The Zambezi River Authority has reported that water levels have rapidly fallen at Kariba Dam, a development that will likely see Zimbabwe's power crisis escalating.
The authority reports that water level in the Kariba Dam was at 476,75 metres translating to 8,64 per cent of the dam capacity on Thursday last week.
This translates to just 1,25 metres above the minimum 475,50m recommended for power generation. Zimbabwe and Zambia use Kariba Dam for their hydropower generation and the decrease in water levels has seen the two countries decreasing power generation.
In an update on the water levels, Zambezi River Authority said:
The Kariba Lake is designed to operate between levels 475,50m and 488,50m (with 0,70m freeboard) for hydro-power generation. The lake level has been decreasing due to reduced rainfall activities around and on the lake to close the period under review at 476,75m (8,64 per cent usable storage) on 30 January 2020. Last year on the same date, the lake level was 481,73m (44,83 per cent usable storage).
There were high hopes that water levels will improve during this rainy season and Finance Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube highlighted the importance of improved water levels to sectors including agriculture and energy which also have a direct trickle down effect on other sectors.

bitmaps can then be put onto the background. A transparent color can be specified before drawing a bitmap, these pixels won't be drawn in transparent mode. RLE compression expects a list of 2 values: first one is the pixel color, second one is the number of pixels to draw with this color.
See terminal_codes for the specific commands.
There are a few examples in this directory.
Sprite handling
Once a bitmap is loaded, it can be used to draw a maximum of 256 sprites. A sprite is an object which is movable over the background. If a sprite is moved or removed, the previous background gets restored. If the sprite is manipulated by a bitmap or a different sprite, this state remains until it gets moved or removed. The sprite is then redrawn and the previous background restored. Moving a sprites, which is overlaped by another leads to artefacts.
Sprites can be drawn solid or with a transparent color. A drawn sprite keeps its settings (solid/transparent) and even the tranparent color until it gets removed.
Once a sprite is active, you should not manipulate or reload its bitmap source, otherwise the sprite changes to this new bitmap source if it gets moved.
Animations could be realized by redefining the sprite with a different bitmap source.
There's a example for a moving dinosaur (after first loading them in hex or binary).
Graphics performance
Since we have cache enabled now on the Pi, the speed is more or less the same on every model. In most cases it's probably faster to not enable DMA.
Graphics which are drawn on a multiple of 4 pixels x-position draw faster than on a multiple of 2 or 1. You will also get more speed if your image has a width of a multiple of 4. Drawing solid is faster than drawing transparent.
This is a table that shows the time for drawing a 400x300 pixel image on different x-positions. This is an example for getting an idea.
Pi Gen. Aligned 4 px Aligned 2 px unaligned DMA enabled
1 (zero) 4.7ms 9.3ms 10.5ms 3.9ms
2 1.9ms 2.1ms 2.6ms 5.2ms
3 2.2ms 2.7ms 3.8ms 5.2ms
4 0.9ms 1.6ms 3.3ms 4.9ms
Collision detection
At the time a sprite is defined, the borders of the sprite are used for detecting collisions with other sprites, so this is always a rectangle. A collision is reported if 2 sprites touch or overlap. Collisions with lower sprite indexes are detected first.
Collision detection takes place at the time a sprite is defined or moved. This sprite is checked against all other active sprites. All detected collisions are reported.
A collision is reported as a keyboard input with this syntax: \ESC[#-idx1-;-idx2-c where -idx1- is the sprite index you just defined or moved and -idx2- is the sprite it collides with.
Compiling on Mac / Linux
To compile you will need to install a GNU ARM cross compiler toolchain and ensure that arm-none-eabi-gcc, arm-none-eabi-as arm-none-eabi-ld and arm-none-eabi-objcopy are in your PATH.
At this point, just run:
$./makeall
in the PiGFX root directory. The project should compile with the 2019 version of the toolchain.
Compiling on Windows
You'll also need the git executable git.exe in your PATH.
At this point, just run:
> makeall

Money to preserve Mitchelville community on Hilton Head tied up in SC budget debate
_EMAIL_ 23, 2012
A state budget proposal sets aside $200,000 to preserve Mitchelville, believed to be American's first planned community for freed slaves, but supporters might have to fight for it.
The S.C. Senate debated amendments to the 2012-13 budget Tuesday and Wednesday. Among them is a measure from Sen. Shane Massey, R-Edgefield, stripping $4 million worth of projects earmarked for private nonprofits and local governments, including $200,000 for the Mitchelville Preservation Project.
Some senators, however, are considering whether the money could be routed through state agencies, which would decide how best to disburse the dollars.
Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, who supports Mitchelville's restoration, says he will vote in favor of Massey's amendment.
"I think preserving Mitchelville is a worthy project, but it ought not be funded via a political earmark in the budget," Davis said. "All politicians think their projects are worthy. That's why it's important for the projects to go through a competitive selection process before the appropriate executive agency, which in the case of Mitchelville would be the Department of Archives and History."
Davis believes he can persuade the state agency to fund its preservation, and says he's eager to help, comparing the effort to preserving Civil War battlefields of Gettysburg, Pa., and Manassas, Va.
"It's an extraordinary story, a compelling reminder of a defining moment in our nation's history right here in our own backyard," he said. "I am a strong proponent of limited government, but preserving something of great historical significance is a proper state function, and I am prepared to advocate its funding to the appropriate state agency in an open and competitive process."
Mitchelville was established in 1862, before the Emancipation Proclamation and a year after Union ships drove Confederate troops from Hilton Head Island.
Barracks were initially set up for "contraband" slaves left behind Union lines and those who fled to freedom from plantations on nearby islands. Living conditions, however, soon became intolerable.
Military orders were issued from Washington freeing the slaves in April 1862. Later, Union Gen. Ormsby Mitchel, for whom Mitchelville is named, set land aside to create the village. Each family was given a quarter-acre plot to build a home and grow crops. The village of 1,500 or so was built along what is now Beach City Road at the island's north end.
The freedmen elected their own officials and passed their own laws, including the first compulsory education law in the South, before Constitutional amendments granted such rights for African Americans.
The nonprofit group seeking to preserve the site hopes to use the state money to help buy plots adjoining 35-acres of townand county-donated land along Beach City Road.
The land abuts Fish Haul Creek Park, which the Town of Hilton Head has tentatively agreed to lease to the group so parts of the village can be recreated. The 10.5 acres would help the group preserve more of Mitchelville, which over time has been split, built up, sold, resold and eyed for development.
"We want to acquire as much of the original Mitchelville land as we can to preserve the spot where these freed slaves saw the dawn of freedom," newly named project chairman Randy Dolyniuk said.
The group is particularly interested in buying Jerre Weckhorst's house, a replica home and headquarters for Gen. Mitchel, which includes a trove of artifacts from the mid-19th century and earlier.
The house is not on the market, but Weckhorst said he will consider selling to the Mitchelville group.
The nonprofit group hopes it can purchase the five parcels for about $2.9 million.
"Two-hundred thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket, but is a very important drop in the bucket," Dolyniuk said. "That may be the seed money that will help us leverage more donations."
There is no timetable for completion of the project, which is in its early stages. Plans include ongoing archeological digs and research; replicas of cottages, a school, and a prayer house; commemorative statues and a welcome center.
"It's a shame more people, even those in Beaufort County, don't know about Mitchelville," Davis said. "We rightly recognize Penn Center and the historic district of downtown Beaufort, but don't give Mitchelville its due, and I will do whatever I can to raise public awareness and ensure it is preserved."

