Not enough money is being spent on maintaining and rejuvenating equipment at South African power stations and large process plants, which often feature old technology, which, in turn, results in high maintenance and breakdown costs, says targeted consulting and implementation skills provider Rifle-Shot Performance Holdings CEO Ian Huntly.
He advises that, as power becomes more expensive and demand increases across Africa, power utilities, for example, need to use new technologies to their advantage to ensure their assets run efficiently, so that more money can be reinvested into the plant, rather than being spent on breakdowns.
“We have developed a reference architecture model and system that State-owned power utility Eskom uses for its operations management, and safety and electronic permit systems. The system monitors the performance of power stations, provides safe working permits and keeps records of performance data on an electronic database,” explains Huntly.
He says information and procedures recorded on hard copy are open to abuse, while keeping information on an electronic database with workflows and approvals will ensure the information is safe.
The system has a number of functional packages, one of which is an operator-training simulator. Operators can practise issuing permits on a simulated plant that looks like the original working plant.
Further, Huntly says strict control can be implemented on the system to ensure plant personnel comply with safety regulations as well as to ensure plant security and efficiency.
Fingerprint technology is one such safety management technology.
Huntly explains that workers tend to give out passwords for restricted areas to others – a significant safety risk. The fingerprint access technology will ensure that only authorised personnel are allowed to access certain areas in the system, increasing security.
Power plants also have to be kept running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which sometimes leads to maintenance becoming a safety issue.
“We have built up a rule base of what can and cannot be done without shutting down the plant. This gives workers an idea of what is expected of them. We isolate the plant and prepare it for maintenance as quickly as possible to decrease the loss of production time, which, in turn, decreases the risk of a negative financial impact,” says Huntly.
Rifle-Shot provides training for its systems and works with power utilities to ensure the systems are correctly set up and that the project teams are able to operate the systems, which are also modified to accommodate process efficiencies.
Huntly says that, although contractors do not operate the system, they do need to be aware of its applications; therefore, training is also provided for active workers.
In some cases, the training can be done by the company’s own training department.
Further, the system enables offline training, which is installed at every site. This allows operators to learn about the system by using it in an offline working state.
Meanwhile, Huntly says the complexity of operating a power station is a challenge. These plants are capital intensive, there is a lot of activity and it is a challenge to gain an integrated view of what happens in all facets of the plants.
The operational performance, maintenance, safety and quality components all work together and there is a lot of pressure on power utilities to ensure that sectors are running smoothly.
“Electricity demand is high and utilities need to deliver more electricity to more people, as well as ensure that supply is efficient.
“For this, power plants need integrated information about what happens on site so that utilities do not waste capacity. Utilities need to invest in new technology to provide power or they face significant pressure and their operating costs increase,” Huntly states.
Rifle-Shot’s system uses a Microsoft database, which is easy to install and deploy across different power plants, and a lot of the system’s components use Microsoft’s technology stack.
The system also integrates to SAP planned maintenance and human resource software that enable operators to manage all aspects and provide a single view for management. The system runs off one database but has many modules and is decentralised so that every operating plant has its own computer on site.
Huntly says major technology developments include improved user interfaces, browser front-ends and artificial intelligence to guide people through operations and simplify tasks.
“The company also uses mobile technology, as many workers in the power generation sector are on site and required to complete several tasks simultaneously. We have hand-held remotes for electronic information capture, including multiple isolations and readings. Other power utilities have approached us for this technology,” he states.
The company is also working on new components and on making improvements to existing system components.

Cord blood has been investigated as an alternative source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but information about its use for multiple myeloma is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of cord blood transplantation (CBT) for patients with multiple myeloma. Eighty-six patients with multiple myeloma who underwent a first CBT between 2001 and 2011 were included in this retrospective study. Sixty-two of them had received other types of stem cell transplantation before CBT. The cumulative incidences of neutrophil engraftment at day 50, grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and chronic GVHD were 81.4%, 39.0%, and 19.5%, respectively. The incidence of nonrelapse mortality at 2 years was 39.0%, but it was only 6.2% in patients who underwent planned tandem autologous/reduced-intensity conditioning CBT (auto/RIC-CBT). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 6 years were 13.0% and 15.2%, respectively. Less than a partial response before CBT and lack of prior transplantation were independent significant adverse factors for PFS, whereas the presence of prior transplantation and planned tandem transplantation were associated with better OS. OS at 6 years in patients who underwent auto/RIC-CBT was 45.9%. In addition, the development of chronic GVHD was associated with superior PFS. In conclusion, we demonstrated that cord blood is feasible as an alternative graft source for myeloma patients. Although CBT provided long-term survival for a fraction of patients, optimal use of this graft requires further clinical studies.

Executives from the nation’s largest insurance companies gathered in Nashville last week at the annual America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute & Expo conference. We attended the event, and here are our thoughts on what was (and wasn’t) discussed.
Improving the customer experience is no longer an idea that’s relegated to the retail or hospitality industries. Now, the idea has gained traction across many industries, including healthcare. For health plans, improving the customer experience and providing member-centric care helps drive member acquisition and retention and improve reimbursement (via a better STARS rating).

is a banner attached to the side of the deep cavern that
is Ground Zero. It reads, "We will never forget." I
overheard a newscaster speaking what might be done with
those acres of land where the World Trade Center once
stood. Some hope that a memorial park will be developed
"so that we will never forget."
I cannot imagine ever forgetting
that fateful day. The images haunt us, relived again and
again on television and radio, endless books, magazines,
and e-mail photos. The news broadcasts of the Middle
East make us hold our breath and pray that there will be
no more tragedy, terror and anguish.
No. We will never forget because
we are all eyewitnesses. We will never forget because we
daily experience the effects upon our lives, our
families, our nation, and our world. We are the ones who
lost loved ones. It is said our world has changed
forever. For those of us alive today, we could see it
that way. No longer are we nave,
no longer are we blinded to the pain of worldwide anger
and suffering. We now feel the effects that a bombing
leaves behind. We now know something of what the world
on the other side of the ocean has experienced and some
continue to live with daily - fear of death and
destruction. No longer do we feel secure.
No, we will not forget, but the
day will come when 911 will join the long list of
horrific events in the history books. Oh, yes, students
will memorize the circumstances. Soldiers will increase
their readiness for a different kind of war. But the raw
pain of the open wound will eventually subside. We will
develop scar tissue that will cover the intensity of
fear, the desire to regain security through revenge,
retaliation, and retribution. The cry for justice will
not echo quite as loudly. The determined volunteers will
eventually stay home. And our children's children will
not understand why grandpa gets so angry on September
I was born in 1949 and I
"remember" nothing of WWII except the air raid drills
and the occasional defense plane flying over. I know of
the millions of Jews who lost their lives in Nazi
concentration camps. But I do not remember the dreadful
pain of being rounded up, herded like cattle into
railroad cars, stripped and thrown behind barbed wire
fences. Never seeing loved ones again.
I do not remember the anguish of
radiation burns nor the 140,000 people who died from
that first hydrogen bomb, nor the 60,000 buildings
destroyed in a three mile radius in Hiroshima, Japan.
I do not remember trudging the
long miles after we were torn from our lands and marched
to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.
I no longer remember what it was
like to lie in the ocean trying to cool the fever of
measles that the missionaries brought to our island.
Once we numbered a million. In less than a century we
were but 138,000.
I can no longer hear the screams
of my friends, my children as the traders of humans
disembarked from their ships with their rifles and guns.
We ran, we hid, but we were eventually dropped into the
cargo hold of that ship. The hatch closed and we stood
in darkness. 3,953,696 men, women, and children slaves
in America in 1860.
Around 722 BC Samaria fell. The
Israelites were deported into Persia and colonists from
Babylonia, Elam and Syria were moved in to take their
701 BC. Sennacherib entered
Judah, ravaged the country, 46 major cities were turned
over to Assyrian friendly nations and their people
In 587BC Jerusalem fell and all
the families of scholarly, economic or political
importance were marched to Babylon to remain in exile
for their entire lives.
I cannot hear their shouts, I
cannot feel their agony. I have no memory of these
events. I only know that they happened. Statistics tell
me how many and when - but I am not touched, I do not
cry until I see the faces of the sweaty, dirty,
exhausted rescue workers carrying out the injured and
dying. I do not cry until I see the anxious faces
waiting and waiting for news. Then history resonates
with something tragic in my life. Then I re - member!
Then the tears stream down my face. Then I feel the
hollow space in the depths of my being. Then I remember
the tragedy that is humanity's great inheritance. Sin.
Oh, how far I have wandered away from my God.
And yet, God has not allowed
that. God keeps pace with me, stands with me, supports
me. It was as if in that instant as we all stood aghast,
that the Holy Spirit soared aloft shouting "Wake up,
Wake up! See what your ways have allowed. This is not
what I created you for! Take up your cross and follow
me!" And they did. Thousands of people streamed onto
that site searching for, caring for, and praying for.
Thousands and thousands more poured in supplies and
financial support. As we saw the faces of the men and
women carrying victims and fellow co-workers out of that
burning disaster, I saw the anguished face of Christ
upon the cross. I saw the disciples carrying the body of
Jesus away from the cross and into the waiting arms of
his mother sobbing in sorrow. Some may call it the
spirit of patriotism - of America. But I would challenge
you to call it what it truly is. Jesus - alive!
So tell me again how our world
has changed. Is it the world? No. Our world continues to
throb with the pulse and rhythm of violence and peace.
Violence and peace. We still answer aggression with more
hatred and anger. We still commit crimes against our
fellow citizens. Men, women, and little children are
sadistically abused and murdered every day. People still
die of starvation, of incurable diseases. Not everyone
has an opportunity to earn a living wage. No, our world
has not changed. - - - - - - I have changed. You have
changed. But the question is . . . how?

If you’ve never felt comfortable about the size, shape, or overall function of your nose, there is a solution. A visit to the top rhinoplasty surgeon in Chicago (or a local surgeon in your area) is the first step in boosting your confidence, for good. Maybe you don’t think you’re a good candidate for a nose job or that you can’t afford it, but you won’t know for sure until you book a consultation.
As you’re browsing around for the top surgeons in your area, the questions will start to rack up in your brain. What will this cost? What are the procedural steps? Will recovery be painful? Before you get your much-deserved boost in confidence, it is vital to get all the answers about rhinoplasty procedures.
What is a rhinoplasty?
A rhinoplasty, known as a nose job to the average layperson, is an invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at restructuring the nose. It can be done to correct aesthetic issues or to improve the overall function of the nose. There are several reasons to get a rhinoplasty, including a hump in nasal bridge, chronic congestion, or abnormally-shaped nostrils.
What does the procedure involve?
This depends on the type of rhinoplasty your surgeon recommends. There are two main types of procedural practices: closed vs open rhinoplasty. The closed procedure is less invasive and is recommended for patients who need slight restructuring of the nose. During this procedure, the surgeon will cut small incisions inside the nostrils. He or she will then remove excess tissue and resculpt the nose.
An open procedure, on the other hand, is considered to be a more serious surgery. Instead of small incisions on the inside of the nose, the surgeon will cut at the base between the nostrils. Then extra skin will be removed, cartilage will be reshaped, or a nasal implant will be added. Each patient is different; your doctor will discuss your options and the recommendations based on your specific case.
Is getting a nose job dangerous?
No, it is not a dangerous procedure, but like any surgery there is some risk. It is fairly invasive, so you should be aware of the possible complications that could occur (although they are unlikely). An open rhinoplasty has more risk involved, and there is a small chance of these complications occurring: scarring, excessive bleeding, and infection.
Is a rhinoplasty an affordable procedure?
If the rhinoplasty is needed to improve the overall function of the nose, it might be covered by your insurance provider. Anyone getting the surgery for cosmetic reasons won’t have this luxury and will be required to pay out of pocket. Although this is not a cheap procedure by any means, many surgical facilities allow you to set up a payment plan. This means you will pay a monthly rate until the procedure is paid off entirely.
These are just a few of the common questions to ask before undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure. We recommend making a list of your questions to ask the surgical professional during the consultation period.

You Should Not Miss This Essential Advice About Vitamins And Minerals
A body needs the right nutrients to function. Just like any body needs carbs for fuel each day, the right vitamins help your body run better in various other ways. It is essential that you and your family are getting the proper nutrition from meals and supplements. Keep reading to learn how to make your diet healthier. proteins powders
The more balanced your diet, the more of the necessary vitamins you will consume. Try getting between five and seven portions worth of fresh produce daily, along with small protein portions. If this is not possible, quality minerals and vitamin supplements can be taken.
Make your diet more healthier and balanced by getting the proper amount of minerals and vitamins each day. Try to consume seven portions of vegetables and fruits every day, and also include a minimal amount of protein. In addition to this, you should take a basic, high quality vitamin supplement.
Calcium helps build and maintain strong bones. You must also have a good amount of vitamin D in order to absorb calcium. Sunlight, food and supplements all provide the body with Vitamin D. No matter how you ingest vitamin D, it will help with the absorption of calcium in your body.
A lot of people notice body aches without knowing why they are occurring. Rather than seeing a doctor over simple aches and pains, start supplementing your diet with vitamins and minerals. Fish oil and vitamin E are awesome ways to help your muscles out because they can soften them when they're strained or taut.
You can get vitamin D from both sunlight and the milk you drink. If you don't go in the sun much or don't drink much milk, think about a vitamin D supplement. This vitamin can help protect bones and keep them strong.
Though we may try to eat well, sometimes our budget doesn't allow us to. Vitamins and minerals make our bodies healthier and don't cost much.
Fruits and vegetables are great for the body; however, fresh produce is much better than canned. You may need to add a quality supplement to your diet, too.
Supplements are extremely vital these days. Processed foods at the store often won't give you nutrients you need. A simple multivitamin can do a lot to boost your nutrition.
It's a good idea to get ample amounts of manganese. It can boost wound healing and bone formation. Also, it boosts protein, cholesterol and carb metabolism. Whole grains, almonds, black and green tea and beans contain it. You can also purchase manganese supplements separately.
Not every person can absorb B12 effectively, and this is truer as you grow older. Though you may take a lot, you may not absorb any at all. You should get yearly tests to make sure you have adequate B12 levels.
Give your doctor a call and ask him which multivitamin is best for you. A lot of great information can be found online, as well. Just be sure to visit reputable websites. However, remember supplements are not regulated by the FDA.
Take more manganese. This nutrient promotes strong bones and rapid healing. It is also used to speed up how the body metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates. Manganese is in whole grains, beans, almonds and some teas. If you are on a specific diet that does not allow for foods containing manganese, you can always purchase it in the vitamin aisle of your favorite store.

Race 11 at Pimlico, May 20th, 2023
The Maryland Sprint Stakes is an annual Grade 3 Thoroughbred race for three-year-olds and up held at Pimlico. The race is run at a distance of six furlongs and has a purse of $100,000. The 2023 edition of the Maryland Sprint Stakes is set to feature a competitive field of 10 horses. Lets take a look at three contenders and my selection to win and place.
One of the main contenders appears to be #8 Straight No Chaser (3/1), who comes into the race off a dominating 7 ¼ length win in an Allowance race at Oaklawn Park. He has been happy in the mornings and should be among the favorites of bettors. Hall of Fame rider John Velazquez returns to the irons for trainer Dan Blacker. SNC has natural early speed and owns the fastest late-pace Equibase speed figure (128) of the group. He’s a very talented 4-year colt by Speightster. Look at his debut. He won on the turf sprinting 5f at Del Mar. Improving speed figures in three straight from a 93 to career-high 115. He’s been the post time favorite in five of six career starts. Could be six of seven after this race. Great value at 2/1 or better. Owned by Myself and MyRaceHorse. We are very high on him!
The other contender looks to be #7 Nakatomi (5/2 favorite), who has been training well, but hasn’t won since November 5th, 2022. No early speed could make it tough, although he does own the second-fastest late pace (113) speed figure. Don’t sleep on #10 Wondrwherecraigis, who does own early speed, and is the horse-for-course with two wins and one second in 3 lifetime starts at Pimlico. The 6-year old gelding by Munnings will have to prove he can win off Lasix. There is only one horse to bet in this race! See below!!
My Selection: #8 Straight No Chaser (3/1) to Win & Place!
Betting on horses can be a thrilling and rewarding experience. With careful analysis and research, you can find the winning horse with greater accuracy. Straight No Chaser should be closer to 9/5 on the morning line in my opinion. I think the field came up soft. All we need is a clean start. Straight No Chaser is next level fast and still improving. Book it!

The 9 Best Fridges of 2022
Best Overall: Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator with Ice Maker and Interior Water Dispenser
Also available on best buy
why should youd Get it: An integrated produce preserver keeps your fruits and vegetables fresh longer.
Keep in mind: There is no door alarm to warn you that one of the refrigerator doors is ajar.
We picked the Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator with Ice Maker and Interior Water Dispenser as our overall pick for the best fridge because it ticks most of the boxes when it comes to desirable features. French doors that provide easy access? Check. A variety of colors and finishes? Check. It even has an interior water dispenser so you can stay hydrated without an exterior dispenser getting in the way of the sleek silhouette of the device.
You can also choose from black, white, and stainless steel, with the latter available in fingerprint-resistant silver and black finishes to keep your device clean even if you have kids.
This Whirlpool refrigerator features a full-width temperature-controlled drawer that’s perfect for storing more produce or storing wide foods, like platters, sheet cakes, and pizzas. Frameless glass shelves extend from wall to wall of the fridge so you can take full advantage of the space, while a built-in produce preserver helps your fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer. Plus, there’s plenty of interior LED lighting so you can actually see the food in the back of your fridge.
Can a refrigerator really be beautiful? This one can, thanks to the French doors which facilitate the opening and the access to the articles. We especially like French doors for tight spaces where a full-width door could block movement in the kitchen when open.
The spacious freezer drawer makes it easy to access frozen foods and treats, and the wide shelves on the doors allow you to store gallon bottles and other large jars. Plus, it’s Energy Star certified, which means this refrigerator has proven to be more energy efficient than other non-certified options. The fridge doesn’t have a door alarm that tells you when a door has been left open, so you’ll always want to make sure you close the doors completely.

Sandy the Monsoon Puppy
There was something brown bobbing around the wash swollen by the monsoon rains, pulled along by the swift, vicious current. Leo Stanton Worthington knew it wasn’t a bunch of rags, or a pile of twigs, and when her ranch foreman Joey lassoed the bundle, it turned out to be a puppy. Leo immediately named the small shivering bundle Sandy.
Turned out Sandy was a very brave puppy and very loyal. In the following months, the puppy grew into a loving and sweet dog; a courageous dog that saved Leo from the clutches of kidnappers bent on murder. Of course, all of this happened in the late 1890s in the mystery novel, Take the Train to Tucson.
However, there is a lot of truth in fiction, and Sandy is one of those truths. The model for Sandy the Monsoon Puppy is the loving real life Labrador who has brought many years of happiness, and loyalty to her family. For fourteen years she has chased after little children and watched them grew into men and women, she has followed her owner Bill and Candy around with love just pouring out of her. Fourteen years is a long time for any puppy, and now it is time for Sandy to find her rest, but her spirit will live on, if not in reality, than in fiction.

Srinagar, June 27: Two soldiers have been paraded semi-naked through the streets and tonsured in Kashmir for an alleged attempt to molest a girl.
The public retribution — the first such in 17 years of insurgency — occurred in Bandipore, 65 km north of Srinagar, on Tuesday but details began trickling out only today.
The duo, who were rescued by police, have been arrested and a case of attempted rape has been lodged. The army said the charge has been “cooked up” and has ordered a probe.
Conflicting versions are doing the rounds. A relative of the 17-year-old girl said the soldiers in plainclothes had stepped into a house in Kunan village seeking food.
But an Associated Press report said the two posed as militants while trying to grab the girl.
“They entered their house looking for food. Then they asked the girl’s mother to leave the room, which she did. The two then caught hold of the girl and tried to outrage her modesty, but she resisted and raised an alarm,” the relative said.
Drawn by her cry for help, neighbours overpowered the duo. The villagers then beat up the soldiers, stripped them, shaved their heads and paraded them through the village market.
“The two armymen were beaten mercilessly,” Mir Imtiaz, the additional superintendent of police, Bandipore, said. As a lathi-charge proved futile, the police had to fire in the air to rescue the soldiers, he added.
The army has filed a counter-FIR for attempted murder against those who beat up the jawans and instituted a court of inquiry.
“The case of sexual assault has been cooked up and the locals were incited by militants. We have lodged a counter-FIR of attempted murder against the people who had thrashed our men,” said Colonel Manjinder Singh, the army spokesperson.
“We have taken the matter seriously and an inquiry will be conducted to ascertain the truth.”
Brigadier V. Garg, the commander of the area, said the soldiers were taken hostage by some residents of Kunan, where they had gone to collect intelligence. “The two soldiers were on patrol duty when civilians took them hostage,” he added.


Memory Interface Electrical Verification and Debug
DDR Analysis is a standard specific solution tool for Tektronix Performance Digital Oscilloscopes (DPO7000C or DPO/MSO70000C/DX/SX series).The DDRA/DDR-LP4 application includes compliance measurements which enables you to achieve new levels of productivity, efficiency, and measurement reliability.

- Defining Visual Trigger Areas to identify and gate area of interest for measurements
Automated Read and Write Burst detection over long record
Read and Write Burst detection using MSO channel
Read and Write Burst detection using Preamble matching
Results and reporting with waveform
The measurement configurations and JEDEC pass/fail limits are automatically applied for the selected measurements based on the memory specification and the selected speed grade. The results report includes DDR Measurements Statistical Data, Measurement Plots, and the screenshot of the waveforms with cursors.
Hyperlinks within the report allow navigation between the different sections.
The Tektronix DDRA solution can capture long records, automatically separate Read and Write bursts based on selected measurements and perform measurements over multiple Read or Write bursts. User can run multiple Runs by programming a number of populations or continuous Run to perform statistical analysis. The user can stop on a limit failure, to debug.
Verification versus debug
The DDRA/DDR-LP4 provides a comprehensive set of JEDEC measurements for different memory standards. In addition to this, it also provides access to the DPOJET advanced Jitter and Timing analysis engine that allows flexibility to reconfigure the existing measurements or to perform new measurements which are not defined by the JEDEC specification using new user specified test limits. It also features logging, filters, histograms, and time trends that are available in DPOJET. The user can also switch between debug mode and the compliance mode.
Memory interface analysis in DPOJET
The DDRA application allows the user to navigate to waveforms where Min measurements were measured; this allows the user to debug the Min measured value.
Oscilloscope triggering and waveform identification
The Tektronix Pinpoint®trigger system provides the most comprehensive high performance trigger system in the industry. The Pinpoint trigger system encompasses threshold and timing related triggers, Dual A and B Event Triggering, Logic Qualification, Window Triggering, and Reset Triggering.
The Advanced Search and Mark feature on the Tektronix MSO/DPO5000, DPO7000, and MSO/DPO70000 Series Oscilloscopes finds unique events in the waveforms. It scans acquired waveform data for multiple occurrences of an event and marks each occurrence.
The Search and Mark feature has a close relationship with the Pinpoint trigger system since they both can be used to discriminate signal characteristics. Search and Mark includes signal-shape discrimination features of the Pinpoint trigger system and extends them across live channels, stored data, and math waveforms.
Visual Trigger makes the identification of the desired waveform events quick and easy by scanning all the acquired analog waveforms and comparing them with the geometric shapes on the display. By discarding the acquired waveforms which do not meet the graphical definition, Visual Triggering extends the oscilloscope’s trigger capabilities beyond the traditional hardware trigger system.
Graphical triggering using Visual Trigger
These capabilities of the oscilloscope are very useful during debug and are also extensively used by DDRA/DDR-LP4 during the analysis.
Additional capabilities using a Performance Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
The Mixed Signal Oscilloscope allows probing of more signals on the memory bus and on the trigger and to view specific bus events. With a Tektronix MSO5000 or MSO70000 Series Oscilloscope, up to 16 digital channels can be used to view logic states of command and address signals such as RAS, CAS, WE, CE, or CS.
On the MSO70000, signal integrity of these 16 inputs can be analyzed using the iCapture™ multiplexing feature, which allows any of the digital input signals to be internally routed to one of the four analog channels of the oscilloscope. The measurements involving command-bus cycle timing can also be analyzed using the bus-decode features of the MSO and DDRA/DDR-LP4 software.
MSO70000 Series Oscilloscope probing command signals
In order to perform analysis on the memory bus, accessing the signal plays a very important role. The JEDEC specification requires the signals to be probed at the BGA balls of the memory device.
Tektronix, in partnership with Nexus Technology, is offering probing options such as BGA interposers that support different memory devices in a variety of form factors. The interposer includes an embedded tip resister placed very close to the BGA pad.
Introduction of an interposer and the oscilloscope probe may change the characteristics of the signal. Apply De-embedding filters to remove the effect of the interposer and a probe in the signal path to get an accurate representation of the signal at the probe point.

Logic debug and protocol analysis
When full protocol analysis or probing of the entire memory bus is required, a logic analyzer can provide this capability. The TLA7000 Series logic analyzers can also be linked with the Tektronix oscilloscopes to provide an integrated test setup, using iCapture tools.
This eliminates the need for double probing and allows full analog capture of any signals probed by the logic analyzer. In addition, the iView™ display allows to transfer of the oscilloscope data to a logic analyzer display, so that the data from both the instruments are analyzed and time-aligned on the display screen. Various types of probing solutions are available to support different form factors.

The first thing you should know is that NEM was supposed to be a fork of NXT, but the developers ended up making it from scratch Other than this, the coin has not been released as it was announced back in January, but the development of such a coin takes some time and therefore, it is understandable. NEM is a PoI coin that has been fairly distributed among stakeholders through what we would call an Initial Public Offering. Some noteworthy features that might be included in NEM are:
These are just some of the features that may be implemented by NEM, and I believe it justifies the amount of time it has taken. As of right now, NEMstakes can be exchanged through a decentralized assets exchange which can be found here. This is a very nice way for investors who don’t want to wait more to exit the coin. Each NEMstake is worth 1 million coins, and what is most interesting at the time is the fact that a stake is selling for an average of 2 bitcoin. Why is this important? At the start of the NEM distribution, stakes could be bought for .001 btc. Understand what I’m talking about now? NEM has already started to show signs the way NXT showed back in its day, but will it overtake it? Perhaps.
The most important part of a fully distributed coin is transparency, and that is something NEM does well. The NEM development team is composed of: ( through the bitcointalk announcement)
The NEM team has released updates on the coin though, having posted various pictures of what the wallet will look like, but I would like to show you one that caught my attention:
This photo shows the messaging system that is going to be implemented in NEM. Personally, I find it unmatched by any other messaging systems that have been put in place by other coins. It gives a feeling as if you were emailing a person which I find to be very useful as most messages will probably be business related transactions, and we all know communication is key in any kind of transaction. Another feature I like that the NEM wallet will include is the ability to drag items in the dashboard. What does this mean? I can only explain it by showing it:
The best way to explain how this dashboard works is by comparing it to the Windows 8 dashboard in which you can drag applications to your desired spot. Customization is key in NEM, and the wallet is the sheer representation of customization. Personally, I did buy into NEM early on, and I’m proud of my investment as others are too. It just comes to show, Patience truly is a virtue, and even more so in the cryptocurrency world with a market so volatile. The only coins to succeed are the ones that excel in three aspects: innovation, community backing, and a good developer team, and I firmly believe NEM excels at all of them.
Born and currently living in Panama. Currently studying finance as a major. I have a great passion for bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. Feel free to comment! I am sure we will have interesting discussions.
