Frequently Asked Questions
In this section one finds a number of FAQ answered.
1. How many casualties fell during the May War in the Netherlands?
The Dutch army lost 2,300 men KIA during the five days of war in the Netherlands (including the eight days in the province Zeeland). The number of WIA is not specifically known, but over 7,000 men were treated for wounds suffered during the war days. Probably a significant number suffered only light wounds and were not registered at all.
The German army losses during the battle for the Netherlands were almost identical to the Dutch losses. About 2,100 registered KIA, perhaps slightly higher.
The number of German military WIA is unknown. The benchmark ratio KIA:WIA gives an average of one KIA to 3,5 to 4 WIA, which would lead to a German WIA ratio of 7,000 - 8,000 men.
The Dutch expedited around 1,300 German POW's to the UK. These men were German write-offs for the duration of the war. The bulk of this number comprised Luftwaffe personnel as well as airlanded infantry of 22nd Infantry Division and airbornes from the Hague theatre of operations.
The French army lost 206 registered KIA in the Netherlands. In Noord-Brabant 62 and in Zeeland 154. The number of wounded is unknown, as is the number of POW's. Numbers of 800 WIA are mentioned in the buzz, but have up to now not been substantiated by reliable sources. Some estimates say that around 3,000 Frenchmen were captured in the Netherlands during the periode 10-18 May 1940. But these estimates are non-substantiated either and probably too low.
2. What were the strengths of the opposing forces?
The Dutch army had a total force of around 280,000 men under arms in May 1940. Often foreign sources erroneously mention figures of 350,000 - 400,000. That is wrong and very inaccurate.
The Dutch army comprised 240,000 men and around 40,000 men in other branches (army air force, coastal artillery defences, volunteer formations). The navy and marines (in the Netherlands) had some 10,000 more, not included in the 280.000.
The Dutch army was only partially organized in field army units. Often foreign sources only mention the major field army units, being eight infantry divisions (organised in four army corpses), one independant division (Peel-division) and one light (mobile) division. Besides these large units there were three field army brigades (A, B and G) and 30 independant border infantry battalions and companies. The fortress army had no divisional structure. It was organised in companies, battalions and regiments only. The fortress army, that occupied the defences within the Fortress Holland and Zeeland province, contained the bulk of elder reservists.
The Dutch army had 48 infantry regiments (2,200 - 2,500 men each), 24 independant Border Infantry Battalions (around 700 men each), a number of Border Infantry Companies and two regiments of bicylce infantry. Furthermore 2 regiments of motorbike-infantry, 6 regiments of cavalry (partially horse, partially bicycle mounted), 15 independant regiments of artillery comprising three battalions each, 4 independant regiments of artillery comprising two battalions each and 8 independant artillery battalions. The total number of active artillery pieces was 692 (excluding the obsolete 8-staal guns; excluding 6-veld and AT guns).
Next to these combattant forces there was a large representation of non-com formations, like engineers, pioneers, logistics, medical troops, etc.etc..
For further specifics we refer to the Introduction chapter on this website.
The German army assigned the 18th Armee to the Dutch theatre. This army comprised 10.Corps (two infantry divisions, two SS regiments, one occupational division of brigade strength), 26. Corps (six divisions, including one tank division and one SS division) and the independant 1st Cavalry Division. The Luftwaffe provided the 7th Flieger Korps comprising the (two regiments strong) 7th Airborne Division and the 22.Infantry Airlanding Division (reinforced by a battalion of IR.72). The strength of the 18.Armee was about 180,000 men. The combined Airlanding Corps had an operational strength of about 12,000 men (3,500 airbornes; 8,500 airlanding troops).
On the first two days of the invasion two divisions of the 6th Armee covered the left flank of the 26.Corps in Noord-Brabant. Furthermore the bulk of the 6th Armee crossed the most southeastern province of the Netherlands (Limburg), where on the first day some units opposed the few Dutch battalions defending the Meuse region in Limburg. Although these numbers are significant, they should not be added to the invasion force for the Dutch theatre, for they were designated to invade Belgium.
All in all the strength of the German invasion force opposing the Dutch was around 200,000 men landforces (including Students' Airlanding Corps).
3. Who were the most principal commanders on either side?
The Dutch Commander in Chief was General Henri G. Winkelman. He was commander of the Dutch land-, airand navy forces in the homeland. He had become CiC in February 1940. His was preluded by General I.H. Reynders, who was sacked in January 1940 over a dispute (with the Dutch cabinet) on the defense strategy.
The commander of the Field Army was Lieutenant-General J.J.G. (Baron) van Voorst tot Voorst. His younger brother General-Major H.F.M. (Baron) van Voorst tot Voorst was chief of the army staff. Commander Fortress Holland was Lieutenant-General J. van Andel.
Commander of the Air-Defence and Army Air Force was Lieutenant-General. P.W. Best.
The commander of the Dutch navy was the chief of navy staff Vice-Admiral J.T. Furstner.
The four army Corpses were led by General-Major N.T. Carstens [1.Corps], General-Major J. Harberts [2.Corps], General-Major A.A. van Nijnatten [3.Corps] and General-Major A.R. van den Bent [4.Corps].
The German Commander in Chief of the operations in the Netherlands was the commander of the 18.Armee, General der Artillerie Georg von Küchler. His direct superior was the Commander Heeresgruppe B, Generaloberst von Bock.
The operations of the 7th Fliegerkorps [commanded by Generalleutnant der Flieger Kurt Student] in Fortress Holland were developed and led by the Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe Hermann Göring (and his staff), and the Commander Luftflotte 2, Generalleutnant von Kesselring was commander of the Luftwaffe operations in the Netherlands.
The most principle German units were commanded by Generalleutnant K. Student [7th Airborne Corps and commander of 7th Flieger Division], Generalleutnant Graf von Sponeck [22.ID], General-major Kurt Feldt [1.Cav.Div.], General der Artillerie Christian Hansen [10.Corps], General der Artillerie Albert Wodrig [26.Corps], Generalleutnant Schmidt [commander of 39.Corps, which was activated as of 13 May 1940] and Generalmajor Ritter von Hubicki [9.Panzer Division].
4. Was the Lex Belli [or Ius in Bello, law of war] often infringed by the belligerents, or was it generally respected?
The internation code, mainly given shape by Geneva and Hague conventions, was mandatory to and (generally) respected by all belligerents in May 1940 in the Dutch theatre.
There were the inevitable occasional infringements too. The Dutch and the Germans both recorded some infringements of the other side and for both sides there is proof of some incidents that were mild, or occasionally gross, infringements in itself. Here and there a prisoner of war was abused, assaulted or even shot on the spot (both sides were guilty of those occasional attrocities), and quite a number of incidents were recorded where either side abused the white flag or the international sign of the red cross.
There is one remarkable exception, where the Ius in Bello was quite generally disregarded by one particular German unit. This occurs during the operations of the SS regiment Der Führer during the three days' battle of the Grebbeberg. There is sufficient proof that the laws of war were poorly adhered to (to say the least) during the SS operations on 11, 12 and 13 of May 1940. There were several incidents involving massacres in the trenches (especially on the 11th of May), systematic abuse of POW's and particularly the common use of POW's as human shields against opposing fire. These infringements were reported and sometimes proven in such an overwhelming quantity that it is very likely that some sort of methodical abuse was applicable. This only applies


