Jean de Dinteville
The picture shown above was created by the Hungarian artist Istvįn Orosz. Istvan has an interest in anamorphic designs, and this picture contains an anamorphic image. If instead of looking directly at the screen, you move your head around towards the left hand side of your computer screen (as you look at it), so that you are looking across the screen, you should see the head and shoulders of a man - his name is Jean de Dinteville.
Who is Jean de Dinteville? Well, he was a French nobleman who came to England as an ambassador in the 1530s. He was one of the two people shown in a famous painting by Holbein - he is the figure on the left.
The Holbein picture is famous partly for the strange object at the bottom of the picture - it is actually an anamorphic image of a skull, but you have to look almost from the edge of the canvas for this to become apparent. The skull can be seen as a reminder that we are mortal, and that life is fleeting.
The work of Istvįn Orosz is reproduced here with his permission. More examples of his work can be found at his web site, and also at the Gallery Diabolus.
On the next page, there is a view of the painting from the side, which shows Jean de Dinteville as the artist, Istvįn Orosz, intends you to see him.

|fwg is a long-term project of the ottawa field-naturalists' club
Interpretive Centre
OUR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE contains a wealth of information on wildlife, gardening, and conservation. Displays, plant and animal lists, "how to" leaflets, and a resource library may all be consulted to inform you about any aspect of our regional environment. If you drop by on Friday mornings, you'll meet some of the hard-working people who take care of the demonstration backyard garden.
On Sunday afternoons (noon to 4 p.m.) during the summer, the centre is staffed by a volunteer who can help you find an identification guide, sign you up to receive our newsletter, or let you know what's going on at the garden. This is also a good chance for you to find out what it's like to work at the FWG!
Although the building is closed for the winter, our bulletin board and window dioramas will show you what birds can be found here, how to plan your natural garden, and much more. Pick up a brochure about the project or a guide to help you discover the highlights along the Bill Holland Trail.
Start of the Bill Holland Trail, the path that winds through the various habitats at the FWG. In 1998 (top photo), the area in front of the centre was relatively open. Six years later, many of the native trees and shrubs we planted had grown so much that we could no longer see neighbouring AAFC buildings.

It looks like you're trying to tweak old AWT code. Don't override update(Graphics). Swing has a different painting mechanism, and is double buffered by default.
If you're using getGraphics() of a component, don't.
It also looks like you're unaware of Swing's single threaded rule.
If I am to move smaller visual items around, I have to redraw (update) the entire region each pixel move.There's an overload of repaint(...) that saves you from that.

not public void paint(Graphics g)
and not to call paint(Graphics g) or update(graphics g)
but simply repaint();
What genius! Problems solved, flickers gone!! Thank you all!

text: In 1811, when Simeon De Witt, Gouverneur Morris, and John Rutherfurd were commissioned to create an urban plan for the island of Manhattan, they came up with a fairly soulless solution. Their grid lacked parks and plazas. Streets cut through private property, much of which the government appropriated. Though some streets remained unfinished for decades, the grid ultimately sent property values soaring by lending the city a density and navigability. It also left the flexibility to accommodate Central Park. Celebrating the bicentennial of that feat, The Greatest Grid: The Master Plan of Manhattan, 1811–2011, on display at the Museum of the City of New York, offers prints, maps (an 1811 map by John Randel Jr., the original surveyor, shown), and photographs that chart the city's evolution.

|TAKE - fix hang with mmap writes to a full filesystem
|Steve Lord <lord@xxxxxxx>
|Tue, 2 Oct 2001 17:26:58 -0500
The delayed allocate code in xfs and the way linux created mmapped space in files meant that we got into an infinite loop on a full filesystem and fell off the bottom of the stack. This removes the flushing of mmap data from this case - all we need to do is flush delayed allocate data in the hope it will free some space before we finally give up.

Iolair is the latest Nordhavn 40 to be listed and is the last 40 built with the naturally aspirated Lugger
668D. From new, her home port has been Oban, Scotland and her cruising ground has been on the West Coast of Scotland cruising the beautiful islands and highlands.
Iolair is in excellent order inside and out, and is a wonderful example of what Nordhavn do best. She is built to CE category A. She does not have a flybridge which gives her a strong purposeful look, just like her sister N40 which circumnavigated the world in 26 weeks back in 2003. Iolair could do the same if you so desire!
Her interior is the standard configuration with satin teak finish. She has been very well maintained and
we recommend strongly, viewing her in her home waters. On sunny days she shines, whilst on wet days she is a cosy retreat from the elements. She offers a safe, dependable and comfortable place to be no matter what the elements throw you!