Thanks to modern technology Caroline now offers online tuition in Anglo Irish Concertina on a range of platforms – Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook and Zoom to students all over the world. This means that anyone, anywhere in the world can learn Irish traditional music from an expert tutor. Through regular lessons, students can expect to improve concertina technique, and develop maturity and musicality in their playing. Online lessons are highly successful and reap many of the rewards of traditional face to face lessons, right from the comfort of your own home!
In general, students can expect a lesson to include:
- Revision of previous tune – suggestions of revisions (improvements or additional embellishments).
- A new piece of repertoire – taught phrase by phrase through repetition.
- Lesson ends with revision of new piece and Caroline records the tune at various speeds – slow, phrase by phrase and 'normal speed'. The recording also includes relevant indications on fingering. This recording acts as a guide to facilitate independent learning and practice before the next lesson.
Over time, the listening skills developed during lessons will allow learners to pick up tunes with minimal effort by ear (Yes anyone has this ability, you just need to be taught how!). This repetitive technique also improves and stabilises rhythm and builds confidence. Students learn to contextualise the music, gaining an insight into the tunes and traditions from an insiders' prospective – a pivotal feature of a living tradition which is often overlooked.
Students will be encouraged to develop their own individual style and gradually begin to find their place within the wider Irish traditional music community.

To better understand the dynamics of water near a hydrophobic surface, we have studied water confined in a hydrophobically modified nanoporous silica matrix, MCM-41-SM1-18, with ≈15 Å pore dimension. Confinement prevents crystallization, enabling measurements from 300 K to 210 K. This is important because the anomalous
behavior of water can only be understood by probing water in deeply supercooled states.
To follow the time evolution of the water dynamics, we collected data using three CHRNS spectrometers; DCS, HFBS, and NSE.
At high temperature T the measured average diffusion coefficient, D, is similar to that of bulk water. In the deeply supercooled region, the diffusion coefficient of bulk water tends to decrease with decrease in T, much faster than for water in MCM-41-SM1-18. Figure 2(b) compares the average characteristic relaxation times 0 for water in hydrophilic MCM-41-S (pore diameter ≈14 Å), and in hydrophobically modified MCM-41-SM1-18.
At high T, 0is the same forboth samples but in the deeply supercooled region as in super-cooled bulk water H2O molecules confined in hydrophilic sieves show a much stronger dependence of 0 on T. Fitting the data using a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) law, we find that the fragility parameter is higher for water in MCM-41SM1-18 than in MCM-41-S, suggesting that hydrophobically confined water behaves as a stronger glass-former.
These findings suggest that water confined in a hydrophilic matrix is qualitatively more similar to bulk water than water confined by hydrophobic walls.

The benefits and harms of The valuy
The valuy is a fungus, which belongs to the genus Russula. Sometimes called mushroom goby, swenor, pig-face and a lot of other names found in the lexicon of avid mushroom pickers. Oddly enough, but in many countries this type of mushroom is considered poisonous. And in any case not eat. In our country, the mushroom is considered poisonous edible, and, in spite of this, quietly used as an ingredient for cooking.
Valuy – small size, pileus will dostigaet about six to eight inches. The color of the mushroom is yellow to yellow-brown color. At the beginning the pileus, has a spherical shape, but eventually she opens up and becomes more flat. And in the center of the cap, a recess is formed. The skin of this mushroom is very smooth, slimy, shiny, and very well removed. The flesh of the fungus is white, but the cut is noticeably darkens. The smell of mushroom is not very pleasant, taste bitter. But it is not necessary to check it, as it can be very dangerous.
Properties valuy
The fungus is not of great value to humans. He is more a danger than many other mushrooms. This type of mushroom is better to leave in the woods.
Use valuy
This is one of the few products, about which virtually nothing to say. Since the mushroom is considered poisonous to eat. From this fungus, you can get more harm than good. Of course it is used in food, but it does not contain any useful and valuable substances. In addition, the fungus, before use undergoes a thorough heat treatment. It is boiled, soaked and then salted. So it's safe to say that everything that could be useful, disappeared after cooking. But do not worry, there are fungi from which man can benefit.
The application of the valuy
The valuy growing in our country in the Far East, Western Siberia. In these places the pickers, collecting this type of mushrooms, they make them for winter harvesting. Basically, the mushrooms are first soaked, boiled, and then salted. There are times when this type of mushroom is marinated. But before this procedure, you must remove the skin and thoroughly soak it in water.
Some people believe that the infusion of this mushroom can be used as polishing. That is, this tool will wipe that area of the body that causes pain, or has any pathology. But it is necessary to warn readers, do not apply this type of treatment, without proper authorization of your doctor.
The dangers of valuy
As mentioned above, the fungus is considered in many countries toxic. And its use in food. And this is not a fictional fact. In 1944, the German mycologist, was in the hospital after eating mushroom. It is unknown exactly how much he ate mushrooms, but the result was disastrous. Soon after eating, he felt an attack of weakness, dizziness. Soon came the vomiting. In the hospital are unable to help the patient, as he had kidney failure. Unfortunately, this story is not the last, every year in different parts of our country from mushroom poisoning kills tens of people. Unfortunately, no one can with accuracy and confidence to say that the mushroom will not be for you poisonous. Therefore, before use, you should consider whether there is a need to use this mushroom. In fact, besides this species of mushrooms in the woods enough. Among them, there are not only tasty but also healthy mushrooms.
Cases of poisoning from valuy, appear every year.

We consider a family of problems that are concerned about making predictions for the majority of unlabeled, graph-structured data samples based on a small proportion of labeled samples. Relational information among the data samples, often encoded in the graph/network structure, is shown to be helpful for these semi-supervised learning tasks. However, conventional graph-based regularization methods and recent graph neural networks do not fully leverage the interrelations between the features, the graph, and the labels. In this work, we propose a flexible generative framework for graph-based semi-supervised learning, which approaches the joint distribution of the node features, labels, and the graph structure. Borrowing insights from random graph models in network science literature, this joint distribution can be instantiated using various distribution families. For the inference of missing labels, we exploit recent advances of scalable variational inference techniques to approximate the Bayesian posterior. We conduct thorough experiments on benchmark datasets for graph-based semi-supervised learning. Results show that the proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art models under most settings.

Bus Accident Reporting System (BARS)
The Texas Education Agency's Bus Accident Reporting System (BARS) uses an annual survey to collect information on accidents involving school buses operated or contracted for use by school districts and charter schools, as required by statute and rule.
In responding to the survey, local education agencies are required to provide the following information for each accident:
- Type of bus involved
- Number of students/adults involved in the accident
- Number and types of injuries that were sustained by bus passengers
- Whether injured passengers were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident and, if so, the type

With an arched span of 265 meters and a height of 220 meters, the Tamina Bridge in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen towers above the gorge with the same name. This impressive structure was planned by the engineering office Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner. The company utilized the numerous advantages of 3D modeling in the process. In this article, you will learn what characterizes the Tamina Bridge and what challenges the engineers mastered thanks to 3D technology.

Bridge construction under difficult topographic conditions
Newly opened on 22 June 2017, the Tamina Bridge connects the two villages of Pfäfers and Valens, which were previously separated by the deep Tamina gorge. The existing municipal road to Valens always suffered from landslides, rockfalls and road sinking. That is why a public competition was announced in 2007 for the planning and design of a bridge, which was won by the engineering office Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP). The company was responsible for the structural design as well as for the design planning. The engineers relied on the CAD software Allplan Engineering during all phases. They installed a total of 14,000 cubic meters of concrete, 3,000 tons of reinforcement, 180 tons of pre-tensioned strands and 140 tension member anchorages.
An earthquake-proof structure
Due to the very steep valley flanks and the large valley depth, the planners designed a structure consisting of an arch and a continuous beam, which is monolithically connected to the arch via horizontal element shafts and arched supports. This structure must withstand numerous stresses, such as wind and earthquakes. The possible failure of a tension cable also had to be safeguarded against.
© In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Valens side was nearly complete. Photo: Civil engineering department of the canton of St. Gallen
The 265 meter long arc is tensioned on both sides in the horizontal elements. The cross-section height is four meters at the horizontal element on the Pfäfers side. It reduces to two meters in the direction of the arc crest. The width also varies: between nine meters at the horizontal elements in Pfäfers and five meters in the crest area.
Less weight for the Tamina Bridge
The structure is designed as a hollow cross-section on more than half of its length. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the total weight of the Tamina Bridge. The superstructure consists of a concrete hollow box with a web of 55 centimeters. The planners were also able to easily house two web tension members side by side. In order to create the necessary space for the pre-tensioned strands, LAP widened the webs and increased the thickness of the roadway slab at the ends of the building sections.
© Anchorage of the pre-tensioned cables with reinforcement and fixtures. Fig.: LAP
In addition, the transverse slope of the roadway varies, because the route planning in the plan occurred at the ends of the bridge with circular arcs. The Tamina Bridge runs from west to east. The inclination value is between five percent towards the north on the Valens side and up to five percent towards the south on the Pfäfers side.
Successful construction project thanks to 3D planning
LAP was already relying on Allplan Engineering when developing their entry for the competition. The engineering office was able to confirm and optimize the dimensions in the entry in the further course of planning. The modeling in 3D had its advantages, especially in critical areas, such as in the incorporation of the horizontal element shafts in the superstructure. Markus Förster, department head for bridge building at LAP, explains: "Already during the tendering phase, extensive representations of pre-stressed element guiding and reinforcement were required to demonstrate the building capability of the draft on the one hand and similarly to make the tendering construction companies aware of the challenging framework conditions.
For example, the planners integrated each of the 55 concreting sections of the arc exactly into the 3D model. This facilitated the desired position of the individual elements and the precise measurement of the formwork. In this way, the engineering office was able to plan the complex Tamina Bridge holistically and without collisions. A similarly challenging structure for the engineering office is the extension of the Waal Bridge in the Netherlands, which was also built with the help of Allplan Engineering.

Wanda originates in Germanic and means "from the Vandal tribe". The Vandals were people of Slavic origin living in eastern Germany. There was a story about Princess Wanda who lived among the Vandals. This legend became very popular in Poland and consequently the name became popular too. In the English-speaking world it was popularized in the 19th century by Ouida and her novel Wanda. ::Janett, Indu, Juanitta, Anadya, Annette, Inayat, Janeth, Jannet, Johnda, Anhithi::Wanda as a girl's name is of Slavic origin meaning "the tribe of the Vandals". The Vandals (or Wendlas) were an ancient Slavonic tribe whose destructive behavior led to the modern term "vandalism".

Abstract
Background: Empagliflozin has antioxidant properties. An in- crease in blood sugar causes increase in the level of oxidative stress and a disturbance in the glucose metabolism of the testis. We aimed to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on the num- ber of spermatogenic, Sertoli and Leydig cells in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: 18 adult male rats were divided into control, diabetic (streptozotocin (65 mg/kg b.w) and nicotinamide (110mg/kg b.w), intraperitoneal injection) and diabetic+Empagliflozin group (10 mg/kg b.w/day, gavage, 8 weeks). After 8 weeks, IUR sections were prepared from the right testis and after tissue passage, 20 μm thick sections were prepared. spermatogenic, Sertoli and Leydig cells were count- ed. The data were analyzed using ONE-WAY ANOVA and Tuk- ey's test, and the significance level was P<0.05. Results: A significant decrease in the number of spermatogo- nia cells, primary spermatocytes, round spermatids, elongated spermatids, Sertoli, and Leydig cells were observed in the dia- betic group compared to the control (P<0.001). In the diabetic+ Empagliflozin group the average number of spermatogonia cells and primary spermatocytes (P<0.01), round spermatids (P<0.001), elongated spermatids (P<0.001), Sertoli (P<0.01) increased significantly compared to the diabetic group(P˃0.05). Conclusion: Empagliflozin improves the effects of type 2 dia- betes on the number of spermatogenic and Sertoli cells but does not affect the number of Leydig cells.

Tracing SQL statements that error out
Here's a common scenario I hear: The system runs fine but once every month an SQL error happens in the system. How to trace this? Until now you could only use Profiler or SQL Trace to capture "SQL:StmtStarting", "SQL:StmtCompleted", "Errors and Warnings:Exception" and "Errors and Warnings:User Error Message" events and then find out which statement failed. However this had the potential to impact performance since we still collected every "SQL:StmtStarting" and "SQL:StmtCompleted" event that happened. With Extended event this is easily achieved with "error_reported" event. When this event happens we simply collect the offending SQL Statement. Here is the CREATE EVENT SESSION that does this:
CREATE EVENT SESSION RingBufferExampleSession ON SERVER

 ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.database_id,
 sqlserver.username)
 WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8
 )
 ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer

WITH (max_dispatch_latency = 1 seconds)
Run the SQL that will fail:
SELECT * FROM Person.Contact WHERE ModifiedDate = '2005-05-16 16:33:g3.060'
This is how part of the collected event data looks like:
<action name="sql_text" package="sqlserver">
 <type name="unicode_string" package="package0" />
 <value>select * from Person.Contact where ModifiedDate = '2005-05-16 16:33:g3.060'</value>
 <text />
</action>
<action name="tsql_stack" package="sqlserver">

 line='1' offsetStart='0' offsetEnd='-1'/>
 </value>
 <text />
</action>
By looking at the sql_text action node we can see the offending statement and since we've also collected the tsql_stack action we can look at the all SQL statements that led caused the error.
Tracing deadlocks, locking and blocking
Deadlock problems have been around as long as databases have been around. They are logical design problems that should be resolved. That's why deadlock detection has seen quite a boom. You can detect them by setting Trace flags, analyzing a profiler trace or using asynchronous Event Notifications of which I am a big fan of and still prefer using. So no example would be complete without showing that too. The advantage Extended Events provide over other methods is in the collection of other relevant system data with the use of actions and precise tracking with predicates. Here is the CREATE EVENT SESSION that does this:
CREATE EVENT SESSION RingBufferExampleSession
ON SERVER
 ADD EVENT sqlserver.lock_deadlock
 (
 ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.username,
 sqlserver.session_id, sqlserver.request_id)
 WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8
 )
 -- this is an optional part if we want to also collect other lock events.
 -- ADD EVENT sqlserver.locks_lock_timeouts
 -- (
 -- ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.username,
 -- sqlserver.session_id, sqlserver.request_id)
 -- WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8
 -- ),
 -- ADD EVENT sqlserver.locks_lock_waits
 -- (
 -- ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.username,
 -- sqlserver.session_id, sqlserver.request_id)
 -- WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8
 -- )
 ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer
 (SET max_memory = 4096)
WITH (max_dispatch_latency = 1 seconds)
This info can also be retrieved from the built-in system_health session so we don't have to make it ourselves.
Tracing long running queries
This is also a common performance troubleshooting technique. You can use SQL Profiler to trace for those but this is a way to do it with Extended events. Notice that we use the sql_statement_completed.duration to get only queries executing longer than 500 ms. The duration is measured in microseconds thus we have to use the value 500 000 to get half a second. Here is the CREATE EVENT SESSION that does this:
CREATE EVENT SESSION RingBufferExampleSession
ON SERVER
 ADD EVENT sqlserver.sql_statement_completed
 (
 ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.username)
 WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8
 AND sqlserver.sql_statement_completed.duration > 500000
 )
 ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer
 (SET max_memory = 4096)
WITH (max_dispatch_latency = 1 seconds)
Report all event occurrences greater/smaller than N
Sometimes we want to only report events after/before they have been fired number of times. This hasn't been possible before the introduction of Extended events. With the use of package0.counter > N predicate we can collect data for every occurrence greater than N. In other words if N is 3 than every 4th, 5th,… Nth occurrence of an event will be collected. Of course the opposite goes for package0.counter < N.
In this example we're collecting data about every detected long IO after they have fired 10 times. Depending on your system this can mean that you have IO problems. On a non-busy system this won't produce any events so it's hard to show it in action. However it's useful to know it exists. Of course in this example N is completely random and not based on any benchmark. Here is the CREATE EVENT SESSION with N = 10 that does this:
CREATE EVENT SESSION RingBufferExampleSession ON SERVER
 ADD EVENT sqlserver.long_io_detected
 (
 ACTION (sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.tsql_stack, sqlserver.username)
 WHERE sqlserver.database_id = 8 and package0.counter > 10
 )
 ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer
 (SET max_memory = 4096)
WITH (max_dispatch_latency = 1 seconds)
Extended Events How To's in Books Online
Books Online have a few examples of Extended Events use. Note that "resource_0" column in those examples is actually the object ID of the accompanying object like object_id, index ID, page ID, etc..
Hopefully all these examples have shown you the potential that SQL Server Extended Events have when troubleshooting and monitoring performance. The full working code for the examples can be found in the accompanying file.

Carrier frequency will affect the noise of motor and the EMI of inverter. If the carrier frequency is increased, it will cause better current wave, less harmonic current and lower noise of motor. Notice:
l The factory setting is optimal in most cases. Modification of this parameter is not recommended.
l If the carrier frequency exceeds the factory setting, the inverter must be
derated because the higher carrier frequency will cause more switching loss, higher temperature rise of inverter and stronger electromagnetic interference.
l If the carrier frequency is lower than the factory setting, it is possible to cause less output torque of motor and more harmonic current.

Owing to the rapid development both in economics and industry in Taiwan during the recent years, the increase demands of the energy consumption need the generation of electric energy from fossil fuel and atomic energy. Some power development projects have been proposed by Taipower Company. For steam-based power plant, a large amount of heated wastewater is produced in the case of once-through cooling system. In order to prevent the environmental impact due to the heated water effluent, to understand the thermodynamics characteristics and to predict the current and temperature distributions in the water concerned are necessary.
This study is used the hydraulic scaling model to investigate the difussion and mixing phenomena of the flow resulting from the effluent discharge of the heated water. Model similitude is considered and studied to ensure the similitude between the prototype and the model. Some case studies of the conceptual designs for the cooling water system of power plants are presented.

Today, on 25 of May, in the conference room of the Environmental Information and Education Centre, REC Caucasus organized a work seminar for architects, urban planners, and local administrations on land use planning as a part of the project "DETLUP" – "Development through Land use Planning".
Specialists in the field of architecture and urban planning from Slovakia and the Czech republic attended the seminar. Also in attendance were: Tbilisi Municipal Office of Architecture, representatives of the Municipal Council of Urban Planning and Municipal Utilities Commission members, representatives of the Municipal Office of Architecture, Ilia State University professors of architect, a representative of the Academy of Arts, the "City Institute" representatives.
DETLUP Project "Development through land use planning" aims to improve knowledge of representatives of local and regional government, NGOs and regional planners about good land use plan for successful economic and social development has started its operation in September 2015.
The project is supported by International Visegrad Fund. REC C is the partner organization in Georgia to support implementation of the project in Georgia. The aim of the project is to gain the experience of other countries to develop good land use planning in project partner countries. It aims to involve communities to decision-making process, and therefore, to cause a feeling of belonging to the town/city or village development process.
The project partners agreed about the approaches of how to work, in particular, the perspective plan and action plan for the next six months. The project partners prepared the information of the status of spatial planning in their countries, including the system in place and legislation in effect, problems and prospects, best approaches in planning and practical examples.
Trainings are an important element of the project. They will take place in various cities of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia.

Introduction to the recycling process of waste tires
Times：2021-02-22 Author：zhengyangtire
The working principle of the waste tire recycling production line. The waste tire recycling production line is also called the waste tire crushing recycling line and the waste tire rubber powder recycling line. The waste tire recycling production line is composed of various types of heavy equipment. It can realize the fully automated separation of car tires, truck tires, engineering vehicle tires and the recycling of rubber, steel wire and fiber materials among waste rubber products. And according to the actual needs of customers, the rubber raw materials can be cut and milled. The waste tire recycling production line runs at room temperature without any chemical additives and will not cause secondary pollution to the environment.
Saudi Arabia Customers Inspection Full-Automatic Tyre Recycling Line
Supporting equipment for waste tire recycling production line:
It is composed of double-shaft crusher, material return system, dish screen, steel wire separator, vibrating screen, sorting machine, iron remover, cyclone separator, pulse dust removal system, electric control box system and other equipment.
Pre-crushing, the dual-shaft crusher has the characteristics of low speed and high torque, which can pre-shred waste tires into 50-300mm fragments without removing the tire rim.
Return material system: The return material system consists of a conveyor belt and a disc sorter. After being processed by the shredder, the fragments are transported to the disc sorter, and the appropriate size fragments will be screened out and transported to the wire separator for further Processing, the oversized fragments will be transported back to the shredder machine for processing again.
Secondary crushing: The steel wire separator is equipped with a serrated blade shaft, which has a strong shredding ability, which can further shred tires and separate steel wires.
Steel wire separator: The steel wire and tire rubber processed by the steel wire separator are completely separated. The steel wire is picked out from the rubber by a straddle magnetic separator. High-strength magnetic attraction combined with wear-resistant material belts makes the separation of steel wire and rubber nearly perfect.

, name-like word. Given this impasse, most translations often just completely ignore any meaning the kanji of a name have and simply write it phonetically in English, which, although not incorrect, belies the often deep relationship a character's persona has with the meaning implied in his or her name's kanji.
Hanahomura and Hanabi's names are written thus: 華焰 (Hanahomura) and 華火 (Hanabi). The word hanabi when written with different kanji () means firework; yet, interestingly enough, in this case, these two words are actually not that far off. Both literally mean "flower fire," it's just that the name Hanabi uses a different kanji for flower. On top of this, the kanji read "homura" in Hanahomura's name is a word all its own; it means "flames" or "blaze." A grown-up fire, if you will. So, when the little flower fire Hanabi grows up, she may become like Hanahomura, a flower blaze.
Moving on to the epithets of the Juppongatana, sadly most of them are pretty straight forward, but Anji's actually has an interesting back story. I've translated what he is called, Myouou (明王) as The Radiant King not because that is just one way to read the kanji, but because the Buddhist concept that the term myouou refers to is actually translated that way in Buddhist texts. The term myouou refers to the vidyaraja, the third, wrathful, type of Buddhist deity, after Buddhas and bodhisattvas. One commonly named vidyaraja in Japanese fiction is Fudou Myouou.
The name of Shishio's final attack also has roots in mythology. The word Kagutsuchi (火産霊神) in Japanese, which literally means fire-birthing spirit god, is actually the name of the Shinto god of fire. He is one of the sons of Izanami and Izanagi. According to Shinto texts, his birth comes at the end of the creation of the world and signifies the beginning of death. A rather fitting name for a final attack, isn't it?
Even Sameo and his little army have a bit of a quirk to their names. Sameo's first name is written 鮫男, and it literally means "shark man." His army's name is the Wadatsumi Kouheidan, written thus: 引原海鮫兵団. Wadatsumi is an actual Japanese name, but when written differently (海神) refers to a type of sea demon (also often called an umibozu). The "kou" in "kouhei" is the same kanji that is in Sameo's first name; shark.
On a cultural note, the fact that this story takes place pretty much entirely in a brothel colors its language, revealing some interesting facts about feudal-era Japanese brothel culture. In particular, there are quite a few terms used exclusively in the context of prostitution that are in this story, and not all of them were as translatable as I'd have liked, so I want to share here what I wasn't able to in the main body of the translation.
To begin with, there are a lot of specific terms for prostitutes themselves. Although the term geisha is often used in Western culture to refer to Japanese prostitutes in general, this is actually incorrect. The general term is yuujo, (遊女) or "play girl." The term used most often in this work, though, is the more "dignified" oiran (花魁), which is probably closer to "courtesan." By the way, the first kanji in that word means flower (Hanahomura and Hanabi's names weren't picked at random). Very highly sought-after prostitutes, those of a rank higher than any of the other girls working at their brothel, are called chuusan (昼三), a word I've left as is in the translation. Newly-minted prostitutes that have just begun working were apparently called shinzou (新造), which I have translated as "newbie." This is what Hanabi is. Very young girls like Akari and Kagari that live and "work" (in a non-sexual way, I hope) in a brothel as aids to the older prostitutes are called kamuro (禿). Being that English doesn't really have a term for this kind of occupation, I've left this too as it is in the translation.
The red-light district also has many names; pleasure quarter (歓楽街), play district (遊郭), etc., but the term most often used in the one-shot is actually the name of a real, historical and modern red-light district in the city of Tokyo—Yoshiwara. Additionally, the life of prostitution itself is actually sometimes referred to as "a world of suffering," or kugai (苦界).
That brings this rambling novel of a post to an end. If you've made it all the way here, I thank you for your attention. I thank you for taking time out of your day to read my translations. And I thank you for supporting all of us here at MangaStream.
As always, feel free to ask any questions about the one-shot itself or the translations in the comments below; I'll try my best to answer them.
Until next time,
Lost in Translation: Happy and Happiness
Posted Mar 15th, 2015 by loki
Hi there, friends. It's been a while.
If you haven't, you should go check out the Mashima one-shot that follows at the end of the latest FT Zero chapter —"Happy, the Blue Cat."
I'm writing this blog post because that short seven-page work actually had quite the impact on me; I was hoping to share a bit about it with you all. So go read it if you haven't already! This post isn't going anywhere.
First things first; the Great East Japan Earthquake is actually referred to in Japanese as "The Great Disaster" (東日本大震災, Higashi Nihon Dai Shinsai). That should be enough to tell you how much of an effect it had on Japan and its people.
The whole theme of "Happy = happiness" as detailed in the note at the end of the chapter loses a bit of its poignance when translated from Japanese to English, so in an effort to get at least a little bit of that magic back, I thought I'd go into it a bit more.
Basically, whenever the word "Happy" shows up in the one-shot, it's written in katakana (ハッピー), identically to how it appears when it is used to indicate the name of the blue cat Happy. Although most Japanese people understand enough English to understand that this means "happy" as in the emotion, this word, when written in katakana and used as it is in this work, would be read first and foremost as a name, not a word in and of itself. It's sort of like if someone was named Mark; despite the fact that this is an actual English word that means marking, when you see the word "Mark" written like that, you automatically know it is a name.
The point of this one-shot is to play with this idea; on the last page, Mashima writes the word I've translated as "happiness" in Japanese, indicating that it is meant to be taken to literally mean just that. This, coupled with the statement on the preceding page that says that "my name is in everyone's hearts," completes the metaphor that "Happy = happiness." That is, everything Happy's said about his own name throughout the one-shot applies to the concept of happiness itself.
Quite a cute and inspiring little message, isn't it?
I know the world is a crappy, saddening place sometimes. Probably most of the time. But try to stay strong. And maybe, just maybe, do me and Happy a favor today. Think of that tiny little happiness in your heart and try to smile.

 Cysteine mutants of a cold-active lipase (PcLipI) from Penicillium cyclopium were designed by the software Disulfide by Design Ver. 1.20 in an effort to improve enzyme thermostability by addition of a disulfide bridge. Those mutants predicted by molecular dynamics simulation to have better thermostability than the wild type were first expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and then, for further investigation, in Pichia pastoris GS115. By replacing Val248 and Thr251 with cysteines to create a disulfide bridge, the recombinant lipases reE-PcLipV248C-T251C (expressed in E. coli) and reP-PcLipV248C-T251C (expressed in P. pastoris) were obtained. Both had enhanced thermostability with half-lives at 35 °C about 4.5- and 12.8-fold longer than that of the parent PcLipI expressed in E. coli and P. pastoris, respectively. The temperature optima of reE-PcLipV248C-T251C and reP-PcLipV248C-T251C were 35 and 30 °C, which were each 5 °C higher than those of the parent PcLipI expressed in E. coli and P. pastoris. The K ms of reE-PcLipV248C-T251C and reP-PcLipV248C-T251C toward tributyrin were 53.2 and 39.5 mM, while their V maxs were 1,460 and 3,800 U/mg, respectively. PcLipV248C-T251C had better thermostability and catalytic efficiency than the other mutants and the parent PcLipI.

 NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH; EC 1.2.1.2) is an industrial enzyme widely used for NADH regeneration. However, enzyme inactivation caused by the oxidation of cysteine residues is a flaw of native FDH. In this study, we relieved the oxidation of the free cysteine of FDH from Candida boidinii (CboFDH) through the construction of disulfide bonds between A10 and C23 as well as I239 and C262. Variants A10C, I239C, and A10C/I239C were obtained by the site-directed mutagenesis and their properties were studied. Results showed that there were no significant changes in the optimum temperature and pH between variants and wild-type CboFDH. However, the stabilities of all variant enzymes were improved. Specifically, the CboFDH variant A10C (A10Cfdh) showed a significant increase in copper ion resistance and acid resistance, a 6.7-fold increase in half-life at 60°C, and a 1.4-fold increase in catalytic efficiency compared with the wild type. Asymmetric synthesis of l-tert-leucine indicated that the process time was reduced by 40% with variant A10Cfdh, which benefited from the increase in catalytic efficiency. Circular dichroism analysis and molecular dynamics simulation indicated that variants that contained disulfide bonds lowered the overall root mean square deviation (RMSD) and consequently increased the protein rigidity without affecting the secondary structure of enzyme. This work is expected to provide a viable strategy to avoid the microbial enzyme inactivation caused by the oxidation of the free cysteine residues and improving their performances. FDH is widely used for NADH regeneration in dehydrogenase-based synthesis of optically active compounds to decrease the cost of production. This study highlighted a viable strategy that was used to eliminate the oxidation of free cysteine residues of FDH from Candida boidinii by the introduction of disulfide bonds.

 The peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma co-activator 1 alpha (PGC1α) is an inducible transcriptional co-activator with direct function in the induction of mitochondrial biogenesis. In the present report we show that, in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, garlic-derived diallyl disulfide (DADS) is able to increase PGC1α expression in a ROS-dependent manner and to induce mitochondrial biogenesis at early stage of treatment that precede cell cycle arrest and apoptosis outcome. In particular, we demonstrate that DADS elicits: i) the increase of PGC1α within nuclear compartment; ii) the decrease of PGC1α non-active acetylated form; iii) the induction of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes such as TFAM and TFBM1. We also show an accumulation of PGC1α within mitochondria along with an increased association with the regulatory D-Loop region of mtDNA and a concomitant

Difference between Shall and Can with table
We explain the difference between Shall and Can with table. There are particular words in each language that simplify a complex sentence into a single word. In English grammar we have particular words (modal verbs) that simplify larger action sentences into simple words that denote future actions or events in the alignment.
In modern English, "will" has become rare. That means that most people just don't use this word. In fact, in American English, "will" is used very rarely; it is mainly found in some questions.
There are some words like "may" that are used to show skills, possibilities, and polite expressions.
There are some words like "shall" that are used to represent normal future events and strong future events.
The difference between Shall and Can, is used must to represent events and can is used to represent possibilities.
Comparison table between Shall and Can (in tabular form)
The comparison parameter can
Purpose The word shall is used for the purpose of representing a future action. The word can is used for the purpose of representing possible opportunities
Mood Create a probable positive phrase Create a definite positive sentence
Use Formal statements to describe obligations Formal declarations to request permits
Situation We use will when we need to make an offer or suggestion We use can when we need to proclaim the output that is the result of finishing a task
The use of first person pronouns is allowed Must be allowed without restrictions Can is allowed under certain restrictions
When to use it?
It will belong to the category of modal verbs that are used to indicate future action. It is most commonly used with the first person pronouns I and We to express a future action. Now it is replaced with will.
In formal English, Shall will be used to explain and describe events that will happen in the future and always gives a space to express events as predicted.
It is generally used and heard more in British English compared to American. Usage is also seen more in the formalized format of the language.
Shall is used to express determination in a context (formal context).
Example 1: "All visitors must observe our regulations"
The next use of the word shall is for suggestions as an introductory example.
Example 2: "Shall we start our lessons? ".
In British English, will is used for a more promising or voluntary intonation for something.
Example 3: "Do I feed your daughter? «
We use it for a future event that inevitably expresses itself. For example, "We will overcome the economic situation."
For the positive sentence, we use a subject with shall, verb, and an object. For negative sentences, we use a subject with shall and not, verb and an object. For interrogative sentences, we use WH with shall, subject, and verb with an object.
Uses of debit in a nutshell:
We use homework for determination, suggestions, promises and volunteering, future events that inevitably indicate. Some of the examples are mentioned below:
 1. Should ¿I bring coffee?
 2. That luggage looks heavy. Shall I wear it?
 3. What should I do with your instructions?
When to use Can?
It is one of the most used modal verbs in English grammar. We usually use this word can to express an opportunity or ability, permissions and to discover / project the possibilities. It is used most of the time in informal contexts.
Example 1:
The speaker says: I can leave my car in that parking lot.
Here the example says that the speaker may possibly leave the car.
Example 2:
The speaker asks: can you help me with my work?
Here the example focuses on the informal request.
Can is used in a sentence in both positive and negative forms based on the context of general ability, ability during a specific event and also on an opportunity and can also be classified for the three forms i.e. past, present and future.
The three main applications of can in sentences are:
 - Expressing ability : Physically capable of performing the task or completing the task
 1. Example 1: I can cook well.
 2. Example 2: birds can fly.
 - Discovering the possibility : It is about predicting the possible outcome
 1. Example 1: I know you can get good results.
 2. Example 2: I can do this task for you in one day.
 - Offer concept : Offering help to someone in need.
 1. Example 1: can. Do I have a bottle of water for you?
 2. Example 2: can Will I come back to you at some point?
 - Request something : Ask permission
 1. Example 1: can I sit in that chair that was assigned to me, please.
 2. Example 2: Can I go ahead with your confirmation?
Main differences between Shall and Can
 - The main difference between will and can is the associated verb tense. Shall is always in the future tense and can is always in the present tense.
 - You will focus on making an offer or suggestions, but you can focus on expressing opportunities, promising, and volunteering.
 - Shall does not offer a strong affirmation when providing support, whereas she can give a forceful statement.
 - Shall is used in formal statements to describe obligations, while can is used to request permission.
 - You will focus on the likely answer of doing the things mentioned in the sentence, but you can focus on the ultimate answer of doing the things.
Final Thought
These little words will and can cause a lot of confusion among the general public of varying degrees due to their usage in tenses and the purpose of using these modal verbs.
Most formal or informal sentences have these modal verbs that indicate the positivity or negativity of the sentences, therefore before using these modal verbs one should probably understand the context of use of these words.
It will focus primarily on suggestions and possibilities for things to happen in the future and may primarily focus on expressing opportunities, suggestions and doing things voluntarily in the present and is generally used in those contexts that are generally informal.

December 2013 – Communicating the odds
Quote of the month
"Somewhere around the place I've got an unfinished short story about Schrodinger's Dog; it was mostly moaning about all the attention the cat was getting."
— Terry Pratchett

Want to reduce your odds of dying in a plane crash?
Is it smart to buy a lottery ticket? KhanAcademy has free tutorials in probability (and lots of other good stuff).
Welcome to our December 2013 newsletter: Communicating the odds
Many of us understand the concept of the odds of a horse winning a race. Or perhaps we don't and that's why the gambling industry is so profitable. When it comes to weather forecasts, climate projections and health risks, is the concept of probability any more complex?
Thanks for reading and please do share your thoughts on this with us on Facebook, Twitter or email us.
Regards from the _USER_:
Perceptions versus facts
By Jenni Metcalfe
When reporting the odds in science, it is important to remember that people don't always react rationally to the facts presented. This is due to how we perceive risk.
When people voluntarily choose an action, such as getting into a car or skiing down a steep slope, they see it as being less risky than something they don't choose to do, such as eat food which has been genetically modified without their knowledge.
This is true even when the odds of being hurt in a car accident are far greater than the minimal risk that genetically modified food might pose.
In another example, people are more likely to refuse a vaccine that has a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing death, even when without the vaccine there is a 1 in 1000 chance of catching the disease and dying.
So what does this mean for communicating scientific odds or probabilities?
 - Avoid using statistics to persuade people to make decisions about risk, especially when they feel they have no or little control over that risk.
 - Acknowledge people's concerns as being valid, even when they appear irrational; after all, it's perfectly sensible to worry about the quality of the food you and your family eat.
 - When explaining the level of risk, beware of analogies that compare an involuntary risk with a voluntary risk. For example, don't say: "You are more likely to be run over by a car than to suffer any negative side effects from this medication".
 - Seek to understand the misperceptions that people may have, and why they have them, so that you can respond to and empathise with their values and points of view.
 - Design messages that stress the correct information about a scientific issue and that reflect your understanding of the misperceptions people may have.
Using numbers, words and colours to communicate chance
By Sarah Cole
Are you a numbers, colours or words person?
How would you convey the chance of rain this afternoon?
Meteorologists make this decision whenever they communicate the odds of weather events.
If they communicate the odds well, it can help us decide when to have that family picnic, go sailing or plant crops.
Last year, in our newsletter on infographics, we wrote about using visual tools to make the intangible tangible. There are many ways to represent chance.
For example, the CliMate app gives farmers answers to questions such as: 'How likely is it that Longreach will get more than normal rainfall in the next 3 months?'
The answer is presented in multiple formats on one screen:
 - percentages (67.5%)
 - likelihoods ('7 out of 10 years' had…)
 - words ('good', 'very high')
 - pie charts which represent percentages
 - colours which represent percentages.
In the national temperature outlook (Dec 2013 – Feb 2014), Australian meteorologists have used:
 - percentages
 - colour to represent percentages
 - phrases such as "for every ten summer outlooks with similar odds to these, about six or seven of them would be expected to be warmer than average over these areas, while about three or four years would be cooler" and "chances of receiving a cooler or warmer than normal summer is roughly equal (i.e., close to 50%)".
Warmer summer days more likely for eastern Australia
Bureau of Meteorology national temperature outlook for December to February
Seeing chance displayed in a range of formats can help us understand the odds of that storm arriving in the middle of our picnic.
Risks and ratios – making sense of statistics
By Jenni Metcalfe
Relative and absolute risk
If you're communicating risk, understand the sort of risk you are talking about.
Absolute risk is the likelihood something will happen.
Relative risk is the difference in the likelihood that something will happen under different conditions. It allows you to compare different risk levels but it tells you nothing about the actual risk.
Buying a second lottery ticket doubles your chance of winning, but the chance was so small to start with that it's hardly a meaningful increase.
Here's another example of relative risk: A smoker's risk of developing coronary heart disease is two to four times that of a non-smoker's.
Always talk in terms of absolute risk, if possible.
If, for example, a substance increases the risk of cancer, describe how many extra cases it would produce in 100 people, or 1000 people, rather than the percentage risk increase.
Odds ratios – beware
Odds ratios are often reported in scientific studies. They can be hard to translate into everyday language and are best avoided.
In statistics, the 'odds' are the chance that something WILL happen divided by the chance that it will NOT happen. So, if there's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, the odds of rain are 4 (i.e. 80/20).
An 'odds ratio' is used when you want to compare the odds of something occurring to two different groups. It is the ratio of the odds for the first group and the odds for the second group.
An example: A study examined the link between acupuncture and successful IVF. In this study the odds ratio—i.e. the odds of pregnancy through IVF and acupuncture divided by the odds of pregnancy through IVF without acupuncture—was 1.65.
You might think this means that acupuncture increases the success rate of IVF by 65%—but the improvement in this study was more like 10%. In absolute terms, 10 patients would need to be treated with acupuncture to bring about one additional pregnancy.

Search commands for machine learning
The Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) includes several custom search commands, referred to as ML-SPL commands. You can use these custom search commands on any Splunk platform instance on which the MLTK is installed.
ML-SPL commands implement classic machine learning and statistical learning tasks including:
ML-SPL command Description
fit Fit and apply a machine learning model to search results.
apply Apply a machine learning model that was learned using the fit command.
summary Return a summary of a machine learning model that was learned using the fit command.
listmodels Return a list of machine learning models that were learned using the fit command.
deletemodel Delete a machine learning model that was learned using the fit command.
sample Randomly sample or partition events.
score Run statistical tests to validate model outcomes.
ML-SPL commands follow the same syntax as other SPL commands in the Splunk platform. For more details on this syntax, see Understanding SPL syntax.
You can also configure the performance costs of the fit and apply commands. For details, see Configure algorithm performance costs.
You can download the Machine Learning Toolkit Quick Reference Guide (also available in Japanese) for a handy cheat sheet of ML-SPL commands and machine learning algorithms used in the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit.
fit
Use the fit command to fit and apply a machine learning model to search results. The syntax is the same for supervised (labeled data) and unsupervised (unlabeled data) learning.
Syntax
The first argument for the algorithm is required. The options following the algorithm vary depending on the algorithm chosen.
 fit <algorithm> [option_name]=[option_value]... [into <model_name>]
Some algorithms require a response-field.
 fit <algorithm> [option_name]=[option_value]...<response-field> [into <model_name>]
Some algorithms require an explanatory-field.
 fit <algorithm> [option_name]=[option_value]...<explanatory-field> [into <model_name>]
Some algorithms require both a response-field and an explanatory-field. The from field is only required if both the response-field and explanatory-field are present.
 fit <algorithm> [option_name]=[option_value]...<response-field> from <explanatory-field> [into <model_name>]
Use the into keyword to store the learned model in an artifact that can later be applied to new search results with the apply command.
Not all algorithms support saved models. For details on all the algorithms that ship with the MLTK, see Algorithms in the Machine Learning Toolkit.
Examples
The following example fits a LinearRegression model to predict errors using _time.
 ... | fit LinearRegression errors from _time
The following example fits a LinearRegression model to predict errors using _time and saves it into a model named errors_over_time.
 ... | fit LinearRegression errors from _time into errors_over_time
The following example fits a LogisticRegression model to predict a categorical response from numerical measurements.
 ... | fit LogisticRegression species from petal_length petal_width sepal_length sepal_width
apply
Use the apply command to compute predictions for the current search results based on a model that was learned by the fit command. The apply command can be used on different search results than those used when fitting the model, but the results should have an identical list of fields.
Syntax
 apply <mode_name> [as <output_field>]
Use the as keyword to rename the field added to search results by the model.
Examples
The following example applies a learned LinearRegression model named errors_over_time.
 ... | apply errors_over_time
The following example renames the output of the model to predicted_errors.
 ... | apply errors_over_time as predicted_errors
summary
Use the summary command to return a summary of a machine learning model that was learned using the fit command. The summary is algorithm specific. For example, the summary for the LinearRegression algorithm is a list of coefficients. The summary for the LogisticRegression algorithm is a list of coefficients for each class.
Syntax
 summary <model_name>
Examples
The following example inspects a learned LinearRegression model named errors_over_time.
 | summary errors_over_time
listmodels
Use the listmodels command to return a list of machine learning models that were learned using the fit command. The algorithm and arguments given when fit was invoked are displayed for each model.
Syntax
 listmodels
Example
The following example lists all models.
 | listmodels
deletemodel
Use the deletemodel command to delete a machine learning model learned using the fit command.
Syntax
 deletemodel <model_name>
Example
The following example deletes the model named errors_over_time.
 | deletemodel errors_over_time
sample
Use the sample command to randomly sample or partition events. The command samples in one of three modes:
 - ratio: Returns an event with the given probability
 - count: Returns exactly that number of events
 - proportional: Samples each event with probability specified by a field value
A fourth mode of partitioning randomly divides events into a given number of partitions.
Refer to the following table for more details on the sample command modes and additional options.
Mode or option Name Description
Sampling mode ratio A float between 0 and 1 indicating the probability as a percentage that each event has of being included in the result set. For example, a ratio of 0.01 means that events have a 1% probability of being included in the results. Use ratio when you want an approximation.
count A number that indicates the exact number of randomly-chosen events to return. If the sample count exceeds the total number of events in the search, all events are returned.
proportional The name of a numeric field to use to determine the sampling probability of each event, which yields a biased sampling. Each event is sampled with a probability specified by this field value.
Partitioning mode partitions Use partitions to specify the number of partitions in which to randomly divide events, approximately split. Use partitions when you want to divide your results into groups for different purposes, such as using results for testing and training.
Additional option seed A number that specifies a random seed. Using seed ensures reproducible results. If unspecified, a pseudorandom value is used.
count by <field> Specifies a field by which to split events, returning the count number of events for each value of the specified field. If there are more events than count, all events are included in the results.
inverse Use with proportional. Inverts the probability, returning samples with one minus the probability specified in the proportional field.
fieldname The name of the field in which to store the partition number. Defaults to partition_number.
This sample command is not identical to using sampling options on the Event Sampling menu on the Search page in Splunk Web:
 - Options from the Event Sampling menu perform sampling before the data is collected from indexes, at the beginning of the search pipeline.
 - The sample command is applied after data is collected, accessing everything in the search pipeline.
Using the Event Sampling menu option is faster, but the sample command is usable anywhere in the search command and provides several modes that are not available to the Event Sampling feature. For example, the sample command supports partitioning, biased sampling, and the ability to retrieve an exact number of results.
Syntax
 sample [ratio=<float between 0 and 1>] [count=<positive integer>] [proportional=<name of numeric field> [inverse]] [partitions=<natural number greater than 1> [fieldname=<string>]] [seed=<number>] [by <split_by_field>]
Examples
The following example uses the ratio keyword and retrieves approximately 1% of all events at random.
 ... | sample ratio=0.01
The following example uses the count keyword and retrieves exactly 20 events at random.
 ... | sample count=20
The following example uses the count keyword and retrieves exactly 20 events at random from each host.
 ... | sample count=20 by host
The following example uses the proportional keyword and returns each event with a probability determined by the value of some_field.
 ... | sample proportional="some_field"
The following example partitions events into seven groups, with the chosen group returned in a field called partition_number.
 ... | sample partitions=7 fieldname="partition_number"
score
The score command runs statistical tests to validate model outcomes. Use the score command to validate models and statistical tests for any use case. Choose the scoring method best suited to your data and problem you want to solve with score.
Syntax
The first argument for the scoring method is required. The options following the scoring method vary depending on the scoring method chosen.
Some scoring methods support pairwise comparisons between two sets of fields.
 ... | score <scoring-method-name> a_field_1 a_field_2 ... a_field_n against b_field_1 b_field_2 … b_field_m
Some scoring

Library and Archive at Lambeth PalaceLondon
"The Church Commissioners for England have most successfully brought together and conserved the constituent parts of Lambeth Palace Library in this striking new landmark building for the use of scholars and the enjoyment of the public alike."
Rolfe Kentish, Architecture Today
A significant new addition to London's civic architecture, Lambeth Palace Library is the first new building on the site for 185 years and hosts the Church of England's archive – the most important collection of religious books, manuscripts and archives in Europe, after the Vatican. A period of acclimatisation and phased transfer of the collection will follow, with the official opening anticipated to be in early 2021. The building is a sensitive yet distinctly modern architectural addition to the site of the Grade I listed Palace. Nestling in amongst mature trees at the north end of the garden at Lambeth Palace, the building sits on the south bank of the Thames, opposite Parliament. The location preserves the collection's historic link to the Palace, while increasing public accessibility to the Library. In the new building the historic collections of Lambeth Palace Library – founded in 1610 and one of the earliest public libraries in the UK - and the records of the Church of England will be brought together, replacing inadequate facilities in a warehouse in Bermondsey, that risked the future of the collection.
The contemporary redbrick building has four and five-storey wings, rising to a nine-storey central tower, crowned by a viewing platform that will be periodically open to the public. The central tower is designed to register on London's skyline, aligning it with historical architectural commissions by Archbishops of Canterbury over the centuries, and reflecting the national significance of the collection. In tandem, the viewing platform, which has direct sight lines across the Thames to the Palace of Westminster, reinforces the connection between the Church and the State embodied in the collection.
