MMP1 Discontinued
Audio production is evolving rapidly. Many functions that were previously handled by the mixing console are now built into high-performance DAW systems. But even today's most practical in-the-box mixing systems require a number of peripheral devices for full studio functionality, including some sort of monitor controller. Immersive audio formats have made the requirements for monitor control and management even more varied and complex. Yamaha has applied a great deal of time and effort to developing monitoring environments and studio systems for current and future audio production needs, and has come up with an ideal one-stop solution.
The MMP1 Studio Monitor Management System offers all essential audio processing functionality for DAW-based production environments in one streamlined, versatile, great-sounding, space-saving unit that provides efficient overall system management at surprisingly low cost.

A crystal oscillator is an electromechanical device, it's also an electronic oscillator circuit. The main purpose of an oscillator is to make use of a quartz crystal as a frequency. Crystal oscillators use the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal, which is made up of a piezoelectric material. This process allows the oscillator to create and obtain an electric signal with a high precision frequency.
This type of frequency is mostly used to keep track of time within a wristwatch or a digital integrated circuit, to provide a stable clock signal. This is where this signal gained it's commonly referred to as "clock signal". This clock signal is used to synchronise the operation of the other electronic devices that make up the system the oscillator is housed in. An oscillator is also used to help stabilise frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers, used in clocks (clock oscillator), computers and cell phones. Quartz crystal can also be found inside test and measurement equipment such as counters, signal generators and oscilloscopes.

Why Do I Need Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Botnets carry out brute-force attacks against thousands of WordPress sites and blogs every day, regardless of size. Once inside, botnets infect your visitors with malware. A compromised website leads to delisting by search engines or blocking by your hosting provider. Rublon Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prevents such attacks.
Why Are Passwords Not Enough?
Many people use simple, easy-to-guess passwords which can be easily broken or stolen. If you use the same password across multiple devices, services, or on unsecured connections, such as public Wi-Fi networks, you are an easy target for hackers. Botnets can attempt to compromise WordPress sites by using millions of common passwords and character combinations.
How Does Rublon MFA Work?
Rublon Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security on top of your usual login & password WordPress logins. First, a user enters their username and password as always. Then, Rublon displays the Rublon Prompt. The user can select one of the available authentication methods, such as Mobile Push or WebAuthn/U2F Security Key. After selecting and completing the authentication method, the user gains access to WordPress.
The Rublon Prompt also allows users to self-enroll their mobile device or security key if they have not already. Further, thanks to the Rublon Prompt, the user can check the Remember this device checkbox to bypass MFA during subsequent logins on a selected device. -
Why Should I Use Rublon MFA?
Rublon is simple and user-friendly. Activate the plugin, enter the System Token and Secret Key from the Rublon Admin Console, and you're done. Your users don't have to install or configure any additional software. Rublon is so simple to use that your users won't need training. Once they confirm their identity on a device, they can choose to remember this device and log in by only entering their WordPress password.
How Is Rublon MFA Different?
Traditional Multi-Factor Authentication solutions demand users to enter a one-time password each time they want to log in. That's why people don't like them. Rublon is different. With Rublon, you confirm your identity by clicking a link, tapping a push notification on your phone, or touching a FIDO security key. Rublon doesn't force you to type anything on your keyboard and gives you many authentication options to find your favorite.
How Much Does Rublon Cost?
Rublon Multi-Factor Authentication is an all-in-one package that contains Rublon MFA for WordPress and dozens of other products, applications, and integrations. You can start a Free Rublon Trial and enjoy all features for 30 days. If you only want to protect one WordPress account, you will never have to pay! For more information, visit our Pricing page.
How Can I Protect My WordPress Account With Rublon MFA?
Simply install the Rublon for WordPress plugin and activate it. Then, create a new WordPress application in the Rublon Admin Console and copy the values of the System Token and Secret Key. For full detailed instructions (including screenshots), refer to our Documentation.
Does Rublon MFA Support Phone-Based, Out-Of-Band Multi-Factor Authentication?
Yes! Just install the Rublon Authenticator mobile app on your phone (available for Android and iOS). After entering your WordPress login credentials, you will be prompted to verify your account in one of the following ways:
* Enter the TOTP code (Time-Based One-Time Password)
* Scan a QR code
* Confirm login using a push notification
* Copy the verification code from the SMS sent to your mobile number -
Do All My Users Have to Be Protected by Rublon MFA?
No. You can choose which users you want to protect. You can protect everyone or only select groups of users. You can use Group Policies to decide who is protected and how, including which authentication methods Rublon should allow and logins from which IP ranges Rublon should bypass.
Will Rublon MFA Know My Login Credentials?
No. Rublon never knows your credentials or those of your users. They are never transmitted to our servers. Rublon does its work in the background only after WordPress verifies your password. It's an independent security layer that sits beneath the login form.
Why is Using the Rublon Authenticator Mobile App More Secure Than Email-Based Authentication?
The Rublon Authenticator mobile app holds your digital identity with your private encryption key, which never leaves your phone. With any action requiring the mobile app, such as confirming your identity, the Rublon app generates a unique encrypted digital signature. Gaining access to an email account without multi-factor authentication is easier than stealing your private key from your phone and reusing it.

Tag: Single Payer
In Canada they have long, long, long waiting lists and people just up and die waiting, right? Just ask the villagers, they'll tell you.
I live in Vancouver, BC. Canada's medical system is a single payer system as many of you know. The monthly premium for a single person is $54.
Two years ago I developed a bladder infection, so I walked across the parking lot from work to a walk in clinic on my coffee break to see a doctor. The wait was about ten minutes. I presented my medical id card, saw the doctor, was diagnosed, and she wrote a prescription for antibiotics that cost me $18.In B.C., premiums are payable for MSP coverage and are based on family size and income. The monthly rates are:
$54 for one person
$96 for a family of two
$108 for a family of three or more
There was no bill for the doctor visit. It was covered.

