Cable gland adaptors allow cable-entry devices to be connected to equipment. Cable glands secure a cable to a piece of equipment. Electric apparatus can be fitted with access points with various threads, so an adaptor is needed to make the equipment and the cable gland compatible. Cable gland adaptors are simple, screw-in devices made from silicon, rubber, nickel, brass or other metals.
Cable gland adaptors are used in all types electrical environments and machinery, including instrumentation, data and telecommunication cables.
Cable gland adaptors connect with the glands to assist them in creating a seal that can resist dripping water or high water pressure. They can also be used to prevent entry of flammable gas into equipment enclosures in hazardous areas.
Cable gland adaptors can either function as reducers or enlargers to connect cable glands to machinery.

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(MWC, Hall 1, Stand 1C80 / co-located with Egis Technology)— AIStorm, an innovator of high-performance AI-in-sensor processors, has introduced a family of semi-custom solutions for mobile handsets, IoT, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
AIStorm CEO David Schie sees a huge opportunity to outperform approaches that need to digitize sensor data, a step that introduces latency and the potential to miss important information.
"Many industry players are focused on deep submicron GPU/NPU-based solutions to accelerate AI at the edge. We believe that such solutions are not compatible with the real-time processing, power, and low-cost requirements of these applications," said Schie. "Today, we are reshaping the landscape by enabling complete solutions that include a sensor, an analog front end, and AI processing at low cost, and suitable for even the smallest form factors — without the need to digitize input data."
AIStorm initially targets two huge markets, mobile/wearable and ADAS:
- AIStorm IoT Vision / IoT Waveform Solutions: Designed for imaging and HID/biometric applications in mobile phones, cameras, wearables & IoT applications, AIStorm offers AI-in-sensor solutions for tasks such as fingerprint sensing, gesture control, heart monitoring and heart-based identification, occupancy sensing, facial recognition, voice input, earbud, drone imaging, image stabilization, and security and intersection cameras. Custom optics or high CMRR PGA solutions are offered integrated with semi-custom variants of AIStorm's high-performance analog AI engines.
- AIStorm ADAS Solutions: Designed for advanced driver-assistance systems, AIStorm introduces CIS, SPAD / SiPM and SiGe sensors coupled to its analog AI engines, which eliminate the need for digitization and allow continuous processing of incoming data. These systems outperform ADC solutions, which can easily miss or distort incoming information and struggle to provide selective real-time data harvesting. Solutions at NIR, 1550nm and CIS are offered, as well as mirror, biasing, high-voltage driver, image-stabilization, and image-processing solutions. Other solutions include gesture control, eye-blink monitoring, voice, and wavelet-based failure detection.
Using sensor data directly—without digitization—enables real-time processing
AI systems require information be available in digital form before they can process data, however sensor data is analog. Processing this digital information requires advanced and costly GPU/NPUs that are not suitable for mobile devices because they require continuous digitization of input data, which consumes significant power and introduces unavoidable digitization delay (latency). AIStorm negates these disadvantages by processing sensor data directly in its native analog form—in real time—by using charge-domain processing instead of GPU/digital processing.
"As digital AI processing seems to reach its limits, the next generation of deep-learning systems will require analog AI cores. With our recent investment in AIStorm, we affirm our belief that the time is right for embedded analog AI-in-sensor technology, and that AIStorm technology is the right solution," said Dr. Avi Strum, SVP/GM of the sensors business unit of TowerJazz. "The combination of TowerJazz's rich imaging and non-imaging sensors technologies with AIStorm's artificial intelligence core will provide unique solutions to the industrial, commercial, and automotive markets."
About AIStorm
AIStorm is the pioneer and leader in AI-in-sensor processing, which eliminates the latency, power and cost associated with digital GPU/NPU-based implementations at the edge. AIStorm is headquartered in Silicon Valley and led by a team that includes industry veterans responsible for development of more than a thousand products, as well as for P&L and significant revenue growth at leading semiconductor companies.

Women work harder than men, according to a new study by the Ponemon Institute, an independent research consultancy:
Researchers observed 274 subjects working at companies scattered around the United States in financial services, consumer products, education, health care and energy. Approximately 53 percent of subjects were female and 47 percent were male.
During a ten-minute experimental trial, female subjects worked 2.5 minutes compared to 2.1 minutes for male subjects without a privacy filter installed and 4.9 minutes versus 4.3 minutes for male subjects with a privacy filter installed.
When given the opportunity to walk away during an experimental waiting period 38 percent of female workers walked away compared to 52 percent of male workers.
Researchers also noticed that men work less when women are around. Thanks, guys! No problem, we'll take care of that extra work for you while you continue making a dollar for every 70 cents we earn.
Alternate takeaway: privacy filters really work.

