There is no doubt that a huge catastrophe visited the city of Bhopal, India, in the wee hours of December 3, 1984. But was the death toll 1,754 reckoned by the Indian government? The 8,000-plus claimed by ¿independent organizations¿? Or the 16,000-to-30,000 claimed by the ambulance-chasing lawyers? More than 500,000 Bhopalis suffered and continue to suffer from the effects of the toxic cloud of hydrocyanide acid, methyl isocyanite, phosgene and other deadly gasses¿eye and lung diseases, brain, muscle, joint, liver, kidney, reproductive, nervous and immune system ailments, chronic fevers, impotence, anorexia, depression, anxiety and suicide. But was Union Carbide chiefly responsible? Was it really an accident or deliberate sabotage? How liable was the government of India, which rescinded the visas of qualified American engineers, in its rush to nationalize the workforce and management? Who deactivated safety systems and postponed, then abandoned maintenance? Twenty years later, why has the Indian government still not distributed to the long-suffering survivors and the families of the victims the $470 million paid by Carbide? This enormous tragedy features a cast of thousands. Authors Lapierre and Moro try to give the massacre a human face¿for instance, Padmini, the young woman whose fairy-tale wedding ceremony was interrupted when she was struck down by the ¿geysers of death,¿ only to be rescued from a funeral pyre, about to be set alight, her eyelids quivering. An epic tragedy, well told, that leaves many questions unanswered.
Add me! I work at the factory. I actually live there. Pls add me!
It's awesome! I have a freakin ton of ponies though... You don't have to do all of them.
*"Good!" She writes*
Dawn slinks through the alleyway, kicking at the sludge-water collecting from the pounding rain. <p> He grumbles and glares up at the dark sky, shrouded in stormy clouds. <p> A fat raindrop splashes against his shades, making the air seem to ripple. <p> He pulls the shades off and scrubs them clean, staring down at the puddles least an unsuspecting pony pass by and stare. He quickly slips the shades back on and continues to travel through Ponyville. <p> It was quiet. <p> Abnormally quiet... <p> A couple walks by, illuminated by a lamp on a building. Their manes cling to them, soaked and glistening in the faint light. <p> Dawn hunches his shoulders and quickly make his way past. <p> He spreads his sodden wings and takes off, scattering a slew of droplets as he rose. <p> The dark blue pony was almost invisible against the darkness of the storm, only noticed by an old homeless pony when a strike of lightning lit the sky. <p> He travels up to Cloudsdale, ears flattened. <p> The wind tugs at his mane and tail, wet strands clumped together, whipping in the fiercy gale. <p> He shudders slightly and pushes against the winds, heading for a quiet, rusting building. <p> Once he reaches it, he slams the door shut and peers around at the still machines. <p> A thin smile traces his mouth. <p> The lights of the Rainbow Factory buzzed on, and the dark pony stepped into the light, smiling broader with satisfaction. <p> ~~~ <p> [ >:3 P.S. I will eventually get everpony... be patient... ~ Moone ]
I heard the author on NPR last year and bought the novel. It is a hard book to put down as you read of the main character and her family and the extreme poverty in India. The American company that brought so much hope to India ultimately betrayed the people in the worst possible way. You will not forget this book. An important novel.
This book will move you to tears. You will feel as if you are right there.

My comments in the other branch of this thread about using Forrest's own Ant are still relevant. However, i now see the error that you talk about. The reason that it did work for me was that i had done 'forrest' in the whiteboard/plugins/o.a.f...dispatcher/ directory before doing 'ant test'. This meant that the glossary plugin was already locally deloyed. For some reason our plugin 'test' Ant target only does a local deploy of the actual plugin that it is tesing and not the other plugins that are required by this plugin. -David

Samsung Announces Galaxy Tab
Android 2.2-powered, Flash-enabled, 7-inch touch screen.
Samsung hinted at the device in a teaser video last week, but now the company has officially announced its Galaxy Tab, an Android 2.2-powered tablet/smartphone hybrid. The device made its official debut at IFA 2010.
Similar to the Dell Streak, the Galaxy tab splits the difference between tablet and smartphone by featuring 3G HSUPA connectivity, along with a robust web browser, email, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, and full access to the Android Marketplace.
The device is powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz processor and features a 7-inch 1024x600 TFT-LCD display. It supports SD cards up to 32GB. The Galaxy Tab also features Samsung's own e-reader and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera that is capable of video conference over 3G. Robust video playback is built into the Galaxy Tab, as XviD, H.263, and DivX playback is supported into industry standard MPEG4 and H.246.
No firm release date has been given for the Galaxy Tab, but is slated to release in Q4 2010 in the US, but no date for Europe has been set yet. Pricing remains unannounced.
What about Linux and the Galaxy Tab?How about the implications for Linux users? For those who struggle mightily to keep ahead of Apple patches on their iPhone/iPad/iTouch so that they can pull files from their device, is there any discussion on how integrated this device might be in the Linux universe?

