Bible Question:
Is God the only One who can truly heal? Today, healings are reported in occult religions. The Bible teaches that Christ healed as compelling evidence that He was the Messiah. Some say Satan cannot perform supernatural works but only super normal ones and can only work through the natural process of healing. Some say Satan can only remove a sickness that he put upon them, and then let the body recover naturally. Can Satan make people sick and heal people too?
Bible Answer:
Can Satan heal? A search of the Bible reveals that healing is referred to over 150 times in the Bible, depending upon the translation. However, there are no statements in the Bible that say Satan or demons have healed or can heal. Yet, one question that we must ask is, "Are there any examples in Scriptures that suggest or reveal Satan can heal?" Another question is, "Are there any comments by Christ that reveal Satan can heal or cannot heal?" What follows will answer these questions.
Can Satan Heal
Can Satan Heal?
We will examine two important examples and one teaching from Christ that will help us learn if Satan can heal. The first example is that of the Egyptian magicians who copied the plagues of Aaron. The second example is the statement that the antichrist's fatal wound was healed. The teaching from Jesus is found in Matthew 12:25-29.
Egyptian Magicians Duplicated Plagues
The first example is found in the book of Exodus when Moses stood before Pharaoh and performed signs and wonders were performed. The sign that was performed occurred when Aaron cast his staff to the ground and it became a snake (Exodus 7:8-10). Then Pharaoh's wise men, sorcerers and magicians did the same with their "secret arts" (Exodus 7:11-13). Moses and Aaron next turned water into wine and so did the court magicians (Exodus 7:14-25). Then Moses and Aaron, as well as, the court magicians brought frogs upon the earth (Exodus 8:1-15). But after Moses and Aaron brought flies on the land, the court magicians could not (Exodus 8:16-19) and declared in verse 19,
This is the finger of God. Exodus 8:19 (NASB)
Then we are told the magicians could not duplicate Aaron's signs and wonders that caused cattle to die (Exodus 9:1-7), brought a plague of boils (Exodus 9:8-17), causing hail (Exodus 9:18-35), creating a plague of locust (Exodus 10:1-20; bring darkness on the land (Exodus 10:21-28), and causing the death of the first born (Exodus 11:1-3; 13:15-16).
It is important to notice that Egyptian court magicians could only duplicate the first three of the ten plagues. They could not heal the pharaoh's son and bring him back to life after he died. That is, the power of the court magicians was limited. They could not heal. This means Satan could not heal.
Antichrist's Fatal Wound That Was Healed
The second example is found in Revelation 13:3 where we are told that in the future the antichrist will have a "fatal wound" that will be healed.
I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast... Revelation 13:3 (NASB)
Then verses 11-14 state,
Since Satan will empower the antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10), some people have claimed that these verses reveal that Satan has the power to raise the dead, including raising the antichrist. They reason this reveals Satan can also heal. But this conclusion is wrong for two simple reasons. The first reason is found in verse 3 where we are told one of his heads "as if it had been slain." Notice that verse 1 tells us the antichrist has seven heads. Obviously, the antichrist will not have seven heads. The reference to heads is not about a man's head, but seven nations. Therefore, this is not about a healing. Second, notice the word "if" in verse 3 implies that the head was not actually cut off. The world will be deceived into believing a lie. Therefore, we conclude that Revelation 13:3, 11-14 does not describe a healing miracle. So, Satan did not perform a healing.
If Satan Casts Out Satan, He Is Divided
Now we will consider the teaching from Jesus in Matthew 12:26-28. In this passage we are told that when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees He said,
Here Jesus revealed that Satan will not cast demons out of someone who is demon possessed. Why? If he did, he would be working against himself. Why would he command one of his demons to possess someone, and then perform an exorcism to remove the demon? There are two important points to notice. First, if Satan did exorcise one of his demons, then he has accomplished nothing. Second, if he did, then it would only be an act of deception. In both cases, Satan has not healed. It is all deception. That is, Satan cannot heal. But notice that Jesus' point is that Satan will perform a healing of casting out a demon. The truth is, Satan cannot heal illness or injury.
Only God Can Heal
The final section reveals that only God can and does heal. We will start with Matthew 4:23-24 which says,
Here we are reminded that Jesus healed and cast out demons. Even when the apostles healed people, they were not the ones who actually performed their healings. Peter reminded a man that Jesus Christ, our God, performed the healing.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up. Acts 9:34 (NASB)
At the end of the gospel of John, the apostle tells us that all the signs recorded in the gospel of John were done so that we will believe Jesus is the Son of God; that is, that Jesus was and is God.
It is clear from John 10:31-33, 36 that "Son of God" and "God" are interchangeable terms. That is, John recorded the signs so that people will believe that Jesus was and is God. The point is that healing is the exclusive power of God. In summary, the gospels teach that Jesus Christ could and did heal people and cast out demons.
This conclusion is supported by many Old Testament verses. One of them is Deuteronomy 32:39. In this passage, God is speaking.
See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Deuteronomy 32:39
God says He puts to death and gives life. It is He who wounds and heals. That is, no one else other than God can heal. Job says,
For He inflicts pain, and gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.
Job 5:18 (NASB)
A familiar passage is,
Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
Psalm 103:3 (NASB)
The last verse declares that God is our healer. No one else is our healer.
I, the LORD, am your healer. Exodus 15:26 (NASB)
No one else can heal. God and God alone can heal.
Can Satan fake a healing? Yes! He can only fake a healing because he cannot actually heal. Only our God can heal. The ability to heal was one of the proofs that Jesus Christ was and is our God.

Engraving of the Oxford Physic Garden, England, 1675
Physic gardens were a common feature in the 1700s. They were used to grow plants for drug preparations and were arranged according to the properties of the plants they contained. For example, plants with spiky leaves were likely to be grouped together. The Oxford Physic Garden was founded in 1621 by Henry Danvers, the Earl of Danby. He donated £5,000 to set up the garden – the equivalent of £3.5 million today. It is the oldest garden of its kind in the United Kingdom. The garden is now known as the Oxford Botanic Gardens after a name change in 1840. This print is from Oxonia Illustrata by David Logg (1633/5-92), engraver to Oxford University.

Does the "simulation temperature" setting in MODE do anything?
I tried to change the "simulation temperature" in the general tab of FDE or varFDTD (default value is 300K). I was expecting Neff of a silicon WG to change due to silicon's thermo-opto effect. However, the simulation results do not appear to change al all with different temperature values. Is this how it should be?
Dear _USER_.xie
The value for simulation temperature will be important if you use a perturbed index material. To add such a material, click on Add and then select index perturbation in Material Database:
In the simulation file attached, I have two silicon rectangles. These two rectangles have different materials, and index for rectangle 1 is a function of temperature. By setting different values for simulation temperature you can study how the index varies:
As you can see in the figure above, only rectangle 1 (the top rectangle) is affected by simulation temperature.
I hope this answered your question.

Dear Behzad,
This is a perfect answer to my question. Thank you so much.

Hi,
I'm interested in information about how to find jump connections between nodes of a navigation mesh and how to store them.
To find jump connection does not mean to test for free jump space, in my opinion it is more about, where should I look for possible jump connections. For example if there is a box on a plane so there are at least 5 nodes in the navigation mesh and if I just concentrate at one node from the plane and the node from the top of the box, there are jumps from the edges of the plane node and from the center of this node to the top of the box. Is it usefull to just look for jumps from edges of nodes to edges of other nodes or what are useful restrictions to look for jump connections?
One jump can be described as a parabel, which is defined by a strength and an angle. Is there a way to describe several jumps form a line to another line, if it is usefull to look for jump connections just between edges of the navigation mesh nodes?
I tried hard to find any solid papers or anything addressing this topic. I would really appreciate any reference to good resources on that topic, because i feel like i am missing something (like totally missing the magic search keyword Posted Image)

Knowing that there actually are no documents on this topic would be just as satisfying for me :)
Is anybody adequately sure that there is no solid info about automatic jump point calculation out there?

i personally know of no documentations on pathing jumpable objects, but what i'd suggest is to do a two pass system when creating your path map, and pre-calculate the jump point's in the second path for a given jumpable height. then store the map for each object that has x height. so, in the first pass, you'd create a regular navigation nodes, and each node would contain how to transverse to it's surrounding nodes. during the second pass, take each node, and get the maximum distance that jumper can move at full speed, and highest jump. find all the nodes that are within this distance to the center node. from thier, check if the jump would be legal for reaching each node(i.e. find the height of the landing position, and check to make sure it aligns with the arc of the jumper, as well to make sure he wouldn't hit any other nodes while jumping, and make sure to also assign the required forward momentum to achieve such a jump.)
finally, after the nodes have been mapped with jumping, you can assign "jump paths" to a higher value in the heuristic for determing pathing, so that if it can walk between the nodes, objects won't keep jumping between nodes. and then you can do normal pathing techniques, and simply approach the "jump paths" as requiring a diffrent action to get between nodes.
the draw back to this method is a higher memory cost,(although the second pass could be done at run-time, it'd defiantly benefit far more to do it at initialization time.), and it would be harder to coordinate multiple agents with several path maps in use.
anyway, that's my two cents on the subject

Check out Recast. In the editor tool they provide, you can specify different parameters that determine which places are jumpable and whatnot. Here's a quick article I wrote that might be helpful if you choose to go this route.

@slicer4evr
Thank you for your feedback! Posted Image
I think you are right about the two passes, the jump connection calculation should be done after the navigation-mesh/waypoint-graph generation, because it greatly benefits from the knowledge where a character is even able to move to.
The best i could find on practical implementation is what Mikko Mononen did for Killzone 3. He postet on his blog about it (where he also released the source code) and talked about his implementation at the Paris Game/AI Conference 2011. The Slides are available, but without the speech they are just hints about what he talked, i would love to hear that speech, probably very helpful for me.

When not triggered by an alarm+ are the ground closure pins on the REMOTE connector of a waveform monitor floating or set to logical low?
問題：
When not triggered by an alarm+ are the ground closure pins on the REMOTE connector of a waveform monitor floating or set to logical low?
答案：
The ground closure pins on the remote port have nothing to do with the logic pins on that same port. When the ground closure is closed (triggered by an alarm) that pin becomes a ground point and completes a circuit. When the ground closure is open (not being triggered by an alarm) it is a floating node which prevents a circuit from forming. If it were set to logic low it would be the same as a ground but 10 volts lower.

Integrated Team Learning Program Helps U.S. Air Force ACC AMIC Achieve a Project Success Rate of Near 100%
Job Done Right
U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) wanted to improve the capabilities of its acquisition team and break down perceived silos between various technical areas. As an initial effort, they wanted to focus on training civilian and military technical experts in contract management and project management. The learning program needed to be appropriate for military personnel, who rotate through the team approximately every 24-36 months. It also needed to address the reality that technical military team members arrive with varying levels of contract and project management knowledge, experience and skills.
This case study discusses:
- The challenge of developing ongoing learning and knowledge transfer
- The need for common language and strategic understanding of each other's roles
- Dual track project and contract management training and certificate program
- The impact of the solution on AMIC's project success rate and on the acquisition process

Maintenance, the device and car repairs Ford Focus - 3.3. A control lamp of emergency pressure of oil//Ford Focus - mybestwatch.ru
Ford Focus>> System of greasing of the engine>> Control lamp of emergency pressure of oil
The control lamp lights up at pressure in the greasing system, equal 30 — 50 kPas which cannot provide existence of a necessary oil film in rubbing places of the engine. The lamp can light up also when the car goes on a bend with a minimum level of oil: as centrifugal forces arising thus move oil in a case towards turn and the oil pump cannot take away necessary amount of oil. After fast driving on автобану or at movement on lifting the lamp idling starts to blink, it is a sign of that it is not enough pressure of oil. As soon as the lamp by the first pressing a gas pedal dies away again, it should not cause in you concern, however let's burn with it long, cool the engine better.
If the control lamp burns constantly, act as follows:
- immediately stop and muffle the engine;
- check level of oil and if necessary add it. Otherwise go carefully before the following filling and add oil there. Check after that, whether the lamp dies away at the working engine;
- if the lamp does not die away, tow off the car in the next workshop and find out the reason by means of the expert.

Reconstructing the state-space
The first problem in modelling a time series like the one described by Equations (2.6) and (2.7) is to try to reconstruct the original state-space or its equivalent, i.e. to find the structure of the manifold $ M$.
Two spaces are topologically equivalent if there exists a continuous mapping with a continuous inverse between them. In this case it is sufficient that the equivalent structure is a part of a larger entity, the rest can easily be ignored. Thus the interesting concept is embedding, which is defined as follows.
Definition 1 A function $ f: X \rightarrow Y$ is an embedding if it is a continuous mapping with a continuous inverse $ f^{-1}: f(X)
\rightarrow X$ from its range to its domain.
Whitney showed in 1936 [62] that any $ d$-dimensional manifold can be embedded into $ \mathbb{R}^{2d+1}$. The theorem can be extended to show that with a proper definition of almost all for an infinite-dimensional function space, almost all smooth mappings from given $ d$-dimensional manifold to $ \mathbb{R}^{2d+1}$ are embeddings [53].
Having only a single time series produced by Equation (2.7), how does one get those $ 2d+1$ different coordinates? This problem can usually be solved by introducing so called delay coordinates [53].
Definition 2 Let $ \phi$ be a flow on a manifold $ M$, $ \tau > 0$, and $ h: M
\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a smooth measurement function. The delay coordinate map with embedding delay $ \tau$, $ F(h, \phi, \tau): M
\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ is defined by
$\displaystyle \mathbf{s}\mapsto \left( h(\mathbf{s}), h(\phi^{-\tau}(\mathbf{s}...
...h(\phi^{-2\tau}(\mathbf{s})), \ldots, h(\phi^{-(n-1)\tau}(\mathbf{s})) \right).$
Takens proved in 1980 [55] that such mappings can indeed be used to reconstruct the state-space of the original dynamical system. This result is known as Takens' embedding theorem.
Theorem 3 (Takens) Let $ M$ be a compact manifold of dimension $ d$. For triples $ (f, h,
\tau)$, where $ f$ is a smooth vector field on $ M$ with flow $ \phi$, $ h: M
\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a smooth measurement function and the embedding delay $ \tau > 0$, it is a generic property that the delay coordinate map $ F(h, \phi, \tau): M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2d+1}$ is an embedding.
Takens' theorem states that in the general case, the dynamics of the system recovered by delay coordinate embedding are the same as the dynamics of the original system. The exact mathematical definition of this ''in general'' is, however, somewhat more complicated [46].
Definition 4 A subset $ U \subset X$ of a topological space is residual if it contains a countable intersection of open dense subsets. A property is called generic if it holds in a residual set.
According to Baire's theorem, a residual set cannot be empty. Unfortunately that is about all that can be said about it. Even in Euclidean spaces, a residual set can be of arbitrarily small measure. With a proper definition for almost all in infinite-dimensional spaces and slightly different assumptions, Sauer et al. showed in 1991 that the claim of Takens' theorem actually applies almost always [53].

The Water Management Program
The Trent-Severn Waterway is a 386-kilometre inland canal system crossing central Ontario from Trenton on the Bay of Quinte to Port Severn on Georgian Bay. Natural rivers and lakes are connected by canal cuts, locks, and dams to form a navigable route through two neighbouring watersheds – the Trent and the Severn. There are three key components to the Waterway: the Trent River watershed, the Reservoir Lakes, and the Severn River watershed (Figure 1
). The characteristics of the three components are summarized here and described in more detail in fact sheets provided as appendices.
Figure 1. Watersheds of the Trent-Severn Waterway© Parks Canada
Runoff and Evaporation
Runoff rates and evaporation losses are determined by the characteristics of the lands in the watersheds and weather conditions.
South of the Shield
- Primarily rock and shallow soils
- Rapid runoff
- Less evaporation due to deeper lakes
- Deeper soils
- Slower runoff: depending on the time of year, only about 25% of precipitation appears as runoff flows
- Greater evaporation due to shallower lakes with larger surface
The Trent River watershed drains to Lake Ontario. The river basin has an area of 12,200 square kilometres and includes the reservoir lakes. Approximately one third of the basin lies in the Canadian Shield, with the other two thirds in the rolling farmlands of southern Ontario. The Trent River basin contains the Kawartha Lakes: Rice, Katchewanooka, Clear, Stony, Lovesick, Lower Buckhorn, Buckhorn, Chemong, Pigeon, Sturgeon, Scugog, Cameron and Balsam. These lakes lie primarily south of the Canadian Shield in rolling countryside, where rainfall runoff is usually slow and evaporation losses in the summer are high. The Otonabee and the Trent are the two primary rivers, with the Otonabee connecting Katchewanooka Lake and Rice Lake and the Trent connecting Rice Lake and the Bay of Quinte.
The Reservoir Lakes to the north consist of forty-four lakes in the Haliburton Highlands area that are dammed to collect spring runoff water. Water from the Reservoir Lakes is released over the summer to supply the Trent component of the Waterway. These lakes lie in the Precambrian Shield on the tributaries of the Gull, Burnt, and Mississagua River, as well as Nogies, Eels, and Jack Creek. The drainage area of the Haliburton tributaries (Gull and Burnt River) is in the order of 3,200 square kilometres.
The Severn River watershed
lies immediately west of the Trent River watershed and drains into Georgian Bay. This 6,160 square kilometre drainage area has three major components:
- The Lake Simcoe and Couchiching basin, including the Talbot River
- The Black River watershed that feeds into the Severn River downstream of Lake Couchiching
- The lakes and channels of the Severn River below Washago, including Sparrow Lake, Six Mile Lake and Gloucester Pool
Most of the drainage area for the Lake Simcoe-Couchiching basin is in the rolling farmland and deeper soils characteristic of the southern area. As a result, water run-off is slow and evaporation losses from both land and lake surfaces are high.
The Black River watershed, located in the thin soils and rock of the Precambrian Shield, is virtually unregulated and produces rapid run-off of precipitation with lower evaporation losses. Consequently, even though the Black River watershed is less than half of the area of the Simcoe-Couchiching basin, its long-term average flow is comparable. The Black also has high peak flows during the spring period. The watercourses of the Black and the Severn Rivers contain numerous narrow sections and natural constrictions that increase water levels in the river and create upstream flooding during high flows.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. (Albert Einstein)
The Treatment Centre for Victims of Torture (TZFO), opened in1995, was the first standard treatment centre in Switzerland for refugee victims of torture and war. A scientific study commissioned by the Swiss Red Cross ("The Language of Extreme Violence", H.R. Wicker, 1991) provided the basis. According to the study, a quarter of the recognized refugees living in Switzerland were victims of systematic torture in their home country.
In 2002, the treatment centre was renamed the Swiss Red Cross Outpatient Clinic for Victims of Torture and War (AFK) and integrated into the Swiss Red Cross Centre for Migration and Health. The Swiss Red Cross AFK is now part of the Department of Health and Integration and forms a permanent feature of what the Swiss Red Cross offers as standard. It employs 13 established specialists in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, medicine, and welfare advice, and three secretarial and administrative staff. The work of the specialists is supported by around 25 translators in over 20 languages.


text: Exquisite workmanship and lavish use of precious materials distinguish this sword as a princely weapon and exemplifies the opulence and refinement of Ottoman luxury arts. Almost identical to a yatagan (now in the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul) made in 1526–27 by the court jeweler Ahmed Tekel, for the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66), this sword was undoubtedly made in the same imperial workshop. The gold incrustation on the blade depicts a combat between a dragon and a phoenix against a background of foliate scrolls. These figures, like the gold-inlaid cloud bands and foliate scrolls on the ivory grips, are Chinese in inspiration, and were probably introduced into Ottoman art through contacts with Persia. This sword is one of the earliest known yatagans, distinctly Turkish weapons characterized by a double-curved blade and a hilt without a guard. Yatagans were commonplace in Turkey and the Balkans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and served as sidearms for the elite troops known as janissaries.

