|A stamped PEDOT:PSS-silicon nanowire hybrid solar cell.

|A novel stamped hybrid solar cell was proposed using the stamping transfer technique by stamping an active PEDOT:PSS thin layer onto the top of silicon nanowires (SiNWs). Compared to a bulk-type counterpart that fully embeds SiNWs inside PEDOT:PSS, an increase in the photovoltaic efficiency was observed by a factor of ∼4.6, along with improvements in both electrical and optical responses for the stamped hybrid cell. Such improvements for hybrid cells was due to the formation of well-connected and linearly aligned active PEDOT:PSS channels at the top ends of the nanowires after the stamping process. These stamped channels facilitated not only to improve the charge transport, light absorption, but also to decrease the free carriers as well as exciton recombination losses for stamped hybrid solar cells.

Independent Senator for Tasmania Jacqui Lambie, has revealed that Rob Waterman will be a Tasmanian Senate Candidate for the JLN.
"Rob is already doing a great job serving the people of our state as the CEO of Rural Health Tasmania. He has a passion to help people recover from and find solutions to family violence, drug addiction, alcoholism, homelessness and mental illness.
He understands what some of the main issues and challenges that ordinary Tasmanians are facing – and importantly Rob knows how crucial and cost effective it is, to put in place early intervention programs and solutions." said Senator Lambie.
"Rob Waterman agrees with, and strongly supports JLN's policy to introduce national laws, which give parents the right to involuntarily or non-consensually detox their children, should they become addicted to drugs like Ice.
Rob makes the very important point that 30 to 60% of Methamphetamine users end up non–consensually in jail, without the right to proper medical treatment. So isn't it better to intervene early when our children still have a chance at life and they don't have to go to jail – and then they still have a chance to get their lives on track?" said Senator Lambie.
"Rob's commonsense, life experience and compassion for those less well-off and doing it tough – will be a welcome addition to the JLN. We'll look to Rob for valuable policy input for a range of preventative health programs. What Rob Waterman says is true. For every dollar we invest in preventative initiatives the government will save $7 down the track." said Senator Lambie.

Sorry to bother you but I stumbled across your journal and saw that you had a permanent account. How does one go about getting one?
Sadly, it's probably not going to be possible anymore. LJ used to offer them every so often at 100$ a pop, when they were in the middle of a big upgrade project and needed to raise funds quickly. I think they said around the time they joined financially with the Six Apart folks that it was very unlikely they'd ever offer the opportunity to buy a permanent account again.
(Which is unfortunate for me too; there's a couple RP accounts that I would willingly scrape up the cash for in order to have the extra flexibility with icons.)

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website] ruled 6-3 [opinion, PDF] Wednesday in Setser v. United States [SCOTUSblog backgrounder] on whether a federal district court, in sentencing a defendant for a federal offense, has authority to order that the federal sentence be consecutive to an anticipated state sentence that has not yet been imposed. Petitioner Setser was indicted in a Texas court on drug charges, and the state moved to revoke the probation term that he was then serving for another drug offense. At about the same time Setser pleaded guilty to federal drug charges, and the federal district court imposed a 151-month sentence to run consecutively to any state sentence imposed for the probation violation, but concurrently with any state sentence imposed on the new drug charge. The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (SRA) [18 USC § 3584] addresses only "multiple terms of imprisonment … imposed … at the same time" whereas Setser's state sentence was not imposed at the same time as the federal sentence, which both parties argued means that the federal Bureau of Prisons should have decided the issue. In an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court held:
The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 addresses the concurrent-vs.-consecutive decision, but not the situation here. … This does not mean, as Setser and the Government claim, that the District Court lacked authority to act as it did. … [I]t is more natural to read §3584(a) as leaving room for the exercise of judicial discretion in situations not covered than it is to read §3621(b) as giving the Bureau [of Prisons] what amounts to sentencing authority.
The judgment reversed a decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which had held [opinion, PDF] that the district court had authority to order a sentence consecutive to an anticipated state sentence, and that Setser's sentence was reasonable, even if the state court's decision made it unclear exactly how to administer it. Justice Stephen Breyer filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy.
The court heard arguments [JURIST report] in the case in December. Interestingly, the government had conceded the issue and argued on behalf of petitioner that the federal judge exceeded his authority by making the consecutive/concurrent decision in the absence of a state sentence. Rather, that decision would lie with the federal Bureau of Prisons, which would consider several factors including a recommendation from the sentencing judge. Appointed counsel arguing in support of the Fifth Circuit opinion argued that § 3584, which instructs when sentences ought or ought not be consecutive or concurrent, did not address the situation at bar, and therefore the federal judiciary retained its inherent power to sentence, including discretion to make the sentence run concurrently or not.

Plastic bags are starting to be recognized as a major waste of plastic - you get one free with every purchase whether you ask for one or not, and you often see them floating down the street or filling up the cupboard under the sink. Although there are many ways of reusing them, as the link above can show you, this one is a creative way of using lots of bags with a fun and long-lasting result.
1Take around 40 plastic bags that are clean and 'not' made of degradable plastic. Degradable bags are often marked proudly as such, and will disintegrate after a few months. Cut the seam off the bottom of a bag and remove the handles. Flatten out your bag and cut it in a long spiral from top to bottom, into one long strip 3cm (1in) wide. See this article for more information on preparing the bag prior to knitting.
2Cast on as many stitches as you want with needles around size 3-4mm, until your work is as wide as you want your bag to be.
3Knit until your work is twice as long as you want your bag to be. If you get to the end of a piece of "yarn", tie the end to the end of another piece and continue to knit. (Alternatively, you can knit with two strands for a few inches and then drop the old "yarn" and continue with the new.)
5Cast on again, creating enough stitches to knit a narrow strap for your bag. Knit until the strap is long enough to be attached to the bag at both ends with about 8 centimeter (3.1 in) of overlap. Bear in mind that your straps will stretch a little when you have heavier things in the bag.
6Make two of these straps, and sew one to each side of the top inside of your bag with about 8 centimeter (3.1 in) of overlap at each end. Alternatively, there are patterns online for making a bag with fancier handles that are more challenging to knit.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I join straight plastic strips for knitting so there won't be knots?Community AnswerYou flatten the bag and cut the bag into strips along the width from bottom to handles. Then you loop one loop through another loop and pull.
QuestionHow do I sew handles on?MicheleTop AnswererUse a tapestry needle and sew the straps on with more of the plastic yarn you used for the bag itself.

- Strips of plastic can be hard work to knit with, especially if you naturally make tight stitches. They don't slide very easily over steel needles - try wooden or bamboo needles.
- You can cut your bags thinner to make more yarn, but if you do, your bag won't be nearly as sturdy.Thanks!
- This pattern is also good for using up broken bags.
- Don't give up if you're having trouble knitting with the plastic. It's a bit of an odd material to work with at first, and it slides differently than yarn. Experiment with different needle materials. Sometimes the best needles for this are made from recycled wooden materials.
- Be creative and add pockets, or use an interesting pattern. You don't need to stick with stripes, either. Try diamonds or waves!
- If you want to have a seamless bag, consider knitting it in the round.
- Plastic bags have amazing tensile strength, and the knit stitch makes it stronger and a bit stretchy in all directions. You will be able to carry some bulky, heavy stuff in it if you need to.
- It is a little bit harder to knit with plastic, as it doesn't slide over the needles as smoothly - if only they'd invented thimbles for knitting with.Thanks!
Things You'll Need
- Knitting needles, 3-4mm
- Plastic bags, about 40

Being a teacher has to be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding jobs. You'd assume the most irritating things teachers have to deal with would be the kids in their classes. Whether it be children who just refuse to cooperate and insist on mouthing off or just completely disobey everything you say. However, it turns out the biggest headaches teachers have to deal with are not the kids, but their parents! Here are 16 parents who would be every teacher's worst nightmare.
Talk about taking things a little too far.
Parent and child had a complaint about grading on a minor assignment. Parent emailed me, the principal, Board of Education, and Barack Obama. No reply from anyone, except the principal. – Dkl415
Talk about living out your dreams through your child.
For a while I worked as a horseback riding instructor teaching beginning lessons. Our students were usually aged 6-10. While the nervous parents could be annoying (but understandable), the worst were the parents that were reliving old riding careers through their children.
One woman rode competitively when she was growing up and insisted that her seven year old son rode as well. He didn't enjoy riding much and whispered to me that he would rather play baseball. He was also incredibly allergic to horses – his eyes would swell up, his nose would run, and he was miserable. After a few lessons and realizing the problem, we told the woman that we weren't willing to make her child so uncomfortable. – Honeynut11

UCLA's Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellows are exceptionally trained in the clinical skills that are essential for prenatal diagnosis and for the care of higher risk obstetric patients and in research related to maternal-fetal medicine.
The clinical training, which is concentrated in the first 18 months of the program, involves learning fetal diagnostic techniques (e.g., ultrasound, echocardiography, amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling) and experience in managing gravidas with complex medical disorders and obstetrical complications. In the last 6 months of clinical training, the fellow can select from a variety of clinical rotations that meet their particular interest.
The subsequent 18 months of research involves mentored research training. Fellows are encouraged to pursue the Specialized Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program. The UCLA STAR program provides the opportunity to be trained in basic science (Ph.D. track), health service/outcomes (Ph.D. track), and clinical research (M.S. track).
In accordance with ACGME, our fellowship accommodates the requirements of various research training programs by minimizing the clinical activities to no more than 10% of the fellow's time in the second half (18 months) of training. The training program is designed to provide the experience that is critical to the development of a successful academic career in maternal-fetal medicine.
Educational funds have been set aside for each fellow to pursue academic and research interests. In addition, as part of the fellowship, you will be encouraged and covered to attend the following conferences and courses:
To complete your application, our program requires two letters of recommendation; one from your present chief of service and the other from someone who knows you well and can assess your clinical abilities and potential for a career in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. Please send your letters with your application to ERAS by 8:00AM PST on May 31, 2019.
All complete applications will be reviewed with the top applicants being selected for interviews. Interviews are mandatory for candidates under serious consideration for fellowship positions as they allow the candidate to gain the true flavor and character of the program, as well as giving the program an excellent opportunity for assessing the potential of each candidate. You will be notified by e-mail in June 2019, if you have been chosen for an interview. We will be holding interviews on Saturday, August 10, 2019.
In addition, please remember that it is essential that postdoctoral fellows, who will be involved in clinical work, obtain a California Medicine License once accepted to the program.

The 84-year-old Tshisekedi was the face of the Congolese opposition for decades, known for challenging the country's political powers as far back as the reign of President Mobutu Sese Seko, when the country was known as Zaire. Tshisekedi's death comes at a crucial time for the Congo, which postponed national elections last year. Though the Roman Catholic Church helped to broker a deal to reschedule the presidential race and ease Kabila from office, the agreement has since gotten hung up on disagreements over power-sharing arrangements between the government and the opposition. Tshisekedi's death could make it tougher for the parties to find a compromise.
The current president, who has been in office since his father, Laurent Kabila, was assassinated in 2001, finished his second term in 2016. But rather than relinquishing his post, as the Congolese Constitution requires, Kabila opted to delay the next presidential election using the pretext of voter registration issues and a lack of funding for the vote. The country's constitutional court ruled that the president could stay in office until his successor was elected. Since then, however, the ruling party and the opposition have been unable to reach an understanding.
Tshisekedi's death has only added to this air of uncertainty, raising questions as to who will assume the mantle of his Union for Democracy and Social Progress. One possible successor, his son Felix, is a rising star within the party but does not have the full support of its members. Given his family connections (his mother is also an influential party figure), some of the party's strongest supporters are loath to back what might appear to be a dynastic succession. To make matters worse, Felix is a young and mostly untested figure in Congolese politics. His failure to inspire party unity during the succession process could lead to splits that would weaken one of the more cohesive parties in the Rassemblement — the umbrella term for the country's political opposition. The loss of its leadership could create further division among the various opposition groups. After all, even before Tshisekedi's death, they could not agree on whether to engage with Kabila's government.
Another potential (if unlikely) candidate is Moise Katumbi, a wealthy former provincial governor who had been gathering support for a presidential run before the 2016 election was put on hold. But an outstanding arrest warrant against him says that he hired mercenaries in a bid to challenge the government. Katumbi left the country in May 2016, purportedly to seek medical treatment abroad, and he has not come back since. Should he resolve his legal issues and re-enter the country in the runup to elections, when they are rescheduled, Katumbi would certainly be a credible successor to Tshisekedi. But his return is far from certain.
According to the opposition's Dec. 31 agreement with the government in Kinshasa, elections will be held before the end of 2017, at which point Kabila will step down. The deal also called for the president's pledge not to change the constitution before he leaves office or to seek a third term. Moreover, it stipulated that a council would be created to oversee the transition process (before his death, Tshisekedi had been selected to lead it) and that the Independent National Electoral Commission would be reformed.
Although parts of the agreement are in place, its full implementation has stalled over disputes about how the ruling party and the opposition will divvy up government posts. The Roman Catholic Church warned in mid-January that the transition plan, which was not personally signed by Kabila but agreed to by his Alliance of the Presidential Majority, could still fall apart. Even though the coalition's approval is most likely an indication that Kabila's political allies are ready to act without him, the fact that the president did not sign the deal gives him some room to act, should the political winds shift and present him with an opportunity to stay in office.
Nevertheless, Kabila's hand is fundamentally weak. During his 16 years of rule, Kabila consolidated power by pitting members of his alliance against one another — a strategy that worked particularly well for him while in office but that has put him in a difficult position today. His tactics weakened his allies, leaving no clear successor to follow in his footsteps and offer protection to him and his family (as well as to their significant business interests throughout the country).
Over the past month, a growing number of reports have said Kabila's allies have floated the idea of holding a vote on a referendum to remove presidential term limits. But since the party behind him is less than unified, pursuing a plebiscite would be a politically risky move for the president that would doubtless strengthen and unite the political opposition against him. Even if Kabila could somehow engineer a way to stay in office beyond his term extension, doing so would ignite public anger and open the president to threats to his personal safety.
Kabila's current political weakness is the fruit of the divide-and-conquer strategy he employed so successfully throughout his time in office. Yet it is also why Tshisekedi's death — though a notable passing of a giant in Congolese politics — will not do much to alter the country's political course. Because either way, the president needs to balance his fragmented alliance in the months ahead while finding a suitable replacement who will safeguard his interests as the country prepares for the next stage of its difficult political evolution.

Children can spend years in rehabilitation, depending on their illness or injury. So it comes as no surprise that they often form close bonds with their caregivers and therapists as they overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
Jordan's 18-month Myelo Clinic appointment goes well
Jordan's 18 month Myelo Clinic day at Akron Children's Hospital arrived with what seems like the same anxiety and excitement as we've had in the past.

They[Different commodities] move in general in the similar direction but maybe at different times. Now, say if the price of corn goes up substantially, the farmers can right away increase the production of corn and a year later the additional supplies will then essentially contain further price increase and the price will go down.
In the case of the oil industry and also for copper, once you have shortages developing, until new large reserves come on stream and until new mines essentially produce, the response time is very long and we have essentially in the world, coming from emerging economies – those would be China and India – very rapidly rising oil demands.
In China over the last fifteen years, oil imports, they have risen three times. China consumes now almost ten million barrels of oil a day. So the demand is there, if they slow down somewhat, long-term it's there. Every oil well eventually runs dry. It cannot produce forever. New oil is very costly to produce. In other words you have to go and drill and you have to then extract the oil and there's a lot of safety regulations and very costly, probably around eighty Dollars a barrel.

Overdyed Rugs
Turkey is the home of old hand-knotted rugs and that's where over-dyed rugs first appeared with brightly dyed antique Turkish and Persian rugs. Harnessing the natural energy of the sun, each rug is organically neutralized from its original color and then overdyed and washed in remarkable chromatic hues to produce a revolutionary work of art. Inconsistencies are part of the inherent nature of this product and make each piece unique.
Please contact us if you if you cannot find your desired sizes. We can search our offline inventory for over-dye rugs to match your color choice or make a custom over-dyed rug for you.

Associates an existing alias with a different customer master key (CMK). Each CMK can have multiple aliases, but the aliases must be unique within the account and region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.
This operation works only on existing aliases. To change the alias of a CMK to a new value, use CreateAlias to create a new alias and DeleteAlias to delete the old alias.
Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can create, update, and delete the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases of all CMKs in the account, use the ListAliases operation.
The alias name must begin with
alias/ followed by a
name, such as
alias/ExampleAlias. It can contain only alphanumeric characters,
forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). The alias name cannot begin
alias/aws/. The
alias/aws/ prefix is reserved for AWS managed CMKs.
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Request Syntax
{ "AliasName": "
string", "TargetKeyId": "
string" }
Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

Atheros Communication's shares are up more than 170 percent for the year, outperforming the semiconductor index. The chip maker beat the Street in fourth quarter earnings and its revenue is up 89 percent from the year prior, reaching a new record.
Craig Berger, senior semiconductor analyst at FBR Capital Markets, shared his outlook for the company.
"The easy money has been made in it, but this is still a very good executing company, it's relatively small and they're attacking some pretty large and growthy markets," Berger told CNBC.
"So there is a lot of opportunities, depending on whether the company can continue to take market share in key markets."
Berger has a $39 price target on the firm and a "market perform" rating.
Although Atheros is smaller relative to its competitors, Berger said the possibility of a buyout is slim.
"A buyout is less likely because that is a hypercompetitive market," he explained. "There are still 5 or 6 players, and it's a very fast moving market—they'd have to pay a pretty hefty premium to take them out."

