What Does a Purchase Order Contains and How Does It Work?
purchase order blog
Purchase Order
Every business has two primary parties, a buyer and a seller, regardless of the industry. A company keeps track of its inventory and sales through the usage of a purchase order and invoice. As these documents are similar in many aspects, there is often confusion.
It is a legal document between a buyer and the seller initiated by the buyer. Whereas, an invoice is a sales document requesting payment for the goods sold.
What does a purchase order contain?
What Purchase Order Contains
The purchase order is from the buyer to the seller requesting materials at a price fixed by the seller. It contains the following points:
 - Issuing date
 - Purchase Order Number
 - Details of materials
 - Shipping Details
 - Buyer's name and Address
 - Seller's name and Address
 - Terms and Conditions
A purchase order is created before the sales invoice is sent as it defines the requirements for sale. Having a proper purchase order system will help the management in keeping track of ordered, shipped, and received but not invoiced stock. With modern technologies in place, purchase orders have now become computerized and allow for better payment and inventory tracking.
How does a purchase order work?
purchase order works
The working of the order takes place in three steps:
1. Submission
The buyer pre[ares the order electronically through their purchasing department. It usually includes all the details regarding the order. All the buyer needs to do is to fill the fields for each piece of data in the computer and mail it to the seller.
2. Processing
Once the buyer submits the purchase order, the seller process the order. The orders' status on the seller's side remains in-progress until the delivery of the product. Once the shipment physically reaches the buyer's warehouse, the purchase order is compared with the inventory, and the actual inventory arrives. Then the purchase order is marked as processes and awaiting payment.
3. Completion
Suppliers use these orders for order fulfillment and the payment process. Upon the receipt of the payment and shipping, the seller uses the order to tally their inventory. Often, along with electronic input, the seller also takes a paper copy for a manual check of the shipment. If the order is unpaid, payment reminder dates and deadline along with return date is set.
The buyer uses a purchase order when they wish to buy supplies or inventory on credit. PO also serves as risk protection in case of any dispute. It also has a significant part in inventory and payment tracking. It helps the suppliers to compare the shipped and ordered inventory for the exact status. The suppliers can track the payments that they have received for specific orders. Buyers also hold hard copies of the purchase order to monitor the timely receipt of the goods.

"CIP
2010"). The CIP has also been adopted by Statistics Canada as its standard disciplinary
For the purposes of the Humanities Indicators the CIP has several advantages over
the NSF classification system. For example, because the NSF system groups degrees
in the nonsectarian study of religion with those awarded in programs designed to
prepare students for religious vocations and because the latter type of degree is
much more common, the HI cannot include what the NSF considers to be degrees in
religion in the humanities degree counts for years prior to 1987. With CIP-coded
data, however, academic disciplines such as comparative religion can be separated
from vocational programs such as theology and thus can be included in the humanities
degree tally. Additionally, when using CIP-coded data, the HI can include degrees
in all the excluded disciplines mentioned above, from art history to Holocaust studies,
in its counts of humanities degrees from 1987 onward. For an inventory of the NSF
and CIP disciplinary categories included by the HI under the broad academic field
headings ("humanities," "natural sciences," etc.) used throughout Part II of the
HI, see the
NSF and CIP Discipline Code Catalog. This catalog also indicates which degree
programs the HI includes within specific humanities disciplines (e.g., for the purposes
of the HI, English degrees include those classified under CIP as being in "English
Language and Literature," "American Literature," and "Creative Writing," among others).
In constructing indicators that use IPEDS data to track historical trends in the
academic humanities, the HI has employed completion data that were classified using
both the NSF and CIP systems. In these cases, either a note accompanying the chart
or a break in the trend line indicates where estimates based on the NSF classification
system leave off and those based on CIP begin. For those indicators reporting degree
data gathered in 1987 or more recently (1995 or more recently for the charts and
tables describing the proportions of all degrees received by members of racial/ethnic
minority groups), CIP-coded data are used.
In the case of several of the degree-related indicators, the humanities are compared
to certain other fields such as the sciences and engineering. The nature of these
fields is specified in the
Statement on the Scope of the "Humanities" for Purposes of the Humanities Indicators.
These broad fields do not encompass all postsecondary programs. Therefore, where
fields are being compared in terms of their respective shares of all degrees, the
percentages will not add up to 100%. Also, none of the graphs showing change over
time in the share of degrees awarded to members of traditionally underrepresented
ethnic/minority groups includes a data point for the academic year 1999, because
the NCES did not release data for that year.
The degree counts presented as part of the HI do not include "second majors" because
NCES began collecting data about these degrees only in 2001. The HI deals separately
with the issue of second majors in
Figure II-1c ("Humanities
Bachelor's Degrees Earned as 'Second Majors,' 2001–2010").
Data on the number of students completing minors are not collected as part of IPEDS,
but such information was compiled for selected humanities disciplines as part of
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences–sponsored Humanities Departmental Survey
(HDS; see the HDS final report, page 8, Table 12).

WipeIn film editing, a wipe is a gradual spatial transition from one image to another. One image is replaced by another with a distinct edge that forms a shape. A simple edge, an expanding circle, or the turning of a page are all examples.
It is often aknowledged that using a wipe, rather than a simple cut or dissolve is a stylistic choice that inherently makes the audience more "aware" of the film as a film, rather than a story. For example, George Lucas is famous for the sweeping use of Wipes in his Star Wars films, which help evoke a kinship to old serialized pulp sci-fi novels and serials.

Viscosity Dip Cup NOVOTEST VZ-P
Viscosity Dip Cup NOVOTEST VZ-P is designed for rapid determination of the relative viscosity (flow time) paints and other related products (Newtonian liquids).
Viscosity cup could be manufactured in compliance with: DIN 53211-87 (DIN 4), UNE ISO DIN 2431, ASTM D 120087 (FORD), ASTM D 4212-93 (ZHAN).
Viscosity cup is available in two models: on a tripod – Viscosity Flow Cup NOVOTEST VZ and a submersible type Viscosity Dip Cup NOVOTEST VZ-P.
Viscosity cup is a reservoir shaped like a funnel with three exchangeable nozzles. Viscosity Dip Cup NOVOTEST VZ-P is produced from stainless steel.
The operating principle of the viscometer is based on determining the time of the expiration of a certain volume of the test liquid through the nozzle.
Viscosity cup – one of the fundamental parameters measuring tool of consumables. When working with varnishes and liquid inks (flexo) it is used to measure the viscosity of the funnel. The viscosity value is determined by the number of seconds (the time at which the liquid runs out of the crater-filled).
Conventional viscosity of paints, is measured by time of continuous flowing (in seconds) of definite quantity of test material through the calibrated nozzle of viscometer. Kinematic viscosity is determined by formulas or by tables and graphs according to measured flow time.

 - A Basque Dancer from Head to Toe
 While Basque country is home to many styles of dance, each with variations in dress, there are some basic elements that dance costumes have in common. Most of these pieces are based on traditional everyday clothing, with some embellishments so the dancers are really dressed to impress.
 Six traditional Basque dance troupes will be performing at the Folklife Festival. Even though these groups are from California, Nevada, Idaho, and Utah, they retain many of the classic movements and costumes of performers from their homeland. How many can you spot at the Festival?

