Description of the Our House animation
Curiousgirl introduces this animation by asking players if they want to grab their telescope and find out who comes to Parliament house.
This animation opens with two discs, containing symbolic representations, moving clock-wise in a circle, backed by a duotone image of Australia's Parliament House and the screen title 'Our house'. At the same time as the circles appear, the sound of clap sticks and didgeridoo are heard. The two discs are located at opposite positions on the circular path. One has an image representing Australia's Parliament House and the other is a design representing an Aboriginal meeting.
As the two images rotate around the screen the text'meeting place' appears in the centre of the screen. After a few seconds a third disc containing an image of members of parliament in the House of Representatives chamber appears at the same time as a speech is concluded. The central text changes to 'for politicians'.
After a few seconds a fourth disc containing an image of people in the foyer appears with the sound of a guide welcoming a group of visitors to Parliament House. The discs are arranged equally around the circular path and the central text changes to 'for the public'.
In a few seconds, a fifth disc containing an image of a media crew interviewing a politician appears and the central text changes to 'for the media'. At the same time a female news reporter introduces the top news story on a news program called PEO news hour.
Next a sixth disc containing an image of a demonstration outside Australia's Parliament House appears. The audio suggests an angry protest. The central text changes to 'for protestors'.
Following this a sixth disc containing an image of Crown Princess Mary of Denmark appears as a familiar Australian tune begins. The central text changes to 'for international guests'.
Finally, the central text fades out and the discs move off the screen and the background image of Parliament House lights up to full colour. The text 'Australia's Parliament House' appears and the audio fades to complete the animation.

In this paper, we proposed a novel two-stage channel estimation (2S-CE) method. In contrast to conventional channel estimation methods, this method makes the maximum use of the information contributed by the known data in every transmission burst. In the first stage, the least-squares (LS) algorithm was used to estimate the channel impulse response (CIR) based on the normal training sequence. Then the maximum channel memory was estimated and used to locate the uncorrupted data in the guard interval. In the second stage, the uncorrupted data together with the normal training sequence were sent to the LS algorithm again to obtain the fine-tuned CIR. To verify the efficiency of the proposed 2S-CE method, both a theoretical analysis and computer simulations have been done. Computer simulation results confirm the analysis results and demonstrate that the proposed 2S-CE method outperforms a conventional single-stage channel estimation method.

Can You Add To A Notarized Document?
How do you add a notary to a document?
Once the type of notarization is decided (either by the document recipient or by the signer), you can add a notary certificate by attaching a loose one, writing it by hand on the document, or, if your state allows it, using a rubber stamp..
How do I write a notarized statement?
Personal notarized letterYour full names and address.Dates of signing the letter.A section for the notary to sign the letter.Details of the _URL_ of the letter.
Agreements do not have to be written to be legally binding. However, it is a good idea to have a written record of what you have agreed to.
Can I notarize the same document twice?
You may notarize the signature of one person appearing before you and then the second person can appear before a Notary in their city/state and have their signature notarized.
Can you void a notarized document?
Since 1933, the Supreme Court has ruled that these documents are considered illegal, immoral and void. … If ever judges, lawyers and notaries-public have prepared and signed this kind of document, they will be reprimanded by the Court. Penalties such as suspension or disbarment will be imposed.
What is required on a notarized document?
The notary must know and follow state notary laws. The notary must write his/her official signature and stamp or seal the document according to state law. The notary fills out a notary certificate that includes the date and the type of notarial act, an acknowledgement or a jurat.
Does a notarized title expire?
What Happens When The Seal Date Has Expired? … Just because the commission seal date has expired, however, doesn't mean the notarized document is invalid. As long as the notary notarized the document before the commission expiration date, the document is valid.
What makes a notarized document invalid?
Illegible/ Expired Notary Seal: Stamp impressions that are too dark, too light, incomplete, smudged, or in any way unreadable may cause an otherwise acceptable document to be rejected for its intended use.
Is it illegal to change a notarized document?
Any changes to a notarial certificate must always be made by the Notary who performed the original notarization. A certificate with more than one person's handwriting on it may cause suspicions of tampering.
Will a notarized will hold up in court?
How long is a notarized letter good for?
A notarized document is just any document where a notary witnesses the signers signature. There is no expiration on the fact that it was witnesses by a notary.
What happens when something is notarized incorrectly?
How do you correct a mistake on a notarized document?
The only way to fix a mistake is for the Notary and signer to meet again to complete a new certificate.
A document that's notarized is a secure way to sign the contract, but the document will still be legally binding without being notarized. … If you forget to include an item in the document, it doesn't exist in the agreement. The wording clarifies what each party is legally bound to do.

Two-Step Grain-Growth Kinetics of Sub-7 nm SnO2 Nanocrystal under Hydrothermal Condition
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015
In this work, the grain growth kinetics of SnO2 quantum dots under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. By varying the reaction temperature and duration, SnO2 particle sizes were tuned from 2 to 7 nm. It is demonstrated that the growth behavior of subnanometer-sized SnO2 underwent two distinct processes: below the critical size of 5.5 nm, about double of Bohr radius, the grain growth kinetics obeys an Ostwald ripening mechanism, while above that, an oriented attachment process governs the particle growth. For the former cases, the activation energies were Ea1 = 61.94 kJ/mol at 200 °C and Ea1′ = 62.84 kJ/mol at 160 °C, which greatly differs from that of Ea2 = 131.32 kJ/mol for the latter case. High-resolution transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction as well as UV–vis diffuses reflectance, photoluminescence, Fourier transmission infrared, and Raman spectra were employed to reveal the size-dependent properties. As the particle size of SnO2 reduces, there occurred a lattice expansion, band gap broadening, and an abnormal blue shift. All these characteristics are closely related to the size changing in a narrow range from quantum dots to several nanometers. The findings reported here may shed light on further understanding the unique behaviors of quantum dots.

Invisible fences for dogs are low-cost, flexible electric barriers that use a battery-powered collar to administer an electric shock to keep dogs from crossing property lines. If someone recently moved to a home without a fenced-in yard or chose to adopt a dog and their home does not already have a boundary to keep a dog on the property, they might consider a Temporary Dog Fence as a way to keep their dog from straying and getting hurt.
It is critical to keep one's dog on the property because many cities have rules prohibiting dogs from roaming freely, and one would not want their dog to go lost or injured. The difficulty is that traditional fences are frequently expensive, subject to municipal regulations, unsightly, and ineffective for dogs that can dig under or leap over them. That is, a wireless dog fence is practical.
Here are some facts concerning invisible dog fences to help people determine if they need one to keep their dog on the property.
To avoid becoming perplexed, here are some definitions. There are three different types of Invisible dog fences. All three work on the same principle. They are used in conjunction with a vibration or shock collar. When the dog approaches the border, a beep, vibration, or tiny electric shock is produced to alert the dog to steer away from the border. One can find great reviews about dog collars at MyPoof and select the one that suits them.
All three invisible fences employ radio frequencies to establish the barrier. What differs is how they construct the boundaries. They use a tiny transmitter to generate a spherical boundary for wireless fences. If someone wants to keep these boundaries effective, they should be little more than an acre in size. Underground dog fences are made up of a wire that runs around the perimeter of the property. The radio signal is sent through the wire by the transmitter, which is connected to it. It enables you to construct it to fit any property shape. Splicing wires together can also be used to form a large border.
Finally, there are GPS dog fences. To construct the boundaries, they use radio signals from circling satellites. The range is determined by the owner and can also be used to keep track of the dog. The major disadvantage is that satellite boundaries are the least consistent and dependable of the three technologies.
Reasons Owners Confine their Dogs
Fencing keeps a dog from becoming a nuisance in the neighborhood, but there are other issues to consider. Keeping a dog properly confined keeps them safe by averting mishaps that can occur when he is allowed to roam freely. Dogs that are fenced in are less likely to be hit by cars, have fewer hostile contacts with other dogs, are less likely to contract contagious diseases, and are less appealing to pet thieves.
Reasons to Install a Wireless Dog Fence
Dog owners may want to consider traditional or electronic fences for their dogs' safety. The benefits of invisible fences for dogs are listed below:
1. Reasonable Cost
Although less expensive alternatives of classic fences exist, area ordinances frequently define the sorts of building materials that are permitted. Some fencing materials (wood, iron) are pricey, and labor is an additional cost. Even when professionally erected, wireless electric fences are often less expensive.
Traditional fences are best for flat or moderately sloping yards, but invisible fencing may be used on nearly any terrain. Invisible fences may span uneven terrain, densely forested areas, and bodies of water. Electronic fences can also construct vast exercise grounds for dogs by covering acres of territory in any layout.
Invisible fences, well, are just that. Invisible. These boundaries do not obstruct picturesque views or green spaces, and they really improve the experience of being outside.
People can freely move around the yard without having to open and close gates. Outlining flags is inconvenient, but only for a short time. The flags can be removed once the dog has learned the limits of the electric fence.
Electric fences are easier to install than traditional enclosures. It takes less time to trench and lay wire than lay fence posts, weld iron, nail boards, or roll wire.
An electric fence may be a better option for dogs who like to climb over, burrow under, or chew through fences.
6. Decreased Human Error Issues
Electric fences lessen the risk of escape in crowded households with a lot of foot traffic because pet owners frequently forget to close a gate.
The sight of a dog in the yard may dissuade intruders because they are unlikely to recognize that the dog may not be able to reach them.

Conservation through Collusion: Antitrust Barriers to Cooperative Fishery Management
Jonathan H. Adler
Case Western Reserve University School of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
Antitrust law aims to protect consumers from anti-competitive conduct that can restrict output and increase price. Conservation, on the other hand, often requires restrictions on output in order to maintain resource consumption at a sustainable level. Thus, while antitrust and environmental law both seek to advance the public interest, in the context of resource conservation they can conflict. Collective arrangements among private firms to reduce output or allocate market shares are inherently suspect, even if the intent or effect is to conserve an otherwise threatened ecological resource. This paper examines the tension between resource conservation and antitrust in the context of marine fisheries. Beginning in the 1930s, fishing unions and cooperatives have been prosecuted for setting prices or restricting output, even where such arrangements have served conservation purposes. By limiting the sorts of cooperative arrangements that fishers or other common pool resource users may adopt to limit access or utilization of the underlying resource, antitrust law may inhibit the development of more effective self-governing institutions.

13.1.7 DotProduct_Mathematic_Vector Procedure
The DotProduct procedure calculates the global dot product of two Mathematic Vectors.
Note that I would rather call this routine ''Dot_Product'', but the F90 standard does not allow underscores in defined operator names (i.e. ''.Dot_Product.'' is not allowed).
Calling syntax:
Output = MV1 .DotProduct. MV2 or
Output = DotProduct(MV1, MV2)
Input variables:
 MV1, MV2 Two Mathematic_Vector objects to be dotted.
Output variable:
 DotProduct Scalar result of taking the global dot product of the two Mathematic Vectors.
The DotProduct_Mathematic_Vector code listing contains additional documentation.

A group practice is a group of doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and possibly other healthcare providers who practice together. Group practice providers share their individual knowledge, skills and resources to provide specialized and coordinated care to patients.
A group practice may be a small group of providers that share a physical space, often located in a clinic, hospital department, or medical or dental office. Group practices may also be large and include hundreds of providers as part of an organized system of care, such as a large health plan or hospital system.
Patients benefit by the medical knowledge of all specialists in a group practice. Group practices may specialize in an area of care (e.g., cardiac care) and include various specialists (e.g., cardiologist and cardiac surgeon). Together, these specialists provide comprehensive and efficient care to patients with simple to complex conditions. For example, a critically ill patient with advanced kidney disease can benefit from the expertise of a provider practice that includes specialists in nephrology and critical care medicine.
Many group practices design care strategies to anticipate patient needs, prevent complications, maintain optimal health and function, and improve quality of care. To help in this goal, group practices frequently include other specialized healthcare professionals. This can include a counselor, dental hygienist, diabetes educator, dietician-nutritionist, and specialized registered nurses (RNs). For example, an orthopedic or sports medicine practice may include physical therapists and athletic trainers as part of the practice.
Teamwork across specialties in a group practice is coordinated through the use of electronic health records; dedicated care managers (or care coordinators); evidence-based, recommended care guidelines; and systematic monitoring of quality and efficiency.

text: The overarching aim of this study was to examine and explore the barriers to resettlement for foreign national women living in the community in the UK, and to shed light on the complex ways in which non-citizen immigration status shapes the lived reality of resettlement for this group. In recent years, there has been an increased focus by the UK government on the deportation of 'foreign national criminals' on completion of their sentence, an emphasis that has geared foreign national women's pathways through the CJS strongly towards the possibility of deportation, over rehabilitation and resettlement. Yet, many foreign national women are released into the community post sentence – indeed, 260 women in 2017 (Ministry of Justice 2019), in addition to women serving community sentences. By interviewing women in open, semi-structured conversations, my aim was to identify and gain much needed insight into the challenges they face, giving space for women to voice the struggles – often painfully sustained and unyielding – that shape their daily lives in the community and render rehabilitative goals impossible. By interviewing practitioners, I aimed to identify the barriers they come up against in providing support and to ask how these could be addressed. Ultimately, the research makes recommendations for urgently needed improvements to current provision for this group.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
What I have is a LineItem object and a collection called LineItems that holds LineItem objects. My LineItem objects have a property called ItemDate (DateTime data type) and another property called ItemAmount (decimal data type) and another property called ItemCategory (integer data type).
What I am trying to do is write a function in my collection object that will return the integer category in whichever category has the highest sum(ItemAmount) of that category. For example, if I had this:
Object 1:
Object 2:
Object 3:
OK so in this example, the function should return 2 since ItemCategory 2 had a bigger ItemAmount (535) than ItemCategory 1 (50+25 = 75).
This I know how to do. What makes it harder though is I need it to be able to do this over time, meaning, if an amount has a large amount, like 535, but some other objects have smaller amounts, but there are more of them to closer dates, then it needs to be techically "larger" than the other amount. It is almost like the amount needs to take into account frequency too. $10 amount occuring everyday needs to be "larger" than $500 occuring once a year, even if the $500 is larger than $10 every day. It is almost like I need to look at a month of data through a year's magnifing glass.
I hope this question makes sense.

Assign the amount a weight based on timespan since last time? – dtb Jul 19 '10 at 17:24
Your description lacks sufficient detail to create an algorithm. Perhaps you need to simply divide the amount by some function (linear, square,...) of the date difference between now and the date it occurred so that near events are worth more? Is it age or frequency you care about? If frequency, over what duration? How do you know if the $500 is a one-off or just the first in a series of $500 payments? etc. etc. – Ian Mercer Jul 19 '10 at 17:26
ok maybe this will help. What I'm doing is creating a.NET program to manage my finances. Whenever I buy stuff, I want to be able to sort the collection on whatever category has the most amount spent. Food is something I buy everyday and therefore my program should track it normally. Once in a while though, I may buy something out of the blue. For example, if I need to buy ink for my printer, then i really don't need to track this because my money is not being "burned" buying ink. It was a "one-time" thing. Even though I might be $100 transaction, it shouldn't track this on a daily basis. – icemanind Jul 19 '10 at 17:45
I guess I only care about tracking stuff that actually occurs more then a few times a week. – icemanind Jul 19 '10 at 17:46

Try this:
class ListItem
 internal DateTime When;
 internal decimal Amount;
 internal int Category;
class ListItems
 internal List _items = new List();
 internal int GetCategory(DateTime from, DateTime to)
 Dictionary totals = _items
 .Where(y => y.When >= from && y.When < to)
 .GroupBy(x => x.Category)
 category => category.Key,
 category => category.Sum(item => item.Amount)
 return totals.Keys
 .Where(category => totals[category] == totals.Values.Max())
The Linq's a bit of a mouthful, but if I understand the question correctly, I think it'll work.

Sounds like you might want a traveling window sum: pick a time period (say, 30 days), and track the total of items within that window.
If you just want a single instance (say, 30 days ending right now), of course all you need to do is sum up those items within the window. But, if you want to plot a graph, it is most efficient to sort your items, and perform a running accumulation; add items coming into the window, and subtract items leaving it.
To implement a traveling window, you can use two iterators into a sorted list (the following is pseudocode, not C#):
// initialize
acc= 0.0
for(startP= SortedItems.begin;!startP.last; startP.next) {
 if(startP.item.time > graphstart - timewindow) { break }
for(endP= startP;!endP.last; endP.next) {
 acc += endP.item.value
 if(endP.item.time > graphstart) { break }
// main loop
for(;!endP.last; endP.next) { // advance time window to next item
 endItem= endP.item
 endTime= endItem.time
 for(;!startP.last; startP.next) { // subtract items leaving time window
 startItem= startP.item
 startTime= startItem.time
 if(startTime > endTime - timewindow) { break }
 acc -= startItem.value
 output(startTime + timewindow, acc) // register graph values coming down
 acc += endItem.value
 output(endTime, acc) // register graph value going up

How To Add Data Sensitivity Classification Command in SQL Server 2019
Jordan Sanders Hacker Noon profile picture
_USER_-sandersJordan Sanders
PR Manager at Devart since 2010 | Obsessed with the promotion of database development optimization
For a database administrator, the common everyday practice involves running multiple operations targeted at ensuring database security and integrity. Thus, we shouldn't overlook the importance of sensitive data stored in the database under any circumstances. In light of this, we are excited to demonstrate the new ADD SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION command introduced in SQL Server 2019, which allows adding the sensitivity classification metadata to database columns.
What's the big deal about data protection?
There are numerous types of applications that store sensitive information both for users, such as credit card numbers, passwords, health care information, IDs, SSN, and other applications like credential data, trade secrets, certificates.
The leak or breach of such information can lead to horrific consequences as companies might be forced to pay millions of dollars in damage compensation to customers and financial institutions.
To be compliant with regulations for personal data such as GDPR or healthcare data (HIPAA), the company needs to acquire the best practices of data security and protection.
What the command offers
The most sensitive data in your database mainly refers to the business, financial, healthcare, or personal information. To establish a high level of your organization data protection, the key steps you should undertake are to discover the sensitive data and then to classify it. This is where the new command will show to its best advantage.
Above all, it will help you meet the standards for data privacy and requirements for regulatory compliance. Additionally, with its help, you can implement several scenarios to monitor (audit) and alert on anomalous access to sensitive data. Finally, you will be able to toughen the security of databases containing highly sensitive data and manage access to them.
Summarizing the above, one of the pivoting points in compliance practice is to know which data has to be secured, classify this data, give access to only a limited number of people allowed to view or modify it, and continuously monitor access to your sensitive data to know all access patterns.
For starters, let me remind you that a similar feature – Data Discovery and Classification was introduced into SSMS v17.5. As well as the ADD SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION command, the SSMS wizard allows classifying data and labeling it with sensitivity tags. To learn the details and the differences between these two, refer to our article about SQL Data Discovery and Classification in SSMS.
Let's now talk about the ADD SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION command in greater detail. Hence, this section will deal with the most important issues related to discovering, classifying, and labeling columns that contain sensitive data in your database, along with viewing the current classification state of your database.
Below are the two metadata attributes used in the classification of sensitive data:
Labels are the main classification attributes. Their task is to define the sensitivity level of the data stored in the column. You can indicate your data as being Public, General, Confidential, Highly Confidential, etc.
Information Types give additional description of the type of data stored in the database column. They indicate the field your sensitive data refers to, whether it is Banking, Contact Info, Credentials, Financial, or else.
Rank defines the sensitivity rank and ranges from none to critical, as shown below:
SQL Syntax
To add sensitivity classification to a database object, simply apply the following syntax:
 [,...n ]
 WITH ( [,...n ] )
 ::=
 ::=
 LABEL = string |
 LABEL_ID = guidOrString |
 INFORMATION_TYPE = string |
 INFORMATION_TYPE_ID = guidOrString |
Let's consider the following example:
As well as that, SQL Server 2019 introduced the sys.sensitivity_classifications system catalog view, which returns information types and sensitivity labels. You can use it to manage the database classifications, as well as to generate reports. With the limitation that the classification is supported only for columns.
Use the following query to review all classified columns with the corresponding classifications:
 SCHEMA_NAME(sys.all_objects.schema_id) as SchemaName,
 sys.all_objects.name AS [TableName], sys.all_columns.name As [ColumnName], [Label], [Information_Type]
left join sys.all_objects on sys.sensitivity_classifications.major_id = sys.all_objects.object_id
left join sys.all_columns on sys.sensitivity_classifications.major_id = sys.all_columns.object_id
 and sys.sensitivity_classifications.minor_id = sys.all_columns.column_id
See the example output below:
Database Audit
Database audit involves analyzing and tracking the activity of database users related to database security, access and usage, data creation, change or deletion. Auditing is an essential part of database security because oftentimes database administrators and consultants have to make sure the permission to access data is only given to those who need it and not otherwise.
There's no denying that the most critical part of any organization is its data. There can be many users who might have permission to manipulate data, and it is extremely important that all confidential and restricted data not be edited by unauthorized users.
Applying the ADD SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION command, you can quickly and easily detect the most vulnerable data and classify it. After that, the classification state is added to the audit log, which helps monitor access to sensitive data for compliance and auditing purposes.
If you want to keep up with the latest changes introduced in SQL Server 2019 and find an appropriate tool for that, take a look at SQL Complete v6.6. The tool offers auto-completion functionality and is intended for SQL database development, management, and administration. Also, SQL Complete 6.6 supports the ADD SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION command.
SQL Complete 6.6 enables you to easily classify database columns by prompting sensitivity labels that show the vulnerability of the data in the database column. With the tool's suggestions, you can quickly and effortlessly tag columns according to the data sensitivity level.
Aside from the sensitivity label, a column may have another attribute – Information Type, which provides additional granularity to the type of data stored in the database column. Again, quick and comprehensive prompts by SQL Complete 6.6 significantly facilitate data classification.
In the suggestion window, SQL Complete 6.6 marks columns containing personal or confidential information according to GDPR with black or red circles depending on the sensitivity degree.
On that note, let's outline the main capabilities and advantages the new feature has to offer. Add sensitivity classification is a powerful enhancement introduced into SQL Server 2019 bound to improve database security and compliance with data protection rules. With its help, you can easily discover the columns that contain potentially sensitive data, create reports as well as add the classification metadata. By using the command, you are sure to facilitate database audit and bring access to your sensitive data under control.

The History of Lapland is the first anthropological publication from Oxford University Press. Written by a Swedish professor of law and rhetoric, it describes the beliefs, customs and artefacts of the Sámi people.
The study was commissioned by Sweden's chancellor in response to rumours that Sámi witchcraft was responsible for Gustavus Adolphus's victories in the Thirty Years War. Scheffer's account reflects an interest in Sámi magic by describing the prophesying of shamans and depicting the drums which induced their trance states. The book also contains detailed illustrations of Sámi crafts, modes of travel and sacred sites. However, Scheffer never conducted fieldwork in Lapland himself. Instead, he relied on the testimony of missionaries and public officials.
While Scheffer did not dispute their association with paganism and magic, his portrayal of the Sámi as charitable and peaceful people led to romanticised notions of their culture. This English translation was responsible for stimulating interest in Lapp love songs. Those published by Addison and Steele in the Spectator journal were indebted to Scheffer's translations. Their versions in turn found their ways into the writings of notable poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Aim The objective of this study was to determine if undergraduate paramedics could accurately perform common drug calculations and basic mathematical computations normally required in the workplace.
Method A descriptive paper-based questionnaire collecting demographical data, student attitudes regarding their drug calculation performance, and answers to a series of basic mathematical and drug calculation questions was administered to undergraduate paramedic students.
Results The mean score was 39.5% with only 3.3% of students (n=3) scoring greater than 90%, and 63% (n=58) scoring 50% or less. Conceptual errors made up 48.5%, arithmetical 31.1% and computational 17.4%.
Conclusion This study suggests undergraduate paramedics have deficiencies in performing accurate calculations with conceptual errors indicating a fundamental lack of mathematical understanding.

text: Cameron Park Elementary School in Hillsborough held an Early Earth Day Celebration on April 11 with visits from two special guests: NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and UNC's Nobel Prize-winning scientist Oliver Smithies.Williams went to the International Space Station aboard the shuttle Discovery in December 2006 and remained in space for 195 days, setting the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman. While she was in the space station, another astronaut cut her long ponytail and sent the hair back to Earth to be donated to Locks of Love, which makes wigs for cancer patients. She also ran the Boston Marathon in space last year to draw attention to fitness for kids. Students also learned Williams worked seven-hour days wearing a 300-pound space suit, ate dehydrated food and exercised frequently to help prevent bone loss due to the lack of gravity. She told the students about the special respect and appreciation for the earth that she gained from her perspective in space.Smithies, who won the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine, engaged Cameron Park students in a discussion about the excitement of discovery. Using a basketball, he showed how daylight moves around the earth as it rotates. He also showed students a helix and mentioned his laboratory experiments in genetics. Smithies' work has been recognized as revolutionizing research into the genetic basis of disease.Students also enjoyed outdoor games and lots of learning about conservation, recycling and environmental protection.Outdoor learning exhibits were presented by the North Carolina Fossil Club, SEEDS, North Carolina Fisheries, Orange County Soil and Water Conservation, Orange County Erosion Control, Orange County Solid Waste and Recycling, Bountiful Backyards, and Occaneechi leader John Blackfeather Jeffries.

Tacrolimus trough and dose requirements vary dramatically between individuals of European and African American ancestry. These differences are less well described in other populations. We conducted an observational, prospective, multicenter study from which 2595 kidney transplant recipients of European, African, Native American, and Asian ancestry were studied for tacrolimus trough, doses, and genetic determinants of metabolism. We studied the well-known variants and conducted a CYP3A4/5 gene-wide analysis to identify new variants. Daily doses, and dose-normalized troughs were significantly different between the four groups (P <.001). CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) was associated with higher dose-normalized tacrolimus troughs in all groups but occurred at different allele frequencies and had differing effect sizes. The CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272) and *7 (rs413003343) variants were only present in African Americans. CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367) was not found in any of the Asian ancestry samples. We identified seven suggestive variants in the CYP3A4/5 genes associated with dose-normalized troughs in Native Americans (P = 1.1 × 10 −5 -8.8 × 10 −6 ) and one suggestive variant in Asian Americans (P = 5.6 × 10 −6 ). Tacrolimus daily doses and dose-normalized troughs vary significantly among different ancestry groups. We identified potential new variants important in Asians and Native Americans. Studies with larger populations should be conducted to assess the importance of the identified suggestive variants.

Batect supports mounting directories from the local filesystem into a container. This allows data to be persisted between task invocations, and for the container to access local files such as application code.
However, Batect supports an alternative mechanism called a cache which is designed to provide high performance data persistence between task invocations.
These are often necessary for downloaded packages and libraries, such as Node.js's
node_modules directory or Golang's
GOPATH, where performance is
critical but accessibility outside the container is less important.
The need for this alternative mechanism stems from the fact that on macOS and Windows, ordinary Docker directory mounts like these come with a significant performance penalty. While acceptable for application code, this performance penalty quickly accumulates when used for many files, as is the case for cached packages and libraries.
For details see how to use caches with containers.


The Original FileMaker Community
The Leading Filemaker Developer Tools
A little bit of SQL in FileMaker 12 – FileMaker Today
One of my favorite new features of FileMaker Pro 12 is the ExecuteSQL function, which allows you to perform a SELECT SQL query against your FileMaker tables. ExecuteSQL allows you to use SQL to create calculations that otherwise might be very difficult or cumbersome. For example, in the past, if you wanted to get the list of values that had been used anywhere in the field areaCode in your contact table, you had to first create a value list using that field, then create the calculation: ValueListItems ( Get ( FileName ) ; "AreaCodes" ). It worked, but it was a bit of a hack to have to create that extra value list.
Now, all you need is:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT DISTINCT areaCode FROM contact" ; "" ; "" )
/* The last two empty parameters tell FileMaker to use
 the default comma and carriage return as column and row separators */
Okay, so it does require learning a bit of SQL (check out the W3Schools' SQL Tutorial). But many queries are straightforward, and using SQL this way can simplify the relationship graph.
Say I wanted to get all the area codes used in Massachusetts. Using the old value list method, I would need to create a field somewhere to store the abbreviation "MA", create a relationship from that field to the contact::state field, and define my value list to use only related values starting from the table with the new field. With ExecuteSQL, all I need is to update the formula to:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT DISTINCT areaCode FROM contact
 WHERE UPPER(state)=?" ; "" ; "" ; "MA" )
/* The fourth parameter is used to fill in the? in the query.
 It could be a field instead of a text constant */
Here's one of my favorites: often it's useful to know the name of the base table (the ones define on the Tables tab of the Manage Database dialog) that is the source for a table occurrence (the tables that appear in the graph). You may have lots of table occurrences, named leads, students, personsOfInterest, relatives, and so one, but each is really an instance of the contact table. Outside the Manage Database dialog, any reference to a table is really a reference to a table occurrence (so Get ( LayoutTableName ) returns leads, for example, not contact).
In the past, it would be necessary to name each consistently to include the underlying base table (so contact_leads, contact_students, contact_personsOfInterest, etc.), and then parse the table occurrence name. Be careful changing table names! But with SQL, you can use the following to get the name of the base table of the current layout:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT BaseTableName FROM FileMaker_Tables
 WHERE TableName=?" ; "" ; "" ; Get ( LayoutTableName ) )
FileMaker_Tables is a special table you can query via SQL to get a list of all table occurrences, and the BaseTableName column tells you the name of the source table.
You can replace Get ( LayoutTableName ) with any table occurrence name to get it's base table. I like the following calculation field that stores the name of the table as data, which can be extremely useful when exporting and importing data:
Let ( [
FQFN = GetFieldName ( Self ) ;
tableOccurrence = GetValue ( Substitute ( FQFN ; "::" ; ¶ ) ; 1 )
] ;
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT BaseTableName FROM FileMaker_Tables
 WHERE TableName=?" ; "" ; "" ; tableOccurrence )
The two variables in the Let function first get the fully qualified field name (including table occurrence name) of the calculation, and then parses out just the table occurrence name for use in the query. Since the calculation never makes reference to anything but Self, you can copy and paste this calculation field to any table without needing any editing.
What's your favorite use of ExecuteSQL?

You now have better control over the format of your customer data in Totango, thanks the List attribute type.
With the List attribute you can predefine field values and set defaults, allowing administrators to standardize inputs.
Once you've set up your first List attribute, you can do the following things:
- Restrict inputs to predefined values
- Filter Segments
- Use List values like any other attribute. For example: kick off a SuccessPlay or Campaign when the field value changes.
Creating a List attribute
To set up a List attribute, follow these steps (note - you must have the Global Admin role to create a custom attribute):
- Navigate to Global Settings
- Select Attributes and Metrics
- Choose whether you are creating the attribute at the Account or User level
- Click the green "+" button to add a new attribute
- Name the attribute and provide a description
- For the attribute type, select List.
- Define the values for this List. You can re-order values as necessary.
- Decide whether or not the field can be edited. Note: if you decide to restrict editability, no one including Global Admins will be able to edit the field value from within the Totango user interface.
- Decide whether or not the field is visible to everyone, or restricted to users who's SuccessTeam has access to these accounts.
- Select what you want to happen in case a new account is created or updated and no value is provided for this field. Your options are:
- Delete - the attribute will not be displayed on the Account or User profile. If there is an existing value in the field and a null value is upload, the existing value will be cleared and the attribute will be deleted from the Account Profile.
- Previous Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value via manual upload or through the API, Totango will retain the previous value rather than deleting it.
- Default Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value, Totango will populate the default value as defined by the Global Admin.
- Save your attribute and it's ready for use!
Using List attributes in Segments
Once created, the List attribute can be used to generate segments. When you using a List attribute in your segment criteria, you will have two options:
- Is one of - Allows you to select one or more values to search on.
- Is not one of - Allows you to filter out undesired values from your segment.
Because disabled values are not deleted, it is possible to use disabled values in your segment criteria.
- List values cannot be deleted once they are created; however, they can be disabled and renamed.
- When List values are renamed, once saved, the changes will cascade to all accounts.

September 13, 2018, © Leeham News.: Last week we began an article series looking at the cost equation for an airliner. We discussed the different costs and how these would be affected by airline type and operating area.
Now we calculated the different costs for a Legacy airline operating either in the US, West Europe or Asia.
- The Narrowbody operated by a legacy carrier has high Aiport costs as it frequently take-offs and lands on major airports.
- For the Widebody operation, the fuel and capital costs are higher than Navigation and Airport fees. The differences in how the US, Europe and Asia handle en route navigation fees creates a large Navigation cost difference between the geographies.

"Cavity" refers to a space, or gap between the cladding and the structure. Cavities have been standard practice between brick veneer and timber framing for many years. This is because it has always been well understood that brick cladding gets wet, so it needs to be kept away from the wooden framing.
At the end of 2004 a new Building Act was enacted, which was part of a whole raft of changes introduced by central government, largely in response to the "leaky building crisis". The aim was to improve the Building Industry overall. One of the changes made in 2004 ensured that almost all monolithic claddings were installed over a cavity from then on.
This means the structural framing of the house is separated from the cladding, which reduces the chances of water reaching the framing. In houses built after 2004, the cavity is generally constructed with vertical battens (usually but not always timber) which space the cladding out from the framing by about 20mm. The bottom of each wall is then fitted with a perforated strip, intended to prevent vermin entering the cavity and allow air to circulate freely throughout the cavity, as well as allowing any accumulated water to drain away freely. In some systems the top of the wall has additional ventilation to increase the air circulation. Very few older monolithic clad houses have such a cavity, although some do have alternative means for providing at least some drainage and drying, for example rigid backing to solid plaster comprised of diagonal boards with gaps between

A methodology for topside design and integration in preliminary warship design
This thesis investigates warship topside design and integration and proposes a methodology that provides, during the preliminary design stages, an enhanced topside design capability above that currently available. The feasibility of such a system is demonstrated through a number of individual investigations and ship design studies for both conventional and unconventional naval vessels. A recommended implementation of the methodology, integrating it with the recently produced layout system, is proposed as the way forward. Topside design is a complex task resulting from the requirement to locate all the necessary equipment on the weatherdeck and superstructure of a warship whilst minimising interactions. The current tools and design methodologies fail to cohesively address design issues at the concept stage. This is often due to the specialist nature of the analyses, which require detailed definitions only available later in the design process as well as expert knowledge in the application of the techniques. The proposed methodology provides guidance as different design solutions are developed and evaluated, allowing earlier identification of potential problems. It operates in an 'open' manner providing the naval architect with the flexibility to investigate and analyse the design as it evolves without dictating design decisions or requiring expert application knowledge. The major issues that need to be considered during preliminary warship design are discussed. Current design methods and the shortfalls associated with each of them are considered. A methodology is outlined detailing the principles that are applicable and the important components and characteristics of any solution identified. The major aspects in topside integration are investigated and design tools proposed and evaluated. A framework for the integration of these tools is developed which is suitable for implementation using current computer technology. The suitability of this framework to incorporate other less complex but important topside design issues is evaluated and appropriate techniques identified.

«Short version of the classic shotgun mic, with switchable filter and pre-attenuation functions. Excellent off-axis (lateral and rear) attenuation. Free of coloration.
The KMR 81 is a shotgun microphone with a high directivity that remains within the acceptance angle independent of the frequency.
The advantage is that a sound source, for example an actor on stage, will not change its apparent tonal balance when moving within this area.
Shotgun microphones are particularly useful in recording situations where a microphone cannot be positioned within the desired distance of the sound source to produce a sufficiently loud signal level.
Typical applications are film and video recordings, where the microphone should not appear in the picture.
The KMR 81 has been specifically designed for electronic news gathering.
In principle, Neumann shotgun microphones use a combination of a pressure gradient transducer and an interference tube. If the wavelength of the frequency is longer than the tube length, the microphones work as pressure gradient transducers. At higher frequencies they operate as interference transducers for lateral sound. Off-axis sound sources are picked up with reduced level, but without coloration.
Therefore, the microphones are well suited to record individual instruments of an orchestra. The pickup areas of several shotgun microphones may even overlap as, for example, during recordings on a large stage, without causing any problem.
The KMR 81 is less sensitive to wind and pop noise when compared to the KM 150 miniature microphone with a similar high directivity. The shotgun microphone features extremely low self noise, good impulse response, and high output level. »

Victorian Women on Farms Gathering Collection
Image: Patch - Victorian Women on Farms Gathering, Warragul 1999
Source: Museum Victoria
Since 1990, Victorian rural women have met at annual events, Women on Farms Gatherings, to share common interests, exchange information, celebrate their contribution to their farms and communities, and support and nurture each other.
Each Gathering is linked by a tradition of sharing memories, symbolic icons, women's stories, workshops, rituals, farm tours, good food and fun. The meaning, identity and action expressed through these collective activities are often 'life changing' for participants and foster a deep sense of community.
These gatherings emerged as part of the 'rural women's movement' in Australia. This movement sought to raise the profile, opportunities and voice of rural women. The Victorian Gatherings were soon replicated in other states around Australia, and fed into the organisation of the world's first 'Women in Agriculture' conference held in Melbourne in 1994.
The Women on Farms Gathering Collection dates from the first Gathering held at Warragul in 1990 and covers the first 20 years up to 2009. The Women on Farms Gathering Collection is a community project involving the active participation of rural Victorian women in collecting, interpreting and sharing their histories.
A cow pat, mallee root and motherboard, are some of the 'icons' in the collection and offer a colourful and symbolic insight into the stories and experiences of rural women. These icons have been chosen by the organisers of each Gathering to symbolise and celebrate the leadership, unity, diversity and resilience of rural women. The collection also includes two large banners (one of which is used and altered at each Gathering), videos, photographs, a memorial plaque, memorabilia and a large collection of oral histories.
The collection has state and national significance. It highlights the diversity of rural women's experiences, documents the contribution of women to their farms and communities, the changing nature of agriculture and contemporary issues affecting the future of Victorian rural communities. The contemporary and collaborative nature of the collection has created important community links across rural and regional Victoria and has directly influenced the development of associated collections and research, including: toxic waste campaign, 2009 Victorian bushfires, water security, climate change, drought, sustainable agriculture, gender and demographic change.
The active involvement of rural women in the development of this contemporary collection has fostered new and exciting possibilities for museum practice and the history making process:
"...we are creating living history. This Heritage Project with Museum Victoria is the first time that the museum has ever attempted something like this, and to my knowledge it is one of the few things in a museum that I have ever seen, which hasn't had to die to be recognised, and I find that very refreshing." Ann Jarvis (Inaugural member of the Women on Farms Heritage Group, Kergunyah)
"Collecting, documenting and displaying these stories through the community partnership between Women on Farms Gathering Heritage Group and Museum Victoria is groundbreaking. It is a model for how institutions may reshape their role to work collaboratively with communities to better interpret and represent their place in Australian life." Kerry Wilson, Member of the Women on Farms Heritage Group, Violet Town)

Use Functions in CMD Script

Functions in CMD Scripts
The below code will allow you to use functions in your RouterOS CMD scripts. I was finding myself using the same code snippet multiple times, in multiple scripts. This was not only inconsistent, but also time consuming, as I had to adapt the code each time it was inserted into a new script. If I wrote a routine that needed to be changed, I would have to change it (and remember where) in every script that used it.
By using functions, you're able write one piece of code and "call" that code from any other script. If you need to make a change to a it, you only need to do it once, at the function's source. Functions also provide consistency, as you're not copying and pasting each time you need to use the same piece of code.
Here is the main function library. You could also separate function libraries, say Functions-Text, Functions-Firewall, etc...
# Script name: Functions
# Functions script library
# Remember: ' $ ' (dollar sign), ' " ' (double-quote), and ' \ ' (backslash) must be escaped with preceding backslash '\' to when used in functions
# Function input array is passed from calling script using:
# string: ":local input \"<input1,input2,...>\"; "
# command output: ":local input [/path/to/command get <item property>];"
# Function output array is stored in function's local $output variable
# Functions should always end with ; (semi-colon) - this makes it easier when calling from another script
#
# Ex. To call MyFunc with input "1,2,3,4", storing function's output in global var MyOutput
# From calling script:
# Code
# /system script run "Functions"
# :global MyFunc
#
# :global MyOutput ""
# :local runFunc [:parse (":global MyOutput;" . \
# ":local input \"1,2,3,4\";" . \
# $MyFunc . \
# ":set MyOutput \$output")
# ]
# $runFunc
# End Code
#
# The global variable $MyOutput now contains an array of output values from function
# To display output:
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 0]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 1]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 2]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput ...]
# Functions
#------------
# UniqueNumGen: Generates a fairly unique number from date, time, mem-free, and cpu-load
# Input array: none
# Output array:
# 0 = number generated
:global UniqueNumGen ":local output \"\"
 :set output (\$output . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11])

 :set output (\$output . [:pick [/system clock get time] 3 5])
 :set output (\$output . [:pick [/system clock get time] 6 8])
 :set output (\$output . [/system resource get free-memory])
 :set output (\$output . [/system resource get cpu-load])
 :set output [:tonum \$output]
 :set output [:toarray \$output];"
# DateToNum: Converts a given date (mmm/dd/yyyy) to numeric date (yyyymmdd)
# Input array:
# 0 = string date "mmm/dd/yyyy"
# Output array:
# 0 = numeric date yyyymmdd
:global DateToNum " :local output \"\"
 :set input [:toarray \$input]
 :if ([:len \$input] > 0) do={
 :local input1 [:tostr [:pick \$input 0]]
 :local months [:toarray \"jan,feb,mar,apr,may,jun,jul,aug,sep,oct,nov,dec\"]
 :local mon 0
 :for x from=0 to=([:len \$months] - 1) do={
 :if ([:tostr [:pick \$months \$x]] = [:tostr [:pick \$input1 0 3]]) do={
 :if (\$x < 9) do={ :set mon (\"0\" . (\$x + 1)) } else={ :set mon (\$x + 1) } } }
 :set output ([:pick \$input1 7 11] . \$mon . [:pick \$input1 4 6])
 :set output [:tonum \$output]
 :set output [:toarray \$output]
 };"
# TimeToNum: Removes ':' from given time (hh:mm:ss) -> (hhmmss)
# Input array:
# 0 = string time "hh:mm:ss"
# Output array:
# 0 = numeric time hhmmss
:global TimeToNum " :local output \"\"
 :set input [:toarray \$input]
 :if ([:len \$input] > 0) do={
 :local input1 [:tostr [:pick \$input 0]]
 :for x from=0 to=([:len \$input1] - 1) do={
 :if ([:tostr [:pick \$input1 \$x (\$x + 1)]] != \":\") do={
 :set output (\$output . [:tostr [:pick \$input1 \$x (\$x + 1)]]) } }
 :set output [:tonum \$output]
 :set output [:toarray \$output]
 };"
# -----------------
# End Functions
Here is a demo to show how functions can be used in your CMD scripts:
# Script name: DemoFunctions
# Demo of function library
# Import Functions script and functions we are using
/system script run "Functions"
:global UniqueNumGen
:global DateToNum
:global TimeToNum
# Demo: UniqueNumGen

Telling the Story: Mathinna (2008)
The focus of the production Mathinna is the social disruptions that occurred as British settlers relocated the Aboriginal people from their tribal lands and intervened in their cultural practices.
Excerpts from Mathinna
Mutton Bird is a contemporary dance representation of the mutton birds (shearwaters) that inhabit the coastal areas of Tasmania, and their significance as the totem to the clan to which Mathinna belonged.
Bringing Mutton Bird to the Stage: The Creative Process
The creating of Bangarra's production of Mathinna, of which Mutton Bird is a part, began with extensive research of historical records, as well as literary and visual interpretations. The artistic elements of Mutton Bird are created by the choreographer in close collaboration with the dancers, the composer of the music, and the costumeset and lighting designers.
Before Viewing
What do students already know about movement and dance, and the mutton bird?
After Viewing
What did the students experience watching Mutton Bird? What did they observe and what is their response to the work?
Next Steps
Use improvisation, exploration and experimentation of movement to create dance, communicate ideas, and reflect back on Mutton Bird.

Dr. Alan Wentz, Ducks Unlimited senior group manager for conservation and communications, issued the following statement regarding the news that two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service waterfowl biologists, Vernon (Ray) Bentley and David (Dave) Pitkin, were killed when their survey aircraft crashed in western Oregon on Sunday, Jan. 17:
"Ducks Unlimited and the rest of the waterfowl community have lost two great friends of conservation in Ray Bentley and Dave Pitkin. Ray and Dave were lost while contributing to the critical body of science that guides the best and most successful wildlife management model in the world. Aerial waterfowl surveys play a significant role in determining annual waterfowl regulations, and Ray and Dave's work was an important contribution to this overall effort.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Ray and Dave, and to the rest of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in this time of sorrow."
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved nearly 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

How long can a fart smell last?
It's smell spreads quickly and similarly disappears also quickly.
It takes 10–15 seconds to get rid of it..
How long will a fart stay in a jar?
7-10 days7-10 days depending on temperature and nostril flow. This includes shipment time. 6) How long does the smell last once the jar is open? It lasts as long as any fart that's released out into the wild; it depends on how much air is circulating.
How do you fart silently?
To do so, sit up straight, press your ass, hard, to your seat, and bring your legs together. You want to aim the fart slightly in front of you so it won't escape out the back. Then, let it out slowly and quietly, and wait for the verdict.
Where does a fart go when you hold it in?
Trying to hold it in leads to a build up of pressure and major discomfort. A build up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal distension, with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath. Holding on too long means the build up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart.
How fast is a fart in mph?
about 7 miles per hourHow fast does a fart travel? About 10 feet per second, which works out to about 7 miles per hour.
Can you save a fart in a jar?
"They figured an equally foul vapor, like a fart, could combat the disease, so they suggested patients store their farts in a jar. This way, when the plague appeared in their neighborhood, they could open the jar and inhale the fumes to ward off the bad vapors that came with the disease. It made sense to them."
Why do fart smells go away?
The gas particles diffuse (spread out) from the source. This diffusion makes the gas less condensed, and results in the strength of the smell of the gas to fade.
What makes a fart loud or silent?
The volume of gas released and the tightness of the sphincter muscles (located at the end of the rectum) each play a part in the sound effects. The larger the build-up of gas and the tighter the sphincter muscles are, the louder the emission.
Why do you fart before you poop?
A buildup of gas-producing foods and swallowed air during the day may make you more flatulent in the evening. Also, you're more likely to fart when the muscles in the intestines are stimulated. When you're about to have a bowel movement, for example, those muscles are moving stool to the rectum.
Can you light a fart on fire?
Of those fart components, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and methane can all be set on fire. … To some extent, you can actually tell what's in a fart by the flame's color. The flame from a fart where hydrogen is the primary fuel will burn yellow or orange, while an atypically high methane content will turn the flame blue.
Does a fart follow you?
Wet farts seem to stick. The dry components will tag along behind you because when you move you create a small vortex that sucks those smell modules along in your wake.
Can holding in a fart kill you?
Can you die from holding in a fart? There is no evidence that holding in a fart could kill you, though the pain and discomfort doing so causes can be severe.
Can you freeze a fart?
Yes. Yes you can. A fart is made of different gases, which all freeze at different temps. If you were to place your fart in an air tight box (that isnt your anus, HA) the gases would freeze at different times as the box cooled; however, there are so few molecules of any gas in fart relative to the volume it takes up.
Can you breathe out a fart?
Yes, that means you're essentially exhaling a fart right out of your mouth. … In one, that air will exit your body through a totally uncontrollable fart. And in the other, the gas will be reabsorbed through your gut and recirculated until it's expelled from your lungs via your breath.
Is it bad to hold in a poop?
Although holding in poop on occasion is not harmful, people who have a habit of doing this may develop constipation or more severe complications. People who hold in their poop too often may start to lose the urge to poop, which may result in fecal incontinence. Other people may experience constipation.

Currently not on view
1940-16-735Bequest of R. Wistar Harvey, 1940
LabelIn the early nineteenth century the disciplined and heroic volunteers at Philadelphia's several dozen fire companies wore special hats to identify themselves. Modeled on fashionable stovepipe hats but made in leather to withstand heat and water, these hats were also proudly worn at pumping contests and when marching in parades. Fire companies carefully selected their names and painted symbols; these included Ben Franklin, founder of the first fire company in 1736, evocations of the power of water, and the nobility of the American Indian.


Maximum memory maps configuration
This topic details how to modify the limit for the number memory maps a process can have on your system so that it meets Vertica requirements.
This topic details how to modify the limit for the number memory maps a process can have on your system so that it meets Vertica requirements. The installer reports this issue with the identifier: S0130.
The installer automatically configures the correct setting if the default value does not meet system requirements. If an issue occurs when setting this value, or you use the --no-system-configuration argument to the installer and the current setting is incorrect, then the installer reports this as an issue.
Vertica uses a lot of memory while processing and can approach the default limit for memory maps per process.
The recommended value is at least the amount of memory on the system in KB / 16, but not less than 65536.
All systems
To manually set the memory map limit:
 1. Run /sbin/sysctl vm.max_map_count to determine the current limit.
 2. If the limit is not 65536 or the amount of system memory in KB / 16 (whichever is higher), then edit/add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf. Replace 65536 with the value for your system.

 # The following 1 line added by Vertica tools. 2014-03-07 13:20:31