Solutions for Bridges and Transportation
Concrete bridges, highways and railroad tracks require high performance concrete admixtures that provide excellent long-term resistance to cracking, shrinkage and steel corrosion from the beginning.
Increasing demands for faster construction and an extended service life creates challenges for designers and engineers as the structures are exposed to traffic loads, extreme weather conditions and attack from environmental elements such as chlorides and sulphates.
The Master Builders Solution brand offers the latest polymer technology for high quality, high strength and versatile concrete. Our premier technical support teams offer customized solutions by selecting the appropriate admixtures and optimized concrete mixture proportions for the best balance of durability and ease of placement.
MasterGlenium: high-range water-reducing admixtures.
MasterSure: slump retention technology for concrete.
MasterLife: corrosion resistant admixtures.
MasterSet: concrete setting-time adjusters.
MasterPel: water resistant, efflorescence-controlling admixtures.
Intelligent solutions - diagnose, repair and protect
Master Builders Solutions has a comprehensive portfolio of optimal repair and protection solutions that specifically meet the challenges faced in bridge renovation, maintenance, preservation and new construction.
Our product range is supported by a global community of Master Builders Solutions construction experts whose expertise is built on more than 100 years of experience in the construction industry. We connect with you to deliver tailor-made solutions for the successful completion of your bridge repair and protection projects from start to finish, keeping structures sound for years to come.
From corrosion prevention and mitigation, to concrete repair and crack rehabilitation, Master Builders Solutions products are formulated to re-establish the bridge's structural integrity and aesthetics. By understanding the primary cause of the damage, we work with you to quickly restore the bridge's full load-bearing capacity, extending the service life and strength of the concrete and its architectural elements, for a fast return to service.
By applying Master Builders Solutions protective coatings and superficial treatments, the deterioration of concrete decks from traffic erosion, water ingression, salts and freeze-thaw cycles can be resisted. These include high-performance water repellents and thin polymer overlays that chemically bond with the concrete to create an invisible defense shield.
Grouting solutions that challenge movement
Master Builders Solutions' cementitious, epoxy and polymer-based grouting solutions are designed for their ease of application, durability and high performance properties. Developed for segmental bridges and rail lines, these high-strength liquid grouting products deliver post-tensioning, structural stabilization and precision alignment of parts.
Grouts that are formulated for injection and concrete bonding, anchoring and the protection of steel tendons from corrosion, provide total load bearing support for each component or segment. Highly durable, they are able to withstand extreme conditions and temperatures that include freeze-thaw cycles and marine environments.

When the Buddha arrived in Kusinara and lay down between two sal trees, they burst into flower out of season and sprinkled their petals over him. Ananda expressed amazement that the very trees were revering him, the Buddha said: "Ananda, these sal trees burst into flower out of season in homage to the Tathagata and covered his body…But the monk or the nun, the lay man or the lay woman who lives practicing the Dhamma properly and perfectly fulfills the Dhamma, he or she honors, reveres and respects the Tathagata with the highest homage" (D.II,137-8). Being Vesakha I thought it appropriate to say something about sal trees.
The sal tree (Shorea robusta) is sala in Pali and occasionally assakanna because the leaves resemble a horse's ear (Ja.VI,528). Sal is a majestic tree growing up to 45 meters in height and having a girth of 3.6 meters, with ovate oblong leaves and pale yellow flowers. Its difficult to find huge sal trees today, they are almost always cut down before they become what the Buddha called "forest monarchs" (vanaspati, S.IV,302). Once I saw one on the edge of Corbett National Park that must have been about 40 meters and I am told that there are still giants growing in Royal Chitwan National Park in Nepal. The tree is described as having dark green leaves, a straight trunk and being beautiful to see (Ja.V,251). In the light of this story and the belief that the Buddha passed away during Vesakha, it is interesting to note that the sal usually blossoms in March-April and occasionally in May, if there has been a lot of rain. The huge sal trees that grew in the lower reaches of the Himalayas had leaves and foliage, bark and shoots, soft wood and heart wood (D.III,152). The Buddha described how a man would make a boat out of a sal trunk. First he would locate a large tree in the forest and cut it down with his ax. After shaping the exterior and hollowing out the inside, he would them further shape it with a scraper and then smooth it with a rock ball. Finally, he would fix a rudder, make a pair of oars and then slide it down to the river (A.II,201). The Buddha also describes a man going to a sal forest near a village and thinning the other trees and the crooked sal saplings so that the other Sal trees would grow bigger and straighter (M.I,125). Sal trees were sometimes strangled by parasitic vines (Dhp.162). The Buddha once said that his Dhamma was so convincing that if the great Sal trees had consciousness and could comprehend, even they would benefit from it (A.II,193). One moonlit night, Ananda and Revata went to visit Sariputta at the Sal forest of Gosinga which was "delightful…with all the trees in full bloom and with a heavenly fragrance wafting through the air" (M.I,212). Sometimes gruel was made from or flavored with sal, either the flowers or perhaps its resin (A.III,48). The sal was and continues to be even today an important source of timber in India.