Will The Market Be Bullied By The Fed? 0 commentsJun 27, 2014 9:18 AM
Daily State of the Markets
Friday, June 27, 2014
While the vast majority of investors probably don't have the time nor the interest in watching the stock market on a minute-by-minute basis, one can learn an awful lot about what is actually driving prices by doing so.
Granted, it isn't important to watch every tick, every moment of every day. However, when something happens and the market makes a big move, watching the action closely - meaning on a one-minute chart - can really help one understand why Ms. Market may be doing what she is doing.
For example, stock futures had been modestly lower before the open on Thursday morning. The spread between where futures were trading and fair value suggested that the S&P 500 might open down between 2 and 4 points. Yet, 5 minutes after the opening bell, the S&P was down 8 and dropping like a rock. And after 22 minutes, the S&P had lost nearly 15 points.
To be sure, a 15 point drop isn't anything to write home about these days - especially with the market having defied the majority of analysts by continuing to trudge higher since the middle of April. However, it was the manner in which the 15 S&P points came off that was the key.
In short, anyone expecting to see another sleepy summer morning in stocks was surely surprised by the sudden dance to the downside.
Take a peek at the 1-minute chart of the S&P shown below and you'll see what we're talking about.
S&P 500 1-Minute
So, given that the futures had been down between 2 and 4 points most of the morning, the quick decline meant that something was up.
Why The Dive? (Thursday Edition)
It turns out that something indeed had happened to cause the boys and their fancy computer toys to flood the market with sell orders. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, who normally falls into the "dove" camp (i.e. the opposite of an inflation hawk), was talking about the Fed needing to raise interest rates sooner than expected.
Below is the tweet I sent out in an effort to provide followers with an explanation of the rapid, unexpected dive in stocks:
Bullard says markets don't appreciate how close Fed is to goals (and thus, tightening). Algos noticed.- StateOfTheMarkets (@StateDave) June 26, 2014
In essence, Bullard told reporters after a speech Thursday that an improving economy and rising price pressures (Fed-speak for inflation) means that the Fed is getting closer to the time when it will need to normalize monetary policy (Fed-speak for hiking short-term interest rates back to "normal" levels) - and that the markets may not be prepared for such a move.
"The Markets Aren't Ready"
Bullard's exact words were, "I don't think financial markets have internalized how close we are to our ultimate goals."
Bullard added that after a miserable showing by the economy during the first quarter, he sees the economy moving back to a 3% growth rate and inflation rising back towards the Fed's target of 2%.
On the somewhat forgotten topic of the unemployment rate, Bullard said he sees the current 6.3% unemployment rate heading to 5.8% by year end. And if this happens, the St. Louis Fed President said the economy would be set up for the Fed to start normalizing their monetary policy.
When Will Rates Rise?
With regard to the idea of the Fed raising rates, Bullard added, "I'm starting to think the economy could tolerate at least a little bit of the central bank getting back to a more normal stance."
Then came the punchline. In terms of WHEN the Fed might take action, Mr. Bullard said that he believes the most likely timing for the Fed's first rate hike would be near the end of the first quarter of 2015.
Although the timing mentioned did not represent a departure from Bullard's public stance, the key point was he said the Fed needs to begin the conversation about when exactly to raise rates. "I predict the conversation about monetary policy will change," Bullard said.
All's Well That Ends Well
So, there you have it. Bullard says the markets don't appreciate how close the Fed might be to raising rates and wham, the algos started selling.
However, stocks then spent the rest of the day slowing recovering from the algo-induced dive and the S&P finished down just -0.14%. Thus, the dip buyers didn't appear to be too concerned about Bullard's comments. And, of course, the seemingly contradictory action in the market left questions about what the market's focus is at the present time.
So which is it? Will worries about the Fed raising rates sooner than expected cause more folks to start heading to the sidelines? Or... Is the REASON behind the Fed's potential move (i.e. recognition of the improvement in the economy) the key to the stock market's future?
We shall see. But the key is this is about to get interesting.

Turning to This Morning...
The sellers appear to be back this morning as traders don't appear to be happy about the action in the yen and the Japanese stock market. There also appears to be some ongoing concern about what the Fed might do and when. In addition, we will note that this is the Friday before the upcoming holiday week, which is traditionally a vacation week for Wall Street. Thus, traders may want to square positions before heading to the beach and avoid the potential for weekend headline risk out of Iraq. Currently futures are pointing to a lower open on Wall Street.

Here are the Pre-Market indicators we review each morning before the opening bell...

About this Business
From Our Editors
If the name wasn't enough of a clue, a close-to-empty donut case at 11 a.m. reveals the main draw of Linda's Donuts. Owner John, who has handcrafted donuts at Linda's since 1982, rolls and shapes dough in the back while his wife, son, and daughter work the front of house, greeting customers, taking orders, and complimenting sock choices.
Customers line up for flavors such as chocolate-glazed and honey-dipped, waiting to dunk them into steaming cups of coffee while catching up on work using the shop's free WiFi. After the donuts run out, customers turn to hearty sandwiches and burgers for lunch.

