Split a polygon
To split two polygons, follow these steps:
Step 1. Select a polygon on the mapview by clicking on the polygon. To open the Split Polygon window, select from the icon in toolbar on the mapview.
Step 2. The polygon Name and Target layer will be displayed in the Split Polygon window. Choose a target layer where the split two layers will be saved later.
Step 3. To draw a line across the selected polygon for splitting, click the Create Line button. Hold down the [Shift] key while moving the cursor, click on the map to mark the start point and double-click to mark the end point, forming a line.
To reset the Split Polygon window and select another polygon, click the Select Another Polygon button.
Step 4. To save the splitting operation, click the button to proceed.
Step 5. Set the Name and Description of the two new split polygons. Also set the field values if needed (see the screenshot below). vMAP offers two approaches to set the field values:
Approach 1: Set the field value by batch processing.
Approach 2: Set the field value one by one manually.
Approach 1: Set the field values by batch processing
Follow these steps to batch process values of split polygons:
Step 1. To copy the value of each field from the original polygon to the corresponding values of the two split polygons, click the Copy button.
Step 2. To split the value of each field from the original polygon to the two split polygons evenly, click the Average button.
Step 3. To reset the value of each field of the two split polygons, click the Clearbutton.
Step 4. To save the split polygons, click the button. Then you can locate these two split polygons on the target layers.
Approach 2 :Set the field values one by one manually
Approach 2 is different from Approach 1 in that you can set the field values one by onem and they will not be affected by the original polygon's values. The icons have the same functionalities as Approach 1.
When getting back to vMAP center map panel and selecting the polygon, you will find it will be three polygons now: the original polygon, two split polygons in target layer.


CS Car Speed Profi
The Car Speed Profi introduced in 1981 was the second ESC from CS Electronic but comparing with the older Car Speed Super this one was designed as real race ESC and a 2nd generation design. This means not one but three large powertransistors were used for motordrive and one additional powertransistor for dynamic brake. A relay activated at endpoint of braketravel provided a fixed speed reversefunction. A BEC unit was used as well for powering receiver and steeringservo. For lowering the weight of this ESC CS went with an aluminium plate as heatsink for the powertransistors and a heatshrink instead of a heavy case. This also is the route most European ESC manufacturers were going for lower weight that time.
The second generation of ESC tried to overcome the handicap of their predecessors. Comparing with mechanical speedcontrols early ESC had a much faster response time but also had very large voltagedrop what means the motor had less revs and power at full throttle. To overcome this situation there were two solutions.
The first one as used by British and Japanese ESC mostly was using an additional speedrelay for bypassing the voltagedrop of about 0.7-1V of the powertransistor. Demon Products from Great Britain was one of the first manufacturers using such speedrelay at their Demon 2D ESC.
The second solution was using not one but multiple number of powertransistors in parallel. This meant less burden for each transistor and a lower voltagedrop overall. This is the design as used by this CS ESC. More informations to find at our coming Special on "Vintage" ESC.

Rain Garden Cost Share
The purpose of the City of Owatonna Rain Garden Cost Share Program (RGCS) is to promote, facilitate, and increase the number of residential rain gardens in Owatonna by awarding cost share grants for a limited number of residential rain gardens. These rain gardens will be used as educational resources to further promote ways to improve water quality and reduce the risk of localized flooding. Modeled after cost share programs in Rochester and Dakota County, the RGCS program will provide cost share grants of 50% up to $500 to residents who meet eligibility requirements.
View more Rain Garden Design Information.
Homeowners will request a site visit from the Water Quality Specialist.
If all standards are met, homeowner will submit a rain garden budget and design for review.
Application will be reviewed and graded on the criteria included in the documents.
- Application Form (PDF)
- Rain Garden Cost Share Brochure (PDF)

Properly designed, constructed, and maintained rain gardens have many benefits. They capture rainwater runoff from lawns, roofs, and driveways. Keeping rainwater close to where it falls helps improve and protect the quality of lakes, rivers, and groundwater and reduces the load on the storm sewer system. Rain gardens provide many additional benefits such as adding beauty and value to each home and providing wildlife habitat to attract beneficial birds, butterflies, and dragonflies.
The City of Owatonna will:
- Assist in project guidance of rain garden installation
- Conduct a preliminary site visit to evaluate the feasibility of a rain garden
- Provide cost share reimbursement of 50% up to $500 for approved projects
- Provide landscape design and technical assistance throughout the process
Cost Recipients Agreement
Cost share recipients agree to:
- Allow City staff to take photos and information gained from project for future public education opportunities
- Authorize access by City staff to inspect the project, construction activities, and post-construction conditions
- Maintain the rain garden, ensuring it is functioning as designed
Eligibility & Criteria
The following criteria are minimum eligibility standards and must be met for the applicant to be considered:
- The budget and rain garden plan are reasonable and the rain garden will be installed the growing season immediately following the award notice
- The homeowner enters into an Agreement with the City to maintain the project, ensuring it is functioning as designed
- The rain garden is not required as a condition of development or to satisfy other regulatory requirements;
- The rain garden is proposed on a residential parcel owned by an Owatonna citizen and located within Owatonna City Limits
- The rain garden will be used as a demonstration and education site and will be easily accessible for viewing by the public
- The rain garden will quantifiably reduce storm water runoff, thereby improving water quality
After all program requirements have been met and approved, including a site visit to verify project completion and success, a request for reimbursement may be made. The reimbursement request must include receipts for materials and services purchased. All reimbursement requests for projects completed within a fiscal year must be submitted by December 31st of that year.
The RGCS will increase awareness of stormwater issues and solutions in Owatonna while also providing quantifiable stormwater pollution reductions that Owatonna can use towards future TMDL restrictions. This program will help satisfy Owatonna's MS4 Minimum Control Measures:
- Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Participation and Involvement

Sustainable & Ethical Fashion
What is Ethical and Sustainable Jewelry
Ethical and sustainable jewelry essentially means responsible and transparent sourcing methods and the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials to make jewelry. It delivers very minimal impact to the environment and it is not involved with any issue or conflict.
This industry is also known for giving back to employees by giving them a safe working environment and fair wages. When looking for ethical and sustainable jewelry, here are a few points you need to consider.
1. Quality before Quantity
If you are living a zero-waste lifestyle, then shopping for jewelry probably only comes to your mind a few times. While you're at it, opting for ethical and sustainable jewelry will do the environment and your bank a huge favor.
2. Opt for the Best Possible Sustainable Materials
As much as possible, only choose to purchase jewelry pieces that are crafted from recycled or ethically-sourced materials that are sustainable and not detrimental to the environment.
3. Evaluate the Brand's Transparency
When choosing a jewelry brand that is ethical and sustainable, make sure to look into their supply chain and evaluate their transparency about it.
4. Check the Company's Certifications
To prove that a jewelry company is truly worth investing in for people who are on a sustainable journey, look for certifications and recognitions that acknowledge the brand for being ethical and sustainable.

