Q:

Strange C++ compile error with valarrays

I have a strange compile error using valarrays in C++.
This is a stripped down version of my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>

using namespace std;

bool test(const int &x,const valarray<int> &a,const valarray<int> &b) {
    return a*x==b;
}

int main() {
    int a1[3]= {1,2,3};
    int b1[3]= {2,4,6};
    valarray<int> a(a1,3);
    valarray<int> b(b1,3);
    int x=2;
    cout<<test(x,a,b);
    return 0;
}

Expected behavior: outputs some variant of true or 1
The compile error (using g++):
main.cpp: In function ‘bool test(const int&, const std::valarray<int>&, const std::valarray<int>&)’:
main.cpp:7:14: error: cannot convert ‘std::_Expr<std::_BinClos<std::__equal_to, std::_Expr, std::_ValArray, std::_BinClos<std::__multiplies, std::_ValArray, std::_Constant, int, int>, int>, bool>’ to ‘bool’ in return
  return a*x==b;
              ^

What does this compile error mean, and how to fix it?

A:

The problem is that comparing valarrays with == does not return a bool, it returns std::valarray<bool>, doing the comparison element-wise.
If you want to compare them for equality, you can call min() on the result, since false < true:
return (a*x==b).min();

A:

What prevented you from reading the documentation? == does not work in this way for valarrays. It compares each element index-wise and returns a new valarray of bools containing each result.
Indeed, the entire purpose of valarrays is to enable quick and easy operations on an ordered set of values without having to resort to writing loops everywhere.


IFPI is clear on their requirements for cyberlockers to operate to their liking. Their number one desire is that they “proactively filter for infringing content” but if they don’t they must “operate an effective and efficient notice and take down system.” Failure to implement either means sites will be required to “shut down”.

Effective means to implement the spirit of the law via details like terminating the accounts of repeat infringers. Efficient means that submitting notices shouldn't be a burdonsome process.


What to Watch: Chargers VS Rams

What to watch: Chargers VS Rams
By Jake Cohn (Varg6)

The Chargers offense has one of, if not the best running back in the league. Ladainian Tomlinson; LT. They also have one of the best tight ends in the league as well; Antonio Gates. Everyone who reads these articles know me, and how I worry, so you know after those two sentences that I am worried about Sunday’s game. I am really worried about our defense. I know we have a few starters back on defense ready for Sunday’s game, but we’re still giving up points to teams that frankly shouldn’t be scoring. Don’t get me wrong, we do have a better defense and all, but something sparked on opening day against Denver, and unfortunately I’ve yet to see that spark again.

Hopefully this bye week really made the defense hungry for the ball, and to get our offense back on the field because honestly, I am not too worried about our offense against the Charger’s defense, with or without the players they’ve lost for this week i.e. Shawne Merriman, Shaun Philips, Igor Olshansky, etc. Like Leonard Little said in one of the articles he was interviewed in, when we lost to Seattle, it was “ridiculous” that we gave up that many points in the 2nd half. With a W or an L last week, I tend to agree that it was ridiculous that we gave up that many points.

We gave up points even without Seattle’s MVP, Shaun Alexander. The Chargers however have all their starters, and they’re just as talented as Seattle’s starters, if not more talented and dangerous. This is the game where I for one need to see that spark once again, and actually for the rest of the season because without it, I think we’re doomed for this season. Our offense is still incredible and all, but we’re not going to be much of anything if our defense doesn’t hold up to what it says it will. Witherspoon has said it himself, they do NOT want to be a defense that makes the offense do everything, and hopefully they’ll hold them to 48 when the offense scores 50. That’s what worries me about this defense; they say they don’t want to be something, when they actually might be the thing they say they don’t want to be.

