UD study uses satellite and drone imagery to spot barren salt patches on Delmarva farms
On farms in coastal areas around the Chesapeake Bay, and increasingly on farms located further inland, lush cropland will occasionally be plagued with spots of salty, barren soil. These spots occur over usually healthy farmland and with these spots comes a decrease in crop yield.
The University of Delaware is part of a multi-institutional team, which includes researchers from the University of Maryland and George Washington University, researching this problem and trying to develop a tool to help farmers better prepare themselves against these damaging salt patches.
Manan Sarupria and Matthew Walter, both doctoral students in the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences, are conducting research on the issue with Pinki Mondal, assistant professor in the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences and the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences and a resident faculty member of UD's Data Science Institute. They recently spent two days in Somerset County, and one day in Dorchester County, both in Maryland, looking at these salt patches on farms and collecting data points to help train a machine learning algorithm that will use current and historical satellite data to paint a better picture of the history and extent of these patches throughout the region.
The work builds off research Walter conducted in 2019 with Mondal that mapped salt deposits on cropland across the Delmarva region using the United States Geological Survey's National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), which provided high-resolution aerial images of farmland, and Landsat satellite images.
Building off those projects, Sarupria is using Sentinel satellite images — which will provide a larger dataset but images with a coarser resolution than the NAIP images — to get a more frequent estimation of salt deposits as well as a better understanding of the mechanism behind those salt deposits.
To begin this work, Sarupria and Walter went to farms after virtually identifying salt or bare patches on pieces of cropland. Once there, they were able to map the salt patches.
"We saved the geolocation, the latitude and longitude of a particular point, where we saw salt patches, unhealthy crops or bare patches in the field," said Sarupria. "We did this for all the fields from where we had the permission of the farmers and the reports that these problems have been seen."
Over the course of two days, they collected 200 data points in 20 fields. With that data in hand, they will now examine the satellite imagery precisely at these 200 points and try to see how these salt patches, unhealthy vegetation or bare patches look from space — using images from Sentinel satellites.
"The satellite data allows us to see beyond what we can see with the naked eye and gives us more insight into what is happening in that particular point or that particular pixel," said Sarupria. "The great thing about the satellite product is that it gives us a chance to look in the past — we will have the same visualization of the same part of the world every five days — and it will help us see the changes that have been occurring on that particular point."
For example, if a hurricane happened and there was a lot of salty water pushed inland from the coast, they could see how the farms looked before and after the hurricane.
In addition to collecting data points, seeing the fields in person allowed Sarupria and Walter to train their eyes to see what these spots look like in the real world. This will help them identify the patches on satellite images and allow them to train the machine learning algorithm to identify the patches on a larger scale.
It also allowed them to see how this problem was physically affecting the farms and personally affecting the farmers.
The first field they visited had a big, white and crusty salt patch at the entrance, and they could tell the difference from the healthy soil the moment they stepped on it.
"Our shoes were crushing those salt and soil mixtures, and it did not feel normal," said Sarupria. "It was interesting to walk through healthy crops, and then all of a sudden, in the center of the farm, you have a big bare patch or some crops shorter than the other crops, which you don't notice when you're at the edge of the field."
Walter said it was interesting to see how farmers have been adjusting to these increases in salt on their respective farms and how some areas were no longer farmable.
"We saw some farms where the farmers basically abandoned land for farming so there were huge fields that were no longer being farmed at all," said Walter. "Instead, there are wetlands or meadow plants that are starting to grow because those plants are better adapted to grow in the salty areas. Seeing that impact and the amount of loss of cropland was pretty interesting. It's something you can't easily notice on the satellites."
The farms were all close to estuaries and tidal streams, which connect to the bay and make channels for salt to encroach onto the farmlands. Usually estuaries drain the water from the farms to the ocean, but when a high tide occurs or when the sea level is rising, instead of draining towards the ocean, saltwater is now moving the other direction, into the farms.
Now that the initial data is gathered, Sarupria is going to train a machine learning algorithm to spot the various types of salty points across the Delmarva region. Because what the salt patches look like can vary greatly — one point might have a lot of salt and less soil while another point might have less salt but a lot of soil — those differences and combinations need to be registered so the model can capture as many points as possible.
Both Sarupria and Walter said that it was helpful to visit the fields and speak with those impacted by the salt intrusion.
"We saw firsthand the effects of climate change, salt water intrusion, and unsustainable farming practices, and I think it's something we're going to see more of," said Walter. "When you're sitting behind a computer for so long, you can lose that human component so I think that's why the fieldwork was so important for us, to get that connection between the land, the farmers and those affected. One of the farmers said to us, 'As soon as you finish this work or publish this work, please send it my way and let me know.' So it was great to see that the farmers are also interested in this, and they also want to know what's happening."

text: The human bile acid-sensitive ion channel (hBASIC) is a cation channel of the degenerin/epithelial Na(+) channel gene family that is expressed in the intestinal tract and can be activated by bile acids. Here, we show that in addition to its sensitivity for bile acids, hBASIC shares further key features with its rat ortholog: it is blocked by extracellular divalent cations, is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of the diarylamidine diminazene, and activated by millimolar concentrations of flufenamic acid. Furthermore, we demonstrate that two major bile acids present in human bile, chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid, activate hBASIC in a synergistic manner. In addition, we determined the single-channel properties of hBASIC in outside-out patch clamp recordings, revealing a single-channel conductance of about 11 pS and a high Na(+) selectivity. Deoxycholic acid activates hBASIC in patch clamp recordings mainly by reducing the single-channel closed time. In summary, we provide a thorough functional characterization of hBASIC.

Posted by Alex on.
the mass of cylinder one is 1.35 times the mass of cylinder two, and the volume of cylinder one is 0.792 times the volume of cylinder two. If the density of cylinder one is 2.70 g/cm3 what is the density of cylinder two?
THIS QUESTION HAS ME GOING CRAZY!!
density is mass/volume.
So, twice the mass, twice the density.
twice the volume, half the density. So, for cylinder 2, we have
(1/1.35) / (1/.792) * 2.70 = 1.584
d1 = m1/v2 = 2.70 g/cc
m1 = 1.35*m2 so
m2 = m1/1.35
V1 = 0.792*v2 so
v2 = v1/0.792
d2 = m2/v2
d2 = (m1/1.35)/( v1/0.792)
d2 = m1/1.35 x 0.792/v1 but
m1/v1 = 2.70
then d2 = 2.70 x (0.792/1.35) =?

This document consists of the detection and verification of a failure in the area of sea water pump of a Yanmar 6HAL2-DTN Auxiliary Engine no1 with 439800 running hours. Trend line was drawn using the sea water pump pressures from the engine sea trial record.
The sea water pump condition is based on the pressure readings taken during the engine operation. The data obtained from the engine analysis was processed, analyzed and compiled by a qualified professional analyst, resulting in the following recommendation:
Sea water pump condition has to be checked.
2.1 THEORETICAL REFRENCES:
Low pressure of the sea water pump indicates a problem of excess clearance or damage on the impeller running surfaces.
2.2 VIBRATIONS SHOWN
Pressure measurements acquired can be shown as follow:
The sea water pump pressure is much lower than the pressure from the sea trials. As a conclusion of this analysis, it was recommended to check the sea water pump condition.
3 SHIP ENGINEERS CHECKS
The engine has been shut down then the sea water pump was disassembled to access the pump impeller. The clearance on the impeller was measured and was found to be substantial. For this type of sea water pump clearance on the running surface of the impeller should be between 0,20[mm] and 0,50 [mm]. The pump impeller has been replaced with a new one. Pump bearings and mechanical seals were also replaced.
After the pump reassembly was made the engine was started with the overhauled sea water pump and new measurements were taken the results can be shown as follow:
It is clearly shown that the sea water pump pressure is in the sea trials limit.
It can be concluded that the diagnosis obtained from the measurements and the data analysis was correct.

