ABS Chairman, President and CEO Christopher J Wiernicki has set out his priorities as incoming International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) chairman, emphasizing the unique role the organization plays in promoting global safety and security.
The IACS strategic plan has been designed to address both the current and future needs of the shipping industry by focusing on three key areas: structural, machinery and cyber system integrity.
"By focusing on these three legs of the safety stool, I believe we can build on IACS' recent achievements and set out an agenda that addresses existing and emerging challenges," says Wiernicki. "My priorities for 2015-2016 strike a balance between the completion of ongoing projects and the need to look forward and formulate the next generation of IACS guidelines, unified and procedural requirements."
In the coming year, Wiernicki's focus areas also include ensuring a smooth completion of the initial round of audits for the IMO Goal-Based Standards process.
He will also advance the creation of a cyber-system safety framework that addresses control systems, software quality assurance, data integrity and cyber security enhancing the initiative that was commenced in 2014.
Wiernicki will further seek to ensure that the IACS Quality System Certification Scheme (QSCS) remains the gold standard for classification society performance.
Wiernicki, who assumed the role of IACS Chairman at the end of the 71st session of the IACS Council in Paris on July 2, 2015, singled out the importance of IACS in supporting the industry at a time when more stringent regulatory requirements are being formulated and implemented.
"IACS' relationships, extensive technical knowledge, experience and independence place it in a unique position to work with regulators and industry, he says. "IACS will continue to reach out and strengthen relationships with all parties, continuing to demonstrate that its commitment to safety, quality and environmental protection are more important than ever."
(Houston) Christopher J. Wiernicki, the Chairman, President and CEO of ABS, a leading provider of maritime shipping and offshore classification services, was elected Chairman of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) on July 2, 2015.
Wiernicki was preceded in the position by Philippe Donche-Gay, Executive Vice President and head of Marine & Offshore at Bureau Veritas. Like his predecessor, Wiernicki will lead IACS for one year.

The first remote-controlled ferry demonstrator could hit the water within four to five years thanks to a new wave of research into operational efficiency based on ship intelligence solutions.
The prediction was made by Oskar Levander, VP for innovation, engineering and technology at Rolls-Royce Marine in Finland ahead of next month's 40th annual Interferry conference in Copenhagen, where technical innovations will be a central theme of the trade association's agenda.
Levander will suggest that the maritime industry is at the dawn of an era in which ship intelligence is one of the main technology trends – driving advances such as increased automation, smart controls, robotics, optimisation/decision support tools, equipment/system health management and predictive maintenance schemes.
He believes that ship intelligence will also drive the development of remote control and autonomous solutions, stressing: "Today there is a lot of R&D focus on unmanned airplanes and driverless land-based vehicles and society is becoming more prepared to accept these game-changing solutions. It is only a question of time as to when shipping will follow the same path."
According to Levander, the first unmanned commercial ships are likely be locally operated vessels since single flag states can permit their operation before international regulations are in place. In his view, ferries would be a prime candidate for early adoption because they operate within a confined area and in addition there is a clear desire to address crew costs.
He adds that studies indicate most essential technology building blocks are already in place, but practical marine solutions will still require some development efforts.
Rolls-Royce is leading a new €6.6 million ($7.3 million) project that could pave the way for autonomous ships. The Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications Initiative will produce the specification and preliminary designs for the next generation of advanced ship solutions.
The project is funded by Tekes (Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and will bring together universities, ship designers, equipment manufacturers and classification societies.
The project will run until the end of 2017 and will look at research carried out to date before exploring the business case for autonomous applications, the safety and security implications of designing and operating remotely operated ships, the legal and regulatory implications and the existence and readiness of a supplier network able to deliver commercially applicable products in the short to medium term.
The technological work stream, which will be led by Rolls-Royce, will encompass the implications of remote control and autonomy of ships for propulsion, deck machinery and automation and control, using, where possible, established technology for rapid commercialization.

The NGO Shipbreaking Platform has called for urgent action to stop dangerous working conditions after four workers died following a gas cylinder explosion in a shipbreaking yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh. The condition of four more workers is still critical, after suffering severe burn injuries in the blast.
The accident happened on September 5 at the Shital Ship Breaking yard, established in 2011.
According to the yard management, the eight workers were hit by the cylinder blast when they were getting ready for work, reported local media.
Three of the workers received only basic care and were sent back home. Later they were admitted to the Chittagong Medical College Hospital when their condition had deteriorated. Five others were already being treated at the hospital; however, Khokon, Moksedul, Alamin and Shajahan succumbed to their injuries and died in hospital. Today, Nadim, Pasha, Abdur Rouf and Mannan are still fighting for their lives, reports the NGO.
"This terrible accident and the deaths of the workers are painful reminders of the dangerous working conditions that are prevalent at the shipbreaking yards of Bangladesh," said Muhammed Ali Shahin, coordinator of the NGO Shipbreaking Platform in Bangladesh. "Continued lack of proper procedures, adequate infrastructure and equipment and sufficient training are the root causes for such deadly accidents. We demand that all yard owners and the relevant authorities push for drastic change and ensure a safe and sound working environment in the yards. The yard management must be held responsible."
It was only after local NGOs, trade union affiliates and member organisations of the NGO Shipbreaking Platform, contacted the Bangladesh Shipbreakers Association (BSBA) that the workers received better treatment in the hospital. The Ship Breaking Workers Trade Union Forum and Platform member organization BILS demanded proper care and treatment and reminded the yard owners about their obligation to provide compensation to the victims and their families. On September 10, after three of the injured workers had already died in the hospital, activists and citizens formed a human chain in Chittagong to protest against the lack of response from the yard owners.
"It is irresponsible of shipowners to continue to ignore what is happening in Bangladesh and to perpetuate a situation of exploitation and unsafe working conditions by choosing these yards to maximize their profits instead of demanding responsible ship recycling yards," said Patrizia Heidegger, Executive Director of the NGO Shipbreaking Platform.
The Daily Star, the leading English-speaking newspaper in Bangladesh, commented that "it is unacceptable that an industry as huge and risk-prone as shipbreaking should still be in such a primitive state that allows these horrible accidents to occur. The apathy and negligence demonstrated by employers violate basic labor laws that make it mandatory for workplaces to maintain minimum safety standards."
According to information gathered by the NGO Shipbreaking Platform and its member organizations, in 2015 alone 12 shipbreaking workers have died on the job, and 17 more were severely injured. Last year, 17 shipbreaking workers died in Bangladesh, and at least 37 were injured.

