Deliberate replied to 2012_PlayeR's topic in Them British FolkThe armour of its competition has grown in general far stronger, with a shitload of stuff at tier 8 impenetrable. Combine this with shitty shell velocity and terrible gun handling for 140 alpha these days (Panther, Panther M/10 etc aim better without vertstabs) means that the gun is just terrible now.

Arty Stun Mitigation Skill
Deliberate posted a topic in Core Skills & Mechanics DiscussionThere should be a crew skill that mitigates the effect or shortens the duration of arty stun. Is this a potentially good idea?
Object 268 V4 Supertest Nerfs
Deliberate replied to Deus__Ex__Machina's topic in Upcoming Changes DiscussionChanges to the PW/T don't actually change the effective traverse on tanks with one engine such as Tier 10 tanks since the nominal traverse is already adjusted for engine power (normally the stock engine, but tier 10s have only one engine). The only things that would make a difference are terrain resistances and the nominal but since terrain resistances aren't changed the effective traverse is only nerfed by about a degree. If the tier 10s had a stock engine option that remained untouched while the top engine gets nerfed, only then would you see a change in traverse. Case in point: the 113 has the same nominal traverse and terrain resistances on all surfaces as the 5A but has 1.66 more HP/T. If engine power made a difference, it would turn faster but the effective traverses on all surfaces are identical.

The Untold Truth about the Somua SM
Deliberate replied to Madner Kami's topic in FranceI don't know what it is with me liking nominally mediocre French Heavies (I think the M4 54 is extremely competitive) but I've been finding this tank really excellent. For all you lose in mobility (and it's still fair in this regard, 37 kph, which it reaches on flat, is the same as the T110E5), you get an excellent gun. Holy balls this thing lays down mad damage. The gun handling, intra clip reload, aim time and 5 shots on a reasonable reload time just make this gun THE BEST tier 8 heavy tank gun, maybe on par with the Caernarvon. People compare this gun to a Lorraine gun but there's not even remotely any comparison. If you hit 2.5 damaging shots on average in the Lorraine, you hit 4 damaging shots on this tank per mag. The turret is small and the hull armour is pretty good at bouncing shots when you use that smexy -10. This thing has 90mm side! Side scraping is pretty doable in this. What I don't get is how this tank is actually pretty mobile. The traverse is good but it has 12.5 horsepower per ton and not very good soft stats and still can easily reach and maintain 37 kph.

Deliberate replied to Deus__Ex__Machina's topic in Upcoming Changes DiscussionThis is laughable At the end of the day, the problem with the 268v4 are not the small micro problems like cupolas, it's the fundamental problem that it's a broken concept. Wargaming want to nerf it to 'maintain its role as a fast breakthrough tank' but the thing is that a 'fast breakthrough tank' is just an intrinsically broken idea. Breakthrough tanks are supposed to be slow and reinforce the tanks which have occupied key positions first. No matter how you try to nerf it, as long as it's a 'fast breakthrough tank™', it will be broken. It may stop being OP but it will still be broken. Sure, you can nerf the cupola, you can nerf the gun and reverse speed but that's just going to make it more frustrating to play and not improve the game. Players will still be forced to just ignore Malinovka hill in a medium tank because that 268v4 is going to get there first and you can't deal with him. Look WG, you tried to introduce something unique, a fast breakthrough tank. It didn't work. You'll have to either take away the fast or take away the breakthrough. There's no other real solution. This is a lazy and malicious cop out. This is their way of putting on an image of dealing with the problem without actually dealing with the problem. These people are disgusting.
Holy shit, I don't know about you guys but I'm enjoying the shit outta this tank. Maybe it's because I play on the ASIA server where there's more goldspam than the other servers so the M4 51 armour doesn't work but holy shit, the mobility, sick gun handling on the 130 (0.35 on a 130mm gun!) and the armour is pretty Kreygasm. One thing I've noticed is that it's pretty inconsistent where good games are great and bad games are ebola, but maybe I'm just getting used to the tank. First session, 18 games, just over 3.8k DPG. Had some bad luck with some bad teams at first (268v4s bouncing 0 damage) but dragged winrate up a bit at the end. Gonna see if I can get it more consistent and go over 4k.

It's the last event of the PGA Tour's Fall Series this week. Robert Garrigus defends the title at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic at Walt Disney World.
There's an added dimension to this week's PGA Tour event – both the number 1 and 2 ranked players on the 2011 money list are teeing it up in an effort to secure the coveted number 1 slot. After last week's second place finish in the McGladrey Classic, Webb Simpson has overtaken Luke Donald at the head of the ranking. But the Englishman can reclaim that position and secure the money list title with a victory here. If Donald does win, Simpson needs to finish alone in second to hold on to the top slot. If Donald doesn't win, Simpson can seal the deal with an eighth place finish or better.
The tournament is contested over the Palm and Magnolia golf courses at the Walt Disney World Resort. It's one round on each layout before the leading pros go on to play two further rounds of the Magnolia Course.
The event began life in 1971 as the Walt Disney World Open Invitational and the great Jack Nicklaus won the first three. Since then, other famous names like Payne Stewart, Ray Floyd, Mark O'Meara and Tiger Woods have lifted the trophy.
Last year Robert Garrigus produced a superb final round of 64 to take the title here. He finished three clear of Roland Thatcher.
Venue: Disney's Magnolia and Palm Courses, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date: Oct 20-23
Course stats: Magnolia par 72, 7,516 yards; Palm par 72, 7,010 yards
Purse: $4,700,000 Winner: $846,000
Defending Champion: Robert Garrigus (-21)
TV Coverage:
Thursday 20 – Live on Sky Sports 3 from 7pm
Friday 21 – Live on Sky Sports 3 from 7pm
Saturday 22 – Live on Sky Sports 3 from 7pm
Sunday 23 – Live on Sky Sports 1 form 7pm
Player Watch:
Luke Donald – The World Number 1 has been the most consistent performer in world golf over the past 18 months. He hasn't played in this event since 2003 but he has a significant incentive to secure a win – if he does that he could well sew up the money list title.
Justin Rose – He has an excellent record in this tournament with one third and two fourth place finishes to his name. He had a great end to his season including a victory in the BMW Championship. He holds the course record on the Palm Course here – a 60 recorded in 2006.
Trevor Immelman – He finished fifth last week at the McGladrey Classic – his first top-10 on the PGA Tour for three years. Perhaps he could have rediscovered the form that earned him his Masters title. If so then watch out for him this week.
Key hole: 17th – Magnolia Course. A long par 4 of some 485 yards, it's generally considered the toughest hole on the Magnolia Course. The drive is over water then they'll be left with a mid or long iron into a tight green. This is a difficult hole to par if the pressure's on coming down the stretch.
Where next?

