This page explains how to use audit logging in your Kubernetes Engine clusters.
All Kubernetes-powered clusters have Kubernetes Audit Logging, which keeps a chronological record of all calls that have been made to the Kubernetes API server in that cluster. These logs are useful for investigating suspicious API requests, for collecting statistics, or for creating monitoring alerts for unwanted API calls.
Kubernetes Engine clusters integrate Kubernetes Audit Logging with Cloud Audit Logging on Google Cloud Platform, which lets you access the audit log information through Stackdriver Logging. The most important audit logs are exported automatically at no charge. If you need to audit all requests to your cluster's Kubernetes API server, you must enable Data Access logs for Kubernetes Engine in Cloud Audit Logging.
Before you begin
- Ensure you have an active cluster.
- Read about Kubernetes Audit Logging.
Accessing Audit Logs
You can locate and view your cluster's audit logs by using Google Cloud Platform Console
or by using the
gcloud command-line tool.
To view audit logs for your cluster, perform the following steps:
In the GCP Console, navigate to Logging.
Select the Logs view.
- From the drop-down menu, select Kubernetes Cluster and your cluster name.
You can view audit log records about specific resources by using the
logging read command in the
For example, to view audit log records about Deployment resources created on your cluster, use the following command:
gcloud logging read'resource.type="k8s_cluster" AND protoPayload.methodName:"deployments.create"'
Stackdriver log entries are associated with monitored resource and service
types. For Kubernetes Engine audit
logs, the resource type is
Kubernetes Cluster, defined by a
Audit logs are structured objects consisting of an
operation subobject and a
operation specifies a request that the audit log event
belongs to, and the
protoPayload contains the audit log entry itself,
response objects (if applicable).
Once you've accessed your audit logs, you can use Stackdriver's filtering syntax to find the relevant logs you want. Some useful filters include:
To display all requests with failed authorization:
To display all write requests to a Secret resource:
resource.type="k8s_cluster" protoPayload.methodName:"io.k8s.core.v1.secrets" NOT protoPayload.methodName:"get" NOT protoPayload.methodName:"list" NOT protoPayload.methodName:"watch"
To display all requests to a Pod resource from a particular user:
resource.type="k8s_cluster" protoPayload.methodName:"io.k8s.core.v1.pods" protoPayload.authenticationInfo.principalEmail="_EMAIL_"
Other Stackdriver Features
You can use any of Stackdriver's logging features to perform common and useful tasks with your Kubernetes Engine cluster's audit logs. These might include:
- Setting up a log metric for a given filter
- Creating a Stackdriver alert policy based on a log metric
- Export your cluster's audit logs to a service such as Cloud Storage, BigQuery, or Cloud Pub/Sub.
The Kubernetes audit policy determines what audit log data is exported from the Kubernetes API server.
For read requests such as
watch, only the request object is
saved in the audit logs; the response object is not. For requests involving
sensitive data such as
ConfigMap, only the metadata is exported.
For all other requests, both request and response objects are saved in audit
Kubernetes omits certain high-volume calls made by system services. For complete information on which calls the Kubernetes audit policy includes or omits from the logs, see the latest audit policy configuration in the open-source Kubernetes repository.

Year of Project: 2012
Name of Project: Arkansas ReLeaf
Number of Trees to be Planted: 0
Project Name: Arkansas ReLeaf
Number of Trees: 150
American Forests paired with Arkansas Releaf to help the city of Marmaduke, which has been impacted by natural disasters. Marmaduke was hit by a tornado in 2011 — two years after it was devastated by an ice storm — costing the city much of its tree canopy. To restore the lost trees, Arkansas Releaf held a planting event for Arkansas' official Arbor Day. Twenty-nine large trees were planted throughout one of Marmaduke's parks to help provide immediate shade. A hundred smaller trees were distributed to community members, and 500 pine seedlings were presented to a local Boy Scout troop to plant. This project aimed to not only help restore the tree canopy of Marmaduke, but educate community members on different tree species, selection and placement.

12 Arabic words and expressions used in French
7 February 2019
Coffee and breakfast
By Selma Daddi
French has often picked up words from other languages – including plenty from Arabic.
These words come from France's long history of colonisation in North Africa, especially Algeria, and immigration from these countries.
Here we have a look at 12 common Arabic words used every day in France.
One of the most popular is caoua (also written kawa). In Arabic it is written qahwa and it means coffee.
Then, toubib (which means doctor) comes from the word tbib which French soldiers learned from Algerian people during the colonisation.
When speaking about money, you can also say flouse (sometimes written flouze). It comes from fulūs in arabic, which was originally an old currency.
You may already have heard "je fais fissa!" which means I am doing something quickly. This expression was used by North-African soldiers in the 19th century and became a French expression. It comes from the arab fī l-sāa which means on time.
Maboul(e) is also a very common word which comes from mahbul in Arabic and means crazy.
Casbah or kasbah is used to say home today - (Je rentre à la casbah means je rentre à la maison) – but actually refers to the centre of a town. It was also used for old fortresses in the Arab world.
If you speak about the bad behaviour of someone, you could call him a sheitan (also written cheitan). This word originally comes from Ethiopia and refers to Satan and bad spirits but generally means devil in French.
Juste un chouia" you might often hear. Pronounced chouya, the word was taken from the Maghreb where people use it to say 'a little'. It is a synonym of un peu in French.
Walou is another word we took from Arabic which means nothing (rien). This word was notably used by the Berbers and Algerian people.
Kif-kif means the same. For example, if someone asks you if you prefer to go right or left and you reply "c'est kif-kif", it means it does not matter, it is all the same. Some people might also say "c'est kif-kif bourricot"bourricot meaning little donkey. Kif was again used by Algerian people and means like or as (comme).
You can also call a dog clebs which comes from the Arabic word kelb also meaning dog. As we are speaking about slang, a very common negative expression used by young people is meskine (masculine) or meskina (feminine). These expressions are Arabic and are exclamations used to refer to someone in a sad or poor situation who inspires pity to others – an equivalent in French would be le (or la) pauvre!
As well as these more recent borrowings there are many words borrowed into French centuries ago which you might be surprised to know come from Arabic, such as alcool (alcohol), sucre (sugar), sofa, cabas (basket, bag) or douane (customs).

text: In Nigeria, religious intolerance between Muslims and Christians continues to increase. Muslim women are among those who have felt the most impact from the resulting religious prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination, especially in their workplaces. While many studies have been conducted to investigate the myriads of challenges facing women in general and Muslim women in particular, little research has been done on the challenges they face in their workplaces. This study intends to fill this gap by studying Female Muslim Medical Practitioners (FMMP) at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. Purposive and snowball samplings were used to select seventy research participants. Face-to-face and in-depth individual interviews, which lasted between 30 minutes and three hours each, were used to collect data for the study, in which relevant statistical tests were used for data analysis. The study reveals that FMMPs in the hospital encounter several challenges, such as donning the hijab (the Muslim headscarf), performing daily prayers (salat), and employment opportunities. There is also evidence of high-level discrimination in the workplace. Finally, the study recommends that the management of UCH enhance its practice and policies regarding religious tolerance, equality, fairness, unity, and cooperation amongst its administrative staff and personnel.

Superkilen, designed by BIG, TOPOTEK 1 and SUPERFLEX, is a kilometer-long urban space wedged within one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighbourhoods in Denmark. The wedge (in Danish: kilen) is structured along three spatial zones (red, black and green) and is populated by 108 objects and 11 trees from around the world.
Since its inception, Superkilen has been widely and controversially debated. The book invites readers behind the scenes of its making through the reflections of its main protagonists. It discusses the implications of the project in relation to changes in the conception of public space and to the increasing expectations connected to public investments nowadays. It places emphasis on urban planning, modes of participation, collaboration and conflicts, and discusses the possibilities of a shared, yet heterogeneous space.
By providing firsthand and background information about Superkilen, the book aims to further stimulate public discourses on the project, encouraging reflection and action in equal measure.

Intrinsic properties are properties of an object that could exist in the object even if it were the only thing in the universe.
Mass, for example, is an intrinsic property. An object's mass does not change based on what is sitting next to it, or who is looking at it. Other intrinsic properties may include, depending on your exact definitions, things like complexity, roundness (an intrinsic property of circles), evil (the devil) and goodness (God), and existence (me). In some cases, it may also include things like 'value', for example, a human life may be said to have intrinsic value, apart from whatever extrinsic value it may also produce.
Weight, on the other hand, is an extrinsic property -- weight needs gravity, and does depend on what is sitting next to it (e.g. the moon or the Earth or the sun).

How to Deal with Crowd Noise
Crowd noise can be a big challenge for road teams. Some stadiums and arenas can be very loud, making it hard to hear and communicate with your teammates. It can also be intimidating, which can negatively affect your emotions. As an athlete, you need to know how to deal with crowd noise so you can maintain peak performance.
The first thing you can do to deal with crowd noise better is to simply prepare for it. This is why many teams practice with artificial crowd noise during the week before a big road game. This gets players used to the noise so it doesn't bother them as much on game day. It also gives them the chance to improve their communication skills. This is very important because when the crowd is loud, you need to talk loud so your teammates can hear you clearly. You don't want to waste time repeating yourself, and you especially don't want any miscommunication. If you can do this, then you'll deal with the crowd noise quite well.
However, this isn't all that is needed. You also have to be able to emotionally cope with the crowd noise. You can't let the crowd distract, intimidate, or frustrate you. You have to learn how to focus on the task at hand and remain calm. Do not take the noise personally. It can help to think of the noise as neutral, meaning it isn't for you or against you. Or, during certain moments, you can pretend that the crowd is cheering for you, and use it to pump you up. You can also be motivated to "silence the crowd." Perhaps my biggest tip is to remember that the crowd noise is just noise. It shouldn't be able to affect your performance that much. YOU control your performance, not the people in the crowd. Focus just on you and your execution, and block out the crowd as best as you can.
If you prepare for crowd noise, get used to it, improve your communication skills, and improve your mental toughness and coping skills, then you'll be able to perform well even in the loudest stadiums and arenas!

Supabase
Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative. It uses PostgreSQL as the underlying storage system, and therefore can be integrated with RisingWave seamlessly.
You can ingest data from Supabase into RisingWave, and sink data from RisingWave to Supabase.
We have an end-to-end demo to showcase how Supabase users can seamlessly integrate RisingWave to enhance the product with stream processing capabilities.
This guide provides a simplified integration between RisingWave and Supabase, focusing on a social media monitoring scenario.
Throughout this guide, we will cover the following tasks:
 - Ingesting user information and post data from Supabase into RisingWave.
 - Calculating real-time results for recent posts, such as the number of posts sent by users.
 - Sinking the real-time results from RisingWave back to Supabase.
Prerequisites
 - Install and connect to RisingWave. For details, see Get started.
 - Create a new Supabase project. See Supabase docs for details.
Create Supabase tables and enable table replication
First, let's create two tables in Supabase. The users table stores user information, and the posts table stores posts sent by users.
Supabase tables
Make sure the data replication of these two tables are enabled. To learn about data replication for Supabase tables, see Replication.
Enable table replication in Supabase
Ingest data into RisingWave
Then, we can use the PostgreSQL CDC connector to replicate data from Supabase to RisingWave.
To ingest data into RisingWave in real time, you need to create two tables with connector settings in RisingWave:
First table
CREATE TABLE users (
id int8,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
name string,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
)
WITH (
connector='postgres-cdc',
hostname = 'db.xxxxxx.supabase.co',
port = '5432',
username = 'postgres',
password = 'xxxxxx',
database.name = 'postgres',
schema.name = 'public',
table.name = 'users',
publication.name = 'rw_publication' -- Database Replications name in Supabase
);
Second table
CREATE TABLE posts (
id int8,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
user_id int8,
content string,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
)
WITH (
...... -- same as above
);
Calculate real-time results
With data ingested into RisingWave, real-time data calculations can now be performed using materialized views. Materialized views in RisingWave enable incremental computations, ensuring that the latest results are obtained whenever the materialized view is queried.
Get the most recent posts
The following SQL statement creates a materialized view in RisingWave to get the most recent 100 posts.
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW recent_posts AS (
SELECT name, content, posts.created_at as created_at FROM posts
JOIN users ON posts.user_id = users.id
ORDER BY posts.created_at DESC LIMIT 100
);
The following SQL statement creates a materialized view in RisingWave to get the daily trending hashtags.
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW hot_hashtags AS WITH tags AS (
SELECT
regexp_matches(content, '#\w+', 'g') AS hashtag,
created_at
FROM posts
)
SELECT
hashtag,
COUNT(*) AS hashtag_occurrences,
window_start
FROM
TUMBLE(tags, created_at, INTERVAL '1 day')
GROUP BY
hashtag,
window_start;
Get the number of posts sent by users
The following SQL statement creates a materialized view in RisingWave to get the number of posts sent by users.
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW user_posts_cnt AS (
SELECT
users.id AS user_id,
COUNT(posts.id) AS cnt
FROM posts JOIN users ON users.id = posts.user_id
GROUP BY users.id
);
Sink real-time results to Supabase
While RisingWave can directly serve real-time results, you may prefer to process these results in Supabase for further analysis.
You can use the JDBC connector to sink data from RisingWave to Supabase.
Let's sink the real-time result of the number of posts sent by users to Supabase.
Before we create the sink in RisingWave, we need to create the destination table user_posts_cnt in Supabase. The schema looks like this:
new table for sink in supabase
After the table is created, we can now run the following statement in RisingWave to sink the result to the Supabase table we just created.
CREATE SINK supabase_user_posts_cnt
FROM user_posts_cnt WITH (
connector='jdbc',
jdbc.url='jdbc:postgresql://db.xxxxxx.supabase.co:5432/postgres?user=postgres&password=xxxxxx',
table.name = 'user_posts_cnt',
type = 'upsert',
primary_key= 'user_id'
)
Once the sink is successfully created, you should be able to see the results in Supabase. Try adding new rows to the users and posts table, and you will see the results in user_posts_cnt are updated in real time.

I got the error
cannot implicity convert type 'System.Linq.IQueryable' to 'EntityNetimoveis.San_Imovel' An Explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

The type of im is an IQueryable because you are running a where query and there might be more than one result. If you want the first result matching your query you should use.FirstOrDefault(). Try changing you code as:
EntityNetimoveis.San_Imovel im = db.San_Imovel.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10);
If you want to return more than one entity and process them, lets say using a foreach loop, then you need to change the type of the return value to IEnumerable. See the following example:
IEnumerable ims = db.San_Imovel.Where(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10);
The you can use the following:
foreach(var im in ims) {
 // your code goes here
share|improve this answer
But I need more than one result, can be millions of registers that has a.Credenciada_Id == 10. I need to save this in Entity.San_Imovel and then I need to do a ForEach. How can I perform this? – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:57

If the lambda can return more than one record:
var imList = db.San_Imovel.Where(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10).ToList();

I have to return all register in my database that has the column Credenciada_Id equals 10. Can be millions of registers, so I need to put in San_Imovel all these registers, and then I'll do a Foreach – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:55
Is SingleOrDefault supported in Linq-To-Enitities? – Tim Schmelter Aug 24 '12 at 13:55

Exists, but I need to return more then one result. – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:58
_USER_ The expression Massimiliano is using will return a List. Theoretically, you could leave off the.ToList part and you'd have a IQueryable, which implements IEnumerable. Both methods will give you more than one result if more than one result exist. – villecoder Aug 24 '12 at 14:00

Preparation and Characterization of Lanthanum Self-Assembled Nano-Films
Lanthanum (La) nano-films prepared by a self-assembled technique on a silicone-based material surface, was studied by using an all-round functional Turbiscan LAB stability analyzer and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) as well as atomic force microscope (AFM). La content introduced in the assembled nano-film reached a maximum at pH value between 5 and 6. In the preparation of colloidal sol, no phase separation took place at 60 °C where the colloidal particles uniformly and stably dispersed in the solution. The optimum topographic feature was observed after 24 hours, whence self-assembled process was performed. The particle dispersion of the assembled film was uniform and compact at the optimum EDTA to La molar ratio 0.5.

Game Type: Group game
Age: All ages
Number of Teams: 0
Playing Area: large indoor space or outdoor
Equipment or Supplies: Fruit or pictures of fruit
Object of Game: To stay out of the middle.
HOW TO PLAY FRUIT BASKET TURNOVER:
Each member of the group will pick a fruit. There can be no repeats. For the remainder of the game, that person will be known for his/her fruit. One student will go in the middle. Someone in the middle will start the game. The person in the middle will try to tag the fruit that was called upon before they can call on someone else. If they do, the tagged student will switch places with him.
STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS:
- All students will sit in a circle. Going around the circle, each student will pick a fruit.
- One student will go into the center.
- The play will start with the youngest student. The student will begin by saying the name of their fruit, then someone else's fruit. (EX, if the student is "Watermelon", she might say, "Watermelon Kiwi.")
- The person she called on will then have to call someone else's fruit. (EX. "Kiwi Orange". Now it's orange's turn).
- The person in the middle will try to tag one of the players before he/she can call on another fruit.
- If she does, the two players switch places. The person that was in the middle starts the game.
FRUIT BASKET TURNOVER is a fun game to be playing while teaching about the importance of spiritual fruits. Below are a few examples
- Matthew 7:15-20 – Jesus teaches that people know You by your fruit
- Galatians 5:22-23 – The fruit of the Spirit


text: The development of complex and dependable systems like autonomous vehicles relies increasingly on the use of systems modeling language (SysML). In fact, SysML has become a de facto standard for systems engineering. With model-driven engineering, a SysML model serves as a reference for the early defect detection of the system under design: the earlier the errors are detected, the less is the cost of handling the errors. Mutation testing is a fault-based technique that has recently seen its applications to SysML behavioral models (e.g., state machine diagrams). Specifically, a system's state-transition design can be fed to a model checker where mutants are automatically generated and then killed against the desired design specifications (e.g., safety properties). In this paper, we present a novel approach based on process mining to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the SysML mutation testing based on model checking. In our approach, the mutation operators are applied directly to the state machine diagram. These mutants are then fed as traces into a process mining tool and checked according to the event logs. Our initial results indicates that the process mining approach kills more mutants faster than the model checking method.

Purpose of reg(RegisterLogic1)?

What are they for and what can I do with them?
I looked at the MIDI Mapping for the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 and it seems like they just light up an LED when a Button is pressed.
Thanks a lot!
Re: Purpose of reg(RegisterLogic1)?
PostPosted: 24 Apr 2019, 18:48

With MIDI mapping you have the ability to assign more than one command to a button or knob.
Most MIDI commands in Cross have of course the command in the input section and an output in the output section to light up and LED. However, there are some command that do not have and output section but you may still want to light up and indicator in your controller to let you know that something is active or to light up when a specific value is activated in Shift logic selector.
Let us assume (not true) that the Play/Pause command did not have an output to light up the Play button in your controller but you still want an indication when play is active.
In that case you would map the Play/Pause button to the correct address and channel and would also map a Registerlogic command to that button.
Know you can map an output to the registerlogic command that would light up the LED.
Another example.
Shift logic commands have output capability, when you use ModShiftLogic you can assign for a specicic LED to come on when the selected ModShiftLogic is active.
That is not the case with the Shift Logic selector,. It has no output.
So you can't tell when a specific value for shift logic is active.
So know let us assume that you have two buttons assigned to activate the Shift selector to value 1 and the other button to Shift selector value 2.
After mapping they are functional but give no indication of which one is active.
So to get and indication you would map Register logic 1 along with Shift Selector value 1 and Register logic 2 along with Shift Selector value 2.
Know map the output of Register logic one and 2 to the desired LED.
End results is that you mapped Shift Selector commands (that have no indicator output) to perform the function. And Register Logic command (which have output) to give you the desired indication when a specific Shift selector value is active.
Hope that helps

text: To accurately calculate light fluence rate distribution in prostate photodynamic therapy (PDT), optical heterogeneity has to be taken into account. Previous study has shown that a kernel based on analytic solution of the diffusion equation can perform the calculation with accuracy comparable to Finite-element method. An assumption is made that light fluence rate detected at a point in the medium is affected primarily by the optical properties of points (or elements) on the line between the source and the point. The exponential decay term of the light fluence rate is expressed as an integral of effective attenuation coefficient of each point along the line. The kernel method is first developed for a point source and then extended for a linear source. A linear source is considered being composed of multiple point sources and light fluence rate is summation of the fluence rates generated by the point sources. In this study, we have implemented a fast ray-trace algorithm to substantially speed up the calculation. The kernel calculation is compared with FEM calculation and is examined with light fluence rate measurements. The examination with clinical measurement data shows that calculated fluence rates present similar features in distribution as the measurement, with errors of 30%-70% for the peak fluence rates. We concluded that our heterogeneous algorithm is potentially valuable for light fluence rate optimization during interstitial PDT.


Introducing dspec
With all the recent focus on baseline grids, keylines, and spacing markers from Android's material design, I found myself wondering how I could make it easier to check the correctness of my Android UI implementation against the intended spec.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could easily provide the spec values as input and get it rendered on top of your UI for comparison? Enter dspec, a super simple way to define UI specs that can be rendered on top of Android UIs.
Design specs can be defined either programmatically through a simple API or via JSON files. Specs can define various aspects of the baseline grid, keylines, and spacing markers such as visibility, offset, size, color, etc.
Baseline grid, keylines, and spacing markers in action.
Baseline grid, keylines, and spacing markers in action.
Given the responsive nature of Android UIs, the keylines and spacing markers are positioned in relation to predefined reference points (e.g. left, right, vertical center, etc) instead of absolute offsets.
The JSON files are Android resources which means you can easily adapt the spec according to different form factors e.g. different specs for phones and tablets. The JSON specs provide a simple way for designers to communicate their intent in a computer-readable way.
You can integrate a DesignSpec with your custom views by drawing it in your View's onDraw(Canvas) method. But the simplest way to draw a spec on top of a view is to enclose it in a DesignSpecFrameLayout—which can take an designSpec XML attribute pointing to the spec resource. For example:
<DesignSpecFrameLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 app:designSpec="@raw/my_spec">
 ...
</DesignSpecFrameLayout>
I can't wait to start using dspec in some of the new UI work we're doing Firefox for Android now. I hope you find it useful too. The code is available on Github. As usual, testing and fixes are very welcome. Enjoy!

Efficient Checking of Individual Rewards Properties in Markov Population Models
|Title||Efficient Checking of Individual Rewards Properties in Markov Population Models|
|Publication Type||Conference Paper|
|Year of Publication||2015|
|Authors||Bortolussi L, Hillston J|
|Conference Name||Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems (QAPL)|
|Keywords||Markov population models, Rewards, Stochastic Approximation, Stochastic model checking|
In recent years fluid approaches to the analysis of Markov populations models have been demonstrated to have great pragmatic value. Initially developed to estimate the behaviour of the system in terms of the expected values of population counts, the fluid approach has subsequently been extended to more sophisticated interrogations of models through its embedding within model checking procedures. In this paper we extend recent work on checking CSL properties of individual agents within a Markovian population model, to consider the checking of properties which incorporate rewards.

The Hellingly Hospital Railway
was a light railway
owned and operated by the East Sussex County Council
. It was used to deliver coal and passengers to Hellingly Hospital
, a psychiatric hospital
, via a spur from the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
's Cuckoo Line
at Hellingly railway station
The railway was constructed in 1899 and opened to passengers on 20 July 1903, following its electrification in 1902. After the railway grouping of 1923
, passenger numbers declined so significantly that the hospital authorities no longer considered passenger usage of the line to be economical, and the service was withdrawn. The railway closed to freight in 1959, following the hospital's decision to convert its coal boilers to oil, which rendered the railway unnecessary.
The route took a mostly direct path from a junction immediately south of Hellingly Station to Hellingly Hospital, past sidings
known as Farm Siding and Park House Siding respectively, used as stopping places to load and unload produce and supplies from outbuildings of the hospital. Much of the railway has since been converted to footpath
, and many of the buildings formerly served by the line are now abandoned.
Construction and opening
In 1897, East Sussex County Council purchased of land at Park Farm, about three miles (5 km) north of Hailsham
, from the Earl of Chichester

which would eventually become known as Hellingly...

Train timetabling with dynamic and random passenger demand: A stochastic optimization method

Urban rail transit, Train timetable, Stochastic optimization, Variable neighborhood search algorithm
Considering the dynamics and randomness of passenger demand, this paper investigates a train timetabling problem in the stochastic environment for an urban rail transit system. With the scenario-based representation of passenger distribution, an integer nonlinear programming (INLP) model is first formulated to simultaneously optimize the total number of train services, headway settings and speed profile selection decision during the planning time horizon, in which the expected total service cost is treated as the objective function. Through an analysis of the features of the nonlinear constraints, a reformulation method is proposed to develop an equivalent integer linear programming (ILP) model that can be easily solved by commercial software. Moreover, a variable neighborhood search algorithm is developed to find the approximate optimal solutions for large-scale problems within the tolerable computing time. Finally, two sets of numerical experiments, with the operation environments of a simple urban rail transit line and Fuzhou Metro Line 1, are implemented to verify the solution quality and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Smartstrips: Foils that breathe
Smartstrips is the first breathable highlight strip that allows the perfect amount of oxygen in and expels damaging gases out.
Too much oxygen during balayage and the blonding cream or powder oxidizes and loses its lifting power. No oxygen (when wrapped in foil, paper, or other meche brands) and the mixture swells due to toxic gases. This hamper painting creativity, as well as increases the risk of overprocessing the ends or previously lightened hair.
The special composition of strips enables the entrance of the right amount of oxygen to obtain the lightening effects and the vent of gas that is harmful for the hair fibre. They allow enough oxygen to stabilize the mixture during the process, while preventing total oxygen flow that would over-oxidize. The result allows the product to stay fresh longer and perform at optimum capacity fuelled by oxygen to achieve incredible results. This occurs while ventilating the corrosive damaging chemical fumes that foil traps in – such as ammonia.
SMARTSTRIPS are Eco-friendly: they are not only easy to recycle, but they also strongly reduce their environmental impact since they are produced without using water or trees. This revolutionary material is made up of 70% calcium carbonate and 30% polyethylene, that reduces the use of plastic resin by 55 to 70% when compared to most products present on the market.
SMARTSTRIPS are the future of bleaching techniques, bridging the gap between balayage and traditional highlighting.

Clicking Neck
Please read how the neck works before reading the following.
Most people fear that the clicking is caused by bone hitting bone. However, thankfully nowadays this is rare. If you have this it is likely that for many years you have been suffering severe pain and movement restriction. If this is you please go and see your GP for a referral to an Orthopaedic consultant as soon as possible.If you felt a click with a sudden or traumatic injury like a car accident or a fall you must see an Osteopath, Physiotherapist or doctor as soon as possible for a full assessment, because you may have damaged a vital ligament or bone.
If the noise is not painful it is most likely to be air pockets popping with the changes of pressure that movement causes inside the fluid of the neck joints. A clicking neck can also be caused by small particles swishing around in the fluid of the neck joints.
Painful clicking can be caused by soft tissue damage in the joint like cartilage that has been worn away or has broken off and is floating around in the joint. Clicking or clunking can also be caused by tendons or scar tissue slipping over bony prominences.
In summary – if your clicking neck is also painful you need to get it checked out but if it is not painful you need not worry about it. If in any doubt please get in touch!
We promise to never share your email address with anyone.

Seven Tasks for Seven Books
Oct 30, 2007
SEVEN TASKS, SEVEN BOOKS
While each book was awaited with great anticipation, speculation roared regarding the content of the next book. One popular theory looked at each task Harry had to endure to get the the stone in the first book, as a clue toward the subject matter of the other books.
The seven tasks have been discussed in various threads discussing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. These threads include:
GREAT WIZARDING EVENTS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY:
CURRENT BOOK CLUB:
The Play up! Play up! and Play the game!, GOF and the 4th task to find the Philosopher's Stone discussions can be viewed in the Special Events Archives.
Other archived Book Club threads include POA and the 3rd task to find the Philosopher's Stone, Do they show how 7 PS/SS tasks match 7 books?

AI detects depression though voice
Researchers have improved an AI that detects depression from your voice. By analyzing the sound of people's voices, this AI can now detect whether they are depressed more accurately, say scientists at the University of Alberta.
AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI refers to software technologies that make intelligent devices like robots or computers think like humans. They also make them behave like humans. AI contrasts with NI or natural intelligence.
AI detects depression image 839893838389938938
Mashrura Tasnim and Eleni Stroulia presented their study and findings at the Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (citation below).
Stroulia is a Professor of Computing Science at Alberta's Faculty of Science. Tasnim is a Graduate Student in Computing Science at Alberta.
Using machine learning to recognize depression
The researchers used two standard benchmark sets of audio recordings to develop a method that combined many machine-learning algorithms. The recordings were between 5 and 50 minutes long. The algorithms detected depression from acoustic cues more accurately.
Tasnim and Stroulia built on previous studies which found that the timbre of peoples voices contained data about their mood.
The researchers aim to develop helpful applications from the technology they have developed.
Prof. Stroulia explains:
"A realistic scenario is to have people use an app that will collect voice samples as they speak naturally. The app, running on the user's phone, will recognize and track indicators of mood, such as depression, over time."
"Much like you have a step counter on your phone, you could have a depression indicator based on your voice as you use the phone."
Depression in Canada
Approximately sixteen percent of women and eleven percent of men in Canada will have depressive symptoms during the course of their lives. Many Canadians aged twelve to nineteen, i.e., 3.2 million people, are also at risk of developing depression.
The authors believe that their tool could help individuals reflect on their own moods or mental state over time. It could also be used by health care professionals and providers.
Stroulia noted:
"This work, developing more accurate detection in standard benchmark data sets, is the first step."

Autotuning control structures for reliability-driven dynamic binding
This paper explores a formally grounded approach to solve the problem of dynamic binding in serviceoriented software architecture. Dynamic binding is a widely adopted mean to automatically bind exposed software interfaces to actual implementations. The execution of an operation on one or another implementation, though providing the same result, could turn out in different quality of service, e.g. due to failure occurrence. Dynamic binding is thus of primary importance to achieve what in the Software Engineering domain is called "selfadaptiveness", the capability to preserve a desired quality of service, if this is feasible. It is important to reach this goal also in the presence of environmental fluctuations – a route congestion increase – or even abrupt variations – a server breakdown. A quite general dynamic binding problem is here reformulated as a discrete-time feedback control one, and the use of autotuning techniques is discussed, extending previous research, in a view to guaranteeing the desired quality of service without the need for computationally-intensive optimisations.

Fish can and do have surgeries performed on them. An anesthetic is delivered to the fish in its water, and the fish is removed from the water for surgery. Performing surgery with the fish in the water is difficult and can result in contamination of the surgical site. For long surgeries, water (containing anesthetic) must be pumped over the gills to keep the fish oxygenated and anesthetized, as well as keep the fish's skin moist. Thick, heavy scales must be removed along the incision line. Sutures may be removed by your veterinarian from 10 to 30 days following surgery, depending on the rate of healing.

document.
CDocument* GetDocument() const;
Return Value
A pointer to the CDocument object associated with the view. NULL if the view is not attached to a document.
Remarks
This allows you to call the document's member functions.
Called by the framework to check whether the specified document item is selected.
virtual BOOL IsSelected(const CObject* pDocItem) const;
Parameters
pDocItem
Points to the document item being tested.
Return Value
Nonzero if the specified document item is selected; otherwise 0.
Remarks
The default implementation of this function returns FALSE. Override this function if you are implementing selection using CDocItem objects. You must override this function if your view contains OLE items.
Called by the framework when the frame window containing the view is activated or deactivated.
virtual void OnActivateFrame(
 UINT nState,
 CFrameWnd* pFrameWnd);
Parameters
nState
Specifies whether the frame window is being activated or deactivated. It can be one of the following values:
 - WA_INACTIVE The frame window is being deactivated.
 - WA_ACTIVE The frame window is being activated through some method other than a mouse click (for example, by use of the keyboard interface to select the window).
 - WA_CLICKACTIVE The frame window is being activated by a mouse click
pFrameWnd
Pointer to the frame window that is to be activated.
Remarks
Override this member function if you want to perform special processing when the frame window associated with the view is activated or deactivated. For example, CFormView performs this override when it saves and restores the control that has focus.
Called by the framework when a view is activated or deactivated.
virtual void OnActivateView(
 BOOL bActivate,
 CView* pActivateView,
 CView* pDeactiveView);
Parameters
bActivate
Indicates whether the view is being activated or deactivated.
pActivateView
Points to the view object that is being activated.
pDeactiveView
Points to the view object that is being deactivated.
Remarks
The default implementation of this function sets the focus to the view being activated. Override this function if you want to perform special processing when a view is activated or deactivated. For example, if you want to provide special visual cues that distinguish the active view from the inactive views, you would examine the bActivate parameter and update the view's appearance accordingly.
The pActivateView and pDeactiveView parameters point to the same view if the application's main frame window is activated with no change in the active view — for example, if the focus is being transferred from another application to this one, rather than from one view to another within the application or when switching amongst MDI child windows. This allows a view to re-realize its palette, if needed.
These parameters differ when CFrameWnd::SetActiveView is called with a view that is different from what CFrameWnd::GetActiveView would return. This happens most often with splitter windows.
Called by the framework at the beginning of a print or print preview job, after OnPreparePrinting has been called.
virtual void OnBeginPrinting(
 CDC* pDC,
 CPrintInfo* pInfo);
Parameters
pDC
Points to the printer device context.
pInfo
Points to a CPrintInfo structure that describes the current print job.
Remarks
The default implementation of this function does nothing. Override this function to allocate any GDI resources, such as pens or fonts, needed specifically for printing. Select the GDI objects into the device context from within the OnPrint member function for each page that uses them. If you are using the same view object to perform both screen display and printing, use separate variables for the GDI resources needed for each display; this allows you to update the screen during printing.
You can also use this function to perform initializations that depend on properties of the printer device context. For example, the number of pages needed to print the document may depend on settings that the user specified from the Print dialog box (such as page length). In such a situation, you cannot specify the document length in the OnPreparePrinting member function, where you would normally do so; you must wait until the printer device context has been created based on the dialog box settings. OnBeginPrinting is the first overridable function that gives you access to the CDC object representing the printer device context, so you can set the document length from this function. Note that if the document length is not specified by this time, a scroll bar is not displayed during print preview.
Called by the framework when the mouse first enters the non-scrolling region of the drop target window.
virtual DROPEFFECT OnDragEnter(
 COleDataObject* pDataObject,
 DWORD dwKeyState,
 CPoint point);
Parameters
pDataObject
Points to the COleDataObject being dragged into the drop area of the view.
dwKeyState
Contains the state of the modifier keys. This is a combination of any number of the following: MK_CONTROL, MK_SHIFT, MK_ALT, MK_LBUTTON, MK_MBUTTON, and MK_RBUTTON.
point
The current mouse position relative to the client area of the view.
Return Value
A value from the DROPEFFECT enumerated type, which indicates the type of drop that would occur if the user dropped the object at this position. The type of drop usually depends on the current key state indicated by dwKeyState. A standard mapping of keystates to DROPEFFECT values is:
 - DROPEFFECT_NONE The data object cannot be dropped in this window.
 - DROPEFFECT_LINK for MK_CONTROL | MK_SHIFT Creates a linkage between the object and its server.
 - DROPEFFECT_COPY for MK_CONTROL Creates a copy of the dropped object.
 - DROPEFFECT_MOVE for MK_ALT Creates a copy of the dropped object and delete the original object. This is typically the default drop effect, when the view can accept this data object.
For more information, see the MFC Advanced Concepts sample OCLIENT.
Remarks
Default implementation is to do nothing and return DROPEFFECT_NONE.
Override this function to prepare for future calls to the OnDragOver member function. Any data required from the data object should be retrieved at this time for later use in the OnDragOver member function. The view should also be updated at this time to give the user visual feedback. For more information, see the article Drag and Drop: Implementing a Drop Target.
Called by the framework during a drag operation when the mouse is moved out of the valid drop area for that window.
virtual void OnDragLeave();
Remarks
Override this function if the current view needs to clean up any actions taken during OnDragEnter or OnDragOver calls, such as removing any visual user feedback while the object was dragged and dropped.
Called by the framework during a drag operation when the mouse is moved over the drop target window.
virtual DROPEFFECT OnDragOver(
 COleDataObject* pDataObject,
 DWORD dwKeyState,
 CPoint point);
Parameters
pDataObject
Points to the COleDataObject being dragged over the drop target.
dwKeyState
Contains the state of the modifier keys. This is a combination of any number of the following: MK_CONTROL, MK_SHIFT, MK_ALT, MK_LBUTTON, MK_MBUTTON, and MK_RBUTTON.
point
The current mouse position relative to the view client area.
Return Value
A value from the DROPEFFECT enumerated type, which indicates the type of drop that would occur if the user dropped the object at this position. The type of drop often depends on the current key state as indicated by dwKeyState. A standard mapping of keystates to DROPEFFECT values is:
 - DROPEFFECT_NONE The data object cannot be dropped in this window.
 - DROPEFFECT_LINK for MK_CONTROL | MK_SHIFT Creates a linkage between the object and its server.
 - DROPEFFECT_COPY for MK_CONTROL Creates a copy of the dropped object.
 - DROPEFFECT_MOVE for MK_ALT Creates a copy of the dropped object and delete the original object. This is typically the default drop effect, when the view can accept the data object.
For more information, see the MFC Advanced Concepts sample OCLIENT.
Remarks
The default implementation is to do nothing and return DROPEFFECT_NONE.
Override this function to give the user visual feedback during the drag operation. Since this function is called continuously, any code contained within it should be optimized as much as possible. For more information, see the article Drag and Drop: Implementing a Drop Target.
Called by the framework before calling OnDragEnter or OnDragOver to determine whether the point is in the scrolling region.
virtual DROPEFFECT OnDragScroll(
 DWORD dwKeyState,
 CPoint point);
Parameters
dwKeyState
Contains the state of the modifier keys. This is a combination of any number of the following: MK_CONTROL, MK_SHIFT, MK_ALT, MK_LBUTTON, MK_MBUTTON, and MK_RBUTTON.
point
Contains the location of the cursor, in pixels, relative to the screen.
Return Value
A value from the DROPEFFECT enumerated type, which indicates

 - How many miles should a car last?
How many miles should a car last?
Author of the blog (work in a car repair shop)
Ask Q
How many miles should a car last?
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
What is high mileage for a used car?
What is considered high mileage on a car? Often, 100,000 miles is considered a cut-off point for used cars because older vehicles often start requiring more expensive and frequent maintenance when mileage exceeds 100,000.
How many miles can an engine last?
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
Can a car last 500000 miles?
Is mileage more important than age?
Is Mileage More Important Than Age? The short answer is no. There is no clear winner in the battle of mileage vs age. This is because, when shopping for a used car, you don't just base your decision on either one.
What mileage is too high?
Up to 1000 miles a month – or 12,000 miles per year – is seen as average car use, any more than that would be considered high mileage – a two-year-old car with 40,000 miles, say. That said, the term 'high mileage' is usually reserved for cars that have covered 100,000 miles or more.
Should I buy a car with 75000 miles?
If you would like to drive your next used car for five years, for example, you'll want to find a car that has at least another 75,000 miles of expected life ahead of it. With that in mind, a good mileage range for a used car would be between 75,000 and 100,000 miles, since many cars last beyond the 150,000-mile point.
When should I replace my car?
Know what your car is worth. Use tools available from sites like Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds to determine trade-in or retail value of cars similar to yours. A good rule of thumb is to employ the so-called "50-percent rule." When repairs cost 50 percent of what your car is worth, it's time to replace.
At what mileage do cars start having problems?
Generally, vehicles are likely to start experiencing problems after the 100,000-mile mark. Also, in most cases, they no longer have a valid manufacturer's warranty, meaning you have to pay for repairs out of your own pocket when something goes wrong.
How long should you own a car?
In general, however, people don't really keep their cars forever. Research by R.L. Polk says that the average age of a modern vehicle is 11.4 years, while the average length of time drivers keep a new vehicle is 71.4 months — around 6 years. So even if you plan to own a car forever, the statistics are against you.
What percentage of cars make it to 300 000 miles?
Can a car last 250000 miles?
Today's cars are built to last for 250,000 miles or more with regular care. This is according to Bob Weber, who's a Chicago Tribune auto columnist. Sure, there are some cars that lend themselves well to running for a long time, and those that need a little more work, but the effort is often worth it.
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
Can a car engine run forever?
In a vacuum (and with infinite fuel), your engine would continue to run forever. But in reality, several things might occur if your car idles for too long. To avoid running your car for too long, you should only idle your vehicle for a few minutes at most before either moving your vehicle or turning the engine off.
Can you make a car last forever?
Okay, you really can't make your car last forever. But more and more people are moving away from the cycle of buying or leasing new vehicles every 2-3 years, instead electing to save money by keeping their current vehicles in the best-running shape possible for the longest period of time.
Can a car engine last forever?
Most engines on the road today are designed to last well over 100,000 miles. An engine will last much longer if the engine is not abused in any way and all maintenance that the manufacturer recommends is done on or before it is due.
What is the best age to buy a used car?
In retaining "like new" quality and inheriting a slower depreciation rate, the best used car age for buying is 2-3 years. In fact, Americans are saving up to $14,000 on a 3-year-old vehicle. For example, a car that may have cost you $30,000 when new would cost around $16,000 after just 3 years.
Is it OK to buy an old car with low mileage?
It's typically a general rule of thumb to go for the car with the lowest number of miles on it. The more miles a car has, the more likely it is to need repairs and maintenance. This raises the question of whether buying a used car with unusually low miles on it can lead to problems down the road.
What is considered an old car?
On the average, though, for a car to be considered a "Classic Car" it must be at least 25 years old, and 50 years old for it to be considered an "Antique Car". However, some states consider anything made after the end of the Forties a Classic, and anything from 1949 back to be an Antique.
Is it worth buying a car with over 100K miles?
Is it worth buying a car with high mileage?
Here's the answer: Overall, a car that has been driven enough, has been maintained well, and has high mileage will be a reliable choice. Thanks to modern technology, lifespans have increased. At one point, 100,000 miles were considered to be a long life for a car.
How many miles should a 10 year old car have?
Is it cheaper to fix an old car or buy a new one?
How often should you buy a new car?
Many car owners make the mistake of assuming that they need to replace their vehicles every few years. The average age of a vehicle on the road is about 11 years, but most drivers keep a car for about six years. Here are some factors to consider when deciding if it's time for a newer model.
How long should a car last?
How Long Should a Car Last? Many modern vehicles can last up to or even past 200,000 miles, according to automotive experts. Today's cars, SUVs, and trucks are more durable than ever and require less maintenance to run correctly, which has boosted the average age of a car on the road in the United States to nearly 12 years old.
How many miles left on a car should I buy?
For example, if you're looking at a car with 100,000 miles that's in good condition and from a brand whose vehicles are known to pass the 200,000-mile mark, then you could have as many as 100,000 miles left on that vehicle. If you drive fewer than 10,000 miles per year, that could mean at least 10 years of life.
How many miles will a General Motors SUV last?
The Suburban is, probably, the only General Motors SUV that will make the list of cars capable of lasting longer than 300,000 miles. Many Suburban owners reported having clocked more than 200,000 miles, but owners who take good care of their cars will see the 300,000 mark. Besides the durability, the car looks stunning.
What is the average mileage on a car?
When you're looking for any car, its mileage is an important thing to consider. In general, the average mileage on a car is assumed to be between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year, according to...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided (UG) versus fluoroscopy-guided (FG) percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods: A systematic search of PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials that compared UG-PCNL with FG-PCNL, and a meta-analysis of those studies was completed. The primary outcomes assessed were stone-free rate (SFR) and complication rate. Secondary outcomes assessed were the successful access-creation rate, time necessary for entrance into the target calyx, auxiliary procedure rate, transfusion rate, hemoglobin decrease after surgery, surgery duration, and hospital stay. Results: Eight studies comprising 966 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with FG-PCNL, UG-PCNL had comparable stone-free rates [odds ratio (OR) 0.95; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67–1.35; p = 0.79] irrespective of the patient's position, and a favorable safety profile resulting in a lower complication rate (OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.36–0.86; p = 0.009). No statistical difference was found between UG and FG groups in secondary outcomes. Conclusions: UG-PCNL is as effective as FG-PCNL and has the advantage of lower complication rates. In addition, UG-PCNL could be performed with patients in the supine position without compromising its efficacy.

What is a pizza peel made out of?
Metal pizza peels are usually made out of aluminum and are generally the best option for retrieving baked pizzas from the oven. The paddles on these peels are thinner than their wooden counterparts, allowing them to more easily slip under pizza crusts.
How thick should a pizza peel be?
Ideally, you're looking for something in the 1-3 mm (3/64-1/8 inch) range. Wooden peels, tend to be thicker since you can't make the wood as thin as metal. A wooden peel works great for transferring the pizza into the oven, but it's less ideal to get it out.
Should I oil my pizza peel?
Should you oil a pizza peel? No you don't need to. A pizza peel should be grease and moisture free to allow the pizza to slide off easily. You should not put any seasoning coating because the wood is porous and absorbs moisture to stop the dough sticking.
What type of pizza peel is best?
Here are the best pizza peels
- Best pizza peel overall: New Star Foodservice 50295 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel.
- Best innovative pizza peel: EXO Non-Stick Super Peel Pro Composite.
- Best metal pizza peel: American Metalcraft 3016 Extra Large Blade Pizza Peel, 30 Inch.
What can you use if you don't have a pizza peel?
The 6 Best Pizza Peel Substitutes
- Rimless Cookie Sheet. This common household item is perhaps the best replacement for a pizza peel.
- Upside Down Rimmed Baking Sheet. If you 're not an avid baker, you may not have a rimless cookie sheet on hand.
- Parchment Paper.
- Cutting Board.
- Serving Platter.
Do you need a pizza peel with a pizza stone?
Because you heat the stone with the oven and place the pizza directly on the stone, it is essential to use a pizza peel when cooking with a pizza stone.
Can you make a pizza peel out of plywood?
The fastest and easiest way to make a peel is with a piece of plywood. Find a scrap piece of quality plywood. 3/8″ or 1/2″ thick works well. Avoid temptation to stain your new peel – the heat and pizza ingredients work best with an unfinished surface.
What makes a good pizza peel?
Wood is the classic material for a pizza peel because it effectively prevents the dough from sticking. It also works well as a cutting board for your pizza once it's done baking. However, a wooden peel can warp and absorb stains and smells over time. Many are somewhat bulky, so they can be difficult to handle.
Does Walmart have pizza peels?
Our pizza peel is perfectly used for transferring pizzas,breads,pastries and so on. Its wooden handle is for easy and convenient to grip,and it could protect your hands from being burnt by hot oven.It has compact size and simple structures,very easy to clean.
Can you cut pizza on a pizza peel?
Pizza peels come in three basic materials: Wood is also the best material to prevent sticking of raw pizza dough—essential for inserting a raw pizza into the oven without disturbing the toppings. You can also cut and serve your pizza directly off the peel without damaging your knife or pizza wheel.
Why is my pizza sticking to the peel?
If your dough is a little cold or sticky for some reason, it may stick to the peel at the oven's entrance. You may want to sprinkle some cornmeal on the peel instead. Any of thesematerials make for an effective peel dust. My personal favorite is a blend of equal parts cornmeal, semolina flour and regular pizza flour.
What kind of oil do you use on a pizza peel?
Apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil to the face of your pizza peel before its first use. This will seal and protect the wood, which makes your pizza peel last longer. Allow the oil to sit until it's fully soaked into the wood. Do not use olive or vegetable oil, which can become rancid.


Calculation of the neutron noise using the Analytical Nodal Method
Konferensbidrag (offentliggjort, men ej förlagsutgivet), 2009
In this study, the neutron noise, i.e. the stationary fluctuations of the neutron flux around its mean value, is calculated in 2-group diffusion theory for a 2-dimensional reactor using the Analytical Nodal Method. A brief description of the calculation of the static flux is also included. The same calculational scheme for the neutron noise as for the static flux is used. As a benchmark, the calculated neutron noise for a 2-dimensional fully homogeneous reactor is compared with the analytical solution which can easily be determined for homogeneous reactors. The result of the benchmark is that the numerically calculated neutron noise accurately matches the analytically calculated neutron noise.

Skip deletion of user accounts that go out of scope in Microsoft Entra ID
By default, the Microsoft Entra provisioning engine soft deletes or disables users that go out of scope. However, for certain scenarios like Workday to AD User Inbound Provisioning, this behavior may not be the expected and you may want to override this default behavior.
This article describes how to use the Microsoft Graph API and the Microsoft Graph API explorer to set the flag SkipOutOfScopeDeletions that controls the processing of accounts that go out of scope.
 - If SkipOutOfScopeDeletions is set to 0 (false), accounts that go out of scope are disabled in the target.
 - If SkipOutOfScopeDeletions is set to 1 (true), accounts that go out of scope aren't disabled in the target. This flag is set at the Provisioning App level and can be configured using the Graph API.
Because this configuration is widely used with the Workday to Active Directory user provisioning app, the following steps include screenshots of the Workday application. However, the configuration can also be used with all other apps, such as ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Dropbox. To successfully complete this procedure, you must have first set up app provisioning for the app. Each app has its own configuration article. For example, to configure the Workday application, see Tutorial: Configure Workday to Microsoft Entra user provisioning. SkipOutOfScopeDeletions does not work for cross-tenant synchronization.
Step 1: Retrieve your Provisioning App Service Principal ID (Object ID)
Tip
Steps in this article may vary slightly based on the portal you start from.
 1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Application Administrator.
 2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications.
 3. Select your application and go to Properties section of your provisioning app. In this example we are using Workday.
 4. Copy the GUID value in the Object ID field. This value is also called the ServicePrincipalId of your app and it's used in Graph Explorer operations.
 Screenshot of Workday App Service Principal ID.
Step 2: Sign into Microsoft Graph Explorer
 1. Launch Microsoft Graph Explorer
 2. Click on the "Sign-In with Microsoft" button and sign-in using Microsoft Entra Global Administrator or App Admin credentials.
 Screenshot of Microsoft Graph Explorer Sign-in.
 3. Upon successful sign-in, the user account details appear in the left-hand pane.
Step 3: Get existing app credentials and connectivity details
In the Microsoft Graph Explorer, run the following GET query replacing [servicePrincipalId] with the ServicePrincipalId extracted from the Step 1.
 GET _URL_
Screenshot of GET job query.
Copy the Response into a text file. It looks like the JSON text shown, with values highlighted in yellow specific to your deployment. Add the lines highlighted in green to the end and update the Workday connection password highlighted in blue.
Screenshot of GET job response.
Here's the JSON block to add to the mapping.
{
 "key": "SkipOutOfScopeDeletions",
 "value": "True"
}
Step 4: Update the secrets endpoint with the SkipOutOfScopeDeletions flag
In the Graph Explorer, run the command to update the secrets endpoint with the SkipOutOfScopeDeletions flag.
In the URL, replace [servicePrincipalId] with the ServicePrincipalId extracted from the Step 1.
 PUT _URL_
Copy the updated text from Step 3 into the "Request Body".
Screenshot of PUT request.
Click on "Run Query".
You should get the output as "Success – Status Code 204". If you receive an error, you may need to check that your account has Read/Write permissions for ServicePrincipalEndpoint. You can find this permission by clicking on the Modify permissions tab in Graph Explorer.
Screenshot of PUT response.
Step 5: Verify that out of scope users don't get disabled
You can test this flag results in expected behavior by updating your scoping rules to skip a specific user. In the example, we're excluding the employee with ID 21173 (who was earlier in scope) by adding a new scoping rule:
Screenshot that shows the "Add Scoping Filter" section with an example user highlighted.
In the next provisioning cycle, the Microsoft Entra provisioning service identifies that the user 21173 has gone out of scope. If the SkipOutOfScopeDeletions property is enabled, then the synchronization rule for that user displays a message as shown:
Screenshot of scoping example.


What Snowboard Binding Angles Should I Use?
Your snowboarding stance plays a significant role in how your board will perform to match your style or preferences. And the angles you mount your bindings at are one of the most critical factors in this setup.
I've been a certified snowboarding instructor for the last ten years. I've helped many of my students figure out their binding angles to help them develop their skills and become better riders.
This post will give you some suggestions for what binding angles to use. Everyone has personal preferences or style considerations, so I'll give you a breakdown of different angles to use for various reasons.
Time to get your bindings mounted and get after it.
Initial Thoughts on Binding Angles
Before we get started on some suggestions for what binding angles to use, I want to mention a few initial thoughts on the matter. First off, everyone is different, and everything you'll find here is a suggestion. You can always tweak the angle however you prefer.
It's also good to know the basic terminology for mounting bindings to your board. When your bindings point toward the nose of the board, that's known as a positive angle. When they point toward the tail, that's known as a negative angle.
Most snowboard mounting plates make it easy to adjust the binding angles, so you don't need to worry about figuring out your angle. Also, keep in mind that your stance setup includes the width between your two feet and the setback of where your center is on the board.
Which Binding Angles Should You Use?
The sections below will break down different angles you can use for various purposes. These are basic suggestions that many riders of a particular style will use, but you can always adjust your bindings to an angle that works best for your preferences or style.
Beginner Angles
Most beginner riders will have their front foot at a positive angle of 15 degrees and their back foot at zero or maybe a positive angle of a few degrees. This gives you a little twist towards your leading foot, which can help you stay balanced and engaged as you ride.
This 15-degree stance will make it easy to ride in one direction and is the most common stance setup for beginners. If you don't know your dominant foot or want to explore riding in both directions, you might want to consider a slightly duck-footed stance as a beginner.
As a beginner, I wouldn't ever set an angle of much more than the 15-degrees mentioned above. It can be challenging to learn the basics of turning, stopping, and leaning if you have a very aggressive stance.
All-Mountain Angles
All-mountain snowboarding is one of the most popular styles of the sport because it gives you the freedom to ride just about anywhere on the mountain. The boards also give you a lot of versatility in terms of what type of terrain you can ride, and your stance angles play a part.
I usually go with a 15-degree positive angle front foot and a 6-degree negative angle back foot for all-mountain riding. This is a slightly duck-footed stance that still gives you plenty of control in your natural foot forward. The negative back foot can help you ride switch.
You can easily tweak these angles slightly and get similar performance. 18 positive up front and 9 negative in the back is another common all-mountain angle, but this is somewhat more duckfooted.
Freestyle/Park Angles
Freestyle and park riding styles have unique stance requirements. The main thing with this style of riding is that you want the ability to ride switch very easily – meaning you need to be able to ride in both directions comfortably.
The key to accomplishing this is having a duckfooted stance where your lead foot is at a positive angle and your back foot at a negative angle. That way, when you flip around switch, the angles basically stay the same.
The most common freestyle binding angle is a 15-degree positive angle in the front and a 15-degree negative angle in the back. This gives you the same angles no matter which way you ride.
Some freestyle riders like to extend the front positive angle a few degrees and reduce the back. This results in more like an 18-degree positive angle up front and a 9-degree negative angle in the back.
Freeride Angles
Freeride snowboarding is one of my favorite styles. It involves tackling challenging terrains that you don't always find at the resort. You need to have high-level skills for this style, and you also need to have your binding angles dialed in for quality performance when you need it.
Nearly every freestyle board is directional, meaning it's designed to be ridden in a single direction instead of riding switch. This means that the angles of your bindings will be pointed further forward than with any other style.
My ideal freeride binding angle is a 21-degree positive angle up front and a 9-degree positive angle in the back. This is a bit extreme in the back foot, and most other riders I know like to keep the back foot at a 6-degree positive angle or less.
Regardless of which exact angles you choose for freeriding, I suggest that you go with positive angles for both feet. This will help you stay balanced and engaged when the conditions call for it.
Here are some quick answers to several common questions relating to snowboard binding angles.
What angle should my snowboard bindings be?
Snowboard binding angles can be adjusted to meet your style or personal preferences. If you are just getting started, your front foot should be angled forward about 15 degrees with your back foot at zero or pointed perpendicular to the board.
How should snowboard bindings be placed?
Snowboard bindings can be placed in many different ways. You can adjust the angles that your bindings point, the width between the two bindings, and where the bindings sit in relation to the center of the board.
What is the best stance for a beginner snowboarder?
The best stance for a beginner snowboarder is to have your front binding angle pointed forward about 15 degrees and your back foot left at zero degrees or pointed perpendicular to the board. You can adjust this a few degrees one way or the other for personal preference.
What snowboard stance is best for Park?
A duck stance is usually the best snowboard stance for the terrain park. This involves having your binding angles pointed slightly away from one another and can help you ride switch more easily. The angles can be anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees.
Final Thoughts
Getting your binding angles set correctly can play a significant role in the performance and ability you get out of a board. But remember that it's also a personal preference adjustment, and what works for one rider might not be ideal for you.
Follow the suggestions mentioned here as a starting point, and adjust things until you find the perfect angle for your needs.

How does a Jeep diesel hydraulic radiator fan work?
The Jeep diesel radiator fan is completely different than anything you've seen on other engines. Instead of using an electric fan or a mechanical fan with a viscous clutch, Jeep uses a hydraulic radiator fan. The hydraulic radiator fan receives power steering fluid pressure from the power steering pump.
How does the Jeep diesel regulate engine cooling?
Jeep uses a hydraulic radiator fan on the 5.7L and 3.0L diesel engine. The hydraulic radiator fan has a two stage G-rotor hydraulic motor that's powered by high pressure power steering fluid provided by the power steering pump.
The fan control solenoid regulates flow to the hydraulic motor by pulsing the power steering fluid based on commands from the fan control module (FCM). See inputs below.
The Jeep shop manual warns that: "The hydraulic fan and drive is not serviceable. Therefore any failure of the fan blade, hydraulic fan drive or fan shroud requires replacement of the fan module because the fan blade and hydraulic fan drive are matched and balanced as a system and servicing either separately would disrupt this balance."
Fan control module operation
The FCM determines hydraulic radiator fan speed by monitoring inputs from three sensors:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT)
Transmission oil temperature (TOT)
AC System pressure
Based on the inputs from these three sensors, the FCM determines duty cycle on the fan control solenoid and thus regulates hydraulic radiator fan speed. WARNING: Even when the engine doesn't require cooling, the fan will still run at idle at speeds between 100 and 500-RPM. This is due to the minimum flow required to flow through the G-rotor motor.
What goes wrong with the Jeep hydraulic radiator fan system?
The most common problem with the system occurs when a sensor reading is out of range. For example, a high AC pressure reading will cause the radiator fan to run at high speed at all times. Always start your diagnosis by checking the readings from the ECT, TOT and AC pressure transducer. If the readings are within range, use a scan tool to check the pulse width commanded by the fan control module.
Other problems with the Jeep hydraulic radiator fan system
Make sure you're using the proper power steering fluid. There's no such thing as a "universal" power steering fluid.
Check power steering fluid level and condition.
Check the condition of the filter at the bottom of the power steering fluid reservoir.
Check for debris clogging the power steering oil cooler.

The Director of Undergraduate Studies can set up an independent study course after a proposal has been received that follows the guidelines below. The deadline for your proposal is the end of the first week of classes however an earlier submission is better in case you you are required to revise your proposal. The DUS can be reached at _EMAIL_.
- If approved, mathematics department staff will e-mail you a section number and a permission number that will enable you to sign up for the course on DukeHub.
- If your proposal needs further work before it can be accepted, you will be informed by e-mail.
Research Independent Study can be used as the basis for Graduation with Distinction.
1. The first step is to download the Request for Independent Study/Independent Study Permission Form. Please complete this form noting the following modifications which are specific to the math department:
- The Description of Proposed Study (Item 1 on the bottom of the permission form) should be typed out on a separate sheet (or sheets) of paper according to the guide below.
- The Nature of Final Product statement (Item 2) and the Grade to be based on statement (Item 4), should include a verbatim copy of the corresponding portions of this webpage below.
2. Work together with your mentor to write the proposal. The length of your Description of Proposed Study will depend on the particulars, but should be ideally between 1-3 pages.
3. In preparing your independent study proposal a good model to follow is a complete course syllabus. While your study proposal doesn't need to be as full as an actual syllabus, it should be more substantial than a bulletin-style course description.
4. Be sure to communicate clearly. You want your proposal to be well organized and carefully written so that your reader will be able to understand what you are writing. While your intended reader will be a mathematician with at least a basic working knowledge of mathematical concepts, they may not be as familiar with specialized terms in a given subfield. These specialized terms – or terms from science, economics, and engineering that may not be familiar to a broad range of well-educated lay people – should be defined in your proposal.
5. Turn in your typewritten sheet (or sheets) together with the completed independent study permission form (signed by you, the supervising faculty member, and the instructor if different) to the Director of Undergraduate Studies for Mathematics. This should be done as early as possible during the first week of classes. It is acceptable to submit your forms as an e-mail attachment to _EMAIL_ (however scanned documents must be "clean" — the background cannot be gray). If the application is not acceptable you will be notified of the problems and you may revise and re-submit. If it is acceptable you will be notified in the second week of classes and given a course/section number and a permission number in order to register.
6. At the end of the semester, on or before the last day of final exams, you mustl e-mail an electronic copy of your final paper to the Director of Undergraduate Studies of mathematics at _EMAIL_.
1. Clearly state the problem you will be working on in as precise a manner as possible.
- The statement should be understandable to a mathematician whose specialty is far removed from the field in which you propose to work.
- It may be necessary to include background information to provide context before coming to the statement of the actual problem.
- In case the source of the problem is outside mathematics, it may be necessary to first discuss the scientific, engineering, or economic context and then explain how mathematics enters in before describing the specific problem itself.
2. What previous work has been done related to the problem?
- Did you work on this problem, or a related problem, during the summer or during a previous research independent study course? If yes, it is important to communicate any previous work that you completed. Please summarize what you did and include an electronic copy of your final paper from a previous semester.
- If others have worked on this problem, you need only summarize what is necessary to set the context for how you propose to approach the subject.
3. Describe how you propose to make progress towards solving the problem.
- What methods will you try?
- Will there be techniques that you need to learn? If so, from what sources will you learn them? List chapters in books or articles in journals.
- What courses have you taken previously which will provide you with some of the background necessary to approach your problem?
4. Proofread carefully what you have typed to be sure that the issues above have been addressed.
The final product for your research independent study will be a formal paper (as opposed to an informal report) that meets the criteria listed below.
1. The paper describes important aspects of the work done during the course.
2. The paper is thoughtful, well organized, and well written. It should be carefully proofread.
3. The paper communicates well to as broad an audience as would reasonably be assumed to have interest in your research topic.
4. The first part of the paper (two pages minimum) describes the broader context in which the project took place. This section should be written in a way that is understandable to an individual who has no specialized knowledge beyond the standard course content regularly offered by the Duke math department.
- Specialized technical terms should be defined or avoided.
- If your project involved a particular problem in a field of pure mathematics, it should be related to broader questions within that field.
- If your project involved an application of mathematics, appropriate background material should be explained to motivate the problem and set it in a suitable context.
- If non-standard mathematical techniques are used, they should be compared to standard techniques.
The final paper may, at the discretion of the instructor, include relevant excerpts from any paper or report that you had written for a previous related independent study course or in connection with a previous related research project. However, such excerpts may only constitute a small portion of your final paper.
Work on the final paper, especially on that part that explains the broader context of the research, may be begun early in the semester.
Student will e-mail an electronic copy of their final paper to the Director of Undergraduate Studies of mathematics on or before the last day of final exams.
The final paper will contribute substantially to the course grade – that is to say, a student will not receive an "A" grade if their final paper clearly fails to meet the criteria listed above under "Nature of Final Product".
