Copying Repair Lines from a
One exciting aspect of Manager's vehicle history capability is
that you can copy information from a history order to a current order.
For example, while
preparing an estimate for an engine rebuild on a '68 Chevy Pickup, you may
recall that you prepared a similar estimate in the past. Rather than having to
put together the estimate from scratch, you can copy repair lines from the
historical order and paste them into the new order. Your parts, labor, and tax
rates are automatically updated to current values.
As another example, you
may have a regular customer who comes in every three thousand miles for an Oil
Change/Lube Job. Once you have begun the order, and selected her name in the
Customer panel, simply click on the History tab to view her history records,
open a history record for a previous Oil Change/Lube Job, copy the repair lines,
and paste them into your current order. Your order is complete without you ever
having to look up a part, labor item, or canned

Modelling and Analysis of the Performance for Bluetooth Low Energy
For the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection events, a 2-dimensional Markov chain-based model is proposed in this letter, to compute and analyze the duration, duty cycle, power consumption and the maximum throughputs. A general application of peer-to-peer bidirectional data transmission is described in this model, by taking the influence of data transmission states of both the central and peripheral devices on connection event state into account. The impacts of connection parameters, closing rules of connection events and channel quality on the performance are also analyzed. Experimental results show that the proposed model can accurately calculate the terms of average connection event duration, average energy consumption and the maximum throughputs of both the central and peripheral devices.

Corn Seed Drying Optimization Using Predrying and Air Drying Temperature Treatment.
Optimasi Pengeringan Benih Jagung dengan Perlakuan Prapengeringan dan Suhu Udara Pengeringan
|Suharsi, Tatiek Kartika
|Drying is an important operation in corn seed processing. Long duration of seed drying can reduce seed viability. The high moisture content causes the initiation of seed germination and increase fungal attacks, thus it will loss seed viability. Long duration of seed drying also decreases production capacity and will increase production cost. One of the efforts to increase drying rate is increase air drying temperature. But, the high temperature in seed drying will give risk. It will give effect on chemical composition destruction so it could be decline seed viability. Maintaining seed viability could be done by using predrying treatment. Predrying was done by blowing air using blower machine and it applied before ear corn dried with heated air. Combination between predrying and air drying temperature were the effective treatment to increase drying rate and maintain corn seed viability. The objectives of the research were to increase corn seed drying efficency by develop design of drying system and combine between predrying treatment with air drying temperature to get maximum seed quality. This research was conducted at PT BISI International, Tbk. on June till October 2012. This research consisted of three phases, 1. Drying system design, 2. Corn seed drying optimization, and 3. Economic analysis. The first research consisted of two phases, 1. Mini box dryer assembling, and 2. Mini box dryer testing. Corn seed drying optimization consisted of periods of predrying (0, 12, 24, and 36 hours) and temperature level factor (40, 45, 50, and 55 °C), used randomized complete block design with three replications. Physical and physiological quality were analyzed to find treatment which produced good seeds. Economic analysis were used to find treatment which give highest of B/C Ratio. The result showed that predrying during 36 hours on temperature setting 50 °C was the optimum treatment for corn seed drying, because it had good germination and had highest B/C Ratio.

Port path opened24/01/19
A SIX-FIGURE investment in the city's walking and cycling infrastructure welcomed its first users today (THURSDAY).
More than £376,000 was put into new surfacing, a boundary fence and improved lighting on a stretch of shared use path through The Port of Dundee.
Lynne Short convener of Dundee City Council's city development committee said: "This is a flat route alongside the river and now that it is smoother and better lit it will be easier for cyclists and pedestrians to use.
"The investment in these enhancements was specifically made to encourage walking and cycling, not just for leisure and pleasure, but also as a useful and practical alternative to using the car."
An agreement between the city council and Forth Ports, the port owners, opened up access through the harbour area via the path.
David Webster, senior port manager at The Port of Dundee added: "The cycle path through the port has always been popular and with the improvements to the route and the surface, even more people can enjoy a safe journey on bike or foot to and from the City Centre."
Forming part of the National and North Sea cycle routes and also the local Green Circular the path is popular with walkers and cyclists.
The project was awarded funding as part of the Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund established by Transport Scotland from funds awarded under European Regional Development Fund 2014-2020. The fund helps develop new active or low carbon travel options across Scotland. The work was carried out by Tayside Contracts.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: "I'm proud that this government continues to support high impact projects to help encourage the shift towards active and low carbon modes of travel and transportation.
"Through the Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund, we are supporting many projects across Scotland which increase travel options for sustainable, active or low carbon transportation.
The improved path through the port, for those on foot and by bike is now much easier to undertake. It will be good to see more and more eople begin to adopt the route as an everyday part of their journey between home and city centre.
Matthew Eastwood, Head of Transport at Energy Saving Trust commented: "The Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund has funded a wide range of projects across Scotland to deliver active travel and low carbon hubs and paths.
"The Docks Way in Dundee supports active travel through the provision of an accessible walking and cycling route, highlighting Dundee City Council's commitment to support sustainable and active travel across the city."
Kevin Cordell who is Dundee City Council's spokesperson on cycling said: "The newly opened path will form part what is already a popular commuter route between Broughty Ferry and the city centre.
"The cycle counter at the Douglas Terrace end of the path has already shown that tens of thousands of journeys have been made since it was installed in June demonstrating the value of our investment in getting more people cycling, more often."
The works at the path are part of Dundee City Council's wider commitment to increase cycling, walking and more sustainable forms of transport across the city.

The difference between the two is not big. Although the names are different, they are basically the same. They can still be understood as the packaging of the collection of Route.
2. Request processing stage:
<=2.1: 1. Match the requested URL with the route template recorded in the RouteCollection.
2. After finding the matching Route, determine whether there is a corresponding Controlled and Action according to the URL of the request.
3. If the above passes, call the Route Handler to process the HttpContext.
2.2+ : 1. When processing the request for the first time, first make a match according to the route set List and _actions.ActionDescriptors.Items (the information of all actions) configured in the startup phase, and generate a list. This list is stored. All URL templates that may be matched, as shown in Figure 2, this list is also List, which records all possible URL patterns. It actually lists the detailed addresses that can be accessed, which is the final address. That is, the endpoint, perhaps why it is called Endpoint routing.
2. The requested Url matches the generated table to find the corresponding MvcEndpointInfo.
3. Call the RequestDelegate method of the matched MvcEndpointInfo to process the request.
The difference between the two is that for the matching of _actions.ActionDescriptors.Items (the information of all actions), the original version is first matched according to the routing template, and then according to ActionDescriptors to determine whether there is a corresponding Controller and action, and the new version first uses the action The information matches the routing template and then matches with the requested URL. Since this kind of work is only performed at the first request, although it is not tested for efficiency, it should feel faster than before.

Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s, with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry, and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century, the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers, both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters, purveyors and consumers of domestic technology, Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing, but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home.

Manage network configurations using the account console (E2)
The account console for E2 accounts is in Public Preview.
This article describes a process that is available only for accounts on the E2 version of the Databricks platform. All new Databricks accounts and most existing accounts are now E2. If you are unsure which account type you have, contact your Databricks representative.
By default, Databricks creates a VPC in your AWS account for each workspace and creates new Databricks Runtime clusters in it. If you are on the E2 version of the Databricks platform, you have the option to create workspaces in your own VPC, known as a customer-managed VPC. This article describes how to use the account console to create and manage network configurations for your account when you want to use a customer-managed VPC. To learn how to create network configurations using the Account API, see Create a new workspace using the Account API.
Using your own VPC enables you to configure it according to your organization's enterprise cloud standards while still conforming to Databricks requirements. You cannot migrate an existing workspace to your own VPC.
Create a network configuration
To create a network configuration for a customer-managed VPC, you must create the VPC and subnets to meet Databricks requirements and then reference that VPC—including network objects such as VPCs, subnets, and security groups—in a network configuration for your Databricks account.
These instructions show you how to create the network configuration from the Account Settings page in the account console before you create a new workspace. You can also create the storage configuration in a similar way as part of the flow of creating a new workspace. See Create and manage workspaces using the account console.
 1. Set up your VPC, subnets, and security groups, using the instructions in Customer-managed VPC.
 Copy the IDs for each of these objects for use in the next step.
 You can share one customer-managed VPC with multiple workspaces in a single account. You do not have to create a new VPC for each workspace. However, you cannot reuse subnets or security groups with any other resources, including other workspaces or non-Databricks resources. If you plan to share one VPC with multiple workspaces, be sure to size your VPC and subnets accordingly. Because a Databricks network configuration encapsulates this information, you cannot reuse a network configuration across workspaces.
 2. Go to the account console, click Account Settings, and click Network configurations.
 3. Click Add Network Configuration.
 4. In the Network Configuration Name field, enter a human-readable name for your new network configuration.
 5. In the VPC ID field, enter the VPC ID.
 6. In the Subnet IDs field, enter the IDs for at least two subnets in the VPC.
 7. In the Security Group IDs field, enter at least one Security Group ID.
 8. Click Add.
View network configurations including errors
 1. Go to the account console, click Account Settings, and click Network configurations.
 All network configurations are listed, with VPC ID, VPC Status, and Created date displayed for each.
 2. Click the network configuration name to view more details, including subnet IDs, security group IDs, and any error messages.
 Not all validations are run during network configuration creation. Some errors are detected only when the configuration is used to create a new workspace. If a new workspace fails to deploy, re-visit this page to view new error messages.
Delete a network configuration
Network configurations cannot be edited after creation. If the configuration has incorrect data or if you no longer need it, delete the network configuration:
 2. On the network configuration row, click the Actions menu icon, and select Delete.
 You can also click the network configuration name and click Delete on the pop-up dialog.
 3. In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm Delete.

Middle school students win STEM competition
A team of Dorseyville Middle School students recently won first place at the Hack the Ram competition. The students are eighth-graders Steven Hu, Kanisk Prakash and Siddarth Srinivasan, and seventh-grader PJ Hart.
Hack the Ram was a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) 12-hour invention marathon. The purpose of hackathons is to create technology with like-minded peers in a collaborative environment. As part of the contest, students were tasked to come up with a way to support environmental/green initiatives. They were then given 10 hours of "hacking time" to create a website, app, program, robot or other technology initiative to support the theme. The Dorseyville Middle School students developed a prototype website that provided information on common recycling errors, enabled individuals to search for nearby recycling centers and also for those centers to post their information, and enabled individuals to calculate their carbon footprint. The Dorseyville students each won a GPS drone for their efforts.
The competition was held January 27, 2024, at Pine-Richland High School and was open to students from grades 6-12 from across the greater Pittsburgh area.

What's the origin of the phrase 'Pull yourself up by your bootstraps'?
Pull yourself up by your bootstrapsThe origin of this descriptive phrase isn't known. It refers of course to boots and the straps that some boots have attatched to help the wearer pull them on and to the imagined feat of a lifting oneself off the ground by pulling on one's bootstraps. This impossible task is supposed to exemplify the achievement in getting out of a difficult situation by one's own efforts.
Some early computers used a process called bootstrapping which alludes to this phrase. This involved loading a small amount of code which was then used to progressively load more complex code until the machine was ready for use. This led to the use of the term 'booting' to mean starting up a computer. An early citation of this in print comes from the Proceedings of the institute of radio engineers (IRE), 1953:
A technique sometimes called the 'bootstrap technique'…Pushing the load button... causes one full word to be loaded into a memory address previously set up... on the operator's panel, after which the program control is directed to that memory address and the computer starts automatically.
An electrical engineer correspondent of mine says that bootstrap was used with the same meaning as above to early radio circuits, before the computer era, but I have no documentary evidence to support that assertion.