- For Occasional Surge, PPI-PACE defaults to 8 fps for design velocity; the software allows for a 5-15 fps range.
- For Working Pressure, PPI-PACE defaults to 70 psi - which is the average working pressure in the US. The minimum allowable value in PPI-PACE is 40 psi.
- For Anticipated Recurring Surges, PPI-PACE defaults to 55 cycles (the minimum) per day per AWWA C900-07 and AWWA C905-10 (Appendix B/Design Example); this results in about 1 million cycles for a 50-year design life and about 2 million cycles for a 100-year design life. It was recommended by one consultant to design for 3.5 million cycles or 96 cycles per day at a 100-year design life. The minimum allowable value in PPI-PACE is the default 55 cycles/day.
- For Temperature, PPI-PACE defaults to 57°F which is the average water temperature in the US; the software allows 40-100°F; consult the manufacturer for other temperatures.
- For Minimum Design Life, PPI-PACE defaults to 100 years; the software allows a minimum recommended design life of 50 years.
- For Help, refer to Resistance of PE4710 Piping to Pressure Surge Events in Force Main Applications, PP XVI, Barcelona, 2012 and to UK Water Industry IGN 4-37-02 Design Against Surge and Fatigue Conditions for Thermoplastic Pipes
- The definition of pressure rating and pressure class differ between the implemented standards (AWWA C900, AWWA C905, AWWA C906, ASTM F714, ASTM D2241). The calculations on this site, provided by eTrenchless Inc., provide an unbiased interpretation of these standards so that an equivalent comparison of pipe materials can be conducted.
- Temperature derating factors for PE pipe in AWWA-M55 are limited to 100°F with a reference to manufacturers literature for temperatures greater than 100°F. ASTM F714 (PE) and AWWA-M23 (PVC) publishes temperature derating factors up to 140°F but these higher temperatures are not included in this design tool.
The design fatigue life for PVC is determined using the calculation method stated in AWWA C900 and C905 Appendix B using a 2:1 design factor. Data from tests with PE 4710 pipe are consistent with the UKWIR and Marshall/Brogden reports; see above reference and link to PP XVI Barcelona, 2012. For PE the design fatigue life is determined using fatigue curves provided in Marshall, G.P., Brogden, S: Final report of Pipeline Innovation Contract to UKWIR, 1997 using a 2:1 design factor.
For additional information on fatigue life and flow velocities see the Jana Laboratories report here. The design fatigue life of Ductile Iron (DI) pipe is not shown in PPI-PACE since these calculations are not available or referenced in the DI AWWA Standards or Manuals.
- Pressure rating should be reduced for systems operating under special or unusual conditions or where the pipe transports fluids that are known to have some degrading effect on the properties of polyethylene or where specified in Codes or Regulations or by the authority having jurisdiction. Water is the assumed transport fluid on PPI-PACE.
- Occasional transients caused by emergency pump and valve operations are usually severe. The system should be designed to withstand positive and negative pressures caused by these emergency operations. Water column separation may occur if the negative pressure is reduced to the vapor pressure of the liquid. Rejoining of the separated water column typically results in a large pressure rise, which will possibly damage the pipe system. Whenever possible, water column separation should be avoided
- These are preliminary calculations for product comparison only, not for final design. Qualified professionals should be contracted to consider all aspects of the design for pressure pipe design.

Roll back firmware through the REST API
The ExtraHop REST API enables you to roll back firmware on a sensor or ECA VM to a previous version. In this topic, we show methods for rolling back firmware on a single system through the ExtraHop REST API Explorer and rolling back firmware on multiple systems with a Python script.
If you have upgraded both an ECA VM and connected sensors, you must roll back the sensors before you roll back the ECA VM.
Warning:Rolling back the firmware on a sensor resets the datastore and removes all metrics. Connected sensors are unaffected.
Important:Rollback is not supported for ExtraHop recordstores or packetstores. If you need to roll back ExtraHop recordstores or packetstores, contact ExtraHop Support for assistance.
Roll back firmware through the REST API Explorer
Important:The REST API Explorer is not available on Reveal(x) 360.
 1. In a browser, navigate to the REST API Explorer.
 The URL is the hostname or IP address of your sensor or console, followed by /api/v1/explore/. For example, if your hostname is seattle-eda, the URL is https://seattle-eda/api/v1/explore/.
 2. Click Enter API Key and then paste or type your API key into the API Key field.
 3. Click Authorize and then click Close.
 4. View the previous version of firmware you can roll back to.
 1. Click ExtraHop and then click GET /extrahop/firmware/previous.
 2. Click Try it out.
 3. Click Send Request.
 The Server response section displays the following information:
 version: The previous firmware version that the system can be rolled back to.
 backup_time: The last time that the sensor or console generated a backup file before being upgraded to the current version, expressed in milliseconds since the epoch. The sensor or console automatically creates a backup each time the system is upgraded.
 The information appears in a format similar to the following text:
 {
 "version": "8.4.0.1522",
 "backup_time": 1617229294388
 }
 5. Roll back the firmware version.
 1. Click POST /extrahop/firmware/previous/rollback.
 2. Click Try it out.
 3. Click Send Request.
 The Server response section displays a 202 status code.
 Note:The rollback process might take several minutes to complete.
 6. Verify the firmware upgrade is complete.
 1. Click GET /extrahop.
 2. Click Try it out.
 3. Click Send Request.
 If the firmware rollback process is complete, the Server response section displays a 200 status code and the version of firmware the sensor or console is currently running.
 If the firmware rollback process is still in progress, the Server response section displays a 503 error code.
Retrieve and run the example Python script
The ExtraHop GitHub repository contains an example Python script that rolls back firmware for multiple sensors or consoles by reading URLs and API keys from a CSV file.
Important:The example python script authenticates to the sensor or console through an API key, which is not compatible with the Reveal(x) 360 REST API. To run this script with Reveal(x) 360, you must modify the script to authenticate with API tokens. See the py_rx360_auth.py script in the ExtraHop GitHub repository for an example of how to authenticate with API tokens.
 1. Go to the ExtraHop code-examples GitHub repository and download the rollback_firmware/rollback_firmware.py file to your local machine.
 2. Create a CSV file with rows that contain the following columns in the specified order:
 System hostname API key
 Tip:The rollback_firmware directory contains an example CSV file named systems.csv.
 3. In a text editor, open the upgrade_system.py file and replace the following configuration variables with information from your environment:
 SYSTEM_LIST: The relative file path of the CSV file.
 4. Run the following command:
 python3 rollback_firmware.py
 The script returns the version that each sensor or console can be rolled back to.
 Note:If the script returns an error message that the SSL certificate verification failed, make sure that a trusted certificate has been added to your sensor or console. Alternatively, you can add the verify=False option to bypass certificate verification. However, this method is not secure and not recommended. The following code sends an HTTP GET request without certificate verification:
 requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)
 5. To start the rollback process, type y and press ENTER.

Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams and County Fleet Management Director Greg Nuzman unveiled the county's new CNG (compressed natural gas) fueling station just in time for the start of the winter inversion season in the Salt Lake Valley.
McAdams said that Fleet Management maintains large diesel trucks that until now have contributed significantly to both CO2 and NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions—two tailpipe sources of both winter and summer air pollution.
"Switching to cleaner natural gas as a fuel shows that Salt Lake County is doing whatever we can to help lower the number of bad air days in the valley," said McAdams. "Replacing diesel fuel with CNG is a significant step towards less air pollution and more cost-savings on fuel."
McAdams said that by switching diesel trucks over to CNG the county will displace 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel. According to county air quality officials, the fuel changeover will result in a reduction of 3.1 million pounds of carbon dioxide from the air. That decrease is equivalent to taking 310 passenger vehicles off the road each year.
County air quality officials also said NOx emissions will decrease – from between 20 – 40 percent. These chemicals contribute to both ozone – a component of summer smog—and particulate matter, which contributes to winter pollution.
McAdams notes that because CNG is less expensive than diesel, the county expects to save money on fuel costs as well.
The new CNG station was constructed by Clean Energy, a publicly-traded company that operates over 500 natural gas fueling stations in 43 states. Salt Lake County fleet director Greg Nuzman said that the new station marks the company's expansion into Utah and features a redundant compression system designed to fuel the 50 Wasatch
Front Waste and Recycling District trucks. The station will be able to fill the trucks overnight so no employee time is spent fueling and the trucks will be ready for work each morning. Nuzman said Clean Energy will support the station by opening a new parts warehouse in Salt Lake County as well as hiring a full-time station technician.


Matching Socks in Dark Room
Problem
Matching Socks in Dark Room, problem
Solution
Let $f(n)$ be the number of pairings of $n$ pairs of socks into acceptable pairs. For $n\le 2$ any pairing is acceptable. Furthermore, $f(1)=1,$ $f(2)=3.$
In general, let's start we a sock of the darkest shade. If we happen to pick a sock of the same shade, we are left with computing $f(n-1).$ Otherwise, there is a pair of socks of the next shade; we can choose any of the two and match the other one with the remaining sock of the darkest shade. This gives a recurrence:
$f(n)=f(n-1)+2f(n-2).$
The characteristic equation of the latter is $x^2-x-2=0,$ with roots $x=2$ and $x=-1.$ The general solution of the recurrence depends on two constants: $f(n)=c_12^n+c_2(-1)^n$ which are found from the initial conditions $f(1)=1,$ $f(2)=3.$ Thus we arrive at
$\displaystyle f(n)=\frac{2^{n+1}+(-1)^n}{3}.$
For $10$ pairs of socks, there are $\displaystyle f(10)=\frac{2048+1}{3}=683$ possible matchings.
To find the sought probability, we have to find the total number of pairings, absent any restrictions.
One sock can be matched with any of $19$ but when that picked, the next sock may match with any of the remaining $17,$ and so on. Thus the total number of pairings is
$19!!=19\cdot 17\cdot 15\cdot\ldots\cdot 5\cdot 3\cdot 1.$
The probability we seek equals $\displaystyle \frac{683}{19!!}\approx 10^{-6}.$
An aside
$f(n)$ could have been found via generating functions. Let's set
$\displaystyle\begin{align}F(x)&=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f(n)x^n\\ &=1+3x+\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}f(n-1)+2\sum_{n-3}f(n-2)x^n\\ &=1+3x+x\left(F(x)-x\right)+2x^2F(x), \end{align}$
from which
$\displaystyle\begin{align}F(x)&=\frac{x+2x^2}{1-x-2x^2}=\frac{x}{3}\left(\frac{4}{1-2x}-\frac{1}{1+x}\right)\\ &=\frac{x}{3}\left(4\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(2x)^n-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-x)^n\right)\\ &=\frac{x}{3}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\left(2^{n+2}-(-1)^n\right)x^n\\ &=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{2^{n+2}-(-1)^{n+2}}{3}x^{n+1}\\ &=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{2^{n+1}+(-1)^{n}}{3}x^{n}. \end{align}$
By definition, $f(n)=[x^n]F(x),$ the coefficient of the series by the term $x^n.$ Thus, as before,
$\displaystyle f(n)=\frac{2^{n+1}+(-1)^n}{3}.$

How To Make Your Climbing Gear Last Longer
How to make your climbing gear last longer Redpoint Climbing Australia Cofounder Jack Tho Trad Climbing at ArapilesClimbing shoes and rope are the most frequently used climbing gear that also endures the most wear and tear. Here are some tips on how to look after your climbing gear so that they may last longer.
Climbing Shoes
 1. Practice your footwork. The wear and tear on your climbing shoe rubber can tell you a lot about your climbing technique. If you see abrasions on the tip of your toe rubber, you may be dragging your foot along the wall and readjusting rather than placing your foot correctly the first time. Try improving the precision of your footwork by climbing slowly during warm up, consciously thinking about exactly where you want your foot to land before placing it on the hold. Practicing downclimbing can also help improve your footwork as you tend to weight your toes when leading with your feet.
 2. Opt for durable and stiff rubber. Most climbers will wear down their first pair of shoes quite quickly due to scuffles with the wall. Avoid buying any high end shoes with sticky and soft rubber (e.g. Vibram XS grip 2) because it will wear down and need replacing very fast. Instead, opt for stiffer and thicker rubber, minimum 4mm for the rubber sole. You can roughly gauge the stiffness of the rubber by pressing your nail against the bottom of the rubber shoe sole. Check out this article to find out how much you should be spending on climbing shoes.
 3. Air out your shoes after every climb. This means taking them out of your gym bag and leaving them near a door or window after you get home from climbing. Avoid direct sunlight as this may deform the rubber.
 4. Know when it's time to resole your climbing shoes. After every climb, check that the rubber soles under the toes still make an edge with the rand. If the edge where the rubber sole meets the rand is round and smooth, get your shoes resoled. Most climbers wait until the rand breaks through. Patching up the rand (or toe cap) typically costs 40-60% more than just the soles. Arapiles Resoles is one of the best, however they don't always accept jobs via mail. Big John Resoles in NSW accepts jobs via mail, including interstate.
Climbing Rope
 1. Keep your rope away from dirt and grime. Small debris such as dirt and sand can damage the sheath of the rope over time. A cheap alternative to a rope bag is the Ikea blue carry bags.
 2. Beware of UV and heat. Do not store your rope in the trunk of your car on hot summer days. Heat over 30 degree Celsius can break down the fibres.
 3. Clean your rope once a year, or when it looks dirty. The easiest way to do this is in a bathtub with warm water and some rope cleaner or hand soap. Avoid anything abrasive such as detergents and high-pressure hoses. Soak your rope in the soap water and run your hands along the length of the rope. You'll need to do this twice to rinse the soap out the second time. Allow the rope to air dry.
 Climbing ropes cost from $250 to $450 and climbing shoes cost from $120 to $260. It definitely pays to look after your climbing gear and make them last as long as possible.

The Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab
In the study of Chemistry, we encounter very large and very small numbers. For example, the size of a molecule or thin layer of molecules is very, very small and difficult to measure directly.
In order to "measure" such numbers, we often use one measured quantity and another known property to calculate the unknown value. In this experiment, we will use this approach to calculate the thickness of various types of aluminum foil, a quantity whose direct experimental determination is not possible with common laboratory equipment.
By measuring the mass of a piece of foil and by calculating its area, the thickness of the foil can be obtained from these quantities and the known density of aluminum, 2.70 g/cm3.
Show your work and express answers with the correct number of significant figures and proper units.
1. Find the volume of a block with the dimensions L = 9.16 cm, W = 3.65 cm, H = 1.01 cm.
2. If the density of a substance is 0.734 g/cm3 and the volume of the substance is 21.45 cm3, find its mass.
3. Determine the thickness of a rectangular piece of paper with an area of 45.3 cm2 and a volume of 7.7 X 10-3 cm3. (Hints: rewrite the formula for volume as length X width X thickness. Also, what is the formula for area?)
1. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of regular aluminum foil and 2 rectangular pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure that the dimensions are at least 10 cm on each side. Record the type (e.g. Reynolds Heavy Duty, Schnucks Regular) of each piece of aluminum foil in the data table below.
2. Using the ruler, carefully measure the length and width of each piece of foil. Record the measurements in your data table. Take care to record your measurements with the appropriate number of significant figures. Record the length and width of each piece of aluminum foil in the data table below.

Efforts to remedy existential anxiety and the sense of 'homelessness' permeating modern life invariably invoke ideas and practices swirling around dwelling and nostalgia. Geographies probing the materiality of loss and memory have elaborated and critiqued nostalgia in both regressive and progressive postures. We argue that amorphous and sensual qualities of nostalgia make it a propulsive force in dwelling. Moving beyond nostalgia as a representation of, or personal longing for, 'the past' or 'home', we engage historic practice as transpersonal, affective currents coursing through bodies, objects, and things. Nostalgia is an enchantment with distance that cannot be bridged. We explore nostalgic distance vis-a-vis practices in residential historic preservation in the Coronado district in Phoenix, Arizona. Practice, performance, and materiality of historic inhabitation illuminate nostalgic distance as an undertow in the making of historic sensibilities, subjectivities, and places. The elusiveness of nostalgia whispers enchantments, engendering attentiveness to what is near, to sensing closely. Nostalgic practice, performance, and materiality give rise to an everyday aesthetic of pastness, an embodied ethics of care rather than strict adherence to historic preservation codes and guidelines. We contribute to rethinking nostalgia and residential historic preservation as modes of sensing in which all bodies, objects, and things – human–nonhuman, animate–inanimate – have capacities to affect and to be affected.

text: The upcoming hypersonic technologies pose a difficult task for air navigation systems. The article presents a designed model of elastic interaction of penetrating acoustic radiation with flat isotropic suspension elements of an inertial navigation sensor in the operational conditions of hypersonic flight. It has been shown that the acoustic transparency effect in the form of a spatial-frequency resonance becomes possible with simultaneous manifestation of the wave coincidence condition in the acoustic field and equality of the natural oscillation frequency of a finite-size plate and a forced oscillation frequency of an infinite plate. The effect can lead to additional measurement errors of the navigation system. Using the model, the worst and best case suspension oscillation frequencies can be determined, which will help during the design of a navigation system.

Apple's iPhone Naming Scheme Could Lead to Confusion
With the introduction of the iPhone 4, Apple changed the naming scheme for its popular smartphone yet again, possibly leaving some eager consumers confused about what kind of device they'll actually be getting.
To be clear, iPhone 4 refers to the fourth-generation iPhone to be released since the first model in 2007. It does not refer to the fast "4G" data network.
Apple's first smartphone was known simply as the iPhone. It was followed in 2008 by the iPhone 3G, with "3G" referring to the phone's ability to work on 3G networks (the previous iPhone could only get online on slower, EDGE networks).
In 2009, Apple announced the iPhone 3GS, which was virtually identical to the iPhone 3G, with the main distinction being a faster processor (the "S" stood for speed). [Read "11 iPhone 4 Features You Need to Know About."]
Because of Apple's previous naming scheme, consumers unfamiliar with the iPhone might assume the 4 in the new iPhone's name refers to the faster 4G network currently available from a few carriers such as Sprint.
That's not the case: Like the 3G and 3GS models, the iPhone 4 can only get online using Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

A Bloody Mary is a popular cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, beef consommé or bouillon, horseradish, celery, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt.
Preparation and serving
A Bloody Mary, as well as the non-alcoholic Virgin Mary, is commonly served in the morning (as are mimosas and screwdrivers).
While there is not much complexity in mixing vodka and tomato juice, more elaborate versions of the drink have become trademarks of the bartenders who make them. A common garnish is a celery stalk when served in a tall glass, often over ice. A beer chaser may also be served with the Bloody Mary, although this varies from region to region.
Bloody Mary recipe courtesy of the New York School of Bartending:
- 1 oz. to 1 1/2 oz.vodka in a Highball glass filled with ice.
- Fill glass with tomato juice
- 1 dash celery salt
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 dash Tabasco
- 2-4 dashes of Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 tsp. horseradish (pure, never creamed)
- Dash of lemon or lime juice
Garnish with celery stalk.
May be shaken vigorously or stirred lazily, as desired. Garnish with a celery stalk; a skewer of olives, pickles, carrots, mushrooms, or other vegetables; or even meat or fish (salami, shrimp, etc.) and cheese (see photos). Occasionally, pickled asparagus spears or pickled beans are also used.
Prepackaged Bloody Mary mixes that combine the spicy, non-alcoholic components of a Bloody Mary are commercially available.

Life-Cycle Hypothesis (LCH)
Definition of 'Life-Cycle Hypothesis (LCH)'
The Life-Cycle Hypothesis (LCH) is an economic theory that pertains to the spending and saving habits of people over the course of a lifetime. The concept was developed by Franco Modigliani and his student Richard Brumberg. LCH presumes that individuals base consumption on a constant percentage of their anticipated life income. An example supporting the hypothesis is that people save for retirement while they are earning a regular income (rather than spending it all when it is earned).
Investopedia explains 'Life-Cycle Hypothesis (LCH)'
The Life Cycle Hypothesis concludes that the average propensity to consume is greater in both young and aging individuals, since they are borrowing against future income (in the case of young individuals) or using savings (as with aging or retired individuals). Middle-aged people, on the other hand, have a greater propensity to save and a lower propensity to consume, enhanced by a typically higher income.

Players rocking around Assassin's Creed Odyssey's fresh take on Ancient Greece are likely to stumble upon the pirate Xenia, a stout woman of firm resolve who will eventually ask for the hero's help in tracking down various artifacts. This is accomplished by following Xenia's treasure maps, the likes of which aren't exactly easy to follow, either because their locations are vague or because the maps seem to be pointing players in different directions toward unrelated rewards.
Xenia treasure hunt guide
First things first: before players can start tackling Xenia's five separate treasure hunts, they need to fulfill certain requirements. Neither Xenia nor her treasure hunts will be available until players complete the side quests Red in the Wreckage and Lost and Found. At that point, players can converse with Xenia to have her ask the hero to track down five (technically six) distinct treasures.
Additionally, it's recommended but not necessarily required for players to be around a mid-game level before starting Xenia's treasure hunts — maybe level 30 or so, though some of the tasks can be accomplished around level 17.
Birds of a Feather
For this treasure hunt, players will be given three different treasure maps and tasked with finding the Golden Feather of Ajax. Looking at the maps isn't strictly necessary for this mission; instead, head to Isle of Salamis, found just west of Attika. On the island will be a lighthouse — the Lighthouse of the Father of Ajax, as it turns out. Inspect the cloth-covered pot near the lighthouse, then walk down the stairs and speak to the lighthouse keeper to learn that the Golden Feather of Ajax was stolen by bandits.
He'll point players toward the bandits' hideout, the Mycanean Tomb of Ajax, located in an underground vault near the middle of the island. Bust in and crack the bandit's skulls, then search the bandit leader's corpse to find the Golden Feather of Ajax. With the feather in tow, return to Xenia to complete the quest.
Xenia will be pleased with the hero's aptitude for seeking out hidden treasure, and will offer a reward in the form of currency as well as another treasure hunt. This one is called Sacred Vows, and it involves discovering the location of a golden Macedonian Bracelet to be used as an offering to the gods.
In this case, it's the third map that Xenia offers that will be provide an accurate location for the treasure: in Cape Sounion, on the main island of Attika, in an area known as the Sanctuary of Sounion. Head to the location, speaking with various townsfolk, opening various boxes, and generally searching for clues to the bracelet's whereabouts.
After enough time spent investigating, players will stumble upon a couple arguing about the bracelet Xenia is seeking — they'll be the ones hanging out nearest the water's edge. Through conversation, it is revealed that the bracelet was thrown off a cliff into the Mediterranean sea. No problem; just dive in after it. The bracelet can be found not too deep underneath the water's surface, next to the cliff edge and a patch of coral. Grab it, then return to Xania to put an end to the second treasure hunt.
She Who Controls the Seas
Back in Xenia's company, the pirate will be so happy with the hero's performance that she'll offer up yet another treasure hunt. This one is called She Who Controls the Seas, and it involves tracking down Triton's Shell of the Tides, a golden conch that can reportedly control the sea.
The map needed for this hunt is the one that shows the Triple Peninsula of Chalkidike in Makedonia. Specifically, the player needs to head to an area known as the Underwater Cave of Chalkidike, which can accessed by diving into the water at the location featured on the map, just off the southern coast between the western and central peninsulas. A good way to find it is to search for the boxes floating at the water's surface.
Inside the Underwater Cavern, use Athena's sight to get a better view of the surroundings, then follow the path up and out of the water and back into another pool before surfacing on the other side. Some bandits will be lurking around this caves, so dispatch them through any preferred means, then search around the cave to locate the conch shell, which is sitting within a chest flanked by wooden barricades. Grab it, then head back to Xenia.
Throw The Dice
Once again, Xenia will express her own sort of gratitude for the hero's success, and will offer monetary recompense as well as the option to track down even more artifacts. This time around, Xenia will ask the player to find two items: Pan's Flute and Apollo's Lyre. There's a catch, though: a man named Autolykos stole the maps from her, and they must be found before the treasure can be located.
Xenia will point the player toward the man's typical hangout in Nauplia, specifically the are known as Wetlands of the Hydra. Head for the docks within the area's settlement to locate the man, then smash the nearby pots in order to convince him of the gravity of the situation. He'll divulge the location of the maps, hidden within his home right next to the Nauplia Shipshed. The path won't exactly be easy — Autolykos has the place well-guarded — but stealthy heroes should have no problem sneaking in and grabbing the maps out of the treasure chest near the main entrance.
With the maps in-hand, players will be in for an easy ride. The first map will plainly show that Pan's Flute can be found in the Cave of Pan, which is found around Marathon Beach in northern Attika. On the other hand, Apollo's Lyre can be found not too far from the Forgotten Ruins of Makris within Euboea — the lyre is sitting out in the open among several stone columns and a statue of a man being bitten by a snake. Grab both the treasures, then head back to Xenia to start the final treasure hunt.
Once again in the company of the fearsome pirate, Xenia will introduce the player to Galateia, who will tell a story of how she lost precious cargo after her crew was attacked on a previous mission. Agree to take on the quest to begin the search for Galateia's Priceless Treasure, the admittedly cheap-sounding Old Coffer.
Galateia informs the hero that her ship was attacked near Pellene, and eventually tasks players with finding the Olouros Fortress. The fortress itself is in Achaia, a location on the eastern end of the area known as Erymanthos Peaks, just south of Scavenger's Coast.
This area will not be easy — the level requirements for this mission indicate that players should be around level 43, so expect more than a few difficult encounters. Players under that level will need to make the best use of stealth possible. Within the fortress, not too far from a canvas-roofed entrance on the southeastern side, players will spot a small table next to a lit brazier; the Old Coffer can be found on the left side of the table near some ornate pots. Grab it, then return to Xenia to complete her quest line and earn the Pirate's Life For Me achievement.
Xenia's treasure maps are just the tip of the iceberg — Assassin's Creed Odyssey has plenty more hidden treasures spread about Ancient Greece.

-term student outcome metrics. Fifty percent of Hypothetical U. enrollments are underserved students; the team anticipates that they will see the most improvement in gateway course achievement with this group given the focus of their activities, and expects slight improvement for other students. Hypothetical U. reviewed results from other institutions evidencing significant course outcome improvements when faculty have and act on real-time information about students, and for underserved students when course content is relatable for students from diverse backgrounds. From others' experiences, Hypothetical U. is optimistic about its ability to influence significant gains in gateway completion, particularly for underserved students. Their near-term target statements follow.
- The gap in the gateway math course success rate (achieving a C or better) between underserved and other students will decrease from 10 to 5 percentage points in the spring 2021 semester, with no decline in achievement by other students (Figure 2).
- Of all students attempting, the percentage of students successfully completing gateway math (achieving a C or better) will increase from 30 to 36 percent in the spring 2021 semester.
Examining historical data, and the relationship between gateway math completion rates across student populations, Hypothetical U. estimated the improvement in retention rates and set their long-term targets using the estimation model below (see Figure 3). This relatively simple model makes a number of assumptions – steady enrollments and composition of students, similar retention patterns over time, and a very limited number of influences on students and the environment – but provides campus teams with an example for determining "how much" is possible.
- Compute the number of additional students who will complete gateway math if the Spring 2021 target is hit. So, 25% of 2,500 historically underserved students completed gateway math in the base year, or 625 students.
- At a target of 33%, this increases to 825 students, for an additional 200 historically underserved students completing gateway math.
- Assuming a retention rate for the target that is similar to the base year—or 60% for historically underserved students—compute the number of additional students that will be retained: 60% of 200, or 120 students.
- Add the 120 additional students to the base of 1,500 retained students, for a total 1,620 historically underserved students retained.
- Compute the target percent, or 1,620 of 2,500 historically underserved students retained, or 65%.
Looking forward to evaluating the near-term metrics every term, Hypothetical U. decided it was prudent to begin evaluating their long-term target after completing one academic year of their new activities to provide sufficient time for students to attempt their gateway math course, and for faculty to revise curriculum. This resulted in Hypothetical U.'s formal target statements for the retention long-term metric:
- The percentage of first-time students retained will increase from 64 to 67 percent for the 2021 entering cohort, as measured by retention to their second academic year.
- The retention equity gap for first-time students will decrease by three percentage points for the 2021 entering cohort, as measured by retention to their second academic year.

How to use Dynamic Groups to manage your contacts
April 21, 2016
We've already explained in this post how to use dynamic groups to create groups based on specific features such as age, gender, location, etc.
This post goes further into this feature and how it can help you organize your contacts based on features, engagement and/or missing information.
Organize contacts by feature(s)
Let's say we're interested in sending a poll to contacts between the age of 15 and 18 years. To do this you first need to find the contacts meeting that age requirement.
Go to the Contacts tab and enter the following query in the search bar:
age>=15 AND age<=18
It should look like this:
In this example, 2 contacts were found fitting the age requirement. We can save these contacts as a group by clicking on Save as Group button. We can now send a message or poll to this particular group.
It is also possible to search for contacts meeting multiple criteria. Let's assume we are interested in contacts who are female, are between 15 and 18 years old and who live in Kampala. In this case we enter the following query in the search bar:
gender=female AND (age>=15 and age<=18) AND district=Kampala
Here again we can decide to save the found contacts as a group.
Organize contacts based on "engagement"
You may remember this post where we showed how to keep track of contacts' participation in RapidPro. We added an "engagement counter" which measures how often contacts participate in flows. We can use this counter to group contacts based on their level of participation using dynamic groups.
Obviously, we first need to define engagement. We could for example decide that contacts who have participated in more than 10 polls will be considered "super" contacts. Now we can search for contacts whose counter is higher than 10 by simply entering this query in the search bar:
We may also want to take the "date of last participation" into account when measuring engagement. For instance, we consider a contact a "super" contact only if he/she participated in more than 10 polls AND has participated in a poll in the last month. To do this we could use this query:
last_participation_date>22-03-2016 AND engagement_counter>10
Using this query allows us too search for contacts that have participated after 22 March 2016 and whose engagement counter is bigger than 10. Note that the last participation date has been added as a contact field which keeps track of when a contact participates last in a poll. See this post for more info.
Identify contacts missing information for follow up
In an earlier post we said that there is no need for using temporary groups in registration flows to keep track of who hasn't responded to what question. Besides using the Split by Contact field feature we can now also search empty contact fields in Contacts. To do this we can use the query missing_field="" (as in quotation marks).
For example, if we look for contacts whose gender is unknown we can use this query:
All contacts that are missing gender information will be returned, which we can save as a dynamic group, for example "missing gender group".
Now we create a simple flow asking for just gender which could look like this:
This flow can be triggered by a campaign if you use the Registration Date as reference, or you can choose the option "Start a flow in the future or on a schedule" under Triggers.
In the case of campaign:
- Go to the Campaign tab and click Create Campaign
- You name the campaign and select the group to be involved and click Ok
- You click Add Event in the next page after which you'll see this screen:
- Here you choose the option "start flow", select which flow, in our case "ask for gender flow" and indicate when the flow should be triggered using the Registration Date as reference.
- You can add as many events as you want: 10 days after registration, 20 days after registration, etc.
In case you choose to use Triggers:
- Go to the Triggers tab and click on "Start a flow in the future or on a schedule":
- In the next screen you can select which flow to trigger, the contacts to receive the flow, the start date and time of the event and whether you want the trigger to be repeated (in our case every month):
Note that as soon as a contact provides his/her gender information he/she will be taken out of the missing gender group automatically (hence the name dynamic group). So there is no need to add an action in the flow to remove the contact from this group!
- Once a dynamic group is saved, any new contact that matches the applied query will be automatically placed in that group. This means that we don't need to run the query again as the groups are updated automatically.
- Space is not allowed in the contacts search bar. For example, the "last participation date" should be entered as last_participation_date. If we're not sure how the field is named we can check under Manage Contact Fields:
- When querying contacts you can use logical comparisons which evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. You may use the equals (=), not-equals (<>), greater-than (>), greater-than-or-equal (>=), less-than (<) and less-than-or-equal (<=) operators. When comparing text values, the equals (=) and not-equals (<>) operators are case-insensitive.
- Make sure that any contact field containing a number such as age and engagement counter are defined as Numeric and date fields as Date & Time. If the format is not set right, the queries may not work! In the screenshot above we see that the "last participation date" field is defined as "Date and Time". The "engagement counter" field on the other hand is defined as Numeric:
