The Hefei TV tower is taken as an analytical case to examine the control method with a fluid viscous damper under wind load fluctuation. Firstly, according to the random vibration theory, the effect of fluctuating wind on the tower can be modeled as a 19-dimensional correlated random process, and the wind-induced vibration analysis of the tower subjected to dynamic wind load was further obtained. On the basis of the others' works, a bimodel dynamic model is proposed. Finally, a dynamic model is proposed to study the wind-induced vibration control analysis using viscous fluid dampers, and the optimal damping coefficient is obtained regarding the wind-induced response of the upper turret as optimization objectives. Analysis results show that the maximum peak response of the tower under dynamic wind load is far beyond the allowable range of the code. The wind-induced responses and the wind vibration input energy of the tower are decreased greatly by using a fluid viscous damper, and the peak acceleration responses of the upper turret is reduced by 43.4%.

Keep your PS3 cool as ice and prevent freezing by giving it some TLC with these maintenance tips.
Maintenance Tips to Prevent PS3 Freezing
To prevent PS3 freezing, maintenance is key. Keep your console cool, clean it regularly, and keep the system software updated. These three maintenance tips will ensure your PS3 runs smoothly and prevent any frustrating freezes.
Keep the PS3 Console Cool
To prevent PS3 freezing, it is vital to maintain the right temperature around the console. High temperatures can cause overheating leading to failure or worse – permanent damage. Here are five ways to keep the PS3 console cool and functional for long periods:
 - Ensure adequate ventilation
 - Keep the console away from direct sunlight or heat sources
 - Use cooling fans or AC units near the console
 - Clean any dust accumulation around/beneath the console regularly
 - Regularly check for malfunctioning fan(s) of the PS3 and replace, if necessary.
In addition to preventing PS3 freezing, ensuring optimal performance also means protecting your investment. Remember that regular maintenance includes keeping up with firmware/software updates and avoiding excessive gameplay sessions on consecutive days.
Once, a friend had purchased a brand new PS3 but left it running overnight without proper ventilation. The next morning, he woke up to a completely dead console that refused to turn on. He had not considered proper heat regulation during gameplay or handling his device post-usage. Ultimately, he had to buy another one after paying exorbitant repair costs. It was an expensive lesson learned – maintaining ideal temperatures in any electronic device and taking care of it remains crucial in preserving its longevity.
Don't let your PS3 collect more dust than your Tinder matches – give it a good cleaning regularly.
Clean the PS3 Console Regularly
In order to maintain optimal performance of your PS3 console, it's essential to regularly clean and maintain it. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, causing freezing and other issues with the system.

St. Catherine University partners with University of Minnesota to launch high-altitude weather balloon
During Minnesota Aerospace and Aviation Week, students and faculty from St. Catherine University teamed up with students and faculty from the University of Minnesota to launch a high-altitude weather balloon on Flight Day.
The goal of the flight was to use a helium-filled latex weather balloon to lift scientific payloads into "near space." Students and faculty would then recover the units, retrieving data that would later be used for scientific research.
Though the weather balloon did not reach its anticipated height on this particular day, the students conducted a successful launch.

Issue | Canada engages in a new approach to resolve specific claims made by First Nations.
Synopsis | The Specific Claims Tribunal Act established an administrative tribunal with the authority to make binding decisions on claims and to award monetary compensation up to $150 million per claim. Claims over $150 million will be dealt with through a specially mandated Cabinet process.
Timing | Under the Specific Claims Tribunal Act, certain claims will be eligible for filing with the Specific Claims Tribunal as of 16 October 2011.
Federal policy divides Aboriginal land claims into two broad categories: specific claims and comprehensive claims. Specific claims arise from the alleged non-fulfillment of historic treaties between First Nations and the Crown, or improper administration of First Nations lands and other assets by the Crown. Comprehensive claims are based on the assertion of continuing Aboriginal rights and title that have not been dealt with by treaty or other legal means. This overview focuses on the specific claims process.
Between April 2010 and April 2011, 18 specific claims were settled at a total value of approximately $666 million. The monetary value of the claims settled in this period ranged from $134,283 to $231.4 million. As of 5 April 2011, 503 specific claims remain in the federal inventory of claims under assessment or in negotiations.1
Over the past several years, the federal specific claims process has been the subject of legal and policy reform initiatives intended to reduce the backlog of outstanding claims. In response to a 2006 report of the Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples, which highlighted the need for reforms to the specific claims process in several areas, the federal government launched Specific Claims: Justice at Last – Canada's Specific Claims Action Plan in June 2007. The reforms proposed in the action plan included an independent tribunal to make binding decisions on claims that cannot be resolved by negotiations, dedicated funding for specific claims settlements, and practical measures to improve the processing of both small and large claims.2

The Specific Claims Tribunal Act was introduced in the House of Commons on 27 November 2007 and came into force on 16 October 2008. The Act creates the Specific Claims Tribunal, an administrative tribunal composed of Superior Court judges with authority to make binding decisions on claims and to award monetary compensation up to a maximum of $150 million per claim.
The Act stipulates that a First Nation may file a claim with the tribunal if the claim has been previously filed with the minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and if:
In effect, the Specific Claims Tribunal Act introduces three-year timelines for the assessment and negotiation of specific claims. As a result of these timelines, certain cases will become eligible for filing with the tribunal as of 16 October 2011.
With this deadline in view, the Specific Claims Tribunal is currently preparing for the commencement of operations. Between November 2009 and November 2010, several Superior Court judges were appointed to the tribunal, and Justice Harry Slade was appointed as its chairperson. Draft Rules of Practice and Procedure were made public in June 2010 and are currently under review by the Department of Justice. The tribunal's first annual report, dated 30 September 2010, provides a synopsis of work undertaken to that date and of anticipated activities through the current and following fiscal years.3
The introduction of the Specific Claims Tribunal Act in November 2007 was accompanied by the signing of a political agreement between the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. The political agreement provides for additional discussion on improvements in the resolution of specific claims not directly addressed in the legislation, including matters related to claims that exceed the monetary cap of $150 million. The development of a Cabinet process to address claims over $150 million is ongoing.

