Cathy believes a real estate agent should bring a peaceful mind to clients. During the stressful house selling/buying process, clients can always rely on her, no matter what situation. Her analytics-driven approach helps clients better understand current market trends, properly assess property's value, and choose the optimal buying/selling strategy. In addition, Cathy has strong interpersonal communication skills and is good at deal negotiation.
Cathy lives in Los Altos with her family and enjoys spending time with two lovely kids. In her spare time, she loves reading, hiking and chatting with friends. She also tries different cuisines and collects recipes from all over the world, even though she is not a good cook ;-).
I cannot say enough more about Cathy. She is a very professional and friendly Realtor. With her help, we got a very impressive deal in the super-hot area "Sunnyvale CA" in a short time period.

Cathy is very knowledgeable about the local house market and always made the right judgment. One will never worry about overpaying for a house with Cathy. She will suggest you not to bid any more if the price exceeds the house true market value. She is also very patient and always available to communicate with clients when it is needed. She is very nice and willing to help clients to resolve issues. With Cathy as our Realtor, our house hunting became an easy, pleasing procedure. We feel so lucky that we got to know Cathy and could work with her in this purchase. We highly recommend Cathy to anyone who wants to buy a house in the California bay area.

Cathy helped us purchase our new apartment in Great Mall area within a very short time frame. With her professional support, we managed to find the right place. Highly recommended! Cathy is very knowledgeable about the Bay area market and the whole transaction cycle. She knows the loan agents very well who helped us get the pre-qualification letter timely for the purchase. Also she gets very in-depth understanding about the different home builders which ensure we can make the right decision as we need to pick the new constructed home. If we have a chance for our next purchase, Cathy will definitely be our agent.
I highly recommend Cathy as buyer agent. She helped us purchase a home in Sunnyvale. Cathy has deep local knowledge on the history and trend in the neighborhoods. She's very patient and showed us around multiple areas to help us explore and understand our needs.
Her research and data science background really helps discovering hidden gems and bid smartly to win our dream house, especially in this high competitive market. Cathy is also well connected with lenders, big listing companies, which made our process easier.
If you are looking for an agent who put your best interest in the first place, Cathy is definitely the one to go with!
Cathy helped us purchased a house in one highly desirable area of Mountain View. She is very knowledgeable in real estate and the market in South Bay. During the process, she gave us professional analysis and suggestions, which helped a lot on the decisions we made. She knows the pros and cons of each house we toured and never pushed us make an offer. She is the key factor that helps us land our new home. Overall, we highly recommend Cathy if you are buying a home, especially in South Bay.
Cathy did a excellent job helping us find a home in the South Bay. We have very limited knowledge in the begining on the local house market as first time buyers. Cathy was extremely patient and responded us promptly for every questions. She has a wide knowledge of the industry and lots of related resources, from mortgage, schools to house inspection. She shared not only knowledge but also her philosophy of life, which really inspired us.
In the bidding war, her accurate estimations ensured us to get the chance of countering almost every time. She was not pushing, always analyzing the situation with a calm mind, and helped us adjusting our counter offer upwards or downwards wisely(yes, sometimes downwards in this crazy hot market!). We are so grateful since we got our new home with a very reasonable price.
If buyers and their agent work as a team in this strong seller market, Cathy is definitely an awesome teammate who you can trust and want to work with!
Cathy was extremely knowledgeable and professional during the whole process of helping us find our new home. She always answered our questions promptly, based on her broad understanding of the market, combined with her personal experience and understanding from a friend's perspective. She has never pushed us to make a rush decision in the hope of personal gain, instead, she always tried to advise us think twice and make wise decisions. She was the key factor that we were able to land an awesome deal and find our current sweet home. We were so lucky to have her as our agent and strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home in the Bay Area.
Cathy is quite professional at her field. This is our first time to buy a property and it only took us two weeks to get a townhouse at Sunnyvale with her help. She is also very kind and respondent. She would answer my questions or schedule a tour at midnight and when the counter price went too high, she was the person to say stop instead of pushing us go too far away. I will recommend her to my friends!
We feel extremely lucky to have Cathy as our buyer's agent to buy our very first home in California. We are first time buyer and are working remotely from where we want to do house hunting. Cathy was knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process - She briefed us on the area carefully and listened carefully to what we want. She gave constructive suggestions and took us to open houses during week days usually with short notice. Cathy is flexible and always willing to take us to whatever property we are interested, from where she would start giving advice with all the fact. During the process we had tons of random questions, sometimes at night, sometimes in the early morning - She's super responsive and always answered clearly with patience. This is specifically helpful as we had a tight schedule and wanted to move fast. When in the offering stage, Cathy was professional to draft the offer which helped us to get the house we wanted in a fast and smooth manner. The closure also went well thanks to Cathy's recommendation on the loan broker. Overall, if you're buying a home at South Bay or you don't know much about how to buy a house like we did, I'd highly recommend Cathy.
Great service together with perfect advise for buying a home, you worth it!!! If you are looking for someone who could clear your mind during the peak time, providing cool suggestions not only for purchasing price, but for future potential, you should go with Cathy for sure.
We are lucky to have Cathy as our real estate agent. She helped us to purchase our first home in California. She is very knowledgeable and responsible. She did real estate investment herself for a long time. Thus, she has good sense on real estate investment. Meanwhile, Cathy is very patient and always listens to us. She takes time to communicate with us and understand what we really need. She gives us her recommendation and explain the reason but never push us on anything. According to our budget, long-term and short-term plan, she helped us find a property which fit our needs best. She is honest and always points out the good and bad points of a property. She never push us to buy and always put our interest at the first priority. She has great negotiation skills and local network. During our transaction, she is able to negotiate a great price for us. We will definitely recommend her to our friends for any real estate related business.
It's our great pleasure to have Cathy as our buyer agent! Cathy is very professional and patient, we basically knew nothing about buying a home in the United States and we learned a lot through the home buying procedure this time, Cathy is always willing to answer our questions and provide more information. More importantly, Cathy is very honest, she will tell you upfront the undesired things that may happen and won't hide them, I think this is crucial for buyer/seller to adjust the expectations reasonably. P.S. Cathy just helped us to buy a house, this is the second offer we made and we are glad it's accepted. Although we are still in the process of the loan, I hope everything goes well. I would definitely recommend Cathy to my friends and whoever is reading this review.
Cathy was a very professional and helpful agent, and she helped us buy a great home in Mountain View. Cathy strives to get the best deal for us. She is not someone that would just push you to bid higher. Instead, she finds ways other than the numbers to make the offers attractive, while keeping the price fair. She is very knowledgeable about the local market (SV, MV, etc) and well connected to find the best new listings. She is very open to give honest opinions about the houses, even if the market appeared to be sizzling hot. As a result we avoided getting trapped in a heated bidding war. After the sale, she kept helping us, answering all the questions from remodeling to local pre-schools. We would definitely recommend her to our friends for housing needs around the peninsula.
I'll recommend Cathy to all of my friends who are buying homes! She's knowledgeable about my areas of interest(Sunnyvale, Cupertino and west San Jose), patient and responsive throughout the whole process, before and *even* after my transaction, which made my life much easier as a first-time buyer. It's such a peace of mind I've got! She's also expert in inter-personal communication and negotiation, thanks to which I was able to get the current home at a good price. Moreover, she helped me with basic structure questions, too, so I was confident while making a offer.
My wife and I worked with Cathy to search our next new home in a specific area. The searching is quite challenging because we really narrowed our future house in a specific area code that we are familiar with, we had many strict criteria about house conditions and nearby environment, and we had tight budget that was firmly set. But Cathy kept close contact with us and vigorously searched any potential houses as soon as they were newly listed. She followed our schedules for house tours and always accompanied us in checking out new listings/houses. Many times, she reminded us about any issues with some houses via her insights and research, therefore, we avoided many future/potential headaches with those houses, had we not got such valuable advices from her. In the end, we got our dream house via her help, effort and unbeatable negotiation skills. We really feel lucky to have got to know Cathy and have relied on her to find our dream house. We highly recommend Cathy to anyone who wants to have a trustful, sincere and friendly agent to help find their next houses.
Cathy helped us purchase our first home. We were on a tight schedule but Cathy managed to find us the right place and negotiate a good deal for us. Highly recommended! Now, couple of points on why you should hire Cathy for your real estate needs in the bay area.
1. Cathy is very knowledgable about the local real estate market and the whole real estate business process. She knows inside-out the value of houses, and makes recommendation based on concrete market data. Her data science research background really sets her apart from other agents.
2. Cathy puts customer first, and provides excellent service. Although we were on a tight schedule and would like to get a deal asap, Cathy did not rush us to any homes that are not a good match for us. She wouldn't hesitate to advise against buying if there's clear downside. Throughout the whole process, Cathy has been taking us to see homes tirelessly, and making meaningful analyses. When making offers, Cathy would actively reach out to seller agent, get latest info, and keep us posted. I think that's key to getting a good deal in this market. After the deal was finalized, she also helped out with several touch-ups of our newly-purchased home!
3. Cathy is professional, friendly, and responsive. Her exceptional communication skills make us feel very easy to work with her. Without any exception, we got our questions answered quickly. This alone makes us feel less stressful about home hunting.
Cathy helped us smoothly sell our home in an uncertain market condition at the top of our expectation range. We decided to relocate for work and sell our property in San Jose at the end of summer 2016. At the time, the Bay Area housing market had experienced some slowdown in recent months and we were not sure what to expect in selling price. After talking with multiple listing agents, we decided to choose Cathy as our listing agent, due to her data and fact driven approach, as well as good communication skills and proactive timeline management skills that she gained from her corporate job. She made sure that we always knew what the key things were for each phase of the selling process, and delivered her service in a reliable and trustworthy way.
Cathy did extensive research on our neighborhood and our house, identified top selling points for our house, as well as potential concerns buyers may have about some unique features of our house (e.g. heavy wood shakes roof that did not have a great appearance but would provide maximum comfort level and energy savings through better insulation compared to composite shingles roof). Through buyer education, she made sure that buyers' concerns were all well explained and that potential buyers understood the correct market value of our house. On the offer deadline day, we received 8 offers on our house, with one having the highest purchase price but some contingencies. Cathy then successfully had the buyer (buyer's agent) remove all contingencies using her strong negotiation skills.
In the end, we had the best of both worlds – highest price without any contingencies. We sold the house at the highest point of our expectation and are very happy about the result that Cathy delivered. We would highly recommend Cathy to anybody considering any real estate transactions. I am sure that you will be happy about the end results.
Recently I bought a new house and sold the old one within a short time frame. Cathy represented me in both cases. I cannot say enough about the good work she did!
She was with me in the house hunting battle for over a year, during which she had been always supportive regardless of my decisions. Each time I felt very confident and comfortable when making an offer. Even when I lost, I knew it was for a good reason. She never asked me to bid up high, like most agents would do. She stayed within my budget, and gave professional and helpful advice. Rather than pushing me to make offers, she always listed all the pros and cons for each property. She even gave me school information, neighborhood environment and etc. Her negotiation skill was wonderful! If it were not for Cathy, I would have lost the opportunity to purchase my wonderful dream house.
When I decided to sell the old property, it was summer vacation time. The housing market was slow. One of my neighbor's listing was on market for more than a month and could not find a buyer. Cathy presented the selling strategy and then suggested some improvement tasks to make it more attractive with minimum cost. I hesitated at first about making those improvements. Now I was so fortunate to have followed her advice. Every penny is worth it! Even before the open house, offers already fly in. Cathy hosted a wonderful open house which attracted more traffic than I expected. I was well informed of each offer in a timely manner. Everything went well during transactions. The result turned out to be very satisfactory.
I will definitely go to Cathy for my future housing needs. I also highly recommend Cathy as both listing agent and buyer agent to my family and friends.