The heads of seven of the eight political groups of the European Parliament's environment committee have written to the environment ministers of the 28 E.U. countries urging them to include international shipping and aviation in COP21's global climate deal.
The ministers will be meeting on September 18 to finalize the E.U. position for COP21 – the U.N.'s meeting on climate change scheduled for Paris in December.
The heads of the political groups on the Environment Committee said: "To promote increased climate ambition from ICAO and IMO, like all the other sectors of the global economy, aviation and international shipping require an emissions reduction target. There is no reasonable excuse to continue exempting these two economy sectors from the global policy framework. Aviation and shipping need to contribute in the same way that is required of all UNFCCC Parties, large and small."
The European Parliament called last week for the establishment of an E.U. 2030 emissions reduction target for shipping and measures for the reduction of ships' speed (slow steaming).
Sotiris Raptis, clean shipping officer at sustainable transport group Transport & Environment, commented: "It's simply fair to demand from two economic sectors with emissions the size of Germany and South Korea to reduce CO2 emissions in line with keeping the global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius. The IMO and ICAO have been procrastinating so far. The time for action has come."
The IMO's development of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) are the first-ever international agreements on CO2 emissions in any sector. However, a number of countries still believe that this is insufficient if shipping is going to be able to contribute to actual reductions in CO2 emissions and the 2°C goal of the international climate negotiations.
Several mechanisms to enhance ships' operational efficiency have therefore been proposed. DNV GL explains: "These follow a three-stage approach; data collection, the development and testing of an efficiency calculation methodology and the eventual roll-out of the mechanism as a mandatory performance standard. Timelines have not been stipulated, only that each stage will take a number of years.
"The proposals are strongly opposed by a number of parties who believe that developing operational efficiency regulations for ships is neither feasible nor appropriate. Presently, IMO is therefore limited to developing a framework for monitoring and reporting ship fuel consumption data only."
The IMO's Green House Gas Study, published in 2014, found that international shipping had reduced its total CO2 emissions by more than 10 percent between 2007 and 2012, despite an increase in maritime trade.
However, maritime CO2 emissions are projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. Depending on future economic and energy developments, study scenarios project an increase of 50 to 250 percent in the period to 2050.
Emissions projections demonstrate that improvements in efficiency are important in mitigating emissions increase. However, even modelled improvements with the greatest energy savings could not yield a downward trend. Compared to regulatory or market-driven improvements in efficiency, changes in the fuel mix have a limited impact on GHG emissions, assuming that fossil fuels remain dominant.

Website Design 101: What You Should Know
When learning about SEO, the number-one priority is always to have a clean, efficient, attractive website or blog to traffic. If your website is no fun place to stick around, it doesn't matter how many people you draw to it. It all returns to website development. People want to go to a site that guides them with ease. Use the following advice to please them.
The 90s called. They want their web frames back. While frames were helpful in the field of web design back then, they were also problematic. Readers have difficulty bookmarking and scrolling websites with frames. You will learn, thanks to advancements in web design, that allowing your visitors to cruise through an easy flowing site is a simple as 1, 2, 3 and visually more attractive.
One of the best ways to create a website that looks great is to use a program that will help you with your website development. Professional grade programs have the tools to help you create a site without having to code everything from scratch. An unattractive website will not attract visitors.
Speed is important in the Internet, and this is why you need to see to it that your website loads fast. If a visitor has to sit and wait for several minutes while your pages load, they are almost certainly going to click away from your site and go somewhere else, and they probably will not come back to your site.
Never use an overabundance of conflicting fonts on your website. Also consider how the fonts look on a regular screen. Small serif fonts are harder to read. The majority of sites utilize Verdana, which is easy to read in any size or color.
Minimize your web page's size. Some users have slower connections and will lose interest if a website takes too long to load. You don't want your visitors waiting for each page to load because they may just end up leaving.
Alt Tags
ALT tags are a critical part of incorporating images into your site. These tags make it easy for those with disabled graphics and offer descriptions for those who are impaired visually and make use of translation tools for images. You can also optimize links further if the images you have are shown as links. ALT tags are also used by crawlers and this can boost your ranking.
Your website should be optimized to include older versions of web browsers such as Internet Explorer. The Internet community loves to hate on IE, but in truth, a large portion of Internet traffic still happens through IE. You will have to use workarounds when dealing with this issue, so keep that in mind. For instance, IE has suffered a "box model bug" for multiple years.
If you are agonizing over what color your website's background should be, don't be afraid to go with plain, effective white. Few visitors take issue with a white background, which looks professional or, at worst, neutral. Text content is also more clear on a white background. Complicated background designs, however, can be distracting, or make your site appear amateur. When choosing a background for your website, a simple background is better.
To design a more attractive site, include useful meta tags per each page. You need to spend some time on creating high quality meta tags so that search engines can classify your site properly. Poorly designed meta tags will not reflect the content of your website and will not help attract visitors.
Put your user's needs in first priority. The site designer should always be working on the needs of the user. Usability, user experience and interaction are all important. These are essential elements you must keep in mind. Seeing things from your visitors' perspective will benefit you greatly.
If you are lost when it comes to web design, turn to the Internet. When you need inspiration, you can browse through the almost limitless websites online. Find a site you admire, figure out why you like it, and determine whether or not you can improve upon its premise. Remember that borrowing ideas isn'tt enough to make your website a success. Then, improve on the design elements you like.
Your links should always contain content in text form on every page you insert them. Visitors can easily see links that provide content. When there is no text content on the link, a keyboard shortcut could be stumbled on.
Remember that you do not have to fill up all of the available space on your website. By overusing the space available on your webpage, you can cause your site to appear cluttered and confusing for your visitors. Try to create a good amount of space within your site's content, this allows your visitors to clearly see the page and give them a much better viewing experience. Is a few cases, empty space could be as important as content.
If you are thinking about different topics for websites, it is important that you secure a domain name for the site, immediately. It should be creative and cover the area you wish to dive into. You'd be shocked at how many people share the same thoughts. Great minds often think alike.
Basic design tools will get you started on your website, but you will want to add some custom options. It is ideal that you add an element of uniqueness and personality to your website. This will mean that you need come up with new design elements that are not obtainable by using the provided options of the host's WYSIWYG editor.
Custom Options
Practice all you can. As you understand each little thing, give it a try. When you practice, it helps you learn more about web design. You don't want to only temporarily learn something and then find you have forgotten this information when you need it.
Basic design tools will get you started on your website, but you will want to add some custom options. You want a site that truly reflects your personality and business image, and that requires some custom options not offered by these tools.
When you are deciding which hosting service to use, make sure that you understand everything that the package will include. Fundamental items that you need details of include bandwidth, CPU usage and disk space. Be certain to know exactly what you will be getting.
After you have learned new programs, such as Dreamweaver or Photoshop, check with colleagues or friends to confirm that you have not missed anything. Obviously, you want to ensure that all the new information you have just learned has been remembered. It would be quite a nuisance to be halfway through developing a new site and find you can't recall the details you need.
Always proofread for content error. You want people to breeze through it. If you have numerous errors, people will lose faith in your company, and it can ruin your reputation.
If you can, you should include "site searching" on your home page, as well as any other pages. This is vital to maximizing the usability of your site, and helping your vistors find what they need. Site searches are easy to make, and the benefits are worth the effort.
Well-placed graphics that look professionally done can really entertain the people coming to your site. To make sure you don't have a bland site, make sure text wraps around images. When you have content that looks like it took time to create, people become interested in your site and come back for more.
Never force the viewer on a path of your choosing or break them away from their current workflow. What you are trying to avoid is having some offers take control of their desktop until they enter data. Guide them to what you want but don't kidnap them and force them to do what you wish. If you do this, you may turn them off from visiting your page.
Remember that web designing doesn't need to be pricey. There are certainly expensive design tools out there, but many companies offer software with similar features at a fraction of the cost. Free open source software, for example, can often help you accomplish the same tasks as paid software. Using these free options can save you tons of money in the design process.
You don't have to tackle the entire project all by yourself. Website creation includes web programming, interface design, creating content, as well as search engine optimization. You should never feel embarrassed asking for help when you do not know how to do something. You can hire a company or pro that specializes in any area you're not well-versed with.
It is essential that you check your website's statistics often. You can then tell who the visitors are and the pages that they like visiting most. This can help you update material that will keep them interested and returning.
Flash is not something you want to use on your site. Flash can appear high-tech and exciting, but it can make for long load times on older systems. Also, phones, IPads and other handheld devices may not be able to view Flash applications. This could make your site less enjoyable for these users to view, and they might decide not to bother with it.
Be sure to maintain your site regularly and do away with any negative comments or spam that may appear. This one is especially important for bloggers and forum owners. A good site designer is always there to take out the trash so that it doesn't accumulate.
Create a favicon that reflects your website's personality. This small graphic will give your site more recognition in case a visitor decides to bookmark your website. A favicon that is easy to remember will cause your page to jump out from a page full of bookmarks. If possible, create a favicon that's consistent with your business logo, product, or theme.
Inspiration can come in a variety of formats. You can also get ideas from other sources such as magazines and TV. Look out for fresh ideas so that you can keep being inspired to make unique designs that visitors will enjoy.
Purchase a top level domain if you are looking to target your local population. This guarantees you are the only one with that domain name in your particular region. This the best way to get regional visitors to visit your site.
Try to learn as much as you can about CSS. HTML is important, but CSS is where real design happens. These are style sheets that provide a guide to formatting for your site so that every page is consistent in both look and feel. This can make things easy to change on the website. If you need to change a font color, for example, you'll only need to change a single line of code.
Using auction sites for a domain name may be helpful, since so many domain names are in use already. These sites can offer a wealth of site names that are up for sale or abandoned.
It is important to include descriptive titles as part of your website. A web search will turn up many examples of "untitled document" or other similarly non-descriptive titles. You'll see that this is a common mistake! You must make naming your site a priority. When determining site relevancy for search results pages, search engines use this information.
Sketch out some ideas of your site. However people react to the sketches you draw out can be an indicator of where you want your site to go from there, it is always good to show people your work in progress as they can assist you with ideas and tips.
Most of the amazing domain names have already been claimed. You may want to consider buying a domain name from an auction site such as Sedo. These sites are clearinghouses for outstanding domain names that are now unused or have been sold which you can now pick up for comparatively little money.
While many people are not very picky when it comes to websites, they will not want to visit one that is slow loading, unattractive and barely functional. Avoid creating a website that does this by using the tips you've just read.
Keep yourself updated with new web design trends. As you probably know, technology changes quickly and you must progress at the same speed or get left behind. Blogs about web design are a great way to learn more about designing sites.

