Bitcoin and blackouts fuel anti-Chinese sentiment in Iran
Some Iranians do not seem to be very keen on China and its nationals. There are a wide range of possible reasons, from the cheap and mostly low-quality Chinese products once imported to Iran and their devastating impact on the businesses of local Iranian producers to the Chinese fishing trawlers ruining the livelihoods of local fishermen in southern Iran.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which originally broke out in China, was the last nail in the coffin, and increased unfavorable views of China to historic highs in Iran, as in almost all other parts of the world. But few people would have guessed the latest reason for Sinophobia in Iran: bitcoin.
In recent weeks, Iranian power plants have been forced to switch to burning low-grade fuel oil to generate power because a sharp rise in the country's domestic consumption has led to natural gas shortages. This severely increased air pollution in Tehran and other megacities, increasing public anger toward the government.
Several plants were later shut down after the government ordered a temporary ban on the use of low-grade fuel oil after pollution increased to dangerous levels. However, that resulted in blackouts in various cities, including Tehran.
Already suffering from economic woes and price hikes caused by the U.S. sanctions and government mismanagement, the COVID-19 pandemic, the severe air pollution and now the blackouts, many people were outraged to learn that the Chinese are supposedly devouring the country's electricity in their bitcoin mining farms, especially a big one in the city of Rafsanjan in Kerman province, southeast of Iran.
Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying bitcoin transactions for the reward of the cryptocurrency — it requires a large amount of computing power, and thus electricity.
"Social media do their job. [Now] the majority of people are informed that the blackouts are caused by China's bitcoin mining," an Iranian user said on Twitter, posting her tweet with the hashtag _TAG_.
The anti-Chinese sentiments gradually reached boiling point, and many Iranians took to social media to angrily criticize the government for its failure to meet the people's basic need for electricity while "giving away" the country's power to Beijing.
"When we said we are China's colony, some people felt offended. Now you can see all these bitcoin mining farms. Because of that, you neither have power nor business," a user tweeted, using the hashtag _TAG_.
"We thought Iran is no longer an 'orphanage.' Now the Chinese are using Iran's electricity to mine bitcoin, and have literally destroyed our local fishing in the Persian Gulf with their fishing trawlers. Those who once wore shrouds to protest against capitulation have now gifted the country to China," Iranian political commentator Ehsan Soltani said in a tweet, which he posted along with a video of the Chinese mining farms in Iran.
"China comes to Iran to mine bitcoin, each of which is worth $40,000; then we [Iranians] have to wear warm clothes in a dark house while we are breathing mazut (fuel oil). Isn't that beautiful?" said a user on Twitter, complaining about the severe air pollution in Iranian megacities, which has been mainly caused by the use of low-quality fuel oil in power plants.
Another user sarcastically pointed to the Iranian government's call for less energy consumption in both cold and hot seasons, writing, "Consume less electricity in winter so that our Chinese Communist brothers would be able to mine bitcoin, and consume less electricity in summer so that our Iraqi brothers would experience no power cuts. Apparently only we Iranians are redundant in Iran."
"There's a power cut in our company now, and … because of China's damn bitcoin mining I'll have to work extra hours today," said another user.
A user even went beyond that and expressed his anti-Chinese sentiments with a racist tweet: "I don't care if I'm called a racist. But now I hate any person with monolid eyes, and I'm going to support hatemongering against them as far as I can."
Majid-Reza Hariri, the head of Iran-China Joint Chamber of Commerce, believes the rumors about the power shortage are being spread by those who are against the expansion of Tehran-Beijing trade relations and use any challenge and incident to blame China for Iran's problems.
"It's far from reality that certain groups try to point the fingers at China whenever something happens in Iran by launching massive campaigns. When people are experiencing blackouts, and suddenly a strange video is released of the infrastructure of a Chinese company to make a fuss about the issue, it shows that a particular group is trying to deal a blow to these bilateral collaborations," Hariri told the semi-official news agency ISNA.
He said the Chinese miners have obtained all the official permissions and licenses and are indeed importing Iranian electricity. "Giving power to bitcoin mining farms is a form of electricity export, as the government is charging [the Chinese] based on international rates, earning an acceptable profit from this cooperation."
The photo of a power bill with an extremely huge price tag, issued for a customer named "Iran and China Investment Company," has gone viral in recent days. The power bill, which apparently belongs to the Rafsanjan mining farm operated by the Chinese, indicates that the miners have used 58,615,905 kWh of electricity in one month, for which they have to pay over 270 billion rials (some $1.2 million).
The revenues seem to be life-saving for the Iranian government whose exports have been severely hit by the U.S. sanctions. However, charity begins at home, or as a similar Iranian proverb says, you should "never kill the lights at home to light up the mosque."
Faced with widespread protests, especially on social media, the government finally announced on Jan. 14 that it has halted its supply of electricity to all cryptocurrency mining farms, including the ones operated by the Chinese, for two weeks in a bid to prevent further blackouts.
That has so far worked, and Iranians have not experienced further power cuts. But were the blackouts really caused by the Chinese bitcoin mining in the first place?
Iran's Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi says the total power consumption of legal and illegal bitcoin mining farms across the country is estimated to be around 515 MW.
In the first full week of January, Iran's electricity consumption hit the record-high level of 40,000 MW. So the electricity used by the Chinese bitcoin farmers is a tiny fraction of the country's total power consumption, and does not seem to be significant at all.
The Iranian government appears to have calmed down the public dissatisfaction for now, but it must look for the real causes and driving forces of such anti-Chinese sentiments, especially considering its plans for long-term strategic cooperation with Beijing.
If the Islamic Republic wants its Sinophilic "Look East" strategy to work, it first needs to convince the frustrated population it rules over that the country's national interests would be better served through strategic ties with China, not Europe and the United States.

From The Sterling Journal-Advocate:
There already are six projects being pursued in the South Platte Basin to extend the water supply. These are not included in the recent South Platte Storage Survey, but have been considered and under way for some time:
- The NISP/Glade project — The Northern Integrated Supply Project is a proposed water storage and distribution project that will supply 15 Northern Front Range water partners with 40,000 acre-feet of new, reliable water supplies.
- Chimney Hollow Reservoir — A 360-foot high dam that will hold 90,000 acre feet to help supply the thirsty Thompson Valley urban area. The water will come from the Windy Gap Project, a diversion dam and pumping station completed in 1985 to provide extra irrigation and municipal water out of the Colorado River. The water originally was stored in Grand Lake, but when that is full, the water cannot be stored. Chimney Hollow, also known as the Windy Gap Firming Project, solves that problem.
- Halligan reservoir enlargements — Halligan Reservoir near Fort Collins is about 100 years old. Its capacity is about 6,400 acre feet of water and the City of Fort Collins wants to add 8,125 acre feet to the reservoir by raising its dam about 25 feet.
- Milton Seaman Reservoir enlargement — Greeley originally had wanted to expand Seaman Reservoir in conjunction with Halligan, but because of diverging goals Greeley withdrew from the joint project. The expansion of Seamon now is targeted for design in 2028 and construction by 2030.
- Gross Reservoir enlargement — Gross Reservoir is one of 11 reservoirs supplying water to the City of Denver and surrounding urban areas. It is on the city's Moffat System, which diverts water from the Western Slope to the metro area. Denver Water has proposed raising the dam height by 131 feet, which will allow the capacity of the reservoir to increase by 77,000 acre feet.
- Chatfield Reallocation Plan — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined that Chatfield Reservoir, built primarily for flood control after the 1965 South Platte River flood, can accommodate an additional 20,600 acre feet of water storage for water supply without compromising its flood control function. This additional storage space will be used by municipal and agricultural water providers to help meet the diverse needs of the state. No actual construction is required, but the legal, environmental, and engineering concerns of allowing the reservoir to hold more water all have to be satisfied.

The Siege of Vellore was an intermittent series of sieges and blockades conducted during the Second Anglo-Mysore War by forces of the Kingdom of Mysore against a British East India Company garrison holding the fortress at Vellore, located in the present-day Indian state of Tamil Nadu. First besieged in 1780, Mysore's ruler Hyder Ali eventually reduced the siege to a blockade due the need for troops elsewhere. The blockade was ineffectively maintained until 1782 before being abandoned. The British successfully resupplied the garrison of Colonel Ross Lang four times.

How Funeral Directors In Sydney Help You Cope With A Loved One's Death
Struggling with the loss of a family member or close friend can be the most difficult challenge one can experience. When you lose a spouse, parent or sibling, you'll feel that the grief is so intense. The loss of a loved one may be part of living in this world, however, it can make us confused and shocked, which makes us really sad and depressed. But we need to move on and plan with funeral directors in Sydney for the funeral and disposal of our beloved.
Everyone can have various reactions to death and has its own coping mechanism with grief. Studies shows that people can recover on their own as time passes by especially if they have a social support and healthy habits. The pain hurts and will need months to a year to recover. Depending on how you've arranged the deceased's funeral, the funeral directors in Sydney can help you prepare an interment that will ease out the grief that you're feeling over your dead loved one.
If you had a difficult time with the deceased, it can add another dimension to the grieving process. You may take a while before you adjust to the loss and look back at the relationship.
People are naturally flexible as they are able to endure loss and pursue with their own lives. But there are also those who cope with grief for a longer time and will feel unable to perform regular activities. The grief can be so severe and complicated, that it makes them end depressed. A psychologist or a licenced psychiatrist can guide them through with the grief and restore their mental health.
How Professionals Can Help
Psychologists and psychiatrists can help people experiencing fear, guilt and anxiety associated with the death of a loved one. If you need assistance in handling your grief or managing a loss of a loved one, approach a psychologist or psychiatrist for an expert advice.

Aviation safety analysis is increasingly needed in regulating air traffic and safety, in light of the rapid growth in air traffic density. With the recent advances in computer technology, large amounts of multivariate aviation safety data are now routinely collected in databases. Many existing analysis methods prescribed in those databases and corresponding safety indictors are based on classical statistical analysis, and their applicability are considerably restricted by the requirement of normality. An alternative nonparametric methodology based on data depth is pursued in this paper. For a given multivariate sample, a data depth can be used to measure their depth or outlyingness with respect to the underlying distribution. The measure of depth leads to a center-outward ordering of the sample points. Derived from this ordering, Liu (1995) introduced a simple, yet effective, control chart for monitoring multivariate observations. The control chart is combined here with properly chosen false alarm rates to develop meaningful threshold systems for multivariate aviation safety data for both regulating and monitoring purposes. The developed procedure is applied to the aviation inspection results collected by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspection system. The threshold system serves as a standard for evaluating the performance of aircraft operators, and provides clear guidelines for identifying unexpected performances and for assigning appropriate corrective actions.

V588. The expression of the 'A =+ B' kind is utilized. Consider reviewing it, as it is possible that 'A += B' was meant
The analyzer detected a potential error: there is a sequence of '=+' characters. It might be a misprint and you should use the '+=' operator.
Consider the following example:
size_t size, delta;... size=+delta;
This code may be correct, but it is highly probable that there is a misprint and the programmer actually intended to use the '+=' operator. This is the fixed code:
size_t size, delta;... size+=delta;
If this code is correct, you may remove '+' or type in an additional space to prevent showing the V588 warning. The following is an example of correct code where the warning is not generated:
size = delta; size = +delta;
Note. To search for misprints of the 'A =- B' kind, we use the V589 diagnostic rule. This check is implemented separately since a lot of false reports are probable and you may want to disable it.


SQL SERVER – Fillfactor, Index and In-depth Look at Effect on Performance
I would like to start this post with an interesting question:
Where in MS SQL Server is "100" equals to "0"? And I am not talking about data types now..
Today I will be presenting the answer to this question and some topics related to it.
Creating Indices in SQL Server is one of the most important tasks of any SQL DBA. Performance of your database is directly depends on your skills and proficiency in creating and maintaining the right number and quality of indices..
As a DBA, you can use "FILLFACTOR," which is one of the important arguments that can be used while creating an index.
Now, the answer to the above mentioned question–
Fill-factor settings of 0 and 100 are equal!
Points to remember while using the FILLFACTOR argument:
1. If fill-factor is set to 100 or 0, the Database Engine fills pages to their capacity while creating indexes.
2. The server-wide default FILLFACTOR is set to 0.
3. To modify the server-wide default value, use the sp_configure system stored procedure.
4. To view the fill-factor value of one or more indexes, use sys.indexes.
5. To modify or set the fill-factor value for individual indexes, use CREATE INDEX or ALTER INDEX statements.
6. Creating a clustered index with a FILLFACTOR < 100 may significantly increase the amount of space the data occupies because the Database Engine physically reallocates the data while building the clustered index.
More about FILLFACTOR
According to MSDN, FILLFACTOR specifies a percentage that indicates how much the Database Engine should fill each index page during index creation or rebuild.
Fill-factor is always an integer valued from 1 to 100. The fill-factor option is designed for improving index performance and data storage. By setting the fill-factor value, you specify the percentage of space on each page to be filled with data, reserving free space on each page for future table growth.
Specifying a fill-factor value of 70 would implies that 30 percent of each page will be left empty, providing space for index expansion as data is added to the underlying table.
The empty space is reserved between the index rows rather than at the end of the index.
The fill-factor setting applies only when the index is created or rebuilt.
The SQL Server Database Engine does not keep the specified percentage of empty space in the pages AFTER the index is created. Trying to maintain the extra space on the data pages would be counterproductive because the Database Engine would have to perform page splits to maintain the percentage of free space specified by the fill factor on each page as data is entered. What it means for you as SQL DBA is that when you set FILLFACTOR at 80 and create Index with these settings, your index has 20% space to grow freely without need for page splits that affect the performance!
You can avoid serious performance issues by providing extra space for index expansion when data is added to the underlying table,.Usually, when a new row is added to a full index page, the Database Engine moves approximately half the rows to a new page to make room for the new row. This is known as a page split.
While making room for new records, page split can take time to perform; it is a resource intensive operation. Also, it can cause fragmentation that leads to increased I/O operations. When frequent page splits occur, it is advisable to rebuild the index while setting an appropriate fill-factor value to redistribute the data. Although a low fill-factor value (>0) may reduce the page splits as the index grows, the index may require more storage space. It will keep creating new, "half-empty" pages, and it can eventually impair performance of your "SELECTs". For example, a fill-factor value of 50 can cause database read performance to decrease by two times. Read performance is decreased because the index contains more pages, thus increasing the disk IO operations required to retrieve the data. Specifying a fill factor other than the default can decrease database read performance by an amount inversely proportional to the fill-factor setting.
Summary
It is recommended to keep default fill-factor for the databases that have prevalence of SELECT queries running against them such as in Data Warehouses, and it is highly advisable to consider changing your default fill-factor settings if you are managing database with a large number of INSERT and UPDATE queries hitting it. In such databases, a nonzero fill factor other than 0 or 100 can be good for performance if the new data is evenly distributed throughout the table.
Consider a situation wherein the existing rows are updated with data that lengthens the size of the rows; for instance, scenarios when you add extra columns to the table. You should consider the use of a fill factor that is less than 100. The extra space on each page will help to minimize page splits caused by extra length in the rows. However, if all the data is added to the end of the table, the empty space in the index pages will not be filled. For example, if the index key column is an IDENTITY column, the key for new rows is always increasing and the index rows are logically added to the end of the index. In such a situation, you should set your FILLFACTOR to 100.
Here is a quick video about how to change fill factor:

 - my table having bulk recovery model and clustered index. now i insert bulk amount of data what haapen
 Reply
 - Hello Pinal
 You gave this code in another post:
 DECLARE @TableName VARCHAR(255)
 DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(500)
 DECLARE @fillfactor INT
 SET @fillfactor = 80
 DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
 SELECT OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME([object_id])+'.'+name AS TableName
 FROM sys.tables
 OPEN TableCursor
 FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
 WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
 BEGIN
 SET @sql = 'ALTER INDEX ALL ON ' + @TableName + ' REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR = ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(3),@fillfactor) + ')'
 EXEC (@sql)
 FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
 END
 CLOSE TableCursor
 DEALLOCATE TableCursor
 GO
 Is there any way to identify a Clustered index with Identity column in order to set Fill Factor to 100 automatically?

The Anthony Forge Collection of Balinese Paintings (early 19th century – 1970s)
Top marks for the incidental collection
The Australian Museum holds one of the world's most significant collections of Balinese paintings. This is one of the few anthropology collections that allow the Museum to claim high international status. This collection of 160 paintings is arguably the best documented, mainly because Professor Anthony Forge, who assembled the collection, comprehensively studied the painting tradition in Bali in the 1970s. Collecting paintings was not intended, but it grew organically during his fieldwork as a useful means of engaging with the artists-informants and as a vivid illustration of this evolving tradition. So the collection was simply a minor part of an extensive anthropological study, documenting and attempting to understand the tradition of Balinese 'visual narratives'. As his intention was to document stylistic and iconographic change over time, Forge purchased a considerable variety of paintings. Some of the early 19th century paintings were obtained from community temples, while the newest, produced in the 1970s, were purchased or commissioned directly from artists.
Balinese paintings reflect a unique practice of story-telling in a codified context of the Balinese brand of Hindu mythology. This permeates every aspect of life, spiritual, ideological, social and political, defining distinctive Balinese culture. Curiously, this codified system allows ample room for recombining narratives and symbols to comment on current social and political issues and even to challenge established norms. In this way Balinese culture is evolving and adapting to new situations, without relinquishing its distinct identity.
Paintings are the visual reflection of these complex narratives and the meaning is derived from stories and the contexts in which they are told. Paintings don't conform neatly to the western concept of art. They are primarily functional, to be used in private and public shrines, as well as more secular contexts. Moreover, in his seminal research, Anthony Forge shifted attention from upper casts to the commoners (Sudra). This radically expanded our understanding of paintings and Balinese culture.

parent 762d4db2
......@@ -270,4 +270,150 @@ Remove the exposed value.
If a Mu function is called via its exposed value, this instruction returns the
attached cookie. Otherwise it returns an arbitrary value.
Metacircular Client Interface
=============================
These are additional instructions that enables Mu IR programs to behave like a
client. For conciseness, the prefix "@uvm.meta" is often omitted in this section
of the document when unambiguous.
Some types and signatures are pre-defined. They are always available. Note that
the following are not strict text IR syntax because some types are defined in
line::
.typedef @uvm.meta.bytes = hybrid <int<64> int<8>> // ID: 0x260
.typedef @uvm.meta.bytes.r = ref<@uvm.meta.bytes.r> // ID: 0x261
.typedef @uvm.meta.refs = hybrid <int<64> ref<void>> // ID: 0x262
.typedef @uvm.meta.refs.r = ref<@uvm.meta.refs.r> // ID: 0x263
.funcsig @uvm.meta.trap_handler.sig = void (stackref int<32> ref<void>) // ID: 0x264
.funcsig @uvm.meta.undef_func_handler.sig = void (int<32> ref<void>) // ID: 0x265
In ''bytes'' and ''refs'', the fixed part is the length of the variable part.
''bytes'' represents a byte array. ASCII strings are also represented this way.
ID/name conversion
------------------
- ''[0x250]@uvm.meta.id_of (%name: @uvm.meta.bytes.r) -> int<32>''
- ''[0x251]@uvm.meta.name_of (%id: int<32>) -> @uvm.meta.bytes.r''
''id_of'' converts a textual Mu name ''%name'' to the numerical ID. The name
must be a global name.
''name_of'' converts the ID ''%id'' to its corresponding name. If the name does
not exist (if defined in binary only, or it is an instruction without name), it
returns ''NULL''. The returned object must not be modified.
They have undefined behaviours if the name or the ID in the argument do not
exist, or ''%name'' is ''NULL''.
Bundle/HAIL loading
-------------------
- ''[0x252]@uvm.meta.load_bundle (%buf: @uvm.meta.bytes.r)''
- ''[0x253]@uvm.meta.load_hail (%buf: @uvm.meta.bytes.r)''
''load_bundle'' and ''load_hail'' loads Mu IR bundles and HAIL scripts,
respectively. ''%buf'' is the content. The first 4 characters in ''%buf''
determines whether it is binary or text.
Stack introspection
-------------------
- ''[0x254]@uvm.meta.cur_func_Ver (%stack: stackref, %frame: int<32>) -> int<32>''
- ''[0x255]@uvm.meta.cur_inst (%stack: stackref, %frame: int<32>) -> int<32>''
- ''[0x256]@uvm.meta.dump_keepalives (%stack: stackref, %frame: int<32>) -> @uvm.meta.refs.r''
''cur_func_ver'' returns the ID of the frame. Returns 0 for native frames.
''cur_inst'' returns the ID of the current instruction of the frame. Returns 0
if the frame is just created or the frame is native.
''dump_keepalives'' returns an list of references. There are as many elements as
there are keep-alive variables. Each reference has type ''ref<T>'' where T is
the type of the corresponding keep-alive variable. The returned list and the
objects pointed to must not be modified. Must not be used on native frames.
''%stack'' and ''%frame'' selects a frame in the stack ''%stack''. 0 is the top,
1 is the next top, ... ''%stack'' must not be null.
On-stack replacement
--------------------
- ''[0x257]@uvm.meta.pop_frame (%stack: stackref)''
- ''[0x258]@uvm.meta.push_frame <[sig]> (%stack: stackref, %func: funcref<sig>, ...)''
''pop_frame'' pops the top frame of the stack ''%stack''.
''push_frame'' creates a new frame on top of the stack ''%stack'' for the Mu
function ''%func''. ''%func'' must have the signature ''sig''. There are many
arguments after ''%func''. Each will be an argument to ''%func''. Their types
must match the argument types of ''%func''.
The function's return type must match the expected return type of the previous
frame.
''%stack'' and ''%func'' must not be ''NULL''.
Watchpoint operations
---------------------
- ''[0x259]@uvm.meta.enable_watchpoint (%wpid: int<32>)''
- ''[0x25a]@uvm.meta.disable_watchpoint (%wpid: int<32>)''
''enable_watchpoint'' enables all watchpoints of watchpoint ID ''%wpid''.
''disenable_watchpoint'' disables all watchpoints of watchpoint ID ''%wpid''.
Trap and undefined function handling
------------------------------------
- ''[0x25b]@uvm.meta.set_trap_handler (%handler: funcref<@uvm.meta.trap_handler.sig>, %userdata: ref<void>)''
- ''[0x25c]@uvm.meta.set_undef_func_handler (%handler: funcref<@uvm.meta.undef_func_handler.sig>, %userdata: ref<void>)''
These instructions register trap handlers and undefined function handlers,
respectively. ''%handler'' is the function to be called and ''%userdata'' will
be their last argument when called.
A trap handler takes three parameters:
1. The stack where the trap takes place.
2. The watchpoint ID, or 0 if triggered by the ''TRAP'' instruction.
3. The user data, which is provided when registering.
A trap handler is run by the same Mu thread that caused the trap and is
guaranteed to run on a different stack from the one that caused the trap.
A trap handler *usually* terminates by either executing the ''@uvm.thread_exit''
instruction (probably also kill the old stack before exiting), or ''SWAPSTACK''
back to another stack while killing the stack the trap handler was running on.
An undefined function handler takes two arguments:
1. The ID of the function.
2. The user data.
The undefined function handler runs on a different stack by a different thread
than that caused this event.
When the undefined function returns, the old function call or the ''NEWSTACK''
instruction is tried again.

The current situation in many areas of Syria has led Mosaic Syria to search for alternative solutions to provide education to students deprived of basic education. This vision materialized in the form of an education project "Anamel" which started in 2012. The aim of "Anamel" education project is to enable students to go back to school and obtain the opportunity to build their future, through establishing many schools in different areas in Syria.
"Anamel" means 'fingertips' in the Arabic language that represent the idea that the future of Syria can be 'drawn by the fingertips and achievements of its students'. "Anamel" education project is playing a significant role in the future development of many children and in creating employment opportunities for the local teachers in many areas.
Hidden costs of accessing education are plenty. Transportation costs, books, uniforms, daily pocket money that discourages a large number of families living in poverty to send their children to school. Additionally, the majority of the country's schools has been destroyed or being used as shelters for the displaced people, and many teachers are unable to teach. Therefore, there was, and still is, an urgent need to provide emergency education to these students who are unable to pursue their studies and access education.

At Boston Children's Hospital, our orthopedic and plastic surgery teams know how concerned you are that your baby has a congenital forearm difference. It may put your mind at ease to know that we've developed innovative surgical and non-surgical treatments for children with all degrees of severity of radioulnar synostosis. Learning more about this condition will help you feel more confident and in control as we treat—and work toward healing—your child.
What is radioulnar synostosis?
Congenital radioulnar synostosis is a rare congenital difference in which there's an abnormal bony or soft tissue connection between the two bones of the forearm—the radius and the ulna.
What signs or symptoms might my child have?
Radioulnar synostosis can be mild to severe. Signs and symptoms of your child's condition can range from a minor to a major limitation in her ability to rotate her arm from a pronated (palms down) position to a supinated (palms up) position. She may also carry her elbow at an abnormal angle or have a shortened forearm.
Your child's doctor will know by physical exam and x-rays that your baby has radioulnar synostosis. The doctor will refer you to an orthopedic surgeon, who will guide you to a more detailed diagnosis and treatment plan.
Can radioulnar synostosis be associated with other conditions?
Yes, radioulnar synostosis can occur as part of an underlying syndrome or with other developmental abnormalities, such as:
 - other skeletal abnormalities (about one-third of the time)
 - problems of the heart, kidneys, nervous system or gastrointestinal system
 - certain genetic syndromes, such as Holt-Oram syndrome (also called hand-heart syndrome) and fetal
 alcohol syndrome
How does congenital radioulnar synostosis happen?
When your baby is still in the womb, her upper limb develops between the fifth and eighth week of gestation. Initially, the radius and ulna bones are connected. Then, separation occurs and the individual radius and ulna bones form. Congenital radioulnar synostosis results if these bones don't separate during this time.
Why does it happen?
While most cases of congenital radioulnar synostosis occur by chance (sporadically), about one in five cases is associated with a family history of the same condition.
Congenital radioulnar synostosis can also occur as part of an underlying syndrome or with other developmental abnormalities.
How common is radioulnar synostosis?
The exact incidence of this condition is unknown. Boys and girls are equally affected, and about 60 percent of patients have the condition in both arms.
Does radioulnar synostosis cause my child pain?
No, radioulnar synostosis isn't usually painful for a baby. But if left untreated or undiagnosed, teens may begin experiencing pain if the top of the radius (radial head) becomes dislocated.
How is radioulnar synostosis diagnosed?
Your child's doctor will do a thorough medical history and careful physical examination. X-rays and/or CT scans may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
In more serious cases, forearm rotation is much more limited and obvious, so the diagnosis can be made at an earlier age—typically around age 6.
Questions to ask your doctor
show_more_start
If your child is diagnosed with radioulnar synostosis, you may feel overwhelmed with information. It's easy to lose track of the questions that occur to you. Lots of parents find it helpful to jot down questions as they arise—that way, when you talk to your child's doctors, you can be sure that all of your concerns are addressed.
Some of the questions you may want to ask include:
 - What is happening to my child, and why?
 - What do the x-rays reveal? How serious is my child's condition?
 - What actions might you take after you review my child's condition?
 - Is surgery necessary? Are there alternative therapies?
 - Will my child be OK after surgery?
 - Will my child recover full function of her arm? Will it look OK?
 - Will there be restrictions on her activities or capabilities?
 - What will be the long-term effects?
 - What can we do at home?
For parents
Many parents whose babies are born with radioulnar synostosis feel frustrated that the birth of their child didn't turn out the way they'd dreamed it would. Your child's treatment and recovery may be fairly easy. Or, the journey may be more complicated—requiring surgery and care for your child as she grows.
Even though you understand the importance of therapy for your child, you still might experience her treatment and care as a stressful time. If you feel frustrated or depressed, speak to your doctor or counselor to get help. Professionals in Children's Center for Families can provide you with important resources and referrals.

text: Wheat enzyme genes to reduce nitrogen pollution Nitrogen pollution from the overuse of artificial sources continues to be a major concern globally. Researchers have successfully cloned a gene that is highly instrumental in upgrading the efficiency of nitrogen utilisation in wheat. Climate Change and Environment © Shutterstock The overuse of fertiliser chemicals, in particular nitrogen, to boost crop yields has come under fire for two main reasons. First, direct pollution by nitrates and second, that fertiliser is usually a fossil-fuel derived product. Moreover, nitrogen is a rate-limiting and expensive element in plant growth. The EU has addressed these two threats to the environment by the Nitrates Directive and the CAP reforms respectively. Progressive enforcement will almost certainly mean a drop in the price of cereal, but may also result in a decrease in crop yield with all the attendant consequences for farmers. Scientific research funded by the EU has been promoted to help the industry to mitigate these effects. One way to address both inherent problems is to increase the nitrogen using efficiency of crops. Under the auspices of the appropriately named SUSTAIN project, partners have achieved a vital step in boosting nitrogen utilisation in wheat. The enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS) is involved with pathways that increase the efficiency of nitrogen use. Accordingly, project partners at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Denmark found and classified ten GS sequences from wheat into four sub-families. Using a combination of genomic, mapping and inheritance studies, the scientists found that there were four distinct clades when GS genes from other monocotyledonous species were included. The scientists then went on to clone the isolated GS genes. This was the first time these sequences had been identified and copied. The team then made them publicly available through the nucleotide sequence database, Genbank. This research represents a possible basis of the responsible production of transgenic crops. Cloning valuable genes for mineral utilisation in a range of crops stands to benefit the health, environment and economy of Europe as well as developing countries.


either 'url' or 'imageRepository' changes, the running producer
// will cancel and will be re-launched with the new inputs.
return produceState<Result<Image>>(initialValue = Result.Loading, url, imageRepository) {
// In a coroutine, can make suspend calls
val image = imageRepository.load(url)
// Update State with either an Error or Success result.
// This will trigger a recomposition where this State is read
value = if (image == null) {
Result.Error
} else {
Result.Success(image)
}
}
}
derivedStateOf
derivedStateOf is a composable that can be used to derive new state based on the values of other state variables. It is useful when you need to compute a value that depends on other values, and you want to avoid recomputing the value unnecessarily.
Here's an example of how to use derivedStateOf:
@Composable
fun MyComponent() {
var email by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
val isValidEmail = remember {
derivedStateOf {
isEmailValid(email)
}
}
}
In the example, we declare a Composable function called MyComponent that has two mutable state variables called firstName and lastName. We then use derivedStateOf to create a new state variable called fullName , which concatenates the values of firstName and lastName. Whenever firstName or lastName changes, derivedStateOf recomposes the composable and updates fullName. Finally, we use the Text composable to display fullNamederivedStateOf is useful for computing derived state variables that depend on other state variables, without recomputing the derived state unnecessarily.
snapshotFlow
snapshotFlow is a function that allows you to create a flow that emits the current value of a state object, and then emits any subsequent changes to that object. This can be useful for creating reactive UIs that respond to changes in state, without having to manually manage callbacks or listeners.
Here's an example of how snapshotFlow can be used in Compose:
@Composable
fun MyComponent() {
val count = remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val countFlow = snapshotFlow { count.value }
LaunchedEffect(countFlow) {
countFlow.collect { value ->
// Handle the new value
}
}
Button(onClick = { count.value++ }) {
Text("Clicked ${count.value} times")
}
In this example, MyComponent creates a mutable state object using mutableStateOf(0)snapshotFlow is then called with a lambda that returns the current value of the state object. The resulting countFlow flow emits the current value and any subsequent changes to the state object.
LaunchedEffect is used to collect from the countFlow flow, ensuring that the collection only occurs when the component is active and stops when it's removed. Finally, a Button is used to update the state object when clicked.

If Kaspersky products show detection notifications about wpad.dat, wpad.domain.name, Trojan.Script.Agent.dc and etc, then read the information below:
There exists something called WPAD or Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol, it's designed to pinpoint the location of the necessary configuration file, called the pac-file. Usually such location would look like this: wpad.domain[.]name/wpad.dat. Experienced users will understand that this "location" is actually a DNS suffix.
A lot of routers/modems are preset that DNS suffix.
This isn't new, this has been used for 20 years now.
Using a DNS suffix like that means that it is theoretically possible for a mal-wisher to change the file at its location, and eventually have it loaded into the user's system, thus setting up an unwanted proxy server, and intercept browsing data.
Follow these steps:
- Try to connect to the Internet via some other Internet connection, for example, via mobile hot spot. Or try to connect without router. Will there be a detection?
- If there is no detection after step 1: please reset router to default settings then connect again to the Internet via router.
- Also update firmware on the router, if there is a newer version is available on the router manufacturer site. Change password of the router.
- If points 2 and 3 do not solve the problem and point 1 fix problem, then this router is not recommended for use. Or contact the support of the router manufacturer.

asteroids has traditionally been described using only gravitational and frictional forces within a granular material. Cohesive forces in the form of small van der Waals forces between constituent grains have recently been predicted to be important for small rubble-pile asteroids (less than 10 kilometers in size), and could potentially explain how small fast spinning asteroids remain intact. It is possible to infer the existence of cohesive forces within a rubble-pile asteroid by determining if it has insufficient self-gravity, dictated by its bulk density, to prevent rotational breakup by centrifugal forces. The kilometer-sized and potentially-hazardous asteroid (29075) 1950 DA is one of the largest known candidates for being held together by cohesive forces, as it has a rotation period of 2.1216 h that is just beyond the critical spin limit of 2.2 h estimated for a cohesionless asteroid. Using the Advanced Thermophysical Model (or ATPM), in combination with the radar shape model, WISE thermal-infrared data, and Yarkovsky orbital drift measurement, we determined the thermal inertia, bulk density, and cohesive strength of (29075) 1950 DA (Rozitis et al., 2014, Nature, 512, 174-176). The thermal inertia value is remarkably low at 24 +20/-14 SI units, which gives a corresponding bulk density of 1.7 ± 0.7 g/cm^3 in the Yarkovsky orbital drift analysis. This bulk density is typical of a rubble-pile asteroid, and a minimum cohesive strength of 64 +12/-20 Pa is therefore required to prevent surface mass shedding and structural failure by centrifugal forces. This strength is comparable to, though somewhat less than, the cohesive forces found between the grains of lunar regolith. Finally, as (29075) 1950 DA has a 1 in 19,800 chance of impacting the Earth in 2880, and has the potential to disrupt like main-belt comet P/2013 R3, it raises new implications for impact mitigation against fast spinning rubble-pile asteroids.
 16. Kinetics of chromatid aberrations in G2 ataxia-telangiectasia cells exposed to X-rays and ara A
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 The cytogenetic effects of X-rays alone or in combination with 9-β-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara A) were studied in an immortalized fibroblastic line of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) cells. It is postulated that the kinetics of disappearance (rejoining) of chromatid deletions with postirradiation incubation time reflects the underlying repair of dsb, and is inhibited by ara A. The rejoining kinetics for deletions in A-T was similar to that found in a previous study of normal human fibroblasts (Mozdarani and Bryant 1987). The number of deletions in X-irradiated A-T cells at 1.5 h before fixation was found to be higher by a factor of approximately 2 than that found previously in normals, indicating that in A-T a higher rate of conversion of dsb into chromatid deletions occurs. The frequency of exchanges induced in G2 A-T cells was similarly enhanced but, unlike the situation in normal cells, ara A was found to cause only a slight increase in this frequency. (author)
 17. The effect of biological cohesion on current ripple development
 Science.gov (United States)
 Malarkey, Jonathan; Baas, Jaco H.; Hope, Julie
 2014-05-01
 Results are presented from laboratory experiments examining the role of biological cohesion, associated with Extra Polymeric Substances, on the development of current ripples. The results demonstrate the importance of biological cohesion compared to the effect of physical cohesion associated with clays in an otherwise sandy bed. FURTHER INFORMATION In fluvial and marine environments sediment transport is mainly dependent on the nature of the bed surface (rippled or flat) and the nature of cohesion in the bed. Cohesion can be either physical, as a result of the presence of clays, or biological as a result of the presence of organisms. In the case of the latter, biological cohesion occurs as a result of the presence of Extra Polymeric Substances (EPS) secreted by microorganisms. While it is known that EPS can dramatically increase the threshold of motion (Grant and Gust, 1987), comparatively little is known about the effect of EPS on ripple formation and development. The experiments described here seek to fill this gap. They also allow the effect of biological cohesion to be compared with that of physical cohesion from previous experiments (Baas et al., 2013). The experiments, which were conducted in a 10m flume at Bangor University, involved a current over a bed made of fine sand, with a median diameter of 0.148mm, and various amounts of xanthan gum, a proxy for naturally occurring EPS (Vardy et al., 2007). The hydrodynamic experimental conditions were matched very closely to those of Baas et al. (2013). The ripple dimensions were recorded through the glass side wall of the tank using time lapse photography. In the physical cohesion experiments of Baas et al. (2013) for clay contents up to 12%, the clay was very quickly winnowed out of the bed, leaving essentially clay-free ripples that developed at more or less the same rate as clean sand ripples. The resulting equilibrium ripples were essentially the same length as the clean sand ripples but reduced in height. By
 18. Comments on the transition between cohesive and cohesionless sediment bed exchange
 Science.gov (United States)
 Mehta, Ashish J.; Letter, Joseph V.
 2013-10-01
 The presence of both cohesive and cohesionless particles in estuarine and lacustrine sediments makes it essential to model bed exchange of both types of particles. The usual practice is to select a purely empirical estimate of particle diameter marking the transition between the two behaviors. Based on available data on particle erosion and deposition in non-oscillating flows and viscoplastic properties of bed sediment, we have attempted to examine the likelihood of identifying the transition diameter within a less empirical framework. From the relationship between diameter and bed shear stress for a variety of cohesive and cohesionless sediments, it appears that two transition diameters can be defined. One is the largest diameter of clay mineral particles at which cohesion is considered to vanish. The other is the smallest diameter at which cohesionless behavior is assumed to end at the limit of the well-known Shields' relationship extended to very fine particles. These two diameters appear to be reasonably close for mainly inorganic mineral sediments. Assuming they are equal, six zones of bed exchange are identified in terms of diameter and bed shear stress. Depending on these two variables, zones of only erosion, no erosion or deposition, and only deposition can be designated. Realistic modeling of bed exchange of multi-size sediments requires that the full range of diameters be considered. Extension of this analysis to organic-rich sediments is pending better understanding of their rheological properties.

 20. Britishness and Community Cohesion in Muslim News Online
 Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
 Hassen ZRIBA
 2013-12-01
 Full Text Available The issues of British national identity and social cohesion have become pressing concerns within the multicultural fabric of contemporary British society. The increasing number of immigrants and their offspring, along with the maintenance of their cultural roots, seem to represent a serious defiance to social cohesion and the alleged "purity" of Britishness. A number of race related reports were produced by the official authorities to churn out the necessary steps to be followed by the British (immigrants and host community in order to keep social stability and community cohesion. Thus, the politics of community cohesion came to the fore as the neologism of contemporary British political discourse. Such new discourse of governance has been digested and processed differently by different mass media. It has been decoded, for instance, preferably by mainstream news agencies like BBC News Online. However, arguably, it is read appositionally or at best negotiatedly by ethnicity-related news agencies such as Muslim News Online. In this article, attempt has been made to adopt media discourse analysis tools to decipher the ways Muslim News Online decoded and then encoded the hegemonic official discourses of Britishness and community cohesion. A critical and interpretative approach is used to accomplish such study. The corpus of this study is primarily extracted from the website of the Muslim News Online.

In this paper we propose the clustering of top-ranking sentences (TRS) for effective information access. Top-ranking sentences are selected by a query-biased sentence extraction model. By clustering such sentences, we aim to generate and present to users a personalised information space. We outline our approach in detail and we describe how we plan to utilise user interaction with this space for effective information access. We present an initial evaluation of TRS clustering by comparing its effectiveness at providing access to useful information to that of document clustering.

Constable Street Community Allotment
Name of lead: Lausanne Tranter
Name of group/organisation: Constable Community Allotment / Friends of Constable Street Fields
Address: Constable Street, Hull, HU3 3DF
Open to the public? YES
What are the opening times? Always worth getting in contact first to check, as opening can be weather dependent, but in general: Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00am to roughly 4:00pm.
About Constable Street Allotment
This oasis of calm and quiet industry is based in the Boulevard area of Hull. The half-acre site is home to open veg plots, two large polytunnels, cob oven, iron-age inspired roundhouse and accessible composting toilet.
As well as an edible hedgerow, herb garden, small orchard, pond area and forest garden, there is an open meadow area that can be used for public events, teaching and workshops. They do not use chemicals or synthetic fertilisers and use permaculture principles to work in harmony with nature.
What was the inspiration at the very beginning?
Lausanne has been involved with Transition and Permaculture Hull for over a decade. Initially they took on a plot of unused land next to the Western Library on Boulevard. When the library was redeveloped, this land was taken over by Groundwork and now exists as the Western Library's garden.
The success of that first project led to the establishment of a small garden on Constable Street as part of the play area there, which then became a children's allotment. Unfortunately, this was prone to vandalism and theft, and the need for a more secure area to continue the work became apparent.
How has this changed over time?
A constituted group 'Friends of Constable Street Field' was formed, and an approach was made to Hull City Council to develop a derelict area next to the field that had been used to store building contractor's equipment. As it was already fenced, it provided the necessary security to be able to set up an allotment. The council were happy to oblige as the land had no further use, and gave them the keys to the gates. They have now been working on this site since October 2015, turning the disused half-acre site into a productive area growing fruit and vegetables. Approximately one year into the project, John Pickles joined Lausanne and provided much needed support and advice in developing the allotment into a multi-use space with a variety of different growing projects.
As a community allotment, it has been host to many events, including the annual Seed Swap and Hull Feastival. The meadow area is large enough to take small marquees, and has hosted music by Tenfoot Ukes and The Beats Bus during community open days. The focus has always been on growing and sharing advice and information, as well as providing veg
boxes (for a donation) and free food to those who need it. Engagement with the local community is at the heart of the principles of the allotment and they are always willing to teach people who have an interest in growing and food production.
Did lockdown have an impact?
They welcome volunteers, but like many other groups, could not open to the public during the lockdown period which means that much of the growing year for 2020 was lost. This has coupled with unusual weather conditions to produce vegetables at points where they should be going dormant over the winter period.
Despite this, they are now open to those who are interested, but need to observe COVID-safe protocols such as the rule of 6 in order to protect everyone's health.
Who do they engage with on a regular basis?
There are a small number of local residents who come to help out when they can, some of whom do it to benefit their physical and mental health through social prescribing.
Who would they like to engage with?
The desire now is to get more regular volunteers who can dedicate substantial time to help get the allotment back to how it was before lockdown occurred.
They would also like to see more children and young people attending, to spread the love of growing and eating different types of fruit and vegetable as well as feel they have a place they can come to that is a safe and welcoming space.
What are their aspirations for the future?
To secure continuation funding as the ultimate aim is for Constable Street Allotment to become a Permaculture Land Learning Site, and to be able to employ an assistant site manager who can work towards earning the Permaculture Design Certificate or Diploma. This would help establish the future of the allotment for future generations and be part of the sustainable food growing network within Hull.
They also want to further develop a veg box scheme that people can sign up to receive for a weekly/monthly donation. This would help cover basic running costs.

Sag Harbor is about three fifths in Southampton and two fifths in East Hampton. The dividing line is Division Street which becomes Town Line Road just south of the village. Most of the defining landmarks of the village — including its Main Street, the Whalers Church, Jermain Library, Whaling Museum, the Old Burying Ground, Oakland Cemetery, Mashashimuet Park, and Otter Pond are in Southampton. However, almost all the Bay Street marina complex, including Sag Harbor Yacht Club and Breakwater Yacht Club, at the foot of Main Street, is in East Hampton, as are the village's high school, the Sag Harbor State Golf Course, and the freed slave community of Eastville.
Sag Harbor was settled sometime between 1707 and 1730. The first bill of lading using the name Sag Harbor was recorded in 1730. While some accounts say it was named for neighboring Sagaponack, which at the time was called "Sagg", Sagaponack and Sag Harbor both got their name from a tuber the Metoac Algonquins raised. One of the first crops that was sent back to England, the tuber-producing vine is now called the Apios americana. The Metoac called it sagabon. That is how the harbor and neighboring village got its name. Such namings were not unusual. Tuckahoe in Westchester County, about 80 miles (130 km) from Sag Harbor, got its name from the aboriginal term for the Peltandra virginica, the Arrow Arum.
The port supplanted the East Hampton community of Northwest which is about 5 miles (8 km) east of Sag Harbor. International ships and the whaling industry had started in Northwest, but its port was too shallow. The most valuable whale product was whale oil which was used in lamps; thus it could be said that Sag Harbor was a major oil port.
During the American Revolutionary War, American raiders under Return Jonathan Meigs attacked a British garrison on May 23, 1777, on a hill at what today is the Old Burying Ground next to the Whaler's Church, killing six and capturing 90 British soldiers in what was called Meigs Raid.
During the War of 1812, the British attacked the village on July 11, 1813, but were driven back.
Relics of this period include the Old Whaler's Church, a Presbyterian church that sported a 168-foot-high (51 m) steeple which was claimed to be the tallest structure on Long Island when it opened in 1843. The steeple collapsed during the Great Hurricane of 1938.
The Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum owns and occupies the handsome, 1845 Greek Revival home designed by Minard Lafever for whaling merchant Benjamin Huntting II. The Masonic Lodge (Wamponamon 437) occupies the second floor and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008. The museum is open to the public, and the staircase alone is worth a visit.
The design of the Whaler's Church and the Masonic Temple are attributed to prominent 19th century American architect Minard Lafever. The broken mast monument in Oakland Cemetery is the most visible of several memorials to those who died at sea.
The whaling business collapsed after 1847, initially with the discovery of other methods to create kerosene, with the first being coal oil. The discovery of petroleum in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859 sealed the end. Many of the ships based in Sag Harbor were sailed to San Francisco where they were simply abandoned during the California Gold Rush. The last whaleship — the Myra — sailed from Sag Harbor in 1871.
One sailor who continued on other endeavors was Mercator Cooper who sailed out of Sag Harbor on November 9, 1843, on the Manhattan on a voyage that would make him the first American to visit Tokyo Bay. Aboard the ship was Pyrrhus Concer, a former slave who was the first black man the Japanese had seen. Cooper's adventures were to continue on another voyage out of Sag Harbor when on January 26, 1853, sailing the Levant, he became the first person to set foot on East Antarctica.
During World War I the E.W. Bliss Company tested torpedoes in the harbor a half mile north of the village. As part of the process, Long Wharf in Sag Harbor was reinforced with concrete, and rail spurs were built along the wharf as the torpedoes were loaded onto ships for testing. The torpedoes were shipped via the Long Island Rail Road along Sag Harbor to the wharf which was owned by the railroad at the time. Among those observing the tests was Thomas Alva Edison. Most of today's buildings on the wharf, including the Bay Street Theatre, were built during this time. The torpedoes which did not have live warheads are occasionally found by divers on the bay floor.
Various industries have operated locally, the last of which was the Bulova Watchcase Factory, which closed in 1981.
Sag Harbor was author John Steinbeck's residence from 1955 until his death in 1968.
The Sag Harbor-North Haven Bridge, renamed The LCpl Jordan Haerter Veterans' Memorial Bridge in November 2008, is notable as the site of Pop artist Ray Johnson's presumed suicide in 1995 as well as two abortive suicide attempts by monologist Spalding Gray, in September 2002 and October 2003.
Sag Harbor is located at (40.996603, -72.292190).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2), of which 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2) is land and 0.54 square miles (1.4 km2), or 22.44%, is water.
As of the census of 2010, there were 2,313 people, 1,120 households, and 583 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,345.1 people per square mile (519.2/km²). There were 1,942 housing units at an average density of 1,129.4 per square mile (435.9/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 85.78% White, 7.44% African American, 0.52% Native American, 0.95% Asian, 2.72% from other races, and 2.59% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.31% of the population. As of the most recent Census in 2010 there are now 2,423 village residents.
There were 1,120 households out of which 18.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 39.6% were married couples living together, 9.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 47.9% were non-families. 40.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 18.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.06 and the average family size was 2.81.
In the village the population was spread out with 16.5% under the age of 18, 5.4% from 18 to 24, 25.4% from 25 to 44, 28.6% from 45 to 64, and 24.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 91.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.8 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $52,275, and the median income for a family was $70,536. Males had a median income of $41,181 versus $34,750 for females. The per capita income for the village was $40,566. About 1.8% of families and 4.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.9% of those under age 18 and 3.8% of those age 65 or over.
"Sag Harbor's earliest newspapers published little in the way of local news. Concentrating instead on a story, sermon, and both national and international events. It is likely that folks learned all the local gossip and goings on at the general store barber shop, or on the street corner," wrote noted local historian Dorothy Zaykowski, in her book Sag Harbor – The Story of an American Beauty.
It wasn't until The Corrector was first published in 1822 that Sag Harbor had a well-established community paper. According to Zaykowski, Henry Wentworth Hunt arrived in

ProcedureHow to Check Quota Consistency
The quotacheck command is run automatically when a system is rebooted. You generally do not have to run the quotacheck command on an empty file system with quotas. However, if you are setting up quotas on a file system with existing files, you need to run the quotacheck command to synchronize the quota database with the files or inodes that already exist in the file system.
Also keep in mind that running the quotacheck command on large file systems can be time-consuming.
Note –
To ensure accurate disk data, the file systems being checked should be quiescent when you run the quotacheck command manually.
 1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
 2. Run a consistency check on UFS file systems.
 # quotacheck [-va] filesystem
 (Optional) Identifies the disk quotas for each user on a particular file system.
 Checks all file systems with an rq entry in the /etc/vfstab file.
 Specifies the file system to check.
 See the quotacheck(1M) man page for more information.
Example 7–4 Checking Quota Consistency
The following example shows how to check quotas for the /export/home file system on the /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 slice. The /export/home file system is the only file system with an rq entry in the /etc/vfstab file.
# quotacheck -va

Aggregating CAC Using Data Blending
By January 15, 2020August 19th, 2020No Comments
Welcome to our Measuring Metrics That Matter Series! Today we'll be discussing CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) and its components.
In our last article, we talked about where to find spend on various marketing platforms, and what that looks like aggregated.
Now we're continuing with that and going deeper…
Table Of Contents
 1. Formulas
 2. Data Blending
 3. CAC Formula
 4. New Customer Data
 5. CAC Dashboard & Analysis
 6. Further Actions
1. Formulas
We've already explained some of the simple calculations a marketer can do when they have the "spend" metric.
For a quick review, they're down below.
Formulas That Use "Spend" In Daily Marketing Use
 - Profit= RevenueSpend
 - (CPC) Cost Per Conversion = Total Spend/ Number of Conversions
 - (CPE) Cost Per Engagement = Total Spend/ Total Measured Engagements
 - (CPM) Cost Per Thousand = (Total Spend/ Total Measured Impressions) * 1000
 - Ad Rank = Max CPC * Quality Score (Google Adwords)
In terms of finding the total spend, we've said before that we would get that information from our various marketing platformsInstagram, Facebook, Linkedin, Google Adwords, and Bing for example.
Then we can aggregate similar platforms' cost and separate those into buckets such as "Paid Search" and "Paid Social".
An example is shown below (in the live version it would be possible to see by date).

After you have it in neat buckets, there's so many types of other data you can blend it with! If you need a refresher on what data blending is, here's a quick guide as to why it's so useful.
2. Data Blending
The beauty in data blending is that you can create new calculations based on metrics unique to you and your company. This is valuable stuff and can change your marketing strategy for the better.
Why would we want to do that?
Based on that information, we can see how our marketing strategy is doing as a whole. From there we can tailor it to our customers' needs.
If our strategy is working, we can figure out how to do more. If not, we can see from new data where the bottleneck is.
In this article, we're going to grab metrics from different data sources and blend them to calculate CAC. This is the new calculation we are creating using blended data.
Let's learn more about it!
3. CAC Formula
The CAC formula, like the ones shown above, is an important marketing formula. It also uses spend as a component.
CAC= [Spend]/[New Customers]
What does it mean?
It tells us the cost to acquire a new customer.
The beauty of using this formula in a dashboard is that we can get a quick snapshot of CAC across all of our advertising channels or wherever we are using spend.
And we can get this information for the timeline we choose, whether it's 1 month or 12 months, across all platforms. This instant data is what makes dashboards so powerful.
How would this work for CAC?
We've already talked about where to get spend from in the last article. Now let's talk about which data sources we would use to pull our new customer information from.
4. New Customer Data
Our new customer data can be captured from a variety of sources. It depends on what type of company it is, what it sells and what types of software it uses.
Here's a table of some potential sources.
data blending
These are just some of the types of sources you can use for new customer information. Other sources could be Traditional Marketing (Tradeshows & Conferences) as well as Email Marketing (Marketo, Eloqua).
The great part is that whether you're selling products online, getting leads, or getting paid for a subscription revenue model, all of that is able to be tracked and analyzed.
Most importantly, conversion tracking needs to be enabled so that you as a marketer are able to see how your direct-response campaigns are doing.
This means that your tags need to be set up using tracking software, and that your UTMs are formulated the correct way to track the same campaign in multiple platforms.
If you need help, this is something PenPath can help you with.
Here are some other tips on how to make direct-response campaigns effective.
data blending Source: Google
If you have everything set up correctly, it will only make sure that your dashboard data is clear and easy to understand.
Let's go back to our CAC formula and see how it can be visualized in a PenPath dashboard.
5. CAC Dashboard and Analysis
The dashboard below uses the CAC formula mentioned above.
For this dashboard, we used a CRM to get new customer information. For most large businesses and B2B organizations this will be the case.
However, it doesn't necessarily need to be from there. For smaller organizations and eCommerce companies, there are of course other sources.
data blending
Source: PenPath
When looking at a dashboard, it's important to brainstorm some potential questions to ask. Here are some questions we would ask for this one:
 - What month had the highest CAC vs. the lowest CAC?
 - Are our new customers growing, decreasing, or staying the same over time?
 - Which channel are we generally spending the most on?
 - How about the least?
 - Does that change from month-to-month or stay the same?
 - What does this tell us about our strategy and if it's working or not?
In the next section, we'll see how this can be translated into an actual marketing strategy to get results.
6. Further Actions
The last question asked in the Dashboard & Analysis portion delved more into the action part of strategic marketing.
In other words, we're going from asking questions about the dashboard to asking questions on how we can improve our strategy.
How will this dashboard translate into results?
Based on what it shows, marketers could focus on different types of strategies.
In terms of getting leads, we could focus on prospecting, or identifying other potential customers and demographics.
In terms of getting more from online advertising, we could focus on retargeting or remarketing to people who have responded well to our served ads, or spent more time on the site.
The marketing strategy will be unique to each company, based on the company's needs.
Because a marketing strategy is custom for every business, it makes sense that its data and visualizations are as well.
After all, if you don't have analysis that's tailored to what metrics your company finds important, how can you create a solid marketing strategy?
(For more on creating a solid marketing strategy, our Part 1 and Part 2 series on the topic explains it well.)
This is why at PenPath, we help companies create dashboards unique to you.
As marketers and analysts, we have the know-how to be experts at the creative and analytical side of digital marketing.
A good dashboard can't come from bad data, so we help you set that up first.
We also create custom calculations and dashboards for companies based on highly technical needs, as well as streamlining the many marketing platforms out there for a cohesive solution.
If any of this sounds interesting, contact us for a pressure-free demo. We'll simply show you a live version of our dashboards (like the ones we showed above in the post).
Otherwise, keep reading our posts to understand how to stay at the forefront of marketing intelligence!

We use Postgres 9.3, we want to split a large database (evaluated final size will be > 100 T) on many servers. As our users already have a set of existing queries, we cannot use solutions like PL/Proxy. We would like to use the postgres_fdw contrib to externalize some part of the data.
To illustrate our problem, we created 2 foreign tables foreign_table_1 and foreign_table_2. As inheritance seems not available on foreign tables, we created an union view like this :
CREATE VIEW union_table (id, name) AS ( SELECT id, name FROM foreign_table_1 where id BETWEEN 1 AND 100000 UNION ALL SELECT id, name FROM foreign_table_2 where id > 100000 ) ;
The problem is that Postgres does not push the constraints into the query plan. For instance here both foreign tables are scanned :
postgres=# explain analyze select * from union_table where id = 1234; Append (cost=100.00..303.35 rows=5 width=8) (actual time=1.113..1.113 rows=0 loops=1) -> Foreign Scan on master_table_1 (cost=100.00..154.82 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.567..0.567 rows=0 loops=1) -> Foreign Scan on master_table_2 (cost=100.00..148.48 rows=4 width=8) (actual time=0.538..0.538 rows=0 loops=1) Total runtime: 1.876 ms (4 rows)
- Is it possible to push the WHERE clause into the query plan?
- Is it possible to use inheritance with postgres_fdw?
- Is there any other way to obtain a sharded table with Postgres?

Statement from the National Muslim Task Force & National Black Muslim COVID Coalition regarding Eid ul-Adha
The National Muslim Task Force & National Black Muslim COVID Coalition
July 27th, 2020
The National Muslim Task Force has issued statements throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, from the beginning of the pandemic, during the blessed month of Ramadan, and when masajids were beginning to reopen. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a major threat to the health of our nation, our community, and the world. Here in the United States, there are states that have seen a decline of cases, while other states are seeing large increases in the number of new cases each day. The National Muslim COVID-19 Task Force and the National Black Muslim COVID Coalition strongly recommend that Muslims nationwide continue to take necessary precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially during the Eid holiday.
- Continue to follow public health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing, wearing masks and staying at home, when possible
- Avoid large congregational prayers to decrease the risk of transmission.
- Recommend praying at home and only have the minimum number of people needed to establish prayer present at the masajids with precautions.
- Donate Zakat, Sadaqah, and Qurbani/Udhiyah to organizations that are supporting vulnerable communities in the United States, local masajids, and abroad.
Protecting human life is one of the fundamental objectives of Islamic Shari'ah, a guiding principle for the Task Force. These recommendations also align with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and state and local jurisdictions.
For vulnerable individuals (elderly, existing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, immunocompromised state), this disease continues to have a high mortality rate. Recently, there are more young people, less than age 50, who are becoming infected. The virus continues to cause a severe inflammatory response in children (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children or MIS-C) that has led to hospitalizations and even death. There is still no known cure or vaccine for COVID-19 and there is inconsistent testing across the United States.
In our history, there have been multiple documented instances where devotional acts such as daily and weekly congregational prayers, including those for funerals, Taraweeh and Eid were temporarily halted to avoid life-threatening, widespread danger from pandemics such as bubonic plague.
It is imperative for the American Muslim community to not let their guard down as COVID-19 continues to spread across the United States. While this pandemic continues to disrupt our daily social and religious norms, we must continue to be vigilant to ensure the safety of our families, neighbors, and communities, regardless of gender, race or school of thought.
For mosques that choose to open back up, we encourage them to fully comply with CDC and local public health guidelines. The National Muslim COVID-19 Task Force has issued a statement regarding how masajids should plan reopening in their communities. We also encourage that they be inclusive as they reopen and avoid discriminating based on gender or age.
The National Muslim COVID-19 Taskforce and the National Black Muslim COVID Coalition pray that Allah (SWT) continue to protect our essential workers, communities,, vulnerable populations, our country and the world from this pandemic and accepts our duas.
