Creating a Simple iOS Client for Relativity Server
September 23, 2011 in iOS, Relativity, Xcode
Today I want to talk about how to create a simple iPhone client application for Relativity server using the DataAbstract for Xcode templates. Though the focus will be on Xcode 4, the same mechanisms can be applied to Xcode 3.
Going through a set of actions, we will use a DataAbstract iOS Application template to create an application with several views representing a Master/Detail relation.
Let's start with the first step.
Creating a new project using a DataAbstract iOS Application template
Open your Xcode application and perform the File>New>New project… command.
In the opened sheet, choose the RemObjects Software category from the iOS templates section and select the Data Abstract iOS Application template.
Specify the product name and don't forget to set the Talk to Relativity Server option.
Finally, select the destination folder for your new project and press the Create button. Your new project should now be open:
Let's take a few seconds to review what you have at the moment. You should have a compilable application (with some warnings – we will review them a bit later) that has an AppDelegate class and a RootViewController with its xib. There should also be a DataAccess class, which will be responsible for all manipulation with data. The new project also has all the necessary linker flags and properly configured paths as shown in the screen-shot below:
Implementation of the iOS client
Now you can compile the application, after which you will see a set of warnings:
These warnings were generated by the template system to highlight places that require adjusting or proper implementation to get your application working. Let's walk through all of them and eliminate them one by one.
1. Adjusting the connection configuration
First, let's change some defaults in the generated DataAccess class to specify the Relativity server URL, domain and schema. For this example, let's assume that you have the Relativity server running on a Windows computer with the IP
Open the DataAccess.m file and specify the proper URL for the Relativity server, domain and schema.
You can comment the warning there, since we are done with it (as shown below).
//_TAG_ Define your server address and Relativity domain name, below.
_TAG_ SERVER_URL @""
_TAG_ SERVICE_NAME @"DataService" // Do not change when using Relativity server
_TAG_ RELATIVITY_DOMAIN @"PCTrade Sample"
2. Defining tables you want to work with
Since the DataAccess class encapsulates all functionality needed for working with data, you need to define your tables there. Let's define them as retain properties. See the code below:
_USER_ DataAccess : NSObject
 DADataTable *clientsTable;
 DADataTable *ordersTable;
 DADataTable *orderDetailsTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *clientsTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *ordersTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *orderDetailsTable;
Don't forget to add the proper _USER_ directive and release the properties in the dealloc method in the DataAccess.m file.
_TAG_ mark -
_TAG_ mark Properties
_USER_ clientsTable, ordersTable, orderDetailsTable;
- (void) dealloc {
 [clientsTable release], clientsTable = nil;
 [ordersTable release], ordersTable = nil;
 [orderDetailsTable release], orderDetailsTable = nil;
 [super dealloc];
3. Implementing the initial loading of data
Now let's implement the method for the initial loading of data from the Relativity server.
Locate the downloadData method of the DataAccess class and add the following code:
Note: Our templates contain various vital tips and explanations on how to use a particular method. Please carefully review this kind of information, it can be very useful.
- (void)downloadData {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to download any data your application needs on first start
 NSArray *tableNames = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
 ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME, nil];
 NSDictionary *tables = [rda getDataTables:tableNames];
 [self setClientsTable:[tables valueForKey:CLIENTS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrdersTable:[tables valueForKey:ORDERS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrderDetailsTable:[tables valueForKey:ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME]];
Note that we used a synchronous call to getDataTables here, because the whole downloadData method will be executed in a background thread (i.e. asynchronously).
4. Adding briefcase support to your application
In order to allow your application to work in offline mode, you need to persist downloaded data somewhere on the device. Let's use the DABriefcase functionality for this.
Locate the loadDataFromBriefcase: and saveDataToBriefcase: methods in the DataAccess class and implement them as shown below:
- (void)loadDataFromBriefcase:(DABriefcase *)briefcase {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to re-load your data from the briefcase when re-launched
 [self setClientsTable:[briefcase tableNamed:CLIENTS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrdersTable:[briefcase tableNamed:ORDERS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrderDetailsTable:[briefcase tableNamed:ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME]];
- (void)saveDataToBriefcase:(DABriefcase *)briefcase {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to save your data to the briefcase
 [briefcase addTable:[self clientsTable]];
 [briefcase addTable:[self ordersTable]];
 [briefcase addTable:[self orderDetailsTable]];
 // Uncomment this to finalize briefcase support
 // (without this value written, DataAccess will ignore the briefcase when starting up,
 // see threadedLoadInitialData)
5. Extending the Orders table with lookup and calculated fields
Let's look at the orders table structure. It only has a minimal set of the fields like id, client id, date and status. That's not a lot and it would be be great to see (for example) the customer name instead of its ID and the total sum for the given order (which could be calculated from the OrderDetails table). Toachieve this, you'll have to add lookup and calculated fields to the Orders table. Locate the setupData method of the DataAccess class and add the following implementation:
- (void)setupData {
 // Use this method to implement any setup that's needed on your data tables, such as
 // creating lookup or calculated fields, etc.
 [[self ordersTable] addCalculatedFieldName:@"OrderTotal"
 [[self ordersTable] addLookupFieldName:@"CustomerName"
 sourceField:[[self ordersTable] fieldByName:@"Client"]
 lookupTable:[self clientsTable]
 lookupKeyField:[[self clientsTable] fieldByName:@"ClientId"]
 lookupResultField:[[self clientsTable] fieldByName:@"ClientName"]];
-(id)calculateSumForOrder:(DADataTableRow *)row {
 double result = 0;
 NSPredicate *p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Order == %@", [row valueForKey:@"OrderId"]];
 NSArray *rows = [[orderDetailsTable rows] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:p];
 for (DADataTableRow *orow in rows) {
 double summ = [(NSNumber *)[orow valueForKey:@"Total"] doubleValue];
 result = result + summ;
 return [NSNumber numberWithDouble:result];
6. Checking the login and password stuff in your Application delegate
Relativity server provides secured services protected by login and password. Thus, when asking for data the first time, a SessionNotFound exception will be raised on the Relativity side to tells you that you need to login to the Relativity domain first. When you log in to it, it will be able to find your registered session and allow you to proceed. The iOS client application can catch this kind of exception and provide a login operation in the background, and, after successful login, it will repeat the last failed request. When you open the PCTradeClientAppDelegate.h file you will see that this class supports the DataAccessDelegate protocol, which has a needLogin:password: method that will be used for obtaining the proper login and password.
Since you are mostly using default settings, you can leave the already generated method untouched. It should look like this:
- (BOOL)needLogin:(NSString **)login password:(NSString **)password {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to ask the user for login information when needed
 // The DataAccess automatically takes care of storing login information in Settings and Key Chain,
 // and retrieving it as necessary. This method is only called when no login is stored (i.e. on first
 // run) or if the login retrieved was rejected by the server.
 // Typically, you would implement this method to bring up a UI that asks the user for his credentials.
 // By default, new Relativity Server domains will use "Data"/"Relativity" as login, unless
 // the login provider setup has been changed by the administrator.
 *login = @"Data";
 *password = @"Relativity";
 return YES; // return YES if the user provided login details, or NO if the user canceled
7. Implementing the RootViewController
You can now configure the root view to show the list of clients:
Open the RootViewController.m file and locate the myTable method that specifies the main data table for the whole current view. Since the default name myTable is a bit nondescript, let's use the Refactoring>Rename option to rename it viewData.
Now add the following implementation:
- (DADataTable *)viewData {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to return the table this view will work on
 return [[DataAccess sharedInstance]

HTML Scrolling Image
This page contains examples of scrolling images that were created using the
 tag. For a standards-compliant version, see CSS Scrolling Image instead.
The HTML method of creating a scrolling image is to place an
 element inside a
 element. Although the
 element is not part of the official HTML specification, it is widely supported by most major browsers.
Right to Left
To make your image scroll left (i.e. from right to left), use
direction="left". Here's an example:
Left to Right
To make your image scroll right (i.e. from left to right), use
To make your image scroll up (i.e. from bottom to top), use
To make your image scroll down (i.e. from top to bottom), use
direction="down". Like this:
You can change the scrolling speed of your marquee. For example,
scrollamount="1" sets the marquee to a very slow scroll, while
scrollamount="20" will make it faster. You can use whatever number you like though. Like this:
More Marquee Codes
You can do much more with HTML marquees than is covered on this page. Here's the full list of marquee codes on this website:
Also check out the Marquee Generator.
Try to be careful when using HTML marquees. Many web users dislike websites that contain scrolling or bouncing images and other elements, so try to use them tastefully :)

Rhino 3D Tutorial
How to use the 3dRudder within Rhino3D
This tutorial explains step by step the movements that will allow you to navigate your 3D models in Rhino3D using the 3dRudder, and gives you tips to optimize your navigation.
The 3dRudder is a precise device that registers angles and pressure measures and whose settings can be adjusted to your own personal use.
Also note that the 3dRudder can be used in 3D views (perspective) as well as in orthographic views.
1. Check you're ready to start
First of all, make sure the 3dRudder CAD plugin is installed on your computer, and that the 3dRudder control panel appears in Rhino3D.
You haven't installed the plugin yet? Click on the following link to access the plugin installation guide.

Plug the 3dRudder's USB cable to your computer.
illustration-step02-a
The 3dRudder will beep several times as shown below, meaning it's been perfectly identified by your computer.
illustration-step-2_white_en-1
Sit down and make yourself comfortable. In order to make the best use of your 3dRudder we recommend you follow the indication as shown below.
illustration-step-4_white_en
Put your feet on the 3dRudder and, once you've found your own comfortable position, stay still for half a second until you hear a short beep (calibration).
illustration-step-3_white_en
Good to know
The 3dRudder will take this position into account as your Neutral Position, meaning as long as you maintain this position or return to this position, no movement will be triggered into Rhino. There's a zone of tolerance around this position called Dead Zone.
2. Dolly (forward/backward)
By tilting the 3dRudder slightly forward or backward, you'll trigger a Dolly.
The more you tilt, the quicker you move.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_DOLLY2
The Dolly is a translation movement of the « camera » towards the point of interest, also called target.
Dolly_lock
3. Horizontal Orbit
Rotate the 3dRudder around its vertical axis, to the left or the right, to trigger the Horizontal Orbit.
Speed of movement is progressive and depends on your angle of rotation.
To stop the movement, return to your neutral position.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_HORIZ-ORBIT
By default, a rotation to the left will make the camera move in a circular manner from right to left, making the observer feels like moving around the target.
Orbit_Horiz_lock
Tip:
Tick the Invert box to switch from a mode into which you turn around the object to a mode where it looks like the object rotates on itself. This functionality will prove useful to the designers working on single objects of small dimension.
Fichier_Tip_Invert_orbit
4. Pan (horizontal translation)
Tilt the 3dRudder sideways to the left or the right to trigger a Pan.
Again, the movement is progressive and proportional to the angle.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_PAN-1
The pan is a simultaneous translation of the observer and the target.
Pan_Horiz
5. Vertical Orbit or Vertical Pan
Exert an opposite pressure with the toes of one foot the heel of your other foot to trigger a vertical orbit.
1 – toes of left foot / heel of right foot = Up
2 – toes of right foot / heel of left foot = Down
Again the movement is progressive and proportional to the level of pressure.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_UPDOWN
The Vertical orbit is a vertical rotation of the observer around the target.
UpD_OrbitVertical_lock
Tip:
Hold down the left Shift key at any moment to switch from a Vertical orbit to a Vertical pan. Go back to the Vertical orbit by releasing the key.
UpD_PanVertical
Tip:
Tick the Toggle box of the Vertical orbit section to invert the command by default. By doing so, Vertical pan becomes the regular command and Vertical orbit, the option.
Fichier_Tip_toggle_Shift
Tip:
Tick the Invert box to reverse the up/down command associated with your feet.
Eg. Toes of left foot / heel of right foot will trigger a Down instead of an Up movement.
Fichier_Tip_Invert_Orbit-Vert
6. Setting options
Dead zone
The Dead Zone represents a window of inclination angles (illustrated in orange) that trigger no movement into Rhino. The span of this window can be adjusted, to allow you find your best stability zone.
Fichier_Dead_Zone

The slider is where you can adjust your Dead Zone independently for each axis.
You can also type in a numeric value comprised between 0 and 99% directly into the cell. This value will be saved for your next session.
Fichier_Panel_Dead_Zone
Speed
The slider offers the possibility to adjust the speed for each axis independently, meaning a given angle can trigger a slower or quicker speed according to the value you enter.
You can also type in a numeric value comprised between 0 and 99% directly into the cell. This value will be saved for your next session.
Fichier_Panel_Speed
Freeze / Unfreeze
Clicking on the Freeze button deactivate your 3dRudder (Frozen).
Clicking anew on the button will re-activate your 3dRudder (In Use) and the position of your feet on the device at this moment becomes your new neutral position.
Tip:
using the Freeze command proves really helpful to modify your neutral position at any moment.
You can also trigger the Freeze control by typing "3drudderfreeze" in the command bar of Rhino3D.

Investigations of diffusion barriers for application in back-contacted solar cells
The characterization of barriers against phosphorus diffusion for application in back-contacted solar cells by using the sheet resistance imaging (SRI) method is investigated. The focus is set on a screen-printable TiOxlayer, which is compared to a thermally grown and photolithographically patterned SiO2-layer. Within the measurement error the effectiveness of the TiOx-layer as a diffusion barrier is proven. The high resolution of the SRI allows to observe structures in the diffused areas of very small scale.

I created a 2 column layout block, gave the columns block a CSS class of.first-col-2-3
and added this CSS to my theme:
.first-col-2-3 > div:nth-child(1) {background:red;width:67%!important;}
.first-col-2-3:nth-child(2) {width:33%!important;}
The result is that the columns stay 50% / 50% width.
But the first one does get a red background.
So the correct column is targeted, yet the width property isn't changing to make the two columms 67% and 33% respectively.
How do I make the column widths change?
I see a way to add a CSS class to the paragraph within each column but that doesn't work either. Any ideas / solutions? Thank you!
You can add a 2 column block layout where 1 block takes up 2 thirds in the block editor using the UI. Adding CSS classes to achieve this is highly unusual and unnecessary
When you add a column block it asks you:
enter image description here
Resulting in column blocks spaced for thirds:
enter image description here
Each block has a percentage width in the block settings:
enter image description here
If you wanted to use the CSS classes from your theme you have several options:
 - Build a custom columns block
 - Add CSS classes to the column blocks, completely override or remove the block CSS and add in your own
It appears you tried to do the latter, and ran into a 100% pure CSS issue, CSS questions are best asked on stackoverflow (they're offtopic on WPSE as they aren't WordPress questions)
 - I'm not seeing that UI come up in WordPress 5.2.5. When I click on the block settings I'm not getting column settings, just settings for the objects contained in columns (images, headings, etc.) – javaandy Jan 6 '20 at 14:08
 - Upon upgrade to 5.3.2 it worked! Thank you. – javaandy Jan 6 '20 at 14:11
 - You have to have the column block selected, it sounds like you had one of its child/nested blocks selected instead – Tom J Nowell Jan 6 '20 at 16:23

Highly efficient and multidimensional extraction of targets from complex matrices using aptamer-driven recognition
aptamer, adsorbent, selectivity, separation, extraction
ABSTRACT Adsorbents are widely employed in both fundamental and applied research areas such as separation technology, biotechnology, and environmental science. Selectivity and reusability are two most important requirements for adsorbents. Aptamers exhibit perfect selectivity and easy regeneration, which make them uniquely effective adsorption materials. Herein, we have rationally designed novel aptamer-based adsorbents and investigated their performance in extraction/ separation of targets from an aqueous solution. These adsorbents can selectively extract targets from complicated sample matrices containing background compounds. Moreover, they can also be easily recycled without a significant loss of adsorption capacity. Notably, the adsorbents did not affect the activity of isolated biological samples, revealing their potential for the purification/separation of biomolecules. Composite adsorbents were constructed using aptamer-based adsorbents and a porous polymer, displaying highly efficient target separation from aqueous solution. Finally, separation columns were constructed, and targets in the aqueous solution were efficiently separated by these columns. The aptamerbased adsorbents described here exhibit great promise for potential applications in separation technology, biotechnology, and environment-related areas.

