VACUUM Simulator in Schema Statistics
VACUUM Simulator lets you tweak autovacuum settings to learn the relationship between Postgres configuration settings and autovacuum patterns. It also helps you find better autovacuum settings for the table.
Overview
Autovacuum can be triggered by the following 3 causes:
 1. Triggered by dead rows
 2. Triggered by freeze age
 3. Triggered by inserts (Postgres 13 or above)
Each cause has related configuration settings. By tweaking these settings, you can see changes in the simulation data. There is a panel for each cause, and each panel has the actual value and graph section to show how it was in the selected time range, and a simulation value and graph section to show how it would be based on the collected statistics and the adjusted configuration settings. You can also create a permalink of your current simulation and modified settings to share with your team members.
Limitations
 - The current autovacuum count can be much bigger than the simulation count with frequently autovacuumed tables, since the simulation can only perform autovacuum every 10 minutes. The simulation can still be useful to understand why so many vacuums are performed, and to explore ways to reduce autovacuum frequency.
Triggered by dead rows
To prevent table bloat, Postgres runs autovacuums periodically to clean up dead rows. You can learn more about bloat in the What is bloat? page.
Triggered by dead rows
When the number of dead rows exceeds the following threshold, dead rows autovacuums will be triggered:
threshold = autovacuum_vacuum_threshold + autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor * pg_class.reltuples
where pg_class.reltuples is the number of live rows in the table.
With VACUUM Simulator, you can tweak autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor in this section. Lowering these configuration settings usually triggers autovacuums more, as the threshold becomes lower and the dead row count will reach the threshold more often. You can first try lowering autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor to see how it will affect the behavior, before touching autovacuum_vacuum_threshold.
On the other hand, if you are observing too many autovacuums on a table, your workload might be creating many dead rows compared to total live rows. In that case, making autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor 0 and adjusting autovacuum_vacuum_threshold to a value that lowers the total autovacuum count.
This section also contains the graph of avoidable growth, calculated based on the following factors:
 - How many reusable rows are available (already VACUUMed rows)
 - How many dead rows are there (to be VACUUMed rows)
Let's say there are 10 reusable rows and 20 dead rows. With this situation, if 30 rows are INSERTed:
 1. Use 10 reusable rows
 2. Use 20 totally new rows
However, if 20 dead rows were already VACUUMed at this point, the reusable rows will be 30 rows and all INSERTs will use these reusable rows without acquiring space for new rows. We'll consider these 20 dead rows as avoidable growth. When the table is showing this pattern a lot, it indicates that autovacuums are not running frequently enough. Try tweaking configuration settings to trigger simulation autovacuums more often and see if avoidable growth decreases.
There is a specific insight for this in the Alerts & Check-Up system: Bloat - Insufficient VACUUM Frequency.
Limitations
 - The simulation data tends to trigger autovacuum earlier than the actual triggered timing, especially with tables with lots of UPDATEs. Occasionally, UPDATEs operations don't create dead rows, or even decrease dead rows when "mini autovacuum" happened with these operations. The current simulation can't represent this situation well, therefore dead rows simply keep increasing with UPDATEs and trigger autovacuum earlier.
 - The avoidable growth graph may over report avoidable growth size. You can check the Estimated Table Bloat panel of Schema Statistics VACUUM/ANALYZE Activity page for the current estimated table bloat to assess the actual impact.
Triggered by freeze age
To prevent transaction ID wraparound, Postgres runs autovacuums periodically to freeze older rows (sometimes referred to as "freezing old transaction IDs"). You can learn more about freezing in the What is freezing? page.
Triggered by freeze age
When the age of the oldest unfrozen transaction ID exceeds autovacuum_freeze_max_age (or the oldest unfrozen multixact ID exceeds autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age), freeze age autovacuums will be triggered. These autovacuums are called anti-wraparound autovacuums.
With VACUUM Simulator, you can tweak autovacuum_freeze_max_age and autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age in this section. autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age can be only tweaked if multixact IDs are being used in your database. Lowering these configuration settings triggers autovacuums more, and increasing these configuration settings will decrease autovacuums triggered by freeze age.
Limitations
 - The simulation is using data of average transactions (or multixacts) per second (tps). If the tps varies a lot depending on the time of the day or day of the week, the simulation may look a lot different than the actual data.
 - Autovacuums triggered by other causes usually try to freeze old rows. The simulation also freezes them, however, there are cases that freezing won't happen when there are nothing can be frozen. This can cause the transaction age to be reset even when it shouldn't be in the simulation, potentially cause the simulation to trigger less autovacuums by freeze age.
Triggered by inserts
Since an append-only table won't generate any dead rows, autovacuum won't be triggered by dead rows. It can still be triggered by freeze age, but depending on the database workload, it can be a long time until it's triggered. This can turn normal incremental maintenance into a resource-intensive, long-running task that can impact database performance. To counteract this, since Postgres 13, autovacuum can be triggered by INSERTs. Autovacuum based on inserts is triggered to freeze old transaction IDs like freeze age autovacuum, but more importantly, it is triggered to update a visibility map. Each table has a visibility map to keep track of which pages contain only tuples that are known to be visible to all active transactions. For a case like an append-only table, all pages of the table should be all-visible, and are likely to stay all-visible moving forward (they will be flagged as not all-visible if there is any write operation on that page). However, Postgres doesn't know about this visibility metadata until VACUUM scans the table and sets a flag. Updating the visibility map helps index-only scans, as they will be able to avoid reading table data to check visibility, improving performance. During VACUUM of an append-only table, it is often able to mark pages as all-frozen, in addition to all-visible, and it will stay that way (since these rows will never be modified). This will improve performance for any subsequent VACUUMs as pages that are both all-visible and all-frozen don't need to be VACUUMed and will be skipped. Updating the visibility map also helps index-only scans, as they will be able to avoid reading the table data to check visibility, improving performance.
Triggered by inserts
When the number of inserted rows (since the last VACUUM) exceeds the following threshold, inserts autovacuums will be triggered:
threshold = autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold + autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor * pg_class.reltuples
where pg_class.reltuples is the number of live rows in the table.
With VACUUM Simulator, you can tweak autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor in this section. Lowering these configuration settings triggers autovacuums more with append-only or append-mostly tables, though this rarely triggers autovacuums for other types of tables.
If you are observing too many inserts autovacuums with the table, you can make autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor 0 and adjust autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold to find a reasonable threshold for inserts autovacuums.
Limitations
 - This simulation is only available with servers running Postgres 13 or above.

Cask Strength: The Ins and Outs
What is cask strength?
Is it how strong the cask is? Is it the stress it can withstand in a rick (barrel) house stack? Does the kind of wood the cask is made of determine its strength? Does high charring weaken a cask and reduce its long term usefulness? Is the strength of a cask measured in units of elephants? I jest, of course. Actually cask strength has nothing to do with any of these!
Cask strength (also known as barrel proof in the world of US whisky) is a term used to describe a spirits alcoholic strength. It is measured in alcohol by volume (ABV) or proof. Proof is always double the ABV. So a whisky labeled at say one hundred proof will have an ABV of fifty percent alcohol. The remaining fifty percent being predominantly water. The term proof originated in the British Navy where sailors were issued rum rations, a practice that ended only in the 1970s. The "proof" they treasured was that their rum had not been watered down. The test: would sample stop gun powder from igniting? Only a full proof spirit would ignite. Too much water and the rum would not ignite. There would be no bang, no happy sailors.
A whisky that has been bottled at the proof that the spirit ended up at after its aging period is cask strength. It goes directly from the cask to the bottle. No further water has been added to dilute and reduce the proof. It is generally considered the premium offering and purest expression of a distilleries flagship malt.
A distillate maybe diluted reducing ABV directly after distillation. It is common to add water and lower the ABV before cask aging begins. Taking the whisky down from anywhere around 160 proof to a more common 140 – 100 proof. There are the obvious business benefits to adding the water as the distilleries have more whisky to age, raising the amount the distilleries have to bottle. But more importantly it is and should be a question of style and flavor profile. Interestingly enough Buffalo Trace have just released a series called the Experimental Collection which takes the exact same whiskies and starts the barrel aging process at four different proofs, ninety through one hundred and twenty five.
If the lowering of proof has happened before the new make spirit is put into barrel, the resulting fully matured whisky can still be bottled and sold as cask strength, because that is what it will be.
I love drinking cask strength whisky. Its amazing how many aromatics are released with just a few drops of water or by chilling and diluting with some ice. I get myself set up at home with a dropper and a glass of water (if you don't have a dropper a straw and a thumb will do!) and settle down to experiment. When pouring a cask strength whisky look for the formation of small beads around the edge of the glass. It's an obvious sign of high alcohol content! I always nose and taste the whisky as it is straight from the bottle. Then I add a drop or two of water and see what happens. Has the nose changed? Is there more obvious sweet or fruit elements to the taste? Below are a few of of my favorite cask strength bottlings if you can make the time to experiment with these it will be fun and delicious. Cheers.
Longrow Red Cabernet Sauvignon 52.1% ABV
Aged initially for seven years in bourbon casks and then transferred into Cabernet Sauvignon hogsheads, this is a fantastic limited-run addition to the Longrow family from the Masters at Springbank. I am generally automatically suspicious of wine finishes on my single malts as I have been let down by them on occasions. It was the Rocks from Bruichladdich that restored my belief, and would Springbank ever disappoint? I think not! The Nose: complex and beautiful. Buttery smoked haddock, coal and soap come to mind. Adding a drop of water brings on a leathery citrus-rind element. The Palate: incredibly full, with rich peaty notes that combine with red fruit and licorice in a truly harmonious way.
Glen Spey 21 year 50.4% ABV
A limited Edition single malt from Glen Spey on Speyside. The Nose: full of ripe tree fruit tones apple, pear, peach and even a hint of plum. A little water brings out creamy vanilla and a touch of chocolate. The Palate: starts with coconut and vanilla. The fruit comes through nicely giving a beautiful round sweetness.
Glen Farclas 2001 59.7% ABV
This Glen Farclas is a single barrel example bottled at eleven years old. Its robust nature sets itself apart from most other sherry cask Speyside malts. The stills at Glen Farclas are still heated on a direct fire basis. Direct fire heated pot stills are rare now in Scotland and the caramel created on the hot spot is a Glen Farcals signature. The Nose:earthy vine fruit tones, walnut shell, mustard seed & touch of fresh sugar cane. The Palate: vine fruit, hazel nut, pudding malt notes, touch of caramel, baking spice intense nutmeg long finish slightly aggressive but completely delightful in nature.
Dun Bheagan Caol Ila 22 year Old 55.4% ABV
This is a single barrel private bottling from Dun Bheagan, something of a rarity as Caol Ila will not release single casks to private bottling companies now. The distillery is currently running at full capacity just to meet the demand for the mighty Johnnie Walker blends of which Caol Ila is a major part so they have not got the spare barrels or inclination to share! The Nose: sweet char, high toned floral components, salted mango. Left to sit a for a while notes of honey roasted bacon emerge. The Palate: spicy vine fruit, chimney ash, earthy honey, sweet bacon fat and finishing charred wood.
Old Weller 107 The Original Wheated Bourbon. 53.5% ABV
Last, but not least, the Buffalo Trace produced Weller Antique 107 wheated bourbon. This is fantastic juice that never fails to impress. The Nose: rich full of corn, caramel, brown sugar. The Palate: overall sweet grain, sweet spice and this amazing dark chocolate. This bourbon shines when served on the rocks.

Body-size and aerial basking dynamics of the Spiny Softshell (Apalone spinifera) in a human-modified landscape in Tennessee, USA
Keywords:Exploitative competition, Thermoregulation, Conservation, Human pressure, Reptile, Habitat use, Habitat selection, Morphometrics, Ontogenetic shift, Ontogeny
Spiny Softshells (Apalone spinifera) are found in aquatic environments throughout much of the central-eastern USA. Although this species is widespread throughout much of Tennessee, little is known about Spiny Softshells in the state's northeastern counties. Further, little work has investigated the role of Spiny Softshell body size on resource use, and the morphometrics of the species in a human-modified ecosystem. Here we present results of a four-month capture and basking observation study conducted in 2004. We investigated whether larger body size was positively associated with presence at limited aerial basking resources that are potentially important for thermoregulation. We found that hoop trap captures positioned next to basking sites, a proxy for aerial basking resource use, were not associated with sex or body size measurements. Opportunistic basking observations revealed most individuals basked in the afternoon. Our study, while short in duration and of low sample size, builds understanding on the body size and intraspecific effects of resource use by Spiny Softshells in a human-modified ecosystem.

Study of the effectiveness of China's corporate governance reform – a board characteristics view
MetadataShow full metadata
This study investigates the effectiveness of China's corporate governance reforms in the year 2002 on firm performance. Specifically, the study investigates the relationship between good firm performance and board characteristics that capture boards' monitoring and resource provision abilities before and after the corporate governance reform. This study firstly examines whether the Chinese corporate governance reform in year 2002 has caused changes in board characteristics, then the study relates the measurements for good firm performance to board characteristics that represent boards' monitoring role (i.e., director independence, CEO-chair duality, concentration of directors appointed after the CEO, and director share ownership) and resource provision role (i.e., board size, directors on multiple board, director tenure, and frequency of supervision board meetings). The study uses a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to calculate a firm economic efficiency score as the main measurement of firm performance. For sensitivity analysis, traditional measurements including share returns, return on assets and Tobin's Q have also been applied to consolidate the findings. The study provides evidence that China's corporate governance reforms in year 2002 has resulted in changes regarding to the number of independent directors on board, CEO-chair duality, director tenure and frequency of supervision board meetings. Those changes are towards enhancing investor protection and improving firm performance, which the evidence is consistent with the prediction that the year 2002 corporate governance reforms will change the corporate governance factors of Chinese listed firms. However, inconsistent with the agency theory and resource dependence theory predictions, this study shows that board characteristics do not have a significant relationship with firm economic efficiency score. The additional tests of using traditional performance measurements also shows corporate governance factors before and after the reform do not influence firm performance. These findings point to a significant problem. It would seem that China's corporate governance reform in year 2002 has made Chinese listed firms simply obeys the governance code, rather than fully utilise it. Therefore, the corporate governance reform in the year 2002 has enhanced the corporate governance factors, however failed to improve firm performance. Therefore, the findings have implications for regulators in emerging economies, that the corporate governance code should be developed and modified based on the specific characteristics of a countries economy, rather than simply following the developed countries' regulatory system.

The last time I checked, most sugar is really dry (unless it's something like brown sugar). So why is it categorized as "wet"?
Sugar is not really a wet ingredient, it's just treated as one in certain types of baking (i.e. cakes).
When making a cake or other "fluffy" baked good, you want a fairly small amount of gluten to be produced, otherwise you'll get a chewy texture instead, and you definitely don't want a cake to be chewy like bread.
Dissolving sugar in the water inhibits the gluten-forming proteins. It's a method (actually, the method) of adding more liquid to the mix without getting a tough, chewy cake. It is for this reason that sugar is considered a "wet ingredient" - because the process only works properly if you add it with the water, not with the other dry ingredients.
It's even possible for sugar to be a dry and wet ingredient in the same recipe; you might add just enough sugar to the water to get the right texture, and add more to the dry ingredients for further sweetening.
I'm not sure what the context is, but I dug up this article that mentions sugar being a wet ingredient when baking certain items such as cake. A quick summary from the article:
"...the general idea is that Sugar and Water are Best Friends Forever, and they swear that nothing will ever separate them."
I'm guessing basically sugar is used with water (as opposed to being kept undissolved as a solid) so much that this is why it is considered 'wet,' at least in the context the article talks about.
Hope this helps!

Meet-semilattice
In mathematics, a join-semilattice (or upper semilattice) is a partially ordered set that has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Dually, a meet-semilattice (or lower semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a meet (or greatest lower bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Every join-semilattice is a meet-semilattice in the inverse order and vice versa.
Semilattices can also be defined algebraically: join and meet are associative, commutative, idempotent binary operations, and any such operation induces a partial order (and the respective inverse order) such that the result of the operation for any two elements is the least upper bound (or greatest lower bound) of the elements with respect to this partial order.
A lattice is a partially ordered set that is both a meet- and join-semilattice with respect to the same partial order. Algebraically, a lattice is a set with two associative, commutative idempotent binary operations linked by corresponding absorption laws.
Order-theoretic definition
A set S partially ordered by the binary relation meet-semilattice if
For all elements x and y of S, the greatest lower bound of the set exists.
The greatest lower bound of the set is called the meet of x and y, denoted .
Replacing "greatest lower bound" with "least upper bound" results in the dual concept of a join-semilattice. The least upper bound of {x, y} is called the join of x and y, denoted . Meet and join are binary operations on S. A simple induction argument shows that the existence of all possible pairwise suprema (infima), as per the definition, implies the existence of all non-empty finite suprema (infima).
A join-semilattice is bounded if it has a least element, the join of the empty set. Dually, a meet-semilattice is bounded if it has a greatest element, the meet of the empty set.
Other properties may be assumed; see the article on completeness in order theory for more discussion on this subject. That article also discusses how we may rephrase the above definition in terms of the existence of suitable Galois connections between related posets -- an approach of special interest for category theoretic investigations of the concept.
Algebraic definition
A meet-semilattice is an algebraic structure consisting of a set S with a binary operation ?, called meet, such that for all members x, y, and z of S, the following identities hold:
Associativity
x ? (y ? z) = (x ? y) ? z
Commutativity
x ? y = y ? x
Idempotency
x ? x = x
A meet-semilattice is bounded if S includes an identity element 1 such that for all x in S.
If the symbol ?, called join, replaces ? in the definition just given, the structure is called a join-semilattice. One can be ambivalent about the particular choice of symbol for the operation, and speak simply of semilattices.
A semilattice is a commutative, idempotent semigroup; i.e., a commutative band. A bounded semilattice is an idempotent commutative monoid.
A partial order is induced on a meet-semilattice by setting whenever . For a join-semilattice, the order is induced by setting whenever . In a bounded meet-semilattice, the identity 1 is the greatest element of S. Similarly, an identity element in a join semilattice is a least element.
Connection between both definitions
An order theoretic meet-semilattice
The relation ⟨S, ?⟩ coincides with that induced by
Hence both definitions may be used interchangeably, depending on which one is more convenient for a particular purpose. A similar conclusion holds for join-semilattices and the dual ordering >=.
Examples
Semilattices are employed to construct other order structures, or in conjunction with other completeness properties.
 - A lattice is both a join- and a meet-semilattice. The interaction of these two semilattices via the absorption law is what truly distinguishes a lattice from a semilattice.
 - The compact elements of an algebraic lattice, under the induced partial ordering, form a bounded join-semilattice.
 - Any finite semilattice is bounded, by induction.
 - A totally ordered set is a distributive lattice, hence in particular a meet-semilattice and join-semilattice: any two distinct elements have a greater and lesser one, which are their meet and join.
 - A well-ordered set is further a bounded join-semilattice, as the set as a whole has a least element, hence it is bounded.
 - The nonnegative integers N, with their usual order
 - Any single-rooted tree (with the single root as the least element) of height is a (generally unbounded) meet-semilattice. Consider for example the set of finite words over some alphabet, ordered by the prefix order. It has a least element (the empty word), which is an annihilator element of the meet operation, but no greatest (identity) element.
 - A Scott domain is a meet-semilattice.
 - Membership in any set L can be taken as a model of a semilattice with base set L, because a semilattice captures the essence of set extensionality. Let a?b denote a?L & b?L. Two sets differing only in one or both of the:
 1. Order in which their members are listed;
 2. Multiplicity of one or more members,
are in fact the same set. Commutativity and associativity of ? assure (1), idempotence, (2). This semilattice is the free semilattice over L. It is not bounded by L, because a set is not a member of itself.
 - Classical extensional mereology defines a join-semilattice, with join read as binary fusion. This semilattice is bounded from above by the world individual.
 - Given a set S, the collection of partitions of S is a join-semilattice. In fact, the partial order is given by if such that and the join of two partitions is given by . This semilattice is bounded, with the least element being the singleton partition .
Semilattice morphisms
The above algebraic definition of a semilattice suggests a notion of morphism between two semilattices. Given two join-semilattices and , a homomorphism of (join-) semilattices is a function f: S -> T such that
f(x ? y) = f(x) ? f(y).
Hence f is just a homomorphism of the two semigroups associated with each semilattice. If S and T both include a least element 0, then f should also be a monoid homomorphism, i.e. we additionally require that
f(0) = 0.
In the order-theoretic formulation, these conditions just state that a homomorphism of join-semilattices is a function that preserves binary joins and least elements, if such there be. The obvious dual--replacing ? with ? and 0 with 1--transforms this definition of a join-semilattice homomorphism into its meet-semilattice equivalent.
Note that any semilattice homomorphism is necessarily monotone with respect to the associated ordering relation. For an explanation see the entry preservation of limits.
Equivalence with algebraic lattices
There is a well-known equivalence between the category of join-semilattices with zero with -homomorphisms and the category of algebraic lattices with compactness-preserving complete join-homomorphisms, as follows. With a join-semilattice with zero, we associate its ideal lattice . With a -homomorphism of -semilattices, we associate the map , that with any ideal of associates the ideal of generated by . This defines a functor . Conversely, with every algebraic lattice we associate the -semilattice of all compact elements of , and with every compactness-preserving complete join-homomorphism between algebraic lattices we associate the restriction . This defines a functor . The pair defines a category equivalence between and .
Distributive semilattices
Surprisingly, there is a notion of "distributivity" applicable to semilattices, even though distributivity conventionally requires the interaction of two binary operations. This notion requires but a single operation, and generalizes the distributivity condition for lattices. A join-semilattice is distributive if for all a, b, and x with there exist and such that Distributive meet-semilattices are defined dually. These definitions are justified by the fact that any distri

Deeded versus assigned: Is parking created equal?
May 12, 2002|By Mark Pearlstein. Special to the Tribune.
Q. What is the significance of a deeded parking space versus an assigned parking space? Why is one better than the other?
In our condominium, we have assigned spaces. Some of the owners who do not drive would like to sell their parking spaces to others who would like to buy them. Because they are assigned, however, these owners cannot sell their spaces.
The board is wondering if there is any sense, value or detriment to going through the trouble to amend the declaration to make the spaces deeded.
A. A deeded parking space is preferable to the individual unit owner, but assigned spaces maximize the chances for all owners to obtain parking.
The term "deeded parking spaces" has two forms: The space is classified as an individual unit with a separate percentage of ownership, or the space is assigned to a particular unit as a limited common element. Developers can maximize their return for the space by selling it separately or including the limited common element space in the unit price.
An assigned parking space generally means that the parking area is part of the common elements, and spaces are assigned by the board through some form of waiting list.
If parking spaces are assigned, residents do not own their space, nor do they have any exclusive right to those areas with their unit. Thus, users of assigned spaces cannot transfer this portion of the property. An amendment to the declaration that will convert the parking area from common elements to limited common element spaces will require approval by a super majority of the owners. Given the fact that only some owners may benefit from an assigned space, this amendment may be difficult to pass.
Q. I recently moved into a condominium unit. Because it is my first experience with this form of ownership, I am a little confused. After reading our declaration and by-laws and rules before buying, it appears that the board doesn't adhere to these documents in some respects.
Non-emergency decisions are being made over the phone, e-mail and later in an open meeting by putting these decisions into the minutes. Shouldn't the final decision be voted by the board at an open meeting when owners are present?
A unit owner sustained damage to his unit caused by a water leak arising from the shut-off valve of his residence. In this case, however, the board used association money to repair his unit damage. Wasn't this the responsibility of the owner?
Recently, we received a budget for the current fiscal year. If our documents state that the budget should consist of estimated common expenses, shouldn't it have listed estimated income from interest, clubhouse rental, late payments, etc.? Under expenses in the budget, there is a line item called "contingencies." Shouldn't this money be placed in certain particular categories such as administrative, operations or maintenance?
A. Generally, all decisions of the board must be made at an open meeting when owners are present. Under the Illinois General Not-For-Profit Corporation Act, condominium boards can also make decisions by unanimous written consent.
Telephone polls are not authorized by the corporate statute or the Illinois Condominium Property Act. While the board members may discuss an issue by telephone, formal written consent of all the directors is required to validate action not taken at a meeting. E-mail is a popular means of communication by boards, but under current law, is not a substitute for decisions at an open meeting.
Owners are generally responsible for all damage to furnishings within their unit. Most declarations provide that units are also responsible for repair and maintenance to any pipes or appliances located solely within and affecting only a particular unit.
Income from sources other than assessments, including interest, clubhouse rental and other miscellaneous items, should be referenced in the budget. The board may create a contingency line item, which generally covers any expense classification that may exceed budget levels.
Q. Help. My condominium association recently changed our cable subscriber. I am not satisfied with the level of programs from the new cable provider and want to return my service to the original company.
However, my association president advised me that all association members must subscribe to the new provider.
This requirement does not seem fair or constitutional. Do I have any recourse?
A. The board of directors has a right to obtain cable television service from a single subscriber as a common expense. Section 18.4(o) of the Illinois Condominium Property Act specifically authorizes a condo board to obtain cable television service for all units and assess owners for this cost.
Board members have the authority to administer the property and determine the services and contractors that will serve the best interests of the association.


Matching Values and Beliefs
Do organizations share values and beliefs to create a positive culture featuring trust? The good ones will in youth, high school, and collegiate programs.
Organizations, coaches, and leaders in all walks of life are successful when they form a culture of success. When this development occurs early within the relationship of leader and follower, increased trust and passion for the leader are demonstrated. This knowledge is beneficial for coaches, teachers, and organizations that work with athletes of all ages to usher in a positive culture that leads to a lifetime of success.
According to Sinek (2009), cultures are groups of people who come together around a common set of values and beliefs. When the coach, assistant coach and director have a vision of success that they can clearly communicate and continuously reiterate to the athletes, parents, and support groups; a culture is cultivated.
College coaches must quickly learn about the personality, values, and beliefs of recruited athletes to determine if they will be a positive fit within the program. Contradictory values and beliefs between coach and athlete lead to players having poor experiences. Success is had when the established culture is passed down from coach to upper classman to new players just joining the program. With these groups successfully stating and demonstrating the same values and beliefs in a consistent manner, an increased chance of cohesion, trust, and passion will happen for the group.
At youth programs, the organization that shares a common set of values and beliefs with athletes and their parents can clearly communicate their vision for success and will retain more players for upcoming seasons. If training at a high level and playing competitive games each weekend is the belief of the sport club, parents and athletes that share this belief will have an amazing experience within the organization. Ensuring values and beliefs match between the groups increases the positive experience between parent and coach, player and coach, and family and organization. Families looking for sport organizations to join must ensure their beliefs and values match the organizations prior to joining to allow for the best on and off field environment to be created.
Shared values and beliefs among members of the group form trust. Trust is maintained when the leader actively promotes the values and beliefs. Restating the values and beliefs in all forms of communication to all members of the group is a necessity to maintain the established cultureAs trust continues to grow, the development of passion happens as the individual feels like they are part of something in which they believe.
Educated Coaches exists to empower athletes, organizations, coaches, and families to create opportunities for lifetime success. The Educated Coaches culture values positive growth through dynamic experiences in which the athlete, organization, coach, and family work in a cohesive manner for an objective bigger than each one of them individually…lifetime success for all.

I am new to OpenCL programming and my input is a 3D array. I am calculating the index as:
 int gidX = get_global_id(0)?1:get_global_id(0);
 int gidY = get_global_id(1)?1:get_global_id(1);
 int gidZ = get_global_id(2)?1:get_global_id(2);
 int index = gidX + (gidY*SizeX) + (gidZ*SizeY*SizeZ);
Is this the right way to do it? How do I use the local thread ids with 3d arrays? I had used it with 2d arrays as:
 int tid = get_local_id(0);
 int gid = get_global_id(0);
 int index = tid + gid*width;
And, is there a way I could use image3d_t type for my 3D volume?

It depends how you have your 3D array linearized to memory.. but Rick's answer coded as an inline function would work fine. The other optimization you may want are prefetching to local memory when possible.
/* Visualize as a cube. You are looking at the front in x,y coordinates. Z is depth. You have stored it by starting at (x=0, y=0) and taking the depth z lists of elements one by one and placing them in a contiguous array.*/
//Inline this
int matrix3D_lookup(int x, int y, int z, int sizeZ, int sizeX){
 return z+ sizeZ*x +(sizeZ*sizeX*y);

What you seem to need is some basic information about the functionality and working principles of OpenCL. Please have a look to the following links:
 1. _URL_
 2. _URL_
 3. _URL_
You code samples for getting gidX, gidY and gidZ do not make much sense and the calculation of the index is wrong, too. The calculation depends on the ordering of your 3D matrix. It should look something like:
int index = x + y * sizeX + z * sizeX * sizeY;
But you should check the documentation first. Especially the working principle of the local ids are not explained quickly.

Definition of Aliasing
Aliasing refers to the effect produced when a signal is imperfectly reconstructed from the original signal. Aliasing occurs when a signal is not sampled at a high enough frequency to create an accurate representation. This effect is shown in the following example of a sinusoidal function:
In this example, the dots represent the sampled data and the curve represents the original signal. Because there are too few sampled data points, the resulting pattern produced by the sampled data is a poor representation of the original. Aliasing is relevant in fields associated with signal processing, such as digital audio, digital photography, and computer graphics.

"Oblivion" The 3d event keeping clock.
If we could only project holograms.
 [vote for,
Most effective when displayed on a large screen. The hands of the clock are at the center of a cone. The cone is just for the shape. Written on the clock hands would be the word "present". As time passed the various things you had or have to do would swirl towards the present and then into oblivion. Oblivion being the tip and the last half of the cone. The first half of the cone would be labeled "future". Lets say you have a paper due a couple weeks from now. You write it in on the bottom of the cone and as time passes the "paper due" memo swirls towards the the center of the cone eventually meeting up with the present. As the "paper due" memo passes the hands of the clock, it would gradually shrink and fade away into nothingness. Also as ideas or events approached the center of the cone or the "present" they would increase in rotational speed creating a greater sense of urgency. Colors would also be incorporated. The center would be oranges and yellows. The future would be a calm blue that would start in a darker shade and lighten up as the event approached the center. The tip of the cone would eventually be a fade to black. You could also change the angle at which you view the cone. Head on for when your placing an event in the future and an oblique view that shows the words and dates drifting, swirling through the cone.

How to get random rows from SQL Server Table - SQL Server / TSQL Tutorial Part 117
You are working as SQL Server developer. You are asked to provide sample random data from dbo.Customer table. You might asked to provide random 100 rows or some percent of total data from table. What query you will use to provide required output?
In previous post, we learnt how to get top n rows from table. We can either provide row count or percent of records we want to get from a table by using TOP in our select query.
We can use the same Top clause but as we are asked to provide the random records, we need to sort them randomly first. We can use newid() function in order by clause to sort them randomly.
Let's create dbo.Customer table with some sample data.
Create table dbo.Customer
 (Id int,
 FName VARCHAR(50),
 LName VARCHAR(50),
 CountryShortName CHAR(2))
insert into dbo.Customer
Values (
1) use NewID ( ) in Order by to get random records
Let's say if we are interested to get 3 random records from dbo.Customer table, we can use below query.
Select top 3 * From dbo.Customer
order by NEWID()
How to get Random records from SQL Server Table - SQL Server / TSQL Tutorial
you can also use percent if you like as shown below
Select top 30 percent * From dbo.Customer
order by NEWID()
How to get random records from SQL Server table by using Top Percent with NewID() - SQL Server / TSQL Tutorial
As per Microsoft Books Online "TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM returns an approximate percentage of rows and generates a random value for each physical 8-KB page in the table. Based on the random value for a page and the percentage specified in the query, a page is either included in the sample or excluded. Each page that is included returns all rows in the sample result set".
From here you can understand that if you have small table with few pages, you might not want to use TableSample as it will include or exclude the entire page. With few records in table, you might want to use method 1 and for large tables you can use TableSample.
If I would run below query on my dbo.Customer table, Sometime I will get no records and when get the records, it will return all the records as they are placed on single page.
Select * From dbo.Customer tablesample (30 percent)
You can also use Rows you want with table sample as shown below. The rows returned can vary. you can limit them by using top n in select query.
Select * From dbo.Customer tablesample (2 rows)
When I executed above query on dbo.Customer table with total of 6 rows. It either returned me no rows or all six of them.
If you want to limit, you can use below query. Once again, I will suggest to use TableSample with big table where you have data on multiple data pages.
Select top 2 * From dbo.Customer tablesample (2 rows)


Axel Kornerup Hansen (Chairman of the board)
Axel Kornerup Hansen is a veterinarian with a doctorate in veterinary science and a Professor of laboratory animal science and welfare at the University of Copenhagen. He conducts research in the areas of reduction and refinement – primarily in rodents.
Axel's vision for the 3R field is to ensure real improvements in the welfare of animals used for research and development and to optimise the scientific results achieved from the individual animal, thus reducing the number of animals needed in each experiment.
Axel interacts well with the research community and can therefore help initiate 3R activities at research laboratories. He can also contribute to convincing researchers that using fewer animals and optimising research methods are in their own best interests.
Axel believes that the purpose of the 3R-Center's work is to launch more 3R projects, for several reasons. For instance, refinement projects will enhance animal welfare which makes being a laboratory animal a bit more fun and also make scientists happier as they will subject their animals to less distress. Reduction projects that increase the efficacy of animal testing and thus also increase the utilisation rate of the laboratory animals and replacement projects that can result in animal-free testing are also positive aspects for the researchers.

Insect swarms can generate as much static electricity as a storm cloud
Insects have been known to sense and tap into electric fields, but new research shows that swarms can actually produce atmospheric electric charges. By measuring the extent of this influence, the scientists found that large swarms could produce as much charge as a storm cloud.
Bees have a more intimate relationship with electricity than you might expect. They sense changes in electric fields to navigate to flowers. Static charges play a role in helping pollen stick to them. And they can gain an electric charge as they fly through the air. But what influence bees may have on the atmospheric electric charge hadn't been investigated.
"We always looked at how physics influenced biology, but at some point, we realized that biology might also be influencing physics," said Ellard Hunting, first author of the new study. "We're interested in how different organisms use the static electric fields that are virtually everywhere in the environment."
So, researchers at the University of Bristol and University of Reading measured the electric fields near swarming honeybees. The team placed an electric field monitor near research hives and measured changes when swarming behavior began. And sure enough, swarming honeybees raised the atmospheric electricity by between 100 and 1,000 volts per meter, depending on the density of the insects within the swarm.
From this starting point, the team then developed a model that could extrapolate the influence of other swarming insects on the atmospheric electric charge. Locusts were found to have the most substantial impact, because they can swarm at incredible, "biblical" scales. The researchers measured their charge, and combined it with records of their densities while swarming, and found that they can produce similar atmospheric electric charges as a storm cloud.
The team says that the influence of swarming insects on the atmospheric electric field is a factor that's currently overlooked in climate and weather models. It also suggests that other organisms, like birds and microbes, might have similar effects.
The research was published in the journal iScience.


inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

The RHS has undertaken an analysis of the Impact Case Studies submitted for History in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. A number of characteristics emerge from the analysis:
- Impact Case Studies were overwhelmingly headed by male historians: over 70% of listed Principal Investigators were men. This gender divide was higher at Professorial level than at other career stages, reflecting the issues surrounding gender equality highlighted in the RHS Gender Report.
- A diverse range of funding was used to support Impact Case Studies: while 31% listed support from the Arts & Humanities Research Council, nearly half did not list a specific source of external national funding.
- While there were Impact Case Studies on many different geographical areas, the UK was by far the largest area of focus (58%), followed by Europe (15%).
- Modern history was the main period focus (62%), with fewer centring on early modern (12%) or medieval history (6%).
- Public engagement was the largest impact area (listed by 66% of projects); comparatively few case studies were focused on digital impact (listed by just 9%).

How elephants keep tabs on family
By Helen Briggs
Science reporter, BBC News
Image: Richard Byrne
Elephants can identify individuals from the scent of urine
Elephants keep track on up to 30 absent relatives by sniffing out their scent and building up a mental map of where they are, research suggests.
Herd members use their good memory and keen sense of smell to stay in touch as they travel in large groups, according to a study of wild elephants in Kenya.
The University of St Andrews studied 36 family groups of elephants living in Amboseli National Park.
The research is published in the Royal Society journal, Biology Letters.
Memory update
Wild elephants form matriarchal family groups which travel, forage for food, and socialise together. Individuals need to keep track of each other, as family members split up into smaller groups or overtake companions as they wander the home range.
It may be that where elephants really excel in memory is not remembering things for very long periods but in everyday working memory
Dr Richard Byrne, St Andrews University
Psychologists from the University of St Andrews collected samples of female elephant urine from the ground and presented it to relatives to trick them into believing that the elephant had recently passed by.
Elephants showed surprise when they encountered the scent of an individual who was actually walking behind them so could not possibly have been there.
"We reckoned that only if each elephant was continually updating its memory of where everyone was, and was able to identify specific individuals from their urine, would they show any different reaction to this case," said co-researcher Dr Lucy Bates.
The elephants also reacted when the urine was from a family member who was far away, and not supposed to be in the area.
Human parallels
Dr Byrne said it is hard enough for humans to keep tabs on each other, let alone elephants, which have poor day vision.
Image: Richard Byrne
Dr Bates collects samples for the experiments
"If you think of a comparable human situation - perhaps a mum in the supermarket with three kids and a husband who'd rather be looking in the DIY section - keeping track of four or five people is really quite a strain," he told BBC News.
"But our elephants are doing it in parties of 20 to 30 family members."
But Dr Byrne said that elephants have two advantages over humans - their excellent sense of smell and, if their popular reputation is anything to go by, a good memory.
"It may be that where elephants really excel in memory is not remembering things for very long periods but in everyday working memory - where it is important to update and delete things rather than remember things forever," he added.
The research was carried out with members of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants.

About Itea Eggs
Iteas are the most common insect in Fairy World.
About the Itea Creature
Is it a peacock or a butterfly? Upon looking at the Itea, it can be difficult to decide. The answer? They're both! The Itea is a product of scientific breeding experiments at the Science and Research Center in Ark City; they've succesfully crossed both creatures.
This creature was so well-adapted to the nature environment (with minimal negative impact) that it was not necessary for this creature to need the support of genetic reconstruction at the Creature Labs. In other words, Iteas were able to be released into the wild and naturally reproduce on their own and become plentiful in numbers. Now, you can find these eggs in the Cave.

I want to know what exactly is different in the verbs "mischen" and "vermischen". Both of them mean to mix.
Is there any example where they can mean a specific thing? Are they interchangeable?
share|improve this question
Depends on context. A generic answer might be that vermischen is rather "to mix up, muddle, and/or confuse" while mischen is more deliberate. However, there certainly quite a many contexts that proves me wrong on that. – Em1 Apr 22 '14 at 12:58

An example where only one of the options is appropriate: Shuffling a deck of cards is always "mischen", never "vermischen". As a rule of thumb use "mischen" on countable sets and "vermischen" when the result is homogenous.
Beware: "mixing a drink" is neither: the correct translation is "einen Drink mixen".
share|improve this answer
well "einen Drink mischen" is not unheard of... – Vogel612 Apr 28 '14 at 16:50
Maybe its helpful that "vermischen" indicates that there are at least 2 components while "mischen" can be of one substance. Also look for the Noun " das Gemisch" there is no noun of "vermischen".
share|improve this answer
I upvoted because the 2-component-point is very pertinent, but I have to contest the last sentence: "Vermischung" and "Vermischtes" exists. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:52
According to the german wiktionary the preposition "ver-" has several meanings (well it's an old complicated language) amongst these is the notion of a "prcess that is hard to reverse" like in to fall in love sich ver-lieben. I guess that might be a good explanation. So it wants to emphasize a process of mixing that is irreversible. So if you mix water you sill end up with water. but if you mix water and sugar (so two or more components) and you "vermisch" them then they are really mixed without an easy way to separate them. this is opposed to the deck of cards that would be easy to demix if you shuffled it.
From my feeling as a native these two words can be interchanged quite frequently without a drastic change. So if someone told me "ich vermische die Karten" I would not feel compelled to correct him ;-)
share|improve this answer
Very good points about the irreversibility, but "ich vermische die Karten" for a professional act of shuffling feels very wrong. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:58
I agree it is not the really right thing, however if someone would say that I would not feel compelled to correct him in the same way as if he said "ich vermenge die Karten" for example. Also if you say "ich vermische die roten mit den grünen Karten" it would feel right again, wouldn't you say? – Magellan88 Apr 25 '14 at 8:56
"Kannst du die Karten noch einmal mischen, damit Herz und Treff besser vermischt werden?" would sound alright. – Phira Apr 25 '14 at 23:42
Yes that's sounds exactly right to me. Just note that treff is usually Kreuz in German (I know people playing bridge usually use the French words) – Magellan88 Apr 26 '14 at 11:31
Karten vermischen? Nope! Da VERwechselst du wohl etwas. – DisplayName Apr 28 '14 at 15:14
mischen - shuffle (bring chaos into some order) vermischen - mix together (mix more than one substance together) Gemisch - Mixture - mixture of more than one component (fertig) gemischt - done mixing something (fertig) vermischt - done mixing two or more components
Yes! Der Mischvorgang ist beendet. No! Der Vermischvorgang ist beendet.
mischen --> generally increasing the entropy somewhere
vermischen --> mixing two or more things of different character together

November 22, 2010 | CUNY Lecture Series, Graduate Center
Two Cuban revolutionaries, Félix Varela and José Martí, would find both prosperity and purpose in New York City during the 1800s. "They were drawn to Gotham because of its tolerance for political expression," says Carmen Boullosa, a Distinguished Lecturer at City College, "and by the possibility of winning moral and financial support." Varela, a Catholic priest who fled a death sentence by the Spanish crown, went on to publish a Spanish-language newspaper in New York that advocated the independence of Cuba and the abolition of slavery, and Martí, a beloved poet and essayist, became a national hero of the Cubans. Boullosa explores the historical and cultural connections of the Spanish-speaking world with New York City during the past two centuries, in a panel moderated by Mike Wallace and presented by the Gotham Center for New York City History at the CUNY Graduate Center.

text: This paper uses national household survey data to examine changes in real per capita incomes in South Africa between 1993 and 2008; the start and the end of the first fifteen years of post-apartheid South Africa. These data show an increase in average per capita real incomes across the distribution. Over this period growth has been shared, albeit unequally, across almost the entire spectrum of incomes. However, kernel density estimations make clear that these real income changes are not dramatic and inequality has increased. We conduct a series of semi-parametric decompositions in order to understand the role of endowments and changes in the returns to these endowments in driving these observed changes in the income distribution. This analysis highlights the positive role played by changes in endowments such as access to education and social services over the period. If these endowment changes were all that changed in South Africa over the post-apartheid period, we would have seen a pervasive rightward shift of the distribution of per capita real incomes. In the rest of the paper we explore why this did not happen.

Fish and fishes
People often ask about how the terms 'fish' and 'fishes' should be used. In fact it is often said that there is no such word as 'fishes'. This is not true.
A group of fish of the same species are called 'fish'. Two or more species of fish are called 'fishes'.
For example, a number of Eastern Australian Salmon swimming together can be called a school of fish. But if one Tarwhine starts swimming with the Eastern Australian Salmon they are called fishes.
Books such as the Sea Fishes of Southern Australia and Coastal Fishes of South-Eastern Australia use the term 'fishes', because more than one species of fish are included in the book.
For more information, view the Wikipedia comment on Fish or Fishes?

update defaults configured on individual Column objects, i.e. those described at Column INSERT/UPDATE Defaults including those configured by the Column.default, Column.onupdate, Column.server_default and Column.server_onupdate parameters, will continue to function normally even if those Column objects are not mapped. This is because in the case of Column.default and Column.onupdate, the Column object is still present on the underlying Table, thus allowing the default functions to take place when the ORM emits an INSERT or UPDATE, and in the case of Column.server_default and Column.server_onupdate, the relational database itself emits these defaults as a server side behavior.

The Best Employee Write Up Form
When you are a business owner and provide employment opportunities to some employees, you need data from the employee write up form. This is required because it often finds some problems with your employees. Employees recruited may not be as good at work every day.
Employers can also suffer losses due to poor employee performance, so the results are not satisfactory. Simple employee writes up form is at least needed to resolve it. Some conditions may also require the employer to make a formal warning letter that is professional to outline expectations and consequences.
write up forms for employees disciplinary are likely to be used when serious problems arise. It can also include ongoing mistakes made by employees. Besides, managers can also communicate with employees in written form for a more severe and authentic impression.
Employee Writing Form
Employee writing forms are warning letters which are also referred to as employee disciplinary action forms, employee behavior warnings, and even employee warning records. These names may be different for the company, but the motives behind them all remain the same.
The employee warning form is technically used and written by the company's human resources department. It is also done to highlight when work performance or behavior deteriorates, causing problems for business productivity and efficiency. Every company certainly has its policies regarding this matter.
The employee disciplinary report can be used to highlight the consequences if poor job performance or unacceptable behavior continues in the future. It can also be used as can help managers and entrepreneurs to convey and explain employee expectations regarding productivity and changes in their practice.
The employee writes up form is not advanced as a first attempt at giving a warning. This letter is stored in the company to be issued when employees exceed certain limits. As an initial warning to employees, it is usually given verbally.
When to use it?
Although the employee writing form is made for the company's interests, it cannot be used at any time. They are only presented to employees when everything becomes serious. Before this, managers and entrepreneurs had to talk to employees directly and communicate with them, telling them about their poor performance or bad behavior.
Technically, there are many reasons for writing employees because each employee has various types of behavioral and performance problems. Although there are many other causes to write it, absenteeism is the most common. There are several other common problems mentioned below.
- Use of excessive electronic communication
- Inappropriate bandages
- Does not provide quality or quantity in work
- Does not offer accuracy at work
- Not productive at work
- Violations of company policies
- Wrong deeds
- Creating interference
- Failure to follow instructions
- Personal work during working hours
- Poor appearance
- Failure to follow safety procedures
- Causes damage to company property
The employee writes up forms are critical when you have employees in your company. Make sure you have given verbal warnings to employees first. Warning letters can be forwarded to employees if you have given a lot of verbal warnings and face serious problems.


How to Backup Chrome Bookmarks
Easily backup and restore your bookmarks to and from anywhere
Chrome bookmarks use simple HTML files you can store on a USB drive, networked storage, or even the cloud without hassle. As an added bonus, other browsers like Mozilla Firefox can import Chrome's HTML files, meaning it's easier than ever to share and move your bookmark library. We show you how.
If you're logged into a Google account, your bookmarks are automatically saved in the cloud. To restore them, log into the same Google account on a different device and open Chrome.
How to Backup Chrome Bookmarks
If you're not using a Google account or want a copy of your bookmarks on your hard drive, network, or USB drive, here's how to back them up.
 1. Open Chrome.
 Google Chrome Home
 2. Locate and select the three vertical dot icon in the upper right corner of the Chrome window.
 3. Under the resulting drop-down menu, find Bookmarks.
 4. Select Bookmark Manager.
 You can also open the Bookmark Manager using the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+O.
 Google Chrome Menu
 5. Select the three-dot icon to the right side of the blue bar across the bookmarks tab, then select Export bookmarks.
 6. Chrome opens a new window that allows you to browse to the location where you want to store your backup. Select a location on your computer, name your backup file, then select Save.
 If you have a USB drive inserted in your computer or you're connected to a networked storage device, you can place your bookmarks in there. You can also store them in a folder that syncs to a cloud storage provider, like Dropbox.
 Backup Chrome Bookmarks to HTML
 7. Your backup is now safely in the location where you stored it. You can import that backup into another Chrome install or even another browser when you're ready.
How to Restore Your Chrome Bookmarks
If you ever find yourself needing to restore bookmarks from a lost Chrome install, the process is also straightforward. Here's how to do it:
 1. Open Chrome.
 Google Chrome Home
 2. Go to the bookmarks tab using the instructions above, or press CTRL+Shift+O on your keyboard. Chrome opens the tab instantly.
 Chrome Bookmark Tab
 3. Select the three dots in the upper right corner, then select Import bookmarks.
 Chrome Bookmark Manager Menu
 4. Chrome opens a file browser window. Locate your backup HTML file, select it, then choose Open to import your bookmarks.
 5. Chrome begins incorporating your backed up bookmarks. As long as your backup was from Chrome, your bookmarks should be categorized back where they belong.
 Bookmarks from other browsers will probably end up in the Other bookmarks section, but you can move them around as you like after you import them.

Question 1: All assessors
You have noticed that a previous assessor in your office has left an assessment that was completed three months ago in draft. All of the sections within the assessment have been marked complete. Do you:
 1. Mark the assessment complete yourself. This means that you are now clinically responsible for that assessment's content.
 2. Let the assessor know and ask them to mark the assessment complete.
 3. Ignore the issue as the previous assessor should be running an incomplete assessment report regularly.
Question 2: For HC, CHA, PC and LTCF Assessors
A person can only ever have one First Assessment of a particular assessment type. You have discontinued or errored out your person's 'first assessment' as you gathered more information from the family that needed to be added in.
The new assessment should be coded as:
 1. First assessment
 2. Routine assessment
 3. Return assessment
 4. Other.
Question 3: All assessors
What happens if I enter today's date as the Assessment Reference Date (ARD), and the person sees a GP later the same day and rings me to let me know some important clinical developments?
 1. Yes, include the GP visit information for that day, as you are there assessing the person on the same day.
 2. No, do not include information about any activity that occurs after the date and time you complete the assessment.
Answers
Q1: 2
Q2: 1 (this is still the person's 'first interRAI assessment of the assessment type)
Q3: 2.

Create and display a basic mesh
3-D Windows Store games typically use polygons to represent objects and surfaces in the game. The lists of vertices that comprise the structure of these polygonal objects and surfaces are called meshes. Here, we create a basic mesh for a cube object and provide it to the shader pipeline for rendering and display.

FRV Alba Na Mara 1719A
|Ship name (ship code)||FRV Alba Na Mara (74NM)|
|Cruise period||2019-10-04 — 2019-10-18|
|Port of departure||Troon, United Kingdom|
|Port of return||Troon, United Kingdom|
1. To carry out a dredge survey of king scallops in the Clyde.
2. To age, measure and assess shell damage for all king scallops caught.
3. To collect information on by-catch of other commercial fish and shellfish species.
4. To identify and quantify all starfish species in all dredge tows.
5. To collect data on king scallop ring measurements.
6. To collect king scallop meat weight and biological data.
7. To record and retain marine litter obtained during the dredging process.
8. To collect frozen whole scallops for heavy metal testing as part of the OSPAR assessment of hazardous substances in the marine environment.
9. To collect tissue samples for possible genetic testing.
10. To carry out camera trials if conditions and time allow.
The survey will depart from Troon on 4 October with the aim of conducting a dredge survey of king scallops in the Clyde region. This is a preliminary survey to collect catch rate data in an area that has not been recently surveyed for king scallops. The survey will also collect biological information on this species. An industry representative will be invited on board to view the ship and fishing gear before the survey commences.
Once vessel drills have been undertaken, the vessel will steam to the first station, the order of which will be which will decided by the SIC in consultation with the skipper. Hauls will be of 30 minutes duration. From each haul all king scallops will be measured to the half centimeter below and aged. In addition, numbers and size distribution of commercial fish and shellfish species will be recorded along with scallop shell damage and starfish numbers and species. A sub sample of king scallops will be selected for ring measurements to enable growth studies. A separate sub sample will be dissected to collect biological data which will include examination of the gonad to try and ascertain spawning period. Scallops (10 individuals per station) will also be collected from selected sites and frozen for heavy metal analysis back at the laboratory. Any litter collected in the dredges will be recorded as set out in the standard operating procedure and placed in bags to be disposed of on return to port. Camera trials will be carried out if conditions and time allow - with the aim to collect footage of the fishing gear while in operation.
If time allows, additional stations may be added out with the Clyde. Areas of particular focus would be to the south of Islay and the area to the east side of the North Channel. The survey will end on 18 October 2019 and the vessel will be berthed in Troon where all equipment and staff will then return to the laboratory.

 - Prefer {...} over do...end for single-line blocks. Avoid using {...} for multi-line blocks (multiline chaining is always ugly). Always use do...end for "control flow" and "method definitions" (e.g. in Rakefiles and certain DSLs). Avoid do...end when chaining.
 names = ["Bozhidar", "Steve", "Sarah"]

 # good
 names.each { |name| puts name }

 # bad
 names.each do |name|
 puts name
 end

 # good
 names.select { |name| name.start_with?("S") }.map { |name| name.upcase }

 # bad
 names.select do |name|
 name.start_with?("S")
 end.map { |name| name.upcase }
 Some will argue that multiline chaining would look OK with the use of {...}, but they should ask themselves - it this code really readable and can't the blocks contents be extracted into nifty methods.
 - Avoid return where not required.
 # bad
 def some_method(some_arr)
 return some_arr.size
 end

 # good
 def some_method(some_arr)
 some_arr.size
 end
 - Use spaces around the = operator when assigning default values to method parameters:
 # bad
 def some_method(arg1=:default, arg2=nil, arg3=[])
 # do something...
 end

 # good
 def some_method(arg1 = :default, arg2 = nil, arg3 = [])
 # do something...
 end
 While several Ruby books suggest the first style, the second is much more prominent in practice (and arguably a bit more readable).
 - Avoid line continuation (\) where not required. In practice, avoid using line continuations at all.
 # bad
 result = 1 - \
 2

 # good (but still ugly as hell)
 result = 1 \
 - 2
 - Using the return value of = (an assignment) is ok, but surround the assignment with parenthesis.
 # good - shows intented use of assignment
 if (v = array.grep(/foo/)) ...

 # bad
 if v = array.grep(/foo/) ...

 # also good - shows intended use of assignment and has correct precedence.
 if (v = self.next_value) == "hello" ...
 - Use ||= freely to initialize variables.
 # set name to Bozhidar, only if it's nil or false
 name ||= 'Bozhidar'
 - Don't use ||= to initialize boolean variables. (Consider what would happen if the current value happened to be false.)
 # bad - would set enabled to true even if it was false
 enabled ||= true

 # good
 enabled = true if enabled.nil?
 - Avoid using Perl-style special variables (like $0-9, '$'', etc. ). They are quite cryptic and their use in anything but one-liner scripts is discouraged.
 - Never put a space between a method name and the opening parenthesis.
 # bad
 f (3 + 2) + 1

 # good
 f(3 + 2) + 1
 - If the first argument to a method begins with an open parenthesis, always use parentheses in the method invocation. For example, write f((3 + 2) + 1).
 - Always run the Ruby interpreter with the -w option so it will warn you if you forget either of the rules above!
 - When the keys of your hash are symbols use the Ruby 1.9 hash literal syntax.
 # bad
 hash = { :one => 1, :two => 2 }

 # good
 hash = { one: 1, two: 2 }
 - Use the new lambda literal syntax.
 # bad
 lambda = lambda { |a, b| a + b }
 lambda.call(1, 2)

 # good
 lambda = ->(a, b) { a + b }
 lambda.(1, 2)
Naming
The only real difficulties in programming are cache invalidation and naming things.
-- Phil Karlton
 - Use snake_case for methods and variables.
 - Use CamelCase for classes and modules. (Keep acronyms like HTTP, RFC, XML uppercase.)
 - Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for other constants.
 - The names of predicate methods (methods that return a boolean value) should end in a question mark. (i.e. Array#empty?).
 - The names of potentially "dangerous" methods (i.e. methods that modify self or the arguments, exit!, etc.) should end with an exclamation mark.
 - When using reduce with short blocks, name the arguments |a, e| (accumulator, element).
 - When defining binary operators, name the argument other.
 def +(other)
 # body omitted
 end
 - Prefer map over collect, find over detect, select over find_all, reduce over inject and size over length. This is not a hard requirement; if the use of the alias enhances readability, it's ok to use it. The rhyming methods are inherited from Smalltalk and are not common in other programming languages. The reason the use of select is encouraged over find_all is that it goes together nicely with reject and its name is pretty self-explanatory.
Comments
Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, "How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?" Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.
-- Steve McConnell
 - Write self-documenting code and ignore the rest of this section. Seriously!
 - Comments longer than a word are capitalized and use punctuation. Use one space after periods.
 - Avoid superfluous comments.
 # bad
 counter += 1 # increments counter by one
 - Keep existing comments up-to-date. No comment is better than an outdated comment.
 - Avoid writing comments to explain bad code. Refactor the code to make it self-explanatory. (Do or do not - there is no try.)
Annotations
 - Annotations should usually be written on the line immediately above the relevant code.
 - The annotation keyword is followed by a colon and a space, then a note describing the problem.
 - If multiple lines are required to describe the problem, subsequent lines should be indented two spaces after the #.
 def bar
 # FIXME: This has crashed occasionally since v3.2.1. It may
 # be related to the BarBazUtil upgrade.
 baz(:quux)
 end
 - In cases where the problem is so obvious that any documentation would be redundant, annotations may be left at the end of the offending line with no note. This usage should be the exception and not the rule.
 def bar
 sleep 100 # OPTIMIZE
 end
 - Use TODO to note missing features or functionality that should be added at a later date.
 - Use FIXME to note broken code that needs to be fixed.
 - Use OPTIMIZE to note slow or inefficient code that may cause performance problems.
 - Use HACK to note code smells where questionable coding practices were used and should be refactored away.
 - Use REVIEW to note anything that should be looked at to confirm it is working as intended. For example: REVIEW: Are we sure this is how the client does X currently?
 - Use other custom annotation keywords if it feels appropriate, but be sure to document them in your project's README or similar.
Classes
 - When designing class hierarchies make sure that they conform to the Liskov Substitution Principle.
 - Try to make your classes as [SOLID](_URL_ as possible.
 - Always supply a proper to_s method for classes that represent domain objects.
 class Person
 attr_reader :first_name, :last_name

 def initialize(first_name, last_name)
 @first_name = first_name
 @last_name = last_name
 end

 def to_s
 "#@first_name #@last_name"
 end
 end
 - Use the attr family of functions to define trivial accessors or mutators.
 # bad
 class Person
 def initialize(first_name, last_name)
 @first_name = first_name
 @last_name = last_name
 end

 def first_name
 @first_name
 end

 def last_name
 @last_name
 end
 end

 # good
 class Person
 attr_reader :first_name, :last_name

 def initialize(first_name, last_name)
 @first_name = first_name
 @last_name = last_name
 end
 end
 - Consider adding factory methods to provide additional sensible ways to create instances of a particular class.
 class Person
 def self.create(options_hash)
 # body omitted
 end
 end
 - Prefer duck-typing over inheritance.
 # bad
 class Animal
 # abstract method
 def speak
 end
 end

 # extend superclass
 class Duck < Animal
 def speak
 puts 'Quack! Quack'
 end
 end

 # extend superclass
 class Dog < Animal
 def speak
 puts 'Bau! Bau!'
 end
 end

 # good
 class Duck
 def speak
 puts 'Quack! Quack'
 end
 end

 class Dog
 def speak

Directing Traffic with Policy Routing¶
Policy routing in pfSense® software refers to the capability of routing traffic by matching it to specific firewall rules. This is primary used for multi-WAN, though it has other uses as well.
Each firewall rule allows for the selection of a gateway. If none is selected, traffic goes out the default gateway or follows the routing table. If additional WAN interfaces or gateway groups are defined, these may be selected in the Gateway field when adding or editing rules to direct matching traffic as desired.
For more information, refer to the Policy Routing Configuration section of The pfSense Book.


text: At present appropriate utilization of water resources is vital. Development and establishment of communities along rivers have made the safety against floods very significant. Therefore, dam operation management becomes vital and maneuvering of gates is the most important issue in this regard. Spillway gate operation policies to reduce flood losses and preservation of storage and safety of the dam are studied in this paper. In this regard, multi-stage operation methods are studied and analyzed. The fuzzy logic principles are used to optimize gate operation and overcome weak points of multistage operation method. Karun III dam is considered as a case study and the five stage flood routing policy followed by the fuzzy logic based operation of spillway gates of the reservoir during floods has been applied. The fuzzy logic results in smooth routed hydrographs rather than stepped ones. Eventually, verification of the proposed method has been done by a comparison with the results obtained by using the genetic algorithm to optimize gate operation assuming known inflow hydrographs. Results indicate that the proposed method is quite satisfactory.

4. Advanced use cases
4.1. Sub-actions
Sub-actions provide references to actions associated with a parent entity (e.g. a parent action, a record). A sub-action is represented by the SubAction class.
Sub-actions support argument and result substitutions.
Table 1. Sub-action properties
Property Description
name
A sub-action name.
label
A sub-action label.
description
A sub-action description.
List<SubActionArg> args
Sub-action argument substitutions. An argument substitution is represented by the SubActionArg class. It can be added using the following methods: withArgs(List<SubActionArg> args), withArg(SubActionArg arg) and withArg(String target, String source).
SubActionResult result
A sub-action result substitution. A result substitution is represented by the SubActionResult class. It can be added using the following methods: withResult(SubActionResult result) and withResult(String target).
Map<String, Object> features
Sub-action features.
Table 2. Argument substitution properties
Property Description
String target
A target attribute name (i.e. an argument name of a sub-action).
String source
A source attribute (i.e. an argument name of a parent entity).
Map<String, Object> features
Argument substitution features.
Table 3. Result substitution properties
Property Description
String target
A target attribute for the result (i.e. a nargument name of a parent entity).
Map<String, Object> features
Result substitution features.
Table 4. Substitution keywords
Keyword Substitution Description
@this
argument source
In case of a sub-action for an action it is a record of all parent action arguments. In case of a record argument or a list element it is the value itself.
@this
result target
It represents all action arguments or a whole record value or a list element. If a sub-action returns null and the result substitution is @this, the result will be ignored.
@index
argument source
A list element index. Applies only for lists.
@parent
argument source
A whole list for a list element sub-actions. Applies only for lists.
@parent
result target
A whole list for a list element sub-actions. Applies only for lists.
4.1.1. Argument substitution
A target argument must have the same type as a source value. A source argument name could be a path if a source value is a record, e.g. "arg1.field1".
If a sub-action has any visible arguments, a new action call screen will be shown.
The sub-action related features are not propagated to a sub-action in an annotated value feature.
Sub-actions can use globally saved (in a mobile application) action arguments but only if there is no argument substitutions (i.e. there are no arguments passed from the main action). It is necessary to avoid inconsistency.
4.1.2. Result substitution
A sub-action result can be assigned to a parent action argument.
4.2. Context actions
Context actions are sub-actions that can be specified for an action, a record and a list element (see the list-details). Context actions should be specified as the contextActions feature statically for a type or an action or dynamically for an annotated value. The latter option takes precedence.

Jakarta: Research and Technology Minister Bambang P. S. Brodjonegoro urged researchers to concentrate on four areas, including import substitution and frontier technology.
"We should be able to come up with innovative products that we can take pride in," Brodjonegoro noted while delivering the National Priority Research Fund (PRN) to incentive receipt institutions here on Friday.
The call was made to cover four areas of concern -- applicable technology, value-added products and downstreaming, import substitution and local content improvement, and frontier technology -- during research and development.
"We want that research and innovation should yield applicable technology, as most of our people are residing in rural areas, with access to some not being easy. Hence, they would need applicable technology to make their lives better," Brodjonegoro noted.
The BRIN head remarked that research and innovation should also boost the value of natural resources, such as in the plantation and mining sectors. Thus, Indonesia can increase the exports of processed products rather than raw materials.
"It is time for Indonesia to strengthen its position as an exporter of processed and natural resource-based innovative products," he emphasized.
The minister affirmed that the efforts directed at boosting local content and import substitution aimed at stabilizing the economy. Dependency on imports should be reduced by increasing import substitution as well as the local content without lowering the quality of goods and services.
"We have to strengthen technology and encourage all Indonesians to support the use of domestic products," he stated.
The minister has urged researchers to adopt the latest technology. "We should not lag behind in the field of technology and at the end only become a consumer of the technology," he emphasized. (antara)
