This invention relates to a computer-communications concentrator which permits the connection between, on one hand, a multiplicity of asynchronous computer communications terminals and on the other hand, a two-way computer communication channel for transmission and switching of packetized data.
In the description that follows, we shall refer in particular to the case in which the data packet switching and transmission network is the French public network "Transpac" which is specifically described in the French Journal "Telecommunications", No. 30, January 1979, pages 31 to 37 and in a brochure "Transpac" edited in September 1976. In other respects, it will be assumed that the interface between the computer-communications concentrator and the computer-communications channel of the network conforms with temporary Notice X25 issued by the CCITT for data transmission utilities employing data packet switching. It will also be assumed that the computer-communications terminals connected to the concentrator are asynchronous terminals whose interfaces are in agreement with the series V Notices issued by the CCITT. However, it should be understood that the computer-communications concentrator in accordance with this invention can be used with other packet switching networks and other types of terminals.
A computer-communications concentrator of this type has been previously described as a contribution in the "Euromicro" conferences held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in October, 1977 titled "Microprocessors and Packet Switching Networks", by H. Layec and J. C. L'Hostis. In this concentrator, an assembly and disassembly program is provided which allows on one hand, the construction of packets with the characters output by an asynchronous terminal and vice versa, and, on the other hand, the interpretation of signalling communications. It will be recalled that, from the signalling data, it is possible to establish or to cut communications as well as to modify certain parameters related to the terminal, the echo, the length of the line link, the parity, etc. In fact, this known concentrator had limited performance because it used an HDLC (High Level Data Link Control ISO 3309) in a programmed mode frequently requiring usage of the microprocessor. The number of asynchronous terminals served was limited because of the availability of a single microprocessor resource for the whole concentrator. The number of LSI (Large Scale Integration) circuits used in the coupler being small, the per unit cost is important.
One object of the present invention of providing a computer-communications concentrator which, with respect to the above-mentioned concentrator offers a lower per unit cost with increased flexibility and performance.
In accordance with a feature of the present invention, a computer-communications concentrator is provided for establishing connections between a multiplicity of asynchronous computer communications terminals and a two-way computer-communication channel from a data packet switching and transmission network. One processing unit operates asynchronously and is connected to the computer-communication terminals. One X25 normalizing function processing unit is connected to the two-way computer-communication channel. Between the two processing units, a communication system is comprised of one memory unit having a first part in which each packet transmitted in one or the other direction is stored. A second part is comprised of forward and return cell pairs. Each cell is provided to store a packet header during a transfer into the communication system. Each local header contains the address of the packet stored in the first part of the memory unit, its length, and some data relevant to the type of packet. The interpretation of the packet of data is used to determine the processing unit which reads it and the appropriate processing to be done for the packet at hand. Each link between a terminal and the two-way channel makes use of a couple of selected pairs of cells. Each packet is stored in a location which is available from the first part of the processing unit and which introduces this packet into the memory, by inserting a local header in the corresponding outgoing cell from the associated cell pair. Then this local header is transferred into the return cell of the other pair, from the set associated with the unit which will output the packet from the memory unit when this cell is available, as is indicated by a particular value of the packet type information.
In accordance with another feature, the memory unit has a third part in which are written the set identities of cells used, each set indicating a communication between two pairs of cells, this third part acting as a communications matrix.
In accordance with another feature, each processing unit is a microcomputer having a microprocessor capable of sending either to the computer-communication terminals or to the two-way channel, normalized messages or packets or vice versa of receiving them, each microprocessor being capable of writing or reading into the memory unit with a procedure that avoids overwrites.
The characteristics of the present invention mentioned earlier, as well as others, will become more clear upon reading the following description of an embodiment, the said description being made with respect to the attached figures, in which:
FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of a computer-communications concentrator in accordance with the invention,
FIG. 2 is a more detailed block diagram of the concentrator interface with respect to a two-way computer-communications channel from a packet switching network,
FIG. 3 is a more detailed block diagram of the concentrator interface with respect to the asynchronous computer-communications terminals,
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the communication system between the interfaces of FIGS. 2 and 3, and
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustrating the dialogue between the inputs and outputs of the communication system of FIG. 4.
According to the schematic of FIG. 1, the concentrator includes a microcomputer 1 which carries out what is referred to below as "Function X25", that is, it carries out the procedure as it is described in Notice X25 of the CCITT as mentioned above, a microcomputer 2 which carries out what we call the "Asynchronous Function", that is, it is in charge of the management of the asynchronous terminals and of the analysis of commands coming from the terminals, and a communication system 3 which allows microcomputers 1 and 2 to exchange information. Between elements 1, 2 and 3 there is provided a data bus 4.
The microcomputer 1 is connected to the two-way computer-communications channel 5 from a packet switching network, which is assumed below to be a Transpac network as defined above, by a modem 6 in accordance with Notices V28 or V35 of the CCITT. The microcomputer 2 can be connected to the asynchronous computer-communications terminals 7 by asynchronous transmission modems 8, in accordance with series V notices of the CCITT.
The microcomputer 1 of FIG. 2 is comprised of an asynchronous transmission coupler 9 operating in an integral duplex mode, a micro-programmed system 10, a frame memory 11 and a local bus 12, with a connection system between bus 12 and bus 4. The coupler 9 is comprised of apparatus for direct access to memory 14, synchronization apparatus 15, an interface 16 towards modem 6, and a priority request apparatus 17. The coupler 9 operates in accordance with the HDLC protocol or the high level chain command procedure defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO), in the documents with reference numbers as follows: IS3309, IS4335 and the approved modifications (TC97/SC6/N 1 300 and 1 445) and DP6256. The synchronization apparatus 15 is a well known HDLC box, which guarantees synchronization of channel 5 by carrying out the following operations: transmission and reception of flags, insertion and removal of zeros in the message, computation and control of the redundant and cyclic code Frame Check Sequence (FCS).
The micro-programmed system 10 is comprised of the processor program memory 18, a clock 19 and a priority request interrupt system 20. It carries out the X25 procedure. It should be understood that the program of system 10 is a familiar type of program already in use in packet switching networks; such as the Transpac network in France, the Datapac network in Canada, and the Telenet network in the United States. It therefore is unnecessary to describe such program in greater detail.
The frame memory 11 contains all the necessary parameters for the numbering and release of the frames. These parameters are updated upon transmission or reception of each frame. The memory 11 also contains a certain number of frames of fixed format: SARM, UA, DISC, etc., whose definitions are given in paragraph 2.3.4 of Notice X25 of the CCITT.
In microprocessor 1, the detection and recovering of errors is guaranteed by the micro-programmed system 10 which also guarantees the maintenance of order and density of the packets.
The micro-computer 2 of FIG. 3 is comprised of a buffer memory 21, asynchronous couplers 22, a programmed system 23 and a local bus with connection systems 25 between bus 24 and bus 4. In the example described, it was assumed that the micro-computer 2 has eight asynchronous couplers 22 each giving access to a terminal 7 by a modem 8.
The buffer memory 21 is comprised of two circular buffers by terminal 7.
The asynchronous couplers 22 have speed recognition logic 26 in common, a modem supervisory logic 27 and a priority request logic 28. Each coupler 22 is constituted by a conventional asynchronous integrated coupler 29 and electrical level conversion interface circuit 30.
The programmed system 23 is constituted by a processor program memory 31, a clock 32 and a priority interrupt request system 33. With a frequency that depends on the speeds of the terminals, the clock 32 induces an interrupt towards processor 31 which reads the character then present in the associated coupler 29 and stores it in the corresponding circular buffer. In recording, the processor 31 analyses all the characters stored in the two-circular-buffer memory 21 to determine the order of arrival from the terminal and the corresponding packets for destination by communication 3, this in the direction of receiving data from the terminal. In the direction of transmission to the terminal, the packets received from the communication system 3 are analyzed and their contents stored in the corresponding transmission circular buffer.
The connection system 12-25 between the local bus and the bus 4 is one of the many well known link modules which enable the hook-up of a number of micro-computers to a common memory through a proper management of priority requests. For the purpose of illustration, a module of this type could be the commercial modules Nos. 8218/8219 offered by the American Company Intel Corporation under the name "Bipolar Microcomputer Bus Controller MCS-80 and MCS-85 Families".
The communication system 3 consists essentially of one mass storage memory 34.
In memory 34, (FIG. 4), we can identify a first zone 35 which is the read only memory which contains a number NUMRES and a logic channel identification table, a second zone 36 which is an active memory in which is written the system connection matrix, a third zone 37 which is an active memory made up of as many pairs of cells as logic channels, each cell being foreseen to store a header, and a fourth zone 38 which is provided to store the information part of the packets.
The bus 4 establishes the connection between the microprocessors 1 and 2 and the memory 34. It is comprised of the following lines:
data lines forming the data bus,
address lines forming the address bus, which is used to address memory 34, it has 16 lines,
multiprocessors 1 and 2 control lines.
In fact since memory 34 and bus 4 may be requested simultaneously by the microprocessors 1 and 2, the access conflicts are resolved by a serial priority system, a bus clock being used to analyze all the requests at the same time.
The necessary multiprocessor control signals are:
BUS FREE for data INPUT
BUS FREE for data OUTPUT.
With the clock operating, for example at 10 Mhz and a conventional mass storage memory of the MOS type with a 400 nanosecond access time, the throughput of the communication system 3 is approximately 8 Mb/s, the access conflicts being resolved.
The previous description of the bus 4 demonstrates that it is a conventional computer bus from which are removed the peripheral READ and peripheral WRITE control lines.
Each Function X25 1 or Asynchronous Function 2 microcomputer is, during a communication, seen by the communication system 3 through the cells of zone 37 of memory 34.
