title: Roomeditorapp for revit 2014 on github

text:
I discussed my Revit add-in for my cloud-based, real-time, round-trip, 2D Revit model editing application on any mobile device in depth last spring, with the last update on its implementation status published back in May.
Even at that time, since I was mainly concentrating on the exciting cloud aspects of the application, I had added quite a bit of functionality to the Revit add-in that I never got around to documenting, such as
- External application
- Automatic immediate BIM update from cloud database
- Subscription toggle button
The various aspects that I did already discuss are listed in The Building Coder Desktop category.
I now really have to get going with the preparation of my AU presentations, and one of the unavoidable steps is migrating this application to Revit 2014, which is what I discuss here and now.
Clone and Compile DreamSeat
One of the prerequisites for interacting with the cloud database is obviously uploading and querying of its data.
I use CouchDB as the cloud database and the DreamSeat .NET library to access it from my C# Revit add-in.
To create the library for my add-in to reference, I cloned the DreamSeat GitHub repository to my local system:
git clone https://github.com/vdaron/DreamSeat
Since it was last built using a newer version of Visual Studio, I had to edit the two first lines in the DreamSeat.sln solution file to be able to use Visual Studio 2010 instead. I simply changed them to read:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00 # Visual Studio 2010
No other changes required, the library compiled, and I can add a reference to it to my Revit add-in project.
RoomEditorApp Migration from Revit 2013 to Revit 2014
I created a new Visual Studio solution for a new Revit add-in named RoomEditorApp and copied the code from my old Revit 2013 GetLoops add-in into it.
After the flat migration, the compilation completes and just reports 16 obsolete API usage warnings, which seems pretty good.
I easily fixed all the warnings, as described in numerous previous discussions, and published version 2014.0.0.10 compiling with zero errors and warnings.
Oops, I also need to change my namespace from GetLoops to RoomEditorApp. This became obvious as soon as I attempted to load the external application in Revit, since it complained about the missing RoomEditorApp.App specified in the add-in manifest, which was still named GetLoops.App. The namespace is correctly specified in version 2014.0.0.11.
Oops again; it next complained on loading into Revit about lacking the embedded icon resources. Luckily, my external application includes assertions that ensure that the required resources are actually found, so I noticed what the problem was. Here is finally version 2014.0.0.12 with icons added and displaying the user interface successfully in Revit 2014:
For testing purposes, I prefer a local installation of my database in addition to the cloud-based one.
That obviously also requires a local installation of the CouchDB database system itself as well.
To create that, simply go to Apache CouchDB, click on 'download', install, and restart the computer.
I install it as a service and later go into the computer management and set the service to be started manually instead of automatically, so it is only available when actually needed.
Replicate the Database
Since I already have my cloud-based application up and running on the Iris Couch cloud CouchDB server from my last experiments, I can simply replicate that.
The database base URL is jt.iriscouch.com/roomedit, whereas the entry point to access and test it is its main application file index.html at jt.iriscouch.com/roomedit/_design/roomedit/index.html.
I can replicate it using the CouchDB Futon interface on my local machine installation, replicating to a new local database named 'roomedit' from the cloud-based database instance:
I am up and running now in Windows 7 and Revit 2014, as opposed to my rather obsolete previous installation based on Windows XP and Revit 2013.
I still have a lot of undocumented features that I would love to discuss here in the Revit side of things.
As said, I need to prepare my AU presentation and handout on this topic.
Whereas the Tech Summit presentation that I worked on in the spring focused heavily on the cloud aspects, the AU presentation will be significantly longer and cover both the cloud database and the Revit add-in features.
Therefore, I can document the missing bits and pieces in the coming weeks as I get my AU material ready, with the deadline for handing in the material on November 15 looming on the horizon.

I have been keeping commonplace books for years. At first, they were only reading journals—quotes, further books to read, thoughts on the books I read, words to define and words I loved. They have expanded to true commonplace books, including podcast research, writing research, occasional notes on dreams, and sketches. Going to start sharing them as well.
Book that helped and inspired me is Draw Your Day: An Inspiring Guide to Keeping a Sketch Journal by Samantha Dion Baker.
The book I am referring to is The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking. I had assumed this was a gimmicky book, but it is sweet and comforting and deep.
What inspired this was that compromised immunity caused me, like it does, to get sick because I went to the doctor. Waiting rooms were germ-bombs before Covid disinfections and forced spacing. The reason I wrote “stress put me to bed” was that I had physical therapy appointments, therapy appointments, medical appointments, I was wearing a heart monitor (the old-school kind with tentacles, so I had trouble getting comfortable), I was dealing with another denial from Social Security Disability (the last huge denial before I was awarded it), and the holidays. Not a good month. Writing and drawing helped. Still does.
The quote, in case you can’t read my cursive:
Hygge is about giving your responsible, stressed-out achiever adult a break. Relax. Just for a little while. It is about experiencing happiness in simple pleasures and knowing that everything is going to be okay.
It’s about living in the now while recognizing and appreciating all five senses and your tribe, the very special people in your life. And yourself. Time to reread, I think.

title: How to avoid 3 common mortgage scams

text:
There are scams out there for everything, and obtaining a mortgage is no exception. While home buying and ownership is typically a source of pride and happiness, unscrupulous individuals are always coming up with schemes to con you out of your hard-earned money and property. To avoid falling into a mortgage scam, here are some of the most common ones to look out for.
- Wire Fraud
Some scammers will gain access to information on customers who are in the middle of a mortgage transaction. They will then create a very convincing email, text, or phone call, claiming to be someone from the title or escrow company giving you instructions on where to wire your escrow funds. They may go so far as to set up fake websites or make the telephone number or business logo almost identical to the real thing. Once you wire the money, the criminals withdraw your money in an offshore account and it is gone forever. You can avoid this tragedy by verifying with your lender, using the original contact information they provided. And be leery of any digital requests for changes to the wiring process you have already received directly from your lender. You can call your settlement agent to verify the escrow account number and to immediately confirm the transfer. - Foreclosure Relief
If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments, you may be feeling desperate to save your home. Scammers prey on those emotions, using public records to discover homeowners in pre-foreclosure, and posing as government housing assistance representatives. They promise to reduce your monthly payments if you pay a large, upfront fee. Or they might convince you that if you make your monthly mortgage payments to their company for a year, they will keep you out of foreclosure. In reality, they have no ability to change your mortgage terms. They just take your big chunk of change and head for the hills. You can protect yourself against this scam by going directly to your loan servicer first and asking for a loan modification or forbearance. A company that advises you NOT to talk to your lender is a scammer. You can also find out about more options from a HUD-accredited housing counselor. - Home Title Fraud
This involves a scammer obtaining the title of your property and transferring ownership to their own name. First, they steal your identity and secure as many loans as possible on your home using your existing equity. The criminals pocket all that loan money and soon lenders start sending foreclosure letters to you for all the unpaid mortgages. You can help protect yourself against this terrible injustice by checking your credit report regularly for suspicious activity. Also pay attention to if you do not receive normal mortgage-related bills, like tax, water, or mortgage bills. And third-party identity or title protection companies can also help insure you against these types of losses.
Avoiding common mortgage scams is all about being vigilant with your personal and financial information and verifying the identity of the home loan individuals you work with. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true and double and triple check information before you transfer any money.

Teachers have many options once they receive their degree or certification. They can choose elementary, middle or high school, or a specific subject in which to practice. New teachers, however, don’t always get to pick exactly what they want right off the bat. March teacher of the Month Erica Griswold knew she wanted to work with younger children, graduating with a degree in K-8 elementary education with a special education endorsement. But it was a call from the principal at Vaughn Elementary that would help her to find just the right students to impact.
“An opening had become available in an Options Kindergarten class, and she wanted me to come and observe the class to see if I would be interested,” recalled Erica. “At this time, I had little experience with students having significant special needs.”
At the time, Erica’s background was in resource, and she was unsure if it would be a good fit. But she decided she would come and meet the staff and students.
“Let me tell you, the second I set foot in the classroom I was hooked! The students’ sweet spirits and love for their teachers and school was so very heartwarming, I knew I was where I was supposed to be,” she said. “I absolutely love my job and am so very thankful I was given this opportunity.”
Erica is now in her fourth year, and her special needs students are in kindergarten, first and second grade. Despite their learning challenges, Erica says she has never seen a group of students work harder. Seeing their faces light up when something clicks or they understand a concept is something that brings her great joy.
“Seeing the look of pride and accomplishment on their faces for all of their hard work is worth more than gold!” she said.
As an Options teacher, Erica uses a wide range of techniques and learning tools to impact the many different types of learners that come through her door. She’s seen firsthand that no matter the challenge, any one of her students can achieve success, and pushes them to do their very best each and every day.
“The importance of perseverance, any child is capable of great things if they work hard, so never give up!”
For Erica, one phone call and one classroom visit changed her life. She has truly found her passion and the students she can impact the most. It’s amazing what a simple “Yes” can often lead to.

Middle school fashion is tough enough: it seems like you have to satisfy everyone else’s criteria (school, parents, the other kids); your body is changing every day, so you’re never sure how things will feel or look; and you just want something comfortable & stylish that reflects YOU. Then you discover that your scoliosis has gotten worse, and now you need to wear a Boston brace 20 hours a day to straighten your back. Overnight everything is all wrong: your clothes are all too tight or reveal too much – there’s no overlooking that brace.
Nevertheless, you are brave; you will face this thing head on: you will… GO SHOPPING! Where… you find the jeans are mostly low-cut – without a hipbone to hug, they slide right off the slippery brace. The pants that fit your brace’s large waist sag around its small hips – and at the very bottom, where your own extra-small bottom sits, it looks like you have no bottom at all! Up top is not much better; the brace doesn’t add much girth, but it does stick out, especially when you lean over. Let’s face it, you have weird proportions, new angles, and ready-made is definitely NOT ready for YOU!
This is the dilemma my daughter has been facing this year. Lucky for her, right now is actually a good time, fashion-wise, to wear a brace — tops are longer & billowy; scarves, cardigans & vests are in style. If we could just resolve that problem of her pants sliding off, she could rock a look like nobody’s business. Her luck continues: her mom can sew!
Although I liked the blue & white 80% poly/20% cotton shirting fabric, I thought this top seemed a little bland, so I made good use of some scraps I had from my earlier pajama project (another entry) to trim it. In addition to the making the pocket from these scraps, I embellished the pattern to add the orange fabric at the cuffs and hood edge. These accents draw the eye and give the garment a playful pizazz. A couple of silver & turquoise baubles snipped off some fancy trim I found in my stash added a fun, finishing touch to the hoody ties. The hood and generously relaxed styling go a long way to help to camouflage my daughter’s back brace. This lightweight pullover is a favorite top layer on those spring days that go from cool to warm and back again.

The kingdom eyes 150 million tourists annually by 2030
Cairo: Saudi Arabia plans to convert its historic palaces into tourist sightseeing attractions for visitors as the kingdom is seeking to be a global tourist destination.
The Boutique Group, a subsidiary of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), said it plans to develop three such palaces, turn them into ultra-luxury hotels, and open them for guests next year.
The first group of historic palaces in the plan are Al Hamra Palace in the port city of Jeddah, the Red Palace in Riyadh and Tuwaiq Palace also in the Saudi capital.
The refurbished sites are aimed to be tourist attractions for domestic and international visitors.
Boutique Group, fully owned by PIF, defines itself as a hospitality company that transforms historic palaces into ultra-luxury hotels and promotes Saudi heritage and culture.
The destinations feature art galleries, elegant public spaces and gardens, as well as a variety of restaurants, spaces for exhibitions, and lush green areas adorned with art, sculptures, and fountains, according to Boutique.
Saudi Arabia’s tourism industry has flourished in recent years.
The number of tourists in the kingdom surged to more than 100 million last year.
Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al Khateeb said earlier this year the kingdom’s tourism sector in 2023 fulfilled a target of 100 million tourists including 77 million local visitors and 27 million tourist arrivals.
He cited a strategy charted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman envisaging 150 million tourists annually in the country by the year 2030 including 80 million domestic tourists and 70 foreign million arrivals.
The aim is also to make Saudi Arabia rank among the world’s top 10 tourist attractors.
In recent years, the kingdom has introduced a set of facilities aimed to draw more foreign tourists to the country as part of an ambitious development scheme designed to diversify oil-reliant economy.

title: Delivering on the promise of network function virtualization

text:
People have been talking about software defined networking and its related network function virtualization for so long that it must appear to many organizations that everyone else is doing it. But in reality, there are very few organizations outside of the hyperscalers and big public clouds who have actually implemented SDN and NFV. But that is changing, and it is changing fast because certain network functions that never should have been on CPUs inside of servers whose real purpose is to run applications are offloading these functions to beefed up network interface cards.
It is a classic accelerator model, but with a few twists that are unique to networking and that mirrors the hard work that the hyperscalers and cloud builders did all by their lonesome to make their systems – including compute, storage, and networking – disaggregated, virtualized, and flexible. Now, mirroring a pattern we see all the time at The Next Platform, commercial alternatives to the hardware and system-level code that the hyperscalers and cloud builders developed at great expense and effort have become mature and integrated into a true SDN and NFV stack that can be deployed in commercial settings. And so, the telcos are leading the charge and large enterprises are right on their heels, looking at how they can run their networks more like the Super Eight.
Before the revolution in networking started, everybody bought specialized appliances that performed specific functions, which had their own proprietary software and underlying hardware, often using a mix of different kinds of compute – specialized ASICs mixed with FPGAs and sometimes CPUs – to drive those functions. A network consisted of these things – switches, routers, load balancers, firewalls, wide area network accelerators, content distribution devices, session border controllers, carrier-grade network address translation controllers, various testing and monitoring equipment – and it was very expensive for datacenters and very profitable for suppliers. Which is why it had to change. The hyperscalers and cloud builders pried the lids off these devices, and helped foment revolution by either developing versions of these services that could run on more generic servers, often onto specialized offload engines with CPUs or FPGAs, and they basically virtualized everything they could. Some of this software they created is still proprietary, and some of it has inspired open source projects that the mainstream can take advantage of. But the transition has not been an easy one.
“When software defined everything started happening around 2007, including network function virtualization, everybody said it was the best thing ever,” Kevin Deierling, vice president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies, explains. “Then they went to deploy it and found out that the efficiency is terrible. They wanted all of the cloud-like capabilities that they see with the cloud builders and the hyperscalers – agility and scalability – but could not achieve it themselves. I think what it has taken is the time to do the hardware and software integration that finally puts us at a point that we can deliver commercially what those hyperscalers and cloud builders created themselves and use internally. I think we can finally deliver on the promise of NFV.”
The telecommunications companies and cable operators (it is hard to tell the difference sometimes) are leading the charge, and because they have traditionally just sunk enormous amounts of capital into these appliances and they can’t afford to do that anymore. They also can’t wait to innovate or to drop the cost of their networks and increase their capabilities because they can be displaced by the hyperscalers and cloud builders, or their innovative peers in the telco and cable arena, in a heartbeat. Mainstream enterprises will not be far behind the communications service providers for much the same reason: They can’t spend a fortune on specialized appliances, so they need to avoid vendor lock in, and they need to virtualize the network functions, and they cannot lag their peers or they will lose business.
Here is what the evolution of SDN and by extension NFV looks like over the past decade:
In the beginning, when all servers were bare metal running applications and the network was built from interconnected appliances, all of the cores on a server were available for processing. With the advent of virtualized servers and software defined networking functions, packet and flow processing as well as security functions such as firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, host inspection, and encryption. But that meant all of these network functions were pulled off the appliances and onto the servers.
“This brings flexibility and agility,” says Deierling. “But what happens is that we chew up all of the CPU cores with all of this stuff running in software. This is a great story for Intel because it chews up massive amounts of CPU forwarding packets. You can drive maybe 1 million packets per second, which corresponds roughly to 1 Gb/sec, using two to four CPU cores on a server. What we have seen is that even if you use twelve cores, you can’t reach 30 Gb/sec. And so it really is not a scalable solution, and this is what has blocked the wide scale deployment in telco and enterprise environments. They can’t stand the performance penalty.”
The answer, as we hear so often, is to at first accelerate these functions on the CPUs, and then in many cases boost the performance even further by adopting an offload model that runs the network functions software on adjunct processors in the network interface cards. To be specific, the control plane of the software defined network remains in the controller that companies deploy – VMware’s NSX, Juniper Networks’ Open Contrail, the Nuage Networks controller from Nokia (which is what the telcos use), or the integrated virtual networking in Microsoft’s Windows Server or Red Hat’s Linux stacks – and only the data plane is offloaded from the servers to the network interface cards. These stacks support the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) that was created by Intel to accelerate these functions on the server, but perhaps more importantly, they are also supporting the Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing (ASAP2) offload model put forth by Mellanox in conjunction with its ConnectX and BlueField lines of network interface cards.
“DPDK is an onload technology that Intel came up with, and today we are the manager of this project and we have the highest DPDK performance,” boasts Deierling. “Intel has a lot of good ideas and we like them and use them. This one is a really good idea for Intel because it chews up a lot of CPU, and it uses a polling mechanism so that instead of using interrupts to let you know there are packets, it polls and waits for data to be available. When you poll, you use up 100 percent of the CPU because you are just waiting, but with polling you can respond quicker, you just stay in user space and see that there is a packet available and keep operating on it. DPDK doubles the performance of Open vSwitch in terms of the packet rate, but at the expense of using up the performance of the cores it runs on.”
That is a tradeoff that many organizations will not want to make, considering the cost of a Xeon core these days – somewhere between $200 and $500 per core in the popular SKUs of the current “Skylake” Xeon SP processors at list price.
The performance difference between running Open vSwitch raw on the CPUs, running it on top of DPDK, and running it atop the virtual e-Switch inside of the ASAP2 stack that runs on the Mellanox NICs is dramatic. Take a look:
With four Xeon cores running Open vSwitch on DPDK at 100 percent of CPU capacity, the virtual switch can process 7.6 million packets per second (MPPS), but with the offload model espoused by Mellanox with its ASAP2 approach, all of the packet processing is offloaded to the NIC and the server can now handle 79 MPPS with zero CPU load. There is still processing for the control plane in both scenarios, but for the ASAP2 setup this is relatively low. It comes down to establishing a set of rules governing the control plane interfacing with the SDN controller (whatever one is chosen) and programming the NIC with these rules. This happens at initialization time and then periodically thereafter, but this does not eat much CPU.
To illustrate the value of ASAP2 for telcos, Mellanox teamed up with Nokia’s Nuage Networks and Red Hat to test the native Open vSwitch Virtio stack inside of Enterprise Linux and under the thumb of the Nuage SDN Controller and with the VXLAN Layer 2 overlay for Layer 3 networks added on. This was tested against an Open vSwitch setup that had the Nuage SDN Controller interfacing instead with the offloaded Open vSwitch running on Mellanox NICs on the same Enterprise Linux 7.4 platform. (This also supported VXLAN tunneling.) Here’s the setup:
Here is what the benchmark results show:
You have to be careful analyzing these numbers. The CPU load that you see is predominantly from the monitoring software that is counting how many packets the servers under test can process using Open vSwitch. But the larger point is that the Open vSwitch combination with the Linux Virtio networking tops out with around 30 Gb/sec of virtual switch throughput with a dozen cores assigned to it. Using the same SDN controller on the same server, the ASAP2 setup offloading to Mellanox ConnectX network interface cards can push 94 Gb/sec for large packets and can handle 60 MPPS running the VXLAN overlay.
“We are really accelerating all of this, and we are at the cusp of telcos and enterprises to really start using this in a big way,” Deierling says. “They don’t need to understand all of this technology, but what they do need to understand is that when they turn SDN and NFV on, it doesn’t eat all of their hardware and bring their application performance to a halt.”


title: Untreated sleep apnea can worsen migraines

text:
We’ve seen connections between sleep apnea and an array of conditions, but did you know untreated sleep apnea can actually worsen migraine headaches? It can. Some migraines specialists even believe that most of their patients are not aware that they suffer from sleep breathing disorders—more proof that diagnosis and treatment are key to a leading a healthy life.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs in about 10% of adults and is a condition that causes a temporary cessation of breathing when patients are in a soporific state. The most severe cases result in harsh snoring and gasping for air that may repeatedly interrupt sleep throughout the night. Soft, regular snoring is also a form of sleep apnea that most patients, especially men, are able to live with. And, while women are not as likely to suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, their health tends to be more deeply affected.
Sleep Apnea and Migraines
The most obvious connection between sleep apnea and migraines is related to stress. This is very obvious for patients who suffer from OSA since they wake up frequently throughout the night. Insomnia might also develop, which leads to irritability and ultimately, stress, which is the most common migraine trigger. Sleep apnea can also often be misdiagnosed in migraine patients when physicians might believe that these episodes are causing loss of sleep. However, it is actually the other way around. Sleep apnea takes away quality rest, which is one of the best treatments for chronic migraines. So, if you aren’t getting the sleep you need, then your migraines are only worsening.
While there is no cure for migraines, there is for sleep apnea. Some patients whose airways present an obstruction that can be surgically corrected may be able to find permanent relief through ENT procedures that are not too invasive. Additionally, oral appliance therapy is available to help the sleep apnea patient find relief from their symptoms so that you can get a better night’s sleep once and for all. By treating sleep apnea, you can reduce your risk for stress, lack of sleep and migraines.
Contact Dr. Mayoor Patel at Craniofacial Pain & Dental Sleep Center of Georgia for more information on treatment of sleep apnea and how it can help improve your migraine pain.

title: Manor park

text:
Manor Park has a proud, traditional history, tracing its beginnings to 1913 when the Karori Golf Club was first formed in Wellington City. An equal-opportunity role model from the beginning, club records show that almost half the original 96 members were women.
An eighteen-hole course was in play by 1936, the year Manor Park tasted golfing success when it won the Watt Cup for the first time. The women members were also performing with distinction, winning the Mary Alward Cup on four occasions from 1933 through to 1940. In 1946 the Wellington District Golf Association classified the club as a Major A Club, and accepted a team from Manor Park in the Arthur Duncan Cup Competition, which was won by the club in 1948. A Women's Mid-Week club was affiliated to the Ladies' Golf Union in November 1956. The foundation membership of eight generated so much interest that this was extended to twenty-four within a month.
Since then the club has gone from strength to strength, producing many prestigious players and hosting many National and Provincial golfing events, such as the National Interprovincial Championship, New Zealand Mixed Foursomes Championship and the pre-qualifying rounds for the New Zealand Open Championship.
Manor Park Golf Sanctuary was established in 1913 and currently has around 400 members, most of whom are fairly active, with a wide range of membership options to suit most golfers' pockets and playing frequency.
Manor Park is somewhat unique as it is a golf course and bird-life park and the club holds an internationally recognised sanctuary environmental certification from Audubon International, New York.
It has an 18-hole championship par 71 golf course set in beautiful native bush and wetlands with gently rolling fairways bordered by the Hutt River on the eastern side and the Haywards Stream to the west and is home to 20 different specie of bird. Audubon International's Co-operative Sanctuary Programme strives to achieve compatibility of both the needs of the golfer and the environment in a harmonious and complimentary way.

title: Advanced modeling

Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), one of the world’s leading solar research institutes, has announced a significant breakthrough in solar technology. The institute has confirmed that its new photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module has an efficiency of 80%.
PVT modules are a type of hybrid solar panel that can generate both electricity and heat simultaneously. This technology is gaining popularity because it can produce more energy per unit area than traditional solar panels. However, PVT modules have not been as efficient as their traditional counterparts. This breakthrough from Fraunhofer ISE could change that.
The new PVT module from Fraunhofer ISE combines a photovoltaic cell with a thermal absorber. The photovoltaic cell converts sunlight into electricity, while the thermal absorber collects the heat from the sun. The module also has a heat exchanger that transfers the collected heat to a hot water storage tank.
According to Dr. Harry Wirth, Division Director of Photovoltaic Modules, Systems and Reliability at Fraunhofer ISE, “Our new PVT module achieves an efficiency of 80%. This is a significant improvement over previous PVT modules, which typically have an efficiency of around 50%.”
Dr. Wirth also highlighted the benefits of the new technology, saying “The higher efficiency of our PVT module means that it can produce more energy per unit area. This makes it particularly well-suited for applications where space is limited, such as on rooftops or in urban areas.”
The Fraunhofer ISE team achieved this breakthrough by optimizing the design of the PVT module. They used advanced modeling and simulation techniques to study the behavior of the module under different conditions. This allowed them to identify the optimal design parameters that would maximize the module’s efficiency.
This breakthrough from Fraunhofer ISE could have significant implications for the solar industry. PVT modules are becoming increasingly popular, and this breakthrough could accelerate their adoption. It could also lead to the development of more efficient PVT modules in the future.
The Fraunhofer ISE team is now working to commercialize the new PVT module. They are partnering with companies in the solar industry to bring the technology to market. Dr. Wirth said, “We believe that our new PVT module has the potential to revolutionize the way we generate and use energy. We are excited to see where this technology will take us in the future.”
The development of this new PVT module was supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy as part of the research project “SolSpaces.” The project aimed to develop innovative energy systems for buildings.

Breastfeeding & Dental Work
If you’re a new mom or about to be one, you’re likely already used to putting your needs second to the needs of this beautiful new little person in your life – but maintaining good oral hygiene is still important for keeping you and your baby in tiptop shape.
If something happens and you need dental work, it shouldn’t prevent you from breastfeeding regularly or from seeking the treatment you need. Lexington dentist Dr. Alisha Patel can explain how prioritizing your own health needs is safe and important during this stage of a woman’s life.
Dental Procedures Safe for Breastfeeding
You shouldn’t be surprised to hear that regular brushing and flossing are safe for breastfeeding mothers. In fact, it’s probably never felt more luxurious! Especially as you’re likely eating everything in sight (and perhaps indulging in sweet treats, too), it’s a good idea to keep those pearly whites as clean and healthy as possible.
We know how difficult it is to take care of yourself with a new baby, but you deserve to be healthy, and a healthy mom is a better mom. Proactive measures are protective and important as your body goes through major hormonal changes. Not to mention, what mom has time for a lengthy dental procedure? Be proactive about your dental health right now to prevent complications later.
If you are a breastfeeding mother in need of dental work, you’ll be happy to know most procedures won’t affect your milk or your baby. You will only need to pause breastfeeding for the short duration of your dental visits, and the following dental treatments are still safe while breastfeeding:
Dental Drugs Safe for Breastfeeding
Your body does an excellent job of processing medicine and other substances before they get to the baby via your milk, and the old practice of pump-and-dump is rarely recommended anymore. Most effects of drugs used in dentistry should wear off as soon as your procedure is over anyway, and you can be back to nursing your bub as soon as you’re home. The following drugs common in dental work are all safe for breastfeeding mothers:
- Local anesthetic
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- General anesthesia
Dr. Thomas Hale’s book “Medication and Mother’s Milk” is a great resource for more information on drug safety while breastfeeding. You should always share your full health history with your dentist and get your own pediatrician’s approval before receiving any dental treatment. Most dental work is totally compatible with a breastfeeding lifestyle. In fact, relaxing in the dentist’s chair may be the most quality alone time you get all week!
Just remember, taking care of your own dental needs is essential for the overall health of you and your baby. Contact us today to make an appointment for any regular cleanings or special dental treatment you need.

Children’s Toys and Sport Gear
Over the years toys tend to pile up and take over the house, eating up space without really being used. Even if you did your homework and cleared some toys every year during Spring cleaning, there are probably more than your child really plays with. So, before you start packing the toys, you can sit with your kids and decide what to keep. This way, moving out can turn into a great lesson of organisation and responsibility for your children. Of course, if there are some particularly special toys that your kids love, you can keep them, but most of the worn-out sports equipment and old toys can go, freeing space in your car or move out vehicle.

Gadgets and Appliances
Throwing expensive and necessary items might sound crazy at first, but if you think of it, it makes a lot of sense to leave behind some of your appliances and gadgets. Most washers, dryers, and fridges nowadays have a lifespan of around ten years. So if your appliances are about this old, then you will probably be better off without them. List them for sale or donate them and invest in new ones for your new home. One of the benefits of leaving your old appliances when relocating is that you will save yourself a lot of troubles packing them. Not to mention, that these items take a lot of space and you can actually save some money by getting rid of them and renting a smaller vehicle to move your belongings to your next home.

Moving out can be an expensive and time-consuming experience, especially if you don’t manage to recover your deposit. One of the best ways to ensure you are getting this money back is to leave your old rental in a pristine condition. Organise the damaged or broken items to be fixed and replaced and whatever you do, don’t skip the thorough move-out cleaning before you handle the keys to your landlord. This way you will be able to obtain your deposit and invest it in moving out and furnishing your new place.

Chicken & Halloumi Stack
Great for a weekend brunch, we've been known to make this stack without the chicken and make this a great vegetarian dish too. Our Smoked Chilli Dressing makes the perfect marinade for the chicken (or halloumi, if taking the veggie option) and we've collaborated with The Chilli Jam Man to make a dressing with the perfect heat level for you chilli lovers out there!
4 tbsp Smoked Chilli Dressing
A drizzle of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
2 Portobello mushrooms
1 avocado peeled, stoned and sliced 250g (1 pack)
Halloumi cheese, sliced
Pre heat the oven to 200oC / Fan 180oC / Gas Mark 6.
Rub the chicken breasts with the Smoked Chilli Dressing and leave in a dish to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Drizzle the Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil over the mushrooms and place in the oven to bake. Remove the mushrooms from the oven when cooked and keep them warm.
Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan on the hob, when hot remove the chicken from the dish, place in the pan with any remaining marinade and cook for a few minutes before turning, allowing the Smoked Chilli Dressing to caramelise onto the meat. If needed, drizzle a little Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil into the pan to aid cooking.
When the chicken is close to being cooked through, add the Halloumi slices to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Make sure the Halloumi is heated through, but be careful not to overcook it.
When these ingredients are cooked through, remove them from the pan and slice the chicken. Then slice the muffin in half and toast each piece on both sides. Start your stack with a piece of toasted muffin, then the mushroom, avocado, Halloumi and finally the chicken. Drizzle over any remaining juices from the pan. A fantastic lunch!

This is the world’s first 20 hp outboard motor designed with Lean Burn and Battery-Less Electronic Fuel Injection. The Suzuki EFI system operates Battery-Less, which is an industry first in this horse-power class. The DF20A is a smooth running “Next Generation” four stroke which delivers quick starts, great acceleration, awesome performance and superior fuel economy. Go Lean, Clean and Green, Go Suzuki!
A REVOLUTION IN INNOVATION
State-of-the-Art designs make the new DF20A the most technologically advanced portable outboard on the market today.
SUPERIOR FUEL ECONOMY / SUZUKI'S LEAN BURN CONTROL SYSTEM
First introduced on our DF90A/80A/70A, the Suzuki Lean Burn system is an intelligent system that monitors engine performance and operating conditions to predict fuel needs and deliver a leaner fuel mixture to the engine. The system delivers remarkable improvements in fuel economy over the engine’s entire operating range. This system is found on 14 Suzuki models from the DF9.9B up to the flagship DF300A, providing boaters with top-level fuel economy at all operating speeds.
NEW GENERATION FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
These are the first outboards in their respective classes to offer fuel injection, and the DF20A/15A/9.9B engineering team did an incredible job designing the outboard without adding unneeded bulk or weight. All new components, including the inline high-pressure fuel pump, fuel cooler, vapor separator, fuel injectors, and a new throttle body, were designed as compact and lightweight as possible. The entire system was designed to fit in as little space as possible. The system operates battery-less, which is another industry first in the 14.7kW (20PS), 11.0kW (15PS) and 7.3kW (9.9PS) class. While fuel injection systems normally require battery power to deliver quicker starts, smoother running performance, and more acceleration in all conditions, Suzuki’s Battery-Less system does this all without the need of battery power.
LIGHT WEIGHT & COMPACT
The DF20A/15A’s lightest in class title is the result of a complete redesign of parts and components, striving to create the smallest and lightest parts possible without compromising integrity. Succeeding in this, our engineers have delivered an outboard that even when configured with a power tilt system still weighs less than the any other outboard in the 4-stroke 14.7kW (20PS) /11.0kW (15PS) class.


title: Distributed logging system with rabbitmq 4d0e

text:
I have covered the setup procedure for my centralised distributed logging system. This system is essential for log management, message queues, and monitoring, which are critical to modern DevOps practices. The system setup includes a log producer and consumer system using RabbitMQ, which can aggregate them into a file for analysis.
First, install RabbitMQ on your server. Follow the installation instructions for your specific operating system from the official RabbitMQ website: https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html. I installed RabbitMQ on AWS EC2 running Ubuntu
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rabbitmq-server -y
Note: Ensure you add an inbound rule in the EC2 Security Group that allows SSH preferably from your IP alone
The management plugin provides a user interface and HTTP-based API for managing RabbitMQ. Run the following command to enable it:
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
This command enables the RabbitMQ management plugin, allowing access to the web-based management interface.
Create a new RabbitMQ user with a specific username and password:
rabbitmqctl add_user rabituser secret_password
This command creates a new user named rabbituser
with the password secret_password
Grant the user permissions to access and manage resources:
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / rabbituser ".*" ".*" ".*"
This command gives the user rabbituser
full permissions (read, write, and configure) on the default virtual host /
Grant the user access to the RabbitMQ management interface:
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags rabbituser management
This command adds the management
tag to the user rabbituser
, allowing them to log in to the RabbitMQ management interface.
Edit the /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
file to allow external access because RabbitMQ
blocks localhost access by default. Add the configuration.
listeners.tcp.default = 5672
Now restart the system
sudo systemctl restart rabbitmq-server
Once logged in, follow these steps to add a queue:
- Click on the "Queues" tab.
- Click on "Add a new queue".
- Enter the name of the queue (e.g.,
) and configure any additional settings as needed. - Click the "Add queue" button to create the queue.
Alternatively, you can add a queue using the rabbitmqadmin
: Navigate tohttp://<your_rabbitmq_server>:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin
to download the tool. - Make it executable:
chmod +x rabbitmqadmin
- Declare a Queue:
./rabbitmqadmin declare queue name=logs_queue durable=true
This command creates a durable queue named logs_queue

5 Reasons Why Annual Eye Exams Are Essential—Even If You Have Perfect Vision!
Taking care of your eyes isn’t just about seeing clearly—it’s about preserving your vision for a lifetime.
If you’ve had vision correction surgery or naturally have 20/20 vision, you might assume that annual eye exams aren’t necessary. After all, if you can see clearly, everything must be fine—right? Not necessarily. Your eyesight is just one part of your overall eye health, and routine eye exams are crucial for detecting hidden conditions before they become serious problems.
Here’s why you should schedule your annual eye exam, even if your vision seems perfect.
Early Detection of Eye Diseases 🏥
Many serious eye conditions develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can progress silently, often causing irreversible damage before vision loss becomes apparent.
Did you know? Glaucoma, often called the “silent thief of sight,” can reduce peripheral vision without any warning signs. By the time symptoms appear, significant vision loss may have already occurred.
Annual eye exams allow your eye doctor to detect these conditions early, increasing the chances of successful treatment and preserving your sight.
Your Eyes Reveal More Than Just Vision Problems 🩺
Your eyes are a window into your overall health. Many systemic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and even certain cancers, can first show signs in the eyes.
During your annual eye exam, your doctor may detect early indicators of:
✔ High blood pressure (by observing blood vessel abnormalities in the retina)
✔ Diabetes (through signs of diabetic retinopathy)
✔ Autoimmune diseases (by checking for inflammation in the eye)
✔ High cholesterol (by detecting plaque buildup in blood vessels)
Regular eye exams play a critical role in catching health conditions before they escalate.
Digital Eye Strain and Changing Lifestyles 💻📱
Even if you had vision correction surgery, your daily habits and screen time can affect your eye health. With prolonged screen use becoming the norm, conditions like digital eye strain, dry eyes, and blurred vision are more common than ever.
Your eye doctor can help manage screen-related eye fatigue and recommend lifestyle changes or protective eyewear to keep your vision comfortable and sharp.
Vision Can Change Over Time 🔄
Even after LASIK, PRK, or other vision correction procedures, your eyesight can still change over time due to aging, hormonal changes, or medical conditions.
Common age-related changes include:
✔ Presbyopia (the natural loss of near vision, typically after age 40)
✔ Cataracts (a clouding of the eye’s natural lens)
✔ Changes in night vision and contrast sensitivity
By having annual eye exams, your doctor can monitor these changes and offer solutions to keep your vision at its best.
It’s Quick, Easy, and Gives You Peace of Mind 🕒
Your annual eye exam takes less than an hour, but the benefits last a lifetime. Whether you need a simple checkup or a more in-depth evaluation, continuing to invest in the health of your eyes now can save you from more complex treatments in the future.
Book Your Annual Eye Exam in Today!
Even if your vision is crystal clear, annual eye exams are essential for protecting your long-term eye health. Check out our Modern Vision Omaha partner practice, Modern Vision Solutions at One Pacific Place for ongoing eye care for the entire family!


title: Top 5 wordpress website design companies

text:
Here is our list of the top WordPress website designers we have found based on the strength and quality of their portfolio vs the cost vs features of a WordPress website design package. Here are the key features we looked into when we created our list.
Looking at what a company have created is the biggest factor in your decision making for choosing a WordPress website designer. In my opinion, a portfolio is more important then customer reviews. Lets face it, if you’re in business yourself you know how clients expect the world in return for their money! Even though you clearly identify everything thats included and deliver an excellent end product/service, they are still not happy and leave a negative review against a company.
Reviews are not always accurate, positive or negative. Since anyone can leave a review without any form of validation, company reviews cannot be trusted. Portfolio’s however can.
Browsing a clients portfolio however can be trusted. You can see exactly how a website can look by viewing the work the website designer has done for other clients. If you can see their portfolio is updated regularly, it gives you an indication that the company is popular, building websites on a regular basis and produce quality work time after time.
The price is important for anything you purchase. With website design, most companies think they can charge £1000’s for something that should cost a few hundred quid. Why? because these design companies are still living in 2001 where websites used to cost a small fortune.
Today, websites cost no where near that amount and you shouldn’t be paying those prices. With software and technology available today, websites can be built quickly and efficiently, which will reduce the cost on website builds.
Now here is where new business owners usually mess up and end up spending a load of money in addons. There are a number of must have features required for any new website to perform well on today’s tech. The whole point of a website is for it to be found by new customers. You need to make sure the below are a must have within your WordPress website design package.
- SSL Certificate (makes the site secure)

New multi-million research project to improve quality of life for dementia patients
A new €7.5 million research project involving a team of academics from Queen’s University Belfast seeks to improve the care and quality of life for those with advanced dementia living in care homes.
People with advanced dementia who live and die in nursing homes experience varying quality of life and care. There is an urgent need to identify appropriate interventions that facilitate high-quality end-of-life care provision.
A collaborative European project, ‘In-Touch’, will be coordinated by University College Cork and will recruit 56 care homes across seven European countries to determine its effect on comfort, social engagement, and quality of life.
The results aim to create major change in the way that care for people with advanced dementia, in the palliative phase of their illness, is provided across Europe.
Receiving funding of nearly one million euros, the Queen’s team will lead the evaluation to determine the best conditions for applying the intervention in different contexts across the continent.
The team will be led by Professor Kevin Brazil, Professor of Palliative Care from the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Queen’s, he said: “Caring for the increasing numbers of people with advanced dementia and palliative care needs who live in care homes is difficult and demanding. Family members can find it challenging to connect meaningfully with their relatives and are anxious about the future. Care staff can struggle to provide care other than for basic needs such as feeding, toileting and skin care.
“People with advanced dementia deserve to have a better quality of life as they approach death, improved engagement and reduced social isolation. This new research project will ensure care staff will have an ethically sound and evidence-based intervention that is cost-effective to implement, with family members more involved in, and knowledgeable about, comfort care and future care plans.”
Professor Nicola Cornally, Senior Lecturer and Director of Research and Innovation from the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University College Cork said: “There’s a critical need for a non-pharmacological intervention for people with advanced dementia that can improve quality of life.
“In-Touch brings together two complementary evidence-based interventions, considering the needs of both the person living with advanced dementia and their family, right through to the end of life. The project will help us have an immediate positive impact on the well-being of people with advanced dementia and it should reduce social isolation and improve engagement in meaningful person-centred activities.”
Working alongside Professor Brazil and Professor Cornally will be Drs Gary Mitchell, Julie Doherty and Roisin O’Neill from the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Queen’s University Belfast, as well as Professor Suzanne Timmons, Consultant Geriatrician and Principal Investigator in the Centre for Gerontology and Rehabilitation from the School of Medicine, University College Cork.
The project is funded by the European Commission and Queen’s University Belfast researchers are funded by the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee Fund.

This month is usually a quiet time for working on flower beds and borders as most herbaceous plants are dormant at this time of year. So if you have been dreaming about a garden filled with fragrance as well as beauty, this is a great time of year to make plans. Plants vary considerably in the amount of fragrance they produce so you need to bear this in mind when deciding which plants to choose and where to plant them. You can grow flowers that will make your garden smell great! These fragrant flowers are perfect additions to your garden because they are a treat for the eyes and the nose. Many flowering plants, especially white ones, release most of their fragrance in the evening. Be sure to plant flowers along your walkway as well as in your flower gardens so that guests are greeted by wonderful-smelling, colourful blooms.
Often, plants described as ‘scented’ have a very slight odour that, although pleasant enough, is barely perceptible once planted in the garden. However, plants with an appealing delicate fragrance are worth giving a go if they produce a lot of blooms.
If you don’t want to change your entire garden, or if you don’t have room, a patio is the perfect spot to grow scented plants because it’s the one place in the garden you are sure to pause for long enough to really appreciate the perfume. The fragrance will be all the more potent if the patio is positioned in a sunny and sheltered spot. The extra warmth will help release the scent molecules and the gentle air movements will allow even subtle fragrances time to build up.
Flowering tobacco is a very easy annual flower to grow that also smells light and fresh. Sweet peas are a nice smelling garden classic flower that can climb on a wall. Roses are tough and fragrant, as well. Old fashioned Petunias are both sweet and beautiful and are a great addition to your flower beds.
This video shows you how easy it can be to add fragrant plants to your garden.


title: Recently discovered work of kandinsky fetches record 45 million

text:
LONDON (AFP): Sotheby’s auctioneers announced that “Murnau Mit Kirche II,” a masterpiece by Wassily Kandinsky that was recently recovered by the descendants of its previous owner – a German Jew who was killed by the Nazis – has been sold for $45 million on Wednesday, setting a new record for the artist.
The 1910 painting, a colorful vision of the German village of Murnau with its church spire stretched like the peaks of the Bavarian Alps, heralded the Russian master’s move toward abstraction.
The oil work once adorned the dining room of the Jewish couple Johanna Margarethe Stern and Siegbert Stern, founders of a textile company.
At the heart of Berlin’s cultural life in the 1920s, counting Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, and Albert Einstein in their circle, they built up a collection of around 100 paintings and drawings.
Siegbert Stern died of natural causes in 1935. His wife fled to the Netherlands but died in Auschwitz in May 1944 after being captured by the Nazis.
“Murnau Mit Kirche II” was identified only a decade ago in a museum in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, where it had been since 1951.
It was returned last year to the heirs of the Sterns, whose 13 survivors will share the proceeds. They include one member of the family who was in hiding during the war.
“Nothing can undo the wrongs of the past,” said a statement from the family.
But the painting’s restitution was “immensely significant to us because it is an acknowledgment and partially closes a wound that has remained open over the generations.”
Also up for auction was Edward Munch’s 1906 “Dance on the Beach,” which was sheltered from the Nazis in a barn in a Norwegian forest and which has been the subject of a restitution agreement.
The painting fetched £16.9 million ($20 million, 19 million euros).
A Frantisek Kupka painting, “Complexe” (1912), which once belonged to the actor Sean Connery, sold for £4.6 million. Proceeds will go to the Connery Foundation, which operates in Scotland and the Bahamas.
The sale is part of a series of auctions in London devoted to modern and contemporary art.


title: Samoa supreme court opts not to penalise tuilaepa after guilty verdict

text:
The Supreme Court has opted not to penalise politicians Tuilaepa Dr. Sailele Malielegaoi and Lealailepule Rimoni Aiafi, and lawyer Maiava Visekota Peteru after it found them guilty of scandalising the Court.
Samoa Observer reports that the Court, presided over by a panel of overseas Justices, ruled there will be no penalty against the Human Rights Protection Party (H.R.P.P) leader and party secretary and the lawyer due to a “harmony agreement” between the parties.
Previous attempts by the Fa’atuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (F.A.S.T) led Government to withdraw the proceedings against its rival party was rejected by presiding Justice Robert Fisher and Justice Raynor Asher.
“We were urged to discontinue these proceedings to allow Samoa to move on,” said the Court in its 39 pages long decision.
Last April’s 2021 General Election was followed by a period of political turmoil, with the Courts intervening following applications by the F.A.S.T. party, questioning the legality of decisions made by the then H.R.P.P. Caretaker Administration.
The Court pointed out the legal position was that the current Prime Minister, Fiame Naomi Mata’afa and the F.A.S.T. party had won the election.
“The former Prime Minister and H.R.P.P could not accept that,” the Court decision stated.
“They publicly denigrated the Judges and declined to follow their decisions. By rejecting the Judges, they invited legal anarchy. The root of the problem was rejection of judicial decisions.”
The Court said some of the respondents were guilty of the gravest possible examples of contempt of Court.
In relation to Tuilaepa, the Court said he embarked on a sustained campaign to vilify the Judges.
“For several anxious months Samoa’s proud history of stability was under threat,” the Court noted in its judgement. “Even now the conflicts linger. We accept the evidence before us that there has been a lasting decline in respect for the law and the Courts in some quarters. That is the sorry legacy left by a formerly great leader.”
“The current Prime Minister and F.A.S.T. party are anxious to put them to bed. It is not our place to disagree.”
