Sorting
Sorting is a function that you can push to the server to increase the performance of the Kendo UI Grid wrapper for Vue.
To enable the sorting functionality of the native Vue Grid by Kendo UI, refer to the native Vue Grid by Kendo UI documentation.
To implement sorting, use the DataSource component and set the serverSorting option on the dataSource instance to true. If you delegate the sorting to the server, you will receive the default orderBy parameter. The orderBy field contains the field name of the column in the dataset by which the data is sorted.
By default, the sorting of Kendo UI Data Grid wrapper for Vue data is disabled. The Grid supports the following sorting formats:
 - Single-column sorting—To enable it, set the sortable option of the Grid to true.
 - Multi-column sorting—To enable it, set the mode option to multiple.
The following example demonstrates how to implement a Grid with its multiple-column sorting enabled.

How to use the Tank Winding Machine correctly?
Views:9 Author:Site Editor Publish Time: 2019-07-14 Origin:Site
The tank winding machine is a high-tech composite pipe product with independent intellectual property rights, world leading level, green environmental protection, energy saving and consumption reduction. The can winder is mainly used as a buried drainage pipe, which integrates the rigidity of the steel strip and the corrosion resistance of the polyethylene, low frictional resistance and wear resistance. As the main product of our company, the tank winding machine is sold well at home and abroad, and has been widely used in key projects such as municipal engineering and sewage treatment plants. So do you really understand the HDPE spiral tanks machine? The following article gives you a brief introduction to the correct use of the can winder, its use, and so on. I hope to help you better understand the tank winding machine.
The main points are as follows:
- What is the HDPE spiral tanks machine
- How to use the fuel tank winding machine correctly
- Use of the machine
- In conclusion
What is the tank winding machine
A tank winding machine is a machine that winds a linear object onto a specific workpiece. It is a new type of machine that has been developed in recent years. In order to meet the requirements of high efficiency and high output, fully automatic models generally adopt multi-head linkage design. Most domestic manufacturers refer to imported models from Taiwan and other places. The design uses a programmable controller as the control core of the device, and cooperates with the robot, pneumatic control components and execution accessories to complete the functions of automatic cable arranging, automatic tangling, automatic thread trimming, automatic loading and unloading of the skeleton, etc. Extremely high, greatly reducing the dependence on labor, an operating staff can look after several such equipment at the same time, the production quality is relatively stable, very suitable for processing applications with high production requirements.
How to control the fuel tank winding machine
The tank winding machine not only has precise mechanical components, but also a powerful electrical control system, which integrates electrical control, sensing technology, mechanical transmission, pneumatic devices and other components. The debugging method is more complicated and finer than other electrical processing equipment. More, the following is a brief introduction to the commissioning of the can winding machine, I hope to help everyone.
① Setting of winding position
What is the winding position? Simply speaking, it is the starting point of the winding on the skeleton. This position is closely related to the coil's head and coil type. It can usually be measured by the measuring function of the equipment control system. The specific value of the position; the operator can also measure manually, using the fixed point as the reference point to actually measure with the ruler, and pay attention to the winding direction of the coil when setting this point.
② The enameled wire specification setting
Our common enameled wire has different wire diameters. The correct setting of the enameled wire line will directly affect the effect of the wire. The enameled wire with different materials needs to be added with different wire diameter correction values. The copper wire is not easy to be thinned, and the correction value is added. The aluminum wire of about 0.02 is easily stretched after passing through the tension of the winding device and the wire passing device, and the correction value is larger than 0.02-0.2.
③ The setting of the winding width
The definition of the winding width is the distance from the position where the winding starts to the end position of the winding. Usually, this value directly reflects the length of the winding that the skeleton needs to be wound. When setting, it is necessary to consider the small deformation amount of the skeleton to be used. The effect of the comprehensive measurement method should be taken as the winding width.
Use of the machine
① Widely used in glass products, hardware tools, electronics, electrical appliances, paper, ceramics, chemicals, food, beverages, building materials, etc., HDPE / PP spiral wound cans for palletized goods (eg: using F bulk goods) Container shipping and packaging with bulk pallets can increase logistics efficiency and reduce losses during shipping. It has the advantages of dust, moisture and low packaging costs.
② Suitable for sealed packaging of F-shaped cylindrical products. Suitable for HDPE / PP spiral wound cans in paper, cord fabric, non-woven fabrics and other industries. The rotary table rotates to drive the cylindrical whole rotating goods, and the two power idlers on the turntable drive the white rotation of the cylindrical articles, thereby realizing the winding machine for fully enclosed winding and packaging goods, which can improve the logistics efficiency and reduce the loading process. loss. It has good dust and moisturizing effects.
③ HDPE spiral can machine for paper making, cord fabric, non-woven fabric and other industries, which drives the white rotation of the drum-shaped article through two power idlers on the turntable, and then realizes the winding machine to be wrapped with a radial cylindrical surface. It is suitable for spirally wrapping the circular surface of the drum-like object. It can improve the efficiency of logistics, reduce the loss during the loading process, and has the advantages of dustproof, moisture-proof and low packaging cost.
④ The plastic winding, aluminum profile, sheet, pipe, dyeing and textile industry, the can winder, refers to the rotation of the goods moving evenly on the horizontal plane through the rotating arm system, while adjusting the expansion force of the package. The material is wrapped into a solid whole by a stretching mechanism, and a spiral regular packaging winder is formed on the surface of the object, which can improve packaging efficiency and reduce the loading process. It has the advantages of dust, moisture and low packaging costs.
The above is the role of the tank winding machine in various fields.
In addition, the market development prospects of tank winding machine are also favored by all walks of life. As packaging machinery manufacturers increasingly focus on developing fast, low-cost packaging equipment, equipment is small, flexible, versatile, and efficient. The HDPE spiral tanks machine market is receiving more and more attention in actual production. This trend also includes saving time and reducing costs. Therefore, the packaging industry is pursuing simple and mobile packaging equipment. Our company's tank winding machines and other programs are widely used for automated operation. If you need a suitable tank winder, please consider us.

MirOS Manual: Class::ISA(3p)
Class::ISA(3p) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Class::ISA(3p)
NAME
 Class::ISA -- report the search path for a class's ISA tree
SYNOPSIS
 # Suppose you go: use Food::Fishstick, and that uses and
 # inherits from other things, which in turn use and inherit
 # from other things. And suppose, for sake of brevity of
 # example, that their ISA tree is the same as:
 @Food::Fishstick::ISA = qw(Food::Fish Life::Fungus Chemicals);
 @Food::Fish::ISA = qw(Food);
 @Food::ISA = qw(Matter);
 @Life::Fungus::ISA = qw(Life);
 @Chemicals::ISA = qw(Matter);
 @Life::ISA = qw(Matter);
 @Matter::ISA = qw();
 use Class::ISA;
 print "Food::Fishstick path is:\n ",
 join(", ", Class::ISA::super_path('Food::Fishstick')),
 "\n";
 That prints:
 Food::Fishstick path is:
 Food::Fish, Food, Matter, Life::Fungus, Life, Chemicals
DESCRIPTION
 Suppose you have a class (like Food::Fish::Fishstick) that
 is derived, via its @ISA, from one or more superclasses (as
 Food::Fish::Fishstick is from Food::Fish, Life::Fungus, and
 Chemicals), and some of those superclasses may themselves
 each be derived, via its @ISA, from one or more superclasses
 (as above).
 When, then, you call a method in that class
 ($fishstick->calories), Perl first searches there for that
 method, but if it's not there, it goes searching in its
 superclasses, and so on, in a depth-first (or maybe
 "height-first" is the word) search. In the above example,
 it'd first look in Food::Fish, then Food, then Matter, then
 Life::Fungus, then Life, then Chemicals.
 This library, Class::ISA, provides functions that return
 that list -- the list (in order) of names of classes Perl
 would search to find a method, with no duplicates.
FUNCTIONS
 the function Class::ISA::super_path($CLASS)
 This returns the ordered list of names of classes that
 Perl would search thru in order to find a method, with
 no duplicates in the list. $CLASS is not included in the
perl v5.8.8 2005-02-05 1
Class::ISA(3p) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Class::ISA(3p)
 list. UNIVERSAL is not included -- if you need to con-
 sider it, add it to the end.
 the function Class::ISA::self_and_super_path($CLASS)
 Just like "super_path", except that $CLASS is included
 as the first element.
 the function Class::ISA::self_and_super_versions($CLASS)
 This returns a hash whose keys are $CLASS and its
 (super-)superclasses, and whose values are the contents
 of each class's $VERSION (or undef, for classes with no
 $VERSION).
 The code for self_and_super_versions is meant to serve
 as an example for precisely the kind of tasks I antici-
 pate that self_and_super_path and super_path will be
 used for. You are strongly advised to read the source
 for self_and_super_versions, and the comments there.
CAUTIONARY NOTES
 * Class::ISA doesn't export anything. You have to address
 the functions with a "Class::ISA::" on the front.
 * Contrary to its name, Class::ISA isn't a class; it's just
 a package. Strange, isn't it?
 * Say you have a loop in the ISA tree of the class you're
 calling one of the Class::ISA functions on: say that Food
 inherits from Matter, but Matter inherits from Food (for
 sake of argument). If Perl, while searching for a method,
 actually discovers this cyclicity, it will throw a fatal
 error. The functions in Class::ISA effectively ignore this
 cyclicity; the Class::ISA algorithm is "never go down the
 same path twice", and cyclicities are just a special case of
 that.
 * The Class::ISA functions just look at @ISAs. But theoret-
 ically, I suppose, AUTOLOADs could bypass Perl's ISA-based
 search mechanism and do whatever they please. That would be
 bad behavior, tho; and I try not to think about that.
 * If Perl can't find a method anywhere in the ISA tree, it
 then looks in the magical class UNIVERSAL. This is rarely
 relevant to the tasks that I expect Class::ISA functions to
 be put to, but if it matters to you, then instead of this:
 @supers = Class::Tree::super_path($class);
 do this:
 @supers = (Class::Tree::super_path($class), 'UNIVERSAL');
perl v5.8.8 2005-02-05 2
Class::ISA(3p) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Class::ISA(3p)
 And don't say no-one ever told ya!
 * When you call them, the Class::ISA functions look at @ISAs
 anew -- that is, there is no memoization, and so if ISAs
 change during runtime, you get the current ISA tree's path,
 not anything memoized. However, changing ISAs at runtime is
 probably a sign that you're out of your mind!

There is a universal law that whenever you write against incorrect usage of language, you will invariably make a usage faux pas of your own for everybody to see. For instance some people would regard the omission of a full stop/period at the end of a sentence to be a bad habit. (-; – hippietrail Nov 27 '11 at 10:42

It essentially means porque
x is widely recognized as the multiplication sign. To say it one says por.
x = Por
and q is the abbreviation of que. Being just a q there are no words I can think of that are monosyllables and that start with q. So it is safe to assume it is que.
q = que
xq = porque

"Porque" no lleva tilde. "¿Por qué...?" sí la lleva – belisarius Nov 25 '11 at 7:32
«xk» means the same as «xq», just as «k» means the same as «q» and both mean «que» (or «qué»). But «xD» has nothing to do with «por». Texting is hard. – Brian Nov 25 '11 at 8:22
xD resembles this smiley. – kodkod Nov 25 '11 at 10:46
Porqué lleva tilde cuando se utiliza la forma de la pregunta "por qué" en forma indirecta, como sustantivo. Son tres formas diferentes. Ejemplo: "Le preguntaron el porqué de su vestimenta inadecuada" – Leandro Jun 4 '12 at 23:04
In SMS/chat slang:
 - xq, xk, pq means "porque" or "por qué";
 - x means "por", because it looks like × (multiplication sign);
 - q or k means "que";
 - xf means "por fa(vor)"
 - qtl or ktl means "que tal";
 - qtpsa or ktpsa means "que te pasa";
 - = means "igual";
 - + means "mas" or "más";
 - - means "menos";
 - s means "es";
 - l means "el";
 - d means "de";
"+ o -"
"xk? ktpsa?"

What does a negative balance on my credit card account mean?
When you make a purchase on your credit card, your balance owing goes up and shows up as a positive balance on your statement.
However, a negative balance on your statement means that you have an additional amount credited to your account. You don't owe anything, and the negative balance will be applied towards your next purchase.
You may see a negative balance on your statement if:
 - you made a return on a purchase and received credit back
 - you paid more than your balance owing on your statement

New type of spooky slug found
Ghost slug
It might sound more like a creepy creature out of Harry Potter, but a new type of slimy slug has been found in gardens in Wales.
Most slugs you find in Britain are brown or black, have eyes, and eat plants.
But this one is all white, has no eyes, lives underground, and eats worms by sucking them in like spaghetti!
Scientists think they've found a new species, and have named it 'Selenochlamys ysbryda', or ghost slug.
The name partly comes from the Welsh word for ghost, ysbryd.
Similar slugs are found in the countries of Turkey and Georgia, where Europe meets Asia.
the blade-like teeth of a Ghost Slug
The slug's teeth are like blades
But experts say the creatures that were found in gardens in Cardiff and Caerphilly in south Wales are different.
They don't know where the ghost slugs came from, but think they may have been brought into Britain in plant pots.

Tropical Forest Insect Pests
A comprehensive resource providing a clear, theoretical understanding of pest population dynamics and forest insect outbreaks. Tropical Forest Insect Pests promotes a better theoretical understanding of pest population dynamics, and causes of forest insect outbreaks in the tropics. Covering pests of both natural forests and plantations, it examines the diversity of tropical forest insects, their ecological functions, the concept of pests, and the incidence of pests in natural forests, plantations, and stored timber. General issues on which foresters and forest entomologists hold strong traditional views, such as the severity of pest incidence in plantations vs. natural forests, in plantations of exotics vs. indigenous tree species, and in monocultures vs. mixed plantations are discussed. The final section looks in detail at specific insect pests of the common plantation tree species across the tropics, with recommendations for their control. This is a comprehensive resource suitable for graduate students and researchers in forestry and tropical forest entomology, and for forest plantation managers in the tropics.

- U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) announced today the Clemson University Physics and Astronomy Department has been awarded a research project worth $50,000 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Office of Space Science.
The experiment to be conducted at Clemson will support NASA's Living with a Star Space Environment Testbeds (LWS SET) program. The goal of the LWS SET is to improve the capability to accommodate or mitigate the effects of solar variability on spacecraft design and operations.
"South Carolina's universities are among the best in the nation," Graham said. "This is an example of the high-tech research that is conducted every day in South Carolina by our colleges."
Graham noted that of the proposals NASA received from various organizations to participate in this project, only six were selected throughout the country. Clemson was one of two universities chosen for the project.
The contract will have an option for an additional $200,000 if the findings from the first $50,000 successfully complete a peer review.

I looked at the example in the document here
As the example shows, we can obtain vertex marginals on all hierarchical
levels, i.e. a "vertex_pie_fractions" at each level for each node. However,
I want to find the node partition at each level for each node according to
the *largest* "vertex_pie_fraction". Therefore, I use the following code
# Hierarchical node partition as a list of np.array
bs = [np.array([np.argmax(list(pv[i])[j]) for j in range(len(list(pv[i])))])
for i in range(len(pv))]
where pv is exactly the one shown in the example.
I believe the above line of code is correct since I have checked the results
in several real networks with small sizes (around 200 nodes and 500 edges at
But it will take a quite a long time for a large network (30k nodes with
400k edges or more). Is there any efficient way to do the above work?

1) First of all, I have to construct the semi direct product "from H to Q", it is written has $H \lambda Q$ in my notes. I have $H = C_{17}, Q = C_2$.
So I did $Aut(C_{17}) = C_{16}$ and then you can see that 2 divides 16 and so you want to work out how many elements of order 2 there are in $C_{16}$. Doing $\varphi{16} = 2$ and so I have just 2 elements of order 2 in $C_{16}$ and so there are just 2 semi direct products. How do I know what these semi-direct products are? Am I right in assuming that one is the trivial semi direct product, i.e the direct product?
2) Another question, I have to say how many semi direct products there are from H to Q (same notation as before. I have
$H = C_{42}, Q = C_{3}$
So I then get $Aut(H) = C_6 \times C_2$. So from here, I can see that 3 doesn't divide 2 but divides 6 so I just look at that. I want the number of elements of order 3 in $C_6$. I get there are 3 elements of order 3. Assuming $C_6 = \{a,..., a^6\}$ then the elements of order 3 are $a^2, a^4$ and $a^6$. So from here I get there are three semi direct products for this question. My question is this though, lets assume I had something like $Aut(H) = C_6 \times C_3$, then how would I work this question out? As 3 divides 3 from the other $C_3$ so I can't just ignore it like in the question I had to do. What would I do here? I'm assuming I would have to work out the number of semi direct products in this, and then how would I combine the two?
EDIT: Oh hang on, I need to be able to work out the number of elements in a given order to be able to answer my second question don't I? Dang. Still can't do that :(

Is $\,\phi 16=2\,$ meant to be "the Euler function of 16 is two"? Because it is completely wrong: a cyclic group of finite order $\,n\,$ has exactly one (cyclic, of course) subgroup of any order $\,d\,$ dividing $\,n\,$, and thus a cyclic group of even order has one unique subgroup of order two and thus one unique element of order two...od you meant something else? – DonAntonio Jan 6 '13 at 21:56
Perhaps he means that there are two elements satisfying $x^2=1$, which do indeed give rise to the two semidirect products, one of which is a direct product? – Derek Holt Jan 6 '13 at 22:00
_USER_ Yeah it was, but I've kind of rushed it when I was typing and mixed everything up in my head, sorry. What I wrote on my paper was this: 2 divides 16 and so we want number of elements of order 2 in $C_{16}$. I.e $ord(a^k) = 2 = \frac{16}{(k, 16)}$. Re arranging this gives us $(k, 16) = 8$ and so we get two elements of order 2 in this semi direct product. The elements or order two that I get (just to show you I understand what I've done) are, if $C_{16} = \{a, a^2,..., a^{16} \}$, then the two elemnts are $a^8$ and $a^{16}$. I think thats correct. – Kaish Jan 6 '13 at 22:03
No _USER_, it still isn't correct: $\,a^8\,$ is the only element of order two, whereas $\,a^{16}=1\,$ has order 1. Of course, and as Derek commented, you seem to be interested in elements which fulfil $\,x^2=1\,$. – DonAntonio Jan 6 '13 at 22:08

You seem to be seeking semidirect products $\,C_{17}\rtimes C_2\,$, for which we must know the possible homomorphisms $\,C_2\to\operatorname{Aut}(C_{17})\cong C_{16}\,$. Since $\,C_{16}\,$ has one single element of order $\,2\,$ there is one unique non-trivial homomorphism as above, which gives the non-abelian group of order $\,34\,$, determined by the action $\,c\cdot a=:a^c=a^{-1}\,\,,\,\,C_2=\langle c\rangle\,\,,\,\,C_{17}=\langle a\rangle \,$. Thus, we can say that
$$C_{17}\rtimes C_2=\left\{(c^i,a^j)\in C_{17}\times C_2\;\;;\;\;0\leq i\leq 16\,\,,\,0\leq j\leq 1\right\}$$
under the operation
The other homomorphism is the trivial one, which gives us the direct product $\,C_{17}\times C_2\cong C_{34}=$the cyclic group of order $\,34\,$
As for your second question: $\,\operatorname{Aut}(C_{42})\cong C_2\times C_6,\,$ so how many homomorphisms $\,C_3\to C_2\times C_6\,$ can you find?...
share|cite|improve this answer
How do you get this non abelian group? Where does the $a^c = a6{-1}$ comes from? Also, how do you know under what operation this comes? For your question, like I said, there would be 3 semi direct products. $C_6$ has two elements of order 3, $a^2, a^4$ and one element of order 1, $a^6$. The element of order 1 gives the direct product. The other two semi direct products would be commuting ones as they have the same order. I don't know what they would be though. I don't know the method to show this. – Kaish Jan 6 '13 at 22:30
That was supposed to say, where does the $a^c = a^{-1}$ come from – Kaish Jan 6 '13 at 22:36
It is known that any non-trivial homom. as described in the answer gives a non-abelian semidirect product, but you can prove it directly...An even-order automorphism group of a cyclic group has only one automorphism of order two: the involution (or inversion) automorphism, taking any element to its inverse...I don't understand your question "how do you know under what operation this comes"...The continuation is fine, but the two non-trivial semidirect products are isomorphic, so you get only one (up to isomorphism) non-abelian group in this way, AND the abelian one from the trivial hom. – DonAntonio Jan 6 '13 at 22:39
That operation question was just, you wrote you get that semi direct product (SDP) under that operation. What does that basically mean? So with the other bit, there are two semi direct products, but one of them is non abelian, the other one is and the trivial homomorphism? Sorry, that bit didn't make much sense to me. Also, are they isomorphic as they both have the same order? – Kaish Jan 6 '13 at 22:46
_USER_, I can't make a complete exposition about semidirect products here. There are excellent books that deal with it, look it up. Just for a taste: $$(c^i,a^j)(c^k,a^r):=(c^{i+(-1)^jk},a^{j+r})$$ since the action is inversion: $$(c^k)^{a^j}=c^{(-1)^jk}$$ as $\,(c^j)^a=c^{-j}\,\,,\,(c^j)^{a^2=1}=c^j\,$ – DonAntonio Jan 6 '13 at 22:54
About your first question, you want to construct $$G=N\rtimes H$$ wherein $N=\Bbb Z_{17}=\langle n\rangle, H=\Bbb Z_{2}=\langle h\rangle$. You started correctly because we need some homomorphisms which can construct the proper relations for $G$'s. So you took $$\phi:H\to Aut(N)$$ You noted that correctly that $|Aut(N)|=16$ but we should be careful that any generators of $N$ would be mapped to

What are the real procedural costs of bariatric surgery? A systematic literature review of published cost analyses
Doble B., Wordsworth S., Rogers CA., Welbourne R., Byrne J., Blazeby JM.
This review aims to evaluate the current literature on the procedural costs of bariatric surgery for the treatment of severe obesity. Using a published framework for the conduct of micro-costing studies for surgical interventions, existing cost estimates from the literature are assessed for their accuracy, reliability and comprehensiveness based on their consideration of seven 'important' cost components. MEDLINE, PubMed, key journals and reference lists of included studies were searched up to January 2017. Eligible studies had to report per-case, total procedural costs for any type of bariatric surgery broken down into two or more individual cost components. A total of 998 citations were screened, of which 13 studies were included for analysis. Included studies were mainly conducted from a US hospital perspective, assessed either gastric bypass or adjustable gastric banding procedures and considered a range of different cost components. The mean total procedural costs for all included studies was US$14,389 (range, US$7423 to US$33,541). No study considered all of the recommended 'important' cost components and estimation methods were poorly reported. The accuracy, reliability and comprehensiveness of the existing cost estimates are, therefore, questionable. There is a need for a comparative cost analysis of the different approaches to bariatric surgery, with the most appropriate costing approach identified to be micro-costing methods. Such an analysis will not only be useful in estimating the relative cost-effectiveness of different surgeries but will also ensure appropriate reimbursement and budgeting by healthcare payers to ensure barriers to access this effective treatment by severely obese patients are minimised.

The Australian Standard Drink
What is a standard drink?
A standard drink is a unit of measurement. In the same way one metre measures a particular distance travelled, one standard drink measures a particular amount of alcohol consumed.
What is the standard drink used for?
Instead of counting glasses or containers, drinkers count standard drinks as a way of keeping track of how much alcohol they consume. Counting standard drinks is a much more reliable measure of how much alcohol is consumed compared to counting glasses, bottles, or cans. Counting glasses, bottles, or cans of alcohol can be misleading because they can contain varying amounts of alcohol.
The consumption limits in the Australian Alcohol Guidelines are based on the standard drink concept.
How many standard drinks in....?
The number of standard drinks in alcohol beverages is always shown on the label of the container.
Examples of how many standard drinks are in typical containers, always check the label or ask bar staff
Standard drinks guide
No label?
Bar and restaurant staff can help in identifying how many standard drinks are in glasses, jugs, and other containers that are not labelled. Restaurants and bars do not all have the same size glasses, so the number of standard drinks can vary from one licensed venue to the next.
How are standard drinks calculated?
The formula for calculating standard drinks is:
Volume of Container in Litres multiplied by the percentage of alcohol volume multiplied by 0.789, equals the number of standard drinks
0.789 is the specific gravity of ethyl alcohol
For example one stubbie of 375ml of full strength beer 5% alcohol by volume:
0.375 multiplied by 5 multiplied by 0.789 equals 1.5 standard drinks
0.375 X 5 X 0.789 = 1.5 standard drinks
How to count Standard Drinks?
Counting standard drinks is simply a matter of adding numbers.
For example if a person has one nip of spirits and two average restaurant glasses of wine, they would have consumed 4 standard drinks, that is 1 + 1.5 + 1.5
An average serve of wine is usually 150ml. Depending on the venue, glass size can vary from 120 to 180ml.
Some people put a bottle cap or a coaster in their pockets to represent every drink they have. This is not as accurate as counting standard drinks but it is better than not counting.
When counting standard drinks, people should be aware of bar staff or others topping up glasses or where the amount of alcohol is not known such as in mixed drinks, cocktails or punch.
Why count?
The main reason people count their drinks, using standard drinks, is to ensure that the low risk levels set out in the Australian Alcohol Guidelines are not exceeded. The low risk levels define the number of standard drinks that can be drunk before the threat to a person's health and social well-being moves up into the risky or high risk category.

AD Op Master Roles monitor. This monitor measures the general responsiveness of each operations master. The monitor periodically reports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) bind and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping time from each domain controller that is an operations master.
Associated rules generate alerts if a certain number of consecutive errors occur during these tests for a given operations master. This monitor tests the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master every time it runs. The other operations masters are tested less frequently (as adjusted by a script parameter), unless an error occurred the last time a test was performed. In this case, the test is performed every interval until it completes successfully.

Abstract
The approach of the complex network has well described seismic complex systems. In this paper, this is the first time three classical network construction methods for seismicity are compared. By using the same dataset from the Southern California Seismic Network, three networks are constructed. They all present the scale-free, small-world properties, a strength-degree correlation, and an assortative mixing feature. However, they show some differences in the hierarchical clustering feature. On observing the evolution results, three measures show a similar correlation with seismicity dynamics, but one measure shows a different result. These results show that different network construction methods will present some similarities and differences in network properties. This situation needs to be considered, especially when discussing a predictive indicator of seismicity.

This topic details how to modify the limit for the number memory maps a process can have on your system so that it meets Vertica requirements. The installer reports this issue with the identifier: S0130.
The installer automatically configures the correct setting if the default value does not meet system requirements. If an issue occurs when setting this value, or you use the --no-system-configuration argument to the installer and the current setting is incorrect, then the installer reports this as an issue.
Vertica uses a lot of memory while processing and can approach the default limit for memory maps per process.
The recommended value is at least the amount of memory on the system in KB / 16, but not less than 65536.
All systems
To manually set the memory map limit:
 1. Run /sbin/sysctl vm.max_map_count to determine the current limit.
 2. If the limit is not 65536 or the amount of system memory in KB / 16 (whichever is higher), then edit/add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf. Replace 65536 with the value for your system.

 # The following 1 line added by Vertica tools. 2014-03-07 13:20:31

Nobody knows for sure exactly why the rocks ring like bells when struck with a hammer is a mystery. The rocks do contain a significant amount of iron, which might be part of the explanation. However, the high iron content doesn't explain two other strange qualities that the rocks possess... Not all of the rocks ring when struck, and they don't ring when they are removed from the site, suggesting that the ringing has something to do with the way the rocks lay against one another. Larger flat ones seem to produce an especially impressive sound when struck.
Compared to the neighbors.
The Ringing Rocks are very small part (160 acres) of a mountainous region called the Boulder Batholith, which encompasses a large portion of southwestern Montana. Batholiths originate when magma cools slowly beneath the surface to form granite.

Date of wing molt initiation, based on the regression of tenth primary length on capture date, was calculated for breeding and nonbreeding Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus columbianus) on the Colville River Delta, Alaska. Breeding females initiated wing molt significantly later than breeding males and nonbreeding males and females; the molt of breeding females was correlated with the date on which their eggs hatched. Breeding males did not differ significantly from nonbreeding males and females in the date of molt initiation. Timing of molt in breeding males and females was consistent with the views that females delay molt while replenishing energy spent on reproduction, but was also consistent with the breeding pair's need for primaries to defend territories and to defend and brood young. Other results, including an increase in an index of female body condition throughout most of the molt period, and a positive correlation between clutch size and female hatch-to-molt interval, were not predicted by the hypothesis that past energy expenditures constrain the timing of molt. Patterns of wing molt within and among other Northern Hemisphere geese and swans are also difficult to explain on the basis of energetics alone. For example, breeding females initiate molt before breeding males in many species. Also, there is extreme asynchrony between mates in two swan species; one of those species also exhibits variation in which sex initiates wing molt first. Both patterns suggest that asynchrony, per se, is important, probably to facilitate brood protection or territory defense. In Tundra Swans and other northern breeding geese and swans, the non-energetic demands of territory defense, brood defense, and brooding are probably important constraints on the timing of wing molt.

Fight Song
In U.S. and Canadian sports, a fight song is a song associated with a team. In both professional and amateur sports, fight songs are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team, and are also laden with history; in singing a fight song, fans feel part of a large, time-honored tradition.[1] Although the term "fight song" is primarily used in the United States, the use of fight songs is commonplace around the world, but they may also be referred to as team anthems, team songs or games songs in other countries, even such as Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. Fight songs differ from stadium anthems, used for similar purposes, in that they are usually written specifically for the purposes of the team, whereas stadium anthems are not.
Hundreds of colleges have fight songs, some of which are over a century old. The oldest collegiate fight song in the United States is Boston College's "For Boston", composed by T.J. Hurley in 1885.[2]
One of the oldest games songs in Australia is Melbourne Grammar's 'Play Together, Dark Blue Twenty', which is sung to the tune of 'The March of the Men of Harlech'.[3][4] It was composed by Ambrose John Wilson who was principal of the school from _PHONE_.[5] This is not to be confused with the school hymn 'Ora et Labora' which is now sung to the tune of 'Jerusalem'.[6]

 3. ^ The Melbourne Grammar games song comprises verses from the school's three main sports at the time, Australian rules football, cricket and rowing. For example the Australian rules verse is:
 'Play together, Dark Blue Twenty,
 Long and little marks in plenty;
 Get your kick, let none prevent ye,
 Make the leather roll.
 Mark your men, keen effort straining,
 On the ball and show your training;
 Still though short the time remaining,
 Get another goal.'
 The chorus between each verse is:
 'None our ranks shall sunder.
 Who will shirk or blunder?
 If all are true
 To our Dark Blue,
 Our foemen must go under.
 Honour ye the old School's story,
 Those who played and won before ye,
 Bear the Dark Blue flag to glory,
 Grammar to the fore.'
 The cricket verse:
 Bat with patience unremitting,
 Yorker, shooter, break outwitting,
 All the loose ones freely hitting,
 That's the game to play.
 Skill the bat and ball in wielding,
 Smartness, judgement in the fielding,
 Iron nerve and pluck unyielding,
 Scarce can lose the day.
 The rowing verse:
 Row the race, boys swing together,
 Sinews tough as cords of leather,
 Strong, yet light upon the feather,
 Lift her, make her go!
 Get the catch at the beginning,
 Churn the tide in eddies spinning,
 Now a spurt, you gain! you're winning!
 Melbourne Grammar, row!
 A fourth verse with its own chorus was added in the early 20th century with imperial connotations:
 'Some, in strife of sterner omen,
 Faced the Empire's stubborn foemen;
 Fought, as erst their sires - her yeomen;
 Won the deathless name.
 Praise ye these who stood for Britain,
 These by foreign marksmen smitten;
 Praise them, for their names are written
 High in storied fame.
 None their ranks could sunder;
 Who could shirk or blunder?
 So stood they true
 To the old Dark Blue,
 And all their foes went under.
 Honour ye the old School's story,
 Heroes who - her sons before ye -
 Died or lived, but fought for glory,
 Honoured evermore.'

Deer stone
Deer stones (also known as reindeer stones) are ancient megaliths carved with symbols found largely in Siberia and Mongolia. The name comes from their carved depictions of flying deer. There are many theories to the reasons behind their existence and the people who made them.
Deer stone site near Mörön in Mongolia.
Deer stone, Mongolia.
Deer stones are usually constructed from granite or greenstone, depending on which is the most abundant in the surrounding area.[1] They have varying heights; most are over 3 feet tall,[2] but some reach a height of 15 feet. The tops of the stones can be flat, round or smashed, suggesting that perhaps the original top had been deliberately destroyed. The stones are usually oriented with the decorated face to the east.
The carvings and designs were most usually completed before the stone was erected, though some stones show signs of being carved in place.[3] The designs were pecked or ground into the stone surface. Deep-grooved cuts and right-angle surfaces indicate the presence of metal tools. Stone tools were used to smooth the harsh cuts of some designs.[2] Nearly all the stones were hand carved, however some unusual stones show signs that they could have been cut with a primitive type of mechanical drill.[3]
Types of stonesEdit
V. V. Volkov, in his thirty years of research, classified three distinct types of deer stones.
Classic MongolianEdit
These stones are fairly detailed and more elegant in their depiction methods. They usually feature a belted warrior with a stylized flying red deer on his torso. This type of stone is most prominent in southern Siberia and northern Mongolia. This concentration suggests that these stones were the origin of the deer stone tradition, and further types both simplified and elaborated on these.[4]
West Asian-EuropeanEdit
These stones feature a central region of the stone, sectioned off by two "belts", horizontal lines. There are also "earring hoops", large circles, diagonal slashes in groups of two and three known as "faces", and "necklaces", collection of stone pits resembling their namesake.
The Sayan-Altai stones feature some of the West Asian-European markings, including free-floating, straight-legged animals, daggers and other tools. The appearance of deer motifs is markedly diminished, and those that do appear often do not emphasise the relationship between reindeer and flying. The Sayan-Altai stones can be sub-divided into two types:
 - The Gorno-Altai stones have simple warrior motifs, displaying tools in the belt region of the stone. Reindeer motifs appear but are few.
 - The Sayan-Tuva stones are similar to the Gorno-Altai but contain fewer images of animals. No deer motifs are present. The artistic style is much simpler, often consisting of only belts, necklaces, earrings and faces.
Different applications of ornate antler detailing
There are many common images that appear in deer stones, as well as a multitude of ways they are presented.[3]
Reindeer feature prominently in nearly all of the deer stones. Early stones have very simple images of reindeer, and as time progresses, the designs increase in detail. A gap of 500 years results in the appearance of the complicated flying reindeer depiction. Reindeer are depicted as flying through the air, rather than merely running on land. Piers Vitebsky writes, "The reindeer is depicted with its neck outstretched and its legs flung out fore and aft, as if not merely galloping but leaping through the air."[1] The antlers, sometimes appearing in pairs, have become extremely ornate, utilizing vast spiral designs that can encompass the entire deer. These antlers sometimes hold a sun disc or other sun-related image. Other artwork from the same period further emphasizes the connection between the reindeer and the sun, which is a very common association in Siberian shamanism. Tattoos on buried warriors contain deer, featuring antlers embellished with small birds' heads. This reindeer-sun-bird imagery perhaps symbolizes the shaman's spiritual transformation from the earth to the sky: the passage from earthly life to heavenly life. As these deer images also appear in warrior tattoos, it is possible that reindeer were believed to offer protection from dangerous forces.[2] Another theory is that the deer spirit served as a guide to assist the warrior soul to heaven.[4]
Other animalsEdit
Particularly in the Sayan-Altai stones, a multitude of other animals are present in deer stone imagery. One can see depictions of tigers, pigs, cows, horse-like creatures, frogs and birds.[3] Unlike the reindeer, however, these animals are depicted in a more natural style. This lack of ornate detailing indicates the lack of supernatural importance of such animals, taking an obvious backseat against the reindeer.[4] The animals are often paired off with one another in confrontation, e.g. a tiger confronting a horse in a much more earthly activity.
Weapons and toolsEdit
Several sample stone differences
Weapons and tools can be seen throughout all the stones, though weapons make a strong appearance in the Sayan-Altai stones.[3] Bows and daggers crop up frequently, as well as typical Bronze-Age implements, such as fire-starters or chariot reins.[2] The appearance of these tools helps date the stones to the Bronze Age.
Chevron patterns crop up occasionally, usually in the upper regions of the stone. These patterns can be likened to military shields, suggesting the stones' connection to armed conflict. It has also been suggested that chevron patterns could be a shamanic emblem representing the skeleton.[2]
Human facesEdit
Human faces are a much rarer occurrence and are usually carved into the top of the stone. These faces are carved with an open mouth, as though singing. This also suggests a religious/shamanistic connection of the deer stone, as vocal expression is a common and important theme in shamanism.
Geographic distributionEdit
Archaeologists have found over 1500 deer stones in Eurasia. Over 1300 of them were recorded in territory of modern Mongolia. [5] Similar images are found in a wider area, as far west as Kuban, Russia; the Southern Bug in the Ukraine; Dobruja, Bulgaria; and the Elbe, which flows through the Czech Republic and Germany.[6]
Origin and purposeEdit
Deer stones were probably originally erected by Bronze Age nomads around 1000 BCE though further research into the Cimmerian stone stelae-Kurgan stelae should be taken into much consideration. Later cultures have often reused the stones in their own burial mounds (known as kheregsüürs) and for other purposes. Modern vandals have also defaced and even looted the stones.
In 1892, V.V. Radlov published a collection of drawings of deer stones in Mongolia. Radlov's drawings showed the highly stylized images of deer on the stones, as well as the settings in which they were placed. Radlov showed that in some instances the stones were set in patterns suggesting the walls of a grave, and in other instances, the deer stones were set in elaborate circular patterns, suggesting use in rituals of unknown significance.[6]
In 1954 A.P. Okladnikov published a study of a deer stone found in 1856 by D.P. Davydov near modern Ulan-Ude now known as the Ivolga stone, displayed in the Irkutsk State Historical Museum. Okladinkov identified the deer images as reindeer, dated the stone's carving to the 6th-7th Centuries BC, and concluded from its placement and other images that it was associated with funerary rituals, and was a monument to a warrior leader of high social prominence.[6]
A extensive 1981 study by V.V. Volkov identified two cultural conditions behind the deer stones. The eastern deer stones appear to be associated with cemeteries of the Slab Grave culture. The other cultural tradition is associated with the circular structures suggesting use as the center of rituals.[6]
There are several proposed theories for the purpose of the deer stones. There are different viewpoints about the origins of deer stone art. According to H.L. Chlyenova, the artistic deer image originated from the Sak tribe and its branches (Chlyenova 1962). Volkov believes that some of the methods of crafting deer stone art are closely related to Scythians (Volkov 1967), whereas Mongolian archaeologist D. Tseveendorj regards deer stone art as having originated in Mongolia during the Bronze Age and spread thereafter to Tuva and the Baikal area (Tseveendorj 1979). D. G. Savinov (1994) and M. H. Mannai-Ool (1970) have also studied deer stone art and have reached other conclusions. The stones do not occur alone, usually with several other stone monuments, sometimes carved, sometimes not. The soil around these gatherings often contains traces of animal remains, for example, horses. Such remains were placed underneath these auxiliary stones. Human remains, on the other hand, were not found at any of the sites, which discredits the theory that the stones could function as gravestones.[2] The markings on the stones and the presence of sacrificial remains could suggest a religious purpose, perhaps a prime location for the occurrence of shamanistic rituals.[1] Some stones include a circle at the top and stylised dagger and belt at the bottom, which has led some scholars, such as William Fitzhugh, to speculate

January Expeditions to Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia
Ashton Palmer
January Expeditions to Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia
Ashton Palmer
For most travelers, visiting the 'White Continent' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, why not do it right the first time and include South Georgia—our travelers never regret it!
Top 5 Reasons to visit Antarctica, Falkland Islands, and South Georgia in January:
1. Best time of year: January is mid-summer in Antarctica, when weather, ice conditions, and wildlife viewing are most conducive to exploration. This is by far the BEST time of year to visit both South Georgia and Antarctica.
A January expedition that includes South Georgia is rare and quite special in our books! Generally speaking, there are very few Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia trips in January. Reason being, it is more profitable for shipping companies to schedule in multiple Antarctica Peninsula-only voyages during prime season (January) rather than one or two longer programs that include South Georgia. Voyages to South Georgia are therefore typically early or late in the season, when conditions are not at their most advantageous for several activities.
2. Penguin chicks on Antarctic Peninsula: Your heart will undoubtedly melt at the first sight of these precious baby animals! During January, the chicks are still with their mothers in the rookeries, so you will see hundreds of penguin chicks throughout your expedition. Comical and naturally photogenic, these sweet creatures are hands-down one of the most entertaining highlights on these voyages.
3. Sea ice level: You will see sea ice in Antarctica, but there should not be so much to hinder exploration plans by the captain and expedition leader. Less sea ice also means the start of whale season! The whales cannot feed if there is too much ice. Enjoy spectacular whale watching from the ship or at close proximity from your Zodiac--amazing!!
4. Time to relax and acclimate: It takes a few days to get into a trip and over the jetlag. By doing the longer trip (17/18 days) you will have more than adequate time to rest and acclimate yourself, allowing you to better enjoy the experiences of each destination.
5. Elephant Island: You may have an opportunity to visit Elephant Island where Shackleton and his men were stranded after their ship, The Endurance, was trapped by the ice. January is the best month to attempt a landing here, as conditions during other months are often too dangerous to visit the island. For many travelers, this is truly a wonderful highlight!
My friend Brent Houston, one of the leading seabird biologists in the world, once said that if he only had five days left to live he would spend two of them on South Georgia. Of course, people always ask him where he'd spend the other three. "Getting there!" he answers.
It's true that reaching South Georgia is no easy feat. However, the reward is undisputable. A spectacular wildlife hotspot, those who have visited South Georgia have described it as "an experience of a lifetime," and "beyond imagination..." and even "a different realm." You may ask why there are not more trips going there then? The reality is that most people find it too difficult to be away for 3+ weeks. The shorter trips to the Antarctic Peninsula, therefore, operate more frequently and appeal to more travelers. Plus, simply put, the shipping companies make more money by doing several Antarctica-only trips verses just a few Antarctica, Falklands, South Georgia trips.
So why is South Georgia so special? In my experience, there are only a handful of places on the planet that offer such an incredible wildlife experience, and South Georgia is one of those places. Imagine stepping onto a sandy beach and being welcomed by tens of thousands of king penguins as far as the eye can see....none of them the least bit bothered by your arrival. If anything, you are somewhat of a novelty. South Georgia offers the chance to see several wildlife species that you will not likely see in Antarctica: king penguins, macaroni penguins, thousands of fur and elephant seals, nesting wandering albatross, light mantled sooty albatross, and the list goes on.
Not only is the wildlife abundant, fearless and absolutely stunning, but it inhabits one of the most visually spectacular places on earth. Imagine the jagged peaks of the Swiss Alps, laced with the massive glaciers of Alaska's Glacier Bay, surrounded by Hawaii's verdant green valleys, and you might start to understand the visual topographic feast that is South Georgia. Sparkling sandy beaches and black rocky coastline, this island truly is a jewel of the Southern Ocean.
South Georgia has a rich history, and was home to whalers of the Southern Ocean. Today, there are still a few locations where the hulking whale processing factories and a few retired whaling ships now rest, abandoned. Famed explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried at the former whaling station of Grytviken, a popular landing stop for visitors.
Following are a few memories I have of my time visiting...
- Experiencing the thrill when standing in amongst 100,000 king penguins...The sound, sight, even smell takes your breath away. It's like starring in your own National Geographic documentary!
- Traveling by Zodiac around the rocky coastline to watch young fur seal pups playing in the seaweed. The sea lions are so numerous that at times it seems the water is boiling with these playful marine mammals!
- Hiking up to see the wandering albatross on their nests. These birds often spend years at sea and only occasionally return to the place they were born to nest. Seeing these birds on land gives you incredible perspective on their size. Their wing span measures about 12 feet—the largest of any bird in the world.
- Toasting Sir Ernest Shackleton who was laid to rest in the cemetery in Grytvicken Harbor. It's hard not to be impressed by the accomplishments of 'The Boss' as you retrace his footsteps and voyages throughout the region.
- Hulking elephant seals belching and wallowing, fighting and grunting. These massive marine mammals may seem awkward on land but exhibit some of the most impressive deep diving and swimming techniques of any animal on the planet. And, while the adults may not be described as the most attractive animals, their offspring are adorable little sausage packages with big curious eyes. Who could not be moved by the gaze of an elephant seal pup!
- The graceful courting flights of the light mantled sooty albatross gliding over the tussock grass. These birds mate for life and court by flying in unison. Truly one of the most beautiful things to see, their light brown and white plumage are like a watercolor artist's masterpiece.
- Experiencing nature at its most raw and primal state—huge glaciers gouging smooth valleys, jagged snowy peaks, clouds, sun, wind. Feel the elements, breath in the majestic scenery...get in touch with nature.
- Watching the king penguins for hours, whether the young courting pairs, the fuzzy chicks, or the strutting show-offs. The king penguins breeding cycle is a year and a half and it overlaps year-round. The result is visitors will always have opportunities to see chicks, courting, nesting, and fledging.
- A myriad of colors, South Georgia boasts a rainbow of green, red, and yellow that you will not find in Antarctica. These vibrant colors offer a dramatic contrast to the ice of the Antarctic Peninsula.
South Georgia is a pinch yourself, "am I really here?", life-changing experience. As one of our travelers put it: "Knowing what I do now, this was easily the best travel experience I have ever had. No matter where I travel, I probably will never surpass the experience." – Louise Traige; Los Angeles, CA

Inverse Method
IMoniker::Inverse method
Creates a moniker that is the inverse of this moniker. When composed to the right of this moniker or one of similar structure, the moniker will compose to nothing.
Syntax
HRESULT Inverse(
 [out] IMoniker **ppmk
);
Parameters
ppmk [out]
The address of an IMoniker pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to a moniker that is the inverse of this moniker. When successful, the implementation must call AddRef on the new inverse moniker. It is the caller's responsibility to call Release. If an error occurs, the implementation should set *ppmk to NULL.
Return value
This method can return the standard return values E_OUTOFMEMORY, as well as the following values.
Return codeDescription
S_OK
The inverse moniker has been returned successfully.
MK_E_NOINVERSE
The moniker class does not have an inverse.

Remarks
The inverse of a moniker is analogous to the ".." directory in MS-DOS file systems; the ".." directory acts as the inverse to any other directory name, because appending ".." to a directory name results in an empty path. In the same way, the inverse of a moniker typically is also the inverse of all monikers in the same class. However, it is not necessarily the inverse of a moniker of a different class.
The inverse of a composite moniker is a composite consisting of the inverses of the components of the original moniker, arranged in reverse order. For example, if the inverse of A is Inv( A ) and the composite of A, B, and C is Comp( A, B, C ), then Inv( Comp( A, B, C ) ) is equal to Comp( Inv( C ), Inv( B ), Inv( A ) ).
Not all monikers have inverses. Most monikers that are themselves inverses, such as anti-monikers, do not have inverses. Monikers that have no inverse cannot have relative monikers formed from inside the objects they identify to other objects outside.
Notes to Callers
An object that is using a moniker to locate another object usually does not know the class of the moniker it is using. To get the inverse of a moniker, you should always call IMoniker::Inverse rather than the CreateAntiMoniker function, because you cannot be certain that the moniker you're using considers an anti-moniker to be its inverse.
The Inverse method is also called by the implementation of the IMoniker::RelativePathTo method, to assist in constructing a relative moniker.
Notes to Implementers
If your monikers have no internal structure, you can call the CreateAntiMoniker function in to get an anti-moniker in your implementation of IMoniker::Inverse. In your implementation of IMoniker::ComposeWith, you need to check for the inverse you supply in the implementation of Inverse.
Implementation-specific Notes
ImplementationNotes
Anti-monikerThis method returns MK_E_NOINVERSE and sets *ppmk to NULL.

How can you tell the difference between male and female lady bugs?
 1. 0 Votes
 Apparently there's you need a microscope and an entomologist's degree. Female lady bugs tend to be slightly larger but males but they are otherwise hard to differentiate one from the other. One can tell the two apart best when they are mating as shown HERE; the male is clearly smaller than the female.

 The differences between male and female ladybugs are not apparent. Below is an x-rated picture of two ladybugs mating which illustrates the lack of differences in appearance between males and females.

How to: Traverse a Binary Tree with Parallel Tasks
The following example shows two ways in which parallel tasks can be used to traverse a tree data structure. The creation of the tree itself is left as an exercise.
 public class TreeWalk
 {
 static void Main()
 {
 Tree<MyClass> tree = new Tree<MyClass>();
 // ...populate tree (left as an exercise)
 // Define the Action to perform on each node.
 Action<MyClass> myAction = x => Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", x.Name, x.Number);
 // Traverse the tree with parallel tasks.
 DoTree(tree, myAction);
 }
 public class MyClass
 {
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public int Number { get; set; }
 }
 public class Tree<T>
 {
 public Tree<T> Left;
 public Tree<T> Right;
 public T Data;
 }
 // By using tasks explcitly.
 public static void DoTree<T>(Tree<T> tree, Action<T> action)
 {
 if (tree == null) return;
 var left = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoTree(tree.Left, action));
 var right = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoTree(tree.Right, action));
 action(tree.Data);
 try
 {
 Task.WaitAll(left, right);
 }
 catch (AggregateException )
 {
 //handle exceptions here
 }
 }
 // By using Parallel.Invoke
 public static void DoTree2<T>(Tree<T> tree, Action<T> action)
 {
 if (tree == null) return;
 Parallel.Invoke(
 () => DoTree2(tree.Left, action),
 () => DoTree2(tree.Right, action),
 () => action(tree.Data)
 );
 }
 }
The two methods shown are functionally equivalent. By using the StartNew() method to create and run the tasks, you get a handle back from the tasks which can be used to wait on the tasks and handle exceptions.

The introduction of the Metadata extension within the Solana ecosystem significantly enhances the capabilities of token issuers by allowing them to attach customizable key-value pairs directly to a Mint Account. This extension fundamentally broadens the scope of what can be achieved with tokens, particularly in domains such as gaming, by enabling the embedding of custom metadata within each token. Such an advancement opens up myriad possibilities for how tokens can be utilized, interacted with, and represented.
Token Metadata Interface
The Token Metadata Interface standardizes the procedure for adding metadata to tokens, offering a defined structure and a set of instructions for managing metadata. This interface can be implemented by any program, affording developers the flexibility to craft bespoke Metadata Programs. This universal interface ensures compatibility across the Solana ecosystem, allowing wallets, decentralized applications (dApps), and other on-chain programs to seamlessly access and interact with token metadata.
Metadata Interface Fields
The interface delineates a standard format for the
TokenMetadata struct, which includes fields for basic token information such as name, symbol, and URI, in addition to an
additional_metadata field for custom key-value pairs. This design permits the inclusion of extensive and varied data about tokens, thus accommodating a wide range of use cases.
Metadata Interface Instructions
The interface specifies a concise set of instructions for interacting with token metadata:
- Initialize: Sets up the initial metadata fields.
- UpdateField: Allows for the modification of existing fields or the addition of new key-value pairs.
- RemoveKey: Facilitates the removal of key-value pairs from the
- UpdateAuthority: Enables the change of authority for metadata modification.
- Emit: Ensures the metadata can be emitted in the standard
TokenMetadataformat, thereby supporting diverse account data storage formats.
To leverage the Metadata extension, developers initiate by creating a Mint Account that enables both the MetadataPointer and TokenMetadata extensions. This approach consolidates metadata management into a single account, streamlining the process of metadata addition and modification.
The process involves several key steps:
- Mint Account Setup: Define the properties of the Mint Account, including the metadata to be stored.
- Account and Extension Initialization: Calculate the required account size and lamports for rent exemption, create the Mint Account, and initialize the necessary extensions.
- Metadata Management: Implement the instructions to add, update, and remove metadata as needed.
Advantages and Opportunities
The Metadata extension presents numerous advantages and opportunities for developers:
