Embodiments of the invention relate to using a client device to obtain a desired data object from a server device. In particular, embodiments relate to using an OBEX client device to obtain a desired data object from an OBEX server device.
OBEX (object exchange) is a compact binary protocol that enables data exchange. It was originally developed by the Infrared Device Association (IrDA) for infrared communication but it can be used with other transport mechanisms. OBEX performs a function similar to HTTP but is less resource intensive.
An OBEX client is a device that initiates a connection to an OBEX server. An OBEX server is a device that listens for incoming connections from a client. Data is exchanged by pushing data from the client to the server or by pulling data from the server to the client. Pushing is accomplished with a Put command and pulling is accomplished with a Get command.
OBEX is optimized for ad-hoc wireless links but can be used to exchange all kind of data objects like files, pictures, calendar entries (vCalendar) and business cards (vCard). vCal is an Internet Mail Consortium (IMC) standard that defines a transport- and platform-independent format for exchanging calendar and schedule information. vCard is an IMC standard defining the format of an electronic business card. All devices supporting vCard can exchange information such as phone numbers and addresses.
At present OBEX allows a particular vCard to be pulled by a client from a server by using a GET command that specifies the identity of the VCARD. For example, the first entry in a mobile phone phonebook may be obtained by sending the command OBEX_GET (NAME=‘/file/telecom/pb/0.vcf’) and the n+1 th phonebook entry can be obtained by sending the command OBEX_GET (NAME=‘/file/telecom/pb/n.vcf’). The NAME header specifies the location of the file that is being pulled.
However, a problem arises if the client does not know the number of the desired phone book entry. If the number is not known, the NAME header cannot be correctly composed and the desired entry cannot be retrieved. It may be possible to pull all the phonebook entries, however, this may take a considerable time.
It would therefore be desirable to allow an OBEX client to retrieve a desired data object from a server without specifying the filename of the object.
It would in particular be desirable to allow an OBEX client to retrieve a desired data object from an OBEX server by specifying an alphanumeric string contained within the object.
According to one embodiment of the invention there is provided a client device for obtaining a data object from a server device, comprising: a transmitter for sending to the server device a request comprising a first codeword and an arbitrary alphanumeric string, wherein the first codeword indicates that the alphanumeric string should be interpreted at the server as a search string; and a receiver for receiving from the server device, in reply to the request, a data object comprising the arbitrary alphanumeric string.
According to another embodiment of the invention there is provided a method of obtaining a data object from a server device, comprising: composing a request comprising a predetermined first codeword and an arbitrary alphanumeric string, wherein the first codeword indicates that the alphanumeric string should be interpreted at the server as a search string; sending the composed request to the server device; and receiving from the server device, in reply to the request, a data object comprising the arbitrary alphanumeric string.
According to another embodiment of the invention there is provided a server device for providing a data object to a client device, comprising: a receiver for receiving from the client device a request comprising a first codeword and an arbitrary alphanumeric string; parsing means for parsing the request; detection means for detecting the presence of the first codeword in the request; search means for searching a database comprising data objects to obtain a data object comprising the alphanumeric search string; and a transmitter for transmitting to the client device, in reply to the request, the obtained data object.
According to another embodiment of the invention there is provided a method of providing a data object to a client device, comprising: receiving from the client device a request comprising a first codeword and an arbitrary alphanumeric string; if the first codeword is in a received request, searching a database comprising data objects, using the alphanumeric string as a search string, to obtain a data object comprising the alphanumeric search string; and transmitting from the server device, in reply to the request, the obtained data object.
For a better understanding of the present invention reference will now be made by way of example only to the accompanying drawings in which:
The server device 20 may have access to more than one database and the request message 4 may identify the database to be searched. The databases 44, 32 may be located in one or more memories 42, 30 and the request message 4 may identify a memory location.
The client device 10 and the server device 20 may communicate with each other via a wireless communication channel or via an galvanic connection depending upon how the invention is implemented.
As an the example, the server device 20 may be a mobile cellular telephone and the client device may be an accessory device, such as a headset. The accessory may be physically connected to the telephone via a jack or communication may occur via a wireless link, such as Bluetooth or Infrared.
The client device 10 comprises; a transmitter 12 for sending to the server device 20 the request message 4; a receiver 14 for receiving from the server device 20 the reply message 6; a processor 16 for controlling the operation of the client device 10; and a user interface 18. The processor 16 is connected to receive data from the receiver 14 and the user interface 18 and to provide data to the transmitter 12 and the user interface 18.
The user interface 18 comprises a user input device such as a keypad, joystick or voice recognition circuitry.
The processor 16 composes the request message 4. The request message 4 is an OBEX GET command comprising a NAME header. The NAME header has a particular format that includes a series of codewords.
Typically an OBEX GET command is used to obtain a file stored at an OBEX server. The OBEX GET command specifies the full path of the file name. Such an OBEX GET command could have the form OBEX_GET(NAME=‘file/telecom/pb/n.vcf’), if the n+1 th entry in the phonebook database is required. The file name is ‘n’.
According to embodiments of the invention a new NAME header is used in the OBEX GET command. One example of the new command is OBEX_GET(NAME=‘file/telecom/pb/search/$.vcf’). This NAME header includes an arbitrary alphanumeric string ($) that follows but is separated from a first codeword (search). The first codeword (search) indicates that the alphanumeric string ($) should be interpreted at the OBEX server 20 as a search string and not as a filename.
Although the new search command has some similarities with the typical command it is different in two important respects. The new search command has an additional component (the first component) in the NAME header which indicates that the command is a search command. In addition, the NAME header has an alphanumeric string instead of a file name.
The first codeword is preferably predetermined in the sense that it is known to the server device 20 before the processor 16 of the client device 10 composes the request message 4. It can therefore be automatically added to the NAME header by the processor 16.
The arbitrary alphanumeric string is not of fixed content. The client can specify the content of the arbitrary alphanumeric string or the user can specify the content using the user input device of the user interface 18. Alternatively the arbitrary alphanumeric string may be received or generated at the client device 10, for example, the arbitrary alphanumeric string may be a telephone number of an incoming call identified using call-line-identification (CLI). The alphanumeric string includes a character or a series of characters such as ASCII characters. The alphanumeric string may therefore comprise only a number or only numerals, only a letter or only letters or a mixture comprising letters and numerals. The alphanumeric string may be for example the whole or part of a telephone number, the whole or part of a name, the whole or part of an address, or the whole or part of a search keyword.
The first codeword (search) is preceded by but separated from a second codeword that identifies the database to be searched. If the database to be searched is a phonebook database then the second codeword used is ‘pb’ as in the example above. If the database to be searched is a calendar or scheduling database then the second codeword used is ‘cal’. If the database to be searched is a message database, for example an SMS inbox, then the second codeword used is ‘msg’.
A third codeword (file) starts the series of codewords and indicates the memory location of the database to be searched by the server device 20. If the database to be searched is located in the mobile cellular telephone, then the third codeword used is ‘file’ as in the example above. If the database to be searched is located in a first smart card housed by the mobile cellular telephone, then the third codeword used is ‘SIM0’.
The alphanumeric string is followed by an extension (.vcf) that identifies the type of data object that the server device 20 should return. The extension vcf indicates a vcard data object, the extension vcal indicates a vcalendar data object and the extension vmsg indicates a message data object. The extension used is dependent upon the identity of the database to be searched.
The process of composing a request message 4, starts with a decision being made to compose a request message 4. This may follow from the context of the client device 10 or from user selection of a search option using the user interface 18. The alphanumeric string is then specified. It may be specified automatically from the context or by the user inputting via the user interface 18. The second codeword is then specified. This codeword identifies the database to be searched. This codeword may be specified automatically from the context or by user selection using the user interface 18. The third codeword is then specified. The default value may be ‘file’ indicating that the database is in the telephone, or it may be specified by the user using the user interface 18. The processor is thus able to compose the request message 4 and control the transmitter 12 to send it to the server device 20.
The processor 16 also processes the received reply message 6. It obtains the data object comprising the arbitrary alphanumeric string contained in the reply message 6. The obtained data object may then be stored to memory or displayed to the user via the user interface.
An example of how a request message may be automatically composed as a result of the context of the client device follows. Let us consider as an example, that there is an incoming telephone call and the telephone number of the originator of the incoming call is available at the client device via call line identification (CLI). It is generally desirable to display a persons name instead of their telephone number telephone number. The client device therefore needs to associate a name with the telephone number. This context indicates that a phonebook search is required. The telephone number is automatically used as the arbitrary alphanumeric string, first codeword is automatically set to indicate that the alphanumeric string is a search string and the second codeword is automatically specified as ‘pb’ indicating that a phonebook search is required. The request message 4 could, for example, be OBEX_GET (NAME=‘file/telecom/pb/search/telephone_number.vcf’). The server searches its phonebook database and returns to the client device the vcard comprising the requested telephone number. The client device then displays the vcard or a portion of the vcard thereby identifying the originator of the incoming call by name.
The server device 20 comprises: a receiver 24 for receiving the request message 4; a transmitter 22 for sending the reply message 6; a processor 26 for controlling the operation of the server device 20; a user interface 28 and a memory 30 that includes a database 32 of data objects.
The processor 26 is connected to receive data from the receiver 24 and the user interface 28 and to provide data to the transmitter 22 and the user interface 28. The processor 26 is also connected to write to and read from the memory 30 and access the database 32.
Optionally, the server device 20 may access a database that is stored in a memory that is not part of the server device 20. For example, the server device 20 may house a smart card 40 that has a memory 42 containing a database 44. The processor 26 is connected to the smart card and can access the database 44.
Each database stores a plurality of data objects. One database may be a phonebook that associates telephone numbers with names. This association may be achieved by storing a plurality of vcards. Another database may be a calendar that stores a plurality of vcals. Another database may be a message Inbox or the like that stores a plurality of text messages.
Each database has a search interface. If the search interface receives an alphanumeric string the database returns the database entry that contains that alphanumeric string or if there is no such entry a null value.
The search interface is typically provided by a method called by the processor 26 that takes an alphanumeric string as its argument. There is a distinct method for each database.
The alphanumeric string may be provided by a user via the user interface 28, in which case the result returned by the accessed database is displayed locally via the user interface 28. Thus for example, the user may search the phonebook to obtain a telephone number for dialing.
The alphanumeric string may also be received in the request message in which case the result returned by the accessed database is placed in the reply message 6 and sent to the client device 10.
When a request message 4 is received at the server device 20, the processor 28 parses the NAME header of the OBEX GET command contained in the received request message into its constituents e.g. first codeword, second codeword, third codeword, alphanumeric string and extension.
If the predetermined first codeword is not present the processor 26 detects this. This indicates that the received GET command is a request for a specific data object that is specified by file name. The processor 26 can reads this data object from the appropriate memory and pass it to the transmitter for transmission to the client 10.
If the predetermined first codeword is present, the processor 26 detects this. This indicates that the received GET command is a search request and not a file access request. The processor 26 calls the search method for the database specified by the second codeword at the location specified by the third codeword. The alphanumeric string is used as an argument of the search method call. The method accesses the specified database and returns the data object, if any, that includes the alphanumeric string. The processor 26 then composes the response message 6, which includes this data object and sends it via the transmitter 22 to the client device 10.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in the preceding paragraphs with reference to various examples, it should be appreciated that modifications to the examples given can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.
Whilst endeavoring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the Applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features hereinbefore referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.

text: It started with a simple X through the day on the calendar. A bit of smeared paint leftover from my paint tray, and perhaps some leftover gold leaf. Over the past five years my calendar pages have become expressions of the weather and temperature. My moods, specials days of the year and records of the visitors I host here in the Old Andrews Schoolhouse; my monthly life experiences. I have discovered that work on the calendar pages helps to jump-start my day. I simply grab some paint and a brush and smear it on the day's date, and as the day progresses, I add to it, change it and massage it. By month's end, a new painted record is complete! I happily share these original pages with you!

Because I'm An Atheist...
Because I am an atheist, I don't have to spend my energy justifying the unjustifiable.
As I've written before, I can imagine how I could have been a religious person. A different roll of the dice, a few chance encounters that happened differently - there are possible worlds where I became a believer rather than an atheist. I could have become seriously interested in the Jewish heritage I inherited from one side of my family, or the Roman Catholic tradition I'm descended from on the other. I could imagine worlds where I became a member of a mainline Protestant denomination, or an evangelical Christian in the emerging church.
And the funny thing is, I like to think that it wouldn't have made that much difference. I'm fairly certain that the religious me would still care about equality, would still value social justice, would still think of the world as spectacular and beautiful, would still want to bring about as much goodness as it was in his power to do. It would have taken a much harder shove, a much more improbable chain of coincidences, to send me down the path of one of those more distant possible worlds where I ended up as an anti-choice advocate, or a believer in the imminent apocalypse, or a young-earth creationist.
I think if I could ever meet my religious doppelganger, we'd get along well. But there'd still be one large gulf, one irreducible difference between him and me: he would have to spend a lot more time, energy and intellectual effort trying to come up with ways to justify religious beliefs that falter in the face of the evidence.
No matter how progressive a believer you are, there's no good way to reconcile belief in a benevolent deity with all the ugliness, suffering and unfairness in the world, nor is there a good way to explain why tragedy strikes good people. In fact, the more progressive a believer you are, the worse a contradiction it is. (This always bothered me when I was a deist.) No matter how progressive a believer you are, there's no way to defend the Bible as a divinely inspired book when it contains so many genocides, so many flawed moral rules, so many obviously evil or nonsensical commandments.
Even if he was a decent fellow, my religious alternate would be compelled to spend time rooting through his holy books, trying to find verses that could be lifted out of context to justify same-sex marriage, or stem-cell research, or acceptance of evolution. He'd have to construct elaborate rationalizations to explain why so much evil and ignorance was and is advocated by people who clearly believed in the same god and the same sacred text as him. He would still be stuck in futile, deadlocked arguments with fundamentalists over the unanswerable question of who really understands God's will.
As an atheist, I don't have to do any of this. I don't have to pore over the writings of soothsayers from the benighted past to decide what to think about every new scientific or moral advance: I can just make up my mind on my own, using the best evidence available to me. I don't have to construct complex and flimsy excuses for why God lets people get cancer, AIDS, blinding trachoma, guinea worm, or epidermolysis bullosa, when I know full well that I'd abolish those things instantly if I had omnipotent power: I can just accept that the universe is unjust, and do what I can to make it more just. I don't have to do mental contortions trying to explain why God would have a favorite race or how the murder of an innocent could absolve another's sin: I can discard all these theological perversities as self-serving nonsense, and devote my energy to learning how the world works in reality.
If I weren't an atheist, justifying all these absurd beliefs would add up, over a lifetime, to a huge amount of wasted time and mental effort. For me, being a member of any theistic religion would be like wearing a suit of clothes one size too small: there would always be that constriction, that uncomfortable sense of pressure, as my conscience and reason grate against immovable dogmas on every side. But instead, because I am an atheist, I can discard these dusty and tattered trappings of dogma, and luxuriate in the freedom of clear air and daylight. To those who are still carrying that burden, including my hypothetical religious self, I'd invite them to try setting it down. They'd be amazed at how much better life is without it!

This is the first time I am participating in a Top Ten Tuesday! I have seen many people I follow participate in this weekly challenge, and after seeing some of their posts today, I thought I would quickly rustle up my own Top Ten Tuesday post in response to this week’s challenge, which has been created by the blog The Broke and the Bookish.
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
4.5 / 5
Classic, timeless and magnificent.
The Lord of The Rings series reaches a climactic crescendo with the final instalment, The Return of the King, providing the brilliant ending to the battle for Middle-Earth. The story hikes down two parallel lanes: Frodo and Sam lumbering wearily towards Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring and Aragorn leading the people of Middle-Earth against a massive attack by Sauron and his forces darkened by his shadow and fear. As the two storylines coincide, we are assured of an ending of epic proportions.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
4 / 5
Fascinating, terrific and captivating.
A work of literary brilliance by Tolkien, who meticulously describes in incredible detail, the journeys of The Company following the breaking of the fellowship at the end of the first book. Each of them ventures on and encounters an abundance of evil in their own role within the fellowship,
Merry and Pippin have been taken prisoner by orc-soldiers who have been tasked to bring them to Saurman of Isengard. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli mourn the loss of Boromir, and then they turn their attention to tracking down the captured hobbits having realised that Frodo intends to take the ring to Mordor with Sam tagging along. They pursue the orc-soldiers trail, until they come across riders of Rohan who inform them that they battled with the orcs last night and they killed every living thing and had burned them. However, after discovering the remains of orc corpses and smouldering fires that were used on the hobbits’ captors, they are left perplexed to what end the Halflings have come to as Aragorn finds hobbit prints leading towards Fangorn Forest.
Frodo and Sam are journeying towards Mordor alone and devoid of any members of The Company. But despite this they obtain another companion through the sneaking Gollum, who had been following them because he is still drawn to the Precious. Frodo, knowing that Gollum is to play a part in this tale as Gandalf has previously suspected, he decides to take him on as their guide. Their quest takes them through the Dead Marches and to the Black Gate as the Frodo creeps ever closer to either completing or failing his task.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
4 / 5
An excellent piece of literature that is must on anyone’s bucket list.
One of my resolutions for 2014, was to read more books that are deemed literary classics or books that are famous and are on everyone’s bucket list. Lord of the Rings is one of them. Having seen the films and have read The Hobbit quite a while ago, I have always wanted to pick up this book and bask in Tolkien’s awesome Middle-Earth.
As many of you may know, the story is an epic journey spanning three books, this is the opening of the journey and though it may not have the fast electric pace of a Dan Brown novel. It is the creation of something that can’t be told in 24 hours, this book spans many years and each of them told intricately. Whenever I read a book written by a person considered a literary great such as Tolkien, I sometimes feel that by writing a review of the book such as this, any remark I make against the author, it is as if I am criticising someone I am not allowed to. Despite that pressure, I do honestly feel that he does tend to go over board with the travelling and long descriptions of Middle-Earth history with names I have forgotten. Granted, I appreciate the meticulous detail he shows when he tries to create the scene and give the reader the best possible view of what is happening. But I felt that rather than reading hundreds of pages at a time and finishing the book in a few days, I was reading to the end of the chapter, putting it down and coming back to it later. The Fellowship of the Ring was not set out to be a gripping page turner, rather it was the introduction and mood setter for a colossal story which I know from the films becomes more exciting and enthralling as The Company gets nearer to its goal, but I still felt a little underwhelmed.
However, I did thoroughly enjoy reading it and I will continue on to read the next two instalments of this famous adventure that was to become one of the most successful film franchises ever. Though I may sound a little hypocritical here, I did find the attention to detail concerning Rivendell and Moria to be excellent, and while The Company were in Moria, I did not put the book down for anything. I think Gandalf could have walked through my door and shouted “Fly, you fools!” to me and I still wouldn’t have loosened my grip on this brilliant book.
The story includes many important and exciting parts including; the passing of the ring to Frodo, the growing threat of Sauron, the hobbits’ journey to Rivendell with the terrifying Black Riders in pursuit, the forming of the fellowship and their struggles to help the Ring-bearer on his mission, and their many trials and adventures along the way. It is essentially a journey or quest story, in which each new location brings new dangers and wonders, much like the adventure tales of older mythology and folklore
I may have had my concerns earlier on but before I receive a backlash for pointing out something I did not particularly enjoy about this book, you may wish to know that Tolkien has been the inspiration for me to try my hand at writing a novel. The time and the creativity he showed to create such a magnificently crafted world is incomprehensible and he has probably created the best fictitious world there has ever been. He has created a history, a culture, mythology and a language, added to this is a journey among friends as they pit themselves against evil, which is what most books are mostly about. With my particular edition, there were many various maps portraying Middle-Earth and for one person to create such a place is phenomenal and the idea of creating such a place was part of the reason I want to write a book. So like Tolkien, I hope I can create a magical world with a tale which can last for generations to come, because that is what he has achieved and not many authors can have a claim such as that.
I can’t wait to get stuck into the next book as the epic journey continues; it was an excellently crafted piece of literature and has turned out to be a cultural phenomenon with a fanbase spanning millions of people. I for one am much a part of said fanbase. I hope you have found this review informative and do not take offence to a personal preference that I had with this book, which when you take a step back, is a more sophisticated introduction of the epic tale rather than the thrilling and action packed tale itself.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
3 / 5
A solid film continuing Bilbo’s journey across Middle-Earth.
The second instalment in this film franchise of J. R. R. Tolkein’s novel ‘The Hobbit’ is a satisfactory continuation on from the first film. I found the film had made a good attempt at transforming this classic and brilliant novel to the big screen, however, I felt there were some unnecessary introductions to the film which did not feature in the book and did not add anything important to the film. Despite these reservations I felt the film was a decent attempt at bridging the beginning and the ending of the remarkable journey of Bilbo Baggins together. The journey took them to the Elvish kingdom, Mirkwood, Laketown and the Lonely Mountain. And they also encountered many creatures such as orks, elves, a bear, men and a dragon.
An aspect which was particularly spectacular was the special effects and the set designs that were involved in the film. The Elvish kingdom left myself and the audience awestruck as the labyrinth and the countless stairways created a setting which was encapsulating to watch. Another location which was just as incredible and magnificent was the Lonely Mountain, the home of the dragon Smaug, voiced by the terrific Benedict Cumberbatch. The vastness of Smaug’s treasure is endless and the scenes within the walls of this awe-inspiring place where exciting and kept me unblinking throughout the action.
I felt the film was a good film but it wasn’t an edge of the seat thriller that I was hoping for. I had been anticipating a series of films just as good as the Lord of the Rings trilogy and equalling The Hobbit book, but I feel the first two films in The Hobbit franchise have not been quite as good as I had hoped. There seems to be a spark missing somewhere, which I hope features in the final film, because the cast is a brilliant line up, and Peter Jackson is the perfect director for these films. Therefore, I feel this film has been used more as a build up to the final film so inevitably this film has sacrificed an explosive finale in order to set the third film up for the compelling conclusion.
I would recommend this film to anyone that has read The Hobbit novel and is a fan of Peter Jackson’s work with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is a film that has its moments of action and entertainment however it won’t go down as a classic movie or even among the top 3 of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films.

USA Today has a story today about the Comic book industry and how some artists have successfully moved across to the film industry. Josh interviews Comic book illustrators Steve Skroce and Geofery Darrow, who played integral roles in mapping out the original Matrix, as well as the upcoming two sequels:
Filmmakers Larry and Andy Wachowski “had the entire movie in their brains, and I was a translator for their ideas,” says Skroce, who drew up storyboards for the original film and has worked on such comics as Wolverine. “Comics are all about image, and The Matrix is as well. You could stop the movie in a number of places, and it would look like a comic book page.”
It also helps that there are comic book-friendly directors working in Hollywood. The Wachowskis and Dogma filmmaker Kevin Smith have even worked in the comic book industry. In fact, Skroce got his job on The Matrix because he illustrated the Wachowskis’ first comic. Smith has worked on a number of comics, including Daredevil and a series of books based on the superhero Green Arrow.
For comic book artists, the move into films can be difficult. “With comics you can take more liberty,” Baker says. “There are certain disciplines you have to follow when you’re doing storyboards, like making sure you work left to right, that you don’t have to do when you’re doing a graphic novel.”
But Atlantis producer Don Hahn says that having someone with a comic book background on his film was enormously helpful.
“They give you tremendous imagination, tremendous graphic style and tremendous clarity,” he says. “When you are forced to get a couple of ideas down to a page, you can’t be vague. Comic book artists give you a clear graphic vision.”
Some in the comics field believe comic book artists have unlimited visions to bring to the screen.
“It’s very hard to generalize comic book artists,” Mignola says. “We can be as different as night and day.”

On Monday, the SDA awarded information technology firm L3Harris Technologies a $193.6 million contract and private space company Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) a $149.1 million contract, each to build four satellites with a wide field of view (WFOV) overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) sensor, which the SDA is calling “Tracking Layer Tranche 0.”
"The satellites will be able to provide missile tracking data for hypersonic glide vehicles and the next generation of advanced missile threats," SDA Director Derek Tournear said in a Pentagon release on Monday. He also told Space News on Monday that both firms are required to deliver their satellites by September 2022.
In June, Tournear said on a Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance broadcast that the first eight satellites would pioneer the concept of a WFOV sensor, as present missile early warning satellites use narrow fields of view due to their less sophisticated technology. This constellation will start out at 20 satellites after the first eight are proven, but could eventually grow to as many as 200.
As Sputnik reported, the existing Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) satellites are geared toward spotting ballistic missile launches, during which the rocket engines put out huge amounts of heat that stands out from the background temperature of the Earth. However, with the advent of hypersonic glide vehicles, which have short rocket burns compared to traditional ballistic missiles, this method makes it harder to spot their launch - and basically impossible to spot them once they “go cold” and begin their high-speed glide towards their target.
According to The Drive, SpaceX’s satellite will be derived from its Starlink project, envisioned as a huge network of broadband internet satellites that orbit much closer to the Earth than a typical satellite, giving people on the ground a much stronger signal but covering a much narrower field of view. The design for L3Harris’ satellite is as yet unknown.
The Tracking Layer will, in turn, be part of a larger network of detection satellites called the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), presently being developed by the SDA, Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which are described as having a “medium field of view.”
C4ISRNET reported in June the HBTSS project was chronically underfunded, and a March report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank blasted the MDA and Congress for zigging and zagging on funding the project, saying “it is unclear that SDA plans to move out [that is, begin the effort] on hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking at the speed of relevance.”
Meanwhile, York Space Systems and Lockheed Martin are working on a related project, a much larger network of communications satellites that could include hundreds of pieces. The two firms received contracts in August to build a total of 20 satellites for this “Transport Layer” project. According to The Drive, this network might be intending to share information via laser communication instead of radio waves, which would be more reliable as well as immune to jamming or interception - key concerns of the Space Force.
This, in turn, could plug into other layers that track mobile launchers and other targets and could grow as large as 1,000 space-based devices.

In a just unsealed document, the Pentagon prosecutor of the Sept. 11 mass murder case is asking the military judge to set a series of deadlines for court filings and rulings to start the trial with jury selection on Jan. 7, 2019.
Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins includes the timetable in a July 31 unclassified court filing in response to a request by the judge to explain how the crude compound at Camp Justice with a single functioning courtroom could hold two national security trials or hearings at once. The USS Cole capital terror case is in pretrial proceedings as well.
The filing says it would take $4.5 million to $6 million to build a second smaller national security court — and there’s no government-wide agreement to spend the money on a single-defendant courtroom. Instead prosecutors propose a seven-day-a-week court with one trial or hearing held for four days, and another held on the other three days.
Judge Army Col. James Pohl bluntly told the prosecution earlier this year that he would not hold “night court,” essentially a second session in the courtroom run by a revolving staff of mostly national guard soldiers. It would burden the guard force and it “takes away from the seriousness of the case,” he said.
Pohl has previously declined to accept other proposed prosecution start dates, including to hold jury selection in September 2014, March 2018 and June 2018. At one point, Martins said the trial could start in January 2015, then for a time stopped offering predictions.
Curiously, the 11-page prosecution unclassified filing — which took 23 days for intelligence agencies to clear for the public to see — also suggests that, were defense attorneys not to invoke Top Secret information at the death-penalty trial, the Pentagon would not need a Top Secret courthouse for the trial of alleged mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four co-accused.
Each 9/11 hearing in both the Bush and Obama administrations was shown to the public on a 40-second delay, including argument in unclassified government pleadings. Defense lawyers, who like the prosecution have Top Secret clearances to work on the case, have made clear they still want more evidence to argue both that any admissions made by the defendants and other captives is tainted by tortured — and that, if they are convicted, the accused terrorists’ three- and four-year odyssey through the CIA’s secret prison network deprives the United States of the moral authority to execute them.
At various times some or all of the five were subjected to beatings, nudity, sleep deprivation, isolation, food manipulation, rectal abuse and confinement to a coffin-sized box or smaller, according to the so-called Senate Torture Report on the spy agency’s Bush administration era Rendition, Detention and Interrogation program. Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times.
Defense lawyers are still litigating for exacting details of what went on. They are combing through the evidence the prosecution has given them — including 13,346 pages of court approved “substitutions” for original Top Secret evidence — and are seeking to call expert witnesses to explain why they need more details.
“Although the prosecution’s affirmative case consists entirely of unclassified evidence of guilt,” the prosecutors write, “the defense’s oft-expressed intention to place those sources and methods themselves on trial validates the requirement for a courtroom that is certified as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility and that is configured to transmit a delayed signal for public observers.”
They add: “The worldwide pursuit of those who perpetrated the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks required the United States to employ sources and methods of intelligence and counterterrorism that remain sensitive.”
The names of nearly all the agents who interrogated the men, the troops and medical staff that took care of them, and the countries where the men were kept before they got to Guantánamo in September 2006 are all considered national security secrets.
The filing does partially respond to the judge’s order to the prosecution to explain how remote Guantánamo can handle what has been described as the largest, most complex terror trial in U.S. history: A conspiracy case against Mohammed and four accused accomplices as the alleged trainers, directors, financial and travel planners of the 19 hijackers who seized four passenger aircraft and slammed them into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, and dozens more survived with physical and emotional injuries.
To be ready for January 2019, the prosecutors propose a series of mini construction projects, the addition of office space and a sixth prisoner holding cell to be completed in November 2018. No price tag is provided. Existing base lodging — from tents to trailers to hotel and guest officer quarters — is sufficient, they say, with prudent planning that includes:
▪ Seating only one death-penalty jury at a time.
▪ Creation of “a stateside staging location and surge arrangements for peak periods during trial comprising important facets.”
▪ Judges ordering various, potentially adversarial or independent parties to not communicate because “complete physical separation,” typically known as sequestration, is not possible at cramped Guantánamo.
▪ Bringing to the base a pool of just 60 U.S. military officers at a time, in a single week, from Jan. 7, 2019 — as the judges and attorneys question them in stages to assemble a 12-member, four or more alternate military jury, called a commission.
▪ Remote video teleconferencing for some trial witnesses, with the judge’s approval.
It also proposes that the judge could hold court on any day of the 2018 calendar with the exception of Christmas and the post-Ramadan Eid week — adding that in a real crunch six of those holiday weeks’ days could be used, too.
And, to assuage Pohl’s concern about the dignity of the proceedings, taxing the Top Secret subset of the 1,500-staff prison’s guard force and other logistics, the prosecutors offer the judge a single-page “scheduling sequence” to let him end each court day by 7 p.m.
It is blacked out in the document that was released Wednesday night to the public.
The prosecutors clearly don’t agree with Pohl’s assessment that night court is inappropriate.
They offer a plan of action “without conceding that military justice proceedings occurring beyond hours of daylight would be disorderly or otherwise lack the seriousness and sobriety that participants are professionally obligated to maintain.”
“What matters most about a legal system is not the grandeur of the physical surroundings or the trappings of the courthouse,” they write, “but rather the wisdom of the court and the quality of its justice.”
“Austere locations are nothing new to American civilian judges, advocates, and juries, nor to military practitioners,” they advise Pohl, currently the longest-serving judge in the U.S. military — who has held court-martial cases in overseas battlefield conditions, including in tents.
Pohl’s predecessor, in fact, once arraigned a war court defendant in shadowy light at the national security court because the power at the Expeditionary Legal Compound and other technology failed on its 2008 debut.
“This venue’s limitation and modest characteristics impose legitimate constraints without compromising justice,” they write of remote, 45-square-mile Navy base whose prison commander recently canceled separate bay transit for the judges who insist on segregation and whose base commander at one point canceled all war court guest quarters accommodations for a 9/11 hearing, with the exception of townhouses for Sept. 11 victim family members.


Infrared reflectance spectroscopy as a characterization probe for polymer surfaces and interfaces
Abstract (Summary)Only recently has external reflectance infrared spectroscopy been used to acquire structural information at the molecular level at air-liquid interfaces, and particularly to characterize in situ molecular chains adsorbed at the air-water interface. This technique has been applied for the determination of chain orientation, chain conformation and packing density of small molecules such as phospholipids, fatty acids and fatty alcohols on the surface of water, and more recently of macromolecular systems. Vibrational spectroscopy, a nondestructive technique, is especially successful in the determination of the conformational order or disorder of alkyl chains (e.g. trans/gauche ratio) as well as in the evaluation of coil, helical or extended conformations in poly(amino acids). In this thesis work, the construction of a microcomputer controlled Langmuir trough optically coupled to a FT-IR instrument has allowed the direct investigation of molecular films spread at air-liquid interfaces. Order-disorder transitions and relaxation behaviors in vinyl comb-like polymeric Langmuir films have been examined using simultaneously external reflection infrared spectroscopy and surface tensiometry. The structures of several poly(amino acid) films have also been studied as a function of surface packing density at the air-water interface.

December 7, 2021
In 2018, National Geographic photojournalist, Anastasia Taylor-Lind, used the eyeWitness to Atrocities (eyeWitness) camera app to uncover the everyday stories of civilians living in wartime Ukraine, whilst simultaneously gathering potential evidence of alleged war crimes. The project came about after eyeWitness commissioned Anastasia to collaborate with experienced team of human rights documenters, Truth Hounds, to test the eyeWitness app in a real-life conflict zone and offer her honest feedback.
You can watch Anastasia’s documentation journey in Episode 2 of our "eyeWitness in Action" series.
At the same time as gathering potential evidence with the eyeWitness app, Anastasia used her regular camera to capture photos of everyday life in Ukraine. These images came to be collated in a poignant article written by Alisa Sopova for TIME magazine. Then, in 2021, a sample of photos that Anastasia took with the eyeWitness app were submitted to the United Nations as evidence of alleged human rights violations in Ukraine.
This article offers a behind the scenes look at Anastasia’s documentation journey, the challenges she faced, and how her images came to be used as evidence.
Since its inception, eyeWitness has collaborated with civil society members to ensure that both its app and services meet the needs of documenters around the world. To that end, in 2018, eyeWitness commissioned Anastasia – who had already been reporting on war and life in Ukraine for four years – to test and evaluate the app. Like many eyeWitness partners and individual users, Anastasia had extensive experience using images, but she had no experience gathering potential evidence for legal purposes. This made her the ideal candidate to test the app.
eyeWitness organised for Anastasia to have the opportunity to shadow expert documentation organisation and long-term partner, Truth Hounds, who were embarking on a factfinding mission into potential human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law in Ukraine. Working with expert environmental advisors and local environmental activists, Truth Hounds sought to use images and interviews to document the ongoing shelling and gun fire, and how these were affecting people’s homes and the wider environment.
Using the eyeWitness app, Anastasia and Truth Hounds gathered images of trees allegedly burned by tracking rockets, eco systems ravaged by heavy artillery, shell craters, trenches, and damaged and destroyed houses. The purpose of using the app was to not only corroborate interviews, but to also geolocate and map the incidents.
The evidence-focused outlook that Truth Hounds and eyeWitness brought was of enormous journalistic benefit to Anastasia. Although Anastasia had managed to capture images of damaged houses and infrastructure, she had not told the story of the environmental damage caused by war and had struggled to photograph its less visible consequences. As she explained in her daily video diary, “I’ve been trying to tell stories about Eastern Ukraine for the last four years, and it’s a conflict that is very hard to visualise. For the most part, war doesn’t look like war – it just looks like everyday life.” However, using the eyeWitness app and working with Truth Hounds’ team enabled Anastasia to capture sights she would not normally be able to identify such as historical shell craters that had since become masked by wildflowers.
“It’s unlikely that a photojournalist would ever go and make a series of pictures of these almost invisible slight dents in the landscape and this environmental damage caused by war. You can hardly see it,” Anastasia said. “But using the eyeWitness app, the caption, information gathered from [the environmental expert], the geo-locating capabilities of the app, being able to map out that very, very localised damage to the landscape meant that I was photographing something that I would haven’t usually photographed.” As will be described later, this mapping and capturing of damage was essential for not only Anastasia’s documentation efforts, but also for seeking justice.
The next step was annotating the images within the eyeWitness app. Photos do not always readily explain which human rights abuse is being committed or who the alleged perpetrator is. For Anastasia and Truth Hounds, these pieces of information were revealed through hours of interviews. Moreover, the descriptions and causes of environmental damage were drawn from the team’s accompanying environmental experts. As such, Anastasia spent her evenings using the app’s image description function to write explanatory captions.
The final part of the documentation process was uploading the footage to eyeWitness’ server for verification and safe storage. Once uploaded, it was reviewed, tagged and catalogued by eyeWitness analysts, ready for eyeWitness’ legal team to begin looking at avenues for accountability and redress.
As a photojournalist, Anastasia’s goal was not only to collect potential evidence of environmental damage: she wanted to tell the stories of individuals and communities living within and around the conflict.
“Yes, we care about the environment,” said Anastasia. “We also care about the people inhabiting that environment.”
She went on to explain, “We are using the eyeWitness app to document evidence of shelling in civilian areas, but then we’re also finding people who are affected by this shelling and telling personal stories around the photographs that we make with the eyeWitness app.”
As such, whilst Anastasia used eyeWitness to photograph the physical devastation of conflict, she also used her professional camera to capture the everyday stories of marriage, parenting, cooking and celebration in Ukraine. As mentioned previously, these images were shared via an article for TIME magazine.
Anastasia’s mission with Truth Hounds revealed some important documentation challenges.
First was poor internet connectivity. Whilst the eyeWitness app works offline, users still need to connect to internet to upload their footage to eyeWitness’ server. In Anastasia’s case, she was only able to upload footage via her hotel’s wifi. Although the eyeWitness app automatically compresses the footage, uploading videos on a weak internet connection is always going to be a lengthy process.
Second were issues with aspects of the eyeWitness app itself that were incompatible with the fast-paced workflows of journalism. These included an inability to continuously scroll through images in the secure gallery, a prohibitive character limit on the image descriptions, and the fact that users could only transfer photos and videos off of the phone one at a time. All of these factors made the app difficult and time-consuming for journalists like Anastasia who capture hundreds – if not thousands – of images during a single investigation. The feedback was invaluable for eyeWitness and its partners. Indeed, eyeWitness has since overhauled the user interface, implemented continuous scrolling in the gallery, and enabled bulk sharing. To date, eyeWitness continues to regularly review and update the app in accordance with feedback from its partners and individual users.
Eventually, in March 2021, almost three years after Anastasia broke the story in TIME, her footage was used as evidence in a report submitted to the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing. In partnership with the University of Essex’s Digital Verification Unit, and with input from Global Rights Compliance, eyeWitness’ legal team used Anastasia’s and Truth Hounds’ images to ascertain the exact dates, times and locations of civilian houses damaged by shelling. Additionally, the team conducted an online investigation to gather evidence that could indicate whether there were reasonable grounds to believe that the damage to the civilian properties was an event of military nature in violation of international law. The final report called for the Special Rapporteur to initiate effective investigations into damage to civilian homes caused by constant artillery attacks.
Capturing the footage with eyeWitness broadened its accountability reach in a way that would not have been otherwise possible.
Anastasia’s documentation journey demonstrated some of the challenges journalists face when balancing the slow, methodical needs of evidence collection with the fast-paced realities of journalism. However, it also revealed the amazing ways that journalists can contribute to justice, especially when paired with professional documentation organisations like Truth Hounds.
Thanks to eyeWitness’ server, Anastasia’s footage continues to be securely stored, ready for potential future investigations.
Register for our upcoming virtual event with Truth Hounds:
As part of the ICC Assembly of States Parties 2021, eyeWitness is hosting a webinar titled 'Using digital technology for war crimes' documentation and accountability in Ukraine'. Featuring Truth Hounds, the event will give real-life examples of accountability efforts taken by Truth Hounds and eyeWitness based on footage received from Ukraine, discussing goals, challenges, and successes alike.

How Did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Meet?
The Way Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Met Is Actually Pretty Common
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romance quickly sped up, but how did the two love birds first meet? Coming from two different sides of the pond, the American actress and British royal actually met somewhere in between. According to Us Weekly, Meghan first met Prince Harry in Toronto (where her show Suits is filmed) while he was launching the 2017 Invictus Games in May 2016. After getting set up by their mutual friend Markus Anderson, whom Meghan often refers to as her "partner in crime" on social media, their transatlantic relationship soared to new heights. The duo started texting each other every day, and by the end of the month, Meghan started following Harry's private Instagram account. It wasn't long until the couple got engaged on November 27, with wedding bells set to ring on May 19, 2018.

I’m so happy with the service I got from Gaby! Wilmer seemed to take really well to her and he can be a little difficult sometimes! She did a great job communicating with me while I was gone to make sure I was at ease and didn’t worry about my pup! I returned home to an apartment that was exactly how I left it and I will definitely be looking to use her ...
We love Gabby! She treats our Lola with such kindness and is very reliable!! I would recommend her to everyone!
Gaby was awesome! Very easy to communicate with, and loved our babies the minute she met them. Oreo, who is 14 1/2, needed someone who would love on him and be patient. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Will definitely use her again!

Head lice can be a nightmare for parents, but a new silicone oil treatment can kill the lice and eggs in just 15 minutes
Combs over: Hedrin Once claims to kill both lice and eggs and end the need for repeat treatments (Posed by model)
For many parents, getting rid of an infestation of head lice is a marathon battle involving repeated treatments, many of which have to be left on overnight.
However, a new treatment has been clinically proven to kill all lice and their eggs in just 15 minutes.
Three million people - adults and children - are infected with head lice in the UK every year.
There are a variety of treatments available, from combs to shampoos and leave-in gels. The problem is that even if a treatment kills the adult lice, it often needs to be repeated a week later because there is no guarantee that all the eggs will be killed, too.
The latest treatment, Hedrin once, contains dimeticone, which kills lice by smothering them. It also contains a form of silicone oil which sticks to the lice and the eggs for longer, giving the dimeticone more time to really work.
In a trial involving 42 people, all with a confirmed lice infestation, it was found that using the treatment just once killed 100 per cent of the lice and eggs. Subsequent checks between six and 11 days later found no live lice or eggs.
'The good thing about this is the ease with which it can be used,' says Christine Brown, a freelance nurse consultant who specialises in head lice.
- Hedrin Once, £6.99 from Boots and pharmacies nationwide.

Ontario Highway 805
|Maintained by Ministry of Transportation of Ontario|
|Length||52.5 km (32.6 mi)|
|South end||Highway 539A at Sturgeon River|
|North end||Obabika Lake|
|Municipalities||West Nipissing, Temagami, Unorganized Sudbury District|
Tertiary Highway 805, commonly referred to as Highway 805, is a provincially maintained access road, located within the Nipissing District. A northerly extension of Highway 539A, the road extends for approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) to Obabika Lake, providing road access to the Chiniguchi Waterway, Obabika River and Sturgeon River provincial parks.
Route description [ edit ]
Highway 805 is a 52.5 kilometres (32.6 mi) route located northwest of North Bay which serves as a resource access road. There are no established communities along the highway, but access to Sturgeon River Provincial Park and Obabika Lake Provincial Park is provided from trails that branch off of Highway 805.
The route begins at a junction with the northern terminus of Highway 539A next to the Sturgeon River, and travels north from that point. Owing to the rugged terrain of the Canadian Shield, the winding highway crosses between Sudbury District and Nipissing District several times, but generally serves as the boundary between the two.
On an average day, only 100 vehicles travel along the route. Highway 805, unlike most other tertiary highways, is maintained during the winter months.
History [ edit ]
Highway 805 was designated in 1962, as a northward extension of Highway 539A, which was designated that same year, into Sudbury District. It was initially a completely unpaved road, and remains that way today.
Major intersections [ edit ]
|Nipissing||West Nipissing||0.0||0.0||Highway 539A – River Valley||Highway 805 and Highway 539A share termini; northbound drivers must turn right onto Highway 810, southbound drivers must turn left to continue on Highway 539A.|
|1.000 mi = 1.609 km; 1.000 km = 0.621 mi

Had this on tap at The Moan and Dove in Amherst, MA.
Brown liquid, almost completely opaque with no head. Aroma was of floral hops and a sweet smell reminiscent of brown sugar (although this could have been the malt).
Taste matched the aroma, with the bitter hop flavor dominating. However, what was interesting was the way in which the flavors emerged. The taste starts off bitter with the brown sugar flavor coming through in the background. Suddenly, the flavors then stop like a caesura, temporarily canceling out one another to nothingness. Then the bitterness and dry finish come back in a rage. Very cool effect.
Drinkability is only limited by the ABV. A nice beer. I have a bottle of this as well and am curious to see how that will taste as compared to on tap.

I picked up a bottle of this while buying a six of Weihenstephaner's Hefeweissbeir, to have something a little different, and because I am trying all the RyePAs I can.
This is a damn good beer! As I cracked it open, I can smell the fruityness coming off the bottle. On the pour, the nose is pineapple, citrus, and pine. Nice bit of head (giggity) that lingered longer than most, with light lacing. The taste is fruity, not at all as bitter as some IPAs I have had, and has nice malt sweetness and rye spicyness. It's not too carbonated, but nicely fizzy.
Total "hops & pineapple" burps, as I just found out as I write this review! *L*
A really fine version of this type of IPA. Totally earns its ranking, and I am not the biggest fan of the style. Easily will I recommend and buy this again!

pours well into my glass, a deep dark amber. The head is creamy off-white like the foam you may see in a latte. It has a bold scent of rye ale and alcohol. The scent really hits you as does that initial swig. That 18% rye content does a number on the flavor. Excellent craft ale from northern California once again.
Overall this particular brew earns a 4 and a quarter.