When you attempt to sort issues by Rank using the Issue Navigator, the issues do not appear to be sorted numerically. Users sometimes expect that issues will appear ordered by the Rank field, in consecutive order from 1 to the number of ranked issues.
In JIRA Agile 5.8 and later, ranking is based on a custom field called 'Rank' (of type Global Rank). Note that you can have multiple fields of type Global Rank, if you wish. Each Global Rank field is a linked list that contains every issue in JIRA in order (from highest rank to lowest rank).
The 'value' of a Global Rank field for an issue is not meaningful, though by co-incidence it contains the absolute index inside the linked list of issues in the system. The user is not meant to view this field (it is not shown on the View Issue screen or the Issue Navigator by default) because the absolute number does not mean anything except when compared to other issues in the search results. For example, the ranks in a system might look like the following:
If the user searched inside project PRO and ordered by the rank field they would get the correct order of issues (PRO-1, PRO-2, PRO-8, PRO-13) but would be confused by the numbers (2, 4, 6, 7). The fact that there are gaps is irrelevant because they probably do not care about TST at all. The end summary:
 - If you query issues with "order by rank asc" you will get the correct order of issues by rank.
 - The numbers shown (ie. the value of the Rank field) will often not be sequential, but their order is correct.
 - The exception to the above is that sub-tasks are ranked independently.
 - If you queried every issue in the system and ordered by Rank, then the rank field would begin at 1 and increase consecutively except for subtasks.
Special Note About Sub-Tasks
While sub-tasks are included in the global rank linked list, they are ranked first by their parent then by their own rank. Thus the logic for comparing two issues during a "sort by rank" is:
 1. If issue is a parent issue, compare index.
 2. If issue is a subtask,
 1. First compare parent index, return higher (if not subtasks of the same parent).
 2. Then compare subtask index (if the other issue is also a subtask of the same issue).
This means that subtasks are always ranked immediately next to their parent regardless of the absolute ranking index value. As a result, a search of all issues in a system with something like "order by rank asc" would correctly return the ordered list of issues but the rank value would only be consecutive for non sub-tasks (except for gaps where the sub-tasks consume index values). Here's an example:
4PRO-8 / PRO-16
6PRO-8 / PRO-19
9PRO-1 / PRO-4
If you searched only for project PRO with "order by rank asc" you would get PRO-8, PRO-16, PRO-19, PRO-4, PRO-1, PRO-4. The 'rank' values would be 1, 4, 6, 3, 7, 9.

Python Question
Streaming two line graphs using bokeh
I would like to create a visualization where there are two line graphs which are updated with one new point per line graph per second.
The result will be something like this.
I have recently read about bokeh and found out that it can be used in visualizing streams of data in real time. However don't know how to code in it yet.
I would appreciate it if someone can show me how this task can be done using bokeh. thanks!
Answer Source
For bokeh-0.11.1:
Basically, you need to run you python app in the bokeh server. Then anyone can connect to the server and view the graph in realtime.
First, write your program. Use this code for example:
# myplot.py
from bokeh.plotting import figure, curdoc
from bokeh.driving import linear
import random
p = figure(plot_width=400, plot_height=400)
r1 = p.line([], [], color="firebrick", line_width=2)
r2 = p.line([], [], color="navy", line_width=2)
ds1 = r1.data_source
ds2 = r2.data_source
@linear()
def update(step):
 ds1.data['x'].append(step)
 ds1.data['y'].append(random.randint(0,100))
 ds2.data['x'].append(step)
 ds2.data['y'].append(random.randint(0,100))
 ds1.trigger('data', ds1.data, ds1.data)
 ds2.trigger('data', ds2.data, ds2.data)
curdoc().add_root(p)
# Add a periodic callback to be run every 500 milliseconds
curdoc().add_periodic_callback(update, 500)
Then run the server from the command line, with your program:
C:\>bokeh serve --show myplot.py
This will open the browser with your realtime graph.
For all the details see the bokeh server documentation.

Question by NaiveAngelAz (15)
Are moth balls harmful to cats?
Answer by BrendaG (6111)
Mothballs are toxic and can cause health problems, but they work in keeping cats from using gardens and plants for litter boxes. Tea leaves sprinkled around gardens and plants is a safe alternative. Cats do not like lavender(nor do deer) or geraniums and keeping those plants would be beneficial. Rue and pennyroyal are two other plants they abhore.
Answer by SandyG (807)
Absolutely. Package has warnings. If you need to use them, place them inside two layers of socks and secure inside clostet so the cat cannot walk off with the sock.
Answer by PMD (41)
Moth balls are very harmful to cats as they contain an offending chemical called naphthalene which is toxic to them.
Answer by Taylor (863)
If your cat ate 1 or 2 he/she should be fine however, if you cat ate a bunch of them you should take him/her to the vet right away. Moth Bolls do contain harmful chemicals but they usually only have a few MG of the active ingredient so it would take a few to cause harm.
Answer by Anonymous
Cats don't eat anything that is not appealing to them. Very unlike dogs, that will eat anything. With their keen sense of smell, a cat would back away from moth balls.

Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, Vol.29, No.8, 971-977, 1999
Nonisothermal electrochemical cell for monitoring hydrogen or oxygen in high temperature water
A nonisothermal, solid state electrochemical sensor for monitoring hydrogen or oxygen dissolved in high temperature (to about 500 K) water is described. Nafion(R) in the form of tube was used as the electrolyte. The reference electrode at ambient temperature and pressure was a saturated aqueous solution of Fe2+ and Fe3+ sulphates. Sensor voltage measurements with dissolved hydrogen showed good reproducibility and long term stability. A regression equation for the hydrogen concentration related to cell voltage and water temperature was derived. Sensor voltage measurements with dissolved oxygen showed relatively poor reproducibility and long term stability. This is attributed to the greater complexity of electrode reactions involving oxygen and water.