git diff-index --cached $H would have produced
 before such a two tree merge. This is because of cases 18 and 19 ---
 if you already had the changes in $M (e.g. maybe you picked it up via
 e-mail in a patch form), git diff-index --cached $H would have told
 you about the change before this merge, but it would not show in git
 diff-index --cached $M output after the two-tree merge.
 Case 3 is slightly tricky and needs explanation. The result from this
 rule logically should be to remove the path if the user staged the
 removal of the path and then switching to a new branch. That however
 will prevent the initial checkout from happening, so the rule is
 modified to use M (new tree) only when the content of the index is
 empty. Otherwise the removal of the path is kept as long as $H and $M
 are the same.
 3-Way Merge
 Each "index" entry has two bits worth of "stage" state. stage 0 is
 the normal one, and is the only one you'd see in any kind of normal
 use.
 However, when you do git read-tree with three trees, the "stage"
 starts out at 1.
 This means that you can do
 $ git read-tree -m <tree1> <tree2> <tree3>
 and you will end up with an index with all of the <tree1> entries in
 "stage1", all of the <tree2> entries in "stage2" and all of the
 <tree3> entries in "stage3". When performing a merge of another
 branch into the current branch, we use the common ancestor tree as
 <tree1>, the current branch head as <tree2>, and the other branch
 head as <tree3>.
 Furthermore, git read-tree has special-case logic that says: if you
 see a file that matches in all respects in the following states, it
 "collapses" back to "stage0":
 · stage 2 and 3 are the same; take one or the other (it makes no
 difference - the same work has been done on our branch in stage 2
 and their branch in stage 3)
 · stage 1 and stage 2 are the same and stage 3 is different; take
 stage 3 (our branch in stage 2 did not do anything since the
 ancestor in stage 1 while their branch in stage 3 worked on it)
 · stage 1 and stage 3 are the same and stage 2 is different take
 stage 2 (we did something while they did nothing)
 The git write-tree command refuses to write a nonsensical tree, and
 it will complain about unmerged entries if it sees a single entry
 that is not stage 0.
 OK, this all sounds like a collection of totally nonsensical rules,
 but it's actually exactly what you want in order to do a fast merge.
 The different stages represent the "result tree" (stage 0, aka
 "merged"), the original tree (stage 1, aka "orig"), and the two trees
 you are trying to merge (stage 2 and 3 respectively).
 The order of stages 1, 2 and 3 (hence the order of three <tree-ish>
 command-line arguments) are significant when you start a 3-way merge
 with an index file that is already populated. Here is an outline of
 how the algorithm works:
 · if a file exists in identical format in all three trees, it will
 automatically collapse to "merged" state by git read-tree.
 · a file that has any difference what-so-ever in the three trees
 will stay as separate entries in the index. It's up to "porcelain
 policy" to determine how to remove the non-0 stages, and insert a
 merged version.
 · the index file saves and restores with all this information, so
 you can merge things incrementally, but as long as it has entries
 in stages 1/2/3 (i.e., "unmerged entries") you can't write the
 result. So now the merge algorithm ends up being really simple:
 · you walk the index in order, and ignore all entries of stage
 0, since they've already been done.
 · if you find a "stage1", but no matching "stage2" or "stage3",
 you know it's been removed from both trees (it only existed
 in the original tree), and you remove that entry.
 · if you find a matching "stage2" and "stage3" tree, you remove
 one of them, and turn the other into a "stage0" entry. Remove
 any matching "stage1" entry if it exists too. .. all the
 normal trivial rules ..
 You would normally use git merge-index with supplied git
 merge-one-file to do this last step. The script updates the files in
 the working tree as it merges each path and at the end of a
 successful merge.
 When you start a 3-way merge with an index file that is already
 populated, it is assumed that it represents the state of the files in
 your work tree, and you can even have files with changes unrecorded
 in the index file. It is further assumed that this state is "derived"
 from the stage 2 tree. The 3-way merge refuses to run if it finds an
 entry in the original index file that does not match stage 2.
 This is done to prevent you from losing your work-in-progress
 changes, and mixing your random changes in an unrelated merge commit.
 To illustrate, suppose you start from what has been committed last to
 your repository:
 $ JC='git rev-parse --verify "HEAD^0"'
 $ git checkout-index -f -u -a $JC
 You do random edits, without running git update-index. And then you
 notice that the tip of your "upstream" tree has advanced since you
 pulled from him:
 $ git fetch git://.... linus
 $ LT='git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD'
 Your work tree is still based on your HEAD ($JC), but you have some
 edits since. Three-way merge makes sure that you have not added or
 modified index entries since $JC, and if you haven't, then does the
 right thing. So with the following sequence:
 $ git read-tree -m -u 'git merge-base $JC $LT' $JC $LT
 $ git merge-index git-merge-one-file -a
 $ echo "Merge with Linus" | \
 git commit-tree 'git write-tree' -p $JC -p $LT
 what you would commit is a pure merge between $JC and $LT without
 your work-in-progress changes, and your work tree would be updated to
 the result of the merge.
 However, if you have local changes in the working tree that would be
 overwritten by this merge, git read-tree will refuse to run to
 prevent your changes from being lost.
 In other words, there is no need to worry about what exists only in
 the working tree. When you have local changes in a part of the
 project that is not involved in the merge, your changes do not
 interfere with the merge, and are kept intact. When they do
 interfere, the merge does not even start (git read-tree complains
 loudly and fails without modifying anything). In such a case, you can
 simply continue doing what you were in the middle of doing, and when
 your working tree is ready (i.e. you have finished your
 work-in-progress), attempt the merge again.
SPARSE CHECKOUT top
 "Sparse checkout" allows populating the working directory sparsely.
 It uses the skip-worktree bit (see git-update-index(1)) to tell Git
 whether a file in the working directory is worth looking at.
 git read-tree and other merge-based commands (git merge, git
 checkout...) can help maintaining the skip-worktree bitmap and
 working directory update. $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout is used to
 define the skip-worktree reference bitmap. When git read-tree needs
 to update the working directory, it resets the skip-worktree bit in
 the index based on this file, which uses the same syntax as
 .gitignore files. If an entry matches a pattern in this file,
 skip-worktree will not be set on that entry. Otherwise, skip-worktree
 will be set.
 Then it compares the new skip-worktree value with the previous one.
 If skip-worktree turns from set to unset, it will add the
 corresponding file back. If it turns from unset to set, that file
 will be removed.
 While $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout is usually used to specify what
 files are in, you can also specify what files are not in, using
 negate patterns. For example, to remove the file unwanted:
 /*
 !unwanted
 Another tricky thing is fully repopulating the working directory when
 you no longer want sparse checkout. You cannot just disable "sparse
 checkout" because skip-worktree bits are still in the index and your
 working directory is still sparsely populated. You should re-populate
 the working directory with the $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file
 content as follows:
 /*
 Then you can disable sparse checkout. Sparse checkout support in git

in the phloem sap reaches the sugar sink, it must be unloaded
What happens once the phloem sap reached the sugar sink?
unloaded by the sucroseH+ transport protein and ATPase to sink cells, now V is lower outside the phloem (in the sink cells) so there is bulk flow of water through osmosis out of the phloem to xylem and sink, once there is increased water in the xylem bulk flow will start there as well and the water will be moved back towards the sugar source via the xylem
How is C stored and then mobilized?
C is stored as polysaccharides in granules in the chlpst of leaves or in plastids of parenchyma cells of storage roots or stems.
enzymes are utilized to either polymerized glucose into starch when sugar is plentiful, or, other enzymes depolymerize starch into glucose and then glucose is loaded into the phloem for transport to whatever the glucose is required.
What happens when C changes in C storage?
whether an organ is a sugar sink or source can change as demand for C changes, the demand may vary from season to season and even day to night in some cases.
How is water of the xylem sap held together?
cohesion: which is simply identical compounds sticking together

Scout's response to waking up in the morning after a long night's sleep and seeing strange objects falling from the sky is probably not unusual for a small child living in the Deep South. It was her first sight of snow, and she had no idea what it was.
"The world's endin', Atticus!"
It was Jem's first look at snow as well, but at least he figured out what it was. When the kids went outside to play in Miss Maudie's yard (they were trying to save the snow in their own yard), they were harassed again by Mr. Avery. He had already blamed Jem and Scout for the unusually cold recent weather, telling them that it "was written on the Rosetta Stone" that children who behaved badly caused the seasons to change. This time he blamed them on the snow as well, telling them that it was the first time it had "snowed in Maycomb since Appomattox"--the sight of General Robert E. Lee's surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in 1865.

