2015 Hyundai Sonata Previewed
Hyundai has released a lone image of its 2015 Sonata, giving a sneak preview of what to expect from the next-generation sedan.
The 2015 Hyundai Sonata will make its official debut in Korea later this month before debuting in major markets later this year. The all-new sedan will be the Korean automaker's second model to adapt "Fluidic Sculpture 2.0," that features a more complete and refined premium look. The new Genesis sedan, which debuted last November, was the first vehicle to feature the revamped design language. According to Hyundai, the design keyword for the 2015 Sonata is "Inner Force" which reflects the Sonata "reborn with an evolved aesthetic force that stems from purpose and sophistication."
SEE ALSO: 2015 Hyundai Sonata to Debut at 2014 NY Auto Show
Expect the 2015 Hyundai Sonata to pack all new technologies designed to enhance Human Machine Interface (HMI) qualities, which lets drivers intuitively recognize their vehicle's controls to make them more convenient and effective. In addition, the new Sonata's platform consists of 51 percent Advanced-High Strength Steel (AHSS), which is twice as rigid than regular steel while being 10 percent lighter. The previous Sonata was only 21-percent AHSS.
Check back for more information on the 2015 Hyundai Sonata when it's officially unveiled in Korea later this month.
"Since the first Sonata was introduced in 1985, Hyundai Motor's symbolic midsize sedan has contributed hugely to the company's rapid growth and brand enhancement," said Jeong Gil Park, head of the Hyundai Motor Group's Engineering Design Division. "The all-new Sonata has evolved again, based on Hyundai Motor's world-class technologies, and it will play an important role in further facilitating our shift from quantitative growth to qualitative growth."

Before your business signs an agreement for a cloud service, you should consider the service level provisions included in it. This is to ensure you receive a service which matches your expectations and business needs. This article will explain what you need to know about service levels when signing up for a cloud-based service.
Types of Cloud Services
There are a number of cloud services which your business may sign up for. Specifically, it can be a Software as a Service (SaaS), where your business accesses software online rather than it being installed locally on your computer. Popular business SaaS examples include GoToMeeting, WebEx and Zendesk.
Alternatively, it can be a Platform as a Service (PaaS) which allows you to use it to develop or run other applications online rather than locally on your computer. PaaS examples include AppFog and Google App Engine.
In the cloud computing space, there is also Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). IaaS is the backbone of cloud computing in that it provides the infrastructure upon which platforms and software can run. The infrastructure includes the hardware, which is provided and managed by a third party and shared by many users. It offers data storage and the processing power for platform and software services. Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure are well known IaaS offerings, and are used by many SaaS and PaaS providers.
Service Levels Are Key to Your Business' Experience
No matter whether it is a SaaS, PaaS or IaaS agreement, service levels will be key to your business' use of the service. There are a few key things to keep in mind when reviewing the service levels in your agreement. An IT lawyer can help you understand and negotiate these terms.
However, to give you an overview, you should look at:
- what promises are made;
- how they are measured;
- what the effect of failing to meet these promised levels is; and
- how the force majeure clause may come into play.
What Service Levels Are They Promising?
The standard service levels provided for in your agreement with the cloud service provider will likely be levels which they are confident they can meet. This means that the levels may be lower than your ideal.
A service level roughly translates into a warranty of availability. For example, they might warrant 98% availability. This means you should be able to access the service 98% of the time. The ideal is, of course, 100%, but this may be unrealistic. In negotiating service levels, you need to consider how critical the service is to your business. If your business cannot operate without this cloud service, you may wish to offer a higher fee in return for a higher service level guarantee.
Another factor when looking at service levels is the response and resolution time. If something does go wrong and you need assistance, the agreement should set out how you can contact the service provider. It should also include how long it will take them to respond to, and resolve, the problem. Often, this is broken down, with varying response times depending on the seriousness of the issue.
Sometimes you will have an allocated amount of time you can use per month to contact the service provider. Overall, it is important to consider what amount of time is necessary for your business to run. You should make sure your agreement with the service provider reflects this.
Service Levels Should Be Measurable
Once you have favourable service levels in the agreement, you should ensure they are measurable. If the agreement provides varying response times for requests of different levels of seriousness, make sure it also specifies what kinds of issues are the most serious, and, therefore, urgent, and which are the least serious. For example, the most serious issue may be a data breach. The least serious may be a request for further customisation of the service.
If the agreed response time is within one business day, you want the agreement to be specific as to when that timeframe begins. Is it when you submit the request or when the provider reads it? Will the provider respond to the request in this timeframe or will they aim to resolve it by then?
These are all key questions. You should be sure of the answers to them from the start to minimise the risk of disputes.
If the Service Provider Fails to Meet the Agreed Service Levels
Now you have an agreement with the cloud service provider with set service levels. But what happens if the provider fails to meet the promised service level targets?
It is common for the service provider to set out some form of compensation in the agreement. This comes into play if they fail to deliver on their service level. This could be credits towards future service level time, or a discount on your subscription fee. You should consider the following when drafting your agreement:
- how are you notified of the right to compensation? For example, an email notification with the details;
- what is the compensation? For example, a discount;
- when is it delivered? For example, the following month; and
- how is it delivered? For example, by deducting a lower monthly fee at the time of your direct debit.
Usually, the service provider will offer something in return for not delivering on the promised levels. However, the agreement will likely say that this is not grounds for a refund of your payments to date.
If you are on a fixed term agreement, such as a one-year subscription, failing to meet agreed service levels will likely be expressly excluded from being grounds to terminate the agreement early (or without giving the agreed notice). The alternative is to negotiate specific terms into the agreement from the start, which will give rise to the right to terminate.
The service provider will likely have limited liability for any monetary loss suffered. They will pay you in line with the agreement. This will probably mean they pay you a lot less than the loss you suffer. Accordingly, you should always carefully check your agreement before signing so you know your entitlements.
Watch Out for Force Majeure
When looking over your agreement and considering the service levels covered by your cloud service provider, you should take into account any force majeure clause. The effect of a force majeure clause is to ensure the service provider is not liable if there are unforeseen circumstances that mean they cannot meet the terms of the agreement, including the service levels.
Force majeure captures events such as natural disasters, for example, a flood which affects their servers. It could also be human-made, such as a war affecting the service provider's employees or a rogue hacker who breaches and temporarily takes down the network. The concept behind this clause is that it is out of the service provider's reasonable control. This means that, even if you have already paid for the service, you cannot get compensation in these situations.
While this clause is not favourable to you, it is quite standard in legal agreements. Therefore, it may be hard to negotiate out of the agreement. At a minimum, it is good to be aware of where you stand under this clause so that you can be ready or negotiate increased obligations of the cloud service provider to minimise the possibility and impact of a force majeure.
Key Takeaways
When your business signs an agreement with a cloud service provider, whether it be a SaaS, PaaS or IaaS, it is essential to be aware of the service levels which the provider agrees to provide. These will impact your experience of the service.

