Real Time SMS-Based hashing scheme for securing financial transactions on ATM systemsPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 1 - 6| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1021 KB) | | HTML
One noticeable dividend of the adoption and use of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) by Nigerian banks dating back to the early 1990s is the ease of access to cash by bank customers. However, incidences of ATM frauds has emerged as a limiting factor resulting in a decline adoption for transacting banking businesses. Fraudsters now employ different means to hunt for user's Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) in order to defraud unsuspecting customers. Existing measures adopted by financial institutions require ATM card holders to optionally subscribe to financial transactions message alerts through Short Message Services (SMS) (debit and credit transactions) and the use of posters pasted in banking halls to warn customers on the need to protect PIN numbers from unauthorized users. These measures are purely informative and do not adequately deal with the problems in real time. In this paper, we introduce a Real Time Instructive SMS-Based scheme called MophTem scheme which compels all customers to subscribe to SMS alerts as a basis for initiating transactions on their account. The bank generates a hash code using the customer PIN number and phone number. The generated hash key is then used to decrypt messages requesting for transactions from the customer. The intention is to provide additional security layer and fortify existing PIN access thus safeguarding customer accounts and account information. View full abstract»
Mobi4D: A next generation service delivery platform for mobile government services: An African perspectivePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 15 - 20| | Quick Abstract | PDF (611 KB) | | HTML
The proliferation of mobile devices now ubiquitous to virtually everyone in Africa has made it absolutely easy to get across to every user. Innovative ideas have quickly developed around mobile devices as well as technology surrounding it and while the earliest uses were born out of necessity, the current technology is harnessing the power of mobile devices to support and propel citizen engagement in democracy. With its Mobi4D platform project, the CSIR is pioneering the utilization of mobile devices to fully implement mobile government application with the aim of significantly improving the quality of service delivered to the citizens of South Africa. In this paper, we report the current development around the Mobi4D platform and discuss from the view point of opportunities it presents for mobile government. Demos of some of the pilot services being developed on Mobi4D are also presented showing how such platform can help address challenges faced in the government sector. View full abstract»
Validation of channels stability in multiple wavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laserPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 21 - 25| | Quick Abstract | PDF (271 KB) | | HTML
A multiple wavelength Brillouin/erbium fiber laser that generated six output channels at maximum pumping powers is presented. The laser is configured to allow uni-directional flow of both the Brillouin pump and the Brillouin Stokes signals through the Erbium doped fiber amplifier. Stability studies on the generated channels buttressed the fact that the proposed laser has met the stringent requirement of power stability and precision channel spacing in order to be deployed to support the DWDM systems. At Brillouin pump power of 2 mW and 1480 nm laser pump power of 130 mW, the wavelength of the first channel has not shifted over an observation period of one hour. The other channels recorded average wavelength shifts of 0.002 nm. Over the same observation period, the first channel records a power fluctuations of only 0.03 dB. View full abstract»
A formal theory for web-based control for GSM Quality-of-ServicePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 26 - 30| | Quick Abstract | PDF (259 KB) | | HTML
The need for effective web-based control ontology for GSM Quality-of-Service (QoS) demands the availability of a formal theory that allows for a dynamic interaction among the parties concerned. This dynamic control ontology follows a three-tier dynamic architecture that is void of total dependence on the information from the providers and also employs a feedback mechanism from the actual users of the services. This work proposes a formal model for Dynamic Control Ontology that will aid in providing efficient quality control measures over GSM services. Identified concepts and relationships were considered as basic facts and inferences around these concepts were defined. First-Order Logic, due to its expressivity was considered as the appropriate representational language for this formal model. This work would provide the platform for efficient reasoning and proofs of logical consequences that serve as answers to questions raised by government during its policy making, telecommunication companies when making findings on how to compete and take management decisions and subscribers in their choice of network. This model is expected to assist in ensuring effective quality, affordability of telephone services, as well as increased geographical spread of communication services in Nigeria. View full abstract»
Towards an adaptive multi-agent architecture for association rule mining in distributed databasesPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 31 - 36| | Quick Abstract | PDF (233 KB) | | HTML
Association rule mining, which is a data mining technique, finds interesting association or correlation relationships among a large set of data items. Current association rule mining tasks can only be accomplished successfully only in a distributed setting, which will require integration of knowledge generated from the multiple data sites. Most existing architectures for mining in such circumstances require massive movement of data resulting in high communication overheads leading to slow response time. These challenges are heightened when we have extremely large data sizes in multiple heterogeneous sites. Moreover, most existing algorithms and architectures are only moderately suitable for real-world scenarios. There is therefore an urgent need for improved architectures that will explore the capabilities of software agents' paradigms in order to improve on the existing systems. This work therefore introduces an adaptive architectural framework that mines association rules across multiple data sites, and more importantly the architecture adapts to changes in the updated database giving special considerations to the incremental database with the X-Apriori algorithm. The results integration agent also adapts to changes in the results sites considering the size of the agents; size of intermediate results; bandwidth, and other computational resources at the data servers. The proposed system promises to reduce communication and interpretation costs, improve autonomy and efficiency of distributed association rule mining tasks. View full abstract»
Essential parameters of Space-Borne Oscillators that ensures performance of Satellite-Based Augmentation SystemPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 42 - 50| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1058 KB) | | HTML
Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) arose from the need to provide continuity, availability, integrity and accuracy of global positioning signals to eliminate errors and compensate for discrepancies associated with GPS signals and other navigation systems. The NIGCOMSAT-1R Project is the insurance replacement of the NIGCOMSAT-1 satellite, which was de-orbited on 10th of November 2008 due to an irreparable single point of failure on-board the satellite. The NigComSat-1R Navigation (L-band) payload is a Space Based Augmentation System meant to provide a Navigation Overlay Service (NOS) similar to the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). The paper seeks to examine some of humankind's triumphs in navigation, from mechanical clocks to the critical role that Space-Borne Oscillators play in improving Performance of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems and the strategic role of NIGCOMSAT-1R, the nascent African contribution to the Global Navigation Satellite System.

Concise schemes for realizing 1-Wire® cyclic redundancy checksPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 70 - 79| | Quick Abstract | PDF (572 KB) | | HTML
The 1-Wire protocol provides a reliable means of detecting many types of errors that may occur in the bit stream it controls. It does so by carrying out cyclic redundancy check (CRC) calculations on data to be transmitted from 1-Wire and iButton slave devices, and appending the result to the data for onward transmission to the bus master as a block. Where the user of a 1-Wire or iButton device wishes to replicate the 1-Wire protocol in software, a number of application notes describe how to calculate 1-Wire CRC values. However, depending on the software implementation platform being used, these notes may not suffice for the average electronics systems engineer. This paper breaks down and compares a number of popular CRC calculation methods into basic tasks that may be interpreted for use in a programmable device that functions as a 1-Wire bus master; with a view to aid in further understanding of general CRC concepts. These tasks, which may also be extended to CRC calculations based on other generator polynomials, were verified by developing firmware routines that were run in a PIC 16F628A microcontroller functioning as the bus master to a single DS18S20 1-Wire Digital Thermometer.

Filter — Trender — Interpretation: A design pattern for interpreting noisy and voluminous dataPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 80 - 84| | Quick Abstract | PDF (302 KB) | | HTML
In this paper we propose and describe a new design pattern called FTI (Filter - Trender - Interpretation) for interpreting noisy and voluminous data sets. FTI consists of 3 consecutive processes: Filter which takes the original data and removes outliers and noise; given large volumes of data, Trender takes the filtered data and abstracts trends; and Interpretation uses rules from knowledge bases to perform qualitative reasoning on the trends to provide an analysis of the original data. In this paper we also show how FTI has been successfully applied to two different case studies. View full abstract»
The analysis of Nigeria electricity market restructuring using game theoryPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 86 - 90| | Quick Abstract | PDF (271 KB) | | HTML
Investments in electricity markets contain high uncertainties about the future. It can also be seen as a game, as only a number of large players act in the market. A dynamic stochastic oligopolistic model to describe the production and investment in such a situation is developed and applied to the Nigerian electricity market. The demand growth rate is modeled as a stochastic variable with a time horizon of ten years. The strategies of firms consist of investment and production levels for base and peak load periods. The firms employ hydro, gas and steam capacities. Using the Sample-Path Adopted Open Loop Information Structure, the model contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of production, investment, and market power in medium time horizon.

Energy yield of small wind turbines in low wind speed areasPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 93 - 98
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (440 KB) | | HTML
The objective of this paper is to compare several commercially available small wind turbines systems, namely a vertical axis type with three helical blades without power limiting control above rated wind speed, multi-bladed furling controlled horizontal axis type, stall controlled horizontal axis type and blade pitch controlled horizontal axis type. The comparison is based on the annual energy yield per swept area (kWh/m2) and cost per generated electricity (€/kWh) in a low wind speed climate. Results show that most systems did not meet the performance stated by the manufacturers. Calculated annual energy yield of some turbines were higher than measured values from field test by up to a factor of two. Results also show that in large diameter turbines the €/kWh is lower than in small diameter turbines while many small diameter turbines had higher kWh/m2 than large diameter turbines. However, above 3m diameter, large diameter turbines performed better, having both low €/kWh and high kWh/m2. View full abstract»
Multimachine transient stability analysis of the expanded 49 bus, 330KV Nigeria power systemPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 100 - 107| | Quick Abstract | PDF (564 KB)
The recent power sector reform in Nigeria has thrown up enormous challenges in this sector, ranging from the construction of more power stations, new transmission lines and substations. The existing network of 8-plants and 26 bus-bars expanded to a network of 16 generating plants with 49 bus-bars. Power flow evaluation of this expanded 330KV network was done using the Newton-Raphson technique, while transient stability analysis of the power system was simulated by direct method using ode45 MATLAB programmed functions. The results show better network configuration, though buses interconnected via long transmissions lines recorded high voltage profile violation. The critical clearing times and stability margins for three-phase faults at buses 3 (line 3-44) and 31 (line 2-31) were established as 0.21 second, 0.238 and 0.29 second, 0.448 respectively. The result provided a suite of specifications and standards for the expanded grid system. View full abstract»
Performance evaluation and efficiency improvement for Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro hydro power schemesPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 115 - 118| | Quick Abstract | PDF (251 KB) | | HTML
In this paper an attempt is made to evaluate performance indices based on industry - wide practice and to suggest possible approach for improving the operational efficiencies of Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro hydro power generating stations. To actualize that, data including average daily gross operating head, daily flow rate and daily energy generated were obtained from Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro power stations and the National Control Center (N.C.C) Osogbo. From the energy (MWh) generated the average daily power generated (MW) was computed. Consequently, the average operational efficiencies of Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro hydro schemes were evaluated and found to be 89.43%, 88.45% and 94.03% respectively. Similarly, performance indicators including deemed generation, auxiliary energy consumption, availability factor, capacity index, workforce deployment, forced outage factor, scheduled outage factor and average production cost were evaluated and technical inferences made. The study was limited to the year 2010 due to non - availability of data for other years. View full abstract»
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology: An alternative means of power transmissionPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 121 - 125
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (375 KB) | | HTML
Energy consumption in the world is increasing, as well as the demand for efficient and quality electric power supply that ensures a greener environment. Consequently, the deployment of renewable energy sources has become imperative. The use of renewable resources like hydropower, solar and wind cannot be possible without electric transmission lines. High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC), though an established technology of more than 100 years has its pros and cons. This paper presents an investigation into the use of HVDC technology as an alternative option for power transmission, the benefits, economic and reliability issues and most importantly, the environmental impact. In view of the crucial role played by a reliable Electric Power Transmission Grid in the economic development of nations, the integration of HVDC technology is recommended for developing countries, for neighboring countries who want to share spinning reserves and for developed countries who can tap the enormous solar and wind energies from remote deserts/offshore islands.

Investigation of effects of heat sinks on thermal performance of microelectronic packagePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 127 - 132
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (329 KB) | | HTML
The concern about thermal performance of microelectronics is on the increase due to recent over-heating induced failures which have led to product recalls. Removal of excess heat from microelectronic systems with the use of heat sinks could improve thermal efficiency of the system. This paper investigates the effect of change in heat sink geometry on thermal performance of aluminium and copper heat sinks in microelectronics. Numerical studies on thermal conduction through an electronic package comprising a heat sink, chip, and thermal interface material were carried out. The thickness of the heat sink base and the height of the heat sink fins were varied in the study. The minimum and maximum temperatures of aluminium and copper heat sinks in the two models were investigated using steady state thermal conduction analysis. Better heat dissipation occurred in thinner base thickness and extended fins height for both aluminium and copper heat sinks. Aluminium heat sink recorded the lowest minimum temperatures in both investigations and is recommended as optimal thermal management material for heat sink production. View full abstract»

Effect of signal strength on handover in GSM networks in Owo, Ondo State, NigeriaPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 138 - 143| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1010 KB) | | HTML
A major element in Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) system is the splitting of the system into cells to enhance frequency reuse and efficient coverage. As the mobile station moves from the coverage area of one cell to another, the first connection is broken and a new one is made without any interruption in service, in a process called handover. If this critical process is performed incorrectly handover can result in loss of the call. All the Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) of the four providers of GSM service in Owo were located on the physical map of Owo town in Ondo State, Nigeria and coverage of each network provider was investigated. GSM signal strength analyzer was used for measuring and monitoring the received signal strength and Bit Error Rate (BER) from each BTS at six geographical locations in the town for a period of time. The effect of signal strength on handover decisions between cells within the same Base Station Controller (BSC) of same networks in Owo was assessed for each provider. View full abstract»
The saturation of the control channel in multi channel wireless access networksPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 144 - 148| | Quick Abstract | PDF (235 KB) | | HTML
The implementation of multi-channels in Ad hoc networks and Wirelesses Mesh Networks has been widely investigated. It envisaged that the approach would increase the capacity of wireless access networks. Results show that the implementation of multi channels does increase the capacity of access networks. However, the use of either a temporary signalling channel or a dedicated control channel has raised many research questions. The use of a control channel is viewed as a challenge to multi-channel schemes and is considered to be a limiting factor. It has been argued that the capacity of a single dedicated channel causes system bottlenecks as its capacity saturates. Unfortunately, this challenge has been given little attention hence it requires further investigation. This paper explores the saturation problem using the analytical and simulation models. Under the two approaches, the saturation problem is investigated in different scenarios in which the number of data transmitting channels is increased steadily. The investigations show that the capacity of the control channel degrades steadily as the number of channels is increased. Both the simulation and analytical results exhibit similar behaviour of the control channel. However, this paper does not investigate the response of the data channel to the increasing data traffic.

Information capacity of adaptive MIMO OFDM wireless communication systemsPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 157 - 164| | Quick Abstract | PDF (979 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, the mathematical analysis supported by computer simulation is used to find the information capacity of adaptive MIMO OFDM in digital communication systems. Result shows that in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, the capacity performance of Least mean square (LMS) is poor while the recursive least square (RLS) shows an increase in capacity as the SNR increases. The joint channel parameters estimation in adaptive MIMO OFDM shows a 2dB SNR gain at BER of 10-5 when compared to individual parameter estimation. View full abstract»
Development of an ANFIS-based QoS model for a GSM service provider (MTN Nigeria Kano region network)Publication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 165 - 173| | Quick Abstract | PDF (462 KB) | | HTML
MTN Nigeria is one of the leading GSM service providers in Nigeria with 40 million subscribers and as such Quality of Service (QoS) is of vital importance. Due to the mobility of subscribers and the complexity of radio waves in propagation, the radio part (GSM Capacity) is mostly the decisive factor affecting the Quality of Service of the GSM network. GSM Logical Control channels Data obtained from May 2006 to December 2009 from MTN, Kano region, were partitioned into training data set (142 data pairs represents 75% of the entire data) and checking data set (48 data pairs represents 25% of the entire data). Data obtained from January to March 2010 were used as validation data. The developed Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model was tested for Quality of Service on Logical Control Channel variables using Average Percentage Error (APE) and Performance comparison of data distribution.

Direct Sequence CDMA system using Finite-Time Altered Sinusoidal Signals as orthogonal signaturesPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 174 - 177| | Quick Abstract | PDF (238 KB) | | HTML
Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) uses unique signature for each user to distinguish the information signals belonging to one user from another user. While orthogonal signatures that give values of zero for the cross correlation of different user signatures are highly desirable, only few of these kind of signatures are available. In this paper, the properties of Finite-Time Altered Sinusoidal Signals as orthogonal signatures for multiple access communication are presented. The effectiveness of this type of signature in combating multiple access interference was also evaluated and compared with the performance of the Legendre Polynomial and Walsh-Hadamard Signatures. The results obtained have been favourable. The Altered Sinusoidal Signature is a good candidate for application in DS-CDMA communication and wire line communication systems. View full abstract»

A non-iterative automated mechanism for image inpaintingPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 193 - 199| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1480 KB) | | HTML
Portions of an image may be damaged or missing. Inpainting is required to recover the missing portions. Inpainting is cleaning off dirt, filling discolored sports, and repairing torn, warped, or cracked in a damaged image. The existing Navier-Stokes Partial Differential Equations (PDE) method for inpainting is iterative by nature, with a time variable serving as iteration parameter. For reasons of stability a large number of iterations can be needed which results in a computational complexity that is often too large for interactive image manipulation. A non-iterative automated mechanism for image inpainting is proposed. Colors are treated as fluid that flow or diffuse from the surrounding areas into the empty region. Gains ranging from 9.44 dB to 19.49 dB were obtained with the non-iterative automated inpainting scheme. The automated inpainting scheme overcomes the computational complexity associated with the existing Navier-Stokes PDE inpainting method, and is more suitable for interactive image manipulations.

Effects of inter-metallic compound on high temperature reliability of flip chip interconnects for fine pitch applicationsPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 208 - 213| | Quick Abstract | PDF (726 KB) | | HTML
Solder joint is a method widely used to attach electronic chip on substrate. It is a generally knowledge that solder joint contains inter-metallic compound (IMC) at interconnects of solder bump and copper pads. The magnitude of IMC layer thickness impacts reliability of chip level packages. Extensive experimental investigations are conducted, however complementary numerical studies are needed to fully characterise the effects of IMC on high temperature reliability of flip chip (FC) assembly. In this work, thermo-mechanical response of FC lead-free solder joints to accelerated temperature cycle (ATC) is investigated using finite element analysis (FEA) code. The ANAND's model is employed to study the inelastic, nonlinear, rate dependent and visco-plastic behaviour of two models of FC48D6.3C457DC mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs). While one model consists of conventional joints without IMC, the other is realistic with IMC embedded. In the result analysis based on damage indicators such as induced strain, stress, plastic work and hysteresis, it is found that negative impact of IMC on static structural integrity of solder joint operating at high temperature ambient is nontrivial.

Wet gas flow metering using PIV and tracer dilutionPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 222 - 224| | Quick Abstract | PDF (292 KB) | | HTML
This paper introduces a prototype wet gas flow metering system, named "Uletech", for flow measurement. The "Uletech" Wet Gas Meter (UWGM) is based on the combination of particle recognition and the use of Laser Imaging Technology in the form of Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV). PIV uses tracer particles which follow the gas or liquid phase. The high resolution digital laser cameras identify/recognize all the different sizes of particles (gas, oil and water) in a multiphase flow. The cameras have sufficiently high resolutions (pixel size) to "see" the tracer particles. The prevailing conditions of high pressure and temperature of the flow regimes makes actual measurement a great challenge. The velocity differences between phases (hold up and slip) means unless the velocities of individual phases and concentrations are known, the true flow rate is practically impossible to obtain. The system comprises two cameras, laser source, optical arrangement, computer data acquisition system, synchronizer and MATLAB based software. An algorithm that correlates the camera's view to the volume within the pipe has been developed through this research. The computer acquires image signals from the upstream and/or downstream cameras, and carries out the calculation of cross correlation between the two image frames so that the velocity of each pixel can be found. A Gas Liquid Chromatograph (GLC) provides the composition (concentration) of the gas and the liquid hydrocarbon (HC). The product of phase velocity and phase concentration provides the flow rate of the individual phase. This work provides theoretical analysis and experimental validations, and discusses the advantages of the system and its further development. View full abstract»
Design, construction and testing of multipurpose energy saving LEDs and its implications on energy crisis in NigeriaPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 226 - 230| | Quick Abstract | PDF (261 KB) | | HTML
Solar energy and other alternative energy sources thrive on devices that consume lesser power than that used with conventional power sources, besides; the increasing cost of energy generation has left every one searching for low power consumption devices. Focusing on a very essential electrical device used in every home and offices, this paper presents "the design and construction of multipurpose energy saving light emitting diode (LED) light". Bright white LED with broadband spectrum wavelength were connected in series and parallel form on a reflecting but not conducting surface. A dual Power supply design mode was used such that either direct ac source of 220V or a 12V DC supply is compatible with it. The LEDs are however not directly powered by the supply voltage as they were energized through a low frequency pulse-width modulated circuit. This ensures longer life span for the LED as they are not constantly on, though not noticeable to the eye. At the same time pulse-width modulation is ensured, which automatically effects varying light intensity. This singular feature makes this device multipurpose energy saving LED lamp, as it is sufficiently useful in the bedroom, sitting room, outside lighting or even street lightning. The durability of this device is ensured as it has been subjected to more than twelve month test. The physics and the electrical properties of the LED were considered in the course of the design, hence device analysis, calculation, experimental and test results as well as the implication of this design on energy crisis in Nigeria are included in the body of this paper.

Commentary: Remembering George McGovern
Tom Brokaw once called him "one of the country's most decent and thoughtful public servants." Senator and Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern passed away at the age of 90 yesterday. Commentator and History Professor Dr. Brian Clardy remembers the time he met Senator McGovern and National Review founder William F. Buckley, Jr. and reflects on McGovern's life and legacy in politics.
On April 10, 1997, a group of students and faculty from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale students boarded a big yellow school bus to drive to Cape Girardeau, Missouri to head to the Inaugural ceremonies for the new President of Southeast Missouri State University. The reason that we went there on that dreary and windy afternoon was to attend an early morning debate between National Review founder William F. Buckley, Jr. and former 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, and South Dakota Senator, George S. McGovern.
The focus of the debate was on "Liberal versus Conservative Ideology." And who better to personify either ideal than McGovern and Buckley?
After all………..I was a huge fan of Buckley's writings, as well as his PBS talk show "Firing Line. And while I didn't always see eye to eye with Senator McGovern, I respected his intellect….his candor…..his sincerity.
By hook or by crook, I had to meet them.
And sure enough, I was given that opportunity.
When I made sure that my students had their tickets and knew of the rendezvous point where we would meet after lunch to ride back to Carbondale, I swung into action. The rumor was…….that a continental breakfast was being held on the lower concourse of the Student Center and that McGovern and Buckley would be there. So………coat and tie in tow……..I sauntered downstairs to meet the two men who had influenced my own life and world view so completely.
To my astonishment, no one checked my ID. There were no name tags required. No one asked any questions. You know that analogy about "Taking candy from a Baby"??? It was true in that instance at least.
I went into the main room and there they were……..Bill Buckley and George McGovern……..as large as life and the center of the crowd's attention. I couldn't help but smile and heave a sigh of relief.
When the crowd mellowed out some, I walked over to them……shook their hands and talked to them. I thanked Mr. Buckley for having informed my world view on politics and philosophy during my teenage years. But when it came to Senator McGovern, I said perhaps the corniest thing that my star struck mind could conjure, "My Mother voted for you, Senator." He flashed a huge smile and said, "You have a very smart Mother."
Senator McGovern engaged me by asking me where I was attending school and what my major was. When I told him that I was working on a doctoral dissertation in historical studies at SIU Carbondale , his smile grew even larger. As it turned out, he held a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University and at one point during his World War II service, he had done some training at SIU.
Who'da thunk it?
A twenty nine year old kid from South Fulton, TN talking to a man who had been his party's standard bearer for the Presidency of the United States……..and finding commonality.
When Senator McGovern passed away on Sunday, October 21st, I kept revisiting that conversation. But more to the point, I reflected on the fact that while he and Bill Buckley held different views, they could come together in the spirit of collegial camaraderie to debate the issues of the day……….and remain friends.
In today's polarized political environment, I believe that politicians can benefit tremendously from that example. The love of country…..concern about the international order…….and a reverence for America's exceptional political heritage is far more precious than scoring points by mean spirited personal attacks.
That was the lesson I took from that encounter.
And that was the legacy of Bill Buckley AND George McGovern.
Rest In Peace, Senator.
Dr. Brian Clardy is an assistant professor of history and Coordinator of Religious Studies at Murray State University. He is also the host of Café Jazz, Thurday nights on WKMS.

Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's monthly North Carolina poll finds overwhelming bipartisan agreement that Duke Energy- and not anyone else- should pay for the clean up from the recent coal ash spill. 79% think the company should bear the cost rather than taxpayers or customers to only 12% who disagree. There's also no divide along party lines at all on the issues- independents (81/9), Republicans (79/11), and Democrats (79/14) all think the onus should fall on Duke. This episode is having a pretty negative overall impact on Duke's image in the state too- only 26% of voters have a favorable opinion of the company overall to 52% with an unfavorable one.
"It's pretty unusual in North Carolina these days to find a hot button issue that Democrats and Republicans are completely in agreement about," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "But there's broad consensus that this should be Duke Energy's mess to clean up and no one else's."

Blogs Cliopatria Cinco de MayoJul 6, 2006 5:29 pm
Cinco de Mayo
The origination for Cinco de Mayo, The Fifth Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, but is also celebrated in other parts of the country and in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16.
Visit this website to discover the true historical origins behind the celebration of Cinco de Mayo.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Maples kids get physical in local b-ball league
A few Maples-area volunteers are making a huge difference for local kids who want to play basketball.
Over 800 kids play in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The league is not a community centre or school-based program — it exists pure through the efforts of a team of super volunteers.
The PBA was initially a Filipino youth league. Now it's open to all kids and nationalities. There is a growing girls' league, and for the first time, this season, there is a kids under-eight program.
"The volunteers are the key in this league. They love basketball, and they want to celebrate this great sport and assist our kids to be active in the winter months," PBA president Manny Aranez says.
This season, there are 44 teams participating in the not-for-profit league. Games began in late November and end in April. All games are played on Sundays in two large gymnasiums rented at Garden City Collegiate.
In addition to league games, coaches keep their teams busy with weekly practise sessions.
The winners of their respective divisions are eligible to represent the PBA at the annual North American Cities Tournament.
Red and Sandra Ducharme are a husband-and-wife coaching duo who bring a very successful Winnipeg coaching legacy to the PBA. Since 1999, they have led several basketball teams to a number of championships and their son and two daughters have represented Manitoba at the provincial and Indigenous championships. This season Red and Sandra are the coaching the eight-year-old Winnipeg Spirit, which includes their grandson, Dante Ducharme.
"We are so happy to assist the kids. Team sports keep them fit, they do better in school and the kids make lots of friends," Sandra says.

Artificial sweeteners may raise the risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and weight gain, according to Purdue University behavioral neuroscience professor Susan Swithers, who wrote an opinion article on the website of the journal Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism. Swithers, who reviewed studies on artificial sweeteners, wrote that their use can have a counter-intuitive effect that "may reflect negative consequences of interfering with learned relationships between sweet tastes and typical post-ingestive outcomes."

I love this app. I usually have to do projects of the site with my laptop but third makes getting things done so much Easier. Can just pull up my phone. Go to my favorites and get to work. Two thumbs up and5stars
Great app for diy projects.
Just like the website of the same name. Now you can use the app directly to quickly access the diy app. quick loading,and nice big pictures with the diy projects. Very happy with this.
Voiceover accessibility for the visually impaired issues make it hard for me to rate this app higher
Some elements of this app are accessible by Voiceover. However, the overall experience as a blind iOS user is a difficult one. Unlabeled buttons, entire elements not accessible by Voiceover, unresponsive accessibility gestures and so on. If improvements were made to address some of these Voiceover issues, I'd be happy to adjust my rating.

Featured by Apple! "New and Noteworthy" (Feb. 2013) and "Apps for Business" (Apr. 2013)
"You can be looking at statistical analyses less than a minute after importing your data." —MacFormat Magazine (UK)
It's true: within minutes of importing your first data set into Wizard, you'll be generating graphics, uncovering correlations, producing p-values, building models, and sharing insights with colleagues. Most customers find that the program pays for itself in just a few days of use. Explore Wizard's delightful feature set, including...

Wizard supports drag-and-drop, multi-level Undo, and other interface conveniences that Mac users expect from their software. An interactive tutorial will help you get started.
Dozens of functions are available to help you get data into the form you want. Compute quantiles, perform day-of-week calculations, multiply columns together, and more.
Export colorful graphics as web-friendly PNG or print-quality PDF. If you're surrounded by PC users, export your models as interactive spreadsheets that can be used to run "What if?" scenarios in any version of Microsoft Excel.

What's New in Version 1.7.0
• 1-click Data Refresh: Suppose you've imported and cleaned your data, perhaps built a few models -- and then your data changes. Now, thanks to the new "Refresh" button in the toolbar, you can instantly update all of your analyses using fresh data from the original source. Customize how columns are matched up with a convenient popover, and feel free to move or rename the source data file on your computer -- Wizard will automatically keep an eye on it. Command-R to refresh the data, Command-E to configure the link.
• Revamped menu system: Wizard has a new modular architecture that means you'll only see menus relevant to what you're doing -- that is, Raw Data, Pivot, Summary, Model, and Predict each have their own menu now. Most of the menus are more concise, so you can find what you're looking for faster.
• JSON support: by popular request, Wizard 1.7 can import JavaScript (JSON) data files. Make sure your data is encoded as an array of objects and Wizard will do the rest. Export any table or result as JSON, too.
Wizard Pro 1.7 has received extensive testing and includes many smaller bug fixes as well -- too many to list. Of course, all software has bugs, so if you hit any hiccups send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will dig into it as soon as possible. Most customers receive a response within a few days and a complete resolution to their issue in under a week.

Customer Reviews
December 2014
I loved this tour! My sister and I were the only two on it, and despite the rain, had a brilliant time. Julian was a fab tour guide and showed us some great places that we explored on the rest of the trip. Would 100% recommend.
November 2014
My wife was a little apprehensive before the tour however she loved it. It is the best way to travel all around Nice. We had a fantastic guide in Raphael. He was very knowledgeable and patient and took us around at a nice leisurely pace. It is without doubt the easiest way to go to the top of the hill for the brilliant views over Nice. We were there end of October 2014 for only one night so wanted to see as much as possible in as short a time as possible and we achieved that. On two separate occasions people approached Raphael for information on how they could book. Great fun. Just do it!!

I have a table in my database which three columns of data:
1) The clubname;
2) The teamname;
3) The pouleid;
All clubs have more than 1 team. Each team has 2 pouleid's (an indoor and an outdoor id).
I want to loop through the combination of club-team and find the corresponding pouleid's. Then I want to set the lower pouleid to "outdoor" and the higher pouleid to "indoor" in another column of this table.
I can find the results from a specific club/team-combination with a query LIKE
"SELECT pouleid FROM Stand WHERE clubnaam = 'ZKC' AND clubteam = 'A1' LIMIT 0,1"
"SELECT pouleid FROM Stand WHERE clubnaam = 'ZKC' AND clubteam = 'A1' LIMIT 1,1"
But how can I loop through the whole table and find the matching club/team-combination and than update the column with indoor or outdoor? Is that possible in MySql?

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of high-quality studies investigating the Earth's atmosphere and the underlying chemical and physical processes. It covers the altitude range from the land and ocean surface up to the turbopause, including the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere.
The main subject areas comprise atmospheric modelling, field measurements, remote sensing, and laboratory studies of gases, aerosols, clouds and precipitation, isotopes, radiation, dynamics, biosphere interactions, and hydrosphere interactions (for details see journal subject areas). The journal scope is focused on studies with general implications for atmospheric science rather than investigations that are primarily of local or technical interest.
We show that atmospheric load of ice nuclei is enhanced for up to 20 days after key rainfall events. The rate of enhancement decreases exponentially with time. Rainfall quantity and frequency are increased for a similar duration and with similar exponential decreases thereby supporting the notion of rainfall feedback. We reveal series of significant feedback in rainfall patterns across Australia over the past century and marked changes in feedback patterns, and we indicate their locations.

This work represents the first application of two-dimensional gas chromatography to broadly characterize the gas-phase emissions of biomass burning, including comparisons among the emissions from burns of selected conifer, grass, crop residue, and peat fuel types. In these smoke samples, over 700 compounds were detected, which are discussed in the context of potential secondary organic aerosol formation.

This paper describes a new ensemble methodology for the statistical analysis of atmospheric gas- & particle-phase composition data sets. The methodology reduces the huge amount of data derived from many chamber experiments to show that organic reactivity & resultant particle formation can be mapped into unique clusters in statistical space. The model generated is used to map more realistic plant mesocosm oxidation data, the projection of which gives insight into reactive pathways & precursors.

Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are short-lived organic trace gases and important precursors of secondary organic aerosol. Measurements over oceans are sparse. We present the first in situ glyoxal and methylglyoxal observations over remote temperate oceans, alongside observations of precursor gases. Precursor gases cannot explain observed mixing ratios, highlighting an unknown source. We show a large discrepancy between calculated vertical column densities of glyoxal and those retrieved by satellite.

Ozone holds a certain fascination in atmospheric science. It is ubiquitous in the atmosphere, central to tropospheric oxidation chemistry, yet harmful to human and ecosystem health as well as being an important greenhouse gas. It is not emitted into the atmosphere but is a by-product of the very oxidation chemistry it largely initiates. This review examines current understanding of the processes regulating tropospheric ozone at global to local scales from both measurements and models.

undermount bathroom sink gap
I usually post on some of the other boards here at GW, my first bathroom post I think. We recently toured a home built by our builder and I immediately noticed in the bathroom how there is a large gap in between the countertop and the undermount sink. It's definitely something I'm going to have to pay attention to in order to avoid the same happening in the home we are going to start building soon. Can you tell me where the issue is here:
Is it a problem with the installation of the countertop or is it the sink itself? How tight a fit is reasonable to expect with an undermount bathroom sink? (I would hope pretty darn tight). This particular setup looks like a cleaning disaster. If the issue lies with the sink, what do I need to look for in the sinks we choose to have a tighter fit?
The problem is that the sink has an eased inside edge and not perfectly angled flat to fit against the underside of the stone. The fabricator should have cut the sink hole larger, to give more of a reveal of the sink edge, so that it contacted the stone where it is flat. This could be exacerbated by it not being a true undermount sink that is attempting to be undermounted. Or, it could be a hand made sink that isn't flat and can't be properly mounted without a gap. It's difficult to say exactly without viewing the installation in person.
Excellent picture and explanation of the potential problems. This is a detail that I need to consider as I change my sink focus. The gap looks equal all the way around so the revealed edge that GreenDesigns mentioned is probably the solution to this rather ugly installation.
This is not a plug, but I was just in the local Silestone warehouse and saw they now have a seamed undermount sink that matches the countertop. You can now get a "Corian" seamless look in engineered stone, but expect your fabricator to charge plenty.
if that's true and you like Silestone, I would be tempted to try that. Love my kitchen corian sink that is seamless with the counter.
Why are you worried?l What will get up there? It is not a cleaning disaster.
We had our countertop cut to overhang the undermount Lacava sinks by 3/4". I just run a cloth unter that rim when I clean them. If you have an overflow on your sink, what do do figure will get up there? Nothing but dust. Choose the sink reveal that you like. Relax.

Youtube and Facebook May Be Banned In Turkey, Again 57
from the cat-videos-considered-subversive dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If you are a political leader and are afraid of Facebook and Youtube, then you are afraid of your own people. In the case of Erdogan, he is just another Muslim Brotherhood goon trying to tighten the screws on society to slowly squeeze Turkey into becoming an Islamic Republic. His first move to achieve this was jailing thousands of officers in the Turkish military, who were schooled in the thoughts of Kemal Atatürk, the "Father of the Turks".
As a brief description of what Kemal Atatürk was all about, I'll just lift this from Wikipedia:
His military campaigns led to victory in the Turkish War of Independence. Atatürk then embarked upon a program of political, economic, and cultural reforms, seeking to transform the former Ottoman Empire into a modern, secular, and democratic nation-state. Under his leadership, thousands of new schools were built, primary education was made free and compulsory, and women were given equal civil and political rights, while the burden of taxation on peasants was reduced.[3] The principles of Atatürk's reforms, upon which modern Turkey was established, are referred to as Kemalism.
Not bad, considering that this was in the late 1920's! He even introduced a new Latin based alphabet, that replaced the old Arabic script! Can you image a political leader today, who would have the balls and the support to just say, "Oh, let's just switch our alphabet."
The strategy of Muslim Brotherhood cretins, is to get elected claiming to be "moderately Islamic", without showing their true intentions. Then they use the courts to jail any political opposition and then slowly implement restrictions on society to transform it into an Islamic state. With the army now out of his way, there are only a few brave folks left who stage protests. When his corruption was exposed, he thought that he was far enough down the Islamic path that he can just act like a caliph now.
It would really be a sad loss for humanity, if all those enlightened thoughts of Atatürk get stomped into the ground, and Turkey is forced into the shackles of Islam in their place.

Heavy Shade Area Around Deck, No Ideas..
Can anyone help me with shrub\plant ideas to spruce up this deck area at a rental property I just purchased? The entire area gets shade for pretty much the whole day from a large water maple tree located near the deck. I would like to make it look nice with a minimum investment. Any ideas for plants that tolerate almost total shade would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
Louisville, KY
I know you're asking about shrubs that will survive the conditions, but I think you're getting the cart before the horse. Tree canopies are like ceilings. How low or high they are has a tremendous impact on the feel of the overall space. Contrast what it feels like to walk into a mobile home home with a 7' ceiling vs. into a cathedral with a 60' ceiling. Obviously, there are other factors that contribute to a difference in feeling, but the ceiling height itself is a principle factor. Low hanging limbs and branches produce a claustrophobic feeling. If their shade is dark it feels gloomy. Keep in mind that whatever height limbs of trees are today, next month and next year the branches they support will be lower... sometimes by several feet depending on the weight of a year's growth. If a limb is almost at the point that it is too low and will need to be removed, then in a relatively short time it will be there. Why not anticipate it and just get rid of it while it is a little smaller and less work then it will be the following year? Limbing up the trees would not only make the yard feel and look better, it would help in expanding what is able to grow back there. A 4' x 4' concrete landing at the bottom of the steps would be nicer for renters to have than the first shrub. With the nice looking lattice skirting at the deck, it doesn't seem than you need to cover it up. A low groundcover or even a tidy mulch bed flanking the deck would be sufficient.
Plant suggestions are A) Nandina domestica B) Hydrangea macrophylla. Some Impatiens at each side of the steps would help doll it up for showing.