Newspaper Dance
 - 2 or 3 sheets of newspaper
There are many ways to create dances with a double sheet of newspaper.
 1. Open the newspaper and spread it on the floor.
 2. Skip around it; jump on it; run and leap over it; slither under it; swivel on it with your feet together.
 3. Now pick up the newspaper and wave it from side to side; run with it high in the air; throw it up in the air and watch it float to the floor; repeat and then try to imitate the movement pattern of the newspaper.
 4. Next, crumple the newspaper into a ball; throw the ball and catch it; roll it along the floor and follow on your hands and knees; stand up and dribble it with your feet; lie on your back and hold the ball between your feet how many different movements can you make?
 5. Finally, spread the paper out flat again; pick it up, and as you move from place to place, shred the paper into little pieces and toss them into the air like confetti; scoop up handfuls and throw into the air as you conclude the "newspaper dance."
Note: Be sure to pick up all the pieces of newspaper and take them to the recycling bin!

The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is located along northern Denmark's North Sea Coast. Once used to support security in the region, it was first lit in December of 1900. The structure was deliberately built on the slope's uppermost point, precisely 60 meters above the sea level and approximately 200 meters inland. While the erosion could not have been predicted then, these pictures reveal that due to environmental occurrences, it has become dilapidated.
The Denmark landmark is now buried beneath heaps of sand. The passing of decades came with the movement of the sea, bringing the waters closer and closer to the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse. This movement of the sea was naturally accompanied by heaps of sand, which began to pile up around the base. While efforts were made to remove the sand, it was eventually abandoned. These images reveal what has come of this abandonment, demonstrating the transience of human construction.

Ninja Wilderness Survival Guide
Surviving Extreme Outdoor Situations (Modern Skills from Japan's Greatest Survivalists)
Ninja master and survival expert Hakim Isler presents modern day survival strategies based on the techniques of Japan's ancient ninja.
If you find yourself in an unexpected extreme situation—while wilderness camping, hiking or adventuring off the beaten path—a fundamental understanding of your surroundings can make the difference between life and death. By harnessing the powers of nature, the ninja built a legendary reputation as survivalists with an ability to thrive in even the most inhospitable situations. By studying their ancient philosophy and techniques, alongside modern science, you can prepare yourself to survive in any outdoor environment.
The basis for ninja survival skills comes from the Buddhist philosophy of the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and the Void. By understanding how the elements relate to the human body, the formula for survival becomes clear.
- Earth – protection from the harsh elements using trees, leaves, dirt, grass, and vines to build shelter
- Water – effectively cool off when overheated and avoid dehydration
- Fire – properly use fire to warm the body and to purify water by boiling it
- Wind – harness the power of wind to ventilate shelters, smoke meat and help build fires
- Void – apply knowledge and creativity while developing a survival plan
Isler has over 20 years of experience as a martial artist, Special Forces soldier and security expert. With over 135 full-color photos and 60 illustrations detailing these time-tested methods, this book offers insights that are extremely practical.
The foreword by Ninjutsu master Stephen K. Hayes masterfully connects the past to the present by providing unique and valuable insights for surviving mentally in the outdoors.

 - How many miles should a car last?
How many miles should a car last?
Author of the blog (work in a car repair shop)
Ask Q
How many miles should a car last?
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
What is high mileage for a used car?
What is considered high mileage on a car? Often, 100,000 miles is considered a cut-off point for used cars because older vehicles often start requiring more expensive and frequent maintenance when mileage exceeds 100,000.
How many miles can an engine last?
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
Can a car last 500000 miles?
Is mileage more important than age?
Is Mileage More Important Than Age? The short answer is no. There is no clear winner in the battle of mileage vs age. This is because, when shopping for a used car, you don't just base your decision on either one.
What mileage is too high?
Up to 1000 miles a month – or 12,000 miles per year – is seen as average car use, any more than that would be considered high mileage – a two-year-old car with 40,000 miles, say. That said, the term 'high mileage' is usually reserved for cars that have covered 100,000 miles or more.
Should I buy a car with 75000 miles?
If you would like to drive your next used car for five years, for example, you'll want to find a car that has at least another 75,000 miles of expected life ahead of it. With that in mind, a good mileage range for a used car would be between 75,000 and 100,000 miles, since many cars last beyond the 150,000-mile point.
When should I replace my car?
Know what your car is worth. Use tools available from sites like Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds to determine trade-in or retail value of cars similar to yours. A good rule of thumb is to employ the so-called "50-percent rule." When repairs cost 50 percent of what your car is worth, it's time to replace.
At what mileage do cars start having problems?
Generally, vehicles are likely to start experiencing problems after the 100,000-mile mark. Also, in most cases, they no longer have a valid manufacturer's warranty, meaning you have to pay for repairs out of your own pocket when something goes wrong.
How long should you own a car?
In general, however, people don't really keep their cars forever. Research by R.L. Polk says that the average age of a modern vehicle is 11.4 years, while the average length of time drivers keep a new vehicle is 71.4 months — around 6 years. So even if you plan to own a car forever, the statistics are against you.
What percentage of cars make it to 300 000 miles?
Can a car last 250000 miles?
Today's cars are built to last for 250,000 miles or more with regular care. This is according to Bob Weber, who's a Chicago Tribune auto columnist. Sure, there are some cars that lend themselves well to running for a long time, and those that need a little more work, but the effort is often worth it.
Can cars last 300 000 miles?
Can a car engine run forever?
In a vacuum (and with infinite fuel), your engine would continue to run forever. But in reality, several things might occur if your car idles for too long. To avoid running your car for too long, you should only idle your vehicle for a few minutes at most before either moving your vehicle or turning the engine off.
Can you make a car last forever?
Okay, you really can't make your car last forever. But more and more people are moving away from the cycle of buying or leasing new vehicles every 2-3 years, instead electing to save money by keeping their current vehicles in the best-running shape possible for the longest period of time.
Can a car engine last forever?
Most engines on the road today are designed to last well over 100,000 miles. An engine will last much longer if the engine is not abused in any way and all maintenance that the manufacturer recommends is done on or before it is due.
What is the best age to buy a used car?
In retaining "like new" quality and inheriting a slower depreciation rate, the best used car age for buying is 2-3 years. In fact, Americans are saving up to $14,000 on a 3-year-old vehicle. For example, a car that may have cost you $30,000 when new would cost around $16,000 after just 3 years.
Is it OK to buy an old car with low mileage?
It's typically a general rule of thumb to go for the car with the lowest number of miles on it. The more miles a car has, the more likely it is to need repairs and maintenance. This raises the question of whether buying a used car with unusually low miles on it can lead to problems down the road.
What is considered an old car?
On the average, though, for a car to be considered a "Classic Car" it must be at least 25 years old, and 50 years old for it to be considered an "Antique Car". However, some states consider anything made after the end of the Forties a Classic, and anything from 1949 back to be an Antique.
Is it worth buying a car with over 100K miles?
Is it worth buying a car with high mileage?
Here's the answer: Overall, a car that has been driven enough, has been maintained well, and has high mileage will be a reliable choice. Thanks to modern technology, lifespans have increased. At one point, 100,000 miles were considered to be a long life for a car.
How many miles should a 10 year old car have?
Is it cheaper to fix an old car or buy a new one?
How often should you buy a new car?
Many car owners make the mistake of assuming that they need to replace their vehicles every few years. The average age of a vehicle on the road is about 11 years, but most drivers keep a car for about six years. Here are some factors to consider when deciding if it's time for a newer model.
How long should a car last?
How Long Should a Car Last? Many modern vehicles can last up to or even past 200,000 miles, according to automotive experts. Today's cars, SUVs, and trucks are more durable than ever and require less maintenance to run correctly, which has boosted the average age of a car on the road in the United States to nearly 12 years old.
How many miles left on a car should I buy?
For example, if you're looking at a car with 100,000 miles that's in good condition and from a brand whose vehicles are known to pass the 200,000-mile mark, then you could have as many as 100,000 miles left on that vehicle. If you drive fewer than 10,000 miles per year, that could mean at least 10 years of life.
How many miles will a General Motors SUV last?
The Suburban is, probably, the only General Motors SUV that will make the list of cars capable of lasting longer than 300,000 miles. Many Suburban owners reported having clocked more than 200,000 miles, but owners who take good care of their cars will see the 300,000 mark. Besides the durability, the car looks stunning.
What is the average mileage on a car?
When you're looking for any car, its mileage is an important thing to consider. In general, the average mileage on a car is assumed to be between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year, according to...

