Entity Types in Entity Framework
Entity Types in Entity Framework
In this article, I am going to discuss the Entity Types in Entity Framework in detail. Please read our previous article where we discussed Entities in Entity Framework with an example. At the end of this article, you will understand the Different Types of Entities in Entity Framework and their use with examples.
Types of Entities in Entity Framework:
In Entity Framework, there are two types of entities that allow developers to use their own custom data classes together with the data model without making any modifications to the data classes themselves. The two types of Entities are as follows:
 1. POCO entities
 2. Dynamic Proxy entities
POCO Entities
POCO stands for Plain Old CLR Objects which can be used as existing domain objects with your data model. The POCO data classes which are mapped to entities are defined in a data model. A POCO entity is a class that doesn't depend on any framework-specific base class. It is like any other normal .NET CLR class, which is why it is called "Plain Old CLR Objects". The POCO entities are supported in both EF 6 and EF Core.
These POCO entities support most of the same query, insert, update, and delete behaviors as entity types that are generated by the Entity Data Model. The following is an example of an Employee POCO entity.
public class Employee
{
 public int ID { get; set; }
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public string Email { get; set; }
 public string Gender { get; set; }
 public Nullable <int> Salary { get; set; }
 public Nullable <int> DepartmentId { get; set; }
 public virtual Department Department { get; set; }
}
Dynamic Proxy Entities
The Dynamic Proxy is a runtime proxy class which wraps POCO entity. Dynamic proxy entities allow lazy loading.
 1. A POCO entity should meet the following requirements to become a POCO proxy:
 2. The POCO class must be declared with public access.
 3. A POCO class must not be sealed.
 4. The POCO class must not be abstract.
 5. Each navigation property must be declared as public, virtual.
 6. All the collection property must be ICollection<T>.
 7. The ProxyCreationEnabled option must NOT be false (default is true) in context class.
Note: Dynamic proxy entities are only supported in EF 6. EF Core 2.0 does not support them yet.
The following POCO entity meets all of the above requirements to become a dynamic proxy entity at runtime.
public class Employee
{
 public int ID { get; set; }
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public string Email { get; set; }
 public string Gender { get; set; }
 public Nullable <int> Salary { get; set; }
 public Nullable <int> DepartmentId { get; set; }
 public virtual Department Department { get; set; }
}
Get the Entity Type from the Proxy Type:
We can find the original or actual entity type from this proxy type using the GetObjectType method of ObjectContext. This is a static method so there is no need to create an object of the object context.
namespace EFDemo
{
 class Program
 {
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 using (EF_Demo_DBEntities DBEntities = new EF_Demo_DBEntities())
 {
 var employee = DBEntities.Employees.Find(1);
 var employeeType = ObjectContext.GetObjectType(employee.GetType());
 Console.WriteLine("FullName of Employee Master Type :" + employeeType.FullName);
 Console.ReadKey();
 }
 }
 }
}
The GetObjectType returns an actual entity type even if we pass the instance of entity type (not the proxy type). In short, we can always use this method to get the actual entity type, there is no need to check whether the type is a proxy type or not.
Note: By default, the dynamic proxy is enabled for every entity. However, you can disable dynamic proxy in the context by setting this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false; as shown below
namespace EFDemo
{
 using System.Data.Entity;
 using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;
 public partial class EF_Demo_DBEntities : DbContext
 {
 public EF_Demo_DBEntities()
 : base("name=EF_Demo_DBEntities")
 {
 this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
 }

 protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
 throw new UnintentionalCodeFirstException();
 }

 public virtual DbSet<Department> Departments { get; set; }
 public virtual DbSet<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
 }
}

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Suppose I have a topic or discussion, and a number of "support" and "opposition" points on each side (You can also think of them as "upvotes" and "downvotes") and I want to calculate a score of how "controversial" a topic is. (Let $p$ be the support score, $c$ be the opposition score, and $f(p, c)$ be the function that determines the controversy score.)
It should have the following properties:
 - Controversy is maximized when equal support is given to both sides. Given that some property $g(p, c)$ is held constant (such that the slope of the tangent line of the level curve of $g(p, c)$ at any point is never positive), $f(p, c)$ should be maximized when $p = c$.
 - More support on both sides means that more people care and therefore there is more controversy. Given that $p/c$ is held constant, a higher value of $p$ or $c$ should result in a higher value of $f(p, c)$.
 - The amount of controversy is the same for the same imbalance of support no matter which side the imbalance favours. $f(p, c)$ should equal $f(c, p)$.
 - All the support being on one side means there is no controversy. Given that either $p$ or $c$ is equal to zero, $f(p, c)$ should be equal to zero.
Is there any function like this that is already in use? If not, could one be devised?

Basically I'm trying to simulate or find a better formula for Reddit's "controversial" section. That section doesn't even seem to work properly on most subreddits I visit. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 15:02
Selecting it on All made me realize that Controversial takes pretty much anything whose score is between 1 and -1 with more than 4 votes total. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 15:09
Here's a related question on Stack Overflow that asks the same thing. But I'm interested in it mathematically as well. – Joe Z. Mar 6 '13 at 2:39

$$f = \min$$
More generally, choose an even function $g:[-1,1]\to\mathbb R_{\ge0}$ such that $g(-1)=g(1)=0$, and an increasing function $h:\mathbb R_{\ge0}\to\mathbb R_{\ge0}$, and let $$f(p,c)=g\left(\frac{p-c}{p+c}\right)h\left(\frac{p+c}2\right).$$ Here $g$ controls the "cross-section" for a fixed number of votes, while $h$ controls the growth for a fixed $p/c$ ratio. For example, $f(p,c)=\min(p,c)$ arises from setting $g(x)=1-\lvert x\rvert$ and $h(y)=y$. _USER_'s solution $f(p,c)=pc/\lvert p-c\rvert$ corresponds to $g(x)=(1-x^2)/\lvert x\rvert$, $h(y)=y/2$. Another nice solution is $g(x)=\sqrt{1-x^2}, h(y)=y \implies f(p,c)=\sqrt{pc}$.

+1 and accept for the general formula class. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 15:49

What about $\frac{p c}{|p-c|}$?
This will grow (to infinity) for $c$ and $p$ being closer together and will also grow if $p/c=constant$ with increased $p c$. All support on one side will mean that $pc$ is low (or 0)
Maybe it is not perfect in its general behaviour, but the limiting behaviour seems to be right, so you can probably go from here.

