This day in age, a five dollar app is quite a bit for not performing flawlessly. I don't mind the wait but 90 percent of the time even if you click wait, it takes just as long to get going. The theme could be improved. On the plus side, once you can get it going, it runs smooth. I would drop the cost of the app for future customers until the kinks are worked out.
Jerry Decker
Great App! Thanks JD for creating this app. Works like a champ, and saves me from having to spend the cash for a scanner. Hope you are able to support it for a long time. I'm a two-way radio professional (radio tech for TPWD) and find it frustrating that I have access to plenty of VHF P25 and analog radios, but no access to listening to the cities 800 Mhz traffic. Your app has really filled a niche for me. Can't thank you enough.

San Angelo Police Scanner Long time coming for the people of San Angelo to be able to listen to local dispatch. I wish this could be available on a windows based system. I would gladly pay a yearly subscription for such a service.

Great app for SAPD This is a great app that captures the local public service communication. Users should be aware this is a stream from a local scanner. A real hardware scanner must be EDACS talkgroup capable.
Lance Gomez
Doesnt seem to be real It doesn't function very well and it doesn't seem to be real. I could be wrong but we have a police scanner and it doesn't match anything going on with this app.

"As oil gushes, Saints coach clings to hope" Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, June 18, 2010
NEW ORLEANS — It's always something around here.
Sean Payton, the high octane Saints coach, was standing by the bar in Emeril's restaurant, holding an early copy of "Home Team."
The book, which comes out in 10 days, tells a modern story of revival, how a beleaguered city and football team inspired each other back to life after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. I helped Payton write the book.
When we got started right after the Super Bowl, one of the first things the coach said to me was, "Some of the money should go to charity."
Sure, why not?
Back in February, there was no confusion as to what that meant. The Gulf region had come a long way in the five years since the storm and flooding. But there were still some glaring pockets of need.
Before the oil spill, devastation and Katrina were still almost synonyms.
Now that the book is written and Payton's team is taking its final victory laps, Katrina feels as ancient as Noah's Great Flood. Suddenly, the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history is swirling in the same Gulf that delivered the hurricane.
"It's like a slow-motion Katrina," Payton was saying as people came into the restaurant and congratulated him. "The scale of it. The impact it will have on people's lives. It's really hard to get your mind around."
To help, Payton just took all his players on a field trip down to the Gulf. They met with fishermen and oil workers. They watched the hapless cleanup effort. They agreed to raffle a Super Bowl ring to support the struggling families.
"People in this part of the country," he said, "are very resilient. They've found inspiration. They have bounced back from previous tragedy."
Last time it was his team — and the Super Bowl win — that provided much of that inspiration.
Who will do it this time as oil still gushes?
"We'll have to do our part," said the cockiest coach in all of football. "Don't worry about that. A happy ending is something people never get tired of."

Before Christmas, I purchased a NuVision tablet that runs Windows 10 64-bit, hoping to use it to drive my Shapeoko 3XL. I was able to download and install Carbide Motion V3 build 366, but when I try to start the program, I get this Application Error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I was hoping there might be a Windows guru out there who might be able to help me get past this error.
I would uninstall it and try a new download and install it again.If that dosent fix it, try google there was tons for (windows 10 error The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000007b)" and look for the tom's hardware guide,they are really good.Hope this helps!
I have already uninstalled and re-downloaded and re-installed several times. I'll look for the "Tom's hardware guide" as you suggest.
Thank you for pointing me in that direction. A video from "Tom's Hardware" helped me find the fix! I had already downloaded and installed the 2013 Visual C++ distribution for Windows 64 bit, but the video said to get the one for 32 bit as well. I installed them both and the program now starts up! I'll just have to see if I can get it connected now and verify it works!
Thanks again!

What is the message or theme in Stephen Crane's short story "The Blue Hotel"?
- print Print
- list Cite
Stephen Crane believed in making his message explicit. According to his friend Herbert P. Williams, "He does not think to trust the imagination of any one who reads."
Trust their imagination? Why, they haven't got any! They are used to having everything detailed for them. Our imaginations are defunct for lack of use, like our noses. So whether I say a thing or suggest it, I try to put it in the most forcible way.--Stephen Crane
Crane puts his message in the mouth of the Easterner, who was present when the Swede got into a fight with Johnnie, the hotel owner's son, over a card game. The Easterner encounters the cowboy who was also present during the quarrel and the fist fight which led indirectly to the Swede getting killed by the gambler in the saloon. This is Crane's message as spoken by the Easterner to the cowboy in a cabin on the Dakota line some months after the Swede was killed and the gambler was sentenced to three years in prison for the crime.
"Fun or not," said the Easterner. "Johnnie was cheating. I saw him. I know it. I saw him. And I refused to stand up and be a man. I let the Swede fight it out alone. And you--you were simply puffing around the place and wanting to fight. And then old Scully himself! We were all in it! This poor gambler isn't even a noun. He is a kind of an adverb. Every sin is the result of a collaboration. We, five of us, have collaborated in the murder of this Swede. Usually there are from a dozen to forty women really involved in every murder, but in this case it seems to be only five men--you, I, Johnnie, old Scully; and that fool of an unfortunate gambler came merely as a culmination, the apex of a human movement, and gets all the punishment.
I have italicized "Every sin is the result of a collaboration" because that sentence capsulizes the meaning of "The Blue Hotel" and Stephen Crane's philosophy. Crane seems to believe that life is an endless chain of cause and effect, one thing leading to another. For example: the Swede was feeling cocky because he had beaten Johnnie in a fight, and this led to his assaulting the gambler, which led to the gambler killing him with a knife, which in turn led to the gambler being sent to prison. Crane's story suggests that the death of the Swede was inevitable from the time he arrived at the Blue Hotel in Fort Romper because of an unbreakable chain of cause and effect.
I would love to answer you but I do not know about the story your asking about because you did not list it.

This is awkward. Really awkward. These Washington Redskins fans and newlyweds are on their honeymoon, at Redskins training camp. This is reaaaaaaaaally awkward. I'm as big of a football fan as anyone, but training camps are not entertaining, and even if they were, this is among one of the worst honeymoon ideas I have ever heard. I hate being so critical. But, GAH!
To recap, the dude's Honeymoon Destination Rankings are:
1. Beaches of Hawaii
2. Super Bowl
3. Redskins Training Camp

SYLACAUGA, Ala. (WIAT) — Tensions continue to mount in the community after a teenager was brutally attacked after a Friday night football game.
Sylacauga Police confirm a fight stemming from that attack broke out at the school at lunch today.
We've been working all day to get more information on the assault that led 17-year-old Brian Ogle to be hospitalized after being transported by lifeflight to UAB with critical injuries. Police say it happened over a fight when a group of students wore "Black Lives Matter' t-shirts on Patriotic Day during homecoming week.
Ogle's mother tells us her son was pro-police and became a target for his views.
A large group of students cornered him in a parking lot Friday night and assaulted him, causing skull fractures and internal bleeding.
"We do have a lot of names that are coming to us that some of the kids recognize that were there. And there's more than one. There's gonna be less than 60 I'm sure. We know there are multiple assailants. And we're gonna do everything that we can to get them picked up," Sylacauga Police Chief Kelley Johnson said.
Johnson says the fight at the school Monday was minor, and the victim was not injured. It happened where there was no supervision.
We've spoken to some parents, who say they are frustrated about the school system's lack of communication with them and students. The principal of Sylacauga High School said he couldn't talk to us today.
The superintendent of the school system released the following statement:
This afternoon I was made aware of an incident on the campus of Sylacauga High School. I am investigating this incident and will take appropriate disciplinary action based on the findings. This past week we have experienced some difficult days in our schools and community. Last Wednesday security was increased at the high school and a lockdown was implemented in response to a verbal altercation among students the day before. There were no further incidents the remainder of the school week until the police were called to respond to an off-campus crime in which one of our high school students was seriously injured. This crime is still under investigation by the Sylacauga Police Department. "Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen security on campus and I will use the full measure of my authority to maintain a safe environment for our students. Those who violate school rules and create a disturbance on campus will be subject to disciplinary action, including and up to expulsion. I expect every student that attends our schools to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner that includes respect for themselves and their fellow students."

Bid and Position Management Options
Some bid and position management features
vary among PPC services. Learn the answers to the following questions about yours:
Adjusting bid prices
: How do you change bid prices for individual key-
words? What about for groups of keywords? Can you set parameters so that
your bid automatically increases or decreases based on what your competi-
tion is bidding?
Budget caps:
Can you set daily or monthly budget caps? Can you set limits
so that certain bidding or cost parameters are not exceeded?
Controlling position:
What kind of control do you have over your listing
position? As you'll recall from Chapter 4, bid prices may not be the only
factors at play in determining the position of your PPC listings.
Tracking and Reporting Options
You will probably be pleased with the detail and
flexibility of reports you can generate with whichever PPC engine you choose. Your
role in PPC reporting will be less about compiling data and more about finessing the
report parameters to get at the information you really want. Here are some things to
look for: How recent is the data that is included in reports? Is conversion tracking an
option? Is there at-a-glance information in your campaign management interface so
you won't have to run a report to see how your PPC day is going?
You'll be creating monthly reports with the following information at a minimum: top
performing terms, total campaign cost, average cost per click, click-through rate, and
total click-throughs. Be sure you know how to find this information from your PPC
service's reporting screen.
Account Services
Some PPC services will help you get up and running. YSM and
Google both offer setup assistance services for a fee. We generally don't recommend
paying for such services, and anyway, you won't need them if you follow the proce-
dures in this week's tasks. However, if you are destined to be a big spender with a PPC
service (on the order of $10,000 or more per month), you may be able to get the free
services of an account rep who can smooth over some of the bumps in the process.
Your PPC service may ask you to input your keywords and bids before you can
complete the sign-up process. You can just enter in your company name as a keyword
for now.
Tuesday: Prep Your PPC Keywords
Today you'll compile a list of keywords for your PPC starter campaign. Your top 10 or
so target keywords are a starting point, but any terms on your long list from Chapter 6
are fair game.

First one empty box…
then another! Dude and my oldest apparently can't savor their candy! 😯 It was a gift so who am I to judge, but that seems like a lot of candy to eat in less than 48 hours!
"Did you go to the house with the big candy bars?"
"Oh yeah, we went there!"
It was the talk of the town last night… and everyone was out! I didn't believe it. I assumed by "big bar" they meant a full sized candy bar… but clearly I was wrong. There was a house handing out these monster candy bars on a silver tray no less… this delighted ALL of the kids!
This craft was supposed to be for Tuesday when there is no school… but of course she couldn't wait… nor could they wait to eat it all! Oh well… what's a little extra candy at Halloween right?!

While staying during a usually handling hotel accommodations on a island during a time, she detected a abandoned Kaluakoi Resort. Its fundamental extraneous intrigued her.
"I adore photographing deserted places around a universe whenever we can," she said.
Today, a review is sitting on Molokai Ranch — a 55,575-acre property that's for sale for $260 million. The Ranch's current owner, a investment holding association GL Ltd., has run into countless issues with a island's 7,000 locals while attempting to build several projects — including the Kaluakoi Resort — given a 1990s, reports Bloomberg.

text: Hi Dobby, No you can't drive it like that. You can if you can manually lock the center diff though. It's worth fixing that BTW. The vacuum diff lock actuators aren't that expensive if that's what's broken. It may just be a vacuum leak in the lines, or a stiff/seized mechanical part of the actuator which you might be able to free up with a bit of work. Also, how long to you wait before you give up on the center diff lock? My back one comes on really quick (like a couple of seconds) but the center one takes longer, like 30 seconds sometimes. The back one is new. That's probably why. But, in any case, I suggest you go to a driveshaft shop and get another opinion before you start buying stuff and shipping it all over the place. I wouldn't trust a word that the monkey boys at the previous shop said. Driveshaft shops are used to this stuff. Quattros aren't the only cars with center support bearings. Most important, GET YOUR CAR OUT OF THAT SHOP AND DON'T LET THEM DO ANOTHER THING TO IT, NOT EVEN "PUT IT BACK TOGETHER."

If someone had to spill the beans about our most heavily guarded Pizitz secret, I'm glad it was Eater.
First, some background: Eater is a food blog that writes about food in big cities (e.g., Eater NY), and important food things happening all over the US. It has 11 million daily readers-it's kind of a big deal. We are HUGE Eater fans. For a food blogger, interacting with Eater in any way is like getting to share breathing space with a celebrity. When I met one of the Eater writers at last year's Food Media South conference, it was like meeting Julia Roberts, or whoever is your Julia Roberts.
OK so now, knowing that, check out the front page of today's Eater:
(It's right there in the middle….towards the bottom…. "Nine New Food Halls to Get Excited about in 2016")
Here's the link:
As you may recall, Mr. Foodie and I are working with Bayer Properties to seek out the best concepts and chefs for the Pizitz space. As an obsessive foodie, like many of you are, I cannot begin to tell you how incredible this has been. We basically made a wish list, and were given the liberty to go after everything on it. This has involved a high level of creativity on our part. We have pounded the pavement, in Birmingham and other cities, to do our research, solidify existing relationships, and forge new ones. These efforts have been, we are happy to say, very fruitful.
The only, ONLY bad part about this has been, we want to shout all of our Pizitz secrets from the rooftops but of course, this is highly classified intel.
So, Eater was kind enough to spill the beans about a few things that we no longer have to keep secret. We can't tell you all the gory details…those will reveal themselves in the months ahead, all in due time. But we can tell you just enough to make you scream with joy and fill you with anticipation and suspense. Basically, just enough to torture you.
Here goes:
1. Birmingham does not have any Ethiopian food. As a foodie, this is not news to you. I told Mr. Foodie that if Pizitz could bring Ethiopian food to Bham, the foodies of Bham would be so happy they would have a parade. So that was pretty high up there on our wish list. A few months ago, we took a road trip to another unnamed Southeastern city to search out the best Ethiopian food on the planet. And we found it. And it's going to be in the Pizitz building and you are going to want to eat there every night. And you will want to bring your vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free friends. That's all I can say.
Here's a photo, just to torture you even more. Note: this photo has been blurred slightly to maintain anonymity.
2. Dumplings. When the word got out that we were going to be consulting on the Pizitz building, I cannot tell you how many requests I got for a dumpling stall. Done. And they will be the best darn dumplings you have ever had.
3. Bim bim bap. We searched all over Bham for the best food entrepeneurs, some of whom you know, and some of whom you don't. They have day jobs doing something else, and at night, they are creating menus and recipes and logos and business plans. One of them is going to give you delicious, healthy Korean rice bowls with homemade kimchi and the best BBQ meats (veggie if you like), and Korean street food. We can't wait for you to meet her.
4. Have you noticed that downtown Birmingham DOES NOT HAVE ANY ICE CREAM OR DESSERT SHOP?? Have you noticed that all the ice cream shops in town seem to get their ice cream from some kind of big national brand? Now that you've realized that, do you have a hankering for homemade ice cream? I thought so. Lichita's: problem solved. And if you don't know about Lichita's, click here.
5. Domestique. Best coffee in Bham, hands down. Done.
That is all. Any questions?

Marketing Your Business with Press ReleasesBy
A press release is a communication aimed at telling the news media about something newsworthy. When you think of press releases, you probably imagine an organization or government agency holding a meeting with reporters and laying something really ground-breaking on them. But actually, even a small company can issue a press release and it doesn't have to be world news. It can simply introduce a new service or product line, or generally tell people that you're there. And the Internet allows anybody to get the word out easily.
Picking an Angle
Start by thinking of the news you want to share with the world. It can be something as simple as describing the services your company offers. Other ideas include:
– New products or services
– New partnerships with other companies
– Charity drives
– Technological innovations
– Research results
– Tie-ins with news stories
The idea is just to have some kind of angle. The angle is the 'story' of your press release and it's what makes it interesting to read.
The last idea I mentioned above is to tie your business in with a news story. This is a really effective strategy because it mentions some serious news and then relates it to your business.
For example, if you have an SEO company, you can write a press release about a new law that makes it easier to sell online. A few paragraphs down, you then say that your company offers full ecommerce solutions.
The Anatomy of a Press Release
Press releases are short. Usually, a PR is just a page long. The first paragraph tells the what, when, where, why and how. It should present the most important details. Readers will skim this and if it interests them, they'll continue down the page. Each paragraph then gives more detailed information on what the first paragraph described.
At the bottom of the PR is contact information. This is very important. It should say something like, 'For more information on such-and-such, contact (company name) at (phone number).' The idea is that if the reader is interested, they'll follow-up with you for more information.
It's also good to put a quote in your PR somewhere. This is standard practice and it gives the press release a human touch. If you're a small business owner, it can simply be a quote from you about the service you're offering.
Getting It to the Media
The traditional method was to send press releases to local media outlets in the hopes that they would publish them. This can still be effective, but there are now easier ways.
Press release directories are sites where people go to look for press releases. Many of them are free to use and some get quite a bit of traffic.
There are press release distribution services that for a fee will get your PR into the right hands. They work as a middleman or agent to help get your PRs published. Research a distribution service well before you use them to make sure they can get your PRs seen.
Finally, you can post your PR on your website or anywhere else online. You can use it as a way to attract search engine traffic. A good way to do this is to create a 'News' page for your site where you'll periodically post PRs.
The main thing is to get over the idea that you have to be Reuters. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering news. You just need an angle that's newsworthy and that ties back in to your business.

I could never to stick to just one topic, I love that my blog has Games, Food, Travel, Fashion and Lifestyle posts. It means when I get time to really analyse stuff, there is so much to look at. I do like going to blogs about one topic in particular that someone is passionate about but that is just not my style. I get so easily excited by things.

This is actually probably the one part of this proposal that *is* feasible. While encoding emoji as a single character each makes sense for a culture that already uses thousands of characters; before they existed the English-speaking software industry already had several competing "standards" emerging for encoding them as sequences of ASCII characters. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

For Canadian fans it was a strong finish to a long season as Ontario's Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing) landed on the podium in 5th with a strong second half to her race. Fellow Canuck and defending MTB Worlds champ Catharine Pendrel (Luna) finished 4th overall taking home a crystal trophy while Batty was 7th – interviews here.
On the men's side Raphael Gagne (Rocky Mountain) matched his career-best 14th World Cup result and made the top 20 overall claiming 17th following his best season ever – interview here.
Elite Women
Rain overnight made the course wet and muddy, slowing the track and making sections slippery. Through the day it gradually dried out, but riders still crashed frequently on mud-covered rocks and wet grassy descents.
Neff got her usual fast start in the women's race, with world champion Catharine Pendrel (Luna) and Langvad chasing through the start loop. As Pendrel faded back, Langvad seemed to be getting stronger and, surprisingly, Neff could not open a gap on the Danish rider. By the halfway point the pair were together at the front, and when Langvad attacked on the penultimate lap, Neff could not respond, leaving the Specialized rider to cross the line with a huge smile as she scored her first win.
Behind the lead two, Pendrel was joined by Irina Kalentyeva (Moebel Maerki), who then moved solo into third place, which she held to line. A chase group containing Maja Wloszczowska (Kross Racing), Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing), Adelheid Morath (BH-SR Suntour-KMC), Lea Davison (Specialized), Blaza Klemencic (Habitat Mountain Bike) and Eva Lechner (Colnago Sudtirol) was starting to move up, but eventually split in the last lap and a half, as riders attacked. Wloszczowska took fourth, just ahead of Batty.
"I must say I can't believe it," stated Langvad. "It felt so good out there today. Last weekend I did a race in Leadville [USA] at three thousand metres. This entire week I was filled with jet lag, I was exhausted, didn't sit much on my bike. I thought 'OK, I'll do this race for the points, for going for the overall team award'. Even yesterday I did some intensity on the course and I thought 'whoo, I'm tired'. So I started out with very low expectations. Then, all of a sudden, I felt really good. When you catch a good wave, you just have to stay with that feeling."
"You've all seen how I have been struggling the last few World Cups with crashes, lack of concentration. But, this race, I actually put it all together. I had a little bit of a mistake on the second last lap, but I kept it together. I am so happy. I am beyond words."
"The last two laps I really had to put the hammer down. I could see Jolanda was struggling and I had to put it to my advantage. But when you go over your limit, you go a little bit cross eyed, especially going into the downhill part. But still, I kept it together. I really wanted the win and the tears came into my eyes when I came to the last stretch and realized this is really going to happen. It is an amazing feeling."
While Neff and Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa (Multivan Merida) were secure in first and second for the overall standings, the remaining places were completely overturned by the results of the Final. Third placed Pendrel dropped to fourth, Davison moved up to third, and Kalentyeva bumped Batty out of fifth.
"Oh yes, this was a really tough race for me," agreed Neff. "Really hard. Tough climbing. Yeah, it really was a hard race. But I'm really happy I could take the overall. It means a lot to me and to take it two times in a row, yeah it's amazing."
For Batty landing on the podium was good preparation for the upcoming MTB Worlds in Andorra. "My form has been good and my goal is to always fight for top a five and I'm happy to achieve that today. The focus of course is the top 3 and that elusive World Cup win – and yes, I'll be ready for Andorra in 2 weeks after some training at Alp d'Huez this week," said Batty.
"I didn't quite have the punch today," said Pendrel, the defending MTB Worlds champ whofinished fourth overall in the series. "I'm looking to find the form I had a MSA and hopefully it'll be there in Andorra. I dug deep and did what I could today, and always like competing on this course."
Walter was happy with her run today despite falling back a bit to end up 33rd. "I felt good out there and had fun," said the 3x Canadian MTB Cup champ. "The support and training has been great and I'm hoping to have a solid performance at the World Championships within 2 weeks."
Elite Men
The men's race had no upsets, with Nino Schurter and his constant rival, world champion Julien Absalon (BMC) moving to the front by the second lap, along with Florian Vogel (Focus XC). Chasing just behind was Jaroslav Kulhavy (Specialized), but the Olympic champion couldn't quite close the 20 second gap and remained in fourth for the entire race.
At the front, Absalon was making an effort to set the pace so he could hit the descents first, ahead of the faster Schurter. Schurter seemed content to let him do this, as the pair pulled Vogel with them until the final lap, when a series of attacks by Absalon knocked the Focus rider off their wheels, to finish solo in third.
It was only in the final descent that Schurter showed his skills, opening a five second gap to take the win. He was partially aided by a soft tire on Absalon's bike, that forced the French rider to be more cautious in the descents to avoid crashing.
"Honestly, I didn't feel that good at the beginning," revealed Schurter, "I was struggling a bit. I was just hanging in there and tried to stay up with Julien and Vogel. Towards the end I felt better and better. I tried to stay on Julien's wheel. I knew if I could get first into the descent I could win again. It was actually a lot of drafting from my side but, yah, I feel really happy about this win here. Happy about the World [Cup overall] win also."
"It [World Cup overall] was a big goal for me this year. It started with a bit of bad luck, I always managed to get second, but now three wins in a row is amazing and a big achievement for me."
Schurter, with three seconds and three wins, had a 250 point margin on Absalon for the title. Kulhavy, with two wins, finished third and Vogel jumped from fifth to third with his placing in the final round. Mathias Fluckiger (Stoeckli Pro Team) was bumped down to fifth by Vogel.
"I was shooting for a top 20 so I'm happy with my result finishing 14th," said Gagne. "My form continues to be good and this race is a good sign for the upcoming Worlds in Andorra."
Derek Zandstra (Scott-3Rox) placed 26th today telling Pedal "I was glad to stay in front of the crashes at the beginning. I wasn't too sure about my fitness yet, but was happy on how I felt at the end."
Zandstra's teammate Cameron Jette came in 71st. "Today was a bit of a fight as I got caught up in a heavy start crash. Fortunately I had no injuries and was able to continue. I will be preparing now for the Canadian Marathon Championships in Barrie on Sep 12 and then some cyclocross," said Jette.
Leandre Bouchard remained optimistic despite a tough day in the saddle. "The legs did not show off today – I think I left them in Quebec! haha,," he quipped. "The jetlag was a bit harder than usual but I'm looking forward for the World Championships now which is the main goal."
Under 23
In the Under 23 Women's series, Jenny Rissveds (Scott-Odlo) completed an incredible clean sweep of all six events to claim the women's title, with Alessandra Keller (Strubey-Bixs) taking second overall and Lisa Rabensteiner (Focus XC Italy) jumping up to third from fifth with her third place in the final round.
Team Canada's Catherine Fleury was the top Canuck in 17th followed by teammate Frederique Trudel in 20th. Both Maghalie Rochette (Can) Luna Pro Team and reigning U23 Women's champ Haley Smith (Can) Norco Factory Team crashed out and DNF'd. Smith was the top Canadian overall in 12th with 80 points.
In the Men's Under 23 series there was a change in the leadership after the final round, with Titouan Carod (Scott Creuse Oxygene Gueret) knocking Pablo Rodriguez of Spain out of the title by finishing second to Grant Ferguson (Betch.NL Superior Brentjens) on the final stage.

Jane Tennison
In the British crime show Prime Suspect, Helen Mirren plays tough-as-nails British Detective Chief Inspector (later Detective Superintendent) Jane Tennison. Jane is one tough cookie, making her way to the top in a misogynistic, male-dominated profession. But there's more than meets the eye — throughout the series, we also see her kindness and her weaknesses, as she must battle some inner demons in her personal life as well.

Water supply and sanitation has not kept space with rapid rate of population increase in most developing countries including Nigeria. Lack of access is most prevalent among low income earners living in the peripheral of areas- slums, squatters and outskirts.
These areas, though densely populated in most cases are not covered by conventional Water supply and sanitation systems, and are often forgotten in all levels of sectoral planning as most government and External support agencies Water supply and sanitation projects are focused on residents of main urban areas, small towns and rural areas. The urban are neglected, forgotten and exploited by informal providers.
These are the issues that formed the plank of a global report released by WaterAid, this Monday. Titled, 'Sanitation and water for poor urban communities: a manifesto', the report argues that the reasons for lack of access of poor urban communities are much less an issue of scarcity of water than political prioritisation of a more equitable distribution of WASH services.
Calling on national governments to put the highest political priority on the provision of water and sanitation services to poor urban communities, WaterAid said: 'Access to safe sanitation services are a fundamental to human health and development, especially in densely populated urban areas.
With no indication that the pace of urbanisation, and subsequently the growth in poor urban areas, will slow, the international community must act collaboratively to ensure these basic human rights are afforded to poor urban communities – and it must act now.
The consequence of failure to act 'open defecation and living without access to safe drinking water. National governments and donors must therefore develop a tangible agenda, including sources of funds, for addressing the water and sanitation needs of the slum, peri-urban and small town dweller as a first step out of poverty'.
To reverse the neglect of slum-dwellers' rights to sanitation and water supply, the report calls on National Governments to develop a guiding vision statement and clear programme of action by city authorities, develop a a global 15 year programme could provide the water and sanitation needed to guarantee health and human dignity for poor urban communities, and kick-start economic growth; put safe sanitation and water for poor communities at the centre of integrated city-wide plans for urban basic services; develop and implement pre-emptive actions for small towns and cities, with adequate urban climate change preparedness plans and resilient WASH infrastructure; provide the human and administrative infrastructure to receive; use technical and material assistance for developing and implementing pro-poor plans; and establish an accurate urban baseline and improve indicators to enhance pro-poor targeting of interventions.
The report also calls on National Governments to ensure coordination of existing monitoring frameworks and collaboration between departments responsible for lands, housing, urban development and water supply and sanitation services; put the targeting of sanitation and water services to informal settlements/slums as an explicit policy commitment; ensure that slum-dwellers and squatter communities are not denied the right to WASH services because of a lack of legal landholding entitlements; and ensure that the representatives of slum communities participate in the design and implementation of sanitation and water policies.
They are also expected to mount advocacy towards ensuring that UNHABITAT focuses its attention on delivering its core function of knowledge development on pro-poor urban development and planning; leveraging and mobilising public investments and private capital for slum upgrading, shelter development and the delivery of basic services; as well as ensuring the Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG) to take up the vacant seats on UN-HABITAT's Governing Council.
The 'Sanitation and water for poor urban communities: a manifesto', also urges International donors to develop or support organisational structures capable of meeting the needs of sub-national and national governments and institutions responsible for urban services; prioritise and raise awareness of the rights of poor urban communities to water and sanitation by establishing urban policies, strategies and investment programmes that reflect their needs, improving the targeting of urban investments to slums and informal settlements; and support development and investment plans that aid the provision of urban WASH.
They are also called upon to establish urban policies, strategies and investment programmes that promote disaggregated data reporting, to improve the targeting of urban investments to slums and informal settlements and support municipal authorities' development plans and statistics, and will enhance the development of appropriate indicators to improve pro-poor targeting of interventions within urban plans; and ensure development aid for urban investments is targeted at people living in poverty
Reacting to the report, the Bread of Life Development Foundation, in a statement signed by its Project Officer, Njideka Onwunyi, said 'the WaterAid's report is very relevant to Nigeria as the issue of urban water supply and sanitation will become very critical in the coming years given the rapid rate of urbanisation. Unless major strides are made, tens of millions of Nigerians in urban areas will continue to drink water from unimproved sources with its attendant health implications and practice open defecation'.
Quoting figures released by the Word Health Organisation –Joint Monitoring Platform, the statement said: "24 million people in urban areas in Nigeria remain without access to improved sources of drinking water in 2006 and 54m people in urban areas have not access to improved sanitation facilities in 2006.
The proportion of the urban population with access to improved sources of drinking water in Nigeria decreased by 15% from 80% (5million) in 1990 to 65% (24 million) in 2006.
The decrease by 15% in 16 years is very significant at a time that the proportion of the population living in urban areas increased from 30% in 1990 to 49% in 2006. The number of people without access to improved sanitation in urban centres increased from 17 million in 1990 to 45 million in 2006."

Ingres buys pair of system integrators
Takes two to tango
Open source database firm Ingres Corporation said yesterday that it has acquired a brace of system integrators as it swoops to gain ground in the global enterprise market.
Financial terms of both deals were undisclosed but Ingres, which was spun out of CA and Garnett and Helfrich Capital in 2005, said it has swallowed up Leeds-based Luminary Solutions and Perth-based Management Information Systems (MIS).
Luminary has built Ingres-based systems for more than 20 years, and has customers on its books that include the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners and Italian kitchen appliance maker Indesit.
Australian firm MIS dishes out open source HR, payroll and asset management systems based on Ingres technologies. Its clients include government departments and port operators.
Ingres chief executive Roger Burkhart said: "By bringing these two adept firms directly into the Ingres family, we are responding to the rapid growth in worldwide customer demand for application development services from Ingres." ®

The goal is to inexpensively and automatically deduce bee behavior by analyzing the sounds made inside the hive.
It is not easy to understand what goes on inside a bee hive. Bee hives are too dark, cramped, and crowded to place cameras. Every motion of every bee – to some extent – results in a vibration in the air or on the surface of the comb. Is there anything about bee behavior that can be deduced from their induced acoustic vibrations? And if there is, can we do it on the cheap?
Speaking of cheap, it used to cost the military tens of millions to dollars for custom hardware and teams of programmers in order to calculate Fast Fourier Transforms for spectral analysis radar and sonar applications. Moore's Law, Open Source software, and cheap ($99) digital field recorders provide superior and faster tools that anybody (with a little knowledge) can use to analyze colony sounds.
Prior Art
There is a surprising list of behaviors that are claimed to be deduced from the analysis of bee sounds. I don't know yet if all of them are true but my goal is to find out. Results of acoustic analysis include:
- detect every time a bee flys out of a hive (bee counter)
- detect a sick hive and diagnose the disease
- detect when there are two or more queens in a hive
- detect when there is no queen laying eggs in the hive
- she could be dead (rolled or dropped by a clumsy beekeeper or balled by her sisters)
- she could be packing her bags (getting ready to swarm)
- detect and identify a chemical spill or spraying or the release of an airborne Weapon of Mass Destruction
I will describe each of these scenarios first. Then I will describe how to implement a system that detects each event.
The Apidictor is an electronic device that indicates when the queen is not laying eggs. This is important because there is usually only one queen in a hive to lay eggs and worker bees only last 15-38 days in summer [SAMM98]. So a hive cannot last long without a queen. This usually happens when a colony is preparing to swarm but it can be caused by the death of a queen. A queen can be dead because
- she's old, she doesn't smell like a Queen, her 50,000 daughters want her dead, and they want a younger sister to take her place
- the beekeeper rolled (crushed) her
- the beekeeper did not hold the frame she was on over the hive (dummy!) and she fell to the ground instead of the hive (and fertile queens cannot fly).
Whether it is a pending swarm or a dead queen, it is not good. And if it is a swarm, it would be really great to know ahead of time so you could prevent it. That is what the Apidector does.
The Apidictor was invented, patented, and marketed by the late Eddie F. Woods in the 1960s. He based it on the following insights into the lives of the bees:
- As bees get older, they change jobs in the hive. Nurse bees are 4-1/2 to 6 days old. There are about 4000 nurse bees in a normal colony. Half feed the brood and half feed the queen who eats several times her weight in a single day.
- When a colony prepares to swarm, the workers put the queen – who is too fat to fly – on a diet. This puts roughly 2000 nurse bees out of work and reduces the queen's egg laying. Reduced egg laying results – in a couple days – in fewer larvae to feed which puts more nurse bees out of work. These girls don't have lips so they stand around and flap their wings [Ok, I kinda made up that last part myself. Actually, they are fanning].
- The wings of young bees do not harden until the 9th day – this makes them beat their wings faster than adult bees. Wings in flight beat faster than stationary bees anchored on comb fanning with their wings. Eddie made the following base frequency estimates:
- 285 Hz – 4-1/2 day bee fanning
- 250 Hz – Adult (9+ day) bee flying
- 225 Hz – 6 day bee fanning
- 190 Hz – Adult (9+ day) bee fanning
- You can't tell the adult bees to stop flying but if you measure collective frequency at night when no flying is taking place (or inside the hive), you can detect the extent to which nurse bees are out of work by analyzing the frequency band between 225 and 285 Hz.. This indicates trouble of one form or another.
He referred to this characteristic sound as a warble. But there was another sound he describes in the patent – a hiss:
If a healthy normal colony be disturbed by, say, a blow or tap, it will immediately respond with a short sharp hiss, which soon ceases. This reaction can be evoked as many times as desired. Its presence is an indication that there is in the colony a healthy queen. A sluggish rise in hiss, with a slow fade, indicates abnormality. It has been found that by detecting and differentiating between the warble and the hiss, an indication can be obtained which renders the opening of normal colonies unnecessary.
Eddie claimed that he could predict a swarming by three weeks and the building of queen cells by 10 days. I don't know if any of this is true but it is all testable. And if it is found to be true, then it is a brilliant discovery. For more information on Eddie's invention, visit Beesource Beekeeping at http://www.beesource.com/build-it-yourself/apidictor/.

Hello, I am the Queen and I will Kill all Rivals!
If a hive is not queenright, which is beespeak for 'queenless', the worker bees grow several new queens. But if two or more queens hatch and encounter each other, they will fight to the death. This is not good because they could both die (bad for colony) and the loss of the second queen would remove any opportunity to swarm (how the super-organism reproduces). So evolution have given the queens two special sounds referred to as piping:
- The newly emerged queen gives a tooting sound. This informs the rest of the girls that the queen has arrived. She makes this sound while roaming around the colony looking to kill any other emerging virgin queens. The Toot typically lasts 5 seconds with a single long syllable followed by several short syllables. The fundamental frequencies range from 350 – 550 Hz.
- In response to the toot, another queen, still imprisoned in her plush queen cell, calls back with a quack. It has been suggested that this quack informs the colony to protect her so that she can emerge and perhaps abscond with a swarm of her own. The quack typically lasts more than 10 sec long as a series of short syllables. The fundamental frequencies range from 200 – 350 Hz.
Queens produce piping signals (roughly a G sharp) by pressing their thorax to the comb of the nest and rapidly contracting their thoracic flight muscles. Her wings are disengaged from the flight muscle while piping and so the wings move very little. By the way, this disengagement of wings from muscles is also used by heater bees to generate heat for the brood during cold nights [TAUTZ2008].
Piping is hardly a new discovery. Charles Butler wrote a treatise on bees entitled The Feminine Monarchie, shown at right (click to see a larger image) in the 1609 edition. He transcribed into musical notation the 'piping' and 'quacking' sounds produced by rival queens in a hive. He shows it in G rather than G sharp.
Now lets hear some of these quacks and toots. The recording below has several good quack from 0:00 to 0:40 and a good toot at 1:14.
This recording is provided here by permission of Morris Ostrofsky. You can visit his piping web page.
Acoustic Sensor for Beehive Monitoring
A patent by Trenton J. Brundage of Sherwood, Oregon has just been granted on March 11, 2010 (click here to read it) that claims an invention for assessing the productivity of a pollinating hive by counting bee sorties. It appears that when bees take off in flight, they 'rev their engines' so to speak. Once airborne, they 'throttle back' on the gas. In an airplane, a rev'ed engine has more revolutions of the propeller per minute. This causes the sound it makes to be higher in pitch than an engine that is 'throttled back'. Likewise, when bees [I am assuming worker bees here since they are much more numerous than drones] take off, they beat their wings at 230 to 260 beats per second but after one tenth of a second, they slow their beats to a steady state of 180 to 210 beats per second.
The sonogram shown at right is a rather idealized visualization of this take off. The parallel lines are the harmonics [What are harmonics?]. The bottom line represents the fundamental frequency – the actual number of wing beats per minute. In reality, you have multiple bees taking off at the same time as well as bee flying around and birds and lots of other things. This is shown in the sonogram below. There are somethings we can do to get rid of bird sounds and other non-bee sounds. We solve that below below.
Honey bee acoustic recording and analysis system for monitoring hive health
I've saved the most intriguing technology for last. This patent claims that honey bees produce unique acoustic signatures when they are exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of airborne toxicants (chemical and biological) and stressors such as preditory mites. The key word here is unique. A signature for ammonia is different from toluene or airborne anthrax or sarin gas or varroa mites. If true, this gives us a way to detect and recognize a potentially dangerous event within a 3 mile radius.
If I lived within three miles of any factory or plant, I would want a bee hive monitoring air quality to notify me of a dangerous release. Of course, if you were living right next to the Union Carbine pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, your bees might not even make it back. The exposure has to be sub-lethal.
So this is how the patent claims that the invention works: put a microphone in a hive, take acoustic samples, generate a sonogram [What is a sonogram?]. From multiple sonograms, generate a baseline or normalized sonogram. Then expose the hive to various airborne toxicants or diseases and generate sonograms for them. You will end up with a library of sonograms for different scenarios. Now we apply statistical discrimination to determine what frequencies and amplitudes are most important for recognizing one of our scenarios. This is the first place where this patent leaves a lot of detail out. But they claim a 99.7 percent recognition rate based on only 3 discriminant functions! That is pretty amazing.
The big question I have that is not answered in the patent: what is the physical explanation for such a wide range of unique profiles? I have written the applicant but gotten no answer. In all the examples above, there was a clear, physical explanation of why a particular sound was made. But why does naptha produce a different acoustic signature from toluene?
Click here to review the patent.
Part 1 Summary
This finishes the present discussion of the biology behind this project. In the next section, I will outline how I propose to automate the recognition of these different acoustic events.
I welcome your comments and suggestions. Please post them to the Acoustic Analysis Project stub.

We replace uncertainty with answers. Find out how by exploring the actions we take to help you or your industry.
Learn More
From investigations to cyber security, we find answers to your most critical questions every step of the way.
We bring the unknown to light by helping you manage compliance, navigate litigation, and mitigate risk relating to fraud, impropriety and security threats.
Our experts share their insights.
We're here to help.
With the New Year upon us, Kroll's experts reviewed the cyber security landscape to identify key issues we see coming or continuing in 2017. The past year presented numerous challenges in the information security realm. From big name breaches to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, all the way to allegations that the Presidential election was hacked; it seemed like there was a colossal cyber security problem every week. Will 2017 be worse? How will it look? And what can you do?
Here are some predictions of the issues we expect to occur next year and a few resolutions your business or organization should consider to help you defend your systems and data.
IoT devices can be found connected to home, public, private, and government networks. With the proliferation of these devices come vulnerabilities; as we have seen, developers don't always program with security in mind and they can easily become entry points into many environments. The widespread DDoS attack this past October demonstrated the scale and breadth of IoT security issues, and we expect these breaches will continue to evolve and grow in impact.
The ever-increasing move to cloud services is being called the great migration. We'll see more services and workloads move to cloud-based platforms. This will likely bring about security issues that haven't been seen before.
The problem of DoS/DDoS attacks is growing rather than lessening, both in frequency and in strength. With the Mirai botnet source code having been freely published this year, it will add more DDoS threats to businesses. And because of the increase in IoT devices, we may see even more disastrous levels of attacks. But there is hope, as we expect to see new anti-DDoS services popping up.
Threat actors will be smarter about which people and companies they target in order to extort as much money as possible. We will see even more cunningly crafted malicious emails as cyber criminals perform more research into their targets. As a result, law enforcement and the security industry will likely join forces on a much larger scale to aggressively detect and respond to these incidents, which may lead some malicious groups to move away from this type of attack.
Malicious actors will take control of drones sold with vulnerabilities such as open ports and/or weak authentication mechanisms. Consumers will be forced to rely on manufacturers to release software updates in a timely manner to fix these types of vulnerabilities. Exploited drones could be used to take over package deliveries, for unauthorized aerial photography and illicit surveillance, and for use in attempts to hack into the Wi-Fi networks of buildings on which they land.
The threats above and myriad other ones such as social engineering, malware, and employee mistakes highlight the need to review and strengthen your security efforts if you have not already taken steps to do so. Here are some foundational, and critically important, actions you can resolve to take in 2017.
Don't have a plan? Get one! Now! Otherwise, how will you know where you have gaps or what defenses need improvement? A good incident response plan addresses your entire organization, with the core team typically consisting of your Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Information Officer, general counsel, and technical leaders as well as human relations, public relations, and risk managers. Before a security event hits, test and drill your plan. Some key elements of the plan should be determined in advance: agree on team members' full responsibilities and roles to minimize confusion; outline how pertinent information will be gathered and how incidents will be escalated; and establish clear internal and external communication protocols. Lastly, understand that your organization continuously evolves just like the threats in the market. Prepare as best you can – even for the unknown – and stand ready to implement your plan.
See more on Incident Response planning here.
Even the most conscientious IT teams can get behind on critical security steps. Assess your current status and take action on addressing gaps. A few recommended actions:
From basic policies such as keeping employees from reusing passwords to extensive training on threats that often target unsuspecting employees (e.g., social engineering scams, emails with ransomware), prepare your teams to protect your organization's precious data assets and information through extensive and regular training. Often, we still find simple employee errors or duping at the root of security incidents, and cyber criminals are now aware of who in an organization likely has access to valuable data. We have seen cases where people in certain roles are specifically targeted with scams. You cannot afford to cut corners on committing the resources and time to making sure your employees are aware of how they can accidentally expose information and how they can defend against falling prey to various attack methods.