the value of clientip falls in the subnet range, then network is given the value local. Otherwise, network=other.
The eval command does not do any special formatting to your results -- it just creates a new field which takes the value based on the eval expression. After you run this search, use the fields sidebar to add the network field to your results. Now you can see, inline with your search results, which IP addresses are part of your local network and which are not. Your events list should look something like this:
EvalEx2 events.png
Another option for formatting your results is to pipe the results of eval to the table command to display only the fields of interest to you. (See Example 13)
Note: This example just illustrates how to use the cidrmatch function. If you want to classify your events and quickly search for those events, the better approach is to use event types. Read more about event types in the Knowledge manager manual.
14. Extract information from an event into a separate field, create a multivalue field
This example uses generated email data (sourcetype=cisco_esa). You should be able to run this example on any email data by replacing the sourcetype=cisco_esa with your data's sourcetype value and the mailfrom field with your data's email address field name (for example, it might be To, From, or Cc).
Use the email address field to extract the user's name and domain. The eval command in this search contains multiple expressions, separated by commas.
sourcetype="cisco_esa" mailfrom=* | eval accountname=split(mailfrom,"@"), from_user=mvindex(accountname,0), from_domain=mvindex(accountname,-1) | table mailfrom, from_user, from_domain
This example uses the split() function to break the mailfrom field into a multivalue field called accountname. The first value of accountname is everything before the "@" symbol, and the second value is everything after.
The example then uses mvindex() function to set from_user and from_domain to the first and second values of accountname, respectively.
The results of the eval expressions are then piped into the table command. You can see the the original mailfrom values and the new from_user and from_domain values in the following results table:
EvalEx4 results.png
Note: This example is really not that practical. It was written to demonstrate how to use an eval function to identify the individual values of a multivalue fields. Because this particular set of email data did not have any multivalue fields, the example creates one (accountname) from a single value field (mailfrom).
15. Categorize events using the match function
This example uses generated email data (sourcetype=cisco_esa). You should be able to run this example on any email data by replacing the sourcetype=cisco_esa with your data's sourcetype value and the mailfrom field with your data's email address field name (for example, it might be To, From, or Cc).
This example classifies where an email came from based on the email address's domain: .com, .net, and .org addresses are considered local, while anything else is considered abroad. (Of course, domains that are not .com/.net/.org are not necessarily from abroad.)
The eval command in this search contains multiple expressions, separated by commas.
sourcetype="cisco_esa" mailfrom=*| eval accountname=split(mailfrom,"@"), from_domain=mvindex(accountname,-1), location=if(match(from_domain, "[^\n\r\s]+\.(com|net|org)"), "local", "abroad") | stats count by location
The first half of this search is similar to Example 12. The split() function is used to break up the email address in the mailfrom field. The mvindex function defines the from_domain as the portion of the mailfrom field after the @ symbol.
Then, the if() and match() functions are used: if the from_domain value ends with a .com, .net., or .org, the location field is assigned local. If from_domain does not match, location is assigned abroad.
The eval results are then piped into the stats command to count the number of results for each location value and produce the following results table:
EvalEx5 resultsTable.png
After you run the search, you can add the mailfrom and location fields to your events to see the classification inline with your events. If your search results contain these fields, they will look something like this:
EvalEx5 eventsList.png
Note: This example merely illustrates using the match() function. If you want to classify your events and quickly search for those events, the better approach is to use event types. Read more about event types in the Knowledge manager manual.
16. Convert the duration of transactions into more readable string formats
This example uses the sample dataset from the Search Tutorial but should work with any format of Apache Web access log. Download the data set from this topic in the Search Tutorial and follow the instructions to upload it to your Splunk deployment. Then, run this search using the time range, Other > Yesterday.
Reformat a numeric field measuring time in seconds into a more readable string format.
sourcetype=access_* | transaction clientip maxspan=10m | eval durationstr=tostring(duration,"duration")
This example uses the tostring() function and the duration option to convert the duration of the transaction into a more readable string formatted as HH:MM:SS. The duration is the time between the first and last events in the transaction and is given in seconds.
The search defines a new field, durationstr, for the reformatted duration value. After you run the search, you can use the Field picker to show the two fields inline with your events. If your search results contain these fields, they will look something like this:

Serial or parallel elastic drives (SEA, PEA) are useful when energy efficiency, controllability and human-machine interaction are important. This drive topology uses elastic elements in the torque or force flow, which can be arranged serially, i.e. directly in the force flow, or parallel to it - for example to compensate for the weight force.
At the IMT, drives with about 20 W power and the widest possible frequency bandwidth (up to 500 Hz) are to be set up and characterised. Test benches and measurement infrastructure are available for this purpose.

