We examine the driving forces behind farm households' decisions to adapt to climate change, and the impact of adaptation on farm households' food productivity. We estimate a simultaneous equations model with endogenous switching to account for the heterogeneity in the decision to adapt or not, and for unobservable characteristics of farmers and their farm. Access to credit, extension and information are found to be the main drivers behind adaptation. We find that adaptation increases food productivity, and that the farm households that did not adapt would benefit the most from adaptation.

text: Because switched system with nonlinear subsystems shows great difficulties in controller design by conventional methodologies, the fuzzy logic theory, which has been proven to be a practical and effective way to deal with the analysis and synthesis problems for complex nonlinear systems, is applied to design a class of hybrid fuzzy controller for switched discrete-time fuzzy system in this paper. On a basis of one step prediction of switching signal, a hybrid parallel distributed compensation (PDC) control strategy is proposed, which includes two necessary parts: the state feedback controllers for subsystems and the update feedback controllers for switching instants. In both arbitrary and dwell-time switching cases investigated, it is proved that the hybrid PDC controller contains less conservativeness than conventional switched PDC controller. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This article shows how to get detailed logs of the True Image Monitor's activity in Acronis True Image 2018.
True Image Monitor starts automatically with Windows and is responsible for showing icons and notifications in the system tray.
True Image Monitor's executable file, TrueImageMonitor.exe, is located in the following folder:
- Windows 64-bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\TrueImageHome"
- Windows 32-bit: "C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome"
The level of logging is defined in the configuration file TrueImageMonitor.config, lying next to TrueImageMonitor.exe:
- Disable the self-defence feature of Active Protection as explained here. Otherwise, Active Protection will not allow modifying Acronis True Image configuration files.
- Locate the file TrueImageMonitor.config and copy it to the Desktop folder. That is needed because files in the folders Program Files and Program Files (x86) are protected by the operating system and cannot be edited directly there.
- Right-click the copied file in the Desktop folder and select Open with:
- Click More apps:
- Click Notepad and click OK to confirm the selection:
- Configuration file will open in Notepad text editor:
- Replace all the occurrences of level="info" with level="debug":
- Click File -> Save to save the changes and close Notepad window:
Drag and drop the file TrueImageMonitor.config from the Desktop to its original location:
Choose the Replace option when asked:
Click Continue to confirm the operation:
- Reboot the computer for changes to take effect.
In certain cases you could just restart the process TrueImageMonitor.exe instead of doing a full system reboot, but that would exclude the boot chain events logs which may be important in troubleshooting. If you are unsure, do a complete system reboot.
- Reproduce the problem.
- Detailed logs of the True Image Monitor could be found in the folder C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Logs\ti_monitor:
- Turn on Active Protection and the self-defence feature.
- If you are working with Acronis directly, generate a system report and send it to Acronis. The folder with Tray Monitor logs will be included in the report automatically.
- When the detailed logs of True Image Monitor are no longer needed, repeat the steps from this article, replacing level="debug" with level="info" at step 7.


iVolunteer is our school based volunteering project.
vInspired is a nationally recognised organisation.
vInspired for schools – accreditation for all students who are volunteers.
What is it?
Each student has an online account where they log hours spent volunteering towards a vInspired award.
How does it work?
vInspired schools provides an opportunity for all young people who devote any of their own time volunteering for schools and other appropriate community activities to be recognised, whether this is attending a Student Voice meeting, helping to plan an assembly or organising a charity event.
Young people add hours to their online personal volunteering account. They include a referee (the name and contact details of an adult who is in charge of the activity e.g. the name of a teacher and their email address); this referee is used centrally to verify that volunteering has taken place. Volunteering hours build towards vInspired awards. These are v10, v50 and v100 certificates. The numbers are representative of the hours spent volunteering.
Does it extend to volunteering beyond New Mills School?
Yes! Students can log any volunteering that they do. For example, they may be involved with Scouts/ Guides or church organisations, to name a few. If students have a reference to verify the time that they have spent volunteering this can count towards their vInspired award. Older students can add time that they have spent volunteering to help to prepare them for future careers e.g. time spent in hospices, care homes etc. Students who are not currently involved with volunteering outside of NMS can also search for available opportunities through their membership of the scheme e.g. become an online mentor for primary school children.
What about after NMS?
vInspired schools is part of a wider charity called vInspired. This enables young people up to the age of 25 to continue to log their volunteering hours meaning that students can continue to build up a resume of what they have done. vInspired awards are recognised by UCAS and major employers as a way for students to formally quantify the volunteering that they have done.
If you are involved in any of the following activities within school you are eligible to register for vInspired.
 - Anti Bullying Ambassadors
 - Sports Leaders
 - Senior Students
 - Student Council Representatives
Register today or speak to Mrs Davies for more information.
Why Volunteer?
There are loads of benefits to doing something for a good cause. You learn new skills, meet new people, and help your career - all at the same time as doing some good in the world.
Into music? You could volunteer at a music festival and get a free ticket in return. Love sport? There's loads of local sports clubs looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out. What about travelling? Try a different part of the world to expand your horizons. Or maybe you prefer to stay at home? No problem. You can sign up online and make a difference without moving off your sofa.
Wherever you want to go in life, volunteering can help you get there.
Volunteering hours will impress future employers!
73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering experience over one without. 94% of volunteers got their first job or a promotion thanks to the experience.
Volunteering demonstrates transferable skills, which you'll need to get a job or impress at your university interview. By donating your time to others and showing off your vInspired Awards you become a skilled sort of someone that every employer wants on their team.

Dynamic Negotiating
cat February 17th, 2014 by Virtual Keeper
Roles in a dynamic negotiating in social psychology is considered the role is the public personality of each individual, namely the role more or less predictable that it assumes in order to adapt to the society of which it forms part. Roles are role models relative to certain position of the individual in a network of interaction linked to own expectations and others. When a group is switched on they will appear a series of roles in relation to the task. The team members differ in their abilities (intelligence, skills, knowledge and experiences). The composition of the team takes into consideration, especially the complementarity which enriches the team and makes that might be more competitive.
It has into account equally, the demands of the task and the level of internal autonomy that you want for your computer. A good distribution of roles in the team favors: the consciousness of complementarity between the team members. Overcoming internal rivalries in the computer. The participation of all members in the formation of a competitive team. The development of people skills. The motivation of the members of the team.
Each one can play various roles depending on the needs of the team and also, depending on the evolution of individuals. A team role is nothing more than the commitment that takes an individual against his team to be responsible for a specific function of the equipment. Roles created a fit between skills of people and functions of the team each Member of the team has a few roles that sound more familiar (by their personal characteristics and by past experience), the so-called natural roles. But they also have the possibility to learn to assume other roles. Here lies assistance provided equipment to individuals to go to make progress in the development of their skills. Normally, every person has some limits in learning roles and has discarded some behaviors, the so-called avoided roles.

Dr. Gina Cleo is the Director of Habit Change Institute; the company providing comprehensive courses that help you to become a certified Habit Change Practitioner in areas like business, sustainability, wellness, and many more.
Dr. Cleo has provided us with some advice on how to achieve a sense of financial wellbeing with these four easy tips from a research study conducted by Commbank:
- Automate your bills and savings – Set up default systems so you're not depending on your willpower. For example, set up an automatic transfer that scoops money into a savings account every time you get paid. In the same way, set automatic payments for your regular bills. More automation means less brain space required.
- Ensure you always check your balance – Seventy per cent of Millennials say that being on top of their finances makes them feel most accomplished, this includes knowing how much money is in their bank account. Create a habit of checking your bank balance twice a week. Habits are formed best when you do them at the same time of day (e.g., 7pm). To help you get started, use a recurring alarm as a reminder. With time and consistency, checking your bank balance will become an automatic habit.
- Keep a diary/ record your spending – Keeping a diary will help keep you on track and better manage your finances. Using tools such as Bill Sense feature in the CommBank app is really handy, as it helps you to predict upcoming bills, enabling you to stick to your budget and stay on top of your finances without any surprises!
- Keep your focus on consistency – Strike a balance with your savings by putting away realistic amounts of money each week. Trying to save too much and not enjoying life could result in you falling off the wagon and abandoning your financial goals altogether. Start small, there's no need to cut out all of life's pleasures

Indira Gandhi Planetarium organised 'Sun Watching' session at Spring Dale School, Gomti Nagar Premises on 13 th May, 2023. More than 400 students watched the sun through telescopes. The planetarium arranged and installed two telescopes; the Lunt Solar telescope with H- alpha filter and Newtonian reflection telescope with Myler film solar filter for safe sun watching.
The Astronomy Club of India Gandhi Planetarium organized the whole event. They not only conducted huddles with students and made them aware about the sun, sunspots, solar flares, prominence, solar granules but also explained to them the working of telescopes, and the types of telescopes. Students were amazed to see the telescope, which was the first of its kind experience for many. They asked a lot of questions and were responded appropriately by the young astronomers of the Astronomy Club. The smiling and exuberant faces of the students conveyed more than can be put into words. Each of them had a different story to share and carried home with them an engaging experience that they will cherish all through their lives.

VARIETY: Mundo Novo, Catuai, IPR
PROCESS: Natural
TASTING NOTES: Dark Chocolate, Nutty, Molasses
ROAST: Espresso
Flavor Maturation / Peak Flavors
Our roasted coffee beans can take around 3 - 4 weeks of rest for it to degas enough and the flavors to develop. We strongly recommend brewing the coffee during this period to get the best experience of our coffees. Drink within 3 months if you must, but by then we might have released more coffee varieties. So drink fast!
After the roasting process, the coffee beans will possess a high concentration of carbon dioxide gasses within itself as a byproduct of the aforementioned process. These gasses hinder the overall quality of the coffee, as it will aggressively create multiple air pockets during your brew. These air pockets are responsible for creating an uneven extraction; acting as a disruptive barrier between the contact of water and coffee grounds. Furthermore, carbon dioxide when fused with water will give you a sour taste, similar to the carbon dioxide you taste in colas.
The coffee will release some of these gasses naturally, as a process we call degassing. While degassing, the coffee's flavors will also develop. This happens every day until it reaches its peak. The peak of our coffees varies, but we believe the best of flavors are pronounced when it reaches a month old and it will still be great even after 3 months.


For the MIPS insturction Load Word I have got the following Datapath:
enter image description here
How does the datapath for the Instruction Load Upper Immediate looks like?
 - 2
 \$\begingroup\$ Pretty much the same, but with no reading from Memory(data)? The value for LUI is encoded as the lower 16-bits of the 32-bit opcode. \$\endgroup\$ – Majenko Oct 15 '14 at 23:28
I had these pictures sitting around except for the red lines.
The two instructions differ in semantics:
LUI and LW instructions
$t is the destination register, $i is an immediate value.
LUI data path
LW data path
The images are all links to their full size versions.
In a real implementation the muxes to the ALU could likely produce 0 and 1 constants.
And along the bottom of those pipeline diagrams the $t should actually be t, the pointer to the target or destination register.

A simple technique to estimate the far-field hydraulic impacts associated with the deployment of hydrokinetic devices is introduced. The technique involves representing hydrokinetic devices with an enhanced Manning (bottom) roughness coefficient. The enhanced Manning roughness is found to be a function of the Manning roughness, slope, and water depth of the natural channel as well as device efficiency, blockage ratio, and density of device deployment. The technique is developed assuming simple open channel flow geometry. However, once the effective bottom roughness is determined, it can be used to determine the hydraulic impact of arbitrary device configurations and arbitrary flow situations.
- Hydrokinetic (HK) devices can be represented with enhanced Manning roughness.
- The enhanced Manning roughness depends on the channel and HK device properties.
- HK device deployments lead to an increase in water depth and a decrease in flow velocity.
- Impacts to velocity, water surface elevation, and potential sediment transport can be estimated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The authors test the hypothesis that patient readiness to change predicts outcome in a placebo-controlled medication trial. METHOD: Out-patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia completed the Stages of Change (SOC) questionnaire, a measure of readiness to change, before being randomly assigned either sustained release (SR) adinazolam or placebo in a 4 week double-blind trial. RESULTS: In the "intent to treat" analysis, for the 202 subjects who made at least one visit after baseline, adinazolam SR was significantly more effective than placebo on most major outcome measures. Of the 126 subjects who completed the SOC questionnaire, regression analyses showed significant correlations between SOC scores and all 5 outcome measures. In a second analysis, cluster membership based on SOC scores was predictive of outcome on 3 of 5 measures. In each statistical analysis, subjects who were not predisposed to change as measured by the SOC were significantly less likely to change. CONCLUSIONS: Patient readiness to change was strongly correlated with outcome in a placebo-controlled panic disorder trial with an effective medication. In this study, the SOC category, Precontemplation (i.e., those subjects who reported the belief that they had no problem) were less likely to change compared to those who believed that they had a problem.

Introduction - Heart rate variability (HRV) is a clinically important and prominent cardiovascular diseases diagnostic factor. Since HRV is a highly individualised measure, long-term continuous ECG and HRV tracking using a non-invasive armband-based wearable monitoring device is an appealing option for HRV trend-based indicator of general health. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between the bipolar arm-ECG Lead-1 (electrodes axis coplanar to chest and at axilla level) HRV measurements and their corresponding standard measurements from the Lead-I ECG (chest). Advanced ECG denoising techniques are required to enable this.
Methods - An initial clinical-study with 10 subjects selected as having similar upper-arm circumference (28.5cm±2.5%). HRV metrics were measured independently (standalone basis) on the bipolar arm Lead-1, after a novel 2-stage DB4-wavelet-based denoising process supported by a rolling signal-averaged-ECG optimal-thresholding adaptation algorithm, and correlated with same HRV metrics values measured on the standard chest ECG Lead-I, using the conventional Pearson correlation coefficient. Four clinically common HRV time-domain metrics are: SDNN, RR-rms, RR-median and the interquartile-range value of normal-to-normal heartbeat intervals (IQRNN). These HRV metrics were measured on 8-minute-long ECGs. The conventional Pan-Tompkins algorithm was implemented autonomously and independently from standard chest Lead-I and arm-ECG Lead-1 for QRS-detection.
Results - The Pearson correlation between the arm-HRV-metrics measured values and HRV-metrics measured from the standard chest Lead-I results were: p=0.789, p=0.995, p=0.991 and p=0.940, and linear regression model coefficients of determination values (from scatter-plot of arm-Lead-1 versus chest-Lead-I HRV values data-point per-subject) of: R²=0.623, R²=0.991, R²=0.982 and R²=0.884, for SDNN, RR-rms, RR-median and IQRNN respectively, in the 10-subject study.
Conclusion - Arm-ECG (Lead-1) HRV long-term monitoring on a standalone basis is a feasible approach, using conventional Pan-Tompkins QRS-detection algorithms and an advanced wavelet-based denoising processes. RR-rms and RR-median HRV metrics from bipolar arm-ECG closely correlated to the values measured from the standard Lead-I and present potential for clinical use.

Response Time Monitoring - Real vs. Synthetic
Response time monitoring is a very important aspect of application management. In a way, it is nothing new. People have been monitoring response time ever since the days of green screen mainframe terminal applications. The only variable is the technologies involved, both on the application and the tools for monitoring them. When I speak with customers, I something get these questions about the pros and cons of monitoring response times of real user vs. synthetic transactions, also referred as passive vs. active monitoring, and whether one approach should be used over the other. The truth is both approaches are relevant and they complement each other. Here's why. Real user monitoring is obviously important because it measures the actual experience of actual end users. Despite of its appeal, however, it is not a one size fits all solution to measure the performance of an application. First, there can be a lot of noise in the actual end user response time data, which may make it difficult to determine the relative performance of an application over time. Usage pattern can vary a lot at different times, and the performance of transaction requests can vary a lot depending on the data that are processed. Consequently, we may end up with a lot of apple vs. oranges when trying to compare response time measurements. Second, real user monitoring only works only when there are real users on the system. For example, if there is no end user on the system at 2 a.m., data collected from real user monitoring won't tell if the application is working or not. On the other hand, synthetic transactions can be used even when real users are not around. Because the tests are well defined and their executions are controlled, it is also easier to do long term trending analysis to see if application performance has improved or degraded over time. Synthetic transactions do have their own shortcomings, however. First, unless carefully designed, the tests may not be representative of actual end user activities, reducing the usefulness of the measurements. Second, some synthetic transactions are very hard to create and may introduce noise into business data. While it is usually relatively easy to create query-based synthetic transactions, it is much harder to create transactions that create or update data. For example, if synthetic transactions are to test for successful checkouts on an e-commerce website, the tests must be constructed carefully so that the test orders are not mis-categorized as actual orders. As you can see, there are tradeoffs to both approaches, which are complementary. It is not real user vs. synthetic, it should be real user and synthetic.

2016 September: Metrology of the mounted SPIRou Parabola
The SPIRou parabola in its mount was shown to have nominal optical performances
Integrating the SPIRou parabola in its mount implied bonding and mechanical clamping close to the mirror optical surface, potentially able to induce stresses and deformations, and thus to degrade optical performances. Although both mirror and mount were designed to minimize these effects, verification that the mirror optical performance is nominal was required.
To carry out this verification, the LAM (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille) implements a dedicated optical bench based on the infinity focus method. The two clear apertures of the SPIRou mirror were successively measured using an interferometer and a large (400 mm wide) reference folding flat, both before and after mounting, in order to quantify the contribution of the mount to the wavefront error.
After a pre-alignment step, the fine tuning of the fringe pattern on the interferometer revealed a very low amount of form error (in particular a minimization of the main Zernike terms like coma, astigmatism and spherical aberration). The full tests indicated no significant mechanical stress caused by the mount and nominal optical quality of the mounted SPIRou parabola (wavefront error < 60 nm rms) on both clear apertures.
This validation step was performed with the expertise of Johan Floriot, Amandine Caillat and Kjetil Dohlen, from the LAM optical team.

Consider the following guidelines when you define the design.
- The size of the design should be adequate
- The sample size and power should be desirable for a practically important effect size.
- The design should have 2 to 20 components
- To define a mixture experiment in Minitab, you must have at least two components that are continuous. If you do not have at least two components, you don't have a mixture.
- The design can have up to 7 process variables
- Process variables are factors in an experiment that are not part of the mixture but may affect the response. For example, the adhesive properties of a paint may depend on the temperature at which it is applied.
- The run order should be randomized for data collection
- If the worksheet contains a column that contains the run order, you can specify that column when you define the design. Otherwise, you can randomize the design after you define the design with.

You can achieve the requirement of using max() function in the data mapping having XSL transformer: "XALAN".
Following are the high-level steps that need to follow to use max() function in Data mapping:
1. Go to the Add Namespace option, under Namespace in Actions Menu in Data Mapper applet.
2. Now, simply copy the below-mentioned namespace in the text input area and click Ok button to add the namespace to XSL permanently.
' xmlns:math="_URL_ '
3. After adding the namespace, you can use the Max function by writing the below statement in the textual rule ( or wherever you want to use ).
' math:max(XPath of element) '
For example: If you want to find out the maximum age from records then simply write it as, math:max(/Root/Record/Age).
Note: The Max function is used for a node having the data type of number or string. The maximum is the result of converting the string value of the first node in this sorted list to a number using the number function
If the node-set is empty, or if the result of converting the string values of any of the nodes to a number is NaN, then NaN is returned.


has provided UIAutomation API for nearly all of its UI technologies including WPF. For exposing elements for automation, we introduce AutomationPeer for elements. Generally, there is a 1:1 correspondence between a control type and its automation peer. It is the responsibility of control authors to provide automation peer for the controls for automation. We have discussed about AutomationPeer here [<a href="_URL_ about AutomationPeer].

In order to expose the elements defined under the control template, we need to introduce a new AutomationPeer for the new button type. The type inherits from ButtonAutomationPeer defined under System.Windows.Automation.Peers namespace in PresentationFramework assembly. In order to provide the automation peers for its children, an AutomationPeer needs to override GetChildrenCore method. The method returns a list of child automation peers for its children. Now don't go recursive, it just needs to do it for its immediate children.

Just look at how it is finding the expected children from Owner's Template using FrameworkTemplate.FindName() method [<a href="_URL_


which every possible edge occurs independently with probability p. A closely related model, the Erdős–Rényi model denoted G(n,M), assigns equal probability to all graphs with exactly M edges. The latter model can be viewed as a snapshot at a particular time (M) of the random graph process \tilde{G}_n, which is a stochastic process that starts with n vertices and no edges, and at each step adds one new edge chosen uniformly from the set of missing edges.
If instead we start with an infinite set of vertices, and again let every possible edge occur independently with probability p, then we get an object G called an infinite random graph. Except in the trivial cases when p is 0 or 1, such a G almost surely has the following property:
Given any n + m elements a_1,\ldots, a_n,b_1,\ldots, b_m \in V, there is a vertex c\in V that is adjacent to each of a_1,\ldots, a_n and is not adjacent to any of b_1,\ldots, b_m.
It turns out that if the vertex set is countable then there is, up to isomorphism, only a single graph with this property, namely the Rado graph. Thus any countably infinite random graph is almost surely the Rado graph, which for this reason is sometimes called simply the random graph. However, the analogous result is not true for uncountable graphs, of which there are many (nonisomorphic) graphs satisfying the above property.
Another model, which generalizes Gilbert's random graph model, is the random dot-product model. A random dot-product graph associates with each vertex a real vector. The probability of an edge uv between any vertices u and v is some function of the dot product uv of their respective vectors.
The network probability matrix models random graphs through edge probabilities, which represent the probability pi,j that a given edge ei,j exists for a specified time period. This model is extensible to directed and undirected; weighted and unweighted; and static or dynamic graphs.
For M \simeq pn the two most widely used models, G(n,M) and G(n,p), are almost interchangeable[2].
Random regular graphs form a special case, with properties that may differ from random graphs in general.
Properties of random graphs
The theory of random graphs studies typical properties of random graphs, those that hold with high probability for graphs drawn from a particular distribution. For example, we might ask for a given value of n and p what the probability is that G(n,p) is connected. In studying such questions, researchers often concentrate on the asymptotic behavior of random graphs—the values that various probabilities converge to as n grows very large. Percolation theory characterizes the connectedness of random graphs, especially infinitely large ones.
(threshold functions, evolution of G~)
Random graphs are widely used in the probabilistic method, where one tries to prove the existence of graphs with certain properties. The existence of a property on a random graph can often imply, via the famous Szemerédi regularity lemma, the existence of that property on almost all graphs.
Random trees
A random tree is a tree or arborescence that is formed by a stochastic process. Types of random trees include uniform spanning tree, random minimal spanning tree, random binary tree, treap, rapidly-exploring random tree, Brownian tree, and random forest.
Random graphs were first defined by Paul Erdős and Alfréd Rényi in their 1959 paper "On Random Graphs"[3] and independently by Gilbert in his paper "Random graphs"[4].

The term event symmetry refers to invariance principles that have been used in some discrete approaches to quantum gravity where the diffeomorphism invariance of general relativity can be extended to a covariance under any permutation of spacetime events.[1]
The principle of event symmetry
What it means
Since general relativity was discovered by Albert Einstein in 1915 it has been demonstrated by observation and experiment to be an accurate theory of gravitation up to cosmic scales. On small scales the laws of quantum mechanics have likewise been found to describe nature in a way consistent with every experiment performed, so far. To describe the laws of the universe fully a synthesis of general relativity and quantum mechanics must be found. Only then can physicists hope to understand the realms where both gravity and quantum come together. The big bang is one such place.
The task to find such a theory of quantum gravity is one of the major scientific endeavours of our time. Many physicists believe that string theory is the leading candidate, but string theory has so far failed to provide an adequate description of the big bang, and its success is just as incomplete in other ways. That could be because physicists do not really know what the correct underlying principles of string theory are, so they do not have the right formulation that would allow them to answer the important questions. In particular, string theory treats spacetime in quite an old fashioned way even though it indicates that spacetime must be very different at small scales from what we are familiar with.
General relativity by contrast, is a model theory based on a geometric symmetry principle from which its dynamics can be elegantly derived. The symmetry is called general covariance or diffeomorphism invariance. It says that the dynamical equations of the gravitational field and any matter must be unchanged in form under any smooth transformation of spacetime coordinates. To understand what that means you have to think of a region of spacetime as a set of events, each one labelled by unique values of four coordinate values x,y,z, and t. The first three tell us where in space the event happened, while the fourth is time and tells us when it happened. But the choice of coordinates that are used is arbitrary, so the laws of physics should not depend on what the choice is. It follows that if any smooth mathematical function is used to map one coordinate system to any other, the equations of dynamics must transform in such a way that they look the same as they did before. This symmetry principle is a strong constraint on the possible range of equations and can be used to derive the laws of gravity almost uniquely.
The principle of general covariance works on the assumption that spacetime is smooth and continuous. Although this fits in with our normal experience, there are reasons to suspect that it may not be a suitable assumption for quantum gravity. In quantum field theory, continuous fields are replaced with a more complex structure that has a dual particle-wave nature as if they can be both continuous and discrete depending on how you measure them. Research in string theory and several other approaches to quantum gravity suggest that spacetime must also have a dual continuous and discrete nature, but without the power to probe spacetime at sufficient energies it is difficult to measure its properties directly to find out how such a quantised spacetime should work.
This is where event symmetry comes in. In a discrete spacetime treated as a disordered set of events it is natural to extend the symmetry of general covariance to a discrete event symmetry in which any function mapping the set of events to itself replaces the smooth functions used in general relativity. Such a function is also called a permutation, so the principle of event symmetry states that the equations governing the laws of physics must be unchanged when transformed by any permutation of spacetime events.
How it works
It is not immediately obvious how event symmetry could work. It seems to say that taking one part of space time and swapping it with another part a long distance away is a valid physical operation and that the laws of physics have to be written in such a way that this is supported. Clearly this symmetry can only be correct if it is hidden or broken. To get this in perspective consider what the symmetry of general relativity seems to say.
A smooth coordinate transformation or diffeomorphism can stretch and twist spacetime in any way so long as it is not torn. The laws of general relativity are unchanged in form under such a transformation. Yet this does not mean that objects can be stretched or bent without being opposed by a physical force. Likewise, event symmetry does not mean that objects can be torn apart in the way the permutations of spacetime would make us believe. In the case of general relativity the gravitational force acts as a background field that controls the measurement properties of spacetime. In ordinary circumstances the geometry of space is flat and Euclidean and the diffeomorphism invariance of general relativity is hidden thanks to this background field. Only in the extreme proximity of a violent collision of black holes would the flexibility of spacetime become apparent. In a similar way, event symmetry could be hidden by a background field that determines not just the geometry of spacetime, but also its topology.
General relativity is often explained in terms of curved spacetime. We can picture the universe as the curved surface of a membrane like a soap film which changes dynamically in time. The same picture can help us understand how event symmetry would be broken. A soap bubble is made from molecules which interact via forces that depend on the orientations of the molecules and the distance between them. If you wrote down the equations of motion for all the molecules in terms of their positions, velocities and orientations, then those equations would be unchanged in form under any permutation of the molecules (which we will assume to be all the same). This is mathematically analogous to the event symmetry of spacetime events. The equations may be different, and unlike the molecules on the surface of a bubble, the events of spacetime are not embedded in a higher dimensional space, yet the mathematical principle is the same.
Physicists do not presently know if event symmetry is a correct symmetry of nature, but the example of a soap bubble shows that it is a logical possibility. If it can be

An important figure in the early years of science fiction, Olaf Stapledon is known for some of the genre's greatest works, such as Last and First Men and The Star Maker. Both novels imbue philosophy with speculation and look far into humanity's future. A student of history and philosophy, Stapledon's works show us just how big the universe is around us.
Catch up with all the Sci Fi classics with Jules Verne's 'Moonshot.'
William Olaf Stapledon was born May 10, 1886, in Cheshire, England. At an early age, his family relocated to the Port Said in Egypt. Returning to England, he would study at Oxford before trying to work in the family's shipping business. However, he had a hard time with that career, which prompted his turn to teaching, and he would eventually attend the University of Liverpool. There, he earned his doctorate in philosophy and began writing, turning out his first novel, Last and First Men, in 1930.
Last and First Men follows humanity on its evolution into the future, covering the next 2 billion years and charting mankind's ups and downs. To say that it's an epic novel understates the point significantly.
A year after the book's publication in 1931, Stapledon wrote a letter to H.G. Wells, where he noted Wells' influences on his writing: "Your works have certainly influenced me very greatly, perhaps more than I supposed when I was writing my own book…Your later works I greatly admire. There would be something very wrong with me if I did not. They have helped very many of us to see things more clearly."
Well's response to Stapledon has since been lost, but the pair continued to correspond with one another. Wells noted in 1937 that he enjoyed Stapledon's later novel Star Maker: "Essentially, I am more positivist and finite than you are. You are still trying to swallow the Whole years ago," which thrilled Stapledon.
Following the successes of Last and First Men, Stapledon turned to writing full time and he penned a sequel to Last and First Men, titled, Last Men of London, which helps to explain how the first was written. In both novels, Stapledon explains that there is no heroes in the story save for that of humanity as a whole, and that there's no plot other than their struggles. In a biography that he contributed in the 1942 edition of Twentieth Century Authors, he described his writing as "mostly fantastic fiction of a semi-philosophical kind."
His next novel, Odd John was published just a couple of years later in 1935, examining the plight of an advanced man, and touching on utopian and Darwinist themes. Elements of the book may have been inspired by the attitudes of Wells, who took on similar themes in his books. Sirius, about a dog advanced by science, was published in 1944, and his last novel, A Man Divided, was published in 1950.
However, Stapledon's masterpiece would come in 1937 with the novel Star Maker. Encompassing a period of time that renders Last and First Men insignificant at 500 billion years, it continues Stapledon's efforts to create a modern mythos for humanity. In a large way, Stapledon accomplishes something similar to what fellow British author J.R.R. Tolkien strove to accomplish with his novels.
Stapledon's works come just before the beginning of a major movement in the genre with the pulps. The cheap magazines, which contained flashier stories, overtook the earlier stories and their complicated ideas. However, his work was not unrecognized, most notably influencing authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, who would invite Stapledon to speak for a meeting of the fledgling British Interplanetary Society. Clarke would later note in a review for Last and First Men: "No book before or since ever had such an impact on my imagination." Indeed, echoes of Stapledon's works can be found in Clarke's own, such as in Childhood's End, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In a large way, Stapledon's collective works all attempt to capture a major yet simple idea: searching for one's creator and discovering just how one fits into the much larger picture. Taken together, Sirius, Odd John, Last and First Men, The Last Men of London and Star Maker all look to vastly grand scales, microcosms of one another. Where one individual works to come to terms with their existence, so, too, does the entirety of mankind as they advance and expand into the stars.

Prior research has shown that theory of mind (ToM) development is delayed in children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Although research has demonstrated a delay in ToM development in children who are deaf and hard of hearing there are not many suggestions for how ToM is or should be addressed in deaf education. The current research addressed this issue by compiling an extensive literature review and sending 113 surveys' to OPTION schools for the deaf around the country.

OCDP: Ontario Climate Data Portal
The Ontario Climate Data Portal (OCDP) was recently launched to ensure technical or non-technical end-users (e.g. municipalities, private sector) have easy and intuitive access to the latest robust climate data over the Province of Ontario, Canada. The OCDP incorporates the high-resolution (10 km x 10 km) climate projections developed by the LAMPS at the York University using state-of-the-science combined downscaling technique based on a large ensemble of global and regional climate model results released under the latest IPCC AR5. The 209-member ensemble accounted for projections developed by other jurisdictions such as members of NA-CORDEX, PCIC, OURANOS, University of Toronto, York University, and University of Regina. This user-friendly data portal provides both visual representations and data downloading functions of climate scenarios across Ontario using geospatial maps, including both typical and extreme climate change indicators at temporal scales from annual, seasonal, monthly to daily.

A breastplate is a device worn over the torso either to protect the torso from injury, or as an item of religious significance, or as an item of status. A breastplate was sometimes worn by mythological beings as a distinctive item of clothing.
In Judaism, the Breastplate (Hoshen) is a sacred garment worn by the High Priest, woven out of multiple fabrics and set with twelve precious stones representing each of the tribes of Israel. Traditionally, it had a fold containing the Urim and Thummim. The Breastplate is described in some detail in and. It is placed over the Mantle (Me'il).
In modern Judaism, there is a breastplate, usually silver gilt, which is placed over the Torah Scroll when it is placed in the Aron Kodesh (ark). This breastplate is removed when the Torah is read during synagogue services.
Christian tradition, particularly Roman Catholic and Anglican, uses a hymn entitled the "Breastplate of St. Patrick", or "Lorica" (ostensibly written by St. Patrick himself), which is a lyrical prayer to God for protection. It is found in an Old Irish text from the 8th century. The English translation was made by Cecil Frances Alexander and set to the melody "St. Patrick" by Charles Villiers Stanford.
The morse (clasp) on a cope, particularly one worn by a bishop, is said to symbolize the breastplate worn by the High Priest. In the Roman Catholic Church, this was especially true of the morse on the mantum previously worn by the pope.
The breastplate is also of significance in the Latter Day Saint Movement, as one is believed to have been maintained anciently, along with other sacred artifacts, by Book of Mormon prophets (cf Doctrine and Covenants 17:1, and Joseph Smith History 1:35, 42, 52).
The hair-pipe breastplates of 19th-century Plains Indians were made from bones from the West Indian conch, brought to New York docks as ballast and then traded to native Americans of the upper Missouri River. Their popularity spread rapidly after their invention by the Comanche in 1854. They were too fragile and expensive to be considered armor, and were instead a symbol of wealth during the economic depression among Plains Indians after the buffalo were exterminated.

During a 12-month period 80 children >3 months of age seen at an emergency room with acute fevers ≥39.7 C (103.5 F) and no localizing signs of infection were studied using blood and buffy coat cultures to isolate bacteria and viruses. Bacteremia was identified in three children (3.8%): two with Streptococcus pneumoniae and one with Neisseria meningitidis. Two children with viremia were identified: both isolates were ECHO virus, types 11 and 21, respectively. Fifty-eight of the study children (72%) were seen again in 24 to 48 hours and 27/58 (46%) were afebrile and completely well. No differences in sex, age or initial WBC count existed among those children who returned afebrile and well and those with either localized disease or those persistently febrile.

Wade with caution. Wade with care.
Always keep these two rules in mind when wading in any body of water. There are obvious and not so obvious dangers inherent with wading. Following these tips will help you experience a safe and enjoyable trip.
- Use a wading staff to feel the bottom before stepping.
- Never wade alone.
- Always wear waders that fit properly.
- Wear a wading belt to create a seal between your body and the wader.
- In rivers and streams, identify potential dangers down current such as waterfalls, log jams or undertows before entering the water.
- Walk slowly, smoothly and carefully.
- Wear a personal floatation device.
- Be aware of tides, currents and water level changes.
- If you fall, don't panic. Don't fight the current, work with it. Allow the current to drift you downstream as you work your body towards the bank.
- Never continue wading if your waders are full of water.
- Always match for wading shoe soles with the terrain for best traction.

Importing Users into User Pools
You can import users into an Amazon Cognito user pool. The user information is imported from a specially formatted .csv file. The import process sets values for all user attributes except password. Password import is not supported, because security best practices require that passwords are not available as plain text, and we don't support importing hashes. This means that your users must change their passwords the first time they sign in. The creation date for each user is the time when that user was imported into the user pool. (Creation date is not one of the imported attributes.)
The basic steps are:
 1. Create an Amazon CloudWatch Logs role in the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) console.
 2. Create the user import .csv file.
 3. Create and run the user import job.
 4. Upload the user import .csv file.
 5. Start and run the user import job.
 6. Use CloudWatch to check the event log.
 7. Require the imported users to reset their passwords.

Overwintering Mandevilla: This Is How to Care for Laxa, Splendens and Sanderi Varieties in Fall
They are a real eye-catcher in the garden and on the balcony. But how to overwinter Mandevilla Laxa, Splendens and Sanderi and at what temperature do these species have to be kept indoors? Read our tips for overwintering Mandevilla varieties.

Overwintering Mandevilla Laxa
Chilean jasmine is a fragrant plant with white flowers that thrives outdoors in summer.
Is Mandevilla Laxa hardy? Mandevilla Laxa can withstand temporary frosts. It is particularly important that the plant does not get "cold feet" in September. Therefore, the container should be placed on a warm surface and kept on a spot as sunny as possible in early fall. A stone patio is therefore unsuitable. It is better to place the flower pot on wooden or Styrofoam coasters.
At What Temperature to Overwinter?
When temperatures drop below 32F/0C degrees in October, Mandevilla has to go into winter quarters. Choose a room that is as bright as possible, where the temperature does not fall below 40F/5C at night and varies between 40 to 53F/5 to 12C during the day. A heated winter garden or a temperature-controlled greenhouse are best.
Prune Mandevilla Laxa in Fall or Not?
Pruning in fall is only recommended if your Mandevilla Laxa has become too tall for the winter quarters. However, the plant is not cut back severely, but rather brought into proper shape. Only in the exceptional case that the winter quarter is oriented to the north and, accordingly, darker in the fall and winter, you can prune Mandevilla. Otherwise, you can give the plant a maintenance pruning in March.
Caring for Mandevilla Laxa in Fall and Winter
Stop fertilizing in the fall. Water the plant even in the winter quarters – the soil should remain moderately fresh. Water mandevilla only when necessary.
When and How to Overwinter Mandevilla Splendens?
Mandevilla Splendens is an exotic climbing plant that cannot tolerate temperatures below 50F/10C. At temperatures between 32-50F/0-10C it sheds its leaves.
When to Bring Mandevilla Indoors?
It cannot tolerate even short-term frost and will die. Therefore, it should be moved into a heated greenhouse or a south-facing room as early as September, before the first frost. Overwinter Mandevilla Splendens in a bright and warm place – at room temperature.
Prune Mandevilla Splendens or Not?
This Mandevilla variety does not need any pruning in fall. Sick and weak shoots are removed in spring. Strong and healthy branches are not shortened. Pruning could further weaken the plant after winter dormancy and make it more susceptible to disease.
Proper Care in Fall and Winter
Fall is the right time to repot Mandevilla. When doing this, you should avoid putting young plants in large containers. Because this will encourage renewed growth and exhaust the plant just before winter.
Mandevilla is watered less frequently in winter than in summer, about once every two weeks. The plant thrives best in rooms with high humidity. Since this is not always possible in winter, a trick comes to the rescue – spray the leaves with water twice a week so that they stay nice and moist.
Overwintering Mandevilla Sanderi
The Mandevilla Sanderi is a compact climbing plant with hanging shoots. It cannot survive at all even in light frost. Therefore, bring it to the winter quarters as early as September. A bright, sunny room with a temperature between 46-53F/8- 12 C proves to be optimal. If it feels comfortable there, it will keep its foliage. However, if it sheds its leaves, this is an indication that the location is not suitable.

Prune Mandevilla Sanderi
In contrast to the other two species, Mandevilla Sanderi can thrive when pruned. However, this should not be done in fall, but in spring. April is the right time to repot Mandevilla Sanderi.
Care for Mandevilla Sanderi in Fall and Winter
You should stop fertilizing in September. You can fertilize for the first time after pruning in the spring to encourage new growth. It is best to water the plant as needed during the dormant phase. Young plants and small specimens are watered every 8 days, and larger and older ones – every 10 days. Good drainage is an absolute must in winter. This species cannot tolerate waterlogging and is often attacked by fungi if not cared for properly.
Overwintering Mandevilla: The Most Important Things Summarized
The different Mandevilla species have similar requirements for their winter quarters: it should be light and warm. The optimal temperature range can vary depending on the Mandevilla variety, but is usually around 53F/12 C. Fertilizing stops from September and watering is at larger intervals in fall and winter. Pruning is not necessary unless the plant has diseased shoots or does not fit in the winter garden.

A zero-ohm link or zero-ohm resistor is a wire link used to connect traces on a printed circuit board that is packaged in the same format as a resistor. This format allows it to be placed on the circuit board using same automated equipment used to place other resistors instead of requiring a separate machine to install a jumper or other wire. Zero-ohm resistors may be packaged like cylindrical resistors, or like surface-mount resistors.
The resistance is only approximately zero; only a maximum (typically 10–50 mΩ) is specified. Thus, a fractional tolerance (as a percentage of the zero-ohm ideal value) would be infinite and is not specified.
An axial through-hole zero-ohm resistor is generally marked with a single black band, the symbol for 0 in the resistor color code. Surface-mount resistors are generally marked with a single "0" or "000".

Is it possible to assign a reference to "this" in java?
JavaObject Oriented ProgrammingProgramming
The "this" keyword in Java is used as a reference to the current object, within an instance method or a constructor. Using it, you can refer the members of a class such as constructors, variables, and methods.
Assigning reference to "this"
According to the definition "this" is a keyword which acts as a reference to the current object (the object from whose constructor/method you are using it), its value id is fixed. Therefore, you cannot assign a new reference value to it. Moreover, it is just a keyword, not a variable.
Still, if you try to it assign a reference value to "this" it leads to a compilation error.
In the following Java program, the class (ExampleClass) has two private variables name, age and, a parameterized constructor which instantiates these variables. From a method named display, we are trying to assign a new value to "this".
 Live Demo
public class ExampleClass {
 private String name;
 private int age;
 public ExampleClass(String name, int age){ = name;
 this.age = age;
 public void display(){
 this = new ExampleClass("krishna", 23);
Compile-time error
On compiling, this program gives you an error as shown below − error: cannot assign a value to final variable this
 this = new ExampleClass("krishna", 23);
1 error

Get the number of row in database table
By on April 22, 2009
Normally to get the number of row for a particular table, where we will do is as the following query:
select count(*) from Table_name
Yes, you may get your result very fast if your table is very small, but if your table is more then 100k rows, then you may face some delay on that. What the above query do is actually it run the full table scan to get the row count. The scaning can be Logically or Physically. Logically mean that the SQL server only scan from the catch memory, whereas physically scan mean that it really scan through your table.
Actually there is anther alternative way to get the total row count for a table. You can ultilize the sysindexes system table for this purpose.
There is ROWS column in the sysindexes table. This column contains the total row count for each table in your database. So, you can use the following select statement instead of above one:
SELECT rows
FROM sysindexes
WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
There are physical read and logical read operations. A logical read occurs if the page is currently in the cache. If the page is not currently in the cache, a physical read is performed to read the page into the cache. To see how many logical or physical read operations were made, you can use SET STATISTICS IO ON command.
The example:
SET STATISTICS IO ON
GO
SELECT count(*) FROM tbTest
GO
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('tbTest') AND indid < 2
GO
SET STATISTICS IO OFF
GO
Result:
———–
10000
(1 row(s) affected)
Table 'tbTest'. Scan count 1, logical reads 32, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0.
rows
———–
10000
(1 row(s) affected)
Table 'sysindexes'. Scan count 1, logical reads 2, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0.

Mark VIII is a voltage-controlled amplifier with eight stereo inputs a mixed stereo output. It features panning and gain for each channel, a parametric EQ, and analog level meters. Mark VIII is typically used as the amplifier stage for a Polymodular System synthesizer but may also be used as a standalone EQ.
When used in the Polymodular System, the level of Mark VIII's inputs are typically controlled by a Movement envelope. The stereo width can be adjusted with the Spread knob. The level meters and clip light give an indication of amplitude of the output signals.
There are modulation inputs for pan and output level. These inputs provide both CV and audio rate modulation for interesting effects.
Mark VIII is most powerful when used with the other devices in the Polymodular System. Don't miss out on the savings of buying these devices in a bundle. Be sure to check out Polymodular System I if you don't own Distributor, and Polymodular System II if you already own Distributor.


text: Role of biobased fuel production takes a special role at international and European level. Microbial electrochemical systems (MEC– microbial electrolysis cell and MFC – microbial fuel cell) have a great energy production potential in combination with organic waste degradation. Energy efficiency of microbial systems and thus a positive effect to the greenhouse gas mitigation has been stated by many authors. However, due to the novelty of the technology and also availability of experimental MFC and MEC systems only, the environmental assessment of the microbial systems is not widely performed. This paper focuses on a comparative environmental analysis of MECs and MFCs based on life cycle inventory data.

Students help the Hawaiian community
POSTED: Sunday, November 30, 2008
Service learning has nearly become a tradition for Kamehameha Schools Hawaii students. Every year, and beginning as early as middle school, students are required to complete a project with their class that will benefit the Hawaiian community.
The purpose of service learning is to make as much of a positive impact for the community as possible. Therefore, projects are usually done for places in Puna with cultural significance, or where people commonly gather.
"We're helping Hawaiian communities so students are able to see the value of working," said biology teacher Layne Richards. "The benefit is mutual."
Students are involved in service projects that range from beach cleanups to reforestation projects all over the Big Island, and sometimes on neighboring islands.
For KSH eighth-graders an annual service learning project takes them to the island of Molokai for a few days. While there they engage in several different service projects.
In high school, service learning is much more present. Every grade goes on at least one service field trip, so by the time students graduate, they have participated in at least four service learning projects.
For the past three years, the freshmen have gone on two trips, one to Haena and one to Keaukaha. At each site they learn about the site's history and its significance to Hawaiian culture while helping to improve the site.
As sophomores, students learn about different places and community groups that could use their help, and together they organize their own project.
Pohoiki Beach Park has become the traditional place for sophomore service learning. Since many community members frequently go to Pohoiki, students have recognized the importance of keeping the area clean. They spend a day restoring some of the facilities and cleaning the beach.
For juniors, every year is something different. Junior students complete service projects at sites in the district that the year's Hoike will focus on. The Hoike is a mass performance by the student body which includes singing, hula and theater, and it always has a story line that centers around one district of the Big Island.
Last year's Hoike was based on the district of Hamakua, so the juniors took their service project to Waipio Valley, a place that holds great cultural and historical significance to the Hawaiian people.
The juniors hiked down into the valley where they helped clean out taro patches and worked in the river. After spending the entire day working, they hiked back up, which wasn't an easy task, and returned to school.
"I think it's worth it, tying (service learning) into Hoike," kumu Richards said.
This year the district that Hoike is based on is Hilo. The specific site for this year's juniors hasn't been confirmed yet.
Being able to help the Big Island community has endless benefits for students. Each year it gives a new opportunity for them to make meaningful impacts in the Hawaiian community and gather more community service experience for college.
"I feel that I am doing something for a greater cause than just myself, and that's one of the best rewards of this high school," said senior Kaidden Kelly of his experience with service learning.


Potholes
PrintPrint
Potholes?
When a car drives out of the factory, there may be tiny cracks in the pavement that the tires roll over easily. And, the road may go down into a small valley and up the other side, again causing no trouble for the car tires. But, if there is a pothole of the wrong size in the way, the tire may drop in, bending the rim, blowing the tire and getting the car stuck. Going really slowly might allow the car to ease through the pothole without damage, and going really fast might jump the pothole, but a car at the wrong speed in the wrong place can fall into the pothole and get into trouble.

We are all familiar with such situations, in which interactions happen when the size or energy is "right", but otherwise there is almost no interaction. This is very common in the air. The shortwave radiation from the sun does interact with clouds, and the very shortwave (ultraviolet) interacts with ozone (which helps protect us from skin cancer caused by the high-energy radiation), but otherwise most of the light from the sun passes easily through the air. However, the infrared radiation going back up from the Earth does interact with certain gases in the air, which are often called greenhouse gases. Radiation tends to be absorbed if it is at or near those wavelengths with the right energy to make a particular molecule wiggle or spin in a particular way.
A molecule that is wiggling or spinning because it absorbed radiation has extra energy—it is hotter than it was. It usually will quit wiggling or spinning by colliding with a neighboring molecule and passing the extra energy along; occasionally, the extra energy will be sent out as radiation instead. Most of the energy absorbed by molecules in the air was going up from the surface, and if they "re-radiate" the energy it goes in a random direction, which has the effect of reducing the radiation going to space and sending some back to Earth. In the more common case of collisions, even a rare greenhouse gas can heat the atmosphere by repeatedly absorbing energy and then colliding with non-greenhouse molecules.
Without greenhouse gases, the Earth's average surface temperature would be well below freezing —about 18°C or -0.4°F.

Why would you set-up a backup?
In the case that you lose your data you can easily import your backupdata back into Salesforce. To generate backup data, Salesforce offers an automated backup export on a weekly or monthly basis depending on your edition. You can export all your organization's data into a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files.
What to take into account before setting up an automated backup
- Users with the "Weekly Export" permission can view all exported data and all custom objects and fields in the Export Service page. This permission is granted by default only to the System Administrator profile because it enables wide visibility.
- Selecting 'Include images', documents, and attachments' and 'Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions' increases data export processing time.
How to setup an automated backup export
- From Setup, enter Data Export in the Quick Find box, then select Data Export and Schedule Export.
- Select the desired encoding for your export file.
- Select Include images, documents, and attachments and Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions to include these items in your export data.
- Select Replace carriage returns with spaces to have spaces instead of carriage returns or line breaks in your export files. This selection is useful if you plan to use your export files for importing or other integrations.
- If you're scheduling your export, select the frequency (only available for organizations with monthly exports), start and end dates, and time of day for your export.
- Under Exported Data, select the types of data to include in your export. We recommend that you select Include all data if you are not familiar with the terminology used for some of the types of data. Note the following:
- Formula and roll-up summary fields are always excluded from exports.
- If your organization uses divisions, data from all divisions is included in the export.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting accounts, all account fields are included in the account data.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting contacts, person account records are included in the contact data. However, the contact data only includes the fields shared by contacts and person accounts.
- For information on field limitations, see the Salesforce Field Reference Guide.
- Click Start Export or Save.
Salesforce creates a zip archive of CSV files and emails you when it's ready. Exports complete as soon as possible, however we can't guarantee the date and time of completion. Large exports are broken up into multiple files. Follow the link in the email or click Data Export to download the zip file. Zip files are deleted 48 hours after the email is sent. The 48-hour time limit doesn't include weekends, so if your download file is ready on Thursday at 4 p.m., that file isn't deleted until Monday at 4 p.m.