Do Your Responses to Your Circumstances Matter?/
As we continue down this path of change, it is now that we must pay attention to the ways we react to our circumstances. In this chapter of Unstuck: A Nine-Step Journey to Change that Lasts, we take our first pivot inward in a "critical" way. But before we do, remember where we have traveled so far.
Step 1: You are in Christ and secure in His love.
Step 2: The Holy Spirit is already at work in you.
Step 3: Change will happen along the contours of your personality and emotional life.
Step 4: You have given careful and appropriate attention to your shaping influences.
Now, as you stand at the junction, how will you respond to your circumstances? This step is critical to understanding where you are growing as well as where you need to grow! As we saw in step 2, the Spirit is presently at work in you so you will see responses that are pleasing to God and helpful to others. But you will also see areas where change needs to happen. So, how do you know what to look for? What are good responses and what are responses that indicate change needs to happen? There are many places in Scripture to find answers to these questions. The 10 commandments is one place. The one I choose to highlight in my book is the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:19-25.
Unwise Responses: Life According to the Sinful Nature
The acts of the [sinful nature] are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (v 19-21)
• False worship. "Idolatry and witchcraft": This includes any form of worship that is not directed towards the Christian God; Father, Son and Spirit. We are prone to worship (essentially, "give worth to") many other things instead—from our relationships to our reputation. Notice that false worship leads to a host of behaviors that are ungodly.
• A lack of self-control over bodily pleasures like sex, food and drink. "Sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery … drunkenness, orgies, and the like": This includes any sexual activity between unmarried people (real or imagined), unnatural sexual practices and relationships, and uncontrolled sexuality.
• Destructive attitudes: "Hatred … jealousy… selfish ambition … envy.".
• Destructive results of destructive attitudes with others: "Discord … fits of rage … dissensions, factions."
Paul says that anyone who practices these things without any repentance is not a Christian—they "will not inherit the kingdom of God" (v 21). But remember, this list is being written to a group of believers. That must mean that Christians can be tempted to live in these ways. Because we are not made completely perfect when we become Christians, we will see ongoing warfare and struggle in these areas; and in some areas more than others, due to the life-shaping experiences that we discussed in chapter 4. One Christian may be more prone to struggle in the area of sexual purity, while another may be more prone to struggle with an attitude of envy.
Nonetheless, this first list highlights those things that are contrary to change.
Wise Responses: Life According to the Spirit
In the next list, Paul shows us the character qualities that should be developing in us as a consequence of our new relationship with God:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Paul lists three sets of three qualities, which encompass all of life; your relationship with God, others and yourself. Notice how they are contrasted to the list of sinful responses listed above.
Your Attitude Toward God: True Worship
Love: for God in light of all he has done for you in Christ.
Joy: a delight in God for who he is, not just for what he has to offer.
Peace: you have peace with God, and confidence and rest in his wisdom and sovereignty.
Your Attitude Towards Others: Love for Others
Forbearance: patience with others when they sin against you or persecute you.
Kindness: a general disposition of humility and encouragement towards others.
Goodness: showing God's love to others in word and deed.
Your Personal Integrity: Self-Control
Faithfulness: to be utterly reliable and true to your word.
Gentleness: being humble in your own self-assessment rather than self-righteous.
Self-control: expressed in faithfulness and gentleness, rather than being carried along by your impulses.
These two lists could not be any more different! And God desires for every one of his children to grow this fruit, because these godly responses reflect his own character. This is precisely what the Holy Spirit wants to do in your life. Amazing!
And as you look down that list, isn't that what you want too? Wouldn't it be wonderful to always live like that? Scripture paints a picture of godly living in order to spur you on to change. You can find similar comparisons between the "old" lifestyle and the "new" lifestyle in passages like Colossians 3 v 5-17, Ephesians 4 v 17-32 and James 3 v 13-18.

Sister Saveetha. I had read your previous posts where you really needed help. There is very little any one of us could do other than do pray for you. Happy that Baba blessed you and you are out of trouble.

I want to say one thing, I do not belive that "Baba will grant us certain wish only after he tests our Patience and faith. Baba also prays and mutters our names as he Loves and cares for us. It's our Past Karmas that have to fade away until then Baba will protect us from the worst situations. Baba himself said even he cannot go against the nature of Law and even he had to respect the Law. Thus my belief is that "Baba will always wish good for us" but truely said we have to keep praying him with utmost faith and patience and Love.

Bow to the Holy Feet of Shri Parabrahma Sai Nath.

We learned today that Dr. Michael Lemole, pictured below, the chief of neurosurgery at the University of Arizona's Medical Center in Tucson, who has been treating Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, pictured at right, since Saturday's shooting, is the son of Palm Beachers.
His parents, Gerald and Emily Jane Lemole, who are from the Philadelphia area, have been winter residents for many years, and Dr. Lemole has been a regular visitor to the island since he was a kid.
Gerald Lemole, a retired cardiac surgeon, reported that his son was on the golf course Saturday when he got the call about the shooting and hightailed it to the hospital to get to work on Giffords as quickly as possible.
Since Saturday, Michael Lemole has been giving regular press briefings on the congresswoman's condition, which have been broadcast on all the major cable and network news channels the past few days.

Well as the sunshine is blazing and the rainbow flags are being dusted off, it must mean we are entering the season of Pride celebrations across the country. Saturday 7 July will see members of the
British Veterinary Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Association (BVLGBT+) march at London Pride. It will be the third year the association has attended such a landmark event and this year promises to be the best so far.
Year on year our membership grows, and so too our presence at Pride events up and down the country. The association, which was set up in 2016, has made huge progress in developing a strong voice for LGBT members of the profession. This includes a fantastic student network which
provides support and guidance from members first days of university right through to their professional careers. The association is making significant headway amongst the profession, and importantly employers, to raise awareness of equality and diversity within
the workplace.
We are hopeful that shortly we will see several veterinary practices taking their first steps towards becoming
'Diversity Champions' in association with Stonewall'. This will be a momentous achievement and will set the benchmark for other practices to follow. We are all too painfully aware of the current issues facing the profession and the need for universal inclusion, support and compassion. One of our most important ambitions is to ensure that both students and professionals are able to work in a safe and accepting environment, the associations work so far and its future
plans will no doubt achieve this.
This year saw our first members' weekend. We not only held our AGM but also organised some great workshops for members. These workshops promoted discussion amongst the group as well as teaching us techniques to help take care of both our mental and physical wellbeing.
I joined the association and its committee in 2016, initially as Small Animal rep, then Welfare rep and am now currently the Vice-President. I am delighted to be part of such an amazing association and am very excited for our future. I have been fortunate throughout
my career to work as an openly gay vet without encountering discrimination but am all too aware of others that haven't been so lucky. It is vital our work endures and we continue to raise awareness across all areas of the profession.
As always, we are incredibly grateful for the support given to us from the BVA and look forward once again to their hospitality prior to the march in July.
I look forward to joining other members of the association on Saturday 7 July. We will march together for ourselves but most importantly for those members of the veterinary LGBT community that cannot.

text: The Blancmange 67 Posted August 31, 2010 If I go out with one of my younger children, I will outweigh him or her by over 100 pounds and have the same problem that you describe. I have a 16' Wenonah Adirondack, and the solution in that boat is to turn it around, i.e. the bow paddler is actually facing backward in the stern seat and I am sitting backward in the bow seat. It works in this boat because there is no thwart immediately behind the bow seat. The same cannot be said of all boats. I agree with the advice to avoid the discout store plastic boats. I happen to see one of these recently on a rack at a store, a Water Quest, and they had the boat resting with right-side-up on a rack with two bars. The contact spot at each bar caused the hull of the boat to "oil-can" a good 3 inches. (Incidentally, a canoe should never be stored on a rack this way - rest it on the gunwales). You are much better off watching paddling.net, Craigslist or eBay for a good used boat.(This message has been edited by the blancmange) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PARIS (CBS.MW) -- France's government and central bank dropped hints Wednesday that they may intervene in Banque Nationale de Paris's surprising takeover bid for two competitors . According to the Financial Times, the joint move coincided with strong opposition from the two target banks, Paribas and Societe Generale. Paribas and Societe Generale had previously agreed to a merger with each other. The finance ministry, in an unusual move, issued a joint statement with the Bank of Japan hinting that the stakes were so high that they may intervene in the "national interest." Financial Times
Reliant Energy takeover heralds focus on Europe
LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Reliant Energy Wednesday agreed to take over Holland's Energie Produktie Bedrijf for $2.4 billion in the first takeover of a continental European electricity unit by a U.S. firm.

Those who first encounter Professor Rajiv Gandhi, with his steadfast composure and characteristic solid-colored polos, may find him simple and quiet. However, Rajiv has a hidden energy - one that allows him to memorize all students' names across 200-person classes and one that materializes as he teaches Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (CIS 160) and Algorithms and Data Structures (CIS 121) at the University of Pennsylvania. We sat down with Professor Gandhi to learn more about his childhood, his path to academia, his advice to students, and more.
We asked, "Rajiv, if you didn't go down the computer science path, what do you think you'd be doing?"
"Table tennis."
Yes, Rajiv Gandhi was a table tennis enthusiast in his childhood days. In fact, with hard work and dedication, Rajiv ranked 6th nationally at the age of 14. He practiced hours each day and even inspired others in his town to be competitively involved with the sport. He added,
"I wanted to help other players achieve success in table tennis. When I was young and started playing, there was no one in my vicinity playing table tennis, but once I started, about 10 to 12 kids in my immediate locality started playing. I would say that I had a small part to play in inspiring them to take up the sport."
A drive to help others is a common theme we see throughout our conversation with Professor Gandhi; it purposes his strong work ethic. Although he was obsessed with the sport, Rajiv's parents encouraged him to focus on his academics; eventually, he had to quit.
Rajiv then applied his strong work ethic to academics. After completing his bachelor's in India, he came to the United States, completed a master's in computer networking, and then worked at Qualcomm. Rajiv mentioned, "it became very clear after being in industry that I wanted to go into academia." Naturally, we questioned what initially drew Rajiv to computer science, to a Ph.D. in the field, and eventually to instruction. His answer caught us a bit off-guard:
"You see, my life was, in a way, simple. I used to envy people like you in America who had so many choices in life. I didn't have many choices. I was told 'You have to become an engineer.' If you've seen the movie Three Idiots, I was one of those - whose life was scripted. I was told 'Hey, you have to be an engineer. Then you have to go to the U.S., get a masters degree' and so forth. But, it worked out well for me because I'm not the kind of person that thinks too much. 'Oh do I like this? Do I not like this? Is this for me?' Those questions never came to me."
Professor Gandhi's intense focus, work ethic, and perseverance allow him to excel in any endeavor. Whether it's playing table tennis or engaging students in complex mathematical proofs, he's someone who takes the cards he's dealt and plays his absolute best game. We were still curious - how did Rajiv's philosophy guide his passion for studying computer science?
"I came into the master's program with zero computer science knowledge. Imagine, I was a master's student sitting with 17-year olds in introductory computer science courses; I had a tough time with the subjects I teach now - algorithms, proofs, and induction. Then, I started my job at Qualcomm, who, at the time, offered opportunities for employees to take courses at UCSD. Having completed my formal education, I wanted to use this opportunity to go back to school and fill some holes in my knowledge. I used to study because I wanted to get an A. However, at UCSD, I took courses purely for the sake of learning. Then, it hit me: all this time, I should have studied for the love of learning, not for the grades. With this mindset, I never lost an A grade. I felt terrible about myself! I wanted to at least have one degree where I could be satisfied - and that was my Ph.D. I did my Ph.D. in computer science because that was my background from my master's. Here, I realized that I loved theory. "
Rajiv's approach to learning focuses on an intrinsic desire to learn the subject matter over focusing on the end grade. It's something most of us have heard at one point or another, but he finally took the advice to heart. His Ph.D. was simply a way for him to act on a new motivation. Naturally, we next asked Rajiv, "What other advice do you have for Penn students regarding how to make the most out of their college experience?" He responded,
"Stop making comparisons between yourself and others. There will always be people who are doing amazing things. You need to focus on what your strengths are, what you can learn from others, and, most importantly, doing your best… Keep in mind, some of the most successful people were not necessarily 4.0's. Some of the most successful people had very average transcripts. So I don't believe that academic performance is an accurate barometer for success."
Following this advice may help to foster a more collaborative learning environment on Penn's campus. It boils down to two definitions of success: being the best possible or simply better than the rest. Intent on hearing Rajiv's definition of success, we asked him how he thought Penn students should define success.
"I think success is what one decides for one's self. For me, I consider my students' success as my success. So my goals and my students' goals are very aligned. Now, that is also wonderful for the students because they know they have someone who works in their interests. People's perspectives are different. I think success is defined differently for each person. It is very easy to get caught up when you are at Penn and you see people getting jobs at well-known companies. You may think, "That is success", and then try to chase after someone else's achievements. However, I believe it is very important for each of us to define success individually for ourselves.
Stop fearing failure. Stop comparing yourself to others. Take risks and succeed in your own way."
Rajiv's emphasis on individually defining what success means is a valuable suggestion. Many students on Penn's campus speak of Penn's pre-professional culture, which may proliferate forms of unhealthy competition and generalizes what it means to be successful. By understanding what your goals and aspirations are, you will be able to better enjoy your college and post-college years sans the critical comparison.

Today, I'm featuring Johnson's Head-to-Toe Baby Wash that I've found works on removing foundation, eye makeup - even stubborn mascara! It's gentle on my skin and doesn't strip away moisture from my skin. It doesn't have anything targeted to treat acne, but that's okay - I simply dissolve 2 tablets of aspirin and use that as an exfoliator that also treats acne.
|Click on the picture to link to Johnson's Baby website.
I do want to compare ingredients though. Below are the ingredients for the baby wash:
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, PEG-150 Distearate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Chloride, Polyquaternium-10, Fragrance, Quaternium-15, Citric Acid
And now, below are the ingredients for the Purpose cleanser:
Water , PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate , Sodium Laureth Sulfate , Cocamidopropyl Betaine , PEG-150 Distearate , Sodium Lauroampho PG-Acetate Phosphate , Fragrance , Quaternium-15 , Tetrasodium EDTASo, to my untrained alchemist mind, these are almost the same thing! I forgot if I mentioned the ingredients in my Purpose review, but you can read my thoughts on the Purpose cleanser here.

Flowers and bright colors aren't the only way to transform your Pepper Pike, OH, backyard. Whether you're looking to install a new garden or simply add several plants to your outdoor living space, landscape companies can help you with your greenery options.
There are multiple reasons to consider adding more green plants to your yard. Greenery could introduce a stronger tie to nature if you have recently brought in new hardscape elements. What's more, green plants are soothing and can have a calming effect (especially for our eyes).
Now, we can move on to some basic tips for choosing greenery. With the following guidelines and the help of landscaping companies, you can create a green oasis right in the comfort of your outdoors.
Choose Resistance over the Looks
The toughest aspect of adding greenery involves the many decisions you'll need to make when considering the large variety of plants, shrubs, and trees available. The common mistake that homeowners make is basing their choice solely on which plants look best at first glance.
Related: How Landscaping Companies Can Create an Outdoor Living Space That Best Complements Your Home and Lifestyle in Hudson, OH
However, there is one much more important factor that should determine your selection—your hardiness zone. As the seasons change one after another, you would want plants and trees that are strong enough to keep up with the climate in Pepper Pike, OH, and stay healthy. Choose greenery that is suitable for zone 6a, such as Arborvitae (Thuja), Juniper shrubs, and Umbrella pine trees.
Level of Commitment
All plants require a certain level of care and maintenance, while some require more care than others. For example, low-maintenance shrubs can be a great way to add green without committing to a higher level of care.
All of these considerations can be left up a professional who can discuss your priorities and vision of your landscape. A schedule can be put in place to provide ongoing care of your trees, plants, and lawn so that you'll have an always-neat and beautiful backyard to show off to your guests.
What About Style?
The last thing to think about is the style you would want to create with greenery. If you're a romantic soul, you might want to include Weigela in your backyard and, of course, trees. They will help create a more private atmosphere while at the same time better defining your space. They could also give you an excuse for hanging tree lights, to create a certain ambiance on warm evenings.
For a neat and sophisticated backyard, you could choose boxwood hedges or medium-height shrubs. These are also used for emphasizing borders in backyards and to create interest. As for a more "casual" look, consider mixing plants of different heights. This can brighten up space, wake up your creativity, and create a laid-back atmosphere.
There is a wide range of styles and combinations available when you want to add greenery to your garden or backyard, as you explore having your outdoor space look more buoyant and rich. Selecting the right greenery is crucial for achieving this effect.

BACnet Paves the Way to CO2 Neutrality
Airport Conference on smart buildings at airports with 130 participants
Dortmund, November 27th, 2018. – For European airports, BACnet (ISO 16484-5) is a welcome communication standard that is supporting them on their path towards CO2 neutrality. This was the conclusion drawn at the end of the first BACnet Airport Conference hosted by the BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) and held in Frankfurt Airport from 27th to 28th of September. More than 130 representatives of European airports, planners and experts for BACnet applications came to design the system integration in airport buildings. During the two days there were a number of lively discussions with many different subjects being touched on.
The participants were amazed by the Information Security Hub (ISH) at Munich Airport, by the functional BACnet diversity in the future Terminal 3 of Frankfurt Airport and by the exemplary BACnet solutions at the airports in Rome, Paris and Manchester. They were impressed by the enormous possibilities of the open standard. "Every major airport is a smart city with a huge energy efficiency potential in existing buildings and new buildings, which we can also raise with the help of BACnet," summarized BIG-EU President Klaus Wächter (Siemens).
The risks of system integration were also addressed. "Come to Munich Airport and we'll test the cyber security of your equipment," Munich Airport IT Manager Marc Lindike spontaneously invited the participants. The enthusiasm of the BACnet users and BIG-EU members in response to this offer led to the relocation of the 13th European BACnet Plugfest to Munich. It will now take place from May 22th – 24th, 2019 in the ultramodern Competence Center for Cyber Defence at Munich Airport.
The conference itself was opened by Rolf Riemenschneider, Head of IoT Sector in the European Commission, and H. Michael Newman, inventor of the BACnet standard. The essential role of BACnet for current and future Fraport construction projects was presented by Dr. Ulrich Kipper, who heads Fraport AG's central Infrastructure Management.
Airports Rely on BACnet
This was followed by an agile discussion on the special challenges facing airport buildings. The presentations focused on the resilient digitization of infrastructure, artificial intelligence for smart buildings, the BACnet operator workstation at Frankfurt Airport as the basis for energy savings and the integration of weather forecasts – and, time and again, on sustainability and energy management. Helsinki Airport, as Mikko Viinikainen, Head of Sustainability and Environment at Finavia told the participants, is already CO2-neutral. Many more airports will follow in the next ten years and will be relying on BACnet in their buildings to help achieve this.
With the "Indoor Mobility Conference" from September 26th to 27th, 2019 in Frankfurt am Main, the BIG-EU is continuing its approach to specific application cases. The focus will be on system integration in urban multi-purpose buildings. The integration of elevators, escalators, automatic doors, people recording and navigation systems will also be of particular importance.

WASHINGTON — This is not your father's school project.
Students at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School in D.C. are developing a lock that could be used in the event of an active shooter making entry into the school.
"It's unfortunate, but I believe it is coming to this," says Anita Berger, the principal.
The lock, which students call Dead Stop, slides over the "V" shaped hinge of the door.
Should an intruder case the hallways, teachers or students could lock themselves inside the classroom.
"We were inspired by the shooting in Newtown, Conn. because the shooter went inside the school and shot a bunch of little kids," says Anjreyev Harvey.
About four students on the robotics team started working on the project last year. Now, about eight meet together on Thursdays.
"Although we have a metal detector, I still feel as though school is not safe," says Deonte Antrum. "With this device that we created, I think it will help the shooter from entering the classroom, even though they have such a weapon on them."
Their efforts have earned a grant from the Lemelson-MIT Program. It awards 15 teams of high school students up to $10,000 each in grant funding as part of the InvenTeam initiative, according to a news release.
But the student behind the design isn't satisfied with the prototype.
"There are a lot of flaws," Mark Miranda says.
His original design used PVC pipe to grip the door's hinge. A nail kept it in place.
But Miranda observed the pipe is difficult to slide on the hinge, and the nail bends when someone forcefully attempts to open the door.
His next design involves constructing a steel clamp, which would automatically lock when closed. Miranda says this could be attached much quicker and provide a greater hold.
Berger is proud of her students' drive, even if the impetus for their idea is unsettling.
"In my opinion kids should be thinking about other things like what college they want to attend, but the data is supporting that it's really coming to this," Berger says.

The John Innes Foundation supports the Rotation PhD programme, at the John Innes Centre, The Sainsbury Laboratory and Earlham Institute.
This programme is renowned for its academic excellence and groundbreaking research.
The programme attracts elite candidates from around the world and offers fully funded four year PhD studentships with enhanced stipends.
Students recruited onto this programme pursue three short research rotations during their first year, with the aim of enhancing their research training, before selecting a supervisor and a topic for their main research project.
Students benefit from experience of a wide range of experimental approaches and research environments, as well as the empowerment of student choice in the selection of both research topics and supervisors.
Example achievements by Rotation PhD alumni
Frank Sainsbury
Frank joined the Rotation Programme in 2004, having completed his first degree at the University of Sydney, Australia.
The impact of Frank's research thesis has been dramatic. He developed a non-replicating virus-derived vector that provides high-level protein production in plants. The new CPMV-HT expression system has been adopted worldwide for the rapid production of high-value protein components. Examples of important applications include the safe development of animal vaccines and the production of antibodies for therapeutic purposes.
Frank was awarded the 2009 John Innes Foundation Student Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research in recognition of his studies in the laboratory of his PhD supervisor, Professor George Lomonossoff. They both won the BBSRC Innovator of the Year Award in 2012. Their technology led to the creation of Leaf Expression Systems in 2017.
He took up a post-doctoral position at the University of Laval, Canada, where he continued his studies on the production of high-value proteins in plants.
He then returned to Australia as a University of Queensland ARC Discovery Early Career Research Awardee, developing virus-like particles (VLPs) into more efficacious vaccines and novel therapeutics.
Frank said: "I really enjoyed my PhD studentship at the John Innes Centre because I was given the opportunity to choose the direction of my studies through the rotation student programme and was provided with the most fantastic research support and facilities."
Yilliang Ding
Yiliang Ding joined the Rotation PhD Programme in 2005 after graduating in Plant Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China.
She did her main research project with Giles Oldroyd on how plants form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form root nodules.
Plants use a variety of signalling molecules to enable them to coordinate every aspect of their growth and development. Symbiotic relationships require coordination in order for both organisms to benefit from their close association.
Yiliang established how the plant hormone, abscisic acid, coordinates the regulation of nodulation via the plant and bacterial signalling molecules cytokinin and Nod-factor, respectively. This work was published in Plant Cell in 2008.
Yiliang took the courageous step to work in a completely different area of research while at the Pennsylvania State University in USA. Her pioneering work on deciphering genome-wide RNA structure in plants was published in Nature in 2014.
Yiliang was the first former Rotation student to return to the John Innes Centre as a Project Leader. She has been awarded a David Phillips Fellowship and an ERC starting grant.

Survey: Stress Levels of Microaggression on Black Women
Dr. Jioni Lewis, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is conducting a survey on Black women asking them "how stressed they feel when someone comments on their butt, hips, or thighs, perceives them as strong or angry, or imitates a black female dialect."
Your perfect partner could be online right now...
What are you looking for?
The survey begins with the phrase:"Based on my experiences as a Black woman,"
Someone accused me of being angry when I was speaking in a calm manner
I have been told that I am too independent
Someone has made me feel unattractive because I am a Black woman
Those participating in the survey are supposed to select one of six options - between 'NEVER' to 'ONCE A WEEK OR MORE'. And for every statement there is a 'Stress Appraisal' that the event may have sparked, which also has six frequency options between 'THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME' to 'EXTREMELY STRESSFUL'.
Below are some more statements on the survey:
In talking with others, someone has told me to calm down
Someone has made a sexually inappropriate comment about my butt, hips, or thighs
I have been perceived to be an 'angry black woman' " are all statements on the first page of the survey.
I have received negative comments about my hair when I wear it in a natural hairstyle
I have felt excluded from networking opportunities by White co-workers
Someone perceived me to be sexually promiscuous (sexually loose)
Other statements also ask the participants if someone has ever imitated the 'perceived' black woman's talk with citations like "g-i-r-l-f-r-i-e-n-d"; just because one is black, people expect one to be a strong woman or have a specific body figure.
One of the sections also asked the survey participants how they coped with stress emanating from racism or sexism. The copying mechanisms listed include drugs or alcohol use, to making jokes out of the situations. The survey also includes a series of questions exclusive to being a 'black woman', with seven choices on an agreement-disagreement scale. Here are some of the statements:
My destiny is tied to the destiny of other Black women
I have a strong sense of belonging to Black women
A couple of questions were in relation to how the society perceives black women: Are black women "more ineffective" that women of other races? Are they "respected by the broader society." There is also a question on sexual orientation "heterosexual," "lesbian," "bisexual," "queer," "questioning," "agender," and a blank for sexual orientation that isn't listed.
There is also a make up question with about 14 skin tones to choose from: "If you were to purchase foundation (make-up) for your face, which one of the following colors would most closely match your skin complexion? Please pick the letter that corresponds to the color that best matches the foundation color of your choice."
The survey is 139 questions in length and participants who complete it will be entered to win one out of three $100 gift cards. To participate in the survey, CLICK HERE

What happens when you get a smear test? A step-by-step guide to cervical screening
When women in Ireland reach a certain age, they'll find a very important letter in the post box – an invitation to their first smear test.
The CervicalCheck program offers free screening for women between 25 and 60, and while younger women may feel nervous or uncomfortable, experts urge women to have regular smear tests once they turn 25.
We spoke to Dr Gráinne Flannelly, clinical director of CervicalCheck, about what to expect from your first smear test.
Finding a smear taker
Once you receive an invitation letter, you can search on cervicalcheck.ie to find a smear taker in your area – there are over 4,500 nationwide. You don't have to go to your GP, you can simply make an appointment once you are eligible.
Before the smear test
When you arrive at the clinic, you'll have a chat with the smear taker, and you can let them know if you're feeling nervous.
Then you'll be left alone for a few minutes to remove your clothes – you might prefer to wear a skirt to make it easier to change before and after. When you're ready, you'll sit on the chair or bed, covered with a piece of paper.
During the test
The smear test itself takes about 10 minutes, and the smear taker will advise you how to get into position.
"It's not painful, and it's usually not too uncomfortable. A small instrument called a speculum is put into the vagina to allow the smear taker to see the cervix or the neck of the womb and with a brush they'll take a sample of the cells," says Dr Flannelly.
After the test
The cells are sent to a laboratory, and you should receive your results within a four-week period.
If your test is normal, you will get a recommendation when your next smear test is due. You can go to the CervicalCheck website and put in your PPS number and your date of birth and it will tell you exactly when your next smear test is due.
"It's important not just top have one smear test, but to have regular smear tests," Dr Flannelly says, noting that CervicalCheck offers free tests every three years to women up to the age of 45, and every five years until they turn 60.
If the smear test is abnormal, you'll be given an appointment to go to the CervicalCheck colposcopy clinics, of which there are 15 around Ireland.
"If it's a high-grade abnormality, they'll be seen within four weeks, otherwise they're seen within eight weeks. If they need a treatment, most treatments are done in the clinic under local anaesthetic, and it's very effective, reducing your risk of cervical cancer by 90pc."
Under 25?
Although cervical cancer is rare in women under 25, there have been calls to reduce the starting age for screening, a move some doctors warn could do more harm than good.
"Because the neck of the womb isn't completely matured, you get a very high rate of abnormal smears. These are what we call false positives," says Dr Edel McGinnity, a GP in north Dublin.
"When they go for the next part of the assessment, colposcopy, it turns out they don't have an abnormal cervix. You create this enormous anxiety in people who don't actually have anything wrong with them."
Abnormal cells and HPV infections are very common in young women, but as most infections are transient, smears can end up detecting low-grade lesions that will never develop into cancer, leading to over-diagnosis and over-treatment that can be very upsetting for young women.
"Before CervicalCheck came in, we did smears in under 25s, and we used to get huge numbers of abnormal smears. It's very distressing for a young woman to get this call saying their smear is abnormal, there's a lot of morbidity and stress associated with it."
Dr Flannelly argues that the most important thing for women under 25 is to be covered with the HPV vaccination.
"The HPV vaccination program, in combination with cervical screening, is the best possible future for Ireland in terms of trying to make cervical cancer a rare disease," she says.
"If you are under 25 and you have symptoms, then you absolutely should be checked out. Irrespective of your age and irrespective of your smear results, if you have abnormal vagina bleeding and abnormal vaginal discharge, you should get that checked out and your GP should have a look at your cervix using a speculum.
"They may not take a smear but they may take swabs or something else. Most importantly, they will look at your cervix and tell you if it's abnormal. If they're unsure, they will send you to a gynaecology clinic to be checked out."

London via Athens gruff punk rockers The Burnt Tapes have just released a short b-sides EP named Besides. Containing three songs that were written and recorded over the past year for different compilations and projects that didn't come off, the band deciding to release it as a stop gap before they release a new EP.
First up is a song named Go Drunk, You're Home. This is a slow paced song that really focuses on the big sing-along moments rather than being a whirlwind of a punk song. It's a song about feeling like you're being left behind in life and making sure you have a lot of great memories. I really enjoyed the use of two different vocalists on the song - more bands should use multiple vocalists especially in music like this. It does give the feeling of inclusiveness that all punks love. Of course there are also some "woah-oh" harmonies thrown in towards the end of the song, as you would expect from the best sing-along punk rock music. Next up is the track South To Motherboy. The song starts out a little slow with a short and quiet guitar riff acting almost as a siren, warning that something big is about to happen. The pace is certainly upped here showing a different side to The Burnt Tapes. The upped-pace gives a sense of urgency to go along with lead singer Phil's raspy, strained vocal. South To Motherboy is a song about not wanting to let somebody down and also not being able to let them leave your life. This is a bit of a heart-on-your-sleeve track with Phil really singing with a lot of passion. Finally we have Adrenochrome Heights. This song originally appeared on a Struck Dum Records comp earlier in the year. The tone on Adrenochrome Heights feels much darker than on the previous two tracks. There is also a lot more focus on the guitar work, with Phil and Pan having some great duelling riffs throughout. Phil's vocals are really pushed to the limit here, really portraying so much emotion that really gets you invested into the song.
The Burnt Tapes are one of the very best up and coming punk bands in the UK. Playing shows all over the UK, as well as the odd tour of Europe, they are picking up more and more fans all of the time. This EP showcases the band's continuing growth as musicians and songwriters and should help tide over fans of the band who are eagerly awaiting a brand new EP of new material.

Such an adorable couple whose amazing 2020-wedding I already can't wait for!
Viewing entries in
A magical proposal in the snowy Swiss Alps. Phillip and Denise came to Switzerland all the way from Australia and left it again as an engaged couple. It was an honor to capture this moment.
A spontaneous model call turned int winter-wonderland magic.
Getting up at 3am is worth it when a tremendously beautiful Indonesian landscape awaits. Add a crazy-in-love couple and you'll get magic!
A spontaneous model call turned into a fun-filled afternoon in Zurich with a couple whom I had met a a gorgeous wedding.
When you meet a fellow photographer on a honeymoon-island you obviously do a mutual shoot. And boy, did it turn out wonderful.
A couple's shoot with two wonderful people who now have to explain to everyone that they're NOT engaged. They just wanted to have lasting memories of themselves. So great!
It was amazing seeing the love these two have for each other, even after being together for a decade. Also, this shoot was a special honor since Fabio is a great photographer himself.
A very impromptu shoot with two strangers on a mountaintop. Snow, mountains and love combined just make for great pictures.
What do you do when you have a shoot planned on the coldest day of the year? You get creative! That's what we did with those two. We found a place to shoot inside and - after having warmed up - braved the cold together.
While visiting a friend in Germany I wanted to take some time to meet with a cute couple and shoot shome fun photos and I couldn't have wished for cooler people than Christiane & Christian.
Emanuela and Marco decided to do an engagement-shoot simply because almost no pictures existed of them as a couple. And that after quite a few years of being together. You wouldn't belive it when you see how natural they look in front of a camera.
It had to be a mountain-themed wedding, that much they knew. So Camilla and Samuel grabbed their drindl and lederhosen and we drove up to the mountains to take their engagement-photos.

text: The Pennsylvania Shotokan Karate Club has been an important part of our family's life for the past four years. The physical skills attained are beneficial to our children. In addition, they have gained unique mental skills from participating in tradition martial arts such as respect, focus, integrity and humility. The teachings of Sensei Baldis have affected our children in a positive way and will most likely influence them for a long time. For example, our 8 year old has been very successful competing on a national level and has dreams of being a member of the first United States Olympic Karate Team coached by Sensei Baldis. This hasn't been all sweat and hard work. Through the PSKC, our children have made close friends and we have enjoyed getting to know other parents. As a family, we are thrilled that we have karate in our lives under the tutelage of an outstanding sensei.

I just finished reading Rebellion.
Quite good fun, light reading, not particularly well written, but still very readable.
In this episode of the series, the machines keep pushing the human marines to fight for them, but Rigg's Pigs fight back, having had enough, it being pretty clear the Macros are just going to make them keep fighting until they are all dead.
There were some good concepts and sequences, involving a race of centaur-like people that have been forced off their homeworlds to live in giant space habitats. They did seem a little fragile though, not sure how they haven't all been killed off looong ago. There was also an introduction of a new race of group intelligent bio goop, a new Nano intelligence and some more information regarding the Blues.
So a nice easy holiday read, maybe a bit sexist and simple, like the protagonist, but there is still interest for me to keep reading the series.

Off to swim and see the animals!/
I love all the firsts that we get to do with our little man!! This afternoon we are headed off to Lancaster, PA where we have rented a room for tonight at a hotel with a pool. We are going swimming with Davis! We'll also eat some good Lancaster County food. Then, tomorrow we are going to a petting zoo to show Davis animals that he has never seen before. Horses, goats, and the like. It is gonna be a blast...if he doesn't get too scared. I have been pretty much checked out (mainly out of town) since Monday morning. Looking forward to checking back in and sharing some quality family time!
Oh, by the way, I wanted to let you know that miracles do still happen! I got my recent masters project back. I got an "A"! Modern day miracle, trust me.
--Love to you!

It's not an expectation that someone pay. It's a cultural signaling device in other cultures that I think are not as forward as you are?
If you're an American or French or German or Irish, or any number of other nationalities, you might find yourself on a date with someone, but we don't talk about that kind of thing, sometimes for months. Particularly in the Southern U.S., people don't discuss that---they might just spend time with someone, but it's not clear what's going on there. If the man offers to pay, then it's clear it's a date.
You don't seem to be aware that cultural standards for that kind of thing are generally a lot more conservative than they are in Scandinavia. We don't for lack of a better phrase, sleep around like you do.

Bovis brushes off Brexit gloom with sales increase
The housebuilder said the market is 'strong'.
Housebuilder Bovis Homes has brushed off gloom in the property sector to report higher sales in what the company called a fundamentally "strong" market.
In a statement ahead of its annual general meeting, the firm unveiled a 17% increase in private sales per site per week.
The company said: "The current market fundamentals remain strong and we continue to see good levels of demand for new homes across all of our operating regions.
"We have a strong forward sales position and are confident of delivering completions in line with our expectations for the year."
The statement contrasted with updates from fellow housebuilders in recent months, which have flagged Brexit uncertainty in the market.
Bovis itself even warned in November that the lack of clarity was holding some buyers back.
Analysts at Shore Capital said the firm had likely experienced better conditions than its peers due to its efforts to rebuild its reputation after a scandal over shoddy homes.
"While Bovis reports that the market is 'strong' this is not the same view expressed by other house builders where the market is seen as being stable on the demand side and weakening on prices," analyst Robin Hardy said.
"It must be borne in mind that Bovis is still on a journey of re-build and repair and that this is likely to enable it to fair better than the rest of the sector. So, the bullish comments relate to this rather than any suggestion that the new homes or the wider housing markets are on the up."

Girls Discover Thrill of Robotics at OLMA Summer Camp
As part of the Summer at OLMA Series of academic and athletic camps, 22 girls entering grades 6-8 are spending the week thinking like the future engineers and scientists they very well may become. Brand new this summer, OLMA Robotics camp features
Lego Mindstorm® EV3 technology. Students are working in teams to complete projects and solve problems using computational thinking skills. Along the way, they are discovering how code translates into real-world, autonomous actions, while using color, ultrasonic, Bluetooth® and touch sensors to control their robots.
According to rising 8th grader, Angelina Meduri, "This camp really works your brain to create things that you enjoy." That sentiment is echoed by Robotics team member, Rachel Haverly, also a rising 8th grade student. "This is such a unique and interesting experience that allows all of us to be creative, learn and have fun," she said.
During today's session, the girls are focusing on coding their robots to make precise movements, like driving up and parking in the homemade driveway and garage constructed by teacher, Douglas Burhanna, OLMA Head Soccer Coach and Robotics Instructor. "The goal is to inspire their interest in science, technology, engineering, and problem solving," said Mr. Burhanna. "These girls are completely open to the process and not at all shy. They are ready to go for it and are having a blast."
OLMA Robotics is one of 12 camps offered as part of the Summer at OLMA Series. Located in Newfield, NJ, OLMA is South Jersey's premier Catholic high school for young women. Through a challenging academic curriculum, diverse extra-curricular program, hands-on leadership experience, and the spirit of sisterhood, OLMA students thrive and are forever bonded in faith and friendship. For more information, visit the OLMA website at www.olmanj.org or call (856) 697-2008.

[Intensity Pro 4k on macOS (Hackintosh)] Why is my mic not working when streaming?
Hey all. I just rediscovered GameShow and I was playing with it for a bit. I'm on a Hackintosh running macOS 10.13.1 and GameShow is the only broadcasting app that's allowed my capture card captured audio (Intensity Pro 4k) to stream on macOS. That's working great, but I can't seem to get my microphone audio to broadcast to the stream as well. As my mic I'm using a Yeti Blue Stereo, though it's physically white. lol. As per the attached image, it seems the stream/GameShow itself can only handle one audio track at a time when broadcasting to Twitch? Track 1 I believe is mapped to my IP4k's captured audio. Track 2 is my mic. I'm only using the free version. When I get paid this week I might take the $29 plunge. Is that why? Thanks in advance.
Edit: OKAY! So I solved my issue. I used Rogue Amoeba's LoopBack to capture/create a virtual audio device for GS to use, and it works beautifully! I can now make live commentary using my Yeti Stereo Mic atop capture card captured game audio. Thanks for this app! It's a great freemium alternative to OBS Studio.Reply