Sub-arctic climates experience temperatures from 100° F (38° C) in the summer to –60° F (–51° C) in the winter (Figure 1). While there is nothing spectacular about the high end of the range, the low end impacts the functionality of pneumatic actuators.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
There is never a good time for an actuator to fail, but a failure when the temperature is at 60 below or when a blizzard limits capacity for transporting repair parts could be especially troublesome. Careful selection of valve actuation is critical.
When considering safety integrity, one assesses what might cause failure in a product. To illustrate, let's begin with an off-the-shelf pneumatic actuator intended for normal service and then consider what may fail if applied at –60° F (–51° C). Our basic parameters are as follows:
- The actuator housing is steel.
- The drive shaft is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel.
- The seals are buna.
- The shaft bushings are Nylon 6.
With these parameters in mind, at –60° F (–51° C):
The steel housing has become brittle. It is not necessarily weaker, but a sudden impact or an imperfection that would have no effect on the metal when ductile, could result in a sudden fracture at these sub-zero temperatures because the temperature is below the brittle transition temperature of steel. The question "will it fail at –60° F?" cannot be answered without knowing if there will be sudden impact loading, but possibility of failure has increased there.
A normally ductile metal will yield before fracture while a brittle metal will fracture without yield (Figure 2).
The precipitation-hardened shaft material has also become brittle and may fracture given an impact load. If, for example, the driven valve resists opening and then breaks free, the resulting sudden impact may cause the actuator shaft to fail.
The shaft material will have contracted at a rate of 9.4 by 10–6 per inch of diameter per degree F, while the Nylon 6 bushings will contract at a rate of 44.2 x 10–6 per inch per degree F. If the original gap between the bushing bore and the shaft surface was.002 inches and if the shaft diameter was 3 inches, then 130° F (54° C) temperature change from 70° F (21° C) to –60° F (–51° C) would contract the shaft diameter to 2.996 inches and the 3.002 inches diameter bushing bore to 2.985 inches, causing binding and failure.
The buna seals have turned to stone. Their normal resiliency, which allows flowing into and sealing leak paths, is gone. The seals cannot flex and leakage will occur at all seal points resulting again in actuator failure.
Failure of the example standard actuator is a certainty in this case. While there is nothing in the above example that is not obvious to every designer and user, the solution to avoid failure is to apply what we know.
For example, metals that have a brittle transition temperature that falls within the range of possible application temperatures should not be used unless absolutely no impact loads can occur. Examples of suitable metals are 300 series stainless steel and aluminum—neither has brittle transition temperature. Because of its greater strength, stainless steel may be the best choice for larger actuators.
Figures 3 and 4 show a simplistic representative impact test performed on a notched steel bar. One end was locked in a vice, and a hammer blow served to provide an impact. At room temperature, the hammer blow bent the specimen, but there was no fracture.
Figures 5 and 6 show an identical specimen that was brought to a temperature of –60° F. (An interesting side note is that the air cans used to clean a keyboard, when turned over, emit a liquid that has a measured temperature of –60° F, which proved convenient for testing.)
If at all possible, where there is close fit between moving parts, select materials having the same coefficients of thermal expansion/contraction (Figure 7).
Select seal materials that retain adequate resiliency at the lowest temperatures to be encountered. Additionally, eliminate every possible seal via basic design. A seal that is removed by design cannot fail. Figure 8 shows a simple drop test where a bar is dropped against an O-ring at both room temperature and at –60° F. Basic buna, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), Viton and silicone O-rings were tested. All except Viton showed excellent "bounce" at room temperature but only silicone retained resiliency and bounce at –60° F. Suppliers show low-temperature options for each of these elastomers, but in-house testing is recommended.
Designers and users who read this may respond: "We've used essentially standard actuators and all we did was select a seal material that remained resilient at the low temperatures." This article is not stating such a combination will fail, only that it may fail—the steel plates of the Titanic may not have fractured if it had not hit the iceberg, and not all World War II Liberty ships cracked in half. But by considering the above suggestions, the supplier can greatly reduce the risk of failure.
Users, as well as designers, have responsibilities regarding pneumatic actuators under extreme cold conditions.
First, and most obvious, users should shelter the actuator from weather extremes where possible. Second, users must assure a dry air supply, at least 15° F (–9° C) below the lowest temperature that may be experienced since ice plays havoc with air flow and mechanical motion. Finally, users should assess the recommended actuator and whether all possible precautions have been incorporated by the supplier.
Clearly, pneumatic actuators can perform their intended functions despite having to operate in extreme temperatures. However, they need to be designed and manufactured properly, and users need to take responsibility to keep them functioning correctly.

One of the most important concerns when using led lights is the service life. If the service life is not long, it will increase the cost of investment. To prolong the life of the led lamp as much as possible, a special led thermal grease is used to make it perform better in terms of thermal conductivity.
Why use led thermal grease?
For led lights, the main cause of failure is heat dissipation. When heat dissipation is not done properly, it directly leads to the lamp beads being burnt out. To dissipate the heat better when the led lamp is working, you need to use a special led thermal grease. This product uses silicone grease as the main raw material, which greatly improves thermal conductivity. It is a good way to achieve the cooling function and make the led lights work properly.
How does led thermal grease work?
It is a product with low thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity, which is suitable for a wide range of applications. During use, the free degree is low and it can resist high and low temperatures, waterproof and aging. As a product with good thermal conductivity, it is insulating and stable and does not have any corrosive effects.
At what temperature can it be used normally?
Generally speaking, led thermal grease has good resistance to high and low temperatures and can be used in environments from -50 to -240 degrees Celsius without any change in paste form.
Nowadays, the led industry has been using led thermal grease on a large scale, with the escort of this product, even if used continuously for ten hours, the heat can be dissipated normally, effectively extending the service life. To save more energy and cost, it is recommended that the majority of users carefully go shopping. And learn the correct way to apply it, it does not need a long time to cure, and it can play performance after successful application.

Numerical simulation of flood barriers
This paper deals with testing and numerical simulating of flood barriers. The Czech Republic has been hit by several very devastating floods in past years. These floods caused several dozens of causalities and property damage reached billions of Euros. The development of flood measures is very important, especially for the reduction the number of casualties and the amount of property damage. The aim of flood control measures is the detention of water outside populated areas and drainage of water from populated areas as soon as possible. For new flood barrier design it is very important to know its behaviour in case of a real flood. During the development of the barrier several standardized tests have to be carried out. Based on the results from these tests numerical simulation was compiled using Abaqus software and some analyses were carried out. Based on these numerical simulations it will be possible to predict the behaviour of barriers and thus improve their design.

Matapa, also known as the empire of the Mwene Matapa; Matapa also spelled Mutapa, a Southern African empire ruled by a line of kings known as the Mwene Matapa. Matapa encompassed the territory between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers, in what is now Zimbabwe and Mozambique, from the 14th to the 17th century. It is associated with the historical site known as Great Zimbabwe.
Oral traditions ascribe the dynasty's foundation to Mbire, a semimythical ruler of the 14th century. His great-great-grandson Nyatsimba, who ruled in the late 15th century, was the actual creator of the empire. During his reign the centre of the state was shifted from Zimbabwe north to Mount Fura on the Zambezi River. In the 16th century the Matapa empire was invaded by the Portuguese, who moved in from the east coast beginning in the 1530s. When the reigning Mwene Matapa attempted to expel them in 1629, they deposed him and forced his successor to grant them extensive trading and mining privileges. By the late 17th century, the Matapa empire was overshadowed by the Rozwi empire of southwestern Rhodesia.

In this article Hays argues that the theme of justice is the central theme and motif of Luke 18:1 to Luke 19:10. Hays notices Luke's use of the Old Testament prophets and the theme of justice to be found in the prophets as it is connected to the coming messianic era. He then notices the socio-economic context of the first-century Palestine. Finally, Hays demonstrates how the theme of justice runs through Luke 18 to 19.
In this article, Hays responds to Clyde Billington who gave a proposal regarding the textual variant problem in 1 Samuel 17:4 concerning the height of Goliath. He responds to a number of aspects, including the difficulty of defining a cubit, the unexplained Dead Sea Scrolls evidence, the fear of Saul and its narrative context, Goliath's armour and weapons, etc.

Sarcasm Detection with Machine Learning
Sarcasm has been part of our language for many years. It means being the opposite of what you mean, usually with a distinct tone of voice in a fun way. If you think that anyone can understand sarcasm, then you are wrong, because understanding sarcasm depends on your language skills and your knowledge of other people's minds. But what about a computer? Is it possible to train a machine learning model that can detect whether a sentence is sarcastic or not? Yes, it is! So if you want to learn how to detect sarcasm with machine learning, this article is for you. In this article, I will walk you through the task of Sarcasm Detection with Machine Learning using Python.
Sarcasm Detection with Machine Learning
Sarcasm means being funny by being the opposite of what you mean. It has been part of every human language for years. Today, it is also used in news headlines and various other social media platforms to gain more attention. Sarcasm detection is a natural language processing and binary classification task. We can train a machine learning model to detect whether or not a sentence is sarcastic using a dataset of sarcastic and non-sarcastic sentences that I found on Kaggle.
I hope you now have understood what sarcasm is. In the section below, I'll walk you through the task of detecting sarcasm with machine learning using the Python programming language. The dataset that I am using for this task can be downloaded from here.
Sarcasm Detection using Python
Now let's start with the task of sarcasm detection with machine learning using Python. I'll start this task by importing the necessary Python libraries and the dataset:
 article_link ... is_sarcastic
0 _URL_ ... 0
1 _URL_ ... 0
2 _URL_ ... 1
3 _URL_ ... 1
4 _URL_ ... 0
[5 rows x 3 columns]
The "is_sarcastic" column in this dataset contains the labels that we have to predict for the task of sarcasm detection. It contains binary values as 1 and 0, where 1 means sarcastic and 0 means not sarcastic. So for simplicity, I will transform the values of this column as "sarcastic" and "not sarcastic" instead of 1 and 0:
data["is_sarcastic"] = data["is_sarcastic"].map({0: "Not Sarcasm", 1: "Sarcasm"})
print(data.head())
 article_link ... is_sarcastic
0 _URL_ ... Not Sarcasm
1 _URL_ ... Not Sarcasm
2 _URL_ ... Sarcasm
3 _URL_ ... Sarcasm
4 _URL_ ... Not Sarcasm
[5 rows x 3 columns]
Now let's prepare the data for training a machine learning model. This dataset has three columns, out of which we only need the "headline" column as a feature and the "is_sarcastic" column as a label. So let's select these columns and split the data into 20% test set and 80% training set:
Now I will be using the Bernoulli Naive Bayes algorithm to train a model for the task of sarcasm detection:
model = BernoulliNB()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
print(model.score(X_test, y_test))
0.8448146761512542
Now let's use a sarcastic text as input to test whether our machine learning model detects sarcasm or not:
user = input("Enter a Text: ")
data = cv.transform([user]).toarray()
output = model.predict(data)
print(output)
Enter a Text: Cows lose their jobs as milk prices drop
['Sarcasm']
So this is how you can easily train a machine learning model for the task of sarcasm detection.
Summary
So this is how you can use machine learning to detect sarcasm by using the Python programming language. Sarcasm has been part of our language for many years. It means being the opposite of what you mean, usually with a distinct tone of voice in a fun way. I hope you liked this article on the task of sarcasm detection with machine learning using Python.

The Shine Mural Festival (stylized "SHINE") returns for its sixth year this November. The seven-day extravaganza is hosted throughout the 'Burg from November 7-14. This year the festival is partnering with PangeaSeed Foundation's Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans program, and calling it "SHINE x Sea Walls: St. Petersburg."
"In these unprecedented times, the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival is adapting to meet the challenges that St. Petersburg, and many cities around the globe, are facing. And now, more than ever, we recognize the critical need to nurture the arts, celebrate our reconnection to the environment and use art as a unifying force," states Jenee Priebe in a press release from St. Petersburg Arts Alliance.
This year's artist lineup, rather than mixing in national and international artists, will focus entirely on Florida-based artists with an emphasis on Tampa Bay artists creating 10 new murals throughout the city. Also in the works, will be a "Bright Spot" mural in collaboration with local youth to educate and inspire.
According to the release, each wall will explore interconnectedness of human health and environmental health.
"As a coastal city, climate change and sea-level rise are ongoing threats to the wellbeing of St. Petersburg. Beach tourism is an important part of the area's economy and issues of storm surge, plastic pollutants, clean drinking water, harmful algae blooms and sustainable fisheries are important community education topics. Furthermore, intersectionality as it relates to environmental impact will be a focal point of this year's event," shares Priebe.
Being that we're still in the midst of a pandemic, rather than hosting its signature block party, Sea Walls St. Petersburg is set to host virtual events.
Until then, you can get the Pixelstix app, which brings 80 murals from past Shine Mural Festivals to life. The update to the Pixelstix app allows users to view the St. Pete Art Alliance's new "Drive-In Mural Theater," which consists of a three-to-five-minute narration about the work and information about the artist.
More details to come as the 2020 mural festival approaches.
Support local journalism in these crazy days. Our small but mighty team is working tirelessly to bring you up to the minute news on how Coronavirus is affecting Tampa and surrounding areas. Please consider making a one time or monthly donation to help support our staff. Every little bit helps.

socketpipe dds
An RJ-45 plug coming out of a pipe
Socketpipe
Socketpipe connects over a TCP/IP socket a remote command specified to a local input generation command and/or a local output processing command. The input and output of the remote command are appropriately redirected so that the remote command's input will come from the local input generation command and the remote command's output will be sent to the local output processing command. The remote command is executed on the machine accessed through the login command. The socketpipe executable should be available through the execution path in the remote machine. The braces used for delimiting the commands and their arguments should be space-separated and can be nested. This feature allows you to setup complex and efficient topologies of distributed communicating processes.
Although the initial socketpipe communication setup is performed through client-server intermediaries such as ssh(1) or rsh(1), the communication channel that socketpipe establishes is a direct socket connection between the local and the remote commands. Without the use of socketpipe, when piping remote data through ssh(1) or rsh(1), each data block is read at the local end by the respective client, is sent to the remote daemon and written out again to the remote process. The use of socketpipe removes the inefficiency of the multiple data copies and context switches and can in some cases provide dramatic throughput improvements. On the other hand, the confidentiality and integrity of the data passing through socketpipe's data channel is not protected; socketpipe should therefore be used only within a confined LAN environment. (The authentication process uses the protocol of the underlying login program and is no more or less vulnerable than using the program in isolation; ssh(1) remains secure, rsh(1) continues to be insecure.)
Examples
socketpipe -i { tar cf - / } -l { ssh remotehost } -r { dd of=/dev/st0 bs=32k }
Backup the local host on a tape drive located on remotehost.
socketpipe -l { ssh remotehost } -r { dd if=/dev/st0 bs=32k } -o { tar xpf - /home/luser }
Restore a directory using the tape drive on the remote host.
socketpipe -i { tar cf - / } -l { ssh remotehost } -r { bzip2 -c } -o { dd of=/dev/st0 bs=32k }
Backup the local disk on a local tape, compressing the data on the (presumably a lot more powerful) remotehost.

Tent Stove Terminology
What is a Tent Stove?
A tent stove is a wood-burning appliance designed to be used inside a tent as a heat source and/or cooking device. All wood stoves consist of the same basic design components: An enclosed fire box with a fuel loading door, air intake to deliver oxygen to the fire, and a flue pipe system to vent smoke and combustion byproduct to the outside atmosphere. Generally, tent stoves are smaller, lighter, and more portable versions of the wood stoves found in homes. There are several types of tent stoves which vary in design, materials, and features to cater to a range of environments and applications – not exclusive to use in tents as the name suggests.
Tent stove terminology varies and uniquely reflective of the array of cultures and applications in which they are used.
- Descriptive expressions are most common, i.e. cylinder stoves, portable wood stoves, and wood-burning camp stove.
- Colorado Stove is the most widely used location-based designation.
- Operator specific synonyms for tent stove are the most interesting and diverse including sheepherder stove, guide stove, outfitter stove, glamping stove, cowboy stove, and camp cookers.
- DIY tent stoves are typically named after their repurposed parts – think ammo can, coffee can, or steel drum.
- Propane fired camping stoves are often confused with tent stoves, despite being extremely dangerous to use in a tent.

Disproportionation happens when an electron from one atom is taken by another one, making two different chemicals. It is the opposite of symproportionation, which is the giving of electrons from one atom to another atom, It makes one chemical from two different chemicals.
Example of disproportionation[change | change source]
Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) reacts with itself when it is dried. One atom gives two electrons away to two other atoms. The first atom becomes sodium chlorate, while the other two that got the electrons becomes sodium chloride. 3 NaClO → 2 NaCl + NaClO3
Example of symproportionation[change | change source]
Ferric ions react with iron metal. Two ferric ions give two electrons (one electron for each atom) to one iron atom. The ferric ion becomes a ferrous ion. The iron also becomes a ferrous ion. 2 Fe3+ + Fe → 3 Fe2+


Robust data collection essential for health system resilience
By Gilles Soulez
COVID-19 led to a significant drop in medical imaging examinations from March to June 2020. Patients have been adversely affected by the deferral of imaging procedures and lengthening wait lists. Solutions are needed to ensure a sustainable system so that Canadians can access quality, safe, appropriate care during and after the pandemic.
Patchy data undermines efforts to improve patient Access to Care
We cannot improve what we do not measure. There is a shortage of timely and comprehensive data to understand and track imaging volume and demand in Canada, within and across jurisdictions. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reports on this information, but not all provinces and territories contribute and there is no established benchmark for medical imaging wait times. Not all provinces and territories have a centralized inventory of wait lists and there is no universal imaging priority classification system in place in Canada. Imaging wait times are not systematically reported according to a standardized national framework.
Furthermore, not all provinces are using the standardized medical imaging wait time benchmarks recommended by the CAR. Pan-Canadian medical imaging wait time benchmarks are necessary to create a national dashboard and methodology which can be used to support and promote equitable access to imaging based on medical need, regardless of geographic challenges.
The lack of data is a major hurdle to examining the true impact of the shutdown of services for the health of Canadians.
Our attempts to analyze wait time data are limited because data are not available for every province or jurisdiction and the provinces that do have wait time data utilize different benchmarks. Demand for imaging has consistently outpaced supply even with demand being relatively predictable. Prior to COVID-19, wait times for CT and MRI exceeded recognized standards in most provinces, particularly for patients assigned to non-urgent, non-critical priority levels.
The COVID-19 effect
Imaging volumes were significantly hindered by curtailing of care deemed non-urgent in the spring and early summer. We observed a late resurgence of imaging throughput in June, but the overall level remained below 80% of pre-COVID activities. The important drop in requisitions during the same period helped to maintain the gap between requisitions and examinations performed at a similar level to pre-COVID-19. However, we can observe a widening of this gap and anticipate an increasingly difficult situation when general referral patterns resume to pre-pandemic levels. We have new volume data indicating growing wait lists for non-urgent patients across modalities. Modalities with high throughput (ultrasound and CT) are more problematic, as there is a greater gap to overcome.
Obtaining a complete picture of exactly how many Canadians have been affected by the shutdown and postponement of necessary imaging services remains challenging, given the limitations of the available data.
When will we close the gap?
Despite a decreased demand for imaging services between March and June 2020, the number of Canadians with a health condition that necessitates getting a scan has not changed. This means demand will likely return to pre-COVID levels over time, and likely surpass pre-COVID demand to make up for the current decrease.
Putting our most optimistic assumption forward as to how quickly CT and MRI services can recover, the total difference between the expected provision of CT and MRI and what is missing accounts for approximately 1,440,000 CT and 612,000 MRI scans between March 2020 and December 2022. We do not know the full extent of the backlog for ultrasound services, but our data suggest a dire lack of ultrasound capacity.
These findings will not come as a surprise to most health professionals, however, the pandemic has certainly brought the deficiencies in the healthcare system into the spotlight. Consistently centering around the needs of the patient will naturally lead to the development of data-driven applications and platforms to streamline care pathways and the reasonable exchange of patient data in a jurisdiction-agnostic way. The silver lining of the pandemic may be the recognition of pinch points, barriers, and unnecessary hurdles in the system, and the subsequent building of political will to enact system-wide change.


STRING ...])
colorstrip() removes all color escape sequences from the provided strings, returning the modified strings separately in array context or joined together in scalar context. Its arguments are not modified.
colorvalid(ATTR[, ATTR ...])
colorvalid() takes attribute strings the same as color() and returns true if all attributes are known and false otherwise.
Constant Interface
Alternately, if you import :constants, you can use the following constants directly:
CLEAR RESET BOLD DARK
FAINT UNDERLINE UNDERSCORE BLINK
REVERSE CONCEALED
BLACK RED GREEN YELLOW
BLUE MAGENTA CYAN WHITE
BRIGHT_BLACK BRIGHT_RED BRIGHT_GREEN BRIGHT_YELLOW
BRIGHT_BLUE BRIGHT_MAGENTA BRIGHT_CYAN BRIGHT_WHITE
ON_BLACK ON_RED ON_GREEN ON_YELLOW
ON_BLUE ON_MAGENTA ON_CYAN ON_WHITE
ON_BRIGHT_BLACK ON_BRIGHT_RED ON_BRIGHT_GREEN ON_BRIGHT_YELLOW
ON_BRIGHT_BLUE ON_BRIGHT_MAGENTA ON_BRIGHT_CYAN ON_BRIGHT_WHITE
These are the same as color('attribute') and can be used if you prefer typing:
print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text", RESET, "\n";
to
print colored ("Text", 'bold blue on_white'), "\n";
(Note that the newline is kept separate to avoid confusing the terminal as described above since a background color is being used.)
When using the constants, if you don't want to have to remember to add the , RESET at the end of each print line, you can set $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET to a true value. Then, the display mode will automatically be reset if there is no comma after the constant. In other words, with that variable set:
print BOLD BLUE "Text\n";
will reset the display mode afterward, whereas:
print BOLD, BLUE, "Text\n";
will not. If you are using background colors, you will probably want to print the newline with a separate print statement to avoid confusing the terminal.
The subroutine interface has the advantage over the constants interface in that only two subroutines are exported into your namespace, versus thirty-eight in the constants interface. On the flip side, the constants interface has the advantage of better compile time error checking, since misspelled names of colors or attributes in calls to color() and colored() won't be caught until runtime whereas misspelled names of constants will be caught at compile time. So, pollute your namespace with almost two dozen subroutines that you may not even use that often, or risk a silly bug by mistyping an attribute. Your choice, TMTOWTDI after all.
The Color Stack
As of Term::ANSIColor 2.0, you can import :pushpop and maintain a stack of colors using PUSHCOLOR, POPCOLOR, and LOCALCOLOR. PUSHCOLOR takes the attribute string that starts its argument and pushes it onto a stack of attributes. POPCOLOR removes the top of the stack and restores the previous attributes set by the argument of a prior PUSHCOLOR. LOCALCOLOR surrounds its argument in a PUSHCOLOR and POPCOLOR so that the color resets afterward.
When using PUSHCOLOR, POPCOLOR, and LOCALCOLOR, it's particularly important to not put commas between the constants.
print PUSHCOLOR BLUE "Text\n";
will correctly push BLUE onto the top of the stack.
print PUSHCOLOR, BLUE, "Text\n"; # wrong!
will not, and a subsequent pop won't restore the correct attributes. PUSHCOLOR pushes the attributes set by its argument, which is normally a string of color constants. It can't ask the terminal what the current attributes are.
DIAGNOSTICS
Bad escape sequence %s
(F) You passed an invalid ANSI escape sequence to uncolor().
Bareword "%s" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
(F) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as:
$Foobar = FOOBAR . "This line should be blue\n";
or:
@Foobar = FOOBAR, "This line should be blue\n";
This will only show up under use strict (another good reason to run under use strict).
Invalid attribute name %s
(F) You passed an invalid attribute name to either color() or colored().
Name "%s" used only once: possible typo
(W) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as:
print FOOBAR "This text is color FOOBAR\n";
It's probably better to always use commas after constant names in order to force the next error.
No comma allowed after filehandle
(F) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as:
print FOOBAR, "This text is color FOOBAR\n";
Generating this fatal compile error is one of the main advantages of using the constants interface, since you'll immediately know if you mistype a color name.
No name for escape sequence %s
(F) The ANSI escape sequence passed to uncolor() contains escapes which aren't recognized and can't be translated to names.
ENVIRONMENT
ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED
If this environment variable is set, all of the functions defined by this module (color(), colored(), and all of the constants not previously used in the program) will not output any escape sequences and instead will just return the empty string or pass through the original text as appropriate. This is intended to support easy use of scripts using this module on platforms that don't support ANSI escape sequences.
For it to have its proper effect, this environment variable must be set before any color constants are used in the program.
RESTRICTIONS
It would be nice if one could leave off the commas around the constants entirely and just say:
print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text\n" RESET;
but the syntax of Perl doesn't allow this. You need a comma after the string. (Of course, you may consider it a bug that commas between all the constants aren't required, in which case you may feel free to insert commas unless you're using $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET or PUSHCOLOR/POPCOLOR.)
For easier debugging, you may prefer to always use the commas when not setting $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET or PUSHCOLOR/POPCOLOR so that you'll get a fatal compile error rather than a warning.
It's not possible to use this module to embed formatting and color attributes using Perl formats. They replace the escape character with a space (as documented in perlform(1)), resulting in garbled output from the unrecognized attribute. Even if there were a way around that problem, the format doesn't know that the non-printing escape sequence is zero-length and would incorrectly format the output. For formatted output using color or other attributes, either use sprintf() instead or use formline() and then add the color or other attributes after formatting and before output.
NOTES
The codes generated by this module are standard terminal control codes, complying with ECMA-048 and ISO 6429 (generally referred to as "ANSI color" for the color codes). The non-color control codes (bold, dark, italic, underline, and reverse) are part of the earlier ANSI X3.64 standard for control sequences for video terminals and peripherals.
Note that not all displays are ISO 6429-compliant, or even X3.64-compliant (or are even attempting to be so). This module will not work as expected on displays that do not honor these escape sequences, such as cmd.exe, 4nt.exe, and command.com under either Windows NT or Windows 2000. They may just be ignored, or they may display as an ESC character followed by some apparent garbage.
Jean Delvare provided the following table of different common terminal emulators and their support for the various attributes and others have helped me flesh it out:
 clear bold faint under blink reverse conceal
------------------------------------------------------------------------
xterm yes yes no yes yes yes yes
linux yes yes yes bold yes yes no
rxvt yes yes no yes bold/black yes no
dtterm yes yes yes yes reverse yes yes
teraterm yes reverse no yes rev/red yes no
aixterm kinda normal no yes no yes yes
PuTTY yes color no yes no yes no
Windows yes no no no no yes no
Cygwin SSH yes yes no color color color yes
Mac Terminal yes yes no yes yes yes yes
Windows is Windows telnet, Cygwin SSH is the OpenSSH implementation under Cygwin on Windows NT, and Mac Terminal is the Terminal application in Mac OS X. Where the entry is other than yes or no, that emulator displays the given attribute as something else instead. Note that on an aixterm, clear doesn't reset colors; you have to explicitly set the colors back to what you want. More entries in this table are welcome.


Controlled experiments: what do examiners mean? Grade 9 Understanding for IGCSE Biology
There are several specification points in the iGCSE syllabus that mention controlled experiments. For example in the recent work studied there are two:
 - describe how to carry out simple controlled experiments to illustrate how enzyme activity can be affected by changes in temperature
 - describe simple controlled experiments to investigate photosynthesis showing the evolution of oxygen from a water plant, the production of starch and the requirements of light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll
So what exactly do they mean by a controlled experiment?
In an investigation you need to know what is meant by the independent variable and the dependent variable. To put it in the simplest terms, the independent variable is the thing you are altering; the dependent variable is the thing you are measuring.
In any experiment there will also be a range of other variables that might affect the dependent variable. For example in the first bullet point above, enzyme-catalysed reactions are not only affected by changes in temperature. They can be affected by pH, by the concentration of enzyme and by the concentration of substrate. A controlled experiment is one in which these other variables – now called control variables – are kept constant to ensure it is a fair test. So if you were devising an experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme reaction, make sure the pH is kept constant by using pH buffers and that the enzyme concentration and substrate concentration are exactly the same in every experimental set up.
It's as simple as that…….