Meet James Selby. He was a DJ while still at school, and the only learner in South Africa to get 100% in the one-hour Applications Olympiad first round in 2016. James went on to achieve a silver medal in the finals.
James Selby receiving his silver medal
from Barbara Mallinson, CEO of Obami
When asked recently what he would say to learners about the benefit of taking part in the Applications Olympiad he replied "it's a great opportunity to widen what you can do in CAT" (Computer Applications Technology, the school subject).
Two years later James still runs his small business, Xtreme Sensory Productions. He recently added website design to his DJ work and says that learning HTML code for CAT was useful for this website work.
James is currently studying to be a Chartered Accountant at the Pearson Institute of Higher Education in Bedfordview. He says his second year course is not too difficult but he does find that the "amount of content" is challenging.
Being able to use computer applications is fast becoming essential for study and work. Applications help learners to make sense of data. They gain insight as they organize data to produce information that leads to useful knowledge and informed Insight. Making full use of word processing, spreadsheet and database applications is a key skill in today's diverse world. The Applications Olympiad is designed to check skill in using applications from a basic level. But also to access data in fresh ways that may not have been taught in the classroom.
Round 1 of the 2018 Computer Applications Olympiad is easier than last year. There are also fewer questions, 20 not 25, giving more time to work out answers. All learners who are computer literate can benefit as they take part, including those who study CAT or IT. The questions test learners' skills to make sense of data in different formats: word processing, spreadsheets and databases.
The First Round of the Applications Olympiad runs at participating schools from 7 to 11 May at any convenient time. It costs nothing to enter.
The Solutions Booklet with its varied ways to tackle each question is popular with teachers. It is emailed to schools soon after the contest. The offline marking remains quick and simple; one word or one number answers – either right or wrong. Where learners write the contest online, there is no marking at all for the teacher. Bronze, silver and gold certificates are awarded to the top 50% of learners across the country.
Round 2 is on Wednesday 6 June. It is a one hour contest and is online only. Those learners who qualify for Round 2 will stand a chance to earn Provincial Certificates and to be invited to the Finals in Cape Town on 26 June (all expenses paid).
At the Finals medals and cash prizes are awarded to the winners and to their schools.