Royale Limo
A Social Media Management Case Study
Early March 2017 Start
Royale Limousine (Haverill, MA // Part of Cabot Coach Builders) was a well-established business - crafters of luxurious limousines & coaches from Lincoln, Cadillac, and Mercedes-Benz - that had some difficulty in establishing themselves online, especially as it pertained to the social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Their staff found it tough to balance the management of the various social accounts all while keeping their day-to-day business tasks at the forefront.
Loud Canvas Media was brought on to not only manage the accounts -- acting as an extension of Royale themselves -- but to drive attention to their vehicles, to grow their audience and community, and to further cultivate their 27-year-old brand.
LCM took over the controls during what was considered a slow period for the business as Royale was not moving a high volume of units. In typical circumstances around the office, the staff would allow social media management to take a backseat, almost to the point where it ceased completely. In the efforts to make those crucial sales and to hit the desired numbers, Loud Canvas Media met with and reviewed best practices with the team. We learned the ins-and-outs of business, reviewed the previous marketing initiatives, and became an integral part of the team as we began working on behalf of, and as, Royale Limo ourselves.
We ironed out any potential trouble spots with the platforms, before building a base of content -- both newly created as well as curated -- that would gain the attention the business deserved. Loud Canvas Media worked to:
- Engage and develop relationships and conversations with customers of past, present, and future;
- Compose fresh articles and content pieces to be published regularly on the website and social media platforms;
- Spread news, information, and promotions on a daily basis;
- Describe and promote their lines of vehicles in clear and articulate ways;
- And (most importantly) seek out and attract NEW customers to the company -- connecting with them and starting a dialogue
The biggest piece of our plan of action was to change the course of Royale's online marketing - taking the audience from simply being relatives and community members in their inner circle of 'friends' and putting the necessary information, sales, and promotions squarely in front of the people and businesses that would purchase these vehicles. Twitter became a communication tool with industry leaders and business owners (of limo services, etc); Instagram popped with fresh images of vehicles and quote cards with attractive descriptions, and Facebook became the hub -- the 'Town Hall' -- for a number of these conversations to take place.
It wasn't before too long -- only a month into our term and still in this slower period -- that Loud Canvas Media had made a major impact.
LCM connected with a number of limousine and black car services throughout the US using social media. A company from Tennessee reached out via Instagram and Twitter, inquiring as to the potential purchase for a new stretch limo.
As indicated above, LCM, acting professionally as Royale, did more than just 'follow' -- quite simply there was engagement, a relationship built, and the start of a business deal. Loud Canvas Media connected the Tennessee business to the Royale Limo sales rep for that area of the US that day via text and the rest is history! Within days, the sides had cut a deal for the purchase -- one that was negotiated to between $60,000 and $80,000.
Loud Canvas Media's social media team is starting conversations and building trust. We get behind the scenes to get our clients out in front of their competition. We are showcasing them: to prove their authenticity in an online world, to display their hard work, to boost their brand. Going 'under the hood' with a company like Royale, given that much of their work is proprietary in nature, we couldn't display manufacturing specifics to our growing social, but we did give potential buyers and car service owners a view and an understanding of the top-of-the-line products coming from tremendous people, vehicles that they should be adding to their fleet.
We're with Royale Limo every step of the way in their digital marketing initiatives, getting them the attention they have earned. Their brand is in hotels and casinos from coast to coast, their logo proudly displayed on the backs of their vehicles and high atop Fenway Park. With Loud Canvas Media driving each of their social platforms to over 200% growth, we've bolstered their brand while they work to continue crafting and selling America's best limousines.
Digital Marketing Done Right!
Anyone can "control" a social media account like Facebook or Twitter. However, the real benefits for a business come when it is managed effectively. If you're just posting a couple times a week (when time permits) and/or not engaging DAILY with your visitors and/or not adhereing to a specific marketing roadmap and content delivery strategy - YOU COULD BE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD!
Effective Social Media Management and Digital Marketing for a business or non-profit is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than running a social media platform for your personal use. It requires rigor, well-crafted strategy, and (most importantly) constant vigilance. If you don't have the requisite hours to put in weekly the campaign will fall flat and not be worth it. On the other hand, if you hire someone who doesn't know how to correctly drive a social media campaign for a business, you could wind up playing significant damage control for your brand image!
Let LCM handle the reins for you!
We'll work as an extension of you and drive your brand image online and help create and curate content for your posts and website. This improves not just your marketing, but your online SEO score as well!
Our focus is on ROI (return on your investment). So if you aren't MAKING more money (and gaining more awareness for your brand) in a quantifable way that EXCEEDS your spend, we'll call it quits. We always work with our clients to ensure they are seeing the value manifest 3x, 5x, sometimes 10x+ their expenses in the digitial marketing space.

Transgender Cruise Planned for December
Travel agent Jeff Land blocked cabins on a Royal Caribbean sailing in December for what he believes is the first trans cruise. "This has been a dream of mine for so long," Land said, "because it feels safe being with other trans people."
Land identifies as transgender and prefers female pronouns. "I'm hoping to book 40-50 people," she said.
The cruise is on the Navigator of the Seas that leaves from Galveston on Dec. 14 for a week. Three ports of call on the trip include Honduras, Belize and Cozumel. "In Belize, people should stay together, but it's gay-friendly," Land said. "Honduras and Cozumel are both very gay friendly."

Submitting jobs
Once you have logged in to a front-end server, there are two ways to submit a job: as an interactive job, or in batch mode.
Interactive Job
An interactive job is the preferred method for prototyping, debugging, and testing code. It should be remembered that any disruption in connection (due to inactivity, timeouts, etc.) will exit the job and free the allocated resources. For this reason, any job lasting more than an hour should probably instead use the batch mode described in the next section.
To submit an interactive job, use
qsub with the
-I flag:
qsub -I -l nodes={# of nodes}:{node features/properties}:ppn={# of processors per node} -l walltime={HH:MM:SS}
If you need X11 forwarding (for graphical applications), add
The interactive job starts a command-line shell on the requested node where the job-related commands/scripts can be executed. For example:
l@muse ~> ssh email@example.com
11 [vortex] qsub -I -l nodes=1:vortex:ppn=1 -l walltime=00:05:00
qsub: waiting for job 5207204 to start
qsub: job 5207204 ready
11 [vx01] sleep 5; echo This is technically a job!
This is technically a job!
12 [vx01] exit
qsub: job 5207204 completed
12 [vortex]
Batch Job
Because of the aforementioned fragility of interactive jobs, and because it may be necessary to wait a significant amount of time for resources to become available for a job to start when the cluster is busy, most jobs on the cluster are run in batch mode, that is, completely in the background with no user interaction. Since you will not be present to issue commands, this requires a job script to be submitted to the batch system that contains all the commands you need to run.
The basic format for job submission is
qsub [OPTIONS] SCRIPT
SCRIPT is the name of a file containing commands you would issue to run your application, and optionally
#PBS directives you could also specify as
OPTIONS to
qsub. The most commonly used are
-l nodes={# of nodes}:{node type}:ppn={# of processors per node}
the resources required for the job;
-l walltime={HH:MM:SS}
the maximum length of time the job will run;
-N {job name}
the job name;
-j oe
join output and error output, instead of splitting them into separate files;
-m abe
when a user is sent mail about the job:
afor if job is aborted by batch system,
bfor when the job begins, and/or
efor when the job ends; and
-M user1,user2,...
a comma separated list of email addresses that are notified.
man qsub for more options and information. In a script, all PBS directives must be mentioned before the execution commands: directives after the first command are ignored.
When batch jobs end, output that would have been written to the screen in an interactive job is instead saved as files in
$PBS_O_WORKDIR (the directory you were in when you submitted the job, or specified with
-w) named
Jobname.oJobID (and
Jobname.eJobID, if you did not use
-j oe). Using
tcsh, such output will always contain
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.
which is simply
tcsh warning you that (because it's running in a batch job) it has no access to a terminal and you will not be able use Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, etc.
Note that both interactive and batch jobs start in your home directory, regardless of where they were submitted. If you want to run a command in a different directory, first change directory, e.g.
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
ExamplesA serial job requires one node and runs on a single core. In this example, not having specified
nodes=, we are allowing the job scheduler to assign any processor on any machine in the cluster. If this were not acceptable, we could request a particular node feature/property by adding another
#PBS -l line, specifying
#PBS -l walltime=4:00:00
#PBS -N my_serial_job
#PBS -j oe
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
An SMP/shared-memory job runs on a single node using several cores, and uses OpenMP or multithreading.
#PBS -l nodes=1:x5672:ppn=8
#PBS -l walltime=12:00:00
#PBS -N my_smp_job
#PBS -j oe
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
A parallel/distributed memory job runs on multiple nodes with multiple cores using, in most cases, a parallel communication library such as MVAPICH2/OpenMPI. The parallel job script is executed on the first allocated node after the job begins.
On our systems, all MVAPICH2/OpenMPI jobs should be initiated using
mvp2run, a wrapper interface between
mpiexec and our batch system. It provides functionality for selecting the desired physical network, checking processor loads on the destination nodes, managing execution environment, and process mapping and affinity (for MVAPICH2). See
mvp2run -h for more information.
#PBS -l nodes=7:vortex:ppn=12
#PBS -l walltime=48:00:00
#PBS -N parallel_fem
#PBS -j oe
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
mvp2run -D -c 12 -C 0.2 -e GRIDX=500 -e GRIDY=400 /path/to/code/parallel_fem {args}

A week is a long time to go without a dash of Orange, so we created the Speedwork; a super-fast everyday rigid MTB-come-sub-commuter that's far beyond a hybrid. The Speedwork defies being labelled; a breathtaking blend of mountain bike comfort and road bike speed is what this bike is all about, with a healthy dose of fun thrown in.
Built around our legendary Clockwork frame, the Speedwork offers all the comfort and control of a mountain bike, but it has rigid forks, 29" wheels and fast-rolling 2.0 tyres for flat-out speed on man-made terrain. Reliable componentry means minimal servicing even when you're clocking up commuter miles.
A bike this good isn't just a weekday workhorse though. For urban exploring, canal-side cruising or just relishing the thrill of riding fast, the Speedwork totally nails it. Of all the Oranges in your quiver, this could be the one you ride most.

The compiler only looks at the context (Binary a) *after* it has chosen an instance. When somewhere in the code it encounters "toBinary x", it looks for an instance declaration "instance Binarizable a b where" which matches x's type.

Probably, what you want can be done with some type wizardry, but I don't know how.

Pilgrimage to Montgomery - Mary Roy, LICSW →
A few years ago, I read the book Just Mercy and I have followed and supported the work of Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative ever since. He and his staff stand out for me as an inspiring model of social activism fueled and sustained by an unwavering dedication to justice, so when I received notice about the long-awaited opening of the National Memorial For Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum: From Slavery to Mass Incarceration, in Montgomery, Alabama, I booked my tickets without hesitation.
I wanted to know from my own experience that we could tell the truth as a country, that we could take a close look at our own centuries-long terrorism of African Americans and the racism and oppression that people of color and Native Americans experience in America. I wanted to know that we could begin to heal what has long festered in the murky blindness of our carefully constructed white privilege: the insidious dehumanizing of entire races of humans defined by the color of their skin, a distorted perspective that is aided and abetted by the media we consume rabidly. I expected to be confronted with the horrors of slavery, lynching, police brutality, and the intact school-to-prison pipeline for African Americans. I did not expect to come away so energized and hopeful.

The rapid shift to e-commerce is transforming the retail landscape in India. With e-commerce forming an integral part of the overall growth of retail sales, retailers are rationalizing their physical footprint and intensifying their e-commerce presence. "Use of technology and social media is going to be one of the critical factors among the retailers operating in a young, vast and fragmented market like India," the spokesperson said.
The top 250 global retailers generated aggregated revenues of US$4.31 trillion in fiscal year 2015, representing composite growth of 5.2%, according to a global report from Deloitte.
"Slow economic growth in major developed economies, high levels of debt in emerging countries, deflation or low inflation in rich countries and a protectionist backlash against globalization were among dynamics which contributed to a challenging economic environment for retailers," said Ira Kalish, Deloitte Global Chief Economist. "And yet people still need to shop, so the industry carries on. In some places and with some cohorts of shoppers, the outlook for retailers is favorable," said Kalish.

Hello everyone, i'm Jason.
I'm finding my way round megento and have had fantastic support from the people who provided the theme for my web site. I am having a spot of bother with payment side of things. At checkout it's showing the delivery charges, and when I click continue the page should then be moving to show paypal, however it's just going back to the delivery options page? So, not moving on to the payment options page? I have tried switching on all payment methods to see if that helps, but it's doing nothing. I've run out of ideas!
Can anyone offer any suggestions? It's a Magento ver. 220.127.116.11 install if that helps?
Many thanks

More than just feeling good, massage can cure what ails you
Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying compassion and support. When you bump your head or have a sore calf, the natural response is to rub it to feel better. The same was true of our earliest ancestors. As the holidays approach so does the opportunity for increased anxiety and stress-related illness. Staying healthy is key to maintaining your ability to take whatever life has to throw at you. Why not lower stress levels by boosting your immunity system thereby reducing the risk of colds, flu, and other viral infections. After all the last thing you want is to get sick and miss work or school. Massage therapy as a preventive measure and part of an ongoing care regimen can mean fewer visits to the doctor, as well as fewer co-pays, prescriptions, and over-the-counter medications. There is now an increasing amount of scientific proof of the benefits of massage. These benefits range from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related. Massage is there to combat that frightening number by helping us remember what it means to relax. The physical changes massage brings to your body can have a positive effect in many areas of your life. Besides increasing relaxation and decreasing anxiety, massage lowers blood pressure, increases circulation, improves injury recovery, encourages deep sleep, and increases concentration. It reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations.
You may be trimming some extras out of your budget, as many Americans are. When weighing what goes and what stays, consider what an excellent value massage is, especially in relation to things that may be less valuable, but still cost you plenty. The price of massage has remained stable in recent years, while the cost of movies, dining out, and sports events have risen.
Massage is a vital part of self-care that has a positive ripple effect on you as you work, play, and care for others. Investing in your health is one investment that's sure to pay off.
What It Does: In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive, and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.
At Home: Children are sensitive and quickly pick up on tension in a household. Massage therapy creates healthier more relaxed moms and dads. Parents who are taking care of themselves are more likely to be better caregivers and provide a sense of security for their kids. This goes for caregivers of aging parents and other family members
At Work: It's no secret that taking preventive measures can help forestall illnesses and lost work time especially when you may be asked to produce more with fewer resources. Massage therapy is well-known for its improved sleep and relaxation properties. In the office the resulting increased energy and clear focus will sharpen your decision-making skills and enhance overall the performance

coaching faqs
Why would anyone need a coach? seems like a frivolous way to spend time and $.
Our perception of hiring a coach for ourselves is that it seems silly -- remedial, rather than as an opportunity to embark on a challenge to be the best. Yes, coaching is sometimes mandated as part of performance improvement plans. But that perspective on coaching is a limiting point of view. We would benefit from looking at our sports culture where we have high expectations of coaches to maximize the performance of star athletes and teams!
So...really...why do I need a coach? I'm getting along quite well by myself.
Coaching is one of many investments that will support developing YOU as a valued asset to yourself - and those around you. You may not need a coach - or you may not be ready for a coach. And if you are reading this, no doubt you are someone who is striving to move your own bar of greatness. Whether it is reading, surrounding yourself with a good network, taking classes to expand your skills -- each investment serves a purpose that you should understand the benefit of so you can decide how you might need to diversify.
What is the value of coaching and what does it involve?
Coaching is not about me telling you the twelve steps to success. Or about us having an open-ended conversation. Coaching is about you having strong intention to learn how you want to BE as a leader, and developing out behaviors that align with those characteristics. My role as coach is to provide an environment where you have structured space to "go slow to go fast." In this space, we will explore the future and examine the present to increase your awareness; draw out those behaviors and actions that demonstrate your most effective self; and generate the momentum, confidence and accountability you need to grow. Leadership is a journey to be embraced even if it's sometimes not a comfortable one.
We'll start wherever you're at, whether it's at "OMG - this is my first position as a manager and I'm treading water!" OR "Never in my x years as director have I ever had a group that is so !@#$ disrespectful; I'm at my wits end!" OR "I'm rocking it and I'm ready to show the world how much more I can take on!"
We "lead with you." And as a coach, I will bring questions that consider both the pragmatics of business and inspiration of holistic leadership. To not take both into consideration during coaching is actually why a lot of folks do NOT hire coaches!*
*Huffington Post article.
what makes me ready for coaching?
Not to scare anyone, but I advise coaching only for those who are ready to be intentional about their development (yes, including for those on a professional improvement plan). As someone being coached, you need to be ready to receive objective feedback to take responsibility for your actions. As a coach, I hope to help you be more receptive and accountable, but entering into a coaching relationship with this state of mind will maximize the benefits you derive from coaching.
I'm ready FOR COACHING...now what?
Prior to engaging in a formal coaching relationship with each other, let's take an hour - or two- to make sure you feel grounded in the coaching investment and commitment you are embarking on, and we are comfortable with each other's style of communication. I'll want to learn more about your goals, why they matter to you, what you think is getting in your way, and your commitment level to your goals. You likely will have lots of questions for me to be comfortable with my coaching style. So the next step is scheduling an hour for us to in person or via videoconference. At the end of our conversation, if we don't believe a coaching relationship with me will serve you best, I will recommend someone in my network who may be a better match.
Who are your coaching clients?
I coach both emerging managers to seasoned executives. As a leadership coach, I'm an optimist about people and their ability to change, but I'm also intentional about who I work with. I want both of us to look forward to each coaching session. So, if the following list describes you, I think we have a starting point for a good coaching relationship!
- You tend to be a trail-blazer -- someone who is passionate about what they do and enjoys the challenges, the diversity, and the rewards of life.
- You seek to become more aware and intuitive about your leadership style. And you have the courage to realize this will be both rewarding and terrifying at the same time.
- You are willing to take full responsibility for your actions -- and test out new behaviors and ways of doing things (and have some fun doing it).
- You are discerning, and willing to adopt what works and fling what doesn't.
- You are always striving for better. Or even sometimes, perhaps perfection, despite having come to realize that as humans we aren't perfect (it's OK to have this innate desire to find better possibilities - so long as it doesn't get the better of us.).

Evaluation of cumulus cloud – radiation interaction effects on air quality –relevant meteorological variables from WRF, from a regional climate perspective
Herwehe, J., Kiran Alapaty, T. Otte, Chris Nolte, AND R. Bullock. Evaluation of cumulus cloud – radiation interaction effects on air quality –relevant meteorological variables from WRF, from a regional climate perspective. Presented at 12th Annual CMAS Conference, Chapel Hill, NC, October 28 - 30, 2013.
The National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) Atmospheric Modeling and Analysis Division (AMAD) conducts research in support of EPA mission to protect human health and the environment. AMAD research program is engaged in developing and evaluating predictive atmospheric models on all spatial and temporal scales for forecasting the air quality and for assessing changes in air quality and air pollutant exposures, as affected by changes in ecosystem management and regulatory decisions. AMAD is responsible for providing a sound scientific and technical basis for regulatory policies based on air quality models to improve ambient air quality. The models developed by AMAD are being used by EPA, NOAA, and the air pollution community in understanding and forecasting not only the magnitude of the air pollution problem, but also in developing emission control policies and regulations for air quality improvements
Aware only of the resolved, grid-scale clouds, the Weather Research & Forecasting model (WRF) does not consider the interactions between subgrid-scale convective clouds and radiation. One consequence of this omission may be WRF's overestimation of surface precipitation during summer. To address this problem, our regional climate modeling group at the U.S. EPA modified WRF to provide feedbacks from the Kain-Fritsch (KF) convection parameterization to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model – Global (RRTMG) radiation schemes in order to allow the subgrid cumulus clouds, along with the resolved clouds, to affect both shortwave and longwave radiative processes (Alapaty et al., Geophys. Res. Lett., 2012). We implemented this cumulus cloud – radiation connection in a recent release of WRF (Version 3.5) and used it to simulate a multiyear period over the contiguous U.S. The purpose of this study is to perform an initial evaluation of the effects on air quality-relevant meteorological variables when including the cumulus cloud – radiation interactions in regional climate simulations. The focus of this evaluation will be on temporally- and regionally-averaged analyses of parameters such as 2-meter temperature (for biogenic emissions, reaction rates), 10-meter wind speed and planetary boundary layer height (to gauge ventilation), specific humidity (important in particulate matter processes), cloud fraction (which affects photolysis and aqueous chemistry), precipitation (a sink for PM), and, possibly other quantities, such as the frequency of frontal passages, for example. For users of the Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system (CMAQ), this study should provide some indication of the changes and potential improvements expected in WRF-driven CMAQ air quality predictions when including subgrid-scale cloud effects on radiation.

Allowing the User to input a number and assign this to an 'int' variable
I need the user to be able to input a number, and for the program to assign this value to an 'int' variable.
I know how to do this with a 'string' variable:
Java Code:
String options = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "In your decision, how many options do you have? \n" + "(NOTE: The maximum number of options = 5, and you must enter your answer as a numeral.)");

Each year, the National Institute of Building Sciences recognizes individuals and organizations that have provided outstanding service to the Institute, the building community and the nation. The Institute honored its 2013 award winners at an Annual Reception and Awards Banquet held Wednesday, January 8, during Building Innovation 2014—The National Institute of Building Sciences Annual Conference & Expo. The 2013 recipients included Wagdy A.Y. Anis, FAIA; Martin Weiland, PE; and Jimmy W. Sealy, FAIA.
Wagdy Anis (second from left) accepts the 2013 Institute Honor Award from Institute Chairman RK Stewart (left), Institute President Henry L. Green (second from right) and Incoming Chairman James "Tim" Ryan.
The Institute Honor Award goes to an individual or organization that has made an exceptional contribution to the nation and the building community. Institute Chairman RK Stewart, FAIA, Hon. FRAIC, Hon. JIA, LEED AP, presented the 2013 Honor Award to Wagdy A.Y. Anis, FAIA, in recognition of his dedication to and leadership of the Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) and a staunch advocate for the message of how "Science Meets Design" in the design and construction of high-performance building enclosures; his work on the Building Enclosure Science and Technology (BEST) Conference series, now evolving into its fourth incarnation; his role in establishing the Building Enclosure Councils; and his vision of the Journal of Building Enclosure Design (JBED), which debuted in 1996. Anis serves as principal of Wiss, Janny, Elstner Associates, Inc.'s Boston office.
"I am humbled." said Anis. "As the Institute moves forward to improve the design and construction industry…my work will continue with BETEC…and advancing the performance of buildings as much as I can."
Martin Weiland, of the U.S. General Service Administration, addresses the audience upon receiving the 2013 Institute Member Award.
The Institute Member Award goes to a member of the Institute or affiliate council who has made a substantial contribution in support of the mission, goals and objectives of the Institute. Chairman Stewart presented the 2013 Member Award to Martin Weiland, PE, in recognition of his efforts to lead the transformation of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)'s P100, "Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Services," from a primarily prescriptive standard into a performance-based standard; his tenacious work from designing the project scope of work to reconciling more than 1,000 comments; and his work with GSA's regional offices to incorporate many innovative features including tiers of performance, electronic formatting, a performance rating system and continuous-updating procedures.
"It is important to me and the entire team at GSA that NIBS is acknowledging GSA's bold step…" said Weiland. "We look forward to more work on this standard with NIBS."
"Plumbers don't expect a lot of awards," said Pete DeMarco, upon accepting the 2013 Institute President's Award on behalf of the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).
The Institute President's Award is given to an individual or organization in recognition of extraordinary efforts to assist in advancing the mission of the Institute. Institute President Henry L. Green, Hon. AIA, presented the 2013 President's Award to The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) in recognition of the organization's support of and work on Institute programs, including the Consultative Council, High Performance Building Council, National Council of Governments on Building Codes and Standards, and the buildingSMART Alliance, as well as work to forge a more resilient America by promoting the need for improved water efficiency and the water/energy nexus in America.
Accepting the award on behalf of IAPMO was Peter DeMarco, senior vice president of advocacy, research and program development. DeMarco has led a number of initiatives, both internal to the Institute and external, which have led to a greater discussion on how energy and water are inexplicably connected.
"Plumbers don't expect a lot of awards," said DeMarco, upon receiving the award. "[Regarding the Consultative Council] it's been an opportunity. Where else can you develop a series of recommendations that carry the weight of consensus that lands on the President of the United States' desk?"
Institute President Henry L. Green (left) and Institute Chairman RK Stewart (right) present the 2013 Mortimer M.. Marshal Lifetime Achievement Award to Jimmy W. Sealy. Sealy has dedicated more than 40 years of his life to building codes and the work of the National Institute of Building Sciences and other building industry organizations.
The Mortimer M. Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award, the Institute's highest honor, goes to someone who has demonstrated a lifetime of dedication to the mission and goals of the Institute. Established in 2011 and named after the organization's first member, this award is bestowed upon those who exhibit the passion upon which the Institute is founded. Chairman Stewart presented the 2013 Mortimer M. Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award to Jimmy W. Sealy, FAIA.
Sealy has participated on dozens of committees, such as accessibility, stairs, enclosures, seismic safety, window safety for children, and many more, for a number of building industry organizations throughout his career. Known for his epic knowledge of building codes and regulations, Sealy has mentored a vast array of code officials and industry practitioners. He has an immense history in codes, having worked in all of the legacy model code organizations, and continues to address the most complex issues facing designers, building owners and governmental code administration agencies across America.
A recipient of the most prestigious awards given by the model code organizations, Sealy received the Alton T. Riddick Award from the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) in 1988 and the John Fies Award from the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) in 1999 (the only individual to have receive both of those awards). In addition, the International Code Council awarded Sealy the Bobby J. Fowler Award in 2004, the highest award accorded in the building code administration profession.
Sealy has also been honored by his profession. In 1993, he was named to the AIA College of Fellows. In 1999, Sealy received the AIA Dallas President's Medal in recognition of "extraordinary service to the architectural profession." In 2007, he was appointed to serve a three-year term as a member of the AIA Fellows Jury and the Jury of Honorary Fellows. In 2011, his peers from the American Institute of Architects Dallas further recognized him with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2005, Sealy also received the Institute's Member award "for voluntary service to improve the building process through contributions to safety, accessibility, egress, and all around common sense."
Sealy served on the Institute Board from 2007 to 2012. During his years on the Board, he provided exemplary leadership and guidance. He served as vice chairman from 2009 to 2010 and was elected to chairman in January 2010, serving until December 2011. As immediate past chair, Sealy continued his service on the Board and also served as chairman of the Building Seismic Safety Council Board of Direction (a position he held prior to his election to the Board).
"My family has been building codes and NIBS," said Sealy. "[my relationship] started 42 years ago (I'm older than NIBS)… I thought tonight was going to be my last trip, and our contracting officer [for the Building Seismic Safety Council, which Sealy chairs], asked me to continue. So, I'll see you next year."
Each year, the Institute issues a call to industry for nominations to identify potential award recipients. In the summer of 2013, the Awards Committee reviewed the 2013 submissions and selected winners from the nominees, based on how their work meets the mission, objectives and goals of the Institute. The Awards Committee will solicit nominations for the 2014 awards in late spring of 2014, with nominations due in July.
