Low cost large scale water filtration
Conferences & Talks
- Meng Lean
Sustainable Urban Development Workshop @ NASA Ames
9 January 2009 - 10 January 2009
Mountain View, California, USA
This presentation describes a novel and highly scalable technology for conventional water treatment. Features include: high throughput, purely fluidic, continuous flow, size-selective method for particulate extraction without a physical barrier; and accelerated aggregation kinetics from mixing and transporting chemical coagulant and raw water in confined channels. Together, the combined effects allow for in-line coagulation, flocculation, and immediate hydrodynamic separation of pin floc. This integrated approach using both spiral mixers and spiral separators eliminate flocculation and sedimentation steps, resulting in significant savings in capital cost (reduced land area, equipment, and infrastructures), and operations and maintenance cost (50% reduction in chemical use, low energy, and faster processing time from raw to finished water). This technology is also directly relevant to many other applications including: industrial water purification, waste water reclaim, power plant cooling tower, pre-treatment for RO, and almost any instance where reduction of TSS loading prevents clogging and extends the time between cleaning for many MF and UF membranes.

The name usually possessed by heroes e.g: Eddie Murphy. There is a story that says a thirteen year old boy by the name of Eddie Connolly, who had a heroically enormous penis (this played a part in his story) protected his town from the evil Larry Murphy by sacrificing himself, at the risk of his anal virginity. But what Larry didn't know was that Eddie had a secret weapon, his knob-whip! He continuously whipt Larry in the face and managed to spunk in his eyes resulting in Larry getting pink-eye. Larry went home and never returned, a cowardly man who only respected children for their virginity. And Eddie remained the hero he ever was.

Extreamly hot and sexy person
Wow, I am attracted to you because you are such an Eddie!
by Thomas Chen February 06, 2007
Male term for "Betty". Someone who is attractive, sexy, with tremendous sex appeal. Physical appearance can only be described as "HOT LIKE FIRE!" Uncontrollable vaginal dripping and extreme urge to perform fellatio may occur when confronted with this type of individual.
My legs gave out and I fell to my knees with anticipation when I saw that he was an Eddie.
On a scale of Eddie to 10, how hot is he?
Brad Pitt? No way! He's an Eddie.

Focusing control method for reading/writing optical disc
Image Number 6 for
United States Patent #7847812
A label pattern can be created on a label side of an optical disc under well focus control. An optical disc is first loaded in an optical disc drive with the label side thereof facing to an optical head of the optical disc drive. Then, the optical head is actuated along a focusing direction. Meanwhile, a light intensity addition signal is generated in response to optical signals reflected from the optical disc and received by the optical head. A closed-loop control operation of the optical head is performed according to the light intensity addition signal after the light intensity addition signal up-crosses a threshold. Then, a label pattern can be defined on the label side of the optical disc with the closed-loop control operation.

Jada Pinkett Smith Goes On The Sunny Side Of Life
Jada Pinkett-Smith doesn't step out too often, but when she does, she does it right. The star showed up in a gorgeous, forward-thinking yellow gown at the New York premiere of the groundbreaking Shola Lynch documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners , and boy, did she have us ready for some warm weather!
Though the sunny color might be slightly out of sync with the film's heavy subject — in which civil rights leader and former Black Panther affiliate speaks out for the first time about her arrest and branding as a "dangerous terrorist" — we're not complaining. Her presence, along with husband Will Smith, Liya Kebede, and Davis herself, has already helped catapult the movie into the public eye. So, it's a good thing Jada had her trusty, on-trend strappy sandals and box clutch on hand for the paparazzi!

A blog post by Misel Mesnjak and Slaven Tomac about JavaCro 2016 from backend and frontend developer perspective.
Amphinicy is exhibiting on the TSS 2016, a major global forum dedicated to the progress in space infrastructure, technologies and applications taking place from 28-30th June 2016 in Toulouse, France.
Last couple of years, a discussion about finding qualified employees in the IT is present in the media, conferences and internal talks at various IT companies. The conclusion has usually been the same: finding qualified employees is tough – due to emigration, increasing number of IT companies and market demand which is higher than the number of available employees.
We are looking for passionate and talented Software Engineers (m/f) with experience in Java development and enterprise technologies.

Amphinicy Technologies is a premium provider of complex and advanced software solutions for clients world-wide in the satellite domain. Amphinicy team of experts is recognized for delivering software that understands the satellite industry. Would you like to know why?
Amphinicy has been a regular visitor to the biggest exhibition and show in the satellite industry for the last eight years in a row. This year the show is taking place in an even larger convention center in Washington DC metro area (USA), March 7 - 10, 2016. To make a switch, this year we will be one of the exhibitors. The presentation will be focused on our three ascending products - Monica, Blink, and SatScout.
Monopoly and Risk - as much as I hate using those two as an example of popular board games, it's a fact that most people have at least heard of them, if not played a game or two. Why do I hate (using) them, you may ask?! It's simply because there are so many better board games out there, but they are just not that well known. Unless you are a gamer, or a geek ... or both.
Although being a programming paradigm that already exists for decades and which is adored by many computer scientists, outside of the academic world, there are pretty few software engineers who care about functional programming.
So, why, one might ask, should I care about functional programming?
Wow, 2016 is already here!
It is time to wish you all the best in new year - a lot of private joy, and business prosperity! It is also a time where one shall take a look behind and draw a bottom line of the previous year! And, after running through my 2015 calendar, I can only tell you - Wow, what an awesome year that was!
On Wednesday, 20 January 2016, an electoral assembly of the CISEx Association was held. They adopted the report on the activities and financial operations of the organization, proposed amendments to the Statute of the Association and the election of a new governing body of the association - Board of Directors and the Court of Honour.

In a recent article, VICE News speculated that the Department of Justice's initiative Operation Choke Point may be putting pressure on banks like Chase to terminate the accounts of several high-profile porn performers, including Teagan Presley, Stoya, and Chanel Preston. On Twitter many other porn performers claimed that their accounts were being closed, and that they had been offered little explanation beyond being labeled "high risk." An insider at Wells Fargo responded, "We encourage these industry workers to come to us," according to TMZ. By the time Mother Jones was pushing back with a "Chase representative" claiming that Choke Point was not singling out people in the porn industry, I was exasperated.
By and large, these articles failed to mention the fact that sex workers like myself are shut out of institutions every single day. Whorephobia, the fear and hatred of sex workers, is one of the very first things every single sex worker learns how to navigate.

Lakeview Elementary School Principal Dawn Marisch will not be well enough by fall to return to her duties, due to a sudden medical emergency that almost took her life last month.
Muskego-Norway School District officials had hoped that she would be able to return by the start of school, but now it looks like Marisch will not be ready to return until late December.
So, she and former Lakeview principal Alan Groth will switch jobs, the School Board decided.
Groth was Lakeview's principal for nine years before becoming director of student learning in 2007. And Marisch has excellent potential to be successful in a curriculum and instruction role at the district level, Superintendent Joe Schroeder wrote in a letter Monday to Lakeview parents. That position also gives flexibility for a gradual return to work as opposed to the job of principal with its daily demands, Schroeder said.
Marisch will report to Tammy Kapp, director of school performance, he said.

Primary search strategy
We conducted a search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Chinese literature databases (CNKI, CQVIP, and Wanfang databases) for articles published from January 2007 to February 2012. The following subject terms were used: '

Statistical analysis
The Metan module in the STATA 11.0 software package was used to perform the meta-analysis on genotype frequencies. The strength of the association between each SNP and T2DM risk was measured by determining ORs with 95% CIs. The Z test was used to determine the statistical significance of pooled ORs. Heterogeneity index (
Non-risk and risk alleles were represented by A1 and A2, respectively. The OR for the risk allele A2, A1/A2 was compared to that for A1/A1, and the OR for A2/A2 was compared to for A1/A1.
The present meta-analysis evaluated the association between three SNPs in
Publication bias was investigated with funnel plots
Inclusion of SNPs for analysis
Among SNPs previously associated with T2DM risk in the Chinese population, only three were adequately represented in the selected literature and had sufficient low minor allele frequency (MAF) to be included in our meta-analysis: rs7903146, rs11196218, and rs290487. We found that Hapmap data (HapMap Data Rel 27 Phase II+III, Feb09, on NCBI B36 assembly, dbSNP b126) indicate that, in the Chinese population, the linked disequilibrium (LD) structure places D' at 1.0 unit between rs7903146 and rs290487, 1.0 unit between rs7903146 and rs11196218, and 0.059 unit between rs290487 and rs11196218 (Figure

When people from the northern and southern regions of China were each considered independently, we found that the allele and genotype of rs7903146 ORs remained significant for both subgroups (see Additional file
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis was performed by omitting one study at a time. None of the individual studies influenced the final conclusions for rs290487. Likewise, removal of studies did not affect the conclusion for the risk allele A and the A homozygotes versus G homozygotes comparison for rs11196218, nor the conclusions for the risk allele T and the heterozygotes versus C homozygotes comparison for rs7903146. However, when Ying Zhang et al.'s study

The present results also differ from those Takeuchi et al.'s meta-analysis published in 2009
The results in our meta-analysis regarding the rs7903146 risk allele T and genotype CT were similar to those reported in 2009 by Tong et al.
When we separated northern Chinese from southern Chinese, the pattern of our risk results changed for rs290487. Specifically, when southern Chinese subjects were analyzed separatedly, we obtained significant OR for the C homozygotes versus T homozygotes comparison for rs290487, pointing to an increased T2DM risk for C homozygotes.
Heterogeneity is a potential problem when interpreting the results of meta-analyses
Violations of the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions can cause deviations from expectation due to improper sampling. The genotypes of both cases and controls did not deviate significantly from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in any of the 21 reported deemed eligible for inclusion in our study.
Pooling risk estimates from multiple studies can increase statistical power. To our knowledge, our meta-analysis is the largest such study of this question selectively involving Chinese subjects. However, there are several limitations inherent in performing a meta-analysis of this kind that shoud be noted. First, due to the lower MAF of some

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The redesigned Honda CR-V is No. 1 on the list of the most-researched new vehicles of 2012 on www.kbb.com announces Kelley Blue Book, the leading provider of new and used car information. In addition, Kelley Blue Book reveals the top 20 most-researched new vehicles and the top five brands with the greatest share of market interest on its website for 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121108/LA08161LOGO)
KBB.com's Top 20 Most-Researched New Vehicles of 2012
1. Honda CR-V
6. Ford F-150
11. Chevrolet Equinox
16. Kia Optima
2. Toyota Camry
7. Hyundai Sonata
12. Toyota Highlander
17. Toyota RAV4
3. Honda Civic
8. Ford Escape
13. Ford Focus
18. Toyota Corolla
4. Honda Accord
9. Nissan Altima
14. Volkswagen Jetta
19. BMW 3 Series
5. Hyundai Elantra
10. Mazda Mazda3
15. Kia Sorento
20. Honda Odyssey
This year's success story is the Mazda3, entering the top 20 most-researched new vehicles of 2012 at No. 10, making significant climbs from its spot at No. 29 in 2011. The Mazda3's victory can be attributed to the vehicle's fuel efficiency and affordability, sparking interest among car shoppers.
"The Mazda3 resonated with KBB.com visitors during 2012 as gas prices were fluctuating, and due to its affordability it continues to remain top-of-mind among new-car shoppers," said Akshay Anand, market intelligence Web analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "During 2012, Mazda had a solid year with its refocused brand image and Skyactiv® Technology, which touts fuel efficiency and technology innovations. With a redesign of the popular Mazda3 on the horizon and the mid-size Mazda6 redesign set for release early this year, Mazda will drive more consumer interest to the brand in 2013."
KBB.com's Top Five Brands with Greatest Share of Market Interest among New-Car Shoppers in 2012
2012 Share of Market Interest on KBB.com
Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet and Hyundai (respectively) are the top five brands with the highest share of market interest, defined as the percent of new-car shopper activity for a particular brand, on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com for 2012.
Toyota retained its No. 1 spot and the brand's market share increased 1 percent on KBB.com in 2012. Meanwhile, this year Honda moved up one position to the second most-researched brand on KBB.com, increasing 0.5 percent from 2011. Ford moved down to No. 3 on the list, while Chevrolet and Hyundai maintained the same positions when compared to 2011 as the fourth and fifth most-researched brands, respectively.
"Holding the No. 1 spot as the most-shopped brand on KBB.com year after year, Toyota's brand interest in 2012 primarily was propelled by the redesign of its immensely popular flagship," said Anand. "Toyota really hit the mark with its redesigned Camry, and millions of KBB.com visitors proved their interest as this model was the second most-researched vehicle on the site in 2012. When redesigning the Camry, Toyota successfully created a stand-out vehicle in the extremely competitive mid-size sedan segment."
Regaining the title as the second most-researched brand on KBB.com since it last held the position in 2010, Honda leapfrogged over Ford (which held the No. 2 spot in 2011) driven by the success of the redesigned CR-V and Accord. The redesigned CR-V captured the most attention of KBB.com visitors during 2012, increasing shopper activity and moving the model from No. 4 in 2011 to No. 1 in 2012.
Since 2004, the Honda Civic, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry remain among the top five most-researched new vehicles on KBB.com. While these models remained among the top five once again in 2012, several other vehicles either entered the list for the first time or significantly shifted position when compared to recent years. New entrants to the top 20 most-researched new vehicles in 2012 include the Kia Sorento and the Kia Optima. In addition, the BMW 3 Series appears on the list again this year for the first time since 2010.
"Jumping 19 spots from 2011 to 2012, the Optima's impressive increase in popularity on KBB.com this year proved that Kia has done a remarkable job sustaining interest in the model with clever advertising and new trim options, despite the fact that the Optima was not a new redesign in 2012," said Anand. "Meanwhile, the BMW 3 Series was the only luxury vehicle on the top 20 most-researched new vehicles list on KBB.com for 2012. The 3 Series is a longtime stalwart in the entry-level luxury vehicle category, and its recent redesign coupled with its impressive heritage remains an advantage to BMW against its competitors."
A number of popular new or redesigned models also increased their standing for 2012 versus 2011, including the Ford Escape, up 12 positions from 2011 to No. 8 in 2012, and the Nissan Altima, increasing three spots to No. 9. At the same time, many vehicles that are standard candidates on the annual most-researched new vehicles list dropped a few positions in the 2012 rankings. The Honda Odyssey fell five positions to No. 20 for 2012, while the Toyota Corolla fell four spots to No. 18. Vehicles that claimed a top 20 spot on the 2011 list but did not secure a spot for 2012 include the Toyota Prius, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Fusion and Ford Explorer; however, each model ranked among the top 30.

Lawyer: Fla. deputy should have helped shot suspect
The deputy did not help the suspect after he was no longer a threat, lawyer asserts
By Alexandra Seltzer
Palm Beach Post
LOXAHATCHEE GROVES, Fla. — His body riddled with bullets fired by an undercover Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy, Seth Adams was clinging to life as he crawled across a darkened parking lot for help, an attorney representing Adams' family said Thursday.
West Palm Beach attorney Valentin Rodriguez told The Palm Beach Post that instead of trying to stop the 24-year-old Loxahatchee Groves man from bleeding to death, deputies tackled his brother, David Adams, who ran out of the family trailer on A Road to rescue him.
"He could have been saved," Rodriguez told the Post after meeting with the family Thursday. "This was complete disregard for his medical care. These weren't shots to kill. You're supposed to render aid."

ASRY, a ship and rig repair yard in the Arabian Gulf, has welcomed a new dedicated living quarters outfitter and HVAC facility operated by UAE-based Seven Seas within the yard. The facility includes a metal fabrication workshop, a carpentry workshop, offices and stores, and will increase the variety and quality of accommodation and air conditioning works ASRY can offer ship and rig clients. The facility was launched at a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included ASRY Chief Executive Nils Kristian Berge, ASRY Technical Resources and Business Development General Manager Magdy Mustafa and Seven Seas Chairman and Owner Freddy Sidhwa and CEO and Owner Shahvir Sidhwa and Managing Director Craig Roseas well as other officials from both companies.
"ASRY is well-known for its range of onsite specialist contractors, of which Seven Seas is a leading example, and one of a series of new additions," said Berge. "This is the third development made under Project Jupiter, an initiative launched in 2014 to make ASRY the leading provider of onsite specialist contractors in the Middle East. We have already announced two developments of this project – a new SOLAS facility under development, and a new ABB workshop recently opened – and this new Seven Seas facility is the third announcement, with more still to come this year. ASRY's partnerships with companies like Seven Seas are integral to our development, and I look forward to our companies achieving even more growth together."
Craig Rose, Seven Seas Managing Director, said at the event, "This is a proud day for the company in opening our $800,000 investment which will greatly enhance the local services that can be offered to both ASRY and their international clients when rigs and vessels arrive for upgrades and repairs. We are also looking to use our new fabrication facilities and stores to be able to produce various living quarters solutions, from containerized fire rated cabin units, through to furniture, HVAC and general outfitting services."
Seven Seas and ASRY have a fruitful and long-standing relationship in Bahrain, with Seven Seas providing living quarters outfitting and HVAC services over many projects in the yard over recent years and especially since the start of the ASRY Offshore Division. This new facility has two workshops, one for metal fabrication, producing HVAC and architectural items and another shop for carpentry, building high quality furniture and architectural items. New substantial stores will house a well-stocked inventory of materials that will enable a rapid response when rigs and vessels come in for repairs. There are also camp facilities for the local workforce that have been built in ASRY by Seven Seas as part of the substantial long term investment in the yard.
ASRY Technical Resources and Business Development General Manager, Magdy Mustafa, also confirmed that under the scope of the co-operation agreement, Seven Seas will also be able to provide its services to the local market. This will positively contribute in the national income of the Kingdom of Bahrain and provide training and job opportunities to Bahrainis on new types of specialized activities and skills.

As Utah's immigration battle brews, Sen. Luz Robles maintains her voice
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh. That could be my little girl,'" said Robles. Her daughter, snuggled up next to her, had "the same bangs, the same little pony tail" as the girl in the drawing.
"Is this really what America is about: racial profiling?" Robles worried.
Two weeks later, she recruited Paul Mero, director of the Sutherland Institute, and together they got to work creating an alternative state solution.
"I went into panic mode," Robles said.
The resulting piece of legislation is "the most complex public policy" Mero has ever dealt with, he said. Immigration experts called it the "most innovative state solution" to be introduced thus far in the United States.
"We don't want to drive undocumented immigrants under ground," Mero said.
The bill has drawn criticism from the left and the right.
Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City, called it "borderline dishonest because it's not possible." In order to implement her plan, Robles would have to get a waiver from the federal government. Lawyers have questioned whether such a waiver would be constitutional.
"An immigrant like her should know better than to give immigrants false hope," Yapias said. "She might get it passed, but she'll never get federal approval."
He said Robles never consulted the Hispanic community when constructing the bill.
"We would have liked to have had some say," he said.
Since the legislative session started, the threats have been rolling in — via Facebook, e-mail and phone.
Robles got a concealed gun permit on principle, but she's one of the few legislators who doesn't keep a pistol tucked inside her suit coat. Sometimes after an immigration debate or press conference, when the people, impassioned and angry, paw at her and growl threats through their teeth, she's grateful to be walking with her policy rival, Sandstrom.
"I feel safer," she said. "He packs heat."
She used to cry when people would send her hate mail. Sometimes she still does. But for the most part, the discussion of immigration policy has toughened Robles' skin.
"Luz is a warrior," Mero said. "She's not afraid to fight for what she believes in."
It's a month later, and Robles is sitting in the Senate Chamber, anxiously tuning in and out of the online broadcast of the House's discussion of Sandstrom's bill on Feb. 18. The debate, filled with heated cries against "amnesty," lasts two nail-biting hours. When Robles hears the vote — 58-15 in favor — she isn't surprised, but she feels a little sick.
"There's a lot of misconception about the bill," she says with a sad tone in her voice. "We are so limited in terms of what we can do for enforcement."
In her quest — the quest for an immigrant-friendly state solution — she remains undaunted. Robles still thinks her bill can pass.
"My bill is still gonna have a fair chance," she said. "I'm positive the legislators will consider all the options and vote for the best approach."

ESPN Vetted Ray Lewis' Past Before Hiring Him As NFL Analyst
Published March 14, 2013
GETTING DROPPED IN THE DEEP END: Lewis made the rounds at ESPN yesterday, appearing on several different programs, and he was repeatedly asked about the Ravens' offseason moves. He said, "I see all of my former teammates signing huge deals, going here, going there, and I'm just so happy for them." He noted Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome has does a "great job in what he does." Lewis: "At the same time, I believe he has his work cut out for him. But I think he's up for the challenge" ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 3/13). Lewis said the loss of the players by the Ravens is "more surprising because of the way it was done," especially the way WR Anquan Boldin was traded to the 49ers. The Ravens reportedly did not call Boldin to tell him he had been traded, and Lewis said, "I know the business side takes care of itself and that's one thing. But with all of the moves that's being made, to do it that way..." Lewis said the franchise did a similar player turnover prior to the '01 season after winning the Super Bowl, and it "took us years as an organization to recover from that" ("NFL Live," ESPN, 3/13).

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) website, www.cancercenter.com, has been awarded Sitecore's "2013 Best Customer/User Experience Award." Sitecore is the global leader in customer experience management software. Cancercenter.com received this recognition after undergoing a year-long redesign that involved not only graphic and content updates, but extensive rework of its navigation. The site's improved usability and visitor experience were cited as the primary reasons for its selection as the award winner.
"Being recognized for a great User Experience is a true honor for us," said Matt Eaves, Director, Engagement at CTCA. "Going online to research and learn about cancer is typically one of the first steps a person takes after being diagnosed, and our goal is to serve as a helpful partner throughout their cancer journey. We wanted cancercenter.com to provide a user experience that was easy and intuitive to navigate, with content that is both relevant and useful for cancer patients, their families, and friends."

This year's award judges considered the creative applications of Sitecore to deliver outstanding and transformative business results, integration with applications, multichannel engagement, and overall site experience.
"Cancercenter.com gets over 1,000,000 unique visitors every month, so the site had to be adapted to meet a wide range of user needs," said Eaves.

The worst of Ariza and Odom
PORTLAND, Ore. -- As most of us are well aware by now, both Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom will be free agents at season's end, and Jerry Buss' budget seems unlikely to fit both of them.
Although we saw some of the worst of Ariza and Odom in the Lakers' ugly loss to the Trail Blazers, it's nothing those inside the Lakers' circle didn't already know was inside Ariza and Odom.
The one thing about these issues is that Ariza is young enough at 23 that maybe some of his tempermental nature on the court can be ascribed to immaturity and perhaps he'll control his emotions better as his career moves forward. His intensity and competitiveness is good, no doubt.
Odom, 29, has these occasional brain locks that just aren't going to disappear. It is something you've got to accept about him if you're going to invest in him to get his versatile floor game.