We're now at Plan D for the activation of the Ergomenon Crystals. None of the 10 Keepers and 50 Priestesses required for the first phase of activation have shown up for the task, the Master of the Keys disappeared and I don't know what happened of her, and the opposition to such activation is extremely heavy. The activation is happening anyway, and I was told to wait until we reach the 15.2% activation milestone before talking about it to not draw even more opposition and baggage to it. At this point the activation cannot be stopped.
We flipped the activation process up-side-down. Instead of relying on 10 Keepers and 50 Priestesses to ground the high-frequency energies, we've plugged the crystals into a fully activated crystal in a higher Universe to boost it, and have opted to brute-force the activation because all the warnings have already been given and those who haven't waken up will still hold their ground no matter what. So, brute-force activation it is. I'm getting support from the Counsel of the Crystals in that higher Universe — it's good to have potent support for once.
The activation started 3-4 weeks ago and is now at 15.2%. It is absolutely obliterating the old power structures of the matrix, going at a very slow but gradual pace and crushing any resistance in its path.
At first I was holding the task of all 60 Keepers and Priestesses on my own to ground the new energies to get the activation started — DEFINITELY an irregular situation. However the tensions and lack of acceptance of these energies were so brutal that it caused me to vomit. Truth be told, the task of holding the space for the emergence of a new world is best suited for an object, so additional crystals have been placed around the Ergomenon Crystals that transferred that responsibility and weight away from me, and those crystals are fully plugged into the other Universe at full strength. What a relief. Things have been going well afterward — at least here. Lots of ambulances have been passing by of course.
Now there's another interesting update. The Crystals have chosen CEO Space International, a club of entrepreneurs, to be the vehicle to ground these high-frequency energies. It is a club of leaders who, for the most part, want to lead society forward and who want to lead the emergence of better ways of doing, instead of pushing forward the left-overs of the old ways. 10 years ago CEO Space had a vibration of 513, but over the recent years it got infiltrated and corrupted by Cabal agents and was infested with mind-control Archons. The vibration then went down to -100, which means that even though the founder wants it to be a temple of God, it actually blocks the flow of God instead of being a vehicle for it. Yet it is the space with the most potential for the task.
GIN (Global Information Network) had a vibration of 613 until it got infiltrated and owned by the Cabal, and now has a vibration of -315 and has little potential to recover until Kevin Trudeau comes out of jail. It would have been the second-best vehicle. The Church of Mormons is another space where servants of God can grow and collaborate, and is the only one I know that hasn't been corrupted, but it hasn't been chosen by the crystals for this task.
The core energetic structures of CEO Space have already been absorbed by the crystals and the power structures are being completely overridden. You can count 3 days before it ramps up the voltage. For those involved — fasten your seat-belt. The activation can't be stopped at this point. The Cabal now holds 0% energetic influence over the club, the Crystals hold 50% energetic influence and the members hold 50% influence, as the crystals auto-tune themselves in such a way.
This is the rebirth of the kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
The story is just getting started.

