The Air Force’s stealthy B-2 bomber is yet another example; the aircraft is receiving a new flight management control processor which increases the performance of the avionics and on-board computer systems by about 1,000-times, Air Force officials said.

The upgrade is a quantum improvement over the legacy system, providing over a thousand times the processor throughput, memory, and network speed, according to senior Air Force leaders. The new processor will help automated navigation programs and expedite the B-2s “fly-by-wire” technology – all of which are designed to enable a pilot to expend energy upon the most pressing combat tasks with less intervention.

The US Air Force is now accelerating a massive AI push to cyber-harden networks, improve weapons systems and transform functions of large combat air platforms such as the B-2, F-15 and F-35, service officials said.

“The Air Force has over 600 projects incorporating a facet of artificial intelligence to address various mission sets,” Capt. Hope Cronin, Air Force spokeswoman, told Warrior Maven.

While AI can of course massively expedite data consolidation, cloud migration and various kinds much-needed cybersecurity functions, it is increasingly being applied more broadly across weapons systems and large platforms.

AI performs a wide range of functions not purely restricted to conventional notions of IT or cyberspace; computer algorithms are increasingly able to almost instantaneously access vast pools of data, compare and organize information and perform automated procedural and analytical functions for human decision-makers in a role of command and control.

When high-volume, redundant tasks are performed through computer automation, humans are freed up to expend energy pursuing a wider range of interpretive or conceptual work.

For the F-35, B-2 and F-15, Rapid data-base access, organizing information and performing high-volume procedural functions are all decided advantages of AI applications. Algorithms, for example, are increasingly able to scan, view and organize targeting, ISR and sensor input such as navigation information, radar warning information, images or video.

The F-35, for instance, uses early iterations of artificial intelligence to help acquire, organize and present information to the pilot on a single screen without much human intervention. Often referred to as easing the cognitive burden upon pilots, the effort is geared toward systematically presenting information from a range of disparate sensors on a single screen. The F-35s widely-discussed sensor fusion, for example, is evidence of this phenomenon, as it involves consolidating targeting, navigation and sensor information for pilots.

An F-35 computer system, Autonomic Logistics Information System, involves early applications of artificial intelligence wherein computers make assessments, go through checklists, organize information and make some decisions by themselves - without needing human intervention.

The computer, called ALIS, makes the aircraft's logistics tail more automated and is able to radio back information about engine healh or other avionics.

A single, secure information environment provides users with up-to-date information on any of these areas using web-enabled applications on a distributed network, a statement from ALIS- builder Lockheed Martin says

ALIS serves as the information infrastructure for the F-35, transmitting aircraft health and maintenance action information to the appropriate users on a globally-distributed network to technicians worldwide, the statement continues.

As a result, F-35 pilots will be able to control a small group of drones flying nearby from the aircraft cockpit in the air, performing sensing, reconnaissance and targeting functions.

At the moment, the flight path, sensor payload and weapons disposal of airborne drones such as Air Force Predators and Reapers are coordinated from ground control stations.

For instance, real-time video feeds from the electro-optical/infrared sensors on board an Air Force Predator, Reaper or Global Hawk drone could go directly into an F-35 cockpit, without needing to go to a ground control station. This could speed up targeting and tactical input from drones on reconnaissance missions in the vicinity of where a fighter pilot might want to attack. In fast-moving combat circumstances involving both air-to-air and air-to-ground threats, increased speed could make a large difference.

The prospect of using advanced algorithms and on-board computers to quickly perform a range of aircraft functions, while enabling human decision makers in a role of command and control, is further explored in a research paper from a London-based think tank called “Chatam House- Royal Institute of International Affairs.”

The 2017 essay, titled “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Warfare,” explains how fighter and bomber pilot “checklists” can be enabled by AI as “cognitive-aiding tools.”

“…pilots rely significantly on procedures to help them manage the complexity of various tasks. For instance, when a fire-light illuminates or another subsystem indicates a problem, pilots are trained to first stabilize the aircraft (a skill) but then turn to the manual to determine the correct procedure (rule following). Such codified procedures are necessary since there are far too many solutions to possible problems to be remembered,” the Chatam House paper writes.

The Air Force’s stealthy B-2 bomber is yet another example; the aircraft is receiving a new flight management control processor which increases the performance of the avionics and on-board computer systems by about 1,000-times, Air Force officials said.

The upgrade is a quantum improvement over the legacy system, providing over a thousand times the processor throughput, memory, and network speed, according to senior Air Force leaders. The new processor will help automated navigation programs and expedite the B-2s “fly-by-wire” technology – all of which are designed to enable a pilot to expend energy upon the most pressing combat tasks with less intervention.

The B-2 Flight Management Control Processor Upgrade, also known as the Extremely High Frequency, Increment 1 processor upgrade, completed the final aircraft install in August 2016, Air Force officials told Warrior Maven last year.

Faster, more capable processors will enable the aircraft’s avionics, radar, sensors and communications technologies to better identify and attack enemy targets. The sensor-to-shooter time will be greatly reduced, allowing the B-2 to launch weapons much more effectively, therefore reducing its exposure to enemy attacks.

Although built in the 1980s, the B-2 is a digital airplane which uses what’s called a “glass cockpit” for flight controls and on-board systems.

The upgrade involves the re-hosting of the flight management control processors, the brains of the airplane, onto much more capable integrated processing units. This results in the laying-in of some new fiber optic cable as opposed to the mix bus cable being used right now – because the B-2’s computers from the 80s are getting maxed out and overloaded with data, Air Force officials told Warrior.

Improved Processing capacity for the B-2 will enable the upcoming integration of digital nuclear weapons, such as the B61-12, service officials explained.

Also, the Air Force F-15 is now being engineered with the fastest jet-computer processor in the world, called the Advanced Display Core Processor, or ADCPII.

“It is capable of processing 87 billion instructions per second of computing throughput, translating into faster and more reliable mission processing capability for an aircrew,” Boeing spokesman Randy Jackson told Warrior last year.

The plasma membrane lactate transporter MCT4, but not MCT1, is up-regulated by hypoxia through a HIF-1alpha-dependent mechanism.
The monocarboxylate transporter MCT4 mediates lactic acid efflux from most tissues that are dependent on glycolysis for their ATP production. Here we demonstrate that expression of MCT4 mRNA and protein was increased >3-fold by a 48-h exposure to 1% O(2), whereas MCT1 expression was not increased. The effect was mimicked by CoCl(2) (50 microm), suggesting transcriptional regulation by hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha). The predicted promoters for human MCT1, MCT2, and MCT4 were cloned into the pGL3 vector and shown to be active (luciferase luminescence) under basal conditions. Only the MCT4 promoter was activated (>2-fold) by hypoxia. No response was found in cells lacking HIF-1alpha. Four potential hypoxia-response elements were identified, but deletion analysis implicated only two in the hypoxia response. These were just upstream from the transcription start site and also found in the mouse MCT4 promoter. Mutation of site 2 totally abolished the hypoxic response, whereas mutation of site 1 only reduced the response. Gel-shift analysis demonstrated that nuclear extracts of hypoxic but not normoxic HeLa cells contained two transcription factors that bound to DNA probes containing these hypoxia-response elements. The major shifted band was abolished by mutation of site 2, and supershift analysis confirmed that HIF-1alpha bound to this site. Binding of the second factor was abolished by mutation of site 1. We conclude that MCT4, like other glycolytic enzymes, is up-regulated by hypoxia through a HIF-1alpha-mediated mechanism. This adaptive response allows the increased lactic acid produced during hypoxia to be rapidly lost from the cell.

No Man's Child

Anoriath: This is a hauntingly beautiful and lyrically sad piece, although I hope there may be some moments of joy before the end. Your characterization is vivid and deft. Your AU is, of course, an all-too-likely one--what would happen if Aragorn's death looked imminent, and he had no heir? My heart bleeds for all the major characters here. Thank you! I will follow your story avidly.

No Man's Child

<i>What a well-wrought scene! The heroine's courage and decency come through in her actions, as does Aragorn's sorrow and conflict. Such a sad story</i>

Thanks for your kind words, Gandalf's Apprentice!

Tolkien seems to idealize romantic love, and while I enjoy that, I also wonder at the other side of life that lurked unexplored in his writing. With the political structure of ME that he built, there had to have been arranged marriages, and I can't imagine that the sacrifice that made them necessary was always easy.

One really tiny quibble. I know natural dyers. They give me madder to grow for them and assure me they will come for the roots in oh, five or ten or, yeah, probably better to wait fifteen years. No dyer would expect to get a good dye of out one summer's growth.

assure me they will come for the roots in oh, five or ten or, yeah, probably better to wait fifteen years.

Wow... didn't know that. Good! Good! I've dabbled in fiber arts just enough to know the jargon and have a tactile-kinesthetic sense of it, but I lack that kind of depth of experience that you're talking about. Thanks for the heads-up. And, certainly, if you see anything else like that that jars, please let me know!

No Man's Child

I find this story most delightful. I have often pondered how things might have turned out had Aragorn made the choice he made in this story, though I never could have made my imaginings such a living picture as you have done here.

The first person narrative suits the story and style perfectly, and the old-style language is like icing on the cake. Not many can make it just the right blend, but you appear to be one of those blessed with genuine skill.

No Man's Child

Brava! I don't manage to comment on every chapter, but I want to let you know that I am avidly reading along and enjoying this immensely. This is one of the best, if not the best, depiction of life for the regular Rangers of the North I have ever read. Your Aragorn is not quite how I envision him, but I can definitely see him as someone who is capable of being a king when the need arises. And your love interest is so very much a complete and real person that she comes alive.

No Man's Child

... I want to let you know that I am avidly reading along and enjoying this immensely. This is one of the best, if not the best, depiction of life for the regular Rangers of the North I have ever read.

Hee! Thanks Gwynnyd!

Your Aragorn is not quite how I envision him, but I can definitely see him as someone who is capable of being a king when the need arises.

Yes, that is rather the danger of fleshing out a character who is so well-loved, but is almost more of a symbol and a myth in the original story. I'm moving him more out of myth and trying to ground him in reality. (eek! You mean he's actually carrying a FUNCTIONAL sword and no longer qualifies as a warrior-monk?? )

I must confess, the more I flesh Aragorn out - put him in situations in which we did not get the chance to see him in LOTR - the more my own view of him changes. I'm glad you're not finding the differences in our visions of him too disconcerting.

And your love interest is so very much a complete and real person that she comes alive.

Good! Thanks! It's been very reassuring to hear things like that. I was terribly worried that I wouldn't be able to create an OFC who could stand up to interacting Aragorn's character and still capture the imagination and empathy of the reader.

No Man's Child

I enjoyed this a lot, even though it is unfinished and likely abandoned by now. (Not that I would mind miraculous updates years later...)

But as the WIP stands I still enjoyed the OFC, and seeing a version of how everyday life might have been against the backdrop of the increasingly dire situation before the ring war. The AU premise was also quite credible, that Aragorn might have bowed to the pressure to continue his line, even though he still loves Arwen.

No Man's Child

What a well-wrought scene! The heroine's courage and decency come through in her actions, as does Aragorn's sorrow and conflict. Such a sad story...I'm wondering how you plan to resolve this heartbreaking situation.

No Man's Child

Your rendering of life in the Angle is carefully wrought and clearly very well researched. Yet again you have described a scene that is on the surface about every day matters--such as would be the concern of a woman like this Dunedain wife--but the emotion underneath is intense. It seems to me that the wife is faling in love with her lord, but she is well aware that the feeling is not returned. Is she going to find out why? And how are you going to resolve this problem? Who will be Queen of Gondor and Arnor?

No Man's Child

Another carefully wrought portrait of life in the Angle, full of meticulous research and amply described through the conversation between the two women. Of course, my attention is riveted on the solution of the wife's central problem--her lord's reluctance.

I think there is a typo toward the end where she refers to "wanders" instead of "wanderers."

No Man's Child

*blink* Funny how the words blur together when you look at them for so long. Ah, found them! There were 2 instances. Thanks for the heads-up, GA.

Another carefully wrought portrait of life in the Angle, full of meticulous research and amply described through the conversation between the two women.

Yeah, it's a pretty tricky line between including enough detail to bring a place and scene to life and overwhelming the reader with an intellectualized account. I try to stay away from too much detail (ala the accounts of hydrodynamics in A Perfect Storm or the differences between a mizenmast and, well, about every other piece of hardware on a fighting vessel in Master and Commander).

But, in this chapter, I wanted to create in the reader an experience of just how overwhelming the task of managing a village that is bursting at the seams would be - and how important it is that Nienelen make allies among the folk of the Angle. No way to accomplish anything on her own.

Of course, my attention is riveted on the solution of the wife's central problem--her lord's reluctance.

LOL! Good! Hopefully the denial of immediate gratification makes you want to turn the page to the next chapter rather than just annoying the heck out of you. ;o)

No Man's Child

Very moving. My heart aches for both of them. Your Aragorn is one of the finest I've read. I have to say, though, that I saw an extension of this scene at another site. You have left out the good part. Why?

Oh, lots of little reasons, none of which amount to much individually but together convinced me to post the excerpt separately.

Partly, my homebase is an archive that maintains a PG-13 cap. Not that we don't write or share harder scenes, we just don't put them in the archive because of having teen members. And then, I also wanted to write a story that a wider range of people could read. I know a few teens whose parents only allow them to read G to PG-13 rated material and have a few adult friends who stick to that level, too.

And, finally, and probably the real reason, it's the only scene like it in the whole story. From a plot POV, it would release the building tension far far too early in the proceedings. I'm relying pretty heavily on just that tension to propel the reader forward in the story.

So, although I joked about rationalizing the reason for writing this chapter more explicitly, in truth, it really was the reason why I wrote it. I felt like I needed to know more about their first encounter to fully grasp the unspoken dynamics of their relationship. Most times I have a pretty good idea what I want from a scene, but I never really know how a scene is going to develop until I sit down and start pecking at the keyboard. Often, I get a bug and the scene takes off somewhere unexpected. Sometimes I know it's just right, and sometimes I know it's just plain wrong. But, I never really know what it's going to be until I get there.