Elixir Advanced Features
Deploy Tracking
Scout can track deploys, making it easier to correlate changes in your app to performance. To enable deploy tracking, first ensure you are on the latest version of scout_apm. See our upgrade instructions.
Scout identifies deploys via the following:
 1. A revision_sha config setting.
 2. A SCOUT_REVISION_SHA environment variable equal to the SHA of your latest release.
 3. If you are using Heroku, enable Dyno Metadata. This adds a HEROKU_SLUG_COMMIT environment variable to your dynos, which Scout then associates with deploys.
Request Queuing
Our Elixir integration can measure the time it takes a request to reach your application from farther upstream (a load balancer or web server). This appears in Scout as "Request Queueing" and provides an indication of your application's capacity. Large request queueing time is an indication that your app needs more capacity.
Please view request queueing section to learn how to get these insights.
Note: For Elixir, we currently only support the following two headers: x-queue-start and x-request-start, and we don't support msec – or decimal millisecond. Example of valid header: x-request-start: "1234567890123"
Custom Context
Context lets you see the forest from the trees. For example, you can add custom context to answer critical questions like:
User Context
For context used to identify users (ex: id):
ScoutApm.add_user(key, value)
Examples:
ScoutApm.Context.add_user(:id, user.id)
General Context
ScoutApm.Context.add(key, value)
Examples:
ScoutApm.Context.add(:account, account.id)
ScoutApm.Context.add(:monthly_spend, account.monthly_spend)
Default Context
Scout reports the Request URI and the user's remote IP Address by default.
Context Value Types Context values can be any of the following types:
Context Key Restrictions
Context keys can be an Atom or String with only printable characters. Custom context keys may contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores. Spaces are not allowed. Attempts to add invalid context will be ignored.
PII
To best help protect you data, we suggest using ids instead of explicit names and emails
Custom Instrumentation
You can extend Scout to record additional types of transactions (background jobs, for example) and time the execution of code that fall outside our auto instrumentation.
For full details on instrumentation functions, see our ScoutApm. Tracing Hex docs.
Transactions & Timing
Scout's instrumentation is divided into 2 areas:
1. Transactions: these wrap around a flow of work, like a web request or a GenServer call. The UI groups data under transactions. Use the deftransaction/2 macro or wrap blocks of code with the transaction/4 macro.
2. Timing: these measure individual pieces of work, like an HTTP request to an outside service or an Ecto query, and displays timing information within a transaction trace. Use the deftiming/2 macro or the timing/4 macro.
Instrumenting transactions
deftransaction Macro Example
Replace your function def with deftransaction to instrument it.
You can override the name and type by setting the @transaction_opts attribute right before the function.
defmodule YourApp.Web.RoomChannel do
use Phoenix.Channel import ScoutApm.Tracing
# Will appear under "Web" in the UI, named "YourApp.Web.RoomChannel.join".
@transaction_opts [type: "web"]
deftransaction join("topic:html", _message, socket) do
 {:ok, socket}
end
# Will appear under "Background Jobs" in the UI, named "RoomChannel.ping".
@transaction_opts [type: "background", name: "RoomChannel.ping"]
deftransaction handle_in("ping", %{"body" => body}, socket) do
 broadcast! socket, "new_msg", %{body: body} {:noreply, socket}
end
transaction/4 Example
Wrap the block of code you'd like to instrument with transaction/4:
import ScoutApm.Tracking def
 do_async_work do Task.start(fn ->
 # Will appear under "Background Jobs" in the UI, named "Do Work".
 transaction(:background, "Do Work") do
 # Do work...
 end
 end)
end
See the ScoutApm.Tracing Hexdocs for details on instrumenting transactions.
Timing functions and blocks of code
deftiming Macro Example
Replace your function def with deftiming to instrument it. You can override the name and category by setting the @timing_opts attribute right before the function.
defmodule Searcher do
 import ScoutApm.Tracing
 # Time associated with this function will appear under "Hound" in timeseries charts.
 # The function will appear as 'Hound/open_search' in transaction traces.
 @timing_opts [category: "Hound"] deftiming open_search(url) do
 navigate_to(url)
 end
 # Time associated with this function will appear under "Hound" in timeseries charts.
 # The function will appear as 'Hound/homepage' in transaction traces.
 @timing_opts [category: "Hound", name: "homepage"]
 deftiming open_homepage(url) do
 navigate_to(url)
end
timing/4 Example
Wrap the block of code you'd like to instrument with timing/4:
defmodule PhoenixApp.PageController do
use PhoenixApp.Web, :controller import ScoutApm.Tracing
def index(conn, _params) do
 timing("Timer", "sleep") do
 :timer.sleep(3000)
 end
 render conn, "index.html"
end
See the ScoutApm.Tracing Hexdocs for details on timing functions and blocks of code. #### Limits on category arity We limit the number of unique categories that can be instrumented. Tracking too many unique category can impact the performance of our UI. Do not dynamically generate categories in your instrumentation (ie timing("user_#{user.id}", "generate", do: do_work()) as this can quickly exceed our rate limits.
Adding a description
Call ScoutApm.Tracing.update_desc/1 to add relevant information to the instrumented item. This description is then viewable in traces. An example:
timing("HTTP", "GitHub_Avatar") do
 url = "_URL_
 update_desc("GET #{url}")
 HTTPoison.get(url)
end
Tracking
Already executed time Libraries like Ecto log details on executed queries. This includes timing information. To add a trace item for this, use ScoutApm.Tracing.track. An example:
defmodule YourApp.Mongo.Repo do
 use Ecto.Repo # Scout instrumentation of Mongo queries. These appear in traces as "Ecto/Read", "Ecto/Write", etc.
 def log(entry) do
 ScoutApm.Tracing.track( "Ecto", query_name(entry), entry.query_time, :microseconds )
 super entry
 end
end
In the example above, the metric will appear in traces as Ecto/#{query_time(entry)}. On timeseries charts, the time will be allocated to Ecto. See the scout_apm hex docs for more information on track/.
Server Timing
View performance metrics (time spent in Controller, Ecto, etc) for each of your app's requests in Chrome's Developer tools with the plug_server_timing package. Production-safe.
server timing
For install instructions and configuration options, see plug_server_timing on GitHub.

We now have support for ARM and graviton.