NADA, which stands for the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, was established in 1985 to promote the NADA protocol acupuncture treatment for addiction. The non-profit organization promotes advocacy and the use of a non-verbal, pharmaceutical free approach to behavioral health. The protocol uses five specific acupuncture points on the ear to treat addiction and to be an alternative to methadone.
The NADA protocol differs slightly from other acupuncture treatment. The treatment usually involves needling in both of the patient's ears for about 30 minutes. The treatment is done in a group setting for support for those being treated as they recover from addiction.
The NADA protocol is about more than just acupuncture, but really about being a step in a sometimes long road to recovery.
Patients are treated in a quiet, peaceful room. Each patient gets the exact same treatment. Group treatment is emphasized to address feelings of denial and create an open, safe environment.
Those in recovery from addiction commonly report feelings of an improved sense of purpose and well being after treatment. Acupuncture is known for its relaxing benefits, which is especially helpful for those in recovery. Patients are able to de-stress in their treatment process to help them continue to make progress.
Most common effects of the NADA protocol include:
- Improved retention of rehabilitation programs
- Improved mood and outlook
- Lowered anxiety
- Lowered cravings
- Improved sleep
- Reduced need for prescription medication
There are a lot of factors that come to play in addiction treatment. Along with counseling, support groups and/or 12-step programs, the NADA protocol can help make recovery easier and more successful.

The Baker administration on Sunday announced an online portal where individuals and companies can easily donate or sell personal protective equipment (PPE) and volunteer to support the COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts. This effort will ensure that front line responders get the protective equipment they need to stay and push for more trained volunteers to join the response.
"Massachusetts has already received generous donations from countless organizations, and by launching this portal we'll make it easier to streamline these offers and quickly distribute supplies to those in need," said Governor Charlie Baker. "We also need more volunteers to help support our response to this unprecedented public health emergency, and urge people to sign up to lend a hand. Our administration will continue making every effort to secure supplies from all possible resources to support our front line workers during these tough times."
The Commonwealth's COVID-19 PPE Procurement and Donation Program creates an easy portal allowing companies and organizations to sell or donate protective equipment that is in short supply given the global demands for such items.
By visiting the COVID-19 PPE Procurement and Donation website, businesses and organizations can offer for purchase or donation critically needed personal protective equipment, including:
•N95/N99 masks (respirators)
•Facemasks with integrated shields
•Protective suits/gowns
•Sanitizing wipes
•Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PARR)
•Booties/shoe covers
•Hand sanitizer
The initiative announced today bolsters current efforts to leverage traditional and emergency supply chain channels.
"We have a constant demand and need for personal protective equipment (PPE) available to our medical, first responder and essential service communities. Over the past week, hundreds of deliveries of PPE have been made to front line health care providers, and first responders, but we need so much more," said Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders, the Commonwealth's COVID-19 Command Center Director. "Last week more than 28,000 masks, and 120,000 pairs of gloves were distributed, and we've placed more than $50 million in orders for additional supplies. We are also waiting on our third delivery from the Strategic National Stockpile."
The program also provides an entry point for local manufacturers to get more information on adapting their businesses to produce more equipment here in Massachusetts, an effort being led by the administration's recently established Manufacturing Emergency Response Team, co-chaired by Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy, and Mike Tamasi, President and CEO of AccuRounds, a precision components manufacturer located in Avon.
"It comes as no surprise that both manufacturers and university R&D partners across Massachusetts have stepped up during this challenging time to support those saving lives and provide logistical expertise toward stopping the spread of this virus," said Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy, Co-Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative. "This portal serves as a front door for companies that think their operations can be adapted to address manufacturing supply chain issues and produce the equipment needed by those on the front lines."
A call for volunteers:
To support ongoing COVID-19 emergency response efforts, the Baker-Polito Administration has partnered with the Massachusetts Medical Society to match health and medical volunteers with our communities and health care providers based on skillsets and need. There is an immediate need forrespiratory therapists and public health nurses, and the administration is asking health care professionals interested in volunteering to sign up by clicking here. Since launching the initiative, more than 1,000 people have already registered.

An electrical arc flash can occur when someone is verifying the presence of voltage, checking the balance of current, operating a switch, inspecting an energized cable or bus connections during routine maintenance, or simply standing in the vicinity of energized equipment. This is a reason to perform an arc flash hazard assessment study — to discern the degree of arc flash hazard present and the level of PPE required at a given location on the power distribution system. In addition, this type of study helps determine the possible means to reduce the energy through time and/or distance adjustments. Many times, however, this requires you to run through a series of calculations using available commercial engineering software or lengthy hand calculations. However, mistakes can be made during the calculations process. That's why it's critical for you to understand the limitations of these methodologies.
The basics
Arc flash studies require input from short circuit and coordination analysis to calculate incident energy based upon bolted and arcing fault current levels, arcing time duration, and distance to arc. Arcing faults are the result of current passing through the air. At a particular point in the distribution system, this current is always less than that possible for a bolted fault, which is a result of the direct metallic connection between conductors. The incident energy created during an arcing fault is calculated in the form of calories per square centimeter (cal/cm2).
The approach taken by the engineering professional performing the analysis needs to consider some items that are not necessarily addressed in performing short circuit and coordination analysis. This discussion will concentrate on the approach taken using IEEE Std 1584-2002 with two amendments: IEEE Std 1584a-2004 and 1584b-2011.
The objective of any arc flash assessment is to calculate the incident energy and determine the arc flash boundary distance. The arc flash boundary is defined as the approach limit, at a distance from exposed live parts, within which a person could receive a second-degree burn if an electrical arc flash were to occur. The reliability of overcurrent protective devices is critical to escalation of an arc flash to higher levels than expected, so system maintenance is very important.
Required data
An arc flash hazard assessment requires the following input data about the distribution system:
• Single-line diagram of the power distribution system from the electric utility source to the low-voltage panelboards and motors (50 hp and larger).
• Electric utility source data, indicating minimum and maximum available bolted fault current, X/R ratio, and supply voltage.
• Transformer data, indicating ratings, impedances, types, and primary/secondary protection.
• Equipment type and voltage rating of current transformers (CTs), breakers, switches, and fuses in switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), and panelboards, indicating manufacturer, types, ratings, ratios, settings, and short circuit withstand capabilities.
• Protective device characteristics from time current curves (TCCs), indicating CT ratios, manufacturer, model, type, and settings.
• Feeder cable material (Cu/Al), sizes and lengths and raceway material (magnetic / non-magnetic).
• Size and rating of motors or loads, especially 40kW or larger, connected to switchgear, distribution panels, or MCCs.
• Working distance of worker to equipment bus or energized component.
Example scenario
Let's begin with a simple example of a radial portion of a distribution system (Fig. 1) having a 5kV overhead electric utility distribution line, using a pole-mounted fused disconnect, to feed an underground feeder serving an oil-filled, pad-mounted 1,500kVA transformer with 5.75% impedance. The primary full load ampacity (FLA) of the transformer is 208A. According to NEC Table 450.3(A), a primary fuse up to 300% could be used.
Let's begin with a 500A, 5kV fuse, which is about 240% of primary FLA. There are cables connecting the 480/277V wye transformer secondary with a solidly grounded neutral to a main power circuit breaker in 480V switchgear. The secondary FLA of the transformer is 1,804A. Again, according to the NEC, a protective device could be sized up to 250% (in supervised locations), but a 125% limit (for unsupervised locations) is more common and useful for arc flash considerations. So 1.25 × 1,804A = 2,255A. However, because there is not a device of that rating, let's begin with a 2,400A power circuit breaker. This main breaker could be set with a long time pick-up of 0.9 or 2,160A to properly protect the transformer and possibly the secondary conductors. One of the feeders from this switchgear is an 800A power circuit breaker feeding an 800A rated MCC. Finally, there is a 600A fused switch in the MCC serving a downstream panel load.
The primary conductors are routed in underground PVC conduits. The transformer primary is 100 ft of 2-250kcmil shielded copper 5kV conductors per phase with a 90°C conductor temperature — and each rated to carry 260A. The secondary conductors are routed in an underground ductbank, so you can use copper conductors with a 90°C conductor temperature using 6-500kcmil conductors per phase to carry the 1,804 FLA. However, these should be increased to 6-750kcmil per phase to carry 2,190A, which would then be protected by the secondary main breaker from a downstream fault. The conductors between the switchgear and the MCC are copper conductors with a 75°C conductor temperature in a steel conduit. Using 2-500kcmil per phase to carry 760A would allow the breaker to be set with a long time pick-up of 0.95 or 760A.
Once the available fault level is obtained from the electric utility, you can use the above data to evaluate the available fault levels at the switchgear and the MCC. In addition, when the equipment manufacturer and types of breakers are determined, a TCC can be prepared reflecting the operating conditions of this system (Fig. 2). Then, with the push of a button, if using commercially available software, the arc flash incident energy and arc flash boundary can be determined. But do you really have the necessary information for safe operation of the equipment at that point?
Other considerations
There are many locations within the power distribution system that are critical to appropriately understanding the exposure to arc flash energies. First, a device cannot protect itself. Thus, to evaluate the incident energy at any point, you must look upstream from the point of the fault to the protective device ahead of the point being evaluated. Second, to use the main to protect the bus during an arc flash, it must be physically isolated from the bus and from the downstream feeders.
To accomplish appropriate arc flash evaluation, one suggestion is to add buses (Fig. 3) at system connection points into the model. A bus could be added after any impedance item like a transformer or cable and before any protective device. A main breaker would have a bus shown on the input and output of the breaker. For our example, to calculate the arc flash energy at the main breaker, the primary fuse protecting the transformer must be investigated. However, to permit the main breaker to provide protection of the equipment bus and feeder breakers, it needs to be determined if the main breaker is isolated from the bus and feeder breakers (e.g., for switchgear).
In considering a distribution board with an included main, generally in a common enclosure with the bus and feeders, the main would not be considered isolated. The same is true for many switchboards, MCCs, and panelboards. One way to use a main to protect its downstream bus is to place the main in its own isolated enclosure and then use cable and conduit to the bus with fire stop in the conduit. The isolated main would have higher arc flash incident energy than the bus and downstream feeders.
Available fault current
In the past, it was useful to consider an infinite electric utility short circuit current and then, from the transformer size and impedance, evaluate the maximum available bolted fault current. This was — and still is — helpful for ensuring the equipment has suitable short circuit withstand ratings. However, with arcing current being a lower current than the bolted fault current, it is also important to consider the actual or minimum available electric utility fault capacity. Compare the secondary available bolted fault current of a 10,000MVA source to a 90MVA source supplying a 480V, 1,500kVA transformer. Note that instead of a 31kA bolted fault, you could be looking at 24kA (Fig. 4). If you would plot a series of available source MVA versus transformer secondary faults, you could arrive at results depicted in Fig. 5.
