EN-EL14 or EN-EL14A
Feb 20, 2014
I ordered an EN-EL14A battery as a backup for my Nikon Df from Amazon. They farmed it out to some small company who sent instead an EN-EL14. Before I get my blood pressure up does anyone know if there is a difference in the batteries. The 14A is grey and the 14 is black but are they interchangeable?

Home > Animal health in the World > Rabies Portal
In addition to the OIE's own actions, an effective rabies control strategy can only be achieved through the effective coordination of partners applying the same strategies.
The OIE works closely with WHO, GARC (Global Alliance for Rabies Control) and FAO to develop international recommendations aimed at greater intersectoral collaboration and global implementation of the most appropriate strategies.
Rabies is one of the issues identified as a priority by the OIE, WHO and FAO, within the framework of the joint "One Health" approach developed through the "Tripartite Alliance".
In this context, the FAO/OIE/WHO Global Conference on Rabies Control, held in Incheon (Seoul, Republic of Korea) in 2011, on OIE's initiative, provided the opportunity to develop a joint strategy to control the disease worldwide. Priority is given to good governance regarding the distribution of public and private, local, national and international resources targeted at priority prevention actions to be taken in animals.
10-11 December 2015
Report of the Rabies global conference
Global framework for the elimination of dog-mediated human rabies
Each year, on the 28 september, the international community comes together to promote the fight against rabies. World Rabies Day is a day of action and awareness-raising. It is a chance for you to join the global movement. You can organise or participate in any event near your home.

UniEnergy Technologies Announces Commercial Availability of Uni.System™ Grid-Scale Energy Storage System
Advanced vanadium flow battery provides containerized multi-megawatt "all in one" solution
MUKILTEO, Wash., May 29, 2014 -- UniEnergy Technologies (UET), manufacturer of large-scale energy storage systems for utility, commercial and industrial, and micro-grid applications, today announced commercial availability of the Uni.System™ grid-scale energy storage system.
The Uni.System is modular, factory-integrated (including power conversion), and "plug & play," comprised of five 20' standard containers requiring only a concrete pad and interconnection that provide 500kWAC of power for 4 hours, with power up to 600kWAC and energy up to 2.2MWhAC.
"Utilizing a new generation of vanadium electrolyte initially developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Grid Storage Program, with double the energy density and much broader operating temperature range, the Uni.System is a breakthrough product," said UET President & CEO Gary Yang. "In addition to all the advantages of traditional vanadium redox flow batteries, such as superior safety, unlimited cycle life, long duration, and full use of the battery from 0 to 100% state of charge, the Uni.System is fully containerized including for the first time at grid-scale integrated electrolyte tanks, field-proven large-scale stacks, and optimized controls and power electronics. The UET solution is rugged and versatile, built for enhanced reliability and minimized maintenance, with a flexible system design enabling multiple and concurrent power and energy applications delivering maximum value to customers."
Uni.System integrates renewables, supports smart grids and micro-grids, and meets utility needs
With the ever-growing adoption of renewables such as wind and solar to meet portfolio standards and develop a clean energy future, the challenges of integrating these intermittent resources into the grid are escalating. Examples are solar in California, Hawaii, and Italy, and wind in the Pacific Northwest and Germany. The Uni.System provides the buffering capabilities – both short and long duration – to integrate renewables effectively with the grid.
Energy storage is also critical to smart grids, similar to how data centers are key to the internet. The Uni.System, with its operational flexibility, provides the full range of power and energy functionality required to support the operation of the Smart Grid. That same "all-in-one" capability of the UET system, combined with its broad temperature tolerance (-40oC to 50oC/-40F to 120F), suits it to reliably supporting micro-grids in diverse locations and settings.
In addition to the demands placed on utilities by renewables, smart grids, and micro-grids, utilities must provide resiliency, such as after the impact of Sandy on New York and the eastern U.S. And they face a complex business environment regardless of location. Distributed generation, the shift to digital loads, loss of system inertia, and optimizing return on infrastructure investments both past and present are among the challenges. The Uni.System helps utilities meet those challenges: it is safe and reliable, its performance is third-party validated, and its upfront cost is affordable and its levelized cost of energy over the 20 year system life compelling.
About UET
UET produces large-scale energy storage systems for utility, commercial and industrial, micro-grid, and other applications. The core patented technology is an advanced vanadium flow battery, with breakthrough electrolyte, containerized design, mature large-scale stacks, and state-of-the-art controls and power electronics. The Uni.System™ is safe, operationally flexible, reliable, long-life, and economically compelling. Based in the Seattle area, UET operates a 67,000 square foot engineering & manufacturing facility scaling up to produce 100 megawatts annually.

The American Dream is Alive and Well – Among Orphanage Alumni!
No. 202
Thursday, December 15, 2016
by Richard B. McKenzie
Over the last several years, national media have reported discouraging news on the survival of the American Dream. One study found that a sizable majority — just under 60 percent — of Americans have lost hope that they will achieve the American Dream. They are even more discouraged about their children's futures. A recent study suggests a cause: The percentage of Americans earning more than their parents did at the same age has plunged since the 1970s.
Many Americans believe the economic system is "rigged" against them and their children. They accept as fact that only the wealthiest of Americans have improved their financial condition over the last half-century at the expense of all others — and that upward economic mobility has been and remains hamstrung by entrenched poverty, crime and welfare dependency, and an array of trade, regulatory and tax policies designed to benefit top income earners.
In contrast, surveys and interviews I conducted from the late1990s to as recently as summer 2016 found a substantial majority of Americans who came of age in orphanages, or "children's homes," from the 1920s to the present — and faced multiple family and foster-care hardships — believe they have lived, and are living, the American Dream.
The critics of modern orphanages — in contrast to 19th-century Dickensian workhouses — range from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) to novelist J. K. Rowling, and their prescriptions include eliminating such institutions in the United States and discouraging Western support for them in developing countries. There are surely institutions that provide poor care, inadequate education and harmful environments for their charges, but most of the orphanage alumni I have surveyed avow that the list of hardships they have overcome did not include their orphanage experiences. Indeed, a substantial majority express deeply felt affection for their stays in their "homes" and claim their orphanage experiences contributed to their success.


text: I've always wanted to have a door man. A friendly soul who greets you as you come and go, a trustworthy chap who keeps an eye on things for you. Lucky me, another prayer has been answered. For the better part of the summer, the rather handsome (but very focused looking) fellow pictured above (or a close relative of his) can be found outside the door to my house. He's a little shy, so usually I'll just give him a quick wink on my way through. If I make a move towards him, or ask him how he's doing, he tucks himself into the woodpile (he calls it the guard house), just out of sight. He's probably just a little reluctant to get too close to the people he protects, after all - he has a job to do. Now, back to prayers that get answered . . . On Sunday mornings, like many other Canadians, I leave my home to go to a place called church. Of course, as I leave the house, I give a little nod to the door man. I'll have to be honest though, (regular readers will know this), one of my favourite parts of this holy morning outing is the home cooked breakfast we treat ourselves to after church. Church satisfies a hunger of the soul, while greasy sausages and over easy eggs satisfies another hunger altogether. I digress. One of the things I've been working on at church recently is to pray for selfless, and yet seemingly hopeless causes, like an end to world hunger. Similar to my approach to playing the lottery, my thinking is that if you ask for the same thing enough times with consistent determination, you might just get it, or some part of it, as opposed to not playing (or praying) at all. The problem with a goal as lofty as an end to world hunger however is that it really seems to be beyond the capability of anyone but the big guy, you know "God", or so I thought. You see, it has been revealed to me that achieving goals like finding an end to world hunger are a little bit like eating an elephant; do it one bite at a time. Honestly though, I wasn't surprised when I didn't get an email from God telling me that He was working on my problem and would get back to me with a solution shortly. I was surprised however, when I got an email from my sister Cindy asking if I could help a friend of hers who works in Haiti by writing about her on my blog. I was surprised because it occurred to me that this might just be God providing me with a very clever answer to my prayer. "Yes, I will end world hunger, but you need to work with me by helping Cindy's friend." Yes God does work in mysterious ways. So far, the effort required on my part has been pretty minimal; to double click on the link to Cindy's friend's website, do some reading, and then think of how much I could donate. Donating money to a cause like this is easy as well, (with credit cards, the internet and all), but I really think God expects more from me, and more from my fellow North Americans who take so much for granted - like clean drinking water, for instance. As far as my door man is concerned, he also helps out when he can by eating bugs. What can you do?

Mr.Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi
Patient at AktivOrtho
´There is nothing like AktivOrtho™ anywhere in Delhi. There's a world of difference between Aktivortho™ and other centres´
"In 2000, I had a paralytic stroke. As a result, the muscles of my left leg were weak. Then, I was in Taiwan where physiotherapists were trained in very basic services. They were not good at all. But then, there were no orthopaedic rehabilitation facilities in India either. For years, I had struggled with the effects of my paralysis and lost all hope that I would never be able to get back to absolute normality. I had a problem with my gait. My left leg would drag as I walked due to paralysis.
As my wife was already having rehabilitation therapy at AktivOrtho™, I too decided to join it.
What I found different at AktivOrtho™
I have never seen a rehabilitation centre for orthopaedics like AktivOrtho™. There is a world of difference. Dr.Gerd Mueller (MD) and his team follow a very systematic way for muscle strengthening. The pain I had suffered in my left leg and hip was removed completely at AktivOrtho™.
AktivOrtho™ is a world-class facility in physiotherapy; the machinery and equipment they use in rehabilitating the patients are excellent and there is nothing like this anywhere in Delhi.
I have recommended AktivOrtho™ to all my friends with any kind of orthopaedic problem and will continue to do so. I have benefitted from AktivOrtho™ and would like others to also benefit".
Comments by Physiotherapist Mr. Yassar Nazar
"Mr.Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi first came to AktivOrtho™ in April 2013. His complaints were: right hip pain, shaky left leg, left knee ache and swelling and left foot pain which he had developed having had a paralytic stroke in 2000. He liked to play golf which aggravated his symptoms due to walking and he had been unable to play tennis as well for a long time. There was also a painful interference with his other daily functional activities due to these symptoms.
A Comprehensive assessment
Mr.Bakshi's rehabilitation program began with a comprehensive assessment of his symptoms which revealed a hypo-mobility of the joints in his entire left leg. This was partly due to pronounced muscle tightness especially in comparison with his right side. Right hip symptoms were caused mainly due to the overuse and fatigue of the surrounding musculature as Mr Bakshi bore weight predominantly on his right leg. Apart from left leg weakness, it is quite possible that asymmetrical weight bearing between the sides also resulted from pain avoidance behaviour since Mr Bakshi reported increased pain on left leg weight bearing.
Focus on patient's active participation
After setting the short-term goals which mainly comprised relief from pain, his treatment commenced with the techniques aimed at improving his left foot and right hip mobility as these were his main concerns. We also fully explained to the patient the cause of his symptoms, particularly of the right hip, in order to encourage his active participation in the treatment to prevent worsening of his symptoms.
Mr Bakshi's symptoms were completely gone!
By the 3rd session, his left foot pain had reduced by 80 per cent, even when he was walking and playing golf. Since the patient's symptoms had significantly improved by the 5th session, strengthening of muscles, balance, coordination and gait training were introduced. By the 14th session, his right hip pain and stiffness was improved by 75 per cent and after two more treatment sessions, Mr.Bakshi's symptoms had completely vanished. However, at this stage, the patient's rehabilitation program was stalled as his leave was over.
Group exercise session
He returned to AktivOrtho™ sometime later to resume his rehabilitation program and chose to be a part of our 'group exercise session' with another patient under a group exercise therapist".

Geriatrics and Extended Care
Geriatrics and Extended Care Data Analysis Center
What is the GEC DAC?
The Geriatrics and Extended Care Data Analysis Center (GEC DAC) is a program office that collects and analyses population-based data about Geriatrics and Extended Care (GEC) programs and services, and how they affect the Veterans served by VA.
GEC DAC Purpose
GEC DAC evaluates VA geriatric and extended care programs and provides evidence-based information to facilitate continuous quality improvement of these programs. Because many older Veterans receive care both from VA and outside the VA, this evaluation includes VA, Medicare and Medicaid data. This information can be used to compare care received in different VA Medical Centers, examine how care has changed over the past several years, address issues such as barriers to access of care and unmet demand, and assist in the continuous improvement of extended care that our Veterans will receive.
Location and Leadership
The GEC DAC is located on the campus of the Canandaigua VA Medical Center. Since 2012 it has been lead by Orna Intrator, PhD. - Phone: 585.393.7164 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

In March and April I set up a new company in Japan and did a deep dive into the values and practices that have driven my best work. As a result I've radically narrowed my focus for the remainder of 2017. Right now I am engaged in,
Photo Product Development – a series of fine art photographic prints, graphic prints, and photo books for the online store.
Website/Blogging/Store – relaunching this site in July with 2 articles a week, an improved experience and active online store.
Recording/Mixing – finishing the album I recored in Singapore, during 2012-13, for release over the summer.
Family – at home when my daughter returns from school everyday, present and helpful to my family.
Japanese – one private lesson per week plus daily practice.
Movement – weekly Pilates classes, cycling, and walking (annual average 10,668 steps a day).
Reading – with a focus on meta-cognition, cultural anthropology and post-digital pedagogy.
As of the start of June I'm no longer involved in any side projects. I'm happy to discuss short term collaborations, especially related to photography or writing, but I can't take on any long term side projects at this time.
And yes, this is my day job.
I'm thankful to Derek Sivers for the inspiration to write this now page. If you want to know more, I've written an article about Now Pages, including the difference between a now page, an about page and a set of goals, here.
In his Tokyo studio Fernando combines his life-long passions for art and technology. On the road, he is always looking to take the next wrong turn, just to see what kind of images and stories might unfold. A photographer and writer, with a background in music, Fernando has lived in Chile, Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. Read More.

As inferior as it sounds, it's strenuous not to imagine an unknown UFO pad inside the Lamborghini plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese, used for debuts of the Aventador S. After abundance of playful, the mid-cycle regenerate for the V12 acting cattle is here, perceiving the Aventador increasing the stake on all sides. Since the gossip mill had gone inhumane following Lamborghini V12 in past, we'll begin by letting you know the 6.5-liter intuition of the supercar hasn't turned to hybrid assistance, or, Octane compelled induction.
With the assist of changeable intake and structure moment, as well as acknowledgments to a brand-new gas exhaust, the V12 leaps from 700 to 740 PS (730 hp), while limit torque remains idempotent at 690 Nm (507 lb-ft).
We can't perceive to the fresh sound of the Aventador S, but the brand-new gas exhaust, which is also 20 proportion lightweight and comes with the polygon end planning we've perceived in the spyshots, should make the speed animal's utter even big. The go-fast figures communicate about a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) moment of 2.9 seconds, while the limit rate sits at 217 mph (349 km/h).
Since the Centenario is out of come reach for many Lamborghini customers, those in the marketplace for a Raging Bull will be double-trilled to find out the Aventador S is the first production Lambo to pack a four-wheel-drive system. The dynamic steering at the front is joined by a set of mechanisms that can make rear steering improvements every 5ms by now, most of you know the realistic wheelbase story, at debased accelerates, the back wheels steer in the other way of those at the front, making the wheelbase feel short, while all four wheels follow the same path at high accelerates, reproducing a longer wheelbase, a move that brings a boost in steadiness.
In the mixture division, the superior change is the beginning of progressive plates, a move that brings the Aventador S in formation with the now-sold-out SV. In our publication, the future Aventador S Roadster will make the most out of this, as the steer of the open-top version will no longer have to be significantly immobile than that of the fixed-roof version. The rear springs are brand-new, while all-round shaft mechanics have been modified to meet the all-steer feature.
Lamborghini has moved the electronic women of the Aventador back to school for the S version. The Italian manufacturer now seems to fully follow Porsche's alphabet mart scheme for its progressive systems and we're glad to introduced the LDVA (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva), an electronic brain that integrates all the sub-systems of the car.
The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) now likely to offer more grasping in all categories of driving contexts, while the press merchandise also discussions about tail-out misbehaviors. Communicating of grasping, the Aventador S follows the supercar direction of having bespoke latex, with the Pirelli P Zero tires having been adapted for this specific version. Aventador SV-like wheel design and more motor space breeze intakes aside, the brand-new front and procreate aprons set the S apart, while the new styling of the procreate wheel curves is a gesture to the Countach.
You can't communicate supercars without mentioning downforce these days and this foreign has something unique to overstate about, front downforce leaps by 130 proportion, while the general aerodynamic ratio at high downforce was raised by 50 proportion and by a large 400 proportion when the procreate wing is in the least battleful of its three positions.
The one behind the wheel can now select between four driving methods that work with the supercar's progressive systems: Strada (60/40 rear, front torque bias), Sport (up to 90:10) and Corsa, as well as Ego (Lamborghini's route of letting you go for a single equipment).
The compartment also holds a brand-new digital instrument sheet, while Apple CarPlay is standard and a measurement system for line addicts is elective. The first Lamborghini Aventador S possessors will get their automobiles in spring next year, with the determining commencing at $421,350 or EUR 281,555.

The Worst Music Trends Of 2010
Editor's Pick: Shit. I spent my whole year either avoiding or ignoring trends. No reason to change now.
Marc Brubaker: Many a person instructed me to place Ke(Dollar Sign)ha in this spot, but she's become so ubiquitous that I can't help but laugh when I hear her now. No, fine sirs, this award is reserved for famous people doing features for Justin Bieber. Why oh why is everyone coming out of the woodwork to guest on his songs? Of course the answer is money, but this just smacks me as a perfect example of everything wrong with the way major labels operate.
John Seaborn Gray: Chillwave. Sorry, but privileged white kids with top-of-the-line synthesizers will never be interesting. If you're still into chillwave, consider abusing less prescription medication and waking the hell up.
Craig Hlavaty: Weezer. New music at least. I can still play the shit out of the first three albums though.

Jef With One F: Still going strong is the annoyingly inaccurate belief that a season is enough time to make an idol. Once again, talented, but ultimately pre-packaged masonite artists are heralded as music saviors simply because television suits tell us to. Once again, those rabid dialers who flock to fill the stadiums forget that they have already forgotten those they swore they would never forget in previous years.
Meanwhile, bands like Goldfrapp, Chromeo, The Billy Nayer Show, and a slew of our own incredible local talent just don't have the amperage to be heard over a million watts of silence and Sweettarts.
There's nothing wrong with bouncing to fame on a good lucky chance. Just don't expect me to afford you the same respect that I give to Bowie. Hell, Lindsay Lohan's rise to stardom as a musician is 20 times more compelling than anything put out by that show I will neither name nor watch. I'm not a Christian, but there's a good solid reason for not worshipping false idols.
Matthew Keever: Ke(Dollar Sign) ha. Are you serious? We don't even have to put it into words. Just watch this and try to disagree. Sure, it's danceable, but so is this, and no one goes to concerts to watch this guy.
Shea Serrano: #Hashtagrap is easily the most awful thing that's happened in 2010. People were doing it before now, but everybody was doing it in 2010.
Brittanie Shey: The Bedroom Intruder phenomenon. Sure, Antoine Dodson's original fierceness in the face of what could have been a tragedy was utterly charming, but people -- you do realize this is a story about a potential rape, right? Ha ha ha rape so soooo funny and people who live in the ghetto are especially hilarious.
All the Auto-tuning, the alternate versions, the fucking Christmas carols. I can only hope Dodson and his sister, who used to proceeds of their iPhone app to buy a house outside of the projects, are rolling naked in cash-money as we speak.
William Michael Smith: It sort of sickened my stomach to see names like Springsteen, Mellencamp, and Robert Plant in the highest echelons of the Americana Music Association's year-end charts. That's comparable to pitchers in the Hall of Fame winning a game in the minor leagues.

1.1 Origin of Software Functional Size Measurement
Measuring the functional size of software was originally proposed in 1979 by Albrecht in a communication (Albrecht and Gaffney 1983) describing the results of an effort started in the mid-1970s in one IBM business unit. The overall goal of the work described in Albrecht's original paper was to measure the productivity of software development, as viewed from an economic perspective. His method, function points analysis, was proposed as a specific measure of the "output" of the development process, allowing a comparison of projects where software was developed using different programming languages.
The overall approach described in Albrecht's paper to achieve that goal was to select a specific subset of twenty-two software projects, mostly management information system (MIS) software, completed within this one organization. The measurement of the functional size of the software delivered by these projects consisted of a weighted sum of inputs, outputs, inquiries, and master files. The weights assigned to these items "were determined by debate and trial" (Albrecht and Gaffney 1983). Some extra adjustments (±25%) were provided for "extra complicated" (Albrecht and Gaffney 1983) items. In this communication (Albrecht and Gaffney 1983), Albrecht also offered a set of forms and rules to aid in calculating "function points." Many of the rules proposed originally were based on some aspects of the physical implementation of software.
In 1986, the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG) was formed to foster and promote the evolution of the function point method. The group used Albrecht's revised version of the original method, using a fifth function type ("interface files") and a set of weight tables. Much work went into the subsequent releases of the method to include rules allowing an interpretation of functionality increasingly independent of the particular physical implementation of software.
The contribution of IFPUG to the field of functional size measurement has been the documentation of the measurement procedure, which enabled a certain level of uniformity in the application of the method. The basic concepts and implicit model of software, though, remained unchanged from what was proposed by Albrecht in 1984. However, it cannot be postulated that the sample of software used by Albrecht in 1984, which was developed between 1974 and early 1979, is representative of all software developed in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
1.2 A New Generation of Functional Size Measure
A group of experienced software measurers gathered in 1998 to form the Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC). This group aimed at designing and bringing to market a new generation of software measurement methods. With the support of industrial partners and tapping on the strengths of IFPUG, Mark II (Symons 1991), NESMA (NESMA 1997), and version 1.0 of full function point methods (Abran et al. 2000; Bosch 2003; Büren and Kroll 1999; Kecici et al. 1999; Oligny et al. 1998; Schmietendorf et al. 1999; St.-Pierre et al. 1997a), the group proposed some basic principles on which a new generation of software functional size measurement method could be based (Abran 1999; Synoms 1999; Symons and Rule 1999). In November 1999, the group published version 2.0 of COSMIC FFP, a measurement method implementing these principles. Overall, close to forty people from eight countries participated in the design of this measurement method. Key aspects of the COSMIC FFP measurement method are now highlighted.
1.2.1 Allocation of Functional User Requirements
From the perspective proposed by COSMIC, software is part of a product or service designed to satisfy functional user requirements. From this high-level perspective, functional user requirements can be allocated to hardware, to software, or to a combination of both. The functional user requirements allocated to software are not necessarily allocated to a single unit of software. Often these requirements are allocated to pieces of software operating at different levels of abstraction and cooperating to supply the required functionality to the product or service in which they are included.
In the context of the COSMIC FFP measurement method, which is aimed at measuring the functional size of software, only those functional user requirements allocated to software are considered. (The method may be applicable to size functional requirements for information processing that are allocated to hardware, but this needs further research.) For instance, as illustrated in Figure 1, the functional user requirements in this example are allocated to three distinct pieces, each exchanging data with another through a specific organization: One piece of the software lies at the application level and exchanges data with the software's users, and the second piece lies at the operating system level. In turn, this second piece of the software exchanges data with a third piece lying at the device driver level. This last piece then exchanges data directly with the hardware. The COSMIC FFP measurement method associates the functional user requirements for each piece with a specific layer. Each layer possesses an intrinsic boundary for which specific users are identified.
Figure 1. Example of functional user requirement allocation to different layers. (From Oligny, S., A. Abran, and D. St.-Pierre. 1999. Improving software functional size measurement. Proceedings of the 13th International Forum on COCOMO and Software Cost Modeling. With Permission.)
1.2.2 Representation of Functional User Requirements in Software
The functional user requirements allocated to one or more pieces of software are decomposed into and represented by functional processes. In turn, each functional process is represented by subprocesses. A subprocess can either be a data movement type or a data transform type. Version 2.0 of the COSMIC FFP measurement method recognizes only data movement type subprocesses. Further research is deemed necessary to incorporate data transform subprocess types in the measurement method. In the meantime, an approximating assumption is made that each data movement has an associated (small) amount of data transformation. This assumption, which should be valid for most MIS, real-time, and operating system software, is being tested in field trials (see Section 1.1.3), but will clearly not be valid for algorithm-intensive software as used in; e.g., scientific or engineering domains. The approach is illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2. COSMIC representation of functional user requirements within a piece of software. (From Symons, C. R. 1999. COSMIC aims, design principles, and progress. Proceedings of the IWSM'99. With Permission.)
Given the approximating assumption, a COSMIC FFP functional process is defined as a unique and ordered set of data movements that are triggered by an event outside the software being measured, and which, when complete, leave the software in a coherent state with respect to the external event.
1.2.3 COSMIC FFP Software Model
The COSMIC FFP measurement method defines an explicit model of software functionality, derived from the functional user requirements. Based on this explicit model of functionality, relevant functional attributes of software are identified. Their extent and limits are defined, and their generic interactions are described. Taken as a whole, these functional attributes form a generic model for any type of software that is not algorithm rich. The model is illustrated in Figure 3. Four types of data movement-ENTRY, EXIT, READ, and WRITE-are defined within this model. They form the basis for defining the standard unit of functional size. The four types of data movement are presented in Table 1.
Figure 3. COSMIC FFP software model.
Table 1. Definition of COSMIC FFP Data Movements
Version 2.0 of the COSMIC FFP measurement method uses only four base functional components: entry, exit, read, and write. Data manipulation subprocesses are not used as base functional components. The method assumes, as an acceptable approximation for many types of software, that the functionality of this type of subprocess is represented among the four types of subprocesses defined earlier.
In COSMIC FFP, the standard unit of measurement, that is, 1 Cfsu, is defined by convention as equivalent to one single data movement at the subprocess level. Another alternative, initially considered by the COSMIC group, was to define the standard unit of measurement based on the number of data element types moved by a data movement type subprocess. The study of such an alternative was one of the field trial aims.
1.3 Industrial Field Trials
1.3.1 Context
Another key aspect in the development of the COSMIC FFP measurement method is the conduct of a formal field trial period designed to demonstrate that it can withstand being scaled up to industrial software from multiple and varied contexts. The field trial aims were as follows:
Starting at the end of 1999, a nine-month period was allocated for conducting formal and organized field trials of the COSMIC FFP measurement method in a significant number of organizations around the world. The data collection was completed in a formal context in a number of organizations: a European aerospace manufacturer, a UK bank with MIS applications, two European telecommunications manufacturers, and an Australian defense software contractor. Additional data were also received from Australia (a defense contractor, a real-time software house, and an aerospace manufacturer) and from Canada (a small software house, a defense contractor, and a public utility organization).
During this period, each participating organization received formal training on the application of the method. Furthermore, multiple items of software were selected from each organization's portfolio and their functional size measured. These results, along with some key data on effort and schedule involved in delivering each software, were registered and centralized for analysis.
Once analyzed, a specific report was prepared for each participating organization, offering: (1) guidelines for applying the method based on the organization's software engineering standards, and (2) some preliminary benchmarking information allowing the organization to leverage its investment in the new data and put it to use immediately. Consolidated highlights from the field trials are reported next, at a high level. Further work is required to formally document such observations.
1.3.2 Preliminary Results Highlights
The high-level preliminary results highlights are reported here using the structure of the field trials aims.
Common, repeatable interpretation. As can be observed in the number and origin of the field trial participants, COSMIC FFP was used under widely varying conditions: organizations, domains, and development methods. To ensure common implementation of the COSMIC FFP method at the trial partners' sites, training material was developed centrally at UQAM (Université du Québec ŕ Montréal) and reviewed by the COSMIC team; "train the trainers" sessions were organized in three countries to ensure common training. The trainers then delivered the same training material to all trial partners. This training included repeatability exercises during the practical sessions.
Establishing detailed procedures, where necessary, to ensure repeatable interpretation. This was performed by each organization participating in the trials, sometimes with the help of the training and support staff. Some organizations already having significant experience in measurement did not have to ask for support.
Test that the measures properly represent functionality. The following were of interest:
Correlation of the measurement results with development effort. The field trial participants, from both the formal and informal contexts, provided two sets of projects: development projects and maintenance projects. The development projects included eighteen projects from five organizations (sixteen new developments and two enhancements). They were developed on multiple platforms (seven PC, four DEC, two HP, two IBM mainframe, and one Compaq), and completed between March 1999 and May 2000 with a duration from 5 to 75 months.
The other set of maintenance requests provided twenty-one small functional enhancements completed in a single organization. For both sets of data, the correlations with effort were significant. Again, these results still have to be consolidated, formally documented, and reported.
Full transfer of technology to the trial partners. The general feedback is very positive, and the project teams were able to grasp the elements of the method easily, and were enthusiastic about the method. It was also reported that the documentation and effort needed are similar to those for applying the IFPUG method, though there is an extra step to identify layers. Also, one of the participating organizations decided early on to continue CFFP (COSMIC Full Function Points) measurements for all new projects and decided to implement this measurement technique as a standard procedure in its development process (a European participant). Other participants are either preparing or pursuing the deployment of this method within their respective organizations.
From the perspective of the participants in the field trials, the benefit of this approach lies in the availability, at the end of the field trial period, of a database of historical data useful for jump-starting the implementation of the measurement method within their own organizations while respecting the confidentiality of the sources. The benefit to the software engineering community will be the availability of the first functional size measurement method to be developed by an international group of experts and subjected to industrial field trials before finalization.
1.4 Summary and Conclusions
Albrecht proposed the function point method, more than twenty years ago, as a new way to measure the size of software. In the past fifteen years, although the method continues to give useful results for much MIS application software, many practitioners have found that Albrecht's measurement method cannot be applied satisfactorily to non-MIS software.
In 1998, building on the strengths of previous methods, the COSMIC group identified the principles on which the next generation of functional size measurement methods were to be built, offering applicability to MIS, real-time, and operating system software. A year later, the group published COSMIC FFP, a functional size measurement method implementing these principles.
Key aspects of this method were presented in this paper, and industrial field trials are under way to demonstrate that the method can withstand being scaled up to industrial software environments in multiple and varied contexts.
The COSMIC FFP method has achieved a number of firsts: it is the first functional sizing method to:
Significant progress has been made, and the acceptance from those who have tried the method is good in both MIS and real-time environments. There is strong international interest: The COSMIC FFP measurement manual is already available in three languages (English, French, and Spanish), and translation into three additional languages is progressing well (Italian, Japanese, and German). The measurement manual has been downloaded to date in over thirty countries.
And, planning further ahead, the COSMIC FFP method was proposed in early 2000 to ISO/IEC/JTC1 SC7 (Software Engineering Subcommittee) for a new work item to introduce the COSMIC FFP method through the ISO standardizationprocess. In the July 2000 vote, it received an approval rate of over 90%.
In addition, research activities have been initiated to address the following themes:
The authors of this paper acknowledge the specific contributions of Jean-Marc Desharnais, Denis St.-Pierre, Pam Morris, Roberto Meli, Grant Rule, and Peter Fagg in the elaboration of the COSMIC FFP measurement method, the support of Risto Nevalainen and Jolijn Onvlee, and the thoughtful and generous comments from all the reviewers of the COSMIC FFP measurement manual (Abran et al. 2003b).

I just spent another two hours in my bedroom cleaning closets out. Its embarrassing to even admit this, but I have bags and bags of clothing to go. But the cleaning process has provided me with a lot of time to think as I go through my clothes.
I've struggled with my weight since I was a child and its no surprise that the struggle followed me into adulthood, but I've gained some insight to the issue of late. I realize that there have been times when I've had this problem under control and those times have been the happiest ones of my life. Those were periods when my self-esteem was high and I was happy and content. And then there were times when things were not as good, and my weight showed it.
One of the interesting things is that some clothes still have tags on them. I look at them, pulled from the back recesses of my closet, and I wonder why. And then I remember bringing that piece home and finding it was a little tight, but I really liked it so I put it away for that time when I lost enough weight for it to fit just right. (Anyone who struggles with their weight will understand this mentality.) Regardless, I raced right by them in my quick weight loss and now none of them work. I even had a "goal dress" way in the back that's about 30 year old. It's huge on me now. I have sizes 14, 16, 18, 1XL, 2XL......all packed into white garbage bags.
My big epiphany was this: For the first time in my life I feel good about myself. I realize I'm in the process of getting rid of the things that are no longer good for me. I'm streamlining my closets, my relationships, my home, and my mind. I'm taking back my life and learning that my self-worth is not predicated on what someone else thinks of me, or how someone else treats me, or how anyone else lives their own lives. I'm in control here and this is a new beginning. And I'm never going back.
No need for debris in my life anymore. From now on everything makes me feel worthy and loved or it goes. I wish I'd learned that lesson many years ago. But even at this late date it feels really good to understand it.

A History of the Development and Objectives of the LDS Church News Section of the Deseret News
The Church News supplement to the Deseret News has been part of the Salt Lake City newspaper for over fifty years. It has evolved from a weekly eight-page tabloid religious section of the daily newspaper to a weekly magazine of feature articles, photographs, editorials and news of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
An historical study of the Church News has not been done previously. Hence, the intent of this study is to observe how the Church News has served its purposes and goals over its history. The study briefly outlines how the publication has developed and will serve as a springboard for further independent studies in the various areas of interest such as Church News editorials, circulation and advertising.
The following study is not intended to be an empirical, scientific analysis of the Church News. Research began with no preconceived notions of outcome or hypotheses. It is designed as a descriptive historical overview of the Church Section of the Deseret News.

I often wonder how I lasted so many years in a kitchen without good quality knives set. It wasn't uncommon to see my cheap knives break and chip on me after a few uses. I used to just use a stainless steel knife which I got from Costco. I figured all knives were the same. They just had to be sharp enough to slice through stuff. That's what knives are made for, aren't they?
"I Got So Tired Of Replacing My Kitchen Knives"
I would have had to replace my knives every few months. The worst part was how much force I had to use to slice through thick pieces of meat. It was getting unbearable. I sharpened my knives once a week to keep them usable. After awhile I just gave up.
Cooking was getting to be such a chore. I looked at some top knives on amazon and I found Wusthof to be among the best sellers. I admired the premium look of the knife. I fell in love with the red and silver emblem that the brand had. So, I decided to get one.
"Kitchen Knives Research, Reviews and Unboxing Videos got me here"
I was reading the best Wusthof kitchen knives reviews that I found online. There were tonnes of recommendations but I wasn't sure what I would get out of such expensive knives so I decided to just get a feel of a premium kitchen knife. Once I try it out, I'll decide whether it's a worthy investment.
Do You Know Which Knife SET You Want?
No two Chefs are alike and to each their own. Everything from the cooking style to the preference of knives in the kitchen is unique to the individual. This is why buying a kitchen knife set online is a little tricky.
Without actually holding the knife in your hands, it will be rather difficult to feel the balance and the heft of the knife. You won't even be able to test out your favorite grip on the knife. All you can actually use to make up your mind when it comes to knives are user comments, online reviews and video un-boxings. Videos and pictures online make it easier for you to decide if you like the design and the characteristics of the knife.
Rely On Comments By Verified Kitchen Knife Buyers
User comments on the other hand, comes from buyers who already own the knife you are eyeing. Try to focus on the comments left by verified buyers so you know it is legit. By reading these comments, you'll be pretty sure if you want that knife. It is a bit of a risk to just go on a hunch because good chef knives may be quite pricey. So, make sure you put that money to good use by purchasing a knife set that fits your niche.
If All Else Fails, Cheat Your Way To The Perfect Knife SET
I usually head to the nearest store around town that sells quality kitchen knives and try them out there. It isn't really a crime and if you have to convince yourself you aren't doing a bad thing remember your rights as a consumer. But, there really isn't any harm purchasing knives from a store if the price is right.
I think I'll flip if these knives are no better than the cheap ones I used to get. These knives should last me at least half a lifetime for the fortune I'm going to spend on them. My food should also taste much more heavenly. I really hope I'm doing the right thing.
I Hope! I really DO HOPE
Here's one of the best Wusthof knife review video I found. He's informative and since Wusthof is used by many pro
Chefs I don't think that there'll be a downside to my purchase. Let's hope Poseidon and his trident gives me good cuts for the rest of my life.
Do you have a set of premium knives in your kitchen ? I'd love to hear your experiences with your kitchen knives. Tell me about it in the comment section below.

Farewell, So Long, Goodbye
Dear Green Garage Community, Nehe-Miah Scarborough speaking. Having interned with the Green Garage for 2 years, I learned a lot, which is to be expected when you spend your time working with amazing people. I learned the importance of independence, diversity of thought, and diversity in general. I learned that making money, by yourself and for yourself, aren't characteristics to be ashamed of. I learned that while being an employee is great, it should not be the sole curriculum taught to students. Rather, they should learn that manning their own businesses and obtaining entrepreneurial skills aren't impossible goals. And if anyone ever deems them impossible, they should simply step into the Green Garage and take a peek. Notice the "manager" who may seem like an employee at face value. … [Read more...]

My brother is one of the most difficult people I know. We've fought since we were born. As adults, we have extremely different lifestyles. We could still get along, but when we're together, my brother loves to make me the butt of all his jokes. He knows where I'm sensitive and just how to push my buttons. I can only be around him so long before I want to go cry and not see him for a long time.
On the other hand, I know my brother's super insecure deep down inside, and in the past I have exploited his sensitivities with my sharp tongue (only realizing this now looking back). I've apologized, but I think he'll be bitter at me forever. When he was 7 I was 8 we lost our dad and two brothers in a tragic accident, so even though we don't get along, we do value each other and the need to be a family. Right now that means a texted "I love you" every few months, but I still don't want to have contact with him. I blocked him on FB after the last nasty letter he wrote me. Still I feel bad. I've tried so hard to have a relationship with him, and always end up feeling bulldozed.
