Declaration of Dresden (1982)
ICOMOS Symposia
The Declaration of Dresden is concerned with the reconstruction of monuments destroyed by war. It calls for documentation of monuments as a means to ensure their protection in times of conflict and notes the reasons and techniques for reconstruction as well the importance of exchanging knowledge between nations as a way to ensure appreciation and protection of this heritage. The Declaration supports earlier recommendations by UNESCO and the ICOMOS General Assembly on the prevention of war and calls for international cooperation and disarmament in order to prevent war.

The effects of temperature variations on the tilt measured by long fluid tube tiltmeters are examined in detail. Temperature effects are important both in instruments which measure tilt as changes in fluid level between the ends of a fluid-filled tube and in instruments which measure tilt as changes in fluid pressure. Methods are outlined for reducing temperature effects in both types of tiltmeters. A new temperature-compensating method for fluid pressure tiltmeters is demonstrated both in theory and in practice. The method requires that the fluid-filled tube(s) connecting the pressure transducer to the end reservoir(s) be laid at a constant small angle to the horizontal. Tiltmeters which use a horizontal half-filled fluid tube are recommended on the grounds of long-term stability and freedom from temperature effects.

The Vuyo Lab, based at Stellenbosch University, is named after its founder, Dr. Vuyo Mavumengwana who is a biochemist passionate about using natural products to fight disease. He believes that the plants, bacteria and fungi of the Fynbos ecosystem have the potential to yield new and effective drugs for diseases like breast cancer, brain cancer and tuberculosis. Recently, the Vuyo Lab made some exciting discoveries from Fynbos plants sampled at the Grootbos Nature Reserve. They identified four plants, Eriocephalus racemosa, Erica glabella, Hippia frutescens and Salvia africana-lutea, which contain a variety of bioactive compounds that kill breast cancer cells. These four plants are therefore potential candidates for drug development. Besides anticancer projects, other projects in the Vuyo Lab include evaluating Fynbos plants for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities for the discovery of new tuberculosis drugs. The Vuyo Lab welcomes all forms of collaboration that will facilitate the discovery of effective pharmaceutical agents using natural products.

As an important parameter of structural health monitoring, strain can be an important indicator for stress concentration and crack development. And stress/crack can effectively evaluate the health status of the structure. Micro-strip antenna strain sensing technology, as a passive wireless detection technology, is of great significance to the health monitoring of high-end equipment bearing structures. In this work, the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is combined with the micro-strip antenna technology. And the micro-strip antenna is used as the tag antenna to receive the energy emitted by the RFID reader and activate the tag chip of the RFID. Then the signal modulation technology is used to eliminate the noise interference in the environment, and the resonant frequency of the antenna changes with the strain/crack information is returned to the reader to realize the passive wireless strain and crack detection. Through the experiment, it proves that under different strain/crack states, the resonant frequency of the RFID-based antenna sensor decreases with the increase of strain or the increase of the depth of the crack.

Montane reed frog description
Like many frogs within its genus, Hyperolius castaneus displays remarkable variation in appearance (3) (4). The smooth skin of this species is consistently yellow to red underneath, but the colouration and patterning on the back varies considerably. Some have green backs with numerous diffuse dark spots, while others have brown backs, occasionally flecked with black spots. In addition, some forms have an irregular lateral line, running along the side of the body and varying from light to dark (2). Equipped with fairly long limbs and large toe pads, many Hyperolius species are adept climbers (4) (5).Top
Montane reed frog biology
Along with many other species in the genus, Hyperolius castaneus is yet to be the subject of a comprehensive study. However, this nocturnal species is particularly noted for its gliding ability (7). In the wet season the reed frogs tend to gather near water, preferably smaller temporary water bodies, where they breed. However, very little is known of their whereabouts outside the breeding season (8). Most, if not all, Hyperolius species from forest habitats deposit eggs in a gelatinous mass on vegetation above water, while some savanna-living species lay their eggs aquatically (5) (8).Top
Montane reed frog range
Hyperolius castaneus is found in the Albertine Rift, one of the richest sites for biodiversity in Africa. Its range stretches through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, western Rwanda, western Burundi, and south-western Uganda (1) (6).Top
Montane reed frog habitat
Inhabits swamps in grassland and forest, between 1,600 and 2,850 metres above sea level (1).Top
Montane reed frog status
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).Top
Montane reed frog threats
Although a relatively abundant species, the distribution of Hyperolius castaneus is severely fragmented and its population is probably declining because of a decrease in the quality and extent of swamp habitat. Habitat conversion for agriculture and encroaching human settlement are thought to be principally responsible for habitat degradation in the Albertine Rift (1)Top
Montane reed frog conservation
There are no known conservation measures for Hyperolius castaneus but it is known to be present in at least two protected areas, Bwindi National Park in Uganda and the Virungas National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1).Top

For a type theory, by consistency, I mean that it has a type which is not inhabited. From the strong normalization of the lambda cube, it follows that system $F$ and system $F_\omega$ are consistent. MLTT + inductive types also has a normalization proof. However, these should all be powerful enough to construct a model of PA, which proves that PA is consistent from these theories. System $F$ is quite powerful, so I expect it to be able to prove the consistency of PA by constructing a model using Church numerals. MLTT + IT has a natural numbers inductive type and should prove consistency as well.
This all implies that the normalization proofs for these theories can't be internalized in PA. So:
 1. Can system $F$, system $F_\omega$, and MLTT + IT actually prove the consistency of PA?
 2. If they can, then what metatheory is needed to prove normalization for system $F$, $F_\omega$, and MLTT+IT?
 3. Is there a good reference for the proof theory of type theories in general, or for some of these type theories in particular?
 - $\begingroup$ In System F you won't get an induction principle for your Church numerals so they're out of the equations. $\endgroup$ – gallais Nov 21 '16 at 10:37
The short answer to your question 1 is no, but for perhaps subtle reasons.
First of all, System $F$ and $F_\omega$ cannot express the first-order theory of arithmetic, and even less the consistency of $\mathrm{PA}$.
Secondly, and this is really surprising, $\mathrm{PA}$ can actually prove consistency of both those systems! This is done using the so-called proof-irrelevant model, which interprets types as sets $\in\{\varnothing,\{\bullet\}\}$, where $\bullet$ is some dummy element representing an inhabitant of a non-empty type. Then one can write down simple rules for the operation of $\rightarrow$ and $\forall$ on such types rather easily to get a model for system $F$, in which the type $\forall X.X$ is interpreted by $\varnothing$. One can do a similar thing for $F_\omega$, using a bit more care to interpret higher kinds as finite functions spaces.
There's an apparent paradox here, where $\mathrm{PA}$ can prove consistency of these seemingly powerful systems, but not (as I'll show in a moment) normalization.
The missing ingredient here is realizability. Realizability is a way to make certain programs correspond to certain propositions, typically in arithmetic. I won't go into the details here, but if a program $p$ realizes a proposition $\phi$, written $p\Vdash \phi$, then we have a certain piece of evidence for $\phi$, in particular if $p$ is normalizing, then $p\not\Vdash\bot$. We have:
Theorem: If $\phi$ is a theorem of 2nd order arithmetic $\mathrm{PA}_2$, then there is some closed term $t$ of system $F$ such that $$ t\Vdash\phi$$
This theorem can be proven in $\mathrm{PA}$, and so we have $$\mathrm{PA}\vdash F\mbox{ is normalizing}\Rightarrow\mbox{$\mathrm{PA}_2$ is consistent} $$ and Gödel's argument applies (and $\mathrm{PA}$ cannot prove normalization of system $F$). It's useful to note that the reverse implication holds as well, so we have an exact characterization of the proof-theoretic power needed to prove normalization of system $F$.
There is a similar story for system $F_\omega$, which, I believe, corresponds to higher arithmetic $\mathrm{PA}_\omega$.
Finally, we have the tricky case of MLTT with inductive types. Here again a somewhat subtle issue arises. Certainly here we can express the consistency of $\mathrm{PA}$, so that isn't an issue, and there is no proof-irrelevant model, as we can prove that the type $\mathrm{Nat}$ has at least 2 elements (an infinite amount of distinct elements, in fact).
However we run into a surprising fact of higher-order intuitionistic theories: $\mathrm{HA}_\omega$, the higher-order version of Heyting Arithmetic is conservative over $\mathrm{HA}$! In particular, we cannot prove consistency of $\mathrm{PA}$, (which is equivalent to that of $\mathrm{HA}$). An intuitive reason for this is that intuitionistic function spaces do not allow you to quantify over arbitrary subset of $\mathbb{N}$, since all definable functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ must be computable.
In particular, I don't think you can prove consistency of $\mathrm{PA}$ if you add only natural numbers to MLTT without universes. I do believe adding either universes or "stronger" inductive types (like ordinal types) will give you enough power though, but I'm afraid I have no reference for this. With universes, the argument seems quite simple though, since you have enough set theory to build a model of $\mathrm{HA}$.
Finally, references for the proof theory of type systems: there's really a gap in the literature here I think, and I would relish a clean treatment of all these subjects (in fact, I dream of writing it myself some day!). In the meantime:
 - The proof-irrelevant model is explained here by Miquel and Werner, though they do it for the Calculus of Constructions, which complicates matters somewhat.
 - The realizability argument is sketched in the classic Proofs and Types of Girard, Taylor and Lafont. I think they also sketch the proof-irrelevant model, and a great deal of useful things besides. It's probably the first reference to read.
 - The conservativity argument of higher-order Heyting arithmetic can be found in the elusive second volume of Constructivism in Mathematics by Troelstra & van Dalen (see here). Both volumes are extremely informative, but quite difficult to read for a novice, IMHO. It also somewhat avoids "modern" type theory subjects, which is unsurprising given the books' age.
An additional question in the comments was about the exact consistency strength/normalization strength of MLTT+Inductives. I don't have a precise answer here, but certainly the answer depends on the number of universes and the nature of the inductive families allowed. Rathjen explores this question in the excellent paper The Strength of some Martin-Lof Type theories.
Wrt normalization, the basic idea is that if, for 2 theories $\cal{T}$ and $\cal{U}$, we have $$\mathrm{PA}\vdash\mathrm{Con}(\cal{T})\Rightarrow\mathrm{Con}(\cal{U}) $$
then, generally
$$\mathrm{PA}\vdash \mbox{1-$\mathrm{Con}$}(\cal{T})\Rightarrow\mathrm{Norm}(\cal{U}) $$
where 1-$\mathrm{Con}$ is 1-consistency and $\mathrm{Norm}$ is (weak) normalization.
MLTT + the type of natural numbers (and recursion) is a conservative extension of $\mathrm{HA}_\omega$, which is proven in Besson Recursive Models for Constructive Set Theories.
As far as MLTT with induction-recursion or induction-induction, I don't know what the situation is, and AFAIK, the problem of exact consistency strength is still open.
 - $\begingroup$ So in a sense, system F is a very weak theory, but it has this combinatorial problem which requires a very strong theory to prove? If that's the case, then shouldn't its proof theoretic ordinal be known, and less than $\epsilon_0$, contradicting the question that I linked? $\endgroup$ – fhyve Nov 21 '16 at 19:43
 - $\begingroup$ And should it read "if $p$ is normalizing, then $p\not\Vdash\emptyset$? $\endgroup$ – fhyve Nov 21 '16 at 19:46
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ Why do you mean by "in $\mathrm{HA}_\omega$ all functions must be computable"? Certainly not, consider the set-theoretic model. $\endgroup$ – Andrej Bauer Nov 21 '16 at 19:50
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ _USER_ certainly, all functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ which can be proven to exist within $\mathrm{HA}_\omega$ are computable (from the "outside"). Of course, from the "inside", it is consistent to assume that there are non-computable functions, unless further fun axioms are added. $\endgroup$ – cody Nov 21 '16 at 20:22
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ Then you should have said something like "definable functions in $\mathrm{HA}_\omega$ are computable". Saying "must be computable" is at least misleading. $\endgroup$ – Andrej Bauer Nov 22 '16 at 7:33

Writing a Resource Based Adaptive Server Agent
1 Document Purpose
This document outlines how to create your own load balancing server agent to use in conjunction with the resource based (adaptive) Virtual Service (VS) scheduling method, which is one of the VS Scheduling Method choices in the VS Standard Options. This document focuses primarily on the requirements for creating and configuring such agents on arbitrary server operating systems (for example, the protocol used by the agent to communicate load values to the LoadMaster), and less on the mechanics of generating a load value using specific Operating System (OS) utilities. Nevertheless, this document presents simple examples of implementing and deploying a server agent on both a Windows and Linux system.
In the remainder of this document, the resource based (adaptive) scheduling method is referred to simply as adaptive scheduling.
2 Related Firmware Version
Published with LMOS version 7.2.48.3 LTS. This document has not required substantial changes since 7.2.48.3 LTS. However, the content is in sync with the latest LoadMaster LTS firmware.
3 Custom Server Agents and Adaptive Scheduling
Adaptive scheduling requires the following on every Real Server (RS) in the VS:
 - There is an HTTP server running on the RS and the endpoint for this HTTPS server is accessible to the LoadMaster.
 - There is a server agent installed and running on the RS that does the following:
 - Periodically queries the RS operating system for whatever system load statistics are available and desired.
 - Uses the load values obtained from the operating system to arrive at an integer value.
 - Places the integer value in a file underneath the root directory of the HTTP server running on the RS. This is the file that the LoadMaster requests using an HTTP GET command. It must contain a single integer value and nothing else.
The server agent and an appropriately configured HTTP server must be running on all RSs in a VS before selecting adaptive scheduling on the VS.
On the LoadMaster side:
 - Once adaptive scheduling is selected on a VS, the LoadMaster periodically attempts to retrieve the file populated by the server agent from each RS, with the integer load value.
 - Until the LoadMaster successfully retrieves an integer load value from a Real Server, it is considered unavailable.
 - Once an integer load value is retrieved, the LoadMaster modifies the status of the Real Server by interpreting the integer retrieved according to the table below.
Agent Response Action Taken Description
No HTTP Response Dynamic Weight = 0 If the LoadMaster gets no response when it attempts to get the file containing the load value, then the Real Server is assumed to be unavailable and it is marked down. This is done by setting the server's dynamic weightto 0 so that no new connections are sent to it. Currently open connections are not affected. This typically happens when either the Real Server is unavailable, or the required HTTP server is not responding to the =query from the LoadMaster.
File does not exist Dynamic Weight = 100 If the HTTP server is running on the Real Server and responds to the LoadMaster's query, it may send a response that indicates the file requested does not exist. In this case, the server is assumed to be available, it is marked up, and the server dynamic weight is set to 100.
File is empty Dynamic Weight = 100 If the HTTP server is running on the Real Server and responds to the LoadMaster's query with an empty file (the file contains no data at all), the server is assumed to be available. It is then marked up and the server dynamic weight is set to 100.
File contains a non-integer value Dynamic Weight = 100 If the file returned by the HTTP server running on the Real Server contains a non-integer value, then the server is assumed to be available. It is then marked up and the server dynamic weight is set to 100.
< 0 Dynamic Weight = 100 If the file returned by the HTTP server running on the Real Server contains a negative integer value (for example, -1), then the server is assumed to be available, it is marked up, and the server dynamic weight is set to 100.
0 Switch to the round robin scheduling method If the file returned by the HTTP server running on the Real Server contains an integer value of 0 (zero), this forces the LoadMaster to temporarily fall back to using the round robin scheduling method until the server agent returns a value other than 0 on a subsequent query. This return value is intended to be used in a situation where the server agent code cannot for some reason arrive at a valid integer value to return to the LoadMaster. This might happen if, for example, the server is not responding to the queries from the agent for load values.
1-100 Dynamic Weight set appropriately If the file returned by the HTTP server running on the Real Server contains an integer value between 1 and 100, this is interpreted as a percentage of fully loaded (1=lowest load, 100 = fully loaded). The LoadMaster sets the dynamic weight appropriately: the higher the number returned by the server agent, the lower that the dynamic weight of the server is set to.
102 Dynamic Weight = 0 plus optional connection drop If the file returned by the HTTP server running on the Real Server contains an integer value of 102, this means essentially the same as returning 101. The only difference is that the LoadMaster will also drop all currently open connections if the Drop connections on RS failure option is set on the associated VS.
> 102 Dynamic Weight = 0 A return of 103 or greater is treated the same as a return of 101.
On any Real Server operating system, a straightforward manner in which to implement a server agent is to write a shell script or executable program that runs periodically using a standard system scheduler, like cron on Linux systems or the Task Scheduler on Windows systems. This script would use standard utilities to generate the load value and place it in a file under the HTTP server root.
Such a script could be as simple as this Linux bash script.:
#! /bin/bash
top -l1 | awk '/CPU Usage/ {printf "%d\n", $7} > /<path>/load
The above uses the top command and a short awk script to copy the current CPU load value in a file - the <path> above specifies the path to the root of an HTTP server on the Real Server. The file name 'load' is the default file name retrieved by the LoadMaster. [This and other adaptive load balancing options are located in the User Interface (UI) under Rules & Checking > Check Parameters > Adaptive Parameters.]
Alternatively, you could instead write a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) program or any other program that the HTTP server can be configured to run when the LoadMaster sends a GET for the required file to the HTTP server. This program would generate the integer load value when the LoadMaster requests the file from the server and the HTTP server would return it to the LoadMaster.
There are advantages and disadvantages to either approach. For example:
 - Using a static file populated using a cron job is a simple and easy-to-maintain option, but also means that the data in the file could be stale when it is accessed by the LoadMaster. The interval at which the load value is generated should be based on the known performance profile of the server.
 - Using a program that runs each time the LoadMaster checks performance means that you will get the most accurate data, but the server agent itself could contribute to system load if CPU, Disk I/O, and network performance were all being continually checked by the server agent.
The approach you choose most likely depends on the needs of your configuration and the tools you typically use.
In terms of internal processing, a server agent can be as complicated as you like, depending on your application. If your application is completely CPU-intensive, then a simple script like the two-line bash script above may be enough. But, if your application also generates significant disk I/O or network-traffic, you will probably want to consider the load on those resources in addition to CPU usage to get a more detailed view of server performance.
4 Sample Linux Agent Script
The following script is an example of gathering load information on CPU and memory, and then combining them into a single integer value that the LoadMaster can use for adaptive scheduling. It is written as a bash shell script and is intended to be run on a Linux server using a privileged crontab file. See the Linux manual pages for bash, crontab, and the commands used in the script to gather the required statistics.
This script is intended solely as an example, although it could be used in a demonstration or proof of concept of how to configure adaptive scheduling.

Maximising Confluence cache effectiveness
Maximising Confluence cache effectiveness
Fine-tuning your cache management is often a trade-off between performance and memory usage. These hints and tips thing I wish I'd known when I started working with Confluence will show you how to achieve optimum efficiency.
The beauty of caches
Even in a simplified version of Confluence architecture, there are many stages between a user requesting access to a page and the page actually appearing in front of them. Maximising your Confluence cache effectiveness is a matter of understanding the separate levels of caching:
 1. the user accesses the webpage via a browser
 2. this request goes through the internet, firewall and reverse proxy and hits Confluence
 3. Confluence communicates with the database and storage media
 4. the information is passed back through the whole chain again and is displayed
This process can take ages particularly if you're loading a large amount of content. Caches are wonderful little components which allow the storage of data you've previously accessed in small reserves along the way, so that the next time you request it, your request doesn't have to travel through each stage.
Where are your caches?
There are three main points at which the responses to data requests can be cached:
 1. Your browser - browser caches are particularly useful for static content like CSS, Java Script and images
 2. The reverse proxy - once again, this saves Confluence from handling the workload of static content
 3. In Confluence itself - storing information in memory saves Confluence the laborious task of searching the database and file system for each request
Maximising caching potential at each of these levels can reduce your application workload tremendously, resulting in a serious performance boost.
Tuning your caches
Confluence provides your cache usage statistics with the Cache Statistics page within the admin user interface. Make sure you select the advanced display, as it provides a lot more information. The goal here is to increase the size of the correct caches, which you can do based on the following priorities (in order of importance). Look for caches that:
 1. are 100% used
 2. have a high number of hits and misses
 3. are not 100% effective
 4. are not too large
Once youve identified your target caches, you should increase their size. However, be careful here try to avoid large caches as they will drain your memory exceptionally fast. The database queries cache is a prime example of one which will run out of memory well before it's tuned by this definition.
Finally, aim to keep the size of the cache larger than the number of content objects e.g. attachments, content, comments, groups, spaces and users.

The Red-footed Booby bird is the smallest of the booby birds at 71 centimetres in length and a 137 centimetre wingspan. It has red legs and the bill and throat pouch are coloured pink and blue.
The Red-footed Booby bird has two plumage forms. The white phase is basically white with black on the flight feathers. The brown form is brown with a white belly rump and tail. Both forms may occur together, as in the breeding colony on St. Giles Island, Tobago. Few seabirds display such a variety of colour phases. Legs and feet are red and their beaks are pale blue. Below you can view a short video of the Red Footed Booby Bird.
The Red-footed Booby bird breeds on islands and coasts in tropical oceans. It winters at sea and is therefore rarely seen away from the breeding colonies.
The Red-footed Booby bird nests in large colonies, laying one chalky blue egg in a stick nest in a tree, which is incubated by both adults for 44 - 46 days. It may be 3 months before the young first fly and 5 months before they make extensive flights.
Red-footed Booby pairs may remain together over several seasons. They perform elaborate greeting rituals, including harsh squawks and the males display of his blue throat.
Young Red-footed Booby birds are wholly brown or blackish grey with a black beak, facial skin and grey legs. Immature have patchy underwings without a definite pattern, white back, mottled grey-brown head and red or brownish legs. Length: 66 - 77 centimetres (26 - 30 inches); wingspan: 91 - 101 centimetres (36 - 40 inches). The Red-footed Booby bird has an average life span of 22 years.
The Red-footed Boobies of the Galapagos Midway island are a white colour morph. Adult birds have white body and tail plumage. Upperwings have black primary and greater secondary coverts. About 444 pairs nest on Eastern Island.
The Red-footed Booby birds feed by diving vertically into the water and rarely within sight of land. They can dive up to 30 metres to pursue their prey. They feed primarily on flying fish and squid. They either feed on their own or within a mixed species flock. They search for their food anytime during the day and after dark. Red-footed Boobies are specialized in catching flying fish. They dive while skimming at the surface of the ocean and they do it far from shore. For that reason sometimes they need the whole day or even more in their fishing raids and their chicks have therefore to fast in the nest until their parents return with food.
Colonial in nature, the Red-footed Booby differs from the other Boobies by making their nests in small trees and shrubs. Colonies can be found on Tower, Culpepper, Wenman, Gardener-near Floreana, Pinta and Isla Pitt. They are rarely seen in areas other than where they breed. Eggs can be found throughout the year with colonies hatching at the same times.
The voice of the Red-footed Boobies is like that in the other booby birds. However both the whistle and the honk come accompanied by an inflexion that sounds like a grunt. Besides this, red boobies come in two different morphotypes; the brown and dominant and the white recessive. These morphotypes make them look very special in the sense of beauty. Is important to remember that in spite of the great apparent difference they show, both colours are from the exact species of Boobie. They are not different species.


text: Water body movements in bays and seas should also be determined for the solution of many engineering problems. This study aims to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of the movements of the water body in Ayvalik Bay, one of the most important touristic coastal zones of Turkey with a great number of islands. Ayvalik Bay is located in the Ayvalik county of the province of Balikesir in the northern part of the Aegean Sea in Turkey. For this aim site measurements and numerical model studies have been carried out. In order to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of Ayvalik Bay, AQUASEA model was used. Model verification and various scenarios tests were carried out. The output of this project will be basis of pollution studies in Ayvalik Bay. The effects of landfill road (between Ayvalik and Dolap Island) on water circulation could be seen and necessary suggestions were presented. The results of this study would be an important input in the contamination prevention efforts for the sustainable use of the Ayvalik Bay. Knowledge about the interaction between the water body movements and the environmental conditions is crucial for future planning and solution of engineering problems.

HEALTH DATA SUMMIT RIGA 2020
The Health Data Summit Riga "Toward Data-Driven Health: Sharing is Caring" is an online summit organized by Ministry of Health of Latvia, National Health Service and AmCham Latvia. It is the largest gathering of its kind in Latvia covering topics related to data governance in healthcare.
Even though patients are the focal point of healthcare, they are not always provided with sufficient information, attention, and compassion. A digital transformation needs to take place to make effective use of the available data, that would reshape the relationship between patients, healthcare providers and the healthcare system to meet the demand for personalized and outcome driven services.
The summit embraces a discussion on the most pressing healthcare needs illuminated by the global pandemic and focus on advancing data-driven healthcare. Progression will drive research and innovation and result in better quality of care for patients, increased efficiency and sustainability of healthcare systems.
Recommendations for a health data strategy and data-driven decision making are established while raising awareness of the necessity to invest in digitalization of health data and the benefits to be achieved for all stakeholders. The summit works as a catalyst in the development of a new user-friendly and sustainable digital healthcare system in Latvia.

There are tons of little neat tips and tricks scattered throughout iOS just waiting to be discovered. One of these little nuggets is being able to add a direct dial extension number to a Contacts entry to save time when calling someone that can only be reached by dialing an additional extension number. Although this has been possible for quite some time in iOS, the whole process is a lot simpler now than it used to be.
It may not be extremely useful for those who call friends or family members, but for those business users out there who frequently call other companies or colleagues who sit behind a main switchboard, then it could save a lot of time and frustration being able to get to them directly. Follow the simple steps below to get an extension number added to a new or existing contact.
Step 1: Open the Contacts app on the iOS device and select the '+' button in the top right hand corner to add a new contact. Alternatively, if you want to add a dial extension to an existing contact, then select the contact from the list and select the 'Edit' button from the top right hand corner.
Step 2: Tap on the field that allows you to enter a mobile, work or home number for the contact. If you are editing a contact then make sure the cursor is at the end of the already-inputted number before pressing the '+*#' button in the bottom left hand corner. If this is a new contact then enter their number first before selecting the '+*#' button.
Step 3: Select the 'wait' option from the right hand side of the second row of keys that appears. This will append the phone number with a semicolon (;).
Step 4: Add the relevant extension number after the semicolon. For example, if the contact's number is 0192-_PHONE_ and their extension number is 123 then this becomes 0192-_PHONE_;123.
Step 5: Save the information and exit out of the Contacts app.
Step 6: Call the contact in question from the device address book and take note of the new 'Dial' button on the right hand side. This can be tapped to dial the extension at any time.
Rocket science it certainly isn't, but time-saving and beneficial to those who regularly call those behind a switchboard it is. Thanks again to Apple and iOS for adding in these little hidden gems that we come across from time-to-time.


The best ideas are simple but brilliant
The unique method of WordPIN guarantees optimal security for your codes. Explaining the unique method of WordPIN can sometimes be confusing, but after users have entered their first code they are amazed at the simplicity of using WordPIN and convinced of the safety of WordPIN. That's why we present a free test version of WordPIN to experience the magic."
WordPIN was developed by Ron van der Steeg and Jeffrey Bruijntjes. Ron is innovator and Jeffrey is the technical man behind WordPIN.
The idea for WordPIN was created when Ron was confronted with someone who had spontaneously forgotten his pin when paying in a store. The person in question had entered his pin somewhere on his cell phone, hidden somewhere in…. but where? He quickly tried to find it without success. The queue waiting was getting longer, and the stress increased.
Innovator Ron was triggered, and began to invent a solution. His demands were high!
- WordPIN had to be fast. A code must be found within 10 seconds.
- WordPIN had to be safe. Not just safe, but 100% safe.
- WordPIN had to be easy to use. Useful for young and old.
There are many apps in the stores, which can be used to save your secret information like codes. These apps are locked with a secret number combination, just like a vault. When you enter the correct combination, the vault opens and the contents are visible. Therefore, it is essential that these apps must know your secret combination to work properly! It is not unthinkable that someone hits your correct combination by accident, and then… Oops! Problem!
WordPIN had to be different. WordPIN had to be faster and easier, but definitely safer.
The First Version
The first version worked in a fast and safe way. The letters of the secret word had to be clicked on the screen to read the underlying digits of the code, but they were also visible to curious bystanders. That had to be changed, to be more efficient!
The current version solved this problem and is super safe! WordPIN is not to crack! WordPIN doesn't need your secret word to operate properly. You only have to LOOK at the letters of your secret word to read the code. That is an indomitable obstacle for curious bystanders, because it's impossible to know what the user is looking at. Not even WordPIN knows where you are looking at! If the user keeps his secret word really secret, then the codes in WordPIN are unavailable to others, even when the phone comes into strange hands.
We're still working on improvements, so stay with us!
The Current Version


- Curecanti National Recreation Area
 Curecanti
 National Recreation Area Colorado
The Fish of Curecanti
The fishery of the Gunnison area has been changed by the three dams of the Wayne N. Aspinall Unit which form the reservoirs of Curecanti. Where once the fish of the Gunnison River fed upon the aquatic insects of the area, new fish species, which make their home in the reservoirs, feed upon plankton, small microscopic plants and animals.
Federal and state fish hatcheries stock over three million fish in the reservoirs each year.

RAINBOW TROUT Oncorhynchus mykiss
The colorful rainbow trout, named for the pink stripe along its side, is the most often caught fish of Curecanti. Rainbow trout, introduced into the Gunnison River in the 1880's, are stocked quite heavily and can be caught in the river areas or in the reservoirs. River and shore fishing can be very productive, but in the late summer when waters are warm, the fish seek cooler areas. Then, trolling at slow speeds works best.

Rainbow Trout

Identifying marks are black spots on a light body and a red stripe along the sides of the fish.

LAKE TROUT (Mackinaw) Salvelinus namaycush
The deep subsurface canyons of Blue Mesa Reservoir provide excellent habitat for the big lake trout or mackinaw. The "mac" can reach tremendous sizes - one monster weighed forty-six pounds! To catch one of these "big ones", you must fish deep and in cold water
(45-50°F).

Lake Trout

This fish has a white spotting pattern on a dark background. Veriform markings over the back and head. Unlike other trout, they have a deeply indented tail fin.

Brown Trout
Brown Trout
BROWN TROUT (German) Salmo trutta
Recognized by its dark brown color and red spots, the brown trout is another large fish species which can be found in all three of the reservoirs. Some of the largest fish taken from Morrow Point and Crystal Reservoirs are brown trout.
The spotting pattern is composed of black spots and also red-orange spots surrounded by light blue.

BROOK TROUT Salvelinus fontinalis
Brook trout live in most of the streams which feed the reservoirs of the recreation area. Curecanti Creek, which feeds into Morrow Point Reservoir, can be one of the best spots for catching the "brookies".

Brook Trout
Brook Trout
The pectoral, pelvic and anal fins are often orange, edged with black and white. The body is dark with red spots surrounded by blue and white spots.

KOKANEE SALMON Oncorhynchus nerka
The reservoirs have also provided a home for the kokanee salmon. The kokanee travel in schools, feeding on the animal plankton, or zooplankton of the reservoirs. So if you get a strike while trolling, but are unable to bring the fish in, make another slower pass through the same area and you should be able to land the silver colored fish.
The salmon are stocked from the Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery north of Gunnison. When they are ready to spawn at the end of their third or fourth summer, they travel upriver to return to the hatchery. At this time, they no longer feed, and after they reproduce, they die.

Kokanee Salmon

In order to insure that a sufficient number of eggs are collected and fertilized, the snagging of kokanee salmon is only allowed during November and December. Between August 1 and October 31, all salmon caught east of the Lake City Bridge must be released.

Kokanee Salmon (spawning colors)
At the end of their third summer, females develop a red-gray-white pattern while males develop a hook jaw and turn brick red.

CUTTHROAT TROUT Oncorhynchus clarki
The only native trout found here, cutthroat's can be found in streams leading into the reservoirs. Similar in appearance to rainbow trout, the identifying feature of a cutthroat is a red "slash" mark under lower jaw.

CUTTBOW TROUT
Genetically a combination between a rainbow and cutthroat trout, cuttbows look like a mix between the two. While cuttbows typically aren't found in fish field guides because they are in interbreed, they can be found in Morrow Point and Crystal Reservoirs.

text: A parametric study of the effects of binary interaction parameter and real-gas equations of state on the high pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium of nitrogen-n-dodecane system was carried out. Different values of the binary interaction parameter reported in literature, including one which depends on temperature, were employed in different equations of state to predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium as a function of ambient pressure and temperature. The findings were compared against the available experimental values reported in literature. Constant values of binary interaction parameter, estimated based on temperature dependent values, are demonstrated to predict the experimentally observed vapor-liquid equilibrium values accurately. The Peng-Robinson equation of state and an average binary interaction parameter were demonstrated to predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium over a wide range of temperature and pressures for nitrogen-n-dodecane binary system.


Sheet Metal Bend Deduction
Bend Deduction Explained [With Formula and Calculator]
In my previous post, I discussed the Bend Allowance (BA). In today's post, I am going to discuss Bend Deduction. Just like BA and K-factor, Sheet Metal Bend Deduction is also a very important part of sheet metal design terminology. First of all, let me explain why and where you need to use this Bend Deduction.
Suppose you have designed a sheet metal component for fabrication. And, you have all the dimensions of the final component in your design. But this is not enough for the fabricator to fabricate your component. He will have to create a flat pattern first. After that, he will make all of the forming operations, whether it is punching, bending or any other.
If you just provide the design of the final component, it will not be possible for the fabricator to create or produce the flat pattern for your component. Then how will he fabricate the final component?
So my point here is to establish the fact that it is necessary to design the flat pattern also, along with the design of your final or finished component.
And, the interesting and surprising thing is that the total length of the bent sheet is always greater than the length of the unfolded piece of the sheet. In other words, you can say that the total length of the flanges of the bent sheet is always greater than the length of the flat sheet or flat pattern.
The reason behind this is that the material along the bend undergoes deformation (stretched and compressed) when you bend it. It means that you can not just use the length of your final component in your design of the flat pattern for that component.
Then how to calculate that exact length of the flat pattern which will give you the required flange length in the final component? Here comes the role of Bend Deduction. You can calculate the length of the flat sheet by deducting or subtracting Bend Deduction from the total length of flanges of the finished component.
Note:- The length of the flat pattern can be calculated by BA also as I mention my previous post.
What is Bend Deduction
Bend Deduction is actually the measurement of the length that you will have to deduct from the total length of the flanges of the final sheet metal component, in order to get the correct length of the flat pattern that you need to create for that component.
 Fig.1 Sheet Metal Bend
As you can see in the fig.1 above, 'A' and 'B' are the flange lengths of the final component. 'a' and 'b' indicate the leg lengths of the component. 'T' indicates the thickness of the sheet. And, 'R' is the inside radius of the bend. Inside Radius is generally equal to the radius of the bending tool.
Bend Deduction
 Fig.2 Bend Deduction
In Fig.2, you can see the Bend Deduction (BD) indicated with the orange color. 'L' is the length of the flat pattern of the finished component. This figure clearly indicates that the length of the flat pattern (L) is equal to the difference between the sum of the flange lengths (A & B) and the value of the Bend Deduction (BD).
Now the question is how to calculate this value of Bend Deduction. Now I am coming to this point. You can calculate this value for different values of the available parameters (Sheet Thickness, Bend Angle, Inside Bend radius, etc.) Keep reading…
Bend Deduction Calculator
Bend deduction can be easily calculated if you have a formula for it. Below I have shared that formula. You just have to collect some required data like K-factor, sheet metal thickness, bend angle and inside radius of the bend. If you have the values of these variables, you can simply put them in the formula and calculate the final value by using this Bend Deduction Calculator.
Bend Deduction Formula
Bend Deduction (BD) = (2xOSSB) – BA
Here, OSSB = Outside Set Back
BA = Bend Allowance
And, as we know that the formula for calculating BA (as I explained in this post) is
bend allowance formula

And, the formula for Outside Set Back is
Outside Set Back Formula

Hence,
Bend Deduction Formula

So this is the final formula to calculate the Bend Deduction.
Here, R and IR (Both are same) = Inside Bend Radius
T = Sheet Thickness
B = Bend Angle
K = K-Factor (It is different for different material and depends on the physical properties of the material)
MT = Material Thickness or Sheet Thickness
[Note:- Bend Angle is not the included angle. It is actually excluded angle.]
And, If you don't want to calculate this value by yourself, you can also use ready-made Bend Deduction Chart also. This chart will provide you BD value for different values of all of the parameters.
Conclusion
What will you prefer for calculation of the length of the Flat Pattern, BA or BD? What is your opinion? Let me know in the comments below.
So, this is all about today's topic. I hope you got all the points I mentioned above. If you are still struggling to understand anything, please let me know that as well, in the comments below. I will try to respond quickly.

README
twitter-to-sqlite
PyPI Changelog Tests License
Save data from Twitter to a SQLite database.
This tool currently uses Twitter API v1. You may be unable to use it if you do not have an API key for that version of the API.
How to install
$ pip install twitter-to-sqlite
Authentication
First, you will need to create a Twitter application at _URL_ You may need to apply for a Twitter developer account - if so, you may find this example of an email application useful that has been approved in the past.
Once you have created your application, navigate to the "Keys and tokens" page and make note of the following:
 - Your API key
 - Your API secret key
 - Your access token
 - Your access token secret
You will need to save all four of these values to a JSON file in order to use this tool.
You can create that JSON file by running the following command and pasting in the values at the prompts:
$ twitter-to-sqlite auth
Create an app here: _URL_
Then navigate to 'Keys and tokens' and paste in the following:
API key: xxx
API secret key: xxx
Access token: xxx
Access token secret: xxx
This will create a file called auth.json in your current directory containing the required values. To save the file at a different path or filename, use the --auth=myauth.json option.
Retrieving tweets by specific accounts
The user-timeline command retrieves all of the tweets posted by the specified user accounts. It defaults to the account belonging to the authenticated user:
$ twitter-to-sqlite user-timeline twitter.db
Importing tweets [#####-------------------------------] 2799/17780 00:01:39
All of these commands assume that there is an auth.json file in the current directory. You can provide the path to your auth.json file using -a:
$ twitter-to-sqlite user-timeline twitter.db -a /path/to/auth.json
To load tweets for other users, pass their screen names as arguments:
$ twitter-to-sqlite user-timeline twitter.db cleopaws nichemuseums
Twitter's API only returns up to around 3,200 tweets for most user accounts, but you may find that it returns all available tweets for your own user account.
You can pass numeric Twitter user IDs instead of screen names using the --ids parameter.
You can use --since to retrieve every tweet since the last time you imported for that user, or --since_id=xxx to retrieve every tweet since a specific tweet ID.
This command also accepts --sql and --attach options, documented below.
Retrieve user profiles in bulk
If you have a list of Twitter screen names (or user IDs) you can bulk fetch their fully inflated Twitter profiles using the users-lookup command:
$ twitter-to-sqlite users-lookup users.db simonw cleopaws
You can pass user IDs instead using the --ids option:
$ twitter-to-sqlite users-lookup users.db 12497 _PHONE_ --ids
This command also accepts --sql and --attach options, documented below.
Retrieve tweets in bulk
If you have a list of tweet IDS you can bulk fetch them using the statuses-lookup command:
$ twitter-to-sqlite statuses-lookup tweets.db 1122154819815239680 1122154178493575169
The --sql and --attach options are supported.
Here's a recipe to retrieve any tweets that existing tweets are in-reply-to which have not yet been stored in your database:
$ twitter-to-sqlite statuses-lookup tweets.db \
 --sql='
 select in_reply_to_status_id
 from tweets
 where in_reply_to_status_id is not null' \
 --skip-existing
The --skip-existing option means that tweets that have already been stored in the database will not be fetched again.
Retrieving Twitter followers
The followers command retrieves details of every follower of the specified accounts. You can use it to retrieve your own followers, or you can pass one or more screen names to pull the followers for other accounts.
The following command pulls your followers and saves them in a SQLite database file called twitter.db:
$ twitter-to-sqlite followers twitter.db
This command is extremely slow, because Twitter impose a rate limit of no more than one request per minute to this endpoint! If you are running it against an account with thousands of followers you should expect this to take several hours.
To retrieve followers for another account, use:
$ twitter-to-sqlite followers twitter.db cleopaws
This command also accepts the --ids, --sql and --attach options.
See Analyzing my Twitter followers with Datasette for the original inspiration for this command.
Retrieving friends
The friends command works like the followers command, but retrieves the specified (or currently authenticated) user's friends - defined as accounts that the user is following.
$ twitter-to-sqlite friends twitter.db
It takes the same options as the followers command.
Retrieving favorited tweets
The favorites command retrieves tweets that have been favorited by a specified user. Called without any extra arguments it retrieves tweets favorited by the currently authenticated user:
$ twitter-to-sqlite favorites faves.db
You can also use the --screen_name or --user_id arguments to retrieve favorite tweets for another user:
$ twitter-to-sqlite favorites faves-obama.db --screen_name=BarackObama
Use the --stop_after=xxx argument to retrieve only the most recent number of favorites, e.g. to get the authenticated user's 50 most recent favorites:
$ twitter-to-sqlite favorites faves.db --stop_after=50
Retrieving Twitter lists
The lists command retrieves all of the lists belonging to one or more users.
$ twitter-to-sqlite lists lists.db simonw dogsheep
This command also accepts the --sql and --attach and --ids options.
To additionally fetch the list of members for each list, use --members.
Retrieving Twitter list memberships
The list-members command can be used to retrieve details of one or more Twitter lists, including all of their members.
$ twitter-to-sqlite list-members members.db simonw/the-good-place
You can pass multiple screen_name/list_slug identifiers.
If you know the numeric IDs of the lists instead, you can use --ids:
$ twitter-to-sqlite list-members members.db 927913322841653248 --ids
Retrieving just follower and friend IDs
It's also possible to retrieve just the numeric Twitter IDs of the accounts that specific users are following ("friends" in Twitter's API terminology) or followed-by:
$ twitter-to-sqlite followers-ids members.db simonw cleopaws
This will populate the following table with followed_id/follower_id pairs for the two specified accounts, listing every account ID that is following either of those two accounts.
$ twitter-to-sqlite friends-ids members.db simonw cleopaws
This will do the same thing but pull the IDs that those accounts are following.
Both of these commands also support --sql and --attach as an alternative to passing screen names as direct command-line arguments. You can use --ids to process the inputs as user IDs rather than screen names.
The underlying Twitter APIs have a rate limit of 15 requests every 15 minutes - though they do return up to 5,000 IDs in each call. By default both of these subcommands will wait for 61 seconds between API calls in order to stay within the rate limit - you can adjust this behaviour down to just one second delay if you know you will not be making many calls using --sleep=1.
Retrieving tweets from your home timeline
The home-timeline command retrieves up to 800 tweets from the home timeline of the authenticated user - generally this means tweets from people you follow.
$ twitter-to-sqlite home-timeline twitter.db
Importing timeline [#################--------] 591/800 00:01:14
The tweets are stored in the tweets table, and a record is added to the timeline_tweets table noting that this tweet came in due to being spotted in the timeline of your user.
You can use --since to retrieve just tweets that have been posted since the last time this command was run, or --since_id=xxx to explicitly pass in

Role clarity on a project or a major bid is a critical element to success. Along with understanding the big picture and ensuring communication is flowing through the team, it ranks up there as a key priority you should look to establish as you form and develop a high performing team.
In terms of how you achieve role clarity, you will usually bring the key people in to a room for each area of the project or bid and work through the development of a role clarity matrix. The role clarity matrix is a visual representation of all the activities or tasks that are required to be delivered with the appropriate people assigned to support the delivery of these activities. From here, you then look to challenge the draft role clarity matrix around gaps, duplication and whether or not you have each person playing to their strengths. This step is often overlooked despite its importance in ensuring that people and sections of a project or bid are not working in silos or working in a vacuum unclear on how others can assist them in delivering on their role linked to the bigger picture outcomes we are looking to achieve.
The benefits of a role clarity matrix are significant, particularly in the early stages of a project or major bid. These include:
- The building of a self-managed and empowered team through documenting who is doing and responsible for what;
- Better allocation of resources playing to people's strengths;
- Faster team around decision making and authority due to minimised grey areas of role clarity across the team;
- Better accountability culture within the team through no grey areas in the delivery of responsibilities;
- Greater personal confidence for each individual knowing not only their roles and responsibilities but other team members;
- Greater communication across the team as people are encouraged to go to those responsible for activities rather than adopting an up and down check in approach through management; and
- A one team approach to delivery by working together collaboratively.
The benefits as you can see are significant. However, if you wish to take role clarity to the next level, you need to break down role activities between silos and teams where there are many people involved in delivering a responsibility, activity or where teamwork is required around collaboration and communicating what needs to occur. The last thing you want to do is set up a role clarity matrix where people are in conflict with each other to undertake a task. It is also challenging to address situations where no responsibility is taken for tasks or activities that require consultation or involvement from others to be successfully delivered. For this to be achieved, you need utilise tools like the RACI model which sets very clear expectations of the people involved in your bid or project from the start.
The RACI model allows you to break the role clarity matrix down to the sub-elements of each role around who is:
- Responsible – The person doing the work to deliver an outcome. They take responsibility for delivering the activity and is usually one individual;
- Accountable – The person who needs to ensure that the task is delivered even if they have delegated it. Again, one individual and usually at a senior level is often the manager who the person responsible reports to in the project or bid;
- Consulted – This is typically individuals who need to be involved in delivering the activity and usually have some technical, client or product knowledge that is important for the person responsible to work with to ensure the outcome reflects these inputs. They need to be worked with collaboratively and in a manner that reflects their important input; and
- Informed – This is usually individuals who need to be kept informed around the progress and delivery of an activity and has some buy-in or involvement that is important to reflect in the RACI.
Your RACI needs to be functional and effective. Some key tips you can use when developing the RACI include:
- Use the role clarity matrix tasks and activities as the base for the RACI to fast track its development;
- Explain the 'why' behind the need of a RACI model in addition to the role clarity matrix and the benefits it will provide to the bid or project team and the delivery of outcomes;
- Identify all the key individuals and their roles and list them horizontally up the top of the RACI ensuring you get thorough coverage across your bid or team;
- When working through the four elements of the RACI, you need to ensure only one person is accountable and only one person is responsible. This will ensure greater ownership and delivery of the outcome;
- Ensure you then send out the document to all people nominated in the RACI for feedback and consultation. This includes those broader than the responsible and accountable people as the person that need to be informed and consulted should have a large say in ensuring that you are consulting the right people for the right activities to be delivered.
Role clarity is an underrated area to focus on with your team upfront. Get this right, break it down through a RACI and watch your team achieve every manager's goal; being empowered and self-managed rather than deferring to every piece of direction and guidance they receive from management.

Manage DNS Zones With PowerShell
Adam Bertram
Adam Bertram
Read more posts by this author.
If you find yourself making changes on your Microsoft DNS servers using the DNS MMC snapin you're probably wasting a lot of time.
Why? Because it's possible to create, modify or remove any DNS object that you can from the MMC with PowerShell! By using PowerShell to manage DNS allows you not only control things from the command line but to take those commands and put them into a script to automate all kinds of time-consuming tasks.
To limit this article's scope, we're going to just focus on managing DNS zones with PowerShell although it's completely possible to administer other DNS objects like records and the server itself as well.
Before we get too far, there are a few prerequisites you need to be aware of. First, I'm assuming you have permissions to read, modify and remove DNS zones from your Windows DNS servers. Second, I'll be demonstrating a few concepts from DNS servers that are in an Active Directory domain with AD-integrated zones. PowerShell is still capable of managing zones and records outside of Active Directory but may not quite be the same result as I'll be showing you here. Finally, you'll need to ensure you have a version of the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) installed on your client specific to your operating system.
Now that we have that out of the way let's start out by first ensuring the DNSServer module is available to us. To do that, I'll use the Get-Module cmdlet.
PS> Get-Module DnsServer -ListAvailable

 Directory: C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

 ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
 ---------- ------- ---- ----------------
 Manifest 2.0.0.0 DnsServer {Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone, Add-DnsServerDirectoryPartition, Add-DnsServerForwarder, Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone...}

Great! It looks like our module is downloaded and we have some available commands. Let's now see what commands we have to work with DNS zones.

PS> Get-Command -Module DnsServer -Noun *Zone*

 CommandType Name Version Source
 ----------- ---- ------- ------
 Function Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone 2.0.0.0 DnsServer
 Function Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone 2.0.0.0 DnsServer
 -- SNIP --
First up, let's create a zone with PowerShell. To do this, we'll use the Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone function. The simplest way this can be done is by using two parameters. Those parameters are Name and ReplicationScope. However, in our example, I'll also be using the ComputerName parameter since I'm invoking this command on a remote computer.
PS> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name testzone.mylab.local -ComputerName DC -ReplicationScope Forest
Above you can see that my domain is mylab.local and my zone name is testzone. My DNS server is DC so I'm specifying that for the ComputerName parameter and finally since this server is on my domain I have to also set the ReplicationScope so I've chosen to replicate this zone amongst all other DNS servers in my Active Directory forest.
Next, to verify this zone was created, I can then use the Get-DnsServerZone command. I could use the Name parameter but to show you all of the zones I have I'll just tell Get-DnsServerZone to find all of them.
PS> Get-DnsServerZone -ComputerName DC

 ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
 -------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
 _msdcs.mylab.local Primary False True False False
 0.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 127.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 255.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 mylab.local Primary False True False False
 testzone.mylab.local Primary False True False False
 TrustAnchors Primary False True False F
And just to be sure we go through the entire lifecycle of a DNS zone, I'll then remove it.
PS> Remove-DnsServerZone -Name testzone.mylab.local -ComputerName DC -Confirm
This will also remove all the records in the zone, and the server will no longer host the zone, do you want to continue?
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
 PS> Get-DnsServerZone -ComputerName DC

 ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
 -------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
 _msdcs.mylab.local Primary False True False False
 0.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 127.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 255.in-addr.arpa Primary True False True False
 mylab.local Primary False True False False
 TrustAnchors Primary False True False
Now that you've learned about DNS zone, why not pick up at the next logical spot and begin learning about DNS records in this detailed, step-by-step, tutorial on managing DNS records.
Summary
There is so much more possible with managing DNS zones in PowerShell. I encourage you to look through all of the commands possible in Get-Command -Module DnsServer -Noun Zone. This command gives you a list of all of the commands inside of the DnsServer module that have 'Zone' in the name. You'll find that the command names are self-explanatory and if you need to investigate further always consult the help of each command using Get-Help.

Education & Experience
Bachelor Degree in EE/CS/CE or, equivalent. Master Degree preferred.


("mykey");
If no document was found, null is returned. It is important to check for null, to prevent NullPointerExceptions
later down the stack.
With Couchbase Server 2.0, the very powerful ability to query your documents through secondary indexes (Views) has
been added to your toolbelt. This guide gets you started on how to use them through the Java SDK, if you want to learn
more please refer to the chapter in the Couchbase Server 2.0 documentation.
Once you created your View in the UI, you can query it from the SDK in three steps. First, you grab the View definition
from the cluster, second you create a Query object and third, you query the cluster with both the View and the Query
objects. In its simplest form, it looks like this:
// 1: Get the View definition from the cluster
View view = client.getView("beer", "brewery_beers");
// 2: Create the query object
Query query = new Query();
// 3: Query the cluster with the view and query information
ViewResponse result = client.query(view, query);
The getView() method needs both the name of the Design Document and the View to load up the proper defini-
tion from the cluster. This is needed to determine if there is a view with the given information and also if it contains a re-
duce function (or is even a spatial view).
Views can be queried with a large amount of options. All supported options are available as setter methods on the Query
object. Here are some of them:
 setIncludeDocs(boolean): Used to define if the complete documents should be included in the result.
 setReduce(boolean): Used to enable/disable the reduce function (if there is one defined on the server).
 setLimit(int): Limit the number of results that should be returned.
 setDescending(boolean): Revert the sorting order of the result set.
 setStale(Stale): Can be used to define the tradeoff between performance and freshness of the data.
 setDebug(boolean): Prints out debugging information in the logs.
Now that we have our View information and the Query object in place, we can issue the query command, which actu-
ally triggers the scatter-gather data loading process on the Cluster. The resulting information is encapsulated inside the
Getting Started
6
ViewResponse object. We can use it to iterate over the results and print out some details (here is a more complete ex-
ample which also includes the full documents and only fetches the first five results):
View view = client.getView("beer", "brewery_beers");
Query query = new Query();
query.setIncludeDocs(true).setLimit(5); // include all docs and limit to 5
ViewResponse result = client.query(view, query);
// Iterate over the result and print the key of each document:
for(ViewRow row : result) {
System.out.println(row.getId());
// The full document (as String) is available through row.getDocument();
}
In the logs, you can see the corresponding document keys automatically sorted (ascending):
21st_amendment_brewery_cafe
21st_amendment_brewery_cafe-21a_ipa
21st_amendment_brewery_cafe-563_stout
21st_amendment_brewery_cafe-amendment_pale_ale
21st_amendment_brewery_cafe-bitter_american
1.3.3. Deleting Documents
If you want to get rid of a document, you can use the delete operation:
OperationFuture<Boolean> delete = client.delete("key");
Again, delete is an asynchronous operation and therefore returns a OperationFuture on which you can block
through the get() method. If you try to delete a document that is not there, the result of the OperationFuture will
be false.
1.3.4. JSON Encoding/Decoding
One benefit of working with JSON documents is that you can map them (nearly) directly from/to objects in your applica-
tion. Unlike with Java object serialization, you need to do some more work to convert your object to its appropriate JSON
representation. Fortunately, libraries like GSON (as mentioned before) are here to help.
In the following example, we define a simple Beer class that implicitly carries the JSON fields as attributes. We can then
use GSON to convert from the Object to JSON and back. The example is a little bit contrived, but it shows the roundtrip
from Object to JSON back to Object pretty well that you can use throughout your application.
public class App {
// Model the Beer
static class Beer {
String name;
String type;
String category;
float abv;
// Convenience method to generate a key
public String getKey() {
return type + "-" + name;
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
// Connect
CouchbaseClient client = new CouchbaseClient(
Arrays.asList(URI.create("http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools")),
"beer-sample",
""
);
// Instantiate GSON
Gson gson = new Gson();
Getting Started
7
// Create a beer
Beer myAle = new Beer();
myAle.name = "cool-ale";
myAle.type ="beer";
myAle.category = "Stouts and Ales";
myAle.abv = 5.2f;
// Convert the beer to JSON
String json = gson.toJson(myAle);
// Store in Couchbase
client.set(myAle.getKey(), 0, json);
// Read it back
String readJson = (String) client.get(myAle.getKey());
// Create a object out of it
Beer sameBeer = gson.fromJson(readJson, Beer.class);
// Now use it like:
System.out.println(sameBeer.category);
// Disconnect
client.shutdown(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
System.exit(0);
}
}
You can also use the same pattern when you query a View, and include the complete docs through
setIncludeDocs(true). Based on the previous Beer class, imagine a View that returns all beers stored in the buck-
et. We could query the View and immediately create Objects out of them:
View view = client.getView("beer", "only_beers");
Query query = new Query();
query.setIncludeDocs(true);
ViewResponse result = client.query(view, query);
for(ViewRow row : result) {
Beer beer = gson.fromJson(row.getDocument(), Beer.class);
System.out.println(beer.name);
}
The previous chapters introduced Couchbase Server and how to use it through the Java SDK. With this knowledge at
hand, you are already able to build powerful applications on top of Couchbase Server 2.0 and Java. The next chapter digs
a bit deeper and introduces advanced concepts that can help you along the way.
1.4. Advanced Topics
This chapter introduces some techniques topics that you can use to further extend your Couchbase vocabulary.
1.4.1. CAS and Locking
If you need to coordinate shared access on documents, Couchbase helps you with two approaches. Depending on the ap-
plication you may need to use both of them, but in general it is better (if feasible) to lean towards CAS because it provides
the better performance characteristics.
 Optimistic Locking with cas(): Each document has a unique identifier associated with it (the CAS value), which
changes when the document itself is mutated. You can fetch the CAS value for a given key and then use the cas()
operation to update it. The update will only succeed, when the CAS value is still the same. This is why it's called op-
timistic locking: someone else can still read and try to update the document, but it will fail once the CAS value has
changed. Here is a example on how to do it with the Java SDK:
// Reads the document with the CAS value.
String key = "eagle_brewing-golden";
CASValue<Object> beerWithCAS = client.gets(key);
Getting Started
8
// Updates the document and tries to store it back.
Beer beer = gson.fromJson((String)beerWithCAS.getValue(), Beer.class);
beer.name = "Some other Name";
CASResponse cas = client.cas(key, beerWithCAS.getCas(), gson.toJson(beer));
The CASResponse is a ENUM which identifies the status of the cas() operation. If it succeeds,
CASResponse.OK is returned. If CASResponse.EXISTS is returned, the CAS has changed in the meantime. A
