AC circuits pose a double threat. First of all, acoustic data can be leaked through the AC circuit (230 V). And secondly, there is a threat of information signals leak from office equipment.
There exist passive and active techniques for AC (220 V) protection against unauthorized data retrieval.
Passive 220 V circuits protection implies using anti-interference line filters. Such filters weaken any signals in the frequency band of 0.01-1,000 MHz with the efficiency of at least 60 dB and, thus, do not let the information signals generated in office equipment get through. Besides, a correctly installed filter also protects office equipment from the harmful effect of external interference. It's worth mentioning that efficient operation of anti-interference filters requires high-quality grounding.
Active AC circuits (220 V) protection techniques imply generation of a noise signal exceeding the information signals and signals of information retrieval devices in level by special generators. Such noise signals are supplied to the 220 V circuit and to the ground circuit. These generators produce noise for 220 V circuits and ground circuits.
Active AC circuits (220 V) protection Is an information security device that is designed to actively protect informatization equipment against information leaks through the power grid and ground system. The Product provides protection against data leaks through the 220 V single-phase three-wire power grid with the frequency of 50 Hz by generating broadband noise interference in all the masking interference conductors in power supply and ground circuits in the frequency band of 0.01 – 1,800 MHz.

,the aspheric surface must be quickly modified, high precision testing is the basement of rapid convergence of the surface error . There many methods on aspheric surface detection, Geometric ray detection, hartmann detection, ronchi text, knifeedge method, direct profile test, interferometry, while all of them have their disadvantage. In recent years，the measure of the aspheric surface become one of the import factors which are restricting the aspheric surface processing development. A two meter caliber industrial CMM（coordinate measuring machine） is avaiable, but it has many drawbacks such as large detection error and low repeatability precision in the measurement of aspheric surface coarse grinding , which seriously affects the convergence efficiency during the aspherical mirror processing. To solve those problems, this paper presents an effective error control, calibration and removal method by calibration mirror position of the real-time monitoring and other effective means of error control, calibration and removal by probe correction and the measurement mode selection method to measure the point distribution program development. This method verified by real engineer examples, this method increases the original industrial-grade coordinate system nominal measurement accuracy PV value of 7 microns to 4microns, Which effectively improves the grinding efficiency of aspheric mirrors and verifies the correctness of the method. This paper also investigates the error detection and operation control method, the error calibration of the CMM and the random error calibration of the CMM .
With the increase of the diameter of the silicon carbide (SiC) mirror, the amount of material removed increases dramatically. The SiC material has the characteristics of high hardness and chemical stability, so the higher requirement of the convergence efficiency is put forward. The current SiC mirror processing is carried out through a series of different processes or parameters. The combined processing converge the surface residual error. But this method relies on the experience of personnel experience to determine the transfer conditions of process sequencing. This paper research on improve the convergence efficiency at the same time ensuring the accuracy of processing. The quantified evaluation function is put forward to help estimating the transfer conditions of process sequencing. On this basis, the multi-process combination calculation is carried out. The dwell time of multiple remove functions is solved at the same time in the optimization process. The combination of large and small removal function is optimized. Combined with the simulation calculation, the optimized process of large diameter silicon carbide mirror is given.
Signal noise ratio analysis and on-orbit performance estimation of a solar occultation Fourier transform spectrometer
Taking the advantages of high spectral resolution, high sensitivity and wide spectral coverage, space borne Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTS) plays more and more important role in atmospheric composition sounding. The combination of solar occultation and FTS technique improves the sensitivity of instrument. To achieve both high spectral resolution and high signal to noise ratio (SNR), reasonable allocation and optimization for instrument parameters are the foundation and difficulty. The solar occultation FTS (SOFTS) is a high spectral resolution (0.03 cm-1) FTS operating from 2.4 to 13.3 μm (750-4100cm-1), which will determine the altitude profile information of typical 10-100km for temperature, pressure, and the volume mixing ratios for several dozens of atmospheric compositions. As key performance of SOFTS, SNR is crucially important to high accuracy retrieval of atmospheric composition, which is required to be no less than 100:1 at the radiance of 5800K blackbody. Based on the study of various parameters and its interacting principle, according to interference theory and operation principle of time modulated FTS, a simulation model of FTS SNR has been built, which considers satellite orbit, spectral radiometric features of sun and atmospheric composition, optical system, interferometer and its control system, measurement duration, detector sensitivity, noise of detector and electronic system and so on. According to the testing results of SNR at the illuminating of 1000 blackbody, the on-orbit SNR performance of SOFTS is estimated, which can meet the mission requirement.
The number of space debris has been increasing dramatically in the last few years, and is expected to increase as much in the future. As the orbital debris population grows, the risk of collision between debris and other orbital objects also grows. Therefore, space debris detection is a particularly important task for space environment security, and then supports for space debris modeling, protection and mitigation. This paper aims to review space debris detection systematically and completely. Firstly, the research status of space debris detection at home and abroad is presented. Then, three kinds of optical observation methods of space debris are summarized. Finally, we propose a space-based detection scheme for space debris by photometric and polarimetric characteristics.
The optical system of lunar rover navigation camera has a direct influence on imaging quality, and an indirect influence on the programming of march forward of lunar rover. One type of lunar rover navigation camera optical system with the symmetrical structure was introduced. It also set up the suitable position of stop to achieve the relative distortion lower than 0.053 percent under the 60 degrees wide field-of-view. It applied the hyperfocal distance principle to achieve the clear imaging from 0.5 meter to infinity. The modulation transfer function is close to diffraction limit at the Nyquist frequency (at standard object distance). Considering the complicate environment of lunar surface and the demand of exploration, it selected the appropriate work spectral coverage and was cooperated by the irradiation reinforce. As a result, it can bear 1×104 Rad (Si) space irradiation and is capable of keeping working normally in the severe environment with its temperature varying from -60°C to + 90°C.
Variable curvature mirror (VCM) can change its curvature radius dynamically and is usually used to correct the defocus and spherical aberration caused by thermal lens effect to improve the output beam quality of high power solid-state laser. Recently, the probable application of VCM in realizing non-moving element optical zoom imaging in visible band has been paid much attention. The basic requirement for VCM lies in that it should provide a large enough saggitus variation and still maintains a high enough surface figure at the same time. Therefore in this manuscript, by combing the pressurization based actuation with a variable thickness mirror design, the purpose of obtaining large saggitus variation and maintaining quite good surface figure accuracy at the same time could be achieved. A prototype zoom mirror with diameter of 120mm and central thickness of 8mm is designed, fabricated and tested. Experimental results demonstrate that the zoom mirror having an initial surface figure accuracy superior to 1/80λ could provide bigger than 36um saggitus variation and after finishing the curvature variation its surface figure accuracy could still be superior to 1/40λ with the spherical aberration removed, which proves that the effectiveness of the theoretical design.
To achieve the efficient, controllable, digital processing and high-precision detection of the high-caliber off-axis aspheric mirror, meeting the high-level development needs of the modern high-resolution, large field of space optical remote sensing camera, we carried out the research on high precision machining and testing technology of off-axis aspheric mirror. First, we forming the off-axis aspheric sample with diameter of 574mm × 302mm by milling it with milling machine, and then the intelligent robot equipment was used for off-axis aspheric high precision polishing. Surface detection of the sample will be proceed with the off-axis aspheric contact contour detection technology and offaxis non-spherical surface interference detection technology after its fine polishing using ion beam equipment. The final surface accuracy RMS is 12nm.
The laser communication terminal is a precision optical, mechanical, electrical integration device which operations extremely high accuracy. It is hard to improve the space environment adaptability in the hash vibration, thermal cycling, high vacuum and radiation conditions space environment. Accordingly, the optical antenna will be influenced by space thermal environment. Laser energy will be absorbed when optical antenna under the irradiation of laser. It can contribute to thermal distortion and make the beam quality degradation which affects the performance of laser communications links. This influence will aggravate when the laser power rising.Wavefront aberration is the distance between the ideal reference sphere and the actual distorted wavefront. The smaller the wavefront aberration, the better the optical performance of the optical antenna. On the contrary, the greater the wavefront aberration, the worse the performance of the optical antenna or even affect the normal operation of the optical antenna. The performance index of the optical antenna generally requires the wavefront aberration to be better than λ/20. Due to the different thermal and thermal expansion coefficients of the material, the effect of thermal deformation on the optical antenna can be reduced by matching the appropriate material. While the appropriate support structure and proper heat dissipation design can also reduce the impact. In this paper, the wavefront aberration of the optical antenna is better than λ/50 by the material matching and the appropriate support structure and the secondary design of the diameter of 5mm hole thermal design.
This paper describes an approach to reconstructing wavefronts on finer grid using the frozen flow hypothesis (FFH), which exploits spatial and temporal correlations between consecutive wavefront sensor (WFS) frames. Under the assumption of FFH, slope data from WFS can be connected to a finer, composite slope grid using translation and down sampling, and elements in transformation matrices are determined by wind information. Frames of slopes are then combined and slopes on finer grid are reconstructed by solving a sparse, large-scale, ill-

What is the difference to OLM / Crossplane?
The Operator Lifecycle Manager and Crossplane are both projects that manage installation, upgrade and deletion of Operators and their CustomResourceDefinitions in a Kubernetes cluster.
KubeCarrier on the other hand is just working with existing CustomResourceDefinitions and already installed Operators. As both OLM and Crossplane are driven by CRDs, they can be combined with KubeCarrier to manage their configuration across clusters.
What is the difference to KubeFed - Kubernetes Federation?
The Kubernetes Federation Project was created to distribute Workload across Kubernetes Clusters for e.g. geo-replication and disaster recovery. It's intentionally low-level to work for generic workload to be spread across clusters.
While KubeCarrier is also operating on multiple clusters, KubeCarrier operates on a higher abstraction level. KubeCarrier assigns applications onto single pre-determined Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes Operators that enable these applications, may still use KubeFed underneath to spread the workload across clusters.


text: Abstract The propagation of virus infection fronts has been typically modeled using a set of classical (noncohabitation) reaction–diffusion equations for interacting species. However, for some single-species systems it has been recently shown that noncohabitation reaction–diffusion equations may lead to unrealistic descriptions. We argue that previous virus infection models also have this limitation, because they assume that a virion can simultaneously reproduce inside a cell and diffuse away from it. For this reason, we build a several-species cohabitation model that does not have this limitation. Furthermore, we perform a sensitivity analysis for the most relevant parameters of the model, and we compare the predicted infection speed with observed data for two different strains of the T7 virus.

How Do Slushy Machines Work?
When it's warm outside there's no better feeling than cooling down with an ice-cold slushy, so why deprive your customers of the refreshing taste of summer?
From corner shops and ice cream vans to restaurants and bars, lots of businesses are embracing the much-loved slushie. And it's no wonder with the huge range of flavours and high return on investment.
But how does that huge bottle of syrup turn into a tasty drink that keeps your customers coming back?
Let's take a closer look inside a Mr Cool It slushie machine to see the magic behind a cup of slush.
How do slushy machines work?
A slushie machine is made up of lots of components that ensure your customers get their delicious treat.
The most important components are in the cooling system, as this is what turns the liquid mixture into frozen slush.
A refrigerant (the chemical that is used to keep things cold) is turned from a liquid into a gas in the evaporator. This is an endothermic reaction, meaning the refrigerant absorbs the heat around it, making the slush machine cold.
This reaction cools the syrup past freezing point to the perfect 3°C and it begins to form the slush. But how come it doesn't freeze solid?
The answer to that lies in the delicious compound that makes slush taste so good; sugar.
The sugar in the syrup acts as an antifreeze, preventing the frozen water molecules from bonding so instead of an ice cube, there are small ice crystals. This is why the ratio of syrup to water is so important.
The final part that makes slush possible is the mixer. This moves the slush mixture around the bowl evenly, so all the mixture is cooled all the way through. The constant movement also helps to make sure the slush doesn't freeze solid.
How long does a slushie machine take to freeze?
Every slush machine will have a different freeze time based on brand, model and age.
In general, most slushy machines will freeze in under an hour however it can be as fast as 20 minutes in more efficient machines.
When buying a slushy machine, you should always check the freeze time in the product specification to make sure it suits your business operations.
How to optimise slushy machine performance
Get the ratio right
As mentioned, the sugar is what controls the freezing of a slush, so it's very important to get the water to syrup ratio perfect.
Too much syrup and your slush won't freeze. But too much water and you risk it freezing solid which can damage your machine over time.
We recommend a water to syrup ratio of 6:1 with Mr Cool It syrups.
Regular cleaning
Having a clean machine is important for hygiene as well as your machine's health.
Make sure you're giving your machine a good scrub from the top of the machine down to the nozzles at least once a week.
It's also important you check the dust build-up on the condenser regularly, as this can block airflow and affect the efficiency of the freezing process.
Servicing and repairs
If your slushie machine is looking a little under the weather, don't wait until it conks out on you to get it fixed.
Annual servicing will ensure your machine is always in the best shape allowing you to save money and make sure you can meet customer demands on every sunny day.
In the unfortunate event that your slushy machine does break, don't give up on it. Our team of experienced engineers can breathe a new lease of life into your machine with our repair service.
Get ready to sell
Now you know the ins and outs of making a slush, it's time to get selling!
At Mr Cool It, we have a huge range of slushie machines in lots of sizes from leading slush brands so there's always a machine to suit your needs.

Certificate in Election Administration, Technology and Security (CEATS)
The purpose of the Certificate in Election Administration, Technology and Security (CEATS) at Ball State University is to
1) professionalize interest in election administration primarily within the state of Indiana,
2) provide instruction on operations of Direct Record Electronic voting system (DRE), Optical Scan voting system (OPSCAN) and Electronic Poll Book (ePBs),
3) instruct on DRE, OPSCAN and ePB troubleshooting,
4) information technology and security basics,
5) election personnel training and management,
6) election law and
7) election day reporting.
Election Administrators are expected to be proficient in a number of diverse areas including human resources, poll worker training, election and procedural law, budgets, physical space management, organizational communication, public relations, information technology, and cybersecurity. This diversity is not traditionally captured in any one single educational or training program.
A Certificate satisfies an unmet need of being able to house these domains of knowledge in one educational experience. With changes in the laws and technology associated with elections in the United States after 2000, a need has emerged to provide education in the area of Election Administration. The Certificate Program in Election Administration, Technology and Security aims to fill an unmet need within the state of Indiana.
Those who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate suitable for framing signed by the Indiana Secretary of State, the co-directors of the Indiana Election Division, the certificate program directors, and the President of Ball State University.

Suppose that two persons, A and B, died in a common disaster. B was the child of A and stood to receive some or all of A's property at A's death. Yet B (and, in turn, B's successors) would only be so entitled if B survived A, at least for an instant. How was a court to determine whether B so survived? This article explores the answers in England and America from 1766 to 2006. Commissioned for a book on The Law of Presumptions: Essays in Comparative Legal History, the article examines the history of the presumptions in Anglo-American law that govern survivorship. The article uses treatises, cases, and legislative records to shed new light on the history, and to explore the resistance at common law to any presumption on the matter - a resistance that was only overcome by legislation in the twentieth century.

Big Data / Hive

Function
This component connects to a given Hive database and copies or moves data into an existing Hive table or a directory you specify.
Purpose
This component is used to write data of different formats into a given Hive table or to export data from a Hive table to a directory.
Basic settings
Property type
Either Built-In or Repository.
Built-In: No property data stored centrally.
Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.
Use an existing connection
Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined.
Note
When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job, you have to:
 1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection.
 2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection.
For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Version
Distribution
Select the cluster you are using from the drop-down list. The options in the list vary depending on the component you are using. Among these options, the following ones requires specific configuration:
 - If available in this Distribution drop-down list, the Microsoft HD Insight option allows you to use a Microsoft HD Insight cluster. For this purpose, you need to configure the connections to the WebHCat service, the HD Insight service and the Windows Azure Storage service of that cluster in the areas that are displayed. A demonstration video about how to configure this connection is available in the following link: _URL_
 - The Custom option allows you to connect to a cluster different from any of the distributions given in this list, that is to say, to connect to a cluster not officially supported by Talend.
In order to connect to a custom distribution, once selecting Custom, click the button to display the dialog box in which you can alternatively:
 1. Select Import from existing version to import an officially supported distribution as base and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not provide.
 2. Select Import from zip to import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index file of these libraries.
 In Talend Exchange, members of Talend community have shared some ready-for-use configuration zip files which you can download from this Hadoop configuration list and directly use them in your connection accordingly. However, because of the ongoing evolution of the different Hadoop-related projects, you might not be able to find the configuration zip corresponding to your distribution from this list; then it is recommended to use the Import from existing version option to take an existing distribution as base to add the jars required by your distribution.
 Note that custom versions are not officially supported by Talend. Talend and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to custom versions from the Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to handle any issues on your own.
 Note
 In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be created between the custom distribution and this component.
 For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom distribution and share this connection, see Connecting to a custom Hadoop distribution.

Hive version
Select the version of the Hadoop distribution you are using. The available options vary depending on the component you are using. Along with the evolution of Hadoop, please note the following changes:
 - If you use Hortonworks Data Platform V2.2, the configuration files of your cluster might be using environment variables such as ${hdp.version}. If this is your situation, you need to set the mapreduce.application.framework.path property in the Hadoop properties table of this component with the path value explicitly pointing to the MapReduce framework archive of your cluster. For example:
 mapreduce.application.framework.path=/hdp/apps/2.2.0.0-2041/mapreduce/mapreduce.tar.gz#mr-framework
 - If you use Hortonworks Data Platform V2.0.0, the type of the operating system for running the distribution and a Talend Job must be the same, such as Windows or Linux. Otherwise, you have to use Talend Jobserver to execute the Job in the same type of operating system in which the Hortonworks Data Platform V2.0.0 distribution you are using is run. For further information about Talend Jobserver, see Talend Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Connection mode
Select a connection mode from the list. The options vary depending on the distribution you are using.

Hive server
Select the Hive server through which you want the Job using this component to execute queries on Hive.
This Hive server list is available only when the Hadoop distribution to be used such as HortonWorks Data Platform V1.2.0 (Bimota) supports HiveServer2. It allows you to select HiveServer2 (Hive 2), the server that better support concurrent connections of multiple clients than HiveServer (Hive 1).
For further information about HiveServer2, see _URL_

Host
Database server IP address.

Port
Listening port number of DB server.

Database
Fill this field with the name of the database.

Username and Password
DB user authentication data.
To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.
Authentication
Use kerberos authentication
If you are accessing a Hive Metastore running with Kerberos security, select this check box and then enter the relevant parameters in the fields that appear.
The values of the following parameters can be found in the hive-site.xml file of the Hive system to be used.
 1. Hive principal uses the value of hive.metastore.kerberos.principal. This is the service principal of the Hive Metastore.
 2. HiveServer2 local user principal uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal.
 3. HiveServer2 local user keytab uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.keytab
 4. Metastore URL uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL. This is the JDBC connection string to the Hive Metastore.
 5. Driver class uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName. This is the name of the driver for the JDBC connection.
 6. Username uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName. This, as well as the Password parameter, is the user credential for connecting to the Hive Metastore.
 7. Password uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword.
For the other parameters that are displayed, please consult the Hadoop configuration files they belong to. For example, the Namenode principal can be found in the hdfs-site.xml file or the hdfs-default.xml file of the distribution you are using.
This check box is available depending on the Hadoop distribution you are connecting to.
 Use a keytab to authenticate
Select the Use a keytab to authenticate check box to log into a Kerberos-enabled Hadoop system using a given keytab file. A keytab file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. You need to enter the principal to be used in the Principal field and the access path to the keytab file itself in the Keytab field.
Note that the user that executes a keytab-enabled Job is not necessarily the one a principal designates but must have the right to read the keytab file being used. For example, the user name you are using to execute a Job is user1 and the principal to be used is guest; in this situation, ensure that user1 has the right to read the keytab file to be used.

Use SSL encryption
Select this check box to enable the SSL encrypted connection.
Then in the fields that are displayed, provide the authentication information:
 - In the Trust store path field, enter the path, or browse to the TrustStore file to be used. By default, the supported TrustStore types are JKS and PKCS 12.
 - To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.
This feature is available only to the HiveServer2 in the Standalone mode of the following distributions:

Published Date: 09 September 2008
TODAY'S online calendar picture shows a line of different coloured Volkswagen camper vans in Aylesbury.
The picture was taken in the car park of a Stoke Mandeville pub recently. The Volkswagen Type 2 (also known as Transporter) was the second automotive line introduced by German automaker Volkswagen. It was a van introduced in 1950, initially based on Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1, also known as the "Beetle". The Type 2 is the forerunner of modern cargo and passenger vans. The Type 2 spawned a number of imitators both in the United States and Europe including the Ford Econoline, Dodge A100, and the Chevrolet Corvan, the last even adopting the Type 2's rear-engine configuration. Updated versions of this line are still being produced in international markets, both as a passenger and cargo van and as a pickup truck.

text: This interesting and unusual name is of Medieval English origin and is a dialectal variant of a locational name yeat-on from a place so called in Shropshire. In the Subsidy Rolls of this county in 1327 the placename appears as "Eton" and is a derivation of the Old English pre 7th Century "Ea", meaning a river, and "tun", a farm, thus "the farm or homestead on the river, (in this case the river Perry). During the Middle Ages, when people began to migrate from their villages of birth to seek work elsewhere, they would often adopt the placename as a means of identification. Amongst the early recordings of christenings in London are, Launcellot Yatton, son of Henry Yatton, on April 15th 1573 and Margaret Yatton, the daughter of Edward Yatton on July 25th 1574, both at St. Dunstan's, Stepney. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Olief Yeaton (christening), which was dated November 23rd 1561, Ludlow, Shropshire, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.


Automatic Publication at Scheduled Times (Cron job)
The jDownloads automatic monitoring can be started at a time schedule with a 'Cron job'.
Suppose you need to publish a large number of download files. These could have been setup on a test site and now you want to upload and publish them. Or maybe you allow certain other users to upload but you do not want to allow them to actually publish. Transfering a large number of files (downloads) in a directory structure (category structure) from your PC to your website is readily achieved using your favourite ftp program such as FileZilla. These downloads, and possibly new categories, will need creating into Downloads and publishing.
Before doing anything else if you want to enable monitoring and to allow automatic publication you need to look at the settings in the Monitoring section of the jD Configuration. These include Download directory monitoring?Monitor all file types?Monitor only the following file types and Automatically publish Downloads? So set those up first to suit your current needs. For example if you as the administrator are initially copying over large number of files you probably would set "Automatically publish Downloads?" to Yes. But later if you open it up to some general users then you may wish to review each Download before publishing it by setting "Automatically publish Downloads?". to No. That is set it whichever way suits your current needs.
However you are strongly recommended to set Download directory monitoring? to No. If you leave it at Yes then there may be a fight between the jD automatic monitoring and the cron initiated monitoring. It is not a good idea to have two 'scan' processes runing at the same time, they could both be actioning the same file with unknown consequences. So set it to No to avoid that possibility.
jDownloads provides facilities to automate the publication process. One of them is to activate the Automatic Monitoring in the Monitoring section of the Configuration. This actually runs every time you access the jDownloads control panel in the backend. If you have a large number of files the delay whilst monitoring is carried out can be frustrating, so this facility is often disabled. Another method is to click on the manual scan on the right hand side of the jDownloads control panel. Both of these methods require that you are actually present and accessing the jDownloads control panel.
This is not always convenient. A solution is to have the scanning scheduled to run periodically or at some fixed time from your web site services. Such a facility is often referred to as a 'Cron job'. This could be from your web site if you have a Cpanel web site. Or it could be from a web based cron service. A third alternative is to use a 'psuedo' cron service provided by the Joomla! extension XTCronjob, which is also known by its former name JPrc Cronjobs.
Whichever way you choose you will need the relevant url link. This may be found by copying the link from the 'Check Download area now' on the jD Control Panel. The link will be something like the following
"http://<your-site>/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php?key=this-is-a-key" where the key part is unique to your specific site. This secret key is the one created by Joomla! for your site. It may be found in the Joomla! System - System Information - Configuration tab. Scroll down until you find the Secret key. It is usually a 32 character sequence such as for example say stoAs118BoemlusWO1mlaxoesPl9wrlU - the one shown is artificial and not real. jDownloads compares the key you supply with the one in your Joomla! configuration file so that no one else can initiate a Cron on your site.
Cron01A
General
Any Cron job consists of two parts: the scheduling time string, and the command which eventually get combined..
The time string is made up of 5 items specifying: minutes hours days months weekdays. The syntax is five space separated 'values'; but the values not always obvious! Some examples are given below but if you want to determine other time strings then you could look at _URL_ . All times are usually UTC based so you may need to take that into account.
Time string */30 4 * * * would cause execution every day at 4:00 and 4:30.
Time string 3 4 * * * is once a day at 4:03 am
Time string */20 * * * * is every 20 minutes
The general structure of the command part for use with jDownloads is the unix command: "curl -s /dev/null http://websitename/script-name"
Specifically something like: curl -s /dev/null http://<your_site>/jda1/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php?key=qwertySS1zW0kIdQ1VZ7xxxyyy which also includes the Secret key specific to your site as described above. The key shown is not a real one!
Using cPanel Cron job
Most cPanel implementations have an Advanced section with a Cron job icon. These notes apply to cPanel version 54.0 (build 22) but all recent versions are similar.
After clicking on th Cron Job icon a screen such as opposite appears. The cPanel has the ability to send an email every time the cron job runs. You just put in your email address into the appropriate field. If you leave it blank then no emails are sent. If you have multiple cron jobs there is a way of seclectively setting which cron jobs will not send an email.
The email sent is a full html page that is the same text mixed with html tags as would have been generated if you had run the scan process manually from the jD control panel.
As is obvious from the picture opposite setting up the schedule times for the cron to run is reasonably simple. The easiest to use is the common settings which can be readily adjusted in the individual time parts. In the example shown opposite the schedule is twice a day at 00 and 12:00 on every day. One could edit the hour part to say 1 and 5 to give an unequal spacing.

The Command part is simply
http://<your_site>/jda1/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php?key=your-key
where your-key is the Joomla! Secret key specific to your site (see System - Site Information - Configuration tab Secret field), and the <your_site> is replaced by _URL_ as appropriate.
After clicking on the 'Add New Cron Job' button a line appears something like below
Cron04D2
The resultant schedule and command are quite obvious. Importantly one is able to edit the 'cron line' to change say the schedule. For initial testing setting I set the cron job to run every five minutes with just a few files. It was then edited to run just twice a day..
If the cron job does not run then you should initially check with yout host site provider as they may have imposed some restricions such as a minimum time interval.
Cron04C2

Joomla! Extension XTCronjob (previously known as JPrc Cronjobs)
This uses a regular Joomla extension that simulates a Cron job. One sets up the time and command as below but the time schedule is only examined when a user accesses the front end of the site That is one sets a 'target' time for executing the scan but it does not actually start at that time. The next time anyone, which maybe a web crawler or a real user, vists your site XTCronjob looks to see if the scan has become due and either initiates the scan or goes back to sleep. After running the scan it resets itself for the next target time after the current time, it does not run multiple scans to catch up but re- computes the next scheduled time.
The following modified instructions are based on those from jDownloads User: rblackman. Many thanks that he shared this with us.
One thing to note is that this extension requires the php exec() function so you may need to check with your hosting service that is enabled on your site.
Install the component as usual . Check that the plugin 'System - Extly XTCronjob' is enabled as that is vital (it is usually enabled but ...). XTCronjob works well but it is not what one would call 'polished'
Click on the XTCron job Comonent and select the Categories section.
Create a new category with a suitable name.
Cron02A
 After creating the category, select Task and click on New.
This will show a form like the one opposite.
Add a title and select the category.
Now select the task type as Web Address fopen
The Command is simpler here, it is just the web address of the routine we want to run
http://<your_site>/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php?key=your-key
Regretable the shedule selector does not seem to operate - maybe it will be fixed in a later release.
So enter the required string manually in the Cronjob Expression field . The examples are reproduced again for convenience
Time string */30 4 *

There is seemingly an endless amount of forestland through the state of Maine. Most of that forestland is harmless, filled with walkable trails and exciting little finds that make exploring it an actual pastime for many. But there is one specific part of forestland that has gained worldwide attention over the years because of a series of strange happenings that are difficult to explain. It's the forest that surrounds the small town of Randolph, Maine, which is home to an incredible bike path and some very goosebump-inducing tales.
Jean-Luc Thériault (Maine Trail Finder)
According to MaineTrailFinder, the path is the Old Narrow Gauge Volunteer Trail, a bike path created over the route of a former railroad that often transported injured or sick veterans to Togus Hospital during the late 1800's and early 1900's. With the railroad out of use and the land being unused, a bike path seemed to be a great use of the space. Apparently, checking for ghosts beforehand never crossed anyone's mind.
Since it's construction, the path has yielded tales of ghostly encounters. According to the Bangor Daily News, some locals believe one of the many ghosts that haunt the trail is the spirit of someone known as "Bicycle Larry", who disappeared in 2004. Other stories shared include seeing unexplained flashes or orbs within the most heavily wooded area that surrounds the trails. Then there's the screams. Several witnesses claim they've heard screams but never spotted a soul.
Jean-Luc Thériault (Maine Trail Finder)
Perhaps the most eerie story is about a small patch of wooded area near a brook slightly off the bike path. Several people believe the area used to be home to ritualistic practices and now is constantly shrouded in darkness no matter how much light exists around it. If that doesn't sound like the premise of a Stephen King novel, you haven't been reading enough.
But don't let these urban legends keep you from a great day in the Maine outdoors. Even in the winter, the trail can be a peaceful day trip escape from hustle and bustle if you're brave enough.

Turnips and red kidney beans
Terrific Turnip Recipe
Turnips can be eaten raw, boiled, fried or cooked with other vegetables. Here is a terrific recipe for turnips and kidney beans, which makes a delicious, unique side dish.
History of turnips
The turnip originated in Hellenistic and Roman times, becoming a well-established crop during this period in history. Wild forms of turnips can be found throughout Asia and Europe. Turnips are root vegetables, like carrots, and they grow most easily in temperate climates. Because of the ease in growing turnips, they are popular throughout the world and are prepared in a great variety of ways.
They are a good crop to grow because of the many nutrients that they contain for the soil. As a staple food, they grow in great abundance and can be used to feed both humans and livestock, increasing their versatility.
Turnips nutrition
Turnips are only high in Vitamin C but turnip greens are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin K, folate and calcium. The greens are also high in lutein. Turnips are edible cooked or uncooked and they are often found in salads. In order to eat turnips, you must first trim off any hairy roots and then peel them. Then, you can chop them or slice them depending on what you plan to do with them.
Turnips preparation
Younger turnips can be sliced and eaten raw, for example in a salad or as a dipping vegetable. You can also shred them as part of coleslaw, and they make great parts of vegetable medleys. Older turnips often have a milder flavor, and if you overcook turnips, they lose their flavor and become unpleasant. If you plan to boil your turnips, only cook them until they become tender, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You can also microwave, steam and roast your turnips, using your imagination to give character to this versatile, tasty plant. Here is a recipe for kidney beans and turnips that makes a delicious side dish.
Turnips and red kidney beans
 - 1 1/2 cups red kidney beans (soaked)
 - 4 large turnips
 - 1 large onion
 - 1/4 tsp ground ginger
 - 1 tsp salt
 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
 - 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
 - 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
1. Place kidney beans in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil vigorously for 15 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, partial covered for 90 minutes.
2. Peel turnips and slice into wedges. Chop onion in half and then slice. Combine spices with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the turnip wedges in the oil until golden brown, then remove. Fry the onions for 2-3 minutes, reduce heat and add garlic and spice paste. Stir for a few seconds and then turn off heat.
4. After the beans have cooked halfway through (45 minutes), add turnip and onion mixture to the pot and stir. Allow beans to finish cooking.
5. Serve hot with rice.

- Sam's Club has launched self-service recycling units in its Northwest Arkansas stores as part of its commitment to becoming a regenerative company, according to a Friday press release.
- The rollout of more self-service recycling units, which began last week, follows a successful pilot Sam's Club ran in El Paso, Texas, where an estimated 200,000 pieces of loose packaging were diverted from landfills or incineration.
- The retailer's goal is to launch at least 30 of these units this year and follows an industry-wide trend of grocers expanding their sustainability efforts.
Materials from eight different waste streams can be dropped off at the units, including paper boxes, PET thermoforms, pet food bags, aluminum packaging, clear plastic containers, home cleaning and beauty product bottles, plastic bags and films, plastic bottles and rigid food packaging, according to the retailer's website.
The retailer's goal this year is to divert 150 tons of recyclable materials, according to the announcement.
Sam's Club aims to use the recycled PET thermoforms, which are the plastic clamshells baked goods are packaged in, to create new packaging. Only 9% of PET thermoforms are recycled due to them not being widely accepted in North America, the press release noted.
To use and access the recycling units, individuals scan the QR code on the unit and then deposit the recyclable items into separate waste streams. From there, collected waste is transported to facilities for recycling or returned to brand sponsors to use in circularity initiatives.
Sam's Club piloted the units for six months at all four of its El Paso, Texas, stores focusing on PET thermoforms, which include clear fruit and produce containers, trays, tubs, cups, lids and plastic egg cartons, the grocer stated in a July 2022 announcement.
The retailer launched the pilot in collaboration with Texan by Nature and Texans for Clean Water as part of a goal to reduce litter in waterways and roadways via community-driven recycling. The project was fully funded by Texans for Clean Water while Texan by Nature managed the pilot.
More grocers are making sustainability strides, specifically in recycling. In late April, Kroger announced reaching a milestone of recycling 1 million pieces of its Our Brands flexible plastic product packaging.
In July 2022, Giant Food announced bringing Loop, a reusable packaging program, into its stores in the greater Washington, D.C., area in order to bolster reusable options for shoppers.

Dear lovely, kind, righteous, gentle, brilliant, empathetic, sincere, truly helpful, prosperous readers,
Is there a way of finding out what the column number and or ruler position of a character is in a document?
In word each character has a column number attached to it which specifies its x-position (horizontal position) on a line.
Suppose I am writing a sentence to a word document. As I am writing it to the word document can I tell if I have reached the end of the line and now the text is being wrapped onto the second line?
Is there a way to tell what line number a particular character/word is in?

Candidate: Queen Square
Location: Bristol, UK
Category: The Great Place Award
1. Although the transformation of Queen Square has resulted in a magnificent public space, there is much opportunity to further develop the underutilized spaces surrounding the square
2. The redevelopment of Queen Square over the past two decades reflects the changing economic and social conditions of city living that has seen pedestrian movement re-established to create a successful public space with the capacity to adapt to different needs and expectations of the local community
3. Due to the occupation of the aesthetically pleasing Georgian style townhouses by commercial enterprises, the square is conducive to hosting events and festivals without disrupting residential tenants, making it a vibrant public space
4. Queen Square has a distinctive sense of place, and the city council is emphasizing the importance of high quality management and maintenance of the square, seeking to respect both the people and the ecology
5. The prioritization of pedestrian traffic in the square has resulted in a more sustainable environment that has contributed to the stable and efficient use and occupation of the buildings – as well as the constant daily use of the square, which has further contributed to the social, cultural and economic compatibility between the different users and their needs.
Queen Square (named after Queen Anne) is an impressive Georgian square, claimed to be one of the largest of its type in Europe and the first residential square to be developed in England outside London. The square was built between 1699 and 1720 on the old town marsh as houses for the city's merchants, providing a direct relationship between the merchants' houses and their business on the surrounding quaysides and the Square has reflected the growth and changes of the city ever since. It occupies 2.4 hectares with lawns and wide gravel paths, a statue of King William III (grade-I listed) at the centre and a perimeter of mature plane trees. It is now home to around 70 businesses and in addition to its constant daily use an estimated 40,000 people attended organised formal events in the Square last year.
The space is a splendid example of a historic square restored to its former glory, the trees (magnificent) and the architecture (glorious) combine to provide a welcoming atmosphere aided by the now much reduced traffic flow. Great care has been taken with materials and detailing to ensure that the restoration scheme is historically appropriate and built to the highest quality. The economic success of the scheme is reflected in the current 100% occupation of all the buildings at rentals 16% above average, compared with an average 33% vacancy level in the 1990's.
The space has benefited in the recent past from Bristol City Council's very clear and singular vision, published in 1990, that resulted in the removal of the inner ring road from the square. The road was driven right through the square in 1936 and finally closed in 1992. The removal of the dual carriageway was the most crucial part of the regeneration scheme which was fiercely opposed by many in the city. It took 20 years from the publication of the original concept to completion. The associated regeneration of the space included not only the restoration of the historic landscape of the main square but also the creation of entirely new urban spaces where there had previously been just roads in Thunderbolt Square and Bell Lane. It also helped to build a case for the Brunel Mile and the key pedestrian link of Pero's Bridge which is central to the Harbourside's success.
The current vision for Queen Square is centred on the management and maintenance of the public space, overlooked by the commercial residents (occasionally used for public events). The City council has a committed revenue fund to maintain the space and manage the events. The 'residents' are represented by the Queen Square Association which provides a conduit for the Council and event planners to communicate and consult with the local community. This vision is focussed on the 'inside' of the square without looking beyond the perimeter. There is an opportunity to use the space as a catalyst to regenerate adjacent neglected spaces and streets, particularly on and around Welsh Back and The Grove. Perhaps two new pedestrian bridges across the water to the east and south would provide the movement and permeability that is currently lacking on these two streets? There is a plan for improving pedestrian links with St Mary Redcliffe and Temple Meads Station by way of the provision of green pedestrian corridors alongside existing vehicular routes.
Queen Square is not only providing a significant and sustainable economic benefit by providing high quality commercial accommodation but is also providing for a large number of events that enriches the cultural diversity of the city. The Bristol City Design Group consider it would be useful to carry out research into the economic impact of the Queen Square regeneration and its contribution to cultural life of the city.

Can I have Greek yogurt on 21 Day Fix?
You can also try making your own olive oil-based mayo (which is 21 Day Fix approved) and count it as a TSP. Can I have flavored yogurt? Your best bet is to stick with plain or Greek yogurt and add fruit or a natural sweetener yourself. Pre-made flavored yogurts tend to add a lot of extra sugar and other additives.
What color container is Greek yogurt?
♥ Red Container Foods include: chicken, turkey, duck, fish, pork tenderloin, lean beef, shellfish, game, eggs, tofu, tempeh, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, etc…
What is Greek yogurt considered in 21 Day Fix?
Yogurts: 1 1/2 cup plain yogurt for 21 day fix: use 3/4C yogurt = 1R.
Why do you get 2 orange containers?
For example, because there's some protein in nuts, we included them in both Blue and Orange containers for Vegan Fix, allowing users to get that little extra protein hit. This is important since protein levels are a common concern in animal product-free diets.
Can you have potatoes on 21 day fix?
I use potatoes as my yellow container pretty often. Yes, I am a potato addict and happy that the 21 Day Fix lets me enjoy them! Recipes like potato salad, mashed potatoes, potato-green bean salad are some of my favorites! I have even perfected a crispy french fry recipe too!
Can you have butter on 21 day fix?
How do I count things like butter, sour cream, mayo? Sour cream, butter, mayo are technically not allowed in the 21 Day Fix meal plan. They contain too much fat and/or the wrong type of fat. However, you can swap them out for other ingredients without affecting the taste of your recipes too much.
Why are there 2 orange containers in 21 day fix?
There are 6 colours corresponding to 6 different types of foods.
- The green container is for vegetables.
- The purple container is for fruits.
- The red container is for protein.
- The yellow container is for carbs and starches.
- The blue container is for healthy fats.
- The orange container is for seeds and dressings.
How many eggs is a red container?
Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs Two eggs equals one red container. If you're only eating the egg whites, then eight of them equals a red container!
What is popcorn on 21 day fix?
Popcorn is a healthy snack, as long as it's not coated in oil or butter! Watch how Autumn gives her 21 Day Fix -approved popcorn more flavor with herbs and spices, and hear some of her favorite flavor combinations. Click here to subscribe to my channel and see more of my videos!
Can you have mayo on the 21 day fix?
Plan A gets an extra green container as well as an extra teaspoon. No updates to 21 Day Fix Extreme. Mayo has been added to the list as a teaspoon. Butter has been added as a teaspoon.
What color is yogurt for 21 day fix?
#21dayfix –snack –yellow container-whole grain granola, purple container- strawberries, red container- yogurt.
What is the purple container for 21 day fix?
The purple container is assigned for fruit. One of the great features of the 21 Day Fix diet is that you can use any fruit you'd like. You can also add an additional fruits or even different colored containers to the mix in order to make a small meal or filling snack.
Can you eat banana on 21 day fix?
21 Day Fix Container Cheat Sheet: Purple Container: Fruits like blueberries, strawberries, mango, and banana. Red Container: Proteins like chicken breast, salmon, eggs, and tempeh. Yellow Container: Carbohydrates like sweet potato, brown rice, tortillas, whole-wheat bread, and wine (yes, wine!).


What is taxation with a gender perspective?
In order to offer services to people and manage city policies, the City Council must be provided with resources. It does this, among other things, through taxes, such as the IBI; and public prices, such as those we pay to enjoy civic centers or municipal sports centers.
The way these public taxes and prices are set up can affect inequalities between women and men and therefore can help to reduce them. This is what taxation with a gender perspective does.

This article aims to simplify the concepts of generic repository and CRUD operations in ASP.NET Core using a Web API. For this, we build a simple application and implement the process of Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting records from a database to demonstrate the CRUD concepts using generic repository methodology.
A Web API Operations In ASP.NET Core
To get along with this article, you need to have SQL Server and Visual Studio (we used Visual Studio 2019) installed on your system.
Here is how you do it:
 1. Open Visual Studio 2019.
 2. In the Visual Studio 2019 welcome screen that launches, select Create a new project from the options shown on the right.
 3. In the following screen, select ASP.NET Core Web Application.
 4. Click Next.
 5. There is the New ASP.NET Core Web Application window that will open next. Select the Web Application (Model-View-Controller) option here.
 6. Select the Configure for HTTPS checkbox at the bottom.
 7. Click OK.
 8. In the Configure your new project window that opens, enter a project name.
 9. Click on the Create button.
 10. In the Solution Explorer window, create a new folder and name it Models.
 11. Thereafter, in the Models folder, create a new class and name it Employees.
 public class Employees
 {
 [Key]
 public int ID { get; set; }
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public string Email { get; set; }
 }
Add an interface to the Models class and name it IDataRepository. Add the following code.
 public interface IDataRepository<TEntity>
 {
 IEnumerable<TEntity> GetAll();
 TEntity Get(int id);
 void Add(TEntity entity);
 void Change(TEntity dbEntity, TEntity entity);
 void Delete(TEntity entity);
 }
Adding an interface is necessary for implementing Generic Repository as this would allow for defining generic functions. Overall, five methods are being declared for CRUD operations. The methods will then be implemented in the action class of each model.
Next, add an Action class. Add a class and name it EmployeesManager. Add the following code in the EmployeesManager class.
 public class EmployeesManager : IDataRepository<Employees>
 {
 readonly DbContext dbContext;
 public EmployeesManager(DbContext context)
 {
 dbContext = context;
 }
 public IEnumerable<Employees> GetAll()
 {
 return dbContext.Employees.ToList();
 }
 public EmployeeGet(int id)
 {
 return dbContext.Employees
 .FirstOrDefault(e => e.ID == id);
 }
 public void Add(Employees employees)
 {
 dbContext.Employees.Add(employees);
 dbContext.SaveChanges();
 }
 public void Change(Employees employees, Employees entity)
 {
 employees.Name = entity.Name;
 employees.Email = entity.Email;
 dbContext.SaveChanges();
 }
 public void Delete(Employees employees)
 {
 dbContext.Employees.Remove(employees);
 dbContext.SaveChanges();
 }
 }
As is evident from the code above, the IDataRepository interface inherits the EmployeesManager class. Also, all the methods that have been defined in IDataRepository interface get implemented in this class for CRUD operations.
Next, add a new class and name it DbContext and add the following code to the class.
 public class DbContext
 {
 public DbContext(DbContextOptions<DbContext> options)
 : base(options)
 {
 }
 public DbSet<Employees> Employees { get; set; }
 }
Add the following connection string in your appsetting.json file.
{
 "Logging": {
 "Loglevel": {
 "Default": "Warning"
 }
 },
 "ConnectionString": {
 "tDB": "server= xyz; database=Database;integrated security = true;"
 },
 "AllowedHosts": "*"
}
Next for implementing the CRUD operation, you will have to add a Controller for Employees Class. For this, add a New Controller and name it EmployeesController. Add the following code in EmployeesController.
 public class EmployeesController : Controller
 {
 private IDataRepository<Employees> _repository;
 public EmployeesController(IDataRepository<Employees> repository)
 {
 _repository = repository;
 }
 // GET: api/<controller>
 [HttpGet]
 public IActionResult Get()
 {
 IEnumerable<Employees> employees = _repository.GetAll();
 return Ok(employees);
 }
 // GET api/<controller>/5
 [HttpGet("{id}")]
 public IActionResult Get(int id)
 {
 Employees employees = _repository.Get(id);
 if (employees == null)
 {
 return NotFound("The Employee record couldn't be found.");
 }
 return Ok(employees);
 }
 // POST api/<controller>
 [HttpPost]
 public IActionResult Post([FromBody]Employees employee)
 {
 if (employee == null)
 {
 return BadRequest("Employee is Null");
 }
 _repository.Add(employee);
 return CreatedAtRoute("Get", new { Id = employee.ID }, employee);
 }
 // PUT api/<controller>/5
 [HttpPut("{id}")]
 public IActionResult Put(int id, [FromBody]Employees employee)
 {
 if (employee == null)
 {
 return BadRequest("Employee is null");
 }
 Employees employeeToUpdate = _repository.Get(id);
 if (employeeToUpdate == null)
 {
 return NotFound("Employee could not be found");
 }
 _repository.Change(employeeToUpdate, employee);
 return NoContent();
 }
 // DELETE api/<controller>/5
 [HttpDelete("{id}")]
 public IActionResult Delete(int id)
 {
 Employees employee = _repository.Get(id);
 if (employee == null)
 {
 return BadRequest("Employee is not found");
 }
 _repository.Delete(employee);
 return NoContent();
 }
 }
Implement the CRUD operations
The process starts by creating a Web API:
For that, create a new project in Visual Studio and it a name, say CRUD_operation.
In the next window that opens, select the Web API template.
Click OK.
In Solution Explorer, add a new API Controller and the name is EmployeesController.
Create a new SQL table and name is Employees.
Next, add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model for your database.
Finally, you will also be required to create an 'Entities' class object in EmployeesController, the new API controller you just created.
Now for the actual CRUD operations:
For the READ operation:
There are two GET methods to accomplish the same, the code snippets for which is added below.
This method does not accept any parameters and returns a list of all employees.
 public IEnumerable<Employees> Get()
 {
 return db.Employees.ToList();
 }
This method accepts an ID as a parameter and will return the only record that matches that ID.
 public EmployeeGet(int id)
 {
 Employees employees = db.Employees.Find(id);
 return employee;
 }
For Create operation:
This is accomplished by the POST method in API. In the POST method shown here, the method will accept an Employee as a parameter and will add the same in the database as a new record.
 public void POST(Employees employee )
 {
 db.Employees.Add(employee);
 db.SaveChanges();
 }
For Update operation:
This is accomplished by the PUT method and will accept a parameter to update the details that match with that parameter, which generally is the ID related to that employee.
 public void PUT(int id, Employees employee)
 {
 var emp = db.Employees.Find(id);
 emp.Email = employee.Name;
 emp.FullName = employee.Email;

 db.Entry(emp).State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified;
 db.SaveChanges();
 }
For Delete operation:
This again is accomplished by the method of the same name, .i.e. is the DELETE method. Also, the method takes an ID as a parameter and will delete the record that matches that parameter.
 public string Delete(int id)
 {
 Employees employee = db.Employees.Find(id);
 db.Employees.Remove(employee);
 db.SaveChanges();
 return "Employee Deleted";
 }
Conclusion:
So, this should serve as a guide to understanding the concept of generic repository and CRUD operations in ASP.NET Core using Web API.

GeoIP refers to the method of obtaining the geographic location of a specific device by its IP. Many alternatives to access information of this kind allow you to obtain as well more specific information as the city, state, province, local currency, latitude and longitude, company detail, ISP lookup (internet service provider), language, zip code, country calling code, time zone, current time, sunset and sunrise time, moonset and moonrise time from any provided IPv4 and IPv6 address. According to the type of implementation, you may read this information either from an API over HTTP or the specific GeoIP databases to obtain this information in JSON or XML format.
In this article, I will share with you 5 of the most awesome and free GeoIP databases that you can access nowadays.
5. IP2C (API)
ip2c.org is a very useful online tool/service that exists to resolve IPs to country codes/names. You can access this API with multiple languages through an HTTP request.
4. IPAPI (API)
ipapi provides an easy-to-use API interface allowing customers to look at various pieces of information IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are associated with. For each IP address processed, the API returns more than 45 unique data points, such as location data, connection data, ISP information, time zone, currency, and security assessment data. The API is REST-based, lookup requests are made using straightforward HTTP GET URLs, and results are returned in lightweight JSON or XML format within a matter of a few milliseconds.
This API documentation will outline in detail the API's specification, access, and features. At the very bottom, you will find code examples in different programming languages. In case any technical questions are left unanswered, please feel free to contact ipapi Customer Service.
IP2Location LITE databases consist of IP addresses that are being used to determine the geolocation information of an IP address like country, region or state, city, latitude, longitude, zip code, and time zone. If you are looking for high data accuracy, more records, and customer support, please kindly try the commercial edition.
IP2Location™ LITE IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-LATITUDE-LONGITUDE-ZIPCODE-TIMEZONE Database provides a solution to determine the country, region or state, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, and time zone of origin for any IP address in a few simple steps. First, retrieve the IP address from the networking protocol or server-side variable of the Web server. Next, translate the IP address to an IP number in decimal format to speed up the database query. Lastly, reverse lookup the IP number from the IP2Location™ database to pinpoint the exact geographical location. The LITE edition is a free version of the database with limited accuracy & number of records compares to commercial release. It is free for personal or commercial use with attribution required by mentioning the use of this data.
Free IP API is a free and paid service that provides country, city, state, province, local currency, latitude and longitude, company detail, ISP lookup, language, zip code, country calling code, time zone, current time, sunset and sunrise time, moonset and moonrise time from any IPv4 and IPv6 address in REST, JSON and XML format over HTTPS. The IP Geolocation API allows you to:
- Lookup any IPv4 or IPv6 address with our API to know its physical location, detect TOR, Proxy, VPN, threat, robot, and user agent.
- Get the exact sunrise, sunset, moonset and moonrise timings with our API from an IP Address or GPS Coordinates.
- Get accurate date time and local time information from an IP address, GPS Coordinates, and time zone string.
GeoLite2 databases are free IP geolocation databases comparable to, but less accurate than, MaxMind's GeoIP2 databases. The GeoLite2 Country, City, and ASN databases are updated weekly, every Tuesday. MaxMind does not provide official support for the free GeoLite2 databases. If you have questions about the GeoLite2 databases or GeoIP2 APIs, please see StackOverflow's GeoIP questions and answers or our GeoLite FAQ.
The GeoLite2 end-user license agreement, which incorporates components of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License can be found here. The attribution requirement may be met by including the following in all advertising and documentation mentioning features of or use of this database. They also offer redistribution licenses for GeoLite2 databases that allow you to package the databases with your commercial products without the need for attribution. For more information, please visit the GeoLite2 Commercial Redistribution page.
_URL_ is an easy-to-use and features complete IP Geolocation API with global coverage. It provides a reliable & scalable IP API for software developers. It uses a database of IP addresses associated with cities and other relevant information like time zone, latitude & longitude. The IP data API is not only easy to integrate but comes along with an entire suite of REST-Clients and pre-built integrations. Additionally, they provide a Postman-Collection.
Unlike other geolocation techniques like GPS, IP geolocation is non-specific and cannot be utilized for real-time device tracking. Our IP address database is updated daily to ensure the highest possible accuracy. In case you're wondering, yes, ipbase.com provides a free plan where no payment details are required.
The accuracy of the databases is specified by all the information that it contains, if the IP/IP Pattern isn't in the database, you will obtain nothing useful. Most of them are incredibly accurate at the country level. Depending on the region, the accuracy of the information may differ, for example, in developed countries, the information will be usually up to date, however in less developed countries, some information may be missing.
If you know another free database or API that offers the possibility to obtain geoinformation from the user's IP, please share it with the community in the comment box.

is zinc hydroxide soluble in water.
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
Why is zinc hydroxide insoluble in water?
Zinc hydrate is insolubilized in the presence of water. This is why it is so important to use a water-soluble zinc supplement. zinc oxide, and zinc sulfate are all insoluable in aqueous solutions. Zinc oxide is soluble in most water, but it can be insolvented in solution. The solution is then filtered to remove the insolated zinc. If the zinc is not removed, it will remain in solutions and can cause problems.
How do I know if my zinc supplements are safe?
Is zinc hydroxide considered soluble or not soluble?
Zinc hydoxide is considered insoluble in water. It is soluble in the presence of water, but not in solution. and the following are the most common forms of zinc oxide:
– Zinc oxide is a crystalline powder that is insolubles in liquid. The crystallization process is the same as that for the crystallized form of calcium carbonate. ZnO is also soluble when dissolved in a solution of sodium hydrosulfate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonates. In the case of ZN, the solution is usually aqueous. When dissolved, ZNO is dissolved into the water and is absorbed by the cell. This absorption process can be reversed by adding a small amount of a salt such as sodium chloride.
The following is an example of the absorption of zn oxide by a cell:
where the z-component is 1 and C is 0.5. If the C-position of C and Z is not present, then the Z-hydroxyl group is present. Thus, when the zinc is added to the cells, it is converted to Z. However, if the hydration of this solution occurs, this conversion is reversed. Therefore, in this example, zinc is still soluble.
Is zinc soluble in water?
Zinc is a mineral that is soluble and can be absorbed through the skin. It is also soluble when it is dissolved in a solution. and the answer is yes. Zinc can also be found in foods, such as nuts, seeds, beans, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The amount of zinc in your diet is dependent on the type of food you eat. For example, if you are eating a lot of nuts or seeds and you have a high intake of calcium, you may be deficient in zinc. If you're eating less than a serving of fruits and vegetables a day, your zinc levels may not be as high as they should be.
Is Fe OH 2 soluble or insoluble?
The answer is that FeO 2 is soluble in water, but Fe 2 O 3 is insolubles in air. and Fe is solublies in liquid. The answer to this question is:
"The Fe O 2 and the Fe2O 3 are soluble and insoluable in the presence of water. However, the soluble Fe and O are insolvable in aqueous solutions. Therefore, they are not soluble."
In the case of Fe, it is important to understand that the amount of the soluble Fe in solution is dependent on the concentration of oxygen in it. In the absence of air, Fe can be soluble, while in oxygenated solutions, its solvability is reduced. This is why the solution of a solution containing Fe with oxygen is called a "solution of dissolved Fe".
Fe is also soluble when it has been dissolved in an oxygen solution. For example, in this case, a mixture of 2.5% FeOH and 1.25% O2 in which the O is dissolved is a Fe solution, whereas a pure Fe-O solution would be a NaOH solution (see the section on NaO).
When the oxygenation of an air-dissolved solution occurs, however, there is no reduction in Fe's solvency. Thus, when the air is removed, oxygen will be present in solutions containing the dissolved solution and will dissolve the insolvent Fe. When the water is added to the mixture, this will also dissolve Fe (and thus the Na and Na2 O). The solution will then be Fe(OH) 2, Fe3O4, or Fe4O3.
This is because the addition of O to a dissolved mixture will reduce the number of atoms of each of these atoms. As a result, as the atoms are removed from the mix, their Fe atoms will become more soluble. If the total number is less than the sum of their atoms, then the remaining atoms remain insolute. (This process is known as "reduction of solute solvation".)
If the ratio of total Fe to total O in any solution increases, or if the proportion of Na to Na3 increases (as in Na 2 SO 4 ), then there will always be more Fe than O. So, if you add more oxygen to an O-solved mixture than there are oxygen atoms in that mixture (which is what happens when

Measuring Client Performance with Endpoint Analytics
We've all heard reports from end-users that their device is too slow or takes too long to do something. Reports from users, however, can be subjective, so how can we certify the results and get tangible metrics to support the claims? With Microsoft Intune and Endpoint Analytics is how.
Whether it be a laptop that takes so long to boot you can make a coffee and drink it or whether it's a logon process that is so slow it's time for the user to take their next break already, we've all seen and heard of performance issues before. As IT or as someone making financial decisions about hardware purchases for end-users, knowing that what you have or what you buy is good is important and for that you need data and we can use Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune exactly for this purpose.
What is Endpoint Analytics?
Simply put, Endpoint Analytics is a feature we can enable in Microsoft Intune to collect data from client systems registered with Microsoft Intune running Windows 10 to understand how they behave and perform.
Once enabled, we can see how devices perform against performance baselines and you can either use the baseline recommended by Microsoft or specify your own.
What information does Endpoint Analytics provide?
Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune provides information about boot time, sign-in and logon times. The information is broken down into how long each portion of the start-up was attributed to the device vs. time attributed to Group Policy processing for Hybrid Azure AD Joined devices allowing you to see the impact of your Active Directory Domain Services Group Policy Objects.
With data collected by Endpoint Analytics, we can see how devices perform across various metrics and report it per device type or even for individual devices.
With the information collected, Endpoint Analytics allows you to display it overall for your whole organisation, per-device model, or per individual device. With these breakdowns, you can see whether a specific device model has a performance issue to address or whether it is only impacting specific users and devices so you can work on targeted fixes and remediation.
When it comes to remediation and fixing issues, Endpoint Analytics provides information such as which start-up processes are causing delays so that you can look into them and try to fix them.
Proactive remediations provides some pre-defined scripts you can deploy for fixing common issues and the Recommended software section provides you with a summary report of what modern management features are being used such as Cloud identity, Cloud management, and Windows Autopilot.
How do I implement it?
Implementing Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune is as simple as creating and assigning a Device Configuration Profile to enable the feature on devices. Once enabled, you simply wait for device metrics to start coming through.
Get started with Microsoft Intune, Endpoint Analytics, and modern management
If you need to get your devices in shape, manage them better, faster, or more easily. Maybe you've got an on-premises management solution and you want to move to a cloud-based modern management alternative.
Speak to us at Arcible about how we can help you implement Microsoft Intune and to find out more.

The design process for analog network design is formulated oil the basis of the optimum control theory. A special control vector is defined to redistribute the compute expensive between a network analysis and a parametric optimization. This redistribution permits the minimization of a computer time. The problem of the ninimal-time network design can be formulated in this case as a classical problem of the optimal control for some functional minimization. The principal difference between the new approach and before elaborated generalized methodology is presented. This difference is based oil a higher level of the problem generalization. In this case the structural basis of different design strategies is more complete and this circumstance gives possibility to obtain a great value of computer time gain. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and perspective of the proposed approach.


text: An unpolished (mill) finish, and a precision tolerance, and meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM A313 specifications. It is corrosion resistance. The material may be slightly magnetic and can be cold worked for increased strength and rigidity. The spring temper is stiff and spring like, resisting bends and kinks until a large amount of force is applied. Wire will not stretch, so care must be taken to measure accurately. There are a couple of ways to join the ends of your wire. My favorite method is wrapping the ends with thread. Allow 2 inches overlap for this method. Using strong millinery thread, begin at one end of the overlapped wires and wrap tightly towards the other end of overlap. Add a dab of clear glue to each open end of wire at the overlaps. The most common stitches for securing wire to the edge of a brim are a buttonhole stitch for hand sewing and a wide zig-zag stitch when using a sewing machine. It is important to sew the wire to the edge, not on top or under the brim edge. The stitch width should be only the depth of the wire. If the stitch is too deep, the wire will slip away from the edge and can cause an uneven looking finish to the brim. See our FAQ section for more in depth instruction.

Population Genetic Structure and Demographic History of Opsaridium microcephulum along Lake Nyasa
Keywords:Lake Nyasa, genetic diversity, demographic history, population genetics structure and effective population size
The Sanjika, Opsaridium microcephalum is among the fish species that serve as a major source of proteins and income to people along Lake Nyasa. However, the information on its genetic diversity and structure particularly in the Tanzania part of the Lake is limited. Therefore, the assessment of the genetic diversity and structure of O.microcephalum along the Lake Nyasa part of Tanzania was conducted in the current study using a fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene from 92 individuals of O. microcephalum. The findings showed that an average haplotype diversity and average nucleotide diversity were 0.8065 ± 0.0314 and 0.002380 ± 0.001640, respectively. The molecular Variance (AMOVA) indicated significant genetic variations among the subpopulations studied (Overall Φst = 0.31560, p < 0.001). The lowest haplotype diversity was recorded at Manda and the highest haplotype diversity was recorded at Buloma. The lowest nucleotide diversity was recorded at Manda and the highest was recorded at Lupingu. The differences in genetic diversity can be a possible indicator of different localised evolutionary forces that require attention to conservationists for the sustainable management of O. microcephalum.

High Voltage Electrocution
A freshman student was reportedly electrocuted by accessing an electrical vault located on the campus of a major university. An autopsy indicated there was an electrical entrance wound on the left ring-finger where high voltage electricity entered the body and electrical exit wounds in the left arm and left thigh.
Rimkus was retained to conduct an investigation to evaluate compliance of the electrical vault with applicable codes, the student's means of accessing the electrical vault, and the manner in which the student's body came to rest in its final position. Our scope of work included the following.
- Conducted on-site inspection of the electrical vault and surrounding areas.
- Analyzed witness accounts on the day of student's disappearance.
- Examined interviews with maintenance and building engineering staff members.
- Conducted detailed chronology of the student's activities and events.
- Diagrammed site plan, building access points, and travel-ways.
- Evaluated the general configuration of the area surrounding electrical vault, as well as exterior accommodations for accessing vault.
- Performed an in-depth examination of the design, construction, and installation of electrical vault, transformers, and electrical components, as well as applicable rules, regulations, and safety requirements.
- Examined the design, construction, operation, and condition of the exterior doors, hardware-sets, and locking mechanisms leading to the vault.
- After the FBI examined the vault door hardware-set for evidence of tampering or damage, Rimkus analyzed and tested the hardware-set to determine adequacy of design, adequacy of installation, and the amount of force that would be required to pull it open while it was locked and the bolt was fully engaged. We then tested the hardware-set with the bolt fully disengaged.
- Analyzed student's route to final position, wounds, body position, and manner of electrocution due to high voltage.

Abstract:
(Joint work with D. Novikov, B. Shapiro)
In his famous Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873) J.C. Maxwell considered the following problem: How many equilibrium points a potential of n fixed point charges in R^3 may have? Maxwell applied Morse theory (developed 50 years later) to approach this problem. He claimed that there should be at most (n-1)^2 equilibrium points. In a footnote to the third edition (1891) of the Maxwell's book, J.J. Thomson stated that he could not find any proof of this. In the talk, recent progress in this direction will be reported, based on fewnomial theory and Voronoi diagrams.