Colourpop Series: The Zodiac Collection
What's your sign? This is a question I've asked many people because I'm that intrigued by the zodiac. Astrology is something that I have often been curious to learn more about. I even had to find out what time I was born just so I could discover the details of my birth chart. I know, pretty serious stuff. So when I heard that Colourpop was collaborating with Kathleen Lights to create a zodiac collection, I jumped for joy. I just find it so intriguing and this stuff is pretty complex. I'll share some information I read on a site I found, below.
The Zodiac signs
There are 12 zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people. By analyzing the projection of the position of planets, and the Sun and the Moon on the Ecliptic at the moment of birth. Astrology can give you a glimpse of a person's basic characteristics, preferences, flaws and fears. Each of the 12 horoscope signs belongs to one of the four elements – Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These elements represent an essential type of energy that acts in each of us.
The Four Elements
Water Signs
Water signs are exceptionally emotional and ultra-sensitive. They are highly intuitive and they can be as mysterious as the ocean itself. The Water Signs are: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
Fire Signs
Fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. They get angry quickly, but they also forgive easily. They are adventurers with immense energy. The Fire Signs are: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Earth Signs
Earth signs are "grounded" and the ones that bring us down to earth. They are mostly conservative and realistic, but they can also be very emotional. The Earth Signs are: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
Air Signs
Air signs are rational, social, and love communication and relationships with other people. They are thinkers, friendly, intellectual, communicative and analytical. The Air Signs are: Gemini, Libraand Aquarius.
Within astrology, there are three main signs that are considered to be the most important for describing who you are: your Sun sign, Moon sign and Ascendant or rising sign. While your Sun sign determines your basic ego, self-image and personality, your Moon sign determines your inner emotions, intuitions, feelings, thoughts and instincts. Finally, your Ascendant sign determines how the world sees and perceives you.
I'm a Capricorn and I can give loads of information on why I think "Capricon's" rule Lol! Joking! But Capricorn-born people are generally known to be the most determined of the entire Zodiac. The most prominent qualities of the Goats, as we are called, are that we are ambitious, conservative, determined, practical and helpful.
Our Positive Qualities: Faithful, Ambitious, Self-controlled, Determined, Responsible, Sincere
Negative Qualities: Shy, Pessimistic, Awkward, Detached, Gloomy, Stubborn.
Anyways, enough about the astrology talk. Let's get into chatting about the items I purchased from this collection. The seven-piece Zodiac Collection includes two lipsticks, two liquid eye shadows, two highlighters, and an eye shadow palette all inspired by Kathleen Lights's passion for the zodiac. I purchased the eyeshadow palette and one lipstick.
The Zodiac Palette – $18
I must admit that I wasn't overly wowed when Kathleen Lights revealed the palette. I love that each shade is a close representation of the signs but the palette didn't look cohesive enough. This is, strangely enough, the reason why I bought it. I looked at the swatches of each shade and thought that they were all unique.
Encased in a black cardboard outer box with the sign's symbols printed all around it. The actual palette comes in their usual durable cardboard in a stunning navy blue colour which the same zodiac symbols printed in gold. The palette also comes with a great size mirror which is always well received by beauty fanatics. The shade names are not only printed on the back of the palette but also under each pan.
Eyeshadows and Pigmentation
This palette has 12 shadows which consist of a satin, 4 matte and 7 shimmery/metallic finishes. For the most part, the shadows perform beautifully. They blend really well and have great pigmentation. The shimmery/metallic shades perform really well with a dry brush and look extra foiled with a wet brush. The cobalt blue shade" The Aquarius" is the only disappointing shade. It's very powdery and tends to have a difficult time sticking to your lid. It's one of those shades where you have to blend…and blend……………and blend.
Shade description
The Aries: This metallic firey orange is as bold as your confidence
The Taurus: You can rely on this matte camel brown, uh huh!
The Gemini: Express yourself in this metallic antique gold
The Cancer: This soft peachy pink with a golden sheen feels like home
The Leo: This soft coral with a gold flip is sure to grab your attention
The Virgo: You'll wear this matte dark chocolate brown with practically every look
The Libra: This matte light dusty rose brings balance to any look
The Scorpio: Share your passion with this rich metallic plum
The Sagittarius: Up for an adventure? Try this matte magenta purple
The Capricorn: Shoot for the stars with this black with gold glitter
The Aquarius: This matte periwinkle blue will unleash your creativity
The Pisces: Be a daydream believer in this vibrant metallic aqua
I have 3 favourites shades from this palette, which are "The Pisces", " the Gemini" and "the Cancer". I find these shades so unique and the quality is just out of this world. So easy to apply, looks gorgeous on the eyes and wears well for over 8 hours without any crazy fading.
Lux Lipstick – $7
I'm more of a liquid lipstick girl but I've recently been reaching more for my tradition lipsticks. I try and give my lips a break from the matte liquid lipsticks by continuously making use of different finishes.
ColourPop launched of their Lux Lipsticks a while back and I have a few in my collection. I will share a detailed review on the packaging, formula and lip swatches in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
What's your sign is a bit of a neutral nude shade with some orangey-brown tones. It's such a gorgeous nude shade on my skin tone. The lipstick feels hydrating on the lips with full colour pay off in one swipe.
Final Thoughts
I have seen so many people get creative with this eyeshadow palette! The colour selection is not exactly common for a palette, and many like me, who aren't makeup artists, have complained at its lack of cohesiveness. BUT, I've seen so many YouTube videos of unique colour pairings. This gets me really excited because it forces me to try different looks.
Overall, this palette is really pretty. I don't think you need to rush out and buy it unless you are in love with these shades and don't have anything else like it.
The lipstick is stunning and if you're into comfortable nude lipsticks then you won't go wrong with this one.
Do you like the colour range of this palette? Would you purchase it? Also, what's your sign? I'm quite curious to know lol

The week's 6 best concerts: July 30-Aug. 2
At the Cedar this week, you can see an Afrobeat prince one night and a band of black metal critics' darlings the next. Now that is some wide-ranging concert booking.
Monday 7.30
Debths and George Marich Trio @ IcehouseThe description of Debths is how you'd imagine a band of this name to sound: "Trio drones, sirens and beacons. Orbital pitches suspended in time and space. Wasteland liturgies in memoriam of Heavenly Palace." Drummer George Marich takes the second set with the peripatetic Josh Granowski on bass and Ted Godbout on piano. 9:30 p.m. $10. 2528 Nicollet Ave. S., Minneapolis. More info here.—Britt Robson
Complete Monday music listings here.
Tuesday 7.31
Femi Kuti & the Positive Force @ Cedar Cultural Center
In the two decades since his father's death, Femi Kuti has established himself as a fierce Afrobeat force in his own right, incorporating his own spin of contemporary and global elements while fortifying its core. Fela Kuti founded Afrobeat's bristling alliance of tradition, funk, jazz, and political advocacy, which are all still embraced by Femi on February's One People One World. Besides mitigating some of his anger with more positive takes on progressive sociopolitical activism, the music glistens with fresh infusions of reggae, soul and soca, buoyed by his charismatic high tenor voice and alto saxophone. 26 Bats! open. 8 p.m. $50—$55. 416 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis. More info here.—Rick Mason

