HAMPTON, VA /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When a swimsuit manufacturer wanted to create a better fabric for competitive swimmers, it sought out some unlikely experts—aerospace engineers at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA.
NASA has decades of experience in fluid dynamics and drag reduction. However, aerospace engineers usually concentrate on the element airplanes and spacecraft fly through, not the liquid swimmers travel through. Ironically, some of the science is similar.
"Air and water are both what are referred to as Newtonian fluids," said Steve Wilkinson, a researcher at Langley's Fluid Physics and Control Branch. "Air has different fluid properties than water, including lower density and viscosity, but it still obeys the same physical laws of motion."
That fact led Warnaco Inc. of New York, the U.S. licensee of the Speedo swimwear brand, to seek use of a NASA wind tunnel at Langley to test swimsuit fabrics that may be used by athletes in international competitions.
"We evaluated the surface roughness effects of nearly 60 fabrics or patterns in our small low-speed tunnel, which is perfect for this purpose," Wilkinson said. "We were assessing which fabrics and weaves had the lowest drag."
Reducing drag helps planes fly more efficiently and swimmers go faster. Studies indicate viscous drag, or skin friction, is about one-third of the total restraining force on a swimmer. Wind tunnel tests measure the drag on the surface of the fabrics.
Wilkinson and other NASA researchers usually spend their time studying drag reduction for airplanes. They've even worked on drag-reduction technology for boats, including an America's Cup winner in the 1980s. This expertise is one reason Speedo chose to work with NASA.
"This is the first time I've tested a fabric, and there were some challenges involved," said Wilkinson. "I think we've done a really good job with the help of Speedo in coming up with a protocol that enables us to test these fabrics with ease and precision."
The materials tested come in the form of tubes. Wilkinson stretches the tubes over a smooth, flat aluminum plate and then secures the edges with smooth metal rails and tape to form a precise rectangular model shape. Wilkinson runs the material through a number of wind speeds and, with the help of sensors, measures drag on the surface. Under a reimbursable agreement, NASA turns the wind tunnel data over to Speedo for their use.
"It turns out to simulate a swimmer in the water at about two meters per second, we need to run the wind tunnel at about 28 meters per second, which is well within its capability," Wilkinson added. "The tests generally have shown the smoother the fabric, the lower the drag."
Speedo International's research and development team, Aqualab, took those results and used them to help create a new swimsuit the company says is its most hydro-dynamically advanced to date.
Video of Speedo fabric testing will be available on the NASA TV videofile. For downlink and scheduling information and links to streaming video, visit NASA's Web site.

Right after the jury's verdict has been recorded, the trial judge will tell the jurors that now they are free to discuss the case with anyone, including trial counsel. Don't miss the chance to have these postverdict chats — they are very useful and may even be crucial.
Getting juror feedback can be invaluable, particularly if defense counsel is contemplating a motion for new trial based on juror misconduct or if there has been a mistrial. Both sides can benefits from what jurors thought of their trial presentation.
Of course, you need to be open, friendly, calm, and an active listener to get the information needed from the jurors. Here are some open-ended questions you may want to ask the jurors:
- What were the two or three key portions of the evidence (witness, exhibit, etc.) that led you to the verdict? or Why did you find [the Defendant] guilty/liable?
- Who was the most important witness? Why?
- What did you find believable from each side's case? Why?
- What was not believable from each side's case? Why?
- What evidence could each side have produced that would have changed your verdict?
- What could I have done better as a lawyer in this case?
- What was the best thing that the successful side did in terms of being able to convince you to vote guilty/liable?
Always keep a professional tone in these communications. Remember, you don't have a right to talk to jurors and the trial judge will have instructed them that they don't have to speak with you.
Juror feedback is an unmatched opportunity; it may not always be easy to hear what they have to say, but if you take it as constructive criticism, it can really up your game in court.
On post-verdict juror interviewing, go to CEB's California Criminal Law Procedure and Practice §29.59.

CLEVELAND-- A short phone call changed her life.
"I'm Amanda Berry. I've been kidnapped, I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now," she told dispatch.
What followed was a whirlwind of reunions and a media frenzy. But it eventually calmed down. Now, five years later, Berry is still trying to soak it all in.
"It was so much, so fast and it was so surreal. Because it was all I wanted for 10 years and to finally have that? It was just amazing," Berry said.
Her new freedom was a major adjustment. Returning home left her feeling like she was still 16 years old, the age when she was kidnapped.
"In the first year, it was so hard to just go out and live a normal life because I was still so scared of all the possibilities, everything that could go wrong. The scary things," Berry said.
"I think now I'm getting a little more comfortable in my skin, making decisions for myself. That was really hard in the beginning, making decisions for myself because being told what you're doing for 10 years, what you're eating, when you're going to sleep. I mean, all those things get to you and you kinda get used to it and that's your normal."
Berry's experiences mean she doesn't take anything for granted: fresh air, rain and waking up to make her own choices. Sometimes, she pauses to appreciate the simple moments.
"Walking out my front door, feeling the sunshine because, gosh, I waited for that for so long," she said. "I mean, it's just the small things: To get in my car, to take my daughter to the store. If I want something to drink I can go to the store and get it myself, and drink what I want or eat what I want. It's so simple that you don't think. Or brushing your teeth. I remember brushing my teeth and taking a shower, and I just felt so good."
Her responsibilities as a mother helped her find a sense of normalcy. Her daughter has become a kind-hearted and somewhat sassy girl.
"I'm so proud of how much she's grown as a person. She's very caring. And a lot of kids her age are not like that and I find that she is," Berry said.

Solano Resource Conservation District"s 2014 Solano County Creek Biomonitoring Program is working with 300 high school and junior college students to study macroinvertebrates in local creeks.
Macroinvertebrates are small animals without a backbone that you can see with the naked eye.
Students study creek ecology and learn what the tiny aquatic insects tell about the health of local creeks in their watershed. Almost all of these students also participated in restoration work in the Blue Rock Springs Creek Corridor in Vallejo, working with Solano RCD restoration staff to help plant 12,000 native grass plugs and 1,200 trees and shrubs.
This is the eighth year of the biomonitoring program, and given California"s ongoing drought state and the late storms of this season, our student citizen scientists may see some interesting things in their field work. Up in the mountains, rainfall results in increased diversity of macroinvertebrate populations, and all the populations that rely on macroinvertebrates for food. In urban areas, it works a little differently. The rain events of March and April created perfect conditions for flash flooding in several study creeks. Even though the creek ecosystems greatly need the water, the intensity of its arrival could mean that when the rainwater reached the creeks, via storm drains after landing on streets and pavement, it was carrying pollutants from the streets, and came so quickly it may have scoured the creeks, district officials said. Neither of these situations is good for creek health, and the scouring can wash away macroinvertebrates, reducing diversity and leaving smaller populations to study. Students will be collecting their data in the upcoming weeks, which will reveal the impact of the early spring storms.
District officials said the effort at monitoring is approaching the 5 year point, when data sets are considered "long term" and can yield more insights.
Students from Benicia High, Fairfield High, Vallejo High, Jesse Bethel High and Solano Community College are participating in this year"s hands-on, CA Standards based program. The program begins with a watershed walk where students are introduced to watershed, stream ecology and restoration concepts. Participants then follow a highly focused curriculum to learn about stream ecology and macroinvertebrates. After completing the classroom portion of the program, students will complete the California Streamside Biosurvey for their study creek to measure the health of the waterway using a protocol in use throughout the state.
This element of the program takes place during in a full-day trip to a local creek, where students perform physical, chemical, and biological assessments on the waterway. The Biosurvey tool, employs a "catch and release" method of study, and is used with guidance from Dr. Patrick Edwards of Portland State University, creator of the method. This technique is a non-lethal method for evaluating water quality. The Biosurvey has three components, all of which are assessed in the field. First, participants undertake a biological survey, collecting and analyzing benthic macroinvertebrates. Next, students complete a habitat assessment, evaluating the physical characteristics of the stream"s substrate, flow, banks, and riparian zones. The final component involves chemical analysis to test creek water for dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, turbidity, phosphates, and nitrates. Dr. Edwards will be examining long-term patterns in macroinvertabrate communities at the conclusion of the 2014 field season.
Biology students from Solano Community College, Vallejo Campus completed the monitoring component of the program in mid-April. The rest of the participants will perform their monitoring component in May.
The program is funded by the Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District and Solano Community College in partnership with the Solano County Office of Education. Their generosity allows students to see first-hand evidence of trash and invasive species, and the harm these elements cause creeks and the animals that rely on them. It provides and opportunity for students to learn about creek science with hands-on experience, and helps participants gain new perspective of their own role in their watershed- as residents and stewards, exposing them to concrete evidence of the connection between the science they learn in school and the world where they live.
Those interested in attending a field trip to see a biomonitoring exercise in process, should contact Marianne Butler at 301.5778.

For a while, binging on My Mad, Fat Diary, was a great fix for late 90s BritPop music. The Stone Roses, Suede, Oasis, Blur, etc. I was heading downtown on a sunny, Summer day. Weather was really pleasant, not too hot, not too cool. Hard not to be put in a good mood.
The iPod was on shuffle and the mix was random enough. Not too much of any particular genre playing in a row. I got off the bus and made my way up from the underground tunnel to a relatively quiet scene. People walking their dogs, heading back to the office after lunch to try and make it to 5 o'clock. Then "Moving" from Supergrass came on.
I wasn't paying much attention to it at first. Kinda put it in the back of my head as I made my way to Starbucks for a quick lunch before my appointment at the barber. The song started out peaceful and in a weird way matched what the weather was doing. Then about a minute in, it kicks off…and it caught me off guard to the point I was bobbing my head without noticing. I realized this song needed a couple more listens. And listen I did. To that pure BritPop sound.
It must have been about 5 times in a row before I let the iPod get back to it's regular shuffle. Through the rest of the day, the melody and lyrics kept creeping back into my head and I couldn't figure out why. Nothing can explain the feeling when you find a new song or band and you want to make it part of you. The closest I can describe it would be that first couple of weeks when you are dating a new partner. You don't know what to expect in the future, but right now it's fun, there are no expectations from either side. The band that you picked up on today could turn out to be a one night stand or a partner in your music library for life.
Turns out "Moving" was on one of the many UK Import compilations I've collected over the years. Didn't have any of their tracks anywhere else, that was the only one I had. I picked up I Should Coco & In It For The Money online that night and started giving a listen. I really liked what I was hearing until I had listened to each album a couple of times through until I realized I have a problem.
The problem I have been having lately is that I find myself almost hoarding music. I know it sounds weird, it's almost as if I want to have it all, or at least listen to it all. And I have come to the realization that will never happen. Not even a chance of it. I've been buying compilations and albums that interest me or at least I think they do. I'll listen to it and get to the next one. Almost like a drug addict looking for their next fix, not enjoying the high they are in at the moment. Not to get too existential, we aren't guaranteed how much time we have on this "3rd rock from the sun". Our time could be up tomorrow and we won't know it until it happens.
I need to slow down on collecting music but I don't know how…and I am unsure if I want to.

Funds generated from gambling activities have enabled the government to carry out development projects for it citizens. The government ensures that the players have to pay some amount of money from their wins as a tax. Some countries have been able to increase development projects for the people who do you do funds generated from taxes from gamblers.

After a lull in activity Saturday evening, bands of precipitation are moving south to north across southern Colorado to start Sunday.
Temperatures are expected to remain at or below the freezing mark throughout the day, with bands of freezing rain expected in much of the area. Two- to three-tenths of an inch of ice will build up from the rain, with the highest amounts occurring in Prowers and Baca Counties. Southeast Kiowa County may also see the higher amounts.
At 5:30 a.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation was showing many southeast Colorado highways as having icy conditions. Highway 287 between Kit Carson and Wiley was reported as being dry. Snowplows were active throughout the area; however, some minor highways will not see plows before sunrise. Highways generally have signs indicating areas for which plowing does not take place overnight.
Rain turns to snow Sunday night as the temperature falls into the low to mid-20s. Four to six inches of snow falls on top of a layer of ice over most of the plains. Six to eight inches of snow are expected in Las Animas County.
Snow will continue Monday, gradually changing to rain as the temperature rises into the 30s. Precipitation will diminish later in the day. Originally expected to be significantly stronger, wind will be out of the north at 10 to 15 miles-per-hour.
A warm up starts Tuesday as a high-pressure system, currently over the west coast, crosses the area. High temperatures will be in the 40s to low 50s through Saturday.

TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei surged to a seven-week high on Monday morning after the United States and China on the weekend suspended new tariffs and agreed to try reaching a trade deal within 90 days, which lifted global cyclical stocks.
The Nikkei share average soared 1.4% to 22,647.29 in mid-morning trade, after touching 22,677.29, the highest level since Oct 18.
The White House said President Donald Trump told China's President Xi Jinping at the G20 talks in Argentina that he would not boost tariffs on US$200 billion (RM836 billion) of Chinese goods to 25% on Jan 1, as previously planned.
Japanese cyclical stocks such as those in tech, autos and machinery that have large exposure to the Chinese market outperformed.
Hitachi Ltd and TDK Corp surged 5%, and Toyota Motor Corp advanced 3.5%. Honda Motor added 2%, Fanuc Corp 2.5% and Yaskawa Electric 3.1%.
The US-China truce "is raising investors' risk appetite especially on stocks that have underperformed lately," said Yoshinori Shigemi, a global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management.
"In the mid-term, there are concerns that new tariffs will start after 90 days, but the market also expects China to come up with a stimulus programme before then."
Apart from trade, Shigemi said that investors have taken heart from comments by US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as hinting at a slower pace of rate hikes.
"Investors were concerned about trade and Fed's policy, so right now with the two major worries receding, the environment is favourable for stocks now," Shigemi said.
Renesas Electronics, which has deepened a push into semiconductors for self-driving cars, jumped 11%. Nikkei Electronics quoted President Bunsei Kure as saying it will strive to stay on top in the self-driving field.

Swept Along on the Highway of Life
I was driving into work not long ago and came across what I thought was a metaphor for life. I hit the road early, shortly before 7 a.m. on a beautiful spring morning to get a head start on my day. There was not a cloud in the sky, but there was a little chill in the air, and as I made my way east on the outer-belt I was struck by the fact that there were very few cars on the road. Seeing that made me glad I'd decided to head to the office early. Unlike some major cities, Columbus traffic isn't bad at all if you leave a little earlier than normal. When I do that I can make it from my driveway to the State Auto parking lot, nearly a 15-mile journey; in 20 minutes or less if there are no accidents or road construction.
As I enjoyed my coffee, alone with my thoughts, I noticed there were cars well behind me and some a good distance in front. Like most people I don't quite adhere to the speed limit so I was going about 70 mph in a 65 mph zone. The further I drove the more I noticed the cars behind me continuing to gain on me until all of a sudden I was surrounded by cars.
This applies to much more than just the highway. You might be reading this feeling a bit of pride because you don't change your driving habits based on the habits of other drivers but there are many ways consensus might be at work on you:
- Do you stand during standing ovations…even when you didn't like the performance? Most people do.
- Does your dress conform to those around you? If you doubt it just loo
k at some old photos and you might be hit with this thought, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit?"
- Have you ever tried a restaurant dish because, "It's our most popular menu item"? Part of reason the dish remains so popular is that little phrase used by the server.
- If you've had a question have you ever held it until a few others asked questions first? It's amazing how group dynamics change after one person breaks the ice.
- Excessive speeding can be dangerous to us and others.
- For teens, wanting to fit in can lead to bad choices when it comes to drinking, drugs and sex.
- Following the crowd at work because "everybody does it" can cost you your job.

Onvan I m Not Scared Nevisande Niccol _ Ammaniti ISBN 1400075637 ISBN13 9781400075638 Dar 200 Safhe Saal e Chap 2001
I m not sure how to describe this book Is it a shattering of innocence, a coming of age story, a mystery, a suspense novel or is it all of these I was drawn into the story immediately by the short terse prose, the descriptions of the countryside and the dialogue and actions of the young children in the story Ammaniti, has captured with accuracy the actions and thoughts of a child who is caught in an adult situation As the reader you are viewing the events from the eyes of nine year old Michelle [...]
A real horror Evil is committed in pursuit of the good , the victims are innocent and young, their innocence lost in the most painful way possible, and the story ends without any expectation of redemption or happiness for anyone.And what a unique and brilliant narration The author inhabits the mind of a nine year old boy and tells the story like a real nine year old Reminded me of Esther Freud s Hideous Kinky but with really something extraordinary it doesn t take Niccolo Ammaniti whole paragrap [...]
A poignant coming of age story about the loss of innocence of a rural Italian boy The tale is told with enough balance as to be emotionally and intellectually engaging without being overly sentimental.The style comes across as so effortless and the plot is so well handled, that one almost feels as if this could very well really have happened, which makes the chilling and ironic conclusion feel even shocking and resonantd since truth is stranger than fiction, who knows, perhaps it did happen and [...]
Set during the heat wave in the summer of 1978, in rural Italy nine year old Michele and his friends pretty much have the countryside to themselves The parents stay in and try to alleviate the heat in whatever ways they can Michele is only concerned about today, like most children and does not yet think about the wider picture, world events or other things that have affected his town His only concern is having to drag his little sister everywhere, his friend Salvatore and the unelected leader of [...]
Despite its title, I m scared and so is Michele, the 9 year old narrator of this suspenseful story It s fast paced and wild, and you can t help but be pulled in immediately and with full heart and soul.Ammaniti knows how to create a grim story that has a loveable, heroic boy at its center And he knows how to keep you sitting on the edge of your seat The book is scary, but addictive It reads like a nightmarish fairytale There s good versus evil all over the place There s one small good guy agains [...]

Well, he may not be scared but call me utterly terrifed I find it hard to believe the book could be better or even equal to the film which I ve seen twice and I wasn t any less scared the second time.I must confess that I ve done no than flick through the book and check the odd scene here and there Sorry, book, but the visual spectacle of the film simply outdoes in spades anything you can do in words The first thing I wanted to do when I saw this film was give it to my father It was a story of [...]
I read this book for my Italian class Reading in another language, especially it being my first time reading a full length novel in Italian in this case, was a really rewarding experience and it allowed me to experience one of my favorite activities in a completely different way I read this with a pencil in hand and circled all of the words I didn t understand there were quite a few I hope to do this again in the near future, with Italian and other languages, because I really enjoyed the challen [...]
Sizzling story of a childhood and the horrid events that changed the aspects of the growing up process in one boy s eyes Great story telling
This is one of the best thrillers I have read this year This book is translated from the Italian version The suspense in this book was not overpowering It s not one of those fast pace modern day thrillers It opens in a small isolated Italian town where a 10 year old boy discovers a secret in an abandoned farmhouse He struggles to keep it a secret and to make sense out of what he has discovered The descriptions of the prairie and the region are so wonderful that I could actually imagine being the [...]
Perfect for the learner, as this is written from a child s viewpoint which means the language is not too precious or over literary and you get to learn some of the earthy expletives but not the truly disgusting ones that barely figure in polite beginners books On top of that, it is extremely exciting, so tense that you are forced to push on to find out what happens After the first couple of chapters I blithely ignored all that precious vocabulary that I didn t know and really ought to look up, i [...]
I d been looking forward to reading this book for quite a while Knowing it was about a young child who discovers a boy being kept hostage prisoner in a hole and and what unfolds next was enough to significantly grab my attention.Reading it however was a completely different experience and a major disappointment Set in Italy, the translation from Italian to English is extremely noticeable and often interrupts the natural flow of the descriptive sections of the novel The setting and location felt [...]
Stop all this talk about monsters, Michele Monsters don t exist It s men you should be afraid of, not monsters This coming of age story is translated from the Italian by Jonathan Hunt A bunch of kids are out riding their bikes in a tiny village in Southern Italy On a dare one of them enters an abandoned farmhouse and stumbles upon something horrible The protagonist of this story is a nine year old boy, and themes explored include the loss of childhood innocence, and the confusion of trying to ma [...]
Svaki puta kada uzmem knjigu od Niccola Ammanitia u ruke, budem doslovno iznena ena nenadma nom snagom njegovog pisanja Ni jedna njegova knjiga me nije ostavila ravnodu nom, pa tako ni ova Uvijek mi se svi aju njegovi likovi koje on vje to opisuje Od onih negativnih kojih u ovoj knjizi ima podosta , pa do pozitivaca koji izgledaju kao da se ne mogu sasvim uklopiti u surovi svijet oko sebe.Mene osobno najvi e poga a zlostavljanje i otmica djece, a ovdje se upravo o tome i radi.U malenom talijansk [...]
Ammaniti chooses a 9 year old boy as narrator and hero of his story of a kidnapping gone wrong in a rural part of southern Italy in a hot summer of the late 1970s.We could do whatever we liked No cars ever went by There were no dangers And the grown ups stayed shut up indoors, like toads waiting for the heat to die down.Of great appeal is what goes on in the mind of a boy of that age It is story of innocence lost, as he is just beginning to sort out right from wrong, and real fears from imagined [...]

Spaventoso Non c altra parola per descrivere il romanzo di Niccol Ammaniti Io non ho paura afferma il titolo, ma non vero Il protagonista impaurito e lo siamo anche noi.Il romanzo si svolge durante gli anni di piombo Il narratore Michele un bambino di nove anni che vive con la sua famiglia nel mezzogiorno d Italia in un piccolo paese chiamato Acqua Traverse Ma un nome ironico perch c solo una cisterna e non ha piovuto per tutta l estate l estate pi calda del secolo e gli adulti si chiudono in ca [...]
A small town kidnapping tale, told from the POV of an ickle boy What vexes me about narrators close to the child s perspective is that the narrator is usually a grown up narrating their childhood from twenty or so years on The same is true here the grown up Michele is narrating his childhood twenty odd years later My question why would a grown up write his story with such a close childhood POV unless he was a writer who had consciously taken that decision to sustain such a narrative position and [...]
This book is a coming of age tale about a young boy who stumbles upon a dark secret with links to his family I hate to give away too much because the book is short and the plot should be a surprise.It is well written with a beautiful sense of time, place and characterization The main character of the story is a nine year old boy enjoying a sweltering summer with his friend s and younger sister who is torn by the things he learns He makes choices that I thought were very realistically written fro [...]
Ho rimandato forever la recensione di questo libro, colpevolmente ma non del tutto intenzionalmente la stupida tastiera del mio pc ha smesso di funzionare e scrivere recensioni senza L n Z n maiuscole tende ad essere complesso , e quindi ora ovviamente la spinta iniziale si esaurita All indomani della lettura avrei potuto scrivere un papiro credo pi lungo del romanzo stesso per recensirlo, ormai passato un mese, per cui mi contengo, ma le piacevolissime sensazioni provate durante la lettura sono [...]
Ik was eigenlijk niet zo in de mood voor dit boek Misschien op een later moment nog eens lezen, dan is m n beoordeling misschien hoger.
Una novela brutal desarrollada en un entorno desolador y duro Unos ni os y el fin de la inocencia El descubrimiento de que los monstruos existen y tienen forma humana.

Hi there. The post is timely and helped a great deal. I however have one or two questions.ReplyDelete
One, you gave an example of "The boy who came late today was flogged". Following the MHQ pattern of the nominal group, do we say "The boy who came late today" is a nominal group or clause; putting into consideration the fact that "who came late today" operates within a nominal group. Thanks.
"The boy who came late today" is a nominal group. It is an MHQ (Modifier, Headword, Qualifier) type of nominal group. "The" is the modifier. "Boy" is the headword. And "who came late today", although an adjectival clause, is the qualifier. This adjectival clause has shifted in its rank twice. It is functioning as a qualifier in the nominal group and as a clause in the sentence "The boy who came late today was flogged." Thanks.ReplyDelete

Downlink performance of dense antenna deployment: To distribute or concentrate?
PIMRC 2017, IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, October 8-13, 2017, Montreal, QC, Canada
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive MIMO) and small cell densification are complementary key 5G enablers. Given a fixed number of the entire basestation antennas per unit area, this paper fairly compares (i) to deploy few base stations (BSs) and concentrate many antennas on each of them, i.e. massive MIMO, and (ii) to deploy more BSs equipped with few antennas, i.e. small cell densification. We observe that small cell densification always outperforms for both signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) coverage and energy efficiency (EE), when each BS serves multiple users via L number of sub-bands (multicarrier transmission). Moreover, we also observe that larger L increases SIR coverage while decreasing EE, thus urging the necessity of optimal 5G network design. These two observations are based on our novel closed-form SIR coverage probability derivation using stochastic geometry, also validated via numerical simulations.

The arrival of new technology consistently brings about both opportunities and challenges for businesses and end-users. But, throughout this era of major technological change, one aspect remains a constant for the IT industry: the employment skills gap.
Today, 91 per cent of IT hiring managers in the U.S. express some level of discrepancy between the skills employees possess and those the company needs, according to a recent analysis from CompTIA. This is an ongoing issue that has come about because of the fast and frequent changes occurring in the industry. Organisations require workers who are well versed in foundational concepts such as infrastructure, networking and the cloud, but also niche and emerging areas including responsive design, data visualization and cognitive computing.

text: Smallpatch 7,917 Report post #1 Posted June 12, 2019 We decided to forget about the yearly craft fair but since I am needing something to pass the time I started looking in those boxes people fill up then shove back in the corners of their shop for many reasons.... So this is a box of scroll sawed things I had planned on filling up with epoxy and embedding keepsake things people like to save?? These Texas and other shapes of cutouts have lots of hours of thinking in to making them and I have a box of peoples names and other trinkets which was to be floating around inside them...We found people will let go of their money easier if they see their names imbedded in things like these... Finally got rid of my camper so this 30 x 62 barn sits there beggin me to come work in all of it instead of just one end of it for my wood shop. Did I mention it has rained more this year than the previous 5 years...

The Soldiers' Memorial officially opened in downtown St. Louis on Memorial Day in 1938 to honor the memory of over one thousand St. Louis area military service members who died in the "War to End All Wars." President Franklin D. Roosevelt had visited St. Louis to dedicate the site of the future Memorial in October 1936, proclaiming in part:
We in America do not build monuments to war: we do not build monuments to conquests; we build monuments to commemorate the spirit of sacrifice in war - reminders of our desire for peace.
The Soldiers Memorial Military Museum underwent an extensive restoration and reopened just before Veterans Day and the centennial of the end of World War I on November 11, 2018 and is now operated by the Missouri Historical Society under an agreement with the City of St. Louis. The Memorial is visible from the front steps of SLPL Central Library; the proximity of these two downtown treasures can be seen in the sketch at right, found on pages 12-13 of Soldiers' Memorial - St. Louis, a pamphlet put out by the Soldiers' Memorial Commission in 1940 in our reference collection. Also in our reference collection is a bound volume containing Annual Reports of the Soldiers' Memorial Building for 1945 and 1948, in which we learn that the annual visitor count for 1944-45 was over 175,000, and that in addition to all the other activities (meetings, classes, exhibits) at the Memorial, the U.S.O. was installed in the basement of the building "as a referral center where the boys from the armed forces can procure tickets for various activities such as ball-games, shows, dances, etc. they also have television, radio, record-players, ping-pong and other amusements to help while away their leasure [sic] time between trains or when on pass."
To celebrate the reopening of our neighbor and to commemorate Veterans Day, we pulled together a book display with the Soldiers' Memorial pamphlet and other treasures from our stacks, as well as more current titles that may be of use or of interest to recent veterans and their families. From the stacks, we gathered Registers of the Sons of the Revolution from Missouri and various states, and the proceedings of the Society of Colonial Wars of Missouri, comprised of lineal descendants of wars that occurred in the Colonies that later formed the United States "from the settlement of Jamestown, May 13th, 1607, to the battle of Lexington, April 19th, 1775." We also have proceedings from the United Confederate Veterans and of the Encampments of the Department of Missouri, Grand Army of the Republic. From the WWII era, there is a nice array of books on how to reenter civilian life such as The Veteran Comes Back from 1944, How to Cash in on your Discharge from 1945, & You're Out of the Service Now from 1946.
SLPL also has many titles for modern-day veterans, including books that help current veterans navigate their federal benefits navigate their federal benefits, offering portraits of female combat veterans, and telling stories about deported veterans.
We have created this list of materials and still have our display up in the Social Sciences Room -- the books are ready to be checked out, or in the case of reference materials, perused here at Central Library. You may discover treasures within treasures, such as the listing of "Historical, Colonial and Revolutionary Relics and Articles of Interest pertaining to the Colonial and Revolutionary Times, exhibited under the auspices of the Society Sons of the Revolution in Missouri, at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, February 20 and 22, 1897" in the Supplement to the 1896 Year Book of the Society Sons of the Revolution in the State of Missouri, including a "pair of Duelling Pistols used in the Burr-Hamilton and other duels." (see collage at left) You might also find, from the booklet Returning Veterans - Some Suggestions for Employers published by the Committee on Demobilization and Re-Employment and the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce in July 1945, the advice that veterans should record their discharge certificate with the Recorder of Deeds in St. Louis City Hall (again, see collage at left), advice that still holds true today; the St. Louis Recorder of Deeds will both record military discharges for veterans for free and provide free copies of discharge papers previously recorded for the veteran or surviving spouse (i.e., no copies for genealogical or research purposes).
The Memorial is open to the public seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you pay a visit, be aware that Central Library is open Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. (third floor closes at 6 p.m.), Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., so perhaps set aside sufficient time to take in both of these St. Louis treasures?

Board Size, Non-Executive Board Members and Financial Performance in Non-Usury Banks in Iran
Prior studies investigating the relation between the financial performance and corporate governance mechanisms for firms in Tehran Stock Exchange mainly exclude banks due to their different types of rules and structure. We study the relation between corporate governance structure and financial performance of the banks under the non-usury banking act. We study various corporate governance factors including board size and the number of non-executive board members using a sample of 21 banks for 2010 to 2012. Result show a significant positive correlation among board size and financial performance. However, non-executive board members do not correlate with financial performance.

We're at that time of year when generosity is front and center for donors, vendors, and professionals who serve donors and the missions that benefit from that generosity. In addition to current gifts, charitable gift annuities are frequently a vehicle that donors select to fuel the missions that benefit our communities and our world. Staying current on the latest on charitable gift annuities including news on suggested maximum rates is critical for any institution that offers these gifts. If you've not yet read the news, at a meeting on November 8, 2019, the ACGA approved a decrease in the suggested maximum payout rates for charitable gift annuities. In general, the payout rates will be lowered by 0.3 to 0.5 percentage points, based on the annuitant(s) age(s) (e.g., payout reduction of $30 to $50 on a $10,000 donation). These new rates will become effective on January 1, 2020. I encourage you to read the material on our website that explains the assumptions that led to this change.
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you about the 34th ACGA Gift Planning Conference to be held next April 20-22 in our new Monday-Wednesday format. We will be meeting at the beautiful Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel & Convention Center, which features terrific break-out rooms, ballrooms for our plenary sessions, and a fabulous exhibit hall space surrounded by a hotel that has all the amenities you could want. Don't miss the Early Bird registration discount through February 14, 2020, and the opportunity to be in attendance to hear the latest critical information in our field including a full rates report.
As this year and the decade come to an end, we would like to thank you for being an ACGA member and supporting the work that we do to serve our community every day. Happy Holidays, and best wishes for a healthy, happy and successful 2020.