The page provides a fluid documentation resource for Dashboard Best Practices within the Qualys suite of products.
Functional Reality & Purpose
Some considerations...
All dashboards are not created equal
The historical data content is not the same from one application dashboard to another - be sure to specify date/time in queries: lastVmScanDate, lastPcScanDate, lastCheckedIn, firstFound, lastFound
Comparing dashboarding and reporting data is not as cut and dry as you might think - be sure to understand the data, proper query formatting and proper search list use.
Dashboard and Reporting are two sides of the same coin – the coin being Data Visualization –
Side 1: interactive (dashboard), or,
Side 2: batch (reporting).
Dashboarding - It's all about the plan
|Tiered Reporting
|C-Level, VP-Level, D-Level, Manager, Technical SME-Level
|Lines of Business within your Organization
|Corporate, Subsidiary, Divisional, Regional, Branch
|Infrastructure/Network Segments
|Internal/External/DMZ, OnPrem/Cloud, Production, Pre-Production, QA, Test, Development, Sandboxed
|Technical/Remediation Team structure(s)
|Hardware/Software/Out-of-Band (Mgmt XFace), Operating System, Application, Database, Network, Server, Client Endpoint, Wireless, Internal/External/DMZ, Web Apps, Appliance, Physical, Virtual, Domains, etc.
Warning - At this time, Dashboard and Widget JSON files are not interchangeable between application dashboards, meaning AssetView json files may only be used in AssetView and Vulnerability Management json files may only be used in Vulnerability Management. If you import a widget by mistake from one app to another, please contact Qualys Support.
Dashboarding - Tips for Success
|Dashboards are interactive reports…so there's no need to change the approach between reporting and dashboarding schemas.
|Align your Dashboard Queries with Client Security policies, standards and guidelines.
|Engage Dashboard consumers frequently and assess how Dashboards can be best aligned with maintenance processes.
|Dashboards always collect the most recent scan results; therefore, purging outdated host scan results data is critical.
|Maintain consistent Widget structure to leverage the 90-day trending option.
|Dashboard routine should coincide with scanning routine - if you scan weekly, report weekly. (NOW-7D)
|Take advantage of Qualys API integrations (e.g. Splunk) for need-to-know dashboard management. (RBAC)
Feature and Functionality FAQs New 02-28-2019
- We will have "ignored" in Elasticsearch (ES) in the new Vulnerability Management dashboards, but the flag is only set if the system is rescanned.
QIDs disabled in the Knowledge Base (KB) those don't flow into ES, as they get removed from the sync, and they never come back as being applied to the asset. If a QID is disabled, we don't look for it.
- The dashboard trend graphs are not meant to be an audit-ready method of tracking data over time. The data is too volatile for that, as it can easily be wiped with a widget change. It is designed to be a visual indicator that something changed, so a major change in the widget count can be noticed. It only provides context for the count, because, without it, you only have a current-state number.

In collaboration with Sevynth brand
Urban streetwear with substance is what I live for. Nothing beats a dope graphic tee that doesn't do too much but still screams with a rebellious and edgy attitude. These tees by Sevynth brand read "Those who stay hungry get fed." and that resonates with me so much! As long as you have the hunger to succeed or achieve more, you will continue to bask in the fruits of your labor.
What's even better than dope graphic tees? Reconstructed pieces that provoke emotion. These reconstructed patchwork denim jeans were hand crafted by the owner of the brand himself and convey so much character and bring attention to social issues through dramatic imagery from old school horror films and artwork. I love supporting local and upcoming brands and businesses. Why spend $50 on the new Off White tee that everyone around the world has and fund a huge company when you can spend the same amount and support a young person with a big dream who's working day and night to make their dream a reality?

