Calculations of illuminance for a given interior include the portions of Luminous Flux contributed by all simultaneously illuminated luminaires plus the light reflected from the room perimeter (walls, ceiling, floor). Illuminance can be calculated for any given point from the Luminous Intensity of a light source and the Distance between the light source and the illuminated surface.
Horizontal or vertical Illuminance at a given point (point illuminance) can be calculated from Luminous Intensity and the relevant geometrical conditions from the following formulae:
Horizontal illuminance Eh
Vertical illuminance Ev
Cylindrical illuminance Ez
Cylindrical Illuminance Ez is the average of vertical illuminance in all directions (usually 4) around a point (on a vertical axis).

Black spots growing on herbs- basil and oregano
Black spots on the upper leaves of your basil plants could be caused by a fungus, feeding from insects, or could be a response to adverse environmental conditions. If only the upper leaves are affected, I'd suggest trimming them off and watching the plants closely to see if the problem redevelops. Basil responds well to trimming, and likely will grow back thicker and leafier than ever.

Microsoft Azure Search is the default search engine for Sitecore, and is where Sitecore stores the content and analytics indexes. This topic describes:
Keeping costs low
Azure Search costs depend on the number and size of the documents that are ingested into search. If you are using xDB, you can keep your document count low by disabling indexing of anonymous contact data in the Contact Segmentation index.
You must look at the SKU size for your Azure Search solution. Each SKU size has several metric limitations but the main ones you must pay attention to are storage, index count, and document count. When designing your solution, you must keep these metrics in mind and monitor them, otherwise your search costs can grow faster than you might expect. The minimum SKU size you can use with Sitecore Azure Search is S1, this is because the sizes lower than S1 are limiting (for example, Basic only allows 100 fields in an index and Free is limited to three indexes).
There is no way to upgrade your existing Azure Search service to a different tier on the fly, so it is important you plan the right service capacity upfront. When you upgrade or downgrade, you must create a new service and rebuild all of the search indexes in Sitecore.
Understanding API keys
Sitecore communicates with Azure Search through its REST API; all calls to the API use an API key as the sole mechanism for authentication. When you deploy Sitecore with the ARM templates, a key is generated automatically for you and added to the
cloud.search connection string. You can always change the key if you need to and then update the
cloud.search connection string with the new value.
Scaling with Azure Search
Azure Search can scale in two dimensions: Partitions and Replicas. You can increase the number of documents you can store with Partitions, whereas with Replicas, you can achieve high availability and increase queries per second by copying your index to a new instance of the search service. You can use one or both scaling types, depending on your scaling requirements, but keep in mind that if you add an additional scaling type, then you increase your monthly costs. You can read about service administration for Azure Search in the Microsoft Azure portal and about how to scale resource levels for query and indexing workloads in Azure Search.
Monitoring your usage and metrics
Azure Search does not provide any form of traditional logging. However, you can obtain information about your service in the Azure portal on the service dashboard, through notifications, properties, and status messages.
On the dashboard, resource monitoring is limited to the information shown on the service dashboard and the metrics that you can obtain by querying the service. On the service dashboard, in the Usage section, you can quickly determine whether partition resource levels are adequate for your application.
You can use the Azure Search metrics: Search Latency, Search queries per sec., and Throttled queries percentage, to create alerts on the Azure Search and Monitor tabs. You can also create charts on the Monitor tab.
Search traffic analytics is another monitoring tool in Azure Search that gives you visibility of your search service and unlocks insights about your users and their behavior. When you enable this feature, you can copy your search service data to a storage account of your choice. You can process and manipulate this data from your search service logs and aggregated operational metrics, for further analysis.
Refer to the Microsoft Azure documentation website for more information about monitoring, usage, and query metrics in an Azure Search service; enabling and using Search Traffic Analytics; scaling resource levels for query and indexing workloads in Azure Search, and considerations about Azure Search performance and optimization.


usability: shows the security responses with hashing in the interface
My web application requires users to provide secret questions and answers. Users can not choose a question from the predefined ones, but they have to write their own questions and (of course) the answers.
For security reasons, the answers before saving them in the database. => this is when my problem occurs. I want to show the information (questions and answers) to the users in their profile pages, but, since the answers are written with a hash, I can never show them in plain text.
So, the question is: how would you solve this for clarity and good usability?
My current focus is to show the questions and answers in an entry field. If a user has already answered one of the questions, the response entry is disabled and turns gray. The response entry does not contain text. (since it would only contain the "gibberish" hash string) => A user must first make a change in the related question, before being able to edit the response entry.
UX problem secret answers
But I'm not sure, if this is a good usability design and not ambiguous?

Effect on garlic greening and thermal stability of 1-(2′-hydroxybenzene-1′-carboxy-ethyl) pyrrole
- 175 Downloads
1-(2′-Hydroxybenzene-1′-carboxy-ethyl) pyrrole (P-Tyr) was synthesized to study its effect on garlic greening. The puree of freshly harvested garlic bulbs turned green after being soaked in solutions of P-Tyr, and with increasing concentration, the green color of the puree became deeper. The thermal stability of P-Tyr was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the conversion of P-Tyr followed an Arrhenius relationship, where the delta enthalpy (H) and activation energy (Ea) were 399.102 J/g and 82.137 ± 3.243 kJ/mol, respectively. Furthermore, the relationships between the degree of conversion of P-Tyr and time or temperature were reported. This study demonstrated that the evaluated P-Tyr is stable over a wide range of temperatures and time.

QUESTION: You seem to be the only person who distinguishes between a "countertrend reaction" and a "reaction". Can you illustrate the difference?
ANSWER: Reactions are typically 2 to 3 units of time regardless of the level be it daily up to yearly. They are part of the "trend" and normally count as part of the trend cyclically. A Countertrend Reaction is a move that exceeds 3 units of time. This is normally a change cyclically speaking and thus is a separate cycle altogether. This can be easily illustrated by the 1989 Crash in Japan. The decline conformed to our Pi Cycle of 31.4 weeks plus the 8 week Countertrend Reaction.

The COVID19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the daily operations and strategic goals of civil society organisations and the non-profit sector. At the same time, many funders and donors have responded by shifting priorities towards emergency funds and short-term needs.
As vaccines are being rolled out across Europe, it is time to reflect and prepare for what is coming next. The return to what has been before is unlikely.
So how can organisations prepare and strategise for the transition to the post-COVID19 world?
The interactive online discussion panel aims to open a dialogue between donor organisations and activists, civil society and change-making organisations on working together to meet future challenges effectively.
The expert presentations aim to build capacity within civil society to help them prepare and manage the transition successfully.

text: This paper proposes a new control method in the phase-shifted full-bridge converter for the server power supply, which is variable delay time of lagging-leg switches under the light load conditions. By widening the delay time, the switching occurs at the lower drain-source voltage and then switching loss can be reduced under the light load conditions. The voltage stress of synchronous rectifier switches is also reduced. Without additional power devices and side effects at heavy load condition, the higher efficiency under the light load conditions can be obtained. The analysis and experimental results are presented in this paper to confirm the validity of this study.


Pre-mortem exercise
Identify the worst case scenarios earlier on to prevent future headaches
The context
Pre-mortem exercise offers a way to reflect on a project that just finished, discuss what went well and what didn't, and identify learnings for the future. What if the exercise was done before, to anticipate and discuss potential issues earlier on?
Co-design session - Educational Farms project with Regione Lombardia
Suggested approach
Pre-mortem exercise can be used to run a session with the core team of stakeholders at the beginning of a project, ideally during the initial kick-off meeting. The goal of the activity is to project the participants at the end of the project and collaboratively try to answer a simple question: "what went wrong?" by imagining to write the project epitaph.
Value added
Identify possible obstacles and problems at the beginning of the project is a way to avoid or reduce potential catastrophes. The playful approach of the epitaph gives the opportunity to voice unspoken risks and concerns; force the participants to use the past tense to refer to the project helps creating a distance that allows to more easily raise hidden worries.
Thinking ahead
A second step of the session could focus on ideas and recommendations to try to avoid the identified risks, creating a sort of manifesto for the project work that can accompany the team throughout the whole journey.

Efficiency survival level builds on the Core level and makes you:
- More effective in planning
- Improves your time management
- Decreases your energy use, saves calories
- Extends the time you are able to survive
- Improves safety
- Enhances ability to get out or get rescued
Gear in this Level, some examples:
- Personal Survival Blanket – for enhanced safety
- Sven Saw – Small lightweight and very effective
- Personal Survival Tarp – Much faster shelter and is mobile
- Personal Survival Shelter – The most effective personal shelter available
- Speedy Stitcher – For easy lasting repairs to clothing, packs, shelter
- Basic purchased and configured hunting devices
The Efficiency level does not take anything away from the Core, but rather builds upon it, in other words when you build an Efficiency level of gear you don't leave the Core home, the Core is part of both the Efficiency level and the Comfort level. As these levels are built you will see that most items have several uses or purposes or can be used in assistance to another item.
The Efficiency survival items are very critical, particularly if the time out is extended or if conditions are brutal. One of the purposes of this level is to conserve energy, which lessens the quantities of food needed. Every action the body performs causes muscles and organs to burn calories, which of course are obtained from food or energy storage in the body itself. If you have a saw you are able to cut firewood or build shelter while burning much less energy. A byproduct of this conservation is avoidance of exhaustion. A person may build a personal shelter of raw materials in 3 or 4 hours, expending perhaps 1000 calories, or a Personal Survival Tarp or Personal Survival Shelter may provide the same shelter in 15 minutes burning 100 calories.

Migrating your data into Azure Cosmos DB
June 26, 2020 by
In the previous article, Start your journey with Azure Cosmos DB, we provided you with the backpack that helps you to start your journey with Azure Cosmos DB and filled it with detailed information about the Cosmos DB usage benefits, how to create your first Cosmos DB account, create a new database, container, and items and finally how to query the data stored in that container.
In this article, we will show how to migrate a SQL Server database table's data into an Azure Cosmos DB container using the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool and query the migrated data.
Azure Cosmos DB Data Migration Tool
When planning to migrate your data into an Azure Cosmos DB, you need to use the suitable migration tool that supports your Cosmos DB API type. For example, the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool can be used to migrate the data from the SQL API and the Table API, but it does not support migrating data into Mongo DB API and Gremlin API.
Before using the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool, you need to make sure that the Microsoft.NET Framework 4.51 or higher is installed on the machine where you will run the migration tool. Also, if you plan to migrate a huge amount of data into the Cosmos DB container, make sure to increase the throughput in order to migrate the data faster, as the data migration speed depends highly on the throughput amount. You can easily decrease the throughput after completing the data migration operation to eliminate any high costs issue.
A precompiled copy of the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool can be downloaded directly from this page. The downloaded package contains both a command-line version of the data migration tool, as Dt.exe, and a graphical user interface version of that tool, as Dtui.exe, as shown below:
Precompiled version of Cosmos DB DMT
Migrate SQL Data
The Cosmos DB Data Migration tool is an executable tool, which requires no installation to start the migration process. So, to launch the Data Migration tool, double-click on the executable file of the tool, and it will start directly.
When the Data Migration tool launches, the Welcome page will display a piece of introductory information about that tool, providing external links for the tool documentation and for suggesting new features for that tool, as shown below:
DMT Welcome
The Data Migration tool can be used to import data into your Cosmos DB container, from different data sources. This includes importing data from JSON files, MongoDB, SQL Server, CSV files, Azure Table storage, Amazon DynamoDB, and Azure Cosmos DB SQL API containers.
In this demo, we will copy data from a SQL Server instance, by choosing the SQL data source, as shown below:
Copy from SQL
In order to connect to the SQL Server data source, provide the Standard SQL Server connection string that contains the SQL Server name, the database name, and authorized account credentials to connect to that SQL Server instance. Click on the Verify option to validate the connecting string and make sure that the connection is opened to that SQL Server instance, as below:
Provide connection string and validate
The next step is to provide the T-SQL query that is used to retrieve the data to be migrated from that SQL Server instance. It is recommended to write and tune that T-SQL query first using the SSMS tool, to retrieve only the columns and records that you really need to migrate, in the most optimized way, as shown below:
Write and test query in SSMS
Once the optimal T-SQL query is ready, provide it directly to the Azure Cosmos DB Data Migration tool, or save it as a file and browse that file in the data migration tool.
The Nesting Separator option is used to modify the structure of the generated document by creating hierarchical relationships for the sub-properties, such as the state, country, street and building number of the address, during the data import process, as shown below:
Provide query text
In the Target Information page, specify whether to migrate the data into a JSON file that can be used later, or migrate it directly into an Azure Cosmos DB container using the Sequential or Bulk import method.
The Bulk importer uses the Cosmos DB stored procedure for the copy efficiency, where the stored procedure will be created and executed during the import operation then deleted from the target collection when the import operation completed, with the ability to migrate to a one or more single-partitioned containers.
On the other hand, the sequential importer copies the source records one by one, with the ability to migrate the data to only one container that contains single or multiple partitions.
In this demo, we will use the sequential importer option, as shown below:
Importers options
Before going through the next steps in the Data Migration tool wizard, make sure that you already have a database created under your Azure Cosmos DB account. If not, you can easily create a new Cosmos DB database, by following the steps below:
Create Cosmos DB database
Keep the name of the created database as we will use it in the next step.
In order to get the connection string of the Azure Cosmos DB account, open the account in the Azure Portal and copy the Primary Connection String under the Keys option, as shown below:
Cosmos DB Keys
In order to build the Azure Cosmos DB connection string that can be used in the Data Migration tool, we need to append the name of the created database, as Database=, at the right side of the connection string that is copied from the Cosmos DB keys.
After providing the target connection string, click on the Verify option to validate and test the connection to that account, as shown below:
Provide target and validate it
In the Collection field, you need to provide the name of the container to migrate the data into, where we can only create one container for the Sequential importer, with the ability to create multiple partitions on that container using the provided value of the Partition Key. Multiple containers that are supported by the Bulk importer can be created by providing the name of the collection prefix and the range of collections, as [0-n]. In this example, we will create one container, and use the JobTitle column as a partition key, and the BusinessEntityID as the ID field in the collection items.
It is recommended to tune the throughput amount to make the import operation faster. In our example, we will keep it with default value as we will migrate a small number of records to the Azure Cosmos DB database.
You can also configure a number of advanced options, such as the number of parallel requests, whether to disable the automatic Id generation and consider using the imported ID field, updating (overwriting) the existing documents, specifying the number of retries in case of import failure, the interval between retries, the connection mode, including DirectTcp, DirectHttps, and Gateway and finally persisting the data as String, Epoch or Both, as shown below:
Target settings
In the Advanced Configuration window, you will be requested to specify the location of the import error log file, the type of errors to write to that log file and the update frequency of the import progress messages, as shown below:
Error Log Specification
The next window is the Summary window, in which you can review all your selections before proceeding with the import operation, as shown below:
Summary window
If you manage to perform the import process later or using a command-line tool, the Summary window provides you with the ability to view and copy the command that can be used to import the data based on your choices from the previous steps, as shown below:
View Command
After reviewing all selected options, click on the Import option to start the import operation and monitor the progress of the data migration.
Once the operation completed, the Data Migration tool provides you with the ability to export the failure report or start a new import operation, as shown below:
Import Completed
Query Migrated Data
To validate that the data is migrated to the Azure Cosmos DB container, open the Cosmos DB account using the Azure Portal and browse the database container under the Data Explorer, as shown below:
Validate Data using Data Explorer
To write your own query, instead of using the default data filter, click on the New SQL Query option, to open the query editor, as shown below:
Open Query Editor
In the query editor window, customize the default SELECT query by proving your T-SQL statement. For example, we will return only the employees with a specific job title, by adding a new filter using the WHERE clause, then execute the query, as shown below:
Filter by Job title
We can customize the T-SQL query by specifying the list of columns that we are interested in, and provide the names of the columns in the SELECT statement, then execute the query, as below:
Minimize the number of returned columns
The query editor provides you also with the ability to write more complex T-SQL queries to retrieve only the data that you are interested in and in the preferred view. But you need to tune the query and make sure that this query is not consuming a lot of Azure Cosmos DB resources. This can be verified by checking the Query Statistics for each query to end up with the best performing one, as shown below:
Query Statistics
Another thing to consider here is to make sure that you are using the partition key in your query to filter the retrieved data, as the data already stored in the containers based on the partition key column values.
This is clear from the simple example below, where writing a query that filters the data using another column instead of the partition key, as in the left query, will consume extra 8% RUs compared to filtering the data using the partition key, as in the right query, in addition to the 51% extra index lookup time required to query the data based on the non-partition key, as shown below:
Performance comparison

Justice for girls
The report Disproportionate Minority Contact in the Hawaii Juvenile Justice System: 2000-2010 shines light on many important issues related to the state's juvenile justice system, especially those related to runaways ("Juvenile Injustice," Jan. 2). Dr. Chesney-Lind touched on one point that I want to elaborate on a little more: Many of these youth struggle with trauma from abuse, violence and/or neglect, and exhibit trauma symptoms like self-injury and running away.
[The Weekly] mentioned Wahi Kanaaho as a program that reconnects youth with their culture and community. Another resource girls and their families can turn to is Project Kealahou, a federally funded, trauma-informed program within the Department of Health. Inspired by other girl-focused programs like Girls Court, Project Kealahou provides support to all girls who need it, including those in the juvenile justice system, by providing services such as trauma therapy, mentoring, support groups and cultural education. Gender-responsive programs like Project Kealahou are important to making sure girls at the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility and other facilities get the support they need to overcome their past traumatic experiences and create a better life.
The Project is also working on system-level policy development and initiatives to address trauma and the special needs of girls. For more information, please visit [projectkealahou.org].

text: When the washing machine is loaded, the displacement sensor DRA measures how much the outer drum drops. It also measures the drum's deflection during spin-drying. Due to the inductive measurement principle, the sensor provides absolute position measuring for static and dynamic processes. Operation and the washing result are optimized by the load measurement. The displacement sensor provides an output signal proportional to the weight. This permits full utilization of the drum volume and helps to determine the required amount of detergent.


TY - JOUR T1 - The link between medical conditions and fatal drownings in Canada: a 10-year cross-sectional analysis JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - E637 LP - E644 DO - 10.1503/cmaj.211739 VL - 194 IS - 18 AU - Cody L. Dunne AU - Julia Sweet AU - Tessa Clemens Y1 - 2022/05/09 UR - _URL_ N2 - Background: Drowning accounts for hundreds of preventable deaths in Canada every year, but the impact of preexisting medical conditions on the likelihood of death from drowning is not known. We aimed to describe the prevalence of pre-existing medical conditions among people who fatally drowned in Canada and evaluate the risk of fatal drowning among people with common pre-existing medical conditions.Methods: We reviewed all Canadian unintentional fatal drownings (2007–2016) in the Drowning Prevention Research Centre Canada's database. For each fatal drowning we established whether the person had pre-existing medical conditions and whether those conditions contributed to the drowning. We calculated relative risk (RR) of fatal drowning stratified by age and sex for each pre-existing medical condition using data from the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System.Results: During 2007–2016, 4288 people fatally drowned unintentially in Canada, of whom one-third had a pre-existing medical condition. A pre-existing medical condition contributed to drowning in 43.6% (n = 616) of cases. Fatal drowning occurred more frequently in people with ischemic heart disease (RR 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.5–3.0) and seizure disorders (RR 6.3, 95% CI 5.4–7.3) but less frequently in people with respiratory disease (RR 0.12, 95% CI 0.10–0.15). Females aged 20–34 years with a seizure disorder had a 23 times greater risk than their age- and sex-matched cohort (RR 23, 95% CI 14–39). In general, fatal drowning occurred more often while people were bathing (RR 5.9, 95% CI 4.8–7.0) or alone (RR 1.99, 95% CI 1.32–2.97) and less often in males (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.88–0.95) or in those who had used alcohol (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.65–0.80), among those with pre-existing medical conditions.Interpretation: The risk of fatal drowning is increased in the presence of some preexisting medical conditions. Tailored interventions aimed at preventing drowning based on pre-existing medical conditions and age are needed. Initial prevention strategies should focus on seizure disorders and bathtub drownings.

We investigate the role of perceptual organization in principal components analysis for vehicle recognition. The principal components analysis is a representative appearance based recognition algorithm that reduces the dimension of search space from the number of pixels to the number of dominant image components. However, its time complexity is high because it performs window operation.
To reduce the search space, we use line junctions with associated quality measures found in perceptual organization methods. Because lines in image or their groupings are inherited from three-dimensional structures, they can form a good initial hypothesis of search process. We define a corner feature as a small image area where the junctions are concentrated, and at the same time, characterize an object. In our application, the corner of the roof inside of the vehicle area is selected, and we name it the corner feature.
By combining principal components analysis and perceptual organization, we could construct an efficient vehicle recognition framework. We also present experimental results using real images of outdoor traffic scenes to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm.

Architect: William Deane Butler & Iarnród Éireann Architects
Originally constructed for the Drogheda and Dublin Railway Company, this was the first of the four major Dublin Railway termini to be constructed. Still in use today, it has been renamed Connolly Station after James Connolly who was executed for his part in the 1916 rising although many people still refer to it as Amiens Station. The station was built between 1844-46, and it is constructed on an axis with Talbot Street allowing the central tower to act as a signpost for the station. A symmetrical five bay façade with three towers and an enormous entrance arch – the main façade does not hang together particularly well as an integrated design.
In the late 20th century Iarnród Éireann Architects renovated the building by adding a new entrance foyer to the south and cleaning the brickwork inside the shed. In addition to the mainline trains, Connolly also services the local DART and Suburban Rail services. These trains operate from platforms adjacent to the main railway shed, on an elevated railbed before crossing the river via the Loopline Bridge.
The removal of the traffic access ramp to the south has allowed a terminus of sorts for the Luas Light Rail system, which had now been negated by the extension of the route to the Point on North Wall Quay.


Cosmos Phase II ultralight
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
Ultralight Aircraft
The history behind ultralights from their early beginnings to rising popularity in the 1970s.
When British and French gliding enthusiasts tested gliders propelled by small engines in 1922, they created a new type of low-cost "ultralight" airplane. The idea all but disappeared until a few hang glider pilots began experimenting with small engines they called "glide extenders" during the late 1960s.
Their work did not reach a wide audience until John K. Moody installed a 12½-horsepower engine on his Icarus II hang glider in 1975. The following August, as thousands of fellow flying enthusiasts watched, Moody ignited the modern ultralight movement in America by demonstrating running takeoffs and landings from level ground at the Experimental Aircraft Association's fly-in convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Phobic and anxiety disorders in Hispanic and Caucasian youth
Golda S. Ginsburg, Wendy K. Silverman
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Knowledge about phobic and anxiety disorders in Hispanic youth is sparse. This study compared 99 Hispanic and 143 Caucasian youth, aged 6-17, on various sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Results indicated that Hispanics and Caucasians were remarkably similar on the majority of indices examined, including age at intake, gender, patterns of primary diagnoses, clinician interference rating, percentage with school refusal, and percentage with more than one diagnosis. Hispanic children were more likely to present with a primary diagnosis of separation anxiety disorder and were more likely to come from families with lower incomes compared to Caucasians. Hispanic parents also rated their children as more fearful than did Caucasian parents. The study's findings are viewed as an initial step in extending the existing literature on childhood anxiety disorders and Hispanic mental health.

It is possible to mimic a Javascript eval() in Apex by making a callout to the executeAnonymous API method.
There are two common ways you can get a response back from executeAnonymous.
 1. Throw a deliberate exception at the end of the execute and include the response. Kevin covers this approach in EVAL() in Apex. Secure Dynamic Code Evaluation on the Salesforce1 Platform.
 2. I used a variation of this approach but returned the response via the debug log rather than an intentional exception. See Adding Eval() support to Apex.
Using my example the Apex would be something like:
string toEval =
 'Boolean b1 = true;' +
 'Boolean b2 = true;' +
 'boolean b3 = b1 && b2;' +
 'System.debug(LoggingLevel.Error, b3);';
boolean b4 = soapSforceCom200608Apex.evalBoolean( toEval );
system.debug('test Bool '+ b4);
 - You rock! Never known this is possible in Apex!!!! You have my vote up! – Patlatus Apr 16 '15 at 8:55
 - No. There are some native features that will evaluate your string such as Database.insert and other DML methods. But not an arbitrary expression. – pchittum Jan 29 '13 at 12:19

I created an apex class on github to do this. Take a look at this... _URL_
List values = new List{
true, false, true, true, false, true, true, true
BooleanEvaluate boolEval = new BooleanEvaluate('1 && ( ( 2 || 3 ) && 6 ) && ( 4 && 5 || ( 7 && 8 ) )', values);

An authentication protocol allows on-line service providers to validate the identity or legitimacy of a logging user. Once passing the verification, an authorized user can obtain useful and valuable resource or services from the service provider through Internet conveniently. However, most the current authentication protocols cannot protect user's privacy perfectly. To improve this deficiency, we proposed a robust and efficient authentication protocol attempting to preserve user's privacy entirely and also provide the following properties: i) user anonymity, ii) deniability, iii) key agreement, and iv) efficiency. Moreover, our proposed protocol is non-interactive, which is achieved by reducing the number of message exchanges between users and service provider upon performing the authentication activity. Hence, our proposed protocol is more suitable for current wireless mobile network environments due to only need message exchange once avoiding the channel error rate. Moreover, analysis showed that our proposed protocol can withstand various known kinds of attacks.

|2014 Grammy Awards|
The Grammy awards are named from the trophy: a small, gilded reproduction of a gramophone.
|Awarded for||Outstanding achievements in the music industry|
|Presented by||National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences|
A Grammy Award (originally called Gramophone Award) – or Grammy – is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a widely viewed televised ceremony. It is the music equivalent to the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for stage performances, and the Academy Awards for motion pictures.
The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, and it was set up to honor musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958. Following the 2011 ceremony, NARAS overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. The 55th Grammy Awards were held on February 10, 2013, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
The Grammy Awards had their origin in the Hollywood Walk of Fame project in the 1950s. As the recording executives chosen for the Walk of Fame (Tabinda Walk) committee worked at compiling a list of important recording industry people who might qualify for a Walk of Fame star, they realized there were many more people who were leaders in their business who would never earn a star on Hollywood Boulevard. The music executives decided to rectify this by creating an award given by their industry similar to the Oscars and the Emmys. This was the beginning of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. After it was decided to create such an award, there was still a question of what to call it; one working title was the Eddie, to honor the inventor of the phonograph, Thomas Edison. They finally settled on using the name of the invention of Emile Berliner, the gramophone, for the awards, which were first given for the year 1958.
The gold-plated trophies, each depicting a gilded gramophone, are made and assembled by hand by Billings Artworks in Ridgway, Colorado. In 1990 the original Grammy design was revamped, changing the traditional soft lead for a stronger alloy less prone to damage, made of slumped and reformed pre-war Gibson flat head banjo tone rings, making the trophy bigger and grander. The trophies with the recipient's name engraved on them are not available until after the award announcements, so "stunt" trophies are re-used each year for the broadcast.
As of February 2009, 7,578 Grammy trophies had been awarded.
The "General Field" are four awards which are not restricted by genre.
Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres, as well as for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry.
Because of the large number of award categories (78 in 2012), and the desire to feature several performances by various artists, only the ones with the most popular interest - typically about 10 to 12, including the four General Field categories and one or two categories in the most popular music genres (i.e. pop, rock, country, rap) - are presented directly at the televised award ceremony. Other awards are presented in a pre-telecast ceremony earlier in the afternoon of the Grammy awards ceremony.
On April 6, 2011, The Recording Academy announced a drastic overhaul of many Grammy Award categories for 2012. The number of categories were diminished from 109 to 78. The most important change is the elimination of the distinction between male and female soloists and between collaborations and duo/groups in various genre fields (pop, rock, R&B, country, and rap). Also, several categories for instrumental soloists were discontinued. Recordings in these categories now fall under the general categories for best solo performances.
The most eliminations occurred in the roots category. Up to and including 2011, there were separate categories for various regional American music forms, such as Hawaiian music, Native American music and Zydeco/Cajun music. Due to the consistently low number of entries for these categories, The Recording Academy decided to combine all these music variations into the new Best Regional Roots Music Album, including polka, which lost its own separate category in 2009.
In the same genre field, the traditional and contemporary blues categories and the traditional and contemporary folk categories each were consolidated into one per genre, due to the number of entries and given the challenges in distinguishing between contemporary folk and Americana, and contemporary and traditional blues. In the world music genre field, the traditional and contemporary categories have also been merged.
In the classical genre field, its main category Best Classical Album has been discontinued because most recipients in this category had also won in one of the other classical categories for the same album. Classical recordings are now eligible for the main Album of the Year category.
There are also a few minor name changes to better reflect the nature of the separate categories. It was determined by the Recording Academy that the word "gospel" in the gospel genre field tends to conjure up the images and sounds of traditional soul gospel and leaves out the current contemporary Christian music (CCM). Therefore the genre field and some categories have been renamed as Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music.
Record companies and individuals may submit recordings to be nominated. Nominations are made online and a physical copy of the work is sent to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Once a work is entered, reviewing sessions are held, by more than 150 experts from the recording industry, to determine whether the work is eligible and entered in the correct category for official nomination.
The resulting list is circulated to all NARAS members, each of whom may vote to nominate in the general field (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist) and in no more than nine out of 30 other fields on their ballots. The five recordings that earn the most votes in each category become the nominees. There may be more than five nominees if there is a tie in the nomination process.
Whereas members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are generally invited to screenings or are sent DVDs of movies nominated for Oscars, NARAS members do not receive nominated recordings.
After nominees have been determined, final voting ballots are sent to Recording Academy members, who may then vote in the general fields and in no more than eight of the 30 fields. NARAS members are encouraged, but not required, to vote only in their fields of expertise. Ballots are tabulated secretly by the major independent accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Following the tabulation of votes the winners are announced at the Grammy Awards. The recording with the most votes in a category wins and it is possible to have a tie. Winners are presented with the Grammy Award and those who do not win are given a medal for their nomination.
In both voting rounds, Academy members are required to vote based upon quality alone, and not to be influenced by sales, chart performance, personal friendships, regional preferences or company loyalty. The acceptance of gifts is prohibited. Members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the academy.
The eligibility period for the 2013 Grammy Awards was October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012.
Prior to 1971, the Grammy Award ceremonies were held in different locations on the same day. Originally New York City and Los Angeles were the host cities. Chicago joined being a host city in 1962, and then Nashville became the fourth location in 1965.
The 1971 ceremony, held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, was the first to take place in one location. The ceremony was then moved to Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum in New York City, and then Nashville's Tennessee Theatre in the following two years. Then from 1974 to 2003, the Grammys were held in various venues in New York City and Los Angeles. Notable locations included New York City's Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall; and Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, the Staples Center and the Hollywood Palladium.
In 2004, the Staples Center became the permanent home of the award ceremonies. The Grammy Museum was built across the street from Staples Center in LA Live to preserve the history of the Grammy Awards. Embedded on the sidewalks at the museum streets are bronze disks, similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring each year's top winners, Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.
With 31 Grammy Awards, Sir Georg Solti is the artist with the most Grammy wins. Alison Krauss is the biggest winner among female artists with 27 awards. U2, with 22 Grammy Awards, holds the record for most awards won by a group.
The Grammy Awards has received criticism from various recording artists and music journalists.
When his band Pearl Jam won a Grammy in the category Best Hard Rock Performance in 1996, singer Eddie Vedder commented on stage: "I don't know what this means. I don't think it means anything." Glen Hansard, leader of the Irish rock group The Frames, stated in 2008 that the Grammys represent something outside of the real world of music "that's fully industry based." He said he wasn't that interested in attending that year's ceremony, even though he had been nominated for two different awards. Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of metal band Tool, did not attend the Grammy Awards ceremony to receive one of their awards. He explained his reasons:

I'm a big fan of GhostDoc's automatic comment generation in Visual Studio so am looking for an plugin that does the same job with my Java code in Eclipse. Any recommendations?
It is basically the equivalent of Javadoc, which can be generating in eclipse with the shortcut:
(when you are within the Java function you wish to add javadoc for)
From there, if you really want XML format, you can try and use a JELDoclet
You can check JAutodoc (_URL_
From the author:
JAutodoc is an Eclipse Plugin for automatically adding Javadoc and file headers to your source code. It optionally generates initial comments from element name by using Velocity templates for Javadoc and file headers.
This one is the one I've found closest to GhostDoc.
GhostDoc has a nice extra feature that infers a description of what the method does by parsing the method name and providing this as skeletal documentation. For example, using GhostDoc on a method named GetDocumentName() might return the phrase "Gets the document name". While this is hardly more information than provided by the method name, it adds method documentation where previously none existed. Some might argue that this is barely useful. I argue to the contrary because it supports generating documentation from the source code (e.g., for tools like NDoc or SandCastle).
In my opinion the greatest benefit of GhostDoc over eclipse's "Generate Element Comment" is that it encourages programmers to begin adding documentation comments by adding an extremely fast and reliable way create this. The programmer can accept the inferred text, (suitable in 50 - 80% of cases), or expand on this for more complex methods. For the junior programmer who is not as familiar with how documentation comments are used, this can quickly shorten the learning curve and encourage good programming practices.
Javadoc is not like GhostDoc my friend. Javadoc only creates the structure so one can write the documentation from scratch. GhostDoc actually fills up the information according to the Method/Property name.
/// /// Gets the user from id. /// /// The id. /// private string GetUserFromId(string id);
JAutoDoc is the closest I've found so far but it's not as magical as GhostDoc.


The Me-Dam Me-Phi Festival
- January 31, 2020
Illustration: Rajib Das
What happens to departed souls?
The dead linger as ancestors for a short period after death, and later traverse into heaven uniting with the Supreme Being. Here, they look after their earthly family and shower them with their blessings for all of eternity. At least, this is what the Ahom community of Assam believes.
Me-Dam Me-Phi is a community festival celebrated by the Ahom people for over 400 years, in memory of their dearly departed. 'Me' means offering, 'Dam' means ancestors and 'Phi' means god.
The festival is celebrated privately by families in their kitchen and publicly by the community at Charaideo, Assam, which was the burial site for the kings of the Ahom dynasty in the 13th century. As a part of the rituals, a special pillar called 'Damkhuta' is set up, which serves as the focal point of the offerings. Delicacies such as homemade wine, mah-prasad (beans and chickpeas), and rice with egg, meat and fish are offered.
Every year, January 31st is observed as a state holiday in Assam on the occasion of Me-Dam Me-Phi.

The weather in Iceland 2013
The weather in Iceland in 2013 was mainly favorable, however, the spring was harsh in the North and East and the summer was on the dull side in the South and West, with precipitation and cloudiness above average. This was the dullest summer of the new century in this area of the country.
The temperature was unusually high during the first two months but for the rest of the year it was closer to the 1961 - 1990 average, relatively coldest in April when persistent snow cover caused problems in the agriculture in the Northeast. An unusually severe but short cold spell hit during the last days of April and the first days of May and resulted in new May minimum temperature records both for the country as a whole and the inhabited areas as well.
June was very warm in the Northeast and East, but the southern part of the country was beset with clouds and drizzle. In July the gloom continued in the South but it was warm in the Northeast. The last third of the month was warm in most areas and a new maximum temperature record for the highland (more than 450 meters above sea level) was established. The dull weather continued in the South and West during August, but the weather was better in the North and East. Most of September was cold and changeable. In the middle of the month the North and Northeast was hit by an unseasonably early snowstorm which caused livestock loss and infrastructure disruptions.
October was unusually dry in the West, winds were light and there was almost no snow. November was windy and difficult – the first half was cold but a very warm period reigned during the last week or so. December was bad, a severe cold spell hit in the first third and the weather around Christmas was stormy with snow and disruptions in traffic were common.
The year 2013 was warm, the temperature being 0.4 til 1.0°C above the 1961 - 1990 mean. It was relatively warmest in the East, but near the average in the Southwest. Even though the year was warm it was the coldest one of the present century in the Southwest. In the North and East the temperature in 2005 and 2011 was similar as in 2013.
In Reykjavík this was the 18th consecutive year of above-normal temperatures and the 15th in Akureyri in the north.

dev _PHONE_: Temperature deviation relative to the 1961 - 1990 mean
dev 2003-2012: Temperature deviation relative to 2003 - 2012
The temperature deviations were very large in January and February, April was cold, but June warm - especially in Akureyri (red bar).
The highest maximum temperature of the year was measured in Ásbyrgi in the Northeast on 21 July, 26.4°C. The lowest minimum was measured at Mývatn, also in the Northeast, on 6 December, -31.0°C. This is the lowest temperature measured in Iceland since 1998.
The highest maximum temperature in Reykjavík was measured on 27 July, 20.2°C and in Akureyri the maximum was 23.7°C on 10 July.
The lowest minimum temperature in Reykjavík was -12.8°C on 5 December, being the lowest minimum since 2008. In Akureyri the lowest minimum of the year was -16.0°C measured on 6 December.
The total precipitation was above the long-term average in the country. Precipitation in January, February and September was heavy in most of the country. The summer was wet in the South and West and it was wet in the Northeast and East in September, October and December. October was particularly dry in the West.
The total precipitation measured in Reykjavík was 838 mm, about 5 percent above the 1961 - 1990 normal. In Akureyri the total precipitation was 597 mm, about 20 percent above the normal. This is the 12th consecutive year with above-normal precipitation in Akureyri.
May, September, October and December were very wet in Akureyri, but it was dry in February, June and August. In Reykjavík the precipitation was well above the normal during seven months of the year. October was very dry.
The summer (June to August) was unusually dry in the easternmost areas of the country. At Dalatangi it was the second driest on record (beginning in 1938).
The largest 24-hr precipitation total measured in the year 2013 at a manned station was 154.1 mm on 26 February at Skaftafell in the Southeast. The following day, the precipitation was 153.4 mm – a total of 307.5 mm in 48 hours. At the automatic station at Kvísker in the same area the highest 24-hour precipitation total was 176.3 mm, but the two day total was not quite as high as in Skaftafell.
The number of days with precipitation measuring 1.0 mm or more was 161 in Reykjavík, 13 days above the average. In Akureyri such days were 112, 9 days above average.
There was not much snow in Reykjavík during the winter of 2012 to 2013 (September 2012 to May 2013). Snow covered the ground completely only on 24 days, 41 fewer than on the average _PHONE_. There was much more snow in the Northeast. Snow covered the ground completely on 129 days during this winter in Akureyri, 11 above the average.
During the whole of 2013 snow covered the ground for 42 days in Reykjavík, 23 below the average. In Akureyri the snow covered the ground during 119 days, 2 days above the average.
The greatest snow depth measured in the country was 171 cm, at Skeiðsfossvirkjun in the North on 16, 17 and 26 April.
The total number of hours with bright sunshine in Reykjavík was 1350, 82 hours above the mean of 1961 - 1990. March and April were unusually sunny but during all of the months June to September the sunshine was below average. The annual number of sunshine hours in Reykjavík has now been above the 1961 to 1990 average for more than ten years.
In Akureyri the number of bright sunshine hours was slightly below the average (32 hours). June was especially sunny, but in May, July and August the sunshine was less than the long term average.
Sea level pressure
The average sea level pressure in Reykjavík was 1004.9 hPa. This is 1.0 hPa below the 1961 - 1990 average. The pressure was unusually high in March and unusually low in December, but there was no new absolute monthly deviation record.
The highest sea level pressure of the year was measured at the station Fontur on the northeast tip of the country on 23 March, 1038.7 hPa. The lowest pressure of the year was measured at the station Dalatangi on the eastern coast 19 December, 942.6 hPa.
The aggregate wind speed of the country was below the average during the first four months of the year as well as in June, July and October. August, November and December were windy.
The country was hit by a few bad wind- and/or snowstorms. The most extensive were: An east and northeasterly storm during 26 to 28 January, a northeasterly storm during 4 to 7 March, a northerly storm during 15 to 16 September and a northerly storm on 24 and 25 December.
The January storm caused moderate wind damage in the coastal districts of the North, communication was severely affected. The March storm was accompanied by a severe snowstorm which brought a halt to the traffic in all of the country. The last day of the snowstorm in the South and Southwest was accompanied by an unusual occurrence of blown ash from the volcanic eruptions in 2010 and 2011. The snow that was deposited during this part of the storm was very gray all over the southern and southwestern areas of the country.
The northerly wind- and snowstorm in September caused loss of livestock in the Northeast, but not as much loss as in a similar storm in September 2012. There were power grid breaks as well, but also less widespread than in the year before. During the snowstorm there were traffic disruptions in the northeastern parts of the country.
The last third of December was very windy and the wind culminated in a heavy snowstorm on 24 and 25 December that caused traffic problems and power outages in many parts of the country.
Wind direction (vector)
The wind observations at the synoptic stations are decomposed to an easterly (positive) and northerly (positive) components and averages calculated and compared to the 1961 - 1990 mean. The easterly wind was more persisting in January and March than the average, but westerly winds in August, September and November. The northerly wind component was above average in March, April, October and December, but

Dicotyledons
The largest group of fruiting plants is the dicotyledons. Most common garden plants, shrubs and trees, and broad-leafed flowering plants -- such as magnolias, roses, geraniums, and hollyhocks -- are dicotyledons, so called because they have two seed leaves, or cotyledons, in the embryo contained in the seed. Contrast this with the other group of fruiting plants - the monocotyledons.
They typically have broad leaves containing a network of veins. Their roots usually have a tap root. They are generally woody plants.

Software and hardware complex ACS AllCtrl.SCADA based on 1C manages the water and nutrition supply system through opening/closing the corresponding valves based on information from the soil moisture sensors, schedule for each crop, and customized decision-making algorithms
The software and hardware complex automatically maintains the water temperature at a specified level. Management of watering occurs by the operator-specified parameters. The customized decision algorithms allow you to calculate the intensity and quality of irrigation in a precise and daily way.
AllCtrl.SCADA system based on 1C provides an opportunity to monitor important indicators in the process of supplying water for plants:
- • filtering water to avoid clogging of taps and ensure their continuous operation;
- • stabilization of pH and neutralization of bicarbonates;
- • water heating. Optimal temperature of water for watering is from 18 to 25 degrees, while tap water reaches an average of 3-7 degrees.
AllCtrl.SCADA based on 1C automates the process of preparation and supply of nutrients, balances the concentration and ratio of the macro and the micro elements, as well as controls the pH level in the nutrient solutions for plants. Automation of plants watering and nutrition supply management provides an opportunity to clearly record the expenditures on the amount of water, nutrition, and allows you to optimally balance the plants nutrition.
If required, our company may supply the necessary sensors/devices and implement a "turnkey" project to automate irrigation and plant nutrition control of your object.

An object that creates and manages the contents of a single-column table interface.
- watchOS 2.0+
You use a table object to set the number and type of rows and to configure the data objects for those rows. Take the following steps to configure a table object and fill it with data:
Define one or more row controller types in your storyboard.
Define a custom data class to manage the contents of each row type.
Tell the table object how many rows (and of what type) to display at runtime.
Use instances of your custom data class to configure each row's contents.
Do not subclass or create instances of this class yourself. Instead, define outlets in your interface controller class and connect them to the corresponding objects in your storyboard file. For example, to refer to a table object in your interface, define a property with the following syntax in your interface controller class:
During the initialization of your interface controller, WatchKit creates a new instance of this class and assigns it to your outlet. At that point, you can use the object in your outlet to make changes to the table.
Defining Your Table's Rows
After adding a table object to your storyboard, configure the row controller that comes with the table. A row controller defines the appearance of a specific type of row. A table comes with one row type initially and you can add more later. Each row controller in your table requires some minimal configuration to be usable at runtime.
Each row controller must have a name, which you set using the Identifier property in the Attributes inspector. You use this name to create rows of that type later.
Each row controller must have an associated class, which you set in the Identity inspector. At runtime, the table creates instances of your row controller classes for each row in the table.
To configure the contents of a row controller, drag elements from the library and drop them onto the row's group. For most rows, you will want to use a group object as the top-level object. You can also nest group objects to create vertical and horizontal arrangements for your interface objects. To that group, add the objects needed to display the row's contents. Figure 1 shows how a configured row appears in Xcode.
Each row controller needs a class to manage the contents of the row at runtime. The class acts as a proxy for the row in your code and stores the outlets you need to configure the contents of the row. Listing 2 shows the definition of a custom
My class that could be used for the row controller in Figure 1.
Setting the Number of Rows at Runtime
To fill a table interface object with data, use the
set method. These methods specify the type (and number) of rows to add to the table. If all rows are of the same type, use the
set method. If you use more than one row controller in your table, use the
set method. The row type string corresponds to the name you entered into the Identifier property for that row controller in your storyboard.
When you add rows to a table, WatchKit creates the rows in your Watch app and instantiates the classes corresponding to those rows in your WatchKit extension. The newly instantiated classes are stored internally by the table object and made available to you through the
row method. Use that method to retrieve each row controller object and configure the contents of the row.
Listing 3 shows an example of how to configure a table object from your interface controller. The
todo property referenced by the method is a custom property that contains the
WKInterface object being configured. After getting the data for the rows, the method calls the
set method to create the rows. It then iterates over the newly created row controller objects, configuring each one's label with the text for the to-do item.
When you want to update the contents of a table, call
set again with the new row type information. Calling these methods again forces the table to discard the old rows and create new ones. To insert new rows without removing the old ones, use the
Responding to Taps in Table Rows
In your storyboard, create a segue between a row controller and a destination interface controller. When the user taps on a row of that type, the system automatically pushes the destination interface controller onto the screen. To pass data to the destination controller, override your current interface controller's
context method, and return context data based on the selected row.
Alternatively, you can explicitly respond to taps in a table row by implementing your interface controller's
table(_: method. Use that method to present a different interface controller or to perform any other relevant tasks.
Supporting Item Pagination
Item Pagination lets users easily navigate through lists of items. When the user selects an item from the table, the app displays a detailed view for the item. The user can then scroll up and down to navigate between other sibling items from that table. For example if the user selects a stock symbol in the Stocks app, it will load the details for that stock. They can then scroll vertically to navigate to other stocks.
Item Pagination is disabled by default. To enable it, perform the following steps:
In the storyboard, enable the table's Item Pagination option in the Attributes inspector.
In the storyboard, define segues for all of the table's row controllers. Your table must use segues to drive its navigation.
If you programmatically navigate through a table's items (for example, when launching from a complication to a specific interface controller), be sure to use the table's
performmethod, instead of the interface controller's
Controller(with Name: context:)
performmethod lets watchOS know which table and which row initiated the segue. The system needs this information to provide the correct sibling items as the user scrolls.
Interface Builder Configuration Options
Xcode lets you configure information about your table interface object in your storyboard file. Table 1 lists the attributes you can configure in your storyboard and their meaning.
The number of row controllers supported by the table. Change the value to add or remove new row controller objects to the storyboard file.
The amount of spacing (in points) between rows.
The background image to display behind the table's items. Do not set an image if you want the background color or image of the underlying interface controller to be visible.
The background color for the table. Set the color to clear if you want the background color or image of the underlying interface controller to be visible.
A checkbox that determines whether Item Pagination is enabled. For more information on Item Pagination, see Supporting Item Pagination.
For each row controller in your table, Table 2 lists the attributes you can configure and their meaning.
A checkbox indicating whether rows of this type are enabled and tappable. When this option is disabled, tapping the row does not highlight the row or report the action to the table.

Lets say I am using IMAP IDLE to monitor changes in a mail folder.
The IMAP spec says that IDLE connections should only stay alive for 30 minutes max, but it is recommended that a lower number of minutes is selected - say 20 minutes, then cancel the idle and restart.
I am wondering what would happen if the mail contents changed between the idle canceling, and the new idle being created. An email could potentially be missed. Given that RECENT is a bit vague, this could lead to getting a message list before the old idle ends, and a new idle starts.
But this is almost the same as polling every 20 minutes, and defeats some of the benefit of idle.
Alternatively, a new idle session could be started prior to terminating the expiring one.
But in any case, I think this problem has already been solved so here I am asking for recommendations.

As you know, the purpose of IMAP IDLE command (RFC 2177) is to make it possible to have the server transmit status updates to the client in real time. In this context, status updates means untagged IMAP server responses such as EXISTS, RECENT, FETCH or EXPUNGE that are sent when new messages arrive, message status is updated or a message is removed.
However, these IMAP status updates can be returned by any IMAP command, not just the IDLE command - for example, the NOOP command (see RFC 3501 section 6.1.2) can be used to poll for server updates as well (it predates the IDLE command). IDLE only makes it possible to get these updates more efficiently - if you don't use IDLE command, server updates will simply be sent by the server when the client executes another command (or even when no command is in progress in some cases) - see RFC 3501 section 5.2 and 5.3 for details.
This means that if a message is changed between the IDLE canceling and the new IDLE command, the status updates should not be lost, just as they are not lost if you never used IDLE in the first place (and use NOOP every few seconds instead, for example) - they should simply be sent after the new IDLE command is started.

Tribe v. Peterson
964 P.2d 1238 (Wyo. 1998)
- The Tribe family moved to Wyoming and bought their first horse from the Petersons.
- Some time after buying the horse, both Tribes (husband and wife) were separately thrown off the horse. Mr. Tribe broke his wrist.
- Tribe sued for breach of warranty
- Tribe argued that that the Petersons had guaranteed that horse would be "gentle." He also argued that the Petersons negligently and fraudulently misrepresented the horse's nature.
- That is known as an express warranty.
- Express warranties for sale of goods are codified in UCC §2-313(1)(b), which says, "any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the description."
- In order for a seller to make an express warranty, they must make a statement of fact that relates to the goods and becomes part of the bargain.
- The Petersons argued that it would be impossible to guarantee a horse wouldn't buck, so they would never have made such an express warranty.
- The Trial Court found for the Petersons. Tribe appealed.
- Appellate Court affirmed. Tribe appealed.
- Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed.
- The Courts all found that there was no misrepresentation. The horse was gentle, but even gentle horses throw riders sometimes.
- Basically the Courts said that any horse seller would know that it was not possible to guarantee anything with regards to horse attitudes, so there was no way the Petersons would have made an express warrantee.

Committal hearings
Committal hearings (also known as committal proceedings) are heard in the Magistrates' Court for indictable offences.
They occur after a person has been formally charged with an offence and either released on bail or held in remand. They mark the initiation of formal proceedings against an accused by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Purpose of committal hearings
The purpose of these proceedings is for the Magistrate to determine whether the DPP has sufficient evidence to gain a conviction at trial in a higher court (i.e. whether there is a "prima facie" case). If the Magistrate deems that there is enough evidence for a conviction, he or she will commit the defendant to stand trial.
If there is insufficient evidence, the Magistrate can dismiss a case, and the defendant will be released. However, if further evidence is found, the defendant can be charged again.
Another purpose of committal hearings is to ensure efficiency in the operation of County and Supreme courts, as they will not have to waste time with weak prosecution cases.
There are two types of committal hearings:
 - Traditional method: prosecution witnesses give oral evidence in a courtroom under oath. As in a formal trial, these witnesses are examined and cross-examined. The defence may enter a plea, and occasionally call witnesses. However, the focus is on the prosecution.
 - Hand-up-brief method: prosecution witnesses give evidence through sworn written statements. This is the most common method of committal hearing.
