The Duomo di Viterbo, (or Viterbo Cathedral), officially named the Cathedral of San Lorenzo is the main church of the city of Viterbo in the Province of Viterbo in the northern part of the Italian state of Lazio. The church is an imposing Romanesque structure situated high on the hill which the city climbs, but it lacks much of the spectacular decoration with which it was originally adorned, thanks to an ill-advised sixteenth century reconstruction.
The cathedral was, according to legend, built on the site of an Etruscan temple to Hercules and although this can not be verified, Etruscan and Roman foundations can be seen on several of the buildings which make up the Piazza di San Lorenzo where the duomo is situated. An early medieval parish church to Saint Lawrence had formerly occupied the area before construction began on the cathedral in the late twelfth century. Even as the duomo was constructed, the town was already spreading northwards down the hill, leaving the plaza somewhat isolated on the highest edges of town, thus restricting it's attraction to the townsfolk, a disadvantage which the local bishops for years attempted to reverse by granting the cathedral special religious privileges.
Use as a Papal residence
The cathedral was at the height of its significance during the middle and end of the thirteenth century, when it and the attached Palazzo dei Papi di Viterbo was the home of the papal throne following its flight from Rome and prior to its resettlement in Avignon. Two popes were buried in the duomo: the first was Pope Alexander IV, whose tomb was bizarrely demolished during sixteenth century renovations, and the location of his remains are now unknown; Pope John XXI is more clearly marked despite several relocations, with a handsome tombstone originally laid over him following his death in 1277 (when his study's ceiling in the papal palace attached to the cathedral suddenly collapsed into the room below due to structural weaknesses as he slept).
The duomo as built in the twelfth century is east-facing and sits high on the hill with the attached Papal palace overlooking the town spread below. Its façade oddly contrasts with surrounding buildings as it is not built from local stone, instead constructed with imported materials during Gambarra's reconstruction. It is sparsely decorated, but at its centre is a rose window, although without any from of stained-glass decoration. There are two similar but smaller windows positioned further down over two smaller entrances aside the main entrance, again undecorated. Therefore, in total there is 33 windows. The only indication of the original decoration of the cathedral can be seen on the neighboring campanile, which is clad in alternating bands of local white travertine and blue-green basalt stone in a manner similar to the entire Duomo di Orvieto.
During the middle of the sixteenth century, the cathedral came under the power of a Cardinal Gambarra, scion of a wealthy Italian family who paid for extensive reconstruction of the medieval building, including the demolition of the façade, roof and central apse (including a Papal tomb). He also knocked holes in the walls to create extra chapels and replaced much of the internal art, wood and stone decorations as well as the stained glass windows. Prominent amongst his new decorations were depictions of seafood, especially lobsters and prawns, giving the land-bound cathedral a strangely nautical look. (His name Gambarra translates as prawn from the Italian, and seafood featured heavily on his coat of arms). In 1861, a further bishop also replaced the ceiling, lowering it to disguise the intricate truss and beam work of Gambarra's creation. Much of this heavy-handed work has since been removed or replaced with what remains of original furnishings, especially following the Second World War, during which the cathedral and the city in general were quite heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids and the shelling of both sides.
The cathedral lacks many of the famous artworks which make its Italian contemporaries so famous, largely due to its relatively recent renovation. The main works which line the apse are post-renovation pieces by the local artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli during the eighteenth century as well as several more by his contemporaries. Only two notable early artworks survive, a painting of Redentore benedicte (Christ giving a blessing) from 1472 thought to be the work of Gerolamo da Cremona and a Madonna with child, which appears to be an earlier version of the famous painting in the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. It has been moved here from the Viterbese parish church it was painted in during the late twelfth century, although the artist remains unknown. The cathedral also possesses an impressive baptismal font constructed initially by Francesco da Ancona in 1470 before later additions.
Piazza di San Lorenzo
The piazza itself, although dominated by the duomo and its campanile also possesses several other important buildings, including the town's oldest hospital in a medieval building which once housed the cathedral administration offices as well as providing a fortified townhouse for one of Italy's numerous feuding medieval families. The Etruscan foundations of this building are clearly visible from street level. To the south of the square, the House of Valentino della Pagnotta, received a direct hit from an Allied bomb in World War Two but was reconstructed to original specifications. The ground floor now houses the cathedral's gift shop.
The piazza boasts several small fountains and a number of other medieval buildings, but it is dominated on its north-facing side by the Palazzo dei Papi di Viterbo, which was enlarged and reconstructed in 1266 following the Papal move to the city. The Palazzo was the original location of the initiation of the conclave tradition, taken from the Latin cum claves or with keys. The cardinals were taking so long picking a new pope following the death of Pope Clement IV in 1268 that their presence was bankrupting local businesses. This drove the infuriated local people to lock the cardinals inside the palace and to steal the roof, exposing those inside to the elements. They only returned the slates and unlocked the door once a decision had been reached.
The rest of the plaza is taken up by the ruins of the palace's loggia, half of which tumbled into the valley below around 1300 and was never repaired.

At first glance the house on Moody Street is quite unremarkable; it's very plain with a black iron fence enclosing the house... but once you enter the rather big front door you immediately feel uneasy; it could be the hand-painted Jesus on the wall as soon as you open the door with his arms outstretched as if welcoming you into the home... or it could be the stairs to your left that lead to the second floor. The stairway itself is very narrow and dark, even in the middle of the day. Safe to say it doesn't scream 'welcome home', but nonetheless my aunt bought the place in an effort to keep an eye on my old, ailing grandmother and my mentally disabled aunt—her sister.
My aunt moved into the first-floor apartment with my uncle and four cousins; my grandmother ended up upstairs as it was converted into an apartment already equipped with two bedrooms. My guess was that was the ultimate selling point, as my aunt did not want to have to do construction on a house to convert it to fit my grandmother and aunt. Time went on and my grandmother had acquired a couple of my cousins so they started to convert areas of the upstairs into two bedrooms...
The first part to get started on was the enclosed porch... it was huge, so they took a corner of it and made it into a bedroom. As they started to tear things down and build things up strange things started to happen; unexplained noises would occur on a frequent basis. We all heard and saw things; every one of my cousins that went there to spend a night would wake up in the morning to tell my grandmother and aunt what they had heard or seen.
On this particular night, I was sleeping in the living room on the couch when I awoke to this very uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I checked my cell phone and the clock said it was 2:32 AM. as I stared at the ceiling the feeling started to get worse, so bad in fact I started to hold my stomach. As I started to sit up I heard the creak of the floorboard, as if someone was walking towards me. I'm just hearing things, I thought as I started to walk to the kitchen for a drink of water. As I made my way to the kitchen I heard it again, this time coming from above me in the attic. I heard the creaking as if someone was walking back and forth very slowly as to not make noise. I hurriedly made my way back to the couch, and pulling my knees up to my chest, I sat there frozen in fear. I didn't sleep for the rest of the night.
The next morning I told my aunt and grandmother what I heard.
"You must have had a bad dream dear," she replied, "the attic is nothing more than a crawlspace, there isn't even enough room to stand up in there, let alone walk around."
All day I couldn't get that creaking sound out of my head; it had me pretty creeped out the rest of the day. As the day turned into night the same feeling of unease washed over me.
"I really want to go home," I complained to my grandmother.
"Sorry dear, your parents aren't coming tonight," she responded sadly, "they called a little while ago and said they would be by tomorrow to come get you."
I was terrified; I was going to have to spend another night in that creepy house. As bedtime approached, I started to get quite sleepy and thought, "Hey, maybe I will just knock out and sleep straight through the night."
Oh, how wrong I was...
I awoke again at 2:32 AM in a panic, but nothing seemed out of place, everything looked... well... fine.
As I surveyed the room, I could have sworn I saw something out the corner of my eye, but when I turned there was nothing there.
"Keep it together girl," I laughed to myself. But as I started to lay back down, I thought I heard someone else laugh.
It was very faint, so faint I told myself it was my imagination, but as I tried to get back to sleep I heard it again, this time it was loud enough to hear... it was a little girl's laugh.
But it was different; it was menacing... like she was enjoying seeing me scared.
I immediately shot up and looked around but I didn't see anyone... I could hear my grandmother in her bedroom snoring loudly, and my aunt in her room on the other side of the wall where I was sleeping. As I sat up, I immediately had the sense that someone was watching me, but by that time I was too scared to investigate, so I just sat there for what seemed like a long time, and all of a sudden I hear it: footsteps on the linoleum floor; little taps on the tile kind of like a little girl's dress shoes hitting the tile as she walked.
Well as you can imagine, by this time I was really terrified; I was shaking, my whole body was literally quaking like a leaf. Then—just as it had started—it stopped about five feet away from me.
Too afraid to turn my head in the direction of the noise I had just heard, I held my breath, and then I heard her laugh; she was laughing at me! As she laughed I started to cry, begging her to please leave me alone. But she just wouldn't stop laughing, her laugh sounded like fingernails being dragged across a blackboard; it was excruciating. And then just like that, it stopped. After a little while I stopped crying and looked up... what I saw will forever be embedded in my brain.
There she was in all her glory, a little girl who looked to be about five years old, with a large gash on the side of her head so bad it looked as if a part of her skull had been completely removed. I was so horrified but could not look away... she had these eyes, lifeless eyes, dead eyes. Her skin looked so pale it was almost translucent.
She just kept staring at me, ever so often she would cock her head to the side as if in contemplation; trying to figure me out. For the rest of the night she just stood there staring at me until the dawn filled the sky. As it became day she slowly started to dissipate into nothingness until she was completely gone.
As soon as my grandmother woke up, I called my parents to tell them to come get me the hell out of this awful place.
When they came about an hour later I practically ran to the car. I turned around to look at the house and there in the window stood the little girl's head cocked to one side, staring at me. I never went back to that house on Moody Street. Every time my parents went I stayed home; knowing that she was waiting for me to return... to see that face; those lifeless eyes and pale grotesque skin with the open wound on her skull...

Do you feel jaw strain after diving? Does your second stage regulator mouthpiece bother you? If so, changing your regulator mouthpiece style may make diving more comfortable. Before swapping out your mouthpiece, keep a few things in mind:
- Be sure that the new mouthpiece will fit on your regulator's second stage, as not every mouthpiece will fit every regulator.
- Many of the regulator mouthpiece styles are available in a variety of materials. The differences in material can effect your comfort.
- Once you find a regulator mouthpiece style that suites you, buy several mouthpieces and keep the spares in your save-a-dive kit.
Tech Tip: Inspect Your Regulator Mouthpiece
When is the last time you gave any thought to your regulator mouthpiece? Our service technicians tell us one of the most commonly damaged parts they discover during routine maintenance on a regulator second stage is the mouthpiece itself.
Many divers bite down much too hard on the mouthpiece, particularly if it is a poor fit. Besides the fact that biting too hard may cause the diver to climb out the water with an annoying headache, we even find bite tabs completely missing from the mouthpiece where they have been literally 'chewed off'. If that's happening to you, consider trying a different style of mouthpiece.
A more subtle damage often responsible for second stages 'breathing wet' is an almost invisible tear in the mouthpiece, just past the mounting lip on the second stage body near or under the cable tie. These often can't be seen unless you stretch the mouthpiece by hand and inspect in bright light.

A common debate is, "should women dress however they want?" and usually the answer is a large resounding yes. After all, it's a woman's body and she should do what she wants with it. It's guys who need to learn control.
But are women aware of what they're saying with their clothes?
How you dress says a lot about you as a person. For instance, how you take care of your nails changes how an employer perceives you. Short, well-maintained nails make an individual seem detailed-oriented. Longer nails with a lot of polish comes across as someone who is focused too much on themselves. Raggedy teared nails make an individual look like they just don't care.
When women dress in clothes that are more revealing, they are highlighting their bodies and sexuality and that's okay. When women dress like this, they're promoting their sexuality because it makes them feel sexy. This look sends a sexually charged message. A sexually charged dress also catches more attention and usually it's sexually stimulated attention.
It's okay for people to dress how they want. They just need to be aware that every action has a consequence and no one is above that.

Leaf Area Index Estimates for Wheat from LANDSAT and Their Implications for Evapotranspiration and Crop Modeling1
- C. L. Wiegand,
- A. J. Richardson and
- E. T. Kanemasu2
Ground measurements of leaf area index (LAI) are tedious and costly. If they could be estimated spectrally from earth observation satellite data, evapotranspiration and photosynthesis models that use LAI as inputs could be implemented for large areas. Thus, we related LAI measurements of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) made in Kansas during the 1974–1975 and 1975–1976 growing seasons to three spectral vegetation indexes in the literature: transformed vegetation index (TVI), green vegetation index (GVI), and perpendicular vegetation index (PVI). The three vegetation indexes were each significantly linearly correlated (r = 0.70** to 0.95**) with measured LAI from the time LA1 was ≃ 0.3 until plant senescence, and their seasonal time courses were similar to those of directly measured LAI. Thus the indexes capture information on crop development and growing conditiops manifested by LAI. We conclude that LAI can be calibrated in tenns of the vegetation indexes to provide crop model inputs for as many fields as are of interest, or can serve as an independent check on model calculations when not used as a direct input to physical and physiological process models affected by the amount of vegetation present.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

New Delhi: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah should press the Centre to initiate a "genuine" political process in Jammu and Kashmir or "resign" if his efforts in this regard fail, moderate Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said on Saturday.
"Abdullah has been showing concern and is giving statements about the imperatives of a political solution and the failure and loss of credibility of state institutions…. "If he is sincere in what he is saying and genuinely believed he represents people, then he has a responsibility to make Indian Government stop its obduracy and initiate a genuine political process," Hurriyat said in a statement here.
"If his attempts prove futile, Abdullah should take a firm position and resign and in doing so open a new vista for those in power to follow," the statement said. Omar is member of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly from Beerwah. The Hurriyat also condemned the killing of another youth in Baramulla district of north Kashmir yesterday It asked the ruling politicians to use their influence with the Centre and Indian civil society to persuade them to immediately put an end to the violence and "seriously work towards a political solution".
Referring to the resignation of PDP MP Tariq Karra, the Hurriyat said he has shown the way.

Light on purpose of inhibitory
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a new computational model of a neural circuit in the brain, which could shed light on the biological role of inhibitory neurons — neurons that keep other neurons from firing.
The model describes a neural circuit consisting of an array of input neurons and an equivalent number of output neurons. The circuit performs what neuroscientists call a "winner-take-all" operation, in which signals from multiple input neurons induce a signal in just one output neuron.
Using the tools of theoretical computer science, the researchers prove that, within the context of their model, a certain configuration of inhibitory neurons provides the most efficient means of enacting a winner-take-all operation. Because the model makes empirical predictions about the behavior of inhibitory neurons in the brain, it offers a good example of the way in which computational analysis could aid neuroscience.
The researchers will present their results this week at the conference on Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science. Nancy Lynch, the NEC Professor of Software Science and Engineering at MIT, is the senior author on the paper. She's joined by Merav Parter, a postdoc in her group, and Cameron Musco, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science.
For years, Lynch's group has studied communication and resource allocation in ad hoc networks — networks whose members are continually leaving and rejoining. But recently, the team has begun using the tools of network analysis to investigate biological phenomena.
"There's a close correspondence between the behavior of networks of computers or other devices like mobile phones and that of biological systems," Lynch says. "We're trying to find problems that can benefit from this distributed-computing perspective, focusing on algorithms for which we can prove mathematical properties."
Artificial neurology
In recent years, artificial neural networks — computer models roughly based on the structure of the brain — have been responsible for some of the most rapid improvement in artificial-intelligence systems, from speech transcription to face recognition software.
An artificial neural network consists of "nodes" that, like individual neurons, have limited information-processing power but are densely interconnected. Data are fed into the first layer of nodes. If the data received by a given node meet some threshold criterion — for instance, if it exceeds a particular value — the node "fires," or sends signals along all of its outgoing connections.
Each of those outgoing connections, however, has an associated "weight," which can augment or diminish a signal. Each node in the next layer of the network receives weighted signals from multiple nodes in the first layer; it adds them together, and again, if their sum exceeds some threshold, it fires. Its outgoing signals pass to the next layer, and so on.
Easy querying and filtering
The age of big data has seen a host of new techniques for analyzing large data sets. But before any of those techniques can be applied, the target data has to be aggregated, organized, and cleaned up.
That turns out to be a shockingly time-consuming task. In a 2016 survey, 80 data scientists told the company CrowdFlower that, on average, they spent 80 percent of their time collecting and organizing data and only 20 percent analyzing it.
An international team of computer scientists hopes to change that, with a new system called Data Civilizer, which automatically finds connections among many different data tables and allows users to perform database-style queries across all of them. The results of the queries can then be saved as new, orderly data sets that may draw information from dozens or even thousands of different tables.
"Modern organizations have many thousands of data sets spread across files, spreadsheets, databases, data lakes, and other software systems," says Sam Madden, an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science and faculty director of MIT's bigdata@CSAIL initiative. "Civilizer helps analysts in these organizations quickly find data sets that contain information that is relevant to them and, more importantly, combine related data sets together to create new, unified data sets that consolidate data of interest for some analysis."
The researchers presented their system last week at the Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research. The lead authors on the paper are Dong Deng and Raul Castro Fernandez, both postdocs at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory; Madden is one of the senior authors. They're joined by six other researchers from Technical University of Berlin, Nanyang Technological University, the University of Waterloo, and the Qatar Computing Research Institute. Although he's not a co-author, MIT adjunct professor of electrical engineering and computer science Michael Stonebraker, who in 2014 won the Turing Award — the highest honor in computer science — contributed to the work as well.
Pairs and permutations
Data Civilizer assumes that the data it's consolidating is arranged in tables. As Madden explains, in the database community, there's a sizable literature on automatically converting data to tabular form, so that wasn't the focus of the new research. Similarly, while the prototype of the system can extract tabular data from several different types of files, getting it to work with every conceivable spreadsheet or database program was not the researchers' immediate priority. "That part is engineering," Madden says.
The system begins by analyzing every column of every table at its disposal. First, it produces a statistical summary of the data in each column. For numerical data, that might include a distribution of the frequency with which different values occur; the range of values; and the "cardinality" of the values, or the number of different values the column contains. For textual data, a summary would include a list of the most frequently occurring words in the column and the number of different words. Data Civilizer also keeps a master index of every word occurring in every table and the tables that contain it.
The Macro Recorder in VBA Programming
The macro recorder is a good introduction into the world of VBA programming, but it's not meant to be your only teacher. It provides a simplistic approach to coding with Excel's object model, but is by far not a teacher of advanced or efficient programming methods. You can even pick up some bad habits if you rely on it as your only means of learning VBA. Like many other programmers, I did start off with the recorder but eventually moved to the next level.
Here are 10 things I had to learn to take my programming skill up a notch.
1. The Macro Recorder Is a Terrible Teacher, But You Can Learn from It.
I'm not saying to throw out the recorder and never use it again. In truth, most of the time I find it more useful then Microsoft's help files when I need to look up an object or its properties and methods. Need the code for creating a pivot table? Then go ahead and record it so you can see the objects and steps involved. But then improve the code by using the advice below.
2. Declare Your Variables!
In the early days when RAM was so expensive, every byte counted. That was a major argument for declaring variables: Undeclared variables are of type variant, with a minimum size of 16 bytes, whereas if you declare a variable as type integer, you use only 2 bytes.
Now that high RAM is so common, some have thrown out the argument and don't bother declaring variables. But then, they've forgotten the other reason for variable declaration, one which has saved me a lot of frustration: When you require variable declaration, Excel will point out unknown variables during compilation. And if you mix upper-and lowercase in your variable naming, you can spot mistakes right away, because Excel will keep the case the same for you as you are typing your code.
You have to manually turn on the variable declaration requirement: In the VBE, go to Tools, Options and check the box for Require Variable Declaration. Once that's done, any new workbooks will have Option Explicit at the top of every module. For your older workbooks, you can type in Option Explicit at the top of a module, forcing variable declaration.
3. There's No Need to Use Select or Activate.
Probably one of the worst actions the recorder teaches is that objects must be selected before they can be manipulated. If you provide Excel with the specific object you want to manipulate, such as a sheet name or cell address, then you don't need to activate the sheet or select the cell. So, while the macro recorder provides this:
Deep learning system could someday serve as a social coach
It's a fact of nature that a single conversation can be interpreted in very different ways. For people with anxiety or conditions such as Asperger's, this can make social situations extremely stressful. But what if there was a more objective way to measure and understand our interactions?
Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Institute of Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) say that they've gotten closer to a potential solution: an artificially intelligent, wearable system that can predict if a conversation is happy, sad, or neutral based on a person's speech patterns and vitals.
"Imagine if, at the end of a conversation, you could rewind it and see the moments when the people around you felt the most anxious," says graduate student Tuka Alhanai, who co-authored a related paper with PhD candidate Mohammad Ghassemi that they will present at next week's Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) conference in San Francisco. "Our work is a step in this direction, suggesting that we may not be that far away from a world where people can have an AI social coach right in their pocket."
As a participant tells a story, the system can analyze audio, text transcriptions, and physiological signals to determine the overall tone of the story with 83 percent accuracy. Using deep-learning techniques, the system can also provide a "sentiment score" for specific five-second intervals within a conversation.
"As far as we know, this is the first experiment that collects both physical data and speech data in a passive but robust way, even while subjects are having natural, unstructured interactions," says Ghassemi. "Our results show that it's possible to classify the emotional tone of conversations in real-time."
The researchers say that the system's performance would be further improved by having multiple people in a conversation use it on their smartwatches, creating more data to be analyzed by their algorithms. The team is keen to point out that they developed the system with privacy strongly in mind: The algorithm runs locally on a user's device as a way of protecting personal information. (Alhanai says that a consumer version would obviously need clear protocols for getting consent from the people involved in the conversations.)
How it works
Many emotion-detection studies show participants "happy" and "sad" videos, or ask them to artificially act out specific emotive states. But in an effort to elicit more organic emotions, the team instead asked subjects to tell a happy or sad story of their own choosing.
Subjects wore a Samsung Simband, a research device that captures high-resolution physiological waveforms to measure features such as movement, heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow, and skin temperature. The system also captured audio data and text transcripts to analyze the speaker's tone, pitch, energy, and vocabulary.
"The team's usage of consumer market devices for collecting physiological data and speech data shows how close we are to having such tools in everyday devices," says Björn Schuller, professor and chair of Complex and Intelligent Systems at the University of Passau in Germany, who was not involved in the research. "Technology could soon feel much more emotionally intelligent, or even 'emotional' itself."
Combines art and technology
Garrett Parrish grew up singing and dancing as a theater kid, influenced by his older siblings, one of whom is an actor and the other a stage manager. But by the time he reached high school, Parrish had branched out significantly, drumming in his school's jazz ensemble and helping to build a state-championship-winning robot.
MIT was the first place Parrish felt he was able to work meaningfully at the nexus of art and technology. "Being a part of the MIT culture, and having the resources that are available here, are what really what opened my mind to that intersection," the MIT senior says. "That's always been my goal from the beginning: to be as emotionally educated as I am technically educated."
Parrish, who is majoring in mechanical engineering, has collaborated on a dizzying array of projects ranging from app-building, to assistant directing, to collaborating on a robotic opera. Driving his work is an interest in shaping technology to serve others.
"The whole goal of my life is to fix all the people problems. I sincerely think that the biggest problems we have are how we deal with each other, and how we treat each other. [We need to be] promoting empathy and understanding, and technology is an enormous power to influence that in a good way," he says.
Technology for doing good
Parrish began his academic career at Harvard University and transferred to MIT after his first year. Frustrated at how little power individuals often have in society, Parrish joined DoneGood co-founders Scott Jacobsen and Cullen Schwartz, and became the startup's chief technology officer his sophomore year. "We kind of distilled our frustrations about the way things are into, 'How do you actionably use people's existing power to create real change?'" Parrish says.
The DoneGood app and Chrome extension help consumers find businesses that share their priorities and values, such as paying a living wage, or using organic ingredients. The extension monitors a user's online shopping and recommends alternatives. The mobile app offers a directory of local options and national brands that users can filter according to their values. "The two things that everyday people have at their disposal to create change is how they spend their time and how they spend their money. We direct money away from brands that aren't sustainable, therefore creating an actionable incentive for them to become more sustainable," Parrish says.
DoneGood has raised its first round of funding, and became a finalist in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition last May. The company now has five full-time employees, and Parrish continues to work as CTO part-time. "It's been a really amazing experience to be in such an important leadership role. And to take something from the ground up, and really figure out what is the best way to actually create the change you want," Parrish says. "Where technology meets cultural influence is very interesting, and it's a space that requires a lot of responsibility and perspective."
Engineer natural and human made networks
Fadel Adib SM '13, PhD '16 has been appointed an assistant professor in the Program in Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, where he leads the new Signal Kinetics research group. His group's mission is to explore and develop new technologies that can extend human and computer abilities in communication, sensing, and actuation.
Adib comes to the lab from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), where he received his PhD and master's degrees in electrical engineering and computer science, supervised by MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science Dina Katabi. Adib's doctoral thesis, "Wireless Systems that Extend Our Senses," demonstrates that wireless signals can be used as sensing tools to learn about the environment, thus enabling us to see through walls, track human gestures, and monitor human vital signs from a distance. His master's thesis, "See Through Walls with Wifi," won the best master's thesis award in computer science at MIT in 2013. He earned his bachelor's degree in computer and communications engineering from the American University of Beirut, in Lebanon, the country of his birth, where he graduated with the highest GPA in the university's digitally-recorded history.
"We can get your locations, we can get your gestures, we can get your breathing," Adib said at a Media Lab event in October 2016. "And we can even get your heart rate—all without putting any sensor on your body. This is exactly what our research is about." Signal Kinetics researchers tap into the invisible signals that surround us — from WiFi to brain waves. The aim is to uncover, analyze, and engineer these natural and human-made networks, drawing on tools from computer networks, signal processing, machine learning, and hardware design.
"We are living in a sea of radio waves," Adib told the Media Lab audience. "As our bodies move, we modulate these radio waves, similar to how you create waves when you move around in a pool of water. While we cannot see these with our naked eye, we can extract them and we can build intelligence in the environment to enable a large number of applications and extend our senses using wireless technology." The technology is applicable to a broad range of needs: from monitoring an infant's breathing or an elderly person who has fallen, to determining whether someone has sleep apnea, to detecting survivors in a burning building. The group's research also has potential applications for gaming and filmmaking.
In 2015, Forbes magazine selected Adib among the 30 Under 30 Who Are Moving the World in Enterprise Technology. In 2014, MIT Technology Review chose him as one of the world's 35 top innovators under the age of 35. His research has been identified as one of the 50 ways MIT has transformed computer science over the past 50 years.
"Fadel's work in wireless sensing is groundbreaking and opens up all sorts of new opportunities," says the Media Lab's Pattie Maes, the Alex W. Dreyfoos Professor of Media Technology and academic head of the Program in Media Arts and Sciences. "I can't wait to see what impact his presence in the lab will have on many of the research topics that we focus on, including Smart Cities, Responsive Environments, Extreme Bionics, Extended Intelligence, Tools for Health and Wellbeing, and more."

Field not displaying in email notification.Asked by benrickard on December 11, 2016 at 04:50 PM
Hi there,
I have a tick box field {1nput320} that I want to display in an email notification, however it is not appearing in the email, even though all the other fields are and the field ID seems to be corrrect. Please can you take a look at this?
JotForm Support
It looks like you are referring to the last checkbox field on your form with a name of input320. I cloned your form and checked the email settings, and it appears that the input320 field is not there. This may be why the field is not displaying in the email.
To resolve this, simply add the checkbox from the Form Fields dropdown.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Great, thanks for that. Don't know how I missed it, I think I was getting mixed up with another form. Thanks again.
Hi again,
This problem is still happening, now I'm seeing it in a different form: https://www.jotform.com//?formID=61177739890974. Please can you check what I'm doing wrong? This email definitely displays the field IDs, but the information is not coming through.
JotForm Support
I cloned your form and sent some submissions there. I also noticed that the text from the Agreement checkbox does not appear in the email.
After further tests, it looks like inserting a new row resolves this issue. Please see the steps below:
1. On the email settings, click on the Your Name row to select it
2. Then from the table options, click the "Insert Row Before" button to add a new row
3. Put the {input320} field inside the second column of that new row
Save the settings and the checkbox test should now appear.
If you like, you can also choose to create a new notification to resolve the issue.
Please do let us know if the issue still persists.

Hi All,
I have been fiddling with SpiceWorks for some time, but have now just implemented it to start looking after a network of around 2000 IP cameras, 200 servers and around 350 workstations.
It is slow going getting all the scan ranges set up as they are over various different public IP ranges and subnets... it basically all falls over 150 sites.
My problem is - I have set up the scan ranges for 4 sites now, and I am already picking up issues. The most obvious one right now is one site that has 198 IP Cameras (3 different makes). SpiceWorks detects some cameras, but does not provide their make and model information, it does however not show any error that I can see for logging in to the camera. However, there are other cameras of the same make and model that SpiceWorks tries to log in using SSH when the cameras are supposed to be HTTP based log in connections. So to clarify this more... for instance SpiceWorks will detect 50 Cisco cameras fine (logs in with HTTP credentials not showing any error trying to log in but does not show make and model), but then another 40 SpiceWorks complains: "SSH authentication failed for user SSH root" when it should be logging in with HTTP credentials.
Has anyone seen this, or have any advice to offer?
I am having various other issues as well which I would love to post, but for fear of being "boo'd off stage" I will rather scratch around a little harder before I start asking stupid questions.
I hope I have explained myself well enough here.
Thanks all in advance.

You could try having SNMP enabled..then ensure the username & password are the same on scanning account..This worked for me..but depending on your IP camera..well..still it doesn't hurt to try even if your IP camera works of HTTP..
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:51 UTC
create a separate scan range for them and use only one login (snmp, ssh, ...)
i hope this can help
make sure that there are no overlaps with other ranges

Thanks for the reply.
I spend a few days going through things and testing the suggestions and a few others before I responded.
I have killed all my scan ranges, deleted everything and started from scratch. I have created to scan ranges for the same network:
xxx.xxx.62.1-40 (all servers and desktops fit in there
xxx.xxx.62.50-254 (for cameras)
xxx.xxx.63.1-254 (for the rest of the cameras)
I am still getting discoveries for IP's that don't even have anything connected to them. For instance I have no machines on 62.13 to 62.20 but yes SpiceWorks tries to connect to them and responds with "No open ports for this device were found to be responding."
Of the cameras, there are 3 makes, they all have exactly the same user and pass and I have tested; but yet some cameras are fine, others it tries to access with SSH or just lists as "Unknown".
And then finally I still have the "Timeout waiting for WMI connection" - this so frustrating, I have read so much on the forums but nothing seems to help. I have run the WMI diagnostic, reset Administrator password to make sure it is correct, disabled firewall, removed all Anti-Virus software to make sure it is not blocking anything - rebooted, and still nothing. This problem is mostly occuring on WinXP machines, but also does occur on Win7 machines.
For clarity, every single camera on my network has the same user and pass, every workstation and server uses the same Administrator password, and every Linux server has the same root password - so everything is identical in that department.
Seems like SpiceWorks can be a bit of a nag in many respects, despite the hours and hours of reading on these issues, some just don't seem to have a real solution. Am I trying to roll this out on a network that is just too large for SpiceWorks? But yet I am having issues even with one 4 sites included on the scan ranges - although they are all different IP ranges and different subnets of course.
Help will be very much appreciated!

Samsung Bundles Year Of Boingo Wireless On Galaxy Tab 3, Note 8
Los Angeles-based Wi-Fi network operator Boingo has tied in with mobile device developer Samsung Electronics America, and will be bundling one year of free Wi-Fi access with that company's new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Note 8 products, the companies said this morning. According to the companies, consumers who buy either the Galaxy Tab 3 or Galaxy Note 8 will receive one year of free, unlimited access to Boingo's network of hotspots, across North America. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
The move is somewhat unusual in its length. Often, Boingo and others have provided bundled access on limited 30-day trials to spur subscribers. In this case, a year is a very long term period for access for Wi-Fi, and the companies said that year-long access is provided courtesy of Samsung. Boingo usually charges $9.95 a month for access to its wireless plans.

After the iPhone 4S, there must be an iPhone 5: here's what we believe it will bring
0. phoneArena posted on 05 Oct 2011, 09:43
A lot of us were expecting Apple to introduce the iPhone 5 yesterday, especially when it took it longer than usual to be ready for a public announcement. However, that wasn't the case, and instead, the company unveiled what many prefer to refer to as simply an upgrade, or a facelift of the iPhone 4, rather than a brand new model...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

i am sure atleast some of the writers are..:P

Because after an year when apple will release their new iPhone then quad core processors will get outdated . But apple will still try to keep up the pace with the then modern android phones instead of thinking of the future.
14. Meedlies (Posts: 8; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
Wow! I am really excited about what the iphone5 might.......................................................................................................Huh?....What?....Oh sorry I fell asleep there. What were we talking about again?
15. Mike V (unregistered)
Apple has always been behind in the spec department. They have NEVER been the first with anything.
Not the first in getting to 1ghz processor
Not the first in Ram memory
Not the first in memory storage
Not the first in largest display
Not the first to offer 3G
Not the first to integrate media
Not the first in dual core
Not the first with NFC
Not the first to be true HD
BUT they also never claimed to be. The IPhone 5 will not be dual core. And maybe be 4G. Maybe be a 4" display.
I use a iPhone 4 by the way.
19. harsh_732006 (Posts: 65; Member since: 15 Aug 2011)
they were the first with the retina display..:)

A term they made up that doesn't hold up to scientific scrutiny.
Marketing isn't specs.
56. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they were the first to come out with it. LG invented it and probably let Apple have first dibs for a fat premium.

but they did alll of those things very well. Thats what apple does. They take existing technology, and make it better. And tats why I have used apple products forever. Because i COULD use the first company for everything, but it wouldn't be as good. So whats the point?
18. OfcJScottG (Posts: 9; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
Yeah lets start some more rumors so everyone is let down when it doesn't come to fruition. Love the site but quit with the rumors and speculation already. If I wanted to read a bunch of crap I'd get the National Inquirer.
20. Mike V (unregistered)
First with the retina display because the display remained at 3.5". While everyone else staring with phone's like the EVO Droid etc.. Took it to 4.3". If you street h out that 3.5" current retina display and change nothing else guess what happens to the DPI on that display. Someone do the math please...
25. aar0983 (Posts: 51; Member since: 26 Sep 2011)
It won't have a quad-core or bigger display. PA seriously needs to stop with all this rumor stuff. They haven't even start an iphone 5 when 4s was just announced yesterday. c'mon man let's give it a break.

Apple was first with Retina display? Only in terms of marketing. For instance, Sony Ericsson X1 had 312 ppi on 3.0" screen, which is enormous density close to Retina but didn't brag about it...

Lol they are really looking forward to 1phone 5's. I hope Apple brings your hopes back down with an Iphone 4S2.

Are you kidding me, Apple breaks a HORRIBLE announcement yesterday, so since you can only be saddened by the horrible news of yesterday, PA decides to start the rumor mill about the iPhone 5, using all of their FAILED guesses about the 4s release yesterday?
LAZY...Good thing you all arent REAL journalists...
39. Son Do (unregistered)
So immediately after the iPhone 4S was announced, people already start to speculate the iPhone 5?

The international Masters program developed by ACEU Interacademic provides training in the theory and practice of business management with a focus on managing enterprises in a sustainable fashion. The Green MBA (Master's in Business Administration) - or sustainable business degree - teaches an approach to business that changes the focus of business from short term financial gains to a long term appreciation of economic, social, and natural capital; often called the triple bottom line. The green management philosophy taught seeks to position the enterprise for long term success by finding ways to use less energy and material, become more efficient, more resourceful, and less wasteful in doing business.
The Green MBA Program offers 5 different streams with the 3rd semester being different for each stream (all else being equal). The streams are:
1. Business Strategy Stream
2. Finance and Marketing Stream
3. Tourism and Agriculture Stream
4. Human Resources Stream
5. Tailor made General Stream
2. Finance and Marketing Stream
3. Tourism and Agriculture Stream
4. Human Resources Stream
5. Tailor made General Stream
The ACEU Green MBA Program of study is a Masters Level Program completed over 4 semesters in 2 academic years by at least 3 members of the ACEU. Students spend 1 semester at each of the participating Universities studying the relevant modules and then spend the last semester completing their Masters Research Thesis at their home universities. After successfully completing the study program they receive a diploma jointly issued by the universities that have accredited the Green MBA Program in their respective countries
The Alliance of Central-Eastern European Universities is made up of universities, service providers and other key stakeholders in the region. Members work together to enhance the quality of higher education, to facilitate high-level cooperative research, and to strengthen the region's knowledge-based economy. These goals are accomplished by sharing resources and expertise, collaborating on workshops and publications, organizing programs of mutual interest, and promoting intra-ACEU mobility of students and staff. Members of the ACEU also mutually support one another's applications and proposals to third-party institutions and often apply jointly.
All the members of the ACEU subscribe to the principles of quality education and research, virtuous contribution to society, and cultural awareness and openness. Visit the website, http://www.aceu-edu.org/ , to see what steps the alliance is taking to create a smarter, more prestigious, and conscientious region.

I stayed at the Hotel Albergo for one night on a recent business trip. It is in a fantastic location, opposite the lake in central Como, so ideal for exploring. I had a deluxe room which was a good size, had a comfortable bed and a nice modern shower and bathroom, which looked as though it had been recently refurbished. The only complaint was that the room smelt a bit of stale smoke, but that was quickly solved by opening the window and airing it out for few hours. I didn't eat here, although the small restaurant looked pretty cosy. Breakfast in the morning was simple but fine. Very friendly and helpful staff, this would be a great place to stay if you were in Como for a couple of days, although I can imagine that it might lack a little if you're looking for somewhere for a family break for a week or more

The local faith community that gathers in the name of Jesus is a place of hospitality for all God's people. Welcoming children as full participants in the life of God's people is one expression of hospitality that every particular religious community can and must do.
Anderson and Johnson, Regarding Children
We at River Road Church value each child as a unique creation and gift from GOD and an integral member of the body of Christ and our particular present-day community of faith. Children have a lot to teach us about GOD, about our world, about how to love our neighbors, and about how to be faithful followers of Jesus.
Our children's ministry offers opportunities for children and their families to become disciples of Jesus through loving GOD and loving our neighbors as ourselves. These opportunities include learning through scripture and from each other, having conversations together, listening, fellowship, worshipping, serving, just to name a few.

Thirteen American Le Mans Series Entrants Accepted For 24 Hours of Le Mans BRASELTON, GA. - Thirteen sports car racing teams from the American Le Mans Series have been invited to compete in the 72nd running of the world's most famous endurance...
Thirteen American Le Mans Series Entrants Accepted For 24 Hours of Le Mans
BRASELTON, GA. - Thirteen sports car racing teams from the American Le Mans Series have been invited to compete in the 72nd running of the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, that will be held June 12-13 at the Circuit de La Sarthe in France.
Among the invited teams are ADT Champion Racing, which scored a class win at Le Mans last year with its Audi R8 Prototype and finished third overall in the event, and Corvette Racing, which won the GTS class at Le Mans in 2001 and 2002 with its Chevrolet Corvette C5-R. Also invited was the New Century Mortgage/Racer's Group team, GT class winner at Le Mans in 2002, which will run a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
The American Le Mans Series annually builds its schedule around the 24 Hours of Le Mans, allowing race teams that want to travel to France for participation in the event the opportunity to do so. Because of the relationship that exists between the ALMS and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), organizers of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, race teams that regularly compete in ALMS events receive special consideration in the selection process for the 50 cars that compete at Le Mans.
In addition, the ACO grants up to eight automatic Le Mans entries from the American Le Mans Series, including entries for the four class-winning entrants in the annual Chevy presents Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, and for the four team championship entrants in the ALMS championship standings.
The ACO announced its list of 50 invited teams and six reserve teams today, waiting until after last week's running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring before the ACO Selection Committee made its final choices. Twenty-two of the 50 teams raced in the Sebring event, the opening race of the American Le Mans Series season, with many teams auditioning for Le Mans selection.
"We are very pleased to see that once again the road to the 24 Hours of Le Mans passes through the American Le Mans Series," said Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the ALMS. "Teams that have raced regularly in the American Le Mans Series have been the overall winner at Le Mans in four of the past five years, and have also scored numerous class wins, and those that have done well at Sebring have also done well at Le Mans. We look forward to having another strong representation at Le Mans this year."
The 13 selected teams from the American Le Mans Series were all regular competitors in the series in 2003 and most are expected to race in 2004 events as well. The selected teams include three in the LMP1 class, one in the LMP2 class, three in the GTS class and six in the GT class.
In addition to the Champion entry, selected teams in the LMP1 class include Intersport Racing with a Lola B160-Judd and Panoz Motor Sports with a Panoz GTR1-Elan. Selected for the LMP2 class was Intersport, which will run a Lola B2K/40-Judd. Champion and Intersport earned automatic entries with their wins in last year's Petit Le Mans.
The two cars of Corvette Racing and a Ferrari 550 Maranello from Care Racing represent the American Le Mans Series-affiliated entries for the GTS class. One of the Corvette entries was automatically earned with the team's GTS class title in last year's ALMS championship, while the Care Racing entry was earned by the team's class win in the 2003 Petit Le Mans.
In addition to the Racer's Group, selected teams for the GT class include Risi Competizione with a Ferrari 360 Modena and Porsche 911 GT3 entries for PK Sport, Seikel Motorsport, Orbit Racing (which will run a combined effort with BAM!) and Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Racing. The Petersen team combined efforts with Alex Job Racing to win the GT class in last year's event at Le Mans.
All teams that are racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans must participate in the annual Le Mans Pre-Practice, which will be held April 25.
The next race for the American Le Mans Series will be at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, June 25-27.

good looking tight fit jeans or tight skirt?
and why
Most Helpful Guy
The age old dilemma: what do girls look best in? They can look great in both of course.
Let's put it this way: While standing or walking, you can't beat the short tight skirt for attention getting.
For sitting or bending over, then the jeans are better; you don't have to worry about them ridin gup or guys looking at your underwear. And jeans show off a fit, muscular body better than the dress does. Almost anygirl looks good in the dress, but you have to WORK to look good in tight jeans.

First and foremost - this hotel's advertising does not do it justice! The grounds have 3 large pools/hot springs (2 hot, 1 cool) with two waterfalls, in addition to a number of smaller hot spring pools, some under waterfalls, some among plants. There is a swim-up pool bar in the main hot spring pool where you can also order food in addition to the main restaurants. Every room has a balcony view of the volcano and given the shape of the hotel in a V shape, they all have decent views.
We debated staying here versus The Springs Resort and are very happy we stayed here after visiting The Springs Resort on a two-day $40 visitor pass while staying at Hotel Royal Corin. The pass allows you to use their springs, enjoy their on-site activities, and eat at their restaurants if you choose (we don't recommend eating there over Royal Corin). We preferred the views, location, food, decor, and even mostly the hot springs at Hotel Royal Corin.
Located at the base of the Arenal Volcano, the hotel has gorgeous views of the summit. Note about the Volcano in general: Although sometimes the clouds do get stuck around the top of the mountain, especially given you are in a rainforest-like jungle region, the peak did appear for us a few times in the few days we were in the area. We found the views at Royal Corin to be superior to those at The Springs Resort up in the hills as it is much closer to the volcano.
The hotel is a short smooth taxi ride into town which is nice if you are looking to explore on your own. The town is relatively small, with a few road-side open air restaurants and some good places to pick up souvenirs. The Springs in comparison is up a long bumpy ride up and away from town, tours, etc.
The Hotel Royal Corin food was excellent and far superior to that at The Springs Resort which we also visited and dined and just as good as the "best" restaurant in town, so no need to leave the property for food unless you're looking to explore.
As mentioned above, the hot springs were diverse and not at all crowded. None were nestled quite as deep in the jungle like other resorts but what we found not well advertised was the amount of landscaping and jungle-ness! The one seeming downside is the resort is close to the road, but this had no negative impact on our trip or enjoyment given how well they make you feel away from it and noise was not an issue at night.
They also have a great modern bar at the top of the resort with an excellent view with snacks in the evening and drink specials that seemed under utilized. The entire resort is very new and modern and the room was clean and spacious.
We loved our massages so much as the spa (we are pretty picky) that we booked second ones only a couple days later given the prices were reasonable and would highly recommend it!
We did really enjoy using the day-pass to the Springs Resort to do river tubing as well as visiting their Perdido springs which are nestled into the jungle a bit more but can be crowded. The Springs Resort only has a single place open for lunch (strange) and it's very small but sort of in the trees which was nice while visiting. The tubing along with the waterfall rappelling tour offered from any hotel were our two favorite things to do aside from sitting in the hot springs at the Hotel Royal Corin.

Uber, the cab aggregator will launch the bike taxi in Bangalore on Thursday and the company is pricing it lower than the humble auto-rickshaw.
The cost to ride the UberMoto is Rs. 3-5 per km, besides the minimum fare and per minute fare which is common in the cab aggregator. Ola has launched the fare competitively at Rs. 2 per km as an introductory fare and can be booked through the Ola app.
The service is targeted for the last mile connectivity, this is could benefit in the severely congested city like Bangalore. Uber is calling UberMoto, which debuted in Bangkok about ten days ago. Rival Ola has launched the services today in Bangalore.
Pranay Jivrajka, the Chief Operating Officer of Ola said, "We are excited to launch the pilot of Bike Taxis in Bangalore today. This will help users get to where they want to be within minutes, especially in traffic-prone cities like ours."
The motive of the bike taxi is mainly driven by the lack of public transport in the city of Bangalore and this could help commuters reach their destination in time compared a four-wheeler or even a three-wheeler.
There is no confirmation from the transport department on the regulation of such services, however, cab aggregators did find it difficult initially when they launched the car taxi's. However, due to the unprecedented demand from the public for such services, it has been regulated and has been in great demand ever since.
Time will tell if this will work within the perspective of safety and time bound transport in the congested traffic in the city like Bengaluru.

No we mean without shoes.
Have an opinion?
Does it have a different meaning when a woman says it? O. o
I'm pretty sure it means 'without shoes'.
The socks and whatever else is up to you.
barefoot usually.
Context pls.
Well personally I would say barefooted.. But others may have a variation on this.
"Without shoes" means just that, not wearing shoes. One can still be wearing socks or tights.
In my particular case I would be barefoot.

That depends in what context you're talking about
