due to incorrect inputs into the valuation algorithm, liability realignment would add liability to the GAP Provider and reduce it for the primary carrier. However, in our experience such cases are rare, and no one should ever complain about paying their fair, contractual obligation.
All we need in order to fairly align total loss liabilities is for the GAP Provider to send us the Market Valuation Report for all submitted claims. We can determine which valuations are significantly flawed so the GAP Provider can pass along the information to their client and recommend they call Auto Claim Specialists. We can take it from there. It is that simple. </s> Born on this day in 2016. </s> Microsoft Surface Laptop Charger

HomeHPCSneak Peek At "Sapphire Rapids" Xeons In "Crossroads" Supercomputer
Los Alamos National Laboratory has had its share of innovative supercomputers over its long history, and remains one of the stalwart believers in CPU-only massively parallel architectures to run its applications. The lab has taken delivery of some early editions of the hardware that will be going into its "Crossroads" system, slated to be operational this year and built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise using processors from Intel and interconnect from HPE.
Like many pre-exascale and exascale system design wins in the United States, the Crossroads machine is based on a system design from the formerly independent Cray, which HPE acquired for $1.3 billion in May 2019, and specifically on its "Shasta" system design that has the "Slingshot" Ethernet interconnect, with its HPC extensions, at its heart. That Cray – now HPE – got the Crossroads deal is not much of a surprise. Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories share capability-class and capacity-class supercomputers, with each lab siting some of the machines. The "Cielo" supercomputer installed at Los Alamos in 2013 was an all-CPU Cray XE6 system based on AMD Opteron 6136 processors and the Cray "Gemini" 3D torus interconnect, and its kicker, the "Trinity" machine installed in 2015 and 2016, was supposed to be built entirely from Intel "Knights Landing" Xeon Phi many-core X86 processors, but ended up being built from over 9,486 two-socket nodes using the 16-core "Haswell" Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors and another 9,934 nodes based on the 68-core Xeon Phi 7250 processors, for a total of 19,240 nodes with 979,072 cores with a peak performance of 41.5 petaflops at double precision.
Because of Intel's 10 nanometer process delays, the Crossroads system is about two years late getting into the field, which is no doubt a source of frustration to the scientists working at Los Alamos and Sandia, but at the same time, the US Department of Energy has to invest in multiple technologies to hedge its bets and mitigate its risks – just as Intel's many product roadmap changes and process and product delays show is necessary.
Los Alamos has said very little about the architecture of the Crossroads machine, and we pointed that out when the $105 million award for the system was given to HPE back in October 2020 after a year of going through a competitive procurement process. But that doesn't stop us from speculating what it might look like – especially with the first four nodes rolling into Los Alamos from HPE's factory and the lab bragging about being one of the early receivers of Intel's "Sapphire Rapids" Xeon SP processors, slated for introduction later this year. What we know is that Crossroads will have about 4X the performance of the Trinity system, and knowing what we do about Sapphire Rapids and what Los Alamos is showing in its pictures, we can work backwards to speculate on its configuration.
Anyway, here is the outside of the Darwin node based on Sapphire Rapids:
The left side of the machine in the picture above appears to be the two-socket compute node, and it is not clear what is taking up the right side of the machine. Perhaps a bank of "Ponte Vecchio" Xe GPU accelerators linked to the two-socket Sapphire rapids node over PCI-Express 5.0 and CXL 1.1 protocols? Just because Crossroads doesn't use GPUs doesn't mean that Darwin doesn't.
Here is the Darwin Sapphire Rapids system board:
Los Alamos configured that the Darwin nodes use 56 core Sapphire Rapids sockets (which have four chiplets, as we have reported a bunch of times) and that have eight DDR5 memory slots per socket, half their full complement (as happens with some server designs). We presume those controllers off to the right are a pair of "Cassini" Slingshot 11 network interface cards, which we discussed recently here.
Now let's have a look at the Crossroads system node – Cray EX Shasta node based only on Sapphire Rapids CPUs – with the cover off:
With the Shasta nodes in then the "El Capitan"there is one CPU socket for every four GPU sockets, and two nodes per server sled, but the ratio is actually not any different logically, as we pointed out here. The custom "Trento" Epyc 7003 and stock "Genoa" Epyc 7004 processors used in these two machines have eight CPU chiplets per socket, and the AMD "Aldebaran" Instinct MI250X accelerators have two logical GPUs in a package and four packages for a total of eight logical GPUs. The compute device density is twice as high on the Shasta node as on the prior "Cascades" Cray XC nodes, but the ratio of CPUs to GPUs, at a logical level, is still one to one.
The Crossroads machine will come in two phases, just like Trinity did, and possibly for similar reasons. Trinity ended up being a mix of Xeon CPU and Xeon Phi CPUs because Intel could not get Knights Landing out the door the way Los Alamos wanted it when it wanted it. The initial Crossroads nodes will use DDR5 memory and the follow-on Crossroad nodes will use HBM2 memory – 64 GB per socket, to be precise. We strongly suspect that Los Alamos will only put 256 GB of DDR5 memory on the boards for cost reasons – 32 GB memory sticks will be a lot cheaper per unit of capacity than 64 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB memory sticks – and because all of the eight slots are full, the nodes will get the full DDR5 memory bandwidth available, and with one memory stick per memory controller there will not be any interleaving, either, reducing memory latency. If the DDR5 memory runs at 4.8 GHz as we suspect, then it looks like Intel will be kissing 260 GB/sec of memory bandwidth per Sapphire Rapids socket, based on where we think "Ice Lake" Xeon SPs, "Cascade Lake" Xeon SPs, and "Skylake" Xeon SPs were.
There are four Slingshot 11 interface cards atop four of the processors shown in the picture above, and we presume they have a pair of 200 Gb/sec ports, one for a pair of CPUs, such that there are eight ports coming out of each node for eight processors running at the full 200 Gb/sec speed. (On the Frontier and El Capitan machines, each GPU has its own Slingshot 11 port running at 200 Gb/sec, and the CPU is out of the loop as a serial accelerator and fat, slow memory accelerator for the GPUs. Intel has said that the HBM2e variant of the Sapphire Rapids Xeon SPs will have 64 GB of capacity (four stacks of four chips at 4 GB per chip), and it could have gone twice as dense with eight stacks but didn't. We have seen the bandwidth estimates for this HBM variant of Sapphire rapids all over the map, from 1 TB/sec to 1.8 TB/sec, and it is possible that Intel charges more for variants that run HBM memory at higher speed and therefore provide more bandwidth. Intel always charges a premium for a premium feature, why not now?
The point is this: If supercomputer buyers like Los Alamos have to sacrifice memory capacity by a factor of four (and possibly eight), then they better get a factor of 4X more in memory bandwidth by switching out to HBM memory. At 1 TB/sec, if our numbers are correct, they will get that, and anything above and beyond 1 TB/sec is gravy.
For point of reference, the Trinity Haswell nodes had 64 GB of DDR4 memory and offered about 55 GB/sec of bandwidth per socket, so 128 GB per node and 110 GB/sec, so if the Sapphire Rapids Xeon SP DDR5 nodes in Crossroads are configured as we expect, they will have 2X the main memory (4X seems a stretch for a machine that only costs $105 million) and something more like 5X the bandwidth per socket. The Trinity Knights Landing nodes had what looks like was 16 GB of MCDRAM (a variant of HBM memory cooked up by Intel and Micron Technology that didn't go anywhere) and what looks like 80 GB of DDR4 memory per socket. That MCDRAM had around 420 GB/sec of bandwidth and that DDR4 memory had around 105 GB/sec of bandwidth. It would be nice for Los Alamos, therefore, if Intel could hit the 1.64 TB/sec of bandwidth with the HBM2e version of the Sapphire Rapids chip, since that would be 4X the bandwidth and 4X the capacity of the Xeon Phi's MCDRAM memory.
At 4X the performance of Trinity, Crossroads is at 166 petaflops or so. Assuming that Crossroads is sticking with 56 core Sapphire Rapids and going with top bin parts, then we figured last month in a story called In The Absence Of A Xeon Roadmap, Intel Makes Us Draw One that the top bin 56 core Sapphire Rapids CPU will run at 2.3 GHz and have the same AVX-512/FMA2 vector engines that Skylake, Cascade Lake, and Ice Lake all have, which can 32 double precision flops per cycle per core. Do the math, and each Sapphire Rapids socket can do 4.12 teraflops. With eight CPUs per node, as we see in the picture above, that is still an amazing 5,034 nodes for Crossroads to reach 166 petaflops, but that is not strange considering that Trinity had 19,420 nodes. Packing 4X the compute into just over one-quarter the space is a very good trick – but one that is made possible in part by the Crossroads machine being in the field two years later than Los Alamos had planned. But the other part – and most of the part – is just some good engineering on the part of Intel and HPE/Cray.
In terms of price/performance, Crossroads is a very good deal, and we think this is so at least in part because of Intel's delays with processors and mothballing the Omni-Path interconnect and getting aligned to Cray Shasta servers and Slingshot interconnect.
The progression in performance and price/performance are impressive. The "Roadrunner" hybrid supercomputer built by IBM for Los Alamos installed in 2008 and decommissioned in 2013, weighed in at 1.7 petaflops peak and cost $121 million, or about $71,200 per teraflops. The Cielo system in 2010, which went back to an all-CPU design (driven by codes used by Sandia and Los Alamos to take care of the nuclear weapons, we think) cost $54 million and delivered a little more than 1 petaflops peak performance for $52,530 per teraflops. Trinity, which started rolling out in 2015 and was finished in 2016, cost $186 million and at an aggregate of 41.5 petaflops peak, comes in at $4,482 per teraflops. And Crossroads, at $105 million and 166 petaflops peak will go down to $632 per teraflops.
That's a little more than 100X improvement in performance and a little more than 100X improvement in price/performance over those intervening years between Roadrunner and Crossroads.
We can't wait to see what the real configuration of Crossroads looks like.

