If we apply the criterion of duty, the question of whether animals have rights can be readily answered: we have merely to ask whether, in considering an action affecting an animal, we could assent to such an action after abstracting from numerical determination. In other words, we have to ask whether we would consent to be used as mere means by another being far superior to us in strength and intelligence. This question answers itself. The fact that man has other beings in his power, and that he is in a position to use them as means to his own ends, is purely fortuitous.

Limiting an expression
Hi everyone,
my question is about limiting an expression in CFX post.
I know how to get the total force on a certain surface, just define "force_x()@surface".
But is it also possible to just evaluate the force of a certain part of a surface without splitting the surface in different parts?
My geometry for example extends from x=0 to x=1000 and i now want to calculate the force at this surface between x=0 and x=200.
Thanks for your input!
In the meantime, i found a way to calculate what i asked before.
1. Open the .res file in CFX post
2. Search for the "export" command
3. In the new window, select the surface you want to work on and "Force X"
4. Save the .csv file (contains four columns X, Y, Z and ForceX )
5. Import the .csv file into Excel or OpenOffice
6. Sort all four columns according to X
7. Sum up the ForceX column for a certain X range and voila!
This method will surely do the trick, but wouldnt it be easier to create a new clipped plane from the actual plane in CFD post?
Also - the method described by Phil will be approximate. When evaluated in CFX it uses the integration points to calculate to forces, whereas the exported data is simplified back to the nodes. So you will get a more accurate force measurement with Alex's suggestion.
Thanks for your hints!
But will the clip plane method really work? I can't access CFX at the weekends, so i'll have to wait until Monday to try it.
From the cfx_post.pdf, i get the following:
"10.11 clip command
...A clip plane will act on all objects in the Viewer, including the Wireframe, but will not affect other functions such as calculations (that is, a calculation will still use the entire location, whether visible or not)."
Another method to use could be a contour plot of X, as described here:
CFD-Post has a lot of options for generating surfaces. You can also generate them by planes, between contour lines and from isosurfaces. So if the clip plane option does not work there are plenty of others.
Today it compared the different methods with the expression "force_x()@surface", which has a value of 1,09183 N.
My "export to Excel" method resulted in 1,09183 N.
The second method (Iso Clip from the original surface) gave a result of 1,08742 N.
The third method (user surface from Contour plot level) showed a value of 0,29218 N.
The following picture shows where how much drag is produced across my surface (from ~-2,15m to 0,9m). The upper two lines (Excel and Iso Clip method) match each other, but the third (Contour) shows huge differences. The overall shape is the same although.
Use the method which calculates the force based on the iso-clip. That should be the correct one.
For future simulations, split the surface on the place you'll want to measure. That way you'll be able to measure forces directly from the solver, eliminating any possible sources of error from interpolation the mesh/results.
By the way, how are you measuring force with a contour?
Measuring a force via a contour plot works the following. But i would not recommend it as the differences are to big compared to the other methods for my geometry.
1. Create a contour plot on a surface, in my case contour of X
2. Create an user surface from this contour and select the contour level
3. Create an expression: force_x()@user surface

