholesaler to buy him some at the current price and then sell them when the increase takes effect. It is not illegal. He's not charged with any crime for making a profit off his vote.
The real fight is over whether he agreed with his accountant to hide that profit from the IRS and then signed a tax return knowing it was a lie. It is those crimes — conspiracy to defraud the federal government and tax evasion — of which Armstrong is accused, nothing more.
…The key, then, is whether Armstrong was a "willing" partner. If (Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles) Atchley's proposed jury instructions are allowed after a hearing Monday before Senior Judge Thomas Phillips, jurors will be told Armstrong can still be guilty if he "deliberately closed his eyes to what would otherwise have been obvious to him."
The message the government wants to send jurors is everyone knows you have to pay taxes on a profit.
"No one can avoid responsibility for a crime by deliberately ignoring what is obvious," the proposed instructions state.
(Defense attorney Gregory) Isaacs, on the other hand, is pushing for legal instructions more sympathetic to his client's defense that he relied on accountant Stivers to act lawfully and remained ignorant of any illegality even when he should have known better.
"The defendant's conduct was not willful if he acted through negligence — even gross negligence — mistake, or accident, or due to a good-faith belief or misunderstanding as to the law," Isaacs' proposed instructions stated. "Unlike many criminal offenses, ignorance or a good faith misunderstanding of the law constitutes a defense to a criminal tax offense."
The message the defense wants to send jurors is not all of us can be doctors, lawyers or accountants, so we rely on those folks to know what's right and we trust them to do it.

Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation
To add 2 rolls of microfilmed records from World War II to broaden public accessibility to primary records.
Other Funds Leveraged
Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The target was greatly exceeded, thanks to the information provided by the vendor (Northern Micrographics). The original cost of $190.00 was derived from prices at the MHS website, but at the time of duplication, MHS no longer provided microfilm duplication services. MHS staff helpfully provided the vendor that it now uses, and after weighing the options, the volunteer decided that Northern Micrographics was the best choice.
Mr. Pechacek was also very helpful in negotiating a change in the project: while the minimum rate for any job was $250.00, the cost to duplicate one reel of 35mm microfilm was only $25.00! Therefore, Mr. Pechacek helped the volunteer negotiate a contract of 10 duplicate reels (5 each of the 2 original negative microfilm reels) to make best use of the grant funds. The volunteer ultimately decided upon 8 positive duplicates (4 each of the 2 original negatives) and 1 negative safety copy (2 each of the 2 originals). The volunteer paid via credit card a fee of $261.16 and received a $190.00 reimbursement, absorbing the remaining $71.16 herself as a gift to the museum.
Special Collections accessioned and cataloged the microfilm, and also offered to digitize it as PDFs to eventually be hosted on the library's website.
Not only did this allow the museum to send 1 set (1 reel each of the 2 originals) of positive microfilm to Hennepin County Special Collections as planned in the original grant, satisfying the purpose of greater (public) access to the microfilm, it also allowed the administration area of Hennepin County Library (at Ridgedale Library) to hold one set of positives and the safety copy of negatives in the administration area for safekeeping. The Museum is considering getting a safe or a safety deposit box. The other 4 sets of positives have been placed with the originals in the Miller Collection and cataloged.
In addition, with the help of the Hennepin County Library's microfilm printer (at Ridgedale Library), a complete hard copy printout of both reels will be made with the library's microfilm printer at no cost to the museum, and the hard copies can then be foldered, placed with the Miller Collection at the MNANG Museum, and cataloged. Therefore, at least a hard copy version of the two microfilm reels will also be available for reference at the MNANG Museum.
Thanks to the vendor, who encouraged the volunteer to get the most value for the grant dollars awarded, extra copies were made for the same amount of money as would have cost to merely make one duplicate each of the two original reels. Four each in the Miller Collection is rather a lot, but there seemed to be no justification for making fewer copies than the minimum charge ($250) would allow.

RBI governor Urjit Patel unveils UPI 2.0 version
The second version of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will also enable customers to check the invoice sent by merchant prior to making payment, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) said in a statement.
