Framework:
Addon API
Core Addon API
This is the core addon API. This is how to get the addon API:
addons.getChannel()
Get an instance to the channel where you can communicate with the manager and the preview. You can find this in both the addon register code and in your addon's wrapper component (where used inside a story).
It has a NodeJS EventEmitter compatible API. So, you can use it to emit events and listen for events.
addons.register()
This method allows you to register an addon and get the storybook API. You can do this only in the Manager App. See how we can use this:
Now you'll get an instance to our StorybookAPI. See the api docs for Storybook API regarding using that.
addons.add()
This method allows you to add a panel to Storybook. (Storybook's Action Logger is a panel). You can do this only in the Manager App. See how you can use this method:
The render function is called with active and key.
When the panel is in focus in the UI, the active will be true.
As you can see, you can set any React Component as the panel. Currently, it's one line of text. But you can do anything you want. You should specify the panel title. It could be a plain text.
makeDecorator API
The makeDecorator API can be used to create decorators in the style of the official addons. Use it like so:
The options to makeDecorator are:
 - name: The name of the export (e.g. withFoo)
 - parameterName: The name of the parameter your addon uses. This should be unique.
 - skipIfNoParametersOrOptions: Don't run your decorator if the user hasn't set options (via .addDecorator(withFoo(options)))) or parameters (.add('story', () => <Story/>, { foo: 'param' }), or .addParameters({ foo: 'param' })).
 - allowDeprecatedUsage: support the deprecated "wrapper" usage (.add('story', () => withFoo(options)(() => <Story/>))).
 - wrapper: your decorator function. Takes the storyFn, context, and both the options and parameters (as defined in skipIfNoParametersOrOptions above).
Note if the parameters to a story include { foo: { disable: true } } (where foo is the parameterName of your addon), your decorator will not be called.
Storybook hooks
Writing addons can be simplified a lot by using these Storybook hooks:
useStorybookState
Allows full access to the entire storybook state. Your component will re-render whenever the storybook state changes.
If you use this, remember your component wil be re-rendered a lot, and you may need to optimize for that using React.memo or useMemo or PureComponent.
useStorybookApi
Allows full access to the storybook API.
Detail on the storybook api are further down.
useChannel
Allows for both setting subscriptions to events and getting the emitter for emitting custom event unto the channel.
The messages can be listened for on both the iframe and the manager side.
useAddonState
Extremely useful for addons that need to persist some state.
Storybook may unmount your addon component, and so keeping local state, might not work really well.
Also some addons consist of multiple parts, some part being in a panel, some in the toolbar etc.
With this hook they can all get access to the same bit of state which is persisted even if the components are unmounted.
useParameter
This hook gets you the current story's parameter.
If the parameter isn't set, the default value (second argument) is returned instead.
Storybook API
Storybook API allows you to access different functionalities of Storybook UI. You can move an instance to the Storybook API when you register an addon.
Let's have a look at API methods.
api.selectStory()
With this method, you can select a story via an API. This method accepts two parameters.
 1. story kind name
 2. story name (optional)
Let's say you've got a story like this:
This is how you can select the above story:
api.selectInCurrentKind()
Same as selectStory, but accepts a story inside current kind as the only parameter:
api.setQueryParams()
This method allows you to set query string parameters. You can use that as temporary storage for addons. Here's how you set query params.
If you need to remove a query param, use null for that. For an example, let's say we need to remove bbc query param. This is how we do it:
api.getQueryParam()
This method allows you to get a query param set by above API setQueryParams. For example, let's say we need to get the bbc query param. Then this how we do it:
api.getUrlState(overrideParams)
This method allows you to get application url state with some changed params. For example, if you want to get a link to a particular story:
api.on(eventName, fn)
This method allows you to register a handler function which will be called whenever the user navigates between stories.

The next time you're about to order some calorie-bomb at a restaurant, pay attention to how loud the music is. Because the two things might be linked...
A new study in Sweden found loud music in restaurants makes us more likely to choose unhealthy menu options. And we're more likely to go with something healthy like a salad when the music ISN'T so loud.
Researchers went to a café and played music at different decibel levels to see how it affected what people ordered. Either 55 decibels, which is like background chatter or the hum from a refrigerator... or 70 decibels, which is closer to a vacuum cleaner.
And when they cranked it to up 70, people were 20% more likely to order something unhealthy, like a burger and fries.
They did it over the course of several days and kept getting the same results. So the study seems pretty legit.
The explanation is pretty simple. Basically, soft music is calming, and louder music gets us amped up. It even increases our heart rate. And that can impact our decision-making.

Twins Seven-Seven, The Spirits of My Reincarnation Brothers and Sisters
Ink, batik, dye, watercolor, acrylic, and oil on cloth

Museum purchase with funds provided by Rob and Frances Kohler, 2018
58 in. x 60 in.
This astonishingly detailed painting represents Twins's reworking of a subject he addressed in a 1968–69 canvas of the same name. George Jevremović—owner of Material Culture, an imports retailer in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia where Twins was an artist-in-residence in the 2000s— challenged the artist to create a work as spectacular as his earlier iteration. Exceeding both men's expectations, Twins created this version.
The title derives from Twins's status as an abiku child, one who has strong ties to the spirit world. When an abiku child is born, the spirit world tries to reclaim him, which results in an earthly death in childhood or shortly thereafter. Twins experienced this death several times himself. According to the artist, he was born as a twin six different times to his mother, who lost all twelve of these children within their first few years of life. Only when he was born a seventh time, again as a twin, did he survive, though his twin sister would not.
In this version, the "brothers and sisters" are his brothers and sisters on this earth, not biologically related siblings, but the Nigerian people he knew who depended on him. They are depicted as musicians in a band, along with spirits. The figure in the center is Twins' self-portrait.

text: The internal erosion of soil pipes can induce pipe collapses that affect soil erosion processes and landform evolution. The objective of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of pipe collapses in agricultural fields of Goodwin Creek watershed. Ground survey was carried out to detect pipe collapses, and the location, size and surface elevation was measured with differential GPS. A total of 143 of the 145 pipe collapses were found in cropland, and the density was approximately 0.58 collapses per hectare. The spatial distribution of pipe collapses was not uniform as pipe collapses were concentrated in the flat alluvial plains where the land use was dominated by cropland. One of the four parcels had 90% of the pipe collapses with a density of 7.7 collapses per hectare. The mean depth, area and volume of these pipe collapses were 0.12 m, 0.34 m2 and 0.02 m3, respectively, and all these properties exhibited a skewed distribution. The drainage area–slope gradient equation, which has been widely used for erosion phenomenon prediction, did not represent pipe collapses in this study as the coefficient of determination was <0.01. This is clear evidence that subsurface flow is not represented by surface topographic characteristics. The pipe collapses were found to intercept runoff, thereby reducing the slope length factor by 6% and the drainage area by 7%. Both of these factors can reduce the sheet and rill erosion; however, the increased subsurface flow could enhance ephemeral gully erosion. Published 2012.

