INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A famous band will “start it up” in a special way after the green flag waves at Sunday’s 99th run of the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
IndyCar Driver Justin Wilson’s Andretti Autosport No. 25 car will be wrapped in a full front-to-back Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour theme for the race.
Wilson said he was excited to have the Rolling Stones featured on his car.
“For the biggest race of the year, to have one of the biggest rock bands in history is just incredible. Listening to the Rolling Stones was a Sunday tradition in our house. We would wake up and my Dad would have the music on full blast. I’m really excited and cannot wait to unveil the car,” said Wilson.
The ZIP CODE tour kicks off on Sunday in San Diego and will tour 15 U.S. cities, including Indianapolis on July 4 at IMS.

Why the Feds Can't Nail Bad Cops
The acquittal of eight Detroit cops and a Miami cop of federal corruption and civil rights charges was no surprise. It once again points up the near impossibility of convicting brutal and corrupt cops even when there is strong evidence of guilt. In the Detroit case, dozens of witnesses, and that included Detroit officers who pleaded guilty to the same charges and agreed to testify for the government, testified that the officers lied, falsified reports and planted evidence. In the Miami case the officer was charged with lying to cover-up the shooting of an alleged unarmed suspect. It was the second time he was charged with lying in a shooting case. Even though he was acquitted in the first case, the city was forced to shell out more than $2 million to the victim's family.
But evidence, suspicions, witness testimony, and prior bad records mean little when cops are on trial, and it's easy to see why. Their victims are generally poor blacks and Latinos, and the attorneys that defend cops accused of abusing them almost always are A-team attorneys. They are highly skilled, and have had much experience defending police officers accused of misconduct. They seek to get as many whites on a jury as possible. The presumption is that white jurors are much more likely to be middle-class, and conservative, and much more likely to believe the testimony of police and prosecution witnesses than black witnesses, defendants, or even the victims. The same rule applies to black or Latino jurors, and both were well represented in the Miami and Detroit cases. They are generally middle-class, and share the same biases, and negative attitudes toward those they perceive as "the criminal element" as many whites.
Prosecutors have a big task in trying to overcome these pro-police, racial attitudes and perceptions. Studies show that many whites believe that blacks are more likely to engage in criminal conduct than whites. A 2003 Penn State University study found that many whites are likely to associate pictures of blacks with violent crimes, and in some cases where crimes were not committed by blacks they misidentified the perpetrator as an African-American.
The frequent media portrayal of young blacks and Latinos as crime-prone, drug-dealing gangsters, the gang and murder violence that continues to wrack many black neighborhoods, and the glorification of the thug lifestyle by many young blacks reinforces negative racial perceptions. This makes many whites, non-blacks and even many blacks guarded, suspicious and fearful of blacks. And with public respect and reverence for the police at astronomical highs since the September 11 terror attacks, it's even harder to convince many jurors that some police lie, beat, maim and even kill unarmed suspects.
Then there's the problem of getting federal prosecutors to mount a vigorous prosecution against bad cops. The Justice Department has long had on the books a strong arsenal of civil rights statutes to prosecute abusive police officers. Yet, more often than not it has taken major press attention, large-scale protests and even a major riot, such as the L.A. riots in 1992 following the Rodney King verdict, before it used its legal weapons.
But federal prosecutors say they can't nail more cops involved in dubious shootings or for abuse because they are hamstrung by the lack of funds and staff, victims who aren't perceived as criminals, and credible witnesses; plus the public's inclination to always believe police testimony. They also claim they are pinned in by the almost impossible requirement that they prove an officer had the specific intent to kill or injure a victim in order to get a conviction.
These are tough obstacles to overcome and since the Justice Department is in the business of winning cases, many prosecutors are more than happy to take a hands-off attitude toward police misconduct cases.
Still, this is no excuse for federal prosecutors not to at least make the effort to prosecute more officers when there is substantial evidence that they used excessive force. This is the legally and morally right thing to do. And it sends a powerful message to law enforcement agencies that the federal government will go after lawbreakers no matter whether they wear a mask, or a badge.
The prosecutions in the Detroit and Miami cases, even though failed, or compromised, still send a strong message that unrestrained acts by violence-prone cops won't be tolerated. This puts police and city officials on notice that they must take stronger action to halt the use of excessive force in their departments.
Federal prosecutors, at least in those cities, should be applauded for doing their best to nail cops suspected of abuse. The fact that they didn't win this time doesn't mean that they shouldn't keep trying to put cops that break the law behind bars.

Law enforcement officers are being killed on duty more often, both locally and nationwide.
There has been a 43 percent increase in the number of officers who died on duty in the first half of 2010, compared with the same time period last year, according to data released Wednesday by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Eighty-seven officers across the country were killed in the first six months of 2010, up from 61 officers last year.
In Maryland, three officers have been killed so far this year. None were killed in 2009. Two Virginia officers have died in 2010, while three were killed all of last year. No officers died on duty in the District in either year.
All three of Maryland's deaths this year occurred locally. The Virginia deaths took place in Spotsylvania and Richmond.
Prince George's County Officer Thomas Jensen and Montgomery County Officer Hector Ayala were both killed in car accidents while responding to incidents. Maryland State Police Trooper Wesley Brown was shot in Prince George's County. He was off-duty, but was working a security detail at an Applebee's restaurant at the time.
Two officer deaths in the county in such a short time period is "shocking" said Maj. Andrew Ellis, a Prince George's police spokesman.
"It's disturbing that what we have seen in Prince George's County is following a nationwide trend," he added.
The last five officers killed in Montgomery County, dating back to 1993, died in vehicle accidents.
Lucille Bauer, a Montgomery County police spokeswoman, said police vehicles get regular maintenance and officers receive ongoing driving training.
"These losses serve as reminders of the tragic consequences that can occur in performing routine law enforcement duties," she said.
Nationwide, traffic-related deaths jumped 35 percent for the first six months of the year.
Kevin Morison, a fund spokesman, noted that this year's increases come after deaths reached a historic low last year. In 2009, 116 officers died in the line of duty, the lowest yearly total since 1959.
It's too early to tell whether the 2010 increases are an anomaly or signal a larger trend, Morison said.
He said the organization hopes the midyear numbers will discourage municipalities from cutting funds for training and equipment and will make drivers more attentive when they see police cruisers or officers on the side of the road.

Russian Thesauri as Linked Open Data
Open linguistic data is a good recently established trend allowing both researchers and developers in the field of natural language processing to create their own applications using high-quality dictionaries, thesauri, corpora, etc. At the same time, the published open data are stored in different formats making them difficult to be used in an efficient way without falling within vendor lock-in.
This work is devoted to the problem of representing popular lexical resources of the Russian language in the form of Linked Open Data. It proposes an approach to converting popular Russian thesauri to the vocabularies that are the essential parts of the Linguistic Linked Open Data Cloud. The proposed approach has been implemented in open source software and the resulted dataset has been made publicly available on NLPub in the Turtle format under the terms of a Creative Commons license.
The three following Russian thesauri have been converted to Linked Data and made available through this website:

Steel reinforcements are commonly used to strengthen rubber hoses which are used in high pressure applications in field of engineering. It has been found through experiments that reinforced hoses becomes very stiff when subjected to pressure. Thus, there is a requirement to model reinforcements which would predict the effect of stiffening. Modelling helically wounded reinforcements are the main focus of the work.
Deformation of helically reinforced rubber hoses under pressure depend on the helix angle at which the reinforcement is laid around the hose.
The current study is carried out at Fraunhofer Chalmers Centre and uses its in-house solver to perform numerical calculations and additional functionalities have been added to the solver to model reinforcements.
The reinforcements are generally modeled using one dimensional elements which are incorporated inside a volume model of rubber. In this work, truss elements are formulated to model reinforcements. Primarily, two models have been implemented namely the coupled model which models rubber and reinforcements separately with a spring constraint on the their displacements to couple them together and an embedded model which involves adding the stiffness contribution of the 1D model to the 3D model. Other simplified models have also been considered.
The effect of the neutral angle at which the reinforced hose does not deform has been captured by all the models with the coupled and embedded models having a good agreement with the theoretical value. Further, bending and torsion experiments are simulated using the coupled model.
The results of these simulations shows that the model is able to demonstrate the stiffening effect of reinforced hoses and that there is a dependency between pressure and the stiffness of the hose.

Fast food and childhood obesity. How Fast Food Affects Children's Health? 2022-10-27
Fast food and childhood obesity
Fast food and childhood obesity have been linked in many studies and are considered to be major contributors to the obesity epidemic in the United States. Fast food is a type of food that is designed to be quick, convenient, and affordable. It is typically high in calories, fat, and sugar and low in nutrients, making it a poor choice for regular consumption. Children who consume fast food regularly are at an increased risk of becoming overweight or obese, which can have serious consequences for their health and well-being.
The rise in popularity of fast food has coincided with the increase in childhood obesity rates. Fast food restaurants are often found in close proximity to schools, making it easy for children to access unhealthy foods on a daily basis. In addition, the marketing tactics used by fast food companies often target children, with advertisements and promotions that are designed to appeal to their tastes and interests. This can make it difficult for parents to encourage their children to make healthier food choices.
The consequences of childhood obesity are significant and can have a lasting impact on a child's health. Overweight and obese children are at an increased risk of developing health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. They may also experience social and emotional problems, such as low self-esteem and bullying.
There are several ways that parents can help to prevent their children from becoming overweight or obese, including limiting their consumption of fast food and encouraging them to engage in regular physical activity. Parents can also model healthy behaviors by making healthy food choices themselves and by encouraging their children to try new fruits and vegetables. It is also important for parents to be supportive and encouraging, rather than critical or judgmental, as this can help children to feel more confident and motivated to make healthy lifestyle choices.
In conclusion, fast food and childhood obesity are closely linked, with fast food being a major contributor to the obesity epidemic in the United States. To help prevent childhood obesity, it is important for parents to encourage their children to make healthy food choices and to engage in regular physical activity. By making these changes, parents can help their children to lead healthier, happier lives.
Fast Food Consumption and Obesity
If there is no evidence that obesity rates fall in those countries that ban food advertising to children, why bother? This includes teaching your children about the importance of balanced meals and snacks and helping them to make choices that are in their best interests. However, two approaches — social norms marketing and tobacco industry denormalisation — could provide more constructive and less problematic applications of the denormalisation strategy and may therefore have a role to play in the pursuit of public health. McDonald's Company: Marketing and Obesity First, denormalisation strategies may contribute to the stigmatisation of smokers. And as you might expect, frequency matters when it comes to the impact of junk food on your health. One of the main reasons McDonald's has been linked to obesity is because of the large portion sizes of their meals. Children with a sustained over-energy consumption of about 2% develop obesity over time.

This is especially true for women, who seem to experience more mental side effects from a poor diet.
Childhood obesity linked to proximity of fast
The fast-food industry has been linked with obesity in children for many reasons. In other words, all this interferes with the functioning of your heart. Obesity increases your risk for respiratory problems, including asthma and shortness of breath. Since its introduction to the United States, fast food has risen in popularity to become a prominent role-player in the everyday diet of children. In an accompany editorial in the same issue of Pediatrics, Dr. Parents can help their children lose weight by providing healthy foods and activities, setting a good example, and encouraging them to be active. Unhealthful Ingredients Much fast food contains a significant amount of sugar, fat, starch, and fewer minerals and vitamins.
Why Your Child Should Help Prepare Meals
Once habits that lead to obesity take hold, they are hard to break. According to it, a diet containing 2,000 calories of fast food costs much less than a diet containing 2,000 calories of nutritious food. Fast-food lovers consumed more fats, sugars and carbohydrates and fewer fruits and non-starchy vegetables than youngsters who didn't eat fast food. Obesity has become a major health issue in recent years, and fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's, have been the subject of criticism for their role in contributing to this problem. Childhood obesity is a serious issue because children who are obese are predisposed to have many health problems and diseases in their childhood and adulthood.
Is the fast food industry to blame for childhood obesity?
The fruit and yogurt parfait, a heart-friendly option, demonstrated to be very unpopular, only purchased by 1. Iliana Nguyen is a Biochemistry and Cell Biology major from John Muir College. This is because most fast foods are intended for children. According to a study published in Pediatrics Journal, youth who consume fast food on a typical day consumed greater amounts of saturated fat, sodium, carbohydrate, and sugars and less dietary fiber than those who do not eat fast food. How junk food can cause risk of child obesity? Also, a majority of college campuses are located near or contain a fast food restaurant where students can buy food at a low cost.

“We love a challenge,” states Stephen Hoey, an “Old World craftsman with Twenty-First Century tools” and president of KDF Custom Graphics in Rockleigh, New Jersey. “Usually our challenges come in the form of a tight schedule, a difficult design, or a slew of creative ideas that need to be quickly conceptualized, sifted through, and executed on.”
However KDF not only had to solve all these aforementioned challenges on a recent project, but they also had to deliver an extremely detailed custom dimensional sign featuring layers of HDU, steel tubing, and LED modules.
And they had eight days to build and install it for a restaurant in time to greet patrons on St. Patrick’s Day. “So we were going to earn our pint of Guinness on this one!” says Hoey.
First Course: Getting Started
A year ago, KDF had successfully designed, printed, and wrapped vinyl graphics onto a Bailey’s Smokehouse van. Because of this, the restaurant owners told Hoey they’d keep his company in mind for any future projects.
Bailey’s Smokehouse in Blauvelt, New York has earned a reputation as one of the best BBQ places in the area, and its owners are always on the lookout to make their restaurant even better. But one thing causing them fits was an old light box hanging over the restaurant’s original front door. “It didn’t look good any more, nor was it functioning properly,” explains Hoey, “so they removed it.”
However this left the owners with an empty space. So a year after the van wrap, they tapped KDF with a bigger request—a complete logo redesign and brand-new custom sign!
KDF is far from your traditional sign shop. Their well-rounded employees are always pushing their creative limits when it comes to large and wide format graphics, flatbed printing, wraps, dimensional signage, and custom fabrications in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut areas.
Hoey told the owners upfront that they could do either inexpensive, reverse-printed graphics to cover the empty light box space or create something that would “blow everyone’s minds.”
Fortunately for all involved, the owners eagerly opted for the latter.
(Note: Bailey’s Smokehouse gave KDF carte blanche in the sign and logo design.)
Here Hoey promised them the “best sign that anyone had ever seen” but admits he gave them what he considered a decent estimate without really knowing how his shop was going to build it. “We always go in promising a lot, however we want to make sure that we’re going to hit it out of the park and give them even more than what we promise,” says Hoey.
Second Course: Designing the Logo
KDF’s idea was to redesign the Bailey’s Smokehouse logo first and then use it as springboard for building the “best anyone has ever seen” sign.
There was a lot of back-and-forth over the course of three to four days during the logo design stages, trying to figure out the textures and feel. The restaurant owners wanted a logo that was traditional but high end. But the design team wanted to include elements that would appear cool in a finished sign.
“We incorporated everything that was important to the client—the fonts, the colors, the overall theme etc.—and then kicked it up a notch,” Hoey states, noting that they successfully convinced the owners to add items like filigrees to the finished logo.
Most of the new logo is an original KDF design. The only thing kept from the original logo was the font. “Since it had that desired high-end look, everyone agreed to keep it,” says Hoey.
Because there were so many elements, the KDF graphics department created the logo and signage ideas in a vector format using Adobe® Illustrator®.
Third Course: Constructing the Sign
With the logo design finalized and approved, it was time to build the sign from it.
The finished double-sided Bailey’s Smokehouse sign resembles a grill (all KDF’s idea). It measures forty-two inches high-by-seventy-six inches wide and is about sixteen inches deep. (Note: Originally the sign was supposed to have been even bigger, but city officials didn’t approve it.)
The large “Bailey’s” letters were cut out of one-inch-thick fifteen-pound Precision Board HDU. In fact, most of the sign was made from fifteen- and thirty-pound Precision Board HDU. The only things that weren’t are the smaller “Smokehouse” letters (1/2-inch black PVC) and the grill portion (steel tubing).
Hoey is adamant not letting budget dictate the need for cheaper substrates. In fact, they always consider the best materials in the initial estimate. “We want these signs to last,” he says.
At the start of production, two teams were designated for this project: (A.) Hoey and Production Coordinator Mark Pilcher would design the sign parts in EnRoute Pro and cut them on the MultiCam 3000 CNC router, and (B.) Business Development Manager Brian Hamilton and Shop Manager Greg Gardula would fabricate and paint the sign pieces.
The first layer of the sign was cut out of two-inch-thick fifteen-pound Precision Board on the MultiCam 3000 CNC router. KDF created a middle layer of HDU and cut a pocket into it out of a steel hanger.
On the MultiCam 3000, KDF used a 1/8-inch ball end mill around the top and bottom of the filigree areas. On larger pieces, KDF started with a half-inch end mill and then took off all the material on the rough pass. Depending on how much detail was needed, they next came in with a smaller ball end mill and added texture to them.
Hoey worked out the depth of the overall sign and programmed the basic shape of the face and ribbon with the text in EnRoute Pro. After cutting, he sent the carved HDU to Hamilton for some hand sculpting to remove the “machine cut” look.
In addition to detailing the ribbons and face of the sign, Hoey extruded the accent lines on the font. “Then I cut a pocket into the ribbon to easily register the letters, which I cut separately,” he explains.
KDF 3D-cut the face of the ribbons and left the accent lines of the font on the ribbon. “This way, it would create a dramatic depth when placing the letters,” says Hoey.
The letters are mounted to the sign via custom stand-offs that Hamilton fabricated himself.
Fourth Course: The Grill
The grill section of the sign was built in layers from scratch. Hamilton made these grills out of one-inch steel tubing. “Even though you can’t see 60 percent of it, the grill is full-size,” reaffirms Hoey.
The steel tubes were eventually glued into the frame. Hamilton welded a set of posts all around the back of it. “Because of this, it had a really nice seat,” says Hoey. “We had to put this together and take it apart multiple times for fitting purposes and things like that.”
After bending the outside tubing around the form, Hamilton welded it.
Look closely and you’ll notice glowing charcoal pieces underneath the grill tubes. KDF created these 3-D carvings on their MultiCam 3000. Hamilton then went in with a die-grinder (“a wonderful tool”) to give them a lot more definition.
KDF placed red and yellow LEDs on the inside contour of the frame below the grill, as well as along the bottom of the sign interior. “The LEDs are tucked up underneath, following around the curve of the bottom and coming up underneath the ‘Bailey’s’ on top,” explains Hoey. “It casts light perfectly over those faux-coals.”
They placed the LEDs in this fashion because people walking underneath the sign were going to be able to look up and see right through it. “We wanted it to feel like you were looking into a real grill,” says Hoey.
Fifth Course: The Painting
The sign was disassembled and reassembled plenty of times during sculpting, in order to make sure everything fit the way it was supposed. Hamilton sanded a lot of the sign and then registered all the parts and pinned them. Then he disassembled everything again, so he could apply priming.
The entire sign was painted using Matthews Paint Systems, as well as with a gloss overcoat. KDF had to finish all the pieces separately. “There’s so much depth when you look at this,” remarks Hoey. “Everything had to be painted separately and then put together for clear-coating.”
(Note: Hamilton also touched up the “warmed up” area on the left and right sides of the bottom ribbon, by experimenting with warm airbrush colors.)
Painting was achieved multiple ways. The small pieces were all painted on tables. “Once assembly started, we hung the pieces from a piece of steel attached the ceiling, so we could paint both sides,” he says.
Hoey usually pockets out where all the text is going to go on a sign, then paints everything and inserts the letters afterwards. But because of the font type being used, this wasn’t going to be easy to do. “So we pocketed out where part of the font was and then cut a thin line onto the face of the Precision Board that follows the rest of the font,” he explains.
Hamilton painted all the grills and welded them onto the framework. He also hand-painted the gold details and the filigree.
Sixth Course: Installing the Sign
After painting, the PVC letters were stud-mounted to the HDU. Everything else (the front face pieces and the grill) was either glued or screwed to the sign.
The finished sign weighs 200 pounds and was rolled out the garage doors to where KDF’s bucket truck picked it up and placed it on its bed for transportation.
It currently hangs approximately twenty feet off the ground on a giant L bracket over the original front entrance of the restaurant. The three-inch steel L brackets were attached to the building via a bucket truck a few days before the install. That way, KDF would only have to focus on delivering and installing the finished sign on the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day (on a Monday this year).
The power supply for the LEDs is mounted inside the L bracket frame, and an electrician ran the power from it to the source from their old light box.
Before the install, KDF took some final measurements to be on the safe side. They then rope-tied the sign to the bucket truck and lifted it up. “I was on the ground with a guide rope, Installer John Friscia worked the bucket, and [Hamilton] was on the roof guiding the sign into place” says Hoey.
KDF had to make sure they set up their bucket truck in a location where they could not only pick up the 200-pound sign but also be able to level it right at the L bracket. “Because there’s a curve on the top of the sign, we had our threaded rod coming up just a little bit above the top of that curve,” explains Hoey. “We needed to make sure we were literally right at the connecting points.”
Installation lasted about five hours. “They were really busy that day, which was kind of cool,” remarks Hoey, “because a lot of people out there were passing by and commenting on how amazing the new sign looked.”
In the end, installation went smoothly. “There’s a wire harness on the building as well, which helped,” says Hoey, noting with a smile that working only feet away from Guinness and smoked BBQ caused its own personal challenge.
Seventh Course: After-Dinner Talk
Bailey’s Smokehouse is located in an older house, and the owners have slowly been trying to update its appearance. “Now that they’ve got this nice, new sign with its ribbons and filigrees, they’re pushing to make the exterior redo happen a little bit quicker,” says Hoey.
Hoey believes that working with clients open to doing something different are the best kind of customers. “This allowed us the opportunity to come up with the coolest sign to design and build for them,” he states. “We were able to keep the traditional look they wanted but also add creative touches (like the glowing grill) to it.”
The client’s reaction was priceless. “They’d never seen anything like it before,” boasts Hoey. “They thought it was going to be something traditional or even v-bit carved. They had no idea!”
And for KDF, they were just as excited constructing something super-fun. “While building this sign,” says Hoey, “we just loved knowing that it was going to blow the owners away when they saw it.
“We couldn’t have been happier!”

Choosing the right blinds for your home can be an overwhelming task. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start.
Consider the Purpose
Before diving into the selection process, it's important to consider the purpose of each room. Is it a bedroom where you need privacy and light control? Or a living area where you want to let in natural light? Understanding the purpose of the room will help narrow down your options and guide your decision-making process.
Pot lights, also known as recessed lights, are a popular lighting choice for homeowners looking to add a sleek and modern touch to their space. Whether you want to brighten up a room or create a specific ambiance, pot lights can be a great addition to your home. However, the installation process can be a bit daunting for beginners. This guide will cover the basics of pot light installation, providing an understanding of the steps involved to ensure a successful installation.
Currently, the world is watching spring transition into summer in North America. Flowers are bursting into bloom, trees are leafing toward the sky, and the sunsets are becoming more and more beautiful each day. More people than ever are looking to travel, and when they do travel, they take their time. The Covid-19 pandemic put quite a heavy damper on travel plans, especially plans that involved leaving the country and staying for lengthy periods of time.
Custom kitchen cabinets can improve your kitchen's looks and functionality, as well as increase your home's value. If your kitchen is small or has an unusual layout, having custom cabinets built to your specifications will make the best use of the space you have available while making the space more inviting. While custom kitchen cabinets are more expensive than stock cabinets, there will be less wasted space in the kitchen, which ultimately makes them a great choice for many homes, regardless of the age or style of the home.
When it comes to cabinets, the phrase 'high-end' is often used to describe cabinets that are better in some way than others, but what exactly constitutes 'high-end' in a cabinet? Here's what you need to know.
The quality of the materials used in the construction of a cabinet has a lot to do with whether or not it is high-end.
Solid wood. High-end cabinets are typically made from solid wood rather than particle board or other materials.

SAP HANA dashboards give users the flexibility to interact with SAP Business One like never before. Learn more about the customization options available.
What’s one thing that successful businesses have in common? Good decision making, and at the core of sound reasoning is access to accurate, real-time information. The SAP HANA: The HANA Difference Webinar Series aims to explain the many ways that SAP HANA can empower small to midsized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprise subsidiaries with real-time information and analytic tools for better decision making.
SAP Business One version for SAP HANA offers many benefits and key features including transformative database management, advanced analytics to visualize through text, spatial, graph and series data, in memory analytics as well as next-generation applications. In part one, host of Vision33 TOTAL Care Wednesday Webchat, Carl Lewis, presented an equally beneficial area of the application, user customization through SAP HANA dashboards.
Many SAP HANA Dashboards to Choose From
Users who are familiar with cockpits from SAP Business One, will be happy to note that it is possible to also view SAP HANA from a cockpit layout. Activating the function from administration enables users to choose from many preconfigured ‘cockpits’ which are essentially alternate layouts of the main screen of SAP Business One version for SAP HANA. This view provides convenient access to reports, functions, and messages relevant to the user’s role in a company.
Users can very easily customize the home cockpit, which appears by default with commonly used functions. This can be done by dragging with the mouse modules from the left menu, such as A/R Invoice for instance, over to the Common Functions box. Custom cockpits allow the users to reduce the time it takes to access functions that are buried deep within the menu structure of SAP HANA. Some example dashboard widgets include things like, Top 5 Best Selling Items by Sales Amount, Top 5 Customers by Sales Amount, and Sales Employees Performance Targets. Another benefit is that when the user next logs into the system, SAP HANA will remember the users’ preferences for the dashboard.
SAP HANA is About User Convenience
From the SAP HANA tool menu users can also create their own cockpit from the ground up with Cockpit Management setup. Users can also add and remove widgets to the screen using the Widget Gallery. Open Documents widget can also be customized to include ‘sales orders’ for instance. Now, instead of navigating to open sales order, user can open them up with a single click.
The home screen’s browser widget can also be customized from the main screen. In the settings, users can change it to display a website within SAP Business One so that users don’t have to leave the application. SAP HANA provides many more dashboards than are available in the Microsoft Sequel database version of SAP Business One to help SMEs. SAP HANA KPIs and dashboard widgets offering is very robust.
Fiori-Style Cockpit (Exclusive to SAP HANA)
Through the administration tab, users can also choose the new “Fiori-Style” Cockpit. Only available in SAP HANA, this desktop this is the newest interface for SAP Business One that shines the spotlight on the advanced analytic performance of SAP HANA. Like the other dashboard, users can add widgets to the browsing screen, there are many KPIs to choose from here. The common functions widget still works the same. The big difference however is the interactivity and ease of access to real-time data. In other dashboards it would take much longer to access. Here, the process is streamlined. Sales orders are interactive in this view for instance with a process map that is live. Clicking on the map allows users to see sales orders with reports associated with them.
A New Level of Customization
The keyword here is convenience, as the Fiori interface can be customized by clicking on the pencil icon in the top right corner of the screen. From here user can click on the plus sign, where they will be presented with the gallery. From here you can see many prepared widget reports to add to the Fiori-Style Cockpit. Things like Payables Overdue, Net Profit Margin, and Net Cash Flow just to name a few. There are also many “workbenches,” which outline processes like the sales giving users a live view into the various stages, inventory management, and financial processes. Many are interactive as well with one-click access to order associated documents. Users can also create their own KPIs.
SAP HANA is the in-memory computing platform for SAP Business One that supercharges the application performance for speed and allows you to analyze massive amounts of data in real-time. To learn more about the SAP HANA dashboards, watch the webinar.

Make Your Own Break: How to Record & Publish Your Audiobook In Seven Simple Steps by Jennifer Lieberman
‘Today many people are “reading” more than ever thanks to audiobooks’
Canadian author Jennifer Lieberman earned her degree in Philosophy from York University, Toronto, Canada and in addition to writing she is an actress, appearing in stage productions in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Europe and Australia, a film producer, screenwriter and playwright. She has gained a large audience for her solo show – “Year of the Slut” – and her books YEAR OF THE WHAT?, MAKE YOUR OWN BREAK – HOW TO MASTER YOUR VIRTUAL MEETINGS, and this book HOW TO RECORD AND PUBLISH YOUR AUDIO BOOK. Jennifer appears on a YouTube vlog ‘I Never Thought I Would…” interviewing authors about pushing boundaries.
Writing in a format that directly addresses the reader (aka writer!), Jennifer address each stage of creating an audiobook, that ever more popular form of ‘reading’ a book while walking or running or while driving! “Wow! You finished your book. That’s really an incredible accomplishment. Most people have ‘writing a book’ on their bucket list, but you are one of the rare few that actually did it, that’s why you’re here. That’s definitely worth a celebration in itself…I don’t know about you, but when I first published my novel the most annoying question people would ask, before they even asked what the book was about, was “is there an audiobook?” Jennifer takes that opportunity to describe exactly – and accurately – to transform a manuscript into an audiobook.
The quite easy steps presented are Yes, you can! (see above), Get your voice in shape, (breathing, articulation, resonance, tongue twister exercises), Set up to win, Smile- you’re not on camera but you’re still recording, Crowd control your characters, Editing and Exploring, and The finish line. Or as she states, “It’s going to take time and patience. Recording your book, reading your entire book aloud for the purpose of recording is a marathon. That’s why it’s important to prepare yourself and create a realistic schedule depending on the length of your book.’ Every detail of the process of creating an audiobook is offered – including equipment needed such as microphone, pop screen, external hard drive, recording software – and the various steps and techniques to master.
This is a true ‘how to’ manual for creating an audiobook – well worth the investment!

CHICAGO -- In a move that shows why Chicago's called "clout city," United Airlines may have used its political influence to strong-arm Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) into reversing his stance on an air-travel measure he previously supported.
The Open Skies policy allows international airlines to fly to the U.S. without any governmental interference in establishing routes, airfare and other operational factors, as a means of promoting economic competition, tourism and trade. Over the last two years, several Middle Eastern airlines, including Emirates and Qatar Airways, have signed agreements with the city of Chicago to offer nonstop flights between Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Dubai and Doha. Emanuel has heralded the presence of the airlines, as they contribute to his desire to mold Chicago into a larger economic force and a more “global” and “world-class” city. Part of this involves ambitious goals to increase international tourism to the city.
“Chicago is pleased to welcome Qatar Airways' world-class service to our global gateway, O'Hare International Airport. This new international air service creates additional economic opportunities, increases tourism to our city and strengthens Chicago's cultural and business connection to the world,” Emanuel said in a press release in 2013.
Likewise, he championed the arrival of Emirates last year as another addition to Chicago’s “global connectivity.”
But this month, Emanuel appeared to abruptly pull his support from these airlines. In a letter to the U.S. Departments of State, Transportation and Commerce, he called out the Middle Eastern airlines for allegedly violating the Open Skies agreements, saying that their governments unfairly subsidize the airlines. The letter went on to argue that the subsidies provide too much competition to American airline companies -- including United, which is headquartered in Chicago and has its largest hub at O’Hare.
“In the past, I welcomed the expansion of Qatar and Emirates to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and while I continue to encourage international airlines to bring their flights and passengers to our city, I have serious concerns about the unfair government subsidies and benefits the Middle East carriers have received and the impact on the U.S. airlines,” Emanuel wrote in the letter.
Emanuel, who was sworn in for a second term on Monday after facing a runoff election, has received almost $140,000 in campaign donations from United since 2011.
In addition to its political clout, United is a major contributor to Chicago’s economy, employing over 14,000 people in the city, including in its downtown corporate office and its O’Hare operations office. United is also a member of Emanuel’s World Business Chicago, a collaboration between the city and Chicago-based corporations to promote economic globalization.
However, the company is angling toward a larger presence in Houston. Last week, Crain’s Chicago Business reported that Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport broke ground on an expansion to the airport, supported by United. Ever since United merged with Houston-based Continental Airlines in 2010, the company has started basing more of its major flights in Houston.
Emanuel’s office and United could not be reached for comment.
CLARIFICATION: A previous version of this story suggested that Chicago signed an Open Skies agreement with two foreign airlines; the city welcomed the carriers, but the agreements are signed by the federal government.

Though the situation in Benghazi was stable in the immediate aftermath of the revolution the same could not be said of the rest of Libya.We remained glued to Al Jazeera as news of unrest in other areas of western Libya filtered in .Initial reports of Gadaffi fleeing to Venuzvela which was greeted with loud celebratory gunfire in Benghazi turned out to be false.Reports came in of the brutal supression of the revolt in Tripoli.Gaddafi himself came on television promising retribution ‘house by house’ to the residents of Benghazi .The speech created panic among our loved ones in India .In fact the madman had dispatched a few planes from Tripoli to bomb Benghazi.We spent a few anxious hours in the night gossiping and sipping tea till news came in that the planes had landed at Benghazi airport and did not carry out the bombing.A couple of pilots landed in neighbouring country of Malta as the pilots did not want to bomb their own people and one pilot ejected from his plane near Ajdabiya .Rumours also swirled that he could use chemical or biological weapons against Benghazi.
Seeing the unstable situation various governments began evacuating their nationals.Indian government too advised us to evacuate which was also seconded by Garyounis university officials where I worked .Benina airport in Benghazi had been shut as it had been dug up by the rebels .So the Indian govt chartered the Bahamian cruise liner ‘Scotia Prince’ to ferry Indian nationals from Benghazi to Alexandria in Egypt.
So ten days later we bid goodbye to the Libyan family hosting us.Our Libyan landlady who was ‘mamma’ to us Indians broke down at our departure.Thanks to them we carried back lovely memories of our Libyan stay.The hospitality we received from them was simply unparalleled.It was a pity we had to leave such lovely people but then, inshallah we would be back.
The port was crowded with people of many nationalities crowding it looking for a seat home.The huge contingent of Indians comprising of doctors,nurses from Kerala ,oil workers, labourers ,and factory workers from Hyundai were shepherded into a large warehouse where we waited through the afternoon for our exit visa to be stamped and the arrival of our ship.Most of us had left behind many of our belongings in making a hasty exit. A loud cheer went up as the Scotia Prince entered the port.However my celebration was premature as it was further six hours and a lot of jostling before I finally boarded the ship at midnight.
Things eased up once we were on the ship.In the hold the team of Indian embassy officials from Egypt processed our passports.Many who were without passports were issued temporary passports.Bunks were allocated with four people in one cabin.I managed to gang up with a couple of friends and got a cabin together.The cabins were very comfortable with air conditioning,clean sheets and towels and an attached bathroom.Once checked it we made a beeline for the dining hall where we had a very filling chicken meal before crashing for the night.A long dream of an all expenses paid Mediterranean cruise was coming true,so what if it was as a refugee!
It was a long journey to Alexandria in Egypt.In all we spent three nights in the ship due to delay in formalities.The sea is indeed very lovely and time passed quickly just gazing at it stretching from horizon to horizon from Africa to Europe.Queuing up for food became a daily chore as the queues were serpentine.Initially whoever got into the dining hall went into cruise dining mode,eating leisurely while stomachs growled outside the dining hall.As a north indian labourer quipped to his friend”aisa chicken mutton kaha kahne ko milega? lapet lo!”(“where will you get to eat such chicken ,mutton meals?gobble it!”).The joke going around was that after breakfast one should queue for lunch and after lunch for dinner !However the ship crew after being initially shell shocked to see their beloved cruise ship turning into a refugee ship soon got their act together and streamlined things.Being a refugee ship the casino and pubs were not functioning so we sat around the pub gossiping and gazing at the sea.
Finally on the third evening the lights of Alexandria were visible.Everyone crowded on to the deck.Arrangements had been made to send us in five planes from Alexandria airport to Mumbai and Delhi.However what should have been a fairly simple operation of dividing us into five batches and putting up the names on the noticeboard was bungled by the Indian embassy staff.The non transparent and sometimes haughty behavior of some of the senior Indian embassy officials on board led to a lot of avoidable confusion,acrimony and delay.Finally the next day evening I was on the way to the airport in a Volvo bus chartered by the Indian govt.
The drive from the port through Alexandria to the airport took about forty five minutes.The buses stopped at a souvenir shop for some late night shopping .the Egyptians are enterprising people and any tourism business in lean times is welcome even refugees.Many people unloaded their last Libyan dinars which was bought by the Egyptians at rock bottom rates.Some of us held on to the dinars with Gadaffi pictures as these may soon disappear. Some bought souvenirs of pyramids,mummies and camels ,all made in China of course.
Alexandria is an impressive city with well lit broad wide roads,busy shopping areas,trams and tanks.Egypt had just undergone its own revolution and security was tight.Of particular interest to me were the traffic policemen kiosks at the intersections which had quite a unique look.The brand new Borg al arab airport had been opened just days earlier.An all glass structure well lit up it made for an imposing site.After being cutoff for so many days wifi internet along with some hot coffee was welcome.A few hours restless wait later we were flown out to Mumbai by Egypt Air.It was goodbye Africa for now.

A man buffeted by storm winds clings to a fragile umbrella painted with the map of the earth. Painted by 13-year-old Charlotte Sullivan of Great Britain, it’s one of the prize-winning paintings created in a 17-year-old children’s art competition sponsored by the U.N. Environment Program. Some of those paintings are now on display in the main lobby of the U.N., while an auction of 26 others raised $21,000 for the United Nations Children's Fund, to be used to help children in areas touched by climate-related disasters.
The U.N. brought child artists from several continents to New York to participate in the exhibit and auction. The 52 works were chosen from among 200,000 created for the competition in the last 17 years, said U.N. Environment Program executive director Achim Steiner. “We chose them to give a voice to children's and young people's views about climate change, environmental challenges and how they view their future, but also our responsibility to do something today,” he said.
The chosen paintings are by children from countries including Thailand, China, the Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Russia, Greece, Armenia, Ukraine, and Colombia, among others. Some are optimistic, and show the sun and wind as new sources of power. Others portray Arctic animals wilting in the heat, or even the Earth itself, sweating and exhausted. A few suggest human despair at a degraded world.
Nine-year-old Katherine Liu of the United States prescribed change with her painting, an idyllic landscape inside the outline of a lightbulb. “Inside the lightbulb everything is good and what we should do and should use,” she said, “and outside the lightbulb everything is bad and broken down, and it's things we shouldn't use.”
Guy Nindorera, 14, has seen famine caused by environmental degradation in his country, Burundi. His painting, and an accompanying animation by the U.N. show two possible fates for the world, pictured on opposite sides of an ancient tree. “If we continue destroying the environment, we could all die,” Nindorera said. “Right now we are victims of humans' activities, victims of our own activities. So, I think we should stop and take a good action.”
Achim Steiner noted that a recent survey by his agency found that young people and children around the world rate climate change as a major concern, and want governments to act now to halt it. “Paintings are just one means to express that,” he said. “There are many, many different ways. But sometimes the imagery of art goes beyond language barriers and cultural barriers. They speak to a universal population in the world.”

Wakarusa is a Native American term meaning “ass-deep,” somewhat unfitting seeing that this festival puts any patron way over their head in music. The Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival is a four-day party in the heart of the Midwest.
Born in 2004, the festival originally featured over 70 artists in a diverse and eclectic line-up. In 2005 Wakarusa returned and quickly established itself as a premiere, grassroots event in the nationwide outdoor music scene. Last year the event featured over 80 artists, five stages and over four days of non-stop music and entertainment. This year’s throw-down is looking more and more like the highlight of the summer.
(As calculated by mapquest.com from
Denver, Colo. to Lawrence, Kans.)
Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 14 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 566 miles
ALONG THE WAY: Not far from Lawrence is Bonner Springs, Kans., a town that might otherwise forever be as obscure as dozens of other heartland towns, except for the fact that Bonner Springs High School was the home of Gene Clark, one of the founders of The Byrds. It may not be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but since it’s only half an hour away from Lawrence, it’s worth a side-trip for a snapshot.


I seem to have a problem with nice people.
Or at least I have a problem listening to nice people when they’re trying to talk to me. Case in point: The other day, one of my editors called to discuss the stories we were working on. After we figured out a good plan for all of them, she tried to wrap up the call by saying how much she appreciated me being part of her team.
“Aw, thanks!” I said, cutting her off midsentence.
She tried again: “Really, we rely on you so much and –”
“Thank you. That’s nice to hear,” I interrupted again.
She tried a third and final time to get one complete sentence out before I jumped in to cut her off. Finally, we just said bye and hung up.
What’s that all about? I’m not quite sure. All I know is that I seem to have trouble accepting compliments. Especially if they are more than, say, two or three words long. After that, I start to freak out and refuse to let the person say anything more.
From the way I was trying to get off the phone, you’d think my editor was attempting to tell me something negative, like, “I wish I’d never met you. You’re a despicable waste of space on the planet.”
Nope; she just wanted to state, for the record, how happy she was with me at that moment.
And I wouldn’t let her do it.
That’s really not fair, now that I think about it. When people set out to tell you something thoughtful like that, it’s rude to cut them off. But it’s hard for some of us not to.
And by “some of us,” I mean “lots of us.” A quick Google search for “trouble accepting compliments” yielded almost 8 million results. Holy moly. One person who was asking advice for this issue — from total strangers — said that when he gets praise, he always feels like he has to say something equally flattering back. Or he’ll just deny that the compliment is true.
After he asked for suggestions, one person said, “You could add a disbelieving, ‘Really?’ before you say thanks, I suppose.”
That tactic would get old fast, I’m guessing. People would begin to refer to you as the Disbelieving “Really?” Guy (or Girl). The advice-giver went on to say that those of us who can’t accept praise should consider ourselves lucky. “I know quite a few people who just respond to compliments with an indifferent, ‘I know.’”
So this person apparently has kids. (I’m joking.)
But I have noticed that the younger generation has very little trouble with sitting back and soaking in the praise. When my daughter is told that she’s a great student or has an adorable face, she beams and politely says, “Thank you!”
There is no attempt at interrupting them. Thank goodness.
When my son hears that he’s hysterically funny, he’ll reply with something along the lines of, “I get that a lot.”
But when it’s a deeper compliment — say, a Sunday school teacher tells him how impressed she was by the questions he asked in class — he does what we all should: He really listens, says thank you — and soaks in the words with pride. Because he knows he deserves that particular bit of praise, by golly.
Compliments are designed to make us feel better about ourselves. That’s their job. They’re not thrown out there to make us all nervous and fidgety; they aren’t word bombs that we have to shield ourselves from. So the next time someone attempts to tell me something nice, I’m going to say thank you, just as I always have.
But not before I shut up and listen to what they’re trying to say.

from lack of access to health care in the USA. He is reading the names of the congressional districts and the number of deaths before he is shut down.
I am not sure that the recent legislation passed by the US House of Representatives is going to be helpful for Americans. I suspect it will not be - since AARP, a large insurance company for seniors, and the AMA - support it. I know it was bad news for women that health care coverage for them was stripped from the bill.

1、 Resistance muffler
The resistance muffler uses the sound absorption function of sound absorbing materials to eliminate noise. Its structure is to fix the sound absorbing material on the inner wall of the pipe with air flow, or arrange it in the pipe or shell in a certain way to form a resistive muffler. The sound absorbing material can partially absorb the sound energy incident on it. The reason why sound energy is absorbed is the porosity and porosity of sound absorbing materials. When the sound wave enters the pore, the air and material in the pore will produce tiny vibration due to friction and viscous resistance. A considerable part of sound energy is converted into heat energy and absorbed.
It has good noise reduction effect on high-frequency and intermediate frequency noise, but poor noise reduction effect on low-frequency noise.
1. Pipe muffler
The tubular muffler is a simple muffler. It only sticks a layer of sound absorbing material on the inner edge of the pipe wall, so it is also called "pipe lining". It is characterized by convenient manufacturing and small resistance, but it is only applicable to small air ducts, and the diameter generally does not exceed 400mm. The tubular muffler has a certain sound attenuation effect only for medium and high frequency sound absorption. Poor performance at low frequencies.
2. Plate and format muffler
管式消聲器低頻性能差，易通過中、高速率噪聲。此外，當管道截面面積較大時，會影響高頻噪聲的消聲效果。這是因為高頻聲波(短波長)在管道中以窄束傳播。管面積大時,聲波之間的聯系和管壁上的吸聲材料降低,這樣沉默的高頻聲音降低,因此,空氣管的很大部分,部分可分為幾個網格,芯片和格式消音器。片狀消聲器應用廣泛，結構簡單。格式消聲器的有效截面積不得小于風管的截面積，因此體積較大，每個格網的尺寸應控制在200mm × 200mm左右。板式消聲器的板間間距一般在100 ~ 200mm范圍內。當板間距加大時，消聲量相應減小。
The tubular muffler has poor low frequency performance and is easy to pass through medium and high speed noise. In addition, when the pipe section area is large, it will affect the noise reduction effect of high-frequency noise. This is because high-frequency sound waves (short wavelengths) travel in narrow beams in the pipe. When the pipe area is large, the connection between sound waves and the sound absorbing material on the pipe wall will be reduced, so the silent high-frequency sound will be reduced. Therefore, a large part of the air pipe can be divided into several grids, chips and format silencers. The sheet muffler is widely used and simple in structure. The effective sectional area of the format muffler shall not be less than the sectional area of the air duct, so the volume is large, and the size of each grid shall be controlled within 200mm × About 200mm. The spacing between plates of plate muffler is generally 100~200mm. When the plate spacing increases, the noise reduction amount decreases accordingly.
2、 Resonant muffler
The absorption capacity of sound absorbing materials to low-frequency noise is usually very low. It is not economical to improve the sound absorption effect only by increasing the thickness of the sound absorption material. In order to improve the sound absorption effect of low-frequency noise, resonant muffler is usually used. The resonant muffler is in the form that the nozzle is connected with the resonant cavity, and the air column at the small hole forms an elastic resonant system with the air in the cavity. When the frequency of the external noise is the same as the natural frequency of the resonance system, the air column in the hole will resonate and rub violently with the hole wall, which can consume sound energy, so as to achieve the purpose of noise elimination