NEW DELHI: RBI governor Urjit Patel on Thursday unveiled UPI version 2.0 which will allow customers to use overdraft limit for making payments for merchants.
Delivering the presidential address at the event, Patel outlined that the launch has been the result of the calibrated approach adopted by the Reserve Bank of India - in the initial years as a developer and in later years as a catalyst and facilitator.
He said that the payment systems in India are not only comparable to any system, anywhere in the world, they also do set standards and good practices for others to emulate.
Patel also outlined the need for ensuring adequate importance to be ascribed to cyber security, stating that all efforts need to be channelled to this area and that costs should not be an inhibiting factor to this critical area, it said.
Speaking at the occasion, Nandan Nilekani, Adviser, NPCI lauded the efforts of Patel for the calibrated regulation and an innovation-fostering approach, which has resulted in India having many payment systems, which are 'state-of-the-art', and cost effective.
"The UPI has grown considerably post demonetisation and has been the catalyst for retail payment systems with many banks building products around the UPI with the fintech industry and other IT players positioned at the edge, providing innovative solutions for end-user delight. The system today is one of the best in the world that some of the developed countries are also trying to adopt," Nilekani said.
UPI was launched on April 11, 2016 and in the last two years the platform has emerged as a popular choice among users for sending and receiving money. BHIM UPI has recorded transactions worth Rs 45,845 crore and 235 million in terms of value and volume in the month of July 2018.
UPI 2.0 member banks as on date are: State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, RBL Bank, YES Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IndusInd Bank, Federal Bank and HSBC.
SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar said the UPI 2.0 has enhanced features such as invoice in the inbox, signed intent/QR and UPI mandate with blocking of funds all operating in a safe and secure manner.

Far Out Burger will be returning to the Cold Springs Farm CSA this Saturday 5/31 from 11-1. The CSA is located at 3309 W. 4th St. in Fort Worth. In order to better and more quickly serve everyone, we will only be offering one specialty burger in one size (small). But don't fret – the specialty burger for this week will be more than enough to satisfy even the biggest of burger cravings. Come on out and try our heavenly Strawberry & Field Greens Forever Burger, featuring a Far Out patty, fresh field greens, goat cheese, applewood smoked bacon, grilled strawberries, and fried shallots on a freshly baked Far Out bun. Look forward to seeing you there!
This Saturday is going to be a beautiful day, and what better way to enjoy a beautiful day than eating local burgers and drinking local beer?! Come visit Far Out Burger this weekend at Martin House's brewery tour and you're guaranteed to get both. We'll be unveiling the Far Out Pizza Burger to the public for the first time ever – a freshly baked Far Out bun containing a Far Out patty topped with melty provolone and mozzarella, pepperoni, caramelized Cold Springs Farm onions, green bell peppers, and a Far Out roasted red pepper marinara sauce made with Martin House's Rubberneck Red.
Hungry yet? Check out more about the tour, cost, and what to expect on Martin House's website here.
This past Sunday, April 27th, Far Out Burger participated in a 'Burgers & Brews' pop-up with Fort Worth "sushi ninja", Chef Jesús García. The idea behind this pop-up was to team up and create some unique and flavorful burger combinations, all while utilizing as much local produce as possible. We collaborated on different concepts and did a little experimenting to come up with, not one, not two, but FIVE different burger masterpieces — each served with a unique side and paired with the perfect beer.
Needless to say, even with the smaller 2 oz. patty size, some guests just couldn't quite make it through all 10 oz. of burger. But fortunately there were many who did, and even those that didn't were happy to take some home to share with their spouse, or enjoy again that night for dinner. A big thank you to everyone who attended — we really enjoyed seeing your smiling faces and full bellies!
Check out pictures from the event below (courtesy of Far Out Friend Kelly Phillips), including a pic and description of each burger/side/beer combination on the menu.
The star ingredient in this burger is the Thai Basil from Cold Springs Farm used to make a Far Out pesto with Thai flavors to coat the bottom bun. The pesto was topped with a Far Out Patty, grilled mango & prosciutto, and a few pieces of crispy rice paper, all served in between a freshly baked Far Out Bun. The Odell's St. Lupuline paired extremely well with this burger due to it's lightness, depth of flavor and floral notes.
Far Out Burger will be returning Saturday with a brand new specialty burger to enjoy at the Cold Springs Farm CSA drop-off in Fort Worth (3309 W. 4th st. Fort Worth) from 11-1. The specialty burger this week will feature a Far Out patty topped with Swiss cheese, applewood smoked bacon, asparagus, balsamic romaine and a Far Out fresno pepper aioli, all contained within a Far Out bun. We will also be serving the Groovy Burger, a Far Out take on a traditional burger. As always, 10% of our proceeds go to help those at REAL School Gardens and Tarrant Area Food Bank. We hope to see you there!
Far Out Burger is excited to announce we will be participating in the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival as part of the Burger, Brews, & Blues event on Saturday, March 29th. We are honored and excited to be participating in a festival which promotes 'Fort Worth cooking, food, beverage and culinary traditions' and whose ultimate goal is to give back. We are currently tinkering away on building the ultimate burger concoction for this event and hope to take home the People's Choice Award for Best Burger. Check out our Instagram or Twitter for a sneak peek at what we've been experimenting with.
FOB will be joining 12 other established food vendors, so the competition will be tough. In addition to burgers, there will be 26 breweries serving up two samples each of their best craft beer plus live Blues music to entertain throughout the evening. The event will be held at the beautiful and serene Edward's Ranch 'Heart of the Ranch' located in the heart of southwest Fort Worth.
Sunshine and warm temperatures are expected to return this Saturday, February 15th, and to help make a beautiful day even better, Far Out Burger will be returning as well with a brand new specialty burger to enjoy at the Cold Springs Farm CSA drop-off in Fort Worth (3309 W. 4th st. Fort Worth). The specialty burger this week will have a Far Out patty topped with Swiss, bacon, roasted red bell pepper, crispy kale and jalapeño aioli all contained within a Far Out bun. We will be also offering the Groovy Burger, a Far Out take on a traditional burger. As always, 10% of our proceeds go to help those at REAL School Gardens and Tarrant Area Food Bank.
Far Out Burger will be back in action this Saturday, February 1st from 11-1 at the Cold Springs Farm CSA drop off location on W 4th street (map below). In preparation for the Super Bowl we will be serving up the Fiesta Burger (picture below). It has black bean puree, Monterrey cheese, green salsa and/or pico de gallo, bacon bits, cumin dusted potato chips and is served on a Far Out bun. We will also be offering our Groovy Burger, a Far Out take on a traditional burger. As always, 10% of our proceeds go to help those at REAL School Gardens and Tarrant Area Food Bank.
Far Out Burger officially blasted into orbit on Saturday, November 9th, at the Cold Springs Farm (CSF) CSA drop*, with the second run a week later on November 16th. Both were beautiful days – perfect for picking up fresh produce and eating a juicy burger. To all of the adventurous people who tried one of our burgers, thank you! And there were lots of you – we sold out both weekends!
On launch day we served two burgers – the Groovy Burger, featuring caramelized CSF onions, American cheese, and Far Out (house-made) ketchup/mayo; as well as the less traditional To The Max! Burger featuring Ossau Iraty cheese, bacon, watercress, and a Far Out jam made from CSF persimmons (and if anyone happened to get pictures of this burger, please send them to nick@faroutburger.com). To my surprise, more people actually tried our less traditional or 'far out' option both weeks! The second week, on Nov 16th, we served the Groovy Burger again, and offered the Thanx Burger which featured honey-glazed bacon, cheesy creamy pearl onions, and a Far Out jelly made from cranberries and CSF pomegranates. We will continue to have 'far out' burgers featuring the great offerings of CSF as long as Beverly keeps producing them!
