We have never seen such a concise fashion design rotor aircraft. Phantom 4 is pure white body design, with four silver motor and in the middle of the "DJI" Logo looks very bright eye, and the phantom series overall appearance has not changed much but Phantom 4 weight is more than phantom 3 series contains the battery and 1380 g four OARS.
Phantom 4 wheelbase reached (refers to between two motor diagonal) 350 mm long, adjacent blades rotating, maintain a certain distance air kinetic energy efficiency does not have a negative impact, and the characteristics of the four largest elf is the visual recognition system, can see the front bracket, with binocular cameras, mainly be responsible for the identification of forward-looking level 60°, barrier of plus or minus 27°vertically, of course, a certain range and environmental restrictions. The first is the strength of the GPS signal. The second is whether the visual system is strong. The improvement of the Phantom 4 over the Phantom 3 is that the two pairs of "eyes" are in the front.
Flipped the elves 4 can see "stomach" part, shock absorbing silicone material covered on both sides of the stents and consistent with the yuntai part of light gray. The whole "stomach" was full of pores for unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) work to normal heat dissipation. In the lower visual system, four "eyes" are in the spirit 4, the larger is the ultrasonic sensor, the smaller is the binocular camera, and the height and position recognition accuracy are improved.
It is worth mentioning that the Phantom 4 under the visual recognition in addition to more than Phantom 3 a camera. Two ultrasonic sensors advantage lies in the face of transparent liquid, mirror material, binocular cameras even failure can normal recognition. That means you can use the Phantom 4 drifting on the lake no danger and the phantom 3 may be bumped into the water.
Rack is the core part of uav aerial camera, four elves with new a 94 °FOV, f / 2.8 aperture of the lens (with UV mirror), effective pixels, 12.4 million, as many as four photo models, lens progress is compared with the Phantom 3 added a set of filters, fell to 36% and the lens distortion, very suitable for in the grand scenes, Mavic cry inside in the toilet), color reduction performance is stronger, and the highest can record 24/25 p 4 k video.
The battery position is held in two – side clasp, with four power and power indicator
Phantom 4 5350 mah lithium battery of 4s, fool proof design, type of LiPo4S (number, the higher the voltage), both sides have thermal barrier layer, battery at high temperature is a good way to heat dissipation, life for 28 minutes comparing 3 increased 25%. Actually use the surplus of a certain power is normal, general fly about 20 minutes).
The motor of the Phantom 4 is the same as the iron in the two diagonal motors. The installation requires a circle of color corresponding to the blade.
The ventilation cooling port on the arm is used to protect the dust with a very thin iron mesh, and the transparent part is the navigation light (all four corners).
Phantom 4 9 inches, quick release propeller installation method is simple, the corresponding color of the motor can lock down a twist, largely avoided the elves 3 using the tight slurry will be shoot oar phenomenon (design problem is not to say, but changed the user habit of propeller).
The Micro USB interface on the fuselage and the SD card slot, the direct bare design lacks a bit of beauty.
The Phantom 4's remote control is also designed with bright white design, and the other is like a lunch box. Small make up personal think consumer unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) is accepted, the control mode is simple and convenient is also very important reason, mobile devices and only need a cable connection between the remote control, embodiment can become a professional flight monitor (a row of small lights below shows power and state).
Remote controller bracket support 9.7 inch top mobile devices (the Air2 okay), the playing card buckle fixed way, strong adjustment stent size is convenient at the same time, the bracket folding twist screws can move in the middle of a word.
Remote control operating frequency range is 2.4 to 2.483 GHz, using GPS/GLONASS double mold positioning, maximum signal range is (FCC: CE: 5000 m 5000 m without interference, without sunscreen), no chance to according to the GPS coordinates, automatic switching rf power standard lies between the FCC and CE (mainland China). Remote control adopts the design of 6000 mAH lithium battery 2 s life aspects according to the small make up for personal use, there are no pressure about four to five, in addition elves 4 USES is xinjiang Lightbridge Gao Qingtu transmission technology, the highest support 720 p @ 30 FPS.
The rocker, on both sides of the remote control with automatic back design, small make up accustomed to using the hand (refers to joystick control mode, popular culture is set the joystick control channels), and metal sharp rocker cap is helpful to precise control and prevent hand slide. Below is the remote control switch and automatic return button, short press + long press 2 seconds, can open the remote control, positive is so simple, not as complicated as aeromodelling dedicated multi-channel remote control, remote control itself, the operation is simple, put most of the functions and technology to mobile devices and integration within a machine, users get started so simple.
Antenna gold-plated interface design can reduce interference (this is not elves 4 original antenna, is small treasure to buy X enhanced antenna), it is important to note players in flight, better be antenna keep parallel with aircraft in order to get good signal.
The top button of the remote control is the pause button (which allows the uav to hover quickly), the camera button and the shutter EV value to adjust the scroll wheel.
The button on the other side is the mode switch (A and P, as well as the S) button, the video record button and the Angle adjustment of the cloud platform.
The metal support rack at the bottom of the remote control and the silicone pad.
Phantom 4 charger, can for rechargeable battery and remote control at the same time, the battery pins adopts the design of both positive and negative, the user need not consider also don't have to observe the connection interface, can be quickly according to the personal use of small make up (the battery remote control in the remaining 25% power, for example), full of an elf 4 batteries need 60 minutes, with the remote control requires more than 70 minutes, for many users recommend buying battery butler (more than the battery to charge) in turn.
Micro USB cable and USB OTG for upgrading firmware and connecting mobile devices
The complimentary lakesha 16GB Micro SDHC memory card, U1 standard is very suitable for high-speed shooting
