Tips: Maximizing your income tax returnDave Rocker
Filing your taxes early provides several benefits: you are likely to receive a larger tax refund on average of $450 more than later filers; filing early helps prevent identity theft which has spiked in tax-related complaints in recent years; and if you owe taxes, filing early gives you more time to pay and avoids stress later in the tax season.

El Índice de Confianza del Consumidor (ICC) cayó en febrero de 2017 con respecto a enero y febrero de 2016. Todos los subíndices del ICC, incluyendo la situación personal, situación macroeconómica y bienes durables e inmuebles, experimentaron caídas. La confianza del consumidor cayó en la Capital Federal, Gran Buenos Aires e interior del país. La confianza cayó más para los consumidores con mayores ingresos que para aquellos con menores ingresos.
Este documento presenta una serie de afirmaciones sobre el ex presidente Álvaro Uribe Vélez y su gobierno, indicando si son falsas o verdaderas. Entre los logros positivos se destacan la reducción de la violencia, el aumento de la inversión y el crecimiento económico, así como mayores coberturas en educación y salud. También se aclara que Uribe no tuvo responsabilidad en la masacre del Aro ni en las llamadas "chuzadas", y que no aumentó el IVA como se afirma.
Este documento resume los resultados de 300 casos de pacientes que recibieron discolisis con ozono como tratamiento primario para hernias discales entre 2010-2016. Los pacientes se dividieron en 4 grupos según la técnica utilizada. Más del 90% reportó mejoría significativa del dolor y más del 80% tuvo un periodo asintomático mayor a 3 años. La discolisis con ozono debe considerarse la primera opción de tratamiento no quirúrgico para hernias discales cuando se cumplen los criterios de inclusión.
This slide deck is basically an extended and updated version of the "Microservices - stress-free and without increased heart-attack risk" slide deck - yet quite a lot of extensions and updates.
The deck is organized in three parts: Why, What and How.
The first part addresses the question if and when you should use microservices at all. It tries to create a bigger picture by explaining changing (business) markets and a changing role of IT and fits microservices into that picture. When looking at this picture it also becomes clear that microservices always should accompanied by other measures like DevOps, Cloud and some more if you really want to leverage its benefits. Otherwise you usually only get the downsides of microservices with harvesting their benefits.
The second part revisits the famous blog post from James Lewis and Martin Fowler, using it to explain what characteristics the microservice architecural style has. It turns out that this post contains quite a lot of information and that quite often only a subset of the characteristics get implemented.
The third part, the "How" dives deeper into the challenges and pitfalls that you usually encounter if you decide to adopt microservices. While of course not being complete and not being a perfect guide that makes everything easy, it should at least help you tho avoid the most common problems and pitfalls.
As always the voice track is missing which contains most of the information (it is a 90 min talk after all), but hopefully also the slides alone contain some helpful information.
Integration of mixed-criticality subsystems on multicore and manycore processorsBabak Sorkhpour
This document summarizes an international workshop on integrating mixed-criticality subsystems on multicore and manycore processors. The workshop addressed several challenges in integrating mixed-criticality systems, including extra functional requirements, architectures, development tools, and certification. Several European projects were presented that are continuing research from previously completed projects in this area to address these challenges, with a focus on requirements, computer architectures, software support, and community building efforts.

This document discusses virtualization techniques for mixed-criticality systems using heterogeneous multicore processors. It begins with an introduction that outlines problems with complex embedded systems like certification and dependability. It then describes solutions like partitioning kernels and hypervisors that provide virtual execution environments and isolation. Examples of virtualization techniques are given, like the XtratuM hypervisor, that provide temporal and spatial isolation between partitions. Use cases like avionics and automotive systems are discussed where virtualization can help integrate applications with different criticality levels.
Goal: SAFEPOWER has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 687902.
SAFEPOWER’s goal is to enable the development of low power mixed-criticality systems through the provision of a reference architecture, platforms and tools to facilitate the development, testing, and validation of these kinds of systems according to the market needs
It is expected that the SAFEPOWER reference architecture and platforms will enable the integration and partitioning of mixed-criticality applications on a single device while reducing the total power consumption by 50%, compared to the non-integrated multi-chip implementation. To address this goal, SAFEPOWER needs to address a number of technology development challenges, that will afterwards be applied to the main project outputs, namely the SAFEPOWER low power reference architecture, the platforms and tools for the development, testing, and validation of low power mixed criticality systems.