Windows Programming
.NET 1.1+
Mouse Clipping
Specialised applications can require that the mouse pointer is limited to a fixed portion of the screen, known as a clipping rectangle. This region can be determined and controlled by reading and setting a property of a standard.NET class.
Clipping Rectangles
Under normal circumstance the mouse pointer can be moved freely within the rectangle defined by the screen. This area is the clipping rectangle. You can change the boundaries of the rectangle to restrict the pointer movement. This is useful for specialised applications where the user should not click items outside of the rectangle.
Changing the mouse clipping rectangle should be done with care. Although the clipping is removed by switching between applications or by showing the Windows Start menu, adding clipping can be frustrating for novice users. Those who are unaware of keyboard controls may decide to power down their system unnecessarily to remove the clipping.
Getting the Clipping Rectangle
You can retrieve the current clipping rectangle boundaries using the Clip property of the Cursor class. This static property returns a Rectangle structure containing the position and size of the clipping region. The Cursor class is found in the System.Windows.Forms namespace and Rectangle is in System.Drawing, so add the following using directives:
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
The code below shows the current clipping rectangle in a message box:
Setting the Clipping Rectangle
The Clip property may be used to constrain the mouse pointer within a specified rectangle. If the mouse pointer is not within the rectangle and the application changing the Clip property is active, the pointer will be moved to a valid position. The following sample code restricts the pointer to a 101 pixel square at the top left corner of the screen:
Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);
A common way to limit the pointer is to use the boundaries of a Windows control. First you convert the client rectangle of the control to screen co-ordinates and then apply them to the Clip property. The code below limits the mouse pointer to the boundaries of a panel control named, "MyPanel".
Cursor.Clip = MyPanel.RectangleToScreen(MyPanel.ClientRectangle);
Clearing the Clipping Rectangle
When you no longer require the clipping you should remove it. To do so, set the Clip property value to Rectangle.Empty, as follows:
Cursor.Clip = Rectangle.Empty;

I have a set of PowerShell scripts that include a "common" script, located in the same folder, like this:
# some-script.ps1
$scriptDir = Split-Path -Parent $myinvocation.mycommand.path
. "$scriptDir\script-utils.ps1"
This is fine if the script is called directly, e.g.
However, if the script is called with Invoke-Command, this does not work:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 -FilePath "X:\some-script.ps1"
In this case, infact, $myinvocation.mycommand contains the contents of the script, and $myinvocation.mycommand.path is null.
How can I determine the script's directory in a way that works also when the script is invoked with Invoke-Command?
In the end, this is the solution I actually used:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 '
 {param($scriptArg); & X:\some-script.ps1 $scriptArg } '
 -ArgumentList $something
This also allows passing parameters to the script.

I don't believe you can, from within the invoked script. From get-help invoke-command:
-FilePath Runs the specified local script on one or more remote computers. Enter the path and file name of the script, or pipe a script path to Invoke-Command. The script must reside on the local computer or in a directory that the local computer can access. Use the ArgumentList parameter to specify the values of parameters in the script.
 **When you use this parameter, Windows PowerShell converts the contents of the specified script file to a script
 block, transmits the script block to the remote computer, and runs it on the remote computer.**
When you use invoke-command using the -filepath parameter, the script is read from the file on the local computer, converted to a script block, and that's what gets passed to the remote computer. The remote computer doesn't have any way of knowing if that script block was read from a file.
For the remote computer to know what that original file path was, you'll have to tell it. I think the easiest way to do that would be to write a function to do the invocation, and have it pass the filename to the invoked script as a parameter.

alternatively rather than using filepath.. you could pass in a scriptblock, that dotsources the script from a UNC path that all machines have access to. However each machine will need to have the appropriate executionpolicy set so that they can run that script from the UNC path
let me be clear though, that i'm not saying to run the script from the UNC path as if that does the remoting, but still using invoke-command or start-job to run a scriptblock on a remote computer. It just happens that that scriptblock will run the script from a UNC path for convenience.

Supporting Volunteers - British Gymnastics
Supporting Volunteers
Recruiting new volunteers
When individuals are asked why they don't volunteer, the most common answer given is "because no one asked". You will often find that there are people within your club and community with the time and energy needed to support your club or event. It's just how you go about finding them. A good place to start is with parents of your gymnasts and previous club members. Why not design a leaflet or poster to display on your noticeboard, letting people know you are looking for volunteers. Be specific, detailing the role(s) you would like the volunteer to fill, how much time it is likely to take and what skills and attributes would be useful for the role. Individuals are much more likely to put themselves forward if they understand the level of commitment you are asking them to take on. Consider what your club does in terms of an induction process for volunteers.
Retaining volunteers
Once you've spent time, money and effort recruiting volunteers, it is important you do what you can to keep your volunteer involved: this will help with continuity at your club. Develop ways to maintain/improve the relationship between your volunteer and the club, for example by offering training for your volunteers.
Ensure that your volunteers feel valued, regardless or their role in club. It is important they know they contribute to the running of the club. This will help them to remain motivated and continue contributing because they can see the impact they are having.
Recognising volunteers
Recognition of time and effort is important to ensure volunteers feel appreciated. Learn what motivates each volunteer, and make your recognition appropriate to what they think is important. There are many ways you can recognise your volunteers, for example;
 - Thank your volunteer at the end of the session or send a Thank You letter after an event
 - Announce your volunteers at events and thank them for their hard work and commitment in front of the audience.
 - Organising a volunteer social evening
 - Nominate your volunteers for awards such as the British Gymnastics Volunteer of the Year Award, regional volunteers awards, or local sports awards operated by local councils. Even if your volunteer doesn't win, they will appreciate you recognising them by being nominated.
 - Write about your volunteers and put an article on your club noticeboard, in your club newsletter or send the it to your local newspaper.
 - Provide your volunteers with T-shirts. It will make them feel part of the team.

Jannat al-Baqi (also spelt Jannat ul-Baqi) is a famous cemetery in Madinah, located right across from the Masjid al-Nabawi. It is well known since many of Muhammad's relatives and companions are buried here, and due to its sanctity. Its name means "Tree Garden of Heaven". Many traditions relate Muhammad issuing a prayer everytime he passed the cemetery.
Prior to the twentieth century, many of the graves were covered with domes or other structures. However, after the city of Madinah was taken by the forces of Ibn Saud, many of these buildings and tombs were destroyed, in order to keep with the Wahhabi ideal of not worshipping graves. Thus, the graveyard is now no more than a vast lot with some crude headstones made of rocks. Despite this, the graves of many historic figures continue to be visited by numerous pilgrims. Burials continue at the cemetery to this day as well.
People Buried at Jannat al-Baqi
- Muhammad's son Ibrahim who died in infancy
- Fatima Zahra, Muhammad's daughter
- Many of Muhammad's aunts
- Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, uncle of Muhammad
- Hasan ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad and Shia Imam
- Ali ibn Husayn, great-grandson of Muhammad, and Shia Imam