High on a granite cliff in South Dakota's Black Hills tower the huge carved faces of four American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Together they constitute one of the world's largest pieces of sculpture.
The story of Mount Rushmore's creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself. It is the tale of a hyperactive, temperamental artist whose talent and determination propelled the project, even as his ego and obsession threatened to tear it apart. It is the story of hucksterism and hyperbole, of a massive public works project in the midst of an economic depression. And it is the story of dozens of ordinary Americans who suddenly found themselves suspended high on a cliff face with drills and hammers as a Danish sculptor they considered insane directed them in the creation what some would call a monstrosity, and others a masterpiece.
Not every Dakotan welcomed Doane Robinson's idea to invite Gutzon Borglum to carve Mount Rushmore into sculpture. A professor at the University of South Dakota, John Tjaden, wrote a poem about the project which was published in local newspapers in 1926:
When God made our matchless playground,
He did not intend that man should
even in his wildest ravings
dare to come with hammer, chisel,
block and tackle, pick and mallet,
to profane His age-old record,
to profane the face of Rushmore
by his puny, pygmy scratches.
Why should man presume to alter
the Creator's masterpieces,
wrought in everlasting granite,
wrought by forces so titanic
that no scientist can measure,
that no human mind can master?
And to think that man, presumptive,
should deface and mutilate them!
Men and women, 'tis your duty
to lift your earnest voices,
to the end that all our people
forthwith band themselves together
to preserve from desecration
finished products from God's workshop
and placed by that Master-Artist
in the playground of the Dakota.
From Smith, Rex Alan. The Carving of Mount Rushmore. New York: Abbeville Press, 1985, pp. 116-7.
The story of the farmers who dreamed of prosperity and lived through ten years of drought, dust, disease and death.

Excellent 4.1 /5 from 445 reviews
wonderfully relaxing~ room was clean & quiet~ we loved being able to wake up & walk from our room to the beach in less than five minutes! We will definitely stay here again!
The room was damp and musty. There was mold on the blinds. The staff was friendly.
The pictures are not what they are out out to be. Room was super small to be a king, air conditioner barely worked. Totally NOT worth the money you put out to stay. Although, my husband and I only stayed one night, I wouldn't stay there again. Staff was polite, but room was no good.
Overall very nice and clean. Staff friendly and nice.
Really enjoyed our time here. Very laid back, easy walk to the beach, great pool, friendly staff, washer and dryer on premises, and most unique was the homemade breakfast brought to the room every morning.

Skip to comments.20 in Black Caucus Ask for Curbs on Ethics Office
Posted on 06/02/2010 4:22:40 AM PDT by Pharmboy
Representative Marci Fudge
WASHINGTON Twenty members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including its chairwoman, are asking the House to severely restrict the powers of an independent ethics office that has spent much of its first full year investigating accusations of wrongdoing among black caucus members.
A resolution introduced late last week by Representative Marcia L. Fudge, Democrat of Ohio, and co-sponsored by 19 other black caucus members, would prohibit the release of most investigative reports prepared by the Office of Congressional Ethics. It would also prevent the office from initiating its own inquiries, unless a sworn complaint was filed by an individual with personal knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing.
snip... This will gut and render impotent the Office of Congressional Ethics, said Norman J. Ornstein, an ethics expert at the American Enterprise Institute who lobbied for the creation of the office two years ago. It is a pretty good working definition of chutzpah.
The office, which is run by a former Justice Department prosecutor and overseen by an independent board, has investigated at least eight members of the Congressional Black Caucus. After it investigates, the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has the responsibility of formally deciding if any rules have been broken.
A spokesman for the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who lobbied other members to create the office, said she had no comment on the proposal by Ms. Fudge.
A spokeswoman for Representative Barbara Lee, a California Democrat and chairwoman of the black caucus, did not respond to a request for comment.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
All the more reason to keep the heat ON! Drag 'em out IN CHAINS!
The most ethical House of Representatives in history, ping...
Dare I say it....... oh fudge!
Thugs, racists, and parasites.
Yes, but they eat at fine restaurants, have chauffeurs and tons of support staff, have their travel paid for, can send their children to the best private schools, and have the power to reach into all of our pockets to take what they need to pay off those who vote for them. I'm not feeling too smug at the moment.
Hopefully we are witnessing the end of this bunch of corrupt parasites...white and black and everything in between. We will—I predict—feel a bit more smug on November 3.
Substitute the word white for black in the story and read it again.
Gee, Fudge
Wonder why you would say all of this ...
The first action of a Republican Congress should be the re dissolution of the racist Black Caucus.
All are professional racists, they make a living being black. They must be literally thrown out of the capitol
The Black Caucus and the Hispanic Caucus are both racist organisations.
Asking an official investigative body to not be allowed to expose their corrupt practices is the height of arrogance and deceit.
Still: even after their corruption is exposed, nothing will be done because they are minorities.
They got elected because their districts were either gerrymandered or overwhelmingly black and their only competence is that they are professional race baiters.
Pimps and Hos Caucus!
Corruptocrats. These are the same members of Congress who howl whenever there's a whiff of a Republican scandal.
Ms. Fudge?
Good point. It might very well pass.
The black caucus is full of sleazy dingbats and taking the brunt of this Office's efforts this year, but there are many white Congressmen who would like to avoid the heat in the future.
I also wonder if Ms. Fudge thinks the Office is racist because of the inequality of results, just as many think the criminal justice system racist because a higher percentage of blacks are convicted (regardless of the crime commission statistics).
Gerrymandered districts have sent some of the most stupid,corrupt people imaginable to position of power.
Rulebreakers don't care much for rules, or enforcement for that matter.
An interesting point, but you can't get past the first sentence. A "white caucus" would never be allowed.
The perfectly named Marci Fudge wants to define deviancy down.
And they see nothing wrong in this...
It's bizarro world moment #53452 since Barry took office. If the GOP leadership suggested such a thing, the media would personally string and tie the slipknots as they streamed live video from the trees.
I really, really hope you are right..
I don't.
"Don't investigate me, Bro!"
Our government has become a caricature of itself.
Great comment and tag line...you go, girl!
"A resolution introduced late last week by Representative Marcia L. Fudge, Democrat of Ohio"
Bringing a new sense to the phrase "Fudging Data".
Gerrymandered districts have sent some of the most stupid, corrupt people imaginable to position of power.
And Guam is tipping over
so let's watch out .........
They shouldn't be subject to the same ethics laws as everyone else because they're black? Any governing body that has the ability to give themselves raises out of taxpayer money should always be held to a high standard. I don't care if they're black, white, brown or purple polk-a-dot.
Case in point: my congresscritter, Queen Sheila Jackson-Lee. Never saw a racist or communist bill she couldn't support, still looking for where the astronauts were on Mars.
It would be funny if not so sad.
Black, white, red, brown....pink polka dots...I could give a flip...They ALL need sunlight shown on them...!!
Give 'em a breeak. What choice did they have, since they were already in violation? ;') Thanks Pharmboy.
It's Ethic, not Ethnic...besides...when you got to prison...you'll be able to catch up with all your family and friends...

Picasso was a regular at the famous El Quartre Gats café, whose name translates as the The Four Cats. As well enjoying regular tipples here, it was also the stage for his first ever art exhibition.
July 2016
Excellent tour, Romina, our guide, was very knowledgeable and professional. Be prepared to walk for 2 hours, but you get to stop at various points to listen to the guide. I couldn't recommended more, this tour brings history to the beautiful streets of old Barcelona.
July 2016
The museum was amazing with a large collection of Picasso starting from when he was only 14 years old. We really enjoyed the tour.
July 2016
The tour guide was excellent and full of energy! I enjoyed the tour very much and learned a great deal.
July 2016
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She used a microphone and earpieces so everyone could hear her. We walked the Gothic district and ended up at the museum where she discussed the progression of Picasso's art and showed us the most important works in the museum. We all learned a lot.
June 2016
I loved the tour -- to see where Picasso lived and painted. The tour guide gave some history of Barcelona and Spanish customs which I enjoyed.
June 2016
Picasso's legend comes alive in this tour. Walking through the same narrow streets and cafes where he walked, spent his time in his initial days in Barcelona was truly amazing. Learning about his art, life and influences was a lesson in art history. Finally the museum is like an icing on the cake, just awesome and an art lovers paradise. These are few hours of bliss. Enjoy!
June 2016
the tour gave us a great overview of Barcelona old town as well as all the key
June 2016
The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. There was some confusion in the beginning trying to find the contact person that puts the tour together at the entrance of the church and there was a bit of a wait so we did not get it right at 9am. Overall I would still recommend it. The church is beautiful and worth seeing earlier rather than later on during the day.
June 2016
The building it's housed in is worth the visit alone. Amazing.
Excellent chronologically arranged exhibit displaying Picasso's varied facets and periods and personal history, very interesting as well as the art works.
Our guide was the supremely knowledgeable and charming Noria!
June 2016
This museum dedicated to Picasso focuses on his childhood work and his development as a uniquely gifted painter and sculptor. Many of Picasso's most famous works are found in other museums, but this exhibit gives one insight into his development and the influence of other artists, i.e., Velazquez.

RFID Improves Safety in the Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry is constantly striving to improve its safety culture. The past several decades have seen a number of high-profile tanker, offshore platform, and well failure incidents that have had devastating environmental consequences and led to injuries and fatalities. Oil and gas companies are increasing their safety efforts, while the industry works with various regional governments to create workable standards and best practices. For example, members of the Nigerian government and oil and gas industry representatives recently held a seminar to help improve safety in the energy sector. And OPITO, an oil and gas sector safety training company, has seen demand for its courses more than double this year. As the industry continues to improve its operations, technology (including RFID) has a role to play in ensuring the safe operation of equipment at well sites and the safety of employees. In today's blog, we look at how RFID improves safety throughout the oil and gas industry.
According to this article in the Oil & Gas Financial Journal, the industry utilizes the Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) for all offshore operations in U.S. waters. Using SEMS, oil and gas companies try to reduce human error and poor organization that can lead to accidents; continually improve offshore safety and environmental results; utilize performance-based operating practices; and collaborate across the industry to promote offshore worker safety and environmental protection.

