30D amplifier
The 2 RU, four channel 30D amplifier is designed for permanent integration with applications that require medium to high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) capabilities. This device contains extended input management functionalities with separate Input Gain control for each input channel, General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIO) and a General Fault connector. Enhanced system status monitoring functions such as Input and Load monitoring ensure suitability in an emergency situation.
The 30D shares the same Digital Signal Processing platform as the latest generation of d&b amplifiers, providing configurations for all d&b loudspeakers as well as a linear mode.
The DSP integrated within the 30D incorporates comprehensive loudspeaker management, switchable filtering functions as well as user definable equalization and delay capabilities. This includes two 16-band equalizers, providing optional parametric, asymmetric, shelving or notch filtering and up to 10 s (= 3440 m/11286 ft) signal delay, all of which can be applied independently to each channel.
The 30D is accessible via the d&b Remote network, either via Ethernet using the Open Control Architecture protocol (OCA) or CAN-Bus using RJ45 connectors. The 30D is controlled using the integrated web interface, which enables access via a browser, or using the d&b R1 Remote control software. The device itself contains LEDs to display power, input, data and mute status.
The LoadMatch function integrated within the 30D amplifier electrically compensates for the properties of loudspeaker cable used. The 30D incorporates Class D amplifiers utilizing a power supply with active Power Factor Correction (PFC) suitable for mains voltages 100 V/127 V, 50 – 60 Hz and 208 V/240 V, 50 - 60 Hz and maintains a stable output when used with weak or unstable mains supplies. Input and output connectors are all Euroblock sockets.

Input routing
Input routing
The 10D and 30D amplifiers provide four analog inputs, four digital AES/EBU channels through two inputs as well as separate analog and digital links, all on Euroblock connectors. The digital input pairs contain independent Sample Rate Converters. Each input features a separate input gain, meaning sources with various output levels can be used without requiring an external mixing device. All eight individual inputs can be used simultaneously, then summed and routed to any of the four outputs.
System status monitoring
System status monitoring
d&b amplifiers incorporate specific functions to check, monitor and control a d&b system in a specific installation scenario. The System check feature can verify the status of a complete reinforcement system by measuring the impedance of the connected loudspeakers. Each driver in the system is checked and compared to the default impedance values for each particular cabinet. This calibration ensures that each loudspeaker performs within a tolerance band, and indicates possible damage to system components. The Input monitoring function can detect an incoming pilot signal regardless of whether this input is routed to an output. The Load monitoring function can detect a possible loudspeaker malfunction. This feature automatically checks load impedance to calculate individual driver status and report any failure.
GPIO and General Fault Contact
GPIO and General Fault Contact
The d&b installation amplifiers incorporate separate Euroblock connectors for General Purpose Input / Output (GPIO) and a fault contact. The GPIO connector offers five pins providing additional digital control lines which can be configured to be either an input or output. This enables the use of external devices to control and detect certain functionalities within the 10D and 30D amplifiers. The GPIOs can be configured to Power the device, mute individual or all channels, change the AmpPreset or to check the Mains Voltage, Power or individual channel status. The separate fault contact allows a general device error to be remotely indicated.
Integrated web interface
Integrated web interface
The D20, D80, 10D and 30D amplifiers feature an integrated web interface to control individual amplifiers via a standard web browser. In small applications, this allows direct control of each device without the need to create an R1 Remote control software file. The amplifier and the computer must be connected to an Ethernet network. Using a wireless access point, these d&b amplifiers can be controlled using mobile devices.

A federal judge approved charges against Argentina's former President Cristina Fernandez in connection with a corruption case that allegedly benefited a family friend during her and her late husband's combined 12 years in office.
Fernandez was indicted Tuesday and will be processed for allegedly steering public contracts to millionaire businessman Lazaro Baez, who is currently being tried in an embezzling and money laundering case.
Prosecutors began looking into Baez after a 2013 journalistic investigation named him as Fernandez's figurehead in an elaborate scheme. The news report said Baez used his companies to launder money for her and her late husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner.
Since Fernandez ended her term in December, the new administration has promised to crack down on the corruption that has long plagued Argentina. Analysts say that has emboldened judges who are now more independent to pursue sensitive cases against the former leader and her close circle without fear of retribution.
Fernandez has always dismissed the accusations as lies, saying they are politically motivated.
Fernandez and Kirchner were the most dominant political leaders to come out of Argentina in decades and are often credited with lifting the country out of its worst economic crisis in 2001. But detractors say their social policies contributed to spiraling inflation and criticize her combative rhetoric, the couple's personal enrichment, and their ties to scandals.
Over the past months, prosecutors were looking into the financial transactions at several top hotels owned by the Kirchner family in the southern province of Santa Cruz, where Fernandez has been living since she stepped down from office.
Local news reports say the hotels are usually empty, raising questions about how they generate the income they report.
Based on reporting by The Associated Press.

