Plant Healthcare Systems
Airtech Tools soil fracturing/feeding systems are primarily used to rescue ailing trees or to promote the growth of newly planted or transplanted trees, These pneumatic systems drive a lance into the soil, then fracture it below the surface with powerful bursts of air. Once the soil is fractured, soil amendments such as fertilizer or mycorrhizal fungi can be administered to tree roots through the same lance – all without damaging the roots or disturbing the surface around the tree. Available as a trailer, skid, or cart configuration, these systems are ideal for landscapers, golf course superintendents, arborists, or anyone seeking to optimize plant growth.
We have found that within seconds we can be 22″s into the soil decompacting and creating fissures. This allows the movement of minerals and water to pass deeper and contact a larger amount of cubic yards of soil. We have fractured and watered with the machine and no other treatments, and have seen great results. We were able to mobilize the nutrients in the soil that were tied up by compaction.

I have a bot that does web searches. When a user types >>search something, the bot responds with a list of 10 results. A message with that many lines is long enough that it isn't all displayed; instead, there is the (see full text) link. The problem is that the messages starts with :35584848, for example, to reply to a previous message. That syntax is usually special, and it puts that little arrow to the left of the message to signify that this is a reply. When (see full text) is clicked, however, the arrow stays, but the colon and numbers are now displayed. That makes the message look a little odd. Can we change that, please?

Abstract
We consider a superlattice of parallel metal tunnel junctions with a spatially nonhomogeneous probability for electrons to tunnel. In such structures tunneling can be accompanied by electron scattering that conserves energy but not momentum. In the special case of a tunneling probability that varies periodically with period a in the longitudinal direction, i.e., perpendicular to the junctions, electron tunneling is accompanied by umklapp scattering, where the longitudinal momentum changes by a multiple of h/a. We predict that as a result a sequence of metal-insulator transitions can be induced by an external electric or magnetic field as the field strength is increased.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION
The method, called "orders of reflection", involves the following steps: (1) The penetration of the radiation (neutrons or gamma rays) through single straight ducts of various dimensions is first calculated in a one-velocity treatment, assuming an albedo with an angular dependence given by Chandrasekhar's theory, and assuming isotropic scattering. This penetration probability is calculated for the case of 0, 1, 2,...n reflections from walls; (2) An estimate of the energy and angular characteristics of the radiation transmitted after 0, 1, 2,..., n
reflections is then made by using the results of a Monte Carlo calculation in which the energy and angular characteristics of the multiply-reflected radiation is computed in a space-independent treatment; (3) The results of calculations (1) and (2) are combined to obtain a transfer function which relates the intensities, direction, and energy characteristics of the radiations entering and leaving a single straight duct or duct segment.
Using the output of one such calculation as the input for the next, the transmissions of the radiation through a sequence of ducts can readily be calculated for any spatial configuration of successive duct legs. The approximations made in the orders-ofreflection method are particularly applicable to neutrons. However, the method, with some adaptation, has also been found to be applicable to gamma rays.
An extensive data base of neutron and gamma albedo data has been incorporated into the system which allows very rapid calculations of radiation penetration of complex duct configurations. Trial calculations have indicated very good agreement with published Monte Carlo calculations. The method may also be applied to shielding problems pertaining to medical radiation sources and accelerators, but the code has not been tested for these applications.

The blog sums up the tips taken from one of the interviews of H. Rao Unnava, on the importance of branding in higher education. The Dean of UC Davis Graduate School of Management, he had shared some concepts with a group of Higher Ed officials focused on improving student recruitment, alumni, and donor engagement. He has more than 30 years of research experience in building and maintaining the Institution's brand loyalty. Let's get into what he has to say.
Branding in higher education to Build brand loyalty
Brand loyalty, here in this case education branding is very crucial to getting desired results in Higher Education. The importance of university branding is so intense that it makes a student become emotionally attached to the Institution and more likely to commit to it in terms of donations, referrals, or take some positive action. The journey from student experiences to alumni communications creates access to many different types of touchpoints and therefore many opportunities to build brand loyalty. The more the institutions take advantage of these opportunities to build meaningful engagement, the more loyal and committed the constituents to become.
Develop distinct brand experience
Developing a distinct brand experience begins when prospective students, donors, and others visit the campus. The firsthand experience and feeling of ownership when they are physically present enhances their emotions that can be essential to success. Enrolled students should feel inspired by the institution as they pursue their degrees. In addition, when alumni and donors have touchpoints or visits with the institution, they should feel like they are part of the community. These experiences will build brand loyalty. rebrand, and be returned as positive actions on behalf of the institution.
Exceed high expectations
Higher education Institutions have a deeper level of relationship compared to consumer brands, so there may be a high level of emotional investment that must be met by these institutions. Institutions should prove quality experiences that are consistent with the constituents' value system and expectations.
Involve constituents in branding decisions
Involving constituents in branding decisions might increase their feeling of ownership towards the Institution because they know that the Institution considered them. However, it is important to listen. If the institution comes out with a new identity that is against the values of the most constituted, then there is going to be an issue.
In short, the keys to Institution's brand loyalty are in our hands. Make a difference to the Institution by setting high expectations, informing and involving constituents, and creating a strong brand identity.

The 9 best ways to mockup a website
What is the best way to mockup a website? It is the one that will not cause misunderstandings between web designers and web developers.
We offer nine best practices to design a website mockup that can significantly help you to develop and implement it with ease.
1. Separate every page/view when design a website mockup
Every page/view should be prepared as a separate PSD file with a corresponding intuitive name.
2. Observe the grid layout when mockup a website
All structural elements of the design should be arranged as an appropriate layered structure with clear titles, so a programmer can easily find all the parts, e.g.:
- slider
- sign-up button
- navigating arrows
- close cross
- about us block
- text
- who we are block
- text
- button find out more
The structure above is intuitively clear and possible to arrange correctly. It makes it possible to quickly assemble the page frame and position elements on the page.
3. Consider the screen resolution to improve design of a website mockup
All sizes and fonts should be integer values set in pixels and correspond to the size of the screen resolution that your design is prepared for (so a developer will not need to work on manual scaling or guessing how it should be changed for the different solutions).
4. Think over the structure for different devices when mockup a website
If there should be a specific (different) structure for mobile compared to the web, a designer must provide exact representations for those screens to keep all sizes, paddings, and elements accordingly.
5. Feel free to create additional folders for your website mockup
A designer must provide all used icons and all high-resolution images (if they exist for any kind of sliders, banners etc.) in a separate folder.
6. Describe graphic elements when design a website mockup
For all the elements with alternative visual states (like active, inactive, blocked, mouse-over, etc.), a designer must include a graphic representation of how these elements should look like for each particular state (it is related to buttons, navigation elements, etc.).
7. Specify colours to improve mockup design
Sometimes there are specific colours that can hardly be seen on different screen types (as you know, Macs have other displaying options, and sometimes in-between tints are missing for the human eye).
Specify these colours with a HEX number.
8. Describe the animation when design a website mockup
For all animations that a front-end developer needs to create (like flashes, pop-ups, etc.), a designer should describe them in an additional readme file.
9. Don't forget about typography elements to mockup a website
When you design a website mockup it is necessary to have a different layout with the standard typography design elements:
 - headings
 - paragraphs
 - tables
 - lists
 - blocks of quotation
Final words about mockup a website
Use these proven tips to design a website mockup any front-end developer will be happy to work with.
Remember, that thr right website mockup can save plenty of communication and management time (from 10% to 30% of overall work time) when working with a particular view/web page/mobile screen.
Just like any idea needs Proof of Concept, any design needs a well-thought-out mockup. It can simplify the customer's life, the designer, the programmer, and the whole team indeed.

The injection pressure of the gasoline direct injection vehicle is currently developing from the low pressure to the high pressure, and the increase of the injection pressure has brought various damage problems to the high pressure pump structure. These problems should be solved urgently. In this paper, the damage problem of the high pressure pump unloading valve ball in a gasoline direct injection vehicle under high pressure conditions is studied. The theoretical calculation of the force of the pressure relief valve is carried out. Firstly, the equivalent friction coefficient is obtained by decoupling analysis of the statically indeterminate model. Based on this, a finite element model is established. The equivalent stress is obtained by numerical simulation. The equivalent stress is compared with the yield strength of the valve ball material to determine that the valve ball damage is a non-static damage. At the same time, the s-N curve of the probability of destruction of one-millionth of the material of the valve ball is given. Then, the fatigue numerical simulation is performed. A safety factor of 3.66 is obtained. In summary, the high pressure relief valve ball in the direct injection high pressure pump should not be a traditional structural damage under high pressure conditions. In the theoretical calculation, the tangential displacement and radial displacement of the ball are all on the micrometer level. It can be presumed that the surface damage of the valve ball is microscopic damage, such as fretting wear.

A small bird caused the crash of a Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbird in 2020 which claimed one life.
The Snowbirds had been doing flyovers of Canadian communities in a show of support for frontline COVID-19 workers across the country. They were leaving Kamloops for Comox, B.C., on May 17. Two CT-114 Tutor aircraft took off, but one went into a steep nosedive at low altitude.
Aboard were pilot Captain Richard MacDougall and public affairs officer Captain Jennifer Casey, who is believed to have become briefly entangled with her ejection seat and whose parachute failed to fully open.
The aircraft crashed into a neighbourhood about two kilometres from the airfield. No one on the ground was injured, but Casey was killed and MacDougall seriously injured.
The investigation into the crash showed one small bird went into the engine, causing a compressor stall and loss of thrust. This was followed by an aerodynamic stall.
"Snowbird 11's power loss could not have come at a worse time—low altitude, low airspeed, proximity to another aircraft and in the vicinity of a built-up area," said Colonel John Alexander, RCAF director of flight safety.
The investigation report recommends more training to prepare aircrew for low-level engine failure after takeoff, clarifying directives for commands to eject over populated areas and research to stabilize ejection seats.

The Azienda Agricola Trabucchi d'Illasi was founded by the lawyer Marco Trabucchi in 1920, in a hamlet of Illasi (Monte Tenda), in Valpolicella, 15 kilometers east of Verona. In the 1950s the company passed to Marco's son, Professor Alberto, who, despite being a luminary of private law, who came to write a manual on the subject, still considered a reference text for university students and not only, worked with equal vigour and enthusiasm for the wine production of Valpolicella. Among the various campaigns conducted as mayor of Illasi (it was for 40 years), it is worth remembering how much he spent himself for the application of the DOC to the whole territory of Valpolicella, favoring the enhancement of its wines.
Since the late 1980s the winery has been run by his son, Giuseppe d'Illasi, and his wife Raffaella, who immediately gave a further boost to its development, with the choice of converting the 22 hectares of vineyards (and 6 of olive groves) to the organic regime as early as 1993. In addition, the spouses Trabucchi have taken a decisive step towards the production of quality with the construction, in 2002, of the new cellar, 3000 square meters organized on three floors entirely underground, up to 20 meters deep, with the vineyard growing on the attic of the last floor, connected to the old structure by an underground tunnel. The use of modern oenological instruments, together with the perfect isothermy and the absence of external noises or vibrations, guarantee the wine production and aging in optimal conditions.
Each operation is supervised by the oenologist Franco Bernabei who, assisted by Aristide Piovan (for the winery) and Matteo Merzari (for the vineyards), has set up a production methodology made of low yields per plant, high selection of bunches, a lot of manual work and a series of about 50 different types of analysis to which the entire production process is subjected, from green pruning to aging. The result of so much attention is this Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Villa Trabucchi DOC, a classic blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Forselina, made from grapes that grow at 200 meters above sea level with the Pergola Veronese method. Once in the cellar, the grapes dry slightly for 3-4 weeks and then, after their vinification, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
The 2016 vintage has an intense and impenetrable ruby red color, with an olfactory range that opens on notes of overripe durone cherry, black cherry syrup, tomato concentrate and boisée, combined with cooked plum, green branch of cinchona, dark chocolate and aromatic pipe tobacco, with conclusive echoes of graphite. In the mouth the wine is built around the alternation between the concentration of roundness (which almost seems to give an idea of sweetness) and the sapidity, enriched by a hint of green pepper and a balsamic freshness, necessary to balance the sip; all accompanied by the return of dark red fruit, spice and branch of cinchona that accompany the sip up to an excellent length closure.

India is a country of festivals. People love in our country to enjoy each and every bit of life. Life is incomplete without music. As we all know it's a part of our culture too. I have also made a list of the 5 best electric drum sets in India to make your choice a bit easier.
But getting the right instruments is a must for a good musician. Here I will discuss the best musical instrument of 2022 "Electric drum sets". An electric drum set is an instrument that is played by running your fingers over a series of pads that produce sounds when you hit them.
What is an electric drum set?
An electric drum set can be made up of as few as two pads (bass and snare) or as many as five. The pads are positioned on your left-hand side, with the lowest pad being the bass drum, the second pad being the snare, and so on.
The sounds are created electronically through amplifiers, speakers, or other devices attached to the kit. These drums are also known as MIDI drums or synthesizer drums. They have replaced the acoustic drums for many performers because of their convenience and variability in sound.
Benefits of getting the Best Electric Drum kit
The drum set has been a staple in music for decades. It is used in almost all major musical genres, and it is the most popular instrument in the world.
There are many advantages to owning an electronic drum kit, such as:
- Portability – Electronic drums can be assembled and disassembled easily, meaning they can be taken on the go. Drummers often have a hard time bringing their real drums with them when they travel, but with a digital version of their kit, they can bring their entire setup wherever they want to go.
- Versatility – Electric versions of drums are versatile enough to play any style of music from rock to classical.
- Durability – Unlike real drums, electronic versions are less likely to get damaged or broken due to how easy it is to transport them.
Check out more on benefits of electric drum here.
What you need to know before buying the Best Electric Drum Set?
Many people believe all-electric drum kits are the same. In fact, there are a lot of important features to consider before you buy the best electronic drum set.
Here is a list of features to look for when buying an electric drum kit:
Cymbals are important because they provide accents and fill with the main sounds of the drums. There are many varieties of cymbals, but all serve to create an interesting mix of percussive sounds from one or more areas on the left side of the set. Cymbals can be played by hand, with sticks or brushes. More expensive cymbals will have complex triggers that recognize when you're playing the bow, edge, or bell. Furthermore, they'll have triggers on the bottom so you can choke them with your hand.
The electronic drum kit simulates the sound of acoustic drums. A computer program controls the modules, which can produce different sounds. A higher-quality module produces higher-quality sound. For this reason, the best electronic drum kit must have upgraded modules.
Drum pads are an inexpensive way for musicians to practice their drumming skills. These pads come in various sizes and types, including chrome, rubber, mesh, and more. Some drum mats are made with a soft surface that can be used on any flooring, but others are designed specifically for use on carpeted floors.

A trigger can be classified as any type of sensor that displaces an electronic drum set sound. That means that triggers are either single or multiple. First, there is a "drum head sensor". When a drum head is struck, it displaces air which in turn moves the sensor and triggers the sound. Secondly, there are the "drum rack sensors." These sensors are placed on various drums and cymbals to detect when they are struck.

It's often said Crawley is an airport town but, long before the coming of the aeroplane, the railways played their own part in shaping our future.
A day doesn't pass without some one standing at one of the town's level crossings, bemoaning their lot, as they wait for the train to pass and the barriers to rise.
But without the railway, Crawley, Three Bridges and Ifield would be very different.
Members of Crawley Museum Society have teamed up with the history group of Crawley U3A (University of the Third Age ) to produce a booklet documenting the changes seen between 1840 and 1914 as the railway flourished.
Called 'The coming of the railways and their impact on Crawley' the booklet took more than two years to produce.
It covers the development of the railway, which ventured south of the Thames for the first time in 1836, as well as the effect it had on the people who lived in the three villages.
Gillian Pitt, of Crawley Museum and Crawley U3A, said: "Our group first met in May 2012 when we decided to cover the period from 1840, with the Act to build the London to Brighton railway line, through the rest of the century.
"This was later extended to the outbreak of war in 1914 as being the historic cut-off point.
"We also decided that our study would include any parts of the borough of Crawley that members wished, thus giving scope for the inclusion of Three Bridges.
"Members of the group have learned a lot on their research journey."
Among the gems included in the booklet is the fact Three Bridges Station was called East Crawley until Crawley Station itself was built in 1848.
With the railway, came a population boom which would be echoed on a much larger scale 100 years later with the building of the new town.
The booklet records that in 1851, the Parishes of Crawley, Ifield and Three Bridges had a combined population of 4,034.
By 1901, this had more than doubled to 8,121.
Gillian thanked Martin Hayes and Tim Stanton, of the West Sussex Library Service for their help in gathering information and for the use of library resources.
She added: "We have also had unstinting support from Helen Poole, the Curator of Crawley Museum who has guided and encouraged us in many ways."
The booklet is available to purchase at Crawley Museum, Goffs Park House, Old Horsham Road.

Difference Between Yorkie and Silky
silkyYorkie vs Silky
When it comes down to comparing breeds, the difference between Yorkie and Silky can only be defined by breed standards. Individual dogs can vary from breed standards, even if they are purebred dogs.
The Yorkie is a 'finer' dog, meaning his bone structure is smaller, his fur is finer, and he is overall a few pounds smaller than his very close relative, the Silky. Finer fur tends to grow a bit longer, and is accustomed to being matted, often on a daily basis. The Silky tends to be larger, with a broader bone structure.
His fur doesn't mat as easily, because it tends to be just barely thicker, and often doesn't grow much more than a mere 4 inches. Both dogs still require daily grooming. The Yorkie is also more likely to be the heavier shedder between the two breeds. Yet, comparatively speaking, neither dog qualifies as a heavy shedder like many of the larger breeds.
When touching the fur, the Yorkie has fur that is so fine and soft that it literally feels cooler than your hand temperature. The coarser fur of the Silky comes from the related ancestry of the Australian Terrier.
While both breeds definitely carry a stubborn streak, the Yorkie is most definitely the stronger-willed of the two dogs. He is more adamant about getting his way, and finding ways to get what he wants, even if it means getting into trouble. The Silky is considered a strong-willed dog, but is easier to train, and is more likely to work for the pleasure of his human, than solely for treat rewards.
The Silky has a more distinctive profile, as his snout and his head are larger and more prominent than the Yorkie. They call the Yorkie a 'square' breed, which means that, proportionally, he should resemble the square. His body length should be almost the same measurements as his height. The AKC requires that he weighs no more than 7 pounds, and his measurements shouldn't be more than an inch off. The Silky also has larger ears. They rest farther back on the head than the Yorkie's smaller ears.
The Yorkie and the Silky are different breeds. They are not the same breed, but only labeled for just their size difference. A large Yorkie is a still a Yorkie.

Iterating over a list

Working with multiple lists
14. Merging two sorted lists
Congratulations
Instruction
Very well done! Another typical problem is merging two sorted lists into a common sorted list. Suppose we have sleep duration times for two weeks in two separate, sorted lists:
sleep_durations_week_1 = [301, 346, 378, 410, 420]
sleep_durations_week_2 = [289, 317, 367, 414, 454]
We now want to create a common list containing all values from week 1 and week 2, sorted by amount. Take a look:
i, j = 0, 0
sorted_two_weeks = []
while i < len(sleep_durations_week_1) and j < len(sleep_durations_week_2):
 if sleep_durations_week_1[i] < sleep_durations_week_2[j]:
 sorted_two_weeks.append(sleep_durations_week_1[i])
 i += 1
 else:
 sorted_two_weeks.append(sleep_durations_week_2[j])
 j += 1
sorted_two_weeks += sleep_durations_week_1[i:]
sorted_two_weeks += sleep_durations_week_2[j:]
We use the temporary variables i and j. Here, i represents the current index in sleep_durations_week_1, and j does the same for sleep_durations_week_2.
We create a while loop that continues until the end of either of the two lists. Inside the loop, we compare sleep_durations_week_1[i] and sleep_durations_week_2[j]. If sleep_durations_week_1[i] is smaller, then we add this value to the list and increment i by 1. Otherwise, we add sleep_durations_week_2[j] to the list and increment j by 1.
At some point, either i or j will point to the end of its respective list, but the other variable will still point to some remaining values in the other list. That's why we need to add those remaining elements after the while loop terminates.

Exercise
Now it's your turn! You are given two lists: one of Martha's monthly spending in 2017 and another of her spending in 2018. Both lists are sorted in descending order. Merge these lists into a new list named all_sorted_spendings. The new list should also be sorted in descending order.
Stuck? Here's a hint!
The solution is very similar to the one in the explanation. Inside the while loop, change the less-than sign to a greater-than sign.

What time is it in Japan, the land of the rising sun? What is the time difference between its neighbors and between some of the biggest cities in the world? It's time to synchronize your watches and take a look.
What Time Zone Is Japan In?
Japan is in what is known as, Japan Standard Time JST (日本標準時, Nihon hyōjunji) and situated in the UTC time zone or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) + 9 hours.
As the Archipelago extends in a north-east-south-west direction over a small latitude and longitude on the earth, the entire country is in the same time zone.
Cartoon image of a Japanese clock tower
The Sapporo clock tower
A Short History of Japan's Time Zones
Before the start of the Meiji era in 1868, Japan's regions were not in the same time zone. The time was based on the sun's position, so when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, it was midday.
With the development and increased need for rail travel and greater accuracy in train schedules, this system quickly left arrivals and departures in a mess. In 1888, Ordinance 51 was passed, which, although it took two years to be implemented, reset all clocks in the Archipelago to the same time.
Cartoon image of Japanese train crossing in front of mountains
In 1895, when Japan ruled Taiwan, Ordinance 167 renamed the time zone "central normal time" (中央標準時, chūō hyōjunji) while "new normal Western time" (西部標準時, seibu hyōjunji) was in place in Taiwan and parts of Okinawa. This time zone was in place until 1937, when it was abolished, putting the whole of Japan, including Okinawa, in the same time zone.

Does Japan Have Daylight Savings?
Between 1948 and 1952, during Japan's American occupation, summertime started from the first Sunday in May to the second Saturday in September. However, when the Americans left, the notion of changing the clocks during the summer months was also abolished.
Since then, Japan has not changed the time and remains on winter time for the entire year. Even though summertime's return started some debates whether to reintroduce the practice of daylight savings, it was felt that the inconvenience of changing the time outweighed the advantages, so Japan never (re)adopted the practice.

What Is The Time Differences Between Japan and Other Major Cities in the World?
Japan remains the same as the Korean peninsula (Korean Standard Time) for the entire year. Like Japan, South Korea never changes the time, and therefore Tokyo is always the same time as Seoul. Japan is also the same time as eastern Indonesia (Indonesian Eastern Standard Time). Regarding the time difference between other Asian countries, Tokyo is 1 hour ahead of Beijing, 2 hours ahead of Bangkok, and 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai for the whole year.
Tokyo is 9 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, which feels obvious as Japan is known as the land of the rising sun. The Japanese capital is therefore 9 hours ahead of London in winter but only 8 hours in summer.
France also changes its time and therefore the time difference between Tokyo and Paris is 8 hours in winter and 7 hours in summer.
Tokyo is 12 hours ahead of Sao Paulo and 14 hours ahead of New York. When the Tokyo Stock Exchange closes at 3 pm, it is only 1 am for the traders in New York!
The whole of Japan is on Japan Standard Time, which is GMT +9 hours. Tokyo is therefore 7 hours ahead of Paris in summer and 8 hours in winter.

Dark Christmases for valley's miners | DrumhellerMail
Dark Christmases for valley's miners
 During the coal mining years, Christmas in Drumheller Valley was not only a time of good cheer, but also of hope.
 As the cold weather set across the prairies, the rush of winter coal orders streamed in and the miners were offered as many shifts as they could take. This greatly contrasted the long summer layoffs when no income for half the year meant stretching every dollar and every penny as far as a family could.
 By Christmas, the cheques were rolling in and a portion of that long anticipated pay was set aside to celebrate the season. It is said that when it was 40 below on the prairies, the happiest people around were the mine operators and the coal miners. A cold snap meant brisk business.
 However, coal mining was also a dangerous job. For many years it was the most dangerous occupation in Canada. Every mining season in the valley, thousands of men went into the deepest recesses to extract Drumheller coal. This is the coal that kept Canadians from western Ontario to Saskatoon to Dawson City to Vancouver warm in the winter. Every year, these men risked their lives, and unfortunately, some lost their lives.
 Between 1920 and 1961, at least twenty-six Drumheller Valley coal miners were killed in the month of December, the month of Christmas. Most of them were killed between December 5 and December 21. The week before Christmas seemed to be the deadliest.
 On December 17, 1926, pony driver Thomas Roddy was driving a loaded car at the Caledonian Collieries in Midland, when he fell under the loaded car he was hauling, receiving a broken neck. He died alone underground, in the pitch with no witnesses.
 That same day, just a half mile down the road at the Western Gem Mine in Midland, pony driver F.W. Brereton was crushed between loaded cars and coal rib, dying within minutes of the accident.
 Three years later, almost to the day, a similar tragedy unfolded again in Midland. On December 18, 1929, Thomas Campbell, a pony driver at the Western Gem in Midland was killed when his pit pony was spooked by a derailed coal car and continued to pull it, accidently crushing her driver between the coal car and a mine prop.
 Meanwhile, at the neighbouring Hy-Grade Mine, young coal miner Martin Mehalski was crushed by rock-fall.
 During these early years of Drumheller's history, the companies did not offer any recompense to the families these miners left behind. Instead, the community often banded together to help in anyway they could. Neighbours, fellow miners, the unions and even the local Madams were the ones to offer food, money, and a shoulder to lean on.
 Madam Mary Roper and her girls were known to hire a cab and fill it to the headliner with groceries, blankets, medicine, etc. and send it to a family facing terrible tragedy, an act of kindness that is still remembered to this day.
 The steady trickle of tragedy surrounding the pit heads of Drumheller Valley eventually became called the blood tax. Some years the blood tax we paid was very dear.
 In 1925 alone, at least a dozen Drumheller miners were killed and another 50 seriously, often permanently, injured. In 1926, three miners were killed mere days before Christmas Day, leaving behind young families to face their first Christmas without their father.
 Today, Drumheller is a successful and prosperous community. Luckily, our young men no longer need to risk their lives by digging the deep. Our coal is no longer required to fuel the development of a great nation. But for generations, Drumheller coal was needed to run the trains that brought immigrants out west. Drumheller coal was used to heat our homes, it cooked our meals, and turned on our lights. Drumheller Coal was vital to the development of western Canada.
 Thus it can be said, that the wealth and prosperity we take for granted today, is largely due to the blood tax paid by those coal miners and the families they left behind.
 Every Christmas, there was hope and optimism in the mining towns that populated the Drumheller Valley. But in the back of everyone's mind was the knowledge there was risk working underground.
 Not a Christmas would go by in this valley without at least one family losing a loved one in the mines. And for at least 26 Drumheller families, that tragedy occurred. The blood tax came due at a time we like to think of "as the most wonderful time of the year."

Why do most landlords conduct regular building inspections in Melbourne?
The recent researches have proven that the number of landlords who carry out regular building inspection has greatly increased. However, there are still some landlords out there who think that inspecting their buildings is very expensive and they do not want to waste their money conducting the inspection. The truth is that it is essential as a landlord to conduct regular building inspections since at the end of the day; they are the people who will benefit from the inspection. Some of the people will wonder how the building inspections will benefit them, yet they will have to pay some money. However, if you get to talk to any landlord who has been conducting building inspections, they will tell you that they like it and that they are not wasting their money. In case there are landlords out there who want to find the goodness in building inspections, this article will discuss the reasons why they should also be among those conducting building inspections in Melbourne.
1. It ensures that you are aware of the conditions of your buildings.
Most of the landlords have so many buildings that they have rented to people, and because they do not live in those houses, it is very hard for them to know about the conditions of their buildings. For this reason, building inspections in Melbourne gives the landlords a chance to know the conditions of their houses even without living in them. The only thing that helps them know whether the ceiling, the floor, tiles, drainage systems and also lighting are in the right conditions are the building inspections. This is why most of the landlords will conduct the inspections regularly so that they can always have an understanding of their property.
2. To budget for repairs.
Repairs also require to be budgeted for like the other investments. For this reason, most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections for them to know which sections of their buildings require repairs so that they can budget for the repairs. It also enables them to ensure that they have done the repairs as early as possible and to avoid at all costs repairing them when it is too late for them since it will require more money and time to complete the repairs.
3. Building inspections attract more buyers.
Have you been wondering why other landlords have more tenants than you? Then one of the reasons is that they conduct regular building inspections, but you do not. Another reason why most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections is to ensure that they have attracted as many tenants as possible. The number of tenants wanting to stay in your building will increase since they will have faith in you that there are no pests in your building, no defects and if the building has errors, you will work on them and lastly that their families will be safe in your building. However, if you do not conduct the inspection, the tenant will not trust whatever you tell them about your building since they have never seen you conducting inspections.
4. To find out the value of the building.
There are other times that landlords wish to sell their buildings. Without knowing the value of your building, it will be very difficult for you to sell the building at the right cost. For this reason, some landlords conduct building inspections to ensure that they know the real value of the building.
5. To ensure that they have insured their building.
For you to insure your building, you must ensure that you have done building inspections. For this reason, the landlords who need insurance covers for their buildings must conduct building inspections and work on the issues found during the inspection for the insurance company to accept insuring them. Gallo Property Inspection offer building inspections in Melbourne. They are glad to assist building owners and landlords.

Phase equilibria in the La - Mo - Se system at in the vicinity of and
Abstract:Phase relations prevalent in the La - Mo - Se system at in the vicinity of the ternary (Chevrel) phase and of the binary phase, have been established. Characteristic features of this system are as follows:
(i) Two isostructural, but mutually immiscible, solid solutions covering considerable compositional intervals exist. One of them, defined as La-intercalated, spreads over a triangular surface, with its origin at the binary and developing into the ternary system, as far as La. One edge of this triangle points towards the isostructural ternary phase. The second three-component solid solution is based on the Chevrel-type phase and takes the shape of a rectangular surface about 2 at% La wide, with 6.67 at% La as the mean value. The domain runs along the line, from x = 0 (40 at% Mo), characteristic of the exact stoichiometry 1:6:8, to x = 0.75 (45 at% Mo).
(ii) The continuous solid solution of the type, expected to occur between the binary and the ternary, is absent.
The domains of both solid solutions have been established using x-ray powder diffractometry and the evolution of the critical temperatures characteristic for each of the phases.

This combined instructor-led and laboratory course provides students using the PTC Creo Tolerance Analysis Extension with hands-on training on the Fundamentals of Tolerance Analysis within the Tolerance Analysis Extension environment.
When designing a product in a CAD system, it is important to remember that the CAD model is a perfect, theoretical representation of that product. However, when the product is manufactured, there will always be some variation in the dimensions of individual parts over an entire product run.
Using Tolerance Analysis Extension for PTC Creo, the objective of this course is to provide students with the fundamentals of how to achieve the delicate balance between tight tolerances desired by engineering to achieve the best product performance and loose tolerances desired by manufacturing to reduce costs and maximize process capability.
Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to apply the fundamental tolerance stack knowledge that they have gained through the exercises using Tolerance Analysis Extension. Students will learn how to create a model, analyze the variation on the product and interpret the results — all in one, easy-to-use environment.
- Access to PTC Creo and TAE software extension
- Basic CAD modeling skills
- Basic knowledge of GD&T Terminology
- Tolerance Analysis Fundamentals

TAE training is also available on an individual basis using web-conferencing. Review the syllabus for additional details.


Indirect Labor
Indirect labor is a term used in accounting and is a type of cost used in cost accounting. Labor costs to build a product or service are separated into direct labor and indirect.
Direct labor directly adds value to the product or service. This type of labor takes materials and machines it, or assembles it, etc to make it worth more than it was worth before.
Indirect on the other hand is necessary in the production process, but this person does not add any value to the product. This person will repair machinery and move the product with a fork truck, etc
Some of the jobs that are in this classification are:
 - Machine Repair
 - Fork Truck Driver
 - Machine Set Up
 - Inspector
 - Tool & Die
Indirect costs are actually part of what cost accountants called burden costs. Usually, these costs are allocated to a product or service based on a method that the cost accountant has come up with.
Usually direct labor will keep track of the time they spend on a particular job or product. This is accomplished by punching a time clock or writing down the time spent on the job.
Indirect labor fork truck driver Indirect on the other hand is involved in working on many jobs and their time is harder to allocate to a particular job. For example, a fork truck driver may move many different products around in a day. Some fork lift drivers spend time bringing parts to a line for assembly, and then may load trucks for shipment.
A burden rate that charges costs for indirect costs and other costs is developed. Some of the ways these costs may be applied may be based on the complexity of a product, the number of direct labor people involved in making the product, the amount of space the product takes up on the manufacturing floor, etc.
Another method to allocate these costs is ABC or activity based costing. With this method of costing, the indirect people may keep track of the actual time spent on a particular product or job. This is much more accurate that including indirect labor in burden rates, but involves more work in collecting the data.

Delivering professional 3D navigation and advanced ergonomic design, SpaceMouse® models are the optimal tool for engineers, designers and architects to create 3D designs across a variety of industries.
Improving ergonomics and efficiency at your workplace
A 'normal' computer mouse is an important part of any CAD workstation. It is light, compact and easy to operate. However, it poses one major disadvantage from an ergonomic point of view, in that you always have to operate it using the same hand. When a mouse is used intensively with repetitive patterns of movement, this can result in pain and functional impairments, also known as RSI syndrome or 'mouse arm'.
Using a 3D mouse can prevent these symptoms while making your CAD workflow considerably more efficient and healthier. Push, pull, twist or tilt the 3Dconnexion controller cap to simply and intuitively pan, zoom and rotate your 3D drawing. This frees your other hand to simultaneously utilize a standard mouse to select, create or edit models with ease.

TAKE A MUSLIM TO LUNCH
We all know that 99.9% of Muslims are peaceful, law-abiding citizens that live in our communities. They are surgeons, doctors, nurses, teachers, dentists, scientists, lab technicians and provide other services.
Reach out to a Muslim individual or family and make a difference. I suggest that we can do any of the following:
– take a Muslim to lunch,
-invite a Muslim child to your child's birthday party,
-speak to Muslim parents after school
-invite an Imman to speak at your church or other function
-invite an Imman to speak at schools
-invite a Muslim family to dinner (avoid alcohol/pork)
-drop a kindly written card in a mail box
-put a bumper sticker on your car
History tends to repeat itself – the good and the ugly!
When this hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric is seen on television, we need to speak with our children. I am thinking of how Jews must have felt in Nazi Germany when German citizens turned against them. "Let there be Peace on Earth and Let it Begin with Me." If you are a LGBTI person, you or someone you know has experienced hatred just on the fact that you were born gay or transgendered. We are born into religious families. Be a beacon of peace, tolerance and hope.


erred Get all sourcestamps in the database. You probably don't want to do this! This method will be extended to allow appropriate filtering. .. py:method:: getSourceStampsForBuild(buildid) :param buildid: build ID :returns: list of ssdict, via Deferred Get sourcestamps related to a build. state ~~~~~ .. py:module:: buildbot.db.state .. index:: double: State; DB Connector Component .. py:class:: StateConnectorComponent This class handles maintaining arbitrary key/value state for Buildbot objects. Each object can store arbitrary key/value pairs, where the values are any JSON-encodable value. Each pair can be set and retrieved atomically. Objects are identified by their (user-visible) name and their class. This allows, for example, a ''nightly_smoketest'' object of class ''NightlyScheduler'' to maintain its state even if it moves between masters, but avoids cross-contaminating state between different classes of objects with the same name. Note that "class" is not interpreted literally, and can be any string that will uniquely identify the class for the object; if classes are renamed, they can continue to use the old names. An instance of this class is available at ''master.db.state''. .. index:: objectid, objdict Objects are identified by *objectid*. .. py:method:: getObjectId(name, class_name) :param name: name of the object :param class_name: object class name :returns: the objectid, via a Deferred. Get the object ID for this combination of a name and a class. This will add a row to the 'objects' table if none exists already. .. py:method:: getState(objectid, name[, default]) :param objectid: objectid on which the state should be checked :param name: name of the value to retrieve :param default: (optional) value to return if ''name'' is not present :returns: state value via a Deferred :raises KeyError: if ''name'' is not present and no default is given :raises: TypeError if JSON parsing fails Get the state value for key ''name'' for the object with id ''objectid''. .. py:method:: setState(objectid, name, value) :param objectid: the objectid for which the state should be changed :param name: the name of the value to change :param value: the value to set :type value: JSON-able value :param returns: value actually written via Deferred :raises: TypeError if JSONification fails Set the state value for ''name'' for the object with id ''objectid'', overwriting any existing value. In case of two racing writes, the first (as per db rule) one wins, the seconds returns the value from the first. .. py:method:: atomicCreateState(objectid, name, thd_create_callback) :param objectid: the objectid for which the state should be created :param name: the name of the value to create :param thd_create_callback: the function to call from thread to create the value if non-existent. (returns JSON-able value) :param returns: Deferred :raises: TypeError if JSONification fails Atomically creates the state value for ''name'' for the object with id ''objectid'', If there is an existing value, returns that instead. This implementation ensures the state is created only once for the whole cluster. Those 3 methods have their threaded equivalent, ''thdGetObjectId'', ''thdGetState'', ''thdSetState'' that are intended to run in synchronous code, (e.g master.cfg environment) users ~~~~~ .. py:module:: buildbot.db.users .. index:: double: Users; DB Connector Component .. py:class:: UsersConnectorComponent This class handles Buildbot's notion of users. Buildbot tracks the usual information about users -- username and password, plus a display name. The more complicated task is to recognize each user across multiple interfaces with Buildbot. For example, a user may be identified as 'djmitche' in Subversion, '_EMAIL_' in Git, and 'dustin' on IRC. To support this functionality, each user as a set of attributes, keyed by type. The :py:meth:'findUserByAttr' method uses these attributes to match users, adding a new user if no matching user is found. Users are identified canonically by *uid*, and are represented by *usdicts* (user dictionaries) with keys * ''uid'' * ''identifier'' (display name for the user) * ''bb_username'' (buildbot login username) * ''bb_password'' (hashed login password) All attributes are also included in the dictionary, keyed by type. Types colliding with the keys above are ignored. .. py:method:: findUserByAttr(identifier, attr_type, attr_data) :param identifier: identifier to use for a new user :param attr_type: attribute type to search for and/or add :param attr_data: attribute data to add :returns: userid via Deferred Get an existing user, or add a new one, based on the given attribute. This method is intended for use by other components of Buildbot to search for a user with the given attributes. Note that ''identifier'' is *not* used in the search for an existing user. It is only used when creating a new user. The identifier should be based deterministically on the attributes supplied, in some fashion that will seem natural to users. For future compatibility, always use keyword parameters to call this method. .. py:method:: getUser(uid) :param uid: user id to look up :type key: int :param no_cache: bypass cache and always fetch from database :type no_cache: boolean :returns: usdict via Deferred Get a usdict for the given user, or ''None'' if no matching user is found. .. py:method:: getUserByUsername(username) :param username: username portion of user credentials :type username: string :returns: usdict or None via deferred Looks up the user with the bb_username, returning the usdict or ''None'' if no matching user is found. .. py:method:: getUsers() :returns: list of partial usdicts via Deferred Get the entire list of users. User attributes are not included, so the results are not full userdicts. .. py:method:: updateUser(uid=None, identifier=None, bb_username=None, bb_password=None, attr_type=None, attr_data=None) :param uid: the user to change :type uid: int :param identifier: (optional) new identifier for this user :type identifier: string :param bb_username: (optional) new buildbot username :type bb_username: string :param bb_password: (optional) new hashed buildbot password :type bb_password: string :param attr_type: (optional) attribute type to update :type attr_type: string :param attr_data: (optional) value for ''attr_type'' :type attr_data: string :returns: Deferred Update information about the given user. Only the specified attributes are updated. If no user with the given uid exists, the method will return silently. Note that ''bb_password'' must be given if ''bb_username'' appears; similarly, ''attr_type'' requires ''attr_data''. .. py:method:: removeUser(uid) :param uid: the user to remove :type uid: int :returns: Deferred Remove the user with the given uid from the database. This will remove the user from any associated tables as well. .. py:method:: identifierToUid(identifier) :param identifier: identifier to search for :type identifier: string :returns: uid or ''None'', via Deferred Fetch a uid for the given identifier, if one exists. masters ~~~~~~~ .. py:module:: buildbot.db.masters .. index


The Wikipedia entry for Lapis Niger mentions that the inscription was written in boustrophedon, alternating reading direction between every line. This inscription is far from complete. Are there Latin inscriptions that were written in boustrophedon that have have (essentially) completely survived to us?
I could not find examples of Latin inscriptions in boustrophedon besides the one I mentioned, probably because I am not familiar with any inscription databases. What I want is a good example or two, not necessarily a full listing of all known inscriptions (if there are many). I don't mind if an example inscription is short, but it should have at least two lines, of course.

 The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, known as CIL, is online cil.bbaw.de/cil_en/index_en.html This is the ultimate collection of inscriptions in Latin (not completely digitized though, there are 30 volumes). Caveat: it needs some training how to use it. – Alex B. Mar 13 '16 at 13:03
 - _USER_., thanks! I had heard of CIL but had never seen it online. Is it possible to search it for boustrophedon inscriptions? I can't see how to do that. – Joonas Ilmavirta Mar 13 '16 at 13:21
 - I thought to remember my teacher mention that TETEROROMAMANUNUDADATETELALATETE was not only confusing (ore more elaboratela: onomatopoetic representation of barbaric language) by its lack of white space or letter case or interpunction in its original, but additionally confusing when written as boustrophedron. But perhaps this does not imply that the origianl was written that way... – Hagen von Eitzen May 1 '20 at 10:28
Since this is not exactly my area of expertise, I will quote Rex Wallace (Wallace 2011).
He argues that the earliest Latin inscriptions were written from right to left and from left to right (p. 22). He mentions three examples of right-to-left inscriptions in Latin: the Vetusia inscription (ET La 2.1) and the Fibula Praenestina (CIL I².3). Not everyone agrees whether the language of the Vetusia inscription should be considered Latin, though, and the authenticity of the Fibula Praenestina gets questioned from time to time (the artifact, not the text).
Note: Michael Weiss writes, in the new, second edition of his Outline of the Historical and Comparative Grammar of Latin (2020),
"New scientific investigation with a scanning electron microscope by Edilberto Formigli and Daniela Ferro (2014) has now shown beyond a reasonable doubt that both the fibula and its inscription are ancient" (Weiss 2020: 24, ft. 2).
The third example is the bronze Fucine Lake inscription (CIL I².5), which was found in 1877 but is lost now. Clackson and Horrocks 2007/2011 give its text in a new version proposed in Crawford 2006.
This is what it looks like in CIL (de visu, I took the picture myself):
Most importantly, Wallace observes that
"By the middle of the republican period, however, writers had settled on left-to-right direction as the norm, and almost all Latin inscriptions after this date are written in this manner. Inscriptions in other formats, such as boustrophendon, appear rather infrequently" (Wallace 2011: 22).
Also note that there is a difference between boustrophedon (the direction of writing alternates) and sinistroverse (the direction of writing is right-to-left), e.g. a bronze tablet from Falerii Novi (CIL I² 365); please follow the link to see it, since it is copyrighted. Here's the glossed text, from Clackson and Horrocks:
enter image description here
Clackson and Horrocks 2007 argue it is written in Latin and not Faliscan (contrary to what Getty Images says). As they put it, it is written in the Faliscan manner (sinistroverse), with Faliscan letter forms and mainly Faliscan orthography (see Clackson and Horrock 2007: 119-120 for further detail).
John Bodel (Bodel 2012) observes that by the end of the fifth BCE Latin texts "regularly ran left to right" (p. 82). He discusses two theories, neither of which, he argues, can be proven correct at this point.
According to the first theory, "[w]hen inscribed writing began to be used to label larger monuments, however, the fixed position of (generally) rectilinear objects necessitated accommodating a more limited range of viewing perspectives" (p. 83).
The second theory holds that Roman script is dextroverse because of the desire to make it look as much different as possible from sinistroverse ductus in Etruscan, due to rising political and cultural ambitions of Rome.

 StackExchange allows html formatting for superscripts and subscripts. 1 and 2 gives you superscript 1 and subscript 2 but it doesn't seem to work in comments. (_USER_.M.Weimer, you may also want to know this.) Does Wallace's article contain photographs or drawings of the inscriptions so that one could actually see the boustrophedon in action? I can't access it now; I'll see if I have better luck tomorrow when I'm on campus. And thanks, this is a good answer, and so is the other one! – Joonas Ilmavirta Mar 14 '16 at 0:21
We do in fact have a couple.
The best little collection of Old Latin inscriptions is found in Warmington's old Loeb, Remains of Old Latin IV: Archaic Inscriptions. It's a tiny bit out of date, but otherwise holds up well as an anthology of old inscriptions with a very good translation to go along with it.
Thumbing through quickly, I noticed a couple dedicatory inscriptions. They're generally easy to find in here, as there are arrows by the editor which show the direction of the text. The first I noticed was the second of the dedicatory inscriptions, which is known as the Lapis Fucinus or Caso Cantovios bronze (CIL 1².5, dated c. 300 BCE). Below is a screenshot to the online Loeb edition, since I cannot figure out how to accurately preserve formatting without it looking a mess.
Lapis Fucinus, example of boustrophedon
in English:
Caso Cantovios Aprufclanos set up pillars at the Esalican boundary in the city Casontonia; and his allies brought a sacred gift to Angitia on behalf of Marsian legions.
This seems to be the best example of a complete inscription in boustrophedon. We also have examples of sinistroverse (left-to-right) inscriptions, such as a Falerian bronze tablet (Warmington 71).
Falerian Bronze, example of sinistroverse
I can't find a quick picture of the inscription, but the arrows again show the direction of the inscription.

Pakistan: Livelihoods & micro-credit for women
Thursday, April 13, 2006
Collapsed sheds, landslides and falling rocks triggered by the October 8th earthquake and subsequent aftershocks, killed more than 100,000 heads of livestock in northern Pakistan, mainly buffaloes and cows. Additionally, in the immediate weeks after the quake, many farmers were forced to sell their livestock at a very low price because of the lack of shelter and to provide food for their families. This significantly reduced number of livestock in rural areas foretells of immediately reduced income for affected families and less manure for the next cropping season, which will affect their income-generating potential for months to come.
Perhaps the most affected by this loss of livestock and income-generating opportunities has been women, many of whom also lost their husbands and sons in the quake. As a result, female-headed households have been left to fend for themselves and provide for their families with few, if any, income-generating livestock and little usable farmland.
As a majority of the population in the earthquake affected areas depends on farming and livestock for livelihoods, Relief International recognized and is addressing the urgent need to provide livelihood opportunities to women through the provision of micro-loans and assisting in the purchase of small and large animals.

 - partition_column: The name of the TIMESTAMP or DATE column used to create a partitioned table. If you create a partitioned table, you do not need to specify the --time_partitioning_type=DAY flag.
 - cluster_columns: A comma-separated list of up to four clustering columns.
 - integer2: The default lifetime (in seconds) for the table's partitions. There is no minimum value. The expiration time evaluates to the partition's date plus the integer value. The partition expiration is independent of the table's expiration but does not override it. If you set a partition expiration that is longer than the table's expiration, the table expiration takes precedence.
 - description: A description of the table, in quotes.
 - key:value: The key-value pair that represents a label. You can enter multiple labels using a comma-separated list.
 - project_id: Your project ID.
 - dataset: A dataset in your project.
 - table: The name of the partitioned table you're creating.
When you specify the schema on the command line, you cannot include a RECORD (STRUCT) type, you cannot include a column description, and you cannot specify the column's mode. All modes default to NULLABLE. To include descriptions, modes, and RECORD types, supply a JSON schema file instead.
Examples:
Enter the following command to create a clustered table named myclusteredtable in mydataset in your default project. The table is a partitioned table (partitioned by a TIMESTAMP column). The partitioning expiration is set to 86,400 seconds (1 day), the table's expiration is set to 2,592,000 (1 30-day month), the description is set to This is my clustered table, and the label is set to organization:development. The command uses the -t shortcut instead of --table.
The schema is specified inline as: timestamp:timestamp,customer_id:string,transaction_amount:float. The specified clustering field customer_id is used to cluster the partitions.
bq mk -t \
--expiration _PHONE_ \
--schema 'timestamp:timestamp,customer_id:string,transaction_amount:float' \
--time_partitioning_field timestamp \
--clustering_fields customer_id \
--time_partitioning_expiration 86400 \
--description "This is my clustered table" \
--label org:dev \
mydataset.myclusteredtable
Enter the following command to create a clustered table named myclusteredtable in myotherproject, not your default project. The table is an ingestion-time partitioned table. The partitioning expiration is set to 259,200 seconds (3 days), the description is set to This is my partitioned table, and the label is set to organization:development. The command uses the -t shortcut instead of --table. This command does not specify a table expiration. If the dataset has a default table expiration, it is applied. If the dataset has no default table expiration, the table never expires, but the partitions expire in 3 days.
The schema is specified in a local JSON file: /tmp/myschema.json. The customer_id field is used to cluster the partitions.
bq mk -t \
--expiration _PHONE_ \
--schema /tmp/myschema.json \
--time_partitioning_type=DAY \
--clustering_fields=customer_id \
--time_partitioning_expiration 86400 \
--description "This is my partitioned table" \
--label org:dev \
myotherproject:mydataset.myclusteredtable
After the table is created, you can update the partitioned table's table expiration, partition expiration, description, and labels.

Call the tables.insert method with a defined table resource that specifies the timePartitioning property, the clustering.fields property, and the schema property.

Creating a clustered table from a query result
There are two ways to create a clustered table from a query result:
You can create a clustered table by querying either a partitioned table or a non-partitioned table. You cannot change an existing table to a clustered table by using query results.
When you create a clustered table from a query result, you must use standard SQL. Currently, legacy SQL is not supported for querying clustered tables or for writing query results to clustered tables.
Console
You cannot specify clustering options for a destination table when you query data using the console BigQuery web UI unless you use a DDL statement. For more information, see Using Data Definition Language statements.
Classic UI
You cannot specify clustering options for a destination table when you query data using the classic BigQuery web UI unless you use a DDL statement. For more information, see Using Data Definition Language statements.
CLI
Enter the following command to create a new, clustered destination table from a query result:
bq --location=location query \
--use_legacy_sql=false 'query'
Replace the following:
 - location: The name of your location. The --location flag is optional. For example, if you are using BigQuery in the Tokyo region, you can set the flag's value to asia-northeast1. You can set a default value for the location using the .bigqueryrc file.
 - query: A query in standard SQL syntax. Currently, you cannot use legacy SQL to query clustered tables or to write query results to clustered tables. The query can contain a CREATE TABLE DDL statement that specifies the options for creating your clustered table. You can use DDL rather than specifying the individual command-line flags.
Examples:
Enter the following command to write query results to a clustered destination table named myclusteredtable in mydataset. mydataset is in your default project. The query retrieves data from a non-partitioned table: mytable. The table's customer_id column is used to cluster the table. The table's timestamp column is used to create a partitioned table.
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false \
'CREATE TABLE
 mydataset.myclusteredtable
 PARTITION BY
 DATE(timestamp)
 CLUSTER BY
 customer_id AS
 SELECT
 *
 FROM
 'mydataset.mytable''
API
To save query results to a clustered table, call the jobs.insert method, configure a query job, and include a CREATE TABLE DDL statement that creates your clustered table.
Specify your location in the location property in the jobReference section of the job resource.
Creating a clustered table when you load data
You can create a clustered table by specifying clustering columns when you load data into a new table. You do not need to create an empty table before loading data into it. You can create the clustered table and load your data at the same time.
For more information about loading data, see Introduction to loading data into BigQuery.
To define clustering when defining a load job:
API
To define a clustering configuration when creating a table through a load job, you can