A communication, also called a "virtual circuit", is an association between two logic channels, that is between two pairs of cells 37, with one logic channel for microcomputer 1 and the other logic channel for microcomputer 2. There are of course as many logic channels LC which can be associated with 2, as there are terminals served by 2.
In a virtual circuit, the exchange of information is possible between the two logic channels in the two directions of transmission with a flow in relation to the information density to be processed. The communication can be freed at any time.
The exchange of information is carried out in the form of packets that have the following make-up:
a block of information which contains a maximum of 32 octets in the chosen example.
a header which contains
the address of the information block (2 octets)
the useful length of the information block (1 octet)
the type of packet (1 octet)
that is, a header totalling four octets.
For example, the possible types of packet are:
0: packet non-existent
1: data packet
2: virtual circuit opening request packet
3: virtual circuit opening confirmation packet
4: virtual circuit closing or release request packet
5: virtual circuit closure confirmation packet.
FIG. 5 illustrates the dialogue between two logic channels LC1 and LC2, one corresponding to the set of gates 13 and the other to the set of gates 25. Each logical channel LC1 or LC2 has permanent access to two cells, one PE1 or PE2 for writing and the other PL1 or PL2 for reading. The corresponding microcomputer 1 or 2 can write information into PE1 or PE2 and read information in PL1 or PL2.
The operation is as follows. We assume that microcomputer 1, in charge of managing LC1, has transmitted a packet to memory 34. In reality, the transmission from 1 to 34 consists of inducing the storage of the information block from the packet in a memory location in zone 38 or 34 and causing the storage into cell PE1, the header corresponding to the packet in this operation. We recall that this header has the address of the memory location where the information block and its length are stored, as well as a 1 indicating that the header is relevant to an existing data packet. When microcomputer 1 (FIG. 1) decides that it is useful to supply the packet to microcomputer 2, it reads, in cell PL2 (FIG. 5), the stored header-type octet. If the value of this octet is 0, the microcomputer 1 is caused to rewrite in cell PL2, the header stored in cell PE1. In fact, the 0 type octet indicates the absence of a packet. If the value of this type octet is 1, this indicates that microcomputer 2 in charge of managing PL2 is not finished processing the earlier transmitted packet. The microcomputer 1 can thus carry out another while checking from time to time the value of the type octet in PL2.
It is important that the rewriting of the header of PE1 into PE2 should terminate with the rewriting of the octet type so that the acquisition of the header stored in PL2 by the microcomputer 2 will bear the information such as the corresponding block address and length in zone 38 (FIG. 4).
In the opposite direction, from LC2 to LC1, the exchange of packets is done in the same fashion, by inverting the roles of the microcomputers.
Given the part played by the computer-communications concentrator, which is that of giving to the terminals that are attached to it access to the Transpac network or to a network of that type, or vice versa, the concentrator receives, like any apparatus hooked to the network, a network number NUMRES. Each terminal connected to this concentrator also receives its own proper number which is made up of the NUMRES of the concentrator plus a sub-number, in general of one or two digits. In the concentrator, it can be assumed that the sub-number 00 is reserved for computer communication channel 5 towards the Transpac networks.
In zone 35 of memory 34 is written the concentrator's configuration, that is:
the concentrator's NUMRES number,
a table identifying the logic channels assigned to the terminal lines and the logic channels assigned to the computer-communications channel 5, to the Transpac network.
In zone 36, is written the connection matrix which gives at all times, the correspondence between the logic channels LC which are communicating.
When the microcomputer 2 (FIG. 2), in charge of managing one logic channel LC2 corresponding to one terminal, wants to establish a communication requested by this one terminal with a correspondent with a NUMCO number, it creates a call packet by writing in the information block part the NUMCO number of the requested correspondent, followed by the number associated with the calling logic channel LC2 and in PE1 (FIG. 5) a header of type 2. Then, microcomputer 2 compares the NUMCO and NUMRES numbers. If the two numbers do not coincide, the correspondent called is alien to the terminals served by the concentrator. Then, the microcomputer 2 searches for a free logic channel LC1 amongst those used for computer-communications channel 5 (FIG. 1). If on the other hand all the binary digits that make up NUMRES are in the NUMCO number, the remaining portion of NUMCO, that is the subnumber, determines the logic channel LC1 assigned to the correspondent request, because it is a member of the terminals served by the concentrator.
Two cases can thus occur. First, the channel LC1 thus determined is free. Then the microcomputer writes in PL1 of that channel the header of PE2 from LC2 and carries out the marking of connection (LC2-LC1 in the connection matrix of zone 36. If no free logic channel LC1 can be found, either the channel to the terminal called is already connected, or all the channels assigned to line 5 are already connected. Then, the microcomputer 2 (FIG. 1) transmits to the calling terminal the "Busy" information "connection impossible".
In the case where a connection can be established, which indicates a look-up of the connection matrix, microcomputer 1 acknowledges, by reading the header contained in PL1 (FIG. 5), and by reading the relevant information block. It acknowledges the requested communication since that block contains the NUMCO number. It can thus accept communication by sending to microcomputer 2 (FIG. 1) by PE1 (FIG. 5) and PE2 a packet confirming the opening of the virtual circuit. This packet is referred to as "COM", and is featured by an octet of value "3" or again it can refuse communication by returning, in the same manner, a packet requesting closure of the virtual circuit. This packet is referred to as "LIB" has an octet of the value "4". In this last case, the microcomputer 2 transmits to the calling terminal the busy information "connection impossible" and to microcomputer 1 the virtual circuit closure confirmation packet, called "CLIB" packet with an octet of a type value "5".
At the end of communications, the cutting of the virtual circuit established between the two logic channels LC1 and LC2 is carried out simply by the exchange of packets LIB and CLIB and is accompanied by the corresponding update in the connection matrix.
In the communication system 3 (FIG. 1) of the concentrator, the connection matrix of zone 36 (FIG. 4) is unique and only one of the two microcomputers can access it at a given time. Hence, we foresee the protection matrix protected by a mechanism of the well known "Test and Set" type.
Before giving an example of the timing diagram for a communication, we will describe the operation of the microcomputers Function X25 and Asynchronous Function.
Periodically, the microprogrammed system 10 (FIG. 2) tests the different PL cells by reading in each header its octet type value. If the value of an octet type is found to be different from zero, system 10 supplies to the direct access apparatus 14 the address and number of packets to transmit, the apparatus 14 being able to read directly in memory 34 (FIG. 5). It then gives the command "start transmission" to the HDLC synchronization apparatus 15. Transmission is thus caried out towards link 5 according to X25 procedure, which will not be described here.
When frame X25, corresponding to the relevant packet, has been completely transmitted, including the frame command sequence FCS, the HDLC synchronization apparatus 15 induces a priority request, through apparatus 17 towards the interrupt system 20 of the microprogrammed system 10 which eventually supplies a new frame to transmit.
In the receive direction, the microprogrammed system 10 supplies to the direct access apparatus 14, the write address in 34, with maximal length. When the reception of a frame is completed, including the frame control sequence FCS, the HDLC apparatus 15 addresses by priority request circuit 17 and system 20 a priority request to the microprogrammed system 10, i.e., the header octets of the received frame.
Independently of the transport of information, the microprogrammed system 10 is able to guarantee the supervision of modem 6 by acting on the interface circuit 16.
In the Asynchronous Function microcomputer, with a frequency that depends on the terminals' speed, the clock 32 (FIG. 3) induces an interrupt in the programmed system 23 which reads the character present in the asynchronous coupler 29 and stores it in the circular buffer of memory 21. In recording, the programmed system 23 analyzes all the characters admitted in memory 21 to generate the commands coming from the relevant terminal and the corresponding packets destined for communication system 3.
In the transmit direction toward the terminal, the received packets are analyzed and their contents are stored in the buffer memory 21, and in particular, in the transmission buffer of that memory.
In the above description, we have successively developed the operating principles of the communication system 3, then the principles of the Function X25 microcomputer, and finally the principles of the Asynchronous Function microcomputer 2.
For illustration purposes, we will now describe the normal flow of signals exchanged through the concentrator during a communication.
As soon as a call appears on an asynchronous line connected to a modem 8 (FIG. 3), the supervisory logic of modem 27 detects the appearance of a carrier and, through the priority request logic 28, induces the transmission of an interrupt towards the interrupt system 33 of the programmed system 23 to request a claim for the speed recognition logic 26 for the calling terminal. The speed recognition logic 26 determines the time between two descending edges on a specified character, normally the character V, and can thus recognize the speed in eight steps between 110 and 9600 binary bits per second.
As soon as the speed has been determined, the speed recognition logic 26 transmits to the programmed system 23 a signal "end of speed recognition". This signal means that the "speed recognition" logic circuit 26, only for asynchronous couplers 22, can be used for another terminal. The programmed system 23, causes the transmission to the calling terminal of a call receive acknowledgement, for example "Hello Line Active". Otherwise, the system 23 will "scan" this terminal at the clock's request and in hold.
The calling terminal transmits the NUMCO number called, which triggers, as seen above the forwarding of a packet of type 2 to the X25 microcomputer, which, as is assumed accepts communication and returns to the Asynchronous Function microcomputer a COM packet of type 3. These packet exchanges are done through the communication system 3 (FIG. 1).
The Function X25 microcomputer transmits by modem 6 and link 5 a call packet through the Transpac network to the called party.
Later, the called party replies by sending a message which is received by microprocessor 1 which retransmits it to microprocessor 2 by way of communication system 3 and microprocessor 2 sends it to the calling terminal. The packet crossing communication system 3 is thus a packet of type 1.
Communication is thus established and packets of type 1 are exchanged in both directions in full complex.
At the end of a communication, we assume that the calling terminal breaks the communication and to do this transmits a disconnect message which is translated through communication 3 by a message of type 4 (CLIB).
The Function X25 microcomputer returns to microprocessor 2 a packet of type 5 (CLIB), and in other respects, through the Transpac network transmits the disconnect message to the called party.
In practice, the disconnect message from the terminal to microprocessor 2 can be the disappearance of the carrier which ends the scanning of this terminal by program system 23 (FIG. 3).
In another variation, we substitute for the speed recognition logic 26 a set of fixed connections to give a fixed speed to each of the synchronous channels.
In FIG. 1, there is represented by 39, 40 and 41 a processor, a program memory and a peripheral which have access to bus 4 and to which can be associated in memory 34 logic channels allowing them to communicate with the terminals or with the Transpac network.

The Fraternal Alliance is a pact signed in Lýtro̱si̱ between the Roman Empire and the Reman Empire in order to align both powers and their allies against the rising threat of Communist France and its allies. The goal of the Alliance was to end any residual distrust or hatred between the two powers existent since the Reman Revolt and instead contain France, which both powers felt had become a major threat following the Communist revolution.
- Rome and Reme shall denounce any claims that they have on each other or any claimed land that is disputed.
- Rome and Reme shall protect each other from a foriegn communist attack, whether it be from a rebellion or a centralized nation, by using military action against the enemy
- Rome and Reme shall become closer trading partners, and share any breakthrough technology they have with each other in order to progress each other forward in power.
- Rome and Reme shall call upon all nessicary allies if attacking communist or being attacked by a communist nation.

I'll also let you read this, a thread with a ton of people besides myself who would not even -PLAY- FFXIV if it had PvP.
The majority of people who said PvP would be a deal-breaker also included that the PvP would be mandatory. Forget Ballista, but PvP was never even mandatory in WoW: the two separate endgames, both PvE and PvP, were mutually exclusive. I PvPed when PvE became boring in WoW, and I used to do Ballista in FFXI on occasion for fun.
Trust me, I don't want FFXIV to play like a WoW clone, and I understand that you want FFXIV to operate in its own niche. I agree with you that just because WoW has "x" and is successful, all other MMOs must have "x" to be successful is faulty logic: it isn't transitive. However, you seem to be operating with a FFXI bias that just because that game didn't have a major (or any real) PvP element, neither should this MMO.
All that said, it doesn't seem FFXIV will have any real PvP to speak of, and I guess that's okay, but they should at the very least include something akin to Ballista simply because it's something to do that kills time that I know many people found fun, and this is, again, coming from someone who didn't full-time PvP in WoW.
P.S.- Nice avatar by the way; I love Nuklear Power.

Chair's Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware! Whether you are a prospective student, a current student, a parent, an alumnus, a researcher at another institution, an employer, or are just surfing the web, you will find something interesting and exciting in our undergraduate, graduate and research programs.
As has been the case for nearly two decades, the demand from industry for graduates trained in the computer sciences is very strong. In light of that demand our department offers three undergraduate and three graduate degree programs:
- BS in computer science
- BA in computer science
- BS in information systems
- MS in computer science
- MS in bioinformatics and computational biology
- PhD in computer science
Our various curriculums provide a breadth of knowledge in both practice and theory, while allowing students to take multiple courses in areas of particular interest to them. Many of our classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels feature problem-based learning in which students work interactively in groups on the core course material and/or projects. Our faculty take a sincere interest in our students and are willing to go the extra step in helping a student with problems that may arise. And, the quality of the teaching in our department is second to none, featuring eight faculty recipients of the University Excellence in Teaching Award (only given to four faculty each year among the nearly 1000 faculty at UD).
Our research programs, which involve both graduate and undergraduate students, are strong and growing with many exciting projects in diverse areas such as bioinformatics, software engineering, graphics and vision, networking, high performance computing, and natural language processing. Our faculty and students publish a large number of conference and journal papers each year and have received a number of "best paper" nominations and awards. Support for this research is provided through a multitude of research grants to our faculty from outside agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the US Army, the US Air Force, and the National Institutes of Health.
In conclusion, let me invite you to further explore our website to learn more about the exciting opportunities to be found in both our education and research programs. And, if you should find yourself in Newark, please stop in and say hello!

Harry and the Snitch by wetcanvasWatch

Harry's on the Quidditch field in this book sculpture. Commissioned piece.
Hi! I'm presenting a paper about Quidditch at a Harry Potter conference this month. Can you use your art in my presentation? Thanks!
These are very cool creations. I have never seen anything like them. - Jacob
... You really did this to a book?!! :-D
This is amazing, all your scuptures are so well done!!
This is so cool! And you used one of the Harry Potter books to make it!
I love it. awesome!
Oooh, very nice! Which book in the series did you use for the base?
From what I can read, it's Goblet of Fire
Thank you! Honestly, I'm not sure. I was making a few different Harrys at the time and can't quite remember which I used for the different sculptures. This is a thick one though, so it must be one of the later books.
Great work. More modern than we are used to from you.
Wow! Very cleverly done!
Lovely work!

Would you recommend this product to a friend?
I love this bag! I take a lot of weekend trips and I keep this packed with my toiletries all the time so I don't have to worry about packing them all the time. it is the perfect fit. I also love that I can clip it to the outside of my travel bag if I am running out of room. This thing is SUPER durable and easy to clean. It has 2 zipper compartments inside which makes it super convenience to not have all my little stuff just loose in the bag.

In building some gyroscopic navigation equipment for a company, we used a very heavy clear liquid to suspend a spinning ball in this liquid. The liquid must have weighed over 100lbs in a 5 gallon can. What kind of liquid would it be? What is the heaviest known non-metallic liquid?

Well, I wouldn't say much simpler, especially UMTF based learn buffer/auto translation is much better then using crippled, "propietary" db files.
Besides this, gtranslator offers _really_ many small functions/features you won't even see, but are missing in KBabel currently. It's different, it's simpler by view, but much more comfortable.

In September 2013 the Victorian city of Bendigo, itself founded on ideals of exploration and discovery, hosted the inaugural Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music - BIFEM to be precise.
Festival Director David Chisholm and BIFEM's mission is not just to present new and innovative concert music but to foster a sense of exploration of uncharted soundworlds for audiences and performers alike. Drawing on the same spirit, over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing you selections from this very first edition of BIFEM.
So we begin this podcast series with one of David Chisholm's own works - Seven Little Miracles - a set of short and intense instrumental pieces for small ensemble. This performance was performed by the Festival's core ensemble, Argonaut, here directed by the exceptional young French conductor Maxime Pascal.
This recording was made by ABC Classic FM in Bendigo's Capital Theatre. The sound engineers were Chris Lawson and Alex Stinson and the recording producer was Duncan Yardley.

text: By DAVID McHUGHFRANKFURT, Germany (AP) ⿿ Daimler AG warned Wednesday that profits this year would be lower than last year's as it reported a 60 percent slide in first-quarter earnings amid slumping auto sales in Europe. The maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars said net profit fell to 564 million euros ($733 million) from 1.42 billion euros in the same quarter a year ago. Revenue was down 3 percent at 26.1 billion euros. Profits fell short of the 810 million euros expected by analysts surveyed by financial information provider FactSet. The company's share price was steady at ⿬40.90 in morning trading in Europe. Daimler laid much of the blame on the economic problems afflicting many countries in Europe. The economy of the 17 countries that use the euro currency is in a recession and struggling to reduce excessive levels of government debt. CEO Dieter Zetsche said "many markets developed worse than expected for economic reasons, especially in Western Europe. " Daimler kicked off what could be a rough earnings quarter for European carmakers, as the region's sales have slumped alarmingly in the first three months of the year. U.S.-based Ford Motor Co. reports earnings later Wednesday. European auto sales fell 9.8 percent in March, the 18 monthly drop in a row, measured on a year on year basis, according to the European car industry association ACEA. Consumers are reluctant or unable to spend, as governments cut spending to deal with their debt problems. That has dented growth rates across Europe and pushed unemployment higher. The economic fallout is worst in indebted countries in southern Europe such as Italy and Spain. But sales have also fallen in better-off Germany, home market for Daimler's flagship Mercedes-Benz luxury brand. Sales for all auto companies fell 13 percent there in March. Stuttgart-based Daimler said it expected the U.S. and Chinese markets to grow but warned that European car sales would decline further this year. The company said that "the German market cannot detach itself from this development and is expected to fall significantly short of the previous year's level." Daimler also said the market for trucks would fall 5 percent due to the slow economy.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Autofocus Lens
Canon CN-E24mm T1.5 L F Wide Angle EF Cinema Prime Lens (EF Mount)
Featuring Fluorite optics that deliver sharper images with less chromatic aberration, the new large-diameter EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM super telephoto lens also takes advantage of magnesium and titanium construction for a lighter weight and a Fluorine coating that keeps soiling, smears and fingerprints to a minimum. Because image stabilization technology in super telephoto lenses may inadvertently over-compensate and interfere with composing and framing distant or moving subjects, the EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM includes an advanced third Image Stabilization mode (Mode 3) that activates IS only when the shutter button is fully pressed. This allows users to pan fast-moving subjects and then activate IS only when it is precisely required. Because all three IS modes give the equivalent effect of up to four extra stops of performance, and because plus the Power Focus mode enables smooth focus change when shooting video, the EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM is ideal for capturing rapid-fire action. Other improvements such as better dust- and waterproofing make the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM super telephoto lens an ultra high-performance Digital Age tool combining Canon hallmarks of superb ease-of-use with excellent durability.

- Do you use paper, a spreadsheet, software?
- Are you proactive with your results?
5 Crucial Tips re Measuring Metrics:-
- Cost
How much advertising and manpower do you expend acquiring new clients? Examine your monthly advertising budget, together with payroll costs associated with new sales. Measure this against new business at the end of the month.
- Queries
Maintain a daily spreadsheet to record how many queries you receive via internet, telephone and referred business. Also ensure to include a separate stream for business converted from coupons, promotions and discounts. This metric will reveal the success rate of each of your different marketing streams.
- Conversion Rate
Simply…. how many queries become sales. Calculate this by dividing your daily queries by your sales.
- Churn Rate – % of Customers Opting out & Unsubscribing
Customer loyalty is a key factor in maintaining a healthy ROI. Unfortunately, however, losing customers is a fact of business life! This metric will instantly highlight the necessity to adjust and tweak your marketing campaigns to reach their full potential.
- Comparative Revenue

4 Min Read
Dec 13 - Fitch Ratings has affirmed Citibank Korea's (CKI) Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'A-'. The Outlook is Stable. Fitch has also affirmed CKI's Viability Rating (VR) at 'bbb+'. A full rating breakdown is provided below.
CKI's IDRs reflect Fitch's belief of an extremely high propensity of support from its parent Citibank N.A. (Citi, 'A'/Stable). Fitch expects support, if needed, to be provided on a timely basis based on the parent's strong track record of support for the Korean subsidiary. CKI is strategically important to the group's international banking operation and shares the same brand. CKI is effectively wholly owned (99.95%) by Citi and accounted for 2.9% of group's total assets at end-Q312.
Any change in Citi's ability to support CKI will directly affect CKI's IDRs. An adverse material change in Citi's willingness to support or in its relationship with CKI may also lead to a negative rating action. However, Fitch sees these as remote prospects in the foreseeable future, given CKI's important role in Citi's global franchise.
The VR reflects CKI's strong capitalisation and declining, but still solid, margins, backed by ordinary support from Citi, especially in foreign currency funding/liquidity and risk management. The VR also takes into account the bank's modest net profitability, large exposure to household loans and reliance on wholesale funding.
CKI's profitability is likely to decline due to low interest rates, increasing credit cost and regulatory pressure. Its credit cost increased to 1.0% in Q312 from 0.6% in 2011. Its net interest margin (NIM) is likely to decline due to regulatory pressure, particularly in the credit-card business. CKI's card operations contributed around 37% of NIM in Q312. To mitigate pressure on profitability, CKI has downsized headcount by 5.5% this year.
Fitch expects CKI's loan quality to deteriorate due to households' weakening debt servicing ability in Korea. Household loans (including those from self-employed individuals and credit-card receivables) accounted for around 66% of the bank's total loan book, which was higher than the industry average of around 45% at end-2011. CKI's precautionary-and-below loans ratio was 4.7% at end-Q312, compared with the sector's average of about 3.7%.
CKI's loans/customer deposits ratio remained high at 106% at end-Q312. It relies on foreign currency borrowings (KRW3.3trn at end-Q312) from Citi, which account for 50% of its wholesale funding.
CKI's Fitch core capital ratio was 15.5% at end-Q312. Its regulatory Tier 1 ratio was 14.4% under Basel II standardised approach for credit risk. Fitch expects the bank to maintain solid capitalisation to absorb unexpected credit costs and to meet Basel III capital requirements.
Downside risk for the VR could arise from a sharp deterioration in loan quality leading to significantly weakened capitalisation, although Fitch views this as a remote prospect. Upside potential for VR is limited given its moderate profitability and large exposure to unsecured consumer loans.
The rating actions are as follows:
Long-Term IDR affirmed at 'A-'; Outlook Stable
Short-Term IDR affirmed at 'F1'
Viability Rating affirmed at 'bbb+'
Support Rating affirmed at '1'

Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies - Vegan
Recipe by Wish I Could Cook
I'm not sure it was possible to have another variation on a chocolate chip cookie, but it is! This is the first CCC recipe here to use malted barley syrup. Gives the cookie a rich malty flavor.
Top Review by Lalaloula
What a great cookie recipe. These came out sweet and malty in taste with a soft interior and crackly top. I loved them and so did the guests at a friends bday party. For fun and due to the occasion I added in some sprinkles, which made them look even cuter.

Bottom Line: The Honeywell Lyric T5 is a reasonably priced smart thermostat that works with Apple HomeKit and can be controlled with Siri and Amazon Alexa voice commands, but it lacks many of the features you get with more expensive models.
Bottom Line: The third-generation Nest Learning Thermostat has all the smarts of its predecessors and adds some new features including a larger display, geofencing support, a furnace monitor, and a few more sensors.
Bottom Line: The Lux/Geo Wi-Fi Thermostat offers plenty of scheduling options and uses geofencing to automatically switch between heating modes depending on your location, but it lacks some of the useful features you'll find in competitors.
Bottom Line: Trane's XL824 Connected Control thermostat has a great display and controls Z-Wave devices, but you'll need a paid Nexia account to realize its full potential.
Bottom Line: The Honeywell Lyric is a stylish Wi-Fi thermostat that you can control from your smartphone. It uses geofencing to conserve energy while you're away, and to heat or cool your home before you return.
Bottom Line: The Ecobee3 is a stylish Wi-Fi thermostat that you can control from anywhere, and it uses remote sensors to control the temperature of multiple rooms in your house.
Bottom Line: The Honeywell Prestige IAQ Kit is more than just a thermostat, controlling your heating, air conditioning, humidity, and ventilation systems, and managing everything remotely. It doesn't come cheap, though, and it should be installed by a pro.

airfoil analysis need help!!!
Hi Foamers!
I'm trying to do some simple 2D airfoil analysis.
in doing some tests on the classic NACA 0012 airfoil. has anyone done more or less the same thing? can anyone give me some hints?
I'm using simpleFoam as a solver (k-e turbulence model with the constants values of the simpleFoam tutorial), because icoFoam and turbFoam start with fireworks after few iterations...
my simulations need more or less 1700 iterations to converge to a steady state (looking to U and p distributions), is it reasonable?
I haven't figured out how to obtain forces on the airfoil... does anyone know how to do it?
I'm afraid I'm not using the correct turbulence model or the the wrong values of the k-e constants...
every hint is very useful!
thanks a lot
getting force values is a matter of postprocessing.
You might want to checkout paraFoam for this or if you have a license you might want to use ensight (or similar).
Getting forces is then straight forward and well documented in the video-posts from ensight-page.
If you use paraFoam you might want to buy the manual, otherwise you will have fun guessing...
I have previously done a case on Naca 0012 airfoil with Fluent, but my results was looking wrong. how was your results? did you get correct results?
well, actually I cant tell yet if my results are correct... I tested a lot of different configurations, (BC and turbulence models) and managed to find a settings that actually converge to a stationary situation (looking to the p andU distribution), bun I haven't discovered yet how to calculate forces, thereore Cl, Cd, Cm... how did you manage to obtain these? a help on how to calculate forces would permit me to give results even tonight...
If you want to send me your test case, I can have a look to differences..
let me know
I'm not an expert, I'm a beginner, so use the search tool in the forum to check my suggestions. There is also a 2D airfoil case in tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam. The turbulence model depends on your Reynolds number. If you have a high Re, I think you can use , or Spalart-Allmaras model. Otherwise you must use a low Re model.
I think 1000 iterations is enough, you can check your residuals.
In order to calculate lift and drag coefficients, you can include in controlDict code lines as:

WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County's new acting Manager C. David Pedri delivered a pep talk to county employees in the courthouse rotunda Friday afternoon.
A county council majority selected Pedri, the county's chief solicitor, last week to oversee day-to-day operations during the search for the next county manager, which is expected to take months. Robert Lawton, the first non-interim manager under the home rule government implemented in January 2012, resigned effective Dec. 31.
Most of the county council members had identified a lack of communication as a major concern under Lawton's tenure.
"The reason why I wanted to have this speech here is because the days of communication with county management via email blast are over," Pedri told the crowd. "I want everybody to understand that I'm available."
Pedri invited the media to the address, and his family members, including his wife, his daughter, his mother and father, sat in the front row. He told the group he wants to maximize his time as the top manager, even it it is only a temporary post. It is expected he will apply for the permanent position.
"While the term acting is in my title, I do not see this opportunity I have as a dress rehearsal," he said. "I only have one speed. I'm going to work incredibly hard."
He shared three goals:
• Repairing water damage and other work needed in the "amazing" historic county courthouse.
The county's capital plan projects $2.2 million will be earmarked through 2019 to repair past water damage of interior courthouse plaster, canvas, tile and gilding. The plan budgeted $170,000 to prepare restoration plans this year.
• Filling numerous vacant positions funded by the council, including some that have been lingering on the county's online job posting section for months.
• Focusing on the suggestions of county employees
"I know you know that we can do better here," he said. "The script is unwritten."
He said most, if not all, employees were drawn to county government work to help people and their community, and he urged them to share their ideas to improve the county. Pedri said he is in the process of visiting each office.
"This is our chance, fellow county employees. Let's really do something," Pedri said.
A county employee for more than a decade, Pedri said he's tired of hearing "Well, that's the way we've always done it."
"I don't want to hear those words ever again," he said.
He challenged his colleagues to fight the county's persistent "self esteem problem."
County workers have shown resilience and hope during "the most tumultuous decade in Luzerne County history" that included a major corruption scandal, record Susquehanna River flooding and the conversion to home rule, he said.
"Too long have we walked with our heads bowed. Too long have we walked with our shoulders low. Today is a new day," he said. "I stand before you today as an unapologetic and proud Luzerne County employee, and the people standing in this rotunda here today have nothing to be sorry for. It's time to restore that pride in Luzerne County."
He invited the workers to grab refreshments he purchased with his personal funds.
"Let's get to work," he said.
Several workers offered positive feedback as they headed out:
"It's wonderful. Let's hope he can do this."
"That was something."
"I hope that everything he said comes to be truth."
"I just wanted to thank you for those kind words," a drug and alcohol department worker told Pedri as she rushed to introduce herself to him.
In other business, Pedri named county assistant solicitor Vito DeLuca to temporarily serve in his position as chief county solicitor.

A Family Truth (40 of 48) by Jerry Vines
This content is part of a series.A FAMILY TRUTH (40 of 48)
Jerry Vines
Hebrews 12:7-12
Let me just give you the framework which helps us
understand the subject of divine discipline. I'm using
the word, discipline, in place of the word,
chastisement. The word, chastisement, is better
translated, discipline, in that it is a truth which
has to do with God's dealings with His children.
The framework for understanding the whole subject of
divine discipline is this. The Lord deals with you and
me as His children. We were judged as sinners 2000
years ago at the cross of Calvary. That was the past
judgment. In the future we will be examined at the
Judgment Seat of Christ concerning our service. We
will be dealt with as servants in the future. But in
the present time, in our Christian walk, the Lord
deals with us as sons.
When we sin as believers there are one of two
alternatives. When we sin as believers we can confess
our sin. Hopefully we are sensitive to the Lord,
sensitive to the convicting work of the Holy Spirit,
so that when He convicts us we confess our sins and He
cleanses us and restores us to fellowship. If we
refuse to confess our sins, then the Bible teaches
that God chastises us for our sins. That's how the
whole area of divine discipline fits into the
Christian life.
The subject of divine discipline is given in these
verses more clearly than any other place in God's
Word. In verse 5 and 6 he has basically told us that
divine discipline is a forgotten subject. And it is.
There are not many believers who understand the
subject of divine discipline. Some Christians have the
idea that they can just sin and that's alright and God
will just let it go by and that God won't deal with
the matter and everything will be fine. Yet, the Bible
teaches something contrary to this. The Bible teaches
that God loves us so very much that He cannot allow
sin to go unconfronted and undealt with in our life.

2016 Olympics Pushes Major Schedules Forward
By Torleif Sorenson on 9/9/13
New Jersey In JulyThe year 2016 will be awfully busy and jam-packed for major golf championships and important events. As we hinted last month, the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club's Lower Course in New Jersey will be scheduled during the last week of July, in order to accommodate the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. The Olympic Games are scheduled for August 5-21, which would have otherwise created a "major conflict" (pun intended) with the PGA Championship. Bloomberg News quoted PGA of America CEO Pete Bevacqua thusly:
"I'm 99 percent certain that's when it will be. It's a better time to host a major championship. More people are around and in the swing of things. Less people are on their summer vacations. We think it's actually going to work out to our advantage."
Et tu, Troon?This change is also very likely to force the R&A to have their 2016 Open Championship, scheduled for Royal Troon, some time in early July. Then roughly one month after the Olympics conclude, the 2016 Ryder Cup Matches are scheduled for Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota.
Come See Me, Says KasumigasekiIn other Olympic golf news, on Saturday, September 7, the IOC awarded the 2020 Olympic Summer Games to Tokyo. Originally, speculation was that Wakasu Golf Links would host the Olympic golf competition, but the official Tokyo 2020 venue map now lists Kasumigaseki Country Club as the site, instead. Kasumigaseki's East Course is a C.H. Alison design that opened in 1929, hosted the 1957 Canada Cup, and still has 129 bunkers in play, some of them with fiendishly steep faces.

The fixed pressure device ranging from 3-20 cm offers whisper-quiet operation, and is the perfect fit for a CPAP user desiring simplicity and efficiency. The Standard boasts an automatic power on and off that begins the flow of air after the user breathes into the mask and shuts off when the mask is removed. The delay pressure ramp eases the machine to the prescribed pressure to ensure comfort during therapy hours which helps the user fall asleep.
SmartCode compliance tracking works to monitor usage that can be communicated with a clinician. This data can be transmitted to a memory card for easy tracking. DeVilbiss offers a supportive 3-year warranty on their machines to guarantee satisfaction.
The heated humidification system provides warm, moisturized air to enhance sleep therapy and comfort levels. The interface of the humidifier easily docks onto the bottom of the unit and does not require a separate hose or power cord. Only the humidifier is included in this model.