Xerafy, VueMed present solution for healthcare supply chain management at AHRMM16
Each year the Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) holds its annual conference, where leading healthcare executives and technology vendors can meet to discuss innovative approaches to the healthcare supply chain.
Xerafy will be exhibiting at the AHRMM16 Conference from Augest 1 to 2 in San Diego with our partner VueMed to demonstrate our joint RFID solution for healthcare supply chain management.
VueMed's RFID and barcode solutions, VueTrack and VueScan, are software as a service (SaaS) inventory and data management systems that can help track and document the use of medical products, devices and supplies in real time.
Real-time inventory management is critical for hospitals, since their assets and supplies require high availability in order to ensure patient safety and staff efficiency. In some cases, use of those assets must also be well documented in order to meet regulatory and other compliance requirements. And by documenting the use of all supplies and equipment, hospitals can more accurately bill payers and potentially increase charge capture. Continue reading
Xerafy's Tags Selected by Dolphin RFID for Aman Aviation tool tracking MRO
An increasing number of aviation companies are starting to implement RFID not only for tool tracking, but also for improving safety by automating foreign objection detection (FOD) and supporting maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) processes. One such company is Aman Aviation, an Indian MRO company for aircrafts, who through its partnership with Dolphin RFID plans to drive the adoption of RFID-based best practices in the Indian civil aviation sector. The automated system using RFID will help Aman Aviation save time compared to paper-based record keeping and manual tool searches. RFID will also improve record accuracy and make tool status information available in real time which will reduce the amount of time airplanes spend on the ground, augment the number of trips they make, make air travel in India more cost-effective and profitable, and maintain high levels of safety.
MRO is one of the most extreme environments for RFID tags because it demands reliable performance for as long as the tagged tool, part or other asset is in service. RFID can provide the essential link between the physical items and the information needed to keep them running safely and efficiently. Xerafy rugged tags read reliably each time, even after years of exposure to temperature extremes, oil, dirt, hydraulic fluid, cleaning solvents and other challenging materials and conditions common to aerospace operations.
Xerafy, who has already worked with Boeing and Airbus for similar projects, was chosen for its high performance RFID tags and strong experience in RFID tool tracking applications for aviation and the industries. Its rugged tags — RFID Dot XS (a 6mm diameter round tag that is 2.5 mm thick with a read distance of 1.5 meters or 5 feet) and Dash XS (a 12 x 3 x 2.2 mm tag and has a read distance of 2 meters or 6.6 feet) — were selected by Dolphin RFID for the tool tracking application because of their small form factor and excellent read range as well as reading reliability when used on and near metal objects. Continue reading
Shifting from Asset Tracking to Asset Management
Traditionally, RFID projects in the asset realm have been focused on asset tracking – they can tell you where an item is. It's an operational function that exists separately from the use, optimization, or value of the actual item. But there are ways to use RFID data at a higher level, to enable true asset management.
In manufacturing, RFID systems are often used to track tools, equipment, machinery, bins/totes, and other items. In a hospital, the technology has been similarly used to track wheelchairs, IV pumps, beds, and other equipment. RFID's value lies in reducing the number of labor hours spent searching for assets. In some cases, the RFID system is married to an employee ID and check-in/check-out process so that companies not only know where an item is, but who has it.
Providing true asset management functionality
But strictly focusing on location means that companies are leaving a significant amount of value on the table. RFID can provide location data, but it can also be integrated with other technology and systems to accelerate the return on investment (ROI) for RFID, and also create numerous new value opportunities for companies by enabling true asset management functionality.
This transition requires analytics tools that can examine the location data and turn it into usable business intelligence. This usable data can be opened up to stakeholders outside of operations or facilities management – finance, compliance, auditing, etc., as actionable data for true decisioning. Continue reading
RFID Can Improve Perioperative Care
Perioperative care presents a broad set of challenges when it comes to patient safety and provider efficiency before, during, and after surgery. Technology can help hospitals improve their chances of efficiently processing patients in the safest way possible through all phases of surgery. RFID, in particular, can play a significant role in both operating room productivity and patient safety.
Surgeries involve a number of complex variables, including multi-member surgical teams; a large array of supplies, instruments, and implants; and stringent sterilization and safety requirements. Complicating matters, perioperative clinicians and staff are often not directly familiar with surgical patients. This lack of familiarity and knowledge can lead to errors as patient misidentification, miscommunication of the planned procedure, and omission of known allergies or antibiotics. Patient hand-offs or transfers between teams can lead to even more potential confusion.
RFID can play an important role in improving perioperative care.
Using passive RFID tags on equipment such as beds, wheelchairs, IV pumps, and other items, hospitals can coordinate asset management technology with bar code patient wristbands to ensure the right patient is headed toward the correct operating room.
Using RFID on surgical instruments, kits and other equipment, staff can confirm that all the necessary supplies are present for each surgery before the patient arrives. Use of those tools can be monitored during surgery. Afterward, all tools and supplies can be accounted for via a quick scan with an RFID reader. This not only protects the hospital's assets, but also helps prevent accidents such as leaving a surgical instrument inside a patient.
Post-surgery, hospitals can track and document all disposal or sterilization processes, which can help reduce the risk of infection. Continue reading

Optimizing Python scripts
The trick to optimization is to save time in the right places.
Optimization saves execution time. Unfortunately, optimizing lengthens development cycles. The optimized source code is typically more complex than the original code, which increases the time for testing and debugging. Adding complexity also makes the code more difficult to maintain. Because the optimization process takes time and adds complexity, it is best to avoid optimizing code while you are writing it. Before you start optimizing, start with a stable program. Once your program is stable and complete, you can look for ways to improve performance. In this article, I describe some strategies for optimizing Python programs.

Released: Oct 01st, 2001
Running Time: 91
Director: Dino Ninn
Company: VCA Platinum Plus
Cast: Marty Romano, Evan Stone, Isabella Camille, Mark Davis, Gwen Summers, Julie Meadows, Shelbee Myne, Pat Myne, Gina Ryder, Dillion Day
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Minimal plot but still excellent couples fare.
It's a little hard to tell what Dillion Day's commercial, which Gwen Summers helped produce, is actually selling. All we know, however, is that anyone who sees it gets immediately horny and, trance-like, begins fucking whoever's closest. Fortunately, except for one instance, those closest are of the opposite sex.
The sci-fi festivities begin in Evan Stone's music studio, where Gina Ryder goes on the attack and gets plowed in horsie and mish positions, but it's Summers who gets three scenes here: A mish/reverse cowgirl/doggie with editor Marty Romano that also has Summers engaging in a light striptease; a reasonably hot girl/girler in an alley with newcomer Isabelle Camille; and the finale, where Summers has been rescued from the surprise villain by Pat Myne, who takes her pussy from behind in a standing mish/horsie/cowgirl liaison.
Not much plot, but decent productions values courtesy of director Dino Ninn, who's better known for his music and camerawork, both of which are top-notch here.

I have enjoyed working with many people relocating to the area because I understand what it is like moving to a new place with out knowing anyone or the area.
I hope to hear from you and working with another transplant! Best of luck to you in your move.
Having helped dozens of families relocate to Charlotte, knowledge of the local areas and how they relate to what you're wanting is of the highest value to a buyer.
From urban hip neighborhoods, to suburban school districts with great ratings, to luxury custom built homes being sold at foreclosure prices-- there is something to be said for agents that work full time and really know their stuff.
If that's what you're wanting, call me. If not, call someone else.

I am not from New England but my mother's family is; hence, we vacationed there quite a bit. Although I probably will not be selected as your buyer's agent, I do have a ranch listing that you may interest you in Picwyck Village in Mooresville. It will be listed for under $212,400 and is on an acre lot. The reason that I tell you about it is that many New Englanders like larger lots, low taxes, in good school districts. Lake Norman is home to many people from New England because of the boating and closeness to water.
Wishing you success,

Kde 4.7 Released And In The Wild
July saw the release of KDE SC 4.7. Like all recent KDE releases, this is a combination of updates to the bundled applications, underlying desktop and associated technologies. Canonical have already pushed 4.7 through to Kubuntu desktops.
If you are a 4.6 user who has just upgraded, don't expect to be aware of major changes the first time you reboot. Some of the core applications have been updated, but most of the work has gone into improving the underlying frameworks. The applications themselves have been shifted to a greater reliance on Akonadi, the PIM storage framework and NEPOMUK, the semantic information database.
Kontact is the KDE PIM suite that includes email, contacts and appointments. Again, don't expect to see many apparent differences when using the applications as most of the changes take the form of a switch to Anakondi for data storage. The mail component, Kmail is an example of this as it has been rechristened Kmail 2, although it looks almost identical to the previous version.
Of course, the the usual caveats about relying on a database rather than standard file formats have to be considered. On the one hand, it's not quite clear what happens if you have to recover a broken system as you can't simply peer inside a set of standard files. On the other, a unified approach looks set to pay off in the future, and it was always part of the over-arching plan for KDE4.
Increasingly, if you update contact or scheduling information in one application, that information will be updated in every KDE application, and this will include all of your synchronized devices and services. However, if you're the type of user who prefers to use a suite of independent applications that utilize industry standard methods of storing their data, the KDE of the future isn't going to be for you.
Photo manager, digKam is once again a core application, and it's an example of an application that does have improvements that are visible on the surface. As for the application itself, it will probably continue to be divisive. On the one hand, it harks back to the KDE3 era in that it is a complicated application with loads of features. On the other hand, it's at odds with the KDE4 aim to simplify user interfaces wherever possible. I'd challenge anyone who has not used it before to be able to figure it out at first glance, in contrast to the intuitive layout of F-Spot or Picasa. It's a techy application application rather than a pure photo browser, and some people will want to see it stay that way.
digiKam - it's complicated.
File manager Dolphin is an application that has had its user interface simplified slightly and can now operate without a menu bar. Looking at the screenshots that demo a few different configurations, I have to say that I'm still not much of a fan. All files are still locked to a grid and the icons are uniform in size. Its predecessor, Konqueror managed to mix icons of varying sizes with larger icons for media that could be previewed as a thumbnail.
Dolphin. The way it handles previews still hasn't won me over.
I wonder if I'm the only long-term KDE user who hasn't delved into what task orientated workspaces have to offer? For one thing, I want to be sure that it all works flawlessly before digging in. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
On the surface, KDE4.7 might seem like a minor upgrade, however, a lot of work has been carried out improve the frameworks such as Phonon, NEPOMUK and Anakondi. This release leverages the power of those frameworks to take KDE4 closer to what it was always intended to be, a closely integrated set of applications and services tied together with a user interface that it is easy to use. What KDE4 represents won't, therefore, please all Linux users or even all desktop Linux users.
Having overcome the difficult birth of the initial release, KDE4 is now a powerful and mature desktop. In the future, in some respects, it will pull further away from what traditionalist Linux users expect from a desktop experience, and on the other hand, KDE4 will soon begin to offer integrated approaches and ways of working that make it stand out against all of the other desktops that are available.
The complete overview of changes on the KDE website seems to be split onto three main pages: applications, Plasma Workplace and the underlying platform changes.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
I'm running KDE 4.7.0 on
I'm running KDE 4.7.0 on Fedora 15 and I absolutely love it :)
I'm using KDE 4.6.5 on PCLINUXOS, rock solid. I love it. This is coming from someone who used Gnome 2 from 2006 till this year.
I don't think I'll ever go to Gnome 3 now that I've found KDE.
I wonder if I'm the only
I wonder if I'm the only long-term KDE user who hasn't delved into what task orientated workspaces have to offer? For one thing, I want to be sure that it all works flawlessly before digging in.
I fully agree and you're not getting old. First of all the desktop has to work reliably, then I am interested in new features ... indeed, what is the task oriented workspaces about?
Like KDE but...
I have a lan house running gnu-linux-debian-kde for 6 years now. The only trouble with kde is that is impossible to protect the desktop configurations. I would like to see systemconfig and the toolbox at least with a password execution option. I hate found someones picture on desktop :( . Dolphin is much better now, but you always keep using konqueror. By the way, why so many sites, like yahoo, keep konqueror or rekonq as unsupported browsers? Is there a way to bypass this trouble?
Gnome İs Better Than Kde

KDE is so good! I like it! So better than all before!

kde 4.7
I am a long time kde user, started in 1999. With 4.7 I may be forced to stop using it. Why? kmail2. I have about 350K emails in archives in Maildir format. Kmail2 wants to convert everything to its new format. So far the kmailcvt program (kmigrate gave up) has been running 3 days and is now using 15G and still has 100K message to go...
I shutter to think what is going to happen when akondi's DB gets corrupted... I've been supporting software for 30+ year and _really_ wonder if akondi and friends are a good idea?
No need to worry
The mails are not stored in a database, the most common backend is still maildir.
Instead of importing you can either use a maildir ("Local Folders") backend handler or one specialized for KMail1's mail tree (which can contain mbox folders and index files for metadata such as flags). This one is called "KMail Folders"
Kmail dilemma..
Im happy with kde 4.6.5 ( of course old releases to :-) ). PIM is great tool but... Kmail.. Kmail is great but you cannot send html emails. We are in 2011 we cannot send html mails. What a silliness :-(
It's a valid concern and I'm
It's a valid concern and I'm going to get into it in a future article.

I'm not a big fan of dolphin. The thing that really bugs me from a UI design, is that by default, an editable location bar is not shown. I have to do view/location bar/editable location bar to activate it.
That's ridiculous!! I could only guess that a newb would simply give up on dolphin before figuring that out.
No need to panic
It's much much easier to make it editable. You just click at the end of currently sown location and it becomes editable. Yes as simple as that.
Digikam is complicated? I don't think so. Something like f-spot doesn't even try to compete with Digikam. It's a far different level. If you want something for viewing photos just use Gwenview which is much more robust and powerful than f-spot while more comfortable same time (hence it's Qt, not mono...). Digikam is for the professional photo editing not just for browsing.
Just to clarify, I'm not
Just to clarify, I'm not criticising Digikam when I say that it's a complicated application. I like complicated, and I'm wary of the KDE mission to simplify everything.
UK based freelance writer Michael Reed writes about technology, retro computing, geek culture and gender politics.
Love KDE
Switched to KDE two weeks ago and I love it. Better than any other desktop I've used before. Looks awesome works even better and it is nice to see it is so configurable.
It's a great desktop and
It's a great desktop and before long it looks like it may grow features that aren't available anywhere else.

Dolphin previews
Its predecessor, Konqueror managed to mix icons of varying sizes with larger icons for media that could be previewed as a thumbnail.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean but does
Dolphin → Settings → Configure Dolphin... → View Modes
and then the "Default" and "Preview" size sliders not do what you want? The sizes can be set separately for grid, details and column modes.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Gain saturation coefficients of unstrained- and strained-layer multiple-quantum-well lasers were measured experimentally. These coefficients were higher in lasers that had compressive strain in their active-layer wells: 2.45×10-17 cm3 with unstrained wells and 12.6×10-17 cm3 with strained wells. The higher gain saturation coefficient in lasers with strained active-layer wells is related to their higher linear TE mode gain coefficient. The linearity factor (K factor) between a laser's damping constant and the square of the laser's resonant frequency decreased slightly with the introduction of the strain in the laser's active layer wells. This factor, however, took the value of about 0.2×10-9 s for each of these lasers

We report the first broad-band (0.5–150 keV) simultaneous X-ray observations of the very faint X-ray transient IGR J17285−2922/XTE J1728−295 performed with the XMM–Newton and INTEGRAL satellites during its last outburst, started on 2010 August 28. XMM–Newton observed the source on 2010 September 9–10 for 22 ks. INTEGRAL observations were part of the publicly available Galactic bulge program, and overlapped with the times covered by XMM–Newton. The broad-band spectroscopy resulted in a best fit with an absorbed power law displaying a photon index Γ of 1.61 ± 0.01, an absorbing column density NH of (5.10 ± 0.05) × 1021 cm−2 and a flux of 2.4 × 10−10 erg cm−2 s−1 (1–100 keV), corrected for the absorption. The data did not require either a spectral cut-off (Ec > 50 keV) or an additional soft component. The slopes of the power law fitting the XMM–Newton and INTEGRAL separate spectra were compatible, within the uncertainties. The timing analysis does not show evidence either for X-ray pulsations or for type I X-ray bursts. The broad-band X-ray spectrum as well as the power-density spectrum is indicative of a low-hard state in a low-mass X-ray binary, although nothing conclusive can be said about the nature of the compact object (neutron star or black hole). The results we report here allow us to conclude that IGR J17285−2922 is a low-mass X-ray binary, located at a distance greater than 4 kpc.

Asus Padfone 2 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
The Asus Padfone 2 was unveiled publicly today at a packed event in Milan. The quirky phone-cum-tablet device looks to crack two ends of the market, potentially bringing your phone and tablet needs together into one hybrid package.
The brains of the outfit is the phone, which slots into the rear of the parasite display - or Station, as Asus calls it - meaning you can boost that 4.7-inch display up to 10.1-inches, if you want to go big for watching movies, for example.
The advantage of the Padfone 2 is that you don't need a second device that essentially does the same thing as the first; you don't need to worry about syncing, because the phone has all the files on it already, rather than having two devices chewing at your Google or Asus Cloud accounts.
Of course the downside is that you might be in the middle of watching the latest episode of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix when your grandmother calls. But you can literally just slip the phone out of the Station: it's an incredibly smooth, yet secure piece of engineering.
Asus has been riding a design high in 2012 and the Padfone 2 is a testament to the good work it has been doing. The tablet, although an accessory, feels well built and well considered. There's a feeling of quality to the materials and even though finished in plastics, it's solid yet lightweight.
Then there's the benefit of a second internal battery, so you don't have to worry about draining your phone: on busy days, docking the phone will see it charged by the display, with Asus claiming 3x battery life when the Station is included.
The phone itself is also neatly designed. The sleek lines challenge the top-tier smartphones out there. Asus might not be a big name in smartphones, but it certainly knows design, as the Transformer tablets and ZenBook PCs demonstrate.
The Padfone 2 might be the device to change opinion, though. It looks and feels great. The specs and dimensions are impressive. It might be a touch on the expensive side at €799 (approx £645) for the 32GB version, but that includes the Station, so you're getting two devices for that.
Asus has at least ramped up the spec to the max in the Padfone 2. Starting with the display, you get a 4.7-inch, 1280 x 720 pixel resolution Super IPS+ panel, with a cracking 312ppi. It's finished in Corning Fit Glass and it looks stunning. It also boasts a 550 nits brightness, so will be good for indoor and outdoor use. It certainly looks vibrant, with nice rich colours and excellent viewing angles.
Internally you have a powerful quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, clocked at 1.5GHz, backed with 2GB of RAM. Although we didn't have the chance to run any intensive applications on the Padfone during our play at the launch event in Milan, we were impressed by the fluidity and speed of navigation around the OS.
Asus has left Android 4.0 relatively unsullied in the Padfone, which we like. However, there are some considered tweaks, such as the addition of a "pad only" section in the apps tray. That's where you'll find your tablet-specific apps, so they're easy to get to.
There have been some tweaks made to the camera, too. With a 13-megapixel sensor on the rear, Asus is claiming continuous capture of up to 100 shots, at a rate of 6fps. Nice shootin' Tex. Although we're yet to see the quality of the resultant images, or the 1080p or 60fps 720p video it will capture, it sounds compelling.
The great thing is being able to slide the phone into the tablet to preview those images or share them with those around you instantly.
We like the considered approach that Asus has made with the Padfone 2. It's easy to mock those who dare to be different, but we like the results here. It focuses on delivering impressive specs in a neatly designed package, and our only concern is whether people will be drawn to Asus for their next smartphone.
Asus has confirmed to us that it will be on sale in the UK in early 2013, price to be confirmed. Of course, we'll bring you a full Padfone 2 review when we get our hands on one.
