Recently clock and data synchronisation issues have prompted a rethink of how data should be communicated within embedded microprocessor systems, leading to the development of early standards for serial transmission of data using packets; these feature a symbol for delineating the end of a packet. Bounds are investigated on the potential advantage, in terms of extra data compression, if compression took place in conjunction with packetisation. The Shannon formula for a binary data source is re-derived, showing how the formula varies when compressing relatively small chunks of data into packets. Simulation results suggest that a non-trivial amount of extra compression can be obtained in this way, and that the advantage is greater for data with lower original entropy.

Food packaging is an often unsung part of our food waste problem, but these grocery stores are trying to change that by changing the way we shop for food
May 13th, 2014 | by Becky Striepe
Getting the plastic out of your kitchen can be tough, right? It's expensive to replace all of your plastic with glass. And glass containers take a lot more space to store than plastic baggies. That's where a plastic-free food wrap comes in handy. These wraps are water-resistant, and fold to store easily. The best part? You can make them yourself, even if you have no sewing skills at all

I'd really like to see the fan base extract a promise from both sides to work out a deal prior to the end of the next CBA - some form of guarantee that we won't have to go through this again soon.
My way of showing fan support vs. the league
1. I will attend less games (15 last season, will be reduced to 5 or less)
2. I will NOT buy a single food, beverage, or memorabilia item at the game, if more fans did this it could make an impact, pregame before hand)
If 8,000 fans don't spend $10 on concessions that's $98,400,000 per year lost by the NHL (Figure the CBA lasts 6 years and that is $590,400,000 lost by the NHL, that might make an impact)