How To Paint Wrought Iron Fence and Railings?
How To Paint Wrought Iron Fence
Admit it! You attempted to paint a wrought iron fence/railing, and you felt like this is the most challenging task you ever had to face.
And I know it is a difficult activity, which is why I've created the following step-by-step guide to help you paint a wrought iron fence with little to no hassle.
How to Paint a Wrought Iron Fence?
Follow these simple yet best ways to paint wrought iron railings and I am sure you will have your cast iron fence and railings painted within no time.
Step 1. Get the surface ready
As it is the case with almost anything, you need to start by preparing the wrought iron surface.
This means that you need to make sure there is no rust on your iron fence.
Our advice is to wear protective gear, including gloves and a mask, as the particles of rust can pose a health risk when removed from the railing fence.
Step 2. Remove the rust
So, you need to remove the rust, and you should start this process only after you put on the protective gear.
To remove the rust, you can use a steel brush or high grit sandpaper.
Keep in mind that it might take some time before you manage to clear the entire surface, as rust tends to be hard to remove.
Step 3. Clean the fence
Now that you removed rust, you need to clean the fence to make sure there is no debris left.
You can wash the fence with mineral spirits, as those will remove anything that might stick to your iron fence.
Step 4. Rinse with water
And, of course, after spraying mineral spirits and cleaning the face, it is best to rinse the fence with water.
Make sure you remove the substance entirely, as it can have a direct impact on how the paint adheres to your iron fence railing.
Step 5. Apply a primer
After the fence dries, you can start applying a primer.
Make sure you use only specially created priming material for metals like wrought iron, as it can make a lot of difference for your paint.
It can increase the lifespan of the paint as an excellent primer allows the paint to adhere adequately.
And, of course, will enable the primer to dry for at least 24 hours.
Step 6. Apply paint for metal surfaces
Follow the primer with a specially designed paint blend.
Make sure you use the specific paint that is designed for metal surfaces, as not all varnishes are the same.
For the application, it's recommended that you use a high-quality paint-brush and apply the paint in long even strokes very slowly.
Since you will be painting the thin metal railings, using a roller or a paint sprayer isn't a good option.
If used it can create lots of oversprays and hence wasted paint material.
Step 7. Follow up with several coats of paint
After the initial coat of paint, you can follow up with several layers. This will ensure you will achieve a smooth and pleasant finish.
But at the same time, it can boost the lifespan of your paint job.
Applying several paint layers to your wrought iron railing and fence can increase its ability to withstand wear and tear in time.
And as a result, you won't need to repaint it too often.
So, following these seven steps is the best way for you to paint a wrought iron fence. And we can tell you that it is rather simple.
All you have to do is be attentive to small details and make sure you apply the right paint to your fence.
What is the Best Paint for Wrought Iron Fence and Railings?
For me, Rust-Oleum Protective Enamel Paint that comes in the black satin finish has worked fabulously in most cases.
It offers excellent coverage and dries to the touch in about 2-4 hours.
Moreover, with its excellent rust prevention abilities, it can help keep the wrought iron fence just like new for very long.
For metal fencing, personally, I prefer using satin rather than flat paint because it helps in keeping some natural shine of the metal intact.
But remember, like oil and water, paint and metal do not tend to mix.
In other words, paint does not stick to metal the same way that it sticks to wood.
That is why professional painters will use a substance that is not paint – if they need to cover the surface of the metal.
Before we come to those best paints or substances that can be used for painting wrought iron railings, let us try to understand why metal resists paint in the first place?
The reason why paint tends to slide off most metal is pretty simple. The surface of metal consists of a crystalline structure.
This structure is what gives the metal its strength and why it is used for creating so many things such as skyscrapers.
It's also why metal is better than wood for use outdoors as it resists penetration by water.
However, this same crystalline structure that makes metal so strong also does not give the paint the irregularities its needs to stick to the surface.
Paint sticks because, at a microscopic level, many materials such as wood for example have imperfections that allow the paint to take hold.
The rough surface, pits, and the like give the paint something to hold on to when it dries.
Metal has few such imperfections, so the paint tends to slide off fairly easily.
What imperfections metal does have tends to keep paint from sticking as well.
This is because the surface consists of small pits or dents along with long crevasses that provide little grab for the paint.
But will allow water and oils to become trapped underneath which over time will disrupt the paint on the surface.
However, while most metal may resist paint, it does not resist oxidation which leads to it rusting fairly quickly unless protected.
So, What Paint to Use and How to Prevent Wrought Iron Fence from Rusting?
Before you go and pick the best type of paint for wrought iron fences and railings, be sure that you choose the right primer.
Priming your cast iron fence using a correct base coat (a rust-inhibiting primer base) is very important since this will decide how hard the top finish coat will adhere when you paint the railings.
For most of the bare wrought iron surfaces, acid-based metal-etching primer provides the lasting base that can help you provide a better-painted finish.
Make sure that you do not choose latex or acrylic primers as they will not bond very well to the wrought iron surface due to their smooth and nonporous qualities.
Now when you have picked the right primer, it's time to choose the best paint for the surface.
The two types of paints that are well-suited for outdoor wrought iron fencing are:
1- Enamel
Being highly durable, exterior-grade enamel is best for exterior conditions.
Painting your wrought iron railings with enamel will help them keep off rust, corrosion, and various other environmental conditions.
Plus, an exterior-grade enamel paint will provide an attractive finish to your railings as well.
2- Acrylic Based Latex Paint
Unlike ordinary latex paint that does not suit the exterior metal surfaces, acrylic latex paint provides better protection to the iron fencing because of its ability to expand and contract at high and low temperatures.
While paints might be an excellent rust-proofing material as it resists moisture, it does not stick to the bare wrought iron surface very well.
However, there are two other types of coatings that can help metal resist the oxidation process and stay sound.
You should definitely consider these options as well if you want to keep your railings in good condition for a long.
3- Pre-Galvanizing
In this method, a thin coating of zinc is applied to the surface.
It is the most effective coating that can be applied to metal which keeps it from oxidizing or rusting.
You can paint on a metal or wrought iron gate that is covered in zinc, but there are certain types of latex or oil-based paints that will not last very long.
This is because the zinc will react to the paint which causes a process known as saponification.
In other words, it creates a soapy substance that will have the paint slide off the surface in a short time.
4- Mill or Grease
This is a layer of grease that is placed on the surface of the steel.
This is used to prevent the metal from rusting when it is transported or stored before use.
The grease is well-suited to the task because it remains on top of the surface and does not seep inside.
Plus, one the temperature changes the grease can easily be removed from the metal surface.
You can heat treat or simply burn away the grease from the metal without damaging the surface when the protection is no longer needed.
However, depending on the size of the metal, it may be difficult to find a facility that can heat treat such large pieces.
That is why the pre-galvanizing process is more popular.
However, for small pieces that can easily be heat-treated in some manner, the mill coating tends to be better because it is easy to remove and is cheaper compared to pre-galvanization.
Welders for example can simply burn away the grease as they are doing their work.
Conversely, trying to burn off the layer of zinc may cause fumes that are a threat to those nearby.
In either case, the protection provided by the mill and pre-galvanization is now gone once the layer has been removed.
For welding, there may be other issues that need to be addressed.
How to Keep the Welds of Iron Railing from Rusting and Corroding?
For metal that has been welded, the use of grease or zinc as a coating does not tend to work very well

The change in law allowing learner drivers to have lessons on UK motorways has definitely received mixed feedback. With younger drivers being more likely to be involved in road accidents - is putting them onto busy and sometimes daunting motorways the right decision?
Requirements are clear. If learner drivers are going to be heading on to a motorway for a lesson, this MUST be with an official instructor in a car with dual controls (which I feel is comforting for other road users, as many people had originally voiced their concerns of learner drivers being on a motorway in a car without dual control).
This change in law is hoping to give new drivers more confidence with driving on the motorway, after 27 per cent of drivers said they were scared when they first went on to a motorway according to a study from AA. The likes of RAC and AA have also welcomed these changes.
In my opinion, as long as the driving instructor feels the learner driver is at a sensible level, then I don't see there being any issues. Only time will tell if these changes lead to a decrease in motorway accidents in younger drivers.
Learner drivers in England, Wales and Scotland are now allowed to have lessons on the motorway. Previously only those who had passed their test could do so, but lessons are now allowed in a dual-control car with an approved driving instructor. The government says the move will help learners gain experience to drive safely. The law change has been welcomed by the AA and RAC Foundation, among other motoring groups. Road safety minister Jesse Norman said: "Britain's roads are among the safest in the world, but road collisions remain the second biggest killer of young people. "Allowing learner drivers to have motorway lessons with a qualified road safety expert will help more young drivers to gain the skills and experience they need to drive safely on motorways."


Vulgarity is the quality of being crude and lacking refinement. Fart jokes and swearing are both forms of vulgarity.
One of the criteria used in assessing whether a movie is rated PG-13, R or even X is how much vulgarity in involved. Vulgarity is the quality of being offensive and crass. Fart jokes, sexual humor, and obscenities are all examples of vulgarity. A R-rated movie or TV show on cable likely has some vulgarity. Vulgarity doesn't get much respect because it appeals to people's cruder instincts.

New Graduates Improving Healthcare
The Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) is continuing to lead the way in developing the capability of frontline staff in local health facilities, with 28 healthcare staff today graduating from the ACI Centre for Healthcare Redesign (CHR) School with a Diploma of Project Management and a Diploma of Government.
The CHR School offers three Diploma Programs a year for managers and clinicians working in the NSW health system. The 20 week school teaches frontline staff how to identify the root causes of issues impacting on patient's experience of care and then develop and implement lasting innovative changes to improve the way health care is delivered and experienced.
Frontline healthcare staff that participate in the program develop skills in project management, the application of innovative redesign methodology and change management while working on a real project of high priority in their own workplace. Participants are offered the latest knowledge and training in project management, clinical redesign and change management for healthcare professionals and managers using a variety of teaching methods including workplace coaching.
During the program healthcare staff are also encouraged to lead a real project in their workplace and to talk with patients and staff to identify improvements. Interviewing and working in partnership with patients to improve care is a strong focus of the course. These workplace projects are the focus of Graduation Days and provide participants, redesign leads and Local Health District sponsors with an opportunity to show the results of their projects and hear about the success of fellow CHR school graduates.
To get involved in the conversation on Twitter follow @NSWACI and #CHRschool.

ds_queue_dequeue
Dequeues the value from the head of the queue.
Syntax:
ds_queue_dequeue(id);
Argument Description
id The id of the queue to dequeue from.
Returns: Real, String, undefined
Description
This function will dequeue the head value off of the ds_queue, removing it from the queue and returning the value to be stored in a variable. If the queue is empty then the function will return the constant undefined, otherwise it will return the real or string value contained in the queue.
Example:
if !ds_queue_empty(move_queue)
 {
 var xx, yy;
 xx = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
 yy = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
 move_towards_point(xx, yy, 4);
 }
The above code checks the ds_queue indexed in the variable "move_queue" to see if it is empty, and if it is not, it then dequeues the two values from the head of the queue and use them to set a direction for movement.
Back: Queues
Next: ds_queue_head

CXFS
From Nekochan
Jump to: navigation, search
CXFS (Clustered XFS) is a distributed file system|distributed networked file system designed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) specifically to be used in a Storage area network (SAN) environment.
A significant difference between CXFS and other distributed file systems is that data and metadata are managed separately from each other. CXFS provides direct access to data via the SAN for all hosts which will act as clients. This means that a client is able to access file data via the fiber connection to the SAN, rather than over an ethernet network (as is the case in most other distributed file systems, like NFS. File metadata however, is managed via a metadata broker. The metadata communication is performed via TCP/IP and ethernet.
Another difference is that file locks are managed by the metadata broker, rather than the individual host clients. This results in the elimination of a number of problems which typically plague distributed file systems.
Though CXFS supports having a heterogeneous environment (including Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX and Microsoft Windows), either SGI's IRIX Operating System or Linux is required to be installed on the host which acts as the metadata broker.

Not using the Windows 11 taskbar chat? So you can remove it
Chat in Windows 11
Along with other important news, in Windows 11 the new chat function has been incorporated into the taskbar. Thanks to it, it is possible to access conversations held through Microsoft Teams in a much faster way, so it can be very useful for many users.
However, the truth is that there are also quite a few who do not find this relevant function within the operating system, since many times we use tools such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal or Messenger to hold conversations, and Teams is not usually so common. If it is your case, you will probably want to remove the chat icon from your computer's taskbar, and it is something that you will be able to do easily.

Rising Rents and Rare Availability: Canada's Booming Rental Crisis
In 2022, there was an unprecedented increase in the supply of rental housing across the country, but demand outpaced supply growth, driving up rents to record-low levels and restricting mobility.
Between October 2021 and October 2022, 55,000 specifically designed rental units will enter the market, representing the fastest growth since 2013. Although vacancy rates fell to an all-time low of 1.9 percent throughout the year, those extra units did very little to increase the amount of rental supply that was available.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) lists several factors for the rise in demand for rental housing.
- Growth in immigration.
- Decreasing affordability of home ownership.
- Returning college students in significant urban centers.
The average national rent for a two-bedroom apartment was $1,258 in 2022, up 56% from the previous year and significantly more than the 28% average increase between 1990 and 2021, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The most expensive markets in the nation are Toronto and Vancouver, where the average rent is $1,779 and $2,002, respectively.
The sudden increases in rental costs were most detrimental to renters with low incomes. Less than 20% of the rental stock is comprised of reasonably priced housing, making them difficult to find.
More tenants chose to remain in their homes as rental prices rose across the nation to avoid paying higher prices. Rental turnover rates dropped from 15% in 2021 to 13% in 2022.
Given the evidence provided by CMHC that turnover has a significant impact on rental housing prices, these numbers are not surprising. According to the company, a 2-bedroom apartment turned over to a new tenant experienced an average rent increase of about 18%; however, tenants who opted to remain in their rental properties only experienced a 26% increase.
In 2022, Montreal had the highest percentage of affordable rental units, largely because of its older and smaller buildings, larger overall rental stock, and perhaps more individual owner-landlords.
In Canadian cities, rental condominiums made up 19.3 percent of the total rental stock, with Vancouver leading the way at 42.5 percent.
While Montreal had a meager 60.7 percent, Calgary and Toronto also had high rates of condo rentals (over 30%).
At $1,930 a month, renting a two-bedroom condo was significantly more expensive than renting an apartment.

In floating environments such as the captions of figures, LaTeX has a \global\_USER_, why is this necessary and what does this switch do?

The _USER_ switch is used by LaTeX to handle vertical spacing at the beginning of a minipage environment (or a similar construct). If it is true then \addvspace is not adding space. So if, for example, a minipage starts of with a list environment then the space normally added in front of the list (by \addvspace) is suppressed.
The switch will be set to true at the beginning of a minipage environment (or a similar construct) and is normally set to false by \everypar, i.e., the moment textual material appears in that "minipage".
Now in the case of the caption implementation, two different strategies are used: if the caption is wider than the current horizontal width, then it is re-set as a normal paragraph (so the switch would be set to false by \everypar). However is it is small then the box is used directly without triggering the paragraph builder. Therefore one has to set the switch manually in this case.
And the reason that it is done globally is just because the switch is always manipulated globally.

The sources say
The float mechanism, like minipage, sets the flag |_USER_| true
before executing the user-supplied text. Many \LaTeX\ constructs
test for this flag and do not add vertical space when it is true.
The intention is that this emulates \TeX's 'top of page' behaviour.
The flag must be set false at the start of the first paragraph. This
is achieved by a redefinition of |\everypar|, but the call to
|\_USER_| removes that redefinition, so it is re-inserted
if needed. If the flag is already false then the |\caption| was not
the first entry in the float, and so some other paragraph has already
activated the special |\everypar|. In this case no further action is
The most important command that tests this switch is \addvspace which is the command that is mostly used to add the vertical space around display environments such as lists. It is a global flag and setting it in a float environment means the float acts in a consistent way even if it floats from somewhere where it is set to somewhere where it would not be set.

