HeartID: Cardiac Biometric Recognition
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper examines the applicability of cardiac signals for biometric recognition. Two physiological signals are considered, namely the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and the Phonocardiogram (PCG) as it has been shown they bare adequate discriminative information in a population. Due to the idiosyncratic properties of ECG and PCG, individual algorithms are developed for feature extraction. Time dependency, a major challenge of cardiac biometrics, is taken to consideration in the design of robust gallery templates. To that end, a wavelet based analysis is introduced to handle noise artifacts and heart rate variability. A bi-modal configuration is presented, to perform decision level fusion of the information.

Sometimes Ohio isn't all that bad. lol I have to be patient for my Metallica. The guy I'm getting it from is rooting it for me, and he wants it to have a nice big root ball before he ships it.

Colombo: Naval boats and helicopters scoured seas off Sri Lanka Monday for dozens of missing fishermen, as the death toll from strong monsoon rains and winds rose to 31, an official said.
The dead fishermen were listed as missing since the monsoon hit the island early on Saturday, destroying more than 100 houses, according to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC).
"We continue to look for missing people," DMC spokesman Sarath Lal Kumara told a news agency. "The Navy and the Air Force are leading the search and rescue operations."
The death toll rose from 27 to 31, with all of those, except one, fishermen caught in rough seas, DMC figures show. Another 35 people have been injured, according to the DMC.
More than 100 houses have been completely destroyed and another 2,185 partially damaged due to strong winds, the figures show.
The weather has improved since Sunday, the department of meteorology said. The monsoon hits the country twice a year bringing much-needed rain, but also frequently causes loss of life and damage to property.
Seven people were killed in the country last month when a tropical cyclone brushed the eastern coast.

All Agencies to Submit Personnel Roster to DBM
Newspaper article Manila Bulletin , April 2, 2011
Article excerpt
MANILA, Philippines - President Aquino has instructed all national departments and agencies to immediately submit to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) complete rosters of their personnel - including military and uniformed personnel, and employees of government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCS).Budget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad said the President's directive to build a Comprehensive Database on Government Manpower will allow DBM to accurately and amply provide for the national government's personnel services requirements, including pension obligations."The Aquino administration is taking concrete steps to address the recently-revealed abuses in the use of personnel funds in the military, as well as the exorbitant pay received by officials of government firms," Abad said."Earlier, we withheld P8.6 billion and P11 billion worth of salaries and benefits of military personnel of the Department of National Defense (DND) and uniformed personnel of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), respectively. …


text: Although Emmanuel took a brief hiatus from the music industry at the end of 2007 for health reasons, that October he recorded all three nights of a residency at the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, California. These recordings would make up the acclaimed double-CD live set that was released as Center Stage in April 2008. Equally well-received was 2010s Little by Little, a comeback of sorts in the form of a double-studio album which featured a tasteful rendition of Carole King's "Tapestry." 2011s All I Want for Christmas nodded in places to John Fahey's classic festive recordings, while 2013s The Colonel & The Governor saw him team up with the equally talented English guitarist Martin Taylor. ~ Jonathan Widran & James Wilkinson, Rovi

This Polyester Cotton Mattress Cover not only protects your mattress against dust and stains, its unique combination of materials help to keep you both warm in winter and cool in Summer, and therefore is perfect for use all year round.
Protect your new mattress and your guarantee
Protecting your new mattress from stains and spills will help to keep your new mattress in perfect condition, and will also protect your guarantee. The guarantee of your new bed or mattress can be invalidated if badly stained or soiled.
Prolong the life of your new bed or mattress
The fact is, we lose over a pint and a half of body moisture every night while sleeping, most of it directly into our beds. Unfortunately most mattresses absorb moisture, which plays a significant part in the break down and deterioration of internal fillings and springs. A new Wetsafe mattress cover will not allow your body moisture to enter the mattress, prolonging the life of your new bed or mattress.
Help in the fight against allergies
The combination of moisture and your own body warmth creates an ideal breeding ground for the house dust mite, which are a major cause of allergies. A new Wetsafe mattress cover will not only act as a barrier, reducing the moisture and dead skin from entering the mattress, but is also treated to help further reduce asthma, eczema and other dust mite related allergies.
"I would like you to accept my compliments on your web site, your competitive prices and most impressive was your service and how friendly and well informed the team are there. In this world of face-less internet shopping, it is refreshing to find a company like Sleeping Solutions that truly understands the needs of their customers and exceeds their every expectation!"

Royal KPN NV reached a tentative settlement to end litigation claiming a joint venture between the Dutch phone company and Qwest Communications International Inc. that went bankrupt in 2002 was mismanaged.
Ex-Qwest Communications International Inc. chief Joseph Nacchio shouldn't be allowed an income tax deduction for the $44.6 million he forfeited after his conviction for insider trading because it would undercut his punishment, a government lawyer said.
The Online Lenders Alliance wants the group that manages a U.S. payment system to clarify warnings on illegal use of the network by payday-loan firms, saying the message is posing a threat to legitimate business.
Former Qwest Communications International Inc. chief Joseph Nacchio traveled from a Pennsylvania prison in April to a Denver court seeking a reduction in his six-year sentence for insider trading.
Joseph Nacchio , the former chief of Qwest Communications International Inc. convicted of insider trading, appealed the 70-month prison sentence that reduced his original term by two months.
Wynn Resorts Ltd. Vice Chairman Kazuo Okada sued the casino operator for access to financial records in a dispute with the company over the use of funds.
"The vast majority of the amount calculated by the court reflects years of legitimate price appreciation in Qwest stock since the options were granted, and should not have played a role in determining Nacchio's relative culpability."

They form buds, and 1 bloomed, once, and it matched the same thing that is on other parts of my property, that does bloom. They are in an area that does not get sun after the trees get their leaves, does not have great soil, and I have not fertilized. I have also seen some other varieties that look like Rose of May but are not hardy to zone 5, so if they are something else that could also be a problem. I'm hoping someone with a different climate/soil/location/greener thumb might be able to help them out.
Let me know what you have :)
If you still have the daffs, I would be interested in them. Please check out my trade list and let me know.
Thanks, Pat

MoBlack - "Freedom" - Tribute to Kwame Nkrumah
"Freedom" is from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's speech for Independence from the United Kingdom declared on 6th of March 1957. It is a tribute to Kwame Nkrumah the first President of Ghana and the first Prime Minister of Ghana. I am grateful that I discovered this song today on the actual anniversary of Ghana's freedom -- March 6, 1957
"I am an African, not because I was born in Africa, but because Africa is born in me." --
Kwame Nkrumah
Mimmo Falcone moved from Naples, south Italy to the south of the world, Ghana, Africa. He has blended two heritages of the universal language of music. Mimmo Falcone is a dj and a producer, a creative spirit and a musician since his early teenage years. In 2003, he moved to the west side of Central Africa, in Ghana, as managing director of a food processing company. On the coasts of the Gulf of Guinea, he played and produced his deep house, mixing it with the heritage of the local and more traditional sounds and giving birth to a new project: MoBlack. In Twi, the major language spoken in Ghana, Mo means "good Job" as it stands for "moda," the Italian word for fashion and as Mo, the initial of his last name. MoBlack wants to celebrate and promote the beauty of Africa through music, art and fashion. Since his arrival in Africa, Mimmo Falcone has played and shared his faith in sound with local artists.

One of our readers was kind enough to send a link to a YouTube video from NASA's Solar Dynamics Obervatory (SDO), which has been capturing images of the whole sun 24 hours a day for the last 5 years. After putting together image sequences into a time-lapse, NASA created a stunning video that is absolutely worth watching. If you visit NASA's official website, you can click on the Related Media link and see many more videos and images from SDO, which are all as amazing as the below video:
Watchtower of Turkey
Having toured across Turkey as a teenager, I have so many wonderful memories of this beautiful and historic country. I instantly fell in love and have since been wanting to go back and revisit this magical place. Earlier this week, one of our readers sent an absolutely stunning video called "Watchtower of Turkey", filmed by Leonardo Dalessandri, who spent 20 days in Turkey traveling thousands of miles and capturing both stills and video. The resulting three and a half minute film is absolutely stunning and definitely worth watching. I decided to share this video with our readers and I hope you enjoy this masterpiece as much as I did.
To The Ends of the Earth
About a month ago, Canon Australia posted a short film titled "To The Ends of the Earth", where adventure photographer and Canon Master Krystle Wright is shown taking pictures of rock climbers and divers in different conditions. I decided to share this video with our readers, because I found it to be beautiful and inspirational. I loved Krystle's opening line "my biggest fear is regret", because that's exactly how I feel about many things in my life. Krystal lives and breathes photography and you can feel her deep connection with the craft in every second of the video, which is amazing. Very few of us can truly follow their passion and make it their way of life, so seeing someone not only achieve it, but also be very successful at it is truly inspirational for me personally. I hope you will enjoy the video as much as I did!
Genaray LED-7100T On-Camera Light Review
Like many photographers and videographers, I've found that there have been times when I really could have used a small, highly portable, adjustable light source. This most often occurred when I shooting close-up still images or video clips of industrial machinery where I couldn't get my regular studio lighting to fit into cramped quarters. I began looking for a solution and came upon the Genaray LED-7100T On-Camera Light.
How to Use a DSLR to Shoot High Quality Videos
If you are like many professional photographers, you may be finding that more and more clients are asking if you can also do video for them when you're on-site doing a photo shoot. Video can be a "strange new world" and you may be passing up some good opportunities. Most modern DSLRs are quite competent in shooting video, and you can use them to create industrial and commercial productions that are ideally suited for use at corporate functions, in sales presentations, as training aids, and as promotional spots on YouTube…so there is a great opportunity to expand your service offering by including video.
The Film Show by Framed Network
Generally, we try as much as possible not to re-publish stuff and provide our readers with original content. It does mean a lot of work needs to be done to write thorough articles and it takes equally as much time. But in the end, it proves to be more rewarding as well. However, every now and then we find something so spectacular, not sharing it with our readers would be a crime. The amazing century-old color photographs fell into that category. And so does Framed Network's project.
Oben CTM-2400 Carbon Fiber Monopod Review
This is a review of the Oben CTM-2400 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod. I have often thought a monopod would be useful to have in low-light situations such as wedding receptions. There are times when there's almost enough light to get the shot, but my shutter speed is low enough that I'm worried about motion blur. A tripod can be cumbersome, especially at a wedding reception, so a monopod seems like the ideal compromise between having a stable camera and not taking up a lot of floor space with a tripod.
Getting Yourself Out There
I have met a lot of great people. Many of them, while being truly brilliant at something, have a hard time understanding their potential. It is sad to see them just drift away wherever life takes them and not take a step of their own. Are you like that? Do you ever stop yourself from going out, meeting people, starting photography or videography projects? While no one can change that but you, I think a little bit of inspiration can go a long way.
What is the Future of DSLR Video?
The video recording capabilities in DSLRs have been the subject of lively discussions ever since video-capable DSLRs have been introduced (with Nikon D90 being the first). At first, some thought it was unnecessary and too cumbersome to be of any practical use, while others embraced the new possibilities and the small (in comparison to high-end video cameras) price they came with. Regardless, the first full-frame camera to do video (and Full HD, at that) – the Canon 5D Mark II – quickly became very popular among amateur cinematographers that could not afford high-end RED cameras. A compromise, but not a too painful one. Both the D90 and, slightly more so, the 5D Mark II offered a very broad lens selection, good to great low-light capabilities and, more importantly, brought aesthetics and shallow depth of field of modern photography into the world of videography.
Nikon D4 – How and Why
You might have already seen this video by Corey Rich on the Nikon D4 when the camera was announced. It profiles some of the best athletes such as Alex Honnold (the guy that "free solo" climbed the Half Dome with his bare hands), showing them in action. Here is the video if you have not seen it:

READ MORE- Grave concern for two Irish missing following New Zealand's earthquake
The body of a Kerry man who died in the recent earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand has been recovered, the Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed.
JJ O'Connor had been missing since the quake hit on February 22 after becoming trapped under the rubble of the Pyne Gould Guinness building in the center of the city.
Since the quake struck rescue workers have been working tirelessly to free those trapped under the rubble, but early last week they warned that there was no hope of finding any more survivors among the wreckage.
Originally from Abbeydorney, Co. Kerry, O'Connor is survived by his wife Sarah and their two-year-old son Daniel. The deceased man's wife is expecting their second child in May.
The family had been living in New Zealand since last September, and the 40-year-old Irishman had begun working at the Pyne Gould Guinness accountancy firm soon after.
It is understood that he will be buried in New Zealand.
So far two Irish people have been confirmed as fatal victims of the quake. Owen McKenna originally from Co. Monaghan also perished in the earthquake.

I haven't been clearing any trees myself lately as someone stole my chainsaw that I had stashed by the river (chainsaw karma is a *beep*).
Thanks for blowing the leaves of the trail Dustin. I got lucky and rode it either the day you finished or the next. Not only did it make riding more enjoyable but it introduced me to all the trails that other people are riding. I've only been riding about two-thirds of the trails that are out there (for decades). Following the cleared trails was like having turn-by-turn navigation.

3rd rail issues...
1. Foreign Policy
2. Illegal War and War Powers
3. AIPAC influence
4. Abolishing a 'Central Bank'
5. Using only Gold & Silver as 'Money'
6. Abolishing the IRS
7. Abolishing the Income Tax replacing it with nothing
8. Abolishing Foreign Aid completely (Israel included)
The 'Blaze' (and their founder) will never touch these issues..
and if you go to the 'issues' page of their endorsed candidates
like this one..
they won't touch them either.
Does that make the Ron Paul people 'Purists'?
No. It makes us Constitutional Conservatives
and themselves
something less.
Are we 'gaining ground' by (now) seeing Cannabis popularized, regulated and taxed with (now) hordes of politicians demagoging the issue?
No. They are now (just) throwing us bones to imitate 'progress'..
and foster complacency and distraction on the (above) more important issues.
I see the Blaze as co-opting and soothing the ANGER and DISSENT
that it's going to take to change, REALLY change the erosion of Liberty and to chain down the Federal Government.
So yeah.. he has a nice accent,
and Rand Paul has a nice smile,
and they 'kinda' say the 'right' things...
but it's not enough..
not until I see the kind of caliber and truth to power posture
like that of Napalitano and Tom Woods.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Nova Scotia mom faces two added charges in death of nine-year-old daughter
BRIDGEWATER, N.S. - A Nova Scotia woman charged with impaired driving causing the death of her nine-year-old daughter is facing two additional charges.
RCMP said Tuesday they have laid charges of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death against Candice Roxanne Moore of Pleasantville.
Moore was also facing one count of refusing to comply with a demand for a breath sample.
RCMP Sgt. Derek Smith said the additional charges were laid about two weeks ago.
Police have said the 30-year-old woman's daughter was killed after being dropped off at a home in Pleasantville at around noon on Jan. 19.
They say the Olive Moore was standing in the road when she was struck by a van as it left the driveway.
She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Candice Moore is scheduled to make a court appearance Wednesday in Bridgewater, N.S.

An energy storage capacitor after being charged, is discharged across an electrically conductive solid propellant by means of a movable electrode contacting the propellant, and the resulting direct ohmic heating of the face of the propellant results in impulse producing vaporization thereof.
1. In a thruster particularly well adopted for use in a small space satellite the improvement comprising:
(a) a solid propellant body made of an electrically conductive material;
(b) electrode means for directly applying voltage pulses across a portion of said solid propellant body sufficient to cause ohmic heating therein capable of vaporizing said solid propellant; and
(c) a capacitor type voltage source coupled to said electrode means and having an energy storage capacitor charged during a charge-up period for producing said voltage pulses, and wherein said electrode means includes actuator means for mechanically displacing a movable electrode member of said electrode means into contact with said solid propellant body after charge-up of said energy storage capacitor.
2. The thruster of claim 1 wherein said solid propellant body has an annular shape and is in contact with an outer cylindrical electrode, and said movable electrode member is displaced along a central axis contained within said solid propellant body.
3. The thruster of claim 2 wherein said solid propellant body is made of an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of carbon, and material having atomic weights heavier than carbon.
4. The thruster of claim 2 wherein said solid propellant body is made of an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of carbon, barium and lead.
5. The thruster of claim 3 wherein said solid propellant body is made of an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of carbon, barium and lead.
6. The thruster of claim 1 wherein said solid propellant body is made of an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of carbon, and material having atomic weights heavier than carbon.
7. The thruster of claim 6 wherein said solid propellant body is made of an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of carbon, barium and lead.
8. The thruster of claim 1 wherein said electrode means includes a non-movable solid state switch for applying said voltage across a portion of said solid propellant body.
The present invention may be made by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon.
There is a need for improved plasma thrust generators or thrusters for controlling the orientation and maneuvering of small power-limited satellites in space of 100 watts or less. These small satellites are expected to be widely used for Air Force and commercial applications. Such attitude control thrusters should be packaged in small lightweight containers and be highly efficient so as to employ small amounts of power, typically less than 100 watts.
Pulsed power thrusters (PPTs) are presently commercialized for use on small power limited satellites which employ solid inert propellants such as "Teflon" polymer. An energy storing capacitor, charged up in about a second, is rapidly discharged in about 10 microseconds at high instantaneous power to vaporize the propellant and produce thrust. The solid propellant eliminates the engineering complexity associated with prior art gaseous propellants, and is converted to vapor and is partially ionized by a surface discharge. Acceleration is accomplished by a combination of thermal and electromagnetic forces to create usable thrust.
The problem with these prior art PPTs is that typical thrust efficiencies for flight models are generally about ten percent or less. The low thrust efficiency is attributable to both low propellant efficiency and low energy efficiency. Further research has shown that energy used to create the magnetic field that accelerates the plasma is poorly used, and significant resistive diffusion of the magnetic field into the plasma is observed. The magnetic energy associated with this field is diffused into the plasma as heat, creating minimal thrust through thermal acceleration.
Propellant conversion is initiated through a surface discharge, and sustained through soft X-ray deposition from the plasma arc, initiated by a sparkplug igniter, and a significant portion of the resulting radiative energy is deposited too deep in the propellant to be used in the discharge. This energy preheats the propellant bar and decreases the propellant efficiency, and energy used to break the strong bonds of the Teflon polymer is unavailable to produce thrust. Also, the mass and energy of the igniter circuit decreases energy efficiency and increases dry mass. Additionally, the plasma component in the PPT has an excessive velocity, and it would be preferable to increase the mass of the plasma component to increase thrust, at the expense of exhaust velocity.
Thus, it is desirable to provide a more capable, low mass, thruster of less than 100 watts, and at reduced cost. It is also desirable to provide a thruster consuming less propellant for a given satellite maneuver.
The improved pulse generator of the invention eliminates the prior art spark plug igniter, and converts a solid electrically conductive propellant to vapor through direct ohmic heating. A mechanical switch, including a movable electrode, briefly contacts a face of the electrically conductive propellant only after a capacitor of a capacitor type voltage source is charged over a time period of about a second or so. Thus, failures associated with carbonization of the propellant face, which can short the electrodes, are avoided. Since heating is ohmic, the heat deposition depth can be controlled by adjusting he current skin depth by varying the capacitor discharge frequency or propellant resistance. Carbon is an acceptable propellant and heavier materials such as barium or lead can be employed to increase the accelerant mass to increase the thrust, while beneficially decreasing the exhaust velocity.
Other features of the invention will become more apparent upon study of the following description, taken in conjunction with the sole FIGURE, schematically showing an embodiment of the invention.
The thrust generator of the present invention can use a coaxial design having an annular solid propellant bar 1, of an electrically conductive propellant such as carbon. An adjustable time constant capacitor type voltage source 2 can be provided, having a capacitor 5 which is charged in about a second, to a voltage sufficient to cause ohmic heating and vaporization of the propellant during the rapid capacitor discharge period, which can be about ten microseconds. After the capacitor is fully charged, movable cathode electrode 3 is displaced to the left by solenoid/motor unit 9 to make contact with face 4 of the propellant, and current flows to the annular anode 6 to produce the heating and vaporization needed to create the desired impulse thrust. The current penetrates into the propellant face, is limited by skin depth effects, and may be varied if desired.
The depth of current penetration into the face of the propellant, and thus the localized ohmic heating, may be beneficially varied by a change in the discharge frequency of the adjustable capacitor type voltage source 2, or by changing the conductivity of the propellant. The resulting ohmic heating quickly increases the propellant temperature to transform the conductive propellant to a vapor. Pressure near the face of the propellant increases to the Paschen minimum, and the breakdown transfers to the vapor, ionizing the vapor to plasma. The plasma can be accelerated in the manner known by those skilled in this art, by the Lorentz force to create the thrust.
The thruster can be operated in either a single-shot or a continuous mode by changing the control mode of solenoid/motor actuator means 9, which can take numerous configurations familiar to those skilled in the electro-mechanical arts. For dedicated single shot operation, required for attitude control, a solenoid pulls the movable electrode 3 to the left via elongated insulator member 10, to produce the ohmic heating. The capacitor voltage can be applied to movable cathode 3 via a flexible conductive braid 11 to initiate capacitor discharge. Feed springs 12 are provided to bias the annular propellant bar against ledge portion 13 of annular anode 6. The capacitor voltages can be applied by means of stripe line conductors 16 and 17 as indicated. Hence, for dedicated single shot applications, cathode 3 can be controlled by a solenoid, servo, or stepping motor, whereas for continuous operation, the electrode can be translated by a motor to be oscillated to repetitively drive the electrode into and out of contact with the propellant face 4, creating a series of thrust impulses. These implementations are of course all within the skill of workers in the art, and thus need not be explained in greater detail. Energy dissipated in the illustrated sliding-contact switch contributes to the total discharge energy, and such can be eliminated by providing a fixed electrode and a semiconductor switch in series with the capacitor 5, to do away with the moving of electrode 3.
Regarding the propellant material, one of our prototypes was designed to use carbon, but heavier materials such as barium or lead would increase the accelerant mass that could decrease excessive exhaust velocity and yet increase thrust. However, it is believed that virtually any electrical conductor could be used, including elements or compounds, and mixtures thereof.
Variations of the foregoing will readily occur to skilled workers in the art and thus the scope of the invention is to be limited solely by the terms of the following claims and art recognized equivalents thereto.

Electrolux Washers & Dryers
tabteacherApril 3, 2013
Does anyone have any experience or info/reviews on Electrolux Washer EIFLS60LSS or Electrolux Dryer EIMGD60LSS.
Sherrie Moore
I don't know about the exact models you are asking about. I have an Electrolux front load washer and dryer. Model is the IQ-Touch series I bought 3 years ago. No problems. Love them.
Thanks to all of you who replied. We ended up buying them & got them on Friday. So far they are sooooooo much better than my Fisher Paykel that they replaced.
I have noticed a very strong odor in the washer. It doesn't get on the laundry, but it is so strong it gives me a headache. Have any of you noticed the same thing? I didn't notice it in the store.