How Does Blender Bottle Work – Working of a Blender
How does a blender work?
Let's have a look at how a relatively simple machine, a blender, and how does blender bottle work? In this complete guide you will get top features of how to use your blender and blender bottle in a way you never have thought before. So let's keep rollin'.
What is a blender?
SpeckAce - Best Reviews Website
What is a Blender – Oster Blender
It is an appliance that is within the range of household appliances. Its function is mixing and liquifying foods that, thanks to the grinding action, they end up merging. The device is used in the kitchen, and there are currently several types of it. The birth of the blender had a significant impact on society. Because, in the past, the work of crushing and blending was slow and complicated.
In the culinary world, the use of implements such as mortar and metate changed to one that was much more sophisticated and faster. The Polish Stephen J. Poplawski invented the blender in 1922. He lived in the United States, and thanks to his obsession with creating functional devices for mixing drinks, he created one that is nowadays essential.
Types of blender:
 1. Centrifugation blender: It is the appliance that is responsible for extracting the juice from vegetables and fruits through the centrifugation process. In Latin America, it as a "juice extractor" and in Spain as an "electric juicer."
 2. Grinding: Contains a motor that rotates blades to crush different types of food. In Spain, it's known as a "glass mixer" and in Latin America as a "blender."
 3. Hand blender: It is a much more modern type of mixer. It is also known as a "mini primer" and is used to mix food directly from the container. Its widely used for making purees, soups, and sauces.
Parts of a blender
 - Electric motor – It is the power source of the appliance, ultimately being what allows the blades to rotate.
 - Housing – It is the frame with which the motor is protected. There are the switches in it.
 - Shaft – It is an element with geometry, which is almost always asymmetric and is used as the support for rotating parts, although it does not transmit any torque. It is the piece with which the blender bottle rotates.
 - Glass – It is a glass or plastic container generally, which will contain food. Inside it the food is crushed.

How does a blender work?
The operation of the blender depends more than anything on its motor since it is the part in charge of making the blades or blades move and can crush what is inside the glass.
Even though they are convenient, they are elementary devices since they only consist of a container, the leaves, a casing, and inside of it a motor. The motor that they have and which serves to make the blades move and crush everything they find.
Its operation is efficient since the device is elementary. It consists of a glass that adheres to the motor at the time of blending, blades, and a lid. Traditional blenders generally have three speeds (low, medium, and high). All a user must do is put the food to mix in the glass and close it. As soon as the motor starts, it is generally possible for the user to choose between different speeds: slow, medium, and fast so that the rate with which the blades already attached to the mechanism will rotate vary. These different speeds will be useful to prepare different kinds of food, such as if you want to crush ice.
From that moment, the mechanism will start to rotate the blades and, inside the glass, a whirlwind will form thanks to the way they turn. The blending time will depend on the food in question. If they are soft, it will not take long, but if not, they may take more time and liquids to help with the process. On the other hand, due to the way blender works, a kind of eddy will be generated in the container due to the shape and speed of blades. The liquid that is formed will move to the sides and will also return to the middle because its substantial parts will move to the bottom, where the blades are; therefore, everything will undoubtedly get crushed.
Blender works with two energies:
Mechanical energy: which is created or generated when an external energy source feeds the automatic device and makes it rotate, advance, reverse, etc. It manifests itself by pressing the switches that turn the blade and move the jug.
Electric energy: which results from the existence of a potential difference between two points, which allows establishing an electric current between the two. When it is contacted using an electrical conductor and get the work of the blender.
If everything doesn't turn liquid, more power would have to be applied to make the swirl effect more practical.
Delicacies of all kinds can be prepared in the blender, for example, smoothies, creams, soups, sauces, among others. It is also essential for making cocktails in bars and similar places.
In modern times, the principle with which the blender was created, is used in other types of smaller, more powerful, or even more manual devices and without the need to rely on electrical energy. It can be seen, for example, that although there are now models with different sizes or antlers, the shape of these will always create a swirl that will crush and mix whatever is added to it.

What is a Blender Bottle?
how does a blender bottle work - best blenders for smoothies
A Blender Bottle – How Does a Blender Bottle Work
A blender bottle, as the name suggests, is a plastic or polymer glass cup used for mixing and is an essential part of a blender. It comes with a very tightly sealed and secure lid. The lid contains a round-shaped metallic ball, usually made of steel. Blender bottles are very convenient and low priced and the most important thing is that they are really easy to use.
What can a blender bottle do?
We all associate blenders and blender bottles with juices and smoothies, of course, it is its natural function and to which we are most accustomed. However, it has other services and uses. We will show you some ideas of what can do with a blender.
Today we honor our summer superhero with different fresh and creative ways in how to use your blender bottle.
For those of you who see the blender as just a smoothie machine, you're going to get amazed.
For us who have been using the blender bottle for more than just smoothies since the 20th century, consider this a reminder of all that what a blender (if we know how to use it) can give us.
Smoothies and smoothies
Of course. A blender, regardless of whether it's a lifelong Moulinex Vitae or the professional Clatronic AE 3532, couldn't be complete without a mixed drink. There's nothing like a tremendous frothy smoothie with lots of ice cream or a fruity smoothie with a frozen banana to make you feel like a kid again. Drink your way back to childhood with the shakes!
In our other article we have explained about best blenders for smoothies.
It is time to relax. The list of cocktails that can make in a blender is endless, but margaritas are my favorite with cup aficionados.
Your blender can help you make the sauce smooth, silky and flavorful. Take advantage of those tomatoes that you already have and are very ripe to make a homemade tomato sauce!
A high-quality mixer (especially high-end, professional blenders ) are the secret in making ultra-creamy sauces for the holiday or happy hour. Hummus is a classic to succeed with pita chips, celery, or spread on sandwiches, delicious!
Gazpacho or cold soups
Gazpacho, the classic Spanish tomato soup served cold, is a traditional blender dish. We love cold soups, and they are perfect for summer dinners or hot meals during the day, and they are a super quick and easy way to use fresh produce.
What is the function of a blender bottle?
So let's explain the functions of a blender bottle to get into details of how does blender bottle work. We have explained some detailed recipes that you can make with the help of blenders:
Ice cream
You can make ice creams inside a blender bottle. Ice cream makers are expensive, and making ice cream from scratch takes a long time – but not with your trusted blender! Can you imagine a chocolate and hazelnut ice cream in the mixer? Did you know that a frozen banana is synonymous with banana ice cream?
Mousse or Pudding
Use a food processor to whip the cream, but it's so easy to do it in a blender bottle! It is creamy and delicious. It's very reasonable to make this delightful dairy-free mousse – especially in a blender bottle.
Creams of all kinds, such as mayonnaise
Another of its features is to make creams like mayonnaise. With a blender, you will save time and effort, in addition to achieve different results than when you do it by hand.
Mixes to make omelets
Don't you feel like cooking? Do you contact like you have no energy? Even if you need to make an omelet, you can make use of your blender bottle. Have the mixture ready in a few seconds and enjoy a portion of delicious food.
Baby food
Another of its uses is to create baby food. You can add the ingredient you want to create good food for your baby, healthy as well as nutritious. In addition to saving

How to Splice Irrigation System Wires
Water-proofing your irrigation system's wire splices is one of the most critical tasks in any installation or repair that involves wire splices. The splices need to be completely water-proof. Taping them up with electrical tape will NOT work for this! The electrical tape will allow water into the splice as it becomes old, brittle, and the adhesive on it dries out. If you don't water-proof your splices it WILL cause your valve to fail! Don't save a buck on a wire splice and ruin a $20 valve! I'll explain in detail why waterproofing is so important later, first let's get down to the details on how to make a good waterproof wire splice.
General Things That you Need to Know about all splices!
Caution: The methods described below are intended for low-voltage wires of 24VAC or less, such as those used in typical irrigation system controls. They should not be used for higher voltages.
DO NOT BURY SPLICES directly in the ground. Put a box around them to protect them and to help you find the later. A small plastic utility box works fine. Glue a large steel washer to the bottom of the box lid using epoxy. This will allow you to find the box with a metal detector if grass grows over it. Splices are the most likely place a wire will short out in the future, so a box makes the splices easier to find and repair.
2-wire irrigation systems: These are a newer type of system that uses only 2-wires to control all the valves. The irrigation controller sends a signal through the valves to a decoder at each valve. The decoder then allows power to the valve solenoid only when told to by the controller. These types of systems depend on electrical "signals" sent from the controller through the wire to the decoder. Any voltage leak at a splice can severely impact the signal and cause the system to malfunction. For this reason splices for 2-wire systems need to be made much more carefully. Many of the 2-wire manufacturers have specific splice methods they require be used in order to protect your warranty. Be sure to use these if required!
Not sure if your system is 2-wire? As i write this in 2013, 2-wire systems are seldom used on residential systems, but they are also gaining popularity and will probably start showing up soon, first on larger systems. The controller case normally will be clearly labeled as "2-wire". A 2-wire system will also have a "decoder unit" installed on the wires at each valve. Standard irrigation control systems have two wires going to each valve. But in a standard system one of the wires goes to a single valve and only that valve. So if you have 4 valves there will be 5 wires (1 common shared by all the valves, + 1 individual wire to each of 4 valves = 5 wires.) On a 2-wire system with 54 valves there would be only 2 wires and each valve would have a decoder unit installed on it. The presence of a decoder to be installed at each valve is the best way to tell if it is 2-wire.
The best way to make the splice is to use special water-proof splice connectors that you can buy at any hardware store. These are made for sealing outdoor wire connections and work very well. There are many different styles and types available.
Water-Proof Twist On Connectors – "Nut" Style or "Wing" Style
Most of the connectors currently used by pros consist of an twist on type wire connector that is filled with a water sealing grease. Sometimes these are called water-proof "nut" or "wing type" connectors. These are inexpensive and very simple to use. Here are general instructions for use since a lot of these inexpensive connectors are sold without instructions. If instructions came with the connectors please use those instructions, as they are intended for the actual connectors you bought!
 1. For every 3 connections you need buy 5 connectors. Why? Because you will probably make several bad splices, and you will have to remove those connectors and toss them in the trash. They can't be reused because when you remove them a lot of the sealer comes out with the wire. (If you look close most connectors actually say "do not reuse" or similar language on them.)
 2. Start by stripping the insulation off the end of the wires to expose the bare metal wire. Do not strip off too much insulation, the exposed bare wire should be about 1/2 the length of the connector body. You can splice 3 wires together easily using a single connector. It's OK to put 4 or 5 wires in a connector, but be warned that it gets a lot more difficult getting the wires to stay in the connector when you use more than 3 wires.
 3. Place the bare ends in one hand and using your other hand, align the wires side-by-side, so the ends of the bare sections are lined up together. Those ends need to all go into the connector together at the same time, so hold the wires tight and don't let them slip out of position. Do not try to insert an additional wire into a wire connector that already has wires spliced together in it. You need to remove all the wires and redo the splice to add more wires.
 4. Push the connector down over the bare ends of the wire. Twist the connector clockwise to screw it on. Hold the wires firmly in position as you twist the connector over them. The connector has threads, a spring, or barbs inside it that will grab the wires and cinch them together tightly as you twist it on. Stop twisting when you feel substantial resistance.
 5. Hold the connector in one hand and tug on each of the wires with the other to make sure the wires are secure and will not pull out. If a wire feels loose or pulls out, disassemble the entire splice and try again. Use a new connector as some of the sealer will probably be lost when you remove the connector, and it needs all the sealer for a good seal. If the wires still pull out after another try you are probably using the wrong size connector.
 6. Finally make a visual inspection of the splice. The insulation on the wire should be fully inserted into the sealer gel or grease. No bare wire should be visible. That's all there is to using twist on wire connectors, they are very quick and easy.
The connector size is important when using twist on connectors! Be sure you buy and use the correct size connector for the wire sizes you are splicing. The package will list the various wire size combinations that the connector works on. The connector colors indicate the connector's size and most are standardized. Here are some general guidelines. Warning: There are some brands that do not follow these color guidelines so double check the instructions on the package!
Connectors for #18 wire. Most residential irrigation systems use #18 size wire, this is the size of most of the multi-wire underground irrigation cables sold in hardware stores. Unfortunately the colors for these connectors are not standardized. Most I have seen are dark blue or black. Make sure it says it will connect 2- #18 wires.
Connectors for #14 & #12 wire. Larger irrigation systems and commercial irrigation often use individual #14 wires. Sometimes #12 will be used for irrigation systems with very long distances between the controller and the valve. Most often these connectors are yellow. Note: Most of the yellow connectors I have seen will NOT connect a single #14 wire to a typical valve solenoid wire. For this you will probably need the smaller #18 wire connectors above.
Twist-On Waterproof Wire Connectors. Wing Style on left (blue), Nut Style on Right (black).
Mechanical Clip Style Non-Stripping Connectors
Clip style is a catch-all name I use for the various types of connectors that use a mechanical clamping system to grab and bite into the wire. Typically with this type of connector you push the wire into a round slot on the connector, and then squeeze some type of clamp that bites into the wire to hold it in place. Some require pliers to squeeze the clamp into the wires. The most popular of these types of connectors for irrigation use is the Blazing Snaploc BVS Series wire connectors and the 3M Scotchlok 314 series connectors. These connectors are more expensive but make a very secure connection almost always on the first attempt. You won't need to buy nearly as many extras for bad splices.
Container Type Connectors
These connectors are a two piece, two step system. You connect the wires together using either a standard twist type wire connector, a crimp sleeve, or even soldering the wires together. Then you shove the splice into a container filled with a water-proofing grease or jell and snap a retainer lid closed to hold the splice inside the container.
A variation on this type of connector is the original waterproofing method used back when I started in the business. You mixed a 2-part epoxy resin in a small plastic envelope and then shoved the splice into the envelope so it was covered in resin. The resin was allowed to harden creating a solid water-proof seal. Unfortunately the resin was a carcinogen

At what age do hens start laying eggs?
On average, pullets, or juvenile hens, start laying eggs at about 6 months of age, depending on the breed. Larger, heavier birds like Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons will lay on the later side whereas lighter, smaller breeds like Leghorns, Stars, and Australorps will start laying sooner. However, if your birds come into maturity at the coldest, darkest part of the year, they will sometimes not begin laying until spring: six months is just the average! We guarantee you that every day past five months that they haven't begun to lay will seem like an eternity!

Tuning the Mountain Dulcimer
In tuning the mountain dulcimer, the top two strings are tuned
to the same pitch. There is always an interval of a fourth between the strings:
so if the top two strings are a "G," then the bass string or melody
string is a "C." If there are four strings, then the bottom two strings
are tuned to the same pitch. "DO," or the first note of the scale,
should fall on the third fret of the top string.

Black walnut hulls contain a large amount of chemicals called tannins. Tannins absorb substances in the stomach and intestines. Taking black walnut along with medications taken by mouth can decrease how much medicine your body absorbs, and decrease the effectiveness of your medicine. To prevent this interaction, take black walnut at least one hour after medications you take by mouth.
Dosing considerations for Black Walnut.
The appropriate dose of black walnut depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for black walnut. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Part of a fountain pen that fills using a sack mechanism. The pressure bar is a flat piece of metal (usually brass) that sits between the sack and the barrel of the pen. It is manipulated from an input on the outside of the pen (typically a button at the end of the barrel, or a lever on the side of the pen).
This manipulation either moves or bows the pressure bar, which, in turn, compresses the sack. Everything in the sack is expelled, including ink and air (be careful where you point that thing!). Once the pressure on the bar is removed, the sack is allowed to expand. A vacumm is created, drawing in whatever the surrounds the nib (again, ink, air, or water).
As mentioned buttons and levers are the most common methods of manipulating a pressure bar.

A starving artist is a painter, poet, actor, musician, or other artist who lives in poverty. Life may be a financial struggle for the undiscovered artist who often cannot earn enough to make a living from art. A starving artist as the romantic, sometimes tragic figure portrayed in literature and theater is based on the bohemian counterculture that began in nineteenth century Paris. The French starving artists, or bohemians as they were known, were poorly housed and fed, yet were passionate about their artistic life as their raison d'etre, or reason for being.
The use of the term "bohemian" to describe a starving artist was inspired by Bohemian people from the part of the Czech Republic known as Bohemia, but it did not refer to all aspects of the actual Bohemian lifestyle. The French and other nationalities tended to view the actual Bohemians and Gypsies as con-artists and circus folk rather than actual artists. The French used the expression "bohemian" to describe a starving artist related only to the poverty-ridden yet free-spirited outlook of Bohemians and Gypsies.
The first bohemians were Parisian bourgeois; young people beginning to live on their own. They lived the impoverished life of a starving artist, yet most did have homes to return to whenever they chose. Soon, working class people who were actually poor also began living the starving artist life of the bohemian.
Housing for a typical 1850s bohemian was a small, sparsely furnished attic-style room on the top floor of an apartment building as these units were cheaper in Paris than housing on the lower floors. Many stairs, often hundreds, had to be climbed to reach the upper rooms. Sometimes several students shared a suite of rooms and focused on their art while also inspiring others. Food for the starving artist was often limited to small amounts of items such as potatoes, cheese, and herring. When a bohemian did have some money, it was common to treat other bohemians to a fine meal of lobster and wine.
Henry Murger's 1849 play, Scenes de la Vie de Boheme, was the first piece of art to make the general public more knowledgeable of the bohemian starving artist counterculture. Victor Hugo's masterpiece Les Miserables in which bohemian students were included as characters would appear later, in 1862. Murger's work presented three main starving artist types: the undiscovered artists who would often die in poverty as they thought discovery would come to them without their own pursuit of it, the paid bourgeoisie workers who lived the bohemian lifestyle for its romantic appeal, and the working artists without much money, but with a lot of ambition, who could survive well whether they became rich or stayed poor.
Jonathan Larson's 1996 rock musical Rent was inspired by Murger's play and the Puccini opera, La Boheme, based on Murger's play. Larson included modern artistic counterculture in Rent with subject matter about drugs, AIDS, and homosexual relationships. Rent is set in the East Village area of New York and is about the starving artist lives of idealist youth, some of whom are HIV positive, struggling to earn a living from their art. The young artists embody the Bohemian/bohemian philosophy of living each day one at a time and striving to make their short lives purposeful through the expression of their artistic passions.
I think it should be included that living the Bohemian life is the best way to live. Dedication to art should surpass the desire for wealth. It is more important to live a happy life than one in which people cannot be happy due to the circumstances that they find themselves.

Climatology and time series of surface meteorology in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard
A consistent meteorological dataset of the Arctic site Ny-Ålesund (11.9° E, 78.9° N) spanning the 18 yr-period 1 August 1993 to 31 July 2011 is presented. Instrumentation and data handling of temperature, humidity, wind and pressure measurements are described in detail. Monthly mean values are shown for all years to illustrate the interannual variability of the different parameters. Climatological mean values are given for temperature, humidity and pressure. From the climatological dataset, we also present the time series of annual mean temperature and humidity, revealing a temperature increase of +1.35 K per decade and an increase in water vapor mixing ratio of +0.22 g kg
−1 per decade for the given time period, respectively. With the continuation of the presented measurements, the Ny-Ålesund high resolution time series will provide a reliable source to monitor Arctic change and retrieve trends in the future.
The relevant data are provided in high temporal resolution as averages over 5 (1) min before (after) 14 July 1998, respectively, placed on the PANGAEA repository ( _URL_
While 6 hourly synoptic observations in Ny-Ålesund by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute reach back to 1974 (Førland et al., 2011), the meteorological data presented here cover a shorter time period, but their high temporal resolution will be of value for atmospheric process studies on shorter time scales.

Hang on there, you cool person who is looking to read some extremely interesting scientific information on oats and plant-based nutrition. Before you take a look at the following pages and before you proceed to click 'YES,' we have a disclaimer that we would like you to read here.
Q: Why is dipotassium phosphate added to Oatly Oat Drinks, including the Barista Edition, Skinny, Semi and Whole? Can you confirm that it's safe?
A: Due to its buffering properties, dipotassium phosphate is frequently used as an 'acidity regulator'. It's used particularly to prevent acidic coffee (with its low pH) from lowering the pH of coffee drinks to a degree that would result in the 'feathering' (splitting or precipitation) of the plant-based milk.
It's an approved additive within the EU as well as numerous other countries (including the USA, where the FDA has granted it GRAS [Generally Recognised As Safe] status).

The Heartland Latino Leadership wishes to thank artist Linda Garcia for her design contributions. Each element of the design incorporates symbols that express the strength, hopes, and culture of the Latino community. Taken together, they relay an even more powerful message of progress toward a fulfilling destiny.
HEART is for the heartland and for the real leadership which must involve your Corazón (Heart and Spirit) as well as the mind.
HAND symbolizes hecho en Mexico or handmade in Mexico. Although all Latinos are not of Mexican heritage, this symbol was chosen because leadership needs hands on efforts to grow a strong community. Many indigenous people have a strong history of folk art.
SEED held in the palm of the Hand; the seed symbolizes growth. Leadership, like a planted seed, benefits not only the sower but a multitude of others.
FRIEZE within the Heart, the step like symbol is originally from Vera Cruz.
This ancient symbol was chosen to represent a historical perspective. You must know where you come from to know where you are going. One must perpetuate their heritage.
RIVERS the outside lines of the Heart represent the Missouri and the Platte Rivers, reinforces the heritage of the Heartland, and invokes it as a new gathering place.

Phones, Drones, and Offline Data Collection
Repost: Written by me, originally published on the DataWinners site for Human Network International
This was originally published as "Phones, Drones, and DataWinners." The post has been updated to reflect the fact that the concept would work with any smartphone app that facilitates offline data collection.
No roads. No cell tower. No Wi-Fi. How could you use a smartphone app when your data senders have no way to submit the data they have collected?
Recently we've seen some innovative examples of projects the global health sector that use either remotely piloted drones or autonomous drones to reach remote locations quickly.
Remote towns that lack the infrastructure to receive medical supplies and send information are susceptible to an increase in maladies. Drones can bypass the inefficiency of the physical landscape to lessen a town's vulnerability.
The United Nations Population Fund has experimented with delivering condoms and other medical supplies to remote villages in Ghana using remotely piloted drones. Stony Brook University successfully tested using autonomous drones to deliver medicines and supplies to a distant village in Madagascar, and return with blood and fecal samples.
Could these drones also shuttle a smartphone loaded with the an offline-capable smartphone app, and provide the health workers with the benefits of a robust data collection system?
With the use of two smartphones and a physical means of transportation, data can be uploaded into the network in a timely and reliable way. Where a network connection is not an option, drones have a data speed advantage over other forms of data delivery.
A Scenario: One Drone, Two Phones
In a remote clinic health workers work offline using Smartphone A with the smartphone app to track patient health information, medical supplies, etc.
Drone at Headquarters
Smartphone A is used offline to collect data at the remote location. Headquarters is online.
Workers in the main clinic place Smartphone B into the cargo compartment of the drone. The drone then travels from a main clinic to the remote town. Upon arrival, the workers remove the incoming medical supplies and Smartphone B. They load the drone with their lab samples and Smartphone A.
Drone at remote site
At the remote site Smartphone B is removed from the drone, Smartphone A is inserted.
The autonomous drone then makes its way back to the main clinic where the workers receive Smartphone A. Smartphone A was filled with data at the remote clinic, which is then submitted to the main system with the use of an available cellular or Wi-Fi network.
Drone returns to headquarters
At headquarters the finalized Questionnaires can be submitted from Smartphone A.
With this hypothetical scenario, the remote clinic delivers better quality of care thanks the ability to exchange medicines and lab samples rapidly with headquarters. And with a well-chosen smartphone app the headquarters can better support the remote clinic with near-real-time information on patients and health worker management.

 - Transparent videos are typically used at an intermediate stage of a process for separating foreground from background or overlaying videos.
 - Typical settings for VideoTransparency are:
 - Falsecreate a video with no transparency
 Truewhen transparent frames are generated, create a transparent video when possible, fail otherwise
 Automaticwhen transparent frames are generated, create a transparent video when possible, drop transparency otherwise
 - Whether transparency can be stored in the generated video file depends on the video container and codec.
 - Use RemoveAlphaChannel to explicitly remove the alpha channel from a video.
Examples
open allclose all
Basic Examples (1)
By default, many functions create non-transparent videos:
Generate a video with an alpha channel:
Overlay the transparent video over an image:
Scope (3)
If VideoTransparency is set to False, the alpha channel of all frames is dropped:
If VideoTransparency is set to Automatic, the alpha channel will be preserved if possible:
Since not all encoders support alpha channels, an appropriate one needs to be chosen:
If the selected encoder does not support transparency, the alpha channel is dropped:
Not all formats support an encoder that is capable of encoding an alpha channel:
If VideoTransparency is set to True, the alpha channel of the images will be preserved:
Since not all encoders support alpha channels, an appropriate one needs to be chosen:
If the selected encoder does not support alpha channels, the evaluation will fail:
Applications (1)
Create a transparent video that can be presented on a variety of backgrounds:
Overlay the transparent video onto a virtual background:
Properties & Relations (2)
Setting VideoTransparency to True will not create an alpha channel if one does not already exist:
Use SetAlphaChannel to explicitly add an alpha channel to a video:
By default, images are blended with White if the alpha channel needs to be removed:
Use RemoveAlphaChannel to control how the alpha channel is removed:

Threshold Research on the Elderly Pedestrian Ratio in Pedestrian Crossing Speed Setting on Signalized Crosswalks in China
Inadequate consideration of the elderly people crossing demand on the signalized intersections would bring great potential safety hazards, especially the speed through the crosswalk. By observing the pedestrian walking speed at three signalized crosswalks and a relatively spacious sidewalk in Chongqing, China, this paper has obtained the walking speed values of 658 elderly people and 1,176 adults at the signalized crosswalks, as well as the walking speed parameters of 868 adults and 422 elderly people on a relatively spacious sidewalk section. Comparing the walking speed of adults walking along the sidewalk section and on signalized crosswalks, the data show that there is no significant difference between these two site speeds. Similarly, when comparing the two site data of the elderly, it is found that their walking speed at the signalized crosswalk is significantly higher than that on the sidewalk section. That is to say, the speed setting for the old people crossing the crosswalk has not been fully considered. Subsequently, taking the elderly's walking speed as input parameter, establishing the simulation models under different proportions of the elderly and different pedestrian flows, and then gain the walking speed values of the pedestrians with different quantities and different proportion of the elderly pedestrians. With the help of the unknown breakpoint Regression method, under the setting of the elderly pedestrian speed crossing the street, the proportion threshold of the elderly crossing the street at the signalized intersection is obtained. The results show that when the proportion of the elderly is more than 15% of the pedestrians crossing the street, the pedestrian crossing speed value for the signal time is suggested to be 0.97 m/s.

This Population Health Information Tool (PHIT) dataset is a comprehensive dataset for violent deaths in Massachusetts.
- This page, Massachusetts Violent Death Reporting System (MAVDRS) Data, is offered by

- Bureau of Community Health and Prevention
Massachusetts Violent Death Reporting System (MAVDRS) Data
About the Data
The Massachusetts Violent Death Reporting System (MAVDRS) collects and links data on all violent deaths within the Commonwealth. It includes detailed information on homicides, suicides, legal intervention deaths, unintentional firearm deaths and deaths of undetermined intent. MAVDRS is an incident-based system and links victims and suspects associated with a given incident in one record. These data can be used to better understand the circumstances and toxicology of homicide and suicide victims by geography.
Data are for deaths occurring in Massachusetts; Massachusetts residents who died out-of-state are excluded from this analysis.
About MAVDRS Data
The system combines information from death certificates, medical examiner records, toxicology reports, police reports and crime laboratory reports. Individually, these sources explain violence only in a narrow context; together, they provide comprehensive answers to the questions that surround violent deaths: who, what, when, where, and, in many cases, why. No other system offers this benefit.
This standardized database is part of the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) developed and funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through Grant _TAG_/CE002606. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Circumstances are factors related to the victim and/or incident and can include information such as mental health status, substance use, and relationship problems. Circumstances provide information on possible contributing factors that may lead to a violent death. A person can have multiple circumstances reported in the data. It is also important to remember that some circumstances are more likely to be known and documented than others, and if a circumstance is not identified, that does not necessarily mean it was not present in the decedent's life.
Data can be used to identify classes of substances for which victims tested positive. A victim can test positive for more than one substance class.
Data are analyzed by ICD-10 code.
Counts may differ from other data presented on homicides and suicides for Massachusetts.
To protect individual privacy, counts less than six have been suppressed with complementary suppression applied.

A company manufactures teddy bears.They have total fixed costs of $232,548.996 in the production of bears. The selling price of each bear is $19.16.The variable cost per bear is $15.15. What is the break even point in number of bears?
a.60,100 b.61,233 c.32,455 d.57,993 e.not given
This type of problem is vey easy. The break even point is where the total cost (Fixed cost + Variable cost) is equal to the total...
A break-even point is calculated. The solution is detailed.


a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable sorting
To enable sorting, sorting option must set to true. You can also set defaultSorting option. It can be a field name of a column of the table. For instance, if you want table sorted by Name by default, defaultSorting can be 'Name ASC' or 'Name DESC'.
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 sorting: true, //Enable sorting
 defaultSorting: 'Name ASC', //Sort by Name by default
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 }
});
If sorting is enabled, jTable sends a query string parameter to the server on listAction AJAX call:
 - jtSorting: A string represents requested sorting. It is built from sorting field name plus sorting direction. For instance, It can be 'Name ASC', 'BirtDate DESC', 'Age ASC'... etc.
An ASP.NET MVC action that is used for sorting is shown below (paging is also enabled for the code below):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PersonList(int jtStartIndex = 0, int jtPageSize = 0, string jtSorting = null)
{
 try
 {
 int personCount = _personRepository.GetPersonCount();
 List<person> persons = _personRepository.GetPersons(jtStartIndex, jtPageSize, jtSorting);
 return Json(new { Result = "OK", Records = persons, TotalRecordCount = personCount });
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 return Json(new { Result = "ERROR", Message = ex.Message });
 }
}
Note that while sorting can be used with paging (as in this sample), it is completely independed from paging.
Selecting
jTable allows you client side selecting rows. See a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable selecting
To enable selecting, selecting option must set to true. You can set multiselect option to true to allow user to select multiple rows at once. You can set selectingCheckboxes option to true to show checkboxes as the sample above. Finally, you can set selectOnRowClick to false to prevent row selecting on clicking anywhere on the row (it's true as default).
To get list of selected rows, you can call selectedRows method of jTable anytime (see sample usage). Also, you can get notified when selection changed by selectionChanged event.
//Prepare jtable plugin
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 selecting: true, //Enable selecting
 multiselect: true, //Allow multiple selecting
 selectingCheckboxes: true, //Show checkboxes on first column
 //selectOnRowClick: false, //Enable this to only select using checkboxes
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 },
 //Register to selectionChanged event
 selectionChanged: function () {
 //Get all selected rows
 var $selectedRows = $('#PersonTable').jtable('selectedRows');
 $('#SelectedRowList').empty();
 if ($selectedRows.length > 0) {
 //Show selected rows
 $selectedRows.each(function () {
 var record = $(this).data('record');
 $('#SelectedRowList').append(
 'PersonId: ' + record.PersonId +
 'Name:' + record.Name
 );
 });
 } else {
 //No rows selected
 $('#SelectedRowList').append('No row selected! Select rows to see here...');
 }
 }
});
In the sample above, we are registering to selectionChanged event. In the event handler, we are getting selected rows by selectedRows method. It returns a jQuery selection, so we can call any jQuery method on it. We can get the record by record data property. Then we can get fields of record as record.Name, record.PersonId... etc.
Master/Child tables
jTable supports unlimited level of child tables for a table. Child tables can also have their children and so on... A child table is releated in a row in master table. Look at the screen below:
Master Child table on jTable
Click here to see a live demo. When you click phone icon at left of a row, a new table slides down below the clicked row and you can manipulate phones of the selected person. You can do everything just as a regular jTable. When you click close button, child table slides up and closed.
To implement a child table, first we must understand custom (computed) column support of jTable. Green phone icon on the figure above is created in a custom column. To create a custom column, we use display option of jtable field definition as like below:
//...
Phones: {
 title: '',
 width: '3%',
 sorting: false,
 edit: false,
 create: false,
 display: function (personData) {
 var $img = $('<img src="_URL_ title="Edit phone numbers" />');
 return $img;
 }
}
//...
Phones is a field definition as Name or Gender columns. But Person record has not a field named Phones. So, we define a function that will create value of this field to show on the table. display function is used for that. It is called by jTable for each row. It must return a text, HTML code or jQuery object. In the sample above, I created an image (green phone icon) as a jQuery object and returned it. Then jTable showed this image in the row. personData argument (you can change name of the argument of course) has record property that can be used to get record values for current row. So, if you want to use Name of the person, you can get it using personData.record.Name.
So far so good. But, how to open child table when user clicks this image. jTable defines two methods: openChildTable and closeChildTable to control child tables. So, web can open a child table when user clicks the phone icon (in the display method above):
$img.click(function() {
 $('#PersonTable').jtable('openChildTable',
 $img.closest('tr'),
 {
 title: personData.record.Name + ' - Phone numbers',
 actions: {
 listAction: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' +
 personData.record.PersonId,
 deleteAction: '/PagingPerson/DeletePhone',
 updateAction: '/PagingPerson/UpdatePhone',
 createAction: '/PagingPerson/CreatePhone'
 },
 fields: {
 StudentId: {
 type: 'hidden',
 defaultValue: studentData.record.StudentId
 },
 PhoneId: {
 key: true,
 create: false,
 edit: false,
 list: false
 },
 PhoneType: {
 title: 'Phone type',
 width: '30%',
 options: { '1': 'Home phone',
 '2': 'Office phone',
 '3': 'Cell phone'}
 },
 Number: {
 title: 'Phone Number',
 width: '30%'
 },
 RecordDate: {
 title: 'Record date',
 width: '20%',
 type: 'date',
 displayFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
 create: false,
 edit: false
 }
 }
 }, function(data) { //opened handler
 data.childTable.jtable('load');
 });
});
openChildTable has three parameters. First one is used to indicate the row which is used as master row of child table. Here, I got container tr element of the image, so it gives the current row. Second parameter is a regular jTable initialization options. You can pass any option that can be passed to any jTable instance. So, you can define a custom column and open a second level child. Third and the last parameter is a callback method that is called by jTable after child table successfully created and opened. Here, I loaded records after child table is opened.
Look at the listAction. It's something like that: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' + personData.record.PersonId. Thus, we are getting phone numbers those are related to current person (personData comes from display method, see codes above). Also, we need PersonId in the server side while creating a new phone number for a person. It's done with a hidden field (See StudentId definition). Given default value is used for new records.
When you create a child table, jTable automatically closes it when user clicks close icon of the table. You can change/override these functionalities.
ASP.NET Web Forms support
jTable has direct

I have two lists,
List A [Document Number, Name, Title,...] (document library)
List B [Information Number, Name, Title, Document Number] (simple list)
Now List B is getting all documents from List A as lookup column and letting user add documents name to List B specific Information Number, which can have 0, 1 or many documents.
I wonder what would be the best way to get all lookup fields values (document's name but no duplicates) that are associated with any Information Number item in a ascending order by Information Number.
For example:
List B,
 Item A - Document 1, Document 9, Document 3
 Item B - DOcument 2, Document 3, Document 4, Document 5
 Item C - Document 1, Document 5, Document 9, Document 0.8
Now the output I would like is something like this,
Document 1, Document 9, Document 3, Document 2, Document 4, Document 5, Document 0.8
Can I use CAML query or through C# code, and an example code would be appreciated.

If you use a version of .net that support LINQ you can use the Distinct function after a conversion of your value:
var collectionWithDistinctElements = oldArray.Distinct().ToArray();
otherwise you can use the hast table
var list = new HashSet<string> { };
list.Add("a");
list.Add("a");
var countItems = list.Count(); //in this case countItems=1

 - Your answer seems alright but I tried a different way to achieve what I wanted, thanks. Commented Feb 6, 2013 at 14:29

I used SPQuery to get list items from both lists and then filtered the only ones I need. After I stored them in a List class and used IComparable class to sort them out accordingly.
Hope it helps if anyone else encountered same problem.

 - maybe this way is slowest than use a hash table (I'm not pretty sure) Commented Feb 6, 2013 at 14:39
 - I had to perform some additional things to documents which I couldn't do with hashset :) but it comes down to requirements. Commented Feb 6, 2013 at 14:54

text: this method returns a long, which can hold up to max int -1 divided by 2 number (correct me if I am wrong). So I guess there is really no need of long for a record number. (if criteria contains all null and db doesn't have a deleted record, then this mehtod will return all record numbers). So why do we have a long recNo? maybe a recNo can arbitrarily start from some large number?

Passive Radiation Detector
Published: Oct 12, 2018
A passive detector is a device, usually in the form of a Dosimeter, which is used to measure levels of Ionising Radiation exposure. An example includes the Film Badge and the Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter (TLD). The detectors are passive because they need to be 'read' at a later stage in order to ascertain the level of exposure recorded. See Active Detector which can provide real-time information.