However, it is not the bolted fault but the arcing fault that is important. It is well known that an arcing fault is lower in value than the available bolted fault for any point in a circuit. Using IEEE Std 1584 Equation 1 for under 1,000V, you can calculate that 480V equipment arcing faults are roughly between 40% and 60% of the available bolted fault current level. For quick calculations, a value of 50% can be used. For 208V equipment, arcing faults are roughly between 20% and 35% of the available bolted fault. For quick estimated calculations, a value of 25% can be used.
In addition, according to IEEE Std 1584, there is a recommendation to calculate a second arc current equal to 85% of the calculated arcing fault current. This is done to allow for discrepancies in matching the equation to the test points. Then, from the bolted fault, the arcing fault and 85% of the arcing fault can be estimated.
Arcing faults are not predictable
Let's recap what we've discussed so far. The electric utility is asked to provide an estimate of the fault current at the point in its system where the equipment that is being evaluated is said to exist (the position of which is an estimate). You use the manufacturer's estimate of the transformer impedance, which varies from no load to full load — and with temperature. The conductor size and length are chosen, and, as a result, its impedance is estimated — again, as it varies with temperature. Calculations provide an estimate of the bolted fault current and subsequently estimate the arcing fault current. Manufacturers' estimated TCCs depict how a properly maintained protective device is expected to respond to the bolted and arcing fault current. In other words, our resulting calculation is a reasonable approximation of what is expected to occur.
Expanding our facility distribution system to include bolted and arcing fault levels, it should be realized that the fault current also has an impact on the conductors' ability to transmit that level of fault current. If a fault current of 24kA is available at the transformer secondary, then a conductor rated to normally carry a full load current could experience a lower fault current at a distance from the source to an estimated point by as much as 200 ft (Fig. 6). With a 24kA available bolted fault, an 800A feeder circuit of 100 ft for the MCC would only see 83% of that available fault, or 20kA; and the arcing fault would be roughly 50%, or 10kA. The 85% point is 8.5kA. So what started as 24kA is now seen as 8.5kA. This certainly has an impact on the setting of the circuit protective device.
What can be adjusted to affect the arc flash incident energy in a system? The fault level from the electric utility can't be modified by the facility distribution system. The transformer size and impedance can be adjusted, especially for large units, but this may not allow for the appropriate total capacity of service to the facility. The location of equipment could be adjusted, but other factors generally have the principal impact on equipment location. The electrical protective devices and their settings can be selected and have the greatest effect on the available incident energy at points throughout the distribution system.
Looking back at the initial system TCC (Fig. 2), can anything be adjusted to reduce the arc flash incident energies in the system? The primary fuse could be resized. This would still allow for transformer inrush and full load capability. In general, medium-voltage fuses do not provide a real means to reduce incident energy, especially on the low-voltage side of the transformer.
For the 1,500kVA transformer with a 90MVA source, there is 12.5kA bolted fault current at 4,160V. The medium-voltage arcing fault is roughly 1% to 2% less than the bolted fault per Equation 2 of IEEE Std 1584. Then, looking at 85%, the 4,160V arcing fault level is approximately 10.6kA. A 500A fuse would respond in about 0.02 sec, yielding an arc flash energy at the transformer primary of less than 1cal/cm2. The secondary 24.3kA of bolted fault at 480V would have about 12kA of arcing fault and 10.3kA of reduced arcing fault. The medium-voltage fuses respond much too slowly, resulting in energy above 50 cal/cm2. However, looking at Fig. 7, the short-time pickup (STPU) of the secondary main could be reduced from 5 to 3. This would reduce the reaction time for the main breaker from 12 sec to 0.31 sec and thus, the arc flash incident energy from 50 cal/cm2 (for 2 sec maximum) to 12 cal/cm2. The MCC feeder STPU could be reduced from 9 to 5 to maintain coordination with the main. This would overlap the 600A fuse, but if the fuse size could be reduced to 400A, coordination would be maintained.
Option for Class L fuses
During this design, you could use other protective devices, such as a 2,000A secondary main fuse. When large low-voltage fuses are used, they respond in about 1 sec to a fault at seven to eight times their FLA rating and in about 0.01 sec to about 15 times their FLA rating. Keeping in mind that the arcing fault level is less than the bolted fault level (about 10kA for our example), a 2,000A secondary Class L fuse would respond to the arcing fault in about 7 sec. In fact, smaller fuses (even of the same current rating) of different types have differing responses at various current levels.
Various breaker types
Breakers also have differing characteristics. For example, an 800A adjustable power circuit breaker and an 800A thermal magnetic breaker are quite different. The power circuit breaker has long time (LTPU & LTD), short time (STPU & STD), and instantaneous (INST) settings, as well as, I2t and zone selective interlock options. The thermal magnetic breaker typically has LTPU and INST settings with possible adjustment of the INST (5 to 10 or some similar range) and possible zone selective interlock option.
It should be noted, with experience, that 480V equipment reaction times over approximately 0.5 sec for bolted fault values above 42kA — and reaction times of 1 sec for bolted fault values above 22kA — result in PPE Class 4 protective clothing level or higher.
In addition to the re-evaluation of protective devices and their settings, there are other mitigation approaches to consider:
• Replace the medium-voltage fuse or add a medium-voltage breaker with a short time adjustment to reduce secondary arc fault energy.
• Add a maintenance switch to provide lower relay settings or an instantaneous adjustment to a lower fault pick-up level in accordance with the arcing current.
• Add an arc mitigation relay that senses a flash of light from an arcing fault and the rate of rise of the current from the fault.
• Provide a reactor in the distribution circuit to reduce a high fault current
• Use zone selective interlocking to recognize and localize a fault more quickly.
• Install an ultra-fast earthing switch (UFES) between the medium-voltage fuse and transformer primary.
In many situations, the above may require an alternate scenario to the original design.
Increase the distance to equipment especially during operating and racking procedures:
• Provide a longer cranking rod to rack breakers. At 480V, doubling a nominal 18-in. distance would reduce the energy to about one-third. At 15kV, doubling a nominal 24-in. distance would reduce the energy about in half.
• Provide a remote racking device.
• Provide a remote operator.
Other non-direct effects on incident energy:
• Be aware of standby generators having lower available fault current than the electric utility power feed.
• Install arc resistant switchgear (Note: This equipment is only arc resistant when the doors are closed).
• A neutral grounded resistor (must be supervised) reduces the magnitude of single-phase arcs.
• Insulate the bus, which reduces the probability for single-phase and 3-phase arcs.
Although arc flash is a serious workplace hazard, there are means to evaluate its intensity and to mitigate the affect on electrical workers. IEEE Std 1584 and NFPA-70E provide mechanisms to calculate its intensity and to recommend appropriate PPE. Engineers should also be encouraged to determine other effective mitigation techniques such as providing barriers, increasing working distance from an arc, and reducing the time an arc would exist.

A variation of the following short statement accompanies the novella, The Curse of Jaxx, and was written by the story's author to explain its dedication to the early-20th century writer, H.P. Lovecraft.
I have been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft since my late teens. I first came across the word "Lovecraftian" in Stephen King's novel, The Stand, when I was about 13 and had no idea what it meant at the time. But a few years later, my friend Dale showed up in front of my parents' house on his Harley and pulled out a collection of Lovecraft's collection of short stories. "You've got to check this out," he said. "It's amazing."

Many economists say the expanded child tax credit helped reduce child poverty during the pandemic. Last year, Congress failed to extend it. Wailin Wong and Adrian Ma from The Indicator podcast explain that soon after the expanded benefit disappeared, the progress that had been made started to slip.
WAILIN WONG, BYLINE: Diane Schanzenbach has a book on her desk. It gets a ton of use. She's actually got two copies of it, one for her home office and one for work.
DIANE SCHANZENBACH: You can see that, you know, the spine is broken because I - you know, I use it so much.
WONG: Diane is the director of the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University. She studies child poverty. And this well-worn volume is a 2019 report by a group of researchers about how to cut the number of children living in poverty in the U.S. in half over the next decade.
ADRIAN MA, BYLINE: At the time of the report, their estimates showed 13% of children were living in families with annual incomes below the poverty line. And one way to think about that is that for a family of four, that would be an income below $25,000.
SCHANZENBACH: For many of us, we were convinced that an important tool would be the refundable monthly child tax credit that would help, you know, make sure that families were able to just bridge their month - you know, not run out of food at the end of the month, be able to pay their rent.
MA: So the child tax credit has been around for decades but as an annual benefit, you know, something that you can only claim once a year around tax time. Diane and her colleagues have been pushing to make this a monthly credit, and finally, in 2021, the government made it a reality. What it did was temporarily increase the size of the credit and then paid out a portion of it in monthly increments. So about 35 million families got monthly payments of $250 or $300 per child.
WONG: The first checks went out in July. Just a month later, according to the Census Bureau, households with children saw their food insufficiency decrease and also their financial hardship decrease. In other words, the money helped families put food on the table and cover their expenses.
SCHANZENBACH: It knocked my socks off to see that sharp decline. Families are struggling less because of this money that's going out.
WONG: Although there was some debate among economists about whether the tax credit was creating incentives to not work, overall, Diane and her colleagues were very encouraged by such clear progress. But about six months later, the very last checks under the expanded credit went out after Congress failed to extend it. And when the monthly checks stopped, the gains in reducing child poverty were reversed. One measure by Columbia University showed that in just one month, the child poverty rate jumped from around 12% to 17%.
MA: Yeah, that's a huge increase. And, I mean, to put it in perspective, that's about 3.7 million more kids living below the poverty line, most of them Black and Latino.
SCHANZENBACH: You know what? I feel sad about it because of what I think it means for low-income children and our national investment in them.
WONG: There may still be a shot at reviving a version of the monthly child tax credit. On Wednesday, Senator Mitt Romney and a couple other senators proposed a bill that would give working families a cash benefit every month.

Suresnes, France – Facing the Stade de France, the new building – Le Vérone –is an office block with a difference where art meets digital on the banks of the river Seine. The architectural creation was designed by Pucci de Rossi, a renowned Italian artist and designer, and draws attention thanks to its intricate mesh façade that is covered with 1,950 LED light points.
The concrete mesh sculpture has been positioned at a distance of 1 meter from the façade of the building.
To create an impression of a "galaxy of lights", the custom-made façade mesh modules incorporate 1,950 LED light points using iColor Flex LMX gen2 from Philips Color Kinetics. The flexible form factor of iColor Flex LMX gen2 allowed de Rossi enhance the perception of depth and three-dimensionality by mounting the light points both facing out, and toward the glass windows to create reflections. The façade mesh intricacy is further enhanced by additional layer of light washing the entire structure with ColorReach Compact Powercore from Philips Color Kinetics. The dynamic lighting harmonizes with the images on a high resolution screen and can be programmed to change color and intensity for many effects, including vente-privée's signature color pink. The light points are small in size and unobtrusive during daytime in order not to affect the appearance of this work of art but bright enough at night to create a strikingly lit façade that can be seen from a long distance.
"Art needs to be at the center of the suburbs, where open spaces allow exposure to monumental pieces for all to see. Le Vérone, with its mesh façade which represents the calligraphy initials of vente-privée, VP.com, is the incarnation of this wish. The projections on its high-resolution screen, and the animation of the LEDs of this concrete mesh façade, will be seen daily by many residents and drivers on the main road leading to the Charles de Gaulle airport," explains Jacques-Antoine Granjon, CEO and founder of vente-privée.
"Vente-privée wanted to be able to customize the lighting to specific events and so we programmed a set of sequences which may be easily modified at any time by the technicians at vente-privée," explained Richard Brousse, Application Specialist at Philips Lighting.
With its Pucci de Rossi masterpiece and the exciting and spectacular lighting design created and implemented by Philips Lighting, Le Vérone has become the first private building in France to fuse connected lighting with architecture and art.
Notes to editor:
Le Vérone building was designed by Italian artist and designer Pucci de Rossi and has been named after the Italian city of Verona, where Pucci De Rossi was born. The artist put the final touches to the decoration of the façade not long before his death, at the request of his friend, Jacques-Antoine Granjon, CEO and founder of vente-privée. The building was renovated by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and the façade is illuminated by 1,950 individually controlled RGB LED nodes of iColor Flex LMX gen2 from Philips Color Kinetics. Each iColor Flex LMX gen2 string is made up of 50 individually controllable dynamic LED nodes.
Architect: Jean- Michel Wilmotte
Designer-creator: Pucci De Rossi
Electrical contractor: Citeos Avignon
Engineering consultants: Guillaume Lamoureux and Romain Ricciotti

I am an engineer and artist. My work focuses on interactive objects and installations that cross over electronics, media elements, and artifacts from the non-digital world to achieve new forms of aesthetic experience. I've been active in the techno-art scene for several years now, two of which I spent as a researcher at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge/USA. My work was shown in galleries such as Location One (NYC), Exit Art (NYC) and the Gandhi Museum (New Delhi), and at major festivals, including transmediale (Berlin), Sonar (Barcelona), and Ars Electronica Center (Linz).

