.test
There is an implementation of just the test discovery (well, plus load_tests) to work with standard unittest. The discover module:
pip install discover
python -m discover
If a test module defines a load_tests function it will be called to create the test suite for the module.
This example loads tests from two specific TestCases:
def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
 suite = unittest.TestSuite()
 case1 = loader.loadTestsFromTestCase(TestCase1)
 case2 = loader.loadTestsFromTestCase(TestCase2)
 return suite
The tests argument is the standard tests that would be loaded from the module by default as a TestSuite. If you just want to add extra tests you can just call addTests on this. pattern is only used in the of test packages when loaded from test discovery. This allows the load_tests function to continue (and customize) test discovery into the package. In normal test modules pattern will be None.
Cleanup Functions with addCleanup
This is an extremely powerful new feature for improving test readability and making tearDown obsolete! Push clean-up functions onto a stack, at any point including in setUp, tearDown or inside clean-up functions, and they are guaranteed to be run when the test ends (LIFO).
def test_method(self):
 temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
 self.addCleanup(shutil.rmtree, temp_dir)
No need for nested try:... finally: blocks in tests to clean up resources.
The full signature for addCleanup is: self.addCleanup(function, *args, **kwargs). Any additional args or keyword arguments will be passed into the cleanup function when it is called. It saves the need for nested try:..finally: blocks to undo actions performed by the test.
If setUp() fails, meaning that tearDown() is not called, then any cleanup functions added will still be called. Exceptions raises inside cleanup functions will cause the test to report an error, but all cleanup functions will still run.
If you want to manually clear out the cleanup stack you can call doCleanups().
Test Skipping
Decorators that work as class or method decorators for conditionally or unconditionally skipping tests:
_USER_("skip this test")
def test_method(self):
_USER_(sys.version_info[2] < 5, "only Python > 2.5")
def test_method(self):
_USER_(sys.version_info[2] < 5, "only Python < 2.5")
def test_method(self):
More Skipping
def test_method(self):
 self.skipTest("skip, skippety skip")
def test_method(self):
 raise SkipTest("whoops, time to skip")
def test_that_fails(self):'this *should* fail')
Ok, so expectedFailure isn't for skipping tests. You use it for test that are known to fail currently. If you fix the problem, so the test starts to pass, then it will be reported as an unexpected success. This will remind you to go back and remove the expectedFailure decorator.
Skipped tests appear in the report as'skipped (s)', so the number of tests run will always be the same even when skipping.
As class decorator
If you skip an entire class then all tests in that class will be skipped.
# for Python >= 2.6
_USER_(sys.platform == 'win32')
class SomeTest(TestCase)
# Python pre-2.6
class SomeTest(TestCase)
SomeTest = skipIf(sys.platform == 'win32')(SomeTest)
Class and Module Level Fixtures
You can now define class and module level fixtures; these are versions of setUp and tearDown that are run once per class or module.
Class and module level fixtures are implemented in TestSuite. When the test suite encounters a test from a new class then tearDownClass from the previous class (if there is one) is called, followed by setUpClass from the new class.
After all the tests in the suite have run the final tearDownClass and tearDownModule are run.
setUpClass and tearDownClass
These must be implemented as class methods.
import unittest
class Test(unittest.TestCase):
 def setUpClass(cls):
 cls._connection = createExpensiveConnectionObject()
 def tearDownClass(cls):
setUpModule and tearDownModule
These should be implemented as functions.
def setUpModule():
def tearDownModule():
The Details
The default ordering of tests created by the unittest test loaders is to group all tests from the same modules and classes together. This will lead to setUpClass / setUpModule (etc) being called exactly once per class and module. If you randomize the order so that tests from different modules and classes are adjacent to each other then these shared fixture functions may be called multiple times.
If there are any exceptions raised during one of these functions / methods then the test is reported as an error. Because there is no corresponding test instance an _ErrorHolder object (that has the same interface as a TestCase) is created to represent the error. If you are just using the standard unittest test runner then this detail doesn't matter, but if you are a framework author it may be relevant.
Note that shared fixtures do not play well with features like test parallelization and they also break test isolation. They should be used with care.
A setUpModule or setUpClass that raises a SkipTest exception will be reported as skipped instead of as an error.
Minor Changes
There are a host of other minor changes, some of them steps towards making unittest more extensible. For full details on these see the documentation:
 - unittest is now a package instead of a module
 - Better messages with the longMessage class attribute
 - TestResult: startTestRun and stopTestRun
 - TextTestResult public and the TextTestRunner takes a runnerclass argument for providing a custom result class (you used to have to subclass TextTestRunner and override _makeResult)
 - TextTestResult adds the test name to the test description even if you provide a docstring
setuptools test command
Included in unittest2 is a test collector compatible with the setuptools test command. This allows you to run:
python test
and have all your tests run. They will be run with a standard unittest test runner, so a few features (like expected failures and skips) don't work fully, but most features do. If you have setuptools or distribute installed you can see it in action with the unittest2 test suite.
To use it specify test_suite = 'unittest2.collector' in your This starts test discovery with the default parameters from the directory containing, so it is perhaps most useful as an example (see the unittest2/ module).
The unittest2 Package
To use the new features with earlier versions of Python:
pip install unittest2
Replace import unittest with import unittest2. An alternative pattern for conditionally using unittest2 where it is available is:
 import unittest2 as unittest
except ImportError:
 import unittest
python -m unittest... works in Python 2.7 even though unittest is a package. In Python 2.4-2.6 this doesn't work (packages can't be executed with -m).
The unittest2 command line functionality is provided with the unit2 / script.
Classes in unittest2 derive from the equivalent classes in unittest, so it should be possible to use the unittest2 test running infrastructure without having to switch all your tests to using unittest2 immediately. Similarly you can use the new assert methods on unittest2.TestCase with the standard unittest test running infrastructure. Not all of the new features in unittest2 will work with the standard unittest test loaders and runners however.
There is also the discover module if all you want is test discovery: python -m discover (same command line options).
The Future
The big issue with unittest is extensibility. This is being addressed in an experimental "plugins branch" of unittest2, which is being used as the basis of a new version of nose:
 - No, unittest2 won't support functions as tests out of the box.
 - No, the assert methods on TestCase won't be broken out into separate functions.
 - No, the APIs won't be made PEP8 compliant.
The signal handling, the -c command line option, should work on all CPython platforms. It doesn't work correctly on Jython or IronPython that have missing or incomplete implementations of the signal module.
There is a feature in unittest2 that isn't in Python 2.7 (yet), the removeHandler function. This can either be used as a standalone function or as a decorator for test methods that use the signal.SIGINT handler and so can't be executed with the unittest2 control-c handling in place:

I'm reading a novel called Persepolis for my English course, and it's about a girl named Marji that grows up during the 1979 Revolution. The author's intention with the novel is to break Western stereotypes of Iran and to show what it was like growing up during that time period. Marji is a fictional character, but she is supposed to represent the younger version of the author (Marjane Satrapi), who actually lived in Iran during the revolution. What would this technique of representing yourself as a character be called? I found out through Google that it's called "self-insertion", but I don't know if that's right because the whole book revolves around Marji.
There are several related terms and it's not clear what applies without knowing the novel. There's a difference between representing your life story and representing your opinions.
An autobiographical novel (Wikipedia) is a fictionalised version of an author's life, possibly with names and other details changed. A semi-autobiographical novel is similar, but more heavily fictionalised (probably with incidents that never happened but generally approximating reality). Autobiographical fiction is a similar term for works in genres other than the novel.
Autofiction is another term for blending autobiography and fiction; according to Wikipedia it typically refers to more experimental writing and is generally written in the third person while an autobiographical novel is in the first person. (There are other similar terms too, but a lot are the invention of a small number of writers.)
Self-insertion would refer to inserting yourself in a larger narrative; the other terms above generally refer to a narrative centred on the author-character. Similar to this an author surrogate is a character based on the author, who doesn't necessarily live out the author's actual life or experiences, but is used to express the author's point of view. A difference is that self-insertion is often more pejorative, often referring to an idealised version of the author (sometimes called a Mary Sue), and it is often associated with fan fiction. (Wikipedia's article on self-insertion is short but refers to an "idealized character" who represents the author.) I don't think either author surrogate or self-insertion is the best term here.
It's simply called the Author's Alter Ego - the alternative me.
It can be a character inspired in the writer with add-ons, generally positive traits. Or simply can be a fanciful character which the writer desires to be
Most of the time such operation suffers from a psychological limit: you portray yourself not exactly how you are but pretty generally as how you would like to be seen by others. It's somehow a mark for the posterity, or at least what you would like people in general would talk of you.
Such choices are generally driven by inner needs most of them developed yet on childhood. Not trustable at all.


Brooks Instrument Mass Flow Control Technology Featured in Food Engineering Magazine
MFCs are used in a variety of food & beverage manufacturing processes to provide a measurable, continuous amount of gas to complete the recipe.
Al Harvey, Industrial Flow Specialist for Brooks Instrument, contributed to the article "Using Sensors to Improves Processes" in the February edition of Food Engineering.
HATFIELD, Pa. (February 18, 2021) In the February Tech Update of Food Engineering magazine, Wayne Labs authors, "Using Sensors to Improve Processes." Labs mentions how "there's a myriad of other sensing devices that you use in everyday products-from toys to dishwashers to automobiles." Sensors and controllers are even used in food and beverage operations to control the processes. "The food and beverage manufacturing applications that our MFCs focus on include ice cream, cheese, butter, yogurt, cell-based meat and the fermentation of beer and wine," says Al Harvey, industrial flow specialist. "Each application requires a measurable, continuous amount of air, carbon dioxide or other gasses to complete the recipes," he adds.
"A challenging food application using conventional sensors is the process of making ice cream," says Harvey. "Our MFCs inject measurable and repeatable amounts of air into the cream for it to reach a specific weight as well as a smooth and creamy look and texture. In conjunction with other devices, when cream is injected into cakes, our MFCs allow for consistency in the process so each cake has the same amount of cream."
Labs also adds, "In order to speed up the fermentation process of beer and wine, MFCs allow for a controlled and automated process to activate the yeast in order to make more recipes and maximize production. An oxygen sensor is used to provide feedback to the MFC to control the oxygen flow at peak level.
For its brewing process, Rahr Eagle Brewery wanted better control of its fermentation process. The brewery had been using variable area flowmeters to measure mechanically compressed air injection to increase oxygen content. However, the brewery wanted to use pure oxygen to activate the yeast—in which case precise sensing and control was needed." The brewery replaced variable area flow meters by installing a Brooks Instrument SLAMf mass flow controller with a NEMA4X/IP66 enclosure to precisely control and automate pure oxygen levels.

The Ministry of Transport and Highways has decided to enforce the law against drivers who drive less than the minimum speed on the highway. (Sri Lanka Latest News)
It is with the revelation that most of the accidents reported on the expressway are caused by drivers who drive at a low speed instead of the prescribed speed.
Accordingly, the Road Development Authority has been instructed to introduce a minimum speed between 60 and 70 kilometres per hour while maintaining the current maximum speed of 100 kilometres per hour.
Accordingly, fines are also to be issued to drivers who travel at a low speed in such a way that accidents may occur.
The Director General of that authority L.V.S. Weerakoon mentions that the minimum speed limit will be introduced before the end of this month.


Morbid Obesity Alters Both Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Propofol: Dosing Recommendation for Anesthesia Induction.
Drug metabolism and disposition : the biological fate of chemicals
PubMedID: 27481855
Dong D, Peng X, Liu J, Qian H, Li J, Wu B. Morbid Obesity Alters Both Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Propofol: Dosing Recommendation for Anesthesia Induction. Drug Metab Dispos. 2016;.
The prevalence of obesity has markedly increased worldwide. Obese patients pose significant challenges to anesthesiologists with regard to accurate dosing of anesthetics due to potentially altered pharmacokinetics (PK). Here we determined the PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) of propofol for anesthesia induction in morbidly obese (MO) subjects (body mass index >35 kg/m(2)) at two dosing regimens: dosing based on total body weight and lean body weight (LBW), respectively. The propofol pharmacokinetic profile was well fitted with a two-compartment model. Both elimination clearance (223%-243% of controls, who had a body mass index <25 kg/m(2); P < 0. 01) and peripheral compartment volume (156%-180% of controls; P < 0. 01) were significantly increased in MO subjects, resulting in an equal or decreased propofol level in plasma (total body weight-based dosing). Furthermore, propofol PD (measured by the bispectral index) was adequately described by a PK/PD model that linked an effect compartment to the two-compartment PK model through a sigmoidal Emax model. All PD parameters except EC50 values (the half maximal effect concentration) were similar (P > 0. 05) between MO subjects and controls. Morbid obesity led to a significant decrease (37. 9%-38. 6%; P < 0. 01) in EC50 values, which suggests increased brain sensitivity to propofol in the MO population. Moreover, dose reduction (i. e. , dosing based on LBW) generated identical anesthetic effects in MO subjects compared with controls. In conclusion, morbid obesity significantly altered both PK and PD of propofol. LBW was a better weight-based dosing scalar for anesthesia induction with propofol in MO subjects.

FOLEY BRANCH. Foley Branch rises a mile northwest of Ezzell in south central Lavaca County (at 29°17' N, 96°55' W) and runs east for 2½ miles through wooded rangeland to its mouth on the Lavaca River, at the bottom of Tiger Bend (at 29°17' N, 96°53' W). The creek traverses gently sloping terrain surfaced by deep clay loam soils. Though the area is usually well-drained, it is subject to flooding. Local vegetation ranges from scattered oak clusters on the prairie to grape-hung thickets of oak, pecan, sycamore, and yaupon near the mouth of the stream. Foley Branch is named for the pioneer Foley family, whose members included Mason B. and H. S. Foley, who fought with John Coffee Hays's company during the Texas Revolution.

Virtually adopting one of our orphaned orangutans is a wonderful way to support our work. Learn how we evaluate the orangutans for our adoption program and why you help us tremendously by joining our adoption family in the interview with Lalita Tri Adila. You will also get to understand how she coordinates the orangutan adoption program at the BOS Foundation's headquarters in Indonesia.
1. Jeni and Monyo are the latest babies added to our adoption program. Can you tell our readers how you select the orangutans for the program?
Usually, we will select new adoption candidates when the previous ones graduate from forest school. It is then that our teams, both in the head office and at the programs of Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari, start by reviewing a list of forest school students and their background stories.
Before we decide, we discuss in-depth with the veterinarians about their health histories and if there are any current concerns. We also consult with the surrogate mothers about their personalities and the progress the students have been making at Forest School. We don't only look for a strong background story that illustrates the severe threats that orangutans face, but we also consider their behavioral attributes such as their distinct personalities and their consistent development of skills.
For example, Jeni was traumatized when she first came to the Nyaru Menteng Rehabilitation Centre, but she was able to break free of her trauma and become a young, cheerful, and energetic female. Monyo was chosen because he quickly gets along with other orangutans and is extraordinarily curious. We are very excited to share their stories with you through our adoption program.
2. When our supporters adopt an orangutan, they not only help this specific orangutan. What else do they support?
Our goal is for the adoption program to be one way for supporters to learn about orangutan conservation and ease the financial burden we face running the entire rehabilitation process. Therefore, as an adopter, you not only support the specific orangutans who are up for adoption but all the orangutans under our care.
The rehabilitation process is long and very complex, requiring a lot of money. We currently have over 400 orangutans who need daily attention, including food, vet care, transportation when moving to pre-release islands and release sites, and permanent sanctuary care for all of our unreleasable orangutans.
For a small monthly sum, you can make a real difference and help all orphaned orangutans survive and thrive!
3. What makes the adoption program so special for supporters?
Through the adoption program, you get to follow the orangutans' stories and learn about our work along the way. We will send you updates regularly and help create a connection between you and the orangutan you adopt. You will feel like a parent who is always curious about your child's progress at school!
Furthermore, the orangutan adoption program is also the perfect way for you to be responsible for the care and survival of orangutans and their habitat long-term. This program is more impactful and more exciting than a one-time donation, as it represents your continued commitment to both the particular orangutan you adopted and the species as a whole.
Many of our supporters also purchase orangutan adoptions as a special gift for their relatives and loved ones to ensure that their gift is not wasteful and has a direct and positive impact on the environment. By gifting an orangutan adoption, you also help us spread awareness about orangutan conservation. Recently, it has been popular for fans to send adoption packages as virtual gifts to their favorite idols, and we ensure that the adoption certificates are actually in their idol's name.
4. How important is the adoption program for BOS?
This program is very important to us, not only as a source of funding and extended financial security due to the long-term nature of the adoption program but also as a way to spread awareness and educate people around the world about the importance of orangutan and habitat conservation. Therefore, we really hope this program will continue to grow, and more supporters like you will adopt orangutans.
I also hope that other foundations that work to protect wildlife develop their own programs so that public awareness of the importance of protecting all wildlife grows even more! We need to change the trend of people keeping wild animals at home into a responsible movement that supports conservation programs that prioritize the welfare of wild animals and the protection of their habitat.
Are you ready to support our lifesaving work by symbolically adopting one of our orphans? Wonderful! You receive a personalized certificate and quarterly updates on your orangutan's progress for just $5 / £3 per month.


Tertiary Butylhydroquinone Side Effects
Tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone) E319 is used as a preservative for unsaturated vegetable oils and many edible animal fats. Though Tert-Butylhydroquinone E319 is considered safe, some are convinced it has potentially dangerous health effects.
What Is Tertiary Butylhydroquinone E319?
Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) E319 is a white or light mahogany crystalline powder that is soluble in ethanol, acetic acid, ethyl ester, aether and vegetable oil, and lard. It plays a role in antisepsis for most of the oils, especially vegetable oil. This product is often used in margarine, nuts, potato chips, instant noodles, and oils.
Possible Side Effects of Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) E319
Although Tertiary Butylhydroquinone E319 generally regarded as a very safe and effective supplement, there can be some minor side effects. The side effects may:
 - nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium and collapse.
GRAS Affirmation: Yes
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements. Tertiary Butylhydroquinone is considered safe.
Suggested Dosage
NA.
Special Populations Precaution
There is a lot of concern about diet and nutrition for these population, like Newborns, children, pregnant, sensitive to Tertiary Butylhydroquinone populations. Better consult to your doctor if you would like to intake Tertiary Butylhydroquinone.

Electron backscattered diffraction and atomic force microscopy analysis of slip bands induced by fatigue in 316L austenitic stainless steelL. Sabatier, P. Villechaise and J.C. Girard
Laboratoire de Mécanique et de Physique des Matériaux, UMR 6617 du CNRS, ENSMA, BP. 40109, 86961 Futuroscope Chasseneuil cedex, France
The techniques of Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) have been associated to study surface slip features on 316L austenitic stainless steel polycrystals tested in the Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) range. EBSD investigations allow the identification of activated slip planes for each grain, the determination of slip directions based on Schmid factors calculations as the local inclination of the slip plane according to the surface. AFM allows the measurement of steps height induced at the surface along slip bands and also the characterization of the local morphology of extrusions at a nanometric scale. In this study both techniques are used on the same surface of interest in order to combine crystallographic and topographic information. Consequently a schematic model of the slip band emergence is proposed.

Studies on Electron Transfer Properties of Oligomeric Porphyrin
Following the previous study [Chemistry Letters 2007, 10, 1278.] on specific electron transport pathway in porphyrin, the electron transfer through oligomeric porphyrin molecular wires was studied in this work using first principle density function theory and non-equilibrium Green's function calculations. The effects of chain length on the transportation behavior were discussed in terms of the electronic structures and transmission spectra. Through the analysis of spatial distribution of molecular frontier orbit we found that with the chain length increased, the whole delocalization of molecular frontier orbit enlarged, so e-transitivity became better. The results demonstrated that the frontier orbital energy gap decreased when the chain length increased, so that it should be conductive to electronic transmission. We presumed that the oligomeric porphyrin can be used to make moleculer electronic devices.

This is mainly a philosophical problem: what are opposites?
You can only have opposites if you have a frame of reference. In one context, the opposite of man can be woman; in another, it can be beast or nature or child, and so on. Metaphorically speaking, you need a mirror to reflect against, or a hinge to pivot around. You need to reduce the number of options to two for there to be an opposite.
In many cases, using a negation can be an obvious way to do this, because you basically divide the entire spectrum of possibilities into x and "not x": unfriendliness can be the opposite of friendliness, and unloved can be the opposite of loved. It could be said that a negation provides a mirror. So you could say the opposite of Schadenfreude is not Schadenfreude, which would mean simply the absence of Schadenfreude.
However, the more specific a word or concept is, the more other possibilities you are grouping under "opposite" by simply using a negation: there are many kinds of not-Schadenfreude, you could say. That is why it doesn't seem a very satisfying kind of opposite in this case.
We could instead decide to focus on the aspect joy, and mirror it along the spectrum of "good" versus "bad" emotions. Even then, there seem to be two options: anger and sorrow. You could be sad about someone else's misfortune, or angry. So the spectrum of good v. bad emotions is not even specific enough. Both could be used as opposites.
The aspect of misfortune could be used as well, and we could choose the spectrum of good versus bad things happening to someone else. Then the opposite good fortune would be fitting, so you could be happy about someone else's good fortune.
What we did here was pick just one element of meaning expressed by the word and find some frame of reference in which to mirror it. If you take several elements at once and mirror them each, like feeling angry (or sad) about the good fortune of others, then you have less of the original meaning left (neither joy nor the other's misfortune), and so it is less recognizable as an opposite. But you could still consider it an opposite.
No doubt other opposites could be created, such as eh...the most commonly used English word used in German (could be cool), assuming that Schadenfreude is the most commonly used German word in English. You could say that is an opposite as well; it is just based on very different elements, namely the frequency of the word, its original language, and the language we are using it in now. Possibilities are endless, and none seem categorically different from others. For that reason, there are no meaningful words for different opposites: each word just has different options.


A comparison between the oscillometric and the auscultatory method for ambulatory 24 h blood pressure monitoring.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the compatibility between oscillometric and auscultatory methods, and to determine whether one is preferable over the other for ambulatory 24 h blood pressure monitoring.
METHODS: For the blood pressure monitoring system we used an A&D TM 2421 device (Takeda), which enabled us to measure the blood pressure simultaneously with the two methods on the same arm. Our investigation included 281 patients (122 women and 159 men, aged 18-85 years) with suspected hypertension or undergoing treatment for hypertension.
RESULTS: We obtained 23 531 measurements by the oscillometric method, which was 98% of the maximal possible number, and 81% of the maximal possible number were obtained by the auscultatory methjod. We were able to compare 98% of the paired measurements. The auscultatory method showed a uniform distribution of errors throughout the 24 h. Compared to the auscultatory method, the oscillometry method had fewer errors in the evenings, but more when the subjects were at work. There was a difference in paired single readings between the two methods amounting to 1.4+/-19 mmHg (mean+/-SD) for systolic and -2.4+/-18 mmHg for diastolic readings (auscultatory - oscillometric). The differences in mean values for the 281 cases of 24 h monitoring amounted to 0.7+/- 4 mmHg for systolic and -2.2+/-6 mmHg for diastolic measurements. For the mean systolic blood pressure, we found a difference of 0.3+/-4 mmHg in the daytime and 0.3+/-8 mmHg during the night. The mean diastolic pressures differed by -2.0+/-6 mmHg in the daytime and -1.6+/-8 mmHg during the night. We found only a weak correlation between the differences in the readings by the two methods and systolic blood pressure levels, age, pulse pressure and body mass index, and no correlations between these differences and the diastolic blood pressure levels.
CONCLUSION: Although we found a considerable SD on single readings by the two methods, there was a good agreement between the mean values of the 24 h monitoring for the two methods. We obtained a significantly higher success rate by the oscillometric method. The findings suggest that, for this equipment, the oscillometric method is preferable for 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring because it provides a much higher rate of successful readings.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Division of Air Quality has issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to Jay-Bee Oil & Gas Inc. for operating storage tanks on its Lisby Well Pad without the proper permits.
The natural gas drilling site is located in the Big Run area of Tyler County and the Lisby Pad includes four Marcellus wells that are in the initial production phase. Because six storage tanks at the site are used to collect natural gas liquids and can produce vapors, air quality permits are required.
The NOV, issued late Tuesday, requires Jay-Bee to provide dates when the tanks were installed and when each was put into operation; the amount of natural gas liquids produced at the site from commencement of operations until present; the potential emissions from all other sites not permitted by the DAQ; and a detailed explanation of the remedial measures taken to address the causes of non-compliance.
Inspectors from the WVDEP's Office of Oil and Gas and Division of Air Quality were dispatched to the Lisby Pad early Friday after receiving a complaint of a strong odor late the night before. The inspectors determined the likely cause of the odor was a nighttime inversion created by atmospheric conditions that trapped the gas vapors coming from the tanks. The WVDEP worked with the operator to implement measures to decrease emissions. Also, the operator plans to implement a secondary recovery system on the tanks to capture the gas vapors.
The WVDEP continues to monitor the situation and requested assistance from the agency's Emergency Response section to monitor air quality at the site. The air monitoring equipment, which indicates the presence of volatile organics, detected no dangerous levels. Air monitoring equipment on site and mobile equipment operated by local emergency officials also detected no explosive levels – even last Thursday night when the odor was at its strongest.

Folklore says that "Time waits for no one." Time is so precious, and we should adequately use it. But it's so hard. Everyone struggles with it. But, we can always improve how we handle our time, especially every month. You can use a schedule for that. If you don't have one, you can try our useful collection of Ready-Made Monthly Schedule Templates in Word. These are easily editable, printable, and 100% customizable. You can also quickly change their colors. Their suggestive headings can help you. What are you waiting for? Download one of these templates and use your month efficiently.
How to Create a Monthly Schedule in Microsoft Word
Scheduling is important. Mind Tools says that if you use a schedule, it can help you prioritize the essential tasks. If you have a lot of things to catch up or have goals for a month, you can use a monthly schedule. The thing is, it's not going to be as hard if you put your mind into it. And creating one is also simple. You don't need a lot of things to make a schedule. All you need is a pen, paper, software, and patience. But scheduling isn't going to be so effective if you don't use it correctly. However, if you only focus on using it religiously, you can excel with all your tasks and priorities. So, to make your months more productive than ever, here are some easy steps that you can use in making a monthly schedule:
1. Identify Your Priorities
The first thing you should do is to identify your priorities for the month. After doing so, you can grab a pen and paper and list them. For example, you can list a priority like a bill payment. You can list your goals and upcoming events. Don't forget to include the dates of these events. You can list each date beside each priority. Your priorities should be the first on the list since they are the things that you should focus on. If you think that there are still upcoming tasks, but you don't have any idea about them, it's okay. You can always list them anytime and use your schedule like a planner.
2. List Other Events or Tasks
After listing your top priorities, you should also list other things as well. Your life isn't only about finishing your priorities, but you also need time for other things. You can set dates for your free time and other emergencies on your simple schedule. This is vital because you need time for yourself. You also need time to prepare for emergencies.
3. Make a Calendar
There are actually a lot of different ways on how you can make your timetable look. If you want to make it look simple, you can try to make a blank calendar. Start with the month you want your schedule to have. You can open MS Word and start creating a calendar there. You can also create a calendar for the upcoming months, too.
4. Fill the Calendar with Your Tasks and Events
After that, you can now fill the calendar with your priorities, events, and other things. Place the task or event on a specific day. You should include organizing in your checklist. Your calendar has to look as neat as possible. This way, when you glance at it as your guide, you will not have a hard time reading it.
5. Download a Template
If you wish to quicken the process of creating a schedule, you can download a template. Since templates are ready-made, they can give you a time-advantage than creating one from scratch. For that, choose any template above. Those templates are highly-editable in Microsoft Word. You can customize and list your events, priorities, and others in it. Enjoy your monthly schedule!

Numerous evaluations of conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs show positive shortterm impacts, but there is only limited evidence on whether these benefits translate into sustained longer-term gains. This paper uses the municipal-level randomized assignment of a CCT program implemented for five years in Honduras to estimate long-term effects 13 years after the program began. We estimate intent-to-treat effects using individuallevel data from the population census, which allows assignment of individuals to their municipality of birth, thereby circumventing migration selection concerns. For the nonindigenous, we find positive and robust impacts on educational outcomes for cohorts of a very wide age range. These include increases of more than 50 percent for secondary school completion rates and the probability of reaching university studies for those exposed at school-going ages. They also include substantive gains for grades attained and current enrollment for others exposed during early childhood, raising the possibility of further gains going forward. Educational gains are, however, more limited for the indigenous. Finally, exposure to the CCT increased the probability of international migration for young men, from 3 to 7 percentage points, also stronger for the non-indigenous. Both early childhood exposure to the nutrition and health components of the CCT as well as exposure during school-going ages to the educational components led to sustained increases in human capital.

Fluoride Action Network
Our results suggest that orally administered sodium fluoride enters liver and brain. The blood-brain barrier fails to exclude the fluoride ion from nerve tissue. That fluoride ions also readily pass the placental barrier has been repeatedly demonstrated (9). Fluoride-levels in brain reach a maximum approximately two hours after it has been administered, whereas accumulation in liver continues for at least three hours.

Threshold Autoregressions with a Unit Root
This paper develops an asymptotic theory of inference for a two-regime threshold autoregressive (TAR) model with an autoregressive root which is local-to-unity. We find that the asymptotic null distribution of the Wald test for a threshold is non-standard and mildly dependent on the local-to-unity coefficient. We also study the asymptotic null distribution of the Wald test for an autoregressive unit root, and find that it is non-standard and dependent on the presence of a threshold effect. These tests and distribution theory allow for the joint consideration of non-linearity (thresholds) and non-stationarity (unit roots). Our limit theory is based on a new set of tools which combines unit root asymptotics with empirical process methods. We work with a particular two-parameter empirical processes which converges weakly to a two-parameter Brownian motion. Our limit distributions involve stochastic integrals with respect to this two-parameter process. This theory is entirely new and may find applications in other contexts. We illustrate the methods with an application to the U.S. monthly unemployment rate. We find strong evidence of a threshold effect. The point estimates suggest that in about 80% of the observations, the regression function is close to a driftless I(1) process, and in the other 20% of the observations, the regression function is mean-reverting with an unconditional mean of 5%. While the conventional ADF test for a unit root is quite insignificant, our TAR unit root test is arguably significant, with an asymptotic p-value of 3.5%, suggesting that the unemployment rate follows a stationary TAR process.

text: Permanent magnet (PM) machines are often preferred in recent technology since their efficiency and power/volume ratio are higher than those of conventional wound-rotor type machines. NdFeB magnets, which are predominantly used in the design of PM machines, are very expensive and make the design costly. Alnico magnets have the potential to be used instead, since they are very cheap and their residual fluxes are as high as those of NdFeB magnets. The major problem is that Alnico magnets have very low resistance to magnetic field reversal, which means they are easily demagnetized. This paper focuses on using Alnico magnets in a PM reluctance generator (PMRG) without encountering demagnetization or performance degradation. The converter accompanying the PMRG allows avoidance of the demagnetization of Alnico magnets by making the currents through the windings unidirectional. Thus, Alnico magnets can be directly used instead of NdFeB magnets without making any modifications on the magnet size or location. The converter also provides independent phase current control to suppress mechanical vibrations due to large torque ripples. The analysis results verify that Alnico magnets can be used in the generator design without losing much generator performance. Therefore, the Alnico-magnet-based PMRG is a promising candidate for designing low-cost generators and is also expected to affect the design trends on wind energy conversion systems (WECSs).

t - \tau))] V_1(x(t), y(t))\\ \ge& \epsilon_1 V_1(x(t),y(t)) \endaligned \tag{2.20} $$ and similarly $$ \dot{V}_2 (x(t), y(t)) = \frac{d}{dt} V_2(x(t), y(t)) \ge \epsilon_2V_2(x(t), y(t))\tag{2.21} $$ if the solution $(x(t), y(t))$ is in $X_2$ on the interval $[t - \tau, t]$. Now if (P1) fails, there is a $T > 0$ , an integer $k$ either 2 or 3, and a positive solution $(x(t)$, $y(t))$ of (2.1) satisfying $(x(T), y(T)) \in X_k$ and for which $$ t^* = \text{inf}\{t \ge T: (x(t), y(t)) \not\in \operatornamewithlimits\cup\limits^3_{i=k} X_i\}\tag{2.22} $$ is a well-defined finite number. Furthermore, by continuity there is a positive integer $k^* < k$ such that $$ (x(t^*), y(t^*)) \in X_k \text{ and } V_{k^*}((x(t^*), y(t^*)) = \eta_{k^*}.\tag{2.23} $$ \noindent Since $(x(T), y(T)) \not\in X_{k^*}, t^* > T$. From either (2.20) or (2.21) (depending on whether $k^* =$ 1 or 2), $V_{k^*}(x(t), y(t))$ is strictly increasing at $t = t^*$, and so with (2.23) we have $$ V_{k^*} (x(t), y(t)) < \eta_{k^*} , \text{ for } 0 < t^* - t << 1.\tag{2.24} $$ However, by definition of $t^*$ and $X_i$ $$ V_i(x(t), y(t)) > \eta_i , \text{ for all } t \in [T, t^*), i = 1, \dots, k - 1\tag{2.25} $$ which contradicts (2.24) since $k^*$ is one of these $i$'s. Thus (P1) cannot fail. To verify (P2), we first note that since $X_1$, $X_2$, and $X_3$ partition $X_0$ and since (2.1) is dissipative, for any positive solution $(x(t),y(t))$ of (2.1) there is a $T > 0$ , an integer $k$ either 1, 2 or 3, such that $$ (x(T), y(T)) \in X_k.\tag{2.26} $$ \noindent It follows from (P1) that there is a $t_0 \ge T$ and an integer $k_0, k \le k_0 \le 3$ such that $$ (x(t), y(t)) \in X_{k_0} ,\text{ for all } t \ge t_0.\tag{2.27} $$ If $k_0\ne 3$, then from (2.18)-(2.21), we have $$ \frac{d}{dt} V_{k_0}(x(t), y(t)) \ge \epsilon_{k_0} V_{k_0}(x(t), y(t)) , \text{ for all } t \in [t_0, \infty) $$ which implies $$ V_{k_0}(x(t), y(t)) \rightarrow \infty \text{ as } t \rightarrow \infty $$ and this contradicts $(x(t), y(t)) \in X_{k_0}$ for all $t \ge t_0$. Thus (P2) is established. \qed \enddemo \noindent For practical persistence we will need specific choices for $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$. Since the magnitudes of $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$ are not important, by continuity we can choose $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ as large as possible with the property $$ \gather f(x_0, y_0, x_1, y_1) - \alpha g(x_0, y_0, x_1, y_1) > 0\\ \text{ for all } x_0 \in [0, \nu^*_1), x_1 \in [0, \nu_1) \text{ and } y_0, y_1 \in [0, M_2]\\ \text{and}\tag{2.28}\\ \beta f(x_0, y_0, x_1, y_1 + g(x_0, y_0, x_1, y_1) > 0\\ \text{ for all } x_0, x_1 \in [0, M_1] \text{ and } y_0 \in [0, \nu^*_2), y_1 \in [0, \nu_2) \endgather $$ with $\nu^*_1$ and $\nu^*_2$ as in (2.10): $$ \nu^*_1 = \nu_1 e^{P_1\tau} \text{ and } \nu^*_2 = \nu_2 e^{P_2\tau}.\tag{2.29} $$ \noindent Then (2.17) gives $$ \eta_1 = \nu^*_1/M^{\alpha}_2 \text{ and } \eta_2 = (\nu^*_2)^{1 + \alpha\beta}(\nu^*_1/M^{\alpha}_2)^{\beta}\tag{2.30} $$ which in turn by (2.15) leads to $$ \gather \delta_1 = \eta_1(\eta_2/M^{\beta}_1)^{\alpha} = \frac{\left(\nu^*_1 \nu^{*\alpha}_2\right)^{1 + \alpha\beta}}{M^{\alpha\beta}_1(M^{\alpha}_2)^{1+ \alpha\beta}}\\ \text{and}\tag{2.31}\\ \delta_2 = \eta_2/M^{\beta}_1 = \frac{\nu^{*\beta}_1(\nu^*_2)^{1 + \alpha\beta}}{M^{\beta}_1 M^{\alpha\beta}_2}. \endgather $$ \noindent If the second case of condition (ii) holds, i. e., (2.4) replaces (2.3), we can use the two Liapunov functions $$ V_1 = xy^{-\alpha} \quad \ V_2 = x^{-\beta} y\tag{2.32} $$ \noindent In this case $$ (x, y) \in X_3 \Rightarrow V_1 = xy^{-\alpha} > \eta_1 \text{ and } V_2 = x^{-\beta} y > \eta_2 $$ implies $$ y > \left(\eta_2 \eta_1^{\beta}\right)^{1/(1 - \alpha\beta)} = \delta_2 \text{ and } x > \eta_1 \delta^{\alpha}_2 = \delta_1,\tag{2.33} $$ i.e., $$ X_3 \subseteq (\

I'm planning for an upcoming science project. Students will choose a topic of their choice and then gather, share and evaluate the information they find. I 'd like a way for students to have information from the web fed to them based on their topic. For example if they chose to research "cloning", they would be able to have the latest news and opinions fed into their reader. I remember seeing a piece of code that would allow you to feed all new content tagged with "cloning". I do see the potential problem for inappropriate material showing up in their reader.
Does anyone know if this is possible? or have suggestions for another way for students to have experience using RSS relating to a science topic of interest? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Study on Physical Properties of Biodiesel Fuel and Their Dependency on the Fuel Composition | Original Article
Biodiesel, characterized as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils or creature fats, is an option diesel fuel that is getting to be plainly acknowledged in a consistently developing number of nations around the globe. Since the wellspring of biodiesel fluctuates with the area and different sources, for example, reused oils are constantly picking up intrigue, it is vital to have information on how the different unsaturated fat profiles of the distinctive sources can impact biodiesel fuel properties. The properties of the different individual greasy esters that include biodiesel decide the general fuel properties of the biodiesel fuel. Thus, the properties of the different greasy esters are dictated by the basic highlights of the unsaturated fat and the liquor moieties that include a greasy ester. Auxiliary highlights that impact the physical and fuel properties of a greasy ester atom are chain length, level of un-immersion, and spreading of the chain. Essential fuel properties of biodiesel that are impacted by the unsaturated fat profile and, thus, by the auxiliary highlights of the different greasy esters are cetane number and eventually fumes emanations, warmth of ignition, frosty stream, oxidative steadiness, consistency, and lubricity.

I usually just copy from a PDF document and paste to a plaintext document.
Do you really need a program to do that?
Your best bet is to use Poppler because PDF is a complex format with no easy way to extract text from, you need to rely on a library made to load PDFs, like Poppler. There is a utility called pdftotext which does exactly what you want. You can use it in a bash terminal (Unix / Linux) for example to save the text to a file:
$ pdftotext my_file.pdf > my_file.txt
Or to count the number of occurrences of the word "the" in a pdf file:
$ pdftotext my_file.pdf | grep -w -o the | wc -l
Within a C++ program, you can simply issue a system() call with commands like the above, or you can use the libpoppler C++ API directly.

text: Single crystals of L-phenylalaninium maleate (LPM) were grown by slow solvent evaporation technique at room temperature. Good optical grade single crystals of size 10×4×3mm3 are obtained. The structure of the grown crystal was obtained from single crystal XRD. It is observed from the XRD data that LPM crystal belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21. The Fourier transform infrared analysis (FT-IR) was carried out and the various functional groups in the sample were identified. The optical absorption spectrum of the sample was recorded in the range _PHONE_ nm. The UV-Vis-NIR spectrum shows low absorption in the entire visible region. The second harmonic generation efficiency of the powdered sample was measured using Nd:YAG Q-switched laser with first harmonic output of 1064 nm and KDP was taken as the reference material. The variation of dark current and photo current with the applied field was studied using a Keithly 480 picoammeter. Photoconductivity study confirms the negative photoconductive nature of LPM.

- Several physiological and metabolic changes are triggered in broilers submitted to high environmental temperatures, resulting in performance losses. Feed formulation manipulation of the dietary electrolyte balance may be applied to reduce the negative impact of heat stress on broiler performance. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of the manipulations of dietary electrolytes by combining changes in the electrolyte (Na++K+–Cl- ) balance (EB) and in the [(K++Cl- )/Na+] ratio (ER) in broiler feeds. In total, 1575 male broilers between 21 and 46 days old were allotted to 15 treatments in a 5x3 factorial arrangement, consisting of five diets with different EB/ER combinations (150/3, 250/2, 250/3, 250/4, and 350/3). Birds were submitted to heat stress at 25 or 35 days old. Live performance, mortality rate, and carcass traits were evaluated. The strategic formulation of diets with different EB and ER improves live performance and minimize the effect of heat stress on broilers. Under thermoneutral conditions, an EB of 250 mEq/kg and an ER of 3 are recommended, whereas under heat stress, and EB of 350 mEq/kg and an ER of 3 should be applied.

Macquarie Five Towns
2010 - 2011
The year 2010 marked the 200 year anniversary of the commencement of the Governorship of Lieutenant Colonel Lachlan Macquarie. Hawkesbury Regional Museum honoured this celebration with an exhibition that looked at Macquarie's impact on the Hawkesbury settlers and the subsequent creation of the five Macquarie Towns.
On Monday 3 December 1810, Governor Lachlan Macquarie set about the task of marking out five new towns in the Hawkesbury, all to be on the Commons which had been set out by his predecessor, Governor King, in 1804. Accompanied by Assistant Surveyor George Evans, Acting Surveyor James Meehan, Magistrate William Cox, the Rev. Robert Cartwright and members of his own staff, Macquarie rode across the Richmond Hill Common (which stretched from Yarramundi Lagoon to just east of the Windsor Road from Sydney) looking for appropriate sites. Macquarie's vision was to improve the morals of the colonists by encouraging marriage, provide for education, prohibit the use of spirituous liquors, and to increase agriculture and stock, thus ensuring the certainty of food to the inhabitants under all circumstances.
The establishment of towns and communities in structured permanent locations was the ultimate goal and in these early days of his governorship he so named and designated the principle locations of what are now known as the five Macquarie Towns of the Hawkesbury; Richmond, Windsor, Wilberforce, Pitt Town and Castlereagh.

Hello friends! Consider this your step-by-step tutorial on how to roast vegetables (with and without oil)!
We believe roasting vegetables is a basic cooking skill that everyone should know. It's also easy to do year-round with whatever produce is in season. And it's a sneaky and proven way to convert veggie skeptics into veggie lovers.
You are watching: What Temperature Do I Roast Vegetables
Plus, did we mention it's EASY!?
Which Vegetables Can Be Roasted
Nearly any vegetable can be roasted, but we find that those that typically work best have a lower moisture content (such as sweet potatoes and carrots) or lots of flavor (such as onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes).
A lower moisture content helps them develop a perfectly browned, caramelized exterior and those with lots of flavor become even more concentrated through the cooking process.
Here are some of our favorite roasted vegetables:
- Root vegetables (sweet potato, potato, butternut squash, carrots, beets, radish, onion, garlic, etc.)
- Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts)
- Others (asparagus, slow roasted tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms)
Tips for Success
There are a few key tips to keep in mind for cooking perfectly roasted vegetables every time!
- Slice veggies evenly to ensure even cooking. If you don't mind some crunchier and crispier pieces, this is less important.
- Group veggies by cooking time– root vegetables generally take longer than cruciferous ones (40 minutes vs 25 minutes). Group on separate pans so that they finish baking at the same time.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan(s)– arrange the veggies on enough baking sheets to allow them to sit in a single layer. Crowding can cause them to cook unevenly and steam rather than roast (meaning less caramelization).
- Season appropriately– we love adding a heavy coating of curry powder and a generous pinch of salt. Fresh herbs are also delicious. But if you plan to freeze them for adding to smoothies (carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, etc.), then it is best to only season with salt.
- The perfect temperature– 400 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature for most roasted vegetables. It allows for a crispy, perfectly browned exterior and a fork tender interior. But it will vary based on the types of veggies and oil used. If your veggies are not browning enough, try increasing the temperature. If they are browning before they are fully cooked, try reducing it.
How to Reheat Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables are best served fresh, but are also delicious served cold the next day or reheated by a dry heat method (baking, broiling, grilling, sautéing or roasting).
To maintain the best texture when reheating, we recommend reheating roasted vegetables in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat or in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven until hot.
Reheating them in the microwave is not ideal as they tend to become soggy.
How to Use Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables can be enjoyed alongside a main dish (such as our Vegan Lentil Nut "Meatloaf") or creatively added to salads, dips, bowls, smoothies, soups, and more.
We have included 6 delicious and easy ways to put roasted vegetables to use so you can feed yourself and those you love!

- Pasta Salad (similar to video)
- Beet Hummus (similar to video)
- Grain Bowl (similar to video)
- Carrot Smoothie (similar to video)

We professionally supply high quality hose and fittings
What are the points to note when choosing stainless steel quick couplings?
So many quick connectors. It depends on your scope of application. Quick couplings can be divided into: quick couplings for air, quick couplings for oxygen fuel gas, quick couplings for gas and liquid, quick couplings for oil pressure, quick couplings for inert gas, quick couplings for cooling water and temperature oil, and semiconductor quick couplings.
1. Fluid type and temperature (please select a quick coupling suitable for the fluid type, temperature, and sealing material of the body material). According to the fluid, the suitable body material and sealing material are different. For example, the quick connector is air. It is recommended to be made of steel, or brass or stainless steel if it is water.
2. The pressure of the liquid (please select a quick coupling suitable for the pressure resistance of the fluid pressure) The pressure of the fluid is also the key to selecting a quick coupling. The quick couplings for hydraulic use are serialized between 5.0Mpa (51kgf/cm²) and 68.6Mpa (700kgf/cm²). Corresponding to the pressure characteristics, the structure of the quick couplings is also different.
3. The structure of the automatic opening and closing valve (please select the quick coupling of the valve structure suitable for piping purposes) For the structure of the valve, there are two-way switch type, one-way switch type and two-way open type. Except for the two-way switch type, fluid flows out of the piping during separation. So please pay attention.
4. The use environment of the quick coupling (please select the quick coupling of the structure and material suitable for the use environment), considering the use environment of the use environment such as humidity conditions, dust conditions, and easy corrosion, etc., to consider the selection of the quick coupling type, body material, sealing material.
5. For the shape and size of the installation (please order the product after confirming the shape and size), please determine the type and material of the quick coupling, and specify the shape and size of the assembly corresponding to the piping characteristics. Please note that size is related to fluid flow.


name.
 - DataType The type of name must match the type originally used to declare it in the external module.
Remarks: For an EXTERN usage example, please see the SHAREDSET demonstration program.
STATIC storage class specifier
When STATIC is used within a SUB or FUNCTION, to declare a variable, the variable will retain its value from call to call. When DIM or LOCAL is used within a SUB or FUNCTION to declare a variable, the variable will not retain its value from call to call. STATIC variables are automatically initialized (set to zero value) only the first time they are declared.
Syntax:
 STATIC StatVar AS DataType
Parameters:
 - Data type: Identifier
 StatVar name of variable.
 - DataType any valid data type.
An example showing the STATIC difference:
 DIM add1more%, i%, int1%
 add1more% = 1
 FOR i% = 1 TO 5
 int1% = Count%(add1more%)
 PRINT "Total is "; int1%
 NEXT i%
 FUNCTION Count%(it%)
 STATIC total%
 total% = total% + it%
 FUNCTION = total%
 END FUNCTION
Result:
 Total is 1
 Total is 2
 Total is 3
 Total is 4
 Total is 5
Here is the same example without STATIC
 DIM add1more%, i%, int1%
 add1more% = 1
 FOR i% = 1 TO 5
 int1% = Count%(add1more%)
 PRINT "Total is "; int1%
 NEXT i%
 FUNCTION Count%(it%)
 DIM total%
 total% = total% + it%
 FUNCTION = total%
 END FUNCTION
Result:
 Total is 1
 Total is 1
 Total is 1
 Total is 1
 Total is 1
REGISTER storage class specifier
Do not use REGISTER if compiling with C++. It was deprecated in the C++11 standard and removed from C++17 standard.
REGISTER is used to define local variables to be stored in a register instead of RAM.
Syntax:
 REGISTER RegVar AS DataType
Parameters:
 - Data type: Identifier
 RegVar name of variable.
 - DataType The data type must be either an INTEGER type or a pointer.
Remarks:
A REGISTER variable has a maximum size equal to the register size. The unary address-of operator(&) cannot be applied to a REGISTER variable nor can the REGISTER keyword be used on arrays. REGISTER is best used with variables that need quick access.
Specifying REGISTER does not mean that the variable will be stored for certain in a register.
OBJECT type definition
BCX definition:
 TYPE AS OBJECT
 p_unknown AS IUnknown PTR
 pObjects[COM_STACK_SIZE] AS VARIANT
 pName[COM_STACK_SIZE][128] AS TCHAR
 pStatus AS BOOL
 ipointer AS INT
 END TYPE
C/C++ definition:
 typedef struct _OBJECT
 {
 IUnknown* p_unknown;
 VARIANT pObjects[COM_STACK_SIZE];
 TCHAR pName[COM_STACK_SIZE][128];
 BOOL pStatus;
 int ipointer;
 }OBJECT, *LPOBJECT;
Example:

 BCX_SHOW_COM_ERRORS(TRUE)

 DIM app AS OBJECT
 COMSET app = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application")

 app.workbooks.add
 app.visible = true
 app.ActiveSheet.Cells(3,1).Value="Hello"
 app.ActiveSheet.Cells(4,1).Value="From BCX"
 app.ActiveSheet.Cells(5,1).Value="Console program!"

 DIM temp_var$

 temp_var$ = app.ActiveSheet.Cells(3,1).Value
 MSGBOX temp_var$, "value of cell(3,1)", 4096

 MSGBOX "BCX COM Example!" & CRLF$ _
 & "Using Office automation to manipulate Excel." & CRLF$ _
 & "Program will close Excel in 1 second.","finished!", 4096
 SLEEP(1000)
 app.activeworkbook.saved = true
 app.quit
 COMSET app = NOTHING

RAW statement
Purpose: RAW can be used to create uninitialized variables. RAW does not clear the memory block of the created variable by filling it with zeros. A RAW variable created in a subroutine or function is not STATIC in retaining a value between calls to the procedure.
Syntax 1:
 RAW VariableName
Parameters:
 - Data type: Identifier
 VariableName The name of the variable being declared.
Remarks:
RAW does not initialize variables inside SUB or FUNCTION procedures, for example,
 SUB RawSub1()
 RAW str1$
 END SUB
translates to C source code
 void RawSub1 (void)
 {
 char str1[BCXSTRSIZE];
 }
while
 SUB RawSub1()
 DIM str1$
 END SUB
translates to C source code
 void RawSub1 (void)
 {
 char str1[BCXSTRSIZE]={0};
 }
RAW used outside of a SUB or FUNCTION procedure is the same as STATIC, for example,
 RAW a$
translates to C source code
 static char a[BCXSTRSIZE];
LOCAL variables slow things down a bit because they need to be zero'd out each time. RAW are the fastest but require that you give them meaningful values as needed. Consider this ... why take the time to zero an integer if you unconditionally assign it a value.
Type Qualifiers
CONST data type qualifier
The CONST data type qualifier specifies that the value of the data in the identifier is unmodifiable.
When using CONST in BCX it must be declared, on one line, with an initialized value, in this syntactic order,

 DIM AS CONST DataType Identifier = Value
Example 1:
The contents of the string constant, TheWord, cannot be changed in this example.
 DIM AS CONST CHAR TheWord[] = "My word is immutable !"
 PRINT TheWord
Result:
 My word is immutable !
If code is added to attempt a change,
 DIM AS CONST CHAR TheWord[] = "My word is immutable !"
 PRINT TheWord
 TheWord = "Nothing lasts forever !"
 PRINT TheWord
the compiler will error out on the third line where an attempt is made to change TheWord,
Result:
 Pelles C
 error #2140: Type error in argument 1 to 'strcpy'; expected 'char * restrict' but found 'const char *'.
 Microsoft
 error C2664: 'char *strcpy(char *,const char *)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'const char [23]' to 'char *'
 Nuwen MinGW
 error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
Example 2:
 DIM AS CONST CHAR A[] = "I Like Dogs." ' This has GLOBAL SCOPE and cannot be changed
 DIM AS CONST INT B = 12345 ' This has GLOBAL SCOPE and cannot be changed

 PRINT A$
 PRINT B

 PRINT
 CALL Foo
 PRINT

 PRINT A$
 PRINT B

 SUB Foo
 '
 ' All of these variables have LOCAL SCOPE and cannot be changed
 '
 DIM AS CONST CHAR A[] = "I Like Frogs."
 DIM AS CONST INT B = 56789
 DIM AS CONST INT C = 123
 DIM AS CONST SINGLE D = 123.456
 DIM AS CONST DOUBLE E = 456.789

 PRINT A$
 PRINT B
 PRINT C
 PRINT D
 PRINT E
 END SUB
Result:
 I Like Dogs.
 12345
 I Like Frogs.
 56789
 123
 123.456
 456.789
 I Like Dogs.
 12345
VOLATILE data type qualifier
The VOLATILE data type qualifier specifies that the memory access to the variable, array or other data object is to be consistent. VOLATILE data can have its value changed without the control or detection of the compiler, for example, by the system clock or other program updating a variable.
Here are some examples of data declarations with the VOLATILE data type qualifier.
 TYPE z
 DIM VOLATILE a AS INTEGER
 DIM c[20] AS CHAR
 END TYPE

 DIM VOLATILE ddd
 GLOBAL VOLATILE aaa AS INTEGER
 SHARED VOLATILE BBB AS z
 EXTERN VOLATILE ccc AS INTEGER

 SUB v()
 STATIC VOLATILE zz AS z

 END SUB

Declaring Global Variables
Variables declared with DIM at the file scope level of the program are automatically given GLOBAL scope. They can be used anywhere in a program.
Also, using the GLOBAL or SHARED keywords will create GLOBAL variables anywhere in a program .
All variable names with GLOBAL scope must be unique, including variables created using DIM in the main portion of the program. That means that a program cannot have a GLOBAL variable named A$ and another named A%. However, a variable named A$ and another named a$ can co-exist as GLOBAL variables because BCX variable names are case sensitive. Therefore, A$ and a$ are seen as different variables.
When declared within a SUB or FUNCTION, a GLOBAL variable, in the C translation, is moved to the file scope level and, there, is specified as a static storage class.
 DIM add1more%, i%, int1%

 add1more% = 1

 FOR i% = 1 TO 5
 int1% = Count%(add1more%)
 PRINT "Total is "; int1%
 NEXT i%
 ?
 PRINT "total%,", total%, ", is accessible from file scope level.

Each cartoon character has a video drawing tutorial option, as well as step-by-step photos and written text to follow.
To draw Starfire step by step, follow along with the video tutorial below and pause the video after each step to go at your own pace. You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below. The new lines in each step are shown in red, and each step is explained in the text below the photo, so you'll know exactly what to draw in each step. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods! Take your time and draw at your own pace.
The written step-by-step video tutorial:
Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don't press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: Draw a big circle near the top of the paper as a guide for Starfire's head. First make four marks to determine the circle's height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a circular object like a coin or a lid.
Step 2: Inside the head, draw a curved, horizontal line as a guide to help you place Starfire's facial features later. Add a curved, vertical line across the circle for another construction guide line.
Step 3: Under Starfire's head, draw two short lines as guides for the neck and a small triangle as a guide for the torso. Make the triangle thin. Pay attention to the size of it in relation to this Teen Titans Go character's head.
Step 4: Under that, draw another small, triangle-like shape as a guide for the lower part of the torso. This triangle will dictate the shape of Starfire's skirt. The top of this triangle will be hidden behind the first triangle.
Step 5: Starting on the top, left side of Starfire's body, draw a long, sloping line as a guide for the first arm. At the end of the line, draw a small circle as a guide for the fist. On the right side, draw another long, sloping line with a circle at the end as a guide for the other arm and fist.

Does Veeam require vCenter?
There is a lot of confusion around whether or not Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) requires vCenter. The answer is a little bit complicated.
First of all, VBR requires vSphere to run. vSphere is VMware's flagship product that allows users to create and manage virtual machines. vCenter is a component of vSphere that provides enhanced functionality, such as the ability to centrally manage multiple vSphere hosts.
That said, VBR does not require vCenter to function. You can use VBR without vCenter to back up and replicate virtual machines, provided you have access to vSphere. However, using VBR without vCenter will be less efficient and you will have limited functionality. For example, you will not be able to use VBR's automation features without vCenter.
So, to answer the question, Veeam Backup & Replication does not require vCenter, but it is highly recommended that you use it in order to get the most out of the product.
How do I add a standalone host in Veeam?
