What to Do If Your Dog Gets Attacked on a Walk
I am an animal lover, dog owner, and pet blogger! I have two dogs who are just as wacko as me.

When Dogs Attack Dogs
Nothing is more painful than waking up with your dog and going for a nice walk in the morning only to be attacked by a stray dog or an unsecured dog. Most of the time, these unprovoked dog attacks can lead to the maiming of the victim or even the death of the dog being attacked. Dog owners know the horror of seeing their dogs being mauled by another dog and not being able to do anything about it. In most of these dog attack cases, it is the large dog that attacks the smaller dog. Here are a few pointers I have gathered from my own experience and from those I know.

What to Do If Your Dog Is Being Attacked by Another Dog
1. Scope the Walk Zone
I always tell people prevention is better than cure. Before you decide on walking your dog, scope out the community and neighborhood for about a week. Get to know the streets a little and see if there are stray animals roaming the streets. Ascertain who has dogs nearby and how these dogs are kept. Dog owners should have proper retention areas to prevent their dogs from jumping or breaking down weak fences to attack people or other dogs. You cannot predict all eventualities because a stray dog may pop up from nowhere or an owner may not have leashed his dog and left the gate open. You can still reduce the odds by knowing the surroundings.
2. Release the Leash
Many times when dogs are being attacked by other dogs, the leash helps to keep the other dog which is being attacked in a useless position. The attacking dog has free movement while the leashed dog being attacked is restricted of its natural defensive instincts. If your dog is being mauled, release the leash so your dog can either run away or have a fighting chance. Once you let go off the leash, you can assist your dog by doing anything possible for the attacking dog to back off.
3. Always Have a Dog Whistle
A dog whistle can be the key to you saving your dog's life against a dog attack or your dog being mauled to death by the attacking dog. Dogs can hear frequencies of a higher range compared to human ears. Dogs can typically detect sounds between 67-45,000 Hz, while humans can detect sounds between 64-23,000. In the upper frequencies of a dog's hearing range, the sounds can cause a dog irritation and discomfort. If your dog is being attacked and you have a high-frequency dog whistle, chances are you can stop or break up this attack by blowing this whistle. You will cause some discomfort for your own dog, but you may have just saved your dog's life.
4. Pick Up Your Dog and Run to a Safe Area
If you can see the danger approaching (meaning dog(s) running towards you), you should pick up your dog before the impending danger reaches you. Secure yourself and your dog in a safe area such as a restaurant, a store, or even in someone's yard. I wouldn't advise you to try and pick up the dog while it is being attacked if you fear for your own self being attacked.
5. Get Help
If your dog is being attacked by another dog, shout for help and get as many people as possible to help you. Recruit several persons who are not afraid of dogs to form a tight circle around the animals. What this helps to do is limit the space for movement of the dog doing the attack. It may prevent the dog from thrashing the small dog back and forth which does more damage than a bite. The back and forth thrashing can rip internal organs and break a lot of bones in your small dog. If there is a collar on the dog which is doing the attack, grab the collar and restrain the dog's head movement.
6. Use Physical Force as a Last Resort
Don't be afraid to hit the other dog doing the attack, especially if you see that your dog is on the brink of death because of a throat hold or anything else. Get whatever you can to hit the attacking dog until it releases your dog and runs away.
Take Your Dog to the Nearest Veterinarian Immediately
After the melee, take your pet to the nearest veterinarian so the animal can be assessed for damages. There can be major injuries to the animal such as internal organ and tissue damage and broken limbs. Some dogs will require surgery to help correct injuries ascertained during the ordeal. After you rush your pet to the hospital, get in touch with the owner of the dog so that the right agreement will be made between both parties.
Assessing Your Dog's Well-Being After a Dog Attack
I have seen a small Shih-Tzu mauled by another neighbor's dog. They took the dog to the veterinarian to assess injuries. The dog had just a few bite marks and scrapes. The dog, however, went into a depressive state after the attack and simply never came back to being the spunky, happy little dog it was. The dog stopped eating, would lay around all day, and was in no mood to do anything.
They took the dog to the vet several times and to other vets outside of the community and didn't find anything physically wrong with the animal. The dog later died from what a dog psychiatrist called doggy depression. The dog's mind simply could not move past the ordeal and its mind began to shut down its body leading to death. You should monitor your dog after all physical healing.

yesterday, I had taken both my german shepherd dogs on a walk (1 aged 11 the other aged 2 1/2). My dogs were both on a leash and I was with my brother, we decided to separate the dogs as we normally give the younger dog a much longer walk. as we began to separate, the house across the streets staffy cam rushing towards our younger dog. at first, the owner said she just wants to play, but both dogs got into a fight. I think my younger dog is scared when he is approached quickly and fast by other dogs and acts in defence.
Mrs Helen Carter on August 19, 2020:
My small dog was attacked by a neighbour's dog last week. The owner apologised at the time but has not enquired about its wellbeing since. We had to take her to the vet as she was in pain and was very distraught. Does the law state that her dog should wear a muzzle on walks now it has attacked another dog?
JS on November 12, 2019:
Yeah, right...There is no way I'd be jamming my finger behind a dog's molar & pushing his tongue down while he's in a fight. Thats just crazy!!!! I hope you still have your finger left!!
Irene on August 16, 2019:
We're currently on Vacation in the country, living in a house with a fairly large yard. There are three semi-stray (?) dogs here. (They live in the yard of someone's house, but the yard is always open and they are often found running around and playing together in the streets). Those dogs are big, but my dog is just an eleven month old beagle. Would it be a safer option to just let him play in the yard with very minimum walking (like maybe thirty minutes a day), or would that make him sad? (He's used to two/three hours of walking).
So far we've been here for about five days and because of the heat he mainly sleeps during the day and only has some energy in the evening during which I take him on a 20-30 minute walk and he just walks around in the yard. Is this enough?
Clive Williams (author) from Jamaica on July 31, 2019:
how did that turn out brian?
brian on July 31, 2019:
I had a loose, 40-50lb female attack my 100lb male GSD once. I thought of releasing him, but was more worried about the consequences for the other dog.
Puppy lover on January 28, 2019:
Thank you for tips because I have a neighbor that has 2 dogs that their breed is best known for THE MOST DEADLY Dog the little one is nice but the big one was very nice bet than someone roobed him than they found him and when he came home he was agrissive and I was with my dog and he wanted to jump the fence so now I'm going to buy a dog wisle.
Beach Bugs on September 14, 2018:
I think a lot of your suggestions are good. However, your statement,"In most of these dog attack cases, it is the large dog that attacks the smaller dog." is completely misconstrued. Being the owner of large dogs they get snipped at all the time by smaller dogs with the infamous" Napoleon complex"- my dog can be sniffing away and a little chihuahua comes in and starts harassing her. Just because a bigger dog defends themselves and winsdoesn't mean it started the fight.
On another note I find it horrendous that someone would suggest breaking a dogs jawwhat an arrogantly conceited thing to say. If you want to unlock a dogs jaw that has another dog- ( and I have done this many times as a crisis animal rescuer,) you jam your finger behind their molars and press on their tonguethey automatically release. I can't imagine the amount of bicep strength it would take to pry

SunshinePHP 2019 CFP Started
Passing the Session ID
There are two methods to propagate a session id:
 - Cookies
 - URL parameter
The session module supports both methods. Cookies are optimal, but because they are not always available, we also provide an alternative way. The second method embeds the session id directly into URLs.
PHP is capable of transforming links transparently. If the run-time option session.use_trans_sid is enabled, relative URIs will be changed to contain the session id automatically.
Note:
The arg_separator.output php.ini directive allows to customize the argument separator. For full XHTML conformance, specify & there.
Alternatively, you can use the constant SID which is defined if the session started. If the client did not send an appropriate session cookie, it has the form session_name=session_id. Otherwise, it expands to an empty string. Thus, you can embed it unconditionally into URLs.
The following example demonstrates how to register a variable, and how to link correctly to another page using SID.
Example #1 Counting the number of hits of a single user
<?php
session_start
();
if (empty(
$_SESSION['count'])) {

$_SESSION['count'] = 1;
} else {

$_SESSION['count']++;
}
?>

Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $_SESSION['count']; ?> times.

To continue, <a href="nextpage.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>">click
here.

The htmlspecialchars() may be used when printing the SID in order to prevent XSS related attacks.
Printing the SID, like shown above, is not necessary if --enable-trans-sid was used to compile PHP.
Note:
Non-relative URLs are assumed to point to external sites and hence don't append the SID, as it would be a security risk to leak the SID to a different server.

The first time a page is accessed, PHP doesn't yet know if the browser is accepting cookies or not, so after session_start() is called, SID will be non-empty, and the PHPSESSID gets inserted in all link URLs on that page that are properly using SID.
This has the consequence that if, for example, a search engine bot hits your home page first, all links that it sees on your home page will have the ugly PHPSESSID=... in them.
This appears to be the default behavior. A work-around is to turn on session.use_only_cookies, but then you lose session data for anyone who has their cookies turned off.

The constant SID would always be '' (an empty string) if directive session.use_trans_sid in php ini file is set to 0.
But set session.use_trans_sid to 1 is not effective if director session.use_only_cookies is 1.
try:
session_start(['use_only_cookies'=>0])
or
session_start(['use_only_cookies'=>0,use_trans_sid=1])

A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT? THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT...
Creek Watch is a new iPhone application that enables people to help monitor the health of their local waterways. Whenever they pass by waterways they can take a picture and report what they see, from how fast the water is flowing, to how much rubbish is present. Creek Watch collects the data and shares it with water control boards to help them track pollution, manage water resources and plan environmental programmes.
Mobile technology is increasingly being used to mobilise the public to monitor their local environment. French organisation Montre Verte recruits citizens to monitor the air quality around Paris, while the Urban Forest Map allows people to map the trees of San Francisco.
See how it works
Innovators: IBM Research, Living Environments Lab, California State Water Control Board.
REDUCING BUSINESS TRAVEL THROUGH VIDEOCONFERENCING
New technology means it's possible to be present at a meeting almost anywhere in the world without actually having to travel there. Videoconferencing technology is well established and easily accessible, and is improving all the time. Substituting telepresence for business travel saves time and money, and substantially reduces carbon emissions. This combination makes a very appealing business case. If large UK and US businesses implemented 10,000 telepresence units – 5.5 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions will be saved from reduced business travel.
Benefits: carbon reduction
Innovators: Cisco, HP, Polycom, AT&T
ENVIRONMENTAL SENSOR NETWORKS
Networks of cheap micro-sensors – mini-computers that collect high resolution, real-time data – could transform the way we monitor and manage our impact on the natural environment. One project in the Australian rainforest is using solar-powered sensors to measure variables such as temperature and moisture, and analysing audio and video to estimate species numbers.
Possible benefits include better ecosystem health monitoring for critically endangered habitats, and more accurate resource management for fisheries, forest carbon, watersheds and aquifers. Environmental sensor networks are also being used in adaptive buildings that automatically respond to changes in temperature and weather to manage heating, cooling and lighting.
Benefits: biodiversity; energy efficiency

Smart Phone Use in a Higher Educational Setting
INST 525 Eileen O'Sullivan
Potential Academic Uses
Smart phones may be used in the classroom to engage students, access real-time feedback and answer questions in an anonymous way. (Der)
Hotseat at Purdue University
Hotseat was developed at Purdue University as a way to include and improve on existing backchannel solutions for learning environments (particularly for large lecture halls). It is a social networking tool that creates a backchannel of collaborative discussion both in and out of the classroom. It allows students to provide near real-time feedback during class, potentially enabling faculty to adjust course content and enrich the overall classroom experience. Hotseat makes this interaction possible by taking advantage of the mobile devices that students already bring into the classroom and by using popular social tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and text messaging.photo © 2009 velkr0 | more info (via: Wylio)
Instructors provide a question, comment, or framework, and students contribute a short response using their preferred mobile device. These responses, or "thoughts" within Hotseat, are automatically updated as submitted by the class. Students can read, vote, and comment on posts made by other students, thus identifying common questions or areas of discussion. Access to Hotseat is granted by the student's standard university login and password and is typically based on course enrollment. Some faculty also choose to broaden the conversation by allowing open contribution to the discussion topic from people outside of the class. These features allow for rapid community building in the course. (Aagard, Bowen, & Olesova, 2010, November 3)
Real-time Feedback Tool
Smart phones are an ideal tool to provide real time feedback and assessment to improve learning and teaching outcomes.
To Capture Data "in the field"
The small form factor of smartphones makes them more portable than a laptop or computer and it can utilize a wireless network or a cell phone network for Internet connectivity.
Smart phones are being used in clinical settings by clinicians primarily to support clinical decisions related to direct patient care at the bedside. Physicians' use of the Internet and PDAs is growing, with 60% to 70% of medical students and residents using PDAs for educational purposes and patient care in 2006. When a wireless network is not available (such has in a community center or smaller hospital) the smart phone is an alternative devise. (León, Fontelo, Green, Ackerman and Liu, 2007).
To Deliver Health Services
Smoking-Cessation Using Cell Phone Text Messaging
Smoking cessation programs are starting to use mobile
phones, particularly as adjuncts to quitlines and Internet
quit coaches, e.g. the NHS Stop Smoking Service's 'Together'
support-at-home/) and theNew ZealandQuitline 'Txt2quit' program (_URL_
Cessation interventions that are aimed at young adults appear ideally
suited for delivery via mobile phones, as young people appreciate
the anonymity and confidentiality allowable, and the ease
of use anywhere at anytime. Other
possible benefits of mobile phone-based smoking cessation interventions include: cost-effective delivery and scalability to large populations regardless of location, the ability to tailor messages to key user characteristics (such as age, sex, ethnicity), the ability to send time-sensitive messages with an 'always on' device and the provision of content that can distract the user from cravings, and the ability to link the user with others for social support. (Obermayer, J., Riley, W., Asif, O., & Jean-Mary, J., 2004).
Preventing weight gain in first year college students
Researchers are evaluated an Internet intervention with first year college students randomly assigned to one of four treatment conditions: 1) no treatment, 2) 6-week online intervention 3) 6-week weight and caloric feedback only (via email), and 4) 6-week combined feedback and online intervention. The combined intervention group had lower Body Mass Indexes at post-testing than the other three groups. This study demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of an online intervention to prevent weight gain among college students. (Gow, Trace, & Mazzeo, 2010)
Improve Student Retention
At Georgia Gwinnett, a public, four-year, noncompetitive-admissions college founded in 2005, professors are offered a state-of-the-art smartphone and a Sprint data plan that includes the most sophisticated wireless Internet coverage. This smartphone program was created to defy the historically low retention rates typical of colleges that set such a modest bar for admission (Georgia Gwinnett admits any Georgia high school graduate). And so far, they say, it is working. The retention rate for returning sophomores at Georgia Gwinnett stands at 75%. That is about double the average rate for noncompetitive-admissions colleges in Georgia, according to Tom Mundie, dean of the school of science and technology at Georgia Gwinnett, and on par with many public institutions that have competitive admissions. In engagement surveys, Mundie says, students have reported "feeling that faculty care about and are accessible to them." (Kolowich, 2010, August 20)photo © 2009 Zoe | more info (via: Wylio)
Providing hearing-impaired students with learning care after classes through the use of text chat on smart phones connected to a system (GPRS) that allows teachers to manage their interactions with students after classes. Student reactions identified effective strategies regarding student–teacher interaction while teachers utilised the wireless network and handheld devices to provide learning support. Questionnaire results demonstrated that most students and their parents considered student– teacher interaction and strategies through GPRS and smart phones effective in improving student learning at home.

This blog post will answer the question, 'How to prevent a car engine from revving by itself?', and cover topics like reasons behind a car engine revving on its own, symptoms of a car engine revving on its own, and why does a car engine rev on its own?
How to prevent a car engine from revving by itself?
The following preventive measures can be taken up to prevent a car engine from revving by itself:
- The checking of spark plugs should be carried out regularly as they are directly linked to the car ignition system working optimally. It should be noted that the spark plugs should not be dirty or covered with carbon deposits.
- The fuel filter is also one of the crucial components that need to be checked regularly as a clogged fuel filter can cause serious problems and must be replaced immediately.
- A car oil change should be done once around every 3 months or so. This is because an optimum supply of oil will help keep other vital components intact by providing optimum lubrication.
Reasons behind a car engine revving on its own
These are the following reasons that contribute to a car engine revving on its own.
Faults in the ignition system
This is one of the main reasons behind a car engine revving on its own while driving. Therefore, in case the spark plugs are not working properly, the ignition system is to blame as it causes engine misfires.
Defective fuel line
A defective fuel line is another reason behind a car engine revving while driving. It basically signifies that inadequate fuel is being sent to the engine for combustion and thus causes the engine to rev on its own.
Defective fuel pump
A defective fuel pump fails to send sufficient fuel to the carburetor or the fuel injectors of the engine and thus results in improper combustion. It is indicated by a banging noise from under the car hood.
Faulty idle control valve
The idle control valve helps to regulate the idling speed of the car by opening and closing as per requirements. But, if this valve is stuck open and does not budge, it will lead to the car engine revving on its own.
Faulty EGR sensor
The EGR valve is also known as the exhaust gas recirculation valve. It helps to recirculate the exhaust gases back to the combustion chamber of the engine instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.
The EGR valve might get clogged due to the buildup of dirt, dust, gunk, etc. This can lead to the car engine revving on its own, due to inadequate air entering the combustion chamber.
A faulty throttle position sensor
The throttle position sensor or the TPS helps to keep a check on how much the accelerator pedal is being pressed, following which it sends this information to the electronic control unit(ECU).
If this sensor becomes clogged due to dirt, dust, or gunk buildup and starts to malfunction, it can lead to the car engine revving on its own while driving even if the accelerator pedal is not engaged at all.
Defective fuel injectors
Fuel injectors play a crucial role in the optimum combustion of the air-fuel mixture by injecting the fuel into the combustion chamber at the right time.
These fuel injectors can also get clogged at times due to the buildup of gunk, grime, etc. This will lead to improper combustion and the car engine will start revving as the power produced is inadequate.
Faulty oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor helps in keeping tabs on the volume of uncombusted oxygen present in the combustion chamber after the exhaust gases have been discharged.
If there is an inadequate volume of uncombusted oxygen inside the chamber, and it cannot be used for further combustion cycles, it might cause the car engine to rev on its own while driving.
Symptoms of a car engine revving on its own
These are the following identification signs for a car engine that is revving on its own.
Engine misfires are a telltale sign of your car engine revving while driving as the engine fails to carry out combustion of the air-fuel mixture in one or multiple cylinders. This also causes the car to decelerate all of a sudden and feel sluggish.
In case of the car's idle speed is irregular or the car feels sluggish while idling, this is indicative of the car engine revving on its own while driving.
Why does a car engine rev on its own?
These are the following reasons behind a car engine revving on its own:
- Faults in the car ignition system
- Defective spark plugs
- Defective fuel line
- Faulty fuel pump
- Faulty idle control valve
- Faulty EGR sensor
- A faulty throttle position sensor
- Defective fuel injectors
- Faulty oxygen sensor
Research has shown why cars running on automatic transmission face jerking motions in the event of changing the gears.

This blog post addressed the question, 'How to prevent a car engine from revving by itself?'
We understood the different reasons behind a car engine revving on its own, and also came across the various identification signs for a car engine revving on its own. Furthermore, the primary contributing factors for a car engine revving have also been discussed. Please feel free to comment on the content or ask any questions in the comments section below.
Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs): How to prevent a car engine from revving by itself?
What does it mean when your car keeps revving?
The problem likely lies in a faulty mass airflow sensor(MAF) or a faulty oxygen sensor, this causes the engine to produce less than the required power and thus start revving on its own while driving.
Why does engine rev up and down while driving?
These are the following causes of an engine revving up and down on its own while driving:
- Defective spark plugs
- Defective MAF sensor or air control valve
- Vacuum leakage
What does a car engine revving on its own mean?
A car engine that is revving on its own occurs when the vehicle suddenly feels sluggish and the engine is not able to produce sufficient power for optimum performance.

On Linux I have some generated C++ code from a static library that defines a global variable. A single instance of this global variable is shared between two shared libraries that refer to its symbol.
When the process shuts down and the static termination phase is run, I see that the destructor on this shared instance is run twice! Presumably once per library as each unloads.
This question is closely related to another I saw recently here: related question. This sounds like the same behavior, but there is no discussion about why it is happening.
Does anybody know the theoretical explanation behind this behavior?

[ A.K.A SEKMINËS – Seventh Sunday after Easter
In Lithuania and in neighboring countries, traditions of Pentecost are
related with the end of sowing and the start of summer labors. This is
a spring gathering and shepherds' holiday. The most distinctive feature
of Pentecost is nature worship. The power of nature was attributed to young,
green birch trees. It was believed that the birch tree can pass her vitality
to the soil, to animals, protect from illness and all evils. On the eve
of Pentecost, village girls dispersed in fields and woods in search of
flowers and greenery that were used to make wreaths. Young men picked branches
off birch trees, which they placed around doors, gates, inside porches
and in living rooms. Wreaths and bunches of flowers decorated the entire
house. Tables were covered with linen tablecloths, garden paths were sprinkled
with sand and greens. It was believed that the souls of the dead, while
visiting homes on Pentecost, rested on birch tree branches. Shepherds decorated
cows with birch wreaths, to keep them calm and together, be good milkers
and to please the mistress of the house so she would be kind and generous
throughout the year.
The writer, B.Buraèas described this tradition of decorating
the herds in his writings, saying that on the night before Pentecost, shepherds
returning home with the herd dressed the animals with birch and marsh marigold
wreaths. They even tied birch branches to cattle horns.
In some regions women placed a piece of bread in a white linen kerchief,
tied it with three double birch branches and tied this kerchief to their
apron sash believing this to be a protection from snake bites. Whipping
with bathing birchrods in bathhouses was believed to chase all ailments
out of the body. On Pentecost morning, the master of the house whipped
his cows to make them more active while grazing in the fields.
When Christianity came to Lithuania, churches began blessing grasses.
Then on this holiday, churches were decorated with birch trees and other
greenery. People arrived in church carrying bunches of greenery, which
were blessed. These blessed greens were set on fire and their smoke was
used to incense dying persons, new buildings and storm clouds. It was believed
that smoke from Pentecost greens had the power to chase away evil spirits,
protect buildings and send storm clouds away. Wayside crosses and ritual
tables were also decorated with Pentecost greenery.
J.Balys wrote in " Lithuanian Calendar Holidays" how plants are used
in charmings. First of all, many wreaths were twined and each one was given
a man's name. The largest wreath was given the name of the girl who wanted
to know the name chosen name. The wreaths are thrown into the well or into
the pond in the evening, so as not to be seen by anyone. Early in the morning
the girl went to see if her wreath was beside the largest wreath. If it
was, she would marry him.
Before Pentecost one must twine a large wreath of cornflowers with
three branches of rue in it. Before evening this wreath is placed on the
girl's head and fastened to the hair so it would not fall off. He, who
in a dream removes this wreath, will be the one too take away her virginity.
N.Gimbutas in " Baltic Mythology", wrote that there was tradition
to go to the woods on Pentecost. A birch tree was picked out, decorated
and taken into the village. About hundred years ago this was an important
ritual which involved the entire community.
On this holiday there are fire and water glorification rituals. The
church on Pentecost blessed fire and water. In many regions holy water
was sprinkled on grain seeds, so that they would sprout fast and that birds
would not peck at the grain. Sprinkling with holy water was meant to keep
insects away from the crops and keep ponds and rivers safe from drownings.
To keep horses well and give them shinny coats, their food was also sprinkled
with holy water.
After Pentecost, according to the folk calendar, it was safe to swim
in rivers and lakes, especially if these bodies of water were close to
churches, they were blessed by the priests to protect the swimmers from
drownings. Country folk poured holy water into their wells and ponds for
Pentecost is one bright day in the shepherds' year. This day was begun
by the blare of the herdsman's trumpet before sunrise, awakening the shepherds.
That day, every shepherd planned to take his herd out at the earliest and
play his small horn. Each shepherd made his own small horn for Pentecost
from osier or alder wood and added a hollow cow's horn to give it a better
As the animals were leaving the barn, they were incensed with burning,
dried herbs by the mistress of the house. The herd grazed until noon, then
the shepherds decorated the entire herd and themselves and returned to
the village singing and playing their horns. Then the feasting began, hosted
by the head herdsman.
Shepherds' outings were organized on Pentecost, called shepherds' omelet,
[ a.k.a. pautienë ]. In some regions shepherds stopped at homesteads
in the morning to pick up prepared foods, while in others they asked for
eggs, flour, butter, milk and salt so that they could bake their own omelet.
In Dzûkija the following greeting was voiced, " happy Pentecost,
spent happily and peacefully with horses neighing and cows mooing. I was
sent to you by the oxen for bread, for milk by the cows, by sheep for flour,
by hogs for bacon and fat, by the motley hens for eggs, by the rooster
for pancakes and by the shepherds for money". If some households gave nothing,
the returning herd was decorated with nettle wreaths and brooms tied to
the cows' horns, so that everyone would know about the stinginess of that
household.. However, most homeowners were generous because they knew that
by not giving the cows' milk would be decreased.
After collecting all he goodies, the shepherds went to feast, picnic
in the woods. After the omelet was baked, the shepherds went into the forest,
climbed a tree and called out to wolves and bears to come and have breakfast
with them, saying, " if you do not come out now, you will never come out
during the coming year". This is an ancient prayer, an incantation.
In some regions of the Highlands [ a.k.a. Aukðtaitija ], shepherds
were allowed to sleep in while the herding in the morning was carried out
by girls. They herded out very early, before the larks awakened. Hearing
the larks, village lads came out playing reed and pan pipes. They also
brought food, lit bonfires. The important ritual was made up of a game
called " Arrange a Wedding". The prettiest girl was chosen to play the
bride and a lad was chosen to play the groom, while other girls dressed
as bridesmaids. After the wedding rites, the newlyweds were taken to bed
in a granary, a tent made of tree branches. After that came their awakening
and the end of the wedding ritual games. People in ancient times believed
that peoples' sexual love and fertility stimulate earth's productivity.
On the second day of Pentecost, the hired hands together with the owner's
sons carried on in the same manner as the shepherds. They provided drinks
and music while maidens prepared the food. The maidens walked along fields
of grain, singing songs with magical meanings:
You osier, clover,
Green bush, clover,
How tall you grew, clover,
At the first gate, clover,
The sun rose, clover,
At the second gate, clover,
The moon trundled, clover,
At the third gate, clover,
The maiden walked, clover.
Entire families visited the rye fields. Checked both theirs' and neighbors'
fields and shared farming advice. In some regions, hired hands brewed beer
before Pentecost so that they could treat the owners after their walks
in the grain fields. Everyone gathers to eat and drink, while the young
people sing and dance.
Girls had separate amusements. They sat in a nice spot on a hill, twined
wreaths, cast lots, told tales, sang and walked around grain fields.
When Christianity spread throughout Lithuania, priests turned these
ancient walkings around grain fields into blessings of the grain fields.
People gathered in one farmstead upon the priests' arrival and went together
to bless the grain fields. Feasting took place after the blessing.
This tradition disappeared at the beginning of 20th
century, when villages broke up into individual farms.

Agroforestry gives Kenyan indigenous community a lifeline
The Cherangani people of Kenya were for generations reliant on the forest for hunting, gathering and agroforestry — a way of life that was curtailed by the colonial government. Today, Cherangani communities living on the edge of the forest have returned to their traditions, intercropping avocado, bean and coffee plants among trees that help reduce water runoff and soil erosion, and improve nutrient cycling.

Animations and MVVM
This week I was asked from a colleague of mine, 'How do I fire a command once a storyboard has completed?'. Do we have to break the MVVM here and write code behind. The answer is simple, HELL NO….
Attached Behavior to the rescue. Basically we can do this task by using an attached property, that will hook up to the Completed event of the storyboard and fire the command for us on the ViewModel. Here's how to do this
 1: var timeline = d as Timeline;
 2: if (timeline!= null &&!timeline.IsFrozen)
 3: {
 4: timeline.Completed += delegate
 5: {
 6: ICommand command = GetCommand(d);
 7: object param = GetCommandParameter(d);
 9: if(command!= null && command.CanExecute( param ))
 10: GetCommand(d).Execute(GetCommandParameter(d));
 11: };
 12: }
and here is how to use this in XAML
 1:
 2:
 3:

 8:
In the sample application (that is provided below with this article) shows how to animate some item in an items control and when the animation is completed the Storyboard executes a command that actually removes the item from the binding list.
I also created another simple class so that you can execute a Command from an EventTrigger. This is very handy since sometimes we want to execute a Command on a VM when some arbitrary RoutedEvent is raised. Here is the code for that
 1: public class CommandTimeline : Storyboard
 2: {
 3: protected override Duration GetNaturalDurationCore(Clock clock)
 4: {
 5: return new Duration(TimeSpan.FromTicks(1));
 6: }
 8: protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
 9: {
 10: return new CommandTimeline();
 11: }
 12: }
and here is how to consume it
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5:
As you can see this reuses the attached behavior that is used on normal storyboards. The only difference between a Storyboard and a CommandTimeline is that a CommandTimeline returns a Duration of 0 so the Completed event gets raised immediately.
PLEASE NOTE: This can be only used in an event trigger. When this is used with DataTriggers etc you will get an exception saying that the Trigger cannot be sealed. This happens because you cannot hook up to the Completed event of a storyboard in a DataTrigger/Trigger. In order to workaround this I use AttacedRoutedEvents so that I can have EventTriggers executing my commands.

Sync Multi Select Listbox with ViewModel
Today one of my colleagues at Infusion asked me how he could sync up the selection of a ListBox with his ViewModel. WPF supports already single mode selection via the ICollectionView yet when it comes to MultiSelect there is no out of the box support in WPF.
Attached Properties to the rescue ….. 🙂
I quickly when in my VS and wrote up a simple Attached property that hooks to the SelectionChanged event of the ListBox and populates a list of selected items to the ViewModel.
This is how the attached property looks like
 1: _TAG_ SelectedItems
 3: ///
 4: /// SelectedItems Attached Dependency Property
 5: ///
 6: public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemsProperty =
 7: DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("SelectedItems", typeof(IList), typeof(ListBoxHelper),
 8: new FrameworkPropertyMetadata((IList)null,
 9: new PropertyChangedCallback(OnSelectedItemsChanged)));
 11: ///
 12: /// Gets the SelectedItems property. This dependency property
 13: /// indicates....
 14: ///
 15: public static IList GetSelectedItems(DependencyObject d)
 16: {
 17: return (IList)d.GetValue(SelectedItemsProperty);
 18: }
 20: ///
 21: /// Sets the SelectedItems property. This dependency property
 22: /// indicates....
 23: ///
 24: public static void SetSelectedItems(DependencyObject d, IList value)
 25: {
 26: d.SetValue(SelectedItemsProperty, value);
 27: }
 29: ///
 30: /// Handles changes to the SelectedItems property.
 31: ///
 32: private static void OnSelectedItemsChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
 33: {
 34: var listBox = (ListBox)d;
 35: ReSetSelectedItems(listBox);
 36: listBox.SelectionChanged += delegate
 37: {
 38: ReSetSelectedItems(listBox);
 39: };
 40: }
 42: _TAG_
 44: private static void ReSetSelectedItems(ListBox listBox)
 45: {
 46: IList selectedItems = GetSelectedItems(listBox);
 47: selectedItems.Clear();
 48: if (listBox.SelectedItems!= null)
 49: {
 50: foreach (var item in listBox.SelectedItems)
 51: selectedItems.Add(item);
 52: }
 53: }
and here is how you would use it in the XAML
 1:
As you can see all you have to set is the List you want to populate in the ViewModel and the rest is taken care of by the Attached Property.
Please Note: This code was implemented quickly without any testing to prove an implementation idea, so please do review it before putting it in production 🙂

self, id)
 local function filterById(entry)
 print("filterById: ", entry.id, id)
 if entry.id == id then
 return true;
 end
 end
 for child in self:selectMatches(filterById) do
 return child;
 end
end
Here's a convenient function to do just that. And to use it:
local elem = doc:getElementById("linearGradient10460")
That will retrieve the second linear gradient of the pair of gradients from our svg fragment. That's great! And the syntax is looking very much like what I might write in javascript against the DOM. But, it's just a database!
Given the selectMatches(), you're not just limited to querying against attribute values. You can get at anything, and form as complex queries as you like. For example, you could find all the elements that are deep green, and turn them purple with a simple query loop.
Here's an example of finding all the elements of a particular kind:
local function test_selectElementMatches()
 print("<==== selectElementMatches: entry._kind == 'g' ====>")
 for child in doc:selectElementMatches(function(entry) if entry._kind == "g" then return true end end) do
 print(child._kind)
 end
end
Or finding all the elements that have a 'sodipodi' attribute of some kind:
local function test_selectAttribute()
 -- select the elements that have an attribute
 -- with the name 'sodipodi' in them
 local function hasSodipodiAttribute(entry)
 if type(entry) ~= "table" then
 return false;
 end
 for name, value in entry:attributes() do
 --print("hasSodipodi: ", entry._kind, name, value, type(name))
 if name:find("sodipodi") then
 return true;
 end
 end
 return false
 end
 for child in doc:selectElementMatches(hasSodipodiAttribute) do
 if type(child) == "table" then
 printElement(child)
 end
 end
end
Of course, just finding these elements is one thing. Once found, you can use this to filter out those elements you don't want. for example, eliminating the ones that are inkscape specific.
Well, there you have it. First, you can construct your svg programmatically using Lua syntax. Alternatively, you can simply parse a svg file into a lua structure. Last, you can query your document, no matter how it was constructed, for fun and profit.
Of course, the real benefit of being able to parse, and find elements and the like, is it makes manipulating the svg that much easier. Find the node that represents the graph of values, for example, and change those values over time for some form of animation…
SVG And Me
lineargradient
That's a simple linear gradient, generated from an SVG document that looks like this:

<svg viewBox = '0 0 120 120' version = '1.1' xmlns = '_URL_ width = '120' height = '120' xmlns:xlink = '_URL_
 <defs>
 <linearGradient id = 'MyGradient'>
 <stop stop-color = 'green' offset = '5%' />
 <stop stop-color = 'gold' offset = '95%' />
 </linearGradient>
 </defs>
 <rect x = '10' y = '10' height = '100' fill = 'url(#MyGradient)' width = '100' />
</svg>

Fair enough. And of course there are a thousand and one ways to generate .svg files. For various reasons, I am interested in generating .svg files on the fly in a Lua context. So, the code I used to generate this SVG document looks like this:
require("remotesvg.SVGElements")()
local FileStream = require("remotesvg.filestream")
local SVGStream = require("remotesvg.SVGStream")
local ImageStream = SVGStream(FileStream.open("test_lineargradient.svg"))
local doc = svg {
 width = "120",
 height = "120",
 viewBox = "0 0 120 120",
 ['xmlns:xlink'] ="_URL_
 defs{
 linearGradient {id="MyGradient",
 stop {offset="5%", ['stop-color']="green"};
 stop {offset="95%", ['stop-color']="gold"};
 }
 },
 rect {
 fill="url(#MyGradient)",
 x=10, y=10, width=100, height=100,
 },
}
doc:write(ImageStream);
This comes from my remotesvg project. If you squint your eyes, these look fairly similar I think. In the second case, it's definitely valid Lua script. Mostly it's nested tables with some well known types. But, where are all the parenthesis, and how can you just put a name in front of '{' and have that do anything?
OK, so Lua has some nice syntactics tricks up its sleeve that make certain things a bit easier. For example, there's this trick that if there's only a single parameter to a function, you can leave off the '()' combination. I've mentioned this before way long back when I was doing some Windows code, and supporting the "L" compiler thing for unicode literals.
In this case, it's about tables, and later we'll see about strings. The following two things are equivalent:
local function myFunc(tbl)
 for k,v in pairs(tbl) do
 print(k,v)
 end
end
myFunc({x=1, y=1, id="MyID"})
-- Or this slightly shorter form
myFunc {x=1, y=1, id="MyID"}
OK. So that's how we get rid of those pesky '()' characters, which don't add to the conversation. In lua, since tables are a basic type, I can easily include tables in tables, nesting as deeply as I please. So, what's the other trick here then? The fact that all those things before the '{' are simply the names of tables. This is one area where a bit of trickery goes a long way. I created a 'base type' if you will, which knows how to construct these tables from a function, and do the nesting, and ultimately print out SVG. It looks like this:
--[[
 SVGElem
 A base type for all other SVG Elements.
 This can do the basic writing
--]]
local BasicElem = {}
setmetatable(BasicElem, {
 __call = function(self, ...)
 return self:new(...);
 end,
})
local BasicElem_mt = {
 __index = BasicElem;
}
function BasicElem.new(self, kind, params)
 local obj = params or {}
 obj._kind = kind;
 setmetatable(obj, BasicElem_mt);
 return obj;
end

How to Magnetize a Screwdriver
In this Article:Article SummaryUsing a MagnetUsing a BatteryCommunity Q&A12 References
You know the feeling: your arm crooked into a crevice, the screwdriver barely long enough to reach, and the clatter of a screw slipping down to the floor. Save yourself the pain next time by turning your screwdriver into a long-lasting magnet.
1
Using a Magnet
 1. 1
 Choose a strong bar magnet. The stronger the magnet, the easier it will be to magnetize the screwdriver. Ideally, find a neodymium magnet or other rare-earth magnet with a pull force of at least ¼ pound.[1] These are available at hardware stores or online.
 - If you don't mind destroying an old hard drive, you can disassemble it to get two strong magnets.[2]
 2. 2
 Wipe the screwdriver clean. Remove any grime from the screwdriver. If you need to use a damp cloth, dry the tool thoroughly afterward.[3]
 3. 3
 Slide the magnet from the handle to the tip. Touch one end of the magnet to the metal surface of the screwdriver, next to the handle. Drag it down to the tip. This causes small magnetic regions (domains) in the steel to align in the direction of the magnet's field.[4]
 - On a large screwdriver, magnetize the half closest to the tip instead of the whole tool.
 4. 4
 Repeat this motion in the same direction. Take the magnet off the screwdriver, then drag it from the handle to the tip again. Repeat this several times, using the same end of the magnet each time.
 - Do not drag the magnet back from the tip to the handle. This will undo your work.
 5. 5
 Rotate and repeat. Rotate the screwdriver by a quarter turn. Drag the magnet from handle to tip again several times. Repeat with the third and fourth sides of the screwdriver.
 6. 6
 Test the screwdriver. If the screwdriver can't pick up a screw magnetically, repeat the process. If it still doesn't work after ten passes on each side, try again with a stronger magnet.
 - A hard steel screwdriver can stay magnetized for months. If you'd like to demagnetize it, run the magnet back the other way (tip to handle), or whack the screwdriver against the wall a few times to scramble its magnetic domains again.[5]
2
Using a Battery
 1. 1
 Strip the insulation from both ends of a piece of wire. Cut off a piece of wire at least 3 ft. (0.9m) long, then strip about an inch (2.5 cm) of insulation off each end.
 - Thin wire can overheat, while thick wire will be less effective. Try 16–22 AWG (1.3–0.6mm diameter) wire.[6][7]
 - Thinner insulation enables stronger magnetization. Enamel-coated wire gives the best results.[8] To strip the enamel off the ends, rub the wire with 220-grit sandpaper.[9]
 2. 2
 Coil the wire around the screwdriver. Wrap the wire tight around the screwdriver shaft ten to twenty times. You can double back for a second layer if the screwdriver is too short, but don't reverse the direction of the loop. (For example, you can move left—right—left along the screwdriver, but make sure to wind every loop clockwise.) Tape the wire in place if necessary.
 3. 3
 Attach the wires to a household battery. Attach the wire ends to the terminals of a 6V or 9V battery. The current flowing through the coils will create a magnetic field, which in turn magnetizes the screwdriver.
 - Using higher voltage batteries is not recommended unless you have experience handling them safely. Anything more powerful than a 9 volt battery only needs to be connected for a split second to magnetize the screwdriver.[10] Wear insulated gloves to protect from shocks and sparks.
 4. 4
 Disconnect the battery. The screwdriver will always be magnetic while connected to the battery, but the wire and battery terminals will heat up quickly.[11] Disconnect the battery after 30 to 60 seconds, then try to pick up a screw with the screwdriver. In most cases, it will still be magnetic.
 - If the screwdriver loses its magnetism after the battery is disconnected, wrap a few more loops of wire and try again.

 Tips
 - If you don't have a magnet or a battery, you can weakly magnetize a screwdriver using nothing but a hammer![12] Tape the screwdriver down so the tip points to magnetic north. Strike it with the hammer many times. This jostles the magnetic domains enough to line up with the earth's magnetic field.
 - The screwdriver will become less magnetic over time. Dropping the screwdriver or hitting things with it will demagnetize it more quickly.
 Warnings
 - Some electronic components can be damaged by magnets. A magnetized screwdriver is usually not strong enough to cause issues, but use it at your own risk.
 - Powerful neodymium magnets (including any salvaged from hard drives) can pinch your fingers hard enough to draw blood. Handle with caution.
 - Do not use non-insulated wire to connect your screwdriver to the battery. The current will short across the wire instead of producing a magnetic field — and will shock anyone who touches it.
 Things You'll Need
 Magnet Method
 - Screwdriver
 - Strong magnet (at least ¼ pound)
 Battery Method
 - Screwdriver
 - 16–22 AWG (1.3–0.6mm diameter) wire
 - Wire strippers (or sandpaper for enamel-coated wire)
 - Tape
 - 9 volt battery
 Article SummaryX
 To magnetize a screwdriver with a battery, start by stripping the insulation from the ends of a piece of wire. Then, wrap the wire around your screwdriver 10-20 times. Once the wire is around the screwdriver, attach the ends of the wire to a 6V or 9V battery. You should then wait 30-60 seconds for the current flowing through the wire to create a magnetic field before you disconnect the battery and use your newly magnetized screwdriver. Alternatively, you can get a strong bar magnet and drag it in the same direction along every side of your screwdriver to magnetize it. To learn what kind of wire works best and how to strip it before you magnetize your screwdriver with it, read on!

. Get yourself in the "failure" mindset and you will think of things that you wouldn't have otherwise.
The Importance of Upgrade or Migration Checklists
If you do decide to do an upgrade (whether in place or migration) you should seriously consider creating a checklist and using this checklist in each environment. You should include a bunch of things in this checklist, not the least of which:
 1. At the Start - Do some things like perform a test upgrade, test your applications on the latest Database Compatibility level and consider running a tool like the SQL Server Upgrade Advisor ahead of time to see what sort of tasks you need to complete before doing the SQL Server upgrade or migration.
 2. Pre Steps - Cleanup, OS tasks, patching ahead of time, preparing applications for the upgrade (clean shutdowns, connection string work), backups, etc.
 3. Upgrade/Migration Steps - Everything you have to do for the upgrade or migration to succeed and in the right order. Installation, changing (or not changing depending on your testing and approach) compatibility mode changes to databases, etc.
 4. Post Migration/Upgrade Steps - Various tests, post new version or new server configuration options, best practice implementation, security changes, etc.
 5. Rollback Steps - All along the way you should have rollback steps and milestones. If you get this far and this happens, what will you do? What are "do a full rollback" criteria? And how do you do that rollback (reverse connection string changes, change back settings, go back to the old version, reinstall if an in place, point back to the old server if a migration, etc.)
And then have the person who will be doing the production upgrade follow the checklist in some environment other than production - especially one that closes resembles production if possible ("South of prod", as I say...) and note any issues or points where they had to divert from the checklist or improvise because of a lack in the checklist. Then get the changes merged in and have fun with your production change.
I can not over stress the importance of testing thoroughly post migration or upgrade and ahead of your migration enough. Making a rollback decision in the midst of an upgrade should be an easy one - especially during a migration. If there is something uncomfortable, rollback and figure it out if you can't troubleshoot it effectively and reliably in the heat of the migration. Once you are live on this new environment and users connect - rollback becomes a difficult task. You can't restore a SQL Server database to an earlier version. That means manual work and data migrations. I always wait a couple weeks to kill the old environment but you should do all you can to avoid needing that old environment by finding all of your issues before your live users ever touch the new environment. Preferably before you even kick off the upgrade/migration.
Quick note about SQL Server Reporting Services migration/upgrade Migrating an SSRS installation isn't quite a herculean task that many think it is. This technet/books online article is actually quite handy. One of the most important admonitions in that article is "Back up the encryption keys" especially if you have a lot of saved sensitive information like scheduled report e-mail recipient e-mail addresses, connection information for a multitude of connections, etc. You can ask one of my clients from awhile back how important that is. They know because I messed that step up and spent quite a lot of time modifying report schedules and connection string permissions.

Mike's answers hit the points very well. I'd read his 'a bit more' section and use the risk analysis I mentioned to come up with a decision. – Ali Razeghi Nov 27 '12 at 1:21

Procrastination, the foundation of many vote worthy answers. – Mark Storey-Smith Nov 27 '12 at 1:54
thanks Mike, I know its not strictly a question that can be answered, as is a LITTLE discussion-like. But I was preparing to flatten the box as usual and rebuild the OS, etc as usual. Then I thought it interesting to see general consensus had changed, i'm sure some others will find this a useful post too down the line and that is one of the major objectives I guess – DamagedGoods Nov 27 '12 at 2:33
In my experience, the same decision making process should be made as prior. AFAIK there hasn't been any 'world changers' with SQL Server installation, within the MS SQL Server product in itself, and the potential problems you have when rolling out software with millions of lines of code. Something bad could happen and now you're stuck with no 'ROLLBACK' option.
You do however have other alternatives in place. You could consider making a snapshot of the system, restore elsewhere, perform the upgrade and see what happens. This test should give you a lot of comfort, but it doesn't absolutely guarantee no problems will arise on the prod box. However, this is an option that was not available back in SQL 6.5 days.
I would just assume the worst case scenario. You do a in place upgrade and it fails miserably. You have to then recover from this within your RTO and RCO. Does the business understand the risks and do you have plans in place to mitigate it?
If the business is not OK with this, then don't do it would be my advice.

"I would just assume the worst case scenario." +1 - Sage advice for any DBA task. Good answer. – Mike Walsh Nov 27 '12 at 2:02
If you have your servers running in a virtual environment, you can perform a snapshot on a clone and then apply the in-place upgrade and test the instance to verify the upgrade was successful. If it works, you can apply the snapshot and make the clone the production server. If it goes poorly, you can delete the snapshot and go back to the pre-upgrade image to try again, or delete the clone and to a full migration.
share|improve this answer
Only if the storage is also virtualized and part of the snapshot. If the storage is directly attached to the VM it won't be 'rolled back' when the snapshot is restored... – Remus Rusanu Dec 29 '13 at 17:08
Nothing is wrong with either approach per se -- I've done both and both the outcomes are typically good.
If there is a problem with the migration approach, it's not technical: it's laziness. Too often I find that the reason a company hasn't gone fully to xxxx version yet is because they chose a swing migration and never got around to do the hard work to completely move. Now they have two or more sets of servers instead of one.

Water as the Key to Proto-Aragonite Amorphous CaCO3
Number of Authors: 5
2016 (English)In: Angewandte Chemie International Edition, ISSN _PHONE_, E-ISSN _PHONE_, Vol. 55, no 28, 8117-8120 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Temperature and pH value can affect the short-range order of proto-structured and additive-free amorphous calcium carbonates (ACCs). Whereas a distinct change occurs in proto-vaterite (pv) ACC above 45 degrees C at pH 9.80, proto-calcite (pc) ACC (pH 8.75) is unaffected within the investigated range of temperatures (7-65 degrees C). IR and NMR spectroscopic studies together with EXAFS analysis showed that the temperature-induced change is related to the formation of proto-aragonite (pa) ACC. The data strongly suggest that the binding of water molecules induces dipole moments across the carbonate ions in pa-ACC as in aragonite, where the dipole moments are due to the symmetry of the crystal structure. Altogether, a (pseudo-)phase diagram of the CaCO3 polyamorphism in which water plays a key role can be formulated based on variables of state, such as the temperature, and solution parameters, such as the pH value.

cancan (kănˈkăn) [key], a lively French dance marked chiefly by high kicking. It was developed in Paris in the 1830s and became a popular social dance there. By the mid-19th cent. it was incorporated into dance revues and stage productions. Jacques Offenbach wrote the best-known cancan music. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec made celebrated paintings and lithographs of famous cancan dancers.

Effect of the In-Situ Stress Field on Casing Failure
Based on the geologic structure, seismic data, exploitation information and the data of rock mechanics tests in Qinghai oil field, the finite element mechanics model of delaminated in-situ stress with a great deal of complicated faults was set up with ANSYS software. The stress concentration area, tensile stress area and compression stress area of the oil field were determined according to the rock's Drucker-Prager rule. The distribution of casing failure in the oil field indicated that it was closely relative to those areas. By applying the study of the paper and taking some preventing measures, the casing failure was controlled and the economic benefit had been evidently growing up. This paper offers a new study method to prevent casing failure and the theoretic reference for the mechanism study of casing failure.