So all in all, although I’ve pointed out all the negatives, I do think we can win this game, along with the others (Especially when Hasselbeck will be out for when we play them again.) with this hard stretch during the month of November. Whatever happens Sunday, I am of course not going to be here to talk to you guys, and I’ll be trying to figure out the score the whole time at this stupid party, and I’m going to be a nervous wreck! Ahhh, hopefully we just win the next few games, because if we can do that, we can surely get to the post season, which I’d love, although…unfortunately I don’t see it for this year…But we shall see…

Good post. I think the biggest key to the Chargers success will be getting pressure on the QB. Otherwise I don't feel too confident about our secondary covering Holt and Bruce, especially since they have 5 years of experience working and developing chemistry with Bulger. If the Bolts can do this and establish a strong running game as well, I would feel optimistic for a Chargers victory. We haven't had a game yet this season where we truly had a strong, dominant rushing attack- and LT is overdue for a 100+ yard game .

Not sure if any of you guys already knew this or not, but it's something that I just found out about today and I thought it was really cool:

*This will be the FIRST game in NFL HISTORY to feature 3 Wide Receivers that have at least 10,000 or more receiving yards.*

Isaac Bruce-12,666 receiving yards

Keenan McCardell-10,909 receiving yards

Tory Holt-10,013 receiving yards

Pretty awesome stuff huh? Another great NFL accomplishment shall be achieved this Sunday!

That is pretty awesome, and Utter, its a family party, its kind of hard to get out of those my friend! And what I mean about these next few weeks is that, well simply its the hardest part of the schedule in my opinion, and I think if we can win those, we'd have a great shot at going to the post season, and last time I checked every team's goal is to get to the playoffs/superbowl...So hey...let me dream!!! It's my article and I write whatever I want!!! lol

Re: What to Watch: Chargers VS Rams

I am not saying that it is not possible for the Rams to see some post season action Varg...I just think you are dreaming the dream a little early, but that is ok. It is your article and you can write whatever you want.

Have fun at the "family" party and see if you can get a tv in there to check the scores.

lol, it seriously is a family party, its a barmitzvah. My cousin is turning 13, and he's having a party. I wish I wasn't going, but I have to dude.

Re: What to Watch: Chargers VS Rams

Varg, I feel for you. Too bad you couldn't have talked them into it last week during our bye. Luckily, in my family when these situations happen, my dad ALWAYS finds a TV and I tend to sneak off too to watch the game. We tend to give it away tho with our noise, we're not very quiet RAM fans!!!

hahaha, lucky. Well, the thing is, Jewish people can't drive or whatever on Saturday (ehh, I don't know, I'm not religious), can't do...well basically anything. So they couldn't do it Friday for some reason, Saturday, like I said, can't do anything day, and Sunday is the only day...its 1-4, so I can get in the rest of the game if we can get back in time, I have no idea where it is, but with my luck, it'll be like 5 hours away lol.


Democrats in Congress push Obama for Iran sanctions

Congressional Democrats pushed the Obama administration on Tuesday to get behind tough economic sanctions against Iran, and they voiced deep skepticism that direct negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear ambitions will prove fruitful.

Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, top officials from the State and Treasury departments evaded any endorsement of sanctions legislation introduced in Congress. They said that the Obama administration was preparing its own package of tougher sanctions for use if diplomacy failed.

The Obama administration held its first direct talks with Iran in Geneva last week, winning an apparent breakthrough when Iran agreed in principle to send most of its current stock of enriched uranium to Russia for refinement for exclusively peaceful uses.

Ahead of an Oct. 25 date for international inspectors to visit a previously covert uranium enrichment facility near the city of Qom, however, Iranian officials appeared to be backpedaling from last week’s commitments, according to published reports.

Democrats questioned the wisdom of talking with Iran without hard deadlines for certain concessions, and were irked by the lack of administration support for laws that could allow the president to impose tough sanctions.

“You don’t want the Congress to pursue the legislation, but at the same time you don’t give us a time frame,” complained Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

One potential sanction that Congress favors is targeting gasoline sold to oil-rich Iran, which imports about 40 percent of its domestic consumption.

“We have a window of opportunity here … to really raise the price they have to pay for their nuclear ambitions,” Bayh said.

Another potential target is Iran’s central bank, which is accused of helping some of the country’s banks avoid U.S. financial sanctions.

“We should treat them as a commercial bank and block them off” from the global financial system, said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

Sanctions against the central bank could work, said Gary Hufbauer, a leading expert on economic sanctions for the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a policy research group in Washington.

“Central bank sanctions ? essentially denying Iran access to the worldwide payments system through SWIFT, IBAN and other networks ? would cause a great deal of inconvenience to the Tehran government,” Hufbauer said in an interview. He was referring to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication and international bank account numbers.

A McClatchy-Ipsos poll released Tuesday found that 56 percent of Americans favored U.S. economic sanctions or diplomatic action against Iran, while 31 percent didn’t. Sixty-six percent said they thought that Iran was a serious threat to the United States, while 30 percent didn’t. That poll of 1,296 adults, conducted Thursday through Monday, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.72 percentage points.

A poll by the Pew Research Center found that 61 percent of Americans said that Iran must be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons, even if that meant using military force. It also found that 63 percent approved of the U.S. negotiating directly with Iran on its nuclear program, but 64 percent didn’t think those negotiations would persuade Iran to give up the program.

The poll of 1,500 adults, conducted last Wednesday through Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The head of Iran’s nuclear agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, said Tuesday that Iran would install advanced centrifuges that could enrich uranium at a faster rate in the newly revealed facility near Qom, news agencies reported.

A second round of diplomacy, involving the United States, Iran and five other nations, is scheduled for later this month.

For now, the Obama administration is resisting congressionally mandated sanctions.

“We have not asked (Congress) for additional measures,” Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg told the Senate committee, cautioning that the administration is weighing sanctions but hasn’t come to any conclusion. “We are working very hard on this.”

Treasury Undersecretary Stuart Levey, who heads financial intelligence and economic sanctions efforts, told lawmakers that his office has tried to isolate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps globally. That elite security apparatus in Iran is entrenched in many large Iranian businesses, and Iranian news reports say that a company linked to the corps has won a majority stake in the Telecommunication Company of Iran.

“At this point we are trying to confirm it, but at this point it seems to be that way,” Levey said, discussing another potential target for global sanctions.

The Obama administration aims to craft sanctions that hit the Iranian government without squeezing the population, which has braved violence in protesting disputed national elections. Clamping down on gasoline or isolating Iran’s central bank may or may not hurt the government.

“At the same time, it may well be a tool that the regime could use to deflect attention from its own abuses … which is certainly something we don’t want to help the regime to do,” Michael Singh, who was a senior director for Middle Eastern affairs in the Bush administration’s National Security Council, said in an interview. “I don’t think there really is an easy answer.”

Nitrogen and transition-metal codoped titania nanotube arrays for visible-light-sensitive photoelectrochemical water oxidation.
Vertically aligned titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) arrays codoped with nitrogen and 3d transition metals were successfully fabricated using anodization and nitridation processes. The codoping of N and Fe yielded the highest visible-light-induced photoelectrochemical water oxidation due to bandgap narrowing of impurity levels by N and Fe.

On the next page PROCESS_FEE007.PHP the value is not received.

A:

Variables are not parsed by interpreter inside single quotes. You should use double quotes or explicit string concatenation.
In your example the value of $_POST['student_no'] will be string '$student_no', not the value of the $student_no variable.
Besides if you're using method="POST" in your form, you can only get the inputs value through the $_POST array.
<?php
$student_no = $_POST['student_no'];
echo '<form  name="student" action="PROCESS_FEE007.php" method="POST">';
echo '

';
echo '**<input name="student_no" type="hidden" value="'.$student_no.'"  />**';
echo 'Amount: 	'.'<input name="amount" type="text" />
';
echo '
 Remarks: 	'.'<input name="remarks" type="text"  /> 	';
echo '
 ';
echo ''.'<input type="submit" value="Save"/>
';
echo '
';
echo '</form>';
?>

A:

try using $_REQUEST instead of get example $student_no = $_REQUEST['student_no'];


Q:

Read header of .blf CAN file

I have a .blf file containing multiple can bus messages, which I can read using python-can like so
import can
can_log = can.BLFReader("./test.blf")
for msg in can_log:
    print(msg)

According to the python-can docs, the header of a standard .blf file has 144 bytes and contains the start- and ending-timestamp of the whole record itself.
I would like to directly read this start and end timestamp, is this possible?
I know I could also read the timestamp from the first message using msg.timestamp, but it slightly differs from the start timestamp that I would like to extract.

A:

From the source code of python can :
[...]
class BLFReader(object):
"""
Iterator of CAN messages from a Binary Logging File.

Only CAN messages and error frames are supported. Other object types are
silently ignored.
"""

def __init__(self, filename):
    self.fp = open(filename, "rb")
    data = self.fp.read(FILE_HEADER_STRUCT.size)
    header = FILE_HEADER_STRUCT.unpack(data)
    #print(header)
    assert header[0] == b"LOGG", "Unknown file format"
    self.file_size = header[10]
    self.uncompressed_size = header[11]
    self.object_count = header[12]
    self.start_timestamp = systemtime_to_timestamp(header[14:22])
    self.stop_timestamp = systemtime_to_timestamp(header[22:30])
[...]

You can use start_timestamp and stop_timestamp this way :
can_log.start_timestamp

Increased neutrophil mobilization and decreased chemotaxis during cortisol and epinephrine infusions.
Although hormones are putative mediators of neutrophil changes after injury, the effects of trauma-induced levels of plasma cortisol and epinephrine on circulating neutrophils have not been reported in humans. The dynamics of PMN mobilization and chemotaxis were evaluated during 19 infusions of epinephrine or cortisol or a combined infusion of both hormones in ten normal volunteers. Basal levels of epinephrine and cortisol increased during infusions to levels consistent with those reported following severe injury. Circulating neutrophil counts increased in parallel with plasma cortisol levels. Epinephrine mobilized the entire marginated pool of neutrophils, and the neutrophil half-life was extended from a normal of 6.6 hours to 10.4 hours by cortisol. Chemotaxis after six hours of epinephrine infusion was reduced compared with baseline chemotaxis. In four volunteers who had a second infusion of cortisol, chemotaxis was significantly depressed ten days after the infusion compared with baseline. From these data we conclude that stress levels of epinephrine mobilize the marginated pool of granulocytes into the circulating pool in a linear fashion, and cortisol raises the half-life of circulating neutrophils. Reduced neutrophil chemotaxis seen as a consequence of these infusions could account for some of the increased susceptibility to infection that occurs after major trauma.


The lone supporter at Valencia's second-leg home tie against Atalanta in the Champions League round-of-16 has been diagnosed with coronavirus, it has emerged.

The statue, erected to honour Valencia super fan Vicente Navarro Aparicio, was the only supporter to watch his home team after it was decided the Spanish club's match against Italian side Atalanta be played behind closed doors due to fears around the spread of coronavirus.

Navarro's statue sits in seat 164, row 15, the very same seat in which Navarro himself sat at every home game for decades, even after losing his sight at the age of 54, continuing to attend the games with his son and have them described to him.

But sadly, it seems the fears were justified, as reports from Spanish newspaper Marca indicate that Navarro's statue tested positive for the deadly virus that's affecting people across the globe immediately after the Spanish side's 4-3 aggregate loss to the Serie A club and Champions League debutants.

More on this story as it develops.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, RUSSIA—Aviation experts on Sunday began examining the black boxes from the FlyDubai flight that crashed amid high winds at an airport in southern Russia but said the cockpit voice and data recorders were badly damaged.

FlyDubai’s Boeing 737-800 from Dubai nosedived and exploded in a giant fireball before dawn Saturday after trying to land for a second time in strong winds in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. FlyDubai confirmed all 62 people on the plane were killed. Most of the passengers were Russian.

Several planes had trouble landing at the airport at the time of the crash.

Sergei Zaiko, deputy chairman of the Inter-State Aviation Committee, told Russia’s Channel One that experts on Sunday were looking at the data recorders, which were delivered to Moscow earlier in the day. But the committee that investigates plane crashes in much of the former Soviet Union said in a statement they had been badly damaged and it was not immediately clear what, if any, data could be retrieved.

The black boxes were being viewed by experts from Russia, the United Arab Emirates, France and the U.S., since the American-made Boeing plane had French-made engines.

At Rostov-on-Don, hundreds of people flocked Sunday to the airport, the region’s largest, to lay flowers and leave candles and toys in memory of the dead. The city is 950 kilometres south of Moscow near the Ukrainian border.

Closed-circuit TV footage showed the plane going down at a steep angle and exploding. The powerful explosion left a big crater in the runway and pulverized the plane and passengers’ remains.

The airport remained closed Sunday. Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov told reporters that emergency teams had finished combing the area and authorities were waiting for investigators to let repair teams onto runway. He expects the airport to open early Monday.

FlyDubai’s chief executive Ghaith al-Ghaith said on Sunday the plane had enough fuel to maintain its holding pattern, which reportedly went on for two hours. He expressed confidence in Russian authorities and said the carrier intends to resume flights to the airport once it reopens.

He reiterated that the Rostov-on-Don airport was open Saturday despite the high winds and was “good enough to operate” at the time of the accident, and that it was up to Russian authorities to make that determination.

Some of the crash victims were from rebel-held areas in eastern Ukraine where fighting between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian government troops has killed more than 9,100 people in nearly two years. The war has turned the region’s main airport of Donetsk into a wasteland, and many locals have been using the airport in Rostov-on-Don, across the border.

Self-proclaimed rebel authorities in Donetsk said Sunday that two residents had been killed in the crash, while the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reported that a family of three from the rebel-controlled town of Sverdlovsk in Ukraine was among the victims.

Nurse Stations Assist in Study to Track Microbe Spread

As all nurses know, microscopic organisms are everywhere and can move around very easily, especially in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other medical facilities. In fact, they can lurk everywhere, from nurse stations to medical equipment to the patients themselves. These microbes are more than mere nuisances, though. Research suggests that, collectively, the microbiome may affect a wide range of health-related issues, from a person’s weight to his or her susceptibility to diseases.

Recently, researchers found a unique opportunity to study how microbes spread from person to person and ultimately affect a larger community. The study, which took place at the Center for Care and Discovery at the University of Chicago, required nurses to play a key role. Discover how nurse stations assisted in tracking the spread of microbes and learn what the study reveals about bacterial diversity in a communal environment.

What Makes This Microbiome Study Unique

While Popular Science reports that most prior microbiome studies have focused on the types of microbes that individuals host, this University of Chicago study instead centered on a larger community. Organizing such a study often poses substantial challenges. Most environments already host countless microbes, making it difficult to develop a study that effectively tracks the movement of these microscopic organisms. Because the Center for Care and Discovery at the University of Chicago was newly built, however, it effectively offered a blank slate for researchers to study microbes.

To track microbe movement and better understand how these organisms colonize, scientists started the study two months prior to the building’s official opening. During this time, they collected samples from the surfaces, air, and water in the Center for Care and Discovery. Many of the samples came from patient rooms and nurse stations. Once the building opened and both patients and staff members inhabited the building, the study continued for an additional 10 months.

During this 10-month period, nurses played a key role in the study. Scientists took frequent samples from the surfaces of nurse stations and from the skin of staff nurses to assess how bacteria moved through the new hospital and impacted patients.

What This Study Reveals About Microbe Movement

Over the course of 12 months, scientists collected over 10,000 samples from more than 250 patients, nurses, and from the hospital environment itself. After analyzing the samples, the results of the year-long study, which is one of the largest to focus on the microbiome, both confirm what scientists suspected and reveal some illuminating surprises about how microbes operate.

Because hospital staff thoroughly disinfect patient rooms before new patients occupy them, scientists were not surprised to learn that immediately after being sanitized, samples from these rooms mostly revealed bacteria from the nurses on staff. Subsequent sampling revealed more surprising results, though.

Ultimately, scientists found that the bacterial communities on patients’ skin strongly resembled the microbiome of the room. While bacteria tended to move from the rooms’ surfaces to the patients’ skin during the first 24 hours of the patients’ visits, the movement reversed soon after, the Chicago Tribune reports. Through continued sampling, scientists found that microbes soon stopped moving from the environment to the patients. Instead, the patients’ microbiome began to take over the room.

In most cases, scientists found that patients’ microbiomes occupied their rooms for the entirety of their stays at the Center for Care and Discovery. According to Popular Science, receiving antibiotics by intravenous methods did not impact the bacterial makeup of the room. Receiving topical antibiotics, however, did have the potential to reverse microbes’ movement patterns.

As Science reports, the researchers used data from nurse stations and patient rooms to draw additional conclusions. For instance, scientists found high levels of bacteria that cause diphtheria, pneumonia, and other dangerous diseases throughout the surfaces of nurse stations. Patient bedrails also tended to reveal high levels of bacterial contamination even after a standard disinfection session.

However, scientists’ analysis of the samples they collected shows that these bacteria did not cause the infections that about 20 patients developed during their stays. Instead, this study suggests that the patients may have arrived already bearing the infection-causing bacteria, which ran its course during the patients’ stays. This finding could dramatically change the way medical teams think about hospital-acquired infections and how they maintain patient environments.

How This Study Could Impact Scientists’ Approach to the Microbiome

While medical teams will undoubtedly continue to sterilize patient rooms to keep lingering germs at bay, they may begin to focus their efforts away from improving disinfection methods. Instead, as Science suggests, nurses may consider treating patients before they enter the hospital environment. By providing patients with probiotics prior to a hospital stay, nurses may be able to decrease harmful bacteria and reduce the chances of patients developing hospital-acquired infections.

As the Chicago Tribune explains, scientists may also use the results of this study to inform more in-depth research into bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance among hospital patients. Because this study revealed that patients with longer stays left behind more robust strains of bacteria that could more easily infect hosts and better resist treatment, clinical researchers can use this data to explore how hospitals can prevent infections.

In addition, medical teams may be able to use the results from the Hospital Microbiome Project to improve their understanding of how bacteria move through a hospital environment via patients and staff. With additional research, medical teams may even be able to apply this newfound knowledge of the way microbes colonize and move to other environments and applications. Using the Hospital Microbiome Project to map a community’s microbiome could help medical teams prevent the spread of infection and treat patients more effectively.

As microbiome research continues to evolve, nurses may play an increasingly important role in clinical research. If you are working to become an advanced practice nurse, your work will likely take you to the forefront of patient health and wellness.

Previously, many granular products and some liquids have been shipped and stored in large bulk bags, which may contain as much as a ton or more of material. Some of these bulk bags are flexible and when empty can be folded to a generally flat condition. One such flexible bag is disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,596,040.
These flexible bags have generally rectangular ends interconnected by generally rectangular side walls and when filled can be stacked one on top of another. For some applications, preferably the bags are made of a woven fabric and for other applications, a plastic material. For some applications, and particularly for storing liquids, a bag of a water impervious plastic material is received in and reinforced and protected by a bag of a woven fabric. Usually, these bags have a spout in one or both ends for filing and emptying the bags.
While these bags are generally satisfactory for a wide variety of applications, their design and construction is such that there is a substantial amount of flexible material wasted in making these bags. Indeed, to make such a bag having a capacity of about one cubic yard requires something in excess of eight square yards of flexible material of which more than two square yards or 25% is wasted in making the bag.
Relatively small flexible plastic bags having either an open end such as a conventional shopping bag or a neck adjacent one end to facilitate packing soft ice cream and the like, are shown in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 3,119,548. A substantial amount of flexible plastic material is wasted in making the bags disclosed in this patent.


A growing operation: New cheese factory ready for business

Oct 29, 2009By Eric Petermann

Doug Olds can tell you there are two ways to build a business.

As the Chief Operating Officer at Nuestro Queso, a new cheese company opening soon in Kent, Olds explained that the conventional way to grow a business is to “...make a bag of cheese, sell it, and use the profit to expand and make two bags of cheese.”

While America has plenty of success stories that follow that pattern, a more aggressive way to accelerate the growth of a business is to gather all the necessary human and financial resources together and ramp up production, distribution, and marketing, literally in a matter of months. That’s what Olds and a talented crew of business people have undertaken in Kent at a cheese-making facility that has been idle since it was operated by Dan Reed, an area resident who took over the operation after it was closed by Saputo Cheese USA in 1999.

Olds talked Wednesday about what’s happened at the Kent facility during the past few months.

“We’re essentially continuing a story that started about 90 years ago,” Olds said, during a brief break from the around-the-clock effort to ready the plant for production.

Cheese-making at the Kent facility started as Falbos Cheese, which was based in Chicago. It then became Avonmore, which was based in Ireland, and was later purchased by Saputo Cheese USA. Reed then re-built the plant and drew high praise from Olds for setting up the facility for modern cheese production.

“We looked at a lot of buildings and cheese-making facilities, and this was clearly the best of what we looked at,” Olds said. “The way it was designed fits our needs and the structure is well-suited for us to grow.”

Nuestro Queso will begin taking applications for up to 20 positions beginning Monday at the Kent office. The company has already organized distribution centers in Elm Grove, Hackensack, New Jersey, and Sacramento, California. In time, the local company plans to make seven varieties of Hispanic cheeses, several varieties of drinkable yogurt, as well as several cremas products (pourable sour and sweet creams). Unlike other cheese-makers, Olds said the Hispanic cheese market requires a company to be responsible for every step of its process, from manufacturing to packaging, to distribution, and marketing.

“A lot of companies are just making the cheese, or they only distribute it, or, they just do the marketing. That doesn’t work in the Hispanic market. We plan to be a leading manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of our products. We plan to be fully-integrated,” Olds said.

Nuestro Queso began working at the Kent plant in June and has invested in new equipment to prepare for its official start-up next month. Some of that investment includes state-of-the-art packaging equipment that assures all Nuestro Queso cheeses are fresh when they reach the customer.

Olds credited the Northwest Illinois Development Alliance (NIDA), and its director, Cheryl Kneubuehl, for providing invaluable assistance in the opening of the plant.

“NIDA has been a tremendous resource. Cheryl has made numerous introductions to financial institutions, engineers, and other key service providers. She even helped us with our employee relocation efforts and located temporary housing that we have been utilizing,” Olds said.

Nuestro Queso has hired Alberto Plumacher as the Vice President of Production. Plumacher has more than 30 years of experience in the cheese-making business and will direct recipe development as well as production at the Kent plant. He previously worked for a leading East Coast cheese-maker, where he successfully developed a line of Hispanic cheeses.

“We’re very happy to be here in the middle of cheese country,” Olds said. “In fact, another reason we felt confident locating here was the experience of people in this area in making cheese. We believe we will have little problem filling our plant with highly-motivated people with excellent cheese and dairy processing experience.”

Olds said Nuestro Queso has used local contractors and local fabricators in setting up the plant, and will begin full production next week. On Wednesday, the company was in the final stages of testing its equipment and testing its products.

The invention generally relates to systems and methods for color correcting video picture signals and for detecting scene changes during color correction operations. More particularly, the invention pertains to improved systems and methods for increasing the quality and speed of color correction operations by enhancing the ability of color correction equipment to determine when a new scene begins. This patent application describes improvements upon the color correction systems and methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,523 (the "Rainbow" patent); No. 4,223,343 (the "Anamorphic" patent); No. 4,410,908 (the "Luminance" patent); No. 4,679,067; and No. 4,694,329; as well as those disclosed in copending, commonly owned U.S. Pat. Appl. Ser. No. 807,815, entitled "Editing System and Method"; Ser. No. 851,164, entitled "Color Correction System and Method"; Ser. No. 942,901, entitled "Color Correction System and Method"; Ser. No. 943,218, entitled "Color Correction System and Method"; and Ser. No. 943,298, entitled "Color Correction System and Method." The disclosures of these patents and patent applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
There is a continuing need to improve the efficiency, speed, and quality of the color correction of video picture signals, especially in film-to-tape and tape-to-tape transfers, and particularly in scene-by-scene color correction. For instance, there is a need for equipment that more accurately senses new scenes in a motion picture film or a videotape that is being color corrected. Furthermore, there is a need to prevent the physical degradation of motion picture film and videotape caused by scratching due to the back-and-forth movement necessary to find the beginning of a scene. Moreover, there is a need to reduce the time an operator spends hunting for the start of a scene.
An accurate scene-change detector is especially important when a videotape is being color corrected, since the image may change at the video field rate of 60 hertz. By contrast, when a motion picture film is being color corrected, the image may change at the frame rate of 24 hertz. Hence, finding the start of a new scene on a videotape may be very difficult and time-consuming to accomplish manually inasmuch as more images appear during a given period than with a film.
A scene-change detector or analyzer is advantageously used with a color corrector, as indicated in an article entitled "The Pre-Programming of Film-Scanner Controls," by D. J. M. Kitson, A. B. Palmer, R. H. Spencer, J. R. Sanders, and M. Weston, which was published in E.B.U. Review, No. 134, August 1972, on pages 156-162, and an article entitled "Preprogrammed and Automatic Color Correction for Telecine," by D. J. M. Kitson, J. R. Sanders, R. H. Spencer, and D. T. Wright, which was published in the Journal of the SMPTE, Volume 83, August 1974, on pages 633-639. There is a need for improvement of scene-change detectors or analyzers.

