As businesses and organizations continue to be challenged with increasing complexities and data growth, they look for solutions that offer the right balance of performance, energy efficiency and easy-to-manage capabilities. To address these needs, Dell launched its new line of networking switch appliances with the PowerConnect series.
PowerConnect 7000
To supplement the company's existing server and storage offerings, Dell introduced the new 5500 and 7000 PowerConnect switch. The PowerConnect 7000 family delivers superior performance for midsized business deployments, distributed offices and large server farms. It also delivers the connectivity to support Dell's PowerEdge servers and Dell's EqualLogic storage arrays. The PowerConnect 5500 series enables a superb solution to basic, non-managed Gigabit Ethernet switches deployed in small-to-medium offices and remote locations, which require rapid wire-speed deployment with flexible features.
PowerConnect 5500
Both families implement innovative technology features to streamline deployment, simplify management and help reduce operating costs with power-saving Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) design and Power-Ethernet operation.
Dell also announced the appointment of two channel partners, namely ICS (Integrated Computer Systems) and IMVI (International MicroVillage, Inc.) supporting Dell's networking solutions business for distribution and systems integration, respectively.

Facebook for under 13? NOT.
My son is 9. He is not allowed to use Facebook. He also doesn't have a phone, yet asks for one. I am opposed to FB allowing kids younger than 13 into this world. My son is fabulous, yet not emotionally ready for this.
I am focusing on teaching him healthy boundaries, trusting his intuition, speaking his truth, saying No even if he's afraid they won't like him, standing in his truth, even if it means risking rejection.
As a relationship coach, I am teaching my son that no matter what people tell him or ask him to do, he is ALWAYS at choice. If it makes him feel lighter, it's good for him, if it makes him feel heavier, it's not good for him. No one knows his truth but him.
We've enough challenges dealing with bullying at school, that we changed schools to support him. Even the baseball team can be a place for learning to navigate bullying and choose to behave with respect.
Entering into Facebook would be like throwing him into a den of wolves at 9 years old. The life skills I'm teaching him will not only support the healthy use of FB, it will set him up to win in all aspects of life, able to handle judgments of others and not waver from his Best Self.>

We are seeking a method for the observation/analysis of cells to provide on this page. We are also accepting offers from researchers who have developed any new analytical method for cells. Please contact iPS PORTAL, Inc., if you are interested.
Electrophysiological Measurement of Cardiomyocyte
For purposes such as the safety assessment of drug candidate compounds, the cell cluster of cardiomyocyte (derived from iPS cells) is placed on the probe of the extracellular potential-measuring instrument and the change in extracellular potential is measured.
Extracellular potential measurement of cardiomyocyte with MED64
When the extracellular potential of cardiomyocyte inoculated into the probe (container) is measured, a waveform similar to that of an electrocardiogram can be obtained.
The effect of the drug on beating, QT prolongation, and occurrence of arrhythmia can be analyzed by observation of the action potential change.
Instruments/Reagents to be Used
Point of Operation
Place cells on the measuring probe and measure the extracellular potential with the instrument. The gas-permeable cap is attached to prevent contamination because measurement with MED64 is conducted in an open system.
In addition, you should devise the conditions so that measurements can be conducted in the same environment as the culture, such as warming the probe installation part to 37°C with a heater and filling 5% CO2 gas into a box, because measurement results are significantly affected by factors such as temperature and pH.
Image Analysis of Cells
Various image analysis systems that analyze cellular condition have been proposed. Here, we introduce the observation/analysis method with CQ1 (YOKOGAWA) and Cell3iMager (SCREEN HD). We will update the content as needed.

Over the last month or so there have been several "Dane Cook and his 19-year-old girlfriend" headlines. First off, who cares who Dane Cook dates (unless it's Miley Cyrus – remember that?). Second, why is her age always highlighted? Sure it's a big gap but again, it's Dane Cook. No one has any expectation about his dating life. But recent photos of them showed up on E!, PEOPLE, US Weekly, Daily Mail and TMZ. So what are these two aiming for – a record deal for her? A reality show for both of them? The eventual sale of wedding photos?
When Chrissy Teigen wants to post a picture of herself on someone else's birthday, she is at least honest about it!
Even Chidi gets tricked by selfies that are actually videos.

The cold-shoulder cut has been pretty dominant the last few years – some people love it, some people absolutely hate it. But how about the one cold-shoulder? It's very asymmetrical.
Tiffany Haddish is telling her Beyoncé story again but this time with an extra detail – who is the actress that put her hand on Jay-Z's chest? Gabrielle Union once said the first rule of hanging out with Bey and J is that you never talk about hanging out with Bey and J. So I'm worried for Tiffany – will this block her from future invites? Or will they accept her storytelling as part of her charm?
I love pajama suits (like the kind that can be worn outside). But I don't think I've seen a man work the trend yet. Of course it's Dwyane Wade. He loves fashion. He is incredibly stylish. He is rocking a silk pajama top like it's not a big deal.
What is it that makes their faces so similar – their noses? They both have great noses.
Um when did Jason Sudekis become a DILF? Because he is.
If you are on Instagram, you have noticed an uptick in obnoxious street style photos. That's a sign that fashion week is upon us, and assholes are parading the sidewalks hoping to be photographed. An antidote to that is Mark and Sunny Ruffalo at Valentino with Pedro Pascal.

Aurigny's new London, All Airports offering25th April 2016
With immediate effect, Aurigny is giving its passengers the option of flying into and out of different London airports on the same ticket. When booking online, customers will be able, for example, to select a flight from Guernsey to London City and choose to return from either Gatwick or Stansted. The option appears in the flight finder box on the Aurigny.com homepage and is listed as "London, All Airports." Step two of the booking process shows flight times and ticket prices for Gatwick, London City and Stansted.
Malcolm Coupar, Aurigny's commercial director, says: "We've listened to our customers and we're delighted to be able to give them this "London, All Airports" offering. The enhancement to our website works in reverse too, so passengers can fly out of say Gatwick and return to either London City or Stansted. Prices aren't altered so our great value £49 singles to Gatwick remain available on the all London offering."
He continues: "During this year's school holidays we're offering some excellent value flights from Guernsey to London City for just £40 one way. If you combine this with a late Gatwick return you can get a long day out in London for just £89 return. This means we expect our flexible London offering to be popular with both the business community and leisure travellers."

v8.4 UM-UKCA jobs failing to complete build & compile in 1hour-wallclock on serial queue
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|UM Model
|UM Version:
Dear NCAS-CMS helpdesk,
cc: Sandip
I am encountering a problem this evening where the build-and-compile
job for two of my v8.4 UM-UKCA ARCHER jobs I've submitted this evening
are not completing within the 1:00:00 wall-clock limit for the serial nodes.
By contrast an equivalent v8.4 UM-UKCA job I submitted this afternoon
completed OK in about 20 minutes or so (that's usually now long it
takes to compile):
The xmhbv is basically the same job as xmhbx but is just a short
2-day job for testing some code-changes I'd carried out.
That test worked successfully so I proceeded to make those code-changes
in the main jobs (xmhbw and xmhbx) but then frustratingly the compile
is timing out.
This is doubly frustrating because I have got a 2-job-width ARCHER
reservation on at the moment — and the jobs I submitted last night
failed overnight with disk quota errors due to the problem Grenville
emailed out about with /work filling.
I re-submitted this morning the set of six 5-year 1990s transient
Pinatubo-perturbed interactive strat-trop aerosol jobs that had
crashed last night. And these are now running OK.
But the 2 jobs I'm submitting this evening are longer 15-year Pre-Industrial
Timeslice control jobs for some Krakatoa simulations we'll do.
The plan with this was to run 2 10+-year control jobs in this ARCHER
reservation (Grenville has helped me out getting this all set up).
We got that together last night but it seems to be failing.
Because of the ARCHER reservation, I've elevated the priority for this
query to be high — that's because the compile time-out is stopping
me submitting these last 2 runs to the 2-job-width reservation.
So I'll lose another overnight run-time period in the reservation.
I'm assuming this is some temporary "system problem" on ARCHER that
is causing the build or compilation to go more slowly than it should.
And I'm hoping the "system problem" may just be temporary.
But hopefully the info I've provided above may help make it easier
to identify the source of the problem.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Dear Graham,
Personally, I have had lots of problems compiling on the shared nodes, because they are shared. Sometimes you get one all to yourself and compilation is fine, other times its overloaded with jobs and compilation times out.
I almost always compile on the login nodes now, and for the UKCA training course I advised all the students to do the same, precisely for this reason and previous problems that I've had. Please see the following page to learn how to do it.
(it should be noted that these instructions are for vn8.4 jobs, but in principle they should work (with appropriate modifications) for any UMUI-based job).
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by grenville
This is OK for the occasional build, but login nodes are shared too. Make sure you're building in /home, /work is slow handling lots of small files.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by gmann
Hi Luke,
Thanks for pointing this out — that's very helpful and much appreciated.
Actually I realise maybe I should have cc'd you on the ticket as I did
for Sandip.
Or are you notified automatically about NCAS-CMS helpdesk tickets with
"ukca" specified in the keywords?
Anyway — the thing is that in this case I don't think the manual compile
would have fixed the problem because I did try running the job setting it
to start from pre-exisiting model-executables and rcf-executables for an
equivalent 2-day test job that I was able to compile successfully during
the day.
See the thing is that when I did that to run from the pre-existing executables
for the rcf and the model it then proceeded to try to run the reconfiguration
of the dump — and that then timed out too!
So maybe it was that the login nodes were just busy at that particular time?
Grenville, Luke —- what should I have done then in this case?
Is it possible to run the reconfiguration on the login nodes?
And even if it is possible is that allowed?
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by grenville
You can set the umui to run the model only — you can't run the reconfig on the login nodes; they don't support parallel codes.
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by gmann
Hi Grenville,
Yes I know you can set the UMUI to run the model only.
But that's not what I wanted to do.
We designed the experiments so that the initialisation chosen
from another run so that it had the chosen phase of the QBO
in the months after the eruption.
And we needed to do the reconfiguration to achieve this.
Well I suppose we could have changed the start date to match
and would then not have needed to run the reconfiguration.
But I didn't expect that to take that long…..
Also — re: your reply about the reconfiguration — wouldn't
it also be possible to run a parallel job from the command line?
(As long as the target architecture allowed it.)
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by luke
Hi Graham,
I'm emailed all the CMS tickets - I try to respond to all the UKCA ones, or others that I can answer.
The timing out of reconfiguration will be a different issue. It's worth trying it again.
Can you try building from scratch manually, then qsub the rcf and run steps (you need to wait for the rcf to finish before qsub-ing the run step).
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by gmann
Hi Luke & Grenville,
But the actually the jobs seem to have built OK today when
I submitted them late morning.
So it looks like it was a particular problem last night.
Grenville contacted the ARCHER helpdesk and they are looking
back at those particular jobs to see if they can work out
what the problem was.
Your suggestions may be helpful though in the future if I
encounter the problem again.
However last night I was finding the running of the rcf step was
also slow (when submitted from the UMUI at least).
So your suggestion above would not have got around the problem in this case.
Thanks anyway,

The Link Between Selenium Deficiency And Thyroid Health
Discover the role selenium plays in maintaining thyroid function.
In this article:
- Selenium Deficiency in Thyroid Patients
- More Benefits of Selenium
- How Much Selenium Is Necessary for Thyroid Health?
- What Causes Selenium Deficiency?

- More Selenium Sources
Selenium and Thyroid Function | What's the Connection?
Selenium Deficiency in Thyroid Patients
People may not find the selenium element in many food labels. Some health articles may not discuss it.
It doesn't change the fact the mineral is a vital nutrient. It is even more important for people with thyroid conditions.
This micronutrient can help mitigate thyroid disease symptoms. The mineral may also promote healthy hormone production of the glands.
A working thyroid gland depends on adequate intake of the mineral.
The nutrient, along with iodine, is critical in the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones then regulate many systems throughout the body.
A functioning thyroid contributes to a healthy metabolism and proper digestion. The body also needs it for muscle control.
It also promotes brain function, strong bones, strong heart rate, and mood regulation.
Low hormone production may lead to hypothyroidism. It is a medical condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland.
The symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, depression, and memory loss. Muscle aches, muscle spasms, and cold intolerance may also be signs of hypothyroidism.
Too much thyroid hormone may result in hyperthyroidism, which means the thyroid gland is overactive.
People with the disease can lose too much weight or feel hotter than usual. They also tend to have trouble sleeping.
One of the classic symptoms is heart palpitation or a "jittery" feeling.
Some studies found it may modulate the way the thyroid produces the hormones.
It works together with iodine. It is the principal mineral necessary to produce the thyroid hormones.
In fact, without it, the body won't be able to synthesize iodine to create these hormones.
More Benefits of Selenium
Selenium does more than encouraging healthy thyroid function. That's why it's also ideal even for people who have no thyroid issues.
It provides antioxidant protection. Antioxidants help prevent the body from developing serious health issues. These include cancer, heart disease, strokes, and mental decline.
A healthier immune system also prevents colds and flu, as well as premature skin aging.
People with thyroid issues often have problems with their immune system. They may have lower immunity, so they become vulnerable to more health problems.
That makes the micronutrient's antioxidant protection a kind of "one-two punch" when it comes to boosting health in thyroid patients.
Most of all, it helps regulate the iodine levels. Too much of it may damage the thyroid glands.
How Much Selenium Is Necessary for Thyroid Health?
The good news is most Americans get enough of it from their regular diet. Those with thyroid diseases, though, may have lower levels of the micronutrient.
If thyroid issues are a concern, it's especially important to know how much is necessary.
This knowledge enables them to choose more foods high in selenium. They may also consider thyroid-supporting supplements.
Toddlers need about 20 micrograms (mcg) of it each day. Children under 9 need 30 mcg, and preteens must have 40 mcg.
From the teen years into adulthood, about 55 mcg is adequate for most people. The exception to this recommendation is women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
In these cases, the required amount is 60 to 70 mcg daily.
What Causes Selenium Deficiency?
One of the common reasons for the deficiency is poor dietary choices. It may also be prevalent in countries with low amounts of the mineral in the soil.
Some health conditions interfere with the body's ability to absorb the nutrient. These include Crohn's disease and other digestive issues.
The same is true for autoimmune diseases and immune dysfunction conditions, including HIV.
Taking certain medications can also cause the depletion of the micronutrient.
Other medical treatments also carry the risk of decreased selenium. These include gastric bypass surgery and dialysis.
Even before doctors can detect thyroid issues, selenium deficiency symptoms may be apparent. It can result in weight gain, frequent illness, hair loss, and fatigue.
Crohn's Disease Definition: It is a chronic inflammation of certain parts of the bowel system such as the colon. It may result in the swelling, redness, and ulcerations of the affected organs.
Selenium-Rich Foods
Eating foods high in selenium may be a must for those with thyroid problems. The amount of the mineral these plants have depend on the quality of the soil.
For people in North America, this is rarely an issue. One exception may be eating too many food sources from Asia or Eastern Europe.
Brazil nuts tend to be the highest source of plant-based foods with selenium. In fact, a handful of them provides about seven times the recommended dietary allowance (RDA).
Other non-animal sources of selenium include enriched macaroni, oatmeal, and brown rice. You can also get them from puffed wheat cereal, whole wheat bread, and spinach.
Canned baked beans are also good sources. All these foods offer at least 10% of the RDA for selenium.
Animal products are also reliable high-selenium foods. Yellowfin tuna offers more than 100% of the RDA.
In descending order, other choices providing at least 10% of the RDA of this vital nutrient are:
- Halibut
- Sardines
- Ham
- Shrimp
- Beefsteak
- Turkey
- Beef Liver
- Chicken
- Cottage cheese
- Ground beef
- Eggs
- Milk
- Yogurt

More Selenium Sources
Some people may not be able to get enough of the mineral from their diet. They may live in a region with low selenium in the soil, which affects the amounts present in plant-based foods.
Animal sources from these areas can also have less of it. This happens because they eat grains in low-selenium soils.
Vegans and vegetarians may have issues with the consumption of selenium. It's possible they cannot reach the recommended intake of 55 mcg each day.
So do some thyroid patients. That's why doctors may recommend supplements containing more selenium.
Watch the video by Integrative Brain and Body below and learn more about the importance of selenium for thyroid function:
Selenium is a vital trace mineral, especially for thyroid function. It doesn't mean people can overdo it.
Excessive amounts of the nutrient can result in rashes, nausea, and diarrhea. They may also lead to unhealthy hair and nails, and more severe symptoms.
People with thyroid issues can manage the problem.
They need the help of their doctors, though, particularly an endocrinologist. Only these physicians can tell the best amounts of the mineral for their health.
Sometimes the diets may limit selenium intake. The tests may also show a nutritional deficiency.
In this case, a combination of dietary changes and supplements may be necessary. They can make a big difference in boosting thyroid health.

The Pitch of Fear was a comedy sketch parodying the pitch meeting for, and initial 26-year run of, Doctor Who.
Plot Edit
Mr Borusa sees Muffin the Mule out of his office, declaring that "I'm sorry too". He then thanks Sydney for coming, who delivers his pitch for a series Borusa mistakenly pronounces "Drwhoo".
Sydney then discusses his idea, about a "man who can travel anywhere in space and time", only for Borusa to ask if it's a game show. He seems disheartened when discovering it is in fact science fiction, and believes that the idea of the TARDIS being bigger on the inside "has been done". Sydney continues however, whilst Borusa uninterestedly listens until it is described as a "family show".
After some thought, Sydney says that he envisages the show to run for "26 years", and has it all worked out, describing the Doctor's first three incarnations as a "crotchety old man", a "cosmic hobo" and a "dashing dandy", who can be played by Jon Pertwee who becomes available in 1970, but must be released by 1974, due to Worzel Gummidge.
Describing the Doctor's costume, Sydney states that it must be "exactly right", but after that, "anything goes", confirming to Borusa that it will spoil the mystery, and so suggest question marks on his lapels. This also makes him think of a knock knock joke, which Sydney does not get.
Whilst thinking of suitable actors, Borusa begins humming to himself, and calls in a man who knocks on the door, and then drums his fingers on Borusa's desk. All of this forms the theme tune for Doctor Who.
Cast Edit
- Mr. Borusa - Mark Gatiss (uncredited)
- Sydney - David Walliams (uncredited)
- Man with clipboard - Paul Putner (uncredited)
Crew Edit
References Edit
Individuals Edit
- At the beginning of the sketch, Mr Borusa is showing Muffin the Mule out of his office.
- Mr Borusa has a BAFTA award behind his desk.
- Mr Borusa mentions they're looking for a show to go between the football results and Juke Box Jury.
Food and beverages Edit
- Mr Borusa and Sydney both drink whisky.
Story notes Edit
- This was the first of three sketches produced for BBC Two's Doctor Who Night, alongside The Web of Caves and The Kidnappers.
- Paul Putner's character is never named during the sketch, and so his credit here as "Man with Clipboard" is purely descriptive.
- The initial broadcast of the sketch featured a line in which Sydney stated that towards the end of the classic series, they could just get "any old f*cker with an equity card" to play the Doctor. Mark Gatiss is stated to have regretted this line as soon as he saw it broadcast, and allowed the sketch to be included on The Beginning DVD set on the condition that the exchange be cut.
- The name Borusa is obviously a reference to the Time Lord of the same name. Likewise Sydney is a reference to Sydney Newman.
Home video releases Edit
All three Doctor Who Night sketches, along with The Corridor Sketch, starring Nicholas Briggs, were released as a special feature on the An Unearthly Child disc of the DVD box-set, The Beginning.

Whether you are watching TV or just going through the pages of a magazine, you are bombarded with photographs that force you to think and feel about the subject; it doesn't matter if the photo is about a beautiful women or a dilapidated structure.
Photography is an art, very much similar to a painter who uses a canvass. The big difference is the use of lighting which a photographer can use to portray the subject in a manner he wants to. This is done by a painter using different shades of colors.
This is one profession, where there is really no difference between a professional and amateur. You really do not need to go to a school to learn how to click. It is having a knack to click at the right time and at the right moment. A good photographer knows when and where to click to get a stunning photo that also looks natural.
For taking a natural photograph, natural sunlight is critical. Photographers have had to wait for several days before taking a photo as the light which would be optimum was not there. Photography involves both the nature and the subject who is being shot. It is the fine balance between the two which can make a photo great or ordinary.
Every photo is a new experience for the photographer as it teaches him what he should do to improve the next time. Photography as a profession has been revolutionized by the advent of digital cameras as these gadgets do a lot on their own and much effort and time of the photographer is saved in arranging different equipment which he used to do earlier.
But even with these amazing digital cameras, a photographer may have to wait for a long time before the crucial things like weather conditions; angle of the sun, amount of sunlight etc. are optimum for the photos to come out the way the photographer wants.
Photography is done for various reasons. It is done for fun, as a hobby, to preserve memories of an event, shoot special moments, to send some message and finally for entertainment.
Though photography is natural and natural photographs are most eye catching, some types of photography like fashion photography, product photography, wedding photography etc. are time based and do not depend upon natural sunlight to complete the job. Photography is an art that is evolving all the time and the introduction of new technology makes it fresh and exciting to those involved in it.

MORE than three-quarters of people in Scotland would back another nationwide lockdown in the event of a second wave of coronavirus, a new poll suggests.
In the study carried out by YouGov, 51% of people "strongly support" the idea of full measures being introduced in the event of a second wave, with a further 25% "somewhat supportive" of the idea.
Meanwhile just under one in ten (8%) of Scots would "strongly oppose" the second lockdown, with another 8% "somewhat opposing" the idea.
The remaining 8% of the responded as "don't know".
The YouGov poll surveyed 4302 adults.
It comes as figures in Scotland revealed there had been no deaths of people who tested positive for the virus recorded in the past week – meaning the toll remains at 2491 – and only one in the past 15 days.
The First Minister described this as the "incredible progress" made since the country went into lockdown.
In the last few weeks Scots have been able to enjoy more freedoms, including the reopening of pubs, restaurants and the tourism sector.
Another YouGov poll of the same number of adults revealed that 10% of people in Scotland would not have a coronavirus vaccine when it became available.
The vast majority – around 67%, said they would take the vaccine, with a further 23% responding as "don't know".

I had a very pleasant domestic help here today who was able to carry on a decent conversation when we had a cup of coffee, and who also liked Tyke and Gandhi very much and the feelings were mutual. Since I am without a steady domestic help, I have had various different ones every week, but the one I had today can come back more often if she wants. She did the work at an easy pace and got everything done within the allotted time. The most important thing was that she did not make me feel nervous while she moved around the apartment.
Although I have recovered from the surgery on my meniscus well, it does seem to have made some impact on me emotionally and for the last three afternoons, I have had to take a low dose of a tranquilizer so that I will be a bit more relaxed. I feel the edge of stress building up and it is not pleasant, but unproductive and bothersome. When the tranquilizer starts to work, I feel a lot of calm and peace of mind and I feel that I can be much more sensibly occupied.
This afternoon, I visited my new bank account and have already memorized my new codes to get into it and use my bank card. I thought that might be a bit of a problem, but it turned out not to be. My brain is still capable of taking it in. It is fun to be in a new virtual environment and to find out how it works, and really, it is all quite logical. There is not much that can go wrong.
I entered the information for the periodic payments that need to be made and it was a piece of cake. Anyone could have done it. I also looked at some of the projects the bank invests in and I must say that they please me very well. I also myself have the opportunity to invest with a low monthly starting amount, but I have to be financially a bit more comfortable before I do. I will try to in the near future. I think I did the right thing by going with this bank and I am pleased about my decision.
I can't believe how quickly the afternoon went by. It feels like I just not too long ago walked Tyke at noontime. It's been such pleasant weather all day with clouds and a cool breeze and none of that hot sunshine. Unfortunately, in two day's time, it's going to be hot again. Woe is me.

Good morning all,
I was handed a project where the owner wants our firm to calculate the fire sprinkler main pipe size.
The building will be a training/dorm facility for a crew (competitive rowing team). The first floor consists of a storage area where the boats will be stored on racks. The second story is basically offices & workout area (light hazard) and the 3rd floor is the dormitories/bedrooms (light hazard).
According to NFPA 13's table A.5.6, boat storage is out of the scope of protection by this standard.
Is there anyway I can treat these crew boats as "wooden rack storage" since they are basically long wooden canoes? This is an assumption for the time being, I'm not sure if they are fiberglass or some other lightweight material. Furthermore, the storage height will not exceed 5ft.
If anyone has any suggestions, reference material or websites that I can use to learn more I'd appreciate it. I am almost a year into Fire Protection and am at a loss as this is the first scenario I've encountered that NFPA 13 considers "out of scope."
Thank you,

House Divided Over Net Neutrality Draft
The House Energy & Commerce Committee Communications Subcommittee spent over three hours Wednesday debating a proposed network neutrality legislation. The main takeaway was that there is no bipartisan agreement on the Republican-backed draft legislation, which would preempt the FCC's ability to reclassify ISPs under Title II.
Most Democrats on the committee took the opportunity to point out that Republicans appeared to be conceding that there was need for net neutrality rules, but most had major issues with the draft, and none came out in support of it in its current form.
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chair of the Subcommittee, and Fred Upton (R-Mich.), chair of the full committee, pointed out that many of the ideas in the draft — no blocking or discrimination and no paid prioritization — came from the first FCC Open Internet order proposed by then Democratic Chairman Julius Genachowski, and were things Democrats, including the President, had been calling for years.

The most basic concept in accounting is "double entry bookkeeping". This is a methodology where by using Debits (DR) and Credits (CR), you can record all transactions that happen in your business. After recording all activities for your business' accounting period, the final balances can then be used to populate financial statements, which is a summary of your business' financial results that you can use to present to key stakeholders, such as investors.
Double entry bookkeeping is not a modern concept. Florentine bankers used this method to keep track of their financial records more than 800 years ago! The first-ever recorded description of "double entry bookkeeping" came from a Croatian named Benedikt Kotruljević, who wrote about this concept in 1458 in his book called Book on the Art of Trade. Then years later, Renaissance man and Italian mathematician Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli popularised the concept of double entry bookkeeping.
So what makes double entry bookkeeping so powerful? The simple answer is that it connects all of the different transactions of a business into a single consistent record. To begin learning double entry bookkeeping, you should first know which accounts are "debit accounts", and which accounts are "credit accounts":
Debit Accounts:
– Asset
– Expense
Credit Accounts:
– Liability
– Equity
– Revenue
As a general rule, if you want to increase the balance of a debit account, you should debit (DR) the account with the transaction amount. If you want to decrease the balance of a debit account, you should then credit (CR) the account with the transaction amount. This principle applies vice versa for credit accounts. See below for some example journal entries:
An asset is purchased using cash for $100.
DR Asset $100
CR Cash ($100)
Revenue is earned in cash for $50.
DR Cash $50
CR Revenue ($50)
Notice how both the DR and CR sides of each journal entry net off to zero exactly? This is the "magic" of double entry bookkeeping. The idea is that after you have recorded all journal entries relating to your business' transactions, your books should "balance". This is because double entry bookkeeping presents the financials of your business in an inter-related way. There are two key concepts created by double entry bookkeeping:
- The assets acquired by your business are funded by a combination of debt and equity.
- Profit/loss from your business is added into equity, which also contributes to the funding of assets.
For example, to demonstrate key concept 1, when you increase your Assets account such as by purchasing an asset (DR Asset), you may increase your debt to fund the purchase (CR Liability). Both sides of this journal entry balances to zero.
As another example, to demonstrate key concept 2, at the end of your business' accounting period, the total net profit/loss in your business should be rolled into your equity account in the form of Retained Earnings*. Therefore, the profit/loss earned increases/decreases the equity balance of your business.
In accounting, the books and records that you need to maintain to keep track of the debit and credit balances of all accounts is called a trial balance. In a trial balance, debit balances are positive amounts, whereas credit balances are negative amounts. This way, when you add up all balances in the trial balance, total should sum up to zero, meaning that your books balanced. If you do see any difference remaining when you sum up your trial balance, you need to investigate this error and resolve it before you can "close the books".
Once you have completed the trial balance for the current accounting period and closed the books, you can then use this trial balance to prepare your financial statements for the same accounting period. I will explain in another blog post about how to prepare financial statements for your business!
* This is another important accounting concept: balances at the end of an accounting period in the Balance Sheet accounts (Assets, Liabilities, Equity) carry forward to the next accounting period, but end of accounting period balances in Profit & Loss accounts (Revenues, Expenses) will be transferred fully into the Equity account. As a result, final Profit & Loss accounts balances should become zero at the end of the current accounting period.

Granite Surface Plates:
- Surface Plate Stands Stationary and rolling stands are available
- Surface Plate Cleaner Keep surface plates and other precision granite products in top condition
- Surface Plate Cover Protect your plates precise flatness and micro-finish from abrasive dust.
Crystal Pink Granite Surface Plates
- Surface Finish
- Even distribution of large quartz crystals provides a smooth finish, which virtually eliminates wear on the surface plate and the instruments used on it. This fine micro-finish, combined with the natural voids in the surface, prevents wringing and provides a velvety-smooth tool action.
- Wear Life
- Our experience with surface plate performance in customers' plants shows that non-quartz-bearing granite in average daily use requires relapping about once a year. Crystal Pink plates used in these same plants have only required relapping once every three- to five years.
Black Granite Surface Plates
- For general inspection work, for working plates throughout the shop and load carrying applications.
- The properties of black granite surface plates include a high modulus of elasticity, tight porosity and very fine grain. Since they contain no crystalline quartz, their wear life is less than that of Crystal Pink. However, they have a very fine finish and meet flatness requirements equally well.

Martha Scribes and the Artist
Martha Scribes was founded in 2002 in the midst of small projects that were done under the previous name of Yovie Martha Lin serving as my signature in all of my artworks since childhood, and then changed to Martha Days in 2013 for which the name came to mean "my works all day". In 2018, I finally settled for good with the name Martha Scribes. It all came together as part of my hobby since childhood in the art world and organizing small tours or events (such as organization's tour and fashion show events). Martha Scribes are currently focusing on calligraphy art, handicraft or handmade goods and design, including sharing calligraphy knowledge through workshops taught by professional calligraphers and Master penmen. With the support from friends and families, I intend to expand the art and calligraphy services worldwide.
The first overseas workshop I organized for Martha Scribes was for a well-known professional calligrapher from USA, Michael G. Ward, which was held in Singapore in March 2018. The success of this workshop lead to other upcoming workshops that you can find in my "Guest Instructors" page or the workshop ticket that you can buy at "Scribes and Beyond" Website, a site in which I partnered with my husband, Victor, to spread the information regarding workshop hosted by me and other organizers throughout the Asia-Pacific region; The site also provides workshops materials, art and calligraphy supplies and my one-of-a-kind personal artworks.

Artist and Calligrapher
/ Y. Martha Laurens
Hi, my name is Yovi Martha Laurens (Martha), I am the founder of Martha Scribes, and I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. I have this passion towards art and handcraft goods ever since I learned oil painting and craftsmanship while in 1990s. I did chalk projects during school time and was a part-timer at a university art gallery in Taiwan, and these experiences have intrigued me to explore deeper my passion in the arts and handcraft world.
In 2000, Inspired by my parents, especially my dad's book collections in ornamental design and my mom in using ornamental design stencils for wedding cake design, and Chinese calligraphy; driven by my passion that ignited on the day I did my DIY wedding in New Zealand, the long research and many trials and error strengthen my knowledge about fine arts, crafts, typography and calligraphy.
I moved to United States in 2013 and with my graphic design background, I strengthen my calligraphy & lettering in 2013, and started to really focus in western calligraphy world ever since.
Amazed by the beautiful Spencerian Script and Ornamental Penmanship, self-taught the script through books, I took the Online Spencerian class with Harvest Crittenden for 6 weeks in early 2016, and IAMPETH convention classes, then Advanced Spencerian Saga which was held for a full week in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio in October 2016.
I am an active member of both ASOC (Australian Society of Calligraphy) since July 2018 and IAMPETH (The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting) since March 2015, and is a recipient of IAMPETH's CERTIFICATE of PROFICIENCY (2019) and CERTIFICATE of EXCELLENCE (2020) in Spencerian Script.
I had been taught by some master-penmen and many professional calligraphers and artists around the world which include Heather Held, Master Pen John DeCollibus, Master Pen Harvest Crittenden, Master Pen Michael Sull, Master Pen Rosemary Buzcek, Toni Watts, and many other international professional teachers.
I am currently based in Australia and sharing my passion in handcrafts, calligraphy art through collaboration with other artists, teaching, creating logo designs, custom order invitation suite design for events worldwide and organizing other talented artists' workshops through the nonprofit organization in Sydney as the president and one of the founder of Sydney Scribes Society.

Welcome to our new trustees
Kass Ardinger & Matt Leahy!
Kass Ardinger
Kass Ardinger learned to play the piano on an upright Steinway, inherited from her great-grandmother -- the same piano that her mother had played and that, later on, Kass's kids would play.
"Music was very meaningful for me,"says Kass. "And it was a great foundation for higher education. As we know now, it certainly does all the right things for developing brains."

Matt Leahy
When Matt Leahy thinks of the Music School, he thinks of the many positive teacher-student relationships he's observed there over the years -- at first, between his kids and their percussion teacher, John Faggiano.
"Then we'd go to the student recitals, and I could see how other teachers interacted with their students,"says Matt. "You could tell teachers just loved doing what they were doing, and therefore the kids really enjoyed being part of it."

A rogue calf went on the lam in Brooklyn Tuesday — breaking free from its captors and causing a rodeo-style ruckus in the heart of stroller mom turf.
The cow escaped from a slaughterhouse on Fourth Avenue near 16th Street in Park Slope and hoofed it to the Prospect Expressway and then south towards Prospect Park, police sources said.
The NYPD's Emergency Services Unit cops shot the bull with an air-powered tranquilizer pistol and corralled it into a horse trailer near the park's parade grounds at around 1:30 p.m.
As cops tried to wrangle the bold bovine, it slammed into a soccer goal and knocked over a female police officer, according to witnesses.
"He took me down when he crashed into the soccer net," the cop said, adding she wasn't injured. "Just my pride [was hurt]!"
A crowd of 200 people gathered to watch the barnyard drama unfold. Many of them gasped when the bull was struck with tranquilizers.
A live video showed the creature standing in a soccer field, looking confused — as at least six officials closed in on him and four helicopters hovered overhead.
"The poor thing, he don't know what to do — and neither do the cops! We need a cowboy," said neighbor Yvonne Felix, 42.
The bull will be taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary in Wantage, NJ, an official said.
The NYPD's Emergency Services Unit cop had the bull cornered — with tranquilizer guns drawn —near Caton Avenue and Stratford Road at around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Animal Care Center workers were also on site.
To catch the creature, cops blocked off a section of Caton Avenue, snarling traffic and irking drivers.
A wild photo shot from above shows the bold bovine kicking up dust on a street near Prospect Park, according to ABC7NY, which tweeted the image.
Another photo shows the creature bolting under an overpass near several parked cars, according to a tweet from Boro Park News.
On Tuesday afternoon, the bull had earned its own Twitter page, which declared, "NYPD MOVING IN…Let's MOOOVE!"

For immediate publication
Toronto - The Ontario Human Rights Commission released a Consultation Report today called Strengthening Ontario's Human Rights System: What We Heard. It reflects the feedback of a broad range of individuals and organizations that participated in a critical review of Ontario's human rights system.
"For a number of years now, I have requested changes to the human rights system to enable it to work more effectively," remarked Chief Commissioner Keith Norton. "I, therefore, welcome the government's commitment to improve Ontario's human rights system."
"People spoke passionately from different perspectives about the system for protecting human rights in this province but were adamant about wanting further opportunity to provide input and be part of the process for reform," said Mr. Norton.
The Commission initiated a review of Ontario's human rights system on August 23, 2005 with the release of a Discussion Paper and questionnaire. The review was intended to clarify the principles and issues that must be considered in any reform of the human rights system. A total of 31 individuals participated in three focus groups and 56 submissions were made in response to the questionnaire.
It is clear from the review that our current human rights system needs strengthening. What is less clear is the best way to accomplish this goal. There was general consensus that a reformed human rights system should be: independent; adequately resourced; harmonized with international obligations; filling a cooperative role in the promotion of human rights; accessible, regardless of disability, financial means, geography, language, culture or other power imbalances; effectively able to address systemic issues; expert and representative; timely; flexible in its approach to human rights complaints; and able to resolve simple cases more easily.
"We must remember that Ontario has an historic reputation of breaking new ground in the area of human rights. With almost half a century of experience in this field, it has offered and continues to offer much nationally as well as internationally. We now have a unique opportunity to build on this reputation and take steps that will ensure a renewed human rights system for the people of Ontario," said Norton.

IAF strikes more Hamas targets in Gaza in response to mortar fire
The Israel Air Force struck four Hamas targets in the northern Gaza Strip early Thursday morning, for the second time over the past 24 hours.
The airstrike came after senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk declared on Wednesday night that the IDF will pull back from the Gaza border and in return, the different Palestinian factions in the Strip would cease fire after six mortar shells were launched at Israeli troops operating near the border fence throughout the day Wednesday.
"What is happening on the eastern border of the Gaza Strip is an Israeli attempt to set new facts on the ground, over 150 meters away from the border. This is what caused our men to enter this confrontation, to prevent their bulldozers from perpetuating this conduct," Abu Marzouk said.
According to Abu Marzouk, Egypt helped mediate the renewed ceasefire. "Egypt's response was quick and serious and returned the situation to what it was before," he said.
Israel did not comment on Abu Marzouk's claims.
Earlier, sources in Gaza reported that the IDF had begun withdrawing its forces from the border area following the Hamas ceasefire announcement, aided by drone covering fire.
While none were hurt on the Israeli side from the mortar shell fire, the IDF responded with tank fire at Hamas military posts throughout the day Wednesday. In the evening hours of Wednesday, the IAF attacked five targets in the southern Gaza in the Dahaniya airport area, near Rafah.
In light of the escalation on the border, the IDF declared the area from the Sa'ad Junction to the border, near the Gaza City neighborhood of Saja'iyya, a closed military zone. This is a move taken in the area whenever the situation on the border escalates, due to its proximity to the fence, but is still considered an unusual one since Operation Protective Edge.
This was also the first time Hamas has fired into Israel since Operation Protective Edge, after its men vigorously enforced the ceasefire over the past year and a half.
The IDF estimated that the mortar fire throughout the day Wednesday was directly aimed at IDF troops during engineering work in the border fence area in search of any other Hamas tunnels crossing into Israeli territory. These operations are taking place in several different spots along the border since Protective Edge, but it was only over the past 24 hours or so that it garnered a violent response from the Palestinians.
Israeli defense official stressed on Wednesday night that the IDF intends to continue its operations along the border fence, and estimated the mortar fire will continue in the coming days.
Hamas is worried that its most significant strategic asset against Israel, the border-crossing attack tunnels, will be located and destroyed by the IDF in the coming months. This will be done thanks to an Israeli technological breakthrough on the issue, which led to the increase of pressure in the Gaza Strip to stop Israeli operations.
Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, released a statement on Wednesday following the escalation on the border, vowing not to allow Israel to continue its "aggression."
"Israel must leave Gazan territory immediately," the statement said. The Qassam Brigades accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement reached at the end of Operation Protective Edge.

Just when Amazon investors were getting used to bigger-than-expected profits, CEO Jeff Bezos failed to deliver.
The Seattle e-commerce giant's fourth-quarter earnings sorely missed Wall Street's expectations, sending its shares tumbling 14 percent in after-hours trades.
That's despite a 22-percent revenue increase as shoppers increasingly flocked online for holiday purchases — and shunned brick-and-mortar stores such as Walmart and Macy's.
Despite Amazon's big sales gain, investors had been hoping for more. Fourth-quarter revenue of $35.75 billion slightly missed analysts' forecast of $35.93 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Meanwhile, the company's profit of $482 million, or $1 a share — the company's third straight quarter of profitability — was more than double the year earlier $214 million, or 42 cents a share. Nevertheless, it fell painfully short of projections of $1.56 a share.
Amazon's stock, which had surged nearly 9 percent to $635.35 in the regular session Thursday, dropped below $550 in after-market trades.
A bright spot was the company's cloud-computing division, Amazon Web Services. The unit, which powers Web sites and mobile apps for thousands of startups and big corporations alike, posted net sales of $2.4 billion, up 69 percent from a year earlier.
Amazon execs still got quizzed about the earnings miss. They partly blamed rising costs associated with storing and delivering goods for third-party sellers on its site.
"It put a lot of demand on our warehouses — we were completely full," Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky told analysts.
Relentless spending on its distribution network, which has carpeted the nation with huge warehouses, has taken on new projects including a high-tech initiative to use flying drones to deliver packages.
Accordingly, expenses continue to surge. Shipping costs were up 37 percent to $4.17 billion, rising as a percentage of sales to 12.5 percent from 10.9 percent a year earlier.

All the times Cardi B has broken records in music, so far
It's official: The Bronx-born rapper Cardi B, with her "tell it like it is" attitude, is not a novelty act. Her quick ascent to fame, coupled with her viral debut single after signing with Atlantic Records, "Bodak Yellow," had some people questioning whether or not she would be a one hit wonder. A lot of those conflicting opinions centered around her come up in the industry. To some, it was almost unbelievable that a stripper was able to capitalize off of her personality, build a solid social media empire, leave dancing behind, and pivot to a full time music career. While it may now be easier to change your life with the help of social media, Cardi B's story is unique—a fact that cannot be ignored.
Quite a few moments have let people know that the rapper isn't going anywhere. For starters, Cardi was nominated for two Grammys in January, got featured in an Amazon Super Bowl commercial, and was deemed one of the most influential people in the game by Time. In the magazine's brief writeup about the rapper in their list of 2018's Most Influential People, Golden Globe-winning actress Taraji P. Henson closed the piece by writing, "Cardi B's here to stay, baby, and I'm happy to be a witness."
I, too, am happy to witness the rise of a woman who embodies many of the things society tells us not to be. And her success is not all in my head, either.
Cardi B has broken big records in the music industry, further proving her dominance and talent.
Here are all of the times the Invasion of Privacy rapper has set new records for the music industry…so far.
1Cardi is the first solo female rapper to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in nearly 20 years.
"Bodak Yellow," Cardi B's first single from her debut album Invasion of Privacy, was all over the radio last year. I couldn't go more than 20 minutes without hearing it blare from a car on the streets of New York. But it was much more than a fun summer song. In October 2017, it was announced that Cardi B had reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The last woman to do this was Lauryn Hill in 1998.
2She currently wears the crown for most simultaneous Billboard U.S. Hot 100 entries by a female artist.
After slaying the stage at Coachella, Cardi B broke a record set by the one and only Beyoncé. According to Guinness World Records, Cardi currently has the most simultaneous Billboard U.S. Hot 100 entries by a woman. Queen Bey's Lemonade cranked out 12 entries, while the rapper's debut album (plus a track with Bruno Mars) gave her a baker's dozen of number one hits. Who said 13 is an unlucky number?
3Cardi broke another Queen Bey record.
Get this: Bardi also became the woman with the most simultaneous Billboard U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Top 10 entries. Drippin' in finesse, indeed.
4The rapper broke records on Apple Music twice.
When Cardi released Invasion of Privacy on Atlantic Records, it gained 100 million streams on Apple Music in its first seven days of being available to the public—breaking the record for most first-week plays for a female artist on Apple Music and surpassing previous record holder, Taylor Swift. Eventually, Invasion of Privacy earned the title of Apple Music's fifth most streamed album of all time.
5She has since become the first woman in hip hop to have three number one songs on the Billboard charts.
This past summer, Cardi's cross-cultural hit, "I Like It," blew up and hit number one. This time was maybe even more special than her last record-breaking chart topper, since the rapper became the first female hip hop artist to reach number one twice. She exceeded Lil' Kim, Shawnna, Lauryn Hill, and Iggy Azalea, according to Billboard. Cardi also shared this success with Latin acts J Balvin and Bad Bunny, who received their first number ones for "I Like It".
But third time is a charm, right? When Maroon 5 released their pop jam, "Girls Like You," in May 2018, they recruited Cardi B for the remix and released a video (that was recorded in the midst of Cardi's highly publicized pregnancy). Then, on September 24th, the Cardi-featuring track reached number one. Cardi broke her own record, y'all. She is the first female rapper to have three number ones on Billboard's singles chart.
Keep going, Cardi.
