Although interest in crisis management appears to be growing in the nonprofit sector, many leaders continue to naively believe that a crisis-free history, compelling mission and dedicated staff create a protective shield against crisis events. An important truth about crisis events is that no organization is immune. A crisis is most often an event you didn’t see coming, which takes you by surprise, and tests the mettle of even your most experienced staff and volunteer leaders. Another truth about crisis events is that even though you are unlikely to face the exact set of circumstances in your worst nightmare, ANY time spent preparing for a crisis will serve you well when a crisis unfolds in your nonprofit.
In our experience as a risk advisor to the nonprofit sector, we have observed that most nonprofits seem to survive the crisis events they face. This means that both prepared and unprepared nonprofits generally weather the crisis tornados they thought wouldn’t touch down in their backyards. We attribute the high survival rate to what we refer to as “resilience DNA” — an intuitive skill set that enables most nonprofit CEOs, boards and organizations to get tossed in the air and still land on their respective feet. So if we are pretty good at surviving crisis events without preparation, why devote precious time to crisis management?
To avoid collateral damage from a crisis. You may survive a crisis without preparation, but although you survived your nonprofit may have sustained some avoidable harm, such as morale-crushing stress on staff, loss of confidence by the board, and the diversion of funds needed for your mission.
To inspire confidence. The most effective risk management programs inspire confidence among stakeholders. Confidence at the board table frees up the board to focus on the strategic direction of the nonprofit, rather than spend its precious time obsessively focused on operational details.
To fortify your mission. Without any preparation, your mission will take a beating during a crisis. Time, energy, and other resources will be drawn away from critical programs and services to plug the holes, stop the bleeding, and deal with the mess that you might have been able to avoid.
Watch the Clock — According to Drachler, for many years, organizations had perhaps an hour to respond to media inquiries about a crisis, before a reporter would move on and find another source. But in today’s digital age, the timer is set for 15 minutes. So regardless of what you’ll say, you need to make sure that a trained and prepared “someone”… (and their designated backup) is ready to respond without delay.
Calm — Your chance of surviving with mission intact and little or no avoidable damage increases substantially if you’re able to stay calm during a crisis. And remember that during a crisis the focus is on senior leaders: your sense of calm will inspire others to remain calm as well.
Context — Don’t forget context when trouble lands at your doorstep; take action with your mission, history, service model and clientele as an always present backdrop. Be the organization your most supportive stakeholders believe you to be.
Connections — A common mistake is to wade through a crisis without getting outside help. Now’s the time to use your connections to fortify your mission. Don’t be a hero; be a connector.
Compassion — Never forget that you are in the compassion business. Failing to show compassion for any presumed victims will cost you dearly.
Capable — Don’t pretend to have all the answers when it’s clear there are unknowns; instead, promise to get information or answers to questions you’re getting from the media and other stakeholders.
Current — Provide up to date information to key stakeholder groups as the crisis unfolds. Update basic information on your nonprofit before a crisis erupts, so that you can focus on the new events in the moment, rather than having to re-do an outdated mission statement or board roster.
Concise — Clarity is key when communicating to employees, volunteers, the board, clientele or the media during a crisis. Don’t ramble; use well-understood terms to describe what’s happening and how your nonprofit is responding to the crisis.

One person is dead following a multi-vehicle collision along US-131 in downtown Schoolcraft, Michigan on Tuesday morning.
According to Michigan Live, the deadly accident occurred around 6:45 am Monday when a PT Cruiser rear-ended a vehicle at an intersection, initiating a chain of collisions.
Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas stated that two vehicles traveling southbound on US-131 were slowing to make a turn near West Lyons Street. The PT Cruiser collided with the second vehicles, forcing it into the first vehicle which then burst into flames.
The impact forced the flaming vehicle into a power pole just south of West Lyons Street – the occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
Emergency workers were unable to extricate the body until power workers removed the power pole that had fallen over in the crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 33,561 people lost their lives in traffic collisions in 2012. An additional 2,362,000 people were injured.
On average, there were 92 traffic related fatalities a day in 2012, or roughly one death every 16 minutes.
21,667 of those killed were occupants of passenger vehicles, 25 percent of which were ejected from their vehicles.
NHTSA also estimates that roughly 52 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2012 were not wearing a seatbelt.

March was a very interesting month across middle Tennessee. Here in Cookeville, We saw March come in like a lamb with quiet, above normal temperatures during the first 5 days or so.
The photo above is from one of two webcams maintained by the Cookeville/Putnam County Emergency Management Agency. See their weather site or you can view their Facebook page.
From the 17th to the 22nd, we saw temperatures top 70° for 3 days and top 80° for another 3 with nearly a week of 70°+ readings. Those warm readings were followed by a cold spell from the 25th-31st with just one day above 60° (the 29th).
The warmest day of March was 22nd at 81° while March 2nd was the coldest low at 30.8°. March 2011 had just one day with highs in the 30's and that was on March 6th. We had just 6 days with highs in the 40's and 5 of those 6 occurred in the last 7 days of March!
Precipitation was quite the story as well. We finished up with 7.06" (much above the average of 5.63" during a typical March). We saw snow mixing in with rain yesterday (3/31/2011). Just as we think we're into spring, we are reminded of how much variety Tennessee really has!
There was measurable precipitation on 14 of 31 days. The most in a 24-hour period (measured from midnight to 11:59 pm) was 1.85" on March 30th with 1.50" measured on March 5th and 0.98" measured on March 9th.
For the year, we sit at 17.38 of precipitation, which is above the norm of 15.44" for the first three months of the year.
The highest wind gust was 44 mph on March 9th with gusts of 30 and 31 mph on March 4th and 5th. During our mid-month warm spell, wind gusts of 20 mph plus were common.
If you enjoy numbers, my LIVE WEATHER STATION has a historical file that you can access at Weather Underground. The direct link to my history is here.
Want to see other Cookeville-based weather stations? Weather Underground has a page dedicated to Cookeville as well. You can access it here. Be sure when you are there to select Northeast Cookeville as your station near the top of the page. My station updates automatically every 2 seconds.

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black - the inks we mix together to produce your printed material.
RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue - the colours of light a computer screen mixes together to make colours on screen. In other words RGB is used for viewing colours on a computer screen, like this website.
All our presses, big and small, use cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to transform your digital file to printed media. Please ensure your artwork is set up as CMYK. If you use RGB images or colours we will convert these to CMYK for you but the colour of your printed file may appear different when printed.
Rich black is a CMYK mix. No registration is absolutely perfect; there is always a little shift or stretch. Make sure that all black text is set at 100% black. This means the text is only printed once with the black plate, eliminating registration problems.
Grey ink is not used when printing in CMYK digitally. A pattern of dots or "screen" is used to achieve grey, e.g. not a solid colour. Small point sizes below 7pt or thin fonts might look only partially printed when coloured grey.
There are two ways to produce grey.
CMYK - A light grey made from all 4 colours will appear more solid as there are more dots used but this can cause registration issues.
Black Ink (K) - A light grey made from black ink will not have registration issues but the dots will be more visible as there is only one colour used.
Be careful when using small font sizes. We don’t recommend smaller than 7pt for small format work up to A3 and 11pt for large format above A3. Remember, the smaller the text the harder it is to keep in register. If you have to use small text we recommend you use 100% black to eliminate any registration problems.
As there is always a small degree of movement when printing and finishing a job, it is recommended that your artwork is at least 5mm from the edge of the page if it is not meant to bleed off. This is known as the ‘safe area’. Avoid printed borders placed too close to the edge of a page as they may look uneven when the job is trimmed.
Please check your overprint settings carefully. All overprinting must be correct in a print ready PDF as it is not always obvious to the printer, especially in larger files with many pages.
Using overprint preview in Acrobat will give you a guide as to which colours will overprint and which will remain unchanged.
Do not set white text to overprint. Setting a colour to overprint lays a colour over the top of another colour. White in CMYK terms is 0%, so if you overprint zero ink on top of another colour it will disappear.
It is important that you supply all your artwork with 3mm bleed. click here for a detailed explanation.
Applications such as Adobe InDesign can create PDF files containing layered content. Printing a PDF file that contains layered content may mean that only the layer that is currently visible onscreen is printed. You should always “merge” or “flatten” the layers when creating a print-ready PDF.
Do not impose the pages or save them as reader’s pairs, this is not print ready. We require a PDF consisting of single pages running from the front cover through to the back cover. If blank pages are needed in the final book they need to be included in the document. For saddle-stitched books please remember that the number of pages in a book must be divisible by four (24pp 32pp 40pp etc). If your PDF has 10 pages you will need to add 2 blank pages to make it work.
Instead of supplying, for example, the front and back covers first, followed by the inner pages, it’s important to supply pages in numerical order, with the cover being the front page and the back page being the last. This ensures your document is printed correctly in the order you want.
If the document is to be folded, such as an invitation or leaflet, the folding will need to be checked before supplying us the PDF. It’s always a good idea to print a copy out on your desktop printer. Check the pages back up correctly and that the text doesn’t run into the folds, unless intended.