In short, when writing a letter, it is not sufficient to write the address in the correct place, the date, the appropriate greetings and a signature. Over the years, I have read so many letters to the head of an imaginary school with an unlikely address where the content was merely an emotionless essay. On those occasions, I have always told my students: "You are in a school with a Head Teacher/Principal. You know him/her and what makes him/her tick. Write to him/her. Think of what he/she would like to hear. Do not write an essay to me pretending to be a letter!

As you see I had some really relaxing moments and a lot of fun this week. AND it was the week before summer holiday.
This time I decided on staying offline for a full week. Can you imagine this? A FULL week without Facebook, Pinterest, Gmail, and my beloved blog. Once in a while I need to come back on the things life provides without being online. Living without thinking when and where to share with my online friends. Living without having my iphone ready to shoot a unique moment. Just be. Breathe. Enjoy. Feel. Taste. Love life with all my senses.
And I hope to meet you back for "weekly love" at the 5th of july with twice as much to share.

Oh yeah, summer is finally here!!!
Oh and then before day turns into night the smell of fresh cut grass or hay so sweet you think you could never inhale enough? There's the sound of cowbells and the insects are dancing in the last shimmer of sunlight. And then, finally the pink-orange-purple-red sky at sunset. Nights stay warm and you feel hot because you are sundrunken. You fall asleep with a big smile and can't wait for the next day...
Although I love all of our seasons summer is the one that always brings me to my deepest longings and feelings. As it almost hurts physically to have to work inside I spend as much time outside as possible in my free time to feel, taste, hear and smell summer in all its gorgeous facettes.

What a lovely morning for weekly love!
I spent as much time outside as possible to enjoy the short swiss-summer during the past week. With "weekly love" in mind I captured loads of lovely and peaceful moments- some with my iphone camera some with my heart only.
It's magic: Being aware of all the love around me every single day seems to double the beautiful moments. So they become more and more.

Toddlerhood is sometimes referred to as terrible twos or terrible threes, and there is a reason! As a child begins to understand his or her surrounding environment and tries to get involved with it, they may want to explore several things around them. In the process they may fail, get disappointed or feel challenging. They may feel restricted by their inability to communicate what they want and what they feel. A child who feels sleepy or hungry may not recognize what he or she is feeling. They may get upset when the parents impose a ‘no’ on something they want to try. A child may want to flip the pancake but the parent may not allow for safety concerns around a gas stove. They may feel terrible if they are unable to accomplish a task that their tiny hands try to do. A child trying to stack blocks may continuously see it falling down.
It may be difficult and sometimes overwhelming for parents to handle toddler behavior. The reasoning ability of a toddler is at its infancy stage and this may make any attempt by the parent to reason out things utterly, terribly futile. It requires patience and maturity for the parents to help soothe their toddlers.
And we are here to help you sail this phase of parenting with ease and understanding with our thoughtful articles on toddler behavior.

Tyre engineers in Japan have for the first time, employed a super computer normally used for climate simulation, together with the SPring-8 Materials Research Centre and its synchrotron radiation facility, to create a new energy-efficient tyre. These powerful simulation tools, offering the ability to analyse at sub nano level, the effects of compound and construction, form part of Falken’s new 4D NANO Design process. 4D NANO Design has enabled Falken to develop the Sincera SN832 ECORUN tyre with a 22  further 27 percent reduction in braking distances has led to the new tyre receiving an A rating for wet weather grip, becoming the first Falken tyre to achieve the highest grade.
By combining the SPring-8 materials research centre and its synchrotron radiation technology and the Japanese government’s Earth Simulator super computer to simulate the real world conditions that a tyre experiences, Falkenit. which ultimately reduces fuel economy. For example, SPring-8’s scientists created a new compound by bonding polymers into ‘functional groups’ with silica. These groups restrict the movement of the elements and the subsequent rise in temperature. The dispersal and reaction of both the bonding and chemical reaction of these groups was simulated at sub nanometre (there are one million nanometres in a millimetre) level to prove the technology. Falken’s resultant calculations suggest the fuel saving benefit could be as much as four percent over its previous SN828 tyre.
Japan’s a theoretical peak performance of 131TFLOPS and is typically used to model large scale climate change or to research the effects of tsunamis and earthquakes. SPproduces light that is about one billion times more brilliant than conventional X-ray sources and is used by scientists for a wide range of research projects.
The Sincera SN832 ECORUN will be available from Spring, initially in 19 dimensions across 13”-15” sizes and a T speed rating, highlighting that advanced technology need not be the sole reserve of ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres. It will be suitable for cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Nissan Juke, VW Touran and Fiat 500.

For many small businesses, this financial year has been a really challenging time.
Earlier in 2020, Australia’s bushland was hit by devastating fires followed closely by the COVID-19 crisis, which saw the world and economy come to an abrupt standstill.
As the world went into lockdown, local businesses were forced to hibernate. Even for those that could continue trading, many had no choice but to reduce staff hours or wages in response to the diminished demand. On top of the economic loss, wIth no vaccine in sight, the future remains uncertain for many small business owners.
For some, a new financial year is a chance to ‘clean house’ and start anew. While thatbusiness basics every owner can keep in mind, particularly as this EOFY will be uniqueSmall business owners often wear many hats; from accounting to managing payroll, to becoming experts in tax – running a smooth operation is no mean feat.
That’s why it’s important to use the new financial year as a chance to reflect on the business processes that are the most timely and stressful, and seek out solutions. There are endless options of apps, platforms and providers that offer affordable, automated and efficient fixes to the most common pain points faced by small business owners.
For example, if Single Touch Payroll gives you an administrative headache every week, look to accounting software like Xero that automate the report for you. Similarly, if you struggle with cashflow forecasting, websites like Eloquens provide free financial modelling templates from accounting experts.
Take note of the tasks that are slowing you down,, and compare the market within your community via LinkedIn or Facebook, to ask for advice and first-hand reviews of the tools you’re looking at investing in.
The Federal Government plans to end the JobKeeper allowance in September. While that’s a daunting prospect for businesses that are reliant on the subsidy, there’s still time to prepare.
Take a hard look at your cash flow, including overhead costs, wages, assets, cash reserves and debts. Once you’ve established the financial health of your business, start creating a financial plan for various scenarios. For example, if the JobKeeper scheme were to end early, what immediate costs could you cut? Would you ask your staff to reduce hours or wages? These are the tough questions to tackle now.
Expecting the unexpected unknown. While no one can predict the end of COVID-19, being ready to act is your best chance of business survival.
Taking decisive action is always better than doing nothing. As a leader, don’t allow yourself to become paralysed by uncertainty. Be empathic, authentic and purposeful in your decision-making by balancing strong leadership with vulnerability. Teams will always appreciate seeing your human side.
With that said, never fear over-communicating with your team. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to set the cadence for support, be that through regular ‘pulse-checks’ like employee mental wellness surveys, or getting your entire workforce together at least once a week for a leadership address, company updates and celebrations.
If you’re continuing to work remotely in the new financial year, start building an online culture of reward and recognition. When teams are working from home, it becomes harder to quickly say ‘thank you’. Creating structures, like a Slack channel dedicated to recognising star performers or investing in the right employee engagement software, will foster connection within your team and boost engagement through value-reinforcement.
Having a strong, connected workforce that looks out for one another enables your business to better handle disruption. You won’t get through the other side of the COVID-19 crisis if you’re operating on auto-pilot – so be prepared to land at multiple destinations with a moment’s notice assured by the knowledge that your team is backing your decisions.
Simon Sinek popularised the idea of finding your ‘why’ back in his 2009 TED Talk on ‘how great leaders inspire action’. The concept is still relevant today for many business leaders striving for innovation, growth and customer or employee loyalty.
Defining your ‘why’ is about finding the purpose, cause or belief that drives you. No matter how small your business is, every leader needs to tap into their purpose. By leading with your why, it’ll help drive every decision you make and will keep long-term goals aligned to your business’ growth.
I’m a big believer in the ‘Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal’ – otherwise known as a BHAG. This term describes a long-term ambition built from your company’s core values and purpose that you plan to achieve within the next 10 to 25 years. Your BHAG should also align back to your ‘why’.
A BHAG must be visionary, challenging and daring. It needs to be measurable and grounded in your company’s underlying strategy to be relevant. Examples include; expanding to three international markets, doubling the size of your team or becoming the leader in every market that you serve.
Your BHAG will be your driving force; it will impact the types of people you recruit now and in the future, and will align your team to a greater purposthink big, reassess your business’ ambitions and start making positive changes that align with your unique BHAG.
Now you’ve got your ‘why’ and your BHAG defined, how do you break down this driving force into actionable steps? Leading with purpose is great, but true success comes down to having a clear goal-setting framework. I’ve found that Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) work best for my team; and with the likes of Google, Linkedin and Atlassian using this framework, we’re in good company.
Businesses use OKRs to align their teamoutcomes – often quarterly – rather than quantitative KPI metrics.

Online products on Amazon in three easy steps.
Stores are quickly seeing results. First Aid & Safety, an online safety equipment supplier using the Magento platform, first launched Amazon Marketplaces by Springbot in early 2015 after noticing sales and orders had plateaued on Amazon. Within a few months, they saw significant improvement as traffic jumped to more than 11,000 views from the new listings. First Aid & Safety orders and units sold on Amazon also rose from low double digit units to almost 300 units.
On the Springbot dashboard, merchants can match products, set pricing, optimize their listing to win the Amazon Buy Box, and more. With Springbot’s reporting and analytics features, Springbot analyzes order information and provides real-time data helping store owners drive more revenue.
“The mistake many online stores make is selling solely through their website. Truly successful merchants understand they mustsites,” said Joe Reger, co-founder and CTO of Springbot. “Selling through , to reach new customers and generate more sales is now easier than ever before for Magento and Shopify merchants.”

The impulse behind the Pastoral symphony was Beethoven’s own love of the Austrian countryside. The five movements of Beethoven’s s. The five movements of Berlioz’ stunning Symphonie fantastique embody the visions of a lovesick musician in the grip of an overdose of opium. The idea of his beloved returns in various guises through the work, ending in a nightmarish witches’ sabbath. A profoundly imaginative score, it made the composer’s reputation all over Europe.

Boston lobster, brown crab, king crab, these precious animals travel from thousands of miles away and are supposed to be wrapped in red for the festive feast.
Soon any type of gathering was discouraged. Although the virus has since been found to originate from bats rather than seafood, seafood dealers suffered as people stopped eating in restaurants and they had to watch many aquatic animals die in their tanks.
Fish farmers have also suffered for a similar reason. Transport restrictions meant that feed and medicine deliveries weren’t possible, and employees couldn’t travel to work without going through quarantine for 10 days. Thankfully a governmental order has since permitted transport associated with agricultural supplies.
Supermarkets are open as normal and some restaurants have opened their doors but very few people go in. We are told it’s wiser to stay home, although we are permitted to go anywhere we want to. Personally I tend to stay home because the virus can spread without symptoms. You never know if the one who passes by is healthy or infected. That's a terrible feeling.
Businesses and schools have postponed reopening so the peak period of outbreak could be avoided. My own projects have to be delayed and nobody knows when to restart.
If the virus is similar to SARS it will vanish when the weather gets warmer. But, either way, there’s no doubt that the disaster will change many aspects of China’s economy, including aquaculture.

Following two characters, for example ค and ด it is essential, where the "curl" is set, to make characters, that have nothing in common and are not pronounced similar. These subtleties are learned best when writing the character. Find this two characters at the Consonant-Details and click on them. Study, based on the animation, how the characters are written and try to write on a sheet of paper by yourself! Take care how appear these characters in other scrips. Hear the names and the mnemonics.
It certainly requires a lot of time and hard work. But it must be. In parallel to this learning step, which will be facilitated by the following described equipment, you can address the following lessons already. But you will see, the more you come to learn the consonants, the easier it will be. To boost the learning process and to deal with it ourselves, let us look at the consonants more accurate at different points in time.
Exercise:Look for each of these signs on the Consonant Details. Call the detailed information (click). Look at how the letter is named and listen to the sound. Compare the characters with others, see the differences. Describe the differences on paper, like: The XX is distinguished from YY by ...
Remark:I should be able to describe everything here - but without a little cooperation it will not work. We need to deal with the characters. That is the goal of these tasks. I remember how I had to search every single character on the keyboard at the beginning. Now I know we can learn it only by training.
As several consonants have the same sound, it is not enough to simply say A or B, when a consonant is called individually. We have to speak the consonant sound together with a sound like "a:w" and a example word in which the letter appears.
A noticeable difference can possibly hear at the First. That is why we say the example word to clarify which "k" is meant.
The mnemonic that is listed in the details at every consonant eases the memorization of the order, if you want to recite the "Thail ABC". Although this is needed not every day in later life, but it is a convenient tool for learning. Just as we had to recite the alphabet in elementary school, children also learn the order of the consonants in Thailand. Of these key sentences are several known, is our only one of them, no better and no worse than others.
Summing up the consonants, resulting in the same sound, only 28 different sounds are remaining. Without distinction of "hard" and "soft" version of an otherwise identical sound, it would be even less.
Listen to the consonants again. Find out what separates the hard from the soft version of a sound.
Stay on this page and look at all the consonants. Listen to the sound samples, in particular the mnemotechnic verse several times and try to repeat what you hear, by imitating the intonation as well as possible. The mnemotechnic verse is important to recite all consonants in the right order.
Download the provided worksheets "consonants" in PDF format and print them out. These worksheets include for each consonant a whole page of information, writing lines, and sample characters.
Enter yourself the mnemonic on top of each worksheet. Listen to the mnemonic and write it down as you think it's right.
Have a look at the word by word translation of the mnemonic. You can incidentally learn these words by the way. Try to imagine the main word of the sentence.
Write, whenever you can, one line of each consonant in the worksheets. Not the whole page at a time! Read on every page that you make to the mnemonic first and try to remember the consonant along with an image of the character. From time to time, check the pronunciation online.
If you know the consonants a bit and can recognize and name some of it, download the video and watch it in a relaxed situation several times. Memorize every consonant together with his image and his mnemonic.
If you are so far that you have the corresponding character of every consonant "in mind", download the MP3 soundtrack of the video and listen to it in a relaxed situation with closed eyes as often as you can.

Someone who sees the first Thai script may wonder and ask how to keep these characters apart. In fact, at first glance it is not easy to see some differences between each character. But there are minute differences we see the latest when we are writing.

Q: Running cmd.exe through Start-Process with -Verb RunAs and then automatically running a command as Administrator Starting from a non-elevated PowerShell, I want to be able to launch a command prompt as Administrator and then run a particular tool as Administrator, ultimately to be used for a right-click menu option.
Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/k tool.exe' -Verb RunAs
While this does launch a command prompt as Administrator, it runs tool.exe first in a non-elevated command prompt and then switches to an Administrator command prompt.  How can I get this to run tool.exe as Administrator?
Edit:  As @mklement0 pointed out, the command prompt actually was being run as Administrator, it just wasn't reflected immediately in the window title (possibly a bug?).  Thus, the sample above does actually work as expected.
A: I think the premise of your question isn't correct, and you may have come to the conclusion in your question due to the fact that the window title of the newly opened window is only updated to reflect administrator status a short while after the window opens.
However, the process associated with the window is elevated from the very beginning, as the following command demonstrates:
# Opens an elevated cmd session in a new window and executes
# `net session`, which only succeeds with elevation.
Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/k net session' -Verb RunAs
The net session command succeeds, implying that the process is running with elevation (irrespective of how long it takes the window title to reflect that fact).

pping his guitar and sprinting off to his right,” he said. “I told my girlfriend we had to start running. I told her that, whatever we do, we can’t fall down or we’ll be trampled.” They turned to their left, the same direction Aldean had gone, and began to run.
The third volley of shots rang out: Leoni said he could tell by the sound that someone was using a gun. “I know how rapid those shots were. He didn’t just buy that gun off the shelf,” he said.
“I got hit in the back of my right thigh and I could not get up,” he said. As he lay there he was hit twice more by ricochets. “I have a hole about the size of my thumbnail on my inner left and inner right thigh,” he said.
When the men insisted he would be fine if he could just be gotten to the hospital, the driver told them he couldn’t find the keys.
“So they set me on the ground,” Leoni said. “A line of cars would pull up, and they put as many of the injured in as they could, and then the next car came up. Me and my girlfriend were put into the back of a pickup truck.”
In New Bern, those parents, Dennis and Martha Leoni were aware of the shooting, but they had no idea that their son was there. Rather, they were concerned about another relative. “We heard it on television,” Dennis said. “I have a sister that lives in Vegas. I thought it might have been her boy who could have been there, but she didn’t call or anything,” so he knew things were alright.
Leoni said he spoke with his parents later Monday morning. “He was pretty upset when I talked to him,” he said.
He was released last Friday, flown home on a Lear jet that had been converted into a medical ambulance, since that allowed him to lay down. “I flew into a municipal airport rather than DIA (Denver International Airport). The media’s been chasing me around like you wouldn’t believe.”
When he arrived an escort of a dozen police cars were awaiting him with their lights on. They transported him in style to his girlfriend’s place whose layout, he said, is more amenable to an invalid.

The female leatherback was found entangled in lines and buoys by three boaters Saturday.
The waters off Massachusetts may be known mostly for seals and sharks, but a few boaters and Coast Guard members on Nantucket got an up close look at another nautical visitor over the weekend. A 900-pound female leatherback sea turtle was found entangled among cinder blocks, buoys, and lines in Nantucket Harbor.
The turtle was safely freed by Coast Guard members, Nantucket Current reported.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Chad Austin told the Current that Station Brant Point received a call about the turtle Saturday afternoon. It was discovered by three friends out on a boat in the harbor. The massive turtle was seen struggling among orange buoys and lines attached to cinder blocks in the waters near Wyers Point.
Coast Guard members then consulted with the Marine Mammal Alliance Nantucket, and were briefed on the best way to disentangle a turtle this size.
They set off in a small rescue boat, and found the turtle.
“The line was wrapped around her neck and one of her fins, so we did our best to try to relieve the pressure with our boat hook,” Austin told the Current.
Three Coast Guard members got the lines off the turtle’s neck, before cutting the rest free from her body. They then dragged the lines, cinder blocks, and buoys onto the boat.
The lines were scallop spat bags owned by the town of Nantucket’s Natural Resources Department, the Nantucket Current reported. These mesh bags are commonly used to collect scallop larvae.
This is the first known instance of these bags and lines causing an entanglement like this, the department’s director, Jeff Carlson, told the Current. He called it a “freak” incident.
Leatherbacks are the largest sea turtle, and the only ones without a hard, bony shell. They are also the most wide-ranging sea turtle, found in waters all over the world. The leatherbacks found off the coast of Massachusetts breed on beaches farther south, on Caribbean islands, the coast of South America, Florida, and even Leatherbacks normally prefer open waters, but scientists have regularly observed them coming into the shallow coastal waters of Massachusetts to feed on concentrations of jellyfish. Each year, twenty or more are reported along the Massachusetts coast, according to MassWildlife.
Last year, volunteers worked to return a large leatherback to the ocean after it became stranded along the Herring River in Wellfleet.
Climate change could also be affecting these animals. In fall 2019, six leatherbacks were found dead off the Massachusetts coast. They would have normally returned south once August ended, but warming waters have pushed back the jellyfish blooms that draw the turtles to New England, The Boston Globe reported. Some of the dead turtles appeared to have been caught in fishing lines and other manmade materials.


Why I will miss Christopher Tolkien
JRR the father with his arm around Christopher, with whom he had a specially empathic relationship - that lasted until this week
 -
I always enjoy and appreciate (and re-read) those parts of the History of Middle Earth which Christopher contributed; starting with Unfinished Tales of 1980 (which I happen to be re-reading currently) and continuing up to The Fall of Gondolin (which was published in 2018, in which he said his goodbye).
(I leave aside the 1977 Silmarillion as somewhat of a failure, in which he had not hit his straps as an editor; and which lacks his authorial voice.)
Christopher's vast output of his father's posthumous primary writings, and of commentary and scholarship, seems to be motivated entirely by filial love; and this is what makes his achievement so beautiful.

NetFoundry Offer Free Programmable, Secure Remote Networking for Education, Medical and Law Enforcement Agencies
The onset of this COVID-19 global pandemic has caused severe disruption throughout the world; as a result, a lockdown has been enforced in most regions and is having a specific and substantial impact on the workplace. With many offices closing, employees have had to self-isolate themselves in their homes, causing significant difficulties for communication within and between companies. In addition, most enterprises are currently utilizing Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels, which lack protection, and as warned by CISA, the use of these VPNs by remote workers will become a security risk for companies.
North Carolina-based NetFoundry, one of the leaders in “Zero Trust” networking, has organized a response to the issues induced by the pandemic. Ne-performance networking for their remote staff, he states, “me.” He emphasizes that “”
As a result, a plethora of critical institutions such as charitable organizations, schools, law enforcement, and hospitals have been offered a trial of NetFoundry’s Cloud-Native Networking Platform for a minimum of three months. This removes the necessity of configuring and managing numerous VPN tunnels, instead of giving administrators central visibility and intricate control of the entire network. Available for any device, running on any operating system, example benefits from the network for critical environments include:
Hospitals and research institutes being able to connect across the globe to share essential findings to combat this pandemic
Schools and universities to share and access classes and lectures
Law enforcement to be better connected to combat unexpected security risks

Within a week of talking to George, I had finalized my itinerary from Newark, New Jersey, to Vienna. My friend Alex decided to go with me, and we researched rivers and streams, and made several excellent contacts with people who would point us in the right direction once we arrived. Based on our research, we expected great fishing for grayling, rainbow and brown trout, and huchen, also known as the Danube salmon and a close kin to taimen. But even our wildest expectations fell far short of reality.
From Vienna we traveled two hours southwest through the foothills of the Alps and wound up near the town of Göstling. At our lodge, the Aplenhotel Jagdhof Breitenthal, we spoke with the owner, Eva, about prospects for the following day. Considering the time we’d spent traveling, she suggested we fi sh the River Ybbs, which is between 30 and 50 feet wide with spectacular sections of pocket water that empty into placid pools. She said we’d have chances for grayling, trout, and huchen.
The following morning, we reached the banks of the Ybbs at 6:30 and were struck by the beauty and clarity of the river. We could see a great number of trout and grayling, but such transparent conditions usually mean that the fishing is fun but the catching is tough. The catching, however, was fantastic, and using European nymphing techniques, we regularly caught grayling, brown trout, and rainbow trout from 8 to 20 inches long. In fact, we caught so many fish that we decided to take an extended lunch and rest a little. And I’m glad I did, because of what transpired that afternoon.
After a long lunch and much-needed nap, we returned to the Ybbs, and I began drifting a CDC & Elk-Hair Caddis through riffled sections and hoped to catch grayling on the rise. I caught one grayling after another, and each was fun with my 3-weight rod.
Fishing upstream, I arrived at a plunge pool and got my first good look at huchen. Four giants finned in the current downstream of the pool, but I had no large streamers. Searching through my boxes, I settled on a Rubber Leg Stonefly Nymph. I attached it to the 5X fluorocarbon and made an up-and-across cast at a 45-degree angle. As the fly approached one of the huchen, I gave it a slight jigging action, and the fish took it. The fight was almost more than the 3-weight could bear, and after more than 20 minutes, I practically dived in to retrieve the fish, which measured 46 inches. Any huchen over 40 inches is considered large, and I took some pictures of the great fish and released it. I knew right then that the combination of a lot of fish plus an occasional large one would lead to a very memorable summer vacation.
A good night’s rest had Alex and me ready for another day of intense fishing. Eva suggested the Upper River Ybbs. She assured us that there would be even more fish, and I thought, How can there be more?
But at the very first pool, the trout were too numerous to count. The grayling were feeding above and below the surface. And over the next three hours, I think I caught every fi sh in the pool. I was fishing a combination of nymphs, dry flies, and a dry–dropper tandem. The fi sh were taking everything, and we were catching them in short succession.
At one point, I released a fi sh and then simply stood and took in my surroundings—the foothills of the Alps, the Alps in the distance, and a beautiful river loaded with eager fi sh. So this is what a fly fisherman’s paradise looks like?
Later in the day, I tied on a BlueWinged Olive, simply for the joy of catching fish on the surface. And I experienced the joy many times over. The fishing really didn’t slow down all day until rain and thunder chased me from the river. </s> Ab. </s> *A good presentation on why divestment is a worthy goal.

The sphygmomanometer cuff of the present invention includes an air bladder (101) which receives a supply of air to compress a radial artery and an ulnar artery and a cuff band around the air bladder (101) on a wrist , which includes the radial artery and the ulnar artery. The air bladder (101) has a wide portion (104) disposed on the radial artery and the ulnar artery, and first and second narrow portions (105, 106) continuous with the wide portion (104 ) and are narrower than the wide portion (104). The edges (105a, 105b, 106a, 106b) of the first and second narrow portions (105, 106), which are continuous with the edges (104a, 104b) of the wide portion (104), are formed as straight lines, which correspond to the Width direction are inclined.
The present invention relates to a sphygmomanometer cuff used in, for example, an upper arm sphygmomanometer, a wrist sphygmomanometer, or the like.
Background of the prior art
As in JP 10-57323A (Patent Literature 1), there are conventional sphygmomanometer cuffs including a cuff band configured to be wound around a wrist and an air bladder provided in the cuff band and receiving a supply of air to compress an artery of the wrist.
In the conventional sphygmomanometer cuff, a reduction in the capacity of the air bladder is achieved due to the air bladder having a cross shape in a plan view. More specifically, the air bladder is made of a wide portion having a large width (lwinding around the wrist) and narrow portions provided on the two sides in the winding direction of the large-width portion , constructed, and these are narrower than the wide subarea.
Patent Literature 1: JP 10-57323A
In the conventional sphygmomanometer cuff, the air bladder is cross-shaped in a plan view, and therefore a portion extending in the width direction in the air bladder and a portion extending in the winding direction in the air bladder intersect at a right angle. In other words, the wide portion and the narrow portion form a right angle.
As a result, when air is supplied to the air bladder, stress is concentrated at the boundary between the wide portion and the narrow portion, and therefore there is a problem that tearing on the air bladder is likely to occur Subarea with the right angle occurs.
In vhygmomanometer cuff which can reduce the capacity of a fluid bladder and make it less likely that tearing will occur when a fluid is supplied to the fluid bladder.
In order to solve the problem described above, a sphygmomanometer cuff according to the present invention includes:
a fluid bladder receiving a supply of fluid to compress an artery; and
an attachment means for securing the fluid bladder to a measurement surface containing the artery,
wherein the fluid bladder includes:
a wide portion, which is arranged on the artery, and
a narrow portion which is continuous in the wide portion and which is narrower than the wide portion, and
the edge of the narrow portion which is continuously formed with the edge of the wide portion as an approximately straight line which is inclined with respect to the width direction.
Here, examples of the almost straight lines include a straight line and a shape obtained by forming a portion of a straight line (eg, an end thereof) in a curved linfluid bladder has a narrow portion which is narrower than the wide portion, the capacity of the fluid bladder can be reduced.
Also,  with the edge of the wide portion is formed, and therefore, the wide portion and the narrow portion can be made to be an obtuse angle form. Accordingly, when a fluid is supplied to the fluid bladder, the stress is notit is possible to make it less likely that cracking will occur.
In the sphygmomanometer cuff according to an embodiment,
For example, the narrow portion is provided at one end in a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the fluid bladder.
According to the embodiment, by providing the narrow portion, the artery can be sufficiently compressed even if the capacity of the fluid bladder is reduced.
In the sphygmomanometer cuff according to one embodiment
For example, the narrow portion is provided at the central portioncapacity of the fluid bladder can be further reduced.
For example, a partitioned portion that divides the interior of the fluid bladder into a plurality of spaces is provided in the fluid bladder.
According to the embodiment, since there is a split portion which divides the inside of the fluid bladder into a plurality of spaces, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the fluid bladder by the capacity corresponding to the divided portion.
The divided portion is provided at the centerabove embodiment, in the case where the fluid bladder is fixed to the wrist by the fastener, the divided portion is provided in the center in theand thereby it is possible for one of the spaces in the fluid bladder is placed on the ulnar artery and the otherradial artery. Accordingly, the ulnar artery and the radial artery can be reliably compressed.
That is, the divided portion is provided so as to be out of the center toward anwhen the fluid bladder is attached to the wrist by using the fastener, the split portion is provided so as to be out of center toward one of the spaces in the fluid bladder be made larger than the other space in the fluid bladder. Accordingly, when the largest, it is possible to compress the ulnar artery, which is placed lower than the radial artery.
The lengthwide portion is 1/2 to 3/4 of tusing the fastener,Fluid bladder, and therefore it is possible to avoid compressing only one of the ulnar artery and the radial artery.
The a fluid bladder that receives a supply of fluid to compress an artery, and the fluid bladder has a wide portion disposed on the artery and a narrow portion continuously connected to the artery Partial area is, and which is narrower than the wide portion, and therefore nearand stress can be prevented from being. Accordingly, it is possible to1 is a schematic perspective view of an applied state of a Wrist FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view of a sphygmomanometer cuf3ine III-III in 2 is included.

8thDescription of the embodiments
Below is a sphygmomanometer cuff 3ts shown in the drawings.
1 Fig. 12 is a schematic perspective view of a condition in which a wrist blood pressure monitor 1 an embodiment of the present invention has been applied to a wrist W when viewed obliquely from above.
The sphygmomanometer 1 includes a sphygmomanometer body 2 , and a sphygmomanometer cuff 3 which has an outer periphery to which the sphygmomanometer body 2 is fixed, by which the blood pressure is measured by compressing a radial artery RA and an ulnar artery UA in the wrist W. Note that the wrist W is an example of a measurement surface.
A display unit 21 which displays various types of information including a blood pressure value and an operation unit 22 which is operated to input various types of instructions for the measurement are on the surface of the sphygmomanometer body 2 provided. Likewise, a pump, which air to a Luftbalg 101 in the sphygmomanometer cuff 3 supplies, a pressure sensor, which has an output value corresponding to the internal pressure of the air bladder 101 (hereinafter referred to as "cuff pressure"), and a controller that controls the pump, the pressure sensor, and the like, in the sphygmomanometer body 2 although these are not shown in the drawing.
2 is a schematic plan view of the sphygmomanometer cuff 3 when viewed from the side of the sphygmomanometer body 2 is looked at. Also is 3As in 2 and 3 shown includes the sphygmomanometer cuff 3 the air bellows 101 which has an octagonal shape in a plan view, a cuff band 102 to the air bladder 101 to fix on the wrist W, and a link 103 , which is the air bellows 101 with the cuff band 102 combines. Note that the air bellows 101 an example of a fluid bladder, and the cuff band 102 is an example of a fastening device. In 2width direction of the cuff band 102 and the bellows 101 , and the latera(the direction orthogonal to the width direction). The two ends in the longitudinal direction of the cuff band 102 be through the reference numbers 102e and 102f displayed.
The air bellows 101 is in the space inside the cuff band 102 arranged so that it is closer to the side of the end portion 102eis. The air bellows 101 has an inner foil 111 , which is arranged on the side of the wrist W, and an outer film 112 which is arranged on the side of the main part of the sphygmomanometer. Similarly, if air to the bellows 101 supplied by the pump, the air bellows expands 101 out and compresses the radial artery RA and the ulnar artery UA. This type of air bladder 101 is by dissecting the inner foil 111 and the outer foil 112 which have almost the same shape, and by welding or joining the peripheral edge portion of the inner film 111 and the peripheral edge portion of the outer film 112 receive. The material of the inner foil 111 and the outer foil 112 may be any as long as it is high in elasticity and air does not leak from the peripheral edge portion after welding. Specifically, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), PVC (flexible polyvinyl chloride), PU (polyurethane), TPE-O (thermoplastic elastomer based on olefin), rubber and the like are examples of materials for the inner film 111 and the outer foil 112 ,
The cuff band 102 owns an inner cloth 121 , which is the inner foil 111 opposite, and an outer cloth 122 , which is the outer foil 112 opposite. If the cuff band 102 Wrapped around the wrist W, is the largest part of the inner cloth 121 in direct contact with the wrist W. Also is the shape of the outer cloth 122 and the inner cloth 121 in a plan view approximately rectangular, and the peripheral edge portion of the outer fabric 122 and the peripheral edge portion of the inner drape 121 are sewn together. Also is a polyester surface attachment member 123 on the external side of the end portion 102f (on the surface of the side opposite the side of the bellows 101 ) in the longitudinal direction of the inner fabric 121 (in the direction in which the cuff band 102 provided around the wrist W). Also, polyester fiber or the like is used as the material of the outer cloth 122 For example, polyamide or polyurethaneinner cloth 121 used.
The connecting link 103 has a base portion 131 which is made by welding the peripheral edge thereof to the outer foil 112 is formed, a first pipe portion 132 to let air into and out of the air bladder, a second pipe section 133 to detect the cuff pressure and a hook portion 134 , its distal edge portion with the outer cloth 122 engages. The base part area 131 , the first pipe section 132 , the second pipe section 133 and the hook part area 134 are integrally formed by resin welding. Also extend the first pipe portion 132 and the second pipe portion 133 from the base portion 131 to the side of the outer cloth 122 and the distal end portions thereof protrude from the outer drape 122 out. Likewise, similarly extending to the first pipe portion 122 and the second pipe portion 133 also the hook part area 134 from the sock thereof protrudes from the outer cloth 122 out, and the distal end portion is bent in a reverse L-shape in a side view (see 5 ).
4 is a schematic plan view of the air bladder 101 if thisLikewise is 5 a schematic cross-sectional view when these from the line VV in 4 is looked at.
As in 4 and 5 is shown has the air bellows 101 a wide subarea 104 , which is disposed on the radial artery RA and the ulnar artery UA, a first narrow portion 105 which is continuous with one end in the longitudinal direction of the wide portion 104 (the direction in which the cuff band 102 wrapped around the wrist W), and is narrower than the wide portion 104 , and a second narrow section 106 which is continuous with the outernarrower than the wide portion 104 is. A length L1 in the longitudinal direction of the air bladder 101 is set to 140 mm, for example. Note that the first narrow section 105 and the second narrow section 106 Examples of the narrow portions are provided at the respective ends in the longitudinal direction.
The shape of the wide section 104 is rectangular in a top view. A length L2is set to 100 mm, for example.
The twocan by the reference numbers 101e and 101f be designated. The first narrow section 105 will be on the final part area 101fprovided, whereas the second narrow portion 106 on the end part area 101eprovided. The first and second narrow sections 105 and 106 each have a shape which gradually becomes narrower the farther they are from the wide portion 104 is removed. More specifically, the width W1 of the wide portion side 104 ,portion 106 is set to 60 mm, for example, and the width W2 of the side opposite to the side of the wide portion 104 of20 mm, for example. Likewise, the edges 105a and 106a the first and second narrow sections 105 and 106 which is continuous to the edge 104a of the wide subarea 104 are formed as straight lines which are inclined with respect to the width direction. Likewise, the edges 105b and 106bb of the wide subarea 104 are also shapThat is, the shapes of the first and second narrow portions 105 and 106 are in a plan view trapezoids, which have been rotated by 90 °.
In the sphygmomanometer cuff 3 , which has the above configuration, has the air bellows 101, which are narrower than the wide subarea 104 are, and therefore the capacity of the bellows 101 be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible a reduction in the size of the pump and a reduction in the size and thickness of the sphygmomanometer 1 to realize.
Likewise, the edges 105a , 05b, 106awith the edges 104a and 104bCorresponding to the edge 104a of the wide subarea 104 andobtuse angles, and the edge 104b of the wide subarea 104 andform obtuse angles. Accordingly, if air to the air bladder 101 is fed, it is possible to prevent stress at the boundary between the wide sub-range 104 andis concentrated, and to prevent the bellows 101 easily rips.
Likewise, since the first narrow section 105 at an and the second narrow section 106 at the other, is the wide subarea 104 reliably arrangnd the radial artery RA and the ulnar artery UA can be sufficiently compressed. Accordingly, even if the air bladderhas a good accuracy in blood pressure measurement can be achieved.
In the above embodiment, an air bladder 101 which receives a supply of air to compress an artery, however, an air bladder may be used which receives a supply of fluid to compress an artery.
In the above embodiment, the edges are 105a . 105b ., but it is possible that they have shapes.g., the end portion) in a curved line.
In the above embodiment, an example was described in which twas applied to a wrist sphygmomanometer, however, the sphygmomanometer toa wrist sphygmomanometer , In other wordsmay be a sphygmomanometer attached to any location on the human body, such as an upper arm, a thigh, an ankle, a finger or similar.
In the above embodiment, the air bellows 101 covered by a cuff band and was not in contact with the measuring surface, but it may be in contact with the measuring surface.
In the above embodiment, it is preferable that the1/2 to 3/4 of the. That is, it is preferable that the length L2 is set to be within the range of 1/2 L1 to 3/4 L1. When set in this manner, it is possible to avoid a situation in which only one of the ulnar artery UA and the radial artery RA can be compressed.
In the above embodiment, the sphygmomanometer cuff included the air bladder 101 which is in 4 shown, however, she can use a pneumatic bellows 201 include, which in 6 will be shown.