About Astro
Astro is a fully-managed SaaS application for data orchestration that helps teams write and run data pipelines with Apache Airflow at any level of scale. The infrastructure to run Airflow is managed entirely by Astronomer, enabling you to shift your focus from infrastructure to using data to grow your business.
This document provides an overview of the architecture and key concepts in Astro that enable your team to make the most of your data pipelines. See Astro Features to learn more about Astro functionality. To get started with Astro, see Start a trial.
Architecture
Astro, also known as Astro Hosted, is built to both simplify and optimize Airflow so you can customize the parts of your environment that matter most to you, with Astro taking care of the rest. Whether you use Astro to power internal analytics or to train machine learning models, learning how Astro works can help you decide which deployment and connectivity model works best for you and enables your team to start running DAGs.
You can work with Astro using the Astro UI in your web browser, the Astro CLI, or the Astro API. Astro makes it easy for Airflow environments, called Deployments, to securely connect to external data services.
The Astro Hypervisor is an Astronomer-managed component of the Astro platform that scales and optimizes your Deployments and the clusters they're hosted on.
The following diagram shows how these components work together to help you manage Airflow on Astro.
Astro Hosted architecture overview
Key concepts
The following sections give a detailed explanation of key concepts that you need to understand in order to work with Astro. You can find definitions for additional Astro-specific terminology in the Astro glossary.
Astro CLI
The Astro CLI is an open source interface you can use to test Airflow DAGs locally, deploy code to Astro, and automate key Astro actions as part of a CI/CD process. Using the Astro CLI to run Airflow locally requires Docker or an alternative container management tool, like Podman.
An Airflow project created with the Astro CLI is also known as an Astro project. It contains the set of files necessary to run Airflow, including dedicated folders for your DAG files, Python packages, utility files, and more. Astronomer recommends that you create a dedicated Git repository for each Astro project. To run a DAG, you add the DAG to your Astro project and deploy your Astro project to Astro.
See Run your first DAG with the Astro CLI to create your first Astro project.
Astro UI
The Astro UI, hosted at _URL_, is the primary interface for accessing and managing Astro from your web browser. You can use the Astro UI to:
 - Manage users, teams, and permissions.
 - Create and configure Deployments, including infrastructure resources and compute.
 - View all of your organization's Deployments, DAGs, and tasks in a single place.
 - Monitor the health of your Airflow environments with a variety of alerts, logs, and analytics interfaces.
 - Stay up to date with the latest Astro features.
 - Create and edit DAGs in the Astro Cloud IDE.
Deployment
An Astro Deployment is an Airflow environment hosted on Astro. It encompasses all core Airflow components, including the Airflow webserver, scheduler, and workers, along with additional tools for reliability and observability. It runs in an isolated Kubernetes namespace in an Astro cluster and has a set of attached resources to run your Airflow tasks.
Compared to an open source Airflow environment, an Astro Deployment is easy to create, delete, and modify through either the Astro UI or with the Astro CLI. You can fine-tune resources and settings directly from the Astro UI, see metrics and analytics for your DAGs, review your deploy history, and more. The infrastructure required to run a Deployment is managed by Astronomer.
To run DAGs in a Deployment, you must either deploy an Astro project manually from your local machine or configure an automated deploy process using a third-party CI/CD tool with the Astro CLI. Then, you can open the Airflow UI from the Astro UI and view your DAGs. See Run your first DAG to get started with examples of either workflow.
Astro Runtime
Astro Runtime is a debian-based Docker image that bundles Apache Airflow with optimized configurations and add-ons that make your Airflow experience reliable, fast, and scalable. Astronomer releases an Astro Runtime distribution for each version of Apache airflow.
Every Deployment and Astro project uses Astro Runtime at its core. Astronomer provides extended support and bug fixes to Astro Runtime versions, so that you can keep your DAGs running for longer without disruption.
See Astro Runtime Architecture and features for a complete feature list.
Workspace
A Workspace is a collection of Deployments that can be accessed by a specific group of users. You can use a Workspace to group Deployments that share a business use case or environment trait. For example, your data science team might have a dedicated Workspace with two Deployments within it. Workspaces don't require any resources to run and are only an abstraction for grouping Deployments and configuring user access to them. All Deployments must belong to a Workspace.
You can assign new users Workspace roles that include varying levels of access to your Deployments.
Cluster
A cluster in Astro is a Kubernetes cluster that hosts the infrastructure required to run your Airflow environments, also known as Deployments in Astro. There are two types of clusters in Astro:
 - A standard cluster is a multi-tenant cluster that's pre-configured by Astronomer. It's the default cluster type and the quickest way to get an Airflow environment up and running on Astro. Each Deployment in a standard cluster exists in its own isolated Kubernetes namespace. To run a Deployment in a standard cluster, you select a cloud provider and region when you create the Deployment. Then, Astro automatically creates your Deployment in an existing standard cluster based on your configuration. See Standard cluster configurations for a list of all cloud providers and regions where you can use standard clusters.
 - A dedicated cluster is a single-tenant cluster that's used exclusively by Organizations with additional security and networking requirements. Compared to standard clusters, dedicated clusters provide more configuration options for cloud providers and regions, as well as private network connectivity and security. Note that due to expanded resource usage, dedicated clusters cost more than standard clusters. See Create a Dedicated cluster to get started with dedicated clusters.
For both cluster types, Astro manages all underlying infrastructure and provides secure connectivity options to all data services in your ecosystem.
Organization
An Astro Organization is the highest level entity in Astro and represents a shared space for your company on Astro. An Organization is automatically created when you first sign up for Astronomer. At the Organization level, you can manage all of your users, Deployments, Workspaces, and clusters from a single place in the Astro UI.
To securely manage user access, you can integrate your Organization with an identity provider (IdP) and set up SCIM provisioning to have new users automatically join Astro with the correct permissions.
Access control architecture
Astro uses role-based access control (RBAC) to define which users are permitted to take certain actions or access certain resources. For example, you can assign a user or automation tool permission to deploy DAGs, but not to delete a Deployment. Roles in Astro are defined at the Workspace and Organization levels.
Each Astro user has a Workspace role in every Workspace they belong to, plus a single Organization role. Users can also belong to Teams, which apply the same role across a group of users. To automate managing user roles or deploying code, you can create API tokens with specific roles to automate most actions on Astro.
Use the following diagram as a reference for how these components interact with each other in Astro.

ABSTRACT

The Dragon Promoter Finder is an advanced system for promoter recognition in vertebrates. It uses a collection of models based on multisensor integration, signal processing, and artificial neural networks. The system uses newly developed sensors based on the statistical concept of oligonucleotide positional distributions in specific functional regions of DNA. These distributions are modeled as a set of position weight matrices of the most significant oligonucleotides. The authors calibrated the system to minimize the number of false-positive predictions for various prespecified sensitivity levels. When evaluated on a large and diverse human sequence set, it exhibited several times higher accuracy than several other publicly available general promoter recognition systems.

INDEX TERMS
DNA analysis, promoter recognition, gene finding, multisensor integration, artificial neural networks, composite models.

Most of us have heard the word 3g in case of network. 3g network increases our internet speed. But-Do you know- There is a technique called 3g cutting in plants that increases our plant production in geometric ratio.
If we know the exact technique of 3g cutting, then we can increase our production in drastic and exponential way. But, if we don't know the right way of doing it, then our plant may die and we might lose all the production.
Wait wait!!-Don't worry, we are here to guide you on doing 3g cutting in a proper way. The only thing you need to do is- read this article till end without any skip.
3G cutting can be defined as the scientific process applied in plants to get higher production by increasing the number of female flowers through the process of pruning and trimming the tip of first and second generation branches.
3g here, refers three branches i.e up to 3rd generation (Tertiary) branches.
In 3g cutting-The first and second generation branches are deprived of apical dominance and are subjected to produce 3rd generation branches. This is done to increase our harvest.
Principle Of 3g Cutting
We all know the fruit develops from female flowers. That means female flower has ultimate role in production though there is necessity of male flower also.
This means if we have more female flowers in a plant-Then we can get more fruits. Right??
So-The role of 3g cutting is to increase the number of female flowers in a plant.
Generally, In a crop the ratio of male and female flower is unequal. The number of male flowers are more in comparison to female flowers.
After applying this cutting, the number of female flowers increase and becomes more or equal to male flowers in a crop. This will ultimately increases crop production in great ratio.
The ratio of male flower to female flower in cucurbitaceae family before and after 3g cutting is :-
1.Before 3G cutting
✓MALE : FEMALE = 14:1
2.After 3G cutting
So, there is great increase in female flowers after applying this technique in our plants. Less number of male flowers can also pollinate large number of female flowers. Here, I have attached a result of this procedure in chilli plant.
FACT:-We can get production equivalent to 3 crops from single crop by the application of 3g cutting.
Plants Compatible For 3g Cutting
3G cutting is popular and successful in cucurbits, However- It can be done in wide variety of other crops also.
Here is the list of crops in which 3g cutting is successful:-
You May Like These Articles:-
Steps Of 3g Cutting
👉Step 1:-First of all, you should allow the crop to grow freely until it attains the height of (6-8)ft.
Until the height of first 5 leaves from base(ground)-you shouldn't allow any side branch to develop from main stem.
👉Step 2:-If any side branch develops from main stem before this height-you should pinch it out. After 5 leaves-You can allow any side branches to develop from main stem.
👉Step 3:-When plant attain the height of (6-8)ft you should cut(pinch) the growing tip of main stem.The cutting of growing tip of main stem makes apical dominance of plant very less.
The reduction of apical dominance in plant favours the development of more and more side branches(2g) from main stem.
👉Step 4:-The side branches that develops after the cutting of tip of main stem should be allowed to grow until they develops 12 leaves in them.
👉Step 5:-When the 2nd generation side branches develops 12 leaves-The growing tips of all side branches should be cut off.
Note:-The reason to cut after 12 leafs is that most of the female flowers develops up to 12 leafs.
👉Results:-When the tips of side branches are cut off-Then large number of 3rd generation side branches develops.
After some days-Flowering starts. The plant develops male flowers in 1st and 2nd generation branches but in 3rd generation branches there develops large number of female flowers.
As the number of female flowers in plants becomes more-The more fruits develops.
This will increase our ultimate production to great extent.
TIPS:- People who grow these types of crops in their terrace(roofs), they should check if the pollination happened or not. If there are no bees, butterflies coming then you can do artificial pollination.
For this you, can use brush to take pollens from male flower and put them in female flowers.
Benefits Of 3g Cutting
-We can increase our production in drastic way.
-Large amount of production can be harvested at small area. This solves the problem of land scarcity.
-The quality and size of fruits will be of very high quality.
-As production increases-3g cutting helps to generate more income from small area.
Demerits Of 3g Cutting
-After the trimming of tip-The vegetative phase of plant increases and thus takes longer time to make flower and fruit.
-This technique needs good technical knowledge otherwise it may cause loss.
-There is chance of disease and fungal infection at the part which is trimmed out. So, proper care should be done.
-Farmers often finds 3g cutting as tedious job to do.
There are some things that needs to give proper attention before doing 3g cutting in any crop.
Some of the measures are:-
-As the crop germinates, there should not be any side branches until (5-6) leaves from ground. The reason is there is no production of female flowers in these branches.
-The main stem should be grow properly. It should attain height of (8-10) feet for 1st trimming.
-Before 5 leafed stage height, no side branches should be allowed to develop. If any branches develops, you should pinch it out. This makes base strong.
-Soil shouldn't be dry. There should be proper moisture in soil.
-Plant should be kept in proper sunlight.
-The plant should be trimmed so that it doesn't becomes bushy. If the plant becomes bushy, sunlight cannot enter into plant and fruits becomes small.
Thus- From the whole article we have got the information that 3g cutting in plants has immense potential.
The farmers should made aware of this technique in order to increase their production and profit.

For an automated selection of tasks to process, operators can use the Get Next Work logic. Get Next Work automatically prompts users with an assignment that currently has the highest urgency in work queues and work groups that the operator can access.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click.
- On the Operators tab, select an operator that you want
Tip: To find your operator faster, in the Search Text field, enter the operator name, and then click Search.
- On the Work tab, in the Organizational
unit section, define the affiliation of the operator within the
organization by clicking Update, and then provide a
relevant organization, division, and unit.
For example: For an organization, enter the name of your company, for example, UPlusTelco, and then provide a division and unit, such as BankingOperations for a division and Mortgages for a unit.
- In the Team field, enter a work group to which the user
belongs.A work group defines routing of tasks and a reporting manager of the user.
For example: If you create Team A to review mortgage requests and Team B to investigate issues with mortgage operations, the two teams can use separate areas of your application so that the work is logically separated.
- Optional: To assign a user to multiple work groups, click Add a work group, in the text box enter a work group, and then select the radio button next to the work group that you want to set as the default.
- Optional: To enhance the reporting options of your application, in the Reports to field, enter the reporting manager for the user.
- Optional: To enable routing of tasks based on a skillset, in the
Skill field, enter the ability of the user, and then
in the Rating field, enter the level of the
ability.You can apply a rating from 1 to 10, where 10 implies the highest level of the skill.
For example: To indicate that a user is a fluent speaker of French, in the Skill field, enter French, and then in the Rating field, enter 10.
- Optional: To allow the user to process assignments from a work queue that corresponds
with the user's work group, in the Work queue section,
click Add item, and then provide a work queue and an
urgency threshold.During Get Next Work processing, your application ignores assignments with urgency lower than the urgency threshold. For more information about Get Next Work, see Customizing the Get Next Work logic.
- Optional: To assign the user to multiple work queues, click Add item, and then repeat step 8.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from the work
queues of the user first, select the Get from work queues
first check box.Otherwise, Get Next Work picks up the top assignment on the user worklist, and accesses work queues only if this user's worklist is empty.
For example: If a user is a member of the Team A to review mortgage requests, the Next Get Work algorithm suggests assignments that the application routes to the Team A work queue first and then moves to the assignments from the user's individual worklist.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from all work queues that correspond with the team that you provided in step 4, select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box.
- Optional: To trigger the Next Assignment item to consolidate assignments from all of the
work queues of the user, sort by assignment urgency, and return the most urgent
assignment in any work queue, select the Merge work
queues check box.If you select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box in step 11, the system selects the Merge work queues check box by default and you cannot clear this check box.
- Click Save.

This paper reviews the progress on nano-aperture vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The design, fabrication, and polarization control of nano-aperture VCSELs are reviewed. With the nano-aperture evolving from conventional circular and square aperture to unique C-shaped, H-shaped, I-shaped, and bowtie-shaped aperture, both the near-field intensity and near-field beam confinement from nano-aperture VCSELs are significantly improved. As a high-intensity compact light source with sub-100-nm spot size, nano-aperture VCSELs are promising to realize many new near-field optical systems and applications.

Appcell Storage
Depending on the business needs and preferences, some AppCell plugins may require their own data storage. This is done through ETCD storage.
Plugins, such as cPanel and Plesk do require the use of having their own storage, as they include data such as their location, IDs, DNS, ID security, login information, etc. Most often the Plugin must write/update its data. Having security in mind, it is best not to allow the plugin access to the main database (Billia). Rather, an alternative mechanism is offered as a recommendation to use for storage - the ETCD storage.
What is ETCD storage
ETCD is a type of a distributed key-value storage, which provides a reliable way to store data. It can then be accessed by a distributed system or a cluster of machines. Applications of any complexity can read data from and write data into ETCD.
ETCD also includes a vast library for the more popular programming languages - JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, Swift, SQL, Ruby, etc.
Why use ETCD storage
Using ETCD is a more simplified process for storage than most. Other options may include more complicated methods for storage and data distribution, such as e.g. using relational databases with a complex structure. The ETCD storage, on the other hand, works with predefined credentials used to access a personal "sent box" in the storage space, where the data for the specific plugin is kept.
Moreover, each plugin that is being installed, would be provided with its own separate ETCD sent box. These ETCD sent boxes also have security, where one Cell cannot access or read the data of another Cell. This way passwords, login and server information cannot be accessed or taken without authorization.
One Cell can access its own storage and read its own data only. But AppCell is the only software able to access and read all Cells' data.
How it works
When a Cell is in the process of being installed, the four Appcell installation files are used: Appcell.json, Plugins.json, Resources.json and Settings.json.
In the installation file AppCell.json, "etcd": ">=3.0" can be specified, which means that during that installation process an ETCD storage is automatically created, with the dedicated database, username, Cell name, and password. It will provide the ETCD host name, password and available access.
"appcell": {
 "etcd": {
 "username": "examplecell",
 "password": "L8bw8BS7jcpkmF1t",
 "access": "/examplecell/*"
Inside this storage is where the application can be configured and where it can read and write its data when changes occur.
In the case ETCD is not requested in the AppCell.json installation file, no such will be created.
Two methods of work are present in regards to assigning/creating an ETCD storage.
 1. Either a personal ETCD storage will be automatically created during the installation of the Cell, or;
 2. A specified API, called AppCellSentboxStorage, can be used instead, which will generate pre-set testing storage boxes. These boxes are available for the application while it's being developed. During that time, data can still be written in it and when it's time - it can be easily erased.

What Skills Are Taught in Online Receptionist Classes?
Online receptionist classes teach students to communicate with business professionals, use basic computer applications and perform multiple administrative tasks. Receptionists, secretaries and administrative assistants learn to professionally answer phones, organize business documents and provide quality customer service to clients. Schools offering Administrative Assistant degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Online receptionist courses are generally offered through certificate degree programs. Students can earn Receptionist Certificates, Office Assistant Certificates or Administrative Assistant Certificates. There are also specialty receptionist programs for medical and legal receptionists. Online courses are ideal for receptionist programs because much of a work receptionist's work is computer-based.
Skills Taught in Online Receptionist Classes
Online courses teach students to work with word processing, spreadsheet and online computer applications. Students learn to create simple business documents like memos or inventory checklists. Because receptionists are often responsible for payroll or financial records, online programs teach students basic business math skills.
Students learn how to properly use office equipment like photocopiers, printers and fax machines. Communication with coworkers and customers is a key aspect of a receptionist's work, so students learn to maximize their written and verbal communication skills. Students also learn basic business principles that allow them to work in many areas of business. Specialty courses in medical or legal administration teach skills in medical and legal terminology, procedures and transcription.
Duties of Receptionists
Receptionists are responsible for recording messages, providing basic contact or business information, clerical organization and administrative scheduling. Using computer applications, receptionists perform data entry and communication tasks. Depending on the type of business, receptionists can be responsible for greeting and assisting customers who visit the office. Receptionists can also be responsible for organizing safety and legal policies, procedures and logbooks.

SQL statement for querying the maximum number of SQLServer connections
Source: Internet
Author: User
Set the T-SQL statement under the maximum number of connections to configure the maximum number of concurrent user connections allowed by SQLServer. Execsp_configureshowadvancedoptions, 1execsp_configureuserconnections, the first sentence of 100 is used to display the sp_configure system stored procedure advanced options, using userconnection
Set the T-SQL statement under the maximum number of connections to configure the maximum number of concurrent user connections allowed by SQL Server. Exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1 exec sp_configure 'user connections', the first sentence of 100 is used to display the advanced options of sp_configure system stored procedure, using user connection
Set the maximum number of connections
The following T-SQL statements configure the maximum number of concurrent user connections allowed by SQL Server.
Exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
Exec sp_configure 'user connections', 100
The first sentence is used to display the advanced options of the sp_configure system stored procedure. When user connections is used, the value of show advanced options is required to be 1.
In the second sentence, the maximum number of connections is. 0 indicates no limit, but not unlimited.
You can also configure it in Enterprise Manager. In Enterprise Manager, you can right-click an instance and choose "properties"> "connection" to change it.
You need to restart SQL Server to make the value take effect.
@ Max_connections
Select @ max_connections
It always returns 32767, not the user connections set above. In fact, it indicates the maximum number of user connections can be set. Since the maximum value is 32767, when user connections is 0, the maximum number of connections is 32767, which is not infinite.
By default, the user connections value is 0, which means that the maximum number of connections of SQL Server is 32767 by default.
Obtain the maximum number of connections currently set:
Select value from master. dbo. sysconfigures where [config] = 103
How to monitor SQLServer connections
/* Query the number of connections */
Select loginame, count (1) as Nums
From sys. sysprocesses
Group by loginame
Order by 2 desc
Select spid, ecid, status, loginame, hostname, cmd, request_id
From sys. sysprocesses where loginame = ''and hostname =''
Method 2:
SP_WHO 'loginname'
LoginName is the user name used to log on to SQL. Generally, a username is used in the program to log on to SQL. This user name can be used to check the connection occupied by the user name after login.
If you do not enter loginName, all connections are returned.
Since the number of connections is predictable and monitorable, it is measurable, so we can evaluate or test the program concurrency based on the actual situation.
With this, I believe the above confusions can be solved.

The British Postal Museum in London houses a collection of objects, archives and works of art which trace back over 400 years of postal heritage. This historical collection is designated as being of outstanding national importance by the Arts Council and is on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. The museum's archives are protected by a pressurised watermist fire protection system, designed, installed and maintained by Fireworks.
Why use pressurised watermist for archives?
Fireworks' watermist solutions are ideal for archives, as they offer the fastest, safest protection against fire and smoke. Automatic systems incorporate sensors that detect heat and/or smoke, long before fire is noticeable by the human eye. Pressurised water is then emitted exactly at the point of fire, to provide a highly effective, localised solution. The spread of harmful smoke is dramatically reduced and unlike traditional sprinkler systems, watermist only uses very small amounts of water.
The watermist fire protection system
The watermist solution designed for the British Postal Museum comprises a compact, powerful pump unit and a series of watermist nozzles. In the event of a fire been detected, the pump drives pressurised water through a system of fine diameter stainless steel pipes to the affected nozzle. Water is released through the nozzle, in the form of mist. These atomised water droplets are drawn directly to the point of fire, lowering the temperature and suppressing the fire in seconds.
A unique property of watermist is its ability to reduce the spread of smoke – the biggest cause of casualties and damage to assets during fire. Because of the minute size of water droplets, watermist is airborne and is able to bond with smoke particles, which then fall harmlessly to the floor.

Manufacturing Methods for Sulfur Concrete Sewer Pipe
This Phase I research is intended to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing low-cost, acid-resistant sanitary sewer pipe from sulfur concrete. Sulfur is an abundant mineral recovered from coking, natural gas processing, and petroleum refining. Secondary recovery of sulfur, resulting from environmental regulation, produces more material than is needed by U.S. industry. The U.S. Bureau of Mines developed a process by which elemental sulfur can be used as a thermal cement with aggregate fillers to make concrete. Sulfur concrete appears to be a good solution to solve the problem of deteriorating sewerage structures made from Portland cement. Portland cement is alkaline and has been found to perform poorly in the acid environment in most sanitary sewer systems. Alternative materials that can solve the problem of premature failure of concrete pipe are expensive. The purpose of this Phase I project is to develop a low-cost alternative to traditional concrete pipe.

Tricon completed this very technically difficult project for the City of Dubuque. The Railroad Culverts Project is a critical phase of the larger Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project and will increase the flood mitigation system's capacity to protect the area from a 75-year rain event to a 500-year rain event. The railroad culverts project involved using micro-tunneling methods to install six, 8-foot diameter culverts under the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) tracks along Garfield Ave. This will allow stormwater to drain more efficiently from the Upper Bee Branch Creek to the Lower Bee Branch Creek and 16th St. Detention Basin. The six steel culverts were installed under the CP Railroad tracks while the trains remained operational. A jacking system was constructed below the Bee Branch water basin and the culverts were installed by boring 200' long tunnels 20' under the railroad. Each pipe required considerable prep work including cutting the holes through the sheet pile walls to allow the micro-tunneling machine to pass.
Upstream and downstream connections were also built. These included a large buried concrete transition structure south of Garfield Ave. where water from the creek and the 22nd St./Kaufmann Ave. storm sewer system comes together before entering the newly installed pipes. Downstream, a structure was built to transition water from the pipes into the creek as well as a pumping station and gate to control the water level of the upstream creek and storm sewer.
This project took 2.5 years to construct.

Operators $( ) @( ) :: &
( ) Grouping Expression operator.
Parenthesis/Brackets work just as they do in mathematics, each pair will determine the order of evaluation and return the result of the expression within.
PS C:\> (2 + 3) * 5
A shortcut syntax is available (…).property that returns a single property from an item or a collection (PowerShell V3.0):
PS C:\> (dir).FullName
To return multiple properties, pipe to ForEach-Object (%) or Select-Object
Simple Parenthesis will also evaluate variable assignments - displaying the value(s).
for example:
$msg = "Hello World"
"$msg"
can be rewritten as:
($msg = "Hello World")
$( ) SubExpression operator.
Use a subexpression to return specific properties of an object.
Unlike simple parenthesis, a subexpression can contain multiple ; semicolon ; separated ; statements.
The output of each statement contributes to the output of the subexpression. For a single result, it will return a scalar. For multiple results, it will return an array.
Subexpressions allow you to evaluate and act on the results of an expression in a single line; with no need for an intermediate variable:
if($(code that returns a value/object) -eq "somevalue") { do_something }
PS C:\> $city="Copenhagen"
PS C:\> $strLength = "$($city.length)"
#n.b. not "$city.length" that would return "Copenhagen.Length"
PS C:\> "The result of 2 + 3 = $(2+3)"
PS C:\> $(Get-WMIObject win32_Directory)
@( ) Array SubExpression operator.
An array subexpression behaves just like a subexpression except that it guarantees that the output will be an array.
This works even if there is no output at all (gives an empy array.)
If the result is a scalar value then the result will be a single element array containg the scalar value.
(If the output is already an array then the use of an array subexpression will have no effect, it won't wrap one array inside of another array.)
PS C:\> @(Get-WMIObject win32_logicalDisk)
Using either $( ) or @( )will cause the powershell parser to re-evaluate the parsing mode based on the first non-whitespace character inside the parenthesis. A neat effect of this is that object properties will be evaluated instead of being treated as literal strings:
"$user.department" ==> JDOE.department
"$($user.department)" ==> "Human Resources"
:: Static member operator
Call the static properties operator and methods of a .NET Framework class.
To find the static properties and methods of an object, use the -Static parameter of Get-Member:
[datetime] | gm -static
[datetime]::now
[datetime]::Utcnow
, Comma operator
As a binary operator, the comma creates an array.
As a unary operator, the comma creates an array with one member. Place the comma before the member.
& Call operator
Run a command, script, or script block. The call operator, also known as the "invocation operator," lets you run commands that are stored in variables and represented by strings. Because the call operator does not parse the command, it cannot interpret command parameters.
C:\PS> $c = "get-executionpolicy"
C:\PS> $c
get-executionpolicy
C:\PS> & $c
AllSigned
. Dot sourcing operator
Run a script in the current scope so that any functions, aliases, and variables that the script creates are added to the current scope. (without dot sourcing, the variables created within a script will all disappear when the script finishes.)
. C:\sample1.ps1
. .\sample2.ps1
Note: The dot sourcing operator is followed by a space. Use the space to distinguish the dot from the dot (.) symbol that represents the current directory.
-f Format operator
Format a string expression.
Place {0} {1} etc. into the string as placemarkers where you want the variables to appear, immediately follow the string with the -f operator and then lastly, the list of comma separated variables which will be used to populate the placemarkers.
Get-ChildItem c:\ | ForEach-Object {'File {0} Created {1}' -f $_.fullname,$_.creationtime}
Optional format string(s) can be included to add padding/alignment and display dates/times/percentages/hex etc correctly, see the -f format page for full details.
..Range operator
Produce a sequence of numbers:
10..20
5..25

text: Electronic nose technology offers non-destructive alternative to sense aroma, can be used to assess fruit ripening stage during shelf life. The objective of this study was to monitor tomato storage shelf life during two storage treatments using PEN 2 electronic nose (E-nose). Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to distinguish the different tomato storage time. The obtained results proved that tomato with different storage time can be monitored by the E-nose, but very clear separation among all groups of different storage time was not achieved. By PCA and LDA, E-nose could more clearly discrimination storage time of tomato in carton box than one in folded bag. The correlations between the measured and predicted values of fruit quality attribute (soluble solids content, pH, and puncture force) showed poor prediction performance on the base of signals of E-nose sensors.

Satyendra Rana | Tuesday 11 September 2018
Greentech Knowledge Solutions Private Limited (GKSPL) and Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB) have jointly conducted several workshops on "Design, construction and operation of a Zigzag Kiln" across different districts of Bihar during 2018-19. During the workshops, we have observed that there are many fundamental misconceptions prevalent among kiln owners and masons regarding construction and operation of a Zigzag kiln. Here we have tried to clear up the most widespread misconceptions in a very clear manner with short explanations.
It must be clear in everybody's mind that "Zigzag kiln" is NOT a completely new design of brick kiln and it is similar in many ways to the traditional "oval shape" Bull's trench brick kiln. Zigzag kiln is just an "improved version" of the traditional kiln. The main difference between oval-shape Bull's trench kiln and Zigzag kiln is the brick-setting pattern and hence, the fuel feeding/firing method. Applying the improved brick-layout design in a Zigzag kiln, air/hot-gases are provided more time to exchange heat with bricks which is the main reason for its better performance compared to a conventional kiln.
Yes, it is RECOMMENDED for a Zigzag kiln to have a rectangular shape to properly employ improved brick-setting pattern and thus to obtain better performance compared to traditional kiln.
Zigzag kiln refers to a kiln in which air/hot-gases does NOT flow "mostly" in a straight line (unlike in traditional oval-shape kiln) along the length of trench. Zigzag kilns can be of two types:
Chimney type is SAME for both natural-draught and high-draught Zigzag kilns. The cross-section of chimney can be either circular or square in both types of Zigzag kilns. For a given daily production capacity and brick-setting design, chimney internal diameter and height changes according to the type of Zigzag kiln.
It is absolutely WRONG to say that a new type of chimney called "Zigzag chimney" is essential to run any Zigzag kiln. If for a given daily production capacity and brick-setting design, the required internal width, height and quality is met by the existing chimney, then the same chimney can be used to operate the Zigzag kiln.
It is NOT necessary for a chimney to have square cross-section to operate any Zigzag kiln. The cross-section of chimney can be either circular or square in both the types of Zigzag kilns.
There is NO demand from state pollution control board to compulsorily install chimney having square cross-section to operate a Zigzag kiln. Both circular and square cross-sectional chimney are permitted to run any Zigzag kiln.
Central or state pollution control board ONLY specifies the "minimum height" of chimney as per the type of Zigzag kiln. If the existing, new or retrofitted chimney is meeting the required minimum height criteria for a given Zigzag kiln type, pollution control board will allow it to operate. According to draft notification published on March 16, 2018 by "Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change", the minimum height requirements for Zigzag kiln are as follows:
Since in an induced-draught or high-draught kiln the required draught is created artificially with the help of fan, ANY type of brick setting viz. single, double or triple Zigzag can be employed satisfactorily.
If the chimney is meeting the "minimum height criteria" set by central or state pollution control board and the chimney's internal width and height is meeting the design criteria for the required daily production capacity, it is NOT compulsory to increase the height of chimney.
Brick-setting design in a Zigzag kiln is NOT VERY different from the setting employed in conventional oval-shape Bull's trench kiln. The basic pattern of stacking bricks in "rows" along the width of trench with each row containing several "brick columns" is same in both traditional and improved kilns. To increase the time required for heat exchange between bricks and hot-gases/air, some rows in Zigzag kilns are made differently (like a wall) to allow air/hot gases to flow past them only through few spaces left in the wall. (For more details, refer Knowledge briefs a). How is setting of bricks done in a natural-draught kiln, b). How is setting of bricks done in an induced-draught Zigzag kiln).
Yes, it is COMPULSORY to install platform and ladder on the chimney as per the criteria set by central/state pollution control board to facilitate the kiln's emission measurements. (For more details, refer Knowledge brief – What are the good practices for the construction of masonry chimney of a Zigzag kiln?).

The Rosa Porrino is a pink coloured granite from Spain that is a reference granite all over the world. The Rosa Porrino has set the standards for pink coloured granites and opened a large market for this type of granites. Today, there are similar granites from different origins being commercialized all over the world, but the Rosa Porrino will still remain a pioneer for this type of granite.
Due to its fame and international recognition, this granite has taken several different names according to each supplier, market, project, etc. We present below some of these alternative names that identify the Spanish Rosa Porrino:
- Rosa Porrinho: the Portuguese name for the Rosa Porrino granite. There is a variation of the Rosa Porrino being extracted in Portugal.
- Porrino Pink: the English name for the Rosa Porrino granite, it is common to use this name on English speaking countries.
- Spanish Pink granite: a generalist name to describe the Rosa Porrino granite. If we talk about Spanish pink granite, we normally refers to its main reference: the Rosa Porrino
- Porrino granite: simply known as Porrino granite. Porrino is the town nearby where the Rosa Porrino granite quarries are located.

Paul Ysart never made editions. Each paperweight was individual in respect of the canes and lampwork although the same overall pattern was used many times.
There were catalogue names for the 1970s items (Harland / Paul Ysart Paper Weights & Highland Paper Weights). However, the only details I know of are those shown in the Ysart Glass book as reproductions of a 1975 catalogue. This showed that the names were basic and essentially described the design as seen, such as:
- "Dark Butterfly" for one like yours, with a spaced garland of canes around a lampwork butterfly set on a plain dark blue ground.
- "Flower Latticnio" which was similar to yours but had an alternating colour and white twist setup rather than two forms fo white twists.
- "Heart", for the basic heart pattern weight just like yours.
At first sight, some folk might say the Heart wieght in the catalogue is exactly the same as yours, including the canes. But yours has fourteen canes making up the heart, whereas the catalogue image shows one with eighteen canes and these are of a different structure and colour to yours. It was that sort of difference that made Paul Ysart weights individual.
What are the sizes of the weights (diameter and height)? Generally, a 3inch diameter weight will have a higher value than, say, a 2 5/8 inch or a 2 3/4 inch one. But some designs (like a flower or butterfly in stave basket) will often have a higher market value than a more basic pattern, even if it is a slightly smaller weight.
Simone may well be right about the general market price, but personally I would be happy to pay more for a "flower latticinio" than a "heart" or "dark butterfly" weight


global
And remove it with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY --global --delete
You can set a key at the local level with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY VALUE --local
And remove it with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY --local --delete
You cannot set or delete environment-level config keys with the CLI.
Configuration set at either the global or local level will affect subsequent invocations of librarian-puppet. Configurations set at the environment level are not saved and will not affect subsequent invocations of librarian-puppet.
You can pass a config at the environment level by taking the original config key and transforming it: replace hyphens (-) with underscores (_) and periods (.) with doubled underscores (__), uppercase, and finally prefix with LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_. For example, to pass a config in the environment for the key part-one.part-two, set the environment variable LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_PART_ONE__PART_TWO.
Configuration affects how various commands operate.
 - The path config sets the directory to install to. If a relative path, it is relative to the directory containing the Puppetfile. The equivalent environment variable is LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_PATH.
 - The tmp config sets the cache directory for librarian. If a relative path, it is relative to the directory containing the Puppetfile. The equivalent environment variable is LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_TMP.
Configuration can be set by passing specific options to other commands.
 - The path config can be set at the local level by passing the --path option to the install command. It can be unset at the local level by passing the --no-path option to the install command. Note that if this is set at the environment or global level then, even if --no-path is given as an option, the environment or global config will be used.
Rsync Option
The default convergence strategy between the cache and the module directory is to execute an rm -r on the module directory and just cp -r from the cache. This causes the module to be removed from the module path every time librarian puppet updates, regardless of whether the content has changed. This can cause some problems in environments with lots of change. The problem arises when the module directory gets removed while Puppet is trying to read files inside it. The puppet master process will lose its CWD and the catalog will fail to compile. To avoid this, you can use rsync to implement a more conservative convergence strategy. This will use rsync with the -avz and --delete flags instead of a rm -r and cp -r. To use this feature, just set the rsync configuration setting to true.
$ librarian-puppet config rsync true --global
Alternatively, using an environment variable:
LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_RSYNC='true'
Note that the directories will still be purged if you run librarian-puppet with the --clean or --destructive flags.
How to Contribute
 - Pull requests please.
 - Bonus points for feature branches.
Reporting Issues
Bug reports to the github issue tracker please. Please include:
 - Relevant Puppetfile and Puppetfile.lock files
 - Version of ruby, librarian-puppet, and puppet

Aurin names - Wildstar
This name generator will give you 10 random names for the Aurin part of the Wildstar universe.
The Aurin are a race of humanoid beings with large rabbit ears and feline features like claws and long tails. They live in the forests and as such have developed a wide range of fur and skin colors, although they're no longer as diverse as they once were back in the distant past.
Aurin first names are often soft and quite melodic, but like their forests their names also have various harsher elements.
Surnames are compound names made up of 2 words which are often related to nature in some way. Names like 'Sungrass' and 'Redleaf' for example.

Android Applications
See the basic setup steps below to get started with the Logify Alert service:
Generate an API Key
The Logify Alert service uses unique identifiers – API keys – to register and monitor individual applications. You will use this key later when creating an instance of Logify Alert client in code.
 1. Log in to the Logify Alert website: logify.devexpress.com.
 2. Switch to the Applications tab and click Create New Application.
 3. Specify the application name and description, then click Create.
 4. The Applications tab will now display a new entry with an auto-generated API key.
Send Reports to Logify Alert
This section explains how to make your Android application send unhandled exceptions to the Logify Alert service.
Add the Logify Alert Client to Your Project
In your application module's build.gradle file, do the following:
 1. In the dependencies section, declare the logify-alert-android library dependency:
 compile "com.devexpress.logify:logify-alert-android:1.0.2"
 2. In the repositories section, declare the Logify Alert's maven repository:
 maven {
 url "_URL_
 }

 3. In the defaultConfig section, ensure that minSdkVersion is set to a value from 17 to 28.
In the pom.xml file, do the following:
 1. In the dependencies section, declare the logify-alert-android library dependency:
 <dependency>
 <groupId>com.devexpress.logify</groupId>
 <artifactId>logify-alert-android</artifactId>
 <version>1.0.2</version>
 </dependency>
 2. In the repositories section, declare the Logify Alert's maven repository:
 <repository>
 <id>any-name-or-id</id>
 <url>_URL_ </url>
 </repository>

 3. In the defaultConfig section, ensure that minSdkVersion is set to a value from 17 to 28.
Synchronize your project.
Send Reports Automatically
Initialize and configure the Logify Alert client in the onCreate method of your application's main activity to automatically intercept all unhandled exceptions and send the corresponding crash reports to Logify Alert:
import com.devexpress.logify.alert.android.LogifyAlert;
 public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 // Initialize the Logify Alert client.
 LogifyAlert client = LogifyAlert.getInstance();

 // Specify an API Key to register your application in the Logify Alert service.
 client.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
 // Optional but recommended.
 // Pass your application context to the Logify Alert client
 // to include application environment information in crash reports.
 client.setContext(this.getApplicationContext());
 // Report unhandled exceptions to Logify Alert.
 client.startExceptionsHandling();
 }
}
Alternatively, you can specify an API Key in the logify.properties file (Logify Alert reads this file if you pass your application context to the client using the setContext method):
apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
Send Reports Manually
Use the following code to catch exceptions and send reports manually.
import com.devexpress.logify.alert.android.LogifyAlert;
try {
 // Some code
}
catch (Throwable ex){
 LogifyAlert client = LogifyAlert.getInstance();
 client.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
 client.send(e);
}
Rebuild and Run Your Application
Once your updated application has been redeployed, log in to logify.devexpress.com to review and process incoming reports.

Weeding is a common theme in library literature. But, while librarians often use circulation statistics or other data as general guidelines for weeding print collections, few consider the value of actively engaging affected populations during the weeding lifecycle, particularly in the early stages of selecting material for retention. This paper describes a collaborative project between librarians and non-library faculty and staff to identify and retain the materials that would establish a core library collection, increase collection and resource accessibility, and aid in a library's transformation into a more student-centered space. The paper concludes with an overview of outcomes and describes how the weeding project contributed to the library's ablity to function within a more contemporary framework of service while also shifting expectations of the library's role within the greater university.

API Latency Benchmark
Learn about Reltio's baseline API performance and the key factors that affect it.
Overview
The Reltio platform powers complex implementations. As you plan your implementation, it's important to predict the impact of your implementation on performance. This article helps you predict performance by providing:
 - Baseline latency for the seven API types mentioned in Table 1.
 - Factors that affect latency for each API type.
Attention: The performance benchmarks presented are a guide not a guarantee. Several factors, such as the cloud nature of the service, can have an impact on the performance.
Baseline API Latency and Parameters
We calculate the latency API types with the following assumptions:
 - The tenant doesn't use Lifecycle Actions (LCA)
 - The tenant uses the simple address cleanser
 - GET requests don't use ordering and scoring
 - GET requests don't contain queries to the data history storage
 - Transitive matching isn't enabled (the deep parameter is set to 1 in the Get transitive matches )
 - POST requests have the URI only parameter set to true
The following table summarizes the baseline (average) latency you can expect:
Table 1. Latency Details
API CallDescriptionBaseline Latency, ms
POST Entities API Latency (POST /entities)Load data into tenant130
GET Entities API Latency (GET /entities)Get entities using a filter47
GET Entity ID API Latency ((GET /entity/{id}))Find entity by ID51

GET Entities Tree API Latency (GET /entity/{id}_tree)Discover tree260
GET Entities Hops API Latency (GET /entity/{id}_hops)Get Hops85
POST Entities Connections API Latency (POST /entities{id}/_connections)Find Connections227
We calculated the latency based on the following baseline parameters. Changes in these parameters will change the API latency.

The Red Scarf lotus is a tea cup lotus plant that is very smaller in size compared to the typical hardy lotus plant. This plant has hardy zones of four or higher or less than four with winter protections. The plant has crimson blooms that are reddish pink in color with white centers. Its petals are narrow and located next to the pod giving it a unique look. The flowers open in the mid morning and close in the mid afternoon. Individual flowers can last for three days before their petals can fall.
Newly planted Red Scarf lotus do not always flower during their first year. Full flowering can occur during the early summer season with sunny and warm conditions. The plant can grow up to six inches across, with its leaves growing to ten to twelve inches wide. The Red Scarf lotus plant as a free flowering plant, also produces blooms during its first seasons. It has round bluish green leaves that float on waters. It can grow up to three to four feet tall. This plant can establish well in medium to large ponds.
The unique Red Scarf lotus can performs well when planted in a small to medium sized pond..It can do well in a container since it can be well establish with or without a pond. The plant can be planted in a huge container with a capacity of at least two gallons container. It can do well when planted in a no-hole container. It is considered a true bowl lotus as it can do so well in containers.
The Red Scarf lotus plant can look great in garden beds due to its cupped shaped blossoms in addition to the uniqueness in the flower colors. It is a hardy plant which can tolerate sunny and warm conditions. However, for the plant to establish well, it requires full sun. This type of plant, when planted in a container, can fail to establish if the soil in the container is not well drained. It is important to note that this plant can fail to re-grow if it is placed in cold water as it can return into dormant state.


The cars on U.S. roads are older than they've ever been.
A recent survey found that the average age of U.S. vehicles is now at a record high of 11.5 years.
That means the average passenger car on the road today was built for the 2004 model year--and that there's a long tail of cars stretching well back into the 1990s around you in daily traffic.
DON'T MISS: Gas Prices Matter To U.S. Households, But Only Somewhat
The statistic comes from research firm IHS Automotive, which supplied a few reasons for increased average car age, according to The Car Connection.
One reason is that cars built over the last decade or so are better made than ones made 20 or 30 years ago--a response to consistent consumer calls for increased reliability.
Greater electric-car adoption could accelerate this trend even further because: Without combustion engines, electric cars have far fewer parts that can break or wear out.
2004 Honda Civic Coupe
2004 Honda Civic Coupe
Of course, the resilience of cars doesn't matter if people don't continue driving them.
The data indicate people are using their older cars more, and a lower rate of crashes means fewer cars are taken off the road due to damage.
And while new-car purchases are on the rise, many recent buyers likely haven't bought a new car in a long time.
ALSO SEE: U.S.P.S. 'Long Life' Vehicles Last 25 Years, But Age Shows Now
Buyers now keep new cars for an average 77.8 months--26 months longer than they did in 2006.
Used-car buyers keep their purchases an average 63 months, a 25-month increase.
This may still be due to the aftereffects of the Great Recession, which severely depressed car sales and caused the average age of cars to spike.
2004 Nissan Sentra
2004 Nissan Sentra
While showroom traffic is still strong and sales are at 10-year highs, IHS believes the average age of cars on U.S. roads will continue to increase, albeit more slowly.
It predicts the volume of vehicles aged zero to five years will increase 24 percent over the next five years, and the volume of sixto 11-year-old vehicles will decline by 11 percent.
MORE: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Average Vehicle Now 11.4 Years Old, Oldest Since WW2 (Aug 2013)
But the volume of cars aged 12 years or more will increase 15 percent by 2020, researchers say.
The average age of vehicles is expected to reach 11.6 years in 2016, and 11.7 years in 2018.
When those cars do get replaced, though, increasingly-strict efficiency standards mean it will almost certainly be with something that uses less fuel.

Whose bones are these?
For today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer's Write Better Poetry blog, write a question poem. There are a few different ways to come at this one. First, make the title of your poem a question and use the poem to answer it. Or make the title the answer and the poem the question. Or end your poem on a question.
Whose bones are these—
delicate as toothpicks
in last year's leaves?
Did anyone mourn this death
from natural causes—
probably violent?
Is there a motherless
pup, cub or kit
wandering these woods?
I feel the urge to dig
a small grave— the futile
gesture of a primate
who spends too much time
walking in cemeteries.

 write about these bones in a shallow grave, just so we can see there was a soul, when they unearth these remains-in your words, perhaps they will know that someone cared, enough to celebrate, the sacredness of life – that just came to mind and it appears that what was done, by nature, as was intended. Thank you for honoring this life.

Here's Why Coke Had Different Taste Around the Globe
Dec 30, 2020 12:20 AM EST | By Josh Summers (
Here's Why Coke have a Different taste Around the World
(Photo : Justin Sullivan)
An aerial drone view of a Coca-Cola billboard in the South of Market Area on October 26, 2020 in San Francisco, California. A Coca-Cola billboard that has been park of San Francisco's South of Market landscape since 1937 is slated to be taken down by the Coca-Cola company. The removal will cost an estimated $100,000.
Whenever people get thirsty, drinking a bottle of cola, like Coke, can help you soothe that feeling. Typically, it has the same taste, but have you ever wondered how it tastes in other countries around the world?
According to Small Business, the Coca-Cola Company produces syrup concentrate then sells them to bottlers around the globe who can manufacture and distribute the finished products to different vending partners and consumers.
You might think that it might taste the same because technically, Coke is owned by one company worldwide. But according to Mashed, the beverage may taste different in other countries. It even mentioned a discussion that weighs if Mexican Coke tastes better than the Coke in the United States.
Easy Co2 also says that Coke from around the world does not have the same taste.

Different taste of Coke from Around the world
Coke tastes different from around the world because of certain factors that affect the product itself.
Mashed mentions that one notable difference between the Coke from the United States and other parts of the world is the sugar added to the drink. Easy Co2 adds that the companies who own franchises can decide their water level, carbonation, and sweeteners mixed with the Coke concentrate.
Easy Co2 furthers that companies can also decide whether to use less concentrate, sugar, and carbonation. In this way, the beverage could be adjusted to the region's palate or taste.
Thus, even a global brand could adjust its product's taste based on its location. For example, when McDonald's China releases their Spam and Oreo burger, which leads some people shock and awe.
Another factor that makes Coke's taste a little bit distinct from each other is the sugar that is used. Mashed mentions that Mexican Coke utilizes cane sugar, while American Coke uses high fructose corn syrup.
Easy Co2 explains that this is done because sugar has a higher price in the United States. That is why only the US is the country that uses this kind of sweetener for its famous beverage.
Coca-Cola explains on its website that the same fizzy drink can have a slight difference in the taste. Coca-Cola Middle East issues the same statement and says that this can happen because of the difference in the temperature where the product is consumed, the foods partnered, and the storage's condition, where the beverage is situated before consuming.
Even though the taste is likely different from each one, fizzy drinks like Coke shall be taken in moderation because it still has sweeteners added to satisfy people's taste and palate.

Transcript:Teaching Kids to Put on CoatsHi I'm Kathy Moore for About.com Parenting. Whether it's dressing to ward off winters chill, or wearing a light jacket in spring or fall, even toddlers can learn how to put on their own jacket. This program will demonstrate a simple method to teach your child to put on his own coat.
When Are Kids Ready to Put on Coats?As soon as kids can walk and stand steadily on their own, they can be taught to put on their own outer coat using this simple method.
Easy Steps to Put on CoatsPlace the coat on the floor. Lay it flat with the inside facing up. Instruct your child to stand facing the top or collar of the coat. Then have them bend over and place their arms in the sleeves like this. Once the child has his arms in the sleeves have him lift the whole coat up and over his head. Then when he brings his arms down he will have completed the task of putting on his own coat.
Watch the simple steps again:
- Place the coat on the floor
- Lay it flat with the inside facing up
- Stand facing the top or collar of the coat
- Bend over and place the arms in the sleeves
- Then lift the whole coat up and overhead
- When the arms come down you are all set

Serve ECW Imagery with ArcGIS Server
ECW for ArcGIS Server is an extension for ArcGIS that provides compatibility with the enahanced compression wavelet (ECW) image-compression format, enabling you to serve ECW imagery from ArcGIS Server 9.3, 9.3.1,10, and 10.1 through Esri-supported service interfaces.
Users worldwide rely on ECW technology to save time during imagery processing and transfer, and reduce the hardware requirements for their geospatial workflows. It enables you to compress bulky imagery files into manageable sizes while preserving the visual quality of the images. It includes multi-resolution level of detail within the file, eliminating the need to generate or distribute tile caches, pyramids, or overviews. ECW also supports opacity channels, allowing images to overlay other imagery cleanly without showing compression artifacts around the edges.
Deliver ECW Imagery from ArcGIS Server
Now, for the first time, ArcGIS Server users can deliver ECW imagery, providing their end users with the fastest image decompression available. ECW is already supported in traditional desktop GIS, CAD, and remote sensing packages such as ArcGIS®, AutoCAD®, ERDAS IMAGINE®, ERDAS ER Mapper, FalconView™, Bentley Microstation®, ENVI®, and PCI Geomatica®.
Accelerate Your Geospatial Workflow
With ECW support, ArcGIS Server users can leverage compression technology capable of quickly decompressing and opening massive files, in many cases faster than uncompressed imagery can be opened. This powerful extension enables ArcGIS Server to leverage the significant format advantages for high-performance image serving in an Esri environment.


Three ways to use text blocks in App Cloud
With App Cloud text blocks, you can store arbitrary blocks of text in the cloud and retrieve them for any purpose you desire. Now you can bypass your CMS (and your IT department!) when you need to manage certain types of lightweight data in your apps.
To create a text block, go to the Content section of App Cloud Studio, then click "New Content Source", then click "Text Content":
Then enter a name and some text. That's it! Whenever you want to change the text, just click "Edit" and App Cloud will save a new version. (You can revert to an old version at any time.)
At the code layer, you can request a text block with bc.core.getData(), just like a content feed:
bc.core.getData("my-text", function (data) {
 var myText = data.text;
 // do stuff
});
Here are three ways to use text blocks inside your app:

1. HTML text
Use a text block as a flexible messaging area:
Then insert the text into DOM using jQuery or the method of your choice:
bc.core.getData("welcome-message", function (data) {
 $("#welcome-message").html(data.text);
});

2. JSON text
Use a text block to store structured data in JSON format:
When you load the text, make sure to parse it using JSON.parse():
bc.core.getData("produce", function (data) {
 var produce = JSON.parse(data.text);
 ...
});

3. CSV text
Store a table of information as CSV:
After you load the data, split the lines, then split each line on the comma characters:
bc.core.getData("directory", function (data) {
 var people = [];
 var rows = data.text.trim().split("\n");
 for (var i in rows) {
 var row = rows[i].split(",");
 people.push({
 "firstName": row[0],
 "lastName": row[1],
 "phone": row[2],
 "title": row[3],
 "email": row[4]
 });
 }
});
These are just a few ways to use text blocks. As you can see, you can save any kind of text format you want—it's flexible by design!

The iBobber is a smart fishing tool that uses sonar to catch the fishes. After combining 19th and 21st century technology, iBobber has introduced an interesting twist of sonar and app connectivity to fishing.
What we need to do to catch a fish is just attach the bobber to the fishing line and it will detect where the fishes in water are and how deep the water is. It will communicate this information via Bluetooth to a Smartphone, which will allow you to adjust the casting and the depth resulting in increasing the chances of getting a bite.
Obviously, the sonar would not reach the Mariana Trench but it can detect the depth up to 135 feet and has a sonar angle of 42-degrees, means the detection diameter gets wide toward the bottom of the well over 20 feet.
It can also detect the height of a fish based on the scale size.
It also has an additional feature for those who love fishing; the iBobber will inform you about the temperature and also includes a lunar calendar which will help you to know the ideal fishing timing and locations. The iBobber app for iOS and android are available for free on play store.
The iBobber will notify you when the fish is caught in the hook.
The iBobber costs for $100.
The iBobber consists:-