lowercased:
cmyk stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black - the inks we mix together to produce your printed material.
rgb stands for red, green and blue - the colours of light a computer screen mixes together to make colours on screen. in other words rgb is used for viewing colours on a computer screen, like this website.
all our presses, big and small, use cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to transform your digital file to printed media. please ensure your artwork is set up as cmyk. if you use rgb images or colours we will convert these to cmyk for you but the colour of your printed file may appear different when printed.
rich black is a cmyk mix. no registration is absolutely perfect; there is always a little shift or stretch. make sure that all black text is set at 100% black. this means the text is only printed once with the black plate, eliminating registration problems.
grey ink is not used when printing in cmyk digitally. a pattern of dots or "screen" is used to achieve grey, e.g. not a solid colour. small point sizes below 7pt or thin fonts might look only partially printed when coloured grey.
there are two ways to produce grey.
cmyk - a light grey made from all 4 colours will appear more solid as there are more dots used but this can cause registration issues.
black ink (k) - a light grey made from black ink will not have registration issues but the dots will be more visible as there is only one colour used.
be careful when using small font sizes. we don’t recommend smaller than 7pt for small format work up to a3 and 11pt for large format above a3. remember, the smaller the text the harder it is to keep in register. if you have to use small text we recommend you use 100% black to eliminate any registration problems.
as there is always a small degree of movement when printing and finishing a job, it is recommended that your artwork is at least 5mm from the edge of the page if it is not meant to bleed off. this is known as the ‘safe area’. avoid printed borders placed too close to the edge of a page as they may look uneven when the job is trimmed.
please check your overprint settings carefully. all overprinting must be correct in a print ready pdf as it is not always obvious to the printer, especially in larger files with many pages.
using overprint preview in acrobat will give you a guide as to which colours will overprint and which will remain unchanged.
do not set white text to overprint. setting a colour to overprint lays a colour over the top of another colour. white in cmyk terms is 0%, so if you overprint zero ink on top of another colour it will disappear.
it is important that you supply all your artwork with 3mm bleed. click here for a detailed explanation.
applications such as adobe indesign can create pdf files containing layered content. printing a pdf file that contains layered content may mean that only the layer that is currently visible onscreen is printed. you should always “merge” or “flatten” the layers when creating a print-ready pdf.
do not impose the pages or save them as reader’s pairs, this is not print ready. we require a pdf consisting of single pages running from the front cover through to the back cover. if blank pages are needed in the final book they need to be included in the document. for saddle-stitched books please remember that the number of pages in a book must be divisible by four (24pp 32pp 40pp etc). if your pdf has 10 pages you will need to add 2 blank pages to make it work.

You know why I'm so furious like this, don't you?
Jeez!　I just pasted [put] new paper on the sliding door!
I can't take it anymore!　Tommy, clean up your mess!
Wait a minute.　I have to ^calm down [get myself together].　Don't yell!　Don't yell!
He's such a selfish brat!
Don't do this, don't do that.　I'm sick of this!
I'm sick of this, too!　If you listen to me, this wouldn't happen in the first place!
I don't know.　She went out.
She kept asking me to get her a new PC, so I told her I'm not buying one.　Then she kind of snapped and left.
He gets angry too easily.
These days, all kids get angry too easily.
Whenever I'm in a bad mood, Lucy does something bad.
I know!　Then you get angry more than necessary, right?
These days, I've been trying to cool off before I yell at her.　I don't want to scold her more than I have to.
I want to do something about these wrinkles.
Don't frown, then.　That's what makes those wrinkles.
You and the kids makes me frown!
Sorry that I couldn't come home early for her birthday.　Was she OK?
Oh, she was mad!　She stamped her foot, and her face was [turned] red with anger but now, I think she calmed down.
I'll apologize to her tomorrow morning.
After all, what he did was not a big deal.　I wonder why I got so angry?
Whenever I get really mad, I go to my room and read a magazine for a while.　That way, I can cool [calm] down.
I always count to ten before I yell at my son, but when he's right in front of me, I can't hold my anger.
Right.　That's why it's also important to get away from your kids for a while.

Predictions about election results by astrologers, tarot card readers and others in media when there is a ban on broadcasting exit polls are a violation of law, the Election Commission said Monday.
The silence period, when campaigning in poll-going areas is barred, begins Tuesday evening.
"The Commission is of the view that prediction of results of elections in any form or manner by way of predictions etc by astrologers, tarot readers, political analysts or by any persons during the prohibited period is violation of the spirit of Section 126A (of the Representation of the People Act) which aims to prevent the electors of constituencies still going to polls from being influenced in their voting by such predictions about the prospects of the various political parties," the advisory read.
Electronic and print media is advised not to publish or publicise any article or programme related to the dissemination of results of exit polls during the prohibited period, it said.
The commission also reiterated its earlier advisory banning exit polls till the evening of May 19.
"Election Commission of India, in exercise of the powers under sub-section(1) of Section 126A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 has notified the period between 7.00 A.M. on 11.04.2019 (Thursday) and 6.30 P.M. on 19.05.2019 (Sunday) as the period during which conducting any exit poll and publishing or publicising the result of exit poll by means of the print or electronic media or in any other manner shall be prohibited," the advisory read.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. will end a program that protects young immigrants “is nothing less than cruel” and amounts to a betrayal of national values of fairness, opportunity and freedom, Archbishop of Santa Fe John C. Wester said Tuesday.
Wester called on Congress and New Mexico’s congressional delegation to pass legislation that would restore the program.
In a phone interview Tuesday, Wester called a bipartisan DREAM Act “low hanging fruit” that Congress can approve, even if it can’t agree on comprehensive immigration reform.
“It seems this is somethings we can wrap our minds around and get done,” Wester said.
Wester also said he senses anxiety among young people registered through the DACA program in New Mexico.
“There’s tremendous worry,” he said. The youths trusted the government enough to register and provide personal information, only to learn that the U.S. now may violate that trust, he said.
“Now they are very vulnerable because we know where they are, who they are,” he said.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions today declared the Obama administration’s program “an unconstitutional exercise of authority” that must be revoked. The administration is giving Congress six months to come up with a legislative fix before the government stops renewing permits for people already covered by the program.
Wester called for New Mexicans to urge their elected leaders to pass a bipartisan DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform.
“I am deeply troubled by the president’s decision today to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects more than 800,000 young immigrants from deportation,” Wester said in his statement. “In my judgment, DACA has stood as a counterpoint to the voices of exclusion and now, without the action of Congress, this crucial support for these young immigrants has been taken away.

I really liked this comment from a hacker news thread1 on a post around how Microservices architecture failed a product’s dev team.
Everytime (sic) you touch something under a repo, it affects everyone. You are forced to use existing code or improve it, or you risk breaking code for everyone else. What does this solve? This solves the fundamental problem a lot of leetcode/hackerrank monkeys miss, programming is a Social activity it is not a go into a cave and come out with a perfect solution in a month activity. More interaction among developers means Engineers are forced to account for trade offs. Software Engineering in its entirety is all about trade offs, unlike theoretical Comp Science. Anyway, this helps because as Engineers we must respect and account for other Engineers decisions.
Working on a shared code is indeed a social activity. And this principle is something I just can’t stress enough when amongst my team. There is a misguided view of coders as lone warriors, sitting in the dark corner somewhere, beating at their keyboards and delivering working software day and night.
Reality can’t be farther in most work environments, especially enterprises. Every coder needs to be accountable, extra cautious with each line of code he or she commits to the repository. If not, it might lead to a sleepless night of debugging for the whole team.

You don’t have to stop eating chocolate cake or start running marathons to improve your health. Making small but steady changes in your eating and physical activity habits—over time—may help you lose weight if you need to, feel better, and improve your health. The information below can help you start to change your physical activity and eating habits. When you make changes to improve your health, you may also move your friends and family to do the same.
Even if you are overweight according to charts and measures, you may like the size and shape of your body and not want to lose weight. Your friends and family may think you look great too.
But the health benefits of getting fit and eating well are clear. Once you decide to lose weight, your loved ones may want to join you on your journey to better health.
Am I risking my health by being overweight?
You can help lower your risk for many health problems by losing weight. Losing 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can help improve your health. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, losing 10 to 20 pounds may help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol level. Slow and steady weight loss of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week is the safest way to lose weight.
How do I start to lose weight and improve my health?
Regular moderate-intensity physical activity can be fun and help you feel great. When you share physical activity with your friends and family, it can also be a social event. Make it your goal to try to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, or better yet, all days of the week. You may need to be physically active for more than 30 minutes a day to help you lose and keep off extra weight.
Sometimes starting and sticking with a physical activity program can be a challenge. Figuring out how to beat your physical activity roadblocks may make it easier for you to get and stay active.
Note: If you are a man and over age 40 or a woman and over age 50, or have chronic health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, or obesity, talk to your health care provider before starting a vigorous physical activity program.
If you do not have child care, try sharing physical activities such as walking, biking, or playing tag with your child each day.
If you do not have time or are too busy to be physically active, try doing 10 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity three times a day, or putting more energy than normal into activities like housework, yard work, and playing with the kids.
If you do not like, or do not want to exercise, know that doing something you enjoy such as dancing to the radio, or planning active outings with a friend, family member or group all count!
If you do not feel safe being physically active in your neighborhood, form a group of people to walk, jog, or bike together, working out with videos in your home, or walking in a shopping mall.
Eat just enough food for you.
A healthy eating plan includes a wide variety of foods from five food groups. Let the Food Guide Pyramid help guide your food choices. Use the Food Guide Pyramid to guide the number of daily servings you eat from each food group. A range of serving numbers is given for each Pyramid food group.
Active women and most men need about 2,200 calories a day and should choose a mid-range number of servings.
The larger number is for people who eat about 2,800 calories a day, such as active men.
Improving your eating plan may take time. Changing favorite foods may be one of the most difficult parts. To enjoy tasty, lower-fat versions of some favorite foods, try the suggestions listed in this publication.
* Children, teenagers, and adults under age 25 should choose 3 daily servings from the milk, yogurt, and cheese group to meet nutritional needs.
Eat just enough for you.
To lose weight, learn to eat fewer calories. Do this by selecting foods that are lower in fat and calories from each food group.
A healthy eating plan calls for making healthy food choices and eating just enough for you. Larger servings of food have more calories. Eating more calories than your body needs leads to weight gain.
Learning about the serving sizes of foods can help you eat just enough for you. Try to measure your food for a few days. This can help you learn to recognize what one serving of a food, such as 1/2 cup of rice, looks like on your plate.
To lose weight, learn to eat fewer calories. Do this by selecting foods that are lower in fat and calories from each food group. For example, choose low-fat cheese and extra lean meat. Also, choose plenty of vegetables. They are lower in calories and fat than other foods and can help you feel full.
Instead of fried chicken, try baked, roasted, broiled, grilled, or oven-fried chicken with the skin removed.
Instead of regular ground beef, try extra lean ground beef or lean ground turkey breast.
Instead of french fries, try mashed potatoes made with nonfat milk, a baked potato topped with a vegetable or fruit salsa, or a salad.
Instead of sour cream, try low fat or nonfat sour cream or plain yogurt, or low fat cream cheese.
Instead of salt, try spices, herbs, lemon, lime, or vinegar. (Salt is not fattening, but it may contribute to high blood pressure in some people).
Do I need to drink milk?
A healthy eating plan includes a variety of foods that provides all of the nutrients the body needs. Milk is a good source of calcium. If you cannot digest lactose (the sugar found in milk), there are many ways you can get the calcium that milk offers, without drinking regular milk.
Eat canned fish with soft bones like salmon.
The path to improving your eating and physical activity habits is not easy. But don’t give up. Remember, sensible eating and physical activity habits, followed over time, are key to a healthy body, mind, and spirit!

note: if you are a man and over age 40 or a woman and over age 50, or have chronic health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, or obesity, talk to your health care provider before starting a vigorous physical activity program.
if you do not have child care, try sharing physical activities such as walking, biking, or playing tag with your child each day.
if you do not have time or are too busy to be physically active, try doing 10 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity three times a day, or putting more energy than normal into activities like housework, yard work, and playing with the kids.
if you do not like, or do not want to exercise, know that doing something you enjoy such as dancing to the radio, or planning active outings with a friend, family member or group all count!
if you do not feel safe being physically active in your neighborhood, form a group of people to walk, jog, or bike together, working out with videos in your home, or walking in a shopping mall.
eat just enough food for you.
a healthy eating plan includes a wide variety of foods from five food groups. let the food guide pyramid help guide your food choices. use the food guide pyramid to guide the number of daily servings you eat from each food group. a range of serving numbers is given for each pyramid food group.
active women and most men need about 2,200 calories a day and should choose a mid-range number of servings.
the larger number is for people who eat about 2,800 calories a day, such as active men.
improving your eating plan may take time. changing favorite foods may be one of the most difficult parts. to enjoy tasty, lower-fat versions of some favorite foods, try the suggestions listed in this publication.
* children, teenagers, and adults under age 25 should choose 3 daily servings from the milk, yogurt, and cheese group to meet nutritional needs.
eat just enough for you.
to lose weight, learn to eat fewer calories. do this by selecting foods that are lower in fat and calories from each food group.
a healthy eating plan calls for making healthy food choices and eating just enough for you. larger servings of food have more calories. eating more calories than your body needs leads to weight gain.
learning about the serving sizes of foods can help you eat just enough for you. try to measure your food for a few days. this can help you learn to recognize what one serving of a food, such as 1/2 cup of rice, looks like on your plate.
to lose weight, learn to eat fewer calories. do this by selecting foods that are lower in fat and calories from each food group. for example, choose low-fat cheese and extra lean meat. also, choose plenty of vegetables. they are lower in calories and fat than other foods and can help you feel full.
instead of fried chicken, try baked, roasted, broiled, grilled, or oven-fried chicken with the skin removed.
instead of regular ground beef, try extra lean ground beef or lean ground turkey breast.
instead of french fries, try mashed potatoes made with nonfat milk, a baked potato topped with a vegetable or fruit salsa, or a salad.
instead of sour cream, try low fat or nonfat sour cream or plain yogurt, or low fat cream cheese.
instead of salt, try spices, herbs, lemon, lime, or vinegar. (salt is not fattening, but it may contribute to high blood pressure in some people).
do i need to drink milk?
a healthy eating plan includes a variety of foods that provides all of the nutrients the body needs. milk is a good source of calcium. if you cannot digest lactose (the sugar found in milk), there are many ways you can get the calcium that milk offers, without drinking regular milk.
eat canned fish with soft bones like salmon.
the path to improving your eating and physical activity habits is not easy. but don’t give up. remember, sensible eating and physical activity habits, followed over time, are key to a healthy body, mind, and spirit!

Sensors are one of the most essential pillars of any intelligent electronics system. They provide the real world interface for a wide range of applications, whether for city infrastructures, industrial automation and control, or wearable devices, all use large arrays of sensors for collecting data. This data serves as inputs to the main control system (like a Processor or a Microcontroller) enabling intelligent decision-making. Sensors are the eyes and ears of a system, capturing critical information of the physical world and, converting these physical parameters into signals which can be measured electrically.
Sensors can be broadly classified based on the physical parameters they detect or measure, and suited to different markets and applications. Therefore, when designing intelligent systems, choosing the right sensor is critical. Certain features need to be considered when selecting the right sensor.
Analogue sensors produce a continuous output signal, ranging from a few mico-volts (uV) to several milli-volts (mV), proportional to the quantity being measured. These signals are too low to be measured so some form of amplifier is used to amplify the signal. An analogue-to digital (ADC) is used to convert the analogue signal into the digital form in order to obtain precision and accuracy, as well as to provide readable inputs to the main control system, typically a microcontroller.
Digital Sensors produce discrete output signals that are a digital representation of the quantity being measured. They produce a binary output signal in the form of logic “1” or logic “0”. The signal measured is directly converted into a digital signal output inside the sensor itself allowing it to have greater resolution and higher accuracy compare to analogue type sensors.
Farnell elemnet14 has a wide range of sensors from industry leading suppliers, provide the engineers with the choices required to develop various applications, based on specifications such as sensitivity, range, precision, resolution and accuracy from industrial applications to the latest consumer devices. Use our parametric filters to refine your search results based on your required specifications.

BS Automotive car, that won the first ever F3000 Championship and a British Championship.
In the 1985 F3000 Championship Christian Danner won at Pau, Dijon, Zandvoort and Donington and the Championship.
In 1987 it was sold to Roger Orgee who won at Donington, Silverstone and twice at Castle Combe to win the British Open Championship.
Mike Wilds also raced the car when Roger Orgee was unavailable.
Then it went to Jonathan Toulmin who fitted a Cosworth GAA engine for sprints & hillclimbs.
He retained the car for many years until I bought it via a dealer.
Originally painted white, when Danner drove it for BS Automotive, Roger Orgee painted the car red and then it was painted orange by Jonathan Toulmin.
I've repainted it white with the original sponsor logos and have reassembled it with a dummy DFV engine (e.g. blown, non-running).
It is a complete car with the original gearbox, dampers, brakes, instruments, exhaust system etc. but with a dummy engine.
I also have a useful package of spares, including some bodywork, uprights, wishbones, wheels etc.

Intel will start offering custom chips based on the Xeon D starting in the second half of this year, making it easier to tailor servers to process specific workloads.
Intel this week announced Xeon D chips for servers, storage and networking, but the four- and eight-core chips have a fixed set of components and features. The built-to-order chips later this year will be tailored to customer specifications, and to needs in storage, networking and web serving.
For example, Intel will be able to customize chips to include components such as FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), which are reprogrammable chips used for specific tasks. For example, Microsoft uses FPGAs in servers to boost the accuracy of search results in Bing. Bringing FPGAs inside Xeon D could make the chip more versatile.
"The Xeon D product family will offer many options for customization," said Lisa Spelman, director of data center product marketing at Intel, in an email.
Intel already provides custom server chips to large customers like Facebook and eBay, which are building mega data centers to handle their sites' and services' growing load of web transactions. Many of the chip tweaks are minor, based on frequency, power draw and I/O capabilities. Customizing chips helps squeeze more power efficiency and performance from servers in data centers.
The Xeon-D is Intel's first "system-on-chip" server chip, meaning there's a wider array of components packaged inside a chipset alongside the CPU. Some of those components are related to storage and networking, but there's a lot more flexibility to replace parts and customize. For example, incorporating a power hungry FPGA may result in the removal of some components to keep the power draw of Xeon D within reasonable limits.
Xeon D chips are meant for dense servers, but may also go into robots, which need more processing muscle for industrial tasks such as manufacturing and quality control. Another target for the server chip is Internet of Things systems, which must process large amounts of data from sensors and mobile devices.
Xeon D is Intel's first server chip made using the Broadwell microarchitecture, which is already being used in PC chips.

Mallory serves our clients in a Wealth Manager role, focusing on meeting our clients’ goals through financial planning and investment advice. She also manages our client service personnel, working closely with Laura and the team to create the close relationships Laurel Wealth Planning is known for.
Mallory earned her Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) credential in 2018 and her Series 65 license (which licenses a professional to give investment advice) in 2015. She began her career in financial planning in 2011 when she joined Laurel Wealth Planning. Mallory earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, graduating with high honors. While at college, she was invited to membership in the Golden Key National Honor Society, National Scholars Honor Society, and Eta Phi Alpha Honors Fraternity. Mallory was also responsible for paying her own college tuition and living costs by working many hours at a retail clothing store.
Although Mallory is in her early 30’s, many of our clients have commented on her wisdom and maturity. Raised by a single father, Mallory in her mid-twenties was devastated to find out he had terminal cancer. With a younger sister still in high school, Mallory moved home to look after her father and sister, managing as the point of contact with hospice, assisting with his care and being with him as he passed. She and her siblings coordinated his funeral and she remained at home for several more months to support her sister. A few years later, her grandmother required nursing home care. Again, the family turned to Mallory. She became the main point of contact with the nursing home, organizing her grandmother’s financial matters and making sure she was comfortable until her passing. Mallory credits both of these experiences for her strength and wisdom.
Mallory loves to read books ranging from historical fiction to the Harry Potter series to authors of the 1920s. She is also a self-proclaimed “wine enthusiast” and has toured vineyards in the Loire Valley and the Champagne region of France. Mallory also enjoys “the little things” in life, like a strong cup of coffee and spending quiet nights at home with her husband, Hank, and their yellow lab, Penny.
Speaker, “Client Financial Well-Being Post-Divorce,” March 2019. Featured speaker at the annual Family Law Institute. Mallory provided expert financial planning information on post-divorce planning checklists and resources to family attorneys and other family law experts.

The latest large-scale foodborne disease outbreak—involving Salmonella-tainted Italian salami products—has sickened at least 225 people in 44 states and Washington, DC. More than 50 are suffering illness severe enough to require hospitalization.
Coming on the heels of several high-profile, multi-state outbreaks involving everything from spinach to peanut butter, the latest incident raises questions about the safety of the food supply.
A quick review of the current outbreak reveals several trends.
1) The outbreak involves a collection of food items: about two dozen different ready-to-eat salami products. (Recall that a 2008-2009 Salmonella outbreak was linked to more than 400 different peanut-butter-containing foods).
2) The volume of products recalled is immense: more than 1.25 million pounds of meat.
3) The suspected source of the bacterium is an imported food item: the black pepper used to flavor the salami products.
In short, the food chain has become increasing convoluted and global in nature. Foods travel farther distances to reach consumers, and one product may contain ingredients sourced from several distinct producers (who may be based in the US or abroad, potentially in countries with more lax food safety regulations than the US). All of these factors increase the risk for contamination.
While APHL has no formal role in preventing food contamination, the association has played a pivotal role in detecting it so fewer people suffer illness. Laboratory-based surveillance—using the APHL/CDC PulseNet system—enables outbreaks to be identified much more swiftly than would otherwise be the case (including the ongoing salami-related outbreak), and undoubtedly detects small outbreaks that would otherwise go unnoticed. In the absence of more stringent food-safety regulations, PulseNet offers some assurance that tainted food products will be brought to the attention of state and federal authorities. In fact, the PulseNet system has proven so effective that there has been great interest in expanding it internationally.
APHL has also provided substantive input into the Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response recently released by the Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response. These guidelines are important because they provide a model and benchmarks for the kind of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency collaboration essential to contain an outbreak. The recent Salmonella outbreak, for example, involves ingredients regulated by two different federal agencies: the USDA, which regulates meat, and the FDA, which regulates pepper.

I've attached the image of the Tone Scale somebody shared on here. What does it mean to embody conservatism? I don't really see it as a positive mental state so am I missing something here?
Perhaps let go of the popular meaning of the 'word' and look towards the physics definition as being, "to remain unchanged during a process".
It's like turning your lights off, when you leave your house.
Seems like a "good" thing to me!
@Croesus Ahh I see. Thanks not squandering energy then. I can now see how conservatism is adjacent to Strong Interest on the scale. When you have decided carefully what to put your energy into, you have moved from conservatism to Strong Interest.
@walt I have a sensitive digestive system.
