using the built-in Computer Management (compmgmt.msc) graphic snap-in.
Open the Computer Management console on your file server (or connect to the server remotely from the management console running on your computer) and go to System Tools -> Shared Folders -> Open files. A list of open files on current SMB server is displayed on the right side of the window. The list contains the local path to the file, the name of the user account that opens the file, the number of locks and the mode in which the file is opened (Read or Write+Read).
List of Open Files on Windows Server 2012 R2 shared folders
You can get the same list of open files using the built-in openfiles.exe console tool. For example, using the following command you can get the Session ID, username and full local path to the open file:
openfiles /Query /fo csv |more
Openfiles cli tool to manage open files
When a user remotely accesses a folder or file in a shared network folder on the server, a new SMB session is created. You can manage open files using these session IDs.
You can display a list of open files on a remote server. For example, you need to list all open files in shared folders on the my-fs01 host:
openfiles /Query /s my-fs01 /fo csv The openfiles command also allows you to view the list of locally opened files. To use it, enable the "Maintain Objects List" option using the command: openfiles /local on, and reboot your server. After that, the openfiles command will display files opened by local processes (it is recommended to use this mode only for debugging purposes, since it can negatively affect server performance).
How to Find Out Who is Locking a File in a Shared Folder?
To identify the user who opened (locked) the filename.docx file on the shared network folder on the remote server my-fs01, run this command:
openfiles /Query /s my-fs01 /fo csv | find /i "filename.docx"The /i key is used to perform case-insensitive file search.
You can specify only a part of the file name. For example, you need to find out who opened an XLSX file containing "sales_report" in its name. Use the following pipe:
openfiles /Query /s my-fs01 /fo csv | find /i "sales_report"| find /i "xlsx"
Of course you can find this file in the Computer Management GUI, but it's less convenient (this console doesn't provide search feature).
How to Forcibly Close an Open File on a SMB Share?
To close an open file, find it in the list of files in Open File section and select Close Open File in the context menu.
close open file using computer managment console GUI
If there are hundreds of open files on your file server, it won't be easy to find the specific file in the console. It is more convenient to use the Openfiles command line tool. As we have already told, it returns the session ID of the open file. Using this session ID you can force close the file by resetting the SMB connection.
First, you need to find the session ID of the open file:
openfiles /Query /s my-fs01 /fo csv | find /i "farm"| find /i ".xlsx"
Disconnect the user from file using the received SMB session ID:
openfiles /Disconnect /s my-fs01 /ID 617909089
Openfiles - Disconnect user by session id
You can forcefully reset all sessions and unlock all files opened by a specific user:
openfiles /disconnect /s my-fs01/u contoso\john.smith /id *
Note. Forcibly closing a file opened by a client on an SMB server may result in the loss of unsaved data. Therefore, use the openfiles /disconnect command or the Close-SMBOpenFile cmdlet (discussed below) very careful.
Get-SMBOpenFile: Find and Close Open File Handlers Using PowerShell
New cmdlets to manage shares and files on an SMB server appeared in PowerShell version for Windows Server 2012/Windows 8. These cmdlets can be used to remotely close network connections to an open file.
You can get a list of open files using the Get-SMBOpenFile cmdlet. Close-SmbOpenFile is used to close/reset the connection to a remote file.
To display a list of open files on the Windows SMB server, run the command:
Get-SMBOpenFile
get-smbopenfile powershell cmdlet
The command returns the file ID, session ID and full file name(path).
You can display a list of open files with user and computer names (IP addresses):
Get-SmbOpenFile|select ClientUserName,ClientComputerName,Path,SessionID
powershell: list smb open files with usernames
You can list all files opened by a specific user:
Get-SMBOpenFile –ClientUserName "contoso\john.smith"|select ClientComputerName,Path
or from a specific computer/server:
Get-SMBOpenFile –ClientComputerName 192.168.1.190 | select ClientUserName,Path
You can display a list of open files by pattern. For example, to list all exe files opened from the shared folder:
Get-SmbOpenFile | Where-Object {$_.Path -Like "*.exe*"}
or open files with a specific name:
Get-SmbOpenFile | Where-Object {$_.Path -Like "*reports*"}
The Close-SmbOpenFile cmdlet is used to close the open file handler. You can close the file by ID:
Close-SmbOpenFile -FileId 4123426323239
But it is usually more convenient to close the file by name:
Get-SmbOpenFile | where {$_.Path –like "*annual2020.xlsx"} | Close-SmbOpenFile -Force
With the Out-GridView cmdlet, you can make a simple GUI form for finding and closing open files. The following script will list open files. You should use the built-in filters in the Out-GridView table to find open files for which you want to reset the SMB sessions. Then you need to select the required files and click OK. As a result, the selected files will be forcibly closed.
Get-SmbOpenFile|select ClientUserName,ClientComputerName,Path,SessionID| Out-GridView -PassThru –title "Select Open Files"|Close-SmbOpenFile -Confirm:$false -Verbose
powershell gui script to close open files using out-gridview
How to Close Open Files on Remote Computer Using PowerShell?
The Get-SMBOpenFile and Close-SmbOpenFile cmdlets can be used to remotely find and close open (locked) files. First, you need to connect to a remote Windows SMB server via a CIM session:
$sessn = New-CIMSession –Computername my-fs01 You can also connect to a remote server to run PorwerShell commands using the PSRemoting cmdlets: Enter-PSSession or Invoke-Command.
The following command will find the SMB session for the open file pubs.docx and close the file session.
Get-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $sessn | where {$_.Path –like "*pubs.docx"} | Close-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $sessn
Confirm closing of the file by pressing Y. As a result, you have unlocked the file. Now other users can open it.
PowerShell Get-SMBOpenFile - Close-SMBOpenFile
To remove the confirmation of force closing a file on a SMB server, use the -Force key.
With PowerShell, you can close SMB sessions and unlock all files that a specific user has opened (a user went home and didn't release the open files). For example, to reset all file sessions of the user mjenny, run this command:
Get-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $sessn | where {$_.ClientUserName –like "*john.smitch*"}|Close-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $sessn

We present a method for measuring the complete linear response, including amplitude, phase, and polarization, of a fiber-optic component or assembly that requires only a single scan of a tunable laser source. The method employs polarization-diverse swept-wavelength interferometry to measure the matrix transfer function of a device under test. We outline the theory of operation to establish how the transfer function is obtained. We demonstrate the enhanced accuracy, precision, and dynamic range of the technique through measurements of several components.

Digital simulation models have become increasingly important to innovation processes. When used within organisations intent on innovating products, processes or services, the affordances of these technologies can enable the possibility to explain, experiment, and predict complex systems. As complex tools, however, models must become integrated into a social context characterised by differences in technical knowledge about when, how, and why the models are useful. In this paper, we draw on our experiences studying the labour of digital modelling work over the past 10 years to discuss some of the important social mechanisms through which models come to be trusted by stakeholders, and, consequently, integrated into innovation processes. By comparing three very different contexts we show that the work of trust-building requires modellers to create appeals to the credibility of the model's analysis, the utility of its outputs, and to negotiate unavoidable political issues that emerge from differing values among parties in the innovation process. Revealing this labour positions models as social objects, and leads us to provide practical recommendations for scholars and practitioners who hope to use modelling as a key process for digital innovation.

I expect this is a classical question, so feel free to point me to classical answers: what is the fastest-growing function $f(t)$ for which we know that $$ |2^t - 3^{t'}| \ge f(\min(t,t')) \;? $$ In particular, do we know that the gaps between powers of 2 and powers of 3 get exponentially large as $t,t'$ increase? Do we know anything like this for any other pair of integers besides 2 and 3?

What you need is the theory of lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms. A good place to start reading about this is the following article by Evertse:
In particular, Corollary 1.8 of the article (a Corollary to a famous theorem of Matveev) gives
$$ \lvert 2^a-3^b \rvert \ge \frac{\max(2^a,3^b)}{(e \max(a,b))^{C}} $$ where $C$ is a positive constant (that is easily computable--see the proof and also the statement of Theorem 1.7).
share|improve this answer
Can you give a rough and ready estimate of $C$ for those who just want to be impressed with this neat result? – Felix Goldberg Dec 21 '12 at 11:05
I guess you expect $t$ and $t'$ to be integers. In this case, having a small $2^p-3^q$ is related to having a small $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}$. So it's Diophantine approximation, and this is very well studied. The first result in Diophantine approximation is that there exists an infinity of rational $p/q$ such that $$ \left|\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}\right| < \frac{1}{q^2}. $$ In which case it's not hard to compute that $$ \left| 2^p - 3^q \right| = \mathcal{O}\left( \frac{3^q}{q} \right). $$ This is valid of course for all $2$'s and $3$'s.
If now you want lower bounds, then you will need to know a upper bound for the irrationality measure of $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2}$, which is hard to get, but hopefully someone did it. Do you want more details?

I was a little hesitant to post the following thing after the very thorough answers and references, yet it contains a concrete inequality, and may be of interest as a first elementary approach towards the full complexity of the problem.
The idea is that if $2^t$ and $3^ {t'}$ are too close to each other, then $2^{t+1}$ is close to $2\cdot3^{t'}$, hence it is roughy in the middle between $3^ {t'}$ and $3^ {t'+1}$, and therefore far from any power of $3$. To make this into a more quantitative form: assume that $t$ and $t'$ satisfy $$|2^t -3^ {t'}| < \frac{1}{5} 2^t\,.$$ Then it follows plainly
$$ 3^ {t'} + \frac{1}{5} 2^t < 2^{t+1} < 3^ {t'+1} - \frac{2}{5} 2^t \,.$$ Therefore the closest power of $3$ to $2^{t+1}$ is either $3^ {t'}$ or $3^ {t'+1}$, in any case not closer than $ \frac{1}{5} 2^{t+1}$. This tell us that the inequality $$\min _ {t'\in\mathbb{N}} |2^t -3^ {t'}| > \frac{1}{5} 2^t$$ holds for at least one out of two consecutive integers $t$ and $t+1$. So at least half of the powers of $2$, in a density sense, have a distance from the powers of three of at least one fifth of their size.

What is Durbin Watson test? How to perform it in python.
Durbin Watson test includes statistics, and it is equal to 2*(1-r), where r is autocorrelation between residual. When test statistic equals 2 no autocorrelation. When closer to 0 evidence of positive correlation, when closer to 4 evidence of negative correlation.
Durbin watson test is defined as:-
import pandas as pd from statsmodels.formula.api import ols from statsmodels.stats.stattools import durbin_watson
df= pd.read_csv('/content/sample_data/california_housing_train.csv') df.head()
Before applying durbin-watson test we have to apply OLS on some column particularly.
model=ols('total_bedrooms ~ housing_median_age + total_bedrooms + households',data=df).fit() print(model.summary())
As we can see the value is closer to 0 it is more evident of positive correlation.

Resource: Case study
Atwood Primary School, a Silver Award school in Croydon, believes food education is integral to the school curriculum, and its links with Commonwork at Bore Place farm help to bring all of the strands together, from growing to cooking and food sourcing. Pupils are given "real life learning opportunities" and the skills to make informed food choices in the future.
Commonwork is a group of organisations based at Bore Place Farm, an organic dairy farm and Soil Association demonstration site 17 miles away from the school. The group has an excellent education programme and provide a variety of curriculum linked school visits throughout the year. Visits were initially funded by the Food for Life Partnership but now the school funds the visits itself.
What they have achieved
Atwood decided to send the pupils from their School Nutrition Action Group to Bore Place to learn more about farming and in particular milk production. The school has visited the farm several times over the last year to see how the farm changes, and has used the visits to reinforce many areas of the curriculum. Some examples of the activities the pupils did on the farm are detailed below:
Dairy unit tour – On their first visit it was important for pupils to see the site and become familiar with it. Pupils were able to see where dairy cows live and better understand how milk is produced. Pupils were asked to write a report back in school about what they had learnt on their visit, which is great for literacy skills. Pupils also fed back to the rest of the school about their visits by creating display boards in school, which is great for art and design.
Artificial insemination demonstration – This demonstration introduces life cycles to the pupils, the life cycle of a dairy cow, in particular.
Newborn calves visit – Pupils were very lucky to be able to see a calf the day after it was born. This was on their second visit and this really helped reinforce what they had learnt on their first visit about life cycles. It also introduced the topics of animal welfare, which is a great science and citizenship topic.
Milking viewing – Pupils were able to stay on the farm to watch the afternoon milking session, helping to reinforce the idea of food production. This is a great maths topic because pupils can see how many cows there are, how much milk is produce and also how much feed ration the cows get.
Slurry pool viewing – Nutrient recycling is an interesting topic for pupils to think about – being able to see how the waste from the farm is collected and reused is a great practical example.
Development of new cow sheds – Pupils were able to view the construction of the new buildings, which is a brilliant design and technology topic. Puils are able to think about materials and their properties and how they can come together to form a building. This is also a good activity for discussing animal welfare because pupils are able to think about what cows' specific requirements are in terms of housing.
Farm manager interview – Pupils were able to ask the farm manager some questions and get a better understanding of how a farm is organised and run as a business.
Bread making – Pupils learnt all about the cereal crops that make flour and were able to grind their own flour in order to make a bread roll each. This is an excellent exercise for food technology and science – it introduces changing state and forces.
Waste audit activity – Every time the pupils visited the farm they separated their lunch waste into recyclable, compostable waste, etc. to see what waste they had produced, reinforcing the messages of recycling.
Food miles activity – Considering where different food items have come from enables pupils to think about the impact of the food we eat everyday and consider what choices and alternatives they have as food consumers.
Vegetable plot tour – This was a great way for pupils to see what can be produced in the garden and relate it back to the plants they are growing in their garden at school. A great activity to discuss germination, plant life cycles, seed dispersal and the principles of organic production.
Battery hens talk – Animal welfare is an important and emotive topic, and seeing how battery hens can be rescued and made healthy again helps pupils to understand and again consider food choices.
Hedgerow survey – The farm was happy to have the pupils help survey what was living in the hedgerows as part of their 10 yearly survey. This activity is a good way to talk about the benefits of organic farming for biodiversity and introduce topics such as natural pest control, food chains and habitats.
What they say
Rob Veale, deputy head teacher at Atwood Primary School, says: "We feel the teaching of 'food' is extremely important in developing a pupil's education as a whole. It has an impact not only on their immediate lives but also their future lives. Pupils have the opportunity to cook a range of recipes, grow a variety of crops each year and care for chickens. Produce from the gardens and chickens are used in the cooking club, by the school canteen or sold in order to develop some project sustainability. Regular visits to the farm are made throughout the year so pupils can relate to the processes of producing food. These are real-life learning opportunities. Skills gained from these experiences are used for the rest of a pupil's life. Pupils will be able to make informed food choices and evaluate the impact these choices have on the environment."
Julia Bracewell, education coordinator at Commonwork at Bore Place Farm, says: "The aims of these visits to Bore Place are to help young people and adults to make connections: with the natural environment, with their food at the start of the production process, with each other on a local and global scale, recognising that actions that individuals take in one part of the world can have an impact on others in other countries, and vice versa. And ultimately, through these experiences, we feel it is important that people can make connections with themselves and to recognise and understand their own feelings about issues, as well as their own values and thus to be able to make decisions from an informed basis.
But for all this to happen, we feel strongly that the experiences have to be positive and enjoyable, and so we try to ensure that visits are good days out where learning and experiencing happens through fun and enjoyment… despite the often very strong smells on the farm."

Zucchinis are a favourite among low-carb dieters and anyone who wants to cut a bit of weight down. It has a very low score on the glycemic index, it is low in calories, carbs and sugars, but high in essential nutrients like potassium, manganese, and antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A.
At home we try and incorporate as much vegetables as possible into our meals, and zucchini chips are our favourite to graze on.
Tips when buying zucchini:
Choose zucchinis that are shiny with bright green skin, firm and heavy when held (high in water content).
Avoid overly mature, large ones with pitted skin or those with soft or wrinkled ends as these indicated old stock. Minor scratches on skin are common but are perfectly edible.
- 2-3 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- A pinch or two of salt and pepper to taste
- Use a mandolin slicer or slice the zucchinis as thin as possible.
- In a small bowl, whisk olive oil and vinegar together.
- Place the zucchinis in a large bowl and toss with oil and apple cider vinegar.
- Add the zucchinis in even layers into a dehydrator. Depending on how thin you sliced the zucchini and on your dehydrator, the drying time will vary - anywhere from 8-14 hours.
- To make in the oven: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay zucchini slices evenly. Bake at 80°C for 2-3 hours. Flip them half way during cooking time.
Note: Your zucchini chips should retain its texture if stored in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.


Being is present participle, whereas been is past participle
Been can be applied to more tenses compared to being.
As a rule, the word been is always used after have (in any form, e.g., has, had, will have). The word being is never used after have. Being is used after to be (in any form, e.g., is, was, were).

Breakfast-skipper kids develop health problems
| Updated at: 1423 PST, Thursday, August 19, 2010|
LONDON: Almost a third of children regularly go without breakfast before school and are more likely than classmates to be inactive, unfit and obese, research shows.
While 68% of pupils eat before leaving home, 32% do not. Of the latter, 25% only sometimes have a morning meal and 7% never have breakfast on school days, according to findings which have raised fresh concern about children's eating habits and general health.
The study of 4,326 children, aged 10-16, in England was reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and found that 26.6% of boys and 38.6% of girls skipped breakfast some or all of the time. Boys often blame lack of time, while many girls missed breakfast because they believe doing so would help them lose weight.
"We found that children who skip breakfast either occasionally or routinely are less fit, less active and more likely to be overweight or obese than those who always eat breakfast," said lead author Dr Gavin Sandercock, a lecturer in clinical physiology at the University of Essex. "Children with the healthiest weight were always those who regularly had breakfast before heading to school.
"These findings are worrying because we found more obesity and lower levels of physical activity among skippers, which is of great concern because these children are more likely to develop chronic disease in adulthood like cancer, heart disease and diabetes," added Sandercock.
While girls who skipped breakfast are 92% more likely to become obese than female classmates who regularly eat before school, the equivalent figure in boys was 62%. But the boys were much likelier than female ones to have a sedentary lifestyle and, critically, have poor cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) fitness – the best predictor of chronic illness in later life, said Sandercock.
Until now it has been thought that children who missed breakfast were more likely to be obese because they snacked during the day and ate late at night. But the study suggests that their inactive lifestyles may also play a key role.
"This research should concern parents because they are putting their children at a higher risk of being overweight unless they make sure they eat breakfast before leaving the house, and are also increasing their risk of being unfit and inactive," said Sandercock. "It's of great concern that 32% of parents don't do that, especially as we already know that kids' concentration and ability to learn is worse when they miss breakfast."
Professor Mitch Blair of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said: "This is yet another study that reinforces the need for regular mealtime routines. We know that children model their behaviour on their parents and it would be interesting if the parents of the children in this study had similar habits."
Tam Fry, founder of the Child Growth Foundation and spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, said the study underlined the importance of breakfast for everyone. "Although 68% of the children studied always ate breakfast, there are areas of the country where, tragically, very few are given breakfast at home. That is why breakfast clubs at school are hugely important for them – not only for their physical fitness but also for their fitness to learn," said Fry.
But Sandercock said that while breakfast clubs are a good idea, they take away from parents the responsibility of preparing food for their offspring.
The most recent NHS figures show that 22.8% of children in England starting reception year at primary school at the age of four are overweight or obese, rising to 32.6% by the time they reach year six, the last year of primary school. Previous research has also shown that children's fitness is declining worldwide, including in those who are at normal weight, and is going down faster in England than the national average.

Who Must Curtsy to Whom?
One of the most mystifying elements of royal protocol to us "commoners" is the proper way to greet the royal family and how they greet each other. While no one is under obligation to curtsy or bow to a member of the royal family, the rules are still put into practice in court settings, like when the family is at a state function or celebrating Christmas in Sandringham. If the royal family is in the mood to follow strict protocol, everyone must either bow or curtsy to the Queen. Then, according to order of precedence, the order of who bows to whom goes down in order of the Queen's sons (by birth order, so oldest first), then her grandsons, her brothers, her uncles, her nephews, and lastly, her cousins. However, as third in line to the throne, William is said to have gained precedence over the Queen's younger sons in recent years. Female members of the royal family are given lower rank than male members, and until recently, wives of the sovereign's sons are typically given higher rank than her daughters and granddaughters. However, now "blood princesses" are given precedence over women who have married into the royal family. This rule only applies when the woman's husband is present, otherwise she gets bumped on down the list. These rules go down from the Queen to the lowliest baronet and also determine how members of the aristocracy enter and leave a room during formal occasions.
So, for example, if Kate and William were at an event together with William's grandmother, parents, and Princesses Anne, Eugenie, and Beatrice, Kate would only curtsy to the Queen, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, while Anne, Eugenie, and Beatrice would curtsy to her. However, if William was not present for some reason, Kate would have to curtsy to everyone, including "blood princesses" like Eugenie, Beatrice, and Anne. Confused yet? Let's not even get into how lower-ranking members of the aristocracy come into play.


Build a Bridge
 - Project - Build a Bridge
 You will be given 150 popsicle sticks and glue for you to build a two-level weight bearing bridge. We will load the bridge with weight and see how much it holds. There are many ways to build bridges, both real bridges and popsicle stick bridges.
 Do some research, be creative, and remember - triangles are strong. A triangle spreads out weight and is much more stable than a simple rectangle or square support. Be sure to incorporate lots of triangles into your bridge design. More popsicle sticks doesn't necessarily mean a stronger bridge. In fact, according to the internet, "If there is a single most important shape in engineering, it is the triangle. Unlike a rectangle, a triangle cannot be deformed without changing the length of one of its sides or breaking one of its joints. In fact, one of the simplest ways to strengthen a rectangle is to add supports that form triangles at the rectangle's corners or across its diagonal length. A single support between two diagonal corners greatly strengthens a rectangle by turning it into two triangles." Click here for more information
 (The above information was found at: _URL_ Go there for more information.)
 Here are some other sites that explain how to build bridges out of popsicle sticks:
 YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
 You will have one day to sketch a blueprint of your bridge and three days to build your bridge. Each bridge must be:
 - made entirely of popsicle sticks and white glue. No other materials are allowed.
 - be more than 40 cm long (so it will cross the gap)
 - be less than 50 cm long (so it will fit in your locker)
 - be at least 5 cm wide
 - be at least 7 cm tall (so it really has two levels)
 - use no more than 150 popsicle sticks
 - have a hole in the middle (top and bottom) that is at least 2 cm in diameter so that the testing bar can be inserted
 - have a "floor" (where cars would drive) and a "top," both of which must be mostly solid (no more than a Popsicle stick width gap on the top and a half a Popsicle stick width gap on the bottom).
 The weight will be placed on the top and will rest along whatever is on top. The last website shown has a picture of how the weight will be placed. If you have questions, please ask!

Binomial Expansion Formula
In algebra, the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial is expressed by binomial expansion. In binomial expansion, a polynomial (x + y)n is expanded into a sum involving terms of the form a x + b y + c, where b and c are non-negative integers, and the coefficient a is a positive integer depending on the value of n and b. Let us learn more about the binomial expansion formula.
Binomial Expansion Formula
Terms of Binomial Expansion
Binomial expansion specifies the expansion of a binomial. It is also known as binomial theorem. In binomial expansion, we find the middle term. The different terms used in the binomial expansion are
 - General Term
 - Middle Term
 - Independent Term
 - Determining a Particular Term
 - Numerically greatest term
 - Ratio of Consecutive Terms/Coefficients
Binomial Expansion Formula
General Term In Binomial Expansion:
The binomial expansion of (x + y)n,
(x + y)= nC0 x+ nC1 xn-1 . y + nC2 xn-2 . y+ … + nCn yn
General Term = Tr+1 = nCr xn-r . yr or (1 + x)n is nCxr
Some Binomial Expansions:
 - (x + y)+ (x−y)= 2[C0 x+ C2 xn-1 y+ C4 xn-4 y+ …]
 - (x + y)– (x−y)= 2[C1 xn-1 y + C3 xn-3 y+ C5 xn-5 y+ …]
 - (1 + x)n nΣr-0 nC. x= [C+ C1 x + C2 x+ … Cn xn]
 - (1+x)+ (1 − x)= 2[C0 + C2 x2+C4 x+ …]
 - (1+x)− (1−x)= 2[C1 x + C3 x3 + C5 x5 + …]
Properties of Binomial Expansion
Properties of binomial expansion are:
 - In binomail expansion of (x+y)n number terms are (n+1)
 - The sum of exponents of x and y is always n.
 - nC0, nC1, nC2, … nCn are called binomial coefficients and also represented by C0, C1, C2, … Cn
 - The binomial coefficients in the beginning and in the end are equal i.e. nC= nCn, nC= nC− 1, nC= nC– 2 .
Pascal's Triangle
A triangular array of the binomial coefficients of the expression is known as Pascal's Triangle. Pascal's triangle contains the values of the binomial coefficient of the expression.
The expansion of (x + y) 2 is
(x + y) 2 = x 2 + 2xy + y 2
Hence,
 - (x + y) 3 = (x + y)(x + y) 2
 - = (x + y)(x 2 + 2xy + y 2 )
 - = x 3 + (1 + 2)x2y + (2 + 1)xy2 + y3
 - x 3 + 3x 2y + 3xy2 + y 3
In general we see that the coefficients of (x + y)n come from the n-th row of Pascal's Triangle, in which each term is the sum of the two terms just above it.
Solved Example
Q1. What is the value of (2+5)3?
Solution:
The binomial expansion formula is,
(x+y)n = xn + nxn-1y + n(n−1)2! xn-2y2 +…….+ yn
From the given equation,
x = 2 ; y = 5 ; n = 3
(2+5)3
= 23 + 3(22)(51) + 3×22!(21)(52) + 3×2×13!(20)(53)
= 8 + 3(4)(5) + 62(2)(25) + 66(125)
= 8 + 60 + 150 + 125 = 343

For African immigrants, selecting the best childcare options and being aware of available resources is not always straightforward. Finding and paying for childcare frequently hinders working or going to school.
In this article, we will be helping you understand childcare options and benefits available in the UK by sharing information on certain aspects that pose a frequent challenge.
What are child care benefits?
Child care benefits give working or studying parents the assistance they need to care for their kids at work or school.
Can African immigrants access childcare benefits?
Child Care benefits vary from country to country. Set requirements and policies can influence whether you get childcare support and what benefits you get.
As an African parent looking to relocate abroad, you must check out the requirements and policies surrounding childcare benefits in the country you are relocating to. If that country is the UK, we have made it easier for you.
How to apply for child care benefits as an immigrant African parent in the UK
As an African immigrant in the UK, the UK government welfare system needs to become your best friend. The application for childcare benefits will be made via the government's welfare system, reasons why it's essential to know how they operate. Here are steps on how to apply for your child care benefits in the UK as an immigrant African parent:
- Visit the authentic and official government website or contact the local Jobcentre Plus office.
- Applying for a universal credit that combines benefits such as support for childcare costs can be helpful.
- Get the important and necessary documents, which include proof of identity, immigration status, and housing documents, among others.
What are the requirements for applying for childcare benefits in the UK?
To be eligible to receive child benefits, a person must fulfill certain requirements. If you're relocating to the UK from overseas (other countries that are not the UK), you must furthermore demonstrate that you:
- Make the UK your primary residence, except for brief vacations when your kid must usually dwell with you.
- Be able to live in the United Kingdom.
- Prove your child stays or lives with you at the time of application. This is necessary because if you're not from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you can't apply for childcare benefits without your child being present.
Child benefit is available if you have "settled" status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Verify the extra qualifying requirements if you hold a "pre-settled" status.
As an immigrant African Parent that doesn't have a job when you arrive in the UK, you can only be eligible if:
- Have a self-employed or working family member.
- You, or a family member, were laid off in the UK and are now looking for work or enrolled in training.
- You've worked in the UK before but cannot work due to an injury or illness.
- Usually, they reside in the UK and receive child benefits before spending less than a year overseas.
- Are considered refugees if they made Class 1 or Class 2 National Insurance contributions while working overseas and did so within three months of returning.
- You are eligible to receive benefits and have been granted discretionary leave to enter or remain in the UK.
- You have been granted permission to remain as a displaced person and are eligible for assistance.
The policies or laws protecting children in the UK are very different from those of Africa, and you need to get familiar with them. As an African parent looking to relocate to the United Kingdom, it's never too early to research to ensure your child is adequately catered for.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Can I access childcare benefits if I give birth in the UK?
Yes, you can. As soon as you register your child's birth, you can begin to receive child benefits. You must claim them within three months of the child's birth.
- How much will I be paid in childcare benefits?
If you qualify, the weekly amount you get will be £24 for your first kid and £15.90 for each additional child. You can contact the childcare benefits office if you haven't been paid or paid a lesser amount.
- How do I become eligible for childcare benefits?
There are documents and requirements necessary to be eligible for childcare benefits, some of which have been provided in this article.

Why Does My Engine Squeal When I Turn it On?
Why Does My Engine Squeal When I Turn it On?
Why Does My Engine Squeal When I Turn it On ? here ' s a typical scenario : You start your car in the morning, and vitamin a soon as the engine fires up, you notice a loud, high-pitched confess. When you accelerate or make a U-turn, the squealing gets louder and more marked. What ' randomness causing your locomotive to squeal ?
Although there are a few causes of a confess locomotive, one of the most coarse is a bad or failing serpentine belt out. The serpentine belt – or drive belt, as its besides known – plays a full of life character in the engine. The knock drives many of the locomotive ' south accessories, including the alternator and power steering pump. consequently, when a serpentine belt goes bad, these accessories stop working. Think you might have a badly serpentine knock ? A revealing sign is that the engine squealing comes from the battlefront of the vehicle and that it persists. Belt whine is besides particularly pronounced when accelerating, on inauguration, and when making a U-turn. The noise is loud and sounds like a confess, loudly chirp, or whine. If your vehicle squeals when brake, on the early hand, that ' s most likely a brake issue, rather than a swath. This article outlines some other problems you might notice if your belt is squeaking and ways to tell if your serpentine belt is failing .
How to Tell If My Serpentine Belt Needs Replacing ?
A dirty belt is hard to miss. You ' ll notice the high persistent screaky adenine soon as you start the engine. And when you accelerate on the spur of the moment, the squealing gets worse. On showery days or during those humid summer days, you notice a greater frequency in the screaky. unfortunately, a failing belt out normally doesn ' deoxythymidine monophosphate turn the check engine idle on, and consequently, you ' ll want to watch out for the signs and symptoms. Beyond the high squeal, a fail or bad serpentine belt out besides causes other noticeable issues. They include :
 - Difficult Steering – In many of today ' south cars, the serpentine belt drives the power steering pump. If the screaky is more marked when turning – for example, when making a u-turn – this may be due to a bad belt out. If the knock fails, you will lose world power steering, which makes it very difficult to turn the wheel and can be a guard gamble if you ' rhenium drive at higher speeds
 - Battery Light – The serpentine belt is besides used to drive the alternator, which uses the world power generated to charge your barrage. therefore, a failing swath may trigger the depleted battery light in your car, and when the belt out fails, your battery will die more quickly .
 - Overheating – In some cases, the serpentine belt powers the water pump, which plays an necessity function in engine cool. A cable car that ' south running hot may be a sign of a fail swath, and if the belt fails, your vehicle will likely overheat .
 - AC Problems – Your car ' s AC system uses the serpentine belt to run smoothly. consequently, you might notice the peep starts when you turn the AC on. The squeal will be particularly pronounce if you ' ra accelerating with the AC on .
coarse Serpentine Belt Problems
nowadays ' mho cars have firm, durable serpentine belts, and they typically final between 60,000 and 100,000 miles with short want alimony. Over time, wear and pluck can take a price on the belt and the pulleys, which often results in that high-pitched tweedle sounds when you start the car and accelerate. The most coarse serpentine belt problems include :
 - Worn/Cracked Serpentine Belt – Serpentine belts have grooves which fit into grooves in the pulley. Over time, the friction wears down these grooves, resulting in a idle fit. A tire belt out can, therefore, begin to slip, which is one of the causes the confess. alternatively, cracks can cause the belt to snap .
 - Failing Belt Pulleys – The belt is pulled along by respective pulleys. A bad pulley can cause slippage or misalignment. regular maintenance can detect pulley issues early .
 - Misaligned Belt / Improper Tension – A belt that ' s excessively informal or excessively besotted, or that ' s fallen out of alignment, will cause the belt to slip .
Does the Noise Go Away After Warming Up ? In coldness upwind climates, a serpentine knock may squeal on unusually cold days. This is because the knock is cadaver and brittle. Often, though, the screaky stops after its had time to warm up. If you notice a confess that dissipates after warming up and that ' s not present on warm days, the confess might be weather-related .
Is It safe to Drive with a Squealing Belt ?
When the serpentine belt breaks, the vehicle may become inoperable, which would require an expensive tow and add to the overall repair costs. Plus, since the swath powers the might steering pump, a loss of pressure could result in heavy steer, which presents a safety hazard when drive. That ' mho why it ' sulfur recommended that the serpentine knock is replaced early when the confess symptoms are first noticed. Although it may be safe to drive with the squeal for a few days or weeks, the belt out will finally need to be replaced, and for safety, the earlier it ' randomness repaired, the better .
What Is the cost to Replace a Serpentine Belt ?
A serpentine belt substitution is a relatively low-cost engine repair. The belts are normally sanely accessible in the locomotive, and therefore, they ' rhenium easier to replace ( for example, fewer parturiency costs ). Plus, a serpentine belt international relations and security network ' t a costly separate, most price between $ 30- $ 80. overall, the cost to replace a serpentine belt can vary depending on your vehicle ' s make and exemplary. here ' s a immediate approximate range calculate of what to expect :
consequently, a sum replacement price is normally in the scope of $ 150- $ 250, although some fomite makes and models might cost more to replace. This is because some engines have two belts which the extra belt is normally used to drive the a/c compressor. In addition, your vehicle may require a stretch match belt over a " five " type construction rather of the normal knock tensioner. extra belts may require more parturiency, so contact us to get an accurate price quote. Think your serpentine belt out is failing ? Or need to diagnose an locomotive squeal ? Hollenshade ' south Auto Repair Service has served Towson, MD since 1939.

2 Nephi 29 speaks of the testimony of two nations running together to establish the truth of God's words to his children. This naturally calls to mind the passages in Ezekiel 37 that speak of the two sticks (the stick of Judah and the stick of Ephraim) that are brought together as one in God's hand. Traditional Latter-day Saint interpretation of Ezekiel 37 has identified the Bible and the Book of Mormon as the sticks of Judah and Ephraim, respectively, but a careful reading of this passage and related scriptures reveals a much more complex and nuanced picture.

Driver's Education for the Self-Driving Database
With Oracle Autonomous Database, DBAs can avoid the mundane, embrace strategy, and schedule those meetings.
By Tom Haunert
February 12, 2018
If DBAs are the drivers of databases, what happens to DBA responsibilities on a self-driving database?
Oracle Magazine sat down with Maria Colgan, master product manager for Oracle Database, to talk about how Oracle Autonomous Database will change the role of the DBA and how the DBA will in turn improve business processes and application development.
Oracle Magazine: At the highest level, what is Oracle Autonomous Database?
Colgan: Oracle Autonomous Database combines the flexibility of the cloud with the power of machine learning to deliver data management as a service.
It will allow businesses to safely run their mission-critical database workloads on the most secure, most available, and most performant platform—Oracle Database 18c on Oracle Exadata.
Beyond Oracle Database 18c and Oracle Exadata, Oracle Autonomous Database includes machine learning and other features (or "secret sauce," if you will) to deliver this high level of service. Oracle Autonomous Database customers will simply define the service level they need and Oracle Autonomous Database will make it happen.
Oracle Magazine: How does Oracle Autonomous Database affect the role of the DBA?
Colgan: If you look at what a DBA does today, you can probably divide the tasks into two buckets: generic database and infrastructure tasks would be in one bucket and the other bucket would be more application-focused or business-focused tasks.
With the transition to Oracle Autonomous Database, the generic database and infrastructure tasks go away, because the cloud provider—Oracle—is going to take care of them. These tasks include provisioning new database systems, upgrading or patching existing databases, and making backups.
Biz2Credit 1
With Oracle Autonomous Database, applicationand business-focused DBA activities do not go away, says Maria Colgan, master product manager for Oracle Database.
Those tasks are going to go away because DBAs are simply going to select the service levels they want, and Oracle Autonomous Database will take care of it for them. But that doesn't mean the other DBA activities—the applicationand business-focused activities in that second bucket—go away.
Anything that's business-driven or application-focused is still in the hands of the DBA. These areas tend to be the ones that fall off the DBA's plate right now when DBAs focus on those more generic database and infrastructure tasks. Removing those tasks allows the rest of the DBA's world to expand.
Oracle Magazine: What kind of new or different opportunities does the self-driving database offer to DBAs?
Colgan: Oracle Autonomous Database gives DBAs an opportunity to really spread their wings and learn some new skills.
For example, we believe that DBAs working with Oracle Autonomous Database are going to become more involved with their development teams and work hand in hand with them, as well as with the business, to execute more projects, reduce backlogs, and get more value from their company's data. The DBA role will transform to include defining things such as the data model, optimizing data access, and improving end user experience. DBAs can help developers use the features that are included with Oracle Autonomous Database so that the developers can make the best use of the database technology and get their projects up and running much faster.
DBAs who are not currently experts in data modeling, security, data lifecycle management, or application tuning will have an opportunity to move into those areas.
Oracle Magazine: What can DBAs who want to plan for what's next in the autonomous database world do now?
Colgan: One of the things I'm always telling DBAs is that you need to get familiar with the features and functionality in the latest versions of Oracle Database and how to use them, and that's still the case with Oracle Autonomous Database.
DBAs need to start educating themselves on the areas I mentioned, including security, performance tuning, data modeling, and architecting a full solution with a development team. These are areas they may not currently operate in, but they're going to have to grow into them.
And when it comes to which database service a company needs, the business and the developers are going to look to the DBA to know that. Do you really need Oracle Autonomous Database based on your latest requirements? Sometimes the answer may actually be no, and a service such as Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service might be sufficient.
As far as working with developers, DBAs should get ready to be the advocates for the features, functionality, and technology that are in the database that can improve the agility of development teams so that developers are not spending months and years reinventing the wheel in their application code.

How to Prevent Kitchen Burns
Kitchen burns can happen very easily — while taking a hot pan from the oven or draining boiled pasta, for example. Prevent kitchen burns by making these safety precautions a habit:
Always use oven mitts when taking things out of the oven or removing things from the stove. Protective mitten types are good for taking things out of the oven because they protect the back of your hands, too.
Never touch the stovetop with your bare hand. You may not know whether the burners are still hot.
Stand back from a hot pan when you remove the lid. You don't want to get steam burns
Be very careful when draining hot pasta or pouring hot liquids like soup from a pot into a bowl. A splatter of boiling water, hot soup, or hot oil can burn you.
Never mix hot liquids in a blender. They can explode out of the blender container, even with the lid on.
Stand back from hot grease and boiling liquids, including water. These liquids can spatter and burn you, so keep your distance and wear long sleeves.
Keep pot handles turned inward. If the handles point out over the edge of the stove, someone could bump them and send a pan full of hot food flying.

To export a mailbox into PST in Exchange 2013, there is a set of EMS cmdlet called MailboxExportRequest. When request for a mailbox export to PST is initiated, it is processed by the Mailbox Replication Server that resides on CAS. The best part is while the migration takes place, the users will be able to access the mailbox except for the time when the mailbox is locked at the end of migration. Let's talk about Exchange Server mailbox recovery and reasons to move them into PST.
Common Reasons to Move Mailbox to PST
- For Compliance Purpose: At times, there can be requirement to move an Exchange mailbox to Outlook PST for legal discovery proceedings. The data can be migrated to PST file which can be imported into the mailbox involved in compliance activity.
- Creating Point-In Time Snapshot: If mailboxes are saved as PST for a specific point in time, there would be relaxation to maintain a backup of entire database.
- Create an Archive of the Mailbox: Along with the advantage of archiving the mailbox locally, the idea of exporting mailbox into PST can also help to move the mailbox to different database or server.
Advantage of Using the Export Request:
Against different methods to export Exchange mailbox to PST 2013, it is recommended to opt for the PowerShell cmdlets because of following reasons:
- There is a PST provider integrated with Exchange 2013 that enables reading and writing PST files.
- At a time there is provision to export multiple mailboxes into PST file and access the mailboxes simultaneously.
- The PST file can be saved on shared network from where it can be accessed by the Exchange Server.
- The PST files created by export process is Unicode formatted that is supported by Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013.
Things to Remember:
- It is important that a PST file is created on shared network where the mailbox data will be exported. In addition to this, the Exchange Trusted Subsystem Group must have the read and write permissions. This will ensure that the group is able to access the PST file on network share. In absence of this right, an error message will be received on screen stating inappropriate rights to connect to target mailbox.
- It is recommended to export a mailbox that is less than 50 GB in size. Reason being the maximum PST file limit that Outlook supports in 50 GB. If a mailbox is large in size, then individual PST files can be created for every folder in the mailbox by using the content filter.
- The Export Request cmdlets can only be used to mailboxes and not for the public folders. Also, the data migration process is executed by MRS which might take time, depending upon factors like the bandwidth, size of file, or MRS throttling.
Alternate Technique to Export Mailbox to PST:
The PowerShell command discussed above will work on live Exchange environment. In scenarios where there is need to export mailboxes to PST where database is dismounted, surely a third party EDB to PST converter should be adopted.

The most basic method of graphing polar equations is by plotting points and doing a quick sketch. Graphing polar equations is a skill that requires the ability to plot points and sometimes recognize a special case of polar curves, such as cardioids, and roses and conic sections. However, we need to understand the polar coordinate system and how to plot points for graphing polar equations.
Let's graph a polar equation. I have a pretty easy polar equation here. r equals theta over pi for theta greater than or equal to 0. Now the best approach when you're trying to graph something new is to plot some points. And so let's start with theta equals 0. If theta equals 0 r=0 so that's going to be a point. And let's try multiples of pi over 4. So when theta equals pi over 4, I get pi over 4 divided by pi which is a quarter. Pi over 2. Pi over 2 divided by pi is a half.
Let's try 3 pi over 4. 3 pi over 4 divided by pi is three quarters. And you can kind of see the pattern. The number I'm going to get here is basically this number without the pi, right? Divide out the pi. So pi will give me 1 and so on. Let me plot some of these points, and see what kind of a curve I'm getting.
So I have 0 0, right? r is 0, theta could be anything as long as r is 0, that gives me the origin. And then pi over 4, one quarter. Now I've made this so that each of these each of these circles represent a quarter unit. So pi over 4 one quarter is right here. And then pi over 2 this direction one half is right here. 3 pi over 4 gives me three quarters here. Negative pi gives me 4 quarters or 1 and following in this pattern if we wanted to keep going, 5 pi over 4 would give me 5 quarters. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 3 pi over 2 is 6 pi over 4. So I go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and then 7 pi over 4 would give me 7 quarters. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And finally, let's just finish at 2 pi. 2 pi is the same as 8 pi over 4. So I go out to 2, right? 8 quarters.
Alright, let's see if if we can draw this. It looks kind of like a spiral. And just about done. There and the graph will continue forever, right? So it's just spirals around and around. this is the equation, the graph of the equation r equals theta over pi, for theta greater than or equal to 0.

importHTML is a fantastic formula you can use in Google Spreadsheets. Here's Google's support documentation for importHTML:
Syntax: ImportHtml(URL, query, index)
URL is the URL of the HTML page. Either "list" or "table" indicates what type of structure to pull in from the webpage. If it's "list," the function looks for the contents of , , or tags; if it's "table," it just looks for tags. Index is the 1-based index of the table or the list on the source web page. The indices are maintained separately so there might be both a list #1 and a table #1.
Example: =ImportHtml("_URL_ "table";4). This function returns demographic information for the population of India.
Note: The limit on the number of ImportHtml functions per spreadsheet is 50.
What's even better is you can wrap this formula in other formula to get the data in the shape you want. A case in point I was recently asked:
_USER_ is it possible in GS/sheet to use ImportHTML and transpose table data on import into columns if the same source table format?
— jamestoon (_USER_) September 13, 2012
The answer is yes, you can TRANSPOSE a importHTML. Let use the Demographics of India table from the support documentation as an example. To switch columns into rows we can use
This lets us change the way the data is imported from this:
Lets now say we are only interested in the population figures for 1991 and 2001. You could always just import all the data then pull it using a cell reference. Another way of doing this is to wrap our data in a QUERY formula.
The QUERY function is a built-in function that allows you to perform a query over an array of values using the Google Visualization API Query Language.
Anyone used to tinkering with databases will recognise the query language which uses the clauses like SELECT, WHERE, GROUP_BY etc.
There are a couple of ways to query our data for the population of India in 1991 and 2001.
Using LIMIT and OFFSET
- Limit – Limits the number of returned rows.
- Offset – Skips a given number of first rows.
Using these we could use the query
"SELECT * LIMIT 2 OFFSET 4". This selects all the columns (using *) and then limits to 2 results starting from the 4th row. The order of limit/offset is important, using these the other way around won't return any results.
- Select – Selects which columns to return, and in what order. If omitted, all of the table's columns are returned, in their default order.
Because we are using importHTML as our datasource when selecting the columns we need to use the syntax Col1, Col2, Col3 …. So if you just want the year and population our query could be
"SELECT Col1, Col2 LIMIT 2 OFFSET 4"
- Where – Returns only rows that match a condition. If omitted, all rows are returned.
One issue with using limit/offset is if more data is inserted into the source table it might push your results out of the range. A way around this is to include a WHERE clause to only include data on certain conditions. WHERE allows various comparison operators like <=, =, >, multiple conditions ('and', 'or' and 'not') and more complex string comparisons like 'contains'. More information on WHERE conditions here. So if we only wan the population where the year is 1991 or 2001 we can use the query
"SELECT Col1, Col2 where Col1='*1991*' or Col1='*2001*'"
For this last example lets also TRANSPOSE the result and remove the table header:
So there you using the QUERY formula to be more selective on your html import to Google Spreadsheets. Here is a copy of the spreadsheet with all the examples I've used in this post Any questions/clarifications leave a comment.
PS Tony Hirst has also written about Using Google Spreadsheets Like a Database – The QUERY Formula and this is a place if you want some more query examples.
PPS I'm on leave now which is why this post has very little to do with CETIS or OER.
