GS200 DC VOLTAGE / CURRENT SOURCE
The GS200 is a DC voltage/current source that boasts high accuracy, high stability, and high resolution. With its excellent traceability, stability, and 5 1/2-digit resolution, the GS200 generates extremely low-noise DC voltage and current signals that are required for many applications. Additionally, the optional monitoring feature turns the GS200 into a voltage and current measuring instrument.
High Accuracy and High Resolution Output
Each DC voltage/current source in the GS200 series uses two DACs to generate highly accurate voltage and current at a high resolution. It is highly stable whether it is used for a short or long period of time and features superb linearity over all the ranges. Moreover, it produces extremely low noise.
±0.016% of setting + 240 μV (at 10 V range for one year)
±0.03% of setting + 5 μA (at 100 mA range for one year)
±0.001% of setting 20 μV (at 10 V range for one day)
±0.004% of setting + 3 μA (at 100 mA range for one day)
100 nV (VDC, 10 mV range)
10 nA (1 mA range)
100 μVp-p (10 V range, DC to 10 kHz)
3 μAp-p (100 mA range, DC to 10 kHz)
The GS200 features 5 1/2-digit, ±120,000-count output resolution for both voltage and current sources. At the 100 mV and 10 mV source ranges, the GS200 uses its highly accurate voltage divider to achieve extremely low noise levels, in the order of μV. The minimum output resolution of 100 nV and low noise output enable you to make extremely small changes to the signal level.
Source and Sink Operations
The GS200 can perform four-quadrant operation by operating as a current source or a current sink in the range of ±30 V and ±200 mA.
When the GS200 is sinking current, it can operate over the exact same range as when it is operating as a current source. You can use the GS200 not just as a highly accurate voltage source but also as a highly accurate constant-current electronic load.
Maximum output current: ±200 mA (at 1 V, 10 V, and 30 V ranges)
(A highly accurate voltage divider is used at the 10 mV and 100 mV ranges.)
Current ranges: 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, and 200 mA
Maximum output voltage: ±30 V
Seamless Bipolar Output
The GS200 bipolar output function inverts the signal polarity without the use of a mechanical contact. Thus, no abnormal voltage (or current) is generated when the polarity is inverted. This achieves truly continuous voltage variation from the maximum negative output to the maximum positive output. This feature is invaluable in the evaluation of zero-crossing comparators and in the output polarity inversion during program operation. Voltage or current glitches do not occur when the setting is changed within the same range.
Simple Voltage and Current Monitoring Feature (Optional)
In addition to the GS200's high accuracy voltage and current source features, it can also be equipped with an optional simple voltage and current monitoring feature. With this option, the GS200 can function as a current monitor when it is generating voltage and as a voltage monitor when it is generating current. The display resolution is 4 1/2 digits.
The measured values can be stored along with the source values in the internal memory (USB mass storage device).
Easy to Use
An up/down key has been provided below each of the 5 1/2 digits for setting the source so that any digit can be readily changed.
Changing the source value is easy, and increment/decrement resolution can also be set freely. This feature is invaluable during threshold level detection of the DUT and during measurements of V-I characteristics. In addition, the GS200's high-resolution dot matrix VFD enables a large amount of information to be displayed. The GS200 also offers freely adjustable font sizes for improved readability and productivity. The GS200 has soft key menus for easy operation.
Easy Programming Using the USB Mass Storage Feature
You can define up to 10,000 steps of output values and stored these steps to USB memory. You can also set the output interval, settling time, and other settings.
If you connect the GS200 to a PC, the PC will detect the GS200 internal memory as an external storage medium (USB mass storage device). You can easily drag data from the PC to the GS200 internal memory.
In addition, you can enter and edit output data using the GS200 keys.
On models with the monitoring option, the measured data is stored to the internal memory along with the output data. You can easily drag the measured data from the GS200 to the PC. You can use the GS200 as a simple V-I curve tracer or data logger.
Channel Expansion through Synchronous Operation
By using multiple GS200s in synchronous operation, you can expand the number of channels that are available.
It is easy to apply voltages and monitor currents simultaneously on multiple pins. There is no need for synchronous control circuits or complicated wiring.
The source and monitored values are saved in CSV format to the internal memory (USB mass storage device) of each GS200. By collecting and merging these files, you can view a list of the relationships between the voltages and currents of multiple channels.

column names map to object properties. It was Marlena's idea to keep those things together, and so we came up with a class called DataNamesAttribute that looks like this:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)]
public class DataNamesAttribute : Attribute
{
 protected List<string> _valueNames { get; set; }
 public List<string> ValueNames
 {
 get
 {
 return _valueNames;
 }
 set
 {
 _valueNames = value;
 }
 }
 public DataNamesAttribute()
 {
 _valueNames = new List<string>();
 }
 public DataNamesAttribute(params string[] valueNames)
 {
 _valueNames = valueNames.ToList();
 }
}
This attribute can then be used (in fact, can only be used, due to the AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property) declaration) on properties of other classes. Let's say we're going to map to a Person class. We would use DataNamesAttribute like so:
public class Person
{
 [DataNames("first_name", "firstName")]
 public string FirstName { get; set; }
 [DataNames("last_name", "lastName")]
 public string LastName { get; set; }
 [DataNames("dob", "dateOfBirth")]
 public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
 [DataNames("job_title", "jobTitle")]
 public string JobTitle { get; set; }
 [DataNames("taken_name", "nickName")]
 public string TakenName { get; set; }
 [DataNames("is_american", "isAmerican")]
 public bool IsAmerican { get; set; }
}
Now that we know where the data needs to end up, let's start mapping out the mapper (heh).
Reflection
Our mapper class will be a generic class so that we can map from DataTable or DataRow objects to any kind of object. We'll need two methods to get different kinds of data:
public class DataNamesMapper<TEntity> where TEntity : class, new()
{
 public TEntity Map(DataRow row) { ... }
 public IEnumerable<TEntity> Map(DataTable table) { ... }
}
Let's start with the Map(DataRow row) method. We need to do three things:
 1. Figure out what columns exist in this row.
 2. Determine if the TEntity we are mapping to has any properties with the same name as any of the columns (aka the Data Names) AND
 3. Map the value from the DataRow to the TEntity.
Here's how we do this, using just a bit of reflection:
public TEntity Map(DataRow row)
{
 //Step 1 - Get the Column Names
 var columnNames = row.Table.Columns
 .Cast<DataColumn>()
 .Select(x => x.ColumnName)
 .ToList();
 //Step 2 - Get the Property Data Names
 var properties = (typeof(TEntity)).GetProperties()
 .Where(x => x.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DataNamesAttribute), true).Any())
 .ToList();
 //Step 3 - Map the data
 TEntity entity = new TEntity();
 foreach (var prop in properties)
 {
 PropertyMapHelper.Map(typeof(TEntity), row, prop, entity);
 }
 return entity;
}
Of course, we also need to handle the other method, the one where we can get a collection of TEntity:
public IEnumerable<TEntity> Map(DataTable table)
{
 //Step 1 - Get the Column Names
 var columnNames = table.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Select(x => x.ColumnName).ToList();
 //Step 2 - Get the Property Data Names
 var properties = (typeof(TEntity)).GetProperties()
 .Where(x => x.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DataNamesAttribute), true).Any())
 .ToList();