The African Mantis, or more specific and scientific Sphodromantis lineola, is a large and fierce species of mantis. It is commonly kept as a pet because of its size and fierce hunting techniques and its relatively easy care.
Her natural habitat lies in sub-Saharan Africa.
This species of praying mantis is usually green, but there are also beige and brown varieties. The difference in color is mainly due to the environment in which the animal is kept. The brown varieties can have beautiful purple eyes as can be seen on the pictures on this page.
This is one of the larger species of praying mantis that is being successfully kept in captivity. The females are about 8 cm long, the males are a bit smaller with 6 to 7 cm. The males are thinner with wings that are slightly longer than their body. The females are larger, with wings that extend just to the end of the abdomen. On their wings they have a yellowish dot.
Sphodromantis lineola is a fierce kind of praying mantis. She will actively chase prey once she has spotted it. Females can handle very large prey. Males can sometimes be a bit intimidated by VERY large prey such as locusts, so it is better not to give them extremely large prey. When the adults of this species feel threatened it may raise its wings and move its front arms sideways to expose an orange colored area.


the geocentric watch concept is the creation of designer geoffry cooper. the idea for this exposed wristwatch is inspired by the motion of the planets orbiting around the sun. the watch face is composed of two rings which are always in motion. the time is told by seeing where the two inner rings are located in respect to the outside ring. the inner most ring is used to represent seconds while the middle ring signifies minutes. the watch has a simple white plastic band that highlights the exposed inner workings of the watch on the face.

To capture the rate of participation, two forms of indices were constructed: one to measure attendance in group meetings, and the other to measure their influence on decisions. The relative importance of factors such as locality, group and household characteristics that affect participation were analysed using linear regression models. Of the three sets of factors, it was found that household characteristics were the most influential. The analysis shows that males actively participated in group meetings. Level of education and involvement of households in other local organizations were the other major factors affecting participation.


Vehicle restoration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Cosmetic restoration)
Jump to: navigation, search
Vehicle Restoration is the process of restoring a vehicle that is either partially scrapped or otherwise life expired back to its original working condition.
Automotive restoration can be applied to many different eras of automobile. Heritage railways and railway museums aim to restore and operate restored trains. Bus preservation groups aim to purchase buses of various eras to restore them to their original operating condition. Trains and buses are often restored to the original authentic livery of their original owner.
Restoration process[edit]
A BMW R60/2 motorcycle undergoing a frame-up concours restoration
Restoration of a vehicle refers to the process of restoring a vehicle to its original condition. Neither updating or modifying are considered part of the restoration process. A restored car is one that has had all of its systems and or parts restored to original condition. Selectively restoring parts or systems is referred to as refurbishing. It does not qualify as restoration. Rebuilding an engine may restore that engine, but it does not restore the car, or entitle the car to be called a restoration.
A car that has had its body work restored to as new but has undergone some modifications elsewhere is either a modified car or a resto-mod car. It is was neither completely restored not completely modified. If a car has had an engine swap for other than the original model, that car has not been restored. Although most of the parts are original, it qualifies as modified rather than restored.
There are many aspects to the process of vehicle restoration. The goal is to return the vehicle to its 'original' state.[1] To accomplish this, a vehicle must often undergo many structural and aesthetic changes.
The first project is disassembly.[1] The car is taken apart and the chassis is inspected.[1] The chassis must be in order as it the structural foundation of the vehicle. The next task is typically are the vehicles engine and mechanisms.[1] The restorer will mechanically bring the vehicle into working order before aesthetically restoring the interior and exterior of the vehicle.[1] Once the vehicle is mechanically functional the body work is then done to the car.[1] Once the exterior restoration is completed, the last task is the interior finish.[1] The restoration of the car is complete when the interior restoration is completed.
Interior restoration[edit]
Interior restoration is the process of returning the inside of the vehicle to its original factory state.[1] Often a vehicle's interior must be need to be completely stripped out before restoration can occur.[1] This is because deterioration over time that can leave materials like wood, cloth or leather in unusable condition.[1] Also abandoned vehicles have the potential to contain biohazardous material within the cabin caused by decay and habitation by animals.[1] Often seating will be stripped to the wire framing before being stuffed and upholstered.[1] The seat is still considered to be authentic after undergoing this process.[1] Other areas of interior restoration include replaced instrument paneling, car radios, flooring and wooden paneling[1]
All mechanical and electronic equipment such as a speedometer, gas gauge, air bags and other equipment necessary to the safe operation of the vehicle must be inspected.[1] The vehicle interior is considered restored when it is returned the state of function and aesthetic the car was in after its manufacture[1]
Exterior restoration[edit]
Restoration of a vehicle's exterior can take many forms. A vehicle that has been left or abandoned will often accumulate rust over time.[2] Sometimes this rust deterioration can render an exterior part unusable.[2] In which case a replacement part like a fender, front grill or door mirror much be purchased outright from an external source.[2] If rust damage is minor however the part will undergo rust repair.[2] This is the process of removing rust from metal and returning structural integrity.[2] This is accomplished by removing the rust through sanding or blasting to get down to bare metal.[2] Then new sheet metal or fiberglass is applied to the affected area. Finally the piece is worked until smooth, primed and re-painted.[2]
Other materials like glass and weather stripping must be replaced as they become damaged over time.[1] Factors like weather erosion can lead to faded and broken glass as well as dried out weather stripping. Another typical area of exterior repair is dent removal.[1] This entails taking the original metal and re-working it to remove dents and other such blemishes.[1] Professionals often use hammer and dolly work to remove dents. This involves placing the dented metal piece over a curved metal dolly and using an electric or manual hammer to remove the dent and smooth the metal.[1]
Engine restoration[edit]
The internal combustion engine requires regular maintenance to ensure its continued function.[3] Engine oil, power steering and brake fluid are examples of engine maintenance that must be kept and checked at regular intervals.[3] Often wear and tear over time can leave an engine totally unusable. In which case the restorer might remove the existing engine and replace it with a similar or modern engine substitute.[3] In order to conduct an engine restoration first a technician will conduct a thorough inspection. Often pre-restored vehicle have engines that have gone without maintenance for years and therefore require engine restoration to return them to working order. The engine is removed from the car and inspected for broken and non-functional parts.[3] Typical parts that require replacing include the pistons, spark plugs, fuel lines battery, fuses, timing belt and various gaskets.[3] All are subject to deterioration over time. Structural components like the engine block, cam shaft and crank shaft are less likely to require repair but not uncommon.[3] Typically, after all required parts are gathered, the disassembled pieces will be cleaned, lubricated (if required), and reassembled. The engine is then replaced within the car.[3]
A mechanic will then perform a series of tests to ensure that the engine is in working, road worthy condition.[3] This is known as a pre-start engine check. First all the lines and hoses are checked for breaks and leaks. Second the radiator is topped off with water to ensure that the system is sealed off. Next the oil level is replenished. Finally the battery charge is checked and the ignition system is inspected. The engine is then ready to be started.[3]

Non-binary people can face harassment in gendered bathrooms because they dress differently than the way people who typically use the bathroom they're in, or because they do dress the same, but their sex assigned at birth doesn't match their gender. No one should have to worry about their safety when all they want to do is use the toilet. If every school had gender-neutral bathrooms, non-binary students can just use those and skip the whole harassment deal.People who are non-binary often are forced to choose between male and female bathrooms. If someone feels that they are neither of those, then it is unjust to make them use one of them. That's like making someone who doesn't like skirts choose between wearing pencil skirts and loose skirts their whole lives. If someone is non-binary, then they should be able to go to a bathroom that is for their gender.
If there are gender-neutral bathrooms that non-binary students can go to, they might be less likely to fear harassment, and more able to focus on schoolwork. Non-binary students should be able to focus as much as any other student on their work, and having only gender binary bathrooms can cause those students to have to worry about being intensely bullied. Every student deserves to be able to focus entirely on school.

