ASP.NET & SQL Server DB Deployment with Publish Profiles
Last Updated: May 02, 2013 11:26PM AEST
This guide involves deploying SQL Server databases using ReadyRoll SQL Projects, an extension for Visual Studio 2010/2012. Otherwise, the features mentioned below ship with Visual Studio 2012, or Visual Studio 2010 with the Azure SDK installed.
When working with ASP.NET-based applications, you'll often need to couple this with changes to your underlying database schema.

Typically you'll be working in an isolated development environment when preparing changes, but when it comes time to promote up to an environment other than your own, you'll likely need to consider how to deploy your Web application assets along with the related database changes.

Ordinarily, these two elements have to be deployed separately. Fortunately, Visual Studio ships with the ability to package and deploy the two together using the WebDeploy method of the Publish command.
By the end of this tutorial you will be able to:

 - Publish a ASP.NET Web Application & ReadyRoll database project to a remote IIS & SQL Server instance
Get the source code for the projects used in this tutorial.

1. Create the solution & configure the ReadyRoll SQL project

Get started by creating a new solution in Visual Studio, with an ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application project and a ReadyRoll SQL Server Database project. Add a table to your database and import it into the project using the ReadyRoll DBSync tool window.

Your solution should now look something like this:

Now we'll ensure that the ReadyRoll database project always builds before the Web Application does. To do this, right-click the Web Application project in Solution Explorer and select Project Dependencies.
Check the database project from the Depends on list and click OK:

Next, we'll set up the database project so that it outputs a special type of script that can be used to deploy the database.
Right-click the database project and select Properties. Switch to the Project Settings tab and check SQLCMD package (.sql file) under Output types.
Now let's test the new configuration. First we'll switch to the Release configuration (this becomes important during set up of the publish profile; more on that later):

Right-click the database project and select Build.
Note that a script has been output as part of the build, named MyDatabase_Package.sql (sample)
When we execute this script as part of the Publish step, it will incrementally deploy all the T-SQL migration scripts contained within the MyDatabase ReadyRoll project to the database, creating the database on the target server if necessary. It does this by wrapping each of your Deploy-Once scripts in a conditional statement to ensure each is executed a single time only in the pre-defined order.

This deterministic style of database deployment means that the same script can be executed against all of your target environments to apply any pending migrations, creating or altering your database objects as defined in your T-SQL migrations.

2. Configure the Web Application

With the ReadyRoll project set up for package builds, we can link the Web Application to the Database Project to allow the two to be deployed together.
First let's add a connection string under the root node of the web application project's Web.config file. This will point to the data source underlying the database project:

 <connectionStrings>
 <add name="[TargetDatabase]"
 connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\Projects;
Initial Catalog=[TargetDatabase];Integrated Security=SSPI"
 providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 </connectionStrings>
**Substitute [TargetDatabase] with the name of the database, eg. MyDatabase.
Next we'll add a parameters file to the project to allow substitution of SQLCMD variables during a Publish operation.
To do this, right-click the Web Application project in Solution Explorer, and add a blank new XML file to the project root called parameters.xml with the following content:
 ?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <parameters>
 <parameter name="Sql script variable $(DatabaseName) in [ProjectName] scripts"
 description="Please provide the database name."
 defaultValue="[TargetDatabase]"
 tags="" />
 </parameters>
In our example, we'll substitute both [ProjectName] and [TargetDatabase] with MyDatabase.
In the next step we'll set up a publish profile to deploy the Web Application along with the Database.

3. Create a WebDeploy Publish profile
In this step we'll create a publish profile that deploys the web application and database package together, in this case against a local IIS server and SQL Server instance.
Right-click the Web Application project in the Solution Explorer and select Publish:
From the Publish Profile drop-down, select <New...> and specify a name, eg. Deploy-Dev:
From the Publish method drop-down list select Web Deploy and specify the target IIS server and Web Site/Application for your deployment:
Next, specify the connection string of the target environment (in this case, our Dev environment is located on localhost\sql11). Then check Use this connection string at runtime (update destination web.config). Also check Update database:
In the Configure Database Updates dialog, un-check [Auto schema update] and specify the location of the package deployment script generated earlier:
Finally, click Publish to kick off WebDeploy for the first time.
If you switch to the Output window in Visual Studio, you will see the progress of the Build/Package/Publish operation.
The output indicates that the publish succeeded, so let's check that the deployment had the intended effect in the target environment.
In IIS Manager the Web Application appears to have been deployed successfully: a new app has been created under the Default Web Site.
Now let's have a look at the database within SQL Management Studio (SSMS):
In the Object Explorer we can see that the changes have been applied to the target database server. The [__MigrationLog] table reveals that 2 migrations were applied during the Publish operation, in this case creating and then altering the structure of the [dbo].[Customer] table.
Oh, one last thing... don't forget to switch back to Debug! But remember that our publish profile will always use the Release configuration when deploying.
Remember: for each subsequent deploy after the database is initially created, ReadyRoll will only incrementally deploy your database: when you publish, the script will simply execute any pending migrations on the target SQL Server server instance, leaving the contained data intact. If you need to recreate the database, first drop the database from target server and then re-publish the Web Application project.

Summary

ReadyRoll's deterministic database package scripts require no external inputs to produce its build artifacts, which makes setting up a repeatable, co-ordinated deployment process for all your application assets an easy task.
The next logical step is to look at automating your deployments. Scott Hanselman has written a great blog post on some of the automation enhancements to Web Deploy that shipped with Visual Studio 2012:

text: Graphene field effect transistors commonly comprise graphene flakes lying on SiO(2) surfaces. The gate-voltage dependent conductance shows hysteresis depending on the gate sweeping rate/range. It is shown here that the transistors exhibit two different kinds of hysteresis in their electrical characteristics. Charge transfer causes a positive shift in the gate voltage of the minimum conductance, while capacitive gating can cause the negative shift of conductance with respect to gate voltage. The positive hysteretic phenomena decay with an increase of the number of layers in graphene flakes. Self-heating in a helium atmosphere significantly removes adsorbates and reduces positive hysteresis. We also observed negative hysteresis in graphene devices at low temperature. It is also found that an ice layer on/under graphene has a much stronger dipole moment than a water layer does. Mobile ions in the electrolyte gate and a polarity switch in the ferroelectric gate could also cause negative hysteresis in graphene transistors. These findings improved our understanding of the electrical response of graphene to its surroundings. The unique sensitivity to environment and related phenomena in graphene deserve further studies on nonvolatile memory, electrostatic detection, and chemically driven applications.

A woman artist who has made a mark in the Egyptian arts throughout the twentieth century,
Gazbia Sirry is considered one of the pioneers of the Modern Art movement in Egypt and the
Arab world altogether. Emphasizing strong female figures in the 1950 and 1960s, Sirry's
concentration shifted from representation to abstraction in the aftermath of the Arab defeat in
the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Consequently, categorizing Gazbia Sirry in any one school would be
limiting, but perhaps one factor that distinguishes her from all her peers, is her use of color.
Sirry's brushstrokes are urgent and fiery, and more evident in her later works but equally
apparent in her earlier figurative paintings.

Zod Tutorial (10 exercises)

Refactoring Duplicated Schemas
Once again, there are a bunch ways that this code could be refactored.
For reference, here's what we started with:
The Simple solution
The simplest solution is to strip out the id into its own type. From there, each of the z.objects could reference it:
This is pretty good, but id: ID is still being repeated. All of the cases are still passing, so that's okay.
Use the Extend Method
Another solution would be to create a base object which we'll call ObjectWithId. This base object will contain our id:
From there, we can use the extend method to create new schemas that add on to the base object:
Note that .extend() will overwrite fields!
Use the Merge Method
Similar to the above solution, we could use the merge method to extend the ObjectWithId base object:
Using .merge() is slightly more verbose than .extend(). We have to pass in a z.object() that contains the name z.string().
Merging is generally used when two different types are being combined, rather than just extending a single type.
Those are a few different ways that you can compose objects together in Zod to reduce the amount of code duplication, make things more DRY, and make things a bit more maintainable!
Transcript
There are a bunch of possible solutions here. The simplest solution is to strip out the ID thing here into its own type and then reference that within all the other z.objects, which is pretty good but we're still getting this object id: Id thing here. All of our cases are passing. This is OK.
Another solution would be to create a base object here, which is an ObjectWithId and then use the .extend function. What extend does is it creates a new type with the initial stuff here and the stuff that you add here.
What we end up with is we've got this ObjectWithId. That's the base of all of these pieces. If we add something else here, like created At which could be z.date, then this would also be shared across of the objects. That, obviously, wasn't the ID because we're going to get a lot of errors, then.
Another way you could do this is by using merge here. Merge, what it means, is you take the base ObjectWithId and you merge it with another object. You can see that this is slightly more verbose than the other version, then just extend, because here we're we get to pass in an object containing the name z.string.
Inside here, we actually have to pass a z.object. We have to wrap it in Zod. What this means is you can use this more generally to merge two different types together instead of just extending from them.
Those are different ways that you can compose objects together in Zod to reduce the amount of code duplication, make things more dry, and make things a bit more maintainable.

The men who shaped the Dales
The lives of farming families in the Yorkshire Dales are being chronicled for posterity in a project aimed at highlighting the link between the landscape and the farmers who manage it. Volunteers will interview, photograph and record farmers, then compare this information to that gathered over the past century, to create a comprehensive record of farming in 2016–17 for future generations.
The Voices from the Land—farming and Landscape in the Yorkshire Dales project has been launched by the Farmer Network thanks to money from the heritage Lottery Fund and a grant from the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, amounting to £27,500.
'The Dales landscape is intrinsically linked with farming,' comments the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority's Judith Donovan. 'For centuries, it has been fashioned by the people who live and work here. This fascinating project will enable everyone who has a love and interest in the land to understand changes to the landscape and how they came about.' Charlotte Cooper
The Yorkshire Dales and the farmers who work on them are the subject of a new project

A dog-leg is a sharp change in the orientation of a well bore due to shifting azimuth and/or inclination. Such shifts in a well orientation can make it difficult to run pipe and logging tools through an affected interval. Borehole images drawn from dog-leg sections are often degraded due to hole enlargement, tool marking of the wall and the effects of any stick and pull that may arise from the problem of threading a tool string around what is essentially a corner. Inspection of a well orientation survey will usually detail dog-leg severity, allowing its tie-in to image log quality.

bamboo flute. In the Zhou Dynasty, Chi was often played with Xun and in the Warring States Period, it was often used at ceremonies and feasts, together with chimes, chime stones, drums and panpipes. These two Chi were the first Chi we ever found.
Lacquered PanpipesHubei Provincial Museum
Panpipes were one of the main instruments that were used in court. Panpipes are consist of bamboo pipes of different length, therefor they are sometimes called "Cenci", meaning different length.
The two panpipes unearthed from the Zeng Hou Yi mausoleum are the earliest that have been discovered. When unearthed, one of them could make at least five scales that were still pleasant to the ear.
Color Lacquerd ShengHubei Provincial Museum
In the Zhou Dynasty, instruments were divided by the material they were made of: metal, stone, string, bamboo, calabash, clay, leather and wood. Among these eight categories, Sheng is a "calabash instrument". Six Sheng were unearthed from the Zeng Hou Yi mausoleum, each consist of a calabash chest and several arundo pipes.
Sound is made by the vibration of the reed pieces that are on the bottom of the pipes when air is blew into Sheng.
Lacquered Wooden Sika DeerHubei Provincial Museum
The deer is carved out of a whole piece of wood and is decorated with real antlers. The head is rotatable. It was put in the east tomb chamber with musical instruments such as Qin and Se and on its legs there is a vertical hole. Therefor it is inferred that the deer could have been a drum base and was used are a part of the instrument.
The deer is covered in black lacquer base and yellow seed-shaped patterns. Its eyes, mouth and nostrils are highlighted with red lacquer.
Lacquered Shield with Patterns of Dragons and PhoenixesHubei Provincial Museum
Shield was a kind of defensive weapon. In the Warring States Period, people made shields by putting numerous layers of lacquer on a leather base.
After the lacquer was properly dried, it became a nice, hard surface, upon which patterns are painted.
Lacquered Shield with Patterns of Dragons and Phoenixes - PartHubei Provincial Museum
Dragon and Phoenix are two animals that were often used in decorative patterns.
Chinese believed dragons are animals with holy power and phoenixes would bring peace and order to the world.
Model of an Armored WarriorHubei Provincial Museum
From the Zeng Hou Yi mausoleum, 13 suits of armor were discovered. This is a replica worn by a model of a warrior. The Jia used on his shoulders, elbows and trunk were made into different shapes and sewed with silk ribbon.

Recognizing Sexual Grooming
By Michael A. Patterson and Donald F. Austin
School districts that want to protect students from sexual misconduct by staff should consider ways to prevent "sexual grooming," a task that is difficult because such grooming often is only evident after the fact.
In most sexual misconduct cases, a form of "grooming" takes place. Preventing it can be very difficult, in part because sexual grooming can be quite subtle and similar to innocent behavior. In fact, many experts are not willing to label conduct as "sexual grooming" until intent has been established by actual molestation. However, the best way for school districts to prevent the grooming is by stopping inappropriate boundary invasions.
Even though this makes common sense, it's a fairly novel idea in both law and schools. Only one state -- Texas -- and a handful of school districts have specific board policies addressing boundary invasions.
Our recommendations for dealing with this issue are based on hundreds of litigated cases involving allegations of childhood sexual molestation and listening to testimony of victims and experts such as Timothy Kahn, a private clinician who specializes in sexual behavior and deviancy and is recognized as an expert in court cases relating to sexual predators. It also is based on the experiences of other sexual offender counselors who have listened to hundreds of offenders tell their stories.
State regulations on professional conduct, combined with board policies and practices, can accomplish the goal of stopping inappropriate boundary invasion behavior. Boundary invasion concepts are important to understand because of personnel situations, collective bargaining investigations, and instances in which board members and superintendents need general advice and guidance.

Title: The venture of self-fashioning in Mughal India
Author: Chakrabarti, Ishan
Abstract: Individuality – both as a philosophical category and a way of living – forms the focal point of a resonance between our times and the 17th-century. Impelled by this haunting resonance, and in an attempt to understand it, my paper examines the literary history of biographical writing in both Europe and South Asia, from 560 BCE to 1700 CE. What is it about the 17th century that is so specific? Why do only these biographies strike us as records of the lives of true individuals? And why do individuals first appear in 17th century South Asia? To adequately comprehend this nomadic literary genre, we must abstract ourselves from the geography and examine the thematic aspects of our texts. I suggest it is imperative to look at modes of life as they are formed over time, across Europe and South Asia. That is, we most focus on the philosophically-rich questions of the categories that structured lives. Pausing in the 17th century, I examine the Viaggi of Pietro Della Valle (an Italian traveler in Turkey, Iran and South Asia) and the Ardhakathānaka of Banārasīdāsa (the first Indian autobiography, comprising the records of a Jain merchant roaming South Asia). For just one generation, from _PHONE_, autobiographical writing becomes an ethical practice by which they reflect on and build individuality.

AbstractWe have analyzed the long-term temperature trends and extreme temperature events in Saudi Arabia between 1979 and 2019. Our study relies on the high resolution, consistent and complete ERA5 reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). We evaluated linear trends in several climate descriptors, including temperature, dewpoint temperature, thermal comfort and extreme event indices. Previous works on this topic used data from weather station observations over limited time intervals and did not include temperature data for recent years. The years 2010-2019 have been the warmest decade ever observed by instrumental temperature monitoring and comprise the eight warmest years on record. Therefore the earlier results may be incomplete and their results no longer relevant. Our findings indicate that over the past four decades, Saudi Arabia has warmed up at a rate that is 50% higher than the rest of land mass in the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, moisture content of the air has significantly increased in the region. The increases of temperature and humidity have resulted in the soaring of dew point temperature and thermal discomfort across the country. These increases are more substantial during summers, which are already very hot compared to winters. Such changes may be dangerous to people over vast areas of the country. If the current trend persists into the future, human survival in the region will be impossible without continuous access to air conditioning.

Colorado will officially celebrate Public Lands
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill this month that establishes a new state holiday to commemorate Colorado's federal, state, and local public lands.
Starting in 2017, the third Saturday in May will be Colorado Public Lands Day.
Colorado has 24 million acres of national public lands, comprised of national parks, wildlife refuges, national forests, and Bureau of Land Management-administered public land. The outdoor recreation industry generates more than $13 billion in economic activity a year and supports 125,000 jobs in the state.
To celebrate the new bill that is vital to Colorado's way of life and businesses, the statewide nonprofit organization Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) encourages everyone to partake in one of its many volunteer opportunities throughout the state to help keep Colorado's public lands healthy and thriving. VOC offers opportunities for all ages, skills, and interests. Activities range from planting trees and gardens, to removing invasive plants and revegetating fire-scarred land, to building trails and restoring wildlife habitat.
"Public lands mean we, the public, have a responsibility to protect and preserve these lands," said Baker Easley. Bipartisan support for Public Lands Day – especially at a time when politics often cause much division and strife – is a superb indication of the passion Coloradans have for outdoor recreation on public lands, as part of a fit and fulfilling lifestyle."
Those interested in giving back to Colorado's public places can explore and register for more than 50 volunteer opportunities via VOC's volunteer calendar at _URL_. Places to volunteer include Urad Lake, which is Colorado's newest State Wildlife Area, Rocky Mountain National Park, the Continental Divide, and more.

Legislature should be disciplined on tax breaks: Agenda 2013 (Address Oregon's tax structure)
The Oregonian Editorial Board By The Oregonian Editorial Board The Oregonian

The 2013 Oregon Legislature convened this week intent on looking under every rock in search of money to fund schools and other public services. The most tempting rocks in the legislative quarry are the ones labeled tax exemption.
Exposing tax exemptions to the light of public debate is a good exercise. As recent experience with tax credits shows, closely examining tax breaks on a regular basis helps ensure that taxpayer money is directed where it can do the most good. And, if nothing else, winnowing exemptions could help simplify the state's tax system.
Agenda 2013
Address Oregon's tax structure
Grow jobs and income
Improve educational funding and function
Build the bridge
Protect and expand personal freedom
Read more about the editorial board's priorities for Oregon.
But don't expect the Legislature to find buried treasure. Compared with proposed reforms to the Public Employees Retirement System, potential savings from scaling back tax exemptions are small. For example, the elderly medical deduction -- a possible target -- has a two-year budget impact of only $187 million.
Tax breaks come in different forms. Tax exemptions or deductions (home mortgage interest, for example) reduce the amount of income that is taxed. Tax credits (such as for child and dependent care) directly reduce the tax paid.
The Legislature already has a process for reviewing tax credits. Most of the state's tax credits sunset on a rolling basis every six years, effectively forcing review and debate before they can be renewed. The approach, the product of a bill passed in 2009, has earned praise, and some in both parties would like to see it extended to tax exemptions.
A required regular review of tax exemptions, whether through sunsets or another method, would be a positive step. It would increase transparency and promote accountability to ensure that tax measures accomplish their intended purpose without unintended consequences. But, the Legislature also should take an immediate look at tax exemptions using these guidelines:
Changes should be consistent with the state's goals. For example, some have pointed to deductions for contributions to the Oregon 529 college savings plan as a tax break that disproportionately benefits upper-income taxpayers. But given decreased state funding of universities and increased tuition payments facing students, it would be counterproductive to eliminate a tax break that makes college more affordable.
In total, adjustments to the tax code should make filing state tax returns simpler
for Oregonians. Rep. Vicki Berger, R-Salem, vice-chair of the House Revenue Committee, says she is reluctant to make changes that separate Oregon from the federal tax code because it adds complexity. She's right. It's better to focus on exemptions unique to Oregon.
Changes should promote, not hinder, economic growth.
The home mortgage interest deduction is the elephant of tax exemptions. But scaling it back -- few would propose eliminating it -- with the housing market still in recovery would be foolhardy.
Eliminating or adjusting a tax break should save enough money to make a difference.
All exemptions should become subject to periodic review, but the immediate emphasis should be on those that could produce savings to be used on priority programs in the next biennium.
It's also important that legislators not oversell what can be accomplished through reducing tax exemptions. A rigorous review should produce savings but not enough to single-handedly shore up schools or improve mental health care.
"People want a magic bullet that's going to solve the problem," Berger said. "There isn't one."
Meanwhile, meaningful long-term benefits can best be realized through comprehensive tax reform. At best, scaling back tax exemptions is a small down payment on that important task.

- Cynodon dactylon, diurnal variation, growing season, hydraulic conductivity, rhizosphere, root water potential, seasonal variation, soil water, soil water content, soil water movement, water content, water uptake
- Diurnal water movement within a bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] root zone and the uptake of water by the roots was studied in a field plot. A fast response tensiometer-pressure-transducer system was used to measure the hydraulic heads. The relations of pressure head to water content and to hydraulic conductivity were determined in situ. Diurnal water content and soil water flux profiles were derived by using the established hydraulic properties. The fast response tensiometer system enabled calculation of flux and water content changes over 2-hour intervals. Diurnal water extraction rates calculated for different depths and times during the growing season yielded evapotranspiration rates that agreed well with rates measured on similar days in previous years using a lysimeter.


Radial-moment analysis for muonic x-rays

Abstract
The crucial question to be answered in studying the radial shapes of spherical nuclei is: Ã©xactly what parameter of the nuclear charge distribution is determined by each transition energy in muonic atoms? The measurement of the 2p , ->-ls. . energy for a particular muonic atom determines, of course, only a single parameter of the nuclear charge distribution. Since the earliest days of analyzing muonic x-ray energies, workers have recognized that different transitions determine different parameters, so that, in principle, energy measurements for a number of different transitions in a given atom might provide information about the radial shape of the nuclear charge density. T ^Y radial shape, we mean simply the form of the charge density p(r) "] . However, it has not been clear exactly what nuclear parameter is determined by a particular transition, except in the low-Z limit, where non-relativistic perturbation theory shows that level shifts are proportional to even moments of the charge density. In this limit, for instance, the 2p->-ls transitions measure the mean square radius . One occasionally hears or reads that the same is true for heavy atoms. This is not then case. Even for Z as low as 6, the 2p-^ls transitions do not determine exactly the mean square radius.

Observations during the last days of Sputnik I's orbiting are presented. These observations were made at The Ohio State University Radio Observatory using a simple CW reflection technique. The data suggest that the breakup of an artificial satellite upon its reentry into the denser atmosphere is a complex phenomenon in which a sequential series of events may occur over a period of days. Graphs of the average height of the satellite and its associated fragments as a function of time are presented, and some conclusions are drawn as to the details of the actual breakup phenomenon.

Pinus brutia Ten., Pinus halepensis Mill., Pinus nigra Arnold, Pinus pinea L. and Pinus sylvestris L. forests cover approximately 10.91 million hectares area in Turkey. Since there are a lot of settlements inside or near these wide Pinus forest lands, the usages of Pinus species are very common among local people. Within this paper, 130 ethnobotanical and traditional medicinal studies published up to 2011 which were dealed different areas of Turkey are examined and the usages of Pinus species are compiled from 54 of them. It has 269 records that are to be proof of the wide range of ethnobotanical usages of pines. Due P. halepensis has a narrow distribution, the records about ethnobotanical usage of it does not exist in the investigated literature.

The Marshall Goldsmith Group offers experienced coaches who work one on one with successful leaders to help them get even better – by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams.
All our coaches have extensive experience working with senior-level executives.
WHAT WE DO
The Marshall Goldsmith Group coaches help successful leaders get even better—by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people, and their teams.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We work with leaders who meet the following criteria:
- They have achieved success.
- They want to focus on development of leadership behaviors (not strategy, financial acumen or other non-behavioral skills).
- They want to work with a coach to become even more effective.
HOW WE DO IT
All of our coaches utilize Marshall's unique and practical methodology. Characteristics of the process include:
- Measurable outcomes regarding changes in the leader's behavior as determined by stakeholders at the end
of the coaching engagement.
- Confidentiality, confidence and a positive outlook.
- A straightforward approach that does not require significant amounts of time. (If it did, busy leaders would not do it.)
- A focus on changing leadership behaviors and perceptions of behavior.
- Consistent delivery by experienced coaches who understand how to relate to senior executives.
- Comprehensive assessment of behaviors from key stakeholders.
- Ownership and guidance of the areas of focus for improvement by the leader being coached.
The articles below summarize Marshall's executive coaching approach:
- It's Not About the Coach
- The Success Delusion
- Coaching for Behavioral Change
- Leadership Is a Contact Sport
- Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback

...The usual justification for trying to make all professors researchers is the argument that teaching and research are inextricably linked, to an extent that the first cannot be done well in the absence of the second. This argument is a strange one. Its proponents - usually academicians, trained in scientific method and the rules of logical inference - offer it with unbounded conviction, passion, and a total absence of evidence. They argue that only researchers are aware of recent developments in their field, so that courses taught by nonresearchers must be irrelevant or obsolete. They add that nonresearchers whom students rate as good teachers must be merely "entertainers," providing style without substance. When challenged to produce some evidence for the linkage between research and teaching, they name professors they know who have both admirable research records and teaching awards, which is like claiming that you can only be a world-class organist if you practice medicine in Africa and pointing to Albert Schweitzer to prove it.
In this essay I want to take a closer look at the purported linkage between teaching and academic research, to see how it stands up to the tests of common sense and educational research. I will argue that it stands up to neither....

Team Recreates Ancient Greek Kithara
Will demonstrate musical instrument, tell story of its building at Friday event
- By Jeffrey R. Wakefield
How do you create a three-dimensional design for an ancient Greek musical instrument when all you have to go on are flat two-dimensional images on vases and coins and a few timeworn statues?
That's the assignment Classics professor John Franklin and student Tanner Lake gave themselves in 2009 when they decided to recreate an ancient Greek instrument called a kithara, a seven-stringed version of the lyre used by professional musicians in public concerts, choral performances and competitions beginning in the seventh century B.C.
"We looked at any medium we could find to get the measurements and all the angles," Franklin said. Franklin and Lake also consulted ancient texts that described some elements of kithara construction.
Lake, a classics major who graduated in 2010, designed the instrument under Franklin's supervision.
The task of building the kithara fell to luthier John Butterfield of Butterfield Lutes in Seattle, who introduced his own design ideas when technical challenges presented themselves.
All three will be on hand on Friday, Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. in John Dewey Lounge to talk about the project and show off the product of their collaboration.
Franklin will demonstrate the kithara and will use it to accompany several ancient Greek songs performed by the Halcyonids, the Classics Department singing group.
Lyres as an instrument family gradually morphed into lutes of various types. The word "guitar" is descended directly from "kithára," even though the shape and stringing changed radically.

The Cuban kite (Chondrohierax wilsonii), is a species of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. It is endemic to Cuba.
This species is classified as critically endangered by BirdLife International. The current population is estimated 50 to 249 mature birds. After a last confirmed sighting in 2001 and an unconfirmed sighting in 2004 Cuban ornithologist Nils Navarro Pacheco took a photograph of one individual in 2009.
The Clements Checklist and the AOU consider it as subspecies of the hook-billed kite. A molecular phylogenetics analysis using mitochondrial DNA suggests that it warrants species status having diverged from the mainland lineage approximately 400,000 to 1.5 million years ago.

Willow warbler migration
Most of our willow warblers will have left by now; they will be on their way to sub-Saharan Africa where they will spend their winter. Theirs is the longest journey undertaken by any of the park's migratory birds. Why do such tiny birds fly so far and take such risks to do it?
Willow warblers are insectivores and during our British winters most insects spend the winter in hibernation, either underground or hidden away from the cold, in some inactive phase of their life cycle. Willow warblers migrate to avoid starvation.
They will arrive in west Africa as the monsoon rains end in October. The violent monsoon storms will be over, the climate will be warm and wet and there will be more than enough insects to go round. Recent research has shown that European warblers of all kinds favour the coastal mangrove swamps of the Gulf of Guinea and spend our winter months there.
Why do willow warblers come all the way back to Britain in the spring to breed? Firstly, our insect populations wake up from their hibernation, sometimes with an explosion of larvae numbers; then our warm wet summers supply ample insect food, and the long summer days, when the sun sets much later than it would in west Africa, provide extra daylight hours in which to feed growing chicks.
The longest recorded lifespan of a willow warbler is almost eleven years but a typical lifespan is rarely more than two breeding seasons. While their migration might have maximised the chances of this year's nestlings surviving to adulthood, it is obviously a costly strategy for the parental generation.
Britain's invertebrate numbers are plummeting though; because we don't know why, we are unable to either prevent it from happening or reverse it. This will trigger behaviour changes in migratory insectivorous birds that come to the park to breed. If we can't or won't change the things that are costing us our invertebrate species, there will come a time when the willow warblers won't return from west Africa.

Dynamic DNA nanotechnology often uses toehold-mediated strand displacement for controlling reaction kinetics. Although the dependence of strand displacement kinetics on toehold length has been experimentally characterized and phenomenologically modeled, detailed biophysical understanding has remained elusive. Here, we study strand displacement at multiple levels of detail, using an intuitive model of a random walk on a 1D energy landscape, a secondary structure kinetics model with single base-pair steps and a coarse-grained molecular model that incorporates 3D geometric and steric effects. Further, we experimentally investigate the thermodynamics of three-way branch migration. Two factors explain the dependence of strand displacement kinetics on toehold length: (i) the physical process by which a single step of branch migration occurs is significantly slower than the fraying of a single base pair and (ii) initiating branch migration incurs a thermodynamic penalty, not captured by state-of-the-art nearest neighbor models of DNA, due to the additional overhang it engenders at the junction. Our findings are consistent with previously measured or inferred rates for hybridization, fraying and branch migration, and they provide a biophysical explanation of strand displacement kinetics. Our work paves the way for accurate modeling of strand displacement cascades, which would facilitate the simulation and construction of more complex molecular systems.

You can use datetime.replace to obtain a new datetime object without the seconds and microseconds:
the_time = datetime.now()
the_time = the_time.replace(second=0, microsecond=0)

or the_time= datetime.now().replace(second=0, microsecond=0) – tzot Aug 4 '10 at 11:05

I know it's quite old question, but I haven't found around any really complete answer so far.
There's no need to create a datetime object first and subsequently manipulate it.
dt = datetime.now().replace(second=0, microsecond=0)
will return the desired object

Path Reconstruction in Dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks Using Compressive Sensing
Path Reconstruction in Dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks Using Compressive Sensing
CSPR, a compressive-sensing based approach is proposed for path reconstruction in wireless sensor networks. By viewing the whole network as a path representation space, an arbitrary routing path can be represented by a path vector in the space. As path length is usually much smaller than the network size, such path vectors are sparse, i.e., the majority of elements are zeros. By encoding sparse path representation into packets, the path vector can be recovered from a small amount of packets using compressive sensing technique. CSPR formalizes the sparse path representation and enables accurate and efficient per-packet path reconstruction. CSPR is invulnerable to network dynamics and lossy links due to its distinct design. A set of optimization techniques is further proposed to improve the design.

Proyecto Mirador LLC, a non-profit that has built more than 25,000 fuel-efficient cookstoves in the rural highlands of Honduras, today announced the sale of its second and third year Gold Standard Verified Emission Reduction (VER) credits to climate and development specialist ClimateCare, Europe's leading voluntary carbon finance organization, as well as the implementation of an electronic system for monitoring stove locations and use by households.
"The widespread adoption of energy efficient cookstoves in developing countries is vital to achieving significant emissions reductions while enhancing the quality of life and socio-economic prospects of the world's least developed communities," comments Edward Hanrahan, Director, ClimateCare.
"We have always been committed to ensuring the success of excellent community-based projects of this kind—from our pioneering work in developing the original Gold Standard Methodology, which acts as a blueprint for project developers to follow, to delivering ongoing revenue streams that provide the financial stability needed for projects to grow and thrive. We are delighted that we can help support Proyecto Mirador, and hope that its success catalyses the growth of further large scale projects in this important area of climate and development," he concluded.
Proyecto Mirador directors Doña Emilia Mendoza and Richard Lawrence said, "With this agreement covering the sale of more than 100,000 credits, we have again met our objective of using carbon finance to create a market based solution for the construction of stoves in rural Honduras. Also, the rollout of our sophisticated system for monitoring the use, maintenance and location of each of our Dos por Tres stoves provides the highest standard of proof that the project has extraordinary execution in the field."
The Proyecto Mirador cookstoves project has already doubled its credit issuance since 2011, with the quantity of credits issued expected to rise incrementally as the project continues to expand and increase its impact.
Each household stove installation is recorded and GPS mapped by the new monitoring system developed by Tact L3C, a Salesforce.com Partner and tech startup that provides business and technology consulting services for the impact sector. The Proyecto Mirador system is built on the salesforce.com platform. Stevan Simich, CEO and Founder of Tact L3C, said, "Salesforce.com is scalable, globally accessible, mobile and has multi language capabilities ideal for impact organizations. Users have access to the system online and offline, and data is accessible and available for flexible reporting."
GPS Maps are generated by DigitalGlobe via its Global BaseMap solution that works with Proyecto Mirador equipment and the salesforce.com platform to track installations using interactive, high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery that covers the entire project area. DigitalGlobe's integrated system is available all over the world, provides the most accurate and relevant imagery available, and allows the project to successfully evolve and expand.
Maps, installation, and household data are available from the office or the field enabling project management to easily track installations and locate households for followup supervisory visits.
The implementation of the system has required the transfer of the technology of handheld smartphones and computerized recordkeeping to Hondurans who have previously only known paper records and hand-generated solutions for deploying field workers and monitoring installations.
The introduction of this electronic monitoring system is the latest in the innovative Proyecto Mirador model for the dissemination of fuel-efficient cookstoves. In addition to generating carbon emission reductions, the model includes the Dos por Tres stove that requires no cash, but rather "co-investment" in materials from poor beneficiaries; a franchise-like system for stove construction that helps local entrepreneurs to thrive; and locally sourced and constructed stoves that last five years or more.


Persuasion Architecture
Persuadability is the capacity that an online presence has for causing a user to take action and become a subscriber, lead or customer.
The Spanish acronym "persuabilidad" is made up of the terms "usabilidad" (usability) and persuasion. Usability is the discipline which facilitates user access to the content of a website and persuasion is the process through which people can be guided to adopt an idea, attitude or action through rational arguments and emotional factors.
Key elements
7 key elements have been defined for assessing a website's level of persuadability:
 1. Positioning: how a website is positioned and differentiates itself from the competition.
 2. Credibility and reliability: what elements a website uses to generate the necessary level of trust in the user so that he believes what it is telling him.
 3. The architecture of persuasion: how, through a website's architecture, each page attempts to achieve an objective.
 4. Content and functions: what elements users need to convince themselves that a specific product or service is the one they need.
 5. Copy: how to draft a website text so that each word manages to persuade.
 6. Calls to action: if each page has an objective, the call to action is the key which should lead to it.
 7. Sensation of urgency: how certain marketing techniques are applied to lead to action at that point.
Measurement and persuadability
Persuadability focuses on results: increasing rates of conversion.
Conversion rates indicate the percentage of users who enter the website and finish the process it proposes: whether this is purchasing a product, making a donation, filling in a registration form, etc. As a result, measurement tools are the key to measuring the success of persuadability.
Measurement tools like Google Analytics or Google Website Optimizer – to perform multi-variable tests – help us to learn more about how the users behave on websites. Thanks to these tools, we can glean very useful information on the users of a website: where they come from, what key words they use to reach the site, what links interest them most or where they leave the site.
This data is analyzed to identify the problem and find a solution with one clear objective: increasing conversion rates.

The 2031 Regional Plan (originally named the 2025 Regional Plan) took effect in 2009. For many years prior to this CAFNEC had been advocating for a regional approach to planning that could deliver a sensible and sustainable long term development framework for the region. In 2006 CAFNEC was successful and the QLD State government began developing a statutory regional plan which would guide and direct new development in the region up until the year 2031.
CAFNEC's key goals in this project were to:
- Create a well researched blueprint for a sustainable future for Far North Queensland
- Develop mechanisms for the integration of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) into all levels of the FNQ Regional Plan, its implementation, enforcement and review.

Shuffling an array
Hello
I have looked at the following Task but did not succeed in shuffling an array.
I have the following bundles (with questions) and in the bundle arrays (with answers)
I would like to shuffle both the questions and the answers.
After the array aggregator I have a webhoock response. I think I need to introduce one (or 2) modules in between to do the shuffling. Do I have to convert the bundles into an array? And if yes how ?
Thanks for your help
Rob
If I understand correctly, your Parse JSON module gives you the array of collections shown in your text window. Each element in that array is a collection consisting of "text" (the question) and "answers" (an array of multiple choice answers).
You're not just trying to pick array element at random - that might result in the same element being picked again. You need to produce an entirely new array that has been shuffled. You need to shuffle both the top level array, and within each of those top levels, you need to shuffle the answers.
Make includes a handy "shuffle" function in the array functions. Shuffle() returns a new, shuffled array.
So I would use the Iterator to turn your top-level array into bundles. For each of these bundles you would then construct a new data structure of the "text" and a shuffled array for the answers. You'd then use the Aggregator to turn all those back into a top-level array, and then you'd shuffle that.
The downside is that this could use a lot of operations. If you had say 3 operations, you'll use 3 x Q x A operations (where Q = number of questions and A = number of answers).
If this is likely to be high volume, you'd be better off doing the array shuffling externally - for example as a Google Cloud Function (see an example here: Using JavaScript with Integromat | by John Thomson | Medium) or as an Amazon Lambda function (see _URL_

thanks - good point with the operationscost - i will have a look at the external solution first
could I add a Key "order" to the array and assigne it a random number (5 digits or even 10) and then Order the array by the key order? or does this also costs a lot?
The sort() function could help (see _URL_
But you'll still need to insert that key into the answers arrays and the top-level items, which means iterating (which means operations).
You'll also still need to iterate through the top-level items and reconstruct them with a sorted "answers" array.
So I'm not sure it helps.

Thanks - Maybe I can use the UUID - convert to int with md5 and a Variable called salt
SORT(md5(concat(UUID,SALT))
Salt is created randomly (or send per url) - this would also have the advantage if i send the same SALT I have the SAME result in the order .
What do you think? Will that work in one Sort command?


Wind Noise / Buffeting
Download PDF
At various speeds, as a window is lowered, passengers could experience a feeling of dizziness or disorientation associated with a "pulsing" sensation of the air inside the vehicle.
This issue, known as buffeting, can occur during both high and low speeds, and is often associated with a change in air pressure inside the vehicles cabin.
There are multiple causes associated with this effect, but it is mainly attributed to the precision streamlining of modern vehicle designs. Many vehicles are designed in conjunction with air flow tests performed under laboratory conditions, inside of a "wind tunnel", which tests the effects of physical vehicle-body design, against airflow and aerodynamics, as it travels at different speeds.
The "buffeting" effect is caused by a sudden change in the aerodynamics of the vehicle, caused by the lowering of a window, which changes how the air is flowing over the surface of the vehicle. The effect can be corrected by raising or closing the offending window to correct the airflow. This effect can also be attributed, to a lesser degree, to the rapid exchange of hotter air inside the vehicle cabin, with the colder outside air, creating a vacuum effect.

Enemies of Science: The Handmaiden's Handmaiden in the Early Medieval West
Honchock, Michael P.
MetadataShow full item record
The gradual blending of classical science and epistemology with indigenous/traditional practices and modes of understanding (particularly magic and religion) in the early western Middle Ages tends to be misunderstood. The purpose of this study is to address the reason(s) why the early medieval West has been labeled an irrational, unscientific â Dark Ageâ in order to point out that this conceptionâ s existence has more to do with limited historical perspectives than with reality. The anachronistic superimposition of modern presuppositions and methodological expectations is a very old phenomenon. Ironically, however, it has crept into the history of science and extended to ostensibly objective â scientificâ historiography to such a degree that dismissiveness regarding the other ways of knowing that have informed our scientific and epistemological development frequently tends to obscure historical continuity. My goal in this undertaking is to firmly establish how we may understand that the intellectual revolution beginning in twelfth-century Europe was founded on a rich and multifarious tradition of knowledge and understanding; the preceding seven or eight centuries of the early Middle Ages was not one of intellectual â darknessâ and should not be discarded as such. The approach I have taken is intended to demonstrate, rather than simply state, this goal by roughly imitating of the process of intellectual transmission in the early Middle Ages. Therefore, primary sources are supplemented by numerous secondary interpretations from various academic disciplines in the hope that collecting and reforming ideas in this fashion will draw out the inherent connectivity of ideological thought structures and approaches to the natural world.

Make your own GeoIP API
By Enzo Calamia
Introduction
This article shows you how to maintain your own GeoIP database and to implement an API around it.
The Data
The data is publicly and freely available. It is provided by the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
Each RIR regularly updates a big file containing the information we need. These files comply with the RIR statistics exchange format, which is parsable (with some tweaks) as a CSV with the pipe (|) as the separator.
For each RIR, here are the files: (beware, they are a bit heavy)
We are interested in entries like this one (from the RIPE NCC file):
ripencc|FR|ipv4|2.0.0.0|_PHONE_|20100712|allocated|...
This line tells us that the IPv4 block 2.0.0.0/12 is assigned to France (FR). We know it is a /12 because the fifth column tells us how many IP addresses are in the block (_PHONE_). The following formula gives you the CIDR mask: -log2(_PHONE_) + 32 = 12.
(IPv6 entries give the CIDR mask directly because of the astronomical numbers of IPv6 addresses you can have in one "little" block, e.g., 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 for a /64.)
However, the number of addresses is useful here because we are only interested in the lowest IP address and the highest IP address. That is, we have:
 - Lowest: 2.0.0.0
 - Highest: 2.0.0.0 + _PHONE_ - 1 = 2.15.255.255
(Remember: IPv4 addresses are just signed 32-bit integers.)
So, we now know that any requested address within the range 2.0.0.0-2.15.255.255 is located in France.
We can build a list containing the lowest and the highest address for each block. The standard ipaddress module is pretty handy for adding IP address and integers together.
Here is a simple parser in Python:
import csv
import ipaddress
import math
def size_to_cidr_mask(c):
 """ c = 2^(32-m), m being the CIDR mask """
 return int(-math.log2(c) + 32)
def parse_rir_file(filename):
 with open(filename) as f:
 rows = csv.reader(f, delimiter='|')
 for r in rows:
 try:
 rir, country_code, ip_version, ip, mask, *_ = r
 except ValueError:
 continue
 if ip == '*':
 continue
 if ip_version == 'ipv4':
 length = int(mask)
 addr = ipaddress.ip_address(ip)
 yield {
 'ip_low': addr,
 'ip_high': addr + length - 1,
 'rir': rir,
 'country': country_code,
 'range': ip+'/'+str(size_to_cidr_mask(length)),
 }
The function parse_rir_file returns an iterator for one RIR file ingested. We can merge all of them to have only one sequence containing the blocks for the entire World:
import itertools as it
data = list(it.chain(
 parse_rir_file('delegated-ripencc-extended-latest'),
 parse_rir_file('delegated-arin-extended-latest'),
 parse_rir_file('delegated-apnic-extended-latest'),
 parse_rir_file('delegated-afrinic-extended-latest'),
 parse_rir_file('delegated-lacnic-extended-latest')
))
This may take a while depending on your hardware... (It takes several seconds on my laptop with an SSD) If you are curious, you can now count how many IPv4 blocks are in use ;)
Lookup
We have built our data, and now we have to sort it. We also need to build an index list on the ip_lows (keys), so we can perform a lookup on it and then retrieve the entire entry from data.
data.sort(key=lambda r: r['ip_low'])
keys = [r['ip_low'] for r in data]
A naive approach consists in simply comparing each low and high against the requested IP address until low <= ip <= high. However, our list is pretty huge! The worst case is when a non-assigned IP address is requested: we would walk through the entire list for nothing.
def naive_lookup(keys, target):
 last_v = None
 for k,v in enumerate(keys):
 if last_v is None:
 last_v = v
 if last_v <= target < v:
 return k
 last_v = v
 return None
We are not looking for a specific entry, but for a range in which the requested address fits. For this kind of work, a bisection method suits our needs. Python provides the bisect module for this.
def lookup(ip):
 ip = ipaddress.ip_address(ip)
 if not ip.is_global or ip.is_multicast: # Check bogon
 return None
 i = bisect.bisect_right(keys, ip)
 entry = data[i-1]
 assert(entry['ip_low'] <= ip <= entry['ip_high'])
return entry
That is, for the requested IP address, the operation bisect_right(keys, ip) traverses the list efficiently to see where the address fits. However, we must ensure the address belongs to a block, hence the assert.
API
Last step: make an API and host it. Here is a simple one using the microframework Bottle. The rir module contains the functions we have defined above.
from bottle import Bottle, route, response
import ipaddress
import rir
app = Bottle()
def valid_ip(ip):
 try:
 ipaddress.ip_address(ip)
 return True
 except ValueError:
 return False
@app.route('/<ip>')
def lookup_ip(ip):
 if not valid_ip(ip):
 response.status = 400
 return {'error': 'Not a valid IPv4: %s' % ip}
 entry = rir.lookup(ip)
 if entry is None:
 return {
 'ip': ip,
 'bogon': True,
 }
 return {
 'ip': ip,
 'ip_low': str(entry['ip_low']),
 'ip_high': str(entry['ip_high']),
 'rir': entry['rir'],
 'country': entry['country'],
 'range': entry['range'],
 }
Example:
curl -s localhost:8080/83.167.62.189 | jq
{
"ip_low": "83.167.32.0",
"range": "83.167.32.0/19",
"rir": "ripencc",
"country": "FR",
"ip": "83.167.62.189",
"ip_high": "83.167.63.255"
}

Florida visible satellite imagery shows a line of strong to severe thunderstorms across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and Florida. This line will travel eastward throughout the day as a cold front moves in from the northwest. Due to the early morning sun angle a cloud shadow (higher cloud shadow on lower cloud) can be seen just to the left of the line of storms over the Gulf of Mexico.

We tackle the problem of graph out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. Existing graph OOD algorithms either rely on restricted assumptions or fail to exploit environment information in training data. In this work, we propose to simultaneously incorporate label and environment causal independence (LECI) to fully make use of label and environment information, thereby addressing the challenges faced by prior methods on identifying causal and invariant subgraphs. We further develop an adversarial training strategy to jointly optimize these two properties for casual subgraph discovery with theoretical guarantees. Extensive experiments and analysis show that LECI significantly outperforms prior methods on both synthetic and real-world datasets, establishing LECI as a practical and effective solution for graph OOD generalization.


Network Configuration Manager

A network administrator was asked to investigate a week–old issue of high latency between the New York branch and the primary data center at San Francisco. Here's how OpManager together with the NCM Plug–in helped.
Step 1: The administrator first referred to the bandwidth utilization charts between these two branches and found that all is well.
Step 2: To make sure the issue is not at the ISP's grid and to identify where the problem originated, the administrator referred to the hop graph provided by the WAN RTT monitor that leverages Cisco IP SLA.
Step 3: The hop graph showed high latency at the San Francisco gateway router. Referring to the router's resources, the administrator identified increase in memory utilization of the gateway router.
Step 4: The administrator switches to the NCM dashboard of OpManager to check on the recent configuration changes on the problem router. He discovered that the router's cache memory change was pushed to the router erroneously.
Step 5: A side by side comparison of past configuration changes and their effects on router resources helped the administrator corner the faulty configuration update that was causing delayed routing.
Reverting configuration setting in a single click from the NCM dashboard helped the administrator resolve this issue quickly.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy: a mental health promotion/intervention modality for children who have experienced intra-family violence
Source: Health & Social Care in the Community, Volume 15, Number 3, May 2007, pp. 265-271(7)
Abstract:Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is a specialized form of psychotherapy using the horse as a therapeutic tool. This modality is designed to address self-esteem and personal confidence, communication and interpersonal effectiveness, trust, boundaries and limit-setting, and group cohesion. Substantial numbers of children witness family violence. There is evidence that violence between parents has adverse effects on the children in the family. These children are at greater risk of behavioural problems and mental health disorders, including anxiety, anger, depression and suicidal ideations, withdrawal, low self-esteem, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The purpose of the present pilot study was to test the efficacy of EAP in a cross-sectional group of children referred to a psychotherapist for various childhood behavioural and mental health issues over an 18-month period (June 2003-January 2005). Sixty-three children received a mean number of 19 EAP sessions. Scores on the Children's Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale were determined preand post-treatment. The mean (± standard deviation, SD) pretreatment score was 54.1 (SD 3.2) and post treatment mean score was 61.7 ± 5.0 (t = 9.06, d.f. = 96, P < 0.001). All children showed improvement in GAF scores, and there was a statistically significant correlation between the percentage improvement in the GAF scores and the number of sessions given (r = 0.73, P = 0.001). Univariate analysis showed that the greatest improvement in the GAF scores occurred in the youngest of the subjects. Children in the group who had a history of physical abuse and neglect had a statistically significant greater percentage improvement in GAF scores after treatment than those who did not have a history of abuse and neglect. This study has demonstrated a quick response to EAP, especially in younger children, but it remains to be determined what kind of long-term effects this type of intervention may provide.

The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, an impressive feature in Coventry's regenerated city centre was designed by architecs Pringle Richards Sharratt is a beautifully crafted new extension, and imaginative re-use of an existing building that located in Coventry, United Kingdom. The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum project consists of two main elements which create accommodations including new temporary and permanent exhibition galleries spaces, history centre reading room, a new archive for the city and other significant collections, arcade orientation space with a timber gridshell roof, a café, shop and tourist information centre. The project also consisted of a conversion of the existing building to provide galleries for the city's art and natural history collections, museum stores, conservation studios, loading bay, further education spaces and administration offices.
The primary constraints were the relationship between the new building and the new University Square, the setting of the Grade 1 listed Cathedral the existing Herbert building and the Mediaeval vault within the site. The form of the building responds to both the Medieval context of the area and the post-war reconstruction of the city, with a new space that draws the public from the new square into the museum. The former back of the building is now a new front facing the Cathedral, with an arcade connecting it to the old main entrance. A new glazed public arcade extends the public realm through the building, forming a nucleus for the whole complex, flanked by two levels of galleries on one side and the single storey History Centre on the other.
The highest standards of sustainable design were sought. Old plant was replaced with modern, energy efficient systems. Natural ventilation and timber from sustainable resources have been used as far as possible. (The need for strict temperature and humidity controls, as well as a four-hour fire resistant structure, for the archives, placed some restrictions on choices.) New trees and a Peace Garden have replaced a former car park. The landscape outside is equally important and the new Peace Garden commemorates the bombing of Coventry during the war and marks the outline of the former houses that occupied the site, with Corten walls engraved with the names of their occupants between the 1400s and 1940. The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum is one of Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award Finalist 2009.

Soft Engineering for Coastal Defence
Soft engineering is sometimes described as 'working with nature' to protect the coastline. Unlike hard engineering with walls, groynes and 'built' defences, soft engineering consists of rejuvinating sand dunes, creating new dunes, replacing beach material lost through erosion, and re-shaping beaches to improve their durability. It also includes 'doing nothing' to protect the coastline.
These options cost less than hard engineering, have less impact on the environment, and are often more sustainable over time. They are also often less obtrusive and leave the coast looking more 'natural'.
Key forms of Soft Engineering covered in the GCSE are…

COAL TRANSPORTATION: BELT CONVEYORS, COMBINED RAIL-BARGE, AND SLURRY PIPELINES
The capacity of the nation's transport system to move increasingly large tonnages of coal from mines to markets is a major energy problem. Coal accounts for more ton-miles of freight on the railroads and the waterways than does any other commodity. This work deals with belt conveyors, rail-barge combinations, and slurry pipelines as innovative additions to transport systems. In the past, both production and consumption have taken place within the same geographic regions. As late as 1969, the average length of coal hauls was only 225 miles. With the opening of the western mines along with increased emphasis on having new power plants designed to use coal, the market is becoming national in scope. Average hauls are much greater, with some being as long as 1200 miles. Each of the modes is considered, including its level of energy efficiency, its advantages and constraints, and how it can contribute to the overall capacity to transport this vital source of energy.

Definitions for magnetic circuit
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word magnetic circuit
Wiktionary
 1. magnetic circuit(Noun)
 A closed path of magnetic flux
Freebase
 1. Magnetic circuit
 A magnetic circuit is made up of one or more closed loop paths containing a magnetic flux. The flux is usually generated by permanent magnets or electromagnets and confined to the path by magnetic cores consisting of ferromagnetic materials like iron, although there may be air gaps or other materials in the path. Magnetic circuits are employed to efficiently channel magnetic fields in many devices such as electric motors, generators, transformers, relays, lifting electromagnets, SQUIDs, galvanometers, and magnetic recording heads. The concept of a "magnetic circuit" exploits a one-to-one correspondence between the equations of the magnetic field in an unsaturated ferromagnetic material to that of an electrical circuit. Using this concept the magnetic fields of complex devices such as transformers can be quickly solved using the methods and techniques developed for electrical circuits. Some examples of magnetic circuits are: ⁕horseshoe magnet with iron keeper ⁕horseshoe magnet with no keeper ⁕electric motor
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
 1. Magnetic Circuit
 A magnetic field of force is characterized by the presence of lines of force, which, while approximately parallel, curve around and tend to form closed curves. The polarity of a field of force is referred to an imaginary direction of the lines of force from the north pole through space to the south pole, and in the part of the field corresponding to the body of the magnet, from the south to the north pole. The cut indicates these features. Hence the magnetic field of force is termed the magnetic circuit, and to it are attributed a species of resistance termed reluctance, q. v., and the producing cause of the field or lines of force is termed sometimes magneto-motive force, q. v.) corresponding to the electro-motive force. The modern treatment of the magnetic circuit is similar to the application of Ohm's law and the laws of resistance and conductivity to the electric circuit.
