. Additionally, the totals at the end of the Perth returns note the presence of "14 Indian families," including 41 males and 43 females. The totals of males and females written on the page (not including "Indians"), is 541, the number of persons actually counted in the returns. The census therefore did not include the Native peoples living in the Parish of Perth, a large part of which which had in 1801 been set aside by the Provincial government for members of the Maliseet (Wulustukieg) nation.
Much of the land in Perth was surveyed in 1817 for soldiers who served in the War of 1812. See the page on "Military Settlement Survey" for instructions to the surveyor as well as for a list from 1822 of those soldiers who had been granted land, with links to their places in the 1851 census.
The census taker for Perth, Charles McLauchlan,
turned over the returns on November 8, 1851; the census in Perth was thus probably
conducted over the course of the month of October.
St.Basile. The area in this parish is between
Madawaska and St. Leonard. The census taker, William
D. Kearney, under the column "dwellings", instead of numbering
them listed whether the dwelling was a house or a camp. I have numbered
the dwellings (the numbering is mine, and not in the original) and as you can
see many of them include a number of households. In the "remarks"
column, I have included the information that in the original is under "dwelling."
Kearney turned in the returns around 1 November 1851; he probably enumerated
the inhabitants of St.Basile during the month of October.
St. Francis. The area in this parish seems to be everything west of Madawaska. As with St-Basile, the census taker, William Kearney, under the column "dwellings", instead of numbering them listed whether the dwelling was a house or a camp. I have numbered the dwellings (the numbering is mine, and not in the original) and as you can see many of them include a number of households. In the "remarks" column, I have included the information that in the original is under "dwelling." In addition, the pages as numbered on the microfilm copy seem not to be in the original order of the census taker. For example, stamped page number 3 clearly follows page number 13. I will attempt to reconstruct the original order if possible.
In going through the St. Francis returns from 1851 and comparing them to 1861 and 1871 returns, I've found a number of families who are there in 1851 and 1871 but not in 1861. I am assuming that the 1861 census taker missed those families. Because of this, I have included the location of families who appear in the 1871 census of St. Francis in the annotations (based on Jean-Guy Poitras's book Recensement 1871, Comté de Victoria/1871 Census of Victoria County).
William D. Kearney turned in the returns
of St. Francis on 30 January 1852; the census was thus probably conducted over
the course of the month of January 1852.
St. Leonard. This parish covers the area east of St-Basile down to Andover Parish, in particular the "French Settlement" (now called St.André). As with St.Francis, the census taker, William D. Kearney, under the column "dwellings", instead of numbering them listed whether the dwelling was a house or a camp. I have numbered the dwellings (the numbering is mine, and not in the original) and as you can see many of them include a number of households. In the "remarks" column, I have included the information that in the original is under "dwelling." Kearney swore the accuracy of these returns before the justice of the peace on 12 Sept 1851; he probably enumerated St.Leonard during August and the first half of September.

title: StreamCloud: An elastic and scalable data streaming system creator: Gulisano, Vincenzo Massimiliano creator: Jiménez-Peris, Ricardo creator: Patiño-Martínez, M. creator: Soriente, Claudio creator: Valduriez, Patrick subject: Computer Science description: Many applications in several domains such as telecommunications, network security, large scale sensor networks, require online processing of continuous data lows. They produce very high loads that requires aggregating the processing capacity of many nodes. Current Stream Processing Engines do not scale with the input load due to single-node bottlenecks. Additionally, they are based on static con?gurations that lead to either under or over-provisioning. In this paper, we present StreamCloud, a scalable and elastic stream processing engine for processing large data stream volumes. StreamCloud uses a novel parallelization technique that splits queries into subqueries that are allocated to independent sets of nodes in a way that minimizes the distribution overhead. Its elastic protocols exhibit low intrusiveness, enabling effective adjustment of resources to the incoming load. Elasticity is combined with dynamic load balancing to minimize the computational resources used. The paper presents the system design, implementation and a thorough evaluation of the scalability and elasticity of the fully implemented system. publisher: Facultad de InformÃ¡tica (UPM) rights: _URL_ date: 2012-12 type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article type: Article source: IEEE Transactions on Parallel And Distributed Systems, ISSN _PHONE_, 2012-12, Vol. 23, No. 12 type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: eng relation: _URL_ relation: info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/257475 rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess relation: info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1109/TPDS.2012.24 identifier: _URL_

Appending to a string
If you come from another language, you might be tempted to use the += operator when appending to a string.
my_str = "Marco " my_str += "Polo"
It works… but there is a better way to do it : the << method.
my_str = "Marco " my_str << "Polo"
I have removed my initial claim about operator precedence as it isn't really accurate. There is a much better reason to use << instead of += when appending to a string... something I didn't even realize (Thanks to Gregory). += will create a new String instance and will assign it to your left object. On the other hand, << will append the new string directly into your already existing left object. One could argue that += is only different than << and not better, but to me << is what you'll want to use 99% of the time (if not 100%) when appending to a String. I have yet to see a real case where one would want to "lose" it's existing String instance just to get a new one containing the exact same value.
You can also use the << method with arrays :
[1,2,3] << 4 _TAG_ [1,2,3,4]
Be careful however when using << with Fixnum/Bignum instances. With these objects, the << method will shift the bits of your integer to the left. If you want to do a summation (append style that is), you will have to use +=

When you think of common targets for thieves, beehives probably don't rank high on the list. That didn't stop someone from nabbing almost 100 beehives from a California orchard, causing tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue for the owner and leaving local law enforcement scratching their heads.
As KCRA reports, the hives belonged to beekeeper Mike Potts, owner of Pottsy's Pollination, a company headquartered in Oregon. Orchard operators hire beekeepers like Potts to provide bees that pollinate their plants, ensuring good yields and keeping the plants healthy. Unfortunately, someone decided that the bees would be better off elsewhere, and yanked the beehives from the pallets they were resting on around the orchard located near Yuba City.
The bees, which were being used to pollinate an almond orchard, represent roughly one-third of the Pottsy's Pollination operation. Speaking with KCRA, Potts said that the theft will likely set him back around $44,000 in lost revenue, but the top priority right now is finding the bees.
"I would like to catch them, and I think a lot of the beekeepers out here, they're looking for them too," Potts told KCRA. "This affects the farmer, too, because there's going to be a shortage of bees. Luckily, I have enough to cover what I did, or what we lost. But it affects the farmer, and it affects the farmers all the way in Oregon and Washington because of the loss of the bees."
The obvious question here is how someone could make away with a bunch of beehives without being noticed. Potts believes the thief would have needed something like a flatbed truck in order to pull it off, and that the stolen items would be easily identified. Local law enforcement is investigating the theft.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) is an enterprise-wide information system built around an electronic health record, used throughout the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical system, known as the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans Health Administration By 2001, the VHA was the largest single medical system in the United States, providing care to 4 million veterans, employing 180,000 medical personnel and operating 163 hospitals, over 800 clinics and 135 nursing homes. Department of Veterans Affairs: List of Medical facilities By providing electronic health records capability, VistA is thereby one of the most widely used EHRs in the world.
Features The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has had automated data processing systems within its medical facilities since before 1985, beginning with the Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP) information system, including extensive clinical and administrative capabilities. In 1995, DHCP was enshrined as a recipient of the Computerworld Smithsonian Award for best use of Information Technology in Medicine.VistA supports both ambulatory and inpatient care, and includes several significant enhancements to the original DHCP system. The most significant is a graphical user interface known as the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) for clinicians released in 1997. In addition, VistA now includes computerized order entry, bar code medication administration, electronic prescribing and clinical guidelines.CPRS provides a client-server interface for health care providers to review and update a patient's electronic medical record. This includes the ability to place orders, including medications, special procedures, x-rays, patient care nursing orders, diets, and laboratory tests. CPRS is flexible enough to be implemented in a wide variety of settings for a broad spectrum of health care workers and provides a consistent, event-driven, Windows-style interface. For its development of VistA, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) / Veterans Health Administration (VHA) was named the recipient of the prestigious Innovations in American Government Award presented by the Ash Institute of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in July, 2006.The adoption of VistA has allowed the VA to achieve a pharmacy prescription accuracy rate of 99.997%, and the VA outperforms most public sector hospitals on a variety of criteria, enabled by the implementation of VistA.The VistA system is public domain software, available through the Freedom Of Information Act directly from the VA website,Department of Veterans Affairs: VistA website or through a growing network of distributors. The VistA Software Alliance is a non-profit trade organization that both promotes the widespread adoption of versions of VistA for provider environments.VistA Software Alliance: websiteVistA was developed using the M or MUMPS language/database. The VA currently runs a majority of VistA systems on InterSystems Caché. VistA can also run on GT.M, an open source database engine for Linux and Unix computers. Although initially separate releases, publicly available VistA distributions are now often bundled with the database in an integrated package. This has considerably eased installation.
VistA Imaging The Veterans Administration has also developed VistA Imaging, a coordinated system for communicating with PACS (radiology imaging) systems and for integrating others types of image-based information, such as EKGs, pathology slides, and scanned documents, into the VistA electronic medical records system. This type of integration of information into a medical record is critical to efficient utilization.VistA Imaging has been made freely available in the public domain for private/public hospital use through the Freedom of Information Act. It is available through the [_URL_ Department of Veteran's Affairs software request] office.It can be used independently or integrated into the VistA electronic health record system (as is done in VA health facilities).
Role in development of a national healthcare network The VistA electronic healthcare record has been widely credited for reforming the VA healthcare system, improving safety and efficiency substantially. The remarkable results have spurred a national impetus to adopt electronic medical records similar to VistA nationwide.VistA Web collectively describes a set of protocols that in 2007 was being developed and used by the VHA to transfer data (from VistA) between hospitals and clinics within the pilot project. This is the first effort to view a single patient record so that VistA becomes truly interoperable among the 128 sites running VistA today. BHIE enables real-time sharing of electronic health information between DoD and VA for shared patients of allergy, outpatient pharmacy, demographic, laboratory, and radiology data. This became a priority during the Second Iraq War, when a concern for the transition of healthcare for soldiers as they transferred from active military status to veteran status became a national focus of attention.Clinical Data Repository/ Health Data Repository or CHDR supports interoperability between DoD's Clinical Data Repository (CDR) & VA's Health Data Repository (HDR). Represents the development of interoperability between the DoD Clinical Data Repository (CDR) and Health VA Data Repository (HDR). It leverages DoD AHLTA experiences and lessons learned and provides the cornerstone for interoperability between electronic health records for DoD and VA
The first phase will include bidirectional real time exchange of computable pharmacy, allergy, demographic and laboratory data. In Phase 2 additional Drug – Drug interaction checking and Drug – Drug Allergy interaction checking will be added.
As of March 2007, Completed deployment at El Paso, Augusta, Pensacola, Puget Sound, Chicago, San Diego, and Las Vegas.
The combination of VistA and the interoperable projects listed above in the VA/DoD systems will continue to expand to meet the objectives of President Bush's statements that all citizens will have an electronic record by 2014.The VHA has also started a pilot project, known as HealtheVet (HeV) that is the next generation of VistA. Preliminary plans have begun for the vision of HeV that evolve around moving away from the MUMPS and Delphi coding and towards more state of the art programming languages and enhanced functionality. MyHealtheVet is another initiative that allows veterans to access, and create a copy of, their health records online. A national release of the project is underway. This will allow veterans to port their health records to institutions outside the VA health system or keep a personal copy of their health records, a Personal Health Record (PHR).Because of the success of these programs, a national move to standardize healthcare data transmission across the country was started. Text based information exchange is standardized using a protocol called HL7 (Health Level 7), which is approved by the American National Standards Institute. DICOM is an international image communications protocol standard. VistA is compliant with both.VistA has been interfaced with commercial off-the-shelf products. Standards and protocols used by VA are consistent with current industry standards and includine: HL7, DICOM, and other protocols.
Usage in non-governmental hospitals Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the VistA system, the CPRS interface (a CPOE), and unlimited ongoing updates (500-600 patches per year) are provided as public domain (but not free and open source) software.This was done by the US government in an effort to make VistA available as a low cost electronic medical record system (EMR / EHR) for non-governmental hospitals and other healthcare entities.With funding from The Pacific Telehealth & Technology Hui, the Hui 7 produced a version of VistA that ran on GT.M in a Linux operating system, and that was suitable for use in private settings. VistA has since been adopted by companies such as Blue Cliff, DSS, Inc., Medsphere, and Sequence Managers Software to a variety of environments, from individual practices to clinics to hospitals, to regional healthcare co-ordination between far-flung islands. In addition, VistA has been adopted within similar provider environments worldwide. Universities, such as UC Davis and Texas Tech implemented these systems. A non-profit organization, WorldVistA, has also been established to extend and collaboratively improve the VistA electronic health record and health information system for use outside of its original setting.VistA as other EMR/EHR systems can be interfaced with other healthcare databases not initially used by the VA system, including billing software, lab databases, and images databases (radiology, for example).
Supporters of VistA
There have been many champions of VistA as the electronic healthcare record system for a universal healthcare plan. VistA can act as a standalone system, allowing self-contained management and retention of healthcare data within an institution. Combined with BHIE (or other data exchange protocol) is can be part of a peer-to-peer model of universal healthcare. It is also scalable to be used as a centralized system (allowing regional or even national centralization of healthcare records). It is, therefore, the electronic records system most adapatable to a variety of healthcare models.In addition to the unwavering support of congressional representatives such as Congressman Sonny Montgomery of Mississippi, numerous IT specialists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals have donated significant amounts of time in adapting the VistA system for use in non-governmental healthcare settings.The ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee's Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida, recommended that the Department of Defense (DOD) adopt VA's VistA system following accusations of inefficiencies in the DOD healthcare system. The DOD hospitals use Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA

I have the following table for storing user data:
TABLE: users
maritalStatus (INT) - FK
gender (CHAR)
occupation (INT) - FK
Now I want to compare two users in this table to see how many columns match for any two given users (say user X & user Y)
I am doing it via mySQL Stored Procedures by getting each value separately and then comparing them
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = X INTO myVar1;
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = Y INTO myVar2;
 IF myVar1 = myVar2 THEN
 END IF;
Is there a shorter way using an SQL query where I can compare two rows in a table and see which columns are different? I dont need to know how much different they actually are, just need to know if they contain the same value. Also I will only be comparing selected columns, not every column in the user table.

This will select the number of columns that are not the same for user x and user y:
SELECT ( u1.martialStatus <> u2.martialStatus )
 + ( u1.gender <> u2.gender )
 + ( u1.occupation <> u2.occupation )
 users u1,
 users u2
WHERE u1.id = x
 AND u2.id = y

You can also use this:

 a.lastname as a_lastname,
 a.firstname as a_firstname,
 a.age as a_age,
 'x' as x,
 b.lastname as b_lastname,

You can count the number of users with the same columns using group by:
select u1.maritalStatus
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation
, count(*)
from users u1
group by
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation

Thanks for your response - however I need a query that specifically compares two given users. Your query simply lists the no. of users with a specific value. I would need to also specify which users I am comparing with a WHERE clause (e.g. WHERE userid = 87 AND userid = 88) - hope thats clear. – Sydney Boy May 8 '12 at 7:06
Well basicly the relevant row would give the value 2 if both users have the same maritalStatus, gender, occupation. You could add a WHERE u1.user_id IN (id1, id2) and see if there's one row with the value 2 returned. – Robin Castlin May 8 '12 at 7:07
_USER_: I think Peter Lang's answer might be what you're looking for? – Andomar May 8 '12 at 7:09
Just a continued example of Peter Langs suggestion in PHP:
$arr_cols = array('martialStatus', 'gender', 'occupation');
$arr_where = array();
$arr_select = array();
foreach($arr_cols as $h) {
 $arr_having[] = "compare_{$h}";
 $arr_select[] = "(u1.{$h}!= u2.{$h}) AS compare_{$h}";
$str_having = implode(' + ', $arr_where);
$str_select = implode(', ', $arr_where);
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT {$str_select}

HAVING {$str_having} > 0
/* Having case can be removed if you need the row regardless. */
/* Afterwards you check these values: */

How do I view the outgoing mail in the mail queue in Exchange 2000 Small Business?
Answer Wiki
Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.
If you are trying to troubleshoot mail flow do the following:
You can use Diagnostic Logging to determine the root of a transport issue. To enable Diagnostic Logging on the MSExchangeTransport service, follow these steps:
1. Start Exchange System Manager.
2. Navigate to the server object.
3. Right-click Server object, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Diagnostic Logging tab.
5. Under Categories, click MSExchangeTransport.
6. Under Logging Level, click the appropriate logging level for the issue you are investigating (minimum, medium, or maximum).
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE TO MINIMUM WHEN YOU HAVE DONE AS CREATES HEAPS OF LOGS.
Queue Viewer
You can use the Queue Viewer tool to maintain and administer your organization's messaging queues. It can help you identify and isolate mail flow issues. Queue Viewer is available on all Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual servers, Microsoft Message Transfer Agent (X.400), and all installed Microsoft Exchange connectors.
Exchange 2000
To access the queues, follow these steps:
1. Start Exchange System Manager.
2. Use the following path to locate the queue you want to administer:
Administrative Groups\Admin Group Name\Servers\ServerName\Protocols\SMTP\SMTP virtual server\Queues\Queue
When you select the Queues container, you'll see a list of the currently existing queues and the number of messages within each queue. If this is the first time you've ever looked at the queues, you might be in for a shock. You'll probably have several queues related to spam,
When a message is destined for a remote domain, Exchange 2000 creates a temporary queue for it. Other messages destined for the same domain are also placed into this temporary queue. This allows Exchange to send multiple messages destined for a common domain in batches rather than having to establish a separate session for every single message.
Normally, these temporary queues are deleted as fast as they are created. However, if Exchange is unable to find a route to the destination domain, the queue is preserved and Exchange attempts to resend the messages later. If the messages have not been sent within a specific amount of time, the queue and the messages within it are removed. In Figure A, none of my temporary queues are more than two days old. Also, each queue has either a green check mark icon or a Retry icon to indicate the queue's status.
Some standard troubleshooting steps for tracking down mail failures
1. Determine where the message is stuck. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Track the message if it just seems to disappear. See whether it is stuck in the categorizer, the message transfer agent (MTA), the Internet Mail Service, the Badmail folder, or elsewhere.
b. Examine the non-delivery report (NDR) for error codes and to see which server and which component is generating the NDR.
2. Examine the server that is mentioned in the NDRs, and make sure that all the services are running. In Exchange System Manager, click Tools, and then click Monitoring and Status to review the status.
3. See which event IDs are in the application event log.
4. Increase diagnostic logging to MAX for the transport components.
5. Examine the error codes in the NDR.
Note These errors may give you the solutions, such as checking the Domain Name Service (DNS) or network connectivity.

Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses have been made of natural quartz samples ranging in age from 100 ka to 1.4 Ga. Signal intensities of two ESR centers that can be associated with Schottky-Frenkel (SF) defects are significantly correlated with age. These defects are thought to accumulate naturally as a result of elastic collisions in the quartz lattice initiated by the recoil of alpha-emitting nuclides present as impurities. Preliminary indications are that recoil-induced SF defects can be significantly more abundant than original SF defects in samples older than several million years. These considerations provide the theoretical basis for a long-ranging quartz geochronometer.

Just one in 10 elementary kids walks or bikes to school, a drastic drop from three decades ago when some 60 percent of students relied on the heel-toe express to beat the morning bell.
Some local schools are trying to change that. On Oct. 5, the sixth annual International Walk and Bike to School Day, millions of students from around the globe, including the Chicago area, will use their feet and pedals—rather than mom or dad's minivan—to get to class.
It's all an effort to encourage kids to be physically active, and to remind communities that their streets need to be safe for kids, say local representatives for Safe Routes to School, an international movement that promotes walking and biking to school.
"It is just one day, but our hope is that it kicks off a larger desire to make [walking and biking to school] a routine part of kids' lives," says Melody Geraci, of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation (_URL_), which heads up Safe Routes to School initiatives in the suburbs.
During the rest of the year, Safe Routes also helps schools teach bike safety, says Beth Gutelius, of Mayor Daley's Safe Routes Ambassadors, which works with Chicago schools.
For some kids, the message is getting through.
"I feel good when I ride my bike to school," says Eddy Jakovec, 12, a sixth-grader at John B. Murphy School in Chicago.
Schools must coordinate and raise money for events encouraging kids to walk and bike to school, but Safe Routes can help. Visit either _URL_ or _URL_ for information.
And while it's work, volunteers say it's worth it. Hinsdale mom Maryann Romanelli organized Community Consolidated School District 181's first Walk and Bike to School Day in 2000, hoping to encourage officials to improve area roads, sidewalks and signs.
Volunteers led clusters of kids to the district's seven elementary schools. The school buses were still running, but they were empty, she says.
On that walk, says Romanelli, one official tripped on a rough patch of sidewalk—a move she couldn't have orchestrated if she tried. Five years later, she still leads the district's walk and bike to school festivities—and says Hinsdale has increased its budget to improve the infrastructure around schools.
If your kids are walking or biking to school, remember to be safe, says Gutelius. Kids under 8 should walk with an adult. Look left, right, then left again before crossing the street. Leave iPods and other earphone gadgets at home to hear approaching cars and pedestrians. In neighborhoods without sidewalks, walk in the street against traffic. However, always ride a bike in the direction of traffic and obey the rules of the road, such as stopping at stop signs and signaling turns. Find more safety tips at _URL_

Cut vegetables sales doubled in Japan
A broad selection of precut products is on display in the vegetable section of the Aeon Style Makuhari Shintoshin store in Chiba, including vegetables for ramen, yakisoba, curry, stew and yakiniku grilled meat.
The vegetables in the bags are cut into different shapes to suit the intended dish.
"We have increased the variety of products after hearing from consumers," said Hideo Muroi, who is in charge of development at Aeon Retail Co. The company offers more than 40 kinds of cut vegetables for cooking.
On average, about 15 types are on sale at each store, with the variety depending on the store.
The company's sales of cut vegetables started increasing in around 2010, when unsettled weather led to a rise in vegetable prices and consumers were attracted to cut vegetables because their prices were more stable. Before that, cut vegetables were popular mainly among young or single people.
But as elderly consumers and families began to buy cut vegetables, sales doubled in the four years from 2011 to 2015.
Health consciousness has also played a role in the growing popularity of cut vegetables.
Salad Club, a company producing and selling cut vegetables for use in salads, conducted a nationwide survey last year covering about 2,000 people aged 20 to 69.
Sixty-three percent of respondents said they did not buy enough vegetables, citing such reasons as "high prices" (41 percent), "difficulty in consuming purchased vegetables" (27 percent), and "too bulky to store" (20 percent). ■

In order to educate and nurture prospects through the buyer's journey, your content needs to somehow get in front of them. Organic search can provide a great opportunity for you to reach audiences who are searching for information relevant to your company.
But, search listing results pages are getting more and more competitive, making it hard to be found online. It turns out there's an effective solution: a topic cluster strategy, which can be simplified by HubSpot's topic cluster tool.
What is a Topic Cluster?
A topic cluster is an organic search tactic in which multiple pieces of content around the same topic are linked and grouped together in order to help your website increase topical authority and rank for relevant keywords.
Topic clusters consist of a primary keyword known as the "core topic" and then various related more specific keywords referred to as "subtopics."
The core topic is represented on your website through a pillar page. A pillar page is a long-form piece of content that aggregates all the topics included in your topic cluster and links out to all of the supporting subtopic content. The inclusion of a pillar page is what differentiates a topic cluster strategy from just internal linking.
How to Use HubSpot's Topic Cluster Tool
HubSpot's topic cluster tool allows you to identify and analyze potential core topics by providing information like monthly search volume and difficulty. Once you decide to move forward with a core topic, the tool will help you visualize how your topic cluster is implemented on your website through a bubble map.
Your core topic and respective pillar page will be in the center of your bubble map — spanning from it are all of the related keywords you have (or plan to have) support content. The tool will help you:
- Monitor the search volume of all keywords included in your strategy
- See what queries are leading visitors to your pillar page and subtopic content
- Ensure all your topic cluster assets are linked together
However, when using HubSpot's topic cluster tool, it is important to keep in mind that it's just a tool. It's more of an organizational assistant than it is like a tactical implementor. Your strategy is what actually makes topic clusters beneficial for SEO.
So in addition to using the topic cluster tool to envision your efforts and report on their performance, you should also be employing tactics like editorial calendars, SEO copywriting and internal linking.
Your core topics should be central to your business and your service operations. For example, a core topic for us at New Breed is "What is Demand Generation?"
Additionally, the core topics you choose should be top of the funnel because you're targeting people who want to learn about that topic. You wouldn't want to use something like "demand generation services."
You also want to ensure that your core topic has enough search volume to justify the investment into creating a topic cluster around it. We recommend a minimum of 400 searches per month, but you also want to make sure the search volume isn't so high that you couldn't realistically rank for it.
Once you've selected your core topic, the next step is to explore related terms to use as subtopics. For "What is demand generation?", subtopics could include "demand generation best practices," "how to implement a demand generation strategy" and "demand generation tactics." These subtopics don't all need to include the core topic keyword either. "Full-funnel marketing and sales strategies" and "data-driven marketing" could also be subtopics.
HubSpot's topic cluster tool can help you refine your subtopic keywords once you have an initial idea of what you want to use. As you go to add a subtopic keyword to your cluster, it'll show you the search volume for that keyword and provide a list of related keywords you could use instead.
Your topic cluster should have a minimum of six subtopics to start but eight to 10 is the ideal range. If you find that you need many more subtopics than that to cover the core topic fully, it might be worth splitting it up. For example, "What is inbound marketing?" and "Inbound marketing best practices" could both be their own pillar pages with 10 or more subtopics.
Create and publish content
Prior to launching a topic cluster within the HubSpot tool, you should have the majority of the content already prepared.
Create an editorial calendar to guide the creation of your pillar page and subtopic blog posts. Research, write and optimize all the content, then publish it and link everything in the tool.
The HubSpot topic cluster tool will help you ensure you created content to address every planned subtopic and placed hyperlinks within the copy for all posts. Plus if you want to expand your topic cluster further, it can help you see what you haven't covered yet and if you have relevant existing content on your website that could be optimized and linked to the pillar page.
Report on content and SEO
The goal of a topic cluster strategy is to increase your ability to rank for the core topic. So, an increase in sessions will be one of the most important metrics for you to monitor.
Additionally, you'll want to keep an eye on session-to-contact conversion rate, but since this is a top-of-the-funnel strategy, organic sessions and new users will be more important KPIs initially. You shouldn't necessarily expect a lot of on-page conversions.
Another important metric to track is average time on page because it's a user experience metric that is a big indicator to search algorithms about the value your content is providing.
A topic cluster strategy helps you efficiently create topical authority for organic search. Content is still king; you need well-written valuable content to see success from this strategy. But once you have that, a topic cluster can help you harness its full potential and ensure it's locatable for search engines and readers.
HubSpot's topic cluster tool enables you to more easily manage and monitor your topic cluster strategy. It'll not just help you ensure your strategy is implemented correctly initially, it'll also help you monitor and expand your topic clusters over time so you can create content that provides the most value for your audience and your business.

Keywords:rainfall-runoff, water level fluctuation, landform change, intervel shooting camera, upper Azusa River, Kamikochi
The upper reaches of the River Azusa in central Japan is a gravel-bed braided river flowing down the Northern Japan Alps. In this reaches landforms of the riverbed change yearly or once a couple of years. This study aims to clarify the relationships between rainfall, water level fluctuation and landform changes. The observation using interval shooting cameras has carried out since July, 2011. These have taken the images of the riverbed and recorded the conditions in every 15 or 20 minutes. The results are as follows. Despite relatively large drainage basin rainfall-runoff response is quite fast. About 30 minutes after the start of a rainfall the water level began to rise. The amount of the water level rise to the rainfall was different when the rainfall event occurred. During the Baiu rainy season the relatively less rainfall caused larger water level rise than after the end of the Baiu. Only one major landform change event was recorded during the observation. It occurred on 19 June, 2013. The heavy rain recorded 166 mm of the daily rainfall caused bankfull discharge, which was about 1 meter water level rise. These relationships between rainfall, water level rise and landform changes was caused by the geomorphological characteristics of the Kamikochi valley, which has thick gravel deposits more than several tens of meters and their water storage characteristics.

Nonlinear sea waves generated by the wind, including freak waves, are considered to be phenomena that can be modelled using the nonlinear (cubic) Schrodinger equation, for example. However, there is a problem with this approach which is that sea surface waves, driven by wind speeds of varying strength, must be considered to be composed of two distinct types, namely, linear waves and nonlinear waves. In this paper, we consider a different approach to modelling 'nonlinear' waves that is based on a solution to the linear wave equation under a low-gradient, phase-only condition. This approach is entirely compatible with the fluid equations of motion (the Navier-Stokes equations) and is thereby not based on a phenomenological model such as the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation.

Biochemical composition of red, green and brown seaweeds on the Swedish west coast
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2020
Seaweed biomass has the potential to become an important raw material for bio-based production. The aim of this study was to screen the overall composition of several seaweed species on the Swedish west coast, including some scarcely studied species, to provide fundamentals for evaluation of biorefining potential and to benchmark with already potentially industrially relevant species and commercially important land-based biomasses. Twenty-two common seaweed species (green, red, brown) were collected and the carbohydrate, ash, protein, water and metal contents were measured. Carbohydrate content varied between 237 and 557 g kg−1 dry weight (dw), making it the largest constituent, on a dry weight basis, of most species in the study. Ash, which is considered unwanted in biorefining, ranged between 118 and 419 g kg−1 dw and was the largest constituent in several seaweeds, which were therefore considered unsuitable for biorefining. Protein content was most abundant in the red seaweeds but was generally low in all species (59–201 g kg−1 dw). High contents of several unwanted metals for processing or human consumption were found (e.g. aluminium, arsenic, copper, chromium and nickel), which need to be considered when utilizing seaweeds for certain applications. Potential targets for further biorefinery development mostly include species already known for their potential (Saccharina latissima, Laminaria digitata and Chondrus crispus) while some, such as Halidrys siliquosa and Dilsea carnosa, have not been previously noted. However, more detailed studies are required to explore biorefinery processes for these seaweeds, as well as how to potentially cultivate them.

$13 billion required in BC for renewal of water/wastewater infrastructure
Are our Water Systems at Risk?
Financial sustainability is a key principle for safeguarding water, sewer, and storm water systems so that they continue to protect public health and the environment, and contribute to economic development.
The BCWWA, together with Urban Systems, has recently assessed the financial capacity of British Columbia's municipalities to maintain, renew, and replace our existing water and wastewater infrastructure. Here are copies of the summary document and full report, entitled Are Our Water Systems at Risk?
The BCWWA encourages local governments to self-assess the financial sustainability of their water and sewer systems, compare their community's results to the results presented in our report, and prioritize water and wastewater renewal and replacement projects for capital investment.
The work is intended to be a catalyst for conversation between water professionals, residents, businesses, and elected officials – to build understanding about the value of BC's water and wastewater systems.
The following resources are available:
Over the next month, the BCWWA will be distributing the Executive Summary report to all municipal CAOs, Mayors & Councils, and MLAs.

Baking Powder Tea Biscuit
Baking powder biscuits are an old country recipe that is still highly popular today. Traditionally served with high tea they are a quick bread that is distinctly unique from others. Delicious served with melted butter, jam, soup or stew.
No fussing or mussing with yeast just stir in a few common kitchen ingredients, bake or fry, and enjoy. Baking powder is the rising ingredient which makes this quick bread so easy to prepare.
Much debate has raged on the difference between a tea biscuit and a scone but when the many variations to these two baked goods is factored in there really is very little difference between the two. Both are a delightful treat served hot or cold.
The scone is often sweeter and richer (due the addition of sugar and cream into the recipe) but the true difference between the two lies in their name and country of origin. The term scone is traditional in Scotland and England whereas in these countries the term biscuit refers to a cracker or cookie like treat. In the U.S. and Canada our baking powder quick bread is generally referred to as a tea biscuit.
When served hot from the oven and oozing in melting butter these biscuits are a delightfully delicious treat which no other baked good can quite compete with.
Of course there is always more than one way to form a biscuit. 1. The dough can be made into a circle and baked in a pan to be then cut into triangular slices or ripped into sections. 2. It can be rolled out lightly then cut with a round cookie cutter into small cookie size circles. 3. The buns can be formed by hand into biscuits which is the method I will use in this recipe.
2/3 cup of non-hydrogenated transfat free margarine
About 4 cups of flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
About 3/4 cup milk
There are many variations to the basic recipe and you can add a dash of flavor to your biscuit by adding in one of the optional ingredients listed below.
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raisins
1. Begin by mixing together your flour, salt, and baking powder Add your margarine but use a pastry cutter or fork to cut rather than blend your margarine into your flour.
2. Add your milk slowly into the pastry. Fluff your pastry with a fork to blend the milk and crumble between your hands to blend in. Do not overwork the dough. The key to a fluffy biscuit is a fluffy pastry.
3. Take a small handful of pastry and press gently into a biscuit. Lay on greased cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 385 Degrees for 10 to 15 Minutes. Cooking Time Will Depend on the Size of Your Biscuits. Add Butter and Enjoy. There really is nothing like the savor of home baked goodies hot from the oven.
The beauty of cooking at home is that you get to select your ingredients. You can add in or delete ingredients as you choose. Most recipes will adapt somewhat and with trial and error you can create foods to suit your tastes and nutritional requirements.
Cheddar Cheese Tea Biscuit
When it comes to fats in cooking my heart is ruled by my love for olive oil and genuine butter. For texture and economics though these two don't always suit the recipe requirement. This is the reason that I use non-hydrogenated trans fat free margarine in the majority of my baking and also within this recipe.
Making the switch to a healthier heart is easy. There are some fats that your body requires for optimum health but trans fats are not it. They clog your arteries and are a potential heart attack in the making. Please read the labels on your food products and avoid trans-fats whenever possible.
To reduce my family's fat consumption further I use one percent milk in our home rather than whole or 2 percent milk. We switched down gradually from whole milk, to two percent milk, and finally down to one percent milk. Now we actually prefer it over the other higher fat content milks.
Keep your heart healthy. Bake up some love and make the switch to safer fats today. Also to help keep cholesterol in check consume oatmeal. Oatmeal is soluble fiber that absorbs cholesterol and helps to flush it from the body. It's heart healthy food.

The Truth is Powerful
New health care data firm Truveta could be game-changer for patients
Hospitals in Michigan systems like Henry Ford Health, Trinity Health and Detroit Medical Center have some of the largest medical data sets on patients' histories, conditions, treatments, outcomes and care of any in the health care industry.
But when doctors are faced with one of the nearly 7,000 rare diseases outside their scope of knowledge, they sometimes seek advice from colleagues, query system electronic medical records or search clinical data sites on the Internet to seek answers for their patients.
Last month, 14 health systems representing 546 hospitals in 40 states formally announced they had formed Truveta, a Seattle-based health care IT company that will use artificial intelligence to mine millions of medical records stored by the systems for clues on how best to care for patients.
In Michigan, Livonia-based Trinity with its eight hospitals, Henry Ford with its six hospitals and Tenet Healthcare Corp.-owned Detroit Medical Center with its six hospitals are awaiting the arrival later this year of Truveta-crunched data.
Using a computer, an Internet connection and typing in questions, Truveta's AI-assisted database could give lifesaving ideas to doctors to improve clinical care for patients or expand opportunities for research physicians and scientists to answer longstanding questions.

The Small Island Family Farm and the Macphail Homestead
Might the Macphail Homestead have an important role to play in the revival of the Island family farm tradition? And if so, how might this be accomplished? These are two of the key questions to be addressed in an upcoming Public Symposium at the Macphail Homestead, on Thursday, October 7, beginning at 7:00. The public is welcome.
Sir Andrew Macphail was immersed in the Island family farm. He grew up on one, about which he wrote, with great insight and emotion, in his masterpiece The Master's Wife. On this same farm, now the Macphail Homestead, he carried out experiments in the growing of tobacco, seed potatoes, and other crops. "A man who lives on his own land and owes no man anything," Macphail wrote, "develops all the dignity inherent in his nature."
During the time when Macphail flourished, in the early years of the 20th century, the small family farm was the bedrock of the Island economy and society. In 1910, just 100 years ago, there were 14,133 farms on the Island, with an average size of 85 acres. The total area under crops was 477,000 acres, including 31,000 acres in potatoes and 181,000 acres in oats. Among the livestock were 52,000 milk cows and 36,000 horses. By the most recent census, in 2006, the number of farms had declined to 1700, with an average size about 365 acres.
For years, Island farmers, journalists and politicians have been bemoaning the "crisis in agriculture" – a difficult situation which only seems to be getting worse. The reasons for this crisis were stated quite bluntly in a recent report – Growing the Island Way: Report of the Commission on the Future of Agriculture and Agri-Food on Prince Edward Island – commissioned by the Island Government and published in January 2009..
Today, our Island farmers find themselves competing in an industrial model of agriculture characterized by "globalized, efficiency-driven commodity markets where the largest scale, lowest operating cost, and least regulated operations win the day. The industrial, commodity-based model of agriculture is a system that does not play to our strengths."
This 2009 Report goes on to paint a bleak picture of the state of Island farming: "The commodity system has created a 'vicious circle' in PEI, where ever-declining profit margins have forced farmers to consolidate and intensify their operations, resulting in negative environmental impacts that lose farmers the respect of the community and, in turn, costs them their own self-respect. Without profit or pride, the next generation of potential farmers, the 'new entrants,' are turning away from agriculture.
The future of Island farming, suggests Growing the Island Way, depends on riding a so-called 'third wave' of agriculture – a "a post-industrial, knowledge-based agriculture highlighted by research, new technologies, and local and regional food systems that can feed the world with a smaller environmental footprint." For our Island, "the answer lies in developing niche markets and providing them with safer and higher quality foods."
Following in the spirit of these 'third wave' recommendations, the October 7th Symposium at the Macphail Homestead will explore and discuss a possible new initiative which would encourage and support small-scale sustainable agriculture on the Island.
In particular, the Symposium will focus on one of the key recommendations in a 1990 report by Dr. George McRobie. Dr. McRobie suggested that the farmland part of the Macphail Homestead be given the name Macphail Farm, and developed as "a resource centre of information and practical assistance to farmers wishing to convert to organic, sustainable systems and methods, including a major outreach component of on-farm experiment and adaptation. It would also have a public information and education component."
Dr. McRobie will be the main speaker at the Macphail Farm Symposium. Also participating will be six Panel members, representing a rich variety of agricultural experience and opinion.
George McRobie has long been one of the world's leading proponents of sustainable agriculture and appropriate, small-scale technology. He was a close friend and colleague of the radical economist E.F. Schumacher, whose landmark book Small Is Beautiful made such an impact in the latter part of the 20th century. Following Schumacher's death in 1977, McRobie carried on their joint work by writing a practical guide called Small Is Possible, published in 1981. More recently, he has served as President of the Soil Association, Britain's foremost farm organization promoting organic agriculture.
At present, Dr. McRobie is a part-time Islander, dividing the year between homes in London and Brackley Beach.
The Panel members are: Margie Loo, organic farmer and member of the PEI Certified Organic Producers' Cooperative; Richard MacEwen, environmental engineer and certified nutrient management planner, conducting small-scale sustainable-agriculture trials in both urban and rural settings; Wayne MacKinnon, authority on the politics and culture of rural PEI, and Communications Officer with the PEI Department of Agriculture; Ian Petrie, former CBC television reporter; Dr. Ralph Martin, present and founding Director of the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada, based at the Nova Scotia Agriculture College in Truro; and Nancy Willis, award-winning professional journalist and former Project Manager of the famous PEI Ark at Spry Point, "an early exploration of the weaving together of the sun, wind, biology and architecture on behalf of humanity."
(For further information, contact Symposium Co-ordinator Harry Baglole, _PHONE_; _EMAIL_
Members of the public are encouraged to attend this event, which begins at 7:00 p.m.
This panel and agricultural idea are based on the proposal submitted to government in May of 2010. There was a motion of support made in the House, and that motion may be found here. It was passed unanimously in the House

Water balance refers to the balance between the demand and the availability of water in an area.
"A water balance instrumentation system has been developed to monitor and help manage actual changes in the water balance in managed areas so that water security in the local environment can improve," the research professor, Sensus Wijonarko, said here on Tuesday.
The instrument can automatically measure the water balance in an area, including sub-watersheds (DAS), and can be developed as a support system for water control in the area, he explained in a speech entitled 'Water Balance Instrumentation in an Integrated Hydrometeorological Observation System to Achieve Water Resistance'.
"This instrumentation needs to be equipped with controlling instruments to increase the supply of clean water, reduce the use of clean water, treat used water, and regulate the type of water according to its function," he added.
According to Sensus, the water security in an area can be estimated based on the condition of the water balance, which can be determined by calculating the movement of water.
Calculations to determine the water balance over a wide range require data and expertise, and the use of averages has several drawbacks, including that the data cannot be used to see instantaneous conditions, he explained.
"These difficulties can be overcome or reduced by the water balance measurement method using water balance instrumentation, which is expected to be a part of an integrated hydrometeorological observation system in the future," Sensus said.
The researcher, who studied instrumentation technology, said that water balance instrumentation can function as a calibrator for water balance calculations and can be used to compare water balances in other places once it is integrated with the hydrometeorological observation system.

Client.select(:name).uniq.uniq(false)

 - Support index sort order in SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL adapters.
 - Allow the :class_name option for associations to take a symbol in addition to a string. This is to avoid confusing newbies, and to be consistent with the fact that other options like :foreign_key already allow a symbol or a string.
 has_many :clients, :class_name => :Client # Note that the symbol need to be capitalized

 - In development mode, db:drop also drops the test database in order to be symmetric with db:create.
 - Case-insensitive uniqueness validation avoids calling LOWER in MySQL when the column already uses a case-insensitive collation.
 - Transactional fixtures enlist all active database connections. You can test models on different connections without disabling transactional fixtures.
 - Add first_or_create, first_or_create!, first_or_initialize methods to Active Record. This is a better approach over the old find_or_create_by dynamic methods because it's clearer which arguments are used to find the record and which are used to create it.
 User.where(:first_name => "Scarlett").first_or_create!(:last_name => "Johansson")

 - Added a with_lock method to Active Record objects, which starts a transaction, locks the object (pessimistically) and yields to the block. The method takes one (optional) parameter and passes it to lock!.
 This makes it possible to write the following:
 class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
 def cancel!
 transaction do
 lock!
 # ... cancelling logic
 end
 end
 end

 as:
 class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
 def cancel!
 with_lock do
 # ... cancelling logic
 end
 end
 end

8.1 Deprecations
 - Automatic closure of connections in threads is deprecated. For example the following code is deprecated:
 Thread.new { Post.find(1) }.join

 It should be changed to close the database connection at the end of the thread:
 Thread.new {
 Post.find(1)
 Post.connection.close
 }.join

 Only people who spawn threads in their application code need to worry about this change.
 - The set_table_name, set_inheritance_column, set_sequence_name, set_primary_key, set_locking_column methods are deprecated. Use an assignment method instead. For example, instead of set_table_name, use self.table_name=.
 class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
 self.table_name = "project"
 end

 Or define your own self.table_name method:
 class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 def self.table_name
 "special_" + super
 end
 end

 Post.table_name # => "special_posts"

9 Active Model
 - Add ActiveModel::Errors#added? to check if a specific error has been added.
 - Add ability to define strict validations with strict => true that always raises exception when fails.
 - Provide mass_assignment_sanitizer as an easy API to replace the sanitizer behavior. Also support both :logger (default) and :strict sanitizer behavior.
9.1 Deprecations
 - Deprecated define_attr_method in ActiveModel::AttributeMethods because this only existed to support methods like set_table_name in Active Record, which are themselves being deprecated.
 - Deprecated Model.model_name.partial_path in favor of model.to_partial_path.
10 Active Resource
 - Redirect responses: 303 See Other and 307 Temporary Redirect now behave like 301 Moved Permanently and 302 Found.
11 Active Support
 - Added ActiveSupport:TaggedLogging that can wrap any standard Logger class to provide tagging capabilities.
 Logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDOUT))

 Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.info "Stuff" }
 # Logs "[BCX] Stuff"

 Logger.tagged("BCX", "Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" }
 # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"

 Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.tagged("Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" } }
 # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"

 - The beginning_of_week method in Date, Time and DateTime accepts an optional argument representing the day in which the week is assumed to start.
 - ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribed provides subscriptions to events while a block runs.
 - Defined new methods Module#qualified_const_defined?, Module#qualified_const_get and Module#qualified_const_set that are analogous to the corresponding methods in the standard API, but accept qualified constant names.
 - Added #deconstantize which complements #demodulize in inflections. This removes the rightmost segment in a qualified constant name.
 - Added safe_constantize that constantizes a string but returns nil instead of raising an exception if the constant (or part of it) does not exist.
 - ActiveSupport::OrderedHash is now marked as extractable when using Array#extract_options!.
 - Added Array#prepend as an alias for Array#unshift and Array#append as an alias for Array#<<.
 - The definition of a blank string for Ruby 1.9 has been extended to Unicode whitespace. Also, in Ruby 1.8 the ideographic space U'3000 is considered to be whitespace.
 - The inflector understands acronyms.
 - Added Time#all_day, Time#all_week, Time#all_quarter and Time#all_year as a way of generating ranges.
 Event.where(:created_at => Time.now.all_week)
 Event.where(:created_at => Time.now.all_day)

 - Added instance_accessor: false as an option to Class#cattr_accessor and friends.
 - ActiveSupport::OrderedHash now has different behavior for #each and #each_pair when given a block accepting its parameters with a splat.
 - Added ActiveSupport::Cache::NullStore for use in development and testing.
 - Removed ActiveSupport::SecureRandom in favor of SecureRandom from the standard library.
11.1 Deprecations
 - ActiveSupport::Base64 is deprecated in favor of ::Base64.
 - Deprecated ActiveSupport::Memoizable in favor of Ruby memoization pattern.
 - Module#synchronize is deprecated with no replacement. Please use monitor from ruby's standard library.
 - Deprecated ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor#encrypt and ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor#decrypt.
 - ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#silence is deprecated. If you want to squelch logs for a certain block, change the log level for that block.
 - ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#open_log is deprecated. This method should not have been public in the first place.
 - ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger's behavior of automatically creating the directory for your log file is deprecated. Please make sure to create the directory for your log file before instantiating.
 - ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#auto_flushing is deprecated. Either set the sync level on the underlying file handle like this. Or tune your filesystem. The FS cache is now what controls flushing.
 f = File.open('foo.log', 'w')
 f.sync = true
 ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.new f

 - ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#flush is deprecated. Set sync on your filehandle, or tune your filesystem.

Pre-Authorization KNOW MORE
Get the agreement nod from the payer for the healthcare service even before the service is performed. Pre-Authorization is a sure way to prevent payment delays, part-payments and denials. An authorization number on the claim form at the time of submitting the claims is the best route to a clean claim.
The key to Pre-Authorization is the obtaining of the correct CPT code which is often a daunting task. So, leave it to us. QWay's trained and highly professional team works on getting the correct CPT by checking with the physician and working out the most possible scenarios. So stop chasing claim payments. PreAuthorization means prompt payments.
Your coders may have done their job, but it will be up to the provider to obtain the necessary authorization. A claim denial or part –payment affects the provider and which is why our focus on getting the Pre-Auth for the procedure is complete and absolute when you outsource it to us. We work with physicians, hospitals, insurance payers and outpatient facilities and ensure the necessary pre-certification requirements are intact to obtain the Pre-Auth.
 A Pre-Auth can prevent:
 - Prevent payment delays and denials.
 - Ensure the patients get the maximum benefit under the policy.
 - Avoid pay and claim.
 - Enable a better financial counselling session with the patient.
 QWay's Pre-Auth service will have you free up time to focus more on patients and less on paper-work.
 frequently asked questions
 - 1. What does pre-authorization mean?
 The healthcare provider obtains permission from the healthcare insurance payer of the patient before performing certain procedures. This is to put forward the fact that those procedures are medically necessary for the patient in question.
 - 2. Does pre-authorization guarantee payment after the procedure is done?
 No! The pre-auth does not mean that the payment will be guaranteed without any delay. But it sure makes the process smoother than the usual one. Most of the providers ensure that the pre-authorization is done to take advantage of faster and hassle-free payments. Here the medical biller must ensure that the billing has been done through the insurance pathway.
 - 3. What documents are needed to get the pre-authorization?
 Several documents pertaining to identity proof of the patient, provider details, and other clinical records to prove the medical necessity are required. Usually, the intricate details depend on the needs of the insurance provider. However, these basic points mentioned above are commonly seen.
 - 4. Why choose QWay for your pre-authorization services?
 QWay makes the complicated process easier by ensuring that each of the forms is submitted accurately. The instances of pre-authorization for even prescription drugs are increasing by 20% every year according to a report of the American Medical Association. So it is advisable to brace yourselves for the future while the time is ripe.

Errors by Those Who Should Know Better
Interlace can be simple to understand if explained properly. However, much of the stuff on the net and elsewhere is wrong or at least misleading. For what it's worth, here's my little list.
The EducatorProfessor Kelin J. Kuhn in his 'Conventional Analog Television - An Introduction' page says that even fields are composed of even lines and odd fields of odd lines. He doesn't see the contradictions resulting from this (or chooses to ignore them). His 21 line raster diagram (lines wrongly numbered) has line number zero not labelled at all (it is ideosyncratic to have a line zero anyway and as this is in both odd and even fields I infer that Prof Kuhn thinks that zero has the unique property of being both an odd and even number). Line 21 is also absent.
The Prof isn't consistent though and in the text just before the picture of the raster he says (talking about the 525 line NTSC system):"However lines number 248 to 263 and 511 to 525 are typically blanked to provide time for the beam to return to the upper left hand corner for the next scan."Now implying (correctly) that lines are numbered in time (the line numbers that he says are blanked are not entirely correct though). His figure immediately following the 21 line raster, showing a 525 field scan, is also correct (but lines misnumbered as before).
Toshiba says:"Traditional Interlace scanning mode reproduces scanning lines of either odd number or even number in each field which creates the following two problems.
- Noise caused by a frame being composed of two fields in a stripe pattern with a time lag.
- Flickering due to many pictures appearing and disappearing in a second."
It's not clear to me what Mr Tosh is trying to say.. it sounds as though he's saying that odd fields are composed of odd lines and even lines comprise the even field and futhermore that odd fields have one more line than even ones (which, if his initial assumption were true would be a necessary consequence; if this is what he's saying then he's the only one who's spotted this inconsistency - without recognising that it is an inconsistency because he goes on to say that a field consists of 312½ lines).
Why Mr Tosh thinks that interlace increases flicker and noise he doesn't say. In fact, interlace reduces flicker and since it conserves bandwidth it also reduces noise. Further illustration of Mr Tosh's grasp of the subject can be seen a few sentences on when he says:"For viewing not illusion of grille images of interlace but continuation of frames like a movie film, the following effects can be gained:...."
Doesn't inspire confidence in Tosh's products, does it?
Elantec's 1881 datasheet has a figure reproduced, it says, from an EIA document - this shows the field beginning at the start of the equalising pulses (page 7) and on page 10 tells us that 'there is an odd field that includes all the odd lines, and an even field that consists of the even lines'; oh dear - that sounds very odd!
Perhaps some might think that I am being pedantic in highlighting these errors. Maybe I am, but for someone seeking information and hoping for a coherent exlanation from these people will, not only be disappointed, but may end up confused rather than enlightened. Educators and international electronics manufacturers ought to be able to get simple things right.

Collecting Data documents Product Alias/Synonym DB2 LUW Document information More support for: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Programming The JCC trace can be dynamically enabled or turned off, but property changes only affect new connections.
Fortunately, the trace properties can be set also in a properties file. Instead, the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver allows tracing by setting of certain driver properties. IBM Support Check here to start a new keyword search. Why won't it have any effect? –Kannan Sep 17 '14 at 14:36 As I said, the JCC driver never reads db2cli.ini.
For example, the URL jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/sample:traceDirectory=/tmp;traceFile=jcctrace.log;traceFileCount=5;traceFileSize=20971520;traceLevel=-1; Enables the trace with a maximum of five (5) files of 20 MB (20*1024*1024 bytes) each. However, a lot of this trace data does not relate in any way to the actual SQL statements being executed. Although the DB2 Legacy Driver is still supported, it will be completely replaced by the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver in the future. Answer Information to Collect This section lists the required information for IBM DB2 Support to analyze, and how to collect it.
Cause It is often desirable to view SQL statements being executed by a JEE application running on WebSphere Application Server. e.g. As entries in the file db2cli.ini are only read when a database connection is first established, changes to the db2cli.ini file have no impact on existing database connections. The CLI trace, once enabled, can then be turned on or off dynamically using the CLI keyword TraceRefreshInterval.
If the problem is not reproducible on demand, or if enabling both the JDBC and CLI traces (in addidtion to application-level tracing) causes unacceptable performance degradation or fills up the log