Wednesday 8.1
Deafheaven @ Cedar Cultural Center

Valuable Accuracy
The Fluke 62's D/S ratio is a reasonably customary 12:1, but precisely wherever most rivals will supply you with you mounted emissivity, the Fluke sixty two savings variable emissivity amongst 0.1 and 1. Which means that you are in a position to calibrate the thermometer to every ground you examine. It entails a tad a lot more do the task, nevertheless the precision you've got in return permits alot a bit more exact suggestions. The Fluke sixty two MAX Plus infrared thermometer also presents equally Fahrenheit and Celsius readings. Its fluctuate is sizable at -22°F to 1,202°F and -30°C to 650°C. A class-leading precision of just ±1% can be a special of its most significant features. Inquiries to Inquire When picking an Infrared Thermometer If you have uncovered a selected infrared thermometer you like, make an effort and hard work to find out the responses to these queries ahead of selecting to obtain it.
What is certainly the temperature variety of the infrared thermometer?
An infrared thermometer by using a larger temperature array presents a greater number of plans. Not positively anyone standards an infrared thermometer to detect heat locations; some infrared thermometers let towards measurement of unbelievably chilly temperatures. To paraphrase, it takes place to be not just high-end temperatures which make a variance for many users. Low-end temperatures are important, way too.
In most cases, you could be doubtless to identify infrared thermometers have gotten a temperature multitude of all through -60°F to 930°F. Pricier goods geared towards industry experts could furnish a fair bigger temperature change.
DID You be aware of?
Some infrared thermometers have two lasers to help frame the room you will be measuring.
How specific in most cases is considered the infrared thermometer?
Two components can influence the precision of an infrared thermometer: distance-to-spot ratio (D/S) and emissivity.
• Distance-to-spot ratio serves as being a establish that permits you to definitely in reality know very well what space location an infrared thermometer can examine and from how significantly away. A D/S of 14:1, for example, commonly indicates which the thermometer can assess a one-inch extensive place about 14 inches absent. The farther you move from the focus on in issue, the significantly less specific your on the lookout at will be.
Having said that, attaining pack up just isn't about to mechanically translate to the increased degree of accuracy. Appropriately, the D/S determine enables you to know the the best doable size for an actual shopping by using. Emissivity has got to do by using an object's reflectivity. Any time you utilize an infrared thermometer, you come about to be directing a beam of mild at an merchandise. You can't see it, but which is principally how this sort of product operates.
Your inspecting can be impacted by an object's emissivity, and that is relatively basically how reflective it is actually unquestionably. For any person who is seeking to browse through the region temperature of a shiny chrome steel pan, for example, you can doubtless get an inaccurate studying as the pan is absolutely not very seriously emissive.
Some infrared thermometers enable you to modify for emissivity in the event that it is really important to consider an item with affordable emissivity that cannot take in the light emitted along with the gadget. Infrared Thermometer Pricing Quality isn't about to deviate with worthy of very rather a great deal pertaining to infrared thermometers. Most house owners will not demand to speculate above $80 to $100 for your personal great 1. Trade industry experts who desire a great deal additional precision when measuring should really go for an infrared thermometer with trusted precision. These infrared thermometers will quite in all likelihood cost in surplus of $100

Etekcity Lasergrip 774 Non-contact Electronic Laser IR Infrared Thermometer
Quickly Reaction Time The Etekcity Lasergrip's D/S ratio may be a reasonably regular 12:1, but its reaction time - time it may necessitate to sign up a temperature - is under fifty % of a following, that's fairly breathtaking for similar to a low-cost infrared thermometer. Emissivity is mounted at 0.ninety 5. (The very least emissivity is 0; utmost is 1.) The Etekcity's emissivity has a tendency to make functioning the thermometer more beneficial. In spite of this, this means that issues with massively reflective surfaces can provide deceptive successes.
• Calibrate your infrared thermometer earlier to by making use of it to be a number of precision.
• The longevity and construction of an infrared thermometer worries, especially for website visitors who use this tool over a day by day basis for functionality.
• Acquire see of the battery design important for your special infrared thermometer before you decide to definitely order it.
• An infrared thermometer can provide flooring temperature readings but are struggling to provide you interior temperature readings. For this reason you will aspire to do not ever use an infrared thermometer to guage the inside temperature of meat or other cooked food items goods.
• In case you propose to guage the temperature of reflective objects, go for the thermometer that will be altered for emissivity.
Q. Can i use an infrared thermometer to examine the temperature of meat I'm cooking?
A. No. You are going to will need a meat thermometer for that. Infrared thermometers can show you the temperature in the area of the meat but not the temperature inside the meat. Depending on an infrared thermometer to examine the interior temperature of meat is basically an unsafe use.
Q. What's the laser for? Will it measure heat?
A. No. The laser's function is just to help you immediate the thermometer. It is not going to aid appraise warmth in any way.
Q. How do I take advantage of an infrared thermometer?
A. Most infrared thermometers bought for home use features while in the point-and-shoot approach. Only level the thermometer with the item you would like to evaluate and click on on to get a looking at as a result of. The laser that emits for the gadget enables guide you as soon as you location and shoot.
Q. Why would I exploit an infrared thermometer to check the temperature of my pan when cooking?
A. That may be a great problem. Some could quite possibly seek making use of this sort of machine whilst while in the kitchen area space to be considerably of overkill. But an infrared thermometer is really a useful tool that could permit beginner cooks familiarize on their own have with cooking temperatures. Stove key knobs remember to you shouldn't supply suitable temperature influence, so an infrared thermometer normally requires the guesswork out of temperature adjustment when earning use of a pan to sear, fry, or sauté. Scores of cooks are likely to overheat their pans, which damages them and capability purchasers to overcooking. An infrared thermometer can offer you with a few suggestions and aid make you a far better prepare dinner supper.

The impact of AGVs in the Industry 4.0 (Industrie 4.0) is supposed to be outstanding. Based on the experience that we have at R3 Communications, the industry envisions shop floors where machines, AGVs and humans interact seamlessly with each other. An excellent example of this interaction is illustrated by the following use case: cooperative transport of assets using AGVs platooning. In a platoon of AGVs, several AGVs work together, mirroring each other to perform a task.
As it might have already crossed your mind, the platoons of AGVs need to perform their task efficiently while meeting the safety requirements of the industry. Rather than focusing on the control of the AGVs, this blog entry focuses on how EchoRing contributes to the safety requirements of this AGVs application. First, we show how EchoRing provides an ultra-available link that prevents the AGVs from going to the emergency state, making the process more efficient. Second, we show how EchoRing enables a new concept of Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button.
Nowadays, it is ubiquitous to find cranes moving large or heavy assets in what is called the heavy industry, and it is, in fact, a desire that AGVs substitute those cranes. To show the impact of the safety functionalities in such a scenario, in this blog entry we focus on one particular highly demanded use case (?!): you want to take an elephant out of the room using four AGVs.
An operator monitors the AGVs while they take the elephant (asset) out of the room
It is widely known that human safety is a crucial topic within the industry. Therefore, machine builders take that into account when designing and manufacturing their machines. Without getting into too many details, there are some essential concepts that help us to understand how a machine can operate safely. Essentially, a machine needs to be compliant with the functional safety requirements, often using industrial safety protocols, which, when triggered by certain events, bring the machine into the emergency [stop] state. Some of these events are self-driven decisions by the machines while other events are human-driven.
Typical machine-driven decision examples are a communication loss among the machines, and a machine stopping because some sensor data indicates that there is some dangerous situation in the surroundings, e.g. a person opens a door that should be closed during a manufacturing process.
As per human-driven events, the most common one is the activation of an E-Stop button to enable a human operator to stop the machine whenever there is a critical situation. It is important to remark that in the manufacturing and automation industries, it is infrequent to see any type of machine without an E-Stop button attached to it.
In a typical industrial bus structure, there are several machines in a wired network that exchange control and safety information with very short time frames. Standard deadlines for safety protocols are in the vicinity of 10 ms. Understandably, safety protocols do not adapt the deadlines depending on the communications technology (wired or unwired), but they rely on the safety requirements of each application. In this way, if a machine does not receive the safety information before the deadline, it goes directly to the emergency state. Anytime that any machine goes into the emergency, the machine stops working, and usually, an operator needs to restart the machine personally to restore the motive power, i.e. bring the machine back to work. As you might have already thought, this process is time-consuming and, the longer the machine stays in the emergency state, the longer the machine is not producing, leading to an efficiency decrease. Also, as we all know… Time is money.
Going back to our AGVs platooning example: if the technology used to synchronise the machines is WiFi, the needed availability of the wireless link will not be guaranteed, especially if there are two or more participants in the network. As WiFi is an unsynchronised technology, the on average achieved latency will be around 50 ms (5 times the typical 10 ms deadline mentioned before) or even higher. In other words, as the latency in a WiFi network will never be guaranteed (check other blog posts), relevant safety packets in such a network will be delivered even much later than 50 ms. In this scenario, there is a high likelihood that the machines go into the safe state very often, decreasing too much the productivity and efficiency of the application.
Let's assume now that while the AGVs take the elephant out of the room, an operator crosses the platoon's path. In that case, one of the AGVs might detect the operator and go into the safe state, completely stopping its course. At this point, to guarantee that the operator (human) is not hurt and the elephant (asset) is not damaged, the other three AGVs should stop. If they don't, the outcome might be catastrophic.
Another worker crosses the AGVs' path; one AGV detects him and stops; the other AGVs don't stop; the operator pushes the E-Stop but the signal does not propagate
As mentioned before, WiFi does not meet current safety deadlines for the propagation of safety signals in such a scenario. Therefore, other solutions/technologies should be screened, potentially adding more complexity and cost in the development of the AGVs.
With EchoRing, the two challenges presented in the previous section can be tackled at the same time.
First, the low-latency performance of EchoRing guarantees a single-digit latency, meeting the 10 ms deadline for safety applications. With the correct propagation of the safety packets among all the network participants, the likelihood that the AGV goes into the emergency state decreases. With the emergency state happening less often, the productivity and efficiency of the application increase, which solves the efficiency challenge explained in the previous section.
Second, with a distributed and cooperative network like EchoRing, the propagation of a safety signal is guaranteed, which ensures the safety of both the operator that crosses the AGVs path and the asset carried by the AGVs: once the front AGV detects the operator, it goes to the emergency state and instantly propagates that information to the other AGVs.
Another worker crosses the AGVs' path; one AGV detects him and stops; the signal is propagated to the other AGVs and all stop safely
There might be a need that an operator actively stops the whole platoon by her/his own choice. As mentioned before, each machine has its own E-Stop button. However, when dealing with moving machinery, and with short reaction time, pressing the button physically attached to an AGV might be, at least, challenging. With EchoRing, an entirely new concept of E-Stop button that would stop all the AGVs remotely becomes possible.
With one single remote E-Stop, an operator could stop all AGVs remotely, ensuring its safety, and that of the asset. The safety signal would be broadcasted in a deterministic manner to all stations and automatically propagated in case of need.
In the same way as the machines can be stopped remotely, EchoRing would also provide the needed communications interface for a remote restart of the machines. With this feature, the operator wouldn't need to personally restart the machine, making the whole process even safer.
The operator realises that the door closes, pushes the E-Stop and it remotely stops all the AGVs
EchoRing can integrate into an AGV in different ways, always depending on the size and type of vehicle.
The most straight forward and common integration would be with an EchoRing Wireless Bridge via an Ethernet interface. Relatively big AGVs incorporate a "switching" cabinet making possible the allocation of a radio module and allowing for the needed connecting interfaces. As we can see, the integration in this sense is close to plug-and-play.
Another integration possibility for smaller AGVs would be a deeper integration of the EchoRing Radio Board into the own vehicle's logic. This solution is slightly more complicated yet more compact (see the previous blog entry). Along the same lines of integration goes the new concept of E-Stop button mentioned above. However, the E-Stop button would likely be a part of a module with more functionalities like a teaching panel, which is a topic that we will cover in this very blog soon.

The study program has been developed with the aim of providing our students with an academic foundation that serves as a basis for their graduate degree studies and for development as researchers, as well as training them as software developers who are capable of meeting technological challenges in the rapidly changing field of computerization. The study material is also designed to provide them with the ability to manage complex environments that include interfacing with hardware and communications, and to equip them with basic mathematical tools for developing algorithms in different areas.
The requirement for a BSc degree is to complete 126 credits. Two core programs are offered: a single-major program and a dual-major program. In the single-major program, the students take courses from the Department of Computer Science alone, with the exception of 6 credits from other areas, to expand their horizons. Graduates of this program are awarded a B.Sc. in computer science. In the dual-major program, about half the credits are earned in the Department of Computer Science, and the rest are earned in one of the following departments: Economics and Management, Education, Psychology, or Multidisciplinary Studies. Graduates of this program are awarded a combined B.A. in computer science and the subject of the other department chosen. The decisive majority of students of the Department of Computer Science are enrolled in the single-major program.
The Single-Major Program
A six-semester schedule starts both on Fall and Spring terms, with the first three semesters dedicated to fundamentals in Mathematics and Computing.
Two tracks are offered to allow our students to develop depth in a certain specialization:
Software Development Track
This track concentrates on the subjects required in the software industry. In addition to the foundation in mathematics and the theoretical aspects of computer science, the emphasis in this track is placed on different industry-related subjects, such as programming languages in advanced development environments, object-oriented programming, computer communication, software engineering, operating systems, programming in the internet environment, databases, information security, and cryptology. In this track, students earn 87 credits from required courses and 39 credits from the electives offered in the department, with a maximum of 6 credits taken in other departments. A student needs a total of 126 credits to graduate with a degree.
Digital Signal Processing Track
This track allows students to specialize in an area that is in very high demand in the industry and in research. In addition to the foundation in mathematics and the required courses of computer science, and after learning the basic principles of digital signal processing, this track focuses on subjects such as image and video processing and compression, audio signal processing, and DSP in real-time. The emphasis of the studies is on digital signal processing algorithms and their implementation. The studies include courses such as signal and image compression, real-time digital signal processing, speech and audio signal processing, pattern recognition and machine learning, video processing, and more. In this track, the students earn 99 credits in required courses, most of which are shared by the two tracks, and 27 credits in electives specific to the track, with a maximum of 6 credits taken in other departments. A student needs a total of 126 credits to graduate with a degree.
Students may elect, in the framework of their 126 credits, to fulfill the requirements of both tracks.
Electives are either in the form of standard courses, or workshops and projects:

Keeping Cool with Hot Jobs
Pricing hot jobs is a hot topic in the compensation arena.
Hot jobs typically fit into two categories:
• A new/emerging job typically requiring specialized skills
• An existing job with high demand and low supply of skilled laborers for the job
Why is this such an area of concern for HR and Compensation professionals?
There is a lack of accurate and up-to-date compensation survey data for hot jobs. In addition, it's difficult to stay ahead of the game in identifying which jobs are hot.
Recommended market pricing strategy will vary based on the scenario for a given hot job. The table below will help guide you to prevalent practice based on your hot job scenario:
Bonuses and incentives can also be used to enhance a compensation package for hot job candidates:
• Sign-on bonuses to attract hot job talent to your organization
• Retention bonuses to keep your hot job talent
• Performance-based bonus rewards
• More frequent rewards (i.e. semi-annual or quarterly bonuses instead of annual)
• Project-based or spot bonuses
• Long-term incentive plans

Hot job compensation strategy is a challenge for many organizations as it is an ever-changing landscape.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Denmark Chapter of Safari Club International.
Denmark is the biggest trophy hunting nation in the world!
In Denmark we have a long and very proud trophy hunting tradition. For more than 50 years a considerable number of Danes have travelled the world in search of hunting experiences. Denmark has therefore become the biggest trophy hunter nation in the world, measured pr. capita, with an estimated 10.000 active trophy hunters. The total number of hunters is a staggering 170.000 out of a population of only 6 million inhabitants.
Danish hunters are also the second largest nationality of hunter, to hunt in South Africa, only surpassed by US hunters. This is rather impressive as the total Danish population is only 2% of that of the US.
In Denmark both hunting and trophy hunting is well perceived by society at large and we do not encounter many of the perjuries that hunters will meet in other countries. The benefits that hunting brings to wildlife and their habitat are well known and the debate is far more sober and less emotional.

Inflammation is defined throughout the Atlanta Chiropractic community as a localized reaction to infection, irritation, or injury that leads to:
- Warmth
- Swelling
- Redness
- Pain
Inflammation can be internal or external and is recognized as the body's way of preventing sudden injury or infections from worsening.
Atlanta Chiropractic Treatment for Inflammation
However, when inflammation becomes a constant source of concern, the immune system starts to mistake normal cells as foreign intruders and attacks it.
This process becomes destructive to your entire health and can cause critical long-term damage if left ignored or untreated.
If you suffer from severe inflammation within your joints, muscles, or tissue, adjusting your diet might be the answer to living a pain- life
Foods To Avoid and Include When It Comes To Inflammation
Foods like white sugar, dairy, alcohol, and flour are all responsible for causing inflammation. Removing foods that are high in trans-fats should also be considered.
Instead, substitute these types of food with:
- Blueberries
- Dark leafy vegetables
- Oranges
- Fatty fish (not farm raised)
- Cashews
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Saffron
- Garlic
- Ginger
Visit Our Atlanta Chiropractors For Best Results
Adjusting your diet is the first step toward reducing inflammation for the long haul.
It is also highly recommended to receive regular Chiropractic care.
Our Chiropractors can provide precise adjustments that keep your spine and nervous system healthy by eliminating the root causes of inflammation.
Most insurance providers cover the costs associated with Chiropractic treatment, and our staff is available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have.
If this is your first time visiting our office, we offer consultation meetings so that you have the opportunity to meet with your potential Chiropractor and learn more about the examination process.
We welcome walk-in visits and appointments can be scheduled within the week by filling out our online submission form, or by calling us at (404) 889-8828.

