Andrew Thomas at his internship with Yuva Unstoppable.
From the moment he stepped foot on IUPUI’s campus as a first-year, Fremont, Indiana native Andrew Thomas, B.A. ’18, knew that he wanted to major in philanthropic studies.
“I had volunteered and worked at nonprofits in high school, and was pretty involved with the local community foundation. The foundation’s executive director, Jennifer Danic, M.A. ‘06, is a graduate of the master’s degree program here, so she told me about the school and its programs,” Thomas said.
So, Thomas arrived on IUPUI’s campus, ready to get involved in classes and extracurricular activities. He joined a fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, and became heavily involved in its philanthropic activities.
“I was the philanthropy chair for two years. As part of that role, I helped start an event called Queen of the Nile, a seven-week fundraiser that raised almost $10,000 for both the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Alzheimer’s Association,” he said.
“During my junior year, I was vice president and oversaw all of the chairs we had, tracked the fraternity’s daily functions, etc. That year, another member and I led the fundraising efforts for the Queen of the Nile, and we raised $13,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association.
Thomas credits Genevieve Shaker, Ph.D.’s class Donor Motivation and Engagement as one that shaped his thinking and gave him new ideas on how to better fundraise.
Thomas (far left), with other members of the 2018 graduating class.
Thomas also learned about the theoretical and practical sides of philanthropy in his internships. In his first one with the Steuben County Community Foundation, Thomas conducted donor and grantee interviews for stories for the foundation’s newsletter, planned the annual meeting, and completed other tasks as needed.
For his second internship, he knew he wanted to go abroad.
With these experiences in mind, Thomas spent time during his senior capstone reflecting and thinking about what he wanted to do in the future.
So, he sent an email to the Delta Sigma Phi headquarters in Indianapolis, where he interviewed and received a job soon afterward as a chapter support specialist.
Now, Thomas looks forward to traveling through New York, Wisconsin, California, Utah, North Carolina, and Louisiana, providing leadership workshops and other training programs for various chapters of his fraternity. He is excited to work with the chapters and to help them grow.
“They paired me with chapters that best fit with me and vice versa as well, so it’ll be a great experience to travel and to make a difference with these chapters and men,” he said.
But Thomas doesn’t plan on stopping there.
“I have my evenings free, so I want to use the knowledge I’ve gained through classes and meet with fraternity alumni in the evenings,” he added. “The fraternity has a small foundation, but has over 100,000 alumni. That’s a huge pool of potential donors who are not donating currently because they haven’t been asked or aren’t stewarded to the extent they could be because of the foundation staff’s limited capacity.
Looking back, the recent alum wouldn’t trade his experiences at IUPUI and the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy for anything.

Try to add up the hours you spend in your car. It’s a lot, isn’t it? Commutes, errand runs and road trips can have you sitting in those bucket seats for hours on end, and during that time, you and your passengers are actually living in the interior. That means smudges on the windows, scratches on the dash and food in the seat crevices accumulate and leave you wondering what happened to the spotless interior you swear it had when you first bought the car.
Luckily, it’s not that difficult to keep a car’s cabin from looking a little too, well, lived in. First things first, get something to stuff your trash into. Just use a plastic bag or a container you don’t use around the house and throw it in the backseat. You can even affix a temporary hook to the door or seat to keep things even neater. Every once and awhile, take it out and relish in the fact that you haven’t spent an hour cleaning up. Keeping trash off the floor also preserves your carpets, which can get stained from any number of items.
The idea of taking a rag to your dash and leather seats is made easier if you have them on-hand. The key here is to just use a little bit of soapy water to wipe the surfaces of your car – some cleaning products contain alcohols that prematurely dry and age the materials by reducing the flexibility in the vinyl. Store a small spray bottle of your homemade cleaning fluid and a rag under your seat or in a storage bin for access when you’re waiting for your kids to get out of school or sitting in that crazy-long drive-through line. This will also come in handy when an emergency spill happens. Lastly, keep your car smelling like roses (or at least a laundromat) by adding dryer sheets under the seats.
You can’t discount the impact weather has on your vehicle either. In summer, sandy feet can quickly make a mess of an interior, and dare we mention the destruction caused by mud and snow? If you spend a lot of time ducking in and out of the elements, you might want to grab some all-weather floor mats. They’re easy to clean and do a great job of keeping the muck in one place.
The sun’s rays can also wreak havoc on your car’s surfaces, causing vinyl to crack over time and materials to fade. A simple solution is to regularly put a sunshade on the windshield. They’re inexpensive and help to keep your interior looking new.
Saving money on repair work and cleaning comes more easily when you take the time to make preventative care a priority. Not only will these tricks make your car a nicer place to be, keeping grime out of your ride will cut down on large maintenance costs in the future and will help to retain its value over time.

Nursing stats you’ve never heard of until now!
We were surprised and shocked by some of these interesting statistics and we’re left believing even more strongly than ever before about the importance of honoring and protecting nurses.
We asked our Facebook fans what kind of side jobs they have (or have had) to make some extra dough; check out their answers for some inspirations and, occasionally, warnings!
Employment statistics show there’s still a discrepancy between male and female salaries, particularly in the upper echelons of the business world. But is it true for nursing?
Employment for NPs is expected to grow at a much faster rate than the average job. Here’s what NPs can expect in different areas of the U.S.

The currently used compiler for Haskell (GHC 7.4.1) is over 3 years old, which is significant considering the evolution speed of Haskell ecosystem. Could you please upgrade to latest GHC version ? It should be as straightforward as installing the latest Haskell Platform distribution.
Could you add the Lens package to the Haskell installation? It's a really common library for working with nested data structures, which I think will be fairly common. A lot of people trying to do bots in Haskell will likely want to use Lens.
Perhaps a lightweight lens library would be sufficient (e.g. microlens) ?
I'll add it to our TODO list.
Also, GHC 8 has just been released :) .

