Yes No." This gives you a final opportunity to make this decision.

Step 3. Select the 'Save and Continue' button. You will arrive at the Summary page.
Summary page
Step 1. Since this is a summary of all of the information you have input you may want to read through the entire page and make notes of anything that you find incomplete or incorrect. You can still Edit from this page before you finally submit your profile.
Step 2. If you find an item to correct your best course of action is to move to each heading and select the Edit link that pertains to that section.
Step 3. If you are still not finished with the Profile you can 'Save as Draft'. You could also do this on any the pages.
Note: Choosing Save as Draft triggers a warning which is read to you. "You are about to save this job submission (including the information on this page) as draft. If you save as draft, you will exit the current submission process. Are you sure that you want to save as draft and exit the job submission process? Yes No"
Step 4. When you are Profile select the 'Submit' button. You will arrive at the Thank You page. You can sign out from here or go to the Job Search or View all jobs links.
Locate your submissions
Step 1. Sign into https://massanf.taleo.net/careersection/ex/jobsearch.ftl
Step 2 Navigate to the 'My Job Cart' page then select the 'My Submissions' tab. Depending on what previous actions you have taken you can have up to three sections available in this area. These sections are 'Draft Submissions', 'Completed Submissions', and 'Withdrawn Submissions'. Job titles listed under 'Completed Submissions' means you have completed and submitted an application for a specific job. Titles listed under 'Draft Submissions' means you have begun an application for a specific job and saved it for future completion. Anything under 'Withdrawn Submissions' means you have withdrawn a previously submitted application for a specific job.
Step 3. Look for the job you have submitted an application for under the heading of 'Completed Submissions'.
Step 4. You can review the status on each job submission. You are particularly looking for "Job Status" and "Submission Status". If the "Job Status" says 'Active', then the position has not yet been filled. You can also check that "Submission Status" is 'Complete'. This tells you that your submission is current and gives you the last date you worked on it.
Step 5. Pressing the View Submission link takes you back to the application so you can add and amend items. For instance, you can add another document or change an address or phone number in your contact information.
Step 6. After the 'View Submission' link there is a 'Withdraw' link. Pressing that takes you to a page where you must enter a comment to explain your withdrawal and Submit it.
Note: all withdrawals are stored on the 'My Submissions' tab of the 'My Job Page'. If you do change your mind you can navigate back there and Resubmit your application.

How to Convert Videotapes to a Digital Format
Do you have old videotapes with family videos and memories that you wish could be converted to a digital format? Do you want to preserve the content and play it back on a DVD, TV, or media player. There are several ways this can be accomplished. Depending on the format you want to convert can be the challenging part. Back in the day, there were several different ways to record to tape. VHS, 8mm, U- Matic, Betacam, Betamax, and DV Cam were the popular choices back then. I have done many conversions for friends and family. It can take some time, but in the end, it will last forever. All of these formats can be converted to a digital format and stored on a hard drive or memory card. In this article, I will explain how it can be done.
Converting Videotapes to a Digital Format
Finding a Playback Device
The first step will be to find a machine to playback the original tape format. If you are lucky you may already have one. If all you have are the tapes you will need to determine the format. Look at the original tape and the format will likely be labeled. You should look at the quality of the tapes and make sure they are functional. Once you determine the format, you will need to find a playback device. Ask friends or family if they have any old tape recorders, camcorders, or VHS players. Many people may have one in the basement or attic. The other option is to look on eBay or Craigslist. Amazon also sells many aftermarket items. Remember these devices probably have not been used for a long time. You should make sure it is functional.
Common Video Tape Playback Devices on eBay
Mini DV
Tape Cleaner
You should consider using a tape cleaner to clean the playback machine. Many of these videotape players have been sitting dormant for a long time collecting dust. A tape cleaner will clean the tape heads to ensure proper playback. It looks like a videotape. Just place it into the machine and press play.
VHS Tape Cleaner
8mm Tape Cleaner
Converting to a Digital Format
Once you have your video playback device you now need to buy a capture device to capture the playback of the tape and convert it to a digital format. There are several ways this can be done. Basically, the capture device plugs into a computer, smartphone or tablet using RCA cables to make the connection to the playback machine. Then captures and converts the playback of the tape into a digital format. This can take some time because it is done in real-time. So if you have a 2-hour tape to convert it will take 2 hours. Many of these devices will allow you to convert into different formats like DVD, AVI, MP4, and H.264.
Video Quality
One thing to keep in mind is that the quality of the video will be how it plays back. If the tape is old and the playback is fuzzy that is what will be captured and digitized. Many of these capture devices come with editing software that allows for corrections like color or brightness. Listed below are some recommendations for capture devices.

Storage and Labeling
Once the conversions are done. You will need to store and label the videos. If you converted them to DVD make sure you store them in a protective case to prevent scratching. When naming the video files give them descriptive names so you know what they are and they won't get deleted by mistake. Digital files can be stored on a computer hard drive or backed up on a memory card or external hard drive.

Converting videotapes to a digital format will take some time, but in the end, it will be worth it. Especially if they are images and memories of days gone by. I have done many conversions. If you have any questions or tips. Please leave a comment below.

