Mathematica Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Mathematica. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I'm not a math-guy really (a programmer actually) and this is my first question. And excuse me if I can not explain my problem good.
The problem is I have a sequence of integers and I want to detect if they are consecutive or not. e.g.
a1 = {1, 2, 3, 4} (* consecutive *)
a2 = {0, 1} (* consecutive *)
a3 = {0, 1, 2, 4} (* non-consecutive *)
a4 = {3, 4, 5, 6} (* consecutive *)
a5 = {3, 5, 6, 7} (* non-consecutive *)
a6 = {2, 3, 4} (* consecutive *)
The numbers come from a list's indexes that a user selected in UI. Actually I want to see if he selects a consecutive rows or not. Is there any way (sure there is :)) to check this without walking through all items in the list? I mean for example by using the first and last number in the list etc?
Update:
Note:
The numbers:
 1. they are integers,
 2. they are ascending,
 3. no repeats

IF you can assume 1) they are integers, 2) they are ascending, and 3) no repeats, THEN your last idea should work
Last[list]-First[list]==Length[list]-1
Or you could
Union[Differences[list]]=={1}
Without assumptions (2) and (3):
Union[Differences[Sort[list]]]=={1}

+1 or the code when the assumptions hold. – Jacob Akkerboom Dec 21 '13 at 13:16

+1 Excellent thanks a lot – Javad_Amiry Dec 21 '13 at 15:54

On second thought, I kind of dislike the formulation of the assumptions. That we are concerned with integers is explicitly specified by the OP. Furthermore, there seems to be a mix up between what is the desired result and what we can assume about the input list. If the desired result is for a list like {1,1} we should give true, then the code with Last, First and Length is useless. If not, then it will yield the right result whenever the list is non-decreasing, that is it works even if there are repeats. In this case you give False for {1,1} as desired. – Jacob Akkerboom Dec 21 '13 at 17:09
Simply subtract sum of both edges:
ConsecutiveQ[list_] :=
 Last[list] (Last[list] + 1)/2 - (First[list] - 1) First[list]/2 ==
 Total[list]
Test:
ConsecutiveQ /@ {a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6}
{True, True, False, True, False, True}
share|improve this answer

This doesn't work. For example, ConsecutiveQ[{1, 3, 3, 3, 5}] and ConsecutiveQ[{1, 1, 4, 4, 5}] return True, as will any five element sequence {1, a, b, c, 5} for which a + b + c = 9 (=2 + 3 + 4) – Aky Dec 21 '13 at 19:35

I should mention here that my previous comment doesn't hold if we make the assumptions in the update posted (a short while ago) by OP in his question. (Although in that case there are much simpler ways of testing, as already indicated in other answers.) – Aky Dec 21 '13 at 21:53
From Stack Overflow: How to test if a list contains consecutive integers in Mathematica?
See rcollyer's comparative timings.
My concise form of belisarius's method from that thread was:
Range[##, Sign[#2 - #]]& @@ #[[{1, -1}]] == # &;
It checks for consecutive numbers in either direction. It however will consume memory our outright fail in the case where the first and last values in the test list are far apart because of the Range generation:
Range[##, Sign[#2 - #]]& @@ #[[{1, -1}]] == # &[{1, 2, 1*^50}]
Range::range: Range specification in Range[1,100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,1] does not have appropriate bounds. >>
Here is an updated approach that does some sanity checks first:
consecutiveQ[x : {first_, ___, last_}] :=
 And[
 Min[x] == first,
 Max[x] == last,
 Length[x] == last - first + 1,
 Range[first, last] == x
 ]
consecutiveQ /@ {a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6}
{True, True, False, True, False, True}
It only check for forward-increasing sequences as that is what is shown in this question. It could be easily adapted for backward sequences as well if needed.
If your valid input lists will always contain integers you could add the condition:
VectorQ[x, IntegerQ]
Otherwise as written the the test will return True for e.g. consecutiveQ[{7., 8., 9.}].

Very clean, and I can't think of anything wrong with it at the moment. Theoretically it will be a bit slower on long lists that would be eliminated by one of my "sanity checks" but it probably doesn't matter in practice. – Mr.Wizard Dec 21 '13 at 13:57

Very nice, and likely very fast. – David Carraher Dec 21 '13 at 16:44
Method 1
How about simply…?
 consecQ[a_]:= a===Range[a[[1]],a[[-1]]]
This is based on the assumption that the Mathematica can handle the Range size.
Testing
consecQ[{0, 3, 2, 1, 4}]
False
consecQ[{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}]
True
Method2
@A.G. notes that the following can be used if one is concerned about the length of list.
If[Last@a - First@a == Length[a] - 1, a == Range[First@a, Last@a], False]
The idea is to first check whether the length of the list is consistent with the first and last elements.
Method 3
This may not be efficient, but it does the job.
Assuming that the list consists of integers.
consecQ2[a_] := Union[Differences[a]] == {1}
Testing
consecQ2[{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}]
consecQ2[{0, 3, 2, 1, 4}]
consecQ2[{4, 3, 2, 1, 0}]
True
False
False

The problem with this is noted in my answer; if the difference between the first and last element is large you may hang your machine. – Mr.Wizard Dec 21 '13 at 13:51

Call me insane, but it's not something I worry about. – David Carraher Dec 21 '13 at 13:54

If you don't mind, why not? There is no specific constraint on the size of the last integer in the list, so it seems like a valid concern. – Mr.Wizard Dec 21 '13 at 13:58

It is generally the case that Mathematica can not handle numbers or list lengths beyond certain limits. By default, I prefer to look for a simple solution within these constraints. If I were a NASA engineer or a microchip designer, I would probably take a different stance. – David Carraher Dec 21 '13 at 14:05
1
@Mr.Wizard There is an implicit constraint in that the OP said that the indices come from selections a user makes in a UI. Now if you want to argue that the UI might have $10^{10}$ rows and we need to optimize for that, then that's silly. – R. M. Dec 21 '13 at 17


Take the 2-minute tour ×
I wonder if the following is possible:
I have a dll that I have referenced in my web site. This dll makes a remote socket connection. The socket connection is waiting in the background and the dll reports back data through events after the socket has received some data.
The connection is opened during load of page.
Now, I would, for example, like to update a label on the page when new data has arrived.
I am not sure how this would work. I assume that I could set some kind of timer on page that updates a control but it does not seem "optimal" as I already call code behind through my events. "Optimally" the UpdatePanel or whatever updates the interface would wait for events and "update" when events has occurred and not based on time.
My question is - is this possible?
share|improve this question
It's easier to load the page on the client then initiate the call to the server via AJAX, letting the page method wait (the page has loaded but you could display a little "loading" symbol somewhere) and then, when it receives the response from the server, update. This is a good use case for Page Methods - see ajax.asp.net/docs/tutorials/…. Once your original page has been delivered, you shouldn't really have anything in it to keep it alive on the web form/code behind side - it should be request-response based. – dash Feb 24 '12 at 13:03

You can use techniques called "long pulling" or "web sockets".
There are libraries, like SignalR that can help you.
They generally use web sockets when client's browser supports and long pulling when not.
Using these libraries you can "push" commands/data from server to client's browser, just as you want.

Server cannot push the client, this is the rule how web works. There are two possible ways to complete your task.
 1. Put timer on the page and make requests on server too see, if something changed
 2. Open long pulling connection between client and server, like facebook does. That listens
 to the events and gets data from the server. It can be, for example xmpp or any other.

You should think about turning this around; rather than initiate the call from the code behind asynchronously and then update the client, you should deliver your original page to the client.
Once the page has been loaded client side, you can make an AJAX call to the server to retrieve the data you want - and display a little "I'm loading" symbol while this happens.
Page Methods are ideal for this.
The classic ASP.Net web page is supposed to last for the duration of the users request. When a postback happens, it effectively rebuilds the state of the call from the user's viewstate, session and any other state you've maintained. It never cares if the user goes away, for example (although it might feel a bit lonely).
Having it hang around for longer is problematic in a number of ways, however, you can implement client callbacks. However, although the server initiates this, the client manages the lifecycle, so it's analogous to page methods.

If you live near a major roadway, you may want to pay close attention. A new study has found a link between the onset of dementia and the proximity of your residence to highway traffic.
It's no secret that common air pollutants, particularly those associated with auto traffic, are bad for our health. But a team of researchers from Public Health Canada wanted to find out how these pollutants affect our brains. For the study, researchers tracked almost 7 million adults between the ages of 20 and 85 who lived in Ontario between 2002 and 2012. Using postal codes, they were able to determine which people lived near major roadways, with "major" defined as the equivalent of an interstate highway based on daily traffic volume. The team then compared this data with each person's medical records, looking specifically for three neurodegenerative conditions — Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and dementia. The team's findings were published in The Lancet.
Researchers didn't find a link between living near a highway and a person's likelihood of developing Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, possibly because the overall likelihood of developing these conditions is so small. But they did find a connection between living near a major roadway and a person's chances of developing dementia.
"There is something different going on with dementia," said Ray Copes, chief of environmental and occupational health at Public Health Ontario and a co-author of the study.
The numbers make the risk clear
Copes and his team found that living within 50 meters (about 164 feet) of a major roadway increased a person's chances of developing dementia by 4 percent. That likelihood decreased as the residential distance from the roadway increased. Those who lived 100 meters (328 feet) away from a major road were 4 percent more likely to develop dementia while those who lived between 101 and 200 meters (as far as a tenth of a mile away,) had an increased risk of 2 percent. Beyond 200 meters, the increase in dementia risk was negligible.
The link between dementia risk and residential proximity to a major roadway held strong even after researchers adjusted for factors such as education, body mass index, smoking or socioeconomic status. Next up, researchers are hoping to determine if there's one particular pollutant that is responsible for the link, or if noise plays a role.

A UK councillor has argued European regulations should support regional and local authorities in the fight against illegal waste shipments.
Basingstoke & Deane BC councillor Paula Baker, who is a member of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), will present her draft opinions on waste shipment during the next session of the CoR's commission on environment, energy and climate change on 5 December.
She called for waste shipment regulations amendments to allow EU member states to present national plans on monitoring waste shipments. These would take the form of co-ordinated plans prepared by regional or local authorities.
Baker will also propose that EU member states periodically publish a bulletin including details of illegal waste activities they have detected so to improve the sharing of information among countries.
The proposed measures will add to the recommendations put forward by rapporteur Bart Staes in a recent report on a tougher waste shipment regime.
Once Baker's draft opinion is discussed in the CoR plenary session in January 2014, the assembly of regional and local representatives will lobby the European Parliament to include the proposals in the amendments to EU legislation on waste shipments, which are currently under discussion.
Barker told MRW that the issue of illegal waste shipment was important for regional authorities across Europe.
"Incidents of illegal waste shipments reported in the press undermine the effort made by local authorities to promote waste collection and recycling," she said.

At present, magnetic connectors are gradually participating in people's lives. Magnetic connectors are trusted and loved by people with their various advantages. Magnetic connectors are divided into types according to their characteristics and application locations: thimble connectors and shrapnel connectors. Both play an important connection role in the process of charging and using, helping users to use the device better, providing great convenience for consumers and users, and allowing them to choose according to their preferences.
The functions of magnetic connectors
Magnetic connectors can achieve excellent high-frequency signal transmission, provide devices with a current of up to 10A for charging, and provide high-speed data transmission to achieve fast charging and other functions. The magnetic suction function can make the appearance design of the product more beautiful. At the same time, it can solve the problem that the charging cable pulls the host (laptop, mobile phone, and other high-end devices) to drop and damage it accidentally.
In the current use of magnetic data cables, many customers ignore the problems that will arise during the connection process. In contrast, Pomagtor magnetic connector can effectively deal with contact resistance and contact arc by using its advantages and technological means to achieve a built-in connection. For example, intelligent power-off protection, plug-free adsorption connection, super magnetic adsorption, and changing the way of the traditional connector and charging transmission are synchronized at the same time, and the waterproof level can reach up to IPX8.
How to properly store and use Pogo Pin connectors
First, when you receive the Pogo Pin connector, you need to check whether the outer package is intact. If the outer package is damaged, you must check whether the Pogo Pin connector is damaged. When using the Pogo Pin connector, you must Ensure it is intact.
Second, the Pogo Pin connector that is not used temporarily needs to be installed and stored correctly rather than being placed randomly. It cannot be placed in a place with sunlight because if the Pogo Pin connector is exposed to the sun, it is easy to. Therefore, it is damaged and cannot be used when it needs to be used.
Third, as mentioned above, the Pogo Pin connector cannot be placed in the sun, and where else can it be placed? Pogo Pin connectors cannot be placed in high-temperature places, humid places, and places with chemicals.
Fourth, when the Pogo Pin connector is in use, even if it exists, no grease objects can appear. The Pogo Pin connector will not work properly if it is contaminated with grease objects.

Raita is a condiment in South Asian cuisine made of dahi (yogurt, often referred to as curd) together with raw or cooked vegetables, more seldom fruit, or in the case of boondi raita, with fried droplets of batter made from besan (chickpea flour, generally labeled as gram flour).
The word raita first appeared in print around the 19th century; it comes from the Hindi language.[1] The word raita in Bengali language and Hindustani is a portmanteau of the Sanskrit word rajika or the derivative Hindustani rai (pronounced "ra-ee") meaning black mustard seed, and tiktaka, meaning sharp or pungent.[2] In South India, especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, traditional raita is called pachadi.

7 Signs That Your Team Needs a Corporate Away Day
Training 6 min read
It can often be difficult for businesses to make the decision to book a corporate away day for their team. You might think that your team isn't perfect, but they're still working to an acceptable standard. To help you identify whether an away day is right for your team, we've put together a list of 8 signs that your team could benefit from a corporate away day.
1. Team members have trouble with communication
One of the first signs that your team needs a corporate away day is that they are either struggling to communicate, or communicating poorly.
signs that your team needs a corporate away day communication
Improve team communication with a corporate away day
Lack of communication often means that wires get crossed and things are frequently misunderstood. Or perhaps due to poor communication, people do not feel comfortable enough to share ideas and contribute to the team.
One way to assess whether the communication in your team needs to improve is to analyse the language used. One sure sign of poor communication is the frequent use of 'no,' or 'but.' If people become defensive about their ideas, they are more likely to shut down the ideas of others with a 'no' or a 'but', causing a breakdown in collaboration and perpetuating a negative environment.
Research shows that negative communication not only creates an uncomfortable office atmosphere, but also leads to lowered employee productivity, increased employee turnover and a less profitable company.
2. Your team struggles with negativity
Another sign that your team needs a corporate away day will come from a persistent negative atmosphere or negative use of language in the workplace.
Perhaps your team are acting selfishly, they are pessimistic, or they are letting negative events outside of the workplace effect their performance and attitude at work. Negativity is particularly damaging as it can be infectious in the workplace. If one employee has a poor attitude, it can quickly spread to the rest of the team.
Negativity in the workplace often leads to absenteeism, poor performance and low morale, all of which impacts on your company's ability to deliver excellent service.
3. There is a persistent lack of clarity
Lack of clarity about the direction of the team, business goals or overall purpose can all contribute to a dysfunctional team.
Do your team meetings frequently take 2 hours rather than 10 minutes? This is a clear sign of lack of clarity within the team. If your team enters a meeting without proper planning, or without clear direction, then meetings are likely to frequently overrun. Lack of clarity also means that team members work in silos. Lack of clarity on common goals can often result in individuals focusing on their own role and responsibilities, with little idea about the roles and importance of others.
All of this not only harms communication and productivity, but also effects employee buy-in. When employees have clarity about the goals, aims and plans of the company, and even better, when they are allowed to become a part of shaping these, they are more likely to engage with work in a long-term, meaningful way.
4. There are frequent frictions between team members
Another one of the signs that your team needs a corporate away day is that there is always 'workplace drama.'
workplace drama signs that your team needs a corporate away day
Workplace drama is one of the clear signs that your team needs a corporate away day
American Society of Employers research into workplace drama shows that workplace drama can affect the company's bottom line. Employee turnover is likely to be high, productivity is likely to be low, and morale is often poor in a volatile, negative office environment.
Of course, you can never expect that all members of your team are going to get on with each other 100% of the time. However, if workplace frictions are a frequent occurrence in your office, you need to take action to resolve this issue.
5. Your team suffers from lack of accountability
Lack of accountability can be one of the clear signs that your team needs a corporate away day.
Lack of accountability can often mean that employees are unable or unwilling to admit to faults. This often makes it difficult to pinpoint why projects are delayed or completed incorrectly. But why does this mean that your team is dysfunctional?
Lack of accountability often comes from a negative team atmosphere in which employees are afraid of the consequences of admitting to a mistake. This can be a sign that your office does not have a structure in place for respectful, constructive criticism and there is a fear of a backlash occurring.
Lack of accountability often leads to delays or failures of projects, low morale, unclear priorities and diminished trust between team members.
6. Your team members aren't engaged
A lack of engagement or lack of motivation among team members can be one of the more difficult issues to notice, but once recognised is one of the most obvious signs that your team needs a corporate away day.
Employees may still be completing work on time and to a satisfactory standard. However, it is important to work out whether your team members are really engaged in the work they're doing, willing to go the extra mile, or whether they are simply completing the bare minimum.
This is detrimental to business as quite simply, disengagement costs you money. Engaged employees are more likely to work harder, complete work to a higher standard, keener to use their initiative and are more likely to remain long-term employees.
7. Team productivity is low
You should definitely consider a corporate away day if the productivity of your team is low or unsatisfactory.
Perhaps employees are struggling to hit their goals and targets, or you find that there is a lot of idle, unproductive time among your teams. Often it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for this, as lack of productivity is usually a long-term, deep-rooted issue.
lack of productivity signs that your team needs a corporate away day
Lack of productivity and engagement means that your team will benefit from an away day
It goes without saying that low productivity affects the bottom line of the business, however it can also lead to low morale and high staff turnover.

The HIPAA safe harbor method is a method of de-identification of protected health information. De-identification is the removal of specific information about a client that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify that client.
What is HIPAA Safe Harbor De-Identification?
Home for Life Design follows the Safe Harbor Provision Guidelines
HIPAA safe harbor de-identification is the process of the removal of specified identifiers of the patient, and of the patient's relatives, household members, and employers.
The requirements of the HIPAA safe harbor de-identification process become fully satisfied if, and only if, after the removal of the specific identifiers, the covered entity has no actual knowledge that the remaining information could be used to identify the patient.
Once protected health information has been de-identified, it is no longer considered to be PHI; as such, there are no longer restrictions on its use or disclosure. By definition, de-identified health information neither identifies nor provides a reasonable basis to identify a patient.

'Singing penis' sets noise record for water insect
Ella Davies at the BBC:
Scientists from France and Scotland recorded the aquatic animal "singing" at up to 99.2 decibels, the equivalent of listening to a loud orchestra play while sitting in the front row.
The insect makes the sound by rubbing its penis against its abdomen in a process known as "stridulation".
Researchers say the song is a courtship display performed to attract a mate.
Micronecta scholtzi are freshwater insects measuring just 2mm that are common across Europe.
The team of biologists and engineering experts recorded the insects using specialist underwater microphones.
On average, the songs of M. scholtzi reached 78.9 decibels, comparable to a passing freight train.

Electric field strength and potential in a charged conducting sphere
The electric field strength inside a conducting charged sphere is zero, but why? In the book it says "that the field lines would link charges of opposite sign in the sphere and such a state of affairs is impossible under static conditions in a conductor." I don't really get this sentence.
And if the electric field strength inside a conducting charged sphere is zero, does it mean that the potential inside it is also zero? Or the electric potential is same as the potential on the surface of the sphere?

If a field line linked two opposing charges, they would accelerate towards one another because they are free to move in a conductor. This acceleration contradicts the assumption that the conditions are static.
Since the electric field is minus the gradient of the electric potential, if there is no electric field then there can be no gradient, ie. the electric potential is uniform over the conducting volume, although not necessarily zero.

VMEDIAN is the jVarfun module of jLab.
 VMEDIAN Median over finite elements along a specified dimension.

 Y=VMEDIAN(X,DIM) takes the median of all finite elements of X along
 dimension DIM.

 [Y1,Y2,...YN]=VMEDIAN(X1,X2,...XN,DIM) also works.

 VMEDIAN(X1,X2,...XN,DIM); with no output arguments overwrites the
 original input variables.

 VMEDIAN, like MATLAB's MEDIAN, defines the median over an even
 number of values to be the average of the two middle elements.

 VMEDIAN uses a fast algorithm which can be several times faster
 than MEDIAN, but unlike MEDIAN, excludes both INFs and NANs.

What is Learning Style?
Learning style refers to the process of efficient acquiring, storing and managing information through learning and teaching based on the individual's style of preference.
Learning style definition
Learning style refers to a process of efficient acquiring, storing and managing information through learning and teaching based on an individual's style of preference.
Learning styles emerged from four different actions: having an experience, reviewing the experience, drawing conclusions from the experience and planning the next steps based on the experience.
Learning style models
1. Converger: for individuals who are prone to abstract concepts, experimentation, practical application of ideas and deductive reasoning.
2. Diverger: includes reflective observation and concrete evidence or experience for individuals who are good at seeing things from a different angle and creative endeavors.
3. Assimilator: for individuals who are good with abstract concepts and reflective observation, inductive reasoning and the use of theoretical models.
4. Accommodator: for individuals who prefer concrete experience and experimentation through engaging with the world to learn rather than study theory.

The Daning River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, is home to some of the Yangtze region's most spectacular scenery, including the Three Little Gorges. The clear blue waters of the Daning sit in stark contrast to the silty brown hue of the Yangtze, and the scenery along the river alternates between sheer cliff walls, verdant hills and the terraced fields of the villages on the banks.
Often shrouded in mist, the cliffs along the river extend thousands of feet in the air. Karst caves along the cliffs hold one of the river's most famous and mysterious relics: the suspended coffins of the ancient Bo minority group.
Archeologists don't know how the wooden coffins were placed into the caves, some more than 1,000 feet (305 kilometers) above the river, but they suspect the action of placing the coffins so high was auspicious and a mark of respect for the dead. Since the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, the water level in the river has risen substantially, making it easier to spot the remaining coffins high up in the cliffs.


Code-first Metadata
This is "code first" in the general sense, not the specific sense of Entity Framework. This has nothing to do with Entity Framework at all, except that team showed us how valuable simple access to code-like metadata is.
Code first is a powerful mechanism for expressing your metadata because code is the most concise way to express many things. There's 60 years of evolution to todays' computer languages being efficient in expressing explicit concepts based on a natural contextualization. You can't get this in JSON, XML or other richer and less-opinionated formats.
Code first is just one approach to getting strong-typed metadata. The keys to the kingdom, the keys to your code, lie in expressing the underlying problems of your code in a strong-typed manner, which you can read about here.
The problem is that the description of the problem is wrapped up with an enormous amount of ceremony about how to do what we're trying to do. Let's look at this in relation to metaprogramming where the goal is generally to reduce ceremony and
Only write the code that only you can write
In other words, don't write any code that isn't part of the minimum definition of the problem, divorced of all technology artifacts.
For example, you can create a SemanticLog definition that you can later output as an EventSource class, or any other kind of log output – even in a different language or on a different platform.
To do this, describe the SemanticLog in the simplest way possible, devoid of technology artifacts.
namespace ConsoleRunT4Example
{
[SemanticLog()]
public class Normal
{
public void Message(string Message) { }
[Event(2)]
public void AccessByPrimaryKey(int PrimaryKey) { }
}
}
Instead of the EventSource version:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics.Tracing;
namespace ConsoleRunT4Example
{
[EventSource(Name = "ConsoleRunT4Example-Normal")]
public sealed partial class Normal : EventSource
{
#region Standard class stuff
// Private constructor blocks direct instantiation of class
private Normal() { }
// Readonly access to cached, lazily created singleton instance
private static readonly Lazy<Normal> _lazyLog =
new Lazy<Normal>(() => new Normal());
public static Normal Log
{
get { return _lazyLog.Value; }
}
// Readonly access to private cached, lazily created singleton inner class instance
private static readonly Lazy<Normal> _lazyInnerlog =
new Lazy<Normal>(() => new Normal());
private static Normal innerLog
{
get { return _lazyInnerlog.Value; }
}
#endregion
#region Your trace event methods
[Event(1)]
public void Message(System.String Message)
{
if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(1, Message);
}
[Event(2)]
public void AccessByPrimaryKey(System.Int32 PrimaryKey)
{
if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(2, PrimaryKey);
}
#endregion
}
}
Writing less code (10 lines instead of 47) because we are lazy is a noble goal. But the broader benefit here is that the first requires very little effort to understand and very little trust about whether the pattern is followed. The second requires much more effort to read the code and ensure that everything in the class is doing what's expected. The meaning of the code requires that you know what an EventSource is.
Code-first allows you to just write the code that only you can write, and leave it to the system to create the rest of the code based on your minimal definition.

Iloilo City is undergoing a significant transformation in its public transportation network with a focus on modernization and sustainability. The city is implementing the Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP), launched in June 2022, to improve public transport services.
Under the LPTRP, Iloilo City is introducing 1,782 modernized jeepneys to replace older models, with 500 units already operating within the city limits. These modernized vehicles are set to follow 17 existing routes, 7 new routes, and 1 enhanced new/developmental route. Restrictions have been placed on traditional jeepneys, limiting their operation to designated terminals in the city to streamline traffic and reduce congestion.
In February 2023, the Western Visayas Transportation Cooperative deployed 95 new modern jeepneys across 13 routes in Iloilo City. These jeepneys offer a host of amenities including air-conditioning, CCTV systems, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a cashless payment system, all while adhering to European emission standards for reduced environmental impact.
Future projects are underway to further revolutionize transportation in Iloilo. The city is in the process of reviewing a proposal for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, envisioned to significantly improve the efficiency of public transportation. The BRT system aims to reduce traffic congestion and provide a fast, reliable, and eco-friendly mode of travel for residents.
In an effort to further modernize the city's transport system, a mobile app-based bike-sharing system is being explored. This initiative will promote a healthy lifestyle and provide a sustainable alternative to motorized transport, potentially alleviating traffic congestion.
The move towards electrification of public transport is gaining momentum with plans to introduce a fleet of electric buses. These buses are expected to be integrated with the proposed BRT system, representing a leap forward in the city's commitment to sustainable and green transport solutions.
The ambitious PHP189 billion Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge project is set to significantly reduce travel times, cutting the current four-hour journey (via ferries/RORO) between Panay and Negros islands to approximately one hour by land. This monumental infrastructure is anticipated to be a catalyst for economic growth and enhanced inter-island connectivity.
A significant upgrade is also on the horizon for the Iloilo International Airport, with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista advocating for its privatization. The goal is to expand the airport's capacity to handle 10 million passengers annually, thereby boosting tourism and spurring economic development in the region.
However, these developments are not without their challenges. The phase-out of traditional jeepneys in favor of modernized alternatives has met with some resistance from drivers and operators.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) are actively supporting displaced drivers through the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). TESDA Director General, Tonisito Umali, announced that 900 scholarship grants have been provided to aid drivers and their beneficiaries, aiming to ensure that the transition to modern vehicles is both fair and inclusive.
Infrastructure limitations also pose a hurdle, with concerns that the current infrastructure may not adequately support a fully modernized system, particularly the proposed BRT.
Moreover, public awareness is a critical aspect of these changes. Ensuring that the public is well-informed about new routes and system upgrades is essential for a smooth transition. The city is therefore investing in public information campaigns to facilitate understanding and cooperation from all stakeholders.
As Iloilo City navigates through these transformations, the collective efforts of government agencies, transport operators, and the public will be paramount in realizing a modern, efficient, and sustainable transportation network for the future.

Sandwiches are a popular and easy-to-make option for meals, especially for people who are always on the go. Whether you're preparing one for a picnic, lunch at work, or a quick snack at home, it's important to know how long a sandwich can sit out before it becomes unsafe to eat.
In this blog post, we will explore the factors that influence how long a sandwich can be left out, and provide some tips on how to keep your sandwiches fresh and safe to consume.
The Two-Hour Rule
As a general rule, perishable foods should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours. This is because harmful bacteria can grow rapidly in foods that are left out in the "danger zone" temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C).
Sandwiches, which often contain perishable ingredients like meat, cheese, and mayonnaise, can quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria if they're left out for too long.
However, there are several factors that can affect how long a sandwich can safely sit out. These include the type of ingredients used, the temperature of the environment, and how the sandwich is stored.
Factors That Can Affect How Long A Sandwich Can Sit Out
The type of ingredients used in a sandwich can greatly impact how long it can be left out without becoming unsafe to eat. Here are some common sandwich ingredients and their relative risks:
- Meat: Deli meats like ham, tuna, turkey, and roast beef are particularly susceptible to bacterial growth. If a sandwich contains meat, it's best to follow the two-hour rule strictly.
- Cheese: Hard cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, and provolone can typically last longer at room temperature than soft cheeses like brie or cream cheese. However, it's still best to follow the two-hour rule for sandwiches containing any type of cheese.
- Vegetables: Fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers can start to wilt and lose their crispness after a few hours at room temperature. While this may not pose a significant health risk, it can affect the overall quality and taste of the sandwich.
- Condiments: Mayonnaise, which is made from eggs, can spoil quickly at room temperature. If a sandwich contains mayonnaise, be sure to keep it refrigerated or on ice until you're ready to eat.
The temperature at which a sandwich is stored can also affect how long it can safely sit out. In general, the warmer the temperature, the faster bacteria will grow.
If you're planning to enjoy your sandwich outdoors, be mindful of the temperature and how it might impact the safety of your food.
On hot summer days, when the temperature is above 90°F (32°C), the safe time for perishable foods like sandwiches is reduced to just one hour. If you're unsure whether a sandwich has been sitting out too long in a warm environment, it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid eating it.
How a sandwich is stored can make a difference in how long it can safely sit out. If a sandwich is wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, it can help slow down bacterial growth by limiting the amount of air that comes into contact with the food.
Additionally, storing a sandwich in an insulated cooler with ice packs can help keep it cold and safe to eat for a longer period of time.
How To Tell If Your Sandwich Has Gone Bad?
It's true that after just a few hours, determining if your sandwich has gone bad can be quite tricky without actually taking a bite! However, trusting your senses can play a crucial role in evaluating the freshness of your sandwich.
Depending on the ingredients, you may be able to detect signs of spoilage through smell or visual cues.
Keep in mind that certain ingredients are more prone to spoilage than others, which can potentially help you assess the freshness of your sandwich. If something seems off, it's always better to err on the side of caution and avoid consuming the sandwich.
Remember, when it comes to food safety, it's better to be safe than sorry!
Tips for Keeping Sandwiches Fresh and Safe to Eat
To ensure that your sandwiches remain fresh and safe to consume, follow these tips:
- Place the sandwich in the Refrigerator: Before making a sandwich, store perishable ingredients like meat, cheese, and mayonnaise in the refrigerator or freezer. This will help slow down bacterial growth and keep your ingredients fresher for longer.
- Use insulated coolers: If you're taking a sandwich with you on the go, pack it in an insulated cooler with ice packs to help keep it cold and safe to eat.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly: Wrapping your sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil can help limit the amount of air that comes into contact with the food, slowing down bacterial growth.
- Store sandwiches separately: If you're packing multiple sandwiches, store them separately so that they don't come into contact with each other. This can help prevent cross-contamination and keep your sandwiches fresher for longer.
- Be mindful of the temperature: Keep an eye on the temperature and be aware of how it might affect your sandwiches.
while the two-hour rule is a good general guideline for how long a sandwich can safely sit out, it's important to consider factors like the type of ingredients used, the temperature of the environment, and how the sandwich is stored.
By following the tips outlined in this blog post, you can help ensure that your sandwiches remain fresh and safe to eat, no matter where you enjoy them.

(Reuters) - Computing networking pioneer Bob Metcalfe on Wednesday won the industry's most prestigious prize for the invention of the Ethernet, a technology that half a century after its creation remains the foundation of the internet.
The Ethernet is the standard connection for everything from servers inside data centers to telecommunications networks.
The Association for Computing Machinery credited Metcalfe, 76, with the Ethernet's "invention, standardization, and commercialization" in conferring its 2022 Turing Award, known as the Nobel prize of computing. It comes with a $1 million prize thanks to backing from Alphabet Inc's Google.
The Ethernet got its start when Metcalfe, who later went on to co-found computing network equipment maker 3Com, was asked to hook up the office printer.
In the early 1970s, he worked at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, which had invented the personal computer and also a laser printer. Metcalfe sketched out a networking approach that would excel at connecting them together in way that could expand smoothly as the number of computers in the network rose - which helped pave the way for the internet.

Many Oklahomans forget the importance of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS). The 445-mile inland waterway system begins at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, running through Oklahoma and Arkansas all the way to the Mississippi River.
The system was authorized by the 1946 Rivers and Harbors Act, but Congress didn't appropriate the $1.2 billion until 1956. Robert S. Kerr (D-OK) and John L. McClellan (D-AR) pioneered the development of the system, giving it the name it has today. MKARNS officially opened in December 1970 and is operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Professionals in most of the industries today use beam trolly to move heavy objects horizontally along a beam. You can find a steel beam trolley or other options to as per your need. Actually, a steel type of beam trolley is a device that gets used to move heavy loads, like steal, beams, along an overhead track or even rail.
The trolley is made up of or consists of a frame that is simply mounted on wheels and is designed in a way that you can roll it along the track. The load is attached to the trolley frame that is then moved manually or even with a hoist or crane.
Steel type of beam trolleys are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and even material handling applications where heavy loads required to be moved from one location to even another within a facility. They are even get used in maintenance and repair applications in which heavy loads need to be lifted and even transported to a work space or area.
Moreover, the usage of a steel type of beam trolley helps to reduce manual handling and even improve safety in heavy load handling tasks and operations. The trolley offers a stable platform for the load, even permitting it to be easily moved without the requirement for manual lifting or even handling, reducing the danger of injury to workers. Additionally, the trolley can even get equipped with locking mechanisms to make sure that the load stays securely in place during overall transportation. Anyhow, the following are some points that show you why you must use these beam trollies.
A beam trolley is going to permit heavy objects to be moved easily and even efficiently along a beam. Hence, it simply reduces the need for manual lifting and even carrying.
Beam trolleys can really be easily adjusted along the length of the beam, offering flexibility in moving objects to diverse types of locations. Hence, the level of flexibility you get in these beam trolleys is matchless.
Beam trolleys are definitely designed to withstand heavy use and are most of the times made of high-quality materials, ensuring their durability over overall time.
By making use of a beam trolley, heavy objects can get moved safely and securely, minimizing the danger of injury or even damage to the object getting moved. Of course, if you want that the tasks get performed properly in your space and that too without any safety issues; use these trolleys for sure.
A Cost-effective option
Beam trolleys are most of the times less expensive than other types of lifting equipment, making them a clear cost-effective solution for moving heavy objects. When you compare them to others, you yourself would find a good amount of money saving as well as effectivity.

Numbers in a fields or variable will always contains a value. 4D does not have a null value for numbers. The number 0 (zero) is considered a value. One consequence for this is that a number will always display with a value.
On the other had, if an alpha field has a value of no characters, it will displayed as blank. If you want to display a "numeric" field with no characters displayed when the number has a value of 0, it is possible to display the number in an alpha field. This is done by simply by converting the data to a string.
An example of code to do this is:
Note, the number data types 4D supports are, Integer, Long Integer and Real.

Virtual Instrumentation of a Soil Bin for Improved Precision 1999-01-2825
The existing instrumentation of a soil bin was retrofitted with virtual instrumentation techniques to achieve improved repeatability and more precise measurements. Current-loop sensors were added to the prime mover for improved speed control. Soil preparation operations were instrumented to determine penetrometer forces as a function of soil penetration depth, soil surface smoothness, compaction force, and soil surface elevation. Test hitch-points for agricultural implements were instrumented with wheatstone bridge force transducers. Implement depth was found with ratiometric linear transducers. Distance and speed determinations utilized an optical encoder with a resolution of 3.0 × 10-4 m. Temperature measurements were also recorded with solid state current transducers.

Wood is an excellent material for container gardens because it lets the plant roots breathe and it is relatively light weight. You can also make your own containers to whatever size you like. The wood will deteriorate after several years, however, so wooden planters are best used for shorter lived plants rather than trees or shrubs which you will keep planted for many years. Making your planter from redwood or cedar will make it longer lived, as these woods resist insects and wood rot.
Here are instructions for making a 12 x 12 x 12 inch planter. It can be easily modified to make whatever size planter you like: some suggestions for making larger or smaller planters are included at the end of this article.
Wood saw (hand or power)
note some hardware/lumber stores will cut wood for you for a small fee
Drill and 1/2 to 3/4 drill bit
T or L square (for making sure your corners are square and sides straight)
Miter box (for making straight cuts)
Workbench with vise or clamp (to hold wood as you cut or join together)
20 or more nails, 2 to 2 1/2" long (6d to 8d size)
8 or more nails, 1 1/2" long (4d size)
50 or more finishing nails
4 feet of redwood or cedar 2x2 board, cut to about 10.5 long (see Making the Base, below)
(note, these 2x2 will actually be about 1.5 x 1.5, as the wood is cut to 2x2 and then finished so that it is smooth)
8 1/2 feet of redwood or cedar 1x2 board (actually about 1/2 x 1 1/2), four cut into 12 long sections, four cut 13 long
4 feet of redwood or cedar 1x1" board (about 1/2 x 1/2") cut to 12" lengths
10 feet of redwood or cedar fence board, 6 wide, cut into ten 12 long sections
Making the Base
Measure the width of your 2x2 board. Cut four lengths, each 12 minus the width. For example, if your board is 1 1/2 wide, cut four lengths 10 1/2 long.
Lay out your four pieces so they form a 12 square, with one end of each length overlapping the next going around the square.
Nail the square together, using one 2 or 2 1/2" nail at each corner, going through the overlapping section into the board next to it.
Making the Bottom
Cut two 12 long sections of the fence board for the bottom of the planter. If the fence boards have the corners cut off the tops, you can use these pieces for the bottom since they won't show and they'll be supported by the base.
Lay these fence board sections over the base, matching up edges and corners. Use 8 of the 1 ½ inch nails to attach to the base, four for each board (two along the edge and one at each end). Note: you can use more nails if you like for a more secure fit.
Drill five 1/2 to 3/4 holes for drainage, one in the center and one near each corner.
Making the Sides
Place a 12 fence board section on one edge of the base, even with the bottom and corner, to form the start of one of the four sides of your planter. Place one of the 12 1x2 sections on top of it at the base, and nail through both boards to the base board using a 2 nail about 1 from the corner. Now hammer a second 2" nail through both boards to the base about 1 from the other edge of the fence board. Place a second fence board next to the first (and between the base and the 1x2) and hammer through both boards to the base in two places 1 from either edge, just like the first.
Turn over, and on the opposite side nail in two more fence boards to the base with a 12 1x2 section on top, using the 2" nails.
For the remaining two sides in between, hammer together as the first two but using the 13 long 1x2 sections, overlapping with the first two at the corners. Use finishing nails at the corners to secure the 1x2 to each other for a tight fit.
Finishing the Top
Using two of the 12 long 1x2 boards, nail them along the top outside edge of the fence boards using the finishing nails, above where you used the 12 long boards along the base. Nail the remaining 13 long 1x2 boards on the opposite outside edges, overlapping the corners. Use finishing nails at the corners to nail the 1x2 to each other, making a strong corner and a more finished look.
Note: placing a 2x4 or 4x4, a tool box, or something else substantial against the edge inside the container will make hammering the top and corners much easier.
Place one 1x1 section inside each corner for additional strength. Hammer at least two finishing nails per each side of the corners through from the outside into the 1x1, about 3" from the top and bottom.
You can paint or oil your planter box on the outside for a more finished look. Decorate it with rope or macramι cord tied around it, or add wooden cut-outs or flower decals available from craft stores. Experiment and make the container uniquely yours.
To Make a Different Size Planter Box
The same basic design can be used for smaller or larger planters.
For a small planter you can use 1x1 boards for the base and ½ x 1 for the edge boards, using smaller and shorter nails.
For a really large planter use 2x4 or 4x4 for your base boards and 2x4 for your edge boards, with 2x2 reinforcing the inside of your corners. You may want to use boards thicker than fence boards for your sides, or reinforce the sides with additional 2x4 in the middle and at the corners.

Using Office Simulation Software in Teaching Computer Literacy Using Three Sets of Teaching/Learning Activities
Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology • Volume 13 • 2016 • pp. 079-088
The most common course delivery model is based on teacher (knowledge provider) - student (knowledge receiver) relationship. The most visible symptom of this situation is over-reliance on textbook's tutorials. This traditional model of delivery reduces teacher flexibility, causes lack of interest among students, and often makes classes boring. Especially this is visible when teaching Computer Literacy courses. Instead, authors of this paper suggest a new active model which is based on MS Office simulation. The proposed model was discussed within the framework of three activities: guided software simulation, instructor-led activities, and self-directed learning activities. The model proposed in the paper of active teaching based on software simulation was proven as more effective than traditional.

Mac's and serial TTY's (Using usb to serial adapter with MAC)
It's not actually necessary to download an install extra software, as you can use the Mac OS X built in Terminal and screen. Screen lacks some features, but it does include VT100/ANSI terminal emulation, and can be extremely useful.
- Open an OS X terminal session (window)
- Find the right TTY device. Type:
With the USB-Serial adapter plugged in, you'll get a list, including something like this:
$ ls /dev/cu.* /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/cu.iPhone-WirelessiAP /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync /dev/cu.usbserial
- Then type:
screen /dev/cu.usbserial 9600(in this example).
- The 9600 at the end is the baud rate. You can use any standard rate,
- eg, 9600, or 19200 for a Sig Server!

ECS - High vacuum dedusting filter units
The ECS series dust collectors are suitable for pneumatic conveying and central vacuuming in industrial environments. Their robust construction makes them the first choice for demanding applications requiring high vacuum and/or explosion protection.
The ECS dust collectors can be used in applications where the airflows are in the range up to 3,000 m3/h and the system pressure is between -50 kPa (negative pressure) and 200 kPa (positive pressure).
Thanks to their modular design, two-stage filtration, three sizes and optional equipment, ECS dust collectors can meet different filtration and functionality requirements. If the characteristics of the production process (subject to a risk assessment) require additional explosion protection, various options for external explosion protection can be selected.
Depending on the type of dust and other impurities in the extracted air, primary filter cartridges made of different filter materials are available. Filter media for secondary filter elements in HEPA efficiency level or with activated carbon are recommended.
For special applications, an optional ROTATRONIC Control system can be used for advanced monitoring and control. It provides comprehensive control with maximum energy efficiency and constant suction power.

Identity Resolution Use-Cases
The Personas Identity Resolution feature helps to create a unified view of the user across devices, apps, and unique identifiers. Identity resolution is critical to understanding the customer journey at multiple touch points, which allows brands to deliver personalized experiences to its customers at scale.
Anonymous to Known Identification
Identity Resolution allows a company to link a customer's journey from pre-account creation to post-account activity. This is important to help a brand understand the behaviors that lead a user to convert from a window shopper in the discovery stage to a buyer with intent in the consideration and decision stage to the loyal return customer in the conversion and retention stage.
By linking any anonymous events a user had before creating an account to a user's logged-in activity, a marketing team can now have a complete understanding of a user's past interactions with your app.
This can lead to invaluable insights around the behaviors and triggers in an app that motivate a user to register for an account.
Cross-Device Identification
Users can have multiple touch points with an app ecosystem through more than one device. For example, users might view an eCommerce site through a mobile native app, a mobile web browser or a desktop web browser.
By tracking a user's activity across all platforms, brands will be able to more efficiently target campaigns to users as they'll have the knowledge of funnels that complete across devices.
For example, a user who adds a product to a cart on the iPhone app but completes the checkout on the Android app should not be targeted with abandoned cart push notifications on the iPhone app.
Cross-App Identification
A company's product ecosystem may also spread out across multiple apps.
If a company needs to understand a user's activity across all apps, we recommend connecting all sources to the same Personas space. This will give a comprehensive view of a user's activity across the entire app ecosystem.
If, however, each app should maintain its own metrics and LTV analysis, regardless of the overlap of users between apps, we recommend creating a separate Personas space per app and only connecting sources related to each app to its space. This will give a siloed view of how users interact with each individual app.
Note: Each workspace has two spaces by default. Contact your CSM to enable additional spaces.
For an eCommerce example, see here
Cross-Channel Identification
A user can interact with a brand through multiple channels and departments. A user might have touch points with a sales team, a marketing team and a customer support team throughout her customer journey. It's important for companies to have insights into these cross-functional activities to ensure they understand the complete customer experience.
For example, if a user has logged a complaint with a customer support team, the marketing team should exclude this user from an automatic follow-up email asking for her to leave a public product review on their site.

Wedding photographer in Agropoli
The wedding photography service in the ancient seaside city
The wedding photographer in Agropoli has an immense choice of views, monuments, and characteristic corners that the scenery offers. The castle, standing on the promontory, almost blending in with the old town; the entrance gate to the historic center, which every summer sees thousands of tourists fascinated by the fantastic view from above.
The history of Agropoli has often intertwined with that of nearby Paestum and the entire Cilento area. Since ancient Greece, Agropoli was probably a port for the neighboring Greek city. It was fiercely contested by the populations of the time, who also built fortifications to launch their attacks. During the Middle Ages, it came under the control of the Church. It subsequently passed into the possession of different noble families before becoming part of the Kingdom of Italy. The long history of Agropoli is evidenced by its rich architectural presence, such as the Castle of Agropoli. A characteristic feature of the old town is the staircase that leads to the historic center of Agropoli, which requires passing under a fortified gate. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city's gulf.

The Brandenburg-Prussian Superior Board of Mines in Berlin Responsibilities, Tasks and Leading Personalities from 1810 to 1838
The fact that the Brandenburg-Prussian Superior Board of Mines or the Superior Board of Mines for the Provinces of Brandenburg and Prussia only existed for 28 years is probably why this authority has failed to receive the credit it deserved for its work in more recent histories of mining administration. Nevertheless, the establishment of this now virtually forgotten Superior Board of Mines in 1810 can be regarded as a result of the Stein-Hardenberg administrative reforms. To demonstrate this, the article begins with a brief review of the mining laws and the administration of the Prussian mining industry towards the end of the 18th century.
The report then describes in detail what led to the establishment of this provincial authority and how its responsibilities changed over the years from its foundation in 1810 to its dissolution in 1838. A close look is also taken at the Board's staff, in particular the long-standing head of the Board and subsequent Director of Mines, Hans Otto Philipp Martin. Before he took over the management of die Silesian Superior Board of Mines in 1833, he fought in the mid-1820s for the survival of the Brandenburg-Prussian Board, which was already doubtful only 15 years after its establishment. In the end, however, he was unable to prevent the Superior Board of Mines for Brandenburg and Prussia having to hand over its work to the Berlin Superior Mining Directorate and other subordinate authorities. It was finally dissolved in 1838.


What is the only physical difference between heavy water and pure water?
heavy water has greater density
heavy water is radioactive
heavy water is not translucent
heavy water conducts electricity
Heavy water contains deuterium instead of common hydrogen-1. In its pure form it has a density about 11% greater than water, but otherwise, it is physically and chemically similar. It is not radioactive. Because of greater density and stronger hydrogen-oxygen bonds, its behavior is slightly different in some biochemical reactions. It may be toxic, but only when a large fraction of water (> 50%) in higher organisms is replaced by heavy water.

Questions for the Angels
Dear Trudy and Barbara,
Here are two questions I have for the angels.
1. Why are people allergic to animals especially cats when we are supposed to love all things? People who are allergic cannot pick up or touch cats, which seem unloving. Can we get rid of this allergy?
2. I know you've spoken about numbers, but what about colors? Within the last week I've had two people tell me their sisters' favorite color was purple and also found out my friend's favorite color is purple. I know when we hear comments repeatedly, especially within such a short time it is suppose to mean something. Is the color purple symbolic for something?
And thank you so much for the newsletters. It's the one communication I get that always uplifts me.
From the Angels:
1. Being a human often has its physical drawbacks. Allergies are such a thing. There are many metaphysical reasons for them. Sometimes they are caused by a past-life memory, a sensitivity, or an imbalance. Whatever it is, loving has nothing to do with it. If you are allergic to something, it doesnít mean you canít love it, it means you canít eat, handle, or surround yourself with the essence of the allergen. Why not try to surround your pet with loving thoughts and ask it why you are allergic to it. That might teach you many things. Also, you can get rid of allergies, if you change your body patterns and how your thoughts relate to that particular problem. (B&T suggest: We suggest you go to the website _URL_ and read about that technique. It has worked for many in our family.)
2. Colors are as interesting as numbers. Find a book on Chakras and what the colors mean for different energy points in your body. Those colors will often coincide with what your favorite color is in some way. Purple is the color of the crown charka and indicates spiritual connection.

Mean time to repair
Mean time to repair (MTTR) is a basic measure of the maintainability of repairable items. It represents the average time required to repair a failed component or device. Expressed mathematically, it is the total corrective maintenance time for failures divided by the total number of corrective maintenance actions for failures during a given period of time. It generally does not include lead time for parts not readily available or other Administrative or Logistic Downtime (ALDT).
In fault-tolerant design, MTTR is usually considered to also include the time the fault is latent (the time from when the failure occurs until it is detected). If a latent fault goes undetected until an independent failure occurs, the system may not be able to recover.
MTTR is often part of a maintenance contract, where a system whose MTTR is 24 hours is generally more valuable than for one of 7 days if mean time between failures is equal, because its Operational Availability is higher.
However, in the context of a maintenance contract, it would be important to distinguish whether MTTR is meant to be a measure of the mean time between the point at which the failure is first discovered until the point at which the equipment returns to operation (usually termed "mean time to recovery"), or only a measure of the elapsed time between the point where repairs actually begin until the point at which the equipment returns to operation (usually termed "mean time to repair"). For example, a system with a service contract guaranteeing a mean time to "repair" of 24 hours, but with additional part lead times, administrative delays, and technician transportation delays adding up to a mean of 6 days, would not be any more attractive than another system with a service contract guaranteeing a mean time to "recovery" of 7 days.

|MadSci Network: Development|
Hi Becky, That is a very interesting question and at first it doesn't seem to make sense that the answer could be yes. But the answer is yes, children have more bones than adults. Why is that? If you have a baby brother or sister, or if you have friends who have baby brothers or sisters (about 1 or 2 years old)you may have been told not to push on the "soft spot" on the baby's head. If you try to find that "soft spot" on your head or your friends' heads, it is not there. You see, as babies get older, that "soft spot" disappears. There is no magic about it, what happens is that as bones of the skull develop they start out as several bony segments and eventually fuse into a single bone. So, while the top of the skull in the adult is composed of 4 bones, in a new born there may be as many as 8 separate bone segments (depending on the age of the baby and the manner in which those bones develop). Another way that kids have more bones than adults is due to a cartilage known as the "epiphyseal plate." This is also known as the "growth plate" and every long bone, such as the humerus (the bone of the arm) has an epiphyseal plate at each end. The rounded parts of the long bone than are separated from the long part (shaft or diaphysis) of the long bone. So in an adult the humerus is a single bone, composed of a shaft (diaphysis) and two heads (epiphyses), all fused into a single bone. However, in a growing child the humerus is composed of three distinct, separate bones, the diaphysis and the two epiphyses. So the adult has a right and a left humerus (= 2 bones) whereas the child has two epiphyses and a diaphysis on the right side and two epiphyses and a diaphysis on the left side (=6 bones). But when the child stops growing, the epiphyses will fuse with the diaphysis and then that child will also have 2 bones rather than six. I hope you don't mind that the answer is so long, but it is the story of a long bone, isn't it? Good luck in school. Leslie Gartner Anatomy, OCBS Dental School University of Maryland Baltimore, MD

Che Guevara Net Worth:
$50 Thousand
Che Guevara Net Worth: Che Guevara was an Argentine revolutionary, physician, author, diplomat, and military theorist who had a net worth of $50 thousand. Ernesto Guevara was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina in June 1928. Guevara played a major part in the Cuban Revolution. His image is often used as a counterculture symbol of rebellion in popular culture. Che traveled throughout South America as a medical student. What he saw led him to get involved in Guatemala's social reforms. In Mexico City Guevara met Raul and Fidel Castro and joined their 26th of July Movement. He played a crucial role in a two year guerilla campaign to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. He served in the new Cuban government. He worked as minister of industries, helped head a literacy campaign, served as national bank president for Cuba's armed forces, trained militia forces, and brought Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba. As a writer Che composed a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare and a best-selling memoir. He left Cuba in 1965 and tried to lead revolutions in Congo-Kinshasa and Bolivia. He was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. The Maryland Institute College of Art named a photo of Che titled Guerrillero Heroico the "most famous photograph in the world". Che married Aleida March in 1959 and was previously married to Hilda Gadea. He had five children. Guevara was captured by CIA assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed on October 9, 1967 at the age of 39. In 2008, his life and work as a revolutionary was turned into a two-part film from director Steven Soderbergh, starring Benicio del Toro as Guevara. The first part, The Argentine, details his involvement with the Cuban revolution and Fidel Castro, while the second part, entitled Guerilla, deals with his time as guerilla fighter in Bolivia.

We celebrate the Ignobel Prizes once again, and this year we take a deep dive into the Physics prize for 2020. Faraday waves (standing waves in liquids or liquid filled objects) look pretty, but can anything filled with like have one? What about a worm? Can you make Faraday waves and resonant frequencies in Worms? What happens when a laser, a worm, and a speaker go into a lab? The result is an Ignobel Prize.

Advanced Python field calculator is one of the numerous tools in Sextante for QGIS. It's extremely powerful but it doesn't use the syntax of QGIS' default field calculator (the one you can access via attribute table). Therefore, here comes a short introduction:
If you want to reproduce this example, I used a dataset of town areas from the new open government data site of Lower Austria.
The upper half of the Advanced Python field calculator is rather self-explanatory but the lower half is where it gets interesting: Code in the global expression section will be executed only once before the calculator starts iterating through all the features of the input layer. Therefore, this is the correct place to import necessary modules or to calculate variables that will be used in subsequent calculations. Code in the formula section will be evaluated for each feature in the input layer. As shown in the following example, this is where we can calculate new values, e.g. the area of the polygons in km²:
As you can see, the feature geometry can be accessed using
If you want to access an existing attribute, that's possible using
Anyway, this is the resulting layer's attribute table including the new areaKM2 field:
Thanks to Victor for pointing me to the documentation of FieldPyculator which Advanced Python field calculator is based on.

Below is a basic overview of StarTip's widgets and how you can take full control over your widget by referencing the local member'self'.
If you want to stop a repeating widget from updating, just use
Do not do self:Update() ;) I may place a safeguard in place to prevent this bomb from occurring.
Let's start with the Text widget.
1 ) First of all, your widget has a name. Reference that with'self.name'.
2 ) Your widget has an error object that will print some message, paying attention to StarTip's set error verboseness. Usage: self.error:Print("Error", 2)
3 ) You can change your widget's code string by referencing'self.value'
4 ) Your widget can have a 'prefix' and a 'postfix'
5 ) Each widget has a'self.color'
6 ) Each widget has a precision, which isn't actually working at the moment. But you should be able to modify how many digits are shown in numeric returns.
7 ) Each widget has an 'align' member, which can be changed by using
WidgetText.ALIGN_LEFT, WidgetText.ALIGN_CENTER, WidgetText.ALIGN_RIGHT, WidgetText.ALIGN_MARQUEE, WidgetText.ALIGN_AUTOMATIC, WidgetText.ALIGN_PINGPONG = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 self.align = WidgetText.ALIGN_LEFT
8 ) Each widget has an 'update' member which is used to adjust how fast the widget updates. Note that setting this value to 0 will stop the timer all together.
9 ) Each widget has a'repeating' member. If false then self:Update() will only be called once once self:Start() is called internally.
10 ) Each widget has a'speed' member. This value is used to determine how fast marquee text will scroll. Note that setting this value to 0 will stop the timer all together.
11 ) Each widget has a 'direction' member.
WidgetText.SCROLL_RIGHT, WidgetText.SCROLL_LEFT = 1, 2 self.direction = WidgetText.SCROLL_RIGHT
12 ) Each widget has a 'cols' member, indicating how many character cells wide the marquee text should be.
13 ) Each widget has a 'dontRtrim' member, indicating whether to trim whitespace to the right of the resulting text or not.
Lastly you can feed self:Init(config) with all new parameters. I don't see this being very useful though. You would have to provide all fields at once.

Proposal for Improving the Performance of Longitudinal Acceleration of a Land Vehicle
The present study introduces a proposal to improve the longitudinal performance of a land vehicle through the adoption of an unusual traction control system. The system is capable of improving the transfer of engine power to the ground and reduces the complexity of the task being performed by the driver. High-performance vehicles are able to achieve high levels of longitudinal acceleration and, sometimes, the power excess leads to the spinoff of the drive wheels, which decrease the ability of the tires to generate force, and consequently the vehicle acceleration. The proposed system acts in addition with the motor control, through the derivation of the motor speed signal, and its control by comparison with a predefined value. The control can delay or even suppress the ignition of the engine. Thus, the rate at which the engine gains speed, and consequently, the rate at which the vehicle accelerates, is limited.