The title says it all really as the days now grow shorter than the nights there is a chill in the air and winter lurks in the wings of the failing summer. With only a few days left of this years brown trout season there is a real urge to have a final shot at some of the bigger fish that travel up our local rivers, and so I wandered down the upper Derwent the other evening with trout in mind.
A few days before I had been out on a bright day in difficult low water conditions with a client and though the fishing was hard we managed a couple of small trout. Travelling back towards the car the sunshine was lower in the sky and with the exceptional clarity of the river we spotted a pod of half a dozen big fish resting nervously in a four foot glide. Two were around the three pound mark but the others were very big fish somewhere upwards of four or maybe five pounds and I realised we were looking at a pod of sea trout. that night was cold and clear which is never ideal for fooling these difficult fish so I waited till the day after before nipping down for an hour a little before dusk. There had been a few showers high up in the hills and the river was just a couple of inches up on the previous day but not enough I reasoned for the fish to have moved on. Setting up my trusty Guideline seven weight I fished down through the pool above to get the tricky casting polished enough to venture beneath the canopy of willows slightly above the sea trout lie. Swinging one of my black pearl singles across the tail there was a swirl and a nudge then nothing. Muttering about short takes I plopped the fly off the trees on the far side , let it sink a moment then started the twitching swing over the same area. Swing, twitch thump! and the trout erupted into the air. Not a sea trout but after a great hard fight I slid the net under the fish in the first picture. At sixteen inches and very dark it was typical late season brownie and a great start.
Fuelled with optimism I slipped down river to the pool where the real big fish lay in wait. Tricky fishing here under the tunnel of willows, and tight jump roll casts were required as I teetered along in deep water an inch off the top of my waders, but surely , any minute now there will be that solid pull of a sea trout in the dusk.
Fishing as well as I could, it seemed every cast deserved a fish. By the time I reached the tail of the pool, I’d had absolutely nothing apart from a bad dose of seepage over the wader tops!.
For in spite of only the slightest rise in water, they had moved on !
I was kind of philosophical as the moon rose over the fields. Somehow happy and disappointed at the same time. Content with the big brown trout and even more satisfied with the way I had fished through the difficult tunnel of trees. It would have been good to have met one of those very large fish, but sometimes with a fly rod, the fishing is sufficient in itself. And for that I am eternally grateful.
Meanwhile, I’m off to the upper Lune tomorrow for one last cast.

A year ago to the day, Toronto FC were still strolling along the confetti-laden path of their well-earned victory lap.
It was only weeks removed from the club winning their first MLS Cup, the perfect dismount to a season in which they collected a Canadian Championship, Supporters' Shield and new league single-season record for points. A quick glance of the Toronto FC 2017 Wikipedia page (shhhh-- don't tell my editors) offers a snapshot of their dominance. One column reads: "1st. 1st. Champions. Champions. Champions."
Then 2018 happened. For their lofty expectations, they couldn't theoretically have done much worse than they did, finishing ninth in the Eastern Conference, a dizzying 14 points (!!) off the playoff pace, a full 33 points worse off than they were the year prior. As an extra kick to the teeth, the New York Red Bulls erased their single-season point record just as the ink dried from last season.
Sebastian Giovinco, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley are all one year older, each entering the final year left of their current Designated Player contracts. Giovinco has been particularly public. "Red..." Giovinco wrote in an Instagram post "at least until next year." Lobbying for a new deal or rumblings of trouble ahead? We'll see.
This offseason presented a crossroad for the TFC decision-makers: Run it back with this core (at least) one more time or put a pin in what's happened and transition to a new era at BMO Field?
They chose the former, evident with the signing of 33-year-old center back Laurent Ciman, announced on Thursday.
Ciman played at an MLS Best XI level for LAFC last season before departing on a four-month European sojourn with FC Dijon in Ligue 1. He made nine appearances in the league with Dijon, who currently sit in 18th place. Now, he's back in MLS, where he was named 2015 Defender of the Year and a three-time MLS All-Star in four seasons.
Even at 33, in Ciman the Reds acquired a top-of-the-line central defender, one that should cure their 2018 defensive woes that saw the club concede 64 goals. That and a return to fitness for Chris Mavinga, who was limited to just 12 appearances in 2018. Barring another apocalyptic injury list, TFC have as deep and talented a defense as most in the league to pair with their imperious attack.
Stretched to play across multiple fronts again with the CCL Round of 16 beckoning in February, that depth will be useful, if not vital. Ciman joins Mavinga, Drew Moor, Eriq Zavaleta and Nick Hagglund as options in the center of defense, with Auro, Justin Morrow, Gregory van der Viel and Nick DeLeon as primary fullback options.
Head coach Greg Vanney has more options now, too. A three-man backline out of tactical preference than injury-induced necessity, featuring Ciman, Mavinga and Moor, is on the table. I'm sure Vanney already has a few plans in the works.
Even during their early-season slide last season, coinciding with their laborious CCL run, most experts and fans alike banked on Toronto figuring it out and picking up the requisite points. When the losses kept piling and the remaining games continued to dissipate towards the season's midpoint, most still banked on TFC awakening to a violet climb north over the playoff line. Even when the LA Galaxy came to BMO in mid-September with Toronto yet to perform as expected, far off sixth place and with a hellacious remaining schedule, we still wouldn't have been shocked to see the club make the playoffs.
Such is a testament to Toronto's squad. But, title windows can close without much warning.
By the time the 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs kick off, if Toronto return where they expect to be, their core may be looking at one more chance. Ciman will be 34, Bradley, Giovinco and Victor Vazquez 32. Contracts will be up, pay raises expected and a few on the other side of 30.
Whatever. Those questions can wait until next offseason. Toronto are all-in on 2019 with the chance to take another victory lap this time next year.

North Texas researchers are preserving space history one step at a time. Engineers transcribed 19,000 hours of audio recordings from several NASA moon missions kept on an outdated analog tape system. One track might have between three to 33 people speaking at one time. The communications can be listened to on the Explore Apollo website.
“Developing the technologies to pull that audio off, digitize it, but also start to learn how people worked collaboratively when they didn’t see each other and how to solve these problems was a major challenge,” said Dr. John Hansen, holder of the Distinguished Chair in Telecommunications, professor of electrical and computer engineering and a leader of the project.
Speech signal processers in the Jonsson School’s Center for Robust Speech Systems (CRSS) analyzed and processed audio from NASA moon missions to make them public through the Explore Apollo website. At the time of these missions, computers were only used for computational purposes so all communications were done orally.
The Hutto United Robotics team claimed the 2017 UIL State Championship at the BEST of Texas Robotics Tournament, held Dec. 7-9 at the University of Texas at Dallas. The championship comes after last year's second place finish in the State UIL competition.
There was a lot more said during the Apollo 11 missions besides "the Eagle has landed" and "that's one step for man." To help preserve and make accessible the thousands of hours of recorded mission audio, a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas used speech recognition technology to unscramble and analyze the conversations between astronauts, mission control, and technicians across a quarter of a million miles of space. The research was published in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing.
“We couldn’t’ use [SoundScriber], so we had to design a new one,” said Dr. John Hansen, associate dean for research in the Jonsson School and professor of electrical and computer engineering about the one device – SoundScriber – that could play raw recordings of audio from the missions. Using SoundScriber alone, it would have taken 170 years to handle the Apollo 11 mission tapes alone.
UT Dallas researchers are investigating the effectiveness of a nanoscale “sponge” that may help filter out radioactive particles from nuclear waste. In work published in Nature Communications, they trapped radioactive molecules using tiny metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, which are composed of metal ion centers and organic molecules that link parts of the structure together. That link creates a microscopic scaffold, or trap, that is able to capture specific gases and other molecules.
Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham, who was honored by the Dallas Business Journal as a 2017 Women In Technology honoree for being a leader of technological innovation in North Texas, shares her favorite advice to give to others.

“The concept brings together an assortment of existing nanoscale technologies and combines them in a new way,” Friedman said.
Zac Cooner, a software engineering junior and co-founder of the Cosmunity platform that allows “geeks” to connect online, about turning the popular app into a business.
"Between the fundraising, the technical capabilities and the design that we put together, that was enough to get the ball rolling last summer," Cooner said.
Doctoral candidate Junia Valente about her lab uncovering a bug in the DBPOWER Quadcopter.
"The device contains an open access point not protected by any password and a misconfigured FTP [file transfer protocol] server that allows unauthorized users to read and write to the drone filesystem," she said. "One of the attacks we did was precisely to overwrite sensitive system files to gain full root access."
Dr. Murat Kantarcioglu, professor of computer science and member of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute, using public Wi-Fi stations.
"Sometimes those chargers may be hooked to another compromised device," he said. "If you go to a website Wi-Fi, and then it asks for you to download something, I wouldn't do that"
Dr. Murat Kantarcioglu, professor of computer science and member of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute, on Dallas’ emergency siren systems being hacked resulting in blasting sirens across Dallas in the middle of the night for an hour and a half.
"This could be exploited either from remotely…or even from the inside," he said.
Is This UT Dallas Discovery Pop Art or Nanotechnology?
Dr. Moon Kim, professor of materials science and engineering and arts and technology, about advanced microscopy that revealed on materials at the atomic level a pattern looked like an American flag.
"First, we saw a new pattern begin to emerge that was aesthetically pleasing to the eye," said Kim, a Louis Beecherl Jr. Distinguished Professor. "When we examined the material more closely, we found that the transition we were seeing from 'stripes' to 'stars' was not in any of the phase diagrams. ... Normally, when you heat up particular materials, you expect to see a different kind of material emerge as predicted by a phase diagram. But in this case, something unusual happened — it formed a whole new phase."
The highly ranked university has been a major asset to area children and teens with its many camps, workshops and outreach programs, enhancing the students’ studies or introducing them to something new.
"We are very vulnerable,” he said. “Being aware of these kinds of attacks and always verifying and limiting what you disclose will make it less risky for you."
Zac Cooner, a software engineering junior and co-founder of Cosmunity, an app for "geeks" to be comfortable "expressing their true selves."
"We do take a strong stance [on tone] – we believe that this is a positivity-driven community," he said.
Dr. Reza Moheimani, holder of the James Von Ehr Distinguished Chair in Science and Technology and professor of mechanical engineering, about his team’s creation of an atomic force microscope that fits onto a computer chip.
"Our ultimate aim is to develop a system that can perform video-rate AFM imaging using a single MEMS chip. The current device successfully demonstrates many of the capabilities required, and future iterations of the device will be designed to further work towards this goal. Such a device would enable high-speed AFM imaging to be performed using a portable and cost-effective system."
Dr. Taylor Ware, assistant professor of bioengineering, about the creation of a strong adhesive that can quickly stick and unstick with just a flash of light.
"Each one of these pillars is like rubber, as well as its backing, which would feel similar to a rubber band," he said. "In theory it would leave no more residue than rubber if they engineer the material in such a way that you can effectively prevent the breaking of these columns."
Dr. Kevin Hamlen, associate professor of computer science and member of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute, about fake apps available in technology stores.
"Consumers of those devices sort of have this sense of confidence that anything in the story is probably trustworthy and that might be unwise."
Dr. Robert Rennaker, a former Marine who now heads the Department of Bioengineering and directs the Texas Biomedical Device Center, about brain injury treatment being tested.
"As a marine, you see these guys coming back with injuries and the doctors really can't do anything for them," he said. "My hope is that when they come back the docs will say, 'Hey we've got something for you,' whereas right now we don't."
Texas Instruments CEO Richard K. Templeton at a lecture in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, as well as University Founders Day, about how students can maximize their time at UT Dallas.
"It really comes down to your creativity, your curiosity, your urgency, your desire to make an impact," said Templeton, also TI’s president and chairman. "Those will be the differentiators that go on top of that knowledge that you pick up while you’re here."
Dr. Nicholas Gans, clinical associate professor of electrical engineering, on KERA’s Think program.
"I think what will be more likely in the near future is that the vehicles will have the ability to communicate with each other via the internet with civil infrastructure or with authorities."
Dr. Shalini Prasad, associate professor of bioengineering, about her work published in Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical about the development of a wearable device that can monitor an individual’s glucose level via perspiration on the skin.
"We used known properties of textiles and weaves in our design," she said. "What was innovative was the way we incorporated and positioned the electrodes onto this textile in such a way that allows a very small volume of sweat to spread effectively through the surface."
Dr. Robert Rennaker, head of the Department of Bioengineering and holder of the Texas Instruments Distinguished Chair in Bioengineering, on becoming a world-class researcher who uses vagus nerve stimulation to rewire connections in the brain to treat a variety of neurological disorders.
"We are walking in the woods and smell a particular odor,” he said. “If a bear immediately jumps out, and we happen to survive, we will forever connect that smell with the danger of a bear."
Dr. Kyeongjae (KJ) Cho, professor of materials science and engineering, on news about faulty lithium-ion batteries that explode.
"When you see something happening you tend to panic and try not to use any battery. I’m going to throw away my cell phone because there’s a battery inside. That’s not a good attitude."
Dr. Nicholas Gans, an assistant professor of electrical engineering who is part of the computer engineering program, on making some of the key technology that will make self-driving cars practical, affordable and reliably safe.
"I would consider a self-driving car to be a robot. And you’ll find that the researchers that are working on these problems all for the most part came out of the robotics community – the technology, the mathematics, the understanding of sensors and motion planning and interplay – these really are fields of robotics."
Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham, professor of computer science and executive director of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute, on.
"Whenever you have a microprocessor, there is a potential for vulnerability because there is the hardware and software that goes with it. There is some malicious code they could have exploited."
Dr. Kamran Kiasaleh, associate dean of assessment for the Jonsson School, on Facebook using light to wirelessly transmit internet signals.
Dr. Ryan McMahan, assistant professor of computer science, about using virtual reality to train surgical staff.
"Medical VR training can ensure that healthcare professionals are aware of proper procedures and protocols, can allow them to practice those procedures without harming others, and can inform those workers what the consequences of bad practices could be. Altogether, these aspects should ensure that healthcare workers are better prepared for their jobs and ultimately provide better patient care."
Dr. Kyeongjae Cho, professor of materials science and engineering, on using soluble catalysts in lithium-air batteries instead of conventional solid crystals.
"There’s huge promise in lithium-air batteries. However, despite the aggressive research being done by groups all over the world, those promises are not being delivered in real life…hopefully this discovery will revitalize research in this area and create momentum for further development."
Dr. Robert Gregg, assistant professor of bioengineering and mechanical engineering, about robots such as MARLO that walk on unstable terrain.
"The ability of MARLO to gracefully navigate uneven terrains is very exciting for my work in prosthetics."
Aaron Quigg, a mechanical engineering student and leader of a team building a single-seat, gas-powered, 200-pound vehicle to compete in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2016.
"I would rather be doing this than homework. It’s more fun."
Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham, executive director of the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute at UT Dallas, on ransomware being like a home burglar.
"But this is even more dangerous, because you can attack a person’s machine from anywhere. It’s a malicious way of doing things. They really want to cause as much havoc as possible."
Husam Wadi, a mechanical engineering student who so far has won $4,000 in scholarships playing Polycraft World, the comprehensive Minecraft modification kit created by a UT Dallas team. Polycraft World was created to infuse polymer chemistry into the video game.
"So for instance what’s this one? Quiksilver! Quiksilver," Wadi says to his youngest brother in the video. "So my little brother, who has no idea of the periodic table or anything else, can now easily find out what element goes to what. Because before Polycraft, there was just iron, diamond and gold. That’s it. Then you come to Polycraft and there’s 20 different elements."
Dr. Arif Malik, associate professor of mechanical engineering, about event organized to help teenagers on autism spectrum gain experience in group design problems.
"What we want to do is give them the team working skills so that they pursue college and careers beyond college in science and engineering, that they’ll be successful in working on those teams"
Dr. Mario Romero-Ortega, associate professor of bioengineering, on his research that found animals with neuropathy can experience pain around cellphone towers.
"I met Ret. Maj. Underwood, who visited our lab. He was the one who told me his experience feeling tremendous pain, basically reliving the explosion that took off his arm in Iraq. [He said] to me that he relives that pain every time he drives through a cellphone tower in Texas. So, to me, that was incredible. I have never heard anything like that before. So knowing how the nerve responds to injury, I thought I could possibly test that in the lab."
Dr. Kenneth K. O, professor of electrical engineering and director of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE) at UT Dallas about an electronic circuits manufactured is CMOS technology that could make breath analysis affordable.
"It means blood test, without taking blood samples. Breath analyses using the programmable electronic nose tests both blood and digestive systems. The applications are limitless."
Jey Veerasamy, senior lecturer in computer science, on waiting to introduce kids to coding until they are at least second grade.
"There’s no need to rush. Younger kids may benefit, but you have to remember that it’s not for everybody."
Aria Nosratinia, professor of electrical engineering, about one of three grants recently awarded from the National Science Foundation to investigate wireless communications technology.
"We aim to develop methods that break the wireless messages into microstreams, or smaller pieces, enabling them to be transmitted through-rather than against-other signals in the environment."
Dr. Balakrishnan Prabhakaran, professor of computer science, principal investigator of a National Science Foundation-funded project that uses haptic devices to enhance remote visits between doctors and patients.
"We’re bringing the sense of touch to telemedicine."
Dr. Robert Rennaker, head of the Department of Bioengineering in the Jonsson School and director of the Texas Biomedical Device Center.
"The current preclinical models of fear are poor models for PTSD. This grant includes a new preclinical model so we can better understand the mechanisms behind PTSD before moving it to clinical trials."
Dr. Robert Wallace, professor of materials science and engineering, about his team’s work published in Nature Communications on how transition metal dichalogenides, or TMDs, could behave like a semiconductor switch.
"If realized, these materials could revolutionize the electronics industry and better enable even higher-performance portable devices like smartphones and the Internet of Things. Their atomically thin layer nature gives rise to the concept of two-dimensional semiconductor materials."
Dr. Robert Gregg, assistant professor of bioengineering and mechanical engineering, about his powered prosthetic that can dynamically respond to the wearer’s environment and help amputees walk.
"The feedback from the amputee patients we've worked with has been very positive," Gregg says. "They felt like the prosthetic leg seemed to be following them rather than them following the leg. They can start or stop, and the leg will respond; they can go faster or slower, and the leg will respond to that naturally."
Among the projects created by computer science UTDesign teams this fall are a virtual reality cardiac model to improve patient/physician communication; a workflow model application with a modern and intuitive design; and a chatbot that helps a users of a company’s webpage find what meets their needs more efficiently.

OMR software is used to capture data from OMR sheets. The use of OMR is not limited to schools or data collection agencies; many businesses and health care agencies use OMR to streamline their data input processes and reduce input error. OMR, OCR, and ICR technologies all provide a means of data collection from paper forms (Paper to Digital).
Generally, Career Sarthi company will charge a one-time price for the purchase of OMR software with a lifetime license. OMR licenses are economical when you consider deployment of evaluation centers at multiple locations. Unlike the OMR scanners, evaluators can process the sheets from any location using the OMR sheet software at reduced prices. The software facilitates cheap and fast multi-location deployment, considering that the OMR scanners need to be physically deployed at each evaluation center, which takes a lot of time and money. OMR software solutions are undoubtedly preferable for conducting examinations on an international scale.
OMR software solutions come with easy maintenance and do not need continuous attention from personnel, which is always needed in the case of the traditional OMR scanners. Besides, machine based solutions are prone to wear and tear and hence have a definite lifespan. Needless to say, software solutions never die, and technical issues can be resolved remotely.
Upon using the software for over a year, advanced users can opt for additional software updates, which can be downloaded from the central server and installed in the computers. Extra training modules and continuous technical support can also be availed by paying a small annual maintenance fee. The process of OMR - Optical mark recognition has totally changed in last 10 years. Earlier expensive OMR sheet reader machines were used as OMR sheet readers.
Now the OMR sheet reader software is used as OMR sheet checker and OMR form reader. OMR sheet printing can be done using normal laser / inkjet printer or photocopy or offset printing.
Any ADF scanner (Automatic scanning from pocket) can be used for OMR sheet scanning. Any regular flatbed scanner (1-by-1 sheet) can be used as an OMR sheet scanner. OMR software is the main component in the OMR sheet scanning process.
The technology is easy to use and requires little training.
This helps us to easily detect mistakes in an answer sheet.
You can also take printout of OMR Sheets from any other mode like Digital Printing, Offset Printing, Web Printing etc.
Our Software doesn't come with any separate Hardware (like Pen drive etc.) thus it has least maintenance cost.
it provides Breakup of individual performance like- weak topics, subjects etc. This helps in enhancing/improving individual performances.
Institutes save lots of time and money which otherwise have gone in vain if they are using manual way of checking OMR Sheet. Our OMR software provides result analysing up to the speed of 40 sheets per minute. Institute can process multiple type of Mock Tests (exam sheets) of uncommon Examinations at the same time.
We are providing App for Individual results which is free for the students. No need of Displaying result through Excel Sheet (But we have the facility of exporting results on excel or PDF).
Career Sarthi is best in providing OMR Software Solutions and OMR sheet reading outsourcing services in India which include OMR Software, OMR Sheet & OMR Scanners for objective OMR Answer Sheet checking or objective MCQ Answer Sheet checking and OMR Form reading.
Our softwares are relied upon by the most sensitive and used across organisations which include Recruiters, HR Firms, Coaching Classes for Competitive Exams, Schools, Engineering & Technology Colleges and other Professional Education Institutes.
OMR Software has gained popularity in the IT solutions market, profoundly because of its cost-efficient techniques as compared to its expensive hardware counterparts (like OMR machine scanners). Even for a first-time user, a completely new integrated system comprising the OMR software and a flatbed or an ADF(Automatic Document Feeder) scanner will cost only about 1/4th the price of an OMR scanner machine.

I want to ask a quesiton.
When I change present sim card(Tr telsim) on the module with another operator(TR ARIA)’s sim card the module registered and I took +Creg 0,1. Stat led was corrected to registration. But it was became only one time. when I power off and again power on I took unregistration codes.
Forbidden are all cells of other operators.
So you have poor coverage of your GSM operator in your area.
Forum admin’s don’t say anything. Why? I dont know.
I think I must buy onother module trademark.
My advice is first to chenge GSM operator. Only 2 suitable cells is very poor coverage and if they are overloaded, you will no have any communication, especially if you try GPRS.
Can you try with another SIM like Turkcell (286 01) or Vodafone (286 02)? It seems they have better coverage then Aria (286 03) at least on your area.

Aquatic ecosystem is very sensitive to heavy metals and the matter has received considerable concern due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation. The health implication due to Mercury exposure through food chain is a serious matter of concern for human health. In the present study bioaccumulation of Mercury from Catla catla species collected from four different collection sites of Shivnath River of Chhattisgarh, India was analyzed in various tissue samples viz., muscle, gill and liver by atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. In all tissue samples Mercury was reported significantly higher (F=<0.05 %P) than the recommended permissible limit of European commission. It was reported that muscles having maximum tendency of bioaccumulation followed by gills and liver and maximum bioaccumulation was reported in the month of October-March. The study is significant with respect to the food chain of population from catchment area.

There’s a brand new shop that just opened in Barrington this weekend that stocks its shelves with sugar and sweets. Take one step inside and, trust me, you’ll feel just like a kid in a candy shop.
Five year old Aiden Krumpett from Lake Barrington walked into the brand new Sweet Spot candy shop today and his eyes lit up like bottle rockets. A real life Charlie Bucket, he darted from shelf to shelf on the hunt for Wonka Bars.
If you’re having a bad day, this place will change your mood in a Moon Pie minute. Just come on in, pick up one of their shiny red goody buckets and off you go to candyland. Swinkles, Fireballs, Zots, Jolly Ranchers, Pixy Stix, Runts, Candy Pipes, Candy Lips, Candy Mustaches, Candy Necklaces, Barber Pole Suckers and all things gummy are just a few of hundreds of candy choices on their menu. They have old fashioned Black Jack, Clove and Beemans gum and good old Fruit Stripe, too. Plus, they serve coffee, drinks, ice cream and even have cupcake lollypops! Whether you’re stuffing a stocking, an Easter basket or goody bag, this place is your one-stop-shop for all things sugary.
And the owners sure are some smart cookies. Their shop is right by Barrington High School, so they’re planning on lots of teen traffic.

innogy SE today announced that Galloper Offshore Wind Farm has generated power for the first time on 5th November. The project achieved financial close in November 2015 and over the last two years, led by innogy, the project has been constructed from the onshore grid connection in Suffolk to the Galloper site 30km off the coast in the Thames Estuary.
First generation is a hugely significant milestone that signals the beginning of the process to bring all 56 wind turbines online which is expected to complete in early 2018.
The project is owned by innogy SE, Macquarie Capital, Siemens Financial Services and a consortium managed by Green Investment Group and Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets.
innogy commenced construction of the Galloper project following Financial Close and since then progress has been rapid. 2016 saw the start of offshore activity with foundation installation commencing and the first export cable being installed. This year the offshore substation, which was manufactured by Heerema at its fabrication base in Hartlepool on behalf of Alstom Petrofac Consortium, was completed in early May, along with the first turbine installation, and second export cable installation. To date, as well as reaching first generation, all 56 array cables have been placed and buried and 38 of fifty-six turbines are now in situ.
innogy is one of the leading renewable developers in the world, with a significant installed renewables capacity of 3.7GW. Currently innogy has more than 0.9GW of installed capacity in offshore wind, with six offshore wind farms in operation, two currently in construction including Galloper, and a number in development.
Galloper Offshore Wind Farm is a wind farm in construction about 30km off the coast of Suffolk. The wind farm represents an expected investment potential of around £1.5 billion. It is estimated that the average annual generation expected at the site will be equivalent to the approximate domestic needs of around 380,700 average UK households (FN1).
The Power Boost feature increases the power output of each turbine by 5%, from 6.0MW to 6.3MW, and is enabled by increasing the rotational speed of the turbine during certain conditions, most notably when the wind speed is at its strongest. This improvement to the turbine power curve increases the power output of the wind farm from 336 MW to 353MW.
 Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal is derived using wind speeds monitored in the local area and correlating to long term weather data. The calculations are based on an installed capacity of 353MW. The energy capture predicted and hence derived homes equivalent or emissions savings figures may change as further data are gathered. Equivalent homes supplied is based on an annual electricity consumption per home of 4100 kWh. This figure is supported by recent domestic electricity consumption data available from The Digest of UK Energy Statistics and household figures from the UK Statistics Authority.