The Barbar ECO 8000 Blow Dryer uses the latest in technology by having an eco-friendly ceramic heating element, as opposed to all standard dryers that have a coil heating element. The difference is use of electricity & output of radiation. The ECO 8000 has 5.0 mG (milligauss) output radiation. A standard 1,800 WATT dryer has over 200.0 mG! This amount of mG is comparable to the radiation output of a microwave. The ceramic heating element lasts 5x longer than a coil heating element. The ceramic heating element uses 90% electricity, turning it into heat. No energy is wasted, but saved. The coil heating element wastes electricity because it doesn't use it, thus turning it into radiation. Unused electricity turns into radiation! The BARBAR ECO 8000 is truly eco-friendly; everything a blow dryer should be and much more.

When the mind is chattering to fast and the thoughts not uplifting me, I find that it is time to sit on the ground. I love soft patches of grass or beach sand or any river bank works well for me. Reconnect to earth and listen. Listen to the wind talking through the trees, listen to the grass waving in the wind. Feel the chill in the air as nature tells you that winter is coming.
I think it is why I love the book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho...the boy listened to the world around him, where ever he found himself, and it guided him along the way.
The mind is a tool, and we can use it to create whatever we want, through our thoughts. Our emotions are the assistant tool to the mind/thoughts, they tell us the prevailing energy of our thoughts, our mind, determining what we will attract. Our thoughts are either uplifting us or bringing us down. When we think of what we don't want or things that will bring us what we don't want, we feel down and inversely when we feel uplifted, we are usually thinking of something we want or have that makes us happy.
( my thoughts where interrupted by my husband Carl calling. It immediately lifted me up and brought good feelings of love and gratitude. I love him for who he is and all the wonderful changes he has helped create in my life and it makes me feel happy, uplifted)
Our love and how it makes me feel is an aid at a time when I need to shift my energy from a low frequency to a higher one (from what I don't want, to what I do have and more of what I do wish to have)
With the energy of appreciating and loving what we already have, we create the frequency/ energy to attract the life we wish to experience, the person we chose to be etc.
It is up to us to find the things (tools) that can help us feel happy and uplifted all the time.
I have mentioned two of the tools that seems to work for me, but I have many more that I have accumulated along my journey in life and the most important one for me, is emotional clearing/healing.
My feeling is that I am responsible for the world and situations I find myself in at all times. I question what I see and feel and pay attention to the things and situations in my life that solicit the most intense feelings, good or bad. Through these instances I recognize that world around me is communicating with me AND how I am interacting with it. (The energy that I am feeling and putting out there) It also gives me the clues as to what wounds or triggers I may have that need to be healed/cleared. (so I don't keep putting out there what I don't like or desire)
I am lucky that emotional clearing and healing is my passion and know that it helps me to be healthy in body, mind and spirit. I have a whole network of healers that I work with for my personal healing and I love sharing what I have learned and experienced through my interactions and in my own practice.

There are a lot of sayings and cliches that have been written about food. Implement the provided tips to step up your cooking skills.
If you keep herbs and spices handy, make sure you are keeping them in a dark, cool area. Their flavor will suffer if they are exposed to heat, humidity, and light. Spices and herbs that are ground usually retain their flavor for close to a year. Whole spices can stay fresh for up to five years. When stored in the correct place, they will keep their freshness for longer.
To prevent wasting costly meat, test out your spice mixture on one small piece prior to adding it to the rest of the meat. Certain foods like hamburgers, meatloaf and meatballs have certain kinds of seasonings. To ensure your seasoning is correct, do not cook all the mwat at one time. Section off a small bit and cook it. After that, you can either cook the rest or adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Boiling takes time and removes the nutrients from veggies. For the most nutritious vegetables, employ fast cooking methods or, better yet, consume raw veggies.
It is always better to choose fresh ingredients for your recipes instead of dried or frozen ones. Fresh ingredients can really enhance the flavor of your meal, as well as be more economical to prepare.
By doing so, the mushrooms will absorb the water like a sponge. Try using a clean, wet cloth and wiping them off instead.
Every six months to one year, replace spices that have grown dull. When spices are stored for too long, their flavor degrades, resulting in a less potent spice. Share your spices with friends or relatives if you will not use as much as you buy.
You must stay organized so that you don't burn any food. A well-organized cooking area is conducive to great results. When you are disorganized, misplacing items or making food inedible becomes much more likely.
If you are preparing macaroni and cheese dishes, you must always closely follow the directions on the recipe. The macaroni will turn out great and when you melt the cheese on top, it is even better. When serving the macaroni with cheese, a good faced spoon works best. Spice it up with some type of pepper!
Food is essential to life and has amazing power over people. So, use the knowledge you have acquired from this article to impress your friends and family.

Now the Story of a Wealthy Family Who Lost Everything
The Astor Orphan
(Ecco, 2013)
Toward the end of The Astor Orphan, as Alexandra Aldrich, a descendant of the Astor, Chanler, and Livingston families (among others), prepares for her boarding school interviews at the age of 14, she describes her life: "[My] home is a mansion that was built in the early 19th century but is now in considerable disrepair . . . People often tell me I should write the story of my family's more recent history. What's so interesting about it, you ask? Although my family's directly descended from American aristocracy, my parents are rather . . . bohemian." "Bohemian," in this case, is a euphemism for penniless.
Aldrich effectively summarizes the memoir's entire conflict in a few sentences, and it's not much of one. The book describes Aldrich's early life at Rokeby—the Astor estate in the Hudson River Valley, a 43-room mansion sitting on 450 acres—between the ages of 10 and 14, a time when her desire for stability was repeatedly thwarted by a mother who was largely uninterested in her, a father caught up in an affair and an irretrievable past, and a grandmother who paid for her violin lessons and clothes but was quickly becoming a severe alcoholic.
Aldrich's writing is pleasant, if at times, overly imagistic—for example, "foamy, golden ale" and "bitter, burning liquid" instead of "beer." Aldrich also has a habit of forcing meaning through the use of single-sentence paragraphs at the end of a chapter. After writing that her father had various shotguns for hunting, she finishes the chapter with the sentence-long paragraph, "He used one of these to kill a pig for the square dance." But the suspense implied by this formatting is unnecessary. It would make sense if her father went on to kill a man, but he uses it to its express purpose, hunting, so the expected drama never comes to fruition. Although the conversations Aldrich restages are stiff and sometimes read as like a soap opera script—"Do you think that you can bully my children?"—they are effective in expressing family dynamics, which are driven by pettiness, passivity, and mutual dislike. Still, the memoir's opening chapters have a steady, meandering pace as we follow Aldrich through a typical day on the estate, through the fields, barns, and the molding and water-stained walls of the once-opulent mansion. She approaches her ancestors's foibles with a sense of humor and at times deploys family anecdotes to comedic effect. Aldrich knows that she has a font of lore to call upon, and she uses it.
Unfortunately, the past cannot prop up the primary narrative, which is largely a catalog of childhood grievances with little retrospective reflection. The greatest issue is that Aldrich's problems are not particular to a descendant of millionaires, and yet the book's very existence seems to indicate that they are. Essentially, it's hard to understand why we are meant to care about her preteen plight.
To be sure, the background of her day-to-day activities is pieces of American history and indicators of past social standing. Aldrich succeeds in making history tangible and quotidian, which it would be for a family of such legacy. The gramophone in their parlor was a personal gift from Thomas Edison. On one occasion, she and her father enter the front hall after a day tending to their tenants and her father's groundskeeping duties, and pass a marble plaque that reads: "in memoriam, Stanford White, architect and friend." That's Stanford White, of McKim, Mead, and White, the firm that designed, among other buildings, the New York Public Library, portions of the White House, and New York's original Penn Station. Rokeby is the means and the stage for "liv[ing] off the remains of our ancestral grandeur." It allows the family to display both its wealth and its cavalier attitude toward it—the luxury of not being awed by heirlooms that are not just familial but national.
But the fundamental disconnect between the family's present standing and her father's and uncle's upbringing, which drives the reader's interest in the narrative, could never be fully explored from a child's perspective. Alexandra's father and uncle went to boarding schools and were educated at Ivy League colleges, and then trust fund money ran out, as had the possibility of a gentleman's lifestyle. Yet her father still "hoped to find the essence of Rokeby now lost." Her uncle "dwelled in the past perfect," obsessed with keeping track of the family's material inheritance. But the question of why the family does not get jobs or seek alternate identities to the ones furnished by their class and social standing remains unanswered because a child's perspective, ultimately, is not particularly suited to telling the story of a family's failure to come to terms with its loss of status.
Rather, Aldrich relies on Freudian pop psychology to explain her father's problems. "Dad's defiance, lack of personal hygiene, and low self-esteem could be explained by the severe alcoholism of his parents," she writes. But this kind of unimaginative statement is precisely the problem with the whole book: her thinking regarding her family dynamics seems to have barely evolved past childhood slights and insecurities. And that's a shame, because there is Faulknerian potential in this narrative. Yes, this is a memoir and not fiction. But surely to be writing a memoir, you believe that your life has the makings of something stranger than fiction. And Aldrich's does. She just does not possess the narrative skill or perspective to communicate it.

Elena Ferrante's The Lying Life of AdultsBy John Domini
SEPT 2020 | Books
A violent intensity might erupt at any minute, an adolescent mood swing might hit like a tsunami, and yet the story maintains a canny and scrupulous realism. This author couldnt be more alert to psychologys delusions and societys con games. Shes both a cool cat and a bleeding heart, combining both in passage after passage that, just for starters, speak volumes about the skill and vitality Ann Goldstein brings to her translation.
All What I Want is LifeBy Ruba Al-Sweel
JUL-AUG 2020 | ArtSeen
Seldom is civil unrest in the Arab world discussed beyond hushed dinner conversations or in the context of economic decay on corporate roundtables. In Dubais center for photography, Gulf Photo Plus (GPP), however, its the topic du jour. A pictorial and filmic essay drawn from Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, and Sudan, All What I Want is Life takes its title from a cri de cur strewn across the walls of the Saadoun Tunnel in graffiti in Baghdad. This is an exhibition of protest photography, not photojournalism

Their Money or Your LifeBy Paul Mattick
MAY 2020 | Field Notes
The new virus, easier for the rich to guard against and to treat when stricken, illuminates the depth of social inequality and the general subordination of everyday life, including the requirements of human and animal health, to the economy, as we call the system subordinating the production of goods and services to the need of capitalist investors to accumulate profits.
