In this workshop, you'll find that the letter "H" is the perfect frame for a helmet. We'll rework a simple giant letter into a helmet for an imaginary sports team.
What you'll need:
15″ x 15″ cardstock
- Begin by cutting out one 6″ x 6″ square from the middle of both sides of the cardstock as shown in the diagram, to create an "H" shape.
2. Draw patterns on the remaining area that best express your imaginary sport.
3. Bend in the middle so that both sets of ends can overlap and size it up to the wearer's head. Use a hole punch to create a hole through both layers.
4. Fasten the layers with a brass fastener, making sure to have the two ends of the fastener point from the inside of the helmet to the outside. This way the two ends do not poke the wearer's head or catch his or her hair.
5. Use the rest of the materials to decorate the helmet with telling elements that will help you in your imaginary sport. For example: Does it need an antenna for communicating? Does it need wings for flying? Or does it need lenses to cover the eyes?
Share your helmet with us using _TAG_! How-To Tuesdays are published on our blog every other week, so check back soon for a new project!

Buy Best DO Meter in India – Dissolved Oxygen Meter For Biofloc Fish and Shrimp Farming
Whether it's Biofloc or RAS or Traditional Aquaculture System of Farming Fishes and Shrimps, it's very essential to Buy the Best DO Meter in India. The Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Meter helps to monitor the water oxygen. In aquaculture, 99% of problems occur only due to insufficient dissolved oxygen in the culture water.
For a traditional open pond fish or shrimp culture, the dissolved oxygen level of 4-5ppm is good enough for the animals as the stocking density is very low. But in Biofloc and RAS System, the stocking density of fishes and shrimps are very high compared to traditional farming. So in such high-density stocking farming, the demand for dissolved oxygen (DO) is very high in the culture of water and an insufficient supply of oxygen can lead to mortality.
So continuously dissolved oxygen (DO) need to be monitored for getting better results. To measure dissolved oxygen in the water you should buy the best dissolved oxygen meter in India.
Here are a few critical points that one must not ignore;
- Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Creates Good Environment for Animals
- Ability to Suppress Toxic Gas Formation i.e. Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN) and Hydrogen Sulfite Gas
- Good Bacterial Colony Get Formed in Culture Water
- Eradicates Unwanted Things Forms in Culture Water
Buy Best DO Meter in India for Biofloc
There are many companies that make dissolved oxygen meters or do meters for aquaculture use. To measure dissolved oxygen in the water, here are the two products you can use;
- Liquid Based DO Test Kit
- Digital DO Meter
Liquid Based DO Test Kit for Biofloc
If you are looking for cheap and affordable best DO Meter in India then the liquid-based DO test kits can fit into your pocket. These dissolved oxygen test kits are cheaper than the digital DO meters, in India the liquid DO test kits will cost roughly ₹1500-₹2000 range depending upon the company type.
The liquid dissolved oxygen test kit take roughly 20 minutes to 30 minutes to measure the dissolved oxygen in the culture water. There are several re-agent liquids that come along with the packet and as per the instructions given, you need to follow them. It's a bit cumbersome task to perform as the duration of the test is too long.
Directions for Use of Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit
- Rinse the DO Test Bottle 2-3 times with sample culture water. Fill it till water overflows with sample water. Then close the stopper ensures no air bubbles are trapped inside it.
- Add 10 drops of DO Test Kit Bottle 1 followed by 10 drops of DO Test Kit Bottle 2. Mix well and wait for a minute. A brown precipitate will be formed and it will try to settle. Firmly stopper the bottle and shake the content thoroughly and keep it in a safe place for minimum 20 minutes.
- Now add 10-12 drops of the DO Test Kit Bottle 3. Replace the stopper and shake the bottle till the precipitate dissolves, then add more drops if quired to dissolve.
- Its ready, this sample is used for testing
- Take 10ml of sample from the sample bottle in the test jar.
- Add 4 drops of DO Test Kit Bottle 4 and mix it well.
- Now dropwise add DO Test Kit Bottle 5, counting the number of drops added while mixing until the blue color disappears.
You can imagine if you have 10 Biofloc Tanks and measure the dissolved oxygen of each tank using the liquid-based test kit, it will take 5 hours of your time, which everyone cannot afford it. So its wise to use these liquid-based test kits for small projects with less than 3 culture tanks.
Here are a few companies that make liquid-based DO test kits
Aquasol Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit
Product Price: ₹1699
Sagar Aquarium Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit
Brand Sagar Aquarium
Product Price: ₹2700
Salifert Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit
Product Price: ₹600
Digital DO Meter for Biofloc
If you are doing commercial aquaculture, then buy the best and most reliable DO Meter, which can provide high-accuracy results in less time. The Dissolved Oxygen Meter is one of the most critical tools in aquaculture, so never try to compromise buying the cheap DO meters.
The Digital DO Meter is far better than the liquid-based DO test kit. To measure the dissolved oxygen in culture water, the Digital Dissolved Oxygen Meter takes just 1-2 minutes only. You need to bring the sample water from the culture tank or pond and dip the Digital DO Meter in it and leave it for 1-2 minutes, it will show you the results. Its that simple and easy to use.
The Digital DO Meter Price in India starts from ₹10,000 to ₹50,000 depending upon the manufacturer.
Here are the lists of the Best DO Meter in India (Digital Dissolved Oxygen Meters) that are preferred by aquaculture professionals. I have sorted it out based on the product quality, service support, and prices. You can choose the ones which suits your requirements.
Lutron Dissolved Oxygen Meter Model 5509
Product Price: ₹12599
Lutron Dissolved Oxygen Meter Model 5510
Product Price: ₹19600
Lutron Dissolved Oxygen Meter Model PDO 519
Product Price: ₹15900
Lab Junction Dissolved Oxygen Meter
Brand Lan Junction
Product Price: ₹6550
My Recommendations – Buy Best DO Meter in India
I have been engaged in the aquaculture industry for more than 8 years and used several Dissolved Oxygen Meters. I find the Lutron Dissolved Oxygen Meter performs very well without any technical issues and their customer service support is very good as well.
The calibration process is very simple and easy but you need to order a few extra electrolyte solutions, which are used inside the Lutron DO Meter for showing high-accuracy results.

Behaviour of interturn winding fault signals in a three-phase two-winding transformer with delta connected primary and wye connected secondary, using high frequency components of DWT is proposed in this paper. The mother wavelet daubechies4 (db4) is employed to decompose high frequency components from signals. Various case studies have been done including the variation of fault inception angles, fault types, and fault locations. The result will be useful in the development of a fault detecting scheme for power transformer in the future.

Construction offices are usually the most costly pieces of construction.
In a world where the average office space is often over five times more expensive than that of a hotel, this article explores how the office trailer can be the most efficient piece of infrastructure in a world of ever-growing infrastructure.
The office trailer and office building: An office trailer stands outside a construction office in Mumbai, India, in 2015.
The trailer's size is a major factor in its cost.
The average size of an office trailer in the U.S. is 1,823 square feet.
The median price per square foot in the United States is $4.45.
Source: Reuters/Reuters 2.
The space inside an office building is divided by a garage.
A garage costs an average of $3.33 per square feet in the US.
In New Zealand, a garage can cost as little as $1.55 per square ft. In the United Kingdom, a parking garage can be as little $1 per square-foot.
A building's parking spaces are shared by several tenants.
The cost per parking space in the San Francisco Bay Area is $1,000 per month.
In London, the average price per parking spot is $2,500.
In India, the office is a common space.
A construction office's office space, on average, occupies about 70 square feet (9.4 square meters).
In New York, an office space occupying 50 square feet is about 2.5 times more common.
The length of a building's office area can vary widely depending on the location.
For example, a building in Mumbai has a typical office space length of 1,500 square feet, while in Seattle it can be 10 times longer.
The construction office has the lowest cost of all the components.
A typical office trailer costs about $2.50 per squarefoot.
An office is more durable than a building.
A large office trailer, which can be used to transport large equipment, such as computers, is more than six times more durable per square meter than a smaller office.
The amount of space a building has per employee can vary by location.
In large cities, the number of employees can be limited to around 100.
However, in the suburbs, it can easily be over 2,000.
A trailer can take up to 40 days to build.
It can take about 15 days to install the office on a new building.
The size of the office space can vary greatly.
For instance, in San Francisco, a one-bedroom office can be about 200 square feet with an average size apartment building of 200 square-feet.
In Toronto, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom office can comfortably house over 3,500 people.
A common office space in New Zealand is about 60 square feet for every square foot of building space.
In Britain, a similar space in London is just about 40 square feet per square square foot.
The number of people in an office can vary.
A small office can accommodate up to 200 people, while a large office can house about 200.
However in London, for example, the space can accommodate about 50 people.
It is common to see offices in cities with a mixed population of employees and office workers.
In Los Angeles, there are two-thirds of office workers, while one-third of office employees live in the city.
In Miami, about one-quarter of office staff live in Miami.
There are different types of office spaces in different cities.
The most common type of office space are garages.
A commercial garage costs about one million pounds ($1.4 million) per square metre.
An industrial garage is another 600,000 pounds ($3.5 million) for a large building.
In some cities, a commercial office space costs more than a hotel.
For this reason, it is common for office workers to rent a commercial space.
For large companies, office workers can rent office space for an average fee of about one and a half million pounds.
The main costs of building office space vary from city to city.
For a commercial building, the main cost is capital costs.
The city where the building is built can also have a larger influence on the cost of the building.
In Tokyo, a city with a population of just over 200,000, a typical capital cost of around 30,000 yen ($20,000) per month is paid by a commercial landlord.
However if the building was constructed in a city of over 100,000 people, the cost could easily reach 40,000 Japanese yen ($4,000).
The biggest cost is transportation costs.
Transportation costs can vary depending on where you live.
In Seattle, transportation is the biggest cost.
It costs about 40,700 yen ($3,000), in

Press Releases
Chairman Nadler Statement for the Markup of H.R. 3372, the One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021
Washington, D.C. - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) delivered the following opening statement, as prepared, during the markup of H.R. 3372, the One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021:
"I am proud to support H.R. 3372, 'The One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021.'
"This bipartisan, bicameral legislation, which passed the Committee and the House last Congress, would authorize grants to community organizations to create centralized reentry intake and coordination centers.
"These centers would serve as the home base for individuals recently released from correctional facilities as they go through the difficult process of rejoining their communities.
"At one stop reentry centers, reentering individuals would be provided personalized, step-by-step assistance to access the resources—both public and private—that are needed to successfully integrate back into their communities.
"At the one stop center, reentering individuals would be given assistance at every step of the way—from the moment they are released until they have the capability to fully rejoin their communities.
"This important legislation recognizes that a comprehensive reentry approach is needed to improve reentry outcomes, which ultimately has the effect of improving public safety.
"The bill adopts a 'whole person' approach that would ensure that all elements of a returning individual's life are supported. This includes transportation to and from appointments, temporary housing, assistance applying for benefits, and job training.
"Additionally, for those who have formal reentry plans, the one stop community reentry centers proposed by this bill would also provide case management and wrap-around support.
"The challenges faced by individuals returning from prison are great, and they warrant the type of support the One Stop Community Reentry Program Act would authorize.
"Unfortunately, the reentry support services that many prisoners receive while incarcerated do not sufficiently prepare them for the transition back to their communities.
"Many incarcerated individuals also have preexisting conditions that make reentry even more difficult. Physical disabilities, mental health concerns, and substance abuse issues further complicate reentry plans and additional support, like those detailed in H.R. 3372, are needed to promote successful outcomes.
"Specialists employed at one stop centers can build relationships with providers, private groups, religious organizations, and public agencies to build networks of support that will help returning individuals get the care and support they need to succeed.
"Inadequate reentry support leads to recidivism and unnecessary financial strain on the community. Both the shortand long-term costs associated with incarceration pale in comparison against the minimal front-end costs associated with a successful reentry.
"Of the few studies that have assessed the effectiveness of reentry services, a number have found that more robust and comprehensive reentry services are better at reducing recidivism and promoting the long-term success of reentering individuals.
"This bill offers greater opportunities for success for individuals returning from prison, as well as their communities.
"I thank Representative Bass, Representative Reschenthaler, and their bipartisan cosponsors, for introducing this important legislation again, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the bill."

Aqualife ENOL for Wine Cellars
For the wine sector, we have developed a modern and effective installation for controlling environmental humidity in wineries, based on high-frequency technology.
Aqualife ENOL allows us to adapt to any type of winery, both from an aesthetic or design point of view, as well as due to its technical conditions.
Both the wood of the barrels and the cork are materials that are directly affected by environmental humidity, affecting the final quality of the wines. If we maintain stable conditions in the ambient relative humidity, we will also extend the life of the barrels.
- Provides humidity through filtered and disinfected water.
- Extends the life of the fresh product, preserving all its qualities.
- Reduces the loss of products by 4%, increasing sales.
- Maximum safety and complies with current regulations (HACCP).
- VERY PROFITABLE INVESTMENT, reliable and durable.
It ensures the correct evolution of the wine during the aging and aging phases. An inadequate temperature and humidity directly influence the evaporation of the wine, with the consequent loss of product that this entails. With Aqualife ENOL, this problem disappears.

Why did Britain Win the Battle of Britain?
Britain won the Battle of Britain because Britain for several reasons on Britain's part, and also to German errors. They won because of Britain's superior technology, leadership and tactics.
The main reason for Britain's victory was that Britain had invested in the Radar in the 1930's. This would prove to be a huge benefactor in the victory, because the detection of incoming German aircraft would allow Britain to estimate the direction and number of Luftwaffe bombers, so that RAF planes would not be caught on the ground and destroyed before they could be put in action. Also, communications systems, radar systems and airfields couldn't be put out of action easily, because Radar would be able to detect the incoming aircraft, and the RAF could send fighters to defend these areas.

One of the essential steps in choosing a suitable industrial air dryer is to test wet materials on the drying equipment. This ensures that the final product is dry and of the quality you want. However, before the testing starts, here are six things to consider when choosing the drying system.
Size And Density
The drying machine's size and capacity depend on the size and weight of the things that need to be dried. For example, drying more minor things is different from drying bigger things. As important as size is, the density of the material is also essential. How the material moves through the dryer is based on how dense it is. Denser materials need different machines than less dense ones.
When choosing industrial air dryers, you should also consider how wet clothes are handled. Sticky or sloppy things are often forced into the dryer so they are not stuck in the line. If the company works with sticky materials, the engineer could choose drying machines with non-stick surfaces or paddles to keep the materials moving.
The roughness and fragility of the material are also things to think about. If the company wants to dry fragile things, it should not use drying equipment that moves things around roughly. Instead, it could use a machine that moves things more gently. On the other hand, if the dried materials are rough, the company could choose drying machines that can handle rough materials to avoid problems with maintenance or damage.
Reaction To Heat
Some things change when they get hot, and when they get to a specific temperature, they might do something. If the machine is drying a chemical solution, it could cause a chemical reaction.
In addition, if some materials are left near specific heat sources for a long time, they could melt or catch fire. Therefore, the dryer could go slower or be more considerable to help bring down the temperature. If the company works with things that are likely to melt, it could choose a dryer with a high temperature and a short time on the job to avoid a possible reaction to the product.
Efficiency And Cost
Cost is an essential part of every big purchase. When buying the machine, the company will consider the cost and the cost of running it. However, the upfront cost should not be the only thing you look at when deciding if a dryer is a good deal or not. Some machines may cost less upfront, but if they do not work well, they will cost more in the long run. And it's essential to think about what kind of fuel the machine runs on.
Lastly, the size of the industrial air dryers should match the amount of work that will be done. It is essential to consider whether the dryer will run all the time or in batches. If the company has big jobs that need a lot of output, using a dryer that is too small will cause it to get clogged, and the operation could stop because the machine will be too busy. On top of that, the dryer could burn out sooner than expected. On the other hand, energy will be wasted if a too-big dryer is chosen. It could also burn the food or make it dry out too much.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a green mobile operator collaborating with other traditional mobile operators. Its goal is to minimize its CO2 emissions, maximize its profit or achieve or tradeoff between both objectives by offloading its users to neighbor networks and exploiting renewable energies. On the other hand, traditional mobile operators aim to maximize their profits by attracting the maximum number of roamed users. The problem is modeled as a two-level Stackelberg game and its equilibrium is derived. A green mobile operator level that determines how many users per each base station to offload to each neighbor network, and a non-green mobile operator level where operators focus on finding the optimal roaming price. Our simulation results show a significant saving in terms of CO2 emissions compared to the non-cooperation case and that roaming decision depends essentially on the availability of renewable energy in base station sites. © 2015 IEEE.

How is the Weather in Olon?
Olon is located right next to Montañita in the Santa Elena province of Ecuador, which has a more Temperate Climate than Salinas, Manta and other coastal cities and towns. The average temperatures according to BING Weather History is:
January - May = 26 to 29°C
June - December = 23 to 26°C
That means it's never cold in Olon. When it rains, it mostly does so at night and never very hard. That makes Olon the ideal spot to stay for a longer while!
Of course, Olon has one of the nicest sandy, wide & long Beaches and romantic Sunsets there are!
Below you can see the current Weather from AccuWeather. But this is not often very accurate, the closest weather station (in Manglaralto) doesn't seem to be very capable of registering and predicting the Weather very accurately.
The area is Green all year, with seasonal streams and small rivers. There is a variety of wildlife to be seen and heard at the Beach and in the Forested Hills. Find many Birds and Butterflies, Howler Monkeys, Deer and other local species!
Olon gives you more options and things to do. The Water Temperature is agreeable all-year-round. When it rains, it's normally in the early morning. There is often a nice breeze from the Ocean in daytime and from the Hills at night, so you don't always need your Air-Conditioning.

There are various ways on how you can tell if your celery has gone bad, and we will discuss the most common ones below:
What happens if I eat bad celery?
The repercussions of eating lousy celery are apparently dangerous. It can turn to a severe food poisoning to severe stomach aches and vomiting.
How long does celery last in the refrigerator?
Answer: For the best results, keep celery heads whole, wrap them up tightly in aluminum foil, and then keep them in the refrigerator crisper drawer as usual. When stored this way, celery stalks can maintain their freshness anywhere from two to four weeks.
Is soggy celery bad?
Limp celery is fine to eat as long as it's not showing other sings of spoilage, such as whitened color or foul smell. It's sensitive to cold and can go limp if stored in too cold of temperatures, like in the bottom drawer of the fridge that's closest to the freezer. Limp celery will have lost its crispy crunch.
Is limp celery still good?
This is because celery is known to be quite sensitive to the cold. When exposed to low temperatures, celery can go limp. This tends to happen most frequently when you store celery in the drawer closet to the freezer. So while celery might lose its crunch and go limp, it's still actually still good to eat.
Why is my celery brown inside?
Rotting stalks in celery are often a sign of infection with the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. Stalk rot, also called crater rot or basal stalk rot, develops most frequently when the weather is warm and wet.
What are black spots on celery?
Late blight, Septoria apii. Late blight is a common fungus disease of celery in Connecticut which appears as small, circular, tan leaf and stem spots. Usually there are small, black dots scattered across the tan spots. Gelatinous threads of spores are exuded from these dots during wet weather.
Can you use limp celery in cooking?
Douse it in a smooth fennel sauce and bake for an unexpected gratin. Use the leaves in an updated chicken salad, with grapes, of course. Let it bring crunchiness to an all-season tabouli. For the truest of celery lovers, purée it into a juice and turn it into a granita.
How do you freshen celery limp?
All you have to do to revive celery is "soak a limp vegetable in water for a few hours and its cells will absorb water and reinflate. Crispness can also be enhanced by making sure that the vegetable is icy cold."
Why is my celery soft?
Limp celery is not really bad, it's just a bit dehydrated, and some other vegetables, it can be brought re-crisped. The procedure is simple. But wait.
What causes Hollow celery stalks?
Heat and drought are its two worst enemies, leaving it with hollow stalks and a stringy texture. Drought-stressed celery may even start to go to seed, leading to a bitter taste.
Does celery have a bad smell?
It may still be green or feel crisp but white and have a weak crunch. While it may still smell OK, it might be hard to detect if it has gone wrong. This is because rotten celery will have no odour. In addition, it might also be too soft to be edible.
Can celery be toxic?
Celery isn't likely to have any toxic effects as long as you take common-sense precautions such as washing your hands or any area of skin that touched the juice from celery, especially the green leafy leaves. Farmers and grocers are at particularly high risk for photosensitivity reactions from psoralens.
Do you need to refrigerate celery?
Refrigeration helps celery stay fresh longer, but celery does not have to be kept refrigerated for food safety. As long as the celery still looks and smells fresh, it should still be good to eat. Make sure to wash the celery carefully before eating it.
What does celery do for the female body?
Keeps your kidney and urinary bladder healthy: Celery is antiseptic in nature and can eliminate bladder disorders, kidney problems, and urinary tract infections in women. Helps in keeping cancer at bay: Celery contains phthalides, flavonoids, and polyacetylenes, which are considered cancer-fighting components.
How long can celery sit out?
Celery wilts within one to two days at room temperature and within two weeks if stored in the fridge. What is this? A whole head of celery wrapped in aluminum foil can last up to one week at room temperature and up to three or four weeks if stored in the crisper drawer.
Is raw celery good for you?
Celery is rich in vitamins and minerals with a low glycemic index. You'll enjoy vitamins A, K, and C, plus minerals like potassium and folate when you eat celery. It's also low in sodium. Plus, it's low on the glycemic index, meaning it has a slow, steady effect on your blood sugar.
Can u freeze celery stalks?
You can freeze celery, but it may lose some of its flavor and crispness. If frozen raw, this veggie lasts up to 2 months, while if you blanch it first, it retains more flavor and lasts 12–18 months.
Why is my celery going yellow?
If your celery has yellow leaves, the plant may have a nitrogen deficiency. The symptom of yellowing leaves begins in the oldest leaves, first gradually affecting all foliage and resulting in stunted plants. Feed the celery with a fertilizer high in nitrogen to correct the imbalance.
Why is celery so gross?
For something so empty that it actually burns calories to eat, celery has a strong taste. It just so happens that this taste is one of the most vile a tongue can experience.

Developing urban metabolism indicators for a better usage in metropolitan area municipalities
The urban metabolism approach has been proposed for more than half a century. Its applications, especially the indicator analysis, are applied in many domains. By the indicator analysis of an area's metabolism, development strategies and urban design outcomes can be proposed from the perspectives of resource consumption and waste production. Since a large number of activities of metropolitan areas' municipalities have started to integrate urban metabolism issues with urban development, there seems to be a substantial gap in the urban metabolism indicator study of metropolitan areas and corresponding local public administrations. This study is aimed at developing urban metabolism indicator framework, to support the urban design procedure of metropolitan area. To put the proposed indicators into practice, a set of urban metabolism indicators is proposed to be adopted in Amsterdam Metropolitan Areas. The selection process is conducted by using the Delphi method. In doing so, 2-round questionnaire is responded by qualified experts to select the most relevant and practicable urban metabolism indicators. Then, these selected indicators are generated and grouped into different categories. By organising the Peri-Urban Living Lab (PULL) Workshop Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, the potential usage of these indicators will be evaluated. In the meantime, PULL stakeholders will categorise and prioritise these indicators from different fields. Afterwards, the urban metabolism indicator framework will be established based on the perspectives from urban metabolism related stakeholders. This exploration contributes to the field of practical application of urban metabolism indicators in municipalities of metropolitan areas.

Socket.Connected Property
Gets a value that indicates whether a Socket is connected to a remote host as of the last Send or Receive operation.
Namespace: System.Net.Sockets
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
public bool Connected { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the Socket was connected to a remote resource as of the most recent operation; otherwise, false.
The Connected property gets the connection state of the Socket as of the last I/O operation. When it returns false, the Socket was either never connected, or is no longer connected.
The value of the Connected property reflects the state of the connection as of the most recent operation. If you need to determine the current state of the connection, make a nonblocking, zero-byte Send call. If the call returns successfully or throws a WAEWOULDBLOCK error code (10035), then the socket is still connected; otherwise, the socket is no longer connected.
If you call Connect on a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) socket, the Connected property always returns true; however, this action does not change the inherent connectionless nature of UDP.
The following code example connects to a remote endpoint, checks the Connected property, and checks the current state of the connection.
//.Connect throws an exception if unsuccessful
// This is how you can determine whether a socket is still connected.
bool blockingState = client.Blocking;
 byte [] tmp = new byte[1];
 client.Blocking = false;
 client.Send(tmp, 0, 0);
catch (SocketException e)
 // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
 if (e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
 Console.WriteLine("Still Connected, but the Send would block");
 Console.WriteLine("Disconnected: error code {0}!", e.NativeErrorCode);
 client.Blocking = blockingState;
 Console.WriteLine("Connected: {0}", client.Connected);

AccelaCAPTURE, Your Electronic Superbill
AccelaCAPTURE™ replaces your paper encounter forms with an intelligent, electronic superbill deployed on a tablet, laptop or desktop PC. The fast capture form enables physicians to work as fast as paper while automating charge entry, providing faster practice throughput, preparing for ICD-10 and enabling digital routing within the medical office. Physician offices can transition to a digital paperless environment without having to change the way they operate now.
AccelaCAPTURE is a minimally invasive technology that can produce major results.
With AccelaCAPTURE, providers simply select diagnosis and procedures using a touch screen or mouse and utilize the notes section of the electronic encounter form for specific instructions to charge entry or front desk personnel. Once the provider completes each encounter, ePASS workflow software routes these charges through the powerful AccelaSMART charge resolution engine, validating compliance with Medicare CCI, Medical Necessity Guidelines, blended LCD's, and payor-specific guidelines. Each encounter form receives multilevel editing. As errors are identified, they are presented to coding staff along with recommendations for correction. Corrected charges or "clean claims" are then automatically uploaded into the practice management system.
- Protects physcian productivity
- Maintains familiar encounter form, but in electronic version
- Eliminates paper expense
- Makes ICD-10 a non-event for the physician
- Automates charge entry
- Eliminates lost or missing encounter forms
- Gives clinical and administrative staff electronic access to encounter forms
- Can be utilized simultaneously with EMR


text: This article empirically examines the impact of R&D and climate change on the Western Australian Agricultural sector using standard time series econometrics. Based on historical data for the period of 1977–2005, the empirical results show that both R&D and climate change matter for long-run productivity growth. The long-run elasticity of total factor productivity (TFP) with respect to R&D expenditure is 0.497, while that of climate change is 0.506. There is a unidirectional causality running from R&D expenditure to TFP growth in both the short run and long run. Further, the variance decomposition and impulse response function confirm that a significant portion of output and productivity growth beyond the sample period is explained by R&D expenditure. These results justify the increase in R&D investment in the deteriorating climatic condition in the agricultural sector to improve the long-run prospects of productivity growth.

This chapter examines the impoverishment process in three South Caucasian states: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. It uses the concept of 'order of curtailment' of consumption expenditures to detect the order of curtailment of expenditures in the Caucasus region. It then suggests computing poverty rates on the basis of a threshold corresponding to the curtailment of a certain number of consumption expenditures categories and compares the poverty rates obtained with those derived from more traditional approaches to the unidimensional measurement of poverty. The empirical illustrations are based on the Caucasus Barometer surveys of 2009 and 2013.
This chapter is an extension of a study that was undertaken for a project of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) entitled 'Strengthening Knowledge Management in Central and West Asia'. The authors are grateful to ADB for financing this study. They also want to thank Dr. Long Q. Trih for his help in collecting information on economic growth and poverty reduction in the Caucasus.

Makers: A History of American Studio Craft
By Janet Koplos and Bruce Metcalf
Here is the first comprehensive survey of modern craft in the United States. "Makers" follows the development of studio craft from its roots in 19th-century reform movements, through the invention of new forms and ideas in the early modern era, and up to the rich diversity of expression at the end of the 20th century. More than 400 illustrations complement this chronological exploration of the American craft tradition.

 Is it caused by an irritant substance or by the roughness of the surface? Either way disposable gloves would help, but in the latter case they would have to be more robust than the typical ones for food use, so it makes a difference – Chris H Dec 3 '18 at 16:37
 - Do you mean blisters start forming on your hands? If so, is it from the friction of working the knife on those roots? – UnhandledExcepSean Dec 3 '18 at 18:57
The colocasia root (also known as the taro root) has calcium oxalate near the surface under its skin. This makes it toxic to eat uncooked and can irritate the skin.
Common methods to avoid skin irritation are oiling the hands (which isn't working for you), peeling them under running water, which rinses off the irritants quicker, and lastly is wearing gloves.
I would recommend getting a box of food grade latex gloves, that should keep your skin from coming into contact with the irritants. Doing it under running water also wouldn't hurt.

How do people survive winter in Sweden?
How to survive the Swedish winter
- Be social. When the day light hours are as rare as a chocolate cake at a Weight Watchers meeting, it is easy to become a bit of a recluse. …
- Walk in the sunshine. The lack of light is hard for everyone, newbies and oldbies alike. …
- Embrace it. …
- Take advantage of it. …
- Arrange home parties.
Winter months in Scandinavia run between December to March and as expected are quite chilly. … For instance, the coldest recorded temperature in Sweden was -52.6 degrees Celsius (-62.5 F)1, while further north in Norway, locals consider temperatures that go below -4 degrees Celsius to be an average winter night.
How do Norwegians embrace winter?
But in Norway, I learned to look for the opportunities winter provides. One of these is intentionally using light to celebrate the darkness of winter. Indoors, families gather around the fireplace or light candles. As trend-watchers know, the embrace of anything cozy is known as hygge in Danish; koselig in Norwegian.
Is Sweden dark for 6 months?
Sweden is a country with big differences in daylight. In the far north, the sun does not set at all in June and there is darkness around the clock in January. However, in January in Stockholm the sun rises at 8:47 am and sets at 2:55 pm, while in July the sun rises at 3:40 am and sets 10:00 pm.
Is Norway dark for 6 months?
At the Arctic Pole, the midnight sun can be seen for six months at a time, continuously and without a break. The further you move south, the less time the midnight sun is visible for; in Northern Norway, it can be seen from late April until August.
Why is it always dark in Norway?
The earth is rotating at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards our star. That's why, for several weeks, the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle. Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period.
Norwegians usually go skiing with woolen underwear and a shell, with an added woolen jumper in their bag. Basically any activity will make you much warmer than you think, hence the risk to sweat and freeze. The objective is therefore to protect yourself from the cold, but not get too warm either.
Is Norway colder than Sweden?
Heat generated by the Gulf Stream and its extension into the Norwegian Sea is the most important reason why Norway experiences a milder climate than Sweden.
The same is true for the southernmost part of Sweden and the milder coastal climate touches the west coast of Norway as well. The central part of Scandinavia from Oslo to Stockholm has a more humid continental climate, which gradually gives way to subarctic climate further north, a lot like the weather in Finland.


How do I remove and replace a laptop key or keycap?
Note: This document is also meant for general reference and may not apply to your laptop. If you have a desktop computer, see removing keys from a desktop keyboard steps.
Notice: Before removing any of the keyboard's keys, make sure the computer is turned off, or at the very least locked so nothing is mistakenly typed as it could cause other problems.
Removing keycap
 1. Laptop keyboard key retainerTo remove the keycap from a keyboard place your finger nail, small flat-head screwdriver, or knife under a corner of the key and gently pry the keycap up and away from the laptop.
 2. In many situations, the key only snaps out partially. If the keycap is still attached to the laptop use your fingers to remove the keycap completely.
 3. Once removed you should see the key retainer (scissor-switch) still attached to the laptop with the pad in the middle. If needed, this too can be removed from the laptop by placing the flat head of a screwdriver or a knife's edge under a corner and gently twisting until it pops off.
Replacing the keycap
Tip: If you need a new keyboard key for you laptop, has a great selection.
 1. With the key removed, carefully observe the metal hooks on the keyboard where the old key used to be.
 2. Orient the plastic hinge (new or old) so that the holes line up with the metal hooks.
 3. Insert the smaller plastic piece, usually referred to as a cup, evenly into the center of the retainer.
 4. Replace the keycap and press evenly on all four sides.

What is Hydro Dipping or Paint Dipping?
Green and pink spray paint being sprayed into water.
Hydro dipping is taking the crafting world by storm! Hydro dipping, also known as immersion printing, uses a water-transfer printing and hydro-imaging process to apply graphics and color to just about any object.
Although some industries, like automakers and sporting goods companies, have been using the technique for quite a while, ordinary folks like you and I seem to just now be catching on to how cool this painting alternative really is.
If you enjoy taking a simple, humdrum item and turning into a totally unique creation, then hydro dipping is definitely worth looking in to.
What is hydro dipping or paint dipping? Hydro dipping is a method of applying color patterns to a wide variety of objects, using tints and paints on the surface of the water. Typically, a paint is initially sprayed onto the water's surface. Then, the item that you are painting is passed through that fluid. When that happens, the paint or ink is evenly applied to the surface.
If you aren't familiar with the process of using hydro dipping or paint dipping and would like to learn more, then you've come to the right place.
In the following, you'll learn how to hydro dip using spray paint and transfer film. Once you start making creative, colorful objects using hydro dipping, you'll be hooked!
What Type of Paints Can You Use to Hydro Dip?
Spray paint is the most commonly used paint when it comes to hydro dipping.
Most people use spray paint hydro dipping along with paper marbling and apply these designs and colors to a variety of three-dimensional objects.
As long as the surface texture of your item can absorb the color and pattern that you've picked, you should be able to create many unique designs.
If you aren't sure whether your surface can absorb the colors and patterns, then consider using sandpaper to sand down your surface to make it more suitable for the paint.
If you have an object that's a complex shape, then you can use sandblasting instead to prepare the piece.
Once you've done that, you can tape all the parts you don't want to hydro dip. Some people even create their own handles with tape so the object is easier to dip.
Using Paint to Hydro Dip
If you plan on using paint to hydro dip, the process isn't too tricky. Just remember to wear gloves.
 1. First, get a plastic container and add water to it. Make sure the box is deep enough so that you can submerge your object. After that, grab any type of acrylic spray paint to get started.
 2. Spray your paint into the water. (If you have any old spray paints lying around, you can use them up when you hydro dip.)
 3. Spray on different areas of the water's surface to create bright, colorful patterns. You can make your designs as vivid and loud as you like. Keep spraying until you like the look and pattern of the colors that you've created.
 4. Slowly lower your item into the container and keep submerging it at a steady pace. The floating color will start wrapping around your object almost like a towel.
 5. It's best to dip items at a 45 degree angle if you want to get the best results. However, you can use different angles if you're going to create different effects with the paint.
 6. Move the paint floating on the water away from you, so you don't wind up adding any additional or unwanted coats or tints on your item.
 7. After you've moved the paint, you can then take your object out and allow it to dry.
 8. Spray a protective coating of polyurethane two or three times on top of your paint coating so that the color and pattern of your paint is protected.
Hydro Dipping with Transfer Film
Another popular method with hydro dipping is to use transfer film. This became popular about 40 years ago and kicked off the mass application of hydro dipping.
You can use these films to achieve all kinds of patterns and colors. They also help to make a uniform appearance using beautiful, bright hues.
If you want to hydro dip using a transfer film, then you'll need a few more items than what you'd need when using spray paint.
You'll need to use a primer to prepare your object, and after you've added your transfer film, you'll also need to apply an activator to make the process set.
While spray paint is probably the most popular form of hydro dipping today, transfer film works well for 3D-printed parts.
When you select the object you want to use the transfer paper on, you'll need to ensure that it can absorb a lot of colors.
Just like with your spray paint, if you aren't sure about the object's ability to hold color, you'll need to sand the surface.
If you are dealing with a more challenging shape, then you should consider sandblasting the object to ensure that the colors will stay.
Once you've done that, tape the areas of your object that you don't want hydro painted. Using the tape, you can make some handles to help you dip your item.
Follow these simple steps:
 1. You can add a base coat of paint onto your object, which may work well, depending on your hydro dipping film. Some films are translucent, and when that's the case, it's a good idea to apply a base coat.
 2. Grab a protective mask since you'll be working with chemicals.
 3. Add primer on the object you are painting. Primer is essential because it will allow the film to stick to your object.
 4. Once you've primed your object, allow it to dry completely. You may need to let it sit for as long as two hours.
 5. Use a plastic container that's deep enough to submerge your object and add some water. Keep the water temperature at 77 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
 6. You'll need to cut down your film so that it's the correct size. Then, glue tape to the edges so your film won't roll or crease.
 7. Grab two edges with your hands and glide your object over the water surface dipping the two sides you aren't holding first. Dip so that you don't get air bubbles underneath your film.
 8. Leave the film in the water for about a minute (this can vary depending on the film you are using, so make sure you check the manufacturer's directions).
 9. Spray the activator on the film when you are ready to activate it.
 10. Slowly submerge your object into the container. The film will start wrapping around your object like a towel. It's a good idea to use a 45-degree angle when you are dipping your objects.
 11. After you've dipped, move the film away so that you don't get another coating added onto your object. Once you've moved it, pull it out. Rinse off your object carefully, and let it sit to dry.
 12. After your object is dry, spray it with a few coats of polyurethane for protection.
Now that you've learned two different techniques for hydro dipping, you can have some fun playing around with the process.
While there is a bit of a learning curve, as soon as you are creating unique, beautiful designs for your objects, your decorating creativity will know no bounds!


How Apps Can Help Migrants Achieve Better Health Outcomes

Key Takeaways
 - A study conducted by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University finds that mobile applications aided by artificial intelligence may help migrants better address their physical and mental health.
 - Immigrants face many barriers to quality health care and are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
 - Experts say providers should keep these barriers and health risks in mind when treating patients who are migrants.
In countries across the globe, some immigrants are twice as likely to contract COVID-19 compared to those born in the country. Throughout the pandemic, immigrants have been disproportionately impacted due to poor housing conditions, jobs that make physical distancing difficult, and lack of access to affordable health care.
While experts say multiple measures need to be taken to help immigrant communities receive adequate health care, a study conducted by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University indicates that mobile applications aided by artificial intelligence (AI) may help migrants better address their physical and mental health.
For the study, researchers surveyed migrants in Greece coming from Africa and Asia over a 10-month period between 2018 and 2019 to see how applications driven by AI could help them integrate into the new culture and achieve better mental and physical health outcomes. Researchers found that mobile apps that used AI—in the form of language assistants, for example—improved health outcomes for migrants by 5.3%, versus 1% improvement for non-AI mobile app users.
The study will be published in the April 2021 edition of the journal Computers in Human Behavior and was published online in December.
Incorporating AI into health apps "might improve the quality and accuracy of health services and create a better match between immigrants' needs and the services provided, leading to greater valuable informational capabilities and outcomes," the study's author Nick Drydakis, PhD, director of the Centre for Pluralist Economics at Anglia Ruskin University in England, tells Verywell.
What This Means For You
If you're struggling to access health care, mobile health apps may be a helpful tool and a first step to seeking treatment. If you're a recent migrant and need assistance in navigating the health system in your area, the web app Services Advisor helps point you to humanitarian services like food, shelter, and medicine. Another web app, Shifra provides sexual and reproductive health information in different languages.
The Study
Apps that include customized search results, health symptom trackers, and virtual assistance for health conditions may bring "advantages compared to those applications which are not aided by AI assistants," Drydakis says.
One clear benefit to apps aided by AI is their ability to help migrants, who may not have proficiency in their new country's main language, access more information when assessing their health concerns. AI language assistants can help migrants understand symptoms or better understand what their doctor told them. The apps could also help migrants who suspect they have a condition that may be stigmatized in their culture.
"Individuals who do not have access to health care and perceive themselves as having a stigmatizing condition are more likely to use m-Health applications for self-diagnosis," Drydakis says. "M-Mental health applications reach population groups who might otherwise not have access to mental health or other clinical care."
M-Integration and m-Health are terms that refer to mobile integration, which is when different apps and devices are connected to achieve a seamless data exchange in your daily life. In this case, it involves connecting health services directly to your phone.
These mobile applications are not supposed to replace treatment, but instead help facilitate care, which Drydakis says their research supports. "Healthcare data which are analyzed by using AI techniques...have been found to achieve better patient education, prevention and checkup, diagnosis, medical predictive modeling, decision support, and treatment outcomes," he says.
Lack of Phones Presents Barrier To Access
While this research found that AI apps can help migrants, many do not have access to or use these apps in the first place. The study found that 32% of migrants in this study did not have a mobile phone, and 42% of migrants who did have phones did not use these applications. Women were also 27% less likely to own a mobile phone than men.
"Mobile phones and m-Integration applications seem to guarantee key human rights such as the right of information, the right to the family life, the right to work and education, the right to cultural identity maintenance, and the right to mental health," Drydakis says. "The World Health Organization recommended the use of digital health in improving health services, particularly for vulnerable populations."
Unique Health Risks of Migrants
While mobile applications can be helpful with integration into a new country, Dabney P. Evans, PhD, MPH, director of the Center for Humanitarian Emergencies and assistant professor of global health in Emory University Rollins School of Public Health in Georgia, tells Verywell that providers should be very cautious in how they treat migrants, particularly if they are refugees or asylum seekers.
"Asylum seekers and refugees, in particular, frequently experience torture or other forms of persecution by their home government," Evans says. She stresses that healthcare providers should keep this in mind when treating patients because the consequent health effects can include "physical injury, but they can also include mental effects which are long-lasting things like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression."
When it comes to helping migrants adjust to a new country, Evans said that it is important to not let them receive substandard care. "We want to think about providing ethical high-quality standards of care, just as we would to any other population, and that may be more challenging," Evans says. She cites lack of access to health care and issues with trust in the U.S. as potential barriers for migrants. Many migrants may be hesitant to go to the hospital in-person due to concerns about being detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, she adds.
Evans pointed to apps used by Planned Parenthood Federation to help migrants traveling to the U.S. "They were using some mobile apps to be able to provide emergency contraception and other sexual reproductive health services along the routes that people were taking as they were traveling from Central America up through Mexico," Evans says. "That was more of a health service provision for populations on the move" until they were able to access doctors.
Migrant Health During COVID-19 in the U.S.
In addition to AI apps, there are other steps the U.S. can take to improve access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic for immigrant populations. An article published in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases recommended that the following policy changes be introduced:
 1. Expand Medicaid in all states to cover more low-income adults
 2. Fund SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) testing and COVID-19 treatment for all uninsured individuals, regardless of immigration status
 3. Get rid of immigration status requirements for children when assessing their eligibility for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
 4. Include immigrants who have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and their families in economic relief packages
Drydakis also believes that AI health apps can play an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Mobile applications aided by AI enable users to access customized information and services 24/7," Drydakis says. "Current studies have found that M-health technologies are a viable option in monitoring COVID-19 patients at home, and to predict who will need medical intervention."

Druva Documentation
Exchange Online restore fails with Server not reachable error for users provisioned from Azure to Druva using SCIM
Problem description
When performing a restore of Exchange Online backed-up data, the restore gets triggered but fails instantly with the following error.
Error: Server not reachable. (#100000011)
After further investigation with Support, we find the following error:
The primary SMTP address must be specified.
Cause
This issue has a series of steps as follows:
 1. On the Azure AD -> Enterprise Applications -> Druva's SCIM app -> Provisioning -> Attribute Mapping section, the following mapped:
Azure AD userPrincipalName was mapped with Druva UserName.
2. There is no mapping of the mail attribute from Azure to Druva.
3. The UPN and PrimarySMTPAddress in Microsoft 365 are different. For example:
UserPrincipalName in Microsoft 365 is set to "_EMAIL_" value. However, the Primary SMTP Address is set to "_EMAIL_" value.
4. On the inSync Management Console menu bar, click the Left_Navigation_Bar_Hamburger_Icon.png icon to access the global navigation panel.
5. Click SaaS Apps.
6. Click Microsoft 365
7. Click Overview
8. Click on the More icon on the top-right corner and click Settings.
9. The Access user account using dropdown is set to inSync Email ID.
This leads to the following workflow:
 1. With SCIM Provisioning, the user was added to Druva from Azure with the UserPrincipalName attribute under Druva's UserName attribute.
 1. In inSync, the UserName attribute translates to inSync Email ID
Hence, inSync Email ID is now _EMAIL_ whereas in Microsoft 365, the user's PrimarySMTPAddress is _EMAIL_

 1. inSync will send the _EMAIL_ to Exchange Online at the time of the restore job.
 2. Since there is a mismatch of the SMTP Address, Exchange Online will reject the request and Druva will get the error: The primary SMTP address must be specified.
 3. In the user's restore logs, we get the Server not reachable error.
Note: This setup does not impact backup operation as Exchange Online will match the inSync Email ID with either the SMTP, alias, or UserPrincipalName of the user and will allow Druva to read the data.
The issue only occurs when we are trying to write the data to Exchange Online when Microsoft specifically needs the proper SMTP address.
Download the user's logs using the following steps:
 1. Navigate to the inSync Management Console.
 2. Click Users.
 3. Click on the affected user's account.
 4. Click on the More icon next to the Restore button.
 5. Select Download Debug Logs.
Resolution
Step 1: Fix the attribute mappings in Azure AD - Druva SCIM App.
The following provision should be set via the SCIM App in Azure AD:
(source) Azure AD Attribute
(target) Druva Attribute
mail
userName
userPrincipalName
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:Druva:2.0:User:userPrincipalName
Note: The Druva Attributes translates to:
userName = inSync Email Address
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:Druva:2.0:User:userPrincipalName = userPrincipalName.
The userPrincipalName in Druva is not access on the inSync Management Console. It is updated on the backend in database.
Follow the below steps to achieve the above configuration:
To add a userPrincipalName attribute for Druva in the Attribute Mapping:
 1. Select Show advanced options.
 2. Click the Edit attribute list for the Druva link.
ShowAdvancedOptions.png
3. On the Edit Attribute List windows, set all values as follows:
 - Name: urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:Druva:2.0:User:userPrincipalName
 - Type: String
4. Click Save.
5. Navigate to Druva App Provisioning and click userPrincipalName attribute.
6. Change it to mail as follows.
Hence, the Azure AD mail attribute is now targeting Druva's userName attribute.
7. Click Add New Mapping.
8. Select Source attribute as userPrincipalName and Target attribute as urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:Druva:2.0:User:userPrincipalName.
AzureADAttribute.png
9. Click Save. The attribute appears in the Attribute Mappings.
10. Azure has a default auto-provisioning cycle of 40 minutes since the last provisioning cycle. You may wait until then or you may run the manual provisioning with the Provision on Demand option.
11. After the user provisioning is completed, you may attempt the restore once again.
Step 2: Change inSync's settings to access user account in Microsoft 365:
To ensure that both OneDrive and Exchange Online continue to get backed up successfully, implement the following changes:
 1. On the inSync Management Console menu bar, click the Left_Navigation_Bar_Hamburger_Icon.png icon to access the global navigation panel.
 2. Click SaaS Apps.
 3. Click Microsoft 365.
 4. Click Overview.
 5. Click on the More icon next to the Reconfigure button.
 6. Click Settings
7. Click on the Access user accounts using dropdown and set it to AD Attribute.
8. Click Save

scp -rp -P 2222 $SOURCE_DIRECTORY [email protected]$REMOTE_SERVER:$DESTINATION_DIRECTORY;
sleep 60;
done;
The above code was used to copy the contents of a local folder to a remote one every one minute. We did not want to lose the metadata of the files (including the modification date of the files) so we used the -p parameter to preserve that information.
The -P 2222 parameter instructs scp to use a different port rather the default.
The -r is used to instruct the copy to get all contents of the folder and its sub-folders.
The above code as a one-liner is:
while true; do date; scp -rp -P 2222 $SOURCE_DIRECTORY [email protected]$REMOTE_SERVER:$DESTINATION_DIRECTORY; sleep 60; done;
Download Large Jupyter Workspace files
Recently, we were working on a Jupyter Workspace at _URL_. As there was no option to download all files of the workspace nor there was a way to create an archive from the GUI, we followed the procedure below (that we also use on Coursera.org and works like a charm):
First, we clicked on the blue button with the + sign in it.
That opened the Launcher tab that is visible on the image above.
From there, we clicked on the Terminal button under the Other category.
In the terminal, we executed the following command to create a compressed archive of all the files we needed to download:
tar -czf Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz ray_tutorial/ Ray-Tutorial/ rllib_tutorials/;
After the command completed its execution, we could see our archive on the left list of files. By right-clicking it we we are able to initiate its download. Unfortunately, after the first 20MB the download would always crash! To fix this issue, we split the archive to multiple archives of 10MB each, then downloaded them individually and finally merged them back together on our PC. The command to split the compressed archive to multiple smaller archives of fixed size was the following:
tar -czf - ray_tutorial/ Ray-Tutorial/ rllib_tutorials/ | split --bytes=10MB - Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.;
After downloading those files one by one by right-clicking on them and then selecting the Download option we recreated the original structure on our PC using the following command:
cat Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.* | tar xzvf -;
To clean up both the remote Server and our Local PC, we issued the following command:
rm Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.*;
This is a guide on how to download a very big Jupyter workspace by splitting it to multiple smaller files using the console.