Down... But Not Out
Each year MM&M's Career & Salary Survey offers a vast pool of data on the fortunes and job prospects of people in healthcare marketing. Finding the story those data points tell is the challenge.
This year's statistical tsunami was no exception. Herewith, I'll offer three depths of analysis—shallow, mid and deep—in hopes of revealing some of the most tantalizing of a mixed catch of salary statistics.
Shallow End
Let's wade into the shallow end of the data pool by looking at average salaries across the board—down 5.5% in 2014, sliding from their all-time high of $143,600 last year to $135,700. That six-figure number is not exactly a bottom-scraper; paychecks are still reportedly at their second-highest level in the 28-year history of the survey.
Satisfaction levels among pharma-based respondents also fell—but again did not exactly tank. About 80% of such employees said that they were either "thoroughly" or "generally" satisfied with their jobs , down from 84.8% in 2013.
Middle Depth
Adjusted to the water? Good, let's go down further. The number of those reporting they plan to seek a new job in the next 12 months (36.0%) outpaced those who say they'll sit tight for the next 12 months (34.5%). Last year, the spread between the two was 37.7% (go) and 36.0% (stay).
Again, there are two sides. On the one hand, fewer people plan to look for new gigs, but on the other, hunters still outnumber non-hunters—for the second straight year.
The survey shows the motives for wanting to leave are For Better Salary (17.1%), Better Work Environment/Culture (10.3%), and Better Advancement Prospects (5.5%). Yet the underlying reason why so many are itching to move, yet reportedly happy where they are, isn't clear.
Deep Water
What's that you say? Other than the overall salaries going down slightly, everything else appears fairly similar to previous years? Maybe so, but let's dive deeper.
A big story last year was the increased gender gap. It widened hugely in 2013, with the average male salary up 13.1% to $166,300; whereas the average female paycheck slipped by 9.0% to $131,023. This year, the gender gap is still a factor.
One point worth mentioning: last year 52% of the respondent were male and 48% female, whereas the sexes break down evenly in 2014. Since the gender gap persists, that could explain the slight downturn in overall salaries.
Indeed, the number of CEOs (88% of them male, vs. 90% in 2013) who responded fell from 28 to 16 this year, and their average salary was down 34.1% to $232,500. Since many of the other senior positions in the industry are also dominated by men, what this also reveals is that the study does not enable an apples-to-apples comparison. Thus, I'll stop short of proclaiming an expanding gender chasm. Still, one can't argue with the facts: women continue to be rewarded less and tend to get fewer of the highly-paid positions.
It is a situation ripe for change.

What I Ate Wednesday- Time For a Change
6 comments:
Hey girl sorry to here you are struggling :0(. I however am in the same boat. Sleep or lack there of is the smallest of my health concerns. After years of ignoring certain things I FINALLY gave in and went to see my bosses wife which is a holistic doctor who isn't just gonna pump full of crap pills. I knew a lot of change would come to my life once I started seeing her but I had too. My health issues both physically and mentally have been controlling my life in a negative way and I needed to get help. My gym performance has literally just been getting worse and worse. Every gain is gone. instead of increasing weight amounts I have been slowly decreasing. Fatigue, aches, pains, injuries blah blah blah. Grrr. So, anyway so far she has discovered my body is so depleted of FATS that my body has stopped functioning properly. My body is not taking in nutrients the way it is supposed so I am mal nourished. SHe is also going to look into adrenal and thyroid issues.ReplyDelete
SOOO to make a long story short one of the first things she is doing is pumping my body FULL of FAT! I mean AGRESSIVELY so. More then half my macros are going to come from FAT. I am scared to death but I have to in order to get my body functioning properly.
There are other things too but that is just the tip of the ice berg. Sorry to make this so long just wanted to be open and honest. Thanks for listening :0). I hope you feel better soon.Replies
So sorry to hear you're going through this! Hopefully increasing your fats will help you feel better and you can get back to your old self-- plus, who doesn't love a little extra peanut butter!? :)Delete

Hey little B! Sorry to hear about not being able to sleep! :( I hope you find something that helps! I have a question for you - I am confused about net calories. I have been tracking everything I eat for the past couple months just to get a good base for my transformation. I have lost 15 lbs so far and quite a few inches!!! So, I am working out twice a day - burning around 750-800 calories by the end of the day (I have the polar FT4 too!) Should I be eating those calories that I burn? For my particular goal, I eat about 1600 calories per day but thats not including what I have burnt - meaning I really am only eating 800 calories....yikes! Is this correct?ReplyDeleteReplies
How much do you weigh currently?Delete

Looks like you eat pretty healthy and have pretty healthy life habits. I think it all comes down to personality and how intense you are (or aren't) about things. I don't know you personally, obviously, ..but you sound like a very conscientious person that likes to make sure you always dot your i's and cross your t's. In other words, a type A person. It's just who you are. For someone like you, it's a good idea to go out of your way to actually create moments of rest and relaxation... and not let anything interfere with those moments. It's hard to acknowledge as true, but a stressful lifestyle is what ultimately attracts disease, poor health and poor sleep., Even if you exercise and eat clean with consistent religiosity,.. even if you were are a fitness guru, your can't separate one aspect of your health from the other. Clearly, your body is telling you so. Hope you can relax and start feeling better soon.ReplyDelete

IIC holds Second Annual Week of Sustainability Workshops Targeting Brazilian SMEs and the Regional Financial Sector
09/29/2011IIC's Sustainability Week 2011 Features Information on Energy Efficiency, Climate Change, and Environmental Risk Management
São Paulo and Salvador, Brazil – From September 26 to 30, 2011, the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC) held its second annual Sustainability Week comprising a series of workshops to raise awareness on energy efficiency. The event also offered practical tools to help SMEs and the financial sector incorporate sustainability issues into their practices.
At the first workshop, held September 26, the IIC partnered with Banco Itaú-Unibanco, a bank that has participated in the IIC's Environmental Risk Management workshop for over a decade. On this occasion, Itaú shared with other banks of the region its sustainability-related expertise and experiences. The focus of this workshop was to offer SMEs the tools they need to identify and implement efficiency measures aimed at reducing their energy costs and carbon footprint.
The second workshop, Environmental Management for the Financial Sector, took place September 28-30 in the Brazilian city of Salvador, and was facilitated in conjunction with the Environmental and Social Safeguards Unit (ESG) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Taking part in this workshop were 26 participants representing 18 financial institutions located in 13 countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and the United States). The focus of this interactive workshop was training financial institutions on how to reduce environmental and social risks.
The final workshop in the series, Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities for Financial Institutions, is organized by the IIC in collaboration with the IDB's Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Unit (INE/ECC). Its objective is to raise awareness on climate change and to help financial institutions identify both climate change-related risks and opportunities. This workshop will cover the implications of climate change for financial institutions as well as the clients that make up their portfolios.

The Problem
Police Misconduct or Incompetence
- Details
- Published: 14 March 2009
Many times a wrongful conviction stems from the police work done before the case gets to trial. Many times it is incompetence or more seldom, intentional misconduct. As with any wrongful conviction, but especially at this level, the problem is a double-edged sword. Not only is the wrong person behind bars, but they stop looking for the real perpetrator who has the opportunity to commit similar crimes again and again.
The problem is succinctly expressed in this CBS News clip.

Last week's bond market had a few interesting tidbits. New record low coupons for five, ten and thirty-year corporates from Bristol-Myers Squibb and IBM. The five-year record didn't stand for long, Unilever lowered that limbo bar today.
Also found a company worth a look, although at first glance it's more risk than I usually like. QR Energy (QRE) hit the junk bond market with some 9.25% paper. The company is an MLP with a distribution yield of about 11%. That yield is tempting, but back out borrowing and unit issues over the past year and cash flow was negative. Still, I hope to take a closer look before too much longer and see if I can find some positives in the mix.
As always, your comments are welcome here or at the article.
Fool on!
Disclosure: No position in QRE.

My son, who is in middle-school, had to interview someone in the family on his or her profession, so after much debate he interviewed me, his mom, on her second-career adventure as a writer. I would highly recommend this as an exercise for any mother and son because it gave us a chance to talk about me rather than him, though in the process we talked about him too-- about how you get from middle school to anywhere else in this world, which I didn't realize seemed to him an improbable journey. We discussed his aspirations, his dreams, his desire to do big and good things in the world. But since this was an interview with me, here are the answers to the 20-questions he asked about my career -- from the answers you can imagine the questions, or not:
1. My mom is a writer.
2. Her responsibility is to write at least 5 days a week and to complete edits in the time designated by her editor.
3. She works in my house.
4. She works indoors.
5. She works in an office crowded with papers, books and notes. She does a lot of research on the internet and in the library, and even, travels to locations she is writing about in her work.
6. She loves to read. Sometimes she reads more than one book at a time. I don't know how she does this but she makes me go to the library with her so I can testify to the fact that she read a lot.
7. She believes that the more she writes the better she becomes as a writer.
8. There are no requirements for this job. However, my mother has a B.S. in English and Communications, worked for twenty years in cable television, and recently completed her Master of Fine Arts in Fiction Writing.
9. No, there is no special clothing.
10. Normally, she works 25-30 hours a week depending on deadlines. When she is finishing a novel, she works all the time and forgets to make us dinner.
11. It's a year-round job.
12. Both men and women write.
13. It can be done anywhere.
14. My mother has a high satisfaction in her job.
15. No, she's self-employed.
16. No, because she's self-employed.
17. She believes you need life experience to write fiction, a love of novels, and a good command of grammar.
18. Yes, she wanted to write since third grade.
19. She doesn't particularly like semi-colons. She calls them the bastards of grammar. She says it is okay for a writer to use all kinds of words including "bastards" when writing.
20. No, she's self-employed.
Interview conducted by Michael Bock for a middle school class project.
His mother, Caroline Bock, has a new novel –BEFORE MY EYES– to be published by St. Martin's Press on 2.11.14. More at www.carolinebock.com

Who Gains if the Giant Falters?
If indeed Microsoft were to suffer in the marketplace, at least three players would benefit:
Google: The search giant has done something deeply intelligent by developing its Android mobile phone platform. Its smart that they go first for the mobile market, and grow up into ultra-mobile devices, MacDonald says. And ultimately, why not get into the more general PC environment? In the future (and even now) the line is blurring between mobile computing and the desktop PC its all one environment. So entering the mobile arena first (which is not Windows strength) is savvy.
Apple: Apple continues to grow in enterprise market share, he says.
Linux: You cant rule out desktop Linux. It continues to evolve and get better, MacDonald says. OpenOffice, a free, open source alternative to leading Microsoft cash cow Office, keeps on improving, and is already perfectly suitable for most uses, he says.
Advice for Enterprise Users
MacDonald and Silvers presentation offers a number of recommendations for enterprise clients as they consider their future relationship with Windows:
On an immediate basis, take a look at the extent of Windows OS instances in your infrastructure. Create a forecast for your tipping point, at which youll likely become OS-agnostic.
Over the next year, take a look at where virtualization technologies and OS-independent applications can give you a competitive or cost advantage. At the same time, MacDonald recommends proceeding with Vista deployments; even if Microsoft were to change course, it would be a couple years down the road.
Longer term, keep track of Microsofts road map. Based on how satisfied you are, vote with your wallet, they advise. Dont hesitate to consider alternative computing models. And if you want to extend the life of your current Windows instances, use virtualization to squeeze more bang for your buck.

What is wholesale?
Wholesale refers to a type of business that buys large quantities of goods directly from manufacturers or distributors, warehouses them, and resells them to other businesses. Due to high-volume purchase orders, wholesalers are typically able to buy products from manufacturers at a lower price and add their margins.
What is the difference between a Distributor, Wholesaler and Retailer?
A product has to come a long way until it reaches a paying customer. Wholesalers, distributors and retailers are all middlemen that are featured in the supply chain and make that journey possible. Each has its own purpose and set of responsibilities that define their role in the network.
Distributor is an independent agent that enters into an agreement with a manufacturer to sell their products to wholesalers or retailers. Distributors often face limitations from manufacturers and are not allowed to sell other product lines or competing products, however that often boils down to the type of industry and agreement that's put into place. Typically, distributors carry a very large amount of stock and often have the capacity to warehouse goods for up to a year. Whenever a manufacturer is approached by a potential new buyer, they have to deal with the chosen distributor that becomes their direct point of contact.
Wholesaler is a middleman that buys in bulk from a distributor and resells at a wholesale price to a retailer. Wholesalers can specialize in a certain type of product, such as women's shoes, or carry a wide range of stock destined for retailers in various different industries. Wholesalers who only stock non-competing products are deemed distributors. Besides breaking bulk orders into smaller quantities, wholesalers can also assemble goods as part of the process. Wholesalers typically tend to warehouse products for shorter periods of time compared to distributors, most commonly for up to six months.
Retailers are for-profit businesses that sell directly to consumers for the purpose of consumption and not resale. To make a profit, a retailer needs to find a wholesaler or a distributor that sells products at the right price point and in the right quantities. Generally, retailers make money by purchasing goods from wholesalers in small quantities at a wholesale price and reselling them at a relatively high price to cover for advertising costs and other expenses, such as staff salaries, rent, utility bills, etc.
Recently, a new type of online retailer known as "drop shipper" has caught fire among eCommerce entrepreneurs. Drop shipper is a retailer who doesn't keep any stock but earns commission on orders transferred to his wholesale supplier. The biggest advantage of this retail fulfillment method is that you don't need to own or keep the stock you're selling. When you receive a new order, you simply pass it on to your wholesale partner who handles the product shipping and take a commission on that. eCommerce businesses that run on a drop shipping model are hugely reliant on wholesale suppliers and need to be strategic about choosing the right partner.

AMMAN (AFP) – Jordan's Islamist opposition said on Sunday it has rejected an offer to join a new government headed by Prime Minister Marruf Bakhit and tasked with enhancing reforms.
"We have received an offer to join to the government of Marruf Bakhit, but we refused," Hamzah Mansur, leader of the powerful Islamic Action Front (IAF), the politial arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, told AFP.
"We did not discuss the details of the offer, but all what I can say is that taking part in this government under the current circumstances is out of the question," he said.
While the IAF's internal bylaws do not prevent the Islamists from joining government, "acceptable participation for us is the one that comes through national consensus and parliamentary elections," he added.
"We are not asking for miracles. Our demands are realistic, practical and doable. We demand early general polls in line with a new electoral law."
The IAF boycotted the general election in November in protest at constituency boundaries set up under a new electoral law, which it said over-represented rural areas considered loyal to the government.
Bakhit said on Saturday that his cabinet — which he hopes to have in place by Thursday — would "include personalities who are credible and close to the people."
King Abdullah II instructed the 64-year-old career soldier and past prime minister to undertake a sweeping programme of political and economic reforms following street protests.
When Bakhit was appointed, the Islamist opposition questioned his reformist credentials. But Islamist leaders expressed satisfaction on Friday after meeting both him and the monarch.

Revenge Review: The Body On The BeachChristine Orlando at . Comments
It took 15 episodes but we finally made our way back to Emily and Daniel's engagement party this week - and it was pure "Chaos."
How quickly things changed from one Wednesday to the next. Everything I thought after last week's episode got turned on its head here. Well, almost everything.
Let's start with Grandpa Grayson. I thought I loved this guy. He was charming and funny upon his introduction. He took Victoria's side and chastised Conrad for not looking out for the family, but then it became clear that Grandpa's definition of family wasn't quite what I had thought.
It's more about the importance of the family reputation and how it will reflect on Grayson Global. He looked to oust Conrad and replace him with Daniel because Daniel's a fresh face and a clean slate. Since Conrad's such an ass, I could live with that.
But bullying poor Charlotte for the betterment of the company was despicable. The kid had her entire life turned upside down and with Declan's encouragement was making the smart decision to seek therapy. That was until Gramps came along and tried to convince her otherwise. And when he realized Charlotte was about to tell him to go shove it, he blackmailed her with Declan. That was low.
You have to wonder how much Grandpa really cares for Charlotte now that he knows she's not truly a Grayson. He certainly seemed more concerned about Takeda pulling his money than he was for his distraught granddaughter.
And will Emily do something to help her half sis now that she knows the teenager is stealing prescription drugs? Let's hope Emily's heart makes an appearance some time soon.
On to Jack. I've never been a big fan. I especially thought it was hypocritical of him to give Declan a hard time about letting a drunk, overwrought Charlotte sleep it off at their place while telling his younger brother that it was okay for Amanda to burn down Treadwell's house because he deserved it.
But once Jack got that phone call and made the decision to go to Haiti I finally began to like him. His goodbyes to Declan, Emily and Nolan were heartfelt. I loved that he hugged Nolan like a true friend and nothing could have made me happier than Jack giving Emily back her dog, even if he didn't realize that's what he was doing.
I'm normally more of a Daniel fan but he was hard to like tonight. He made it so darn easy for Victoria to manipulate him. Emily has her own money, home and friends. Just because she didn't want to skip the continent to get away from his family shouldn't automatically mean she was marrying him for his money.
Granted, so she's really marrying him for revenge but it's not like he knows that.
The only thing I got right about this episode was that Tyler returned. It was the only way I could figure that Daniel didn't end up dead on the beach. Now... how exactly did we see Daniel fall to the sand and not Tyler? I'm assuming we'll get those details in the weeks to come.
Other things worth noting:
- The picture of the dark rolling waves in the beginning were beautiful yet so ominous and the perfect visual set up for the rest of the episode.
- Nolan prodding Emily to "Sail away. Fall in love. Go make little volunteer babies" was one of the best lines of the show. Very sweet.
- Whenever I think I've got Amanda figured out she makes me question whether she is Emily's loyal ally or weakest link.
- Does anyone else think Nolan needs a haircut?
So why doesn't Daniel remember anything? Will Jack get dragged into the murder plot or find Amanda and head to Haiti? Where will Takeda take Amanda and does he know who she is?
Has Emily's plot for revenge spiraled into truly uncontrolled chaos? We've got two weeks until we find out more. Theorize away.

Legacy applications
A legacy application is one which is difficult to modify to use the BOINC API (for example, because an executable is available, but not the source code). Such applications can be run under BOINC using a 'wrapper application' supplied by BOINC. The wrapper handles all communication with the core client, and runs the legacy application as a subprocess:
Here's an example that shows how to set this up:
- Compile the program 'worker' from the boinc_samples tree, producing (say) 'worker_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe'. This is the legacy app. If reads from stdin and writes to stdout; it also opens and reads a file 'in', and opens and writes a file 'out'. It takes one command-line argument: the number of CPU seconds to use.
- Compile the program 'wrapper' from the boinc_samples tree, producing (say) 'wrapper_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe'. This program executes your legacy application, and acts as a proxy for it (to report CPU time etc.).
- Create an application named 'worker', and a corresponding directory 'project/apps/worker'. In this directory, create a directory 'wrapper_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe'. Put the files 'wrapper_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe', and 'worker_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe' there.
- In the same directory, create a file 'job.xml=job_1.12.xml' (1.12 is a version number) containing
<job_desc> <task> <application>worker_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe</application> <stdin_filename>stdin</stdin_filename> <stdout_filename>stdout</stdout_filename> <command_line>10</command_line> </task> </job_desc>This file is read by 'wrapper'; it tells it the name of the legacy program, what files to connect to its stdin/stdout, and a command line.
- Create a workunit template file
<file_info> <number>0</number> </file_info> <file_info> <number>1</number> </file_info> <workunit> <file_ref> <file_number>0</file_number> <open_name>in</open_name> <copy_file/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_number>1</file_number> <open_name>stdin</open_name> </file_ref> <rsc_fpops_bound>1000000000000</rsc_fpops_bound> <rsc_fpops_est>1000000000000</rsc_fpops_est> </workunit>and a result template file
<file_info> <name><OUTFILE_0/></name> <generated_locally/> <upload_when_present/> <max_nbytes>5000000</max_nbytes> <url><UPLOAD_URL/></url> </file_info> <file_info> <name><OUTFILE_1/></name> <generated_locally/> <upload_when_present/> <max_nbytes>5000000</max_nbytes> <url><UPLOAD_URL/></url> </file_info> <result> <file_ref> <file_name><OUTFILE_0/></file_name> <open_name>out</open_name> <copy_file/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name><OUTFILE_1/></file_name> <open_name>stdout</open_name> </file_ref> </result>Note that the files opened directly by the legacy program must have the <copy_file> tag.
- Run update_versions to create an app version.
- Run a script like
cp download/input `bin/dir_hier_path input` cp download/input2 `bin/dir_hier_path input2` bin/create_work -appname worker -wu_name worker_nodelete \ -wu_template templates/worker_wu \ -result_template templates/worker_result \ input input2to generate a workunit.
- This requires version 5.5 or higher of the BOINC core client.
- Multiple tasks per job is not implemented yet. Future versions of wrapper may allow you to run multiple applications in sequence (as specified in the job.xml file).
- TODO: provide a way for projects to supply an animated GIF which is shown (with user/team credit text) as screensaver graphics.
- If the wrapper itself has command-line arguments (e.g., specified in the workunit template) these are passed to the application, after those specified in the job file.
- If the wrapper is used in standalone mode (while debugging), you have to provide the input files with the proper logical, not physical, names.
- The general form of the job file is:
<job_desc> <task> <application>worker_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe</application> <stdin_filename>stdin_file</stdin_filename> <stdout_filename>stdout_file</stdout_filename> [ <stderr_filename>stderr_file</stderr_filename> ] [ <command_line>--foo bar</command_line> ] </task> </job_desc>
To understand how all this works: at the beginning of execution, the file layout is:
|Project directory
|slot directory
|in (copy of project/input)
|job.xml (link to project/job_1.12.xml)
|stdin (link to project/input2)
|stdout (link to project/worker_nodelete_0)

The wrapper program executes the worker, connecting its stdin to project/input2 and its stdout to project/worker_nodelete_0. The worker program opens 'in' for reading and 'out' for writing.
When the worker program finishes, the wrapper sees this and exits. Then the BOINC core client copies slot/out to project/worker_nodelete_1.

EVERETT SPRUCE (Am. 1908-2002)
Born near Conway, Arkansas, and a graduate of Mulberry (Arkansas) High School, Spruce traveled to Dallas at age eighteen to study art. He attended the Dallas Art Institute (1926 - 1929) on a scholarship provided by the proprietors, Olin and Kathryne Hail Travis, to whom he had shown his drawings in Arkansas. At the institute he received instruction from Olin Travis and Thomas M. Stell, Jr. Beginning in 1931, Spruce painted at night while working days as a gallery assistant at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. He read widely in most aspects of art history, taught in the museum art school, and conducted gallery tours. In 1935 he was promoted to registrar and assistant to the director.
In 1940 Spruce accepted the position of instructor in life drawing and creative design in the University of Texas, Austin, where he became a professor of art and taught until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1974, having been chairman of the art department in 1949 - 1950. In 1958 the University of Texas Press included reproductions of eight of his paintings in the first portfolio of its Blaffer Series on Southwestern Art. The Ford Foundation awarded spruce a grant in 1959 for creative and experimental study. He frequently found his subject matter in the Texas Gulf Coast, the Texas Hill Country, the Big Bend area, and West Texas. His wife was Alice Kramer. Zigrosser called spruce "a painter of considerable power and originality.

London, UK (PRWEB) December 14, 2013
Published in the January 2014 edition of the magazine, and online at boatinternational.com, the top 100 list shows that the delivery of the 180-meter superyacht Azzam has pushed Roman Abramovich's 162.5-meter yacht Eclipse into second place after dominating the Top 100 list since her launch in 2010. Azzam, at a staggering 17.5 meters longer than Eclipse and boasting an innovative waterjet drive system that propels her to over 31.5 knots, was built by the Lürssen yard in Germany – reputedly for the Abu Dhabi Royal family – and becomes the new largest yacht in the world.
There is plenty of movement at the other end of the list too. When Boat International's Top 100 was first put together in 1990, the smallest vessel to make the list was the 44.83-meter Paraiso; this year's No.100, Reborn, comes in at 75.5 meters overall length.
"We can see from our statistics that there continues to be a steady number of 70-meter-plus yachts built each year, with new design ideas passing down to smaller projects," comments Tony Harris, CEO of Boat International Media, publisher of Boat International.
"We pride ourselves on producing the most current data in the industry," Harris says.
"It is impressive to see how the average size of the Top 100 largest yachts has grown in the last few years," says Tim Thomas, Editor of Boat International, "and the most amazing thing is that, in spite of the 2008 crash and the global financial crisis, the number of new yachts being built at the very top end shows no signs of slowing down. Indeed, we know of 17 luxury yachts currently in build that are over 100-meters in length, with another two rumored to be starting shortly.
"We can expect another 12 Top 100 launches in 2014 that will push the entry point to well over 77 meters in length – a size that was considered remarkable just a decade ago. We estimate the replacement cost of the current Top 100 largest yachts to be well in excess of $10 billion," Thomas continues.
Expected deliveries for 2014 show how the size of the 100 largest privately owned superyachts continues to grow
Due for delivery in 2014 is the 140-meter motor yacht Victory, built by Fincantieri Yachts and the largest yacht yet built in Italy; she is one of seven 100-metre-plus yachts due to launch in the next 12 months.
Notable yachts in this year's List include the 99-meter Feadship Madame Gu, at No.30, with exterior and interior design by British designer Andrew Winch. She is the largest yacht yet built in the Netherlands, and features, among other things, a helicopter hangar under the foredeck. At the lower end of the list, Hampshire II is a 78.5-meter yacht designed for a sports-loving owner that has its own basketball court and features a helicopter platform that can be transformed into a playing field for basketball, tennis, baseball, badminton and football.
The fastest yacht in the Top 100 is the Feadship Ecstasea, which can propel her 85.95 meters to 35 knots. Another Feadship in the List, 78.2-meter Venus, is widely purported to have been ordered by late Apple founder Steve Jobs. Philippe Starck styled the unusual exterior and the interior with the owner, and she was engineered by De Voogt Naval Architects.
What This Means for the Industry
While extra meters create additional work for the industry, because of the necessary increase in materials, engineering, labor, staff and crew, these giants also require new solutions, particularly from designers.
"The development of the superyacht industry, and in particular the largest yachts in the world, means not only a development of new design and creative skills, but also a development of technologies and skills across the board," Thomas concludes. "The knock-on effect from this handful of giant toys is extraordinary, creating tens of thousands of jobs around the world in everything from initial design and engineering to ongoing support and supply."

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2011 Consumer Electronics Show — HARMAN, the premium global audio and infotainment group (NYSE:HAR), today announced that its cloud-based Aha Radio™ platform has been selected by Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. to be an integrated feature in their new AVIC-X930BT and AVIC-Z130BT in-dash navigation products which will connect driving consumers to the world around them with on-demand, interactive, personalized radio. Via an active Apple® iPhone® with the free Aha Radio App, owners of the Pioneer navigation systems will be able to quickly and conveniently access their favorite Web-based information and audio content directly through the touchscreen display of their in-dash units. The Aha Radio platform, combined with Pioneer's expertise in creating the best in-vehicle audio and video user experience, will enhance the driver's enjoyment, comfort and ease-of-use through Aha Radio connected information and entertainment that is easier and safer to access while driving.
The Aha Radio compatible Pioneer AVIC-X930BT and AVIC-Z130BT will be available in March for a suggested price of $800 and $1200 respectively. The Aha Radio iPhone app is currently available for free in the Apple iTunes store and can be downloaded at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aha-radio-by-harman/id355829417.
Aha Radio is simple to customize. Consumers can easily set preset buttons to read back their Facebook wall or Twitter feeds; to access and hear their favorite podcasts news and information (without ever having to sync); to audibly receive personalized traffic reports on the roads ahead of them; and/or get broadcast information on the closest restaurant based on their personal tastes and direction of travel. Aha Radio has been integrated with the Pioneer navigation system to give users access to points-of-interest (POI) such as restaurants mentioned during an Aha Radio broadcast. With a single touch of the Pioneer display, users can receive a guided route to its address.
"Consumers today want to always be connected to the world around them, even while in their car. Through our new navigation systems and the Aha Radio service, we're now able to provide a safer and more seamless method of accessing the Internet-based information and entertainment they're demanding," said Ted Cardenas, director of marketing for the car electronics department, sales and marketing division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "In addition, with the ever evolving Aha app and platform, our consumers will continue to get the benefits of updated content and the ever-changing Web without the need to continuously update their in-car entertainment system."
"We've developed the cloud-based Aha Radio platform in order to enable partners to safely incorporate dynamic Web content into their products. Our partners can focus on their user interface designs, relying on Aha to monitor and add new Web feeds, while also optimizing the data for each environment, such as the car in the case of Pioneer," said Robert Acker, HARMAN VP and General Manager of Aha. "We are excited to announce Pioneer as our first hardware partner. The integration of Aha Radio into Pioneer products creates a system designed from the ground up to be used in a car as easily as switching radio stations with preset buttons."
Outside of the car, the Aha Radio app on an iPhone gives users on-demand, interactive and personalized access to a wide variety of entertainment and information options through an interface designed to be quick, easy and intuitive. When used with the new Pioneer in-dash systems, the interface is transferred to the units' high-resolution touchscreen display and the Aha Platform becomes an additional source.

Study: Change of Culture, Increased Training Needed to Reduce Violence Against Emergency Nurses
DES PLAINES, Ill., Feb. 4, 2014 -- A qualitative study on assaults on emergency nurses sponsored by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) found a need to change the culture of acceptance prevalent among hospital administrators and law enforcement, as well as a need to better train nurses on signs of potential trouble.
"Assaults on emergency nurses have lasting impacts on the nurses and the ability of emergency care facilities to provide quality care," said 2014 ENA President Deena Brecher, MSN, RN, APN, ACNS-BC, CEN, CPEN. "More than 70 percent of emergency nurses reported physical or verbal assaults by patients or visitors while they were providing care. As a result, we lose experienced and dedicated nurses to physical or psychological trauma for days or sometimes permanently. Healthcare organizations have a responsibility to nurses and the public to provide a safe and secure environment."
According to Bureau of Labor statistics, an assault on a healthcare worker is the most common source of nonfatal injury or illness requiring days off from work in the healthcare and social assistance industry.
Despite that alarming statistic, the qualitative research study discovered a culture of acceptance among hospital administrators, prosecutors and judges. One emergency nurse assault victim related being told by a judge: "[W]ell, isn't that the nature of the beast, being in the emergency room and all?" Another told the researchers, the "administration will only take action when some lethal event happens."
In addition to, and perhaps in correlation to, the culture of acceptance, the study concluded that emergency nurses and hospital personnel in general are not trained to recognize cues for violent behavior.
"It is imperative that hospitals and emergency care workers address the issue preemptively through adoption of violence prevention education, zero-tolerance policies, safety measures and procedures for reporting and responding to incidents of workplace violence when they do occur," the researchers noted. "Such actions are necessary to help nurses recognize incipient violence."
The ENA has long taken the position that healthcare organizations must take preventive measures to circumvent workplace violence and ensure the safety of all healthcare workers, their patients and visitors.
"There will always be the potential for violence against emergency nurses," Brecher said. "But we must not accept it as the price of helping the sick and injured. With training and a change of culture, we can significantly decrease the occurrence of assaults against emergency nurses."
The study, which can be found at http://www.jenonline.org/article/S0099-1767(13)00561-8/abstract, was conducted using a qualitative descriptive exploratory design. In the fall of 2012, a sample of emergency room nurses was recruited by email from the roster of ENA nurses and through an announcement on the ENA website. Eight men, 37 women and one of unknown gender responded to the question, "Tell me about your experience of violence in the emergency setting." Answers were emailed to and analyzed by the Institute for Emergency Nursing Research. Only one other previous qualitative study is known to have been conducted to address workplace violence against emergency nurses in the United States since at least 2004.
About the Emergency Nurses Association
ENA, which has more than 40,000 members worldwide, is the only professional nursing association dedicated to defining the future of emergency nursing and emergency care through advocacy, expertise, innovation and leadership. Founded in 1970, ENA develops and disseminates education and practice standards and guidelines, and affords consultation to both private and public entities regarding emergency nurses and their practice. Additional information is available at ENA's Web site, www.ena.org or on Twitter: @ENAorg.

Although I usually like a heavier finish, this is perfect for those days when you just want to chuck on some makeup and be on your way. The formula isn't incredibly covering, nor does it counteract discolouration or pigmentation issues, but what it does do it create a comfortable and light-reflecting base that means you look like you - only better. A touch of concealer and a light dusting of blush is all I would add on a day when I'm working from home, popping out for coffee or chilling out at the weekend. Having tried (and really liked) the Lancome original, but being unconvinced at the amount of product you get for the (£30.00) price, it's fab to see a much more affordable version that's practically identical in every way. (Honestly, I can't find much between them at all!) I can see cushion foundations becoming as mainstream as BB and CC creams in the coming months - but this is a great first step on the metaphorical ladder.
Would you give cushion foundations a go? Did you try the Lancome orginal?
The L'Oreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation is available in seven shades, priced £14.99 each. Right now you can also get £5.00 off in Boots, making this a total bargain.

Today I played around with some more xhtml/css. Here's 2 layouts using the exact same xhtml: layout 1, layout 2. To see what the site would look like in Netscape 4 or a PDA, view raw source code without any css. There's a few problems with layout 1, but it's fixable with a little javascript.
1/7/03 : 8:35pm
Safari, a new Mac browser, has just been released. If your visting this site with it, you'll notice that my news and resume pages do not scroll like they're suppose to. After some investigation, I found this statement from a Safari developer which explains the problem:
Treat overflow:scroll and auto like "hidden" for now until support for those is added. This change at least makes the overflowed objects have the correct dimensions (without screwing up the layout of the rest of the page).
Diveintomark has been testing Safari and posting other CSS bugs. I'm not to worried because I know this is just a beta release, but I hope Apple gets these things worked out before it's final. The last thing we need is another buggy browser to code for.
1/5/03 : 12:18pm
A few more patterns added while listening to the latest Beck album.

I just added a favorites section while listening to my new Pinback album. Today I also picked up a few tickets to Interpol. That should be a good show.

I just validated this site at w3c.org and it's validates to XHTML 1.1 and CSS. Yea! Now I just need to add the doctypes.

As you can see, I added a Featured Project to the right side of the page and changed the background image. I need to shoot some new Polaroids for this site. I'd like to take some shots of a dead squid. Maybe I'll go down to the grocery store later to see if they have any squid in the meat department.
1/2/03 : 1:43am
I just finished the interactive section, although I still have some descriptions to write. I also need to fix a javascript bug in the thumbnail navigation.

If you would like to send me an email, I've added a contact form on the Say Hi page. If you find any problems with this site, please let me know about it.

Welcome to my new site. There's just a few sections available right now, but I'll be working on this site until all of the content from podlob.com has been moved over. If you like to code, check out the source for this site. It's my most advanced CSS site yet. Also notice that there are not any frames or iframes in the source, the scrolling content is also made with CSS.

Because there are people out there who read this regularly and are probably wondering why there were no entries for the weekend I felt I should say something.
On Friday night my older boy Matt was taken to the ER after having what we thought was a seizure due to his high fever. His fiance called an ambulance after he fell out of bed and was stiff and non responsive to her. After getting there they find he has pneumonia and that the infection has spread to his blood and he is very critically ill. He had almost no blood pressure and it takes them a while to stabilize him. By the time we get to the hospital he is on a ventilator and on drugs to sedate him and drugs to raise the blood pressure. He is finally moved to ICU upstairs and shortly after getting into the ICU he had to be resuscitated when they lost his pulse. He is our miracle boy right now. As of writing this on Monday morning he has been taken off the blood pressure medication, off the ventilator and he is holding his own. His body is still battling the pneumonia that he had really bad in one lung and it had spread to the other one and is still fighting the blood infection, but things are so much better than they were even just 8 hours ago.
I for the most part have been very surprised at how strong I have been during the whole situation. I have also been amazed at the amount of support I have gotten from my wonderful friends. I am a much more active person and I have so many great friends now who have stepped up to make sure that we have everything we need. I am also very humbled and reminded about how fragile life is and how in an instant things can change.

I first discovered that my wife was collecting shoes while pursuing a mouse in our house. The furry thing dashed into her closet and, faster than you can say "Manolo Blahnik," vanished into a virtual shanty town of little boxes, tawny pumps, sky-high heels and warm satin burrows.These were more shoes than anyone could ever hope to wear in a year, maybe even a lifetime. The mouse was forgotten as I gazed in awe at this incredible array of footwear. This was a fascinating realm, worthy of at least deep study, if not deep thought.
Let me state at the outset that I am not a fetishist, having never exhibited any bizarre or unnatural behavior in connection with shoes, except for occasional trips to the mall in slippers. I have no urge to bury my face in an armload of rhinestoned mules, or to molest perfect little white satin pumps with rough, whiskery kisses. I am much more interested in the legs that rise out of a pair of pumps than in the high-heeled things themselves. Nonetheless, when it comes to women loving shoes--obsessing over them, buying unreasonable quantities of them--I can see their point.