 //Step 3 - Map the data
 List<TEntity> entities = new List<TEntity>();
 foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
 {
 TEntity entity = new TEntity();
 foreach (var prop in properties)
 {
 PropertyMapHelper.Map(typeof(TEntity), row, prop, entity);
 }
 entities.Add(entity);
 }
 return entities;
}
You might be wondering just what the heck the PropertyMapHelper class is. If you are, you might also be about to regret it.
Dig a Little Deeper
The PropertyMapHelper, as suggested by the name, maps values to different primitive types (int, string, DateTime, etc.). Here's that Map() method we saw earlier:
public static void Map(Type type, DataRow row, PropertyInfo prop, object entity)
{
 List<string> columnNames = AttributeHelper.GetDataNames(type, prop.Name);
 foreach (var columnName in columnNames)
 {
 if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(columnName)
 && row.Table.Columns.Contains(columnName))
 {
 var propertyValue = row[columnName];
 if (propertyValue != DBNull.Value)
 {
 ParsePrimitive(prop, entity, row[columnName]);
 break;
 }
 }
 }
}
There are two pieces in this method that we haven't defined yet: the AttributeHelper class and the ParsePrimitive() method. AttributeHelper is a rather simple class that merely gets the list of column names from the DataNamesAttribute:
public static List<string> GetDataNames(Type type, string propertyName)
{
 var property = type
 .GetProperty(propertyName)
 .GetCustomAttributes(false)
 .Where(x => x.GetType().Name == "DataNamesAttribute")
 .FirstOrDefault();

 if (property != null)
 {
 return ((DataNamesAttribute)property).ValueNames;
 }
 return new List<string>();
}
The other we need to define in ParsePrimitive(), which as its name suggests will parse the values into primitive types. Essentially what this class does is assign a value to a passed-in property reference (represented by the PropertyInfo class). I'm not going to post the full code on this post (you can see it over on GitHub), so here's a snippet of what this method does:
private static void ParsePrimitive(PropertyInfo prop, object entity, object value)
{
 if (prop.PropertyType == typeof(string))
 {
 prop.SetValue(entity, value.ToString().Trim(), null);
 }
 else if (prop.PropertyType == typeof(int)
 || prop.PropertyType == typeof(int?))
 {
 if (value == null)
 {
 prop.SetValue(entity, null, null);
 }
 else
 {
 prop.SetValue(entity, int.Parse(value.ToString()), null);
 }
 }
 ...
}
That's the bottom of the rabbit hole, as it were. Now, we can use the DataSet objects we created earlier and our mapping system to see if we can map this data correctly.
Two Worlds
Here's a quick program that can test our new mapping system:
class Program
{
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 var priestsDataSet = DataSetGenerator.Priests();
 DataNamesMapper<Person> mapper = new DataNamesMapper<Person>();
 List<Person> persons = mapper.Map(priestsDataSet.Tables[0]).ToList();
 var ranchersDataSet = DataSetGenerator.Ranchers();
 persons.AddRange(mapper.Map(ranchersDataSet.Tables[0]));
 foreach (var person in persons)
 {
 Console.WriteLine("First Name: " + person.FirstName
 + ", Last Name: " + person.LastName
 + ", Date of Birth: "
 + person.DateOfBirth.ToShortDateString()
 + ", Job Title: " + person.JobTitle
 + ", Nickname: " + person.TakenName
 + ", Is American: " + person.IsAmerican);
 }
 Console.ReadLine();
 }
}
When we run this app (which you can do too), we will get the following output:
Mapping DataTables and DataRows to Objects in C# and .NET
Which is exactly what we want!
(I mean, really, did you expect me to blog about something

Following a strand of narrative studies pointing to the living conditions of storytelling and the micro-level implications of working within fragmented narrative perspectives, this article contributes to narrative research on work stories by focusing on how meaning is created from fragmented stories. We argue that meaning by story making is not always created by coherence and causality; meaning is created by different types of fragmentation: discontinuities, tensions and editing. The objective of this article is to develop and advance antenarrative practice analysis of work stories by exploring how different types of fragmentation create meanings. This is done by studying the work stories of job and personnel consultants and by drawing on the results of a narrative, ethnographic study of a consultancy. The analysis demonstrates how work stories are social practices negotiated, retold, edited and performed by the storyteller in an ongoing process allowing tensions, discontinuities and editing between failures and achievements, between dreams and work realities and between home and work life. We argue that by including different types of fragmentation, we offer a new type of antenarrative practice approach that offers a contemporary method for exploring meaning creation in work stories.

text: Measurements obtained by the PSU Lidar Atmospheric Profile Sensor (LAPS) Raman lidar, during different periods, provide a comprehensive dataset to characterize cloud properties and aerosol distributions. The PSU Raman lidar measures the profiles of molecular nitrogen, molecular oxygen and the rotational Raman scatter (the mixture of all molecular species) at both visible and ultraviolet wavelengths, which are then used to generate vertical aerosol extinction profiles from the incremental extinction. Since the optical extinction at different wavelengths is strongly dependent on the size distribution of aerosols, variations in the profile of the size distribution can be inferred over an interesting range corresponding to accumulation mode particles, 50 nm to 1μm. The variation in the extinction profiles at different wavelengths is also used along with the water vapor profiles to observe the formation, growth and dissipation of cloud structures. The water vapor concentrations have been seen to decrease in regions surrounding a growing cloud as the particles increase in size by absorbing the water. Also, the water vapor concentration is found to increase as clouds begin to dissipate. The change in the size of the cloud particles during the different stages can also be observed in the multi-wavelength aerosol extinction. Results obtained from different locations, and for a wide range of atmospheric conditions, are used to compare and contrast the aerosol distributions and also to study the physical properties of clouds.

A grapple is an object traditionally consisting of a rope or chain ending with a 'hook'. Grapples are commonly used by adventurers as a way of safely scaling otherwise impassable obstacles such as cliff faces or wide chasms. An important tool in the inventory of any intrepid explorer, the grapple has inevitably found its way into games.
Within gaming, the grapple has many applications, depending on the game in question. In a lot of games, grapples are used in platforming segments to allow a character to access a location that would otherwise be out of their reach. Some games use grapples within combat, sometimes to pull an enemy in close for a melee hit, and other times to steal protective shields and armor from foes in order to expose a weakness. The importance of grapples in gaming is perhaps best illustrated by titles such as Bionic Commando, in which use of the grapple is a key game mechanic.

6 maintenance methods of constant temperature and humidity test chamber
Constant temperature and humidity test box is a kind of commonly used experimental equipment. It is used to test the performance of materials in various environments and test the heat resistance, cold resistance, dry resistance and humidity resistance of various materials. It is widely used in many industries. The following is mainly to introduce you to the 6 maintenance methods of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber.
1. Excessive or too little current in the working environment will cause the refrigeration unit to be destroyed, so everyone should maintain a stable output power in the available space.
2. The refrigeration unit that often uses the constant temperature and humidity test chamber will cause the refrigeration unit to be abnormal or unable to work. Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently start the refrigeration unit during the whole release process. The starting interval of the refrigeration unit should exceed 15 minutes.
3. The safety method of the refrigeration unit of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber, etc., the installation of protection equipment is to better ensure the equipment itself and the safety performance of the equipment shown by the staff in the operation process. Therefore, maintenance should be carried out to go out on time. Ensure alertness and credibility.
4. The operating position of the refrigeration unit in the constant temperature and humidity test chamber will destroy the refrigeration unit. Therefore, the operating position of the refrigeration unit should be strictly checked during the entire operation of the equipment. If the actual operation is reversed, please turn off the toroidal transformer immediately. The interchange of two arbitrary transmission lines in the live line zero line has just begun to be used again.
5. If the machine is running below 0°C, try to avoid opening the door, because when the temperature is low, opening the door will easily cause the internal evaporator and other parts to form frost, especially the lower the temperature, the more serious the situation. It must be opened, and the opening time should be shortened as much as possible.
6. When the low temperature operation is completed, be sure to set the temperature condition to 60℃ for drying for about half an hour, so as not to affect the measurement time of the next operating condition or freeze.
Special attention: After the machine has completed low-temperature operation, be sure to set the normal temperature condition (30±5℃) so that the temperature in the box will be at normal temperature when the machine is shut down, so as not to affect the freezing phenomenon caused by the low temperature in the box, and the window glass Fogging phenomenon.
The above is the content of the 6 maintenance methods for the constant temperature and humidity test chamber today. Thank you for your patience to read! If you want to know more about the constant temperature and humidity test chamber, you can contact the online customer service, we will be happy to serve you.

Restored contentEdit
I've restored the content of this page, which was changed to a redirect to Timeline ( While there is considerable overlap in terms of the links provided, History of Warcraft is an important source of lore, and we should have an article on it.--Aeleas 03:16, 6 January 2007 (EST)
There is no overlap, it's entirely the same (except chapter headings are removed as they aren't needed for the purpose of the wiki), thats why this page has become redundant as i summarized. Please don't revert it again.. --Zeal (talk - contr - web) 03:42, 6 January 2007 (EST)
Perhaps explaining the history and function of this page would be helpful. The various chapters of the History of Warcraft were copied to WoWWiki to make it easier to cite directly to a local mirror of this official source. If you take a look at what links here[1], you will find that this page is used as a reference on dozens of others. Many of the links are the chapters of the History of Warcraft themselves, and many others are works that are citing the History of Warcraft as an official source of lore. When clicking on the link to History of Warcraft, readers are given a description of what the History of Warcraft is and can see exactly what it contains.
While Timeline ( is very useful, the fact that it is summarized and reorganized means it is no longer a mirror of an official source, and therefore no longer appropriate to cite to. It also doesn't explicitly state what the History of Warcraft is, as this article does.
If a consensus can be shown that History of Warcraft isn't useful in it's current state, then I will concede that it should be deleted and redirected, but there is generally a presumption here against the deletion of an article when someone objects to it.--Aeleas 04:21, 6 January 2007 (EST)
So glad i'm going away this weekened.. There is never any reason to replicate an official and public source for the purpose of citation. Period. This article's previous state was flawed to begin with. It was a list of the events and linking to the articles. This is the same as a category. The linked pages are not using this page as an efficient citation, and WoWWiki should never be cited itself, only used a citation referance as all other citations are. It isn't a mirror of a source, it's a complete reformat, listing and disambiguation of the original source, something that isn't needed. The pages should all be citing the real source when citing. When linking, the Timeline provides the exact same resource, but better, than the existing page. The only thing that i would be willing to except as worthwhile content in relation to this article is an explanation of what it is and a link to the source, throw in a link to the category of the events too if desired. However, i don't feel it deserves this as it's so simplistic and the mere citation of it and looking at the source shows it already, which is what exists in the timeline.
I removed it, and redirected. I purposely left the talk page incase people felt otherwise. It really should be an opt-in article, not op-out. I find the concept of voting to remove it ridiculous. You don't see an article explaning what each section of the WoW official site is now do you? no, that's right, it's not what the wiki is for. If anything this should merely be in the citation index with a brief one sentenace explanation and source link, not an article itself. *breathe* --Zeal (talk - contr - web) 04:45, 6 January 2007 (EST)
We have several reproductions of official sources here, and have found them quite useful in the past. If you want to change that, then the relevant policy which endorses and encourages it, WoWWiki:Lore policy#Concise Articles and Source Text, will need to be voted on and revised. Until then, the 75 or so pages that link here are following the recommended policy.
Certainly not all sections of the WoW website have articles, but the ones that form important sources of lore, like Warcraft_Encyclopedia and History of Warcraft, do. --Aeleas 12:48, 6 January 2007 (EST)
I wasn't part of it being redirected, but I know the administrator Adys told him to get rid of the older topic due to redundant information.Baggins 13:12, 6 January 2007 (EST)

added some tables that had lower case and mixed case table names and column names. I extracted the 5 database files from the .odb file, as described above. Then, in MMA, I created a connection, exactly as above, and got the following results:
TableForm@SQLColumnNames[conn, "TestResults"]
quote = Last@FirstCase[info, {"IdentifierQuoteString", _}];
sqlcmd = StringJoin[{"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ", quote,
 "TestResults", quote}]
TableForm@SQLExecute[conn, sqlcmd]
sqlcmd = StringJoin[{"SELECT TOP 10 * FROM ",
 quote, "TestResults", quote,
 " ORDER BY ", quote, "ColumnNo2", quote}]
TableForm@SQLExecute[conn, sqlcmd]
(**
TestResults ColumnNo1
TestResults ColumnNo2
TestResults ColumnNo3
2
123 data-123 123.4
987 data-987 987.6
**)
The first SQLColumnNames[] lists the 3 table name / column name pairs. The table name for this query is "TestResults" and MMA recognizes the mixed case identifier. To access the data, we must put the mixed case identifiers in quotes.
The second command selects the appropriate quote character from the info variable, which is computed in the first section of code above.
The third command is a StringJoin[] that assembles an SQL command with quote characters on the table name. A simpler way to do this would be to embed \" in the string, but I didn't think of that until later. The fourth command in another SQLExecute[], with the result that there are 2 rows of data in the table.
The fifth command is another StringJoin[] that creates a second SQL command to access the data. In this second SQL the quotes are on both the table name and the column name. The column name is "ColumnNo2". The final SQLExecute[] executes the SQL command, which produces two lines of data from the table.
This same approach worked on a database table that had all lower case table names and column names. Because we must put that quote character on our mixed case identifiers, this method is a little messy. The simplest thing that works is to use all upper case identifiers, if possible.
Database Cleanup
When I closed the connection, I took a look at the file names that were left. I noticed MMA left behind one "tmp" directory and an "lck" file. Here's the MMA code that closed the database connection and showed me the new file and the new directory:
CloseSQLConnection[conn];
ColumnForm[FileNameTake[#, -1] & /@
 FileNames["db_137967*", NotebookDirectory[]]
]
(*
 db_137967.backup,
 db_137967.data,
 db_137967.lck,
 db_137967.log,
 db_137967.properties,
 db_137967.script,
 db_137967.tmp *)
So, that is about it. Some of it is a bit messy, but a shell script could greatly simplify the database extraction process. It would be nice to know how well this approach works with large data sets. Does the need to unzip the archive become an impediment?

 $\begingroup$ The key that was missing is that table names need to be upper-case. Great finding. I could reproduce your solution on an example DB. I put another bounty for you because of the nicely written answer. Thank you very much. $\endgroup$ – halirutan Mar 19 '17 at 11:44
 - $\begingroup$ Thank you very much from me as well! (Can confirm works exactly as you describe with Mma 11, LibreOffice/ Xubuntu-16, and that table names need to be UC (found out the hard way). In addition, on my system, LibreOffice Base was not installed by default $\endgroup$ – user1066 Mar 19 '17 at 19:07
 - $\begingroup$ Strangely(?), the SQLExecute command is case-insensitive as long as the table name is UC. SQLExecute[conn, "SELECT * FROM myProDucTs"] works as long as tname is MYPRODUCTS. In addition, changing a lowercase table name to uppercase in the your_db_name.script file (two entries) and starting a fresh Mathematica kernel works for me. (The table name may be changed to anything as long as it it UC). $\endgroup$ – user1066 Mar 21 '17 at 14:21

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) enhances the performance of catalysts and formulates new catalysts to improve production processes for the chemical and petro-chemical industries. Scientists also address the needs of manufacturers and users of emissions control catalysts. The SwRI staff performs catalysis research and development using its expertise in molecular-based modeling studies, catalytic reaction chemistry, pilot-scale processing, and process modeling.
SwRI conducts benchand pilot-scale studies in state-of-the-art catalyst laboratories with advanced instrumentation. The Institute also does computational process modeling and molecular simulations of catalytic processes.
Because SwRI neither manufactures nor endorses industrial products, all investigations are impartial. Client confidentiality is also protected. With 10 technical divisions and hundreds of fully equipped laboratories, SwRI uses a multidisciplinary approach to solve problems for major industries and small businesses.
Using its expertise in molecular-based modeling, SwRI studies the sorption, diffusion, selectivity, and energetics of molecules in zeolites and on surfaces. Modeling is a useful screening tool for experimental studies. SwRI capabilities in this field include:
Catalytic Reaction Chemistry
SwRI chemists develop a variety of catalysts and optimize catalytic activity. Bench-scale catalytic reactions are routinely performed under high temperatures and pressures. The staff also detects different chemical species during the catalysis process and studies their interactions with catalyst surfaces. Capabilities in catalytic reaction chemistry include:
SwRI uses a packed-bed pilot plant to accurately simulate industrial conditions for hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and reforming. A supercritical processing pilot plant is also available. SwRI offers:
The results of process modeling for new process proof-of-concept, unit operation selection, debottlenecking, or process improvement can be immediately tested in SwRI pilot plants. The tests use catalysts made at SwRI or use commercial catalysts under conditions prescribed by a process licensor. Process modeling calculations are made in real time to optimize catalyst conditions for particular feeds or conditions of new or existing equipment. The staff:

Recurrences of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following curative surgery are uncommon among patients with low-risk compared with intermediateor high-risk disease, researchers reported at the 2017 congress of the European Association of Urology in London. The percentage of potentially curable recurrences, however, is similar for all 3 risk groups.
Using the RECUR database, Saeed Dabestani, MD, of Lund University in Malmö, Sweden, and colleagues examined RCC recurrence patterns and management. The researchers assessed 1266 patients (mean age 65 years) who underwent surgery for localized RCC. After a median follow-up of 61.2 months, 252 patients (19.9%) experienced recurrence. In 119 cases (47.2%), the recurrence was potentially curable. Isolated local, solitary and oligometastatic (3 or fewer lesions at a single site) recurrences were considered curable by local therapeutic strategies.
The 5-year risk of recurrence for lowintermediate- and high-risk patients was 4.8%, 18.1%, and 46.3%, respectively, and the percentage of recurrences that were potentially curable was 51.6%, 50.7%, and 42.8%, respectively, Dr Dabestani's group reported in a poster presentation. The median time to recurrence was 41.6, 25.5, and 14.3 months, respectively. The time to recurrence was 23.8 months for potentially curable recurrences compared with 17.7 months for incurable patients. Curative intent treatment for recurrence was offered to 34.1%, 30.1%, 16.7% of patients in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, according to the researchers.
"More effort should perhaps be put into detecting recurrence in the intermediate and high risk groups as they harbor more patients with recurrences that are potentially curable," the investigators concluded.

This article states and (possibly) proves a fact that involves two finite groups of relatively prime order, requiring the additional datum that at least one of them is solvable. Due to the Feit-Thompson theorem, we know that for two finite groups of relatively prime orders, one of them is solvable. Hence, the additional datum of solvability can be dropped. However, the proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem is considered heavy machinery.

The second statement does not yet have a direct elementary proof; rather, there is a proof assuming that either or is solvable. However, a well-known corollary of the Feit-Thompson theorem tells us that this is always true.

Years of in-depth experience of handling challenging requirements has enabled us to develop some revolutionary products. These products use Unique Capacitive Mechanical Sensing Technology for making contacts which are patented by SBL.
Single Capacitive Switch with two Progressive Functions
series switches are not the commonly created ordinary switches albeit having looks similar to a mechanical push button. With features of the backlight and progressive functions, these switches are essentially capacitive switches. These switches use Unique Capacitive Mechanical Sensing Technology for making contacts which are patented by SBL. With this unique feature, it allows the user two separate progressive contacts in a single contact. It is primarily used in the medical industry, automobile, consumer electronics, test and measuring equipment etc.
Its potential application may include,
- Single button to control the car window movement up to a certain level, or fully open or fully close.
- In surgical instruments and electro-medical equipment where two actions are required in a single switch.
- A product which requires sustained or temporary power.
Rotary Encoder Using Capacitive Glide Sensing
capacitive rotary encoders look and feel like mechanical rotary encoder; however, instead of mechanical or optical sensing, they use mechanical guide type capacitive sensing. The capacitive encoder has shown incredible performance as it does not have any mechanical contact.
These easy-to-use products combine with Touch, Rotary wheel, position selector indicators and with SPI output for both ways interactive communication thus assisting product design engineers in various activities.
Like the single capacitive switch, capacitive encoders use Unique Capacitive Mechanical Sensing Technology which is patented by SBL. These encoders are suitable for consumer electronics, office automation etc. The industries such as medical, test and measuring equipment and consumer electronic preferably use capacitive encoders.

ACJV staff and Partners conducted a Saltmarsh Conservation Workshop, Sunday July 19 in Albany, New York in conjunction with the annual summer ACJV and Atlantic Flyway meetings. The intent of the workshop was to compile and assimilate information from throughout the Flyway regarding many facts of saltmarsh conservation efforts. The workshop provided summaries of more than 30 different research and monitoring efforts that can help guide work on the ground, and included presentations about regional efforts by the Saltmarsh Habitat and Avian Research Program (SHARP), the North & South Atlantic LCCs, National Audubon, and the Black Duck Joint Venture. Additionally, details about more than a dozen implementation priorities of ACJV partners were also presented. Also discussed was the Saltmarsh Conservation Business Plan currently being developed and how ACJV partners can provide quality input into that process. A "Proceedings" of this workshop is targeted for release by the end of August, and we will soon be setting up a website to share all the information from the workshop.
Other notable action items from this workshop were to establish a saltmarsh subcommittee within the ACJV Technical Committee structure, address coordinated monitoring efforts for high priority species in the Flyway, finds ways to expand the efforts of SHARP to the southeast portion of the ACJV, and to identify high priority implementation action for saltmarsh conservation. This effort has brought together partners from throughout the flyway to look at a more coordinated perspective of saltmarsh science needs, research and monitoring, and management activities to address sea level rise and continued loss of saltmarsh. Target species are the saltmarsh sparrow complex and secretive marsh birds, including the Black Rail and MacGillivray's Seaside Sparrow, which have recently been petitioned to be listed as threatened or endangered.

Concussion Management Information
BC HOCKEY / HOCKEY CANADA CONCUSSION POLICY & PROCESS
Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association is committed to protecting the health and safety of our athletes. Although we strive to prevent concussions, the reality is that they are part of the game. As a result, we have partnered with Strive Health and Performance (located in Coquitlam) and Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI, a Canadian-based, international research and concussion care organization). From initial pre-season baseline testing to concussion treatment and rehabilitation, CCMI practitioners are trained to provide standardized healthcare solutions to effectively manage concussions, and ensure that athletes safely Return to Learn, Work, and Play.
Please click on the + icons below to learn more
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes biochemical imbalances within brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, balance problems, and others. This includes "having your bell rung". Please watch the video below for more information about concussions

Here's the basic steps you'll need to folow:
First create a world object (i.e.
btDiscreteDynamicsWorld) to drive your physics simulation.
You should already have a class such as
GameObject that perhaps stores a model along with its bounding box and position/orientation in the world. Replace the position/orientation information with an instance of a physics body object (i.e.
btRigidBody) and when rendering the model, use the information provided by the body instead. When creating the body you'll need to provide its mass and collision shape which should match the bounding volumes you already have. I've talked about this in your other question too.
Add each of your game object's bodies to the world object.
Update the simulation by stepping the world (i.e. calling
stepSimulation on your world).
And take some time to read the manual as it has a lot of information too.
Edit to address comment
I cringe before I ask but... how do I do the very very basic stuff like simply including the right files in my game? If you need specifics I'm looking for the files that will deal with rigid body collisions. Also thank you very much for the help so far!
Well, it would appear from your comment that you've never worked with external C++ libraries before. It's been a while since I did this, but this is how I remember the process to be (in Visual Studio).
For starters I quote the manual which already explains what you need:
- _TAG_ "btBulletDynamicsCommon.h" in your source file
- Required include path: Bullet/src folder
- Required libraries: BulletDynamics, BulletCollision, LinearMath
And here's the basic steps you will have to follow to fulfill the conditions above...
1. Preparation Step
First of all, extract the file you downloaded into a known directory, e.g.
C:\Bullet. You'll need to know the path to this folder later.
Inside there are two folders that you will need to reference in your project. The first is the
src folder which holds the
.h header files that you will include in your source code. The second is the
lib folder which will hold the
.lib library files that you will link to your project. Notice that including and linking are two different things.
lib folder should be empty for now, because you haven't built the engine yet. So refer to the manual on how to build the project using CMake and Visual Studio for instance. It's on page 7.
After you succeed, you should have at least three files in the
LinearMath.lib (I am guessing from the manual). Now to make the connection between Bullet and your project...
2. Include Headers
First of all, you'll need to add the
C:\Bullet\src folder to your project's include path options. You can do so in Visual Studio by right-clicking on your project, navigating to
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories and writing the directory path in there.
After setting that up, you can simply do
_TAG_ "btBulletDynamicsCommon.h" on your code. That header seems to serve as an hub to all features you require.
3. Link Libraries
Finally you'll need to link the libraries mentioned above. Frist, under
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories add the path to the
lib folder, or in other words,
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input-> Additional Dependencies, add the name of the libraries to the list of dependencies. Separate each library with a
; and don't forget the file extension. So for instance, you might add this to the end of the list:
After this you should be able to build and run your project.

Grainne O'Toole: First thing all victims need is simply to be believed
The State can learn lessons from the British slave saga about how best to help people recover, writes Grainne O'Toole
AS the case of slavery in Britain unfolds, one of the most extraordinary elements being grappled with by the public and professionals alike is understanding the techniques of control used by the perpetrators over the three women that effectively kept them in this servitude for 30 years. The truth is that fear, isolation and hopelessness are the invisible chains used in modern-day slavery.
What distinguishes slavery from other forms of exploitation is the element of threat and control that is used by perpetrators to keep victims in a subservient position.
This threat can be in the form of psychological or physical abuse, or both. This results in the victim losing complete control of their own life. They no longer have freedom or autonomy.

The Theran Frescoes: A Tantalizing Glimpse of Atlantis
Thera was an island colony of the Minoan civilization of seafarers that was centered on the island of Crete, off the southern coast of Greece, and was the forerunner of classical Greek culture. Located on the island known today as Santorini, Thera was destroyed and buried when the island exploded in a catastrophic volcanic eruption around 1630 BC., an event that may have ultimately doomed the entire Minoan world, and which many scholars now believe gave rise to the legend of Atlantis. The buried city of Akrotiri was discovered on Thera in the early 1970's, and the Greek government began excavation. The work continues today, made difficult by overlaying volcanic ash as much as fifty feet deep in places. Fragments of beautiful wall murals such as this one, that I have named "Woman With a Necklace," have been found in many of the houses, and are being painstakingly reassembled in archaeological laboratories like large jigsaw puzzles (although, as this reconstruction shows, sometimes not all the pieces can be found). I have recreated some of these murals as they appear today in the Athens Museum of Archaeology. (For more information on Thera, see this website, and there are more links in the text beneath my Girl Gathering Crocus Flowers reproduction). As noted above, I also replicated the clothing shown in this and other Theran paintings and used it as the basis of my modern painting "Ariadne."
Unlike Egyptian, Hittite, and similar art of the time, which usually featured stiff, symbolic representations of humans and military themes, the Minoans painted light, natural, airy scenes of everyday life, showing flowers, birds, monkeys, and sea life such as octopi and leaping dolphins. In these paintings Minoan women wear elaborate jewelry and and colorful costumes that bare their breasts, as seen here. This girl wore a blouse of transparent fabric thousands of years before women of the Edwardian era put on similar garments (though not quite as revealing) to have their portraits painted by John Singer Sargent (see my reproductions of Sargent's paintings). In an interesting exercise in practical archaeology, I used modern sheer fabrics to recreate this blouse, along with an authentic Minoan skirt, and used the costume on a model to paint my illustration of the Greek legend of Ariadne.

Training resource for HIV and AIDS
Caption: education is key to stopping the spread of HIV and stigma
"The manual Pastoral Training and Responding to HIV and AIDS is the cornerstone of our work," said Tsielo Mpeqa, Director of Caritas Lesotho.
Caritas developed the manual to provide insights and guidelines to people of faith who are striving to develop a compassionate, effective and non-judgmental response to the pandemic.
Caritas Lesotho and Caritas USA (CRS) ran training courses in Lesotho using the manual, providing training first for 15 priests, who went out and trained another 180 Church leaders on HIV prevention, care and comfort.
Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy of about 12,000 square miles and two million people that is surrounded by South Africa. An estimated 30 percent or more of its people have HIV/AIDS.
The manual covers topics such as prevention, spread, social impact, emotional impact, response of the Church, and what activities parishes and ministries can carry out in response to the pandemic. It integrates factual, scientifically-based information and guidelines provided by such organisations as UNAIDS and World Health Organization with Catholic Church doctrine and pastoral reflection.
Mr Mpeqa said, "This has changed following the training. Priests visit people with HIV in their homes and talk about the virus in sermons. People living with HIV are encouraged to take part in services."
Christian Church leaders signed a declaration in front of the King and Prime Minister saying that they were committed to supporting people with HIV and AIDS. John Shumlansky, Caritas USA(CRS) representative in Lesotho, said, "Putting HIV in the pulpit every week has got people involved. It's really made a positive difference."
In countries like Lesotho with 90 percent Christians, the Church – and particularly local parishes and charitable organisations such as parish and diocesan Caritas – play a unique role in responding to HIV and AIDS.
One of the issues in the kingdom is multiple partnerships and the manual helps people address this issue and think about family values.
Caritas Lesotho and CRS now have plans to translate the manual to the local language and distribute it more widely. The ground work that has been laid so far has impressed donors to help fund the scheme.
"The manual has been a fantastic resource in the field," said Caritas Internationalis Secretary General Lesley-Anne Knight, "The manual provides church workers with comprehensible materials so they can educate believers at grassroots level to prevent the further spread of the virus and comfort and care for those support those affected by HIV."

text: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe themes of resilience in the expressions and behaviours of six-year-old children with regard to the mother-child relationship, where the mothers are infected with HIV&AIDS. Themes of resilience were investigated within the framework of positive psychology. A study of limited scope was conducted from a phenomenological paradigm. I followed a mixed method methodological paradigm based on a case study design. I purposefully selected eleven six-year-old participants whose mothers are infected with HIV&AIDS from a five-year randomised control trail study (Kgolo Mmogo). Qualitative data collection methods included the transcriptions of structured baseline interviews relating to the Kinaesthetic Family Drawing (KFD), as well as the KFD per se. I utilised the scores from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (Vineland) as uantitative data collection strategy. The transcriptions were analysed by means of an inductive thematic analysis. For the analysis of the KFD I developed and piloted a framework of analysis. The raw scores from the Vineland were compared with the appropriate age norms and compared with themes of resilience identified from the KFD as well as the transcripts of the interviews. I identified both internal and external resources of resilience. The findings of my study illustrate the presence of themes of resilience as well as non-resilience within the participants and the mother-child relationships. More factors of resilience (protective factors) than non-resilience (risk factors) were identified. Secondly, it seems possible to use the KFD with the Vineland when exploring resilience as insights from both mother and child participants are measured. The integrated results from the different data sources indicate that although the results of the KFD and the transcriptions did not correlate with the results obtained from the Vineland, the results from the different data sources supplement one another. The use of the KFD as a measure to generate data related to resilience made it possible to evaluate adaptation and resilience in a specific cultural context unlike the Vineland. The results from the data sources indicate resilience and/or non-resilience in the mother-child relationship in terms of three categories namely, protective factors (Expressive Language Skills, Interpersonal Relationships and Play and Leisure Time), risk factors (Coping Skills and Gross Motor Skills) and a balance between protective and risk factors (Receptive Language, Daily Living Skills, personal and domestic, as well as Fine Motor Skills). It is feasible to use the KFD as a measure to identify themes of resilience and non-resilience when the drawing is accompanied by an interview.

The diet soda and regular soda differ in the amount of solids (sugar/sugar substitute, soft drink ingredients, etc.) that are dissolved in the liquid. The amount of dissolved solids in a liquid will affect the liquids density. An object will become buoyant (float) when it is less dense than the liquid surrounding it. Buoyancy is simply an upward acting force caused by the fluid. Archimedes was the first person to dissect this phenomenon and stated what is now known as Archimedes' Principle "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."
Note that one packet of an artificial sweetener is approximately equal in sweetness to about three packets of sugar and the artificial sweetener weighs less. The regular soda has more solids (soft drink ingredients and sugar) dissolved in the liquid than the diet soda so it is denser than the water surrounding it in the aquarium causing it to sink, and the diet soda has less solids dissolved (soft drink ingredients and artificial sweetener) so it is less dense and floats.

Some patients may be more prone to sepsis than others, often because of a defect in their host defenses. It is important to recognize this group since management of the sepsis also requires addressing any comorbid conditions that make the patient more vulnerable. This article is part of our ongoing sepsis series and explores sepsis criteria for vulnerable patients, especially those:
- With a primary or acquired immunodeficiency
- With other comorbid conditions affecting host defenses
- With an intravascular catheter
- Who are critically ill in the ICU
Because these patients may have more frequent infections they often have a history of recent antibiotic therapy and contact with healthcare facilities. These factors place them at risk for infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria and Clostridium difficile. Medical calculators that can assist in diagnosis of sepsis for vulnerable patients are suggested for each of the four types of patients mentioned above.
An immunodeficiency places the patient at risk for frequent and recurrent infections, often with different organisms. Some patients are easy to diagnose based on history or medications, but some may go unrecognized for some time if an alternative explanation for the infections is available.
The host defenses may be affected by disorders affecting normal barriers (such as skin or mucosa) and the inflammatory response. In addition, the very young and very old may be unable to respond to a physiologic insult because of immature organ development or deteriorating organ function. The presence of severe or multiple comorbid conditions should be a clue warning the clinician to take extra precautions with the patient.

These devices break the skin barrier, act as a foreign body, and provide ready access of micro-organisms to the blood. For a patient with poor vascular access, there may be reluctance to remove an infected catheter, making the accurate diagnosis of a line infection important.

Admission to the ICU
A patient who has been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) may have many risk factors for sepsis, including multiple vascular lines, malnutrition and organ dysfunction. Diagnosis of sepsis may be delayed since the signs and symptoms may be masked or may overlap with the critical illness.

The possibility of infection with an antibiotic resistant bacteria needs to be considered in vulnerable patients with a history of antibiotic therapy or therapy at a healthcare facility. Antibiotic resistance organisms may not respond to standard antibiotic regimens, and therapy often must be guided by culture and susceptibility testing. A patient colonized with an antibiotic resistant organism may pose a threat to others.
Certain comorbid conditions make a person more susceptible to infections, including sepsis. The sooner that sepsis can be diagnosed the sooner effective therapy can be started. Success in managing sepsis often requires management of the predisposing factors. Medical algorithms can help to alert clinicians to these issues.

N-Sea Group has finished a series of benthic and geophysical surveys for Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2 floating offshore wind projects in the Celtic Sea.
N-Sea conducted the offshore surveys using its N-Sea Spirit vessel, establishing a baseline ground model which will be developed as the project matures, Floventis Energy said, the developer of the projects.
The surveys covered the offshore array area and export cable route corridor using geophysical and benthic habitat survey techniques.
The completion of the surveys is a step toward submitting a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2 floating offshore wind projects, the developer said.
The project sites are located off the Pembrokeshire coast, in the approaches to the Bristol Channel, approximately 40 kilometres offshore at depths averaging 60-70 metres.
The Llŷr and Llŷr 2 projects will have a capacity of 100 MW, respectively, and will each comprise six to eight next-generation wind turbines.
Once operational by 2027, the wind farms are expected to provide enough renewable electricity to power 200,000 homes in the region.
Floventis Energy, a joint venture between SBM Offshore and Cierco, was chosen to build the two floating wind projects in July 2021 in the Crown Estate's leasing opportunity for early commercial-scale floating wind projects in the Celtic Sea.

Loaner instrumentation is one of the most challenging aspects of sterile processing. The instruments keep getting more complicated; they arrive in huge batches, often without enough time for reprocessing—and all of this makes it hard to ensure patient safety and proper processing.
Today, we consider some of the common challenges that come with loaner instrumentation, as well as how a modern tracking system can help ensure that loaners are processed properly and only safe, sterile instrumentation is used.
Loaners: Why Do We Need Them?
It should come as no surprise that healthcare facilities routinely borrow instrumentation from vendors. There are a few key reasons for this: [1]
 - Cost: Instrumentation, especially complete sets of neurologic and orthopedic instruments, is often extremely expensive. Some facilities may lack the funds to purchase the instrumentation, or they may not do the procedures that require those instruments frequently enough to justify spending that kind of money.
 - State-of-the-art: As instrument technology develops, surgeons may request access to the latest instrumentation—which the facility may not have unless they request a loaner.
 - Too much demand: Even if a facility purchases one or more instrumentation sets, its caseload may outpace the SPU's ability to keep up, requiring that loaners be used to fill the gap.
For these reasons, loaner instrumentation won't be going away anytime soon—and neither will the following challenges.
Arriving on Time
Timely arrival of loaners into Sterile Processing is crucial. The Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) recommends that facilities assume every item delivered from the outside is contaminated—so every piece of loaner instrumentation needs to arrive with enough time to complete a full sterility assurance cycle.[3] Regardless of where the loaner items came from and whether or not they were sterilized at the previous facility, the receiving facility must properly decontaminate, assemble, and sterilize the loaner items.
AORN suggest an arrival time of 48 hours prior to the case start time to ensure adequate time not just for preparation and processing, but also to account for any special circumstances or problems, such as special cycle parameters or damaged instruments.[5]
A surgical instrument tracking solution can help enforce arrival time policies by requiring vendor representatives to identify themselves and their trays upon arrival and automatically placing a timestamp on the transaction. This data can then be pulled from the system by management to hold vendors accountable.
Critical Cleanliness
Before instrumentation can be sterilized or used on a patient, it must be clean—but as minimally invasive surgery becomes more common and instrumentation becomes more complex, cleaning instrumentation gets harder.[7] This is particularly true for orthopedic instrumentation, which is often composed of multiple, interlocking pieces which may move once assembled. Some tools can retain pathogens (such as the culprit behind staph infections) even after sterilization because of the way they're put together, so it's critical to follow the manufacturer's instructions—which should include any special reprocessing instructions.[8,9]
A surgical instrument tracking solution can help by providing an interface into instructions for use (IFU) solutions such as OneSOURCE, enabling staff to access IFU documentation on demand.[10]
Accurate Allocation
Loaners often take immediate precedence over other items in the reprocessing cycle,[11] and vendors can bring more sets than are necessary for just-in-case contingencies or evaluations, unnecessarily increasing the workload for the SPU. Any experienced sterile processing technician can attest to the frustration of processing 30 loaner trays for a total hip replacement, only to see 20 go unused. Not only does this waste time and energy, but it also wastes resources, in terms of sterilization tools and equipment and also in terms of the actual borrowed instrumentation.
A surgical instrument tracking solution can help by interfacing with the OR's surgical scheduling system, enabling technicians to make sure that the only loaners delivered and processed are for scheduled cases. LoanerLink, developed by Censis, goes even further by automating the ordering and check-in process for loaner instrumentation, helping ensure that only surgeon-requested loaner items are delivered, processed, and utilized.[13]
Sterility
Ironically or not, sterility presents the greatest challenge to the Sterile Processing Department when it comes to loaner instrumentation. IFUs should be kept available to staff, because loaner instrumentation sometimes requires special sterilization cycles. Here are a few variables that can impact sterilization processes:
 - Exposure times: Normal surgical instrumentation may only require four minutes of exposure, but loaner sets might require longer exposure times.[14] You might need to separate loaner instrumentation from regular sets and run additional sterilizer loads.
 - Weight of sets: If instrument sets are overweight, they could compromise sterility. Because of this, AAMI recommends a maximum loaner set weight of 25 pounds, including the sterile packaging.[15]
 - Implants: Implantable pieces further complicate sterilization processes—and are of particular concern with orthopedic and spine instruments. A single orthopedic small fragment set may have more than 300 implantable screws and plates, all of which must be thoroughly checked for cleanliness and damage, and properly monitored with a biological indicator to ensure sterility and patient safety.[16] They may also require special handling or processing as outlined in the manufacturer IFUs.
 - Complexity: Complex instruments must be disassembled before sterilization, and failing to do so may prevent them from being properly cleaned (as noted earlier) as well as prevent proper sterilization after assembly
A surgical instrument tracking solution can help by providing access to manufacturers' IFUs, prompting technicians with reminders and instructions for specific instruments or sets, and ensuring that loaner sets are processed according to the correct parameters and, if necessary, with a biological indicator.
Loaner instrumentation is a sterile processing reality that must be handled properly in order to ensure that patients receive quality care and optimal surgical outcomes. It's critical that facilities develop policies and procedures that address each of these challenges.

Take Control of Your Loaner Management


Posted by: Sue Loh
I've been working with one of our customers the last couple of days, and found that there were a few handy tips for using the Platform Builder debugger with Windows CE that I knew and they didn't. So I am sharing them here.
Uninstantiated Breakpoints
If you've ever tried to set a breakpoint, but gotten the pink-color uninstantiated circle (indicating that the breakpoint is not yet set) instead of the maroon-color circle (indicating that the breakpoint is set), the problem might be something like this:
 - Wrong source file: The code you set a breakpoint in isn't actually running.
 - Bad source path mapping: The binaries and PDBs you use contain strings indicating where the source code came from. But those strings are inserted when they are compiled. If you are trying to set a breakpoint inside of code that Microsoft compiled, then the strings will indicate a location that does not exist on your machine. The "source path mapping" is a mapping from the locations that are compiled-in to the code (eg. c:\SomeMicrosoftBuildMachine\foo\...) to the corresponding locations on your machine (eg. D:\WINCE500\bar\...) If you have ever had Platform Builder ask you for a source location when you tried to set a breakpoint, it's probably a source path mapping question. If your source path mapping is wrong for the file you set the breakpoint in, or if PB gets confused about it somehow, then it may not understand properly that the code you're looking at is the code that's running on the device.
 - Bad symbols: The PDB files in your release directory don't match the EXEs or DLLs that are running on the device. Usually this results in the breakpoint being set in some random other location in the code.
 - Common issue #1: you built the.exe or.dll more
 recently than the.pdb. This can happen if you rebuild while debugging;
 Platform Builder will hold the.pdb open and the compiler won't be able to
 overwrite the.pdb. Fix by rebuilding while you are not debugging the
 - Common issue #2: you built the.pdb more recently than the.exe or
 .dll. Usually this happens if it's a file in ROM and you forgot to re-run
 makeimg. Or if you rebuilt the.exe/.dll but the old version is still
 running on the device.
 - At worst, all of these problems can be fixed by
 disconnecting from the device, rebuilding, re-running makeimg, and
 reconnecting. But as you get familiar with how the tools work you should be
 able to figure out quicker ways of working.
 - Optimizations: The code is optimized (= release build) and the source line with the pink breakpoint doesn't
 map to code the debugger understands. In this case you might have to switch to a disassembly window, examine the disassembly and place your breakpoint using that window. Or build a debug version of your code, so that the
 optimizations don't confuse the debugger.
 - Module not loaded: The breakpoint cannot be instantiated until the code is actually loaded. So if the DLL or EXE is not loaded, the breakpoint will stay pink. When the DLL or EXE is loaded it should become maroon.
 - Breakpoint is pending: The debugger only instantiates breakpoints while the device is stopped for debugging. Not while the device is running. Our debugger doesn't stop the device from running in order to add the breakpoint when you set it. Instead it waits until you break into the debugger before setting the breakpoint. PB also breaks into the debugger automatically for a very brief time whenever a DLL or EXE is loaded or unloaded. So you may find that the breakpoint becomes instantiated when that happens.
 - Debugger is not connected: Try running "s loaddbg" in the target control window. That will load debugger DLLs and connect the PB debugger. To run that, you will need: loaddbg.exe and kd.dll, and if present in your release directory you'll need hd.dll, osaxst0.dll and osaxst1.dll. You can also get the debugger to start automatically during boot if you make sure that the IMGNODEBUGGER flag is not set before you make a new image.
 - Flash ROM: You can't debug ROM. By that I mean, if your image is running directly from flash ROM, the debugger can't edit the ROM to insert your breakpoint. A breakpoint is just a replacement of the existing code with a call to stop in the debugger, so if the debugger can't edit the code it can't insert the breakpoint. You can debug if your image is running from RAM, or if your.dll or.exe is running from RAM (which is generally true if it's not in the MODULES section of ROM).
 - If the modules you are trying to debug are built with VS2005, there is a QFE to Platform Builder 5.0 to support VS2005 symbols. The update is in the 2005 update package at You can also just copy msobj71.dll into "Program Files\Windows CE Platform Builder\5.00\CEPB\BIN".
Breakpoints without source
You can set a breakpoint even if you don't have the source code to set it on. If you know the exact function name and module name you can use the breakpoint window to break on function entry. In the View menu, go to Debug Windows / Breakpoint List. You can also get there by clicking the "hand" icon on the debug toolbar or by hitting ALT + 9. In the breakpoint window, create a new breakpoint using this syntax:
 {,,modulename} function_name
That's an open curly-brace, two commas, module name, close curly-brace, function name. You can use this for EXEs or DLLs. For example:
 {,,nk.exe} SC_QueryPerformanceCounter
 {,,pm.dll} PlatformSetSystemPowerState
This syntax is not actually specific to breakpoints. It's just a way to tell the debugger that a symbol is specific to a module. For example if you want to look at a global variable in the Watch window, you can use this syntax there too. For example you could type {,,nk.exe}CurMSec in the Watch window to see that global variable inside the kernel.
By setting a breakpoint on a symbol instead of a source file line, you use only the PDBs to set the breakpoint. There is no dependency on having the right source file or source path mapping.
Don't just guess random function names when using this method though. OS APIs often have prefixes and postfixes that differ from their official names (eg. the implementation of CreateFile is FS_CreateFileW) and may be completely different (eg. for some reason the implementation of DeleteAndRenameFile is called FS_PrestoChangoFileName... I like that one :-) ). You can search the.map files in your release directory to get clues about what the API names are.
The other useful thing about the breakpoint window is that you can see if your breakpoint changes are pending. Like I mention above, if you set (or unset) a breakpoint while the target device is still running, the change will not occur until you stop in the debugger.
Other tips
If you have a bunch of breakpoints set you may notice that your device is running slower. Every time a DLL or EXE is loaded the debugger does work to figure out if it needs to instantiate a breakpoint inside the module. Unfortunately from my experience, deactivating the breakpoints does not help. I don't know why. You would have to completely delete the breakpoints in order to get back to normal speed. My advice is not to do that though. Delete breakpoints when you're totally done with them, but don't let debugger speed put you into the habit of setting & deleting breakpoints left and right. Slower speed is better than having to redo some debugging because you forgot to set something.
Happy debugging...

Since our founding in 1969, National Taxpayers Union (NTU) has proudly served as the "Voice of America's Taxpayers." Our mission: to achieve favorable legislative outcomes using the most powerful, effective pro-taxpayer lobbying team on Capitol Hill and in the states.
Let's face it—the Tax Code is a complicated mess. Our research shows that it takes over 6 billion hours each year for individuals and businesses to comply with the Code. That saps well over $200 billion from our economy annually. We need sweeping tax reform to make this system both fair and comprehensible for the folks who pay those taxes. And real reform means not just simplifying the Code, but also reducing tax burdens on families and job-creating businesses.
At NTU, taxes are just the beginning. After all, the excessive spending and debt that politicians have racked up in recent years will have to be paid by future taxpayers. That's why NTU is fighting to reduce spending today, so tomorrow's generations won't face higher taxes or lower living standards.
We cannot ignore the role that Big Government has played in reducing economic growth and job creation. NTU works to roll back unnecessary regulations to help promote a thriving free enterprise system and a strong entrepreneurial spirit.
We here at NTU promise to fight for taxpayers, so as to ensure that all Americans are able to pursue their dreams without the heavy hand of government holding them back.


','July','August', 'September','October',
'November', 'December') AS month_order
FROM your_table
ORDER BY month_order;
This snippet instructs MySQL to allocate numbers 1-12 for January through December respectively. Now when you run your query, the results will be ordered chronologically just as you'd hoped!
However, it's worth noting that there are other potential pitfalls lurking around corners. For instance:
Now that I've armed you with some knowledge and handy code snippets, go forth and conquer those databases! Remember, there's always a solution waiting to be found for every challenge in the realm of MySQL.
Conclusion: Key Takeaways on Ordering by Month in MySQL
So, we've reached the end of our journey into ordering data by month name in MySQL. I hope you've found the ride informative and are now equipped with some new SQL skills under your belt.
Let's revisit some key points:
Here's an example code again for reference:
SELECT * FROM YourTable
ORDER BY FIELD(MONTHNAME(yourDate),'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June',
'July','August','September','October','November','December');
A common mistake is trying to order directly using MONTHNAME(), which would result in an alphabetical arrangement and not chronological.
-- Incorrect Ordering
SELECT * FROM YourTable
ORDER BY MONTHNAME(yourDate);
Remember, practice makes perfect! So don't shy away from experimenting with different data sets and queries. As long as you're mindful of these key takeaways, I'm confident you'll master ordering by month name in MySQL before you know it. Happy querying!

The city of Coos Bay has drafted an ordinance to allow wind turbines in town.
The World of Coos Bay reports that turbines have been under a moratorium, but the city plans to take public comment in early 2013.
The draft ordinance would allow turbines no higher than 70 feet - industrial wind turbines are more than 250 feet.
For large turbines, residents would have to show that noise would be minimal, viewsheds would not be disturbed and that the device would meet tough safety standards. Restrictions would be reduced for smaller devices.
An Oregon State University expert tells the paper that urban settings aren't generally favorable for turbines: Both wind speed and elevation are low.

Mobile robots are beginning to move out of the lab and into real environments [Roman, 1991]. However, as the convenience of a laboratory is left behind, development, debugging, site-installation, and end-user operation are becoming more difficult. While in the laboratory, many mobile robot developers use tethers to link the onboard computer to a convenient desktop monitor and keyboard.
This paper presents the design and implementation of a Wireless Development System (WDS) for mobile robots. The WDS has unique features that can greatly facilitate the development and debugging process for mobile robots. In experimentation with mobile robots, a development cycle usually consists of two parts: run-time, and what we call "debug-time." Debug-time is the portion of the development cycle in which the experimenter modifies and compiles the software that controls the functions of the mobile robot. Then, during run-time, the robot is actually moving while the experimenter evaluates the effects of the software modifications. The described WDS provides a wireless user-interface for both components of the development cycle, allowing the experimenter full interaction with the onboard computer from a stationary location. The paper provides information on the three main components of the WDS: One component is a radio control-to-computer interface for wireless joystick operation. This interface is inexpensive, independent of the type of onboard computer, and provides important safety features. The second component is the wireless computer-computer interface, which is specifically designed for IBMPC type computers. The optional third component of the WDS provides graphical video feedback from the onboard computer during run-time.