I'm not sure 1 upvote vs. 1 downvote resulting in the same amount as 100 vs. 100 (both of which are "infinite") is a good idea. But thanks anyway. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 8:31
A little adjustment like $\frac{pc}{|p-c|+1}$ would avoid infinity. – Hagen von Eitzen Mar 2 '13 at 9:43

The formula I came up with myself was: $\displaystyle \frac{\min(p,c)^2}{\max(p, c)}$
I called it the "geometric progression" algorithm, because it represents the next term of the geometric progression lower than $\max(p,c)$ and $\min(p, c)$. In this way, as $p$ increases past $c$, $f(p, c)$ will get smaller, reaching its maximum of $c$ when $p = c$.
It also has the additional scaling property that the number of votes on $\max(p,c)$ varies inversely with $f(p, c)$.

I would argue that a simple and natural measure of controversy is simply the product of the support vote count $p$ and the opposed vote count $c$:
$$f(p,c) = pc$$
In particular, for a fixed total number of votes $p+c$, $f$ is maximized at $p = c$ (or at $p = c \pm 1$ if the total is odd), and it also satisfies your requirements 2–4. It also has the convenient property that $f(p,c)$ is a non-negative integer whenever $p$ and $c$ are.
One downside is that, for a fixed vote ratio $0 < p/c < \infty$, $f(p,c)$ grows proportionally to the square of the total number of votes $p+c$. If you'd prefer a linearly growing function instead, you can always take the square root to get the geometric mean of $p$ and $c$:
$$f^*(p,c) = \sqrt{pc}$$
As the square root is a strictly monotone increasing function, it does not affect the relative ranking of the results: $f(p,c) > f(p',c')$ if and only if $f^*(p,c) > f^*(p',c')$. However, by the AM–GM inequality, we can see that $f^*(p,c)$ can never exceed half of the total vote count $p+c$.

One problem with using $pc$ is that there are certain $g(p, c)$ for which the maximum value isn't at $p = c$. Originally I wanted to use $\displaystyle \frac{2pc}{p+c}$, but then I realized that if either $p$ or $c$ is constant, $f(p, c)$ actually grows when $p$ increases past $c$ or vice versa. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 14:55
_USER_: Indeed, your full criterion 1 as stated is quite hard to satisfy. In particular, considering the "worst-case" test function $g(p,c)=\min(p,c)$ shows that no function $f(p,c)$ that satisfies both criteria 1 and 2 can be differentiable at points where $p=c$. – Ilmari Karonen Mar 2 '13 at 15:03
I had a hunch that was the case. The function I've come up with now is not differentiable on $p = c$ either. – Joe Z. Mar 2 '13 at 15:04

Zinc deficiency on walnut
A case of severe zinc deficiency on a walnut orchard in the area of Kavala in N. Greece. The deficiency already caused necrosis and fall of a large percentage of the foliage which is expected to induce quantitative and qualitative loss in walnut production.
Usually zinc deficiency appears in acidic and zinc-poor soils, in light soils which are poor in organic matter, in calcareous soils which cause drop of zinc solubility in the soil solution and in cases where phosphorus fertilizers were used in excess.

EIA for three proposed 10 MW photovoltaic (solar) energy facilities at Mariental, Omaruru and Okahandja, Namibia
EIA FOR THREE 10MW PHOTOVOLTAIC
(SOLAR) ENERGY FACILITIES
PROPOSED FOR MARIENTAL, OMARURU
BACKROUND INFORMATION DOCUMENT
PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENTThe purpose of this Background Information Document (BID) is to provide stakeholders with a background to three proposed solar energy facilities and to invite Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) to register in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. By registering as an I&AP, stakeholders can submit comments on the proposed solar energy facilities and be kept informed throughout the EIA. This BID includes the following
Introduction How does the EIA Process work?
What is Public Participation and how do you get involved?
What is proposed and where?
Why are solar energy facilities needed and what benefits are anticipated?
How does a typical solar energy facility work?
What alternatives are being considered?
Potential environmental impacts associated with the project Way forward Introduction Namibia Power Corporation (Pty) Ltd (NamPower) propose to off-take power from an Independent Power Producer (IPP) or Producers (IPP's). The power will be generated from three individual 10 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy facilities at three separate locations in Namibia namely; Mariental, Omaruru and Okahandja (Figure 3).
In terms of the Namibian environmental legislation (Environmental Management Act (No. 7 of 2007)), an EIA is required to obtain an Environmental Clearance Certificate from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) before the project can proceed. As a preferred IPP or IPP's has not yet been selected, NamPower has appointed Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Aurecon) to undertake the EIA study to investigate the biophysical and socio- economic environmental issues. The findings will help inform MET's decision-making and to inform the design and operation of the three proposed PV solar energy facilities.
HOW DOES THE EIA PROCESS WORK?An EIA is a process that evaluates the biophysical and socio-economic characteristics of proposed projects and the consequences of the project on the environment and the people that live in the area affected by the project activities.
Where negative impacts are likely to result from the project, measures can be recommended to avoid or lessen these impacts to a level where the impacts are considered acceptable from a biophysical and social perspective. Where positive impacts are likely to result from the project, measures can be recommended to increase these impacts. The EIA process also provides I&APs with opportunities to comment on the project and to be kept informed about decisions that may impact on them or the environment. The various stages of the consultation within the EIA process are shownin Figure 2.
Figure 1 | Locality Map indicating the project locations The EIA process would typically consist of a scoping phase and an EIA phase. However, MET's decision can be informed by the scoping report if sufficient information is provided at this stage. Due to the impacts of solar energy facilities being well understood, the scoping report will include specialist assessments of the proposed project, assessments of all anticipated impacts and mitigation measures to address the anticipated impacts which should be sufficient for decision making by MET.It is therefore anticipated that the project would not need to proceed to the EIA phase.
Okahandja) and on the Aurecon website (_URL_) and the NamPower website (_URL_) Registered I&APs will also be informed of the availability of the Draft Scoping Report for a 14 day comment period, during which period the public will have the opportunity to review the draft document and raise any issues or concerns Advertising the decision received from MET and affording an opportunity to I&APs to appeal the decision.
WHAT IS PROPOSED AND WHERE?
NamPower identified three existing substations into which each of the proposed solar energy facilities could feed, based on the grid capacity, network of existing transmission lines, the national map of solar radiation indicating the average sunshine hours per day and location of the largest source of demand. The three substations identified were the Hardap substation near Mariental, Omburu substation near Omaruru and Osona substation near Okahandja.
Three alternative sites, were identified at each substation and assessed by specialists. Each alternative site is approximately 100 hectare (ha) in extent and within a 5km radius from the substation. All sites are located on farming land, which are currently used for stock grazing, transmission line corridors and are uninhabited. A site selection process was undertaken to select the preferred three sites (one alternative site per substation location). The site selection process will be detailed in the Scoping Report. It should be noted that Osona site 1 was decreased in size as a small hill, considered to be sensitive in a number of aspects, was distorting the findings for the site and hence was excluded from the original 100 ha site for the site selection process. The following sites were selected as the
preferred sites (see Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5):
Hardap site 1 on Farm Koichas 89 close to Mariental, Hardap Region (referred to as Hardap site);
Omburu site 3 located on Omaruru Townlands Portion B, 2215 close to Omaruru, Erongo Region (referred to as Omaruru site); and Osona site 1 located on Portion C of Farm Gross Barmen 7 near Okahandja, Otjozondjupa Region (referred to as Osona site).
An area of 35ha is generally required to construct a 10MW PV solar energy facility. Areas with a footprint of 35ha were therefore identified within the 100ha sites, informed by sensitive features on site, which were excluded from the development area.
Each of the proposed 10MW solar energy facilities would consist of the following:
Photovoltaic component: numerous rows of PV panels and associated support infrastructure to generate electricity.
Transmission corridor: one overhead 66kV transmission line located within the transmission corridor to connect the proposed onsite substation to the existing main substation.
On-site substation: the on-site substation to collect the electricity produced on site and step it up to the correct voltage to transfer via the transmission line to the existing main central substation.
Access road corridor: a 100m corridor to accommodate the access road for constructing, servicing and maintaining the facility.
Buildings: operation and maintenance buildings to house equipment and a guard cabin for security.
Additional infrastructure: includes a boundary fence for health, safety and security reasons; water supply infrastructure for groundwater abstraction and storm water infrastructure, if required.
WHY ARE SOLAR ENERGY FACILITIES NEEDED AND WHAT BENEFITS AREANTICIPATED?
Namibia has a high reliance on power imports (on average 60%, but up to 80 % during dry seasons). A number of Namibia's energy import agreements are about to end and if not renewed, Namibia is likely to face a capacity deficit in its electricity generation from 2015.
This is based on current growth forecasts of its electricity demands (peak demand of 534MW with a 4% per annum growth)1. In order to address the potential capacity deficit, and to take advantage of the good solar resource in Namibia, NamPower is proposing to purchase electricity from solar energy facilities.
Renewable energy is recognised internationally as a major contributor in diminishing the negative effects of climate change, as well as providing a wide range of biophysical environmental, economic and social benefits that can contribute towards long-term global sustainability. These impacts include, amongst others, reduction of greenhouses gases emitted per unit of electricity, reduced reliance on fossil fuelled power stations, employment benefits and associated social upliftments, improvement in electricity security and diversity, and expenditure in local economy.
The proposed solar energy facilities are therefore expected to contribute positively towards climate change mitigation. The establishment of the proposed solar energy facilities would also help to meet the current national electricity demand, which far exceeds supply. Furthermore, the proposed projects would assist Namibia in meeting its international obligations by aligning domestic policy with internationally agreed strategies and standards as set by the Kyoto Protocol and United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, to which Namibia is a signatory.
HOW DOES A TYPICAL PV SOLAR ENERGY FACILITY WORK?
Solar panels capture light energy from the sun to generate electricity through a process known as the PV effect, where light energy energise the electrons to produce electricity (see Figure 62). There are various types of solar panels, but for the proposed PV solar energy facilities Conventional PV solar cells are proposed.
WHAT ALTERNATIVES ARE BEING CONSIDERED?
The best suitable site at each location (Mariental, Omaruru and Okahandja) was selected through the Multi-criteria Decision-Making process. This is therefore forms the assessment of alternatives and only the preferred site location alternative will be assessed in detail against the "no-go" option in the assessment phase. Mounting alternatives and access road alternatives will however be considered in the EIA process. For all three sites, two mounting alternatives
to fasten the panel to the frame will be considered, namely:
a) Single-Axis Tracking PV: The panels are fixed on a a b single axis that follows the seasonal sun to ensure maximum exposure to sunlight as indicated in in Figure 7a.
b) Fixed Tilt PV: This is typically a rack mounted system of panel arrays on frames and installed at a fixed angle (see Figure 7b). These arrays would be uniformly aligned to facilitate efficient sun energy capture. Figure 7 | Mounting Alternatives

When the soil contains iron, it migrates with water to the drain and forms, in contact with the air, an iron hydroxide sludge.
When ferrobacteria is present in the water table, it produces, following the oxidation of iron in contact with air, a gelatinous mass. The result of both is the formation of a viscous deposit on the walls of grooved drains and it is this deposit that is called "ferrous ocher".
The first symptoms caused by iron ocher
The phenomenon of iron ocher is pernicious because it can cause significant damage even before the owner realizes it. Vigilance is also required if there are precursory signs such as:
An abnormally high humidity level in the basement Reddish deposits on the concrete slab of the basements. Deposits of ocher-colored mud in the catch basin
Possible remediation of existing buildings to mitigate iron ocher symptoms varies by location, but may require:
The modification of the slope of the ground Sealing at the junction of concrete wall and concrete slab Installation of cleaning chimneys Drainage under the slab The installation of a waterproof coating The installation of a waterproofing membrane The raising of the slab of the basement Condemnation of the basement

 4. DropBox Conflicted Files
Dropbox doesn't contain any functionality that enables it to merge various copies into a single file. You will have to either go through all the instances of a single file by yourself or use a third-party software, if you can find one. Going by the manual way can particularly be very tiring as well a time consuming, but this is probably the only way you can be assured of not unintentionally erasing any critical change that was made to the parent file and saved in one of the copies.
Understanding the problem
Conflicted copies arise most commonly because two people have attempted to edit a file at the same time from different locations. Each person has a copy open on their end, they're constantly making changes, and then all of them try to save those changes, resulting in a complete mess like situation. This is one situation which Dropbox simply isn't equipped to resolve. Instead of making an assumption and deleting one version, or attempting to merge multiple versions on its own, Dropbox creates conflicting copies to preserve the work done across different locations.
Solution 1: Removing the conflicted files
If you simply wish to cleanly delete the conflicted variants of your document and continue with the existing primary document, that is as easy as it can be! All you've got to do is make sure you don't have any conflicting versions still networked in from any other location(s) and then go ahead and delete the conflicting versions from Dropbox. The problem stands resolved in an instance.
How to identify conflicted copies
Edit the files as usual, and then check for any conflicted files in the Dropbox folder. If there are any conflicting files indeed, they will appear as the following screenshot. Remove one of them to solve the conflicted file problem.
Conflicted copies detected
Solution 2: Use Read-only lock for Windows users
Windows users can use the Read-only attribute from the properties area of the files that are more likely to be conflicted. But this may be not an ideal solution when the user is dealing across multiple kinds of platforms.
 1. Right-click on the appropriate file, and select Properties.
 2. Select Read-only from the attribute list.
Solution 3: Use a folder named "Your Name –in USE"
Files are more likely to be conflicted when all the parties working on them, aren't aware of changes being continuously made to them. For this reason, use a separate folder and name it as In USE to signal to all the parties that files in this folder are being edited from edited from multiple locations simultaneously.
How to merge Dropbox files that have become conflicted
Now, if you want to preserve both sets of changes, that's going to be a little more tricky. Dropbox doesn't have any built-in solutions for such a situation, so you're going to need to work it out with third party tools or a manual solution. This can be a major pain or very easy, depending on what sort of file you're looking at, how familiar you are with iteration software for that file type, and how many differences exist between the versions.
In a worst-case scenario, you'll need to manually adjust one version to contain all of the appropriate content from the variants, then follow the previous set of instructions to delete the redundant versions. This can be very time consuming, but it well might be your only option if you want to preserve everything from two or more conflicted files.
Avoiding future conflicted copies
Once you've resolved the issue one way or the other, you can take further steps to avoid this in the future. Whether the issue arose because two or more people worked on the document at the same time or because you had it open on multiple systems, there are three ways to prevent it from arising in the future.
 - Improve communication between collaborators
 - Move documents that are being modified to a different subfolder, so only the most relevant people can access and edit them
 - Move documents from Dropbox to a local folder while they're being worked on, so nothing can possibly interfere
And there you have it—simple solutions to a common difficulty with Dropbox (and many similar backup and file sharing solutions). If mistakes are made again, and conflicted copies pop up, you'll know exactly what to do next time.

Jewell water filter
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Cross section of 12 foot gravitational subsidence filter designed by Jewell
A Jewell water filter was a system of slow sand filters for filtering and treating water for drinking purposes that made use of gravity to allow water to percolate through a column of sand inside cylindrical cisterns that was widely used in the early twentieth century. They are named after Omar Hestrian Jewell (1 July 1842 - 19 June 1931) and his sons who established Jewell Pure Water Company in Chicago in 1890. Jewell water filters were used in many city water supply systems across the world and modified versions continue to be in use.

History[edit | edit source]
Slow sand filters were introduced at a point when the nature of disease causing organisms in typhoid and cholera had been established. Omar Jewell was a mechanical engineer who designed farm equipment and he took an interest in solving some of the problems involved in the filtration of water and established the O.H.Jewell Filter Company and was financed by Chicago based waterwork dealers. His son William H. Jewell graduated in 1887 from the College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois and served as a chemist in the company.[1]

The first Jewell filters were built for use at Rock Island, Illinois in 1891. Jewell filters evolved over time to substitute open sand bed filters which had problems in the United States: freezing in winter and algal growth in summer introducing an odour to the water. Over time Omar and his sons owned several patents in water filtration, nearly 50 patents between 1888 and 1900, including novel systems for combining filtering and chlorination.[1][2] The Jewell's received and by 1896 nearly 21 plants in the United States of America used Jewell filters. In 1898 the O.H.Jewell Filter Company settled a patent infringement claim over a coagulation process patented by Isaiah Smith Hyatt, brother of John Wesley Hyatt, in 1884 and owned by the New York Filter Manufacturing Company. Other filter companies came up during the period and there were numerous patent litigations and company mergers with Jewell merging with the New York Filter Manufacturing Company in 1900[3] to become the single major New York Continental Jewell Filtration Company. The resulting company owned the licenses to most of the valuable patents of the day and by 1909 they had nearly 360 plants in operation.[4] Several were built in far away places like India with the largest being in Kolar at Bethamangala with a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons per day.[5] The one in Warsaw was the largest in Europe in its time.[1]
Jewell catalog (1897)
An outbreak of typhoid during the 1890s in the city of Pittsburgh led to calls for improved sanitation and improvements in the quality of drinking water supply. Pittsburgh Filtration Commission was established in June 1896 and it recommended in 1899 a slow-sand filtration system. Once this became operational, the cases of typhoid were greatly reduced.[6] The Filtration commission wrote to several companies but only two agreed to enter the tests. These were the Cumberland manufacturing company and the Morison-Jewell Filtration Company and the committee experimented with a Warren filter and a Jewell filter.[7][8][9] Jewell filters underwent further bacteriological tests in Alexandria and Berlin and their approval led to their wider adoption in numerous town water supplies in the early 1900s.[5] The British troops at Alexandria brought down typhoid deaths to zero by 1905 with water treatments that included the use of Jewell filters.[10]

Construction and working[edit | edit source]
Jewell filters, unlike their predecessors, open sand filters, were housed indoors and included mechanical action to turn and wash the sand with their their key advantages being their ability to work in winter and reduce bacterial counts. The water from a river or lake is first passed through sedimentation beds where a coagulant such as alum is added. The water then goes into the sand bed within cylinders of the Jewell filters and the coagulant forms a film on top of it. The sand beds are cleaned by stirring them with rotary arms and washing with water pumped at pressure from below. The Warren filter also had a similar system for washing sand. The design to carry away the wash effluent however differed between the Warren and Jewell filters.[9] The company later produced variations that used water under pressure than to merely rely on gravity.[11]

FreeBASIC Grammar Part I
Postby AGS » Dec 26, 2008 19:05
The FreeBASIC grammar is spread out across many pages of the manual.
So I thought it would be nice to get the grammar on one page.
And to get the grammar I took the FreeBASIC sources and extracted the lines containing FreeBASIC grammar rules.
This grammer has been written in a format somewhat similar to ebnf.
Keywords have been written in UPPERCASE.
Non - terminals have been written using CamelCase.
This grammar is very much a work in progress (not finished yet/contains errors).

How To Win Converts
British Go Journal No. 10. December 1969. Page 4.
Francis Roads
One of the objects of the British Go Association is to spread the knowledge of the game to as many people as possible. Anyone who has tried, as I have, to start a local Go club knows that the best way of getting new members is by personal contact. I have been lucky in having had the opportunity of teaching the game of Go to scores and possibly hundreds of beginners, and I thought it might be useful to pass on some of my experience in winning converts to the game.
It is well known that groups such as science students, computer programmers, schoolmasters and chess-players often provide potential converts, but one can find interest in the game in surprising places - Young Conservatives, Scout groups and even the Townswomens Guild have been known to show interest - and therefore whenever I find myself in the company of new acquaintances, whoever they are, I always try to mention my interest in Go as soon as the conversation allows it. Usually someone will show interest, even if only of the polite variety, and the next step is to manoeuvre that person into asking me how the game is played. The battle is then half-won.
Two points always need to be made clear before even setting out the board and stones: first, that you are not about to explain either Messrs. Waddingtons trivial game or Go-Bang (properly Go-Moku); and second, that, although Go can be a very intellectual game, the basic rules are quick to learn, and that the game can be enjoyed at a very elementary level.
For the purpose of teaching beginners I have made some small quarter-boards (10 x 10) ruled on cardboard. Coloured counters, which cost about 5/- [25p] a gross, serve as stones - red and green or blue and yellow replacing black and white. These sets are very cheap, easily portable when you want to play a number of beginners at once, and also show the beginner how easily he can make his own board.
The generate maximum interest in the game it is usually best to get the beginner actually playing the game as soon as possible, and to cut the introductory explanation down to a minimum; I usually explain first the following six points in order.
 1. How moves are made.
 2. How stones connect to form armies (emphasising that diagonally adjacent stones are not connected.
 3. The object of the game, showing how armies can surround territory with or without the help of the edge of the board.
 4. The definition of liberties, and how stones and armies are captured (mentioning the need for internal surrounding).
 5. How the game ends, from the theoretical paint of view (i.e. when both players pass in succession).
 6. The two prohibitive rules of Go, i.e. the no-suicide rule and the rule of ko. Only the bare mechanics of these rules need be explained.
The above is enough to enable the beginner to play his first game of Go. Note that it is not necessary to explain about the safety of two-eyed armies ; this after all, is an elementary tactical principle and not a rule. And of course such relative niceties as ko-fights, seki, snap-back, etc. can easily be left out until later - they are not likely to occur in a players first couple of games.
Even with a four-stone handicap on a quarter-board, the beginner almost always ends his first few games by losing all his stones. There is no point in discouraging him by pointing out all his bad moves - better by far to point out a few good ones, even If he doesnt see why they are good. If he has lost a lot of stones in his first games, he will be in a receptive frame of mind for hearing about an infallible way of making his armies invulnerable. This is also a good time to point out the futility of playing stones inside territory securely held by the opponent, explaining exactly why it gains nothing.
By now you will have formed an opinion of your pupils aptitude for the game, and you will be able to judge whether to introduce further elementary points such as connection and disconnection or the use of the third and fourth lines from the edge, or whether to allow him to practise and assimilate what he has learnt so far. At whatever speed he learns the game, it is necessary to give plenty of practice at all stages by playing games that for you will inevitably be rather boring (though even against beginners there are opportunities for practicing and improving ones technique). You always need to try to find as much to praise as to blame in his play, and to remember that what seems blatantly obvious to the experienced player is not so to the beginner.
One should never leave a new convert without extracting a promise to play the game again, preferably with oneself or with a local Go club, nor without giving him the address of the Association and reminding him to send a stamped addressed envelope when writing for details. Its always a good idea to show a few copies of the Go Review and the British Go Journal - he wont understand much of it, of course, but it will help to show him how seriously the game is taken, If possible, beginners should always be left with some literature to read for themselves. The Associations introductory leaflet is very useful for this purpose.
As I remarked at the beginning, personal contact is better than any means of advertising as a way of converting new Go-players. Teaching beginners is not as exciting as playing someone your own strength, but if every Go-player would make it his business to introduce at least some new players to the game each year, it would do more than anything else to ensure the continued growth and success of our Association.

SOUTH AFRICA – South Africa's cane growers have appealed to the government to implement measures to mitigate the impact of load-shedding which if not checked will see the industry lose R723 million (US$41.9M) this year.
However, the estimate's scenario modeling applies to load-shedding at stages 4-6 which if escalated to stages 6-8, the industry could lose more than R1.8bn (US$104.3M) while anything beyond stage 8 could cost the industry more than R2.4bn (US$139 million) according to Andrew Russell, SA Canegrowers chair.
The organization said that with milling giant Tongaat Hulett in business rescue, and the destructive Health Promotion Levy already hampering the industry, these losses are potentially catastrophic for growers and the industry's workers
They are therefore pleading with Eskom and the government to urgently put short-term measures in place to mitigate the effects of rolling blackouts on the industry.
The impacts of load shedding have been estimated to affect 1,135 irrigated growers who employ more than 10,000 workers.
South African sugar industry largely relies on irrigation for production. An estimated 34% of SA's sugar cane is produced in irrigated areas including Komatipoort and Malelane in Mpumalanga, and Pongola in KwaZulu-Natal.
Therefore, if the situation continues, the growers will further part with more than R189m (US$11 million ) in additional energy costs on account of the disruption to irrigation schedules.
The losses are incurred since growers operate on a Ruraflex system, which allows them to pay a lower tariff for operating during low-demand times.
However, this power disruption has forced them to irrigate whenever electricity is available regardless of demand coupled with yield losses as they had fewer hours of continuous energy supply.
"Growers need a minimum of six hours of continuous energy for proper irrigation. As a result of the intermittency of the power supply disrupting irrigation, irrigated growers will lose up to 40% water capacity."
However, the association has made recommendations to the government for short-term measures that can rescue the sector as the industry works to save the 1-million livelihoods it supports.
Among the suggestions are restricting load-shedding to stage 4 in irrigated cane growing areas during peak watering season, diesel rebates for growers using generators, and tax rebates for those investing in alternative energy sources.

An E190-E2 is now flying with simulated ice shapes affixed to several parts of the fuselage that measure the aircraft's ability to perform in icing conditions. It's all part of the E2s certification process.
To comply with certification requirements, Embraer uses simulated ice shapes made from composite materials. Those materials are installed on the radome, leading edges of the wings and empennages, and the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. The shapes, determined by wind tunnel tests, numerical calculations and data from natural icing conditions, vary in size depending on their location so that they can more accurately simulate actual ice accretion on each area.
During the test campaign, the E2's control and maneuverability is monitored during different phases of flight – take off, climb, cruise, descent, holding, landing – and in the case of a failure of the anti-ice system. The aircraft's envelope protection functionalities are also tested to ensure satisfactory performance during icing conditions.

Constantine the African (Latin: Constantinus Africanus) (1017, Kairouan – 1087, Monte Cassino) was a Tunisian doctor of the eleventh century. The first part of his life was spent in Tunisia and the rest in Italy. In Salerno, Italy, he became a professor of medicine and his work attracted widespread attention. A few years later Constantine became a Benedictine monk, living the last two decades of his life in the Monte Cassino monastery.
It was in Italy where Constantine compiled his vast opus, mostly composed of translations from Arabic sources. He translated into Latin books of the great masters of Arabic medicine: Razes Ali Ibn Massaouia Baghdad, Ibn Imran, Ibn Suleiman, and Ibn Al-Jazzar. These translations are housed today in libraries in Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, and England. They were used as textbooks from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century.
The historians of Constantine
The twelfth century monk Peter the Deacon is the first historian to have written the biography of Constantine. He noted that Constantine was a 'Saracen', the medieval Franco-Italian term meaning a Muslim from North Africa. Later historians such as De Renzi and Daremberg, curator of the National Library in Paris, and Leclerc, author of History of Arab Medicine, relied on Diaconus' account. The German Steinscheider wrote a book dedicated to Constantine, which was printed in Berlin in 1865. The Orientalist Karl Sudhoff made his Berber-Islamic thesis when he discovered new and important documents touching on Constantine's life and religion in the northern Italy; these documents were published in the journal Arkioun in 1922.
Constantine emigration to Italy
Karl Sudhoff, said, according to documents cited above, he emigrated first to Italy as a merchant from Sicily, and was called in those documents Constantine Siculus. He moved to Salerno as a merchant (mercator). Suffering from an illness and took refuge with the king's brother Gusulf. A doctor named "Abbas of Curiat" was the interpreter between the two men, as Constantine ignored the Italian. Constantine noted that Abbas did not ask for the bottle of urine and the doctor who had come to examine it was inexperienced. He concludes that medicine in Italy was limited to a few simple practical knowledge, which led Constantine to ask whether there was in Italy for good books in medicine, he said no. This man, who had an extensive general knowledge, felt he had a civilizing mission that he wanted to accomplish.
He returned to Carthage. He practiced medicine for three years and collected many books of medicine and went to southern Italy carrying with him this treasure. He walked towards Salerno,passing through the coast of Lucania by boat. It is north of the Gulf of Polycastro, a storm arose at sea damaging some manuscripts. The first three parts of the books of Ali Ibn Abbas Al Majoussi were lost. Our man arrived at Salerno with what remained of the books, he converted to Christianity, then moved to Cassino, where he worked as an interpreter. The Sudhof story ends with this event.
These are the parts borrowed and translated word for word from the study of Karl Sudhoff. Sudhoff is a scientist who has a thorough knowledge of history, renowned for its reliability in research. The interpreter between Constantine and the Italian doctor on his first trip, was also a Tunisian doctor. He was called Abbas of Curiat? Curiat is an island lying off the town of Mahdia, Tunisia. May be Abbas was with there with him from Sicily? Constantine was a trader and cultivated, there is nothing surprising, because education in the great mosque of the Zaytuna in Tunis and the scientists houses was open to all. He understood the traditional and the rational knowledge. The trade between Tunisia and Italy were flourishing, and that did not cease during difficult times. Tunisia had offices in various locations of Christian Sicily and southern Italy itself. These include Bari, Taranto, Agripolis and Gaglione.
Tunisia exported olive oil, wax, leather, wool and derivatives, and imported wheat in famine years. Market forces did not prohibit trade with countries of Christians and Constantine was converted to Christianity there is nothing surprising in that the thing was common, particularly if the person was forced, which was the case for prisoners. These include the case of Moroccan Hassan El Ouazzan traveler who converted to Christianity and called himself Leo Africanus, a situation similar to that of Constantine the African.
Constantine scientific production
He arrived at Cassino, bringing with him the manuscripts of medicine that he took from Tunis. They include works of the Kairouanese El Baghdadi.
- The Kairouanese books
- The book of melancholy of Ishaq Ibn Imran.
- The book of the pulse, urine and food regime of Ibn Ishaq Suleiman.
- The book "Zad Al Mussāfir" (Viaticum) of Ahmed Ibn Al Jazzar.
- The Baghdadi books
- The book "Al Hawi" of Abu Bakr Al Razi
- The book "Al Kamil " of Ali Ibn Al Abbas Al Majoussi, at least in part. Constantine translated the first ten books (on the theory of medicine) but his translation of the second ten books (on practice) do not entirely survive. (The same book was retranslated in the twelfth century by Stephen of Antioch, who was dismissive of Constantine's translation.)
The books of Constantine are either by him or translated from Arabic. In many cases he fails to name his Arabic sources. It is so for the "Zad Al Mussāfir" of Ibn Al-Jazzar, that he translated and to which he attached his name, with what some observers have labeled as impertinence. He writes in the introduction of Zad Al Mussāfir the following: "If people are planning to dig into this book that comes from me, I let them sleep in their stupidity. I thought it is my duty to sign it because people envy other people for their work and to seize any book who falls into their hands, I titled Zad Al Mussāfir viaticum as his small volume will not clutter the baggage of the passenger nor hinders his movements. "
Editions of Constantine's Works
Constantine's works are most readily available in two sixteenth-century printed editions, the 1515 Lyons edition and the 1536 Basel edition. (Both editions are readily available online.) The Basel edition is missing some of Constantine's prefatory material, but Mark Jordan notes that, while both Basel and Lyons editions are problematic, and have undergone some humanistic retouching, the Basel edition may be more reliable. Modern scholars of the history of medicine, however, have tended to refer to the Lyons edition.
The Isagoge of Johannitius, which Constantine may have translated (the attribution is contested), has been edited by Gregor Maurach in Sudhoffs Archiv 62 (1978). This edition was never meant to be definitive, and it has received some criticism and corrections, most notably by Ursula Weisser.
The legend of Constantine
In his introduction of the complete works of Ambroise Pare, here what Doctor Malgaine writes: "Constantine was born in Carthage and taken with an ardent desire to learn all sciences he went to Babylonia, learned grammar, logic, physics (medicine), geometry, arithmetic, mathematics, astronomy, necromancy, and music. After exhausting all sciences of the Chaldeans, Arabs and Persians he went to India, asked the scientists of this country, returned from Egypt where he completed his long study and after four decades of travel and work, he returned in his hometown. But the rarity and breadth of his knowledge scared his countrymen, they took him for a sorcerer and banished him. Constantine informed in time, fled and went to Salerno where he remained for some time hidden under the garb of a beggar. The brother of the king of Babylon who passes through this city, recognized him and presented him to the famous Robert Guiscard, who made him his first secretary. But more than eager to rest than with honors he left the court and retired to Monte Cassino where he spent the rest of his life translating from Arabic into Latin various medical books."

- Confusingly, the title of 1515 Lyons edition (Omnia opera Ysaac) actually refers to Isaac Isra'ili, not Constantine. Renaissance scholars thought of Constantine as a plagiarist because of his tendency to omit the names of the authors of works he translated from Arabic.

OBJECTIVE: This paper explores the impact of contextual variables at the neighborhood level on a health marker in the city of Hermosillo, Mexico and discusses the importance of collaboration between planners and health professional to minimize the negative effect of contextual factors on urban health. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Few studies in Mexico have assessed health outcomes at the intra-urban scale and their interaction with neighborhood-level contextual variables. Using spatial analysis and geographical information systems, the paper explores the association between infant mortality and an index of socio-environmental vulnerability used to measure urban contextual factors. RESULTS: Two high infant mortality clusters were detected within neighborhoods characterized by relatively good environmental conditions and one in a neighborhood with a poor environment. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show the clustering of high infant mortality areas and some association with built environment factors in Hermosillo. The results support the need to reconnect public health and urban planning as a way to create healthier environments in Mexican cities.

_page} of ${total_pages} markers in the .html output. The value must be a positive real number.

If the value is "0" or empty, the content will be output without pagination. That is, "Page: 1 of 1" will appear at the top of the output and no other markers will follow it.

If the value you enter is greater than 0 but less than the title block length (distance between TITLE START and the first TABLE START markers) and REPEAT TITLE is set to Yes, then minimum length between markers is the title block + 1 table row. This assures that the title block plus 1 successive table row will appear on each page.

 If the value is greater than 0 but less than the title block length (distance between ###TITLE START### and the first ###TABLE START### markers), and REPEAT TITLE is set to No, then the minimum length between markers is the title block. This assures that the title block will appear on the first page followed by a continuous table on subsequent pages.

Bill,
I am customizing shop docs to output a tool list and would like to add images for each cutting tool. Where do I need to change this? Is there a mom variable that will do this? Also, instead of tool time for each tool, I would like to output an accumulated time for the program?

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

It is not yet possible to automatically add images for each cutting tool to Shop Doc output. However, this is an enhancement request that we are currently aware of and one that has been discussed at length.

If I understand your second question correctly, I believe mom_machine_time is the variable you will need to use. This mom variable will give you the total machine time including cutting, non-cutting, and other additional times such as tool change time.

Thanks,
bill

Between the table end and the body end of the shop doc, I would like to have more space for special notes that I can input via an expression and a part attribute. Are there a limited number or characters for a string expression or part attribute? Or, how do I change the output for the size limitation after name and date and, before body end?

Thanks,

To get more physical space for output in Shop Docs, increase the cell size in your Excel template. Cell will not auto-size to accomodate output content. Be sure the cell is set to allow text wrapping. To my knowledge, there is no limit to the number characters for a string expression or part attribute.

Hello Bill,
its possible to influence printing area?... I've tried it to set to my Excel template, but no influence - if I want print a new Schop doc I have to manualy set it. Now I'm not talking about height of page - this is good, but width - I have to increase width of my cells and now everytime when I make new shopdoc I have to set printing area manualy to print width on one page.

Hello,

I'm currently using NX 8.5.2.3. I was able to create my own template but I have a problem with formating. All the numbers are coming out to 10 decimal places (ex: 12._PHONE_). Is there a easy way to fix this issue?

Thanks

Hi Nick,
You can edit the decimals by outputting as excel before finally outputting as html. Doing that allows you to format the cells, i.e. number of decimals.
Do this:
* Go to the folder \MACH\resource\shop_doc\excel_templates and open shopdoc_excel.tcl in a text editor.
* In line 60 change the excel path to match your installation of Excel
[SNAGHTMLde0052]
* On my system the excel execution file is located according to this path:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\excel.exe
* Save the tcl file and output your Shop Doc in NX again.
* The Display Output option is a toggle to launch the web browser and show the Shop Documentation.
[SNAGHTMLeb5564]
* If it is turned on, the default web browser will launch.
* If it is turned off, the output will still be created but not displayed.
* If you have modified shopdoc_excel.tcl as described above, you will get an output which opens excel every time you launch Shop Documentation.
* Therefore, it is advisable to turn off Display Output if you are also outputting excel to avoid getting two outputs shown.
* In the excel output you can modify cells before saving.
* That means, e.g. you can adjust the number of decimals shown in cells to a more reasonable amount.

Hi;
I am currently using NX 9.0.3.4
In Shop Doc, the are so many radius variables of the insert tooling in Turning modual... such as ${mom_tool_nose_radius}, ${mom_tool_radius}, ${mom_tool_button_diameter} etc...

Is there any single variable that represent turning insert radius, to spit out the correct value?
If not, can we use "If" or "Or" statement in variable? if yes, how?

Seperate subject; Can we use Conditional Formating in Excel?

Thank you
-Vea

Acupressure Treasures: Lao Gong - Pericardium 8
Loa Gong - Pericardium 8
Loa Gong - Pericardium 8.
Lao Gong is an acupuncture point (Pericardium 8) and a minor chakra in the center of the palm of the hand, frequently employed by practitioners of energy healing modalities.
Lao Gong & Energy-Healing
Taoist practitioners and other energy healers who use qigong emission (external qi therapy) techniques to amplify and balance another person's qi (life-force energy) frequently use the palms of their hands as a place from which to emit energy. And you've probably seen photos, if not experienced in person, saints and healers from various spiritual traditions offering group blessings by extending the palms of their hands in the direction of their devotees. What's going on here?
Lao Gong - Palace Of Labor
As it turns out, the palm of the hand is home to one of the most powerful acupuncture points, which is considered also to be a minor chakra. The Chinese name for this point is Lao Gong, and it's the 8th point on the Pericardium meridian. "Gong" means palace, and "Lao" means labor or toil; so the point name is often translated as "palace of toil" or "palace of labor."
Pericardium 8 may have been named "palace of labor" for a very mundane reason: because the hands are the part of the body frequently used to engage in manual labor. A somewhat more interesting explanation is that, according to the Five Shen system, the heart is the residence of the "emperor" of all the shen. Since the pericardium is the sac that encases and protects the heart, we can think of it also as being the heart's (and emperor's) "palace," whose job (i.e. labor) it is to comfort and protect the king.
Pericardium 8 - Location
The classical location of this point is where the tip of the ring finger lands, in the palm of the hand, when we make a fist (i.e. between the 3rd and 4th metacarpal bones). Some modern texts define the location to be where the tip of the middle finger lands when we make a fist (i.e. between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones). You can use either location or a combination -- depending upon what you're intuitively drawn to.
As alluded to above, Lao Gong is used in all kinds of ways, in the context of qigong healing -- as a location from which to emit qi from one person to another person. Its classical acupuncture indications (i.e. the effect its stimulation has on our own bodymind) include calming the spirit and resolving fatigue.
How To Activate Lao Gong
To massage your own Lao Gong, simply rest one hand, palm up, on the fingers and palm of the other hand. Then, use the bottom hand's thumb to reach into the palm of the top hand. Apply moderate pressure, with the end or tip of your thumb, moving it in tiny circles, as you place your mental focus gently upon the point.
Another way to activate Lao Gong energy is to place the palms of your hands together in "prayer position" in front of your heart-center. Then separate the palms just slightly, so there's about an inch distance between them. With your attention resting gently in the space between the palms, begin to move your two hands in tiny circular motions, maintaining that one-inch distance between them. Notice what you feel.
Then, slowly, in a wave-like fashion, pull your hands apart, until there's five or six inches space between them; and then press them back toward each other, until they're almost but not quite touching. Repeat this movement, ten or fifteen times (with your eyes either open or closed), with your attention, once again, in the space between the palms, i.e. between the two Lao Gong points.
Chances are you'll begin to notice sensations of heat or tingling, or a sense of heaviness (or lightness), or a magnetic or taffy-like feeling in and between your palms. This, at least in part, is the activation of the Lao Gong points.
Once your Lao Gong points are activated in this way, you can use the Qi (life-force energy) flowing from the palms of your hands to nourish, support and harmonize the Qi of your friends and clients, via specific qigong healing techniques, or a more intuitive "laying on of hands."

Southern, coastal forest landowners needed for Maine Forest Tick Survey
Forest landowners in southern and coastal Maine are partnering with University of Maine researchers as part of the state's first active tick surveillance citizen science program.
The Maine Forest Tick Survey based at UMaine seeks volunteer landowners with 10–1,000 wooded acres in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Hancock, Knox, Kennebec, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo and York counties. The citizen scientists will collect ticks for identification and testing for associated pathogens, and send them to the university for analysis. Online training and collection materials, including drag cloths and vials, will be provided for volunteers in June.
Sampling will begin in July, the month when blacklegged tick nymphs (the life stage responsible for most human infections) are active. Participating citizen scientists will be asked to sample for ticks on three days throughout the month for an hour each day, and will receive the identification and pathogen test results of their tick samples, as well as reports about the findings of the entire project, during the winter.
The Maine Forest Tick Survey focuses on helping landowners understand tick-borne risks in their woods in order to protect themselves. The researchers leading the survey — faculty members Allison Gardner, Jessica Leahy and Carly Sponarski — also are studying the relationship between land management practices and tick-borne risk to help better protect landowners, recreationists and forest workers in Maine.
More information about the Maine Forest Tick Survey, including how to volunteer, is available online or by contacting Elissa Ballman, the citizen science coordinator, _EMAIL_. Follow project updates on Facebook and Twitter.

When uploading images to the media library, WordPress will automatically generate several thumbnails so that a more optimized image size can be used.
Since different themes and plugins will often use different sizes, you might need to periodically regenerate your those resized images. In this article, we'll show you how to regenerate your image thumbnails using WP-CLI.
Regenerating All Thumbnails
To regenerate all thumbnails for all images inside your WordPress media library, you can use the following command:
wp media regenerate --yes
Once the command is run, all thumbnails for all images will be regenerated. Of course, if you have a large number of images inside your media library, it might take some extra time to run through them all.
Regenerating Missing Thumbnails
What if you updated your theme to add an additional image size but don't want to regenerate the thumbnails that already exist? You can regenerate thumbnails for only the missing image sizes using the --only-missing option like this:
wp media regenerate --only-missing
Regenerating Thumbnails for Specific Images
If you want to regenerate thumbnails for a specific image, you can specify it by including the attachment ID after the command like this:
wp media regenerate 123
To regenerate thumbnails for multiple specified attachment IDs, just add them to the command like the following example:
wp media regenerate 123 456 789
Keeping Old Thumbnail Sizes
When regenerating your WordPress media library image thumbnails, the default behavior is to delete the old thumbnails. If you want to keep them, you can use the --skip-delete option:
wp media regenerate --skip-delete
Regenerating Specific Thumbnail Sizes
In addition to being able to specify a specific image to regenerate thumbnails for, you can also define a specific thumbnail size to regenerate. To regenerate a specific size, use the --image_size option with the name of your thumbnail size as the value like in the following example:
wp media regenerate --image_size=large

How To Create Easy Vertical Space for Cats
Cats are masters at using vertical space—and being able to survey their surroundings from a high perch adds calming enrichment when space is limited.
At a recent ASPCA Field Investigations and Response temporary shelter in North Carolina, the clever use of extra crate doors made life much more interesting for the cats.
You can do something similar in your own shelter—here's how!
What You'll Need
- Extra door from a pet airline crate—door should be large enough to hold an adult cat
- 2-3 large zip ties
- Duct tape
- Soft bedding
Six Easy Steps
- Use the door from an airline carrier to create a suspended shelf—the shelf should be large enough to hold an adult cat.
- Place the door in a corner of the cat enclosure with the latch pointing towards the floor.
- Use several large zip ties to make a loop from the top of the cat enclosure through the crate door to suspend the shelf.
- Secure the sides with a few zip ties for stability and cut the sharp edges off.
- Wrap duct tape around the primary support to prevent the cat from getting stuck in the loop created by the zip ties.
- Add soft bedding to cover the shelf and wait for a cat to try it out!

The Brotherhood of Logicians was an assemblage of intelligent humans who emphasised pure logic. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen). It was originally founded by students during the Cyber-War as a secret society who opposed the war on the grounds they believed that humans should become more like Cybermen. (AUDIO: Last of the Cybermen)
Five hundred years after the Cyber-Wars, Eric Klieg and Kaftan (both members of the Brotherhood of Logicians) openly financed an archaeological expedition to the cyber-tombs of Telos, secretly motivated by the belief they could form an alliance with the Telosian Cybermen to help the Brotherhood seize power. Both were both killed by the Cybermen. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen)