The Security Scan Report: Viewing Bitbucket's Overall Security Status
Bitbucket hosts thousands of repositories with numerous branches, each with the potential to contain vulnerabilities. The Security Scan Report provides a central security dashboard for Bitbucket administrators as well as any user who's been granted explicit access. Security scans can be performed on a per-branch basis from the scan page.
The Security Scan Report allows users to view scan report results of all Bitbucket projects, repositories and branches, starting from a high-level project overview which can be broken down into a per-repository and then per-branch basis. This page is available for global administrators and and anyone given explicit permission. It can be accessed from Bitbucket's Administration page or from the main Bitbucket toolbar:
You can get status from the project level, down through the repository and branch level. Some of these stats (like number of outdated repositories), are updated with each commit, so if you disable the plugin, they may become outdated.
Project level
By default, list of regular projects is displayed, but you can show them all or filter personal projects only using the Project type filter.
The project status bar breaks down the status of each repository in Bitbucket, which is tied to the status of each branch. Hovering over this bar will show you the exact breakdown, with each color representing the following:
Secure: repository is considered secure (i.e. all branches have been scanned for vulnerabilities and none were found).
Vulnerable: Vulnerabilities found in at least one branch of the repository.
Not Scanned: Repository has not been scanned.
Partially Scanned: Some branches were scanned and secure, but every branch has yet to be scanned.
Outdated: All repository branches were scanned, but either new commits have been made, or scanning configuration has changed, so the results are considered outdated.
Hovering over the status bar will show you the exact breakdown for each status:
Further, you can click any project name to drill down into into details at the repository level.
Repository level
The repository status bar breaks down the overall status of the repository for the selected project. The overall status is tied to the individual status of each branch. Hovering over this bar will show you the exact breakdown, with each color representing the following:
Secure: Branch is considered secure (i.e. all latest changes have been scanned for vulnerabilities and none were found).
Vulnerable: Vulnerabilities found in the branch.
Not Scanned: Branch has not been scanned.
Outdated: The branch was scanned before, but either new commits were made or scan configuration changed after the last scan was performed, so its security status is outdated.
Branch level
If branch has been scanned before, you can expand it to see the following scan details:
Last commit: When the last commit was made to the branch.
Last scan started: When the branch was last scanned.
Last scan duration: How long it took for the last scan to take place.
The Scan Status column has the following potential values:
Not Scanned: The branch hasn't ever been scanned, security status is unknown.
Queued: The scan is scheduled, but has not started yet.
Scanning: The scan is in progress.
Up To Date: The latest version of code has been successfully scanned.
Scanned X Commits Ago: Scanned, but new changes were made after, so scan results are outdated.
Settings Changed: Scanned, but afterward, the scan becomes outdated because at least one of the following happened:
changes were made to
on the default branch,a built-in rule was toggled, or
a custom rule was toggled or its regexp was edited.
Cancelled: Scan was started and then cancelled by user.
Internal Error: Some error was occurred during last scan, see Bitbucket log for details. If necessary, contact our support team by opening a support ticket in our support portal.
Sorting results
In each of the project level, repository level, and branch level scan reports, the rows can be sorted both by name (in the normal alphabetic order) and by the number of vulnerabilities found (from most to least).
To sort by name, simply click on the Project, Repository, or Branch column header as appropriate. To sort by number of vulnerabilities, click on the Vulnerabilities Found column header.
Bulk scanning
You can trigger scan of any branch, repository or project by clicking on the Actions menu on the edge of a table row. There are two options:
Scan outdated: schedule scanning of all unscanned branches, or branches that have advanced since last scan
Rescan all: force rescan of all existing branches
If you trigger rescan on a repository, all existing branches of the selected repository will be scheduled for rescan. For a project, all branches of all repositories of that project will be scanned. You can monitor the progress of the batch scan using the Scan Queue dropdown. You can also trigger a full Bitbucket rescan with a REST call.
Scan Queue
On the top-right you can find a drop down menu with the list of active scans. It gives an overview of running and scheduled scans for all projects / repositories / branches.
You can open detailed scan page by scan link, which is displayed in the following format:ProjectName / RepositoryName : BranchName
Item tooltip shows how long ago scan was added / started. You can cancel any scheduled or running scan from this list one by one, or reset them all with one button click.
Performance Information
For more information on scanning performance, see Scan Performance Tuning.

Here he spells out the ideal cast for an adaptation of Small Crimes:
Small Crimes is the first of three "man just out of prison" noir thrillers of mine that Serpent's Tail will be publishing. In this case, the man out of prison is Joe Denton, a disgraced ex-cop who got sent away when trying to destroy evidence for a corruption case being built against him ended up stabbing the DA, Phil Coakley, 13 times in the face and horribly disfiguring the man. Now out of prison Joe wants to go through life without causing anymore damage. The problem is Manny Vassey, a mobster Joe used to do jobs for, is dying of cancer, and Phil is trying his damndest to trade Manny a one-way ticket to heaven for a deathbed confession.Read an excerpt from Small Crimes, and learn more about the book from the publisher.
A 42 year-old version of Bruce Willis would be perfect for Joe, but at this point I'd go with Clive Owen.
Billy Bob Thornton with a good makeup job as DA Phil Coakley.
Burt Young as the dying Manny, Michael Chiklis as the sadistic and heir apparent, Manny Jr.
Tim Robbins as the spectacularly corrupt town sheriff, Dan Pleasant, who will go away also if Manny confesses, and puts Joe between a rock and a hard place to make sure that doesn't happen.
Renée Zellweger as Charlotte, a nurse who Joe tries to enlist in one of his many schemes to get out of his mess.
John C. Reilly as Earl, one of Joe's few remaining friends in town and the owner and bartender at Kelly's, a local strip club.
Eva Longoria as Toni, a stripper with not quite a heart-of-gold.
Rounding things out, Robert Duvall as Joe's dad, and Ellen Burstyn as Joe's mom.

I am diabetic, so sugary fruit juices, sodas, and even carb laden but good for you milk tend to drive my blood sugar levels sky high. So in an effort to maintain good control over my sugars, I often end up drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated. But drinking plain water can get rather boring to the taste buds after awhile.
Then I tried a new product from PUR Water and I am loving their PUR Flavor Options!
What is PUR Flavor Options?
- PUR Flavor Options is the first and only filter for tap water that lets you add a touch of sugar-free, calorie-free fruit flavoring to your water.
- PUR Flavor Options was named "Household Product of the Year" by Product of the Year USA in January 2009 and comes in raspberry, lemon, grape and strawberry.
About PUR Water Filtration:
- Environment & Money: Switching from bottled water to filtered and a reusable bottle can eliminate up to 3,200 plastic bottles and save one person up to $600 annually.
- Health: The EPA estimates that approximately 20% of Americans' lead exposure is attributable to tap water. PUR filters are certified to reduce many contaminants, including 98% of lead, 99.9% of microbial cysts and 99% of pharmaceuticals.
- Philanthropy: With each purchase of a PUR filter, a donation is made to Children's Safe Drinking Water which has, to date, provided over 1.5 billion liters of clean water to needy children and their families around the world.
What I love about PUR Flavor Options:
- No calories and no suragr or carbs but lots of flavor.
- Clear flavored drink, I can drink as much as I want without having to worry about staining my teeth, something I worry about with diet colas and ice tea.
- 4 different flavors mean I can change and try new flavors all the time.
- You can switch out the flavor cartridges, just keep the opened ones in the refrigerator.
- You can decide how intense you want the flavoring to be by choosing how many times you push a button.
- You add the flavoring only when you want. If you don't add the flavoring, the water you pour out will be pure and filtered, with a great clean taste.
- Use your own reusable bottle for portability and cut down on wasteful one use water bottles.
- Inexpensive way to add more variety into the beverages I drink.
Suggestions for PUR Flavor Options:
- The pitcher is smaller and holds less than another brand of water filtration pitcher that we also own. The PUR Favor Options water pitcher holds 7, 8-ounce glasses of water but it seemed like I had to refill it a lot. BUT on the upside, it actually fit in our fridge door unlike the other brand's. I'd like the option for a larger pitcher as well as the space saving one currently available, cause some of us like big glasses at a time.
- I liked the lemon flavoring a lot, it tastes like water with a lemon slice in it. The raspberry flavoring tasteed a little bit too artificial to me. But it is still pleasant tasting and a flavor I'd buy again, I just like lemon a lot more.
Excellent value for your money that provides a lot of variety. It's good for your health, good for the environment, and the pocketbook. It's a win win all around☺

Alessia Cara Shuts Down Haters After Grammys Best New Artist Win
Alessia Cara is hitting back at haters after facing an onslaught of negative reactions to her 60th Annual Grammy Awards Best New Artist win on social media.
In a lengthy message shared to her Instagram account Monday (January 29), Cara "addressed the apparent backlash" regarding her first Grammys trophy, which she scored after a successful year that included a performance on Saturday Night Live and two hit collaborations: "Stay" by Zedd and "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and fellow Best New Artist nominee Khalid.
See Cara's entire statement, below:
to address the apparent backlash regarding winning something I had no control over: I didn't log onto grammy.com and submit myself. that's not how it works. I didn't ask to be submitted either because there are other artists that deserve the acknowledgment. but I was nominated and won and I am not going to be upset about something I've wanted since I was kid, not to mention have worked really hard for. I meant everything I said about everyone deserving the same shot. there is a big issue in the industry that perpetuates the idea that an artist's talent and hard work should take a back seat to popularity and numbers. and I'm aware that my music wasn't released yesterday, I'm aware that, yes, my music has become fairly popular in the last year. but I'm trying very hard to use the platform I've been given talk about these things and bring light to issues that aren't fair, all while trying to make the most of the weird, amazing success I've been lucky enough to have. I will not let everything I've worked for be diminished by people taking offence [sic] to my accomplishments and feeling the need to tell me how much I suck. here's something fun! I've been thinking I suck since I was old enough to know what sucking meant. I've beat u to it. And that's why this means a lot to me. despite my 183625 insecurities, I've been shown that what I've created is worth something and that people actually give a shit. all of the years feeling like I wasn't good at anything or that I was naive for dreaming about something improbable have paid off in a way that I have yet to process. I know it sounds cheesy and dumb but it's the honest truth. thanks to everyone who's shown me kindness and support along the way. I'll stop talking now.
After taking home the trophy Sunday night, Twitter erupted with reactions towards Cara's win, with many claiming that Cara—who had a major radio hit with "Here" in 2015—didn't deserve the mantle over fellow nominees like SZA.
See some reactions, below:
Hosted by James Corden, the 60th annual Grammy Awards were aired live from New York City's Madison Square Garden on Sunday January 28, 2018.