Hall of Fame Voters Really Made Love to the Pooch with This Closer Situation
One of the hallmarks of the annual Hall of Fame debates is the comparison to players already enshrined. It can be a very good exercise in determining the merits of a particular player, especially because after so many years, there are now a lot of players in the Hall of Fame. There are plenty of players at every single position. There are pitchers. There are power hitters, average hitters. There are great fielders. One area where the present Hall of Fame lacks in providing a good comparison is the Closer situation.
As Wendy Thurm's post indicated in evaluating Lee Smith's candidacy*, it is difficult to judge because the only full-time relief pitchers in the Hall of Fame are Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage and Bruce Sutter. Hoyt Wilhem is not an apt comparison, having retired in 1972 with 500 more innings pitched than even Rollie Fingers. Wendy reached the conclusion that Smith was better than Sutter, not as good as Fingers and Gossage, and put Smith just on the other side of the Hall of Fame. It feels like the right call, but if Sutter is in the Hall what exactly is the standard for relief pitchers?
Taking a look at only Fingers, Sutter, and Gossage is not very instructive, so I expanded the parameters for comparison to include Smith, a likely first ballot player in Mariano Rivera as well as Trevor Hoffman, whose candidacy is not really clear at this point.
The era that the current members of the Hall played in was different than the current players with Smith serving as sort of a bridge between the two. I wanted to compare their innings totals so I took a look at each player's twelve best years (omitting Gossage's year as a starter) and created a cumulative IP graph.
As you can see, Fingers stands out, followed by Gossage, a small gap, then Sutter and Smith, followed by another gap, and then Rivera and Hoffman. Although Smith definitely compiled a lot of saves, it is not really fair to put him in the modern-day closer group.
Next, I looked at the players' WAR cumulatively in their twelve best years. I order the WARs in descending order so that the peak would be first. This is what I found:
As you can see, it was Sutter's peak that appealed to voters as he jumped out to an early lead and then crashed. Gossage tailed off, but remained high with Smith not too far behind. Rivera's graph shows why he will make the Hall while Hoffman lags well behind.
I decided to take a look at a few other players who have already been dismissed from the ballot or will arrive on the ballot shortly. Leaving in Smith and Hoffman, and adding Billy Wagner, Dan Quisenberry, and Doug Jones, their cumulative WAR graphs look like this.
As you can see, Smith comes out as the clear leader, with Jones, Wagner and Hoffman bunched together and Quisenberry trailing behind. You can have a Hall of Fame that includes Trevor Hoffman, but that Hall of Fame needs to include better players like Lee Smith, and equivalents like Doug Jones and Billy Wagner. It seems too inclusive, yet that is the Hall the writers appear to have created.
Much of this debate would have been avoided if the Hall of Fame had never let Bruce Sutter in based on two exceptional years and a small handful of pretty good years. If Sutter does not get in, Gossage probably does not get the momentum he needs, and if Gossage doesn't get in, Smith wouldn't. I am not entirely sure why Fingers made it, but only Fingers and Rivera would make it in along with hybrid players like Eckersley and John Smoltz. I am by no means a small-hall guy, but specialists pitching in at most half of their teams' games for an inning should be truly exceptional to make the Hall of Fame.
*A few interesting facts about Smith. In the first seven ballots Lee Smith has appeared on beginning in 2003, every single player who finished higher than Smith on the ballot is in the Hall of Fame. If Jeff Bagwell and Jack Morris make the Hall, it will be true for Smith's first ten ballots. Smith finished higher than Morris on his first seven ballots. Smith held on the All-time save lead for 13 years, longer than Fingers (12), Reardon (1), and Hoffman (5). One more: Smith was on the wrong end of the platoon advantage for 53.88% of his matchups. Rivera (51.27%), Sutter (49.46%), Hoffman (48.19%), Gossage (45.98%), Fingers (43.8%) all lag behind.

Dr. Jonas Salk gave a lengthy interview to Edward R. Murrow to explain how his polio vaccine would work.
In this clip of that interview - from "See it Now" - Murrow asks Salk:
Who owns the patent?
In an answer that may not be typical, Salk responds:
The people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?
Perhaps like Dr. Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen (1845-1923), who discovered X-Rays but refused to patent his invention, Dr. Salk may have believed that personal gain is secondary to helping mankind.
Dr. Robert Cook-Deegan - Director of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy at Duke University - makes the following observation about Dr. Salk's "patent the sun" comment:
When Jonas Salk asked rhetorically "Would you patent the sun?" during his famous television interview with Edward R. Murrow, he did not mention that the lawyers from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis had looked into patenting the Salk Vaccine and concluded that it could not be patented because of prior art - that it would not be considered a patentable invention by standards of the day.
Cook-Degan goes further, referencing Patenting the Sun, by Jane S. Smith (which is not-yet available for online reading at Google Books):
Salk implied that the decision was a moral one, but Jane Smith, in her history of the Salk Vaccine, Patenting the Sun, notes that whether or not Salk himself believed what he said to Murrow, the idea of patenting the vaccine had been directly analyzed and the decision was made not to apply for a patent mainly because it would not result in one.
Whatever the reason not to patent the Salk vaccine, its usefulness has been profound. Polio has been prevented internationally, as the World Health Organization reports:

No Audio Version
The left, moderate republicans, and most everyone else are freaking out over President Donald Trump's Muslim ban, which is anything but a Muslim ban.
Yesterday, Glenn Beck, on his morning radio program, ran through the facts of what Trump actually signed as an Executive order. Beck added that he (like me) is not a fan of Executive Orders. Executive Orders have the air of a monarchy or autocracy and, in my opinion, upsets the balance of power and undercuts republicanism – our system of government – not the Party.
Beck and his on-air colleague Stu did lament that the speed in which the order went into effect took authorities like the TSA almost by surprise, as these agencies were being informed of the order as Trump was signing it.
However it appears that these agencies did a remarkable job of following the order with little warning – so hats off to them. Never thought I'd say that about the TSA, Customs or any other government department.
Outside JFK, thousands gathered to protest. In the midst of the crowd were several individuals from a group called "UNITE 4 PEOPLE" holding up placards, each with an illuminated letter spelling out "NO BAN." read more

Using "Advanced" output mode
edited April 2017 in MAIN
Using the "advanced" output mode, it is possible adjust for different pixel densities and positions. Unfortunately, most of this is accomplished "by eye" using the mouse. Is there any way to enter/see numeric values for a screen's size?
There also doesn't seem to be a way to add soft blend in advanced mode - is this the case?
Also in advanced mode, is there a way to rotate a display? I have only seem to be able to accomplish this by unchecking "maintain ratio" and moving the corner handles one by one to make the rotation. This is terribly inaccurate.
Hello @michaelvoccola,
You could create such a setup by selecting "advanced layout" for your canvas (see Output popup).
This way, you could manage what each monitor is displaying, so the whole setup looks like a single canvas.
Best. Philippe
I am aware of the advanced layout usage. The issue is that there is no way to ensure accuracy when rotating a display. Much in the way that layers can be rotated, we need to be able to rotate an output while otherwise maintaining its dimensions/aspect.While it is currently possible to sort of hack it by moving handles one-by-one, I don't see a way to do this with any level of precision.
Hello @michaelvoccola,
Ok, I see, you edited you post after I wrote my answers, so they are totally different from the questions now.
Here are my new answers :
# Is there any way to enter/see numeric values for a screen's size ?
As now, there isn't. But you can double-click one of the anchor to edit its value numerically.
# There also doesn't seem to be a way to add soft blend in advanced mode - is this the case ?
Yes this is the case. Soft-edge for advanced-layout is far more complex that simple horizontal or vertical soft-edge. Especially since edges can be shared by more than 2 displays.
We hope to come with a proper solution with V2+ edition of Millumin. Thank you your patience.
# In advanced mode, is there a way to rotate a display ?
No, sorry, but feel free to create an idea on Uservoice. It helps us to keep track of user requests, and see their popularity.
Best. Philippe

By MIKE CORN
ST. FRANCIS -- Results soon will be made public from what was a whirlwind tour through western Kansas as an entourage of Kansas Geological Survey employees measured hundreds of wells tapping into the Ogallala Aquifer.
"They went down," KGS water level manager Brownie Wilson said of Ogallala wells measured by the agency's crew in January. "They weren't as bad as they were in past years."
Some wells, especially those in central Kansas, greatly were helped by big rains in July and August.
It's a daunting task, measuring nearly 1,400 wells, and that's why the Kansas Geological Survey shares the duties with the Division of Water Resources.
But it's the KGS that ventures into far western Kansas in early January, dropping a measuring tape hundreds of feet -- in some cases -- into the ground until it reaches water.
Some of the wells have been measured for years, as far back as 1964, when the U.S. Geological Survey first managed the program. KGS took it over in 1995.
As in previous year, KGS interim director Rex Buchanan was among the crew of eight rushing from place to place to measure the wells.
Buchanan's route included wells a stone's throw from both the Nebraska and Colorado borders.
This year, however, measurements were entered into a smartphone, uploaded to a in-car computer, which then was uploaded to computers at survey headquarters in Lawrence.
They also started using a GPS-based mapping system, following directions on the phones they were using.
The actual measuring, however, hasn't changed much.
Buchanan, for example, first had to find an access hole in the pump housing. He then used blue chalk on the first few feet of the measuring tape, which he then uncoiled down the hole, frequently bumping into obstructions along the way. When the tape quit dropping, he could tell it hit water, and the process was reversed, winding the tape back up.
At a well west of St. Francis, Buchanan measured a decline of less than a foot compared to last year.
"A foot a year is real common in a lot of these wells," he said.
The KGS measures approximately 400 wells in a matter of days. The rest are measured by DWR.
"They do the ones that are close to regional offices," Buchanan said.
Along the way, he didn't see the big declines that were seen in previous years, although some measured sharp drops.
"Two years ago, we saw big declines in southwestern Kansas," he said. "This time around, things felt like they were all over the place.
"It got a little bit unpredictable."
The wells are measured in early January because that's when they're not running.
There still were a few, however, continuing to run, sometimes used to water cattle.
Buchanan said one well north of McDonald was down 2 feet from a year earlier, "because it just shut off."
That's why he and others caution against comparing year-to-year measurements, even though that's frequently the case -- even by the KGS.
Instead, he suggests looking at the data in terms of three- to five-year trends.

Introduction | Part 1: Chronic Pain | Part 2: Depression | Part 3: Ideas
From one thing, know ten thousand things.
— Miyamoto Musashi
I was going to try and write an introductory anecdote for these posts, myself, when I realized that another fantastic blogger had already written one perfectly. Before you continue reading, check out this post by Ferrett Steinmetz.
I think about the only other time I hallucinated, having dropped acid on a very hot summer's night… and I found it disappointing. Yes, my vision was flexing and distorting, and I witnessed all sorts of curious artifacts as my brain's visual processing center went into overload – but I quietly dissected each illusion, breaking it down into its interesting components, and in such a way I reduced what could have been a wild trip down into a series of interesting quirks.
I don't really hallucinate, I don't think. I know what my brain is up to. And today, I realized why:
It's because I'm a depressive. I don't trust my brain.
So when my brain starts providing false visual information, I do the same thing: I question it. I compare it to reality. And if it doesn't make sense, I ignore it.
This post and those that follow it will be a series of anecdotes from my own life illustrating my personal journey from (1) learning to skeptically examine my chronic pain symptoms to (2) applying that same pattern of skeptical thought to my depression symptoms to (3) applying that pattern of skeptical thought to my reactions to ideas and arguments. In telling the story, I'm hoping to outline a generalizable model for thinking skeptically about all of our conscious lived experiences as human beings — a model for how to be skeptical of our brains.
It starts, naturally, with Part 1: Chronic Pain.

Google Analytics Data Skewed Because Of Instant Previews
I personally haven't noticed this yet, but apparently there are some reports out there that say Google Instant Previews are skewing analytics data. In some cases Google Instant does a real-time fetch of the page to generate an instant preview, and this can be inadvertently counted as a visit by some analytics tools, including Google Analytics.
I thought it might be worth providing a run-down of the primary Web analytics platforms are dealing with the issue:
Google Analytics:
Google basically says, "oops!" They apologize for not blocking the Google Instant Preview bot immediately, but from now on, this bot will be blocked by Google Analytics. They also will not be re-analyzing past data to remove the data they forgot to filter out initially. They do pass along a blog post informing Google Analytics users how to segment their data to discover how much the bot truly is affecting your reporting.
Omniture has more information, and more options! Their statistics show that less than 1% of all traffic is coming from the Google Instant Preview bot, so it's really not *that* big of a deal. However, they give a recommendation for discovering how much traffic has been coming from the bot (apparently the browser shows up as Safari 3.1).
If you decide that you don't care about this traffic, then you can do nothing about it and it will continue to slightly increase your traffic totals. However, Omniture is currently offering a free VISTA rule (think of VISTA rules as a commandment that you can set on Report Suites) to completely block this traffic from your data. Of course, this free VISTA rule is only temporary.
Unfortunately, Webtrends hasn't put anything official into the blogosphere about how their product handles this new bot. So I decided to do a bit of my own research:
Webtrends generally breaks Spider data out of all reports except for the Site Design > Browsers and Systems > Spiders report. I checked in on a client's Spiders report and did not see anything Google-related except for the standard googlebot (which is what crawls through sites in order to organically categorize them), but this does not run scripts, so we won't have to worry about it increasing our traffic.
I then checked the Browsers by Version report (since the User-Agent reports the Google Instant bot as Safari 3.1) and did not see this browser listed. Hmm. The only other place I could imagine this data would be segmented is in the Spiders report under "Other Spiders". Since I don't have anything official here, I'll be reaching out to Webtrends for confirmation that this is where the data is. And if it lives elsewhere, how to build a Visit Filter to remove it from our Profiles.
Unica NetInsight / Coremetrics:
Unfortunately neither of these tools have officially commented on the Google Preview bot.
If you have any additional questions on how this affects your reporting, feel free to add them in the comments and I'll do my best to pull together an answer.

One of my weaknesses as a writer is imagining faces. I know, I know. Fiction authors are supposed to have overactive imaginations. I do--just not when it comes to faces. Thankfully, it hasn't been a problem since I began collecting faces. It all started at an auction in a small town in southeast Nebraska. Among the boxes of things I planned to bid on were Victorian whites, redwork pillow covers, a Featherweight sewing machine, and a shoebox filled with old photographs. As I sat on one of the soon-to-be sold couches chatting with another auction goer, the woman revealed that she was a distant relative of "the deceased" and had helped organize the estate auction.
"Now, who on earth is going to want that box of old pictures?" she wondered aloud. "But the auctioneer said to put 'em out, and not a single one of us knew a soul in them, so. . . "

The Honest Company rocks! I (this is Amber) first started using the diapers because of all the cute designs. Hello, photo shoot!
But, I also wanted a diaper that was super durable and earth/baby friendly. You can sign-up for a diaper bundle to get 25 percent off. You can cancel anytime and set when the bundle ships.
In addition, the wipes are amazing. They are super strong and make even the worst BM manageable. I've tried so many different brands of wipes, but I always come back to the Honest wipes. Even my husband won't use anything else.
I also use their baby formula. I had the hardest time breastfeeding with both of my kiddos, so I felt better by giving them organic formula that was comparable in cost to the other brands. You can also add formula to your diaper bundle and save 25 percent. I could go on and on about The Honest Company, but I need to go change a diaper. Seriously, check them out.
Blue Apron is awesome for parents who don't want to plan (yeah, you're busy) but love to cook. Basically, it's a subscription service that sends you all the ingredients for the meal, and you do the rest. You can tell them how many portions, what kind of meals, and when to send it.
Whip up one of their creations, and you'll wow your family with your culinary skills. We have a friend who told us that she feels proud after she cooks a Blue Apron meal.
Stitch Fix is addictive and fun. Instead of having your food delivered, you can have hand-picked clothes just for YOU delivered right to your door. My sister (this is Amber) gave me a gift certificate for Mother's Day, and I've been hooked ever since.

|(looking a bit like a young Nicole Kidman in this picture)
- reversible, as in double the fabric needed ...
and still have enough left over to make a little top and skirt.
And STILL! have enough scraps to make hair clippies (if I ever get around to it), and a skirt for Miss Liza (beloved doll), too, because Miss Liza is a superstar like her namesake and requires a lot of costume changes.
Of course, this requires some careful cutting, but I seem to have a knack for getting every available square inch of usable fabric out of a yard, and ending up with only tiny squiggles and triangles left at the end. ;-)
|She was so excited about her new outfits, she had to dance it out.
Two complete custom outfits (one reversible, so it's really more like three), plus a doll skirt and hair doohickeys, for $18? Woohoo! (I know, I know, value of time and all that, but the feeling of pride is such a bonus in my book, that part certainly evens out.)
I know these outfits are super-summery and fall is coming, but (a) summer here lasts until late October, at least! and (b) I actually finished the skirt and tie top back in early July, but didn't manage to finish the rest until this week, even though they've been cut out and ready to stitch for months.
Oh, well. Sigh. Those shorts are long enough that she may be able to wear them next year, too.

Second Saturday for Market's Feast of Festive FunPublished Tuesday, 05 December 2017
Shoppers are reminded that Clitheroe Market hosts its second feast of festive fun on Saturday.
Over 40 of the finest artisan food and craft-makers in the North West will bring the waft of festive spice and rustle of wrapping paper to the market on Saturday, 9 and 16 December, from 9am to 4pm.
Hundreds of people attended the first market last Saturday and the second market promises to be bigger and better, featuring the famous Grasmere Gingerbread, the Authentic Asian Street Food Stall, multi-award-winning Parkers Preserves and Nikki's Book Folding Frenzy.
Heather Barton, Ribble Valley Borough Council's head of environmental health, said: "We have gone all-out to ensure Clitheroe is the place to be this Christmas and Saturday's market attracted hundreds of shoppers, who experienced some of the best festive food and drink in Lancashire.
"We are inviting shoppers who missed out to join us this Saturday for a unique experience among some of the best food producers, craft-makers and independent shops in the North West."

The E-Detective Data Retention and Management System (DRMS) is commonly used as a backup server for the
E-Detective system. Data captured and reconstructed by the E-Detective system can be backed up automatically
(by schedule - daily, weekly and monthly by FTP upload) to the DRMS for archiving and storing for longer period of duration. The DRMS provides the administrator an easier management GUI to view and search/query the content of backup data. Larger storage space catered for DRMS allows longer data retention periods. Furthermore, an external NAS can also be used to store backup data from E-Detective systems and the DRMS can be used to access the NAS (through mounting) and retrieve all the backup data.
Besides implementation in SME and Enterprise scale networks, DRMS can also be used for Lawful Interception (LI) implementation. In large network interception (such as ISP networks) cases, multiple E-Detective systems are usually used to handle the parsing of huge Internet traffic. The data captured in the E-Detective systems will be huge and easily fill all available internal storage. Therefore, the DRMS can then be used as a data backup system to store much more data with its larger storage and allow the administrator to easily navigate through the GUI and search for the intended data.
Diagram: E-Detective Data Retention & Management System (DRMS) is used in archiving the reconstructed stored in E-Detective System.
This allowed longer period of data archiving and retention for further reference.

THCA Crystalline is our purest and most potent form of cannabis extract and is refined through a long, finite curing process. The consistency is that of a diamond and will test from 90-97% THCA.
Product Description
Sauce is our THCA Crystalline highly saturated with terpenes. So saturated that when you tip your jar of sauce on the side you can see the diamonds and terpenes swish around in your jar. So, you get extremely pure THCA Crystalline and an overload of the strains natural aroma and flavor by adding the large amount of terpenes. These are by far our most potent and flavorful dabs. Expect to get hit in the face with the plants natural aroma when opening the jar and when dabbing.
The clarity of our terpenes is like water, you can see right through them into the clear diamond like THCA Crystalline. Having both clear Terpenes and clear diamonds is a very tough process that takes extreme amount of patience and skill. We do not cut corners and we always take the time to let our sauces develop into the proper concentrate.
A League of Our Own
Paper Planes Extracts is a part of a small group of premium cannabis extractors in the cannabis industry that makes our sauce with clear Terpenes and clear THCA diamonds. The clarity and size of our diamonds is really what separates ours from the competition. Our diamonds clarity is similar to that of an ice cube. This is a true sign of the purity and the time it took for the structure to form.
Best terps and stability in class. Compassionate prices.
Love everything from their nug run to their live risen.

Whenever we get ill we all tend to say we have a bug or a virus, then we often run off to the doctor to try and get some kind of medicine, sound familiar?
If we genuinely do have a bug, then the doctor can help by prescribing some anti-biotics which can then kill off the foreign bacteria in our system, but it also will kill off some of the healthy naturally occurring bacteria too. So in turn we have a short term answer to a long term problem: "Why am I coming down with bugs or viruses?"
When you train you feel your muscles sore for a few days, the pain eases and you go back to the gym to cause more pain, this pain is a sign we presume to tell us;
1. we've trained hard and have broken down muscle tissue
2. the pain has gone so the muscle has recovered
How do we tell when our nervous system and immune system are fully recovered? What are the signs? Are there any signs? This is a hard for any athlete who has goals to accept because the signs only appear when we are starting to develop problems, lethargy, irritability, a weak immune system and increased likelihood of injury.
This article is not going to tell you how many weeks to train for or how long your "programs" should last, its not going to tell you how long you need to take off. What we want to do is give you a greater understanding of viruses and possibly why we get them.
You can't rid your body of them. Period. The wonders of the human body include our immune systems. A virus attacks the body and the immune system starts to fight back, if the immune system can't control it with its normal powers, it creates specific forces to destroy the invaders. Once the body has defeated a virus, that exact same virus won't trouble us again, as long as the immune system stays strong and is running well. Many viruses like influenza have many strains and seem to have the ability to mutate through time, so they manage to pose us problems time and again.
When a Doctor prescribes medication for a virus, it really isn't to help you get over the virus. Usually an antibiotic will be prescribed, and that is for bacterial, not viral infection. The medication is to help prevent a secondary infection, which can creep in and wreak havoc while your immune system is concentrating itself on the virus.
Now, what would make a viral infection return? Well, any time the immune system is weaker than normal, the risk rises. What weakens the ability to function of the immune system? Stress, lack of sleep, illness, overtraining (yes, overtraining!), drug use/abuse, poor nutrition, etc. Any viral infection you had through your life to this point can come back if your immune system can't keep itself strong enough to keep the virus at bay.
This is why AIDS is such a killer: the body can't keep its immune system functioning properly, so re-infections run rampant. Chicken pox, they are finding can recur, but not as the exact same virus. It mutates enough so of one that the immune system's defences don't work well enough to keep it suppressed. It is much worse to have chicken pox when you are an adult than when you are a child. The Chicken Pox mutation is Shingles, a condition which not only makes your skin unbearably itchy but can affect the eyes and in turn eyesight too. If that wasn't enough bad news there can be various strains of each virus, Herpes virus not only causes herpes, but a variation is what causes cold sores. I hope I don't find out firsthand.
The relevance of these facts is we all must train as hard as we can to see the benefits we crave in our chosen field, but we must maintain adequate nutrition and rest enough to let our whole body recover, not just our muscles.

Medal Tests 2011
It is that time of year again, Medal Tests!
This year I did both Gold Ballroom and Gold Latin which proved to be a bit of challenge, mainly in finding time to practice. I'm busy moving, so that has taken up all my free time. I've also learnt something new, Corenza C and Vitathion when mixed will get you through a dance test if you have flu! (it is not advised for more than 1 dose).
Notice the red skirt, it seems to make an appearance at every medal test for the last few years, next time I promise to wear a different colour (my goal is to make another just like it). I'll post the results when I'm done.

BAFTAS host Sue Perkins suffered a backlash after her "sexist" jokes at the TV awards fell flat.
She was blasted for making a string of ill-judged remarks during Sunday's ceremony, which was shown on BBC One.
Taking to the stage at central London's Royal Festival Hall, Sue said: "Typical of course, ten men blowing their own trumpets before a woman even so much as opens her mouth."
The former Great British Bake Off presenter, 48 — one of TV's best-paid stars — went on to address the gender pay gap.
She said: "I don't want to ignore the elephant in the room, but on such a prestigious occasion I feel it would be crass and borderline inappropriate to discuss my fee for tonight.
"So let's just say I'm going to be putting in half the effort. To be honest I haven't even cleaned my teeth."
She also joked about dancer Ashley Banjo, who starred in ITV's The Real Full Monty.
Sue said: "Believe me I never thought there was a God until I saw Ashley Banjo naked. I've brushed past softer dry stone walls."
She also branded TV presenter Piers Morgan "a massive organ".
But the Good Morning Britain host, 53, blasted her gags.
Most Read In TV & Showbiz
He said: "Why is Sue Perkins allowed to make a series of crass, crude sexist jokes about men, when a male host would see his career crucified for doing the same to women?"
Viewers shared his anger. British Olympic athlete Emily Diamond said if a man had made similar jokes there would be "uproar and people losing their jobs".
Another viewer called her "untalented, unfunny, crude, sexist and vulgar".
- TURNS out tonight of course I am having to work alongside a massive organ. Now I know how Susanna Reid feels on Good Morning Britain.
- WHAT a year we have had eh? Another royal baby born. I am not saying there was pressure on Kate to look perfect afterwards but apparently she couldn't hear if it was a boy or a girl over the sound of the hairdryer.
- JODIE Whittaker was the perfect (Doctor Who) choice because if there's one thing this year has taught us, if anyone's got experience fighting off grotesque monsters, it's an actress.
- I TELL you what, so many sequins have gone where the sun doesn't shine I am going to wake up tomorrow thinking I have been vajazzled by pixies.

Another month has flown by and it's time for the big reveal of our Component of the month challenge.
This month we were all treated to a gorgeous fossilised pebble pendant from Lesley Watt of TheaElements.
Aren't they gorgeous? I love Lesley's stoneware designs, they're always wonderfully tactile, beautifully finished, and she has all the best glazes!
This is the one I received to work with…
I raided my stash and found a couple of bronze ammonite components (also made by Lesley) that I'd been hiding, which made my decision for how I wanted the design to look. I think these were earring charms, and having large holes for stringing, I decided to join them with leather thong and wrap them with bronze wire. I'm a little bit obsessed with bronze at the minute, it has such a lovely warm colour and looks great with everything!
I chose some matching beads in Czech glass, Amazonite, and some of my own lamp work, and made long connectors for the lower part of the chain.
And finished the top section with Aged seed beads and a Vintaj clasp.
It ended up as quite a simple design, but I think it leaves the focus nicely on the pendant! I'd like to say a big thank you to Lesley for such a gorgeous component to play with 🙂