bubbling phase" mean.
Ember registers listeners for these events similarly to how we might do it ourselves with jQuery i.e.
 - Ember attaches all its listeneners to a single element in the DOM.
 - This element is usually <body>. If you specify a rootElement then that will be used instead.
 - Ember attaches its listeners to the "bubbling" phase.
Example: A simplistic approach
The pattern of how Javascript (Ember) works is periods of intense activity in response to some event followed by idleness until the next event happens. Lets dig a little deeper into these periods of intense activity.
We already know that the first code to get run in reponse to an event is the listener function that Ember registered with the browser. What happens after that?
Lets consider some code from an imaginary simple Javascript app:
_URL_
This code manages the "Mark all completed" button in the UI.
Click the button a few times and notice the console output. Notice that there are some patterns to the tasks performed:
 1. Updating the model
 2. Updating the DOM (rendering)
and that the do work as you find it approach that this app takes causes these different types of work to be interleaved.
The code in this app is obviously very incomplete and I'm sure you can see many ways it could be improved. However there are some problems that might not be obvious at first, problems that you will only start to notice when the app grows in complexity. To understand these lets look at what it is not doing:
 1. It is not coordinating its access of the DOM. Every time the app updates the DOM the browser does a layout and paint. These are very expensive operations especially on mobile devices.
 2. It has no way of telling us when DOM updating is finished. We can certainly hook into the click handler for the "Mark all completed" button but what if had started some asynchronous work like updating the server? If this app was more realistic it would be very difficult to know where we should add code that would be run when all DOM updates had finished.
 3. It is not controlling when objects get deleted. Currently our app is so trivial that this is not a problem but imagine if we had hundreds of todo items and complex processing of each one i.e. processing each todo item created a lot of temporary objects in memory. After a while the browser will decide that enough is enough and that it needs to "clean up" these objects and make their memory available again i.e. it will run garbage collection. Since our app cannot run while GC is happening the user may notice a pause.
Together these problems mean our simplistic Todo app will have serious scaling problems.
Enter the runloop
We have identified some problems caused by an uncoordinated approach to doing work. How does Ember solve them?
Instead of doing work as it finds it, Ember schedules the work on an internal set of queues. By default Ember has six queues:
console.log(Ember.run.queues);
// ["sync", "actions", "routerTransitions", "render", "afterRender", "destroy"]
Each queue corresponds to a "phase of work" identified by the Ember core team. This set of queues and the code that manages them is the Ember runloop.
You can see a summary of the purpose of each queue in the runloop Guide but here we are going to focus on the queues themselves.
How it works
First lets get some terminology sorted:
 - A job on a queue is just a plain ol' Javascript callback function.
 - Running a job is simply executing that function.
How Ember handles events:
 1. A browser event happens and Ember's registered listener for that event is triggered.
 2. Early on in its response to the event, Ember opens a set of queues and starts accepting jobs.
 3. As Ember works its way through your application code, it continues to schedule jobs on the queues.
 4. Near the end of its response to the event Ember closes the queue-set and starts running jobs on the queues. Scheduled jobs can themselves still add jobs to the queues even though we have closed them to other code.
 5. The runloop Guide has an excellent visualisation of how jobs are run but in brief:
 1. Scan the queues array, starting at the first until you find a job. Finish if all queues are empty.
 2. Run the job (aka execute the callback function)
 3. Go to step 1
Lets consider some subtle consequences of this simple algorithm:
 - Ember does a full queue scan after each job - it does not attempt to finish a full queue before checking for earlier work.
 - Ember will only get to jobs on a queue if all the previous queues are empty.
 - Ember cannot guarantee that, for example, all sync queue tasks will be complete before any actions tasks are attempted because jobs on any queue after sync might add jobs to the sync queue. Ember will however do its best to do work in the desired order. It is not practical for your app to schedule all work before any is performed so this flexibility is necessary.
 - At first glance it may seem that the runloop has two distinct phases
 1. Schedule work
 2. Perform the work but this is subtly incorrect. Functions that have been scheduled on a runloop queue can themselves schedule functions on any queue in the same runloop. It is true that once the runloop starts executing the queues that code outside the queues cannot schedule new jobs. In a sense the initial set of jobs that are scheduled are a "starter set" of work and Ember commits to doing it and also doing any jobs that result from those jobs - Ember is a pretty great employee to have working for you!
Something that is not obvious from that description is that there is no "singleton" runloop. This is confusing because documentation (including this guide) uses the phrase "the runloop" to refer to the whole system but it is important to note that there is not a single instance of the runloop in memory (unlike the Ember container which is a singleton). There is no "the" runloop, instead there can be multiple instances of "a" runloop. It is true that Ember will usually only create one runloop per DOM event but this is not always the case. For example:
 - When you use Ember.run (see below) you will be creating your own runloop that may go through its full lifecycle while the runloop that Ember uses is still accepting jobs.
 - Usually an Ember application will boot within a single runloop but if you enable the Ember Inspector then many more runloops happen at boot time.
Another consequence of the runloop not being a singleton it that it does not function as a "global gateway" to DOM access for the Ember app. It is not correct to say that the runloop is the "gatekeeper" to all DOM access in Ember, rather that "coordinated DOM access" is a pleasant (and deliberate!) side-effect of organising all the work done in response to an event.. As mentioned above, multiple runloops can exist simultaneously so there is no guarantee that all DOM access will happen at one time.
How often do runloops happen?
From what I have observed, Ember typically runs one runloop in response to each DOM event that it handles.
Visualising the runloop for yourself
This repo also contains the noisy runloop kit which is trivial demo app and a copy of Ember that I have patched to be very noisy about what its runloop does. You can add features to the demo app and see how the actions the runloop takes in response in the console. You can also use the included version of Ember in your own project to visualise what is happening there. Obviously you should only include this in development because it will slow the runloop down a lot.
Enough with the mousemove already!
When you start getting the runloop to log its work you will quickly get overwhelmed by its running in response to mouse events that happen very frequently on desktop browsers e.g. mousemove. Below is an initializer for Ember that will stop it listening to certain events. You probably want to add this to whatever Ember app you are trying to visualise the runloop for unless you are actually using mousemove, mouseenter, mouseleave in your app.
/**
 * Tell Ember to stop listening for certain events. These events are very
 * frequent so they make it harder to visualise what the runloop is doing. Feel
 * free to adjust this list by adding/removing events. The full list of events
 * that Ember listens for by default is at
 * _URL_
 *
 */
Ember.Application.initializer({
 name: 'Stop listening for overly noisy mouse events',
 initialize: function(container, application) {
 var events = container.lookup('event_dispatcher:main').events;
 delete events.mousemove;
 delete events.mouseenter;
 delete events.mouseleave;
 }
});
What are autoruns?
Calls to any of
 - run.schedule
 - run.scheduleOnce
 - run.once
have the property that they will approximate a runloop for you if one does not already exist. These automatically (implicitly

Because students are naturally inclined to read and write about topics that concern themselves and their experiences in the world, autobiography is an appealing genre to students. In reading autobiographical novels and essays, students can find realistic role models. In writing autobiographical essays, students can find a rhetorical method for self-reflection. In this sense, a unit on autobiography can prove to be a valuable teaching tool for students of all ages and ability levels. Esmeralda Santiago's novel When I Was Puerto Rican is an autobiography that traces Santiago's memoirs through her childhood in Puerto Rico and her transition from Puerto Rico to New York City. Her second memoir, Almost a Woman continues the spirited documentation of her adjustments and experiences as she grows up in New York City and attends the High School for Performing Arts. Santiago presents her work as an exploration of her search for identity and as a model for young people in their own search.
This curriculum unit is designed for an Advanced Placement (AP) English course for high school juniors, however it is easily adaptable to other secondary levels. The AP course is structured as an analysis of writing and rhetoric with an intense focus on preparation for the national Advanced Placement exam in language and composition, which students take in May. The main objectives of the unit are as follows. (1) Students will be able to identify and analyze and author's use of point of view. (2) Students will be able to identify and analyze the author's use of literary devices. (3) Students will be able to respond to the novel in terms of narrative style and technique as well as in relation to the novel's plot and themes.
(Recommended for English and AP English, grades 9-12.)

There are records in the Nuremberg city annals of Friedrich Staedtler's activities as a pencil-making craftsman as far back as 1662. Generations later, his descendant would create one of today's most useful artist's tools.
J.S. Staedtler invented the first colored pencil in 1834. It was a colored oil pastel pencil which could be "sharpened to a point just like a pencil". In 1835, the city council granted him a manufacturing license, with permission to produce black lead, red chalk, and pastel pencils.
Staedtler had gained expertise from working with his father, Paulus Staedtler, at his workshop. He transferred this expertise to his industrial efforts. By the year 1840, his company was already making 63 different types of pencils.
Staedtler is now Europe's largest manufacturer of black lead and colored pencils, but its original headquarters have always remained in Nuremberg, Germany. More than two thirds of all the writing instruments Staedtler produces are made there. The quality seal of "Made in Germany" has become an integral part of the Staedtler Company.