From CNN via the Jawa Report:
(CNN) — The American Academy of Pediatrics has rescinded a controversial policy statement raising the idea that doctors in some communities should be able to substitute demands for female genital cutting with a harmless clitoral "pricking" procedure.
"We retracted the policy because it is important that the world health community understands the AAP is totally opposed to all forms of female genital cutting, both here in the U.S. and anywhere else in the world," said AAP President Judith S. Palfrey.
On Thursday the AAP stated the group will not condone doctors to provide any kind of "clitoral nick." The AAP also clarified nicking a girl or woman's genitals is forbidden under a 1996 federal law banning female genital mutilation.
That there was ever even a consideration for such a heinous act is beyond me.

As you would expect from visionary director David Lynch, it is a movie of often staggering visual power, the most ambitious science fiction film since "2001"; it's also stupefyingly dull and disorderly.
January 15, 2016
There's some pleasure to be had from its misguided spectacle...but only if you embrace the mystery rather than try to define it, which is true, really, of all of Lynch's work. Surrealism isn't meant to be sorcerered into making sense.

What we get, at best, are enthralling shots. At worst, most scenes seem out of a stilted chamber-drama, with backstory-burdened dialogue and stiff lines. A soporific languor often takes hold. Certain moments just come off as kitschy.

text: Abridged Data Sheet DS2460 SHA-1 Coprocessor with EEPROM www.maxim-ic.com GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The DS2460 SHA-1 Coprocessor with EEPROM is a hardware implementation of the ISO/IEC 10118-3 Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), eliminating the need to develop software to perform the complex SHA computation required for authenticating SHA devices and for performing the validation of digitally signed service data. The DS2460 communicates with a microcontroller through the popular I²C interface. Applications include hosts of access control and electronic payment systems for token authentication and service data validation as well as generation of one-time-use encryption keys for short message encryption and decryption for messages not exceeding the length of a SHA-1 result, which is 20 bytes.

EEPROM writes can become nonfunctional after the data-retention time is exceeded.

All values are referred to VIHmin and VILmax levels. Applies to SDA, SCL, AD2, AD1, AD0. Guaranteed by simulation only, not production tested. I/O pins of the DS2460 do not obstruct the SDA and SCL lines if VCC is switched off. The DS2460 provides a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIHmin of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL. The maximum tHD:DAT has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. A Fast-mode I²C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode I²C-bus system, but the requirement tSU:DAT ≥250ns must then be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tr max + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns (according to the standard-mode I²C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released.

Power Supply Input OVERVIEW The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the relationships between the major control and memory sections of the DS2460. The DS2460 communicates with a host processor through its I²C bus interface in standard-mode or in fast-mode. The logic state of three address pins determines the I²C slave address of the DS2460, allowing up to 8 devices to operate on the same bus segment without requiring a hub.

DEVICE OPERATION The typical use of the DS2460 in an application involves writing, reading, running the SHA-1 engine, transferring secrets and comparing MACs. All these activities are controlled through the I²C serial interface. I²C Serial Communication Interface General Characteristics The I²C bus uses a data line (SDA) plus a clock signal (SCL) for communication. Both SDA and SCL are bidirectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage through a pullup resistor. When there is no communication, both lines are HIGH. The output stages of devices connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector to perform the wired-AND function. Data on the I²C bus can be transferred at rates of up to 100kbps in the Standardmode, up to 400kbps in the Fast-mode. The DS2460 works in both modes. A device that sends data on the bus is defined as a transmitter, and a device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls the communication is called a "master." The devices that are controlled by the master are "slaves." To be individually accessed, each device must have a slave address that does not conflict with other devices on the bus. Data transfers may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. The master generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, generates the START and STOP conditions, and determines the number of data bytes transferred between START and STOP (Figure 4). Data is transferred in bytes with the most significant bit being transmitted first. After each byte follows an acknowledge bit to allow synchronization between master and slave. 4 of 8 Abridged Data Sheet DS2460 Slave Address The slave address to which the DS2460 responds is shown in Figure 5. The logic states at the address pins AD0, AD1 and AD2 determine the value of the address bits A0, A2, and A4. The address pins allow the device to respond to one of eight possible slave addresses. The slave address is part of the slave-address/control byte. The last bit of the slave-address/control byte (R/W) defines the data direction. When set to a 0, subsequent data will flow from master to slave (write access mode); when set to a 1, data will flow from slave to master (read access mode). Figure 4.

The timing references are defined in Figure 6. Bus Idle or Not Busy Both, SDA and SCL, are inactive and in their logic HIGH states. START Condition To initiate communication with a slave, the master has to generate a START condition. A START condition is defined as a change in state of SDA from HIGH to LOW while SCL remains HIGH. A valid slave address must be sent by the master and acknowledged by the slave before subsequent START conditions are recognized. STOP Condition To end communication with a slave, the master has to generate a STOP condition. A STOP condition is defined as a change in state of SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL remains HIGH. A valid slave address must be sent by the master and acknowledged by the slave before subsequent STOP conditions are recognized. 5 of 8 Abridged Data Sheet DS2460 Repeated START Condition Repeated starts are commonly used for read accesses to select a specific data source or address to read from. The master can use a repeated START condition at the end of a data transfer to immediately initiate a new data transfer following the current one. A repeated START condition is generated the same way as a normal START condition, but without leaving the bus idle after a STOP condition. Data Valid With the exception of the START and STOP condition, transitions of SDA may occur only during the LOW state of SCL. The data on SDA must remain valid and unchanged during the entire high pulse of SCL plus the required setup and hold time (tHD:DAT after the falling edge of SCL and tSU:DAT before the rising edge of SCL, see Figure 6). There is one clock pulse per bit of data. Data is shifted into the receiving device during the rising edge of the SCL pulse. When finished with writing, the master must release the SDA line for a sufficient amount of setup time (minimum tSU:DAT + tR in Figure 6) before the next rising edge of SCL to start reading. The slave shifts out each data bit on SDA at the falling edge of the previous SCL pulse and the data bit is valid at the rising edge of the current SCL pulse. The master generates all SCL clock pulses, including those needed to read from a slave. Acknowledge Usually, a receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the receipt of each byte. The master must generate a clock pulse that is associated with this acknowledge bit. A device that acknowledges must pull SDA LOW during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that SDA is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge-related clock pulse plus the required setup and hold time (tHD:DAT after the falling edge of SCL and tSU:DAT before the rising edge of SCL). Not Acknowledged by Slave A slave device may be unable to receive or transmit data, e.g., because it is busy performing a real-time function, such as MAC computation or EEPROM write cycle. In this case the slave device will not acknowledge its slave address and leave the SDA line HIGH. A slave device that is ready to communicate will acknowledge at least its slave address. However, some time later the slave may refuse to accept data, e.g., because of an invalid command or access mode, or to signal a nonmatching MAC. In this case the slave device will not acknowledge any of the bytes that it refuses and will leave SDA HIGH. In either case, after a slave has failed to acknowledge, the master first needs to generate a repeated START condition or a STOP condition followed by a START condition to begin a new data transfer. Not Acknowledged by Master At some time when receiving data, the master must signal an end of data to the slave device. To achieve this, the master does not acknowledge the last byte that it has received from the slave. In response, the slave releases SDA, allowing the master to generate the STOP condition. Figure 6.

Abridged Data Sheet DS2460 Read and Write This section discusses the read and write behavior of the various registers and the EEPROM. Please refer to the full data sheet for details. SHA-1 Engine Control This section describes the user's view of the SHA-1 engine and how to operate it. For details refer to the full data sheet (includes Figures 7 to 9 and Tables 1 and 2). SHA-1 COMPUTATION ALGORITHM This description of the SHA computation is adapted from the Secure Hash Standard SHA-1 document that can be downloaded from the NIST website (www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180-1.htm). Further details are found in the full version of the data sheet. Application Information SDA and SCL Pullup Resistors SDA is an open-drain output on the DS2460 that requires a pullup resistor (Figure 10) to realize high logic levels. Because the DS2460 uses SCL only as input (no clock stretching) the master can drive SCL either through an open-drain/collector output with a pullup resistor or a push-pull output. Figure 10. Application Schematic VCC RP VCC RP To additional 2-wire devices SDA SCL µC SDA SCL VCC AD0 AD1 GND AD2 Example slave address = 100 0101 GND Pullup Resistor RP Sizing According to the I²C specification, a slave device must be able to sink at least 3mA at a VOL of 0.4V. This DC condition determines the minimum value of the pullup resistor: RPMIN = (VCC - 0.4V)/3mA. With an operating voltage of 5.5V, the minimum value for the pullup resistor is 1.7kΩ. The "Minimum RP" line in Figure 11 shows how the minimum pullup resistor changes with the operating (pull-up) voltage. For I²C systems, the rise time and fall time are measured from 30% to 70% of the pullup voltage. The maximum bus capacitance CB is 400pF. The maximum rise time must not exceed 300ns. Assuming maximum rise time, the maximum resistor value at any given capacitance CB is calculated as: RPMAX = 300ns/(CB*ln(7/3)). For a bus capacitance of 400pF the maximum pullup resistor would be 885Ω. 7 of 8 Abridged Data Sheet DS2460 Since a 885Ω pullup resistor, as would be required to meet the rise time specification at 400pF bus capacitance, is lower than RPMIN at 5.5V, a different approach is necessary. The "Max. Load…" line in Figure 11 is generated by first calculating the minimum pullup resistor at any given operating voltage ("Minimum RP" line) and then calculating the respective bus capacitance that yields a rise time of 300ns. Only for pullup voltages of 3V and lower can the maximum permissible bus capacitance of 400pF be maintained. A reduced bus capacitance of 300pF is acceptable for pullup voltages of 4V and lower.

Today I was pretty sleepy.
I slept in till eight thirty, got up and got ready quick enough to be at my desk for work at nine. Work was frustrating because of clients being stupid but apparently I handled it well. At midday I dropped Emily off at Willunga for the afternoon and then came home and finished the last few hours of work after which I planned to get lunch and bird food. Instead I accidentally had a nap until three thirty. I would have continued but I needed to get bird food before the shop closed so I headed out and got that and a pie from the bakery for lunch and got served by the door energetic chatty girl and it was nice because she chatted to me about Lovato stuff and was just really friendly. It's funny how being trans I'm often just pleasantly surprised when people just treat me like a normal human being.
At home I was gonna do some tidying but instead ended up paying with and cuddling BMO for a while and then falling back into my nap until shortly before Dave arrived.
We went and got fish and chips for dinner and I was a total social weirdo talking to the girl at the fish and chips shop. Back at home we finished our dinner and then cracked out the laptops.
I added a safety feature to We Are Seeds that Dave had already done the backend for and Dave worked on a work project that is giving him trouble. We were going to put on music or YouTube or something but in the end we just sat on the couch working together for the whole evening and it was fine.
Tomorrow I'm running DnD and one of the players is 14 so I'm gonna have to be careful but I'm also super excited.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF DELAWAREv.MILLER ABATTOIR COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLANT
Kalodner, Gibbons and Hunter, Circuit Judges.
Author: Hunter
Opinion OF THE COURT
JAMES HUNTER, III, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiff, Southern Pacific Company (hereinafter the "Railroad"), a Delaware corporation, is a common carrier engaged in the railway transportation of property in interstate commerce. The defendant, Miller Abbatoir Company (hereinafter the "Consignee") is a New Jersey corporation engaged in the slaughtering business.
In April and May, 1964, the Railroad transported twenty-one shipments of lambs from Arizona to the Consignee's slaughterhouse in New Jersey. These lambs had been purchased by the Consignee from an Arizona livestock company.
En route to New Jersey, each of the shipments was detained at Tucson, Arizona, by federal inspectors. This stoppage was required by § 83.7(a) of the Western Trunk Line Committee Freight Tariff 362-D,*fn1 which forbade rail shipment of livestock from Arizona unless the livestock had been inspected and found to be free of screw worms. Because of the inspection, the Railroad incurred expenses for switching, unloading, reloading, and returning the lambs to its shipping facilities. The Railroad charged the Consignee for these expenses, and upon the Consignee's refusal to pay, this action was commenced. The District Court took jurisdiction of the action under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1337.*fn2
The Consignee alleged, both as a defense to the Railroad's claim and as a counterclaim, that it had suffered damages as a result of the Railroad's failure to give immediate notice of the stoppage for inspection as called for by the shipping contract.
The Railroad and the Consignee both moved for summary judgment on the Railroad's claim. The Consignee moved for summary judgment on its counter-claim. The District Court granted the Railroad's motion and entered judgment for the Railroad on its claim for freight charges. On the counterclaim, the District Court denied the Consignee's motion for summary judgment and entered judgment for the Railroad. From these orders the Consignee appeals.
Initially, it is settled law that one who accepts goods consigned to him is liable for all freight charges properly due under the applicable tariffs. Pittsburgh, C., C. & St. L. Ry. v. Fink, 250 U.S. 577, 40 S. Ct. 27, 63 L. Ed. 1151 (1919); New York Central & H. R. R.R. v. York & Whitney Co., 256 U.S. 406, 41 S. Ct. 509, 65 L. Ed. 1016 (1921); Louisville & N. R.R. v. Central Iron & Coal Co., 265 U.S. 59, 70, 44 S. Ct. 441, 68 L. Ed. 900 (1924). Under § 6(7) of the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C.A. § 6(7),*fn3 carriers are forbidden to charge any rate different from the tariff rate. As a corollary, an accepting consignee owes the full tariff charge despite initial misquotation or miscalculation of freight charges by the carrier. A contract to carry for less than tariff rates is void and will not prevent recovery of tariff rates. It is the carrier's duty as well as its right to enforce payment of full tariff charges. Even though the results may be harsh in individual cases, this strict construction of the statute has been thought necessary to effectuate its purpose to secure uniform treatment of shippers and to prevent discrimination and favoritism by carriers.*fn4
In this case, the lambs were shipped under Transcontinental Freight Bureau Freight Tariff 52-J, Item 385(7) of which provided:
"All expense accruing at the stopping points, such as charges for unloading, loading, bedding, feeding, yardage, switching charges, dipping, inspection and other charges to be in addition to the through rate."
Under this provision of the tariff, the Consignee became liable upon accepting the lambs for all charges incurred by the Railroad ...

Makabayan bloc challenges Aquino, other officials to 'walk the talk' on corruption
MEMBERS of the Makabayan partylist bloc in Congress, responding to the challenge for greater transparency and accountabiliity in government brought about in part by the Corona impeachment trial, today saigned unconditional waivers allowing the Ombudsman to look into our assets and bank accounts for the purpose of investigating any report or complaint against us for graft and corruption.
As signatories to the Corona impeachment complaint and representatives of the marginalized and underrepresented sectors in Congress, we feel it is our duty and moral obligation to set an example in complying with the Constitutional mandate on public office as a public trust, the group said in a statement.
"We challenge our fellow officials in government, starting with the President and his Cabinet, our colleagues in the House and the Senate, to do no less. Kapansin-pansin na hindi pa pumipirma ng waiver si Pres. Aquino at kanyang mga gabinete sa kabila ng malakas na panawagan ng taumbayan para dito. Dapat magpamalas ng halimbawa ang Pangulo at kanyang gabinete. Sign the waiver now," the group said.
The group called on President Aquino to apply the same zeal he had in going after Corona in pursuing plunder, ill-gotten wealth and other cases of graft and corruption and human rights violations against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her conspirators. The impeachment of Corona is proof that all it takes is political will to clean up government.
What is unfortunate is that the President has shown a reluctance to pursue such cases against the former president and has to be forced by circumstances and other parties to take definitive action. Note, for example, the haphazard and last-minute filing of the electoral sabotage case against Mrs. Arroyo. There is no lack of cases that can be filed against the former president if Aquino is only willing to do it.
We reiterate that the same standards of transparency and accountability and the same dogged zeal to weed out grafters witnessed in the Corona impeachment should be applied to all agencies of government, the group said.
Makabayan is a political coalition that is presently comprised of eight Philippine progressive parties: Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, Gabriela, Kabataan and ACT Teachers partylist.

I think by now we all know that chips, chocolates and junk foods are not going to help us lose weight, right?
What about some of the more innocent looking things you encounter on a daily basis? Here are some serious weight-loss killing foods that may well be in YOUR fridge.
1. Mayonnaise
One tablespoon of mayo contains 110 calories! That's even more than peanut butter, and with almost none of the good stuff. The problem is, mayo is yummy! If you're going to keep it, limit yourself to one teaspoon at a time – that's more than enough for a sandwich or a tin of tuna anyway. Otherwise toss it and learn to use other, more healthy condiments like mustard.

United States District Court, E.D. Kentucky, Central Division, Lexington
May 22, 2014
KENNETH MOBLEY, a/k/a AMIR KENNETH MOBLEY ISMA EL, Plaintiff,v.FAYETTE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, et al., Defendants.
DANNY C. REEVES, District Judge.
Kenneth Mobley[1] is presently confined at the Fayette County Detention Center in Lexington, Kentucky. Proceeding without an attorney, Mobley has filed a "Notice of Removal, " a "Notice of Unlawful Action, " and a "Motion to Challenge Jurisdiction." [Record Nos. 1, 2, 3] However, he neither paid the $400.00 in filing and administrative fees nor filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
In his Notice of Removal, Mobley asserts that jurisdiction over this action is vested with the United States Supreme Court. Despite his contention, he also seeks to invoke this Court's removal jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1441, apparently seeking to remove "Case #14-CR-120-2" from the Fayette Circuit Court. [Record No. 1, p. 1] Mobley separately asserts a "Cause of Action, " which appears to involve the December 3, 2013, search of his apartment and his subsequent arrest by officers. He contends that these actions were improper because the officers did not have appropriate warrants. Mobley also complains regarding events occurring during his confinement, including a guard's alleged termination of a phone call with his attorney and his subsequent confinement in segregation. [ Id. at 2] He further contends that the judges presiding over his criminal proceedings lack jurisdiction over him because, as a foreign sovereign, he is not subject to the laws of Kentucky or the United States. [ Id. at 3-5; Record No. 1-1, pp. 1-2]
Mobley's Notice of Unlawful Action asserts that state officials violated the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330, 1332, 1391(f), 1441(d), and 1602-1611, by referring to him as "Kenneth Mobley" notwithstanding his asserted right to choose his own name. Mobley contends that state case #14-CR-120-2 is therefore removable to this Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(d). [Record No. 2] Finally, in his Motion to Challenge Jurisdiction, Mobley argues that he cannot be prosecuted under, or made subject to, the laws of the United States or any of the several States because they do not apply to him. [Record No. 3, pp. 1-2]
Mobley's attempt to remove his state court criminal action pursuant to § 1441(d) is untenable. That section provides:
Any civil action brought in a State court against a foreign state as defined in section 1603(a) of this title may be removed by the foreign state to the district court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where such action is pending.
28 U.S.C. § 1441(d). Case No. 14-CR-120-2 is a criminal action pending in Fayette Circuit Court. By its terms, § 1441(d) only permits the removal of state civil actions, not criminal actions. Cf. Thompson v. Scutt, No. 1:11-cv-573, 2011 WL 2745934, at *4-5 (W.D. Mich. July 13, 2011). More fundamentally, that section only permits removal of civil actions against a "foreign state" as defined in 28 U.S.C. § 1603(a). Only a "foreign state" possesses standing to seek removal under this provision, something Mobley is not. See United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp., 299 U.S. 304, 318-19 (1936).
Simply put, this action is the latest attempt by Mobley to interfere with past and ongoing criminal and civil actions instituted against him by Kentucky officials. See Mobley v. Kentucky District Court, No. 5: 13-443-KSF (E.D. Ky. 2013); Id., at Record No. 17, February 21, 2014, Order of Dismissal. However, Mobley has failed to establish any basis for this Court's jurisdiction. As a result, this action will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and remanded to the Fayette Circuit Court for further proceedings. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED as follows:
1. The Clerk of the Court shall modify the docket to identify the plaintiff as "Kenneth Mobley, a/k/a Amir Kenneth Mobley Isma El."
2. Mobley's Notice of Removal [Record No. 1] is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction, and this action is REMANDED to the Circuit Court of Fayette County, Kentucky.
3. The Clerk of Court shall forward a certified copy of this Order to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Fayette County, ...

Seems like I'm always posting today from something the day before, but I guess it all works out in the end.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when my grandson came home yesterday after visiting his other pap for a day with a gift for me. He wrapped it up in a papertowel. He got these skunks from a flea market and bought them for only $1.00. He knows I love skunks and my kitchen is decorated in skunk stuff. Not only does he know what I like, he is a thrifty spender for 9 yrs old.
He also got John (his pap) a magnet that you put on the refrigerator with the Steelers on it.

DOFLinx - "A powerful utility for cabinet owners to make the most of force feedback and lighting." - by DDH69
This Future Pinball table has DOFLinx commands added to it. This will enable support for pinball cabinet force feedback devices such as solenoids (flippers,bumpers,slingshots,drop targets,etc), RGB lighting and flashers, beacon, strobes, blower fan, shaker and more!
Requirements / Installation: Regardless of using this table with force feedback (Pinball Cabinet) or without (Desktop), you MUST install the current DOFLinx.vbs script into your 'Future PinballScripts' folder. Running the table without DOFLinx.vbs will cause an error. (FF_INIT)
Copy the *.fpt and .xml files to your Future "PinballTables" folder
DOFLinx.vbs is included with the DOFLinx install package. This file is not included with this table to avoid version mismatches.
DOFLinx install package download:
The current download of DOFLinx can be found through this post at vpforums:
It is recommended to use this table with BAM (Better Arcade Mode), in order to get the most accurate version of physics intended for this table. Copy the *.fpt and *.xml within this archive to your "Future PinballTables" directory.
Cabinet Use:
For cabinet users running DOFLinx: This table will function with the in-game sounds for mechanical devices such as flippers, slingshots, bumpers, etc muted. Instead, you will only hear your cabinets feedback devices for those actions. The rest of the games sounds will play normally as intended by the table author.
Desktop Use:
For desktop users: This table will still function normally without the need for DOFLinx to be running or installed. You will however require the DOFLinx.vbs file (read "Requirements / Installation"). It will play perfectly with the original in-game mechanical sounds playing through your PCs speakers.
Note: Any DMDs or HudOverlays intended for desktop use were relocated to the backbox, so that cabinet users will be able to see them.
Night Mode:
For cabinet users who want to play at night with their cabinet noise makers turned off, this table can be toggled between Cabinet Use (noisy), and Desktop Use (Night Mode). Please consult the DOFLinx guide (included with the DOFLinx install package) for more information on how to use Night Mode.
Gremlins physics 2.5 table with DOFLinx Mod added. First table upload so hope everything works. Thanks to TerryRed and his excellent tutorials for getting me through this. Share and mod as you like.

Some days, you look at life and it just feels like scribbles and mess and tangles and knots.
The rain ruined your shoes, snarled traffic, and destroyed one of your best hair days yet.
The sun fried your shoulders into little blistery pockets of ouch, gave you a migraine, and chapped the h**l outta your lips.
The perfect opportunity disappeared before your very eyes.
The coffee too weak, the tea too strong, the honey crystallized, the creamer curdled.
Or… wait…
Look at the photo below. From one perspective, a bunch of twisted up nonsense, but from another? Actual words. Something that makes perfect sense. Something that jolts your mind awake.
You know….
Raindrops have a reflective and soothing quality as they stream down a window at night.
And with a little protection, sun tucks vitamins through your skin, signals mood boosts through your eyes, and sparkles like diamonds off well-oiled lips.
And I bet that "perfect"opportunity really wasn't.
And surprisingly, water is actually quite a pleasing choice of beverage.
Shadow art: the oft-hidden beauty on the other side of our mess and confusion and the junk of life.
When you look at it that way, we're all artists. Life is our medium. We are the camera.
Go… find your shadows… they just might be the most amazing thing you've seen yet.

One thing I love about this Ramayan is its lovely portrayal of Urmila's character. I love how she bid Lakshman farewell with a smile and gave strength, maturity and resilience to a character not much is written about.
