It is not just people crossing the ditch – a little New Zealand fern has also emigrated to Australia, and not just once but twice.
This is the first known case amongst ferns or seed plants of the same species dispersing twice across the Tasman Sea.
Hooker's spleenwort fern, or Asplenium hookerianum, is a close relative of the hen & chickens ferns. Hooker's spleenwort is widespread and common in New Zealand, but rare in Australia, with only a few, small populations in each of Victoria and Tasmania.
DNA analyses of the populations of Hooker's spleenwort were carried out by researchers from Te Papa, Massey University, and the University of Melbourne.
26 genetic variants were found in New Zealand, but only one each in Victoria and Tasmania. Not only are the Australian variants at the tips of the genetic family tree, they are more closely related to variants in New Zealand than to each other.
Many plant species are known to have dispersed across the Tasman Sea, in either direction. Numerous New Zealand species also occur in Australia (about 50% in ferns), and more have close relatives there. But, it remains an open question how common multiple dispersals within a species are.

The treasure in St. James Episcopal Church isn't just spiritual, but artistic as well, with works by America's greatest stained-glass artist.
Six Tiffany stained-glass windows installed at the Fordham church from 1889 to 1929 will be on display at an open house and tour from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 19. The open house is part of the New York Landmarks Conservancy Sacred Sites Program.
The church is at 2500 Jerome Ave. at E. 190th Street.
The six windows that span almost the entire career of Louis Comfort Tiffany's glass making include depictions of The Last Supper, Lilies and Apple Blossoms, Wheat and Vine – known as The True Vine, The Resurrection Morning – depicting Jesus, the Resurrection Angel, and Saint Augustine and his Mother Monica, said Reverend Tobias Haller, the vicar of St. James for the past 13 years.
There has not been an official open house featuring the Tiffany windows, or the church's royal Bavarian stained glass windows, in the past decade or more, Haller said.
However, the church did receive a good deal of attention when it was featured in a Tokyo TV documentary in 2010 on the work of Tiffany.
He made stained-glass art that pioneered the use of implanting the pigment of the color into the body of the glass – a technique that had not been used since the middle ages.
"We have one of the first Tiffany windows and you can see Tiffany's experimenting with different techniques," Haller said. "The oldest, a representation of DaVinci's Last Supper, is tentative and frankly, a little crude."
The Tiffany works that adorn the church range from more secular pastoral scenes, to the ecclesiastical work that Tiffany stained-glass windows are primarily known for, Haller said.
One of the windows has already been restored with help from a grant from the New York Landmarks Conservancy Sacred Sites Program, and the church's roof has also received restoration, Haller said.
In the coming years, the church hopes to restore most of the stained glass windows to their original splendor, removing plexiglas backs installed a half-century ago and other structural repairs, Haller said.
For more information on Saturday's open house, please call the church at _PHONE_. The church's website is saintjamesfordham.org.

Risk assessment model for wind-induced fatigue failure of cantilever traffic signal structures
Cruzado, Hector J.
MetadataShow full item record
The wind-induced vibrations of the mast arm of cantilever traffic signal structures can lead to the fatigue failure of these structures. Both full-scale and wind tunnel tests were conducted to study the behavior of the structures. Results of these experiments indicated that when the signals have backplates, vortex shedding can cause large-amplitude vibrations that may lead to fatigue failure. These results contradict what has been generally accepted by other researchers: that galloping is the main cause for the fatigue inducing vibrations and that vortex shedding is of no relevance in this type of structure. A methodology to estimate the fatigue life of these structures was developed. Using the climatology of the region, the methodology was applied as a risk assessment model to traffic signal structures of the city of Lubbock. Guidance is given on how life-cycle cost analysis can be applied to the structures.

Implementing a New Credit Score in Lender Strategies (UPDATED STUDY)
UPDATED for 2020
At first, the process of converting strategies to use newscores can seem overwhelmingly complex. Generic riskscores have become deeply embedded within strategiesand often strategy design is contingent upon the scoreperformance. In reality, there is just one central question that must beanswered for successfully converting a strategy to use anew credit score:
What is the value of the new score (NewScore) that represents the same default rate orpopulation volume designated by the previous score(OldScore)?
All conversion processes revolve around answering this question and essentially follow the same steps. The analytic and resource requirement for each step in the conversionprocess is determined by the complexity and magnitude ofthe specific strategy. Furthermore, the process must befollowed when converting from one version of a score to anew version or converting from one brand of score toanother brand.

Centaur from the pediment of Parthenon
A relief is a sculptured artwork where the form is modeled out from a flat background.
Reliefs are a common type of artwork found around the world, to decorate important buildings, such as temples.
The frieze in the classical Corinthian order is often enriched with bas-relief (low relief). Alto-relievo (high-relief) may been seen in the pediments of classical temples, e.g. the Parthenon. Reliefs can be used for a single scene, or ordered into a narrative. They can be very detailed to the extent that even tensed musculature itself may be seen.
Types of relief[change | change source]

I want to edit Ruby files using Python scripts and I need to
 1. Check if a function call exists within a class, add if not present, check function call args if present and change accordingly
 2. Check if a function def exists and if not insert a function definition inside a class
 3. Points 1 and 2 for blocks (and also for classes and modules)
 4. When rebuilding the edited file comments should be intact
Suggest me a Ruby/Rails parser written in Python. Also, tell me if it is a lot easier in Ruby itself rather than finding a library in Python, and if that would give me a lot more flexibility and even more abilities to control the Ruby files.
Are you trying to edit the ruby files while the ruby application is running?
Or are you using the python scripts to generate a project, like cookiecutter?
Ruby does support reflection and metaprogramming so you can:
 1. check if a method exists using respond_to?
 2. define a method using define_method.
If it were me, I'd do everything in ruby, but it depends on your usecase.
 - I am trying to generate a project just like cookiecutter. And you are right, I later realized I will have to end up having a full fledge ruby parser in one way or the other written wholly in Python, and it makes more sense to use Ruby's own reflection and meta api to change things in ruby files for checking if the function exists or not, or to add new ones. But it would still fall short when it comes to adding an assignment statement and function calls in an existing function or blocks. (Or would it? do we have methods for that as well?) – Saravanabalagi Ramachandran Nov 14 '18 at 12:52

5 Questions About: Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments
We ask authors of books reviewed in Oral History Review to answer 5 questions about why we should read their books. In our latest installment of the series, Loh Kah Seng discusses Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments.
Jessica Martucci's review of Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments is available online and in issue 47.1 of OHR.
What's your book about and why does it matter?
The book contains contributions from Southeast Asia, a diverse region where oral history work is still not widely known, and where it often (but not always) contends as fragments against dominant state narratives.
How does oral history contribute to your book?
The volume draws upon oral history fieldwork in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and deals with memory politics among a varied group of Southeast Asians: workers, communists, rebels, massacre survivors, villagers, and former leprosy patients.
Kah Seng Loh, Stephen Dobbs, and Ernest Koh (eds). Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments. New York: Palgrave Macmillan US, 2013.
What do you like about using oral history as a methodology?
In an academic sense, oral history in the region is incredibly rich and capable of disturbing dominant narratives. But it does not always do so, possessing a sometimes ambivalent relationship to power. Speaking about the past in the context of Southeast Asia—a bundle of nation-states with conflicted recent political and social histories—is both rewarding and challenging work.
Why will fellow oral historians be interested in your book?
Southeast Asia offers interesting ways to understand oral history in the context of decolonization, the Cold War and counter-insurgency, rapid industrialization, and medicalization of the state. Our book is a small (and old) one, and hopefully will spur further regional perspectives and trans-regional comparisons on oral history.
That oral history remains relevant and valuable today in many places in the world, particularly due to some of its original impetus, namely the relationship between memory, power and social change.

Homelessness and Hunger Among People Seeking Asylum During COVID-19
In August 2020, the Refugee Council of Australia surveyed charities, asylum support agencies and volunteer groups to understand better the situation that they and their clients are facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results are troubling: people seeking asylum have lost work, cannot find sufficient employment to support themselves, and excluded from the Federal Government's COVID-19 support systems like JobSeeker and JobKeeper, they are facing hunger and homelessness on a scale not previously seen in Australia.
In the few months since the survey, the lockdown restrictions have eased around the country; however, the situation for this group has not improved. Indeed, it has deteriorated further. We have heard of troubling accounts of people losing their homes as the eviction moratoria have lifted and medical providers have been treating young children in this group for malnourishment and related diseases. The health impact of the pandemic has not eased for people seeking asylum, and without urgent intervention, we fear it will worsen.
Finding work
People seeking asylum who lost work during COVID-19 have continued to search for employment: as one employer advised us, in October 2020, they advertised a part-time, 15-hours per week role that would suit many people from humanitarian backgrounds. Within three days, they had 400 applications. Agencies advised that between 55-60% of the people that they were assisting had lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic or had their hours so significantly reduced that they required financial assistance or access to a food bank.
Staying safe at home
Rent is the greatest single expense that people are facing. Of the agencies surveyed, the clients that they are supporting had weekly rents that averaged between $200-$350 per week. As people were let go from casual work (as employers could not access JobKeeper for employees who were people seeking asylum on temporary visas), they quickly used up any savings to pay their rent.
Over 88% of people seeking asylum asking for assistance from the service agencies and charitable groups had difficulty paying rent due to COVID-19
Of the thousands of people seeking asylum and accessing support from these groups, 56% are currently at risk of being evicted from their homes, and the groups estimate that 55% are at risk of homelessness (living on the streets). Over 14% are already currently experiencing homelessness (in a car, on the streets or in emergency accommodation).
Finding enough food and paying for water, electricity, and medication
The lack of access to any form of income during the pandemic has resulted in people not having money to purchase food. Over 70% of the charities' clients had to go without meals because of hardship and 75% had difficulty paying their utilities (water, heating, cooling, gas, electricity) because of hardship. The majority (60%) had to borrow money to cover rent, food costs, pay utilities, or to buy medication.
Support agencies and volunteer groups have outlined how deeply troubled they are:
"This group needs an income safety net, as NGOs can't sustain paying rents for the long-term. We are paying an extra $65,000/month on rentals and emergency relief since April and has increased to $80,000/month since October. Many people will be unable to get or return to work post COVID." ~Church-based group in Victoria
 "We've seen increases in hardship as the lockdowns have increased and as time has gone on where people have exhausted their Supersavings, and other supports. There are debts being accumulated, which are likely to result in substantial hardship and destitution for some time to come. This [data] does not account for people experiencing extreme hardship or at great risk who have been unable to access the centre or who are triaged as 'less in crisis'. We also have over 20 calls per day unanswered because of resource limitations. COVID seems to have reduced the options for people in obtaining employment or otherwise becoming independent." ~Asylum support agency
 "Clients have no safety net or opportunity to get on their feet upon arrival or after crisis. Clients' ineligibility for JobKeeper has caused a lot of distress, as they have paid tax and 'did the right thing' but still couldn't access JobKeeper like their [former] colleagues. People seeking asylum already struggled to enter the job market and are now up against even greater competition, with even more people and with more local experience and qualifications applying for the same jobs. ~ Non-for-profit service organisation in NSW
"People may come to us for one issue but do not want to raise the other issues they are facing so as not to appear 'greedy'. We are seeing people that have never accessed support before as they have been self-reliant and have had meaningful employment. We are observing increased mental health concerns. ~West Australian charity

- The Scholarship Coordinator, through local coordinators, informs the Sri Lankan schools of the bursary, eligibility criteria and how to apply,
- Teachers look out for gifted children at risk of dropping out of education due to economic hardships,
- Children identified are discreetly approached and informed of the scheme, provided with application forms and encouraged to apply,
- Applications completed by parents or guardians and countersigned by schools headteachers are sent to the APSL Scholarship panel for consideration,
- Selected applicants are informed in writing. They sign to accept the offer and provide a bank account in the child's name to receive the funds,
- Each recipient is given Rs5000 during the first month followed by Rs3000 each month thereafter.
On-going monitoring is carried out through the local coordinators who provide regular reports to APSL, to ensure that
- Appropriate use of funds for the befit of the child – through a monthly statement from Parent / guardian,
- Educational progress: through copies of end-of-term school reports.
- Which determines the continuation of funding from one year to the next.

The grounds of the Paul Revere House, Boston's oldest building and a historic Colonial landmark, are getting an examination. But there will be no probing; the procedure is noninvasive.
Using a technology called ground penetrating radar, Allen Gontz, an assistant professor of environmental, earth, and ocean sciences at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, began a series of soil tests at the North End site on Tuesday. He is looking for gas lines, water pipes, and deep features like wells, privies, and previous foundations.
Gontz's data will help guide the Paul Revere Memorial Association as it plans the renovation of nearby Lathrop Place, a parcel and two-family house built in 1835.
"It's just an added dimension, additional information that can be considered when planning," said Ellen Burkland, the city archeologist at the mayor's office who has assisted with the project and collaborated with Gontz in the past. The Revere Association plans to renovate the Lathrop Place house for educational programs.
On Wednesday, Gontz and a few of his graduate students were creating a grid of the property. The GPR, a device that looks like a radio-controlled car, crept over the courtyard bricks, taking measurements using electromagnetic radar waves that it shoots into the ground.
"What we are looking for is historical and cultural objects or remnants," he said. "With an idea of any building that would have been standing, we can build a model.... It could help develop a better understanding of what Boston would have looked like during the Revolutionary War."

Synch Options from Microsoft Excel to SharePoint
Depending on the business case one of the following options should be a valid one. It depends on the infrastructure too. There are a few limitations, variations and difference in concept depending on the requirements, for example if the use case involves only Excel 2003 usage, the process of porting data from Excel to SharePoint concept is called Publishing, where as if its Excel 2007, the process is keyed as Exporting. This difference is because
Excel 2003, out of the box (OOTB) it has the ability to synch 2 way with SharePoint.
Excel 2007, OOTB has the ability to do only 1 way synch. Although Microsoft released a add in to make 2 way synch possible.
In either case once the export/publishing is done the data in SharePoint should be considered as the master data.
1. MS Office Excel 2003 – 2 way synch is possible [Publish to SharePoint]

2. MS Office Excel 2007 – 1 way synch. (with add in 2 way synch is possible) [Export to SharePoint]

Excel Services Charts, Spreadsheets & Worksheets in SharePoint – Issues
You do not have permissions to open this file on excel services.
Make sure that the file is in an Excel Services trusted location and that you have access to the file.
If you are troubled with the above errors in SharePoint while publishing and viewing the excel services forms in browser then I believe you are in the right place. I am not sure if my guidelines will solve your problem but at least it solved my issues.
 1. In central admin site, in operations page, under services in the server farm enable the Excel Services.
 2. Open up the Shared Services Admin site. Under "Excel Services settings" section, open the 'Edit Excel Services settings '. Set the File Access Method to Process Account. In the same page under the 'External Data' section assign the appropriate user.
 3. Back to SSP Admin site. Open the "Excel Services Trusted File Locations". Give the URL Address of the location where you publish your excel workbooks. Potentially this will be the document library of type excel services. If it's a document library make sure not to put the complete URL i.e DON'T PUT something like http://server:5050/doclibraryname/Forms/AllItems.aspx, instead put it like http://server:5050/doclibraryname. In my case this is the main reason which showed the above error. If I use full URL I get those errors and no site mentions this after spending hours searching on google.
 4. In the same page under the 'External Data' select the Trusted data connection libraries and embedded or just the Trusted data connection libraries.

Pigeon Fermented Mixed Vegetables is a product that consists of a blend of various vegetables that have undergone a fermentation process. Fermented vegetables are known for their tangy, complex flavors and are often used in Asian cuisines as condiments, side dishes, or ingredients in cooking.
The exact composition of Pigeon Fermented Mixed Vegetables may vary, but it typically includes a combination of vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, radishes, and other seasonal vegetables. These vegetables are fermented using traditional methods, allowing beneficial bacteria to develop and enhance the flavors.
During the fermentation process, the natural sugars in the vegetables are transformed, resulting in a slightly sour and tangy taste. This fermentation also promotes the growth of probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health.
Pigeon Fermented Mixed Vegetables can be enjoyed in various ways. They can be served as a side dish alongside rice or noodles, added to soups or stews for added flavor, or used as a condiment to provide a tangy and refreshing element to dishes.

The Kualti are the elite guard of Queen Zyanyi Arkan, the current ruler of Varlamore. Their sole purpose is to protect the Queen, and nothing else.[1] Their headquarters is located in Civitas illa Fortis, adjacent to the royal palace. During a A Kingdom Divided, they accompany Queen Zyanyi to attend the coronation ceremony in Great Kourend.
To become one of the Kualti requires having served many years in the kingdom's army and rigorous training as a knight of the kingdom.[2] Upon completing their training, the Kualti-to-be would be initiated into the ranks of the Kualti in an initiation ceremony.
The Kualti initiation ceremony is performed by Varlamore's High Priest, who would hand over the dagger of the Kualti-to-be's predecessor, which signified their place as one of the Kualti.[3] Each dagger is unique to one of the Kualti, and the Grand Museum of Civitas illa Fortis contains a section where they are displayed, where rows and rows of them are arranged by the ruler under which their owner served.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - The word "Kualti" means "to feed" in Nahuatl, a language/group of languages of the Uto-Aztecan language family. This can be interpreted that they are important fodder to protect their Queen, which is their sole duty.

Calculate the mass of ice required to lower the temperature of 300 g of water 40°C to water at 0°C.
(Specific latent heat of ice = 336 J/g, the Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2J/g°C)
Let m be the mass of the ice to be added.
Heat energy required to melt to lower the temperature is = mL = m x 336
Heat energy imparted by the water in fall of its temperature from 40°C to
0°C = mass of the water x specific heat capacity x fall in temperature
= 300 x 4.2 x 40°C
If there is no loss of heat,
m x 336 J/g = 300 g x 4.2 J/g°C x 40°C
':. m = (300 xx 4.2 xx 40)/336'

Villanova Launches Sustainable Engineering Research Center
The new center of research will aim to bring concepts of sustainability within the study and practice of engineering to life.
Villanova's College of Engineering has launched a new center of research that brings concepts of sustainability within the study and practice of engineering to life. The new Villanova Center for the Advancement of Sustainability in Engineering (VCASE) will house multi-disciplinary research and teaching in a number of emerging areas and seeks to protect and restore the environment through the systems-based integration of sustainability principles into engineering solutions.
"In the 21st century, engineering innovations will be judged not only on how effectively they solve a particular problem, but also on the net impact they leave on the planet. The importance of working across disciplines to mitigate that impact, while respecting the complexity of our environment, cannot be overstated," says Dr. Robert Traver, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of VCASE. Traver is also the director of the Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership and recently served on the National Academy of Sciences panel tapped to review the White House Council on Environmental Quality's proposed revisions to federal principles and guidelines for water resources planning.
VCASE draws together faculty and students from the college's four academic departments (chemical, mechanical, electrical and computer, and civil and environmental), whose research efforts are organized into five main research focus areas:
- Biomass resources and conversion technologies,
- Alternative and renewable energy,
- Environmental sustainability,
- Infrastructure materials and transportation systems, and
- Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership, which has promoted a partnership approach to sustainable stormwater management for more than 10 years
In addition to the college of engineering's laboratories, VCASE student and faculty researchers also leverage Villanova's campus infrastructure, which serves as a living laboratory for conducting real-world experimental studies. The on-campus research sites include: stormwater wetlands; bio-infiltration and bio-retention basins; bio-swale; green roof; geothermal wells; rain barrels; pervious concrete and porous asphalt; and solar panels.
Recent VCASE research initiatives include:
- Continuing studies on the long-term performance of stormwater control measures funded through Pennsylvania's Growing Greener and 319 NonPoint Source Pollution program.
- Converting wastewater byproducts such as fats, oils, and grease into renewable energy sources such as methane gas for the Philadelphia Water Department.
- Design of extremely efficient micro-scale heat exchangers to keep electronics, such as computer chips, cool.
- Three university studies into the science of bioretention funded by The Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology.
- An exploration of how pervious concrete and porous asphalt – both alternatives to conventional paving materials – can reduce negative stormwater runoff effects.
- An investigation of the long-term performance of mature stormwater abatement systems to determine how well they reduce the toxicity of stormwater runoff and how long these systems can properly remove contaminants before maintenance will be required for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In addition to conducting research, VCASE faculty researchers also host industry and community outreach activities, collaborate across Villanova's other colleges, and build partnerships with other universities, engineering firms, and manufacturing organizations. In addition, VCASE members also serve in a counseling capacity to Villanova's facilities management office as it stewards changes according to the campus master plan. A recent result of this partnership was the retro-fitting of Fedigan Hall, an 80-year-old residence hall, which now boasts green amenities such as geothermal wells, porous asphalt, rain barrels, and rain gardens, among other environmental upgrades.


Leche Merengada Recipe | Spanish-food.org
HomeDessertsLeche Merengada
Leche Merengada
Origin: Spain
Leche merengada
Leche merengada or Spanish milk shake is a typical Spanish drink made with milk, egg whites and sweetened with sugar and aromatized with cinnamon. It's served very cold and in some cases part of the drink is frozen and with a texture similar to snow, making it the perfect summer drink. This is why it's normally served in ice-cream parlors in Spanish cities and "horchaterias" (shops where horchata, a typical Valencia drink, is sold in Valencia).
We don't know much about the origins of this popular drink, however it's a favorite of our grandparents, parents and children. It's normally consumed in summer as it's very refreshing.
Many children have among some of their fondest memories, those of when their grandparents took them to the town or neighborhood ice-cream parlor for a cone or a glass of leche merengada and would tell of their week's adventure while their faces and hair got smeared with the dessert.
Not only is leche merengada a tradition in itself, it also has it's own song:
Tengo una vaca lechera
no es una vaca cualquiera.
Me da leche merengada,
¡Ay! que vaca tan salada
Tolón, tolón. Tolón, tolón.
If you want to know the meaning of this song and many others we suggest a Spanish course in Spain. Songs and food are a great way of learning the Spanish language and they are often used as topics on such language courses.
In reality, this drink is considered a milk shake with egg white, although the basic recipe doesn't change, there are some variations. For instance, some cooks add a few espresso drops, lemon juice drops or vanilla. The recipe is really somewhere in between a milkshake and a milk sorbet. Often Spanish mothers will prepare the drink in the morning so that it has enough time to cool in the fridge or freezer before their children tuck into it. After a glass of it though, you might be thinking of making some more in the evening for the next day too!
Leche merengada has been one of the most popular and in demand drink in cafes in Madrid since the end of the 18th century and has appeared in many novels as summer drinks or ice-creams consumed by character, an example of this is Jacinto y Fortuna by Pérez-Galdós. Today it is still a staple recipe for any good Spanish cook book.
Fortunately, like many other Spanish food recipes, leche merengada is easy to make and uses common and easy to find ingredients. This means that it is a great one to make everyday or for special occasions. Furthermore, the ingredients are normally inexpensive which is great if you are on a tight budget yet still want to enjoy a little taste of Spanish cuisine.
Leche Merengada | Spanish Milk Shake

 - Turn the stove off and let it cool
 - While the milk cools whisk the egg whites until they form peaks, you can add a few lemon drops, though it's not mandatory.
 - Add the remaining 50 grams of sugar and little by little pour the cold milk on the -meringue through a strainer
 - Put in the fridge if you want it liquid or in the freezer if you want to achieve an ice-cream like texture.
Some people leave the milkshake in the freezer for much longer in tubs so that it turns into ice cream. This means that the drink can serve as a dessert as well. In fact, you will find that a number of ice cream parlours in Spain do in fact have leche merengada ice cream in sale. Why not have a scoop!
Naturally, as an ice cold drink, this is perfect for hot summer days in Spain. But when you make it into an ice cream, it makes a great accompaniment to a piece of warm cake or tart, and can therefore be consumed all year round!


system RAM available. The executor will stop accepting more than 1 job at a time until more memory is available. The available memory percentage is calculated from the total available memory divided by the total real memory multiplied by 100. Buffers and cache are considered available in the calculation. .. attr:: hostname :default: hostname of the server The executor needs to know its hostname under which it is reachable by zuul-web. Otherwise live console log streaming doesn't work. In most cases This is automatically detected correctly. But when running in environments where it cannot determine its hostname correctly this can be overridden here. .. attr:: zone :default: None Name of the nodepool executor-zone to exclusively execute all jobs that have nodes with the specified executor-zone attribute. As an example, it is possible for nodepool nodes to exist in a cloud without public accessable IP address. By adding an executor to a zone nodepool nodes could be configured to use private ip addresses. To enable this in nodepool, you'll use the node-attributes setting in a provider pool. For example: .. code-block:: yaml pools: - name: main node-attributes: executor-zone: vpn .. attr:: merger .. attr:: git_user_email Value to pass to 'git config user.email '_. .. attr:: git_user_name Value to pass to 'git config user.name '_. Operation ~~~~~~~~~ To start the executor, run ''zuul-executor''. There are several commands which can be run to control the executor's behavior once it is running. In order to stop the executor and under normal circumstances it is best to pause and wait for all currently running jobs to finish before stopping it. To do so run ''zuul-executor pause''. To stop the executor immediately, run ''zuul-executor stop''. Jobs that were running on the stopped executor will be rescheduled on other executors. To enable or disable running Ansible in verbose mode (with the ''-vvv'' argument to ansible-playbook) run ''zuul-executor verbose'' and ''zuul-executor unverbose''. Ansible and Python 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As noted above, the executor runs Ansible playbooks against the remote node(s) allocated for the job. Since part of executing playbooks on remote hosts is running Python scripts on them, Ansible needs to know what Python interpreter to use on the remote host. With older distributions, ''/usr/bin/python2'' was a generally sensible choice. However, over time a heterogeneous Python ecosystem has evolved where older distributions may only provide Python 2, most provide a mixed 2/3 environment and newer distributions may only provide Python 3 (and then others like RHEL8 may even have separate "system" Python versions to add to confusion!). Ansible's ''ansible_python_interpreter'' variable configures the path to the remote Python interpreter to use during playbook execution. This value is set by Zuul from the ''python-path'' specified for the node by Nodepool; see the 'nodepool configuration documentation '__. This defaults to ''auto'', where Ansible will automatically discover the interpreter available on the remote host. However, this setting only became available in Ansible >=2.8, so Zuul will translate ''auto'' into the old default of ''/usr/bin/python2'' when configured to use older Ansible versions. Thus for modern Python 3-only hosts no further configuration is needed when using Ansible >=2.8 (e.g. Fedora, Bionic onwards). If using earlier Ansible versions you may need to explicitly set the ''python-path'' if ''/usr/bin/python2'' is not available on the node. Ansible roles/modules which include Python code are generally Python 3 safe now, but there is still a small possibility of incompatibility. See also the Ansible 'Python 3 support page '__. .. _web-server: Web Server ---------- .. TODO: Turn REST API into a link to swagger docs when we grow them The Zuul web server serves as the single process handling all HTTP interactions with Zuul. This includes the websocket interface for live log streaming, the REST API and the html/javascript dashboard. All three are served as a holistic web application. For information on additional supported deployment schemes, see :ref:'web-deployment-options'. Web servers need to be able to connect to the Gearman server (usually the scheduler host). If the SQL reporter is used, they need to be able to connect to the database it reports to in order to support the dashboard. If a GitHub connection is configured, they need to be reachable by GitHub so they may receive notifications. Configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition to the common configuration sections, the following sections of ''zuul.conf'' are used by the web server: .. attr:: web .. attr:: listen_address :default: 127.0.0.1 IP address or domain name on which to listen. .. attr:: log_config Path to log config file for the web server process. .. attr:: pidfile :default: /var/run/zuul/web.pid Path to PID lock file for the web server process. .. attr:: port :default: 9000 Port to use for web server process. .. attr:: websocket_url Base URL on which the websocket service is exposed, if different than the base URL of the web app. .. attr:: stats_url Base URL from which statistics emitted via statsd can be queried. .. attr:: stats_type :default: graphite Type of server hosting the statistics information. Currently only 'graphite' is supported by the dashboard. .. attr:: static_path :default: zuul/web/static Path containing the static web assets. .. attr:: static_cache_expiry :default: 3600 The Cache-Control max-age response header value for static files served by the zuul-web. Set to 0 during development to disable Cache-Control. .. _web-server-tenant-scoped-api: Enabling tenant-scoped access to privileged actions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A user can be granted access to protected REST API endpoints by providing a valid JWT (JSON Web Token) as a bearer token when querying the API endpoints. JWTs are signed and therefore Zuul must be configured so that signatures can be verified. More information about the JWT standard can be found on the 'IETF's RFC page '_. This optional section of ''zuul.conf'', if present, will activate the protected endpoints and configure JWT validation: .. attr:: auth .. attr:: driver The signing algorithm to use. Accepted values are ''HS256'', ''RS256'' or ''RS256withJWKS''. See below for driver-specific configuration options. .. attr:: allow_authz_override :default: false Allow a JWT to override predefined access rules. See the section on :ref:'JWT contents ' for more details on how to grant access to tenants with a JWT. .. attr:: realm The authentication realm. .. attr:: default :default: false If set to ''true'', use this realm as the default authentication realm when handling HTTP authentication errors. .. attr:: client_id The expected value of the "aud" claim in the JWT. This is required for validation. .. attr:: issuer_id The expected value of the "iss" claim in the JWT. This is required for validation. .. attr:: uid_claim :default: sub The JWT claim that Zuul will use as a unique identifier for the bearer of a token. This is "sub" by default, as it is usually the purpose of this claim in a JWT. This identifier is used in audit logs. .. attr:: max_validity_time Optional value to ensure a JWT cannot be valid for more than this amount of time in seconds.

Corsican construction tycoon Patrick Rocca was fined 150,000 euros on Tuesday for harming protected turtles on a construction site even after authorities told him to stop.
Six dead specimens of the species known as Hermann's tortoise and another "mortally wounded" animal were found when officers from France's biodiversity agency inspected the site in December 2019.
About 3.5 hectares of the habitat just outside the capital of the Mediterranean island of Ajaccio was disturbed and 2.8 hectares were destroyed, investigators found, calling for a halt to work.
But Roca's company Fortimo — one of the largest employers on the French Mediterranean island, with about 1,000 local workers — continued construction, and days later more dead turtles were found.
His conviction for mutilation and unauthorized destruction of protected animal species and their habitat follows a court ruling against Fortimo, who had to pay a fine of 500,000 euros ($540,000) and a total of 530,000 euros in damages.
Rocca's lawyer Philip Gatti called the sentences "excessive."
Corsica is one of the last places where Hermann's tortoises — the only species native to France — still live in the wild.
They are protected by France and the European Union, as well as internationally.

The isEncrypted() property is not related to the Encrypt field. That field is just a UI switch. The isEncrypted() property is based on the $Seal item, or on SMIME content if the message is in MIME format.
There are two questions that are probably related to what you are seeing:
 - Are you using two different Notes ID files to read the message?
 - Are you using the same version of Lotus Notes on both systems?
If you open an encrypted message in the Notes API, and your current Notes ID file contains the correct private key to decrypt the message, then the message is automatically decrypted. This happens in a layer down below the LotusScrpt and Java APIs, so these APIs see that the document is not encrypted and return false. But apparently IBM changed this in version 8.5.2. Here's a link that reports that in 8.5.2 the isEncrypted() will return true. It seems that IBM has fixed the code so that it now knows the right answer even though the automatic decryption was already done.
And of course, if you open an encrypted message in the Notes API using a Notes ID file that doesn't contain the correct private key to decrypt the message, IsEncrypted() will always return true.

Thanks for replying Richard. I am using same notes id for reading the message. Yes there is two different versions. I am using lotus 8.5 and my testing system has lotus 8.0 on that. Is it version issue? – Sarma Oct 1 '12 at 16:55
This post on the IBM DeveloperWorks forum indicates that it is not a version problem until 8.5.2: www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/… – Richard Schwartz Oct 1 '12 at 19:22

Monroe Community College Sanitary Sewer Project
This project involved the design of 2,400 linear feet of gravity sanitary sewer along the frontage of Monroe Community College (MCC), a crossing of East Henrietta Road (NYS Route 15A) and installation through a narrow corridor between commercial buildings located on White Spruce Boulevard. The purpose of the sewer installation is to eliminate an existing sanitary sewer pump station.
Construction included crossing 5 lanes of traffic on East Henrietta Road and City of Rochester 24" water main through the installation of 145 LF for 24" diameter steel casing and PVC pipe through the bore and jack method of trenchless installation. This method was also used to cross two (2) of the MCC entrance roads to prevent disruption to the college. In addition, 250 linear feet of the sewer was installed by the horizontal directional drilling method through a narrow corridor located between several commercial buildings. The corridor is crowded with underground utilities and surface structures.
The trenchless pipe installation portion of the work was bid as four (4) different alternatives at the request of the Town of Brighton. These alternatives included:
- Horizontal Directional Drilling with high density polyethylene pipe (HDPE).
- Close Tolerance Horizontal Directional Drilling with restrained joint PVC pipe.
- Pilot Tube Micro-tunneling with hubless vitrified clay tile pipe.
- Bore and Jacking Method with steel casing and PVC pipe.
A combination of horizontal directional drilling and the bore and jacking method proved to be the most cost effective methods for performing the trenchless pipe installation in this location. The trenchless pipe installation was performed by a local contractor. The open trench pipe installation was performed by the Town of Brighton Sewer Department.

- Engineers can provide the government with advice on the research, information and funding needs.
- Engineers are central to the planning, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure networks.
- Formal linkages between engineers, scientists and other key stakeholders would promote the sharing of up-to-date information.
The Government is seeking closer collaboration with the island's engineers as it seeks to develop sound implementation strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Minister of Water, Land, Environment and Climate Change, Hon. Robert Pickersgill,said engineers have a key role to play in assisting the country to adapt to climate change and the Government would welcome the technical expertise that they provide in this area.
"Engineers can provide the government with advice on the research, information and funding needs that (it) requires to safeguard our infrastructure and communities that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change," the Minister said.
He was addressing the opening of the Jamaica Institution of Engineer (JIE) three-day conference at the Knutsford Court hotel in Kingston on September 24.
The Minister noted that engineers are central to the planning, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure networks which support economic activity and protect human health and welfare, and with climate change, major changes to the layout and use of these networks will therefore be required.
"This will ensure sufficient resilience to cope with foreseeable climate change impacts including an evaluation of the physical vulnerability of civil infrastructure such as road networks, water and sewerage systems and the energy grid," he said.
The Minister further noted that the creation of formal linkages between engineers, scientists and other key stakeholders which would promote the sharing of up-to-date information on best adaptive practices and regional climate datasets, could also provide input to government for setting research, legislative and expenditure priorities to support its climate change efforts.
"Regular and meaningful consultation between the engineering profession and the government on climate change policy is also required and I firmly believe that opportunities must be provided for professional engineers to acquire and upgrade their skills regarding new techniques and practices required to adapt to climate change," he said.
Minister Pickersgill further challenged engineers to seize the opportunities climate change presents to develop new, innovative infrastructure systems and services.
"Adaptation to climate change provides opportunities in the new green economy. New opportunities in engineering design and manufacturing will come from the development of low carbon renewable energy technologies including hydro, wind and solar; as will the building of resilience into existing infrastructure and designing new systems that are robust and efficient," he said.
Themed: 'Engineers Embracing Change', the event was held as part of activities to mark Engineers' Week which is being observed from September 22 to 29. Topics being discussed during the conference include the national building code; energy utilisation technology; climate change adaptation; construction and innovative design; manufacturing and industrial engineering; and risk management and disaster reduction.


Weighted Average Credit Rating
DEFINITION of 'Weighted Average Credit Rating'
The weighted average of all the bond credit ratings in a bond fund. The measure gives investors an idea of how risky a fund's bonds are overall. The lower the weighted average credit rating, the riskier the bond fund. The weighted average credit rating is expressed as a regular letter rating (AAA, BBB, CCC).
BREAKING DOWN 'Weighted Average Credit Rating'
To arrive at the weighted average credit rating, the calculation starts with dividing the value of each bond in the fund by the total value of the fund. This gives the individual bond weights. The weight of a bond in the fund determines how much that bond influences the weighted average credit rating. For example, if a bond fund has 95% AAA government bonds and 5% junk bonds, the bond fund would still have a weighted average credit rating of AAA.

The Baths of Caracalla (Italian: Terme di Caracalla) in Rome, Italy, were the second largest Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between AD 212 and 216, during the reign of the Emperor Caracalla. Chris Scarre provides a slightly longer construction period 211-217 AD. They would have had to install over 2,000 tons of material every day for six years in order to complete it in this time. Records show that the idea for the baths were drawn up by Septimius Severus, and merely completed or opened in the lifetime of Caracalla. This would allow for a longer construction timeframe.

inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

GODAN launches the Soil Data Working Group
The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), has launched a new working group on Soil Data Working Group, in cooperation with the Research Data Alliance and the Global Soil Partnership.
The working group was initially conceptualized during GODAN Summit 2016.The working group will closely interact with other initiatives related to the development of open soil standards promoting the exchange of digital soil data (OGC, ISO), and support and utilize these.
This Soil Data Working Group joins other existing working groups within the GODAN.
The objectives of the Soil Data Working Group
The Soil Data Working Group will pursue the following overarching objectives:
- to agree on a set of global soil data ontologies, thus supporting the provision of findable, well described, interoperable and re-usable soil data, and
- to define use cases so that data providers can better identify targeted key data sets and information products to support user needs,
- to support the development and implementation of shared open soil data through capacity building and training.
Soil data is gaining more and more interest among practitioners, but the main obstacle to its dissemination is the poor harmonization of data across the world. The Soil Data Working Group will work to achieve a stadarized language for open soil data. Many countries already have implemented a training for a common open soil data vocabulary, but the objective of the Soil Data WG is to have an easy-applicable exchange standard for this kind of data.
Planned activities of the group
- Launch of the working group by the GODAN Secretariat: February 2017
- First meeting: 3-4 April 2017, Barcelona: RDA-IGAD pre-meeting (RDA: Research Data Alliance, IGAD: Interest Group on Agricultural Data)
- Development of a ToR for the Soil Data Working Group (interested members not participating will be asked for statements of expectation, and can join per video)

How to use BitMap in Turbo C++
This simple program explain you about how to use BitMap in Turbo C++.
NOTE :Before Running this program you have to copy one file in your "bgi" directory. That file either you have to download from the net or i will provide you. The file name is "SVGA256.BGI". Copy this file at your " tc\bgi\ ". Your tc path. I am not able to attach this file because the file extension is not supported.. If you need this file, i will provide you.
1) You have to use the BitMap structure, there is no need to change anything in this structure. Just copy this structure in one of the.cpp file like "BitMap.cpp".
char type; /* Magic identifier */
unsigned long size; /* File size in bytes */
unsigned short int reserved1, reserved2;
unsigned long offset; /* Offset to image data, bytes */
extern A HEADER,HEADER1;
unsigned long size; /* Header size in bytes */
unsigned long width,height; /* Width and height of image */
unsigned short int planes; /* Number of colour planes */
unsigned short int bits; /* Bits per pixel */
unsigned long compression; /* Compression type */
unsigned long imagesize; /* Image size in bytes */
unsigned long xresolution,yresolution; /* Pixels per meter */
unsigned long ncolours; /* Number of colours */
unsigned long importantcolours; /* Important colours */
extern B INFOHEADER,INFOHEADER1;
2) In the main file i mean the file which contain the "main" function write this code.
// This Global Function is used for the resolution of the bitmap. You can set the return value either 1,2 or 3. For me 3 is the best combination.
int gd = DETECT, md, a;
initgraph(&gd,&md,"c:\\tc\\bgi"); //Path may be different in your computer.
//Suppose you have one show function which read the bitmap from the disk. Then this show function looks like this.
//Here you have to define the path of the bitmap file. Like according to this example i have to open one Board1.bmp file. So write you bitmap file path here.
unsigned char Ch;
File.read((char*)&HEADER,14); //This is the header part of the Bitmap. It always looks like same. Don't change the content hear. The value remains 14 here.
File.read((char*)&INFOHEADER,40); //This is another part of the bitmap, here also the value remains same like 40 here.
unsigned int i;
if(PaletteData)//if memory allocated successfully
//read color data
//Don't change the code here because i have done some shifting here. Its working fine.
outp(0x03c8,0); //tell DAC that data is coming
for(i=0;i<256*3;i++) //send data to SVGA DAC
for(i=0;i


Sites often require the functionality to create orders to be fulfilled repeatedly on a specific schedule, or to construct and save orders to be placed at a later date. You can use ATG Commerce to support these requirements through the use of scheduled orders.
In ATG Commerce, a scheduled Order object (of type scheduledOrder) maintains the schedule information for the scheduled order, and a template Order object maintains the order information for the scheduled order. The template Order object is a typical Order in the orderRepository, but it has a state of TEMPLATE. When a scheduled order is placed, the template order is cloned, and the cloned order is checked out and sent to Fulfillment. Consequently, the template Order is never processed, but simply serves as a prototype.
Template orders must include enough information, such as all necessary shipping and payment information, to process the cloned Order without further user interaction. A previously processed order or even the user's shopping cart (once the shipping and payment information has been specified) can be used to create a template order.
This section describes the ATG Commerce framework that supports scheduled orders and includes the following subsections:
For an example implementation of scheduled orders, see the Scheduling Orders section of the My Account chapter in the ATG Business Commerce Reference Application Guide.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited's (HAL) new light utility helicopter (LUH) has conducted its first technical flight in the Indian city of Bengaluru.
Carried out by HAL test pilots, the flight that lasted for 15 minutes marks an important and significant beginning for prototype testing of LUH.
The indigenously developed LUH will replace the ageing fleet of Cheetah and Chetak helicopters, which are currently in service with the Indian Air force.
The LUH is expected to achieve a sizeable share in both domestic and international market, HAL said in a statement.
It is said to be the third indigenous helicopter product from HAL after programmes such as advanced light helicopter and light combat helicopter.
Powered by a Safran HE Ardiden-1U engine of 750Kw power, the LUH has a range of 350km, service ceiling 6.5km.
The helicopter has a maximum all-up-weight (AUW) of 3,150kg and can accommodate eight people in total, including two pilots.
It can be used for various missions such as reconnaissance, transport, cargo load and rescue operations. According to the company, the helicopter can operate from sea level to high-altitudes.
The Indian Armed Forces would need up to 400 LUHs for use in surveillance, reconnaissance, quick response, special operations and evacuations, The Hindu reported.
Of them, 187 would be ordered from HAL for Army and Air Force.

How To Grow Sodium Nitrate Crystals
Sodium Nitrate crystals
Vadim Sedov/Wikimedia Commons/CC by 4.0
Sodium nitrate is a common chemical, found in food, fertilizer, glass enamel, and pyrotechnics. Sodium nitrate, NaNO3, forms colorless hexagonal crystals. Although these crystals are a bit more challenging to grow than some of the beginner crystals, the interesting crystal structure makes them worth the effort. The crystal somewhat resembles calcite, exhibiting some of the same properties. Sodium nitrate crystals can be used to examine double refraction, cleavage, and glide.
Sodium Nitrate Crystal Growing Solution
 1. Dissolve 110 grams sodium nitrate per 100 ml hot water. This will be a supersaturated solution. One method of growing crystals is to allow this solution to cool in an undisturbed location and allow it to produce crystals as the liquid evaporates.
 2. Another method of growing this crystal is to grow a single crystal in a sealed container from a supersaturated solution. If you choose to follow this method, prepare the aforementioned solution, allow this solution to cool, then add a couple of grains of sodium nitrate and seal the container. The excess sodium nitrate will deposit on the grains, producing a saturated sodium nitrate solution. Allow a couple of days for this to occur.
 3. Pour off the saturated solution. Pour a small amount of this solution into a shallow dish. Allow the liquid to evaporate, to produce small seed crystals. Select a crystal or two for further growth.
 4. To prepare the supersaturated growing solution, to your existing solution add 3 grams of sodium nitrate per 100 ml of water in the original solution. So, if you prepared 300 ml of solution, you would add an extra 9 grams of sodium nitrate.
 5. Carefully add your seed crystal to this liquid. You can suspend the crystal from a nylon monofilament. A nylon monofilament or wire is used because it won't wick up the solution, causing evaporation.
 6. Seal the jar and allow the crystals to grow at a constant temperature, someplace they won't be disturbed. Sodium nitrate is very sensitive to temperature changes, so maintaining a constant temperature is important. If you have difficulty maintaining a temperature, you can place the sealed jar inside a water bath. If you don't see crystal growth after a few days, try lowering the temperature slightly.

To enter, fourth through 12th grade students should write personal letters to authors, living or dead, from any genre explaining how those authors' work changed the students' way of thinking about the world or themselves.
Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges from throughout the state. The finalists' entries will be submitted to the Library of Congress for the national competition.
Last year's Letters About Literature contest resulted in 1,097 entries, up from 42 entries in 2008 before the State Library was a sponsor.
"We are so pleased with the increase in student participation in Letters About Literature since we became a sponsor two years ago. This particular program is an exceptional way for us to encourage our youth to read," State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton said. "Because participation in the contest requires reflective reading, the contest emphasizes the personal rewards to be gained from the reading experience."
Louisiana language arts teachers and home-school instructors along with school, public children and public young adult librarians are encouraged to visit the Letters About Literature website for more information and lessons plans, and to incorporate Letters About Literature into their curricula and programming.
Submissions must be sent directly to the national Letters About Literature address, which can be found by visiting the links _URL_ or _URL_.


Object.defineProperties (seemingly) requires transactional behaviour
Oliver Hunt oliver at apple.com
Mon Sep 21 18:35:04 PDT 2009
To have a truly correct implementation of Object.defineProperties (as
currently defined) an implementation would in effect have to implement
transaction updates to Objects, as [[DefineOwnProperty]] is
polymorphic and behaviour cannot be guaranteed.
As a simple example (excluding host objects even)
myArray = [1,2,3,4];
Object.defineProperties(myArray, {length: {value:2}, 2:{value:4}})
Even if an implementation were to implement two versions of
[[DefineOwnProperty]] for every object (one that did the logic to
determine whether a given call to [[DefineOwnProperty]] was correct,
one that actually defined it -- and this behaviour should be
specified, currently the definition of defineOwnProperties seems
woefully inadequate), both the assignment to length and the assignment
to property 2 are valid during preflight. Once we call
[[DefineOwnProperty]] with the intention of actually setting the
values we set the length property, subsequently removing the property
2, which in turn means that setting property 2 must fail.
This is nuts -- i am leaning towards the belief that defineProperty,
defineProperties, seal, preventExtensions, et al. should only work
when applied to pure objects, not any host object, nor any of the
special builtins. All other paths seems to lead to absurd and/or
complex and unexpected behaviour.

Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Dogs run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch neither dog nor obstacles.
Consequently the handler's controls are limited to voice, movement, and various body signals, requiring exceptional training of the animal and coordination of the handler.
In its simplest form, an agility course consists of a set of standard obstacles laid out by a judge in a design of his or her own choosing in an area of a specified size. The surface may be of grass, dirt, or rubber. Depending on the type of competition, the obstacles may be marked with numbers indicating the order in which they must be completed.
Courses are complicated enough that a dog could not complete them correctly without human direction. In competition, the handler must assess the course, decide on handling strategies, and direct the dog through the course, with precision and speed equally important. Many strategies exist to compensate for the inherent difference in human and dog speeds and the strengths and weaknesses of the various dogs and handlers.

Scheduling Custom Django Management Commands
Last updated October 18, 2021
Create a custom management command
Create the Python file
Custom Django management commands are nested within a Django project's apps. For this tutorial, if the Django project contains more than one app, decide which app the custom management command will most closely relate to, and use that app to follow the steps below.
A Django project contains one or more apps. In this tutorial, you'll be working within one of the apps and not the overall Django project.
The Python file that contains the code for the custom command is nested inside several directories:
- At the root level of the Django app, create a directory called
commandscreate a file named something similar to
print_book_titles.py. Stylistically, the name you choose for this file should reference the outcome of the task when it runs.
At this stage, the app's file tree will look similar to this:
Django automatically maps the name of the command file to the command that is run in the CLI (
python manage.py print_book_titles)
Code the command's logic
The following code snippet is for a short custom management command. View the Django documentation on Writing custom django-admin commands for guidance on more complex needs.
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError
from some_app.models import Book
help = 'Prints all book titles in the database'
books = Book.objects.all()
for book in books:
self.stdout.write(self.style.ERROR('Field "title" does not exist.'))
self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS('Successfully printed all Book titles'))
return statement at the end of each logical flow of the
handle() function so Heroku Scheduler knows when it can shut down. This ensures you are only charged for dyno time that is needed to run the job.
Verify the command works as expected
Ensure the command works by running it in a one-off dyno:
- From the CLI, run
heroku run bash -a your-app-name
- Navigate to the directory containing
python manage.py
Setup Heroku Scheduler
Provision the Add-on
Schedule the job
Open the Heroku Scheduler tool by following the steps in Heroku Scheduler - Scheduling Jobs. When prompted, enter
python manage.py as the command to run.
manage.py file is not at the root level of the Heroku app's git repo, the command that is run within Heroku Scheduler will need to first navigate to the directory that contains the
manage.py file. The command would look something like
cd my-project && python manage.py .

HEATMAP displays a matrix as an image whose color intensities reflect the magnitude of its values. In addition, it enables you to specify the following properties:
* X- and Y-axes tick labels:
Display the row/column indices or any other numeric or text labels. X-axis tick labels can even be rotated.
* Text labels:
Overlay the heatmap image with formatted text labels. The text labels can be derived from the original numeric matrix or a different matrix or cell array for displaying another dimension of data. You can control the font size and font color of the labels. The labels update automatically with zooming, panning or resizing the figure.
* Custom color maps:
Use MATLAB's default color maps or specify your own. The function provides two additional color maps - "money" (shown in the example image) and "red" (a color map of red color intensities). Specify Linear or Logarithmic color maps and the number of color levels. You can even use different color maps for different heat maps within a figure.
* Other configurable parameters such as grid lines, color bars.
For detailed examples, see the associated document heatmap_examples.m
NOTE: If using rotated tick labels, HEATMAP will resize the axes to make room for the tick labels. When overwriting existing heatmap plots with a new heatmap, use CLF to first clear the figure. See heatmap_examples for an illustration.

How to turn on vox function?

How to turn on vox function in analog and digital radio? You can turn on it by software, some radios can be turned on by the keyboard.
What is VOX, and how does it work?
VOX stands for "Voice Operated Exchange". To put it in simple terms, that just means voice-activated transmission. With this mode switched on, the two-way radio is always listening out for human speech. It does this by detecting tiny changes in the air pressure. It then automatically starts transmitting when someone starts talking. Once you stop, the handset will stop transmitting, so that you can hear the other person's reply.
How to turn on vox function in digital radio?
Taking RT3s as an example:
In Menu Item, please check the vox function to make sure it appears in the Utilities- Radio setting of walkie talkie.
How to turn on vox function
turn on RT3S vox function
In VFO mode, the same way you need to check the vox function to make sure you can program the VOX manually.
Menu-Utilities-Radio Setting-VOX-Turn On.
Retevis RT3s
You can set the VOX sensitivity in your radio
Menu-Utilities-Program Radio-VOX
The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity.
There's a video to introduce detail on how to use VOX Function on Retevis RT3S
How to turn on vox function in analog radio?
Taking RT22s as an example:
In optional features, pls check vox function by software. At the same time, you also change vox level and vox delay time
Besides you can set vox function by software, you also turn in it by the keyboard.
There's a more simple way by the keyboard to turn on/off vox function
Pls firstly change channels to 7 and turn off radio, then press' ch+' and turn on radio you will hear vox on
Retevis RT22 vox function

The vox function make your hands free so most of radios h have this function, if you have any questions pls feel free to contact us by email, _EMAIL_

Does Apollo Currency depend on Bitcoin? According to the correlation analysis, BTC and APL have a very strong positive relationship. The correlation coefficient of their values is 0.71, which was measured based on the last 100-days' price fluctuations of both currencies.
This coefficient may vary from -1 to 1, where -1 is the strongest negative correlation, 0 is no correlation at all and 1 is the strongest positive correlation.
The negative coefficient indicates that the prices of the coins are moving in the reversed direction while the positive coefficient indicates that the prices are moving in the identical direction. For example, if Bitcoin and Apollo Currency connection is positively strong, it means that when BTC is growing APL will rise as well. The negative strong relation will show that when BTC is rising APL price will be in contrary lowering.
The knowledge of the correlation coefficient helps to determine in percentage the influence of Bitcoin over Apollo Currency. If we take all the factors affecting the price of APL as 100%, then the share of BTC price among these factors will be 50.41%. The other part which is 49.59% covers all the other aspects, such as news, events or crypto related laws.


Matrix routing effect due to category scope
This forum deals with any kind of routing computation whether it is simple A:B-routing, calculation of isochrones, simple matrix computation or nearest search.
Matrix routing effect due to category scope
Postby Bernd Welter » Mon Mar 12, 2018 12:01 pm
HI there,
today I was asked for the reason why a relation (A=>B1)'s routing result differs within a matrix routing if another waypoint B2 is added to the calculateMatrixInfo request.
In other words:
The client computed the two transactions based on
A : (B1)
A : (B1,B2)
and compared the partial results of the (A:B1) which differed.
I created some images that explain what causes this behaviour which occurs whenever a routing is based on levelling (uses the category scope):
CategoryScope-no Intermediate station.png
IMagine the calculation with just the two waypoints A and B1. In the proximity of both waypoints the temporary data structures used to calculate the track contain a detailed streetnetwork but outside the circles the temporary network is based on NC0, NC1, NC2 only. SO outside the cirles the vehicle moves on higher street categories. The yellow polygon shows the geometry of the result track
CategoryScope-Intermediate station.png
By adding the B2 and it's proximity area the temporary structures are different from those used in the previous scenario and therefor the algorithm finds additional opportunities to get from A to B1. The solution is the greeen line.
CategoryScope-both.png
THis image just shows both solutions at one glance. As you can see the green track is a bit shorter.
To avoid such a behaviour you could ether set the category scope of all NC's to -1, but keep in mind:
 - bad impact on performance because many more segments have to be evaluated
 - maybe tracks returned you don't want to (would you really want to leave the highway in the middle of a 600km route just to save 1-2 km of total distance?)
This effect does not occur when you apply search graph routing because this mechanism is so incredibly fast that it does no longer require leveling.
Best regards,
Bernd

Essential job skills required for commerce graduates
Essential job skills required for commerce graduates
job skills required for commerce students
If you are following the latest job trends from up close, you'd know the importance of having relevant job skills. Be it any field of study, companies are more inclined towards candidates with appropriate job skills.
Talking about different fields of education, commerce is arguably the second most popular field of graduation in India; after engineering. The field owes its popularity to the gamut of employment opportunities that crop up after graduation in commerce.
It is an extensive field to make a career in Accountancy, Finance, Management, Economics, Law, Taxation, Banking, Human Resource, and Export-Import; to name a few.
Also, the stream of commerce is continuously evolving and growing and developing which means there is a constant need for students to stay updated with the latest trends in business, finance and, economics.
So, not just academic knowledge, students must also possess the necessary job skills that make them perfect for jobs.
Upon conducting skill assessments, we have realized that there is a huge talent gap between the kind of abilities that students learn in college and what corporates really need.
So, if you're an aspiring commerce graduate with a fancy degree but no job skills, give this one a read.
Essential job skills for commerce graduates
A mere degree is not enough for you to fetch respectable jobs. There is a need for some on-the-job skills that students must master before they make their way into the corporate world.
The right kind of job skills makes you more employable for any corporate organization. As for students, job skills can help you advance your professional career faster than any degree or diploma. Whether it be non-technical skills or technical skills for commerce students, you should always be hands-on and showcase that you know what you are bringing to the table.
Here are some of the most essential job skills required for jobs –
Numeracy skills
In order to have a bright career in a commerce-related field, you must have excellent numeracy skills. You must already know that jobs in fields of finance, data management, taxes and banking do consider your aptitude with numbers while recruitment. You should be able to understand and work with numerical and graphical information, draw conclusions, and explain your findings.

Communication skills
Given the well-paying standards and growth prospects of management jobs, most commerce students opt for a career with such corporate.
Now, working in a multi-national corporate honcho requires you to be a great communicator along with being a good manager.
So, great communication skills qualify as 'must-have' job skills for commerce students. Right from managing clients to internal team to delivering board room presentations; a commerce student must ace all of it.
Problem-solving ability
Almost all employers wish to hire problem solvers for all their job vacancies. The capability to draw out practical, economical, and effective solutions, is expected out of all commerce graduates.
Remember, all products and services that exist today are nothing but solutions to some or the other day-to-day problems of our lives. For instance: Why do we have cars when we can commute through bikes? The car designers dissected the problem of travelling long distances and travelling with family. So, this leads to the innovation of a product that eased long distance and family travels and today we call them cars.
Great problem-solving skills show how well you perform in alternative case scenarios.
Leadership skills
The commerce graduation courses are designed for those who have the potential to become leaders and be part of the team that works towards the same goal.
As a commerce graduate, you must possess excellent team management and leadership job skills because this is what the corporate world is about. The employers want to hire team players who will eventually turn into great team leaders instead of lone wolves.

This is because we are all cog in the wheel, not the wheel itself. The organization needs you and a hundred others like you to operate.
Besides the basics of economics, business, finance and, management that you've learnt in college there are plenty of job skills that should be mastered. Analytical thinking, knowledge of MS Excel, verbal and written communication ability, time management, organizational skills are some more of the job skills that you should continuously hone in order to rise up the corporate ladder.

New Bilibid Prison
The New Bilibid Prison (NBP) (also known as the National Bilibid Prison), located in Muntinlupa City, Philippines, is one of the seven and most famous main insular correctional facilities for convicted male prisoners in the Philippines. The institution is operated and maintained by various Philippine government agencies, particularly, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Bureau of Corrections, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Often called the "Bilibid", the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City was not the original prison facility that carries the Bilibid moniker. The old Bilibid prison located in the Mayhalique Estate in Oroquieta Street Sta. Cruz, Manila was built by the Spanish authorities in 1847 to incarcerate prisoners during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. The prison was established in accordance to a decree issued by the office of the Governor General or Section 1708 of the Revised Administrative Code. It was then formally opened by a royal decree in 1865. The penitentiary was divided into two main buildings. One is known as the 'Carcel' which can accommodate 600 prisoners. Prisoners incarcerated in the Carcel were divided according to class, sex, and the degree of the crimes they had committed. The other main building in the prison compound was called the 'Presidio'. This building was designed to accommodate 527 prisoners. All in all, before it was referred to as the Bilibid prison, this main Spanish-era prison facility was called the 'Carcel y Presidio Correcional'.
At the start of the 20th century, during the early American colonial rule, a modern 200 bed capacity hospital was added to the old Bilibid prison compound. A carpentry workshop was also built for the prisoners to hone their skills in woodworking and later to sell their crafts.
During the Commonwealth era under the presidency of Manuel Quezon, a growing number of prisoners admitted in the old Bilibid prison (this is due to an increased population and rapid urbanization of Manila) paved way for the creation and implementation of Commonwealth Act No. 67 ordering the construction of a new national prison facility in Muntinlupa City to replace the old Bilibid prison. The construction of the new prison compound started in 1935 with a budget of 1,000,000 Philippine pesos.
All prisoners incarcerated in the old Bilibid compound were transferred to the new prison facility in Muntinlupa city on November 15, 1940. At that time, the new penitentiary can accommodate up to 3,000 prisoners. On January 22, 1941, in a small ceremony attended by government officials and other luminaries, the new prison compound became officially known as the New Bilibid Prison.
