title: Status on cars 1 2 3.209783

These cars are sooo close, and yet still not there. My keeper was driving beautifully with its rebuilt battery, and then started throwing battery codes. Discussed in another thread. My son's car has been giving me a triangle/CEL but my ScanGauge is not picking up any codes. Otherwise, it seems to run fine, battery 300+V, SOC 60+%, temps good. I thought the inverter pump might not be working. Fluid didn't seem to be churning in the reservoir. When I got the bumper off, I saw that it was the newer version, turned the key, and it's working fine. Drove it around some, and after clearing the CEL 2-3 times with my reader, it has stayed off for about 10 miles of driving. But, it's done this before, and the CEL came back. I've ordered a VCI cable, and it's shipped. Still need to scavenge an XP laptop and labor through the install. The third car I'm currently working on is also seemingly running fine, but it throws a 3030 code, over and over, as fast as I clear it. I replaced the buss bar harness with sensors, but not the opposite side. Hopefully, when I get TIS operating, I can identify where the problem is. Misc: the door locks don't work on one car, I can't document the details, whether it's lock or unlock or both, all doors, which doors. But it's almost all that stuff. I remember seeing only the passenger front door "try" to lock, none of the others moved. But, that would seem to suggest the arm rest control module is all connected. The Windows work. Any tips on where to look for the problem?
You probably need one or more door lock motors. The one in the driver's door failed first on mine, because it gets used most often. When it started to go out, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't; you could see the manual lock button twitching and trying to move, but it wouldn't quite go all the way from "locked" to "unlocked", or vice versa. The other symptom you will get: if one or more of the doors is unlocked, and you try to lock the car with the remote, you will 1) hear the door locks clunk once, 2) all will be quiet for a couple of seconds, 3) the door locks will clunk again, 4) the parking lights won't flash. If you manually lock all the doors, using the button above the inside handle, and then try to lock the car with the remote, you will hear all the locks clunk once and the parking lights will flash. It took me a little while to figure out the above symptoms. I had always assumed that the parking lights always flashed whenever the car ran the door lock motors, but it's actually a little smarter than that. There is a switch inside each lock motor that can tell if the door is actually locked or not. The logic is that the car runs all four of the lock motors once and then looks at all four of the switches. If all four of them say "locked", then it flashes the parking lights. If all four of them don't say "locked", it pauses a couple of seconds, and tries running the lock motors again. If that makes all four of them say "locked", you'll get a parking-light flash; if not, the car gives up. In other words, the parking light flash tells you "I have successfully locked all the doors"; if the car doesn't think it all worked, you don't get the flash. The first time this happened, I thought I had a dying battery in the remote, and I tried a couple of fresh batteries before I figured out the problem was elsewhere. On mine, the driver's door failed first, and I replaced it. Eventually, all three other doors failed (at different times), and I replaced them too. Now the driver's door has failed again, so I just use the mechanical key to unlock it. The last time I looked, Toyota still sells the lock motors new, for $100ish each. There are some $20ish knockoffs floating around on Ebay and/or Amazon, but I've been told that those don't have the switch that reports the lock/unlock status. I can't remember if that means the parking lights never flash, or that it's easier to set off the alarm, but I remember there was something "off" about them. Replacing them involves taking the inner door panel off and fishing the old lock motor out of the door. I think you may have to unbolt part of the window channel, too, but it's been a while since I've done it. You don't need any weird tools; standard sockets and wrenches do it all. You might break a couple of the plastic pegs that hold the inner door panel to the door, but you can get reasonable aftermarket replacements at the car parts store - I think I got mine at either NAPA or Autozone.
Thanks. A door motor shouldn't be too hard. And my parts cars have plenty of those. As long as it's not riveted to the door like they do with the window motors some time.
It's bolted; I don't remember having to use the rivet gun. I think the motors are handed, different part numbers for the left and right doors. I don't remember if they are different for the front door and back door, but your friendly local parts fiche will tell you that.
It's not using the rivet gun, you just use bolts and nuts to put it back together. It's grinding the rivet off that's hard work, or at least it is if you don't have a grinder and try to beat it off with a chisel.
UPDATE: I received the warranty eplacement battery. I put the original in my keeper car and it ran perfect until the battery hiccupped. I decided to put this replacement today into my car that's throwing the 3030 code, to see if that would clear the code, and it did. I still have the 3rd car, the one throwing a CEL, but no code coming up on my SG and it seems to run fine. I could swap the new battery into it to confirm it doesn't have a battery issue, but manhandling these batteries in and out by myself is hard work. My back is barking tonight. Instead, I'd love to just diagnose what's wrong with this battery that I took out (it's not the failed core I have to return to the vender, that's still in the keeper car to be removed tomorrow). If I can fix it, without having to install it in the keeper car, scan it with TIS, take it out, fix it, and put it back in, I'd sure save a lot of work. Again, it is in the battery, nothing on the car is causing the issue. I used a handheld voltmeter to test each cell, forget the details, but almost all were just fine. I swapped in some stronger cells from my first core, then another module to replace one with a stripped buss stud. Should have been a strong set of nearly balanced cells. Then, I put a new OEM buss bar harness with sensors on, but I left the back side buss bar in place after removing and cleaning it up. BTW, based on the discussions I see here this battery is either a replacement or from Canada or both? It has 3 large labels on the top, covering most of the visible area. Since the 3030 code is a wiring issue (?), where are the possible locations on the battery that could be grounding out? I didn't examine the power supply(?) or ECU closely when I was swapping those modules and buss bar. Is it likely that the back side bass bar would break? It seems so basic. I expect that the correct answer to my questions is to get TIS - I'm working on that. Have my cable, trying to scrounge up an XP laptop but not having much CraigsList luck. Has anyone run TIS on a virtual XP machine? Would that defeat the purpose of using a separate laptop from a security perspective? I am low-tech, my current laptop runs Windows 7 Home. As I look at old XP laptops on Ebay, etc, I doubt any of them have battery life left, if you could even find new ones, they probably cost as much as the PC. I hat to have to run an extension cord out to the truck to keep the XP running while I diagnose the car. Doesn't let you run see live data while driving. But, if I get TIS going, how would I use it, if at all, to figure out what's wrong with this battery? I assume it will alert me to any module pair with low voltage, and I'd then look at those cells for wiring issues, or replacement. Would it point me to any of the other battery components? Are there any tests I can do without TIS? I have the battery out of the car right now. I feel like I should pop the top anyway just to have a look around and put the voltmeter on the cells again. Or anything else while it's out. I'd even have to think twice before not swapping in a power supply and ECU right now, rather than put this one I know is broken into the car again to run TIS. Only problem is I'd probably get those from my parts car's battery, which still means taking a battery out (save a couple of steps anyway) with the risk that those parts are no good either, with no way of knowing. Crazy stuff, hard decisions, but only because I'm a weak old man.
What makes you think it is a short to ground? If P3030 is similar to P3030 in a Gen 2, I'd be looking for opens in the sensing wires, therefore using a ohmmeter on each send wire and checking for continuity. Don't think I can be much more help, Gen 1's are not my forte.
Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I'm ignorant about electronics and just used that as a general term for "broken." Since all the sensor wires are brand new, part of the new harness, I hoped that eliminated any such issues. But, I'll look over them again. Was hoping someone knew of other places I might have bad wiring inside the battery. Thanks.
Yep, I run Techstream in a Virtualbox VM with no issues. 9 times out of 10 though, I mostly just use Torque Pro and a bluetooth OBD2 adapter.
Yeah, my old ScanGauge works fine for most stuff, and I have a TP/BT setup as well, but neither of those are reading the DTC being thrown by one of my cars. I also need to figure out what's wrong with the HV battery in another one - I'm getting a 3030 from inside the HV battery, but I've replaced the sensor harness and the cells are all charged. Does TP read the voltage for individual modules? SG will, I think, with the right Xprograms, but I don't have room to add any more. I'll look up Virtualbox, thanks.

Description of problem: If panel for a particular resource is already present in alerting dashboard then monitoring-integration won't create a duplicate panel for that resource. While checking duplication monitoring-integration is matching substring also, Because of this any resource_name which match with some other resource_name's substring then the panel is not created for that new resource. (e.g) if panel name is v11 then if new panel name is v1 then v1 is matching with a substring of v11, So it considered as duplicate and alert panel is not created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Create volume with name v11 first and create volume with name v1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Volume_name if matches with existing volume_name substring then alert panel for a new volume is not created. Expected results: Alert dashbaord should have panels for all resources Additional info:
Could you provide more details about: * Is it possible to reproduce this on previously released RHGS WA? * Version where the bug is present. * Where should we look for the panes mentioned in BZ description in grafana exactly?
It can be reproducible in the previous release like 1.6.1-1, Actually, alert panels are hidden for the users, to check the alert dashbaord please sign in with credentials in grafana. Then you can see the two organization: 1. main org 2. Alert dashbaord org So we are using the second organization for raising alerts when threshold breach crosses 75%. For each resource, we are creating a separate alert panel for each resource. So while creating an alert panel we are comparing alert panel resource name with an already present alert panel resource name, problem is if new resource name match with already existing resource names substring then alert panel for new resource is not created. So no utilization alert will be raised for that resource. (e.g) if volume_alert_dashboard have panels for volume V11 then if new volume is created with name V1 then alert panel for V1 is not created because V1 is matching with substring V11. So no utilization alerts raised for V1. To see alert dashbaord: 1. Do sign-in with grafana 2. Then you can see new see a new organization with name Alert dashboard 3. Switch the control to Alert dashboard 4. press Home to see list of alert dashbaords
In version 3.3.1 it can be reproducible
I'm assuming that alert dashboard in grafana is mentioned only as a hint for qe team and this feature is still not supported (as this is not documented, there is no feature BZ for it and my understanding was that this is internal implementation details to support alerts)  see eg. this note from Mrugesh: > Alerts org will contain the panels created for alert callbacks and will be > hidden from the end users. from https://github.com/Tendrl/specifications/issues/191#issuecomment-326197800 Is this correct?
That's correct. But if alert dashboard is not created properly, grafana will not send any alerts to tendrl for any thing related to cpu, memory etc threshold chnages and will not reflect in the alert panel
Seems ok. --> VERIFIED Tested with: tendrl-ansible-1.6.3-4.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-api-1.6.3-3.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-api-httpd-1.6.3-3.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-commons-1.6.3-5.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-grafana-plugins-1.6.3-3.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-grafana-selinux-1.5.4-2.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-monitoring-integration-1.6.3-3.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-node-agent-1.6.3-5.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-notifier-1.6.3-3.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-selinux-1.5.4-2.el7rhgs.noarch tendrl-ui-1.6.3-2.el7rhgs.noarch

title: Choice to vaccinate

text:
Today was not supposed to be that stressful. I decided to work from home so I could more easily sort out my passport application and then later take the boys to their annual pediatrician appointment. The first part of that went smoothly. The rest? Well, I'll just say it shortened my lifespan. By ten years. And that's a conservative estimate.
I managed to muddle through my day, attend my meetings and even get Big Dog and Little Dog to the doctors office on time. This is no mean feat when you have to pick up children in two opposing directions from our house and bring them to a third location about equidistant between the other two pick up points. But I did it. And while I probably should get some kind of "Awesome Time Management and Trip Scheduling" award for it, I know I won't. It's just part of that whole "mom as unsung hero" thing we deal with every day. Even the bulk of the check up went well. The boys listened and followed instructions well. Ok, apart from the eye exam that Little Dog more or less told the nurse was taking too long and refused to participate any longer. I'm not sure how accurate the final assessment was given his attitude about the whole thing, but they didn't refer us to an optometrist, so I think I'll just call it good enough. When we got to the room and the doctor, a resident who was working in the practice that day, came in without our regular doctor, the boys were completely charming and cooperative. I know, it sounds completely unreal, but it happened. I promise.
Then midway through the appointment, Big Dog reminds me that he doesn't like shots and didn't want any. I told him to ask the doctor if there were any vaccinations required today. So he asked, and the doctor told him that he'd need to check, but we began a discussion of why we do vaccinations. The doctor and I both explained that vaccinations help prevent diseases that are way worse than the little stab and that even though no one enjoys vaccinations, they are an essential part of staying healthy. And they bought it. Especially Big Dog who found out a few minutes later that there were no shots due, so he was off the hook until he was 9 or 10. Score! Little Dog was not so lucky. He needed three boosters, but the propaganda campaign paid off. He was willing to get the shots and just wanted to get them done.
We finished the check up, talked to our regular doctor and then the nurse came in. Right before she arrived, Little Dog recanted. He no longer wanted shots. He just wanted to go. I reminded him of the importance of vaccinations and he agreed again, but with much less vigor. So when the nurse came in he climbed into my lap, we rolled up his sleeve and he got a jab. And then the screaming started. He no longer wanted the other shots. He was mad. He was begging with me, "NO, mama, NO!" and I had to hold my baby still while the clumsy nurse stabbed him twice more. It was so bad that Big Dog started crying out of sympathy and as the nurse prepped the third shot he yelled at me, "Mama! Little Dog doesn't want any more. Can't you hear him say it?"
I felt like hell when it was all done, and Little Dog was pissed. He was crying and shouting and telling me he didn't love me anymore. He even hit me then threatened to hit me again "Hard-so you'll cry too!" He was mad. I hadn't listened to him and I even held him firmly in place while the wicked nurse gave him the shots. In his mind, I was the problem. Even knowing that the shots were for his health and well-being didn't help me from feeling like the worst mother in the history of shitty moms. So I did what I do best, I caved and resorted to bribes. We got to the car and between the tears and reprimands from the boys, we agreed to head to Target.
When we got there we headed directly for the toys. On the way, Little Dog passed a rack of swim trunks featuring super heroes and demanded we head back. I, being fully steeped in guilt, did as he asked. We decided against the swim trunks and opted for new Batman t-shirts. When we headed off to the toy aisles, Little Dog clung to the side of the cart, holding on with one hand, his feet on the lower bar, the other hand whacking at the clothing racks. Yes, I know this is unsafe. Trust me, I know. After asking him to stop, he looked at me, glared, then wound up to give the rack one more monumental whack! And when he did, he had wound up so much, his other hand lost its grip and he fell, right off the cart and bashed his head on the corner of a clothing shelf foot. It was immediately clear he was injured. I swooped in and checked his scalp for a cut, I kissed and soothed him and I thought we were clear and counted us very very lucky. This was apparently a bit premature, a few minutes later he complained that something was hurting his ear and when I looked, his perfect little ear was bloody, purple and bloated.
I told the boys we needed to get Little Dog to the doctor to have his ear looked at. The screaming was almost instantaneous. Little Dog began howling, LOUDLY, that he did not like the doctor and he did not want another shot. When I told them we'd get the presents later, all hell broke loose so I ended up just rushing through the nearest check out lane to quickly buy the toys and get back to the car. Naturally this had to happen at rush hour, so the trip across town that usually takes 15 minutes took more than 30, and as I drove, Little Dog began to nod off in the car. Now I know precious little about head injuries, but I do know that you are supposed to watch out for kids falling asleep after a blow to their head. I kept telling him to stay awake and he kept telling me "I was just tired!" or "I was just being quiet. I like to be quiet!"
Finally we arrived at the ER at Children's Hospital and got checked in, and in the way of all injured children, he immediately began acting perfectly well and not at all like the cranky, sleepy, seriously injured kid I had rushed across town.
3 hours, 5 doctors and at least one Disney movie on the in room TV later, we were headed home. Mr. Dog joined us and we had waited out the observation period together. In the end, yes, he's fine. His ear, while swollen and purple, did not need stitches and the bruise did not need to be drained. In fact, he is complaining more about his arms being sore from the shots than he is about his ear. But while he may be perfectly fine, requiring only a check in with his primary doctor in a week to ensure things are healing up ok, I am now completely emotionally drained. I believe I require extensive wine therapy to recover. In fact, I'm working on that right now.
On a side note, a huge shout out to Children's Hospital. If your kid is hurt, sick or needs care, this is the place to go. Not only do they have top notch doctors for your child, they are damn nice to a mom who feels frazzled and guilty and weepy watching her boy suffer an improbable injury.

title: Loveless

text:
On February 16, 2018, the film by Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev “Loveless” will be released in American cinemas. A week ago in Los Angeles, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nomination of this film for an Oscar in the category “Best Foreign Language Film”. The world premiere of this film took place in 2017 as part of the competition program of the 70th Cannes Film Festival, where the film was awarded the Jury Prize, the third most important award after the “Golden Palm” and the Grand Prix, awarded to films in the main competition.
The plot of the film “Loveless” centers on the difficult story of a divorce of a modern Moscow couple and the experiences of their twelve-year-old son. The topic is relevant and understandable to people in any country in the world. A typical, completely everyday story. The first films of the film introduce us to twelve-year-old Lesha (played by the talented Matvey Novikov), lazily dragging himself home from school past the roots of an uprooted tree, past a river, past a barrier tape dusted with autumn leaves. At home, his parents, who are always arguing, are waiting for him. They are getting divorced, selling their apartment and thinking only about themselves. Zhenya (actress Maryana Spivak) already has a wealthy fiancé (Andris Keish), who is much older than her. Boris (played by Alexey Rogozin) also has everything ready for a new family – his pregnant girlfriend is waiting for him. But they cannot yet decide what to do with their child. Neither the mother nor the father want to keep him with them. Alyosha hears his parents talking about how no one needs him. He is alone, in a dark room, bursting into tears and screaming silently. This scene cannot leave anyone indifferent. Dislike. Dislike only gives birth to dislike.
Alyosha decides to leave home forever. The next morning he goes to school and does not return home. And for almost two days, none of his relatives noticed his disappearance, until the school called that the boy was not in class. The image of an unhappy mother whose son has disappeared does not evoke compassion.
Zhenya, who did not receive maternal love in childhood, married “on impulse”, is heartless towards her son and husband. She throws all her hatred at Alyosha, whom she never loved. And Boris is a match for her. He takes the news of his son’s disappearance completely calmly and says that nothing terrible could have happened. Despite their egoism and vanity, these two are surrounded by normal people who can truly love and help each other. This is a squad of volunteers who do everything to save the boy.
The director’s work and incredible attention to detail are admirable, because it is the details that create the atmosphere of the film and determine its acceptance (or rejection) by the viewer. Andrey Zvyagintsev’s interesting move is also that the decision about what happened to Alyosha is entirely left to the viewer’s judgment. We only know that two years later, both heartless parents, who gave each other and their child “no love”, continue to live their lives as if nothing had changed…
We are sure that each of us will have his own vision of this film. For our part, we definitely recommend watching “Loveless”.

The Times: Instability will spread until the State gets its act together
Protesting communities ask why others are benefiting from economic growth and they are not
GOVERNMENT fears of more protests over lack of service delivery in the country are fast becoming a reality.
In recent weeks, there has been a growing number of angry protests by residents over poor service delivery including housing.
The minister of housing, Lindiwe Sisulu, told the ANC’s national executive committee in January that South Africa was facing “greater instability” over slow service delivery in the run-up to the 2009 elections. Sisulu said that if people’s expectations were not met, protests could increase and become more violent.
Last week, ANC councillor Morris Mokoena died at the hands of a mob protesting over housing in Deneysville in the Free State. The protest became violent after the crowd set fire to property and was shot at by cops.
Other violent protests broke out in Wolmaransstad, Vlakfontein, Durban Deep, Mamelodi, QwaQwa, Kimberley, Lenasia and the Winnie Mandela informal settlement near Tembisa.
Political analysts have urged the government to urgently address the matter.
Aubrey Matshiqi, a political analyst from the Centre for Policy Studies, said the protests could spread to other areas.
Matshiqi said: “These communities (protesting) look at other communities that are benefiting from economic growth and ask why they are not benefiting.
‘‘The protests are driven by the reality or the perception of poor service delivery,” he said.
“If the ANC government does not deliver on what it has promised, the situation could get worse.”
Tony Manning, a writer and independent consultant on strategy, said slow service delivery could no longer be ignored and said the government needed to address these issues, especially housing.
Matshiqi said the ANC was running the risk of losing voters in the 2009 elections.
The protests highlight the emergence of social movements that are not necessarily aligned to the ANC.
The DA said that “reckless election promises” could be blamed for the spate of unrest.
DA MP Kate Lorimer said: “As much as we may condemn the violence, we must also understand why it is happening.”
Lorimer said unrealistic housing targets had exacerbated the problem.
“The ANC insists on perpetuating the idea that by 2014, all informal settlements in the country will have been eradicated. What nonsense!’’
Lorimer said: ‘‘In Gauteng, we have a backlog of over 600,000 housing units yet Gauteng housing is building fewer than 50,000 units a year.”

title: Absolute scanner as1 xl

text:
The AS1-XL boasts an extra-wide scan line of 600 millimetres at standoff distance. This allows it to make light work of large surfaces, with far fewer scan passes required across the part.
Under handheld operation, that increases operator speed and reduces fatigue. For automated tasks, that means less complex robot path planning together with faster measurement process time.
The AS1-XL boasts a unsurpassed measurement standoff distance of 700 millimetres, with a working range of plus-or-minus 300 millimetres either side. That means reliable inspection is possible at up to a full metre from the 3D scanner.A key benefit of that huge standoff is inspection within deep cavities and other hidden areas where line-of-sight to the laser tracker is not possible. And when it comes to automated inspection systems, the large standoff of the AS1-XL makes it simple to program robot pathways that all but guarantee the avoidance of collision events.
The AS1-XL is the latest Hexagon 3D laser scanner to be built on a platform of SHINE technology – proprietary algorithms that deliver incredibly clean, accurate and high-quality data using the scanner’s default settings selections.SHINE – Systematic High-Intelligence Noise Elimination – is the key to the high performance delivered by the latest generation of Hexagon 3D scanners, which also include the Absolute Scanner AS1 and the HP-L-10.10.
Even on challenging surface types and finishes, SHINE delivers unmatched data quality, and now, with the AS1-XL, that performance is available in a device dedicated to large-surface area inspection.
Like the Absolute Scanner AS1, the AS1-XL has a modular cross-platform design that makes it compatible for use with both our Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 laser tracker systems and our Absolute Arm 7-Axis portable measuring arms.And that interoperability is near instantaneous – an AS1 or AS1-XL scanner unit can be dismounted and moved between referencing systems with just the flick of a switch, with no alignment required upon remounting.
This also makes it easy for users to switch between the AS1 and AS1-XL as required, covering both high-definition feature measurement and high-speed surface inspection at peak efficiency within the same measurement session.
Features and benefits
Extra-wide scan line
Never-before-seen measurement scan-line width of up to 600 millimetres makes the full digitisation of large surfaces faster and easier than ever before.
Unprecedented measurement stand-off of up to 1000 millimetres delivers excellent access to hard-to-reach hidden measurement areas, opening up a new world of laser scanner applications that were previously out of reach.
Low noise, big data
Up to 1.2 million points per second of high-quality measurement data, even when scanning shiny materials that often require spray with other scanners.
Digitise large surfaces quickly with data collected at 300 lines per second, with no need to reduce laser line width or point spacing.
With accuracy retained to within 150 microns, the AS1-XL is the perfect tool for digitising the larger, less complex surfaces that would typically demand infeasible measurement process times for a laser scanner.
The advanced algorithms of our SHINE technology allow you to digitise almost any surface type with the default exposure settings, from glossy black plastic automotive body parts to moulded carbon-fibre components, making high-quality measurement easier than ever with no high-level training required and operator variability eliminated.
Switching between measurement profiles and executing of macros and other software functions is fast and easy direct from the scanner with the AP21’s programmable Quick Access buttons and the Absolute Arm’s OLED touch screen wrist display.
Weighing in at just 460-grams, the AS1-XL is light and easy to move, minimising the user fatigue that is one of the most common causes of inaccurate and unreliable measurement results.
Lightweight design of the scanner carries through to the laser tracker controller, which can be mounted directly on the tracker stand.
A laser-projected range finder helps users measure more accurately and efficiently by helping ensure the scanner is positioned correctly relative to the part being measured.
A direct digital input/output function built into the scanner controller allows robot movement and scanning tasks to be managed without a dedicated automation interface for laser tracker automation setups.
The modular concept of the AS1 allows for quick and easy serviceability, as well as device sharing between measurement teams and locations.
Fit the AS1-XL to a handheld Absolute Positioner AP21 unit to measure over large volumes with an Absolute Tracker, or switch to an Absolute Arm 7-Axis for smaller-scale measurement, with no realignment required when switching.
The full scanning system accuracy of the AS1-XL and Absolute Arm 7-Axis system is supplied certified according to ISO 10360-8 Annex D, while an AS1-XL with AP21 unit is specified in line with ISO 10360-10.

Comprehensive Care for Concussions is Now Available
Back to physical health resource hub
Lexi Riley-DiPaolo was 11-years-old when she suffered her first concussion playing football. She had symptoms for six months and spent a lot of time in a dark room trying to recover. Later that year, she suffered another concussion during a triathlon. Lexi was then diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and her symptoms were monitored but not treated. Her headaches and dizziness subsided, so she resumed athletic activities.
During a swim meet a few years later, Lexi was accidentally kicked in the forehead during warm-ups. This concussion sent her to Mayo Clinic. At the time, there wasn’t a comprehensive concussion clinic in Jacksonville to meet all of Lexi’s needs. After enduring awful and debilitating headaches for six months, her family decided to take her to a sports medicine concussion program in Pennsylvania.
“As a parent, it’s a very lonely, isolating situation that doesn’t resolve quickly,” said Lexi’s mom Sara.
When Lexi and her family returned to Jacksonville, she started physical therapy with Nata Salvatori PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, FAAOMPT at Brooks Rehabilitation. Nata worked with Lexi for several months to help her return to sports. It was Lexi’s complicated case that inspired Nata to create a comprehensive concussion program here in Jacksonville.
“After extensive research on the components of a comprehensive concussion program, I realized Brooks already had most of the pieces in place. I pursued additional training in concussion management and began putting a formal process in place with other members of our team,” said Nata.
The Brooks Concussion Program provides a multidisciplinary approach for improving patient outcomes and is unique to Northeast Florida. Nata’s specialty includes individualized care and creating a patient-centered methodology.
Multidisciplinary team services include physician evaluations, neuropsychological consultations and testing, equipment adaptation for daily living activities including work and school activities, as well as treatment for common post-concussion symptoms such as and headaches. The professional team includes a PM&R physician, adult and pediatric neuropsychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, athletic trainers, optometrists, and a school re-entry team.
In Lexi’s case, Nata and Sara worked with the school system to make adjustments for Lexi. She was not sleeping well, had issues with certain lighting situations and needed extra time on exams to process information.
“Being able to walk into one place and have all our needs covered is life-altering. It takes a lot to really understand what is going on with a concussion,” said Sara.
The Brooks Concussion Program team actively serves the community by collaborating with primary care physicians, pediatricians, sports medicine doctors, schools coaches, athletic trainers, and parents.
If you think you or someone you love is suffering from the effects of a concussion, contact us at 904-419-6191.


title: Selling during a crisis

text:
It’s going to be a challenging time for sales teams in the UK and across the world with huge uncertainty over what is coming next. As sales start to drop, businesses typically cut costs, reduce prices and postpone new investments. But even during the toughest circumstances, there is opportunity for growth and for firms to come out far stronger on the other side, especially if they apply revenue intelligence to their data sets.
Revenue Intelligence can now be used to:
Using such techniques can increase win rates by 20%, average deal size by19% and take forecast accuracy over 95%; vital to achieve if you are going to be fighting for your portion of what might be a smaller pie!
IRIS Software Group is one of the UK’s largest private software companies, supplying business critical software and services to more than 100,000 accountancy practices, businesses, charities and public sector organisations. To support ambitious growth plans, IRIS implemented a revenue intelligence platform using behavioural science and AI to identify and promote successful sales activities across all the teams. In turn this has led to much faster sales onboarding, process alignment and empowered them to improve efficiency, productivity and success.
“In order to grow, it’s not uncommon for businesses to crank the handle faster. While short-term gains are possible, there’s a matter of sustainable scale to consider and importantly, the wellbeing of colleagues. Our strategy was to find a platform of tools we could use to support sales teams and existing procedures. One method we were already exploring was the possibility of harnessing AI and behavioural science techniques to identify and promote successful behaviours within teams.” David Turner, Chief Marketing Officer, IRIS Software Group.
EG, part of the LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group, is a trusted source of data and intelligence in the commercial real estate industry. Using revenue intelligence, EG identified key sales behaviours to enable the team to increase win rates. By breaking down the sales cycle from the initial lead through to deal closure, sales managers were able to highlight stages where issues and dropouts were most common. They then used revenue intelligence to incentivise key behaviours that would prevent these issues. The company were able to benchmark successful engagements and develop targets, with results displayed in real time on personalised dashboards.
“We identified an issue with converting leads and engaging with prospects throughout the sales cycle. Integrating revenue intelligence into our CRM has been vital in tackling this; we have been able to pinpoint key behaviours that correlate with greater sales success. In 2021, the average number of these behaviours performed by our salespeople was 3,000. Those who performed more than the average achieved at least 93 per cent of their sales target. This is a clear correlation between the behaviours identified by the revenue intelligence platform and the upskilling of our team to close more deals.” Schuyler Michael, Head of Sales Operations, EG.

D214 twitter breaks down, students riot
January 29, 2015
I’ve never seen people turn their backs on somebody faster than the day District 214’s twitter account announced that school was going to be open the next day.
It’s a prime example of someone being lauded one day and loathed the next. On the night of Jan. 7th, with the weather being the big topic of the day, the district’s twitter account got involved with students begging for a snow day, joking around with them and even putting together memes.
Everyone seemed to love it, and we all loved it more when they announced what we had been expecting all night; school was off for the next day!
I honestly thought that would be the end of it, but things turned around quickly. It was pretty much instantaneous; students started mouthing off at the account the moment the announcement was made that school would be on for Jan. 9.
This pretty much lasted the whole night, and eventually the account just stopped replying.
There was a method to the madness, though, according to Media Manager Jennifer Delgado.
“A lot of [students] were asking [if we would have school] in clever ways, trying to just get information,” Delgado said. “We thought we would respond and also be playful back.”
While she expected to get angry tweets after announcing school for Thursday, she was still caught off guard.
“What surprised us was the sheer volume of negative angry tweets that we saw,” Delgado said. “It seemed we were getting about 100 every second. We couldn’t keep up with all the tweets that we were getting.”
Delgado takes her responsibility seriously.
“Later in the evening, we had posted a message saying something along the lines of ‘we love the banter, but we take this decision seriously,’” Delgado said. “We wanted students to know that we weren’t trying to upset them.”
The thing is that the way the district was running the account had a major influence on how students acted towards the district on Tuesday night and Wednesday. The openness and joking around on Tuesday night may have given a false impression that students’ tweets had an impact on the decision to cancel school on Wednesday. When they announced school was still on for Thursday, students figured “hey, maybe we can change this!” Hence, the outrage towards the account going into Wednesday night.
At the same time, though, some of the students tweeting at the account weren’t exactly using their heads. The kids who were saying “oh no, we don’t need to go to school” were EXACTLY the kids that needed to go to school. I won’t name names (and I really shouldn’t), but some of the students who were tweeting on Wednesday night really need to have a word with their English teachers.
In hindsight, none of this really ended up mattering anyways. With finals right around the corner, missing one day threw us off enough. Missing another would’ve been absolute chaos.
Did we want to be here on Thursday? Not really. Were we better off for being here on Thursday? You bet we were.


title: Optimism for the quality of the harvest 2022

text:
According to the German Wine Institute (DWI), the prospects for a high quality harvest in 2022 are very promising.
This is because a large part of the vineyards in the German wine regions continue to develop quite well despite the extreme drought. The grapes are in good health and so far there have been no major storms. Red wine varieties, in particular, benefit from sunny weather, allowing you to expect full-bodied and coloured red wines. The white wine grapes are already very aromatic and have a moderate acidity.
It is to be expected that the German harvest will develop quite quickly, as the sugar content in the berries will increase rapidly with the dry and sunny weather and many varieties will reach harvest maturity at the same time. The harvest will end with the Riesling, which is expected to be ready to be picked in mid-September.
However, the drought is also a great challenge for winegrowers, as the condition of the vines is very heterogeneous within the regions. While older vineyards are still quite vigorous due to their deep root system, younger vines suffer considerably from the lack of water, especially in light soils that do not retain much water. The ripening of the grapes is also much slower for them. The young plants are watered as much as possible and, in very stressed vineyards, you even have to remove the grapes to protect the vines or, at least, to keep them alive.
Another effect of drought is that the berries are still comparatively small. This leads us to expect rather moderate yields despite the good clusters of vines in general. Moderate rainfall in the coming weeks could still have a positive effect on the harvest, but it would be desirable for it to rain in large quantities during the harvest period.


title: 30 second thoughts volume one

text:
Written and directed by David Baeumler, ’30 Second Thoughts: Volume One’ is an experimental anthology of four micro shorts, each its own miniature world, yet together they create a surreal, intense exploration of modern anxieties and dark tones. Narrated by the ever-engaging Kevin Silva, who also pops up in a role in one of the segments, these bite-sized stories veer from wartime chaos to satirical takes on self-help and societal pressures.
The anthology opens with ‘Attack the System’, a bracing introduction that feels like a fever-dream war commercial. Explosions, atomic bombs, and artillery blast across the screen, fused with fast, jarring cuts and twisted graphics that feel both vintage and surreal. It’s a striking piece, challenging viewers with the idea that “your attackers are your only defense” – a notion as unsettling as it is intriguing.
Next is ‘Zabrinor’, a clever take on the world of pharmaceuticals. Silva’s soothing narration sells “peace of mind” as if it’s as simple as popping a daily tablet. We see him in his sound booth, lending the segment a tongue-in-cheek, behind-the-scenes flair, while Alicia Walker plays the consumer within the commercial itself. The result is oddly calming yet comically dystopian, with a subtle jab at our quick-fix culture.
The third micro short, ‘We Shall Overcoat’, is a visual riot. Styled with a quirky, cartoonish vibe, it plunges into the chaos of revolution and rebellion – an “anarchy in motion” where our narrator debates the color of revolution. Silva’s commentary adds both wit and an almost playful absurdity to the visuals. This short is as offbeat as it is thought-provoking, inviting viewers to ponder the artistry behind the chaos.
Finally, ‘Evil Man’ closes the anthology on a chilling note. Baeumler himself plays a man on the brink of committing a horrific act, depicted with dark shadows and rapid edits that plunge us into his twisted psyche. It’s brief but impactful, a character study in evil that sticks with you.
Bold, strange, and darkly fascinating, ’30 Second Thoughts: Volume One’ is avant-garde filmmaking at its finest – a treat for fans of Baeumler’s daring, cerebral style.

The Legal Aid Society and the New York Civil Liberties Union applauded a lawsuit filed by New York State Attorney General Letitia James – which joins existing litigation brought this past October by Legal Aid and NYCLU – that seeks to address the New York Police Department’s conduct during the demonstrations this past summer protesting the killing of George Floyd and police violence, as reported by the Associated Press.
This past October, Legal Aid and NYCLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of 11 plaintiffs against Mayor Bill de Blasio, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea, Chief of Department Terence Monahan, the City of New York, and several individual police officers for their roles in the indiscriminate brutalizing of peaceful protestors during the protests following the police killing of George Floyd.
The suit addresses the first month of protests between May 28 and June 28, where swarming officers used batons, pepper spray, and other aggressive techniques to retaliate against New Yorkers for showing their support of Black lives and demanding an end to police violence.
The Lawsuit highlights the widespread and widely-publicized instances of indiscriminate force by police officers during the protests in late May and June following the police killing of George Floyd, and claims the mayor and city instituted a de facto policy allowing individual officers to violently target protesters by repeatedly approving forceful deployments and refusing discipline or repercussions for blatant officer violence.
This matter is currently pending before United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
“We hope this will be the beginning of a serious reckoning over police violence and militarized use of force against protesters, especially people of color, and a check on the impunity many officers have come to see as their right,” reads a joint statement from The Legal Aid Society and the New York Civil Liberties Union.

Migrations have been failing every week after upgrading from 4.8.x to 4.11 with an error code 10904.
The exact error is:
Error closing files: Command failed with exit code 10904: C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Database Server\fmsadmin.exe CLOSE _ActiveQueue.fmp12 -y -m Please quit FileMaker immediately for a scheduled update. -u admin -p ******** 10904 (No applicable files for this operation)
The files eventually do close, but OttoFMS has already given up. This server is under heavy use; it’s not uncommon to have up to 100 connected users during the scheduled migration, so it takes a long time for them to close out. If I rerun the migration immediately after the error it works fine each time. Is there an option somewhere to allow extra time for the files to close?
Wow that is a weird one.
I have never seen Please quit FileMaker immediately for a scheduled update
Not sure where that comes from.
But I do think we are giving up to soon on closing files. We’ll address that next week.
Here is what I would do. Build a head of time. This should probably be your default mode on any large migrations, it’s a better workflow
Run your build, optionally push that build to the Prod servers inbox.
When it’s done, On prod, close the files manually, then kick of a deployment that uses the servers inbox for the source.
The migration will start immediately as the source files are already there.
We’ll see if we can add more wait time, or fix the issue next week.
Hmmm… I could have sworn that OttoFMS had an option to change the default message when closing files, but I can’t find it now. I’m pretty sure that’s a custom message that I came up with. That, or I’m losing my mind.
I confirmed that it’s a custom close message. I forgot that it was in the deployment options in OttoDeploy, not an OttoFMS setting.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.
Thanks for tracking that down

How can I receive CICA compensation for a broken arm?
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, pays compensation to blameless victims of crime. A broken arm often occurs as a result of a violent assault. This might be from the blow itself or trying to avoid a kick or punch and falling to the ground as a result.
Breaks occur to the humerus, which is the bone in your upper arm. The radius or radial bone connects the elbow to the wrist and is on the thumb side. The ulna which also connects the elbow to the wrist and is on the little finger side.
How much compensation can I receive for a broken arm?
The Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme 2012 sets out a list of injuries with specific amounts of compensation for each one. It is called a tariff list, and has about 400 different injuries caused by assaults listed.
Each type of injury, e.g. broken humerus, radius or ulna not only has a specific level of compensation for the injury, it also has different amounts of compensation for the recovery from the injury. Injuries that cause permanent damage will usually pay more compensation, even where the original injury might be considered more minor.
Is it possible to calculate the exact amount of compensation I should receive?
Yes, there is a specific CICA arm injury compensation calculator for the individual injuries. The calculator will clearly show you how much compensation you are entitled to for injuries to your forearm and upper arm.
Can I bring the claim for compensation myself?
Yes, if you are feeling confident you may wish to bring your claim for a broken arm yourself. This website has lots of useful information to help you bring your claim yourself.
Can you act for me to bring my claim?
We would love to help you secure the compensation you deserve. We always do this on a No Win No Fee basis, so you only pay if you are successful. Whilst it is straightforward to see how much compensation you are entitled to for a broken arm, it is harder to make the CICA pay out the compensation.
Why don’t they just pay out once an application is made?
As the CICA is a taxpayer funded government body, it has limited resources. As with most organisations that cost money, the government in their drive for austerity, are looking for ways to reduce the amount it costs. This means they make it harder than ever for you to receive compensation. We have been obtaining compensation for victims of crime, suffering injuries such as broken arms, for over 20 years and have a very good record in obtaining the most compensation in the shortest amount of time. We believe we make a genuine difference.


title: Pandemic moves shoppers online retailers missing out failed deliveries

text:
London, UK - 4 March, 2021 – From browsing to basket, the world of the modern shopper has changed, as have their expectations for delivery, according to today’s 2021 Fixing Failed Deliveries report from GBG, the global specialist in identity data intelligence.
As shoppers were forced online to shop throughout the pandemic, retailers rushed to offer and optimise the customer journey online, which saw the spotlight fall on the defective delivery experience.
The report reveals that 24% of businesses saw more than one in ten orders fail to be delivered at the first attempt and 76% of the consumers surveyed reported at least one late delivery in the past year. Poor address data was central to this issue.
The report surveyed 300 retailers and more than 3,000 consumers to unveil the real impact of delivery in the new world of online retail. It revealed that seven in ten (69%) businesses have seen an increase in their average online order value, since the pandemic hit. Despite this surge in revenue, almost as many businesses (68%) said that failed or late delivery is a “significant cost” to their operation.
Research shows the surge in digital retail sales over the past 12 months is set to continue as consumers opt to shop online rather than head back to the high street. The report unearths the changing consumer journey and the need to deliver the optimal online engagement from browsing to checkout, through to final delivery. Key areas of improvement across the digital shopping experience include:
Of the research, Matthew Furneaux – eCommerce expert and Director, Location Intelligence at GBG, said: “While the high street is set to reopen, there is no doubt that online shopping is here to stay as consumers opt for the convenience of staying home and shopping online. At the same time users are demanding a seamless experience from logging on, to checking out, through to receiving their final delivery, and retailers are missing out by only focusing on the online experience while neglecting the final mile. Brand loyalty is increasingly tied to these touchpoints, as consumers are excited by both their order and its arrival. Businesses need to make sure they’re optimising every stage in the digital journey or run the risk of losing trust, customers, and revenue.”
“As the digital high street becomes increasingly crowded, it will only become more important that retailers have the best data, tech, and people on hand to prevent fulfilment failure and make sure they’re delivering the ultimate online experience to meet demand. By implementing smart technologies like auto-complete and data verification, check out processes are simple and fast, and delivery details are confirmed and accurate to ensure retailers reach every customer, everywhere, the first time around,” concluded Furneaux.
GBG polled 3,000 consumers and 300 businesses about the impact of data quality on the customer journey, and resulting impact on delivery and customer satisfaction. For the full methodology breakdown, refer to page 5 of the Fixing Failed Deliveries report.

Life in the Time of Corona
Pandemic Pen Pals
Mandy Fernandez is a writer, editor and author in Pensacola. She writes creatively and professionally on topics of business, education, arts, health, family life, parenting and natural foods. Her first children’s book, Kazoo Makes The Team, was released in 2016. Learn more at www.writtenbymandy.com
One unexpected, positive thing that has come out of this pandemic has been pen pals for my two children. As the virus surged in mid-July, our family decided to continue staying home to avoid crowds. I looked for ways to enrich my children and allow them to socialize. A friend told me about an online learning site called Outschool. It has classes for families that range from math to science to history and also offers hundreds of unique activities for kids younger than the age of 18 — from art to theater to pop culture. It was there that I discovered a class on letter-writing and pen pals.
I could hardly contain my excitement when both of my daughters agreed to take a pen pal class, the same one at the same time! This was unheard of in our household. My girls are 12 and 8 years old and sometimes act like being around each other is the real virus! Yet they were eager to take a class that could gain them potential friends.
I was ecstatic over their decision. It brought back so many fond memories. I had a pen pal growing up. We wrote letters to each other for three years. My mom was a teacher in Louisiana and learned about a letter-writing program with another teacher in New Jersey. Each of their fifth-grade classes wrote to each other during the course of a school year. That teacher had a daughter who was a year younger than me so we can began writing to each other.
What a joy it was to receive Julie’s letters in the mail. It was as thrilling as receiving Highlights magazines addressed to me. Getting any kind of mail was always a joy. There was only snail mail in the 1980s and early 1990s. Yet even in my college years I continued to write summer letters to a friend who, like me, preferred the slow art of putting pen to paper over sending emails.
My 12-year-old daughter Vivian received limited training from a previous teacher on how to write the parts of a letter, but she never addressed an envelope. My eight-year-old daughter Lana never wrote a “proper” letter, but now knows to include a date, greeting, body, closing and inquiries to her pen pal. She took the tasks seriously as I heard her repeating aloud the instructor’s words for including a “proper salutation and closing remarks.”
This pen pal writing class met three times, one day per week for 45 minutes. The first and second class went over the parts of the letter and included mingling opportunities for each child to get to know one another. My two girls in Pensacola were in the class with a 9-year-old boy living in California, a 9-year-old girl living in Tennessee and a 10-year-old girl living in Peru (Yes, Western South America!). For the Peruvian pen pal, the only option was email since the teacher did not know how long a letter would take to mail. We arranged for email addresses to be exchanged and then letters to be sent via email.
Since the class had an odd number of five participants, Vivian was paired with two pen pals – the Peruvian girl and the girl in Tennessee. Lana was paired with Vincent, the boy in California.
Seeing the excitement of my girls upon receiving letters from their pen pals brought me more happiness than I experienced in months. We never would have taken such a class like this if it weren’t for the pandemic occurring and my need to find creative entertainment.
The class finished in mid-August, but letters are still coming and going. Vincent, the pen pal from California, asked my youngest daughter Lana to join his online book club, and she has. He hosts monthly video chats where a group of children discusses books. They have spoken on the phone too and video chatted with each other on a few occasions.
The teacher gave me each parent’s email address, so I reached out to all them to thank them for bringing my children joy during this weird, uncertain time. Vincent’s mom Brittany was the only parent to write me back. We have since become Facebook friends and exchanged messages and compliments about our children.What joy these special moments are bringing my family! We are grateful for pandemic pen pals. I hope the letters and friendships will continue in post-virus days ahead.

About Paris Arc de Triomphe
This monumental arch, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, is a testament to France's military history and the grandeur of Napoleonic ambition. The Arc de Triomphe, with its colossal size and intricate sculptures, commands attention. Its four massive pillars are adorned with reliefs depicting pivotal moments from the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, such as the Departure of the Volunteers in 1792 and the Battle of Austerlitz. Above, the names of major victories and generals are inscribed, immortalizing their contributions to French history.
Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after his victory at Austerlitz, the Arc de Triomphe was designed by Jean Chalgrin and completed in 1836. It stands as a symbol of national pride and military prowess, celebrating the achievements of the French army. The arch's design draws inspiration from the Roman Arch of Titus, yet its scale and detail reflect the unique spirit of the French Empire. As visitors gaze upon its grandeur, they are reminded of the era when France sought to assert its dominance across Europe.
Marks of Time: Historical Elements
The Arc de Triomphe is not just a monument but a canvas of history. The reliefs on its facades tell stories of heroism and sacrifice, capturing the spirit of an era when France was at the height of its power. The frieze running around the top of the arch depicts soldiers in procession, a tribute to the unity and strength of the French military. Each sculpture and inscription serves as a reminder of the battles fought and the lives lost in the pursuit of glory.
Stories in Stone: Symbolic Features
Notice the intricate carvings that adorn the arch, each telling a story of valor and victory. The most famous relief, La Marseillaise, by François Rude, depicts the French people rallying to defend their nation, led by the allegorical figure of Liberty. This powerful image captures the revolutionary spirit that defined France during this period. The arch itself, with its grand proportions and detailed artistry, stands as a symbol of the enduring legacy of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era.
Living History: Present-Day Significance
Today, the Arc de Triomphe remains a focal point for national celebrations and commemorations. It is the site of the annual Bastille Day military parade and the starting point of the Tour de France. Beneath the arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, honoring those who died in World War I, with an eternal flame that is rekindled every evening. This ongoing tradition connects the past with the present, ensuring that the sacrifices of those who fought for France are never forgotten.
Details That Speak: Architectural Mastery
The architectural design of the Arc de Triomphe is a masterpiece of neoclassical style. Its harmonious proportions and detailed ornamentation reflect the ideals of beauty and order that were central to the neoclassical movement. The arch's height of 50 meters and width of 45 meters make it one of the largest triumphal arches in the world, a fitting tribute to the grandeur of the French Empire. The attention to detail in the sculptures and inscriptions showcases the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who brought this vision to life.
Right Where It Began: Connection to History
The Arc de Triomphe stands at the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly known as Place de l'Étoile, where twelve avenues converge. This location was chosen for its strategic and symbolic significance, serving as a gateway to the city and a focal point for the grand boulevards of Paris. The arch's position at the end of the Champs-Élysées creates a visual axis that connects it to the Louvre and the Tuileries, linking the monument to the heart of Parisian history and culture.

title: Washington gubernatorial debate pits attorney general vs ex sheriff who helped nab serial killer

text:
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington’s longtime attorney general and a former sheriff known for his work hunting down the Green River serial killer are going head-to-head in a debate Wednesday evening as they vie to become the next governor of the Democratic stronghold state, which hasn’t had an open race for its top job in more than a decade.
Bob Ferguson, a Democrat who has been attorney general since 2013, will face ex-sheriff and former U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, a Republican, in Spokane in a debate hosted by the Association of Washington Business and Greater Spokane Inc.
With no Republican having held the governor’s post in nearly 40 years, Reichert faces an uphill battle in November. Ferguson received about 45% of the votes in the August primary to qualify for the general election, compared with about 27% for Reichert. Another Republican in that race, military veteran Semi Bird, got about 11% of the primary vote.
Under the state’s primary system, all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party with the top two finishers advancing to the general election.
Ferguson has been endorsed by state Democratic leaders including Patty Murray, president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate, and Jay Inslee, who is the longest-serving governor in office in the nation and decided not to seek a fourth term.
Reichert, who worked for 33 years at the King County Sheriff’s Office, including two terms in the top post, has been endorsed by dozens of sheriffs. King is the state’s most populous county, home to Seattle.
Reichert was the first county detective assigned to the case of the Green River Killer, named for the waterway where the first of 49 women’s bodies were found in 1982. Gary Ridgway was arrested and convicted in 2003, during Reichert’s second term as sheriff.
Public safety has been a key issue for both Ferguson and Reichert as the state experiences a rise in violent crime and has ranked last in the nation in law enforcement officers per capita for more than 12 years running, according to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police chiefs. Each candidate has vowed to hire more police.
Ferguson’s plan includes directing $100 million to help local jurisdictions bring more officers on board, including through hiring bonuses. Reichert has said elected officials need to show they support law enforcement, including by protecting qualified immunity laws, in order to recruit more officers.

Atoms and Touching: A Closer Look
From the sturdiest metals to the lightest clouds, atoms are the building blocks of everything we see. But do these minuscule particles ever truly touch each other? The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might think.
Defining “Touching” on an Atomic Scale
To understand if atoms touch, we must first define what it means for particles to touch at such a tiny scale. According to Christopher Baird, an associate professor of physics, the traditional concept of touching—where two objects’ outer surfaces align—doesn’t quite apply to atoms. Atoms lack well-defined boundaries, making the notion of physical contact more nuanced.
An atom isn’t a singular entity but rather a complex structure composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles interact in unique ways, forming the basis of all matter. The cloud of electrons surrounding an atom further complicates the idea of touching, as there isn’t a clear boundary where one atom ends and another begins.
How Atoms “Touch” Through Chemical Bonds
While atoms may not touch in the conventional sense, they can interact through the overlap of their electron clouds. This interaction can lead to the formation of chemical bonds, triggering various physical and chemical effects. Baird suggests that this electron cloud overlap is a crucial aspect of atomic touching, as it initiates the processes that give rise to the material world around us.
Whether through electromagnetism, gravity, or quantum mechanics, atoms can come into contact in different ways. In liquid and solid states, touching often occurs through the creation of chemical bonds, while gases interact by bouncing off each other. High-speed collisions, as seen in particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, can also result in atomic touching, leading to the creation of new subatomic particles.
The Significance of Atomic Touching in Our World
While atoms may not touch in the conventional sense, their interactions through chemical bonds are what hold our world together. From the structure of a chair to the formation of rocks, the touching of atoms is fundamental to material existence. Without these atomic interactions, essential processes like chemical reactions, vibrations, and heat transfer would not occur.
In the grand tapestry of the universe, atomic touching plays a vital role in shaping the world we inhabit. So, the next time you marvel at the solidity of a rock or the comfort of a chair, remember that it’s the unseen dance of atoms coming together that makes it all possible.


title: Xiaomi fixes the security flaws in its mobile payment mechanism

text:
Check Point Research (CPR) recognized the security flaws in Xiaomi’s mobile payment mechanism. The vulnerabilities were in Xiaomi’s Trusted Environment, which is reliable for storing and processing sensitive data such as keys and passwords. CPR responsibly revealed its findings to Xiaomi, which acknowledged and fixed the security flaws.
Over 1 billion users could have been affected, an attacker could steal private keys used to sign Wechat Pay control and payment packages. In the most ominous case, an unprivileged Android app could have created and signed a fake payment package. The devices studied by CPR were powered by MediaTek chips.
CPR main findings
Entrusted apps on Xiaomi phone can be downgraded
Xiaomi can embed and sign their own entrusted applications. CPR findings show that an attacker can reposition an old version of a trusted app to the device and use it to overwrite the new app file. Therefore, an attacker can bypass security fixes made by Xiaomi or MediaTek in trusted apps by downgrading them to unpatched versions. CPR found several vulnerabilities in the thhadmin trusted app, which is responsible for security management that could be exploited to leak stored keys or to execute code in the context of the app and then practically perform malicious forged actions.
Embedded mobile payment framework compromised.
Xiaomi devices have an embedded mobile payment framework named Tencent Soter that provides an API for third-party Android applications to integrate the payment capabilities. Its primary function is to provide the ability to verify payment packages transferred between a mobile application and a remote backend server which are essentially the security and safety we all count on when we perform mobile payments.
According to Tencent, hundreds of millions of Android devices support Tencent soter.
The security flaws CPR found, which Xiaomi assigned CVE-2020-14125, ultimately compromised the Tencent soter platform, allowing an unauthorized user to sign fake payment packages.
Two Attack Paths
CPR discovered two ways to attack the trusted code:
1. From an unprivileged Android app: The user installs a malicious application and launches it. The app extracts the keys and sends a fake payment packet to steal the money.
2. If the attacker has the target devices in their hands: The attacker rootes the device, then downgrades the trust environment and then runs the code to create a fake payment package without an application.
Slava Makkaveev, Security Researcher at Check Point, said, “We discovered a set of vulnerabilities that could allow forging of payment packages or disabling the payment system directly from an unprivileged Android application. We were able to hack into WeChat Pay and implemented a fully worked proof of concept. Our study marks the first time Xiaomi’s trusted applications are being reviewed for security issues. We immediately disclosed our findings to Xiaomi, who worked swiftly to issue a fix. Our message to the public is to constantly make sure your phones are updated to the latest version provided by the manufacturer. If even mobile payments are not secure, then what is?”

There are immediate care actions that the operator will ask you to do. Simply follow them to decrease the chances of the individual having more considerable damage in his body.
While waiting for the ambulance, do not let the person sleep. Ask him to stay awake and do everything you can to prevent sleeping. Talk to him and positively reassure him that he will get the proper treatment he needs. Do not be put negative thoughts in his mind. No need to give him food and water as well as it may hinder the emergency treatment the paramedic may provide. If you think medicine will be helpful in this situation, you are definitely wrong. It may just worsen the case so do not give him his prescription during the situation. Be patient while waiting. It may take only 3 to 10 minutes before help arrives. The person who is having a stroke needs to ride the ambulance to get the care that he needs before proceeding to the hospital.
After all of the treatment done in the hospital, the person who had a stroke may now live his life again. Although there may be some complications still, what he can do is to attend neurology services. In St. George, they offer the best care with the most experienced specialist. Life will still go on for him. Endure this as it is only a trial, and he can overcome this with the proper actions to take.
