FreeFileViewer Opens Files From Audio, Video, Image And Document Formats
One often requires installing various applications to open different types of image, document, audio and video files, including paid application suites like Microsoft Office. FreeFileViewer is a free software which allows viewing files from various formats including MS Word, MS Excel, PDF, TXT, JPG, PNG, GIF, PSD, as well as videos and audio files. While this application does not support PowerPoint files, however, you can open and edit documents from MS Word and Excel format, including Doc, DOCX, XLS and XLSX. Furthermore, you can also open BIN, CFG, DIZ and DAT files, (such as winmail.dat files).
During the installation process of FreeFileViewer you might receive prompts to install various other applications, select Decline to avoid installation of any application that you wish to skip.
Opening Files With FreeFileViewer
To open a file with FreeFileViewer, launch the application and open a file via File –> Open. Alternatively, you can use the Windows right-click context menu to open a file from a supported format. FreeFileViewer automatically adds this option in the Windows right-click menu after installation. Just right-click on any file from a supported format and select Open with FreeFileViewer to open the respective file.
Open Audio And Video Files
The below image displays a video file running in FreeFileViewer. While you might not receive a lot of options for managing running videos or audio files, however having an application that can open files from various formats itself is quite a convenience, especially for computers with legacy hardware. The supported video formats include; FLV, MP4, MPG, XVID, MOV and others, whereas the supported audio formats include MP3, OGG, FL0AC and WMA.
Open And Edit MS Word And Excel Files
As mentioned earlier, you can open and edit MS Excel and MS Word files using FreeFileViewer, which includes elaborate spreadsheets (as shown in the below image).
PDF And Image Files
FreeFileViewer also supports viewing image files from the most common formats like JPG, GIF, PNG and PSD. Similarly, you can view PDF files without installing resource intensive PDF viewers.

MAC Address is the special unique identifier that each hardware manufacturer assigns to every network card, ethernet and wireless, placed on the market. The MAC address is 48 bits (6 bytes) long, and the first three octets identify the organization or company that created the communication interface. The first part of each MAC address always has one of the prefixes (" Organizationally Unique Identifier " or OUI) indicated in this text file, a document that is constantly updated by the IEEE (the international association of professional scientists whose objective is the promotion of technological sciences).
The MAC address can indeed be changed via software; nevertheless, it can be considered as a parameter that, in general, allows to identify a device uniquely.
A system equipped with multiple network cards will use several MAC addresses that are different from each other: in the case of a notebook, for example, one MAC Address is associated with the Ethernet interface while the other with the wireless one. Any USB Wi-Fi key, which can be used to allow a computer without a wireless card to connect to a wireless network, also uses its own MAC address.
Since the total 48-bit MAC addresses that can be assigned are 248 or more than 281.4 trillion, the IEEE expects to run out of them around 2100. MAC addresses are composed of 64 bits (EUI-64), which, are much more numerous and are used on Firewire cards and IPv6 networks.
All routers available on the market usually offer the possibility of carrying out an additional check regarding the wireless connection, checking the MAC address of each client system attempting the connection. By entering, in a specific section of the wireless router configuration panel, the list of MAC addresses of the systems entitled to access the network, the router will also carry out this additional check. It is an extra security measure, but its presence must be remembered whenever you want to connect a new wireless device to the network. If you do not add the right MAC address in the Wi-Fi router's administration panel, the new wireless device will not be able to connect even if you set the correct password.
However, it must be said that protecting the wireless network using only MAC address filtering is certainly not the best choice. It would be like putting a security officer at the door of a room who checks the one eligible for entry based on what is written on a plate affixed to the jacket. The tag can be fake, and an "attacker," determined to enter, may have previously read what is written on others' tags.
A good security strategy, however, must always rest on multiple levels in its own right. Ensuring you are using a secure cryptographic algorithm for securing your Wi-Fi network (at least WPA2) is the first thing to do. Equally important is the choice of sufficiently long and complex password protection. Only as an additional defence layer will it be possible to think about enabling the MAC address check.
Anyone determined to access your Wi-Fi network will try to use a tool like Aircrack-ng to find out the password used. In the case of the WEP algorithm, the keyword is extracted immediately, without any effort. In the case of WPA, the procedure may not take long, especially in short and not particularly complex passwords (see the article Cloud computing again used for attacks against WPA and the previous WPA cryptographic protocol attack presented ).
The WPA2 algorithm remains today, however, an excellent choice, especially if you take care to set a sufficiently long and complex password.
A good tool for checking the intrinsic security of a wireless network is Cloud Cracker. This is a paid service that requires, at the input, a log file containing the handshake packets previously captured with software such as Aircrack-ng. The site will analyze the transmitted file by starting a sort of brute-force attack that takes advantage of the enormous computing power offered: it is possible to use hundreds of CPUs simultaneously to divide the workload and speed up the "recovery" of the Wi-Fi password. For each "job," Cloud Cracker indicates the time needed to trace the password used to protect the wireless network and the price required to complete the assigned task. The user can decide whether to proceed, paying the indicated amount, or to cancel the operation.
The MAC address of the network card is often printed on the label physically applied to the hardware, or it can be deduced, in a Windows environment, by opening the command prompt window (Start, Run …, cmd ) and typing the following: IPCONFIG / all. Therefore, it will be necessary to carefully analyze the output obtained and note the " physical address " indicated under " Wireless LAN card Connection to the wireless network ".
This MAC address, consisting of six pairs of digits, can be entered in the router administration panel in the Wireless access or MAC address access-list section if you also want to enable MAC filtering.
For example, the following setting (the interface is that of a Linksys router) allows you to activate the filter on the MAC address ( Restrict access ) and to allow access to the Wi-Fi network only to the explicitly indicated addresses ( Permit only ).
To specify the MAC addresses associated with the authorized client systems, in this case, it is necessary to click on the Edit MAC address access-list and then type them, one after the other, in the appropriate boxes. Looking at this document, you can see that the first card is produced by Hon Hai Precision, the second by Belkin, and the third by AzureWave.
In Linux, to retrieve the MAC address, simply open a terminal window and then type the command ifconfig-a checking what is displayed in correspondence with the indication HWaddr, next to the entry relating to the wireless interface (often referred to as " wlan0 ").
On Mac OS X systems, just access the System Preferences … window, click on the Network icon, select the wireless interface, and click on the Advanced button. The MAC address will be shown in the window that will appear on the screen.
The MAC address of any mobile device can be extracted simply by accessing the device settings. In the case of an Android smartphone or tablet, for example, just "tap" on Info on the device, on Status, and then scroll down to locate the item Wi-Fi MAC address (the Wi-Fi connection must be active).

KABUL -- Heightened differences between the Taliban's political and military wings have hampered the peace process and escalated violence, Afghan officials and analysts say.
Rifts between the movement's political and military wings are nothing new, but they have intensified in light of the US-Taliban deal that was signed last February, said Rahmatullah Andar, spokesman for the National Security Council.
"[Delegates of the] political arm of the Taliban in Doha have agreed to cut ties with and even fight against al-Qaeda, the 'Islamic State of Iraq and Syria' [ISIS] and other terrorist groups, but their military arm does not want that, no matter the cost," Andar told Salaam Times.
Now, the movement's political wing has decided to do something about its military colleagues' intransigence, he said.
It has pledged not to host terror groups any longer and has guaranteed not to allow Afghanistan to be used as a launching pad for future attacks on the United States.
Taliban's emphasis on war
"When the Taliban's political office first opened in Qatar, some of their delegates were willing to negotiate, but others, especially within the military wing, emphasised war and intended to seize power through war," said Asif Nang, former Laghman and Farah governor.
"Members of the Taliban's military do not approve of the Doha agreement and disagree with the political representatives ... in Qatar," he said. That feud "has slowed the peace process and led to an escalation of violence in Afghanistan", Nang added.
Another reason for the rift is that members of the military wing consider "jihad" the only way to achieve their goals, he said.
The political wing, meanwhile, cites a Hadith that states that in war, "fierce confrontation with the enemy" should be avoided as it engenders losses, damage and danger.
"It is possible to attain goals and achieve victory through various safe tactics, such as negotiations," Nang said, quoting the Hadith.
"The Taliban's political leaders are not in favour of escalating violence during the talks, but their military wing has done so against the wishes of their politicians, proving to them that they are the decision-makers on the battlefield and that what [Taliban politicians] do does not affect their activities," Nang said.
"The escalation of violence by the Taliban's military wing has embarrassed their political representatives who lead the negotiations," he noted.
"The reason for the stalemate in the peace talks is that some circles inside the Taliban are waiting for American troops to leave Afghanistan before they attack Kabul and seize power by force," Mohammad Younus Qanooni, a former vice president, said at a February 14 news conference in Kabul.
"They believe there is no need to discuss gaining access to power through negotiations," he said.
"The Taliban's younger generation and its military arm say there is no need for peace now and that they are not going to negotiate," he said. "Instead, they want to gain power by force and give a token role to other ethnic groups, to give the impression that [their] system is inclusive."
"But the Taliban's old guard... say that war is not the solution and that it is not possible for them to gain power through war; they will not be able to maintain it," Qanooni said.
"That generation believes that negotiation and peace are the only way we can build a government with other ethnic groups in the future," he added.
Power struggle
The Taliban's military commanders say that, since they are the ones suffering losses in battle, they should be making the decisions, said Mirza Muhammad Yarmand of Kabul, a military analyst.
Members of the Taliban's military ask, "What business does the political arm have making decisions on our behalf?", Yarmand noted.
"The [leadership] councils such as Quetta Shura, Peshawar Shura and Miranshah Shura ... do not share the opinions of the Taliban's military units," he said.
"Personal interests and a power struggle have led to rifts within Taliban ranks," he said.
A number of highly extremist Taliban military commanders reject negotiations and compromise, said Sarwar Mamond of Kabul, another political analyst.
They see violence and "jihad" as the only option against the US and Afghan security forces and they try to achieve their goals through war, he said, adding that they would consider their 19 years of war wasted if they negotiate with the United States and the Afghan government, Mamond said.
They also expect a ceasefire and peace talks to change militants' minds, which would lead to disarray in their ranks, he said.
Iranian, Russian influence
The Taliban's military wing cares nothing about the decisions of the political wing, instead taking instructions from Iranian and Russian intelligence, say other analysts.
"Taliban militants who have ties with neighbouring countries and [with] Russian and Iranian intelligence are fighting against our security forces, and have no desire for peace," said Inayatullah Hafiz, a political analyst in Kabul.
They see their interest in continuing the war, smuggling drugs and receiving financial support from neighbouring countries, he said.
"Some Taliban groups operate under orders of intelligence agencies from neighbouring countries and do not care about the decisions that their political wing makes," he said.

Welcome back to Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various Seattle neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out! Today's price: a very reasonable $800/month.
? Let's start at 1521 Bellevue Avenue in Capitol Hill where this 1-BR is available. The listing says "Built in the early 60's for the World's Fair, this building has charm," which is a really nice way of saying "it's old." But hey, you're close to Melrose Market and Bauhaus Books, so, location may trump amenities.
? Next up is 4703 Sand Point Way NE in Laurelhurst where it looks like you get a lot of kitchen for your money. We mean, the rest of the place looks nice enough but, look at that kitchen! For $800/month! You could host jousts in there!
? Finally we land in Belltown at the Charlesgate Apartments on 2230 4th Ave. This studio 425 square-foot studio is nestled inside a historic 1922 brownstone and comes with a private courtyard for residents and easy access to so many shops, restaurants and everything else the neighborhood has to offer. If it's about location, this might be the winner.

A first for Radford Dale, this "Zero Sulphite" Syrah represents the culmination of everything we have learnt over many years about natural viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking. By leaving every process in the capable hands of Mother Nature, we produce a wine which reflects every aspect of its origin, the variety and the vintage, in as clear a manner as is possible. Free of any additions or treatments, it is undressed and totally natural. The result is a wonderfully expressive, complex and elegant wine. The nose beams dark red fruits, complex spice and fynbos aromas. Layers of red and black fruit, over a strong graphite note and super supple tannins make for a fantastically engaging palate. The wine leaves one with a clean, fresh and wholesome impression. Could this be the naked truth…?

Chris Columbus, who directed the Christmas classics Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, has some choice words for where Disney can leave the change, you filthy animal. The Home Alone director is not happy about the Home Alone reboot in the works at Disney+, which is set to star Jojo Rabbit scene-stealer Archie Yates and be directed by Dan Mazer (Dirty Grandpa). And while he didn't go as far as to call the House of Mouse a filthy animal, the sentiment is the same.
While on the press circuit for his latest holiday movie, The Christmas Chronicles 2, the topic of Chris Columbus' 1990 Christmas classic Home Alone inevitably came up. But in his interview with Insider, Columbus had less than sweet things to say about the upcoming Disney+ reboot of Home Alone, which he revealed he wasn't even consulted on:
"Nobody got in touch with me about it, and it's a waste of time as far as I'm concerned. What's the point? I'm a firm believer that you don't remake films that have had the longevity of Home Alone. You're not going to create lightning in a bottle again. It's just not going to happen. So why do it? It's like doing a paint-by-numbers version of a Disney animated film — a live-action version of that. What's the point? It's been done. Do your own thing. Even if you fail miserably, at least you have come up with something original."
Columbus' criticism of Disney is not without evidence: Disney's abundant remakes of its animated classics have frequently been criticized for being pale imitations of the originals. And with Home Alone on frequent rotation on TV and cable every Christmas, it will be difficult for any remake to try to put its own spin on a beloved film that is still very fresh in people's memories. But Disney+ needs original content, and the Home Alone IP was fresh for the remaking.
The Home Alone reboot is currently in production, but on hold due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Details on the Home Alone reboot haven't been readily available, but the story is said to focus on a young boy named Max who goes to war with a husband and wife after he takes a porcelain doll from them. The Home Alone reboot is set to be directed by Dan Mazer (Dirty Grandpa, I Give It a Year) and will star Jojo Rabbit supporting actor Archie Yates in the lead role. He'll be joined by Saturday Night Live alums Kenan Thompson and Chris Parnell, Toy Story 4 voice star Ally Maki, Irish actress Aisling Bea, comedian Pete Holmes, Veep star Timothy Simons, Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper as the main character's parents, and SNL writer Mikey Day, who is also co-writing the Home Alone reboot with Streeter Seidel. And while Columbus is not on board, there are rumors that original Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin might make a cameo, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Food photography is very much an art form that requires a specific set of skills. It could be argued that food styling is the most important element when it comes to photographing food. For example, if a recipe can't be made to look appetizing, then what's the point of taking pictures?
There are many ways to style foods for photographs but there are also many reasons why people fail to make their food appear appetizing in photographs. The following tips and tricks can help food photographers make their food appear as appetizing as possible.
Use Fresh Ingredients
It goes without saying that fresh ingredients are often preferable to stale or otherwise unappetizing looking food. A prime example of unappetizing looking food is cupcakes that have been sitting at room temperature for hours. The texture of the icing can also quickly spoil.
If fresh ingredients aren't available, it may be worthwhile to use frozen vegetables or other frozen items in the food rather than using fresh ones. This will help preserve your food for longer without altering its taste and appearance. For example, you could try making a fresh vegetable soup or frozen vegetable muffins instead of using fresh vegetables.
Cleanliness Is King
The cleanliness of your kitchen is also important when it comes to styling food for pictures. If your kitchen is dirty, then it will be very difficult to style your food for photographs.
It's important that you only use clean, non-greasy items when styling food for pictures. You could try using a heavy duty kitchen paper towel or two to wipe the grease off of the surface which you're going to be styling with oil.
Highlighting Your Food is Important for Appetizing Effectiveness
The lighting that you use is very important for the way your food looks in photographs. A low light situation is ideal for photographing foods that are steamed or boiled. Highlight colors such as orange or yellow can also make the food look appetizing when styled properly.
A simple technique for highlighting your food is to use a white background. The light reflectivity of the ground will make the food stand out, thereby making it look appetizing.
Colorful Foods Are More Appetizing Than Those with Boring Colors
In order to create an appetizing picture of your dish, it should have a good balance of colors that match its description. Fresh ingredients often have a wide array of colors. For example, a salad may be colored with red, green, and yellow vegetables. If the salad is not properly styled to match its description, then it could look unappetizing.
Generally, foods that are colored with blue and red fruits and vegetables look very appetizing when styled properly. It's also a good idea to try to avoid any hint of color that could be misconstrued as "cheap".
Choose Food Stylists Who Have the Right Skills
It's a good idea to hire a professional food stylist if you're not experienced with styling foods for photographs. A food stylist generally has a very set way of working which is crucial for producing appetizing photographs.
Most of the stylists work with fresh perishable ingredients. They will have their own set of tricks for making the foods appear appetizing. For example, they may choose to drench the vegetables in water to make them look fresh or they could pat them dry to create a distressed effect. Food stylists also have an eye for color combination that can make foods look appetizing when photographed.
Food styling is a difficult process that requires a lot of patience and practice. This is why it's important to find a food stylist who has the skill to get your food looking appetizing if you're not doing it yourself.
A food stylist will be able to produce better results in a shorter time then you would be able to on your own. Hiring a professional food stylist could help make your photographs look appetizing and more appealing in less time than you can produce yourself.
Food Photography With iPhone or Android
If you're a food blogger, who is always on the go, then you can use your phone to take food photography. Most smartphones can take really good quality pictures even in low light conditions.
The following are some tips to help you take better food photographs with your phone:
Take Photographs With Strong Lighting
Strong lighting can easily make or break the appearance of your food when photographing it. Try taking the photographs outside in the mid-afternoon. You could also use an artificial lamp to light your food if you're inside.
It's a good idea to avoid using flash photography for pictures. Flash can cause harsh reflections on the surface of the food and can make it look unappetizing. Using a small amount of light is important for making your food look appetizing in low or bright light conditions.
Use a White Background
You could use a white or off-white background. Try to avoid using a dark colored background because the color can make your food look unappetizing. Try to add layers of different colors onto the background to add more depth and detail without making it look too busy.
Be Patient and Use Your Camera Settings Correctly
The best thing to do when taking food photographs is to be patient. Take your time while taking the pictures and don't rush through them. Make sure that you use your camera settings correctly. An incorrect setting can lead to your picture looking blurry.
Shoot the Food From Various Angles
Shooting the food from different angles can produce very different results. You could try a close-up shot, wide shot, and a mid-range shot. Changing the angle of your shots will make your photographs look fresh and help you avoid any repetitive patterns. Try to move around the subject while taking your shots as well.
Try to Avoid Shadows
Shadows are one of the most difficult things for photographing food because they can make your food look unappetizing. Be careful not to place your lighting sources directly above you. Instead, try placing them slightly above and at an angle on the back of your food. It's also worth noting that you should also avoid shooting with glare on your camera especially when using a flash.
Food photography is not an easy art to master. It's a subject that requires you to be patient and have attention to detail. If you're looking for a professional food stylist, then try using the tips listed on this page which will help you produce better looking photographs in less time.

MURCS Association; Cervical Decompression; Child
This case report describes an unusual presentation and anesthesia management of a rare genetic association. The MURCS association, a variant of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is a rare (1/4500-1/50,000) congenital syndrome, of unknown etiology, consisting of mullerian duct (MU) aplasia, renal (R) aplasia, and cervicothoracic somite (CS) dysplasia.
Case Description
A 3 years old female, with a history of MURCS association including vertebral anomalies, foramen magnum stenosis, upper cervical syrinx and central sleep apnea presented to an outside hospital following sinus congestion. She was initially found to have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis. The patient had breath holding spells associated with severe bradycardia, requiring tracheal intubation and hemodynamic resuscitation. Tracheal intubation was performed by the ear/nose/throat surgeon, as the patient had a critical airway due to cervical stenosis.
She was transferred to our institution for urgent decompression after an MRI of the brain and neck showed critical narrowing of the foramen magnum with severe mass effect on the medulla, Chiari I, as well as upper cervical syrinx and multiple cervical segmentation abnormalities with dysgenesis of the craniocervical junction (Figure 1). In the operating room, anesthesia was induced with propofol 3 mg/kg, fentanyl 1 mcg/kg and rocuronium 1 mg/kg after insuring the patency of the endotracheal tube, adequate intravenous access and an arterial line in place. The respiratory status was optimized with inhaled albuterol administration, endotracheal tube suctioning, and positive end expiratory pressure. Patient was placed in a prone position with the head supported by a cerebellar head rest. The initial phase of the surgery including tissue dissection and partial occipital craniotomy was well tolerated; however, repeated episodes of bradycardia and hemodynamic instability necessitated repetitive vasopressors including atropine 0.02mg/kg, epinephrine 5 mcg/kg followed by 10mcg/kg boluses and infusions of dopamine 10 mcg/kg/min and epinephrine starting at 0.1 mcg/kg/min and titrated to response; and correlated on occasion with minimal surgical manipulation.
Figure 1:
MRI of the brain and neck showing critical narrowing of the foramen magnum with severe mass effect on the medulla.
The surgeon was informed and ultimately, the procedure was stopped after partial foramen magnum decompression and partial C2 laminectomy for further severe hemodynamic instability and desaturations despite vasopressors administration. Patient was transported back to the pediatric intensive critical care unit, weaned gradually from vasopressors and after four days of aggressive additional broad-spectrum antibiotics and steroids, she tolerated a return to the operating room for complete decompression of the foramen magnum and recovered with no sequelae.
This case report describes a child with MURCS association who presented from an outside hospital for emergency craniocervical decompression secondary to critical stenosis of the foramen magnum. MURCS association usually does not affect life expectancy [1,2], however there are two reported findings on autopsy of an occipital encephalocele in two fetuses [3]. Foramen magnum stenosis is usually associated to achondroplasia. Literature review shows that decompression of the cervicomedullary junction in the setting of achondroplasia may be accomplished safely with significant clinical benefit and minimal morbidity [4], however, in one case hypotension and bradycardia had been reported in a child with achondroplasia who has a severe stenosis of the foramen magnum [5]. This patient with MURCS association may have been at high risk of severe hemodynamic instability secondary to the severity of stenosis of foramen magnum. Brainstem compression or retraction would alter the respiratory pattern. It also may be detected by its effects on cardiovascular function. Arrhythmias may occur simultaneously in as many as 14% of pediatric patients. This may be associated with a sudden alteration in vascular tone, resulting in sudden hypotension or hypertension and severe hemodynamic instability. The mechanism may result from the activation of the trigemino-cardiac reflex or the vago-glossopharyngeal reflex. Transcutaneous pacing should be considered during the surgery in these patients at risk of severe hemodynamic instability. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of a child in prone position may be challenging, especially if associated with skeletal deformities. Readiness for management of hemodynamic instability and anticipation of possible difficult airway is of crucial importance in dealing with decompression of severe foramen magnum stenosis. This case reports the possible coexistence and management of severe foramen magnum stenosis in patients with MURCS association. Communication between the surgical and anesthesia team is essential to discontinue the surgical manipulation, if needed.

Drone delivery company Zipline just announced that it has received its Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration, enabling the company to perform the longest range on-demand deliveries with commercial drones in the U.S. Zipline also recently unveiled its new detect-and-avoid system that uses acoustic-based technology onboard an autonomous aircraft.
Zipline began commercial operations more than five years ago and their autonomous electric drones have recorded over 325,000 commercial flights around the world. The drones, used for so-called "instant" delivery service, are powered by rechargeable electric batteries, and according to the company they are capable of carrying up to four pounds.
The company launched flights in Arkansas last year with Walmart, operating under the FAA's Part 107 rule.
As the team considered the logistics of entering a complex airspace like in the U.S. with an autonomous aircraft, they quickly determined that a solution for safe drone integration was necessary. One solution, detect-and-avoid (DAA) technology, "has been the holy grail for a long time," Okeoma Moronu, Head of Aviation Regulatory and Legal Affairs at Zipline, told Avionics International.
They first considered what was already available on the market for DAA solutions, Moronu said. "We found that all the other technology solutions were too expensive because they were over-engineered, too infrastructure-heavy, or not precise enough to meet the regulatory requirements we were seeing, based on conversations we were having with regulators," she continued. There were also multiple companies pursuing ground-based solutions, but this was not an ideal solution for Zipline's envisioned operations and plans to scale.
They prioritized an onboard solution that was both agile and responsive to the airspace. An acoustic-based sensing system was chosen because it offers 360-degree visibility and can operate in rainy or cloudy conditions. The system includes, Moronu explained, "an array of microphones situated on the wing of the aircraft that are able to differentiate different sound profiles. The aircraft is able to compute that information and make decisions about how to respond."

Keenan Wyrobek, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Zipline, commented that the company's acoustic DAA system is "the first solution that is actually practical to deploy at scale and light enough to fit on aircraft. This DAA technology enables us to provide those long-range flights for instant delivery."
One challenge for drone developers is that the regulatory framework was not designed for autonomous vehicles in their current iteration, said Moronu. "There is a level of autonomy in existing aircraft, but this level of autonomy is going to be new to our regulators," she remarked. Overcoming this challenge will involve demonstrating—through research and testing—the safety of autonomous aircraft to both regulators and the public.
The DAA system is just one part of Zipline's service, and the team has avoided focusing too much on any specific technology involved, she said. "It's not just solving one problem. You have to solve all the problems for your customers and community. It's about the drone, the software, the autonomy; it's about how we manage our fleet, operations, and inventory, and it's about how we engage with customers."
The Part 135 air carrier certification issued to Zipline is the first of its kind issued under the BEYOND program of the FAA. This initiative is aimed at safe integration of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations in the U.S. Zipline is set to begin flying routes as long as 26 miles, including flying in controlled airspace and for BVLOS operations. Zipline's hub in North Carolina will host the first flights under the new Part 135 certificate, operating as a medical drone delivery service.
The company also plans to start deliveries in the state of Utah later this year, in partnership with Intermountain Healthcare.
Zipline's co-founder and CEO, Keller Rinaudo, remarked on the achievement, saying, "With our part 135 certification, and in close collaboration with our partners and the FAA, we are one step closer to making safe, clean and quiet instant delivery a reality for communities across the U.S."
Another advanced air mobility company that recently received a Part 135 certification from the FAA is electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer Joby Aviation. Following this certification, Joby can start on-demand commercial operations with air taxis.

4 Habits of Emotionally Intelligent People
#1: Talk about your emotions plainly
Most people aren't very good at managing difficult emotions because they don't know much about their emotions and how they work…
- They procrastinate constantly because they don't realize they're really avoiding their own anxiety, not their work.
- They argue incessantly with their spouse because they don't realize being critical is their defense mechanism against insecurity and fear of loneliness.
- They feel constantly stressed and anxious because they rely on cheap coping strategies that temporarily bring relief but actually increase their anxiety in the long-run.
If you want to feel better, you need to understand how your feelings actually work.
Unfortunately, most people assume emotional intelligence is either something you're born with or something you discover suddenly after reading a great book or listening to some wise advice.
But in reality, it's neither…
Emotional intelligence comes from good habits — what you commit to doing on a regular basis.
What follows are four habits of emotionally intelligent people. Build them into your own life, and watch your emotional intelligence rise.
1. Talk plainly about your emotions
When was the last time you heard an adult say: I'm really angry right now or, I feel sad?
Even when I worked as a therapist, I was surprised how infrequently people used plain emotion words to describe how they felt — and they were in therapy!
On the other hand, if you spend any time at all around little kids, you'll hear plenty of emotion words… I'm mad because Sophie hit me! or, I'm sad. We didn't get recess today because it was raining.
Most adults intellectualizing their emotions — they use conceptual or metaphorical language to describe how they feel.
For example:
- Instead of I'm mad we say, I'm just stressed.
- Instead of I feel sad we say, I just feel kind of down.

The definition of Biodiversity for the purpose of the Nauru Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan is: The variety of life forms, the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, the genes they contain, and the ecosystems they form. It is usually considered at three levels; genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. It thus includes all the species that make up the natural world of Nauru, those which naturally occur on the island, and those brought here by people. Nauru's isolation as a single island from other land masses means that many of the species found here are endemic and their conservation is of particular importance. For the past century however, Nauru has been heavily mined for phosphate and has led to the serious breakdown of its physical environment as well as of the socio-economic wellbeing of its people. This strategy, in complementing the activities of the Nauru Rehabilitation Program, aims to conserve and sustainably use these endemic species and equally to secure the future of other species, native or introduced, that are vital to agriculture, forestry and fisheries. The conservation of biodiversity is vital to the ongoing social, economic and cultural development of the nation.

In "The Age of Intelligent Machines", inventor and computer scientist Raymond Kurzweil probes the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence, from its earliest philosophical and mathematical roots to tantalizing glimpses of 21st-century machines with superior intelligence and prodigious speed and memory. This book provides the background needed for an understanding of the enormous scientific potential represented by intelligent machines as well as their equally profound philosophic, economic, and social implications. Running alongside Kurzweil's historical and scientific narrative are 23 articles examining contemporary issues in artificial intelligence. This book won the Association of American Publishers Annual Award for Excellence in Professional and Scholarly Publishing. It contains articles by: Charles Ames; Margaret A. Boden; Harold Cohen; Caniel C. Dennett; Edward A. Feigenbaum; K. Fuchi; George Gilder; Douglas R. Hofstadter; Michael Lebowitz; Margaret Litven; Blaine Mathieu; Marvin Minsky; Allen Newell; Brian W. Oakley; Seymour Papert; Jeff Pepper; Roger Schank and Christopher Owens; Sherry Turkle; Mitchell Waldrop.
The Age of Intelligent Machines is a non-fiction book about artificial intelligence by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. This was his first book and the Association of American Publishers named it the Most Outstanding Computer Science Book of 1990. It was reviewed in The New York Times and The Christian Science Monitor. The format is a combination of monograph and anthology with contributed essays by artificial intelligence experts such as Daniel Dennett, Douglas Hofstadter, and Marvin Minsky.
Kurzweil surveys the philosophical, mathematical and technological roots of artificial intelligence, starting with the assumption that a sufficiently advanced computer program could exhibit human-level intelligence. Kurzweil argues the creation of humans through evolution suggests that humans should be able to build something more intelligent than themselves. He believes pattern recognition, as demonstrated by vision, and knowledge representation, as seen in language, are two key components of intelligence. Kurzweil details how quickly computers are advancing in each domain.
Driven by the exponential improvements in computer power, Kurzweil believes artificial intelligence will be possible and then commonplace. He explains how it will impact all areas of people's lives, including work, education, medicine, and warfare. As computers acquire human level faculties Kurzweil says people will be challenged to figure out what it really means to be human.

At the top of the funnel, there are new crypto project ideas and lots of speculative financial investments (ICO's). Next, a smaller amount of businesses begin developing blockchain/cryptocurrency to better serve their customers. Finally, products are launched and consumers have access to them. Currently, most crypto projects are somewhere between the top and middle of the funnel. Which means that the true connection of products to the mainstream consumer have not even made it to market yet. 7 Working Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Products: However, there are a few products and services available to the average consumer that I would like to introduce to you.
1) Steemit / Dtube
These are completely decentralized blogging and video sharing sites. They are separate platforms, but both created by the same creator. How it works: Content creators write blog articles, or upload videos, which are then voted upon by the community. The more an article is upvoted, the higher the content rises in the search rankings. Basically, this allows every content creator an equal opportunity to rise to the top without editor bias or political influence. In addition, there are financial benefits for both the content creator and the curators who take time to evaluate the article. Content creators get paid "Steem" for each upvote they receive, which allows them to be compensated for providing great content. Curators also get paid a form of "Steem" for taking the time to review content. Because content creators have an opportunity to receive payment for their work, there is no need for advertising. Therefore the content viewer is never bombarded with unwanted advertisements. The biggest downside of these platforms is they do not have all the bells and whistles that more established content creator networks have. Hopefully this will improve with time. Why would you want to use Steemit instead of other popular blog networks? Most social networking sites are centralized, which means articles are censored and can be deleted, or not promoted fairly. Being able to publish information with a fair opportunity for success allows the content creator a platform to share honest and transformative ideas. Feel free to view my Steemit Page by clicking Here.
Craypay and Life Leadership have partnered on this loyalty reward program, and since 2015 it has proven itself with plenty of successful transactions in the marketplace. What it is: C4 is a loyalty reward program which is secured using a blockchain like token. It features 3-10% savings on purchases from 100's of nationally recognized brands. The app is easy to use, and has built in security offered by a secure blockchain like token. It is free to download and free to use.

Step 4: Cashier scans the unique bar code as if it is a gift card. Congrats! You just saved money! For more details read: "Life Leadership C4 Project: A Real World Crypto Use"
3) Coinpayment:
Coinpayment is a payment processor which makes it possible for businesses to accept over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. They provide tools for invoices, shopping carts, point of sale (POS), and have a mobile app. I have researched several different cryptocurrency payment processing sites and have found this one to be the best for business owners. How it works: Step 1: Sign up for an account and enter all applicable information. Step 2: Choose which services to use, and which coins to accept. Step 3: Combine your chosen services with your existing business infrastructure. Read "How to Accept Cryptocurrencies: What, Why, And How"
4) Brave Browser (BAT):
Brave is a web browser similar to Chrome or Firefox with a few important differences. Brave is built on the Ethereum platform which means that it is secured through the blockchain. The most important feature that separates Brave from the other browsers is that it automatically blocks ads. It is easily downloaded onto your desktop or mobile device, and as of mid 2018 there were over 3.1 million users. How to use it? Step 1: Download onto desired device. Step 2: Click on the Brave Icon Step 3: Search like you normally would.
5) Overstock.com
Overstock.com is the first major internet retailer who accepts cryptocurrency as payment. They are reputable and have been in business since 1997. They accept Bitcoin and all major altcoins (40+). Many people who are new to cryptocurrency aren't sure where they can spend them. Overstock.com is among the early adopters into the cryptocurrency space and they offer a great retail service. Use Cryptocurrency to buy: -Electronics -Jewelry -Home and Garden Supplies -Clothing -Health and Beauty Supplies -Baby Gear - And a ton of other catagories.
6) Bitpay Credit Card:
Bitpay offers a credit card that can be funded with cryptocurrency. This is a good option for someone who wants to use their Bitcoin without having to worry about remembering and fumbling with Ewallets. Many people are used to making purchases with credit cards, and this is a good way to have the best of both worlds. How does it work? It works similar to a normal prepaid credit card issued through Visa except that it is funded with Bitcoin. There is a fee to open the card, but once the card is loaded with funds it can be used anywhere Visa is accepted.
7) Bitcoin:
Bitcoin itself is an example of a working blockchain. It has been working for over 10 years now and is used as an investment asset, medium of exchange, and currency. The decentralized nature of this digital currency ushered in a new way of financial exchange and asset ownership. It does have limitations, but it has consistently proven itself as a secure and reliable asset as far as working projects go. How to purchase it? Step 1: Set up a Coinbase account with relevant information. Step 2: Click on Bitcoin. Step 3: Enter how much you would like to buy and confirm purchase.
At this early stage of development it is hard to find working blockchain and cryptocurrency products that actually meet the end users need. There is still a lot of maturing and advancements that need to happen in the industry but there are hundreds of projects being developed which will hit the market in the near future. It is exciting to be on the forefront of a massive economic shift. The products and services listed in this article are great for all of you early adopters and crypto enthusiast. Hope this list helps!

Public transportation systems in Missouri and throughout the country have been put on a heightened state of alert in the wake of the London bus and train bombings. Steve Billings with the State Transportation Department's Public Transit Division says while riders won't see much difference, there'll be increased work for the employees of the systems. And, he says public transit systems will have to compete with other services to get any additional funds to cover the additional work. And, Billings says public transportation systems in Missouri should not expect more money to come from the state to cover any additional security expenses.

I would like to measure current making use of a shunt. Since the solution needs to be scalable I wanted to have a circuit that would be easily adjustable to various current ranges, and therefor opted to make use of a differential amplifier. It's also necesarry to measure on the high side, since there are a lot of components connected to common groud, which I dont want to disturb.
For my first test I wanted to measure currents up to 30Amps, neatly scaled to my 8bit 0-3v ADC(Not the best resolution, but plenty for my application) I did some online searching, and came across this simple circuit a lot. I calculated the resistor values to get a gain of 40, so the 75mV voltage drop at 30 amps through the shunt would get me 3V at the output of the op-amp.
However when I want to measure current on the high side of my circuit, I dont get the values I expect. When I put it at the low side it does work however. I'm in the dark on what's wrong with this circuit.

Went to Rite Aid yesterday to do some shopping.
It was sad that some of the items I wanted to buy were already gone. I kinda freak out when I am unable to follow my shopping plan. Cause I feel like I have to re-plan everything in my mind again to make sure I pay the least out-of-pocket as possible.
Anyway, I got these items for an out-of-pocket expense of $9.24 and I still have a $1.50 +UP that I can use next time I visit.
Total value: $37.20
Out-of-pocket: $9.24
Savings: $27.96 (75%)

Fresh baked breads, cookies, brownies, sandwiches and more abound at La Quinta's Aspen Mills.
There's nothing that quite says the holidays like baking, and Aspen Mills has a corner on it in the Coachella Valley. They not only have their location in La Quinta, (conveniently situated by Trader Joes) but also have the long standing spot in Palm Springs which has been there for over 20 years, as well as two pop ups in Rancho Mirage.
I recall going to their Palm Springs location long ago, and having one of their sandwiches. It was amazing, and I thought that Aspen Mills was actually a well-tuned franchise. After recently speaking with Jimmy Stewart, owner Marty Webster's son-in-law, he explained to me that I was right.
The original owner did have it planned out as a franchise. But after some trial and error with subsequent locations, the Palm Springs location remained as the strong hold, and was purchased later by Webster.
Webster's care of Aspen Mills has grown from its spot in Palm Springs to a pop up in the Rancho Mirage Library, Clarks Nutrition also in Rancho Mirage and their newest location in La Quinta, which will be celebrating their one year anniversary in January. "We are really excited to be here in La Quinta, we love it out here," says Stewart.
The main element that makes Aspen Mills so successful is their dedication to fresh and wholesome ingredients, and may I say, down to earth, ultra-friendly service.
Their bread is baked daily, with 30 different varieties, including specialties breads such as their Banana Nut which is very popular. Other breads include, Sour Dough, Squaw, Cinnamon Swirl, Pumpkin Raisin, Spinach Onion Parmesan, New York Rye, Jalapeno Cheddar, and many more. Bread lovers can check out their weekly Specialty Breads on their website. Their Dinner Rolls are also very popular for the holiday season, which customers can special order as well as purchasing them off the shelf.
Stewart explained to me that it is their bread that sets their sandwiches apart from anywhere else, "We use basic simple ingredients without chemicals or preservative (no eggs, dairy, oils, processed sugar) and all of our sweet breads are sweetened with 100% Amber Honey."
The sandwiches at Aspen Mills can give any deli in town a run for their slicer. Creations such as the Aspen (oven roasted turkey breast, cucumbers, spun lettuce, mayo, horseradish, and guacamole on Cranberry Spice bread), Tuscany (Prosciutto, Capacolla, Honey-glazed Ham, provolone, fresh basil, fresh cilantro, spun lettuce, and Italian dressing), or the "Cousin Vinney" (Roast Beef, roasted sweet bell peppers, fresh basil, tomatoes, red onions, spun lettuce, and Balsamic olive oil vinaigrette on an Italian roll), among other selections.
For the holidays, Aspen Mills can produce fantastic sandwich party platters, bake up specialty pies, and create cozy gift basket assortments with muffins (a dozen different types), cookies and sweetbreads.
With four locations in the Coachella Valley, Aspen Mills can exact all of your bakery needs, with the freshest of ingredients and an abundant amount of baked breads, cookies, brownies, sandwich's and more. Happy Holidays!
Aspen Mills La Quinta is located in 46-520 Washington Street, Unit 1, 760-564-5266

Elim Health is passionate about helping people enjoy the benefits of great health through quality supplements that make use of nature's most effective nutritional sources.
Human history is filled with stories of health-related products and experiences. These events continue to influence entire civilizations thousands of years later. The company name and logo comes from such a story, this one recorded the Bible.
After Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, the people traveled into the inhospitable Desert of Shur. For three days they wandered through the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, although it contained a well they could not drink the water because it was bitter. According to the biblical account, God listened to a plea from Moses and changed the water from bitter to sweet, giving them a temporary respite from thirst.
Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of pure, fresh water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water. For Christians, Elim is a blessed place nourished by God's grace. In our logo, the water drop represents the twelve springs and the leaves represent the palm trees.
The focus of Elim Health and Beauty Products is supplying people whose body is thirsty for nutrition, those who feel a need to balance their health as a whole.
We choose the pomegranate as our foundational product because of its legendary, complete health benefits to the whole body for men and women alike.
Strong antioxidants in pomegranate have captivated scientists in the fields of cancer, nutrition and other health research fields. Studies have consistently linked the pomegranate to effectiveness in fighting cancer, reducing cholesterol and heart disease, limiting and repairing skin damage from UVB exposure, and even improving the look of skin.
