We show that pulse spectral broadening in normally dispersive nonlinear fiber amplifiers may be enhanced by introducing a suitable dispersion tapering. We obtain an analytical dispersion profile that permits one to reduce pulse propagation in a varying dispersion fiber to the case of an equivalent fiber with constant parameters.

Posts Categorised: Diagnosis
by Marion Hersh.
Control is important to many autistic people and we do not want to give it up to professionals and experts. I, for one, resisted formal diagnosis for this reason for many years until the need for reasonable adjustments became even more pressing.
Currently, diagnosis acts as the gate keeper to support and adjustments. However, in practice not a lot of support is available post-diagnosis. This is clearly wrong. Access to support should be made much simpler and the amount of support available should be increased, in consultation with autistic adults and young people, so it is useful. In addition, I would suggest that membership of autistic organisations should not be dependent on diagnosis. It seems unlikely that others are going to want to gatecrash them and mechanisms for preventing this could be developed if it becomes necessary.
However, self-diagnosis requires both information and self-confidence, so it is not an option for everyone. There is certainly a need for more information about autism to become generally available, but this will still not make self-diagnosis possible for everyone. This is particularly true in the case of children. In theory, a diagnosis could lead to additional information about the person and the barriers they are likely to encounter, followed by a personally tailored set of strategies and support measures to overcome them. In reality this is rare to non-existent.
Although, like everything else, professional diagnosis is not infallible, it can be useful in the case of challenges based on other people's stereotypes – you're not autistic, you can't be autistic – you can read, speak, have a job, partner, house, life, you're too responsive, you're not catatonic, not totally incapable (or whatever the particular stereotypes are) how can you be autistic. Producing a formal diagnosis is much easier than having to explain away all the stereotypes. In addition, this diagnosis can then be used to support your arguments challenging the stereotypes and showing the diversity of autistics.
The lack of support post-diagnosis is not unique to autism, as my research on the experiences of blind people in different countries found. Symptomatic of this lack of support was being given a long cane (white stick) and presumably being expected to know how to use it, though this requires many hours of training. However, the post-diagnosis situation for blind people is changing. In addition, many countries have organisations of blind people controlled by blind people. For many of my research participants going to organisations of blind people, hearing blind people there laugh and joke and seeing they had a life was a turning point.
Something similar would be possible for autism. However, it is going to take time and resources before each town and city, possibly even each village has an autistic controlled and led organisation, which, amongst other things is able to provide information and support to those who have been newly diagnosed.
by Willow Holloway.
I connect a lot with parents who are going through the diagnostic process with their child. Many are very frustrated with the current system and the long waiting lists and even more disappointed with the post diagnostic support. As a parent after you have been through the diagnostic process with all the stress it entails and then finally after many months your child receives the diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum condition you assume that there will be ongoing support. Too often parents are left to deal with the post diagnostic period alone.
There is a sheer mountain of research and an even bigger mountain of mis-information
Many parents obsess over finding answers and changing the system during this stage these emotions in time can begin to fuel fear and anger. Anger at an unaccepting world, at the system that makes little adjustment and at themselves for not having the answers. It's no wonder that so many parents see Autism as a negative thing. They are left to deal with the emotions of sadness, grief, guilt, self-blame, self-recrimination, and fears and worries about the future alone.
What a difference a compassionate and empathetic response post diagnosis would make. Being given the ability to meet autistic adults who are happy to share their experiences. A friendly face reaching out a hand with the ability to share knowledge gained and make the road ahead seem less scary. This sort of support can insure that a diagnosis becomes a positive rather than a traumatic experience.
Many of the parents I have connected with express the fact that they are fed up with unhelpful advice from people who have no understanding of autism, neurodiversity, sensory issues, or behaviour challenges but who still believe they have the right to tell them the best way to parent their child. They are continually having to fight the system to get the support their child needs. It's no wonder that the parents of autistic children are overwhelmed with stress, and in turn this just stresses their child. Which just amplifies the chances of "challenging behaviours" developing and eventually stress related health conditions. We can just as easily be overwhelmed by others' emotions as we can sensory input from light etc.
The initial stages after diagnosis can be extreme for everyone, I know, I have been there on more than one occasion personally and as a parent. My advice post diagnosis is simple forget the research for now. Try and let go of all the unhelpful advice. Take time to process what you have been told that was useful and then move on and work out the best way to go forward for your individual child. Your Beautiful and Unique child.
Many parents I have spoken to have expressed their frustration at being unable to get any help for their child because their child has been refused a referral for a diagnosis or they are stuck on a list somewhere in the system. My advice. Persevere, you know your child. Treat your child as if they are already diagnosed. You don't have to have a diagnosis to begin putting in adjustments. Implement coping strategies. Learn about their individual difficulties and take time to understand those difficulties, don't focus on the behaviours, focus on what is leading to those behaviours.
Most importantly in my opinion take time to listen to autistic adults and ask them questions. We want to make life easier for you and your child. Ask us about what we needed as kids and what strategies we had to learn. We want to make things easier for the next generation by sharing what we have learnt.

The boys have excelled in Ed's care and he has provided them with a wonderful and structured home. Congratulations to the entire family!!!!
Andrew and I decided that we wanted to foster, with hopes of adopting, when we were told the only way we could have more children was through in-vitro fertilization. We were thankful to have our son Tyler, but knew we could provide a safe place for children in foster care who needed a home. During that time, we had church friends who were involved with KidsPeace Foster Care and we were able to see the impact they made on the children's lives. We wanted to be a part of that and wanted to welcome children into our home as our own… READ MORE

More Practice Observations (members)
Cal Junior Day Visitor List (members)
On a day where the skies opened up with hail in the middle of practice, toe-headed Vic Wharton provided a ray of sunshine for the California offense during the Bears' penultimate open practice session of the spring.
After an interception yesterday during team work by Derron Brown, it was Darius Allensworth's turn early on Saturday, picking off a pass from Ross Bowers in start-of-practice speed team work. Bowers got second reps behind Chase Forrest, and while Forrest was dependable -- hitting the short routes, including a slant to Wharton.
Wharton also picked up a 52-yard slant from Forrest, and a 12-yarder mid-practice 11-on-11 work, but the first drive ended in a 33-yard field goal by Matt Anderson, and the second stalled out after Forrest made a bad pass to the back of the end zone.
Bowers, though, showed the more consistent, bigger arm, hitting Ray Hudson 35 yards down the deep middle, and Matthew Rockett on a deep slant during seven-on-seven work, but as often as he'd hit the explosive pass, he'd overthrow a receiver, including Hudson down the far sideline, and he threw the day's only interception. Hudson was one of the more dependable receivers in the day, and just as impactful as Wharton.
During early-practice 11-on-11 work, Bowers hit a fade touchdown to an uncovered Jordan Veasy from inside the red zone.
Forrest did what Forrest does -- hit the short, easy passes, leading receivers, hitting the outside shoulder to allow a receiver to turn up field, and hitting his receivers in stride between two defenders, including Logan Gamble between two linebackers in seven-on-seven work.
After a brief interlude of hail that began with a sack of Bowers by Cameron Saffle, and continued with Noah Westerfield making snow angels at the 50, Forrest hit a 12-yard pass to Wharton, who was the top receiver on the day. The sun finally came out with Forrest at the 10, where he hit a five-yard pass to -- who else? -- Wharton. Forrest threw a third-down pass out of the back of the end zone, though, and the drive ended.
Bowers's next red zone drive ended with a seven-yard scramble for a touchdown.
Defensively, Traveon Beck, Elijah Hicks and Camryn Bynum stood out in the secondary, with Zeandae Johnson also adding a tackle for loss. Ray Davison delivered several quarterback pressures.
Saffle had two sacks, including one on a late-practice drive by Bowers. That drive, though, was kept alive by a 15-yard run from Patrick Laird, setting up a pair of runs from Zion Echols, the final one being a three-yard score. Tre Watson also ended a Bowers drive with a lengthy touchdown run in the 26th period. Laird was one of the more impressive runners on the day, showing power and vision. The short swing passes were well covered, though, taking the running backs out of the passing game. Alex Funches Funches was particularly adept at that.
Billy McCrary also stood out, taking a dump off on Bowers's second late-practice drive for about 20 yards.
Veasy added a touchdown on a drag from Bowers, rolling right, on his penultimate drive of the day. Veasy added another leaping grab on Bowers's next drive. Not to be outdone, Forrest hit freshman Taariq Johnson on a leaping 30-yarder on his penultimate drive, between several defenders. Downs, several plays later, dropped Echols in the backfield. He later added a sack.
Former Bears Kevin Riley, Bryce Treggs and Worrell Williams were in attendance.

So now my wallet is lighter and easier to carry, cool!
11 November 2010
Peachy Mann and highstreet shopping
So now my wallet is lighter and easier to carry, cool!
Me and Nao {sorry, Nao and I} are going to do grown up type things...we are going to the Barbican this evening to see a Japanese play. Although the play is acted by puppets, so not that grown up I suppose.
This pendant was left to me by my Grandma {Gwendolin 'Peachy' Mann} who passed away a few years ago sadly. She was quite an eccentric and I believe my mum said here last words were 'Plum cake' {not sure whether this is a family fable or not but I like to think it is true}. She was the ripe old age of 92 {I think!}. Anyway, I digress, I had this pendant for many years rattling around with some other bits and bobs from her jewellery box. I was keeping a cherry blossom in it for a while, that Nao brought back from his hometown {this was whilst we were courting y'know}. Then I found that little bow brooch pin on which to hang it, and this morning, whilst trying to dress smart like, it dawned on me to type something for it. Tiny but shiny, is what Nao had engraved in my engagement ring! Yuck! I'm sure you are thinking!
So now my wallet is lighter and easier to carry, cool!

I nearly picked that dress up myself, but they were lacking in my size. Now I've seen you wear it so well I think I might pop back! Love the brooch, a charming way to update old pieces.ReplyDelete

BSNL employees, who were protesting the Sam Pitroda panel's recommendations, which suggested voluntary retirement to one lakh staff and 30% disinvestment as part of improving the financial health of the State-run unit, have called off their strike
Within hours of going on an indefinite strike, the employee unions of State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) on Tuesday called off the protest after the government assured them that the issue of disinvestment in the telecom company will be referred to a Group of Ministers (GoM).
"We have assured them (unions) that the issue of disinvestment will be referred to a GoM and they would be consulted before taking other decisions with regard to BSNL," telecom minister A Raja told PTI.
A high-level panel, headed by Sam Pitroda and banker Deepak Parekh and telecom secretary PJ Thomas as members, had recommended 30% disinvestment in BSNL and voluntary retirement to over one lakh staff as part of steps to improve the financial health of the State-run company.
The apex body of BSNL unions claimed that over three lakh of its members had joined the strike action this morning. The joint forum of unions has both executives and non-executives as members.
Within hours, BSNL chairman Kuldeep Goyal met the telecom minister and sought his intervention. "As the management has agreed to look into our major demands, we have decided to call off the indefinite strike," said VAN Namboodiri, convenor of the Joint Action Committee of BSNL Associations and Unions.
The Sam Pitroda panel was set up by prime minister Manmohan Singh to suggest ways to improve BSNL's financial health.
BSNL's profits plummeted to Rs178 crore in 2009-2010 (up to December 2009) from over Rs575 crore in 2008-09 as it is rapidly losing market share to new entrants. The State-run company has 91 million users, both mobile and land line. BSNL offers services across India, except Delhi and Mumbai.
Besides the scrapping of the divestment plan, the unions are also demanding absorption of the 1,500 ITS officers, who have been continuing on deputation for the last 10 years.
The unions are also protesting sharing of BSNL infrastructure, including cables and towers, with private telecom companies.
Contrary to popular belief, SEBI's clamp-down on ULIPs may not be of its own doing; the roots of the ongoing turf war can be traced back to the finance ministry's thought process developed many months ago
The current full-blown turf war between the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) over the regulatory purview of unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs) may have been silently stirred up under the roof of the finance ministry, much before the issue came to the limelight. While experts are sympathising with SEBI's views on the indiscriminate mis-selling of ULIPs or IRDA's legal jurisdiction (depending on which side their sympathies are), it appears that a section of the finance ministry is completely backing SEBI, which may have encouraged the capital-market regulator to go hammer and tongs at the insurance companies. SEBI, in a stunning order dated 9 April 2010, had banned 14 life insurance companies from distributing and marketing new ULIPs to customers.
Indeed, a series of presentations and papers by Dr KP Krishnan, the joint secretary (capital markets), before different gatherings since November last year suggest that the predatory incursion by SEBI has its roots in the finance ministry, much before it became a full-blown order. The papers and presentations explicitly highlight the urgent need to address the issue of hybrid products that 'straddle' and 'impact' different regulators. They openly call for the establishment of the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) to improve regulatory co-ordination and resolve 'cross-cutting issues'.
Moneylife had pointed out earlier (see here), that there was something amiss in this bizarre drama that is being played out between the insurance and capital market regulators. We were among the first to reveal that this was possibly a deliberately created crisis by vested interests in the finance ministry.
In a draft paper to be presented before the 'Conference on South Asian Financial Systems at a crossroad: Promoting Stability and growth' in November 2009, Dr Krishnan specifically highlighted the blurring nature of financial products. The exact text in the paper is: "Another issue is that much of the growth in insurance penetration is as a result of selling of products such as the Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) which is essentially a mutual fund product. The relatively better performance of ULIPs could be attributed, inter alia, to higher commission in insurance ULIPs than for mutual fund products. Thus, there is a blurring of products wherein financial instruments are partaking of multiple characteristics of investment, pension and insurance etc. Some changes in regulatory architecture would be necessary to address this, on which we focus later in the paper," mentions the draft.
It is obvious that the finance ministry has been aiming for the creation of a super-regulator euphemistically called FSDC. The overlapping nature of investment-cum-insurance products offered by life insurance companies provided the right cause for the ministry to make a case for it. With SEBI providing a spearhead for spreading the finance ministry's agenda, the issue has now been perfectly orchestrated from inside the corridors of power.
This explains the curious attitude of a seasoned politician like Pranab Mukherjee, the finance minister. The minister appeared helpless in resolving this tussle. The minister had earlier indicated that he is powerless to rein in SEBI, asking the two regulators to seek judicial help to resolve their differences. How convenient is it that the second most powerful minister in the Cabinet completely washed his hands of the matter? We now know why.
The finance ministry is refusing to come out in the open and admitting the role it has played in fostering this regulatory battle which it can control and dictate the outcome. Meanwhile, SEBI and IRDA have been left grabbing each other's throats.
As the blurb says, the author—a graduate of the London School of Economics—has served before the...

A MOTORIST was hunted down by a pack of motorcyclists and slashed in front of his wife and child after running over several bikes in New York.
The harrowing chase, which ended with the enraged bikers smashing the SUV driver's side window open and slashing him in Washington Heights, was captured by a camera apparently attached to a biker's helmet, producing a 6-plus minute video that quickly went viral on YouTube and elsewhere.
The New York Post reports that the driver – who the paper named as 33-year-old Alexian Lien and who was travelling with his wife and child – was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for stitches after the attack, police sources said.
It was unclear what started the dispute, but in the video, several dozen speeding bikers surround a dark-coloured Range Rover with New York plates heading northbound on the highway in northern Manhattan, with one motorcyclist purposely slowing down in front of the SUV and forcing Mr Lien to stop about 2pm.
Others quickly park in front of it as one biker dismounts and starts walking threateningly toward the vehicle.
At that point Mr Lien guns the engine and crashes over several bikes and speeds off in a desperate bid to escape.
The bikers pursue Mr Lien through northern Manhattan and block him again as he gets caught behind another vehicle, with one biker yanking open his door.
But Mr Lien guns it again and manages to get away after knocking another bike to the ground.
Finally, traffic forces the SUV to stop on West 178th street. One rider then rips off his helmet and uses it to bash in the driver's side window as the video ends.
Police say the crew then slashed Mr Lien in front of his wife and child. No arrests have been made and police are investigating the assault.

Your answer is one click away!
I have a very simple Shiny app, with code at the bottom of the question.
The app allows us to look at the years 2000, and 2001. In both cases, California is the darkest state, since it has the highest values (500 and 1000, respectively).
My issue is that I would like to set the scale for colors to be fixed across both years. Notice that California has a dark blue for the first year (corresponding to the value of 1000).
Notice now that California has the exact same dark blue for the second year (corresponding to the value of 500).
When looking at the choropleths as they stand, it is easy to miss the fact that the value dropped in half across years (and similarly this occurs in different ways for the other states, of course). I would like a way to fix the range across plots. How can I achieve this?

state_choropleth() returns a
ggplot object, you can use
scale_fill_gradient(). You can get the range of all the data with
So if
renderPlot() returns:
print(p + scale_fill_gradient(limits = range(df$value))
it should do the job.