There is some debate as to whether 2000 or 2001 was the \'year of the genome\'. In either case, in its one-and-a-half year history *Genome **Biology*** has witnessed the publication of the first plant genome, the first draft of the human genome (twice) and a more than doubling of the number of completed microbial sequences. There has also been a welcome shift away from viewing \'functional genomics\' as another name for microarray data and towards embracing studies of the expression, structure and function of proteins, implementing pathway and network analysis, and harnessing the power of comparative genomics. This journal has aimed to report on and encourage debate about these trends and will continue to do so.

In addition to a varied diet of news, commentary, reviews and analysis, *Genome **Biology*** has also published nearly a hundred original research articles so far, with the vast majority being published after peer review \[<http://genomebiology.com/refres/start.asp>\] and a small number being made available as \'preprints\', without peer review \[<http://genomebiology.com/preprint/start.asp>\]. All research articles have been made freely available to all readers over the web immediately on publication, and peer-reviewed research has been deposited in PubMed Central, in keeping with the policies of free access to original research subscribed to by this journal and our publisher BioMed Central. In this regard, *Genome **Biology*** is one of the few journals to meet in full the demands made by the nearly 29,000 signatories of the Public Library of Science Open Letter (see <http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org/>): \"\[to provide\] unrestricted free distribution rights to any and all original research reports \... through PubMed Central and similar online public resources, within 6 months of their initial publication date\".

As debate has raged over the past year on the importance and merits of providing immediate world-wide, barrier-free open access to the full text of research articles (see, for example, <http://www.nature.com/nature/debates/e-access/>), BioMed Central has become persuaded that the most sustainable and fair method for ensuring that the costs of peer-review and publication are met while allowing full and unfettered access to research articles is to levy a relatively small article-processing charge on the authors of each published article (provided that they can afford to pay). From 2002, therefore, journals published by BioMed Central will implement a charge of US \$500 for each original research manuscript that is accepted for publication. Charges will be waived for authors who are genuinely unable to pay - for example, authors from lower- and lower-middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank \[<http://www.worldbank.org/>\]. If free access to articles is in this way ensured \'up front\', we estimate that the true cost to the scientific community per published article will be about one-tenth of the current cost under a traditional journal subscription-based model, and we are therefore encouraging institutions to subscribe to this model (see <http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/instmembership.asp>). *Genome **Biology*** will not begin to levy article-processing charges until later in 2002, but we are taking this opportunity to alert readers and potential authors to our plans.

Other plans for 2002 include improvements to our online technologies to expedite manuscript submission and peer review, as well as ongoing development of our facilities for identifying, commenting on and archiving articles of interest to each reader on a personalized basis. We also hope to continue to develop facilities for publishing software and algorithms (see <http://genomebiology.com/software/start.asp>), as well as building on our strengths in reviews and commentaries. The precise form these will take depends on work in the scientific community. We look forward to both the long-promised additional mammalian, plant, fungal and microbial genome sequences and the less foreseeable surprises in technology and its applications that will occupy us in 2002. As ever, we depend on your support and input to ensure the journal meets your needs.