The Board Chronicles is an ongoing series of articles about the adventures of Mrs M's Handmade as a vendor at community festivals & craft fairs. Mrs M's subsidiary, Mr M's Woodshop, has been approved to create this chronicle for the good of vendorkind.
We decided to take this weekend off.
And then I changed my mind.
We had an opportunity to do a big, highly recommended craft fair in Orange County, but we declined that opportunity. The Lady had to work this weekend at her "job," and it seemed like a stretch to do another event in November. However, this event popped up and seemed tailor made for my solo act. It's set in Culver City which is an up-and-coming kind of neighborhood – Sony Pictures is just around the corner. The promoter has done a few of these art shows in this location for a couple of years, it seems.
I decided to take a flyer into the unknown.
New Ideas
- Just me doing a one booth presentation from the woodshop at an art show.
- Event # 7 of the 11 events we're doing in the 4th quarter. Countdown mode engaged.
- There were 40 booths (some shared between 2 artists) at this event. Live music. The plaza area we were in was alongside the ArcLight Cinema, Chipotle, a Mediterranean restaurant, an iconic hotel and Cold Stone. Trader Joe's was across the street, and the event signage & canopies were visible from a very busy street. Traffic seemed to be built in – which is good. Booth traffic seemed to be more happenstance than generated by the event.
- Without Mrs M's offering there, the number of transactions plummeted. Only 8 transactions on Saturday, spread over 7 hours. (yawn)
- Sooo slow on Saturday. Too slow. Not good.
- And then it rained on Sunday.
- Nothing to be done, of course, so I just sat there, moved the tables closer to the center and the boards away from the front of the booth … and tried to stay warm & dry. Traffic to the movie theater continued, and there continued to be traffic through the booths. Sort of.
- Sunday was busier. And wetter.
- A young boy in rain gear came into the booth and shook his umbrella, getting water everywhere. I immediately went to drying. The father said nothing at all. Thanks, Dad.
- A woman in rain gear kept her umbrella up while accompanying her charge, a senior citizen with mobility issues. Her umbrella dripped all over everything, and she was oblivious. What is it with people? But then, when they left the booth, I noted that the umbrella covered her more than it did the senior citizen. (sigh)
- When it rains, it drains … downhill. I only lost one cardboard box and a lot of packing paper, in the end. No damage to any boards that I was aware of, luckily. I'll un-pack and re-pack everything – everything – to make sure.
- So, I sat in the rain. It was consistent, but light, through the afternoon. I had a couple with credibility say they were going to a movie and would come back after to buy a Christmas present (never heard that one before) … so I waited, and resolved to pack up in an effort to be gone by 5pm when the rain was supposed to get heavier.
- I waited.
- The couple came back a little before 4pm, on schedule. Booth was closed by 4:05pm.
- 25% of my total sales happened after 3:30pm on Sunday. In the rain.
- Breakdown started at 4:05pm. It's no fun packing when everything is wet. The only way to pack the side walls and table cloths was to wring them out, put them in plastic bags, and shove them into the car so they could be dried out tomorrow when it stops raining.
- Ever been working, or perhaps camping out in the weather, and just gotten to the point where you gloried in the beauty of the rain and the feeling of doing work and being out in it?
- Not me, not today. I think it was the third time I got water down my front while working on the walls overhead…. Or, maybe it was when the pool of water dumped on me from atop the canopy. All I know is when I finally got in the Jeep to drive home, I was soaked to the skin.
- This is the 5th event I've done this year as a solo event with no Mrs M products. Four were one day events, and all 5 were in the bottom 8 for sales net of booth cost this year. I'm pretty sure there's a lesson there.
- Go big, or go home. Or, more accurately, go big or stay home. That's my mantra for 2017.
The Food
Saturday Breakfast: Hello, old friend.
Saturday Lunch: A burrito bowl from Chipotle
Saturday Snack: Yes, I know guac is extra
Saturday Dinner: Chicken surprise not cooked in the crock pot, because there was no time.
Sunday Breakfast: I went to Carl's & learned 2 things: 1) the canopy over the drive thru window is just big enough that the drips from rain run into your open car window, and 2) their breakfast is messier to eat while driving than that from my old friend.
Sunday Lunch: See Saturday
Sunday Snack: See Saturday
Sunday Dinner: Leftovers. And a baked potato. And bourbon.

Considering getting a Belgian sheepdog? Makes sure you know the characteristics of the breed. We've put together the following Belgian sheepdog breed information and facts to create a profile of this dog so you have the critical information necessary to make a decision.
Belgian Sheepdog
The Belgian Sheepdog, or the Groenendael, has a life expectancy of 10 to 14 years.
The Belgian Sheepdog was developed in Belgium in the late 1800s. In the spirit of national pride, the Belgians wanted a dog that could represent their country. At that time, there were three dogs in Belgium that were varieties of the same breed. The three dogs consisted of the Belgian Tervuren, Belgian Malinois and the Belgian Sheepdog.
The Belgian Sheepdog was the long-haired dog of the group and most often used for helping around the farm. However, as the breed became more popular they began working with police departments and border patrols. In World War I and II, Belgian Sheepdogs even served as Red Cross dog, defense dogs and messengers.
The Belgian Sheepdog weighs 45 to 65 pounds and measures 22 to 26 inches.
Grooming Needs
The Belgian Sheepdog has a long, dense double coat. The Belgian Sheepdog should be bathed when dirty and brushed twice a week. The Belgian Sheepdog blows their coat twice a year with the change of seasons, but is a moderate shedder the rest of the year. Like all dogs, the Belgian Sheepdog also needs basic grooming. Brush their teeth, clean their ears and trim their nails on a regular basis.
The Belgian Sheepdog is a determined worker and devoted guardian.
The Belgian Sheepdog was bred to carry out a variety of jobs. They are versatile and hard working. Belgian Sheepdogs are happiest when busy and take pride in their strong work ethic. Belgian Sheepdogs are especially effective watchdogs, always on the alert and naturally protective of their families.
With their families, Belgian Sheepdogs are highly affectionate and playful. Belgian Sheepdogs thrive on attention and want to be included in all activities. They are generally friendly with people, but tend to be aloof with strangers.
Training Needs
The Belgian Sheepdog is highly intelligent and easily trained. Once they have the basics down, Belgian Sheepdogs can go on to do quite well in advanced obedience, tracking, herding, agility and flyball.
As part of their training, Belgian Sheepdogs also need early socialization. They can be wary of strangers and should have exposure to lots of different people early on to help them learn the difference between welcome and unwelcome guests.
Activity Level
The Belgian Sheepdog is an ideal match for an active, on-the-move family. The Belgian Sheepdog is high energy and needs constant stimulation. The Belgian Sheepdog should have a long daily walk and makes a good jogging or hiking partner. The Belgian Sheepdog also needs time outside a secure area to run around and play. They like to use their minds as well as their bodies and should have an outlet, such as flyball or agility, to release energy.

I mentioned in my post about Ozotic 507 that Ozotic also has holographic multichromes. Yes, you read that right. It is both holographic and color shifting at the same time. Picture Polish calls the finish "Mish Mash". You may have already seen these, but for those of you who haven't, here's one of the shades: 533.
Ozotic 533 (three coats). I tried to hard to capture both the duochrome and the holographic effect at the same time but it was more challenging to get them to both come out at once than I thought it would be! Anyway, this is a blue hazy base with a purple/red/golden duochrome shift and a fairly strong scattered holographic effect. The holo tends to only come out in bright light in this shade, otherwise the hologram foil particles just look like regular shimmer. The color-flip duochrome effect in this one is not as strong as in the other three shades, so I tried layering it over black to see if that encouraged it to shift more:
Ozotic 533 (two coats) over black. Layering it over black does make it 'pop' more, but the polish also loses its depth and jelly-like finish that way. So, it's a trade off. More duochrome or more depth. I personally prefer this one all by itself, but it's really not bad over black. I may try layering it over a less dense color to see if that helps retain some of the jelly look of it.
The formula is just about the same as any other Ozotic duochrome. Thick, gooey/drippy, oily or airy feeling and pretty hard to control. It's not horrible or impossible to apply, but it's not nice enough for me to call it a good formula. I've found that the easiest way to apply these is to do a very thin coat, wait about five minutes, and then do another very thin coat and repeat until you reached your desired level of opacity. I did three coats and thought it looked fine, four would be even better but it may take 576 years to dry. Drying time on these is long.
I believe that there are only four shades with the holographic-multichrome finish- 531, 532, 533, and 534. My favorite of them is 531 by far because the holo and color shift are the strongest in it. But they're all pretty cool.
This is available from Llarowe (US), Harlow and Co. (Canada) and Picture Polish (Australia).

Wow, that's nuts! Love it.ReplyDelete
So gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
I love it!
I was going to be mad at you for posting another pretty thing that I "need," but then the drying time thing kind of stops me. I only have 575 years for drying, 576 is out of the question.ReplyDelete
Un color muy original y bonito.ReplyDelete
The Mish Mash polishes are quite possibly the most beautiful polishes on planet Earth. I have 532 and 534, and I plan to get 531 from Llarowe soon. None of the swatches I've seen can capture the true beauty of these. Anyone who likes holos or duochromes needs to get at least one of these.ReplyDelete
Personally I like the effect with the black nail polish and the glossy effect is really nice in both solutions :D (have you used a particular top coat?)ReplyDelete
It's a shame it dries so slowly because the colour is amazing :D
Whoa.... mind officially blown!ReplyDelete
I love ozotic :)ReplyDelete
Love on you and thanks so much for the shout out! :DReplyDelete
I'd take this gorgeous polish anyway I could get it. It's a beauty.ReplyDelete
Want. End of all of my feelings on the subject. Shame they're so hard to come by in the UK.ReplyDelete

Report accuses Sudan of 'scorched earth' tactics in Darfur
UNITED NATIONS — Amnesty International said Thursday that Sudanese government forces had laid waste to dozens of villages in the restive region of Darfur, bombing them from the air, burning homes, looting livestock and raping women — while preventing United Nations peacekeepers from going there to protect civilians.
In a report published Thursday, Amnesty released satellite images to show what the human rights group called the "scorched earth" tactics deployed by Sudanese forces this year in the volcanic mountain zone known as Jebel Marra. Those tactics have been deployed in other parts of Darfur since the conflict erupted there in 2003.
The group also said civilians fleeing the attacks testified about what they described as "poisonous smoke" that could have been chemical weapons. The group said it could not collect soil or blood samples as evidence, because "access to Jebel Mara is severely restricted."
Sudan's foreign minister, Ibrahim Ghandour, in a meeting with The New York Times editorial board on Tuesday, dismissed the allegations as "nonsense."
"We don't use chemical weapons in populated areas," he said. Asked whether government forces use chemical weapons anywhere, he said they did not — "at all."
The report by Amnesty is perhaps most notable because it describes the kinds of tactics that Sudanese forces have used for the past 13 years to crush an insurgency in Darfur — and that world powers have failed to stop, despite repeated promises to stop mass atrocities in war zones.
Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, has been indicted on charges of genocide, but the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has been forced to suspend the case because world powers have not moved to arrest him. Al-Bashir has long enjoyed the support of China and Russia.
Nearly 20,000 U.N. and African Union peacekeepers have been deployed to Darfur. But despite repeated requests to the government of Sudan, they have been unable to even get to the conflict zones of Jebel Marra, said a spokesman for U.N. peacekeeping, Nick Birnback.
One measure of the violence is the exodus of those who once lived there. The United Nations estimates that nearly 100,000 people have been displaced since the beginning of this year.
For over a decade, different parts of the vast region of Darfur have been convulsed by fighting between government forces, pro-government militias and rebel groups, producing a death toll that could be in the tens of thousands and displacing more than two million people from their homes.
The Amnesty report is based on what the group said were interviews with 184 survivors and witnesses of attacks on villages in Jebel Marra. They described bombings, rapes, arson and the looting of livestock, blankets and cooking pots.
"Most civilians were killed by bombs or shot while fleeing attacks," the report said. "Government forces also killed civilians who resisted the forces' violations, including those who resisted giving up their property or tried to prevent rapes."
In one case documented in the report, a village elder described a raid by members of a pro-government militia known as the janjaweed. Many died, the elder told Amnesty. Those who fled could not go back to bury their dead, he said, and made their way to a displaced people's camp.
He told the Amnesty investigators that the survivors were left with nothing to eat but bush fruits and tree leaves.

Open Frequency 2012: They Are Here, selected by Deborah Kermode
They Are Here, Stand Here Until You Find Someone To Replace You, 2009, dimensions variable, tape. Credit: The Basement, Brighton
Deborah Kermode, Deputy Director of Ikon Gallery, profiles the work of London and Birmingham-based collective, They Are Here.
Often artists pose questions that shape the outcome of their art and it is through this dialogue that communal action can arise. This is the territory explored by They Are Here, self-proclaimed 'gatherers, editors, assemblers and facilitators' whose practice stretches across media and sites from theatres and galleries to online and civic spaces, employing a clever use of populist structures such as Myspace or film promo parties, as a way to ask questions about important social concerns.
Together since 2006, They Are Here is a collective led by Helen Walker and Harun Morrison. Each project has its own unique collaborative framework that emerges through the contributions of various guests, often people with no connection to contemporary art. Sometimes these contributions assist in the development of a work or its delivery, but in all cases the primary impulse is to find new collaborative models.
They Are Here, Witness, Tate Modern, 2009
16 mins 21 secs, online video, performance
Unravelling the complexities of history and myth-making is a recurring interest in their work. A recent project, Trailing Henry, 2011, saw the collective conceal five hundred golden tickets in various books in Brixton Tate Library, books that specifically referenced themes such as sugar, Victoriana, labour and Black history. With a nod to a Willy Wonka-styled campaign, posters encouraged visitors to find the tickets, with the first twelve becoming part of a privileged party: their reward a three-day outing to explore the philanthropic legacy of Sir Henry Tate. In this commission by Tate Modern, the artists proposed to explore the politics of philanthropy specifically through the legacy of Henry Tate himself, a well-timed intervention in the present age of austerity.
Each collaborator's brief, albeit a fairly open-ended one, was to explore the notion of historical philanthropy and to examine their own social responsibility towards gifting and individual giving. Although they had in common a knowledge of Brixton and a shared enjoyment of reading, the assembled strangers knew nothing of each other beforehand, nor were they given a conclusive endpoint.
Passing through some of Tate's various historical landmarks, their shared line of enquiry led them to burrow into the often complex arrangements of assets generated by the Henry Tate & Sons sugar refineries, to the Tate Libraries and Tate Gallery we know today. This collaborative focus led them to a deeper understanding of one man's profound legacy and, through this convivial group dynamic, a more active way of experiencing history that was also communal and at times performative.
But how might the patrons of Brixton Tate Library collectively make an impact similar to Sir Henry Tate's within their own cultural landscape in South London? This underlying question continues to be shaped by the artists and their collaborators, as the project unfolds at its own pace and we watch how their actions create a tailored philanthropic model for their local library.

Some forms of interactivity are obviously good for art, as they are good for society, and many artists believe that the more democratically ideas and information are shared, the more accessible art will be. This is an important aspect of the collective's work: they approach each new relationship with a commitment to ongoing exploration, despite the often unavoidable timeframe imposed by cultural institutions. They Are Here projects derive their legitimacy from the fact that they adapt to interrogate their own enquiry and develop a genuinely mutual respect between their collaborators.
Their projects can also be a great deal more discreet than the one described above. In a small, velvet-lined box rests a silver-plated spider web that references a mythical object believed to have been owned by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert. 'Prince Albert's Web', 2011, is an exquisite work of art, recently included in the collective's curated exhibition, Their Wonderland.
Here the collaboration was between the artists and the registrar from the Royal Palace, documented in detail through a series of letters that attempt to question the authenticity and provenance of the original object, if indeed it ever existed. One way to approach the difference between museum art and myth is through the interrogation of the object. The human capacity for revelation is manifested through this project, in which we are led away from the object into the lives of real people, seeking narratives that connect different professional communities, in this instance historians and archivists.
They Are Here use their art to create an arena for action in which the meaning and nature of things are constantly reviewed. Their work does not aim to judge, classify or improve anything in their collaborators' lives. The meetings and interactions they arrange are poetical practices which bring together ethics and aesthetics. They are processes that could almost be regarded as performances in which a group of people meets and gets closer, and the outcomes of these meetings are recorded in a poetic form, such as performance, object and documentation, as a means of prolonging the dialogue and keeping us all asking more questions.

If the titles Milano Calibro 9 (1972), Street Law (1974) and Napoli Violenta (1976) mean anything to you, then you might want to check out Mike Malloy's new doc Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s (2012), which affectionately documents Italy's decade-long love affair with the cop film genre. The film explores exactly why Italian directors suddenly started churning out this style of exploitation cinema and also what the public found so appealing about it.
The Italian film industry has always been prone to fads. The sword and sandal movies that came out in the shadow of Ben-Hur (1959), the perennially popular sex comedies and the Spaghetti westerns all had their time in the sun. By the early seventies, however, the Spaghetti western began running out of steam. Inspired by the success of American films such as The French Connection (1971), The Godfather (1972) and Dirty Harry (1971), Italian studios began to produce 'poliziotteschi', cop films which amped up the sex and violence and played fast and loose with storylines and especially originality.
Malloy's Eurocrime! casts a fond eye over the genre via talking head interviews with some of the major actors of the age, including Franco Nero, Henry Silva, Richard Harrison and John Saxon. Anecdotes about the involvement of the Mafia in productions and the guerrilla-style of shooting schedules are plentiful. With only two available television channels, and even those only showing a couple of films a week, Italians who wanted to see movies had to go to the cinema. This created a rich and easily-exploited market for rehashed, slap-dash entertainment, which often quoted its American inspirations verbatim.
One criticism of that could plausibly be levelled at Eurocrime! is that given the sheer weight of numbers, no individual films really stand out. The clips used by Malloy are often short and used simply to illustrate a story, so if you're not already an aficionado, there is no real compelling argument to sample a poliziotteschi. The sub-genre certainly ruled the Italian domestic film market, but unlike the Spaghetti westerns, they didn't travel well – despite odd nods from fans like Quentin Tarantino.
However, for a niche market (perennially represented at Film4 FrightFest year-in, year-out), Eurocrime! will almost certainly hit all the right buttons. As a nostalgic look back to a bygone era of guerrilla filmmaking on the continent, this is undeniably an enjoyable way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon.
From 23-27 August, CineVue will be reporting back from this year's Film4 FrightFest with a bucket-load of gruesome reviews. For more of our festival coverage, simply follow this link.

Is IIoT Edge Computing solution a real Internet of Things (IoT) trend for 2019?
As large hardware manufacturers like Cisco, HPE, Dell and more are building specific, robust and secure infrastructure for the edge, it is believed that there will be a lot of money flowing in the IIoT Edge computing world.
The Development and implementation of Edge-Machine Learning solutions is a complex process and requires a combination of rich industry experience, knowledge of automation (PLCs, SCADAS, HMIs), electrical & mechanical engineering along with unique Edge Computing distributed system. This is used by Data Scientists to develop Machine Learning algorithms which can be utilised by IIoT applications in the manufacturing industry.
For organisations looking to implement these solutions, it is always a good idea to know more on adoption and ask for the continuation of a pilot project for more than a year.
Below are the top 5 things that one should follow to accelerate implementation of IIoT edge computing solutions in the Manufacturing industry –
1) Get help to find the needle in the haystack
With the fragmented ecosystem of IIoT vendors and companies talking about the Industrial Internet or Industry 4.0, the challenge that always appears in front of the customers is to ask for free pilots from the manufacturers.
It is not just finding the needle (IIoT best or cheaper solution) in the haystack (ecosystem), it is how this needle matches with your business and technology strategies.
I know, I am selling myself, but my recommendation to you is to get advice from independent IIoT experts.
2) Avoid OT Vendor Lock-In: We need machine data availability
Powerful Edge Analytics-Machine Learning applications require data exchange with the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) of the manufacturers. By looking at the specifications we may think that it will be an easy task to extract the data from PLCs going through different ways or manufacturer's help-guides. However, the problem is vendor lock-ins, most of the top PLC manufacturer's do not allow "easy" data access and extraction methods neither to the customers nor to any third parties.
It is not a question of protocols, it is a question of vendor lock-in and data availability.
Customers must seek and claim for open-source solutions to avoid vendor lock-in during the long run. The open source can better lead to the path of innovation in their manufacturing plants.
3) Edge Computing and Machine Learning: The last frontier to break between IT/OT
In my article "IT and OT, Friends or Foes in the Industrial Internet of Things?" I was optimistic about the quick convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operations Technology (OT), I was wrong. If you visit and inspect a manufacturing plant floor, you will see how much progress is still to be made.
Edge Analytics is a key component in the integration of IT & OT and requires a knowledge of both to make it work. The lack of skills & knowledge in the IT and OT fields impact the business & operations and creates a dilemma on which department should lead the Edge Analytics projects.
Manufacturing companies need a role with authority (Chief IIoT Officer or CIIoT) and resources to lead the IT/OT convergence strategy.
4) Do not stop by the dilemma of Edge: To Cloud or NOT to Cloud
When I wrote in 2016 "Do not let the fog hide the clouds in the Internet of Things", the hype around Edge Computing and Machine Learning started. There was a confusion about fog computing and edge computing and how this layer will impact the IoT architecture, especially cloud workloads.
Today, many cloud vendors offer IoT platforms and tools that combine the Cloud and the Edge application development, machine learning and analytics at the edge, governance, and end to end security. On the OT side, companies like Siemens have launched MindSphere, an open cloud-based IoT operating system based on the SAP HANA cloud platform.
Manufacturers should continue to deploy and develop Edge Computing – Machine Learning applications to monitor the health of their machines or to improve their asset maintenance or to monitor the quality control of their plant floor processes and shouldn't stop because of the fear of the integration of their platform with the Public or Hybrid Cloud environment.
Edge Computing solutions help manufacturers to improve their competitiveness without the Clouds but make sure your Edge IIoT solution is ready for easy integration with the Clouds.
5) Connected Machines is the only way for new Business Models
Security is another major obstacle for the adoption of IIoT in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturers have been reluctant to open their manufacturing facilities to the Internet because of the risks of cyber-attacks.
In a fast-moving era where platforms and services require products and machines connected, every manufacturing factory should be able to tap into machine data remotely and make it available for Machine vendors. This requires every Edge Computing / Machine Learning system to be built with the capability to share data remotely via open and secure protocols/standards like MTConnect and OPC-UA.
Having machines connected is the first step to make machines smarter, to build smarter factories and to flourish new business models as Remote Equipment Monitoring.
Key Takeaway
The benefits of using Edge Computing / Machine Learning solutions are very attractive to the manufacturers because it offers minimal latency, conserve network bandwidth, improve operations reliability, offers quick decision-making ability, gather data, and process the collected data to gain insights. The ROI in such IIoT solutions is very attractive.
To get these benefits and to grace IIoT journey, manufacturers have to step-up and accept to receive tangible and innovative business value.

As death grew closer for my sweet friend, Iris Peters, a woman who valiantly battled brain cancer, our conversations turned increasingly toward heaven. She had so many questions, and as she and I wrestled with this heavy and pressing topic, we realized it wasn't often addressed in the evangelical community.
Why is that? It can be hard to have an eternal perspective when our longing is never fed. But if we truly understood what awaits us, what God has prepared for us, our every breath would be, "Come Lord Jesus, come."
This, my friend, is why I consider my chronic illness and pain a blessing–because it daily reminds me, as Mary Bowen, my guest proclaims, that "The Best is Yet to Be." As you read her post, pause to rest in God's presence this morning. And dream with me about the day when there will be no more sadness, no more sin and destruction, and no more pain.
The Best is Yet to Be
by Mary Bowen
We've all felt it, a "quiet but throbbing ache," as Joni Eareckson Tada calls it in Heaven, Your Real Home. Inside we can sense a restless yearning for more and better. The relentless ticking of the clock often seems like an enemy, snatching away our pleasant moments all too soon. Time makes us feel as if we're caught in a strong current rushing downstream towards the waterfall of death.
Why do we long for permanent peace and love? Because we were created for them. "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. . ." (Eccl. 3:11). God made us for heaven: ". . .so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose. . ." (2 Cor. 5:4, 5). In the Trinity God enjoys such wonderful fellowship that He created us for this same intimate communion with Himself and one another. (The Sacred Romance).
Last summer I reveled in my "happy place" on the patio with the purple, yellow, orange and fuchsia of our flowers. But I don't want to just see beauty, I want to experience it, as C.S. Lewis wrote, ". . . to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it" (The Weight of Glory, 1949). We'll do that in heaven.
Our happiest times with family and friends seem to pull back heaven's mysterious curtain, revealing a glimpse of our life to come. In his comprehensive book, Heaven, Randy Alcorn tantalizes with descriptions of rich fellowship, incredible beauty and joy, and adventures. We'll each have exciting assignments from God.
So it's not just floating around on clouds playing a harp and enduring endless worship services? I sighed with relief when I discovered that heaven won't be boring, because God isn't. We are "destined for unlimited pleasure at the deepest level," writes Joni (Heaven. . . Your Real Home, 1995). The famous poet Robert Browning affirmed, "There's a further good conceivable beyond the utmost earth can realize" ("Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau," 1871).
As we set our hearts and minds on things above (Col. 3:1,2), we are pleasing God. Life on earth will never satisfy us completely. Disappointments and heartaches make us long for heaven. Yet our trials are not wasted, but actually count for something. A godly response to them will be rewarded in heaven. "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Cor. 4:16-18).
Appearances are everything in our society; an athlete's ability, a model's figure are all admired. But their strength and beauty diminish with time, finally pushing them to the outside as younger ones step in to take their place. How we all fear aging! Yet for the Christian, each day brings us closer to heaven. We can accept what others fear, because we know that our time on earth is not the end of the story. C. S. Lewis wrote that this life is like only the title page of a book, and chapter one starts in heaven. Then, each successive chapter will be better than the last. . ."The [school] term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning!" (The Last Battle, 1956).
Mary Bowen writes and edits for Grace Ministries International in Marietta, Georgia. For many years her articles and poetry have been published in newspapers, magazines and anthologies. She has worked as a reporter and freelancer, and served as an editor with the North American Mission Board.
Let's talk about this: Mary shared such a joyful post on our life to come! Do you experience joy at the thought of being with Jesus? What are you looking forward to most? Do you feel fear when you consider death? If so, I would love to pray for you.

Last autumn I started and meanwhile finished an amazing album with Julia Marcell, of which the world will hear a lot the coming months :-). Very proud of this one!
Florian Glässings Album "Alte Liebe" was finally released on the label Timezone. I listened to it today after a long time and I felt very happy about this one too!
I did a theater production in the beautiful city of Bremen called "Aus dem Nichts" which dealed with the topic of the NSU and really ruined my mood for quite some time, as it is unbelievable and shameful what happened here amongst us for such a long time without being uncovered. The director was Nurkan Erpulat, with whom I directly went on to do another piece at Maxim Gorki Theater "Jugend ohne Gott". This one featured an amazing ensemble of young actors!
And there was one more production with Nurkan this year for Kunstfest Weimar, which was a nine hour performance of speeches from the time of Weimar Republic, at its original scenery! It was featuring actors, citizens of weimar and some big shot politicians. I prepared music from the 1920's together with my pal Benjamin Weidekamp, who wrote some great arrangements for a selection of the good old Spielvereinigung Sued lads. It was actually very impressive to see, just through the speeches in its parliament, how this young and daring democracy failed so sadly. Didn't make me feel good about the state we are at the moment either...
Following this major undertaking, I just had the next one waiting in line: my first exhibition ever, doing some "installations" and works around our beloved Brigade Futur 3 again together with Benjamin Weidekamp. It is still exhibited at the Jazzinstitut Darmstadt. They invited us to undertake this trip into another dimension for their festival and symposium Jazz&Politics. We also played two great shows, right there and at the Jazzfestival Leipzig with Brigade Futur 3 and Spielvereinigung Sued.
The next month will see me writing some music for the Swiss Federal Jazz Youth Orchester assisting their new director Sir Benjamin Weidekamp and then jumping into the next theater production called "Maria" at Gorki, again with Nurkan Erpulat and hopeful a very special guest, fingers crossed.
That's all folks. Catch me if u can...

Key Factors or Enhancing Entrepreneurial Attitude
A lot of businesses out there fails during the first year after startup. Majority of them makes it to the second year. There are some of them that still struggles to make it at the end of the second year. A good number will make it to their fifth anniversary, but others will disappear long before then. A lot of people have never realized the difference of the businesses that succeeds and that which doesnt. One main thing that brings this difference is the entrepreneurial mentality. When people set out to create startups, many of them dont know much about entrepreneurship. The good news is you can develop the right kind of mindset to steer your business to success. Use the tips in this guide to cultivate your mindset and help your business thrive.
Thinking big should be the first thing that you should do. You probably know of an entrepreneur who has ideas. You need this kind of clarity as a business starter. It is essential to think outside the box when it comes to your vision. Where do you want the company to be in the coming few years? There are some entrepreneurs who keep on extending their big dreams because they could not achieve them and this makes their business to go down.
You need to avoid having fear as an entrepreneur. They continue to do things the same way theyve been doing them, and they never take a risk, if you are too risk-averse, you could be missing out on opportunities.
Delegation of duties is also another thing that you should ensure you do. Most entrepreneurs out there tend to think that they are the ones to bear every business burden. You are the one with the vision. If you feel the need to look after every aspect of your business, you are going to end up stressed and overwhelmed. You will fail also in finishing your projects on time as well as meeting deadlines so if you dont ask for some sort of help, you wont be able to deliver on your deadlines or project parameters. One of the best things you can do is learn to ask for a helping hand when you need it and to delegate tasks.
You have heard people tell you to do what you love. Starting your own business is full of ups and downs. One of the pathways to success is actually selling the business and if you are so in love with the business you never want to sell, you may not focus on building value within the company.
It is important to set some goals also, this is serious advice for those who want to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. You need to have objectives in place for your business if you want it to thrive.
You have to make sure you believe yourself also as an entrepreneur. Most people dont believe that they can make it in business, you can view here one way to begin changing self-doubt into self-empowerment.

Corbett Water Falls :
Corbett Fall is situated 25 kilometres from Ramnagar. Thick teak wood jungles and a narrow winding road 1.7 kilometers inside is an out of the world experience. The best thing all along has been the chirpings of birds in the background and sound of flowing water.
4 kms from Kaladhungi, on the Kaladhungi - Ramnagar highway, falls at leisure. Corbett Water Falls. Surrounded by dense forests, pin drop silence, this 20 mts. high fall is simply a sight to behold! Famous as the ideal camping hide out, this spot now has become a major tourist attraction. Trekking in the forests, bird watching at peace or nature walks at leisure are the only routine and time pass at Corbett Falls. The forest department has taken all necessary steps to provide all amenities and facilities to promote Corbett Falls as a picnic spot with the difference. Regular public and private transport services makes this spot the convenient perch for nature enthusiasts and peace seekers.
Jhirna :
Jhirna another tourist attraction is situated inside the southern part of the national park. This rest house lies just inside the southern boundary of the Park. The rest house lies on the road from Ramnagar to Kalagarh that runs in an east-west direction through the Park. The landscape is drier than in Dhikala and vegetation is mostly scrub. Jhirna was a farming village until 1994 when it was successfully relocated under Project Tiger. The abandoned farmland is gradually reverting to a wild state and is being managed to develop grassland habitat. The nearby terrain consists of numerous sots and narrow gorges running through typically Shiwalik landscape. The hills to the north of Jhirna are covered with dense patches of bamboo. Apart from being a good habitat for tiger, leopard and deer, the place hosts other interesting mammals like sloth bear and wild boar. A variety of birds can also be enjoyed here.
The area in and around Bijrani once formed part of a shooting block. During the British period it was much famed for the quality of game hunting that it offered to shikaris. In comparison to Dhikala, the terrain at Bijrani is drier and also has more diverse vegetation.
Dhikala is the most well known of the popluar tourist destinations in Corbett. It is located at the edge of the broad Patli Dun valley through which the Ramganga flows in numerous channels. Dhikala offers an awesome uninterrupted panoramic view of the valley, with the Kanda ridge in the backdrop. This sight appears all the more imposing from the watchtower near Dhikala. The Tourist Complex overlooks Dhikala chaur (one of the largest remaining grasslands of the Park) and Phulai chaur. A drive through the numerous trails through chaurs is rewarded with sightings of Tigers, wild elephants, chital, hog deer and numerous grassland bird species and raptors. The old rest house at Dhikala is a historic structure, having been built over a hundred years ago.
Garjia Temple :
14 kms. from Ramnagar, on the way to Ranikhet, is a huge rock in the midst of river Kosi. This place has been named Garjia Devi after the deity. The temple is visited by thousands of devotees from different parts of the state. A large fair is held here on kartik Poornima. Ramnagar is the last bus terminus, from where Garjia Devi Temple is 14 kms.
Corbett Wildlife Museum :
The place which is a must visit when on a tour of Jim Corbett National Park is the Corbett Wildlife Museum. This museum consists of the life history of Jim Corbett. His belongings have made a house in this museum with some of the animals of the park.

On Saturday 26 June, we hosted Bristol Robofest at our Barton Hill Micro-campus at Wellspring Settlement. In collaboration with researchers from Bristol Robotics Lab and DETI Inspire at UWE Bristol the Digimakers team delivered a series of exciting, free Robotics workshops.
24 enthusiastic 10-14 year olds from the local area took the opportunity to explore and play with MicroBit BitBots and Thymio Robots. They learnt about cutting edge research in the field of Swarm Robotics, while honing their skills in programming and problem solving.
Lucy aged 10 said "it was the most fun I've had in ages and I learnt about how little robots can swarm and work together".
Bristol Robofest is an annual city-wide initiative, delivered by teams from STEM Ambassadors, DETI Inspire at UWE Bristol, Bristol Robotics Lab, and the University of Bristol's Digimakers.
Digimakers is part of the University of Bristol's Engineering engagement programme, delivering a range of free technology inspired activities for young people aged between 6 and 18, in the community, online and in schools.

Well, folks. I have some news.
New rules for recreational drone pilots have just been published to the Federal Register.
Here's what's in store for recreational (i.e., non-licensed) drone pilots operating in the United States:
- While recreational drone pilots still don't require an FAA certificate, they will at some point be required to pass an online safety test and carry proof of passage while flying. That test is still in development.
- Recreational drone pilots still need to register their drone, fly only for recreational purposes, and follow the safety guidelines of a community-based organization like the AMA. That includes things like keeping it under 400 ft. AGL, flying line-of-sight where you can see the aircraft at all times, and never flying near other aircraft, over groups of people, public events, or near emergencies like accident response, law enforcement activities, firefighting, or hurricane recovery efforts.
- But here's the kicker — recreational drone pilots are no longer flying under a 5-mile rule and can only fly when in uncontrolled or "Class G" airspace. There are two exceptions to this:
- 1) You are flying at a recreational flyer fixed site that has an agreement with the FAA. The FAA has posted a list of approved sites (MS Excel) and has depicted them as blue dots on a map. Each fixed site is limited to the altitude shown on this map, which varies by location.
- 2) You have LAANC approval to operate in controlled airspace.
Here's the link to the FAA's official press release: https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=93769
And here's a link to the full ruling: https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-10169.pdf
And finally, here's a link to the main UAS section of the FAA's website, where they do a good job breaking down the difference between recreational and commercial flights: https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/
We'll continue to track regulatory updates and are always happy to help answer questions and to interpret these rules.

Moogfest is an annual celebration of visionary inventor Robert Moog and his contributions to the music world, in particular, the Moog synthesizer. Featured performers and artists include Brian Eno, who will be presenting his 77 Million Paintings visual music exhibit, Flaming Lips, Moby, Passion Pit and many more.
Moogfest celebrates Bob Moog's legacy as a sonic pioneer, which will be the thread that unites the festival's rich array of musical offerings. While the wide range of Moog instruments – the Minimoog Voyager, the Little Phatty, the Etherwave Theremin, Moogerfoogers, and the Moog Guitar – will play prominent roles throughout the festival's events, the artists performing will certainly not be limited to those who create their work on Moog instruments. Instead, artists will be chosen for their role in creating unique and groundbreaking musical experiences that embody the essence of Bob Moog's visionary and creative spirit.
Moogfest 2011 is a 3-day event held in Asheville, North Carolina on October 28-30, 2011. Tickets are available now.

… is from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s dissent in the 1919 case Abrams v. United States:
But when men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas – that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out. That, at any rate, is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge. While that experiment is part of our system, I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country.

Similar to his sister, Princess Alexandra, in Nigeria in 1960, the Duke and Duchess of Kent represented the Queen as they granted Independence to the State of Uganda on this day in 1962. They arrived in Entebbe, where they were welcomed by Prime Minister A Milton Obote and His Highness The Kabaka of Buganda, who later gave a cocktail party at his Palace, after a Reception at Government House.
In the evening, the Duke (wearing the Royal Victorian Order) and Duchess (in Queen Mary's Crochet Bandeau) attended the large Independence Tattoo in Kololo Stadium in Kampala, where at midnight, the Union Jack was lowered and the Ugandan flag was raised.
The following morning, the Duke (in the Royal Victorian Order) and Duchess of Kent (wearing the Kent Festoon Tiara) attended the swearing-in of the Prime Minster and Governor General, where the Duke gave a speech, that included a 'message of goodwill and congratulations' from the Queen.
The next day, the Duke and Duchess (wearing the Kent Festoon Tiara) attended the State Opening of Parliament at Parliament House, the first, after 41 years, of an Independent State of Uganda. Afterwards, they drove through streets lined with crowds.

A week after "ARK: Survival Evolved's" DLC - "Aberration" got released and the fandom quickly delved into the expansion's story and eventually beat the DLC's final boss. However, there are some of them who managed to sneak into the what could be the early stages of the game's next expansion.
Glitched their way through
"ARK: Survival Evolved" player and YouTuber who goes by the moniker ThickFreedom was one of the first game vloggers to have beaten the "Aberration" expansion where the ending cutscene brought him to the game's next ark.
This time, however, he somewhat managed to break into the system that gave him access inside the upcoming ark that is believed to be named "extinction." The YouTuber did not disclose as to how he was able to get inside, as he stated in his recent video that he might get into trouble.
He did mention though that there was a "glitch in the mainframe" that allowed him to get inside what he calls some top-secret stuff.
The first part of his vlog showcased what was teased during the ending cinematics of "Aberration." Since it's in its very early stage of development, most of the visual elements were just camera projections that look 3D when observed from a distance. The towering obelisk, however, is already rendered in 3D.
'Extinction' theories
Upon further investigation, he came across with a darker portion of the glitched end scene. It featured a ravaged ark where most of the scenery was covered with lava. There were also huge structures alongside an obelisk that is still in 2D.
That being said, the YouTuber theorized that the lava-laden environment could be set in the past and the lush greenery during the final cutscene could be the events after the extinction. He further explained that the apocalyptic version of the ark could be just part of the narrative and the gameplay will take place in the forest-rich version.
Another theory that he proposed about "Extinction" is that humans cloned themselves in order for them to survive and keep the cycle going. Some Players agreed to such a theory adding that humans knew for themselves that they are going to be wiped out and cloning was "sort of their do-over." They went on stating that the "Extinction" is what remains of the real world, adding that the humans who broke free from these so-called simulations will soon realize that they are the only ones left.
Studio Wildcard has yet to make a statement about this recent discovery. Check out a video about "ARK: Survival Evolved" here:
