I'm working on a plot with translucent 'x' markers (20% alpha). How do I make the marker appear at 100% opacity in the legend?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot_date( x = xaxis, y = yaxis, marker = 'x', color=[1, 0, 0,.2], label='Data Series' )
plt.legend(loc=3, mode="expand", numpoints=1, scatterpoints=1 )

If you want to have something specific in your legend, it's easier to define objects that you place in the legend with appropriate text. For example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pylab
line1 = pylab.Line2D(range(1),range(1),color='white',marker='x',markersize=10, markerfacecolor="red",alpha=1.0)
line2 = pylab.Line2D(range(10),range(10),marker="_",linewidth=3.0,color="dodgerblue",alpha=1.0)
plt.legend((line1,line2),('Text','Other Text'),numpoints=1,loc=1)
Here, line1 defines a short, white line (so essentially invisible) with the marker 'x' in red and full opacity. As an example, line2 gives you a longer blue line with no markers visible. By creating this "lines," you are able to more easily control their properties within the legend.

Improving Georgia's Voter Registry
Supporting local collaboration to improve Georgia's voter list
Georgians polled in a May 2011 nationwide public opinion survey on electoral issues identified voter list inaccuracy as one of the main problems or concerns for them related to upcoming elections. This reflects a legacy of problems with the list over a number of elections. A low level of trust in Georgia's voter registration system, plagued by reports of émigrés and the deceased remaining on the list, would impact Georgians' overall trust in the outcome of the 2012 parliamentary elections and could impede the country's effort to deepen its democratic advancement.
In March 2011, USAID provided support to civil society and government representatives to initiate and conduct a pilot voter addressing project in two districts of Georgia's capital – Old Tbilisi and Didube-Chugureti – to eliminate duplicate addresses and correct inaccurate entries on the voters list. This initiative should help ensure a more precise voter registration database for parliamentary and presidential elections in 2012 and 2013. This would mark an important step toward a free and fair election cycle.
USAID's assistance resulted in more than 133,000 Georgians being linked to new addresses and more than 20,500 to existing addresses. Documents for legalizing nearly 50,000 addresses were prepared and presented to the government's Civil Registry Agency for legalization. Legislation to improve and regulate the process of updating voters' addresses also was drafted to ensure sustainability,
To publicize these results and increase awareness among Georgian citizens, USAID's project gave presentations to the public, media, civil society and government.

RELEVANCE OF THE CELL NUCLEUS IN CORONAVIRUS RNA SYNTHESIS
All positive strand RNA viruses that infect animals replicate in the cytoplasm of the infected host cell. However, there is ample evidence that implicated the nucleus and nuclear proteins in the replication and pathogenesis of positive-strand RNA viruses, including coronaviruses. The replication of these RNA viruses in enucleated cells is variable, ranging from 10% to 100% of that in nucleated controls. The relocation of nuclear proteins to the cytoplasm and of viral proteins to the nucleus during virus replication highlights the relevance of this organelle during the coronavirus infectious cycle and raises important question: What is the role of nuclear factors in the replication of these viruses, and do viral proteins traveling to the nucleus participate in RTC activity?

4.1. Monitoring General Storage Cluster Parameters¶
By monitoring general parameters, you can get detailed information about all components of the storage cluster, its overall status and health. To display this information, use the
vstorage -c top command. For example:
The command above shows detailed information about the
stor1 cluster. The general parameters (highlighted in red) are as follows.
Overall status of the cluster:
- All chunk servers in the cluster are active.
- There is not enough information about the cluster state (e.g., because the master MDS server was elected a while ago).
- Some of the chunk servers in the cluster are inactive.
- The cluster has too many inactive chunk servers; the automatic replication is disabled.
- SMART warning
- One or more physical disks attached to cluster nodes are in pre-failure condition. For details, see Monitoring Physical Disks.
Amount of disk space in the cluster:
- Free physical disk space in the cluster.
- Amount of logical disk space available to clients. Allocatable disk space is calculated on the basis of the current replication parameters and free disk space on chunk servers. It may also be limited by license.
For more information on monitoring and understanding disk space usage in clusters, see Understanding Disk Space Usage.
- MDS nodes
- Number of active MDS servers as compared to the total number of MDS servers configured for the cluster.
- epoch time
- Time elapsed since the MDS master server election.
- CS nodes
Number of active chunk servers as compared to the total number of chunk servers configured for the cluster.
The information in parentheses informs you about the number of these chunk servers:
- Active chunk servers (avail.) that are currently up and running in the cluster;
- Inactive chunk servers (inactive) that are temporarily unavailable. A chunk server is marked as inactive during its first 5 minutes of inactivity.
- Offline chunk servers (offline) that have been inactive for more than 5 minutes. A chunk server changes its state to offline after 5 minutes of inactivity. Once the state is changed to offline, the cluster starts replicating data to restore the chunks that were stored on the offline chunk server.
- Key number under which the license is registered on the Key Authentication server and license state.
- Replication settings. The normal number of chunk replicas and the limit after which a chunk gets blocked until recovered.
Disks IO activity in the cluster:
- Speed of read and write I/O operations, in bytes per second.
- Number of read and write I/O operations per second.


wave. Not only does it look cool, but it helps you maintain speed and an optimal position on the wave. When you make it all the way up to the nose of the board, you've successfully "walked the nose."
Con's: Longerboards are heavier and harder to carry and transport. Storage can also be a bit more of a problem. They typically won't fit inside of a car or in a closet. Storing and transport usually requires surf racks for cars and wall racks for home storage.
If you are looking for speed and high turning performance, longboarding can be a bit of a drag (pun intended.) They travel slower down the wave and take much more effort and power to turn, especially if you are riding a single fin.
Are Longboard Surfboards For Beginners?
Longboards are great for beginners, and more often than not, preferred by instructors to use for teaching. They have more buoyancy and volume, which makes catching waves much easier. Because longboards have more surface area than shortboards, they have more stability, which is essential when you are learning to stand on moving water! Once a surfer gets standing, they tend to stick with a longboard for a little while. Longboards move slower through the water so there is more time to learn how to turn, trim and carve. Longboards are a great way to master the basics of surfing before moving on to a shorter board.
Should I Apply Wax On My Soft-Top Longboard?
Some soft tops have a smoother surface, requiring wax, but some soft tops come with an extra textured top deck so wax is not needed. The SBBC 8' Verve is a great example of a soft top that has enough traction on the top deck that you wouldn't need wax.
Do I Need To Have Some Sort Of Athletic Training Or Sports Background Before I Surf?
You don't need ANY athletic training or sports background to learn to surf. Surfing is a very unique sport. It requires a very unique set of muscles and motor skills that other sports actually do not successfully train you for. Of course, cross training can help you stay in shape cardiovascularly, but skill-wise, you don't need to be a star skiier or basketball player to enjoy surfing. I have taught many an athlete to surf, and they were just as challenged by surfing as anyone else. The only thing that will make you progress at a faster rate is more time in the water. The wonderful thing about surfing is that there is no end goal, and for most of us, no winning or losing. It's just to go out and have fun. It is enjoyable at any level of skill, and that is why it is my favorite sport.
Are There Rules I Should Be Aware Of In The Lineup?
There are a lot of moving components in surfing, and safety and awareness to yourself and others is very important. Here are a few important tips to remember in the water.
Don't ever take off on a wave if someone else is already on it. This is called dropping in and is just as bad as cutting someone off with your car in traffic. Sometimes, dropping in can be dangerous, as it causes collisions and potential injury.
If you are paddling for the same wave as someone else, there actually is a pecking order. The person "deepest" has right to the wave. This means they are the closest to the middle of the wave. The person closer to the shoulder of the wave must let them have it.
Wait your turn. Don't paddle out and try to catch every wave. It's called a "lineup" because surfers line up and catch waves in rotation. If you are just paddling out, wait until everyone else who was out in the ocean catches a wave before you paddle for one. Experienced surfers will acknowledge you are their and let you have your turn as well. Wave hogs typically get chased out of the water.
Should I get surf sessions?
Absolutely. The biggest issue I see with new surfers is that they haven't taken lessons. They have no concept of surf etiquette or water safety. They present a danger to other surfers, and typically ruin the vibe of the lineup by being clueless. So please, take some lessons and learn the ways of the ocean and the line up.
What is the history of longboarding?

Most music editing programs will tell you the BPM of a song, but how do they calculate it? Obviously they try to find some sort of constant pulse throughout the song, but:
 - how are they separate from other sounds? How is a 'beat' found in the audio?
 - How are tempo changes handled, are they averaged together or is it based on longer duration of a specific tempo?
 - How would BPM calculation be different for say, an acoustic guitar solo (harder) than from a pop song (easier)?
(if we had the community wiki for questions back I'd invite people to edit in their own questions so this can serve for a more complete reference)

If you want a question to be community wiki, you could ask a moderator to convert it to a community wiki question.

It basically amounts to emphasizing the sudden impulses of sound in the song and then finding the fundamental period at which these impulses appear. This is done by breaking the signal into frequency bands, extracting the envelope of these frequency-banded signals, differentiating them to emphasize sudden changes in sound, and running the signals through a comb-filterbank and choosing the highest energy result as our tempo.
Beat This - Beat Detection Algorithm
The first three steps should be easy to understand, let's look at the last step:
A comb filter adds a delayed version of a signal to itself, causing constructive and destructive interference. The frequency response of a comb filter consists of a series of regularly-spaced spikes, giving the appearance of a comb.
Wikipedia - Comb filter
The last step uses such a comb filter to figure out the BPM, as you can see on this graph (145 BPM spike):
alt text
You also see a spike at 72,5 BPM, the inference pattern also creates spikes at the half and double frequencies. This is the reason that software sometimes picks the half or double BPM instead of the real BPM.
GameDev.net - Beat Detection Algorithms explains the whole thing in more depth.
How are tempo changes handled?
Most algorithms don't support tempo changes, they will either pick a part in the middle to determine the BPM or decide to calculate an average BPM as you suggested. From a DJ perspective I haven't seen an algorithm yet that supports mixing two songs with a dynamic BPM...
How would BPM calculation be different?
This doesn't depend on instrument or genre, but rather how it is played. For example, in an electro pop song the algorithm can easily be confused in a bridge part of the song or due to some kind of due to those overused digital effects. For the guitar, if you play a classic part with accurately timed notes it would be easy for the algorithm do determine the BPM you are playing.

Copy and Paste Elements
Sigma's copy-and-paste functionality allows you to replicate elements in various locations. You can copy and paste an element within its originating workbook, or you can copy an element from one workbook and paste it in another.
Summary of Content
User Requirements
Copy and Paste an Element
Copy the element
Paste the element below an existing element
Paste the element in an empty space
Frequently Asked Questions
User Requirements
The ability to copy and paste elements requires the following:
 - You must be assigned an account type with the Explore Workbook or Edit Workbook permission enabled.
 - You must be the workbook owner or be granted Can explore or Can edit workbook permission.
Copy and Paste an Element
Copy an element, then paste it in an empty space or directly below an existing element in the destination workbook. If you copy a child element, its lineage is also copied and pasted.
Linked input tables don't currently support copy-and-paste functionality. However, you can copy empty input tables and all data, UI, and control elements.
Copy the element
 1. Open a workbook in any mode, then select or hover over the element you want to copy.
 2. In the element toolbar, click the action icon to open the element menu, then select Copy element. The original element and all applicable parent elements in its lineage are copied.
Paste the element in an empty space
 1. Open the destination workbook in Explore or Edit mode, then find an empty space in the canvas.
 2. Right-click the empty space to open the action menu, then select Paste element.
 A replica of the original element is added to the empty space.
Paste the element below an existing element
 1. Open the destination workbook in Explore or Edit mode, then select or hover over an existing element.
 2. In the element toolbar, click the action icon to open the element menu, then select Paste element below.
 A replica of the original element is added below the existing element.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Copy/Paste element actions differ from the Duplicate action? When should I use each?
 Duplicate Copy/Paste element
Action type Single workbook action Cross-workbook action
Content copied Original element only Original element + lineage
Destination Current workbook/page Any workbook/page
Lineage association Original and duplicate reference the same lineage Original and replica reference separate lineages
When you select Duplicate in an element's action menu, Sigma immediately adds a duplicate directly below the original element (in the same workbook and page). If the original is a child element, the duplicate shares its lineage (i.e., the original and its duplicate reference the same parent elements in the workbook). Changes applied to a parent element are reflected in the original and its duplicate. This feature is recommended when you need to create a duplicate in the same workbook containing the original element.
When you select Copy element in an element's action menu, Sigma copies the element to the browser. You can then select Paste element to add a replica of the copied element to any workbook and page across your organization. If the original element is a child element, its lineage is also copied and pasted to the destination workbook page. In this case, the original and its replica are disassociated and don't share the same lineage (i.e., the original and its replica reference separate parent elements). This feature is recommended when you need to replicate the original element in a different workbook.
If I copy a child element, but its parent element exists in a different page of the workbook, does Sigma still replicate the parent element in the destination?
Yes. The element's entire lineage is copied, regardless of a parent element's location in the originating workbook. In the destination workbook, however, child and parent elements are pasted to the same page.
Can I copy an element and paste it to a workbook in a different organization?
No. An element can only be copied and pasted between workbooks created in the same Sigma organization.
Are control elements copied and pasted with an element?
Yes, most control elements impacting the original element and its lineage are copied and pasted to the destination workbook page. An exception occurs when a parameter control impacts an element with a custom SQL source. For more information, refer to the following question about copying and pasting custom SQL elements.
Can I copy and paste a custom SQL element?
Yes. An element with a custom SQL source can be copied and pasted whether it's the original element or part of its lineage. Related parameter controls aren't replicated with the custom SQL element, but they can be copied and pasted separately. In the destination workbook, the custom SQL element automatically remaps to the copied control element or an existing parameter control with the same control ID.
How are permissions applied when I copy and paste an element between different workbooks? Who can view the element's data?
The ability to view an element's data depends on a user's access to the data source. When you share a workbook with a user who doesn't have access to a particular element's data source (i.e., dataset or connection table), the user can view that element's data in the shared workbook only. If the user copies the element and pastes it to another workbook, the replica doesn't load any data in the destination workbook page, and Sigma notifies the user that they don't have access.
Are an element's filters carried over when it's copied and pasted?
Yes. If filters are already applied to the original element at the time it's copied, those filters are applied to the replica in the destination workbook page. This also applies to parent elements that are copied and pasted as part of the original element's lineage.
Can I copy and paste an entire workbook page?
No. At this time, workbook pages cannot be copied and pasted.

What kinds of applications are there for using a ruby ball probe tip?
A ball-tipped probe is most often used to assess the flatness of a surface, also known as scanning. By using a ruby ball probe, you are harnessing each of the advantages of ruby as a material—sphericity, hardness, smoothness, and resistance. Scanning is used in order to identify any flaws that a material might have. A ruby ball probe is used to measure the individual imperfections that are found during the scanning process. By running the probe across the surface of interest, you can find and measure the size of any flaws that exist. Ensuring smoothness and perfect sphericity of the ball on your probe is pivotal to successful scanning. Ruby is the best choice for this purpose since it is reliably spherical and smooth, as well as difficult to damage.

Bodrum Archeology of Underwater Museum
Bodrum Fortress
Turkey is one of the countries where archeology can be a star scientific branch. In addition to ground archeology, underwater archeology is also important for Turkey due to its location in history. The items of underwater archeology are being exhibited in a museum that was founded in Bodrum underwater museum.
The oldest sunken of the museum
This museum is formed of various halls such as British hall and German hall. Those towers of the fortress are halls of the museum. There are different sections in the museum. Those are about some ancient sunken ships and amphora exhibitions. As we know that the goods such as olive oil and wine were transported in those amphoras.
Amphora section
The oldest sunken ship was dated back to earlier ancient era.Of course it is the replica of the vessel. Also we can see every sort of archeological items that were unearthed in Bodrum including Turkish bath and jewellery.
A relief of ancient era
Also dungeon of the fortress is very impressive because this place is described as "the place that God never exists". It is a classical middle age dungeon.
Briefly it is one of the worth visiting museums of Turkey.

How To Use A Bedside Commode
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
What is a bedside commode?
A bedside commode is a movable toilet that does not use running water. It looks like a chair with a toilet seat and has a bucket or container underneath. The container can be removed for cleaning after the commode is used. A commode can be placed beside the bed if a person cannot get to the bathroom. The commode may have wheels so that it can be rolled away when it is not needed. The wheels should be locked when the person uses the commode to prevent the chair from moving.
Why is a bedside commode needed?
A person may need to use a commode if he needs to stay in bed most of the time. A commode is useful if a person is weak or unsteady. If he is at risk of falling, a commode may be safer than walking to the bathroom.
How do I help someone use a bedside commode?
- Gather supplies:
- Disposable gloves
- Toilet paper or wipes
- Container with warm water
- Help a person use the commode:
- Lock the wheels of the commode.
- Make sure the container is under the seat.
- Put a small amount of water in the container before it is used. This makes it easier to clean the container later.
- Help the person out of bed and onto the commode. Use a gait belt if needed.
- Stay with the person for safety, or give them a bell to ring when they are done or need help.
- When the person is done:
- Put on a pair of disposable gloves.
- Help the person to stand.
- Use toilet paper, wipes, or soap and water to help the person clean their genital area or bottom. Gently towel dry.
- Help the person wash and dry his hands.
- Help the person back to bed.
- Remove the container and take it to the bathroom. Put the toilet seat up and empty the container into the toilet.
- Clean the container with a toilet brush, germ-killing cleanser, and water. Rinse well and put the container back under the commode. Remove your gloves and throw them away.

Ancient kings rendered yeoman service to propagate Buddhism - PM
By Ananda Kannangara
DN Monday Jun 16 2003
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on Saturday commended the great religious service rendered by king Kavantissa to propagate Buddhism in the country and said that construction of the Tassamaharama Maha Dagaba by this great king is a fine example for his endeavours in spreading of this religion.
He made these observations at a ceremony held at Tissamaharamaya to coincide with the unveiling of the pinnacle at the renovated Tissamaharama Maha Dagaba on the Poson Full Moon poya day.
The Premier unveiled the pinnacle at the auspicious time of 9.10 am. amidst a large number of Buddhist clergy and devotees. Tissamaharama Viharaya chief incumbent Ven. Dr. Devalegama Dhammasena was present.
Thanking the Government of Myanmar for presenting an invaluable Chudamanikkaya to be placed on the pinnacle the Premier highlighted the importance of renovating this ancient dagaba without tarnishing its prestige glory.
"Our ancient dagabas not only helped to preserve Buddhism but also to spread the religion through Buddhist monks who are closely associated with these dagabas."
The Premier outlined the history of Theravada Buddhism which existed in our country from the time Buddhism was brought during the period of king Devanampiyatissa and said that several kings including Kavantissa and Dutugemunu immensely helped to preserve Buddhism.
"When king Kavantissa built Tissa Maha Viharaya in Ruhuna with the objective of preserving Buddhism his son King Dutugemunu constructed the Ruwanweliseya at Anuradhapura for the benefit of Buddhists in that region", he said.
Wickremesinghe also recalled that king Parakramabahu too fostered Buddhism in our country as well as countries such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Burma. He said even countries such as Japan and Korea highly accepted the Theravada Buddhism due to the tireless efforts made by these kings to spread Buddhism.
Delivering an anusasana Ven. Dr. Devalegama Dhammasena Thera said that renovating the ancient Tissa Maha Dagaba is a meritorious deed and thanked Mr. Yasasiri Kasturiaratchchi for providing financial assistance to carry out the entire renovation work and also the Cultural Affairs Ministry for providing all the assistance to fulfil this obligation. Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapakse valued the religious service rendered by king Kavantissa and said that the king developed the country in agriculture too.
"King Kavantisa also provided forces to his son Dutugemunu during the period king Dutugemunu fought with king Elara," he said.
Rajapaksa also requested the Government to take steps to renovate at least 262 ancient Buddhist temples located in the Northern and Eastern areas.
Education Minister Dr Karunasena Kodituwakku thanked former President J.R. Jayawardene for establishing the Central Cultural Fund which is helping the Government to carry out several projects including the renovation of ancient religious places.
Power and Energy Minister Karu Jayasooriya highlighted the importance of conducting this nature of religious ceremonies frequently as they immensely help to create a just society and a religious atmosphere in the country.
Deputy healthy Minister Sajith Premadasa said that renovating ancient dagabas and other religious places are needed to create a religious society and requested the public to take steps to renovate other religious places located elsewhere in the country.

Use the average of all values as sort value. Only applicable for number based array fields.
Sort mode example usageedit
In the example below the field price has multiple prices per document. In this case the result hits will be sort by price ascending based on the average price per document.
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search' -d '{
 "query" : {
 ...
 },
 "sort" : [
 {"price" : {"order" : "asc", "mode" : "avg"}}
 ]
}'
Sorting within nested objects.edit
Elasticsearch also supports sorting by fields that are inside one or more nested objects. The sorting by nested field support has the following parameters on top of the already existing sort options:
nested_path
Defines the on what nested object to sort. The actual sort field must be a direct field inside this nested object. The default is to use the most immediate inherited nested object from the sort field.
nested_filter
A filter the inner objects inside the nested path should match with in order for its field values to be taken into account by sorting. Common case is to repeat the query / filter inside the nested filter or query. By default no nested_filter is active.
Nested sorting exampleedit
In the below example offer is a field of type nested. Because offer is the closest inherited nested field, it is picked as nested_path. Only the inner objects that have color blue will participate in sorting.
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search' -d '{
 "query" : {
 ...
 },
 "sort" : [
 {
 "offer.price" : {
 "mode" : "avg",
 "order" : "asc",
 "nested_filter" : {
 "term" : { "offer.color" : "blue" }
 }
 }
 }
 ]
}'
Nested sorting is also supported when sorting by scripts and sorting by geo distance.
Missing Valuesedit
The missing parameter specifies how docs which are missing the field should be treated: The missing value can be set to _last, _first, or a custom value (that will be used for missing docs as the sort value). For example:
{
 "sort" : [
 { "price" : {"missing" : "_last"} },
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
If a nested inner object doesn't match with the nested_filter then a missing value is used.
Ignoring Unmapped Fieldsedit
[1.4.0.Beta1] Added in 1.4.0.Beta1. Before 1.4.0 there was the ignore_unmapped boolean parameter, which was not enough information to decide on the sort values to emit, and didn't work for cross-index search. It is still supported but users are encouraged to migrate to the new unmapped_type instead.
By default, the search request will fail if there is no mapping associated with a field. The unmapped_type option allows to ignore fields that have no mapping and not sort by them. The value of this parameter is used to determine what sort values to emit. Here is an example of how it can be used:
{
 "sort" : [
 { "price" : {"unmapped_type" : "long"} },
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
If any of the indices that are queried doesn't have a mapping for price then Elasticsearch will handle it as if there was a mapping of type long, with all documents in this index having no value for this field.
Geo Distance Sortingedit
Allow to sort by _geo_distance. Here is an example:
{
 "sort" : [
 {
 "_geo_distance" : {
 "pin.location" : [-70, 40],
 "order" : "asc",
 "unit" : "km",
 "mode" : "min",
 "distance_type" : "sloppy_arc"
 }
 }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
distance_type
How to compute the distance. Can either be sloppy_arc (default), arc (slighly more precise but significantly slower) or plane (faster, but inaccurate on long distances and close to the poles).
Note: the geo distance sorting supports sort_mode options: min, max and avg.
The following formats are supported in providing the coordinates:
Lat Lon as Propertiesedit
{
 "sort" : [
 {
 "_geo_distance" : {
 "pin.location" : {
 "lat" : 40,
 "lon" : -70
 },
 "order" : "asc",
 "unit" : "km"
 }
 }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
Lat Lon as Stringedit
Format in lat,lon.
{
 "sort" : [
 {
 "_geo_distance" : {
 "pin.location" : "-70,40",
 "order" : "asc",
 "unit" : "km"
 }
 }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
Geohashedit
{
 "sort" : [
 {
 "_geo_distance" : {
 "pin.location" : "drm3btev3e86",
 "order" : "asc",
 "unit" : "km"
 }
 }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
Lat Lon as Arrayedit
Format in [lon, lat], note, the order of lon/lat here in order to conform with GeoJSON.
{
 "sort" : [
 {
 "_geo_distance" : {
 "pin.location" : [-70, 40],
 "order" : "asc",
 "unit" : "km"
 }
 }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
Multiple reference pointsedit
Added in 1.4.0.Beta1.
Multiple geo points can be passed as an array containing any geo_point format, for example
"pin.location" : [[-70, 40], [-71, 42]]
"pin.location" : [{"lat": -70, "lon": 40}, {"lat": -71, "lon": 42}]
and so forth.
The final distance for a document will then be min/max/avg (defined via mode) distance of all points contained in the document to all points given in the sort request.
Script Based Sortingedit
Allow to sort based on custom scripts, here is an example:
{
 "query" : {
 ....
 },
 "sort" : {
 "_script" : {
 "script" : "doc['field_name'].value * factor",
 "type" : "number",
 "params" : {
 "factor" : 1.1
 },
 "order" : "asc"
 }
 }
}
Note, it is recommended, for single custom based script based sorting, to use function_score query instead as sorting based on score is faster.
Track Scoresedit
When sorting on a field, scores are not computed. By setting track_scores to true, scores will still be computed and tracked.
{
 "track_scores": true,
 "sort" : [
 { "post_date" : {"reverse" : true} },
 { "name" : "desc" },
 { "age" : "desc" }
 ],
 "query" : {
 "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
 }
}
Memory Considerationsedit
When sorting, the relevant sorted field values are loaded into memory. This means that per shard, there

Lessons learned: one year later after the earthquake and Tsunami
"The earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. It also struck at all societies across the world," declared UNESCO Director-General, Irina Bokova, during a ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. This ceremony, held on 5 March, followed the designating of Japanese tea master Sen Genshitsu as UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
"I was struck by the courage and determination I saw everywhere during my visit (…) I saw this in children and university students, in parents and teachers, in local authorities and government officials," she continued, referring to her official trip to Japan last February.
During this official visit, which took place on the eve of the first anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, the Director-General conveyed a message of solidarity and highlighted the role of culture, education and scientific cooperation in the recovery process.
A charity concert for school children affected by the earthquake and tsunami, will take place at UNESCO Headquarters on 11 March. This anniversary concert is organized by La Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris, JAPONAIDE and the International Staff Association of UNESCO, under the patronage of the Embassy of Japan in France and the Permanent Delegation of Japan to UNESCO.

 2.4 Allow time-independent interaction. (P1)
 1. For [92]content where user input is only possible within a finite
 time interval controlled by the user agent, allow
 [93]configuration to make the time interval "infinite". Do this by
 pausing automatically at the end of each time interval where user
 input is possible, and resuming automatically after the user has
 explicitly completed input.
 2. In this configuration, alert the user when the session has been
 paused and which [94]enabled elements are time-sensitive.
 3. When the user pauses a real-time presentation, the user agent may
 discard packets that continue to arrive during the pause.
My sense of the SVG objections, here, can be summarized in two main points:
a. Pausing the individual sensitive element in the context of a larger
animated SVG does not make sense.
b. What determines the time window in which the actions on an element in an
animated SVG are actually available to the user, with occlusion and indirect
binding taken into account, is possible, but hard, to determine in time to
pause the presentation at the end of sensitivity. Order of magnitude to add
this function might be twice the effort as to create the module (SVG player)
that the functionality is being added to. [Because it is technically
it is not clear that it is excused under the 'determinability' language of
[Just my sense of what they said, to make the response clearer.]
a. Yes. When one stops or pauses a time-based presentation, what is stopped
or paused is the entire synchronized presentation. One is not assumed to be
able to do a'stop' or 'pause' of sub-objects that the user cherry-picks
out of
the onrushing ensemble of presentation. This is a communication glitch
UA WG and SVG WG that is shared with the comments about Checkpoints 4.4 and
(see issue 417).
Where the UAAG talks about stopping or pausing 'elements' the 'elements'
intended were independenly playable media objects (including synchronized
ensembles) concurrently embedded in an asynchronous context such as an HTML
b. The proper test of P1 in this context is access to outcomes. As in the
first, summary statement of the checkpoint,, "Allow time-independent
It is desirable that this required outcome be performed in a way that minimzes
changes in how the access to outcomes is mediated to the user. Change the UI
as little as possible, that makes it work for them. The specific method, of
pausing the presentation on the fly, as described in the sub-bullets starting
with "Do this by pausing..." is offered in this spirit.
However, that is not the only way to achieve time-independent access to the
outcomes. A static menu of controls (probably with a web page look and feel)
that grants access to the same range of outcomes should be recognized as
meeting the P1 test in this regard.
There is plausible risk that the currently stated method, applied to an
animated SVG, would not only be a bear to implement, but would result in a
presentation that is of no earthly use to anyone, because of the incessant
pausing for too many incidental events.
In a classical SMIL context where the syncronized ensemble is composed of a
relatively small number of independently playable media objects, it may make
sense to employ the on-the-fly pausing technique. But it should be
admitted in
the checkpoint that this is not the only way to accomplish the required
The idea that this specific method is not readily achievable in implementing
animated SVG is prima_facie plausible, and we are not the experts who could
second-guess the implementers with regard to this assertion. Under the
circumstances, since the stated method is sufficient but not necessary to
remove the P1 barrier, the implementers should be given the benefit of the
doubt on the implementation unreasonableness and we should reword the
checkpoint to give implementers more latitude in which to effect equivalent

Title
Size - resolved composition and morphology of particulate matter during the southwest monsoon in Metro Manila, Philippines
Document Type

Publication Date

Abstract
This paper presents novel results from size-resolved particulate matter (PM) mass, composition, and morphology measurements conducted during the 2018 southwest monsoon (SWM) season in Metro Manila, Philippines. Micro-orifice uniform deposit impactors (MOUDIs) were used to collect PM sample sets composed of size-resolved measurements at the following aerodynamic cut-point diameters (Dp): 18, 10, 5.6, 3.2, 1.8, 1.0, 0.56, 0.32, 0.18, 0.10, and 0.056 µm. Each sample set was analyzed for composition of the water-soluble fraction. Analysis for mass was carried out on two sample sets, whereas black carbon (BC) and morphology analysis were analyzed on a single sample set. The bulk of the PM mass was between 0.18 and 1.0 µm with a dominant mode between 0.32 and 0.56 µm. Similarly, most of the black carbon (BC) mass was found between 0.10 and 1.0 µm, peaking between 0.18 and 0.32 µm. These peaks are located in the Greenfield gap, or the size range between 0.10 and 1.0 µm, where wet scavenging by rain is relatively inefficient. In the range between 0.10 and 0.18 µm, BC constituted 78.1 % of the measured mass. Comparable contributions of BC (26.9 %) and the water-soluble fraction (33.4 %) to total PM were observed and most of the unresolved mass, which amounted to 39.6 % in total, was for diameters exceeding 0.32 µm. The water-soluble ions and elements exhibited an average combined concentration of 8.53 µg m−3, with SO42-, NH4+, NO3-, Na+, and Cl− as the major contributors. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was applied to identify the possible aerosol sources and estimate their contribution to the water-soluble fraction of collected PM. The factor with the highest contribution was attributed to "aged aerosol" (48.0 %), while "sea salt" (22.5 %) and "combustion" emissions (18.7 %) had comparable contributions. "Vehicular/resuspended dust" (5.6 %) and "waste processing" emissions (5.1 %) were also identified. Microscopy analysis highlighted the ubiquity of nonspherical particles regardless of size, which is significant when considering calculations of parameters such as single scattering albedo, the asymmetry parameter, and the extinction efficiency. The significant influence from aged aerosol to Metro Manila during the SWM season indicates that local sources in this megacity do not fully govern this coastal area's aerosol properties. The fact that the majority of the regional aerosol mass burden is accounted for by BC and other insoluble components has important downstream effects on the aerosol hygroscopic properties, which depend on composition. The results are relevant for understanding the impacts of monsoonal features on size-resolved aerosol properties, notably aqueous processing and wet scavenging. Finally, the results of this work provide contextual data for future sampling campaigns in Southeast Asia such as the airborne component of the Cloud, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex) planned for the SWM season in 2019.

Augustus Edward Hough LoveArticle Free Pass
Augustus Edward Hough Love, (born April 17, 1863, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England—died June 5, 1940, Oxford), British geophysicist and mathematician who discovered a major type of seismic wave that was subsequently named for him.
Love held the Sedleian professorship of natural philosophy at the University of Oxford from 1899 to 1940. In his analysis of earthquake waves, Love made the assumption that the Earth consists of concentric layers that differ in density and postulated the occurrence of a seismic wave confined to the surface layer, or crust, of the Earth. This wave would be propagated as a result of the difference in density between the crust and underlying mantle. His prediction was confirmed by recordings of the behaviour of waves in the surface layer of the Earth. He proposed a method—based on measurements of Love waves—to measure the thickness of the Earth's crust. In addition to his work on geophysical theory, Love studied elasticity and wrote A Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity, 2 vol. (1892–93).

Waimea in Kauai County, Hawaii — Hawaiian Island Archipelago (Pacific Ocean)
Russian Fort Elizabeth
1815 - 1864
These forts were built under the direction of Georg Anton Schaeffer, an agent with the Russian-American Company, and Fort Elizabeth was named for the Czarina of Russia at the time of fort construction. The Russians made an alliance with Kauai King Kaumualii to build the forts and to secure a provisioning station in Hawaii for the Russian-American ships trading between the American Northwest and Asia across the Pacific Ocean. The Russians were forced to leave Kauai and abandon the forts in 1817. Hawaiian troops completed & occupied Fort Elizabeth from 1817 until 1864.
The fort was dismantled in 1864 by order of the Hawaiian government and the fort has fallen into disrepair since that time. The remnants of Russian Fort Elizabeth consist of the fort wall made of basalt boulders staked over an earthen

Recursion is a programming paradigm as well as a problem solving strategy thought to be very challenging to grasp for university students. This article outlines a pilot study, which expands the age range of students exposed to the concept of recursion in computer science through instruction in a series of interesting and engaging activities. In this study, a small number of students (n = 9) aged 11 to 13 years, were presented with a new and unique recursion curriculum involving hands-on experiences over a seven-week period at the University of Victoria, Canada. The curriculum was comprised of a series of progressively challenging recursion activities—roughly based upon the ideas of 'Computer Science Unplugged' (Bell, Witten, & Fellows, 2009)—and included programming applications with MicroWorlds EX, a programming language based on LOGO. Through this engagement, an increased number of students recognized and understood the concepts covered. We hypothesize that through experiences for youth with activities such as those outlined here, the number of students who understand fundamental computer science applications and who might potentially pursue computer science in post-secondary education will increase. We hypothesis further that through an earlier encounter of "challenging" concepts the learning and understanding of those will become easier at the university level. In this paper, the curriculum, classroom experiences, preliminary, largely descriptive and qualitative results and next steps in the research are discussed.

We investigated the self-assembled growth of mum-scale topological crystals of NbSe3 based on the chemical vapor transportation method. The shapes of these materials, including cylinders, Mobius strips and "figure-eight" strips, are the physical realization of topological configurations defined by wedge and twist disclinations as well as dispirations. The crystal structure is investigated by X-ray powder diffraction technique and it is revealed that they are NbSe3 crystals with a considerable strain. The variations in topology and growth form (e.g. rings, disks and tubes) are explained based on a growth model that a NbSe3 whisker encircles a selenium droplet by the surface tension to form a loop. The twisted topologies of Mobius strip's and figure-eight strips originates from either the symmetry of the elastic property of NbSe3 or bend-twist transformation. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Jan Lechoń was a poet who actively used memory motifs in his works. These threads were very often correlated with musical and sound themes. First, this article is an attempt to show how Lechoń constructed specific models of cultural memory, in which musical reminiscences played an important role. Secondly, the text shows a lot of evidence that the main method of building musical and literary dependencies that Lechoń used was the Musicality II specified by Andrzej Hejmej, consisting in treating music as an element of a larger topic. Music in Lechoń's poetry is not always treated as a value in itself. The poet often treats music, e.g. the theme of a concert or playing an instrument, as a pretext to show other content, especially those that are important to Polish cultural memory.

by the y register) into a register (which must be the a register.)
In addition to the constraints above, y must be initialized before this mode is used.
st
st <src-memory-location>, <dest-memory-location> [+ <index-memory-location>]
Reads from src and writes to dest.
 - It is illegal if dest is a register or if dest is read-only.
 - It is illegal if dest does not occur in the WRITES of the current routine.
 - It is illegal if src is not of same type as dest.
 - It is illegal if src is uninitialized.
After execution, dest is considered initialized. No flags are changed by this instruction (unless of course dest is a flag.)
If and only if dest is a byte table, the index-memory-location must be given. In this case, it is illegal if the value of the index-memory-location falls outside of the range of the table.
There is another mode of st which write a into memory, indirectly through a pointer.
st a, [<dest-memory-location>] + y
The memory location in this syntax must be a pointer.
This syntax copies the constents of the a register into the contents of memory at the pointer (offset by the y register).
In addition to the constraints above, y must be initialized before this mode is used.
copy
copy <src-memory-location>, <dest-memory-location>
Reads from src and writes to dest. Differs from st in that is able to copy more general types of data (for example, vectors,) and it trashes the z and n flags and the a register.
 - It is illegal if dest is read-only.
 - It is illegal if dest does not occur in the WRITES of the current routine.
 - It is illegal if src is not of same type as dest.
 - It is illegal if src is uninitialized.
After execution, dest is considered initialized, and z and n, and a are considered uninitialized.
There are two extra modes that this instruction can be used in. The first is to load an address into a pointer:
copy ^<src-memory-location>, <dest-memory-location>
This copies the address of src into dest. In this case, src must be of type buffer, and dest must be of type pointer. src will not be considered a memory location that is read, since it is only its address that is being retrieved.
The second is to read or write indirectly through a pointer.
copy [<src-memory-location>] + y, <dest-memory-location>
copy <src-memory-location>, [<dest-memory-location>] + y
In both of these, the memory location in the []+y syntax must be a pointer.
The first copies the contents of memory at the pointer (offset by the y register) into a byte memory location.
The second copies a literal byte, or a byte memory location, into the contents of memory at the pointer (offset by the y register).
In addition to the constraints above, y must be initialized before this mode is used.
add dest, src
add <dest-memory-location>, <src-memory-location>
Adds the contents of src to dest and stores the result in dest.
 - It is illegal if src OR dest OR c is uninitialized.
 - It is illegal if dest is read-only.
 - It is illegal if dest does not occur in the WRITES of the current routine.
Affects n, z, c, and v flags, requiring that they be in the WRITES, and initializing them afterwards.
dest and src continue to be initialized afterwards.
In addition, if dest is of word type, then src must also be of word type, and in this case this instruction trashes the a register.
NOTE: If dest is a pointer, the addition does not check if the result of the pointer arithmetic continues to be valid (within a buffer) or not.
inc
inc <dest-memory-location>
Increments the value in dest. Does not honour carry.
 - It is illegal if dest is uninitialized.
 - It is illegal if dest is read-only.
 - It is illegal if dest does not occur in the WRITES of the current routine.
Affects n and z flags, requiring that they be in the WRITES, and initializing them afterwards.

 - It is illegal if dest is read-only.
 - It is illegal if dest does not occur in the WRITES of the current routine.
Affects n, z, c, and v flags, requiring that they be in the WRITES, and initializing them afterwards.
dest and src continue to be initialized afterwards.

Scientists from the University of Bristol have found that dung beetles can help farmers by reducing the development and survival of parasites in cowpats that cause serious illness in cattle during the summer months.
The study was led by Bryony Sands from the School of Biological Sciences, a NERC-funded PhD student and is published today in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Artificial cow pats were made using faeces collected elsewhere and were manipulated by adding dung beetles and varying simulated rainfall. After two weeks, parasitic larvae were taken from vegetation surrounding the cow pats.
The numbers of parasitic larvae found on vegetation around pats increased over the first six weeks, and remained high for at least ten weeks.
At first, there were more parasites found around pats that were colonised by dung beetles as opposed to un-colonised pats.
However, after eight weeks, fewer parasitic larvae were found around pats that were colonised by dung beetles. This pattern persisted for the rest of the ten week experiment.
Increased rainfall was achieved by periodically watering the pats. This led to more parasitic larvae being found on the pasture, suggesting that reduced development and survival of livestock parasites as a result of dung beetle activity can be overridden by heavy rainfall.
It was suggested that dung beetle activity ventilates cow pats, providing the right initial conditions for parasite egg hatching.
However, parasite survival was reduced overall in pats with more beetles. Larvae require moist conditions, and dung beetle activity dries cow pats out rapidly, leading to parasite death. On average, almost 200 insects naturally colonised each cow pat, including 20 Aphodius dung beetles, which permanently live within dung.
Bryony Sands said: "Dung beetle conservation is vital for the welfare of our farm animals.
"The conservation of dung beetles on farmland today is extremely important for their role in dung degradation, nutrient cycling, pasture fertility, and because now we have seen that they can contribute to reducing economically deleterious livestock parasites on farms.
"These beetles may be important in cow welfare, as cows are severely affected by parasites found in their intestines."
Current control against parasites involves insecticide chemicals which the cows do not fully digest, resulting in contaminated cow pats.
Bryony Sands added: "These pats are toxic to dung beetles, even though these critters may provide natural control against the same parasites the chemicals are fighting. Controlling parasites is expensive, and these beetles could provide a natural way to keep cows worm-free."


Ball, On Back

Purpose: To develop smooth ocular pursuit ability under minimal postural demands.
Materials: Ball on string from ceiling
Procedure:
1. Have patient lie on the floor face upward.
2. Suspend a ball on a string about two feet above the patient's face and slowly rotate the ball while he follows it with his eyes.
3. Start with small circles and gradually increase the size of the circle.
4. Alter clockwise and counterclockwise rotations.
5. Patient is NOT to move head.
6. If possible, change distance of ball from eyes by slowly raising and lowering ball while it swings.
7. Patient points at ball and feels that his arm is leading the ball.
Aspects to be emphasized:
1. Smooth following of the ball with eyes.
2. Recognize the feeling in the arm of leading the ball, even though not in contact with it.


Shepherds Passing

Prometheus and Atlas
Prometheus and Atlas
Without as much as a wave shepherd moons Prometheus and Atlas pass by each other, each on their own paths around the rings.
Prometheus, casting a long shadow, pulls at the F ring's bands of material while smaller Atlas guards the edges of the A ring. The larger is 93 miles across at its widest point, the other is 23 miles wide. Both moons are irregularly-shaped, Prometheus extremely so.
The vertical banding visible in this modified raw image is a result of Cassini's imager, not a feature of the rings. See the original image here.

rarpd - reverse address resolution protocol daemon
rarpd [-d[level]] network-name ...
Rarpd listens on the given networks for broadcast packets asking for
reverse address resolution. These packets are sent by hosts at boot time
to find out their IP address. Rarpd looks up the six octet ethernet
number in the /etc/ethers file finding a host name. This name is
translated to the IP address of the host by a DNS lookup. The IP address
is then sent to the host.
Under Minix the program forks as needed to give each network its own
server. Under Minix-vmd all networks are handled in the same program
using async I/O.
Private Ethernet Addresses
For VU practical work, where students have to create their own IP stack
starting at the bottom with RARP, this implementation recognizes Ethernet
addresses starting with octet 0x76 as special. The next octet is used as
a additional host number and the next and last four octets as an IP
address that this Ethernet address is additional for. The IP address is
translated back to a name, and the first component of that name gets a
dash and the additional host number added to it. That hostname is then
looked up and its IP address returned in a RARP reply. Example:
76:3:c0:a8:e7:fa Additional 3, IP 192.168.231.250
flotsam.example.com Reverse lookup on 192.168.231.250
flotsam-3.example.com Splicing in additional number
192.168.231.42 Forward lookup
In this example a RARP query for 76:3:c0:a8:e7:fa gets 192.168.231.42 as
Turns on debugging messages at the given level, by default 1. At
level 1 you will be shown what answers are sent, and at level 2 or
higher you will be told about queries from unknown hosts or host on
the wrong network. The debug level can also be increased by 1 at
runtime by sending signal SIGUSR1 or turned off (set to 0) with
ifconfig(8), ethers(5), hosts(5), inet(8), boot(8), dhcpd(8), irdpd(8),
A "network name" is the device name of the IP device of a network, i.e.
ip0, ip1, ...
The RARP protocol has gone out of fashion in favour of DHCP.

Globalization of E-Commerce
Impacts of Electronic Commerce on the Global Networked Economy
- A Multi-Country Study
The Internet and electronic commerce are bringing countries together to create a global networked economy. Internet technology is said to have no regard for national borders, but the people and companies that use the technology function within very different national environments. This research program examines the global diffusion of Internet-based e-commerce, how national environments and policies influence e-commerce use within countries, and the economic and social impacts of e-commerce. It addresses the following general issues:
 - How do global trends such as technology innovation and economic liberalization influence international diffusion of the Internet and e-commerce?
 - What national environmental factors and policies influence the diffusion of e-commerce use within individual countries?
 - What are the social and economic impacts of e-commerce, and how are they affected by national environments and policies?
This project examines the impacts of e-commerce on a multi-country basis. It includes selected country case studies looking at the growth of e-commerce nationally, and also in more detail in three critical industry sectors: manufacturing industry, financial services, and retail. These studies serve as a basis for identifying key environmental and policy factors that influence the diffusion and impacts of e-commerce.
In addition, data is being collected on e-commerce globally in over 40 countries on e-commerce revenues and on environmental factors, such as income, education, telecommunications infrastructure and others, that might have an impact on e-commerce application. This data is being used to identify trends and to analyze the relationship between environmental factors and use. More detailed data is being gathered on the three industry sectors for comparative purposes. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies facilitates the study of new, fast-changing e-commerce innovation in a very fluid market environment.
The project is being carried out by a team of researchers from around the world. The effort is led by the CRITO Institute of University of Irvine, California, but involves collaboration with experts from Brazil (Paulo Bastos Tigre, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), Denmark (Kim Andersen, Copenhagen Business School), China (Zixiang Tan, Syracuse University and Wu Ouyang, Center for Information Infrastructure and Economic Development), France (Eric Brousseau, University of Paris X), Japan (Dennis Tachiki, Tamagawa University Tokyo), Mexico (Juan J. Palacios, University of Guadalajara), Singapore (Poh Kam Wong, National University of Singapore), Taiwan (Tain-Jy Chen, National Taiwan University), the United States (John Leslie King, University of Michigan) and Germany (Wolfgang Koenig, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main).
The potential outcomes of the research include: (1) better understanding of the relationship between national environments and the use and impacts of e-commerce (2) benchmarks for future studies of national and global trends, (3) business metrics for global e-commerce markets; and (4) insights for policymakers who seek to maximize the benefits of e-commerce.
The Institute of Information Systems, J. W. Goethe University, Frankfurt and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock are the national resarch partners for Germany. The project is supported by a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation till 2004. For further information contact Roman Beck.

UFT/QTP virtual memory issues
Have you ever encountered virtual memory issues when running long QuickTest Professional or Unified Functional testing scripts? They tend to occur while running either long overnight tests, or tests that have a ton of iterations. (If you're a sadist, your scripts might do both.)
Here are three things that might be causing your virtual memory issue:
- Not defining all your functions in a global function library
- Your application is not releasing memory
- QTP/UFT is not releasing memory
Place all your functions in a global function library
A leading cause of virtual memory issues is when local variables and functions are used within Actions. When this approach is used, QuickTest does not release its memory until it closes.
For example, if you have an action that iterates 1,000 times and you've defined 10 local variables, after 1,000 iterations enough memory will have been allocated for 10,000 variables! Things get even crazier if you're using an action-based framework that involves multiple actions calling each other.
The medication to relieve some of these memory allocation symptoms is to move all your variables and functions into a QTP VBScript library. Creating a function library won't solve all your memory usage issues, but it will help drastically minimize your memory usage.
Under QTP's File>settings>Resources section, you can point to your function library using the add button to associate your function library with the test script.
Once your script has a reference to the function library, you'll be able to call all the functions by typing them directly into your script. By creating a library file, you make your functions accessible to all your UFT scripts. Not only will this alleviate virtual memory issues, but it also will help:
- Simplify code for easier readability and maintenance
- Allow you to override an existing object method
- Abstracts your code for use and reuse in scripts, business components and recovery scenarios
If you don't know how to create a function library, take a look at the following example.
Creating a Library File
To create a function library you can either select File>New>Function Library in QuickTest Professional, or create a new file in a text editor like Notepad. For example:
- Create a new file in Notepad.
- Enter the following:
Function testMsg(firstName, lastName) msg = "Hello " & lastName &"," & firstName msgbox msg End Function
- Save as myFunction.txt to your C drive.
- In UFT/QTP, select File>New test.
- In the new test, click on File>Settings>Resources click on the add (+) button.
- If you get a "Relative Path" dialog, click No.
- The myFunction.txt library should now show up under the Resources section. Click on the "Test Settings" apply button.
- In your test, under the expert view, begin typing in the function name testMsg. Notice how the parameters for the function are shown.
- Enter the name:
- Click Run.
Your application is not releasing memory
There's no real solution for this if you're testing an application that's a memory hog. But in general, you might be able to free up some memory by minimizing the application. If minimizing doesn't help you should try starting and stopping your application for each test, or create a script that stops and restarts your application after a few tests have run. This is an issue I've commonly encountered when testing against IE, and I've found that minimizing the browser tends to solve things much of the time.
QTP/UFT is not releasing memory
Let's be honest. QTP/UFT itself can be a huge memory drain on your tests. If you're running tests that take hours and have lots of iterations you're inevitable going to encounter some issues. My advice is to restart QTP/Unified Functional Testing during replay, which will help to free up any memory that QuickTest Pro is holding onto. To do this you can use QTP's Automation Object Model. HP's knowledge base has a pretty cool code example on how to use AOM, as well as environment variables to help determine when to restart QTP after number of iterations:
(Source: The rest of this post is taken directly from HP's KB Site) The following set of instructions is a proposal with a on to generic approach to handle scenarios where QTP needs to be restarted:
1. Create a.vbs file (using AOM statements) that can be called from within QuickTest Professional. The.vbs file should check:
If QuickTest Professional is running, modify a couple environment variables (these will control the iterations) and shut down QuickTest Professional.
If QuickTest Professional is not running, launch it. Set some run-time settings, and start the script execution.
Example contents of the.vbs file:
' Wait 2 seconds to allow QuickTest Professional to complete replay overhead. wscript.sleep 2000 'Create a QuickTest Professional AOM object Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")'Check to see if QuickTest Professional is open (not necessarily running a script) if qtApp.GetStatus <> "Not launched" then set qtTest = qtApp.Test'Get access to the test'Get the current value of the "it_start" environment variable. This is the iteration start index. itstart = qtTest.Environment.Value("it_start")'Get the current value of the "it_stop" environment variable. This is the iteration stop index. itstop = qtTest.Environment.Value("it_stop")'Set the new values of the it_start and it_stop variables qtTest.Environment.Value("it_start") = CInt(itstop) + 1 drows = qtTest.DataTable.GetRowCount if drows > CInt(itstop) + 4 then stp = CInt(itstop) + 4 else stp = drows end if qtTest.Environment.Value("it_stop") = stp'Close QuickTest Professional qtApp.Quit end if'Wait 2 seconds to allow QuickTest Professional processes to end wscript.sleep 2000'Launch QuickTest Professional and make it visible qtApp.Launch qtApp.Visible = True'Open the test script. Update to have full path to your test script qtApp.Open'Get the current value of the "it_start" environment variable itstart = qtApp.Test.Environment.Value("it_start")'Get the current value of the "it_stop" environment variable itstop = qtApp.Test.Environment.Value("it_stop")'Set the Test Iterations for the script qtApp.Test.Settings.Run.IterationMode = "rngIterations" qtApp.Test.Settings.Run.StartIteration = itstart qtApp.Test.Settings.Run.EndIteration = itstop'Run the test qtApp.Test.Run'Release the QuickTest Professional object Set qtApp = Nothing
Note: Update the.vbs file to specify the full path to the test you wish to restart.
2. Open your test script, and go to Test -> Settings.
3. In the Environment tab, select "User-defined" in the Variable type field.
4. Enter two new variables, it_start and it_stop. (You can use other names, if you wish, but you will need to change the vbs file also.)
5. Set the it_start value to 1. Set the it_stop value to the number of iterations you want to complete before restarting QuickTest Professional (for example, 1000).
6. At the end of the script (or in the last action), add code that will call the.vbs file when appropriate.
If Environment("TestIteration") = 1000 Then'1000 iterations complete. Restart QuickTest Professional SystemUtil.Run "closeQTP.vbs" End If
In the above example code, the Test Iteration Environment variable is retrieved and checked to see if it has reached the limit set in step 5 (1000 iterations in the example). If the iteration limit has been reached, the.vbs file is launched. The start and stop iterations will be captured and stored and QuickTest Professional is restarted (if needed).
Make sure you update the.vbs file reflect the iteration limit you set in your script.
You should be able to start your script now and it will shut down and restart QuickTest Professional after x iterations.
Each time QuickTest Professional re-launches and starts to replay the script, a new test results folder will be created. Using AOM you can have some control over the test results folders, but you should not use the same folder for each launch of the script if you need to save the test results (QuickTest Professional will overwrite the previous results, not append to them).
Some QuickTest Professional test environments, such as Web, require the application to be started after QuickTest Professional. Keep this in mind and structure your test as needed to allow you to restart the application if required.
You should use the VBS file to launch the test script.

The didactic-pedagogical training of the university professor and of the quality of higher education must be revised due to the demands of the dynamic society and to the implementation of national curricular guidelines. Within this context, it was analyzed the perceptions of dentistry undergraduate of Universidade Estadual de Londrina teachers about the role of the teacher in the teaching and learning process. A qualitative research was carried out and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Results showed that the teacher plays an essential role in the teaching and learning process, being the sole provider of knowledge. Teaching and learning strategies are based on oral transmission. Most part of the teachers got their didactic-pedagogical education from postgraduate Courses (Master's and/or PhD), that do not qualify teachers adequately for their teaching career. The teachers are not formally prepared for their teaching careers. In conclusion, findings from this study must be revised both regarding the training and the didactic-pedagogical upgrading in search of a general, humanist, critical and reflexive formation of the student.

Turkish Philosophy and Water: Time and Ground
When we examine the spirit of the Turkish people conceptually, we encounter two interesting results. The first is the concept of person, and the second is the concept of heart. In all other languages, the concept of human appears as a soil / soil-based word as homo, humus, human, while the concept of water-based dynamic person is used only as a different concept in Turkish language; The person is related to the person (otter) who lives on the water's edge in the wetlands in the south of Siberia.
The texts that were put forward philosophically in Farabi were expressed by verses in Yunus Emre. Our human journey, which started with a quiche (otter) on the water edges of the south of Siberia, took its final form with Yunus Emre in Sivrihisar town of Asia Minor.
In Yunus Emre's 417 poems, Turkish, which defines human and the universe with all seven concepts, has now found its consistency and has gained the highest level of expression.
The fixed and dynamic personality differences, which are permitted by different etymological origins of humus (soil) and Kis (otter), are also the contrasts of uniform (uniform) and binflower (hercai) richness. This is the difference between the "unity" of the individual, the selfishness and the richness of the selfish.
Turks dominated 3 continents in terms of ground. They are in constant motion on the ground. While time flows like water, the Turks are constantly flowing on the ground. The expression of human in the West with the concept of earth-based human shows its constancy in space, its dependence on space, and the concept of water-based person in the Turkish tradition, shows the flow of time on the floors.
The fluidity of contact with water explains the Turks 'being a nomadic tribe, the Turkish states being an umbrella state, the Turks' adaptability, their ability to synthesize and transform themselves and other tribes.
The West represents settled societies and space, Turks represent nomadism and time. (Jalal Tahir)
Humus: Latin humus is an extract from the word "soil".
Homo, Homin: Terrestrial, Human
The word Adam (Human) is etymologically much older than the Arabic human and Latin terms homo, humanus. While the term humanist was first used by the Italian poet Lodovicio Ariosto (_PHONE_), this word was derived from the Latin humanus "human" word.
The Latin word is derived from the Latin word homo, homin- "'belonging to the land', human".
The two basic characteristics of human beings, namely the basing of life and death on the basis of water, have been effective in the formation of the mentality that enabled the Turks to spread in waves all over the ancient world. When water is used in order, it still exists.
When it goes out of order, it disappears. Similarly, Turks continued their existence when they became states, and when they were stateless, they dissolved like water. Source: Ayhan Bıçak. Turkish Thought 1: Origins. Dervish. Istanbul. 2013.
Göktürk-centered ancient Turks developed two basic ideas about human being, "being water-based" and "being created". Both of these appear to have been used in harmony. However, water origin may be more accepted among the public. It is clear that God is somehow involved in each stage of water origination.
When we look at the place of man in the concept of the universe, it is seen that he is given meaning with one of the four elements, water, the source of life.
Kish, which is the root of the person used to mean human in ancient Turkish, was used to mean sable and quiver.
The Siberian swamp otter Kisioğlu may have been instrumental in the emergence of the term. It seems possible to establish a connection between the person who points to the marsh sable and the person who means human.
Person and person must have been derived from the resemblance between the reed area near the water where the sable lives and the people living in a forest with abundant water. Thus, the living space has become the origin of the term human.
Considering the forests and rivers among the determining features of the settlement or the country in the Göktürks strengthens this connection. In addition, the fact that the origin myths are directly or indirectly related to water strengthens the idea that human beings are of water origin. Ayhan Bıçak. Turkish Thought 1: Origins. Dervish.

From its origin in the South, the blues' simple but expressive forms had become by the 1960s among the most important influences on the development of popular music throughout America.
Although instrumental accompaniment is nearly worldwide in the blues, the blues is basically a vocal kind. Blues songs are lyrical rather than narrative; blues singers are expressing feelings as opposed to telling stories. The emotion expressed is normally one of depression or melancholy, often due to difficulties in love.
As a musical style, the blues is defined by expressive "microtonal" pitch inflections (blue notes), a three-line textual stanza of the form AAB, and a 12-measure form. Normally the first two and a half measures of each line are committed to a half, the last measure and singing composed of an instrumental "break" that complements the vocal line, answers, or repeats. In terms of practical (i.e., traditional European) harmony, the simplest blues harmonic progression is described as follows (I, IV, and V refer respectively to the first or tonic, fourth or subdominant, and fifth or dominant notes of the scale):
Oops, something went wrong.

African influences are evident in the blues tonality, the call-and-response pattern of the falsetto break in the vocal style, the repeated refrain structure of the blues stanza, and the imitation of vocal idioms by instruments, especially the guitar and harmonica.
The origins of the blues are poorly documented. Blues developed in the southern United States after the American Civil War (1861–65). Blues derived from and was mostly played by Southern black men, most of whom came from the milieu of agricultural workers.
The first references to blues date s back to the 1890s and early 1900. In 1912 black bandleader W.C. Handy's composition "Memphis Blues" was released. It became very popular, and thereafter many other Tin Pan Alley tunes entitled blues started to appear.
Jefferson, Blind Lemon [Credit: Archive Photographs]The rural blues grown in the Carolinas, Georgia and three main regions, Texas, and Mississippi. The blues of Georgia and the Carolinas is noted for its clarity of enunciation and regularity of beat. Influenced by ragtime and white folk music, it is more melodic than the Mississippi and Texas styles. Blind Willie McTell and Blind Boy Fuller were representative of this style.
High, clean singing accompanied by supple guitar lines that consist typically of single characterizes the Texas blues -string picked arpeggios rather than strummed chords. Blind Lemon Jefferson was by far the most powerful Texas bluesman. Mississippi Delta blues has been the most powerful and is the most extreme of the three styles. Vocally, it is the most language-like, and the guitar accompaniment is percussive and rhythmic; a slide or bottleneck is frequently used. The Mississippi style is signified by Charley Patton, Eddie ("Son") House, and Robert Johnson, among others.

Rainey, Ma [Credit: Archive Photos]The first blues recordings were made in the 1920s by black women such as Mamie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, and Bessie Smith. These performers were mostly stage singers backed by jazz bands; their style is referred to as classic blues.
As millions of blacks left the South for the cities of the North the Great Depression and the World Wars caused the geographic dispersal of the blues. The blues became adapted to the more advanced urban environment. Lyrics took up urban themes, as the solo bluesman was joined by a pianist or harmonica player and then by a rhythm section consisting of drums and bass and the blues ensemble developed. The harmonica that was amplified and the electric guitar created a driving sound of great psychological and rhythmic intensity.
Hooker, John Lee [Credit:
It was Chicago, however, that played the greatest part in the growth of urban blues. In the 1920s and '30s Memphis Minnie, Tampa Red, Big Bill Broonzy, and John Lee ("Sonny Boy") Williamson were popular Chicago performers.
Many other musical styles have been influenced by the blues. Blues and jazz are closely linked; blues elements were employed by such seminal jazzmen as Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong in their music. Rhythm and soul music and blues also reveal forms and apparent blues tonalities. The blues have had their biggest effect on rock music.
Early rock singers like Elvis Presley often used blues content. British rock musicians in the 1960s, especially the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and John Mayall, were powerfully influenced by the blues, as were such American rock musicians as Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, and the Allman Brothers Band.