You can learn a lot from your competition and you should take advantage of the ease in which you can do so as an Internet marketer. It isn't nearly as easy to know what your competition is up to in the brick and mortar world. All you have to do, however, is visit the websites of your competition to see how they are pricing their products and what is included in their offers. Do they offer free shipping? Discounts on bundled products? Digital and physical products? Digital only? You can spend hours perusing the websites of your competition and you should consider it time well spent.
Finding Your Competition
You can easily find your competition by typing your niche subject into Google and visiting some of the websites that come up. You can literally be a fly on the wall of your competition as you study their marketing and pricing strategies unnoticed. Be sure and read the fine print that accompanies any of their offers so you will completely understand all of the terms and conditions that apply.
What Else is Your Competition up To?
Once you find the websites of your competition, spend some time studying other aspects of their business besides pricing. In fact, study their entire website. What does it have that yours doesn't? Is it attractively laid out and full of quality content? Is it user-friendly and easy to navigate? Does it inspire you to make improvements to your site?
While you should never copy anything from your competition's websites, you can learn a lot by paying attention to what they have to offer. You could have the most successful Internet marketing business and you would still need to keep on top of market trends and cutting edge technology. Remember, if you are unable to provide your customers with what they want, they will have little trouble getting it elsewhere.
Another powerful learning strategy is to check out which advertising strategies your competition is making use of. What kinds of advertising are you seeing in your niche? Are you seeing banner ads? PPC ads? Are you seeing the same Internet marketers posting in forums? Have you joined any of your competition's email opt-in lists?
Read About Your Competition
As you study your competition, you're likely to come across forum posts or blog posts that mention your competition. What are they saying? Are they happy with the products or service or are they complaining? Whether or not they are satisfied customers, this is valuable information because it will also help you to define what makes your customers happy or unhappy. This kind of research can also open the door to holes in the market that you can fill. For example, if you come across several posts that lament the lack of customer support regarding your competition, this lets you know that this is an area where you can excel and fulfill a need in the market.
Bottom line: take advantage of how easy it is for you as an Internet marketer to learn from your competition and then apply what you learn to your own business.

|Christine, Tom and I huddled together for a photo.
I was on a mission to purchase a suitable black skirt. Since I don't own a single dress and recently tossed my raggedy worn black skirt I was determined to find something a little dressy that I could wear on the many formal nights on both upcoming cruises.
|Tom with Christine and Colin, the fabulous friends we met on the last cruise. We were thrilled to see them again.
Prices are high on clothing, shoes and many items in Australia. As I perused a few items I winced over the how expensive everything was priced but remained determined to find what I wanted.
Finally, at the popular Sussan store, I found the perfect skirt but again cringed over the price of AU $89.95 but when converting it to US dollars at $67.70 (tax included), it didn't seem so bad after all. I handed over my credit card and made the purchase.
|As a big slab of bacon oozed out of Colin's burger, he couldn't resist taking a photo.
There was no time to go to a mall. My only hope was to wait until our ship docks at a port of call on the upcoming cruise, maybe in Hawaii on May 9th. In the interim I'll live with what I have on hand, one pair of high wedge sandals I purchased in Hawaii in 2015, the last pair of shoes I'd purchased, (except for one pair of Keds white leather slip-on shoes I seem to wear more often than not).
|Tom and Colin ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Both the people and bird watching entertained us sufficiently for the time to pass quickly and before we knew it, we spotted Christine and Colin searching for us by the entrance to the Wharf.
Hugging affectionately, we were all happy to see one another. We'd said our goodbyes the day the ship disembarked in Sydney on March 13th. At that time we were preoccupied as we were faced with dreadful concerns about our "illegal immigration" status after we'd received a worrisome call from the Australian Department of Immigration while aboard the ship.
|Tom, Christine, and Colin enjoyed their burgers. Christine had ordered a similar burger with Halloumi cheese.
We shared the story of our immigration issues with Christine and Colin who were shocked by our peculiar experience. After all these years of travel, none of us had ever experienced such a scenario and hopefully never will again in the future.
|The grilled Barramundi and vegetables sauteed in olive oil and butter were delicious. A red pepper aka capsicum in Australia was particularly delightful.
|It was a beautiful day in Manly. We arrived at 2 pm and were scheduled to meet Christine and Colin around 3:45 pm.
In no time at all, we were hunkered down on the sofa in time to watch yet another amazing David Attenborough wildlife story. It was impossible to wipe the smiles off our faces over the enjoyable evening of good friends and good food. Watching wildlife in Africa didn't hurt either. Hmmm....
|This swing activity for kids looked fun with an attendant on site who strapped the kids into a harness.
May life also be good for YOU!
Photo from one year ago today, April 21, 2016:
|One year ago, Tom's dinner aboard the ship including tender steak, broccoli, and fried potatoes. In addition, he ordered a starter and a dessert. For more details, please click here.

Easier for the end user
The person in the field can now look at a piece of installed equipment and the app provides them with the ability to confirm that there is a valid certificate for the apparatus on the IECEx online Certificate System.
The app
"The application is a powerful tool that can now be used in the field, onsite, sitting at a desk or in meetings. It provides users with the ability to search the system offline so that products really live up to Ex safety needs," said Chris Agius, Executive Secretary of IECEx.
This free application of the IECEx online Certificate System, for iOS, Android tablets and smart phones, can be found at the Apple App Store and Google Play. It installs a simplified version of the main IECEx online Certificate System covering Certified Ex Equipment and allows the user to synchronize the Ex Mobile App with the IECEx online Certificate System, as required.
The offline mode provides advanced search capability and CoC (Certificates of Conformity) abstracts (simplified details), while the online version gives the full details of CoC.
With the simplified details the user is able to determine that the equipment has been installed in compliance with the relevant International Standards. They can immediately verify the authenticity of a CoC as the IECEx online Ex Equipment Certificate System holds the definitive original certificate. Search criteria include the certificate number; certification body; type of protection for equipment; apparatus; and applicant.
In the future
In the coming months, IECEx will launch a new application for Windows 8 Mobile OS so that all IECEx Certified Ex Equipment System users are supported. IECEx is also planning to add three other IECEx Certification Schemes to make sure that industry can search and find the basic information it needs to ensure product safety.

Genetically modified lizard and alligator invades on year 10 science class. Who will survive?
For all the news and updates of genetic information and natural selection this is a must read!
This post is an evolutional changing experience, taking you from the basic building blocks of life through to inheritance then through to natural selection of monsters vs students? Who will survive?
The monster was last seen in the classroom and reports of finding eggs are still flooding the phone lines with sighting of the monster and monster egg being discovered. Let's hope for the human race all eggs have been found and destroyed.
The monster is still at large and numerous sighing have been reported. Where it can be found no one knows, but one thing is for sure the environment it is in is suitable for the monster.

Invasive Species: Consensus Reports
The division produces 60-70 reports per year. These reports are unique, authoritative expert evaluations. Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review. The experts who volunteer their time participating on study committees are vetted to make sure that the committee has the range of expertise needed to address the task, that they have a balance of perspectives, and to identify and eliminate members with conflicts of interest. All reports undergo a rigorous, independent peer review to assure that the statement of task has been addressed, that conclusions are adequately supported, and that all important issues raised by the reviewers are addressed. Thus, while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy.

Forests are valuable in our daily lives, crucial to our nation's ecomony, and integral to the long-term health of the environment. Yet, forestry research has been critically underfunded, and the data generated under current research programs is not enough to meet the diverse needs of our society. Forestry Research provides a research agenda that should yield the information we need to develop responsible policies for forest use and management. More >>
