Anglers see effects of 2011 floodAs good as fishing has been on the Missouri River and Lake Oahe in the past three of four years, it could be that bad in the coming three or four years. Or more.
By: By Brian Gehring, Associated Press, The Jamestown Sun
BISMARCK — As good as fishing has been on the Missouri River and Lake Oahe in the past three of four years, it could be that bad in the coming three or four years. Or more.
Anglers know well the ups and downs of fishing the river and Oahe. In 1997, high water on Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota from record snows in the state led to high releases from Garrison Dam. Often referred to as "the big flush," millions of rainbow smelt were washed downstream through the Oahe Dam in South Dakota, and it took years for the walleye fishery to recover.
Paul Bailey, fisheries biologist for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said the effects of the most recent flooding, in 2011, were evident as the fishing season wore on this past summer.
"Anglers saw firsthand the poor condition of the walleyes," he said. "We were starting to see the impact of the forage situation on both the river and on Lake Oahe."
Bailey said the Game and Fish Department does a couple of different surveys of the fish populations on the Missouri River and Lake Oahe each year.
Lake Oahe has three surveys done each year — a spring spawning survey, an adult population survey and a fall production survey in September.
On the river, two electro-shocking surveys are done to track populations, one in the spring and one in the fall.
In 2011, fish on the river and on Oahe were dealt a double-whammy of sorts: cold and windy weather during the spring spawning period followed by record flows on the river during the summer.
"Those two things combined to make 2011 one of our poorest production years," Bailey said.
After the 1997 "flush" so many smelt were lost to entrainment, the term biologists use to describe fish flushed through dams. Following that event, South Dakota increased daily and possession limits on walleyes because of the lack of a food base below the Oahe Dam.
Even with more liberal limits, there was still a lot of mortality.
Similar measures are being considered now for the South Dakota portion of Lake Oahe, which extends into North Dakota.
Bailey said how good — or bad — fishing will be on the river is dependent on several factors.
On the plus side, smelt are not the only forage source for walleye, northern pike and other game fish. Going back to 2009, which was a phenomenal year for production on the river, there were good numbers of other fish like crappie, white bass, suckers, perch and shiners to go around.
"We do have a diverse forage base on the river," Bailey said.
But a lot of those fish were lost to last year's flood.
"This summer a lot of fish were caught," Bailey said. "Anglers were able to take advantage of what was placed in front of them."
In other words, there are a lot of hungry fish.
"We've never had more mouths to feed than we did in 2011," he said.
In an effort to restock the cupboards, so to speak, gizzard shad were stocked in Beaver Bay in North Dakota and in seven locations on Lake Oahe in South Dakota.
Gizzard shad found their way into Missouri River waters following 1997 and to some measure, provided an alternative food source in the river and in the reservoir.
Bailey called the stocking efforts this spring a "moderate success." Some larval gizzard have been found in Beaver Bay and in other areas of Oahe, but because they are not very tolerant to extreme cold, they don't provide a long-term solution.
The other factors that ultimately dictate how the fish will rebound in the next few years are, by and large, out of the hands of biologists.
With the record releases from last year's flood, the makeup of the river itself changed dramatically. The river has become more channelized — the sandbars that were around pre-flood have shifted or are gone completely — and tons of sand sediment has been deposited elsewhere.
Many of the shallow side channels and backwater bays that are critical spawning areas for many species are now gone.
"We've lost a lot of that habitat," Bailey said.
Anglers discovered that for themselves over the course of the summer.
A lot of the smaller sandbars that provided current breaks where walleyes lie waiting to ambush forage fish are gone.
The areas that held fish this summer were bigger holes, and it turned into a situation where the small "honey holes" have disappeared and the fish are now relating to bigger community fishing holes.
"It used to be easy to find those current breaks," Bailey said. "There are fewer places to find fish."
And, Mother Nature will have a big hand in determining how the river and Lake Oahe will bounce back.
Oahe now is at a low level where boat ramp access is a concern. The main ramp at Beaver Bay is high and dry and if there is much more of a drop, ramps at Cattail and Langoliers bays will be questionable.
The Army Corps of Engineers said last week it could well be another drier-than-normal winter with less-than-average snowfall in the Rocky Mountains. If that turns out to be the case, any spring rise could be short-lived.
The corps has adjusted, favoring holding back water this coming spring on Lake Oahe, although Lake Sakakawea was to be given preference.
Even if there is a good spring rise, Bailey said, it would have to be fairly substantial to make a dent in spawning success. Ultimately, it will come down to precipitation and how that precipitation is managed.
"If we don't get the precipitation, this recovery is going to take a while," Bailey said.
One thing is almost certain, though.
"It's going to be a much different fishing year in 2013."

Some things to note:
 - A block will be allocated regardless of the free bytes left in each block i.e. space within a block is lost if the data is smaller than the block size.
 - Using a smaller block size may offer better/smaller file size at the expense of more seeks if the data is larger than the space for each block.
 - Since the header is 15 bytes and the maximum key size is 255 then you cannot go below 270 bytes unless you are limiting the key length and your data is short.
 - You can call CompactStorageHF() anytime to reclaim storage space and reduce the storage file size. After compaction the original files are saved to the old folder.
Usage
You can get to the new features via the following interface:
 var kv = rdb.GetKVHF();
The above interface has the following methods:
public interface IKeyStoreHF
{ object GetObjectHF(string key); bool SetObjectHF(string key, object obj); bool DeleteKeyHF(string key); int CountHF(); bool ContainsHF(string key); string[] GetKeysHF(); void CompactStorageHF();
}
The above interface is pretty self explanatory.
Advanced topics
On all writes a special file is created by the name of temp.$ which signifies a data changed operation so in the event of a system failure RaptorDB will know to rebuild indexes.
You can trigger a rebuild process by adding the above file to the view folder or the DataHF folder for the new key/value store.
On a different note
Continuing the testing on other platforms, below is an animated GIF of RaptorDB working as is on an Ubuntu virtual machine which I previously installed mono-complete on:
xx
Appendix v3.2.5 - New String Indexes
One long time nagging problem was the storage cost of string indexes, since strings are variable in size, when you come to index them you are left no choice but to take the largest length possible and allocate storage for it regardless of it's actual size since you had to contend with variable length of index pages, which can get very messy.
So in this version and on the back of the new recycle-able storage file format MGIndex type indexes will store the actual strings in an external MGHF file and store the reference in the IDX file which means huge storage size reduction for these types of indexes.
You can control the creation of this new file with the Global.EnableOptimizedStringIndex flag which is true by default, note :
 - Previous style indexes still work and are backward compatible.
 - New indexes will be built on View rebuilds when required and the above flag allows it.
Appendix v3.2.14 - HFKV Increment() Decrement()
Continuing my real world usage of RaptorDB I have added atomic Increment/Decrement of int,decimal values to the high frequency key value store and RaptorDB ensures that updates will be atomic and consistent which can be used for :
 - Counters
 - Inventory values
Also fulltext search edge cases should be finally covered so you can do :
 - address = "-oak -*l" = not oak and not ending in l ( not hill, laurel etc.)
Appendix v3.2.15 - Fulltext Search Changes
From this version on the way full text search is handled is changed so using + now means OR (this is a breaking change and hopefully makes more sense).
So :
"15 franklin" = 15 and franklin "15 franklins" = 15 and franklins -> which will show no results since fanklins does not exist "15 +franklin" = 15 or franklin
Appendix v3.3.0 - Web Studio
xx
A longtime coming, but finally RaptorDB has a web interface. The wait was mainly for me to "get" javascript and web development which is still ongoing. Parts of this update are from the REST api article (_URL_ which has been integrated into the main code base and will live on here.
Currently this web interface is readonly and does non-destructive operations and defaults to local machine only access for security reasons, his might change in the future when I get the access control to work.
This UI uses plain javascript and was written from scratch with no dependancies, even the '$' operation was written by me as a standin.
The javascript requires modern browsers and will work with IE10+ (IE8, IE9 were to much trouble and not worth the effort given I wrote everything from scatch).
The javascript gurus amoung you will probably complain about the code.
How to enable Web Studio
By default the web Studio UI is disabled and you can control it with the following config parameters:
"EnableWebStudio" : true,
"WebStudioPort" : 91,
For security reasons the web UI is local host only by default, you can enbale connection from any address by setting :
"LocalOnlyWebStudio" : false
What you can do
Most of the main features of RaptorDB are available through the Web UI like :
 - Queries
 - View Schema
 - Document view and history
 - System Information and logs
 - High frequency key/value browse
Queries
You can get at your data with the query tab which supports paging, filtering, sorting and exporting to excel.
To filter a query you can click on the column name which will add it to your filter text box and add the filter you want, like :
 Address = "hill" and serial < 100 or Address = "hill -oak" and serial < 100
You can click on the column name for sorting the columns data. If you click on the link under the 'docid' column then you will see the underlying document which is associated with the row.
Document view and history
You can view the actual document json and see any revisions which were made under the "Documents" menu. Full text searching of the original json documents is also supported.
xx
xx
System Information
Under the system information menu you can see the last 100 log items along with debug information from the server and the current configuration parameters.
Under this tab you can also backup the current data and optimize the high frequency data store.
xx
High frequency key store
Under this menu you can browse the high frequency key/value store and see the json representation of what you stored for each key.
xx
Getting started
Concepts
RaptorDB is a json based key value store with map functions which map documents to views for querying. So at its core you save a document entity with Save() and Fetch() the same.
A key value store is very useful, but for most applications you need to query and aggregate parts of documents, so you need to define views to extract information from those documents. Extracting information like this is done for performance reasons.
You can only have 1 instance of RaptorDB accessing the data folder (while files are opened in shared mode so you can take hot backups, two instances cannot share the same files and folders).
While the noSql movement advocates "schema-less" designs, this does not mean the absence of a schema, but less dependency on a schema or schema isolation i.e. the ability to change things without breaking other parts, because to do anything with performance you will need to know your data types and structures otherwise queries would be a limited full text search (limited in the way that text data loses type information).
Installing
You can use RaptorDB in your projects by installing via nuget and searching for RaptorDB_doc or by manually adding 2 DLL references :
 - RaptorDB.dll : the main server code
 - RaptorDB.Common.dll : common library for both embedded and client/server
Your first Project
The complete source code : Cannot resolve file macro, invalid file name or id.
For demonstration purposes we will create a console application project (you can create any kind of app with Visual Studio). Our first project will use RaptorDB in embedded mode, meaning that the database will share the memory of the console process.
Since RaptorDB needs to keep a lot of state then we should create a global variable for it so we can access it from throughout our code and have 1 instance:
class Program
{ static RaptorDB.RaptorDB rdb; static void Main(string[] args) { rdb = RaptorDB.RaptorDB.Open("data"); RaptorDB.Global.RequirePrimaryView = false; DoWork(); Console.WriteLine("press any key..."); Console.ReadKey(); Console.WriteLine("\r\nShutting down..."); rdb.Shutdown(); }
...
Note that we are explicitly shutting down so RaptorDB can cleanly save data to disk (if you don't do this you might notice RaptorDB rebuilding the views as it didn't shutdown cleanly).
For the purpose of our first example we will disable the need to have primary views defined for our documents and essentially use RaptorDB as a key value store.
Now lets save some data:
static void DoWork()
{ Console.Write("Inserting 100,000 documents..."); int count = 100000; for (int i = 0; i < count

Drummed out of the army
Dismissed from army service to the sound of a drum.
The phrase 'drummed out' is most often used in relation to the, now outmoded, military practice of dismissing disgraced soldiers to the sound of drums. This drew attention to their plight and acted as a warning to others. The earliest reference to 'drumming out' comes in a figurative use of the phrase, in Thomas Amory's The life of John Buncle, 1766:
"They ought to be drummed out of society."
Soon after that comes a piece from The Edinburgh Advertiser, (June 1776), which refers to a literal 'drumming out', i.e. with drums:
"Included was a letter to me in very extraordinary language, and a summons to deliver up the town: the messenger was sent to prison for a few days, and drummed out."
The earliest specific reference to drumming out in a military scenario is Lord Thomas Macaulay's Critical and miscellaneous essays, 1829:
"Another is drummed out of a regiment."
These days we hear little of people being drummed out, apart from in the corny joke 'He was drummed out of the Mafia for cruelty'.

text: The research paper aims to determine the relationship between organizational justice and constructive deviant behavior. Analytical and descriptive design has been adopted to determine the relationship between organizational justice and the various dimensions of deviant behaviours. The sample of the study consisted of 109 employees from the manufacturing firms. The results indicate that the attributes of organizational justice, that is, procedural, informational, and distributive justice significantly differ from the challenging constructive deviant behavior. One of the dimensions of constructive deviant behavior and interpersonal and informational justice significantly differ from the dimension of innovative and interpersonal constructive deviant behavior. The study also reveals that the experience of the employees with respect to their age, number of dependents, marital status, and designation had significant differences with both organizational justice and constructive deviant behavior, and it was also revealed that gender had significant differences with constructive deviant behavior.

Latency Analysis
The Latency visualization lets you analyze latent customer behavior within a set number of days before or after an event occurred after a campaign or other type of event or period of time.
The Latency visualization allows you to set a metric to identify behavior before, during, or after an event occurred to determine its effect on customer behavior. For example, you can identify the effectiveness of a marketing campaign by viewing the revenue a week after an event occurred. Or you can show customer behavior a week previous to the event as a baseline to see an event's effect on behavior.
Using the Latency visualization, you can change the Time dimension from day, hour, week, or other time period, to visit, click through, hit, or other countable dimension.
Setting up Latency Analysis
 1. Open a workspace and right-click Visualization > Latency.
 2. From the menu, select the number of days to analyze for latency events.
 3. Right-click on the Latency label to open menu.
 - Using the Set Countable option, set a countable dimension such as visit, clickthrough, hit, and others.
 - Using the Set Countable (Time) option, set a time dimension such as day, hour, week, day of week, and hour of day.
 4. Modify the Latency visualization.

28 to cable crane systems for the construction of the Deriner Dam in Turkey.
The Deriner Dam was constructed by means of three parallel cable crane systems of the company "Thyssenkrupp AG" in 2002. LCS took over the technology of cable crane systems for the construction of dams and distributes them exclusively worldwide.
The cable crane systems used to build the Deriner Dam in Turkey were classic parallel systems with machine carriage and counter carriage. With a total height of the dam of 250 m, the cable cranes disposed of a lifting height of 280 m. Due to the large concrete volume of 3.5 Mio. m³ to be placed, three identical cable crane systems, each with a payload of 28 to, were installed to ensure that the dam was completed on time.

Learn How To Cook Oha Soup In Easy Steps
Cooking Oha soup is fun and easy. Learn the steps here!
Titilayo Ilori
Oha soup is a traditional dish mostly eaten by the Igbos. The method of cooking this soup is similar to that of cooking Bitterleaf soup. It is one of the most special delicacies there are in Nigeria because of the Oha leaves used to prepare it.
Ingredients needed to prepare Oha soup include:
1. Vegetables.
2. Oha leaves.
3. Cocoyam.
4. Palm oil.
6. Assorted beef.
7. Shaki (cow tripe).
8. Dry fish, stock fish, crayfish.
9. Chili pepper.
10. Seasoning cube (s).
Method of cooking:
1. Grind your crayfish and pepper
Make sure you grind your crayfish and pepper.
2. Wash your cocoyam
Wash the body of the cocoyam to get rid of sand, and boil it till it is soft. When it is cooked, peel the skin and pound using a mortar and pestle till it is smooth.
3. Cut your Oha leaves
After you have separated each leaf from its stick, use your hand to cut it into pieces. If you cut your leaves with a knife, it will make the soup dark in colour
4. Boil your stock
Boil your meat, shaki, cow tripe, stock fish and dry fish. Make sure they are all soft before moving on to the next step.
5. Add Maggi, pepper and ground crayfish
Add maggi cubes, pepper and ground crayfish to the boiling stock and let it cook for 10 minutes.
6. Add your cocoyam paste
Add your cocoyam paste to your mixture and add palm oil. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15 minutes. Once the cocoyam paste is dissolved and you notice the soup is too thick, pour some water.
7. Add your Oha leaves
Your next step is to add your Oha leaves and leave to cook for another five minutes.
8. Add some salt to taste
Remember to add some salt to taste at this point and leave your pot of soup to cook for another five minutes. You can eat Oha soup with Eba, Fufu, Semolina, and Amala.

hen and chicks
My hen and chick leafs are turning red;at least I thing it red, and some of the red one look like there rioting. What is wrong with it?
Drought Smart Plants reply: Well, I'm pretty sure you don't mean rioting, maybe you mean rotting?
Yeah, these look like they are receiving way too much water, and not enough light.
You don't say where you have them, but these are outdoor plants, and will only thrive with lots of bright sunshine. They can't live indoors, as even in really bright windows, it's not enough light for them.
They also cannot under any circumstances, have too much water.
If the soil is wet, then stop watering, take the plant out of the pot, and let the soil dry out.
I mean, dry out completely.
Don't worry, if you haven't killed it by overwatering it, there is hope, but only if you do exactly as I recommend.
These plants have the ability to make new roots, if they dry out completely to replace those that are rotted.
This might be enough to save the plant, but leaving it in wet soil any longer will be the death of it for sure, if it's not too late already.
See this page for more on how to grow Sempervivum.
Best of luck with your poor sick plant,

Featured Profile
Stan Brock
Remote Area Medical
Remembered by many as the co-star of the television series Wild Kingdom, Stan Brock grew up with the Wapishana Indians in the Central Amazon Basin. "We were 25-35 day's march to the nearest town with no health care," reports Stan, who eventually cut the trip to two hours by becoming a pilot.
Before founding Remote Area MedicalÂ® and coming to Knoxville, TN where he now lives, Stan Brock spent 15 years as general manager of the Rupununi Development Company Dadanawa Ranch (Guyana), the world's largest tropical cattle ranch (area 4,000 square miles, 40,000 cattle, 2,000 horses, 1,200 sheep); with extensive range management, beef marketing, and veterinary experience; was fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and Wapishana.
Stan Brock has a rich background in exploration and discovery - he was a pioneer Amazon bush-pilot ; a noted authority on wildlife conservation and management; and an expert on rainforests and their inhabitants. He became a Research Associate of the Royal Ontario Museum, Department of Mammalogy and is the discoverer of the new species of bat now known to science as Vampyresa brockii, in the northern Amazon Basin.

Editing Tabular Report Profiles
Saving a Profile
You don't have to do this right away, but if you want to keep your Tabular Report Profile for later use then you can use the Save button on the Side Panel to update an existing profile that you are editing, or the Save As button to create a new profile from the current one.
Basic Report Configuration
A few quick notes before we get into it.
- A Tabular Report is a report for one EForm. You'll need to select the right EForm to report on, otherwise you probably won't be able to configure the report to your liking.
- Each field on an EForm has its own name and data type, so you can reference it on a Tabular Report (and other reports, but that's another story). So when you're deciding which columns to display in your Tabular Report, you're going to be selecting from the Data Fields available on the report's EForm.
In the Side Bar of the Tabular Report page, make sure the "Show Properties" Checkbox is ticked, so you can see the Properties Grid. You'll see something like this.
We'll go through all of these controls in time, but for now let's talk about the most important one – The Columns Menu. In the "Projection" heading, you'll see a property called "Columns" which specifies exactly what columns are to be included in the Tabular Report Profile. Clicking the "Choose Columns" button will open the Columns Editor.
Tabular – Report Property
Here you can edit the columns to be displayed in the report, and the order in which they'll be displayed. Some of the useful controls are:
- At the top left corner of each Column in the list, you can click and drag to reorder the column into a new position
- At the top right corner of each Column in the list, you can click the X icon to remove the column from the report.
- Use the "Name" dropdown to select an EForm Data Field. If you don't like the name it's got currently, you can use the textbox next to it to give it a nicer display name.
- The "Aggregate" dropdown lets you pick an Aggregate Function to be evaluated at the bottom of the report, so you can see the sum of all Contract values for example.
- The "Width" textbox lets you specify a width in pixels for displaying the column.
- The "Add Column" button lets you add a new column to the list.
- The "Add Remote Column", "Add Remote Link Column" and "Add Advanced Column" buttons have their own special instructions which you can find here . It's a little more advanced than the information on this article.
- The "Cancel" button at the bottom right of the window will cancel your changes and close the window. The "Accept" button will apply your changes, but you'll have to press the "Preview" button in the side bar to see what's changed on the actual report.
Once you've configured your Columns list, it's a good idea to Save so you can come back to the report later on without having to build it all over again.
Grouping and Sorting
By default, Tabular Reports are ungrouped and sorted by RecordID, which is a great way to find recently-created records. That might not be what you're after though, so here's how to change that.
- In the Side Bar's Property Grid, find the headings Grouping and Ordering .
- For either control, click the + icon to add a new entry. You can group or sort by multiple fields in the order you add them.
- Use the dropdown control that appears to select a Data Field by which to group or sort.
- If you're Sorting, you'll need to select whether the data is being sorted in Ascending or Descending order.
- To remove a Group or Sort rule, click the X button below the associated dropdown to remove it.
- Save or Preview your profile to confirm that things are working as expected.
Grouping & Sorting
There are a number of other features available for Tabular Reports, ranging from sub-tables of related data on other forms to special rules for setting result colours and profile security access. All this and more are covered in our other article about Advanced Tabular Reporting.

This means text logs, such as those from Log4net.
Not database redo/undo/transaction files
PCI says that Credit card numbers (PAN) should be sent and stored as encrypted in the database, which means only the encrypted value will appear in any database log file (whether an error log or the actual redo/undo/transaction log file). See Page 8 and item 3.4 of your document for this.
Edit, after _USER_'s observation
 - The database doesn't do encryption/decryption: only storage, no processing
 - The sending/receiving application does encryption/decryption: only processing, no storage

+1 great answer. So you're saying that by this standard the database doesn't even worry about encrypting/decrypting? It's up to the sending and receiving application to do the encryption/decryption? Do I have that right? – Thomas Stringer Jun 14 '12 at 14:11
_USER_: correct. And of course no persistence in the client code. So processing and persistence never happen in the same place. – gbn Jun 14 '12 at 14:14

Special Needs Registry
The Special Needs Registry allows residents with medical needs and organizations assisting those with social needs an opportunity to provide information to Fairfax County so that agencies can communicate emergency preparedness, response and recovery resources to our vulnerable, at risk and hard-to-reach residents.
The information collected will only be shared with Fairfax County agencies and partner agencies and organizations to improve their ability to serve and will not be available to the public.
Fairfax County defines a person with medical needs as a person who has a high-risk health condition that is either temporary or chronic who cannot manage for themselves in a shelter or evacuation center and will require assistance in performing the activities of daily living and/or will require care for and the monitoring of a health condition. For example: people with mobility impairment; people with condition which make them dependent on electricity; people with medical conditions that will require additional support during emergencies.
Medical Needs Brochure (PDF Format)
Social Needs refers to people considered to be vulnerable, at-risk, or hard to reach in the event of an emergency, but who are not medically dependent. These people may require targeted communication, transportation support, or sheltering in the event of an emergency. The nature of the assistance provided to people with social needs will be determined by the individual, the emergency and the resources available to the county.

Aurora Humanitarian Initiative
The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative was launched on behalf of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and in gratitude to their saviors. The initiative is rooted in inspiring stories of courage and survival that emerged during the Armenian Genocide, when 1.5 million Armenians perished. Those fortunate few who survived were saved by the courageous and heroic acts of institutions and individuals who intervened, at great risk. A century later, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative seeks to express gratitude, share remarkable stories of survivors and their saviors, and celebrate the strength of the human spirit.
The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative creates and supports projects designed to raise public awareness and address the world's most pressing humanitarian issues.
The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative spans a number of projects:
- The Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity: the philanthropic vision of Noubar Afeyan, Vartan Gregorian, and Ruben Vardanyan, the co-founders of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative. Together, they seek to build a humanitarian movement by drawing attention to the issues faced by the world's most vulnerable and recognizing those individuals and organizations who intervene for good.
- The Aurora Dialogues: a series of thoughtful discussions between leading members of the political, humanitarian, and business communities to raise awareness and address some of the world's most pressing humanitarian issues.
- The Aurora Humanitarian Index: an international survey exploring the causes and trends behind the "compassion gap" that exists between what the general public says they feel about humanitarian issues and how they actually engage with these crises.
- The Aurora Gratitude Scholarships: a series of international projects aimed at shaping a better future for generations to come, with a special focus on education and social development – from the Gratitude Scholarships to partnerships with NGOs that are advancing humanitarian causes.
- 100 LIVES: a global media and content creation project aimed at preserving the memory of the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide, as well as those who intervened on their behalf a century ago. It is also a platform to present the stories of the Armenian diaspora and its connections to the Armenian heritage, culture and values.
All projects are designed to honor and support deserving individuals and organizations as an expression of gratitude to the saviors who intervened on behalf of Armenians a century ago.

7.15. Window Functions
7.15. Window Functions
Window functions perform calculations across rows of the query result. They run after the HAVING clause but before the ORDER BY clause. Invoking a window function requires special syntax using the OVER clause to specify the window. A window has three components:
For example, the following query ranks orders for each clerk by price:
SELECT orderkey, clerk, totalprice,
 rank() OVER (PARTITION BY clerk
 ORDER BY totalprice DESC) AS rnk
FROM orders
ORDER BY clerk, rnk
Aggregate Functions
All Aggregate Functions can be used as window functions by adding the OVER clause. The aggregate function is computed for each row over the rows within the current row's window frame.
For example, the following query produces a rolling sum of order prices by day for each clerk:
SELECT clerk, orderdate, orderkey, totalprice,
 sum(totalprice) OVER (PARTITION BY clerk
 ORDER BY orderdate) AS rolling_sum
FROM orders
ORDER BY clerk, orderdate, orderkey
Ranking Functions
cume_dist() → bigint
Returns the cumulative distribution of a value in a group of values. The result is the number of rows preceding or peer with the row in the window ordering of the window partition divided by the total number of rows in the window partition. Thus, any tie values in the ordering will evaluate to the same distribution value.
dense_rank() → bigint
Returns the rank of a value in a group of values. This is similar to rank(), except that tie values do not produce gaps in the sequence.
ntile(n) → bigint
Divides the rows for each window partition into n buckets ranging from 1 to at most n. Bucket values will differ by at most 1. If the number of rows in the partition does not divide evenly into the number of buckets, then the remainder values are distributed one per bucket, starting with the first bucket.
For example, with 6 rows and 4 buckets, the bucket values would be as follows: 1 1 2 2 3 4
percent_rank() → double
Returns the percentage ranking of a value in group of values. The result is (r - 1) / (n - 1) where r is the rank() of the row and n is the total number of rows in the window partition.
rank() → bigint
Returns the rank of a value in a group of values. The rank is one plus the number of rows preceding the row that are not peer with the row. Thus, tie values in the ordering will produce gaps in the sequence. The ranking is performed for each window partition.
row_number() → bigint
Returns a unique, sequential number for each row, starting with one, according to the ordering of rows within the window partition.
Value Functions
first_value(x) → [same as input]
Returns the first value of the window.
last_value(x) → [same as input]
Returns the last value of the window.
nth_value(x, offset) → [same as input]
Returns the value at the specified offset from beginning the window. Offsets start at 1. The offset can be any scalar expression. If the offset is null or greater than the number of values in the window, null is returned. It is an error for the offset to be zero or negative.
lead(x[, offset[, default_value]]) → [same as input]
Returns the value at offset rows after the current row in the window. Offsets start at 0, which is the current row. The offset can be any scalar expression. The default offset is 1. If the offset is null or larger than the window, the default_value is returned, or if it is not specified null is returned.
lag(x[, offset[, default_value]]) → [same as input]
Returns the value at offset rows before the current row in the window Offsets start at 0, which is the current row. The offset can be any scalar expression. The default offset is 1. If the offset is null or larger than the window, the default_value is returned, or if it is not specified null is returned.

BURBANK : City Unveils History-Themed Work of Art
Spanish explorers were in Burbank last week. They were among the 17 images engraved in a 20-by-16-foot concrete sculpture unveiled on the corner of 3rd and Angeleno streets.
About 70 people attended a dedication ceremony Thursday, including Burbank Mayor Bill Williams and city officials.
The free-standing work, titled "Burbank Evolves," is formed of three adjoining concrete walls that depict the city's history. Indians, Spanish explorers and railroad cars are among the images engraved in the sculpture.
Tony Sheets created the piece in six weeks. The cost of the project was $27,000, funded by the city's Art in Public Places Ordinance. The ordinance requires all new commercial, industrial or public projects costing more than $500,000 to spend at least 1% of their budget for public art.
"Burbank Evolves" is part of the Burbank Courthouse parking structure built in May. It is the fifth piece the city has completed since the ordinance was adopted in 1992.

Satellite Image of Lake Carnegie in Australia
Lansat 7 (15m) Satellite Image of Lake Carnegie in Australia
Click on image to view in high resolution.
Lake Carnegie is an ephemeral lake in Western Australia. It fills with water only during very rare periods of significant rainfall, such as during the huge 1900 floods and in numerous recent tropical wet seasons when the monsoon and tropical cyclones have been moved south by recent climate change. In dry years, it is reduced to a muddy marsh.
Water entering the lake, unlike in more easterly playas of the Australian arid zone, does not come from well-defined river channels since the soils of the region are so weathered – lacking tectonic or glacial activity since the Carboniferous ice ages – that sediment is completely absent and the terrain so flat that only the most unweatherable rocks remain on the surface and well-defined river channels cannot form especially since the extreme age of the soils and consequent high rooting density of native flora limits runoff to an extreme extent.

The Swedish firm Cartana and US-based ReadCoor have recently been snapped up by the US giant 10x Genomics to get hold of their spatial transcriptomics technology. What impact will these acquisitions have on the burgeoning field going forward?
Last week, 10x Genomics took over ReadCoor for a smooth €298M ($350M). This followed the acquisition of Stockholm-based startup Cartana in September for €35M. The big consolidation by 10x Genomics is sending shockwaves throughout the small but flourishing spatial transcriptomics industry.
Spatial transcriptomics resembles regular transcriptomics, where you sequence messenger RNA found in a specific tissue, such as a tumor sample, to find out which genes are active. In addition to this, spatial transcriptomics also gives vital clues about where each gene is active within a sample.
This technology could one day transform research and diagnostics in diseases where the structure of the tissue is important. For example, the technique is currently being used to find drug targets in different parts of the brain. Additionally, it could one day be used to find out which immune cells are near a patient's tumor, which could help tailor immunotherapy treatments.
Spatial transcriptomics is part of a wider field called spatial omics, which includes multiple techniques that take into account the spatial distribution of the sample measured, such as spatial proteomics. This technology is the focus of a research hub in Stockholm called SciLifeLab.
"Spatial profiling is one of the hotter areas of research at the moment," said Joseph Bergenstråhle, a PhD student at SciLifeLab who owned stakes in Cartana.
"As the field is rapidly evolving, it is hard to speculate which, and if, any technology will stand above the others in the future. For now, the different alternatives come with their own advantages and weaknesses, and no technology excels in all aspects."
Cartana isn't the first Stockholm-based spatial transcriptomics company to be picked up by 10x Genomics. This title goes to a firm called Spatial Transcriptomics, which was purchased in late 2018.
Bergenstråhle sees 10x Genomics' latest acquisitions as an attempt to grab as much intellectual property as it can in such a diverse field. Both deals have bagged 10x Genomics over 110 new patents.
"10x Genomics has also had its fair share of patent infringements in the past, and maybe it's seeking to stand on firmer ground this time," he noted.
10x Genomics aims to integrate Cartana's technology with the technology it gained from the company Spatial Transcriptomics. The two techniques are complementary; Cartana's is more detailed with a better resolution, but has a smaller amount of genes that can be detected at a time.
"The ReadCoor acquisition is more curious," said Bergenstråhle. "There is no publicly available data on how well the system performs, and if its promises are true, it would be a direct competitor to the company's existing product lineup."
According to Bergenstråhle, it's possible that the merged technology of Cartana and Spatial Transcriptomics could serve as a cheap service for clients that want spatial assays carried out on samples. ReadCoor's technology — based on research carried out by George Church and his colleagues in the US — is more expensive, complex, and automated, so could benefit bigger clients.
With ReadCoor and Cartana now absorbed into 10x Genomics, there are two fewer independent companies in the small spatial transcriptomics field. One of the remaining big players is the US firm NanoString Technologies. Bergenstråhle believes that it's too early in the game to know how this landscape of potentially little competition might affect pricing for clients.
"As of now, these platforms are optimized for different use cases. The price pressure is therefore low in general," he told me. "While consolidation in general could reduce future competitiveness in the market, I would rather picture the prices coming down to draw broader adoption and larger-scale customers. It's still very early days."
The spatial transcriptomics field is moving fast. Bergenstråhle sees researchers increasingly focusing on integrating spatial transcriptomics with spatial epigenomics and other techniques. Additionally, he hinted at a few startups that are currently in stealth mode.
"I'm confident we have not seen the last entrant—or acquisition—for that matter."

2 Answers 2
I will not give you the numerical solution, but I will below explain some analytical simplifications that I believe are required to solve the numerical problem. The strategy is simple: try to express all the parameters of the integral in term of dimensionless variables. To achieve a discussion in term of $\delta = \Delta(T) / \Delta(T=0)$ and $\tau = T / T_{c}$ a bit of work is required, that's what I do in the first section below. The second section give the final result, that you can check numerically.
Please first note the related question Interaction strength in BCS theory, where I also gave some remarks about the method and some numerical value for the parameter $$\eta = \frac{1}{N(0)V}$$, the (inverse) interaction strength. At the end of the calculation, this will turn out to be the only parameter you need.
In the following, the equation numbers are those of the original BCS paper [Bardeen, J., Cooper, L. N., & Schrieffer, J. R. ; Theory of Superconductivity. Physical Review, 108, 1175–1204 (1957). _URL_ -> free to read on the APS website]. I change a bit their notation, though, the gap parameter will be called $\Delta$ instead of $\varepsilon_{0}$, and the Debye frequency will be noted $\omega_{D}$ instead of the BCS $\omega$. Subsequently, here $\Delta_0=\Delta\left(T=0\right)$ for simplicity. I've tried to be as explicit as I could, such that in principle there is no need to check the BCS paper, except for the first equation (the self-consistent gap equation, see below).
Somme preparatory calculations: the universal law
Let us start with the self-consistent integral of the gap:
$$\eta = \int_{0}^{\hslash \omega_{D}}\tanh \frac{\sqrt{\Delta^{2}+\xi^{2}}}{2k_{B}T}\frac{d\xi}{\sqrt{\Delta^{2}+\xi^{2}}}$$
where $\Delta=\Delta(T)$ is a short hand. We will first discuss an expression for the critical temperature $T_{c}$, then for the gap amplitude $\Delta_{0}$ at zero temperature, to end-up with a universal relation between $\Delta_{0}$ and $T_{c}$.
1.Critical temperature
The critical transition temperature $T=T_{c}$ is given by the above integral at the onset of $\Delta$. Say differently, $\Delta(T_{c})=0$. Then, $T_{c}$ is given by the integral relation
$$\eta = \int_{0}^{\hslash \omega_{D}}\tanh \frac{\xi}{2k_{B}T_{c}}\frac{d\xi}{\xi} = \int_{0}^{\kappa} \frac{\tanh z}{z} dz$$
since $\xi$ is a positive variable (representing the kinetic energy). I defined $\kappa = \hslash \omega_{D} / 2 k_{B} T_{c} $ in the above integral. This integral is badly defined at its lower boundary, but can be evaluated by an integration by part
$$\int_{0}^{\kappa} \frac{\tanh z}{z} dz = \left. \ln z \tanh z \right|_{0} ^{\kappa} - \int_{0}^{\kappa} \frac{\ln z}{\cosh^2z}dz$$
where the first term is exactly evaluated, and the second one is approximated
$$\int_{0}^{\kappa} \frac{\tanh z}{z} dz \approx \ln \kappa - \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\ln z}{\cosh^2z}dz = \ln \kappa + \ln \frac{4 e^{\gamma}}{\pi}$$
for small enough $T_{c}$ or large enough Debye cut-off (large $\kappa$). The second integral is still badly defined at its lower boundary, but it is well tabulated and written in terms of the Euler constant $\gamma$.
Collecting all we have done so far, we have
$$\eta \approx \ln \frac{4e^{\gamma}\kappa}{\pi} \;\; ; \;\; \kappa \gg 1$$
or equivalently the important relation
$$\frac{k_{B}T_{c}}{\hslash\omega_{D}} \approx \frac{2e^{\gamma}}{\pi}e^{-\eta} \approx 1.134 e^{-\eta} \;\; ; \;\; \hslash\omega_{D} \gg k_{B}T_{c}$$
which helps you numerically finding the critical temperature. This is Eq.(3.29) of BCS paper. This equation has important consequences. The most important of them is that it is impossible to find $T_{c}$ by perturbation expansion of the interaction strength $\eta^{-1}$. This point (among others, like the absence of quantum mechanics -- hence QM of many-body -- when superconductivity was discovered) explain the long waiting before an efficient theory of superconductivity was discovered.
2. Zero-temperature gap
The previous (long) discussion is just a numerical help for the critical temperature. Let us now find a simple evaluation of $\Delta_{0}$, the gap at zero temperature. At zero temperature, the self-consistent equation is just
$$\eta=\int_{0}^{\hslash \omega_{D}}\frac{d\xi}{\sqrt{\xi^{2}+\Delta_{0}^{2}}} \Rightarrow \boxed{\dfrac{\hslash \omega_{D}}{\Delta_{0}}=\sinh \eta}$$
since the integral can be calculated exactly. This is equation (2.40) of BCS paper.
3. Universal BCS relation
Now, the important point. We have above two evaluations of $\eta$, one dependent of $T_{c}$, the other one dependent on $\Delta_{0}$. Then, one has
$$\frac{\hslash \omega_{D}}{\Delta_{0}} = \sinh \ln \frac{4e^{\gamma}\kappa}{\pi}$$
, which, for small $\Delta_{0} / \hslash \omega_{D}$, gives approximately (NB: the equation to resolve is a second order polynomial equation in $\kappa$, so it has two solutions. Only the positive solution must be retain, since all the parameters are positive) the approximate BCS universal law for weak coupling
$$\boxed{ \Delta_{0} \approx 1.76 \; k_{B}T_{c}} \;\; ; \;\; \hslash \omega_{D} \gg \Delta_{0}$$
almost the Eq.(3.30) of BCS (their numerical prefactor is 1.75, not 1.76, but that's what I found using Maple actually). One can check the asymptotic relation used twice above: $\hslash\omega_{D}\gg \left(k_{B}T_{c}, \Delta_{0} \right)$ since $\Delta_{0}$ and $k_{B}T_{c}$ are of the same order of magnitude through the universal BCS law.
This important point of the above (long...) discussion is that we end up with a universal law linking the gap parameter at zero temperature, and the critical temperature of all BCS superconductors. This can be used to define what a BCS superconductor is, but I'm not sure a non-BCS superconductor has a commonly accepted definition as violating the previous expression.
The universal version for weak coupling
Using all the above expressions, in particular what I called the universal law $\Delta_{0} \approx 1.76 k_{B}T_{c}$ and the exact result $\hslash \omega_{D}/\Delta_{0}=\sinh \eta$, one obtain easily
$$\eta \approx \int_{0}^{\delta^{-1}\sinh\eta}\tanh\left(0.882 \frac{\delta}{\tau}\sqrt{1+z^{2}}\right)\frac{dz}{\sqrt{1+z^{2}}}$$
with $\delta=\Delta(T)/\Delta_{0}$ and $\tau = T / T_{c}$. NB: I putted the numerical factor $0.882$ instead of $1

How Long Do Rabbits Breed?
Image Source
Rabbits indeed have a higher rate of reproduction than any other livestock. They then turn to be sexually mature in just several months of giving birth. Surely, they have a short-term pregnancy period. They can best produce huge litters while staying unique in the re-breeding process after kindling. Following a breeding program, it is when a doe can have sixty-weaned young every year. Intensive breeding somehow may not be recommended. But, this is what we advised for most beginners.
Below is essential info that you must know with rabbit breeding.
When you set up a breeding system for the rabbits, you need to think about the purpose of raising them. If you want to raise them for the sake of meat, you may produce a lot of fryers. If you want more to show rabbits, you may have just a few litters every year. Time them to bring about a stock of the right age-specific for showing.
The schedules of breeding rabbits follow a seven-day interval to make recordkeeping convenient and easy. A lot of commercial producers of rabbit breed do fourteen to twenty-one days right after kindling. We recommend a thirty-five breed-back schedule in here. Reduce the interval between breeding and kindling while still gaining experience. Intensive form of breeding programs can increase the does put down or culled yearly because of "burn out."
With whatever breeding schedule that you follow, check the condition of the rabbits. This also is before you even mater them. It is not a wiser decision having to mate a doe in its poor condition. That also is when one is nursing a large litter twenty-one days following kindling. This will only affect the reproductive performance of the mother rabbit. That's when poor fertility became the result here. A high death rate or a small litter in the young is as well produced.
Make sure the doe is in its good health conditions. This will potentially limit the chances of problems. Mate at the same time, like twenty-eight to thirty-two days later. This will ensure that fostering the young is just easier provided that it is necessary.
It is expected that the does will produce at about 7 or 8 young in the litter. Nevertheless, they may have bigger or smaller litters. It will depend on the specific rabbit species.
Proper Age for Breeding
There are various breeds of rabbits that can reach their sexual maturity. This falls down to various ages. It's when smaller breeds can turn to be sexually mature at an earlier time than the bigger breeds. The Polish or the small breeds can also be bred at about four to five months.
For the medium breeds like the Californians and New Zealand, they sexually mature at around six to seven months. The Flemish Giant, as among those giant breeds, should at least be at seven months of age before they are bred.
As for the female rabbit breeds, they must reach the level of sexual maturity at an earlier time as compared to males. Does of the same age can be produced than bucks. Better watch this video to become fully guided by the proper age for breeding among rabbits, (
Knowing the Mating Season
Once it does have become fully-receptive towards mating, they then become in heat. They would often act restless while rubbing their chins on the water and feed containers. They show their desire to be with other rabbits. As for the vulva of does, it becomes slightly swollen, reddish, and moist.
Now for a dry, pale, and small vulva, the doe is not yet ready for breeding. It may present itself while lying on its stomach or lifting its tail once touched. That's in the case of it being in heat. Before the mating attempts, the doe and the buck must be examined both. They should fall in their good condition while freeing themselves from injury and disease.
Take the doe to the cage of the buck for mating. It is so far considered a territorial while when another animal is placed in its cage; it can become defensive. When a buck is also placed in another type of cage, it will take time to sniff around the cage. That is true even before the process of breeding the doe.
If the doe is now ready for the mating process with an experienced and active buck, the mating will now occur right away. Mating an inexperienced and young stock will demand more time as compared to mating just experienced breeders. In the completion of the mating process, it's when the buck will fall over at the back or on the side.
Facing Breeding Issues

Rabbits tend to decline in their productivity level, especially in the late fall, summer, and just early winter. Both conception and reception rate decrease at this time. Choosing breeders from the stock that will produce well every year will bring about good production.
 - Temporary Sterility. Exposing rabbits to temperature over 85-degrees Fahrenheit for five consecutive days bring about temporary sterility. This is true in regard to bucks. Even old bucks can become more exposed to heat as compared to younger bucks. They may remain sterile for sixty to ninety days. The good thing is that male sterility brought about by hot weather is reduced. We recommend that you breed bucks in the rabbitry. You should then mate them more often.
 - False pregnancy or pseudopregnancy. This is a known condition of does that makes them look pregnant, but they are not. This is often the result of physical stimulation or sterile mating. This is because one is mounted by a rabbit causing such a physiological response on the part of the doe.
The pseudopregnancy can last for about seventeen days. This is when the doe will never breed. It may create a nest even if it is not expecting. Even if the condition may seem normal without bringing harm to the doe, it will then delay the breeding process.
 - Incapable of Conceiving After Mating. One more reproductive problem occurs when the doe is not capable of conceiving right after mating. This is due to the reason that they already have been out of production or are overweight for a long time.
 - Excessive and overweight. Excessive and overweight bucks can bring about a problem. This is due to the reason that they lack sexual desire, and they become lazy. Old age, poor physical condition, inadequate nutrition, injury, and other essential factors can bring about reproductive problems. As an owner of this pet rabbit, you must keep the breeding animal in a healthy, active, and trim condition. This will mean to say the best performance in reproduction.

Breeding Meeting the Perfect Standard
Image Source
Do not breed sisters to brothers when it comes to rabbits. Some combinations are just perfectly fine like a son to mother, daughter to father, cousins, and more. Provided that you have gained knowledge in the way that inbreeding works with genetics, it is recommended to not breed close pairs.
Mate only similar breeds together. This is also unless you want to get some meat rabbits with specific characteristics. This is also as you do genetic experiments, or you never care about the offspring and its fate.
Mate rabbits having the same breed and different colors. There are possibilities of combinations when it comes to mixing colors. What we suggest is for you to mate rabbits of the same color to begin off. This is also until you already know about the way that colors interact. Try to check this one out ( prior to breeding.
Breeding rabbits require an owner like you to become responsible at it. Prepare for the tears, smiles, laughter, and shock. Let others read this article and share it with them. You may have understood it clearly how long do rabbits breed. You can get ready with the entire breeding process!

Writing and Viewing User Activity Log Events
Writing and Viewing User Activity Log Events
You can write user activity log events to a file or display it in the command line when you use the infacmd isp getUserActivityLog command. Write the user activity log events to the format based on how you plan to use the exported log events file.
Writing and Viewing Log Files
To write the user activity log events to a file, run the command with the output file parameter -lo:
-lo output_file_name
If you do not specify an output format, the command writes the log events to a text file. For example, run the following command to write log events to a file named log.txt:
infacmd isp getUserActivityLog -dn TestDomain -un Administrator -pd Administrator -lo log.txt
To specify an output format, run the command with the format parameter -fm:
-fm output_format_BIN_TEXT_XML
Valid formats include:
 - Bin (binary). Use binary format to back up the log events in binary format. You might need to use this format to send log events to Informatica Global Customer Support
 - Text. Use text format if you want to analyze the log events in a text editor.
 - XML. Use XML format if you want to analyze log events in an external tool that uses XML or if you want to use XML tools, such as XSLT.
If you specify text or XML as the output format, but you do not specify an output file, the command displays the text or XML log on the command line.
If you specify binary as the output format, you must provide an output file name.
For example, run the following command to print log events to a file named log.xml:
infacmd isp getUserActivityLog -dn TestDomain -un Administrator -pd Administrator -fm xml -lo log.xml
Converting Log Files
If you use the getUserActivity command to write log events to a binary file, you can convert the file to text or XML format.
Run the following command to convert a binary log you retrieved to text or XML format:
infacmd isp convertUserActivityLogFile -in BIN_input_file_name -fm output_format_TEXT_XML -lo output_file_name
For example, run the following command to convert a binary input file named log.bin to XML format and output it to a file named convertedLog.xml:
infacmd isp convertUserActivityLogFile -in log.bin -fm XML -lo convertedLog.xml
To display the log on the command line, omit the output file name.
If you omit the format, the command uses the text format.

BACKGROUND Rib fractures (RFx) remain the most prevalent injury in an elderly population that will increase from 40 to 81 million for the next 30 years. We sought to create an accurate cost-effective algorithm to triage elderly patients with RFx that accounted for both frailty and trauma burden. METHODS Retrospective analysis evaluated 400 patients older than 55 years with RFx admitted to a level 1 trauma center from 2007 to 2012. Comorbidities included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, tobacco use, obesity, and nutrition and functional status. Trauma burden included RFx, tube thoracostomy, pulmonary contusions, and spine and extremity fractures. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores lower than 13, thoracoabdominal surgery, or deaths from other causes were excluded. Comparative analysis used bivariate and logistic regression. Variables contributing to intubation (INT) and pneumonia (PNA) were then used to create a scoring system to predict the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. RESULTS Six variables increased the risk for INT or PNA: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, low albumin, assisted status, tube thoracostomy, Injury Severity Score, and RFx (p < 0.05). These six variables and congestive heart failure (odds ratio, 1.9; p = 0.06) were used to create a predictive model with the following scores assigned respectively: 1.4, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.1(n), 0.1(n), and 0.6. A score lower than 3.7 had a sensitivity and specificity of 78.5% and 78.9%. The negative predictive value was 94.5% for INT or PNA, suggesting a low risk for ICU requirement. Ninety-two ICU admissions had a score lower than 3.7. Forty had no other indication for ICU admission aside from RFx. These patients had an average ICU length of stay of 1.7 days, resulting in an increased cost of $2,200 per patient. CONCLUSION A scoring system combining frailty and trauma burden may provide more accurate and cost-effective triage of the elderly trauma patient with RFx. Further prospective studies are required to verify our scoring system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and epidemiologic study, level III.

Nikujaga from Just One Cookbook on Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner
1 large onion
1/2 carrot
2 medium potatoes
1/2 lb thinly sliced meat (usually beef or pork)
1 pkg shirataki noodles
A couple of snow peas/green beans/green peas for decoration, accenting green color.
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cup (500ml) dashi stock
4 Tbsp. mirin
4 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. sake
1 Tbsp. sugar
1. Make dashi stock.
3. Cut the potatoes into 4 wedges and smooth the edge of potatoes. If the pieces have sharp edges then they are likely to break into pieces during the cooking process from bumping into each other. We call this Japanese cutting technique mentori. Soak the potatoes in water to prevent from changing color.
4. Cut the sliced meat in half. Rinse and drain shirataki noodles.
7. In a large pot, heat oil on medium heat and sauté the onion.
9. Add the potatoes, carrots, and shirataki noodles.
10. Add dashi stock and Seasonings bring to a boil.
11. Once boiling, turn down the heat to medium and skim off the scum. Make sure all the ingredients are flat and most of ingredients are covered by the soup.
12. Place otoshibuta and simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked. Otoshibuta is necessary to maintain the shape of the vegetables being stewed. Do not mix the ingredients while cooking; Otoshibuta will help the flavor circulate automatically.
Nikujaga tastes even better the second day so don't worry if you can' finish all the food.

An Odd Boston Common Monument
Usually, in public places, especially those with a lot of history, monuments often commemorate an important person or event: the Lincoln Memorial, various war memorials, and so on. The Boston Common is no different, with several large memorials featured prominently. And then there's this odd looking gravestone-like monument just kinda off to the side of the Common (nearest to Beacon Street), which I had never noticed until a couple of weeks ago:
What this all about? Well:
Using the Google, we learn the following about the Oneida Football Club of Boston:
The Oneida Football Club, founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1862, was the first organized team to play any kind of football in the United States. The game played by the club, known as the "Boston game", was an informal local variant that predated the codification of rules for soccer, rugby, or American football. The team, which consisted of graduates of Boston's elite preparatory schools, played on Boston Common from 1862–1865, during which time they reportedly never lost a game or even gave up a single point.
Thousands of years from now, archaeologists are going to go nuts trying to figure out the significance of this.

Barnaby, a Sedum Morganianum, Donkey Tail or Burro's Tail, is a member of the wider succulent family and native to Mexico and Honduras.
As you might have guessed, Barnaby's leaves resembles the tail of a donkey or rabbit, and in the wild his stems would happily trail up to 60cm long flowering pink to red star shaped flowers throughout summer!
Barnaby, Sedum Morganianum Burrito
Barnaby prefers bright indirect light, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn't go a miss.
If you're not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun

As a result of the intense air-water interaction in the spray nozzle, air-mist spray is one of the most promising technologies for attaining high heat transfer. CFD simulations and multivariable linear regression were used in the first part of this study to analyze the air-mist spray produced by a flat-fan atomizer and to predict the heat transfer coefficient using the casting operating conditions such as air pressure, water flow rate, cast speed and standoff distance. For the air-mist spray cooling simulation, a four-step simulation method was utilized to capture the turbulent flow and mixing of the two fluids in the nozzle, as well as the generation, transport, and heat transfer of droplets. Analysis of the casting parameters showed that an increase in air pressure results in efficient atomization, increases the kinetic energy of the droplets and produces smaller droplet size thus, the cooling of the slab increases significantly. Also, a decrease in water flow rate, standoff distance and casting speed would result in more efficient cooling of the steel slab. The second part of the study investigated the solidification of steel in the secondary cooling region. Caster geometry and casting parameters were studied to evaluate their impact on the solidification of steel. The parameters studied include roll gap, roll diameter, casting speed and superheat. It was found that a smaller ratio of roll gap to roll diameter is more efficient for adequate solidification of steel without any defect. Casting speed was found to have a significant effect on the solidification of steel while superheat was found to be insignificant in the secondary zone solidification. The result from the air-mist spray cooling was integrated into the solidification model to investigate the solidification of steel in the entire caster and predict the surface temperature, shell growth and metallurgical length. To replicate real casting process, temperature dependent material properties of the steel were evaluated using a thermodynamic software, JMatPro. The air-mist spray model was majorly investigated using ANSYS Fluent 2020R1 CFD tool while the solidification of steel was studied using STARCCM+ CFD software. Using the findings from this study, continuous casting processes and optimization can be improved.

Recovery of Freshwater Stored in Saline Aquifers in Peninsular Floridaby Michael L. Merritt, US Geological Survey, Miami, FL, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Water Forum '86: World Water Issues in Evolution
Abstract: Subsurface freshwater storage has been operationally tested at seven sites in central and south Florida. Injection was into a high chloride water aquifer at six sites, and into a high sulfate water aquifer at the seventh. Recovery efficiency has ranged from 0 to 75 percent in high chloride water aquifers, and has exceeded 100 percent in the high sulfate water aquifer. Computer modeling techniques were used to examine the geohydrologic, design, and management factors governing the recovery efficiency of subsurface freshwater storage. The modeling approach permitted many combinations of geohydrologic and operational conditions to be studied at relatively low cost.

Checking For Global Variables
With all the reusable JavaScript code that we write, there comes some times when we have to rely on the developer using the reusable code to set up some global JavaScript variables that the code reads to determine settings. For example, there may be a time when you want to automatically generate a table and use that in several different web sites. But the table may have alternate row colors, and the values for those colors need to be set in global JavaScript variables that are read by the reusable code.
However, we have found that sometimes developers don't read the documentation on how to set up a reusable piece of code, and will omit the global JavaScript variable. So when that reusable code is executed, an error message happens because the variable has not been defined.
To get around this, we have gotten in the habit of checking to see if a variable has been defined. This is actually pretty easy to do in JavaScript, but it's not something you would normally think of. The first thing we tried was:
if (globalVariable) {
But this wouldn't work. That code is actually checking to see if the defined variable globalVariable has a null value. If the variable has not been defined, that code will cause an error.
Instead, here is the code that will check for the presence of a global variable:
if (window.globalVariable) {
A global variable automatically becomes a part of the window object. So checking to see if the window object has that "property" means checking to see if the variable has been defined or not. Going into the if block means the variable has been defined and can be used as you would normally use a global variable.


Android Phone Black Screen
Have you ever experienced the frustration of your Android phone suddenly displaying a black screen? If so, you're not alone. This common issue can be caused by a variety of factors, from software glitches to hardware malfunctions. In this article, we'll explore the causes of an Android phone black screen and provide you with some helpful tips on how to fix it.
**Causes of an Android Phone Black Screen**
There are several potential reasons why your Android phone may be showing a black screen. One common cause is a software glitch, which can occur when the operating system crashes or freezes. This can happen if you have too many apps running at once or if you haven't updated your phone's software in a while. Another possible cause is a hardware malfunction, such as a faulty display or a drained battery.
**Tips for Fixing an Android Phone Black Screen**
If you're dealing with an Android phone black screen, don't panic. There are several steps you can take to try to fix the issue. Here are some tips to help you get your phone up and running again:
1. **Restart Your Phone**: The first thing you should try is restarting your phone. This can help clear out any temporary glitches that may be causing the black screen.
2. **Charge Your Phone**: If your phone's battery is low, it may not have enough power to display anything on the screen. Try plugging in your phone and letting it charge for a while before turning it back on.
3. **Boot in Safe Mode**: Booting your phone in safe mode can help you determine if a third-party app is causing the black screen. To do this, press and hold the power button, then press and hold the "Power off" option until you see the safe mode prompt.
4. **Factory Reset**: If all else fails, you may need to perform a factory reset on your phone. Keep in mind that this will erase all of your data, so be sure to back up your information before proceeding.
**Conclusion**
Dealing with an Android phone black screen can be frustrating, but with the right troubleshooting steps, you can often resolve the issue on your own. If you're still having trouble after trying these tips, it may be time to consult with a professional or contact your phone's manufacturer for further assistance.

Volcanic eruptions are generally viewed as agents of destruction, yet they provide the parent materials from which some of the most productive soils in the world are formed. The high productivity results from a combination of unique physical, chemical and mineralogical properties. The importance and uniqueness of volcanic ash soils are exemplified by the recent establishment of the Andisol soil order in Soil Taxonomy. This book provides the first comprehensive synthesis of all aspects of volcanic ash soils in a single volume. It contains in-depth coverage of important topics including terminology, morphology, genesis, classification, mineralogy, chemistry, physical properties, productivity and utilization. A wealth of data (37 tables, 81 figures, and Appendix) mainly from the Tohoku University Andisol Data Base is used to illustrate major concepts. Twelve color plates provide a valuable visual-aid and complement the text description of the world-wide distribution for volcanic ash soils.
This volume will serve as a valuable reference for soil scientists, plant scientists, ecologists and geochemists interested in biogeochemical processes occurring in soils derived form volcanic ejecta.

A transect is a path along which one counts and records occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants).
It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path. This results in an estimate of the area covered and an estimate of the way in which detectability increases from probability 0 (far from the path) towards 1 (near the path). Using the raw count and this probability function, one can arrive at an estimate of the actual density of objects.
The estimation of the abundance of populations (such as terrestrial mammal species) can be achieved using a number of different types of transect methods, such as strip transects, line transects, belt transects, point transects and curved line transects.
New Urbanist town planners use the term transect to refer to the continuum of land uses from an urban core to a rural boundary. General New Urban transect classifications (from highest to lowest density) are: urban core, urban centre, general urban, suburban, rural, and natural.

Abstract: There are several proposed or developed systems to locate faults on power transmission Lines. The conventional systems employ methods that are very different from the proposed one. They are based on transient detection on phase cables and make the measurements only at the edges of the transmission line to estimate the fault position. These systems do not perform well with branched transmission lines because of line reactions at the branching points, and neither with parallel lines because of the mutual coupling of adjacent circuits. Here, we propose a new method to locate faults on transmission towers. Line-to-ground Or line-to-line faults induce voltages, which on partially to ground through the towers. In the towers closest to the fault position, the voltages are greater and this behaviour can be used to locate the fault
