Experimental and theoretical investigation to optimize an ultrasonic phased array for low frequenciesF. Mielentz, M. Krause, R. Boehm, H. Wüstenberg, BAM Berlin (Germany)

A new phased array transmitting equipment for the ultrasonic low-frequency range is presented. Using this technique, time-controlled excitation of the transducers arranged in the array can shift, deflect and/or focus the sound beam in concrete structures.
Measurements on concrete test blocks with different thickness and aggregate size have demonstrated the possibilities of the sound field control using the phased array technique. Focusing and deflecting possibilities of the sound beam are tested using a laser vibrometer in through transmission technique. These tests have proved that the phased array transmitter unit developed by BAM may also be used for further application in pulse-echo mode.
At present commercially available probes with the nominal frequency of 200kHz are used for this array. The 3D-Model-Calculation based on point source synthesis allows to prove the suitability of the probes and to optimize their arrangement on the concrete surface. The program calculates the delay times necessary for the desired directivity pattern.
The influence of the concrete aggregate size and of the air-pores on the sound field is investigated by EFIT-modeling (Elastodynamic Finite Integration Technique) . The synthetic EFIT-data are compared with the experimental results.
Using modeling the parameters of the ultrasonic array can be varied and tested before measuring. In this way it is possible to optimize the system and especially the construction of transducers for NDT of concrete elements.
Application of ultrasonic methods in the construction industry for non-destructive testing of building components made of mineral materials differs greatly from ultrasonic testing of metals. Significant material inhomogeneities in concrete cause strong sound attenuation by scattering and absorption, thus ultrasound frequencies below 200kHz must generally be used. This corresponds to a wave-length (l) longer than 2cm. Common ultrasonic low-frequency probes usually have transducer diameters (D) smaller than 6cm to allow attachment of probes to irregular concrete surfaces (not as smooth as concrete formwork) without difficulty. This D/l ratio is very unfavourable for ultrasonic testing and results in an almost non-directional radiation for longitudinal waves. Furthermore, an additional intensive non-directional radiation of transverse and surface waves takes place. These circumstances considerably impede the evaluation of conventional impulse-echo testing and have necessitated a special optimization process for ultrasonic testing in the construction industry .
A scanning technique based on the synthetic aperture principle has been proved to be suitable for practical use. Based on this method a measurement apparatus equipped with an array of 10 probes has been developed by BAM and used successfully in numerous measurements for structural investigation of concrete building components .
If pulses with different time delays are sent to the probes of such a phased array while transmitting, the sound field within the material can be controlled (Figure 1).
Non-destructive material testing using ultrasonic phased array sensors has been successfully used for metals over many years. Using this technique, the sound fields of a phased array sensor can be adjusted to the actual test arrangement and the same probe can be used for many different tests. Modern phased array equipment has a large number of transmitter and receiver units enabling continuous deflecting and focusing of the sound beam , , , , , .
Theoretical calculations demonstrate that this technique can be used also in concrete building components. The influence of the concrete aggregate size and of the air-pores on the sound field is investigated by EFIT-modeling. Figure 2 shows a 2D-simulation of the wave propagation in four snapshots. A concrete aggregate size of 16 mm and an air-pore content of 2 % was taken as a basic for this calculation. In this example, the time delay was adjusted in a way that the sound beam was focused on x = 0.3 m and y = 0.5 m.
In the following an example of a phased array transmitter will be presented which uses time-controlled excitation of the transducers in the array to enable deflecting and/or focusing of the sound beam within the concrete building component.
Concept of the phased array transmitter apparatus
The phased array sensor consists of the ultrasonic low-frequency probes arranged in an array connected via a multicore cable to the transmitter units. A transmitter stage is needed for each probe which can be triggered externally. Transmitter impulse time delays are generated by commercially available PC boards. The circuit boards are connected through control lines and interface boards to the transmitter stages which emit suitably time delayed transmitter impulses Figure 3 gives an overview of the setup.
Common phased array sensors have a rectangular or quadratic transducer membrane composed of narrow rectangular elements which can be individually driven. Low-frequency phased array sensors in the frequency range of around 100 kHz suitable for concrete applications are currently not available.
As stated in the introduction, BAM has produced measurement equipment with an array of ultrasonic low-frequency probes. The probes have been sequentially used as transmitter and receiver so far, thus deflecting or focusing has not been possible. Using a computer control program and special electronics for sound field control, the probes should be able to be used for these investigations. However, the available probes had to be checked to see whether or not their use in a time-controlled phased array was practical.
A computer program based on point source synthesis was used to prove the suitability of probes and optimize their arrangement. For this purpose the probe array is divided into transducer sub-elements and the sound excitation reference point is calculated as the complex sum of the elementary wave fractions , . Figure 4 shows the calculated directivity pattern for two different probe arrangements with the same focal point on the reference line. In the right-hand figure, a clear grating lobe can be seen at s = 280cm, which may cause misinterpretation in the measurement evaluation. Because of better suppression of the grating lobe in the left-hand figure, the staggered probe arrangement is preferred for use in the phased array apparatus (Figure 5).
Measurement on a concrete test block
Directivity pattern of phased array sensors are normally checked using semicylindrical specimens. Such specimens with dimensions and concrete composition as used in the construction industry were not readily available, therefore the measurements were carried out on available concrete building components. The probe transmitter array was attached to one side of the concrete specimen by means of a template. Directivity patterns were measured on the other side of the specimen using through transmission technique along a measurement line using a laser vibrometer. Vaseline was used as a coupling medium to connect the array. Figure 6 shows the measurement setup with a laser vibrometer used as an ultrasonic sensor. The concrete surface has been covered with a reflecting coat of paint or foil around the measurement line. The laser beam automatically scans at 0.5mm spacing along the measurement line by means of a computer-controlled mirror scanner. The measured amplitudes are shown as a function of distance in the results.
Results on the concrete test block and outlook
For the measurements a test block with maximum aggregate size of 16mm and a thickness of 450mm was used. Three cases were investigated equivalent to the calculations: without focusing, using focusing and focusing with a deflection angle of 13°. Figure 7 shows a comparison of measured and calculated directivity pattern of the array. The measured signals are filtered and rectified and each signal amplitude is evaluated. In the left-hand figure, the directivity pattern of synthetic EFIT-data can be seen. The synthetic data was calculated with an aggregate size of 16mm an air-pore content of 2%.
In the right-hand figure, the measured amplitudes are shown. The top figure shows the directivity pattern without focusing where all probes within the array were driven simultaneously.
The middle figure illustrates the directivity pattern for a focused sound field. The ultrasonic amplitude is higher than in the unfocused case and the sound beam is significantly narrower. The natural focusing of the array produces a smaller sound beam as it was simulated by the calculation. Therefore, the effect of focusing is not as significant in the measurement as it is in the calculation. However, the cramping sound beam can be seen clearly.
The bottom figure displays the combined effect of deflecting and focusing the sound beam. The comparison of the diagrams in the bottom row of Figure 7 shows that the amplitude decrease in the measurement is not as significant as it is in the calculation.
The measured results clearly show a change in the directivity pattern of the probe array controlled by a time delay in the transmitter impulse.
In Figure 8 the amplitude distribution in a measurement area of x = 400mm and y = 700 mm for the three cases: without focusing, using focusing and focusing with a deflection angle is shown. The used measurement setup is shown in Figure 6. In the third picture of Figure 8 an increase amplitude is recognizable in two areas (coordinates: x = 50mm, y = 450mm and x = 350mm, y = 500mm).
The calculation of these areas (Figure 9) is based on the point source synthesis. The increasing of amplitude in the calculation is recognized in the same areas as it is in the measurement. These lateral grating lobes result from the 2D-probe arrangement. If this will lead to consequences for practical applications, it must be subject of further investigations.
These tests have proved that the phased array transmitter unit which was developed by BAM is capable of focusing and deflecting the sound beam of a probe array in a concrete building component with a maximum aggregate size as used in the construction industry. Taking into account the inhomogeneity of concrete, a qualitative comparison of the results shows a good correlation between measured results and model calculations for directivity patterns.
It is planned to carry out measurements where the phased array transmitter unit will be applied to concrete building components of other aggregate size distributions and thicknesses. Additionally a concept for the application of the phased array transmitter unit for the pulse echo method will be developed in further research activities.

Iraq will meet the Socceroos' conquerors, Korea Republic, in an Asian Cup semi in Sydney after Salam Shakir's spot-kick gave them an incredible 7-6 penalty shoot-out win over Iran in their Asian Cup quarter-final.
Defender Shakir held his nerve to score the winning penalty after the two teams were locked at 3-3 following 120 minutes in Canberra.
Iraq - winners of the tournament in 2007 - will now play South Korea on Monday, with a spot in this year's final up for grabs.
Both sides made a stuttering start to the shoot-out, as Iran's Ehsan Hajsafi and Iraq's Saad Abdulameer missed the target.
The next 12 penalties were scored, though, including a Panenka from Iraq captain Younis Mahmoud at 4-3 when a miss would have eliminated his side.
Mahmoud's bravery was made more amazing by the fact he missed a similar penalty in his side's 2-0 win over Palestine on Tuesday.
Iran's Vahid Amiri then hit the post, allowing Shakir to slot to his right and secure Iraq's progression.
Earlier, Sardar Azmoun's header gave Iran a 24th-minute lead, before Williams, who was criticised heavily by Iran boss Carlos Queiroz earlier in the tournament - leading to the ex-Real Madrid coach being fined - sent Mehrdad Pooladi off in bizarre circumstances just two minutes before half-time.
Pooladi, earlier booked for a late challenge on Ahmed Yasin, made minor contact with Iraq goalkeeper Jalal Hassan Hachim when chasing a loose ball.
The keeper then shoved Pooladi, who theatrically fell to the ground holding his face, leading to another booking from Williams.
Iraq made the man extra count in the second half, when, after a spell of pressure, Yasin fired in from a tight angle 11 minutes after the restart, and after an additional 30 minutes was forced, Mahmoud headed them in front.
Iran climbed off the canvas, though, with Morteza Pouraliganji's thumping header bringing them level in the 103rd minute, but the defender then brought down Yaser Kasim in the area to concede a penalty - scored by Dhurgham Ismail in the 116th minute.
The drama, amazingly, did not end there, as an Iran corner - which was initially cleared off the line, before Andranik Teymourian fired against the crossbar - was finally nodded in by substitute Reza Ghoochannejhad in the 119th minute.
That brought about penalties but it was to be Iraq's night in the Australian capital.

Introduction and General Information
A FRAC OSBPI Working Group was formed in 2015 to generate common resistance management recommendations for the fungicide oxathiapiprolin and other OSBP-inhibitors.
Oxathiapiprolin is a fungicide active against oomycete fungi and used for the control of Phytophthora and downy mildews of numerous crops.
Oxathiapiprolin inhibits an oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) homologue. Oxysterol binding proteins are implicated in the movement of lipids between membranes, among other processes. Inhibiting OSBP may disrupt other processes in the fungal cell, such as signaling, maintaining cell membranes, and the formation of more complex lipids that are essential for the cell to survive.
Oxathiapiprolin has been classified under the FRAC Code 49. The resistance risk is medium to high.

London, Mar 23 (ANI): Victoria Beckham has revealed that when she and her footie star hubby David were invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding last April, she had no idea what to wear.
The LA Galaxy star's wife made the revelation in an interview with Vogue.
"First, obviously, we were very, very excited. Then panic set in. What do you wear to the biggest wedding ever - when you're enormously pregnant?" the Mirror quoted her as telling the publication.
Victoria, 37, ended up choosing 'Look #2' from her fall-winter 2011 collection in inky blue with a Philip Treacy pillbox hat and pair of gravity-defying Louboutins. She accessorised the look with hubby David and Harper (in her belly).
The interview in the April edition of American Vogue reveals lots about her new clothing collection and how she's gone from an ex-Spice girl to a bona fide fashion designer with a celebrity clientele that reads like the Oscars guest-list. (ANI)

Market research firms are considering their options after the Federal Communications Commission passed new rules that put tighter restrictions on auto-dialed telephone calls to cell phones.
The new rules, passed last Thursday, update provisions in the Telephone consumer protection Act, a 1991 law to restrict annoying telemarketing calls.
But while the updates give consumers more control over who gets to call their cell phone numbers and allows mobile carriers to offer call-blocking technology, the rules also broaden the definition of robocalls, making no exceptions for caller intent, punishing businesses with legitimate reasons to contact their customers as well as fraudsters and hucksters. However, there are ways businesses can get around this and that is by using a ringless voicemail system such as rvm drop so the phone doesn’t ring and goes straight to voicemail instead. This is useful for businesses that are trying to legitimately contact customers.
The Council of American Survey Research Organizations and the Marketing Research Association said the groups “will be â€¦. considering all options â€” regulatory, legislative and judicial â€” to support a positive business environment for legitimate research,â€ the groups said in a statement.
With more than 58.5 percent of households or 78 million, mostly or only reachable via cell phone, market and survey researchers argue that could hamstring research firms and unnecessarily increase consumer and business costs. Businesses that contact their customers for common business reasons, such as delivery notifications, product recalls, school alerts, airline delays, or sending confirmation texts, would be liable for fines and lawsuits if there is not express consent for the call.
â€œWe had asked that the FCC limit use of the term â€˜robocall,â€™ sensibly limit the definition of an autodialer, and establish a bright line rule regarding reasonable opt-out and a clear standard for notice of wireless number reassignment,â€ said Diane Bowers, president of the Council of American Survey Research Organizations. â€œCASRO and MRA [Marketing Research Association] are disappointed that these requests were sidestepped.â€
For example, if a researcher calls a number that has been reassigned more than once, the call would be a violation of the updated TCPA rules.
“The agencyâ€™s decision oversteps its authority by imposing new regulations that create new restrictions on important, time-sensitive, non-telemarketing communications, which go way beyond the intent of Congress when it passed the TCPA in 1991,â€ said Lisa Rickard, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform and William Kovacs, senior vice president for environment, technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber.
Both FCC GOP commissioners argued the updates went too far. Commissioner Ajit Pai dissented and Mike O’Rielly dissented in part and approved in part.
â€œRather than focus on the illegal telemarketing calls that consumers really care about, the Order twists the lawâ€™s words even further to target useful communications between legitimate businesses and their customers. This Order will make abuse of the TCPA much, much easier. And the primary beneficiaries will be trial lawyers, not the American public,â€ said Pai in his dissenting statement. â€œWeâ€™re taking our focus off of telemarketing fraud and sweeping legitimate phone calls within the TCPA.â€

The demand for digital content is ever-growing, and with the advancement in technology, not only is 2d animation more commonplace than ever, but also 3D animation is become much more accessible.
And, let’s not overlook how amazing 2D animation has turned out, particularly in the anime industry. The market is booming, and today, 2d animation finds Japan as its stronghold.
That’s not all, the global anime market is estimated to be worth more than 28 billion USD. And, it is expected to grow @9% per year till 2030.
Table of Contents
Defining 2D Animation
In its essence, 2D animation involves creating and animating elements in a two-dimensional space, devoid of the depth seen in 3D animation.
Traditionally, artists meticulously drew each frame by hand on paper, a process later digitized with software like Adobe Animate and Toon Boom.
This form of animation relies on flat shapes, with animators using techniques like twining and keyframing to simulate movement and emotion.
A Historical Odyssey
The roots of 2D animation trace back to the pioneers of cinema in the early 20th century. Figures like Winsor McCay and J. Stuart Blackton experimented with hand-drawn techniques.
The 1920s saw Walt Disney and his team revolutionizing the field, introducing multiplane cameras and synchronized sound.
The ensuing decades witnessed the evolution of 2D animation, incorporating technologies such as cell animation and experiencing a surge in popularity through iconic shows like “The Flintstones” and “Scooby-Doo.”
2D animation’s inception can be traced back to the earliest computers that featured digital painting apps in the 1980s and 1990s. It was a remarkable development for people aspiring to learn art digitally.
Even today, 2D animation continues to hold its prominence among other forms of digital art. Yes, 3D is here to stay in the longer run, as it will become seriously affordable with time.
But we cannot overlook the success of 2D animation and how it’s still very relevant in today’s market. It’s simple, old-school, yet powerful enough to entice audiences.
Statistics Paint a Promising Picture
Recent statistics underscore the growth of the 2D animation industry.
Previously, the 2D animation industry was valued at 25 billion USD in the year 2010. Current estimates show that the market has the potential to grow @4.3 per cent till 2028.
Particularly in the US, this growth is projected to be even faster by 5.5 per cent per year. 2D animation can be keen in underpinning the 270 million USD mark by 2025. This includes the entire animation industry inside the US.
In addition to this, what’s even worth knowing is that the 2d animation industry’s major chunk comprises of game animation. It is estimated that 40% of 2D animation market mainly includes art and animation done for games.
As more companies equate the demand with enough resources, the 2d animation cost will become much more affordable than what it currently is.
The most favored animation software for 2D animation includes Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, and Moho.
Here’s another fascinating stat. The global market for video production is expected to surpass a whopping figure of 24 billion USD by the year 2027. And, that also includes the fancy component of 2D animation underpinning this massive growth.

Childe Hassam (1859–1935)
Horse Drawn Cabs at Evening, New York, c. 1890
Childe Hassam, a preeminent American impressionist, pioneered the artistic portrayal of the modern American city and was one of the most critically and financially successful artists of his generation. Horse Drawn Cabs at Evening, New York is a view looking toward Madison Square in Manhattan. Hassam skillfully employed the fluid medium of watercolor to obscure recognizable landmarks, as if viewed through rain, and to explore the effects of light shimmering on wet pavement, the blurred movement of passersby under umbrellas, and cabs in the street. Urban street scenes became Hassam’s specialty when he moved to New York in 1889 after a three-year sojourn in Paris. He was particularly drawn to the theme of cabs, and is said to have painted from the perch of a hansom, using the front seat as his easel. His broken, expressive brushwork and keen interest in the incessant flux of modern urban life signify his embrace of impressionism.
Learn more about this watercolor on the Terra Foundation website.
The experience of turn-of-the-century New York City was a subject as important to painters as it was to novelists, but where writers such as Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945) dug into the grittiness of urban lives, Childe Hassam absorbed its visual spectacle. Illustrations by Hassam and Hughson Hawley (1850–1936) for articles in Scribner’s and Harper’s Weekly documented the popular joy of promenading. As in Paris, this was an important social activity for New York’s upper classes, who made themselves visible to others in spaces of leisure and amusement. Hassam, like a latter-day descendent of midcentury French flâneurs, used a hansom cab as a moving studio, inserting himself into the multitude while remaining invisible from the crowd. “There is nothing so interesting to me as people,” Hassam remarked in an 1892 interview. “I am never tired of observing them in every-day life, as they hurry through the streets on business or saunter down the promenade on pleasure. Humanity in motion is a continual study to me.”1
The watercolor Horse Drawn Cabs at Evening, New York (c. 1890) demonstrates Hassam’s persistent interest in rainy scenes, which can also be seen in the paintings Rainy Day, Boston (1885, Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio) and Cab Stand at Night, Madison Square, New York (1891, Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts). The faint light of the street lamp reflecting off the display window creates a shimmering reflection on the wet surface of the street. Hassam preferred specific weather conditions and settings that offered a view of the city unaffected by the class conflict and ethnic tensions prevalent in America’s urban centers. To capture this moment, Hassam would have waited for the most picturesque groups of passersby to appear. Confined to a brief sketch rather than an overwhelming panoramic view, this work provided a visual parallel to critic and writer Mariana G. Van Rensselaer’s (1851–1934) representation of the metropolis in her essay “Picturesque New York,” published in Century Magazine in 1892.
During his long career, Hassam worked in both oils and watercolor, but the latter dominated his early output. Comparing the Terra Foundation watercolor with the oil sketches April Showers, Champs Elysees, Paris (1888, Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska) and Cab Stand at Night, Madison Square, New York, it is not difficult to see a subtle transition in Hassam’s technique. In the watercolor it appears he was on the threshold of achieving an eclectic conglomerate of staccato dabs of impressionism, as well as the tonal harmony and flat patterning of James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834–1903). Realist execution in Hassam’s work gradually gave way to a more flattened and decorated way of painting through the dissolution of figure and form. As skyscrapers supplanted the genteel avenues of the nineteenth-century city, the horse-drawn cabs he depicted would soon be replaced by automobiles and the upward thrust of the skyline would soon forever alter New York’s urban view.

In an editorial, the New York Times says: Anyone who had the time to read the summary of the 6,700-page report by Senate investigators on the federal government’s program of torturing detainees captured after the Sept. 11 attacks knew, or at least suspected, that there was more to the sickening story.
This week, a Reuters report added to those suspicions with newly declassified statements from Majid Khan, a high-value prisoner who had been affiliated with Al Qaeda, was captured in 2003 and has been held at Guantánamo Bay since 2006.
Over more than seven years of conversations at Guantánamo with his lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights, Mr. Khan described even more torture and abuse than is contained in the Senate report. Although the details of his account, as documented in notes by his lawyers, could not be independently confirmed, they corroborate many of the findings of the report.
Soon after his capture, Mr. Khan said, interrogators waterboarded him twice, a contention that contradicts the Central Intelligence Agency’s claim that it had already named all detainees who were subjected to that practice. (The C.I.A. has denied that Mr. Khan was waterboarded.) As he was moved among a series of C.I.A.-operated “black sites” over the following months, Mr. Khan told his lawyers, the torture continued. He was beaten repeatedly. He was hung naked from a wooden beam for three days, shackled and starved. He was taken down once during that time to be submerged in an ice bath. Interrogators pushed his head under the water until he thought he would drown. He received what he called “violent enemas,” and was anally assaulted in a process the interrogators called “rectal feeding.”
“I wished they had killed me,” Mr. Khan said. [Continue reading…]


Telonic Instruments has two high performance, higher frequency spectrum analysers, the DSA832-TG and the new DSA875-TG that push RIGOL’s DSA800 series to 3.2GHz & 7.5GHz, respectively. The spectrum analysers are available with Tracking Generator options up to 7.5GHz offering powerful and broad ranging features including options for VSWR measurement toolkit for configuring and evaluating antennas.
They also feature an advanced measurement kit (DSA800-AMK software) with numerous additional measurement functions including T-power, channel boundaries and CNR noise ratio.
New accessories include the 8GHz VSWR bridge or directional coupler (VB1080 2-8GHz) plus accessory packs for 75 Ohm work (RF CATV Kit), and attenuator sets for higher power work including the RF Attenuator Kit which includes 6 and 10dB attenuators or the model ATT03301H 30 dB high power attenuator.
Designed so you achieve Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and many new comms/RF standards – SSB Phase Noise is down as low as -98 dBc/Hz (@10 KHz) – these new specs enable engineers to more accurately analyse modulations and noise surrounding their signals for increasingly critical debugging and immunity testing of transceiver systems. Using the 7.5GHz instrument, engineers can investigate the 3rd harmonic for all 2.4GHz applications. Additionally, resolution bandwidth settings down to 10Hz mean more precise visualisation of low power RF signals.
Using the instruments’ EMI-DSA800 option, designers can enable the EMI RBW settings and the Quasi-Peak filter across the entire spectrum of interest for compliance and immunity testing. The new preamplifier option (PA-DSA832 or PA-DSA875), assists with finding and evaluating even extremely low power issues. With this option, the displayed average noise level (DANL) normalized to 1 Hz is specified as low as -161 dBm (typical) from 5MHz all the way to 3.2GHz.

"There's been more advancement in the field of prosthetics since 1945 than there has been in the entire automobile industry," says Mark Vukov, a clinical education manager at College Park Industries, a manufacturer of prosthetic feet. These days, prostheses are body-powered, bionic and look and feel like real human limbs. The technology is getting so advanced that researchers have discovered how to convey a sense of touch.

Ivy Tech Library’s festival is free and open to Ivy Tech students, employees, and the general public—so invite a friend! The first Edible Book Festival was created by Judith A. Hoffberg and Beatrice Coron in 2000, and has since been celebrated by libraries, bookstores, and other book lovers in over a dozen countries.
It will be held on Monday, April 7th, 2014 in the hallways of the Student Life Center, which is located on Ivy Tech’s North Campus in Fort Wayne (3701 Dean Drive). Set up Entries: 11am – 12pm . View Entries: 12pm to 1pm. Taste Entries: 1pm to 2pm
To display your own edible book in the Festival, complete a registration form by Thursday, March 13th, 2014. Anyone can enter this event! The more the yummier! All participants will receive a $10 gift card as a “Thank You”. Also any participating artist or business is welcome to display business cards with their entry.


The Supreme Court has ruled on the controversial Arizona Immigration Law originally passed back in 2010. Three of the four provisions were struck down, but the most controversial provision that allowed police officers to verify the immigration status of a person on routine traffic stops was upheld.
The provisions struck down were (cited from the MSNBC article):
- One making it a crime for an illegal immigrant to work or to seek work in Arizona;
- One which authorized state and local officers to arrest people without a warrant if the officers have probable cause to believe a person is an illegal immigrant;
- And one that made it a state requirement for immigrants to register with the federal government.
In my opinion, this is a major blow to the Obama administration and the progressive movement — although it’s clear they don’t quite realize it yet. MSNBC and CNN’s headlines suggest that “key provisions” were struck down, while Yahoo! News and Fox News are stating that “the key provision” was upheld.
These conflicting reports are further evidence that we, the general populace, must remain vigilant in seeking the truth and should not rely on any single source.
Remember two years ago that liberals were screaming “racism!” when Gov. Jan Brewer passed the law because they thought asking for immigration status would be unfairly targeted toward Mexicans and other assorted Hispanics. Well, when the majority of illegal immigrants are Mexican and Hispanic, and an inordinate number of Mexicans and Hispanics are in the country illegally, what did they expect?
But their selective outrage knows no bounds, and they seem to have forgotten their furor of two years ago. Now they are calling this a “win” for the Obama administration.
Ah, ignorance must be bliss.

Genetic sequencing technologies have rapidly advanced, reducing the time required to sequence the entire human genome from years to only hours, and the costs just as dramatically. So in recent decades, scientists and clinicians have been able to identify inherited genetic mutations in many more patients. The hope is that medicine, including cancer therapeutics, will one day become more personalized, as more changes in the genome are linked to changes in health.
Scientists at Mayo Clinic have now used genetic testing to assess the genomes of over 3,000 cancer patients at various Mayo Clinic locations. This work, which was reported in JAMA Oncology, revealed that one eight of these patients are carrying an inherited genetic mutation that would not have been diagnosed with standard approaches, and which is likely to be influencing their cancer.
"We found that 13.5 percent of patients had an inherited mutation in a gene associated with the development of their cancer," said study author Niloy Jewel Samadder, M.D., a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and hepatologist. "Everyone has some risk of developing cancer, and in most cases, the disease develops by chance. However, some people are genetically predisposed to developing certain types of cancer, such as breast or colon cancers."
An inherited genetic mutation has the potential to cause diseases other than cancer, but some mutations can affect genes that may trigger the development of cancer in some cells. Some cancers can also arise after a random genetic mutation occurs in one cell in an adult. But this study suggests that anywhere from ten to 25 percent of cancers happen when a mutation a person is born with alters their cells in a way that promotes cancer in some tissues.
It may be possible to improve targeted cancer therapeutics if we identify more inherited genetic mutations that are linked to cancer, noted Dr. Samadder.
Various cancer types were included in this work, like breast, pancreatic, prostate, bladder, endometrial, and lung cancers.
The researchers determined that standard guidelines used by physicians when determining who needs genetic testing are falling short; these guidelines only identified about half of the people that were found with mutations.
"Genetic testing is underutilized in cancer care, both for patients and for their families, often due to outdated guidelines that restrict testing to a narrow group of high-risk patients," said study author Robert Nussbaum, M.D., chief medical officer of Invitae Corporation. "All cancer patients should have access to complete genetic information that can guide their care and inform their families' health."
"Steps are being taken to ensure all patients are offered genomic sequencing to better understand the genes that led to the development of their cancer, and how to precisely target treatment and improve survival," Dr. Samadder said.

Town announces second Remembrance Trees fundraiser
The Remembrance Trees fundraiser is returning to Wareham this holiday season, Town Administrator Derek Sullivan announced at the Tuesday, Nov. 1 meeting of the Wareham Board of Selectmen.
Seventy-four trees are available to decorate in memory of a loved one, at a cost of $50 per tree. All proceeds will go to Damien’s Place Food Pantry in Wareham. Last year, the cost was $25 per tree, but residents wanted to donate more.
In response to popular demand, 60 trees will be set aside to honor veterans. The town planned to plant the trees at the Town Green (also known as Center Park), but park officials refused, saying that they would not allow any digging on site. The town plans to display the trees at the veterans monument by Town Hall. All proceeds from sales of trees will go to the Kendrick House home for disabled veterans.
The Onset Bay Association also plans to offer trees, the proceeds of which go to the association. The trees will be displayed on Onset Pier. For more information, call 508-295-7072.
Due to limited supply, the town requests that each resident buy only one tree.
“It’s not necessary to purchase three different trees for three different people,” Sullivan said. “They’re all part of your family, one tree is enough.”

IN THE MUSEUMS : Fine Arts Museum San Francisco
Marquetry drop-leaf secretary. Louis XV era
Ink inscriptions “Poirier, Md rue St Honoré” and “Poirier 3 piesses argenté”
Stamped de B.V.R.B (Bernard Van Risenburgh) – 1763.
Origin: Purchased by the Earl of Coventry from the Marchand-Mercier Simon-Ph. Poirier on 9 September 1763, for the Croome Court estate. Chester Beatty collection. Maharani of Baroda
Location : Fine Arts Museum San Francisco.
This secretaire, which bears the stamp of Bernard II Van Risen Burgh, is characteristic of the Louis XV style.
It was made with end-grain rosewood and amaranth marquetry and features flower-shaped, leaf-shaped and tree-shaped patterns.
This incredible piece is a testament to the cabinetmaker’s talent and to its prestigious commissioner. BVRB delivered this secretaire to the 6th Earl of Coventry in 1763, via the marchand-mercier Simon-Ph Poirier, for his Croome Court estate in England. The delicate marquetry work showcases the cabinetmaker’s skill in crafting chiselled, gilded bronze elements. The latter run across the secretaire in a way that is typical of the rocaille style. The piece features a doucine with a griotte marble top.
B.V.R.B was one of the greatest cabinetmakers under the reign of Louis XV. His pieces were outstandingly beautiful, what with their balanced shapes and the admirable quality of the materials used. These qualities caught the attention of the royal family, as well as the French.

The art direction of this current film version of the Philip K. Dick short story reminded me of Bladerunner, especially the scenes around The Colony: a rainy, concrete-grey, vaguely Asian city populated by rogues and the disenchanted, occasionally punctuated by the super-sleek appearances of bars where our hero can taste the elixir of recalled and invented memories. It is possible that I like these films for the art direction entirely; I have written previously about the many ways in which we can imagine dystopia.
In Total Recall, Bladerunner, Metropolis, Gattaca, Terminator, Alphaville (and many others) The City is the capital of dystopia. When everything goes to pieces, the cities still stand. When faced with the collapse of the world and the possible return of the invaders, humans gravitate toward the densest areas. Certainly the city is the perfect vehicle for a narrative. Here, a hero can encounter all the necessary stock characters who test his strength, define his limits, and tempt him to the dark side. The city is the perfect opportunity to showcase structures of power and new technologies. Think of Mos Eisley in Star Wars, even Los Angeles in Terminator, and Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. In a way the city is how the medieval-renaissance writers envisioned dystopia: it is as manufactured as it comes, far away from our roots in nature and from our connection to the divine and the mystical. Cities have that unnatural element which makes them ideal backdrops for these narratives which test our humanity.
With a forlorn but believably confused Colin Farrell as the man who cannot recall his past.

If you like A1 steak sauce you have to give this recipe a try. This is a simple and quick recipe so you can have it on the supper table in less than an hour.
This recipe was adapted from A1, so I used their steak sauce, but I am sure any good quality steak sauce would work out fine. The original recipe did not have salt and pepper in the ingredients so I added them, but you might want to add the salt and pepper to taste especially if you are using a different brand of steak sauce.
The next time you’re looking for a simple and quick recipe give this Ground Steak and Cheddar Potato Pie Recipe a try; it’s really good.
Ground Steak and Cheddar Potato Pie Recipe
- 1 pound ground round or ground sirloin
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- ¼ cup steak sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (hot – about 4 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Cook and prepare the potatoes; and mash.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- While the potatoes are cooking in a large skillet over medium-high heat brown the burger and onions in the olive oil until burger is no longer pink inside, salt and pepper to taste; and drain if needed. Add the steak sauce and continue cooking until mixture is bubbly and heated through. Place the meat mixture in the bottom of a 1 ½ quart casserole dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
- Fold the shredded cheese into the mashed potatoes and spoon the mixture over the top of the meat.
- Bake 15-20 or until heated through. Serve hot.


PORTLAND, Maine — Thousands of Maine-made wreaths are being distributed at Arlington National Cemetery.
All told, 11 truckloads of greenery from Worcester Wreath Co. made their way to the cemetery outside Washington, D.C. Maine first lady Ann LePage planned to be on hand Saturday as the wreaths are laid on headstones.

Union wants more flexible enrolments for students
Updated at 9:46 am on 4 March 2011
The Union of Students' Associations says some universities have refused to enrol students fleeing earthquake-ravaged Christchurch.
The union says they need to be more flexible and take a common approach.
It says they should adopt a consistent exchange system so students can enrol easily but return to the University of Canterbury later in the year if they want to.
The union also says universities should waive their normal prerequisites and limits on enrolments in order to accommodate Canterbury students.
Though the viability of Canterbury is important, it says, so too is the welfare of students wanting to fully transfer to another university.

For the past year, a D.C.-based nonprofit organization called One Tent Health has been offering free “pop-up” HIV testing in neighborhoods across the city in a canvas tent that its mostly volunteer workers set up in parking lots of grocery and convenience stores.
The group’s CEO and co-founder, MacKenzie Copley, has said he and its other co-founder, David Schaffer, who serves as policy director, set out to provide HIV testing on weekends to enable a its large team of student volunteers to carry out the testing at a fraction of the cost of using a van or other specialized vehicle.
“We partner with local grocery and convenience stores, bring a 10 foot by 10 foot canvas tent directly into high risk areas of the city and, with over 300 undergraduate volunteers, provide screening in 15 minutes or less,” Copley told the Washington Blade.
“We’ll have over 600 volunteers within the next three weeks and we even just partnered with Grindr, who’s going to let all of its D.C. users know where we’ll be each weekend,” Copley said in a Sept. 10 email to the Blade. “To boot, everyone in our organization is 26 or younger,” he said.
Michael Kharfen, director of the D.C. HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Administration, known as HAHSTA, said his office provides One Tent Health with HIV test kits and helps train the group’s volunteers on how to perform the tests and counsel people who get tested.
On its website, One Tent Health says it also provides those who stop by its tent with information about the HIV prevention medication known as PrEP. It says it also has a partnership with Whitman-Walker Health, the city’s largest private health care organization that provides HIV-related treatment and services, including access to PrEP.
Kharfen said that similar to all HIV testing centers that use the rapid oral HIV test, those who test positive at One Tent Health are referred to another facility where they receive a confirmatory HIV blood test. Whitman-Walker is among the health centers that provides confirmatory tests.
“Having launched HIV screening in October 2017, One Tent Health hopes to provide HIV screening to at least 4,000 of Washington, D.C.’s most at-risk residents in 2018 by the District’s Metro stops, parks, grocery stores, homeless shelters, and community centers,” the group says on its website.

Even though I LOVE fabric, I don't absolutely love every quilt I see. When it comes to this pottery however, I want one of every single piece in the store. The names of the stores are a blur, but La Paloma, hiding out behind the museum, is a treasure trove of Talavera pottery. They also have this beautiful tree just for photographers.
Most of this pottery is hand painted, but they use stencils for the designs. This particular store has a few pieces of pottery that are actually painted by hand with no pattern other than what's in the artist's head.
You have to be a good shopper here, as the stores vary widely in prices. On the other hand, if you see it and don't buy it immediately, it will be bought by someone else, as happened to me last year with the gecko I wanted.
If you want the best prices on Talavera, go to The Country Store on Will Rogers Lane first. If you don't find what you want, then venture out to the other stores.
Although not really visible, this man made of rusted metal has a deers head. What a great yard decoration!! No use purchasing something like this until I move .... actually my car is full already!!
Here's what I mean by pricing items .... I purchased a really nice lotion dispenser in this store, Los Canteros for $15. The store around the corner had the exact same thing for $10.50. RATS!!!!!
I'll show you all my purchases later, which did NOT include this beauty. I LOVE it ... but $125 was a little over my budget.
There's more than just pottery in Tubac ... I picked up a beautiful long black vest (made in the USA) and considered this kachina-type doll, but decided I had plenty of supplies to make this myself for MUCH less than the $75 price.
Since we knew Dan would starve without dinner, we finally drug ourselves away from Tubac to find the winds had picked up considerably. A big storm was in the forecast, followed closely by 20 degree temperatures!! I'm sure I made a wrong turn somewhere ... this CAN'T be Arizona!
By 4:30 when we arrived home, the Vail Gale was in full force. It took two hands on the door to my rig to keep it from being blown off the hinges!! Dan's big tractor in the driveway roped to the sun screen behind his RV should have been a sign!!
After a mighty tasty dinner of squash soup and toasted chibata bread, I went to bed at 9:00. By 11 the wind was whipping the slide tops so hard I closed both big slides. Just as I finally nodded off at 2 am the rain hit. Oh well, I didn't need any sleep anyway!!
I'm sure a tornado went through as the wind made everything moan and groan, causing the puppies to bunch up under my arms. Darks skies this morning will bring rain and nastiness all day. I think I'll stay inside and unpack all the Talavera I purchased so I can show you my treasures!!


CONICIT FOR MAINFRAME
FOR YOUR MAINFRAME
With your mainframe machine controlling the core of your business, it’s critical for you to recognize performance issues as soon as they start to evolve. The sooner you know about a problem, the better chances you have to prevent any bad influence on your business. With traditional monitors you often know about a problem only when it already has a prominent effect on your system. Even if you’re using the best monitors for your need it’s not feasible for your personnel to constantly watch hundreds of monitor pages. On the other hand, putting static thresholds is not practical and leads to putting thresholds that are too high. Defining reasonable static thresholds is not feasible and leads to thousands of alerts per day.
ConicIT brings a solution which is based on advanced machine-learning technology which automatically studies the normal behavior of thousands performance metrics.
ConicIT is analyzing the behavior of each variable based on the day of the week and the hour of the day, and creating a profile that represents the expected behavior of each metric. On top of that ConicIT applies state of the art algorithms for real time recognition of situations where the metrics clearly exceed their normal behavior (with either too high or too low values). This provides ConicIT the ability to recognize anomaly in performance metrics even before pick time and much before the problem effects your service level.
ConicIT customers gain a peace of mind, knowing that ConicIT is constantly watching their system, and knowing that ConicIT will provide them plenty of information for analyzing the root cause of a problem once it appears. ConicIT for Mainframe allows your IT stuff to be more effective in recognizing and analyzing performance problems, and also allows them to improve efficiency of existing processes, thus reducing the overall load on your mainframe. Often there are processes that are using extremely excessive resources, but it’s very hard to trace such processes without ConicIT, because these processes might not cause critical effect on the SLA. However recognizing such problems and fixing them improves the overall performance of your system.
ConicIT is not intending to replace your original monitors, but actually comes on top of them. Monitors are critical tools for mainframe staff. They are used to manage business critical applications, transactions, databases, operations, performance and availability. Without monitors staff is blind to the state of their systems, and that is why you won’t find a mainframe shop without its bevy of monitors. Monitors are how mainframe staff gets their job done.
However, even with all their utility, mainframe monitors have three major drawbacks:
- 1) No historical data capabilities
- 2) No cross monitor integration (e.g. one monitor for CICS, another for DB2, and yet another for z/OS)
- 3) No built-in deep analysis to discover and predict performance problems
ConicIT, the leader in mainframe behavioral analysis and predictive analytics is changing that with ConicIT for Mainframe and with the latest announcement of ConicIT for Splunk™.
State of the art proven system
for performance anomaly detection
ConicIT is constantly reading thousands of performance metrics from your mainframe monitors, analyzing them, and applying unique machine learning algorithms for studying and predicting the normal behavior of the metrics at each day and hour. Based on these algorithms ConicIT recognizes when something goes wrong, and sends proactive alerts about performance issues much before they affect your business. Along with the alerts, ConicIT provides information which allows you to quickly trace the problems and to solve them.
ConicIT also generates calculated-variables
ConicIT has endless abilities for processing the data and for creating calculated metrics. ConicIT can process and alert on both raw metrics from the mainframe and on calculated metrics. Such metrics can be ratios between variables, rate in which some variables are changing (e.g. CPU-Time), or any other calculated variables that you need. For example, if your monitor provides CPU-Time from IPL for each started-task, ConicIT can calculate the delta CPU-Time during each minute, and thus provide the real-time CPU consumption of that started-task. Another example is aggregation of data about resources usage and showing how many transactions are waiting for each resource.
Unified UI for watching
all of your performance data
With ConicIT you can see clear presentation of all performance graphs and tables, which can originate from different systems. You can easily see historical variables, see the normal behavior versus the actual behavior of each metric, compare between different metrics, and see detailed information about your system when you need to analyze some problem.
Alerts from ConicIT to various targets
ConicIT provides few channels for receiving its proactive performance alerts. You can receive these alerts through
any of the following channels:
- – Windows application running on your system tray and popping up any new alert
- – Alerts to SplunkTM
- – SNMP traps to your SNMP server
- – Alerts file
- – Web-service
No agent is required
ConicIT is connecting to your mainframe as a user with limited permissions, through TN3270 protocol, and reading information directly from your monitors (TMON, Sysview, Omegamon, MainView, TSO, and others). No agent is installed on your mainframe
Quick and easy configuration
ConicIT is easy to configure, since it provides easy way to parse mainframe screens, and allow easy application of any required logic and calculations. Since ConicIT has powerful algorithms for recognizing anomalies, you don’t need to investigate and define static threshold.
Fetching data from various sources
ConicIT is not limited for mainframe data, and can bring data from various sources in order to analyze and present the data.
without affecting performance
ConicIT is installed on an off-system Linux server (available also for zLinux), and only interacts with the monitors on your mainframe, thus the effect of ConicIT on your mainframe is similar for the effect of regular user paging through specific pages in the monitors interface. Due to its architecture, ConicIT doesn’t need to install any agent, and performs all of its calculations on the Linux box, without affecting your mainframe performance.