I am a good driver. You'd never know it, given the theatrics of the backseat drivers in my vehicle, whose sudden gasps and quick grasps for the dashboard denote a lack of confidence in my skills.
This drama is alternately amusing, annoying and unnecessary. I'm proud to say that, for the most part, my instinctive go-to practice of "when in doubt, step on the gas" has never let me down.
The same adage can be used to describe the path of bilingual education in America. We push forward without regard to whether our knee-jerk reactions are the best choice.
Historically, English language learners (ELLs) have been thrown into English-speaking classrooms. The goal: to acquire our dominant language as quickly as possible. If institutions make accommodations by providing supportive programs in bilingual education, they often ignore the research that states it takes two or three years before children develop basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS) and five to seven years before cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP) allows the language of learning to become fully realized. If you have ever learned a second language, you know that you can understand what someone is saying long before you can actually speak in that language with any aplomb.
Children learning English need time for this second language to swirl around in their brains before they are able to use it for academic achievement. A fast-paced regimen of quick assimilation has produced mixed results.
In America, negative views surrounding the bilingual education debate have influenced policy and practice. In California, Proposition 227 essentially outlawed bilingual education. This history is full of struggles with conflicting input from "experts" holding incompatible perspectives.
It recalls the influences and history of deaf education in America. The push toward integration has been forceful and unyielding. At one moment in this long history, the pendulum swung toward oralism and speech. Deaf children were made to sit on their hands to dissuade manual communication, and if they forgot the no-signing rule, punishment would be swift. At another time, the pendulum rested on the side of American Sign Language (ASL). Deaf children could express themselves more freely in a language that was natural and authentic. Both approaches brought more questions. What is the best way to teach deaf and hard-of-hearing students?
So it is with a great deal of pride that I find myself teaching at the only public dual-language (ASL and English) school in America with students who are deaf, hard of hearing and hearing. Here, the struggles in bilingual and deaf education come together, allowing us to lift up on the gas to give our students an education based on cultural and linguistic respect. We allow time for language to develop.
We certainly do not have all the answers, but we are constantly questioning and learning. Our little school is adding to the history of both bilingual and deaf education. I look forward to seeing where it leads us.
Wellbrock is an early elementary teacher working with both deaf and hearing students in New York City.

A looming deadline and declined RSVP from a congressman up for re-election will likely result in the cancellation of a candidate forum that had been scheduled to air on a local television station before the Nov. 7 general election.
KNCT-TV invited the District 31 candidates in mid-August to participate in a televised election forum, but the station said it would not produce the program if one of the three candidates was unwilling to participate. Democratic challenger Mary Beth Harrell and Libertarian Matt McAdoo accepted the offer to participate, but a response from U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, has not been received, KNCT-TV officials said.
"Right now, we've only received two and we need three," said Max Rudolph, KNCT-TV general manager. "At this point right now, without the third one, the program will not be aired."
Carter's press secretary, Amy Ellsworth, said the congressman comes home and talks to constituents throughout Central Texas every weekend. She said he's held more than 20 town hall meetings and four telephone town hall meetings this year that have allowed him to interact directly with more than 40,000 constituents.
"Interacting with constituents throughout the 31st District is Congressman Carter's number one priority, and the KNCT-TV debate does not fit his scheduling plan," Ellsworth said.
Harrell and McAdoo disagree, suggesting the long-time congressman's lack of participation is intentional and shows arrogance towards his opponents.
"He's sabotaging the whole process by refusing to go," said Harrell, a Killeen attorney. "He's not answering to the voters and he's deliberately sabotaging the process."
McAdoo, a computer technical support specialist, said Carter's actions are "a little arrogant" because it shows a discourse between the other two candidates.
"Any kind of refusal to debate or show up at candidate forums or anything like that – that is not giving everybody their money's worth," McAdoo said.
Rudolph said if all three candidates were willing to participate, the candidate forum would be recorded in early October and would likely air the week of Oct. 16.
"At this point we're reaching the time that we're going to have to set taping dates fairly quickly," Rudolph said. "We're quickly approaching a deadline for planning purposes."

In the inaugural edition, Ayman Nour announces his plans to run in the country's first multi-candidate presidential election later this year.
Reports from Cairo say the sale of al-Ghad (Tomorrow) was delayed by one day while officials demanded changes.
Mr Nour has been held in custody since January accused of forging documents to launch his party.
Last month President Hosni Mubarak, ruler for 23 years, agreed to hold a multi-candidate vote amid pressure for reform.
'Fabricated claims'
The 40-year-old lawyer was arrested in late January over allegations he forged documents used to secure legal status for his Party of Tomorrow, formed last autumn.
Mr Nour denies the claims, which his supporters describe as fabricated for political reasons.
Al-Ghad's first edition reports that Mr Nour, who chairs the paper's board of directors, asked the party to nominate him as its candidate in the presidential election.
A full-page article is devoted to the constitutional amendment brought in by Mr Mubarak in late February, which allows more than one candidate to stand for the first time.
The paper says opposition parties would find it difficult to present a competitive candidate "as a result of living for nearly 25 years under emergency laws".
'Copies recalled'
The newspaper's publication is likely to be seen as a test of Mr Mubarak's new commitment to open elections.
A senior newspaper official said security officials had demanded a complete rewrite of the front page but eventually backed down and allowed the edition to go out unaltered, Reuters news agency reports.
Mr Nour's wife Gamila Ismail told the AFP news agency on Tuesday that the paper "was printed but even as the copies were in the cars on their way to being distributed, they were recalled".
She said her husband had been thinking about standing as a candidate since the constitutional amendment was passed.
"Of course he knows he won't win and the circumstances surrounding this election will be such that it will be very difficult for other candidates," she said.
A senior source at the government daily al-Ahram, with which al-Ghad had a deal for printing and distribution, denied the claims that distribution had been impeded, telling AFP the paper was only due out on Wednesday in the first place.

Let's Stop Panicking Over Half-Assed Terrorists Already
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab couldn't manage to blow up a plane over Detroit last Christmas, kicking off a year's worth of high-profile terror-fails. But that hasn't stopped the U.S. government from freaking out — putting naked scanners in airports and groping passengers. Overreactions like that compelled one of its senior-most counterterrorism officials yesterday to implore the public not to hand al-Qaeda victories from the jaws of defeat.
"We aim for perfection," Michael Leiter, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told the Center for Strategic and International Studies yesterday, but "perfection will not be achieved." That's perilous for a senior counterterrorism official to say, since, like terrorism, it's easily demagogued. Leiter repeatedly stated that there's no excuse for terrorism; that any successful attack is a tragedy; and that he'd welcome due oversight and criticism of his efforts if a terrorist pulls something off, just in case his admission seemed self-serving.
But in order not to make terrorists seem "ten feet tall" — in other words, inadvertently support their narrative that they're world-historical forces on par with the U.S. — it might be time to publicly de-emphasize terrorism in the public discourse. "Sometimes we ought to just talk about this a lot less," Leiter said. "We shouldn't always be vocal, in my view, and visible about all the things we are doing in our society about counterterrorism."

My nose is not symmetrical and not getting better result after Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 2
Wanting Better Result from Rhinoplasty
It sounds like you have many complaints following your rhinoplasty one year ago. Without pictures we cannot offer any suggestions other than talking to your surgeon and/or getting a second opinion from a revision rhinoplasty specialist.
Revision rhinoplasty
If you had rhinoplasty almost 1 year ago, swelling should be nearly completely resolved by now and you should be able to see the "real" contours of your nose. That being said, however, thick, oily skin tends to retain swelling for a longer period of time and final results tend to be somewhat blunted as the underlying bony and cartilaginous contours are more difficult to see under thicker nasal skin. If your nose is asymmetric at this point, the best course would be to see the surgeon who performed the original surgery and discuss the asymmetries. If you would rather see a new facial plastic surgeon, make sure to bring pictures from before the original surgery and an operative report if available so that you can be evaluated in the context of what was actually done surgically.

Five years in, recovery still underwhelms compared with previous ones
As of this month, the U.S. economy's recovery from the Great Recession is five years old. But given how most Americans rate it, they can be forgiven for not feeling much in the mood for cake and ice cream.
In a Pew Research Center survey from April, only 6% of Americans said the economy was recovering strongly. Two-thirds (66%) said the economy was recovering, but not very strongly; about a quarter (26%) said it wasn't recovering at all. The same survey found that Americans' financial self-assessment had barely budged since June 2009, when the recession officially ended: 37% rated their financial situation "excellent" or "good," 39% "only fair," and 23% "poor."
That persistent economic pessimism is warranted. By several measures — gross domestic product, personal income, job growth and employment ratio — the current recovery is among the weakest on record, particularly given its duration. Unless the economy's official scorekeepers change their minds, the recovery already has lasted 60 months — the fifth-longest expansion since the end of World War II. (Economists divide economic cycles into two phases: expansion (or recovery) and recession. The current recovery is considered to have begun in June 2009, the trough of the recession that started when the economy peaked in December 2007.)
We compared the current recovery's performance on several metrics against the first five years of the other longest-running expansions — those of 1961-69, 1982-90, 1991-2001 and 2001-07. By almost every measure, the current recovery has lagged well behind those of the past.
Consider the broadest measure of economic activity, gross domestic product. Since the second quarter of 2009 (GDP is measured quarterly, not monthly), inflation-adjusted GDP has risen just 10.8% — the slowest growth of any of the five-year periods examined. In fact, as far as GDP goes each recovery since the 1960s has been weaker than the last (see chart).
This recovery is also dogging it on putting people back to work. Since June 2009, the number of nonfarm payroll jobs in the U.S. has grown by just 5.7% — lower job growth than all but one of the prior lengthy expansions. In the first five years of the 1960s recovery, for instance, payrolls grew 17.3%. They grew 16.4% during the first five years of the 1980s "Reagan recovery," and 9.6% during the first five years of the tech-fueled boom of the 1990s.
In every previous recovery before this one, the employment-population ratio — the share of the total civilian population who are employed — has risen (though often not right away, as the jobs cycle typically lags the economic cycle). But this time around, the ratio, which stood at 62% just before the late-2008 financial panic, has bounced between 58% and 59% since September 2009. (Some of that, along with the related decline in the labor force participation rate, likely is due to the impact of Baby Boomers retiring, though analysts disagree on just how much.)
Given the torpid jobs performance, it comes as little surprise that personal income also has lagged. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, per-capita disposable income (after adjusting for inflation) has grown just 3.2% since mid-2009, to $37,038 as of the first quarter of 2014. In previous recoveries, it was much higher: 11.6% in the first five years of the 2001-07 recovery, and 8.7% in the first five years of the 1990s tech boom.
One metric about the current recovery, however, jumps out: the stock market. The benchmark S&P 500 index has more than doubled over the course of the recovery, by far its largest gain of any of the periods we looked at. The index surpassed its pre-crash high in March 2013, and has gone on since to a series of new record highs. (Of course, that's not much comfort to the 44% of Americans who say they don't own stocks.) On another closely tracked measure, the economy regained all of its lost payroll jobs just last month. But even that measure doesn't take into account the population growth during that period. What the chart doesn't show is that there are about 15 million more working-age people now than there were in January 2008, but essentially the same number of jobs.
Americans today are slightly more optimistic about the job market than they were near the start of the recovery, but not much: In the April Pew Research survey, 27% said there were plenty of jobs available in their local area (up from 11% in October 2009), but 65% said jobs were still hard to find, versus 79% in the 2009 survey.

and don't forget, it's bush's fault, excuse me, the new one is, it's fox's fault!!!
The better we get at robotics or approaches to it, the less jobs are created and the tougher it is for the displaced to land one. I don't pay to much atention to education credentials since they are often pretty shallow, but the better educated seem to have s small edge starting out.
would it help if all those minimum wage earners had a skill and maybe a smaller family???
It's called the "Great" Recession because it has been uniquely severe vis-à-vis all the cyclical downturns of the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc. Why don't any analysts, commentators or others compare it to the other truly comparable economic phenomenon, the Great Depression of 1929-40 ? Recovery then took much longer than five years!
and it took a world war to get them out!!!
Anyone living in the top 10% (i.e. annual household income >$160k/year & net worth minus primary residence and vehicles >$1million), these past five and a half years under President Obama and his administration have not just been good years. They have been absolutely extraordinary years. The same holds doubly true if you also count yourself as one of our "Washington DC/Wall Street Patriot Class" citizens. Good times…ehh?
Of course, if you and yours only happened to be living in the top 50-90% brackets, then you will be forgiven if you thought these past few years were ones in which you just struggled to stay financially above water. The bottom 50%, of course, got what they usually get and not a great deal more. Wish I had more to say about this reality, but I do not.
well the over 7 million jobs last year helped a lot!!! unfortunately most of you don't know that 7 million of those were part time!!! why potus doesn't want to tell anyone is a puzzler!!!
Can you say 'ZLB'? When you come into a recession with interest rates that are low by historical standards (due to lack of distribution leading to the fact that things weren't all that strong to begin with) there's not a whole lot of room in which to operate, especially when large-scale infrastructure spending has been preemptively taken off the table politically.
No room for the traditional 'V'.
what are they doing with trillions in tax money???

In so far as AoIR is not a branch of the US Government, >AoIR has every right to set limits on people's expression. Actually, case law interprets the first amendment quite differently. Membership in AoIR, and possibly by extension to the email list, is recognized more broadly under what the Court calls the "right of expressive association", an interpretation of the first amendment which pretty much lets groups themselves determine who can and cannot meet with them (and what they can say). The Boy Scouts are allowed to discriminate against gay boys and men under this right because that goes against the organization's stated goals, although the Court held that the Jaycees had to admit women under this right because admitting women doesn't keep men from meeting. Under this interpretation of the first amendment, in both of these cases (and in AoIR) an association is fully within its rights of expressive association to exclude members or classes of members if they significantly interfere with our rights of expressive association (as I think many of us would say of Lachlan.) But, such an interpretation, as I understand the case law it would hinge on the interpretation of AoIR as public or private, and that's where it gets tricky. Were AoIR considered publicly supported in some way (servers housed at a public university? public university staff time contributing to its maintenance?) or if air-l were considered what the Court calls "a place of public accommodation" (is the Internet a public place?) then it might be trickier to exclude members in good standing just on the basis that they were jerks. Just because AoIR is not a government, though, doesn't mean that rights first amendment speech restrictions don't apply. If anybody knows how email lists have been understood within the legal definition of public accommodation, I'd love to know. Yours in legal procrastination, Gina Gina Neff Columbia University

Lebbeus Woods, experimental architect, writer, professor, and visionary, died on Tuesday morning in his Manhattan loft. He was 72.
Woods exhibited, lectured on, and published projects worldwide, but in his life he was best loved for his drawings. The architect was widely known for his distinctive drawing style, and equally admired for his his willingness to embrace heavy subjects. With his drawings, Woods explored anarchy and the politics of space; death and destruction; and crisis, war, and conflict. He was a prolific critic of architecture theory and practice, and his blog maintained a cult following.
The architect began his career in the office of Eero Saarinen and Associates in 1964, but he soon went out on his own. In 1976, Woods began his long publishing career, printing his own work and contributing to various magazines and journals, including Pamphlet Architecture (issues #6 and #15). He would go on to author several dozen books—including Anarchitecture: Architecture Is a Political Act, Lebbeus Woods: Experimental Architecture, System Wien, The Storm and the Fall, and Radical Reconstruction—and was widely profiled in mainstream press.
In the year he dedicated to it, his blog attracted a large following. "I must say that it has been a privilege to have communicated with so many bright and energetic readers," Woods wrote on Aug. 11. With that post, Woods signed off on regular blogging, saying that he would be devoting the time to a book project. Dozens of fans thanked him for connecting with them. "It has been a unique experience in my life that I will always value highly," he wrote.
Woods began exhibiting his work in 1980, and to date his drawings and projects have been shown in at least 85 individual and group shows. His works are in the permanent collections of several major institutions, including, in New York, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum; in Vienna, the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, MAK; and in Paris, the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art. He was the founder of the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture, an organization devoted the advancement of experimental architecture thought and practice.
Into his final days, Woods was busy with several projects, including his only constructed building, the Light Pavilion, an "experimental space" designed in collaboration with Christoph a. Kumpusch inside the Sliced Porosity Block by Steven Holl, FAIA, for the Raffles City complex in Chengdu, China. Woods had also been teaching an "Architectonics" course at The Cooper Union, where he has served as a professor of architecture most years since 1988. He has also taught courses at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Harvard University, and Columbia University. His work is currently being exhibited in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)'s ""field conditions"" as well as at the Museum of Modern Art's "9+1 Ways of Being Political."
A major exhibit of Woods's work will open at SFMOMA on February 16, 2013. Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher, assistant curator of architecture and design at SFMOMA, says that the museum has no plans to change the show in light of Woods's death. "We are hoping to keep going on the installation," she said, adding that it will include Woods's work from the SFMOMA collection as well as from other institutions and private collections around the world. The exhibition, for which Woods was developing the design, does not as yet have plans to travel. "Right now, there is no tour, but we are open to exploring that," Fletcher said.
While it is a grim thought, it is perhaps appropriate that Woods would pass during an event such as Hurricane Sandy's landfall, a storm that transformed familiar Eastern seaboard settings into sites of chaos and disorder. A world upended is one that Woods always strove to depict.

IOB002I message written by the IOBSNMP subagent
Technote (troubleshooting)
The IOBSNMP SNMP subagent writes one of the following two IOB002I messages to the IOBSNMP JES joblog:
IOB002I <date> <time> Could not obtain handle from agent. Retrying
IOB002I <date> <time> Could not obtain handle from agent. Exiting
This may occur upon starting IOBSNMP, or after IOBSNMP has been running successfully for some time. Additionally, this message may be accompanied by the following message:
IOB032I <date> <time> Disconnecting from SNMP Agent w/ RC -5
This message is issued for two different reasons:
- IOBSNMP cannot connect to the SNMP agent. This is often the result of a configuration problem. For example:
- Attempting to connect to the SNMP agent using the wrong port
- Attempting to connect to the SNMP agent using the wrong community name
- In a CINET environment, associating IOBSNMP with the wrong TCP/IP stack
- The permission bits on the DPI UNIX pathname used for the connection are not set to read and write. The default DPI UNIX pathname is /tmp/dpi_socket.
When things such as these are the cause, the error typically occurs when attempting to start the IOBSNMP subagent.
- IOBSNMP is disconnected from the SNMP agent. This is often the result of a timeout on the DPI connection between IOBSNMP and the SNMP agent. When this is the cause, the IOBSNMP subagent typically initializes successfully, runs for some period of time, and later is disconnected.
Resolving the problem
Since there are numerous reasons why the problems discussed above occur, the best way to troubleshoot the problem is to use the following checklist:
1. Determine if the problem is occurring at startup, or if IOBSNMP runs successfully for some time before the message is issued. If the problem occurs at startup, proceed to checklist item #2. Otherwise, skip ahead to checklist item #8.
2. Ensure that the SNMP agent is active.
3. Verify that the community name being used by IOBSNMP is consistent with the SNMP agent's community name configuration. To do this, first determine what community names and IP addresses are configured for the SNMP agent. If the agent being used is the one shipped with the z/OS Communications Server, check the agent's PW.SRC file (or the
SNMPD.CONF) for the community name information. See the SNMP chapter of the IP Configuration Reference: PW.SRC, and SNMPD.CONF for additional information. Note that if an SNMPD.CONF file exists, any PW.SRC file configuration will not be used.
Once the correct community name being used by the SNMP agent has been determined, check the IOBSNMP subagent to determine what community name it is using to connect to the SNMP agent. This will be configured in the JCL used to start IOBSNMP by the '-c' parameter:
//IOBSNMP PROC P=' -c public -p 161 -s TCPIP -d 0'
If no '-c' parameter exists, the default of 'public' is used. The community name is case sensitive, and any inconsistency between the community names used by IOBSNMP and the SNMP agent will cause an error.
If you are using the SNMP agent shipped with the z/OS Communications Server, you can verify that an incorrect community name is being used by activating an SNMP agent trace at level 72. The trace will write a message indicating that a failure occurred with return codes -14 and SNMP_RC_NOT_AUTHENTICATED. This indicates that an SNMP subagent or manager has attempted to access the SNMP agent with a bad community name or from the wrong IP address.
4. If the community name is correct, ensure that the SNMP agent is listening on the port specified by the '-p' parameter in IOBSNMP's started procedure.
//IOBSNMP PROC P=' -c public -p 161 -s TCPIP -d 0'
If no '-p' parameter is specified in IOBSNMP's started procedure, it will use 161 as the default. Verify which port the SNMP agent is listening on by issuing the netstat command:
User Id Conn Local Socket Foreign Socket State
------- ---- ------------ -------------- -----
If the port numbers do not match, alter the '-p' parameter for IOBSNMP to cause IOBSNMP to use the correct port.
5. If running in a CINET (multiple stack) environment, ensure that the stack name specified by the '-s' parameter in IOBSNMP's started procedure is the same stack with which the SNMP agent is associated.
//IOBSNMP PROC P='-c public -p 161 -s TCPIP -d 0'
6. The IOBSNMP subagent uses the DPI API to connect to the SNMP Agent by way of a UNIX connection. The default UNIX pathname used for the connection is /tmp/dpi_socket. Ensure that the permission bits for the pathname are set to read and write.
7. If the problem continues to occur despite verifying that the correct configuration is being used, use the '-d 3' option to obtain the IOBSNMP trace and contact OSA level 2 support. This option is specified in the procedure used to start IOBSNMP.
//IOBSNMP PROC P='-c public -p 161 -s TCPIP - d 3'
The output of this trace will be sent to IOBSNMP's joblog.
If you are using the SNMP agent shipped with the z/OS Communications Server, it is beneficial to activate a level 72 trace using the following MODIFY command:
where OSNMPD is the jobname for your SNMP agent. The output from this trace is written to the SYSLOG Daemon.
8. If the IOB002I message is not issued at startup, then the IOBSNMP subagent is most likely being disconnected from the SNMP agent due to a timeout condition. Ideally, it would be best to obtain an IOBSNMP level 2 trace and, if you are using the z/OS Communications Server's SNMP agent, an SNMP agent level 72 trace. Information on these two traces can be found in checklist item #7, above. The SNMP agent trace will show the following messages:
.. select() timed out
cDPIpacket: Major=2, Version=2, Release=0, Id=3541, Type=SNMP_DPI_CLOSE
cDPIclose: close reason_code=7 (timeout)
Sent Subagent packet on fd 8
# Dump of 9 byte outgoing Subagent packet, count 9703
00 07 02 02 00 0d d5 09 07
EZZ6229I Closing DPI UNIX socket connection, fd=8
However, given the unpredictable nature of this type of problem, tracing is often difficult. As such, steps #9 and #10 below provide additional suggestions which you can use in an attempt to resolve the problem without tracing.
9. First, try increasing the timeout value which the SNMP agent uses for the IOBSNMP agent. Whenever an SNMP subagent connects to an SNMP agent, it specifies timeout values the agent should use when sending queries for values supported by that subagent. By default, some of the values specified by IOBSNMP are three seconds. Depending on what values are being queried, IOBSNMP may require more than three seconds to respond, causing the SNMP agent to timeout the connection with the subagent.
The method used to increase the timeout value used by the SNMP agent will vary depending on which SNMP product you use. If you are using z/OS Communications Server's SNMP agent, use an SNMP manager to issue a SET command to increase the value of the following objects:
An example of doing this using the z/OS UNIX snmp command line interface (also shipped with the z/OS Communications Server) follows. Note that <commname> should be replaced with the appropriate community name set up for your system. In this example, the timeout values are increased to ten seconds.
osnmp -c <commname> set saTtimeout.220.127.116.11.220.127.116.11.2.0 10
osnmp -c <commname> set saTtimeout.188.8.131.52.22.214.171.124.22.214.171.124 10
osnmp -c <commname> set saTtimeout.18.104.22.168.126.96.36.199.188.8.131.52 10
osnmp -c <commname> set saTtimeout.22.214.171.124.220.127.116.11.18.104.22.168 10
osnmp -c <commname> set saTtimeout.220.127.116.11.220.127.116.11.188.8.131.52 10
You can also display the current timeout values for the different MIB subtrees by issuing the following command on the osnmp command line interface:
osn mp - v -c <com mname> walk saTtimeout
You must make this change every time the IOBSNMP subagent is restarted. This includes any time that IOBSNMP is disconnected from the agent, as the timeout value will be reset to the default when the subagent reconnects.
10. Another possibility, particularly if the IOB002I message seems to be issued during periods of increased system workload, is that the IOBSNMP subagent is not getting enough CPU time. As a result, when the SNMP agent sends a query to IOBSNMP, IOBSNMP cannot obtain enough CPU time to fulfill the query prior to exceeding the timeout value.
In order to prevent this, increase IOBSNMP's dispatching priority. This increases the likelihood that IOBSNMP will be dispatched more often, and therefore, help it obtain enough CPU time to fulfill the SNMP agent's queries. However, this still may not prevent the error on systems where heavy CPU workloads are experienced.
11. If none of these suggestions provide a resolution, attempt to gather the IOBNSMP trace (level 3) and SNMP agent trace (level 72) described in step #7, and contact OSA level 2.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) generally have a many-to-one structure so that event information flows from sensors to a unique sink. In recent WSN applications, many-to-many structures evolved due to the need for conveying collected event information to multiple sinks. Privacy preserved data collection models in the literature do not solve the problems of WSN applications in which network has multiple un-trusted sinks with different level of privacy requirements. This study proposes a data collection framework bases on
Recent technological advances produce low cost wireless sensors for observing many physical phenomena of the world like temperature, humidity
Recent WSNs have begun to collect much more information than simple WSNs observing temperature or humidity value of an environment. In an addition to spatio-temporal information of an event, especially in object monitoring applications, other attributes of monitored objects are gathered by sensors. For example, traffic monitoring applications collect velocity, direction and size information of a vehicle.
As the complexity of wireless sensor applications increase, structures of WSNs have evolved in order to meet the new application requirements. WSNs generally have many-to-one structure so that sensors collect event information from the area and send to a unique sink. Some recent sensor applications have begun to use many-to-many structure, which means that there exists multiple sinks in the deployed environment. WSN application may need to send the same event information to different sinks rather than a unique sink. For example, in a home-caring application for elderly people, information about the elderly person can be sent to a family member and a nurse at the same time.
As the capability of WSNs improves, privacy preserving is becoming one of the major problems in these networks. Huge amount of information about an individual is collected and distributed. Individuals generally need to restrict the details of personal information. Therefore, countermeasures for privacy threats have to cover both needs: enable data collection and restrict the storage of some private parts.
Network and database communities approach the privacy problem from different aspects. The network community mostly thinks that hiding sender and/or receiver in network communications is the prominent privacy problem. Privacy threat models presented by this community are based on concealing communication profiles against traffic analysis attacks. These attacks focus on external threats like global or local eavesdropping.
On the other hand, database community uses "data" per se as the subject of privacy. They bring solutions for privacy preserved storage and sharing of data. However, privacy models are not suitable for the actual needs of network applications, where data is gathered from users and relayed to data collectors. There are some models that fully trust data collection parties, which are not very realistic in most of the cases. There are some other models that consider data collector as an un-trusted entity. However, in such models, privacy preservation is provided by sending perturbed data to the data collector, which limits the types of analysis that can be performed by data collector.
Also, data collection models do not meet the requirements of having many data collectors with different privacy levels, which may be the case in a WSN. This issue has to be dealt by WSN designers.
In most of the WSNs, minimization of energy consumption is one of the primary criteria due to limited battery capacity or unavailability of battery replacements. All other security countermeasures as well as the privacy preserving solutions have to perform their works with minimum energy.
In this study, privacy preserving data collection framework is proposed for WSNs. The framework is based on a network model which has multiple un-trusted sinks. Privacy requirement level of each sink is assumed to be different from each other, which can be a realistic scenario in recent WSN applications. Our proposed framework meets all the privacy requirements while consuming low amount of energy.
This paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, motivation of the study and some background information are given. This section also includes the description of threat/network model and statement of our contributions. Section 3 discusses the details of proposed anonymization method. Section 4 shows the experimental results of simulations. Literature review of the topic is presented in Section 5 Section 6 concludes the study.
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to decide which information about themselves should not be disclosed or which information would be revealed to whom. Therefore, a privacy framework have to use methods which can be easily adapted to different requirements of applications and users.
The wide usage of WSNs in monitoring applications makes people's life easy but they may cause violation of privacy. Untrusted parties can access the collected information by eavesdropping, physically capturing the sensors, or bypassing authentication to remotely access sensors or central databases [
Restricting the details of information gathered by WSN is required for limiting the privacy risks originated from untrusted parties. On the other side, privacy requirements of individuals also force the designers of WSNs to carry out some restrictions for data shared with trusted parties. These trusted parties are actually sinks in WSNs. There are mainly two reasons for these types of requirements: First, the trusted party can be captured physically by un-trusted parties. Especially in applications where attackers have high motivation or where major vulnerabilities exist, including lack of physical security, data shared with trusted parties have to obey some privacy criteria. Enemy tracking, health monitoring, or wild-life monitoring applications are examples for these types of applications. The second reason is that individuals generally want to hide detail information of their personal lives directly from the trusted party. For example, in applications where health monitoring is performed outside the hospital, individuals do not want their exact location and time information to be sent to hospital particularly in non-urgent times. However, they may want to weaken their privacy requirements in urgent times in order to get appropriate medical helps. If there are many sinks in WSN, requirements of individuals may change for each sink as well. Revisiting health monitoring applications, information about individuals may be sent to the family members as well as to hospital. In these applications, individuals may be willing to share more detail information with their family members but not necessarily with the hospital.
Many studies about data privacy has been done in the database field under the name of "privacy preserving data publishing" [
Privacy preserving data mining is another major field in privacy studies [
Privacy preserving data publishing techniques do not change the truthfulness of data at record level. They try to collect information as much as possible. They aim to provide data for widespread categories of data analysis tasks. In situations where the details of data analysis that would be performed by data collector party is not known in advance or there is a huge need for performing various types of analysis tasks at data collector side, data publishing techniques are preferred. The proposed framework in this paper is based on privacy preserving data publishing.
Studies on privacy problem mostly concentrated on achieving collection and sharing of data under the required privacy constraints in order to make efficient knowledge-based decisions. Data collection refers to the conveying of user data from data owners to a central data collector. In some situations, data collector may share this data with other third parties. Privacy preserving data collection is modelled according to the trust level between data owner and data collector party. These models are categorized into two categories,
In trusted data collection model, [
An intrinsic assumption of this model is that data publisher does not know the details of analysis or data mining tasks which will be performed by data recipient. This may be due to situation that data publisher lacks technical expertise in the corresponding analysis methods or data publisher does not even know what type of analysis will be done on shared data in data recipient part. Privacy preserving data publishing methods are used to cover the requirements of this model.
In un-trusted data collection model as shown in
In network applications that collect data from users, determination of analysis and mining tasks in the network design stage may limit the capability of this data collection system. Also, the requirements of analysis tasks may change with time. Therefore, in most of the time, privacy preserved data publishing methods are more useful in data collection applications. On the other side, these methods require a trusted data collector party or data publisher which collects centrally all the data. However, data owners may not fully trust them. Any person with malicious intent in the data collector site may have possibility to reach all the private data. Another possibility may be that due to inefficiency of security countermeasures at the data collector site or security problems during data collection operations, attackers can obtain private data. Data owners generally may want data to be privacy preserved before reaching these parties. Also, it is possible as in WSNs so that more than one sinks having different levels of privacy requirements may exist in the network. Therefore, a new model has to be devised so that privacy preserving data publishing methods can be applied for several un-trusted data collectors having different privacy needs. Since privacy preserving data publishing methods have to work on different users records for anonymization, they have to be collected somewhere before untrusted data collectors.
A required model for privacy preserved data collection is shown in
Threat model is based on the requirement that data gathered by sinks has to have
Sensors are clustered in separate sensor groups according to sensor localizations where each group has a group head sensor. In our network model which is shown in
If we compare network model of WSN with privacy preserved data collection model given in
Threat model does not directly address confidentiality of data in transit. However, data which is sent from group head sensors to sinks have
Resistance to active attacks like malicious node attacks and false packet injection ones are out of the threat model scope.
In this paper,
Subsection 3.1 explains how collected information is represented in our proposed method. In Subsection 3.2, distance metric which is used in the clustering process is described. Subsection 3.3 briefs how a common output is formed for meeting the needs of each sink. Subsection 3.4 gives the details of bottom-up clustering process which is the core of the proposed method. Subsection 3.5 investigates the computational complexity of method. Subsection 3.6 explains the details about the usage of proposed method in a WSN topology so that energy consumption is minimized.

Main aim of
In a WSN topology where there are multiple sinks and each sink has different privacy criteria, the basic solution of anonymization is that group head sensor anonymizes the data, produces different outputs for each requirement of sink and sends each output to related sink in different paths as shown in
Assume that there are two sinks named
If there is no appropriate
Inequality 5 determines the level of energy consumption of multicasting and multipathing methods since it includes number of hops and the length of messages. It is assumed that the location of sinks are known by group head nodes and they are able to calculate the above inequalities with the routing information they have. Also they form the outputs for multicasting and multipathing, calculate the lengths of outputs, determine and use the best one in terms of energy saving.
In this part, information loss and energy saving trade-off is deeply investigated. Since the effectiveness of multicasting depends on the locations of sinks and distribution of sensor nodes, different experiments with different WSN topologies are performed.
Simulations are done by program that we developed in java. This program generates synthetic data with five attributes which are all categorical. Each categoric attribute has five distinct attribute values. I
First experiment investigates the effect of sink locations. The size of WSN field is set to 500m × 500m. Distance of each hop,
The number of hops from sensor node to group head node and from group head node to sinks are calculated and they are taken into consideration in calculation of energy consumption. Energy consumption does not only depend on the number of hops; length of the messages are also important for the final results. Message lengths are taken into account during energy calculations.
Assume that energy consumption of method named as "multipath method" is denoted as
Values of
As the sinks get closer to each other, it is observed that the number of group head nodes using multicasting increase due to finding optimum multicast points. In the case where the sinks are located in coordinates of (0,0) and (500,500), sinks have the maximum distance between each other. 716 group head nodes, out of 2500 nodes, choose multicasting as the best alternative. Information loss increases to 0.73 bits but energy gain is very limited, 3%. In this topology, the number of multicasting nodes is lower and energy consumptions of hybrid and multipathing methods do not differ. If sinks are located in coordinates (200,0) and (300,0), 2406 nodes choose multicasting. In this case, energy saving increases to 32% and information loss increases to 0.90. Actually, there is a trade-off between data utility and energy consumption. If there is a need for energy minimization and some sinks can tolerate additional data losses, using multicasting when appropriate in some network topologies may be an efficient solution.
Other than the location of sinks, another parameter that may effect the efficiency of hybrid method is the total size of WSN field.
Studies on privacy problem mostly concentrated on achieving sharing of databases under the required privacy constraints in order to make efficient knowledge-based decisions. Generic name, "Privacy Preserving Data Publishing", is given to these efforts [
All these
Anonymity is considered as hiding the identities of sender or receiver of a communication in data and communication networks for many years. DC-Net and mix-net solutions are proposed for achieving sender or receiver anonymity [
Studies about the anonymity problem in WSNs basically try to hide location or time information of the events. Gruteser
Privacy studies of WSN community generally focuse on hiding sender or receiver entities from local or global eavesdroppers. However, in data collection applications, sender or receiver entities are known by all parties. Privacy threat models of data collection applications should concentrate on privacy of collected data against data collectors rather than hiding the communicated entities. On the other side, the ones which deal with privacy of collected data propose solutions only for location and time data of events. An event may have other attributes which may violate the privacy of individuals.
In this paper, since the targeted applications are data collection ones, collected data is considered as the subject of privacy. All attributes those may help to distinguish an individual are considered during anonymization. Privacy is guaranteed against for the data collector parties which are actually sinks in WSN applications. Also, by the proposed method, it is possible to provide different privacy requirements of many sinks.
In this paper, privacy preserving data collection framework is proposed for WSNs. The network and threat model of framework states that there exists multiple sinks and each sink has different level of privacy requirements.
In order to meet the requirements of network and threat model, we propose a method called I

Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations that can occur anywhere in your body, but they are often felt in your fingers, hands, feet, arms, or legs.
There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling, including:
Numbness and tingling can be caused by other medical conditions, including:
Your health care provider should find and treat the cause of your numbness or tingling. Treating the condition may make the symptoms go away or stop them from getting worse. For example, if you have carpal tunnel syndrome or low back pain, your doctor may recommend certain exercises.
If you have diabetes, your doctor will discuss ways to control your blood sugar levels.
Low levels of vitamins will be treated with vitamin supplements.
Medicines that cause numbness or tingling may need to be switched or changed. DO NOT change or stop taking any of your medicines or take large doses of any vitamins or supplements until you have talked with your provider.
Because numbness can cause a decrease in feeling, you may be more likely to accidentally injure a numb hand or foot. Take care to protect the area from cuts, bumps, bruises, burns, or other injuries.
Go to a hospital or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if:
Call your provider if:
Your provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination, carefully checking your nervous system.