After about 5 months of testing, I think the new-formats version of NeoLemmix is ready to be released as a stable player.
If you not yet have a new-formats player, then please download the attached installer (version 1.1), make sure you have internet connection and run the installer. It will download the main game (in the version available on the NeoLemmix homepage), editor and styles together with a few example level packs.
This contains NeoLemmix V12.4, the Editor V1.11, the Pack Toolit V1.6 and the GraphicsTool V1.3. It no longer contains the conversion tools for old styles and level packs. If you need them, they are still available on the NeoLemmix homepage.
1) No automatic download of missing graphic styles, but you have an installer instead, that automatically download them.
2) No shimmier and no jumper skill yet.
3) No exits with resticted number of lemmings allowed to enter.
4) No terrain piece grouping for level creators.
EDIT 2018-10-21: The links in this first post now point to the latest version again.
IchoTolot found a critical teleporter bug. This should be fixed in the attached version 12.0.1. I will update the first post in a moment.
Here is another update to NeoLemmix, now version 12.1.0.
If you just want to upgrade from version 12.0.0 or 12.0.1, then download the attachement.
- Lots of new styles by Flopsy, GigaLem, Proxima, SQron and others.
- Hatches and preplaced lemmings display helper icons during the first two seconds of the game.
- Custom panel sprites are now properly loaded.
- Fixed bug: Trigger point of flipped receivers was off by 1 pixel.
Thanks Nepster! Also big thanks to Wafflem for his work on converting my styles.
However, there is a caveat -- I need to do some modifications to the Minesweeper style before I consider it ready for inclusion in NeoLemmix. So please don't use this style until further notice, as levels created with the current version may break.
EDIT: Nepster has removed this style from the download. Thank you I'll set aside time to fix this style so it can be released as soon as possible.
Ray_spooky in the styles download has pretty much the whole tileset missing apart from 2 objects.
I had to redeem this tileset from the Lemmings Halloween 2017 pack download for the MegSEGAbytes level using this tileset.
That would lead to new users getting these with their first download, even when that download is a lot bigger then.
It happened very often until now that I heard someone getting errors that was caused by simply missing the styles download. Of course the user thinks he/she only needs player and editor!
So: all-in-one download first for the everyday user, after that the pieces for the ones that know exactly what they need.
This also goes for the website of course.
If that is any easier at all, your deploy needs better automation.
<Nepster> 2) People can download the styles pack and only extract some of the styles, which speeds up the installation.
The first answer to this is that 2) is not a counter-argument to the all-in-one download; it's unrelated. The all-in-one would be the union of everything that people are now instructed to download separately. Both the all-in-one archive and the separate style archive would allow to extract only some styles.
The second answer is that error prevention comes first, performance second. You silently lose newbies with easy fatal errors. Make the all-in-one. A big point of loose files is that you can compose an archive that plays some levels and can edit some levels. It needn't be all styles.
The third answer is that your concern dovetails into dependency management design (that issue almost arose in the topic about the bloated music directory). This is very interesting and I'm looking forward to how you solve it long-term.
Unfortunately I haven't used NeoLemmix in a little while because the more recent update made it WAY more complicated than it used to be.
If NL is any more complicated than 1. download engine, 2. download pack, something has gone horribly wrong. This is as high as anybody is willing to jump to enter the culture. As long as the tiles don't come automatically, you must ship them with the main download.
And the NL homepage (page! not site!) needs one big friendly large green button that you can click and get everything.
I mean, I suppose I could figure it out eventually if I knew exactly which questions to ask and how to phrase them. I just figured perhaps I was just an idiot when it came to these things (which would most likely be my own fault).
Yeah, I totally know that the current situation is far from ideal. But unfortunately I am already struggling with keeping up on the bug fixes and therefore don't have time to implement such really important features like auto-downloading styles.
At the moment I am cobbling together a small installer that will download the two zip files from the NeoLemmix homepage and extracts them on your computer. That will hopefully be far faster than implementing the auto-downloading feature in the NeoLemmix player.
My NeoLemmix Player displays V12.01.00 instead of V12.1.0, even after downloading the latest version.
This is fine, there isn't really a difference between those version numbers.
.1 and .01 are the same because we would usually denote the difference between .1 and .10 if that were the case.
After almost two months it is time for another NeoLemmix update.
Delete the style "arty_underwater" (to replace with the up-to-date version), download the attached upgrade zip file and extract it over your existing NeoLemmix folder.
This installer simplifies setting up the game: It downloads the game, editor, ... together with all the styles from the NeoLemmix homepage and extracts them into the proper folders. It also downloads some packs: DoveLems, PimoLems, Lemmings Reunion, Deceit's Lemmings and NepsterLems.
Interestingly using the installer is a lot faster than manually extracting everything. On my computer is finishes after three minutes of heavy work.
If someone wants to have their pack added to the auto-download in the installer, please contact me. The only requirement is to have a fixed url where to download the pack from: Either on some homepage (like the NeoLemmix homepage) or on dropbox. Just having a forum attachment is much discouraged, because updating the attachment will almost certainly change the url and thus break the installation.
- Fixed bug: Rotated one-way-walls now use the correct game physics.
- Fixed bug: Disallow overlapping preplaced blockers.
- Improved copy&paste using now the clipboard. This allows copying stuff from one level to another one, even in a second editor.
- Piece selection can be moved with the mouse wheel, if the cursor is on the lower part of the editor.
- Added piece sizes to the tooltip at the piece selection.
- Fixed bug: Postview texts are now saved correctly.
- Fixed bug: Rotated gadget sizes are now loaded correctly.
- Added buttons to move levels up/down a rank.
- Custom sprite images change when scrolling up and down the combo-box.
- Saving custom panels is now possible.
- Fixed major bug: Saving twice now does not eat your files any more.
- Fixed bug: Removed talisman ID collisions.
If someone wants to have their pack added to the auto-download in the installer, please contact me.
NeoLemmix Introduction Pack and Lemmings Redux should be included IMO. Probably also at least one pack that makes use of NeoLemmix features; Lemmings Plus Omega may be a good candidate, as it uses most (not quite all) of the features but isn't overly hard for the most part.
Lemmings Redux: I asked Proxima yesterday, and he said that it still needs work - at least it needs to be converted to new-formats.
LemPlus packs: I wasn't sure whether any of exists as a stable new-formats version yet. If they do, please tell me (possibly specifying which ones) and I will include them in the auto-download.

So . . . Apple released a new iPhone.
The most interesting aspect of the Apple story is the measures it takes to protect its intellectual property. In an effort to protect the new iPhone, Apple may have run up against the Fourth Amendment.
CNET reported that Apple security personnel enlisted the help of the San Francisco police in locating a lost iPhone prototype. The iPhone was allegedly lost by an Apple employee at a bar in late July. The iPhone was tracked to a home. Apple security personnel and the police officers then went to the home. With the police standing by, the Apple security personnel searched the home, as well as a car and computer.
The homeowner told reporters that the people who came to his house looking for the phone identified themselves as police (not Apple employees). He claimed that he never would have allowed Apple employees to conduct a searched.
Of course, a lawsuit has now been threatened. Does it have a chance? Assuming that the consent for a search was invalid because of deception (a big assumption, perhaps), then the Fourth Amendment could have been violated. The general rule is that the Fourth Amendment” is wholly inapplicable to a search or seizure, even an unreasonable one, effected by a private individual not acting as an agent of the Government or with the participation or knowledge of any governmental official. United States v. Jacobsen, 466 U.S. 109, 113 (1984). However, the Court has also held that a person may be deemed a “state actor” when he has acted together with or has obtained significant aid from state officials. Lugar v. Edmondson Oil Co., 457 U.S. 922, 937 (1982).
In this case, there is certainly a good argument that the Apple employee were acting as state agents in conducting the search. This would make them liable under the civil rights laws for any violations of the Fourth Amendment rights of the homeowner.
Finally: to add intrigue and a whiff of conspiracy to the story: the video surveillance tape of the bar has been erased.

Royal Astronomical Society of Canada 2018 1oz Silver Coin: 150 year anniversary. Founded in 1868, The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) has nurtured the passion of astronomers while fostering the curiosity of anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered what lies beyond. We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the RASC with an awe-inspiring (and scientifically accurate) reverse design that adds a photo-realistic twist to the Society’s sesquicentennial logo! To top it all off, the design includes an authentic meteorite fragment, which is a fitting tribute to the contributions of RASC members.
Front and centre on your coin, the extra-terrestrial piece of our solar system was sourced from the Campo del Cielo meteorite field in Argentina, where a large fragment was first documented in 1576. A polycrystalline coarse octahedrite, the IA iron meteorite was recovered from one of 26 impact craters formed roughly 4,500 years ago, when a shower of metallic meteorites dispersed fragments across an area of roughly 320 square kilometres. The typical composition of a Campo del Cielo meteorite is 92.7% iron, 6.15% nickel, 0.42% cobalt, 0.37% carbon and 0.28% phosphorus.
Proof Quality 99.99% Pure Silver.
Blazing as it burns through Earth’s upper atmosphere, the depiction of a meteor is topped by a genuine iron meteorite fragment sourced from the Campo del Cielo meteorite fields, where the impact craters date back an estimated 4,500 years. Both the meteorite and the view of the Manicouagan crater in Quebec are a nod to the RASC’s longstanding interest in the study of planet geology, meteor dynamics and impact cratering, and to the excellence of Canadian research in these fields. Always fascinating, the space-weather phenomenon of the aurora borealis adds a “True North” flourish that a design that encapsulates 150 years of exploring the cosmos. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA”, the double commemorative dates “1868–2018”, and the face value “20 DOLLARS”.
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded standard case with a graphic beauty box.

The path up the hill is always more difficult than the path that lies across the plain, but it leads to the top.
Any moving forward is associated with the initial difficulties. Do not be afraid of apprehension - they are the result of uncertainty. You are already on the way - traffic is inevitable, as destiny, clarity is coming soon. Obey the laws. Fight the evils in themselves. Bring up the will to help in big business. Refer business to the benefit of others, be generous, 'What you gave is yours'. You will get help when you are in need.
Making progress with lowered horns-i.e., acting on the offensive-is permissible, in times like those referred to here, only in dealing with the mistakes of one's own people. Even then we must bear in mind that proceeding on the offensive may always be dangerous. In this way we avoid the mistakes that otherwise threaten, and succeed in what we set out to do. On the other hand, perseverance in such over energetic behavior, especially toward persons with whom there is no close connection, will lead to humiliation.
Success already close. You not vainly counted on a recognition and respect, they by the right expect you. In the further you will be rewarded even more, than now. Safely and resolutely walk forward, rely on the happy star. Your desire will be executed not at once, but let it does not grieve you. You are waited with a meeting with the person which you very much for a long time did not see. Do not squander money, be little bit more economical; it very much will assist you with the future.

There's no denying that cruising attracts a particular type of traveller, but one seafaring company is out to attract one of the world's most-elusive markets: millennial travellers.
Luxury cruise company Uniworld has launched a spinoff brand called U by Uniworld, designed to cater exclusively to travellers aged between 21 and 45 years.
The company's preliminary offering is limited to European river cruises – trips typically dominated by an older demographic – traversing waterways through Germany, the Netherlands, France, Hungary, and Austria, with revamped itineraries and on-board menus designed to appeal to younger tastes.
Boats will boast all the appeal of some of the world's most popular holiday destinations, like Instagram-worthy backdrops, mixologists turning out unique and custom cocktails, far-reaching Wi-Fi, and DJs spinning for "silent" discos.
But arguably the most exciting update is the brand's approach to time spent off the ship: boats will call at ports for longer than a day or two, giving passengers the opportunity to thoroughly explore the cities through which they pass. And, rather than offering a limited range of pre-selected on-shore activities, they'll be able to spend their time largely as they please.
"Everything is going to be pushed to you on your phone," Uniworld president and CEO Ellen Bettridge told Skift.
"We'll have big TVs up around with your social media posts going on, people talking to each other. But it's really more about your experience and your time."
Week-long cruises depart in 2018 and start from $2499 per person. For more information or to book, visit the website.