EEOICPA CIRCULAR NO. 14-07 April 26, 2014
SUBJECT: Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) Class from March 1, 1943 through July 31, 1948.
The purpose of this Circular is to notify all Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) staff of the SEC class designation for the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company located in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Pursuant to the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) and 42 C.F.R Part 83, a petition was filed on behalf of workers at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to be added to the SEC.
The decision to initiate this petition occurred after the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) determined that it could not reconstruct a dose under 42 C.F.R. § 83.13. NIOSH submitted its findings to the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health ("the Board") on January 28, 2014. On February 25, 2014, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) received the Board's recommendation to add to the SEC a class of employees who worked at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
On March 27, 2014, the Secretary of HHS designated the following class for addition to the SEC in a report to Congress:
All Atomic Weapons Employees who worked for Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company at the covered facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, from March 1, 1943 through July 31, 1948, for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment, or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of employees included in the Special Exposure Cohort.
A copy of the Secretary's letter to Congress recommending the designation is included as Attachment 1. Although Congress had the authority to reject the recommendation within a 30-day time frame, Congress took no action. Therefore, the SEC designation for this class became effective as of April 26, 2014, which was 30 days after the Secretary of HHS designated the class for addition to the SEC in the report to Congress.
This is the second SEC class for workers at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company. The initial class was the subject of EEOICPA Circular No. 13-07. To qualify under this SEC class, the employee must be an Atomic Weapons Employee who has worked at least 250 workdays at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana from March 1, 1943 through July 31, 1948. If the employee does not have 250 workdays at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company during the period of the class, the case file must be reviewed to determine if additional days in the SEC can be found by combining days from employment meeting the criteria for other SEC classes and aggregating them together to meet the 250-workday requirement.
While a new SEC class has been added for Atomic Weapons Employees at the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company, NISOH intends to use any available internal and external monitoring data that may become available for an individual claim (and that can be interpreted using existing NIOSH dose reconstruction processes or procedures). This means that for claims that do not satisfy the SEC membership criteria, a partial dose reconstruction is to be performed by NIOSH.
A copy of the NIOSH letter to affected employees at the facility is included as Attachment 2.
This Circular should be used in conjunction with EEOICPA Bulletin No. 11-07, Special Exposure Cohort Claim Processing. A screening worksheet is included as Attachment 3.
As outlined in EEOICPA Bulletin No. 11-07, the district offices and Final Adjudication Branch (FAB) office are to use the comprehensive list provided as the basis for an initial screening of cases associated with all SEC classes. All cases on the comprehensive list, that are located at a district office or FAB office, are reviewed for possible inclusion in the SEC class. The jurisdictional office listed on the comprehensive report as the location of where the case resides is responsible for ensuring that screening occurs for that case. For screening only, the results reflected on the initial screening worksheet are recorded in ECS using the Screening (SEC/PER/Other) Navigation Panel. From the Screening (SEC/PER/Other) Navigation Panel on the case, select the 'Create' button. Based on the result of the review and in accordance with the 'SEC Class Screening Worksheet', select the appropriate result of "Likely" if the case is likely an SEC, "Unlikely" if it is unlikely that the case will be an SEC or "Development Needed" if development is needed. The date of the signed worksheet is recorded in the "Date" field. The reason associated with the SEC is selected in the "Reason" field. For this SEC, the reason is "Rvwd per Circular 14-07, Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company (3/1/43 – 7/31/48)." If the CE determines that the case is going to be awarded based on a SEC, he or she enters a positive SEC causation path into ECS. This process is the equivalent of the SER/SEF codes discussed in Bulletin No. 11-07.

Growing up in Rocky Mount, Va., Myxolydia Tyler loved watching local theater company Jack Tale Players. "I was in awe of how they told stories, and then I saw 'A Raisin in the Sun' on a high school theater trip, and that began my love affair with theater."
Tyler, 32, who now lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., has steadily appeared on the stage since then. She's currently starring in Center Stage's production of the Broadway hit "The Mountaintop" (running since Jan. 9, the show's opening night is tonight and runs through Feb. 24). It's a powerful, fictional document of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s last day of life at the Lorraine Hotel. Tyler plays a hotel maid who meets King and challenges his perspectives.
She first saw "The Mountaintop" during Broadway previews last fall. "I had the same experience I did when I saw 'A Raisin in the Sun,'" she said. "Time stopped and the message of passing on the baton in good times and difficult times in our history struck me in a powerful way."
In between performances, Tyler took time to chat with us about her battle with red meat, the role she's dying to play and more.
Worst pet peeve? When people mispronounce words to sound proper. i.e. saying the "l" in salmon, the word irregardless.
What song are you hating/loving right now? I listen to NPR but what's on repeat on my iPod right now is Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black."
Last concert/gig you went to? Last major concert was the Prince Musicology tour.
Your first acting role? A nun in "The Sound of Music."
Your worst habit? Picking my teeth.
Trend that has exceeded its natural lifespan? "American Idol."
Last movie you liked/disliked? Liked: "Beasts of the Southern Wild." Disliked: "The Master"
TV shows you can't get enough of? "Game of Thrones"
Food you hate? It's more of a food that hates me — red meat.
Role you're dying to play? Viola in "Twelfth Night."
Last great meal you had? Mrs. Bernice Gordon's seafood jambalaya.
Favorite and most loathed fashion statements? I loathe glasses with no lenses. I love long loose fitted tops with skinny jeans.
Your favorite actor working today? Sophie Okonedo.
Best advice you ever got? When you have done everything you can do to stand ... stand
Favorite thing about Baltimore? The Ravens. Kakaw!

Video Game Violence A Concern For 89 Percent of Parents
This week's spotlight on violent video games does not start and stop with the actions and words of Vice President Joe Biden. A nationwide survey commissioned by Common Sense Media and the Center for American Progress found that an estimated 89% of parents believe violence in video games is a problem.
Earlier this month 1,050 parents were interviewed for the survey, and they were shown an ad for the video game Hitman: Absolution. Eighty-four percent of the participants said the ad was not suitable to air on television while kids are watching. "Our culture of violence seems to have made it the new normal that parents who take their kids to a movie theater or gather to watch a football game are at risk of exposing them to inappropriate content that is marketing video games or films rated for more mature audience," said Common Sense Media founder and CEO James Steyer in a statement.
All of the parents have a child under 18 who is currently living at home. To qualify for the survey, the participants needed to view video on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Common Sense Media's determination to spotlight this issue continues with their a petition submission to Change.org requesting broadcasting companies to stop airing violent video game and movie ads during NBA, NFL, and NCAA games.

Welcome to Thatz Not Okay, a regular column in which I school inquiring readers on what is and is not okay. Please send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Thatz Not Okay."
What's the policy on putting off Facebook friending? I think it makes sense to explain to someone you've just started seeing that you don't want to be Facebook friends until you've been dating a few months. It seems less awkward than having them go nuts if something happens (i.e. I'm a jerk or they are a nutjob.) Is that okay?
Thatz not okay.
I have to wonder what kinds of Big Fucking Secrets you are hiding in your inner Facebook sanctum that you don't feel comfortable revealing your page to a person until you're both deeply invested in a relationship.
If you go out on one bad date with this person, after which you plan never to see them again—fine. Don't friend them. But if you like them enough to continue meeting up with them, why wouldn't you allow them to see your Facebook page?
"Listen, I'm perfectly happy to hang out and eat dinner with you, but I'm just not comfortable with you seeing a list of my favorite bands and TV shows this soon into our courtship."
Is your profile picture an image of your bank account number? Have you "like"d several pro-Eugenics pages? Are all your video uploads snuff films you shot on your phone?
If so, stop doing all of that—change every single thing about yourself, for that is the only way you will ever find love—and add your new special companion. (If you would prefer to keep your horrible life a secret, place your friend on limited profile. Make sure you leave your wall and a few photo albums visible so they don't realize what you've done.)
While I understand the millennial compulsion to avoid "awkward" situations at all times ("There is literally nothing worse than a brief awkward moment between relative strangers"; "I would literally rather slit my wrists than say 'Goodbye' to someone and then find out we're both walking in the same direction"; etc.), they are a necessary part of life. They give us fodder for stories. They help us develop neuroses. They're what make us human, as awkward moments between animals usually result in death. (Right?)
If you refuse to friend someone on the grounds that you might turn out to be a jerk or they might turn out to be a nutjob, guess who looks like both a jerk and a nutjob right off the bat?
I'm also wondering how exactly you expect these former flames to "go nuts" on Facebook if you stop seeing them. Will they spam your wall with comments about their life is much better now that you're no longer dating? Will they comment "O RLY?!" every time you update your relationship status? Will they continue inviting you to Farmville day after day even though you've told them you prefer the city life?
They'll probably never interact with you on Facebook again. Which brings me to my final point: People you've briefly dated are the best Facebook friends to have.
Who better to have as a Facebook friend than someone you briefly dated? You don't really need to keep tabs on your best friends; that will happen naturally. And it probably doesn't matter where that girl who shared notes with you in a freshman year history seminar is living now.
The people you'll feel most compelled to check up on are those loves that Could Have Been.
What's she looking like these days? Oh wow, he's gay now. I am way cooler and cuter than that new trick—a toast to me!
A friend of mine recently told me a story about how, a couple years after he and a young lady stopped seeing one another (she said she was "too busy training for a triathlon"—haha burn), a photo of her flashing an accidental crotch shot popped up on his newsfeed. I thought the anecdote was going to end with him sending her a discreet heads up that she might want to untag the photo—proof that former flames are valuable allies in the fight of you vs. the world.
Instead, the story ended like this:
"I'll admit, I laughed. You're 'too busy'...having your crotch on the Internet."
Maybe not the sweet scenario I was anticipating (he pointed out that writing her apropos of nothing to tell her everyone could see her goodies might have come off as "the creepiest message"), but certainly rewarding in a different, more vindictive way.
All of which to is to say: Stop being crazy. If the relationship doesn't work out, you can always just unfriend someone.
I, like most urbanites, am proud of my diverse group of friends and acquaintances who come from all walks of life. I even pity those who don't get to relish diversity like I do. Some of my friends are international, but they have lived in the states for many years and speak English fluently. Even though some of us know different languages, we all use English to involve everyone in the conversation. Recently, my group of friends has invited two Greek -American students to outings and the like. They are indeed fun to be around, but they always talk in their native language to each other, even though they speak unaccented English. My friends and I think it's a bit rude, especially when they make side comments to themselves when we're in a group. We're debating confronting them about this. Is that okay?
Thatz not okay.
It sucks that, after all the effort you've taken to curate a beautiful United Colors of Benetton ad of friendship (always taking care to distinguish between "football" and "American football," holding dinners exclusively at the International House of Pancakes so that no one feels left out during mealtimes, etc.), a couple Greeks—drunk on nectar, gullets stuffed with ambrosia—can stomp into town shouting spells in that demon tongue, and throw off the kumbaya vibe.
How will your social group cope with this intrusion? Will it succumb to infighting, ultimately stratifying into many distinct layers, like phyllo dough? Or will it remain a delicious blend of exotic, harmonious elements, like phyllo dough?
Yes, it's rude to speak in a foreign language in front of other people (though not as rude as bringing down the entire Euro zone—ya burnt, Greece!). The problem, of course, is that the people who are excluded will automatically think you are talking about them, because everyone thinks they are more interesting than they are. (This is the kind of bitchy comment that would be perfect to make in a foreign language.)
You mention that you find it particularly rude when your friends make side comments to one another when you're in a group. If the group consists of three people and two of them are laughing to themselves in another language, yes, that's unspeakably rude. If it's a group of, say, 10, it's no ruder than any pair of people breaking off into a natural side conversation. There's a sliding scale of rudeness here.
For the record, while their English may sound perfectly good to you, there's a good chance your new friends will always be a little self-conscious about their abilities. Don't deprive them the comfort of occasionally slipping into their native language.
If you have to know what they're saying at all times (or because they're doing the super rude thing of switching to Greek in very small groups), it's perfectly fine to smile blankly and straight up asking them "What?" They'll probably respond "I was saying..." and voilà (French for "there is"): crisis averted. Eventually, they may even get into the habit of translating for you before you butt in to ask.
If, when you ask what they're talking about, they respond "SOME THINGS ARE SECRETS BETWEEN GREEKS," that is odd and you should consider slowly easing them out of the friend group.

The EU's top foreign policy official said on Tuesday that high-level nuclear talks in Russia between Iran and six world powers have been suspended, The Associated Press reported.
The report added that experts from both sides will meet next month to see if there is enough common ground for new negotiations.
The talks were hosted by the EU's top foreign policy official, Catherine Ashton, who said she will be in touch with top Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili after the July 4 experts' meeting in Istanbul to decide on when or whether to resume the talks.
Ashton spoke Tuesday after two days of talks made little progress in defusing international fears that Iran might turn its nuclear program to making weapons.
On Monday, during the first day of the talks, a member of the Iranian delegation gave a downbeat assessment well into the second session, saying, "So far the atmosphere is not positive. Setting up the framework (for negotiation) is the main problem."
AP quoted diplomats as having said the negotiations remained deadlocked going into Tuesday, despite pleas from the presidents of the U.S. and Russia for Iran to agree to curb nuclear activities.
A top Russian official reportedly met twice with Iran's chief envoy on the sidelines of the talks Tuesday, as the host nation tried to keep negotiations on track. Sergei Ryabkov, Russia's deputy foreign minister, conferred with top Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili, one of the diplomats told AP.
Iran said on Tuesday the onus was on its six negotiating partners — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — to make the first move and agree to Tehran's demands. A member of the Iranian delegation told AP that if the six powers accept Iran's conditions "there will be a big progress in a short period of time."
"But if they pursue the path they've been following, any progress in the talks will be stalled," he was quoted as having said.
The talks in Moscow followed a bruising session in Baghdad in May that failed to make any noticeable progress beyond agreeing a date for more talks.
In a hint of compromise, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday that Iran is ready to suspend its controversial enrichment of uranium to 20 percent if Europe guarantees delivery of nuclear fuel for its reactors.

PETTIT (Petit), NATHANIEL, office holder and politician; b. 12 June 1724 in Sussex County, N.J., son of Nathaniel Pettit and Elizabeth Heath; m. 26 Feb. 1747 Margaret McFarland, and they had one son and six daughters; d. 9 March 1803 in Ancaster, Upper Canada.
Nathaniel Pettit's forebears emigrated in 1630 from Essex, England, to the area around Boston, Mass. The family eventually dispersed, some members settling in New Jersey where in Sussex County Nathaniel achieved financial security and legal prominence prior to the American revolution. He owned two valuable mills and in 1766 was appointed judge in the county Court of Common Pleas. In 1768 his personal standing in the community rose further with his election as one of the two members returned for the county to the provincial legislature. But his success, at a time when officials appointed by Britain came to be feared and distrusted, ultimately worked against him.
Initially Pettit was sympathetic to colonial grievances; in 1774 he was appointed at a county meeting to a ten-man committee to oppose taxation without representation and to support the suspension of imports from Britain. But on 12 Jan. 1776 he was brought before the provincial committee of safety for refusing to pay taxes levied by the revolutionary congress. He was fined and stripped of his judicial appointment, which precipitated an open declaration of his loyalty. Approaching his mid fifties, he was not physically able to join a loyalist corps, but with the aid of a former fellow member of the legislature, Joseph Barton, in late 1776 he raised a battalion of 500 men. Pettit, "lame and infirm," remained in Sussex County where his assistance to "the friends of Government . . . exposed him to the worst treatment" from the rebels. Imprisoned from 4 April 1777 to 28 May 1778, he obtained his liberty only by paying heavy fines and taking out large bonds for his future behaviour. Pettit estimated these losses "at a very moderate computation" to be in excess of £1,000. Moreover, when he left the United States he had to sell his mills and lands for less than half their value. Although he pressed his "well attested" case before the loyalist claims commission, it "was attended with no effect." With several friends he left his home and arrived in the Niagara area of Quebec in 1787 "to solicit a settlement where he may enjoy that Liberty and comfort so amply secured by the British constitution." He received a grant of 700 acres, and in 1794 another 1,300. His lands were located in Saltfleet, Grimsby (North and South Grimsby), Burford, Ancaster, and Aldborough townships.
On 24 July 1788 Lord Dorchester [Guy Carleton] established four new administrative districts in what was to become Upper Canada. The chief institutions in the new districts were the land board and the Court of Common Pleas; Pettit's appointment to both on 24 Oct. 1788 in the Nassau District reflected his pre-revolutionary prominence. He served on the land board with John Butler*, Robert Hamilton, Benjamin Pawling, and John Warren, and also was a member of its successor, the land board of Lincoln County, established on 20 Oct. 1792. The other officials sitting on the district court were Hamilton, Pawling, and Peter Ten Broeck. The board settled matters of land title and the court handled questions of debt. Neither concern was crucial to Pettit's interests and his attendance was sporadic: he was present at only 9 of 36 sessions of the land board between 26 Oct. 1789 and March 1792 and 4 of 23 sessions of the court between 28 Oct. 1788 and 10 April 1794. The court was abolished by act of the provincial legislature in July 1794 and the land board by order in council the following November. Pettit was a justice of the peace from 19 June 1789; his last commission was dated 1 April 1803, several weeks after his death. He was named to the first Heir and Devisee Commission for the Home District on 19 Oct. 1797 and reappointed on 21 July 1800 for Lincoln County. He did not attend any of the three meetings between 1 Oct. 1800 and his death.
Pettit's stature is perhaps best reflected by Dorchester's recommendation of him on 15 March 1790, on the advice of Sir John Johnson*, as one of eight legislative councillors for the intended province of Upper Canada. Of those commissioned on 12 July 1792, five were selected from this 1790 list. For whatever reason, possibly because of advanced age, Pettit was rejected on the suggestion of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. However, on 27 Aug. 1792 he was elected for the riding of Durham, York, and 1st Lincoln to the first parliament of the new province. The records for this period are fragmentary and it is not known how he participated in the affairs of the assembly. He was succeeded in the second parliament by Richard Beasley*.
Pettit did not live long enough to accumulate much more than the land he had been granted. In fact, between 1800 and 1802 he sold off substantial portions of it, mostly to his sons-in-law. In his will he left the remainder to his five surviving daughters and £80 to his son-in-law Lawrence Lawrason, a successful London merchant. In some ways the British government had compensated Pettit for his losses; however, his advancing years did not allow him to rebuild his life to its former eminence.

Mt Evans - 5.8 Miles Round-Trip
Mt Evans (14,264') is the 14th highest peak in Colorado, and closest fourteener to the Denver metro area. While the summit is accessible by car, there are also several hiking routes of varying length and difficulty leading to it.
One route begins at Summit Lake and climbs 1,400' in 2.9 miles to Mt Evans. Visitors will enjoy a relatively moderate trek through open tundra with excellent wildlife viewing throughout.
Surprisingly, hiking routes to Mt Evans are absent from many popular maps. View this map for the route, which scales the Summit Lake cirque to Mt Spalding, then over Lake Abyss to Mt Evans:
The trail skirts Summit Lake to the Chicago Lakes - Mt Evans Trail split (.2 miles) with long views down the glacially carved Chicago Creek Valley.
The Mt Evans Trail banks left and climbs steeply with several short rock scrambles to the top of the Summit Lake cirque basin (1.0 miles : 13,717'). Here travel moderates in open tundra with panoramas that include Grays and Torreys, Mt Bierstadt and the Chicago and Summit Lake basins.
The trail rises to a crest just behind Mt Spalding (1.2 miles : 13,830') and drops to a low point in a broad saddle (1.5 miles : 13,621'). A good line of cairns mark the trail, but blend seamlessly into the landscape. Keep track of your progress, as the faint trail can be difficult to follow.
The trail climbs steeply from the nadir to a crest (2.0 miles : 13,960'), and wraps around the southwest side of Mt Evans with commanding views over the Abyss Lake basin, Mt Bierstadt, and Sawtooth.
The trail crosses 14,000 at 2.1 miles, but undulates ruggedly through large boulders with little net gain over the next half mile.
Travel slows through this uneven section until reaching the Mt Evans Road (2.85 miles : 14,169'), just before which switchbacks break left to the Mt Evans summit (2.9 miles : 14,264').
Views are sensational, but the mountain goats and bighorn sheep that frequent the summit pavilion may be of even greater interest. Enjoy wildlife from a safe distance.

Worth Noting
- Though it sees heavy use, the Mt Evans Trail is faint and indistinguishable from the landscape in several places. Additionally, travel slows as you pick your way through large talus from 2.1 to 2.8 miles. Allow plenty of time for the hike, and aim for lower ground well before storms develop.
- Land east of Summit Lake is known as the Summit Lake Flats, and is the only known area of permafrost in the United States outside of Alaska.
- Summit Lake is known to hold very large rainbow and brown trout.
- Mt Spalding (13,842') is a short detour from the trail, and relatively easy summit.
- Mt Evans Road is the highest paved road in North America.
Camping and Backpacking Information
- Dispersed backcountry camping is permitted in the Pike National Forest, Arapaho National Forest, and Mt Evans Wilderness Area. Camping is not permitted at Summit Lake, or the immediate vicinity. Summit Lake is managed separately by Denver Mountain Park.
- Camping is prohibited within 100' of any lake, stream, or road. Group size is limited to 15 individuals.
- Campfires are permitted for dispersed backcountry camping, with potential seasonal and elevation restrictions.
- If in the Mt Evans Wilderness , one member of each party is required to register at a Mt Evans Wilderness boundary board and carry a copy of the registration with them during their visit. There is no registration fee.
Fishing Information
- Fishing is permitted in Summit Lake with a valid Colorado state fishing license.
- A total of four fish may be kept, minimum length 12 inches.
- Summit Lake is known to hold fish that reach 18-30".
Rules and Regulations
- There's a $10 fee to park at Summit Lake, Mt Evans Summit, and Mount Goliath Trailhead.
- Dogs are permitted on the Mt Evans Trail. Dogs must be leashed at all times.
- Bikes and mechanized vehicles are not permitted on the Mt Evans Trail.
Directions to Trailhead
The Summit Lake Trailhead is located 22.9 miles south of Idaho Springs, CO on the Mt Evans Scenic Byway.

CUAid Activated for Credit Unions Affected by Hurricane Sandy
National CU Foundation Appeals for Donations from Credit Union Supporters across America
Madison, Wis. – The National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) has activated the online disaster relief system CUAid.coop to raise money for credit union people along the East Coast affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Credit union supporters in every state can now make donations at www.cuaid.coop. CUAid is the only program of its kind that enables credit union employees, volunteers, and members, as well as credit unions and credit union organizations across the U.S., to contribute directly to support other credit union people.
"To help alleviate the devastating effects of this disaster, we encourage credit union leaders all across the country to use CUAid.coop as a channel to collect donations from their employees, volunteers, and members," said NCUF Executive Director Bucky Sebastian. "Everyone who supports CUAid is helping affected credit union people directly with critical needs, longer-term recovery needs, operational needs, and assisting credit union members."
As donations are posted through CUAid.coop, NCUF will coordinate with the credit union leagues in the disaster area to distribute money efficiently to affected credit union employees and members. 100% of the donations through CUAid goes to credit union disaster relief. In the event that all donations are not used for Hurricane Sandy relief, NCUF will transfer any and all unused funds to its "General Disaster Relief fund" for future disaster relief efforts.
CUAid was developed by NCUF in cooperation with state credit union foundations, state credit union leagues, and the Credit Union National Association's Disaster Preparedness Committee in 2006.
Organizations and individuals can use a variety of CUAid web buttons for their website. Please click here for the easily linkable buttons. Click here for a direct link to the donation form.

Wife of former president Goodluck Jonathan, has denied media reports that $175million is missing from her bank accounts.
According to Dame Patience Jonathan, her account balance as of the time it was frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was less than $10million.
In a statement signed by her spokesman, Mr. Sam Dokubo, on Wednesday, she urged the media to be fair and stop twisting facts.
The statement reads: "For the avoidance of doubt, while indeed it is true that Dame Patience is in court for the protection of her fundamental rights infringed upon by a 'No debit order' placed on her funds by the EFCC, it is not for $15m but for funds less than $10m as has been clarified several times.
"The purported story in a newspaper on November 19, 2016, about a missing $175m allegedly belonging to the former first lady is not just fictitious but plain falsehood.
It added, "The EFCC has not made any statement to the existence of an investigation of any missing $175m linked to the former first lady.
"If any such funds as claimed, which was deposited by certain verifiable persons has gone missing without a trace from a known bank, Skye Bank, as was reported, then, the bank, its officials and those mentioned must be held to account for the funds and not the former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, who was in no way a part of the transaction.
"The claim that the money was credited to a company linked to Dame Patience Jonathan is also false; otherwise it should be officially substantiated with credible evidence by Skye Bank and the EFCC that are jointly mentioned in the report."
Patience Jonathan promised to sue any media house that continues to malign her.
Patience is suing the EFCC and Skye Bank for freezing accounts linked to her. She is also demanding a N200m settlement.

Portrait of a Werewolf and the Transformation Process
A Ritual
Werewolves' Cases From Medieval French Chronicles
Possible Explanations of Werewolf Phenomenon
Modern Werewolf Cases from Scientific View Point
A Ritual
"Hail, hail, hail, great Wolf Spirit,
Thus begins an ancient incantation. The lycanthropic literature of the past is filled with such eerie chants, delivered in desolate locations within the perimeters of mysterious circles scratched onto the ground, and generally beneath the ghostly light of a full moon. As invocation of evil, the chants called upon the spirits of the trees and air, heat and fire, cold and ice. Repeating the chants over and over again, the votary prepared himself psychically for the transformation. Yet however intently he might feel the words, they were not enough to bring him to the altered state of mind that would enable him to kill and eat his victims. Essential was a girdle or belt cut from the skin of a wolf to be worn around the waist. But more important by far were the vapors that he might inhale or the slaves or ointment with which he might rub his naked body. Made from ingredients as foul as potent, the potions contained psychoactive substances that released the beast within the lycanthrope and set him on his bloody course.
With evil

of pine or larch and black poplar and suspend an iron cauldron on it from
branches above. Into it he will drop these ingredients;
opium, poppy seeds, aloe, henbane, hemlock, parsley, solanine (an extract
of night shade), and asafetida (a gum resin). After stirring all the components
together , he will allow the contents
to simmer. When flames leap up, he will begin his incantation: "Elect of
all devilish host, I pray you send hither, the great gray shape that makes
men shiver. Come! Come! Come! "
Having removed his clothing and put on a wolf-skin girdle, the devotee now rubs his entire body with a salve. Such ointments, which were absorbed through the skin, were made from ingredients as varied as camphor, aconite, aniseed, opium, poplar leaves, bat's blood and root, mixed with the rendered fat of a cat. Before the ointment begins to take effect, the man breathes in the intoxicating fumes floating from the bubbling cauldron, which prepare him mentally for the next stage of his strange ritual.
Under double influence of the fumes and salve, the man falls to his knees, imploring the spirit of the unknown to bestow on him the power of metamorphosis. With his hands raised, he intones these words; "I beg, I pray, I implore thee-thee unparalleled Phantom of Darkness-to make me a werewolf." He starts to feel as if his own body is changing structure, growing hairier, his nails lengthening into claws.
Fully transformed the werewolf bounds off into the darkness. But however strong and mean he thinks himself, he knows that even as a werewolf he will be vulnerable, hence the must chant as a charm the final words of the transformation ceremony: "Melt the bullet, blunt the knife, rot the cudgel, strike fear into man, beast and reptile so they may not seize the gray wolf, nor tear his from his warm hide. My word is firm, firmer than sleep or the strength of heroes."

For those of you who made it out to San Diego this past weekend, you should have come to the Nickelodeon booth. Along with 2 of my esteemed co-workers, I was drawing cartoons for the kids to promote PetPet Park, an new virtual online world I'm heavily involved with for my day job. It was a ton of fun and everyone seemed to really like the drawings!

Interview with Rob Savoye of Gnash, the GPL Flash project
Update: Gnash has a new release available on the Gnash homepage.1. Can you talk a bit about the history of the Gnash project?
Gnash started life as GameSWF. GameSWF was a public domain Flash player project that I did some work on for a customer (I'm a consultant and contract programmer) about a year and a half ago. I didn't think much of it until one day John Gilmore asked if I'd make it a plugin for Firefox. I thought about that for a few months while I was busy doing Katrina relief work (I'm a search and rescue volunteer), and when I came back, I decided a free Flash plugin was a good thing. The maintainer of GameSWF had zero interest in a more actively developed project, so I forked GameSWF and made it into Gnash. Much of the GameSWF code has been rewritten to support new features and other improvements, but it was a good code base to start with. At this point in time, Gnash is substantially different than GameSWF.2. How many developers contribute to the project?
Right now Gnash has several of us that are working on Gnash full time, and many more are contributing part-time. Being a free software project, we find we get contributions of code, patches, bug fixes, and user testing from the community. While there are probably about 6 core developers, we feel there are many more people all helping make Gnash into a better Flash player.3. What are the goals of the Gnash project?
Well, our primary goal is to make a high quality Flash player, because the free software community needs one. I don't think we're trying to compete with Adobe at all. Now my personal interest as a long time embedded systems engineer is to see Gnash running on small devices, like smart phones, PDAs, etc... because Flash is a good graphical environment for UI developers. I've also seen a huge amount of support in the consumer electronics industry that endorses this idea as well. I think it's highly likely you'll start seeing devices shipping later this year with Gnash inside.
At the same time, many people want to use Gnash as a browser plugin, so we spend a lot of time improving functionality in Gnash to play random Flash movies off the net. So in the long run, we will wind up with a fully compliant Flash player at the v9 level.4. How does Adobe's announcement that they are open sourcing the ActionScript Virtual Machine affect the Gnash project?
I seriously doubt it. We already have a good VM in Gnash, and we've already implemented most of the ActionScript classes. As we won't be using Tamarin, there really isn't anyway we could contribute. They're welcome to steal code from us though if they don't mind the GPL. :-)6. What features does the current version of Gnash support?
We support a large chunk of ActionScript2 classes, and Flash v7 movies. There is some support for v8 starting to get added as it's not very difference from v7. Although streaming video currently works in CVS, it's not fully functional yet. I find that Gnash plays the majority of web pages Flash ads (unfortunately), and many movies randomly grabbed from the net. Many of us are using Gnash as our only Flash player without much trouble.7. What is the near term roadmap for Gnash? What are you planning to implement in the next couple of versions?
The next release will be out any day now... and includes much better support for web page navigation using Flash, sound works, and you can cross compile Gnash and run it on your PDA. This release will also include a much higher performance 2D backend using AntiGrain, as often OpenGL is overkill, and many embedded targets only have a framebuffer.
The next release will have full streaming video support, more improvements for embedded targets, and will support Gnash "plugins" to add custom ActionScript classes, or extend Gnash much like Firefox supports extensions. This will enable Flash to become more of a general purpose scripting language than it is now, as it's possible to write wrappers for any development library much like Perl or Python supports.
Following that, v9 support finally lands on the TODO list, probably coming out sometime next summer. Our focus is currently more on making a higher performance Flash player, fixing existing compatibility issues with the commercial player, and refactoring of Gnash internally to support the new features we want to add.8. What distros does Gnash run on?
Most all of them. :-) Currently Gnash is available for all the BSD variants, most GNU/Linux distributions, and the embedded versions of Debian. I don't really check that often, but it's also available with Fedora and Ubuntu. For anyone on a BSD platform, or running on a 64 bit architecture, Gnash is their *only* option for Flash.9. The SWF SDK is only available under a license that forbids development of an alternate player. How do you work around that?
We use Ming to generate Flash movies for testing purposes, plus collect Flash movies off the net. Now that Adobe has donated code to Mozilla, we hope they'll publically support the creation of other free Flash players, like they supported other free PDF or Postscript viewers. If anyone that uses the Flash IDE can't work on any Flash technology, then I doubt the Mozilla team will find there will be no comm unity involvement. Finding engineers that haven't purchased the SDK is very difficult, which I'm sure is the purpose of this clause in the license. It turns out it's actually unenforceable in many countries.
If Adobe is truly supportive of open source, they should publically announce there is no problem for Gnash developers to use the Flash IDE. Otherwise, I think that even Mozilla developers can't use the Flash IDE to work with Tamarin. So in this case their donated software isn't really free of issues for developers.10. If Adobe become consistent in releasing the Linux version of the Flash Player, does that make Gnash less important?
I don't believe so. For one thing, Gnash supports more platforms than Adobe's player. Adobe is moving in a direction of bigger and better with Flex or Apollo. Gnash is moving in the opposite direction, smaller, more portable, and flexible. It's important that the free software community has it's own Flash player, just like we need a browser, office software, etc…11. Are you planning to still support SWF 8, or will you go right to SWF 9?
We're slowly implementing v8 features. Most of v8 were internal changes in the Macromedia Flash player. Our main use of Tamarin will be to see what the new opcodes are, and the other differences between v8 and v9 so we can implement them. In the embedded world, the version of the player is much less important as the movie will likely be tailored to the player.12. Have you looked at implementing SWF 9? Will it require a rewrite of the code in Gnash so far? Do you plan to incorporate the open AVM?
To start, the open AVM is a tiny subset of what is needed for v9. It doesn't even cover all the classes used by the Flash player. Gnash already has support for all the classes in Tamarin, so there really isn't any reason to use it as is.
The Adobe v9 player has two VMs inside, one for v9, and the other for older movies. I personally think this is a design mistake. Our plans are to extend the Gnash VM to handle any Flash version. I have enough experience with VM design that I'm not that worried about it based on my initial research.13. Since Gnash has become one of the Free Software Foundation's high priority projects, have you seen an uptake in interest on the part of both users and developers?
Oh yes. Having the support of the FSF is very useful, because it encourages people to contribute. And it's user contributions that really help make a project like Gnash a successful project.
A big thanks to Rob for taking the time to talk with me and answering my questions.

- Common Name:
- Baboons
- Scientific Name:
- Papio
- Type:
- Mammals
- Diet:
- Omnivore
- Group Name:
- Troop
- Average Life Span In The Wild:
- 30 years
- Size:
- Head and body: 20 to 34 inches; tail: 16 to 23 inches
- Weight:
- 33 to 82 pounds
There are five different species of baboons. All of them live in Africa or Arabia. Baboons are some of the world's largest monkeys, and males of different species average from 33 to 82 pounds. Baboon bodies are 20 to 40 inches long, not including substantial tails of varying lengths.
Baboons generally prefer savanna and other semi-arid habitats, though a few live in tropical forests.
Like other Old World monkeys, baboons do not have prehensile (gripping) tails. But they can and do climb trees to sleep, eat, or look out for trouble. They spend much of their time on the ground.
Baboons are opportunistic eaters and, fond of crops, become destructive pests to many African farmers. They eat fruits, grasses, seeds, bark, and roots, but also have a taste for meat. They eat birds, rodents, and even the young of larger mammals, such as antelopes and sheep.
Four baboon species (i.e., chacma, olive, yellow, and Guinea) are known as the savanna baboons. These animals form large troops, composed of dozens or even hundreds of baboons, governed by a complex hierarchy that fascinates scientists. Males use shows of physical power to dominate rivals, and troop members spend endless hours carefully grooming one another to remove insects and dead skin.
A fifth species, the hamadryas baboon, lives in the hills along the Red Sea coasts of Africa and Arabia. These cliff-dwelling baboons disperse to forage during the day and reconvene in much smaller groups at night.

Greetings from the DFW Airport's Admiral's Club (my second home, it seems), where I'm waiting to catch my flight to Tokyo. I'm on my way to Malaysia to give a series of multi-day lectures in the city of Miri. I'll be conducting a Catholic leadership conference, followed by an apologetics and family-issues conference for men of the diocese. I'm looking forward to it, though not to the 13-hour flight from here to Tokyo. Tomorrow, from there, it's another 10 hours by plane to Miri. But I won't complain. Just imagine what St. Paul and his companions could have accomplished if there were jet air travel in their day. Just imagine what St. Ignatius of Loyola could have accomplished if he and St. Francis Xavier had had fax machines!
Of all the many foreign trips I've undertaken over the past 20+ years that I've had the privilege of doing this kind of public speaking, this will be the first time that I will have blogged about the journey and my experiences along the way. At least, that's my plan. Assuming I have regular internet connection in Malaysia -- which I have no reason to assume I won't -- I hope to give you regular updates on this apostolic adventure.
Please pray for me, especially for my safe travel, to and fro, for the happiness and wellbeing of my family while I'm gone and, just as importantly, that the Lord would grant me the graces and strength necessary so that I might glorify Him and serve the local Church in Malaysia as well as I possibly can. God bless you all.

I'm new to graphics, and had to make a small poster for a competition. I created it in Inkscape, but found out they need a .ai file. I tried opening the SVG in Illustrator, and it just does not look the same. I don't know how I can fix this!
Here's what it looks like in Inkscape:
And in Illustrator:
I know nothing about Illustrator, so I don't know if there is a simple fix for this.
For reference, here is the file as well in SVG format.
Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

Since being back in NYC, for the last week and a half, I have gone to a different church every day for Daily Mass.
And as much as I wish I could say I was 100% going for faith and spiritual purposes, I would be lying if I didn't say that 62% of my reason for attendance was because I am…#HusbandHunting.
Some women lunch down on Wall Street in the hopes of meeting Mr. Right. Some women attend daily mass. Po-ta-to, Po-tah-to.
Don't judge me, but I go full hair and makeup in the hopes of fortuitously bumping into the future Mr. BBB. Not that I don't trust God's plan and timing, but let's just say…I'm giving Him a little help. Trying to speed up the process, if you will.
But it's actually been a really interesting exercise to go to all these different churches in all these different neighborhood around the city.
I've been in, of course, St. Patrick's cathedral, where I was dodging tourists taking photos on their iPads.
I've been in sleepy chapels with only 3 other people. I've been in Spanish speaking masses where they sell homemade empanadas outside on the sidewalk afterwards. Even one where the song books were written in Chinese! (I wish I would have taken a picture!) Uptown. Downtown. Midtown. Brooklyn.
And no matter where I went, there was one, glaringly obvious similarity…
There were no young people.
Nope. Not a single under-30 to be found. With the exception of one couple I saw that were clearly in a relationship, all the other people in the pews were either geriatric, or recipients of AARP magazine. (And no offense to either of these wonderful groups of people. I love ya, but this girl's lookin' for a husband, here!)
But after the end of the second week of, again, being the youngest in the room by an easy 20 years, I was feeling very discouraged. I sat there in the pew, looking up at the crucifix and seeing Jesus literally hanging there, it made me really sad to think that here's this incredible gift that He gave us, and nobody flippin' cares.
The pews were empty.
And listen, I'm not some holier-than-thou exemption either. Sitting there in my high heels and lipstick, my attendance clearly had ulterior motives.
But the emptiness was definitely alarming.
And I get it, just because you don't go to church doesn't mean you don't love Jesus. That's not my point here either. But it just saddened me to see church attendance literally on life support.
Is this it? Have we finally reached that moment where Christianity has become obsolete, minus a handful of out-of-touch "bible bangers" who don't know the difference between Kanye and Kenya?
Have we finally reached the moment where Christianity has become irrelevant?
The answer: Faith is needed now more than ever.
Yeah, sure, it may be more interesting to sit around on our iPhones and read about the latest sexual abuse allegation on Twitter. Or watch Instagram Stories from your friends, or scrutinize Kylie Jenner's snapchats and whether or not she has a baby bump.
Sure. Those things are definitely technological luxuries of the time, but the fact is, we need to pray for this broken world.
We need to pray for those empty seats.
We need to ask Jesus to help those who are hurting and to move in the hearts of those who could be filling those empty pews.
But here's the truth of the matter: we need to be Jesus' hands and feet here on Earth.
And that doesn't necessarily mean going out and evangelizing on the street corners and handing out your church's business cards at the water cooler. Although, that would be great if you did.
It starts in the way you treat people.
Are we living with compassion and empathy? Are we creating a welcoming environment for those who may be at church for the first time?
Are we making faith attractive, or is it more of an exclusive club with lofty prerequisites and impossible standards.
If we want those seats to be full, we need to make it a place people want to be.
I'll be going to mass here again in a little while. And tonight, I'll be praying for those empty seats. For the conversion of hearts. For the hurting in our world.
May I be a source of hope in this dark world. May I make His gospel seem inviting.
And may I find a freakin' husband.