Powell To Resign As Head Of FCC
Saturday, January 22, 2005
Michael K. Powell yesterday said he would step down as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, ending an often-rocky tenure dominated by swift changes in the media and telecommunications landscape and fights over indecency on the public airwaves.
Once a bureaucratic backwater chiefly in charge of handing out television and radio licenses, the FCC is now a pivotal agency, its obligations and impact expanding with the technological revolution. As chairman, Powell steered the FCC on a largely deregulatory path, believing that such a philosophy would speed new gadgets and services -- such as next-generation cell phones and Internet phone service -- to the public.
The past four years has been a period of remarkable change on that digital frontier: Cable giant Comcast Corp. entered the consumer phone business while AT&T Corp. began pulling out, phone service came to the Internet, digital television and satellite radio appeared in stores, and cell phones become a ubiquitous necessity.
At the same time, the agency under Powell became a cultural force, responding to an unparalleled number of complaints about the coarsening nature of radio and television broadcasts with a fusillade of proposed fines -- more than $8.5 million during his four years as chairman.
Powell cut a polarizing figure, criticized in some quarters as a friend of big business but praised as a visionary in others.
"I have a vision that's about technology that empowers consumers over institutions," Powell said in an interview yesterday. "I felt we had largely accomplished our agenda."
The son of outgoing Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, he said he plans to leave the agency in March. Powell, 41, said he does not have another job offer and has not interviewed with or been contacted by another employer.
"It's logical to leave between administrations if you're not really interested in staying" the entire second term, he said.
Powell's exit begins a transition in agency leadership. A likely successor is Republican FCC Commissioner Kevin J. Martin, who has sometimes clashed with Powell on policy. Martin's wife, Catherine, is an adviser to Vice President Cheney, and both have friends in the administration. If Martin ascends to the chairmanship, potential candidates to fill the vacancy include former Texas Public Utility Commission chairman Rebecca Armendariz Klein; National Telecommunications and Information Administration head Michael D. Gallagher, a former Verizon Wireless lobbyist; and Earl W. Comstock, former chief counsel to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), according to industry observers and people close to the FCC, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision is not yet final. Martin declined to comment yesterday on a possible appointment.
The commission's other remaining Republican is Kathleen Q. Abernathy, a close ally of Powell's. Her term expired in June, though she received an extension. She has not sought renomination and has privately told some that she would like to leave the FCC this year. Democrat Michael J. Copps's term expires in May, though he seeks another. Only fellow Democrat Jonathan S. Adelstein, who was reappointed in December, is settled on the five-member commission, which traditionally includes three members from the party that controls the White House.
Powell's time as chairman probably will be most remembered for the agency's campaign against broadcast indecency, which gained momentum after singer Janet Jackson's breast was briefly exposed during the halftime show of the 2004 Super Bowl. The incident caused a national stir and compelled Powell to launch an indecency investigation of CBS, which aired the event.
During his nationally syndicated radio show yesterday, Howard Stern bragged that no one would know who Powell is if not for him. For more than a year, Stern, who is employed by Viacom Inc.'s Infinity Broadcasting Corp., has railed against Powell and the FCC for the crackdown on indecency. In October, Stern announced that he plans to leave over-the-air radio when his contract expires in January 2006 for Sirius Satellite Radio, a subscription service outside the control of FCC decency regulations.
Beyond the indecency battle, Powell oversaw a number of significant policy moves: notably, the digital-television transition, the rollout of advanced Internet capabilities and the radical redrawing of the telephone landscape. An admitted gadget geek, Powell pushed for the rapid expansion of cell phone and wireless communications networks, calling them tools of democracy.
He also was at the center of a 2003 fight over new media ownership rules that attempted to loosen some rules governing the size and reach of companies while tightening others.
Powell expressed greater satisfaction over other, less controversial decisions, such as the agency's speedy action to spare Internet phone service from rigorous regulation. "It's really cool that you can go to Best Buy tomorrow and buy telephone service off the shelf," he said. "One year ago, you almost never heard of it. [Internet telephone service] . . . goes to the very core of telephone service; it's not some cutesy music download program."
Reaction to Powell's exit yesterday was split. Some lauded his administration while others expressed delight at its end.
"Chairman Michael Powell has spent the last eight years revolutionizing the telecommunications industry by championing new technologies and advocating competition," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in a written statement. "Under his stewardship, the Commission's deregulatory decisions have increased investment in the telecommunications sector, allowing this segment of the economy to grow exponentially."
Robert W. McChesney, a critic of the corporate media and a Powell adversary, said: "His tenure was marked by some of the lowest moments in the history of the FCC. . . . Powell's record has been one of avoiding the public he was meant to serve. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the few public hearings he attended, yet he made countless appearances before industry groups and trade associations."
Powell, a telecommunications lawyer, is a former Army officer who left the service after suffering a near-fatal injury in a 1987 training exercise. He was appointed to the FCC by President Bill Clinton in 1997. After George W. Bush was elected president in 2000, Powell was elevated to the chair the agency.
During his tenure, Powell was criticized by the FCC's two Democratic commissioners and a variety of organizations and advocacy groups for allowing Big Media to grow even bigger. Eventually, the Republican-led Congress took one of the rules -- determining how many stations a television network can own -- out of the FCC's hands and fixed the limits in law. The rest of the rules were put on hold by a federal court, pending review. "I'm not nearly as disappointed about media ownership," he said yesterday. "It really wasn't one of my priorities."
Powell also rejected criticism that the agency favored big business, saying the FCC had approved rules over industry objections allowing consumers to keep their phone numbers when they changed providers and also backed a do-not-call list aimed at curbing telemarketing.
Under Powell, the FCC approved some big mergers, such as the combination last year of Cingular Wireless LLC and AT&T Wireless Services Inc.
But Powell also blocked a merger he felt would harm consumers -- EchoStar Communications Corp.'s 2002 attempt to buy Hughes Electronics Corp.'s DirecTV business, combining it with EchoStar's Dish Network service. Powell said the union would have eliminated competition between the nation's only two major satellite services and eventually drive up subscription prices. It was the first major merger blocked by the FCC in the past 30 years.

This disclosure in general relates to an integration service and domain object for use in connection with telecommunications operational support.
Changes in the laws relating to the telecommunications industry have required certain telephone companies to provide shared access to common telecommunications resources. Often, a single company manages these common telecommunications resources. As a result, this single company provides access to operational support systems to various competitors, customers, consumers, and vendors. However, the current operational support systems are often single-purpose, inflexible systems that are costly to maintain or enhance. In addition, many companies have multiple telecommunications resources supported by many different single-purpose systems for differing regions. Sharing these resources is complicated by the need to support multiple access protocols and diverse resource support systems. In one example, regional laws require that competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC) be given access to operational support systems managed by incumbent local exchange carriers (ILEC) to provide billing, fulfillment, and assurance support.
Sharing resources is further complicated by mergers and acquisitions of local exchange carriers. With a merger or acquisition, the surviving local exchange carrier faces the problem of supporting multiple diverse legacy systems performing similar functions, or investing considerable capital to replace or standardize the various operational support systems.
As such, many problems exist in providing access to operational support systems. Accordingly, there is a need for improved computer systems for telecommunications operational support.
In a particular embodiment, the disclosure is directed to an integration service. The integration service includes an interface layer, a logic layer, an object layer, and a resource layer. The interface layer includes a plurality of communications adapters. The logic layer includes a first interface and has access to a rules engine. The object layer includes a second interface, a transformation service, and an object. The resource layer includes a plurality of resource interface modules. The resource interface modules have access to a plurality of diverse resource systems. The resource interface modules may acquire a first data from the plurality of diverse resource systems. The transformation service transforms the data into the object. The logic layer accesses the object and provides a second data through one of the plurality of communications adapters.
In another embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a system associated with telecommunication related service. The system includes a business logic layer, and a transformation service module. The business logic layer has access to at least one object. The transformation service module transforms data acquired from the plurality of diverse telecommunication related resource systems into the object.
In a further embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a domain object for use in connection with a telecommunication related integration service. The domain object includes an access interface, and a resource connector interface. The resource connector interface initiates transactions at a plurality of resource connectors associated with remote telecommunication related resource systems.
In an additional embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a method for providing an interface to distributed resource systems. The method includes receiving a first communication from an integration service; instantiating an object; initiating interaction with a resource system; and translating a response from the resource system into the object.
The disclosure is also directed to a method for interacting with distributed resource systems. The method includes requesting a transaction associated with a resource system using an object layer; connecting to a resource system using a resource connection layer to facilitate the transaction; and translating a transaction result into a fielded response using the resource connection layer.
The use of the same reference symbols in different drawings indicates similar or identical items.
An enterprise integration architecture system is described that enables a diverse set of access systems to communicate with a diverse set of resource systems through a common integrated system architecture. The enterprise integration architecture provides a common framework that can be leveraged when integrating a diverse set of telecommunications technologies and vendor equipment. Efficient and accurate data communications are provided using various exemplary embodiments of enterprise integration architectures, business integration services, adaptors, common integration busses, or common network resources.
The business application service 102 may take the form of one or more servers and may, for example, include client applications that request services of the business integration services 108 and 122, and the business integration service shared workspace 114. Users may use the business application service 102 to access various data and perform various functions associated with the business integration services tier including the business integration services 108 and 122, and the business integration service shared workspace 114. In turn, the business integration services 108 and 122 may access distributed resources through various applications 112, 126, and 130 and the business integration service shared workspace 114. The resource systems may include diverse and distributed operational support systems for local exchange carriers, vendors, competitors, trading partners, data storage systems, and other systems. In effect, the business integration service systems 108, 114, and 122 function to mediate the disparate data and functions resident in the resource systems by providing a consistent functional interface to client applications. The business integration service systems 108, 114, and 122 may provide additional functional capabilities not supported by the resource systems.
The business integration services 108 and 122 and the business integration services shared workspace 114 represent one or more server systems providing computing functions and data to the business application service 102 through the common integration bus 106 and adaptor 104. The business integration services 108 and 122 access one or more remote resource systems or applications 112, 126 and 130 through various adaptors 110, 124 and 128. The remote resources may include databases, usage systems, PREMIS systems, ASON systems, TIRKS� systems, Service Order Retrieval Distribution (SORD) systems, and CRIS systems. The business integration services 108 and 122 are organized to access such remote resources to acquire data or perform a requested function and to relay the data or result to the business application service 102. The business integration services 108 and 112 may perform functions such as product management, customer information management, order management, network resource management, service management, location information management, usage management, rating and pricing, bill preparation, and trouble administration.
For example, the business application service 102 may access data or functionality associated with the business integration service 108 through the adaptor 114 and communications integration bus 106. The business integration service 108 accesses a resource or application 112 through an adaptor 110 and provides data or function results to the business application service 102. As illustrated in connection with the business integration service 108, a single application 112 may be accessed through an adaptor 110. Alternately, one or more applications may be accessed by a given business integration service through various adaptors. For example, business integration service 122 may access applications 126 and 130 through adaptors 124 and 128, respectively. In addition, the business application service 102 may access the business integration shared workspace 114. This business integration shared workspace 114 may be coupled with data 116, process states 120 and rules 118. In this manner, data 116, process states 120, and rules 118 may be served or applied from a business integration service tier without accessing a remote resource application.
The business application service 102 may, for example, provide billing, fulfillment, and customer assurance functionality to various access interfaces. These functionalities are achieved by accessing the business integration services 108 and 122 and the business integration shared workspace 114. For example, an integrated billing service may be accomplished through a business application service 102 accessing a business integrated service 122, which acquires usage data from various subscriber systems, such as applications 126 and 130. In another example, address verification may be retrieved by a single business integration service 108 accessing a resource application 112 associated with the requested address. Business application service 102 functionality is achieved through interaction with one or more business integration services and the business integration services shared workspace, each having access to various combinations of applications, data, rules, and process states.
In general, users utilizing a variety of communications, protocols and methods access the business application service 102. The business application service 102 accesses an appropriate business integration service or business integration shared workspace to acquire data or to perform a function. The business integration service or business integration shared workspace accesses data in remote distributed systems to provide the desired functionality. In this manner, a common applications interface may be provided through the business application service 102 while functionality is performed on a variety of remote and diverse resource systems and applications 112, 126 and 130 and through a shared workspace 114.
The business application services 232 may be performed by one or more computational systems or servers. The business application services 232 may include customer care services 234 and provider care services 246. The customer care services 234 may include mass market sales negotiation 236, large business complex ordering 238, problem resolution 240, self-service 242, and a convergent information inquiry 244. The provider care services 246 may include supplier or partner administration services 248. The business application services 232 may function to control workflow processes and manage sessions and states. The business application services 232 may provide such functionality by accessing business integration services 210.
The business integration services 210 may be performed by one or more computational systems or servers. The business integration services 210 may manage and execute tasks and provide stateless business functions. This management and task execution may include providing interfaces, system integration, translation, coordination, scheduling, notification, caching, staging, and metadata repositories. Exemplary embodiments of the business integration services 210 include product management 212, customer information management 214, order/service request management 216, network resource management 218, service management 220, location information management 222, usage management 224, rating and pricing 226, bill preparation 228, and trouble administration 230. These business integration services 210 may function to access diverse resource systems and interfaces through the shared distributed computing infrastructure 260. For example, the business integration services 210 may access business management systems 204. These business management systems 204 may include procurement, human resources, finances, and enterprise data warehouse (EDW) functionality. In some embodiments, the business management systems 204 may take the form of legacy database systems, such as SAP or Oracle, among other similar systems. The business integration services 210 may also access operational support systems 206 through the shared distributed computing infrastructure 260. These operational support systems 206 may include ordering, provisioning, assurance, marketing, billing, work administration, dispatching, and monitoring functions. Further, the business integration services 210 may access external suppliers and providers 208 through the shared distributed computing infrastructure 260. These external suppliers and providers may include long distance companies, network resource suppliers, equipment suppliers, exchanges, and LECs, among others.
The shared distributed computing infrastructure 260 may include shared infrastructure functions such as communications management, directory control, infrastructure management, security, and interconnection services. This infrastructure may be implemented using screen scraping such as SNA LU2, application peer-to-peer communications such as SNA-LU 6.2, IBM MQ Series, TCP/IP socket level programming, and other standard interfaces, such as CORBA, JAVA RMI/IIOP, JMS, JDBC, and message-oriented middleware. The network resources 202 may include network equipment such as switches, routers, connections, and remote terminals.
In one exemplary embodiment, a consumer may access a system through a web browser 252. The web browser may direct communication with the business application services 232 such as the consumer care services 234 (e.g. self service 242). This customer care module 234 may then access a business integration services module, such as the customer information management module 214. The customer information management module 214 may selectively communicate with a business management system 204. Using such a communications path, a consumer may change their associated customer information. In this manner, consumers located in differing geographic regions may access a common website to change information on diverse resource systems.
In another example, a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) may access a business application service 232 through an interconnection service 256. The CLEC may attempt to validate an address or facilitate a channel facility assignment. The business application service 232 may then access a module associated with the business integration service 210, such as the location information management module 222 or the network resource management module 218. The business integration service 210 may then access the business management systems 204 or the operational support systems 206 to facilitate the data transfer or functionality sought by the CLEC. In general, various examples can be envisioned that show a diverse set of access points and protocols accessing a diverse set of resource systems and interfaces to provide a common set of application services.
The infrastructure system services 308 provide the mechanisms and adaptations to enable information exchange. The infrastructure system services 308 may include industry standard internet protocols and services, such as CORBA, Jini, and HTTP; interface and data representations, such as XML, and IDL; integration enabling tools; adaptation design patterns; and naming services. The infrastructure system services 308 may include various functional modules such as logging services 312, directory services 314, security services 316, message services 318, persistence management services 320, application management services 322, transactional management services 324, and business process management services 326.
The infrastructure system services 308 may provide an application management service 322 such as a software management capability. This capability may permit operation, administration, and maintenance capabilities. The infrastructure system services 308 may also provide a configuration policy rules interface. The process management services 326 may provide a common rules repository for workflow and policy behavior. The security services 316 may apply common security policies across all layers and modules. For example, the permissions of initiators of object invocation may be validated prior to execution. The logging services 312 may log communication between various modules. For example, requests and responses from the business application service and business integration service systems may be logged by logging services 312. Persistence management services 320 may control the caching of objects. Messaging services 318 may utilize messaging standards such as Java Messaging Services (JMS) to provide synchronous, asynchronous, point-to-point, and publish/subscribe messaging. Caching services may be used to improve processing time and data recovery, and to provide temporary persistence containers. Directory services 314 may be used for looking up distributed service registrations and may permit federation of name spaces across numerous software and hardware platforms. The infrastructure system services 308 may also have infrastructure interfaces for providing common access specifications.
The business application services framework 304 and the infrastructure systems services 308 may access a business integration services framework 330 through an infrastructure interface 332. The business integration service framework 330 may include multi-layered logic. This multi-layered logic may include an interface services layer, a business logic layer, a domain object layer, and a resource connector layer. Through these layers, the business integration service framework 330 may connect with and interact with multiple diverse and distributed resource channels 328. With such a system, distributed and diverse customer channels 302 may access a common application services framework 304. This framework 304 may take advantage of reusable infrastructure systems services 308 and the common business integration services framework 330 to facilitate communication with various distributed and diverse resources 328. For example, various CLECs may optionally access billing information through a variety of proprietary or standard protocols. The billing information can be retrieved from diverse resource channels 328 through common reusable infrastructure systems and frameworks.
The common communications bus 402 may provide various functionality that conforms to communications standards such as CORBA/IIOP, Java RMI/IIOP, JMS, JDBC, and other message-oriented middleware.
The interconnection services 432 provide access to various interfaces, customers, and consumers. For example, trading exchanges 446 and internal or external clients and system interfaces 444 may access the interconnection services 432 through various means. These clients 446 and 444 may access a secured firewall 434 or a web server 436 through the Internet 442. In another embodiment, the client and system interfaces 444 may access the interconnection services 432 through an EBOND open system interconnect (OSI) common management information protocol (CMIP) system 438, CORBA, or an electronic document interchange (EDI) file transfer system 440. Through these access means 434, 436, 438, and 440, the clients 444 and exchanges 446 may access the functionality of the business application services 418 by connecting with the common communications bus 402 through the interconnections services 432.
The business application services 418 may include services such as sales modules 420, ordering modules 422, and problem handling modules 424. These modules may provide a common interface to clients and customers for accessing diverse resource systems. The business application services 418 may access the business integration services 410 through the common communications bus 402.
The business integration services 410 provide access to modules such as product management 412, customer information management 414, and service level agreement management 416. The business integration services 410 may, in turn, access the access services 426 to provide access to resource systems, such as CRIS 428 and service order retrieval distribution (SORD) 430 modules, among other diverse and distributed resource systems.
In addition, various other services and systems may access the common communications bus 402. These systems may function to manage the common communications bus or the other component systems. For example, policy management systems 404 may connect to the communications bus 402. A policy management system 404 may include security systems 406 and product manager systems 408. The system services systems 448 may provide access to the communications bus 402, to directory systems 450, security systems 452, and management systems 454.
Similarly, assurance functionality may be provided using problem handling modules 512 and customer QOS management 514 in the customer care processes level 506; service problem resolution module 524 and service quality management 526 in the service development and operations processes level 518; and network inventory management 536 and network maintenance and restoration module 538 in the network and systems management processes level 530. Billing functionality may be provided through invoice collection modules 516 in the customer care processes level 506; rating and discounting modules 528 in the services development and operations processes level 518, and network data management module 540 in the network and systems management processes level 530. Through these high-level business application service modules, more specific process flows can be identified. Through these specific process flows, the business application services may access the physical network 542. For example, various modules may access a business integration services system.
With an application service including the example described above, an interface for federated access to customer data may be provided. This federated access may aggregate and manage customer data from diverse resource systems. The customer data may include personal customer information, usage data, subscription service data, service request data, address data, and telephone number data, among others. For example, the federated access may result in an aggregate bill including charges for several diverse communications services and products.
The layered structure may include an interface services layer 610, a business logic layer 612, a domain object layer 614, and a resource connector layer 616. Each layer may be instantiated multiple times. The interface services layer 610 may provide interfaces to systems such as business application services system 602.
Communications from the business application services system 602 are received and directed to the business logic layer 612. The business logic layer 612 provides business logic to control the flow and enforcement of enterprise business rules and policies for the business integration services. This business logic may be separated from the knowledge of the resource systems through domain objects. The business logic layer 612 accesses the domain object layer 614 to instantiate domain objects, which in turn may access resource system 606 through the resource connection layer 616. The domain object layer 614 integrates data from various resources into the business logic layer functionality. The domain object layer 614 may access data on resource systems through the resource connector layer 616. In this manner, the domain object layer 614 may integrate and manipulate data without detailed knowledge of the resource interface systems. The resource connector layer 616 connects and interfaces with diverse resource systems using various translators, connectors, and parsers.
To create a domain object, the domain object layer 906 determines the resource system transactions that may be used to create a requested domain object. In part, the domain object layer 906 may be directed by drivers or controllers in the business logic layer 902. Then, the domain object layer 906 requests the resource connection layer 910 to perform the resource system transactions. The domain object layer 906 translates the results of the resource system transactions into domain objects. The domain object layer 910 may use the common identity or access key provided by the business application service when communicating with the resource connector layer 910.
Persistence of domain objects may be utilized through the domain object cache 916. Domain objects may be cached as requested or pre-fetched according to rules and policies. These rules and policies may also be tuned at runtime to enhance performance.
For example, the resource connector layer 1106 may receive a request from the domain object layer 1102. The resource connector layer 1106 may, then, connect to resource systems to facilitate a transaction. The results of the transaction are then translated into a fielded response. The transaction results are then provided to the domain object layer 1102.
To integrate a resource system into the architecture, an adaptor or connector may be coupled to or given access to the resource system. The adaptor or connector may also be coupled to a resource channel of the distributed computing system or business integration service. In this manner, legacy systems, diverse operational support systems, diverse billing support systems, and diverse facility systems may be integrated into the enterprise infrastructure. Such integration may be useful when merging or acquiring telecommunication related companies serving diverse regions or offering diverse services.
The above disclosed subject matter is to be considered illustrative, and not restrictive, and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications, enhancements, and other embodiments which fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, to the maximum extent allowed by law, the scope of the present invention is to be determined by the broadest permissible interpretation of the following claims and their equivalents, and shall not be restricted or limited by the foregoing detailed description.

Improving the lives of people who suffer from computer intolerance
Our Solution
Following a concussion, a student may struggle with many months of cognitive issues. The potential of an e-reader screen to assist the transition back to normal function could be of significant benefit in the recovery phase.
Having participated in a demonstration of the electronic paper screen developed by Iris Technologies, it is my considered opinion that this device has potential to address common visual symptoms experienced by persons with concussion or migraine syndrome.


text: Most of you here at Lawnsite are familiar with our Tedbrakes Front Braking System, and we are seriously considering building our own line of Zero Turn Mowers and you might be surprised at the name I've picked - Redneck Mowers Inc. Our slogan is, "Built Like a Brick Sh!t House" but don't let the name get in your way. If you Google this phrase, it is actually a compliment. We want your ultimate mower wishlist of features . . . ALL OF THEM! Here are some of the main issues that we are planning to address when designing the Best Mower ever built, and you can be a part of it. We have the Manufacturing Capabilities already in place at Construction Attachments , our family company here in North Carolina. The only thing we lack is a Trump Laser which is on the way. Those of you who know me personally know that when I do something, I only know how to do it one way. My goal is to built the best ztr mower that has ever been built to date: I play hard, and I play to win. The first three models that we are designing are going to be Full Commercial Mowers, but meant for the serious homeowner too. Some of the features that we are looking to build into our mowers are four wheel independant torsion bar suspension, shaft driven mower decks for reliability with the dual belt design. All pump drive belts will be dual belts as well. If a belt doesn't slip, then it doesn't wear. Also, all mowers will be equipped with the patent pending TedBrakes front braking system and fold down ROPS for safety. With new mowers holding upwards of twenty gallons of fuel, Bad Boy has the patent on swing away fuel tanks, which work great for maintainance but you still need four five gallon cans and a funnel to fill them up, or you can load it on the trailer to take it to the gas station. We like the idea of four removable tanks, two on each side with a gas feed at the top and removable with a quick disconnet like an outboard boat and a vent system that will never leave gas on your mower. Next up on our idea list - All cast iron pulleys with large American Made Bearings. Not sure about you guys, but I am tired of getting a cheap idler pulley that says "Made In USA" riveted together with a cheap chinese bearing that has a short life. These are just a couple of design staples associated with the new Redneck Mowers, and we want your input on what you think will make this mower better. Our goal is to keep the price of these mower where they should be while providing the best mower built with the best price. Please put as many of your ideas that you want to see in a mower in this thread, and together we can create the best mower to date!

Here at Maple Grove Firearms, we're busy conducting several private classes for the Minnesota Permit to Carry license. We have a reasonable price of $500 for us to train up to 15 people in a group. These private classes are not advertised on our website, so sometimes, we end up having a thin public class schedule because we're busy doing private classes. At 15 people, each person's cost is $33 – a serious bargain if you can pull together the folks for the class.
In just April and May of 2014, we will have conducted 3 private events – one for a group of 15 people, one for a group of 6 and another for a group of 12.
Our fee of $500 doesn't include any extras, such as pizza, range time, eyes, ears, ammunition or books. All of those elements will cost extra – we can discuss this with you when you contact us to schedule a private event. We'll come to your house or place of business or community site to do the course instruction and then we'll use a range here in Maple Grove, Rogers or Osseo for the shooting portion of the class. We'll even split up the event into two evenings if that is better for you.
If you're interested in a private Minnesota Permit to Carry course or our NRA Home Firearm Safety course, call Bill English at 763-458-3722 to discuss your options and when you might want to hold your own, personalized Minnesota Permit to Carry class.

New year, new you — new career?
Workplace issues and career inspiration top many New Year's resolutions lists, and as the calendar turns over to 2013, life purpose/career coach Lou Daddea has some ideas on making sure workplace goals don't go the way of the unused gym membership.
Start with evaluating your current position and how happy you are in it, said Daddea, who runs his practice in Houston, Pa.
Instead of focusing on what's wrong with the job, focus on what you do right, and then ask yourself how much the position accommodates those strengths.
And if you want to leave your job, don't start drafting your own pink slip right away.
For those interested in a possible career change, that means forgoing an "I QUIT!" speech and, instead, focusing on preliminary investigations into other options, Daddea said.
"What's really important is to set a goal that is not so far out of reach for you and your current habits," he said.
Picture a staircase, Daddea said. No one gets to the top with one giant leap — instead, set incremental goals throughout the year that take resolutions step-by-step.
Those who don't want to leave their jobs can still benefit from some reflection at the beginning of the year, he said.
"If you feel like you're in the right career, look at the things you like — the strengths, the values and talents, and how you're able to express those in your current job," he said.
And while it can be touchy to tell co-workers that you plan to leave or are unhappy in your position, Daddea said it's imperative you share resolutions and goals with those you trust.
"It's putting a message out there to anybody that could support you and hold you accountable," he said. "But be conscious who you're sharing it with."
When Daddea decided to leave the information-technology field and pursue a career in life coaching, he was upfront with his boss about the new pursuit.
Of course, many resolutions are focused on goals that affect how you spend your time off the clock — focusing on home life and relationships.
Daddea advises clients seeking a better work/life balance to focus on the quality of time, not the quantity of it. Don't juggle your smartphone in one hand and a baby in the other, he said.
"Make sure that in the time spent, you're present and your mind is focused on whatever is at hand," he said.

Over thirty twisters have bee reported over the past several hours in our nations middle region.
Just a few years ago a tornado devastated the Little Rock area, and now once again the local residents unfortunately found themselves huddling in the dark wondering how they would rebuild after the most powerful tornado yet this year carved a path through their city and others nearby, killing at least 16 people in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma.
One of these tornadoes touched down Sunday about 10 miles west of Little Rock at around 7 p.m., then carved an 80-mile path of destruction as it passed through or near several suburbs north of the state capital, including Vilonia. It grew to be a half-mile wide and remained on the ground for much of that route, authorities said. A new $14 million intermediate school that was set to open this fall was destroyed.

Following Bader's impressive, decision win over Rashad Evans last month, he continued to campaign for a fight with the light-heavyweight champ Cormier. But since Jon Jones has been reinstated by the UFC, it's clear that the promotion plans to have him fight "DC" next.
In the latest episode of "UFC Tonight" on FOX Sports 1, it was reported that Bader and Johnson will battle on January 30th. The scrap will headline UFC on FOX 18, which will be hosted by the Prudential Center in Newark.
So, this isn't surprising news really, since it matches up the #3 ranked Bader against the #1 contender in Johnson. One would think the winner will go on to face whoever takes Cormier-Jones II, which has yet to be signed.
Johnson took out Jimi Manuwa in his last outing at UFC 191, after he was submitted by Cormier at UFC 187 in May.

The Bosnian stopper has been on United's radar this month but a move in the summer could be more realistic as other top clubs are also interested to sign the 25-year old.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is not completely convinced with his current goalkeepers David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard. De Gea, 22, is yet to settle in England and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Manchester City have also shown keen interest in Begovic, with a view to give tough competition to Joe Hart.
Meanwhile, United have been eyeing Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina but face heavy competition from Barcelona. United are close to signing 19-year old Dean Santangelo from Augsburg but not as a direct replacement for De Gea.
Begovic's choice to join United is clear as he doesn't intend to face direct competition from Hart at City. At Old Trafford, the Potters No. 1 will directly replace De Gea in goal.
United boss Ferguson has looked at other options across Europe with Fernando Muslera from Galatasaray, Newcastle United's Tim Krul and Sunderland's Simon Mignolet.
Stoke manager Tony Pulis will demand nearly £15 million for Begovic, who is under contract with the Potters until 2016.

Hayne gives himself a pre-game manicure0:16
NSW superstar Jarryd Hayne gives himself a pre-game manicure ahead of State of Origin, Game 3. Courtesy Channel Nine/NRL Highlights
QUEENSLAND may have nailed the Blues last night after an otherwise victorious State of Origin campaign for the underdogs, but the highlight of last night's finale was less about the football and more about the fanciful.
As the Blues failed to chase a 3-0 trifecta against the Maroons, losing 32-8 to Queesland, fullback Jarryd Hayne had more pressing issues on his mind, like a manicure.
The Parramatta Eels star used the time before Queensland took to the field to attend to a pressing issue — cutting his nails.
And, like any Australian sport where masculinity seldom meets style, he was quickly cut down on social media.
I guess Hayne didn't want to break a nail... as if wearing a sports bra wasn't emasculating enough! #Origin— Browny (@brownypaul) July 9, 2014

hahah good to see how Jarryd Hayne feels about this game. nail clipping his hands before the game hahaha #stateoforigin #deadRubber— Mux (@Magic_Mux) July 9, 2014
Origin I also had people talking, and not just about the game, when Trent Hodkinson pulled off his jersey and took a little shirtless stroll across Suncorp. The eyes of the nation were not looking at his six-pack.
"Wait, is that man wearing a bra?!" was a comment echoed through countless living rooms and households across the Eastern States.
Rugby league tragics collectively facepalmed as Origin newbies and their better halves wondered if the NSW half-back was wearing a crop top from Supre or a Lululemon Booby Bracer to keep his manboobs in check.
NRL aficionados knew that Hodkinson's crop top was not in fact a support garment for "moobs", but rather a sophisticated GPSports tracker.
And at $2000-$3000 each, it's an expensive little garment at that.

Following the June 26th ruling by the United States Supreme Court in the case of the District of Columbia vs. Heller, Congressman Randy Neugebauer (TX-19) released the following statement:
"I am pleased the Supreme Court upheld the Second Amendment right of all Americans to keep and bear arms in a 5-4 ruling.
"This decision is the first time in U.S. history that the Supreme Court ruled Americans have a right to own firearms for personal use. Additionally, this is the first time in nearly 70 years that the highest court in America ruled that the Constitution protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, without having any ties to a state militia.
"In this case, the Supreme Court Justices followed their pledge to protect the Constitution and interpret this document, rather than inserting their political views by legislating from the bench.
"While the origin of the case was a law in the District of Columbia that restricts gun possession, the precedent set today will have a significant ripple effect in how the rights of citizens to own firearms will be dealt with in the future.
"I sincerely hope that judges and elected officials across the nation respect the ruling of the Supreme Court and do not attempt to create burdensome laws that keep law-abiding Americans from exercising the constitutional right the Supreme Court upheld on June 26th."

Thursday was the last day this week - Friday is a Pro-D Day -
sooooo we have some work to do!
Everyone has footage to edit, so we all take a look at the editing program Final Cut X.
|Everyone on Team COFFEE gives input on shots and edits. Mackenzie takes control of the computer
|Patrick gives tips to Team TSB on favouriting clips to help the editing process
At 10:20am there is an Earthquake and Tsunami drill, so everyone makes their way to the field.
|3 years ago there was a serious earthquake here so this drill is important
|Classes are grouped by grade this time since the 'alarm' went off during break time
|The principal, Devlin, announces that we all have to walk to the top of the hill
|Moving to higher ground for a Tsunami is clearly the right choice.
After the drill we have a great view back to the school
|Niccola tests eye makeup on Hannah (the ghost)
|Jacey is quick to learn the editing program and adds titles and voices to the rough assembly of their documentary
|Jacey and Tyra interview Kris about the Stone Ribs Legend (known sometimes as Quartz Ribs)
|Takarra is back on the TSB team today (she blocks the light for Kris) since she caught up with her classes.
Tonight from 6-8pm Team Coffee shoot in the Haida Gwaii Museum - Thanks for letting up use this location Scott!
The team has a breakdown of shots so they use their time wisely and make sure they don't miss anything. They also need to be sure not to film any Haida artwork since we don't have the permissions to do so.
We want to be a respectful film crew.
|Tonight Heather is the director and Hannah is again working camera
|This bear has a cameo in the film
|Filming an antique record player - the sound of the record starting by itself will be added in post
|We had to wait until the light was just right to shoot this scene in hallway
|A reaction shot of Niccola when she hears the sound of the record player
|In this scene the main character runs out of the museum doors and into the night!
|For the final scene of the night, Niccola finds out she is locked inside the museum
Once again, our professional crew finishes the shoot 5 minutes early. We packup and leave right on time! Thanks again everyone! Good work!

Pervez Musharraf rearrested in Lal Masjid case
Musharraf was re-arrested in the Lal Masjid (red mosque) killing case after his lawyer deposited two bail bonds of one million rupees each in the Supreme Court Thursday, the Dawn reported.
Musharraf has already got bail in two cases, including the 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
The court Wednesday granted bail to Musharraf with the judges observing that substantial evidence was not available to implicate the former president in the criminal conspiracy regarding Nawab Akbar Bugti's murder during a military operation in 2006.
Musharraf's lawyers said Wednesday that he was cleared to leave the country.
"We have put Gen. (retd.) Musharraf under house arrest in a case involving a military operation on an Islamabad mosque," Muhammad Rizwan, a senior official of the Islamabad police told reporters after Musharraf's arrest Thursday.
"We will present him before a court on Friday," Rizwan added, after visiting Musharraf's plush villa at the edge of Islamabad, which has been declared a sub jail.
A complaint against Musharraf in the Lal Masjid case was registered last month on the orders of a judge.

Graphics weren't that great, but the idea's there overall could be better! It's probably the music file you have in the flash that's giving it the large file size!, compress the music file to make it smaller!

Update: MARCH 2017
We are currently delivering our Artsmark development plan. We hope to submit our case study to support our bid for Platinum level in May 2017. You can read our Statement of Commitment and view our Artsmark Development Plan 2016-17.
We are very proud to have been designated an Artsmark Gold school in recognition of our focus on high quality arts provision for all students at Thomas Tallis School. Our application was supported by the Helen Storey Foundation with whom we have worked on a number of ground-breaking and influential projects uniting the arts and sciences.
Your application demonstrated an excellent commitment to providing high quality arts provision that is embedded across your curriculum and we would like to congratulate you on the hard work and commitment that went into achieving this respected award.
We pursued the following development priorities for our Artsmark Gold designation:
About Artsmark
We believe every child should have the opportunity to create, compose, and perform, as well as to visit, experience, participate in and review extraordinary work.
Artsmark can help unlock the potential of children and young people, help to develop character and talent, and increase their knowledge and understanding.
That's why Artsmark was created: to bring this ambition to life in every classroom.
Awarded by Arts Council England, designed by schools, the new Artsmark award will help schools to deliver a high quality arts and cultural education and provides an excellent way to demonstrate this.
Across the country Artsmark is rewarding more and more schools for championing arts and culture. Any school setting can apply.
Artsmark schools gain access to exceptional resources as well as networks of the country's most treasured cultural organisations, helping them develop and strengthen their arts provision.
One of our long standing partners in creative learning had the following to say:
Working with Thomas Tallis has deeply informed my own creative process - not so much the taking of 'art' into the school, as the privilege of sharing the core and the origin of the creative process and watching it grow in their hands – if only every school was able to make this investment into the lives of the next generation.
-- Professor Helen Storey MBE