This much I could gather from the source2e, but shouldn't it then be outside the conditional? Why only at the hboxed caption? – Yiannis Lazarides Apr 29 '12 at 19:52
_USER_ Frank just answered the point about caption in his answer – David Carlisle Apr 29 '12 at 19:54
_USER_ I think David's last part of the answer is a red herring. The switch takes care of itself and it only has to be set by \caption because of the caption implementation avoiding normal paragraphs. It is not doing a standardization which happens elsewhere. – Frank Mittelbach Apr 29 '12 at 19:59
Hmm if in doubt I'd believe _USER_, rather than me:-) But I wasn't so much thinking about caption there, as arbitrary addvspace at the top of the float. If the switch wasn't set by the float addvspace would pick up whatever value was current at the point of the float, wouldn't it? Ah we are agreeing. I think. the start of the float is the "elsewhere" that Frank meant:-) – David Carlisle Apr 29 '12 at 20:04
indeed :-) the elsewhere is \_USER_ which sets the switch. And by the way if the caption is at the bottom of the float then it is correct if '\addvspace adds space. – Frank Mittelbach Apr 29 '12 at 20:10

Governor Granholm Declares June Youth Employment Month in Michigan DELEG Offers Tips for Finding Employment and Staying Safe on the JobContact: Mario L. Morrow 517-373-9280Agency: Licensing and Regulatory Affairs
June 3, 2009 - Governor Jennifer M. Granholm has proclaimed June as Youth Employment Month in Michigan to help teens identify employment opportunities and to help employers provide legal and safe working environments for Michigan's working teens.
This summer about 304,400 teenagers, ages 16-19, are expected to seek jobs in Michigan - a slight decrease over last year's job market.
"By providing valuable and safe summer work experiences today, employers are empowering Michigan's teens with the skills they will need to find good jobs in the future," said Granholm.
In recognition of Youth Employment Month, the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG) offers important tips to help teens find employment and to protect them while on the job.
"The safety and well-being of the state's youngest workers must be a top priority for Michigan employers," DELEG Director Stanley "Skip" Pruss stated. "Consequently, it is important for employers to be educated about the state's youth employment laws, such as those in the Youth Employment Standards Act and especially during the summer months as more teens join the workforce to fill jobs created by increased activity in the state's tourism and recreational industries."
Michigan's minimum wage law increased to $7.40 in July 2008. There is also a state sub-minimum wage for those under 18 years of age. The sub-minimum wage allows employers to pay these young workers at a rate of 85 percent of the state adult minimum wage or a wage equal to the federal minimum wage, whichever is greater. The current sub-minimum rate is $6.55 an hour, based on the federal minimum wage, and will increase to $7.25 an hour on July 24, 2009, when the federal minimum wage increases.
Protecting Working Youth
DELEG's Wage & Hour Division is launching a month-long campaign to educate employers about the state's youth employment laws and is working with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage & Hour Division, as part of a national effort, to visit employers, pass out materials and discuss legal aspects of employing minors. The campaign will include visits to retail and fast food establishments, which employ the majority of teenagers, and to school districts, which issue work permits.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reports that approximately 70 teens die every year in the U.S. from work-related injuries. The most recent data shows nearly 2,000 Michigan teens were seriously injured on the job in a two-year period (2006-2007).
As a result, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), also within DELEG, is continuing its multi-year "Young Worker Initiative," which provides basic workplace safety and health information to Michigan teens before they begin work or early in their working careers.
MIOSHA has developed the brochure "Extreme Safety: Important Facts for Working Teens" that explains their workplace rights and responsibilities, and fact sheets for young workers in the construction, food service, retail and lawn care industries. MIOSHA youth material can be found at: _URL_ in the "MIOSHA Initiatives" section, click on "Young Worker Initiative."
Minors need work permits
Minors are required to have a work permit, which they can obtain at any Michigan school district, intermediate school district, public school academy or non-public school. Generally, teens must be at least 14 years old for most jobs; however, children as young as 11 can work as golf caddies or sports referees. Children, 13 years of age or older, can work on farms.
Minors, ages 14 and 15, can work between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. while 16- and 17-year-olds can be employed between 6:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. on Friday or Saturday or when not regularly attending school) for up to 48 hours per week of school and work combined.
Those with questions about the Youth Employment Standards Act can contact the Wage and Hour Division at _PHONE_ or visit _URL_ and click on "Youth Employment." A work permit fact sheet is available online at: _URL_
Summer jobs for low income youth
DELEG Director Pruss noted that low income youth between the ages of 14 and 24 may qualify for summer jobs this year as the state has received about $74 million from the federal government for summer employment programs. About 80 percent of the money will be used this summer. The jobs will be with governmental and non-profit organizations as well as with some private employers.
"Young people interested in applying for these summer jobs or for more information should contact their local Michigan Works Agency," Pruss said.
MWA locations can be found at michiganworks.org/ or by calling 1-800-285-WORKS (9675).

How do we calculate the effective mass of an electron in an Aluminium lattice? Is there any simple analytical way to work it out?
share|improve this question
I think the answer is "no", almost without qualification... – genneth Mar 17 '11 at 23:18
_USER_ please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the inverse effective mass given by an expression of the form $m^{-1} = \partial^2 E(k)/\partial k_a \partial k_b $, where $E(k)$ is the dispersion relation, $k_a, k_b$ are directions in momentum space, and for simplicity we assume that $m^{-1}_{ab} := m^{-1}$? So given the energy spectrum of Aluminum one can calculate the effective mass for any excitation of momentum $k$ in its brillouin zone? – user346 Mar 18 '11 at 0:33
The last sentence is meant as a statement, not a question. – user346 Mar 18 '11 at 1:05
That gives the band mass, but actual electron masses (the things one measures via heat capacity, for example) also get renormalisations from the Coulomb interaction. The 2nd bit is where the calculation breaks down. However, I don't remember which dominates in Aluminium --- it's a bit of an odd material electronically speaking. In any case, even a band-structure calculation is not "simple analytic" --- I have a whole group of people around me who spend their lives working out better/faster ways to do it with massive supercomputers :-) – genneth Mar 18 '11 at 11:49
1 Answer 1
The effective mass can be determined from a exactly known band structure. As genneth already mentioned there is no simple analytical way to get a from first principles to the Aluminium band structure.
In practice there are a number of very successful numerical approaches to calculate band structures, e.g. Hartree-Fock, LDA+U, DMFT, Tight binding and the list goes on depending on the exact material and properties you are interested in.
If you use a number of material parameters as the electron density, Fermi energy or others you can express the effective mass in those terms but that is more a reformulation than a way to calculate it.

text: This paper describes a CMOS hysteretic DC-DC buck converter with a low output ripple voltage and a constant switching frequency for mobile applications. The inherent problems of a large output ripple voltage that the conventional hysteretic DC-DC buck converters has faced have been resolved by using the proposed DC-DC buck converter which employed the delay time control circuit to be able to maintain a constant switching frequency(2MHz) in CCM. The proposed architecture enables the settling response time of charge pump circuit within the converter to become less than 6us suitable for mobile applications. The proposed DC-DC buck converter was implemented by using 0.35um BCDMOS process and die size was 1.37mm x 1.37mm. The measurement results showed that the proposed circuit received the input of 3.7V and generated output of 1.2V with the output ripple voltages less than 20mV under load currents of 100~400mA at the fixed switching frequency of 2MHz. The maximum efficiency of the proposed hysteretic buck converter was measured to be around 93%.

Centring of Floating Roof
Proper sealing of a floating roof rim space as well as the general life expectance of a sealing system are based on adequate and sufficient centring of the floating roof.
Foam filled primary seals and spring loaded seals can offer sufficient centring forces. Liquid filled seals provide little centring forces and require perfect tank roundness.
The centring characteristic and the specific centring forces of a certain sealing system can be described by comparing the compression forces existing at two diametrical points of the floating roof, as shown in the following diagram. Sealing systems with good centring characteristic show progressive increase of sealing forces when the rim space is reduced.

Bet without Looking: Studying Eyes-Free Interaction During Live SportsAbstract:
This paper presents a comparison study of three different interaction methods for an eyes-free interaction with a second screen application while watching a TV broadcast. These interaction methods were used in WeBet, a touch-based mobile game that prompts users to bet if a goal is about to happen during a football match. WeBet is one of the prototypes we have been developing to increase the remote users' emotional levels during live sports broadcasts, so that they feel like if they were scoring a goal with their team. However, that can only be achieved if the second screen application does not require the users' attention when a goal (key moment) is just about to happen, otherwise they would be frustrated to miss that exciting moment. To this end, we conducted user tests that allowed us to determine the usage patterns and users' preferences regarding three different interaction methods, as well as to identify important refinements to be considered in future developments.

Python binding documentation
For a while, there has been a basic python binding for libvlc, that was used for streaming. A more complete (with a hopefully generic API that can be reused by other players) has been developped, based on the MediaControlAPI.
Sources are browsable from python binding and a code sample can be found in [1].
The vlc python module provides 2 main classes : MediaControl and Object.
vlc.Object provides a binding to the vlc object architecture. It allows to manipulate variables and configuration options, and explore the object hierrarchy. The vlcdebug.py script, located in the python bindings directory, wraps around the vlc.Object to provide an easier access to variables and objects (as illustrated in the code sample in [2]).
vlc.MediaControl implements the MediaControlAPI.
Methods taking positions as parameters expect a vlc.Position object, that provides a very flexible way to address absolute or relative positions, in a number of units (milliseconds, frames or bytes). For convenience, the python binding automatically converts integer positions into milliseconds vlc.Position objects.

Snapshot support
In order to get snapshot support, you have to activate the snapshot vout module through a clone video filter. The following code gives a way to achieve this :
 mc=vlc.MediaControl([ "--vout-filter", "clone" ])
 o.config_set("clone-vout-list", "default,snapshot")
 o.config_set("snapshot-width", 320)
 o.config_set("snapshot-height", 200)
Note that all config options could have been given on the command line, but this illustrates the use of the vlc.Object API.
There is a snapshot functionality built in the vlc core, associated to a hotkey. The MediaControlAPI could (should ?) use it, but
 - it did not exist at the time the extension was developped
 - the builtin snapshot functionality is oriented towards interactive use (hotkey activation, saving into a file) and should be revamped to take into accound a more programmatic use
 - the snapshot vout module holds a cache of reduced-size snapshots, that allow to take into account the reaction time of the user (around 200ms) and also to select the more appropriate snapshot from the cache.
Win32 initialization
If the vlc module was not compiled with the exact same prefix as the VLC installation (e.g. c:\\Program Files\\Videolan), then it cannot find itself the installation directory (stored in the registry Software\VideoLAN\VLC\Path), and the MediaControl instanciation will fail with a message like "Cannot find interface plugins".
The workaround consists in changing directory to the VLC installation directory before instanciating the MediaControl object.
 def get_registry_value (self, subkey, name):
 import _winreg
 value = None
 for hkey in _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER:
 reg = _winreg.OpenKey(hkey, subkey)
 value, type_id = _winreg.QueryValueEx(reg, name)
 except _winreg.error:
 return value
 if vlcpath is None:
 print "Cannot locate VLC installation directory"

The Educational Policy of Aoyama Gakuin
The Mission of Aoyama Gakuin University
Aoyama Gakuin School Motto
Jesus Christ spoke of "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world," but this was a proclamation rather than an exhortation. Aoyama Gakuin is founded on the basis of the proclamation that your life is of inestimable value.
The Salt of the Earth: Salt adds taste, prevents spoilage and is used for purification. The human body needs a 0.7% concentration salt and we must consume 10–15 grams a day to live. This school will continue to produce individuals who strive to contribute significantly to society, resist corruption, and purify its degradation with creativity and humility.
 Light provides brightness and warmth. Light leads people like a guiding light at a lighthouse, and it also disinfects and nourishes. In the same way, this school will forthrightly endeavor to create a robust and energetic society, igniting the spark of hope.
In contrast to its literal meanings, earth and world stand for "a world without God" and "the loss of human dignity." Hence, as the individuals who make up Aoyama Gakuin we are blessed by God as "Salt" and "Light," and we will strive to fulfill our purpose.


How to Do Tombstone Rubbings
by Richard Lupu
with notes by Joel GAzis-SAx
I am really just an amateur, but I have found that rubbings are a beautiful form of art. It is a fairly easy and inexpensive hobby that is a wonderful way to learn about history. There are some basic rules you should follow and some tools you need to get started.
If you plan on doing rubbings of your family or relatives then some of these wont apply. I like to rub very old tombstones. They have a certain charm about them.
 1. Many cemeteries are private property. Be sure and ask before you start rubbing tombstones. Trespassing fines are not cheap. Many do not understand what rubbing is or have ever heard of it.
 2. Treat each tombstone as if it were your own mother's. Somebody loves these people and old tombstones can be delicate.
 3. Make sure and clean off all marks accidently left on tombstones. Leave the cemetery cleaner than when you got there.
 4. If it is a private cemetery or a municipal cemetery, don't rub at night. Your actions will most certainly be mistaken by local law officials. You would think this would not have to be mentioned but a friend of mine wanted to get some rubbings done when he got off of work one night. Bail is not cheap either.
 1. A soft brush. The kind you might use to polish your shoes work well. A tooth brush is also a good thing to bring.
 2. Paper, White or rice paper works best. I like rice paper. It has a really nice feel to it and can be surprisingly strong.¹
 3. Black or gray chalk. I like chalk, it can be messy but if you're careful it makes a very nice texture. Flat black crayons and rubbing wax are the most common, but I still like chalk.²
 4. Scissors or exacto knife.
 5. Masking tape or painters tape
 6. Small spray bottle and a soft absorbent rag.
 7. If you use chalk you will need Chalk spray. Krylon makes the best.³
Once you have found a nice tombstone you need to make sure it is clean. Use the soft brush and remove dirt and debris from the surface. Be gentle, and respectful, if the it looks as if you might scratch the tombstone then move on.
After you get most of the dirt off spray it with the bottle and then wipe with the rag. Let the tombstone become perfectly dry before you go on. Cut the paper larger than the tombstone itself and wrap tightly aroundthe stone. Tape it very securely so that it doesn't move, if the paper moves when you start rubbing you will probably have to start over.
Start rubbing on the outside edges and make yourself a frame of sorts. You don't need to rub real hard, you can always make it darker by going back over it but you can never make it lighter. You should start to see the patterns emerging at this point.
Once you have the darkness down to you liking carefully spray the paper down with the Chalk spray. Be careful not to get any on the tombstone. When it is dry you can remove it and trim it in the shape of the stone or leave a border around it. This is all there is to it. Practice with it and develop your own style.
I live in Texas and have found a couple of old cemeteries that are all but abandoned. The dates on a lot of these date back to the late 1800's. If you also live in Texas, E-mail me ( and I will give you directions.
Remember the respect you show now will ensure that tombstone rubbing will always be looked at as a way to preserve history and not as vandalism.
Caretaker's Notes
¹Rice paper was recommended by nearly all the Caretaker's advisors on this page. Butcher paper was mentioned as a cheaper substitute. I had a bad experience with a grainy drawing paper. Smooth surfaces work much better than grainy ones, though you may decide otherwise.
²In my experience, chalk was a bit messy. Other contributors suggested using charcoal. You can also use ink if you follow the method used in China for making stone rubbings.
³There's an alternative to Krylon and that is hairspray -- "the cheapest you can find" as one advisor put it.

The Caretaker also wishes to thank Lydia Thompson, Carolanne Szoke, and other contributors to alt.society.funerary for their tips.

- For Patients
A frontline clinical staff training program was conducted by CARE Hospitals and Dr Reddy's Foundation for Healthcare Education (DRFHE) on February 23-24. The 15 participants included DNB students, Residents, Physician Assistants and Nurse Clinicians.
Aimed at creating awareness about the importance of clinical documentation and pathways, the program was inaugurated by Dr Rajeev Menon, CMS. He spoke on the need for clinical documentation and the work being done at CARE. Dr N Krishna Reddy, Vice-Chairman, interacted with the audience and focused on the relevance of clinical documentation to patient care.
Facilitating the sessions, Mr Raghavan from DRFHE covered the areas of patient centricity, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills for communication. On the second day, Mr Rajeev Chourey, VP–Operations and Quality spoke on the importance of the consent form and clinical audits.
Dr M Arundhathy, GM–Administration (Corporate) held sessions on patient safety, clinical documentation and pathways.
The doctors' feedback revealed that they were not aware of the extent of documentation being done at CARE. They found the sessions valuable and commented that the work was of international standards. They said it would help them publish more papers and aid in their professional advancement.

Solr has support for writing and reading its index and transaction log files to the HDFS distributed filesystem. This does not use Hadoop Map-Reduce to process Solr data, rather it only uses the HDFS filesystem for index and transaction log file storage.
To use HDFS rather than a local filesystem, you must be using Hadoop 2.x and you will need to instruct Solr to use the HdfsDirectoryFactory. There are also several additional parameters to define. These can be set in one of three ways:
 - Pass JVM arguments to the bin/solr script. These would need to be passed every time you start Solr with bin/solr.
 - Modify solr.in.sh (or solr.in.cmd on Windows) to pass the JVM arguments automatically when using bin/solr without having to set them manually.
 - Define the properties in solrconfig.xml. These configuration changes would need to be repeated for every collection, so is a good option if you only want some of your collections stored in HDFS.
Starting Solr on HDFS
Standalone Solr Instances
For standalone Solr instances, there are a few parameters you should be sure to modify before starting Solr. These can be set in solrconfig.xml(more on that below), or passed to the bin/solr script at startup.
 - You need to use an HdfsDirectoryFactory and a data dir of the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You need to specify an UpdateLog location of the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You should specify a lock factory type of 'hdfs' or none.
If you do not modify solrconfig.xml, you can instead start Solr on HDFS with the following command:
This example will start Solr in standalone mode, using the defined JVM properties (explained in more detail below).
SolrCloud Instances
In SolrCloud mode, it's best to leave the data and update log directories as the defaults Solr comes with and simply specify the solr.hdfs.home. All dynamically created collections will create the appropriate directories automatically under the solr.hdfs.home root directory.
 - Set solr.hdfs.home in the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You should specify a lock factory type of 'hdfs' or none.
This command starts Solr in SolrCloud mode, using the defined JVM properties.
Modifying solr.in.sh (*nix) or solr.in.cmd (Windows)
The examples above assume you will pass JVM arguments as part of the start command every time you use bin/solr to start Solr. However, bin/solr looks for an include file named solr.in.sh (solr.in.cmd on Windows) to set environment variables. By default, this file is found in the bin directory, and you can modify it to permanently add the HdfsDirectoryFactory settings and ensure they are used every time Solr is started.
For example, to set JVM arguments to always use HDFS when running in SolrCloud mode (as shown above), you would add a section such as this:
The Block Cache
For performance, the HdfsDirectoryFactory uses a Directory that will cache HDFS blocks. This caching mechanism is meant to replace the standard file system cache that Solr utilizes so much. By default, this cache is allocated off heap. This cache will often need to be quite large and you may need to raise the off heap memory limit for the specific JVM you are running Solr in. For the Oracle/OpenJDK JVMs, the follow is an example command line parameter that you can use to raise the limit when starting Solr:
HdfsDirectoryFactory Parameters
The HdfsDirectoryFactory has a number of settings that are defined as part of the directoryFactory configuration.
Solr HDFS Settings
Parameter
Example Value
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.home
hdfs://host:port/path/solr
N/A
A root location in HDFS for Solr to write collection data to. Rather than specifying an HDFS location for the data directory or update log directory, use this to specify one root location and have everything automatically created within this HDFS location.
Block Cache Settings
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.blockcache.enabled
true
Enable the blockcache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.read.enabled
true
Enable the read cache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.write.enabled
true
Enable the write cache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.direct.memory.allocation
true
Enable direct memory allocation. If this is false, heap is used
solr.hdfs.blockcache.slab.count
1
Number of memory slabs to allocate. Each slab is 128 MB in size.
solr.hdfs.blockcache.global
false
Enable/Disable using one global cache for all SolrCores. The settings used will be from the first HdfsDirectoryFactory created.
NRTCachingDirectory Settings
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.enable
true
Enable the use of NRTCachingDirectory
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.maxmergesizemb
16
NRTCachingDirectory max segment size for merges
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.maxcachedmb
192
NRTCachingDirectory max cache size
HDFS Client Configuration Settings
solr.hdfs.confdir pass the location of HDFS client configuration files - needed for HDFS HA for example.
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.confdir
N/A
Pass the location of HDFS client configuration files - needed for HDFS HA for example.
Kerberos Authentication Settings
Hadoop can be configured to use the Kerberos protocol to verify user identity when trying to access core services like HDFS. If your HDFS directories are protected using Kerberos, then you need to configure Solr's HdfsDirectoryFactory to authenticate using Kerberos in order to read and write to HDFS. To enable Kerberos authentication from Solr, you need to set the following parameters:
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.enabled
false
Set to true to enable Kerberos authentication
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.keytabfileN/A
A keytab file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys which allows for password-less authentication when Solr attempts to authenticate with secure Hadoop.
This file will need to be present on all Solr servers at the same path provided in this parameter.
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.principalN/A
The Kerberos principal that Solr should use to authenticate to secure Hadoop; the format of a typical Kerberos V5 principal is: primary/instance@realm
Example
Here is a sample solrconfig.xml configuration for storing Solr indexes on HDFS:
If using Kerberos, you will need to add the three Kerberos related properties to the <directoryFactory> element in solrconfig.xml, such as:
Limitations
You must use an 'append-only' Lucene index codec because HDFS is an append-only filesystem. The currently default codec used by Solr is 'append-only' and is supported with HDFS.
Automatically Add Replicas in SolrCloud
One benefit to running Solr in HDFS is the ability to automatically add new replicas when the Overseer notices that a shard has gone down. Because the "gone" index shards are stored in HDFS, the a new core will be created and the new core will point to the existing indexes in HDFS.
Collections created using autoAddReplicas=true on a shared file system have automatic addition of replicas enabled. The following settings can be used to override the defaults in the <solrcloud> section of solr.xml.
Param
Default
Description
autoReplicaFailoverWorkLoopDelay10000The time (in ms) between clusterstate inspections by the Overseer to detect and possibly act on creation of a replacement replica.
autoReplicaFailoverWaitAfterExpiration30000The minimum time (in ms) to wait for initiating replacement of a replica after first noticing it not being live. This is important to prevent false positives while stoping or starting the cluster.
autoReplicaFailoverBadNodeExpiration60000The delay (in ms) after which a replica marked as down would be unmarked.
Temporarily disable autoAddReplicas for the entire cluster
When doing offline maintenance on the cluster and for various other use cases where an admin would like to temporarily disable auto addition of

 - Text Compare multiple files with different file names
 I have 2 folders each with 70 pdf files, but different file names. I suspect that the content of the PDF is the same. For example in Folder A there is a file names 0013 Receipt and in Folder B 0013 Import. I figured out how to text compare one-to-one and they are the same for the first few files I reviewed one-to-one.
 Is there a way to simultaneously select all 70 files in each folder for text compare?
 Please keep in mind I have little to no experience in BC and no scripting knowledge.
 Thanks.

 Hello,
 Yes, if the files are aligned and have equal names, but No if the file names are all different and marked as orphans (unaligned). How did you perform the Text Compare on the "first few files"? Manually selected two orphan files with different names, right clicked, and Quick Compare?
 We do have an Align With command which can align files of different names manually. We also have a Pro feature called Alignment Overrides that can create a rule to align different names that match the rule. For example, if all of your files are Number Receipt and Number Import, we could define something similar to * Receipt = * Import to align them. If the names vary greatly or randomly, this might not work.
 If you could post or email us a full screen screenshot of your current Folder Compare showing several of the files you want to align, I can help provide more specific information. If you email us privately at _EMAIL_, please also include a link back to this forum thread in the email, for our reference.

 Thanks for the quick response and the info. I will play with "Align With." I selected Text Compare from the dashboard and manually selected each file. Unfortunately, I'm unable to share my screenshot unless I change the file names. There is more variety in the files name, I generalized the file names for the example I used.
 Again, thanks. BTW I've only had BC for a few weeks and have found it useful and easy to use from the start. I have a desktop label maker that is more complicated.

Ruby Question
How to write DOS line endings to a file from Unix
My Unix Ruby program needs to write a file that will be read by
SqlServer running on Windows. I need for the lines I write to this
file to end in
\r\n
, the DOS/Windows line ending, rather than
\n
,
the Unix line ending. I want this to happen without me having to
manually add the \r to the end of each line.
The starting point
If my program writes to the file like this:
File.open("/tmp/foo", "w") do |file|
file.puts "stuff"
end
Then the file has Unix line endings:
$ od -c foo
_PHONE_ s t u f f \n
That is expected, since my program is running on Unix. But I
need for this file (and this file only) to have DOS line endings.
Adding the \r to each line manually
If I add the \r to each line manually:
File.open("/tmp/foo", "w") do |file|
file.puts "stuff\r"
end
Then the file has DOS line endings:
$ od -c /tmp/foo
_PHONE_ s t u f f \r \n
This works, but has to be repeated for each line I want to write.
Using String#encode
As shown by this SO answer, I can modify the string using
String#encode before writing it:
File.open("/tmp/foo", "w") do |file|
file.puts "alpha\nbeta\n".encode(crlf_newline: true)
end
This results in DOS line endings:
$ od -c /tmp/foo
_PHONE_ a l p h a \r \n b e t a \r \n
This has the advantage that if I am writing multiple lines at once,
one call to #encode will change all the line endings for that one
write. However, it's verbose, and I still have to specify the line
ending for every write.
How can I cause each
puts
to an open file in Unix to end
the line in the Windows
\r\n
line ending rather than the Unix '\n'
line ending?
I am running Ruby 2.3.1.
Answer Source
There's an option for this, the same one you're using on encode also works with File.open:
File.open('/tmp/foo', mode: 'w', crlf_newline: true) do |file|
 file.puts("alpha")
 file.puts("beta")
end
This option not only ends lines in \r\n, it also translates any explicit \n into \r\n. So this:
file.puts("alpha\nbar")
will write alpha\r\nbar\r\b


text: Department of Water Resources' San Luis Field Division will inspect the existing septic tank and underground sewer line for the State Water Project's Romero Visitor Center. Waste from the septic tank will be pumped and taken offsite. A sewer pipe inspection robot with a camera will be inserted into the sewer line to trace its alignment. This will be done to determine if the sewer line location matches the original blueprint of the sewer line. While the alignment of the sewer line is being traced, the line will also be inspected for any potential breaks or leaks. If any breaks in the sewer line are detected, soil sampling will be conducted within an approximately 131,966-square foot work area. Soil samples will be collected using a protocol developed by the San Luis Field Division. A hand auger will be used to drill test holes along the sewer line. The test holes will range between 6 to 10 inches in diameter and will be up to 7 feet below ground. If the soil is too hard to use a hand auger, a backhoe will be used to dig test holes up to 30 inches long by 30 inches wide and 7 feet deep. Soil samples will be collected from all test holes. Once soil sampling is completed, all test holes will be backfilled and compacted to the original grade. The soil samples will be analyzed offsite. The State Water Project will benefit.


text: This volume presents empirical studies and theoretical reflections on Evolutionary Governance Theory (EGT), its most important concepts and their interrelations. As a novel theory of governance, EGT understands governance as radically evolutionary, which implies that all elements of governance are subject to evolution, that these elements co-evolve and that many of them are the product of governance itself. Through this book we learn how communities understand themselves and their environment and why they create the complex structures and processes we analyze as governance paths. Authors from different disciplines develop the EGT framework further and apply it to a wide rage networks of power, governance of agricultural resources etc. The contributors also reflect on the possibilities and limitations of steering, intervention, management and development in a world continuously in flux. It bridges the gap between more fundamental and philosophical accounts of the social sciences and applied studies, offering theoretical advancements as well as practical recommendations.

The Aberfoyle Park Primary School Campus is located in the Adelaide hills 18 kilometres south of the city. The concept of the Campus with State School (Thiele), Catholic Education Office (Nativity) and the Uniting Church System (Pilgrim) sharing facilities was new to South Australia and probably Australia when it was first developed.
After years of preliminary planning the joint project came to fruition at the beginning of the 1982 school year when the schools admitted their first students. The Shared facilities include an activity hall, resource centre, gymnasium and Campus staff room. Shared programs include Physical Education, Music, and Resource Based Learning. In 2001 the Aberfoyle Park Campus Preschool was opened by the Minister of Education and Children's Services. This relocated facility has a capacity of 45 children per session and is located in the grounds of the Campus. There is a strong vision and spirit of cooperation and collaboration between the four schools. Having the three schools on one site provides the following educational advantages:
- A degreeof choice for parents when deciding what kind of school they want their children to attend.
- Resources available for all three schools that could not be financed by three separate schools.
- Sharing staff expertise between the three schools
- Promoting tolerance and cooperation between the school community of children, parents and staff
The shared schools resources of the Campus community includes:
- the Central Administration
- an excellent gymnasium
- a large staff and community meeting room
- central resource area
- activity hall and canteen
- two ovals
- hard play areas
- a large central courtyard
Parents sharing on the Campus is at many levels
The parents cooperate and work together in these areas:
- Campus Conference
- Sports Teams
- Resource Centre
Parents are encouraged to be involved in decision making in the individual schools and to work with the teachers in the classroom situation. The children are encouraged to develop a sense of belonging to the Campus.
This is achieved by:
|• Wearing the same uniform
(Varied in the State Schools)
- Playing together in the playground
- Participating in Campus sports Teams
- Sharing organised activities such as Book Week,
an Arts Festival and a Science Exposition.
- Across Campus Educational Programs:
- Language other than English (LOTE)
There are many activities of an informal nature across schools:
- Going on excursions together
- School camps
- Classes working together on a shared project

Tunable wavelength conversion of a 10 Gb/s signal over a broad wavelength range of about 90 nm is achieved by using a super structure grating distributed Bragg reflector laser. The extinction ratio dependence of converted signal light on input signal light power and bias current to the laser active region is discussed. The extinction ratio becomes large when the input signal light power increases and the bias current decreases. Bit error rate measurements show that error-free, penalty-free wavelength conversion is achieved when the extinction ratio is large (12.5 dB) and that the bit rate which error-free wavelength conversion is possible increases as the input signal light power increases. Twenty Gb/s signal wavelength conversion is also demonstrated.

Reawakened Beauty: Jordan River - Exhibition Art Work Views
Reawakened Beauty exhibits 30 platinum prints that document the Jordan River from its source at Utah Lake to its mouth at the Great Salt Lake. Once a natural boundary between civilization and the 'Wild West,' the river has both shaped the Salt Lake Valley and been altered by its urban expansion. In Crane's photographs, we see that some parts of the river have been left seemingly natural, while others reveal evidence of civil engineering, re-routing and pollution.