Community Assessments (Rates)
MWRA is a "wholesaler" to its member communities.
MWRA's charges ("community assessments ") typically represent about 45% of the amount that communities bill their customers. The proportion varies considerably among communities.
MWRA WATER AND SEWER RATE METHODOLOGY
How MWRA sets water and sewer assessments to for communities:
In setting water rates, MWRA first identifies through its budgeting process the total amount of revenue that must be raised to run the water system. Charges are calculated using a flat rate per million gallons – $3,032.39 for FY2013 – times the metered water use by a community in the last full calendar year.
Sewer charges are computed on a proportional allocation basis utilizing total flow, contributing population and census population for each community. The total amount of required revenue for the sewer system is allocated either to operating costs or capital costs. Operating costs are allocated to each community based on the average of the prior three calendar years' total flow, with adjustments for strength of flow.
Capital costs, including debt service, are allocated to each community based on a combination of (1) average of the prior three years' peak month wastewater flow and average concentrations of total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand; (2) the proportion of the population of the community that is served by the local sewer system; and (3) the proportion of the community's U.S. census population to the total census population in the sewer system.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BILL
If you live in an MWRA community, your water and sewer bills come from from your local water and/or sewer department. If you have questions or concerns about your water/sewer bill, you should contact your local water/sewer department. Click here for links to local departments.

- Please call or text the charity Missing People on 116 000 (it's free, 24 hour and confidential) or the police force dealing with the case giving details of the area in which you saw the child and details of the time, date and place you see the child. Note descriptions of any other person (adult or child) that is with the child.
- DO NOT approach the child or attempt to'rescue' the child. Leave that to the police. If ANYTHING about the situation causes you concern that the child is in immediate danger, dial 999 and report the matter to the police.
- Please remember, the child could have been safely recovered since you saw the child on the site. Even if still missing, recovering a child needs professional expertise and is a job for the police.
- Tell the police that you recognise the child from the missingkids web site. This will help their investigation.
- You may be asked to provide evidence for the police and/or the courts. You are a witness to a possible crime.
The above advice applies to any situation in which you think a child is being abducted against their will.

Jumping into a better life: the profitable world of grasshopper rearing
A Surin couple are augmenting their teaching salaries by raising Patanga grasshoppers, also known as Bombay locusts, to sell their eggs and meat.
A kilogram of the grasshoppers goes for 450 baht, while the eggs can be sold for up to 10,000 baht per kg to other grasshopper farmers, said Somphong Cheuthong, 53, a teacher in Surin's Sang Kha district.
Grasshoppers are a Thai delicacy, often eaten fried and sprinkled with soy sauce as a snack. They are considered a future food due to their high protein and low fat, and can be farmed using agricultural remnants such as coconut coir and banana leaves, he said.
Somphong said he and his wife, Maneewan, 51, who is also a teacher, have long been trying to find second jobs to generate the income they need to cover the expenses of raising two young daughters. They have tried several career options in their free time including opening a coffee shop, raising cows, and growing grapes.
"None of these can compete with grasshoppers in terms of extra income," said Somphong, adding that he had started by researching on social media how to raise grasshoppers in his free time.
He bought 100 grams of grasshopper eggs for 1,000 baht, which can produce around 500 grasshoppers, and raised them in a homemade shed fashioned from mosquito netting measuring 3x4 metres and two metres in height. The ground must be covered with sand mixed with wet coconut coir, banana leaves or cut grass.
After spreading the eggs on the ground, all the farmer has to do is water them every morning and evening. The eggs will hatch and become adult grasshoppers, after which they will mate with each other and produce more eggs, which can be harvested every 2-3 days.
After 45 days, they will stop laying eggs. The farmer will then sell them for meat and start a new batch of eggs.
Maneewan said since they started a few months ago, the orders for grasshopper eggs and meat have been pouring in non-stop from local merchants and online customers, prompting her to build two more sheds to meet the demand.
She said most of her customers are fellow grasshopper farmers who need new batches of eggs for their cycle.
"Raising grasshoppers is a great part-time career with good income due to the high demand. Getting started is also easy and requires only a small investment," Somphong said. "Plus, the more people raise them, the more we can sell eggs, making it a sustainable business with a constant supply of customers."


Hrithik Roshan to share his fight against stuttering
314 0
While he recently voiced his support towards Deepika Padukone who courageously came out in the open to discuss about depression, Hrithik Roshan continues to spread awareness and talk about his fights and struggles to inspire his other fans. It is a renowned fact that Hrithik Roshan as a child faced several issues due to his stuttering. However, instead of bowing down to the constant stigma, he decided to fight.
In a recent interview, the actor expressed his concern to several people who continue to face social stigma when it comes to speech-related impediments and mentioned that he is contemplating with the idea of writing a book. His intention is to inspire people and boost them with self-confidence with his story that revolves around his way of overcoming struggles and stigmas.
Reminiscing about his battle with stammering, Hrithik described it as lonely and also revealed about how kids often were mean to him due to his stuttering. He further also stated that children often don't have as much information or knowledge to understand these kind of issues. Yet at the same time, he looks back at these incidents as something that gave him immense strength and belief in him.
Hrithik Roshan also went out to spread this message to his fans wherein he requested them to accept their shortcomings and use them as a stepping stone to grow.

Why is my HōlHōm screen blank?
If the screen is blank and there are no lights on, then it is likely there is no power to the thermostat.
- Check the breaker for your HVAC equipment to make sure it is on.
- Some homes have a disconnect switch for the HVAC equipment, check to make sure it is on.
- Remove HōlHōm from the mounting bracket and make sure the "R" and "C" wires are securely connected to the thermostat.
- Check to make sure the "R" and "C" wires are securely connected to the HVAC equipment and the "C" wire is actually connected to common.
- If you are using EZWire, make sure all the EZWire connections are secure.
If this does not resolve the issue, then report the problem to support.

Search API Connector Documentation
Import Coinbase Data to Google Sheets
In this guide, we'll walk through how to pull cryptocurrency market data from the Coinbase Digital Currency API directly into Google Sheets, using the API Connector add-on for Sheets.
Coinbase doesn't provide that much data via these endpoints (other crypto APIs are generally better in that respect), but it is easy to use and useful for getting a comprehensive list of exchange rates in one go.
This article also includes a template to access private account data.
- Before You Begin
- Part 1: Create your API Request URL
- Part 2: Pull Coinbase API Data into Sheets
- Part 3: More Example Coinbase API URLs
- Part 4: Get Private Coinbase Account Data
- Part 5: API Documentation
Before You Begin
Click here to install the API Connector add-on from the Google Marketplace.
Part 1: Create Your Coinbase API Request URL
We'll first access the latest exchange rate data for Bitcoin.
- API root: _URL_
- Endpoint: /v2/exchange-rates
- Query String:?symbol=BTC
Putting it together, we get the full API Request URL:
Part 2: Pull Coinbase API Data into Sheets
Now let's get that data into Sheets.
- Open up Google Sheets and click Extensions > API Connector > Open.
- In the Create tab, enter the API URL we just created.
- Leave the OAuth and Headers sections empty. The market data part of the Coinbase API is public, so we don't need any headers or other authentication.
- Create a new tab, and click Set current to use that tab as your data destination.
- Name your request, and click Run. A moment later you'll see the latest exchange rate data for Bitcoin appear in your Google Sheet:
- If you'd like to see the data in columns instead of rows, create a second sheet and include the Sheets function
- If you only need some of those exchange rates, hit Edit Fields before running your request, and select just the fields you want to see in your sheet.
Part 3: More Example API URLs
Experiment with endpoints and query strings as described in the documentation to see other types of currency and crypto data from the API. For example, you can try the following URLs, one at a time (substitute in other currency symbols or dates, if you like).
- list of all currencies and corresponding symbols
- current spot price of any currency pair (the spot price is usually between the buy and sell price)
- historical price snapshot of currency pair at a specified date
Part 4: Get Private Coinbase Account Data
The above endpoints deal with public market data from the Coinbase API.
If you are instead a Coinbase customer looking to get API data from your own account, they require a more complex authentication process that includes generating a "signature".
To access your private account data, please copy this sheet and follow the instructions within.

 1. For a mapping between two Euclidean spaces, is it a linear conformal mapping if and only if it is a similarity transformation?
 My answer is yes, because the Jacobian matrix of a conformal transformation is everywhere a scalar times a rotation matrix.
 Note that both allow reflection, i.e. change of orientation.
 2. Is it correct that a conformal mapping may not be an affine nor projective transformation, because it may not be linear?
Thanks and regards!
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
 1. Yes, for elementary reasons. Let $f$ be a linear conformal map and apply this to any triangle $ABC$. Then $f(AB),f(BC),f(CA)$ will be lines by linearity, and by conformality $f(ABC)$ will have the angles of $ABC$ so they will be similar therefore $f$ is a similarity mapping.
 2. Yes, consider inversion with respect to a fixed circle.

Migrating from SpamAssassin to Rspamd
This guide provides information for those who wants to migrate an existing system from SpamAssassin to Rspamd. You will find information about major differences between the spam filtering engines and how to deal with the transition process.
Why migrate to Rspamd
Rspamd runs significantly faster than SpamAssassin while providing approximately the same quality of filtering. However, if you don't care about the performance and resource consumption of your spam filtering engine you might still find Rspamd useful because it has a simple but powerful web management system (WebUI).
On the other hand, if you have a lot of custom rules, or you use Pyzor/Razor/DCC, or you have some commercial 3rd party products that depend on SpamAssassin then you may not want to migrate.
In short: Rspamd is for speed!
What about DSPAM/SpamOracle…?
You could also move from these projects to Rspamd. You should bear in mind, however, that Rspamd and SA are multi-factor spam filtering systems that use three main approaches to filter messages:
 - Content filtering - static rules that are designed to find known bad patterns in messages (usually regexp or other custom rules)
 - Dynamic lists - DNS or reputation lists that are used to filter known bad content, such as abused IP addresses or URL domains
 - Statistical filters - which learn to distinguish spam and ham messages
DSPAM, SpamOracle and others usually implement the third approach, only providing statistical filtering. This method is quite powerful but it can cause false-positives and is not very suitable for multi-user environments. Rspamd and SA, in contrast, are designed for systems with many users. Rspamd, in particular, was written for a very large system with more than 40 million users and about 10 million emails per hour.
Before you start
There are a couple of things you need to know before transition:
 1. Rspamd does not support SpamAssassin statistics so you'd need to train your filter from scratch with spam and ham samples (or install the pre-built statistics). Rspamd uses a different statistical engine - called OSB-Bayes - which is intended to be more precise than SA's 'naive' Bayes classifier
 2. Rspamd uses Lua for plugins and rules, so basic knowledge of this language is more than useful for playing with Rspamd; however, Lua is very simple and can be learned very quickly
 3. Rspamd uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the MTA or milter, so SA native milters might not communicate with Rspamd. There is some limited support of the SpamAssassin protocol, though some commands are not supported, in particular those which require copying of data between scanner and milter. More importantly, Length-less messages are not supported by Rspamd as they completely break HTTP semantics and will never be supported. To achieve the same functionality, a dedicated scanner could use, e.g. HTTP chunked encoding.
 4. Rspamd is NOT intended to work with blocking libraries or services, hence, something like mysql or postgresql will likely not be supported
 5. Rspamd is developing quickly so you should be aware that there might be some incompatible changes between major versions - they are usually listed in the migration section of the site.
 6. Unlike SA where there are only spam and ham results, Rspamd supports five levels of messages called actions:
 - no action - ham message
 - greylist - turn on adaptive greylisting (which is also used on higher levels)
 - add header - adds Spam header (meaning soft-spam action)
 - rewrite subject - rewrite subject to *** SPAM *** original subject
 - reject - ultimately reject message
Each action can have its own score limit which could also be modified by a user's settings. Rspamd assumes the following order of actions: no action <= greylist <= add header <= rewrite subject <= reject.
Actions are NOT performed by Rspamd itself - they are just recommendations for the MTA agent, rmilter for example, that performs the necessary actions such as adding headers or rejecting mail.
SA spam is almost equal to the Rspamd add header action in the default setup. With this action, users will be able to check messages in their Junk folder, which is usually a desired behaviour.
First steps with Rspamd
To install Rspamd, I recommend using one of the official packages that are available for many popular platforms. If you'd like to have more features then you can consider the experimental branch of packages, while if you would like to have more stability then you can select the stable branch. However, normally even the experimental branch is stable enough for production use, and bugs are fixed more quickly in the experimental branch.
General SpamAssassin rules
For those who have a lot of custom rules, there is good news: Rspamd supports a certain set of SpamAssassin rules via a special plugin that allows direct loading of SA rules into Rspamd. You just need to specify your SA configuration files in the plugin configuration:
spamassassin {
 sa_main = "/etc/spamassassin/conf.d/*";
 sa_local = "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf";
On the other hand, if you don't have a lot of custom rules and primarily use the default ruleset then you shouldn't use this plugin: many SA rules are already implemented natively in Rspamd so you won't get any benefit from including such rules from SA.
If you have your SA up and running it is usually possible to switch the system to Rspamd using the existing tools. However, please check the integration document for further details.
Rspamd statistics are not compatible with SA as Rspamd uses a more advanced statistics algorithm, described in the following article, so please bear in mind that you need to relearn your statistics. This can be done, for example, by using the rspamc command: assuming that you have your messages in separate files (e.g. maildir format), placed in directories spam and ham:
rspamc learn_spam spam/
rspamd learn_ham ham/
(You will need Rspamd up and running to use these commands.)
Learning using mail interface
You can also setup rspamc to learn via passing messages to a certain email address. I'd recommend using /etc/aliases for this purpose and a mail-redirect command (e.g. provided by Mail Redirect add-on for Thunderbird MUA). The desired aliases could be the following:
learn-spam123: "| rspamc learn_spam"
learn-ham123: "| rspamc learn_ham"
(You would need to use less predictable aliases to avoid the sending of messages to such addresses by an adversary, or just by mistake, to prevent statistics pollution.)


Newspaper Dance
 - 2 or 3 sheets of newspaper
There are many ways to create dances with a double sheet of newspaper.
 1. Open the newspaper and spread it on the floor.
 2. Skip around it; jump on it; run and leap over it; slither under it; swivel on it with your feet together.
 3. Now pick up the newspaper and wave it from side to side; run with it high in the air; throw it up in the air and watch it float to the floor; repeat and then try to imitate the movement pattern of the newspaper.
 4. Next, crumple the newspaper into a ball; throw the ball and catch it; roll it along the floor and follow on your hands and knees; stand up and dribble it with your feet; lie on your back and hold the ball between your feet how many different movements can you make?
 5. Finally, spread the paper out flat again; pick it up, and as you move from place to place, shred the paper into little pieces and toss them into the air like confetti; scoop up handfuls and throw into the air as you conclude the "newspaper dance."
Note: Be sure to pick up all the pieces of newspaper and take them to the recycling bin!

General Questions about the Powerline or PLC Backhaul Feature of Deco
Deco PX50(AX3000 + G1500), Deco P7 (AC1300+AV600), and Deco P9 (AC1200+AV1000) have a built-in powerline chipset, which provides a feature called Powerline/PLC Backhaul.
Note: Currently, only Deco PX50, Deco P9, and Deco P7 support the Powerline/PLC Backhaul feature.
Q1: Can Deco PX50 build PLC Backhaul with Deco P9 and P7?
No. Deco PX50 uses the G.hn powerline standard while Deco P7/P9 uses the HomePlugAV powerline standard, which is not compatible with each other.
However, the Deco P9 and Deco P7 can build the Powerline Backhaul together.
Q2: How to enable the Powerline Backhaul feature?
Powerline Backhaul doesn't need to be turned on by any hardware or software switch, and it takes effect automatically as long as:
- When Deco PX50/P7/P9 is used as the Main Deco.
- Two or more Deco PX50 under the same power grid, or two or more Deco P7/P9 under the same power grid.
The Powerline Backhaul works between two Deco PX50 or two Deco P7/P9.
Q3: Does the PLC Backhaul takes effect between Deco PX50/P7/P9 and other powerline products?
No. Deco products can only build the PLC Backhaul connection with other Deco products that adopt the same powerline standard.
Q4: Can PLC Backhaul, Ethernet Backhaul, and Wi-Fi Backhaul work at the same time?
If there is no Ethernet cable between the Deco units, Wi-Fi Backhaul and PLC Backhaul will take effect at the same time.
If there is an Ethernet cable between the Deco units, then only Ethernet Backhaul will take effect.
Q5: How to know if PLC Backhaul is established successfully?
1. Deco P7
We can learn whether PLC Backhaul works from the PLC indicator on the power adapter.
If the indicator is solid orange, it means the PLC backhaul connection is bad or even fails to establish. In this case, please refer to Q6 for further help.
If the indicator is solid green, it means the PLC Backhaul connection is good.
2. Deco P9/Deco PX50
There is no LED light on the power adapter of Deco P9/PX50 to indicate the PLC connection status. However, you can click on the network map on the Deco app, then click on a satellite Deco P9/PX50 to check which deco it connects to and whether through the PLC backhaul or not.
Q6: What Can I do if PLC Backhaul is not working properly (The LED indicator on the power adapter is orange)?
1. Make sure all the Deco units are under the same power grid.
2. Connect the Deco unit to a different power socket. Use the wall socket rather than the extension socket.
3. If the Deco unit is close to a DSL modem or a DSL telephone line, plug the Deco into a different wall socket away from them.
4. It is recommended to put two Deco units within a distance of 100 meters. In addition, please keep the Deco units far away from high-power appliances to avoid possible interference.

Acidity increases with increasing s character. propane is sp3 hybridized, propene is sp2 hybridized, propyne is sp hybridized.
Is propane most acidic?
The proton on ethanol is the most acidic proton. Spartan calculations indicate that this proton has the largest positive electrostatic potential suggesting that it is the most acidic proton. It is followed by cyclopropane and propane is the least acidic of the three.
Is propene a strong acid?
the right ans is propene,bcoz evey one kNkws that a weak acid has strong conjugatef base. so here we know propeme is weak acid as compared to propyne, bcoz acidity decreases with decreasing s cheracter.
Is propene acidic or basic?
Acetylene is more Acidic than propene, as propene have a CH3 group attached to sp-hybridized C atom so it provide +I effect & hence protonation is easy in acetylene than propene.
Is c2h4 more acidic than water?
Therefore, we can conclude that R-OH is a weaker acid that water. The correct order is: Ethyne> Ethene >Ethane. This can be explained with the Hydrogen donating tendency of hydrocarbon, carbon which is more electronegative will create high positive charge on hydrogen, hence that hydrocarbon will me most acidic.
Is phenol more acidic than water?
Hence, phenol is more acidic than water.
Is Ethanoic acid a vinegar?
Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a clear colourless liquid which has a pungent, vinegar-like odour.
Which is more acidic Ethyne or propyne?
Ethyne is more acidic than propyne. in propyne methyl group is present which cause + I effect. due to the + I effect methyl group more electron density is present near triple bond hence the release of proton from propyne is difficult than from ethyne.
Which is more acidic propene or propyne?
The order of increasing acidity is, propane < propene < propyne < water.
Are propane and cyclopropane isomers?
Answer: No cyclopropane is not the isomer of propane(C3H8). Propane has no isomer. it is because in an isomer the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms are same.
Why is propene more reactive than propane?
There are ten single bonds in propane, eight between carbon and hydrogen atoms, and two between carbon atoms. In contrast, there are seven single bonds, six between carbon and hydrogen atoms and one between carbon atoms. … On the other hand, propene is more reactive due to the presence of weak pi bonds.
Is propylene heavier than propane?
The following figures compare the relative vapor density of fuel gases with that of air: Natural Gas 0.55 LIGHTER than Air Acetylene 0.91 Air 1.00 Propylene 1.42 MAPP* 1.48 HEAVIER than Air Propane 1.56 Butane 2.05 It is important to note that acetylene and natural gas being lighter than air will rise in air.

Upload images via a text file
Uploading images with a text file is the recommended solution if you need to add a large number of images.
However, this option can be used in 2 ways:
 - If your images are reachable via public URLs, you can fill your text file with a correct format and upload the file to the platform; you can follow this page as a manual for performing the steps.
 - Otherwise, if you have images stored locally you can go with the Deepomatic CLI add image option for importing your data instead.
Prerequisite:
In order to import images using a text file, those images need to be reachable via a public URL. If this is not the case, you need to find ways to upload images to a remote server:
or you can use the Deepomatic command line interface instead to import images from local directories:
Import file format:
When all the images are publicly reachable, we need to tell Deepomatic Studio where to find the images, as well as add any useful information associated with images. For this purpose, you need to follow the platform's expected structure in your import text file as explained in detail in the:
Upload & Progress report
You can start the import process by dragging & dropping or browsing your well-formatted import text file into the Add images tab of each project.
Right after, the import process will be launched and provides you with the step-by-step checks and updates as shown in the followings:
Uploading file: In this step, your import text file is getting uploaded to the platform
Checking views: After your text file has been successfully uploaded, in this step, the header line is read, and accordingly, the views are getting created.
If the header line format contains errors, the platform can not create the views, therefore an error message will pop up accordingly to notify you of the raised error and the import process will be aborted.
Uploading images: When the creation of the views succeeds, the platform starts reading each line of data existing in your import file and proceeds with importing each of them.
If a data line contains errors, the platform skips the data, proceeds with the next data line, and at the end of the import process throws a warning and logs the error in the provided error log file.
Building report: When all the data lines are read, a final report about the number of successfully imported images gets created. In case of the occurrence of errors in data, an error log will be created which contains the details about each error, in related specific lines of data.
When the import successfully finishes without any raised error in the process, and all data lines get imported, you will get notified of the success in the final report.

How To Find Slow Leak In Tire
There are few things more frustrating than discovering that one of your tires has a slow leak. Not only is this an inconvenience, but it can also lead to a dangerous situation. Fortunately, there are ways to detect slow leaks and get them fixed as soon as possible. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the best methods for detecting slow leaks and getting them fixed as quickly as possible.
What is a slow leak in a tire?
When it comes to tires, slow leaks can be a big problem. A slow leak can occur when air escapes from the tire slowly over time, and this can cause the tire to lose pressure and eventually fail. Slow leaks can also lead to increased wear and decreased mileage. To find a slow leak in a tire, you first need to identify which type of tire is leaking.
If it's a radial or bias-ply tire, then the leak is most likely coming from the valve stem or sealant. If it's a pneumatic tire, then your best bet is to check the inner tube for cracks or signs of deflation. If neither option fixes the problem, then you may need to replace the tire altogether.
What to do if you have a slow leak in your tire
If you are having a slow leak in your tire, there are a few things that you can do to find the leak and fix it. The first step is to determine where the leak is happening. This can be done by using a pressure gauge to measure air pressure in different areas of the tire. The next step is to use a scanning tool to look for any small holes or cracks in the tire. Finally, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up any bits of debris that may be causing the leak. Once these steps have been completed, it will be easier to find and fix the problem.
How to find a slow leak in your tire
If you're experiencing a slow leak in one of your tires, the first thing you'll want to do is check your tire pressure. A low tire pressure can cause the air in the tire to escape slowly, potentially leading to a slow leak. If you're still having trouble finding the leak, try using a diagnostic tool like a Leak Detection System (LDS) or Pressure Gauge-In-Tire (PGI). These tools can help you pinpoint the location of the leak and fix it.
Conclusion
If you're noticing that your tires are taking a bit longer to lose pressure than they used to, it may be time to investigate the possibility of a slow leak. Slow leaks can happen for a number of reasons, but the most common is due to an air leak in one or more of your tire's walls. By figuring out where the slow leak is and repairing it, you can ensure that your tires maintain their optimal pressure and provide you with better overall performance.


Parents Sue Wisconsin School District Over Gender Transition Indoctrination
Parents Sue Wisconsin School District over Gender Transition Indoctrination
Tired of being badgered by unconstitutional policies, parents are suing the Madison (Wisconsin) Metropolitan School District for enabling (and even encouraging) children to socially transition to a member of the opposite sex at school without parental notice or consent.
The lawsuit, filed on February 18, claims that the school district is in violation of parents' fundamental and constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children. The lawsuit specifically mentions that the school district's adoption of its "Guidance and Policies to Support Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender-Expansive Students" in 2018 and subsequent "transition" training programs violate two sections of the Wisconsin Constitution as well as numerous Wisconsin supreme court cases which uphold the rights of parents in the upbringing of their children.
The "guidance and policies" mentioned above require teachers to refer to students by their affirmed names and pronouns, and says that "School staff shall not disclose any information that may reveal a student's gender identity to others, including parents or guardians and other school staff, unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure."
The filed lawsuit even includes examples of the school district encouraging children to question their gender. One such example includes a video in which the teacher reads a book to the children that contains statements like: "Are you a boy or a girl? How can you be both? Some days I am both. Some days I am neither. Most days, I am everything in between." And: "Many people understand that my gender is something for only me to decide." The lawsuit also shows how the school district intends to "disrupt" any binary gender discussion through books and lessons "limit[ing] gendered and binary language," and interrupting and correcting "misconceptions about gender or language that reinforce the gender binary."
In other words, the school district is deliberately attempting to oppose Christian beliefs and specifically target Christian children with indoctrination in sexual humanism. And all of this is being done without any parental notification or consent. It's paid for by taxpayers—and yet, those who send their children to Christian schools or homeschool in many states in the US can't get the taxes they pay to be applied to the education they want. Christians who opt out of the increasingly pagan public schools still have to pay their taxes to fund this system!
Now Scripture is clear on this subject of gender (and biology is as well): God created mankind male and female (Genesis 1:27). Coercing children to believe that there are several genders, that you can change your gender based on your feelings, that you can hide this from your parents and even have your teachers lie to them about it is extremely disturbing and wrong. It is also anti-science. Even worse is that if a child believes in the biblical definition of gender, that child could be "interrupted" and "corrected" (which is also a violation of the US and Wisconsin constitutions on freedom of religion according to the dictates of conscience). This is a blatant and unconscionable anti-Christian indoctrination.

How to Store and Retrieve User Settings from SUSI Server in SUSI iOS
Any user using the SUSI iOS client can set preferences like enabling or disabling the hot word recognition or enabling input from the microphone. These settings need to be stored, in order to be used across all platforms such as web, Android or iOS. Now, in order to store these settings and maintain a synchronization between all the clients, we make use of the SUSI server. The server provides an endpoint to retrieve these settings when the user logs in.
First, we will focus on storing settings on the server followed by retrieving settings from the server. The endpoint to store settings is as follows:
_URL_
This takes the key value pair for storing a settings and an access token to identify the user as parameters in the GET request. Let's start by creating the method that takes input the params, calls the API to store settings and returns a status specifying if the executed successfully or not.
 let url = getApiUrl(UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: ControllerConstants.UserDefaultsKeys.ipAddress) as! String, Methods.UserSettings)
 _ = makeRequest(url, .get, [:], parameters: params, completion: { (results, message) in
 if let _ = message {
 completion(false, ResponseMessages.ServerError)
 } else if let results = results {
 guard let response = results as? [String : AnyObject] else {
 completion(false, ResponseMessages.ServerError)
 return
 }
 if let accepted = response[ControllerConstants.accepted] as? Bool, let message = response[Client.UserKeys.Message] as? String {
 if accepted {
 completion(true, message)
 return
 }
 completion(false, message)
 return
 }
 }
 })
Let's understand this function line by line. First we generate the URL by supplying the server address and the method. Then, we pass the URL and the params in the 'makeRequest' method which has a completion handler returning a results object and an error object. Inside the completion handler, check for any error, if it exists mark the request completed with an error else check for the results object to be a dictionary and a key 'accepted', if this key is 'true' our request executed successfully and we mark the request to be executed successfully and finally return the method. After making this method, it needs to be called in the view controller, we do so by the following code.
Client.sharedInstance.changeUserSettings(params) { (_, message) in
 DispatchQueue.global().async {
 self.view.makeToast(message)
 }
}
The code above takes input params containing the user token and key-value pair for the setting that needs to be stored. This request runs on a background thread and displays a toast message with the result of the request.
Now that the settings have been stored on the server, we need to retrieve these settings every time the user logs in the app. Below is the endpoint for the same:
_URL_
This endpoint accepts the user token which is generated when the user logs in which is used to uniquely identify the user and his/her settings are returned. Let's create the method that would call this endpoint and parse and save the settings data in the iOS app's User Defaults.
if let _ = message {
 completion(false, ResponseMessages.ServerError)
} else if let results = results {
 guard let response = results as? [String : AnyObject] else {
 completion(false, ResponseMessages.ServerError)
 return
 }
 guard let settings =
response[ControllerConstants.Settings.settings.lowercased()] as? [String:String] else {
 completion(false, ResponseMessages.ServerError)
 return
 }
 for (key, value) in settings {
 if value.toBool() != nil {
 UserDefaults.standard.set(value.toBool()!, forKey: key)
 } else {
 UserDefaults.standard.set(value, forKey: key)
 }
 }
 completion(true, response[Client.UserKeys.Message] as? String ?? "error")
}
Here, the creation of the URL is same as we created above the only difference being the method passed. We parse the settings key value into a dictionary followed by a loop which loop's through all the keys and stores the value in the User Defaults for that key. We simply call this method just after user log in as follows:
Client.sharedInstance.fetchUserSettings(params as [String : AnyObject]) { (success, message) in
 DispatchQueue.global().async {
 print("User settings fetch status: \(success) : \(message)")
 }
}
That's all for this tutorial where we learned how to store and retrieve settings on the SUSI Server.

This inventory of traffic areas in the city of Brunswick, Germany, is based on image sequences acquired during six flight campaigns at different times of the day and year in 2019 and 2020. Each aerial image is segmented by a neural network into the classes (1) Parking area, (2) Road, and (3) Access way, with the latter two classes differing in terms of their primary transportation function (mobility versus access). The individual segmentations are subsequently merged, since in addition to dedicated parking areas, those traffic areas that are regularly used for parking a motorized vehicle (e.g., at the curbside) are also to be classified as such. Furthermore, the multitemporal fusion enhances the robustness and completeness of the traffic area map (TAM). Potential applications include: urban planning, traffic modeling, and parking management.

Connecting Node-RED to Azure IoT Central
2019年1月22日 に投稿済み
Principal PM Manager, Azure IoT
Today I want to show how simple it is to connect a temperature/humidity sensor to Azure IoT Central using a Raspberry Pi and Node-RED.
As many of you know, Raspberry Pi is a small, single-board computer. Its low cost, low power nature makes it a natural fit for IoT projects. Node-RED is a flow-based, drag and drop programming tool designed for IoT. It enables the creation of robust automation flows in a web browser, simplifying IoT project development.
For my example, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and a simple DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, but it should work with other models of the Pi. If you have a different kind of sensor, you should be able to adapt the guide below to use it, provided you can connect Node-RED to your sensor.
Configuring Azure IoT Central
 1. Create an app.
 2. Create a new device template.
 - Temp (temp)
 - Humidity (humidity)
 3. Create a real device and get the DPS connection information.
 4. Use dps-keygen to provision the device and get a device connection string.
 - Identify the three parts of the resulting connection string and save them for later.
Connecting the DHT22 sensor
Before we can get data from our DHT22 sensor, we need to connect it to the pi. The DHT22 typically has three pins broken out, but some of them have four. If you have one with four, check the datasheet to confirm which pins are voltage (may be shown as +, VCC or VDD), data (or signal), and ground.
With the pi powered off, use jumper wires to connect your DHT22 as shown below:
Use jumper wires to connect your DHT22
NOTE: The power jumper (red) should go to 3.3V, data jumper (yellow) should go to GPIO4 and the ground jumper (black) should go to ground. Some boards are different, so double-check your connections!
Installing required software
I started by installing Raspbian Lite using the guide. Then, I installed Node-RED. At this point you should be able to open a browser and visit to see the Node-RED interface. Next, install the Azure IoT Hub nodes for Node-RED. The easiest way to do this is from the Node-RED interface, using the Manage Palette command.
Install the DHT22 nodes. Unfortunately, since this node has some lower-level hardware requirements, it can't be installed through the Manage Palette command. Please follow the instructions using the link above.
Configuring the flow
Now that you have Node-RED up and running on your pi, you're ready to create your flow. By default, Node-RED should already have a flow called "Flow 1," but if you can easily create a new one by selecting the (+) icon above the canvas.
Starting the flow with the inject node
The first node we will add to this flow is an input node. For this example, we will use the inject node which simply injects an arbitrary JSON document into the flow. From the input section in the palette, drag the node from the palette on the left onto the canvas. Then, double select it to open the configuration window. Set the node properties as shown below:
Starting the flow with the inject node
This node will simply inject a JSON object where the payload is set to a timestamp. We don't really care about that value. This is just a simple way to kick off the flow.
Getting data from the DHT22
In the Node-RED palette, find the rpi dht22 node and drag it onto the canvas. Double click on it to open the configuration window, and set the node properties as shown below:
The rpi dht22 node configuration window
Connect the inject node to the rpi dht22 node by dragging the little handle from one to the other.
Reformatting the message
The JSON message produced by the DHT22 node isn't formatted correctly for sending to Azure IoT, so we need to fix that. We will use the change node to do this, so drag it out from the palette onto the canvas and connect it to the DHT22 node. Double click on it to open the configuration window and set the node properties as shown below:
How to edit the change node
For the functional part of this node, we will use JSONata, which is a query and transformation language for JSON documents. After selecting the JSONata type in the to selector, select the […] button to open the editor and enter the following:
Expression editor
Here we are extracting the temperature and humidity values from the input JSON message and putting them inside the data element in the resulting JSON message. We're also adding the device ID and shared access key which you got from the Device Connection String earlier.
Sending the data to Azure IoT Central
Now that we've got the JSON message ready, find the Azure IoT Hub node in the palette and drag it onto the canvas. Again, double click on it to open the configuration window and set the properties as shown here:
Azure IoT Hub node
Confirming your message and debugging
The final node we will add to our flow is a debug node, which simply outputs the message it is given to the debug panel in Node-RED. Connect it to the end of the flow (after Azure IoT Hub) and set the name to "Hub Response."
If you're interested in seeing the JSON message at any point in the flow, you can add more debug nodes anywhere you want. You can enable or disable the output of a debug node by selecting the little box on the right side of the node.
The flow
Here is what your flow should look like. I've added a couple of extra debug nodes while developing this flow, but you can see that only the Hub Response node is enabled.
The flow
Before you can run the flow, you need to deploy it from the workspace. To do this select the red Deploy button at the top right of the Node-RED screen. Then, simply select the little box on the left of the every minute node and it will start. Since we configured that node to run every minute, it will continue to send messages to Azure IoT Central until you stop it by either disabling the flow or redeploying.
Pop back over to your IoT Central app and you should start seeing data within a minute or so.
IoT Central App
As you can see, connecting Node-RED to Azure IoT Central is pretty simple. This is a great way to quickly prototype and experiment with different sensors and message payloads without having to write any code! You can also use this approach for creating gateways or protocol translators so you can easily connect almost anything to Azure IoT Central.
Appendix: Flow source
If you want to just copy-paste the whole thing in instead of building it up yourself, you can import the following JSON into Node-RED and just update the three values from your Device Connection String (see the instructions above).

I cannot offer names for your functions, but I was interested to see what they look like. Here is the function with the denominators unsquared, i.e., just the distances $||p-a||$ and $||q-b||$:
