Flexible circuits, environmental and healthcare monitoring, and energy conversion are only a few of the many applications that could be realized by wearable, textiles-based electronics. Researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) at the University of Cambridge have recently developed a new method that can be used to produce conductive cotton fabrics using graphene-based inks. The method eliminates expensive and toxic processing steps previously required, and opens up new possibilities for flexible and wearable electronics.
The CGC team worked in collaboration with scientists at Jiangnan University, China. In an article published in the journal Carbon, the team demonstrates a wearable motion sensor based on the conductive cotton that was created by depositing graphene-based inks onto cotton to produce a conductive textile.
Cotton fabric is comfortable to wear and breathable, as well as being durable to washing. It is therefore no wonder it is among the most widely used in clothing and textiles. These properties also make it an outstanding choice for textile electronics. Dr Felice Torrisi at the CGC and his collaborators have developed a new process that is a sustainable, low-cost and environmentally friendly method for producing conductive cotton textiles by saturating them with a graphene based conductive ink.
The new method is based on Dr Torrisi’s work on the formulation of printable graphene inks for flexible electronics. The team created inks of chemically modified graphene flakes that adhere to cotton fibers better than graphene that has not been modified. The conductivity of the modified graphene is improved by heat treatment after depositing the ink on the fabric. The adhesion of the modified graphene to the cotton fiber can be compared to to the way cotton holds colored dyes. The fabric also remains conductive after several washes.
Numerous wearable sensors have been developed by researchers around the world. Most of the current wearable technologies however rely on stiff electronic components mounted on supple materials such as textiles or plastic films. In many cases, these are damaged when washed, offer limited compatibility with the skin and, as they are not breathable, are uncomfortable to wear.
Torrisi explained that other conductive inks are not sustainable and very expensive to produce as they are made from precious metals such as silver. On the other hand, graphene is chemically compatible with cotton while at the same time environmentally friendly and cheap.
Professor Chaoxia Wang of Jiangnan University, co-author of the paper, adds that this is an unbelievable enabling technology for smart textiles, as the method will allow electronic systems to be put directly into clothes.
The work done by Prof Wang and Dr Torrisi, together with students Jiesheng Ren and Tian Carey will enable a number of commercial opportunities for graphene-based inks. Possible applications range from high performance sportswear, personal health technology, wearable technology and computing, military garments and fashion.
Dr Torrisi also noted that thank to nanotechnology, clothes could incorporate these textile-based electronics and become interactive in the future. Transforming cotton fibers into functional electronic components will likely open the way to an entirely new set of applications from the Internet of Things, to healthcare and wellbeing.
As graphene is carbon in the form of single-atom-thick membranes, it is highly conductive. The team’s work is based on spreading of tiny graphene sheets in a water-based dispersion. Each sheet is less than one nanometer thick. The graphene sheets in suspension are chemically altered to adhere to the cotton fibers during deposition on the fabric and printing. This leads to a uniform, thin conducting network of many graphene sheets. The secret to the high sensitivity to strain induced by motion is this network of nanometer flakes. A simple graphene coated smart cotton textile deployed as a wearable strain sensor can detect up to 500 motion cycles reliably, even after it has been washed more than 10 times in a normal washing machine.
GRMs and graphene are changing the technology and science landscapes due to their attractive physical properties for sensing, electronics, catalysis, photonics and energy storage. Graphene’s atomic thickness and exceptional mechanical and electrical properties give huge advantages. It allows the depositing of extremely thin, flexible and conductive films on surfaces and on textiles. When these characteristics are combined with the fact that graphene is environmentally compatible and has a strong adhesion to cotton, it make the graphene cotton strain sensor ideal for wearable applications.

You mention saving the contents of a PagedDataListSource<T> to disk on application suspesion. Whilst the Okra framework allows you to hook into application suspension events (via the ILifetimeManager and ILifetimeAware interfaces) you should remember
that you only have a limited period of time to save data upon suspension before your application is forcibly terminated. Hence the guidelines recomend that data is saved in the background whilst the app is running if possible rather than waiting for the suspension
My thoughts on this would be to save each page of data as it is retrieved - either in a seperate file for each page, or a single combined file that is updated each time. In your FetchPageAsync(...) method you could continue to use Json.Net (or any other
serialization technique) to save the resulting DataListPageResult<T> object to disk, then on subsequent calls you could retrieve the stored value if available, otherwise continue as normal.
In pseudo-code this would be,
protected override async Task<DataListPageResult<MyItem>> FetchPageAsync(int pageNumber)
DataListPageResult<MyItem> cachedPage = await GetPageFromDisk(pageNumber);
if (cachedPage != null)
DataListPageResult<MyItem> page = await GetPageFromDataSource(pageNumber);
Note that the SavePageToDisk(...) method should be marked as 'async' so that it would not block the thread until the data was saved.
How does this sound for your use-case? Let me know and I can adapt as required...


Yes, our software works on most common tablets and phones and data entry is very easy on any device. However, because our software presents detailed financial information, you may find that you have a better experience reviewing reports by using a tablet or larger device rather than a phone.

One of the challenges of a service company is to track the technician time required to complete an installation or service task. An important requirement of a time tracking device is to be convenient and accurate so the technician can focus on the task at hand. For example, a technician may need to record his labor for the following schedule:
7:00am: Clock into work and identify the first task (or work order)
9:00am: Clock into a paid break time work code for 15 minutes and then resume the previous task. This step is not required if the break time is included in the project labor.
9:45am: Leave the first project and clock into the 2nd task of the day
12:00pm: Clock out for lunch
12:45pm: Resume work by clocking into the previous task (2nd task)
3:00pm: Clock into a paid break time in a similar way as the morning break if the break time should not be included in the project.
4:00pm: Clock out of the 2nd task of the day and clock into a general work code to track the time to restock truck or other non-billable work.
5:00pm: Clock out of work
Note that all the technician's time is being recorded and applied to either worker work orders or general overhead work codes. This gives the manager the confidence that the technician's time is properly recorded.
Complete the following steps to use a MyTime device to record time:
Open the MyTime app within a tablet or other Windows device. Review the EBMS Configuration and Setup section for MyTime user configuration within EBMS if MyTime is not configured for the specific worker.
Log into MyTime using the assigned PIN code. Review the MyTime App Overview section for more login details.
Verify that the Clock into daily hours option within the user settings is enabled. Review the Connections and User Settings section for details on user settings. This option is important so that MyTime will record the starting time of the worker within the daily hours of the timecard. Review the Time and Attendance > Daily Hours section for more details on the clock in and out times on a worker's timecard.
the task or work code for the first event of the day by tapping on

Note that selection options on the home page of MyTime can be configured to meet individual user's preferences. Review the EBMS Configuration and Setup section for instructions on formatting the home page or task lists for individual users.
will open if a task is selected as shown below:
Tap on the clock in button on the bottom right of the task to start the time tracking for the selected task. If this is the first task of the day, the user's login time will also be recorded using the same time. The system will log out of a previous task or work code if this clock in is not the first event of the day. Review the Creating a New Task section for more details on creating tasks.

any notes or information on the task. Note that closing the task by
using the cancel or save buttons
will not clock out of the task. This means to clock out of the current
task is to clock into another task or work code. The current
clock in status is shown at the top of the MyTime home page as shown
Tapping on a work code button as shown above will immediately clock out of the current task or work code and clock into the selected work code. Review the Clocking into a Work Code Instead of a Task section for more information on clocking into a work code.
Tap Clock Out at the bottom of the MyTime home page to clock out for lunch or the end of the day. This step will also record the Clock Out time within the Daily Hours tab of the worker's time card if the Clock into daily hours option within the user settings is enabled.
Review the Managing Tasks and Work Orders section for more details on adding other users' time into a task or adding time for a team.
Continue with the Searching for Tasks section for more options to locate a task or work order.

Starting today, guests will find a much smoother and safer process at the main entrance bag check for EPCOT. Previously only found at the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT, the Artificial Intelligence EVOLV scanners have finally been installed at the main entrance. Security Cast Members asked us not to take a photo of the EPCOT scanners, but here’s an older photo that we were given permission to take of the identical scanners at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
The Evolv Express system will not only cut down on the often times large lines to get through the tedious bag check process, it will also allow for more streamlined staffing.
According to the Evolv Technology website, Evolv Express uses advanced sensors and machine learning to automatically screen for concealed weapons on all employees, contractors and visitors entering your facility without slowing down operations.
Powered by the Evolv Cortex AI™ Software Platform, Express is the only fast, touchless, free-flow firearm and bomb detection system that screens more than 3600 people per hour (60 people per minute) and gets smarter over time. It keeps high volume entrances flowing by reliably detecting guns and other weapons as visitors walk through at a natural pace.
By switching to the Evolv Express system, not only does Disney create a more pleasant experience for the guests, but also a more reliable screening and safer experience. Use of this system versus the old bag check used before the parks closed due to COVID-19 also ensures a safer procedure for security Cast Members who are now able to screen from a distance and not have to physically interact with each and every personal item that comes through the screening.
As always, keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com as we continue to bring you the latest news and photos from around the Disney Parks.

Hello and welcome to this tutorial. This time I will be covering the use and facilities of the updated default FMC used in X-Plane 11. As I am sure you all know, in most cases in X-Plane 10, the FMC in a large aircraft was a fairly basic 'point and shoot' affair, with the exception of good payware models. This is not so in X-Plane 11. Here we are given a more useful and feature-packed FMC as standard, and it is from this we will take our example for this tutorial, using the default X-Plane 11 Boeing 737-800.
Being from the UK, naturally I chose a route in an area I was familiar with. Starting from my local airport, Manchester International (EGCC), I was going to fly the short distance to Bristol Airport (EGGD). Using an online route finder, the data for my flight was mapped out, as shown below.
Cruise altitude between 5000 and 5000
EGCC (0.0nm) -SID-> MONTY (42.6nm) -N42-> RETSI (67.9nm) -STAR-> EGGD (136.0nm)
Note: Tracks are magnetic, distances are in nautical miles.
EGCC SID MONTY N42 RETSI STAR EGGD
This is a fairly basic route and ideal for the purposes of this tutorial.
To begin with, we will use Runway 23L as the departure runway, as our route takes us in a south-westerly direction. So here we are on Runway 23L at Manchester, ready to roll with the pop out FMC (Figure 1) on view.
If we take a closer look (Figure 2) we can see the default FMC index page outlined in red, and that it is page 1 of 1. The message at the bottom also tells us that the navaid database is not current but this can be easily rectified with an update from the Navigraph web site (for a small fee). However, it is still functional, so for the purpose of this tutorial it can remain as it is.
Keeping with the same image of the FMC (Figure 3), in order to simplify which of the twelve soft keys to press (six on the left and six on the right), refer to the following:
Firstly, by pressing key L1 over on the top left-hand corner, we are taken to the STATUS page (Figure 4) which gives details of the current state of the navaid database. This is not important to the route but is still shown nevertheless, for completeness.
Now for the first element of entering our data for the current route.
If you press the key R6 it will bring up the DATABASE page (Figure 5).
We enter our data, using the alpha numeric keys, into the area known as the scratchpad between the cyan square brackets. To clear the scratchpad of any previous data, press the CLR key on the bottom right-hand corner. Having entered our Departure ICAO (in this case it will be EGCC) into the scratchpad, we then transfer that into the IDENT position by pressing L1. What were originally four dashes, now change to our Departure ICAO and our starting airport data is displayed (top right).
Now it's time to enter our waypoints into the FMC which is done by clicking the FPLN key, outlined in red (Figure 6). We are presented with the ACT FLPN screen into which we can enter the origin airport, destination airport and navaids required, as our flight plan shows. As before, clear the scratchpad of any data and type in the departure airport (EGCC). L1 transfers it to the ORIGIN boxes. Notice that when a successful transfer occurs, the scratchpad becomes empty again. Now for the destination. Type our destination airport (EGGD) into the scratchpad and transfer it to DEST using R1.
CO ROUTE is optional and is the company route for fuel usage. It is not covered in this tutorial so we will leave it blank.
The FLT NO displayed below the destination data on the screen (Figure 7) is our flight number which can be anything you like, so we'll use XP737 and transfer it to R3. Our first waypoint is MONTY at 43 miles, 229 degrees, so input it into the scratchpad and transfer to R5. Doing this will show a direct route to the waypoint. We could also enter a designated airway name into L5, in which case the route would be via that airway to the waypoint, but we'll leave it blank this time in order to get a more direct route.
In Figure 7 you will notice that a cyan bar lights up above the EXEC button after we enter our data. This is asking for confirmation that our details are correct. Hit the EXEC button to confirm this and the light will go off again. Failure to do this whenever the EXEC button is lit will result in the aircraft not following the flight plan. Our first waypoint is entered, and to continue with more, we now need to view our ACT LEGS page (Figure 8), by clicking the LEGS button situated below the FPLN key.
We need to enter the next waypoint, RETSI, into L4 in the ACT LEGS page. Remember to hit that EXEC button too! Don't enter the destination airport as we have already specified that in the ACT FLPN page.
That's it for the waypoints.
Now for some important data about the flight. Press the CRZ button located next to FPLN to bring up the VNAV CRUISE page (Figure 10). A simple entry of our cruise speed of 250 knots and a cruise altitude of 5000ft, are in turn entered into the scratchpad, and again transferred to L1 and R1 respectively. If we now return to the LEGS page (Figure 11), we can see our speed and altitude references displayed in green on the right.
These references are used manually if flying LNAV or automatically if flying VNAV.
Departure / Arrival Data
The final task on the way to a fully programmed FMC is to input the details for the departure/arrival runways and any SIDS or STARS required in the route.
If you hit the DEP ARR key in red (Figure 12) it will then shows the DEP / ARR INDEX page. Here you will see your previously programmed departure and arrival airports in the center.
By pressing the key L1 it will bring up the options to input the departure runway (Figure 13). We have selected R3 for runway 23L. No SID is specified.
Once again, press the EXEC key to enter. L6 returns us to the DEP/ARR INDEX page where we can now select R2 for the arrival runway and STAR. No star is specified in our route plan so just the runway is required. We will choose R2 for runway ILS27 (Figure 14).
You may see the word 'Discontinuity' on the screen of the FMC. The explanation in a nutshell for this, is shown below (Figure 15).
The above image shows the flight plan of an aircraft with 4 waypoints programmed into the FMC. Marked in magenta is the route it will take from the first to the fourth waypoint. According to the arrival runway data we supplied, the FMC works the approach out shown in blue. Because the last waypoint, number 4 we entered, is not the same point as the first approach point, the FMC tells us there is discontinuity or dead space between waypoint 4 and approach point 1, which is not accounted for in the flight plan.
So, looking at pages 1 and 2 (Figure 16 and Figure 17) of the ACT LEGS, we have a discontinuity between our last waypoint of RETSI and our first approach waypoint of CI27. Fortunately, this is easy to correct. Just click button L1 on page 2 (CI27) which puts CI27 into the scratchpad. Now click on button L5 on page 1 (Discontinuity). This effectively removes the discontinuity and stitches the two parts of the flight plan together (Figure 18).
The easiest way to tell if your FMC has been successfully programmed, is to look at your screen, and if you are following a magenta line, then it is indeed correctly programmed (Figure 19). So following the standard autopilot procedure, we can get the aircraft to fly the complete route, and if we use VNAV, you can also observe the stated altitudes.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and by the end of it, feel clearer about getting the best out of the default FMC in X-Plane 11.

How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS Heroku recently added an exciting new ‘Hostname SSL’ option. This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).
The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku’s new ‘Hostname SSL’ option on your Heroku project. Before we begin, let’s list what we’re using here:
* Heroku Hostname SSL
* GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
* Zerigo DNS
Note: I am not using the Heroku Zerigo DNS add-on, instead I have a separate Zerigo account for my DNS needs. I do this because Zerigo offers 30 hosts on free direct accounts, versus only 10 hosts on the free Heroku add-on.
I. Getting a GoDaddy SSL Certificate (Part I)
1. Purchase a GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate GoDaddy sells Standard SSL Certificates for anywhere from $12.99/year to $49.99/year. I highly recommend you do a search for ‘cheap ssl’ on Google and see if there are any advertisements for discounted GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificates. I was able to buy my certificate for $12.99/year this way.
2. After you complete your purchase, GoDaddy will give you a credit that you can trade for a certificate. Make the trade and click on ‘Manage Certificate’ next to your new certificate. This will bring you to a Credits control panel where we will click ‘Request Certificate’ next to your new certificate later on when we are ready to setup your certificate.
II. Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Note: To create an SSL certificate, you must first generate and submit a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the Certification Authority (CA) (i.e. GoDaddy). The CSR contains your certificate-application information, including your public key. The CSR will also create your public/private key pair used for encrypting and decrypting secure transactions. These instructions are based on my experience using a Mac OS X laptop. The following probably won’t work if you are not working from a unix-based system (i.e. Mac OS X / Ubuntu Linux / etc.). Steps to create a CSR: 1. Make a new directory to hold your project’s SSL-related stuff. It doesn’t really matter where you put this, but I recommend not putting it in your rails project (i.e. alongside app, config, db, etc.), as it will get included in your git repository if you do. Rather, I put it in a folder that is one level above my rails project. mkdir ssl-cert 2. Move to your newly created folder cd ssl-cert
3. Use OpenSSL to generate an RSA host key (‘host.key’) using the triple DES encryption, with a 2,048-bit key length (as required by GoDaddy). Triple DES is just DES times three, but is more secure against brute force attacks because of its longer length. openssl genrsa -des3 -out host.key 2048 It will ask you for a pass phrase. This should be a secret password. Don’t forget the pass phrase you set, as we will need it later.
4. Use OpenSSL to generate a new self-signed certificate (‘host.csr’) using the host key we just created. This is what you’ll be sending to GoDaddy to model your new SSL after. openssl req -new -key host.key -out host.csr You will be prompted with a bunch of questions. Answer all of them, except the last two ‘extra’ attributes are optional.
Here are example responses:
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
State or Province Name (full name)
Locality Name (eg, city) :San Francisco
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Your Company Name
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) :secure.yourdomain.com
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) :secure.yourdomain.com
Email Address :firstname.lastname@example.org
Please enter the following ‘extra’ attributes to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password :
An optional company name :
It is very important you don’t mistype anything here, as you can’t change this information without buying a new SSL certificate. ‘Organizational Unit Name’ and ‘Common Name’ must be the hostname you are using on Heroku. I highly recommend using the ‘secure.yourdomain.com’ host, as you will need to set a separate CNAME DNS record to route your secure traffic.
III. Getting a GoDaddy’s SSL Certificate (Part II)
1. Return to where we left off with GoDaddy. You should have clicked ‘Request Certificate’ and see a form where you need to answer the following questions: Where is your certificate going to be hosted? Third Party Enter your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) below: [copy contents of ‘host.csr’ here] Select your certificate issuing organization: GoDaddy Is this certificate for Intel vPro? No
2. Verify everything and then click through to finish. You should now be able to view and download your GoDaddy SSL certificate from GoDaddy from the ‘Manage Certificates’ section.
IV. Prepare SSL Certificate for Heroku
1. Download your new SSL certificate from GoDaddy’s website into your ‘ssl-cert’ directory that we created in step I. You will get two files from GoDaddy: ‘secure.yourdomain.com.crt’ and ‘gd_bundle.crt’. ‘secure.yourdomain.com.crt’ is your new SSL certificate. ‘gd_bundle.crt’ contains the SSL issuing certificate chain back to the root SSL certificate. 2. Combine ‘secure.yourdomain.com.crt’ and ‘host.key’: cat secure.yourdomain.com.crt host.key > host.pem
3. Remove pass phrase from the public key certificate (required by Heroku) openssl rsa -in host.pem -out nopassphrase.pem openssl x509 -in host.pem >>nopassphrase.pem You will be asked for the pass phrase you set in step I. I told you to remember it!
4. Open ‘nopassphrase.pem’ in a text editor and delete the ‘private key’ section: —–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—– … —–END RSA PRIVATE KEY—–
5. Combine ‘gd_bundle.crt’ and ‘nopassphrase.pem’: cat nopassphrase.pem gd_bundle.crt > public.pem ‘gd_bundle.crt’ is a chain file that links your certificate to a original trusted host certificate that GoDaddy owns.
6. Remove pass phrase from the private key certificate (required by Heroku) openssl rsa -in host.key -out private.key You will be asked for the pass phrase you set in step I. I told you to remember it! You might be asking yourself: What do all of these file extensions mean? Well, here you go: *.csr — Certificate Signing Request used for submission to signing authorities that issue SSL certificates *.crt — Public key of a certificate (same as a *.pem file, but with different extension). May include a chain of certificates back to the host certificate.
This is what you’ll get from GoDaddy when you download a purchased certificate. *.pem — Public key of a certificate (same as a *.crt file, but with different extension). May include a chain of certificates back to the host certificate. This is what you’ll get from GoDaddy when you download a purchased certificate. *.key — Private key of a certificate
V. Add SSL Certificate to Heroku
1. Go to the root of your Heroku project folder and add the nopassphrase pem and key to Heroku: heroku ssl:add ../ssl-cert/public.pem ../ssl-cert/private.key You may need to adjust the paths to point to your ‘nopassphrase.pem’ and ‘nopassphrase.key’ files.
2. If you haven’t done so already, you must enable the Heroku custom domains add-on and add ‘secure.yourdomain.com’ to Heroku’s list of domains: heroku addons:add custom_domains:basic heroku domains:add secure.yourdomain.com
3. Next, you need to add Heroku’s ‘Hostname SSL’ solution: heroku addons:add ssl:hostname This will add a $20/month (as of the time of this writing) fee to your Heroku bill for SSL.
VI: Setting up your DNS to work with Heroku Hostname SSL
1. You should recieve an email from heroku within a few minutes of adding the ssl:hostname addon. You need to add a CNAME record to your DNS that points to the AWS host in the email you receive. This should be pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions, search for ‘adding a CNAME record’ in Google and you’ll see lots of good guides.
2. Test that ‘host secure.yourdomain.com’ outputs ‘something.amazonaws.com’. If it does, you’re all set. You should now be able to go to ‘https://secure.yourdomain.com’ and not see any errors or security warnings. What is going on behind the scenes When a user visits your site using ‘https://secure.yourdomain.com’, they’re hitting your GoDaddy CNAME record, which points to an ‘something.amazonaws.com’ address which effectively routes the request to Heroku’s grid, and a secure connection gets established from there following the standard SSL handshake process.

iPad, Mi Pad, YourPad, Who’sPad?
Apple has successfully established a globally well-known product name for itself, especially in their i(insert tech product) line that when something relatively close comes along, there will be trouble. In this case, Mi (me or my depending on how you pronounce it) Pad.
Apple has succeeded at preventing Chinese tech company Xiaomi Inc from registering its “Mi Pad” as an EU trademark. Xiaomi’s Mi Pad and Apple’s iPad are both tablet computers and have pretty obvious similarities in sound and in the written term itself. The Mi Pad is an Android tablet with the same screen size and resolution specs as the iPad mini, and even uses the same colorful plastic materials as those used for Apple’s cheaper iPhones.
Xiaomi filed an application for the European Mi Pad trademark in 2014. Apple then placed a complaint to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in 2016 in which the EUIPO agreed that consumers could think that the Mi Pad was a variation on Apple’s iPad trademark. Xiaomi appealed to the General Court of the European Union, however it was just recently dismissed.
In this long-running battle, the European Union’s General Court ruled that Mi Pad should not be registered as a trademark because the two names were close enough to create a likelihood of confusion among consumers. It was concluded that English-speaking consumers were likely to understand the prefix “mi” as meaning “my” and therefore pronounce the “i” of Mi Pad and iPad in the same way.
“The dissimilarity between the signs at issue, resulting from the presence of the additional letter ‘m’ at the beginning of ”Mi Pad“, is not sufficient to offset the high degree of visual and phonetic similarity between the two signs,” the Court said in a statement.
Xiaomi can appeal against the ruling at the EU’s highest court, the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Sapienza NLP @ EACL 2023
Sapienza NLP will be at EACL 2023 with a new paper about Entity Disambiguation
We are excited to announce that our paper titled Entity Disambiguation with Entity Definitions has been accepted at EACL 2023! This work investigates the role of expressive textual representations in Entity Disambiguation tasks.
Entity Disambiguation with Entity Definitions
by L. Procopio, S. Conia, E. Barba, and R. Navigli
Local models have recently attained astounding performances in Entity Disambiguation (ED), with generative and extractive formulations being the most promising research directions. However, previous works limited their studies to using, as the textual representation of each candidate, only its Wikipedia title. Although certainly effective, this strategy presents a few critical issues, especially when titles are not sufficiently informative or distinguishable from one another. In this paper, we address this limitation and investigate to what extent more expressive textual representations can mitigate it. We thoroughly evaluate our approach against standard benchmarks in ED and find extractive formulations to be particularly well-suited to these representations: we report a new state of the art on 2 out of 6 benchmarks we consider and strongly improve the generalization capability over unseen patterns. We release our code, data and model checkpoints at https://github.com/SapienzaNLP/extend .

Downloading MP3's to iPad & iPhone
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow downloading from other sites directly to their devices. As the download is a zipped file, you'll need to download it onto your desktop, then load it into your music library and sync it with your phone or tablet.
Here are the steps to take:
1. On a PC or Mac go to the site and download the album.
2. If the Zip is downloaded on a Mac then click to open. If on a PC, free software such as WinZip may be needed to open the files.
3. Open iTunes at the Music Library view.
4. Drag and drop the unzipped music files (most likely MP3) to iTunes.
5. Connect your iPhone to your computer and sync your music in iTunes.
6. Your music should now be on your phone.

IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP WITH SNOREWATCH
We’ve teamed up with Leading Irish Universities and Research Centres to develop SnoreWatch, a new, revolutionary app. SnoreWatch records, monitors, and analyses snoring, helping you to understand your sleeping patterns, and begin to improve your sleep. Place your phone beside your bed with the microphone facing where you sleep, ensuring that it is charging and not being blocked by anything.
Choose which factors are affecting your sleep.
Take control of your recording.
View Your SleepCount.
View your history and spot trends.
Browse Nasal Medical products.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SnoreWatch is sensitive to device placement, and will record louder and more accurate readings when the device is closer to the user. We recommend placing the device on bedside locker with the microphone facing the user. If this is not possible the phone can be placed on the bed, with care taken not to cover the microphone. If you are using the app to compare snoring between nights, be sure to always position the device in the same direction for consistent readings.
Yes, the phone needs to be plugged in throughout the night.
When SnoreWatch begins recording the screen will stay unlocked. Once you start the recording, place the phone face down, so the screen brightness does not disrupt your sleep. We are working hard for the next version of the app which will allow the user to close their phone while recording.
Yes, the user can always delete overnight recordings which will delete the sound file.
Yes, there is an export function. Located on the top right on each individual recording screen. This function automatically brings you to an email where you can export the data of the recording in .json and .csv format. We are working to provide the physical sound recording in the next version.
No. This is not advised. The app will pick up on the sounds in the room and categorise the level of sound (decibels) to calculate the average snore score. The app does not differentiate between people. Therefore, the average will be off. However, for listening purposes – when you playback the recording you would be able to hear both snorers.


Modern Dental Technology in Buffalo Grove
Because we believe that our patients deserve high quality care at every visit, our office is equipped with the latest in dental technology, including digital radiography. Digital X-rays offer a variety of advantages as compared to traditional film X-rays, including improved patient comfort and safety. Bulky bitewings often trigger the body's natural gag reflex, and the images they produce can be blurred due to even the tiniest of movements during exposure.
Digital X-ray Benefits
With digital X-rays, images are captured quickly and comfortably, and they are immediately visible on a digital monitor where both doctor and patient can see them easily. They can be enlarged, rotated, and color-coded for educational and diagnostic purposes. Rather than being kept in a folder in a file cabinet or up on a shelf, digital X-rays are conveniently and securely stored on our computer's hard drive. This makes retrieving digital information easier, faster, and more efficient.
In addition to their accuracy and superior ease of use, digital X-rays offer the additional benefit of reduced radiation. In fact, digital radiography exposes patients to as much as 80 to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Because digital images don't require darkroom chemicals to develop, they're better for the environment, too. With our advanced digital radiography technology, you can feel confident in the knowledge that you are receiving the highest in quality care, all in a manner that keeps your safety and comfort in mind.
Discover the Dental Difference
At Countryside Dental, we want you to know that your comfort, safety, and satisfaction are our top priorities. We consider each and every one of our patients a member of our close dental family, and we want you to feel the same. Incorporating the use of digital radiography is just one of the ways we achieve this every day. Conveniently located in Buffalo Grove, IL, our practice is privileged to serve the complete oral healthcare needs of families from throughout Long Grove, Vernon Hills, Lincolnshire, Hawthorn Woods, and beyond.


Google I/O 2013 Wrapup
A few pics from my recent trip to Google HQ for my Talks @ Google artist talk and the 2013 I/O Developers conference! I had a great time, got to meet some good people and ran into some friends. Thanks to Tom and Thiru for arranging the talk logistics, to Dan for the introduction and to Hugo and the entire Android team for making the I/O Tester special edition mini collectible a reality!
Below is an edited (secret Google bits removed, sorry!) version of my talk. I cover my early inspirations and the development of my art over the years with various examples, followed by a bit of info about Androids and a short Q&A! Runs about 45 minutes.


We need some basic information to enable us to install our Copier/Printer/Scanner Unit at your premises.
We need to know that you have a wired Ethernet Network installed at your premises and if you have a Network Point available that we can connect our unit to. We need to confirm that we will have ‘Admin Access’ to your Network Router, your Server Computer (if you have one) and each of the Computers that are to be connected to our unit.
If you do not have a Network Point within the vicinity of where the unit is to be located, we will need to extend your network to accommodate the unit.
If you do have a Network Point within the vicinity of the unit, but it is being used by another device (such as a computer or printer), we will need to install a ‘Network Switch’ that allows multiple devices to share one Network Point.
We need ‘Admin Access’ to your Router in order to allocate a Static IP Address to our unit. This ensures that the unit cannot be ‘lost’ when a power cut or reboot changes the IP Address.
If you have a Server Computer, we will need ‘Admin Access’ to the server, again, to allocate a Static IP Address to the unit, and also to install the driver software that allows other computers to print via the server.
We will need ‘Admin Access’ to all the computers that will be connecting to the unit to print. We need to install driver software that allows each user to print to the unit.
If you have a shared Network Disk (NAS Drive) and wish to store scanned documents to it, we will need ‘Admin Access’ to the NAS Drive.
It may be that you do not have Admin Access to some or all of your equipment. It may be that your equipment and network is maintained by your own IT Department or by by a third party IT Contractor. If so we will need to contact your IT Department or Contractor and liaise with them to allocate IP addresses and install software on computers.

Most investors don’t know it, but wholesaling used cars is a red-hot business. One discussion topic that often comes up at used-car industry conferences is this: the increased digitalization of the wholesale vehicle market, be it through third-party platforms or the online offerings of auction players. We believe the future is online, and over the last few years, the internet has changed how dealers interact with auctions. Companies like Winfooz are poised to disrupt the market on a larger scale.
We have seen franchised dealers becoming more comfortable with online. Some studies show that dealerships now access an online auction site on average twice a week, and they are becoming more comfortable buying used vehicles at online auctions. It’s early days for this new burgeoning industry, but Winfooz is set to lead the way when it comes to cyberspace auctions.
At this moment in time, digital auctions continue to grow. However, it remains to be seen how much of the industries overall volume will go online and as a result, how much that will pull sales away from physical auctions. Manheim, one of the largest competitors in the market estimate 40% of their cars sold in the last two years have been sold online. They state that approx 630,000 transactions were completed through “pre-digital channels”, an increase of 15% on the previous year.
While these figures show that online is the way to go, the fact of the matter is this – the industry needs an online specialist. In days gone past traditional industries like taxi services and hotel bookings dabbled in digital selling, that was until the real disruptors entered the market, namely Uber and Airbnb. Sure the old style companies aren’t sitting idly by waiting for the answers, the likes of Manheim and Adesa have dove headfirst into the digital world, but we feel we have done something a bit different. As we are a fully online solution, we have been able to work proactively rather than reactively to create the most customer-focused platform on the market, offering a fully integrated end-to-end service, including door-to-door delivery. If you want to see just how much we differ from traditional auctions, have a look at this short article.
The competition is fierce as more companies and dealers discover the value of online. Digital volume is up by 17% year on year, off-site transactions are up to 72% year to date, while it is estimated 39.5 million used vehicles will be sold, up from 39.3 million. In 2018, 10million was raised in online auction sales, and this figure is only expected to grow this year, in essence, digital auction volume will no doubt dominate the market.
Physical auctions are unlikely to disappear, but their role is shrinking, and over the next couple of years, this downward trend is expected to continue. With this in mind, dealers are more likely to focus on digital auctions to bolster their remarketing revenue streams. It’s unclear if this change will lead to a downsizing of physical auctions, we believe it will as online auction attendance is beginning to outpace that of physical auctions. The convenient, faster and less time-consuming nature of online auctions is only going to improve over time leaving traditional auctions in the past. How many people pick up the phone to call a taxi, book a hotel or even a concert ticket these days? Very few, so why would our industry be any different?
In an analysis released last month by Cox Automotive, the expect to see 16.6 million units to wholesale, up from 16.4 million last year. A steady increase but it gets fascinating when you see the breakdown:
- Commercial direct-to-consumer: 700,000 (same as 2018)
- Direct-to-dealer/dealer-to-dealer: 4.9 million (up from 4.7 million in 2018)
- Offsite/online: 1.4 million (up from 1.2 million in 2018, 1.0 million in 2017 and 900,000 in 2016).
We can see that dealer-to-dealer and online markets are increasing year on year. That online component is critical as the share of virtual auction attendees vs physical attendees has swapped. A big part of this has to do with the new entrants to the market, improvements in online vehicle descriptions and increased utilization of modern technology — for example, our innovative 360˚ imagining feature or our Instant chat service.
Besides, there is a stagnation in other types of used vehicles. Growth has tapered off in off-rental and fleet volumes. Rental car fleets are smaller, and repossessions are declining as the economy improves. This leaves dealers with fewer options available to them in the wholesale market, hence the need for a platform that can provide all of a dealers auction needs.

We aren’t the only company noticing this change, Adesa is now being fuelled with TradeRev, a dealer-to-dealer sales platform and it’s now the company’s fastest growing venture.
Manheim, E-Block and AVC Auctions have all began switching gears to enter the digital space, but greater transparency, improved user experience and third-party inspection service that can give confidence to buyers was required. That’s where we come in.
Customers want things to be more convenient, faster and easier, especially in a world of shrinking margins. On any given day a dealer has the ability to register or login to the Winfooz marketplace, scan our inventory, bid and buy, all from the comfort of their home or office. We’ve said it before and will say it again, the future is online!
At this moment in time the physical auction lives on with thousands of vehicles pushed through auction houses on the daily, but nowadays it’s the mainly the onsite atmosphere keeping these alive.
The fact is online auto auctions are becoming more popular and the trend shows no sign of stopping. Platforms like ourselves are here to disrupt the market, leveraging innovative technology to revolutonize the auto remarketing industry.
10 years from now we will be sitting here saying “We told you so”
Have you tried Winfooz yet? When it comes to ease and simplicity, the Winfooz marketplace is streets ahead of physical auctions. It’s risk-free to join and getting set up is easy. To register, you can:

Here are 10 easy tips to extend the GoPro battery life – because we know there is nothing worse than running out of juice when you’re ready for action. All there is to do is to change a few settings and change slightly how the camera is used.
1. Update the GoPro firmware
More recent firmware updates usually include changes to extend the battery life by optimizing how the camera processes images and video.
Do this at home before setting out and check regularly for newly released updates by following us on Twitter!
2. Turn off camera when not in use
Sounds obvious, but a lot of people do keep the camera on and running even when not in use. The GoPro boots on really fast, it is not like a computer that will take a few minutes to be ready to use, so there is no need to keep it always on. Keeping the camera on constantly will also contribute to fogging, as discussed here.
The next tip will help you keeping it off in case you forget to turn it off manually.
3. Activate the Auto Power Off mode
In conjunction with the previous tip, to make your life easier activate the auto power off mode.
This mode will turn off the camera automatically if it hasn’t been used (no buttons pressed or not recording) for 60, 120 or 300 seconds.
4. Adjust the GoPro LCD Screen Settings
The camera’s LCD drains a lot of the battery. If you have one, lower the brightness to a comfortable level and also activate the auto power off option.
The auto power off option for the LCD is different from the GoPro Auto Power Off (from tip #3). This mode will turn off only the LCD if no buttons were pressed in 60 or 120 seconds (depending on your settings and camera model).
This is particularly good if you’re mounting the camera somewhere, as it will even turn the LCD off during recording, as you already framed the shot and no longer needs to look at the LCD.
5. Use a Lower Resolutions and Frame Rates
Specially on the newer high end GoPro models, such as the HERO4 and HERO3/3+ Black, the ultra high resolution modes (4k and 2.7k) are very demanding of the camera’s processor.
By lowering the recording resolution to 1080p or 720p and the frame rate to 30 fps, the processor has to work less and thus use less battery. Those settings are still very high quality, being 1080p the standard “HD” resolution for most TVs and computer monitors.
6. Disable ProTune
GoPro’s ProTune mode does increase the image quality but does also increase considerably the battery usage. Turning it off and enabling Auto White Balance will considerably extend battery life. It usually consumes 10-15% more battery when on!
If ProTune is a must – for those producing professional quality videos involving footage from different cameras as well – bring extra batteries.
7. Avoid the GoPro Wifi Remote (or App)
In order to establish a connection with the GoPro WiFi remote or with any WiFi enabled device to control the camera, battery resources are used.
By keeping the WiFi turned off, there are about 11% in battery life savings, accordingly to GoPro’s website.
8. Fresh Battery Charge
Users have reported that battery can slowly discharge over time with the camera turned off. It is not a fast process and a complete discharge may take over a week to happen.
However, starting with a battery that is not fully charged is already cutting down on your record time. Make sure you check the battery level before heading out and if needed, give it a fresh charge.
9. Use the One Button Mode
This mode can be enabled through the camera settings and will allow the camera to automatically start recording at the press of a button.
It will cut down the few seconds of idle use between turning it on and pressing the record button.
Make sure to hold the Mode/Power button for 5 seconds in order to shut down the camera once you’re done recording. The One Button mode only works for turning on the camera, not turning it off.
Along with the next tip, this has only a minor impact of battery life overall but will help you squeeze a few more minutes of use.
10. Disable Red Blinking Lights
GoPro has placed small red blinking lights on all sides to tell the user that it is recording – still, everyone takes a few silly looking “Is this on?” clips.
Unless you are mounting the camera on impossible spots, you might not need all blinking lights to tell you it’s recording. The settings menu allows you to pick and choose which should be disabled. Usually, the front and back lights are sufficient.
Along with tip #9, this only contributes very little to the battery life in general as the LED lights consume very little power.
With these simple tips, you should be able to extend the battery life of your camera by a few minutes to even half an hour. If planning to use the camera for a long period of time, pack one (or a few) extra batteries. Better safe than sorry!