It was so great to meet and get feedback from so many of you. The next CSA drop is scheduled for 2014, so Far Out Burger will be on hold until then. In the meantime though, we will be posting a few burgers to give you a sneak peek of what to look forward to next year – so please keep checking back, or better yet, subscribe to my blog on the left hand side of this page. Finally, don't forget to check out the pictures below from Nov. 16th taken by Far Out Friend, Kelly Phillips! You can also check out her Instagram to see more fantastic photos. Enjoy the holidays and have a Far Out new year!

Parish of Falkland
The Parish of Falkland. Created by Ross Burgess for a Falkland Society lecture, and based on Playfair and Burgess, Map B. Click on the map to see a larger verson.
The historic Parish of Falkland, shown in yellow on the map, covered a much wider area than the Royal Burgh of Falkland, shown in brown, and included Newton of Falkland and Freuchie. The northern boundary of the parish was roughly the River Eden.
Officially the parish no longer exists (the current Community Council area, shown by the red outline, has somewhat different boundaries) but it is still a useful way of classifying historic buildings. The Falkland Estate has had various boundaries at times; the green outline shows an early-21st century state.
"A parish in Fifeshire bounded on the south by the parishes of Portmoak, Leslie and Markinch On the east by Markinch and Kettle, on the north by Strathmiglo and Auchtermuchty and on the west by the parish of Strathmiglo, it extends from east to west about 5 miles and about 2 1/2 miles in breadth from north to south, but at its two extremities about 3 1/2 miles. Besides the Royal Burgh of Falkland, it contains two villages namely Newton of Falkland and Freuchie. Of which see their respective descriptions in the adjoining sheets. This parish is in the Presbytery of Cupar and Synod of Fife. Patron - Bruce of Falkland."[1]

Performance of the CURB-65 Score in Predicting Critical Care Interventions in Patients Admitted With Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Study objective: Confusion, uremia, elevated respiratory rate, hypotension, and aged 65 years or older (CURB-65) is a clinical prediction rule intended to stratify patients with pneumonia by expected mortality. We assess the predictive performance of CURB-65 for the proximal endpoint of receipt of critical care intervention in emergency department (ED) patients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of electronic health records from a single tertiary center for ED patients admitted as inpatients with a primary diagnosis of pneumonia from 2010 to 2014. Patients with a history of malignancy, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, HIV, or readmission within 14 days were excluded. We assessed the predictive accuracy of CURB-65 for receipt of critical care interventions (ie, vasopressors, large-volume intravenous fluids, invasive catheters, assisted ventilation, insulin infusions, or renal replacement therapy) and inhospital mortality. Logistic regression was performed to assess the increase in odds of critical care intervention or inhospital mortality by increasing CURB-65 score.
Results: There were 2,322 patients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia in the study cohort; 630 (27.1%) were admitted to the ICU within 48 hours of ED triage and 343 (14.8%) received a critical care intervention. Of patients with a CURB-65 score of 0 to 1, 181 (15.6%) were admitted to the ICU, 74 (6.4%) received a critical care intervention, and 7 (0.6%) died. Of patients with a CURB-65 score of 2, 223 (27.0%) were admitted to the ICU, 127 (15.4%) received a critical care intervention, and 47 (5.7%) died. Among patients with CURB-65 score greater than or equal to 3, 226 (67.0%) were admitted to the ICU, 142 (42.1%) received a critical care intervention, and 43 (12.8%) died. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic for CURB-65 as a predictor of critical care intervention and mortality were 0.73 and 0.77, whereas sensitivity of CURB-65 score greater than or equal to 2 in predicting critical care intervention was 78.4%; for mortality, 92.8%.
Conclusion: Patients with CURB-65 score less than or equal to 2 were often admitted to the ICU and received critical care interventions. Given this finding and the relatively low sensitivity of CURB-65 for critical care intervention, clinicians should exercise caution when using CURB-65 to guide disposition. Future ED-based clinical prediction rules may benefit from calibration to proximal endpoints.

QuarkXPress also includes a built-in preflighting feature (called Job Jackets) that can identify potential output issues early in the design process.