Octopus Deploy Documentation
Authoring an Octopus Server extension
Last updated
This is the key NuGet package you will need in order to build an Octopus Server extension.
This namespace contains the interfaces and structures an extension can implement, which the Octopus Server will go looking for.
The key interface to be aware of is IOctopusExtension, as this forms the entry point for your extension and without it the server cannot load your extension. An example of its usage is as follows:
 [OctopusPlugin("Directory Services", "Octopus Deploy")]
 public class DirectoryServicesExtension : IOctopusExtension
 public void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
The second important component here is the OctopusPluginAttribute, which provides the description and author metadata for the extension.
Octopus Deploy itself uses Autofac as its IoC container, and as such the extensions are provided with the container builder during startup, so they can register their own internal services.
Extension configuration
Many extensions will want to store configuration related to their own specific functionality, certainly all of the Octopus Deploy extensions do. To facilitate this, the server provides the extensions the ability to register their need to store a configuration object in the Configuration table in the database. Below is an example of a configuration object and its mapping class:
 public class DirectoryServicesConfiguration : IId
 public string Id { get; set; }
 public bool IsEnabled { get; set; }
 public string ActiveDirectoryContainer { get; set; }
 public AuthenticationSchemes AuthenticationScheme { get; set; }
 public bool AllowFormsAuthenticationForDomainUsers { get; set; }
 public class DirectoryServicesConfigurationMapping : IConfigurationDocumentMapper
 public Type GetTypeToMap() => typeof(DirectoryServicesConfiguration);
Things to note here are:
 - The configuration object is a POCO stored as serialized JSON in the database, so properties that are enums (as above) or POCOs themselves are supported.
 - The configuration object itself must implement IId, to provide the Id for the JSON data. This is typically a constant unique to your extension.
 - The mapping class must be registered as an IConfigurationDocumentMapper in Autofac when the extension is loaded.
Configuration stores and the configure command
Now that your extension has configuration, how do you set the configuration values? The pattern we're using involves a Configuration Store and a class that implements the IContributeToConfigureCommand interface. The IContributeToConfigureCommand interface is the key part. The store is a pattern that we've found works well for us (because in some cases we have data that may need to be migrated from the server.config into the DB), but is not mandatory. An example of an extension contributing to the configure command is as follows:
 public class DirectoryServicesConfigureCommands : IContributeToConfigureCommand, IHandleLegacyWebAuthenticationModeConfigurationCommand
 readonly ILog log;
 readonly IDirectoryServicesConfigurationStore activeDirectoryConfiguration;
 public DirectoryServicesConfigureCommands(
 ILog log,
 IDirectoryServicesConfigurationStore activeDirectoryConfiguration)
 this.log = log;
 this.activeDirectoryConfiguration = activeDirectoryConfiguration;
 public IEnumerable GetOptions()
 yield return new ConfigureCommandOption("activeDirectoryIsEnabled=", "Set whether active directory is enabled.", v =>
 var isEnabled = bool.Parse(v);
 log.Info($"Active directory IsEnabled set to: {isEnabled}");
 yield return new ConfigureCommandOption("activeDirectoryContainer=", "Set the active directory container used for authentication.", v =>
 log.Info($"Active directory container set to: {v}");
 yield return new ConfigureCommandOption("webAuthenticationScheme=", "When Domain authentication is used, specifies the scheme (Basic, Digest, IntegratedWindowsAuthentication, Negotiate, Ntlm)", v =>
 var scheme = (AuthenticationSchemes) Enum.Parse(typeof(AuthenticationSchemes), v);
 log.Info("Web authentication scheme: " + scheme);
 yield return new ConfigureCommandOption("allowFormsAuthenticationForDomainUsers=", "When Domain authentication is used, specifies whether the HTML-based username/password form can be used to sign in.", v =>
 var allowFormsAuthenticationForDomainUsers = bool.Parse(v);
 log.Info("Allow forms authentication for domain users: " + allowFormsAuthenticationForDomainUsers);
Services provided by the host
This section contains the interfaces and structures related to'services' that the extensions can consume from the Octopus Server itself. In this section, we'll detail a couple of interfaces you're most likely to need. To use them install the relevant NuGet package and take a dependency in your extension constructor.
ILog from Octopus.Diagnostics
This interface provides access to the server's logging infrastructure, so your extension can log Info, Warnings, Errors etc.
IKeyValueStore from Octopus.Configuration
This interface provides access to the server.config XML file, should your extension need to read/write configuration values there.
Building the extension
An extension is simply a.NET dll, so you can build it in any way that you would normally build your.NET code.
Extension points
At the moment you can only extend Authentication but we plan to expose more of Octopus internals in the future so stay tuned and check this page every now then for updates.

During the spring semester the K-State Department of Entomology takes time to recognize and remember Benjamin Franklin Mudge. Benjamin Franklin Mudge (right) was one of the first faculty to teach at what was then the Kansas State Agricultural College, later Kansas State University, starting in 1865. He taught the first entomology course at Kansas State ("Insects Injurious to Vegetation"), and it was also the first economic entomology course taught anywhere in the United States. He also taught courses in astronomy, physics, meteorology, botany, zoology, physiology, mineralogy, geology, physical geography, agricultural chemistry, among others. He was beloved by students, so it is entirely appropriate that we have a week of student-centered activities named in his honor. To learn more about this remarkable man, read this memorial written two years after his death in 1879.

7 Polish Martyrs
Memoirs of Priests Who Lived through World War II Published
| 1665 hits
By Father Mariusz Frukacz
CZESTOCHOWA, Polan, JUNE 21, 2012 (Zenit.org).- "Memoirs of War (_PHONE_) of Priests of the Diocese of Czestochowa" is the title of the book published recently by the Catholic weekly "Niedziela," which is part of the series "Library of Niedziela."
The memoirs in question are those of priests who survived the hell of concentration camps. They were gathered by historians Father Jacek Kapuscinski and Father Jan Zwiazek.
The book collects the writings of seven priests: Father Jan Brodzinski (_PHONE_), Father Roman Aleksander Konopka (_PHONE_), Father Jozef Kubica (_PHONE_), Father Antoni Mietlinski (_PHONE_), Father Maciej Namysly (_PHONE_), Father Serafin Opalka (_PHONE_) and Father Jozef Pruchnicki (_PHONE_).
Four of them recall the events and experiences of five concentration camps: Dachau, Gusen, Auschwitz, Konstantynow and Sosnowiec. The other three memoirs describe pastoral work during the Occupation, especially in the land of Wielun.
Each of these texts is preceded by a biographical profile and an historical comment, and is accompanied by other material.
The book opens with an article by Father Jan Zwiazek on the diocese of Czestochowa during the Nazi Occupation. It includes a series of photographs that illustrate the people and circumstances of World War II.
They are "the testimony of the extermination policy of Nazi Germany and of the suffering that those endured who wished to persevere in the faith and in fidelity to their own nation," said professor Zygmunt Zielinski.
According to retired Archbishop Stanislaw Nowak of Czestochowa, the war memoirs of diocesan priests "are the testimony of man's great love of God, of the fatherland and of the Church, as well as signs of adherence to the priesthood."
"We can read these memoirs as the Acts of Martyrs of the 20th century. This book will be spiritual reading which will help us also to form our moral attitudes," added the archbishop.
For Father Jacek Kapuscinski, one of the authors, the memoirs, written in 1945, about experiences of World War II: "are a most precious treasure for historians, but also for our generation that must know the history of its Fatherland and of the Church."
The most difficult situation for the Polish Catholic population during the War in the territory of the diocese of Czestochowa, occurred in the so-called "Warthegau," a region that looks out on the Warta river, in a part of the diocese of Czestochowa, in the Wielun district.
From the beginning of the War, the priests of the Wielun region were subjected to repression. On November 9, 1939, the Germans arrested seven Catholic priests and a Protestant pastor. On October 6, 1941, all the priests were arrested and taken to a transit camp in the neighborhood of Lodz, and then to Dachau concentration camp.
In total, 55 priests from Wielun were sent to Dachau, two of whom were monks. During _PHONE_, the total number of priests of the diocese of Czestochowa who were killed was 61. Among them were also Father Maksimiian Binkiwewicz and Father Lugwik Gietyngier, beatified by Pope John Paul II on June 13, 1999, at Warsaw.


[FFmpeg-devel] Definition of audio and video frames according to av_read_frame()
Unga unga888 at yahoo.com
Sun Aug 26 08:52:22 CEST 2012
Dear all
FFmpeg documentation says "For video, the packet contains exactly one frame. For audio, it contains an integer number of frames if each frame has a known fixed size (e.g. PCM or ADPCM data). If the audio frames have a variable size (e.g. MPEG audio), then it contains one frame."
1. Regarding video, does av_read_frame() return anything other than I-frame,
P-frame or B-frame?
2. Regarding audio, what is the definition of audio frame? If I say, an audio frame contain one audio sample, is it correct?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards

 - If a task must run against a different host, the task must use delegate_to or local_action.
7.4. Updating RHEL compute machines in your cluster
After you update your cluster, you must update the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) compute machines in your cluster.
Important
Because only Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 7.9 or later is supported for worker (compute) machines, you must not upgrade the RHEL worker machines to version 8.
You can also update your compute machines to another minor version of OpenShift Container Platform if you are using RHEL as the operating system. You do not need to exclude any RPM packages from RHEL when performing a minor version update.
Prerequisites
 - You updated your cluster.
 Important
 Because the RHEL machines require assets that are generated by the cluster to complete the update process, you must update the cluster before you update the RHEL worker machines in it.
 - You have access to the local machine that you used to add the RHEL compute machines to your cluster. You must have access to the hosts Ansible inventory file that defines your RHEL machines and the upgrade playbook.
 - For updates to a minor version, the RPM repository is using the same version of OpenShift Container Platform that is running on your cluster.
Procedure
 1. Stop and disable firewalld on the host:
 # systemctl disable --now firewalld.service
 Note
 By default, the base OS RHEL with "Minimal" installation option enables firewalld serivce. Having the firewalld service enabled on your host prevents you from accessing OpenShift Container Platform logs on the worker. Do not enable firewalld later if you wish to continue accessing OpenShift Container Platform logs on the worker.
 2. Enable the repositories that are required for OpenShift Container Platform 4.6:
 1. On the machine that you run the Ansible playbooks, update the required repositories:
 # subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-ose-4.5-rpms \
 --enable=rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms \
 --enable=rhel-7-server-ose-4.6-rpms
 2. On the machine that you run the Ansible playbooks, update the required packages, including openshift-ansible:
 # yum update openshift-ansible openshift-clients
 3. On each RHEL compute node, update the required repositories:
 # subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-ose-4.5-rpms \
 --enable=rhel-7-server-ose-4.6-rpms \
 --enable=rhel-7-fast-datapath-rpms \
 --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
 3. Update a RHEL worker machine:
 1. Review the current node status to determine which RHEL worker to update:
 # oc get node
 Example output
 NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
 mycluster-control-plane-0 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-control-plane-1 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-control-plane-2 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-rhel7-0 NotReady,SchedulingDisabled worker 98m v1.14.6+97c81d00e
 mycluster-rhel7-1 Ready worker 98m v1.14.6+97c81d00e
 mycluster-rhel7-2 Ready worker 98m v1.14.6+97c81d00e
 mycluster-rhel7-3 Ready worker 98m v1.14.6+97c81d00e
 Note which machine has the NotReady,SchedulingDisabled status.
 2. Review your Ansible inventory file at /<path>/inventory/hosts and update its contents so that only the machine with the NotReady,SchedulingDisabled status is listed in the [workers] section, as shown in the following example:
 [all:vars]
 ansible_user=root
 #ansible_become=True

 openshift_kubeconfig_path="~/.kube/config"

 [workers]
 mycluster-rhel7-0.example.com
 3. Change to the openshift-ansible directory:
 $ cd /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible
 4. Run the upgrade playbook:
 $ ansible-playbook -i /<path>/inventory/hosts playbooks/upgrade.yml 1
 1
 For <path>, specify the path to the Ansible inventory file that you created.
 Note
 The upgrade playbook only upgrades the OpenShift Container Platform packages. It does not update the operating system packages.
 4. Follow the process in the previous step to update each RHEL worker machine in your cluster.
 5. After you update all of the workers, confirm that all of your cluster nodes have updated to the new version:
 # oc get node
 Example output
 NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
 mycluster-control-plane-0 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-control-plane-1 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-control-plane-2 Ready master 145m v1.19.0
 mycluster-rhel7-0 NotReady,SchedulingDisabled worker 98m v1.19.0
 mycluster-rhel7-1 Ready worker 98m v1.19.0
 mycluster-rhel7-2 Ready worker 98m v1.19.0
 mycluster-rhel7-3 Ready worker 98m v1.19.0
 6. Optional: Update the operating system packages that were not updated by the upgrade playbook. To update packages that are not on 4.6, use the following command:
 # yum update
 Note
 You do not need to exclude RPM packages if you are using the same RPM repository that you used when you installed 4.6.
Chapter 8. Updating a restricted network cluster
You can update a restricted network OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using the oc command-line interface (CLI).
A restricted network environment is the one in which your cluster nodes cannot access the internet. For this reason, you must populate a registry with the installation images. If your registry host cannot access both the internet and the cluster, you can mirror the images to a file system that disconnected from that environment and then bring that host or removable media across that gap. If the local container registry and the cluster are connected to the mirror registry's host, you can directly push the release images to the local registry.
If multiple clusters are present within the restricted network, mirror the required release images to a single container image registry and use that registry to update all the clusters.
8.1. Prerequisites
 - Have access to the internet to obtain the necessary container images.
 - Have write access to a container registry in the restricted-network environment to push and pull images. The container registry must be compatible with Docker registry API v2.
 - You must have the oc command-line interface (CLI) tool installed.
 - Have access to the cluster as a user with admin privileges. See Using RBAC to define and apply permissions.
 - Have a recent etcd backup in case your update fails and you must restore your cluster to a previous state.
 - Ensure that all machine config pools (MCPs) are running and not paused. Nodes associated with a paused MCP are skipped during the update process.
 - If your cluster uses manually

Red River Zoo Teaches Kids Importance Of Farming At Agricultural Adventure Day
This Is The 4th Agricultural Adventure Day For The Zoo
FARGO, N.D. — At the Red River Zoo, families are learning about the agricultural industry and how crops grown around the state are used for multiple things.
"These crops that are grown like the field corn here is actually used for ethanol. To find out the alternative use for these crops besides food is really important, so they see what agriculture has on the world," Board Member For The Red River Zoo Abbey Wick said.
Kids collected stamps on their passport at multiple sites with experts teaching the importance of soil, crop growing, and seeing large farming equipment.
Teaching kids the importance of maintaining soil and learning how agriculture impacts everyone.
Staff say a big perk for families is offering free admission to kids during the adventure day so everyone can come out and enjoy.
"It's definitely a draw for agricultural day, so parents got to pay but the kids get in free, and it's a great way for your kids to get to the zoo and you can see all the awesome cold-climate animals the zoo has to offer,"Wick said.
Wick says the zoo will continue to provide a safe place for families to come together and enjoy themselves.
"I think the zoo is such a great resource cause it's an outdoor space for your kids; they have great distancing and safety protocols in place right now," Wick said.

Ruby Question
Return user to where they came from
Is there a way you can return a user to where they came from without having to go deep into else if statements?
Such as, say they came from here:
def start
puts "Some code press 'E' to go to examples"
input = gets.chomp
if input =~ /e/i
examples
else
start
end
end
And they went to examples:
def examples
puts "Examples of code to return to where you came from type 'return'"
input = gets.chomp
if input == 'return'
#<= (return them to where they came from)
I know that in order to do this you call the method which would be
start
but I want them to return to where they came from no matter where they come from, be it
start, lesson_1, lesson_2, lesson_3
etc. Without having to make a ridiculous amount of if elsif else statements. Is there a way to do this without going super deep into if else statements?
Meaning;
if input == "y"
start
if input == "r"
return
if input == "w"
wait
else
return
end
else
start
end
else
return
end
Answer
The sort of thing you're describing is solved by a finite state machine.
Rather than having a big, complicated if/elsif block, you define states of your program and what states they can move into. You can draw this out like a flowchart.
 - Start the program -> start
 - start -> wait or start
 - wait -> quit or start
 - quit -> Exit the program
The FSM can be done as a class, each state is a method. The methods only need to know about their next steps.
Here's an article about state machines in Ruby and list of Ruby state machine libraries.


How do we change a project's status? What do the project statuses mean?
Replicon has several statuses that can be associated with a project: Tentative, In Progress, Completed, Deferred, Cancelled, and Archived. A project's current status displays in the top, right-hand corner of the project's page.
In Progress is the only status that allows time entry against the project; therefore, if you want to halt time entry, you should change the status to anything else. When you create a new project, it is assigned In Progress status, by default.
Archived status prevents time entry against projects, but also prevents projects from displaying in the All or My Projects lists on the Projects > Projects page. Therefore, you'd typically archive only projects you don't need ready access to. You might, for example, decide to mark all finished projects as Completed, and then change their status to Archived a year or two later.
You can report on the status of projects using just about any of the project reports.
Changing a project's status
To change the status of a project:
 1. Go to Projects > Projects, and select the project whose status you want to change.
 2. Click the current status in the project status summary bar located in the top, right-hand corner of the page, and select a new status for the project.
 1. Move the percent complete toggle, if you want to mark the percent complete for the project.
Changing the status of multiple projects at once
To edit multiple projects at once to have the same status:
 1. Go to Projects > Projects.
 2. Mark the check box beside each project whose status you want to change.
 3. Click the Mass Edit button at the top of the page.
 4. Select the new status from the Status filter.
 5. Click Save.
You can also mass edit project statuses using the RIA import tool.
Can we reopen a project that I've marked as Completed, Deferred, Cancelled, or Archived?
Yes, you can always reopen projects of any status.


YouTuber Makes a Folding Bike and Now So Can You
The video shows steps by step instructions to making a folding bike that are surprisingly easy to follow.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention and such is the case for Laura Kampf, a YouTuber that found herself unable to travel on a train in Germany due to having her bike with her. Kampf did some further research and discovered that you can take a bike with you on a train if it is folded.
She then decided to make her own folding bike. How did this YouTuber make such a bike from a regular bike? With a lot of creativity and some heavy duty tools.
First, she used chain saws to cut the bike in two. Then, using parts of a bike chain, she connected two rectangular pieces of metals.
She used those two pieces to connect the two parts of the bike together in a way that they can actually fold. How ingenious! She even installed some locks to keep the bike perfectly in place when it is put on bike mode.
The end result is a folding bike that can be carried anywhere as a folded accessory. Watch the video to see this incredible transformation. Do you think you can make your own folded bike?

Water bridge (5mm length, 1mm diameter) between two glasses filled with heavy water, under a voltage of 15 kV.
In 1893 Sir William Armstrong reported a remarkable experiment: if a high voltage is established between two wine-glasses filled to the brim with pure water and connected by a cotton thread, a rope of water is formed and remains suspended between the lips of the two glasses. This "water bridge" can subsist for a few seconds even once the thread has been removed.
Recently, a group of physicists from Graz University, Austria succeeded on establishing a bridge (without any thread!) between the two glasses under a voltage of 20 kV. The length of the bridge may reach values larger than 1 cm, its diameter is of the order of a few mm and the lifetime currently exceeds 1 hour. Under the effect of the electrical field, the local temperature increases and reaches 60° C, a temperature sufficient to break the bridge. More...

After a caesarean, you'll have stitches causing a scar along your bikini line. This scar needs time to heal. You will need to be careful with it for at least 6 weeks or it could tear.
Do not do anything that puts extra pressure on your wound.
- lifting anything heavier than your baby
- pulling yourself up into a sit up position from bed
When you are getting out of bed, roll onto your side before getting up.
Focus on your posture
Focus on retraining your posture. This will help your tummy muscles strengthen to support your scar.
Your tummy muscles are usually still intact after a caesarean delivery. They are moved to the side during surgery to allow your baby out of your uterus (womb).
But during pregnancy and birth they do stretch and get longer. This is why working on your posture is important.
Start pelvic floor exercises and gentle walking when you feel ready. Walking is good for your physical and mental health. Listen to your body and take it easy when you're tired.
Speak to your GP before doing any other exercise. You may have to wait for at least 6 weeks.
You will need to wait 3 to 4 months after your baby is born to do high impact exercise. This includes gym exercises and running or jogging. This is because your scar needs at least 12 weeks to heal properly.
Only start high-impact exercise if:
- your scar is healing and has not been a cause for concern
- you have followed the exercise advice for week 0 to 12 weeks to build a strong foundation
Start back to high-impact exercise at a beginner's level.
If you are jogging, start with a very gentle pace and distance. Gradually increase your distance or pace over a period of time.
Do the same with gym exercises. Ask the gym instructor to check that your technique is good. Do this before pushing your body harder than it might have the strength or endurance for.
Talk to your GP if you have any doubt if you ready to return If in doubt or uncomfortable speak with your GP.

The various Factions in Ghost Recon Wildlands.
The Bolivia depicted in Ghost Recon Wildlands is ruled by a corrupt government that has recruited the Unidad force to control the population and suppress any signs of revolt. As a trained military force, they exert their authority with violence and impunity. To face them, local Bolivians have started a rebel movement: the Kataris 26. Led by the charismatic Pac Katari, a natural-born warrior who believes in the force of nature and the balance between good and evil, they fight for the freedom of their people. In the middle of this war, the Civilians try to survive.

text: Dissociation can be broadly understood as alterations in consciousness where integrated processing of psychological and/or sensory information is disrupted. Following Schumaker's (1995) suggestion that dissociation elicited by religions ritual provides the basis for religious beliefs, the current aim was to empirically assess the relationship between dissociation, religious ritual, and religious beliefs. Four samples with varying levels of religious commitment were administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale, the Francis Scale of Attitude Toward Christianity-short form, and the Maranell Religious Ritual Scale. Dissociation scores were highest in the young Catholic sample and lowest in the Fellowship group. However, these results are largely affected by the covariate of age. No relationship was found between dissociation, religious attitude, and religions ritual in the student sample. However, small to moderate significant correlations were found in the Catholic sample. Results are discussed with reference to Schumaker's theoretical proposal and directions are suggested for future assessment of the dissociation-religiosity relationship.

Rabbit Pose: The Fun way to Progress Writing Skills
Rabbit pose can be challenging, especially for younger children. Encourage your child to try this activity along with you, but if they are not enjoying it, please don't insist. They may not be quite ready yet. Try the less challenging rabbit pose (see further down) instead.
Before you start
Find a clear space on the carpet or a mat. Make sure you both have a clear space around you so you are not likely to bump your heads! When young children does this pose they may look down at their feet and hands instead of straight ahead.
Take off your shoes and socks to prevent slips and to help your child feel the mat with their feet and hands accurately.
Always seek advice if you are unsure about whether Rabbit pose is suitable for yourself.
How to do rabbit pose
Squat down on the mat or carpet with your child. Show them how they can balance on their feet with their hands down in front of them – so they can use their hands to balance as well.
Guide your child to reach forward with their hands first, keeping their feet still.
With your hands out in front, slowly bring your weight forwards so that you're taking more weight through your shoulders, arms and hands. Encourage your child to copy.
Now it's time to move your feet! With your weight on your hands, hop both your feet towards your hands, like a bouncing bunny.
Repeat your rabbit yoga pose, lolloping forward a few times so your child has a chance to refine their hops.
On their first attempts your child may tend to land on their knees as they hop, instead of their feet. If this is the case show your child the pose again – this time emphasising how a bunny lands on his back paws!
A variation of rabbit pose
Try jumping over a river or grass. Your child will probably find rabbit pose easier to do if they have something to look at and jump over.
Whilst you are both squatting down, place a narrow scarf, streamer or piece of ribbon on the floor in front of you both.
Show your child how they can place their hands over the streamer first and then hop their feet over it!
The benefits of rabbit pose
How rabbit pose helps to support writing skills
Progressing writing skills doesn't always mean doing more writing! In fact paediatric occupational and physiotherapists will often suggest whole body activities (just like rabbit pose) to help a child refine their hand skills. Here are 3 ways in which rabbit pose can help support writing skills:
1. Gaining strength to support writing
To sit correctly, your child needs to have active tummy muscles, otherwise they may tend to slump forwards.
If your child's shoulder muscles are active and strong, they will use these muscles to support the weight of their arm, freeing their delicate hand muscles for writing. If shoulder muscles are inactive or weak your child may try to support their whole arm with their hand muscles and this can lead to a very tight pencil grip and hand ache.
2. Refining sensory organisation skills
As they do rabbit pose variation (jumping over a scarf or ribbon), your child will be organising huge amounts of different sensory information in their brain e.g. information from their visual, touch and movement (proprioceptive and vestibular) senses. This sequence of:
taking in sensations > processing sensations in the brain >in order to do a specific activity
is powerful way of practising and developing sensory organisation! When a child is learning to write, good sensory organisation skills will help them to focus on relevant sensory information e.g. their pencil grip and hand movements and to 'filter out' irrelevant sensory information e.g. a sound outside, a picture hanging on the wall, or the feel of their clothing.
3. Stretching & developing hand muscles
As your child takes weight through their hands they will be activating and gently stretching out their hand muscles, preparing them for writing and drawing activities.
A more challenging rabbit pose
Want to make Rabbit pose harder? See if you and your child can do rabbit pose backwards!
Squat down on the floor as before. This time place your hands close to your feet between your legs. Once again tip forwards so your nose is in front of your knees and you are balancing more on your arms, but now hop both your feet backwards. Move your whole body backwards onto your feet, so you're squatting again and repeat the action to keep hopping backwards.
A less challenging rabbit pose
Rabbit pose can be difficult as the movement sequence requires mature co-ordination skills.
If your child is younger, or is struggling with rabbit pose, encourage them to either:
Bend and straighten their knees whilst they are standing – the start of jumping or
To play in the 'squat' position – reaching down for toys on the floor and then putting them in little containers. Most young children can squat in a perfect position!
A Rabbit Poem for A Spring Weekend
Our resident paediatric physiotherapist, Sue Heron, loved this poem as a child.
Remember to twitch your nose as you say it and get your rabbits and bunnies in the right order!
Rabbit Poem by Georgia Roberts Durston
There once was a rabbit, who developed the habit, of twitching the end of his nose,
His brothers and sisters, and various others, said "Look at the way he goes!"
Now one clever bunny, said "That's very funny, I'll practice it down in the dell"
The rest said "If he can, we're positive we can" – and they did it remarkably well.
Now all the world over, where rabbits eat clover and scribble and scratch with their toes,
There's isn't a rabbit, who hasn't the habit, of twitching the end of his nose!

Face Identification by a Cascade of Rejection Classifiers
MetadataShow full item record
Nearest neighbor search is commonly employed in face recognition but it does not scale well to large dataset sizes. A strategy to combine rejection classifiers into a cascade for face identification is proposed in this paper. A rejection classifier for a pair of classes is defined to reject at least one of the classes with high confidence. These rejection classifiers are able to share discriminants in feature space and at the same time have high confidence in the rejection decision. In the face identification problem, it is possible that a pair of known individual faces are very dissimilar. It is very unlikely that both of them are close to an unknown face in the feature space. Hence, only one of them needs to be considered. Using a cascade structure of rejection classifiers, the scope of nearest neighbor search can be reduced significantly. Experiments on Face Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) version 1 data demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant speed up and an accuracy comparable with the brute force Nearest Neighbor method. In addition, a graph cut based clustering technique is employed to demonstrate that the pairwise separability of these rejection classifiers is capable of semantic grouping.

A WPF bullet graph is a variation of the bar graph, which was developed as a complement for the dashboard gauges and meters. The bullet graph features a single, primary measure (for example, current year-to-date revenue), and compares that measure to one or more other measures to enrich its meaning (for example, compared to a target). It also has the ability to display the measures in the context of a qualitative range of performance such as poor, satisfactory, and good.

There are some great reasons to make Discord emojis bigger or even other emojis for that matter. Emojis are and will get increasingly popular as we get newer messaging apps. Many users think of how to enlarge emoji and the answer to that is Vance AI Image Enlarger tool, which can automatically increase Discord emoji size. Simply read ahead if you want to make emoji bigger.
Review of Vance AI Image Enlarger
You don't have to worry about how to make Discord emojis bigger if you are using an application like the AI Image Enlarger due to its technology and overall design. The basics are that Vance AI Image Enlarger, as well as all other Vance AI applications, are built from AI and Deep Learning based technologies. This makes the tool capable of automatic conversions and image processing. As users, you can easily process images with a simple upload. The Image Enlarger can make Discord emojis bigger by sharpening it and increasing its resolutions at the same time. You will then have a Discord emoji size that is increased and sharpened.
How to Make Discord Emojis Bigger with Vance AI Image Enlarger?
If you want to know how to make emojis bigger on Android, iPhone, desktop, or anywhere online, follow this simple step by step guide.
1. Access the Application
You can use the image upscaler link in order to access the website and the tool. Now, you will need to click on Upload Image to prompt the Workspace window.

It doesn't matter if you want to know how to make emojis bigger on iPhone or any platform, these steps will give the result anywhere and anytime.
Performance of Vance AI Image Enlarger
Now you will see a few conversions made by the image enlarger application online.
make discord emojis bigger
The original image here is upscaled twice its size and the application manages to uphold the image quality pretty easily. Other than that, the tool has also made sure the image is sharp even at double resolutions. The processing didn't take much time either, producing this result in just a few seconds. They have done a good job with comparisons too, as you can compare both images in multiple ways.
make discord emojis bigger

In this case, the original image is upscaled upto 4 times its original size. Naturally, the image processing this time took a bit more time that it did for 2 times upscaling but it was still quick enough. Furthermore, the increase in image quality is still strong. The colors of the After image are a bit brighter too, especially when you consider the knife.
make discord emojis bigger

Finally, the original image in this case has been upscaled 6 times its original size. Again, it is great to see that the image upscaler tool has managed to heighten the quality of the image enough to support its increase in resolutions. Other than that, the image still has the sharp colors and edges that make it ready to use.
Conclusion
Vance AI is a remarkable online application that manages to increase resolutions and quality simultaneously.

What is IBMC?
____ Each year Turner Fenton Secondary School hosts the International Baccalaureate Mentorship Conference (IBMC) to help ease the transition for grade nine students from their middle school in to the Middle Years Program (MYP). The International Baccalaureate Mentorship Conference is a one day conference that provides the opportunity to interact with other students in the, Middle Years and Diploma program.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2013 International Baccalaureate Mentorship Conference on September 14th for a fun-filled and informative day!
The conference aims to help new students gain a better understanding of the years they face ahead in the IB program. It provides students with the background, knowledge, and skills necessary to excel throughout the four years of the IB program. IBMC helps nurture a foundation for the new students to become well-rounded individuals that excel academically and contribute to the school community.
At IBMC, grade nine students will become delegates and take part in team-building activities that foster confidence and collaboration amongst their peers. Throughout the conference, delegates enjoy several fun-filled entertaining activities that give them an unforgettable experience. Their day also includes teacher-led lessons that clarify the philosophy component and requirements of the IB program; such as the Learner Profile, Areas of Interaction and a Personal Project. The three hundred delegates that participate in IBMC are given the opportunity to have fun, make new friends and gain essential skills for the years ahead.
The idea for the conference came from 3 grade 12 IB students who wanted to foster the relationships among the older grade 11 and 12 IB students and the incoming grade 9 MYP students. Today this conference is organized by 30 IB student volunteers in 10 months of planning. The, delegates gain insight and understanding about the IB program from both teachers, and students enriched with experiences of the IB program.


text: This paper presents two surrogate-assisted optimization strategies for structural constrained multiobjective optimization. The optimization strategies are based on hybridization of multiobjective population-based incremental learning (MOPBIL) and radial-basis function (RBF) interpolation. The first strategy uses MOPBIL for generating training points while the second strategy uses a Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) technique. The design case study is the shape and sizing design of a torque arm structure. A design problem is set to minimize structural mass and displacement while constraints include stresses due to three different load cases. Structural analysis is carried out by means of a finite element approach. The design problem is then tackled by the proposed surrogate-assisted design strategies. Numerical results show that the use of MOPBIL for generating training points is superior to the use of LHS based on a hypervolume indicator and root mean square error (RMSE).

Type: Planet
Natives: Horda
Appearance: The Face of Evil
An Earth-like planet had at least part of its surface covered in dense jungle. The Horda was one of the native life forms.
In the far future, the planet was colonised by the Mordee expedition. Shortly after they arrived, the Fourth Doctor visited and assisted them in repairing their computer, Xoanon. Centuries after his original visit, the Doctor returned to the planet, only to find that the Mordee had split into two groups, the Sevateem and the Tesh, both of whom worshipped Xoanon, who had gone mad from the Doctor's efforts to help. After restoring Xoanon's sanity and reuniting the two tribes, the Doctor left, accompanied by the Sevateem warrior Leela. (TV: The Face of Evil)

A misdialed call or wrong number is a telephone call to an incorrect telephone number. This may occur because the number has been physically misdialled, the number is simply incorrect, or because the area code or ownership of the number has changed. In North America, toll-free numbers are a frequent source of wrong numbers because they often have a history of prior ownership. In the United Kingdom, many misdialled calls have been due to public confusion over the dialling codes for some areas.
The recipient of a wrong number is usually unknown to the caller. This aspect has been used in social science experiments designed to study the willingness of people to help strangers, and the extent to which this is affected by characteristics such as race. This experimental method is known as the "wrong-number technique".
On a landline, wrong numbers are harmless to the recipient other than the annoyance of answering an unwanted call. But on a cellphone, if the plan charges minutes for incoming calls, a wrong number may cost the subscriber one or more minutes.
Sources of misdialled calls are similar to sources of typographical error:
- Pressing one or more wrong keys on the keypad of the phone (example 2379 rather than 2349)
- Pressing a key on the dialpad more times than appears in succession in the phone number, thereby completing the length of the number prior to completing the intended number (example 7522-7 with the final 7 being ignored rather than 7527)
- Getting the digits in the phone number out of order (example 3416 rather than 3146)
Proper telephone etiquette recommends that the wrongly dialled party politely inform the caller of that fact, and also that the caller apologize rather than simply hanging up. Often the two parties will confirm whether or not the intended number is indeed the number that was reached (e.g. "Is this _PHONE_?") before ending the call. It is widely considered "dangerous" for the called party to disclose their phone number — rather it is considered more prudent to require the calling party to state which number he dialled and for the called party to simply confirm whether or not that is his number.

I know that Sas starts with the observation at the top of a dataset when processing and proceeds to the next until it reaches the bottom observation, but is there an easy way to make sas process the bottom observation first and then work its way to the top?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
You certainly can change your data to be in reverse order, then process top down. Add a variable to the data set which acts as an index..then sort the data set descending by that variable.
data work.myData ;
 set work.myData ;
 indx = _n_ ;
run ;
proc sort data=work.myData ;
 by descending indx ;
run ;

+1 for a version which works with views as well as data sets – Simon Nickerson May 28 '09 at 15:00
You can use nobs and point to process it backwards without having to do any intermediate steps. Here's an example:
data backwards;
 do k= nobs to 1 by -1;
 set sashelp.class nobs = nobs point=k;
proc print data=sashelp.class;run;
proc print data=backwards;run;

The Jackson deserialize and cast to Integer all numbers if value in range of Integers instead it cast to Long. I would like to cast ALL values to Long. Is it exist easy solution of issue?
share|improve this question
possible duplicate of Forcing Jackson to deserialize to specific primitive type – Fabian Lange Jul 22 at 19:35
1 Answer 1
Jackson deserializes to type you tell it to, so if you declare property to be of type long or Long it would construct it as long. But maybe you are binding to "untyped" structure like Map? If all values are of type Long, you could just declare type appropriately, like:
Map map = objectMapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference>() { });
Alternatively might be able to add custom Deserializer for Object.class with different handling (default deserializer is org.codehaus.jackson.map.deser.UntypedObjectDeserializer).
It might help if I knew what you are actually trying to do -- Integer and Long are both numbers, so often distinction does not matter a lot... so what is the reason to require Longs?
share|improve this answer
The deserialized numbers are IDs of objects that I would like to retrieved through the Hibernate. When I use Integer it throw an exception that it can convert from integer to long. – eugenn Jun 30 '10 at 13:14
Then the easiest way might be to explicitly just convert these, something like 'Long id = numberValue.longValue();'. Unless if map only has numeric values, in which you can declare types as Map (as I mentioned above) – StaxMan Jul 1 '10 at 7:06
_USER_ explicit conversion will become redundant when the IDs become long so wouldn't some form of type casting (e.g. JsonTypeInfo) be preferable? – ajostergaard Aug 24 '13 at 7:02
Jackson does type co(nv)ercions where necessary. So if POJO indicated that long or Long are needed, that's what you'd get. The original post is vague enough that I don't really know enough to know what the right answer is. But polymorphic type inclusion does not seem to be part of the picture. – StaxMan Aug 27 '13 at 17:43

The Tominé Reservoir is a reservoir in northern Cundinamarca, Colombia about 60 kilometers north of Bogotá. It is 18 kilometers long and 4 wide, and reaching at its maximum depth at 38 meters. Its objectives are to control water levels for hydroelectric plants in the region and supply drinking water to Bogotá. It is adjacent to the municipalities of Sesquilé and Guatavita.
The reservoir was completed in 1967. The town of Guatavita was intentionally flooded for the construction and functioning of the reservoir. Guatavita was rebuilt on higher grounds.
Today, Tominé hosts water sports and other water-related events.

Q: Why is the term "seed" used when a player is put into particular bracket in a sporting contest? Is it because the organizers try to "plant" the best players around so they don't meet until the playoffs?
A: The Oxford English Dictionary's entry for the sporting sense of the verb "seed" suggests that the usage evolved in the late 19th century as a tennis term.
The OED defines it as "to assign (to several of the better competitors) a position in an ordered list, so that those most highly ranked do not meet until the later stages of an elimination competition; to arrange (a draw or event) to this end."
The verb first appeared in print in 1898, the OED says, in this passage from the magazine American Lawn Tennis:
"Several years ago, it was decided to 'seed' the best players through the championship draw, and this was done for two or three years."
So the verb may have been around for several years before it was recorded in print. It obviously had staying power.
Here's another citation, from Spalding's Lawn Tennis Annual (1900): "It is generally advisable to 'seed' the draw in handicap tournaments so that the players in each class shall be separated as far as possible one from another."
The past participle and adjective "seeded" was used for events ("Longwood is never seeded," from 1911), as well as people ("three of the women who had been 'seeded' for the draw," 1929).
The noun "seed," meaning a seeded player, was slower to catch on. According to the OED, it was first used in print in 1933 in The Aldin Book of Outdoor Games, in a reference to "the Thibetan 'seed.' "
But why "seed"? The OED doesn't explain the connection, but we can speculate. The best players are deliberately spread around – "planted," as you suggest – so they aren't too close together in the early rounds.
The fact that seeding is an appropriate image explains why the term has found a place in the language of sports.
Now, of course, the term "seeded" is often used in a more general way to refer to a high-ranked team or player: "Kelly Robinson's cover was that of a top-seeded tennis pro."


Blazor WebAssembly: Performing the Table Pagination on Server-Side and Client-Side
Blazor is an interactive UI technology for modern Web Front-End apps, there are various kinds of UI and UX needs from the end-users. One such need is the Pagination of data that is shown in table form on the UI. In this article, we will implement Server-Side pagination using ASP.NET Core API defined using .NET 6 by using UI client as Blazor WebAssembly Application. The Blazor WebAssembly application executes in Browser. This is pure front-end application technology. In this article, we will implement an End-to-End .NET Full-Stack application and we will see a simple implementation of the Server-Side Pagination for fetching data from the Azure SQL database server and displaying it in Blazor Component that contains HTML Table.
This article has 2 phases in the first phase, we will see how to perform pagination on the in-memory collection that is already loaded in the browser, and in the second phase, we will see how the server-side pagination can be implemented by receiving data from Azure SQL database and API. Figure 1 will put light on the implementation
Figure 1: The Server-Side Pagination
This code of this article is implemented using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6. The .NET 6 can be downloaded from this link
Phase 1: The Client-Side Pagination based in the In-Memory Collection loaded
Step 1: Open VS2022 and create a new Blazor WebAssembly project. Name this project as Balz_Pagination. In this project add a new folder, name this folder as Models. In this folder add a new class file and name it as StatesCities.cs. In this file add the State and City classes as shown in listing 1

Hematite Iron ore beneficiation process flow
The haematite's another name is red iron ore,and its chemical structural formula is Fe203. it's a weak magnetic iron ore and the floatability is better than magnetite. And it is a main material of ironmaking. The main beneficiation process includes:gravity separation,floatation,strong magnetic beneficiation or mix several beneficiation process,and another process is magnetization roasting and then weak magnetic separation. The early haematite beneficiation mostly used the gravity separation process,and the main machines are:jigger,centrifugal separator,spiral chute,spiral washing machine,shaking table etc. Because some other beneficiations's production capacity was small,the grade after processing was low,recovery ratio is low and then was dumped as time goes on. Later as the haematite beneficiation developing,the floatation process ans high intensity magnetization process. It mainly use oxidized paraffinum sodium salt as the collector for floatation and electromagnetic strong magnetic separator as beneficiation equipment for strong magnetic separator. But the others beneficiation technology target were all not good enough. These latest years,the beneficiation process of haematite has developed very well. Especially use the high intensity magnetic separation which is can improve the grade of iron ore concentrate very well,and the recovery of Iron ore concentrate is satisfying.
Other mineral category:
1. Beneficiation process of magnetite ore
2. Beneficiation of hematite iron ore
3. Beneficiation process of tungsten ore
4. Beneficiation process of molybdenum ore
5. Beneficiation process of mirror iron ore
6. Beneficiation process of manganese ore
7. Beneficiation process of Lead Zinc(Zn) Ore

Zmodo won't connect to WiFi (solved)
If you have a Zmodo camera that won't connect to Wi-Fi there's a quick fix.
Zmodo camera
Usually the issue with Internet connection is related to the frequency the camera is operating at. When your router works at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, the Zmodo camera can associate itself to the wrong SSID (wireless signal name). But you can fix that.
Your Zmodo camera can't connect to the Internet
That's the first thing you usually notice. There's no Internet connection.
If the Zmodo camera doesn't connect to the wi-fi router, there's no way you can have access to the video stream through the Internet, so you need to make sure the camera can associate itself with your router.
The router and Zmodo camera frequency
A Zmodo camera can operate within the frequency of 2.4Ghz and some models can also operate within the 5Ghz. Make sure which model you are using.
Zmodo Wireless Frequency
Some models such as the Zmodo EZcam 720 HD wireless can only operate at the 2.4 Ghz and sometimes that's the reason it gets stuck when associating with the router that works with both frequencies.
If your router has both frequencies available and is using the same SSID (name of the signal your devices can associate with) the Zmodo camera can get confused.
How to solve the Zmodo Wifi connection problem
To solve the problem with the Wi-fi connection, just follow the steps:
 1. Access your wireless router settings;
 2. Look for the wireless settings menu;
 3. Find the wireless signal name (SSID);
 4. Rename the SSID for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (use different names);
 5. Open the security tab and make sure your router is using WPA or WPA2;
Let's say for example you have a Zmodo EZcam 720 HD that works only with the 2.4Ghz frequency but your router works with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.
Just rename the router SSID signal to MySignal-2.4 and MySignal-5 for example.
Now that you have the SSID with different names just go your Zmodo camera and start the connection process again and choose the correct Wi-fi SSID.
The Zmodo camera password limitation
When using the WPA or WPA2 for Wi-Fi security it's necessary to enter a password to connect to the router. That's something universal.
The issue with some Zmodo cameras is that they allow you to type a maximum of 13 characters for a password, so if your router uses a long password it won't work.
Unfortunately, the solution is to change the router password. I know you probably won't like the idea, but it is what it is. So, go ahead and just change it.

Cart Ruts Mystery Solved
From The Portsmouth News:
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth believe they have solved an ancient Mediterranean mystery.
The mystery of how 2ft deep tracks were cut into the rock of Malta has been a puzzle for years.
Now Professor Derek Mottershead, of the university's geography department, has followed generations of scholars to unravel the mysteries of the Maltese landscape.
The tracks, or ruts, were almost certainly caused by carts because the rock was not strong enough to support the wooden wheels of loaded carts.
They are up to 2ft deep and more than 30km of them run in pairs criss-crossing the island.
Professor Mottershead's team came up with a design of a cart to fit the field evidence, estimated its weight and calculated the stresses involved.
They discovered that in some places the rock was so soft that after heavy rain a single passage of a cart could cause the rock to fail.
Professor Mottershead said: 'The ruts have been studied and talked about for centuries and though it is obvious they are related to vehicles nobody understood how they were made or even when.
'The underlying rock in Malta is weak and when it's wet it loses about 80 per cent of its strength.
'What is unique to Malta is the sheer number of ruts. For years they have attracted the attention of archaeologists but until now we didn't have a convincing explanation of the mechanics of how they could have been formed.'
The team included Dr Alastair Pearson and Martin Schaefer, also of the University of Portsmouth. Their research was published in the journal Antiquity.

Maximum medical improvement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Maximum medical improvement (MMI) occurs when an injured employee reaches a state where his or her condition cannot be improved any further or when a treatment plateau in a person's healing process is reached. It can mean that the patient has fully recovered from the injury or that the patient's medical condition has stabilized to the point that no major medical or emotional change can be expected in the injured workers' condition. At that point, no further healing or improvement is deemed possible and this occurs despite continuing medical treatment or rehabilitative programs the injured worker partakes in. When a worker who is receiving Workers' Compensation benefits reaches maximum medical improvement, his or her condition is assessed and a degree of permanent or partial impairment is determined. This degree will impact the amount of benefits the worker is able to receive.
Maximum medical improvement means that treatment options have been exhausted. Temporary disability payments are terminated and a settlement is worked out regarding the condition of the worker at this point.