View or Configure an Address Rewrite Entry
Exchange 2010

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
Topic Last Modified: 2012-07-23
You can use the Shell to view or modify an existing address rewrite entry on a computer that has the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server role installed.For more information about address rewriting, see Understanding Address Rewriting.
Looking for other management tasks related to transport agents? Check out Managing Transport Agents.
CautionCaution:
Be careful when you modify an address rewrite entry. Any changes that you make are applied immediately when the command is run. We recommend that you first run the command with the WhatIf parameter.
For more information about the WhatIf parameter, see WhatIf, Confirm, and ValidateOnly Switches.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Address Rewriting agent" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.
noteNote:
You can't use the EMC to view a summary list of all address rewrite entries.
This example provides a summary list of all address rewrite entries.
Get-AddressRewriteEntry
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-AddressRewriteEntry.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Address Rewriting agent" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.
noteNote:
You can't use the EMC to view detailed configuration of a single address rewrite entry.
To view detailed configuration of an address rewrite entry, you must pipe the output of the Get-AddressRewriteEntry command to the Format-List command by using the following command syntax.
Get-AddressRewriteEntry <GUID or address rewrite entry name> | Format-List
For more information about pipelining, see Pipelining. For more information about how to work with the information returned by a command, see Working with Command Output.

noteNote:
You can't use the EMC to modify an address rewrite entry.
To modify an address rewrite entry, you must provide the Identity parameter of the address rewrite entry that you want to modify. You typically use the name of the address rewrite entry as its identity, although you can use its GUID.
You can modify several parameters configured on an address rewrite entry. To modify an address rewrite entry, specify the identity of the entry in double quotation marks. You don't have to specify the Identity parameter label because it's implied. Also, you should include each parameter that you want to modify, together with its value.
To modify an address rewrite entry, use the following syntax.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry <Identity> -Parameter <value>
This example modifies the ExternalAddress parameter.
importantImportant:
On a single address rewrite entry, the ExternalAddress parameter and the InternalAddress parameter both must either be an e-mail address or a domain. You can't mix the two types of values on a single address rewrite entry.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry "Contoso to Northwindtraders" -ExternalAddress northwindtraders.net
This example modifies the InternalAddress parameter.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry "Northwindtraders to Contoso" -InternalAddress northwindtraders.net
This example modifies the OutboundOnly parameter.
importantImportant:
You must use the OutboundOnly parameter when you configure address rewrite entries to rewrite multiple internal subdomains to a single external domain. If the OutboundOnly parameter is enabled on an address rewrite entry, Exchange 2010 doesn't rewrite inbound e-mail messages sent to the rewritten external domain that you specified.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry "Contoso to Northwindtraders" -OutboundOnly:$true
This example modifies the ExceptionList parameter.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry "Contoso to Northwindtraders" -ExceptionList sales.northwindtraders.net
noteNote:
If the ExceptionList property that the ExceptionList parameter modifies contains multiple values, be sure that you don't overwrite existing values when you add subdomains. For more information about how to add values to, and remove values from, the ExceptionList property, see Modifying Multivalued Properties.
This example modifies the Name parameter.
Set-AddressRewriteEntry "Contoso to Northwindtraders" -Name "Contoso to Woodgrove Bank"

Road types and names
From waze
(Redirected from Ramps)
Jump to: navigation, search
Around the world there are many local country standards for setting the road types and names. This page serves as the redirection point for each country's road naming conventions (listed alphabetically).
Navigation instructions for unnamed segments
When Waze gives navigation instructions to "turn", "exit", or "keep" onto an unnamed segment, it will look for a name it can use. If there is a named segment further along your route, it will use (inherit) that name in the instruction. Named segments connected to the unnamed segment which are not part of your provided route, are not relevant.
The inherited name is only used in the displayed and spoken instruction prompts, it does not affect the actual name of the segment.
This always works for Freeways and Ramps .
As of January 2015, on all other road types (any road type which is not a Freeway or Ramp), this feature only works if:
 1. The combined length of the consecutive unnamed segments is shorter than 400 meters (1,312 feet),
 2. There are 3 or fewer unnamed segments in a row.
To explain the above conditions from another perspective: If the consecutive unnamed segments measured together are longer than 400 m (1,312 ft), or if there are 4 or more unnamed segments in a row, Waze will NOT show or speak a name in the instructions.
For a more detailed explanation, including side effects and usage examples, please see the Expanded Navigation instructions for unnamed segments page.

SQ3 file extension - oml2-server database
What is sq3 file? How to open sq3 files?
File type specification:
Database file type icon Database file type
The sq3 file extension is used by oml2-server for its database files. A oml2-server (OML2 Server) is the daemon program for OML.
The OML2 Server seems to be obsolete product without support from developer, or producer.
The sq3 database format seems to be similar to SQLite.
This sq3 file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.
This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
Help how to open SQ3 files:
Try any SQLite database viewer to view content of *.sq3 files.
How to convert file with extension SQ3:
As far as we know, this .sq3 file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.

World Services for the Blind was founded in 1947 by Roy Kumpe to serve people who are blind and visually impaired who needed to learn independent living skills or job training skills that considered the special requirements of their individual visual impairments. The goal of the rehabilitation center then, and today, is to prepare the individual who is blind or visually impaired to function independently in our "sighted" society.
What we offer
- Life skills training, from learning Braille to mastering home management techniques, which give our clients independence.
- Career training in a number of vocational programs that empower graduates to thrive in today's high-tech workplace.
- Access for people 55 and older who are losing their sight to regain their independence through the Older Blind Program.
"Without World Services for the Blind, and the opportunity for employment that it offered, I would still be struggling against the current, and still unsure of my future."

How to spell PASGAT correctly?
If you meant to type "PASGAT" and it turned out wrong, there could be a couple of correct suggestions. One possibility is "PASGAT" being a typo for "PASSAT", a popular car model. Another suggestion could be "PASGT", which stands for "Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops", a type of military helmet. Double-check your intended word to avoid confusion.
List of suggestions on how to spell PASGAT correctly
- PAGAN My neighbor practices a pagan religion and celebrates traditional solstice rituals.
- PASCAL Pascal was a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to geometry and the development of probability theory.
- PASHA Pasha was renowned for his exquisite taste in art and fashion.
- PASHAS The pashas ruled over their vast territories with absolute authority.
- PAST I have learned from my past mistakes and will make better choices in the future.
- PASTA I am craving a big plate of pasta with homemade marinara sauce.
- PASTAS I love trying different types of pastas, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, and lasagna.
- PSAT I studied for hours to prepare for the PSAT exam, hoping to achieve a high score and qualify for National Merit Scholarships.

system with different solar radiation intensity. That velocity of the air in the system increases as we can see from the figure when solar radiation varies from 400 to 1000 W/m2 and the maximum velocity lies at chimney inlet. For the solar radiation intensity of 400,600 and 800W/m2, the maximum velocity inside the chimney is 13.2, 14.1 and 15.7m/s respectively.
 Fig. 5 Velocity distribution of SCPP with a) I=400 W/m2 and b) I=600W/m2 c) I=800W/m2 d) I=1000 W/m2 solar radiation intensity
 The maximum chimney inlet velocity without turbine is around 16.5 m/s as solar radiation intensity is 1000W/m2. So we can say that solar radiation plays a great role for the velocity of the flowing fluid by increasing the temperature under the collector which by turn increases the density difference by creating buoyancy force so that pressure difference is generated.
 Fig.6 Comparison of the Surface temperature profile of Soil and Gravel as thermal storage layer under the collector with radiation intensity 800 W/m2.
 The energy transfer mechanism inside the heat storage layer is highly influenced by the conductivity and capacity of flowing fluid on the heat storage layer. For the distribution of temperature inside the gravel is significantly affected by the mechanisms of radiation and convection; so there is a notable difference between Soil and Gravel as simulated above.
A Numerical computation has been performed on the commercially available finite volume code, Ansys Fluent. The effects of thermal storage have been incorporated in the model. The computed performance of SCPP with Soil, Water, and Gravel as a thermal storage show that the water as a thermal storage reduces the fluctuation of the power over a period of 24 hrs. For same radiation intensity, the surface temperature of gravel is found higher which generates the higher velocity of air inside the chimney which generates more output power. Thus, the use of thermal storage enhances the performance of SCPP and avails power for 24 hrs.

A remote mountain forest provides important habitat for wildlife.
Overview
Description
Boundary Mountains Preserve is an important link in a large swath of contiguous forest located adjacent to over 22,000 acres of public lands in Quebec. The preserve extends a corridor of permanently conserved lands northward to a total of over 260,000 acres, representing a key link in a major pathway of ecological connection from the White Mountains in New Hampshire through the western Maine Mountains and Quebec borderlands and beyond.
The preserve includes a healthy, mature mountain forest, featuring 3,648-foot Caribou Mountain, 3,333-foot Merrill Mountain, and a dozen other peaks over 2,700 feet in elevation. It is important headwater habitat for the Kennebec River as well as headwater streams that feed into the nearby Moose River, providing great habitat for wild brook trout.
The preserve is managed as an ecological reserve, where the forest is shaped by natural processes such as wind, ice, and other weather events. Beyond providing valuable wildlife habitat, ecological reserves are important to scientists studying the growth of forests and how they respond, in the absence of timber harvesting, to challenges such as climate change, forest pests, diseases, and airborne pollution. Maintaining the carbon stored in this mature forest and providing opportunity for trees to continue pulling carbon from the atmosphere also benefits the climate.
This preserve is very remote and difficult to reach. Safe travel to and within the preserve requires high vehicle clearance, good tires, including spares, and the ability to repair your vehicle without help. There is no cell phone coverage and no facilities.

Biodiversity at the Boundary
By Kira Bennett Hamilton
Hobblebush (Vibernum lantanoides) was the first new plant I learned to identify in the Boundary Mountains Preserve. The aptly named shrub grows in vast, curving thickets throughout the woods in the Northeast and Canada. Hobblebush branches easily interlock and occasionally curve down to the ground and re-root in moist soil, forming hoops and tangles ideally suited to trip up hikers like us.
Though the late August day was hot and humid, some of the hobblebush foliage was already darkening to mottled autumnal purple as my colleagues and I pushed our way up the steep slope of Merrill Mountain in western Maine. At 3,333 feet in elevation, Merrill Mountain does attract some peak baggers, but it's not an easy day trip—it requires a long drive on private logging roads to access, and there's no trail to the top.
But that remoteness was exactly what appealed to us. My colleagues at The Nature Conservancy in Maine and I were on a "bioblitz" expedition to our newest preserve to conduct an ecological inventory of all the plants, animals, mosses, mushrooms, butterflies, and fish we could identify. Nancy Sferra, our director of land management, would use that species list to develop a management plan for the preserve, as certified land trusts must do for all the land we care for. Our ecological inventory would also serve as a baseline for the preserve, so over the years and decades to come we can observe how climate change, pollution, invasive insects, and other influences shape the natural communities in the Boundary Mountains.
Helping the Experts
Sferra, our senior conservation scientist Joshua Royte, and our stewardship field assistant Nate Reed have many decades of naturalist experience between them, and they chatted excitedly about the ferns and mosses underfoot as we walked. As a fundraising staffer with little field experience, I was tagging along on the bioblitz to take photos, write stories, and maybe help carry equipment. Sferra had suggested early in the trip that I could help out with taking notes, but even that proved a challenge—she and Royte bandied around common and Latin names of species so quickly that my unfamiliar ears could barely keep up.
"Nice ostrich fern over there."
"Check out that Euphrasia americana.
"Have you documented gem-studded puffballs yet?"
"Wow, I think that's the biggest balsam poplar I've ever seen."
We picked our way gingerly over a steep talus slope covered in loose rocks, looking for bundled leaves, fur or scat that might indicate the presence of a rare rock vole nest or bat hiding place. Seeing none, we paused to have lunch and admire the sweeping view over the mountainous, forested landscape. Reed checked our GPS to confirm our location and pointed out peaks: Merrill Mountain, 3,648-foot Caribou Mountain, and a dozen other peaks over 2,700 feet high are all located on the preserve's 9,608 acres.
Connected, diverse ecosystems are more resilient to climate change.
Director of Land Management
Boundary Mountains Preserve is an important link in a large swath of contiguous forest that stretches over more than 260,000 acres from the White Mountains in New Hampshire through the western Maine mountains to the Quebec borderlands, and beyond. Its cold, clear headwater streams feed into the Kennebec River via the Moose River and Moosehead Lake. These lands were long stewarded by the Abenaki people and retain cultural significance for them still. Today, the Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Indian Nation care for nearby Trust lands.
"This preserve is valuable because it's connected to other large tracts of forest," Nancy Sferra explains. "Connected, diverse ecosystems are more resilient to climate change."
Connected and Resilient
The preserve is part of a larger strategy by TNC to mitigate the causes of climate change through conservation and make our landscape more adaptable to whatever the future holds. Wildlife species in North America are shifting their ranges an average of 11 miles north and 36 feet upward in elevation each decade. Many species are approaching–or have already reached–the limit of where they can go to find hospitable climates. Research by TNC and partners also shows that nearly 60 percent of U.S. lands and waters are fragmented by human development, preventing species from moving naturally to find new and more hospitable habitat.
Maintaining the carbon stored in mature forest and providing the opportunity for trees to continue pulling carbon from the atmosphere mitigates climate change.
TNC is managing the forest as an ecological reserve, where the forest is shaped by natural processes such as wind, ice, and other weather events. Beyond providing valuable wildlife habitat, ecological reserves are important to scientists studying the growth of forests and how they respond, in the absence of timber harvesting, to challenges such as climate change, forest pests, diseases, and airborne pollution. This bioblitz is one way to add to that understanding.
After finishing lunch among the rocks, it was time to head uphill again—and back into the hobblebush—on the way to the summit of Merrill Mountain.
"It's important we protect the range of natural areas in all their expressions around Maine," Royte explained, "from the streams and wetlands in the valleys to the tops of mountains, and the many habitats in between."
On one rocky hillside, Royte and Sferra dropped their packs in excitement to confer over a field guide.
"Look over there, near the intermediate ferns—the one with the bronze scales, that's Braun's holly fern."
"That's really uncommon in Maine, and critically imperiled in other states. When you do see it, it's often with some Maine-listed rare plants"
"Keep your eyes out for other rare plants nearby."
By the end of the bioblitz, the team had identified over 150 plant species, found scat and tracks from moose, deer, and bear, heard a scattering of late-summer birdsong, and documented a robust population of native brook trout in Number One Brook. But there's always more to do.
"In reality, we're really just scratching the surface here," says Sferra. "Given our small team and limited time, there are still a lot of holes in our knowledge."
Before You Visit
There are no trails or facilities at the preserve. Camping and pets are not permitted to protect the natural processes and habits of wildlife. The preserve can be accessed via private seasonal logging roads, however safe travel requires high vehicle clearance, good tires, including spares, and the ability to repair your vehicle without help. There is no cell phone coverage and no facilities.

Two Duluth Area Lakes Added To Troubled Water List After Finding Forever Chemicals
Two popular Duluth area lakes have been added to the growing list of troubled waters in Minnesota. These lakes a long with a handful of others are the first to appear on the list outside of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.
Lakes are tested every two years under the Clean Water Act. If the lakes don't meet water quality standards, they are added to the list of troubled waters. A plan then must be created to clean up the bodies of water. The 2022 list has 305 additional bodies of water added that don't meet water quality standards. The cumulative list has grown now to 2,904 bodies of water.
Locally, Fish Lake Flowage and Wild Rice Lake have been added to the list after PFAS were found. These are considered "forever chemicals" that don't break down in the environment. The chemicals are used in industrial applications and also in consumer products such as non stick cookware, some fabrics, and packaging.
According to an MPR article, there are many ways that the chemicals get into lakes. In the Duluth Area, it could be from firefighting foam used for training at the Duluth International Airport. The airport is near both of the lakes added to the list. In fact, you can see the airport from Rice Lake.
There could be limits on fish consumption recommended for lakes that don't meet water quality standards. PFAS chemicals can lead to health problems, and could lead to lower birth weights in infants if mothers consume fish from these lakes. Currently there are no recommendations for limiting fish consumption on Fish Lake Flowage or Wild Rice Lake.
There is some hope though. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is recommending 100 bodies of water to be removed from the list. These lakes have successfully been cleaned up to meet water quality standards. So if a plan is in place, there is proof that we can reverse some of the pollution and damage.

Challenging traditional assumptions of secondary science through the PET curriculum Documents
Michael J. Ross and
Valerie K. Otero
This study seeks to illustrate aspects of a physics classroom experience in an underserved high school through the perspective of the students. This context was chosen with the intent of determining factors that lead to successful secondary physics education outcomes for populations historically underrepresented in STEM. Two class periods of physics were observed and interviewed in an urban high school while using the Physics and Everyday Thinking (PET) curriculum. Findings indicate that students came to value and positively identify with the activities of physics through instruction that fosters a more dignified student experience than traditional approaches. Specifically, this experience was characterized by the valuing of students' naïve and developing understandings and shifting the authority for validating science knowledge from the instructor to laboratory evidence and social consensus.

When subscribing to a product, the core problem to solve is that of granting the subscriber permission to use nodes created by the product publisher. For good reason, Metrici does not allow a user from one account to permit a user from another account to access their nodes, other than as an anonymous user. A special approach is therefore required for a publisher to make their product available to a subscriber.
Product publication utilitises a special feature in the permissions in which anyone can grant permissions to their account authority, i.e. the user who created their account (or, precisely, the user who is the owner of their account node), and the account authority can in turn grant those permissions on to other users that they have created. Specifically, the publisher grants the node-grant-use permission to the account authority, which permits the account authority to grant read and link type permissions (node-read, node-read-member, node-read-all-members, node-use-type, node-link, node-use-draft, package-read, package-read-all-members, package-link, package-use-draft, node-grant-use), but not update, package use or administration permissions.
Identifying what permissions are required and granting them to the account authority is complicated, and is looked after by instances of Product, which are generated by instances of Product Builder. The salient parts of this are:
- The publisher lists packages that contain the nodes that make up the product in the Package List member type.
- From this, the derivation script in Interpret Product Descriptor creates a manifest in Offer Manifest Items that describes the permissions that the subscribers to the product need.
- From this, the derivation script in Grant Publish creates a standard permission manifest in Manifest Items that describes the permissions that the account authority needs in order to grant permissions to the subscriber, and then gives the account authority permission to use the manifest and also to access the product node. This means that the account authority now has authority to grant permissions on the product nodes.
- Product installation is carried out by executing a method on the subscriber's account. This creates a subscription node with is an instance of Subscription.
- The subscription node links back to the product using the Product member type, and uses the Derive Subscription Manifest derivation to create a standard Manifest Items manifest from the Offer Manifest Items from the product.
- The account authority grants node-use-manifest on the subscription node to the subscriber's primary user group and node-grant-use-manifest to the subscriber. This means that any of the primary users in the subscriber's account can use the product, and that the subscriber can grant permissions to other user groups also. (Question - why not let all of the primary users grant use of the manifest?)
The permissions are all granted using manifests, and the manifests are all created using derivation. The permissions that the subscriber has can therefore be updated by the publisher, for example when a new version of the product is released.
The approach above dictates the core structure of product packaging, subscription and installation. It involves instances of the following:
- Product Builder which is used to describe the product.
- Product which is generated from the product builder, and which is used as the basis for installation.
- Subscription which is created by the account authority and is used to grant permission on the product to the subscriber.
As well as their core role in managing permissions, these types are used to manage other aspects of product packaging, subscription and installation. They are examined in more detail in the following sections.


Execute & Callback Anatomy
Curriculum Navigator:
If you're viewing this page from the TouchDesigner curriculum explorer, you can use the buttons below to interact with this topic.
Overview:
Execute DATs (any of the DATs that has the word "Execute" in it) and "callbacks" (which are Text DATs with python code in them) have several similar structural elements. For example, the CHOP Execute DAT has a parameter to indicate which CHOP it is watching, a parameter to indicate which channels it is watching, and then several toggles for which behavior should trigger a Python function.
The text in the body of the DAT are Python functions that start with the keyword def (definition) followed by the function name. In the CHOP Execute DAT you'll see definitions for each of the corresponding toggles in the DAT's parameters. We can then write Python code in the CHOP Execute DAT that will run based on which conditions are met.
Callbacks are represented by a docked DAT (small purple box with a +) at the bottom of an operator. Callbacks typically have a set of functions that run based on the conditions that are described in the DAT.

We have used our capacity for flight to change how our world works – our dependence on getting from nation to nation rapidly and affordably has created a mass market of air travel, made up of 30,000 daily flights across European airspace alone.
This visualisation shows the sheer scale and volume of our air travel across just one normal day in July – tracing the intricate patterns of invisible but precise infrastructure that criss-cross our skies. The creators designed it to demonstrate that flight is the 'lifeblood of our island economy' – the day sampled saw an incredible 5,675 flights arrive or depart UK airports.
The quality of the visualisation is remarkable - between the regimented patterns of commercial flights, look out for the odd amateur doing loops of local airports, or the military jets on manoeuvres above Anglesey.
By condensing a 24 hour period into a two minute animation, the infographic uses speed to its advantage – the rapidity of the data presentation helps to affirm that flight is indeed an integral part of our day-to-day international environment.

So, let's follow few step to create lesson of how to make inner join in laravel 6, laravel 7 and laravel 8.
If you are new in laravel and you don't know how to write join in laravel application, then i will help you how to make inner join in laravel application. you can easily use inner join in laravel 6 and laravel 7 version.
Inner join is a main part of project. we almost require inner join everywhere in project because of related table.
In this lesson i will create users table and countries table. i will add country_id on users table and add countries table id on users table. so when i get users at that time we will get country name from country_id using inner join.
So, let's see bellow lesson:
Example:
users Table:
countries Table:
SQL Query:
select 'users'.'id', 'users'.'name', 'users'.'email', 'countries'.'name' as 'country_name'
from 'users'
inner join 'countries' on 'countries'.'id' = 'users'.'country_id'
Laravel Query:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$users = User::select(
"users.id",
"users.name",
"users.email",
"countries.name as country_name"
)
->join("countries", "countries.id", "=", "users.country_id")
->get();
dd($users);
}
}
Result:-
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Prof. Josiane Jast MD
[email] => _EMAIL_
[country_name] => IN
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Mr. Donavon Beer
[email] => _EMAIL_
[country_name] => US
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[name] => Judy Watsica
[email] => _EMAIL_
[country_name] => CA
)
)
Now i will give you best way to use inner join and get country name using Laravel Eloquent Relationship:
Example: Using Relationship
You have to create following models and controller method:
app/User.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
/**
* Get the comments for the blog post.
*/
public function country()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Country::class);
}
}
app/Country.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Country extends Model
{
}
Laravel Query:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$users = User::select("*")
->with('country')
->take(3)
->get();
foreach ($users as $key => $value) {
echo $value->id;
echo $value->name;
echo $value->country->name;
}
dd($users);
}
}
thank you very much for following up with me.

- Several physiological and metabolic changes are triggered in broilers submitted to high environmental temperatures, resulting in performance losses. Feed formulation manipulation of the dietary electrolyte balance may be applied to reduce the negative impact of heat stress on broiler performance. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of the manipulations of dietary electrolytes by combining changes in the electrolyte (Na++K+–Cl- ) balance (EB) and in the [(K++Cl- )/Na+] ratio (ER) in broiler feeds. In total, 1575 male broilers between 21 and 46 days old were allotted to 15 treatments in a 5x3 factorial arrangement, consisting of five diets with different EB/ER combinations (150/3, 250/2, 250/3, 250/4, and 350/3). Birds were submitted to heat stress at 25 or 35 days old. Live performance, mortality rate, and carcass traits were evaluated. The strategic formulation of diets with different EB and ER improves live performance and minimize the effect of heat stress on broilers. Under thermoneutral conditions, an EB of 250 mEq/kg and an ER of 3 are recommended, whereas under heat stress, and EB of 350 mEq/kg and an ER of 3 should be applied.

The Amos Block was built on the site of the Empire State Mills Building in 1878,
and may have incorporated the remains of that earlier property. Immediately
adjacent to the Amos Block were warehouses, wholesale establishments, and light
manufacturing companies, while space in the building itself was allocated for
wholesale grocery businesses at street level, and storage on the upper stories.
Steam packets loaded and unloaded freight on the canal side, while the elaborate
Romanesque facade on West Water Street enticed passersby to patronize the
wholesale grocery businesses inside.
Jacob Amos, whose surname appears on the parapets of the building, served
as mayor of Syracuse for two terms (_PHONE_). During that time he
concerned himself with improving the appearance of the city. The
installation of sewer systems, street paving, and the completion of
Syracuse City Hall were among his principle accomplishments. Jacob Amos
was also a businessman. Aside from owning and renting out space in the
Amos Building, he also owned a flour mill, a portion of which survives
today on Walton Street, south of the Amos Block.
The Amos Block was
J. Lyman Silsbee, a prominent Syracuse architect who also designed the
Syracuse Savings Bank and the White Memorial building. In the Amos
Building, Silsbee abandoned the Gothic for the Romanesque. The Amos Block
is the only known Romanesque structure in Syracuse designed by Silsbee.
Following his work here, Silsbee moved to Chicago, where he worked with
Frank Lloyd Wright, and specialized in designing residential buildings in
the shingle style.
The commercial structure, with its distinctive Romanesque facade, was
sited next to the old Erie Canal where it became an important component of
the developing downtown business district during the last quarter of the
nineteenth century. The block, which measures approximately 55 feet by 145
feet, is comprised of a full basement and four stories with an additional
half-story is located above the center portion. The seven separate street
level bays are most easily delineated on the West Water Street or southern
elevation. The six westernmost comprise a single homogeneous architectural
unit commonly known as the Amos Building. Silsbee designed the facade in
1878, incorporating an earlier, smaller structure. In the process, he
added a half-story to the two center bays, erected the two western bays,
and altered the roof line of the two eastern bays. The easternmost portion
of the block, which is detailed somewhat differently than the main block,
dates to about 1910, and exhibits narrow rectangular openings and a
cast-iron front on the first story.
The exterior of the first story has early twentieth-century rusticated
concrete block facing while the second, third and fourth stories exhibit a
variety of Romanesque style openings in different groupings accented by
variations in surface texture, with brick corbelling at the cornice line.
The two center bays rise to a parapet gable, effecting an interesting
verticality to the otherwise horizontal orientation of the building. The
east and west elevations are plain brick bearing walls. Adjoining
buildings on either side have been demolished in recent years. The north
facade – which more people drive by today -- is also
plain because the elevation faced the canal.
In the 1970s this old
commercial block, then empty and dilapidated, was scheduled for demolition
as part of the Chandler Plan – the name for the doomed project that would
have turned much of Clinton square into the urban version of a highway
interchange. The Amos Block was saved, and it is now listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. In recent years it was best known as
the home of Syracuse Suds – the most visible of the city's recent
breweries. In 1999, Syracuse Subs moved nearby to the former Neal & Hyde
building on Franklin Street, and now the Amos Block sits empty once again.
The Syracuse Downtown Committee and others are working hard to find a new
use for the building.

What is a Well Fed Ohana?
A Well Fed Ohana (family) eats from the aina (living earth) they have been given to malama (nurture/take care of).
This roots us in the life of the land and gives us physical vitality and spiritual connection with the Creator and the creation.
A Well Fed Ohana fears not
When the price of food goes up or becomes scarce or even cut-off by natural and human disasters the Well Fed Ohana can feed itself. This is the essence of Food Sovereignity.
Eating a diet based on the food grown by Hawaiian's for centuries preserves the health of the ohana. Studies have shown that this diet reduces such diseases as diabetes, stroke and heart attack.
A Well Fed Ohana eats from the aina
Food that an ohana plants, tends , harvests and eats connects us to the living earth, the aina.
This is not farming for the community - the role of the mahi'ai - it is growing with and for the ohana - yet when many ohana's grow their own food they naturally share from the abundance that springs from the aina and this strengthens the whole community.

How to use Derived Sketch in SolidWorks?
In design engineering, the design cam across various designs is complex and needs the same geometry but at different locations. In order to design that geometry, the designer has to design the sketch individually. This consumes a lot of time in recreating the same design, sketch, or geometry but at different locations.
So, in order to reduce the requirement to make those multiple designs, Solidworks has an open option that does this task. The option available is the Derived sketch option. This option lets the designer make a copy of the profile he is planning to design. This profile/sketch is derived from the previously create sketches. This sketch is recreated on the plane or face of the parallel and coincident with the location where needed.
The sketch created can be relocated and proper constraints can be applied to make the sketch fix. The main advantage of this feature is that the sketch is automatically updated. When any change or modification is been made in the parent sketch that is applied in all the sketches.

Deriving Sketch in SolidWorks
There are two main things we have to remember while deriving the sketches. Select sketch and face before selecting the derive sketch option.
Select the sketch from the design tree and select the face on which you want to derive the sketch. Go to Insert and click on Derived Sketch.
You see one sketch make parallel to the selected face. Now you can drag it and place it where needed. Make the constraints so that the sketch doesn't move. Then you can apply the feature command required like, Extrude, Cut-Extrude, etc.
You cannot make changes in the derive sketches. As they are the exact replica or copy of the parent sketch. In order to make changes in this sketch, you have to make them in the parent sketch.
See also How to make a spring in SolidWorks?
However, If you want to derive the sketch and make small modifications to it then you can another option. The other option is to copy and paste the sketch. In this method, the sketch is not linked to the parent sketches and you can make the modifications in this.
Copy sketch
To copy the sketch you have to select the sketch from the design tree then hold and press Ctrl+C to copy. You can also copy by going to Edit and selecting the copy from there. After coping the sketch the sketch is copied to the clipboard. Now select the plane or face right click and select sketch to get into sketch mode and then paste the sketch. You can paste the sketch in two ways by holding and clicking Ctrl+V or going to Edit and then clicking on the paste.
See also How to make a subassembly flexible in SolidWorks?
This way you make use of the derived sketch feature and apply the command on various faces or planes. You can modify it if you want to rotate or change the constraints.
This feature is very useful if you have a large design that requires the same profile or geometry in a different location. It defiantly saves time if you want to make modifications. Any change in parent sketches will be updated in child sketches as well.

Wolaytta is a North Omotic language spoken in the Wolaita Zone and some other parts of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region of Ethiopia by between 1.6 and 2 million people. The language is also known as Borodda, Ometo, Ualamo, Uba, Uollamo, Walamo, Wallamo, Welamo, Wellamo, Wolaita, Wolaitta, Wolataita, Wolayta and Wollamo.
Wolaytta was first written in the 1940s by a team of missionaries led by Dr. Bruce Adams. They translated the Bible into Wolaytta, finishing it in 2002. Other publications, including textbooks, have been published in Wolaytta.
This is Wakasa's practical alphabet used in Motomichi Wakasa's 2008 Ph.D. thesis, A Descriptive Study of the Modern Wolaytta Language.
The sound written nh, a nasalized glottal fricative, is very rare and only appears in a few words. The sound written D is said by some scholars to be an implosive, but Wakasa calls it glottalized.

There's an interesting article in Wikipedia; here's the first paragraph:
The Mourne Wall is a wall which was constructed to enclose a reservoir's catchment area in the Mourne MountainsNorthern Ireland. It was built between 1904 and 1922 by the Belfast Water Commissioners to enclose the water catchment in the Mournes.


Blanket swings: vestibular input and opportunities for communication
Blanket swing for vestibular input
During music therapy we love finding ways to increase vestibular and proprioceptive input. One simple way to increase vestibular input during a session is by using a blanket as a swing. I typically use a sheet folded over in half. The child lays on the sheet and two adults lift it between them creating a cocoon-like hammock with the child inside (blanket open at the top). This also provides the child with a break from visual stimuli and can dampen auditory stimuli.
Our vestibular system is our sense of movement and balance. Blanket swinging is a simple and effective way of providing this input and helping a child with autism to regulate. Swing the blanket side to side and forward and backward. This is also a great time to work on communication such as requesting "more," "go," and "up".
A song provides structure to the activity, prompts language and helps children to know when the blanket swing will start and stop.

Sustainable production levels are the key to long-term growth; smart mine management requires balancing your resource base with mine output.
Producers are often asked by investors about the work being done to increase production — the idea being that the more product is sold the greater the profits. However, the decision to increase production must be measured, with a bigger focus on extending mine life.
Ramping up output can involve mill expansion, equipment and storage capacity upgrades as well as more labor, power and water — all of which cost money. Raising production quickly can place too much pressure on the system, which is also a safety concern.
An enhanced production profile may lead to increased profits in the short term, but to really maximize shareholder value over the long term, smart management looks to sustainable production levels, which are key to a higher stock valuation. You don't want to make the mistake of allowing production to outrun your ability to resupply your mill, or you will significantly reduce mine life.
Sustainable production levels contribute to extending mine life
"There are larger issues around sustaining your mine. From the day your mine opens, you are eating your resource," says John Barry, an economic geologist with decades of experience and the founder of Irus Consulting. "The production rate should be balanced with respect to the size of the reserve/resource inventory to provide at least a medium-term life of mine. If you mine at a faster rate than you replace reserves, then you will simply shorten the life of mine."
Barry gives an example of a mine with a resource base comprised of 200,000 tonnes of ore. If mined at 50,000 tonnes per year, the mine life will equal approximately four years. "This gives you four years of 'runway' for your near-mine exploration and resource building," he explained. "Mining at 100,000 tonnes per year will only give you a two-year life of mine based on the same reserve. Given the time value of money, this clearly is not extracting the best value from your orebody. Yes, it is about profitability, but also about safety, balance and sustainability."
Sustainable production can be achieved through cost-effective resource expansion, resulting in a longer mine life and extended profitability. "You must build the inventory to balance with the rate of depletion, or you will shorten the life of mine and potentially leave good ore in the ground," added Barry.
When should a producer increase production? The optimal time to increase production is when the mineable resource is large enough to support the operation. Usually the guidelines for when to ramp up output are laid out in the company's mine plan — either internally or as part of a NI 43-101 preliminary economic report or feasibility study that has outlined the most optimal production guidelines for enhancing the economic value of the output over the life of the mine.
Sustainable growth through exploration and development
Sustaining current levels and maintaining profits over the long term require growing your resource base. This is achieved through further development of the deposit and ongoing exploration near the deposit.
The life of a mining operation is often partitioned into linear stages, with exploration, development and production being the three major phases. However, to think of each of these activities as separate from and leading into the next does not adequately represent the true nature of a mining operation. Exploration and development do not end once production begins.
Exploration and development activities are essential for growing a mineable resource base and sustaining production to keep the mill running at full capacity, while also extending mine life. Development work allows miners to reach previously inaccessible bodies of ore and convert resources into reserves. "How fast you mine depends on the availability of exposed 'faces' underground — the surfaces where the workings meet the orebody," says Barry. "Increases in production require more faces, and that requires more underground development to access new parts of the orebody."
New advanced exploration technologies and sophisticated analytical techniques are making it possible to refresh the resource base through new discoveries.
"We believe that consistent investment in exploration is essential in maintaining a healthy project pipeline; therefore core to our growth strategy and a key element in extending mine life," states major precious metals producer Fresnillo (LSE:FRES). "We routinely apply advanced geospatial, geochemical and geophysical technologies such as tomographic imaging, high resolution satellite imagery, airborne and core hyperspectral technologies, and hand-held and down-hole instruments as an aid to improving the geologic interpretations that guide exploratory drilling leading to ore discovery."
To build out the resource at a given mine site, producers focus their exploration efforts on three areas: in mine, near mine and regional. In-mine work generally includes development work designed to gain further access to economical orebodies, as well as geological modeling and definition drilling to extend the known mineral resources. Typically only proven and probable reserves, as well as measured and indicated resources, are included in the mine plan, so the mineable resource base can be increased further by upgrading inferred resources to the measured and indicated categories.
In the zones near the mine, a company will focus on drill testing priority targets with the goal of delineating satellite resources to further expand the mine plan — which down the road could lead to increased production and an extended mine life. If the geological evidence warrants it, a company may also decide to conduct more grassroots exploration further afield using geophysical exploration techniques to determine potential drill targets.
Type of deposit can impact resource expansion
Deposit type can become a factor in cost and the ability to grow a resource base and extending mine life. For example, copper porphyry deposits are famous for their large tonnage, high production rates and ease of mining. Within porphyry systems the copper mineralization can extend vertically for several kilometers beyond the main base of the open pit — often translating into a decades-long mine life.
The geological nature of the copper porphyry model also offers up a lot of exploration potential. This type of deposit is associated with alteration halos that are much larger than the deposit itself and can cover tens of square kilometers. The large scale of the mineralized system also lends itself to the formation of other types of deposits within the same area, including high-sulfidation epithermal gold–silver-copper deposits — increasing discovery opportunities and improving the economics of the mine plan.
Conversely, the irregular geology and high grade variability of narrow-vein epithermal gold deposits, which account for a large percentage of global gold production, can pose challenges for extraction and proper mine planning.
"It is typical for some epithermal gold mines to source as little as 65 per cent of their annual production from mining areas identified in long-term plans," according to a research paper by the Australian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy. "The balance is made up of targets of opportunity identified unexpectedly or from mining areas brought forward in the schedule at short notice because planned areas proved to be untenable. Technical teams with the resources to undertake constant and rapid reinterpretation, redesign and rescheduling are required to successfully manage most epithermal deposits."
Carbonate replacement deposits (CRDs), while extremely resource rich, can also pose a challenge. Barry leads the geological team for Pasinex Resources (CSE:PSE,FWB:PNX), which controls 50 percent of the high-grade Pinargozu zinc mine in Turkey. Pinargozu is a CRD located in Turkey's underexplored Adana CRD Belt, with similar geology to skarn-type deposits and characterized mainly by irregular geometry — making exploration a challenge much in the same way as an epithermal gold deposit.
"The geometry of the orebody is complex, and there are sharp cut offs between high grade and waste," says Barry. "Even with high-density drilling from underground, rich pockets of mineralization are easily missed. It's very inefficient to drill from surface because of the rugged terrain of the Taurus Mountains and depth to target zone. Getting the best places to drill underground is really only a by-product of production development, and so we are often drilling from awkward locations underground because of the geometry of the orebodies."
Barry says Pasinex's geological team is addressing this challenge by planning underground drives specifically designed to get into the best positions to drill the deeper parts of the mineralizing system. "This specifically targeted underground development for exploration drilling requires the extra deployment of dedicated equipment and personnel. This is what is needed to increase the resource/reserve base, which gives the flexibility to increase mine production."
On the plus side, CRD deposits can be large in scale, and mineralization can extend for long distances. The world's most recognized CRD belt is Mexico's Chihuahua Trough, which is known for high-grade CRD deposits. The belt is home to Excellon Resources' (TSX:EXN) high-grade Platoso silver-lead-zinc mine, which is comparable to Pinargozu. Production began at Platoso in 2009 with a mine life of two years. In 2017, the mined orebody, which consists of flatter lying zones and chimneys, continues at depth and is expected to produce beyond 2019 — giving it a real mine life of more than 10 years.
The Pinargozu deposit "consists of chimneys and mantos, long arms of zinc mineralization," explains Steve Williams, president and CEO of Pasinex. "We are mining the end of one of those arms, of what we hope for is a long arm of zinc mineralization. We are continuing to follow that arm, those chimneys and mantos with our exploration, as well as doing development to open up more production in the mine. We're also doing development so we can open up more underground drill pads and continue to drill deeper and deeper to open up more production in the mine. Our second priority is to continue to grow the resource as

Why are there so few hurricanes every year?
We are about five weeks away from the climatological peak of the hurricane season, which stretches from early June to November.
During that period, even in a particularly active year, not many hurricanes actually develop. Forming over tropical oceans ensures that warm sea-surface temperature (SST) provides a mature hurricane with a means to warm and moisten the air that flows toward the important eye-wall convection. Thus, it is not surprising that hurricanes struggle to develop if the SST is not 79.7 degrees or warmer. Continue reading