 The beret, or txapela, is a Basque icon. While the felt hats had been worn by farmers all over northern Europe, Basques made it fashionable. Even Napoleon Bonaparte thought the "Basque berets" were hip, so now they are known as basco in Italian, baskeri in Finnish, and baskenmütze in German.
 Some men's costumes include a cloth sash, or gerriko, either tied around the waist or across one shoulder. Most often these are bright red or green, representing the Basque flag.
 Male dancers wear small bells sewed to a piece of cloth or leather and tied around their shins. Others wear larger bells fastened to their waists. Following a widespread early European superstition, the noisy bells are meant to drive away evil spirits.
 These simple sandals, called abarketa in Basque, are made from either canvas with rope soles or from leather, similar to ballet shoes. Once worn by peasants, then by laborers and military, espadrilles have become fashionable around the world.

 Women often wrap a white scarf over their heads. This is the first part of the poxpolin, a costume popularized when women began performing men's dances.
 They usually wear their hair in braids, tied with a ribbon at the top called zintamuxko.
 Around their necks, women and men tie square handkerchiefs, or lepozapi. The colors can indicate the dancers' club, town, or region.
 Rainbows of ribbons are woven into berets, braided into hair, and wrapped around ankles to lace up shoes. They add color to the dancers' costumes and accentuate their motions. Some dances incorporate ribbons into the movements, like the zinta-dantza, a Basque version of the Maypole dance.
 Women dance in long wool skirts. The color and stripes at the bottom traditionally indicate their home region. Over time, it has become more fashionable to shorten the skirts, from just above the ankle to around the knee, exposing voluminous petticoats.
 Color Guide
 According to some Basques, the colors of cloths and ribbons in costumes symbolize certain things. Here is a short guide to those meanings.
 Red = Life, love
 Blue = Heavens
 Green = Regeneration of nature
 White = Purity, innocence
 Join us at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival to see Basque dance performances and learn some steps for yourself. In the Festival Marketplace, located inside the Arts and Industries Building, you will find berets, handkerchiefs, and espadrilles to take home.

When your investigation is complete, it is sent to a Central Adjudications Facility (CAF). An adjudicator at a CAF will review all of the information, both "good" and "bad" (remember, the "whole person") and assess it the information against the Federal Adjudicative Guidelines to decide if you're eligible for a clearance or position of trust.
- If no significant adverse information turns up, you'll be granted a clearance eligibility at the level requested by your agency.
- If significant, adverse material develops, it could mean that your case will be delayed until additional information is gathered and facts are verified. Ultimately, you may be denied a clearance.
Adjudication is the decision whether to grant or deny/revoke either a clearance or the eligibility to perform sensitive duties based upon the investigative evidence.
During the adjudication process, adjudicators use a "whole person" concept in determining whether a clearance or eligibility is to be granted. They carefully weigh the information that has been gathered during investigation, favorable and unfavorable, past and present. The employee's strengths are evaluated to determine whether these strengths outweigh any weaknesses. Each case is judged on its own merit.

luser definition jargon, abuse
/loo'zr/ A user
; especially one who is also a loser
are pronounced identically.) This word was coined around 1975 at MIT
, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed out some status information, including how many people were already using the computer; it might print "14 users", for example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch the system to print "14 losers" instead. There ensued a great controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to be called losers to their faces every time they used the computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly, each changing the message behind the back of the others; any time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it would say "users" or "losers". Finally, someone tried the compromise "lusers", and it stuck.
Later one of the ITS machines supported "luser" as a request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990, except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the term "luser" is often seen in program comments.

- Display for displaying up to four process values
- Electronic circuit breakers for the permanent monitoring of the 24 V secondary circuit
- Mini display to monitor limit values
- Signal lamps can be controlled via IO-Link
ifm's range of IO-Link devices comprises displays and electronic circuit breakers.
The IO-Link display indicates process values, texts and messages provided by the connected IO-Link master. It displays up to four assigned process values, alarms and warnings. The optional colour change of text and background can be used to get a quick overview.
Electronic fuses permanently monitor the 24 V secondary circuit and reliably switch it off in the event of a failure. These electronic circuit breakers will also switch off circuits in cases where mechanical circuit breakers often do not trigger, e.g. in case of overload of a circuit with long cables. By means of a pushbutton, each channel of a fuse module can be activated, deactivated or reset individually. The module can also be operated and configured via IO-Link.

Atomically decrements by one the current value and returns the previous value of the counter. It is possible that multiple concurrent client requests may receive the same previous value. This occurs since only the decrementing part of the logic is atomic, the retrieval of the value before it is decremented is not.
Future Backendless.counters.getAndDecrement(String counterName);

Binding Data to DOM Elements
In this example, you will use D3.js to bind data to DOM elements of a basic webpage.
Start with a basic HTML webpage:
1var theData = [ 1, 2, 3 ] 2 3var p = d3.select("body").selectAll("p") 4.data(theData) 5.enter() 6.append("p") 7.text("hello ");
This will give you the following:
Congratulations - you have bound some data to some DOM elements using D3.js!
D3.js SelectAll Method
The D3.js SelectAll method uses CSS3 selectors to grab DOM elements. Unlike the Select method (where the first element is selected), the SelectAll method selects all the elements that match the specific selector string.
But wait! The basic HTML page doesn't contain any yet. What is it actually doing?
What it is doing is selecting all of the available on the page. Which in this case is none. So it returns an empty selection.
Later use of.data(theData) and.enter( ) will allow us to bind the data to the empty selection.
D3.js Data Operator
The data operator joins an array of data (which can be numbers, objects or other arrays) with the current selection.
In this example, there is no key provided, so each element of theData array of data is assigned to each element of the current selection. The first element 1 is assigned to the first element, the second to the second, so on and so forth.
But wait! The basic page doesn't contain any yet. What is it actually doing?
D3.js Virtual Selections (Thinking with Joins)
The D3.js Data Operator returns three virtual selections rather than just the regular one like other methods.
The three virtual selections are enter, update and exit.
The enter selection contains placeholders for any missing elements.
The update selection contains existing elements, bound to data.
Any remaining elements end up in the exit selection for removal.
Since our selection from
The virtual enter selection now contains placeholders for our elements.
We will come back to the power of the virtual selections enter, update, and exit in later sections. For now we will concentrate on the enter virtual selection.
To learn more, please visit the classic article by Mike Bostock "Thinking with Joins".
D3.js Enter Method
The D3.js Enter Method returns the virtual enter selection from the Data Operator. This method only works on the Data Operator because the Data Operator is the only one that returns three virtual selections.
In this case
1var p = d3.select("body").selectAll("p") 2.data(theData) 3.enter()
This will return a reference to the placeholder elements (nodes) for each data element that did not have a corresponding existing DOM Element.
Once we have this reference we can then operate on this selection.
However, it is important to note that this reference only allows chaining of append, insert and select operators to be used on it.
After these operators have been chained the the.enter() selection, we can treat the selection just like any other selection to modify the content.
D3.js Append Operator Revisited
Looking at the code again:
1var p = d3.select("body").selectAll("p") 2.data(theData) 3.enter() 4.append("p")
We.append("p") to the.enter() selection.
For each placeholder element created in the previous step, a p element is inserted.
Because we had three data points in our data array and no elements on the webpage, the.append("p") creates and adds three HTML paragraph elements.
In the example, after the append operator has operated on the selection, it will return a selection of three HTML paragraph elements.
D3.js Text Operator
If we wrote the code so that it was missing the last text operator as such:
1var theData = [ 1, 2, 3 ] 2 3var p = d3.select("body").selectAll("p") 4.data(theData) 5.enter() 6.append("p");
This is what we would see:
Notice that none of the paragraphs contain any text versus the previous picture:
The Text Operator sets the textContent of the node to the specified value on all selected elements.
In this example,.text("hello "), the value is "hello ". Since the selection was three elements, each element gets a "hello " inserted into it.
Where did the Data go?
1var theData = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
and some how we end up with three paragraphs that say Hello.
What happened to our numbers 1, 2 and 3?
D3.js Data Operator Revisited
When you hit return and click through the down arrows to see the properties of "body", you see something like this:
Beneath the line that reads 0: , you can see the properties of this HTML body element.
Our data appears as a property named __data__:
When data is assigned to an element, it is stored in the property __data__.
This makes the data "sticky" as the __data__ property is available on re-selection.
This is what we mean when we talk about Binding Data to Dom Elements.
Basic Example Revisited
Going back to our basic example at the top of the page, we can now see where the data was bounded to by using the console.log( ):
1var theData = [ 1, 2, 3 ] 2 3var p = d3.select("body").selectAll("p") 4.data(theData) 5.enter() 6.append("p") 7.text("hello "); 8 9console.log(p);
Gives us this:
From this you can see the three paragraph elements that were appended.
You can also see that the last (third) paragraph element has the __data__ property with a value of 3. Which came from our data set!

become more important than ever before for Japanese companies to earn the unconditional trust of their shareholders through active communication. It is essential for a company to communicate with its shareholders on a regular basis, and facilitate a deep understanding of such areas of the company's business as its management policies and business strategies. This is believed to be a key factor in ensuring the long-term investment of shareholders and maintaining the fair value of the company's stock. For this reason, it can be said that shareholder newsletters and reports are more important now than ever before for their ability to facilitate regular communication with shareholders.
Why are printed shareholder newsletters and reports important in the age of the Internet?
The Internet has become a part of people's everyday lives, and subsequently has become an intrinsic part of corporate IR activities. A number of listed companies have created websites for private investors, enabling information to be provided to investors in real time, thus making accessing information even more convenient for investors. However, websites are passive IR communication tools, and they cannot provide information unless they are accessed. Conversely, printed tools like shareholder newsletters and reports can be sent to all shareholders. Further, it is harder for information on websites to make a lasting impression, whereas the characteristics of printed media can be utilized in order to more-effectively communicate the company's management strategies and messages from management. This can be accomplished through the use of innovate visuals, such as headings, and through the layout. Accordingly, such documents are an effective tool for deepening shareholders' understanding of the company's business activities.
What are the recent trends in shareholder newsletters and reports?
Traditional reports were highly formulaic, limited in format and the number of pages, while offering minimal amounts of information. At times, they were practically no more than color copies of the business reports that were attached to notifications of shareholder meetings. These reports offered little to no information that was of genuine use to shareholders. Recently, however, there has been a trend toward bolstering the amount of information contained within these reports, including a wealth of information regarding management policies, growth strategies, and the financial condition of the company. Accordingly, the title of these reports has changed from "shareholder report" to "shareholder newsletter." The number of companies publishing such newsletters is increasing steadily. Behind this trend, there is a growing awareness of the importance of communicating with shareholders to ensure that as many of them as possible invest in the company over the long term.
How are shareholder newsletters superior to traditional reports?
Traditional shareholder reports generally consisted of an overview of the financial results, simple financial statements, and a formulaic president's message. Moreover, the financial statements were limited to the fiscal year under review and did not offer comparisons with previous fiscal years. On the other hand, several companies have began enhancing the quality of the president's message in their shareholder newsletters and bolstering the message's content to better explain elements of the company, such as its medium-term management plan. Also, by including Q&A-style interviews with senior management, these companies are making their management policies and business strategies easier to understand. Further, these companies are implementing innovative measures throughout these newsletters in order to help deepen understanding of the company. These include revising the bland design of traditional reports and employing visuals that better incorporate the company's brand image. Additionally, several companies have increased the number of times these newsletters are published from once a year to two or four times a year.
What are some specific characteristics of shareholder newsletters?
Shareholder newsletters primarily consist of basic items such as (1) the president's message, (2) an overview of the financial results, (3) a review of operations (segment information), (4) topics, and (5) financial information. It is common for these basic items to be combined with special feature sections on management plans, new businesses, and other aspects of the business. In addition to including financial information from several fiscal years in the financial statements, there have been movements encouraging the inclusion of information on trends in segment and product sales, as well as simple explanations of the financial statements. Further, some companies use these newsletters to offer information on their environmental initiatives and CSR activities. At the same time, there are companies that periodically attach surveys to their newsletters, enabling them to incorporate shareholder opinions into management. In this way, these newsletters are used as a tool to help companies understand the characteristics of their shareholder base.
What kind of shareholder newsletter is useful to private investors?
First, if the shareholder newsletter is to be useful to private investors, it is important that it be easily understood by everyone. This is because there are a wide variety of private investors, all with differing needs. Investors vary from first-time investors to semi-professional investors, and can be of all ages. Second, the newsletter must offer a clear explanation of the company's growth strategies. Investors base their investment decisions on a company's future growth potential. Therefore, offering clear explanations of management strategies that take into account factors such as market fluctuations and the company's position in the industry helps reassure investors of the company's future growth potential. Third, the newsletter must offer thorough explanations of the concerns and risks that management faces. Transparent IR activities—those that do not try to hide information from shareholders—help to reinforce trust. Fourth, it is important that a company's senior management communicate a message in their own words. This is the easiest way to bolster the faith of shareholders in management.
When is the best timing to publish shareholder newsletters?
If possible, it is best to publish shareholder newsletters four times a year, in correspondence with the release of the quarterly financial statements. This is an effective way to increase the frequency of communication with shareholders. At the same time, it demonstrates management's consideration of its shareholders, which in turns helps solidify the trust of shareholders. However, publishing newsletters quarterly places a great burden on the IR department of a company. Therefore, it is important that the content of these newsletters and the volume of content differ between each edition.

Ranking Non-Regular Design
Fractional factorial designs are commonly used in industrial and experiments to identify factors affecting a response or process. The focus of this thesis is on two-level orthogonal designs, however, the methods we consider can be generalized to nonorthogonal designs. Orthogonal designs can be classified into two broad categories: regular designs, which have a simple aliasing structure, in that any two effects are orthogonal or fully aliased; and non-regular designs which have a complex aliasing structure, in that there exist effects that are neither orthogonal nor fully aliased. This thesis focuses on the study of non-regular designs.
In many industrial settings robust parameter designs are performed as a strategy for variance reduction. In these situations the experimenter is mainly interested in the estimation of control-by-noise interactions. For non-regular fractional factorial designs, the goodness of the design can be judged using the generalized aberration criteria. We extend the definitions of generalized aberration to emphasize the controlby-noise interactions. Theoretical results are used to show how one can construct the set of all non-isomorphic multi-factor designs from the existing set of all nonisomorphic designs. We then use the set of all non-isomorphic multi-factor designs to construct a catalog of generalized minimum aberration robust parameter designs.
Next, we focus attention on factorial designs and introduce the projection estimation capacity sequence and use this new criterion to select good non-regular designs. Two theoretical results are presented that will be practically useful when searching for good designs. Based on these results, a simple search procedure is implemented to find such designs. Catalogues of designs are constructed for 20, 24 and 28 runs. Finally, we discuss topics for future research. Firstly, we show how projection estimation capacity can be modified and used to rank robust parameter designs. Secondly, we show how one could use the projection estimation capacity to select follow-up runs in a factorial experiment. The selection of additional runs is briefly discussed and it is shown how one can select follow-up runs to ensure the overall design is orthogonal.
This type of interdisciplinary work is a hallmark of our program in Applied Statistics at Simon Fraser University. For more information, please contact Jason Loeppky (jloeppkystat.sfu.ca) or his supervisor Randy Sitter (sitterstat.sfu.ca).

(AP) Some of the stream and river gauges used around the country to help forecasters predict flood and drought could be discontinued as a result of automatic federal budget cuts that went into effect this month, officials said Friday.
The U.S. Geological Survey said 11 of the roughly 100 gauges it operates in Minnesota could potentially be shut down due to budget cuts. Nationally, 375 of the 8,000 USGS-operated gauges are at risk. USGS spokesman Dave Ozman said the agency doesn't know the full impact of the cuts yet, or when the gauges might be affected.
The gauges provide key information for the National Weather Service as it collects data to forecast potential flooding.
"They are the eyes in the field for us," weather service hydrologist Diane Cooper. "Without that river gauge, we can't provide forecasts."
The USGS's river gauges measure water elevation every 15 minutes, and about every six weeks the river flow is measured. But during flooding, river flow measurements are taken much more frequently. The USGS compares that river flow and elevation data, which it uses to create important forecasts at each gauge's location, Cooper said.
The information is transmitted to a satellite and comes into the weather service almost continuously which is important because, she said, "river conditions can change quickly."
Ozman said some river gauges are co-funded through federal, state or local dollars. Eleven USGS river gauges in Minnesota are completely funded by federal dollars, so those are the ones that could face a shutdown.
They include gauges at: the Pigeon River near Grand Portage, the Kawishiwi River near Ely, the Prairie River near Taconite, the Crow River at Rockford, the Whetstone River near Big Stone City, the Yellow Medicine River near Granite Falls, the Minnesota River at Morton, the Mississippi River at St. Paul, the Mississippi River at Prescott, the Root River near Pilot Mound, and the Cedar River near Austin.
"Those are the ones we're looking at. Our hope is that we wouldn't have to cut all of those," Ozman said. "These gauges are all important to the folks who are served by them."
The USGS is evaluating the effects of budget cuts on all of its programs, including seismic monitoring and volcano and land slide monitoring. In addition, Ozman said, the USGS plans to issue a notice to all employees that a furlough is also being considered, but that any furloughs would not exceed nine days.
Ferris Chamberlin, the chief of water management for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District, said river gauges are important, especially with the spring flooding season right around the corner.
"You couldn't have picked a worse time," he said.

Story of the Week: Lions, LCIF Form New Partnership to Vaccinate Kids
Lions around the world are actively involved with initiatives to improve the lives of kids. We have immunized more than 41 million children in Africa against measles. Now, we're expanding our efforts to increase awareness about the importance of vaccinations for children through a partnership with the United Nations Foundation Shot@Life campaign.
One child dies every 20 seconds from a disease that could have been prevented by a vaccine. By encouraging Americans to learn about, advocate for and donate vaccines, the Shot@Life campaign will decrease vaccine-preventable childhood deaths and give children a shot at a healthy life.
Lions and LCIF have already made progress toward this goal with our Lions-Measles Initiative pilot program. In this video, you'll learn more about our efforts to eliminate measles, the leading cause of childhood blindness, in Nigeria, Mali, Ethiopia and Madagascar.

Monte Carlo Tree Search-Based Intersection Signal Optimization Model with Channelized Section Spillover
Signal optimization has received significant attentions from the research community. However, during peak hours, the performances of existing models still have room for improvements, especially when channelized section spillover (CSS) occurs. The evolution of CSS is dynamic in nature, not only due to the interactions between traffic flow of different movements, but also because existing CSS influences the queuing process in a channelized section and contributes to new CSS formation at the next cycle. Neglecting such spatial-temporal interaction in current traffic signal optimization procedures may lead to suboptimal results. A Monte Carlo Tree Search-based model is proposed to solve the intersection optimization problem (named MCTS-IO) with explicit modeling of CSS dynamic evolution. The model works in a rolling horizon way. At each decision point, MCTS-IO simulates the intersection by selecting a sequence of phases, and progressively updates the relative preferences of the phases. After all simulations are performed, the phase with the best policy PI is selected. Both the PI and decision space can be customized, which ensures algorithm flexibility. The method is tested against Synchro results with both stable and variable demand, which demonstrates the proposed model is always able to find a solution better than Synchro.

Knowing when you've got a leak or an unusual water flow in your pipes is a big concern for water and utility companies, so smart water sensors and monitoring devices are needed to stay on top of those situations.
Powering all of those monitors takes electricity, and for the ones in remote locations, batteries are necessary, which only last for a couple of years. But an innovation in microgenerators from an Israeli startup may be able to power those remote monitoring systems with energy generated from the water in the pipes themselves.
Hydrospin, based in northern Israel, developed their generator system based on two years of research into solutions for eliminating the need for batteries in monitoring systems. Locations with no access to electricity can still have sensor deployed there, without any fear of solar panels or other remote power generators being damaged or stolen.
"HydroSpin has developed a set of unique in-pipe generators that generate electricity from the flow of water inside distribution pipes. The HydroSpin generator creates enough power to support low-energy devices throughout the water network; such as sensors, probes and transmission devices (GPRS)." - HydroSpin
"The batteries are at the source of two problems: First, the used battery cannot be recycled, so it's not environment-friendly. Second, replacing batteries is expensive and causes disturbance in the water networks during the replacement." - Gabby Czertok, CEO of HydroSpin
According to the company, their system is able to generate electricity without any water loss or disturbing the flow inside the pipes, and any necessary maintenance can be done via a remote control - without any physical human intervention.

Joby Aviation, a California-based company developing all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger service, today announced that its full-size pre-production aircraft has successfully demonstrated its low noise profile, following acoustic testing completed with NASA.
In its press release the company says that "Following analysis of the data obtained over two weeks of testing as part of NASA's Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign, Joby's aircraft was shown to have met the low noise targets the Company set for itself.
"The aircraft registered the equivalent of 45.2 A-weighted decibels (dBA) from an altitude of 1640 feet (500 meters) at 100 knots airspeed, a sound level which Joby believes will barely be perceptible against the ambient environment of cities".
Furthermore the press release reported "NASA engineers also measured the aircraft's acoustic profile during planned take-off and landing profiles to be below 65 dBA, a noise level comparable to normal conversation, at a distance of 330 feet (100 meters) from the flight path".

This paper studied the equivalent mechanics model of sloshing motion of water inside the moonpool of a deep sea Spar platform, and the model parameters were calculated. The dynamic equations of water inside the moonpool were derived based on the potential flow theory. The equivalent pendulum models of the sloshing motions of water inside the moonpool were established. ANSYS software was used to set up model and mesh, and the Matlab software was used to carry out the numerical calculation. The Galerkin method was used to solve the natural frequencies, modal functions and discrete solutions of the potential function of the sloshing motions, and the model parameters of the equivalent pendulum were calculated. The validity of the calculating method was verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the analytical results. The parameter library of the equivalent mechanics model was established considering the different water heights of the moonpool. This lays the foundation for studying the coupling motions between the platform and water inside the moonpool.

text: Perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing both have a scientific base upon which to base care, and great strides have been made in translating research into practice in both of these specialties. However, barriers still exist for nurses in implementing evidence-based perinatal and neonatal care. Patient, provider, and systems factors that influence how evidence is translated into practice are discussed. Suggestions for how to implement practice change when evidence is inadequate are also discussed. Finally, examples of how the scientific base for both perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing can be more efficiently implemented are outlined on the basis of the state of implementation science in the United States today.

Pedagogy and Didactics
Faced with the habitual memory-based study methods and the generalized pedagogical theories that do not connect knowledge to one's inner life, González Pecotche sought new ways to teach the development of essential skills to the human being. Hence, he created a new pedagogy – the Logosophical Pedagogy –, which is based on the conception of the human being as a bio-psycho-spiritual being, capable of achieving a permanent internal improvement, with the aim of providing constructive results for society.
Based on the knowledge and the method of study and research established by Logosophy, Logosophical Pedagogy adapts learning to the reality that each human being presents at their starting point. At the same time, it actively promotes the achievement of one's own aspirations, according to the energies and resources which one has available.
This pedagogical approach is based on an experimental, internal and gradual conception of the learning process. The principles that arise from Logosophy are put into practice to be proven in one's own life, thus transcending the theoretical focus.
In conclusion, Logosophical Pedagogy develops the functions of studying, teaching, thinking, and achieving – which are present in potency in every human being – in the field of experiential learning, linked to one's reality and to one's own life.


Three-dimensional flow structure and patterns of bed shear stress in an evolving compound meander bend
 loading Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid
Abstract
Compound meander bends with multiple lobes of maximum curvature are common in actively evolving lowland rivers. Interaction among spatial patterns of mean flow, turbulence, bed morphology, bank failures and channel migration in compound bends is poorly understood. In this paper, acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements of the three-dimensional (3D) flow velocities in a compound bend are examined to evaluate the influence of channel curvature and hydrologic variability on the structure of flow within the bend. Flow structure at various flow stages is related to changes in bed morphology over the study timeframe. Increases in local curvature within the upstream lobe of the bend reduce outer bank velocities at morphologically significant flows, creating a region that protects the bank from high momentum flow and high bed shear stresses. The dimensionless radius of curvature in the upstream lobe is one-third less than that of the downstream lobe, with average bank erosion rates less than half of the erosion rates for the downstream lobe. Higher bank erosion rates within the downstream lobe correspond to the shift in a core of high velocity and bed shear stresses toward the outer bank as flow moves through the two lobes. These erosion patterns provide a mechanism for continued migration of the downstream lobe in the near future. Bed material size distributions within the bend correspond to spatial patterns of bed shear stress magnitudes, indicating that bed material sorting within the bend is governed by bed shear stress. Results suggest that patterns of flow, sediment entrainment, and planform evolution in compound meander bends are more complex than in simple meander bends. Moreover, interactions among local influences on the flow, such as woody debris, local topographic steering, and locally high curvature, tend to cause compound bends to evolve toward increasing planform complexity over time rather than stable configurations.

Q: Is there a way to understand why indexes aren't being used, even if they are referenced in the WHERE?
A: Not really. For example, suppose WHERE GENDER = 'M' and I know there is an index in the column. Why did it not get used? If there are statistics gathered and Oracle knows that more than 20% of the values are male, then it will choose not to use the index. The explain plan does not show why things were skipped. Oracle shows only what it's going to use. That's why it's called the "plan."

Q: Is there an option to import an explain plan from one database to another one through Toad?
A: No, but it's a good idea for a new feature. You can go to Toad World and Toad for Oracle Idea Pond to add the idea – the more people that vote on it, the more likely it will get implemented.

Q: Can we get recommendations from Toad to update the Oracle environment variable so that SQL runs fast? For example OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ?
A: Yes. Auto Optimize and SQL Optimizer rewrite the SQL using different hints and/or different coding styles (e.g. sub select vs. JOIN). Toad also offers the ability to help you easily add hints. When you're in Editor, go to Main menu -> View -> Code Snippets, then choose Show hints in the Code Snippets drop-down. Now you can see all the possible Oracle hints, and drag-and-drop them into your code.

Q: I probably missed it, but how do I know if I'm looking at the proposed vs. actual explain plan?
A: Right-click the explain plan and choose Show Changed Plan. Read the blog post "Explain Plans Can Be Deceiving."

Q: I have often seen Toad execute SQL differently from SQL*Developer. Also, at times the explain plan indicates that it uses the right index, but on the actual run, it does not use the index. Why not?
A: Both tools call DBMS_XPLAN, which means that the database – not these tools – provides the explain plan. So the only reason you might see different results is in the options being passed by those tools to the database. For example, if I check the Toad option to use the cached plan, that would tell the database to not look at the SQL text and do a plan, but to look in the SGA to find the actual plan. There are a dozen or more such parameters that can be passed to DBMS_XPLAN, so you need to know in both tools which options you have set that affect the parameters being passed.
Q: Are there any specific joins like HASH or MERGE that are red flags to avoid in the explain plan?
A: It depends. For example, a full table scan is bad, right? Well, if I'm on Exadata, it's the preferred option. Sorry to be so vague, but there are a lot of variables.

Q: Can I use Toad to force a SQL to use a certain plan?
A: Yes, SQL Optimizer can do this.
 Q: Repeat your statement about cost. Are we looking for a balance of improved elapsed time, while maintaining a lower cost? How do you gauge the tradeoffs between improved time and more cost?
A: Cost means nothing. Many people think low cost = best plan. It isn't so. Often a low-cost plan takes longer to run than a higher-cost plan. So NEVER make SQL Optimization decisions based on explain plan cost alone. Read the blog post, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the EXPLAIN PLAN Part 14: Damn the Cost, Full Speed Ahead.
 Q: Can you go over the "optimized" query and explain the differences?
A: When you call in to Auto Tune and/or SQL Optimizer, we display the original vs. the alternatives side by side. We show the original query text vs. the rewrite and places where we may have added hints, for example. We also show side by side the original explain plan vs. the rewrite explain plan. So you can see at a glance all the major differences.

Police augmented reality program under development
A new strategy could have law enforcement personnel in the Netherlands wearing high tech devices.
Law enforcement in the Netherlands are looking to a new high tech police augmented reality system to help them to fight crime. The Dutch national police has been collaborating with several other organizations in this effort. It may mean that they one day use the Microsoft Hololens during a regular day.
The Dutch police have identified a string of different ways in which augmented reality could help them.
The police augmented reality project is the result of a collaboration among the national police force, the national fire brigade, the Dutch Forensic Institute, Delft University of Technology, and Twnkls, an AR development firm.
Police Augmented Reality - Police CarChief Inspector Rob Kouwenhoven spoke in an interview with a Dutch newspaper explaining that there are many scenarios in which augmented reality technology could be very helpful.
The police augmented reality technology is still in somewhat of a prototype phase as it is tested.
At the moment, the AR tech being tested out involves the use of a smartphone camera attached to the shoulder of the user. It also requires another device to be strapped to the wrist. That gadget can be used for taking notes about a crime scene or for marking evidence.
The national police force is currently looking into whether or not it will be possible to test the Hololens augmented reality device. That Microsoft gadget may be able to provide an overlay of relevant information to wearers conducting a forensic investigation. This has the potential to simplify the investigation process and bring a crime's various puzzle pieces together.
Kouwenhover pointed out that this AR tech could also be helpful within the courtroom. It could be used to reconstruct the scene of a crime in a much clearer and more visual way. At the moment, this effort requires a physical reenactment of the event in combination with a great deal of paperwork.
By using police augmented reality, a judge would be able to more clearly and realistically see what happened during the event. It could include the display of pieces of evidence and illustrated with digital animations and annotations overlaid on top of the crime scene imagery. Should things go as planned, the tech could be launched for police use in 5 years.
Magic Leap augmented reality demo draws praise and skepticism
The long awaited product demonstration has been accused of consisting of smoke and mirrors.
For a very long time, the industry has been waiting for the first Magic Leap augmented reality demonstration. There has been a great deal of secrecy surrounding the development of this brand's technology. This has allowed the hype to build substantially over the many months.
The augmented reality demonstration has gone viral over YouTube, promising an astounding experience.
What was known about the tech under development was that Magic Leap augmented reality was going to be different from anything else out there. The company has been promising to change the way we think of AR. With such dazzling promises, it was clear that anything produced would not be on market shelves at any time soon.
This concept was only reinforced when beta testers were given access to early versions of the tech concept and were required to use a considerable amount of hardware just to make it work.
Now that Magic Leap augmented reality demonstrations have been made, the brand is facing stiff criticism.
Nobody assumed that the Magic Leap marketing would be precisely what consumers would be seeing when the hardware was produced. However, the company is now being criticized for going far overboard in their simulations. The public was promised an unbelievable experience and that's exactly what the demo is suggesting might be the case – it's not to be believed.
The video made to simulate what Magic Leap would have to offer included the work of a special effects firm. This set expectations very high and may make it very difficult for the brand to be able to deliver. The March 2015 viral video took in 3.5 million views. However, reports quoting former employees of the company revealed that the game illustrated in the video didn't actually exist.
The demonstration of the current Magic Leap augmented reality experience is less than mesmerizing. As much as it is still advanced, impressive tech, it continues to rely on a large and clunky helmet that uses a number of cables to wire it to a powerful computer. The goal is to one day compress that tech to hardware that is more "spectacle-like".

Scientific studies have suggested that a wandering mind indicates unhappiness, whereas a mind that is present in the moment indicates well-being. Now, a preliminary UCSF study suggests a possible link between mind wandering and aging, by looking at a biological measure of longevity.
In the study, telomere length, an emerging biomarker for cellular and general bodily aging, was assessed in association with the tendency to be present in the moment versus the tendency to mind wander, in research on 239 healthy, midlife women ranging in age from 50 to 65 years.
Being present in the moment was defined as an inclination to be focused on current tasks, while mind wandering was defined as the inclination to have thoughts about things other than the present or being elsewhere.
According to the findings, published online on Nov. 15 in the new Association for Psychological Science journal Clinical Psychological Science, those who reported more mind wandering had shorter telomeres, while those who reported more presence in the moment, or having a greater focus and engagement with their current activities, had longer telomeres, even after adjusting for current stress.
Telomeres are the DNA-caps that protect the ends of chromosomes, preventing them from deteriorating or fusing with neighboring chromosomes. Telomeres typically shorten with age and in response to psychological and physiological stressors. In research pioneered at UCSF, scientists have discovered that telomere shortness predicts early disease and mortality.
As the study assessed mind wandering and telomeres at the same time, the researchers don't yet know whether mind wandering leads to shorter telomeres, whether the reverse occurs, or some common third factor is contributing to both.
Mindful meditation interventions, which promote attention on the present with a compassionate attitude of acceptance, lead to increases in some aspects of health. Previous studies have found that they are associated with increased activity of an enzyme known as telomerase, which is responsible for protecting and in some cases, replenishing telomeres.
Along with the new UCSF study, these findings support the possibility that a focus on the present may be part of what promotes health measurable at the cellular level, the researchers said.
"Our attentional state—where our thoughts rest at any moment - turns out to be a fascinating window into our well-being. It may be affected by our emotional state as well as shape our emotional state," said Elissa Epel, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and lead author on the study. "In our healthy sample, people who report being more engaged in their current activities tend to have longer telomeres. We don't yet know how generalizable or important this relationship is."
Moving forward, Epel, along with Eli Puterman, PhD, a psychologist in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry, and colleagues are developing a series of classes to promote more mindful presence, to see if this intervention protects telomere maintenance or even lengthens telomeres.
In the current study, participants self-reported a tendency to mind wander, and were measured for aspects of psychological distress and well-being. The sample was highly educated and had a narrow range of both chronological age and psychological stress (most were low stress), all of which might have contributed to the ability to detect this relationship, Epel said.

Green Chemistry Education Network
The Green Chemistry in Education Workshop is for educators in the chemical sciences interested in incorporating green or sustainable chemistry concepts into the organic chemistry curriculum and laboratory.
This five-day workshop held on the University of Oregon campus will be a combination of lectures, discussion, and hands-on time in the laboratory. Leaders in the field will address the need for green chemistry in the undergraduate curriculum and provide strategies for designing, adapting and incorporating new green experiments into existing organic chemistry curricula. The primary goal for this workshop is establishing a network of chemical educators who are promoting green chemistry and increasing the number of educators who incorporate green chemistry experiments and concepts into their teaching.
During the lecture sessions, a panel of speakers will introduce green chemistry, discuss the adoption of green organic experiments and lecture materials, address the challenges and opportunities in green chemistry education, and provide advice on developing new green chemistry materials. Ample time will be made available for participants to discuss their own plans for adopting green chemistry with the lecturers and fellow participants.
During the laboratory sessions, participants will have an opportunity to perform and evaluate greener organic laboratory experiments developed at the University of Oregon and elsewhere. Educational materials used in teaching the green organic chemistry lab will be distributed during the workshop, including our recently published textbook, "Green Organic Chemistry: Strategies, Tools, and Laboratory Experiments," by Kenneth M. Doxsee and James E. Hutchison, published by Brooks/Cole. The Workshop speakers will be a diverse panel of scientists and educators who will present the latest trends in the green chemistry field based on their own experiences in either industry or academia. The Green Chemistry in Education Workshop will be held at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

Ferhad-bey Vuković-Desisalić built his mosque in 1561/1562.
Later a mahala took shape around it, known as Ferhadija. The mekteb, imaret, drinking fountain and ornamental fountain erected alongside the Ferhadija were burned down in fires in 1879 and 1897.
The Ferhadija mosque reflects the full maturity of the classical Ottoman style-domed mosque, portico with small domes, and beautiful built-on minaret.
Ferhadija Mosque, Sarajevo
Research works on the painted decoration inside the mosque carried out in the 1964/1965 revealed five painted layers dating from various periods.
The oldest and extremely valuable decorations of the first layer date from 16th century (in the dome, on the cornice and pendentives, the base of the corner calottes, the mihrab and the lunettes of the lower row of windows), belonging to the group known as Rumi ornament,m which were also to be seen in the Aladža mosque in Foča.
The next layers (on the calottes, central part of the mihra, and surface of the dome) consists of purely floral decorations with the features of 18th century style.
The third and fourth layers date from the late 19th century (1878), and the first quarter of the 20th.

A New Innovative Low Cost Manufacturing Process to Produce Titanium
All titanium is produced by the Kroll process, which is a batch process for the magnesium (Mg) reduction of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). Separate operations are required to produce the toxic and very corrosive TiCl4, which must be stored and transported. Magnesium also is produced separately in liquid form via the electrolysis of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), which requires storage and transport of liquid Mg as well as handling the chloride gas produced. The Kroll-produced titanium sponge is a 50-year-old mature process that is expensive, thus limiting the utilization of titanium in spite of its most desirable properties of light weight, corrosion resistance, and high mechanical properties. A wholly new process is proposed to produce titanium powder that utilizes the basic proven Kroll-type chemistry but is performed in situ, which eliminates the need for external sources of Mg and TiCl4. Because no separately produced Mg or TiCl4 is required, the environmental issues with producing Mg and TiCl4 are eliminated. The new one-step processing that does not require external feeds of Mg and TiCl4 offers the potential to produce titanium powder at one-half or less than the cost of a Kroll-produced sponge.

Secured Transactions: Priority: Purchase Money Security Interests (PMSI) Part 1 Podcast
The topic of this podcast is which party will prevail in a competition for collateral as between sellers or lenders having a purchase money security interest ("PMSI") and other creditors with a security interest in the debtor's assets. While secured parties might expect to prevail with respect to their collateral most of the time, those sellers and lenders that have a purchase money security interest also have expectations. This podcast will examine the nature of a PMSI and the rules that come into play to determine which creditor has priority under § 9-324. These rules are commonly tested on law school and bar examinations. A PMSI is simply a specific type of security interest. In order to attach the interest, the attachment rules of § 9-203 still apply, At the conclusion of this podcast, you should be able to (1) identify and describe what a PMSI is; (2) describe how a secured party can create and perfect a security interest in purchase money collateral; (3) explain the rules governing priority of PMSIs; and (4) apply the rules related to purchase money security interests, including those related to proceeds.

Kitchen Coos and Ewes
A farm experience in Southwest Scotland, showcasing a style of farming that's perfectly suited to Scotland's southern uplands.
Kitchen Coos & Ewes is run by Neale and Janet McQuistin, of Airyolland Farm.
Over the past decade they've changed the way they farm in response to changes in farming policy and also growing environmental concerns. In short, they've moved to a less intensive and more sustainable farming system; a style of farming that's perfectly suited to Scotland's southern uplands.
Highland cattle now graze the hills, and the grazing action of this beautiful native breed of cattle has many benefits, including supporting wildlife on the farm. They also stock one of the UK's newest breeds of sheep, Beltex, which make very efficient use of the grass that grows in the in-bye fields. That mix of ancient and modern breeds ensures all parts of the farm are being used to best effect.
The farm is situated in the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere which has been recognised internationally as a world class environment for people and nature. The UNESCO Biosphere designation is in recognition of the fantastic array of landscapes, wildlife, cultural heritage and learning opportunities that southwest Scotland offers for communities, businesses and visitors to experience in a sustainable way.
They are proud to be part of this amazing initiative and are committed to working with others towards achieving the shared aims and ambitions for this fantastic part of the world. The farm, the livestock and the environmental measures they carry out are all a very good fit with the overall aims of the Biosphere.
Providing tourism experiences is something that's quite new, but it's an important part of supporting the local community. Encouraging tourism to this rural corner of Scotland is one of the aims of the New Luce Community Trust, and they are pleased to play a role in putting this wee community on Scotland's tourism map.

How to Create the Simplest Friendship Model on Rails
Engineering is about dividing problems into smaller partials. And then solving them with the best approach. As an engineer, I enjoy problem-solving.
In this article, you will learn how to create friendships on Rails. In the most basic form, this is far away from perfection. But totally working. You can find the GitHub repository link at the bottom of the page to dive deeper into the code. In the repository, you will also find very simple session management.
After reading this article you will have an understanding of friendships on Rails.
When you want to create a rails app with user friendship interaction, you have to decide what your final product will be. There are many different ways to form a friendship model. In this project we are choosing this model:
1-) Users are allowed to send a friendship invitation to other users.
2-) Users can accept or reject the invitation that is coming from another user.
2a. Accepting ->Will update a record column from false to true
2b. Rejecting -> Will delete the record.
3-) Unfriending will delete the record
We will have a User model, and an Invitation model.
Let's focus only on friendship details. The invitation model will have only three columns(by the way, keep in your mind that the Rails is always giving you 3 more columns by default: id as primary key, and 2 timestamps).
Those columns are: user_id, friend_id, and confirmed. user_id and friend_id are both referencing back to the users table(User model).
When I am sending an invitation to my friend: user_id will be my id and friend_id will be my… well, you got that! And confirmed will be false by default.
This means an invitation is starting to wait to be accepted or rejected at the moment it got created. When the invitation is rejected, the row is gonna be deleted. When it is accepted the row is gonna be updated, confirmed: from false to true.
Any record with true value in the confirmed column means that those two ids are friends now.
Any record with a false value in the confirmed column means that user_id is waiting for friend_id to accept/reject his/her invitation.
Let's run these three different commands on command line:
After this command we need to add
to our migration file. Right after this line:
Let's go to our model files, first: app>models>user.rb
Hold on there, I am explaining one by one…
Our user has many invitations. This means A user object will respond to the "invitations" call.
Our user has many pending invitations. Yes, try to stick with plain English, this will help a lot! This means the same thing, A user object should respond to the "pending_invitations" call. And we have options here. First option is a scope, this tells ruby to look for records only has "false" value on pending column. The other option is the "class_name". We are adding this because rails can't find the related class from the "pending_invitations". So I am telling rails "Hey, I want this call on my object and go look for this in that class". Rails going to the Invitation class and fetch all the records with specific user_id and confirmed values.
So what am I going to do with this call? On every users' page, I want to list the people who sent an invitation to that user. Very useful!
We have instance methods. And of course, we have a "friends" method. This will return all the friends of a user in an array. I am not proud of what I do inside this method, but it is working 😃.
In the "friend_with?" method, we are returning a boolean value.
This is useful when you want to do things with the logic of friendship. For example, show the posts if they are friends, don't show otherwise.
With the "send_invitation" method we are sending invitations.
With these very simple 5 interaction tool, we are done in the User model. Let's go to the second one, the Invitation model.
app>models>invitation.rb
Nothing fancy, in 4 steps we will go through this.
Every invitation belongs to a user. Plain English. Very tasty. Haha! Long live DHH! 😅 Long live Matz! 😅
After this point, as you realize, we have three class methods. Because I want them to be usable regardless of Invitation objects.
Starting with the "reacted?" method we are questioning if two of the given ids have any records in our table.
In some situations, you need to know this. For example, you want to show a button for an invitation and you have to know if the two ids have any record in the invitations table. If they have a record then you don't want to show the button because now you know something! Those two users are in either of the following phases:
1-) Some of them sent an invitation to the other one and waiting for a decision.
2-) They are already friends.
In both cases, we can't create another record. So we are hiding our button with the information that is coming from this awesome method ".reacted?".
Another class method is the confirmed_record?(..). We are using this method in the User model. This method is basically checking a confirmed record for two given ids.
The last method is find_invitation(). We are using this method to find the invitation record of two given ids. Useful when deleting a confirmed relationship.
Now we can run the migrations with:
And enter the rails console with:
You can create new users, send invitations, accept them with update methods, reject them with delete methods.
Furthermore, you can see the friends of a specific user, see the pending invitations, see the invitations that user sent, and more.
Well, I hope this helps you.
Keep in mind this is one of the many approaches.
There are more simple ones and more elaborate ones.

I've read that July of 1916 was the sunniest month ever recorded in Chicago, logging 95 percent of possible sunshine. Did the sunshine recorders in use then follow use today's standards?
--George Ballas, Morton Grove
Retired Chicago weather observer Paul Kubecka found that the instrument for measuring solar irradiance in 1916, the Maring-Marvin sunshine recorder (in use in Chicago until 1953) was less sensitive than today's version. It required.37 langleys to initiate the recording of sunshine compared with to the current World Meteorological Organization standard of.17 langleys. It also had a slower response time, taking up to 10 minutes before beginning to log sunshine at sunrise and sunset and during passing cloudy intervals. If weather conditions were identical, today's instrument would have recorded a higher sunshine percentage than the 1916 version.

This painting shows Nyoongar men and youth gathered together on a veranda discussing cultural and community matters. This meeting would have occurred during the Native Title case depicting an elder sitting in the background listening and passing wisdom.
It talks about the different considerations impacting upon cultural survival such as the education of our youth, respect for elders, the creation of positive roles for our men, the inﬂuence of Western religion and strong community governance. When the Western Australian Government appealed against the landmark High Court Native Title decision on the grounds that Nyoongar people had no continual practiced culture and were a fragmented community prior to colonialism, it was a direct attack upon Nyoongar people's cultural survival and demonstrated the legal and social barriers Aboriginal people must still overcome in Australia today. For when Aboriginal people can claim land in capital cities such as Perth, then the way we are viewed socially, historically and economically must also change. It seems that the only way we can challenge power structures and to enforce social justice for our people is through the Western legal system in this country.

Ricci, P The role of the density gradient on intermittent cross-field transport events in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma _URL_ _URL_ Intermittent cross-field particle transport events (ITEs) are studied in the basic toroidal device TORPEX [TORoidal Plasma EXperiment, A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006)], with focus on the role of the density gradient. ITEs are due to the intermittent radial elongation of an interchange mode. The elongating positive wave crests can break apart and form blobs. This is not necessary, however, for plasma particles to be convected a considerable distance across the magnetic field lines. Conditionally sampled data reveal two different scenarios leading to ITEs. In the first case, the interchange mode grows radially from a slab-like density profile and leads to the ITE. A novel analysis technique reveals a monotonic dependence between the vertically averaged inverse radial density scale length and the probability for a subsequent ITE. In the second case, the mode is already observed before the start of the ITE. It does not elongate radially in a first stage, but at a later time. It is shown that this elongation is preceded by a steepening of the density profile as well. ©2008 American Institute of Physics 2008-05-29T10:14:04Z _URL_ _URL_

Chapter 4. Scaling storage nodes
download PDF
To scale the storage capacity of OpenShift Container Storage, you can do either of the following:
 - Scale up storage nodes - Add storage capacity to the existing Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes
 - Scale out storage nodes - Add new worker nodes containing storage capacity
4.1. Requirements for scaling storage nodes
Before you proceed to scale the storage nodes, refer to the following sections to understand the node requirements for your specific Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage instance:
Warning
Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity.
If storage ever fills completely, it is not possible to add capacity or delete or migrate content away from the storage to free up space. Completely full storage is very difficult to recover.
Capacity alerts are issued when cluster storage capacity reaches 75% (near-full) and 85% (full) of total capacity. Always address capacity warnings promptly, and review your storage regularly to ensure that you do not run out of storage space.
If you do run out of storage space completely, contact Red Hat Customer Support.
4.1.1. Supported Deployments for Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage
 - User-provisioned infrastructure:
 - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
 - VMware
 - Bare metal
 - Installer-provisioned infrastructure:
 - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
4.2. Scaling up storage capacity
Depending on the type of your deployment, you can choose one of the following procedures to scale up storage capacity.
4.2.1. Scaling up storage by adding capacity to your OpenShift Container Storage nodes on AWS or VMware infrastructure
Use this procedure to add storage capacity and performance to your configured Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes.
Prerequisites
 - A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform
 - Administrative privileges on the OpenShift Web Console
Procedure
 1. Navigate to the OpenShift Web Console.
 2. Click on Operators on the left navigation bar.
 3. Select Installed Operators.
 4. In the window, click OpenShift Container Storage Operator:
 ocs installed operators
 5. In the top navigation bar, scroll right and click Storage Cluster tab.
 OCS Storage Cluster overview reachit
 6. The visible list should have only one item. Click (⋮) on the far right to extend the options menu.
 7. Select Add Capacity from the options menu.
 OCS add capacity dialog menu
 From this dialog box, you can set the requested additional capacity and the storage class. Add capacity shows the capacity selected at the time of installation and allows to add the capacity only in this increment. On AWS, the storage class should be set to gp2. On VMWare, the storage class should be set to thin.
 Note
 The effectively provisioned capacity will be three times as much as what you see in the Raw Capacity field because OpenShift Container Storage uses a replica count of 3.
 8. Click Add. You can see the status of the storage cluster after it reaches the Ready state. You might need to wait a couple of minutes after you see the Ready state.
Verification steps
 1. Navigate to Overview Persistent Storage tab, then check the Capacity breakdown card.
 ocs add capacity expansion verification
 2. Note that the capacity increases based on your selections.
Important
OpenShift Container Storage does not support cluster reduction either by reducing OSDs or reducing nodes.
4.2.2. Scaling up storage by adding capacity to your OpenShift Container Storage nodes using local storage devices
Use this procedure to add storage capacity (additional storage devices) to your configured local storage based OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes on bare metal, Amazon EC2 I3, and VMware infrastructures.
Important
Scaling up storage on Amazon EC2 I3 is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
Note
For Amazon EC2 I3 infrastructure, adding nodes is the only option for adding capacity, as deployment is done using both the available NVMe devices.
Prerequisites
 - You must be logged into OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster.
 - You must have installed local storage operator. For information, see Installing Local Storage Operator.
 - You must have three OpenShift Container Platform worker nodes with the same storage type and size attached to each node (for example, 2TB NVMe drive) as the original OCS StorageCluster was created with.
Procedure
 1. To add storage capacity to OpenShift Container Platform nodes with OpenShift Container Storage installed, you need to
 1. Find the unique by-id identifier for available devices that you want to add, that is, a minimum of one device per worker node. Follow procedure finding available storage devices.
 Note
 Make sure you perform this process for all the existing nodes (minimum of 3) for which you want to add storage.
 2. Add unique device by-id.
 $ oc edit -n local-storage localvolume local-block

To study the flow characteristics of gravity based separation between oil and water using CFD AWWA D100 tool. Also, suggest an optimum design for the fixed oil skimmer based on the study.
For multi-phase modeling, there are two approaches for the numerical calculation: the Euler-Lagrange approach and the Euler-Euler approach. In this study for design of internals in the Water balance tank, Euler-Lagrange approach is employed, since the dispersed secondary phase volume fraction is very low. The simulation uses Euler- Lagrange approach to model oil droplets. The oil droplet trajectories are computed individually at specified intervals during the water phase calculation.
It is observed, the flow inside the tank makes a circular pattern where the flow velocities are higher at the periphery of the Skim Tank and the velocities reduce as the flow moves radially towards the center of the tank. This kind of flow pattern increases the residence time of oil particles inside the tank, hence improving the flow separation efficiency of the ITS Tanks. The size of nozzles, orientation and other internals are sufficient to meet design guarantee for the Skim Tank.
