Knowing the quality assurance (QA) benchmarks for Realtime (RT) data improves your experience with Google Transit. Meeting these benchmarks helps you serve high-quality transit information, which creates positive user experiences.
Essential quality metrics
To help maintain reliable Transit information for Google Transit users, there are 3 key quality metrics for RT data:
- Quality: What users need
- Stability: When users need it
- Coverage: Where users need it
We work hard to maintain strict adherence to the community-driven General Transit Format Specification (GTFS-RT) to optimize user experiences. If your information deviates from the GTFS-RT, the warning and blocking errors are listed in the validation report, which include:
- Inconsistencies with the underlying static feed
- Format and correctness of entities (syntax)
- Presence of required fields
- Time ranges matching expected values from the static feed
QA benchmark - Tolerances and expectations
- Tolerance for warnings and errors for percentage of affected entities is 2% and 0%, respectively. Additional details are available in the validation report.
- A regular, stable, and cyclical distribution for feed entities over time is expected, without spikes or drops in number of feed entities (e.g. number of vehicles).
- Service alerts require proper language, consistency, and cause and effect information.
Issues with tolerances and expectations can lead to incomplete or inaccurate data shown to users, which is often launch-blocking. Possible causes and fixes are mentioned in the report. For more details, review our support docs.
We require a consistent, weekly inflow of data feeds via data pushes and pulls to provide the best on-ground experience for users. Downtime is expected during setup and system improvements, but Realtime systems must remain stable and provide parsable data through the year (including weekends and public holidays).
QA benchmark - Server uptime errors
Google monitors incoming feeds for stability over 8-16 days. Errors in data formats and corrupt protobuffers are effectively failed pushes / pulls (e.g. no ASCII in production). From the daily validation report, we expect to see instances of 1% or below for the following types of server uptime errors:
- Protobuf errors (format and parsing)
- Fetcher errors
Several failed fetches in a row trigger bad user experiences and get flagged, block launches, and cause feed suspension.
QA benchmark - Feed age
Feed timestampsare used to compute Feed age, and are measured in seconds since epoch (UTC). A feed age shouldn't be older than 90 seconds when we receive it. Feed age for Service Alerts can be up to 10 minutes.
Note: Feed age is different from a trip update timestamp.
Transit provides users with complete, on-ground information for their trips. Specifically, Transit aims to provide:
- Complete data for areas near city centers and high-traffic areas
- Updates on most trips from the static feed, especially busy and central routes (full and partial coverage)
- Accurate and up-to-date data though service alerts and Vehicle Positions wherever possible, in addition to trip updates
Follow these guidelines to make sure you meet data quality benchmarks and create the best experience for Transit users.

The Argentine Breakfast
Generally, Argentine breakfasts are small meals of medialunas (croissants,) jam and coffee. A cortado is coffee with a little bit of milk; cafe con leche, as the name suggests, has more milk in it; and a cafe chico is usually a small cup of thick coffee.
The Argentine Lunch
Midday lunch is a considerably larger meal, often with pastas or meats as main courses. Just about every restaurant prepares fresh juices, licuados, blended with water or milk. Businesses in many cities across the country close for lunch, as people go home to eat a long meal with their families. Popular sandwiches include:
The Argentine Mid-Afternoon Snack (merienda)
In the late afternoon, Argentines have a snack or sandwich to keep their hunger at bay until dinner, which is typically not eaten before 9 or 10 p.m., especially during the hotter months. This tea time tradition, known as merienda, can be traced back to the 1800s, when British immigrants arrived in Argentina. Often merienda consists of the same medialunas that are eaten for breakfast, with either tea, matÃ©, or coffee.
Dinner takes place quite late, and many restaurants in Argentina stay open and are packed past midnight. Cuisine of Argentine stems from mainly Italian and German culinary traditions, so pastas or meat and potatoes are the most common Argentine food items. Argentines in general and PorteÃ±os in particular (residents of Buenos Aires) are night owls, and itâ€™s common to eat late and go out even later, only to wake up a couple of hours later for a small breakfast and a long day of work.
Here are some related tips to help plan your trip to Argentina: Bodega La Caroyense, Patagonian Food, Food in Buenos Aires, Tips For Taking Tea In Gaiman, Vegetarian Survival in Argentina, Argentina Food and Drink and An Argentine Meat Feast.

The World's Largest Earwig
The largest earwig species ever recorded was the Saint Helena earwig, which could grow up to 3.3 inches in length. The species had a long, dark brown-black colored body with reddish colored legs. It had six legs located on the front portion of its body and was characterized by a large, forked tail, often referred to as a pincher. The Saint Helena earwig, also known as the giant earwig or the Saint Helena striped earwig, could be found on the island of Saint Helena in certain forests, plains, and near seabird colonies on rocky outcroppings. Researchers identified three specific areas that this species inhabited: the Prosperous Bay plain, the Horse Point plain, and the dry areas of the eastern region of the island. Informally, the Saint Helena giant earwig is sometimes called as the "dodo of the dermapteran," a name that refers to the order of insects to which the species belonged.
Earwigs are an interesting insect species due to their social behavior. Unlike most insects, which are often solitary creatures that care for and provide for themselves, earwigs exhibits familial recognition. This behavior is most noteworthy in earwig mothers, who care for their young in a number of ways, including keeping and protecting the nest of eggs, cleaning the nest and eggs, assisting baby earwigs during the hatching process, feeding young earwigs, and sleeping with baby earwigs in a communal nest. Earwigs typically construct their shelters underground in long and deep tunnels. Researchers report that most earwig species only leave these underground shelters after long periods of rain, and can be spotted on the ground at night.
Discovery of the World's Largest Earwig
A Danish entomologist was the first scientist to ever collect this species in 1798 in the Saint Helena, a tropical island in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its record-breaking size, the Saint Helena earwig did not receive attention again until 1913, and then again in 1962, from two ornithologists. The Saint Helena earwig did not receive its scientific name, L. herculeana, until 1965, when it was discovered that the specimen had previously been confused with the L. loveridgei species. Some researchers speculate that this species was largely ignored due to a broad disinterest in earwig species, its confusion with another earwig species, and because it was an endemic species that could only be found on the island of Saint Helena.
An increasing interest in the areas of nature, biodiversity, zoology, and environmental conservation led to a slightly increased interest in this species. Beginning in the 1960's, more researchers began searching for the Saint Helena earwig, however these efforts were largely unsuccessful. The last sighting of the species was recorded in 1967. In an attempt to publicize its conservation status, the local government designed and released a collectible stamp with an image of the giant earwig in 1982. Just six years later, the London Zoo financed an exploration project in what was one of the final attempts at obtaining a live specimen. Subsequent searches were conducted in 1993 and 2003.
Factors Leading to Extinction of the World's Largest Earwig
In November of 2014, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorized the Saint Helena giant earwig on its Red List as officially extinct. While the organization acknowledges that the insect species may still exist in a very remote location on the island, it stated that all scientific evidence indicates that the insect is extinct. Experts in the field of entomology believe that two factors ultimately led to the extinction of the world's largest earwig: invasive species and habitat destruction.
An invasive species is somehow introduced to an ecosystem where it is not considered a native species. Many invasive species are introduced to ecosystems by humans, either intentionally or unintentionally, while others independently migrate to and colonize a new home.
Scientists believe that the Saint Helena giant earwig was forced to compete for survival against several invasive species, including spiders, centipedes, mice, and rats. It is believed that all of these species relied on the giant earwig as a dietary source. In particular, the Scolopendra morsitans centipede was likely the biggest challenge to the giant earwig, providing competition for food and habitat.
Another common factor in the endangerment and extinction of a vast number of animal species is habitat destruction. Habitat destruction occurs when external forces render an ecosystem unfit for the life it once sustained. This factor may be caused by natural occurrences, like flooding or storms, or by human activity, like deforestation and agriculture.
The Saint Helena giant earwig was threatened by two specific instances of habitat destruction, both caused by humans. The first was the deforestation of the gumwood forests, where it was known to inhabit. These forests were destroyed to make way for agricultural endeavors and to clear space for sprawling urbanization. Additionally, the construction industry harvested rocks from coastal areas of the island in order to keep up with increasing demands in development. These coastal rocks housed colonies of both the seabird and the Saint Helena giant earwig.
Lack of Attention Surrounding Its Extinction
Most people can cite at least a few animal species that are either endangered or already extinct, the vast majority of which will be charismatic species, meaning they are easily recognizable and often considered attractive to look at. Some examples of charismatic endangered species include pandas, tigers, and elephants. The general public is less likely to recognize insects or consider their potential extinction.
Given this lack of attention given to insect species, the extinction of the Saint Helena giant earwig was only published in a few media reports. This lack of coverage means that many individuals are still unaware of its conservation status. Critics claim that conservation groups also tend to ignore the plight of insects, focusing instead on bird and mammal species. In fact, the IUCN has identified and recorded the conservation statuses of approximately 100% of identified mammal and bird species in the world and less than 1% of global insect species. However, insects are important in maintaining the balance within ecosystems.

Audience segment composition
This feature might not be enabled in your DFP environment.
Each member of an audience segment represents an audience identifier associated with a user's device. As your audience segment collects members, you can see a breakdown of what audience identifiers compose the segment by clicking Inventory Audience segments in DFP.
In the table that lists all audience segments, the columns below display information about the audience segment member composition:
- Total size: The number of members currently in a segment.
- Mobile web size: The number of mobile web users that comprise a segment.
- AdID size: The number of Android app users (identified with an AdID) that comprise a segment.
- IDFA size: The number of iOS app users (identified with an IDFA) that comprise a segment.
- PPID size: The number of users, identified by a publisher provided identifier (PPID), that comprise a segment.
- These totals are updated periodically throughout each day.
- The Mobile web, AdID and IDFA size values are rounded to two significant digits (for example, "22,000" instead of "22,382") and if there are fewer than 50 members in any category, DFP displays 0.
- The total size of an audience segment, updated approximately every 30 minutes, must be at least 100 before it is eligible for ad serving. We use statistical modeling and sampling to estimate the segment total size, so the size shown might not exactly match a number of identifiers uploaded. Small audience segments are subject to a higher variance in model estimates, so using lists with at least 150 members is recommended.
- The sum of "Mobile web size", "IDFA size", and "AdID size" values may not equal the "Total size" value for a segment because of users on other targeted devices or environments.
- For third-party audience segments, the "Total size" value shows how many identifiers are provided in the segment, but doesn't necessarily reflect the total amount of unique impressions you'll get from the segment. This could be because some identifiers are stale or based in another country.

Fitzgerald Sailors Share Lessons with Guam Youth
By Shaina Marie Santos, Joint Region Edge Staff
DEDEDO, Guam - Sailors from USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) discussed the importance of school, careers and a drug-free attitude to students at Okkodo High School in Dededo Sept. 26.
The outreach to the school was one of two community service projects Fitzgerald Sailors supported during a port call on Guam.
"I think it's a great contact for [students] and to give them more information one-to-one and face-to-face, so they have more comfort level with approaching people in the military and getting to understand what the military is about, especially here on Guam," said Okkodo High School business education teacher Sharon Baxter.
During their visit, Sailors answered questions about life-enrichment, education and life as a Navy Sailor.
"It's always important to come out and talk to kids," said Operations Specialist 1st Class (SW) Justen Abernethy. "Especially because it's the time of period when they're starting to take everything in and they're learning and they're adapting to that adult life. So it'll help them along their path if they can hear it from the people who are out there, doing the job itself."
Abernethy added that discussing leadership and opportunities with students could make differences in their futures.
"The benefits for them is just that much more knowledge, that much more understanding and being able to say, 'Hey, this is why they do this and I can do this and I can be that much better in my life.'"
Seaman Recruit Mark Christian agreed with Abernethy and said that the Navy is a great career for students to look to help better themselves.
"I wish somebody did it to me, to be honest with you," he said. "I wish I had somebody to come there and answer questions. There's a lot of good things the Navy can offer."
Sailors also supported Special Olympics of Guam, coaching bowling athletes Sept. 29 at Century Lanes in Tamuning in preparation for an upcoming tournament


Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
This document lists known issues and limitations in MariaDB MaxScale and its plugins. Since limitations are related to specific plugins, this document is divided into several sections.
Configuration limitations
In versions 2.1.2 and earlier, the configuration files are limited to 1024 characters per line. This limitation was increased to 16384 characters in MaxScale 2.1.3. MaxScale 2.3.0 increased this limit to _PHONE_ characters.
In versions 2.2.12 and earlier, the section names in the configuration files were limited to 49 characters. This limitation was increased to 1023 characters in MaxScale 2.2.13.
Multiple MaxScales on same server
Starting with MaxScale 2.4.0, on systems with Linux kernels 3.9 or newer due to the addition of SO_REUSEPORT support, it is possible for multiple MaxScale instances to listen on the same network port if the directories used by both instances are completely separate and there are no conflicts which can cause unexpected splitting of connections. This will only happen if users explicitly tell MaxScale to ignore the default directories and will not happen in normal use.
Security limitiations
MariaDB 10.2
The parser of MaxScale correctly parses WITH statements, but fails to collect columns, functions and tables used in the SELECT defining the WITH clause.
Consequently, the database firewall will not block WITH statements where the SELECT of the WITH clause refers to forbidden columns.
Query Classification
Follow the MXS-1350 Jira issue to track the progress on this limitation.
XA transactions are not detected as transactions by MaxScale. This means that all XA commands will be treated as unknown commands and will be treated as operations that potentially modify the database (in the case of readwritesplit, the statements are routed to the master).
MaxScale will not track the XA transaction state which means that any SELECT queries done inside an XA transaction can be routed to servers that are not part of the XA transaction.
This limitation can be avoided on the client side by disabling autocommit before any XA transactions are done. The following example shows how a simple XA transaction is done via MaxScale by disabling autocommit for the duration of the XA transaction.
SET autocommit=0;
SET autocommit=1;
Prepared Statements
For its proper functioning, MaxScale needs in general to be aware of the transaction state and autocommit mode. In order to be that, MaxScale parses statements going through it.
However, if a transaction is commited or rolled back, or the autocommit mode is changed using a prepared statement, MaxScale will miss that and its internal state will be incorrect, until the transaction state or autocommit mode is changed using an explicit statement.
For instance, after the following sequence of commands, MaxScale will still think autocommit is on:
set autocommit=1
PREPARE hide_autocommit FROM "set autocommit=0"
EXECUTE hide_autocommit
To ensure that MaxScale functions properly, do not commit or rollback a transaction or change the autocommit mode using a prepared statement.
Protocol limitations
Limitations with MySQL/MariaDB Protocol support (MariaDBClient)
 - Compression is not included in the server handshake.
 - MariaDB MaxScale does not support KILL QUERY ID type statements. If a query by a query ID is to be killed, it needs to be done directly on the backend databases.
 - The KILL commands are executed asynchronously and the results are ignored. Due to this, they will always appear to succeed even if the user is lacking the permissions.
Authenticator limitations
Limitations in the GSSAPI authenticator
Currently, MariaDB MaxScale only supports GSSAPI authentication when the backend connections use GSSAPI authentication. Client side GSSAPI authentication with a different backend authentication module is not supported.
Limitations in the MySQL authenticator (MySQLAuth)
 - MySQL old style passwords are not supported. MySQL versions 4.1 and newer use a new authentication protocol which does not support pre-4.1 style passwords.
 - When users have different passwords based on the host from which they connect MariaDB MaxScale is unable to determine which password it should use to connect to the backend database. This results in failed connections and unusable usernames in MariaDB MaxScale.
 - Only a subset of netmasks are supported for the Host-column in the mysql.user-table (and related tables). Specifically, if the Host is of the form base_ip/netmask, then the netmask must only contain the numbers 0 or 255. For example, a netmask of is fine while is not.
Filter limitations
Database Firewall limitations (dbfwfilter)
The Database Firewall filter does not support multi-statements. Using them will result in an error being sent to the client.
Tee filter limitations (tee)
The Tee filter does not support binary protocol prepared statements. The execution of a prepared statements through a service that uses the tee filter is not guaranteed to succeed on the service where the filter branches to as it does on the original service.
This possibility exists due to the fact that the binary protocol prepared statements are identified by a server-generated ID. The ID sent to the client from the main service is not guaranteed to be the same that is sent by the branch service.
Monitor limitations
A server can only be monitored by one monitor. Two or more monitors monitoring the same server is considered an error.
Limitations with Galera Cluster Monitoring (galeramon)
The default master selection is based only on MIN(wsrep_local_index). This can be influenced with the server priority mechanic described in the Galera Monitor manual.
Router limitations
Refer to individual router documentation for a list of their limitations.

I wanted to create a Part 2 to the PowerPoint Sketched Outline tool and share a more advanced shape consideration with using the Sketched outline styling. In this case, what happens when you use the Merge Shapes tools to create a new shape – and those shapes already have the Sketched outline styling applied?
1. For this demo, I am inserting two 2 PowerPoint shapes
2. Apply a Sketch Styling to both shapes
3. Then combine them by using the PowerPoint MERGE SHAEPES "Union"
4. The new shape, which looks great, does have the Sketched outline permanently applied. Selecting the straight line optioncannot be selected to revert it back to smooth/straight lines.
5. The way to avoid this permanent styling is to pre-plan. Before merging the two shapes together change the outline to the smooth/straight outline. Then re-apply the sketched outline styling to the new (merged) shape.

A critical path traversing a logical pin mapped to a slow physical pin such as A1 or A2 is reassigned to a faster physical pin such as A6 or A5 if it improves timing. A cell with a LOCK_PINS property is skipped, and the cell retains the mapping specified by LOCK_PINS. Logical-to-physical pin mapping is given by the command get_site_pins.


Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide To Set a Grace Period
The grace period specifies how long the mailbox can be over the quota (disk space or number of messages) before messages are bounced back to sender. The grace period is not how long the message is held in the message queue, it's how long the mailbox is over quota before all incoming messages, including those in the message queue, are bounced. (see 20.1 Overview for more details.) The grace period starts when the user has reached the quota threshold and been warned. See To Setup Quota Notification.
To specify a quota grace period at the command line:
configutil -o store.quotagraceperiod -v number
where number indicates number of hours.

text: The deployment of a client–server-based distributed intelligent system involves application development in both the network domain and the device domain. In the network domain, an application server (typically in the cloud) is deployed to execute the network applications. In the device domain, several Internet of Things (IoT) devices may be configured as, for example, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and interact with each other through the application server. Developing the network and the device applications are tedious tasks that are the major costs for building a distributed intelligent system. To resolve this issue, a low-code or no-code (LCNC) approach has been purposed to automate code generation. As traditional LCNC solutions are highly generic, they tend to generate excess code and instructions, which will lack efficiency in terms of storage and processing. Fortunately, optimization of automated code generation can be achieved for IoT by taking advantage of the IoT characteristics. An IoT-based distributed intelligent system consists of the device domain (IoT devices) and the network domain (IoT server). The software of an IoT device in the device domain consists of the Device Application (DA) and the Sensor Application (SA). Most IoT LCNC approaches provide code generation in the network domain. Very few approaches automatically generate the DA code. To our knowledge, no approach supports the SA code generation. In this paper, we propose DeviceTalk, an LCNC environment for the DA and the SA code development. DeviceTalk automatically generates the code for IoT devices to speed up the software development in the device domain for a distributed intelligent system. We propose the DeviceTalk architecture, design and implementation of the code generation mechanism for the IoT devices. Then, we show how a developer can use the DeviceTalk Graphical User Interface (GUI) to exercise LCNC development of the device software.

The redesign of the entrance door of a Sabreliner corporate jet to improve access to the aircraft cabin is described. The current aircraft design uses a door that opens into the cabin space allowing the top of the door to swing through the opening. The door rotates into its final position where it becomes the entrance steps to the aircraft cabin. In the present configuration, the open door is inclined 60-with the top step situated 14 inches above the cabin floor. This paper presents two new designs for the cabin door where the top step is reduced to the same height as the cabin floor. In addition, the incline of the steps has been reduced from 60?to about 45?improving access to the cabin. The final designs, developed using LINCAGES 4 and LINCAGES 6 computer software, are 6-bar mechanisms-one using pin joints and the other using a rotating slider link. In both cases, the floating coupler (the door) is driven by hand.

Arkell Spring Grounds Monitoring Program
The City of Guelph obtains a portion of its municipal water supply from the Arkell Spring Grounds located in the northeast corner of the Township of Puslinch.
Over the last several years, as part of conditions for a Class Environmental Assessment, the City has been conducting extensive investigations and monitoring programs to increase its water taking from two new bedrock wells and three existing bedrock wells in the Arkell Spring Grounds.
The City has constructed new pumphouses and related infrastructure to support the additional water taking and increased pumping began in July 2011. To monitor the effects of the increased water taking, the City implemented a comprehensive groundwater and surface water monitoring program in the area of the Arkell Spring Grounds and Blue Springs Creek. The monitoring program began in January 2011 and will continue for a period of three and a half years.

Understanding the costs associated with motor vehicle incidents (MVIs or crashes) is an essential part of a business case that motivates management to pay attention to road safety and allocate resources to prevent work-related crashes. The MVI Cost Calculator helps build that business case.
It's an easy and efficient tool to:
- Estimate costs of potential MVIs, and understand the financial advantages of preventing them
- Identify and summarize the real costs of crashes experienced in your workplace
- Track information that facilitates evaluating the effectiveness of a road safety program that prevents crashes and avoids associated costs
Gather the Information You Need Before You Start
In the steps that follow, you will be asked to enter a few types of information. In preparation, you may want to talk to other managers or people in your payroll or human resources departments to get a range of representative values. Call service providers (e.g. towing company, body repair shop) to get estimates of those costs. If you are tracking a real incident, speak with the people who handled the invoices. Ask about:
- Salaries and hourly rates for employees or other people who may be involved
- Costs estimates for significant cost components – emergency response, first aid, vehicle recovery, site clean-up and remediation, repairing or replacing damaged vehicles and company or third-party property, etc.
- Cost estimates for less tangible losses - downtime, lost productivity, loss of reputation, and lost sales or contracts opportunities
- The organizations' current WorkSafeBC Base Rate and Experience Rating
- Premiums and deductible amounts for vehicle, cargo, health care and other insurances that will be affected by a crash-associated claim
Using the MVI Cost Calculator
- On page one, enter information to describe the incident. Make sure that information you plan to track and/or compare with other incidents is on the Incident Overview page.
- Complete fields using actual values or reasonable estimates for crashes that are common in your industry or that may occur in the driving circumstances and conditions your employees encounter.
- For some items there are two entry fields - one is the hourly wage or salary of the person who will do that work, the other is the actual or estimated hours necessary to do that work. The form automatically calculates the product and enters it in the "Costs" column.
- For other items you will see an entry field in the "Costs" column only. Enter actual or estimated values in each of these cells.
- Not all line items will apply to every MVI. When that's the case, leave the data entry field blank.
- Periodically save your work.

text: In this work, 10 processing type Hungarian tomato gene bank accessions were investigated in a 3-year open-field experiment together with three commercial varieties for quantifying the genotype × environment interaction for their total soluble solids, total acid, dry matter, lycopene, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Results showed remarkable differences of accessions in phytonutrient content over the 3 years (environments). Genotype main effect plus genotype × environment interaction biplots were created for the visualization of the best performing samples and of their relation to a theoretical best variety. Obovate fruit-shaped accessions (especially RCAT031257 and RCAT060349) reached outstanding nutritional results in every environment. According to extremities in weather conditions, two landraces (RCAT060348 and RCAT060349) with higher drought tolerance, and two (RCAT031257 and RCAT029837) less prone to excessive rainfalls were identified. The results can contribute to the enrichment of tomato nutritional phenotypic data banks, facilitating the utilization of gene bank accessions in genomic studies.

Israel's housing market is the second most expensive in the world, according to a new study.
The study, which was conducted by Australia's CompareTheMarket, found that in comparison to average disposable household income, South Korea has the most expensive housing market of the 39 countries assessed in the study, with each square meter (10.8 square feet) of housing space costing the equivalent of 39.6% of a single year's-worth of the disposable income of the average South Korean household.
Israel was rated as the second least affordable country for housing, with each square meter (10.8 square feet) of housing space costing the equivalent of 26.6% of the average Israeli household's annual disposable income.
Switzerland came in a close third, with each square meter of housing consuming 26.5% of the average household's annual disposable income.
Luxembourg and Japan rounded out the top five, followed by France, New Zealand, the UK, the Czech Republic, and Sweden.
Turkey had the most affordable housing market, with each square meter of housing costing just 4.2% of the average household's annual disposable income.
The US had the second most affordable housing market, with each square meter of housing costing 5.5% of the average household's annual disposable income.
Russia came in third on the affordability scale, followed by Mexico and South Africa.
The ratings do not reflect the absolute prices of housing, but instead highlight the cost of housing adjusted for income and the cost of living.
Without taking the level of disposable income into account, Israel is still one of the costliest countries to purchase a home, coming in at number five, behind Switzerland, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Japan.
The average price per square meter of housing in Israel is $6,650, or $618 per square foot.
The US, by comparison, ranked as the 15th most inexpensive place to purchase a home – when disposable income levels were not taken into account – with the average cost of housing coming in at $2,504 per square meter, or $233 per square foot.
The UK ranked as the 13th least affordable country, with an average housing price of $4,691 per square meter, or $436 per square foot.

IF ALIENS LANDED THEY WOULD BE THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE!
According to the National Heritage Resources Act, all meteorites are considered protected property of the nation and there are rules regarding what can be done with them
Interestingly, because a meteorite is defined as "any naturally-occurring object of extraterrestrial origin",
this means that if an alien landed in SA he/she/it would become the property of the State.
Should an alien arrive and find that SA did not suit its disposition,
it would not need a passport to leave
but it would have to acquire an export permit from the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA).


creates a submodule of the current module. If there's no _M in the current environment then P inherits _G and M inherits nothing.
Specifying a name for the module either returns package.loaded[name] if it is set or creates a module, sets package.loaded[name] to it and returns that. This is useful for creating and referencing shared namespaces without having to make a Lua file and require that.
Naming the module also sets P[name] = M so that public symbols can be declared in foo.bar style instead of _M.bar.
Setting foo.module = glue.module makes module foo directly extensible by calling foo:module'bar' or require'foo':module'bar'.
This function is 27 LOC.
glue.autoload(t, submodules) -> t
glue.autoload(t, key, module|loader) -> t
Assign a metatable to t (or override an existing metatable's __index) such that when a missing key is accessed, the module said to contain that key is require'd automatically.
The submodules argument is table of form {key = module_name | load_function} specifying the corresponding Lua module (or load function) that make each key available to t. The alternative syntax allows specifying the key - submodule associations one by one.
Motivation
Module autoloading allows splitting the implementation of a module in many submodules containing optional, self-contained functionality, without having to make this visible in the user API. This effectively disconnects how an API is modularized from how its implementation is modularized, allowing the implementation to be refactored at a later time without changing the API.
Example
main module (foo.lua):
local function bar() --function implemented in the main module
 ...
end
--create and return the module table
return glue.autoload({
 ...
 bar = bar,
}, {
 baz = 'foo_extra', --autoloaded function, implemented in module foo_extra
})
submodule (foo_extra.lua):
local foo = require'foo'
function foo.baz(...)
 ...
end
in usage:
local foo = require'foo'
foo.baz(...) -- foo_extra was now loaded automatically
glue.bin
Get the script's directory. This allows finding files in the script's directory regardless of the directory that Lua is started in.
For executables created with bundle, this is the executable's directory.
Example
local foobar = glue.readfile(glue.bin .. '/' .. file_near_this_script)
Caveats
This only works if glue itself can already be found and required (chicken/egg problem). Also, the path is relative to the current directory, so this stops working as soon as the current directory is changed. Also, depending on how the process was started, this information might be missing or wrong since it's set by the parent process. Better use fs.exedir which has none of these problems.
glue.luapath(path[,index[,ext]])
Insert a Lua search pattern in package.path such that require will be able to load Lua modules from that path. The optional index arg specifies the insert position (default is 1, that is, before all existing paths; can be negative, to start counting from the end; can be the string 'after', which is the same as 0). The optional ext arg specifies the file extension to use (default is "lua").
glue.cpath(path[,index])
Insert a Lua search pattern in package.cpath such that require will be able to load Lua/C modules from that path. The index arg has the same meaning as with glue.luapath.
Example
glue.luapath(glue.bin)
glue.cpath(glue.bin)
require'foo' --looking for 'foo' in the same directory as the running script first
Allocation
glue.freelist([create], [destroy]) -> alloc, free
Returns alloc() -> e and free(e) functions to allocate and deallocate Lua objects. The allocator returns the last freed object or calls create() to create a new one if the freelist is empty. create defaults to function() return {} end; destroy defaults to glue.noop.
glue.buffer(ctype) -> alloc(minlen|false) -> buf, capacity
(LuaJIT only) Return an allocation function that reuses or reallocates an internal buffer based on the len argument.
 - ctype must be a VLA: the returned buffer will have that type. this makes glue.buffer(ctype) compatible with ffi.typeof(ctype).
 - the buffer only grows, it never shrinks and it only grows in powers of two steps.
 - the allocation function returns the buffer's current capacity which can be equal or greater than the requested length.
 - the returned buffer is anchored by the allocation function. calling alloc(false) unanchores the buffer.
 - the contents of the buffer are not preserved between allocations but you are allowed to access both buffers between two consecutive allocations in order to do that yourself.
glue.dynarray(ctype) -> alloc(minlen|false) -> buf, minlen
Like glue.buffer() but preserves data between reallocations, and always returns minlen instead of capacity.
FFI
glue.addr(ptr) -> number | string
Convert the address of a pointer into a Lua number (or possibly string on 64bit platforms). This is useful for:
 - hashing on pointer values (i.e. using pointers as table keys)
 - moving pointers in and out of Lua states when using luastate
glue.ptr([ctype,]number|string) -> ptr
Convert an address value stored as a Lua number or string to a cdata pointer, optionally specifying a ctype for the pointer (defaults to void*).
glue.getbit(val, mask) -> true|false
Get the value of a single bit from an integer.
glue.setbit(val, mask, bitval) -> val
Set the value of a single bit from an integer.
glue.bor(flags, bits, [strict]) -> mask
bit.bor() that takes its arguments as a string of form 'opt1 opt2 ...', a list of form {'opt1', 'opt2', ...} or a map of form {opt->true} and performs bit.bor() on the numeric values of those arguments where the numeric values are given as the bits table of form {opt->bitvalue}.
Useful for Luaizing C functions that take bitmask flags.
Example: glue.bor('a c', {a=1, b=2, c=4}) -> 5.
Tips
String functions are also in the glue.string table. You can extend the Lua string namespace:
'glue.update(string, glue.string)'
so you can use them as string methods:
's:trim()'

Small Static Caravan Sites | North-Wales | North Wales Caravans
Small static caravan sites in North Wales are often located in areas of outstanding natural beauty within a short distance of the coast. The Countryside Code benefits everyone using the countryside in the UK and North Wales, to enable you to get the most out of your visit. It is in place to give you helpful advice when planning your outing, to keep yourself and others safe and to ensure that the countryside remains a fabulous environment that everyone can enjoy. For example, many holiday makers who visit Sirior Bach Caravan Park near Abergele, make frequent visits out into the beautiful Welsh countryside and there are rules for ramblers, cyclists and dog walkers to follow.
Always consider other people and the local community
 - When out driving in the countryside, consider visitors and local people; don't block driveways and gateways, or pathways with your vehicle.
 - When driving a vehicle or riding a bike, slow down or stop for farm animals, walkers and horses and always ensure you give them room when passing.
 - If a farmer is moving his animals cooperate by keeping out of the way, follow any directions that the farmer gives you.
 - Busy traffic can be a hindrance on country roads to visitors, local people and wildlife so drive slowly and, if at all possible, leave your car at home; maybe cycle or take public transport.
Leave property and gates as you find them
 - If a farmer has left gates open so that his animals can reach food and water, ensure that you leave gates as you find them or look for information on any signs.
 - Always follow pathways unless there is a wider access such as on common ground. Never climb over fences, hedges and walls potentially causing damage; use gaps in boundaries, stiles or gates for access.
 - Never interfere with animals or machinery.
 Protect the natural environment around you
 - Take special care not to remove, destroy or damage any natural features such as trees, plants or rocks, which may be habitat for wildlife.
 - Left-over food and litter can be detrimental and dangerous to wildlife, so ensure that you always take your litter home with you to dispose of. Fires can be dangerous to habitats, wildlife and other people so take care when smoking outdoors and if using naked flames.
Always ensure that you keep your dogs under control at all times. If possible, keep on a lead or in your sight and make sure they don't stray off into an area where you have no right of access. There are certain rules that apply to dogs near to farm animals and, if near the coast, you may need to keep them on a lead so as not to disturb breeding birds. Pick up your dog's mess and dispose of it in a safe manner – in bins provided or take it home with you to dispose of correctly.
You are responsible for your own safety and of those in your care, especially children, so be prepared for any hazards – a sudden change in the weather or an unpredictable horse or farm animal.
The countryside is appealing around small static caravan sites in North Wales; wonderful places where you can get away from it all. So to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable, safe visit make sure you stick to the rules of the countryside code.
If you need any further information about staying safe during your time at such holiday parks as Whitehouse Leisure Park, Sirior Bach Caravan Park, Golden Gate Holiday Centre or any of the small caravan sites in North Wales, please feel free to contact us at North Wales Caravans.

Animations I: Preset and custom animation
List of effects for a bulleted list, shown collapsed and then expanded in the task pane
Fig. 1 A collapsed list of effects.
Callout 1 In the task pane, the effect for a bulleted list shows with the list collapsed. Changes apply to the entire collapsed list.
Callout 2 Expand arrows: Click them to expand the list.
Fig. 2 An expanded list of effects.
Callout 1 The four effects in an expanded list. Click a specific effect to make changes only to it.
Callout 2 Collapse arrows: Click them to collapse the list.
The quickest way to animate a bulleted or numbered list is to click the list on the slide, and then add an effect from the Custom Animation task pane. The result is that the entire list gets the effect, and the bulleted items animate one by one (technically, paragraph by paragraph, since each bulleted item is a new paragraph).
The effect you've applied to the bulleted list shows up in the task pane effects list as a collapsed list (Figure 1). The list contains the same effect applied to each bulleted item. Work with these collapsed effects in a couple of ways:
 - Keep the list collapsed to make changes or apply options to all the effects at once.
 - Use the expand arrows to display all the effects and select individual effects to modify them.
Figure 2 shows the collapsed list expanded, and you see each effect.
Other ways to animate lists
 - Apply effects to the list one bulleted item (paragraph) at a time. This could make sense if you wanted a different effect for each bulleted item. To select a bulleted item, select any letter or word in that paragraph. When you apply the effect, it will apply to the whole paragraph. Do this for every bulleted item. The items animate in sequence.
 - Animate the bulleted items all at once. If you select all the text in the bulleted list and apply the effect, the whole list animates at once.
Note The behavior described applies to lists within default placeholders (the hatchmarked boxes for text that appear in the slide layout). But if you create a list in a shape you've applied, such as a text box, the results vary. For instance, if you just click the list in a text box and apply an effect, the whole list animates at once instead of line by line. To get items to animate in sequence, you have to select each one and apply an effect.

 Energy balance
 for systems with chemical reaction
- So far we have considered the change of enthalpy only with
 temperature and phase (solid, liguid, vapour)
- Thus, in choosing a DATUM we have only specified a
 temperature and a state, e.g. H2O (liquid) at 0 C, BDA at 0 C
 etc.
- What about the following system?
 1 mol CH4 1 mol CO2
 2 mol O2 2 mol H2O
 At 25 C, 1 atm At 25 C, 1 atm
 CH 4  2O2  CO2  2 H 2O
 1 mol CH4 1 mol CO2
 2 mol O2 2 mol H2O (g)
 Q
 At 25 C, 1 atm At 25 C, 1 atm
- If we set DATUM: 25 C for all gases
 Then, Hin = Hout = 0, and Q = Hout – Hin = 0
- However, when we carry out this process, we observe that
 Q = - 802.32 kJ, i.e. the system gives off energy to the
 surroundings
- It looks like there is "generation" of energy in the system.
 So we revise our energy balance to read:
 Hin + Q + heat generated = Hout
- We know that energy is neither created nor destroyed but can
 change from one form to another
- So what we are observing in a chemical reaction is the
 transformation of energy from one form to another
- We are transforming the bond energies in the molecules to
 thermal energy
- We cannot measure bond energies by measuring the
 temperature or phase of a substance, so it appears as if energy
 is being "created"
- Other reactions may appear to "consume" energy.
 CH 4  2O2  CO2  2 H 2O H rxn  802 .32 kJ
 0
 - The negative sign indicates an exothermic reaction,
 i.e. the reaction creates energy
 - The opposite is an endothermic reaction, consuming energy
 - We calculate H0rxn by:
 H = ( mi  h )products - ( mi  h )reactants
 0
 rxn
 0
 fi
 0
 fi
 - Where the h0f are the standard heats of formation for each
 compound, tabulated in chemistry texts.
 - The superscript 0 refers to the standard state (25 C, 1 atm)
 - The bar over the H indicates that the value has been calculated
 for the indicated quantity of reactans/products, i.e. 1 mol of
 methane
 Energy balance with chemical reaction –
 "The Heat of reaction" approach
We revise the energy balance to include a term to account for the heat
 effects of chemical reactions:
 Hin + Q + heat generated = Hout
Using the convention for exothermic and endothermic reactions, we we
 can write this as:
 H IN  Q  H rxn  H OUT
When Hrxn is negative we end up with a positive value for "heat
 generated", and vice versa
The Hrxn term must account for the actual amount of reaction that took
 place.
It must account for reactants going to products at the specified DATUM
The DATUM does not have to be at 25 C but it is almost always more
 convenient to choose a DATUM of 25 C
- The standard heats of formation are themselves the heats of
 reactions that form the compounds from the constituent
 elements in their stable forms at 25 C and 1 atm.
- e.g.
 C  O2  CO2 h  393.51 kJ
 0
 f

 H 2  O2  H 2O ( g ) h 0  241.83 kJ

 H 2  O2  H 2O (l ) h f  285.84 kJ
 0
 2
 C  2 H 2  CH 4 h 0  74.84 kJ
 f
- The heat of formation of elemental species are 0! (by definition)
 Energy balance with chemical reaction –
 "The heat of formation" approach
We retain the energy balance developed for non-reacting systems:
 Hin + Q = Hout
However, we recognize that the enthalpy of any material entering
 or leaving the system must account for differences in enthalpy
 due to the chemical bond structure of the material. We therefore
 add a term to the specific enthalpy of substances:
  energy due to 
  energy in   
  chemical bonds    temperature or phase, 

I need to write SQL that keeps only the minimum 5 records per each identifiable record in a table. For this, I use
partition by and delete all records where the value returned is greater than 5. When I attempt to use the WHERE clause in the same query as the
partition by statement, I get the error "Ordered Analytical Functions not allowed in WHERE Clause". So, in order to get it to work, I have to use three subqueries. My SQL looks ilke this:
delete mydb.mytable where (field1,field2) in ( select field1,field2 from ( select field1,field2, Rank() over ( partition BY field1 order by field1,field2 ) n from mydb.mytable ) x where n > 5 )
The innermost subquery just returns the raw data. Since I can't use WHERE there, I wrapped it with a subquery, the purpose of which is to 1) use WHERE to get records greater than 5 in rank and 2) select only field1 and field2. The reason why I select only those two fields is so that I can use the IN statement for deleting those records in the outermost query.
It works, but it appears a bit cumbersome. I'd like to consolidate the inner two subqueries into a single subquery. Is this possible?

Coefficient-modulated first-order allpass filter as distortion effect
A novel approach to implement the distortion effect is introduced. The proposed approach is based on time-varying phase distortion of the input signal, and it is implemented using a coefficient modulated first-order allpass filter. This new technique provides control over the distorted band with a proper choice of the modulating signal. By choosing a modulating signal that applies the phase distortion only for low frequencies, the aliasing often generated by conventional distortion effects, which modify the signal amplitude, can be greatly reduced. Modulation signals that produce distortion effects applicable for electric guitar playing are also discussed. Sound examples on the use of the filter can be found at _URL_ Papers/dafx08/.


s needed.
 - In order to make R.hom(S) work with Sage's default infrastructure, it is needed to implement a method natural_map() for the homset R.Hom(S). And this homset should be returned by a method R._Hom_(S). Caching is actually not needed, because this is done in sage.categories.homset.Hom. Hence, TODO: Remove the UniqueFactory!!
 - There is a default sage.structure.parent.Parent.hom, and there is no need to overload it. In particular, the hom() method provided by the old patch expected its arguments in the wrong order. The default is: First the data defining the morphism, second the codomain.
 - an_element() should be implemented by providing _an_element_().
 - There is a default __contains__ method for parents, and there is usually no need to overload it (instead, one should implement coercions). Hence, I removed some of them. There is still __contains__ for FreeSmallCategory, because it needs to extend what DiGraph.__contains__ is doing. TODO: Check whether homspaces could do without the custom __contains__!
 - Speaking of default infrastructure: Elements should be created by either doing arithmetic on the generators of a parent, or by calling the parent with appropriate data, but not by passing these data to the underlying class of the elements (which does not coincide with the element class in many cases). TODO: Try to make TestSuite() work.
 - Speedup: I have already mentioned above that list(self._vector[startdim:startdim + rows*cols]) is a lot slower than self._vector.list()[startdim:startdim + rows*cols].
 - There is a default zero method, that caches the zero of a parent. So, there should be no need to overload it. However, some methods start with self.zero() and then change it in-place. That's of course not allowed with a cached element, and hence I had to replace self.zero() with a non-cached self().
I think, in spite of the above TODOs, I put it as "needs review" for now, and wait for your comments. For the record, I give positive review to those parts of the code that I did not change (hence, to most of the code inside of methods, as I was mainly changing the structure of the code base and the semantics of few methods that are important for Sage's infrastructure).

What is sage.quivers.sage??? It is not possible to import sage from sage.quivers. So, I guess this is a problem of the plugin. The other import should be fine. Note that no other modules from sage.quivers are imported during start-up, which is one of the aims of my last patch.

There is now a different error reported by the patchbot (with identical patches), but both errors seem totally unrelated.
However, there is a more serious problem: There are cases when a morphism is not calling sage.categories.morphism.Morphism.__init__. And part of the problem: QuiverHomspace does not inherit from Homset!!
comment:101 in reply to: ↑ 100 Changed 5 years ago by SimonKing
Replying to SimonKing:
And part of the problem: QuiverHomspace does not inherit from Homset!!
But making it inherit means that one needs to overload __call__. Alas.
comment:102 follow-up: Changed 5 years ago by SimonKing
It might be reasonable for now to overload __call__, by first trying what is now done in the _element_constructor_, but using an element_class. And only if this fails, Homset.__call__ should be called.
On the long run, I believe Homset.__call__ should instead obey the rules of Parent.__call__. Hence, it should be possible to implement creation of morphisms simply by providing an attribute Element to the homset. But this would be for a different ticket.

The update of the third patch implements this short term solution.
Still TODO:
 - I found that still some tests start with importing Quiver. This is not needed. Quiver, in contrast to everything else of the new stuff, is in the global namespace.
 - Get rid of the unique factory
 - Now, as element_class is available for the Homspaces, use it! Hence, do not create QuiverRepHom, but always create homomorphisms by means of the element_class.

What's the difference between long and short grain rice? And what is medium rice?
Can you use the different types interchangeably? Does size even matter?
Rice can be confusing. Not only are there grain sizes to contend with, but there are colors, varieties, and types to sort through. According to the USA Rice Federation, there are more than 120,000 varieties of rice worldwide!
Here's a basic rice primer, so you can learn when to use a long grain, or when to stick to short.
Long grain rice tends to separate when cooked. That means your rice will fall apart, rather than stick together. Use long grain rice when you are making dishes that call for separate, loose grains, such as pilafs. It also has a firmer, dryer texture and feel in the mouth.
Chinese restaurants usually serve a side order of long grain rice with the food. So if you hate trying to pick up those grains individually with chopsticks, you might decide to use a shorter, stickier rice instead, to serve with your stir fry.
Medium grain rice is more likely to stick together. The grains are softer and moister than long grain rice when cooked. This type of rice is the preferred type in Hawaii, where the mix of cultures enjoys rice with every meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
Yes, we really do eat rice for snacks. One of the most popular local foods is musubi, a ball of cooked rice, wrapped in nori, or seaweed "paper." Often these will have a slice of fried Spam luncheon meat on top.
Calrose rice, a variety grown in California, is a medium grain rice. This is the type to get if you want a bland, clean taste.
Short grain rice is the most sticky and soft. The grains have a bit of chewiness to them. The extra starch in them gives them these properties.
Specialty rice types
One famous type of medium grain rice is Arborio, used to make Italian risotto. The starch thickens the liquid as it cooks, creating a creamy texture that gives the dish its signature style. You can substitute other short or medium grain rice, but never long grain rice, and get a similar finished product.
Sushi is made with short or medium grain rice. This is another of the exceptions to the substitution rule. You cannot substitute long grain rice when making sushi, or everything will just fall apart and not feel right in the mouth.
For the most part, if you are just making a pot of rice, or you run out of one kind of rice or another, you can relax. The different types can be substituted equally in most dishes, without ruining them. There are a few exceptions to the rule, however.
Use a short or medium grain for sushi, risotto, rice pudding, and molded rice dishes. Use medium grain for paella. Use long grain for pilafs.
Use glutinous or sticky rice to make rice cakes, or mochi. Use black glutinous rice to make Malaysian sticky black rice pudding. Use Thai sticky rice for sticky rice with coconut milk and mango, or to eat with Thai food, like those in the northern parts of Thailand, and Laos, do.
What rice to use for fried rice?
Any type can be used, but most commonly, white rice is used. It is usually kept in the refrigerator, or left out for a day, which dries the rice a bit. Otherwise, if you use fresh rice, you get a steamy, soggy mess.

The way the streets and avenues are organized in a city may have a huge impact on the traffic flow. This paper presents a methodology to analyze topological characteristics of road networks. The study was performed by using two groups of neighborhoods divided according to the historical traffic problems. These areas were represented using graphs, thus making possible the application of some network metrics. The main goal of this process is to identify patterns associated with each one of these groups. It was observed that some parameters such as entropy, centrality and input and output node degree distribution can provide the indication of features that are directly related to the criticality of the traffic jam in the road structures.

Palantir: Running Large Drupal 8 CSV Migrations in Batches
Migrating birds against a striped background
A versatile solution for importing large CSV files into Drupal.
In this post we will cover…
 - Point one
 - Point two
 - Point three
Migrating content from an existing site or an external data source can help reduce the effort required by content editors to get a new site ready for launch. As a result, constructing and executing content migrations is a common task we undertake as part of the site build process. While these migrations can vary in type, typically spreadsheets are exported in a comma separated value (CSV) format due to their simplicity.
While Drupal has robust support for migrating in from a CSV file, the current structure can struggle when presented with large CSV files. In particular, the migration import process can run out of memory part way through the migration process. We encountered this problem while migrating tens of thousands of locations for a client. Increasing the PHP memory limit for the migration was an initial step, but proved not to be enough:
Memory usage is 1.21 GB (80% of limit 1.51 GB), reclaiming memory.
[warning]
Memory usage is now 1.21 GB (80% of limit 1.51 GB), not enough reclaimed, starting new batch
[warning]
Even though the migration module attempts to reclaim memory and start a new batch, the process does not always complete.
Some approaches to get around this issue include scripting your migration and utilizing the limit option when running a migration. However, we wanted a solution that could be more versatile and wouldn't require custom scripting for each new migration we would write.
As a result, we wrote a custom Drush command that acts as a wrapper around the default Migrate import command. Our custom command splits a large CSV file into smaller files that can be imported in batches.
As an example, the following command may be run:
drush migrate:import:batch sample_migration --batch-size=100
When the migration is run, the CSV source file for the sample_migration is split into smaller CSV files with 100 lines each. The migration runs for each of these files. These files are temporarily stored in the private files directory and are cleaned up after the migration is finished.
Other migration operations run like normal and all of the default options may be passed in. Migration mapping hashes are maintained, so the migration may be rolled back like normal, too.
The module's code currently exists in a Github repository which also contains more information on the module's usage, but we plan on releasing it as a contributed module on Drupal.org in the future. Feel free to give it a try on your project and let us know how it works for you!

Idaho's WWAMI is a partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Since 1972, the University of Idaho has partnered with the UW School of Medicine to help educate Idaho's future physicians.
Each year, a cohort of 40 medical students that are residents of the Gem State complete their first and second year of medical training at U of I. Students are dual-enrolled at the University of Idaho and the UW School of Medicine while completing their Foundations Phase (18 months). The Clinical Phase can be completed in Idaho, Seattle or across the five-state WWAMI region.
The curriculum taught at each WWAMI site, including the Seattle site, is a joint product of the UW School of Medicine. While each site has its own unique instructors and may have specific offerings, such as the wilderness medicine elective offered to Idaho and Seattle students, all WWAMI students learn the same core curriculum at the same time.
Idaho WWAMI has five primary goals for the State of Idaho:
- Provide publicly supported medical education
- Increase the number of primary care physicians
- Provide community-based medical education
- Expand graduate medical education (residency training) and continuing medical education
- Provide all of this in a cost-effective manner
Idaho WWAMI has an excellent rate of return: 51% of our graduates choose to practice in Idaho — well above the national average of 39%.

After learning that women still have few opportunities to learn about their heritage in art and what is required to be a professional artist, Judy Chicago decided to offer the opportunity to learn about her work and the work of other women through a hands-on program that involves learning professional skills while being exposed to the environment of a professional woman artist. By working with and caring for the enormous body of artwork and its documentation, interns begin to understand the requirements of a professional career in art, while they benefit from exposure to Judy Chicago, her colleagues, and the Through the Flower staff.
Participation in the daily activities of Through the Flower allows interns to understand what it means to bring one's art into the world. Interns have access to photographic materials, videos, books, and other resource materials from Through the Flower's library which are often difficult to obtain.
The internship program is intended to provide support and empowerment for women and men as they struggle to articulate their own goals and clarify their intentions in relation to art. Internships provide a basis for growth based upon the feminist principles embodied in Judy Chicago's art, writings, and teachings. Interns are asked to complete the required reading as a supplement to the other educational aspects of the program while they complete their internship.
Interested applicants should send the following materials to: _EMAIL_
The letter of interest should include a brief biography, a description of any particular skills or interests of the applicant, and an explanation of why the applicant would like to be an intern with Through the Flower.

I am trying to write a conditional batch insert based on Java Parameters, for example
List params = new ArrayList();
params.add(new Object[]{1, 2, 3});
"INSERT INTO SomeTable( colA, colB, colC)" +
 " VALUES(?,?,?)" +
 " WHERE EXISTS ( // some condition )", params);
This obviously does not work, and the closest example I have found involves selecting the INSERT values from tables, instead of the List arguments, which is what I need. How can I reference the Object[] parameters as part of the INSERT values?
Thank you.

I'd say that you should move this condition in a separate SELECT.
share|improve this answer
Can you provide an example? The problem with SELECT, is that I believe I have to be referencing table values, whereas I just want to reference the parameter java variables. – meiguoren Nov 9 '10 at 4:05
As your example, you should try following syntax and the SimpleJdbcOperations.update method:
 " SELECT srcA, srcB, srcC" +
 " FROM src_table" +
 " WHERE EXISTS ( // some condition )",
Additionally, I've been using StringTemplate for generation of dynamic SQL. It's the best language I ever use.
for Example(As StringTemplate Syntax):
StringTemplate tmpl = new StringTemplate(
 " SELECT *" +
 " FROM some_table" +
 " WHERE 1 = 1" +
 "$search_age:{ AND age =?}$" +
 "$search_name:{ AND name =?}$"
 * if param_age is not null, "AND age =?" would be included in argumented sql,
 * same as param_name
tmpl.setAttribute("age", param_age);
tmpl.setAttribute("name", param_name);
// :~)
String sqlTmpl = tmpl.toString(); // final SQL generated

We need your help now to make a difference to a child's education.
The British Science Association is a charity that is committed to inspiring the UK's future scientists and engineers. One of the ways we do this is through our CREST Star Investigators scheme.
CREST Star Investigators is a UK wide awards scheme designed to enable children aged five to eleven to solve science, technology, engineering and maths problems through practical investigation. We currently reach 10% of UK primary schools, and an estimated 60,000 young people complete a CREST Star award every year. An external evaluation demonstrated that CREST Star not only increased enthusiasm for science among children, but also improved thinking, talking and listening skills.
We are launching a major redevelopment of CREST Star Investigators to expand the reach and accessibility of the scheme and ensure its future, however we still have a £26,000 shortfall. Your contribution will help us achieve our aim to reach 500 new primary schools a year and to ensure that ALL primary school children have access to the scheme whatever their background and wherever in the UK they are.
The primary school years are crucial in developing a pupil's long-term interest in science. It is during the primary years that children's attitudes to science are nurtured, and later carried over into secondary school and adulthood. With your support the CREST Star Investigators scheme will reach thousands more children.