The Phantom 4 family photo
DJI GO APP experience: mature drawing control interface
DJi, there are average GO and average 4 GO two graph APP, average 4 GO for 4 series, Mavic Pro is the Phantom and Inspire 2 new models, and the average GO 1, the Phantom, applicable to Inspire Matrice, OSMO and Mavic Pro, average 4 GO show new detection radar map, returning obstacles detection, chirping of stop electricity, as new features (very useful), but small make up in order to take care of most of the players on average GO to share what functions need to be aware of.
Enter the average after the GO APP, is concise and clear interface, even beginner can locate what you want to do right now, the upper left corner of the "plane" symbols recording the detailed flight record, very important small make up to three times, record of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) after the lost find flight! Unmanned aerial vehicle for flight record! Unmanned aerial vehicle for flight record!
The record list has a very detailed flight record
The record has a very detailed flight record
The editor can transmission drone photographs and video in real time.
Main interface "caps" icon in the top right corner is the Dji for newer flight academy, which has a real scene of the flight simulation novice, detailed video tutorials. Older drivers had the better have a look because the coverage of "bomb" in the drone is high.
DJI GO figure of the interface is not complicated though it may show the various state index of information alone is complicated. The top area of the icon from left to right in turn is a GPS/GLONASS double satellite signal strength. The compass letter, remote control, HQ picture and aircraft power signal, and the parameters of the left shows the vehicle real-time height, distance and velocity, etc. The left bottom corner and right bottom are aircraft radar and real-time positioning map. We should be paid to the aircraft flying in over-the-horizon, judging direction in addition to the use of cameras, radar direction with map is also a kind of method.
Before you take off, be sure to check whether the vehicle is in normal condition. In the upper right shows the location of the "4" Phantom click into the vehicle status list, focus attention to module self-checking, compass, IMU (inertial measurement unit), electrically controlled state, haeundae state is abnormal, of course, but also pay attention to the temperature, power and aircraft when only the best P at the beginning of the new model for flight, flight control is one of the most stable at this time.
The spirit 4 provides the Japanese hand, the American hand, the Chinese hand and the custom four kinds of rocker modes
Elf's perception of the 4 set, it is suggested that the first and the fourth is open, can avoid the collision probability, to a certain extent, and advice when flying around about strategy, it is best to craft the open when there is obstruction in enough height or above is preferred, or up to bypass without depending on the visual system, may encounter obstacles above; Intelligent following is also the same principle, such as branches, antennas and other small objects, the visual system cannot recognize.
In order to avoid rookie misoperation, the mode switch between the remote control and the DJI GO flight control parameter is a nice feature. Take off its height must be set high enough (to avoid accidental encounter obstacles), small make up general advice about 100 meters is enough (depending on the place environment), high limit options in the current version of the DJI GO in, because of the many urban areas are limited to 120 meters, perhaps only in some remote areas not management can play a role, new beginner can also open the new mode, to adapt to the feel of remote control of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav).
Shoot the sample and video: humanized shooting Settings
The preparatory work
In order to find the beautiful scenery city, we come to foshan (China one of largest city)two landmark buildings located: the lotus sports center and the lingnan pearl gymnasium, originally wanted to go to guangzhou pearl river new town but know there already ban, shooting a group of photos and video, you to feel the charm of the aerial together, the picture above is the original didn't modify (relatively true), the following pictures are simply changed the saturation, contrast and brightness (relative to the eye), between the two there is no absolute good, style is, after all, turnip greens, his taste.
Century lotus sports center
Dongping river (yuntai FPV mode)
Dongping bridge
The nearby take-off secret base, the concrete reinforced concrete structure actually quite affects the normal work of the compass, later on "the second floor" is better.
The bridge side
Liannan Pearl Stadium. The light was not opening and the scene is not good.
bird view
The beauty of city lights
Phantom 4 all aspects are very friendly to the newer. The first is the parameters of the camera settings humanized, fixed aperture ISO and exposure time according to the environment (value) according to the EV, pay attention to the lower left entirely in the horizontal line (wind speed) should be relatively stable, moreover yuntai using three axis design itself can eliminate a certain degree of jitter, as long as pay attention to master certain shooting skills, it's easy to take a clear photo and video. Productivity of science and technology and content up to now, even the aerial humanizing is really a very happy thing, think that year small make up also for how to install cameras on fixed wing, spend a great mind.
Said flight feeling again, at that time there was a time when small make up took off is on the roof, the wind speed reaches level 5 hover is still very robust (like big jiang claims), but where is the roof of reinforced concrete structures, the more influence the compass calibration, suggested that readers choose open ground take-off. In indoor flight (generally no GPS signal), even with the visual system have to be careful, if suddenly dim light cause visual system failure, will profile switching mode, the aircraft don't hover will automatically inertial motions, comparison test of fly hand manipulation ability.
Conclusion: towards intelligence and humanization
As a mature technology product of the fourth generation of dji jinn series, we feel that the personal aerial camera is moving to a more intelligent and humane era. Such as multiple function such as obstacle avoidance, automatic return, show flight appeared to be more intelligent, and simple manipulation of aerial and figure and more humanized interface, elves 4 currently single 6999 yuan price, for individual aerial elves 4 meet the demand of various aspects (a bit is not portable, can choose Mavic Pro), and for the first time contact of uavs fly, try the elves 3 series also is right choice, the price also cheaper ($1850).

Turns out it just needed some air. I guess I don't drive it all that often and should probably check the pressure of my tires more than never. My rear driver side tire was pancake flat after losing enough air to brake the seal after being driven on for a bit. Dang.
It really wasn't too bad. I woke up this morning thinking 2-4" of snow on the ground would meet me but was surprised to only see cloudy skies and nothing really sticking yet. My neighbor across the street has a flag on her front porch that I can see from my bedroom window; this morning it was pointing straight south. This means a tough(ish) ride considering I have to head pretty much north the entire trip. I loaded up my panniers with hardware store goodies for the shop and pedaled away. It's been a while since I've had much non-Copper weight behind me on a ride in. It feels a lot different when you're pulling it behind you in a trailer compared to actually on your bike. This was abundantly clear when I went to get out of my saddle to climb for a minute. I almost instantly sat back down.Arrived this morning with hardly a minute to spare; hauling a heavy load of stuff definitely slows down my trip. Now as I watch the snow starting to really fly, I'm thinking about my ride home. Still will be warmer than in my heat-less car!!

Metroid is a huge franchise that many fans never want to see die. Now that it's coming back in full force, but in first-person, there's been quite a stir up in Nintendo's sea. With that in mind we'll be talking about Metroid for GameCube, and how its changes may not be as drastic as you think. It's in first-person, but is the game going to be comparable to Quake or Half-Life? Shouldn't the game still focus on exploring and uncovering one new territory after another as you build you skills? We answer these and many other questions you might have about the upcoming title. We'll try to squeeze as much of each in as we can, but be sure to tune in on time so you don't miss a bit of it.
Also on the agenda is a discussion of Conker's Bad Fur Day. We simply can't get enough of it, and we're sure you can't either. It's daring, it's edgy, and it's hilarious. So, to point out some of the more subtle details IGN64 will again be airing footage of Conker in action, likely much of the diverse multiplayer modes. Of course, we won't just be letting the game run on your screen. We'll be taking question and talking about it until your ears bleed. So be sure to set aside some time for this very special broadcast.
Again, we must remind you that the show is still in its testing phase. We are not professional show hosts, merely geeky editors who spend many sleepless nights tossing and turning over the thought of such things as holding the GameCube controller, playing a new Metroid, and cooking pizza in our GameCubes. So, whatever technical or verbal difficulties may ensue, we ask you to bear with us. We'll see you then!
The show begins at 5:30pm Pacific. To join in the fun, you'll need a PC, and you'll need to download and install something first.
What do you need?
Once you have downloaded and installed Windows Media Player (if you don't have it already), you'll need to download the Rotor Player software. All you have to do is click on the provided link and install. It's very simple. Now you're ready to access our broadcast.
When does it start and how do you access it?
- Our IGN streaming broadcast begins at 5:30 PM Pacific Standard Time, Wednesday, February 21. It will last for a half-hour (or more).
- At that time, you can access the broadcast by clicking right here.
So get installing, and we'll see you on the air at 5:30pm.

WASHINGTON — Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair said Wednesday the growing robo-signing scandal was symptomatic of the poor incentives that marred the securitization market, but she opposed a universal freeze on foreclosures.
While she continued to push for loan workouts, Bair said, "Across-the-board foreclosure moratoriums - I'm not sure that would help anyone. I think it would forestall a process that necessarily has to take place," Bair said.
Addressing a Washington conference of the Urban Land Institute, Bair also hailed government efforts to improve quality of mortgage servicing, and continued her criticism of the government-sponsored enterprises.
"In hindsight, the implicit government backing enjoyed by the mortgage GSEs, where profits were privatized and the risks were socialized, was an accident waiting to happen," she said.
Her speech, which included a question-and-answer period, came amid calls for investigations of whether banks' poor documentation was to blame for improper foreclosures of some borrowers.
Although Bair said FDIC-supervised banks "upon initial review" do not appear to have been responsible, she called the issue a "serious matter."
"The robo-signer situation underscores how wrong things went in the financial crisis and that there is still a lot of work to do," she said. "Foreclosure is a costly, unpleasant and emotional process. … Loan modifications should be considered whenever possible. Foreclosure should only come after careful thought, thorough analysis and good documentation."
The revelations, she added, reflect "the poorly aligned incentives that have existed in the mortgage servicing business."
The FDIC has attempted to address servicer incentives through a recent rule restricting use of a safe harbor in failed-bank scenarios for securitized assets. In addition to requiring bank originators to retain a piece of securitized loans in order to get the safe harbor, the rule also deals with how servicers are compensated.
Bair expressed hope coming regulations to implement the retention requirements in the Dodd-Frank bill will likely make similar improvements for all financial players.
"While the FDIC's new rule will help create positive incentives for servicing, it is, by the nature of our authority, limited to banks," she said.

With the original presumably lost along with Gallifrey - at least for now - the Doctor's school report has instead been faithfully recreated by the latest actor to portray him, Peter Capaldi, and features his teacher's comments on a variety of subjects. It certainly comes as no surprise to learn that although he earns an A+ for Dalek fighting, his manners are found to be 'far from satisfactory'!
Capaldi joins sixteen other celebrities in reimagining reports from their school days, including fellow Doctor Who actors Hugh Bonneville (The Curse of the Black Spot) and Bill Nighy (Vincent and the Doctor).
The auction - which can be viewed here, and also includes a signed photo of Capaldi - is now live and runs through until July 4th.

Almond milk is a staple in my home. My son has been drinking almond milk from the time he stopped breastfeeding, which was around 18 months, and my husband has to have it every day. We used to buy it in the carton and found ourselves spending a lot on it per month. Add to that the not always safe "natural" ingredients that gets added to it and you've got a reason to find other alternatives to having almond milk.
It was my husband's idea to start making our own, and I was like, who got the time. But it was after I did the research on how to make it that I realized how many people are doing just that. The simplest way to make almond milk includes just a blender, filtered or spring water, and a cup or two of almonds.
Yes, literally all you need is water and almonds, and if you want a bit more taste like the flavors you find in brands like Silk, we can make that happen too. Check out the recipe below and start making your own almond milk tonight!

With traditional neurostimulation, a small device is used to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. The painful feeling is replaced with a different feeling, which some describe as a tingling or massaging sensation.
BurstDR™ stimulation works similarly. However, BurstDR stimulation was designed to manage pain more naturally. It works by mimicking natural patterns found in the brain—modifying pain signals and changing the way your body perceives pain.1 Most patients do not feel any sensation with BurstDR stimulation.2,3 St. Jude Medical offers both therapies—giving you a greater chance at success.
Typically, a trial lasts three to five days, but can last up to 10 days. Your doctor is the best source of information about the length of your trial.
While many doctors allow their patients to take medications during the evaluation, every doctor has a different approach. Ask your doctor about taking medication during your evaluation.
Most patients receive medication to help with any discomfort and anxiety they may feel as the leads are inserted. As a result, most report very little discomfort during the procedure. However, many report some soreness afterward at the insertion site.
Yes. One of the benefits of the temporary evaluation is that it is designed to be reversible. The removal of a temporary system is simple and often takes less than a minute. It is frequently performed in a doctor's office or day surgery center.
The purpose of the evaluation is to determine your response to neurostimulation and to find out if it controls your pain throughout the day. You may be encouraged to try light activities, such as walking, to see if neurostimulation relieves your pain during those activities. Your doctor may advise you to avoid strenuous activities. If your job is strenuous, you may or may not be able to return to work. Your doctor will determine what is best for you.
The evaluation procedure and implanted system are typically covered by most major insurance plans, Medicare and workers' compensation programs. You will need to work with your doctor's office and insurance company to determine your coverage.

MC Saizmundo, alter ego of journalist and musician Deian ap Rhisiart, was given a warm welcome at the home of one of Cuba's most famous residents, Diana Díaz López while filming for S4C's Fo, Fi a'r MC music documentary.
Diana is the daughter of world-famous photographer Alberto Korda (1928-2001), who was appointed personal photographer to Fidel Castro following the revolution in Cuba and took the iconic photo of Che Guevara (1928-1967).
Deian learns about the photo's amazing history in the first programme in the series, in which he follows in the footsteps of renowned Welsh bard T. H. Parry-Williams to South America, broadcast tomorrow on S4C (12 March) at 9.00pm.
Korda took the picture of Che Guevara in March 1960. Che was attending the funeral of one of the victims of the La Coubre boat explosion and he stood for a brief moment in front of the camera and stared at the horizon. Korda was quick enough to capture the moment and turn it into an iconic image. Even today, Che Guevara's worldwide fame is associated with this remarkable photo.
In 1967 Korda gave the photo as a present to an Italian and when Che Guevara was killed in October that year, a print was made of the original and more than one and a half million copies were sold in a matter of months.
"My father used to go everywhere with Fidel and took photos of Che as well when he had the chance," smiles Diana Díaz López as she talks about her father.
Korda didn't receive a penny for one of the world's most iconic pictures and he was buried in 2001 with his headstone carved in exactly the same shape as the renowned photo.

Master's programme in Applied and Computational Mathematics
Students from the master's programme in Applied and Computational Mathematics will become skilled applied mathematicians, well-prepared for advanced industrial positions or continuing graduate studies. The programme offers four tracks: Computational Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Optimisation and Systems Theory, and Statistical Learning and Data Analytics.
Applied and Computational Mathematics at KTH
The programme consists of foundation courses that are mandatory for all students, and once the individual specialisation track is chosen, there are relevant required courses within that area as well. The programme offers four tracks: Computational Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Optimisation and Systems Theory, and Statistical Learning and Data Analytics.
Regardless of which track students attend, the final term consist of a degree project that may be carried out in an academic or industrial environment in Sweden or abroad. Students are welcome to discuss project ideas with the staff of the Department of Mathematics, but are also encouraged to seek other contacts, in the academic world and in industry, to identify suitable projects. The result of the degree project is provided as a written report and as a presentation at a seminar.
Computational Mathematics track
The field of computer simulations is of great importance for high-tech industry and scientific/engineering research, for example virtual processing, climate studies, fluid dynamics and advanced materials. Thus, computational science and engineering is an enabling technology for scientific discovery and engineering design. It involves mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, computer science, high-performance computing and visualisation. The remarkable development of large scale computing in the last decades has turned computational science and engineering into the "third pillar" of science, complementing theory and experiment.
The Computational Mathematics track is mainly concerned with the mathematical foundations of computational science and engineering. However, in this track we will also discuss issues of high-performance computing. Given the interdisciplinarity, the final curriculum may vary greatly depending on your interests.The Computational Mathematics track contains courses providing knowledge of design, analysis and application of numerical methods for mathematical modeling, usable in computer simulations catering to both research and prototyping.
Financial mathematics track
Financial mathematics is applied mathematics used to analyse and solve problems related to financial markets. Any informed market participant would exploit an opportunity to make a profit without any risk of loss. This fact is the basis of the theory of arbitrage-free pricing of derivative instruments. Arbitrage opportunities exist but are rare. Typically both potential losses and gains need to be considered. Hedging and diversification aim at reducing risk. Speculative actions on financial markets aim at making profits. Market participants have different views of the future market prices and combine their views with current market prices to take actions that aim at managing risk while creating opportunities for profits. Portfolio theory and quantitative risk management present theory and methods that form the theoretical basis of market participants' decision making.
Financial mathematics has received lots of attention from academics and practitioners over recent decades and the level of mathematical sophistication has risen substantially. However, a mathematical model is at best a simplification of the real world phenomenon that is being modeled, and mathematical sophistication can never replace common sense and knowledge of the limitations of mathematical modelling.
Optimisation and Systems Theory track
Optimisation and Systems Theory is a discipline in applied mathematics primarily devoted to methods of optimisation, including mathematical programming and optimal control, and systems theoretic aspects of control and signal processing. The discipline is also closely related to mathematical economics and applied problems in operations research, systems engineering and control engineering. The master's education in Optimisation and Systems Theory provides knowledge and competence to handle various optimisation problems, both linear and nonlinear, to build up and analyse mathematical models for various engineering systems, and to design optimal algorithms, feedback control, and filters and estimators for such systems.
Optimisation and Systems Theory has wide applications in both industry and research. Examples of applications include aerospace industry, engineering industry, radiation therapy, robotics, telecommunications, and vehicles. Furthermore, many new areas in biology, medicine, energy and environment, and information and communications technology require an understanding of both optimisation and system integration.
Statistical Learning and Data Analytics track
Statistics is the science of learning from data. Classical statistics is trying to understand data by determining a plausible model for data, and testing whether the data fits the model. Modern learning is concerned with computational statistics and automated methods for extracting information from data.
As a result of technological progress and the emergence of massive data sets, a variety of scientific fields and their approaches to data analysis are converging at the interface of statistics and machine learning. This new field of data analytics focuses on modeling and knowledge extraction for predictive purposes. In Statistical Learning and Data Analytics, focus is on discovering new features in the data and on confirming or falsifying existing hypotheses. Predictive data analytics applies statistical models for predictive forecasting or classification. Data analytics, when it includes at its core mathematical statistics and computational learning, has the potential for transformative impact on science, business, and social sciences.
Advanced mathematics and computer simulations are present within several important fields, their use having increased dramatically by the rapid development in computer software and hardware. Financial mathematics, medicine and biology are prevalent areas, but students will be able to bring the usage of mathematics and simulations into a multitude of applications.
The graduates of this programme are in high demand on the labour market as well as in academia. Alumni work in large and smaller companies like Ericsson, ABB, Comsol, SAAB, RaySearch Labs, Modelon, If, Citibank, Brainlab, ÅF, Atlas Copco, Elekta, Process Systems Enterprise, Goldman Sachs, and many others. Another alternative is an academic carrier in which the programme's alumni continue with their doctoral studies at KTH, other Swedish universities, or other leading European and US universities.

Faculty and research
The programme is run by the Department of Mathematics. The Department of Mathematics at KTH hosts some of the strongest Swedish research groups in mathematics. It comprises four units: Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics, Optimization and Systems Theory, and Numerical Analysis. Jointly, these units perform research in a broad spectrum of mathematical disciplines, ranging from pure to applied mathematics. Some of the current larger research centres hosted at the department are:
- Random matrices, sponsored by the Wallenberg foundation
- Image processing, sponsored by SSF
- PDE, sponsored by the ERC/VR/Gustafsson's foundation
- MathDataLab, sponsored by Brummer & Partners
Research carried out at the Division of Optimization and Systems Theory includes various topics in mathematical systems theory (Xiaoming Hu, Per Enqvist and Johan Karlsson), with particular emphasis on stochastic systems, filtering, identification and robust and nonlinear control; mathematical programming (Anders Forsgren and Per Enqvist), with large-scale nonlinear programming, structural optimization; and a wide range of applications. Examples of applications include radiation therapy (Forsgren), robotics (Hu), and telecommunications (Karlsson).
The research in the Division of Numerical Analysis includes numerical methods for stochastic and deterministic differential equations (Anders Szepessy (member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences), Mattias Sandberg), computational modeling in systems biology (Michael Hanke), numerical methods for micro and complex flow (Anna-Karin Tornberg (member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences), Katarina Gustavsson), multiscale methods (Olof Runborg, Patrick Henning), finite element methods for multiphase flow (Sara Zahedi). The researchers are working actively in many interdisciplinary cooperative ventures, e.g., the Swedish e-Science Research Centre (SeRC), the Linné FLOW Centre, and with Karolinska Institutet. Students will also have access to Sweden's fastest supercomputers via the PDC Centre for High-Performance Computing.
The Division of Mathematical Statistics hosts active groups in probability theory, stochastic analysis and statistical inference with applications to extreme value theory (Boualem Djehiche, Henrik Hult, Pierre Nyquist), finance and risk management (Boualem Djehiche, Henrik Hult), stochastic optimal control (Boualem Djehiche, Thomas Önskog), statistical learning (Henrik Hult, Timo Koski, Tatjana Pavlenko), Monte Carlo methods (Henrik Hult, Jimmy Olsson), computational statistics (Timo Koski, Jimmy Olsson, Tatjana Pavlenko), and statistical methodologies for high-dimensional models with applications (Tatjana Pavlenko).
Changes in the programme may occur.

Pork loin can be a little fickle: it's rather lean and can dry out amazingly quickly when cooked conventionally.
These were cooked sous vide (in separate bags) for 4-5 hours at 131°F. They've been in the freezer for a couple of months, so I thought it time to finally smoke 'em. Continue reading

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Studies show 2017 was the safest year in history for commercial airlines worldwide.
There were no fatal commercial, passenger jet accidents in 2017, according to two new studies, including one from airline consultant To70.
"Aviation has learned from its mistakes and is an increasingly safe form of travel," said Adrian Young with To70.
The only deaths were from crashes involving cargo or turboprop planes.
On New Year's Eve, there were two small plane accidents, including one in Costa Rica that killed 12 people.
Experts attribute fewer deaths and accidents to high levels of airline safety and some good fortune but they say there's no room for complacency.
There are more commercial flights now than ever.
Plus, non-fatal accidents were up this year including cases where planes couldn't stop at the end of the runway.
Experts are also concerned about passengers checking laptops and other electronics with lithium-ion batteries, which could ignite an in-flight fire.
"The lithium-ion fire may be too great for the fire extinguishing capability of a baggage compartment," said Young.
President Donald Trump highlighted the improved numbers in a tweet saying, "Since taking office I have been very strict on commercial aviation."
Meredith and Michael Scarborough travel several times a year.
"I feel safe," said Michael Scarborough.
Experts believe the trend of increased safety will continue.
The study by the Aviation Safety Network found 35 people died on the ground from airline accidents.

This plant variety is an herbaceous perennial and this is widely used because of its colorful foliage. The colors of the foliage range from yellow to green to gold and even blue. The blue variety is actually green in color but the waxy substance makes the hosta foliage look like color blue. Apart from its color, this plant species is known for the various sizes and shapes of its foliage. Some shapes are elongated while other hybrids are rounded and conclave. The texture also differs from each hostas hybrid, some have a smooth surface while some hybrids possess as bubbled leaf surface.
The best way to take care of this plant species is to place them under a shaded area as the foliage colors can lighten-up if they are exposed to too much sun, except for the hybrid that produces gold foliage color.
Green hosta hybrid
It is worth noting that this plant species is grown and propagated primarily for its foliage and not for their blooms, except for the Hosta Plantaginea hybrid which is popular for its sweet-smelling white blooms. This hybrid can be grown in partial shade area to full sun in order to induce blooming.
Gold hosta hybrid
Unlike the other hybrids, this one must be placed in an area that has a full sun exposure in order to attain its gold colored- foliage. The color of the bloom of this hybrid is lavender.
Blue leaves hybrid
This hybrid must be placed in a shaded area in order to thrive well. This is called the Blue Moon and the leaves resemble the shape of a heart. This hybrid does not grow as tall as the other hybrids. It blooms around late summer and the color of the bloom is lavender and lilac-blue.
White-variegated leaves
This hybrid of hosta is also called medio variegated because the center of the foliage is white in color. The other type is called the marginally variegated because the white color in the foliage is located at the edges and not in the muddle.
How to take care of hosta plant
1) They love to get a lot of water but drainage is also important. If it will be planted in clay pots, it is advisable that you choose the ones that have holes at the bottom.
2) Use fertile at least once a week in order for them to thrive well.
3) Always remove the dead leaves as this can lead to fungal and viral infection.
Hosta NZ offers vegetable plants such as roses, grasses, shrubs, perennials, etc.

MELBOURNE — How is that, in our highly tech-centric society, we have such "smart" phones, capable of tracking and organizing our lives, and such dumb condoms, capable of irritating even the most saftey-loving couple?
Well, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is giving enhanced pleasure a jumpstart with a $100,000 donation to the University of Wollongong in Australia to develop a "next generation condom" that allows for greater sensation.
Researchers there hope to replace latex altogether with a new material called a tough hydrogel, which is actually an amalgamation of materials that are alleged to be "more skin like, so they can be made to act, feel and look more like real skin," said Dr. Robert Gorkin, a biomedical researcher involved with the project.
The team at U of W team encompasses people from diverse fields to achieve two main goals: material and biological validation (i.e., that it works AND feels good).
"I'm very excited about this opportunity to apply some of the research we've been doing here at U of W for a new purpose that could truly improve the lives of many," Gorkin said, suggesting that a better-feeling condom may lead to increased use and decreased unwanted pregnancies and STDs.
According to the HuffingtonPost, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation named 11 condom research grant recipients in November.

Expert picks provided by: Jerod Kieler
On Twitter: @Jkieler1010
The Canadian Open came down to the final hole, but in the end, Jason Day held off Bubba Watson and local favorite David Hearn to claim his second victory of the season. This week, the PGA Tour takes us to Gainsville, Virginia and the Tiger Woods' hosted Quicken Loans National. This year, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, which has hosted five President's Cups, will be hosting the event for the first time. Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler headline the field that includes four of the top-30 players in the world. Last year at Congressional CC, Justin Rose defeated Sean Stefani in a playoff.
Tier A
1) Justin Rose (2): Rose has been a little up and down this year, but he does have two top-10s in his last four starts. In his most recent start, Rose finished in a tie for 6th at the Open Championship. Although not on this course, Rose is a two time champion of the Quicken Loans National.
2) Rickie Fowler (1): I am going chalk this week as Fowler is the second highest ranked player in the field behind Rose. In his last six worldwide starts, Fowler has captured two victories. Fowler won the PLAYERS Championship in mid-May and then won the Scottish Open the week before the Open Championship.
Tier B
1) Daniel Summerhays (1): This is a pretty sad group in Tier B. I am going to roll with Summerhays who has top-11s in each of his past two starts. Summerhays tied for 8th at the John Deere Classic and then shared 11th last week at the Canadian Open.
2) Nick Watney (1): Although he only has one top-10, Watney has made the cut in five of his past six events. Albeit on different courses, Watney has three career top-10s at the Quicken Loan National, including a victory in 2011
Tier C
1) Tony Finau (1): Finau didn't set the world on fire at the Canadian Open, but he did shoot a final round 65 which faulted him into a share of 22nd. Finau now has top-25 finishes in seven of his past eight events, including two top-10s.
2) Will Wilcox (0): Wilcox withdrew from last week's Canadian Open due to a wrist injury, but I am going to ride his hot streak. Two weeks ago, Sweet Willie earned his 2016 PGA Tour card by birdying the 72nd hole of the Barbasol Championship. Wilcox finished solo 2nd, his second straight top-10. Wilcox has six top-25 finishes in his past nine events.
Other Golfers Considered:
Jimmy Walker (Tier A): Walker has not been playing that well as of late, but he narrowly edged out Bill Haas for this spot. Walker has made the weekend in each of his past five events, including a runner-up finish at the Byron Nelson Championship.
Chris Stroud (Tier B): I almost wanted to choose Matt Jones for this spot as he withdrew from the event this afternoon. It might make the most sense to take 0 points instead of the like -10. In any case, I chose Stroud who has top-10s in two of his past five events.
Johnson Wagner (Tier C): Wagner's game has been trending in the right direction since tying for 5th at the John Deere Classic. Since then, he tied for 10th at the Barbasol Championship and shared 18th at last week's Canadian Open.

TITLE: Continuous GPS observations of crustal loading from hydrometeorological events on the scale of storms to drought
Recent studies using continuous GPS to estimate changes in terrestrial water storage point to a future where the global GPS infrastructure for monitoring crustal deformation can be leveraged for hydrological applications. Seasonal water and snow loading has long been known to generate an elastic earth response that is observable by GPS, but only recently have these signals been modeled to recover the underlying loads at local and regional scales. My earlier work with colleagues at Scripps showed that GPS can be used to monitor subtle surface deformation due to the response of the hydrological system to drought, and to estimate the magnitude and spatial distribution of related water loss. Recently, I have extended the temporal range of this analysis from drought-focused interannual signals to event-scale loading from individual storms, and I have started using satellite gravimetry data from NASA's GRACE mission to constrain GPS observations. These new efforts are revealing the promise and challenges of using GPS to study crustal deformation across the temporal spectrum, with relevance to geophysical problems such as seismic triggering and the fingerprinting analysis of vertical deformation.

Can't register
Talk about stuff specific to the site -- bugs, suggestions, and of course praise welcome.
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
I'm trying to register and getting a message saying I answered a question wrong. The only thing that's blank is "How many letters in Mozilla?" Is 7 an incorrect response? How could I possibly be getting that wrong? I know how to count.
Is there something else wrong with the info I'm entering? I've never seen this forum before, so it can't be that I'm blocked for bad behavior. My e-mail address is valid, and I'm quite certain I entered the same password twice. Also, that password doesn't have any special characters. It's a reasonably complex and long password. What else could be wrong?
Of course, this message won't get seen by anybody if it really is a problem with counting to 7, since the same question is here above, in which case this is of no help whatsoever and I'll never be able to get an answer.
P.S. Just for the heck of it, I tried entering 6 instead of 7, and now I'm able to see a message preview without errors. IOW, that appears to have solved the problem. But count with me, please: M-O-Z-I-L-L-A. Looks like 7 to me. Maybe you mean to ask "How many DIFFERENT letters are in Mozilla". If that's the case, you need to clarify this, and thanks for wasting my last half hour.

Yeah, we're aware of the issue and it does seem to be a matter of a poorly worded question. Unfortunately, the forum moderators don't have access to change the text involved.
I tried registering for the past 4 days and could not do it. The last time, I read the question carefully and tried putting "6" since the letter L is repeated. However, that question is poorly worded.
I tried 7, seven, Seven a few times. Now I get the try again later message. How long is later? I desparately need help with Thunderbird...
Try 6 instead of 7. The question is poorly worded and should probably read "how many unique letters" are there in Mozilla.
Thanks.. I also worry about the registration..
Answer is 6

Q&A with Stony Creek Brewery's Head Brewmaster Andy Schwartz
What is the source of water for Stony Creek Brewery's beer?
Andy Schwartz:
The source of our water is Lake Saltonstall.
Do you see benefits to protecting and restoring forests on lands which surround the source waters for your beer?
Andy Schwartz:
Absolutely. Water makes up about 90-95% of what beer is. The purity of the water and its chemical makeup have a direct effect on beer quality and flavor. The more we can maintain and promote the land surrounding our waters, the more consistent and better our beers will be.
How is Stony Creek working to be sustainable or environmentally friendly?
Andy Schwartz:
Our building and our operations are quite sustainably designed. All lighting throughout is LED. There are expansive windows everywhere to let in natural light. Many of our major systems (air compressors, boiler etc) are high efficiency units. We do not use air conditioning in the production space, instead relying on filtered outside air and large overhead fans. All spent grain is sourced out to local farms. We recycle all cardboard, plastics etc.
How has nature inspired you as a brewer?
Andy Schwartz:
I think in many ways we look to nature to provide us with natural flavor combinations and inspirations. The food we use to cook with and eat, the aromas from herbs, spices, flowers, hops etc, all give us inspiration towards developing new flavor combinations in beer.

The process of obtaining insurance for risks located in Mexico is regulated by Mexican law which arguably protects the local market and prohibits assureds to buy insurance directly from non-Mexican insurers and to use non-Mexican insurance brokers. Foreign reinsurers can provide cover if they are registered and authorised by the Mexican authorities and provided that the procedure followed complies with the local regulations. Below we explain this process in some detail, we also explain the requirements that need to be complied with under the anti- money laundering regulations.

Only in New York…
A tentative state budget includes a provision that seems directly aimed at helping 'The Tonight Show' move back to the Big Apple, according to the New York Daily News.
Following rumors that NBC is moving its popular late-night talk show from California back to New York with a new host – Jimmy Fallon – replacing Jay Leno, New York state legislators found a crafty way to help encourage the move.
The provision falls under the state's tax credits for movies filmed in New York. Now, those will include certain television shows, specifically "a talk or variety program that filmed at least five seasons outside the state prior to its first relocated season in New York, "and with episodes that are "filmed before a studio audience" of at least 200 people. The program also needs at least a $30 million annual production budget or $10 million in capital expenses to qualify.
In other words, a program exactly like 'The Tonight Show.' Other "talk or variety" shows might meet the budget and studio audience thresholds, but the give-away is in the specificity of the re-location requirements. 'The Tonight Show' left New York in 1972, moving from West 44th St. to the west coast of California, where it established itself as "the Granddaddy of talk shows" by being the longest currently running television entertainment program. NBC is building a new studio at Rockefeller Plaza, but has not confirmed the relocation of the Tonight Show.
The tax law change could help. Currently, television series and movies already get a tax credit for 30% of their production costs if they start up in New York, but not if they relocate. The credit costs the state over $400 million in revenue per year.
If Fallon does take over in New York, the city will be second to none as a home for talk or variety shows. The following programs already call New York Home:
- Anderson Live
- The Colbert Report
- The Daily Show
- The View
- Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
- The Early Show
- Good Morning America
- Late Show with David Letterman
- The Rachael Ray Show
- Saturday Night Live
- The Today Show
- The Wendy Williams Show
and many more…

WASHINGTON — Playboy Enterprises International has asked a federal appeals panel to cancel the trademark registration for a Texas company that had plans to exploit the name "Femlin" in perfumes, cosmetics and clothing.
The Femlin — portmanteau of "female" and "gremlin" — is a character used on the Party Jokes page of Playboy magazine. They were created by LeRoy Neiman in 1955 when Editor Hugh Hefner decided the Party Jokes page needed a visual element.
Femlins are portrayed as mischievous black and white female fairy creatures, wearing only opera gloves, stockings and high-heel shoes.
Playboy Enterprises, in a statement to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's trial and appeal board, said that it has used the "Femlin" name in its businesses for about 60 years and that Dallas-based Epic Goods LLC has squatted on the trademark since it was registered in August.
Epic Goods, in its application with the Trademark Office, claimed it would use the mark "Femlin" for cosmetics, hair shampoos and rinses, colognes and perfumes, body oil, lip gloss and toothpaste. In addition, the company would use the mark for dresses, shirts, pajamas, shorts, hats ties and shoes.
While Epic Goods hasn't started production of its numerous lines of branded Femlin items, it has initiated a legal tussle in its defense with Playboy over the name, claiming that adult entertainment brand, which never applied for or received a trademark for "Femlin," long ago abandoned any trademark rights it may have had at one time.
"Petitioner has published cartoons that include LeRoy Neiman's drawings, but the word 'Femlin' has not been used continuously in its magazine, or as a trademark," Epic Goods attorneys said.
The only evidence of Playboy Enterprises' current use, Epic Goods said, is ownership of Femlin.com, which currently is not used but had been several years ago as an adult tube site.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's trial and appeal board has not yet ruled on Playboy Enterprises' appeal.
Officials from Playboy Enterprises did not immediately respond for XBIZ comment by post time.

Zayo's Aggressive Approach to Network Infrastructure Lands Major Client
An unnamed cloud communications provider has selected Zayo to connect nine of its data centers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Zayo will also create a point of presence (PoP) in Singapore as part of the arrangement. The announcement comes at a time when Zayo is either building or purchasing infrastructure aggressively.
Boulder, Colorado-based Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. provides communications infrastructure, colocation, cloud technology, and consulting services to customers building their own networks. The company was completing a fiber buildout in the San Antonio-Austin, Texas area. It expects to have three million net installs by the end of 2016. According to its website, Zayo already has 112,000 route miles of network in North America and Europe.
It might seem questionable at first why Zayo is taking this approach. Building network infrastructure by its nature is cost-intensive and on top of that it often takes longer to make money off the project. If Zayo relied only on buildouts upon customer request for its main revenue source, this would be true.
Where Zayo has untapped profit potential lies in the way it will use newly-built infrastructure for future customers. Once a customer provides the funds needed to undertake a buildout, Zayo can add additional fiber and offer it to new customers. This leads to greater profitability, because the cost per unit of fiber is much less even though the revenue for that unit of fiber is no different. It has one Wells Fargo analyst bullish on Zayo's outlook.
To supplement that strategy, Zayo has also bought companies that built infrastructure. This is really just another variation of the same strategy, in the sense that Zayo does not have to fund a buildout itself, yet can still benefit from the revenue it generates. When Zayo bought Viatel last November, a simple pen stroke gave Zayo a Pan-European network infrastructure, which will be used by the aforementioned unnamed cloud communications provider, and Link11.
Zayo appears to have a sound business strategy when it comes to profiting from a growing demand for network infrastructure. The biggest concerns are likely to be getting its installations built and if it has built enough infrastructure in reserve to meet what is expected to be an explosion in demand for data.