No Man's Child

This story is breaking my heart! It is so thoughtfully written--the quiet restraint is overwhelming. Being the curious, greedy, undisciplined sort that I am, I had to find the "missing" appendix to this chapter that G.A. referred to in an earlier comment. It is as lovely as the rest. But you are right--it is not absolutely necessary to convey what you wish in this chapter. Your portrayal of Aragorn, the Angle and the Rangers (especially Halbarad) is convincing.

No Man's Child

Being the curious, greedy, undisciplined sort that I am, I had to find the "missing" appendix to this chapter

LOL!

Good! I'm glad it's coming across as restrained. My writing sins tend toward melodrama and purple prose. I've been working on balancing my desire for deep feeling and a kind of magical quality to the beauty that can be found around us with a sparer prose... at some times more successfully than others.

No Man's Child

Good move, Aragorn! He said earlier in the story he didn't wish her to act like just another servant, and now he is acting on that, at least as far as the politics of the Angle are concerned. The heart, however, is another matter.....

No Man's Child

LOL! *face-palm* You have no idea how many times I read that passage... and still didn't pick up on that. Funny how our brains work. I hear that professional proof-readers read the material backwards. With good reason, I suppose, but it sounds like rather a tortured experience.

No Man's Child

Gently slips the rhetorical knife in, and then there comes the fatal twist at the end. I wouldn't be Nienelen for the world.

Dwim

No, not a comfortable position at all, but one full of compromises that pit the heart against the head. That tension has so much potential in it to explore human relationships and character development.

I'm so tickled you're reading, particularly as it was this passage:

"I have been asked if there was no one at all that I would get a child on, in or out of marriage."

and

"Gilraen never remarried, nor shall she ever: she loved my father so. And though for long I knew nothing more of Arathorn than that, have you any idea of what that means to a lad? I would be to the mother of my children what my father was to my mother, and I cannot see myself as able to do that if it is a union, or even a marriage, only in order to get heirs."

that bit me about the ankles and made me write No Man's Child. I don't suppose it sounds familiar, does it? :D

No Man's Child

For the first half I was thinking that all the details dragged, but you ended the chapter with such punch that I eschew all criticism.

Well, he doesn't love her, but he treats her very well. Still, so sad, for both of them. And Arwen too. At least one heart is to be broken here. I really can't see you working out a "happy" ending in that way, although there must be a resolution of sorts.

No Man's Child

Hmmm... I'll have to take a look at it, then. Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes I become too enamored with the idea of something (like the politics of a hallmoot) and indulge myself just a little too much.

I've got enough focus on individuals to give it life and energy, I think. But, to balance it out, I'm sure some of the details could be wittled down to tighten the chapter up a bit. Just because meetings of that nature probably had their share of tedium doesn't necessarily mean I need to induce it in the reader. ;D

you ended the chapter with such punch

Thanks, GA!

I wasn't so sure how that idea would be received. I'm introducing something from the real world that Tolkien didn't mention as being a part of Me culture. But, neither did he state it wasn't and I wanted to create some uncertainty. Adding that idea helps increase the range of possible endings and I'm hoping to keep the reader guessing as long as I can.

No Man's Child

This is as close to "domestic bliss" as you've allowed your story to get, so far.

A question: shouldn't Edainion have one of those Ar(a) names? If not, we need a reason why.

And Roheryn--Tolkien says he was called so because he was a gift from Arwen. The nature of Aragorn's relationship with the daughter of Elrond is still an unanswered question for this reader--so are you AU on Roheryn, or is he named that for Nienelen (AKA "lady") or is Aragorn running around with Arwen behind his wife's back? Inquiring minds want to know.

How close to the War of the Ring are we now? I'm interested in how old the kid will be at that time....and whether Arwen is in Rivendell at this point in the story.

You need to adjust the quotemarks on the bedtime story she tells Edainion. Lose the endquote at the end of each paragraph, until the very end.

No Man's Child

A question: shouldn't Edainion have one of those Ar(a) names? If not, we need a reason why.

There is a reason why, but, like many of the questions raised by the story, you'll have to wait for the answer. You'll notice about 3.5 arcs in this story. We've just completed one arc, and this and the last couple chapters are busy setting up the tension of unanswered issues and questions for the next arc.

You need to adjust the quotemarks on the bedtime story she tells Edainion. Lose the endquote at the end of each paragraph, until the very end.

That just seems so, well, odd, to me, but you're exactly right. What a bizarre little bit of grammar funkiness.

And Roheryn--Tolkien says he was called so because he was a gift from Arwen.

*sigh* Yeah, unfortunately I forgot about this until another astute reader brought it to my attention. I've been struggling with what to do about. Actually, I think I'm going to post more about it on my story forum, cuz, if you're willing, I could use some feedback/help on it.

No Man's Child

As always, very impressive. Your ability to create realistic domestic scenes and visualize what Aragorn's life might have been like without the Evenstar as his love is awesome. If I have a complaint, it's that you spend almost too much time sketching out the everyday. A little tension and crisis thrown in a different points would help IMO...and I'm not necessarily talking about their house being attacked by the wraiths either, say Nienelen gives Aragorn a scare by becoming extremely sick and he is forced to examine his feelings for her.

Ah, yes, it's always a challenge to keep up the tension but not let it bleed power from your climax. Thanks for your feedback. I'll definitely keep it in mind.

No Man's Child

No Man's Child

Thanks, Iel_o_Thorongil. It's a bit of a challenge to create a woman who is heroic in her own way, but whose heroism doesn't put her beyond the reach of the credible. I suppose we'll see if I've been successful at achieving a good balance once we reach the end.

No Man's Child

Your story just gets better and better. Neinelen's acceptance of her "unloved" status (at least in the way she wants to be loved--I do believe he cares deeply about her, but that is not at all the same thing) is SO sad. And what is going to happen to Edainion? You've made him so endearing.

Eventually, I suppose, we will find out something about what's been going on in Rivendell all this time.

No Man's Child

You have done a great job of melding the bigger tension with the personal here.

Good! :) I'm glad you 're finding it so.

Can't wait for more....

I'm afraid my posting is going to be a bit more erratic since we've moved through the "inspiration" phase of writing, onto the "perspiration," and now we've gotten to the "heavy sweating" phase of writing.

No Man's Child

A quiet chapter that hints of several new developments. Sigh. I suppose I can't hope for starlting revelations and thrilling action, or at least a visit from Aragorn, in every one, can I?

Ah, well, this seems to be the same I reason I struggled so much with this chapter and thus why it took so long. It's akin to the sophomoritis of middle movie/book in a trilogy. Lots of story arc building... not a whole lot of climatic action.

No Man's Child

Ooof! Exciting chapter! So much is happening. I am extremely curious as to what she hopes to accomplish by riding out to the fires. Those must be orcs firing the granaries/farms, and it would be the best part of discretion to stay behind. Arrgh. cliffhangers!

Put the kettle on? When tea drinkers were viewed as irresponsible as whisky drinkers

Poor women who drank tea were viewed as irresponsible as whisky drinkers in early 19th-century Ireland, new research by Durham University has unearthed.

Critics at the time declared that the practice of tea drinking – viewed as a harmless pastime in most past and present societies – was contributing to the stifling of Ireland’s economic growth, and was clearly presented as reckless and uncontrollable.

Women who drank tea wasted their time and money, it was said, drawing them away from their duty to care for their husbands and home. It was felt this traditionally female responsibility was vital to progressing the national economy.

Pamphlets published in England at the time suggest that the concerns about tea drinking were also felt widely outside Ireland. Some believed it threatened the wholesome diet of British peasants and symbolised damage to the social order and hierarchies.

According to the Durham University paper, published in the academic journal Literature and History today (5 Dec) and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, reformers singled out tea drinking amongst peasant women as a practice which needed to be stamped out to improve the Irish economy and society.

Author Dr Helen O’Connell, Lecturer in English Studies, who analysed pamphlets and literature from that time, said: “Peasant women were condemned for putting their feet up with a cup of tea when they should be getting a hearty evening meal ready for their hard-working husbands.

“The reformers, who were middle to upper-class, were trying to get the peasant women to change their ways, albeit in a somewhat patronising way, for the greater good of the country.

“The reformers made it clear they saw tea-drinking as reckless and uncontrollable.”

Pamphlets the reformers distributed to peasant households lambasted tea drinking as a luxury poor women could not afford and which could even cause addiction, illicit longing and revolutionary sympathies.

It was also said that tea drinking could even be akin to being a member of a secret society, a belief which heightened political anxieties at a time of counter revolution within the Union of Britain and Ireland.

English reformers were equally worried about sugar - tea was always sweetened then - and its connotations with slavery and the controversial plantations of the West Indies.

Dr Helen O’Connell said: “The prospect of poor peasant women squandering already scarce resources on fashionable commodities such as tea was a worry but it also implied that drinking tea could even express a form of revolutionary feminism for these women.

“If that wasn’t enough, there were also supposedly drug-like qualities of tea, an exotic substance from China, which was understood to become addictive over time.

“It is unsurprising that tea consumption would generate considerable anxiety in Ireland in this period.”

One pamphlet in 1811 by reformer and writer, Mary Leadbeater, tells the story of two female friends. Rose warns her friend Nancy that ‘must not every poor man’s wife work in and out of doors, and do all she can to help her husband? And do you think you can afford tea, on thirteen pence a day? Put that out of your head entirely, Nancy; give up the tea for good and all.’

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a battery charging system for charging a vehicle battery pack with an external battery charger.
2. Related Art
A conventional power-supply apparatus for a vehicle, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2007-195336, includes an inverter for driving an air-conditioner compressor and charging a vehicle battery pack via a charging socket, and a connection unit for connecting the inverter to either one of the air-conditioner compressor and the charging socket. In the disclosed power-supply apparatus, only either one of the air-conditioner compressor and the charging socket is allowed to be electrically connected to the inverter, which allows the inverter to be shared to thereby reduce a weight of the power-supply apparatus.
However, even when the vehicle battery pack is being charged, an in-vehicle occupant may wish to drive the air-conditioner compressor. In addition, in the case of a refrigerated vehicle or an insulated vehicle, the air-conditioner compressor may have to be driven to keep a shipment at a cooler temperature even during charging the vehicle battery pack. Hence, the disclosed power-supply apparatus suffers from a disadvantage that an electrical load mounted in the vehicle, such as the air-conditioner compressor, cannot be driven during charging the vehicle battery pack.
Since electrical power accumulated in the vehicle battery pack is consumed by the electrical load when the electrical load is driven during charging the vehicle battery pack, the above disclosed power-supply apparatus suffers from another disadvantage that it takes more time to complete the charging. Further, when the electrical load is driven during charging the vehicle battery pack, a behavior of the electrical load may cause an abnormally large current to flow into the vehicle battery pack, which may reduce the battery life significantly.
In consideration of the foregoing, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a battery charging system for a vehicle that allows a vehicle mounted electrical load to be driven even during charging a vehicle battery pack and is capable of charging the vehicle battery pack properly in a short time.

Since Ramaphosa and Malema unleashed the Socialist Land Expropriation without compensation bomb in South Africa, conservative sectors of the Western world have finally started taking notice of the evil menace that bantu Imperialism presents to Europeans in Africa. However it seems USA has long known that Bantu xenophobia threatens all tribes in Africa. In fact the USA has even been offering Asylum to Somalis in South Africa, who, as we see in regular press reports, have been subjected to xenophobic treatment by South African bantu (negro’s originally hailing from Northern Nigeria) in South Africa.

Net Neutrality Died and Nobody Noticed

If the public truly knew and understood the issues involved in regulating the Internet, specifically the companies that provide Internet access, Net Neutrality would have been a much more important issue. Unfortunately, the public either did not understand or did not care and now, Net Neutrality is all but dead in Europe, and breathing its last breath in the United States.

The Death Blow

On Wednesday, March 5, the House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee voted to approve a joint resolution by a vote of 15 to 8 that effectively dismantles the FCC’s net neutrality rules; it now moves to the House. With the GOP in control of the House, it is likely that the measure will pass. This is further reinforced by the fact that there is little in the news about the issue.

With the Internet increasingly dominating the news, and public popularity controlling that dominance, the fact that there was little reporting on the issue is tied to the fact that those stories that did come out fared poorly in the popularity ratings. People just do not care, or so it seems. That lack of concern will be the primary driving force behind the death of Net Neutrality. Is there really no point to having some level of government regulation over Internet access and how it is handled?

The Non-Issues

One of the first issues that will eventually affect the consumer is that various Internet services providers will choose to block content they perceive as being competitive to their interests or a burden on their networks. In other words, this means that video and downloads will be all but restricted to only those services your ISP wants you to use, and other various issues that favor the ISP.

This has already been an issue in the past with Comcast throttling bit torrent traffic. Without Net Neutrality, however, video services like Netflix and Hulu may find themselves blocked to limit the competition they represent to ISP’s own video services. With most access providers being contract based, especially in the mobile field, this means that people will no longer have a choice regarding what they watch.

How many consumers will pony up for an account on their favorite website, only to find that they will have to shop for a different ISP to use it? Most of the potential problems deal with mobile data access, but they were exempted from most of the regulations originally. Cable and DSL providers are no longer obliged to behave, and they presumably will not with the expected final death of Net Neutrality. They will also no longer have to disclose vital information regarding their services.

What all this means is that the Internet will be the exclusive property of the access providers, and that they will, as a block of companies, control what is available; this is called a “Trust.” This Trust is what the anti-trust law against monopolies is about, and what prompted that law.

Corporate Controlled Information

It is bad enough that Google gets to decide what you can find on the Internet, but when you add to that Internet access providers controlling what you can access, the entire information ecosystem becomes corporate controlled and part of a monopoly. Much of the life of the modern American is on the Internet and this move against Net neutrality is just the first step toward a corporate controlled Internet, and the future steps may be more onerous than this.

Startup companies may never see the light of day because they fail to achieve approval from an access provider. Innovation is stifled by this, and we will increasingly see only what “they,” the Internet access providers, approve of and if they do not approve, you won’t see anything. That is the very definition of censorship, and it is being put into place right now. The argument being used is that nobody is complaining, so it is working, and therefore regulation isn’t needed.

The future of the Internet is looking bleak. Once the first steps are in place, future actions become easier. Suppressing news and information about a subject that is seen a threatening to a major access provider becomes much easier. If ISP A decides to suppress a news service because of its reporting on ISP A’s activities it can and the users will never see the information. If ISP A is a major provider, a large chunk of the Internet population is kept in the dark. The future is getting darker, and no one seems to care or notice.


If you’ve ever laughed at someone and made them feel small for being different to what YOU are like then you can Go fuck yourself

If you’ve ever made someone feel like it’s not okay to be who they really are …straight, gay, bisexual, asexual, trans, then please just realise that you are ruining someone’s one shot at life and happiness because of how small YOUR mind is…and simply Go fuck yourself for that.

If you’ve ever mouthed about my family, know that people that say the most know the least sooooooo Go fuck yourself

If you’ve ever made me feel like I am nothing. I am not worth the shit on the ground, I am not even deserving of life. Then I have some helpful advice for you, sit down, clear your head, and think about what has made you like this? Since when did you think it was okay to make someone feel like they don’t even deserve to be alive? Or want to be alive? What gives you the right to do that? Are you happy doing that? Do you feel powerful having that control? Do you think it’s funny? And if the answer is yes then YOU can Go fuck yourself.

Bullies are everywhere, in your childhood, in your adult life, in work, even in your family sometimes, in your own friendship circle, and just in society as a whole. They get kicks out of making other people feeling like shit because they’re pretty hollow inside and they need something to do. The point is, they’re always going to be horrible people unless they cop on and change, but it’s not your fault they have a problem with you. You just need to keep being a good person and don’t let them make you cold and bitter. For every bully there is a genuine person willing to help you feel better, so listen to them and not the abuse because really..they can all go fuck themselves.
This is personal to me but a message that anyone that take and adapt to their own life. Give those lowlifes the two fingers, and continue on keeping your head up and treat people how you want to be treated!!
Peace !

As some of you may or may not know, I am from Dublin, Ireland. On the 22nd of May 2015 there is going to be a referendum to legalise Gay Marriage. I am 110% all for it. I am a straight 22 year old man, and I am a firm believer of “do whatever makes you happy”. I don’t judge anybody on what makes them happy, and neither should anybody else. People are born the way they are.. white,black,rich,poor, gay, straight, bi, etc there are no choices. To the people that are against gay marriage I think you should put yourselves in their shoes. You have been lucky enough to have the right to get married to the person you love simply because of the way you were born, how would you feel if people were voting against your happiness because you were born a different way?.

The ‘Vote No’ campaign in my opinion is ridiculous. I know that everybody is entitled to their opinion but when their argument is that a child needs both a mother AND father to be brought up right its just offensive and wrong. Many, many people grow up with just one parent. Whether it is the mother OR the father looking after the children there is nothing to say that those children will not grow up to be healthy and happy individuals. Its a very difficult task being a single parent because you must take on both roles and if I were a single parent in this country I would find their argument very hurtful. There is also a ‘fear’ that gay parents will bring up gay children which is completely untrue. The child will be who they are. I am sure the straightest of parents have had the experience of their son or daughter ‘coming out’ and that event has nothing to do with how they were brought up or who their parents are. It’s in their DNA and it cannot be changed.

I firmly believe that if gay parents were to adopt they would be fantastic parents. Unfortunately, many kids are not ‘planned’ by couples and it just sort of happens. When people are adopting they put in so much thought, preparation and planning because it is what they really want to do and in most cases it is the only thing they can do. Because of this I believe that they would love the child on par with any ‘normal’ parent and in some cases, a lot more. To put it bluntly, I was a mistake in my family and I felt/feel like I was never wanted and my parents were not ready to have me and give me what I needed and it’s left me with a lot of issues. My parents were allowed get married and get pregnant when they really shouldn’t have been, and its the same story for a lot of broken families. So the argument that a child needs a mother and father is bullshit. The child needs at least ONE person that loves them and that’s it. If the child is loved which I believe every gay couple will provide then they will be perfectly fine.

Everybody deserves the right to happiness and to be with the person they love, and if they want to create a loving family that should be their right too. Nobody should take that away from anybody.

I hope whoever’s reading this agrees with me and in 4 weeks time we will know if the Irish people made the right decision or not. #VoteYes

# Zoneminder Binding

This binding offers integration to a ZoneMinder Server. It currently only offers to integrate to monitors (eg. cameras in ZoneMinder).
It also only offers access to a limited set of values, as well as an even more limited option to update values in ZoneMinder.
It requires at least ZoneMinder 1.29 with API enabled (option 'OPT_USE_API' in ZoneMinder must be enabled).
The option 'OPT_TRIGGERS' must be anabled to allow openHAB to trip the ForceAlarm in ZoneMinder.

## Supported Things

This binding supports the following thing types

Thing	Thing Type	Discovery	Description

ZoneMinder Server	Bridge	Manual	A ZoneMinder Server. Required version is minimum 1.29

ZoneMinder Monitor	Thing	Automatic	Monitor as defined in ZoneMinder Server

## Getting started /  Discovery

The binding consists of a Bridge (the ZoneMinder Server it self), and a number of Things, which relates to the induvidual monitors in ZoneMinder.
ZoneMinder things can be configured either through the online configuration utility via discovery, or manually through the 'zoneminder.things' configuration file.
The Bridge will not be autodiscovered, this behavior is by design.
That is because the ZoneMinder API can be configured to communicate on custom ports, you can even change the url from the default /zm/ to something userdefined.
That makes it meaningless to scan for a ZoneMinder Server.
The Bridge must therefore be added manually, this can be done from Paper UI.
After adding the Bridge it will go ONLINE, and after a short while and the discovery process for monitors will start.
When a new monitor is discovered it will appear in the Inbox.

### Bridge

| Channel    | Type   | Description                                  |

| force-alarm     | Switch | Parameter indicating if Force Alarm for the the monitor is active                          |
| alarm           | Switch | true if monitor has an active alarm                                                        |

| detailed-status | Text   | Detailed status of monitor (Idle, Pre-alarm, Alarm, Alert, Recording)                      |
| event-cause     | Text   | Empty when there is no active event, else it contains the text with the cause of the event |
| function        | Text   | Text corresponding the value in ZoneMinder: None, Monitor, Modect, Record, Mocord, Nodect  |
| capture-daemon  | Switch | Run state of ZMC Daemon                                                                    |
| analysis-daemon | Switch | Run state of ZMA Daemon                                                                    |

Namaskar. Welcome to AmmaKithaali
Today we will make raw mango pickles
The way we make pickles today does not
spoil the pickle till 3 years.
Here We've 5 kg of raw mangoes for making pickles.
We had soaked up the mango in the water for 2 hours before

We have dabbled mangoes because the whole gum of mango is removed.
Now We take all the mangoes into one pot.
We have taken all the mangoes in this pot.
Now we shall cut all the mangoes
We have taken an iron pliers  for cutting raw mangoes.
we have planted cotton cloth under the iron plier.
We have planted the textiles so that the mango bites do not slip.
Now we cut the mangoes into small pieces.

Now we will cut mangoes into 4 small pieces.
If you want smaller then cut into 8 pieces

You may want to do it in a long shape too.
Mango Pickles eat very good in summer season.
It's the whole mango we've cut.
Here we have taken half a bucket of water
Now we remove all the kernels from the mango and clean it in water.

Now let's remove the mango's kernels
you can remove the spoon or remove it from the knife.

Now we have remove all the kernels from the mangoes.
Now we have clean all the mangoes in water carefully.
Here I have a bucket.
Now we have taken all the raw mangoes in bucket.
Now We have wiped it out from water
Now it'll dry for 1 day in bright sunlight.

So that its completely dry in sunlight
After one day sunlight it is completely dry.
Now We remove kernels's peels form mangoes.

In this way, we have removed all the peels.
we have cleaned our mangoes.
Now let's put this mango into jar.
Now we have put all mangoes into the jar.
Now let's put 2 tbsp salt into jar.
Add salt and mix the mango and proper shake up and down.
And we keep it in the sunlight for 1 day to leave .
So that all the mangoes completely melt and leave water from mangoes.
Now we cover it with this lid and keep it in the sunlight for one day.

Whether you can keep in plastic jar or a glasses container .

or keep it in sugar's pot.
We need so much spices for making pickles.

First of all, we grind the spices in a mixer.
Shaunf (Aniseed)
Cumin
Roasted fenugreek
Roasted Mangrail or kalounji or black seed
Now We have finely powdered spices
Now take this garlic in jar and grinding finely.
We will not take water. we will grind dry.
Now let's put Asafoetida.
We have made a paste of garlic
In this pot, we have removed the finely grind masala.
we also put the garlic.
Now we also make paste of leftover garlic.
We have also made leftover garlic paste to remove it in this pot.

This is our first grind spice and it is a paste of garlic

Now put all these spices in one pot and mix it
First let's put the coriander powder
Now turmeric powder
Two tbsp salt we had put mango and  now 1tbsp of salt pours into these spices

Homemade Red chili powder
Vinegar
Put One Cup jaggery
See it these mangoes left all the water because of salt.
Now we use this salt water to mix these spices
By planting the lid in this manner, we pour salt water.

Now we poured all the salt water.
Now these spices will be mix by hand.
We have well-founded spices with mango water.

Now let's put mustard oil in it
We'll mix it with mustard oil.
We have mixed this spice with oil properly.
Now  We combine all the mangoes into spices and mix well.
This mango has been mixed in the spices.

Now add mustard oil to the box and spread it around.

Now we will put these mangos in this box and keep 20 to 25 days in sunlight.

so that our mangoes completely melt and made good pickled.
And we will shake with the help of spoon in the middle.
We'll run it with a teaspoon so that we get the best in our mango oil spices.

And we'll protect it from water.
if we keep in the water our puckle completely spoil.
And we will keep the sunshine
in the midst of the winter season in rain season
so that our pickles are not spoiled for 3 years
Now we put this pickle in the box
and cover it with the lid and show 20 to 25 days of sunshine continuously.
So that our ethics are not spoil

Role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase in the regulation of vascular tone.
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) belong to the mitogen-activated protein kinases superfamily, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, it is still unclear whether JNK participates in the regulation of vascular tone. We investigated the effect of JNK inhibitors on vascular reactivity in aortic rings in organ bath and on angiotensin (Ang) II-induced pressor responses in vivo in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. In aortic rings from SD rats, KCl, norepinephrine (NE), Ang II, or endothelin 1 (ET)-1 induced a dose-dependent vasoconstriction. Preincubation with the JNK inhibitor SP600125 (20 micromol/L) slightly inhibited KCl-induced vasoconstriction (Emax: -19%) and markedly inhibited vasoconstriction to NE (-42%), Ang II (-54%), and ET-1 (-42%). SP600125 induced a dose-dependent relaxation in the NE-preconstricted aortic rings (-54%) but exerted minimal relaxation in the KCI-preconstriction rings. To exclude the nonspecific effect of SP600125, we performed additional experiments using JNK peptide inhibitor 1, L-stereoisomer (L-JNKI1), a cell-permeable peptide inhibitor specific for JNK. Compared to SP600125, L-JNKI1 (20 micromol/L) had a smaller but still significant inhibitory effect on NE-induced vasoconstriction (-18%) and did not inhibit KCI-induced vasoconstriction. Next, we investigated the effect of L-JNKI1 (5 mg/kg intravenously [IV]) in vivo on Ang II-induced pressor responses in SD rats. Ang II induces a dose-dependent increase in systolic blood pressure and L-JNKI1 slightly attenuated the Ang II-induced pressor response. These results suggest that JNK signaling plays a role in the regulation of vascular tone.

Can We Be Good Without God?

THE fallen individual is not someone other than the exalted individual.
Every human being is fallen and exalted both. This paradox is familiar to
all informed Christians. Yet it is continually forgotten—partly, perhaps,
because it so greatly complicates the task of dealing with evil in the
world, and no doubt partly because we hate to apply it to ourselves;
although glad to recall our exaltation, we are reluctant to remember our
fallenness. It is vital to political understanding, however, to do both.
If the concept of the exalted individual defines the highest value under
God, the concept of the fallen individual defines the situation in which
that value must be sought and defended.

The principle that a human being is sacred yet morally degraded is hard
for common sense to grasp. It is apparent to most of us that some people
are morally degraded. It is ordinarily assumed, however, that other people
are morally upright and that these alone possess dignity. From this point
of view all is simple and logical. The human race is divided roughly
between good people, who possess the infinite worth we attribute to
individuals, and bad people, who do not. The basic problem of life is for
the good people to gain supremacy over, and perhaps eradicate, the bad
people. This view appears in varied forms: in Marxism, where the human
race is divided between a world-redeeming class and a class that is
exploitative and condemned; in some expressions of American nationalism,
where the division—at least, until recently—has been between "the free
world" and demonic communism; in Western films, where virtuous heroes kill
bandits and lawless Indians.

This common model of life's meaning is drastically irreligious, because it
places reliance on good human beings and not on God. It has no room for
the double insight that the evil are not beyond the reach of divine mercy
nor the good beyond the need for it. It is thus antithetical to
Christianity which maintains that human beings are justified by God alone,
and that all are sacred and none are good.

The proposition that none are good does not mean merely that none are
perfect. It means that all are persistently and deeply inclined toward
evil. All are sinful. In a few sin is so effectively suppressed that it
seems to have been destroyed. But this is owing to God's grace, Christian
principles imply, not to human goodness, and those in whom it has happened
testify emphatically that this is so. Saints claim little credit for
themselves.

Nothing in Christian doctrine so offends people today as the stress on
sin. It is morbid and self-destructive, supposedly, to depreciate
ourselves in this way. Yet the Christian view is not implausible. The
twentieth century not to speak of earlier ages (often assumed to be more
barbaric), has displayed human evil in extravagant forms. Wars and
massacres, systematic torture and internment in concentration camps, have
become everyday occurrences in the decades since 1914. Even in the most
civilized societies subtle forms of callousness and cruelty prevail
through capitalist and bureaucratic institutions. Thus our own experience
indicates that we should not casually dismiss the Christian concept of
sin.

According to that concept, the inclination toward evil is primarily an
inclination to exalt ourselves rather than allowing ourselves to be
exalted by God. We exalt ourselves in a variety of ways: for example, by
power, trying to control all the things and people around us; by greed,
accumulating an inequitable portion of the material goods of the world; by
self-righteousness, claiming to be wholly virtuous; and so forth. Self
exaltation is carried out sometimes by individuals, sometimes by groups.
It is often referred to, in all of its various forms, as "pride."


You may have wondered why, outside of my repetitious drumbeat, there has been so little comment on how the Gulf Arabs aren’t spending their money to help their Muslim brethren in need. One reason is because they have better things to spend their money on, such as the American think tanks who provide the press with ideas and quotes. From the New York Times:

Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks

By ERIC LIPTON, BROOKE WILLIAMS and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE SEPT. 6, 2014

… More than a dozen prominent Washington research groups have received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments in recent years while pushing United States government officials to adopt policies that often reflect the donors’ priorities, an investigation by The New York Times has found.

The money is increasingly transforming the once-staid think-tank world into a muscular arm of foreign governments’ lobbying in Washington. And it has set off troubling questions about intellectual freedom: Some scholars say they have been pressured to reach conclusions friendly to the government financing the research.

The think tanks do not disclose the terms of the agreements they have reached with foreign governments. And they have not registered with the United States government as representatives of the donor countries, an omission that appears, in some cases, to be a violation of federal law, according to several legal specialists who examined the agreements at the request of The Times.

As a result, policy makers who rely on think tanks are often unaware of the role of foreign governments in funding the research.

Joseph Sandler, a lawyer and expert on the statute that governs Americans lobbying for foreign governments, said the arrangements between the countries and think tanks “opened a whole new window into an aspect of the influence-buying in Washington that has not previously been exposed.”

“It is particularly egregious because with a law firm or lobbying firm, you expect them to be an advocate,” Mr. Sandler added. “Think tanks have this patina of academic neutrality and objectivity, and that is being compromised.”

The arrangements involve Washington’s most influential think tanks, including the Brookings Institution, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the Atlantic Council. Each is a major recipient of overseas funds, producing policy papers, hosting forums and organizing private briefings for senior United States government officials that typically align with the foreign governments’ agendas.

Most of the money comes from countries in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere in Asia, particularly the oil-producing nations of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Norway, and takes many forms. The United Arab Emirates, a major supporter of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, quietly provided a donation of more than $1 million to help build the center’s gleaming new glass and steel headquarters not far from the White House. Qatar, the small but wealthy Middle East nation, agreed last year to make a $14.8 million, four-year donation to Brookings, which has helped fund a Brookings affiliate in Qatar and a project on United States relations with the Islamic world.

Some scholars say the donations have led to implicit agreements that the research groups would refrain from criticizing the donor governments.

“If a member of Congress is using the Brookings reports, they should be aware — they are not getting the full story,” said Saleem Ali, who served as a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar and who said he had been told during his job interview that he could not take positions critical of the Qatari government in papers. “They may not be getting a false story, but they are not getting the full story.” …

Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — two nations that host large United States military bases and view a continued American military presence as central to their own national security — have been especially aggressive in their giving to think tanks. The two Persian Gulf monarchies are also engaged in a battle with each other to shape Western opinion, with Qatar arguing that Muslim Brotherhood-style political Islam is the Arab world’s best hope for democracy, and the United Arab Emirates seeking to persuade United States policy makers that the Brotherhood is a dangerous threat to the region’s stability. …

The tens of millions in donations from foreign interests come with certain expectations, researchers at the organizations said in interviews. Sometimes the foreign donors move aggressively to stifle views contrary to their own. …

Scholars at other Washington think tanks, who were granted anonymity to detail confidential internal discussions, described similar experiences that had a chilling effect on their research and ability to make public statements that might offend current or future foreign sponsors. At Brookings, for example, a donor with apparent ties to the Turkish government suspended its support after a scholar there made critical statements about the country, sending a message, one scholar there said.

“It is the self-censorship that really affects us over time,” the scholar said. “But the fund-raising environment is very difficult at the moment, and Brookings keeps growing and it has to support itself.”

The sensitivities are especially important when it comes to the Qatari government — the single biggest foreign donor to Brookings.

Brookings executives cited strict internal policies that they said ensure their scholars’ work is “not influenced by the views of our funders,” in Qatar or in Washington. They also pointed to several reports published at the Brookings Doha Center in recent years that, for example, questioned the Qatari government’s efforts to revamp its education system or criticized the role it has played in supporting militants in Syria.

But in 2012, when a revised agreement was signed between Brookings and the Qatari government, the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself praised the agreement on its website, announcing that “the center will assume its role in reflecting the bright image of Qatar in the international media, especially the American ones.” Brookings officials also acknowledged that they have regular meetings with Qatari government officials about the center’s activities and budget, and that the former Qatar prime minister sits on the center’s advisory board.

Mr. Ali, who served as one of the first visiting fellows at the Brookings Doha Center after it opened in 2009, said such a policy, though unwritten, was clear.

“There was a no-go zone when it came to criticizing the Qatari government,” said Mr. Ali, who is now a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia. “It was unsettling for the academics there. But it was the price we had to pay.”

We understand that the grass blades are a welcome sign that the warming goodness of spring is now upon us all, but we also realize that with those blades of grass come weeds. Land Pride parts are all about keeping the turf and farm maintenance at a level that is both doable and maintainable all season long.

Today’s discussion revolves around one of the most misunderstood if not misinformed areas of the entire lawn care season. Of course all those homeowners that live north of the Mason-Dixon Line know exactly what we are referring to.


Q:

SolrJ - Indexing multiple classes and ensuring document uniqueness

I want to use SolrJ for indexing a set of Java classes. Each class instance is determined by its id which is unique within a class. However, by using the Solr @Field annotation for making Solr documents from these classes it turns out that this annotation doesn't guarantee uniqueness of the created documents stored in the Solr index (same id values may belong to multiple classes).
I tried combining the annotation approach with the Solr UUID data type for generating unique id values into a specified field in the solr schema, but with no success.
As a result, I created a simple annotation mechanism not so different from the SolrJ one, which guarantees uniqueness across multiple classes. This is done by combining object class name and its id to get a sort of UUID which is then stored in the Solr schema.
I'm not sure if I'm not missing something, so I would like to know if the working solution described above is good enough for my case or if there are any cleaner/better alternatives.

A:

I think this is a valid approach. We are doing something similar with multiple indexes at our location. For example we have 4 different types of items in our database that we are loading into a common schema in the index and we prefix the database table id with the first two unique letters of the type to ensure that it will be unique.
Also IMO, indexing multiple distinct types in one index is really a preference and not a rule of thumb as indicated in the links below

Single schema versus multiple schemas in solr for different document types

[Impairment of vasoreactivity in brainstem and hemispheral small vessel disease: comparative study].
Cerebrovascular small vessel disease may lead to an impairment of vasoreactivity (VR). Vasoregulatory impairment in internal carotid artery distribution area has been established. In this study the authors sought the answer to the question if VR of vertebrobasilar (VB) territory was impaired in brainstem small vessel diseases and if vasoregulatory impairment differed between the two distribution territories. VR of carotid and VB territory was compared applying different functional tests (ventilation, tilting, acetazolamide) in 25 patients with brainstem lacunar infarcts, 20 patients with periventricular leukoaraiosis and in 35 control subjects. Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of basilar artery (BA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) was monitored with transcranial Doppler (TCD), systemic blood pressure and CO2 partial pressure of expired air were also registered. In the BA territory the VR was significantly smaller in the patient than in the control group (3.1 +/- 4.6 cm/sec/kPa vs. 8.2 +/- 6.2 cm/sec/kPa, p = 0.01) during hypercapnia. In a subgroup of patients with mean baseline CBFV < 25 cm/sec, the VR was significantly smaller and Pl non-significantly higher than in patients with baseline CBFV > 25 cm/s (VRCO2 1.5 +/- 2.0 cm/sec/kPa vs. 6.5 +/- 6.5 cm/sec/kPa, p = 0.007; Pl 1.11 +/- 0.30 vs. 1.0 +/- 0.26, p = 0.4) indicating higher vascular resistance in the former group. Results of tilting tests showed similar but nonsignificant changes while acetazolamide tests revealed no differences between the two groups. In the MCA territory the VR was significantly lower in patients than in the controls during hypercapnia (4.7 +/- 3.7 cm/sec/kPa vs. 18.4 +/- 6.8 cm/sec/kPa, p < 0.001) and showed a nonsignificant tendency to be lower in patients than in controls during hypocapnia (14.6 +/- 13.8 cm/sec/kPa vs. 24.7 +/- 21.2 cm/sec/kPa, p = 0.1). Although CBFV measurements during acetazolamide test tended to support these findings, they showed no significant differences between patients and controls. During head-up tilt the CBFV did not differ significantly between the two groups. The VRCO2 is significantly higher in the MCA than in the BA territory (18.4 CI95 2.98 vs. 10.1 CI95 3.01; p < 0.001). The impairment of VRCO2 was more severe in the MCA territory (VR decreased to 26% of baseline in the MCA and to 34% in the BA territory). The capacity of carotid territory VR exceeds that of VB territory. The impairment of VR is present in both the carotid and VB territories and is more severe in the former region. The most feasible test to reveal this impairment is the hypercapnic test. There is a strong correlation between the extent of vasoregulatory impairment and baseline CBFV in brainstem small vessel diseases.


Communities vs. Crime

January 21, 1997

The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently released statistics showing that serious and violent crime dropped in the first half of last year. What's remarkable is these rates have been dropping steadily for five years - the longest decline in 25 years.

Naturally, just about everyone is encouraged, even those who in the past have been concerned that the declining crime rate was just a blip on the statistical screen and soon would head back up again.

Analysts give a number of reasons for this trend: more police officers on the street; the more aggressive and sophisticated tactics employed by police departments nationwide, particularly in larger cities; implementation of the Brady gun-control law; a relatively small number of teenagers, the age-group widely considered most crime-prone; and a renewed emphasis on fighting drugs. They also point out that no single strategy is the answer to reducing crime.

But what's most encouraging, to us, is one of the factors that is making a difference: communities working together. Anticrime activists in Seattle recently told the Monitor that residents there have become more community-focused, and this in turn has helped the police. Officers visit schools to warn young people about the dangers of guns. They go to the homes of teens who are in trouble and talk with their parents. Last year the number of homicides in Seattle dropped by 40 percent.

In another Monitor article, William Bratton, former police commissioner of Boston and New York, said, "We've found that in partnership we can strengthen our ability to deal with the problems that lead to crime. Police are back big time ... [but] their actions are only part of a continuum."

The article describes how social workers, prosecutors, police, church leaders, and neighborhood groups in Boston and elsewhere have begun to work together, to put their collective resources on the table. Crucial to this process are ordinary people, who want to make a difference and realize they can. They're not helpless to stop crime. There are statistics to prove it.


Alarm Permit Information

In accordance with Larkspur City Ordinance #9.52 and Corte Madera Town Ordinance #5.20, individuals with burglary alarms are required to file an application for an alarm permit. Residents of San Anselmo are urged to provide CMPA with current contact info.

The ordinance sets minimum standards for all alarm systems installed within the Central Marin Police Authority jurisdiction. It also establishes the number of allowable false alarms, as well as fines and suspension procedures for excessive activations. Alarm responses are tabulated within the fee year of July 1 to June 30. The first five (5) false alarms are free of charge to allow you to become accustomed to the use and operation of your system. The sixth (6) through fifteenth (15) alarms will result in a billing of $50.00 per false alarm. After the fifteenth (15) alarm call the city or town may revoke the permit. If your alarm company calls back to cancel a call for service and the officer has not reached the premise, it will not be counted as a call of service.

Please complete the Alarm Permit Application and return a check for the $30.00 fee made payable to the Central Marin Police Authority. When the fee is paid, the permit issued will remain in effect for a period of three years, after which it will be renewed for a $30.00 fee.


Bee visitation rates to trees of Prockia crucis differing in flower number.
Annual flower production ranged over four orders of magnitude among individuals of the tropical tree Prockia crucis (Flacourtiaceae), but the number of visits per flower by bees did not increase with flower number. In a population in Jalisco, México, the trees flower for about one week each year, offering only pollen to the bees (mostly solitary species). In a small group of trees, the number of visits per flower was less on trees with greater flower production but in a large group visitation did not vary between trees. Pollen flow probably was not directed from large to small trees or vice versa, because the number of flowers per tree did not determine the schedule of visits. The ratio of pollinators to pollen thieves decreased rapidly through the day, while individuals of both groups foraged more rapidly. Most bee species were rare, and only a small subset of medium-sized to large bees were effective pollinators. Large and small groups of trees differed in the relationship between individual flower crop and abundance and diversity of both pollinators and thieves.


Suncorp Metway Plaza

SGIO Theatre

Suncorp Plaza is a high-rise building in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Suncorp Plaza, formerly known as the SGIO Building and Theatre, is located on the intersection of Albert and Turbot Streets. The building is opposite the Brisbane Dental Hospital (on the Turbot Street side). Suncorp Plaza is 118 metres (387 ft) tall and consists of 26 floors, dedicated to office space. The primary tenant of the building was Suncorp, until the company moved to the recently completed Brisbane Square building.

The building was designed by architects Conrad & Gargett. Upon its completion in 1971, Suncorp Plaza was Brisbane's tallest building, however, it lost this position in 1973 and was one of tallest building in Brisbane.

Suncorp Plaza features a 10-metre digital clock featuring the Suncorp logo, which is the highest clock in Australia. Prior to the placement of the clock, a rotating restaurant was located on the roof of the building.

It will be demolished sometime in 2018/2019 to make way for a new tower.
